Yup, he's my pick as well.
I wouldn't give up on him just yet, I could see him having a decent year. Johnson is the No. 1 but Evans could have a productive season IMO.'Carl Eller said:
Awesome. I didn't realize you were on our message board Ray.How's prison life?
Uhhh...'FantasyTrader said:
I think the Falcons are about to give up on him too. Weems is a far better returner and Kerry Meier will beat him out for the other receiving job. I got rid of him last month.
Tommy, no worries. I posted "Ray Finkle" up above (the Ace Ventura character). So Ray posted CP. He's just funnin'.
I don't think Boldin is done. I still think he has a good 2011 in him.
Kinda surprised to see this name considering this is a WR entering his 3rd year. I was hoping to see a little more in the 2nd half last year but he's still a hold for this year, to me at least.
Word on him this offseason has not been good.Probably going to look to move him myself. A WR that cant learn a route tree is not a good thing...
Where did you get this info? I'd love to have anything that gets me a better bead on this guy.
"NFL Films guru Greg Cosell believes the Patriots "don't think much of" Brandon Tate at this point in his career. <br><br>"He runs about three routes," says Cosell, "and the only time the ball comes to him is when a play is specifically called for him." The Patriots offense relies on receivers who excel at pre-snap reads and route running, which simply aren't strengths at this stage of Tate's career. The loss of OTAs hurts his chances of a bigger role in 2011."Does this mean that he cant learn? I dont know, but looking back into late last season, the same things keep coming up; "poor routes" and "doesnt look like a natural wideout"...this latest tidbit is enough to tip my scales towards the "sell" side. I think Taylor Price is probably the guy to own.
Can I add Michael Crabtree, Mark Sanchez, and Joe Flacco to the "last chance" list? Then add Donald Brown, Reggie Bush, Johnny Knox, and DHB tot he already "gave up on" list?
You're giving up on a WR that put up 960 yards and 5 TDs, his second season in the league?
I did. He can fly, but is too small to get off press coverage.
People have been showing him more love then he deserves, and he is who I gave up on, you do not have to. Feel free to draft him as often as you like in as many leagues as you like.
You've gotta at least wait another 2 weeks on Ware to see where AB or Jacobs go in FA, if anywhere. There's something there in the right situation. The guy is held hostage just like Grant was. But if they come back, he's probablya safe drop.'loose circuits said:
Maybe I'm just misibterpreting what is meant by "gave up on". I was interpreting it as guys you've carried for a while and finally dropped. It would need to be a very shallow league to drop Knox. I don't have him in any of my three dynasty leagues, but would draft him in a re-draft if the draft value was there.People have been showing him more love then he deserves, and he is who I gave up on, you do not have to.

Jacobs is not a FA and if the Giants did not re-sign Bradshaw they would likely sign one of the other free agent RBs on the market. It doesn't seem that they trust Ware for some reason. Even in their late season blowouts, Ware didn't see the field.
I think its fair enough to start considering redraft again this year, at least I hope, lol. That is what I was speaking of.

I'd give up on Ware, he didn't even get looks during garbage times last season, which is a real concern since Jacobs and Bradshaw have had a history of getting dinged up. Seems odd Ware wouldn't get the reps in garbage time to spare the other two backs and to gain game reps. Ware signed a 2 year deal in Feb. but I don't think he'll make the final cut. His biggest impact was that he lead the team rushing yards during the 2008 preseason, he's done nothing since. Bradshaw saw a lot more touches as the 3rd back behind Jacobs and Ward, than Ware ever sees. I understand the comparison of Ware to Grant, but I think Grant was a rare event. Not every practice squad/3rd sting RB for the Giants is starting caliber. I'd argue the Giants underestimated what they had in Grant. I don't see Ware doing much for the Giants or another team if he's cut.
Why? Can you unpack that one a little please? I'm curious b/c Flacco has been one of the more consistent-performing QBs in the league since his rookie year. Last year he finished QB11. I have a couple of teams where I would *love* to have Flacco as my QB2 who could easily be my starter if my QB1 went down...
He's on my "last chance" list, not the "gave up on" list. I mean he has improved just a bit each year, but he is far from a QB you can depend on, he needs to have more consistant games. Like I said, my "last chance list".
