phins1921 10 Posted September 19, 2011 With Parrish out for a few weeks, is it worth signing David Nelson? I have AJ Green on my bench still and not sure if I should sign Nelson and start with to go with Andre Johnson and Mike Wallace. Julio Jone started for me this lasy week and did nothing. He seems to be a fav target of Fitzpatrick, over the 1st two weeks. Can he good play continue? Bills play Pats this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDC 5,893 Posted September 19, 2011 I'm strongly considering picking him up this week but I'd have to drop Lynch or JStew. I seriously don't think either of them have much value and it may be worth a flyer. Nelson is huge, built like VJax and he plays on a team that throws the ball a lot. Why not? Somebody's got to be this year's Brandon Lloyd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Mueller 146 Posted September 19, 2011 To me right now Nelson is the most intriguing WR ww candidate, followed closely by Decker. You mentioned the loss of Parish but here's a few more of my thoughts on the situation. A. I trust Fitz. He's good and they are going to throw. Fred Jackson is good enough to keep defenses honest. B. He has been targeted nearly equally with Stevie J. C. It's pretty clear the Pats secondary is horrible so he should be good there. He might even excel in his matchups with the Jets as Stevie should draw Revis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SabreNation 3 Posted September 20, 2011 Word broke today that Roscoe is done for the season, so that helps Nelson's value. The problem I foresee for David Nelson is that Buffalo runs a spread offense with between 3 and 5 WRs on the field at any given time. Fitz throws the ball to whoever is open (and if no one is open, it goes to Stevie.) For the past couple weeks, David Nelson has been the main beneficiary of that but I have a feeling that Buffalo's #2 WR is going to change on a week to week basis. In week 1, it was Scott Chandler that got a lot of love from Fitz. Week 2 saw Nelson get a ton of balls thrown his way. Next week it might be Nelson... or Donald Jones... or Ruvell Martin. Who knows? I think Nelson is the most talented of the bunch and will have the best numbers come the end of the season but I don't know if there will be any consistancy there. He is worth adding if available and could make a good FLEX option or possible WR3 in a deep league but I don't know that he'll be consistant enough to be anything more than that.

All decent thoughts but he has nearly mirrored Stevie in targets/receptions/yardage and I don't see much changing. Stevie J 20 targets- 18 catches-164 yds- 2 tds David N 19 targets- 17 catches-157 yds-1td Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Week 1, Nelson and Johnson had 6 targets each while Chandler got 5. Week 2, Nelson had 13 while Johnson had 14. Although Johnson had more targets, Nelson was more productive. Nelson ended last year hot (last 3-4 games) and has continued to put together 2 good games to start this year. I think he will continue to get targets and is worth a roster spot. And if he can continue to make the best of his targets, he can be the breakout WR everyone is looking for this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Mueller 146 Posted September 20, 2011 Who y'all like better, Decker or Nelson? Neslon. He had contributed with Stevie merely limited by a groin and now they have lost Parrish. Decker contributed while Lloyd and Royal were out. They might be out for a bit but they will return. I also trust Fitz more than Orton. Nelsons situation is concrete. Decker's is fluid imo.

Dsausage 36 Posted September 20, 2011 Who y'all like better, Decker or Nelson? I like Nelson because once Lloyd comes back Deckers numbers will decline. He is not nearly as big as Nelson and it would appear not on nearly as good as an offense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dsausage 36 Posted September 20, 2011 I am big on him. Now that we are all on his nutz, how much do we pay for him in auction waiver leagues? Lets base it off of 100 dollars for the year. This guy worth 25-30 bucks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CapsFan1 0 Posted September 20, 2011 I am big on him. Now that we are all on his nutz, how much do we pay for him in auction waiver leagues? Lets base it off of 100 dollars for the year. This guy worth 25-30 bucks? Depends on what you have left. I blew a bunch of my budget picking up Colston when he was dropped so I can't afford to go in on this guy but I let a buddy that really needs wideout help and has all of his budget left know that he would be crazy to let this guy get away. All the indicators for me look like this guy is going to breakout. I would love to have him as insurance for my Stevie Johnson groin concerns but I just can't afford it and I am already carrying D. Branch and Ochocinco and have a week 7 bye week issue to solve. In my league I would think a bid of $11 bucks would probably do it this early but it really depends on how badly somebody needs help. I know another guy who lost both Charles and Austin in the same week. Ouch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pee-diddy 27 Posted September 21, 2011 I dropped Chad85 for Nelson today. I am sold on BUF's offense, Fitz at QB and Nelson as a WR. He seems hungry and is in the perfect situation as already mentioned by other posters in this thread. I am considering starting him over Jordy and Devery this weekend and both of those guys have good matchups if that tells you anything about my confidence in the guy. The QB situation in Denver (Tebow) scares me with Decker. And the Raiders passing game and QB flat out suck. Thatz why I picked up Nelson. I am thinking 80-1050-7 for Nelson this season. BUF is the new Indy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreen626 17 Posted September 21, 2011 Lance Moore was dropped in my league who should be my #1 priority...Moore or Nelson? Since Roscoe Parrish is out @ Buffalo and N.O. spreads the ball so much should i go after Moore or Nelson first? PPR format. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tecklc2112 7 Posted September 21, 2011 Per Rotoworld... David Nelson will be the Bills' full-time slot receiver going forward. With Roscoe Parrish (ankle) and Marcus Easley (heart) out for the season and Stevie Johnson (groin) hobbled, it's turning into a perfect storm for Nelson. The slot receiver in a Chan Gailey offense is a heavily targeted position and Nelson has excellent red-zone skills at 6'5/220. There's major breakout potential here, starting this Sunday with a plus matchup against the Patriots. Source: ESPN.com Sep 21 - 8:41 AM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted September 21, 2011 Would anyone consider starting both Johnson and Nelson? That's my problem. My WR options are not great, but I'm not loving that NE matchup after how they shut down Gates. One BUF WR may do well but which one. I may stick with Stevie one more week he's doing well in his own right thats' for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Axe Elf 0 Posted September 21, 2011 My WR options are not great, but I'm not loving that NE matchup after how they shut down Gates. They shut down Gates, but how did the SD WRs do? Yeah. So don't start Chandler, but start both BUF WRs if you have them--unless Johnson's groin turns out to be bigger than we thought. (I mean the injury, ya goofs.)

Axe Elf 0 Posted September 21, 2011 I hate NO WRs, 'cause you never know who's going to do well. However, Henderson has started the season with 2 100-yard games and a TD in each one, so it would be kind of hard to let him go at this point. Maybe Moore comes back from injury and makes Henderson less useful--and maybe not. Nelson is going to be pretty solid week in and week out, so he's someone you want on your team, but you might shop Henderson (while he's high) and/or Moore (on the promise of his return) with each other or with a bench RB or something in a 2-for-1 deal that would land you a single more reliable WR and give you the roster room to still pick up Nelson.

Thanks. i meant "trade" instead of drop. Nelson was picked up this morning. So to get him it would have to be in a trade. I'm shopping Henderson around in the league right now but may try shopping both NO WRs together also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boston Three Party 6 Posted September 21, 2011 Grabbed in almost all leagues after he went unclaimed on waivers and people snagged up Decker, McCluster, etc. I own Johnson in 3 leagues and if his groin issue worsens it could pay dividends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They held McNabb to what 35 yards passing week 1? Brady throws against just about anyone. Pitt should manhandle Indy but Wayne seems to be a favorite of Collins and they won't run the ball. I'd give Nelson the start over Bowe for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
