College Football Keeper Question

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I get to keep one WR, between Cal's freshman DeSean Jackson (aka rawaction), and sophomores Calvin Johnson og Georgia Tech and Teddy Ginn, Jr. of Ohio State.

 

Calvin and Teddy are already sophomores, so it appears as though I will have DeSean for one more year than the other two. Reggie Ball will be Calvin's QB next year (I haven't thought too much of him these past few years) while the highly-heralded Nate Longshore should start at QB in Berkeley (but Nate only has played 2 quarters of college football). I was disappointed in Ginn fantasy-wise, so I'd prefer Johnson or Jackson.

 

What do you think?

I love Ginn, but would definitely stay away from him. He just is not utilized enough by Tressel in the offense to be a difference maker for your fantasy roster. Also, I wouldn't be surprised to see him playing more as a DB next season as he tries to line himself up to be a top pick taken (Bailey and Chaz Woodson being the last couple "two way" players I can recall being taken. They made their names for themselves on D, and I think Ginn will be utilized more there.)

 

And raisin, you'll only get one season out of whoever you choose: Johnson and Ginn will be first round locks by this time next season (barring miserable injury of course).

Thanks, Mark. Yeah, that's why I'm leaning towards DeSean. Plus I think Longshore is a better QB than Reggie Ball and Marshawn Lynch and all the other options on the Cal offense (plus Cal and Tedford's offensive reputation) can continue to open things up for DeSean.

 

Teddy Ginn would be really smart to start working as a DB next year. That's what he was recruited for and he'll be a top-10 pick for his DB work, not his time at WR.
