Hankerson time? (1 Viewer)

I've been debating picking him up as my week 3 stopgap. My concern is that him and Robinson pretty much split snaps last week. I'm about to go all in though.

Google news shows it as "may get start" and "likely to get start".

fair enough. im just saying hes a good speculative add if you got a spot. if he blows up vs a terrible secondary youll have to spend big $$

I'm also projecting a shoot out this week.
It's going to be a bad secondary vs. an even worse secondary.
WAS has no pass rush now and got lit up by NO and STL.
CIN made Flacco and Weedan look like Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady.

Boldly I cut Garcon for Hank tonight, boldly.

wow, there was no way to keep both?

I won't go through my lineup choices but yes I have others, lesser names, I can cut, I'm just getting the feeling this thing with Garcon is going to last and last and last. I was high on him before the year, it was amazing what he did in the first 10 plays or so vs the Saints, but I hate dead wood on a roster and I would not be surprised if Hankerson excels. I am trying like hell to trade Garcon to no avail.

Washington's D actually looked good against NO(considering how good of an offense they have). The Saints converted two 4th downs for touchdowns in the 4th quarter or else the game never would've been close.Obviously they looked horrible last week though, and the injuries don't help at all.

Yeah WAS looked really good week 1. I believe they were able to get to Brees a couple times though. Without Orakpo and Carriker, I'm expecting Dalton to have a bit more time in the pocket.
You're not the only one. I had McFadden last year so this is already feeling like deja vu all over again to me. At the least, hearing "similar to turf toe" is not great. You go back and watch that attempt to tackle him on the TD and it looks like absolutely nothing. Crazy.

i think theres a small chance garcon is hampered all year by this. but even if he comes back healthy, who knows? pick up now, ask questions later

And Josh Morgan isn't a world beater on the other side of the field.

This. and then some.With all the WR injuries swirling about, this guy's as good a spec as one can get .... that is one mofo leaky secondary the Bengals are trotting out there, and Hank hit a long one last week. The early week WW darlings (Hartline/Avery) can't match the upside of potentially being RGIII's main threat. For THIS week, he looks to be a very nice start ... and with the bye weeks looming, he could prove to be one hell of a filler, especially if Garcon is hurt more than we know at this time. BUY.

I picked him up in all of my leagues.

I am sure Monday morning someone will bump this but it seems like an Andre Brown perfect storm situation. Add that Morgan is probably in the doghouse for his stupidity, and I am really high on him this week.

Yeah I was looking for a stopgap originally but I think this is more than that..Let's face it, with-out a serious pass rush, WAS is more than likely going to be in a lot of shootouts in the near future (I'll say it again, sell Morris). This coupled with the fact that Garcon's foot woes seem to be more serious than we originally thought and I'm going to want whoever RG3 locks in on in the next couple of weeks. If Hank is going to be RG3's first read when he's going through his progressions, he will hold some real value, that's a fact.

Just snagged him in 3/6 leagues. Of the 3 I didn't get him, two would require a waiver to be used. I'm interested in him, but I'm not crazy
The other one I'd have to cut one of these for him.
Cam Newton
Julio Jones
Dez Bryant
Percy Harvin
C.J. Spiller
Michael Bush
Jimmy Graham
Garrett Hartley
New York Jets
Eric Decker
Darren McFadden
Trent Richardson
Steven Ridley
Robert Griffin III
Martellus Bennett
Decker is the only one I'd even remotely consider. Could anyone here honestly pull the trigger on that?

Definitely the best upside situation of WW WRs out there right now. I picked him up as end of bench flier. I think he could quickly elevate up himself to wr36 Torrey Smith territory. Nice bye week guy or high risk high reward flex starter on a team top heavy with starting talent but no depth.

wow thanks for the update chief!

Skins fan so I had high hopes for Hankerson, but I haven't seen it. He looks awfully slow and clumsy for the smooth WR I was expecting. He didn't look so smooth catching that bomb from RG3 and his being open seemed more like facing a rookie in coverage than great route running. Call me skeptical.
Now for a 1 week pickup, I'd recommend him highly. The bottom line is that the X receiver in Shanhan's offense is getting the ball. Take Garcon's 1 quarter and then Aldrick Robinson's next 5 quarters and you've got >200 yards receiving on 13 targets. If Robinson doesn't drop that deep ball vs St Louis it would be closer to 250 yards in 2 games. RG3 throws a great deep ball.

Starting him this week over Welker.

Good post. I do remember him bobbling that deep ball a bit. I think all of us are just fawning over the opportunity + the match-up here.

think I will start him over Benson in my PPR work league, this is a tough call

I am glad you posted this. I know nothing about Hankerson but saw his catches in that game and thought the same thing. I expected him to be more fluid but he appeared to be more lumbering. Small sample size for me though.

Would you drop Titus Young for Hankerson?
kegger
Footballguy
Actually all 3 of those you highlighted right there had useful info in them.Also I start this guy over that guy works as a gauge for others to think about.While your post had nothing to add or think about. Great use of the forum space.
Dude. You're making it worse.
westbrook36
Footballguy
I wouldn't cut anybody on that team, including Decker. Decker may have been a little disappointing so far, but cutting him for an unknown seems like an overreaction.
Phenix
Footballguy
Nah, I disagree. These schmucks never learn unless you do things of the sort. The Mods allow too much of people posting in the wrong forum, I do not see a problem with letting them know it. Also, most of the people who do it, know they are posting in the wrong forum, but do not care.NO ONE IN THIS THREAD OR FORUM CARES ABOUT ANYONES TEAM. It does not matter how you word it, if you are asking who to cut, sit, bench or start, you are asking for advice.
Tong Po
Footballguy
Actually NONE of those posts were asking for advice. They were telling you WHO they were benching in favor of Hankerson this week. In a topic that was started to discuss the value of Hankerson, I find this kind of input useful.

Exactly, These guy's "trying" to post as forum mods are making things worse.
If there is no useful info in someones post it will just get ignored.
(posting about it just makes even more non useful posts, doesn't help)
I'm trying to get a handle on these players worth, people stating who
there playing them over helps to get a feel for what others values are.
--
After reading a few, I dropped Santana Moss, grabbed Hankerson to put in
over Randy Moss on a depleted roster in 1 league, Had I known about him I
may have played him over Lafell as well..

I also find it useful when people mention who they are starting over or dropping for or what someone went for in trade. It helps you gauge the general real market value of player vs VBD econ values.Obviously would you drop him for x or should I start y or z are pure ach but responding to chastise in public is not the answer.
I actually instead of doing that DMd a poster who had a clear ACH post as I saw he had a low post count and basically recommended he edit the post and gave a quick rundown on forums both for his benefit but moreso, I told him, for the benefit of the thread as it useful but would soon be derailed and lo and behold.
Anyway the post by the skins fan was interesting and kind of jives with my general thoughts of hankerson. Here's more an opportunity play and less of a pure talent play. Unlike say a lamar miller who I think is a talent play who just needs an opportunity.
