Hunting for Brandon Lloyd (1 Viewer)

denarius moore? 4 for 34 this week and thery scored 34 points? no thanks. the rushing td is a fluke.
This baffles me. The guy pit up a good game when he team was simply pounding the rock. What more do you want? He went against some good corners, too, and still was targeted early and often. Sure the TD is a bit of luck, but the play call indicates they want to get this guy involved...a lot. And Jackson is singing his praises and so far has backed it up by playing this kid.
Don't get wrong. He has a bright future, but we are talking about hunting for brandon lloyd.
 
Denarius Moore could easily be the breakout player of the year. He has the speed and hands needed in a receiver, steps up on the field and makes big time plays as he has already shown in the last couple of games and plays on a team with injury prone receivers that can't stay on the field (DHB, Louis Murphy and Jacoby Ford). If you watch the tape and still think he doesn't have what it takes to break out then you don't know football.

 
It's one of these 3 guys:Denarius MooreDavid NelsonNate Washington
Not sure why that is the limit of the list - Smith is def a candidate now - but in looking at it two huge negatives jump out:1) Jason Campbell will limit Moore's upside2) Kenny Britt drawing WR1 coverage helped Nate a lot the first couple weeksNelson has a great QB throwing to him. Not everyone believes in the Amish Rifle, but I do. I think that offense is hitting on all cylinders, and especially in PPR, I love the 6'5" slot receiver.But he's not going 1400 and 10, so look elsewhere...
 
Nate Washington may be your guy. Looks to fit all your criteria and is quietly performing well after 3 weeks.
With Britt done for the year - absolutely.Now add Damian Williams to the list.
Any more thoughts on Damian?Hasselbeck has turned out to be a great fit for the Titans.The other favorites in this thread haven't done much lately - D. Moore, D. Nelson, Decker. Out of those 3 I still like David Nelson the best, but we'll have to wait and see how Tebow affects Decker's value. Moore is just going to be inconsistent like all Raiders WRs.
 
Based on recent developments, Demaryius Thomas should be on the watch list. At least worth taking a flier on (if available). Lloyd's out of the way, Tebow needs a guy... :shrug:

Really nice schedule week's 13-16 too.

 
Looks like the clear answer here is DHB.

Coming on like a freight train. Averaging ~10 targets/game and no fewer than 82 yards receiving the past 4 weeks. Guy is finally starting to play with some emotion.

I've bumped the guy into my dynasty Top 20 WR. i think he's another Roddy White -- another post-hype 1st round that showed very shaky hands early on in career.

 
Jeff was right about Oakland, reminds me of Denver last year where it was cloudy and then Lloyd emerged.

The other main situation was Pittsburgh, and now Ward is hurt. Anyone have any new or updated thoughts on Brown vs Sanders in PIT? Sanders had 7 target, Brown 9. Last 3 games it's something like 14/15. And NE has been a very good WR matchup this year.

And Little remains on the cusp, basically he is lacking TD's at this point, plus MoMass & Watson have concussions.

And Decker - Thomas got all the targets but it was Decker who was wide open for a possible long TD.... that Tebow whiffed on. I'm not so sure Decker is done yet.

I have targeted and benched Antonio Brown in my main league (with return yards) for basically the same reason you've stated above for Mandy Sanders.I just heard a lot of really good things about Antonio in camp and then he came out and proved it in pre-season.He's not a polished receiver but he's got jets and him and Ben seem to mesh at times.Manny Sanders is no push-over and I may roster him as well but for now I am laying my chips down on Brown simply because of his red hot pre-season, his potential ceiling in a return league and the fact he had 9 targets last week.
I don't mean to toot my own horn but toot toot!!!

Antonio Brown has performed like a WR3 for most of the season - when he hits he is going to hit big ala pre-season.High End WR2 upside especially with Ward hurt. Wallace is only catching 3-4 balls for game - plenty available for Brown.
