HELP, I’m in a 1 keeper redraft league, and last year I had both Jefferson and Amon Ra. Now that Kirk is gone, do we know for sure that Jefferson is going to have the same output he used to have? I’m almost thinking Amon Ra is the safer option with his consistency and QB play, but I know he doesn’t have the same ceiling level. Who do I keep?

Yeah it’s a great problem to have honestly lol

Kirk is generally among the league leaders when it comes to passing statistics year in and year out. Expecting JJ, who is a raw prospect with tons of question marks around his ability to function at the next level to be close to Kirk’s production as a rookie is straight up foolish imo

I think it's fair to note Kirk rarely supported a WR1 until he went to the Vikings, if I'm not mistaken. So it could be more a scheme fit rather than Kirk as a pure passer. I'm not saying he wasn't fantastic in Minnesota, just food for thought.

Could also be very mistaken about the WR1 fact

Purdy wasn't a rookie in 23

Basically, how much do you trust Mccarthy/darnold and how much do you believe in JJ

His first full season

But the point of rookie QBs historically going into terrible situations I every valid. And head coaches have been more apt to let them sling it rather than game manage

Has jefferson?

Or the situation as a whole?

JJMC hasnt had a chance to yet

Jefferson is great that’s not a question. QB is a massive worry and hasn’t shown much in college

risk vs reward

I get it

First full season vs. rookie statistics are much different tho. You have basically two years of experience with the team rather than one offseason

The fact is that rookie QBs almost never produce high end fantasy WRs

And that’s just a top 24 receiver

Narrow that down to top 5 and it basically never happens

I believe in mccarthy if you couldnt tell lol if you are a risk averse player you should prob keep asb

Im a packers fan so i hope youre right

I’m curious what JJMC has shown in college to prove he can produce a top 5 fantasy WR as a rookie lol

Dude was winning when attempting less than 10 passes in a game

He’s elite at handing the ball off. Extremely raw as a passer and operator of a real offense
