Talkin' about Eddie Kennison (1 Viewer)

[Scrap Iron]

* Trent Green injury

* O-line banged up & Roafless

* lingering questions about Herm Edwards' effect on the offense

* PIT, SEA, SD, SD, DEN, MIA JAX, BAL still on KC's schedule

Kennison is the guy who quietly puts up nice WR3 numbers each year. I'm starting to question whether he'll be worth a roster spot this year, though.

With guys like Colston, Cotchery, Berrian, Furrey, etc. still available in some leagues, maybe Kennison should be cut loose.

Thoughts?

I dropped him like a hot potato.

 

[zenzephyros]

Wouldn't drop him until you find out more about Green's health. Green loves throwing to Kennison.

[Aaronl5]

I dropped him when Green went down...He is still on the wire and all the others you mentioned have been picked up.

 

[delusional]

Drafted him very late.

Dropped him very fast.

I think by the time he contributes, it will be for a lost cause

 

[AB in DC]

He is still on the wire and all the others you mentioned have been picked up.

I'm amazed at this kind of overreaction. Granted, he was way overvalued at WR19 (Dodds) or even WR28 (ADP). But now people think he's, what, WR50? I don't get it.

I think it has a lot to do with bench sizes. You've got some league where there's 35-40ish WRs rostered, so after a bad couple of weeks I can see waiving him.There's also the thought that he won't be picked up so you can just add him again in another couple of weeks, especially with the bye this week.

 

[Sinrman]

Over? No. But his value took a huge hit when Green went down...

 

[wraith5]

Um... wasn't Green passing in Week 1? 'cause Kennison had a whopping 4 targets. So far he has the 5th most on the team. Welcome to the Waiver Wire, Pal.

And you think forty minutes (w/Green) in week one is enough to draw conclusions for the rest of the year?

 

[gman8343]

Kennison has been dropped in two of my money leagues. Seems a bit premature -- I was under the impression that Green would be back by week 5 or so. Haven't seen anything definitive about Green's return. Are people overreacting on this or will Green probably miss a bigger chunk of the season?

That's why I dropped him. I had to decide on keeping him or taking a shot with Crotchery and Braylon Edwards. If either of these guys tanks Kennison will still be on the wire by the time Green comes back.

I agree totally...

He was just dropped in one of my leagues, I grabbed him (pretty much a no-brainer), but what's the consensus here?

 

[lod2005]

Kennison was Herminated. Didn't you hear?

I really haven't heard a timetable for Green's return. I mean, if Green is out for an extended amount of time, he is fairly useless, IMO. If we knew Green was going to be back in 2 weeks, I think it's nuts to let Kennison sit on the WW.Does Green's age become a factor at some point? If he has had multiple comncussions, and at his age I would guess that is possible, it may take longer than it might a young guy. Just thinking out loud here.

 

[Rogi]

Even when Green does return, does anybody think Kennison's upside will be as high as some the "hot" young receivers (G. Jennings, M. Colston, J. Cotchery, etc)? Green sounds like he'll be out at least two more weeks.

 

[AB in DC]

Yes, only because he's still the #1 in KC (depending on how much Gonzo will be helping with blocking), and the young guys are almost certainly #2s.

 

[Harry Beanbag]

I dumped him for Josh Reed. I play in a ten team, PPR league and Kennison just wasn't getting it done. I will keep an eye on him and possibly pick him back up if he starts to produce but until then,

 

[monkeysee]

Shame on all of you for dropping him for Suzy RottenCrotchery. He will be putting up solid WR3 numbers as soon as next week.

Everyone acts as if KC is suddenly a bottom feeder...KC hasnt been a bottom feeder since 1988. They always find a way to go at least 7-9 and keep it interesting.

KC may not be a bottom feeder, but Eddie certainly has been. KC can go undefeated the rest of the way. It doesn't mean anything to me if Kennison is only getting 15 yards a game.

You're saying the #1 WR on KC will only average 15 yhds a game the rest of the season?He's been consistantly decent as a #3 WR for the last several years - if Green comes back healthy why would he fall off the face of the earth?

Everyone is so quick to judge. Give the guy more than 2 weeks to score some points. I personally think Eddie will have a nice game this week vs. San Fran. NFL coaches/players make adjustments. They're coming off the bye week, so, they've had plenty of time to work on their offensive problems. 95 yards and a TD this week vs. San Fran.

23, 22, 28Those were his year end WR rankings in my league over the past three years. And that's a PPR league, and Kennison doesn't catch a ton of passes. How is ranking in the top 30 every year considered "bottom feeder"? That being said, I don't think he ends up doing that well this year. I'd still keep him on my roster in a 12-teamer start 3...but I think his numbers will be down from past years, even if Green started in week 6 (that's the best case scenario I think).

 

[BassNBrew]

My local league has 20 players rosters and Kennison was cut last week. I bid on him and was the only owner to do so (actually severely overpaid). I'm sure we're 80+ WRs deep in this league and none of the KC WRs were rostered. That's mind boggling. I cut Booker for him. He may not start for quite some time, but I think he'll be key down the stretch.

 

[Sopranos]

I just have a feeling the KC O blows up this week..LJ Gonzo and Kennison all score

 

[monkeysee]

Suckers dropping Kennison this early. Deserve what they get.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Kennison 4-65 and a touch at halftime.

"OUCH"

 

[flapgreen]

I don't own him and wouldn't want to. He's having a good game today though.ETA: And this is only because I'm playing against the bum today.

2 for 3 so far, and I wouldn't rule out a Gonzalez touchdown (even though it will be an even heavier dose of Larry Johnson in the second half).

 

[3C's]

I grew impatient and dropped him after another guy grew impatient and dropped Santana Moss. Maybe I should have dropped Derrick Mason or Troy Williamson instead, but I'll take my chances. Looks like a bad move this week anyway.

86 yards and a TD...nice day.

I drafted Kennison to be a solid WR3, but after Trent Green's week 1 injury, he's been relegated to a benchwarmer and bye week filler. Now that Green's back and Gonzalez is injured, does anybody think Kennison's numbers will improve? I think Green might be limited this week and KC will give OAK a healthy dose of L.J. Otherwise, as far as the passing game goes, Green might rely on Kennison as his go to guy. The main factor limiting my theory is KC will be facing some respectable defenses for the rest of the season.

Even with a 100% healthy Green I'm not expecting Eddie to put up numbers like last year because this offense is different. But, I do expect him to be better with Green and even more so with Gonzalez out. You already alluded to the fact his schedule stiffens and while this would normally be a good time to capitilize on no Gonzalez he's got two bad mathcups in a row covering the games Gonzalez might be out. I'm thinking they will run on the Raiders all day and protect the lead and if Gonzalez is a no go against the Broncos that will probably mean Eddie will draw Champ.
