With Green down and Boyd the only proven WR, which WR(s) do you think will step up?

You can pick two.

I'm hoping Tate and Malone

Kermit Whitfield.

I'm going with Core and Malone. They have been with the team long enough for them to realize that it's time to step up. Core is heading into his 4th and final year of his rookie deal, and for Malone, this will be his 3rd season. Both have the physical tools to do the job, seems like the previous coaching staff must have been unable to communicate the fine details to these players, as both have been disappointing thus far, to say the least.

Wait..you mean NOBODY is not an option? That's news to me..

Damn, I should have put an Other option and a None option in the poll. My bad.

I did think about including Eifert as he could be moved out to the slot as a WR, but decided not to.

If I had the choice of 3 it would be Malone, Morgan and Willis. I've heard good things about all three so far and Malone was reportedly injured last year.

I think Eifert will be called upon to fill a lot of the lost production.  Malone will likely take his spot on the field.  I would guess they will throw in a number of designed touches for Ross and Boyd will see a lot more looks, too.

Hunter Sharp is a great fake name...is he really a WR or did you just put a fake guy on there to see if we are paying attention?

Fine details should just hinder you somewhat.. what seems to have held these two back is their own ability or lack there of

Released last week...

Guess I'm with the majority because I went with Erickson and Malone. Would love to see Ross step up but I'm starting to wonder if he can or if he even wants to.

I'm trying to be optimistic and think that Ross won't have another injury this year aside from this tweaked hamstring. If he's healthy, I think him.
I picked Morgan as the other. He doesn't seem like a gimmick late-rounder like Tate or Core.

If Ross stays dinged up throughout the season, I'd go with Malone.

I think Willis and Morgan will surprise some. Not sure Willis makes the 53 roster though. So if we are talking about existing WR on team, it would have to be Malone and Erickson. I think Erickson has come a long way.

But I have been hearing good things about Willis and Morgan. I think Morgan has a good chance of making the roster.

I suspect that nobody will in fact step up... Alex Erickson might make a play here and there. I think it's going to come down to Boyd, Mixon, the Nard Dog, CJ, Eifert, and Sample carrying the load.

Yeah, I should have put in NONE or NOBODY, which is more or less who stepped last season (outside of Boyd).

John Ross.

Erickson is the safe choice, everyone else is a big mystery.

Malone and Ross with Eirckson getting some work.

Went with Erickson. He's the only one I trust.

We are going to need another one to step up tho. I feel like Core and Malone has had their shot and fair share of training camp fluff pieces to not fall for that talk again.

Ross, no chance.

The undrafted free agents will have to surprise, and the FO (ignoring Ross) can find some wide receivers. So it's possible.
