WR3 - PPR 0.5
Posted on 8/19/15 at 11:55 am
Posted on 8/19/15 at 11:55 am
I'm in a 10-team PPR league. Draft isn't for a couple weeks, but based on mock drafts (not totally realistic, but a decent gauge of where guys are picked), the following WRs have fallen to me:
How would you order the following as a WR3?
- Golden Tate: came up huge in a season when Calvin was hobbled.
- Sammy Watkins: ripping apart camp, but has obvious QB issues at play.
- Julian Edelman: traditionally a good PPR receiver.
- Amari Cooper: clear-cut No. 1 in Oakland.
- Keenan Allen: excellent route-runner and supposedly will see more time in the slot this season.
- Allen Robinson: was on pace for 80+ catches a season ago.
This isn't in order, but I just wanted to gather some general thoughts and ensure I am not missing something with these guys.

Jarvis Landry needs to included in this group. I actually have him ranked higher than most in PPR leagues.

Watkins, Cooper, then Allen. This is considering you are OK with upside potential. Safest pick is Allen.

The main factor in deciding between these players at WR3/4 is the QB that is throwing to them/ the teams they are on.
Watkins is probably the most talented out of the group, but he's got Cassel/Taylor throwing to him.
Same with Bortles and Carr. Terrible QBs in terrible offenses.
Edelman may get hurt, Allen may get some catches taken away from him by Steve Johnson, and Tate may regress this year, but they are the 3 best options of this group... in PPR.

Cooper is unproven; Watkins and Robinson have terrible QB's. Tate and Edelman are not even their team's number one option in the passing game. Allen has Rivers throwing to him plus he's looking great in preseason. Barring injury, he's in for an easy 75, 1100, 7 TD type of season. Upside is 90, 1300, and 10.

Tate may regress
Here are my two cents. I have not been a fan of Tate in the past, but he proved me wrong last year. Then, this year, in the first preseason game, who shows up and looks like Matt Stafford's best friend and favorite target? Tate. I realize all this production was sans Calvin Johnson, but look for Detroit to be on fire this year and, even with CJ back in the line up, I think there will be plenty of balls headed Tate's way. So, On this list,
Tate
Watkins, Allen, Cooper
Edelman-though I'll admit that I have often underrated Edelman
Robinson-just don't like the whole thing going on in Jax

Edelman has finished as the 14th and 17th WR the past two seasons.
Tate was 5th in the NFL in receptions last season and was top 10 in targets, offense top 5 in pass attempts every year. #11 WR last season. Even if he regresses w more Calvin, 80 balls is his floor
Robinson was on pace for 80+ balls and 1k yards as a rookie before he was injured. Bortles #1 option.
Throw out Watkins and Cooper if you must.
Keenan Allen, your #37 WR last season. TE paced that offense in yards and TDs. You get 4 weeks of stud Ladarius Green, then back comes Gates. Stevie Johnson could very well turn out to be the WR1 in SD - 3 time 1k WR with shitty QB play in BUF. First real QB he will ever play with. Woodhead is back- caught 76 passes in 2013. Malcolm Floyd's swan song season, 10 years in SD w Rivers, going to try and go out on a high note. "looks great in preseason" O RLY that's nice
