Dope 463 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 he's very good. im cautiously optimistic, but he seems to be checking all the boxes. 1. Player from a national program drafted before the weekend. 2. Great reports out of camp. 3. in his 1st nfl game, just getting a taste of nfl football, he makes a toe tapping high point catch. It's just been up from there quite frankly. His role is increasing as is his tree. That video posted above about last weeks game was very positive. The hand signal to juju is phenomenal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Faust 5,020 Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Quote Chase Claypool caught all four of his targets for 74 yards in the Steelers’ Week 6 win over the Browns, rushing two times for seven yards and one touchdown. Claypool led the Steelers in receiving yards, but it was James Washington who saw a team-best seven targets in Diontae Johnson’s (back) absence. Washington went 4-68-1 on his looks. Claypool’s short rushing score came on a jet sweep to the left. Dripping with upside, Claypool has emerged as a high-upside WR3 moving forward with a date with the Titans on deck.

That class also had Cooks, Allen Robinson and Davante Adams so it's a reminder not to give up on guys like Reagor or Mims who have been been hampered by injury. Heck, remember OBJ was injured to start his rookie year and through week 6 only had 6/72/1. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Weeks 1-2 saw DJ and JSS take north of 85% of the snaps. Since week 3 CC, JSS, JW have all been right around 70%. Do we have any clue what happens with all 4 healthy?

JJSS 86% 91% 73% 76% 65% James Washington 58% 48% 81% 71% 66% Chase Claypool 30% 37% 76% 69% 79% Diontae Johnson 85% 83% 24% 8% DNP JJSS is seeing his playing time reduced a bit.

If he remains a weapon on jet sweeps or becomes a red-zone end-zone target, he could maintain his value. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahartig 295 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) I think we know for a fact that there will be at least 3-4 plays designed specifically for Chase, is that safe to assume? After that it's all abut big Ben and who he trusts...etc... Claypool has been hot and looked great, if I were Ben I would keep feeding him when he is on the field. I am starting him over Chase Edmonds (not a difficult choice). Also gamescrpit, I think the Titans keep this pretty competitive and they get Corey Davis back who looked good weeks 1 and 2.....

Maybe I haven't been paying much attention but I wasn't under the impression Butler was some kind of shutdown corner. On the one hand I suppose it's encouraging that they saw him as enough of a threat to focus on taking him out of the game. Doesn't help your fantasy team though.

Football Jones 1,461 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) I always think more long-term (dynasty), but there's absolutely no doubt Claypool will be their WR1 in time. It really shouldn't even be a debate. Claypool is a rookie during the COVID season, no less. We haven't seen anything from him yet (compared to when he hits his peak production). If you can swap DJ for Claypool in a dynasty league, run, don't walk, to your computer. Edited October 26, 2020 by Football Jones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
