I would like to know how these numbers are calculated. When Cooks faced Ekpre-Olomu last year he was shut down but caught a few short passes. While they were still catches to me they don't count as beating a CB.

I wonder what happens to the whole offenses FF value when Peyton hangs it upTibereas said:
I netted Latimer in both rookie drafts so far - pick 2.02 in a 12 team league and 1.23 in a 32 team league, but he's the future #2 or slot guy, not taking over for DT.

Latimer's odds of ever being as good as Thomas are slim to none. Still, I think he's one of the guys in this class that has true WR1 potential if he works his craft correctly. He should be better than a slot guy.Tibereas said:

I agree that he can be really good (see that I took him in all of my leagues so far). But the days of "better than slot guy" meaning much are over in PPR. Slot guys can be pretty damn valuable.Latimer's odds of ever being as good as Thomas are slim to none.

Likely won't have 4 elite receivers, but Oz is pretty talented.I wonder what happens to the whole offenses FF value when Peyton hangs it upTibereas said:

Peyton will be in Denver for 2-3 years still imo, plenty of time for Latimer to put up big numbers with him and gain tonnes of value for trades if you want to.

but he could try to repeat.
Repeat ?Manning got his a$$ handed to him in the SB, He'll be lucky to get a sniff of a SB game again, and if he does we should see more of the same as we did in SB XLVII.
Fantastic regular season QB, below .500 career in the playoffs.

Peyton Manning says his goal is to play out contract with Broncos. Which is through 2016. Which is when he's 40: http://www.

And. as a point of reference, I remember an interview when he was about 33-34, where he said that he wanted to play until he was 40.
Next year he'll become the all-time TD passing leader but he'll probably need to play in 2015 to become the all passing yardage leader. Not that you know he's ever given the impression he cares about stats or anything.
Foot injuries worry me but I targeted Latimer heavily in dynasty drafts but mostly came up empty, just got him in one place. I wanted him because I truly believe that with reasonably good health by the end of the 2015 season he'll be 1b to DT's 1a in the way Jeffery is to Marshall. He's got as much upside as any WR from this draft class.

More than half the QBs that have ever led their teams to the playoffs have .500 or worse playoff records. That includes many of the greats.

Cody Latimer - WR - Broncos
Broncos second-round pick Cody Latimer (foot) was limited during OTAs, but "did offer glimpses of how adept he is at winning the ball in contested situations."
ESPN reporter Jeff Legwold also confirms Latimer "is on track to be ready for the regular season opener." Latimer stands 6-foot-3, 215 and ran in the 4.3s at his Pro Day. It was Sigmund Bloom who suggested Latimer could be this year's Keenan Allen. He just needs to catch one break higher on the depth chart.

Is there anyway this kid can get on the field this year without an injury? I'd love to see him in the starting lineup, but I don't know if Fox will sit Sanders for him.
Time Kibitzer
Footballguy
Absolutely. Peyton Manning has more say over the offense than Fox does. If Manning thinks the offense is better with Latimer out there over Sanders or Welker then that's what's gonna happen.

Good point, and I'm not here to piss on anyone's parade, but this time last year Peyton had been talking Montee Ball up for a couple months. I know, different positions, but I'm just sayin'. Probably best to just stick with the vets. Peyton can make anyone look good, he doesn't necessarily need an overachieving rookie on the field with guys like Welker, Thomas and Sanders who are going to do all the small things right and also have the ability to make big plays.

By all accounts Sanders has been looking very good in camp too. I love Latimer and own him on quite a few dynasties but his real value is 2015 unless one of DT, Welker or Sanders goes down. This offense is scary good this year if Ball can get it done on the ground and in pass protection.
Time Kibitzer
Footballguy
It's not what Manning says about a player in August that matters, it's what he thinks about him in November that matters.
And I think you're overselling Sanders and Welker by quite a bit. Sanders struggles to catch 60% of his targets on a season by season basis, and when you consider he's an underneath receiver that of his 161 receptions has only 3 that went for 40+ yards, I think it's fair to say he's mediocre at best, and has hardly exhibited the ability to make big plays. Welker's definitely a much safer and reliable target, but he showed some serious signs of decline last year, and he definitely didn't exhibit the ability to make big plays either; his longest reception last year was only 33 yards.
And as far as overachieving goes, that simply depends on one's expectations. One person's overachieving is another's underachieving.

I think you're missing my point. I don't think Sanders is anything special, in fact, I sold him in the only league I owned him. Thanks for signing him and giving him any sort of value, Denver!
I was more talking about the little things. Picking up Peyton's audibles on the fly, making the right blocks.. And just being consistent running routes and being in the right places. I think that's all Peyton needs. Especially when we're talking about true pros like Thomas and Welker.

I don't handcuff WRs, but I'll make an exception. If I get DT then I probably will grab Latimer too.

True....but only one has lost more post-season games than any other QB in the history of the national football league.

Welker has had his 3rd concussion in 10 months and could be out for some time. And when / if he does come back, another hit could put him out for good. Scary stuff for Welker. I know it's hard for these guys to walk away and some have. Others continue to risk their long term health and continue to play despite warnings from doctors. Really hope this one is considered minor and he can continue on with his career and life with no lingering health issues.

So if Welker is actually out, is this Latimer definitely worth a pickup in a fairly deep league? (65 WR rostered right now)
For this year, is he more roster-worthy than any of these guys either way?
