Which is the better backup WR for my fantasy football team?

Question

Derrick Mason or Lee Evans? Mason is rated higher in the SI fantasy line up, but Evans has produced good numbers in the past.

Also....how do you think Antwaan Randle-El will do this year in the fantacy line up?

Mike Jones....no I didn't pick him, I was just curious to know what anyone else thought about his move. I think he will still be a strong fantasy player.

Answer 1

I have them ranked #25 and #26, so obviously I don't see much of a difference. But I agree with the others and lean toward Mason (because of McNair). We don't know for sure who will be QB in BUF - Holcomb could begood for Evans, we'll see.

I don't know what to make of Randle El. He could be a better QB than Brunell at this point. But with Moss already the #1 target, and the addition of Lloyd, I wouldn't put much stock in him.

Answer 2

This could be Lee Evans breakout year. But then again, we don't even know who the Bills QB is. The Bills O-Line is bad, but yet, he may just have better fantasy numbers than Mason. If u want secruity, pick Mason because he got Steve McNair throwing to him. If u can pick both, that's good. Also Randle El is the 3rd WR in Washington, so he'll be a bust this year. If u picked him in the draft, then the rest of the ppl in ur league must be thinking u r an easy target.

Answer 3

SO permit me get this instantly, you picked Tom Brady 4th total alternatively of having an elite RB? You might have (mostly) had Joseph Addai or Steven Jackson, who this season will likely be far more priceless then any QB, adding brady. Brady is just a well choose seventh total or later, (if even then), as soon as you're beyond the top of the line backs and into the RBBC's. From what I'm seeing to your directory, you went QB- WR- WR together with your first three choices. Which by some means left you with Maroney in Round four. A well significance choose. You have got to be in a small league. Thomas Jones and Willie parker are the identical man this 12 months, with Jones mostly finishing up having extra significance as soon as mendenhall begins poaching all of Parker's TDs. You took a kicker within the eighth circular? are you insane? A kicker is your final choose, or close you final choose, via giving up your eighth circular choose to a kicker, you mostly misplaced out on a well broad receiver or strolling again. it breaks down like this, fine QB, fine WR's besides WR3, well TE, well safeguard. RBs are under natural. Your intensity is tremendously questionable far and wide however TE and QB. I'd advise performing some mock drafts and determining a greater technique. Team will get a 6/10

Answer 4

I would have to go with SI on this one and to go with Mason on this one. Lee Evans is finally the #1 reciever (former #1 reciever Eric Moulds is in Houston) in Buffalo but much of his production comes from his quarterback, J.P. Losman, who failed in his first full season as the starting QB last season. Evans has great skills to become a deep threat at reciever but Losman is the key to Evans success or failure this upcoming season. Although Mason is older and plays in a heavy-defense team, he is the safer choice. One reason is Steve McNair. McNair and Mason always had a great chemistry back in Tennesse, where McNair was an MVP and Mason was one of the best recievers around. Mason did post decent stats with Kyle Boller as QB last season but McNair is an upgrade. I'm not saying that McNair will return in his old form, but he is a reliable QB (barring injuries) and Mason will post decent stats, even with fellow WR Mark Clayton lining up with Mason.

Answer 5

This season I think your best bet will be Derrick Mason. I personally think Evans is a more talented player but strictly from a fantasy perspective, Mason should enjoy a better season because Steve McNair will be throwing him the ball now.

The Bills QB, JP Losman, is among the worst in the league.

Answer 6

Mason will squash Evans like a little bug. Mason has McNair throwing the ball now. Yes, McNair will beat out Boller for the starting job there... shocker, i know. We don't even know who is going to be throwing the ball to Evans! Losman is not that good, nor is that o-line. I'd stay away from anyone in Buffalo if you are looking for a good team

Answer 7

I am surprised that although most people feel they are relatively equal, Mason should be the choice.

I call B.S.

When you have two people nearly identical in value...and one is an aging vet and the other an up-and-coming star...ALWAYS go for the guy with upside. There will be plenty of has-been WRs lying around, but someone who knows what they're doing will DEFINITELY snatch up Evans as the first WR off their bench if at all possible.

Answer 8

Go with Mason, but keep a close eyes on Evans to see what he does. Baltimore has the more proven QB, but Evans has potential ad nauseum. If you can get both, but start Mason and watch Evans carefully

Answer 9

Randel El is not a fantasy factor.....
I like Mason since he is reunited with Mcnair.
But Evans is a third year receiver...so this is generally the breakout season for WRs.

Answer 10

Lee Evans because he is the one with more potential plus he put up better numbers then mason last year.
