With no clear-cut answer as I see it.Almost everyone here seems to think he's a lock for 1000+ yds and 10+ TDs, with some a good bit more (discounting man-love projections). Most likely he will be at least close, but I wouldn't count on either. He posted a 3-yr low in receps last year - was it just because Rivers was still learning or-? Hard to say but my expectations are a little more tempered.I think a lot of people avoid him because of cost (speaking literally ie auctions), but given even a 950/10 kinda projection, with a possibility of more, those extra few bucks may well be worth it.
You've got him at 190 points. Only two wide receivers scored more last season (Harrison,Owens). If he scores that much he's worth a first round pick.![[icon]](/data/avatars/m/5/5167.jpg?1660313464){kind=avatar}
