Slim Pickins 0 Posted October 29, 2005 Would you drop another WR to pick him up? A kicker? Let him rot on waivers? Anyone think he can get healthy and be viable for the final stretch? I'm thinking of dropping Brandon Jones for him. Neither would start but my WRs are starting to look like a MASH unit. Still, a gimp for a gimp... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2bmayhem 1 Posted October 29, 2005 Leave him right where he is.... just as long as he is not on your roster. I wasted a draft pick on him, much to my regret. The Texans are just bad this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flooredyas 0 Posted October 29, 2005 Just got dropped in one of my leagues. Not for me, but I think someone will take a chance on him, as waivers are always thin in that league.

Slim Pickins 0 Posted October 29, 2005 Yea, my poor Texans. Just can't get it together this year. The O line is pathetic. Jeez. Thought I might pick him up just to give me a reason to keep up with the team. I never get the games over seas but I can imagine (unfortunately) how bad they must be to watch. Guess I'll let him rot where he is and save the $1 ww pickup fee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freakcat 0 Posted October 29, 2005 I drafted him in the 4th round and can't let go of the idiot! I'm really hoping he comes back, Houston gets it together and he leads me thru the playoffs.. Not freaking likely, but there isn't anything out there to drop him for. My advice, beat the guy who dropped him for making you take the time to think about it. But do not pick him up, he just pi$$es you off! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slim Pickins 0 Posted October 29, 2005 Hell, I think I'll take a flier on him. Maybe he breaks out, maybe he doesn't. He'd be behind Ward, Burress, and Horn (all my WR are questionable). I would drop a kicker or DST but I'm still going through bye weeks and there is that $1 ww fee Maybe he'll break out and I can trade him back to the owner that dropped him...yea...that's it.

mggoilers 0 Posted October 29, 2005 I personally don't see how in any league, unless you're in some 6 teamer. How he can be on the wire in week 8...lot of season still left. He is definitely worth a roster. He's way too talented when healthy, and he has not been healthy. I own him in a keeper league, and guys are treating him like trade filler. I will not trade him until I see 2-3 games where he is healthy and doesn't perform. I don't want to deal him and watch him explode next year. he is a top 10 WR talent when given the opportunity and health. If he plays this week, I'll play him and hope for the best as my 3rd WR. But my WR corp is bleeding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charles Rogers We know what Andre Johnson can do in the NFL. We have no idea what Charles Rogers can do. All the same, I would not drop Johnson to pick up Rogers. I would drop somebody else to get him. Remember, Rogers might be relegated to the 3 receiver role on the lions, while Johnson is the 1 on the Texans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lostsoulny 2 Posted October 29, 2005 Someone just dropped him and I scooped him up, injuries hurt my WR core so bye bye Bennet hello AJ, mind you it is justg a wait and see situation he is my 5th option right now, but if he and Horn can turn things around could make for a nice strong playoff team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveJ 0 Posted October 29, 2005 I'd pick him up if I had room for him to collect dust... I am not convinced his talent is going to waste yet... I remember Plax was on waivers last year and there have been others. If your in a Dynasty league, pick him up you can only get better from here on out.

Tankslap 0 Posted October 29, 2005 Someone just dropped him and I scooped him up, injuries hurt my WR core so bye bye Bennet hello AJ, mind you it is justg a wait and see situation he is my 5th option right now, but if he and Horn can turn things around could make for a nice strong playoff team I think what's being lost here is that it isn't AJ that sucks. It's the whole Houston offense that sucks, starting with the O-line and falling apart from there. D.Davis is the only guy that you can trust to start. I just don't see how AJ will "turn it around", as if he is even able to do so by applying effort. He's hit my WW in one league this week, sitting next to Michael Clayton who I dropped last week. I'm trying to convince myself to drop an *injured* WR (Brandon Jones) to pick up one of these saps in case they start producing. But the problem is the inconsitency. I'd rather start someone with less upside but more reliability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niners_fan 0 Posted October 29, 2005 I wasted enough time on AJ in my lineup with him putting up 0, 1, and 2 points respectively and his useless self has no room on my team. Plenty of other wrs out there worth getting including Burley, Bryant, Chatman, Braylon is coming around, ect. Better to have guys on the bench that can be productive rather than be duds.

Qman 0 Posted October 29, 2005 Definitely don't rely on this guy as a starter. But if it comes down to storing Jones or AJ on the bench, I'd rather have a guy who has the potential to be a stud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankslap 0 Posted October 29, 2005 You forgot to mention who that would be, in your estimation. I was talking about AJ. Thought so but I had to check, because there are those that think Jones could be a stud too, based on the number of times he's targeted every week. I just don't think I could ever trust AJ this year based on the first 7 weeks, unless he goes off 3 weeks in a row and forces my hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mile High Magic 8 Posted October 29, 2005 I dropped him because I had to. Start 3 wr/te 14max roster auction league got him for 6 with 100 salary cap. Injuries. Holt questionable, Gates questionable, Rod Smith and AJ. Picked up M.Robinson off waivers. I just don't see his line ever protecting Carr long enough to get him the deep ball. When he goes over the Middle Carr gets him Jacked Up. Just like Griese used to do in Denver. Maybe next year he will break out if the team does some major adjustment to protect Carr. But right now Bust of the Year considering where he went in most drafts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seadog54 20 Posted October 29, 2005 for you guys to say he has potential to be a stud. so does other players in the league. But I'd rather take a player like Kevin Curtis to be a stud because he is surrounded by a team that can help him produce. However, with AJ, he is in a horrible offense, horrible defense, and horrible team. And the team already revolves around Davis. I can't see Houston's offense scoring 35+ points. A great game for AJ would be 60+TD. How many WR's out there can do that? Tons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rye & Leaf 0 Posted October 29, 2005 If we look at last year, a great game for AJ would be 12 catches 170 yards and 2tds. He put up these numbers in week five of 2004. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
