David Boston (1 Viewer)

[richn]

I took a shot with him late as my last WR, any insight if this guy will emerge?? Or is he finished???Will we ever see the dominating Boston again????

 

[BustedKnuckles]

I also took him w/my last pick and just dropped him for R.Curry.....he may do something but i would rather take another guy than wait and see what happens.

If he's the D Boston of old, as he was looking like in practice, before his fake DUI, he could emerge as the man with that WR corps.

Maurice Stovall is the man opposite Galloway. Stovall could be a nice sleeper.Boston is 73 years old at this point. That DUI may have been ended his chances this year.

He's not even 30.

 

[Rushmore]

Some of the hype has died down, but I'm still on board until I see how they use him week 1 (or if we receive bad news from the final test results from the legal end of things).

Also, he didn't get a DUI. He was arrested -- not convicted, and all the breath/urine test results so far have been clean.

Posts like this provides further evidence that the quality of this board is getting diluted more and more each year. Don't be a tool. The original poster is asking a legit question and deserves more than just a .

I think you know the answer to your question before you even asked it. We don't know. Boston started a couple of the pre-season games and has shown flashes. Gruden stated we was pleasantly surprised about how Boston performed in camp. He said he looked like the Boston that dominated early in his career.I've seen nothing come across the news wires that would indicate that Boston has lost his starting spot to Stovall in the line-up. So, it comes down to speculation at this point. He if posts great (or even good) stats in Game 1, then you'll have to be high on the waiver list to get him. So, it might be a good idea to claim him off waivers now if you have an extra roster spot to burn.

Do we really need another David Boston thread? There has been more on this board about him than any of the top RBs. Something is very wrong.

 

[Avery]

To answer the topic question, "David Boston, Does he have value????" the answer is yes.

Every player has value depending on the cost of getting him (draft pick or waiver wire) and the length of your bench (who he'd be replacing on your team).

Well, there is more to FF than RBs. How many threads do we need about the top RBs? We pretty much know more or less what to expect out of the top RBs.Particularly for leagues that start 3 WRs, I think Boston is an intruiging topic. While it may be more exciting to devote multiple threads to other late round-waiver wire fliers (yes, fliers) such as the Jones brothers, Boston may have more production than the Jones brothers. At this point, I don't want to have to read through a bunch of old posts if this thread has the latest impressions.He is on many WWs. An earlier poster is correct that if he has a good week 1, he will cost a high WW pick. So, to me, picking him up comes down to whether you have a roster spot to burn. If so, the risk/reward ratio seems pretty good to me. I can't remember when Boston was subpar when he was healthy (please correct me on this if I'm wrong). But is the guy capable of staying healthy?

Players like this...under the radar, seemingly unimportant to some...help determine whether we win or lose. Studs win championships, especially RBs, but they can't do it by themselves. Players like this...if you can hit on them, definitely help.

Would you rather have Jacoby Jones or Boston on your roster right now?

Now THIS is borderline AC Forum material here. If you're looking at either of these guys as your WR4 or greater (as you should be) then you need to look at your scoring system. In leagues where you earn points for return yardage, then jones might be worth holding onto at this point. Personally, I believe Boston has signficiantly greater upside (800/5) if he is in fact healthy this year. In a case where my other WRs were solid and I wasn't feeling like I'd need to rely on him..... I'd gamble on Boston a little more right now. Particularly given that Jones might well still hang around on your wire in most shallower leagues anyway.

Yeah, you're right, I guess not hearing anything since his arrest (blew 0.0 on breathalyzer, nothing in urine) made me a little weary. I think he could emerge as a huge sleeper, he's on my bench with my fingers crossed.

It's probably because you're sick and tired of his ups and downs.

Maurice Stovall is the man opposite Galloway. Stovall could be a nice sleeper.

Nope. Gruden has said there will be a committee across from Galloway.link

Gruden said he still has not decided on a starting flanker, a job shared by Maurice Stovall, David Boston and Michael Clayton. Same goes for the backup QB job.

Boston is 73 years old at this point. That DUI may have been ended his chances this year.

Not even thirty. The DUI didn't affect him from making the roster. In fact, he's made it past last seaosn where he was the firswt player waived from the final roster to make room for adding other team's roster cuts. He's made the team.Congratulations - two points stated, two points wrong.

Hmmm... I didn't take it that way at all...However, typos aside, it is pretty pathetic that a large percentage of posters can't write grammatically correct English.

ummm.....huh?Correcting what? He highlighted "weary" as the reference of his response. Basically just suggesting that he might be weary because Boston has been down this road before as a value teaser.

I just got corrected earlier today for the exact same use of that word only i meant wary ...same as the poster above........whatever guys , lets drop it , peace.

 

[Big Score]

Once Boston's pee came back clean of the 10 drugs they commonly test for, didn't the cops send his blood off to be tested by a Mass Spectrometer capable of screening for 1,000's upon 1,000's of drugs, down to levels of .00001 microns?

Also I've heard they've decided to go even deeper & look into his DNA where they can examine anything & everything that he's ingested over the course of his entire life.

Surely they'll find some microscopic speck of illicit drugs in his system from sometime in his life.

Then they'll be able to say "Ah Ha! Told you so. He was having flash backs to the MJ he got as second hand smoke while in High School." & arrest him.

DNA won't tell you what he's eaten for the past 29 years, but it WILL confirm that he does NOT have purple eyes.

Maurice Stovall-WR- Buccaneers Sep. 5 - 12:03 am et

Maurice Stovall is listed as the Buccaneers' starting flanker on their most updated depth chart.

The depth chart is so up to date that even Jeremiah Trotter, whose signing the team announced Tuesday, is on it. The Bucs will use a committee at flanker to start the season, but Stovall is the favorite to see the most snaps.
