So... Terrelle Pryor looks to be the top WW pick this week

Eh,we'll see once Gordon returns.

 

yeah, too many factors working against him - passing/rushing production unlikely to be sustained, not going to see 14 targets when Gordon returns, and even less when Coleman does.

 

When does that happen?

 

week 5

He should be the top waiver wire pick Regis week, no doubt about it. Not because of the running or the quarterbacking, but because he is no longer JUST a deep threat in the passing game (from what I saw against Miami). What his upside is for the rest of the year is anybody's guess, but there should not be anybody better available on your waiver wire right now.

Very entertaining and will probably continue to see some looks at QB as Kessler gets comfortable. I doubt he'd take over at QB, when Kessler got banged up and went to the bench he came in but Whitehurst was warming up on the sideline. And the few times he threw the ball did not look great, one was nearly intercepted but the defender had stone hands.

 

He's rostered in my deep league and was on my opponents bench where his 22 points could have helped a bit.

Any Browns honors? Is Pryor now a must-add?

 

I have #1 waiver priority and need to upgrade at WR badly. Looking at Pryor or Crowder...

 

Is this Pryor's now every-week role?

Not sure. I was surprised he got as many looks at QB as he did. With Coleman out, he got more looks in the passing game. I'd say he's going to be getting at least this volume until Josh Gordon's back in playing shape and Coleman's back in the lineup. Somewhere between 2-6 weeks

Agree with Loaf, he'll continue to get more looks at WR probably for at least 4 weeks, maybe more. Not sure he'll still get that much work at QB, only time will tell. (Hue won't tip his hat, so if you hear him saying he won't play much at QB I'd ignore that.)

 

I was reading an aricle in the Plain Dealer abou the offense that had this which may be relevant

Designing a game plan for three different quarterbacks in three consecutive weeks surely posed challenges, because Robert Griffin III, Josh McCown and Cody Kessler all have different strengths.

But throwing Terrelle Pryor into the mix shows the adaptability of the offense. Jackson took advantage of Pryor's abilities, seemingly pulling plays right out of Jim Tressel's old playbook at Ohio State. The result was a historic performance from Pryor.

It gives defensive coordinators even more to prepare for. When the Browns finally have Pryor, Coleman and Gordon in the game, shifting Pryor to quarterback won't take their best receiver out of play.

What happens if Pryor gets shifted to QB full timewhen Gordon and Coleman are back.. will he remain a wr in Fantasy leagues ?

 

First that won't happen, but if it does he would most likely be moved to QB position. Would depend on each site and some may allow each league to handle it their way.

 

My take, if he's a QB on the team's depth chart, or starts at QB he is no longer a WR.

I try to only use my waiver priority for those special moments, I think Howard is one of those special moments.

As for Pryor, too much can happen with the returns of Gordon and Coleman. The QB situation there isn't good enough to carry 3 weekly useable WR's, plus Barnidge and the Duke Johnson taking looks....

Depends on how your waivers work, if they don't reset every week then holding on to it makes. If they reset every week (ours do) no harm in taking a flyer on somebody, of course that depends on who you are dropping. He was drafted in our league (CLE and OSU homers) otherwise I'm sure he'd have been a top 2-3 WW.
