He’s produced when healthy, he really has, problem was he was never healthy. I could imagine Ballard taking the risk here because 1) we have few other options at this position and 2) no one is offering him a big contract elsewhere

Here's my argument against that, right or wrong. Parris is suppose to be a speed WR, but how many speed WR's own a yds, per reception rate of 10.2 over their careers? Those are TE numbers, and not good TE numbers either.

My other argument would be that Ballard treats this just like he did with Malik Hooker, who had the same injury issues and on occasion showed some big play ability.

And it takes WRs a while to adjust to the pro game. Well, it used to. Anyway, Parris has the game experience of a second year player, so he may be ready to shine, but nobody else will take a gamble on him if he is just slightly above average the rest of the season.

if you can pay him like a 4 then maybe. but he doesn't play special teams. i would probably steer clear. especially since the college game is putting out so many quality wr's

That is about where I think his value is, unless he just goes off the rest of the year.
