agree with both. I didn't mention Kearse just because I think I've gone too far with my predictions with him (he's my WR3 in one league - DEEP league).

Although both Hunter and Johnson would suffer from lack of a top QB - Gordon showed that wasn't needed, but it would be really tough to get two Browns WRs and Cam to produce "elite" type stats without an upgrade at QB.
TE:
Cassius Clay could make the leap. More so in PPR. Not Graham type but Olsen/Pitta/Witten level.
Totally off the radar for most, I'd watch out for Taylor Thompson and Brandon Williams.
Oh, and of course, Vance McDonald.
That's pretty bold. I would never think to attribute a WRs elite status to the play of Bradford. I could see this though, if Bradford leans on Patterson like he did Amendola in 2010. Patterson could probably double Amendola's production if given that many targets. Of course Patterson could probably excel just as much with Matt Cassel under center as Bradford.

If the Lions take a WR the front office should be fired by the Fords instantly without hesitation.
Historically, if you have true "elite" talent at RB/WR/TE - and I mean game-changing, build-your-roster-around-it, Hall of Fame talent - it shows up early.
Me too. Pleasantly surprised to see Kearse mentioned too. I'm not sure his ceiling is that high, especially in that offense, but I think he can be pretty good.Agreed!
No, because the Saints will still list him as a TE, and that's what all the hosting sites go off of.
He asked for longshots. Names like Jeffery, Allen, Hopkins, etc. are obvious enough that it didn't deserve a thread.
My reading of his post was that he wanted WRs outside of the obvious choices, and any TEs at all except for Gronk and Graham.
I finally bit on Williams. Not a lot of options outside of Olsen and Benjamin and there's a chance for him to surpass Ed Dickson (only signed to a 1 year/$800k contract) as the #2 TE.
I agree with Jordan Reed and think he should count. Yes, people consider him an average or maybe slightly above average starting TE, but that is far from the elite category.
they also re-signed Pettigrew. doesn't seem like there will be enough balls to go around to the TE spot unless they are going to run a lot of two TE sets ala New England a few years back.
JAG? ...JUST A GUY?....I think given the chance he could be a really good JAG. On film he looks very athletic, has good hands, dominating size. Knock is route running and no blocking...Route running can be taught, blocking meh. Heard Ebron was struggling at minicamp.
I really like these calls. Philly is running a whole different kind of offense that could create some huge fantasy football numbers. I think a lot of the opportunity comes from the offensive scheme. Also, getting a guy to plug into a high powered offense can be big. A guy like Adams could be big in Green Bay if the talent is there and a guy like Cobb or Nelson were to go down with injury. I think Beckham too might have an opportunity. Giants WR have had some pretty good stats over the years.
With Bell and Bush, having just signed Tate, and Calvin hanging around, there are too many receiving threats for any of them other than Calvin to be elite. In time Ebron might be very good, but I'd avoid for the near term except in best ball.
If the Lions thought they had something in Fauria, I highly doubt they draft a TE at pick 10 overall.
They re-signed Pettigrew in March, so everything they did is a little bizarre. I think the narrative is they thought they could get Watkins or maybe Evans, and Ebron was the failsafe. Given the contract, it's pretty possible they cut Pettigrew after 2015. Fauria is probably irrelevant by then, but who knows. If Fauria can block at 90% of the level Pettigrew can, then he could make Pettigrew irrelevant. I doubt that happens, but it is the opportunity. Of course the Eagles gave Casey some money in FA last year and then drafted Ertz, and basically Casey is a blown contract. Not that bad to pay a TE to do nothing.
Coaches are actually talking going 3 TEs in certain GL situations, so maybe they all get a little playing time.
