Clemson WR Justyn Ross is signing with the #Chiefs to their 90-man roster, per source.
Ross led the ACC in receiving as a freshman in 2018, ranked fifth nationally with 21.7 YPC and was second in receiving touchdowns. He also stands 6-3, 210 pounds. High quality addition for

He's remembered only for being a large culprit in the Colts loss with his fumble on special teams, and myriad other gaffes.
Actually, I don't think that IS fair, at all. It ignores all context.
Skyy was a rookie with 4 veterans in front of him. People expecting him to get a lot of snaps and targets were going to be disappointed no matter what. [Reply]

Well I'm hearing he's continuing to drop the ball in practice so :-) [Reply]

I mean that long ball he dropped in Houston, totally the cold weather. [Reply]
Watson doesn't have hands of stone by any means, but pretending his drops were isolated to one game or one weather pattern is the very definition of revisionist history. [Reply]
If Ross and Toney can stay healthy…
If Skyy makes the jump he’s expected to
If James keeps impressing
If Watson/Remigio show anything
If MVS forces defenses to keep a deep safety back
If Rice stays healthy and his impact from camp and game 1 continue into the regular season
If half of that happens, this is quite possibly the best WR corps KC has had in my lifetime…and they are all super cheap.
That group together will extend Kelces career sheerly by workload expectations. [Reply]

It's a lot of 'ifs', but here's the thing-
Veach has gathered so many of them that the chances that more than half fail is pretty damned slim, considering his track record. I mean I would bet on Veach to hit on 50% of just about anything. [Reply]

I would say I can't believe people are still going on about Moore's production, but considering the source it's pretty believable. He was never gonna get much opportunity barring multiple major injuries to our receiving core. [Reply]
He literally said he had to learn all the receiver positions before Reid would play him. I mean, that's your problem with rookie receivers in Reid's system right there in a nutshell.
The real stupidity was fans coming on here and saying that it was because Skyy can't get separation even though he does immediately and often and you can see it every time he runs but that's the new "does he have vision" for wannabe Seth Keysors who want to give hot takes but not do the work. [Reply]
There is tons of potential out there at the WR position. My biggest question mark is if Connor Embree can coach them up. I know he’s a former wideout and has a few years experience assisting with the WR coaching, but can he get the most out of this group of young guys? [Reply]
Saw an old tweet this morning from Dane Brugler saying that if he's healthy, Jusyn Ross is his WR1 in the upcoming 2022 draft. Just for you draftnik types. And for those who deny that this was a thing. [Reply]

I don't know where one drafts Chiefs' receivers, due to the fact that they're so talented, deep, and share the ball with Travis Kelce and the backs. [Reply]

If you can post the tweet. I’d like to check it out. [Reply]

You take whoever is available at the end of your fantasy draft because I don't think it's worth gambling on one early.
I'm hoping that Toney is available late in one of my two leagues. I still think he has a high ceiling although I also expect him to be on the bench due to injury a good chunk of the time. [Reply]
