Free agent receivers immediately after draft

Postby headbiznatch » Tue Jul 21, 2009 6:28 pm

Howdy,

Signed up for an auto draft standard scoring league at CBS (1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF) and came up with a nice squad that has a few question marks at receiver.

Scanned the free agent list and see several candidates to replace the back-up TE that was drafted for me (Donald Lee) and was curious to see how you guys would rank 'em.

ATL: Jenkins
CIN: Henry
DAL: Austin
JAC: Williams
MIA: Camarillo, Bess
NO: Meachem
NYG: Hixon
OAK: Higgins, Schilens
PHI: Curtis
SF: Morgan
WAS: Randle El

There are a few other interesting ones, but these same like the cream of the crop to me.... I am personally partial to Hixon, Morgan, Henry and Curtis but I need some objectivity.

Thanks in advance for all replies...

Those four are worth late round flyers, IMHO. I would say that in your position, I would probably pick up Henry, as he has always had the talent, but he SEEMS to have gotten past his immature crap this year so far. If he is healthy, and Palmer has a decent season, Henry will definitely be worth a roster spot.

Yes you are correct that those 4 are the best of what's left... I like Morgan as a flyer pickup.

I'd add Miles Austin to that list. I think I like him better than Curtis, actually.

Henry and Morgan are excellent high-upside fliers, and I like Hixon too.

Hixon is the best on that list. He is most likely the Giants no. 1 receiver and will post some pretty decent numbers.

I've ordered them as follows and we'll see what happens tomorrow.

Hixon, Domenik WR NYG - #1 receiver, talented, decent QB
Henry, Chris WR CIN - extremely talented, good QB, been watching him for years and I just believe...
Morgan, Josh WR SF - potential #1 receiver, QB?, offense in general ?
Curtis, Kevin WR PHI - very talented, good QB, but how well did the surgery go? and I already have DeSean Jackson...
Austin, Miles WR DA - good receiver, decent QB, kind of an unknown commodity in my mind

Thanks for the input....

i like Austin as well. He'll get a shot with TO gone. Roy Williams has never lived up to his potential, so there could be a void that Austin can fill.

Also Hixon. Somebody has to catch passes in NYG

Ended up getting Hixon and, as a bonus, the only guy off that list that got nabbed was Jenkins.... So I'll keep my eye on the rest (especially Austin - thanks for the heads up!) and if one of my other dubious bench warmers doesn't pan out (Chris Chambers, Willis McGahee maybe?) I can still make a swap.

Thanks again for all of the input...
