Marques Hagans - STL WR (1 Viewer)

[TommyGilmore]

Issac Bruce, Dante Hall and Dane Looker are all OUT for Week 6. That leaves St. Louis with just 3 WRs on the roster -- Torry Holt, Drew Bennett, and Marques Hagans (plus rookie Brandon Williams who was just signed on Tuesday).

So with Holt seeing triple-coverage and Bennett still banged up, doesn't it seem like Hagans could be a super-sleeper this week?

I just picked him up also, he may return punts also, which I get some points for.

no not a shark play

Came across this blurb while doing research tonight.

Here's something I'm getting tired of saying: injuries are killing the Rams. The cliche term "injury bug" actually seems to apply -- it began on the offensive line, then the backfield, then the secondary, and now the receivers.

With Isaac Bruce, Dante Hall, and Dane Looker ruled out for this week's game, Torry Holt and Drew Bennett will start. Problem is, Holt's missed practice with a swollen knee and Bennett is dealing with a nagging quad injury. So that might mean more work for Marques Hagans.

Hagans, a college quarterback converted to receiver, will take over as the team's third receiver, inherit Hall's job as return man, and, because the Rams carry only two quarterbacks, serve as the emergency quarterback in case Gus Frerotte goes down and Marc Bulger's ribs cannot stand up to backup duty. Forget Danny DeVito, Hagans is the real renaissance man.

It's possible, and likely, that Hagans sees a lot of passes his way. Besides the lingering injuries to the two starters, Frerotte and Hagans spent a lot of time together on the second team in the preseason, and the duo had exceptional chemistry. If Frerotte feels comfortable with Hagans, he'll be looking his way often this Sunday.

No I think you're just nuts if you start him. I don't consider a shark play taking an unnecessary risk. Risk > reward

Sure, pick him up on your bench. Play him? Seriously?

 

[ninjafluffer]

St. Louis' leading receiver with 5 catches for 74 yards.

Might as well snag him if you have an empty roster spot in a dynasty league. He's yet another one of those QB converts. Doubt he does much, but you have to take notice anytime a young guy steps up and makes some plays.

Good call for anybody desperate for a quick bye week filler...

That's pretty much it. If you are scrambling because of bye weeks, any port in a storm. If you're considering benching anyone even halfway decent for this guy, good luck.
