Grabbed him in the FFPC tonight off waivers, was mildly shocked he was available but then again I myself passed on him 20x in the draft. I wanted someone to flex, he is gonna be up n down but he seems to grasp the offense and I think Pryor has good chemistry with him, also watching off NFLR.
I picked up Marlon Brown this week instead of Streater. Already have Roberts and Stills on my roster who I also prefer to Streater. If I didnt lose Vereen, Id probably consider dropping Hillman for Streater but now he's my RB4.
Probably not changed that much. As I recall he was also working well with Flynn. From a Rotoworld piece in late July:
FWIW I picked up both Hartline and Streater and I like Streater better for this week, Hartline better for the year. QB inconsistency will be more evident on the Raiders than the Dolphins imo. If DMC does go down at some point, I would take Streater over Hartline with no hesitation. not only will they have to force the ball downfield to stay in games, no DMC means Pryor will run more as well. Scramble plays for Pryor seems to be a boon for Streater stats.
I had slightly better options this week for my last flex spot. However, I gave Streater some serious consideration for that last flex spot. I think Streater is being seriously undervalued this season because he is on the "Raiders".
Would you drop Blackmon for streater in a non-ppr?
In a perfect world I would not. I think Blackmon is the better physical speciman when it comes down to it. But some things scare me about Blackmon. The first thing that scares me is his suspension from the substance abuse policy. Another is Gabbert. Until they replace Gabbert I think Blackmon will be limited in what he can do. Which if the Jags keep on playing like they did last week Bridgewater may be coming to the Jags.
Plus, with the rookie Pugh at RT they're going to need to leave Myers in to block more --> more targets for the WRs and more room for Streater to work over the middle. Palmer's going to need a new security blanket.
With Moore being dinged up as well, Streater may see more balls being thrown his way. I would also keep a close eye on the TE Rivera and see how is chemestry is with McGloin. McGloin threw a sweet TD to Rivera in the Houston game.
I think so. Matt Shaub is likely an upgrade at QB, so it can only affect him positively and while James Jones is a nice veteran WR, it's debateable at this point who will be the recveiver who sees the most targets. Jones and Streater can be a pretty nice sneaky starting duo.
I like Streater as a player and kept eyeballing him in the late rounds of the PDSL and SSL drafts, but couldn't bring myself to do it. Schaub is most likely shell shocked. There's an article in the Schaub thread that should scare you off of him. And even if Schaub was any good this year, there's just too much competition for targets. Jones will be starting and Moore will give Streater a run for his money as the WR2. Holmes and Criner are no slouches, either. The loss of Veldheer is the last nail in the coffin. I think the soonest Streater has value is 2015, but more likely 2016.
I think Streater is better than all of those guys - but your points are valid. At best he's probably and inconsistent boom/bust form week to week player anyway.
I wouldn't buy Streater anywhere unless it was at a very cheap price.
FYI, the coaches love Streater. He is exactly the type of player they are looking for. I think Streater is so undervalued right now it's not even funny. Look what he did last year with the likes of Pryor and McGloin throwing too him. In the second half of the season when McGloin took over (an actual QB that knew how to throw the ball) Streater really took off. I think having a stable veteran like Schaub will only increase Streater's value.
I just got him at WR77 in a 16 team draft as my WR6...sick value. In fact, I would be surprised if he did not end up as my WR4. This is the guy who will be Kendall Wright for 2014, someone you draft late, anguish the first few weeks about putting him in, and then laugh at yourself as to why you ever doubted him.Dr. Octopus said:
Yeah, I got him in the 15th in SSL1 as my WR6...I get the best ball format thing (and hey, that is where we got him), but I also think this guy has made chicken salad out of chicken crap, and will do fine if Schaub falters, but if doesn't, Gold, Jerry!FUBAR said:
Regarding the bolded, it's important to note that in fact the QB play took a significant step backward, and he still improved despite it. You have to consider how much more tangible improvement he'd have had if Carson Palmer was still the QB or even wonder how much better he could be under the stable QB situation of a Matt Schaub. Streater is really underrated as a football player.
Raiderfan, I assume you watch the team a lot. What do you say to the people who think Holmes is so much better than Streater? If he is, won't he eclipse Streater, along with Jones? Jones starts for sure this year and next I would assume. And is Moore so hurt and injury prone that he will fade and not be a big competition for targets?
Moore is maddeningly inconsistent. He will give you a couple of good games that makes you think he has finally taken the next step and then he will disappear for a few games. He is also inconsistent in his route running which I know frustrated a veteran like Palmer. I think that if the Raiders had drafted a WR early in the 2014 draft like in either round 1 or 2 I think Moore would have been the odd man out and traded.
