How about Kansas City's Baldwin (starter alongside Bowe - Bowe still a holdout)

Josh Morgan (keep hearing he's starting alongside Garcon)

 

[need2know]

How about Kansas City's Baldwin (starter alongside Bowe - Bowe still a holdout)Josh Morgan (keep hearing he's starting alongside Garcon)

also like baldwin. also buying the recent cobb buzz. I think these guys are excellent WR5 or maybe WR4 depending on your other wr

 

[Kool-Aid Larry]

I haven't heard morgan is starting

 

[SproutDaddy]

Hankerson will be starting for Skins.

 

[Lash]

just now studying a 13th rd redraft pick choice of Collie vs SMoss

 

[David Yudkin]

How about Kansas City's Baldwin (starter alongside Bowe - Bowe still a holdout)Josh Morgan (keep hearing he's starting alongside Garcon)

I think both of this are somewhat inaccurate. Breaston is still in the mix in KC and Morgan is not one of the 3 guys working with the first team in WAS (Garcon, Hankerson, and Moss).

 

[32 Counter Pass]

Doug Baldwin

I like the Collie call HRHR

E. Bennett

S. Smith (Rams)

 

[FavreCo]

Eddie Royal or Brown. Whoever gets the so called #3 WR spot over there because Meachem and Floyd are not #1 caliber WRs. They will however be treated as such by the opposition, draw the best CB and Rivers will look elsewhere.

 

[Itchy Amos]

I think Danny Amendola might have a chance to be serviceable, particularly in ppr leagues. I think the Rams really missed his presense last year. I also think Emmanuel Sanders has a chance to do something if Wallace's hold out lasts into the season.

Santana Moss could have a nice year if the rookie QB is the real deal.

 

[amicsta]

Based on FF Calculator ADP data, I like the following WR's in rounds 10+:

Greg Little (10.02)-The addition of Josh Gordon has pushed Little down in drafts a bit, but he can still catch around 80 balls if/when Weeden locks in on him as a primary target a la Justin Blackmon.

Nate Washington (10.02) and Kendall Wright (11.08)-I expect both of these players to rise through August, but with Britt hurt and likely to be suspended, these guys will get plenty of looks in Chris Palmer's vertical passing attack.

Randall Cobb (11.01)-Cobb is quick and agile and has gotten back some strong reviews thus far in camp. In the Packers offense, the to-be slot man and kick returner should return value higher than his draft position.

Chad Johnson (12.04)-Less upside than these other guys, but still undervalued imo. If he's the #1 WR for MIA he could flirt with WR3 numbers

Brandon LaFell (12.04)-I'm shocked his ADP is so low. LaFell should open the year as the #2 receiving option in Rod Chudzinski's downfield passing offense. LaFell's ability to high point the ball and snatch it from defenders should be perfect for this style of play.

Jon Baldwin (12.09)-Been spoken about already this thread. I only like him as long as Bowe holds out. The Chiefs offense will be too run heavy to support more than one fantasy relevant WR imo.

Vincent Brown (12.10)-Other than Malcolm Floyd, Brown probably has the best ball skills of any Chargers WR. In their vertical offense, Brown's skill set should eventually win out, though owners may need to be patient for a few weeks.

Emmanuel Sanders (13.10)-Similar to Baldwin, Sanders has great upside if his teammate, Mike Wallace, continues to hold out into the season. Even if Wallace reports, Sanders has a chance to post WR3 type numbers in Todd Haley's no-huddle-heavy offense

Alshon Jeffery (13.12)-The Bear's passing attack should be better than in years prior, and it is already being talked about that Chicago could be putting in a special package of plays for Jeffery in the redzone.

 

[bulger2holt]

You can get TB Williams pretty late. I think VJax will command the double's leaving MW with mainly single coverage. I also think Freeman will have a pretty decent year. I am buying VJax in rd 5-6, Williams in rd 8-10 and Freeman in rds 9-10.

[EBF]

Jon Baldwin is an obvious one for me. First round talent entering his second year. Been working hard in the offseason. Dominating in camp.

No reason why he can't push 1000 yards. He's just as talented as Bowe.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

caucasian nook

 

[Multiple Scores]

. He's just as talented as Bowe.

Bowe is the Rodney Dangerfield of fantasy football. Nothing against Baldwin but believe Bowe is one of the most talented receivers playing.

Prime example of how undervalued Bowe is. Bowe is a beast.

 

[EBF]

So is Baldwin. First round pick with freakish measurables. Every bit the "beast" that Bowe is. Actually more of one.

 

[Monsters of the Midway]

I agree with scores and bouchard-imho Bowe is waaay more talented than Baldwin. Why? Limited observation backed by Cecil Lammey telling me that Baldwin is nothing special.

I keep reading that Baldwin is kicking ### and taking names in camp so maybe that changes, but I'm not feeling it

 

[Monsters of the Midway]

Back to the topic at hand. First of all, great idea for a topic.

Cobb is an obvious choice. My leagues give heavy bonuses to long TDs so I'm wondering where he goes-he may go in the 9th round.

Other guys I like for my league setup (sig has description)

Vincent Brown - Meachem is unproven, Floyd gets hurt constantly, he is a skilled WR

Chad Johnson - I think he still has it and there is plenty of opportunity for targets

Earl Bennett - was actually productive when he and Cutler were both healthy, inherent trust there from Vandy days. Yes Bradon Marshall is there and he's legitimately great, but the Chicago passing O in general should be better and for 2012 he's the next best guy and can be had very cheap. Bump for PPR.

Nate Washington - Britt(le) opens the door for targets and he was pretty good last year given opportunity

Steve Smith - flyer shot at STL production

Jerome Simpson could have some value, someone has to catch some passes in Minny and while I love Harvin he's no lock for 16 games

Austin Collie - talented and Indy may be throwing a lot

 

[flc735]

Josh Morgan (keep hearing he's starting alongside Garcon)

only because santana is going to play the slotmorgan should be washingtons equivalent of the giants mario manningham

 

[ffrookie]

My favorites:Santana Moss- yes I know everyone else seems to hate him but he has looked good thus far and could be worth a lot in the slot in Washington.Cobb- if he is the #3 easy choiceLaFell- looks like he is #2 at CAR and Cam should improveJeffery- with Marshall getting all of the attention he could have a very good second half of the yearSimpson- after the suspension, could do a lot of good things in a division where shootouts are likelyRandle- if either Nicks or Cruz gets hurt will have huge productionCaldwell- likely #3 for Denver which has historically been a good spot for Manning

[Sabertooth]

Randall Cobb could be ready for his breakout despite what we may think we know about the pecking order in Green Bay. I could see a 10 td season even on 45-65 catches.

 

[jurb26]

So is Baldwin. First round pick with freakish measurables. Every bit the "beast" that Bowe is. Actually more of one.

Baldwin is not in Bowe's class. Bowe is ridiculously undervalued around here, both in his talent and his fantasy value.

 

[David Yudkin]

Caldwell- likely #3 for Denver which has historically been a good spot for Manning

Third WR numbers with Manning in IND:

Looks like a bit of a shot gun blast to me.

 

[Zackattack]

Where is Titus Young? He is lighting up in camp. Detroit throws alot and he is the likely #2.

Cobb bandwagon yes.

Jacoby Ford has the ability to be the #1 there. Check his stats he has a 100 yard game last year when he was healthy.

 

[EBF]

So is Baldwin. First round pick with freakish measurables. Every bit the "beast" that Bowe is. Actually more of one.

Baldwin is not in Bowe's class. Bowe is ridiculously undervalued around here, both in his talent and his fantasy value.

Baldwin has better physical tools and was basically picked in the same spot. I'm not taking anything away from Bowe, but Baldwin is the one who has been undervalued throughout his career thus far. He's a first round pick with prototypical physical tools and yet people are practically outraged when you suggest that he could be an elite player.

[Ghost of Bill Walsh]

Anyone considering Randy Moss late as a flier? Smith doesn't have the arm to light him up downfield but he still might get redzone targets, providing he keeps his head screwed on right. I understand looking good in camp and actual games is way different but is Moss done or is he gonna help a fantasy team this year?

I am quietly watching how he pans out through TC. He could be a deep pick i would drop a 10+ round pick for him. If he starts making some noise he could go higher due to name recognition alone. I hope he is rather quiet and I would pick him late as a flyer.

Young was told not to come to mini camp earlier this year because he punched a team during weight lifting, I also heard on the radio today that he is going to miss sometime due to an injury. (I just caught the tail end of the update) Also he isn't going in the 10th round or later.

Sorry, but he's not in Bowe's league yet. Feel free to continue riding his jock, but he'll probably need another season or two to develop.

not as crazy as this ........the only thing slowing down simpson's production in cincy was targets -- when he was the guy he produced pretty well.so, he's definitely the guy in minny down the field, although harvin is a proven commodity, and rudolph is getting hype, but is harvin really even an every down option...?would I be out of my mind to suggest there are 3 viable targets in minnesota with ponder at qb?if he completes 300 balls somebody has to catch that stuff, right?could there be a very poor, possibly homeless man's welker/gronk/lloyd that you can get in the 4th/13th/last round?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

How about now? Any new names? Opinions changed?

 

[johnadams]

How about now? Any new names? Opinions changed?

Michael Crabtree has an ADP in round 11. I'd take him over every other guy mentioned so far.

 

[solorca]

Right now, my favorites are...

Randall Cobb - The hype on him has died down a little, so you're usually able to grab him after the 10th round. He's just as likely to be useless for a fantasy team as he is to blow up...but if he gets a chance, I don't think there is another WR in this range than will be as valuable. Isn't that what you're looking for frm a sleeper anyway?

Louis Murphy - Brandon Lafell is another option, but he's going a bit higher than Murphy. Murphy is largely undrafted or going very late, but with Steve Smith getting older and getting banged up occasionally, Murphy will have an opportunity to play this season. Initially it will be in 3 WR sets, but he has the potential to push Lafell for playing time, and you never know when he may get a chance to step up due to injury. He has the tools to be special, but is battling his own injury history as well. Still, it's worth a shot.

Nate Burleson - Unlike Randall Cobb, this isn't a potential upside situation, but it is an opportunity to get steady production when you need a bye week fill-in. Titus Young will be the WR2 in Detroit, but there are plenty of balls to go around in Detroit, and Burleson will still be involved. He's pretty much forgotten in fantasy circles, but he's the type of guy I will put at the bottom of my bench and use in an emergency situation.

Stephen Hill - A lot of early hype, but he's dropping quite a bit in ADP now. We all know Santonio Holmes is an idiot and will do something to screw up his chances, so Stephen Hill is likely to be the WR1 in New York. Sanchez isn't the best QB in the world, but he will still find a way to get him the ball. Tebow, when he takes over, does pretty well with speedsters. If Tebow takes over, I could see at least 3-4 huge games for Hill, just by virtue of being the fast guy that Tebow hits for a couple long receptions.

Michael Crabtree - Mentioned just above me, but I have no idea why he is being drafted this late. I'm willing to guarantee that he'll outproduce his ADP by at least 2-3 rounds in PPR leagues if he doesn't get hurt.

 

[mbuehner]

Where's lance moore going nowadays?

This. The Rodney Dangerfield of slot receivers. WR33 in PPR last season even though he missed 2 games and was limited in a couple others. You got to be able to deal with the swings but for a bye week fill in he might give you a top 10 performance and his downside is probably better than other guys you would use as a WR4 or 5, not many guys that can do that for pocket change at the end of the draft. And he could have an even better season this year if teams sell out to stop Jimmy G and with Meacham gone.

Yesterday's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel had the following article on James Jones looking good at Packers' camp. This isn't to say that Jones should be on people's radar, but rather that with a rejuvenated Jones and a not-yet-dead Donald Driver -- targets might be hard to come by and unpredicatble with the Packers.

Packers WR Jones shapes up for season

http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/jones-shapes-up-for-season-hj6lb61-167785225.html

Green Bay - Inside, he sparred five minutes at a time. Outside, he flipped tractor tires or ran the hill. For six weeks this off-season, James Jones pushed himself to the brink.

So at Total Performance Fitness in California, the Green Bay Packers wide receiver always kept a bucket or bathroom in his peripheral vision.

"We threw up, threw up, threw up, threw up, threw up," Jones said. "You throw up but you keep on going."

Remember this guy?

Donald Driver has tapped into his annual fountain of youth. Greg Jennings' return from a concussion has been smooth, the No. 1 receiver channeling his inner Allen Iverson on Cincinnati's Leon Hall last week. Randall Cobb remains the great unknown. And Jordy Nelson? He shakes his head, speechless, when asked how many random people have brought up fantasy football to him lately.

And there's Jones. On the field, it's "the same old story," he said. He realizes opportunities may be in sporadic supply. All receivers must maximize their targets. Eat, sleep, repeat - you've heard this before.

But this year - his sixth in the NFL - the 28-year-old vows he is driven by a "rookie's mind-set." The 6-foot-1, 208-pound receiver rededicated himself, admitting he hasn't worked this hard since his predraft workouts in 2007.

His career has been a success to date. Jones averages about 600 yards per season, neatly fitting into Green Bay's arsenal. Yet he's also at a crossroads of sorts. Other young players on the offense - such as Cobb and tight end D.J. Williams - are emerging. And Jones wants more. He told his trainer, Shaun Nunes, his goal is the Pro Bowl.

So that was the approach in Tracy, Calif., and here in Green Bay.

"I just took that mind-set this year," Jones said. "I took the mind-set that I was a rookie. Every time I walked in the gym, I took it that I was a rookie and I had to prove myself taking it like the team doesn't know what I can do and I have to show them. I worked that way this season every time I hit the field and every time I hit the weight room."

This is different from how he attacked the last five summers.

"Yeah, probably except my first one," Jones said. "I went back to my rookie mind-set."

Jones stumbled upon Total Performance Fitness after buying a home for himself and his mother nearby.

First, he went through a trial workout with Nunes - a grueling mash-up of cross training. Then, the two sat down. Jones wouldn't say verbatim that he felt stagnated, that he wasn't working hard enough before, but that's the sense his trainer got.

"He definitely knows he wasn't training like he did this off-season," Nunes said. "Now he knows that he has it in him to push himself above and beyond that pain threshold. . . . He really enjoyed it and I think it took him to a different level. Not only physically, but mentally."

Nunes' six-week strength and conditioning program contained plenty of weightlifting, cardio and balance-oriented workouts - anything that removed Jones from his comfort zone. One specific area of focus was Jones' reaction time, his hands. Boxing helped with that. A handful of amateur mixed martial arts fighters also trained at the gym.

Jones worked with tractor tires, sledgehammers, sleds, everything. He wanted to be challenged.

Nunes even mapped out an in-season workout regimen for Jones to follow.

"He said he has never been in this kind of shape his entire life," Nunes said. "He's been in the league for six years so he just kind of figured, 'Well, I'm here, so I made it' type of thing. I kind of wanted to re-amp him and light a fire under his butt and let him know just because you're there, it doesn't mean anything. You can get cut any day, any time."

As a free agent in 2011, Jones didn't get the big payday he hoped for, staying in Green Bay at the Hotwire-rate of $9.4 million over three years. Not a bad reward for the former third-round pick, to be sure. But a stricter work ethic could have led to more. Jones realizes that maybe he didn't attack each off-season like he should have.

The rookie mind-set is something he must be conscious of daily.

"If you go out there and you don't work hard in the off-season or now you're a vet and you relax a little bit, you're not bettering yourself," Jones said. "When you're a rookie, your mind-set is you have to come in here and prove to everybody you can play this game. That's the mind-set. I wanted to come in here and prove to everybody that I have a lot more to give."

Jones' new outlook hasn't translated to game day yet. In the exhibition opener at San Diego, though tackle Herb Taylor was flagged for holding, he dropped a potential touchdown. Still, during practice, Jones has been the team's best receiver next to Nelson.

He rarely dropped anything at Ray Nitschke Field and consistently burned cornerbacks deep - picking up where he left off with 16.7 yards per catch and seven touchdowns in 2011.

"He has to make that play and he knows that," wide receivers coach Edgar Bennett said of the San Diego drop. "That's expected. He's been making that play day in and day out in practice. So I have seen a lot of good things from James in practice. He has to continue to do it on the game field."

Added Nelson, "He's had a great camp. He came in and played well. Hopefully he gets the opportunities on the field."

Cobb has noticed Jones as well this summer. The second-year receiver doesn't see the Packers' offense reinventing the wheel. Cobb expects a formula similar to last season.

As for Jones' mind-set, he knows that feeling well.

"That's a mind-set you have to have every day, every year, every training camp, every practice," Cobb said. "Just go out there and try to prove yourself to yourself. You know what you can do but you have to go out there and do it."

Of course, one side-effect of the Packers' stocked receiving corps is trade rumors. A team like the Miami Dolphins - coached by former Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin - is hurting at receiver. It's easy to connect dots. Theoretically, Jones would make good bait for general manager Ted Thompson.

Like everybody else, Jones hears the grumblings. He says it doesn't faze him.

"Obviously you've made a couple plays if you're in the trade rumors," Jones said. "It doesn't matter, as long as I have a job. They're the ones who gave me another contract and drafted me so I like being here."

And yet Jones also wants to be a difference-maker. Jones and Nunes have stayed in touch. The trainer reaches out to Jones about once a week.

This rookie mind-set comes with veteran goals.

"He's shooting for the Pro Bowl," Nunes said. "He wants to be one of those top, elite wide receivers. He doesn't want to be just another number."

 

[Cleat Spike]

How about now? Any new names? Opinions changed?

Michael Crabtree has an ADP in round 11. I'd take him over every other guy mentioned so far.

Really is insane how far he is falling right now. Landed him at 12.12 earlier this week. Maybe it's the Moss factor, the conservative passing offense, average QB. He's still their #1, talented and finally hitting his stride with Smith while being healthy all offseason. 11th or 12 round pick that will likely be an every week WR3 start or flex.

 

[mbuehner]

Where's lance moore going nowadays?

This. The Rodney Dangerfield of slot receivers. WR33 in PPR last season even though he missed 2 games and was limited in a couple others. You got to be able to deal with the swings but for a bye week fill in he might give you a top 10 performance and his downside is probably better than other guys you would use as a WR4 or 5, not many guys that can do that for pocket change at the end of the draft. And he could have an even better season this year if teams sell out to stop Jimmy G and with Meacham gone.

Moore has 2-3 good games a year the last couple seasons but the sizzle is always better than the bite here.

Moore was in the TOP 10 four times last season in regular scoring, as high as WR4. He was also outside the top 36 seven times (excluding weeks 1 2 and 17 when he was injured. So if that held up you'd have about a 55% for a subpar day (not surprising for a bye filler of course), about 15% chance of a WR3 performance, and a 30% chance for a WR1 day. Of course that a small sample side so ymmv. A guy like Moore isn't for everyone, but for a bye week or emergency fill in to give you about a 50/50 chance of not embarrasing you, and a 1 in 3 chance of hitting a HUGE homerun, that can be a very appealing club in the ol golf bag. Especially considering he's virtually free.AND- lets not forget that slot receivers, particularly in PPR, have been known to blow up quite abruptly. Could Moore be the next Welker or Cruz? He's certainly demonstrated the ability to do so, but of course it depends more on the offense than anything he can do. So you have to throw that lightning in a bottle possibility into the mix... which is one of the reasons you draft a lot of guys late.
