Burleson question for Seattle fans (1 Viewer)

[nola]

yeah, I know he sucks. But my league gives points on return yardage. Seeking info from people who watched the game.

The team depth chart still lists him as the #1 kick returner. He didn't return a kickoff last week. Was he back there at all?

Thanks.

I don't think he was in for KR, though I just erased the game so i can't go back and check (didn't feel like vomiting again). I think it was Josh Wilson and Alvin Pearman, although all but one or two kicks were touchbacks anyways (and 1 of those was a squib at the end) and I only remember Wilson's name called. Rackers was booting them 8 yards deep into the end zone. With Hackett's injury and Obumanu dinged (WR4 now) they may be saving him simply for PRs only since rookie Courtney Taylor is their WR4 until Obu's hammy is a go, which will probably be this week. Still, they drafted Wilson for KRs and need Nate at WR2 at least until Hackett gets back so I doubt he goes in at KR. And he doesn't suck anymore, his play is vastly improved over last year.

As a small hijack, how do homers see the pecking order with Hackett out?

Is Engram once again under the radar with some value?

There are a couple of threads about it if you do a quick search. But basically the feeling is that Engram's only value is in ppr league as he is rarely targetted in the red zone and isn't a home run threat, whereas Burleson has speed and more dangerous routes, plus PR TD possibilities.
