ssharpe12 0 Posted September 25, 2011 Not a bust by far, you just over drafted him. 3rd overall???? That's on you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted September 25, 2011 He isn't the bust; it doesn't help that Eli is missing A LOT of throws. Unless the guy is WIDE OPEN and can adjust to catch it, Eli isn't putting it in the right spot. Watch the games and you'll see....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illini9825 7 Posted September 26, 2011 Gonna try to package him up for Brees. I have way too many Giants on my team. Today was good, last two games, not so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoadLizard 73 Posted September 26, 2011 Three games in and you're declaring him a bust The fantasy season is pretty short and 3 crappy games is getting close to bust territory. Especialy when the guy was ranked pretty high. Arian Foster and C Johnson are other examples. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RSersen 0 Posted September 26, 2011 Third overall? Were you on crack during the draft? Ridiculously overdrafting a player doen't make him a bust when he performs as expected. Maybe it was a keeper league or something, or maybe he meant to say third round. I hope. Then again, drafting Nicks 3rd overall is still better than anyone who took Foster, Charles, or CJ2K in that spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RSersen 0 Posted September 26, 2011 The fantasy season is pretty short and 3 crappy games is getting close to bust territory. Especialy when the guy was ranked pretty high. Arian Foster and C Johnson are other examples. You're right. In a 13 game season, this weekend was the quarter pole. But, WRs are streaky. Remember Bowe last year, he was terrible for the first few weeks, and then put up a season's worth of stats in 6 or 7 games. So I tend to be a lot more patient with struggling receivers, as opposed to RBs and QBs. If Nicks and Manning can get in sync, that patience will pay off. Or at the very least I'll be able to move him at a better price. Giant's got a very good stretch of games coming up: @ Arizona, Seattle, Buffalo, Miami, @ New England, @ San Francisco Then it gets tougher vs Philly, @ New Orleans, vs Green Bay, @ Dallas, vs Washington, @ NYJ (championship week) Think I'll ride the wave and hope to get a good few weeks out of him, then move him before the Philly game.

Cyclone47 0 Posted September 26, 2011 The fantasy season is pretty short and 3 crappy games is getting close to bust territory. Especialy when the guy was ranked pretty high. Arian Foster and C Johnson are other examples. Week 1 - 7 catches 122 yards Week 2 - Questionable leading into the game: 4 catches 38 yards 1 td Week 3 - 3 catches 25 yards Week 1 shouldn't be categorized as a "crappy game". 7 catches for 122 and was ruled out at the 2 yard line on a 68 yard catch (a play in which I thought he got into the endzone). Week 2 he was a little banged up going into the game, had a low end average week, but at least gets a touchdown. Week 3 was far below average- the Giants figured the Eagles would key in on him in the passing game, so they successfully exploited other matchups. If you watched the game yesterday, he was double covered on a long throw into the endzone in which Eli's pass was slightly off and on Victor Cruz's 74 yard touchdown, Nicks was running down field with separation from Nnamdi and no safety help, but because of the blitz Eli had to get rid of the ball early. In a game that he finished with 3 for 25, he could have had 5 for 140 2 tds. I know the "he could..." or "if he just..." means nothing in the end, but that shows the amount of variability in a player's stats. Even in a "pretty short" fantasy season, where most people start the postseason in week 14 or 15, he still has another 10-11 games left to produce before the playoffs. Looking at it objectively and taking all things into consideration, if you still categorize him as a "bust" and are willing to write him off this early, then you might as well drop him from your roster because he's worthless and no one in their right mind would want to take him in a trade.

tanatastic 2,061 Posted September 27, 2011 Im still riding Nicks. He had a great game week 1. A few stinkers after, but this week is the break he needs to get on the stat sheet vs AZ. But its now or never to trade him to any owners that still have faith, cuz if he has a great game in az that buys him at least 3 weeks of high value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was just mocking the sentiment op, who I still haven't seen respond to his/her thread... Gotcha. Just wanted to continue the thrilling insight of one sentence replies to the insane sky is falling mentality of the OP and thread. I needed a roll eyes smiley emoticon from you I guess. Do people forget that wr is the most volatile position in fantasy and a ton of great seasons are made with a few huge games and sprinkled with poor or mediocre ones? It was clear that Eli wanted to get the ball to his top guy often and he was back to full health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
