Where will Travis Fulgham rank in the hierarchy of WRs after this season?

[RememberTheKoy]

The 6th round WR drafted by the Lions, cut, signed to their practice squad, signed to their roster the final 3 weeks of the season but get no catches, cut again by the Lions, signed by the Packers, cut by the Packers, signed by the Eagles, cut by the Eagles, signed to their practice squad and then signed to the full roster for week 4 against the 49ers where he caught the 40 yard go ahead TD pass in the 4th quarter. Since then he has done nothing but make big plays when Wentz has thrown him the football.


In what has now been 5 games with the Eagles in his second year in the league he has 29 rec for 435 yards and 4 TDs. Over the course of the rest of the season that projects out to 75 catches, 1,131 yards and 10 TDs in 13 games.


That would be a really good season for someone who played 16 games. His season over 16 games would have projected out to 93 rec, 1,392 yards and 13 TDs which would then be All Pro WR territory.


It's not unreasonable to suggest the Eagles have potentially a top 10 WR in the NFL in Fulgham. Skill position wise the Eagles offense has a very talented young core of skill position players going forward in Fulgham (26), Reagor (21), Ward (25), Hightower (24), Goedert (25) & Sanders (23).

If the kid had a real QB, he could end up being decent

Does that not make his season more impressive that he is doing this while his QB is playing the worst he has in his life?

Hopefully for Eagles fan, his first couple of seasons weren't a fluke, and the real Wentz isn't here with all the turnovers. And not sure how he played in his life or even in college, they usually don't air Div 2 schools

So we can’t use no weapons as an excuse anymore? I’m sure there will be more excuses made.

is this an odd day or even day?
because on odd days it is a no weapon day. Even days is everyone was a great pick up day!

 

[SteelersPride]

So we're projecting him to an all pro top 10.

For giggles lets say in no order

1. Michael Thomas
2. devante adams
3. hopkins
4. julio
5. metcalf

are 5 definitely ahead of him.....i think thats fair..........

So between

1. keenan allen
2. chris godwin
3. mike evans
4. allen robinsoin
5. stefan diggs
6. calvin ridley
7. amari cooper
8. ceedee lamb
9. Terry mclaurin
10. tyler lockett
11. adam thielen
12. tyreek hill
13. cooper kupp
14. robert woods
15. will fuller
16. AJ brown
17. golladay
18. robbie anderson
19. justin jefferson
20. OBJ

Some he has better "5 game" stats than, some he doesnt........But thats a list of 20.....so projecting out.....its likely? Due to sheer volume and no one else being available for the eagles. Yeah he may hit lofty stats.........but i sure wouldnt put him in top territory. He'd be above all but 4 guys on that list of 20

Doesn't have all his weapons though. Goeder just came back after being out since September with a broken ankle. Reagor just got back too after a broken thumb has also kept him out since September. Miles Sanders is still out though.


Will be nice if we can see them all out there together this year. Maybe also when Lane Johnson gets back move JP to RG, start Mialata at LT and Herbig at LG and they might actually have a decent line to go with it.

Better 5 game stats than everyone in some categories and near the top in others. If anything the Eagles are not targeting him enough and making him enough of a focal point on offense. Pittsburgh is the only game they targeted him early and often and he had a dominant game. All other games they dont really go to him until sometime in the second half of the games. He might be their best offensive skill player.

5 games man. Almost all those have proven history. So give me your list of 16 that your taking him over.

That really isn't something I can answer until after the season. But I'm sure if he continues his path and even possibly improves as the season goes on as you would expect from a young talented player who gains more expierence that he would then be in that top 10 conversation heading into his second year as an actual player.

His first 3 games were against the 49ers, Steelers & Ravens. That's some legit defensive competition to go up against and to produce against.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

To answer the question, he could continue to play well and have a solid season. Him and Wentz seem to have good chemistry. We will see if he draws more coverage as the season goes on and whether he is good enough to overcome that and continue to play well. If he does, good on him. It really doesn't matter all that much anyway.

I mostly agree with this post. It’s hard not too. But it’s a lot of projection. But to wrap up your original post....

“It's not unreasonable to suggest the Eagles have potentially a top 10 WR in the NFL in Fulgham”

It does look like they found a diamond in the rough though. He’s been playing crazy good.


This post and the first don’t match.

Pats had a RB Jonas Gray about 5 years ago that rushed for over 200 yards and 4 scores in a game vs Indy. If he could have maintained that , he would rush for over 3k yards and crazy amount of TD's in a season. He played two more games in NE

Heck if we take justin Jefferson’s last 5 games. He projects over 16 Games to have:

82 catches,1578 yards, 10 tds (I rounded up)
That’s with 2 games under 30 receiving yards!

i would absolutely put fulgham over robbie freakin' anderson. and calvin ridley? when was the last time he finished a game without having to leave due to injury?

i remember that game, i think it was on Sunday night. I remember thinking this dude was going to be NE's new all-purpose back and would be a star, and then *poof*, he vanished into thin air...apparently he had discipline issues with getting to practice and/or meetings on time or something? clearly, that put him the doghouse right away.

Umm. Have you actually watched either play ? Or checked robbies stats this year since getting out of New York?

Calvin Ridley is having good season and stat wise is ahead of Fulham.
