Which of these would you run as your Slot WR? And why? Thanks, fam. Happy turkey day to all who celebrate. 🦃

  1. Tank Dell Blitz, 92 SPD
  2. Jimmy Lightning Smith AKA, 92 SPD
  3. Marvin Mims Blitz, 91 SPD 
  4. Randy Moss, 93 SPD (49ers TT)
  5. Kyle Pitts Unstoppable, 90 SPD

I was using Pitts, until last evening, then switched to Tank Dell.  Loved throwing to that fast, but 6'6" big bodied receiver (Kyle Pitts), but leaning towards Lightning at the moment. Appreciate any comments, suggestions or feedback.

I think I would go with Dell or Jimmy Smith. I like my slot wr to be a good route runner and both are better than Pitts in their route running ratings. Not sure if Pitts x-factor changes that though.

Wow, Lightning is balling out, huge upgrade over Pitts. I've been missing out. Thank you for the recommendation.

Finally got 50 wins and unlocked Mims, but already managed to pick up those two new receivers above, so this is hardly necessary. Although a very good card (Mims) especially for an 89. Basically the same as Lightning, minus 1 SPD and a couple inches, I think.

No problem. 

Yeah that Mims looks decent. Don't know how he plays though as he had more value to me as coins than as a receiver

Someday hopefully I'll get my AH access restored, oof. Been missing out on a huge aspect of the game.  /sigh

I'm rooting for you. I can't imagine what I would do without the auctionhouse

Uggh, I'm feeling pretty grimy lately, doing dastardly things to acquire cards. 😈

I've been running Clayton and he's been stopping on a dime. He's tiny though. From your list, that Tank looks great. I've was going back and forth trying to decide on him. Decided against because I just had to scoop Tippman with Blitz Boltz to upgrade MF Zach Martin. That 88 SPD and 90 ACC makes for a ridiculous 92 Impact block. With 99 Madden in tow, I was running around like crazy last night

J-E-T-S theme team? I didn't realize how incredible he (Tippman) was, I kind of wanted Russ Grimm for 1AP Linchpin, wanted to try that instead of Gift Wrapped on my QB, not too many decent 1AP options on offense. I only have one good Guard, Will Shields Legends at RG from last Comp Pass. Rotating various OTs OOP at LG to see what works, have a few. Harvest Havenstein RT is no joke for an 89 BND. 

And I've been running Madden OOP as TE1, he's incredible. No DB in the entire game can keep up with him. It's rather degen. Limited time only, I couldn't resist after someone did that to me.

Glad to hear you were rumbling over folks with your big boys. I try to get Kittle's Vanguard going, after throwing him a series of Drag routes.

I was running Kelce  in the slot with apprentice.  But with my AP on the qb I no longer run apprentice.  

I had Lightning, but I sold him when he was more valuable.  He did impress me as I thought he would for me.

Havenstein destroys bro. I just commented that on his card page lol. His OVR lies. I haven't tried Madden at TE yet. I was going to switch up the depth chart mid game, but saw his catching wasn't all that high so I abandoned the plan. I'll give it a go. I run the Jets offense and the TE crossing plays are money if you've got the time to let them develop.  I run Vanguard on my TE as well. I'm slowly learning. I was trying to do everything I could to figure out how to run!

Don't allow that 63 Catching stat to scare you away, especially if you throw streaks or even drags. Just allow big John to get going, you can Touch Pass Lead out in front... heave it up there and give him time to run under it, he'll pull away from everyone else for big one-play TDs. It's pretty incredible.

If all else fails, at least try John at TE2, for some multi-TE formations. I've been Dragging Kittle across the formation, while sending John on a streak, it's been hilariously fun. Good luck!
