AxeElf 787 Posted October 11, 2020 I had a league where I coulda kept Mostert on my IR list for another week, but this last-minute uncertainty about the Titans game (and my Derrick Henry) forced me to activate Mostert this week and drop a guy I had picked up as a lottery ticket for my IR guys last week--yep, you guessed it, Chase Claypool. Guess I should go drop a COVID nod in the FU thread this week... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually got him in the third round of a 14 team rookie draft this year. Insane he fell that far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stonewall 647 Posted October 18, 2020 So, with Diontae out again tomorrow, who's gonna try to catch lightning in a bottle with Claypool again? If so, what are you realistically expecting, and who are you starting him over? I am considering starting him over Hollywood Brown tomorrow and love his upside, but also realize that his floor is low. Of course, on the positive side, Claypool is facing a Browns D that gives up the second most FF points to receivers. However, even with Diontae out, both Smith-Schuster (34) and Washington (32) ran more routes than the 23 that Claypool ran last week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think read somewhere Cleveland gave up a lot of those points to the slot. But I still think he could go 4-100 and a TD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rallo 132 Posted October 18, 2020 The real test will be when DiJo returns, and his effectiveness... regardless, I don't think that Chase is going anywhere and foresee some frustrating games for ff owners who have Pit WRs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
