Do we think Jamo is going to be more consistently involved this season?

He’ll be a top 12 fantasy wr.

That’s a bold prediction.

It seems tough, especially in PPR leagues. It seems like there are just guys on worse teams who are going to see the ball a lot more.

it pisses me off that they’re finally realizing how good he is on slants just now.

Jamo is the type of player who will not be happy and cry foul if he’s not heavily involved. They will need to feed him the ball to keep him happy.

Just a follow up - what indications have we had of this? I feel like he has not been a ‘complainer/diva’ type when it comes to targets. He seems to be a willing blocker - has he complained in the past? I can’t remember him doing that.

One ball.

ARSB, Gibbs, JAMO, LaPorta “should” get the Lion’s share of touches. But I think the distribution is going to be inconsistent based on matchups.

I love Jamo in best ball because he will hit in games this year.

I am a little hesitant in redraft because you have to guess which games are going to showcase his talents.

With that said there’s only so many balls to go around and Petzing loves to use his TE’s. Laporta should have an uptick in catches as a result.

Gibbs is supposed to be used more in the passing game and Petzing loves to draw up the short yardage stuff so I believe this will happen.

TeSlaa is expected to be more involved too. So who’s giving up the catches?

The Lions were 5th last year in completions per game with 23. The NFL leading team was 25. I expect them to be better offensively this year than last but Goff has never averaged more than 24 a game. So how many more balls can we realistically expect to be available for Jamo?

Point being is I do not think he will have many more catches than he did last year unless there’s injuries to our other starting receivers.

So can he be more efficient?

Well he’s averaged 17 yrds per catch the last two seasons. He was second best in the league at yards per catch last year. That’s pretty damn good and I doubt he can improve on that much.

My conclusion:

I think he finishes the season with 1000+ yards. Between 63-70 catches. So I’m expecting a similar season to last. Maybe slightly improved or slightly worse. His only chance at doing better than that is if ARSB misses significant time with injury.

With all this in mind I think ARSB’s catches decline a little this year.

I agree with most of this except Jamo complaining. I feel like he has been pretty solid in that area. But could be forgetting some complaint he had voiced.

As far as Tesla. I mean what teams has 3 WR a TE and a RB all killing it in the passing game. The Lions are loaded with premium NFL talent on offense. I am not sure what we really expect from Tesla. And do not get me wrong, I like him as a player a lot. But it is kind of a numbers game at this point.

@Spartansd

And there is almost zero chance he gets more than 120 targets unless ARSB and/or LaPorta get injured

We have the best problem any offense can have; not enough balls to go around.

Studs 3 deep at WR.

Studs 3 deep at TE.

Studs 3 deep at RB. Vaki just keeeeeeps getting these freak, freakin injuries…but, he can catch the ball out of the backfield.
