Can Dwayne Bowe continue being a bonafide #1 WR this season? (1 Viewer)

He seems as if he is replicating his numbers from this year. Many avoided him this year because of his streakiness, Loss of Charlie Weiss, and an incredible tough schedule this year.

Since the loss of Charles they are throwing the ball much more, not to mention, tons of garbage time.

So can Bowe hang with studs like Calvin, Jennings, Andre, Wallace, Jackson, & White?

Why not? Cassel is playing much better of late and the Chiefs seem to have found a running game to complement their passing game.

I'm not saying he can't be a #1 but saying the Chiefs found a running game because they ran well against the Colts is a little bit of a stretch.
 
If i had to rank my top for the rest of the way i would put Bowe right at 10: Non PPR

1.) Megatron

2.) Wes Welker

3.) Andre Johnson

4.) Mike Wallace

5.) Greg Jennings

6.) Larry Fitz

7.) Miles Austin

8.) Hakeem Nicks

9.) Vincent Jackson

10.) Dwayne Bowe

Honnorable Mentions: Smith (Easily can be in the top 10), White (Easily can be in the top 10), A.J Green, Marques Colston, Dez

Last season he went on a TD tear which is impossible to predict. However, this year he is getting yards and is averaging a great YPC. I don't see why he cannot maintain the level he is playing at right now. certainly not two TDs each week but he can finish top 10 easily.

 
I can't buy it. Just so super obvious that he gets shut down completely when teams with good pass defenses take notice of him. Last year he had Charles and played the worst collective pass defense I have ever seen. This year he has played some pretty bad pass D's.

His "luck of the draw" may continue, but I don't want any part of it.

I suggest people judge him by games against guys like Champ bailey; not games against guys like jacob lacy.

For the life of me I can not figure out why opponents don't look at the Chiefs and just completey set their mind to eliminate Bowe. I don't know how that team can threaten opponents in any other way.

Just looked at his schedule and I would say:

Oakland-Average week

chargers-average to good

Dolphins-Probably best week rest of the year

Broncos-Will be non-existant (Bailey will remove him completely)

Patriots-Bad week (The Pats are a smart team..they knew to eliminate gates...will do the same to Bowe).

Steelers=Average to good (probably garbage time salvages his day).

Bears-Good

Jets-(aka bye week)see ya next week

Packers-bad week

Raiders-Same as before

Broncos-Same as before

So your FF playoffs with Bowe include a date on revis island, the Raiders, and the Packer's Charles woodson.

Bowe can beat man coverage. The question is will the Chiefs running game command enough respect from the safeties?

Yeah, his schedule is tougher...but a lot of this is pure speculation on your part. Don't see how Belichick scheming to take out a hobbling Antonio Gates in week 2 has anything to do with eliminating Bowe several weeks from now. Why wouldn't 'garbage time' apply in his matchup against the Packers?The way I see it the Chiefs don't really have anywhere else to go in the passing game and they'll force feed him targets if they have to.

What some call pure speculation, others call memory. Granted, every game is its own new scenario but my memory recalls various games over the years and last year and I remember Bowe feasting on bad teams and Bowe playing really well against a Bailey-less Denver team and a Asumgha-less raiders team. But then when he played against Bailey, he was literarly shut out..and against teams with good secondaries like the Bills, Chargers, and Rams last year, he did little. You really don't make the correlation to the Patriots game? You really don't think Belichick looks this team over and says "if there is one thing our team must do, its take away Bowe"? I guess I just think that Belicihick is one of the best coaches in the NFL.The Packers have woodson and Shields and Tramon and a whole host of coverage guys that can make life miserable for a team's #1.Not really here to argue or restate a point; just looked at the question and I feel pretty danged confident that, as a whole, I'm ok to look elsewhere. Week 14 and 15 is enough for me by itself, given other options.

Put Dez Bryant as the #1 overall WR out of all NFL WRs......for the first half of games, that is.

Could change if Romo starts throwing to his own teammates in the second half. And I'd have Steve Johnson on that list.

 
Does everyone realize that in Bowe's last 16 games he's had 86 catches for 1,430 yards receiving and 18 touchdowns. No, it's not a long track record (he had a fairly pedestrian stretch before those 16 games), but that's top overall WR type numbers. Calvin, during his last 16 games, has had 89 catches for 1,393 yards and 17 touchdowns. Almost identical numbers, and actually favoring Bowe just slightly.

Now, I'm not saying that Bowe is as good as Calvin, but he's been fairly close during their careers (four full seasons for both, with each being the better fantasy WR twice). After Calvin and Welker, I think Bowe has to at least be in the discussion for next best fantasy WR. He certainly has as much of, or more of, a track record than a few guys being listed above him (Austin, Jackson, Nicks, Wallace).

Really wow didn't realize this. :football:
 
What would make someone think that Bowe won't be a WR1? If he continues the pace he is on... even if he slows down a little bit.

He's on pace for 1344yds and 13 TDs... if that isn't WR1 pace I'm not sure what exactly would be defined as WR1 pace. Also it seems like KC is finally starting to click a little bit. If Battle can even put up a remotely decent running game that probably raises Bowe's value slightly. I wouldn't be shocked if he ends the season in the Top 5. Would probably be willing to bet money on him landing in the Top 10 though by seasons end.

 
Just so everyone knows, Champ Bailey was healthy and he played in the game when Bowe had 2 TDs and a ton of yards last season. Of course, Bailey also shut him down the 2nd time they met, but it's not as if Bowe has no chance against Bailey.
