The sad part is I dont see simms getting any better. The guy was pedestrian in College, dont know why anyone even drafted the guy. And I think they have no choice but to start him..
Ike got quite a few grabs last week.
I definitely do not think he warranted a round 5-6 pick.
No, you hope Simms starts to play well.
Ouch, I got him in rd11 as my 5th WR.
so is he a guy to leave in your line up for another week or two and see if he pops, or bench him if/when he does? Its weird, my 3 WRs I drafted to start were R. Moss, R. Smith, and Clayton. My bench looks better at the moment with Williamson, Reggie Brown, and Cotchery...
They have completely different roles in the offense, they have completely different skill sets - expecting Clayton to "overtake" Galloway is a mistake. They're complementary not exclusionary. The reason Joey seems to perform better than Clayton is that Joey has much more big play capability than Clayton, so it can be an overall wet blanket game for the offense but still possible for Joey to have a nice day off a couple of his big plays.
Higher than Marques Colston?Will answer yours.
Housh is on my waiver. Should I cut Clayton?
Are you serious? If so, then I'd say yes.I was happy to scoop Clayton off the scrap heap this week. After facing two of the top defenses in the league, he gets to enjoy a bit easier schedule. He doesn't face a tough defense until mid November. I like him to improve as teams load up to stop Caddy and Galloway.
I was in the same boat as you and needed to grab Turner before someone else did. I opted to drop Reggie Brown instead of Clayton. Clayton has been targeted a lot especially in the redzone. Reggie Brown is the fourth option in Philly behind Westbrook, LJ, and Stallworth...johnnyrock62000 said:
cut bait in all my redraft leagues, in dynasty i dont own him so..
I literally *just* posted a thread re: Gradkowski that kind of gets at this point. That is, will any Buc WR potentially have value if G at the helm.I own Clayton and will hold on to him for a few more weeks until we see what develops with G at QB. Unless there is a clear wwwr like Furrey still out there, I think you have to hang on to him.Like I said earlier in the post, the guy is talented. He was just dinged up last year, had a bit of the soph slump, and this year, the entire offense has #### the bed. Unless I really need the spot, I'm keeping him for now.
I just picked up Clayton off waivers, with the hopes that Gradkowski leans on him more than Simms did. I refuse to believe that MC's rookie year was a fluke - rather, it was one of the best rookie WR performances in history. He's got the talent, but clearly the injury hurt him big time last year, and this year the offense has been abysmal. I'm not expecting any big uptick production, but I think better days may be ahead for MC.
I don't own him, but I understand the hesitancy to write him off, especially in dyntasy leagues. It's difficult to look past his stellar rookie campaign--not only because he put up great numbers, but because he looked very good doing so. He did not look like a rookie. Even when Galloway came back week 9, he continued to produce. What boggles my mind is that a guy can play that well as a rookie and then become worthless during his sophomore and junior campaigns. He was just dropped in my dyntasy league, and I'm very likely going to take the plunge and join the club.
Agreed. He was added to my blacklist after last year.Come up with every excuse. Injuries. Galloway back. What's to say he won't get banged up this year? Next? 2008?So every time he gets banged up, we can expect 32 catches 0 td year? Come on. Even hurt, a good wr still produces. They forced him the ball in 2004, Galloway was hurt, he stopped putting in the extra time, and how quickly things slip away.There's 200+ 4.4 WRs, with good hands, loads of talent. Look at Mike Williams. Take one year off. Lose your drive. Your focus. It's very hard to get that back, to turn it back on. How many comebacks has K-ROB had? 5? 6? Clayton had a historically bad season for a #2 starting WR. You just can't come up with enough excuses to mask that poor of a performance. Just happened his rookie year, was his career year. He's a bad #2 WR. I don't see how that's going to change.
Dude was lights out as a rookie. I thought he was the next Rod Smith. It's way too early to write off his career. Remember Terry Glenn? Eddie Kennison? Talent doesn't just disappear. There's a reason he was a top 15 pick and there's a reason he had a great rookie year.
Could be, although that was just the first game with Gradkowski. But he surely hasn't picked up his game from last year by any stretch.Last year we know about, but it's hard to say what's happened this year. Still, it's not like Galloway has done a ton either in this passing offense. I still like Clayton longer-term, as you have to figure age will catch up to Galloway and/or the team cleans house after this year.Macdaddy_2004 said:
Similar to his teammate named after a car.
I wouldn't give up on either in dynasty until the O line shapes up, but if we are talking about redraft Clayton should probably be dropped.
Galloway 35 targets/14 receptions 40% conversionClayton 23 targets/11 receptions 48% conversionIke 16 targets/12 receptions 75% conversionIt's not like Clayton isn't getting his looks. And we all know Galloway has pretty good hands so I think the overlying factor here is poorly thrown passes due to either bad QB play, pressure from the opposing D or just really good coverage. Not really Clayton's fault to me so I'm not going to jump on the 'bad player' bandwagon.
