Who's the #1 Fantasy WR this year? (1 Viewer)

[puckalicious]

+1

BOLDIN.

Dude is playing out of his mind.

 

[wudaben]

Yep, Boldin... No question. Having missed two games plus getting a TD taken away when he got jacked up and he is still the top scoring WR!

 

[baconisgood]

Since no one else wants to say it, I will.

Reggie Wayne. He could easily take #1 going forward (though hes 22 pts behind Boldin under my league's scoring so he will have a tough time catching him) but he has a cupcake schedule coming up

Hou

@SD

@Cle

Cin

Det

@Jac

Does it get any better than that? Boldin has at least 2 tough games coming up v the Giants and @ Philly along with Minn.

 

[thatguy]

Not only is Boldin the top FF WR right now, but IMO he is the best WR in the NFL. It will be interesting to see if the Cardinals redo his contract this off-season. He certainly deserves it.

 

[Wu-banger]

My Top 5 to end the year....

Boldin

Wayne

Marshall

Andre Johnson

Roddy White

 

[thehornet]

i love Boldin so dont get me wrong. But it will be funny next year when this guy goes back to his usual 90 catch 1100 yard 7 td season. I think it is hysterical all of you people saying Boldin is the best WR in the league!! When every other year you wouldnt even mention him in that context. I guess it's all about the present.

Well, the thread title does read "Who's the #1 Fantasy WR this year.

true, i just find it amusing. Boldin is the man, but c'mon! He is having a great year, but let's not get carried away.

I think it's all about the QB who is throwing to him....clearly he likes Boldin a bit better, especially in the red zone! Leinart clearly favors Fitz. Also... it's not much of a stretch considering in 2003 & 2005 Boldin was top 5 then as well. Any discussion like this is going to be subjective but given the perfect situation and the familiarity between QB and receiver I'm not sure there are many I'd rather have than Boldin. The most complete receivers in the league currently IMO are Wayne, Boldin & A. Johnson.

I've considered Boldin elite for as long as I've been watching him, so no, it's not all about the present. He's always had an elite skillset, and he's always put up elite numbers. He is among the all-time leaders so far in receptions/game and yards/game over a career. I think you're the one who is off if you think he's been merely above average prior to 2008.

 

[Rhino308]

A. Johnson

A. Boldin

B. Marshall

 

[JuniorNB]

If you took the heart, strength, desire, and playmaking ability of Steve Smith and added about four inches of height and 30 lbs. of muscle, you'd have the league's best receiever........Anquan Boldin.

 

[MCguidance]

If Dellehomme has any more games like he did Sunday then you can take Steve Smith off this list.I think total points it will be between Fitz and A.Johnson although I think losing Schaub for a while will hurt Johnson.Hard to believe that the all of the following may miss the top 10: R.Moss, TO, Harrison, Edwards, Ocho Cinco, Houshmanzadeh, Holt, Driver, Burress, Colston, Ward.

Out of that group I think TO and Colston will be borderline top ten the rest of the year.

There isn't a clear cut #1 receiver this year, if fact there rarely is a clear cut #1 receiver. Last year Randy Moss put up 20% more numbers than the #2 receiver; the last time that happened was n 2003 when Moss and Torry Holt were both 20% better than the #3 receiver.

This year, like most years (and every year between 2003-2007), there will be about 10 receivers that will be within a couple points per game of each other. Trying to predict who that #1 guy will be is impossible because they're all pretty close and one big game at the end of the year will give the guy the WR title. Your GUESS is as good as mine.

In my league, Boldin is averaging just over 17 ppg (non-ppr) in the games he's played while Roddy White, the number 2, is averaging 12.89. That's more than a 35% spread. Clearly, Boldin's numbers may come back down to earth, but considering the offense he is in and their schedule, barring injury (to him or Warner) Boldin is a good bet to finish as #1 by a clear margin. Missing two games and still posting the highest points (in my league, at least) is an impressive accomplishment 10 weeks into the season.

"In the games he's played" Since when did we start taking out the games players miss because of injury when calculating their average? Suspensions are one thing (we knew Marshall and Smith were out and their adp dropped accordingly), but missed games due to injury are always factored in with an average.In my PPR about 30 points currently separates 1-10... in other words about 3 points per game. One big week from any WR ranked 5-15 would put them right in the top 5. One off game by a guy in the top 5 puts them right down to 5-10 (which actually happened to Steve Smith this week).

Argue what you want but I'm taking the guy who is averaging 17ppg vs. the guy who is averaging 12.89. At the end of the year if the points per game are even close I'll give you some credit but until then you don't have an argument. If that illegal hit didn't happen odds are he'd have even more points because he'd have probably caught that touchdown as well!

So Reggie Bush is the best running back this year since "in the games he's played" he averaged like 25 per game? Was Ronnie Brown the best back last year too? Boldin misses a couple games every year due to injury (most of the NFL does)... you don't start looking at "games he's played" to inflate his numbers over guys that are just as likely to miss a couple games due to injury.

The guy has how many touchdowns in the last 3 games?! NFL defenses will adjust.

Maybe. But he's been doing it for longer than 3 games. He has 19 TD's over his last 19 games. That's legit production.

Easier said than done with Fitzgerald on the other side. You can't double-team everybody.

Reggie Bush played in 7 games so far and is averging 13.1 pts per game over that period which is right about 13th in my league based on a ppg average....right about where he should be. He also has a knee injury, and last I checked the knees are pretty important for a running back. Ronnie brown also only played in a couple games all year with (once again) a knee injury. Boldin missed just two games with a fractured sinus... an injury that was only supposed to sideline him for a week or two and even after missing two games he is still the best at this point...seems pretty cut and dry to me....

I fail to see why discounting the games missed is a problem here. When trying to predict who will finish as #1WR the most telling trend line surely is how he has performed when on the field up to this point of the season. Sure, missing games is going to result in lower year-end numbers but the mere fact that he already has those two misses in the bank and yet is still leading the league in fantasy production bolsters the argument that he will finish #1 (unless you anticipate further injuries). The fact remains that he is scoring more points than any other receiver out there on a per-game basis. If this were year-end and his spread were just a handful of points, sure, I'd agree--he would not have separated himself from the pack. But my point is that his current rate of production (again, focusing only on games he's played) suggests that he has a good chance of being clearly better than the #2WR by year end. YMMV, and that's cool.

 

[thehornet]

i love Boldin so dont get me wrong. But it will be funny next year when this guy goes back to his usual 90 catch 1100 yard 7 td season. I think it is hysterical all of you people saying Boldin is the best WR in the league!! When every other year you wouldnt even mention him in that context. I guess it's all about the present.

I've considered Boldin elite for as long as I've been watching him, so no, it's not all about the present. He's always had an elite skillset, and he's always put up elite numbers. He is among the all-time leaders so far in receptions/game and yards/game over a career. I think you're the one who is off if you think he's been merely above average prior to 2008.

whoa, i never said merely average. He's been well above average before 08. I just mean that this year is not what people should expect every year.

 

[daveandken]

Well the fact that Andre Johnson leads all recievers in FF points kinda leaves me to believe that HE is

So because he's tops at Week 10...he'll be after week 16?Btw...im my league (TD heavy) he's 6th so I don't think he's such a no brainer.

ummm....ya...he is tops at week 10 in most standard scoring leagues(td heavy leagues excluded)...talk to me AFTER week 16...who knows by then...but RIGHT NOW hes tops...the numbers dont lie...sorry if you dont like that answer

Sorry if you don't like people who disagree with you, but he's not in the top 5 in several of my leagues either. So no, he's not tops for me. Thanks for being closed minded and believing that you are in the only league in existence though.

He's been one of the best in the league since his rookie year, and it didn't take the monster year he's having for a lot of us to realize this, as you seem to think.

 

[Eminence]

Let's see Boldin's numbers when Fitz is out:

22/267/1

(Four Games)

With an AVG of:

6/67/.25

Far too low for this apparent "BEAST" everyone is talking about.

Now let's see Fitz' numbers when Boldin is out:

47/611/6

(Seven Games)

With an AVG of:

7/87/.85

Who's making who?

Fitz was out for Boldin's entire rookie year, pal. 16 games is a bigger sample size than 4 games... ergo, you're reaching.

This is a dumb debate, partly because you don't read well and mostly because you have a monster-truck sized man-crush on Anquan Boldin. Like I said before, I have always thought Boldin was a top WR and i too like him a lot, but people should not expect these numbers to continue next year or even for the rest of this year because it won't happen. His career averages do not support it. He has been in the league 7 years and never had double digit Touchdowns. This is because he hasn't historically been the main red-zone threat. Larry Fitzgerald has been that person. Go ahead and be my guest by taking him in the 2nd round next year. You will be disappointed if you expect anything outside of 85-90 Receptions, 7-8 Touchdowns, 1100-1200 yards.

Personal attacks... Nice! I think I read this part of your post perfectly: "I think it is hysterical all of you people saying Boldin is the best WR in the league!! When every other year you wouldnt even mention him in that context." And that's the only part I'm debating. You're dead wrong. Sorry, it is what it is.I will add that your neat little projections are off base as well, though - if you did any research, you'd see that the numbers you project don't even come close to meshing with his career per game averages. But I didn't really feel like debating that part of your post.

I don't think anybody is claiming this. The thread IS titled "Who's the #1 Fantasy WR this year". And THIS year, Boldin is clearly outperforming everyone else on a PPG basis, and he has the most points (in standard leagues) even while missing 2 games.I'm not claiming there's no room for the "who's #1" question to have a different answer at the end of the season, but right now it's clearly Boldin.

Like I said before, I have always thought Boldin was a top WR and i too like him a lot, but people should not expect these numbers to continue next year or even for the rest of this year because it won't happen. His career averages do not support it. He has been in the league 7 years and never had double digit Touchdowns. This is because he hasn't historically been the main red-zone threat. Larry Fitzgerald has been that person. Go ahead and be my guest by taking him in the 2nd round next year. You will be disappointed if you expect anything outside of 85-90 Receptions, 7-8 Touchdowns, 1100-1200 yards.

Personal attacks... Nice! I think I read this part of your post perfectly: "I think it is hysterical all of you people saying Boldin is the best WR in the league!! When every other year you wouldnt even mention him in that context." And that's the only part I'm debating. You're dead wrong. Sorry, it is what it is.I will add that your neat little projections are off base as well, though - if you did any research, you'd see that the numbers you project don't even come close to meshing with his career per game averages. But I didn't really feel like debating that part of your post.

Um no they are not. His averages over his first 5 years is 83 receptions, 1100 yards, 6 TD's. Ya, i am right thanks. I was actually giving him better than his average stats over the first 5 seasons. I wasn' talking about per game averages. i was talking about what you'll get out of him in a season. You should do some research.Look, i'll just stop because you obviously cannot control yourself when talking about your favorite player. Ill let it go.

i love Boldin so dont get me wrong. But it will be funny next year when this guy goes back to his usual 90 catch 1100 yard 7 td season. I think it is hysterical all of you people saying Boldin is the best WR in the league!! When every other year you wouldnt even mention him in that context. I guess it's all about the present.

I've considered Boldin elite for as long as I've been watching him, so no, it's not all about the present. He's always had an elite skillset, and he's always put up elite numbers. He is among the all-time leaders so far in receptions/game and yards/game over a career. I think you're the one who is off if you think he's been merely above average prior to 2008.

whoa, i never said merely average. He's been well above average before 08. I just mean that this year is not what people should expect every year.

I don't think anybody is claiming this. The thread IS titled "Who's the #1 Fantasy WR this year". And THIS year, Boldin is clearly outperforming everyone else on a PPG basis, and he has the most points (in standard leagues) even while missing 2 games.I'm not claiming there's no room for the "who's #1" question to have a different answer at the end of the season, but right now it's clearly Boldin.

fair enough, i agree with that.

Well, you're still off base in my opinion if you think that in any other year Boldin would not warrant mention among the league's best WR's. He's been one of the best in the league since his rookie year, and it didn't take the monster year he's having for a lot of us to realize this, as you seem to think.

So I guess you're in the business of predicting injuries... Because most people I know do projections assuming that a player will play a full 16 games. And I hope you realize that if you're taking into account his first five years, you're including his sophomore season, one in which he was injured for 6 games, and not really right for the other 10. I mean, it hardly seems fair to say that what he's done this season should be thrown out the window, but what he did that season is somehow meaningful.Feel free to think I'm blinded by the fact that I really like Boldin as a football player, and therefore somehow off my rocker. I'll admit I do like Boldin, he's been one of my favorite players since he entered the league. None of this changes the fact that you're way off and kind of an idiot. There. Now we're even on the personal attacks. I'll let it go, too.

guy, i never predicted anything. I just gave his averages for his first 5 years in the league. That's it. You can read into it as much as you want. Yu are blinded by your love for Boldin and that is ok. Just admit it. I like him too.

 

[jurb26]

Boldin hands down.

 

[travdogg]

Since no one else wants to say it, I will. Reggie Wayne. He could easily take #1 going forward (though hes 22 pts behind Boldin under my league's scoring so he will have a tough time catching him) but he has a cupcake schedule coming upHou@SD@CleCinDet @JacDoes it get any better than that? Boldin has at least 2 tough games coming up v the Giants and @ Philly along with Minn.

I'm surprised there aren't more people picking Wayne. I'd rank my top-5:1. Wayne2. Marshall3. Boldin4. Fitzgerald5. WhiteHonorable Mention: Smith and the Johnsons.

Dude gets better each week.Someone needs to change the thread title to 'second best receiver'. I believe the debate for best is over.

I think both the number one and two FF WRs may be on the same team.
