Greg Jennings Game Log (1 Viewer)

LHUCKS never makes any claims that data supports. He just make claims based on his gut feelings and claims they are facts. The problem is he posts them for everyone to see and the reader can see his claims have no data to back it up and they feel the need to refute or question his theories, then he just eggs them on. This is typical LHUCKSHTIK.

Bingo.
 
While I agree that his numbers will take a hit he's not overrated from an NFL standpoint. From a fantasy standpoint he's slightly overrated (probably should go in the 8 to 12 range) not quite top 5 but even with Finley healthly he's still a 1000 yard 8 TD WR.
I admit to taking him a little high at WR6, but he's one of the safest bets among the that tier to put up WR1 numbers. Maybe Wayne is safer.

Threads like this are pretty useless if you don't specify where you are seeing him rated. Is he overrated as WR4? Or overrated as WR10?
Point taken. I have him ranked about #13, everybody else seems to have him from #4(two CBS writers) until about #8(his ADP in recent drafts appears to be around #7)Guy is clearly overrated.
Who uses cbs?Actually, that explains some of your other posts

The gamelog is extraordinarily confusing...eventually it will make sense for you fellas. Keep trying. :thumbup:

From my point of view, it's not that Jennings is overrated. Its the fact that past the top 4 WRs (AJ, Calvin, Roddy, Nicks) what you have is a glut of receivers that all have pretty good question marks. Any of them could produce in the top 5, but none of them are safe enough to go ahead and put them up there.

So: (in whichever order you prefer)

AJ-

Calvin-

Roddy-

Nicks-

-------------

Jennings- possibly hurt by Finley. Really was more hurt by poor offensive line play (Rodgers getting sacked 50 times), which handicapped Rodgers' ability to let downfield routes develop, cutting into Jennings' production in 09. This has been remedied somewhat, as the line played better last year. Finley is just as likely to draw attention away from Jennings deep routes by pulling safeties toward him, since he's a total mismatch for virtually every LB in the league. They're still going to throw the ball more than almost any other team in the league. As acting #1 target for nearly an entire season, he has an established rapport with Rodgers that Finley does not have yet.

--------------------

DeSean Jackson- relies heavily on big plays for his fantasy points. Doesn't catch the number of passes that the big 4 do, or even Jennings for that matter. Is a marginal injury risk because of his size. Maclin continues to emerge as a 1a in Phil.

Mike Wallace- The new #1 in Pit, is a Jennings-like player with great speed and downfield ability. Can take any post to the house. Still didn't catch a large volume of passes, and big plays contributed to his totals.

Vincent Jackson- Will he hold out again? Is he the WR1 in SD, or is Floyd now? Will he be out of SD? Playing with a lesser QB would drop him to the bottom of my top 10.

Larry Fitzgerald- As of right now, there is still no viable QB in AZ. Fitzgerald could feasibly leap back into the top 5 with even adequate QB play, but there's a lot of uncertainty here.

Reggie Wayne-Physically in decline now, and with more weapons than Jennings around him to share targets with, I can't see him getting into the top 5 again, but will be drafted high because of his name.

Miles Austin-Is he or Dez the guy? Can they coexist and put up top 12 WR numbers simultaneously? Witten is still here.

Dwayne Bowe- With Weis' departure and a tougher schedule queued up for this season, it'd be hard to imagine him getting back into the top 5.

So as you can see, it's not a question of declaring Jennings deserving to be the 4th-5th WR off the board definitively. Its more an issue of, with the exception of the AJ, Calvin, Roddy, Nicks, Jennings is as good an option as you're going to have. The other WRs in this tier have just as many, if not more problems/questions surrounding them. This is why he's WR4-WR5.

Good post CEF.I agree about the oline making it challenging for Rodgers to connect with Jennings on deep routes. That needs to be taken into consideration before passing on Jennings due to a 4 game study of when Finley was in the lineup.

:goodposting: Exactly why Jennings is a mid-level WR1 regardless of your belief about Finley's effect on his numbers

Most overrated WR in the NFL and in fantasy.
What about the time when he was top five for wide receivers in two of the last three years?
You mean before Finley made his full impact...answer: who cares? We're talking about the situation now.
:lmao: Did i miss something?
Perhaps the first five games last season when Finley was unstoppable? Do you watch football?
Unstoppable? LOLFinley played 4 games last year:

4 rec 47 yards

4 rec 103 yards

9 rec 115 yards

4 rec 36 yards 1 TD

Very good for a TE, but far from unstoppable.
He stopped himself once he thought he did enough damage.
 
I've been around long enough to be familiar with the LHUCKS method of posting and this post is a textbook example.

That said I would caution those that would read this thread and assume that there is no value to his confrontation position. There's no way I'd rate Jennings WR13, but I do think his ADP is a bit inflated at this point. To win in non-guppy leagues you need to hit some home runs and my experience has been that when I start giving too much value to high floor guys I end up with solid teams but rarely win championships. Someone is going to end up with next seasons version of Foster, Vick, Steve Johnson etc and if it's not you then you better have guys that can blow up as well.

None of that means that Jennings can't blow up in 2011. But if you draft him as WR6 do it because you think he will blow up, not because you think at worst he will get 1000 and 8.

What you are saying here is true, but you cant expect your first 2 or 3 picks to far exceed their draft positions. Your right, in order to win your league you will need to hit some Fosters, Steve Johnsons, etc, but you also need your top few picks to not bust. Thats what makes Jennings a good 2nd/3rd round pick, he is consistent with some upside.

I agree with a lot of the sentiment that Jennings numbers will go down a little but I watched a few of those games and thought that Rodgers was too locked into Finley. I expect a more balanced offense this year like we saw towards the end of last year and also think both will be great producers fantasywise. I would not draft Jennings as a top 5 WR but off the top of my head think he would fall between 8-10 in my rankings.
My take as well. They rolled through the playoffs and won a Super Bowl throwing it to Jennings. They aren't going to just discard that because Finley gets medical clearance.

McCarthy destroyed defenses by lining Jennings up in the slot last year, and playing Finley outside should make that even easier.
 
Going back to 2009 when Finley returned from injury, and including the playoffs, here are their past 12 games together:PLAYER YEAR WK OPP TARG REC YD TD FPTFINLEY AVG 7.1 5.4 73.0 0.4 9.8 PRO16 113.3 86.7 1168.0 6.7 156.8PLAYER YEAR WK OPP TARG REC YD TD FPTJENNING AVG 7.5 4.2 71.8 0.5 10.2 PRO16 120.0 66.7 1148.0 8.0 162.8Formatting is off and I don't care to play with it.
LRN to play PPR...Points in the above in PPR: Finley - 243.7 (Even more if TE get bonus as in many leagues)Jennings - 229.5

Coming from you? :lmao: But there was little value to contribute that had not already been done.Calling him the most overrated WR in NFL was not a valuable contribution to this board. Neither is 99% of your schtick.The guy has proven to be a very very very good NFL and fantasy WR...yet a 5 game sample blows that up in your mind.Where is the value in that?
 
Sad to see this trolling is accepted in the Shark Pool as well. :thumbdown:

Jennings is certainly overrated as a Real WR. His situation is elite however and as long as Rodgers is slinging bee bees all over the field he will probably remain in the top 12 fantasy wideouts. It is still unreal how many people on these boards are so quick to label a WR elite and another as ineffective and not factor in offensive system and QB play. No disrespect to Jennings, he works hard to improve his craft no doubt. If you put Percy Harvin, Santonio Holmes, Sidney Rice, Kenny Britt on the packers as the WR 1 they would produce better numbers IMO.

Nelson. Okay, that's admittedly a stretch. But it wouldn't surprise me at all.
If Nelson were capable of leadding the Packers in TD receptions i dont think they would have drafted Cobb. I also think if Nelson were capable of being a good #2 WR he would have taken old man Drivers spot already, or at least eliminated James "butter fingers" Jones.from the picture.

I respectfully disagree. Cobb was drafted to replace Driver. He's much more in that mold, though I think he could be even better than the Donald over time b/c I think he's more explosive.The reason Jones has lasted this long is b/c he's a tease. He's an absolute beast physically, but ultimately he's been way too inconsistent. The Pack have been waiting for him to take over and at this point, I think even they might have given up.I see this WR corps becoming Jennings/Nelson on the outside with Cobb in the slot. May not evolve into that until both James and Driver are gone, but that could happen sooner rather than later.Nelson has Rodgers trust. If he becomes the starter opposite Jennings, look out. I will be following this closely as we head into this season. I think Nelson could be a major value play if things break right.

Exactly, and after Jennings, Finley, and the "new Driver" get theirs, how much is going to be left for Nelson. I dont think he will ever be a guy i would want to count on in my starting lineup. Also, if Jones was a tease, and Nelson was that good, i think they wuld have given up on Jones much sooner.

Maybe i just dont like Nelson because i bet alot of money on the Packers in the SB, and watched Nelson almost singlehandedly cost me that money with his drops.

 
Jennings isn't overrated. He didn't have that great of stats at the beginning of the year because ROdgers was missing him a few times a game on some deep balls.

Watch the games................don't just comment on the stats. Once they clicked a little better, Jennings had a GREAT final 10 games.

Jennings also had a couple pretty good years in 2008 and 2009.

Finley back on the field is NOT ging to hurt Jennings.

Yes, this really added value to the board. And you might want to check in the amount of people disagreeing with you...its not just Packers fans and you appear to be the only one with some bunching going on.The problem with it...is you don't do it to get thoughtful analysis. Otherwise you would not consistently take the exact wrong opinion every single time.Saying Greg Jennings is the most overrated NFL WR is not a thought provoking statement. Its pretty much completely false...yet you defend it as if you wrote something profound.

Holmes? Please.Jennings uses his combo of decent speed, and great moves to get open. He has something not all WRs also have, chemistry with his QB.Loving that now he is just a system WR. Makes me think you have not watched him play much.Britt would not make it with the Packers...not with his off the field issues.Harvin needs to stay on the field first. But I don't think he is a #1 type WR to play on the outside. He is great in his role. Great slot guy and creative out of the backfield. But not sure he could play Jennings role in GB's offense.

A. I don't think Cobb's drafting had anything to do with Jordy Nelson.B. That old man Driver still has/had some good football left in him.C. Jones gets a bad rap for the drops because of the timing...but his drop percentage was not all that bad compared to his teammates.Nelson is easily capable of being a good #2 (maybe not great...but a good #2).

I would say its more like he throws softballs that are too tempting to not hammer out of the park. He sets the bar so low that others feel compelled to compensate.*Greg Jennings is a elite WR because he is a technician. His game is much like Marvin Harrison was. Crisp route running, great hands, instincts, not afraid to go over the middle, he really does it all. He may not be as gifted physically as say Calvin or Andre Johnson .. but few are.I don't think he is over-rated for fantasy purposes being ranked 7 of the WRs. I would take the 2 Johnsons and Fitz ahead of him but after that your looking at White/Wayne/Colston.. I think Jennings is worth considering in that pocket of players. As far as Nicks/Bowe/Marshall/Welker ect. I can see issues rating any of them ahead of Jennings. So 7th rated WR makes sense to me. That is where he should be.*see bloom I even bothered to put some punctuation in my post. Something I usually won't do.

I watched pretty much every Packers snap up until the bye in week 10. So, just to get this out of the way, don't go telling me: "Do you watch actual football?" and that kind of juvenile stuff that is so pervasive around here.

Now, remember how frustrated Jennings was up until Week 5-6? Remember why? Google it, the news reports should still be there.

He was pissed because he wasn't seeing enough targets for his taste. This is a guy who expects 10 a game. If gets six, he is cranky - and he has the personality to let you know about it. He was also especially pissed because defenses often left him with single coverage to go after Finley, yet Rodgers rarely made use of that. That last part I can personally attest to: I saw it time after time again, Jennings is wide open downfield, Rodgers throws to Finley anyway.

You can argue whether it was due to play design.

You can debate whether Finley will be as dominant or healthy again.

You can argue whether Rodgers won't find a good balance again.

Regardless, just judging by what my own eyes saw and what my common sense dictates, there is no way Jennings comes close to his numbers from last season unless injuries hit again. The Packers are apt to throw the ball as much as Peyton or Brees, but there are just not enough targets to go around. No way Jordy goes away after that SuperBowl. No way 2nd rounder Cobb doesn't get a few. No way Finley is used for blocking. Add to that an improved running game.

FWIW, I trust my own memory and logic, so I am staying away from Jennings unless I can get him in WR2 range.

No way 2nd rounder Cobb doesn't get a few. No way Finley is used for blocking. Add to that an improved running game. FWIW, I trust my own memory and logic, so I am staying away from Jennings unless I can get him in WR2 range.
:goodposting: would you agree he is the most overrated WR of those ranked in the top 10?
