    before OBJ got hurt last season........ he got off to a slow start. during this slow start, you were down playing his ability. in other words, you were acting like he's not a stud. and then he got hurt for the year, and that's when you blew your top and said you 'regret' drafting a WR who's done nothing but dominate from the moment he stepped into the league lolol

    He s----d when he was playing before being hurt again; plain and simple Timmy. He dominated for what, one regular season or maybe 2. Then dropped passes and lost during his first post season game after going on a vacation the same week of the playoff game. I don’t think you remember but I remember him dropping passes last year when he was playing because I had him on my team so I paid attention.

    You act like he’s a veteran who had a great career when he only had like 1 great year total so far. Antonio Brown and Julio had amazing seasons EVERY season they played. h--- I’d rank Gronk above Odell af this point tbh, and idc for the guy. And I guess you realized how dumb that Rodgers comment was then huh. Timmy is the type of fantasy player who has a top player out for the season but keeps him on the bench instead of dropping him just because he was good the year before. Makes no sense.

    I understand expecting Keenum to have a disappointing performance in that playoff games but I don’t know how anyone could have expected the Eagles to completely dismantle the Vikings D like that.

    Say what ya want bout Case but the Vikes D was by far the biggest choke job and disappointment in that game. Credit to Philly for sure but yea no way they should have got lit up like that.

    I do agree with @dna hits somewhat when it comes to OBJ....he's an immature kid and when he made it to a playoff game he was partying the day before and s----d s--- in the game.

    Don't like him

    I mean I do think he has great potential and is obviously athletic. But he’s too inconsistent to be considered the best. Brown and Julio aren’t dropping passes in big games. Odell does. And yeah he played awful that game which the “best” players don’t do.

    But I’ll say this now, don’t be surprised if Odell has another medicore season and we never hear about the guy again being talked about being top 10. He’ll be a Randall Cobb type player. Not terrible but not elite. I can post a YouTube clip with $300 stick gloves and one hand catch every pass. All nfl wr’s can do that. Timmy is weirdly amused by Odell. I just don’t get it.

    Yea I definitely expected a game closer to our first round game. Like a 13-7 type of game with Keenum blowing it, I never expected us to win in a blow out. It was convincing too because we went up and down the field at will. Griffin didn’t do anything, and Harrison Smith got dismantled. I’m a huge Smith fan because he went to Norte Dame and I thought (still think?) he was better than that, but that was bad. I think Rhodes got toasted a bit too. That game is still so weird to me. Maybe you guys were still on the come down back to reality after that all time ending the week before.

    Yeah I'm over the whole one handed catch thing....Odell is really good, great even sometimes , but the NFL blew up that one handed catch like he's the second coming of Jesus when you see a play like that every single week from top tier recievers.

    you don't have to like him, but you didn't downplay his ability like trent is doing, so i give you props. sports are very straight forward. its very obvious that odell has been a stud since he entered the league, regardless of how he acts.

    @dna hits bringing up dropped passes is silly--because all WR's drop passes from time to time. and i don't care if dna hits thinks that julio or antonio brown are better than OBJ---because these 3 guys are pretty much neck and neck. in other words, they're so close, that you might as well flip a coin to decide which is the best.

    my issue with trent is.........he's acting like OBJ hasn't dominated from the moment he entered the league. OBJ has 10 or more TDs every year he's played besides the year he got hurt and missed the majority of the season.

    He's great. Top tier reciever. I hate his attitude and would take Julio, brown, and my boy green over him...and I think they have better pure ability than he does

    Wrong. and every sport analysts would disagree with you. Antonio and Jones is on a level above Odell. It’s basic sport science basically. Also Aj Green is way more athletic and a freak of nature compared to Odell who’s a lot smaller.

    I would rank between Jones or Brown number one and two. Aj green 3. Mike Evans 4. Jordy Nelson 5. Ty Hilton 6 (plus he has luck coming back and put up
    good numbers without him last year.) Deandre Hopkins 7. Gronk 8.

    Then I would rank maybe Odell or cooks next. Also I would rank Alshon Jeffery up there with maybe above Odell now especially with wentz connecting with him. Don’t be surprised if Jeffery ends up 4-5th best in WR stats, at the end of th3 upcoming season. A lot of fantasy gurus are thinking he could be great.

    And in 2 years I would say Odell will be in the Jarvis Landry, Edelman category. Maybe he’ll prove me wrong, but I highly doubt it.

    I hope you’re trolling

    Nobody in their right mind would take any of these guys over Odell—besides a bias Eagles fan lolol

    So why the f--- would you draft Odell if you think he’s not as good as advertised? especially in a money fantasy football league Lololol

    Now let’s you see try to wiggle your way out of this one Lololol

    This was before he was hurt and I thought his p---- sprained ankle wasn’t going to be a excuse he used. And I wanted brown or bell instead, but they were drafted above my pick. It may have been the pick my computer froze and took the next best available player tbh because it happened during the one online money league where I had to restart my computer.

    And I tried trading Odell before he got hurt because of how bad he was doing. I offered my friend Odell for Keenan Allen and he wouldn’t even accept it lol that just shows you people weren’t interested in Odell once they saw he sucks after the first few games he played

    Lmao. Trent’s history with Beckham is pretty funny tbh. Yeah I certainly get his frustration, but couldn’t help but laugh at his friend rejecting a Beckham for Keenan Allen deal straight up lol.

    @dna hits do you feel Diggs and/or Thielen are getting to be anywhere near Beckham? I saw they were ranked pretty high on yahoo fantasy, both in the high 20s range I think. Beckham was still around 10-12 if I remember right.

    *edit* that’s all fantasy players of course by the way not just WRs.

    Diggs was killing it for me last year in the beginning, but blew it down the stretch. He’s definitely worthy of a pick in fantasy for me. Thielen was great last year, but I wouldn’t take him in fantasy this year just because I don’t think he’s solidified yet. One more great year and he’s a no brainer. All in perspective of course because I’m guessing Thielen goes relatively high in mocks. Of course I’d take him if he slipped a few rounds.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if Diggs or Thielen end up with more fantasy points by the end of the year. Maybe both tbh. Thielen catches a lot of passes and is a good guy to look for in the end zone so it wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up with a Better year. In fact, I expect one of the 2 to finish with more fantasy points than Beckham.

    Diggs is more of deep threat I would say he’s
    easily as athletic as Beckham or even more athletic. Wasn’t his 40 speed time faster than Odell’s? I could be wrong there. Before he was getting hurt some last year, I remember Diggs ranked number 1 for like 2 weeks at the very beginning of the season then Thielen ended
    Up being ranked real high as the season went on. I had them both. But I was in multiple leagues.

    Also forgot to add earlier that I’d probably rank
    Josh Gordon over Odell too.

    Possibly a good sleeper pick this year. People forget he was basically the best WR in the league whatever year that was where he was out 4 games, then the last 12 I think he had better stats than everyone expect maybe Calvin Johnson.

    Also I just looked it up and apparently Diggs and Beckham both had the exact same 40 time, 4.43 seconds.

    A grade WRs ruin rosters anyway with how much you have to pay them. In my mind, they're not worth the money you have to pay them. When's the last time a team with a top caliber WR won a ring? Give me second tier WR's all day.

    You do have a point statistic wise, but there has been teams with great WR cores who won. The Packers in 2011. Broncos winning it with Thomas (A grade wr) during Manning’s super bowl win. The giants had a pretty good wr core when beating the pats those years but i can’t remember if they had a elite receiver atm. The saints 2010 Super Bowl win had Marques Colston who was considered an elite pro bowl WR that year.

    And falcons should have easily beaten the pats having Julio Jones and were like 4tds ahead of the pats going into the 4th.

    In my mind, the only top tier WRs are AB, Julio, OBJ, and Green. I think the Steelers are the only team in recent memory to have a top WR and be a legitimate contender
