Greg Little (1 Viewer)

Momass will make a very interesting WR2 given his moderate level of success as the only WR on CLE period. Little has all the raw talent of any WR in he draft, but his skills are another story. I still think Little landed in a great spot and if you are drafting him in dynasty league he's totally worth a pick in the 1.05 or higher range for what he will be doing in 2012. MoMass also gets a nice bump up as he'll be pulling alot of single coverage from now on. The big question is Colt IMO.

 
Second-round pick Greg Little has seen action with the first-team offense early in Browns camp due to injuries.

The first-team reps should be valuable for a player who sat out all of last season on an NCAA suspension. Mohamed Massaquoi remains idle with a bum left foot, and it's conceivable Little will maintain a first-string role even when he returns. Little is one of the top-five rookie wideouts for fantasy football. Aug 1, 9:37 PM

Just saying...Getting first team reps already :)

 
As a Tar Heel fan, any hype surrounding this guy turns my stomach. No way I have him on any of my draft lists.
I have my doubts too, but felt like that before the NCAA stuff. I worry about Greg's route running and ability to catch in traffic. He played WR impressive for all of one season, and it was a year that QB TJ Yates was absolutely on fire. I had my doubts about Tate as a WR as well for similar reasons. This is NOT another sure fire NFL WR like Nicks. Work ethic is not similar. Little has the bonehead thing going for him as well. Throw in a Hillis led offense and Colt McCoy and its overwhelming evidence for me to pass at his current ADP.

HIs current ADP is like 13th round lol
 
The West Coast Offense has a long history of producing great fantasy WRs. It also has a history of making average WR's into Pro Bowlers, the Packers Robert Brooks/Donald Driver are great examples of this. The short pass routes in the west coast offense seem perfect for an athlete like Greg Little.

Below are a list of NFL teams that run or sample the west coast offense:

Eagles: D-Jax, Maclin

Seahawks: Obomanu and Mike Williams looked like studs at times

Vikings: Last year Rice and Harvin

Cardinals: Fitz, Boldin, Breaston

Redskins: Santana Moss last year (career high in receptions)

Denver in the past (Rod Smith put up almost a HOF careeer with the west coast)

Packers: Production over the years

I think the offense is perfect for a guy like Little in a PPR league. I'm not sure how this will go this year, but after this year I like Littles chances of putting up Pro-Bowl type numbers. The west coast has a history of feeding the rock to one WR......

 
Mike Mayock reported from Browns camp yesterday that Little looked great.... and awful.

He had 3 TDs during afternoon practice, but also had three drops. If his hands become consistent, this kid is the truth. Mayock speculates they will look to him in the red zone because of his size and how he "high points" the ball over defenders.

 
The squad came out fired up and rookie receiver Greg Little(notes) quickly made the first big play. The team’s No. 2 draft pick made a leaping, one-handed grab in the end zone. Later, he “scored” again at the other end of the field.

“For him to go up and get the ball at its highest point like he did is good,” Shurmur said. “He’s made huge progress in one week. We expect him to go even farther.”

As a Wolfpack fan, I despise Little. Aside from the off the field stuff, I'll never forget an incident from the UNC-State game in 2009. Little blocked a State DB illegally on a play, and the State player went down with a torn ACL. Little proceeded to then stand over him and taunt him while the DB was in obvious pain. (I'm not saying he intended to cause the injury, but it was very low class/immature.)

I can hear it now. DB: Oh my knee... Little: I just pee'd in your mouth son!
 
If it helps anyone. I just took Greg Little in a Contract Keeper League at the 1.8.I think he's raw, but the upside and landing spot seem pretty good. I like the offense he landed in and really with the rest on the board the risk of him busting does not hurt that much. Little will have to be kept on a emotional leash on and off the field, but that emotion also makes him fight for the ball and for a kid only having 1 year of college wr experience he sure does know how to go get the ball. Mccoy, I think is being a overlooked a bit here in my opinion. Mccoy was extremely accurate in college and was a leader on the field. I think he did a pretty good job for a kid thrown into the fire when he was not really suppose to be playing. I also think he showed pretty good poise under serious pressue.Mccoy just was not a huge factor for me as he seems to be in the thread. I think he will progress this season as well. The Browns must think so as well. The Browns could have went after a QB in the draft and elected not too. If the Browns get a wr in FA then maybe things change for Little, but who do they get Steve Smith???, TO??? trade for a WR with the draft picks they scarfed away from the Falcons?? I don't see that happening. I hope not !!!! I'm a Bengals fan too!!! I hate saying good things about the Browns. :wall:

Or maybe he was just psyched he pancaked a guy and didnt realize how hurt the kid was?

Good point. I had Hines Ward on my team. :D

that play was the reason i became in love with Little.He had no clue the chump blew his ACL while he pancacked him. when you humiliate someone like that you deserve to celebrate.
 
only thing to NOT like about Little is that he went to that sissy little cheating school in Chapel Hill. He will be a beast on Sundays.

Interesting. Says all I need to know about you. The "chump" blows out an ACL from an illegal block, and you still call him a "chump"? You must be #winning in life.

He didn't celebrate. He taunted the opposing player. There is a difference. He's a punk, plain and simple.

While everyone argues between Jones and Green, Little will be the rookie steal of the draft.

But unlike so many other top WRs, evidently he'll still be a punk.
 
Just grabbed Little at 10.06 (114) - WR42, my WR5 (behind AJ, J. Knox, J. Ford & M. Thomas).

Julio Jones was the only other rookie WR drafted before him and Jones went at 6.09 (69). This is a re-draft league. I thought I got good value here in the 10th.

You left AJ Green on the board for him? :confused:

Curious what was illegal about it. If it's the play I remember watching, the only thing criminal about it was how badly he blew him off the point. Little just drove him 10 yards backwards and knocked the guy on his ###. I'll take that from a WR, especially one that makes plays on the ball the way Little does.

My mistake - Green was also already drafted, so Little was the 3rd rookie WR taken. Green went at 8.08 (92)

JWB is a NC State fan so everything good done by UNC is illegal. He's at the height of his power right now with the UNC investigations. Some people are just like that. :shrug:

In a re-draft, I might do the same - although more likely I'd pass on both.
In the 2 mocks I've done, Little is there in the last 2 rounds. He seems like a really good value pick there.

As I recall, he kept blocking after the whistle, and that is when the DB tore his ACL and went down. That's why I called it illegal. It was a great block, and it wasn't his fault that the DB got hurt, but taunting an obviously hurt player was a punk move, period.

WTF are you talking about? I'm "at the height of my power"? "Some people are just like that"? What do you mean by these comments?I have posted plenty about the UNC football scandal... but they cheated, so whatever I've posted on that subject about UNC doing things illegally has been legit. Other than that scandal, I don't believe I've posted anything about UNC doing things illegally, other than my mention in this thread of the block by Little. Is that "everything good done by UNC is illegal"?You seem to have gotten pretty sensitive over anything relating to UNC, or at least anything I post. I have gotten in a little ribbing, but IMO my posts on the subject have been reasonable, especially in comparison to some others around here. Most of my posts on the subject have been to link articles from around the internet. If you react this way to my posts, you should just stop reading the UNC related threads for a while... the scandal is not going away for months.
 
Here is the clip of the block in question:

The blocking is great by Little, but he goes all punk on him when he is clearly hurt. :thumbdown:

I think of him as a more athletic Jordy Nelson. For the Browns I see about 800 yards 6 TDs a year.
I remeber when you didnt have him ranked in the top 40 fantasy prospects...
That was back in febuary or something, and I'l already admit to being way off on that one.
Yea, looking back I was definitely being immature about that whole thing, my bad man.
It's all good. Wasnt my finest moment either.
 
Browns rookie Greg Little has struggled with dropped passes early in camp.

Little had four drops in Monday's practice alone. "He needs to be consistent and play well at a high level every day," coach Pat Shurmur said. "I wouldn’t say the drops are increasing. I think at times he needs to catch it better." The Browns are going to need Little, so he'll have to step up his performance. We're still tentatively projecting him as an Opening Day starter. http://www.rotoworld.com/

This guy in GREAT!

I think there are a lot of people missing the boat on this guy. You can't deny the talent and physicality! The film doesn't lie!

Family Day fans witness a big effort from Greg Little: Cleveland Browns Insider

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The emphasis was on passing in the Browns' Family Day practice in Cleveland Browns Stadium, and the beneficiary was Greg Little.

Little, who may have the most inapt name of all the new Browns, plays taller than his listed height of 6-2 and stronger than his listed weight of 220 pounds. An announced crowd of 11,965 may have come away a little more convinced of the team's argument against pursuing a No. 1 receiver in free agency.

In red-zone drills on plays starting inside the 20, Little displayed the talent that attracted him to the Browns in the second round of the draft. On one Colt McCoy throw to the left corner of the end zone, Little leaped above cornerback Dimitri Patterson and safety Usama Young to snare the touchdown. A few plays later, he cradled a pass from Seneca Wallace on a skinny route to the post.

After the latter catch, Little stepped to the goalpost and did a 180-degree, behind-the-head slam of the ball over the crossbar. He later termed the dunk "boomshakalaka."

"Just having fun," Little said. "It is a practice, but fans come out and they want to see some exciting plays. I definitely wanted to go out and better myself from Thursday's practice, definitely progress from that."

It's been an eventful week for Little. Coach Pat Shurmur worked Little hard in red-zone drills and there were several drops on Thursday. But Little's positive response the following two days has been pleasing to the coach. Shurmur said on draft day that Little could be the team's No. 1 receiver. By the end of the first week of practice, Little was the best receiver out there.

"He's a big receiver," Shurmur said. "I think he does a good job using his body. For him to go up and get the ball at his highest point is good. He's kind of running himself into playing shape."

McCoy said, "In the red zone, he's a big body guy, you throw it up and hopefully he goes and makes a play."

I'm a little late on this discussion. Are you guys actually expecting startable production out of him this year? I have a really hard time getting excited about anyone when Colt McCoy is the QB, much less a rookie.
He does seem to be the front runner to start at WR. There isn't many other healthy options in Cleveland. Someone has to catch the ball there and with how late he is going in drafts, it isn't the worst gamble around.

Ehh, I'm not sure what you can expect out of him this year. I sure wouldn't feel comfortable having him locked in as a starter or the first guy off my bench, but I think theres a chance hes solid by the middle of the year. Nice guy to have on the bench for bye weeks
