Title says it all. 0.5 ppr and I need to drop one of M. Jones, J. Hunter, or J. Matthews?

I think it should probably be Hunter, but he has nice matchups coming up and is most likely to go off.

What say you?

I'd drop Hunter. That team cannot throw to even make a comeback with Locker/Whitehurst at the helm.

I'd drop hunter as well. Did that today in one league.

Hunter. Delanie Walker is the only player I trust catching passes in that offense.

Hunter. I can't see you ever starting him.

It's likely you will never play one of these guys, yes?



Hunter is a QB change from being relevant. TEN is already showing a proactive approach shifting from Greene to Sankey, so a QB change may not be far away. As it is, he's still seeing a little over 6 targets a game, so they are trying to get him the ball. It may take 1 game for him and Locker to click.

Matthews is still a rookie and has shown you cannot start him with confidence. Hunter has already passed that 1 year learning curve for WRs.

Jones is meh. He had near identical numbers to Jericho Cotchery last season and no one is on Cothcery's nuts as a fantasy relevant WR. You cannot go in expecting him to be a TD monster like he was last year. Outside of the TDs, he showed nothing special.

JMO but I still feel Hunter is the most valuable of the 3 here. You are looking for an upside stash and he has the highest ceiling.

Unfortunately not so much. Super thin at WR. Until I can work out a trade one will likely be playing WR3 spot.

I want to believe in Hunter, but I don't trust that offense to consistently get him the ball. Hopefully the time off helps Locker get his head straight.

Understandable, but same can be said about all of those guys. Hunter has the most potential, though.

Marvin Jones had (1) 100 yard game last season. (12) games with 4 receptions or less. (12) games of 61 yards or less.

Matthews has had 1 nice game and 3 duds.

Cannot really trust any of those guys at this point.

So which would you drop out of Jones or Matthews?

I was going to drop him but I'm holding off for now.

I think Jones has the better chance of consistent production, albeit minimal.

Matthews will be involved but it's just tricky to predict when he will have a nice game. He really needs an injury to Cooper or Maclin to flourish, i think.

Im not really sure. Gun to my head I will say Jones and hopes he finds the end zone like he did last season

Or for Cooper to continue sucking.

Cooper hasnt sucked. The team is 3-1 and he is playing the role he always has. He and Matthews are basically keeping each other from being fantasy relevant as they are both getting about the same run in that offense.

Maybe I'm just remembering the fumble and dropped TD pass from last week.

All while leading the team in catches. Foles is obviously comfortable with him dating back to last season.

I'm not arguing. I'm stating that's why I said he was sucking.

While we're talking about people sucking, anyone see Hunter's stone hands knock that pass into the air for the pick?
