Why? What's he done to be ranked in the top 10?Dez Bryant not in the top 8? hmmm I sense dishonesty
ThisI agree. Not only is Dez a headcase, but he is yet to have a thousand yard season or prove he is an elite talent. There are still 3-4 guys on this poll I would take over Dez.
Welker isn't getting respect because of his age and Brady's age. He really only has 2-4 year window of being an elite fantasy WR. However I voted for him here because in those 2-4 years I believe Welker will put up numbers comprable to last season, and that may win you some championships.Why isnt Welker getting respect?
He's also on the worst offense of the group, playing with the worst qb.Went with Marshall because he's the #1 target. Welker has two TE's and Lloyd now. Jennings has Nelson/Finley and others. Dez has Austin/Witten. Cruz has Nicks.
His last 2 years with Cutler in Denver he averaged 103 receptions.I don't think Cutler is that far off base from Romo/Eli.ETA: Being the #1 is a big advantage IMO.He's also on the worst offense of the group, playing with the worst qb.Went with Marshall because he's the #1 target.

you can say he hasn't produced, is a headcase/immature and is injury prone, but to say his not an elite talent is simply not true.ThisI agree.

To assume Marshall is going to duplicate his Denver numbers with cutler is off based in my opinion. Pass heavy offense with shanahan to run based with Lovie smith and tice. I see his numbers staying similar to last year, with a slight uptick overallI also don't think there's a difference between being the only receiving option or having another quality receiver on the team. Both have advantages and disadvantages.His last 2 years with Cutler in Denver he averaged 103 receptions.I don't think Cutler is that far off base from Romo/Eli.ETA: Being the #1 is a big advantage IMO.He's also on the worst offense of the group, playing with the worst qb.Went with Marshall because he's the #1 target.

I never stated he would duplicate those numbers. You stated worst QB. I responded that the worst QB + Marshall have a good rapport.To assume Marshall is going to duplicate his Denver numbers with cutler is off based in my opinion.

Too many dynasty noobs playing for the future. Its not hard to win now and maintain a winner for years to come.Why isnt Welker getting respect?
4 yrs? more like 1 to 2 yr window, the guys takes a ton of hits and will most likely fall off the cliff instead of slow down. I would move him now.Theres a reason they haven't signed him long termWelker isn't getting respect because of his age and Brady's age. He really only has 2-4 year window of being an elite fantasy WR.

I did say 2-4. As in 4 is the absolute highest amount of time he can maintain his fantasy eliteness. I think you would be in the minority if you are speculating he only has one good year left. I'd venture to say most people think he has 2+ years of elite numbers left in him. Other than the knee injury, which he has clearly recovered from, he has stayed pretty healthy.4 yrs? more like 1 to 2 yr window, the guys takes a ton of hits and will most likely fall off the cliff instead of slow down.

Elite talent is incredibly overrated. At this level, lots of guys have elite talent. The difference can be as small as who is in the better situation and who is more mature/willing to spend extra time in the film room, can run a proper route, etc.Dez is no more talented than most of the guys listed. But he's shown himself to be a lot less mature. If everything else is equal, I'm going to go with the guy who seems to have his head screwed on right.'DexterDew said:you can say he hasn't produced, is a headcase/immature and is injury prone, but to say his not an elite talent is simply not true.ThisI agree.

Love the Cowboys and am smitten with Dez's talent, but can't put him above Roddy, Welker, or Jennings yet because he has yet to put it all together. Relying on Dez as a #1 fantasy WR is a high risk, high reward move; one I'll let another owner attempt. IF however, I could get Dez as my WR #2, I would absolutely take a shot.Elite talent is incredibly overrated. At this level, lots of guys have elite talent.

hes going to be 31 when the season starts, 32 is usually when WRs decline plus he takes extra punishment; pretty confident hes only got about 1 to 2 yrs left before we start discussing his end.last yr I put Wes on the trading block and the response I got was pretty bad'Shanahanigans said:I did say 2-4.

Went Britt as well......I think he'll be in most people's top 5 lists by this time next year.Went Kenny Britt.I wouldn't trade him straight up for anyone left on the list.I also wouldn't trade him for the following listed above him:Mike WallaceHakeem NicksAndre JohnsonAnd it's iffy on Julio.
