 Ochocinco
I drafted him this year (a later round btw) because I thought that with Brady, maybe he'd be a sleeper pick. Can anyone explain why he'sn't been getting that much attention? I'm actually kinda baffled.

 Re: Ochocinco
NE's system is a timing system. Ocho is an excellent route runner, but if you don't make your cuts a few steps early or a few steps late, the ball is going to be in a different place then you're expecting it to be. Ocho just hasn't had enough time to get it down yet. I think he'll get a bulk of his stats later in the season.

 Re: Ochocinco
First, Brady is going to spread it around. Second, they really seemed to have targeted the TEs thus far. Third, 85 has been slow to grasp the playbook.

 Re: Ochocinco
Njroar is right. Ocho and Brady aren't in sync yet, so he's gonna throw it to the guys he's more comfortable with. Ocho may eventually "get" it, but I still think Welker and Branch will have more catches and yards than he will.

 Re: Ochocinco
Then to add another question. I'd like to take Ocho out of my lineup for this weekend but I'mn't sure who to put in his place. . .
My options Jordy Nelson - GB Torrey Smith - BAL Titus Young - DET
They all have their own respective upsides but they're also all risks because of various reasons.

 Re: Ochocinco
T Smith is a boom or bust guy. Baltimore will use him as a deep threat. Young is a solid pick for consistency IMO as I see him being used more for for several catches with not a lot of yards per catch at the moment. Is this a PPR league? If so I'd go Young and see if Smith get's a few games in a row with good numbers.

 Re: Ochocinco
It is definitely PPR. I also have Calvin Johnson and Roddy White on my roster but as you can imagine, you'd be hard pressed to ever take them outta your lineup.
I was leaning towards Young or Nelson. The thing about Nelson though is that he is part of a WR corps that has a lot of talent and Rodgers is no slouch at spreading the ball around.

 Re: Ochocinco
I don't think you could go wrong with Nelson or Young.
