WSL2 Rounds 17-20 (1 Viewer)

[Jeff Pasquino]

(McCluster was selected as a RB in WSL4, but) I don't think it matters what the team selecting McCluster thinks he is. It matters what position he is used at on the NFL team that drafts him. As such, anybody drafting McCluster in the WSL & PDSL survivors are taking a calculated risk that he'll be a benefit to their team no matter which position he plays in the NFL. Those drafting him should cover their butts in those positions to compensate for the lack of a definitive position for McCluster...........or not.

Pretty sure this came up when I picked Josh Cribbs for BNB in WSL1. Let me look.

Pretty sure this came up when I picked Josh Cribbs for BNB in WSL1. Let me look.

This should cover it:

If cribbs lines up at QB, RB, and WR does he get all those points in this scoring system?

MFL lists Cribbs as a WR, which is what I use. As I won't change designations once the season starts, it doesn't matter where he lines up, the points will be scored as a WR.

So once MFL gives him a position, that'll be that.

 

[BusMan]

Thanks for pointing to the precedent, Jeff.

 

[Toads]

Slippery slope, Toads.

One from which, eventually, we all must fall.

wow thought he was long gone. or I would have taken him for sure

wow thought he was long gone. or I would have taken him for sure

Clayton was positively underwhelming last year, both from an impact while healthy angle, and an ability to stay healthy angle. By the time the playoffs came around, Flacco was barely looking his way. If anyone emerges in the offseason, Clayton could become a situational player in Baltimore, and last year he had about 3-4 viable fantasy games even though he was a starter. Looks like a player on the decline to me.

not much to decline from, IMO. he's been a bust.

It's Round 19, however - and he's considered to be a starter at this point. At about WR100 he's low risk / high reward as a WR6/WR7 with so few options left.

I still see at least 3 WRs Id rather have than Clayton.

Looking forward to that list.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Looking forward to that list.

Id rather have a WR with at least a shot at a breakout year than a WR that I know will top out at 35-500-2 - as long as you drafted well at WR earlier in the draft, a player like Clayton will have little impact on your roster.

Don't take it the wrong way Bloom - I agree - a WR6/7 has to have big upside to produce a TD or a big game to contribute, else he's worthless. I'm just curious as to your 3-man list.

he seems to have a big game or two a year though which is perfect for a wr7\8 in a format like this imo.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

No shocker here.... Thom's clock expired.

20.02 Torry Holt WR ????

Maybe Chicago, Maybe Carolina???? He said he'd love to go to Chi so, it doesn't sound like someone ready to retire????

Evan Moore, TE Cle

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Had trouble with this pick...apologies.Evan Moore, TE Cle

Great pick, IMHO - very surprised that he lasted this long. I might have passed on TE2 a little earlier had I known he'd be available in Round 19.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Considered QB3 or TE3 (Moore) or even another RB, but I still feel this is a WR-driven league.

That said, I'll take a guy who looks to be poised to be in a battle to start:

Spoiler

Troy Williamson, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars

I still have one other WR on my list - again curious to check my list vs. Bloom (or if TW was one of them).

Good drafting guys - see you in the analysis thread.

you guys really like Williamson over Clayton? I just don't see how he fits into the picture after what Thomas and Dillard showed last year. Not to mention Zach Miller emerging as a real target. I can't see Williamson as anything better than the 4th or 5th option (including MJD) in Jax.

Williamson beat out MSW in camp, they liked him enough to re-sign him, he has deep speed. Im not saying Williamson will outproduce Clayton, just that he could still be on the rise and vastly outproduce expectations, where I think we've seen exactly what Clayton is and will be.

 

[Shadowfax]

Good lord. I didn't expect 7 RBs to go before my next turn.

[Aaron Rudnicki]

20.12 TE Rob Gronkowski

 

[Toads]

20.13, WR-106: This guy caught 40% of his 88 targets for 36 recept's, 426 yards and three TD's. He's one of the few WR's left with a reasonable shot at a weekly score worth a diddle: Bryant Johnson, DET-WR.

PM'd.

Reasonable value for the #106-WR.

Thanks for having me....GOBW shall return.
