Default We need another WR-- and the market is open

Some really interesting names being floated around:
Allen Robinson
AJ Green
Nelson Agholor
All 3 apparently being dangled for not a lot. AJ isn't what he once was but he is what Rivers has traditionally excelled with.

Amari Cooper and Will Fuller are also being kicked around as possible trade bait- though both of those guys would call for solid compensation in return. I would love to see Fuller here, immediate replacement of TY's big play potential.

Then there's Kenny Stills and John Ross- basically the same guy in my view and both capable of big plays but aren't the day in day out get it done guy I think we need.

To me this is the missing piece that will keep us from being a legit threat down the stretch. TY looks done to me. Pittman doesn't look like he is about to flip the switch this season. Doubt we see Paris again this year. While I like Johnson and Pascal- they are not guys that bring potential game changing qualities over an 8 to 10 game stretch to the field.

Houston isn't trading Fuller to a division rival.

I'd like to see them move Hines outside more and let JT and Wilkens split carries

The Harris kid is also someone I want to see get some playing time. He and Hines can be mismatches to defenses

Is TY just done? I know he came out of the game with injury but he just doesn’t seem the same this season. Is it just the way rivers plays the position? Scheme? Can he not get separation any more?

Would be fine with that. Catches everything and fights for yards.

It may be a result of Rivers spreading the ball out as opposed to the days when TY was Luck's security blanket. I don't know what to think about him. I may get shit for this but I never thought he was a true WR1 but that's comparing him to the likes of Wayne which is probably unfair.

I also never thought he was a true #1 - he was a great secret weapon when teams were worried about Reggie Wayne, hence why he got the "ghost" nickname. I also thought he was always better as a slot receiver than outside.

Sure he's had a few big games in his career, and any good receiver should have that. But a #1 is a guy you can count on every game to be your leading receiver. TY has just never been that guy. If we found a true #1, I think he could go back to having an impact, assuming he isn't too old at this point.
And its crazy to think that but he's already 30! and I just looked that up and realized he has the same birthday as me, so cool and all, but he's gonna be 31 in a couple of weeks!
