I had more success in the WL league. It seems I cannot get open when the QB throws the ball. Any help would be appreciated.

No idea. Looks like a VERY, very good build. It just might be that he is at the wrong WR spot. Is he listed at the #1? might be more effective as the 2 or three spot? Just thinking.

It really depends on your AI and how the defense is covering him. probably just bad luck, great build.

too slow and catching at 81 would help a lot imo.

Thick Skin as a VA really???

Too slow, not agile, can't catch, not enough vision, more carrying and less strength. And yes, why thick skin and not say Possession Receiver, Mr Reliable and some Come-back Kid?

You also have to remember that the players coming through are some much better than the players that have been. Well, most of them. Next season will definitely show this.

I dunno why I have thick skin, I thought of many ways why my dot is having a hard time getting open (including snarl, etc..) But when I made this dot I didn't follow or know anything about building a WR. I should have 3 custom EQ but only had enough for 2 and no SP to upgrade all my eq to the next level. I am a part time player and I love football which is why I am playing this.

My next WR will have enugh SP for 3 custom EQ, upgrade in all my eq at end level and getting speed and agility over 90+ but I was thinking about retiring this build.

Fyi, your GLB terminology is a little off.

And it's very easy in this day and age to have 4 AEQ pieces of equipment. Getting speed and agility above 90 natural is an absolute must now. My level 22 WR has as much speed as your dot (minus EQ and SA bonuses). I'd retire him and start fresh, and frankly, use your free player to make a WR because they're not worth the 300 flex.

Get rid of thick skin, put it into soft hands. Stop putting points into the 'suck' attribute, even though your coach told you to

Ive seen worse builds, but you are putting any emphasis on catching VA's. No mr reliable? No poss wr? If your WR can never get the ball, how do you expect to use spin, open field fake, head fake, quick feet, slippery, or YAC attack? If you can slowly start adding the catching VA's. That should help some.

Not bad for a first build.

But he's extremely slow, and the lack of eight points of EQ (in addition to the actual bonuses) means he's gonna have a tough time getting open. I like the break tackle focus, and despite relatively low strength/carrying you've done pretty well.

Still, the combination of his relative immobility with the poor VA selection (Thick Skin?) means that it's difficult for him to get open in the first place. If you make another WR, focus on getting close to 100 natural speed right off the bat.

I think it would help if you switch break tackle chance to fake chance
