Jennings - time to buy low? (1 Viewer)

Jennings is hurt and is likely a week or two away from returning but with the bye weeks and injuries mounting I think it makes sense to offer up something relatively cheap to try and land him. With Benson out they'll likely open up the passing offense more and their schedule from here on out looks really nice after the next two weeks with Jac, AZ, Det, NYG, Det, Chi and Tenn. I think the strategy is to buy now and park him as opposed to waiting.

Thoughts?

 
In my PPR dynasty leagues NO ONE wants him. I've offered him up in 2 leagues and literally, I can't get a turd for him. Its unreal. Do people think that's he's suddenly done? Even if he's not in GB next year, is that necessarily a bad thing? :confused:

It may be in a dynasty league. Jennings is getting up there in age, and while he's a talented WR, I don't see him as an elite talent, he's a by product of a great system and has played with two QBs that will be in the HOF someday. Going elsewhere will likely be a step down for him. I can see why nobody would pay much for him in that format.In a redraft, absolutely buy him now if you get him cheap and have the space to stash him. He should be back in Week 7 or Week 8 and GB offense doesn't look the same without him.

I bought Jennings low last week..... I guy in my PPR keep 2 league wanted Alfred Morris for him, I laughed and countered with Ryan Williams (pre-injury). I was kind of surprised he accepted.I know no one cares about my team, but the moral is: Make what you think might be a low ball offer, it can't hurt and might get accepted.

Well, not dynasty, but a keep 2 and transition 2 in a auction league. So, there is a chance I could keep him next year but not very likely.
 
I offered Donald Brown to the RB-needing Jennings owner. He should be able to expect a pretty solid effort this week vs the Jets. That's about all I'm willing to invest for a player who may not be 100% all year. It would be worth the risk though.

 
If you think you've got a good shot at the playoffs, why wouldn't you take a chance on him? His value is very low right now, especially if the Jennings owner is hurting and needs someone to play now. But when he eventually comes back, even if it's at 75%, he's almost certainly an upgrade over your current WR3.

Isn't it a groin injury and why would it last all season?

My bad, same general area. Cause he hurt it week 1, missed time and then couldn't finish the game week 4 and now will miss more time.

Same general area? Is your #### attached to the back of your thigh?

Inner thigh- back of thigh, yeah id say that's the same general area.
 
I traded some RB depth for Jennings a couple of weeks ago (Sproles for Jennings). I started him, and was excited when he caught a TD right away in the game. Of course, he re-injured his groin on the same damn play! I am hoping that he gets fully healed before he returns. I think I heard it reported that he swore not to come back until he is 100%.

Earliest I really wanna see him attempt to come back is week 8, and hopefully at 100%. Would be just in time to make the playoff push, and hopefully a run to the trophy. He could be one helluva WR2 or WR3 for those of us who have traded for him. Like someone else said, the Green Bay offense just doesn't look the same without him. Those 5/50 and 2TD games that Jones is putting up would be more like 7/130 and a 2TD's if it was Jennings.

Jennings is a better WR than he's given credit for around here. He's not just a product of the system and QBs in GB. I'm confident he would have been successful regardless of which team drafted him. Great guy, hard worker, smart player, and has real ability to get open vs quality NFL corners, and make difficult catches once he does.

Having said that, I am concerned he's done as a guy you can count on. As a Packer fan, I honestly hope I'm wrong, but the red flags are growing exponentially. He's really struggling to stay on the field, and this dates back to last year.

The Packers have played 5 games so far this year. He's finished two of the three he's played, and hasn't topped 40 yards yet.

Here's the Packers last 10 games:

INDY DNP

NO 1/9/1

SEA 6/35/0

CHI DNP

SF 5/34/0

NYG (Playoffs) 4/40/0

DET DNP

CHI DNP

KC DNP

OAK 2/20/0

Maybe its bad luck, and a bad stretch of his career. I guess I'd buy low if the price was very inexpensive. I don't think I'd be going out of my way to make a deal for him though.

 
Groin injures are tough on any player but for a wide out? Look no further than Andre Johnson last year. If you can get him cheap than sure go for it and pray he comes back strong.

 
The reason I've been trying to unload him is not just his injury this year. It's that he might not be with GB next year. Sure, he could end up somewhere good, but he's going to want

a fat contract, and despite not putting up a convincing argument to warrant such a thing, he will still want top WR money. GB won't pay that.

 
I think an x-factor with this discussion is what your record is...if you're off to a 5-0/4-1 record he could be a smart pick-up as you probably don't need him right now and may reap some benefits in a few weeks...if he's healthy he will produce...if you're off to a 1-4 record you may want to look elsewhere as he may have one of those lingering/game-time decision injuries...I'd be careful offering up a solid RB for him as this year seems to be turning into a RB war of attrition and any deals that involve giving away quality RBs can't be overly risky...

This post is wrong on so many levels. Jennings isn't "getting up there in age." He's barely 29. It has been shown that Wide Receivers can be much more effective into their 30s than running backs. Are Brandon Marshall (28), Roddy White (30), and Marques Colston (29) also getting up there? Also, Jennings is an elite talent. When he came into the league he was compared to Marvin Harrison in his very first training camp (by the coach who coaches Harrison as a rookie). He's always been excellent no matter how the team was doing or who was under center. Going elsewhere might be a step down for him, or maybe not. Green Bay has the deepest and best receiving corps in the NFL. There are lots of mouths to feed. If he were to find himself in a situation like Reggie Wayne is in this season, his value might actually increase.

In my dynasty league this has been almost as big of an objection in trade talks as him leaving GB,

Dynasty I get, talking this year and redraft:Mostly I'm starting to feel bad turning Cobb loose in trade on the idea Jennings would be back.Anyone think that this is going anywhere?Anyone offering for Jennings, if so what?

(He has rodgers so guess he dont need vick no more)

 
i dropped him in a 10-team redraft (i know, i know) a couple of weeks ago. replaced him with J Jones and haven't looked back. too many guys in GB, i can't count on him to be the automatic #1 or #2 guy there anymore. not worth the hassle.

Haha. I loved this post. AJ was out due to hammys last year.
 
I'm deep at RB and tried to trade DeMarco Murray or Ridley for him with the thought that he'd be good to go by fantasy playoff time. No go from the Jennings owner.

 
guys i am hearing that he is thinking about actually havin g the surgery and my opinion is that he will be back tt will keep him in the fold for two reasons one he makes everyone else so much better like the touchdown robber cobber and crabappletree and double j and two with him being hurt this year he will probably not get the huge offers he might have if he had gotten fifteen td balls and put up two grando receiving yards this year and also i unfortunately think that makes bulaga and finley expendable not that finly has done much except piss of rogers this year and drop passes like they have ebola all of the football anyways but long story short if you can get jennings at a good price i think it is worth the risk in keeper leagues becuse one i think he will be back with discount double check where he will form an awesome wonder twin powers activate duo again and two he will be better next year it is just going to take this year being done for that to happen so make it happen in your league and dominate and remember the more you knowhan the more you are a brohan

haha its his sthick. If you can understand it, he usually has good arguments.
 
More info...Jennings isn't coming back soon.

According to the Packer Report's Bill Huber, Greg Jennings' upcoming groin surgery could keep him out of the lineup for "an additional six weeks."

The abdominal tear on the outside edge of the muscles associated with six-pack abs is more commonly known as a sports hernia. Saints CB Jabari Greer ended up missing roughly six weeks after a similar surgery in early August. Jennings insists the injury is not season-ending ending in nature, but has cast doubt on his regular-season return. "Hopefully I can return before the season ends," said Jennings. "We'll see. But it's not season-ending." More than ever, we believe Randall Cobb and James Jones remain weekly fantasy starters through the fantasy playoffs. Cobb, in particular, is emerging as a WR1 candidate.

 
So.

CBS:

Now that Jennings has his surgery out of the way, the recovery process begins. Coach Mike McCarthy said Jennings is out a minimum of a few weeks, but the team is expecting Jennings back in 2012, barring a setback.

RW:
Greg Jennings underwent surgery Thursday to repair his rectus abdominal tear.

Jennings was scheduled to go under the knife Tuesday in Philadelphia, but Hurricane Sandy scrapped that appointment. With the weather now cleared out and the Philadelphia airport open, the delay is only a couple days. Jennings will miss anywhere from 3-6 weeks.

Still 94% owned in CBS.

3 weeks would be great, is that realistic?

 
He was dropped in my league today. For some reason, 3 weeks seems a little soon, but would you trust him in his first week back on the field?

He was dropped in my league too. Maybe I'm crazy, but I wouldn't drop him out into the waiver pool just on the hope that he comes back. At the very least, you'd think someone would pay SOMETHING for him.

Dropped in my league too. I can understand it. In a redraft I don't know what anyone would pay for him. I wouldn't give anything for him and won't put in a claim.

For me, it's dependent on roster size and the status of your team. If you are looking like a lock for the playoffs, and in particular if your team is light at receiver, he'd be attractive as a waiver addition. Unlike last year, the Packers figure to play at least through Week 16 at full capacity. If he is sufficiently healthy and/or another Packer receiver gets hurt, Jennings could play a big role in Weeks 14-16. Of course there's no guarantee he will, but what else is on the waiver wire that is better than any receiver in that offense?But a lot depends on your team composition, your record, and your available roster spots.
