Stevie Johnson in San Diego. (1 Viewer)

Eminence

Anyone else see value here? Rivers is easily the best QB Stevie Johnson has ever played with. Weird thing about Stevie Johnson is that he has a history of being productive. Feels like a Randall Lloyd year.

I assume he's not being overdrafted either.

 
Randall Lloyd?

... But yes I like Stevie Johnson a lot this year. And there are plenty of people that see the value this year ... Very cheap, and WILL produce.

 
Yea there's something here I like about Steve Johnson as well. Quick passing offense. Guy who excels at route running and a smart QB who's accurate with a quick release. Not expecting a ton out of him, but should make a worthy stab at a WR5, especially in a PPR format

 
Randall Lloyd was born to play wr. He's a lab creation mix of Antwan Randle El, Malcom Floyd, and Brandon Lloyd. Kid's got WR pedigree.

The value is quickly disappearing now, though. With all the press he's gotten he's going progressively higher in MFL 10s. He went in the mid 10th round of my most recent two. That's not necessarily a bad spot, as guys on the board still were the likes of Stills, Ruben Randle, Cruz, John Brown, Quick, Marvin Jones, etc, which seems OK in terms of relative value and upside, but the days of Stevie in the late rounds seem long gone. That said, I do like some of those guys over him so I won't be drafting Sevie that early.

 
Everything I have read has him in the slot with Allen/Floyd on the outside. Will he get enough targets do be relevant? I'd rather draft guys who have clear role

Eddie Royal got enough targets to be a bye week filler, and I think Johnson is much better then Royal. You are also getting Johnson in the 15th or so round. What guys are available at that time with a clear role?

I also don't know how much upside he'll have. He's fine for a very late round pick but I'd rather take a chance on a guy with more boom potential. He'll be competing with Allen, Floyd, LaDarius Green, and Antonio Gates when he returns, for catches not even including the RBs. Danny Woodhead should be healthy as well and could vulture more receiving opportunities.

i'd prefer quick, Britt, and Marvin Jones to name a few and probably most of the names referred to above, but that's just me

He went undrafted in my 16 round 12 team PPR last night. I selected Reuben Randle and Baldwin in the 14th and 16th rounds ahead of him but have been wondering if I should take a flyer on Stevie.

Pretty much same as me, went undrafted last night and want to fit him in but have Julio, Hopkins, Brown, Decker and Adams. Considering a switch for Adams but like his potential upside should one of the Packers WR miss any time.

 
Interesting flier, he's the best WR on the roster at getting separation.(Keenan is terrible)

I expect him to outscore all but two of those WR's in PPR.

 
he looked fantastic yesterday and despite being outshined by Allen, is clearly going to have some value moving forward. It will be interesting to see how things shake out when Gates come back in week 5.

 
I'd like to thank these boards and rotoworld for hitting on some of my most owned, lower drafted players... stevie, woodhead, decker, abdullah, Lewis...

 
Johnson's 11 catches on 12 targets is the best percentage in the league (not sure about qualifiers, like excluding WRs that are 1/1).

Humongous value considering where he was drafted. I'm still having a tough time plugging him over the likes of John Brown and Moncrief in PPR though.

In one league, Johnson and Crabtree are unexpectedly scoring about the same as Cobb for me, about top 15ish. It is just two games, so small sample, but they both seem well positioned going forward. Gates return could create more space to operate in between the 20s, though no doubt it would almost certainly negatively impact scoring opps.
