Thread: Wondering about Eddie Royal

Obviously not a question that would be expected from me, and I'm sure there are many very long threads with everyone's opinion in it already, but I don't want to have to sift through the arguments and stuff so I'm starting my own thread, please bear with me.

How confident are you all in Eddie Royal putting up good/decent numbers this season?? I need to find another WR for my fantasy team, and I can't find someone that seems worth it.

Are you in my league that's drafting right now?

I think I read something where he has moved up to the middle rounds.

The writer said he would be a good investment, as I remember.

I have to agree with him about Fast Eddie.

No... I drafted last week, but I had to autopick my last 4 rounds or so and they got me 2 extra defenses and I have no extra WR's, and Royal is available.

Really?? He wasn't drafted in my league, then again some of the picks people made in my league were ridiculous.

It depends on how your league is scored, but if he was available after a draft, he's a STEAL! In my 16 team 32 round keeper league draft this Sunday I'm expecting him to go something like round 10-15. Maybe earlier....it's hard to sneak Bronco steals with 6 Bronco fans in the league

My league is not scored on receptions, only yards and TD's.

I'm assuming no points for return yard then? I'd still pick him up. I wouldn't at all be surprised if he gets something like 600-700 yards and 6-8td's. As the #2, I think those are pretty realistic expectations, especially with Marshall not around for the first 2 games.

Not seeing who is left on the board it is very difficult to pick Royal. I can not see him as anything but a 2 game show. For FANTASY..... He will be good to have the first two games of the season; after that I would not play him that often. BUT like I mentioned before I do not know what is on your boards so picking is very hard

Im expecting 500 yards ish. maybe 3-4 rounds. But if Punt and kick returns are scored. He is a stud. Im going to have a hard time not picking him up in my salary cap league.

There are points for return yards... Is he still slated to be the top return man??

WhatEver... The only actually proven decent-good WR's left, without making a trade right now, are Deion Branch, DJ Hackett, Steve Smith(NYG), Randle El, Arnaz Battle, Demetirus Williams, and Ernest Wilford... Of which only Branch would be someone I actually would be happy having on my team.

I expect 500-700 yards, 3-5 receiving TDs.

I would take Royal over all those guys.

Thanks... And as a clarification... I am going on the assumption that all of you can give me a non-biased expectation of what Royal will do for the season.

As of right now, I think he's still the #1 KO returner, not sure about punts. Depends on if Martinez gets cut. If he starts producing big time at WR, then they will probably take him off special teams, but either way you get points right? Of all the WR's you mentioned, the only one I'd consider taking above Royal is Branch. That's pretty much a toss up.
