Arizona Cardinal Recievers (1 Viewer)

[rockbottom895]

Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin have clearly shot down on the fantasy boards after the disappointing effort of Kurt Warner. With Matt finally going under center, are Anquan or Fitz even worth having on your team? How much will this QB situation affect Anquan and Fitz? Will they turn into the next Randy Moss?

Sucks for me. They were my 3rd and 4th round picks.

They rank #15 and #17 in a PPR league. A person could say they are down this year so far or someone could say they were overhyped with the likes of a Warner/Leinart shuffle during the season a high possibility. Besides, many... many high drafted wide receivers are much lower than their ADP. Many late rounders are hitting the high ranks right now... it has only been 4 weeks as well.

I think they make great Buy Low candidates. That is assuming that the Leinart struggles out of the gate. If he tanks his first game, you'll have some nervous Fitz/Boldin owners on your hands.

I'm a firm believer in trusting your own eyes. And what my eyes tell me from watching Leinart for years at USC, and then in the preseason (I know, I know), he has what it takes to succeed in the NFL and I don't think he'll have a typical rookie QB learning curve.

While I think it will take Leinart 3-4 games to get his legs under him and start getting it together, I have no doubt that ML will be an effective enough QB *this year* and Fitz & Boldin will produce respectable numbers heading into the stretch.

Im targeting them. Im also a patient coach/owner.

I think Leinart will prove to be an improvement by secondhalf/playoff time and considering the output at QB/WR under Denny Green, this is the only way to provide an opportunity to get these players. Much like me now having Portis is several leagues.

2nd and 3rd here.It wasnt the production that scared me so much as the pain of seeing the team struggle and half my team going down with it. Shipped Boldin (though I like him better than Fitz I didnt have nuts to loosen the grip on some peoples #1 overall WR) for T.O. 2 weeks ago. Looked ok, then terrible, then brilliant, then awful, then ok. Its making my head hurt.You just cant make this call at this point. Anyone that says they can are full of themselves, full of crap or both. A couple preseason snaps and playing on one of the greatest college teams in history means nothing at this point. Does he get some protection? Does the staff have the faith in him to let him throw the ball? How long will it take for him to throw accurately with guys in his face in an offense he's been in for all of 3 months and taking a small percentage of the snaps? Will he lean on one or the other? Timing? I've heard so many guys here talking about how Leinart is an upgrade. At this point, that is pure crazy talk. When he regularly throws 270 (which he'll have to) with fewer than 3 turnovers, THEN he's an upgrade.

 

[Cleavage Connoisseur]

I guessed right in that Lienart would be the starting QB before the midway point of the season. I think Boldin will be more productive than Fitz as he runs the short slants over the middle. The O line is horrible and Lienart will need to get rid of the ball quickly or he will get nailed over and over again.

I don't forsee many deep bombs being thrown.

 

[hotdogcollars]

they're still fine if you got 'em. The cards still suck and have no running game so they WILL throw the ball a lot. Neither will probably do much damage in the endzone this year, but if you're in a PPR, not a big deal.

if you dont have 'em, wait until Leinhart struggles for a game or two then snatch them up. They're still solid starters and may have been overhyped, but they're not trash either.

Consider the first 2 games he will be playing. KC, while only having played 3 games is the #1 passing defense in the league. Bear in mind, this will be his 1st start. Game #2-At home on Monday night, sadly vs. 'Da Bears. I don't think that those games will cause a panic for owners of Fitz and Bouldin to unload them. Unless you play with a lot of guppies that will not be the case at all. The next 2 games are against Oakland and Green Bay. Most owners can read a schedule. So for the next couple of weeks, curb your expectations, bench them if you have viable replacements while Leinart gets his feet wet. I'm on the side of being a believer that he is going to be sucessful. He brings one major thing to the Cards offense that Warner never had-MOBILITY.

How much worse in Leinart than McCown was last year when he was in?

Fitz was fine last year with Warner and McCown...neither of which look to be worthy starters in the NFL the rest of this year. So what is different this year? Has to be line play.

By the way, did you see how similar Fitz and Boldin's are, with Boldin playing 2 games less?

 

[Osaurus]

Traded Boldin 3 weeks ago for Javon Walker. I see Walker doing good things as long as Plummer does not become the QB of old.

 

[JAA]

These are pretty simple questions, for any player ...

Take the players current output, average it over the rest of the season with respect to ppg. Look at your leagues current WR output to see where the average would put them. Do you believe this is where they will finish in the rankings at the end of the season?

If you think they will finish higher, buy. Same or lower, sell.

 

[The Jacket]

A lot of people think their numbers will go up with a "better" quarterback but I see them going down. The primary reason both did so well was opportunity. They had targets last year, combined, like no other receivers in football.

I don't see Leinart throwing as many passes as Warner and I don't see him locking on to them as much. I see more drop-offs to Edge and short outlets to Leonard Pope and the crossing receivers.

Ballpark prediction for this week: Fitzgerald 6 rec, 65 yards, 0 TD; Boldin 4 rec, 70 yards, 0 TD

I AGREE

Me too.I'm targeting a trade for one of them in two weeks, after the Chicago game, right before the opponents get a lot easier and Leinart has a better grasp of the offense.

 

[Wingnut]

I cant believe I may be benching my 2nd and 3rd round picks this week (Fitz and Chambers).

I dont think Ive ever done that before.
