If this continues, this is maybe the thing I like the most about FF, finding a little known player and seeing him take off.

As opposed to the decent piece of bone china playing with a future HOF QB (Amendola) that I dropped for him.

Boykin will be solid for a couple weeks yet. Jones needs more time to recover. Week 10 at the earliest.

Agreed.

Then at that point do you continue to ride or try to sell high?

 

[solorca]

Been battling with this decision all week, but I've finally decided to play Boykin over Blackmon in my flex spot.

Better match-up, better QB, and the potential of rain/wind for the Jacksonville game scared me a bit.

 

[TartanLion]

Playing him over Garçon and Gordon this week. I think.

 

[solorca]

Playing him over Garçon and Gordon this week. I think.

Over Garçon? Against the Broncos worst pass defense in the NFL?

Yeah, no way am I starting Boykin over Garcon.

 

[Maven]

Playing him over Garçon and Gordon this week. I think.

Whos your other WRs? Def over Gordon ...IDK about over Garcon. Althogh, Boykin seems like a lock to score a TD ...

 

[BigSteelThrill]

In my 12 teamer I have Boykin in the flex.

Over Giovanni, Le"Veon, SJax, J Gordon, T Williams and H Douglas.

 

[TartanLion]

WRs are Fitzgerald and I've played V Jackson already. I dunno, I know the Garçon matchup is good but RG3 seems to be finding everyone but him on the offence recently, his numbers in non ppr have been disappointing recently. RG3 is running more, he's finding Reed and also other WRs a lot.

I really like Boykins matchup, he has an outstanding QB throwing to him and he is technically only second in line to Nelson right now in passing terms

I'm not sure it's clear cut either way. Boykins score last week was higher than all but one of Garçons scores which came in week 2. I fancy Boykin to do the same again

 

[solorca]

I do like Boykin this week, but I wouldn't bench him for Garcon. I actually do have Garcon as well, but consider him untouchable in my lineup, along with Decker. The decision for me came down to Boykin, Stevie Johnson, and Blackmon. I chose Boykin.

I'd the match up was better for Blackmon, Boykin would likely be on my bench.

 

[sho nuff]

Agreed.

I think there is room for him in that offense even with Jones back.

With Cobb and Finley out...he will still get looks.

That said...another big week or 2...Im considering a sell. It is speculative based on Cobb.

If Im lucky enough to make week 15/16 playoff and Super Bowl, Cobb is eligible to return by week 15. Barring injury to Jones or Nelson...not sure I see what I want out of Boykin those weeks.

[dewmass]

Put him in over Shorts in one team and over Colston in another. Players like this are the fun of FF to me, benching them the weeks they could be relevant is just joyless

 

[DoubleG]

Starting over D. Moore.

 

[Chaka]

Whos your other WRs? Def over Gordon ...IDK about over Garcon. Althogh, Boykin seems like a lock to score a TD ...

Garcon went 6 for 69 and 5 for 58 against the #30 & 26 pass defenses the last two weeks. He gets a lot of targets but I don't think he has been all that impressive with all those opportunities this year. With Jones still out I would go with the hot hand in Boykin.

Nice to know I've not gone completely mad quite yet then, as this is the way I've basically read it. Thanks for that.

To be clear I think Garcon is probably a better WR I just like Boykin more because of his current opportunity.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I loved that late deep catch Boykin made last night. I enjoyed watching him play a full game too, I would like to be able to start him the rest of the year.

How are owners (or others) sensing the return of James Jones will play out?

He has played very well the last two weeks. He had a very quiet 89 yards this week but he did make the most of his opportunites. He is a big body with good hands and there is definitely room to be productive even as the 3rd receiver in a GB offense. Essentially he will be filling the Cobb role upon Jones return and with Finley out there is not real anyone else to pick up the slack. Just like Jones does, Boykin likely will have good and bad weeks but his overall production should be good until Cobb returns.

Agreed...the interesting thing IMO...will be how they move the WRs around.

Nelson was in the slot a bit to take advantage of the mismatches...similar to how they used Jennings in the past.

With Finley out...Boykin should still get looks even with Jones around...I think he has done enough to earn the trust of Rodgers. But he does need to get some more separation. Not sure Rodgers trusts him enough to make the throws to him that he was making to Nelson in tight coverage.

whats the word on James Jones? with the Monday Night Game it might be hard to know if you should play Boykins or not

2 leagues where I have Boykin...ppr...Im planning on playing him in both of them (bye weeks not helping...but he is my WR3 going forward in those leagues)

why woudlnt you? with james jones out he on the field for practically every play, when James jones returns the basic 2wr set wont have Boykin in it. less time on the field = less opportunity.

Boykin is currently filling the James Jones role. When he returns, Boykin will either have to move to the slot (where he has never played) or he will have a diminished role.

yeah it looked to me in the vikings game that Myles White was in the slot most of the time when they went 3wr sets.

Or Nelson could move to the slot, which he did a lot of this past game.

yeah and the slot is so hard to play...come on man

 

[Warhogs]

I managed to grab Boykin in only 1 of my dynasty leagues but I have relatively high hopes for him in dynasty. He has played well given this opportunity and long term James Jones is a potential free agent and Cobb needs to come back from injury. If someone goes hard after Jones in free agency Green Bay could let him go. I loved the stat. on the Sunday night game that showed 50 of Green Bays 53 active players have only played an NFL game for Green Bay. Stunning stat. that shows they prefer to build through the draft/sign undrafted guys and develop them. If Jones leaves after this year then it would seem pretty likely that Boykin would be the guy asked to step up and fill that absence. Short term I believe he will see a pretty hefty workload while Cobb is injured.

who knows how they will be used, but If James Jones plays I think Boykin moves down in the pecking order.

Actually that's not correct (presuming that the following from Rotoworld is correct):

All three of Jones, Nelson and Boykin have played in the slot before so they will most likely move them around and White will be the odd man out.

That said, I do think Boykin's target numbers will dip when James returns - regardless where he is playing.

 

[Banger]

just dealt him for Dalton. With Jones coming back and situation uncertain I thought I'd deal him now while he has some value. I'm sure now that I've traded for Dalton the pixie dust will wear off but he's been on quite the run and he certainly has the weapons. The passing game should be very difficult to stop going down the stretch.

 

[donkshow]

Basically going to be Boykin or Hilton the rest of the way in my flex.

He longer Jones is out the longer I can ride the Boykin train.

I was basing it on a comment from PFF. Not really sure whose correct, but I have always trusted PFF.

On the subject however, Jordy played 17 snaps in the slot last week, so it could be a good sign for Boykin's continued involvement when Jones returns.

It's been at least 20 years since the Packers ran a basic 2wr set.

Remember, James Jones was arguably the Packers #4 receiver last season and he lead the NFL in touchdown receptions.

exactly.

Depends on game-flow and if jj is on a snap count, and who lines up in the slot.

I could see Jordy in slot and JJ & boykin on the outside alot.

IF they get up big on chicago it might not matter, but then again they were up big on Minnesota and Boykin had two big catches late.
