Players who have done nothing through 4 games (1 Viewer)

[Doug B]

Thinking about this topic because I just turned over the bottom of my WR group by cutting Massaquoi and picking up Robert Meacham. Another disappointed owner had drafted Meacham, but cut him a few days ago.

Meacham probably won't break out -- BUT -- the opportunity is there and he has been productive in spurts in the past. Might need some injury help to be consistently startable, but it wouldn't be insanely unlikely for Meacham to become a usable FFB WR2 over the second half of the fantasy season. And if Meacham is going to get it together, what better game to get going than against the Cardinals?

Anyway. As we pick over the last 3 guys on our rosters, what done-nothin'-yet guys are out there that can give us a somewhat more valuable lottery ticket?

 

[gianmarco]

Spiller easily at the top of this list

 

[RICK ROMO]

Lee Evans

 

[PranksterJD]

Roethlisberger

 

[Stinkin Ref]

Fred Jackson.....

 

[rubennbl]

The Pierre Garcon owner dropped him last week so I dropped MSW and picked up Garcon. Hoping for the same!

 

[PranksterJD]

Spiller easily at the top of this list

I'd put Deangelo or Stewart over him, but Spiller's definitely a good option.All three guys have the same problems though... unconvinced that their offenses will get off the ground enough to give them a chance.

 

[top dog]

Mike Simms Walker

 

[LittlePhatty]

Julian Edelman

 

[OMG! Ponies!]

i was hoping to see DWill in this thread...but just one mention isn't inspiring a whole lot of confidence right now.

 

[NeverEnough]

Ray Rice

 

[Doug B]

Garcon and Edelman are good tabs, too. Similar to Meacham, coming from good spread-it-around passing games, they could maybe see a bigger piece of the pie in the near future.

 

[killrobotkill]

Marques Colston

 

[One More Rep]

I like Felix Jones and Deangelo Williams

 

[flooredyas]

Fitzgerald.

Hall will be looking for him and can only see similiar number of targets that he had with Anderson chucking up misguided missles, Hall's accuracy can only be an upgrade.

 

[Pigskin Fanatic]

MSW and Larry Fitz.

Funny how the entire starting lineup for Buffalo is listed at the top here except the QB.

 

[ponchsox]

Micheal Crabtree

 

[nysportsfan]

Ray Rice

Colston

Steve Smith

 

[Romofan]

Hines ward should become relevant with Big Ben back

 

[Sammy Traveller]

no Beanie Wells love?

 

[PDX Pain]

Beanie. J-Stew.

 

[fishmang86]

Shonn Greene.

 

[Dismattle]

David Nelson? non drafted to #4 right now (70 some yds last game) Im just listing the latest player whose caught my eye. (played w/ the Gators, Hernandez etc.)

Oh and more to this Season, yeah Shonne Greene schedule is gonna pick up (worth a look)

 

[Pots]

Beanie. J-Stew.

Can I ask how? DWill is clearly the starter, J-Stew is barely getting a handful of touches and even in that scenario D-Will is sucking and J-Stew is unstartable. J-Stew would not only have to become the starter on the rare chance of Injury/Trade/Radical change in coaching, but have to severely out-perform what DWill has done with that same oppertunity. Their team still sucks.

 

[Grahamburn]

Lee Evans

I'm starting him with confidence against the Jags.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Stafford

 

[NHLumpa2]

My post draft roster:

Matthew Stafford, Det QB

Ben Roethlisberger, Pit QB

Shonn Greene, NYJ RB K

Anthony Dixon, SF RB

Wes Welker, NE WR

Mike Sims-Walker, Jac WR

Steve Breaston, Ari WR

Dez Bryant, Dal WR

Vernon Davis, SF TE K

Adam Vinatieri, Ind K

Giants D/ST, NYG D/ST

Welker has been only slightly below expectation, but other than that,

this is TEAM DONE NOTHING THROUGH 4 GAMES

 

[Cawbird]

DeAngelo Williams. He is starting to break the long runs. I know he will face 8 and 9-man fronts here on out, but if he gets through that line, look out!

Wow. That's rough.

 

[Toads]

Gotta be Colston who's in line for a big game soon?

 

[RICK ROMO]

Lee Evans

I'm starting him with confidence against the Jags.

This is it for him. I have him in at flex in a ppr over Keller-NYJ. I don't think I can hold onto him any longer if he doesn't produce against the lowely Jags passing D.

 

[CompetitiveEdgeFootball]

Fitzgerald.Hall will be looking for him and can only see similiar number of targets that he had with Anderson chucking up misguided missles, Hall's accuracy can only be an upgrade.

The fact that experts on this and other sites were touting Fitz as a "top 3 WR regardless" of his disastrous situation left me scratching my head. You can't just ignore reality, no matter how talented a player is, and the reality is that given his QB downgrade, losing Boldin opposite him, he was going to be a borderline top 10 guy. Now nothing through 4 games...How about Kevin Kolb? Now I know he got injured... but think about this. They sent McNabb packing IN THE DIVISION for this guy. You have to be convinced the guy is going to be at least an above average starter to do that. At no point in the preseason or so far this season has he shown that he's even an AVERAGE starter in this league. They pulled the trigger on the Vick ascension so quickly, it kinda makes you wonder, what the hell is really going on here? People were talking about "Kolb in his first year posting possible Aaron Rodgers like numbers, his first year as a starter." Kob looks like Leinart or Edwards. Checkdown city. People were drafting this guy to be a top 10, starting (albeit possibly 1/2 of a committee) QB.I think this is a big mistake the Phi organization is going to end up quietly sweeping under the rug and hoping goes away, because this guy is just a terrible QB.

 

[MaxPower]

Owen Daniels... he will probably go off now that I've dropped him though.

In statistical terms, you must be an outlier.I know, that doesn't help you feel better. Hang in there, and if one of your players busts out in a game this week, sell him high and hopefully you'll get some value in return.

That's pretty optimistic.To me it looks like this guy is screwed.

I've swapped out a lot of that roster. Dropped Stafford, Henne, (Gerrard), Maroney, traded away Greene & VDavis

Have SJax, Brandon Jax, Wells, Hightower (Wells insurance), CJ Spiller, BJGE, Hernandez, Marcedes Lewis, Ryan Fitzpatrick going against Jax to hold the place until Big Ben gets back on the field.

WRs still the same cept dropped MSW.

But yeah, I'm still getting the first crack at the WW.

You know.............isn't Wells really Hightower insurance at this point?

Just sayin'...

 

[Shutout]

Re: Meachum. I really don't know how you can hold out hope for him to be a consistent play when the Saints #1 Wr isn't even a consistent play.

Re: Fitz. I'm really surprised to see a handful of people list Fitz in this group of "people who have done nothing"He is averaging 2 points less per game right now at this point than he was last year. That's no where near the disapperaing act the rest of these guys on this list are doing. I think the only place Fitz has failed is in living up to his unrealistic expectations.

Fitz hasn't posted under 10 points (PPR) once this year. Of the top 10 WRs in the league and the perceived elites, every other WR has had a day that produced lower points than Fitz's lowest production of the year. Boldin, Lloyd, Marshall, AJ, Moss, DJAX, Welker, Calvin, Austin, Jennings: All have had worse days than Fitz's worst day so far this year.

Only Roddy White and Donald Driver have had their worst days better than Fitz's worst so far. People need to be a bit more realistic with Fitz. He's one 2-touchdown day away from being in the top 7-10 and everyone will forget about it.

 

[CompetitiveEdgeFootball]

I began countering your points regarding Fitz and other WRs, but I've decided that getting into it about this subject hijacks the thread. I'll just say this: Fitz was "projected" by "experts" to be a top 3 WR. He's going to finish somewhere in the mid to low top 12. If he's your 1st or 2nd round pick, you've lost a ton of value. His situation is dragging him down, and it wasn't terribly hard to see coming.

 

[utche96]

Dez bryant

 

[shakaka]

My team began as

Favre

Grant

Moreno

Beanie

M Bush

F Jackson

MSW

H Ward

Nice laundry list of horrible underperformers so far.

Yeah I'm not doing so hot lol, especially when superstud handcuff Brandon Jackson cost me most of my waiver budget. Maclin, Megatron, Nugent, and the PIT DST did just enough to get me some wins luckily. Maybe things will turn around.

 

[BigA]

Ray Rice, Colston and Spiller

Season is still young and some of us got him in the 3rd round

 

[inca911]

Mike Wallace has been my later season lottery ticket. He did do something in week 3, but just two catches every other week. It's hard to know with Dixon and Batch leading the way, so we'll see what happens when Ben returns. Weel 16 vs. Carolina is also a very appetizing way to finish the season....

I would feel bad for you but look at my dynasty team roster.....Between injuries and terrible play i am looking forward to the first pick in next years draft.

First off, that's just not true. Even the dummies at ESPN, some of the worst "analysts" i've ever read, were listing Fitz in the 20th overall pick territory. I would say that Andre, Moss, Reggie, Roddy, and Miles at a minimum were ranked higher than Fitz, if not others. Perhaps on this website he was ranked a 1-3 top WR, or on some other website that i didn't read the "experts" opinion.Secondly, we have only seen 4 games. It's a little to early to get on your high horse and claim that you were right.Thirdly, Fitz has been good for 10 points per week in most formats.Fourth, it really depends on your format. My main league just started this year as a PPR/Keeper format. In this type of format, Fitz is definitely a top 10 overall pick regardless of what he does this year. In my opinion he is the MOST talented WR in the world. He is 26 years old. Moss is 34 right now. Fitz, unless a horrible career ending type injury shows up, will be a stud for 8 or so more years. Chris Johnson on the other hand may fall off the map by next year due to his position and situation. So in this type of league, people are very smart to pick up Fitz, regardless of how "bad" he has done in the first 4 games.

Fitz seemed like a safer pick as a WR1/2 than say Desean Jackson or Calvin Johnson. Going into the draft I realized the days of 1400-13 were over for Fitz, but he is still on pace for a decent floor of 76-832- 8td. He's not killing any of my teams with Fitz on them
