RSP Flashback: Bills WR Naaman Roosevelt (1 Viewer)

:goodposting:

I was really surprised when he didn't get drafted, but believe it was mostly due to his slow 40 time.

Watching him in college, I always thought he had the ability to be a solid pro. Has always looked good to me when the Bills give him a shot, but for some reason he has always been stuck behind Nelson and Jones to this point. He almost didn't make the team but they got him on the practice squad and now he has a great opportunity to show what he can do.

 
Thinking about taking a flier on this guy. He did well against the Eagles after he got some PT. Will that continue? What/who are you dropping for him? Sneaky WR3 upside?

 
tough to gauge until you see how things shake out - the guy didnt have a week of practice as the WR2/WR3. Will he play inside or outside? Will Nelson play inside or outside? What will be Ruvell Martin's role with Jones out? Will Gailey scale back the offense since he is running low on receivers?

Too many questions to be answered - Stash Roosevelt and see what happens . . .

Agreed, but a week early is always better :thumbup: I think he could prove more valuable than Baldwin and Denarius Moore, since Buffalo will throw more often.

yes, but right now he is just "a guy" . . . he has the opportunity but does he have any game to be a factor?? Moore is overrated on this board but he does have some talent, and Baldwin has no QB but has done more in his brief career than the current "hero of the week" . . . I picked up Roosevelt in two leagues but I don't stare start him til he shows something . . . I am from Missouri . . .
 
I think Buffalo is plug and play at this point like SD was last year and have no problem throwing this guy out there in PPR if he's playing slot. Starting him in 4 leagues this week. Mostly thanks to Julio.

Dropped McCluster and Ocho for him in separate redrafts. Dropped Danny Ware and Michael Jenkins for him in separate dynasties.

 
Some good convo here.

Looking longer term (but still this year) shcedule-wise:

15 vs Dolphins 17 27 Free Agent

16 vs Broncos 22 21 Free Agent

17 at Patriots 12 31 Free Agent

The second column of numbers is the passing d rank. Dunno if he'd be around then or if it even matters, but it's interesting nonetheless.

 
Remember, Donald Jones is supposed to be back in 4-6 weeks . . .

In any case, Buffalo has one of the most interesting passing offenses in the league . . .

Yes on both accounts. I think I will sit tight one more week to see how it shakes out. I hope I don't regret holding onto Moore over this guy.
 
High ankle sprains are a very unpredictable injury. Even when Jones does come back, he might need to work his way back into the lineup. Roosevelt should get plenty of chances over the next month to prove what he's got.

 
i hope he has some skills . . .

PFW 2011 Draft guide says that he can't separate (4.69 40) but he has superb ball skills - that limited skillset might be enough with which Gailey can do something . . .

 
I'm not sure I get the bump. My RSP suggests he was maxed and had limited upside. Are we saying he's good now or he's just a fill in?

 
the slot receiver in the Bills offense is valuable in PPR leagues and tends to be the 1st or 2nd option for Fitz because he is very comfortable throwing over the middle in the spread attack. Last year we saw Roscoe Parrish start out hot, then David Nelson finished strong. This year, Nelson started out strong and now it looks like Roosevelt could move into that role with Nelson moving outside to replace Jones.

Just based on the opportunity, he's worth a look. Also he was very productive in college at a school not known for producing NFL talent.

It is intereting to see a QB lock in on routes/position versus an individual receiver. You usually hear the exact opposite.
 
Could possibly be a game where he gets a fair amount of targets... the Giants have the ability to get to the passer quickly, which could cause Fitzpatrick to focus on quick passes, which would be the name of the game for Roosevelt.

Nice call. :thumbup: With Jones out 4-6 weeks, do you think things will stay this way? If Jones comes back, will it be Nelson who benefits right around FF Playoffs time?

Squeezed a nice bye week cover out of him. Do I think he can continue? Well... the 1 catch per game pace, sure! But I wouldn't expect him to go to the house every time. Jones should be back in about a month. I'm not convinced it's his job, though. If Roosevelt plays well, he could hang onto the job. The offense is going to run through Fred Jackson, and Steve Johnson will be the first WR in line. Beyond that, the crystal ball gets awful cloudly. Nelson has shown the ability to put up big numbers, but Roosevelt is currently occupying that position. While he can put up numbers for you, playing him, in lieu of further evidence, is currently a roll of the dice.
 
Looked to me like Roosevelt lined up outside for much of the game with Nelson in the slot. Not sure why they didn't go back to Roosevelt after the early TD. Didn't get another target until late in the game, IIRC.
