Canadianfan 76 Posted November 21, 2012 Lets discuss this character. I know nothing about him but his last 2 weeks have been redic, homers do we have ourselves the new VJax or are we dreaming? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DexterMorgan 5 Posted November 21, 2012 I've watched him 1 play, his 2nd touchdown last week. It was an excellent catch, and he's big. Probably starting him this week over Julio Jones and Mike Williams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mullog 12 Posted November 21, 2012 He has the size and skills to be another Megatron. The problem is he also has the knees of a 65 year old man. Enjoy the points while you can (I picked him up too) but it is only a matter of time before he is hurt again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old School 360 Posted November 21, 2012 Pick him up, and start him until something changes. The kid is on fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Showboat 145 Posted November 21, 2012 DX always flashed when on the field for the Rams, but his big problem was staying on the field during his 2+ years there. It's hard to believe that the Rams gave up on him. Hopefully, the change of scenery gets him past the injury bug and he can string a few monster seasons together.

TennisMenace 156 Posted November 21, 2012 The only thing that could hold him back are his knees. I could have picked him up this week but chose TY Hilton instead. I just factored in the injury risk potential with DX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
travis_henrys_baby_momma 10 Posted November 21, 2012 do we have ourselves the new VJax? VJax is an arrogant doosh. Why don't we compare him to AJ Green instead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Mueller 146 Posted November 21, 2012 I just picked him up after he cleared waivers in what is typically a competitive 12 team .5 ppr league. Currently thinking of flexing him over Sproles. Right the hot hand right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WR Guru 31 Posted November 21, 2012 I don't know about "lucky", but I did notice that he abused some midget cornerback on both of his TDs last week while Champ Bailey was locked up on Malcolm Floyd. It will be interesting to see how much longer that lasts before teams start shifting their better cover guys to Alexander. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted November 21, 2012 11 targets last week is pretty telling. I am starting him over Fitz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadianfan 76 Posted November 21, 2012 I'm convinced and hopping on the ALEXANDER train!!!!! :banana: :banana: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Football Guru 212 Posted November 22, 2012 DX recently said his left knee (the troublesome one) feels just like his right knee now. Somehow, I managed to land him on all of my redraft teams and he will be getting the start in just about every league this week. The kid is an incredible talent, so he's probably not leaving any of my lineups anytime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
schaubmynob 0 Posted November 22, 2012 Thought I was screwed last week with Cruz and Peterson on bye. Plugged Reece in at RB, and benched Sproles on Sunday for Alexander... Didn't miss either of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,207 Posted November 22, 2012 Got him in over a gimpy Harvin. As others have said, he's got awesome physical talent but been plagued by injuries. Empirical evidence suggests that the injury part is doing well. Sure he could get hurt again, but so could any player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JtmoneyJag 25 Posted November 22, 2012 The only thing that could hold him back are his knees. I could have picked him up this week but chose TY Hilton instead. I just factored in the injury risk potential with DX. You picked Hilton over Alexander? Injury risk, sure, but there is only 4-5 weeks left in most fantasy leagues. I think people are putting too much into his injury risk considering how much season is left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TennisMenace 156 Posted November 22, 2012 He had a 20 yard completion on champ as well. I agree, he has been fortunate to be considered number 2 and thus not get the better CB. If and when this changes, let's talk.....if he survives that long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JtmoneyJag 25 Posted November 22, 2012 I agree, he has been fortunate to be considered number 2 and thus not get the better CB. If and when this changes, let's talk.....if he survives that long. We shall see, but his upside is higher then any guy on the waivers and could be top 10 WR down the stretch. Waivers have been pretty thin this year so who knows, maybe he is the one who breaks out.

philmckracken 3 Posted November 22, 2012 He is the real deal. He was better than Maclin at Missouri by a good bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
