Jerricho Cotchery (1 Viewer)

[PahtyTom]

I'm trying to get Cotchery in every league at this point. He's 12th overall in targets, and higher than Coles, is catching a higher % than Coles, and averaging a much higher ypc. Also, at this point the Jets offense is throwing a ton and having success and I see no reason for that trend to stop with such a terrible defense and mediocre run game. Everything is there except for the TDs at this point, but that is just luck as all the indicators point to future success. Strong buy IMO.

I own Cotchery as my 4th WR (behind Owens, CJ, and Fitz). I've been trying to package him in a few 2-for-1 trades to upgrade elsewhere, but he just doesn't seem to have a high perceived value. The fact that he has no TDs, has considerably less name recognition, and is generally seen as the #2 behind Coles should all work in your favor if you're trying to get him. For these reasons, I'd think a particularly strong tactic would be to feign interest in another player and suggest Cotchery as a supplemental player in the deal. If I didn't own Cotchery, I'd be going after him now.

wow - nice WR group!The only thiung that worries me about cotchery is that he doesn't seem to get the < 10 yard TD looks that Coles gets. But he's my WR3 and I'm not complaining...

Good points - I had been trying to do the same, and when I would tell the other owners how many receiving yards the guy has, they would be genuinely surprised. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to convince some owner to pull the trigger and get a deal done. Until he shows up on a highlight reel with a touchdown catch, his value will be lower than it should be.

 

[wickster33]

He'll have much more value if Kellen Clemens takes over from Chad. Pennington's 5 yard patterns just doesn't make the best use of Jerrico's talents.

 

[yinzer]

I guess I would call him a buy low, but that would probably be solely on name recognition.

I wasn't a huge fan coming into this season, but from what I've seen, he's shown me he is a talented WR and probably even better than Coles in my eyes. As well as consistency. He's exceeded expectations in my eyes.

From what I recall, he had quite a few long TD's last year, and as someone stated, those will come. I mean, theres a lot of good WR's with only 1 TD's (I believe Marvin, Fitz, Ward, and maybe even Walker only have one. Dont quite me on that though).

From I see from them and their run game though, I certainly believe he'll end up Top 20 or close to it by years end.

Nice topic

Agree. He shouldn't be a buy low based on performance but he is based on lack of name recognition.

The shark move here IMO is to keep Cotchery and trade one of the others who have "name value". In particular, if I were you, I'd look to trade Fitz. You should get more for him than Cotchery due to the name recognition, and meanwhile, you are keeping a guy who could be just as good from here forward IMO.

cotchery owners know he is underrated...and most arent selling.

Not sure I feel he's better than Fitz but I like your thinking. Considering his options, this might be his best move to improve his team.

 

[BroadwayG]

I'm going to try to turn Cotchery and Portis in to LJ

 

[Loan Sharks]

Exactly, I can sell a higher name recognition WR for a nice price and put Cotchery in the lineup with very little if any drop off in production, I wouldn't be able to get what Cotchery is worth on the market.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Cotchery's next 4 opponents are the Giants, Philly, Cincy, and Buffalo again; so he has some nice games ahead, which should help drive his value up.

I just finished aq deal of basically Kyle Boller (in a start 2 QB league) for Cotchery by acting like I wanted B. Marshall first. Then lowered my offer and asked for Cotchery.By the way, did any of you see the short catch he had just before halftime on Sunday? Caught it one-handed behind him while spinning around.

 

[yinzer]

Am considering offering Driver for Cotchery, possibly straight up but I might add KJones/Jacobs to it and try to get Jamal Lewis. I love Driver and Favre looks like he going to have a near career year, but Jennings and Jones are getting an awful lot of that love too.

However, I just saw how Cotchery has 382 yards receiving, making him 4th in the NFL (Im almost positive both Moss and CJ are already ahead of him so tonight doesn't matter either.

After seeing that, I dont see how you could get Cotchery from the owner unless you offer them a Top 25 RB, and a clear cut one at that. I dont think you could get him straight up for a WR unless its a Top 10 wideout. Even then, I wouldnt trade him for name guys like Fitz, Holt, Evans, etc.

Wow. Didnt know he was averaging 95 yards a game

 

[chasyone]

He'll have much more value if Kellen Clemens takes over from Chad. Pennington's 5 yard patterns just doesn't make the best use of Jerrico's talents.

I agree. I have Chad and Kellen in a dynasty league where I start Cotchery.I like his value better with Clemens but until that happens he is not going to get the TD looks that Coles does from Chad.Im trying to get Branch for him.

 

[Mr. Mojo]

My only concern with him is that they have only thrown to Coles in the end zone.

The first game it was 2 passes in a row.

What pisses me off was reading before the season the Cotchery was the main end zone target last year.

I know all leagues are different, but here is a conversation I had with a fellow league-mate regarding Cotchery. I think it reaffirms just how little non-Cotchery owners value him. This guy was considering an offer from another owner where he would trade Bulger for Santana Moss. He asked if I wanted Bulger. I told him only if the price is really cheap. He asked who my receivers are. I said he isn't getting TO, Chad Johnson, or Fitz for Bulger. When I said I wouldn't trade Cotchery for Bulger, he began laughing. He then said I'd be lucky if HE even considered giving up Bulger for Cotchery. So, in the end, I guess Bulger and/or Santana Moss > Cotchery.

Yeah, I figure I'll end up doing this. I just picked up Fitz in a trade this week, and I just can't bring myself to trade a player without at least having that player in my lineup for a week.

 

[zamboni]

Patience, Cotchery owners. The TDs will come - it's only a matter of time. Cotch is getting a ton of looks, and is a great red zone target as well. All 4 of Coles' TDs have been of the end zone fade variety, but there's only so many of those that they can execute.

Cotch is getting better and better every game, both from a fantasy and NFL standpoint. My favorite Jet - just love the guy.

 

[CrossEyed]

I'm a Cotchery owner in 2 leagues and not selling. The guy is turning into a stud.

 

[SpecOpLoad]

 

[kbreaker]

He was waived in my league Sunday AM. I'll be picking him up today when claims open up.

 

[Shrek]

Traded Berrian to get Cotchery a week ago. Cotchery's targets will turn into a few TD's soon. Plus it's a PPR league, so the trade was almost a steal.

It's not that Crotchery is better than Fitz, it's that he's far worse guppy-perceived value. You can get a lot more for Fitz on name recognition. IMHO, name recognition has no value on its own other than for outgoing trades.I'm in the same situation as the OP (Cotchery is 4th WR behind Wayne, Fitz, Driver for me) and I'm shopping Fitz for this very reason.

exactly what i did LAST week... no response/counter/decline though

 

[circelli17]

My question would be, why on Earth would anyone sell him low? Cotchery has already become a must-start option in PPR leagues

 

[Bobcat10]

Exactly, I can sell a higher name recognition WR for a nice price and put Cotchery in the lineup with very little if any drop off in production, I wouldn't be able to get what Cotchery is worth on the market.

In a way, this is "buying low" on Cotchery even though he is on your team already.For example, I turned JLew and Holmes (bigger name than Cotchery) into Roy Williams and JJones. The other owner wouldn't do it for Cotchery, but I feel just fine with Cotchery as my #3 starting WR right now.

 

[Hoh]

#18 WR after 4 weeks (PPR), and thats without a TD.

 

[sheerterror]

I'm making a play for him this week, trying to move Crayton after his big game. We'll see if the owner bites.

 

[Steven Mann]

I moved Curry 2 weeks ago for him... Feeling Pretty.. Pretty.. Pretty.. Pretty Good right about now.
