Anyone have any updates on some of these players either keeping or losing the KR/PR position?

 

[BobbyLayne]

For those of us who play in these leagues, it's time to discuss position battles.  Here is the situation per Ourlad's depth charts as of today.  Post any updates or training camp rumors. 

                                                  KR                               PR
        
Detroit Lions                     Dwayne Washington      Golden Tate

 

Washington had a KR for a TD in the 2016 preseason but only returned 2 during the season. Tate hasn't fielded a regular season PR since 2015.

T.J. Jones was penciled in for both slots but suffered a hammy in the Jets game. The Lions don't seem overly concerned but if he's not ready to go next month there will be a ripple effect. Abbrederis, Billingsley, & Keyshawn Martin are all on the bubble - the latter might handle both return duties if he makes the team.

At any rate, none of the Detroit returners will be a factor on offense and unlikely to be worth rostering as a returner.

Hill is doing KR and PR?  - I thought they were taking him off KR's?

Updated with Ourlads as of today.  Changes are in red.

Correct, at least via news blurbs that stream through MFL. 

First link I followed, but there's plenty of backup for any that want to search it themselves.

Do you also look at kickers to see which ones have the most touchbacks?

Ted Ginn

Tyler Lockett

Marquise Lee

Are these the only semi-relevant WRs that could have substantial return stats?
