This is what you can expect from VJAX. He'll blow up for 3 games and toss in some 3/35 games as well. Would love to sell high right about now. But I'm not going to be offering either.

I can expect him to be the #8 overall WR and put up 20+ points in four out of every six games? Where do I sign up?

I remember somebody chuckling at the guy who sold off Jimmy Graham for VJAX in the Jimmy Graham injury update thread.
Look who's laughing now.

Most elite WRs will toss in a 3/35 game now and then.Also, most owners have VJax as their #2 or even #3WR. VJax is scary as a #2 or #3 WR. You don't mind a 3/35 game from a WR2 or WR3 on occasion, if they can blow up and win you a game. Last year, people were disappointed because they drafted Jackson as their #1 WR, and his targets were inconsistent in SD because Rivers is good at spreading the ball around. But while I don't trust Freeman and the matchup yesterday was great, Jackson is getting the targets in TB.That said, this is the time to package VJax and another player and attempt to get an elite player in return.

In SD, it was the opposite: he'd blow up for a game and then put up several duds, but I guess this is what happens when you have a coaching staff who knows how to use you. Just like Sproles, he was productive in SD, but the fact that he went somewhere else and immediately became much more productive because they actually used him is another indictment of Norv Turner and his staff.

Longest in 40 years. Ahmad Rashad had a 96 yard play in '72 that didn't score

I love the VJax is having the last laugh here. Or at least the next to last laugh. I suppose it's still possible that Jackson could crash his car in an alcoholic stupor and AJ Smith would come out looking OK.

Apparently while named Bobby Orr. Had no idea he changed his name.

Watching this again he looked downright slow on this one! How do you not score there?

Yeah, just what I was thinking.... Sell high in dynasty?Watching this again he looked downright slow on this one! How do you not score there?
I would like to add myself to the list of people shocked by how slow he looked. Was I surprised to see Dwyer get caught from behind last night? No. Was I surprised to see VJax, who has made a living off of being a deep threat, get caught by a guy despite a 15 yard head start? Definitely.Yeah, just what I was thinking....

Jackson at 22 was fast for his size, but not DB fast. At 29 I don't think it's surprising that he'd be run down. Not sure why you'd sell though. He's a talented guy in a stable situation with a QB whose floor is NFL average, and 3-4 years of WR1 (or even WR1/2) production is probably more than you'll be able to get in return.

At this point, it should be clear that VJax is a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 going forward barring injury. With nearly half the season in the books I don't see why anything other than injury to him or Freeman that would change that.

Low end WR 1? Have you seen his production? Unlike in SD, he's clearly being featured in TB.
packersfan
Footballguy
He ranks 9th in PPR in average points per game. I'd consider that low-end WR1 territory. Nothing wrong with that obviously - especially considering his ADP. So chances are you're getting WR1 production from someone drafted to be your WR3 or maybe even WR4.
Beerguzzler
Footballguy
PPR isn't a standard scoring system, yea he's a bit less valuable in those. In all other leagues he's third in scoring and already had his bye. I would be trading for him, not trading him away.
I must also wonder how the #9 WR is "low end" in any league?

He's a #1 WR in non-ppr, no question. Congrats to those who paired him with a stud like AJ or Cruz.

I think we're having a semantics issue. So let's disregard that and say VJax is having a great year and his fantasy owners have to be thrilled with his production thus far. Sound good?
packersfan
Footballguy
What about those who paired him in PPR with Julio Jones and Percy Harvin and have Lance Moore and Denarius Moore and can start all five each week?

lol sure, he's also the #3 WR in my PPR league (behind Green and Cruz).I think we're having a semantics issue. So let's disregard that and say VJax is having a great year and his fantasy owners have to be thrilled with his production thus far. Sound good?

Starting him obviously, but I have low expectations for this week in Minny. I hate Thursday night games in general.

I don't fear the matchup (Andre Roberts just dropped 100 and a TD against the Vikings) but as I posted in the Freeman thread road teams have typically sucked in the Thursday games. That trend does worry me but if the Bucs' D fails to show up again Freeman may have to keep winging it. The good news is he's always going to take his shots down field so VJax always has a chance to make some big plays.Starting him obviously, but I have low expectations for this week in Minny.

Does that mean the shut down VJax and Williams has a good game? Or was Fitz' quiet game yesterday a result of his QB?I don't fear the matchup (Andre Roberts just dropped 100 and a TD against the Vikings) but as I posted in the Freeman thread road teams have typically sucked in the Thursday games.

Vikings definitely geared up to stop Fitz and I imagine they'll want to do the same against VJax. Huge difference is I don't think Freeman will shy away from targeting VJax. He's throwing it to him a ton. I think that will continue. I also think Freeman, despite being inconsistent, is vastly superior to Skelton in terms of talent.Does that mean the shut down VJax and Williams has a good game?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Freeman has no qualms about throwing it up to VJax in double or triple coverage and trusting him to come down with the ball. I think these last few weeks we've definitely seen a large amount of trust develop between Freeman and VJax. To think I got him on a buy low sell high for Michael Bush after Week 3Vikings definitely geared up to stop Fitz and I imagine they'll want to do the same against VJax.
