fantasy football! harrison vs chad!?

Question

i have questions on recievers. i have harrison and i want chad johnson.
but then agian id ont wana trade harrison because i know him and peyton hook up.
should i trade? i feel harrison is gona be a let down does any1 agree? and johnson is on the rise. but palmer is iffy because of the knee injury, but he showed poise in the pocket the last preseason game... i need advice. should i trade harrison for johnson? if not who else should i trade for? if at all

Answer 1

I would go with Johnson because he's a far better receiver than Harrison. In the last three seasons Johnson has had more receiving yards, averaged more yards per catch and has drop less catches than Harrison. Johnson is 28, he should have better days ahead and Harrison is 34 and he's likely on the fall or soon will be.

Also you got to remember that for all these years Harrison has had a great QB to throw to him, while Johnson was stuck with nothing to 2004 and Palmer was a rookie than and didn't play in all the games.

Manning is better than Palmer? That's funny because when you compare Palmer's first two years in the NFL with Manning's first 2 years Palmer has a lot better numbers.

Answer 2

Harrison is a great receiver, but he does have to deal with an older body, as well as sharing receptions with Reggie Wayne and the Colts' other receivers.

Chad also has some other good guys to play with at wideout, but he's still the Bengals' best mid-to-deep threat, and he'll get the majority of Palmer's longer passes. And while Carson isn't going to be 100%, he definitely looks ready to play after having seen him this preseason.

Answer 3

That is a very difficult question, its really a toss up and I'll tell you why. Yes Chad is the better young reciever but like manning Carson spreads the ball around, they have a great 2 reciever in Housyamama (cant spell his name) and a great running back. With the loss of Edgerin James are the colts more of a passing team? One must question and with that said that can only help Harrisons numbers. In my eyes, you cant really go wrong with either one. Harrison is getting older but he aint done yet and till I see it I will continue to call him one of the best. He is Peytons favorite.

Answer 4

I think I might lean toward Chad. Harrison is gonna get the catches and yards, but he shares them too much with the other receivers and will not get as many scores. Also, I think Harrison is somewhere around 34 years old. He's still in good shape, but may be on the verge of losing a step or two.

Answer 5

I think they are equals. Both are great receivers, and both teams have other talented receivers. They'll both catch the same number of balls. Peyton has a much closer relationship with Marvin Harrison than Palmer has with Johnson. I think that's a plus.

Answer 6

Chad Johnson baby!
Carson Palmer is gonna rock this year, and Chad Johnson will have a monster year.
I am sick of Indy and I think they are going to slip a little. Indy will realize how important Edgerrin James was to their team.
I don't play fantasy, but I would definataley take Johnson here. Carson Palmer has looked healthy and looks fantastic.

Answer 7

Palmer looked pretty good, the other night. I'd go with Johnson, although Harrison has a better chance of staying out of jail!

Answer 8

harrison. the colts wont have a good running game this year. so that opens up the pass even more so then in previous years. not to mention manning is a better QB then palmer, and will be able to get the ball easier to harrison.

Answer 9

marvin harrison = bird in the hand

He is bank. You can't improve on him unless you get some ridiculously good RB.

Keep in mind that with Edge gone, the colts are going to pass more than last season.

Answer 10

chad johnson.
