However, you cannot have him usurping a valuable roster spot when it is not even clear whether Oakland will allow him to return this season. Though he's undoubtedly a markedly improved receiver from his early years in the NFL , Heyward-Bey is one of the more frustrating players to own in fantasy. His overall numbers last season, 64 receptions for yards and four touchdowns, were career highs and placed him 29th among wide receivers fantasy-wise. However, he could not be relied upon weekly to put up consistent numbers.
There were three separate instances last season where Heyward-Bey got the starting nod and came away with five yards receiving or less. While those failures can be partially mitigated with his three yard performances, one of those came in Week 17 when most leagues have already concluded.
If Heyward-Bey was a consistent force and a top-tier receiver, you obviously keep him until the bitter end. Unfortunately, he's an inconsistent enigma that vexes owners to the point that you're never comfortable putting him in the starting lineup.
Considering that the Oakland speedster was probably any owner's third-best receiver or starter at a flex spot, his absence will likely have owners scouring the open market. Luckily, there are still some values available that not only should help teams going forward, but make Heyward-Bey an obvious drop candidate. If you're looking for a similarly inconsistent, yet explosive receiver, the Cincinnati Bengals' Andrew Hawkins is available in If it doesn't work, hey, you took a chance.
It will be interesting to see how the Colts line up in two wide-receiver sets. This much is certain. Wayne starts. Somebody asked on Twitter if that could be stated as fact. Yes, it can. Wayne is still a Pro Bowl WR. You don't sit him. The early hunch is Heyward-Bey and Hilton will alternate at the other starting WR slot when they are in two-receiver sets. This is why the team has training camp and preseason games.
Such roles sort themselves out. He's got elite finishing speed that's as good as there is in the NFL. His speed isn't in question. Heyward-Bey ran a 4. At and , he is larger than the 6-foot, pound Wayne. What will also be interesting is how this affects Grigson's approach to the upcoming draft April Aiyuk SF. Golladay NYG. Thielen MIN. Moore ARI.
