Is The WR Corps Better in 2024?

[Velo]

Some Josh Palmer highlights. Palmer runs good routes (KA probably really helped him with that), he can get open, he's physical against DBs, and he has good hands. He's not blazing fast nor super explosive after the catch, and he needs to work on his YAC decision-making.

Can we continue on DJ Chark ?
Is he in progession ?

			445				Career Summary

The 130, 65 and 54 lines are his wr ranking.

Chark is in a good position to have a good year for LAC but I doubt his fantasy ranking takes a leap. He's in a WR group and offense that won't feature him.

Chark averages 35.33 receptions and 511.5 yards per season. I don't see any reason to expect much more or less than that.

Chark averages 35.33 receptions and 511.5 yards per season. I don't see any reason to expect much more or less than that.

His career catch percentage is 55% after six seasons. Not very impressive. However it does happen that mediocre WRs are elevated by an elite QB because their respective skills work together well. I don't know, we'll see.

This is what I like about Josh Palmer. Always asking questions. Always wanting to learn. Always wanting to improve his game.

There's a difference between being mediocre and having a mediocre record.

He averages 14.5 ypc and 4 TDs per year. His speed is good.

We can use his average. If he's better with Herbert, Great!

The Chargers have had some outstanding and legendary receivers over the history of their franchise.

Lance Alworth (hof)
Gary Garrison
Charlie Joiner (hof)
Kellen Winslow (hof)
Wes Chandler
John Jefferson
Anthony Miller
Antonio Gates (hof - future)
Vincent Jackson
Keenan Allen (maybe hof?)
Mike Williams

This off-season we said goodbye to one of the best WR duos this franchise has ever had. We move forward with a depth chart of young players at receiver, most of whom have yet to prove their worth (or lack thereof) in the NFL. Who will be the next franchise WR for the Chargers?

Ladd McConkey?
Joshua Palmer?
Quentin Johnston?
Son of Jerry Rice?
Cornelius Johnson?
Derius Davis?
DJ Chark?
A player not yet on the roster?

This off-season we said goodbye to one of the best WR duos this franchise has ever had - both of them are gone. We move forward with a depth chart of young players at receiver, most of whom have yet to prove their worth (or lack thereof) in the NFL. Who will be the next franchise WR for the Chargers, who equal or better KA or MW?

Ladd McConkey?
Joshua Palmer?
Quentin Johnston?
Son of Jerry Rice?
Cornelius Johnson?
Derius Davis?
DJ Chark?
A player not yet on the roster?

Assuming good health, McConkey and QJ.

It's the slowest part of the NFL season, and football have to justify their existence, so they cook up a lot scenarios that have no basis in reality but write about them anyway.

Several stories out there say they are in the mix to trade for Cee Dee Lamb, who's in a contract dispute with the Cowboys and is reportedly seeking $32M per for four years.

And one writer is saying the Chargers could acquire WR Dyami Brown, who has been a big disappointment for WFT in the NFL since he was drafted 5 spots after Josh Palmer in 2021. If WFT acquires Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel, Dyami Brown could be traded or released, or even released if they don't acquire a 49ers' WR.

We are set at WR. RB’s and TE’s will be receivers as well. Chargers don’t need another mega salary cap busting WR to replace the ones we let go so the team could get needed depth elsewhere.

I don't believe we're specifically looking for a WR. I think Harbaugh is happy with what we have currently. That could change.

I see Palmer, QJ, Ladd, Chark, DD and Rice making the 53.

Rookie camp starts in a week, full team TC on the 23rd. We'll get some updates on the position groups in the near future.

Meanwhile Hortiz & Co have their fingers on the pulse of everyone around the NFL. A player they like could show up on their scope at a relatively cheap price.

Kinda funny that the same people that think QJ is going to live up to his draft position this year still think we need to sign a superstar receiver.
