Most of these guys are who I would potentially consider a WR4/5 type player in a 12-team league. Maybe a spot starter or replacement player, temporary or otherwise, for those owners that have lost players to injury (see Colston, Reg. Brown, Burleson, any other Seahawks receiver, etc.). And as far as upside, in this group there is 1 player tied for 6th in total targets among receivers, 2 in the top 20 in yardage, and 6 in the top 36 in FPs among WRs (I chose 36 since that's roughly the equivalent to the WR3 level or better in 12 team leagues.) That seems like some potential upside to me. Obviously we're dealing with a small sample size after only two games, but we're trying to identify potential waiver pick ups that could help your team in some way, however small that may be, but that might make the difference between your team getting to the playoffs or not.
Not a bad suggestion. My only worry with him is that it would take him a little bit to get up to speed on the offense again and by that time, they may have Branch and Engram back, since they're targeting week 5 after the bye for their return.
Yeah..the moment Engram or Branch returns...his stock is gone.
That's what I was thinking of, too -- these guys are for building depth, or for emergency spot-starting, not for plugging in as a WR1.Stuckey to me is very interesting, despite the presence of Cotchery and Coles. Mangini lauded Stuckey's work ethic over the off-season, commenting on how a season out injured is often wasted time for a player, but that Stuckey was doing a lot of extra filmwork and playbook study to make sure he wasn't at a mental "rookie" level when he reported to camp this year. And yeah, with a tiny sample size of 7 targets, Stuckey has 6 receptions and two TDs.Still in all, you really have to think of Stuckey more as a guy to stash away for the future more than a guy that can help your redraft team in a significant way every week. With a wince on my face, I'd recommend Isaac Bruce to a redraft owner who needs a "right now" replacement starter (like I had to do with Marques Colston out). SF is going to air it out a ton, and there will be enough yardage stats to go around (if not many TDs).James Jones is very good in Green Bay, but after Driver and Jennings, the opporunities are limited. And now they're getting Jordy Nelson involved.
I'm not sure how much is just the excitable Brett Favre but in an interview at Jets site he really seems to like Stuckey.Interview text here http://nyj.scout.com/2/790672.htmlPatrickT said:
Not sure if I'm the only one who realizes this, but Engram & Branch suck. Branch has been an average WR3 at his best throughout his career. He's never hit 1,000 yards, & 5TDs is his career high. He's never played a full season, & is now being rushed back from a torn ACL just 9 months ago.Last year was Engram's only season of fantasy relevance in his 12 year career, and that was only because Branch was out a lot. Engram was still a WR3, and now is 35 years old & coming off a major injury. He may have PPR value, but he won't be startable otherwise.In the past few years, it's been Hackett, Burleson, & Jurevicius who were the TD threats. I think K-rob could be next to fill that role. K-Rob could be a solid pickup.g5jamz said:
