Buffalo wrs-who has the most value (1 Viewer)

The passing game has emerged in Buffalo for several reasons. Evans is probably the more talented wr and has a track record. Johnson has turned into a td machine.

Fitzpatrick says that Johnson is the best redzone WR he has ever thrown to... But as a Buffalo homer, I'd rather have Evans, he is most definitely the more talented WR, and anytime the Bills see press coverage w/ no safety help over the top, they audible to a go pattern to Evans

Steve Johnson, dude gets in the endzone every week!

I'll take Lee Evans as the vet on the team. He should be able to produce now that Fitz and Gailey are getting their game together. On top of that Johnson is a legit threat on the other side.

I grabbed Johnson when he was first getting hot. Lee Evans has always been inconsistent. I am afraid he will remain that way while Johnson has been pretty consistent since Fitz took over. I did put in a claim for Evans this week but didn't get him.

 

[pantherclub]

Is there any legit concern that the passing game will cool off once its starts getting cold in Buffalo? I honestly cannot recall prior history of any other Buff wr's.

thanks

I am thinking Evans as well. I read on another site that he has never finished outside the top 36 wr's since he came into the league. That's pretty impressive looking at the teams he has been on. I do wonder how good of a deep ball Fitz throws but I don't know how much you can rely on the td's from Johnson. Is he really going to score over 12 this year?

 

[zamboni]

I like Johnson a bit more despite Evans being the veteran #1 guy. Evans tends to be more dependent on down the field/big plays, while Johnson seems to do more of the damage underneath and in the red zone.

Evans may get more of the yardage, but I think Johnson will get more receptions/TDs.

 

[LOCO]

I think Evans is more talented, so give me Evans.

 

[az_prof]

I wouldn't trade Evans for Johnson, but I can understand why some people like Johnson better. It's a toss up really.

 

[NatronIsMean]

Had the choice for either guy and went with Johnson. My reasoning is:

- Johnson is the taller option (6'2 vs 5'10) who seems to be the red zone guy.

- Johnson will face the weaker corner

- Johnson has been more consistent

- Fitzgerald doesn't have a Mike Vick-like arm, so I'll opt for the guy that will get more short/mid range targets

- Finally, It's just soooo hard to forget the past pain caused by Lee Evans. This is irrational, but a legitimate factor for me

Since Fitz started in week 3:

Fitzpatrick seems to spread the ball around well like he's supposed to. The stats seem to be balanced regardless of the situation so I can't seem to find any trending at the moment. I'm not sure where the coverage is on these games but I'm guessing Lee Evans draws most of the coverage and that Johnson's big games should lighten that load. Lee Evans looks like he has more upside right now because of his talent and possibly less coverage in the future. However, it's hard to say as Johnson had his first 100 yard game last week and he may actually be more talented than we perceive him to be at this point. Probably more of a red zone threat but this is really looking like 1A/1B. It would be nice to know who he seems to look at first in games though but I haven't really watched any Buffalo games.

This week will be interesting. Because the chiefs don't move Flowers arround. I feel like Car will be beat deep by Evans. I gues is that Johnson will be controled all game.

What makes you think Flowers won't be on Evans?

I took a quick look at Eric Moulds' stats from 1998-2005 (when he emerged) and chose him just because he was the last good WR in Buffalo not named Evans in the past 15 years...here is a look at home games from games 13-16 (just guessing that is the coldest point). Obviously it does nt account for snowstorms or unseasonably warm weather, but here it is:1998:6-644-1071999:3-558-1102000:2-312-262001:6-502002:5-619-75-12003:2-113-202004:3-384-372005:9-110Not sure what this tells us except that he only caught one TD during those 13 games. He did have three 100 yard games and in PPR, the four other games would have netted greater than 11 points. I did "eyeball" the away games during that time and he definitely put up better stats in the away weeks druing that frame. With all that said, it is a comparison of just one player and he only put up more than 7TDs twice in his career.

so what you are saying is completely overlook history?

 

[Sir Chadwick]

History does tend to repeat itself.

With that said, Evans usually turns it on in the second half of the season.

I like him w/ Fitz the rest of the way.

He plays LCB and a little bit of slot. Doesn't trail anyone.
