WR Corey Davis, Retired (1 Viewer)

Had an offer of Curtis Samuel and a 2nd before kickoff (about 2 hours before), decided to wait it out and see what happens.  Not the best offer, but it was worth considering with Samuel getting so much hype himself.  

At this point, I'll probably take whatever I can get for Davis in the 1 league I own him.

The Browns thought that Davis was the best WR on the Titans. 

Mariota not laying an egg is encouraging. 

Davis is somewhat heading into Sammy Watkins territory where we keep waiting for the production to match the talent....

Yep 100%....I own him in 3 leagues and although it was discouraging to see his performance this weekend I think the breakout (if you want to call it that) of AJ Brown will actually help Davis.   It does feel a lot like Sammy Watkins but he ended up with a pretty good day so there's hope 😉

 
Yup, all he needs to do is sign with KC and the production will start!

Talented player that will continue to be maddening for FFers until things change (team/QB/offensive philosophy).

 
Hes not going to post a 0 every week. Just as John Ross isnt dominating weekly. 

Brown's emergence and Walker showing he still has it are good for Davis. What isnt good for Davis is Mariota.

AJ Brown was out snapped by Tajae Sharpe, however if you only read box scores you feel like AJ Brown dominated the game. 

Corey Davis will be fine. We are still waiting until Mariota learns how to air it deep and/or the coaching staff gets a clue in order for him to go nuts

Made the mistake of drafting this guy late in one league. Into the trash he goes. He will have a few decent games I'm sure but the consistency isn't there. 

 
Im holding. He had some monster games last year so he has the talent. He fizzled when the Titans went run heavy in the second half of the season which is the big concern especially with new target Brown and Walker's return. That being said, Im gonna hold to see how he does vs a non-lock down CB.

quite the over reaction to drop. I'm benching him where I can until I see more but hes 24 years old and stands to get a new qb next year... Its one week. I dont think anyone dropped Montgomery

 
Really debating hard on davis right now. Bought him for $5/$210 with option to keep for $8 next year. Could drop him right now for Mclaurin for $1 with $4 keeper price for next year.

I loved davis talent. Also thought Mclaurin looked incredible sunday.

Would hate to quit davis early. Would hate to see Mclaurin get snatched this weekend or have another 7-100 game sunday and that price go up to $20+

 
I noticed him in the FA list and hadn't actually looked to see who the guy dropped him for so I just checked -- Titans D/ST. I honestly have no idea what he was thinking. He kept D'Ernest Johnson, Devine Ozigbo, Jakobi Meyers and the Browns defense over Davis. Baffling move. We have a roster size of 25 so it isn't like there wasn't room for him. I'm going to up my bid to everything I've got left.

I hope his pride is hurt a bit and he plays with a chip this week. The rookie outplayed him.

Agree. Brown may be what helps Davis take his game to the next level. Nobody wants to get shown up by the new guy and CD does have the skill set to be the guy....he just needs to be the guy. There just seems be an “edge” missing from him...maybe Brown helps bring that out. Brown has an “edge” to him.

is this dynasty or redraft?  In dynasty definitely bid top bucks to land him, redraft I may temper my bid but still would look to snatch him up.  I have him on 4 teams and only started him in 1 league last week, yes it's a disappointment but I believe he will still get the targets and the fact that AJ Brown did well may indeed free Davis up.

I love Davis's talent and tried to grab him but was drafted just before I was going to select him.  Funny enough, I saw what Brown did last week and picked him up this week.  Kid looks terrific.

Agreed. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a big enough piece of the pie for two productive WRs in that offense, and you also have Walker (as long as he's healthy) and Humphries. It will be interesting to see how the targets are allocated on a weekly basis - may be a maddening situation where no one separates from the other(s).

ya, but what I really liked about Brown is that nearly all his yards are after the catch breaking tackles against smaller CBs.  Reminded me of Brandon Marshall early in his career.  He may not be a target hog but will get every yard possible.  Sorry to hijack in the Davis thread.

I dont think its a hijack at all. I think its a legit question. In one league I own Davis and Brown is just sitting there as a FA. I dont know if I should roster one (and which one), both, or none.

it's tough...I've been hopeful for Mariotta but just don't think he's going to be the guy there long term....just hasn't turned the needle.  I drafted Davis in my rookie keeper league, kept him into last year and probably stupidly tried to go back to the well again despite his mediocre production.  Talented kid and my main attraction this year is the void in the offense and the fact that someone has to get the ball.   Then I saw what Brown did last week on his limited touches and you never know.  The kid is clearly a beast and he's shown in one week that you NEED to get him the ball a few times a game in space and let him bowl people over.  

In full transparency Brown is my 5th wr so I'm just looking pure upside/home run potential and I'm willing to park him for a few weeks and take a wait and see view.

Yeah, dynasty.

 
I feel like he's a 12 team PPR tweener.

"Too good" to be on waivers but not good enough to start and has almost zero trade value, even in start 3 WR + flex leagues. Especially now that Walker is healthy.

Exactly where I am. I tried dropping him for Hockenson this week but missed that train. Now I have a claim in to drop him for Waller. I have Ertz but he's not filling me with confidence right now. 

 
classic week 1 over-reactions.

Dude had a tough matchup against an all-pro corner last week.

I'll at least give him another game or two before throwing in the towel.

But why would they put an all pro on somebody who sucks as much as Davis?  

Of course that is facetious. NFL defenses respect him even if fantasy circles don't. Situation means a lot to fantasy production.

geez...

6 weeks ago if someone said they'd be dropping Corey Davis for Waller because of lack of confidence in Ertz... I think we would slap that person across the face

Dude has Lamar Jackson to thank for not holding the title of worst arm in the league throwing to him.

This has held true for several years now.

I agree on being somewhat patient, but I don't feel the negativity is an overreaction or to week one. 

An all pro corner is not an excuse. 4 catches 40 yards? key touchdown? Some key first downs? Being shutdown is unacceptable regardless of the corner. Lowering expectations is understandable though.

He's drafted to be a #1 and been given every change to become one. His issues he entered with have not been improving (discussed tons in this thread) in games. The practice reports (and videos) show him improving and fixing his game, but when he gets in there, he reverts to bad habits. 

One of his is his insistence on playing pattycake with defenders. NFL DBs always press rookie WRs because it's used sparingly in college (among other reasons) and it is a prerequisite to the job of being a #1 WR. There are techniques that are easy to learn if the WR didn't learn them in college or high school and this is considered somewhat elementary.  The Titans have had a ton of young WRs, including rookies, in camp recently and Davis is the only one that struggles with this. 

His cuts are nice N sharp now and he's getting some nice hips too but those practice videos do not translate. We can go on and on with him. He looks so much better in the videos but every year he has the same issues on the field.

AJ Brown had everyone curious how he would handle NFL press coverage and umm that was probably the best anyone ever has. He slapped the CB once, pushed him back another and quickly looked like "don't mess with me." During a couple catches, he showed a mean stiff arm and...NFL CBs are going to think twice about pressing him now. The rub here is such a bitter pill to swallow because he learned those techniques from Corey this spring. Google for articles and videos. It's just OUCH when you recognize that.

Arthur Smith did a fantastic job for Corey. One game in and I am so thankful for a new offensive coordinator. Anyway, if you look at Corey's routes, he was given a nice variety and were what he did best last year. 

We're at the same point we were with Hunter and Britt. He has the tools. He has received the coaching. He clearly knows what to do. He clearly has developed. Can he show the world though and get it done in a game? then can he get it done consistently? We all love the sparks he's shown over the years but he's gotta put it together

Quite a compelling argument.

You do understand that people are dropping him after week 1?

drafted him in the 5th, 6th, or 7th round? Now just drop him with confidence. He was a waste of a pick.

You obviously must have had SOME faith in the guy when you drafted him. All of that is gone after one game?

Grab that shinny new player on the waiver wire that had a good week one. Good luck with that.  

 
All receivers want the ball and Corey seems like a hard working kid. A quote from him this offseason:

“My personality is I’m not going to be a diva,” Davis said. “I am not going to be a guy that goes out there and whines if I am not getting the ball. If I am not getting the ball, it is my fault. I have to get open. Me and the quarterback have to be on the same page and that is what we are working on here.”

I think having a talented young guy like Brown come in and produce will elevate Corey. He will be forced to continue to find ways to improve otherwise he will lose top spot to the young buck. Diva or not, nobody wants the new guy to come in and take their position. My biggest concern from an FF standpoint will always be Mariota. The other legitimate issue is they have good skill guys and it will be tough for any of them to consistently standout in a conservative offense and a good defense. CD, Brown, Humphries, Walker...a lot of capable options to feed. Great for real football, not so much for FF.

Another thing I have mentioned is that CD just seems to be missing an “edge.” Again, hopefully seeing Brown (who has alpha confidence and ability IMO) will stoke the fire. This offseason quote from Vrabel tells me they are still trying to see that “edge” more often:

“Just try to remind him that anytime the ball’s in the air, it’s his ball,” Vrabel said. “I think that there’s a lot of times where we saw that and there’s times where we need to continue to see that. I think that he’s trying to take that mindset that when it leaves the quarterbacks hand, it’s his ball.”

He has the physical tools and I think someday he will live up pretty close to his billing, but it may be on a different team with a different quarterback for FFers to gain trust again.

I dropped him for McLaurin in a 12 team, 16 player redraft league and didn't give it a second thought.  I was pissed I had to settle for him on draft night.  Even more pissed that I started him in Week 1. 

 
Anyone dropping is insane.

The guy has a great pedigree and had his moments last season on a horrible offense. 

This year, albeit after one game, it looks like this offense could have a little more juice. D. Walker back. And if Brown emerges on the other side, defenses will have to account for him more.

Add to this a D that looks legit that could give TN offense more opportunities.

I'm holding.

I feel so bad for these people. 

 
Corey Davis caught 3-of-5 targets for 38 yards in the Titans' Week 2 loss to the Colts.

Davis is not the Titans' clear cut No. 1 receiver. Marcus Mariota targeted TE Delanie Walker a team-high six times and rookie WR A.J. Brown tied Davis with his five targets. In this slow-paced, run-heavy offense, Davis needs a larger chunk of the Titans' targets to be more than a WR4/5 in fantasy. Davis will match up with the Jaguars next week, and he's best left on the bench in fantasy.

tonight seems like the perfect type of game for Davis to break out.. Jaguars are going to lock in on D.Henry after what he did to them last year ... The guy is due more than anyone whos a #1 WR on their squad

:lmao:  Yes I'm betting Corey Davis has his way with Jalen Ramsey.

Like he has with all the upper echelon corners in his 3 year career.
