Bandwagons are awesome.All these bandwagons have people going crazy. Extraordinarily popular delusions and the madness of crowds.
Pump the brakes a bit. He's been Palmer's favorite target because Jacoby Ford and Denarius Moore have been out.'krsone21 said:Better get Rod Streater while you can. He has just been named a starter for the 3rd preseason game for the Raiders. If Streater looks really good during this game, which I think he will, he could secure the #3 WR spot on the Raiders roster. It wouldn't surpise me at all if he pushed for more and more playing time as the season goes on. The coaches love him and Palmer loves throwing to him. So far this preseason Streater has been Palmers favorite target. Palmer and Streater seem to have a great rapport.
Now step on the gas a little...Jacoby Ford is in a walking boot and is said to be "aways out" while DMoore is not practicing and probably is shut down until the season opener. Streater keeps making plays up and down the field with no helmet taps. He's proven to be a warrior, and has that rare talent of being a durable Raider wideout.Pump the brakes a bit.

Ford has been in both games and has stunk up the joint. Had 2-3 drops in the first game and didn't do much in the second.Pump the brakes a bit.

Uh, when was this proven and how? I'm not trying to be argumentative, just wondering what you base this on.Jacoby Ford is in a walking boot and is said to be "aways out" while DMoore is not practicing and probably is shut down until the season opener. Streater keeps making plays up and down the field with no helmet taps. He's proven to be a warrior, and has that rare talent of being a durable Raider wideout.
no criner? 2 tds and over a hundy tonightStreater is going to end up a starter in week one I think. D Moore is working on his hammy and Ford is out indefinitely. DHB is a lock as well. Setting the week one Raiders wideouts, I see Streater, DHB and Moore as the starters. Pay close attention to Streater. He seems to be Carson's security blanket right now.
I think you're forgetting someone...i see streater moore and criner as the week 1 wideouts
He picked him up off waiver wire cause the other Oakland WRs weren't available...then he saw his 2 TD stat line from last night and failed to realize it was against 3rd stringers with Pryor as his QB on luckyass throws.Criner isn't starting - I have no idea on what you are basing this.
DHB was raw coming out. He came into his own last year and will start. He's looked pretty good this pre-season too.Lot of young talent in Oakland. Right now I'm liking DHB, Criner and Moore, but I can see a guy like Streeter contributing. This could end up being a situation where 4 or 5 guys put up fantasy depth numbers but they keep each other from being fantasy starter worthy.no dhb is not that good
You guys think he will be the starting KR/PR as well untill Ford heals, or possibly for good if he outperforms him?Did you see the catch DHB made on the deep sideline route last game? Dude has definitely improved a ton since his rookie year.Streater looks polished as **** for a rookie. Criner looks good too.And of course there's last year's favorite, Denarious, who a lot of people were predicting to make a huge jump this season. Palmer and Coach Allen still talking of him as the starting X, which is the deep route WR. So far it seems like Streater has at least locked up the back up X spot to Moore. We'll see if further opportunity to start comes. Ford's injury may play a role for Rod as well.
I don't think Streater does returns. Might be wrong about that, but don't recall seeing him there.You guys think he will be the starting KR/PR as well untill Ford heals, or possibly for good if he outperforms him?
Hardly in the Welker mold at 6-3 and 200 lbs, but he does look like the big move-the-chains guy that the Raiders have been missing since Zack Miller left town. I initially thought that role would go to Juron Criner (and it still may eventually) but it looks like Streater is the best bet in the short term.Where are you guys getting that he's a deep threat? Seems much more like a reliable possession receiver in the mold of Welker.
we don't really know that yet. He averaged over 20 ypc in his last year at Temple (even thought it was only on 19 catches). He also ran a 4.37 at his pro day (yes I know, pro day times arent really to be trusted). They run mostly short stuff in Knapp's offense, but he got open for a deep crossing pattern last week (Palmer was wide on the throw).Time will tell.Where are you guys getting that he's a deep threat? Seems much more like a reliable possession receiver in the mold of Welker.
why wouldn't you (with one of the last picks)? Is anyone even drafting him in recent mocks??Man, seriously tempted to grab him in my redraft.
I am big as fan of Streater as anyone, but I wouldnt drop Rice for him. I guess your league has short benches.Already had the draft. Would have to drop Sydney rice. Thinking about it. I really think he becomes the catch leader on this team. They don't have anyone else who is actually consistent underneath. I could see him catching 70 balls for around 900 and 6.
...and I own Streater. Oddly, Streater seems to be this year's version of...D. Moore (whom I also own in dynasty). Oakland WRs are a lot of sizzle...until you start them in meaningful games. We'll see I guess. But multiple threads on a guy can mean people are grasping for lightning in a bottle and looking for the next (insert guy who came out of nowhere here).Nah that's when you know people are searching (reaching) for something, and have united on a common player. Typical rookie hype. There have been dozens of Streaters over the years. Once the season begins, he's just another guy. 20-25 catches 350 yards 1 TD. He's a dynasty project only.
