I believe his value will be directly tied to the individual league scoring system. If he does show up as a WR and If your league rewards PR and KR on an individual basis, that could get get Hester into your # 3WR on spot duty. Wes Welker was definitely a great fill-in at #3 last year in these types of leagues. I do agree with the sentiment that the Chicago WR's are sub-par so I guess I am just waiting to see how training camp shakes out before I make a determination for his value.In Dynasty, I would sell high if you could unless you are forced to designate a KR/PR. At that point I would think Hester is worth every penny to fill a KR/PR position.Mr. Chumley said:
the problem is, he's not a wr.Kick returns does not equal pass catching/route running, etc. Many have tried this, most have failed, Dante Hall, Deion Sanders, etc.
Hes not really anything, its hard to label a position on a player like this... all I'm saying is that the Bears should give this a chance. Sounds like hes doing very well at it in Camp, lets see what happens in pre-season before we dismiss this.
Not even close. Northcutt has much more value.
I don't see any decline in Muhsin Muhammad. Another 60 plus catches for over 800 yards, typical Muhsin year (not counting his ridiculous 2004 season). People who think he is heading to the bench are mistaken. His run blocking will keep him in the lineup until he has a REAL decline in production. He hasn't had one yet.
Fair enough. I wasn't trying to imply Mush was bench fodder this season, but @ almost 35 yrs. old - he probably doesn't have much left. Especially dynasty wise, which is where I was going. I guess my point was that the CHI WRs are not extraordinary (unfortunately neither is their QB) - which *could* potentially create opportunities for someone like DH. IF they put him on the field as more than a decoy and actually put the ball in his hands to see what he could do. I'm not trying to sell that DH is going to be a dependable WR option in 07, but as a project/experiment and dynasty flier - there are a lot of end of draft 'deep sleepers' with less potential upside. The guy is a playmaker when he has the ball and some space to operate. I can understand why Lovie would attempt to get him more involved.
Where did you see that about his lacking the mental makeup? The stories I've seen says he got by on his athletic ability without spending much time learning the finer points of the position (offense or defense) so he never really tried. Everything out of camp suggests he's a quick study, so I'd be interested to see something like you've mentioned.I guess that's the long version of saying, "link, please?"
Sounds like your describing Dante Hall circa 2003. He finished with 40/423/1 plus another 73 rushing. Not someone you'd want to have in your weekly lineup unless you get kick/punt return points.
