Brian Quick WR Saint Louis Rams [Appalachian State] (1 Viewer)

Good opportunity to buy him for cheap...maybe after the Seattle game if you want to risk it. He's clearly the #1 receiver on the offense, he just ran against a team very good against the pass who made it a point of stopping him. Look at the targets he got late, he was blanketed with multiple defenders.

 
It's not a bad idea to keep quick on the bench this week. Seattle d is actually not a terrible matchup these days for opposing passers, but neither is SF. SF disrupted stl passing game by keeping Davis on the run and unable to move through his progressions. I suspect that Seattle has the weaponry to create the same havoc so I expect similar results this week.

Also, not sure if Schotty is creative enough with his WRS to move quick around the formation so as to get him free from Sherman.

All in all, quick has been great and very dependable until last week as a wr3.

Last week told us that while he is ascending, he might not be ready for prime time yet and he has to prove that he can still get open consistently with extra defensive attention.

If you have better options for this week (Id say even justin hunter vs Washington) then leave quick on the bench and see how he handles another tough matchup.

Yes but Austin Davis wasn't even close on many of those throws. He looked overwhelmed.

Not sure I want to trot Quick out there again this week against Seattle. I could see another 1 catch game happening.

Exactly my thinking. Davis was under durress all game. Davis had very few opportunities it seemed to set his feet and throw. The pocket just simply wasn't there. I expect Seattle to do much the same. Unless the STL o-line steps up, he's going to be running for his life with no one to target.

 
I just sent him in a package deal Alshon+Vereen for Gio+Quick. It was originally Allen Robinson but requester wanted Quick and I obliged. I just think the ball will be too spread out on that team. Even in both of Davis's games, his points came from TDs, I don't think targets will be there for him to function as reliable WR2.

Nah. About a dead even trade using league-specific value per FBG. RBs are not overvalued in our league. Trust me. I'm sitting at 2-4 with the best RB stable by far. Really depends on how you value Quick which is why I posted.

I personally think he's going to be even more hit-or-miss than typical WRs and I would not want to have to be playing him every week as a WR or flex.

 
What is his value now in dynasty? It seems if he got hurt week 4 he'd probably be a WR3 going into next year. But now it seems like he's almost droppable and not worth a 3rd. Do we assume Fisher is back and he is penciled in as starter and "lack of a better option" WR1 next year? I don't expect Bailey to do enough to supplant him and I don't expect them to draft a WR early but perhaps could go after a veteran far better than he or any other current Ram.

If you can spare the roster space, he is a hold. Coming into the NFL he was considered a project and a work-in-progress, however it did all seem to come together this season. Talent doesn't always win out over opportunity, but I think he is worth the risk and he remains a long term stash in my leagues.

 
I'm not sure that Bailey isn't better. They are certainly different types of players but that doesn't preclude his productivity.

There is a lot up in the air here. I'm holding Quick because I think the talent is there.

I am holding him. I saw enough this year to lead me to believe that he could be a team's WR1.

 
Rotoworld:

Brian Quick recently underwent surgery to repair his dislocated shoulder and torn rotator cuff, but coach Jeff Fisher revealed the injury was worse than originally thought.

In other words, there was more damage than the team believed, though Quick is still expected to make a full recovery sometime next year. Shoulders can be troublesome, nagging, and tough to fully get over. Quick will likely be sidelined until next summer, with him entering the final year of his rookie deal.

Rotoworld:

Brian Quick is still "at a relatively early stage" in his rehab from shoulder surgery.

"I’m doing range of motion right now, just trying to get that strength back," Quick said. "I’m using a little weight right now, a three-pound weight." Quick went down in Week 8, tearing his rotator cuff and three other ligaments inside his shoulder. He's facing a long recovery and is expected to miss OTAs before hopefully being back for training camp. Quick has one year left on his contract.

Rotoworld:

Speaking Wednesday, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said Brian Quick (shoulder surgery) is "starting to see the light," but hedged when asked if he'd be ready for camp.

Quick's injury was severe, as he suffered both a dislocated shoulder and torn rotator cuff. It requires a methodical rehab. Barring setbacks, he should be ready for Week 1, but it's possible he'll be limited in preseason action. Neither Quick — who is in a contract year — nor the Rams need to take any chances with his recovery.

Reading Faust's two posts, it raises an eyebrow that in nearly 3 months the projected recovery date changed from training camp to week 1.

An October injury, I expected something more, something different. Not sure how to word that

 
Rotoworld:

ESPN Rams reporter Nick Wagoner expects Brian Quick (shoulder surgery) to miss the team's entire offseason program, and considers him questionable for training camp.

Per Wagoner, the team "privately hopes" Quick will be ready for camp. As previously reported, coach Jeff Fisher hedged on the question Wednesday. "It was a very, very difficult early rehab process," Fisher said. "It was an extensive, extensive injury. He's starting to see the light now." It sounds like the team's ultimate goal for Quick is Week 1, meaning he could begin camp on the active/PUP list, and miss some preseason action.

Rotoworld:

ESPN Rams reporter Nick Wagoner believes Brian Quick (shoulder surgery) has a "realistic" chance to be ready by Week 1.

The Rams haven't committed to a timetable for Quick's return, but there haven't been any known setbacks. Coach Jeff Fisher said before last month's draft that Quick is "progressing quickly," though he hasn't participated in post-draft practices. Quick saw nine targets in three of St. Louis' first four games last season, before quarterback woes and his significant shoulder injury curtailed what might have been a true breakout year.

Rotoworld:

Brian Quick (shoulder surgery) is running routes "against air" at Rams OTAs.

The good news is he's doing anything at all. Coming off a severe shoulder operation, Quick will be in a race to be ready for training camp, though he is considered likely to be ready for Week 1. Quick is the favorite to serve as St. Louis' No. 1 receiver this season, ahead of Kenny Britt.

Brian Quick - WR - Rams

ESPN Rams reporter Nick Wagoner believes WR Brian Quick (shoulder surgery) has a "good shot" to be ready Week 1.

Quick has progressed well after suffering a severe shoulder injury late last October. Quick participated in individual drills during the offseason program, and could be bumped up to team drills early in training camp. If healthy, Quick should be the Rams No. 1 receiver.

If in fact Quick is the team's #1. Bowe and Baldwin are other potential #1 you can grab late. All project as 1s on run-heavy teams, but do you really expect #1 numbers from Quick, Bowe or Baldwin?

Kenny Britt is the "WR1" on the Lambs, for whatever that is worth.
Click to expand...
I have seen Britt listed as WR1, and I have seen Quick listed as WR1. A healthy Quick is arguably the number 1, but I'm not sure that distinction really makes a considerable difference. Quick, Britt, Bailey, Austin, Givens, Cook and Kendricks will all split a potentially conservative share of stats such that perhaps none of them makes much more than a reserve for your fantasy squads.

If I were to roster a St. Louis receiver, it would be Quick, however.

Quick flashed a glimpse of his potential early last season, but he slowed considerably before a shoulder injury cut short his season. Reports are that Quick is making good progress in his recovery and could be ready to start the season, but a November surgery to repair his rotator cuff and three torn ligaments in his shoulder will at minimum cause Quick to miss some important camp and preseason reps. Some have Quick as a breakout candidate this season based on his 2014 early season success.

Foles is an upgrade at QB over the gauntlet of QBs the Rams shuffled in and out last season, but Quick will miss some crucial chemistry-building reps with Foles prior to the season as he continues his recovery.

I'd be very comfortable with Quick or Bowe as my WR4 on a team. Like I said you're not going to find a teams #1 later in a draft, and even though they are run heavy teams, you have to expect 6+ targets to each per game

I agree. That seems about right: WR4, with the potential to be even more. I think, given they are being drafted more in the WR5-6 range, there is value to be had.

Brian Quick - WR - Rams

Brian Quick (shoulder surgery) avoided active/PUP to open Rams camp.

It's a positive development after an extensive shoulder operation to repair an injury that ended Quick's would've-been-breakout 2014 campaign. Quick and Kenny Britt should line up as St. Louis' Opening Day starters at wideout, with Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin mixing in for sub-packages. Still only 25 years old, Quick offers upside at his double-digit round ADP.

Rotoworld:

The Rams feared Brian Quick's shoulder injury was "career threatening" when he went down in Week 8 of last season.

Quick dislocated the shoulder and tore his rotator cuff. "It’s remarkable what he’s overcome," coach Jeff Fisher said. "The damage he sustained to his shoulder was significant and there was some talk early on that it might’ve been career-threatening and that he might not be able to come back." Quick has come back, even avoiding the active/PUP list to open training camp. He's penned in as the Rams' starting wideout opposite Kenny Britt.

Rotoworld:

Rams coach Jeff Fisher said Tuesday he fully expects Brian Quick to play in preseason games.

Fisher made it clear Quick isn't quite 100-percent recovered from his major shoulder operation, but he will be there soon. Quick is participating in team drills at training camp. "We’re protecting him," said Fisher. "But I would expect him to play in preseason games and go out and be productive. It’s really good to have him back. He was off to a great start last year."

I like Quick and think he is very talented, but there's too many options for the Rams. Quick, Tavon Austin, Bailey, Britt and TE's Cook and Kendricks. All are very good receivers. Plus, they are going to run the ball with Mason and soon to be healthy Gurley. I just don't like any of the Rams receivers very much. They will spread it around way too much. Cook could be a decent option for a TE as a BYE week replacement.

 
Rotoworld:

Although Brian Quick is not listed as a starter on the Rams' initial preseason depth chart, ESPN Rams reporter Nick Wagoner expects Quick to open the season starting opposite Kenny Britt.

As do we. Wagoner suspects Quick was left out of the starting lineup (in favor of Tavon Austin, ugh) on the initial depth chart because of his recovery from offseason shoulder surgery. We found it more notable that the Rams listed three receivers as starters on the depth chart, which might hint at the team using three receivers as a base formation. This would get Britt, Quick, and ideally Stedman Bailey (not Austin) on the field together.
