FE, this is terrible. Aside from the fact that they are white, they have in common. Walter is a big physical WR at 6'3 215. Welker is shifty little guy who is super quick in and out of his breaks. If you are going to play the match the white guy to a similar white guy, at leaast match him up with McCaffrey or Jurevicius.
I meant it in a "possession type WR". No more, no less. Granted, he's a lot bigger than Welker, but he's not a burner. A guy who is going to catch a fair number of passes for first downs and be a target in the Red Zone. That's what I was intimating. Sorry for wrongly labeling the white guys.
#2 guy? Walter may be the #1 guy in Schaubs eyes.
I think Walter will. I have had him and Schaub on my bench in multiple leagues since around the beginning of the season when word out of Houston was that Walter reminded Kubiak of Ed McCaffrey. I think this offense will be productive this year especially considering Houston's defense is not that great.
Thanks, that's the direction I was leaning. It is a ppr league. I stashed Engram a couple of weeks ago. Berrian started for me last week due to byes/injuries, but I don't have much confidence in him going forward. The QB situation there probably won't be very good all year.
I was always a fan of Easy Ed and the first time I say Walter play he was the first guy I thought. http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index...=306001&hl=
starting him and Schaub this week.
Same here. What should we expect?
He's going in as my flex in a receiving yardage heavy league in front of Lance Moore, Jonathan Stewart and Lendale White this week.I got him in a trade for Zach Miller and haven't used him yet. He's put up two nice games in the last 3 weeks and 3 out of 5. I'm hoping he can get about 5 for 75. Anything above that would be awesome.MCguidance said:
You guys are swaying me to start him over Driver as well this week.

in a ppr I think he is golden going forward and is an every week WR3(thats what we all drafted him to be, right??), in non-ppr you are correct about him being an every other week guy. In saying that I think he is a good start this week in any scoring format.
Those numbers are actually from my PPR league. I was going to separate, but PPR or not, the every other week thing has held pretty true. His last two games vs JAX:12/160/08/76/2I know that the every other week thing can get almost to the point of superstition, but this one has been eerily consistent all year. I'm leaning toward thinking that this one breaks the trend.
PNB: It's a mixed bag of people, but I don't want to get into a WDIS, just looking for expectations vs JAX. Suffice to say, I have 3-4 similarish options, no clear cut "start me" guy for the flex.To Man with a Plan RE: JAX poor pass D, it's performances like 3/27 against DET that concern me this week. I know, I may be overthinking.
I think the HOU offense is still pretty hot, I have no problem starting both Johnson and Walter this week.
I'm actually doing the opposite and starting Walter over Hines Ward this week.
That was a weird game. The Texans jumped all over the Lions I think 28-0 or something like that then they went conservative.The Lions made a comeback but the Texans were still sitting on the ball.
I am just interested for my purposes (in seeing what other people think of other players) who you might be considering starting ahead of Walter this week. Nobody is going to accuse you of a WDIS if you answer me.I wouldn't let the DET game influence you. DET is a team you can run on in a big way and JAX is not. In that particular game, HOU didn't pass much and all that they did went to AJ. With Slaton banged up for the past few weeks, it seems to make sense that HOU leans on the passing game this week. Slaton will play and get ~15 carries IMO, but I don't see them giving him 20+ carries unless they get up by a few scores late in the game.Hey, it's FF and nothing is a sure thing, but I feel like you are definitely overthinking things here, but like I said .... it would be nice to know (for my purposes) who your other possible option is here.
huh? now a post like this one is trying to turn this into a WDIS thread (shameless!!!).... i just wanted to know who PatrickT was considering
I think you definitely have a legit dilemma, but for me this week the dilemma would be more of ... "which Cotchery will show up against a bad DEN pass D" instead of "is this the hit or miss week for Walter." With a PPR league, I would have to be leaning in Walter's direction at this pointOk, but if I get banned, it's your fault.SJax (only if he had two, confirmed, full practices)CotcheryJLewisAvery
That's part of it. I can see Jets vs Denver turning into Jets vs St. Louis, where they just run the ball all day and throw to Keller up the seam.I think you definitely have a legit dilemma, but for me this week the dilemma would be more of ...
