JerryK Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Man I was all proud I got him, but he's becoming a real boat anchor. I could have won my matchup this week if he'd just caught 90 yards and 1 td. I think he dropped 100 yards worth of passes. There isn't really anyone I can pick up instead of him, just wonder if his output to date is really HIM or if it's just their opponents. -j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Don't drop one of the best receivers in the league after 1 bad game. Hines will get you 1,000 yards and 5-10 TD's. He's not a #1 fantasy receiver, but he's a #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebabyny Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hey, it was a rough night for both offenses last night. The problem with Ward, and why I avoided him in all three of my leagues, is that PITT is VERY MUCH a run oriented team. You will find streaks where he has a big game here or there, but the best blocking wr in the league will never be a top #1 wr. Also, I saw Miller as eating into his production big time, in my opinion he was the wr to target from that team if you have to start a TE and didn't want to pony up for one of the top 3. Those short dumps and mismatches they are going to exploit with that kid are going to further hurt Ward. I would say if you have a top 5 wr as your #1, hang onto ward for now, he is a very good #2, especially if there is really nobody else. Your other option is to package him in a trade maybe, but that is hard advice to give without knowing your team and your league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryK Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Thanks for the info guys. I've got 2 other receivers doing well, so I'll hang in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Ward caught a touchdown in week one. Meaning, he has more on the year than "number one WRs" Randy Moss and Larry Fitzgerald. No reason to dump him because of one bad game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryK Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 I'm sure you guys are right about Hines, but he's fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow_monkey Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I have the guy too. But I'm not giving up on him. Why? Because the rest of my recievers blows too. The only reciever I have that has been a positive surprise is L.Coles. I got him low in the draft, to my delight, but I would not have expected him to do THIS well.
