Mofome Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Who he is: Saints signed Rutgers WR Brandon Coleman.Coleman (6-foot-6, 225) tied Rutgers' school record for career touchdown receptions (20) before declaring for the draft as a redshirt junior. He averaged 19.2 yards per catch on 94 grabs. Despite vertical-receiver college stats and a massive catch radius (34-inch arms), Coleman is a buildup-speed player whose game will have to change. He needs to learn how to use his body to shield defenders, because he won't be running by NFL defensive backs. Alshon Jeffery successfully made similar changes in Chicago. Ultimately, Coleman is a project whose outlook could range anywhere from Plaxico Burress to Ramses Barden.Sat, May 10, 2014 09:34:00 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mofome Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Why he matters: Saints coach Sean Payton singled out second-year WR Brandon Coleman as the player who's impressed him most in training camp.It's to the point where Coleman is worth owning in pretty much every league. He has big-league size (6'6/225), adequate speed (4.56), and a place in three-receiver sets in a Drew Brees-quarterbacked offense that has lost well over 300 passing-game targets from 2014. With Jimmy Graham gone to Seattle, Coleman's target competition consists of diminutive Brandin Cooks, declining 32-year-old Marques Colston, 34-year-old Ben Watson, and injured C.J. Spiller.Source: Britt McHenry on Twitter Aug 19 - 8:29 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepy Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 nelson agholor think he will get lots of playing time plus the Eagles tend to run a lot more plays than most other teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mofome Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Absolutely, he's a guy getting drafted early, this is a guy who isn't getting drafted at all. I'll hope to get Agholor in a league or two. He's nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAKEPEAVY21 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 not a fan of rookie receivers in FF although last year many had great seasons...a couple of deep sleepers this year could be Eddie Royal and Stevie Johnson...both will see a lot of balls this year and would be nice late value in PPR leagues. I also expect Jordan Mathews to have a big season but he is not a sleeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deemer Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Everyone moved Royal up once White got injured. Like Bennent more And Olaen due to obvious injuries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobyTyler Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I watched Coleman a lot at Rutgers. not sure he can separate off line but once he gets going with those long strides he moves. not nearly the sleeper as Coleman but a guy to keep eye on is Breshard Perriman. knee issue right now but supposedly not serious. had some 'hands' issues last year maybe mental. Josh Gordon comparisons. good situation in Balt with door open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAKEPEAVY21 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Everyone moved Royal up once White got injured. Like Bennent more And Olaen due to obvious injuriesyep the white injury coupled with Cutler/Royal having success in the past...Chicago will also likely not be very good so a lot of passing late in games when they are behind. Any thoughts on Maclin for KC guys? We all know no KC WR had a td last year..Maclin is going somewhere around round 5-7 in most mocks.

JAKEPEAVY21 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 What about Steve Johnson?I mentioned him in post #7...word out of camp in SD is that Johnson looks very good/great shape and is working well with Rivers...looks like he will be the slot receiver and could catch a lot of balls this year.

Mofome Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 TryNick ToonThe New Orleans Times-Picayune believes Brandon Coleman is locked in as the Saints' No. 3 receiver.Per reporter Larry Holder, Coleman has been a mainstay with Marques Colston and Brandin Cooks in three-receiver sets, and there's "no reason to believe" that will change. Coleman spent surprisingly little time with the first-team offense in last weekend's preseason opener, but coach Sean Payton has promised that will change against the Patriots on Saturday. Having left Nick Toon in the dust, Coleman is an interesting WR5 flier in re-draft leagues.

Mofome Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Brandon Coleman, Brandin Cooks, and Marques Colston worked as the Saints' first-team three-receiver package at Saturday's practice.It's notable that Coleman ran with the ones after he was relegated to special teams in New Orleans' preseason opener. It's also notable in that Coleman may have passed Nick Toon, something beat writers have been alluding to possibly happening. Coleman is in prime position to become a fantasy sleeper. Colston is running out of gas and Cooks -- while talented -- is unproven. Aug 15 - 7:17 PMSource: Larry Holder on Twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayGolden Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Travis Benjamin is going to have a lot of big plays this year IMO He is not going to give you 8 catches a week so maybe not so valuable in PPR leagues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Square Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Michael Crabtree in Oak may be in for a solid season esp in PPR lagues. Cooper will get majority of the attention and Oak should be behind more often then not leading to some heavy passing numbers for Carr.
