Phil Football1 0 Posted July 5, 2006 Hey. So do you think Hines ward is a good #1 reciever in a 12 team league? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t.j 35 Posted July 5, 2006 Depends on what you mean by is he a good #1. He's a legit #1 receiver in a 12-team league. I wouldn't say he's a good #1 receiver. Probably bottom half of the #1s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Football1 0 Posted July 5, 2006 reliable #1 like a top 12....ur top wr pick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t.j 35 Posted July 5, 2006 Ok yeah, I'd say he's a top 12 receiver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hipcheck 0 Posted July 5, 2006 WARD is a "Great" WR1, if he is your 3rd round pick ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stars 0 Posted July 5, 2006 He's a consistent enough performer to be a no.1 WR in a 12-team league, yep. I've had him a couple of times. I agree, though, that there are several others I'd pick ahead of him, and I certainly wouldn't pick up Ward before the 3rd round. If you're down that low on WRs in the second round, there will be some great value at RB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walter34 3 Posted July 5, 2006 Ward is a guy that has been on my FF teams more than anyone over the years. Always solid and generally underated for the flavour of the day WRs. Book him for 1200 / 10 and sleep easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hipcheck 0 Posted July 5, 2006 I love having WARD on my team in Big Nationally-Televised Games. I offer no statistics, or deep analysis, but I can I say I always have confidence that The STEELERS will look for him in the Red-Zone and at critical times in the game. Sometimes we hyper- evaluate things around here, IMO WARD is just one of those very consistent quality FF players that always gives your team a chance to win.

murf74 461 Posted July 5, 2006 I would probably rank him near the bottom of my top 12 WRs, but I guess that means he will be #1 WR on somebodies team, but I would rather have a guy a few slots higher as my #1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fantasy master 0 Posted July 5, 2006 I would agree with most of the rest that he is about top 12-15 WR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ellisonb11 0 Posted July 5, 2006 the guy is definitely a solid receiver and good fantasy receiver so i think hes in the top 15 WRs easy, but for some reason i just dodnt like having ward as the backbone of my receving corps. he seems to be pretty consistent, and although hes always underrated, i just wouldnt want him as my #1 guy. JMHO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OB1 33 Posted July 5, 2006 Book him for 1200 / 10 and sleep easy.That's funny considering he's only attained those stats once in his career? Year Team G Rec Yds AVG LNG TD 1998 PIT 16 15 246 16.4 45 0 1999 PIT 16 61 638 10.5 42 7 2000 PIT 16 48 672 14.0 77 4 2001 PIT 16 94 1003 10.7 34 4 2002 PIT 16 112 1329 11.9 72 12 2003 PIT 16 95 1163 12.2 50 10 2004 PIT 16 80 1004 12.6 58 4 2005 PIT 15 69 975 14.1 85 11 He's had 3 seasons where he reaced 10 TDs and 4 seasons where he topped 1000 yards. Twice when he had over 1000 yards he only had 4 TDs to go with it. He is top 12, but he has only twice in his career been a true "stud" WR IMO. Don't get me wrong, i'll take him on my team any day, but to rely on him as your #1 is not automatic fantasy success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Super Cubs 156 Posted July 5, 2006 Who's the #2 wr in Pitts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murf74 461 Posted July 6, 2006 Who's the #2 wr in Pitts? Right now it is Cedrick Wilson. He was quiet the entire year and then did great in the Cincy and Denver playoff games. He was #3 last year and a little known fact on him was that he played with a broken wrist last season. But the future #2 is Santonio Holmes if he stays out of jail. Randle El was not a very good #2 WR. He had a receiving TD in week #1 and then went the next 16 straight games without a receiving TD. El couldn't creat separation from a corner like he can when he is the #3 going against a safety. El's natural position is probably at #3 slot WR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cuse9 131 Posted July 6, 2006 Hines is a great one. The best thing about him is he does everything. The problem is this: The Steelers are run first...second....and then maybe pass. He could easily put up numbers that would make him a top three receiver if he played in a different system. His name is bigger than his game in the fantasy world. On the field, I think he's the best. In the fantasy world, I would take him early as my #2 wr. He's consistant, he won't get you 0's and he has big game potential, just not consistant big games.

swirvenirvin 25 Posted July 6, 2006 a decent 2nd round wr.. He wonr be on any of my teams Ward is a guy that has been on my FF teams more than anyone over the years. Always solid and generally underated for the flavour of the day WRs. Book him for 1200 / 10 and sleep easy. Not 2 years ago He has sucked ass the only 2 years I owned him In 2004 he was worthless and not even worth a #2 spot and in 2001 his 4 TD's were just not doing it for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
49ER MAN 0 Posted July 6, 2006 I think he's a very borderline no.1 but awesome no.2 WR. If Pittsburgh would pass the ball a little more, then I would give some more consideration to be a No.1 WR on a fantasy team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
