Why does Coates get no love?

He was dropped in my league, so I picked him up. But I also have Eli , I'm hoping one of them hit.

Looks like the MSM national outlets have jumped on the Coates bandwagon. So you Sammie owners got that going for you.

Rogers role doesn't change with Wheaton out. He was the starting slot receiver regardless. Coates should see a bump because what can DHB do except run 9s and drop balls? They're the outside guys.

I own Coates a few places and pulling for him but even with Wheaton out I think he might be splitting snaps with hands of stone.
I'm debating starting Eli over Mike Wallace in ppr dynasty league and as crazy as this sounds, since I just took him in 6th round last night and Eli in 17th round of same draft but I'm seriously mulling over starting Eli over Delanie Walker in a FFPC premium TE league. Considering, probably will not have confidence, but I see that Titans vs Vikings game as being a huge rushing based attack for both teams, easily the least pass attempts of any game this week.

Coates is the Mike Wallace and Martavis Bryant role. Rogers in the slot is relatively new weapon for the offense. Big Ben and Todd Haley have never had a slot receiver the caliber of Eli Rogers. I am calling it now: Eli Rogers will be the Wes Welker equivalent for the Steelers.

That's pretty bold - WW had five seasons of 100 receptions & 1K.
If Rogers hits Welkers production from his last season in Miami (67-687-1) then he'll have far exceeded expectations IMO.

This. I picked him up a few days ago as a bench stash. But no way am I trusting him in my lineup this week.absolutely no one!!!

This is where I am...no way I am starting him week 1 but very curious to see what he is all about and how he fits/gets used in a good offense that currently has some moving parts...
I'm in a 16-team, 3 WR league and he's still the last guy on my bench. No way I'd start him this week. But I'm definitely intrigued.
Btw, for those slagging DHB, well, you're right that he sucks. But when Martavis was out at the beginning of last year he was the pretty clear WR2. I'm not saying he'll be useful in fantasy. But he may kill other WRs' usefulness.

No one, he's my WR6 behind Julio, Marshall, Floyd, Hurns and M Thomas. But he could be a nice injury and bye-week replacement.

This.
I have him on the bench in two leagues. Could start him over wallace in one league where i picked him up as brown insurance and not lose sleep over it, but in the other he's behind Crabtree.
Ah screw it, starting Eli (along with brown) over wallace.
