Who are the best "Up and Coming" WRs? (1 Viewer)

[JayK]

This seems to be the year of WRs you never heard of (or who had never done anything in Pro Ball before) making an impact. Just wondering how some of you would rate some of these "previously unknowns" (again, on the pro level) in terms of how they'd do for the rest of the year. My ranking is below.

And is there anyone else you'd put on this list?

M. Colston

B. Berrian

R. Williams

J. Cotchery

M. Furry

T. Williamson

 

[Tommy Collins]

Colston

Williams

Berrian

Cotchery

Furrey

Williamson

 

[lod2005]

Put Jennings at the top.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

I'd put Jennings and Colston as 1a and 1b. Both with solid quarterbacks that seem to have confidence in them. They both also have a good vet opposite them to almost ensure they won't be doubled, at least for the near term.

 

[BoulderBob]

I'll take Berrian over every other name on this list, although it is hard to dismiss Colston.

 

[yinzer]

doug gabriel looks to be moving on up, though hes been in the league longer than most of those guys i think. I like berrian and colston the most too probably. Colston gets all kinds of targets and has an experienced and accurate qb, and after watching that sunday night game, berrian gets a lot more looks than i thought and seems to capitalize/be open on a lot of them.

 

[Sinrman]

Put Jennings at the top.

 

[BoulderBob]

Put Jennings at the top.

He is still a rookie playing with two other solid WR's. Berrian and possibly Colston will put up better stats. In the future, Jennings has the potential to be a solid #1, but the same can be said for Berrian and Colston.

 

[Mr. Chumley]

Did you guys know Yahoo lets you play Colston as a TE!! Just kidding. I just thought we needed a Colston as TE reference.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Berrian's produced this year so far, but he's the guy with the QB I trust the least of those three(he, Jennings and Colston)

Yeah, I missed Jennings... and I have him on one of my teams! I think on my list he'd be #4 though.

Sure we do! How could I have forgotten that?

 

[fruity pebbles]

Williamson will be the best of that group in time.

 

[SickThing]

Chad Jackson will eventually make an impact. Not sure Reggie Williams qualifies in this criteria.

ETA: Or maybe you meant Roydell Williams? He's done nothing impressive. I know you didn't mean Roy Williams, right? You need to distinguish.

 

[Hue G]

At this point I already trust Grossman more than Vick, has Vick ever produced a 1,000 yard WR?

Which Williams? Is that Roy or Reggie? Can't believe nobody has asked that yet!

Yup, missed your post. So, whats the answer?

I, uh, had Colston and dropped him (EAGERLY) in week 2 when Watson hit the wire. Gates is my starter, so at the time I figured neither would play any other week than week 3. Man, am I kicking myself now

Considering Roy was generally considered one of the top 10 WRs this year, I have to assume he's speaking of Reggie.

Last I checked, neither Jennings or Colston play on Atlanta.

I made that point earlier too. As for Reggie, just because he didn't see as much action when Jimmy Smith was around doesn't qualify him as a out of nowhere guy now. He was drafted in the first round in 2004 and had about 450 yards receiving last year. It shouldn't really surprise anyone if his numbers go up with Jimmy Smith not around.

 

[valhallan]

I think there's Colston and then there's everyone else.

 

[gkza]

I think there's Colston and then there's everyone else.

Can we throw Reggie Brown in there?I own Brown, Cotchery, and Williamson. I like what I see out of all of them. Coming from a guy who drafted Moss, Rod Smith, and "choke" Michael Clayton. These guys have all help me get to 3-1, and my one loss was by 4 pts Cotchery as all may remeber busted Torry Holt's records at NCState. I am a Jets homer and think he is for real, 'sho nuff. I wish they started his growing process last year, but Herm Edwards was our coach. I think williamson will be nice, he seems a little uncomfortable. He caught an 80 yard bomb! in the game vs. the Bears in week3, that was called back for offensive interference. Once he sorts that out he will be a solid WR.I think Brown will to McNabb what all thought TO would be in a season or two....

 

[corpcow]

I think there's Colston and then there's everyone else.

What puts him over the edge, I think, is the TE eligibility in some leagues. But at WR, I don't think he's quite as far from the rest of the pack mentioned.Cotchery has put up very similar numbers to Colston so far, and he's in his third year. What happened to our love of the "third year WRs break out season"? Seriously though, I think Colston is playing at a high level, but he's a rookie and I just feel he's more likely to come back to earth.(For what it's worth, I grew up 10 mins away from Hofstra and played some high school games in their stadium, so I have a soft spot and want him to do well... )

when I originally wrote this I was referring to Williams from JAX.

oh, and for the record, what I was thinking of when I said "WRs you never heard of (or who had never done anything in Pro Ball before)" was WRs not ranked in the Top 50 preseason, who are now (or may be) among the WR stat leaders in the NFL. I should have been clearer, I know...

 

[Monkian]

Braylon Edwards at least merits a mention here, correct?

Definitely. I'd take Edwards over every single player mentioned in this thread.

So when you say "every other name" is that the names in odd order you'd place Berrian above, or the even ones. Strange logic... ;-)

Brick Mits Williamson? Good one. That's pure comedy.

Good list.

Add: Reggie Brown Phi

 

[bigcorn]

if he gets his off the field problems straightened out, chris henry could be in this group.

Williamson has a better chance of catching the ball than Henry has of getting his head on straight. If I were his agent, I would have arranged a personal chauffeur already. I mean, how many times can you make the SAME, STUPID MISTAKE! Call a damn cab, man! At least last time he didn't drive - just puked out the window as a teammate did.
