Ja'Marr Chase Hype

Postby MyTeam » Mon May 17, 2021 11:52 am

Is the Ja'Marr Chase hype getting out of hand?

He is being drafted inside the top 10 WRs. Is this crazy or is this the cheapest we will be able to buy him?

Top 10 in a startup seems a little wild to me. He checks all the boxes and now just has to put it together at the next level. That being said, I would not draft him as a top 10 startup pick.

Ah, sorry, I updated the post. He is being draft as a top 10 WR. Not in the top ten picks. But he is going ahead of McLaurin, Hopkins, Ridley, Moore, Godwin, MT.

Rookies are always the next best player and Chase is the premier rookie this year so I'm not surprised by this. I could see him going ahead of Hopkins due to age and Thomas after a down year, not saying I would do this depending on build, but hype drives a lot of value in dynasty.

I don't hate it. Looking back at my startup last year, I took Evans ahead of Lamb and deeply regret it. Cooper, Robert Woods, Thielen all went slightly before Lamb. Just saying, if the kid is good, I don't hate it at all.

Yeah, I believe I saw he is the first receiver ever drafted as a top 10 startup receiver as a rookie. So he is the highest drafted rookie receiver ever. I like him as a prospect but I do not think he is the best receiver prospect ever or even close. Only able to show 1 year of production (thought it was great). Won on a lot of jump balls that will be tougher in the NFL. I think current price just not baking in much downside potential at all.

Cheapest you’ll get him. Look at Jefferson. Won’t shock me if Chase is WR1 in dynasty this time next year. He’s tied to Burrow.

Chase's pro day numbers were insane, as was his production against top tier competition. Familiarity with Burrow. He has that alpha mentality and the talent to back it up.

I can see reluctance about current value in startups. Chase would have been the top prospect last year and how many from that class are now top 20? I know he still has to prove he can do it, but I can see why hype is high.

I may be mistaken but I think he is the first consensus WR1 on every teams draft board since Calvin Johnson? Can’t remember where I heard it or read it. Now that might also be an indication of a weaker class if it’s true, but I think given his record and measureables it’s hard to argue with those who are targetting him.

So much that the Dolphins traded back and claimed waddle as their top WR???

It's the cheapest you will ever get him if he performs to the level that most expect him to.. The issue with investing significant resources into acquiring Chase is that you're buying him at his absolute ceiling, and anything short of perennial elite level production will be looked at as an underwhelming return.

The Dolphins weren’t drafting players that held out so not sure that counts

I’m fully on board. Think he’s the best WR prospect to come out in several years.
