On a scale of 1-10, how confident are you with your receivers for the season?

I actually don’t know, someone tell me how to feel: Julio/Jeudy/Cooks/Marvin Jones/Corey Davis Edit: forgot about Gage

Personally I think Brandin Cooks is a massive sleeper this year. I couldn't get him myself so this isn't a circle jerk. He's the undeniable #1 on a poor offense, but it's a poor offense only because of the QB issue. Cooks is still going to get open and still be a consistent target. Tyrod is definitely good enough to lean on one WR enough to make them viable in FF and Cooks is the only real person there to fill the role.

Is he? When is the last time Tyrod made any WR fantasy relevant?

Fair counter! I think it's just the eye test and assumption of potential like most picks based on a trade/injury/match-up that makes a player seem to have potential. To me, Tyrod is good enough to put a single WR in the top 25 and the situation he's in helps that possibility.

Plus they’re going to be down a lot this year so a lot of passing in many of their games

For sure. Volume is key and he's going to get it no doubt.

I see this argument a lot but it never really seems to pan out in practice. If you look at the teams with the worst records last season (Jets and Jaguars) they barely had a startable receiver between them. This only seems to work out if the team actually has a competent QB and just a horrendous defense.

I mean a team getting crushed does tend to pass more, but if the team is getting crushed a lot of those passes aren’t getting completed. To me that makes it a wash and anything could happen but you can’t rely on shit

Doesn’t matter if you pass more often if you are not completing them and failing to extend drives

Otoh, I remember in 2015 when Blake Bortles produced nearly 65% of his yardage in the 2nd half of blowouts and Allen Robinson put up 80/1400/14tds.

True, although with hindsight I think we can look back on that as a sign that Allen Robinson is very good at football, rather than he was getting his stats padded by being on a bad team.

A few years ago I had a few seasons where I only drafted Matt Ryan because of this theory. Figured he would always be slinging it and was right lol. But I think you're right... has to be a competent vet with decent weapons and just suffers trying to compensate for a terrible defense.

Being down only helps fantasy value for competent offenses. Bad offenses will not be able to stay on the field and generate fantasy value for anyone.

Don’t forget the sorry state of their RB group

As a Texans fan I 100% agree. Someone HAS to catch the football and Cooks has the talent to make due with the volume he will get. I also like Ingram to get all the goal line work the only question is how much goal line work will there be?

Solid depth, though likely no WR1 in the group. Decent ceiling for the late round guys should help you mix and match each week.

I have a feeling Julio will underwhelm me most weeks, Jeudy will be boom or bust, Cooks will be decent as the only safe option, and Gage grows as a player, but hoping Corey and Marvin will have good chemistry with their rookie QBs and carry me through. Of course, I’ll likely plug and play the 2 wrong players each week anyways

As is tradition, so will I.

I'm curious why people think Julio will underwhelm. With the departure of Corey Davis, Jonnu Smith, and Adam Humphries they have just under 200 targets that were vacated. AJ Brown and Firkser will likely see a bump in targets and Reynolds will get some of those as well, but for a team that doesn't really throw to their RBs that still leaves a lot of targets up for grabs. Tannehill also had one of the lowest attempts per game out of any qualified QB, any movement towards being more pass heavy creates even more targets I think it's reasonable to say that at a maximum 200 targets will go to Titans RBs and TEs, leaving around 300 targets for WRs even if Tannehill doesn't throw the ball more. Even if they use Reynolds a good amount I can't see a situation where Julio doesn't get at least 100 of those targets. Now 100 targets obviously isn't even close to what we are used to seeing for Julio, which is why he is being drafted as a WR2/3, but it definitely is enough to return value week in and week out. The main concern for underwhelming with Julio is lingering injuries but if he's on the field I think he'll produce, he did have a career best catch percentage last year after all

Gage is sitting on the waiver but I don't wanna drop Winston and Juwan until I see them play at least 1 game. Have Terry, Julio, Jeudy, Waddle, Laviska, and Juwan. Would like to have a WR3 that's proven and solid but I'm high on jeudy and waddle. Can see myself using laviska as a trade chip if he starts off well.

I'll second Brandin Cooks being a sleeper. Somebody has to get thrown to in HOU

This looks like a robust RB receiver corps. I like alot of the these guys as either 2nd or 3rd options.

I don’t actually know much about football what’s an RB receiver?

So for not being clear. What I mean is this looks like a receiver corps that was built using the robust RB strategy, which means that you may have loaded up on top RBs before grabbing your wrs.

Ahhhhh gotcha! You are bang on haha, Henry and Kelce and Najee were my first 3 picks (keeper league)

I’ve never seen a Zero WR construction before. Quite a sight to behold

May have bought into the “focus on RB there’s plenty of depth at WR this year” too hard

Well then your RBs should be killer! Best of luck to you! For the record I’m very high on Jeudy this year so this could easily pan out for you

12 team STD with Kelce and Mahomes on the squad… my WRs are DJ Moore, Jeudy, Mike Williams, Pittman Jr, Gabriel Davis, and Jakobi Meyers

I think Marvin, Davis and Gage have great value. Cooks and Julio scare me. Everyone talks about Cooks being the only target and therefore volume upside, but the Texans QB play could be “Darnold w/Gase or worse” bad. Don’t trust him at any value. New offense and soft tissue probables for Julio is my reason for nerves there but he’s obviously a mutant still. Jeudy is fascinating. That QB situation isn’t ideal, but Teddy did support two viable fantasy options last year in Anderson and Moore. The kid has crazy sharpe routes and carries himself like a real pro, but tough to gauge his ceiling with Sutton there and Teddy being super conservative.

This guy goes on r/fantasyfootball for sure with those WR’s

Looks solid for playing matchups, but unless someone (likely Julio) ends up as a WR1, then I think your upside is limited. Fwiw, I usually go with a similar approach of collecting good RBs and then throwing darts at mid/late round WRs. If you find a diamond in the rough (or through the waiver wire), then it's a great strategy.

Shaky. Julio goes down your core is weak. I would look to trade up if cooks Marvin or Davis has a big starts

This is the most boom or bust squad I have seen. All have major upside but pretty mediocre floors. I'd give it a 7 with 9.5 upside

Assuming you have really good RBs with this WR room I would feel pretty good. I think Julio will have a good floor but limited ceiling. Jeudy will get a lot of short targets for him to be a play maker on. I don’t like Cooks, but he is the only receiver in that offense. Marvin Jones could be a sleeper being a vet with a rookie QB and no star WR to outshine him. Corey Davis is my favorite pick here because I know you got him cheap and I really like Zach Wilson (so does Romo) and Corey will be his number one target

WR1 Davante Adams WR2 Robby Anderson WR3 DJ Chark WR4 Curtis Samuel WR5 Elijah Moore I'm at a 5/10

Davante brings you a +5 floor alone homie.

what's the opinion on Robby Anderson

Positive. He just signed a contract to stay in Carolina so they believe in him. He played well last year. The big question is the QB throwing to him.

Robby and Sam Darnold reunion.

Dude I would be stoked to have this lineup are you kidding

Lol this a 8+ easily

9.5 - Tyreek/McLaurin/Evans/Deebo/Smith RBs - not so much.

Similar to mine: Tyreek / AJ Brown / McLaurin / Aiyuk / Mooney / Meyers. Then a random selection of thoughts and prayers at RB.

Ah, you were 8th pick in a 10-man league weren't you?

Jesus Christ you're a wizard. How'd you guess that? Saquon at 8 and Tyreek at 13. McLaurin 28, Kittle 33, Evans 48.

Haha no wizard, I was also 8th pick in a 10-man, making very similar decisions as you. It was certainly a tough spot for us :(

Realistically, you could have a top 5 guy and two top 12 guys if they play to their ceilings. Deebo can be a flex week winner and Smith is all upside. Focus all your waivers on RBs and you could be fine. On the other hand, McClaurin could end up outside the top 15, Evans could cede a ton of work to AB/Godwin/Gio, Deebo could only play 9 quarters all season, and Smith could have a typical rookie WR season, which is still fine for a fifth guy. I think the former is the more likely of the two options, however

I feel great 9/10 : Davante, Diggs, Michael Thomas, jerry Judy, callaway, Bryan Edwards, russel gage and Elijah moore

RB1 is Sermon?

David Montgomery and Gus with mike Davis tevin Coleman and Wayne gal man on my bench

That adams Diggs combo is lethal. Two of the biggest arms main guys.. good job lol

I drafted yesterday, 12th pick standard league and all 11 picks before me were rb. So I said screw it and went with Adams and then Diggs back to back..we will see how it goes

If all 11 picks before you were RBs I personally would have grabbed Hill over Diggs, but either way both are solid options and you have good WRs

I’m really considering dropping Beasley for Gage but I’m also considering not doing that. EDIT: I did it.

I like it gage is the #2 we in a very pass heavy offense with a bad defense. With Ridley drawing CB1 treatment I could see gage getting fed. He looked solid last season to, could definitely take a step with more opportunity

Thanks for the insight that makes me feel better about it

I’d personally much rather have Gage

I went for it, so I’m predicting Beasley’s season will surpass expectations and break records.

I think gage is the most undervalued player in the draft. The guy is #2 on the falcons. He’s gonna feast.

Might be the 3rd when you factor in Pitts

Exactly Ridley put up like 1400yds from that spot last season. I expect a huge tear for Gage

Who are your running backs?

I got Davante, AJ Brown, Juedy, Michael Thomas, Marvin Jones and Jarvis Landry. Hock is my TE and Gibson and Montgomery my RBs. Really happy with how that team turned out

Davante Ridley Thomas Jeudy Moore. I like your taste.

How the fuck did you manage that

Few first round reaches and a run at RB while I stocked up on wr. Felt great snagging diggs at pick 18, insane value

Diggs at 18 is hilarious. What a league.

Very meh, maybe 6.5-7, but I could just be giving myself a hard time. I drafted Lockett, Robinson, Gallup, Landry, Cooks, and Juju

I'd just be worried if Lockett and Robinson get injured or have down seasons, you'll thin out very quickly.

I know, I was involved in a snake draft with 8 teams, with the 7th pick. I didn’t start to pick WRs until later in my draft. Picked Robinson with my 3rd pick and Lockett with my 6th round, and Gallup was my last pick. Whenever it came to be my turn, and I got my first two out of the way, there weren’t that many left that excited me

7/10 Ridley Julio to start with AB, Cooks, Mooney, and Moore on the bench. One of those will return WR2 #’s. Waller is my TE

With Waller as your TE, I'd feel pretty confident overall. You could have done far worse with bench WRs. One of those other four will have a good season.

8/10 I got DK, AJBrown, Godwin, and Juedy in 16 team.

That’s gotta be the best WR room in a 16 teamer. The average team will have 2 WR in the top 32 and instead you have 4 in the top 25 (depending on Jeudy)

I didn't look at it like the last part you said. Thanks for a boosted confidence.

Who do you have at RB? WR are stacked especially for 16 team.

Damn very solid in a 16

9th pick 10man 0.5 ppr 11/10. 1 Adams. 2 Hill. 3 Aj Brown. 8 AB.

AJB at the flex sounds shtuuuupid

Who are your RBs? Shit like this is why I hate 10 team leagues lol

10

10 for my starting pair of Hill & Lamb, about a 2.5 after that with Mike Williams and Hardman...

Ooof PPR league Robby Anderson Corey davis Antonio Brown Michael Pittman Brandon Cooks devante Parker I’m like 5/10 tons of upside but also big downfall too

Now this is a true 0 WR lol

Pittman in a ppr is going to help. He’ll prove his worth. He gets open.

Where stud?

MBC

4/10 Corey Davis, Jacobi meters, Michael Thomas, mecole hardman

Oof

If that’s a 4, what would a 1 be lol. I assume your RBs and TE can hopefully carry you pretty hard though

Bro who you got? Me? Am I on your team? Shit

A 1 might look something like: Marquise Brown Will Fuller Nelson Agholor Jamison Crowder Rondale Moore Bryan Edwards

Ah, the 0WR strat

Corey Davis is going to be better than Jamison Crowder was early last year

Jesus what happened? You better have gotten a load of solid RBs to trade …. Sorry :/

Out of curiosity: How does your team look? Something s' gotta compensate your WRs.

Wtf did you do all draft?

Not even 4!!

You're getting shit on, but assuming you have good RB/TE/QB spots, Davis/Myers could work out to both be WR2s and Thomas could pole-vaunt to a WR1 for the last 11 weeks.

4/10 if you assume MT comes back in week 6 and is immediately a top 6 WR. Otherwise I'd give this a 2/10.

10 - got Adams, Terry, CeeDee, Woods

Bona-fide 10.

8/10 Got Metcalf, Robinson, Sutton, D.Smith and Chase in a 14man League

That's impressive tbh.

Justin jefferson, amari, cooper kupp, jeudy, landry, and AB in a 10 team PPR league. I feel really good about this, probably an 8. I also got CMC Najee and Josh Jacobs so feeling pretty good about that as well

Keenan Allen, McLaurin, Lockett, Deebo and Will Fuller. But Dan Arnold is my TE so messed up somewhere…

10. I got Ridley, Keenan Allen, and Kupp starting. Julio on the bench for trade bait

10

8.5/10 Adams/Ridley/Amari

Bruh that a 10

10

What RBs? That WR core juicy

Rbs?

CEH/Edwards/Hunt/sony and jamaal Williams

Nice

For real? What trio would you give a 10 haha you're looking good!

8.5-9/10 Adams/Ridley, mclaurin In Flex, and a hopeful breakout of Shenault on bench

You got 0 rb or what

Basically. Monty swift and gaskin

Maybe 9.5/10

Perspective: How is your RB / TE corps?

Like 5/10. I’m rolling out Boyd and Kenny G with AB and Gallup off the bench

Tyreek and Adams. I would say I’m pretty confident

10! Adams and Ridley!

Who are your RBs? That’s nice af

6 .5 ppr, OBJ, Godwin, and Woods

6/10. Lamb, lockett, j.chase, b.cooks, mooney and gage.

honestly not sure, feel pretty good but what do y'all think? got Jefferson, Lamb, and Aiyuk also got devonta, deebo, and pittman on the bench

7 and 8 if devonta hits

8 Justin Jefferson, Lamb, Lockett, DJ Moore, Curtis Samuel, Russell Gage. Full ppr.

9 - Adams, Hill, Jones in a 12-team league Edit: lowered to 9 as my RBs are meh

3/10 Godwin and Tyler boyd

6 Dw be happy.

I have Adams, Diggs, ARob, Fuller, and Shenault. So 10 out of 10

For me personally, I'm at a solid 7.5. half PPR league. Ridley/McLaurin/Woods starting every week. Jeudy/Sutton/Amon St Brown on the bench.

Thats a 10 my dude

I’d score that a 9/10

Assuming you didn’t draft Ridley in Rd 1, McLaurin in Rd 2, and Woods in round 3, you got absolutely great value with your picks. 9/10 for value assuming you got a top back option

5 - Julio, Higgins, J. Chase, MBC, Marvin Jones, Reagor

Hopkins, Diontae Johnson, Antonio Brown, Cooks, Mooney and with both Michael Thomas and TY Hilton on IR. I'll give it a 6.5.

8.5 - Diggs, Amari, Julio, Cooks, and Mooney

7/10. Got Tyreek, Higgins, Corey Davis, Marquez Calloway, and Hardman.

8/10 DK, Keenan, Diontae, Jeudy, and Micheal Thomas. Didn’t get one of those mega top tier WRs and the 2/3 turn in 12 team ppr was very confusing for me. Could’ve chosen Arob, Kittle, Justin Jefferson, Terry, and Dmont were kind of the next options available. If I had a redo I’d prolly take Jefferson over Keenan but I’m okay with it. You kind strangers should convince me I made the right choice lol. Really like Diontae and Jeudy for where I got them with great upside. Thomas in my IR spot was just me thinking I might be able to sucker someone into a nice trade like week 4 because it’s Micheal Thomas

7/10 Davante Adams, Cee Dee Lamb, Marquez Callaway/ Michael Thomas.

In my main league it’s Adams, Godwin, Sutton, Chase, Mike Williams. So my confidence is 7/10 I would say.

9, Aj brown, amari cooper, and cupp

8/10 Amari/woods/Higgins/Corey Davis/jakobi

7/10 HPPR Adams,Jefferson,Jeudy,Chark

Julio, Diggs, Devonta Smith, Chase Claypool Feeling good tbh

A solid 3. Woods, Aiyuk, Golladay, Deebo and Sutton. I wanted to go receiver in the 3rd but Antonio Gibson was still available so i was stuck waiting to pick 47 to get Woods. A run on qbs made me take Russel Wilson in the 5th.

9.5/10 10 man half point league WR 1 - Calvin Ridley WR 2 - DK Metcalf Others - Ceede Lamb Brandon Aiyuk Corey Davis Henry Ruggs Then put Rashod Bateman on my IR spot lol Edit: Rbs are Dalvin Cook, Deandre Swift, Trey Sermon, Melvin Gordon, Jamal Williams, and Michael Carter

I'd say about a 9/10: Adams/Diggs/DeVonta Smith/Antonio Brown/Curtis Samuel/Elijah Moore. Kittle at TE, full PPR.

hit it pretty hard. 10 team, took Kelce 1.07. DK, Lamb, DJ Moore, Diontae, Aiyuk, DeVonta, Elijah Moore, Mike Thomas - I think it'll be a 10 by season's end. ...don't ask me about my RBs

Starting: Keenan, Theilen, Robby Anderson, Laviska Bench: Marquise Brown, Pittman Jr, Bryan Edwards I’d say I’m a 8, what y’all think

Def not 8. More like 6.

10- I got Hopkins, Godwin, and aiyuk on flex.

Too confident bro bust city coming your way

You’re probably right.

More confident than I probably should be. Tyreek Hill, Chris Godwin, OBJ, JuJu, Marquise Brown, Michael Thomas. 10 man, PPR.

i‘d say 7-8. i have great starters with aj brown and justin jefferson but after that it‘s only potential upside with antonio brown, michael pittman, mike williams and bryan edwards.

8. Got ridley ceedee and lockett and mr big chest. Wr can be found on waivers too 2 wr and a flex

12man - Thielen and Diontae 12 man - Jeudy and Anderson 10man - Ridley, Scary Terry, and ARob Grades - 8, 7, 10

Probably like an 8. Got Davante, Terry, Diontae and then Mooney, Viska on the bench, Bateman stashed in IR. My RBs though probably a 4. Gibson RB1, Sanders RB2. And then Javonte, Moss, Michel, Carter on the bench gotta hope one of them breaks out.

3. Amari Cooper/Tee Higgins/Chase Claypool/Devonta Smith/Jaylen Waddle

Like a 5 or 6/10. The way the board fell I just didn't really prioritize WR. I'm happy with my team, WR is by far my worst position. In a 12 team league 0.5PPR I have Allen Robinson, Thielen, Juju, Antonio Brown, and Mooney. I'm only starting Robinson and Thielen cause my flex is RB.

Probably an 8 or 9. I got Adams, Robinson, and Corey Davis. People are speaking high on Davis and i believe Robinson has another tremendous year. It simply does not matter who’s throwing him the ball. Nick foles is their number 3 now and Mitch is a back up for the bills and he still had 1300 yards. QUIT PLAYING.

9 - Have got Tyreek Hill, DeAndre Hopkins, Keenan Allen for my 3 starting WRs and Tyler Lockett as my flex

10

7.5 - Hopkins Ridley Woods Aiyuk Cooper

10

10 - Ridley, Mclaurin, Godwin, T. Higgins

8.9 - Diggs / DHop / Godwin / OBJ / CoreyD

6/10 Terry Mclaurin, Diontae Johnson, Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown, Jakobi Meyers

7/10 I have Keenan Allen and Diontae Johnson starting. Aiyuk, Boyd and Rondale Moore on the bench.

12 team ppr 5/10 Allen Robinson, Viska, Marvin Jones Jr, Bryan Edwards, Elijah Moore

5 I have Corey Davis, Kupp, Callaway, Diontae Johnson and DJ Moore.

4/10 Godwin Cooper AB Chark Gage. MT TY ir stash.

Ridley/Lamb. Let’s fucking get it. With Chark Mike Williams and Mooney on the bench. 9/10

8-9/10 In my favorite draft of three I have Jefferson, Metcalf, and Higgins. 10 man PPR with 3 WRs. …Also scored Dalvin Cook so it should be a good time.

Meh. 5/10. 10 team .5 ppr. Woods, Juju, Jeudy, Waddle The upside is there. Stafford could = a killer year for Woods. Hopefully jeudy and waddle breakout. Went heavy on RBs and Kittle in the 3rd

9.5/10 Got to keep Diggs for a 6th, and grabbed Ridley in the second. Reached a bit for Jeudy in the fifth (Broncos fan) and managed to round out the group with Deebo, Thielen, and Mooney.

7/10 Got Dionte Johnson, Kenny G, Woods, Mooney and Davis and Deebo as my Recievers. No big Names but safe Floor players imo

12 team half ppr 3 wr leage, tyreek / Amari / CD Lamb / DJ Moore. Feelin pretty good

5/10 Ceedee, Chase, Callaway, shenault, Waddle, Marshall Jr, Gabe Davis, and Bateman I'm liking Callaway if he can fill that WR2 then I will be happy.

Maybe a 6.5/10? Would like to know what others think Nuk Woods Aiyuk OBJ

7 Obj and aiyuk are on run heavy teams tho. Limits upside and consistency.

I thought I was at a 8/8.5 but after reading everyone else I guess I’ll bump my Ridley/McLaurin/Jeudy down to a 7. Bad bench though. Only have golladay.

Jefferson, Lamb, Aiyuk, Robby Anderson, Boyd, Gage, and Sterling Shepard.. I would give me an 8.5

6th pick 12 team PPR. Grabbed Adams/Hopkins/AJB/Jeudy/Fuller. I am feeling a 10.

10/10 Tyreek, Keenan, Ceedee, DJ Moore, Jeudy

7-10. Got AJ brown, godwin, and lockett as my starters. Got hollywood brown and fuller on the bench. Along with saquon, chubb, brady, and mark andrews as starters. Drafted jk dobbins in the 4th

Sorry about Dobbins :(

8/10 - 10 team, 0 PPR I got DK, CeeDee, Higgins, Jeudy, Will Fuller, and Bryan Edwards

I’m like a 4: DJ Moore, Sutton, Smith-Schuster, Callaway, Mooney, Corey Davis. Depth and hoping for a breakout. Rest of my team I feel great about. Cook/CEH/Mostert/Sermon/Michel Waller Lamar Jax 12 0.5 ppr, 4pt PA TD

I honestly think you could start Corey Davis in your 1 and Sutton in your 2 and have a high floor with high ceiling! (Both are their qbs WR 1s in the offense so will see a lot of targets) What’s you RB situation like?

Yeah - I’m actually pretty high on DJ Moore but that’s my hope re: Davis. Shuster might’ve been a throwaway pick tbh, idk. I just can’t feel great about starting him given target share for Diontae and TD share for Claypool. re: RB - Its in the post. Cook and CEH, with Mostert/Sermon and Michel backups.

Oh dude! You have a great shot at winning your league from Day 1. Now we pray to the Fantasy Gods for health

8.5/10 AJ Brown, ARob, D Johnson

I feel fantastic. My league wouldn’t stop drafting RBs TEs and QBs (super flex) so after I got Kamara at 1.04 I just kept raking in WR value. Diggs, Hopkins, Robinson, Cooper, Aiyuk
