Questionable Wide Receivers
Kevin Day, August 5th, 2009Wide receivers are already hard to predict. Throw in huge lineup changes to the team and you make it even more difficult to guess how a player might perform this year.
Two such players with huge question marks by their names this year are Roy Williams and Chad Ocho Cinco. They both happen to be going in the mid-fourth round for 12-team drafts at 4.03 and 4.05 respectively. Below are their ADP trends since the NFL draft this year.
With T.O. leaving a huge hole to fill in Dallas, Roy Williams has all the opportunities in the world to step up. Things seemed to be shaky at first, but there are reports that Romo and Williams are starting to click.
Chad Ocho Cinco is, well, just being Chad. Although he’s entertaining and active online, there are concerns about his effort level, Carson Palmer’s health, and the absence of T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Coles should do well to take some heat off of Chad, but he’s anything but a sure thing this year.

always a big FF question when it comes to WR’s of the same caliber. Do you take a WR that’s on the better offense (Williams), or do you take the WR that is by far and away the best weapon on the team in Ocho Cinco?
The flip side is that the Cowboys are more likely to be winning and would pound the ball out with the three headed RB monster, whereas the Bengals are assured to be losing and will throw continuously. For that reason, I would take Ocho Cinco first. He is likely to have more targets, therefore more opportunity to produce, almost by default.
