Doucet should step into the WR2 role as I feel he is better suited for it than Breaston.

I agree. Doucet is a much more similar player to Boldin, and I think he will take his spot. However, there has to be a QB to get him the ball...
Start: 2 QB, 3 RB, 5 WR, 2 TE (All TDs=6, 1 per 10 rush/rec, 1 per 25 pass, NO PPR) 8 teams
QB: Rodgers, Vick, Cutler, Schaub, Luck
RB: Rice, CJ, McFadden, Richardson, Stewart, Ingram, Spiller, Vereen
WR: Green, Marshall, Roddy, Jennings, Roddy, Bowe, Maclin, Britt, A Brown, Williams (TB), Collie, Smith (STL)
TE: Graham, Finley, F Davis, Cook
Taxi Squad: Tebow, Crabtree, Jeffrey, Hill, Gordon

Precisely my friend. The jury is still out on that whole situation.

Take away a Hall of Fame quarterback who can really sling the ball (Warner) with Fitz drawing double-teams and rolled coverages on the other side and replace that with Joe Flacco and Mark Clayton and he moves up in the rankings? I don't get it, Skip.


Allow me to expand upon my perception regarding the Boldin trade:

And on top of that, injury-prone receivers don't usually get healthier as they turn 30, do they? :shock:

And, I haven't even mentioned the fact that Boldin is now playing in the AFC North instead of the NFC West. As much as I love my Seahawks, the NFC West is widely regarded as one of, if not THE worst divisions in football. Instead of playing the Rams, Seahawks, and Niners Boldin now faces the Steelers, Bengals, and well...the Browns. :lol: Boldin arguably left the best situation he could possibly be in of all the teams in the NFL: passing team, HoF QB, weak division, and an elite WR playing opposite him and drawing the opponents' #1 Corner. I don't think his situation improved in the slightest. To me, this change of scenery is more similar to if Boldin went to the Jets.

My previous ranking was assuming Leinart was at the helm, not Warner. I don't have my dynasty QB rankings up just yet, but Flacco will be plenty high enough.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.
