I will admit it, I was as much on the Sammy bandwagon as it anyone. I took him 1.01 in a few rookie drafts and drafted him early 2nd in a few other startups. :wall:

However, I have since seen the light (or seen him on my bench) as he's gotten injured time after time and underperformed. Sammy has a golden opportunity now with Tyreek possibly out. However, even with Mahomes slingin the ball, I can't see Sammy putting up WR1 numbers. He just hasn't shown the ability to be a WR1 before, much less avoid the injury bug.

So for me, it's Stephon :thumbup: if you can Digg it

Sammy has definitely shown the ability to be not only a WR1, but a high WR1. The back half of 2015 was a thing that happened. Now it's fair to say that he hasn't shown the ability to stay healthy, and we're not sure if his upside is as high as it was prior to the foot injury...but to say that he hasn't shown the ability to be a WR1 before is just laughable.

Obviously it's Diggs right now, but not because Sammy has never shown WR1 upside.
