ATM I have Possession Receiver obviously. After that what should I consider?

Mr Reliable/Slippery/Quick Feet/YAC Attack? I plan on putting points into head fake and already have 2 AEQ for Juke.

Also plan on putting some points into Route Running later on so pairing Slot Machine with that also sounds like a good idea.

Thoughts?

I don't know if you are going to classify as a "possession" receiver if you are working on the Slippery, Quick Feet , and YAC Attack VAs, as well as the Head Fake and Juke SAs. Those are really for making plays after you catch the ball and much less useful for actually making a catch. The more you focus on them, the more passes thrown your way will be incomplete, deflected, or intercepted.

Quick Feet (or Clever Instincts if you are low level in your league) paired with Juke/Head Fake theoretically helps you get open, but a well-built defender won't fall for many fakes (DBs love Super Vision) and will probably have Ball Hawk to catch up with you if you do manage to create a little separation. Obviously YAC Attack only works after the catch, that's self-explanatory.

Actual possession receivers in the slot probably tend to favor Route Running and Sticky Hands for SAs and Slot Machine, Mr. Reliable, and Possession Receiver for VAs. Those all compliment a build that has less speed but more catching, vision and jumping.

Being a "possession receiver" (according to the VA) entails having high agility and acceleration from a dead stop. You have to get open early in your route or get open on short routes (most optimally). This requires either a quick burst of speed to very quickly overtake your coverage or being able to fake an opponent in an equally thrifty manner for separation. The other bonus possession receiver provides is simply good for all receivers so you can pursue any path and still get benefit from the VA.
