Tyler Boyd and Corey Coleman

I drafted both of these guys in the later rounds.

 

I can't decide if either guy put up numbers this year. With Boyd, he is going to be behind AJ Green for targets/go to guy.

 

For Coleman, he could be potentially pretty good but only if Josh Gordon doesn't come back.

 

Anyhow, I wanted to see if anyone else is drafting these guys and what are you expectations of them???

Two completely different WRs. Boyd is a lower-ceiling / higher floor type because of his route running and role in the CIN offense. You'll need to be patient with him. His targets will change as the season goes on, especially if Eifert bounces back.

 

Coleman is going to be boom or bust, Gordon or no Gordon. I wouldn't want to rely on him unless he looks terrific in the first few weeks before Gordon's return -and- if he still gets a good number of targets with Gordon back.

I am having a hard time drafting this year's crop of WR. I think the crazy status that OBJ, Cooks, Robinson, Hurns, etc...have thrown out there has skewed people's perception of how a rookie WR will perform. Historically, there haven't been many regular ff rookie wr starters, with exceptions of course like Moss and a few others, who I can't think of off the top of my head. The game has changed of course, with rules in place that favor the WR now, which helps young receivers. Yes, there are great games, but consistently good performers to be able to plug and play seems pretty rare. Maybe I just don't know too much about each of them, but they all seem to have drawbacks. Picking which games this year's rookies will have a good game is anyone's guess. So I have been staying away for the most part, except in best ball leagues. Any thoughts?

the rarity of Evans or Beckham is true

 

In 2014, 6 rookies were in the top 32 receivers: Beckham was 7th, Evans was 13th, Kelvin Benjamin was 16th, Jordan Matthews was 25th, Sammy Watkins was 27th, and Jarvis Landry was 31st. Most elite receivers now play in college programs that have a pro style offense. It no longer necessarily takes until year 2 or year 3 for a receiver to blossom.

That is good info, I guess I just haven't seen enough of any of them to get too excited. Remember that OBJ didn't take off until four games in or so after he came back from hammy. Gonna keep an eye out of course, but rather take a VJack or Garcon late to fill gaps until I see someone take off and hope I can snag them off the waiver in smaller leagues.
