Chase "MAPLETRON" Claypool

[TD41]

This is the one thread I try not to read... I have no Claypool shares and I'm ALL the jealous

[Mike11]

First rookie ever with 10 TDs in his first 10 games... He's pretty good. That being said, he's on pace for about 894 yards, so with expected TD regression it will be interesting to see where he slots next year. Is he a top 25 dynasty WR at this point, or is that contingent on Juju leaving town?

Top 25 sounds about right that's the
Kupp, sutton, diontae, Keenan, lockett range fwiw

As long as he's in Pittsburgh with Ben, don't expect much of a TD regression. The other good WR's take away from his yards and receptions, but as soon as the end zone is in sight, Ben goes right to Claypool and DB's are usually not able to cover him without drawing a flag

[Needalife]

The guy is a real talent and plays with a lot of juice. My biggest concern in over-investing or over-paying in a trade to get him is Ben. How many more years does Ben have and will he be as good without Ben? In general, I worry about all Steelers WRs for that reason but I love the offense with Ben. Once he goes, they have to do better than Rudolph types.

[Mike11]

Definitely true, I think him and Diontae truly look like the real deal. They’re both young and have a good QB around them while they develop but we can’t assume Ben is around more than maybe this year + next.

The good thing is that Ben is having one of his best seasons ever statistically, the team is 10-0, and he is still "only" 38. If he wanted to play into his 40's like both Brady and Brees, he definitely could.

The only reason I doubt this is with how many injuries he's had over his career

Thought I'd revive this thread for some laughs.

I have no idea who Michael Balko is, and whether he is credible or not. But. Here's the tweet.

The #Packers are reportedly “All In” on current #Steelers WR Chase Claypool and will attempt to trade for him before the NFL trade deadline.

Do "Mapletron" shareholders dare to dream again...?

[YouMightDieTryin]

I'll believe it when I can smell it. We haven't traded for anyone but Cobb for a 6th rounder. They NEED to trade for someone, but I just never believe it'll actually happen. Now go prove me wrong GB!

[Jigga94]

Thinking of offering Jeudy for him. Maybe even Jeudy + a 2nd.

Turns out the 2nd was possibly the most valuable piece

Did some (very) light digging on Balko, never mind. This isn't happening.

As you were, Mapletron fans!

Rule 1
Never add assets when trading 1 bust for another bust!

But their brains aren't even fully developed yet!

Mapletron will be a beast. I thought he was similar to VJax, who also had his share of ups and downs and didn’t fully fire until year 4. It’s going to happen guys, strap in and hang on
