Mike Williaims SEA vs Danario Alexander STL (1 Viewer)

[Horses Mouth]

Both these guys may be on your waivers.

1) Mike Williams. Previously lazy and considered a washup. Now with prior coach, Branch has moved on, and the running gave seems to have something going with Lynch and Forsett. He's currently the SEA WR #1.

2) Danario Alexander. No one doubts his ability but will the knee hold up and will be end up ast the STL WR #1?

Thoughs for the rest of the season.

I voted Williams. He is the clear #1 on a team that has a decent passing game and now a decent running game. You may not get the 50 yard TD's from him, but he is a solid possession guy and should be a decent red zone option. I like him even better in ppr format.

Alexander has freakish ability, but big time injury history. Injury history doesn't always mean injury future, but 4x in 4 years???? Scary

Plus, we've seen one game from Alexander against a team that probably didn't expect him to play and probably didn't game plan too much for him. I would also expect Gibson and Gilyard to be more involved and who knows how the order shakes out over the next few weeks.

Just my feeling. I am by no means an expert.

I like them both but Mike X is my vote.

Clear #1 and more invlolved in the offense and in on more plays. No health concerns. I am playing both of them this week with Megatron on a bye. My usual are Megatron-Marshall-Williams

If you want to swing for the fences, Alexander IMO. If you want a steady producer, Williams.

They are in my league along with Panthers Steve Smith Myself I would have grabbed Alexander.

 

[Captain Hook]

I voted Alexander*

the * for IF he can stay on the field

Danario has more upside, but also more downside (injury history). If the knee's hold up, this guy could be dynamic....break-out WR of the year.

Mike X is safer, and should be a decent 4th/5th WR the rest of the year....with potential of being a 3rd.

That said, I'd pick Danario for his upside.

Waivers with blind FA auctions, I'd say Alexander was in the FA pool in a significant amount of leagues.

 

[CrossEyed]

I grabbed them both.

I'd say Williams for rest of this year, but Alexander's upside is intriguing.

I think we saw Mike's best game of the year. As any Bear fan knows, Peanut Tillman has long had fits with big physical WR's dating back to Moose (Muhsin Muhammad) in practices. People view Moose as a bust during his Bear days, but he would continuously toast Peanut in practices. Leaving everyone to wonder why he couldn't do it more often in games.

These guys are rostered in all my Hawk Dyno leagues (I-VII; IX-Ultra).

Sorry, but I just have never understood the math when people make these types of comments. When does anyone even carry a "4th/5th" WR on their roster? That to me equates to a ranking of 48-60 and these guys are a dime a dozen and can be obtained off the WW in a moment's notice in most leagues I would think.Big Mike Williams is rated 22nd in this week's PPR WR rankings. In a standard 12-team league, that's a low-end WR2 according to my math. Last week BMW finished 15th overall WR and the way SEA was targeting him it's not unrealistic he could put up more than a few more of those the rest of the way.

In a 3-WR league, BMW looks to be very starter worthy the rest of the way and maybe a good matchup play in a 2WR / 1 Flex league.

Please help me understand what I am missing.

As are they in all my Shaved ### Backwards Walking Baboons leagues (-e-5^2; Dunbar's Super-Mega-Up-Your-Butt-Jobu).

WR37-60. Unless you're in a start 1 WR league or 2 WR league with little/no bench, wouldn't everyone carry player(s) in this range?I think what he's saying is Mike could finish WR37-60, but could finish in the Top 36. (assuming 12 team league). I agree with your statement that WR4/5's are a dime dozen each week (let's say Britt's out -- Justin Gage [if he's healthy?]), but those with perceived high upside (Mike Williams/Alexander for example here) are snatched up in most leagues.

D-oh. My bad originally stating 48-60 as WR 4/5 when you are correct in pointing out it is actually 37-60. And FWIW yes, I do carry high-upside guys in that range as lottery tickets and bye week replacements.IMO, BMW should rank in the Top 30 going forward based on a) how he has performed in games when healthy, b) apparent increased role after Branch trade and c) Lynch helping improve ground game.

Based on this poll, BMX was hands down the pick of the two. Top 24 moving forward?

I think he's right there. Targets won't be a problem, but Nnamdi Asomugha might be in week 8.
