Claypool was only covered a few times by an LB, one being the game winning TD.
That first catch of the year was really spectacular. And his college highlights were full of body control plays like that. Really like him, wish I had him in more leagues.
Maybe I’m too bullish, but I couldn't imagine him lasting until the 2nd round today. He’s the highest scoring flex eligible rookie per game in PPR leagues. Most of it is from one game, but he was also robbed of an additional 10 points or so.
I think it's somewhat safe to say most WRs may never have a game like this again for fantasy purposes
No doubt! I was just inspired to re-watch Joe Horn's 4 TD game. I remember that coming 1 week too late... I was knocked out of the playoffs the week before.
I think most will be happy with a half of this performance
CEH, Taylor, Lamb
I'm a longtime Jones truther, but he isn't going to win your league for you. Claypool might not either, probably not really. But he has a strong chance to and they aren't going to start ignoring him all of a sudden.
seriously though i've seen this and must have missed the news. is stafford messed up? seems an odd drop to me in many leagues. guess i need to read up.
Ben will take advantage of matchups and playmakers like Mapletron will have some plays designed to get the ball in his hands. Notice how Pittsburgh moved him around outside inside and in motion. He’s a matchup problem.
Claypool and I don’t think it’s close. Good body control, 6’4” 238 super freak, great combine numbers. Had another TD called back for OPI. The last TD was the only one I saw where a LB was across from him.
4 for 55 was his biggest game of the year. All this was with Golladay out who should be back soon. I don't see any way I'd start Marvin this year but definitely would start Claypool, especially with an injury to EITHER juju or dionte.
I kind of agree. And i like Golladay. But Claypool isn't a flash in the pan. He's going to be good for a long time...just like AJ Brown
Ya I guess he has haha. His biggest game was without golladay and still sucked. Marvin is a fa in most of my leagues, I don't remotely see him as a hot pickup
Depends how far down the line you're looking. What are juju and dionte contracts like? And how long will be be there?
This is the 2nd time I've read this in this thread.
It's possible, but Metcalf did have Russell Wilson throwing to him. Ben has made speed receivers relevant, but Claypools size makes him more than just a speed guy.This is the 2nd time I've read this in this thread.
Who knows anything this year, but I feel pretty confidently that Claypool will best both these stats by season-end; particularly the TDs, since he already has 5 in five games, and was a within a hair of two more, despite only getting legit playing time in the last two games, and legit looks in just the last one... You know, the one where he scored four times.
This offense has too many other weapons, which will keep defenses honest and allow CC to continue feasting. I see a fantasy WR2+ ROS, with WR1 upside. I don't mean a fantasy WR1; I mean the fantasy WR1. Odds are against that in dude's rookie year, but not as much as you should rationally think, in this particular case, IMHO.

Beyond wowing. Googles it. Dude has been absolutely dominating the NFL field, pretty much every day he's been on it. How this guy slipped to day 2 and WR pick 11 is beyond me. But he wears #11 and I don't think that's only b/c 11 looks fast.
