Given ODB's injury history, he's almost like drafting a WR1.

I think that ship has passed.

One of my favorite players, but the numbers aren’t what they used to be. His catch percentage is 10% lower in Cleveland than it was in Miami.

Fewest Y/G of his career was last year. Fewest receptions. Fewest first downs. Fewest TDs of his career. And Fewest yards since his rookie year.

And that was with Beckham missing more games than he played.

 

[broncosmitty]

I still like him just fine as a 4th receiver. Or even a third. Don’t get me wrong.

I’ll be starting him most every week in several dynasties.

Nice 4th WR though!

Oh hell yeah.


Great option at that value. If last year is his floor(second lowest fantasy output, after his rookie year) you still are getting a top 30-40 receiver.

But he had his highest Y/G just two years ago and that was with OBJ healthy. He can be a WR1 for CLE, more like a WR3 for ff. Crazy thing is he might benefit even MORE with OBJ healthy. He is still only 29. Get that TD total up and he will be fine.

OBJ on the field should be a help for everyone on that offense.

Landry fan here, trying to not be biased in my thoughts:

Either the system or Baker (not sure which or maybe a bit of both?) limit the fantasy upside of CLE receiving options. @Shanemansj13 nailed it with "CLE WR1, but WR3 for fantasy" I'll say WR2/3 since I think both Landry and Odell could finish within the top 25 if Baker airs it out a bit more, but that's just splitting hairs.

I still view Landry as one of the many WR2/3 types that will never win you a week, but shouldn't lose you one either for fantasy. In PPR, I love slot guys that catch 5-6 for 60-80yds as depth behind a stud WR. The games they get TDs start to push them up towards a 20pt week. Again, not gonna win it for you, but damn that's nice pts from a depth/flex piece.

Regarding last year being a down season, I'm pretty sure Landry had core muscle surgery in the offseason, and took forever to get going. I remember being excited for Odell's chances of actually dominating target share to start the season, only to be injured himself <facepalm>

Landry was on a run-first/defensive minded team, recovering from surgery, then immediately garnered top coverage as the biggest WR threat on the team...I def agree with the sentiment that Odell and Landry both being healthy should greatly improve Landry's efficiency, and it was pretty evident last year that Odell being out didn't increase Landry's targets. His recovery could have played into low target totals early on as well, since he only avg around 4/game in the first half of the year, finishing around 7/game at the end of the year (which includes the game against the Titans where he celebrated on the bench the entire 2nd half)

Also, the first half like you mentioned he was still trying to recover from that injury. I don't believe he was truly healthy until about halfway through the season. I like Jarvis, he is a tough SOB and a great blocking WR. You do mention a great point about just being consistent. He isn't winning you a week but he is a great player for depth and even just a consistent guy at WR3/Flex. I expect his numbers to be close to his 2019 numbers if not somewhere in between 19 and 20 numbers.

I should of had Antonio in the lineup,dang.

 

[averagejoe]

Well, that is the problem.

The divisions are wrong.

Divisions should reflect the draft slots as Joe posted.

They were never adjusted from ESPN default.

I feel i should apologize, i did not check ESPN to see if the divisions were aligned which would impact the schedule. Sorry Harold.

I saw that i was playing Bar in my first week so i figured all was good.

It was my fault Joe.

This shows how dumb i am... i thought BK was BarilKo.
Man, this "getting old" stuff is terrible.

It looks like I finally might have two start worthy RB's for the time being in Tony Pollard and Chuba Hubbard.

That’s a relief I bet.

 

[Robotech]

That’s a relief I bet.

Made two mistakes in our draft. I'm used to 10 team leagues in fantasy football and didn't realize how fast RB's would go in our 12 team. And because we're in ESPN, I assumed it was PPR. LOL.
