I know everyone talks about the 2nd half sinking of the USS Giants the last few years, but Is Plax a victim of the sytem slowing down again or is he just physically finished for the season?

If his numbers do not inprove with this week match-up, I asume he will be practically impossible to unload going forward in re-draft leagues.

Any thoughts?

He's already difficult to move in redraft leagues.

This always has been Burris, start out on fire, get dinged up, then disappear.

 

[The Rook]

i'm hoping for a big game vs. Detroit and I'll be trying to move him.

 

[Hit-em]

I just traded him for Grant straight up

 

[jurrassic]

Would you guys rather have Burress or Driver?

Do you believe everything you read? Any opinions of your own besides anti-Adrian Peterson "out for the season" type stuff? As many folks around here say, "Your schtick is getting old." Also your opinion might actually carry some weight if you knew how to spell the guy's name...Plax is still the #6 WR in my distance league. #5 is Wayne and he's barely in front of Plax by like 7 points. Looking at the list of 7-25 there isn't a single WR I'd consider trading Plax for.Plax is having a rough spot (as do all WR's) his last three outings. Just because history shows he doesn't produce in the 2nd half of the season doesn't mean he won't have his share of good games from here on out.If he blows versus DET then I'd say his value will hit rock bottom, but still we're talking about Top 10 WR value here. Even if he lays an egg he will still command Top 10 value IMHO. As an owner I would command that type of value for him or I would just hold on to him.

He'll be fine. The Giants dont have much to throw to, and Eli loves looking for Plax. My biggest concern is with that ankle injury. He's coped with it, but i've read that it has gotten worse.

The Giants have an easy schedule down the stretch, so i think Plax has some good games in him. I think he set the bar so high early, that it was bound to turn into some type of let down

Anti ADP?? I have ADP in two leagues, I am far from anti. Get your facts straight.You sound like a Burress (is that spelled right) owner who is getting frustrated, because he is not producing and you can`t trade him because he is hurt. Burress was on fire early, but now his ankle appears to be getting worse.Burress is #5 right now in my league. I just looked at the 7-25 and there is quite a few I would trade him for right now. Healthy? no, but he is damaged goods right now.

You got some of it right. I'm a Burress owner but far from frustrated-nor do I want to trade him at his rock bottom value. He's just like any other WR in the league not named Moss: a light switch. You take the good with the bad. I don't understand the "history has shown XXX" arguements because sometimes players re-write history. I mean rookie RB's never do what ADP has done, correct? I refuse to write off a good player like Plax because "every year he does this and that". That's just foolish guppy talk. The facts are he's still a top 10 WR overall and he should command that value based on what he has already done this year, not based on last year or the year before.As far as anti-ADP stuff: I do recall you saying he'll be out for the season and what not on some of the ADP posts. Owner or not you should try to be a bit optimistic about the guy. As a person who watched him play almost all of his college games I can tell you HE wants to get back ASAP. I believe the injury isn't as bad as initially thought so I see no reason you think he'll be out for the rest of the year.

The bottom line is Burress value is based on his health..right now I would not give up much for him due to the fact he is injured and won`t be healthy the rest of the seaspn. This is re-draft leagues of course.

That doesn't make sense either...the guy hasn't practiced all season. Same injury since Week 1...So by your analysis: In Week 5, when he was the #2 WR in FF behind Moss, playing with THE SAME injury, he torched the NYJ for 5/124/1. You're saying after that game he doesn't have value, or "I wouldn't give up much for him"?

His health hasn't changed all year and now since he's on a cold streak his value should be based on his health?

The bottom line is: It's just a cold streak, his health is the same as it's been all season long. I wouldn't value Plax based on his health until he starts missing games.

P.S. He's still a Top 10 WR in most leagues and is #6 overall in my distance league.

 

[renesauz]

I've read, and understood, that his ankle has been getting worse as the season goes along, and that seems to be effecting his play now. If I'm an owner, I'm worried. And no, he isn't worth a top ten reciever right now, because he isn't a top ten if he's hurt. Make no mistake..HE IS HURT.

Dynasty...I'm looking to buy in a couple more weeks as he continues to underperform. Redraft...if you can get anything close to top ten value for him...SELL!

 

[Magnus_CA]

Just traded Burress for Jacobs after receiving a number of rejections. Bottom line, he can be moved for a top RB #2 but probably only to owners that are unaware of his second half of season struggles.

 

[BuddyKnuckles]

Just moved Burress (Burris, Burrez, Burrs) and Portis for D Anderson and FWP, so there is still value out there.

I see this situation as going either way, Plax and the Giants could easily fall into another late season slide. OR, he could step up his game again and become a very solid top tier WR1 going forward.

So, while that may not answer any questions, my point is that i believe this to be a coin flip. Take in all the facts, then go with your gut instinct and ride out your decision for better or worse

You made a very good trade.

 

[jaana1us]

got tony gonzalez for him- i needed a tight end -but no way i could have a rb#2

Great trade. I traded him last week for KJ.

Plax value (current) for owners or trade partners who might be interested. 14 team redraft league - HP.

Gave: Plax, B. Watson, Ahman

Got: MJD, Shockey, Hackett

Needed a solid RB3 in case LT2 or Portis miss the playoffs. And like the upgrade w/ Shockey vs. Watson (mainly yardage wise).

I enjoyed the early season run from Plax, but he just doesn't look like he's able to get separation likely due to the ankle(s), especially @ DAL last week - who he torched early in the year. I'm sure he'll get a TD now and then, but I don't see many *solid* games coming from him the rest of the way ( i.e. 125 & 1/2). He could become a yardage heavy league liability (like the past few weeks).

What a great trade. You upgraded at every single position.

You really ear-holed the other guy in that trade. Did he have a concussion?

 

[MechEng]

Is Plax worth playing any more?

 

[Socrates11]

Is Plax worth playing any more?

I'd say no, except you can bet that as soon as I bench him he's going to go for 100+ yds and 2 TD's.Still, at this point in the season he's sitting if matchups favor other guys. I had hoped yesterday would get him back on track but now I dunno...

 

[Da Guru]

Plax seemed gimpy all day, and left before half to go the the locker room. I doubt he will be healthy again this year.

 

[aggie_dave]

This is really a tough and frustrating question, especially next week. He has the hapless MIN secondary on tap for next week, but it really sounds as though his injury is pretty drastically effecting him.

Sounds like maybe Hackett and Chris Henry are gonna start taking the spot from him (yeah I got burned by starting Plax over DJ yesterday).

I hear ya, but he had the Lions this week and didn't have much for numbers.

 

[The Rook]

I sending him away for Kellen Winslow in return (in a league with no TE required).
