    Not sure how much speed can improve when you're a grown man, but him being in greats shape, adding explosion off the line, and accelerating into and out of routes would be great news

    Glad I did not trade Allen and Hopkins for Antonio Brown.

    Allen alone would have been too much to give

    One phrase, two words...Not worried. Give me Brown over Allen in PPR.
    2014 predictions

    (3/16) Toby Gerhart will have 1400 total yards and 8TDs
    (3/16) Cobb will outscore Allen in PPR

    Brown is so overrated - Ben had nothing other than Brown hence the volume - Wheaton will prove to be the better athlete and Martavis and Heath will take away the volume - give me Keenan all day, and at 22 you certainly can improve your speed.

    Why is Rivers getting no love? I feel like people aren't taking Green or Allen seriously, two players that can easily revive Rivers' stats back to the Gates days.

    Great call @Smitty. I love Rivers, but my sense is most people here think Rivers is vastly overrated. He had a bad year in 2013. Really bad. He was also sacked a career high 49 times that year. Gates had the plantar thing, the wrs were banged up all year. O-line horrible. That was just a bad football team. Every other year he's produced at a low end QB1 level. Fully expect him to come in back around his average of 4,500 and 30 this year.

    Yea, poor man's starter, but a starter that can easily near the top 6-7 range IMO. Great way to draft a QB very late.

    Perfect example. In the DC dynasty superflex league in Feb I landed him at 7.08. The previous QB taken was Romo at 4.02. He's an incredible value pick to me.

    Agree 100% - Rivers lost LT, Sproles, Jackson, Gates, no QB could function at the top levels losing that firepower. Well it's back, and don't forget, if Danario somehow returns we are talking about a lineup in the top 5 for WR/TE talent. Rivers will do very well in '14 and beyond

    Eddie Royal = secret weapon late round snag. Potential WR3/4 at basement prices.

    He's gotta throw to someone else right? Floyd and Dax are the walking dead. Vincent brown looked very average last yr

    I still think Gates has some fuel left in his tank so I wouldn't downgrade him just yet IMO.
