As a Mason owner... this blows.

 

Mason was a solid backup on my roster. Now he might be off my team by week 2-3.

The other thread was that he was on the trading block. This is news and definitely deserves its own thread imo.

 

I don't think it has much of an impact on anyone but D. Mason. But I wouldn't expect Housh to just rush in and start.

[DEEZNUTS 18]

As a Housh owner, FANTASTIC. Value just increased considerably. MUCH better QB, great tandem with Boldin, better running game, overall dramatically better offense. Housh is now a solid #2 WR (IMO).

Sorry Man.....I figured with threads like...."Fantasy Football Tropheys" does your league award one 8spots down this thread is worthy to be on this page.

 

Have a great day !!!!

As a guy who owns both Flacco and Housh, I'm happy

[Filthy Fernadez 2,696]

Damn man; that's a lot of mouths to feed as far as receptions go.

 

Guess I'd upgrade Flacco a little, downgrade Boldin/Mason and the jury's still out on the affect on Ray Rice (in regard to receptions). Might open up the run game/screens more though.

You are right, there is a thread on the bored about Housh and I've veiwed it several times. However I appreciate the new thread since it deals with a beaking development that could be missed by viewers who were not interested in the old thread. So, I thank the poster of this new thread for notifying us of this important news. Thank you new poster.

It upgrades Flacco and makes this team more Super Bowl worthy. They can score with the Colts and they can handle the Jet's D IMO should they face them being able to go 3 wide. It should also open the running lanes for Rice although I suspect his receptions will drop by quite a bit. They already were going to drop with the addition of Boldin.

 

That said, this team should score quite a bit if Flacco improves.

Housh seems solid for 1000 and 8 now.

[Mack 1 6]

I'm luke warm on this pick-up, especially as it relates to Boldin. It's probably a non-issue during the first game or two, since TJ will just be getting acclimated to the offense...but after that, it's anyone's guess.

[fanfootballtn 33]

This is why Rex Ryan flew to Florida and talked to Revis. The Jets would start out 0-1 if Revis didn't sign so why wait and lose a few games now and sign him later in the season when you know you are going to need him to beat the Patriots, Ravens, Colts and the Texans to get to the Super Bowl.

Housh seems solid for 1000 and 8 now.

 

I honestly don't think so.

 

700 and 3.

 

50 catches.

 

It will take him some time. He's not a red-zone threat. And I really believe D. Mason is as good a WR as housh is.

 

Don't go nuts. If I was a housh owner I'd be looking to move him on this news. You might be able to get something and he would be a stretch play all year long.

[PackYourNut 47]

Bump Flacco some more, everyone else is pretty much the same. He fills the role that Stallworth or Clayton would have.

 

Flacco will be a top 5 QB this year!

[YoMamasBreathStinks 0]

I wish there was someplace to "Move" him besides the WW, because noone is going to want him now that he is the #3 Possession WR on a team with 3 possession WRS.

Man I hope so. I drafted him in both of my leagues along with Ray Rice. Now it's time to sit back and with the other Flacco owners.

Honestly, I would move Derrick Mason to the inside and let him play the slot like Wes Welker. If they do that, The Ravens will be in the Super Bowl.

 

I thought this was interesting....

 

In a surprise move, the Baltimore Ravens reached agreement with former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh on a one-year, $855,000 deal, according to league sources.

 

Seattle still owes Houshmandzadeh $6.15 million, meaning the receiver will make a total of $7 million this season.

 

Houshmandzadeh had multiple opportunities but ultimately decided to join a team in the same division as the team that drafted him -- the Cincinnati Bengals.

When you look at where Flacco is at and what surrounds him, you have to be bullish.

 

He's got all the physical skills. He's in his 3rd year and should know the offense hands down by now because everything is the same.

 

He's got a great o-line, great running game and a great pass catching back.

 

His WR's are solid and has legit #1 for the first time. His TE is good too.

 

The defense, for the first time in a long time is a bit suspect. Especially in the secondary. This is a team that will need to score more points then in previous years.

 

Every year some finds a gem at QB in the 7-10 rounds. This year that QB is Flacco!

I agree.

 

I do not think this helps the ravens or Flacco, all it does is provide insurance for when either Mason or Boldin goes down with an injury. I do not think a wide receiver core of 3 slow guys is going to scare anyone.

Ravens agreed to terms with WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh on a one-year, $855,000 contract.

This came out of left field. The Ravens already have two aging possession receivers in Anquan Boldin and Derrick Mason, so it's hard to see where Housh fits. He's the No. 3 receiver at best in a run-heavy offense, and will have to beat out Mark Clayton just to earn that position. The egotistical former Seahawk is an extremely inexpensive gamble as insurance for the Ravens, but offers no fantasy upside. He's not worth a roster spot in 12-team leagues. Sep. 6 - 11:29 am et

[WR Guru 31]

Sorry, Housh owners. His stock just got downgraded to junk status.

 

New QB, new offense, behind two established starters... I know everybody loves to bury Derrick Mason every 10 minutes, but he isn't going anywhere. Minimal value for Housh this year unless there is an injury. Drop him in all but deep leagues. Washington would have been a much better fit with no established starter there opposite Moss (looks like they're going with ancient Joey Galloway for chrissakes).

[Flgatorguy87 160]

I have so much faith that I cut him to add my kicker before thursday. I cut him instead of Darren McFadden or Jabar Gaffney. I think he is a 600-700 yd guy with maybe 4 touchdowns sprinkled in. He might have more value in a PPR, but he seems like a dime a dozen as far as a WR4 who can play flex position some weeks.

[H-man 12]

Downgrade Mason a little.

[Middawg 0]

Funny - a lot of you seem to forget the aged Raven D won't be able to stop anyone. Balt will score 38 and give up 31 every week. Not to mention, Cam Cameron likes to wing it all over. Why would a playoff bound team pound their number 1 RB 25 times every game if their realistic goal is the Super Bowl?? Bulger pickup along with this one, makes me believe they are going balls out to insure a deep playoff run.

[Law 241]

Flacco will be a top 5 QB this year!

 

The thing I always wonder with commits like this is who then goes down? Rodgers, Brees, Peyton, Brady, Romo, Rivers, Schaub...that's seven guys right there. To be top 5, Flacco will need to outperform at least three of them! Let's not forget that the Ravens want to run, run, and run. That and three slow and/or old WRs does not a top 5 QB make. IMO

Mark Clayton-WR- Ravens Sep. 6 - 1:08 pm et

 

 

Ravens WR Mark Clayton is now on the trading block, according to beat writer Aaron Wilson.

 

Wilson says that if the Ravens can't trade Clayton, they will release him. Don't look for Clayton to garner much interest as he's disappointed ever since being selected in the first round of the 2005 draft. This news confirms that T.J. Houshmandzadeh is locked in as the No. 3 receiver and somewhat explains Housh's decision to sign in Baltimore. Still, Housh will struggle for consistent targets in Baltimore barring an injury to Anquan Boldin or Derrick Mason.

 

Evidently he already beat out Mark Clayton

Until shown otherwise, Boldin should be respected as nothing less then the utter monster he is

Although it's just preseason, in the first 3 games they allowed only 25 points TOTAL before giving up 27 to the Rams in game 4 which probably featured their 3rd stringers. Albeit against Carolina/Washington/Giants but it wasn't the Ravens' starters 100% of the time either.

[IGotWorms 4,058]

I believe Housh's skills have deteriorated substantially. He was never a fast guy to begin with, but he seems to have lost a step or two over the past year. Maybe a change of scenery will inject new life in him, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being pedestrian at best.

The only thing that baffles me is the guy was 14th in Receptions just last year. Did he lose that much in one season or was it more coach / player ego? Either way, glad I don't have the head ache.

The cluster**** of WR's on that team makes me glad I stayed far, far, away. I forsee a Saints like approach this year. Holy TD vultures!

Your a douche! This is breaking news and is fine being where he put it.

last year he put up respectable numbers with injured ribs and seneca wallace. he is going to have a better year b/c he is healthy and with a QB who is accurate.

Yep and you are absolutely correct. But other then the top 3, Rodgers, Brees and Manning, I think all of the others on that list will have to fight over the last two spots. Obviously, if an in jury happens than that changes everything, but I think that Brady, Romo, Rivers will play well and still perform at high level. It doesnt mean that Flacco cant out produce them. I think Brady has the best chance to finish top 5 out of those 3 though. So I I would say my top 5 are Rodgers, Brees, Manning, Brady, Flacco. In no particular order.

 

Even if flacco ends up 6th, with where he is being selected, that's a huge win for any FF team.

dear god, i hope so! i drafted RB/WR really aggressively in a 6paTD league, banking on flacco being available in the 7th.

 

i got what i want, not we'll see if i want what i got.
