ricanrockers 39 Posted July 23, 2006 With Givens gone and Branch holding out, who will be Brady's #1 WR this year? (Assuming Branch doesn't sign) Reche Caldwell Troy Brown Chad Jackson Bethel Johnson Did I miss anyone? Any NE homers out there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacman_fl 0 Posted July 23, 2006 Yes to all of the above. BUT, Branch will sign. I know - wasted post, but this is the only answer I can see. BTW - you missed Watson and the 50 other TE's on the roster plus Faulk, Vrabel and the other 20 "receivers" who will have stats this year. Sorry to be an arse, but NE receivers are more maddening than Denver RB's. GOTTA LOVE BRADY THOUGH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't forget Watson...I just wanted to see which WR has a chance of stepping up INCASE Branch does not sign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
9-Route 0 Posted July 23, 2006 its the pats---everyone gets the ball; yet, not not enough to be a viable fantasy contributor. among the targets are branch, brown, jackson, watson, graham, thomas, every hb/fb. basically, too many to count. a nice spread reality attack, but a horrible fantasy attack.

Ignignokt 0 Posted July 23, 2006 Brady's arm's good and Bethel's swift , but I'll doubt Brady will reach Bethel in New Orleans. Branch will sign. They let Givens go to have money for Branch, who's Brady's guy. Reche and Chad will battle for #2 (the former starting the season there, the latter ending as #2, imo), and Troy will be a reliable #4.

I hope Branch signs but from past history, guys who hold out and miss pre-season games don't really do well during the season. I hope he signs before.

bigtuna 0 Posted July 23, 2006 Branch and Jackson will be the starters i think. I see Branch going for 1000 yards and 5 TD's Jackson will be good for 700 yards and 7 scores. Watson 550 yards and 5 scores Graham 400 yards and 3 scores Caldwell 350 yards and 3 scores Brown 350 yards and 2 scores Vrabel 8 yards and 2 scores Thomas 100 yards and 1 score Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raider 84 29 Posted July 23, 2006 Branch will be there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redtodd 7 Posted July 23, 2006 I agree that Branch will be there and be the #1. I also believe that Caldwell will be the #2. Troy Brown will be #3 and Jackson will end up as the #4. He might move to #3 by year's end. Watson will effectively be the #2 receiver though, but if you are strictly talking WR's, Watson doesn't matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brady has been working on his arm strength in the off-season... he may be able to reach Bethel down there... I heard Bruschi was practicing at the flanker spot in the voluntary 2nd mini camp .... what an insperation to us all ! You Da Man Teddi !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jgcrawfish 232 Posted July 24, 2006 wow, 28tds tallied thus far, WITHOUT the hbs/fbs? That doesn't even include 16 TD for Dillon, 8 for Maroney and 5 rushing TD for Brady himself. Patriots = top scoring team in the NFL this season at that pace!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoadLizard 73 Posted July 24, 2006 If you are drafting Patriots WR's then you should find a new hobby like Bowling or something. Why do you think people hate the Pats so much from a fantasy perspective? They SUCK for fantasy production except for Brady. Go ahead and try taking those turds..... they had something last year like 427 different players catch at least one pass and 265 players that had at least one TD. Patriots = Fantasy KILLERS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peens 0 Posted July 24, 2006 I targetted Chad and Reche late in a 12 team redraft recently as my 5th WR. Whoever secures the #2 WR in NE I plan on cutting the other for a backup D or K. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
