I just can't plug him in over Fitz, T. Hill or Thielen. But I think he has a good week.

Yeah you absolutely can't trust him just yet. Even cut him in redraft where I was set at the position, though I do like him for dynasty. Let him put up some stats on a somewhat regular basis first before he's anywhere near my lineup.

It's all relative to whomever else is on your roster. His targets so far have been encouraging.

I don't think I'll regret keeping him on the bench although he probably will score more than 1 of my starters. I'm good waiting for confirmation. I'm also talking keeper/dynasty here...

I get taking a shot when your other options are mediocre or unproven themselves. But over Dez or TY or even a banged up Juju like on the previous page - that's a lot of faith that I don't have in him just yet.

Don't think hurns will be back this week

What's impressive to me is they're essentially using Westbrook as a possession receiver & he's excelling. Hard to do as a rookie, much less one that's missed half the season.
Key point is while Westbrook is currently being used to move the chains, he has the ability to take the top off of Ds. Westbrook has great speed & explosion. Also, unlike many speedy WRs, he snatches the ball & has very good hands.
Westbrook has an outstanding all-around game & plays bigger than his 6' 178-pound frame would suggest. I believe we're eventually looking at the Jags' #1 WR & what could be a WR1 in FF.

Might seem odd, but it seems to me like everytime he gets hit he flies like a ragdoll. I'm afraid hes not going to get up one of these times

Nice box score. Anyone watch the game that can chime in on how he looked?

He looked like he did in preseason. Good hands, decent speed, nice body control. I like the way he goes up for the ball.
I honestly have more confidence when they throw to Westbrook than I do when they throw to Marqise Lee.
Dede and Keelan Cole are doing their best to make Hurns and/or Lee expendable next year.
More importantly, the OLine kept a clean pocket and Good Bortles showed up.

this may be good for Dede to get the number 2 corner

i'm nervous since we haven't seen how the jags would use dede with a healthy hurns...

Isn't Hurns a FA? I thought that they were losing both Robinson and Hurns. I believe DeDe is in line to be WR1 next season unless they go do something crazy and bring in a high priced vet

N I'm nervous work cole as well

Hurns signed a 4 year extension last year. He's due to make 8 mil. He could be a cap casualty but they might rework his deal. I doubt he's back at that number.
Lee is a UFA who they will let somebody else overpay. Dede / Cole / Mickens has shown he's expendable.
ARob is a UFA. I think they at least try to keep him.
Interseptopus
Footballguy
That's right. Lee is the UFA. Thanks. Hurns and DeDe would be a good combo next year...

Westbrook is going to be a huge value next year. It's really impressive how quickly Dede has gotten acclimated after missing half the season. Westbrook caused 2 PIs in the end zone in week 15 & had a nice 4-74 on 7 targets this week & may have had a TD if the Jags had challenged the play.
Big-time upside regardless if A-Rob resigns. We could be looking at their top WR as early as the 2018 season.

Not concerned in the least in regards to next season.

because the great college player's skills are translating. Always gotta go with the star power if ya can

Because horns and Cole are better than him. Dede's hype is in front of his reality at this point.
