I wanna like Kirk this week but with 4 WR sets, Hopkins coming in, Fitzgerald getting targets, Drake catching, Murray running it's gonna be hard for him to get as many targets as he did last year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

True. With as many 4 wide that AZ runs I'd rather start Scottie Miller if Evans is ruled out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PhilaFanBoy 332 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) I was fairly set on going with Edwards as WR3 in a 14-team league, week 1, but will likely go with Robby Anderson instead. This vid of Jon Gruden talking about the WR core leaves me the impression that either he's hiding his role for Edwards Week 1, or the more obvious, he'll gameplan around his vets early on and slowly incorporate Edwards. Seems too risky to bet on his usage against the Panthers. Should be Waller, Foster Moreau, and Jacobs they use in the RZ.

In a similar position, might have to start him. It's a 14-teamer with short benches. There are a handful of WRs I'd consider swapping him out for, but most will be short-term options. Tempted by Bourne and Parris Campbell. Shenault is still out there, but is just as unknown in week 1. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hangin n wangin 1,708 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I didn't go against my gut with him. I literally had no option because I have Galladay and Sutton. I didn't trust him this game going in. Not because I'm negative on him but literally because it's his first game and people on here were treating him like a God already. Anyway, he did about what i expected before I heard the hype on here. This looks like it's going to be a project. And one I probably win't be willing to wait for if other options on the wire emerge.

PhilaFanBoy 332 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) 3 hours ago, gbill2004 said: It's one game For sure, no doubt. But you had Willie Snead comparing Miles Boykin to Michael Thomas last year, and Derek Carr drawing similarities of Davante Adams and Bryan Edwards this year. And Miles Boykin was looking like a starter in the Ravens offense early on. But while they're talented prospects, both are in run-heavy offense with a number of receiving options in front of them. For Edwards, it appears clear that the offense runs through Josh Jacobs. And then Derek Carr's wide receiver tree is Darren Waller-Henry Ruggs-Hunter Renfrow with Agholor and Edwards competing for that 4th look (as well as Devontae Booker & Jalen Richard). I'm not too optimistic about the situation despite the preseason hype, unless he was injured which I'm not seeing. Maybe I'll hold one more week.

Pretty much where I was, and am. The positive side is that I now have a clear candidate to drop if I can snag someone on the waiver wire. In my other league I have a whole lot of bench players who I don't want to drop (James Robinson, Ruggs, Moss, Gibson) so it's quite nice to have a clear sacrificial lamb available.
