Definitely will have an uphill battle to do so, but I envision Krishawn Hogan emerging as the season progresses. He still must get healthy, recovering from his torn ACL, but I believe the talent is there. Until then it is Fountain and Rogers.

Just for the upside, I like Daurice Fountain the best. Here's what I have on Fountain in my abbreviated draft notes:
23 years old in December, East-West Shrine Game MVP, great athlete, 95th percentile arm-length, good work ethic, raw but with developmental upside, I wish he was younger with this profile, decent opportunity in Indy
Fountain certainly has NFL-caliber explosion traits, and while he may never be a great separator with his route-craft, that's where those freakishly long arms could matter -- with those arms he might not need to be an elite separator.

He's a long shot for sure, though. He probably needs multiple seasons to develop before he's ready to be a legitimate NFL starter, and as a 5th round pick he is unlikely to be granted that much time.

As for Deon Cain, like probably everyone, I looked at him first. To me, he doesn't look like an NFL player on the tape. He has no answer at all for aggressive man-coverage, much less press, and his hand-strength is very poor. The latter point is especially a shame because he's actually quite good at attacking at the catch-point, but too often he just doesn't come down with the ball because he simply can't hold onto it when contacted or contested.

So true. I never saw a "round 2 player who dropped because of character".

I saw him as a 4th rounder who fell a couple rounds due to character.

In my opinion his tape isn't even 4th round quality. Keke Coutee and DaeSean Hamilton are 4th round picks and I consider their tape leagues ahead of Cain's.

So even if Luck returns or ever plays again, people are hoping for numbers similar or better than Moncrief? I find that laughable.

Hilton is the only WR that will be fantasy relevant on the Colts. The other one is Doyle and he's a TE.

Deon Cain has tiny little baby hands.

I picked up Fountain in all 4 of my leagues and threw him on Taxi

Maybe 4 TD's. He is lock to drop at least 4 TD's that hit him right in his skillet hands.

If Brissett then that equates to around 50 " on targets " :ewink:

That's giving Ebron too much credit in the red-zone. Dude's soft and disappears when the field gets crowded.

Love it. Hoping Hines slides to my first pick I wouldn’t be mad at that

Anyone have strong feelings about who will step up with Hilton out?

Rogers & Grant, then Ebron, then Hines, then maybe Pascal
