Welcome to TimersSports
What exactly is Love 'em / Hate 'em? Good question. Thanks for asking. This specific article will featured on this blog by your truly. Its basically another version of sit/start 'em. Of course I just decided to rename it. Mainly because its an common article name. Plus I can do a lot more with these articles then name off starts/sits for the week. We will get into that topic another time though. Today we will look at 3 players I hate and love heading into your upcoming draft.
Love 'Em:
Brandin Crooks - The Saints Rookie WR have been phenomenal so far. He is a legitimate flex option and possibly more. Drew Brees absolutely love him. He just may be Brees go to guy outside of Jimmy Graham. This young man have showcases unbelievable blistering speed in the Saints training camp. Dynasty owners better really take notice of this guy. If you don't have him , try convince the owner of him part ways with him. Lie like life depended on it.
Jordan Reed - I love Reed. He brings a lot to the table. There is concern with past injuries. As there is with most Nfl players. Reed brings major upside. Robert Griffin III absolutely love this guy. The new Washington offense should only benefit Reed fantasy value. The addition of Jackson should only give Reed more opportunities. Also RGIII is expected to pass more and have minimal design runs. Another valid point which should solidify Reed case as a nice sleeper.
Ray Rice - Despite a 2 game suspension, Rice could be a awesome selection in the later rounds. The word around training camp Ray Rice is looking sharp thus far. Rice wasn't very impressive in 2013. But being deep at running back is a must. Rice may not resemble his old 2012 self where he was considered an elite back. At the same time , its hard to pass up an 8 or 9 round player with top 20 potential.
Hate 'Em:
Stevan Ridley - "Stevan Ridley is like a ticking time bomb" is how TimersSports blog owner Garry Briggs (@Gbriggs12) described Stevan Ridley on a fantasy football talkshow. And that pretty much fits Ridley to a tee at this point in his career. Ridley is very talented , but cough up the ball too much. His big problem is how he holds onto the ball. Most ball carriers tuck it under their arms to secure it. Ridley doesn't. He have the ball exposed for defenders to swipe it out. Ridley needs to change his methods.
Vernon Davis - Not that high on Davis. He scored 13 times in 2013 and topped 1000 receiving. Sounds great , right? Unfortunately he barley got the ball after other members of the 49ers receiving core got healthy. Davis was pretty much a dud unless he scored a TD. So taking a chance on a high Tight End draft pick such as Davis could be a horrible idea. Where there many underrated options waiting in the later rounds.
Percy Harvin - I am not high on Harvin either. Percy bring a ton of upside. Sadly he cannot stay on the field long enough to be true starter for any fantasy team. We all saw what he could do in Minnesota that one year he stayed somewhat healthy. Until Harvin could prove , his health isn't a factor. He will always be a risky fantasy pick.
