Should I pick up DJ Hackett?

Question

He was just dropped and my WR are Roy Williams, Lee Evans, Reggie Williams, and Patrick Crayton.

Answer 1

A bit of a risk for a couple reasons.  Jakes' coming back from injury, so you're hoping he'll be the guy throwing the ball but not certain.  Secondly, Carolina signed Muhammed this offseason too.  You know Steve Smith is getting a lot of catches, so that leaves Hackett and Muhammed to fight it out for the rest. Plus, with Carolina drafting Stewart they're going to run more this year...

Answer 2

Yeah he will be the #2 WR opposite of Steve Smith. He could have a very nice season as long as he stays healthy.

However i wouldn't drop any of your current Wr's

Answer 3

I wouldn't drop any of your WR's for Hackett

Answer 4

your WRs are mediocre across the board, and shaky as a collective group. if it were me, it would be worth the gamble of dropping R. Williams for him. Evans was not good (or consistent) enough to finish last season on a roster, let alone begin this season as a fantasy starter. Crayton has value based on his team and the attention Owens gets. i say snag Hackett and dump Williams. and if you can find a way to unload Evans, you'll save yourself some frustration.
