Titus Young....I like the upside, but isnt Burleson still ahead of him on the depth chart!?
I personally like Nicks/Nelson from this group and took both at the 3/4 turn in my draft with Cruz still available (Jennings went mid 3rd, had he and Nelson been on the board I still would have went Nelson/Nicks.) Cruz can't possibly score 5 TDs over 65 yards again - I think the number was that 30% of his points for the year came on those 5 catches. You could say the same thing about Nelson, but Rodgers loves him in the red zone, and frankly he has been Green Bay's best weapon since the 2010 playoffs. Last year was not a fluke for him, any shark saw that coming. Nicks to me is a bit of an injury risk, but if he is healthy, 1350/11 wouldn't surprise me. I don't think Cruz has that kind of upside this year. Nicks went 444/4 in the playoffs last year, I like him as top 5 WR this season.'Jimbo Slice said:Making my tiers and cannot figure out how to split then slot Jennings/Nelson and nicks/Cruz at all. It's a complete toss up.
He had 24 TDs in 2010, was on a pace for over 24 TDs last year. Yeah, I dont see him hitting 30 TDs or ending up in the top 6-7 QBs, but he would almost certainly increase the TDs if AJ stays healthy this year. Now thats a fairly large if, but also lets you know his floor is very high even without his stud WR. His ADP is mid-7th, but in most drafts Ive done he goes 2+ rounds later than that. Great QB2 in a QBBC which I think I may be leaning to with all the health concerns and guys returning from major injuries in the first 5 rounds at RB and WR.Matt Schaub is another one. The guy has had plenty of monster yardage games but never seems to throw a lot of TDs due to the focus on the running game. Its frustrating to watch a guy go for 435/1/1 a few times a year.
AJ's career high in TDs is 9, and he is entering his 10th year in the league. In the 5 years he has played 16 games, he's averaged a tad over 6 TDs per season. He just doesn't score enough.He had 24 TDs in 2010, was on a pace for over 24 TDs last year.

I don't think its overlooked.In 2010 he finished 7th in my standard scoring league (1216 and 8 TDs)The year before...higher with 1569 yards and 9 TDs....year before, 1579 and 8.2007 he had 8 TDs in 9 games.He was hugely productive for those 4 years...and keeps Schaub a very good QB2 and borderline QB1 if they can all stay healthy.AJ's career high in TDs is 9, and he is entering his 10th year in the league.

Understood but its not like he wont lead the team in receiving TDs if he's healthy. Johnson was also pretty much the least of the point I was trying to make.AJ's career high in TDs is 9, and he is entering his 10th year in the league.

Good call on Gronk so far. Even though you have a tendency to rub folks the wrong way, you do make some good calls. Through 3 weeks, Gronk is one of them.My Short ListCam NewtonDoug MartinDemarco MurrayAntonio GatesRob GronkowskiTypically I stay away from the guys I can't pin down unless they slide in drafts. These guys probably wont end up on my squads per their current ADPs.
Same with Gates. The only decision I have to make regarding him is whether it's worth using up a bench spot for him.Good call on Gronk so far.
