CF - Smeg Fantasy Footy Draft 2012-13

Eerily similar to Cruz as well, a semi-productive guy from a non-traditional football school who just shows up in camp and catches everything thrown his way.

 

Of the 4 WRs that just went, I like Greg Little's chances of evolving into #1 the best.

 

Little is like that though, you either believe in him or you think nothing of him.

My thinking is that if you can put up decent numbers with Colt McCoy as your QB, I think you have room to grow with a guy like Weeden.

Of course some other guy could emerge. Maybe Josh Gordon, who knows. Its such a crapshoot.

 

I like Floyd the best of the 4. Meachem the least. I don't think Meachem can play. He got thrown some bones playing in that college offense they run in New Orleans. Massaquoi has more talent than Little IMO.

 

I don't think so, Massaquoi has been in that offense longer and has little to show for it. Little caught 68 balls last season I believe.

I think Heyward-Bey and Floyd are the safe guys who will probably get you near 1000 yards and 6-8 TDs.

Meachem and Little are the potential guys.

 

I've got friends giving me crap for being in a draft for the past few days - "you're stilllllll drafting". I'm like yeah, I'm almost halfway through it.

 

I like Little, if this were a ppr league I woulda taken him over any of the 4. But I feel like Meachem has the best potential out of the 4. If he turns out to be a bust there will be plenty of other receivers to choose from that can provide solid production.

I feel like he has the best chance and will receive the most opportunity to be a true #1.

Massaquoi is garbage and Floyd is another possession receiver type. Heyward-Bey is too up and down for me, plus his production dropped once Palmer became their #1 QB.

 

Floyd is more of a deep threat than possession, but with their offense and erratic QB in Rivers, who knows what will happen. I just know that Floyd likes to sit on the sidelines injured a lot, and that sucks.

 

And for that assumption, of course, you'd have to believe that the Brown's passing game is going to be substantially better with a rookie Weeden this year. I'm skeptical of rookie QBs, even if they are 35 years old or whatever he is. I think he's the next Chris Weinke.

 

Whatever he is, its bound to be better than Colt McCoy.

 

Probably better, but it's like going from Rosanne to Rosie O'Donnell. Ugly is ugly.

 

A case were averages don't always tell the full tale. Here are the numbers in games which Hey-Bey had his best stretch of football:


Jason Campbell QB'n:

vs NE: 4 catches 115 yards
@ HOU: 7 catches 99 yards 1 TD
vs CLE: 6 catches 82 yards
vs KC: 5 catches 89 yards

Subsequently the Carson Palmer trade went down and he still had a pretty decent game in the KC debacle which was put on Palmer.

Then he went out for 2 games and returned to play with Palmer supplanted as the full time QB but didn't really have but 2 explosive games from there, that was 11 of the 13 games in which he participated and 10 of them were with Palmer at the helm:

2 best games after injury with Palmer as QB:

vs DET 8 catches 155 yards 1 TD
vs SD 9 catches 109 yards 1 TD

I guess from my point of view those 2 monster games against 2 of the worst pass defenses in the NFL last year skew the averages you pulled.

He's getting better I'll give him that but IMO I doubt he becomes a #1 with (if) Moore healthy and Streater coming on as well.

 

But it still might be worth it if she takes it in the behind.

 

Then again I may be wrong, he may actually amount to being the 8th? overall selection Al Davis made him out to be this year by completely blowing everyone out of the water.

Just the beauty of FF, you never know for sure what you're gonna get.

 

Charles Tillman, DB, Chicago Bears - PSJ

 

Damn you to hell.

 

Took Mark Ingram (RB).

 

Whoa, Titans signed McCourty to a pretty penny.

By Longhorns reaction toward Tillman being gone, I'm assuming tackles are better overall worth in points than the handfull of I.N.Ts corners have in a season.
