Carmichael is irreplaceable because of that height....LOVE Jerry IRL but route tech isn't doing much and he doesn't jump well.
Irvin looks great and I have Legends 40/40 but Julio gets 1 AP match-up nightmare and he's 6'3 but doesn't get +1 speed, no Legends chem.
Who should be #2 and who should be in the slot??
I run a 40/40 Legends TT also and I grabbed Julio. Since he has 92 speed, not jumping up to 93 from chems really isn't a difference maker for me at all. That matchup nightmare for 1 AP is too good. His height, jump, and route running make him easily the best WR in the game right now.
I'd put Jerry at #2. Even without route tech, he always seems to get open. Irvin and Megatron are a toss-up. Irvin doesn't really jump on at me as anything special, but his catching stats are top notch. Megatron still seems to be a demon even with 93s out, but I feel like he'll fade out quicker than the other 3.
Another WR that I love that doesn't ever get talked about is Hines Ward. He has decent height at 6'0 and get slot-o-matic for 2 ap. That ability has singlehandedly won me games.

WR options are not wonderful atm. Jerry is great the harder the route is you put him on to make opponent with man cover lose him.
Irvin makes some sick plays if you can get the ball in his hands. Sometimes he just burns coverage all game. Other times it’s really hard to feed him.
I want to run Kupp at slot but sold him and put Hester there. His speed gets him open quickly but main reason is the WR option run plays. Mine need slot wr so he is nasty on runs and gets me by for now at slot. It’s how I used Tyreek for a minute.

What playbook do you use for wr option plays?
why not the great white hype Cooper Kupp?
0 AP short in elite? cookin!

Kupp never plays well for me and that jumping is an issue ....

I have Hester also, when the ball is in his hands hes dangerous but you have to run only certain routes with him
After playing a few games with all of these guys my impression is that Carmichael is still the man. That height and just pushing guys off him is still dominant. But Julio stood out above Irvin and even Rice and Megatron.
I'm have to play a few more games then sell one or 2 of them

Steelers. No reason other than it has a decent mix of plays and formations I like and have been running for a long time. It’s pretty basic though. Singleback has some great run formations and that’s where I run the wr option.

I tried Julio and honestly didn’t give him enough of a chance. I was overwhelmed at the time by underperforming (for me) receivers that don’t exactly fit my scheme. I didn’t really want to go back to the tall guys out of boredom. Making it work till another monster releases.

I was going with the 6'8 Carmichael, 6'5 Megatron, Plax, and B Marsh thing but then Rice came.out and even tho I'm a Giants fan and he always was a nightmare for us, he's the best ai ever saw so I grabbed him. Then Hester dropped w that mobility.....So I figured I'd give shorter guys a try in the slot......
Jerry has been really good but not spectacular for me...Irvin looks excellent but not one thing is spectacular....except his juke.... I built up a large coin stack, pulled Zack and AJ and bought Woolen....and had a.nice stack still so went after Julio. He hasn't disappointed but it's a limited number of games
wink89 said:What playbook do you use for wr option plays?
Run and shoot. It has so, so many.
I haven’t even been able to take the time to learn it.

I tried that out but the problem I personally had with it was that if your opponent stays home, plays the right flats, sets zone drops properly or changes up his man coverage, you'll have to throw the ball and I feel much more comfortable throwing to bigger receivers like Harold, Julio, Megatron, etc. I do have some sweeps and options for WR runs in my PB and I use Hester for those primarily....but they can be very successful if your opponent doesn't know how to stop them...but yeah I gave up on run n shoot PB. Honestly I think the best offensive PB right now is the Lions...the only issue I have with that PB is there aren't enough outside runs or should I say stretches and sweeps. I use Barry, Dickerson and Sweetness but I find I have to sometimes get Henry in my lineup just in case I need to run inside because I don't have enough outside runs to keep the D honest
For me, Hester as HANDS DOWN been the best WR of the year for me so far. I absolutely loved Megatron and used him to death, but this Hester card is something else.

Everybody has their style of gameplay. Glad you like him. I can't run deep route or corner routes or anything like that with him but I will say that I noticed that with just return man on him, after the catch as a WR, he's VERY shifty after the catch.
I also like receivers who can block though, so that's me. That's why I carry Hines Ward and Delanie (I know he's a TE but I can line him up at WR in a tight set and he's got 91 run blocking)
It sounds like you like jumping and height so stick with the big boys. Megratron and Julio. I think Megatron stays on the outside, Julio in the slot which would maximize that matchup nightmare. Others will suggest a varitety of WR but ultimately it is what works for your scheme. For me my nubmer 1 has to have height and speed (Randy, Calvin, Carmichael, etc), My WR1 is the bomb deep guy, red zone jump ball or crossers. WR2 has to be the jack of all trades. Decent size, ok speed, runblocking, CIT, RR, but he does not have have to be top tier at all of those. (Irvin, Julio, Brown, Claypool, etc), My WR2 usually is on a corner or a post maybe a deep in. WR3 has to either have superior speed or mazimum RR, or a killer ability (Tyreek and Hester for speed, of Kupp and Rice for RR). These are my slant and zig guys with an occasional seem. Again that is how I like to run my offense but everyone is different and there is no wrong way to do it.
