Someone tell me that Joshua Palmer will not have a (Nico Collins) breakout year and why?
Athleticism score for Nico was 79 and palmers was 70
To clarify “athletic,” between the two WRs to take a screen 80 yards to the house, I’ll bet on Nico every time.
Fair enough I would agree
I don’t necessarily look for that thought to get me fantasy production but I understand your point
Yeah Palmer isn’t the athlete Nico is. He is a better route runner however.
Still high on the two
This isn’t saying Palmer isn’t going to have a great year, the dude is primed for it given his situation. Nico has just proven he’s a fantasy asset
Will Palmer have a career year? Most likely. Will it be a Nico Collins explosion? Likely not.
Why likely not?
I just don’t get how people can say that lol
What is in his way?
I thought I was clear. Lol
Because he isn’t athletic??
Or as athletic as Nico
That’s all you said
Here’s another point. He needs volume, which the Greg Roman scheme doesn’t really give WRs
He has shown he can produce 100+ games, get in the end zone, catch 10+ passes. Only thing he hasn’t proved is staying healthy
To add, he actually has some low-key competition for target share: McConkey, QJ, Chark. Are these guys great? Not really. Will they be involved? Absolutely.
Nico had tank Dell
Roman scheme is going to rely on the run.
Nico was out two games
McConkey and Palmer are both better in the slot, so idk how he will do on the outside
Play action needs to be a staple in anyone’s playbook. It works across the board
Only reason I bring up tank is because he is better than any of palmers competition
