Add your own. All values I use will be for 12 team ppr leagues. These are a few of my favs: Hakeem Nicks: If Brandon Jacobs played WR, this would be him. Nicks is a beast after the catch and is pulling even further away from Manningham who's currently injured. A full-time spot opposite Smith should do wonders for Nicks. His recent injury scare might also drop him down a little further in your drafts. Est. 4-6 Johnny Knox: If you're watching the CHI TC battles then you know Knox has been the story. As of this morning, he's leading all wr targets by 16. Knox is lightning fast and has the route running ability to make Cutler's arm leathal on deep passes. Add Mike Martz to the mix and this guy could be the biggest WR steal in any draft. Love this situation. Est. 6-9 Mike Williams (TB): Has already out-played Aurellious Benn and earned his starting spot (this coming from the HC). Freeman looked decent last year for a rookie and another year and solid OL should lead to more improvements. Any #1 WR that you can get this late is always a steal. Est. 13-undrafted Add yours, or talk **** about mine lol
Mike Williams has impressed but has not cemented a starting spot as of yet. Maurice Stovall and Michael Clayton have also had strong camps.
I haven't followed the Chicago camp reports lately but Devin Aromashadu (sp?) was getting a lot of praise from Cutler earlier in the camps. I don't know if he has been quiet lately but any time the QB has a strong connection with a receiver, it could pay dividends, especially in a Martz offense. Other than that, I like these guys: Devin Thomas, WAS- He finally has a QB that will look deep for him. The guy has size and speed but never had a QB that could actually get rid of the ball. He came on last year and is starting to develop into what people expected when he came out of college a few years ago. Mike Thomas, JAC- As much as I hate Jacksonville's passing game, Thomas has been the Jaguar's version of DBess. Quick with great hands, he has been earning praise. In a PPR league, he is a great late round flier. James Jones, GB- We know the Pack has a killer passing game. I believe it is only a matter of time before Driver falls off this year. Jones has the game to step in and bring a new dynamic to the offense. High Potential.
Yep, he's had a nice camp as well but hes expected in the slot. I read the Tampa papers (pretty big fan of Tampa) so I'm just relaying to you what I read. Stovall has really impressed. He's penciled in right now as a starting receiver.
Aromashadu has been running 9 routes basically the entire camp, to my understanding. They say hes struggled to separate on all other routes on the tree other than the 9 route.
Btw, everything I've read about the Bears, says that Devin Hester has really impressed in camp. He's improved his route running a ton. The Chicago newspaper as well as other media outlets have reported it. Matt Bowen of NFP also stated it. I don't play fantasy football but apparently he and Johnny Knox have been tearing it up and are expected as the 1 and 2 receivers in Chicago. Aromashadu is going to be their deep ball wide out but he won't get majority snaps.
lol ted ginn if the reports are to be believed It was widely assumed that Ted Ginn Jr. was obtained from Miami primarily to upgrade the Niners' woeful kick-return game. But almost a week into training camp, there was a lot more attention being paid to Ginn's work as a receiver, which camp observers agree has been very impressive. "He might have had a down year in '09, but he has played well," said one observer. "He gets deep pretty easily, and I've only seen one drop. He had a rap for being easily intimidated, but there was this one play where he was racing downfield, and he got stonewalled by Isaac Sopoaga. He shot right back up. If he can be the first deep threat (for the Niners) since Terrell Owens, he could open up routes and make a huge impact." And as a kick returner? "For now, it just looks like he's just in the mix with guys like Kyle Williams and LeRoy Vann," the observer said. "They've been much more concerned about his receiving." http://www.profootballweekly.com/2010/08/06/niners-newcomer-ginn-looking-like-good-catch
If it comes down to ability then Ginn will be just fine. He runs routes better than people think, he just needed a change and now he has it.
He's coming off knee surgery so I'll let someone else draft him. Rodgers has plenty of other weapons.
Early Doucett, Arizona. He will replace Breaston as the the #2 WR by mid-season. A steal late in your draft or maybe even a waiver wire pick-up early in the season.
darius heyward bey is another one to watch in preseason. he probably can be a late late pick and he's supposedly been on fire this preseason. i would watch him in the preseason though
Not really sleepers, but I think Dwayne Bowe and Michael Crabtree are being undervalued. Bowe is a potential 1200 yard/10 TD guy being ranked in the same neighborhood as Donald Driver and Percy Harvin. Crabtree is even lower, in the Sims-Walker/Hakeem Nicks neighborhood. I'd draft them both as #2 and #3 options. Insane value for those positions considering the rounds you could draft them in. I also think TJ Houshmandzadeh should have a bounce-back year.
Jacoby Jones is another really good one. He's going against Kevin Walter for the number 2 role in a battle that he has a good chance of winning. Add that to the fact that Daniels is still out and he could be looking at a ton of targets this year. Got him in the 13th of my draft and it seems like he often goes undrafted. Great value.
Hope you're right about Nicks. I'm depending on him as my #2 WR from draft I just had 2 days ago. 12 team league. I think if Nicks performs as we hope, I'll have a pretty good team. M Schaub M Jones-Drew Jah. Best Ricky Williams L Fitz H Nicks J Witten Packers
As a WR 2 you're def rolling the dice a little more. Ideally, he's a great WR 3 with a lot of upside.
that's kinda how I feel. He still has to officially take the job from Mario manningham who had an ok year last year. Like Desides said crabtree is the guy who I see being undervalued. He should be a stud wr2 with the upside to be a borderline one if his qb play gets better. Those in keepers especially should be watching him.
Officially, no. But I think it's pretty fair to assume it's his job week 1. Manningham just isn't on his level, imo.
Mike Williams from TB keeps getting praise every day from TC reports. His ADP is still really low so roll the dice if you can.
Danny Amendola and Laurent Robinson. Donny Avery might be done for the year and Bradford def looked impressive ton.
Mike Williams SEA Housh is leaving town and Hasselbeck and the coaches def seem to have faith in Williams. Hasselbeck says, "he can be our Brandon Marshall." He def has the size, and looks like he's putting it together. Def worth a WW spot.
