Hey Faust,
Most of your posts probably don't get answered but I want you to know you are one of my favorite posters because you give info but not hyperbole. Thanks for your many contributions here. I'm sure everyone appreciates it but most don't react much because they can't start an argument with you.

What are dynasty owners of Dobson thinking about his future prospects?

Dead sexy
the problem is that he missed his chance to be relevant in NE. injured, ineffective or whatever it doesn't matter now. he's nothing better than the 4th option in the offense? he's got no value in NE and won't barring a number of injuries. i think he's done there and would be interested to see if he can resuscitate his career elsewhere.

If Dobson makes some sort of third year leap into relevance I might actually die from all this crow.
The kids done, hes a washed up never was. He doesn't fit the system, he doesn't excel at anything and has hands that would make Dwayne Bowe or Desean Jackson blush.
Just awful.

What I liked about Dobson's performance this week is that he caught 7 of 8 targets. Brady is not quick to trust and shies away from guys that do not catch a high percentage. I thought this week was a good step in Dobson becoming a dynasty buy.

Was surprised to see him get picked up for about 5% in my league today
ETA: and the guy dropped Agholor to get Dobson. Maybe its just me, but Im giving Agholor 2-3 more weeks before cutting bait.

I scooped him up in my redraft and my dyno
If last week was a sign that he has finally started to up it all together and Brady and belichek trust him now he can give the pats the type of wr that they've been sorely missing since Randy moss left town.
He's not the most talented wr but he's the closest thing they've got to a true wr1 with his physical characteristics.
And to have a part of that NE passing offense can be pure gold, jerry!
There are a lot of mouths to feed but when Brady is throwing the ball 40+ times per game for 300-400 yards and 3-4 TDs he can get his.

I watched the coaches film, he looked solid. He had one boneheaded drop but other than that he was exactly where he needed to be every time Brady looked for him. I agree with rickyg, I want every piece of this NE passing game I can get right now. On the one team (12 team keeper, start 3WR, 2RB no flex) I dropped 5% of my budget to stash him. On that team, I have Gronk, Lewis and now Dobson and would have no problem trotting them all out if this NE insanity continues.
It might be man. But is it any less risky than picking up Travis Benjamin, Len hankerson, etc and plugging one of them into your lineup?
Ff is a game of risk and conjecture.

Most likely fool's gold but rolling with him over Roddy White this week

He went for 11% in my league, more than I was willing to pay.
In games that Brady throws it 59 times, he's your guy. Otherwise, not so much.
No one can say if he will produce consistently. If you can then please also tell me next weeks winning lottery numbers.
But I like his profession as a receiver and that his coaches and qb are talking him up.
And I like that he's in a team with gronk. Gronk is basically their wr1. He's gonna get double and tripled teamed in most games. Then you've. Edelman who is the more established threat in opposing defenses' eye. Then they have to worry about dion Lewis out of the backfield and potentially Scott chandler.
It all means that Dobson is in a unique situation to fly under the radar all year and wreck opposing defenses every week. He'll never be double teamed or bracketed in coverage. He'll always the luxury of one on one and perhaps not even against the opposing teams best CB.
And with the NE pass happy offense and Brady at qb I like those odds to produce.
I grabbed him in redraft and dynasty this week. In dyno league I got him for 7% bid.
I think people are sleeping on him BC they think lafell has this position sewn up. But I don't think so. The pats drafted Dobson in the 2nd round and they clearly want to make it work with him. Plus he's got more raw talent than lafell and can stretch the field better.
If Dobson lives up to his draft grade consistently before lafell gets healthy and is eligible to play I like his chances to cement his role as a key cog in this offense.

I liked Dobson as a rookie prospect. I think he is a very good blocker and a WR that I thought would be a good fit for the Vikings before they gave up multiple draft picks to move up with NE and draft Patterson.
The 2013 rookie draft was pretty poor for wide receivers which in that context made Dobson a better prospect relative to the other options available.
He struggled with some injuries and LaFell took over the role in the offense that I think Dobson was drafted for. When LaFell comes back it is not clear to me if he will resume being the starter of if they continue with Dobson. Hard to argue with Dobsons performance in week 2. If he keeps doing that I don't see why they would bench him. I do think both WR are interchangable in this role.
I picked Dobson up after week one in a 32 team league. Hope he keeps being involved.

Debating whether to drop Charles Johnson and pick him up....would like a piece of that NE offense.

I don't really agree that Gronk will be double or triple teamed. He gets moved around so much he ends up in isolation or exploiting zone coverage a lot.
also, Dobson was not all that impressive against the Bills. It was a product of a high-volume. He was 4th in targets. I like him but LaFell's job is probably just fine come mid-October.

Lafell has infinitely better hands and savvy than dobson, who is a better vertical threat and more physically imposing.

could be. Dobson was undrafted in a 32 team league that requires 3WR to start and offers the option of a 4th WR as a flex. So out of 106 WR drafted Dobson was not among them.

Is LaFell really coming back? Aren't we still in the dark on his injury status? I'm only asking because I really haven't followed closely, and thinking Dobson might be a decent speculative add.

Today is the last train to Clarksville for young Mr. Dobson. God's speed young man.
