Where is the love for this guy? While he may not be a top 25, he IS the #1 WR in San Diego and should get a look during every pass play. But, he is NEVER drafted. I know he's not a superstar, but isn't the #1 worth at least a roster spot?

I've been reading that Marty is planning on using a WRBC with Kevin Dyson, Eric Parker, Kassim Osgood, ect. Committees are usually fantasy nightmares.

Their passing game looks to have the potential to be as useful as... ergh, I had a cool line from a movie to use there, but it's slightly innappropriate. Let's just say their passing game should be regarded as a wasteland - outside of maybe Antonio Gates.

Well, he's really a #3 WR maybe falling into the #1 be default. I put him at about 60 catches, 5 tds and 800 yds... top-end. Tim Dwight could outperform him, and that's not good. Wouldn't be on my roster in a 10-12 man league.

I've heard some great things about Osgood's potential. That would be for the longterm, though. I doubt any SD WR will do any good this year.

I agree...this is like a bad KC and BAL situation where the TE is the best receiving threat for the year. Gates could be a very nice TE pickup. He had some good games at the end of last year.

If you can, I'd leave him undrafted until SD shows they will have a passing attack on the outsides of the field.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not drafting him either. Just wanted to hear some reasoning. Good points, I think he is someone to put one your 'Watch List' nonetheless.

Eric Parker is on the "to watch list". He is from wide receiver U. Tenn. How they score these guys year in and year out is beyond me. Look at his limited stats. This guy can burn. He will pull in long TD passes. If he stays healthy this season I predict 1000 and 6.
