Which young WR... not yet established as a week-in week-out starter in your FF lineup - but that are usually in the same ranking tiering... would you want on your dynasty team?

Obviously, we are talking about potential here... not some you would rely on right now - but that you think as the best chance to become your FF WR1 in the long run...

I have evidently excluded the uper tiering young dynasty guys like Larry Fitzgerald, Roy Williams, Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson, Lee Evans, Marques Colston, Braylon Edwards, Mark Clayton... for the sake of the argument...

 
This ones a little difficult. I voted Meacham because of the possibilities and oppurtunities that are there in NO. I've targeted him with the 1.7 rookie pick.

I have G. Jennings on my roster and I believe he's going to excel. I just recently traded Marshall (whom I have very high hopes for) for Turner.

 
My vote on these guys would be totally based on the QBs they are playing with. Trades obviously will skew that, but barring all other factors, I would go with the person that Phillip Rivers is throwing too. Especially since SD does not have a true go to WR1.

 
Just based on talent and opportunity, I voted for Vincent Jackson. I think he is in the best situation for long term success.

 
I'd be looking to trade all of them, but I chose Meachem because there wasn't a They're all going to stink option.

 
Holmes for sure... Ward is going into his 10th season, Pitt is going to be looking for Holmes to become #1 pretty soon.

 
I'd have to give the early vote to Holmes but I think Sidney Rice will be the best WR out of this group. The kid is only 20 and had he stayed for another year he would of likely been a consenus top 15 overall pick. Yes, his QB situation is a mess but Tavaris could suprise and be elusive enough to throw the deep ball ala Culpepper to Moss. With Peterson and Chester Taylor in the backfield and an agile shifty QB, the Minny WR's could greatly prosper. It might take him 1-2 years to establish himself but overall he has to be the most talented.

 
Serious question for those who voted for Meach - how do you pick someone as your WR1 when they're not even the #1 on their own team (i.e. Colston)? Plus the versatility of Bush?

You could say the same thing about Jackson as well. Gates will always be #1, LT will be #2 for a few years.
 
As far as the WR1 of your own team and that being a knock against Meachem, people said the same thing a couple of years ago about Larry Fitzgerald and Boldin, and before that of Wayne, and before that of Torry Holt. First, just because someone is the primary WR on their team today doesn't mean that will continue; second, as much as I like Colston it isn't like he has proven himself consistently over a three year period; third, on passing teams like IND or STL or now NO, being WR2 is often better than being a WR1 elsewhere.

 
If you're strictly talking upside then I like Rice and Meachem.

But Holmes is the most valuable player on that list. I wouldn't trade him for any of those guys.

 
This poll is FLAWED.

Without Anthony Gonzolas as an option. He will be groomed to replace Harrison and will end up as the #1 in Indy in the long run. Voted Meachem of the players listed.

Agreed. All the other options have "other" better options or they have proven nothing at the NFL level to be considered a good option. Gennings - how good is he?/Favre situation, Meachum will be behind Colston for the forseeable future, Bowe - too early to know how good he might be, Marshall will have Walker to contend with, Jackson has LT/Gates to contend with, Rice - who knows, Jones - injury problems. Holmes finished the year very nicely, has good speed and great hands and Ward is entering the twilight of his career. This is an easy one to me.

 
Now I know I might get head head chewed off by saying this but I'm throwing it out there. I know Colston is a special talent, but I think Meachem is better. I honestly feel that Meachem will overtake Colston as Brees favorite target. Meachem will becom 1a, Colston will be 1b and Bush will be 3a, Johnson will be 3b. I know that's alot of balls to be spreading out, but Brees will push 4000 year in and year out.

Oh, and I voted Meachem

 
This was a good question... I went with Jennings... I'm worried about the QB sitiuation in GB, but who knows for sure... if Favre makes it 2 more years, then we can address it after that...

I think NO has enough young talent that I'm not sure if Meacham can stand out...

KC has just done so poorly at draft WR's that I wouldn't pick Bowe to be my first choice.

Brandon Marshal is interesting, but the run is so important in Denver and Javon probally has 5 years as a #1 there if healthy...

Can't get excited about a WR in SD

Does Min have a QB???

Pitt is another heavy run team... if Holmes was Hines Ward I'd like him, but he's not...

Brandon Jones could be the dark horse... he's got the least votes, but he's growing with his QB.... he could surprise, but hard to make him my top choice...

Jennings has showed flashes, and was looking great before the injury... a WR in GB always steps up... why not Jennings

 
Jennings and Holmes are about equal IMO.

Then Rice, then Marshall. Rice has the potential to be a top 10 WR, although I doubt he reaches his ceiling.

:loco: you don't have to agree with this, just realize that it is possible. colston might catch michael clayton itis. or, bush may never learn, or be able to break an arm tackle. meachem has as much chance as anyone to put up WR1 numbers.

agree with Jennings and Holmes with Jennings as a slight favorite. GB has a few tough years ahead so another good WR and a ton of catch up/throwing often games will help pad his stats. Pitt is arguably on a slow decline but tough enough still to win/maintain leads and still have a run 1st mentality. Of the rest Id say Meachum>the rest with the bottom looking something like Marshall/Bowe-KC is going to be a mediocrestat haven for WR's in general..Plus Gonzo/Kennison/LJ will eat up much of what little completions are made. Marshall is DEN WR2..Still waiting for anything remotely resembling a fantasy WR3 to evolve there..let alone WR2 or WR1..I have a feeling based on situation Meachum may sway my vote to him eventually :banned:
 
I went with Jennings though his future QB situation worries me. I also like Bowe. Good young QB and he has talent of his own. Of course Herm Edwards scares me. I am not so high on Santonio Holmes for some reason. Roethlisberger doesn't strike me as a 300-yard, 3-TD type of QB.

 
Looks like the answer is whichever one costs the least. I can't see anything right now that makes one of them clearly standout in relation to the others.

 
I have both Jennings and Marshall on my dynasty roster but like every player listed theres roadblocks and an awful lot of question marks with every player listed. I don't think we have enough really good data to make any informed assessment of any of these kids as yet, but I'm happy with the 2 that I managed to aquire last season ... only time will tell; btw I voted Jennings.

:wall:

 
The Holmes picks really surprise me. Guess I'm not high on him at all... (WHich makes me wonder why he was chosen by several of you.) I would say Jennings or Rice.

 
Demetrius Williams, WR, Ravens

Should supplant Derrick Mason as a starter next year and has the size (6'2) and the speed (4.45) to be a WR1. He just needs to add some bulk to his 191 lb frame.

Here is why I chose him...49 rec 824 yds with 2 TD's as a rook. 16 rec 324 yds in his final 4 games. It appeared over the course of the year Big Ben started looking for him and he started to figure things out a bit. The QB situation in Pitt is pretty secure. Not to mention that he is the only real home run threat in Pitt (other than FWP). They just started extension talk with Ben. who know's the Farve will do from year to year.

One other thing to add... The Steelers are almost certain to open things up a bit this year. I know we've heard it before with Cowher as the coach, but now that Cowher is gone and Arians is the OC, you can expect to see more 4 WR sets and the no-huddle offense to be used much more often. Ben has look very good running it and he ran it a lot in college, and there was a recent article in the Post Gazette about how they'll be revamping the offense to include a lot more of what Ben likes to do and what he's good at. The article is posted in the Steelers Offseason thread.Holmes has a ton of talent, and it won't be shocking if he comes up with a 65-70 catch, 1,000+ yard season.
 
What I don't like about Holmes: on a run-first team, Big Ben regressed last year, his past history of 'attitude' problems, his size, his use as a return-man, he doesn't seem like a #1 WR, skill set is still questionable though some upside exists. :unsure:

Ben did regress some last year, but I would really attribute that to the motorcycle injury. with that behind him he will be able to focus on getting better and learning this new offense. Then almost had to be a run first team even more than before last year because of their QB play. I agree with Steelers4Life that they will open things up a bit and use the team speed they have with Homes, FWP and Ward. Hines will not be beating alot of people deep, so this chore belongs to Holmes. I really expect a very good year from him. and as a Browns fan, I am not looking forward to it. but then again, that's just my $0.02
 
It's not really fair to compare rookies and guys that have showcased some of their ability at the NFL level when talking about "long-term."

My pick amongst the rookies is Rice and my pick amongst the non-rookies is Jennings.

Gee. Sounds like he is decribing Steve Smith in 2002.

I think I agree with HK. Not exactly sure...I'm assuming "EEEEeeeeee!!!!!" means "none of the above". I wouldn't want to count on any of these guys becoming my #1, long or short term. Not that there aren't good prospects on this list...I just don't see any one of them standing out in a way that screams "elite".
