Brandon Williams and Deandre Presley injured

I think both have been injured awhile.  IIRC, Williams missed a lot of OTAs?

Here's a recent Rotoworld piece:

Panthers TE Brandon Williams (groin surgery) will be limited when training camp opens next week.
Williams underwent a minor procedure in June and is expected back for the second week of camp. It's a note for preseason DFS players to file away. Williams, a former college basketball player and athletic freak, logged a heavy 58 snaps in last year's exhibition opener and produced 3-50-1. Be sure he's healthy before using him this year. Jul 23 - 10:45 AM

 And from July 23: this on both Williams & Presley

Rivera said two injured players will not be ready when the Panthers begin camp – backup tight end Brandon Williams (groin) and reserve wideout De’Andre Presley (shin splints).

Angelo Wright, Williams’ agent, said Williams underwent minor surgery in June and should be ready by the end of the second week of camp.

Rivera said Presley’s injury is similar to the stress fracture in his left leg that caused him to begin last season on the physically unable to perform list.

Presley missed the first nine games while on the PUP list. He returned to play in four games before ending the season on injured reserve after sustaining a concussion against Cleveland.

If the final WR/TE spot came down to Williams, Bersin and Cotchery, who would you pick? 

Tough not to go for the Crotch every time. Most yards. Higher catch %, Way more plays over 20 yards. 

Plus all the fair catches. Jeeeez.

Swole would be my #2 simply because of the position, But he's not #1 because eventually they are going to pee test him.

Brandon Williams has so much potential, but he hardly ever get any playing time.  Maybe he's not the greatest practice player, but by now I just want to see him on the field.  What's the point of having him on the team any more if he never sees the field?

    • I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.
    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
