Nate Washington - WR Pits (1 Viewer)

[kutyadog]

Whats your thoughts... Nate Washington, WR pitts... has had two good games in row... fluke or future trend?

 

[KiddLattimer]

He has speed and decent hands but in this offense I think is production will be limited to the occasional deep ball or quick touchdown.

 

[BringItOn]

I think it really kind of depends. If he can continue to produce and separate himself from Cedrick Wilson, he could do well and supplant wilson as the #2. (I think they are currently both targeted about equally)

 

[MLBrandow]

No love for Holmes?

Actually, its 3 games in a row.

With Wilson ailing, Holmes playin' hot & cold, Nate could very well be in for the #2 spot.

Washington fan here too.

For FF, need Wilson to play elsewhere or sit, for me to start him. Holmes doesn't help either.

Ward is still the only guy on the team who is going to consistently get 5+ catches each game. Washington, Holmes and Wilson are all going to be peak and valley guys who are completely unpredictable. (1-2 catches one game 4-5 the next). Washington seems to be the big target in the WR group and TD heavy scoring league might get you a surprise TD every now and again. WR bench material only (deep leagues). Dynasty as well...might be worth a flyer for depth, but future WR stud potential is very low.

future WR stud potential is very low.

I disagree here. Rook WRs aren't generally great right away. He's shown plenty in just 7 games

If you consider Nate Washington's performance to date great I'm not sure which games you are watching. 2-3 catches and 40 yds avg. isn't exactly stud worthy WR performance in my book. Top 50 WR at best for remainder of season. So if you were in a dynasty league, you like to have Washington on your team over rookies like Chad Jackson, & Colston for the future?

Fantasy aside, I do think that Washington is the best big play opprotunity that the Steelers have in the passing game.

I think you misread that, I didn't say he was great.I would take him over Chad now, not back in the summer. Chad ...I'm not a fan of. I'm worried "my Pats" got a bust there.
