Baskett's a talented undrafted rookie from last season, better than a good percentage, talent-wise, of the WRs in the league - but his stats won't reflect that due to his chances on the field.This is why the Dynasty Baskett is > the Redraft Baskett.

Let me preface by saying that I am very bullish/optimistic of the Eagles offense this year. If McNabb's healthy, I honestly believe they will sport one of the best, if not the best, offense in the league....IE: There will be more recptions to go around.If Curtis, Brown and LJ SMith all stay healthy all year, then Baskett won't be likely to go much over 25/350 yds., because they will spread the ball around a lot. While I don't normally include injuries in projections, there are THREE significant people whose injuries would bump up Baskett's targets and receptions. If each were to miss 2 games (not unreasonable since just one missing 6 would meet this criteria)...then I could easily see Baskett for another 15-20 targets, taking him up into the 35 reception area. AT 15 yards a catch, that's pushing for 500 yards.SECOND: Baskett will make for an outstanding red zone target because of his size and athleticism. It's easy to imagine him being used more in the RZ...even in 2 WR sets because he may well make a more attractive reciever then Curtis in tighter quarters. I think Baskett will have a fair TD total even if he only gets 20 or so receptions. I'm seeing 4 as the floor.Third: NOBODY is claiming he should be considered as a WR3 or 4 on a redraft squad. The claim is that his upside is very good, and he's worth a late sleeper pick. IN dynasty leagues his value is higher. IN best ball leagues (like message board surviver leagues), he could make for a very attractive #4 because he will have a couple of good games and you won't have to predict when/where.If Brown or Curtis missed significant time, he will be on the field 60%+ of the time on a high powered offense. What more do you want from a late round sleeper pick?

Time to crunch some #s...Reggie Brown: registered 16 games last season w/ 91 targets. That equals less than 5.7 targets a game.Stalworth registered 12 games w/ 78 targets. That equals 6.5 targets a game. More targets = primary WR... its that simple.

this is assuming thy weren't coverred, they were the first option for McNabb to look to and McNabb didn't look to his next option. Champ Bailey games, for example, I'm sure it'd appear the #2 WR was the primary WR following this scenario

That's the dumbest comment I've heard anyone make on these boards in a LONG time. X is a position on the field. It doesn't mean the X WR is the #1 option on most plays in the playbook. It doesn't mean in a given game, the coach will call more plays where X is the primary option, than where Y is. It doesn't mean the QB is going to look at X first, even if he is the "primary" option as diagrammed. It doesn't mean the best WR plays X. It's spot on the field.And I don't even care WHO was the #1 WR last year on the Iggles. I just hate stupid comments like that. This is the Shark Pool, people around here should be educated.

In Philly the X is the primary receiver. But as someone else was saying, in Philly it's pretty much 1a/1b.

Ok, I like Hank Baskett. But this is getting ridiculous.

Are you saying that we're all a bunch of . . . Baskett cases?
