I own Reggie in one league and I am curious what his numbers looked like last year with Garcia throwing to him versus McNabb. IIRC, he did most of his damage with McNabb last year, but the two just do not seem to be insynch.

5'11, 186 lbs, AND he's white? How's this guy an NFL receiver? Especailly in Philly?
brown is definately a buy low cadidate. even more so in dynasty leagues as he is only in his 3rd year and will get better. i truely believe that mcnabb will turn it around as he has had games like he had last week before and turned it around. even if he doesnt, i am big on kevin kolb.
dont loose patience if you can afford to do that. mcnabb over shot him twice in the endzone this year. once in week one and once in week 2. as i said in my previous post, i think mcnabb will turn it around as this has happened to him before and he has turned it around. he just has to make the adjustments. i truely believe it is only a matter of time.

I didnt like that one of those "overshoot" incidents hit Mr. Brown right on his hands, unless my eyes are going bad. I will play him this week with the thought he probably starts getting loose.

Um, let's see... how about this laundry list: Greg Lewis, Billy McMullen, Freddie Mitchell, Todd Pinkston, James Thrash, and so on, and so on, and so on.

i dropped him last year and he came back strong to haunt me. it was the new qb i beleive.
Because the black race was once enslaved in this country and to use their race as an adjective when referring to their occupations or roles can be interpreted as insensitive.

I don't think Reggie Brown will live up to his ADP this season and am beginning to have serious doubts about his long term potential. He doesn't seem to have the physical ability to overcome getting jammed at the line of scrimmage nor does he seem to have the wheels to outrun defenders down field. After watching the first two Eagles games, Jason Avant has been the most impressive receiver on the team, but that's not saying a whole lot because the passing offense has been so weak. Brown had a weak training camp and a bad pre season and has never been in this type of role before where he's expected to be the WR1 on a team. Sure, you can point to McNabb to an extent but I just don't see Brown as WR1 material in the NFL. Just my .02

I have never been impressed with Reggie Brown. He is not able to handle the tough CB's and even struggles against the average ones. He doesn't run sharp patterns and isn't physically impressive either. He gets easily rattled when teams bump him at the line and thus has a difficult time getting separation. If I had Brown in a league (which I don't) I would wait for his breakout game and trade him immediately after that game.
That's exactly what I'm waiting for and benching him until whenever, sheesh!

I drafted Reggie Brown earlier than I'd care to mention. He had some nice games last year and I figured with McNabb back he'd fit into the #1 WR slot in Philly, a productive position. Safe to say if the offense drops 50+ points and he gets 22 yards receiving, he's not going to produce. Oh well. Time to cut the chord on this chump. :(

I'm thinking of cutting him myself, but I know when I do he's going to post a 15/200/3 game. I just don't see myself starting him anymore outside of bye-week replacement.
I agree with the above....how can you put up 50+ points and only get 22 yards as the #1 WR?
The owner of Curtis dropped him earlier this week. Pretty sure he'll be long gone before the waiver order gets to me.
Honestly I'll be pretty relieved to get rid of ANY Eagles WR on my FF team...I'll let somebody else deal with this headache on their roster. Same with Curtis. He'll be a light switch all season I'm sure.

Two of the Curtis TD's happened when the safety bit on Reggie Brown's route. They just did not respect Curtis, and he burned them. Now that Curtis had such a big game, teams will probably pay more attention to him, and Brown will start to get some big plays.

I have to disagree. On a day when McNabb has one of his best passing days in the NFL, Reggie only goes 2-23! Terrible. He's as bad as a 5th WR. He has exactly zero points in my league.I might just cut him. He looks bad and he gets no separation from the DBs. And if the throw isn't perfect or if he's gonna take a hit before he completely pull it in, forget about it, he won't catch it.

You also need to be talented to make big plays , i dont think Brown is a #1 or #2 receiver in the NFL. A third on a team OK but 1 -2 no.

Well, it seems his value won't get much lower. His owners are talking about dropping him or leaving him benched.
If you can get him cheap .. and I mean off waivers, or WR5 cheap .. the positives are ..
1) In an offense that is pass first, so he should at least see decent target numbers each week.
2) Has produced well in the past, yes, some of his circumstances have changed but he does have some talent.
3) The Philly SOS for QB and WR is very nice. especially week 14, 15, 16.
If I can get him cheap, I would like having him as a WR5 on the bench, as a bye week player with possible upside in the weeks to come.

I am thinking of droping Brown and picking up K Curtis off WW
mcnabb said they were rolling the coverage to brown. plus, with the absence of the deep passing game and mcnabbs accuracy problems the first two weeks, detroit was not respecting the deep ball in the first half (when most of the yards and tds happened). i think if philadelphia continues to show that they have a deep passing game ( and they will ) things will open up more for brown underneath and you will see things start to balance out between brown and curtis. if brown was a buy low candidate last week, he really needs to be sought after this week as a buy low candidate. especially in dynasty leagues.

I own Brown in a dynasty league and would love to unload him. He's in a good situation but just isn't very good IMO. The Cedric Benson of WRs.

he had his chance.
2 points a week isn't going to cut.

I don't know - he only had 2 targets yesterday in a game where it was bombs away. I understand the coverage rolling to him to the benefit of Curtis, but 2 targets is not what you want to see from an alleged #1 WR on his team. At this point, I think Avant could have more upside.

I have Reggie Brown, Evans, and Hackett on one team....my Wr's are getting murdered.
How much upside can we expect from Brown here on out?

I think you will start to see Curtis command the respect he hasn't gotten after last week.
Remember the Dolphins-Pats game last year where Welker just killed the Pats int he first half, a la Curtis & the Lions?
Then in the second half we saw adjustments by the Pats to take away the Dolphins best WR that (and frankly any) day: Welker. Teams then started paying more attention to Welker int he coming weeks, once it was proven he could burn you.
I strongly suspect teams that weren't terribly worried about Curtis before will be gameplanning for him now. Look for sove of the heavy coverage to roll Curtis' way, and for Brown to be able to put up solid numbers, but with performances all over the map.

Im pleased to announce that I just ridded myself of Reggie once and for all. Got Burce for him in case anyone is wondering what he's going for. I would have held on to him rather than dropping him, but he was definitely not smelling the starting lineup for me, and this is a 16 team league.
I'm STRONGLY leaning towards dumping him this week. He's been awful, and I've got too many injury issues (Westy, Henry, Jordan, Heap, etc) to keep him hanging around.

He was getting some looks this past weekend as Curtis seemed to be getting more attention from the defense.
