Actually he does...He's that good, and we haven't seen a WR prospect like him probably EVER...he's 6'5, 230+ and runs a 4.35 40, and you can't find a flaw in his game...He plays the underneath game like Brandon Marshall, plays the deep game like Steve Smith, and goes up top like Fitzgerald, and this is all in his 2nd year, he's the Lebron James of the WR position.


With that said, he's worth alot...I own him in one league and nobody will trade him to me in any other leagues no matter the offer :~(

And LS2 makes very good offers. :-b

There are only 3 that are truly coveted in a dynasty... Fitz, AJ, Calvin. Several others that are borderline but if you own those 3 in a dynasty... you will be a very happy owner.

The only thing I would disagree with is the Rice comment. Calvin is much faster than Rice. Rice was not fast.

I think you definitely need help at RB position. Lynch as a #1 won't cut it this year as he more than likely will be suspended by Goodell. If that other guy likes Calvin that much (which I think he is a stud) you should try to do a package trade with him. I would say something like this:

Calvin Johnson
M. Lynch

for

S. Jackson
S. Smith

That way you bulk up your backfield with Jackson and still don't take too big a hit at WR by aquiring Steve Smith.

Good luck!
