Alge Crumpler a good value or on the decline?

Alge Crumpler is dropping into the later rounds of every mock draft I have seen on Outlaw. Even in a ppr scoring system he is going alot later than I would have expected. Crumpler put up borderline top 5 numbers at TE catching errant passes from Michael Vick for several seasons. Seems as though he is in a similar situation in Tennessee. No WRs that are worth squat and a mobile QB that you have to spy.

I think he's in a great spot and he's one of my TE targets this year!

I agree, as an 11th round pick (or so), he has real 'sleeper' value. He should have a lot more opportunity then he did with Harrington.

I think he will have a better year then last year but its hard to buy the Tennessee situation. Wasnt Scaife supposed to be huge last year but did nothing? I do believe he is worth the pick in the spot he is going.

Scaife is no where near the talent that Crumpler is. Not even close.

While physically he may be declining in an overall sense you have to like the move to the Titans. As Zee said he had Harrington and assorted QBs throwing recently. ER pointed out that as he is a much better overall talent than Scaife.

Crumpler is Big and Cagy veteran . He knows how to slip through a seam with ease and has tremendous hands to boot. I can just see the openings a mobile Qb will provide to Crumpler now that he has one again.

Young starts moving in Crumplers direction in a scramble. Crumpler is a good enough blocker to seal the end off so Young goes around.

Young starts moving in Crumplers direction in a scramble. Crumpler is experienced enough to know Young won't make the corner. Releases his block and is wide open.

Young starts moving away from Crumpler. Crumpleris probably open in this situation, if not he knows how to get open and just where to go n the field for a mobile QB already.

It just brings a to my face and you can get him that late.

It would be interesting to see how the situation in TEN is compared to ATL.

Vince Young has that tendency to win games, someone's gotta help and Crumpler's the only other playmaker on the squad.

I think the Titans now have 3 playmakers on that offense.

A Veteran in Alge Crumpler
A young star in Vince Young
And a rookie by the name of Chris Johnson

Watch that 2nd video for good footage showing how well that rookie can run through traffic. You can't teach that.

This guy will open up the Titans receiver, and create big opportunities for both Young and Crumpler this year.

Holy crap. I just fell in love with Chris Johnson after that 2nd video. This guy is becoming more and more on my radar.

He definitely has some speed and a good burst. I am not as impressed as MOJO is, I saw a lot of great blocking and big holes opened up by the o-line.


Anyways, back on topic, Crumpler. I agree with Norm, he is in the best situation he has been in in awhile and has great value for where you can get him.

Totally agree on Crumpler. He's bound to return to being among the top fantasy TEs with Young this year. He is the most experienced receiver if not the biggest playmaker they have as a receiver now.

Chris Johnson should tear it up for the Titans as well. I would definitely be looking to snag him late in a draft if I can get him. Depending upon how much they use him, he could have some decent fantasy value this year as a gamebreaking running back and a receiver.

I am all over Johnson this year and agree with 100%. He will be the #1 weapon on that squad this year. i don't feel Crumpler will make major impact but I do feel he is well worth his cost in drafts this year, and I hope he makes a fool out of me. I will grab Johnson with my #4 pick in the rookie draft this year if McFadden, Stewart, and Mendenhall are gone. I will leave Smith and Forte for for picks 5 and 6.

With the quantity of good TE nowadays, you can definitely get Crumpler in a very late round and be well-rewarded. As stated over-and-over again, Young has to start throwing a bit more and TEs always seem to do well around him. Plus, Young has never had a receiver of Crumpler's size or hands, so he should trust him immediately.
