Speedster archtype: (these questions are based on the speedster archtype)
1) Has anyone had success with an agility based WR? 110 or 120+ agility
2) Is it ever worth it to take catching first and agility 2nd and speed 3rd?
3) What about catching first, speed 2nd, and agility 3rd?
4) Is the traditional speed, agility, catching, vision the best method?
1) Was obv old-school, but with a ~110/110 spd/agi split, he was the best WR on the Hedgehogs for a long time, despite being underleveled by a season almost his whole career.

2/3) To say something is "never" worth it, would be a bold and likely misguided statement
4) Vision > jumping is traditional?

To the OP, you need to keep in mind that the WR accepted meta has been challenged far less than any other meta. The people who challenge it tend to be bad dot builders in general, and owners tend to be less willing to try different builds on their high level teams creating deaths to free agency.
There have been numerous reports of possession WRs being very successful over the years, but it never became more than a rare blip when a great dotbuilder went against the grain. Fake WRs were considered trash for a few seasons before people discoered how OP catch fake was. With avoidfake% coming up the chain on CBs and likely bringing fake WRs back in line, there will be an opening to try new things.
