Danario Alexander - #91 WR for rest of season? (1 Viewer)

[toppshelff]

In Dodds (I think its his rating) top 250 for the rest of the season, Danario is down at WR 91. Am I missing something?

 

[Time Kibitzer]

He's a ticking injury timebomb.

 

[LittlePhatty]

Projections/rankings don't mean much anyway. Go with your gut.

 

[captbly]

i would never start him

 

[Horses Mouth]

knee will swell. been down this road last year.

You think it should be higher based on what? One (3 catch) monster game? Last year he had three games with at least 4 catches and 72 yards., In the next game, he went 1-6, 2-20, and 3-14.The word today:

Danario Alexander to see more snaps -- Tue Sep 20 6:10 pm --

Alexander will see more action going forward

Coach Steve Spagnuolo said WR Danario Alexander's workload will increase this week though team has to be cautious with him because of knee. (St. Louis Rams on Twitter)

Encouraging, to be sure. Five knee surgeries is enough to give you pause.Personally, I would never roster him because I'd never plug him in. If you think you have the magic formula to figure out if THIS WEEK is the one he goes 3-122-1 or 3-14-0, more power to ya.

Was down this road with him last year. Killed my team twice when I lost by a few points . Danario gave me zero and the guy i sat would have got enough to get me the win. He played less then 1/3 of the snaps Monday night and even a uptick to 1/3 is not enough . And after every game he cant practice due to knee swelling. He tempts you with his size . Its hard to resist. but best let someone who has a deep bench take him and try to guess the games he gets more then 1 catch in if he even sees the field. Many games last year he was active and didnt even get in the game or had t get out due to knee issues. Decent reward/ Super high risk.

This is really pretty simple. As good as DX looks, his knee is basically toast. Yeah, he can dominate in spurts, & that's the reason they keep him as their WR4, but his knee could go at any time.

Trainers have said it'll never get better. They're trying to keep what they have, but it will eventually deteriorate to where he can't play. It's the reason he wasn't drafted & was signed as a longshot by the Rams. DX has played more than doctors thought he would, but it's only a matter of time. Maybe DX can keep playing in a reserve role for quite awhile, not sure. I hope so, but it's very doubtful.

It's a shame because Bradford/Alexander could've been one of the best hookups of all time. Bradford will eventually get the WRs he needs to be a dominant FF QB, but it's not going to be DX.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

So he's like a 23 year old Roy Hobbs of football?

How did he get the DX nickname? Is his middle name Xavier by chance?

The rankings are very conservative. Each time a player does good they move up the chart a little ways. You have to do your own forecasting to determine where they actually might rank if they continue to perform at what you believe is their current performance level.

Yeah, but those aren't abbreviations for cool wrestling stables from the 90's like DX is.

Nicknames are terrible these days. (Generally just initials, etc) They are probably a reflection of an increasingly uncreative fan base, used to being spoon-fed their entertainment.

It took a player to name "Megatron"... one of the better nicknames I've heard. That and "Law Firm".

His family said he could run All Day and it stuck.Also the X is about having the X factor that allowed him to break every receiving record at Missouri, not the Simon Cowell show.

Rams OC Josh McDaniels backed coach Steve Spagnuolo's statement that Danario Alexander has earned more playing time going forward."Danario had a great game and he's had a good week in practice," McDaniels said. "He's earned the right to be out there more certainly. We're excited about what he can do." Spags and Alexander both acknowledge that the surgically repaired knee has to be "managed" and that he may never be a full-time player. "We try to only give him a certain amount of snaps during the week," Spagnuolo said. "I think you need to do right by your players, too."
