Need Some WR Advice!
« on: Dec 17th, 2003, 12:56am »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
Need to pick 3 for my playoff game:
 
Amani Toomer, Giants @ Dallas
Rod Smith, Broncos @ Indy
Steve Smith, Panthers home vs Detroit
Travis Taylor, Ravens @ Cleveland
Freddy Mitchell, Eagles home vs SF
Bethel Johnson, Patriots @Jets
 
I am leaning towards Steve Smith, Freddy Mitchell and either Toomer or Rod Smith. Any help would be great!

Smith & Mitchell sound good, but I'd take Taylor over Toomer.  Dallas D vs. an inexperienced QB spells disaster.

I'd definitely do Smith and Smith.  Your #3 is a tough choice.
 
Toomer has a new QB and faces a tough defense.
 
Taylor has been pretty quiet, Wright is inconsistent, and Cleveland plays decent pass defense.
 
Mitchell is dangerous, but his best week will be 4 catches for 60 yards.
 
Johnson is another dangerous WR, but he'll give you 1 catch for 80 yards and a TD or he'll give you nothing.
 
So...
 
1. Steve Smith
2. Rod Smith
3. Travis Taylor

I meant Steve Smith just to clarify.  Also I'd drop Bethel at this point he has very little value no that Brown is back.  Rod Smith has been a disappointment fantasty wise.

This is a dynasty league, and Bethel sits very low on the depth chart. I have two other recievers out for the year as well. (Keyshawn Johnson and Charles Rogers) He may have some value later on down the road...

I also like Mitchell's matchup vs. the Niners secondary. That is why I was leaning towards him.

Just remember that the Eagles offense is predicated on spreading the ball around.  All three running backs get carries.  None of the receivers ever has a ten-catch game.
 
So Freddie Mitchell is only going a few passes thrown his way all game, regardless of the match up.  Of those few, count on one being a bad throw or a drop, so you're looking at 2-4 catches.  Also look at how many times the WR has been the target in the endzone... almost never.  So unless a WR catches a short pass and is able to break it for a big gainer, he's not getting the TD.

I concur!
 
There is no way I'd roll my dice on Freddie (not that Taylor isn't a bit of a roll of the dice as well).

Well, I ended up picking up Boby Engram off the waiver wire, which was a good call since he scored!
