one of the experts on yahoo said nothing about even playing driver this week on the yahoo sit or start video and he went for over 100 yards and a TD. i think he has scored in 4 of his last 5 games and he has a ton of yards. maybe its because of the market? or maybe its because he doesn't try to get extra attention? all i know is that donald driver is a great player and I am sure glad i have him on my fantasy football team because nobody else was willing to pick him even where i live in packer country. sad to say both farve and driver were picked by me only because i like to go with the home team and neither have dissapointed to much

Small market team.
Yeah, and he's not a household name like Bernard Berrian and Muhsin Muhammed and ........? Spare me.
Live it up Ex-Raver. You'll soon be one and done my man.... again.
There's never been a marquee WR in Green Bay in the Favre era. Brooks? Freeman? Maybe Sterling Sharpe for a year. If he was getting fined, jailed, taking too many pills, or caught with a crack pipe he'd be a bigger name by now. Doesn't have a good set of on or off field antics either. Good guys finish last and everyone here's fine with that.

Brett Favre is the answer. Favre has made great receivers out of nobodies in the past. Driver is truly a great receiver, but the Packers haven't really done much the last few years. When the Packers become a contender again, Driver will get his due.

Driver is a legitimate reciever but he's kind of cast into shadows during a transition era for Farve. He'll step into the spotlight a little more in the next couple of years as Farve retires and a new QB comes in.

the reason he's lower than-rated is because each and each and every of the entire gamers contained in the nfl make there call/legend contained in the playoffs. and when you consider that he has little or no play-off journey, he's not common. also, he performs in a branch which could no longer common for its scoring. somewhat, i somewhat cant call him consistent because maximum WR make factors for TDs and he has in problem-free words 7 contained in the purely right seasons.

I agree. Its probably because he plays for the Packers. Although Im a Packer Fan (from Green Bay)...the team sucks this year

It's because he's on a crappy team that no one cares about. He needs to go to a team like the Patriots where he'd still be #1, win more games, and get more spotlight.

He is on the wrong team, he needs to be traded to Pittsburgh
