SecondString Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Anything to see here? Second rounder out of LSU, he is now second only to Wallace in receptions for Miami, had a mini-breakout Sunday with his first TD vs. the Packers, and his playing time and targets should continue to increase. I'm thinking with the lack of receiving talent on that roster, he could be primed for a nice workload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bturner2 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 He is my top waiver priority for the week. Going to drop Hartline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Would temper expectations with Tannehill at QB then him competing with the likes of Hartline and Gibson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecondString Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Would temper expectations with Tannehill at QB then him competing with the likes of Hartline and Gibson. Has two less targets than Hartline for the year, and twice as many as Gibson, despite only having one target in week 1. His stock is rising, but you're right about Tannehill limiting his ceiling. Not worried about the competition there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Not sure I get the whole "Tannehill will limit him" thing. If anything, a struggling Tannehill is probably more apt to lock on to a crisp route runner in order to move the chains. They have a proven deep threat that keeps safeties honest, so what's not to like about a possession type receiver like Landry? Brian Hartline has completely dropped off the radar in terms of being a guy you could plug in and get decent PPR production out of every week.... common sense would tell you Landry is trending towards being that guy moving forward. At minimum, he's worth a speculative add based on what Hartline has done in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyBromo Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Liked Landry before the season, looks like he is getting a shot now. If he put up strong stats in his first significant action I think the Tannehill limiting him discussion should die down. If anything he will just be a little inconsistent, as all rookie WR are.

Tripleshot Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) I don't think Tannehill or Philbin limits him as much as his name. Think about it. How many successful Jarvises are there out in the world, much less the NFL? There is Jarvis Jones, the Steeler linebacker, but he's currently injured. The only other Jarvis I can think of is Cookie Jarvis of Cookie Crisp cereal commercial fame, but when's the last time you even thought of Cookie Crisp, much less ate a bowl of it. I advise you proceed with caution. Edited October 15, 2014 by Tripleshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Just saying that Rishad Matthews was similar last year leading up to a 2TD game against the Bucs on MNF but then dropped off the radar again. Worth a pickup to monitor how he goes in the next few games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeductiveNun Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I figured he can't be much worse than Wheaton, so I'm rolling the dice on Landry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davesworld23 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Not to mention he is returning kickoffs and is very involved in that offense and I agree there is a big difference between him and Matthews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Not to mention he is returning kickoffs and is very involved in that offense and I agree there is a big difference between him and Matthews Based on him getting both PR and KR duties I just replaced Sankey with him.

'canes2004 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Would temper expectations with Tannehill at QB then him competing with the likes of Hartline and Gibson. He plays the slot. Big and strong with good hands. He won't compete on the outside (Hartline, Wallace) but has been playing Gibson's position (slot). He's getting more looks than Clay and since Tannehill struggles with the deep pass, he does tend to look over the middle quite a bit. I would also be cautious at this point. Lazor does seem to be working him more and more into the starting line up. Worthy of a stash for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorcher Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Yeah my swap was Adams. I have Sankey but i am hoping he will be my 2nd half saviour Did the same thing in a league that gives points for KR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the worst things you can do in FF IMO is try to map out a players outlook based on what another player did. He may well fade away, but Landry has much more talent than Mathews and Hartline as well. It stands to reason that he has a much better shot at being a breakout target than Matthews ever had or will.
