Mainly I just want to know who is expected to get the ball more between Speedy Noil and Josh Reynolds?

In this league I can start 3 WR's and one WR/TE/RB.
I have Laquon Treadwell and Nelson Spruce from Colorado (106 catches, 1198 yards, 12 TDs last year) who are locked in as starters. I also have De'Runnya Wilson who I'd like to work into my starting roster, leaving room for one of the Texas A&M guys. Who should I go with?

At QB, I can start 2 players in this league. I have Deshaun Watson, Kyle Allen and Anu Solomon from Arizona. Watson is locked in for me as long as he's healthy. Rushing stats are worth twice as much as passing stats, which is the only thing making me think twice about putting him over Allen.
Is Allen for sure going to start, how mobile is he, and what kind of numbers do you expect? If he actually starts I feel confident his passing numbers should double up Solomon's rushing numbers, making it worth it to start Allen.

Speedy's a safe bet, and Josh Reynolds tends to score a lot, but don't sleep on Christian Kirk. True fish who has turned a LOT of heads in fall camp and should make an impact this year. Speedy will likely attract a lot of defensive attention, too.

Yes.

MUCH more mobile than you'd think. He gets billed as the "pocket passer" because he's not Manziel and has Kyler Murray as his backup, but he can scoot. Not gonna take it to the house from 60+, but is more than capable/willing to tote it for a brutal 10-20 if the defense sleeps on him (and the way he can spin it, they may have to pick their poison and allow him to do just that).

Make no mistake: I think Allen will light it up this year in multiple categories. If you're looking for one TAMU offensive guy, I'd go with him, Kirk, or Speedy, in that order.

Thanks bro

I don't think anybody drafted Kirk, so he's a guy I'll keep an eye that I could claim if any of my current WRs get hurt. I really like the WRs I have, and am already at the limit for this league, so I probably won't cut any of my guys for him.... unless you'd recommend cutting Reynolds or Noil in favor of Kirk

Mmmmm, damn.....idk if I can recommend that. I think our WRs are going to take a big step forward from a toughness/production standpoint this year, due to the renewed emphasis on the run game Christensen brings, as well as the physical corner/saftey play they've had to face with Chavis as the DC in practice. Still, our offense will remain predicated upon what the defense gives us, and that will probably change from week to week.

If you're looking to stay on the safe side, I'd keep Reynolds and Noil. Primarily because they have experience in this scheme and the implicit trust of their QB (plus, Reynolds is my boy from SAtown, and Noil is a damn freak, so you gotta think both of them will be poised to contribute just as much, if not more, this year than last).

If you're not scared of taking a lark on someone, I'd do it on Kirk, though. It'll be interesting to see how he performs when the live bullets start to fly, but by all accounts he's been the guy that's been pushing the upperclassmen to keep their game on point.

The "Gorillaz" of Aggie yore may be back this year

ETA: Oh, and defer to anything tmc94 says over me. He knows his shite

I'd play Reynolds every day he was healthy. He is Allen's favorite target. With his size he's also a great red zone threat so he gets a lot of TDs but he exploded down the stretch when Allen took over at QB.

Also rather have Kirk than Speedy
