I kno this is not the Assistant Coach forum, but i was wondering whether his dynasty value was anywhere near that of Taylor Price, Eric Decker, Stephen Williams, etc. These are all dynasty stash options. Does his potential merit an add over any of these guys?

Yes.This guy has boatloads of upside; also a lot of risk.

For who? I see him as more of a lotto ticket than a boom or bust pick.

Isn't a lotto ticket boom or bust by definition.I think you are equating risk with cost.
Click to expand...
Huh? By definition, risk involves potential loss. Picking up Danario Alexander involves no potential loss to anyone. It's the same way that if someone offers you 20 dollars if you can guess a number between 1-50, you're not taking a risk, even if there's a slim chance of you getting it.

The roster spot is the cost, the risk is using the spot and getting no return. But I agree with you that this sounds like a lottery ticket and worth the spot if you can afford it.

My end of bench WR in my keeper league, I've dropped Decker and I just dropped Stephen Williams to pick up Danario. Hoping to give him several weeks to see if he shows anything.
 
Fantastic thread. You guys just convinced me to grab him over all the other Rams wr's (except Amendola, who is rostered).

I'm in a redraft...but I don't eed a 5 point weekly option. Might as well gamble for the home run.

Again, great thread. Good work from his fan base and skeptics.

Seems like a fishing trip to me, but I guess I'll bite. Here's the deal, this is a fantasy football forum. Many guys here delve a bit deeper than "this guy just was moved up from the practice squad." We discuss pedigree, college production, measurables, injury concerns, positional competition, quotes from coaches and teammates, and basically everything under the sun in effort separate ourselves and our fantasy squads from the casual FFer who goes by broad unsubstantiated generalizations. You know, the schmucks who typically arrive 15 minutes after the train has left the station. There's always more to say about a player, and what there is to say may be the piece of information that is helpful for others in this forum not to miss that train. If you don't like that level of discussion or the process to help inform sharks (or maybe hawks), kindly move along. You are like that financial advisor who offers the sage guidance that a penny stock may or may not pan out. Worse yet, you are advising against looking at the financials or speculating on the outlook of a particular penny stock company- arguing they don't matter. People don't come here for that. People here are already aware of your generalizations.

So what you are saying is that you like to speculate. I don't have a problem talking about the things you posted above, but having such an opinion one way or another about this kid before he even gets in full contact drills and even gets on an active roster is very premature. Reading this thread, you are one of the most ardent supporters of Mr. Alexander, so I understand your animosity.

I am neither for nor against the success of Mr. Alexander. He has a long road ahead of him and he is in a great situation. But in this scenario, taking a wait and see approach is the best bet IMO. All I've said is stash him on your dynasty bench. That's it. I'm not going to say that he is going to catch 40 passes with 5 TD's this season. It isn't going to happen. 100% chance that it isn't going to happen. We can have a sig bet on that if you wish. If that is being negative or wishy-washy, then I would argue against that opinion. It isn't. It is just being rationale. It's being grounded. People are saying that he's a top 15-20 WR. Come on. These illusions of Mark Clayton granduer, within the body of Danario Alexander, are delusional.

I'm in a 32 team, 55 man active roster, 5 man PS dynasty league and I drafted him with my last rookie pick back in May. I've had him on my squad well before you. I'm not negative on the kid and I don't need to discuss a coach-speak, rehashed, blurb on rotoworld.com to help me leap to the conclusion that he's a top 20 WR. I wish him luck. I'm being grounded and helping those that may not know who he is to stay grounded as well. All the 'over-the-moon' talk about him in the thread is disturbing and it's easy to grow wings when the unfamiliar fawn over a new I.P.O.

I'm "one of the most ardent supporters"? Based on what? My most supportive post was "He's a great 'grab for free and stash' for dynasty leagues. God knows teams are holding a lot of WRs who never approached Alexander's college production, and are significant NFL longshots. Alexander is better than that, even with knee concerns." So basically we're in agreement, right? "40 passes for 5 TDs" sig bet? What have I said to suggest that's my projection in 2010? "People are saying he's a top 15-20 WR"? Where? Someone is posting roto to help you "leap to a conclusion that he's a top 20 WR"? Strange assumption of someone's intent in posting news. Pretty typical troll response IMHO. High on exaggerations very ow on discussion contribution. But you and I are not far off on his outlook for this year.

Re-watching his Senior highlights at Missouri, he's not a good route runner but he has real good ball skills. When combined with his size, he definitely has potential to be a good FF WR. He displays good strength despite being rail thin; he could do with putting on some weight.

Chances are he's going to get injured eventually, but I wouldn't mind rostering him until that happens.

 
I've long thought Alexander could be a monster in the NFL. It's all about his left knee.

Even if you didn't know much about him, all it takes is watching his highlights to tell he's a legit 1st round talent. Highlights can be misleading, but not in Alexander's case. He's not a totally polished WR, but the kid has the size, speed, hands, athletic ability, & ball skills to be an elite WR. He reminds me a lot of Randy Moss.

I thought somebody would take a chance & draft him. I know one thing...if he does make it back, there's going to be a lot of teams who wish they had taken that chance.

Just added in NFFC over Stephan Williams who let me down in the starting line up 2 weeks in a row despite beating the Chargers for a deep TD that DA almost found me in row 15 with! So with my luck I do not expect much LOL

GO DA2

 
Last thing I think I heard was that he was getting some first team reps in practice and looked good or had good chemistry with Bradford?

Any new news?

 
I think the subscriber software is broken, because I don't see him listed in the top 100 WRs this week. I'm assuming they meant to slot him in around WR25.

 
Hes only a pickup for dynasty leagues, he may not even see the field this year. Would take major injuries for him to play this year.

Danario Alexander - WR - Rams

The Rams don't plan on rushing rookie WR Danario Alexander back onto the field.

The team plans on treating Alexander as a long term, developmental project, which does not bode well for his 2010 fantasy prospects. He's worth a flier in Dynasty leagues, but owners should not have high hopes for this season.

like if their top receiver got knocked out for the year, or something like that.you just quoted and time stamped some guy's opinion, by the way.

This is the article cited from the above rotoworld opinion.http://www.stltoday.com/sports/football/pr...d8f822450d.html

 
LOL at good 'ol roto opining 'he might not see the field this year' and citing an article which says:

Alexander got a good amount of work with the first-team offense this week in practice and looked good running routes and catching the football."I am in the game plan (for San Diego)," Alexander said Friday after practice.

BigJim, are you really still defending Alexander's prospect for this season? So what's the over/under on 2010 receptions? 5? 10?

I posted that link in somewhat of a defense to the rotoworld posting. I read that article earlier this morning and was surprised to see it as the same on that rotoworld used to declare that Alexander has no 2010 fantasy implications. I'm not saying that he does, cause we all know his situation, but their "call" on the article is in direct conflict with what was posted. In this instance it seems stupid, even though they may be right in the long run.He's a flier. End of story, but if you link to an article stating that a player is part of the game plan and getting significant first team reps, acknowledge it at least. Don't just say whatever you want and link to an article stating the opposite. It seems like they only read the first half of it where they were summarizing his situation prior to the season.

Alexander anticipates making his NFL debut with the St. Louis Rams on Sunday after getting plenty of snaps with the first string during the practice week.Advice: The former Missouri star wide receiver was elevated from the practice squad this week to replace Mark Clayton, who was placed on injured reserve with a torn patella tendon in his right knee. Alexander has persevered through four operations on his left knee. On Friday he's close to 100 percent, and added that the knee feels better than during his prolific senior season at Missouri when he caught 113 passes, led the nation with 1,781 yards and scored 14 touchdowns.(STATS, Inc.)

Danario Alexander, WR, St. Louis Rams Saturday 10/16, 10:31 AM CT

Although the Rams are very bullish about his future, rookie receiver Danario Alexander is very unlikely to be a meaningful contributor in 2010, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View: He continues to work his way back from a number of knee injuries and the complications that have accompanied them, namely the atrophying of the muscles surrounding them. He could be active from time to time this season, but might not make a single catch.

Watch him get all of 5 snaps/0 targets tomorrow.Hope I'm wrong, but I don't see him getting significant work yet.

I wouldn't be surprised to see something like 3/80/3 from him tomorrow.

3 TD's? That wouldn't surprise you? Is that sarcasm?I wouldn't be surprised to see 3 rec... 80 yards.. hmm maybe.. But 3 TD's? lolI think this guy is a nice pickup in dynasty, but his consistent production if ever, probably doesn't come till next season.. Not to say he couldn't do well in 2010, just that it's not likely.. Not because of skill level, or injuries, I think the kid can play, and he has proven he can play at a high level while injured. He only missed 3 games through 4 seasons, with 4 knee surgeries, and put up tremendous stats.. Didn't miss one games last year, and he's supposedly healthier now then he was last season..

LOL at you repeatedly inferring made up positions like you're operating at a 3rd grade reading level. The roto article said ""he might not see the field this year" when the article they cited said "I'm in the game plan (for San Diego)." Don't think I really need to explain the humor here, since roto paraphrasing is nearly cliche. Please, just once feel free to back up an accusation like my "still defending Alexander's prospect for this season." Don't believe I've even once done that.
 
From reading the articles its not even a given he will be active or even play if active. But aint nothing wrong with a speculative add if you got junk to drop.

Coach Steve Spagnuolo if Alexander plays Sunday against the San Diego Chargers, he'll be skipping steps like pre-season experience out of necessity. But the coach said team trainers and physicians were comfortable Alexander's knee was sufficiently healed.

"Danario's done a nice job, he's been hungry for this for a while," Spagnuolo said. "We'll see where we're at on Sunday, who we have up, who we have down. But he's had enough work that if he had to play, I think the coaches feel comfortable he can go in there and know what he's doing."

Whether or not he's playing this week has very little impact on his dynasty value.. The fact it's a consideration is important to note..

FYI: Really don't know what you personally have against the guy, but he's rostered in 4 out of 4 leagues I play in... (4 dynasty leagues) I'd think you'd consider him a nice prospect, with a relatively high ceiling considering the cost, a very low cost at this point..

He's a WW claim, no one was expecting superman #'s out of the guy, and no one was saying trade for him at any cost, and no one was saying drop valuable players to pick him up.. He's a nice speculative pick up..

 
I got nothing against him ( not sure why you would even say that , Just becasue someone post news that goes against what you think its not my personal opinion, just news posting) and I even said it dont cost anything to roster him as a speculative play and hes worth a roster spot in a dynasty league absolutley. I would even say he absolutley belongs on Dynasty rosters. hes got little value in a redraft for this year. But its a lottery ticket and if you got junk on your roster shoot why not.
