Your WR has been dropping 10+ passes for the past few seasons. I'd suggest taking catching to 68, vision to 60 and put the rest of your SP during the season into carrying whilst training strength.

The dropped passes may be from being "knocked loose", which carrying will help more than catching.

DiMo, that's what I was thinking, many were because of poor quality pass / knocked loose, I've seen that a lot in replays... considering my catching actually is quite high, I see no other way around it... just wondering if STR comes into play big to figure out the calculations on that or not.

Strength does come into play. Less catches will get knocked loose.

Personally, I'd get catching to 68, then cap strength, then 2nd cap carrying. After that, it's really up to you, but I'd jack up jumping some more as well.

If your WR is getting a few poor quality passes all the more reason to raise catching. In regards to strength, personally I think it plays a minimal role for receiving. For example, my receiving TE with 76 strength & 61 carrying had 3 balls knocked loose last season compared to my WR with 33 strength & 45 carrying who had 0 balls knocked loose & 0 drops.

Well, of course your TE will get more balls knocked loose. Linebackers often cover TE's, and their strength and tackling causes balls knocked loose. CB's aren't as strong, so less strength/carrying is required to make a catch.

To minimize BKL, get solid strength/carrying numbers. Simple.

Moot point. Few teams build high strength (70+) OLBs let alone use them as the coverage LB against a receiving TE. Also, judging by the scouting bars of the many level 60+ CBs my WR played against this past season I'd surmise that they have more strength/tackling compared to my WR's strength/blocking. My other now Pro League WR only had 4 balls knocked loose on almost double the amount of receptions despite having similar strength/carrying to my previously mentioned WR.

Personally, I just think that unless you're specifically building a slow to average speed possession WR there are better ways to spend your SP to minimize knocked loose passes.

I just checked and Cora Kai WR Cassius Clay who is notorious for his high strength, as documented by his career 1005 pancakes and 286 broken tackles (in the World & Pro Leagues) had 3 balls knocked loose this past season..... Strength simply doesn't affect receiving all that much.

You also need to bring agility up, as 72+ isn't quite there, but close.

personally I prefer carrying, strength, catching to keep the ball from being dropped.

Virtually every OLB built these days has 60+ strength, and many have over 70.
