Well whatever you say brother. Ward at least gets open and, you know, catches the ball. If this isn't in the stereotype for a WR1, than it should be. These would be 2 boxes unchecked for your boy Arcega-Whiteside. But hey, at least he's 6-2 and 225!
Ward played the Jackson Y role last year while Arcega Whiteside limped through playing the X.
I realize I made fun of him here, but I do think it is interesting how often a WR is termed a 2-3 year project and then given up on after one year
He was the 2.07 in my 12 team last year. I bought him for a 2022 4th (our last round of the draft—granted partially due to picking up on the prior owner’s roster crunch). How much cheaper can he get?
I actually drafted him and traded him with Evans and Darrell Henderson for MT and Gallup (lol) to a guy who loved JJAW and picked him from my team over AJ Brown
Part of it was definitely roster crunch on the other owner’s part (he’d acquired a few better players in the offseason and JJAW was looking like the obvious cut—I don’t think the plan was to sell that cheap, but if you wind up in a position where you have to move a guy who’s shown that little there’s not likely a robust market). But I would be shocked if he costs more than a 3rd in most places, and opportunities to get him for a 4 are likely out there.KChusker said:
They were both way over hyped. They were below average prospects that needed to be projected as projects at best. Basically they sucked and people got suckered in. Of course we forget forgettable players.
I mean
The parallel is they both had abysmal rookie years stat-wise. But Chark is a good example of why you can’t completely give up on Arcega-W. I’d say success after such a bad first year is more of an exception than the expectation. Maybe there’s something to the injuries JJAW was going through, but it I’m always skeptical of such excuses.
Because he looked quite bad. Also if we lose Jackson and Jefferey, we likely bring someone else in via FA or a high draft pick.
Agreed. Way too many people writing him off.
Eagles are the biggest WR mystery and offseason WR hype machine I've ever seen.
Eagles WR snap counts
You know it’s bad when John Hightower, who clearly wasn’t ready to play in an nfl game, is getting targeted over you. For those that held through the offseason, you now have an extra roster spot to play with
With basically every Eagles WR out or dinged, if he can't get targets this week it has to be curtains I'd think. He and Dante Pettis should form a support group.
