Pierre Garcon, WR, Washington Redskins (1 Viewer)

I am benching him in every league that I have a decent option over him. Considering even starting Hawkins over him in 1 league.

Not even flexing him?

I can't decide whether to flex Garçon or Vick Ballard. Vikings run D is pretty good, so they'll have to attack through the air, right? Plus with RG3 seemingly coming back to start, there is no way he'll be running as much....right?? So maybe we'll see more emphasis on the pass. I would like to flex him, but still unsure about his foot. Maybe this is a "show me first" situation.

I'm not starting him anywhere either. Playing Stevie Johnson over him in one league.I'll probably miss his first good game, but I want to see him do something before I throw him out there.

Ok let's get back to business with Garcon. That score vs DAL was nearly the exact thing as what he did vs the Saints in week 1 just going the opposite way, had everyone so excited about what the year could be. Awesome catch to boot.

Is this Pierre being back good and healthy and he is what we thought he could be?

Or is this the Redskins throwing to 5 different receivers and you're banking on few targets and a big score to really make it happen?

As far as I'm concerned if you can't start someone at this time of the year you shouldn't even roster them.

Rolling with him in a ton of leagues this week. Partly because I'm out of choices, but partly because he's played two weeks running now and 'looked good in practice' yesterday -- with no apparent setbacks.

He was paid to play it, but...I don't think he is.

This is the heart of it. Some people just don't think he is. I'm not sure why since he's got great size and speed, is athletic as hell and was judged by several NFL teams to be worth $7-8 million/year.Regardless, catch percentage is driven almost entirely by QB quality and role in the offense. Garcon's was 57% in his third year with Manning (in line with other outside WRs) and regressed to 52% last year with Orlovsky, Painter and etc -- which happens to be exactly what Fitzgerald put up with Kolb and Skelton. When you're a deep threat and your QBs complete 56.5% of their passes that's just what happens.[/Pet Peeve]

On the season so far...33 targ for 24/357/3Garcon's catching 73% of the balls thrown his way so far.

It appears to be a pain management issue for him at this point. As long as he can stay on the field, I see no reason for him not to be very productive. Griffin like lots of young qb's seems to latch onto that 1 safety net receiver much like Newton did last year with Smith and Garcon has become that guy for RGIII. You'll probably have to keep checking the injury reports until gametime with him but he's a must start when he plays.
