He's dead man. I say this as a previous owner who bought him early this past offseason and have since dropped him. Corey Coleman also had attitude and work ethic problems which exacerbated his drop problems.
I know, I'm stubborn. He'll likely get cut from my team soon.

3 things.

1. Same exact comment but at least you spelt his name right here.

2. I look in sig and immediately spot Landry. Pretty sure Landry was just as horrid last week. Lets not put our personal bias towards helping our own fantasy rosters ahead of what teams will actually do. Jarvis will get his regardless Callaway.

3. Give the kid a break. He was suspended from football last season. And from what I've seen it looks like hes a little overwhelmed on the field. Abandoning a rookie during difficult times wont help him develop chemistry, just break him mentally even further.

Antonio Callaway -- buy or sell

I haven't had the opportunity to watch Callaway play; I have only seen the box scores.

Say that you get what you consider a market value offer for him or have the opportunity to buy him at market value: are you buying or selling and, most importantly, why?

Thank you!

I’d buy ... he has a lot of development to do, but he’s shown flashes. The Browns offense can only get better with Hue Jackson gone.

Not sure what market value for him is...but I would probably buy for a mid 2nd or later. Would sell for any first, although I don’t see anyone knocking down the door trying to get him for even a later 1st.

I think he has that big play ability but I don’t see him as being a big ppr type guy. But I do like where Cleveland’s offense is trending.

Buy. He didnt play football in 2017. Hes been rusty but shown flashes of upside.

I sell, no hesitation.

I believe Cleveland takes another WR with a Day 1 or 2 pick next year. Callaway hasn't shown enough as a rookie to convince management he should be the long-term plan along side Landry at WR, plus his character problems make it foolhardy to put all their eggs in his basket regardless. Also of concern is Baker's seemingly good rapport with Higgins, and conversely his seemingly terrible rapport with Callaway (45% catch rate, yuck); there is a plausible scenario in 2019 in which Callaway is fourth on the depth-chart. Heck, Damion Ratley may even be a threat.

Raw talent, but poor at the craft from what I've seen and a laundry basket full of character issues. He's a lesser DGB. Sell sell sell.

Thank you!

Here are the two factors:

1) For Team 1 in sig., I'll need to get down to 22 players before the draft in August. Yes, it's early. But, everyone ends up looking to sell. So, if I can move a borderline-keeper for a reasonable pick now, then it's usually advantageous.

2) I'm being offered a late 2020 3rd. In this league -- 2QB and 2TE -- that's reasonable. That's about where I drafted him in 2018.

Thoughts with that additional info, especially the first piece?

Thank you all again! Great to hear your comments that go beyond the box score.
