It's strange that you're not acknowledging the other side of the discussion, but I am.Vcize wrote: ↑Thu Nov 16, 2017 8:43 pm And last year it had him in the top 20 ahead of Odell Beckham (among many others) while Hopkins and ARob were near the bottom.
Strange how a couple of great WRs like Hopkins end up near the bottom of the list when playing alongside terrible QB play. It's almost like that stat isn't as good as filtering out poor QB/team play as you're advertising.
But hey, sorry I forgot that this year is the only year that happened. Unless we're talking about YatC I guess, then since that's like the one stat that is near his career averages this year it's OK to talk about the rest of his career there too.
Landry is one of the top slot receivers in the NFL. He would be a luxury in an offense that has an actual possession receiver to move the ball more efficiently, along with a more proven deep threat to create more space down low. He would probably hold more real life NFL value because of it. However, that upside is not likely to carry over the same volume from Miami, where he is the primary option with no possession receiver and sketchy deep threats in Parker and Stills. He's in the perfect situation to get the most out of his stats long-term for fantasy owners. Even in a "down" year, Landry is on pace for 245 points in PPR.
If Landry goes to a duplicate of Miami's offense, where the team is comfortable on an inefficient game plan, then this discussion means nothing. But, the goal of this discussion is merely to point out the downside of a strategy that makes up a lot of Landry's dynasty value over his career.
