But, that’s fine - he’s a 6th round guy who was a cheap/free stash so if he can just maintain ANY sort of relevance in the NFL, that’s a win.

He had that one super ugly bobbling body catch but the rest of his catches showed some seemingly strong and sure mits. Not a crazy leaper, but he was aggressive at the catch point. Not a burner, but fast enough given his size.

He reminds me of Alshon from 2-3 years ago (not the elite Alshon we saw for about 18 months so long ago, but not the dead-WR-walking Alshon that probably exists now). Latter-day Dez would be another comp.

As some have said, even if Reagor is the truth, there is room for Fulgham to be the WR2 in Philly. JJAW appears to be a surefire bust, and I don’t expect DJAX or Alshon to be there in 2021.
He also looked like a former eagles out there - Mack Hollins.

Mack Hollins? The guy with a career high of 64 yards receiving?

If it is a relatively deep league with large rosters then I would say all of it. I know my 12 team 30 man roster It is nearly impossible to find young player that just broke out. What are you saving it for?

Was just offered a 3rd for him on a 1qb rebuild. Keep Fulgham or take the pick?

I’d hold for that.

Still wondering how this guy got cut by the Lions AND Packers, and now suddenly looks amazing in Philadelphia. Not that the Lions are some awesome organization, but even with Green Bay and their need for WRs, did they not see anything?

Hell, even the Eagles cut him too.

Just really interesting.

Not sure if this is the reason or not but some guys just don’t look good at practices. I know Coaches on the 49ers used to talk about Jeff Garcia looking awful in practice. Then come game time he just found a way to make it happen.

GB? The team that drafted a 2nd round RB and a TE/FB hybrid in the 3rd instead of a single WR in the deepest 4 star WR class of all time?

Spent all of my remaining waiver money on him for this season. Im 0-5 and in a rebuild, definitely will not need that money to contend so i figured why not spend the money on a dart throw. As someone else pointed out you dont find guys who have games like this on the waiver wire very often.

Yeah, color me skeptical. Perfect storm waiver add though, no doubt. D'Ernest Johnson says hi.

D’Ernest Johnson is behind Chubb and Hunt for the foreseeable future. Fulgham would only have Reagor, Ward,and Goedert to compete with for targets in the foreseeable future.

Possibly - depends if all of the rookie wideouts are any threat at some point, seems like you think no. That's fine, who the hell knows. JJAW seems like he's a already a bust though, too bad.

If you think any owner is going to give you Mattison for Fulgham you are more out of touch than I already thought.

Ya never know.. but Watkins and Hightower have been very unimpressive up to this point despite being given opportunity.

When you consider the degree to which Fulgham broke out -- 2nd most receiving yards vs PIT since Gronk in 2017, first PHI WR with more than 85 receiving yards in 9 games, the fact that this came against a solid pass defense and that it was the result of 13 targets rather than a couple freak long TDs... I'd be surprised if he just disappeared into the ether after this game.

It also wasn't just one game. He played ok in his first game as well, which likely built confidence for himself and from wentz. His competition is pretty minimal while Djax, Alshon, Goedert, and reagor are all sidelined. Someone has to catch passes and hightower/Watkins/jjaw don't seem to do much of that.

He was just sold for a 3rd in one league shortly after the waiver.
