Let's not carve his bust just yet BUT, I think you make a great point. I love Brown and wish I wouldn't have fallen for the bias that because he's small compared to the "elite big 6-7" WRs all ranked ahead of him this year--I passed on him in all standard formats and I think he's out scoring them all even in non-ppr. I won't make the same mistake next year and I'll put ODB is that same thought process.
Was just thinking this. He has to be an every week start from here on out, and he has certainly delivered numerous WR1 weeks already.
Interesting. PPR or not, how did 11 teams allow a combination of Manning, Murray, Dez, Nelson to not all get drafted in the first 2 rounds.
How much do we think that performance may flip flop any given game between him and Randle going forward? I think we've seen what we've seen -- Beckham is more dynamic and is making more out of his targets -- but it worries me that it could just as well be Randle any given Sunday.
Randle's been getting the targets, he's just not good. Beckham's stock has been rising week by week both within the team and within the NFL/nationally. I wouldn't worry about Randle.
I spent a good portion of this season shopping Becks and my first for an upgrade no takers. The WR of my dreams was right under my nose the whole time.
Agreed. I'm starting him this week with Antonio Brown and Mike Evans, putting Roddy White and Pierre Garcon on the pine.
same, would love to pretend i knew he would be good but was shopping him for any future 1st earlier in the season. Thankfully nobody else liked him either.montana_grizzly_bears said:
I love both of these guys and would be happy with either of them.Dragon1952 said:
Wow I never saw him go that late. Was your draft late in the preseason after he got hurt or something?
It was an auction. I spent almost every single dollar on those 4. We have very short benches so I felt confident I could hit on some other guys on the waiver wire.
yeah...after sitting him against Seattle I'm thinking you can start him against anybody.....however, Roddy and Garcon do have primo matchups this week.dcgangstas said:
I agree but it could really help Cruz as well. Look at Cruz when Nicks was playing well. Cruz plays best as a slot guy. Slot guys do their best when the defense is focused on stopping a bigger down field threat.
ya but I just see Beckham being that guy that runs great routes, with speed and great hands that can be the target monster of the offense. Get 10 targets/game but also has that ability to take it deep at any point.
ODB wasn't drafted in the three 12-team leagues that I'm in.
I think people WWAAAAYY overstress about the draft and ADP and which rounds guys go in. If you like a player, get him, reach a round early because half of your players aren't going to work out.
Of course.. I agree. ADP was prolly not the best term to use. More just asking was he on the radar.
It's hard to get excited about any rookie WR's in redraft, let alone guys who miss almost all of training camp and he first few weeks of the season. Also, if Cruz stayed healthy, Beckham was only supposed to be used on 3WR sets. I think a lot of people knew that he was extremely talented and is the WR of the future for the Giants, but didn't expect him to be worth much for most, if not all, of his rookie season.Of course.. I agree. ADP was prolly not the best term to use. More just asking was he on the radar.
I own him via WW, and yet am somehow pissed I didn't draft him in the first place. Do your summer homework Buck!
Yeah, we draft mid-August; I think he was hurt by then. Top ten went:
I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time, and in dynasty I'm not sure I can blame them. But still, ouch. Beckham is looking like a very solid pick at 7. And that's putting it mildly. Cruz's injury certainly put his production on fast forward. It's a shame in one sense as I've always been a big fan of Cruz, but this Beckham kid has the goods.
Got Beckham myself at 1.11 in a 16 team dynasty. It is start 2 RB, so that pushes them up a bit. Our draft was mid August, OBJ was dealing with the hamstring strain, and the depth of the WR class seemed to push all of them outside of the top-3 down a bit. Watkins and Evans had the pedigree and hype of dominance, while Cooks had the Brees and Payton hype. OBJ tumbled.

So trade your third receiver and insert OBJ as your new three. Problem solved.montana_grizzly_bears said:
Our draft took place toward the end of pre season when everyone was worried about his injury (so short sighted for dynasty and that's not hindsight as his talent was always obvious) Beckham at 2.1 after nabbing Watkins at 1.1 in a 12 team dynasty. 2 QB leaguess so the top 3 QBS all went round 1. Later was able to get Allen Robinson, Davante Adams, and Crowell. The WR depth and talent this season was unreal so I loaded up there while others were grabbing the underwhelming QBs and RBs. Finally went with Crowell at 5.1 because the talent/potential combo was too great to pass up in round 5.
