Has the Laviska Shenault Jr trade already paid for itself?

DJ Moore had been money for me in fantasy the two years prior but this year is dildos. I'm disappointed in some of his effort as has been discussed but I am putting this 70/30 or 80/20 on the scheme and playcalling McAdoo has to figure it out or hit the bricks.

Yeah, the Panthers just don't have good fantasy players so far. The odds of that getting better aren't great. Just a completely dysfunctional looking offense.

No, that's exactly what I mean. I wouldn't make a gamble on a WR for a team that has a bottom 5 passing offense. Too much risk. 

Better off doing the high flying offense/lower usage WR, injury replacement or match up opportunity gambles. 

Not trying to jack the thread, but seeing is believing...my problem. Because we have three WR spots, atwo TE spots and a flex WR/TE spot, the waiver wire is brutal. I just have to make dart throws.  I have two spots to fill. I can do Logan Thomas if I have to in the flex, but that still leaves only Hill and Pickens, with one spot to fill. 1609607380_Screenshot_20220928-124324_YahooFantasy.thumb.jpg.0a3a3080f4c2cac2809491e917d33117.jpg

3 WR, 2 TE AND a Flex?? JFC. That is brutal.

Yeah, I mean in that scenario, it's just largely blind gambling. Pick someone that is in the top 4 WR's on a decent offense ans hope for the best. Maybe look at utilization rates vs. production and see if there is something that doesn't quite match up that could change.

I mean, people are acting like the guy was completely invisible his first 2 years with the Jags. With some of the talk about him you would think he had 15 catches for 250 yards.  His only 2 seasons in the NFL hes gone over 600 yards receiving both years, with around 60 catches both seasons.

2020 - 58 receptions, 600 yards, 5 TDs

2021 - 63 receptions, 619 yards, 0 TDs (already did better than that here on 2 catches)

He has shown he can get catches and be a productive member of an offense.  I think he could do the same type of things here. 

619 yards, 0 TDs off of 100 targets isn’t good.     

and him not being able to run routes well and get open is what landed him here.  It’s isn’t a huddle creation. 

he seems like a fine football player.  Weak WR.   It’s why you have to scheme the ball in his hands.

Yeah, the entire Jags organization was a complete mess last year, awful coach, and a rookie QB.  The year before that he had 5 TDs, and hes already scored here on 2 catches.  And 60 catches and 600 yards doesn't put him in the "weak" category to me.  He's a good 2 or 3 WR, which is exactly what he will be here.

Production relative to your targets matters.  

and as you said the Jags were a mess and now have a good HC.  And that good HC didn’t want him.  And now the pass game in Jacksonville is working with different bodies. If he was a good 2 he would be in Jacksonville and not depth on the Panthers. 

there are a lot of good football players that are weak NFL WRs.  Atlanta has one.  He is a great football player.  And that is what Atl asked him to do.   Not be a true WR.   And it works.

i mean its not rocket science. guy ran a 4.6 and is heavy. i dont imagine him shaking any corners off their coverage or blowing the top of any defenses. but 4.6 is adequate with his size in contact 1 on 1 situation. hes built for contact. personally he should be our number 2 rb.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
