jurb26 926 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Brandon LaFell reportedly has the No. 2 wide receiver job "pretty much locked up."The job was LaFell's to lose as soon as the Panthers let Legedu Naanee walk after last season. The third-year LSU product has proceeded to hold off the likes of David Gettis, Louis Murphy and Joe Adams with ease. As an every-down receiver in OC Rob Chudzinski's aggressive system, there's a ton of breakout appeal in LaFell. He posted 613 yards, 17.0 yards per catch and three touchdowns in limited playing time a year ago.Rizzler, you so fly.Really looking forward to seeing what laFell does this year. Been stashing him for 2 years in a dynasty league because I've always loved his ability and potential. I never doubted he would win the WR2 job this off-season. It's time for him to do something with it though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShaHBucks 298 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 If they like Lafell why trade for Murphy? Nfl team never make trades! I think Murphy, Gettis and Pilares will end up Glueing Lafell to the bench. There is like 10 Wr's still on the roster and Smith is old. Longterm it looks as if they want to solve this issue now. Those are the only names I know of the bunch, seems like a real competition going on and I wouldn't pick a sleeper until major roster cuts happen. factor in the guys they keep will have to play teams and it doesn't look good for Lafell Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps Car wants to upgrade their WR3 - WR6 and that is why they are adding guys like Murhpy. Perhaps they are worried about depth because of Smith's age. There are many reasons they could be adding WRs that have little to nothing to do with LaFell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He had one good game vs. Tampa and now he running away with job that 9 people are applying for? I question things like that. Who said it? Why? Are they qualified to say so? Whats their track record on such calls?I don't think he's a better talent than Murphy or Gettis, the young guys we can ignore. And to add a cherry on top I question if Cam Newton can feed 2 WR enough to be fantasy relevant. Greg Olsen is good but he wasn't a every week starter like he could be.

Looks to me like Foster lost his joband then this came outCoach Gary Kubiak announced Monday that Ben Tate will be the Texans' lead back until Arian Foster's hamstring fully heals."He's playing really well," Kubiak said of Tate. "Ben's probably going to carry most of the load right now. ... He's going to be out there a great deal." Kubiak also praised Tate's pass protection for the second straight week. Foster didn't look fully healthy during the first half of Houston's Week 2 win over Miami, and had to shut it down at intermission.So whats your point again?Which games did you watch that you got this incredible scouting report on Lafell?

I've watched LaFell for the past 3 years, started paying attention his final year at LSU. I've always liked his ability a lot. I think he has WR1 potential in the NFL, though not good enough to be a top guy. Not seeing the reason for all the hate.I do share ShaHBucks concern that Newton can't really feed a WR2 well enough to reward fantasy owners though. I guess we'll see. I'm hoping that Car/Newton start focusing more on going through the reads and less running. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He has struggled to separate and catch the ball. When Newton throws for over 4000 yards and you only catch 36 balls thats a pretty telling number. If he cannot get it done this year then I am not sure if he ever will. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what thats about.Open the game thread, we discussed it. Guys honestly what are you hoping for? LaFell started and was on the field the entire time with Newton. he made a bonehead holding call 28 yards downfield that stopped a huge play. He also looked lost on a pass, that was drive 1...why am I explaining this exactly because the lower his stock the better as far as I am concerned. 2nd drive he made a terrific catch, good separation, 25 yards. He only needs about 4 receptions a game to cause some damage. He has a high ypc and I think 50 receptions here will gain him about 750-800 yds, 4-6 TD, that would be great for a WR5 I am grabbing in the 11th/12th round.Murphy came on with Derek Anderson and did rack up a bunch of yards in short order but he was not in there with the 1st team. I do see Murphy quietly seizing the WR3 but he will likely stay there for now. Edited August 18, 2012 by Ministry of Pain Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shutout 2,013 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I've had this guy in a dynasty since he came out and I've always kind of liked him but, to be honest, I really think I've seen this before. There's no doubt he has talent but right now it looks more to me like the flashes he gives every once in a while and not a true improvement. I'm also looking at how both teams that have played the saints have torn them up and it makes me temper that also. Of course, this week will probably be more of the same because the giants can't stop anyone either. My gut, as an unbiased owner (he's just one of those guys I've rostered but never really fallen in love with or hated), is that he has trade value right now but he's not as good as people are thinking right now.

acal21 0 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 First of all the guy is being used out of the backfield too now. His role is expanding and hes catching his targets that are growing by the game. Once defenses start keying in on steve smith, Lafell is only going to get better. His rapport w Cam is growing and he is the future at receiver on this team so I only see his role expanding over the year. Definitely see WR 2 upside if he keeps producing at this level. People have to stop hating. What has Louis Murphy ever done? (aside from have a nagging injury) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wiscstlatlmia 1 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) Id sell while I still could. The Saint are making everyone look good right now and I still don't think he's a difference making type of Wr. 2 cents thrownConsidering he was drafted as a WR5, you don't think he can put up at least WR3 numbers? Who would you try to get for him that you trust more going forward? The guy's shown steady improvement. I don't agree that now is the time to bail.He's slow, skinny and Louis Murphy is a better version of him. Why are we acting like this is his first time seeing the field? He has played a lot and never did anything aside from a 91 yard td in a meaningless game last year in week 16. Longterm I don't like him either, Kealoha Pilares is the name to watch.What do you mean hes never done anything? He has produced very well on the amount of targets hes gotten.I'm confused lol 2011 36 613 3 56 2010 38 468 1 77 1 60keep in mind Jimmy Clausen was throwing him the ball in 2010 seems like a pretty normal upward progression to me Edited September 19, 2012 by wiscstlatlmia Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Soulfly3 4,386 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Kealoha Pilares is the name to watch.Did ZERO receiving in yr 1.Has 1 catch for 6yds in year 2.LaFell has played only ONE year longer, and his YPC average is higher than Pilares NFL career numbers.
