Since I'm talking about him in another thread - see, Legedu Naane. He may see more targets early, but if he doesn't do much with them and the team is doing badly he'll yield PT to youth as the season goes on.If the point of this thread is to just pick on the 37 rec projection, I won't disagree with that, I think it's a little light. But even if the 37 is changed to 60 you still don't want him on your team. I think that's a more important takeaway.
Maybe the FBG staff thinks Amendola is easily replaceable. The guy caught a lot of balls one year - he didn't do much with those catches. The Rams have other guys that can get open and catch the ball. If those guys can do more once the ball is in their hands wouldn't it be better for the team to throw it to them?
Sorry, I guess I thought you saying it's going to be a loooong season for the Rams was referring to the Rams are going to suck again.
No worries - I actually think the Rams could be very competitive. I just think there should be far better options that Amendola in the passing game and hopefully he won't be their #1 target, as (IMO) his upside is very limited.
Granted, Amendola doesn't have DJax' speed and big play potential from the slot, but Amendola is highly underrated. He is always open, quick as lightening, great hands and always makes plays. He just won't beat you long. Finnagan is having a hell of a time covering him. Finny said he can't how quick Amendola is. If Amandola and Welker traded places, I think you would be surprised how close they are.'finito said:
He's a good role player, I haven't seen many disagree with that. 5/40 and 6/50 has value in the NFL...just not in our game. That's my issue with Amendola, it'll take a perfect situation for him to be valuable. The league is littered with 'poor man Welkers' and most of those guys don't have much fantasy value. Welker's different than those guys because of what he does after the catch.
I think it is likely he gets well more than 37 receptions. I am a Rams fan, I like the guy as a blue collar reliable slot receiver... But even if he gets 85 receptions, he offers very little upside for fantasy. He was WR30 in PPR when he had 85 catches in 2010, WR46 in standard scoring. That isn't a lot of upside.'[icon] said:
I think you are seriously under-rating Welker.

Agreed... if you're talking about 10 team leagues. I've got a 16 teamer where we play two WR's and a flex, and a 12 team where we start 2RB, 2WR, and 2 Flex. At that point he starts coming into play (deeper leagues). Was just surprised by the low number overall is all.
Thanks, HUCKS
15 receptions 
Bold prediction.
OUT ON A LIMB!!!
HAHAHA...15 rec/160yds/1td day might be the ceiling for 90% of the league. We're not talking 6 recpetion for 200 yards, meaning someone caught a 90 yd td in one play. This guy was targeted early and often, goal line td, 3rd and long, 1st and 10, etc...Amendola was targeted 9 times vs DET the week before (5 rec/70 yds). I'd say this guy is ppr gold and if he can stay healthy, will be a top 15 WR in pts (ppr). I'm guessing Larry Fitzgerald owners would be willing to trade for him today.
This one certainly wishes he'd started Amendola over Fitz :(
thats right
swiiiiiiiiiiiing-and-a-missJust glad I was able to move on from Smith for Hawkins while everyone else was running after Ogletree
yes, arm in sling
Damn... He has been looking so good lately, hope it isn't too serious
Great.....
Agreed - I don't get to see him play much, but it's hard not to root for this guy. Plays hard and unfortunately has cost him a few injuries the past few years.It's clear how much the team needs him, too, as the passing game was considerably out of sync when he left.Hopefully just a handful of weeks he'll miss.'CrazyFox said:
That would be awesome. He's worth holding onto if that's true and a you can work around it.
