Depends, how many WR's do you have to start? How many teams in your league? Do you get any bonuses for long TDs?

Not wanting help on my team, which is why I left all that out. Just wanting some discussion on these guys, then I can make my own decision.
 
Not high on Stovall or Robinson. They're just not gonna get the QB play they need to put up big numbers.

Meachem has the highest upside because of raw talent, QB and offensive system. Playing time is a big question, of course.

Williamson has the most favorable playing-time situation, and probably the lowest floor of anyone here. But he plays in a run-first offense with a decent but not studly QB.

Kelly has talent, the question is whether he can stay healthy and get on the field. His QB situation is not disastrous, but nor is it as favorable as those of Meachem and Williamson.

So, if you want a flyer that could pay off big, take Meachem. If you want someone who could put up steady but unspectacular numbers, take Williamson. If you want someone in between, take Kelly.

He's starting opposite S Moss. So getting on the field is less an issue, staying healthy is more of an issue.

1) Robinson: He's won a starting gig opposite a second year WR. He's also a physical specimen who isn't a slouch in speed. I think he could be the leading receiver in SL. The bad news is, he'd be the leading receiver in SL. Similar to Kelly and Stovall, their offenses deflate the value they would normally have as a starting WR.2) Kelly: I believe he's got the starting gig even though I don't think it's been announced "officially". He could be a nice PPR find. That offense isn't a source for optimism, though. Poor WR2 numbers for years...how much of that was Randle El's fault I don't know. I like the kid and am glad to see him start...I just don't know if the O could be holding him back from decent WR3 fantasy potential.3) Meacham: Would be next to last on my list if he weren't on the Saints. An injury here and there, there's enough opportunity to make some noise for Meacham. Given the injury history of Colston and recent problems with Moore, I give him a bump.4) Williamson: If I had any confidence in the guy's hands, he'd be #1 on this list based on his opportunity as a starter on what I think will be a productive offense. And he's starting opposite an old and arthritic Holt who has more trouble getting open. But I can't get those drops out of my mind. If you are convinced he's finally learned how to catch, he should be #1.5) Stovall: He's not a starter and isn't on a high-powered O like Meacham is. I think his path to a starting gig is as difficult as Meacham's and if he get's there, where will he be? Tampa. I think Kelly and Robinson are as talented, if not more, than Stovall and also have starting gigs already; but some people love this kid and have been watching him for some time.

:D And I agree with most of this. However, I'm not sure Kelly is good as a PPR WR. I think that will go more to S. Moss and Cooley. I do think however, that he could be a nice redzone target with his size and hands. When he played with the first team offense in wk 3, he had at least 3 targets in the endzone...didn't come up with any but it was encouraging. I see him as a bad PPR WR, but some upside as far as a potential for TDs.
