*The Wideout Weekly - dropbear - 02-18-2018

The Wideout Weekly will be my weekly-ish look at the DSFL wide receivers, as I try to objectively rank them throughout the season and leading up to the S7 NSFL draft.

I will not only review game performances, I will keep a running tally of total TPE (and WR-related attributes) and post count so that players can be compared outside of the sim as well (you're welcome GMs).

The S6 DSFL wide receiver class (in order of draft position) are: TPE, Attributes and Post Tracker

Note: rather than track total TPE and post count, I will be tracking their changes over time. This is in part because I am a recreate, and thus have a highly inflated post count, and also because it will help paint a picture of a user's activity over time.

Analysis and Rankings
Analysis
Don't put too much stock into wins and losses during the preseason, as GMs are typically employing strategies you wouldn't see in the regular season.

The San Antonio duo of Footballer Catcherman and Jeff Taven appear to be a great combination for the Marshals, as they are #1 and #2 for catches respectively and #1 and #3 for receiving yards.

Miller got off to a slow start but bounced back with a respectable game in the second week. Notably, his YPC is consistently high, meaning he makes the most of the opportunities he gets.

Similarly, DeMarco hasn't seen a whole lot of action, but with the leading YPC on 5 catches, he appears to be a target that can make things happen for his offense.

Mark Grau and DeAndre Green are yet to see the playing field.

Rankings
I'd like to reiterate that preseason is a time for trying out things you wouldn't otherwise see in the sim, so the stats you see above won't play as big a role in the rankings as they will in later weeks.

So, without further ado, here are my DSFL Wide Receiver Rankings through preseason weeks 1 & 2:

1. Howard Miller (KCC): Perhaps a bit biased, but with a 114 TPE lead on the nearest competitor and an middle-of-the-pack performance in the preaseason, I feel it's warranted.

2. Mark Grau (POR): A player who hasn't played a single snap being ranked #2?! As I said, stats aren't too important right now. What is important is that in just three days, @keanex has racked up 21 additional TPE for Grau on top of the starting creation TPE, leapfrogging his opponents into second place overall for TPE by a comfortable margin of 14. Also, being under the tutelage of @PDXBaller is a huge plus.

3. Footballer Catcherman (SA): Equal second in TPE and a dominant showing in the preseason. I'll certainly be keeping my eye on @cpetrella throughout the year. A little low on activity, but if he springs to life in the regular season, he could be a top receiving prospect for S7 in the NSFL.

4. Jeff Taven (SA): If it weren't for the fact that @TetrisTech was active on Discord, I likely would have had him lower. Being around in the leadup to the draft and still not having his player up over the initial 50 TPE is concerning, but his strong preseason performance and activity elsewhere in the league is enough to get him into 4th place.

5. Dustin DeMarco (TIJ): Although he was kept relatively quiet during the preaseason, when @Ramrod18 got the ball in his hands he made things happen. With that said, 55 hands?! Damn man, you gotta give your guy a chance! I think if his catching abilities increase before the regular season starts, DeMarco will be a force to be reckoned with.

6. DeAndre Green (Free Agent): Last but not least is Green, who is awaiting being claimed. With little else to go off, I like Green's starting build, and feel that he's set himself up with a strong base from which to improve. I'm excited to see what @GridironGang can do this season.

Yeah dude PDX is such a good GM. He's like the Greg Popovich of the NSFL.
