Keesean Johnson
Keesean Johnson
Ended up snagging him late, he has looked decent but I haven’t seen much besides some highlights and box scores. Is he clicking with Murray? Making catches? Running with the 1s? I know he is not super fast but a good route runner.

Re: Keesean Johnson
I'm intrigued by this guy, but his Pro Day/Combine numbers weren't that great.
https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/keesean-johnson/
Of course, those are decent college dominator and breakout age scores.
As for the other stuff you asked, here are some links that might be helpful. I just ran a Google search on him, but it's nice to actually watch/see his targets, and read up about his play.

I doubt he'll get a bunch of snaps at WR this season. There's a reason they just signed Crabtree, and Day 3 picks like him usually gotta wait for someone to go down so that they can earn their PT.

Re: Keesean Johnson
I disagree. There is a reason they signed Crabtree, but it wasn't because of Keesean. Butler is not working out, and possibly heading to IR. I think Keesean starts in 3 WR sets this year, which they should run almost all the time.Under The Bridge wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2019 11:06 am I'm intrigued by this guy, but his Pro Day/Combine numbers weren't that great.

Re: Keesean Johnson
Lemme clarify what I meant. There's a reason they signed Crabtree, and it's because they need another WR they can trust, especially since Kevin White didn't work out (feel bad for that guy) and Butler isn't what they thought he'd be. Crabtree can be plugged in immediately if they want, but they can also plug in Johnson I guess. But let's not forget that they have Kirk and Fitz, so I expect those 2 to get the most targets, with Crabtree, Isabella, Johnson, and Sherfield sharing the rest.FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2019 11:09 amI disagree.

Re: Keesean Johnson
It'll be interesting to see who the 3rd wideout is (probably Crabtree) but I have him as a flyer in a couple leagues him and Thompson I think are by far the most hyped of the day 3 picks

Re: Keesean Johnson
I don't think he's got much as far as consistency this year, but everyone should be grabbing a piece of this offense going forward and KJ is a good option based on cost and early reports. I don't say that with any confidence in this college system, Kingsbury, or even Murray, but I say that because we are all just hedging our bets to a degree. If this offense takes off then I want to have a piece of it.

Re: Keesean Johnson
Johnson was the best WR in camp for this team. He should see plenty of action this season. Too early to really tell how good he will be but his arrow is pointing up in a big way.
Good routes and hands are more important than straight line speed.

Re: Keesean Johnson
I landed him in the 3rd round of a rookie-draft 12-teamer. He wasn't really a target of mine, but... eh. I guess it doesn't hurt to have a dog in that Kingsbury offense, just in case the hype has merit.
Most optimistic pro comp I have for KeeSean is Jarvis Landry. That is to say, his ceiling comparable.
I worry that KeeSean is a one-speed mover; doesn't have multiple gears to complement his route pace.
I also worry that his versatility will be restricted by Christian Kirk and Fitz both needing to have the lion's share of slot snaps, meaning KeeSean will be relegated mostly to snaps on the boundary, where he's probably not quite fast enough to truly excel in a full-time role.

Re: Keesean Johnson
I see him more as a poor man's Keenan Allen, which isn't a bad thing.
Re: Keesean Johnson
We never got an accurate workout profile for Allen because he was recovering from an injury when he was in the draft process (that 4.7 40 on playerprofiler does not represent reality; Allen was hindered by a PCL injury), but at Cal Allen was notably effective vertically and on the outside, indicating that if he had tested at 100% health, Keenan would probably have run the 40 in the 4.5 range.
Allen also had better play-strength than KeeSean coming out -- I remember Mayock comparing Allen to Anquan Boldin.
Thus, while I'd like to comp KeeSean to Keenan, I don't think I can based on their respective college tape.

Re: Keesean Johnson
That's why I said poor man's. He might not be as good of an athlete, but he seems to be a pretty good route runner and has good hands. They're also not that far in terms of size. Neither are burners, but run smooth and make quick cuts. Just reminds me a little of Keenan when I watch him.ninotoreS wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 10:50 am We never got an accurate workout profile for Allen because he was recovering from an injury when he was in the draft process (that 4.7 40 on playerprofiler does not represent reality; Allen was hindered by a PCL injury), but at Cal Allen was notably effective vertically and on the outside, indicating that if he had tested at 100% health, Keenan would probably have run the 40 in the 4.5 range.

Re: Keesean Johnson
I keep seeing those reports, but KeeSean sure gets preseason play like a backup and you make some good points about him being a better fit in the slot than outside. Could be that he’s blocked. It’s probably Crabs, or maybe even Byrd, on the outside to start the year with the long term plan to have Isabella or Butler take over. Maybe they fade Fitz into more of a complementary role as the season rolls on and KeeSean gets some play there, but maybe not.ninotoreS wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 10:26 am I landed him in the 3rd round of a rookie-draft 12-teamer.
