LOL, you come across as someone like my cousin. One night, a few of us were talking about basketball and my cousin said that LeBron James was the best player of all-time. I said, "I don't know, I'd think I'd put Jordan, Russell, & Wilt ahead of him." His response... "Oh, yeah, so LeBron sucks?". LOL, I basically said he was the 4th best player of all time and he's claiming I think he sucks. OP's list has him #3... I think he falls up #6 or #7. That "drop" might literally be 1 target less per game. Hahaha... heaven forbid I think he gets around 9 targets per game!

This is Tampa 2021. All 3 will be productive... solid #2's when they're all there. If one gets hurt, the two healthy ones will be WR1 candidates every week. First 6 Weeks: Evans WR14, Brown WR15, Godwin WR22 Week 7-15: Godwin WR4, Evans WR11 *Godwin tore his ACL week 15, Evans had a hamstring injury Week 16, Brown went nuts Week 17. To note, Tampa threw the ball 721 times that year. No, I don't think Stroud throws the ball that many times... but, they don't have a "Gronkowski" either. Houston did throw the ball almost 600 times last year. I think 600+ is definitely in the cards. I'd say 625 is probably the ceiling.

I'd keep Love and not think twice. He's in a much better situation to put up better numbers. He has a lot of weapons, a good line, and a good arm & grasp for the game. Richardson got hurt twice in his first 4 games. His legs were the reason for his good numbers, rushing for at least 30 yards and 1 TD in each of his first 3 games... he didn't last long enough in Game 4 to replicate that. I like his talent, but I'm not buying him at the price he's going at. I'd only invest in him as a QB2 because I have no idea if he'll even make it half way through the season. If there's someone willing to give you something good for him, I'd trade him. Otherwise, I'd throw him back and force someone to overpay for him.

I would lower my expectations for: Justin Jefferson: With their QB situation, I don't think their inclination would be to throw the ball enough to get Jefferson double digit targets per game, like the prior 2 seasons... plus, during his absence, Addison performed at a level to where he's going to command targets. On top of that, they brought in Tonyan to be an option until (if), Hockenson gets back. Not sure what Hock will bring, but assuming he comes back, it could be around fantasy playoff time. I think he's a top 7 guy, but unlikely to be top 3... a shot at top 5. AJ Brown: The Eagles OLine will still be top tier, but there's definitely going to be a drop off with Kelce retiring. I believe the Eagles brought in Barkley with the main focus to give him the ball more often and have Hurts run and throw less. They did bring in Kellen Moore to run the offense, so I do expect Brown to play the Cee Dee Lamb role on the team, but I believe the Eagles have more talented skill position players to spread the ball around. I think he ends up between 8 and 12, by season's end. Puka Nacua: Last year, when Kupp came back, Nacua was kinda boom or bust. In the final 12 games, half were under 11 points... 5 were single digits. I think things will probably smooth out, but I think he'll be more of a low-end 1/high end 2... somewhere in the 10-15 range. I'd increase my expectations for: Amon-Ra St. Brown: I think the Lions will just feed him the ball incessantly. Assuming he stays healthy, he's got a legit shot at WR1. Garrett Wilson: I like him, I don't love him, but I think he'll get a ton of volume. I believe he gets into the top 7, a decent shot at top 5. Marvin Harrison Jr: I think this kid is a stud. I think he shows himself to be a force and could end up in the top 3. Of the guys I noted that I think fall, I don't think they fall far. I still think they'll be in WR1 range, but I'd know them down a few pegs. Some guys not listed that I think could get into the top 10 are Drake London, Nico Collins, and Mike Evans. Both London and Evans are going to be the go-to guy of their teams with limited offensive weapons to eat into their production. I think Pitts and Robinson would be compliments to London, as I do Godwin and White... just like every team has. After those guys, I don't think their respective teams will really have too many plays to spread the ball around. Nico Collins looks to be the best of that corp in Houston. Sorry, but I think Diggs is not a high end WR anymore and nothing more than a complimentary play... a great one, but still, complimentary. I like Tank Dell and think he'll produce, but not quite well enough to be in WR1 consideration.

Yup, I'm sure that's the case.

Both predominantly republican. Odd, huh?

I find it funny that two of the most conservative areas in NJ are the places you like to visit.

That's probably the best way to go... especially for the people in the discussion. The Democrats know they overplayed their hand. They knew 2 years ago that Biden wouldn't last and they gaslighted with the DEI choice. They know no one likes Harris, unless they're told to... see this board as an example. Running Harris and circumventing Democracy (and pretending they didn't do it), is the best way to get rid of her. Generally, the W.H. is the last stop for people... so Harris got her cameo and now they need to get rid of her like they did with Hillary. So, they're running her against someone she can't beat. Buttigieg would be the obvious choice for them too, as the VP. They need to get rid of him too because he won't win any election at the federal level unless he moves to a dark blue district. So, run him in an election that will certainly lose and you kill 2 birds with one stone. It's one of the few things that the Democrats have done that made sense in my lifetime.

Yeah, because no one does that, right? There's nothing about the shore that anyone should like. The smell of the salt water is terrible, the tourists are awful, and the sand is horrendous. Pass. The only bright spot is that the people are normal, as you mentioned.

I know, I've lived here for 30 years. Thanks. Did you go in September?

I'd always thought that the best choices for a VP would be governors in their last term. They usually don't run for a Senate or House seat afterwards and if they don't run for President, then the VP spot is a good next step. So yeah, I'd agree their best move is a Governor, not a Senator.

I hope they go with Phil Murphy. Anything to get that jackwad out of my state would be awesome. It's a shame we are infested with so many liberals. We could really have a great state. Even our Republicans (Whitman & Christie), are practically liberals.

I just found his post/link funny because he's using 54 incidents over what, 4 years to determine that a group of people are violent. Watch how fast he calls you racist if you say black people are violent and show him 54 incidents in 1 month.

Thanks for proving I was right.

LOL, did you really think that there would be 2 white guys wearing MAGA clothing at 2 AM... in CHICAGO!!! Oh, and know exactly who Jussie Smollett was? g.t.f.o.h. Your MAGA rhetoric is obviously ignorant and expected.

The left doesn't want facts, they want faulty talking points.

Fine, she was a successful "model".

Good boy... now roll over... sit... beg... goooood booooy.

Nice denial.

I never said it wasn't consensual. He did it to get laid and she did it to get ahead in her career.

Fun fact, Melania was an established/wealthy supermodel before she met Trump... who didn't need anything from Donald Trump.

LOL, yeah, he was separated... then was banging Harris. That's how it went down. He was 30 years older than her. The intent is obvious. In the height of the #MeToo movement, that would've been considered sexual harassment.

That's a fair point. He was 30 years older than her.

Sleeping with a married man to get ahead.

@Sean Mooney I rest my case.
