What do you guys think about smooth routes himself? Is he the #1 in Detroit now? Can he be trusted as a weekly starter?
I want to say no but the numbers don’t lie, 7 receptions on the last 2 weeks with 28 combined targets… That sounds like a #1 to me. Two things worry me, first the amount of mouths to feed and second Stafford can be unreliable at times. Opinions? Should I be starting Golladay next week?
I think he has been good enough and the matchup is good enough to start him, but it of course depends on your other options.
Tate has had same number of targets in that time FWIW.
Tate, sanders or gollada ROS
Don’t think you can call him the No.1 there, I still believe that is Tate. But can he be trusted as a weekly starter? I think so. Detroit’s lack of a pass-catching tight end coupled with the fact that they’re going to have to throw the ball a ton this year makes me believe Tate, Golladay, and Marvin Jones will all be valuable this year. We’ve seen it already through the first 2 weeks.
