DJ Hackett- 07 (1 Viewer)

Anybody remember that Engram had a medical condition last season that forced him to miss several games? Was it that long ago? I believe it was something involving his thyroid and that articles were out stating it was permanent and uncurable. Honestly, the guy is a career WR#3 and he has to be considered on the downside of his career at this point. And even with Engram healthy and playing, in my eyes it's almost an impossibility that Hackett is be on the sideline for any great period of time this season. The guy has to be considered a #1b in this offense and possibly #1a once the whistles start blowing.

Burleson sucks and should be considered a bust at this point. Last season they let him play a bit, even had a few designed quick outs and screens that went to him and he wasn't able to do jack with anything. He has trouble catching easy balls. He gets nervous in traffic. He can't get seperation. How was this guy able to catch for 1,000 yards at all is astounding to me. That guy is a major mental breakdown on the part of the front office during "Hutchingson-gate" IMO.

And if Engram is unable to participate at 100%, the flood gates could potentially open for the other Seattle WRs. Hackett is every bit the down field WR as Branch, but he also provides a big target ala Joe Jurevicious in the redzone. Just look at season Joe J put together a couple years ago and now glance over at Branch's career TD totals if you want to get an idea what kind of upside Hackett possesses. Hasselbeck is one of the top QBs in the NFC, and he plays in the weakest division in the NFC. That's gonna be points because someone has to score, and Hackett is in position IMO. Jackson gone. Stevens gone. Engram ailing. Branch is relatively new to the system and so is Burleson. Ironically, Hackett is almost the veteran WR in this situation despite getting very little playing time up until last year. It's surprising to me how low this guy is going in drafts even with his "sleeper list" status. Hackett will end up on a lot of my teams this year.

There where only 3 games where Brach and Hakett started and Hass was QB. And the last 2 Engram came back. Nate is really a non factor he had 3 rec for 17 yards the last 3 games. Hackett was the most productive. Bobby and Branch were about the same. I look for DJ to have the best #'s overall. Matt throws deep to him more than i was expecting. Branch should lead the team in receptions. Matt likes Hackett, he drew his attention more than anyone the last 3 games. Engram will be steady 3-4 rec around 50-60 yards. And Branch will have a few big games but i dont see him being any better than a #3 FF WR. IMO Hackett can be a #2 FF Wr Brach a 3rd and Bobby as a fill in on buys in bye in a PPR. I wouldnt target anyone but Hackett would be the best value. Branch had 1.5 good seasons in NE but he never posted a 1000 yard season or more than 5tds.. IMO he goes to high
