John Brown or Allen Hurns (1 Viewer)

Considering situation, talent, etc.,do any of you guys think either of these WRs have any value this season (redraft)?

 
I think Hurns could have flyer value. I don't play in any leagues of such size that Brown could possibly have value without an injury to Fitzgerald or Floyd. That's not to say I think he'd be valueless in any leagues -- just that the biggest ones I play in tend to be something like 12x18. I think even really good third WR's are pretty useless in those.

Hurns could earn starter's stripes a whole lot easier with the far lesser competition in JAX.

I'd much rather take a flyer on Hurns. I'm not sure why everyone is so high on Brown. Seems like Arizona grabbed him to fill in the Andre Roberts role which doesn't exactly have a lot of upside.

 
John Brown.

1. 3rd round pick vs. UDFA

2. Arians seems to know how to locate receiver gems in the mid rounds.

3. Very fast deep threat guy makes him a perfect fit for Arians vertical passing game.

 
Because Breaston went for a 1,000 yards a few years back and Roberts was good for about 50 catches and 600 yards a year which isn't bad for a #3. I agree though that the value lies in the unproven but promising Hurns. The Jaguar wide receivers are a mixed bag right now and he has the clearest shot at getting signifcant playing time. If Bortles starts, he could be even more of a factor.

I prefer Hurns. You are probably drafting one of these guys not as a starter but as a deep back up, flyer. Upside is more important and I think Hurns has more upside. I really don't care about draft position anymore. I care about opportunity, performance, and role. Hurns knows all three positions because he is playing with one of his college OCs. Right now he is third WR because Robinson hasn't played all preseason, Ace Sanders hasn't either and is suspended for the first four games, Cecil Short has been injured, and Lee has played but not played as well.
