Reggie Wayne (1 Viewer)

[3nOut]

Per CBS:

Wayne now has one touchdown in his last seven games and his numbers took a big hit on Sunday as QB Peyton Manning produced one of his worst outings in a while. All receivers have games like this on occasion, but Wayne's owners had to be expecting him to score more than he has done so far in 2010. In Week 11, Indianapolis plays at New England, and Wayne should continue to be started in all Fantasy formats.

Wayne is a great receiver and started the season well enough, but I have recently been considering benching Wayne in my league. My league is a TD heavy league so without his usual TD production, he has fallen to WR22 in my league. Using our scoring system he's averaging only 3 points per game the last 6 weeks. He's only scored 3 times this year and its becoming a concerning trend that goes back to last season. The emergence of other receivers and double coverage on Wayne are probably the biggest factors.That said, do you see his numbers going up for the remainder of the season or will this trend continue? I have other WRs scoring more than him on my bench and can't afford to keep playing him for the kind of production he's been providing.

I will be happy to take Reggie Wayne on my team. With all the injuries to the other Indy wr's Wayne could be a stud down the stretch.

 

[Dez]

I am so glad I traded Bowe for him about 4 weeks ago

My record since the trade from 5-1 to 5-5

 

[Shutout]

The Colts are hurting but a couple of things going for him is he's still Manning's go to guy, he typically has a lull game prior to Patriots week, and he normally is very active in the Patriots games.

I think putting him in the slot, etc will help him a lot. With all the guys out, he was just getting doubled constantly. A second week moving him around will help.

While I certainly won't disagree with you about the fact that Wayne COULD be big down the stretch, the injuries have been here for weeks and Wayne keeps putting up crappy numbers.I'm wondering if he's lost a step and can't get the separation anymore. If he was getting openm, a quarterback as great as Manning would have found him.He's killing my team right now. There's nothing worse than a "stud" who's constantly giving you minimal points. You're afraid to bench him and he keeps giving you WR4 numbers.

 

[FantasyTrader]

In my experience, when dealing with a WR as talented as Wayne it's right about the time a thread pops up wondering WTF? that he goes bonkers. I'm a frustrated owner as well but these things have a way of correcting themselves of the course of a full season.

 

[Kuz]

I would be concerned. One of the reasons I didn't really want Wayne this year was because of all of the other options that Manning has - Clark/Garcon/Collie etc. Now two out of the three are hurt & he still hasn't been doing much. If I had better options going forward, I could see benching him.

If you're asking that quesiton its pretty apparent you are not watching him play. There s nothing wrong with Reggie. The Colts are a MASH unit. They started moving Reggie around last week to get him off the constant double teams. Its gonna take a week or so to get that flowing. he hasn't been used like that since the Harrison days. How can he be killing your team right now? He has had ONE bad game and is the #7 WR in fantasy right now, almost identical in points to AJ, Maclin, and Q. If your team is suffering, its a bigger problem than what Wayne is doing.

 

[Doug B]

This would be heavily dependent on individual league scoring rules. The OP reports that Wayne is #22 in his league. Must be a PPR/non-PPR comparison.

(PPR leagues aren't yet the majority, are they? People often assume that every league is PPR and sometimes seem surprised that non-PPR leagues exist)

Well, obviously for your league's scoring format he shouldn't be benched. In my league, he's tied for 32nd WR overall with Fitzgerald. Reggie's one of those guys right now where your individual system is huge.That said, I wholeheartedly agree there's nothing wrong with Reggie and he'll be fine.

 

[Diamond]

I'd be curious to see his detailed target stats, anybody got a link? I know he has a lot of targets but I haven't seen many at all that were down the field (ie: 20yds or more). That was always a big part of his game, and now Garcon/Collie seem to get all of those looks. To me, that would be an indication that he's lost a step and the Colts know it.

 

[DocHolliday]

Yep. The public thinks Wayne is done. He is going to go off this weekend.

 

[strifetoe]

I felt like he was getting the Randy Moss treatment. So I traded him last week for Michael Vick.

$$$$

 

[Wombat1]

He's frustrating me too, and if you have watched the games he is still targeted like crazy but does seem to be double covered almost every play. But I think it was two weeks ago where he had the 11 catch 80 yard game or whatever, there were two times where he dropped what would have been touchdowns, they would have been tough catches but still. If he catches one of those this thread probably doesn't exist, so I am not worried, just frustrated.

Also, I remember a couple of weeks back on Monday night, the Colts were on the Texans 43"ish" and Reggie got easily 3 steps behind the defender and Peyton overthrew him at the 10. Woulda been a walk-in 43 yarder. There's so little that seperates a WR1 performing like it vs. struggling.

That must be rough have two of the top 5-7 WR overall, ranked below 28 other guys...what is your system? That just seems weird, given the fact that Wayne's yardage is right up there in the top 10 despite his lack of TD catches.

He's killing Peyton Manning the past couple of weeks.

http://wp.advancednflstats.com/teamyear.ph...&season=allActually, his deep target #s (15+ yards on that website) are about the same as Garcon's (about the same as Garcon's and slightly higher than Collie's). %-wise, that's actually higher than last year. His catch% is down, but only about 2%.

I think he's just having a bit of dry spell and Manning arguably had one of the worst games in the past several years this past week. I for one, think he will be fine moving forward and likely pick it up, starting this week. I also think the Colts have found themselves in some strange situations - specifically, they seem to be trying not to lose, instead of trying to win. I also think the problem is more a function of Manning (he doesn't seem to be quite as "on" lately) than Wayne.

Yes, my apologies for overlooking that he is #22 in the OP's comment. That's kind of hard to figure how that would be. Wayne is among the leaders in yardage and is pretty good in TDs. Maybe comparatively, he ranks lower because of the crazy year some guys are having that are getting the TDs (but not neccessarily the catches), like Lloyd, White, nicks, etc. If thats the case then, yeah, someone has to be ranked under these guys that are playing so well but in reality, I guess the point is that Wayne is still doing just fine most weeks. I would guess that if Wayne is #22 in the Op's league then there are plenty of other big name guys right there with him (AJ/DJAX/FITZ, etc). They may not be living up to our spoiled super expectations of them every single week but on a whole, none of them are "killing" teams. Shonn greene is killing his team. Randy Moss and Steve Smith are killing their teams. But not these other guys.

 

[scothawk]

I have him in several dynasty leagues and Im selling in most as soon as I can in February

One league in particular I have depth at WR and really need a RB (Benson/Bradshaw/JAcobs/Caddy/Smith/Gerhart dont look enough for next year). Interesting to see what value he holds.

That is basically a td only league...

 

[FantasyTrader]

No. Plenty of players like Andre, Calvin and the aforementioned get boosted values for their 100 yd. games.

 

[John 14:6]

I have him in two leagues, a TD-only league and a PPR league. He's my top WR in the PPR league ahead of Steve Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, and Steve Johnson. I was planning on benching him in my TD-only league and starting Dwayne Bowe and Percy Harvin, but then I noticed I'm playing against Wayne and Manning in another league. I'll leave him in one more week but if he goes scoreless again I'm benching him...

 

[Macdaddy_2004]

Reggie Wayne still solid - shold have a career high in receptions with an outside shot at topping 1500 yards.

 

[thatguythere]

Been playing Wayne all year along with Peyton, waiting for the big one. Let's hope it is this week.

 

[texasheat]

94-1200-5

I guess he'll do

 

[footballguy#1]

He's got 2 more years that you can count on him to be a starter in your lineup, as long as Manning is healthy. He is at #5 in my league where I own him, and #8 in another league with slightly different scoring. Mr. reliable every year for the past 7 years.

 

[Darryl Talley]

Anyone benching him this week and for whom?

Gonna go with V-Jax over him myself.

 

[RushHour]

bump.

Not a lot of talk about this guy today. Would have crushed a few teams today when it counted.

I traded for this guy going into the playoff run and discovered he's not much fun to own. He's the worst kind of player to have - you just don't trust him, but there's really no way he can be on your bench. Never again.

Had him all year and have been suffering through the last few weeks with him in my TD heavy league. Made a good call and benched him today in favor of Blair White.

This says all you need to know about Reggie Wayne. File him away with Randy Moss and avoid at all costs next year. Blair White!!

 

[bulger2holt]

After watching him fall off the earth late last year, and with the emergence of Garcon, I wanted no part of Wayne this year.

Yeah I will file away 102 receptions 1287 yards and 5 TDs.

Yeah he was not around week 15 and 16 but he sure helped me big time to get into a position to play in week 15. It"s FF so much luck to win the post season.

But yeah I will avoid getting another 90 receptions next year.

LMFAO.
