Comments on: Garrard’s Value Sliding

At this rate, I may well wake up to news that Brett Favre is a Buccaneer (as late word out of Tampa implies tonight). While it’s not a fit like Minnesota would be, how do you like his fantasy value in TB (if any)?

Oh, I’d expect MJD to be available to me in the 10 slot, especially since at least two of our league coaches go for either a QB *way* early or opt for the top WR instead of a second-tier RB, which only leaves 6 coaches ahead of me drafting an RB in the first round. It’s a matter of which other RBs are left on the board by my pick… likely Portis, McGahee, Lynch. I’d be ecstatic if Gore was somehow overlooked by the 10 slot.

I hope all this won’t change Garrard too much. Which receiver was it last season that made him so solid? Williams grabbed 10 big ones a year ago but, hell, MJD caught more balls than JAXs biggest receiving threat (if you actually consider him that) and Garrard didn’t even toss a couple of those. He’ll have an OL that should again be, at the very least, serviceable so, if he can stay healthy maybe he can just be the guy owners need him to be. Isn’t he still a player that could potentially put up numbers like Cutler, Hasselbeck, Anderson, or McNabb and go 2-3 rounds later? Maybe he’d have had upside with a healthy new receiving corps, but really if we’re all looking for Garrard to be, “Mr. Consistency” how much as changed here? A situation to keep an eye on, but I’m not too anxious yet.

Thanks. Yea, with MJD, you can’t really worry too much about the bad vibes in the passing game. He’s shown he’s an explosive playmaker already, not to mention a TD maker and a good receiver. And look what Adrian Peterson did last with the ultra-shaky Tarvaris Jackson at the helm and Bobby Wade as the #1. If you can’t get him at #10, I’d be surprised….

I was wary of Garrard already and your insights back up that concern well. I too was worried about how this might affect MJD’s numbers this year since I’m eyeing him for RB as the 10th draft pick in my league — IF I was lucky enough for him to fall to me. Your reassurance on that question is very helpful, Zap. Congrats on putting year one in the books and keep up the great work!

Looks like Reggie Williams will need a scope….bad news just got worse.

Hasn’t he ever heard of Lasik??

Yea, Williamson got some good press in OTAs and minicamp, but since training camp started, I’ve read he’s dropped some balls. You can’t trust him, no way, no how.

I have only read very good things about Williamson to date… Almost too good… I haven’t seen anything negative about him yet, but I’ll take your word on him, especially since I was going to avoid this whole passing game anyway, aside from having Garrard as my QB2 if possible. Easy for me to say though, since I have Brady!

As far as MJD goes, I think he’s special enough to overcome a weak passing game, so I wouldn’t worry about him. The Jag running game is a well-oiled machine.
