Thoughts on Roscoe Parrish (1 Viewer)

Parrish was on pace for 75 catches, 896 yards receiving, and 5 TD's last season before suffering a broken wrist during Week 9.

Playing in the slot in Buffalo's spread formation he looked promising last season as someone finally playing in a system that is conducive to his strengths.

As far as I can tell the offense in Buffalo this season will mirror that of last season and Parrish is completely healthy and back in the slot for 2011.

He is being given no love from any of the fantasy outlets and I see no reason why he can't perform at the same level as he did in 2010, if not improve upon that level. Gailey had nothing but glowing things to say about Parrish during training camp in 2010 and predicted that he'd be a big part of the offense last season. He followed through on that promise up until the wrist injury. It wasn't your typical coach-speak.

Parrish is someone who I think could pay dividends for those of us who are in PPR leagues as he should be able to rack up the receptions and have a pretty decent yardage total as well. Temper the expectations on the TD's as I seriously doubt he'll be much of a target in the red zone, but he does enough else to at least be worthy of an occasional start at the very least.

The problem for Parrish is that the WR position could actually be extremely deep in Buffalo. I think he could have some nice games, but expect the ball to be distributed to a ton of guys in Buffalo.

Steve Johnson? Thoughts?

my thoughts as well, who knows how this is all gonna play out. David Nelson and Marcus Easley have both also been pimped this off season. Brad Smith was signed to do something...just read this the other day:

Coach Chan Gailey on second-year WR Naaman Roosevelt, who catches every ball thrown his way: "God didn't give him a lot of speed, God didn't give him a lot of size, but I'm telling you, he makes the most of what he's got. He is really a very good young player."

Sure if I wanted to track down some hype on Donald Jones, I could too. They are super deep much like Bears and Raiders...

Which WR's are in Buffalo this season that weren't there last season?It looks to me like he'll have all the same opportunities this season that he did in 2010. I understand that the ball will be spread around but this is a team that will pass a lot in 2011.
