Cameron Meredith - WR - NE Patriots (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter SaintsInDome2006
- Start date
Will be a slow start to the season as the targets after Thomas are sorted out but I do think Meredith comes out on top. Ginn is solid but always having him on the field won’t do as much as having Meredith or smith. As a Meredith owner I’m hoping he pulls away but everyone will probably be involved enough we’re it won’t matter

Feeling a lot of this, but still predicting Tre'Quan's Smith's targets to end up -- assuming everyone's available for 16 games -- being more than either Ginn's or Meredith's. Meredith had a nice half last night, but he is still behind in preparation -- I doubt he has all the playbook down just yet. It's coming though.Bfrahm3 said:
Like Michael Thomas, it's now apparent that Sean Payton is willing to use Meredith in the slot, too. That will help Meredith get on the field once he's caught up.
Ginn is the one whose fantasy production will suffer most compared to 2017. His real-life value to the Saints is still high, but locker-room leadership and smarts don't pay the bills in FFB.

Carr is the starting slot WR:" https://saintswire.usatoday.com/2018/09/09/report-slot-receiver-austin-carr-to-start-vs-bucs/
So maybe. Smith is said to be a good blocker - but he also had a great presseason catching the ball. I guess he's competing with Ginn for playing time.

While I just added Smith 1st, I would think it has to benefit both.
Actually thinking about adding Cam as well just to see how it shakes out but I’m having a hard time dropping Fitz. Cam had 5 for 71 last game with Ginn out.

I know the rush is to Smith and yeah he could very well generate a lot of heat on the field, but Meredith will have his games IMO. He runs the seam beautifully and Brees loves that route a ton.

Yea I have one spot that I could give up (would have to drop Jermaine Kearse) and both Meredith and Smith are available. I think it's a crapshoot at this point between those two.

Droppable. I got lucky in my dyno and was able to trade this guy high to a Saints homer before the season started.

What a wasted season. Seems like he just never got healthy enough to make a difference. He’s got the makings of a great wth roster stash for dynasty leagues that have IR/long benches.

it's a tough call, i think. Thomas just gets so many targets. Adding a legit catching TE like Cook only hurts Meredith's opportunities. I don't have much confidence in TreQuan right now, much less Kirkwood and the rest of corps. TreQuan didn't seem ready and didn't synch with Brees. Meredith might not have the 4.4 speed after injury and ####ty recovery. I'd like to see what he can do though...wgoldsph said:

Trequan was a rookie. He had a tall order trying to fit into that offense. If Meredith is healthy, that allows him to line up outside and run Thomas out of the slot where he is unstoppable. That could provide Meredith what he needs to re-establish himself. Great guy to have at the end of your bench just in case he is healthy and fits into that O.

Unfortunately, I think he will never get back up to his 16 numbers. That injury really set him back and could have been a career ender if he weren't "lucky" enough to avoid substantial structural damage.
But it is possible for him to get back up there again. This year was his comeback season, so he'll likely be stronger next season, but I think Tre'Quan and Kirkwood get more chances next season, and I think the Saints draft a WR or sign someone else, a la Dez Bryant again. The Saints brought in Jared Cook too, and now Kamara will likely get a bigger share of the RB work, so that will cut into the chances for Meredith.
It's really an unfortunate story. I liked Meredith more than Robby Anderson and possible even Tyrell Wiliams, but the massive injury he had set him back big time. He had worked his tail off to get the opportunity that he was afforded in Chicago, and once he got injured, he had to start from scratch again. Unfortunately, that's typically how it works if you went undrafted.

Seems as if he is one of those cases that just isn't healing very well.

Yeah, his career sounds over.
