Best WR (It's not OBJ) - Page 3 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Well, sure, but "didn't live up to high expectations" and "is a bust" don't necessarily overlap.

Like, if he becomes Brandon Lloyd it would be pretty silly to call him a bust.

bust is always relative to expectations. Ryan Leaf would not be a bust if he was picked up as an UDFA and just didn't work out. A guy who is supposed to be a top tier WR1 can easily be a bust if they become a high end WR3. If a QB is the #1 overall pick and becomes Sam Bradford then he is a bust (and is rightly categorized as such). If Tom Brady became Sam Bradford then he would not be a bust. With the hype OBJ is getting he has more bust potential in this context than the other guys in that list imo.

And the others.

ya, that OBJ and that Odell guy are both sick

in all honesty, i listened to some of the early hype round here about OBJ, picked him up in fantasy. thought another move down the road was more EV so dropped him pretty quickly. wish i saw into the future, dude is making some noise in his time back

Mike Evans has been riding the pine in my fantasy league for a guy for the last 4 weeks

, he has Maclin and D thomas though and played R Mathews in the flex this week, kind of sick

Yup, can't wait to watch Colston come up with even more ways to drop balls with extra targets.

VJax is going on two years in a row of Bottom 5 drop rates among qualified WRs

I don't think the criteria for that list is all that great. If you have watched Randle "play" WR, he has dropped a lot more than one pass...

I think OBJ/Evans/Watkins are in their own tier with Benjamin the next lower tier and everyone else below him.

I was very impressed with OBJ yesterday, have yet to watch Evans play live because he's on the clown car that is the Tampa Bay Buccanneers.

I'm not sure who Freddie Martino is, but if the Panthers want to give us Kelvin for him then I'd be cool with that.

A better version of a guy who regularly put up 1300/8 would be amazing.

No way. We had Beckham as a top-10 prospect. This isn't hindsight. He's played as well, maybe even better, than we expected he would.

Haven't seen much of Evans. I get the impression he's just sick all-around. Is he particularly good at any one thing (jumpballs, getting open, vertical speed etc)

I haven't watched much of Evans this year but in college he was a tremendous deep threat (who was really in tune with Manziel's improvisations) and he's just so goddamn big that he's basically always open.

Evans is the complete package and has already shown to be very good at all those things. Don't know of any weaknesses in his game.

Yeah I'm basically fine with 1. Evans. Lack of weaknesses seem to set him apart.

It's not necessarily a weakness, but Evans' hands aren't anything special. He catches the ball with his body a bit, too. That is what I think separates ODB and Watkins from him.

It's too bad Watkins isn't actually as tall as he measured at the Combine and ODB's BMI is so low, because those will prevent them from ever becoming productive receivers.

yeah, had this discussion with my friend today, basically Evans will always be open because of his size which is why I think he's as much of a lock for great wr you can have in this draft.
