WR Dynasty Showdown..Who's da best? (1 Viewer)

- Start date
What he said.I just think Henry can't keep his nose clean -- his off season was a disaster and I can't bank on him being out of jail much less out of trouble and worth keeping around for a franchise if he keeps this up.Talentwise he could be tops for this poll. But I need to see less booze and underage girls before I spend much time on him.

Henry and Hagan probably have the most talent. Cotchery is probably the most valuable right now.
Travis Wilson and Bryant Johnson could eventually be NFL starters.
Hagan probably has the best combination of low cost and high upside. I highly recommend trading for him right now in dynasty leagues while his value is low.

Right now, Welker is a must start in leagues where return yardage counts - this is his second year being a top WR in those leagues.
Considering that Chris Chambers reminds me of Roberto Duran - "hands of stone" - I think the #1 job in Miami is open. Chambers could be great if he could catch, but he's either goign to learn that soon, or be a great #2.

Welker doesn't look talented enough to be a #1 IMO. To me he's a nice complimentary guy with limited upside. If anyone on the roster is going to supplant Chambers it is Hagan.

I think your opinion is wrong. I just posted this in another thread, but NE's halftime adjustment was to double cover Welker a could deal of the time because they could not handle him one on one. Feel free to peruse the Boston Globe for confirmation. Welker is a lot like Mason or Troy Brown. He got little fan fare at first, but earned time with play on special teams. He is a player.

I dont' think this list was meant to be all-inclusive. Plenty of other guys could be on this somewhat random list... Jones, Drew Carter, Vincent Jackson, Hank Baskett, Maurice Stovall, Brad Smith, etc.No Brandon Jones?

If his upside is Troy Brown, then we're in agreement. He's built a career on being a nice complimentary guy. Not someone you want to build a fantasy team around though...

I think so. Give him time though... he just turned 22.

The guy Welker reminds me of is Steve Largent. I don't think he's as talented as Largent, but here's what I see:
He's quick, runs really good routes, and catches the ball. You think he's a possesion guy and then he's using the sneaky speed he doesn't really have a lot of, but he can get so open that you need to close a ways.
In a PPR, he should make a lot of rosters.
I do think it could be Hagan & Welker there. They are different kinds of receivers. I'm really down on Chambers - he's had too many QB's throwing to him at this point for all of them to have issues, especially considering other guys are makign catches.

i would say so(deep league or not)...you have to look at a couple of things...Talent & SituationHagan seems to have the talent...there were some nice reports coming out of camp on himas far as situation goes...booker isnt the long term answer to the #2 WR spot and imo welker is a guy that will be used to create matchup problems in the slot much like Hakim used to be used in STL...Vincent Jackson is another that fits this profile very well

Yes. He was dropped in the other conference of one of my dynasty leagues and no one has picked him up. They should. A guy like that should never hit the wire this early in his career.My general rule with promising rookies is that you can't cut them until they've clearly shown that they can't get the job done in the NFL. Hagan hasn't even been given an opportunity yet, so it's way too early to be giving up on him. I drafted him in the 16th round of my 12 team dynasty league, but I think his actual value is comparable to most of the players who are drafted in the rounds 9-12 range. If he's out there on your waivers, pick him up.

I thought about putting Smith, Stovall, and Baskett on there, but the list was already getting pretty long. Jackson is already gone in my league so I didn't consider him. Also, with Young at the helm, I don't see the Titans receivers as being worth much in the future. Similar to the Falcon Receivers. Also, I feel Drew Carter had his shot this offseason, and first two games. All he proved was that they really really need Steve Smith out there. Carter really dissappointed me.I dont' think this list was meant to be all-inclusive. Plenty of other guys could be on this somewhat random list...

Hagan is nice, but I think he is at least a year away from seeing any significant time. If Welker keeps doing will, I don't think the Phins will have any reason to put Hagan out there. They certainly won't give up on Chambers and Booker is a relatively consistant vet.
I loved Vincent Jackson coming into the season, but now the emergence of Foley getting PT has me concerned.
Cotchery is real good. All though I dont see his upside being that of Jackson, Hagan, Henry, Sinorice Moss, Colsten, Berrian all though this could all be debateable.
Sinorice Moss wasn't mentioned. When he is fully healthy and can get the system down and some practice time in, I think he'll produce.
Jennings is a starter in GB for the long haul.
I think same could be said for Colsten in NO and Cotchery in NY.
I love Baskett too, but am concerned he wont get the PT if Sallworth and Brown are healthy. It's a shame too, he can produce.
Brandon Jones, if he can stay healthy, will become Titans number 1 wideout. For whatever that title is worth. Book it.
When Matt Jones come back, I fully expect to see him retake the Jagz number 1 wideout roll. All though Williams has been outstanding.
Also, I dont think Lelie is done in Atlanta. Im gonna keep an eye on him at least.
Ronald Curry in Oakland. Playing opposite Moss as he should, even in their bad offense, he'll produce. Now if he could only stay on the field.
Just some thoughts on some young WR's.

Funny thing is that Welker grew up just a couple miles from where Largent was raised in Oklahoma City. Neither were recruited much by the local state schools so they went to good offenses elsewhere with Largent in Tulsa and Welker at Texas Tech.

I'm a big fan of Cotchery's. I saw him play a lot at NC State. The guy has great hands. However I voted Henry. Tough to do considering I don't really like the guy and consider him to be a punk thug who isn't smart enough to get out of his own way. However I tend to think that IF Henry could stay off the blotter he could eventually overtake TJ on the depth chart. Housh has a bit of a nagging injury history. I could easily see Henry playing the #2 role while TJ is out and playing so well Housh is relegated to 3. I tend to think Henry is the better athlete and is more talented than Cotchery, however Jerricho is a very safe pick. What's killing me is I could've had Cotchery but was a bit deep with young WR talent on my dynasty roster. I simply couldn't justify waiting out another youngster as the one's I felt I had were better options. Mistake. My final 2 cuts were Cotchery and Bernard Berrian. Meanwhile I held onto Mark Bradley. Ugh.
Largent is one of my all time favorites.Here is the only knock I have with Welker. He is fine as the #3 or playing inside. He creates problems and is a mismatch. However, he can be handled if and when he is pushed outside. I think he has a finite skill set at WR but...He will always have a job because of his ability to return kicks. He'll be on someone's roster making a contribution. Hagan can play.wannabee said:
