Who starts at WR2 now?

[Cyberjag]

Funyuns is going to be the WR1 for sure.  Is this Samuel's chance or will it be Russell Shepard?  And any predictions on how it changes the way our offense looks?

Sheppard. I picked him up in Fantasy as my flex mainstay, Blount, just got hit with a hammer. I think Samuel likely gets more snaps but overall I haven't seen anything to suggest he is ready to start.

While I agree with the premise that we need more speed on offense, I don't think that the middle of the season in which we are one game out of first place, and currently in wild card position is the time to do it; especially when we get no return.

Hurney is going to sign our #2 wr off a couch somewhere.  Don't worry, he got dis.

Samuel is in no way ready to be a starting WR.   Put that on him....actually hurts him IMO.  He is a project WR.  He can currently can and should be used situationally.  Largely in CMCs role when CMC isn't doing it.

Shepard has done well with the opportunities he's been given so far. An offense with Funchess, Shepard, Samuel/CMC, and a returning Olsen should be plenty if the o-line does their job

I see a problem here.

Yep, that's the idea

Ok but they haven’t been and there’s no magical talent switch to switch on to have them start. Our OL is our OL and this offense depended on players like KB making plays with Cam when the play had broken down

It sure seems like there's a magical talent switch the way that they fluctuate week to week. I think the line did a decent job in pass protection against the Bucs, which is a fairly stout d-line. But then they completely shat the bed against the Bears. They never have an okay game, it's either a good game or a god-awful game.

I’ve talked myself into believing that we should start Samuel at WR2 on the outside.

Im thinking that Ron quote about wanting to simplify things for him is related to using him too much as a gadget player with all the options and reverses and poo. Stick him on the outside and let him concentrate on running routes and being a WR so he can find some rhythm. Add the other stuff in once he gets comfortable.

I have no clue if any of that is true but it’s what I’m choosing to believe.
