Fuller owners rejoice!!! At least it won’t be a trade that kills his value this year. Fingers still crossed on the injury front.
This is why I was hoping Cobb would get traded. He seems to be siphoning targets from Fuller and Cooks.Glad he didn't get traded. Now, go show them what they're missing and give him 10 targets a game!
I like him a lot too. But we have seen him hurt and Davante hurt and Jones hurt. With Covid hanging out I dont find it wise to sit pat hoping everyone stays healthy.Too bad this can't get worked out, but I have a sneaking feeling that Lazard is the real deal, a very solid #2.
I'll state up front that I have no shares of Fuller anywhere.
He's no doubt a sell high, but I'd say the biggest reason is the upcoming schedule. Weeks 13-15 have HOU facing INDY, @CHI, @INDY. INDY D is legit.I'll state up front that I have no shares of Fuller anywhere.
There has never been a better time to sell than right now. Soon enough, he'll revert to what we've seen over the past couple of years- a high injury risk player that will burn those overinvested in him. He's had an exceptional 10 game run- get your best ROI right now.

I switched from him to Duke. The weather sounds bad.How we feeling about Fuller with high winds in CLE today?
Feel like he just dropped from a low end WR1 with the matchup to more of a WR2/Flex due to this weather.
Would be interested to know who you're starting over him.
Following up from the weather thread, but as you know I have Hollywood and AB in consideration. You made good points with Hollywood so might go AB if I swap him out.How we feeling about Fuller with high winds in CLE today?

Take it for what it's worth, but was watching ESPNs Fantasy show and Mike Clay was saying that AB has by far the best CB matchup among TB WRs.Following up from the weather thread, but as you know I have Hollywood and AB in consideration.

Only thing with Fuller is he is getting some of the Nuk routes this year (shirt underneath stuff). With AB it’s a real dice roll. As who knows how the WR distribution will go this week.
I know everyone keeps talking about Carr and Baker’s numbers in similar conditions in week 8, but let’s also consider Watson is much better than those clowns.Take it for what it's worth, but was watching ESPNs Fantasy show and Mike Clay was saying that AB has by far the best CB matchup among TB WRs.
That said, nobody really knows anything.
Watson actually has a pretty bad history in windy games. Five TDs total and 228 passing yards per game across four games in games with similar windy conditions. I am seriously thinking of benching Fuller for Sterling Shepherd.I know everyone keeps talking about Carr and Baker’s numbers in similar conditions in week 8, but let’s also consider Watson is much better than those clowns.
I can see the logic in going AB, but could also easily see him with another 30-40 yard game. Arians chirping about Evans getting the ball. Godwin healthier with the finger. With Fuller all it takes is potentially one catch. And the Cleveland corners are still terrible. It’s a tough call.
That is what I did. Through halftime it is costing me 5 points.Mag1234 said:I ignored the wind in the midwest a couple of weeks ago and it burned me, so I'm also seriously considering benching Fuller. Especially since he runs the deep routes. I could flex in Duke Johnson for him.
Will Fuller caught 5-of-8 targets for 38 yards in the Texans' Week 10 loss to the Browns.
With the wind all but eliminating the deep ball on the shores of Lake Erie, Fuller was held without a touchdown for the first time in seven games. It didn't have to be that way, but an end zone target that may have been intended for Fuller somehow ended up in Pharoah Brown's hands for a score. Fuller also had a missed connection or two that might have been catches in better weather. One of fantasy's most consistent WR2s this season, Fuller should bounce back against the Patriots in Week 11 even if he sees a heavy dose of Stephon Gilmore.

Will Fuller caught 6-of-7 targets for 171 yards and two touchdowns in Houston's Week 12 win over the Lions.
Fuller joined Amari Cooper as the only players with at least 170 receiving yards and two touchdown receptions on Thanksgiving since 1990. Deshaun Watson and Fuller singlehandedly buried the Lions in the fourth quarter, scorching CB Amani Oruwariyre with a 40-yard go-route for a touchdown before responding yet again with a wide open 34-yard score following a trick flea-flicker play. Fuller, currently expected to become an unrestricted free agent at season's end, has already notched career-highs in receiving yards (879) and touchdowns (8) with five games left on the schedule. Fantasy players who intelligently laughed at any injury predictions are being rewarded with a WR1 that should have been treated as such in drafts this offseason.

It's a legit knock since he has played 14,10,7,11 games the prior four years...no doubt he is a stud if he is on the field...zero question about that.Truebluey said:Really one of the unsung heroes of the 2020 season.
The knock on him was injuries, but he has put that to rest this year.
Have an offer on the table to acquire and that is my only hang up on pulling the trigger.It's a legit knock since he has played 14,10,7,11 games the prior four years...no doubt he is a stud if he is on the field...zero question about that.
I seem to remember in the preseason there was some noise that he dedicated himself to the weight room and put on some weight to help stay on the field.Truebluey said:Really one of the unsung heroes of the 2020 season.

How does that explain week 2 when he was basically getting work done on his hamstring the entire game?I seem to remember in the preseason there was some noise that he dedicated himself to the weight room and put on some weight to help stay on the field.
Well it doesn't make him immune to all injuries. It was just meant to help in that department and also far so good.How does that explain week 2 when he was basically getting work done on his hamstring the entire game?
Yep, many experts often forget the beauty of playing in a contract year. Those nagging injuries often dissipate until they're taking care of. I wouldn't want to hold Fuller in dynasty but great value in 2020.Well it doesn't make him immune to all injuries. It was just meant to help in that department and also far so good.
Will Fuller announced via Instagram that he's been suspended six games for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substances policy.
And now we know why Fuller has stayed healthy this year. Currently set to become an unrestricted free agent in March, Fuller will miss the rest of the 2020 season and sit out Week 1 for whichever franchise he ends up with for the new league year. Fuller wraps up his fifth and potentially final year with the Texans with career-highs in receiving yards (879) and touchdowns (8) from Deshaun Watson. With Kenny Stills on waivers and Randall Cobb still on injured reserve, Houston will move forward with Brandin Cooks, Keke Coutee, and Isaiah Coulter in three-wide sets in the interim. Fuller turns 27 in April.

He's going to be a free agent. I would imagine delaying the process is going to make him much less appealing to a possible new team.6 games......there are only 5 games left in 2020 season, so 1 game will carry over to next season.
I bet a lot of teams will not want to sign him.....seeing as he will expect a higher WR contract based on his 2020 PED stats vs other yrs (always hurt).He's going to be a free agent. I would imagine delaying the process is going to make him much less appealing to a possible new team.
I'm wondering if this was the reason why he was able to maintain his health this year. And, I hate to say it, but I can totally understand why he took the risk.I bet a lot of teams will not want to sign him.....seeing as he will expect a higher WR contract based on his 2020 PED stats vs other yrs (always hurt).
Too much risk.........I think he's going to be the Offensive "Jadeveon Clowney". Expects to be paid top dollar, but will always be hurt.
Most PEDs definitely aid in recovery. I chalked up this season to playing in a contract year but never expected this. I'm curious how this will play out in free agency and what his market value is. Fuller was looking at a top 10 type contract prior.I'm wondering if this was the reason why he was able to maintain his health this year. And, I hate to say it, but I can totally understand why he took the risk.
Contract years also can have that effect on players who are more willing to play through minor nicks and soft tissue tweaks that they might otherwise sit for, but PEDs can definitely aid in recovery.I'm wondering if this was the reason why he was able to maintain his health this year.
