I wouldve thought they were in the top half of the league. Interesting.

I actually watched that atrocious game last week and after it, I dropped Little (10 team nonppr). While he is extremely talented, Colt McCoy and that offense are staggeringly bad. I don't know what's up with them, maybe Hillis coming back will be the answer, but he won't be able to solve McCoy's inaccuracies as a passer or the lines inability to protect the young qb. I really thought Cleveland could make a statement this year, why I drafted Hillis and picked up Little...whatever.

I have faith in Holmgren but McCoy is really concerning me. Hopefully these are just some growing pains but it's frustrating watching some younger QBs have more success than McCoy.
ETA: I definitely wouldn't drop him in a keeper league. I'm holding him in a 12 team league with 8 bench spots. I know the second I drop him he'll have a huge game and I'll miss out on him on waivers.

Looking forward to 3 catches for 33 yards. Cant believe I have to start this guy this week.

Last 4 weeks Little is averaging 9 targets per team game. That's 12th among WR's. Now it's true there are some names in that top 15 like Crabtree, Tampa Mike, & Doucet who do not produce, but by and large that is a group of the best WR's in the game, Roddy White, Maclin, AJ Green, Steve Smith CAR are just below Little, Lloyd, Nicks, LFitz, Calvin are just above him.
Seattle has a better defense than people give them credit for, even on the road. I think his 6/57 vs TEN and his 6/72 vs OAK is more like what to expect moving forward. He is lacking TD's right now. I think I would rather have Little than say a name like Holmes who can get absolutely disappeared in that Jets offense in any given game.
I am personally struggling whether to play Little or Brown/Sanders in one league. If Ward plays, I may likely go Little.

It's funny that you mention Little and Crabtree, because I've seen a lot of fantasy teams that have both players (myself included). I see them both in kind of the same light. They will probably get a number of targets and convert that into relatively low yardage totals. I think the normal production you can expect out of those two guys is probably around 5-6 catches for 50-60 yards. Personally, I'm happy with that production as a WR3 in a PPR league. I think if you expect 10-15 points a week and go in with that expectation, you'll be happy.

People need to remember that he's still a raw rookie, yet the light is starting to come on for him. I don't think with that conservative offense, Little is going to put up monster numbers, but the team is throwing the ball a lot and he is already emerging as the best option in the passing game.
I do see better days ahead.

In redraft, one thing to be mindful of his late season schedule. BALx2 and @PIT in Wks 13-16. CIN in Wk 12. Given how putrid CLE's offense has looked the last three weeks against teams like SEA, I just don't see a lot of production from Little when it matters down the road.
With no deep threat on that team, I see more "tons of targets, low catch percentage, 4-5 catches, low yardage" days ahead as Colt struggles to force the ball into tight windows on a compressed field.

Frustrating to own Little right now. The talent is there and he's flashed it, and he got 11 targets today, or 1 less target than Watson/Cribbs/Norwood combined, but they all still had more yards than him.
Not sure how much longer I can hold onto him because he seemingly runs a route longer than 10 yards only once every 3 drives

Yep, still a Brown and still nothing to see here.
He will be ok. I still think McCoy is his biggest drawback.

Smells like chicken
He looked lost this past week.

Little is only worth having in dynasty leagues. I think the Browns will be shopping for another QB next season. McCoy cannot get the ball downfield.
That will change.

Sadly, the early rankings are pretty much useless. I noticed that Little was insanely high and Mario Manningham was in the 60's.
