Who's going to emerge this season at WR for a 3rd option and 4th option?

Obviously Dural is a senior and has been a productive staple of our offense the last 3 season. Dupre is going to really breakout this season, he's on the Belitnikoff watch list. But who is going to be our 3rd and 4th option?

I'd love to see Dural/Dupre have an Odell/Jarvis 13' type year but on the other hand I think it's gonna take the whole stable of WR depth to win games in November.

Really would like to see TJ3/DJ82 to emerge and make big impacts, and also would like to see jazz/Davis/Anderson step up and make some plays if their names are called. Really is going to be an exciting year and an extremely talented group for years to come if they all stay due to that crowded depth chart

Johnson and Chark are the leading candidates. Of the freshmen, I'd say Dee Anderson is most likely. Derrick Dillon seems to be the forgotten man after he redshirted.

It won't be his bust out season this year, but if I had to put money on it, I'd say Drake Davis ends up being the best Tiger WR by the time he leaves LSU and possibly the best of the current group of talented WR's when he gets to the league.

Johnson is the only other WR to catch a pass in a game. Chark, Ferguson, Anderson, and Davis are probably next up and I wouldn't count out Sullivan and Dillon at this point. Anyway, there is no lack of talent and the hope is for two or three guys to contribute beyond obviously the main two. I don't see WR as a potential problem even with a few busts.

Drake Davis, but he'll be lucky to have double digit catches this year. Not many opportunities in this offense after getting Fournette, Guice, Dural and Dupre the ball.

Really, I could've sworn Chark had a big game against TT?!?!

Believe his big run was on a handoff.

Chark had a 79 yard rushing TD on an end around. No catches though.

Dee Anderson would win the Heisman matched up against walk on corners like in the spring game.

I think Ferguson will become a good possession receiver and will be great in the redzone in the slot position. Chark will be nothing more than a deepthreat, but you really need those in your offense. If Johnson could ever stop dancing so much after he gets the ball, he'll become dangerous. Then you have any one of the freshmen, who could emerge.

I'd say Chark comes in as the 3rd WR in yardage, but Ferguson is the 3rd WR in catches. Hopefully we can spread the ball around a good bit.

I think the third option really needs to be the Tight end.

Chark and Tyron will get opportunities. Drake Davis may lose 40-yard dash races versus DJ, but his size and athleticism is a rare combination that no one on the roster at that position has. We haven't had anyone like him since D-Lo Peterson. Just hope we get s combo of better play out of him and the QB position while he's here.
