#166 -- Quintez Cephus (DET) -- 6 catches, 97 yards

#168 -- John Hightower (PHI) -- 7 catches, 57 yards

 

Looks to me like Hightower is doing fine for where he was selected.

How many snaps all those players have ?

Tyler Johnson didn't play at all the first few games...and he is teams 5th WO

I hear what you're saying and there's a reason he was a 5th round pick.  Why do we always have to wait for Eagles WR to learn how to play in the NFL?  I just go back to other rookie WRs making plays when given the chance.  I just don't get it.  For once, I want to see an Eagles rookie WR just prove he belongs right out of the gate.  

Watch Reagor then.

I'd be curious to see snap counts on those guys vs. Hightower.

I'm waiting to do so.  No update on when we will see him on Sundays.

Hightower has more snaps, but he has 7 catches in 15 targets, Cephus is 6 catches in 13 targets, Collin Johnson is 5 catches in 10 targets, Tyler Johnson is 4 catches in 6 targets.

If you want to criticize him for volume vs snap counts, there has been All-22 clips shown here where he has been open but the ball doesn't come his way.  If it's thrown to him he catches it on par with these other guys.

The nice thing about Fulgham is that he didn’t just play the X. He was the Z and the slot. Was used at all depths of the field. Maybe he tops out as a versatile backup, but that’s OK for a waiver wire grab.

I think about 3 more weeks but I'm only guessing.

Probably the best fit in terms of carries he’d get. I like singletary but Le’veon if he’s not washed up is a better RB than singletary. With the chiefs he’s splitting carries with CEH. Dolphins only make sense cause he lived in Miami in the offseason. Really he’s an upgrade over Breida and gaskin and Howard but they don’t really have a chance to win anything major

I had an inkling that Hightower might be more 9f a body catcher.

He's been getting open at least, that's half the battle.

Time will tell if he can become more a hands catcher as we go.

If he wants a ring, KC but I think their backs are just fine.  His receiving skills would be huge in Buffalo and make them a serious contender.  If he wants money and lifestyle, Miami is the choice.

He’s also playing in a Bruce Arians offense that made beshard perriman look good for five games and made him some nice coin

This comes back to when I talked about people having absurd and unrealistic expectations for late round picks just being productive as rookies especially in a pandemic off-season. For every Darius Slayton who has great numbers as a rookie as a late round pick there’s about 20-30 wide receivers that struggle to have consistency week to week at the wide receiver position as a late round pick.

Also playing behind Evan's, Godwin ,Miller and watson...and brate ,gronk.

He just wont see many snaps when team is healthy, they have been banged up at receiver position , only reason he has seen the field...dont get me wrong I like the player.

 

Only reason perriman saw the ball so much last year,wo injuries.

I put in this out yesterday since week one CEH has had 46 carries for just 166 yards which is 3.6 yards per carry. And he’s not been good inside the red zone. I’m assuming that’s why Kansas City is interested in signing bell. Probably would help in the goal line situation and allow CEH more time to acclimate to the offense and not have to be heavily relied on when he is struggling at the moment

Not trying to turn this into anything other than a football player died discussion.

That’s the only reason why Tyler Johnson was playing was cause godwin was out for two weeks and he was their slot receiver. Yet again you have yet to disprove playing in a Bruce Arian where he’s shown even in Arizona to make minimal wide receivers look decent. That was my point.  Hence even last year Miller and Watson looked decently good because of Bruce Arians and his offense

I get it.  Just sticks out like a sore thumb.   

Did anyone ever watch NFL Rocks on VHS?   Was Dean the guy who yelled at his mom for putting too much salt in the pound cake?

Yeah his three best seasons of his career came when Bruce Arians was the head coach
