lots of people are buying based on what he did last year. and fair enough. early in the year I expect this may continue, but as the year goes on the kid will get more playing time. If Williams gets hurt, it could be a game changer. if he stays healthy and plays well, the team will ride the hot hand (and why wouldnt they) I personally wouldnt spend a first rounder on him, but I would spend a mid to late second rounder

agreed. everyone does not share the same risk. some players have more risk for sure.

he still gets an NFL pension. not sure how big that it, but it should be substantial enough that he wont starve. as for the bankruptcy, I dont know that its a case where the poor cant afford bankruptcy. its more a case of there is no point to going bankrupt. The main reason to declare bankruptcy is to protect the equity in your home. if you rent or dont own a home, there is no real reason to declare bankruptcy other than to keep the credit collectors from calling you.

maybe. but they will run williams until there is nothing left in the tank. hes not a big guy, so durability could be an issue for him moving forward. once he gets hurt, then Corum will get a chance to show what he can do. for now its Willams job but the situation is worth watching.

yep. sad state of affairs.

https://fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=15563 Gutsy move. potentially leaving a lot of cash on the table. but then again, I'm not sure I'd want to play for the Saints right now. They already have cap issues. adding a player with a 40 M cap hit likely means purging the remaining talent on your roster. I guess he just does not wanna play for a losing team. or hes just that pissed at the way he was treated by the Raiders. either way..... ouch.

he will help in the sense that WR's on the team know how good they need to be to get playing time. hes just good enough to be on the field but not good enough to draft for fantasy. Hes a third WR on most NFL teams. 4th WR on some

there will always be one or two highly risk averse people out there but as a percentage the # of people who care about this will be low. Personally I dont even know that I'd re rank him at this point. biggest threat is hes not fully in game shape when he returns. and that sort of thing fixes itself in a week or two

so does this mean the dude can be suspended by the NFL then? or has the NFL done away with suspensions for smoking weed as its legal in half the country?

there is always concern when a player misses camp but I dont think the team is changing the offense all that much and he knows the playbook. the only way I'd be real concerned is if he comes back and doesnt look great leading into the regular season. at that point I'd be concerned the missed practices may lead to a slow start. but its way too early to predict something like that. its just something to watch for as the start of the season gets close.

this is another one of those ones where I'd say hes a better Actual QB than he is a Fantasy QB. sure he had the one season where he had huge numbers, but in general, thats not who he is. he wants the W more than he wants the Stats and his game will reflect that.

honestly, this is probably where he should have been going all along. if he slides to mid 2nd or late 2nd it wouldnt surprise me a whole lot given the injury but I would not expect him to slide into round 3 very often. dude is too good and a lot of people will be willing to draft him late round 2 even knowing he misses one or two games to start the season. (which is currently not projected to happen btw)

I actually thought he was ranked #3. though the last time I looked at this stat was about 2 or 3 years ago. its possible an active QB passed him on this stat since. but I remember when seeing this stat, my thought was there is more to this guy than stats. To this day this is one of the reasons I defend him as a player. This stat alone is a tough one to go against. I'd rather have this stat than the gaudy huge yardage stats some QB's put up without getting wins.

Jets’ Aaron Rodgers gets significant injury update at OTAs (msn.com) as this article was released in the last 24 hours and it pertains to a player some of you may be considering in your draft, I thought I'd post the link. Looks like hes doing fine.

have not done a big analysis, but I do like team 4, 6 and 12 (even though team 12 has no QB yet)

this injury should throw a bit of water on that fire. at least until he is healthy again. Granted hes expected back before the season starts, so I dont know that it will affect his value a lot.

option C. I didnt know he was still playing.

well, someone in this offense needs to produce. between McConkey, Chark and Palmer, one of them likely has a 1000 yard season. possibly even two of them. but its a roll of the dice. good news is none of them are going in the first 5 rounds of your draft so the Risk once you get late in the draft isnt all that high. This is one of those where if you draft on the end (ie. #12) and if you run reasonably late I'm betting you can get two of these guys to be your #4 and #5 WR knowing one is likely a performer and one likely a dud.

Thats your opinion I guess. most of Carrs Career he had no legit #1 WR and had a bad team around him. I assure you that doesnt help the stats. with the exception of his last year with the raiders, the only guy he had to throw to for most of those years that any of you have heard of was Waller. yes, he was an average performer, but of all the average performers, hes the guy who had the least to work with in terms of talent. I guess the question is whether he can up his game with better talent on the field. We shall see. obviously one of us will be right and one of us will be wrong. hehe we can resume this discussion once our sample size in terms of games played in New Orleans is a bit larger.

this is silly. I dont think I need to dignify this with a response. I dont know how many times commentators on TV mention how many wins and losses a QB has in various situations (and overall) a stat is anything that is quantifiable that people keep track of. wins and losses are a stat. and I'm not gonna participate in this argument further as Its such a stupid argument I feel my IQ lowering just by having associated myself with this debate (if you can call it such)

ok I'm talking 10 to 12 team leagues. Most people dont play 14 teamers. even so, hes on the cusp. probably a 2nd round pick today but his ADP may rise. it probably will if he has a good camp. for me it would depend on who is available. at that point in the draft there are often at least one or two players who I felt should have gone earlier who are still on the board. so depending on your draft format you may or may not take Henry at that point. personally I cant ignore the age thing. I did it once with LT back in the day and regretted it a bit. and I was quite sure he had one more year left in him. turns out I was right as he had a resurgence in his age 31 season. but thats another story. bottom line, the risk of the pick going down the toilet is higher than youd like when you are dealing with a 30 year old RB. I'd take him with a 2nd round pick. but I wouldnt do a first. dont get me wrong, I dont blame you for taking him late in round 1. I just wouldnt do it myself. and I love Henry as a player. Nothing used to make me happier than watching one of his patented goal line runs where hed stiff arm someone and then carry 2 or 3 guys trying to tackle him across the goalline with the ball and score a TD. but when the wheels fall off a RB at this age it tends to happen quickly. while I agree he probably has one more year in him. I'm not willing to gamble a first rounder on that.

it is. 2 superbowl MVP awards and 2 rings makes up for a whole lot of average to above average production. why? because the whole reason teams churn through QB's (sometimes even decent QB's) is because they want one that they think can win them a superbowl. so the fact that Eli won one twice and was MVP both times? you can put up with all the rest. you take those 2 championships and be happy you have them.

even if he plays, hes dicey. lots of times when players have off field issues it affects their on field production. Unless I get him for cheap I'm not buying. someone else can have him.

it might last. There is an awful lot of bias against RB's once they get close to the age of 30. Granted that bias exists for good reason. and the wheels have been known to fall off anywhere between the age of 29 and 31 with 30 being the most usual place where it happens. for that reason, I dont take him in the first round. but if he falls to me in round 2 I'd probably take him.

Technically it is a stat. and given the QB handles the ball on every play where you have the ball (other than maybe kicks) I think Wins and Losses are definitely something you need to look at when evaluating a QB playoff wins and superbowls are also a stat. arguably THE most important stat for a QB
