Mario Manningham the real deal?

Eazy E · Post #1 » by **Eazy E** » Tue Sep 22, 2009 12:13 am

His past 2 games have been legit. Pick him up?

ChronicKerr · Post #2 » by **ChronicKerr** » Tue Sep 22, 2009 12:50 am

He should be universally owned IMO. The Nicks injury surely helps the PT him and Smith are getting currently.

Steve Smith is also a free agent in my league. There numbers are almost identical, with Manningham having 1 more TD. Who do you think will be more productive throughout the entire season?

Talking about picking him up and trading him for Moreno, with pieces thrown in. Good deal?

As long as he's healthy, Moreno should be really solid, especially in PPR leagues, I think he'll be similar to Steve Slaton last year.
Do the trade as long as you need the back and not the reciever.

OK, well, not surprisingly, he wants a bit more. Should I include Walter? I could use the roster spot on Burleson or Clayton...

i just picked up manningham for kevin walter

and i can get smith if i drop anthony gonzalez (whose out for like 4 weeks) should i get both?

I'm hanging on to Gonzalez, because I'm deep enough at WR for now (Smith, Bowe, Ward and Walter). He's the #3 passing target when he comes back (ahead of Addai and Brown IMO), and should have greater value than Eli's 2nd WR target (remember that this game was against Dallas' awful secondary).

Here's a question for you, would you drop Crayton for Manningham?

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Anyone else want to weigh in on whether or not this is a good idea?

In a heartbeat. Crayton will have break-out games, but he doesn't seem to be consistent. Manningham is looking fairly consistent right now.

Who should I start this week Manningham or desean Jackson. They say Jackson aggreviated a groin last week

I picked up Manningham for Antonio Bryant, whose knee problems seem to be lingering. Eli Manning has to throw to someone and he's as good a target as any.

I missed out on Manningham(someone had higher waiver priority) but I got Steve Smith and he is in the infamous 3rd season, the supposed and ultimately often breakout year for WRs.
He has been quietly playing the part to a tee while Mario garners all the attention.
We'll see, but it was a painful add for me, I had to drop Crayton who I have been hyping up since August as a sleeper pick.

You got the better of the two. Even if Manningham ends up with a few more TDs this year, he won't see as many balls thrown his way. Steve Smith is Eli's security blanket and he'll see 8-10 targets weekly and is a near lock for 6 catches a game. On top of that, he's obviously got upside with TDs as he's found pay dirt in two of 3 games this season.

Cliff Levingston has him on two of his 3 teams and he was in the lineup this week thanks to injuries to Moreno (who was questionable all week) and Westbrook.

Alright guys so I have Fitzgerald and Randy Moss as my 2 receivers in my yahoo H2H league. I picked up Mario but do you guys think I should drop him for Chansi Stuckey?

Also If I keep Mario do y'all think I should trade him for a good RB.

I have Smith(DET), Leon(NYJ) and Grant(GB) as my 3 RB's.

Not in your lifetime. Definitely keep Manningham over Stuckey. In terms of a trade, I'm guessing you have a flex position? You might want to use him there. If you're looking to trade him, I'd wait a game or so until he blows up for another 14+ point game.

What do you think happens to the Giants wr's when Hakeem Nicks comes back? Where does he fit in - #3? Does he steal touches?

How could they justify playing Nicks over Manningham after his play this year so far?

Steve Smith is the #1 for NYG (which Cliff Levingston called 3 weeks before the season started) and will see the most targets, but Manningham is a really nice complement along side him. Since they use Boss so much as a blocker, most of Eli's targets are going to go to either Smith or Manningham until Nicks proves that he's better. Unless Manningham starts sucking, it'll be tough for Nicks to get that opportunity.
