ANALYSIS: Goodbye Josh Gordon and hello Antonio Callaway. I have been touting Callaway since before the combine. The talent was there, and in my opinion, he was the second most talented wide receiver in this draft behind only D.J. Moore. It was his off-field issues that cause people to write him off. Most fantasy owners probably didn’t even know who this guy was prior to the draft. It’s time you get to know Callaway.
He is two games into his professional career and he is essentially on his last life with the NFL already. We could still see a suspension coming for his traffic arrest during the pre-season, but for now, enjoy the production. Callaway is officially the WR2 in Cleveland now and is a part of an offense that is only going to get better.
After the surprising release of Gordon, Callaway went for 81 yards on three catches and a touchdown on the road against the Saints. A lot of people still like Rashard Higgins, and I don’t have anything against him, but he does not have the ability of Callaway. You will see as the season goes on just how talented Callaway is in many facets of the game and the time to grab him is now.
