Now that we have seen them play which WR would you want on ur Dynasty team and why?

Austin-Bradford sucks

Hunter-Locker sucks

Patterson-Ponder sucks

Hopkins-Schaub sucks but not as bad as the other 3

Allen-Rivers looks like he's the old Rivers

 
Austin won't excel until they change that offense.

Hunter is stuck in a ball control/rushing offense as well. I like his skill set though. Britt is likely on his way out of town, so the snaps should increase.

Patterson is still raw and is rarely used.

Hopkins has great physical skills and has already demonstrated them. His offense and QB play however aren't pass friendly. Seems to only support AJ on a consistent basis.

Allen should be the starter for the rest of the season and has flashed top tier talent as well. Only WR in a true passing offense, but is battling for targets. The pecking order is pretty much Gates/Woodhead and then everyone else. That being said, seems like he has the most upside based on just the passing offense alone and number of snaps.

In dynasty, I wouldn't worry so much about their current QB situation. 2014 looks to be another good year for rookie QBs, and who knows where guys like Freeman, Foles etc may end up. Worry about how good each of those rookie WRs will be.

-Concerned about the early returns on Austin. He should be making more plays.

-Hunter seems to have stabilized after a rough training camp. High ceiling with him.

-Patterson is kind of what I expected. Explosive player that may or may not turn into a productive WR.

-Hopkins looks the best so far, and probably should be the pick out of the group. However, his combine would tell you that he's not quite as athletically gifted as Hunter and Patterson.

-Too early to tell much about Allen IMO.

 
I'm probably down the most on Austin. He just doesn't seem to fit with the Rams and their plans. I'm also not convinced he's everything he was touted to be.

Hunter and Patterson are both raw but have a high ceiling. I like Hunter as Britt is on the way out. The rest of those receivers are average except for Wright. I think Hunter will take over there soon.

Hopkins looks like the real deal. He'll be a #1 in the league after AJ retires.

I like Allen. He's in a golden opportunity after the Floyd injury. Brown is the possession guy. Royal the slot. Gates is the target hog there, but he's getting long in the tooth. I think he's almost fully recovered from his knee injury and he looks really solid.

 
My rankings..

Hopkins - probably #1 on this list. We've seen what he can do, and I'm impressed. The guy is here to stay.

Patterson - I love the talent, but I dont trust Minny not to not waste it. This is a long hold.

Hunter - Its only a matter of time. This kid will be good.

Austin - he isn't percy Harvin, but I'll take a swing. The name has more value than the player at this point

Marlon Brown - His upside might be limited, but this cat is here to stay.

Woods - Better than Allen. Kid can run routes and get open.

Allen - His size scores more points than his skill. Has the upside of a #2WR.

This pretty much matches my own rankings. Good job.

OP was asking for Dynasty. In a redraft, I'd still go Hopkins first. Then Woods, Brown, and Allen all dependent on who you like. I'd probably go Brown, Allen, Woods in that order. All due to their current QB and snaps....

As a Hopkins owner, I would find it tough to trade him for any two of these other guys.
