Is Seyi a must start for this week? (1 Viewer)

Im starting to feel this guy is a must start. Im mostly likely benching Ocho for him. Im usually good at predicting usage, and my gut tells me Seyi gets plenty of looks. Thoughts?

Yes, Yes and Yes!Champ on Crayton or Floyd if he plays... starting Tutu
 
I think Tuti is going to be relevant all season. Not a #1 fantasy option but a good option weekly. Floyd had a setback yesterday with the Hammy. Nanne also questionable. and I just read that even with them healthy Tutu was getting alot of reps. they can stretch the field with this kid. Even if you dont start him he should not be on the waiver wire incase he was dropped during the bye week.

Chargers WR Seyi Ajirotutu continues to get a lot of snaps in practice despite the expected return this week of starters WR Malcom Floyd (hamstring) and WR Legedu Naanee (hamstring). "I'm staying ready and staying sharp," Ajirotutu said. "I'm taking a lot of reps." The Chargers take on the Broncos in Week 11 on Monday night.

TE Antonio Gates is fighting a painful plantar fascia tear on his right foot, a sprained ankle, and turf toe on his left foot. The tear is what is likely to keep him from playing against the Broncos. He has not practiced for weeks and will be a game time decision. It is doubtful he will play.

Gates out? according to who?

Believe me, I am aware of that. But out, doubtful and questionable are 3 different things. As of now, he is not listed as out.

Gates has expressed his frustrations this week dealing with the torn plantar fascia in his right foot. He says the pain is unbearable and it is sounding as though he might have to sit out another game. Since the Chargers don't play until Monday, unless you have McMichael as a handcuff, you are probably going to have to start another TE in Fantasy since waiting on Gates' status is a big risk.

Ok guy we know you are a frustrated Gates owner... OP should have stated "with the facts indicating Gates will more than likely be out"That being said unless your lineup is not locked Sun 100 pm you will just have to take your chances. Tutu and Crayton are only HEALTHY recievers on leagues most prolific passing attack.I would take my chances with them.

I hear you these situations suck.

This SD situation is one of the most fluid I have ever seen partly I believe because Norv would be willing to sit these guys with hammy's because the dropoff is not that great- with the exception of Gates- due to the QB
 
I have Tutu and Naanee (dropped Clayton for him, who btw is STILL sitting on my FA list) and have no idea what to do with them.

Heck, McMichael is on my FA too. Just sitting there. It's killing me!

 
I have until 4:15 tomorrow to decide whether or not to start him over Garcon or Ocho... I won't be sitting Tampa Mike or Colston, that's for sure...

Would love some concrete news sooner than later, but I may just have to reach on this one.

 
San Diego is supposed to have apractice today, so we can wait and see who does what in that. Unless Floyd doesn't practice at all, I'm not starting Seyi.

Probably

 
I had Seyi and started him during his big week. I dropped him before week 10. I am considering dropping Steve Smith Carolina and picking Seyi back up again. He could have a huge week. The MNF issue is the only thing holding me back right no (i.e. not knowing more info about Gates, Floyd and others before rosters get set on Sunday at 1pm ET). Thoughts?

If this helps given Floyds setback- from another poster.....

CHARGERS: Rehabbing Floyd came close to going on IR

Malcom Floyd thought his season was over four Sundays ago in St. Louis. The Chargers top receiver injured his hamstring late in a 20-17 loss to the Rams, tearing the muscle so severely that he thought the team wouldn't let him continue with a career year.

Long snapper David Binn suffered a similar injury in the season opener and linebacker Antwan Applewhite tore his hamstring early in 2009. The Chargers put both players on injured reserve.

"When I first popped it, I knew I was in big trouble," Floyd said after Wednesday's practice. "I thought for sure they were going to put me on IR. They told me how bad it was, and while they said it wasn't as bad as Dave Binn's tear; the percentage of the muscle that got torn was pretty close. It was almost completely off the bone."

That was a terrible turn for Floyd. He had 213 receiving yards the week before, helping establish his status as a true go-to receiver. Floyd had proved himself a reliable No. 1 threat, able to produce despite a steady dose double teams.

The injury was a setback, but it wasn't a death blow. The Chargers were patient with the injury, and Floyd is on the cusp of returning to action. Floyd has tested the hamstring with speed work, quick cuts and change-of-direction drills. So far, Floyd hasn't had any setbacks.

He didn't rush the rehab process, waiting for the muscle to heal before pushing himself. Now he's on schedule to return Nov. 22 against Denver and continue a season so close to ending early.

"They gave me a four-to-six week rehab, and this game was a target date," Floyd said. "I wanted to come back earlier, but this is something you just can't rush. Another setback and I could've been done for the year. I didn't want to be in that boat."

First saw this today- if this is true have much more confidence starting Tutu

 
Malcom Floyd-WR- Chargers Nov. 20 - 2:34 pm et

WR Malcom Floyd (hamstring) practiced Saturday while TE Antonio Gates (feet) and RB Ryan Mathews (ankle) did not.

I think the big question here is who does Champ cover? Is there *any* chance he'll be on Seyi? Is there *any* chance Seyi won't be on the field for 10+ targets? If it's Crayton and Seyi they'll probably put Champ on Crayton. If Floyd plays he'll draw Champ but then you've got Crayton and Floyd. Gates is the wild card. Seyi is getting more and more tempting though

My two decisions are: would you start him over Ocho in a PPR? That's going to be a tough call I'll look foolish if he gets 3-30 and Ocho has a good game. Would you start him over Floyd in a standard league if both play? This one is easy .. if Floyd sits I go Seyi. If both play it's a tougher call probably have to go Floyd.

 
How many of you would start him over Randy Moss?Im stuck in this bind.
I'm in the same boat my friend, I feel like Moss has a great match up this week but he's been absolute crap the last month or so. I think I'm starting Moss this week over Seyi, but if he doesn't perform this Sunday then he will find himself on the bench for the rest of the year until he does something impressive.

the only way i would start seyi over randy is if i knew all the other wides and gates were doubtful or out this week. go w/ the moss man here.

He only got 4 and 5 targets the last 2 games. With Floyd practicing today, I'm not starting him.
 
Floyd will play. The extra day of rest even more so ensures that. Will he make it through the whole game? Who knows. But that means Seyi will not start, and you are relying on his production coming from 3 wr sets and potential injury to Floyd. I understand the high expectations because of what he did last time, but this is a totally different scenario. Rivers is also comfortable throwing to McMichael in the end zone. I would temper expectations for Seyi this week. It doesn't mean he doesn't have upside, it just means he could get 3 as easily as 23, as not a great chance at his ceiling.

 
Beyond this week, what do you all see Seyi's value as? How do you compare him to other late-season gambles like Arrelious Benn and Sidney Rice? Any other good comparables?

 
have been debating starting Tutu or Murphy this week. Huge game for me as Playoffs begin next week and am trying to qualify.

We know that Gates and Nanee are both Doubtful.

Starters are likely Floyd & Crayton , with Tutu as the #3

Denver has been horrid vs #2 and #3 WR since Goodman has been out. With SD being a pass-happy offense, Tutu being a #3 with potential for more if Floyd re-tweaks the hammy, and with his matchup, i'm not sure how i can sit him.

Murphy has a nice matchup vs Steelers secondary, however the Raiders are a run-first team. Also, Murphy has no chemistry with Campbell (better with Gradk), and the Oak offense can't support 2 big fantasy receiving options. I think Zach is #1 and Campbell feels more comf with Ford than Murph. Also, Murph is coming back from a month layoff. Hard to expect too much first game back , generally.

 
Tutu over Murphy is a no brainer until Murphy shows he's healthy.

Regarding the Chargers I think they've been like the Cowboys, Colts, and a few others with stud TE's such that you really only see two good options most weeks and they can rotate which is giving owners a hard time. When one of the big 3 are out we see (until Indy last week) the other two pick up the slack.

For myself it's Tutu vs Floyd, Tamme, or Ocho as a flex in a standard scoring system and Tutu vs Gibson or Ocho in a PPR.

 
Shouldn't this question be about Crayton and not Seji? I think he would be the one to start this week, especially if Floyd plays. And it looks like he will.

well first of all Seyi is way more explosive than crayton so the potential for big points is there...and if Floyd does start but cant finish then Crayton moves into wr 1 position and draws Bailey which kills his production...IMO

I'm doing the same.Is Seyi a must start? Absolutely not. But if you are in need of help at the WR spot in your lineup he offers some nice upside for this week. With Floyd playing though, there's also a chance he put up a 2 for 30 or something like that.Either way I'm rolling with him over Steve Smith. I will NOT spend another week tracking a Panthers game hoping their offense isnt the complete SUCK!!!
 
Gates being out is stated as fact in the title...which is patently incorrect and misleading as of its posting. It is a prediction that of course could be accurate given the circumstances and it should be stated that way.

Why would you assume Floyd is not going to finish. You can't predict injury. If Floyd starts Crayton is the #2 and Seji is the #3. IMO, Crayton would be the best play.Especially if Seji can't finish the game. :unsure:

It's f'ing with plenty of people this morning. I'll move on when the title changes, thanks anyway though.

Good points about Crayton. He is forgotten in fantasy and he will be onthe field for more snaps. Though he has looked slow this year...he is still might be the #2 tomorrow.But Gates factors in here too. I havent done an analysis, though I should b/c I have plenty of Chargers.....but if Gates is out they may run more 3-wides and the snaps between Seyi and Crayton may tighten. Rivers clearly prefers Seyi from what he has said and what he has done when given the option to throw to him; so if their snaps are close to one another Seyi seems like the choice over Crayton.

Im not predicting floyds injury...he`s BEEN injured and out for some time now ...he`s playing his first game since and going against a great CB...in my opinion that pretty much takes him out of the equation...thats leaves an average Crayton and what seems to be an electrifying Seji to receive the targets in what would appear to be an air show MN...i own both Floyd and seji and im starting Senji...just sayin...its all guess work at this point
 
floyd can not even practice one day without a set back. no way i play floyd gates naanee seyi or crayton. people quit playing what if and play the players you have that you KNOW will put up numbers. this is ridiculous and why you prolly lose at fantasy football week end and year out.

facts --

floyds hammy almost pulled off the bone entirely. he practiced one game and had a set back. he practiced fully yesterday but come on even when he did play he was NOT spectacular and matter of fact he had 3 out of 6 games in ppr format in the single digits... see wk 1,4,and 6

Gates will most likely not play

crayton time will suffer and was only a viable option when floyd and naanee were out

seyi see above

naanee is doubtful and did not practice

why not play players who are 100% gonna play and see the field every down with juicy matchups

nate burleson @dallas

mike thomas no msw

brandon gibson 13 total rec last 2 games

manningham

braylon/holmes

crabtree vs tb

anyone vs cards panthers jax hou basically

this are just examples and my quick thoughts i just dont understnad the emphasis on these guys they are least than stellar when healthy. seyi being the outlier here and i like his potential but with all these guys hampering his playing time i wouldnt play him.
