Brandon Gibson(St. Louis), Brian Robiskie(Cleveland), Roy Williams(Chicago).

All three of these WR's are suppose to be the number one receiver on their respective teams. None of them were drafted in my FF league. Yet, on the St. Louis roster, Sims-Walker and Amendola were taken. Off Chicago, Hester and Knox were taken. Cleveland barely had anyone on the entire team taken haha. My question is, if the team would entrust a number one receiver label for each of these guys... wouldn't their be a fair chance atleast one of these guys will have a pretty decent year? Of course, I don't believe that guy is gator hands Williams but maybe one of the other two?

If you're truly curious I think your best bet is the FFA.

Every bit of news in the past few days has hinted Knox will re-pass Roy Williams by the end of preseason.

Gibson is a good flier. But MSW will outscore him in standard as long as he is healthy, and Amendola will in PPR.

Only Cleveland receiver I'd be interested in redarft leagues is Evan Moore in a 2TE league. Maybe Jordan Norwood in PPR.

Roy Williams seems like the only one even close to be considered the number one for his team. Robiskie / Gibson haven't had any such press that I've seen. The best news on Robiskie has been Pat Shumur calling him "steady," which isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.

None of them are making my roster until they prove they have any value. Maybe Roy, since he's at least being treated like he is the number 1 guy. Give me Knox / Moore / Amendola from those teams instead and I'll be much more excited.

All reports from Chicago are that Roy Williams is a total knucklehead (shocker, I know) and will be passed up on the depth chart sooner than later. Being Jerry Angelo as stubborn as he is, they will give Roy a few more opportunities I would guess. But if he keeps looking as bad as he did in the week 2 preseason game, I wouldnt be surprised to see him cut.

The #1 label doesn't mean much in each of those situations. You're basically looking at a placeholder situation in each case. The guy you name is just keeping the seat warm for the other guys you mentioned that got drafted ahead of them...at least that's what people are thinking.Both Robiskie and Gibson have more talented guys behind them who are new to the team and will take some time to learn the system. People expect them to be passed at some point early in the season.

Roy is just a bum and is going to get passed by a younger, maybe less talented guy who isn't a bum and cares enough to work at his craft.

Also, the designation of #1 isn't always reliable anyway. What does it mean? That in 1 WR formations this guy is on the field? That he's going to get the majority of his team's targets on the year? He's going to have the most yards from among the WR's? He's over 6'0" and plays flanker or split end? That he can compete for jump balls?

People will tell you that Welker isn't a true #1. I don't care. It's a distinction of little merit. If he's going to be the most productive WR on his team, from a stats perspective, then he's the guy I'm drafting. I couldn't give a damn about what label he's carrying.

Robiskie may be listed as #1 right now, but both Little and Massaquoi are going to blow right by him very quickly.

why does he stink and "every" draft guru was quite wrong on him?Massaqoui has shown something. On the Browns, it's been more than others. I'm not sure if he played elsewhere, where he'd be. He has had a few especially good games, I mean the ordinary ones. I don't know if he can step up. It seems many don't think so, just don't think he's got "it." If anyone, Mass should be ready to break out this year. Personally, I've been blaming bad coaching and QB play on plenty. McCoy is different. He hits em' and I am from the old school where a WR should catch anything close enough. Every single one of the Browns WRs should conceivably be able to catch the ball reasonably well in a sandlot. What is the problem there? It's painful to watch.I felt the need to compliment the Rams coaching and Bradford's touch (bad WRs rookie QB) watching them last year. I'll give ya that I have blacked out a lot of good plays probably, but I'd swear I can list a dozen where the ball hit em' in the chest and they dropped it. McCoy flat out can't do better than that. If Delhomme threw it into one guy's chest, we'd like to jump on him from the way his time with Carolina ended, but that wouldn't be his fault either. I think the QBs throw these nice passes and expect them to snag the ball and pull it in only to later in the game fire it right at their chest hoping they trap it in there. High school WRs look better than the Browns and that's just not right. What is the deal with them?
