I take what you’re saying but I live in USC country and he ran a 4.61. Hand timed. That’s not good. He may indeed have hit 21 MPH in pads which means that Detroit found a gem that slipped through the cracks more than anything.

So this is inaccurate???

More like "Unofficial".
 
Got him after waivers. Not expecting anything but the rest of the wire was retreads, has beens and never was'.

Honestly, you shouldn’t. Speed and separation issues and Bryce Young (as of now) as your QB? Ugh. Granted, he runs okay, but it’s not great.

Johnson did get traded. But Mingo is still there, and Thielen will be back soon. I think you’ll see a downtick in routes run and it’s not exactly like he was getting peppered with double digit targets.

I mean, I have him, too. I added him two weeks ago. But that’s dynasty—I wouldn’t expect anything great for redraft. He’s a stash and hold.

Good chance Thielen gets traded and Mingo has done diddly.

Think Coker could surprise...in a WR4 kinda way lol.

Yeah, true.

But who wants Thielen and what can he fetch? If Diontae fetches a round increase from six to five (I think that’s what it was), does Thielen fetch even a seventh to sixth-round increase?

I don’t know. The going rate for receivers right now is about nil. That market’s been set, apparently.

Right, but does it really make sense to keep a Theilen around when you have B. Young throwing, and then Mingo/Legette/Coker all catching the ball?

Get what you can get for an aging Theilen and let the young kids play.

I agree. I’m just wondering if Carolina and their trade partners are going to agree. It doesn’t behoove CAR at all to win games right now. Lose, lose, lose and take the pain now for that first overall. Then you just draft another QB at number one and reset this whole shebang.

So no, they shouldn’t hang onto Thielen. But CAR has their own way of doing things under Tepper, and it doesn’t always make tons of sense.
 
Arrow aggressively pointing up. Nice to see him earn some downfield targets (beautiful sideline catch last game). He is not huge but has a big vert and long arms. He said coming out he tries to emulate larger receivers with a “my ball mentality.” That combined with his route running skillset and great hands should bode well for his future.

*EDIT - I didn’t realize he was 6’3”, thought he was in the 6’1” range. Maybe not Mike Evan’s huge, but pretty darn good size.
*EDIT - Apparently he is 6’1”….final answer

Got dam son. This kid is an undercover playmaker. Those routes and hands, whoa! I thought he was much smaller watching his reel the first time, like a 5'11'', 6'0'' guy - he certainly moves like one... But he's 6'3'' 215!! In the year of the WR apocalypse, dudes like Coker and Tillman are poised to rise from the ashes!

I like how they dropped the beat right when he took a big hit

As running games start to take off again, that also means less nickel and more man coverage to offset this. That means these bigger WRs could succeed again.

Agreed that he’s stash and hold. He was my 7th round, #111 pick. Total lottery pick but maybe I won a couple bucks here. The guy has talent, they all do if they’ve made a team. He won’t be a YAC machine or particularly elusive but solid hands and range. But yeah, WR4 type is probably his ceiling.

He’s 6’1” according to nfl.com and the NY Times. Combine measurement. Don’t want you guys to get too giddy. He’s described as big-bodied, which he is.
 
I started Coker over Hopkins in my 2nd flex position this week.

I lost.

ETA: The Snickers was pretty good though.

Mingo out the door clears the way for more Jalen Coker snaps the rest of the way

Coke Heads, rise up.

He’s not always right, but I usually pay attention to what Harmon says regarding WRs. Think he’s right that Coker’s snaps should go up without Mingo out there doing cardio sprints, but the return of Thielen is still a concern. Net/net, while the fantasy community got a little too excited about Coker last weekend, had he not stepped out at the one yard line on Sunday, we might be having a different conversation about him.
 
Next Gen Stats
