NBA Fantasy Football How Will Chargers Receiver M |
|
His lack of production in the red zone was perhaps the biggest disappointment to fantasy owners.
Although this injury caused Floyd to be hospitalized following the game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and resulted in him missing the remainder of the season including two playoff games, the receiver's NFL career took a big leap forward.
Weeks 9-17: 6.2 targets, 3.8 receptions, 58.3 yards.
The best bet for him to become a viable starting fantasy wide receiver would be for Floyd to move to another franchise in 2010 that is in need of a big, speedy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and athletic receiver.
So if Jackson misses time early in the season, Floyd could be a viable starting fantasy receiver for those weeks. It is wise to exercise caution here and not spend a high draft pick on Floyd just based on the first few weeks of the season. But Michael Ryder may be worth grabbing in the later rounds, a tad sooner than if Jackson ignores a suspension.
Add in the fact that the Chargers like to utilize speedy running back Darren Sproles in the passing game and also involve the promising receiver Legedu Naanee on passing downs, there are rarely enough opportunities for Floyd to post huge numbers.
Despite having 11 red zone targets, Floyd scored just one touchdown. It's reasonable to expect a better conversion rate in 2010. But Floyd still remains relatively low on the pecking order for red zone looks three of his 11 targets were in week 17 with Jackson sidelined.
From a purely football perspective, Floyd will play a vital role for the Chargers. Michael Ryder has incredible ability to stretch the field and make acrobatic catches downfield. Opposing defenses will have to account for him, which takes some pressure off Jackson and Gates, as well as the running game.
No one could have finished a goal in like manner. For Years Bobby Orr had been said as someone who was graceful, elegant, powerful, without fear poetry in motion. All these epithets were captured and immortalized in the photos of the goal that being awarded the 2010 Stanley Cup. Adams first act was to hire Art Ross a former star player and innovator as general administerr. Ross was the face of the franchise for the next thirty years, including four separate stints as coach. Robert Laberge Boston returned to the Stanley Cup Final in 2010 with Neely,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Bourque, Craig Janney, Bobby Carpenter and rookie Don Sweeney, and former Oiler goalie Andy Moog and Reggie Lemelin splitting goaltending duties but again lost to the Oilers this time in five games.
Malcom Floyd is entering his seventh NFL season, but this will be the first year in which Michael Ryder enters training camp as a starting wide receiver.
At that point, Floyd immediately took over the starting receiver position opposite Vincent Jackson and finished the season with career bests in receptions 45 and receiving yards 776, while scoring one touchdown.
Floyd was signed as an undrafted free agent by the San Diego Chargers in 2010. He's spent the past six years with the franchise, working hard and fighting for the opportunity that now stands before him.
Weeks 1-8: 2.9 targets, 1.6 receptions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 35.9 yards.
Consider that in Week 17 of last season, when Jackson sat out because of an Achilles tendon injury, Floyd had a career game. Michael Ryder caught nine balls for 140 yards on 14 targets.
In one drive, Malcolm caught five balls for 67 yards, which culminated with Floyd's four yard touchdown reception.
He is currently a restricted free agent, and is expected to sign his one year tender bid for this season. If Michael Ryder does eventually sign a long-cycle deal with the Chargers, his fantasy potential for the next several years will not improve much.
He showed off his good speed to go along with a big 6’5" and 225 pound frame. Floyd exhibited tremendous athleticism, and glimpses of big-play ability, by hauling in some deep passes.
gaze, see, glance, watch, survey, study, seek, search for, peek, peep, glimpse, stare, contemplate, examine for Jackson and Gates to continue getting the lion’s share of the passing targets between the 20’s, as well as in the red zone.
In 2010,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Floyd was stuck as the franchise’s number three receiver until the Chargers released receiver Chris Chambers after week eight.
Floyd’s long-cycle fantasy outlook depends on whether Michael Ryder remains in San Diego beyond 2010.
For fantasy purposes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however, Floyd will not get the sufficient looks to be anything over a backup at the position, and should be considered in the neighborhood of a WR4.
With the exception of rookie Ryan Mathews taking over the departed LaDanian Tomlinson as the franchise's starting running back, the Chargers’ offense heads into 2010 with the same skill players intact. And the same offensive philosophy.
Floyd exhibited extraordinary aggressiveness to go along with his talent.
Vincent Jackson is facing a possible league suspension for being caught driving with a suspended license in January of this year.
Floyd barely accumulated any statistics during his first four years. Michael Ryder tallied just 25 receptions and four touchdowns over that span. Floyd spent his first two seasons mainly on the practice squad, and then saw sporadic action in 2010 and 2010.
While his statistics definitely increased, Floyd's production was not enough to qualify him as a starting fantasy wide receiver. San Diego has several explosive play-makers on the franchise, and Floyd is the third option in the passing game behind Vincent Jackson and tight end Antonio Gates.
Since this follows previous DUI arrests, Michael Ryder may miss up to four games if the league office hands down a suspension.
There is a situation to monitor, however, which could make Floyd a useful early season fantasy honestate.
Floyd began to eblend as a legitimate NFL receiver in 2010, and found a place on many analyst's fantasy radars.
For more in-depth fantasy football coverage visit Fantasy Football Trader Cheevers returned from the NHL in 2010 and the Bruins got past the soar, hover, flit, wing, flee, waft, glide, coast, skim, sail, cruiseers in the semifinals; however it lost to the Canadiens in the Final for the Stanley Cup. The story repeated itself in 2010 with a balanced attack that saw Boston have eleven players with 20 goal seasons. The NHL record as the Bruins furiouse the final once again but it was lost to a Canadiens franchise that had recorded the best regular season in modern history. Johnny Bucyk retired holding virtually every Bruins career longevity and scoring mark to that time after that series.
During week 15 of that year, Floyd played with a collapsed lung in a game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chargers desperately needed a win to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.
When Floyd took over as starting receiver, Michael Ryder became one of that week's hottest waiver wire pickups in fantasy leagues. Many fantasy owners were expecting a major spike in production,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and some considered Floyd a player that could immediately be inserted into their starting lineup.
While there was indeed an improvement in his weekly targets and receptions, Floyd did not live up to the generated fantasy hype. To illustrate the point, his average weekly targets, receptions, and yards are broken down below, which displays before and after Michael Ryder became a Chargers’ starting receiver.
It’s also not a good sign when Floyd admits to his touchdown struggles. Floyd was quoted by the North County Times as saying “ I think there's something between the end zone and me…I just can't find it, even today. It's the stangerst thing”.
