Serpent 51 Posted October 12, 2012 Andre Johnson sucks too I guess He does. Everyone is trying to unload him but it probably won't happen. He's a crappy WR3 now, who you just have to hope turns it around later this year. I would much rather have Brown over Andre Johnson right now, and am in fact starting Brown and benching Andre Johnson in the league I have him. Well started Brown, and yes it might backfire this week, but whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mgs316 14 Posted October 12, 2012 How do any of your leagues have brown ahead or close to Wallace even in ppr? 21/345/4 29/346/1 By tds it's a 18 pt difference just on tds. Minus 8 for ppr, that leaves 10 unaccounted for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

p00h 85 Posted October 18, 2012 just got leshoure for him. Dude wanted dez, I said no way. Have dez and reggie wayne at wr and needed rb help badly, so very happy. Was trying to get BJGE but i think it's a wash between him and leshoure anyway... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was trying to get BJGE but i think it's a wash between him and leshoure anyway... I'd rather have LeShoure over BGE right now. Atleast LeShoure is involved in the passing game in Detroit. Plus, ever since the opener against Baltimore, BGE hasn't found much running room this season. I think you got the better end of the deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steelers2101 7 Posted October 18, 2012 There's no point in debating with people who do not understand the incredible randomness of TDs. They are almost impossible to predict for good reason. Brown will get his, just from the fact that he gets targets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p00h 85 Posted October 19, 2012 There's no point in debating with people who do not understand the incredible randomness of TDs. They are almost impossible to predict for good reason. Brown will get his, just from the fact that he gets targets. TDs are fairly random, especially for WRs, but some dudes just aren't a factor in the redzone, and overall targets will have no impact on that. He's likely to get a few 60 yard bomb tds, but he's not a factor in teh redzone, this is a fact. Hasn't been since he came into the league. Nothing wrong with that, WRs play all different roles. Some go deep, some get possession catches, and some are really good in redzone offense and have a rapport with their qb which gets them the TDs. I don't think brown is that guy. They look for miller, they look for wallace, they go to their backs, not brown. So yeah, there's randomness, but your over the top comment about no point debating blahblahblah is fairly out of order... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I drafted Brown in my PPR, and I agree that some guys just aren't much of a factor in the red zone. That's why the term 'possession receiver' was created. Names like Wayne Chrebet, Keyshawn Johnson, Ernest Givins, Jimmy Smith come to mind - tons of receptions, but double digit TDs just weren't going to happen with those guys. Brown might be that kind of guy - his numbers so far (pretty early in his career) are certainly consistent with that label. That said, he's the #25 WR in PPR so you could do worse at your WR2.

WR Guru 31 Posted October 19, 2012 I drafted Brown in my PPR, and I agree that some guys just aren't much of a factor in the red zone. I think the frustration that a lot of people have with Brown - and you've seen this if you've watched the Steelers at all this year - is that he DOES get opportunities in the redzone and he seems to choke on them.
