We are now a Elijah Sarratt injury away from having a pretty major issue with lack of size at the WR position. Losing Williams & McCulley doesn't hurt much now but our depth is going to be tested.
Charlie Becker is probably going to have to burn his redshirt.
While Coby has been a sneaky awesome special teams contributor, I do not think he's that great of a receiver.Are you sure?
E. Sarratt
O. Cooper
M. Cross
M. Price
K. Williams
A. Coby
That's feels like we still have decent depth.

Sarratt's the longest of the remaining bunch at 6'2'. Williams and McCulley were big, rangy targets in a way that nobody else is in the WR room. I have no doubt that Shanahan can scheme around any limitations, but if 6'2" Sarratt goes down that leaves Coby and 6'0" Omar Cooper as the biggest guy in the rotation.
Maybe I've just been conditioned by the years where we had Latimer / Cobbs / Westbrook / Miles Marshall to think you need a big body guy in the room. Lots of people know ball better than me will probably tell me I'm wrong.
Coby was a drop machine in the previous two seasons and consistently failed to get open. He's also been healthy while Williams & McCulley have both dealt with injuries. I don't think anyone given the choice would pick him over those two but I hope I'm wrong & he produces for us.Coby is 6'1. To be fair, this season so far...
E Williams & D McCully (combined)
4 receptions 70 yds 1 TD
A Coby
3 receptions 70yds and 1 TD
Right, sorry, I didnt say he was better than those 2. I was just showing how he was merely more production those two. He is a WR6 so back to my original point, I think we have the depth still.Coby was a drop machine in the previous two seasons and consistently failed to get open.

He's WR6, so not a ton of pressure for now.
Can’t stay on the field. He had one ball thrown his way Saturday and limped off of the field.WTH?
