Sleeper Pick - Hype

Postby Whitney26 » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:39 pm

Just wondering what everyone thought of Mike Williams (SEA)? I bought into the hype and took a flier late in the draft. Does he have more value than Naanee of San Diego? Or, should I own someone else on the Seattle roster?

I don't think he has more value than naanee, more like a wash. As far as how 'I' feel about Williams, I never even thought of possibly picking him up.

Yes, I was the idiot who bought into the hype. Since I'm fairly new to the FF game, I wonder how much of a risk I'm taking by carrying only 3 WRs? I already have Andre Johnson, Randy Moss and Johnny Knox. Minus an injury or a bye week, it's not like Knox is going to get on the field.

My RBs are another concern. I have Forte, Charles, Greene and LT. It might be a good play to go after a WW back instead. Lynch and Scott are two sleepers I could target.

Again, thanks for your help.

When Housh was cut from Seattle I considered adding him. Eventually, somebody else got to him before I did but I wasn't too upset about it. A speculative move on one of your last few roster spots is always worth the risk. If I were you I'd cut him and look for a WR. Is Naanee the only decent WR on the heap?

Thanks for the help. There aren't many WRs available on our WW:

Legedu Naanee
Jabar Gaffney
Mike Thomas

As you can see, it's a pretty weak group. If I had to guess, Naanee has more upside than those guys (and Williams SEA) but I'm not sure. I could, however, go another route by dropping Williams to go after another RB that may offer more upside. Two, Lynch and Bernard Scott, may be a better play. Like I said, this is my first year playing and I'm not sure how important depth is. I'm strong with my starting WRs....AJ, R.Moss and Knox.....but my running backs having worked out.

Same here. It's hard to get excited about the Seahawks offence.

Go with Naanee. He has the most upside out of the guys you listed. I have Floyd on one of my teams but Naanee could produce equally to Floyd on any given week. If in a week or two Naanee still hasn't given you the production you sought out of him, then consider replacing him.
