Bifflog Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint continues to be the most interesting UDFA to me, but here's one for the negative column in terms of outlook. @FrFan posted an interesting advanced metric in another thread (YPRR, or yards per route run), and it applies here: https://www.si.com/si-fantasy/rookie-wide-receivers-bust-avoid-drafting-fantasy-yards-per-route-run-analytic-trend-01hxh4bjsbnm 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapsSkins Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 My guess for WR room this year is: McLaurin, Dotson, Crowder, Zaccheaus, McCaffrey, Rosemy-Jacksaint 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Crowder and Zaccheus both being established veteran slots (to differing degrees), if McCaffrey starts getting snaps with the starters we’ll know we have a real gem on our hands. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent replacement level slot guy with a high water mark of 40/550/3 for the Falcons two years ago. Nothing special and more of a possession compiler but he’s a pro. The kind of guy you make a guy like McCaffrey beat out on his way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSU boy too....still only 28 and has had some success in the league. Wonder if he's damaged goods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t even know they were on this team. Definitely a low profile signing but he’s a guy who can eat slot targets if necessary (hopefully only due to injury). I only know who he is because I play in deeper PPR dynasty FF leagues and he was owned everywhere his first few years with the Falcons as a sleeper. I actually would have bet his best season was more than 40 catches but nope. Like I said, replacement level but serviceable. Definitely not a household name.

So that sounds like 3 slot guys and 3 outside receivers? Or is there some position flex there? Tinsley is my wildcard. Of course, while he impressed some people in camp last year, he got a grand total of 3 offensive snaps… so not exactly expecting much there. Perhaps this staff is able to coach up Dyami… Back to the thread topic though, reliable hands, high end blocking and (most importantly) ST play is how you make the team on the back end. Does seem like MRJ might have an inside track… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Our WR room blows big time. Possibly league worst. Samuels was close to being the best one last year and he's gone. TMac is legit, but that's it. Dotson sucked big time last year. He's not cemented in as WR2. Any and every WR in camp has a shot at being a starter. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we go with 6 it’s possible we’re a little overloaded on slot guys, yeah. I bet the hope will be that McCaffrey has the ability to play outside eventually.

Conn Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 The other thing to remember is that Ekeler is going to be the honorary 7th or 8th guy in the WR room (except, on the field a ton), for all intents and purposes.

Dotson’s an easy person to root for, but as a player, it’s mostly about his td totals his rookie year. Poor separation numbers, lackluster production and big time drops last year certainly diminished my expectations for him going forward. Would have been nice to land a guy that could legitimately compete with him. Hopefully someone unexpected steps up in a big way to challenge/push Dotson, or Dotson shows major strides this year. To be fair to him, last year was tough on virtually everyone on the team. 27 minutes ago, Conn said: I think it’s possible we keep a 7th WR but I would expect a lot of 2TE sets, as well as Sinnott being used all over (eventually).

Yeah, I’ve been arguing that McCaffrey may well be able to play on the outside at some point in the future (if need be), but until that happens (if it does), only going with 3 outside guys is pretty questionable. That 3rd guy being a rookie that ran an 4.8 is even more questionable. Wonder if we see either Crowder or Zaccheus land on the PS instead. I agree though that our TEs and backs will likely take on a significant portion of the load. Similar to how I feel about Butler at S, maybe things will click with Dyami in his 3rd season and with better coaching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMac should be able to get behind defenders pretty easily. Dotson, too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
