Adjustment going forward- Funch should start with Ted Ginn at 3

Every time Ginn is on the field whether he is going to catch it or not, you have to know where he is , and be ready to help over the top.  Lots of Ginn plays opened up the middle and the seams for everyone else.   He is still brings a dimension that KB and Funchess don't.  If he got his foot in on the touchdown that was called back, Ginn would have had 100+ yards and a touchdown.  Ginn is the #2.

With Ginn you have to take the good with the bad. He offers a dynamic that no other WR we have active can match. His pure speed creates space for Benjamin and Greg to work underneath. He backs off the safety pressure every play and softens up the middle of the field because the secondary has to assume he's going to the endzone every route.

It's a common mistake to think that if a player doesn't put any statistics in the column that they didn't contribute. It's not always the case.

i like funchess, but from what i gather he's more of a possession receiver thus far.  very situational.  not sure what you could take away from yesterday that would make you think that differently.  ginn, for all the hate i give him for hands of stone, puts a lot of pressure on defenses by simply being out there.  funch, not so much, unless we are 3rd and long or red zone.

I love FunFun as much as the next guy. But this is really about Kelvin Benjamin and Greg Olsen more than it is about Devin Funchess vs Ted Ginn. 

Ted spreads the defense out at the start of the play. This also helps out the running game. Like @Jeremy Igo said, the whole "Starting" thing really isn't a big deal. Its about the gameplan. Kelvin Benjamin has just been a matchup NIGHTMARE for opposing Defenses. I've seen a couple of interesting sets where Funchess was lined up as the 2nd TE and I thought that was interesting. Devin will be fine... its really just about matchups.

Then there's this too...

nfl lists Funchess as the starter and he had the most snaps of any receiver. Did the panthers stop providing the pff game books or is there another way to confirm if Funchess did or did not start? 

 

an important thing to remember is that 1,2, and 3 are only fantasy designations. x,y, and z are receiver positions and they have different roles and  line up differently.

Philly is a better slot reciever ans a better route runner and is better in the short passing game.

Can't agree with this anymore.  Ginn can run every route now, and run them well.  Not many people give him that credit, but he's a much different receiver since his first stint here in 2013.
