Troy Williamson?

Does anyone have anyway to validate this or have you heard any rumors...

I think it's WRBC - there is no clear cut #1,#2 and #3 - whoever steps up and takes #1 is still a question. Williamson has as good a shot as the other scrubs on that team.

They also have Devery Henderson ahead of Donte Stallworth in New Orleans, which is puzzling.

 

And are the Cowboys REALLY the only team in the NFL to start two TE's and no fullback? I doubt it.

Startribune beat writer had the depth charts for the Vikes last week. It had Koren and Williamson as the #1 WR's in camp. Travis Taylor is putting up a good fight reports say.

Krob is the number 1 WR here in Minny. Williamson is #2 and Taylor is the 3rd/slot WR.

Unless someone really steps up, I definitely see it being a situational WRBC in Minny. Williamson, the Robinsons, and Taylor will likely all see significant playing time.

I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility that Williamson is number one on the depth chart here at some point this season. Robinson was a outstanding special teams guy last season but only caught 20 something passes I believe. Combining that with his horrible drops he constantly had in Seattle I certainly am not sold on him being a number one guy at all.

I doubt it really matters who's #1 in Minny, because they won't be worth much. I expect an ultra-conservative offence. They have a great O-line and a few good RB's, so they should run allot. They can't rely on Johnson, because he's 89 years old and they have no one behind him. And Johnson doesn't have the strongest arm, but he is accruate. So we should see allot of short passes and a ton of running.

 

Their top WR likely won't be an every-week starter on any fantasy team, unles you're in a 16 team league or something.

Last I heard that was right. and last I heard williamson was the #2 as of now.

With Johnson at the helm and four solid-but-unspectacular WRs (not to mention two competent TEs), I think the Vikes are likely to spread the ball around a lot. If the kid had a chance to work with a healthy and confident Culpepper, it's possible he could take on the Moss role and develop into the #1, but I don't think that's going to happen with Brad throwing the ball. His strongpoint is knowing when to look for his secondary targets and finding the open man. I personally wouldn't look for big numbers out of any of the Minny WRs.

Williamson is the starting Split End, Robinson is the starting Flanker. Which one you want to call the #1 Receiver is up to you.

[Korben Dallas 0]

For a second I thought you meant #1 overall. Now THAT would be a bold pick. #1 for the Vikings, who gives a crap?... neither of them are top 30. And its all crapshoot after that on WR's.

Actually, more and more teams are going away from the traditional full backs and going with one TE, and an sort of hybrid H-back... normally a TE that sometimes ends up lining up as a fullback (normally through motion) and lead blocking. Cooley is a good example.

he's not even on my cheatsheet. anywhere.

I think that's a mistake. Williamson has tremendous speed on a fast track dome stadium. He's a big play threat and a definite sleeper for this season.

he was way too raw last year to be an ff factor this year. at best he'll be wildly inconsistent. no thanks. ask me again next year. maybe then.

[RamslovaMartzhata 3]

I hope people here realize that the original poster was referring to Williamson being #1 on the Viking depth chart, not #1 out of WR's. Some of the responses seem like they may infer that.

I agree. I have read that Williamson and Johnson seem to have a little bit of chemistry going early in camp. I was looking at Williamson before I read that and actually picked him late in a draft already. He is worth a late round pick I think.

Then your cheatsheets are incomplete. Any cheatsheet that doesn't have the top 3 receivers on every team is just asking for trouble.

yeah, but he was high alot in Seattle.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. There are tons of teams who line up with two TE's or an H-back or a single RB. That's why it looks odd that Dallas is the ONLY team not listed with a fullback.

that cheatsheet that shows him #1 on the vikings is incorrect. no way does it shake out that way. even if true, yes, i will avoid him. there are #1 qbs i don't want on my roster; there are #1 rbs i wouldn't want for anything more than my #3; there are #1 wrs i wouldn't want at all.

I don't understand this. Does this mean I should rank 96 WRs by draft day, just in case there's a massive run on receivers? Or are you the only person in a 20+ person league?

[skyyaa 0]

Those depth charts aren't totally accurate. Todd Pinkston is not the Eagles #2 right now as he hasn't even been able to do full practices yet and Hank Baskett- who has been practicing and playing as the #2- isn't even listed on the chart.

I like Koren in a PPR league. He should be the chain-mover in a West Coast offense with an accurate QB. If his head is on right, which sounds like it is, I could see a big reception total for him this year.

 

Williamson? I don't know. Might be more of a home-run hitter. I think it's a toss up in a TD-heavy league as to which to have and maybe the answer is neither. But I like Koren's potential in a PPR.
