What are the NYG?
I thought I understood who they were going into the season. Run first, rely on a stellar defense to win the turnover battle.
They are none of those things.
We didn't really know who would emerge from the 4 WRs. 10 games in, all we've really learned is Hixon is a better KRer than anyone realize, and Super Mario has stone hands. Nicks is a playmaker but is still a WR3, Manningham is coming off his 2nd best game, and Boss has become a RZ favorite.
Smith is involved every week on a relative basis, but he is what he is - a good route runner with a nose for the first down marker. The first four games was a nice bonus, but all that has happened since is he regressed to what was expected. For FF purposes, he's a solid WR3 (WR4 on my team with the emergence of MSW and hoping Jennings has turned it around).
Actually, if you remove Weeks 2-4 (28-331-4), it is remarkable how steady and consistent his production has been:
6-80-0
3-70-0
4-44-0
4-69-0
8-68-0
8-57-1
4-79-0
5.29 - 66.71 average
6.50 - 79.80 with the hot streak included
Not a guy you will ride to a trophy, but if any of your other options face a tough matchup, he's the rock steady guy you plug in as a safe option.
I have no complaints about my 11th round draft choice.

I thought I'd take a look how smith did compared to other WRs in my main PPR league. Here we go:
Week 1: T-21st
Week 2: 3rd
Week 3: T-14th
Week 4: 1st
Week 5: T-34th
Week 6: T-41st
Week 7: T-26th
Week 8: 16th
Week 9: T-13th
Week 10: BYE
Week 11: T-29th
Overall: 9th
I'd say, offhand, as the Giants slumped, Smith slumped as well. Also, Nicks emerging has cut into his numbers a bit but overall, I don't see how someone could complain about the production of a guy who puts ups WR2/3 points and occasionally WR1 points for a guy who was likely drafted as a WR3/4.

pulled the trigger just before last week to a nyg fan that was hurting at wr. Got back Vernon Davis and threw in Heath Miller to boot. Am very happy as I have depth at wr, but yeah that streak had everyone's hopes soaring high for him. Eli looks for the open man, so don't think he can't have another 120-2td game, but the Ds are focusing on him, which opens up for the rest of the team. last week's recipient was the boss man. He will though, as stated, get you a steady 6-70, which is rock solid in PPR, not too great in non ppr, but consistent...
