it's hard to ignore the notes on Hemmingway.

while I haven't seen a lot of the kid in person, he did have the open field catch from Goff last week. He certainly doesn't lack for size.

I guess to make the team; They'd have to think about only carrying 5 WRs.
Not sure that will happen
Or, I suppose that a guy like Harkey could be on thin ice, but I think Harkey has shown his worth on specials, and blocking.
It's the part of carrying 4 tight ends versus 6 WRs. To me, I need a guy like Duke Williams more than I need a Hemmingway. I think Duke has a greater upside.

But I'll put back to you
Is Hemmingway a keeper over an extra WR?
and will the 4th TE or the 6th WR be active on game day?

If Hemingway keeps catching the ball in the next 2 games, I don't see how they can pretend he's an easy stash on the practice squad. I think he makes the team if he continues progressing at Denver and Minnesota.

I think the long term plan is that they want 2 or 3 TE's that can get down the field and catch the football. Hemingway could force his way on the team and I wouldn't be one bit surprised.

If the Passing Offense has become more of a priority for Fisher's 2016 Rams, I think Hemingway is the true hybrid slot TE/WR that could make for match-up nightmares on opposing LB's and smaller DB's.

The 4 TE and 6 WR count could be in the mix but that is the money question & what position group takes the hit if that's the case?

I also prefer Fisher keeps Malcolm Brown and Aaron Green as backups to Gurley and Benny, which would likely mean Chase Reynolds would have to be cut.

The position counts for WR, TE and RB are not easy to guarantee what the final numbers will be.

Makes you think and wonder about the possibilities
