Prey-Hype Targets

JCBRAVE · Feb 18, 2013

The following article covers a lot of young up-incoming NFL receivers you might want to make yourself aware of for fantasy football (primarily keeper leagues)

Reason I'm sharing this now is because it features our very own Kendal Wright and Taylor Thompson
(click the link if you wanna read about nobodies you haven't heard of)

Kendall Wright – Titans – WR

If a rookie leads his team in targets and no one notices, does it make a sound? Or something like that. Despite missing Week 16 due to injury, Wright easily led Tennessee with 95 targets. Even more promising is the fact that his role was expanding in the weeks leading up to his injury. He had enjoyed a total of 25 targets during a three-game span covering Weeks 12-to-14. What’s really interesting about Wright is that he only played 55 percent of the Titans’ offensive snaps, running just 65 percent of all possible pass routes. Although he worked primarily as an outside receiver, Wright did most of his damage underneath during his rookie campaign, putting up a 6.5 average depth of target – fifth lowest at the position. With an expanded role, improved quarterback play, and more vertical routes – something he did often (and well) at Baylor, Tennessee’s 2012 first-round pick should be in a breakout sophomore season.

Taylor Thompson – Titans – TE

Jared Cook is headed for unrestricted free agency. There’s a decent chance he will be slapped with the franchise tag, but that’s far from a certainly. If he leaves, Thompson could take over as the team’s primary pass-catching tight end. A fifth-round pick in 2012, Thompson is a massive 6’6/259 ex-defensive end who managed a 4.56 40-yard dash time. Of his 12 rookie-season targets, six came as an in-line tight end, four from the slot, and two after lining up in the backfield. Although he’s unlikely to work as an every-down player with Craig Stevens in the mix, Thompson would see significant snaps on passing downs. That would be enough to put him on the TE2 radar.

Pre-hype?

Ya'll better get on the Weeden train before it leaves Brown Town and heads to Nashville.

Post was automatically rendered obsolete when they suggested that Thompson might actually start next season.

Guy is a mid season pickup off waivers at best.

My favorite Taylor Thompson moment of 2012 was Matt Hasselbeck saying after an interception something like this, "I thought it was Cook. If I knew it was Thompson I wouldn't have thrown it."

That's pretty damning...

LOL I didn't hear that. Hass is a pretty big jokester though, I wouldn't take that seriously.
