Either duron carter is HORRIBLE and so is tre McBride or Cleveland can't evaluate talent for crap!!! They are sitting there for the taking! One of them is a 6'5" potential wr1.

Bowe was rumored to be on the bubble cut time.
Hardline should be their best big WR.
They have three, high quality, diminutive WR's that all graded out well on PFF but are not full time players.

I'm in a PPCS (points per a card sold) league, and he's going at the top of the draft board. Kid can sell a Buick.
In all honesty, I'd think Brian Hartline would be WR1.... could see some decent targets? Bowe is, well, the same WR we've seen the last few years moving into, somehow, a worse QB situation.
I just threw up in my mouth a little when I read that Brian hartline is their wr1. Lol

If you are walking down the street and see a penny on the ground, is it even worth your time and energy to pick it up? Sure, technically the penny has value, but not enough value to bother with.
See where I am going with this?

Brian Hartline has put up 1000 yards twice in his career. Not to mention he is 6'3 and will be the redzone option. SOMEBODY in that offense has to catch the ball. A WR1 on the Browns is better than the WR4 on the Colts. I like Hartline to put up 1000+ yards this season and at least 6 touchdowns. Not saying he is Jordy Nelson but the guy can play.

IME the "somebody has to catch the ball in that offense" theory rarely translates to FF championships.

One of the first things I learned playing fantasy football (right after: No One Cares About Your Fantasy Team) is that : Actually no, no one actually DOES have to score from (insert bad team). They can lose 24-3 all year long. Please take it from a Raiders fan, we know what we're talking about.
I mean, could you do worse than the Browns #1 WR as your WR6? Sure. Will Hawkins and Hartline have some flex-worthy weeks? Sure, probably.
Hartline turns 29 in November, and is just hoping to someday match his career-best of 4 TOUCHDOWNS in a season. Is that going to happen in Cleveland this year?

@RapSheet: #Browns WR Dwayne Bowe (hamstring) will be inactive vs. #Jets, sources say. A 3rd stringer on the depth chart, his deal has $9M guaranteed

Hartline has the size, but has played more like a possession receiver in the past if I recall correctly? Lots of slants/outs/curls/comebacks.

What's the most important position on a football team? QB. I think we all agree. What's second, third, fourth? Where does WR fall?
IMO (for what that's worth), second is CB and third is run-stuffer. Fourth is probably blindside OT.
Everybody seems to be caught up in the Sportscenter scenario of "Big Plays", but you can't win football games if you can't play defense, and you can't play offense without an offensive line.
BTW, FWIW, my Browns have 3-4 receivers that run 4.4 or better.

Go back through PFR's annual fantasy score tables and you'll observe that every single year, there's a team or two whose WR3 outscores another team's WR1. Often they outscore multiple teams' WR1s.
FWIW - and it won't be much - I think Hartline will finish as the example of this in 2015, but the only place I'd bother with a CLE WR would be Hawkins in best-ball formats.
