hmmm, floyd 4 redzone targets to legedu's 2. floyd has 12 targets and only converts 3 for catches. that is pure trash. keep that up and buster davis will pass you on the depth chart. legedu has 8 targets and converts 5 for catches. im not exactly sure what this unconditional man love for floyd is coming from. even the stats paint a different picture

12 targets total of those 4-5 were not even close to catchable. still a bad night overall for the bolts WR core.

 

[Jason Wood]

I'm shocked to see that Naanee is rostered in the vast majority of my leagues. I expected him to be gone in deeper competitive leagues, but I didn't expect him to be off the board in a few leagues I do with some college buddies and co-workers online. He's seemingly owned almost everywhere already. Kudos to those who grabbed him as a late rounder.

Did you watch the game? Rivers passes to Floyd in the RZ were horrible! Floyd caught everything he had a real shot at last night.

did u watch the game? how many easy balls did floyd just flat out drop? i mean invest in some dvr or something before you speak out like this

There sure is a lot of eye poking going on in here. Hey, let's remember, sometimes opinions may not be the same. That's why they play the game.

Once again, I see a thread I am interested in have a bunch of new posts since I last checked in - and I get ready to open it full of anticipation for a ton of new discussion, some further insights, etc. - only to see a bunch of personal back and forth that nobody cares about.

As someone who drafted Naanee in the 15th as my WR5, I watched the first 3 quarters last night with interest to see how he was used, and I was pleased to see him get the targets in critical situations - a couple of 3rd downs, in the red zone, etc., and I went to bed thinking that he would be a serviceable WR3/Flex to cover bye weeks -turns out that he went on to have a 4th down reception later, as well as a big TD - doesn't change my overall perception of him too much, maybe he has a higher ceiling than I thought, but who knows.

Keeping in mind that there's a chance that VJax plays for the Chargers this year, I definitely think he's worth a pickup and will be a more dependable spot start than a lot of other names in his vicinity who will be more boom or bust types.

Rivers definitely favors Naanee over Floyd and Davis...

Better watch out, Just Win Baby will slap you for saying that.

Agreed 100%, let's keep it somewhat civil folks. Information is much better than trying to be the smartest guy in the room.

 

[CaptainHook]

i think floyd is still the guy to own but this guy looks like an OK spotstart in deep leagues(similar to floyd last year).

 

[goodoldalky]

I think if SD felt like they needed VJax, they would pay him. I think they are totally comfortable with Gates, Floyd, Naanee, and Davis. I know it may not look like it by the numbers due to the weather and Rivers' struggles last night, but all along I think SD was ready to move on from Jackson because they like the other guys they have.

IMO they will pay McNeill before VJax. They have flat out said that LT McNeill is in their "long term plans" and Jackson "is not". When they would pay McNeill, I don't know, because AJ Smith seems to be ruthless and has totally unrealistic expectations, but that's what I see here.

 

[Mortimer Ichabod]

Limitless potential...Limitless...We are only seeing the beginning of what Naanee can do.

 

[angman]

Solid WR4, spot starter as a WR3 in 10-12 team PPR leagues.

seriously, post facts and not opinions. i can post opinions all day but that doesnt make me right. nothing u said is even worthy of being acknowledged

Really? Is that a fact or an opinion?

I'll correct someone who says that, because it's wrong. As I already posted about switz's statement.

I wonder how many good games from Naanee it will take for you to jump off the Floyd train and jump on the Naanee train? My guess is that you won't out of spite no matter how well Naanee plays

Stats don't tell the whole story. Not trying to be argumentative, but I would bet that after the year is over it will be much clearer who Rivers prefers, and it won't be Floyd.

 

[SSOG]

Stats don't tell the whole story.

Agreed. I tweeted during the game that it seemed like Naanee was Rivers' go-to WR, and twitter seemed to agree. Chris Wesseling wrote in his latest rotoworld waiver wire article that Naanee seems to be the guy that Rivers is looking for. These are all smart people who are reacting to what they saw in real time.

Big Naanee fan here, but I would caution those ready to declare Naanee "Rivers go-to-guy" for the future. Floyd has excellent hands as well and Rivers is the type of guy who takes advantage of matchups as opposed to force feeding one guy. Perhaps Turner and Rivers felt Naanee had better matchups on 3rd downs last night?I own Naanee in a couple leagues b/c I thought he was undervalued at draft time. But I'd trade him in a heartbeat for Floyd if I had the opportunity.

Redraft, I would too. Dynasty? I'd rather stick with Naanee.

I drafted both Floyd and Nanee (last pick) knowing that one of them would be a nice surprise this year (if VJax is gone for good). Floyd is technically the #1 WR and he's good. Not Vjax good but if you have Rivers throwing to you, you can be a good WR and have great fantasy stats.

If you watched Nanee last year, you saw that he made the most of his limited opportunities. He only started 1 Game but had 27 targets, 24 receptions, and 1 drop. Guy can catch.

Gates is the #1 receiving option in SD. If last night is indicative of how he's going to be covered all year, Floyd or Nanee (or both?) are going to put up #s. Rivers threw for nearly 300 yards and 2 TDS in a monsoon. There were some uncharacteristic drops, slips, and poor throws last night but I'd definitely blame this on the weather and not their skillsets.

I'm still higher on Floyd than Naanee right now. Floyd got a ton of targets. Nanee has the better #s but Floyd will get his. When the year's over tho I wouldn't be surprised if either of them had the best WR stats on that team.

Hey... we're not supposed to agree!!! haha

 

[Insein]

I was a year too early on this guy. Drafted him last year in the last round and received a resounding "Who the f' is that?" from everyone in my league. Didn't pan out last year. This year he went in the 15th round right before I could grab him. Oh well.

Jason, Blame it on SIG BLOOM!!! He's been on about this guy the whole summer.... Thanks Bloom!

Stats don't always tell the whole story. I watched the whole game last night, and I watched almost all of the Chargers games last year. I follow the Chargers fairly closely. In this case, I think the target stats do tell the story.

If you think Naanee was Rivers' go to WR, how do you explain Floyd getting:More overall targetsMore end zone targetsMore combined 3rd and 4th down targetsMore 4th quarter targetsMaybe I'm not understanding what you and the twitter crowd mean by "go to"...

 

[Balco]

I had both on my dynasty roster at the end of last year, but when it came time to pare my roster, Floyd was my last cut. I liked what I saw of Naanee last night. Season is one game old, though, and Floyd is a very capable receiver.

 

[Tau837]

If you watched Nanee last year, you saw that he made the most of his limited opportunities. He only started 1 Game but had 27 targets, 24 receptions, and 1 drop. Guy can catch.

He actually had 29 targets according to FBG. Is averaging 10.1 ypr and scoring 2 TDs on 29 targets really making the most of limited opportunities?

Gates is the #1 receiving option in SD. If last night is indicative of how he's going to be covered all year, Floyd or Nanee (or both?) are going to put up #s.

Agree with all of this.

 

[two_dollars]

Nanee can be a fill in on bye weeks as a wr3 in PPR, Floyd is a solid wr3 every week.

Just Win Baby has owned this thread. Here, the stats DO tell the story.. who cares what "twitter" thinks.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Awful lot of people here are 100% sure they know what's going to happen.

Learned the hard way that the only thing I'm 100% sure about is that I'm never 100% sure about anything.

I agree with most on this thread. If there is a WR to pick up off the waiver wire, it would be Clayton and not Naanee. As many said, Naanee has a lot of competition for targets where as Clayton appears to be the only deal in town. Naanee would be a great consolation prize, but he should not be the #1 WW priority if Clayton is available.

Good enough to catch 10 balls though- i will take my chances with him and Bradford thank you

Throwing out what, 5 years of sub par play and banking on him suddenly learning how to catch just doesn't seem like a well thought out plan.

So how do you account for those catches....stick em?Bottom line a change of scenery, a young QB who you know lobbying for you- all sports are games of confidence and i feel he probably has gained some This will be the year of ressurgent players- BMW, Clayton,etc....

I'm not the one banking on them. Clayton is one of those guys that has always seemed like a breakout candidate and yet he just continues to under perform. He is a fast starter. Averaging out his last three Week 1 performances, we get an average of 12.9 ppg. Averaging out his past two full seasons, we get 5.6 ppg. This past weekend was actually his weakest Week 1 performance since 2007. So I'm not saying he can't produce, I just wouldn't count on it. This little spike isn't a good indicator of future success based on his history.
