TOP 3 WR & TE PERSONAL PICKS

What are your top 3 

mine are 

WR’s

-Mike Evans 

-Julio Jones

-D.K Metcalf 

TE’s 

-Kelce 

-Kittle

-Waller

From what I've actually used. 

Olave(RR), Plex(FA), Hines(RD)

Kelce(GT), Mackey(UL), LaPorta(TOTY)

Hines was a slot machine with great blocking long before vanguard became a thing. He was also a stud KR/PR. Laporta was smooth as butter and my #1 until the first 2 I mentioned came out. If not for the crazy ability stacks now and vanguard I'd still use them both.

Solid choices all the ones I listed are still on my lineup sometimes they’ll get swapped with other Super Star players like Fitzgerald/Flowers/Lamb/Hill

Loving Mackey at TE. Leads my team in touchdowns.

My current WR crop, although i have some variations based on specific scheme, if i need blockers for run game, but broadly speaking, here's how i've rated things:

1. Anquan Boldin - boosted 99 SPD on 49ers TT, Double Me, Vanguard. Super elite, he's easily my #1, excels at everything.
2. Keon (Exclusive) - Double Me, YAC `Em Up and either FOF/Max Security, plus a couple other abilities of your choice (i'd suggest Route Tech & Jukebox)
3. Chris Olave - Double Me + YAC 'Em Up and almost literally every other ability.  I play him in the Slot as he's "only" 98 SPD
4. Odunze - with TT boosts
5. Puka - also easily boosted
6. Ceedee
7. Honorable mentions: Montez Sweat & Victor Cruz; both are Vanguard receivers, so they without a doubt have a place in the end-game

For my TEs, there's a clear best in position and then there's everyone else.  Not counting baby Gronk anywhere on these lists.

1. John Mackey - without a doubt THE best Tight End in the game, IMO.  He's got it and does it all.  I'm paying 2AP for Jukebox on him and boosting him to max 99 SPD with 5/5 Colts TTAS chems.  Super versatile, can get 0AP Secure Protector, although i'm using him primarily as a pass catcher.  Truzz, YAC `Em Up & Route Tech for 0AP is the stack i've been using.
2. Travis Kelce - too big to get the good quick-juke move, but he's still elite and yet another Vanguard player (0AP).  I'm using him mostly as a blocking TE, but he can also do it all.  0AP Secure Protector is nice.  Can pay 1AP for Honorary Lineman, although i've since removed this.
3. Evan Engram - there's a bit of a drop off beyond the top two, but  boosted (also via Colts TTAS) Evan Engram has been quite good, he was my #3 receiver for a while until we got more Bottleneck Man Press beaters, he's not seeing much playing time these days
4. Mark Andrews - finally benched Mark, but he's been a consistent spot on my roster since he dropped.

Bonus round (FBs):

1. Franco Harris - haven't used him, but i assume he's elite and gets Vanguard
2. Ben Skowronek - primarily comes in for blocking, but he's another swiss army knife of a card and can pretty much do it all.  HUGELY important on special teams, laying down pancake blocks to open gaping holes, but also elite with Secure Protector & Vanguard for 0AP
3. Trent Williams - max 99 SPD on boosted 49ers TT he's a menace, although his Vanguard does cost 1AP.

This list kind of got out of control... lemme know any thoughts or corrections / additions, or especially any glaring omissions i've made.  Thanks, fam!

Bump. Was hoping this thread might generate more discussion.

I mean your list is pretty comprehensive. Oddly Skowronek plays extremely well at receiver or TE (deviating from WR/TEs but…). Kind of like Mackey - one of those guys who for some reason just plays very very well.

EDIT: you literally have Skow in your list lol. I’ll maintain the value of this post by encouraging you to try him out at WR/TE

My only "gripe" (which obviously isn't, he's been fantastic and fully replaced how/where I was using big Trent Williams FB) is that I'm never quite sure what ability stack to run on Ben Skowronek.  Do i want Route Tech for 1AP, or if he's going to carry the ball a ton I probably want Jukebox/Evasive on him.  Obviously 0AP Vanguard all day but I find myself adjusting abilities around to tailor him to whatever role Ben fills at that given moment -- he's been everything from my featured back (HB) when i was initially using Texans TTAS chems (to max Ben at 99 SPD) to both pure blocking and pass catching TE, although i have barely played him at WR.  I guess he's lined up near the left sideline in five wide sets for that one ~week where i tried to convert to Run Balanced playbook.  That was nice, having two HBs, allowing me to audible around between formations.

Thanks for your great response.  Ben was an extremely well made card.  The person who built him should have a job wr0king for EA, obviously they know a thing or two about the game mechanics.
