Keep Cameron.

Cameron has been on the bench all season, I have been starting Thomas from Denver all year.

Cobb.
Cobb is really the only consistent WR that Rodgers gets the ball too. Then its a toss up between James Jones and Nelson.
And I think Nelson is better than James Jones. But, those are the guys that Rodgers throws the deep ball too. Cobb is the guy that the Packers feature by getting him the ball. Slip sceens, bubbles, etc. They make sure they call plays that get Cobb the ball.
Cobb has 33 targets, Nelson 23, and Jones 22.
But, I would try and keep Cameron.

I'd actually keep Cameron and shop Julius. Once the Browns decide to trade Gordon then Cameron will be the only legit receiving option in Cleveland. Take last week for example. Gordon was targeted a ridiculous 19 times and Cameron still ended up with 3 tds!! With their shady backfield he will be the go to guy in the red zone even more than he is now. Julius just has too many other talents on that team. And yea I'd take Cobb. He will be more steady than Nelson even without an injury.

Yeh but the QB situation is not very steady in Cleveland, I know manning likes to use his Tight ends a lot, and my wide receivers on my team are pretty weak.

That's a good point but I'd still take a crappy qb that only has one person to look at especially in the red zone than hoping Manning can keep this up and be able to share the wealth every game. And this is coming from a Thomas owner. I like him over almost anyone not named graham or Cameron right now.

Derp. Nelson is the No. 3 WR through three weeks.
Posted on 9/26/13 at 5:05 pm to jimithing11
I easily want Nelson
Posted on 9/26/13 at 5:27 pm to jimithing11
And Cobb is #9 WR through 3 weeks. Nelson has a whopping 3 more points than Cobb. Thats all that separates the #3 WR to the #10 WR.
And I didnt say Nelson sucks or anything like that. Nelson is awesome. If healthy all season, hes a top 15 WR easily. But, out of Nelson and Cobb, Ill take Cobb. 10 more targets over those 3 weeks, and 2 rushes. So actually 12 more scoring opportunities than Nelson in just 3 weeks. So, hes getting 4 more looks PER GAME than Nelson is. Do the math. Cobb is on pace for 187 scoring opportunities(Targets + rushes). Nelson is pace for 123 targets. And, like I said in my post earlier, the Packers call certain plays for Cobb. Screens, reverses, bubbles, quick slants, etc. Cobb is 1 of the few players in the league that can take a slant or an out route and take it 80 yards to the house. Simply put, the Packers find ways to get him the ball.
Plus, Cobb doesnt have the injury history that Nelson does.

Derp. Eddie Royal is the No. 4 WR through 3 weeks. Should he trade Cameron for him?
Posted on 9/26/13 at 5:47 pm to jimithing11
Are you ever not a douchebag?
Posted on 9/26/13 at 5:48 pm to danslsu
I would want Cobb. He has substantially more targets than Nelson. And with Finley out/terrible, Cobb will take over the middle of the field.
Posted on 9/26/13 at 5:52 pm to KG5989
Targets don't matter if the outcome is still the same. Cobb can catch 10 passes for 70 yards and Nelson can get half the targets and catch 2 balls for a touchdown and out score Cobb.
Unless you play in a points per target league, What's your point?
