I got him from building and selling Dickerson. Haven't had much of a chance to play though, so it's only been solos. He reminds me a lot of the AM ceedee when I 1st got him, but better. Havent overthrown him yet and he fights for contested catches. Not a top 3 receiver but definitely a real good #2.  I have him paired with Chad Johnson and they seem to fit really well together

My list so far is the exact same as yours. Haven’t tried dk yet

I haven't tried Dk but just looking at his card he seems to just be clearly the best

Top Tier: D.K. is a straight up goon. It’s almost unfair. he’s hard to press and he makes catches like Parham does. 3 AP combo for DOE and Outside Apprentice is the cherry on top. if they don’t shade their safeties or double him, those C-Routes are automatic for him. He’s probably the only player in the game that’s actually worth his price point right now, which is insane to say because he’s 800K, but it just shows how good he is.

Mid Tier: This one is a toss-up between Larry Legend and Crabtree. It really depends on what you like to do with your offense. Crabtree is great in the slot and gets Slot Apprentice for 1 AP, which in combination with a 2 AP SIE, can be a deadly combo. Crabtree also boasts one of the higher speeds for a WR in the game at 89, so tracking him in the middle of the field is difficult at times. Fitzgerald on the other hand, access on the outside. He’ s also one of the few wideouts that can get DOE and Outside Apprentice for 3 AP total. He’s 6’3, hits the 90 DRR threshold, and has a respectable 88 speed (which is the same as Nick Bosa!), so he’s also extremely dangerous on those C-Routes and deep outside lobs.

Low Tier: Sauce is it. He has good speed, great height, and also hits the 90 DRR threshold. He’s a Larry Legend-lite, in my eyes. He doesn’t get DOE, but he does get Outside Apprentice for 2 ap and SIE. Right now, he’s starting in the slot for me And has been putting in work with SIE. With his 90 DRR, he also allows you to catch your opponent by surprise and switch up to some deep corner and crossing routes with him. For his price point, I think he’s a must have for anyone looking for a new WR for around 150K.

Honorable mention to Courtland Sutton as well, but I know no everyone has him.

Also, as one final comment, if you haven’t tried Antonio Gates as an outside WR with DOE, I urge you to try it out.

Great mini writeup :)

Have you tried Dave Casper at WR? I tried him out and he was INCREDIBLE. Prob better than Antonio Gates at WR imo.

Thanks! I appreciate that!

I actually was running a full TE team for a bit to see how it worked. I had Casper at WR with Gates shading the other side. Let me tell you - it’s as overpowered as it sounds. I also had Ditka and Tony G for my medium and Short route stuff. It seemed to work really well. Only reason I switched from that set up was because I got Metcalf. So now I’m rocking with DK, Casper, and Sauce as my primary WRs.

First time I've heard someone with that WR core! Pretty damn nice! Who do you use at TE right now?

Lmao I may for funsies try Casper, Tony g, jackson, edmunds, parham… they’re All bnd for me

I’m using Tony as my TE1 right now. I have a 40/50 Chiefs TT, so the added stats really help in Keeping him relevant. I run the Chiefs offense and that lets me keep two TEs on the field at all times, typically lined up in the slot. Height seems to be pretty broken this year, not going to lie. Makes for another good counter for man blitz.

Gonna add Megatron when he comes out later :)

Added Megatron :)
