there is no doubt that Jefferson is the best player. But Jefferson has a QB who likely wont be able to get him the ball. in redraft that makes him less valuable. This is a redraft league. if it was keeper/Dynasty you'd make that deal to get Jefferson. every time. Jefferson is on pace to get a bit more than 1000 yards. by his standards thats not very good. Hes playing like a WR2. not his fault. his rookie QB JJ McCarthy is stinking it up. So his performance outlook this year is not all that good. like I said, it might get a bit better with Wentz at QB while McCarthy is out......but not THAT much better. (and possibly worse)

too late. he needed to play like that the whole game. if he does that, they win every time. I think thats the maddening thing. he shows flashes that make you think he can be really good, and then he will turn around and stink the joint out on the next few series. Though he has performed well under other coaches earlier in his career... Maybe the issue is coaching. any thoughts on that?

this is the correct answer. I want no part of Jefferson with JJ McCarthy as his starter. I know Wentz is in there now, so it will be a bit better. but not better enough.

never bench your studs Nabers put up decent numbers even with this crappy O line. Dart is in, and most QB who want to keep their job will keep feeding the #1 WR. in this scenario its usually the #2 and #3 WR who experience a serious dropoff in production. Dont get me wrong this will affect Nabers too, but the difference wont be quite as large as the difference with the others

i think he takes a significant chunk. but the overall pie will be bigger because the offense as a whole will be better.

I thought they already did that on the longer field goals. as those are more line drives they are easier to block than the short ones because they dont get as much height when crossing the LOS.

this is the last of the difficult games for the baltimore D. I would not play them this week if I had the ability to avoid it. Mahomes doesnt turn the ball over a whole lot and he doesnt usually take sacks. That doesnt leave lots of opportunity for points. the situation was the same for Buffalo. while mahomes isnt Josh Allen, hes the same type of QB. hard to tackle. doesnt usually make stupid plays with the ball. after this game, it should be clear sailing for the baltimore D. Just not this week.

I think its gonna be matchup dependant. There will still be some matchups against weaker run defenses where he will be playable. and none of the other RB are good enough that I'd say they are matchup proof.

yeah, but given the nature of the Injury (Lis Franc) he will never be the same. he may need to switch to guard due to the injury. depends of course on the nature of the Lis Franc but there are literally dozons of tendons, ligaments and bones in the lis franc area and you cant operate on one without affecting the others. in all likelyhood he wont be able to push off with power from that leg (at least not the way he used to) and certain moves to defend he will no longer be able to pull off and unless the specifics of the injury are publicized (and they wont be) we have no clue how this will likely affect his play. I wouldnt count much on him. There is at least a 50% chance his career is ruined. The Lis Franc is a horrible injury. worse than a torn ACL. The recovery rate isnt all that good if they have to operate on it.

not sure what to say. I saw some tape where he was doing a crossing route and the ball was about three and a half feet behind him. It looked like an INT. the DB thought it was. the DB went for the catch, and Harrison reached out an arm and brought it in and he didnt even need to slow down. Because the DB was so sure he had the INT he was not in position to make a tackle so Harrison got a big play. One of the more impressive plays i've seen. those types of plays dont happen with subpar talent. though admittedly maybe the pass looked too easy and he lost focus. Not sure what is happening here. I bought in thinking Harrison was gonna have a good second year. He was my WR2. Still holding. Im not giving up on the kid because I KNOW the talent is there.

I dont love him, but this year his team has been plagued by drops. I think hes better than what the stats are showing. not sure that makes him good. Maybe it makes him slightly better than Meh.

This is a totally irresponsible move on the part of the Giants. I suspect the coach/gm are on the hotseat and trying to save their jobs. But putting a rookie in behind that horrible line is a mistake especially this early in the year. a rookie behind a horrible O line is facing: 1) Chargers 2) Saints 3)Philly 4) Denver 5) Philly (again) 6) San Fran the only decent matchup is the game vs the Saints. the rest are pretty tough matchups. personally if I were king of the world and wanting to get the kid in there I'd wait til that San Fran game was over before throwing him to the wolves like this. I'd say there is a good chance they are gonna ruin Dart as a QB prospect before hes done his rookie year. I do not agree with this move at all.

I dont have a hate for Travis Hunter. but I also never drafted him either. with a guy like him you always have to ask.... what if hes a better defender at the NFL level than he is a receiver? there was actually considerable risk with him because if he is a better defender, his reps as a WR will be less than they would be otherwise because the guy needs to take a breather. he cant be out there defending the prior series and then going out and running routes. dudes gonna get tired. I figured if he gets used on both sides of the ball they may split the time up. so I didnt pick him due to the situation. not due to his skillset

I'll be honest. I never saw this performance coming. but the line has been gawd awful. That doesnt help.

maybe its a mild sprain Even so, I dont know that I'd start him next week if he plays.

yeah, I knew Keenan Allen would play a significant role. I bought him for $2 in my auction and drafted him late in nearly every single draft I was in. I'm happy with that. I honestly thought McConkey would have a year statistically similar to last year. but the Emergence of Quentin Johnston has cut into that further. I wouldnt sell on McConkey yet. Quentin Johnston I thought started out pretty quick last year if I recall yr. t hen faded and then had a good game or 2 at the end of year. if that pattern holds, it may still pan out for McConkey owners. if not, you may see a 7-800 yard season for McConkey.

I think this is likely going to be WR by committee. they will each take turns performing in this offense and it will drive fantasy owners nuts

well the next few games they will know if hes capable of starting (or not) Conor is at an age where his days as a starting RB in the NFL are numbered. this injury may actually have finished him off as a starter. if Benson proves he can play, they use a later pick to get a RB next year. if he looks questionable, they will use an earlier pick.

well, Burrow has a quick release and is one of the faster decision makers in the NFL with a great arm with great accuracy. he was able to peform behind a poor line because of these skills. Most QB cant play behind a line this crappy. so if the line was nothing more than a turnstile, no surprise their backup (who is pretty good as far as backups go) couldnt perform

well, the cards will trade for a RB. this seems obvious. Not sure how Bensons blitz pickup is, but Conor was very good at it. so if they pick up a guy who has good blocking skills, they will likely plug him into the 3rd down role. if they pick up a guy capable of starting, then they dont have the confidence in Benson. I do think they will give Benson a chance to prove he can start. but I'm pretty sure a RB is on the way.

I never saw the play, but passes where the catch was behind the LOS can often be considered lateral. if a correction happens it will happen in the next 24 hours or (likely) not at all.

need to know more about your league. This deal may make some sense in a superflex format but not in a standard start 1 QB format. Daniels is a far better choice than Stafford who is likely on the waiver wire in some 1 QB leagues. in a 1 QB league STafford is a backup. if hes your starter you likely are not in good shape. Id value stafford at almost zero in any 1 QB redraft format. so if this is your situation, this is basically a daniels for Skattebo trade and now you need to drop a player from your roster to make room for Stafford. in a superflex format Stafford is a starter, and then you look at the projected points and the makes a bit more sense here though I would not take that deal in superflex either. (though situationally you may consider it if you needed a RB bad enough and had the QB depth to withstand losing Daniels.) for the record, 2 for 1 trades are not truly 2 for 1. if you are getting 2 and giving up one, you actually need to drop someone. so in this deal your trade is Jayden daniels and the crappiest roster player you have(who you need to drop to make this trade happen) for Skattebo and Stafford.

apparently the second half got better but I was not watching.
