Patrick Crayton (1 Viewer)

[Craig]

In one league i've been in for over 10 years, one guy who has won the league 3 times just dropped Patrick Crayton to pick up Jason Campbell. I want to pick up Crayton as our league scores through the Superbowl and I think the Cowboys will be a playoff team. Is there anything wrong with Crayton ?

 

[Sup_Yo]

broken finger

week 1: 3 for 51 yrs

week 2: nothing

 

[Max Power]

yeah, he isnt producing...broken finger...Glenn could still come back. Might be the #4WR on the boys soon enough

Other than the fact that he didn't have a reception and broke his pinkie, he's fine.

Dallas WR Patrick Crayton had no catches Sunday against Miami. He suffered what appeared to be a broken pinkie but remained in the game on special teams. He had two punt returns for 49 yards.(Updated 09/16/2007).FANTASY ANALYSISCrayton should be fine for Week 3 against Chicago, but he should not be started in any league.

ITs a dislocated pinky get your facts righte before posting peopleIf this is not a keeper I would drop D.Williams or C.Davis for him, last week Crayton was the hottest thing since sliced bread and now because of his pinky he is being dropped,

I hope someone freaks out and drops him because of this in my league. A dislocated pinky is not a big deal, First of all its a PINKY, and second its only dislocated. I dislocated my pinky while playing B-Ball and continued playing when I pulled it back in, I know thats probably TMI but its not that big of a deal.

Crayton will be fine and will contribute as a decent #4 matchup/bye week filler

I think most owners were hoping for much more out of him then this. At this point in the season there are more wr out there that have more potential than this.

I completely agree but its is only one game and before that pinky injury Crayton had a decent game 3-51 it is a 14 weeks FF season rite? Im just saying dont forget about him because he is not the hot target that you look for this week

 

[Ron_Mexico]

Does this mean Big Sam Hurd could step into the limelight ?

I think BSH has some real talent.

 

[PatytonsGhost]

Mee thinks Hurd is good too, but Crayton is my first WR to target imo

 

[benm3218]

It's funny how we sit around at night speculating on who the "hot" bye-week fillins will be.... For crying out loud people!!! Why does it even matter??

There are teams in my league who could care less about Crayton! They don't need him or miss him. Me, I look at him like he is my saviour.

Why do we spend hours reading the blogs and forums and news wires?

Because like me you probably drafted guys like SJax and Bulger, and Fitzgerald and Benson and Jacobs..... Now we are reduced to Jacoby Jones and Ryan Grant and Crayton. This fantasy is fun, but oh so cruel.



oiiiii mama, I am tired.

Agreed -- guys like Roddy White, Demetrius Williams, etc. seem to have more upside at this point. The question comes down to whether there is any indication that Crayton can get more involved in this offence than he is right now.

[1] it was an open dislocation, meaning that the bone actually came through the skin, necessitating several stitches.[2] i have also dislocated a finger (index finger) playing basketball... was able to keep playing, but it really affected my shooting... and after it (and most of my hand) swelled up, there was no way i could play any sports with it for a couple weeks.point is: there are a wide range of degrees of dislocation. given that crayton's was an open dislocation, who knows what tendons/ligaments/muscles/joints he damaged in the process. even if they keep the swelling down, he might not have enough mobility/strength to adequately catch. yes, it's just a pinky, but keep in mind that the pinky is the articulator on the other end of the handspan from the thumb... catch a couple fast footballs and you'll notice just how important pinky strength is.bottom line: i'm dropping him for waiver purposes, but i'd be open to picking him back up if his injury appears minor and if glenn's return is further delayed.

Pinky's are not that important at all. Articulator??? haha don't try to get all mediacal on us. Pinky shminky.

He came back in after getting the stitches and returned a punt 49 yards. I have to think that if his hand was in any way a concern that the coaching staff would have not put him back to return a punt in what at the time was a close game. It is one thing to drop a pass - it is another thing to drop a punt. Ask the Eagles.

 

[Tempest]

Would you pick Reggie Brown from waivers and drop Crayton?

 

[Addai's Adidas]

Dropped Jenkins and picked up Hurd.

 

[NatronIsMean]

Would you pick Reggie Brown from waivers and drop Crayton?

What, are you in a 2 team league?! You should man up and join a 38 team league, where you don't even get a round 1 pick, have to pick up players on NFL practice sqauds, start Dayne as your #1 RB and watch the practice squads live for your news.Just kidding. I would make that switch - I like Reggie once McNabb gets going, and he WILL get going. Give it just a little time for him.Clayton will be solid as well I think, but seeing the situation with Mason and Williams, the QB scenario, and the lower upside (IMO) of the Ravens, I make that move.

Welcome aboard, benm, and thanks for the @ "mediacal" and "pinky shminky".I'm expecting great things from you in the future.

Patrick Crayton is borderline waiver wire material, and others have rightly pointed out that there are more than a few waiver wire WRs with as much upside as he has right now. Give him a couple of weeks to get his finger situation straightened out or, if you've got room on your bench, stash him there.

I dropped Crayton yesterday and kept Wes Welker and Shaun McDonald as my deep WR reserves. Your mileage may vary.

 

[benm3218]

Thanks for the suppiort. I will not dissiapoint!

I had Crayton... Just dropped him for Wynn. I am in a Dynasty league and spiraling out of control at 0-2. Thanks SJax / Bulger / Benson / Fitz... although I guess its my own dang fault for bidding on them and winning. I like Crayton ok, I just need a homerun here, and if Wynn gets the job, thats better than a number 2 WR.

 

[SlaX]

I dropped him for a returning Kevin Jones. I already have depth at WR, and need depth at RB. If KJ returns to form, he'll be more valuable than Crayton anyway.

 

[FFdork]

That's funny I made the exact same move (dropped Crayton for Campbell), but I have excellent WR depth and I needed the QB depth (Alex Smith as my backup isn't panning out so far).

I don't like giving up on a guy based on one game, but when you throw in the finger injury and my team's needs, and a limited bench what are you gonna do?

Bottom line is that he appears at best to be option #3 in the passing game (although it was more like option #0 last week). At least so far Witten seems to have been the real beneficiary of the Glenn injury. I like all of my receivers to be option #1 or option #2 in a productive offense if at all possible.

 

[spitkickers]

I'm thinking about dropping Crayton for McCareins. I expected Crayton to be a little more involved in the offense, esp. with Glenn out. Now the finger thing and the emergence of Hurd, I just don't know about Crayton.

McCareins has some potential. It looked like Clemens targeted him, even if he did butterfinger most of his targets. Sure Pennington is back...but for how long...for how long.

Might be a long shot, but thinking about pulling the trigger. Set at WR anyway, so it's not a do-or-die slot.

i guess my point was that the swelling/soreness happens about a day after the injury. i obviously didn't dislocate my finger as bad as crayton, but i could've caught a punt shortly after as well... but definitely not with any confidence the next day.these are obviously all just guesses (mine and PaytonsGhost)... i'm just offering my experience/opinion to counter his.

wasn't trying to get all "mediacal", especially since i'm not a doctor. i'm also not an NFL receiver, so maybe i catch footballs incorrectly, but in my experience, catching a fast football requires a quick grip... and if you don't have pinky strength, you're forced to catch with the span between your thumb and middle finger, which artificially shrinks your hand. even if they tape his pinky and ring finger together, it will still be as if he suddenly was forced to catch with "small hands".like i said earlier, this is all speculation on my part... and i offer it only to counter the speculation of others. do with it what you will.

Seems like his pinky is fine
