Cameron Meredith - WR - NE Patriots (1 Viewer)

Definite hold in dynasty until Jeffrey decides where to sign and we see if Kevin White can stay healthy.  

Redraft is a different story.  Drop him unless you are desperate for a steady 4-7 points a week

 
Meredith is a WR3 for most owners this weekend who made the Finals. Maybe even a WR4/Flex type play.

i like Meredith a lot more this week over guys like JJ Nelson and Taylor Gabriel. Mitchell has been up and down. Meredith has been more than solid 2 weeks in a row for Barkley, seems like a solid choice and play this week weather permitting and I won't be surprised when he has another double digit performance in PPR Leagues. 12-15 seems like a good number for him. Higher is a bonus.

I'm starting him over Sammy Watkins tomorrow, holding on another dynasty team as a future Terrelle Pryor/Juliana Edelman QB-turned-WR. His athleticism is tremendous if he can get an opportunity. Gotta hope that Alshon walks in the offseason. He could be a solid WR2 if he's starting with Kevin White. 

 
I didn't see the game, his stat line was great.  Anyone comment on how he looked?  any info for the future would be appreciated.

He looks good with Barkley or Hoyer. He was a zero with Cutler but he's a goner. If they draft a QB in the 1st round, he will probably go back to a zero because they are not getting Trubisky.

This is the same guy who has already determined that Winston has proven he can't play successfully in the NFL?

You couldn't make this stuff up...

Your boy is 2nd in turnovers. Stinkston does stupid #### weekly. He almost fell over backwards this week before the snap. The guy is a clown. Why don't you bump the Stinkston thread? Oh, because you would continue to look like a fool when I came in and laughed at the 22 TO's he's manufactured.

Stinkston is garbage. He's a bigger turnover machine than last year.

Man, that's a lot of hate to repeatedly use such a terrible nickname.

 
Can Meredith will miss the rest of the offseason program due to a thumb ligament injury.  Sounds like he'll be ready for training camp though. 

 
Meredith was creeping up the draft board.  I believe he was going ahead of White and in the 8th round.  This should slow down his climb on draft boards and keep him a very solid late round pick.  Just hope he's able to be healthy the whole season.

 
Mark Potash of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote the chemistry between Mike Glennon and Cameron Meredith is "evident."

This comes just days after Glennon predicted Meredith would "have a big year." Kevin White is understandably getting the attention early in camp, but Meredith is the clear favorite for the No. 1 job, making him a value in the double-digit rounds.

Best WR they have and still very young at the position. Has a lot of potential. I know the guy he backed up at qb in college well. Says he's a relentless worker and completely transformed himself through college and now. And a quality human being

So basically, Brandon Marshall's successor. :P

Absolutely he is their best receiver and it's not close. Meredith didn't produce much in college, but he's big and very athletic. I like him a lot for dynasty and redraft. Maybe a bit more in redraft since he will be the #1 this year. Next year it is likely the Bears try to find a true WR1. I think Meredith is a very good WR2.

He played QB until midway through his junior year, and despite that managed to put up over 1,000 yds in his senior year in his first full year as a WR.

This kid is still learning the position.  He has every chance to be a legit WR1 given what he's shown so far.

Sure but converting positions isn't easy and there's no way he can ever recover that lost time.

 
I'm a buyer of Meredith this season.  I've done 5 high stakes drafts and have been going RB early and often and last night I snagged Meredith as my WR2 a the 7.10 spot.  I actually feel good about him.  I think he's a lock for 1,000 yards and 6 TDs, personally.  The Bears have a top 5 easy schedule for WRs and he is their WR1. If my weakest skill player is getting me 200 fantasy points, I'll take that all day.

Do you think he's a good bet to see 120-130 targets this year? There's a lot of guys that are being drafted as WR4s and WR5s like Meredith, Britt, Garcon and etc. who seem to be mortal locks to return on their draft price due to volume. Or maybe there's something I'm missing.

I also have zero faith in White stepping up and actually think Wright is the next best bet to garner some value in this receiving corps.

I like Garcon and Britt as well. I think that group of WRs (Tyrell is there as well) represent excellent value right now. Believe it or not, for standard, the Bears WRs had the 12th most fantasy points of any teams WR groups in 2016. Bears WRs scored more points than Broncos, Colts, Patriots, etc. There were 221 Bears WR receptions last year. Meredith was on pace for 111 targets last year (he missed 2 games). I think removing Alshon, that opens a space for more targets. Sure Kevin White (I also has no faith in him), Cruz and Wright will get targets. I think 120-130 is possible.

You're saying a 24 yr old WR who has played the position full time for 3 years has reached his apex?  How depressing.

I didn't say that. He can get better, but he can never fully recover the development that happens at a younger age. I assume he was a high school QB as well?

I'm afraid you have me confused.  So an older person can't learn the same things that they might have missed as a youngster?  Again, how depressing.

I hear what you are saying, but the same is true of Terelle Pryor who is 3 years older, and we still like him a lot around here.

Two people of similar natural ability and similar work ethic:

Person A begins playing violin at age 10. Person B begins playing at 22. When both are 30, who is the likely better violin player? 

If you began karate right now, do you think in 5 years you will be equally as good at karate as if you had started in 2010?

And I like Cameron Meredith too. I am just questioning whether he can develop into WR1. I think Pryor still hasn't fully proven he can function as a WR1. He did it in Cleveland but that was also out of necessity, it wasn't part of a longterm plan. The Browns didn't seem too interested in bringing Pryor back. The NFL seemed to be a bit disinterested in Pryor as he couldn't lock up a long term deal. 

ETA: Pryor could have been much better if he started college football as a WR.

I don't know.  Did person B play the viola for the 12 seasons years before switching to the violin?

I sure hope nobody tells JJ Watt about this.  It will likely ruin his career.

Watt was a DE and TE in high school. Played 1 year of TE in college. Spent 3 years as a DE in college. That is 1 year where Watt was not a DE. That is very different from Meredith was a HS QB, college QB for 2 years and then switched as a junior to WR. I like him and he is a good player. I just think his ultimate upside is a bit limited.

Or Antonio Gates

Certainly is a outlier. Can't argue against that. He was a great high school football player but did not play college. I'll throw out Matt Jones. Did that prove my point? Not really. If you think Meredith is an extreme outlier and talent on par with Gates, ok we will disagree. However, I think switching positions has a negative impact on player development.

How about Hines Ward?

In any case, I just disagree with your position and am having a little bit of fun at your expense.  I absolutely think that a person can recover what they've missed at an earlier age with dedication and strong work ethic - something that by all accounts Meredith has.

Hines Ward only briefly played QB in college- part of a season. He threw 71 passes as a college QB. Ward left Georgia as their 2nd all time leading receiver.
