Lloyd's value if/when Tebow takes over? (1 Viewer)

No Nova

I might be missing Andre Johnson for a few and my second WR is Holmes. should I trade Jahvid best straight up for Lloyd? or does Lloyd lose significant value if/when Tebow goes in?

 
His targets & numbers stayed about the same when Tebow came in last year for the final 3 games, though some of the catches were a bit flukey.

Not sure Lloyd is worth any starting RB though. He's an OK WR3.

 
I think Lloyd's value remains unchanged with Tebow. As a Decker and Lloyd dynasty owner, I think the two are basically interchangeable right now as a WR2 or WR3 option.

 
2 is all I get? Is this because I posted in the wrong forum? Thanks to those who responded - I appreciate it.

 
Why is anyone assuming Tebow will be taking over anything?
The Broncos are getting creamed out there. Orton is failing to inspire confidence. This appears to be a situation ripe for a change.
Sadly, I don't think it matters. It's pretty clear that Fox doesn't think he can play.
Exactly my point. The staff members whom drafted Tebow no longer work in Denver. The Broncos issues aren't on that side of the ball.

Probably. Also because a search of "Llyod" would have answered your question and because Resident A gave you the factual response based on last year's games. Wasn't that enough?

Exactly.It's not like starting a thread entitles you to a certain number of replies. If you want replies, start a thread that is general enough and provocative enough to be interesting to a wide range of people.What we have here is a completely unveiled "should I make this trade?" thread that 1) is too specific to be of much interest to most posters here and 2) really belongs in the ACF. You're lucky that you got the responses you did before the thread was either locked or moved.I'm honestly not trying to be a ####, but like the previous poster said, what more do you want?

While it is true that most of the Bronco's issues are not on that side of the ball the team still must think about next season at a certain point. Odds are that they will lose to San Diego and be sitting at 1-4 going into the bye week. At a certain point if you are going to lose anyway you might as well see what the kid has so that you can go into the draft next year with a better idea of the talent on the roster.

Decker appears to be the main guy in the red zone and overall. Lloyd is going to be feast or famine depending on how many deep looks he gets each week.

Lloyd seems like a sell right now... that offense cant support two starting fantasy WR's.

I think that the DEN coaching staff already believes that Tebow isn't going to be a good NFL QB, and they will be cutting their losses and moving on. Why play him if they don't think he's the future?

I suppose it would depend on if they think Orton is in the future plans as well. If neither are why not give the shot to the younger player who will bring in much more attention and create a ton of buzz. Worst case scenario he falls flat on his face an they lose, which they are already doing.

Disagree that the offense cannot support two starting WRs. So far this season, Decker and Lloyd have combined to account for 56% of Orton's passing yards, 46% of Orton's targets, 45% of his completions, and 50% of his TDs (all to Decker, or course). And that is not taking Lloyd's injury during the game in week 1 or his absence in week 2 into account.Their combined total projects out to 152/2132/16. With a 50/50 split in points that would net them 231 points each in PPR, good for #12 and #13 last year.With a 60/40 split in points, net of 276 and 185 good for #5 and #28 last year.Now, perhaps you are projecting a downturn in Denver's offensive projection which is certainly possible (although it seems likely they will be playing a lot of catch-up this year). But even if you project a 20% decrease in productivity moving forward across the board, they still project out as low-end WR2's with a 50/50 split.In sum, no guarantees in life, but I would not discount the possibility they will both be very fantasy relevant for the rest of the year...
 
Whoa...guess I needed to bump it during the right time.....

Sorry for putting it in this forum, but the direction in which this thread has gone is fitting,

Tebow by week 9. Isn't all this controversy hurting Fox? He's definitely signed up for 2 years, right? So, it's not so much what happens this year, but what happens next when the decision will be made to keep Fox or hire someone else. Yes/no?

 
Tebow is a great match for Lloyd. Tebow loves throwing the ball up to his guys when they have single coverage and Lloyd has great ball skills when he has a QB that's willing to do that.
