Donald Driver' stock falling (1 Viewer)

At this point in his career, Driver = Bruce of the past few years. If you grab him as WR 25+, you will have a solid WR that produces 60+ receptions, 1000 yards and maybe 4-6 TDs. I think he will be a security blanket for Rodgers and would not be surprised at all if he ends up with 80+ receptions next year.

I was offerred Driver for Jones in a dynasty league by a team in my division. I pondered it for a couple days and decided to stick with Jones. The difficulty for me is that I see my team as potentially championship caliber right now with a couple weaknesses to fix this offseason (QB and WR depth). This team was the highest scoring two years ago and the top seed last year, but hasn't gone over the hump, so I'm a candidate to take a producing veteran over youthful potential but just couldn't in this case. I hope I don't regret it.

I can see Drivers numbers going up from last year, to more like his other years. He is still getting more targets than Jennings in general and the red zone, just did not convert more this past year. Rodgers does not seem to be the long ball gunslinger that Favre was, meaning he should be throwing more shorter passes to move the chains. Driver also appears to still be in great shape and still playing at a high level.

Good information from H.K and Scrumptrulescent from other posts:

The last five games Driver and Jennings played in the regular season, Driver had 42 (8.4 pg) targets to Jennings' 29 (5.8 pg).

2007 targets per game:

Driver 8.1

Jennings 6.5

Jones 5.0

2007 Red zone targets

Driver 17 for 2 TD's

Jones 11 for 0 TD's

Jennings 11 for 6 TD's
