Week 3 WR surprise

[ExperiencedRookie]

What the hell was going on at the WR position in week 3?? The top 15 scorers of the week are as follows:

Antonio Brown, Josh Gordon, Santonio Holmes, Sidney Rice, Calvin Johnson, Brandon LaFell, Steven Hill, Kenbrell Thompkins, Jason Avant, Ted Ginn, Donnie Avery, Cecil Shorts, Nate Washington, Nate Burleson, Briant Hartline.

2 Jets WRs in the top 7. NEVER AGAIN. That's crazy to me.

This week has to be some kind of record for bench scoring WRs. Outside of Calvin and Antonio Brown, most of these dudes should have been parked on the bench except in extreme cases. I highly doubt many owners plugged Josh Gordon in coming off suspension with a back up QB on the road for a team who looked like they would try to intentionally lose every game. I also doubt that no one but the most desperate owners played Cecil Shorts @ Sea.

Ya, I posted this on Sat on our Hafax board

Ya, I like Rice a lot this week but how will he ever crack this lineup.

We started Julio, Dez, and Boldin. We coulda really used the extra 10pts. Currently up by 71 but FFToolbox has Peyton, Orange Julius, And Hunter (Oak DE) left going tonight. Gonna be a nail-biter

I know in my fan duel leagues this week, scoring has been well down vs what we saw in earlier weeks.

I have Josh Gordon and Sidney Rice on the bench in a money league in which I lost by 0.56 points (113.00 - 113.56; the 2nd and 3rd highest scores of the week) on the final meaningless Bears' INT last night. My starting WRs were Reggie Wayne, Anquan Boldin and DeSean Jackson.

Hmph.

I had Wayne, DeSean, and Cruz starting in my $$ league with the Garbage Man (Shorts) on the bench.

Ive got that beat. In my dynasty I have Colston, Nicks, Garcon, Brown, Jordy, Shorts, Golden Tate. I can start 4. I picked Colston, Nicks, Garcon, and Jordy. All 4 of them were outscored by all 3 of the WRs left on my bench. How is that possible?? How can I pick my 4 lowest scoring WRs??

 

[mudloggerone]

Sux huh! I started Mr. Zip (Nicks) in another league. Luckily I won there.

 

[Miller]

yeah, I dodged the Nicks goose egg coupled with Cook over Cameron in HG's and still won....

 

[Axe Elf]

I picked Colston, Nicks...

You're right. I should have gone with 1 of your many great sleeper picks. I don't think a single one of them would have outscored Colston

 

[Axe Elf]

You still should have gone with one of them. I made many correct picks there, even if the NFL players and coaches failed to follow through--but then that's on them; I can't do EVERYTHING.

What?? I wish I could figure you out and know when you're making an obvious joke or just being dumb.

I've been on the Stephen Hill train waiting for him to arrive. Gordon was a good start this week. Didn't see the A. Brown thing coming.
