12 team snake, 3rd pick

[SteelersPride]

I like Wright and he should get a boatload of targets this year, but DGB has a chance for future stud-dom.

If he changed his first name to Kevin, he would also have the coolest nickname in the league.

Yes, but we're talking about this year not future. And ppr. U would take dgb over wright?

Truthfully wright 80 catches is big. It's like Edelman or walker with Brady. Standard leage dud, ppr star. Wright was top 20 ppr two years ago, that's starter status

I just think when a WR is shorter than 5'11 you draft by QB... TY Hilton and Antonio Brown are studs because of their QBs(not saying either would not be good with a lesser QB)... But Mariota is too much of an uknown to show any confidence with such a short receiver...

Even TY Hilton is inconsistent week to week, because he is too short to be an endzone threat that he relies too much on the big plays...

I'd take Wright for the targets, the fact that he and Mariota seem to be synching, and the fact that DGB is still a crapshoot.

100% I would DGB over wright... at least as long as they both start on my bench... Might change my tune if I had to start one week one...

Good point.

 

[SteelersPride]

So u would take an unproven non starter over a guy who was top 20? Intruguing

I think you are missing Milk's bit of humor there. They'd both be on his bench.

 

[Chef99]

@SteelersPride , it's kind of a high floor - low ceiling thing with Wright, I think.

 

[SteelersPride]

How is the fact that he was top 20 a year ago mean low ceiling...... I just don't get it, it was a down year last year. But he trended up each year prior. And was a ppr machine, oh he actually starts, and has the best rapport with the new qb. Top 20 means he's a #2 in ppr.

 

[SteelersPride]

I just am missing the logic other than " just don't like him"

 

[SteelersPride]

64 catches as s rookie. Then 94 catches, 94! The a down year when the whole team sucked

 

[MilkSpiller22]

you do realize that even in that season of over 1000 receiving yards he still only had 2 TDs... he has only 12 TDs in his 3 year career... you don't want players that you only rely on the # of catches and yards... they will be too inconsistent week to week, and you will rarely get that 20 point game(1 pt per PPR)...

Hilton finished 6th in receiving yards last year, and that's with missing 1 game, and having zero catches in the final regular season game. He also had the highest avg per catch among the top 10.

Yeah, and Visanthe Shiancoe only had 11 career TD in 6 years before catching 11 TD in 2009.

94 catches? Divide by 16
Roughly 6 points per game rounding up a bit

1000 yards
Divide by 16
Roughly 6 points per game rounding down

So that's 12 points a game right there.....

Not counting variable td?

Since when does anyone average 20 per game

 

[SteelersPride]

How many wr average 6 catches and 60 yards a game just curious

 

[SteelersPride]

Andre Johnson was never a td monster was he a bench player

 

[Chef99]

I don't dislike Wright, and I think the amount of targets are gonna make him worth it. Milk does have a good point about TDs, though.

I look at Kendall Wright and Pierre Garcon to be at the same level.

I agree. I have Wright as my WR4. Obviously I have no plans to start him on a weekly basis, barring injuries. Not sure why Milk is so against Wright not being roster worthy.
