Julio or Hakeem--Who's the better dynasty option? (1 Viewer)

[All Time Great]

To me this is a close call

Nicks--pros

size speed combo

already produced at a top 10 level

good running team

bonafide #1 target on his team

good qb

cons

injury prone

weather

tough passing division minus the Cowboys

Julio--pros

size speed combo

good running team

eliete talent in college

good qb

weak passing division

cons

inconsistent hands

not number 1 target

unproven

hasn`t scored a td yet

I think the Julio hype may be out of control but in my opinion I`d rather have Jones. Thoughts

 

[Sabertooth]

Hakeem.

 

[Dought Man]

Hakeem..and it isn't close

 

[Hendo]

ill be the catalyst here and say Julio. granted they are both really good options but to me Julio has the higher upside and if he reaches it(i personally think its likely) he'll produce higher then Nicks. It's a gamble though... nicks already gave us a top 10 season.

 

[All Time Great]

I`m not being argumentative at all but why Hakeem and not close. Thoughts

 

[BroadwayG]

Jones has the potential to maybe become a guy like Nicks. Nicks is already Nicks. You're only getting 1 year younger with Jones.

 

[netnalp]

Hakeem. Because he is the #1 target for his team and doesn't have to share receptions with Roddy White. In about 5 years when Roddy is 34 and on the decline I can see Julio would probably be the #1 target for that team, then I can see him producing better than Nicks.

 

[Casting Couch]

Hakeem and it IS close.

 

[eakfootball]

Hakeem by a mile.

 

[Lester Long]

This may be the 1st time I have read a Julio Jones post where I was on the side of Julio Jones.

I would go with Jones. he has looked pretty good as a rookie which to me speaks volumes of what he will be. WR's rarely ever come out the gate with a 1000 yard season (which I believe Jones will do as he is on pace 1100). Colston and Boldin and Randy Moss come to mind. but when they pick up quick like that they usually have good long careers. plus Jones will have Ryan as his QB for much of his career which is a nice thing.Not to mention he outplaying Nicks right now. not sure if it the best thing for this season (although it may be) but I have confidence it will be better for the future.

 

[Topes]

I am fond of Brandon.

 

[Lester Long]

I am fond of Brandon.

Maybe you should ask him out on a date.

 

[One More Rep]

I would take Julio but its really close

This.

 

[runner06]

I think it's close enough where each person needs to make their own call (i.e. actually read up on each player rather then pulling each one off some rankings site). I think Hakeem is a bit overrated in dynasty. I've seen him around #4 in most rankings. You could put him there but I'd argue you could put him as low as #11 too. I guess I couldn't see myself putting Julio Jones ahead of A.J. Green so I guess I'd take Hakeem Nicks but it is very close.

 

[cmv5]

This is going to be closer than people think. I usually let the guy who is the better red zone option be the deciding factor. The problem that I see so far is, I don't know if Julio Jones has even been thrown to in the red zone. Nicks, so far, is a red zone stud.

This gets me thinking abou the fade pass. It seems there are many qbs that don't even throw them. Why is that?

Here is a nice video of Julio's ups, by the way.

 

[10tihwj]

All things aren't equal, and so you have to factor in Nicks' 5 missed games in two years and make a choice as to whether that is a trend that will continue. I lean on the side that he is a bit injury-prone, which makes this way closer than most are saying. If Nicks is a low top 10 WR but misses 2-3 games a year and Jones is in that ballpark with no injuries, the age difference isn't the difference. It's Jones' ability to stay on the field that could be a factor.

 

[thehornet]

nicks but julio's going to be good.

 

[alg]

Relative value is based on past performance, pedigree, expectations and opportunity. This usually means that past performance is weighted heavier in the equation than any other factor. It also means that most FFB owners miss their optimum window of opportunity:

Julio is averaging around 7 targets per game, a goodly sum for a rookie. Especially when you consider that Ryan had other, and great options. This after his 3rd pro game, and against TB's best CB. This does not work against him - it suggests his future performance in this offense. To those that think he will be the WR1 after White hits 34 will be in for a rude awakening. I bet Julio is 1A to White's 1B by the end of next year. We probably had this same discussion after STL picked Hold around 1.06 - when Bruce was a star.

Nicks is a terrific WR. I would not be surprised, however, if Julio is picked before him in dynasty formats next year. Especially if he dose not stay on the field.

[manny]

Julio's ceiling is higher than Nicks'. That's not really debatable, because Julio is an elite athletic specimen, while Nicks isn't. Nicks has special ball skills, however, which we'll have to see whether Julio possesses or not. I wouldn't fault you for going either way on this one, until we see more from Julio, as we've seen him in 3 games total.

Julio could end up an Andre Johnson type WR. If he lives up to that, you were probably smart to take him before Nicks. Nicks is the more sure bet though at this point, and is reminiscent of Michael Irvin.

 

[King of the Jungle]

Surprised by the responses. Nicks is a playmaker, Julio has put up stats because he is the third target on a team who is playing behind. Need to see more before Julio is within 15 spots of Nicks.

So, as a second year WR, Nicks had a 16 game pace of 1300 yards and 14 TD's. And honestly, I don't think that's his ceiling, given that he was, as mentioned, a second year WR, and furthermore, not fully healthy. I think any JJ owner would be ecstatic if you told them that he is capable of putting up 1300-14.No idea how you can say that JJ has a higher ceiling than Nicks.

Also, Nicks may not have the freak of nature measurables that a guy like Julio has, but he is absolutely an elite athletic specimen. Some aspects of what make a guy athletic are simply not measurable by any specific metric. Just watch the guy play and it's clear as day that he is freakishly talented.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Hakeem obviously has a bit more value, but I'd take Julio.

Better QB, dome (fantasy playoff games), more athletic. I think his ceiing is higher than Nicks. He just toasted one of the better DB's in the league (in his third game) to the tune of 100+ yards.

Nicks is superb, don't get me wrong. I am extremely high on him - he really reminds me of Michael Irvin. But Julio is on another level in terms of athleticism and physical ability. He's bigger, stronger, faster, can jump higher, more explosive, everything. But like you said, that doesn't mean he'll be a better receiver, because playing receiver is more than just having those traits. What makes Nicks special is his ball skills, and that alone can make a guy who isn't as physically gifted a better football player. But in terms of "ceiling" and "potential," as of right now, Julio's is higher based on his physical abilities, until he proves otherwise. And just because a guy may have a higher ceiling doesn't mean that they will hit that ceiling, obviously - so just because Nicks had a monster 2nd year, it does not by definition mean that no one else can have a higher ceiling than he.

Fair points. But let me pose a question:Given that we know Nicks is capable of 95-1300-14 over 16 games, and we can therefore assume that his ceiling is probably higher than that (I won't speculate as to how much higher), how high do you think Julio's ceiling is?

 

[tenaka]

I've got to agree with the confusion over Julio having a higher ceiling. In any given year, Nicks has the potential to end the year as the top WR. What higher ceiling is there than that? He may not ever get drafted #1, but he is certainly capable of finishing there once or twice in his career.

 

[massraider]

Just so I am crystal clear here:

Nicks doesn't have the upside of Jones, who could be an Andre Johnson, who has never scored as many TDs as Nicks scored in his second year.

Do I have that right?

This probably needs to be more of a general discussion of the stomach-churning term 'upside', but just because a guy hasn't done diddly, doesn't mean he has more upside than a guy that has done diddly.

Physical skills are only part of upside, and the fact is, they don't really factor too much into 'upside' once a player is in the pros. Because really, all the guys playing WR in the NFL are pretty impressive specimens.

If that is the only factor in determining upside, let alone saying it's not debatable, then Wes Welker has never had the upside of Troy Williamson. Fantasy upside is determined by the QB, the team, surrounding talent, offensive strategy, etc. I like AJ Green, a lot. But I am concerned about his dynasty prospects because he plays for the Bengals.

Just like to see ONE link to a dynasty league where a Nicks owner traded him straight up for Julio Jones.

I think Julio's ceiling is being a physically dominant WR similar or greater than Terrell Owens in his prime. I think you have to be very impressed with Nicks' numbers from last year, but until he does it over the span of several years, you have to be careful assuming that he will continue to put up numbers at that rate. So basically, I think when you look at talent (and in Julio's case, and for fantasy purposes you factor in his situation) I think it is very plausible to assume that he can hit the numbers you posted over a span of years consistently at a higher probability than Nicks can. But it is a risk, and I'm not even saying I'd take Julio over Nicks. I just don't think it is at all crazy to take the risk and go with Julio, all things considered. Whether the differential in talent between the two is significant enough to warrant that risk is up for debate. I, personally, would probably go with Nicks, but would not fault someone at all for going all-in and taking Julio.

Great post!Ball skills? Hands? Situation? Body control? Chemistry with QB? All of those things determine the ceiling of a WR. If Wes Welker was on the 49ers would he even be mentioned in the top 25 instead of being a top 7 PPR receiver. Roddy White is not nearly as physically gifted as Julio Jones, but I would doubt if Julio surpasses him in the next 3 years. The chemistry between Ryan and White is that great right now. Nicks has that chemistry with Eli already. Nicks was a top 3 receiver in points per game last year and is only a year older. For me Nicks helps you win the next 3 years much more than Julio does in that period. That being said, I think you have to be nuts to take the guy that can jump a little higher or run a little faster over someone who has already performed as a top 5 commodity at their position. Hakeem is certainly an elite talent in his own right and is the clear choice to me. WIN NOW PEOPLE, in 3 years both could be out of the league, this is the NFL.

I do agree with the win now philosophy, and if the situation were reversed and I had Nicks, not Julio, I wouldn't make the trade. He's proven he can be a legit #1 guy. However, I am starting to get very concerned about Nicks' ability to stay healthy. As I posted in the Dez thread earlier today. Staying healthy for the season is a skill. So far, Nicks appears to be marginal at it. Let's just say if I were a Nicks owner in dynasty, I'd be cautiously optimistic.

 

[spider321]

Nicks is a young top-5 NFL receiver.

Jones is a young receiver that you hope will one day become a top-5 NFL receiver.

You'd be foolish to choose Jones over Nicks.

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Julio's going to end up with one of the best rookie WR seasons ever.

 

[KentGraham10]

This is tough. I didn't watch the Falcons game, but when you are targeted 17 times in a game, you are obviously in some sort of rapport with your QB. Consensus seems to be that Jones > Nicks in terms of skill set, and now Jones' situation is also starting to look favorable.

With two seasons of production under his belt, we know Nicks will produce in this offense. He has a great situation, and as long as Eli is the QB, he will be the #1 target in this offense. What it comes down to is do you think the Falcons offense will continue to rely so heavily on the pass in the years to come? History suggests they will try to become a more run oriented team, and in that scenario, how will there be enough opportunity for both Jones and White? Tough call. Those who believe talent always wins out have to go for Jones. I'm in the camp that Nicks' is talented enough to be a WR1 and is in a much better situation going forward.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

I took Nicks in this before, and I still do.

But I wouldn't be surprised to see Julio's career FULL of Marshall (in Denver) like 100-plus catch seasons. And he's more explosive than Marshall. Crazy potential. I've always liked him more than Green because of his physicality and frame. I don't think being targeted 17 times raises his risk for injury like I do with Green...his thin frame just freaks me out. Off topic, I know.

 

[D'OHtis]

Really wouldn't be surprising to see Julio with better #'s this year than Roddy (which tells you a lot about his potential)

You see Julio get a lot of the short crossing routes than would have unquestionably gone to Roddy last year. Julio is a better RAC WR, not to mention gets better seperation.

Just read a blurb on Rotoworld and TD's aside, Nicks/Julio on pace for similar #'s this year.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Julio looks to have a bright future, but Roddy White will limit Julio's ceiling as long as he is around. He's been off the charts on measureables ever since he was the #1 recruit going to Bama. Measureables only mean so much though.

If were going physical skills combined with pure talent, after Megatron, I think arguments can be made that Nicks is #2 ahead of Fitz and Andre. The guy just catches balls and makes plays as often if not more than those guys. I feel like every time I see the Giants, he makes 2-3 ridiculous catches/plays that most guys dont make (hell, I saw that tonight and was just switching over to the Giants game occasionally). He's probably the 2nd biggest goalline threat after Megatron.

The only edge I would give to Julio right now is durability. Nicks has missed a couple games each of his first 2 years, if that continues, its probably wont be a good sign once he's in his 30's, but there is plenty of time to see if thats the case.

I like Julio a lot, I have a feeling he will be next years Dez Bryant - the guy that everyone has as a Top 15 WR and wants on their team, but I really cant see myself ever taking him over Nicks, certainly wont as long as Roddy is on the Falcons.

 

[jurb26]

Wasn't R. White dinged up for todays game? Is that why Jones saw so many targets?

Not really. I liked Jones over Nicks outright. When you could get a lot more (in addition to Julio) at the time, if was a no brainer.Type of move that separates the upper echelon in dynasty leagues from the consistently mediocre.

Like nicks. But he's an expensive risk. The other two are also risks but cheaper. (sal cap)

Julio Jones reminds me so much of Terrell Owens, and he did it as a rookie. He is explosive, and tremendous after the catch. While I like Nicks, Jones is the better dynasty play.

Nicks just dominated a playoff game, and plays in an offense that is very receiver friendly recently, with a consistent, good QB. Julio had a great rookie season and certainly has elite physical attributes. But I don't think you can definitively say that Jones is the better dynasty play. Nicks is young as well.
