Ochocinco on Golladay - Now Ochocinco wants to help Okudah

Depends. Will he be 1st half Jones or 2nd half Jones? Plus we added another guy so maybe he gets looked at less. Tate will get his and the RB are involved heavily into the passing game as well. Plus Ebron. Only so many to go around..

Boldin had 95 targets and is gone. so Golladay and Ebron get those Marvin Jones could have more targets. He had 103 in 15 games. Jones did well in Week 17 and the playoff game. More first downs will mean more targets too. This offense will be better with healthy Stafford and Abdullah. Now just get the Oline healthy (Decker, Lang, now Wagner)
 
Fantasy Football Under the Radar Rookies

Kenny Golladay, WR, Detroit Lions
The darkhorse -- though it’s becoming more and more obvious each day -- to finish as this year’s top rookie wide receiver in fantasy football is Kenny Golladay.

(Or Babytron, as I like to call him.)

Golladay’s a 6'4", 218-pounder from Northern Illinois who played all over the field in college. He ended his final season at NIU with a hefty 43.01% receiving yardage market share on 37.50% of his team’s receptions, scoring 40.00% of the Huskies' touchdowns that came through the air.

It’s a MAC school, sure, but Golladay balled out.

Now he’s in Detroit, playing for a Lions team that’s thrown the ball at least 594 times in each of the last six seasons. (That’s a top-half pass-heavy offense.) He’ll compete for wide receiver targets with Golden Tate and Marvin Jones, but should see the field often, as the Lions were fourth in percentage of plays run last year with three wide receivers on the field.

Is Detroit Lions receiver Kenny Golladay ready to erupt in 2020?
SLR

But to put a point of emphasis in the statistical trend here, let?s compare him to a recent Lions legend, receiver Calvin Johnson. This will be quick and only about the stats in comparison to their first four seasons. Johnson produced 756, 1,331 and 984 yards in his first three seasons. His touchdowns we?re a little different at four, 12 and five.

In Johnson?s fourth season, he started to create a legacy as Megatron when he posted 1,120 yards and 12 touchdowns. This stat line looks eerily familiar to Golladay?s stats from 2019. What?s a little more impressive is Golladay had 18.3 yards per reception compared to 14.7 yards per reception for Johnson?s third year. Also, 18.3 yards per reception for Golladay is more than Johnson has ever reached in a single season.

The point of this comparison is to show that Johnson took a huge step in his fourth season before erupting for 1,681 yards and 16 touchdowns the following season. Golladay?s stats are on the exact same trajectory, even slightly better and he did it without the same quarterback all season in year three.

That's crazy to me. I knew Kenny was balling but that's quite the comparison.
