Marshall #1 WR on projections this week (1 Viewer)

Great thread. Nice contribution. Hopefully you can continue to make winning discussions such as this every time a player had a down game. Surely it will never get old.

 
It's projections, not a crystal ball. Find me a site that predicted Marshall would have a terrible game, and I'll watch their projections and point out everything else they get wrong this week for you.

 
Poor Dodds. He has such a thankless job.

Is he supposed to rank Marshall as the #44 WR this week? As long as he's in the top-20, you're starting him regardless.

 
last week - man i should have drafted brandon marshall in at least one league

this week - man im glad I didnt draft Marshall

 
He dropped several passes in week 1 and dropped a sure TD tonite. It's what you get with BM. With that said he'll still end up top 5 this season. He may be a knuckle-head but he's my knuckle-head.

That guy dropped a bunch of even surer TD passes last season in Miami. His hands definitely seem like they are getting worse with time.
 
It's pretty irrelevant whether a player is ranked #1 or #15, all those guys are going to be started.

No one was benching Marshall this week so who cares.

 
Its not the fact that he didn't play well (one endzone drop, one enzone play he could have made but I woulnd't call it a drop), its that he was only targeted 5 times, and some of those were on busted plays where the ball wasn't supposed to go to him. How could a professional football team be playing an away game against a good team, and their game plan going in is "Don't throw the ball to our only good receiver"? If I was the owner of the Bears I would want answers from the coach and the o-coordinater about why my $30 million + 2 3rd round picks acquisition was being used as a diversion.

He was double teamed pretty much the entire game, and when Cutler did try to throw in his direction, he threw interceptions.I'm not sure why they didn't run Marshall on some shorter routes though...
 
I'm sure if we were all posting our rankings, we would ALL have him in the top 5 or so, so its not like anything happened that is really worth criticizing.

Geez. Its like, if you say a guy is going to be great and he is, then you're just one of the sheep and you're not thinking..just going along with the group.

If you say a guy is going to be good and he's not, then you're an idiot.

If you say a guy is going to be bad and he's not, you're an idiot.

I mean, where's the break given? In every week of the season, you can't find that guy that no one saw coming...every week.

Cutler was under pressure all night and Tramon Williams is a great DB. Marshall didn't make the most of his opportunity by dropping that touchdown pass.That said, maybe some quick slants or bubble screens would've helped get him more involved. He's the type of player who loses focus when he doesn't feel involved.

Brandon Marshall #1 in the WR projections? I believe this is what the young kids these days would refer to as an "epic fail".

So where would you have ranked him this week?
 
Where would you have ranked him? He was absolutely a top 3 or 4 for me based on last week. Glad he didn't, as I went against him, but was expecting to get hit a lot worse than that. Cutler popping off sealed their fate. Dude needs to keep his jaws shut.

 
I will say he probably shouldn't have been ranked #1, or even in the top 10. Last week isn't really what we should be looking at. What should have been looked at was how terrible Cutler has been in Lambeau. 50% completion percentage, .5 td per game, 3 interceptions per game, 4 sacks per game. Last night was a continuation of that trend.

Trent Richardson - #21 on projections this week. 19 carries for 39 yards last week. :bag:

First, what does Richardson have to do with this? Answer - NothingNext, I didn't release any projections/rankings. As a matter of fact I abstained from participating in the "Guess Richardsons production" thread last week due to him coming off injury and having not seen the new QB in a real game and playing a tough defense. So you don't got me, I didn't spout off any predictions for good reason.Finally, I don't get paid for my projections, people don't come to me for their projections and follow me like sheep. As for other comments I surely would not have ranked Marshall #1, over Calvin and Julio Jones is insane. Like I said I don't get paid so I'm not obliged to put much effort in here, If I went off Dodds rankings, I would slide him in at #9 at best.

The point of bringing up T-Rich is that sometimes you swing and miss. Me, you, Dodds, everyone.
 
This is silly...as are any posts that bash any site for projections that don't come to fruition. There are SO many variables that go into a player doing well or not doing well: individual talent, qb talent, blocking, missed assignments, blown coverages, opposing defenses, game planning, weather, human error, and the list goes on. All that anyone has, not just FBG, to go on when projecting what any given player will do in any given game is his talent, the talent surrounding him, and the PAST. Just like professionals on wall street tell you in the fine print "past success/returns does/do not guarantee future success/returns". That is the disclaimer for all of their mutual funds and hedge funds.

Not defending FBG at all, just telling it like it is. I see nothing wrong with MArshall being ranked highly this week. And whether you rank him at #1 or #9 he is still ebing ranked as a WR1 for 10-12 team leagues. Either way, people would have started him. NO WAY anyone who drafted marshall would have sat him this week even if FBG ranked him #15. Unless they are dumb.

what's really the difference between ranking a guy #1 or #9?They are all guaranteed starters so it doesn't affect people's line up decisions one way or the other.If FBG's ranked him #12 would anyone have benched him?
Click to expand...
With more and more people playing in weekly games(especially since FBG and FanDuel had a partnership this year) yes it absolutely does matter. I don't follow the FBG projections as closely as most and still had Marshall in my lineups on FanDuel well before FBG weekly projections even came out. As it turns out almost all my opponents had Marshall in their lineup as well so the high FBG projection probably ended up helping me.My point isn't that FBG should get criticized for their projection or expected to never shoot an air-ball, but with all the different games/contests out there now it does matter if a guy is projected having an elite week(top 5) or just a good week(10-20).
 
There isn't an expert that would have suggested you start your WR#3 is over Marshall. What a waste of my time. Please, if you don't like this sites rankings, find another one. I think fantazzle had Marshall ranked at #19.

I'm glad I didn't go with bloom and dodds QB ranking. Sat cutler for manning, dodged the bullet there. I also thought that was a coinflip type of decision. You can't predict that a team that allowed some of the most points against to QB and WR in 2011, and looked on track to repeat, would suddenly dominate a team with a lot of buzz around those positions coming off of a great performance.

Actually you could. Cutler has a pitiful track record in lambeau. It's as easy as looking back at his last 3-5 outings there. Not start worthy. But that doesn't mean that Marshall couldn't have still gotten his. A qb can have a bad game by qb standards but his best wr can still come out of it with decent to amazing numbers. Marshall also dropped a td that would have given him a decent day. He doesn't drop that and people aren't complaining.

How could they have ranked Julio as the #3 WR? Didn't they know he would drop a sure TD pass??? :angry:

Dodd's nailed starting Marshall ahead of Julio...69 Marshall, Brandon CHI 1 0 0 0 2 24 0 0 2.482 Jones, Julio ATL 1 1 1 0 4 14 0 0 1.5
