If he keeps up this catch rate for the rest of his career, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that would be close to the greatest catch rate of all times. 🥴 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faust Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Quote Chase Claypool caught 3-of-3 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers' Week 2 win against the Broncos. Claypool caught an 84-yard bomb from Ben Roethlisberger, balancing along the sideline and pulling away from defenders for the score. The rookie might have gotten away with offensive pass interference, but that's just the opinion of one game watcher. Claypool is a boom-bust option who won't be trustworthy in fantasy lineups next week against the Texans. Sep 20, 2020, 6:17 PM ET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawFitz Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 If Claypool is still on your wire get him this week even if you have to overbid. Officially had 4 targets and caught one. The three misses weren't catchable balls, but we're longish looks. And he had two others that didn't hit the box due to penalty, one of which was a PI against his defender/mauler. Oh and his one catch was a screen where he bossed two tacklers near the LOS, then very nearly took it for a TD, missing by a hair. He looked WAY better than James Washington. The breakout is coming soon IMO, if Diontae misses games. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faust Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Quote Chase Claypool caught 1-of-4 targets for 24 yards in Pittsburgh's Week 3 win over the Texans. Claypool nearly turned his lone catch into a touchdown but was ultimately knocked out of bounds while stretching for the pylon. With Diontae Johnson (concussion) exiting early, Claypool will garner interest on waivers (and rightfully so) ahead of Pittsburgh's Week 4 matchup against Tennessee. The rookie is a tremendous stash regardless in case he eventually takes the team's No. 3 receiver job full-time.

LawFitz Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 The guy Claypool reminds me of most is Darren Waller - though I think Claypool has better hands, body control and straight-line speed. I don't think he's as twitchy as prime Megatron, but I think he has similar ball skills and more physicality. It's absolutely ridiculous that a talent like this not only fell out of the 1st round, but was the 11th WR off the board. 11th! No harm upon Deonte, but I really hope he sits this week, just to get Chase on the field for a full game in 3 WR sets. I suspect once he does, it'll be James Washington who gets relegated upon Deonte's eventual return. We all know what a healthy JJSS can do. But have a look at these two up-and-coming Stiller baby beasts. Once all three are fully integrated and clicking, Pitt will have the best WR corps in the NFL, save for perhaps Dallas. NFL weeks 1-2: Chase - https://youtu.be/lpgPVTW3uog Deonte - https://youtu.be/YSqk2iOqovo Steel Week 3 - https://youtu.be/8VwgnJlcmgw - fast fwd to 11:15 to check out the new boss.

LawFitz Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Claypool leads week 3 Stillers WR snaps: Quote The starting offensive line and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger played every offensive snap, which is always great news. Jerald Hawkins played 3 snaps as a 6th offensive lineman and last week’s story of the game, Kevin Dotson, went back to the bench for all but 4 special teams snaps ... The next highest count after those six was Chase Claypool at 61 snaps played. Quote If you look closely you will see a name that doesn’t fit on that snap count list. Minkah Fitzpatrick played three offensive snaps in Week 3, but it wasn’t as an emergency receiver or the start of a dual threat career. Minkah Fitzpatrick took over Chase Claypool’s safety valve role in the kneel down at the end of the game. Claypool was in for the kneel down at the end of the first half. Not sure if the bolded is a sign that Claypool has ascended in team importance - or if he was shook up physically when he tried that dive into the EZ at the end of the game. If the former, and given the snap counts, the trend is his friend. And yours since multiple waiver wire WRs blew up the box scores this weekend, while Chase put up a quiet 1-4-24-0. Let everyone else duke it for Lazard, Jefferson, Aiyuk, Higgins, Isabella, Wilson, Cobb, Renfrow - while you quietly slide into the Mapletron DMs. Edited September 28, 2020 by LawFitz https://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/2020/9/28/21461938/week-3-snap-counts-show-an-important-shift-for-the-steelers-mike-hilton-chase-claypool-mcfarland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankman Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Quote Chase Claypool caught 7-of-11 targets for 110 yards and three touchdowns in the Steelers' Week 5 win over the Eagles, adding a rushing touchdown on three carries. Claypool stepped up with three scores through the air and an extra touchdown on the ground while Diontae Johnson was sidelined with a back injury. He also had a chance at another long play but was called for offensive pass interference. No Steelers receiver outside of Claypool saw more than five targets. Because he was so clearly the No. 1 wide receiver in this game, Claypool should be rostered in every league and could even be worth starting if Johnson is out for Week 6 when Pittsburgh faces the Browns. - Rotoworld ...

travdogg Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Dynasty wise, I couldn't be more excited. Especially with JuJu likely gone after this season. Redraft wise, I almost wonder if he's a sell high. He's likely left James Washington in the dust, but I don't think its right to assume this game puts him ahead of JuJu or Johnson. Although, I personally think Johnson and Claypool are the 2 best WR's on the team. I can't see JuJu just getting fazed out, as he has the best rapport with Roethlisberger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tricky92 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'm so ticked off at myself... I had every intention of grabbing Claypool off the wire as soon as I was able to slot Julio in to the IR slot, and then for whatever reason I decided to roster Pollard instead. I just traded Diontae late last week, and thought grabbing a piece of this pass offense would be in my best interest. Clearly I must have had a seizure some time yesterday around 11:30am EST.
