PLease be real , Lendale White might even lose his starting job next season if Henry has a good camp ......Top 4 rookies again besides the obvious #1 pick ( McFadden ) the rests are big gambles nothing even close of being a safe pick.Grant will give you 1500 rushing yards , 400 receiving yards and around 10 - 15 total Td's .I have Grant in a dynasty and if you take a look at next season rookie draft i would only trade him for the first pick nothiiiing less .
In PPR it's reasonable if your team has needs at WR. My view is that Grant has the potential to be a top 10 RB next year and even if I don't like his dynasty outlook he's valuable. I don't see Cotch or Chambers outscoring him in PPR or otherwise. My concern with Chambers is that his upside is limited as he's at best the #3 option behind LT and Gates.
A top 20 overall dynasty pick is only worth a 1.05-1.07 rookie pick to you? Wow, I guess it's that time of year where we can all unload this middle rookie picks for 10 times their true value.As far as the Portis/Grant debate that was going on goes, I am actually stuck with a predicament in my main dynasty where I am probably going to have to move one due to contract issues.I have been on Portis' jock for years (check my post history if you don't believe me), but he's the guy I'll likely be moving over Grant. I think Grant is way underrated, and I would probably take him straight up. Add in the fact that Portis still has a lot more trade value because some crazy people actually think GB might draft a RB early and that makes the choice easy.
The bottom line is that you're looking at an above average TE and a couple middle of the pack WRs for a guy who looks to have the makings of a total stud RB. I think you'd have to be crazy to consider moving Grant for a pile of mediocre players.
Grant is 2 years and 4 months older than Lynch.I'm not sure how people who saw Grant play last year could be down on him. I think they are just sorry they missed out.
Not at all, 3 yds and a cloud of dust does nt cut it , that s all White brings you .That s the problem on the Titans offense no speed no big play ability .
I just got done trading Reggie Bush for Ryan Grant, Straight up, non PPR.
Barlow in his best days did nt look half as good as Grant.Rodgers will get the job done and why not a better job Then Favre the last few seasons , he has the weapons good arm and is a smart kid with some moves so he should do well and Grant will easily be a top 5 FF RB next season.I am a Grant owner and already had a few offers that i turned down like Turner for Grant straight up .
I'M TAKING HIM AT 1.12 NEXT YEAR!Easily huhGot to love the Shark tank
If you own him and love him, great, keep him; but I for one am not a believer yet. People forget that Wynn had beaten him out (and looked very, very good) before his injury. What happens when Grant gets injured and Wynn steps in and does great? Or B. Jackson? I just don't see that situation as settled enough to consider Grant elite. I would rather have Mendenhall or Stewart as I think they both are capable of being franchise RBs.Plus, with Favre retiring I think GB is going to see alot more of 8 in the box. I definitely don't think you can assume Grant will put up 1500 yards like some of you suppose.I would value him at 1.04 in a rookie draft.
Deshawn Wynn never reached 80 yards rushing in any game he played in. Compared to Grant who had 5 games of 100+ rushing during the regular season, and a 200+ yard rushing game in the playoffs. From everything i have seen, there is no reason to believe that Wynn is a better RB than Grant.
Obviously, you are a stats guy--read the stats line and make a judgement. I watched the games and I am telling you that Wynn ran with aggression and power and speed. And, if Grant is so much better why did he not win the starting job until Wynn got hurt?
didnt they trade for Grant because they werent thrilled about what they had in B.Jackson, Morency, and Wynn? When did that trade happen? Its tough for a relatively unknown player to walk on to a team and be handed the starting job. I dont think there is any question that Grant is cemented as the starting rb now. just my opinion though
I watched both Wynn and Grant, and Wynn looked like your average backup RB. Wynn's got power, agression, but lacks elite speed and playmaking ability. And im guessing that the fact that the Packers didn't get Grant until after spring training and just a week before the regular season started was a pretty big reason why he wasn't ahead of Deshawn Wynn on the depth chart immediately.
Wynn won the job in preseason. Grant wasn't even there. They traded for him September 1st. There first game was Sept 9.
No. Brandon Jackson started the first two weeks. Wynn took over in week 4. Is it too much to ask that people get their facts straight?
He is an 'exclusive rights free agent' starting this season. His yrs in NY didn't account for Free Agency, Pack basically has him for 2 yrs at the minimum contract unless Grant holds out (yeah right). Pack may give him a modest deal now rather than a big payday down the road, this article talks about his situation...http://www.packersnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/a.../801250604/1989
You either own White and you dont own Grant, I would trade White for a Bag of chips right now.
If Wynn was so great why didn't he get more carries? In week 2 he carried the ball 10 of 27 carries, then went silent for 2 weeks, then in week 5 he got 13 carries and Morency got 9. Even in those "best games" he only had 46% of the carries. For the year he avg'd 4.06 ypc. He had 2 decent games 10-50-2 vs. the Giants in the week 2 when they were horrible and 13-78-1 vs. Chi in week 5. Other than that there's nothing there. Wynn is a Ladell Betts smokescreen.az_prof said:
Understanding full well the flaming I'm about to get....You have looked at the Pack's divisional competition, right? At worst they just came down to equal with these guys, and if Rodgers can do anything then they're still in the driver's seat. "In the toilet" isn't exactly the way I'd describe their chances. Not exactly the AFC South over there.
If there are 5 WR's.....why would a defense have 8 in the box again? Is Grant playing QB....lol
Was he in the bullpen?awesomeness said:
If you don't have someone to throw the ball it puts pressure on the running game. If you don't think losing a HOF QB will negatively impact ALL of the skill players on offense then you either have a great deal of faith to expect Rodgers to replace Favre or you don't know much about football. The fact is that Favre has made a lot of average players look good over the years and GB fans are about to see how much. If I am a Driver, Jennings, James or Grant owner I try to deal them before we see how bad that offense is next year.
Ummm...have you looked at the division?How are their chances down the toilet?Driver is getting older...but he is still quite effective and looked young enough running 90 yards down the field in the NFC Title game.Rodgers is unproven for sure.Grant is a one year wonder? Could be. But I think he showed he had the talent to be more than that for the Packers.
Id be surprised if any of his owners gave him up for that. In the leagues im trying to aquire him, the asking price is either a fringe top 10 rb or a top 10 wr
