If Lloyd doesn't play, which it looks like he might not since he missed Wed.'s practice, I think Hester is approaching must start status as a low WR2. The match-up vs. the Vikings less than average pass defense looks to be a very good one. I think Hester offers much more than Mason.
A thrill to watch this guy play. He seems to be progressing well as a wr. The team really seems to think a lot of him too and he's getting a lot of love in a surprisingly strong passing offense. Plus, Hester is always a possibility to take it to the house on kick returns. I'm probably plugging him in over Mason this week as well. Mason SEEEEMS safer but if you look at the targets over the last few games, maybe not. Curious...Has anybody ever scored a Kick, Punt and Receiving TD in the same game? Heck, he could potentially run one in too on an end-around...
Rashied Davis may not hold on starter status. It's his 4th season and he's never shown all that much. His YPC does nothing to inspire fear in opposing DBs, whereas Hester is too much of a speed threat to not have on the field as often as possible. I believe Davis also has a tweaked knee, although he is practicing.
Actually yes. I agree that he's probably not going to score a lot of TDs, but his routes look a lot crisper the last few weeks than I remember from last year. Also somebody mentioned it above, but defenders are giving him A LOT of cushion in fear of getting burned deep.
I wouldn't call his routes "crisper", but defenses are definitely giving him space to move as they are afraid of his speed and big play ability.
He absolutely is if your league starts 3 wrs + a flex & gives points for return yards.
