Tampa fan but lot of Mets fans in the family.

It was just a quick comparison. In MHJs case I think Murray is better than what Adams was working with last year. my main point was you don’t have to be a top 10 NFL QB to support a top season for one receiver

That 3 wood was my first ever name brand club. Used it as my driver as a junior golfer.

i don't consider it alarming. I consider it where it should be, given this once in a lifetime opportunity. If not now, when? They got their great white hope finally going pro. I don't wish them failure but I don't see it being sustainable. I almost think the "beef" between Clark and Reese is just as important.... and I think the league needs about 10 more Clarks and Reeses to sustain any type of financial success. Or to even become profitable.

and maybe it is a fair thing to say. When I said there isn't any evidence to support it, I'm thinking more along the lines of I have not heard any basketball people making that comparison... not that I go out of my way to look for WNBA pundits but I have sports talk on enough and see enough talking heads discussing Clark and the WNBA this year. (which is good for their sport if it keeps up)

yeah, i'm not knocking your opinion or saying it's wrong. I have no clue. Maybe she is a female steve nash. I was just pointing out to Hawkeye that it was your guess and more anecdotal than anything.

I assume Clark is viewed as their best player... as she should be given the hype. So yes, I assume she sees tougher defense. I do know for a fact that Reese is 6'3. I guess that counts as a big for the WNBA even though there are obviously some super tall women playing. I just quickly looked and she leads the league in Rebounding and is really no taller than other players in the top 15-20 in the category. Some being as tall as 6'6" Reese's team is 7-11 and doesn't appear to be very good. She is their 3rd leading scorer and obviously leading rebounder. I would think there would be some defensive game planning toward her.

It's hard to view anything in FF as a sure fire, slam dunk. A case could be made for Lamb, Hill, Amon-Ra, JJ, Chase etc as the top WR drafted. Chances are the top one drafted won't be the #1 at seasons end. When drafting in round 1, I think it's best to take an approach of "which player do I feel has the best chance to be top 3-5 at their position at worst?". In some ways, the Cowboys not upgrading can be seen as a good thing for fantasy. We don't care if they win more games in real life. We care more that they didn't add a receiver who is going to command too much more target share than Cooks, for example.

I don't disagree at all. I guess in a sense, if a WNBA player is good enough at grabbing boards from all the missed shots and finishing them off at a good enough clip to average a double double, it has to be somewhat impressive in the context of it being the WNBA. If we compare the WNBA to youth basketball to negate those numbers, does that not make it look even worse that Clark has been fairly unspectacular and certainly not dominant, given her collegiate accolades?

8 draft 3 and still have waivers?

ugh, dude... no offense but his post is littered with "my guess", which he points out. There is no evidence that Clark's playstyle is like Steve Nash in terms of movement / pace / decision making. I had read something maybe a week ago that the Fever GM didn't even view her as a true PG. the second half of it is back to what's been discussed ad nauseam in terms of the turnaround time.... She's like halfway through the regular season now. you think it's a pretty accurate statement because you want it to be and for whatever reason you seem to be very invested in Clark and hold her near and dear.

but you dont really worry about the ratio as much for someone who plays down low, especially when we are talking low numbers in those categories. Shes not running the point, as you discussed. having the ball stripped or losing the handle 1-2 times a game is palatable for any player who you are not asking or expecting to facilitate. NBA example... kid of cherry picking but Jalen Duren is a nice young player on a bad team.. averages like 14-11. 2.4 apg, 2.1 topg Even someone like Gobert, 1.3 apg, 1.6 topg

understood. I was very general with that statement but as has already been pointed out, the assist to turnover ratio is key and the guard argument doesn't help Clark when taking that into consideration.

100x? 2023 revenue was 200M.... the expected revenue for 2024 is 240M. Even if there is some unaccounted for Caitlin Clark effect, where are we coming up with 100x revenue? Even if that was just exaggerating for effect, the WNBA wont even 2x it's revenue.

the argument can definitely be made. Reese is 13-12-2 Clark is 16-6-7 Clark turns the ball over way more. Similar steals numbers. Clark is a better free throw shooter but Reese is not bad (for the WNBA) and Reese doesn't shoot 3's. If you take away the college hype of Clark, where we wouldn't even have this thread, Reese is probably the slight front runner for ROY.

Cute financial jargon aside, what has changed in the Cowboys offense to genuinely anticipate a decline for a player who is young and has previously done nothing but climbed the fantasy rankings? 2020/21 WR24 in PPG 2022 WR8 2023 WR1 25 years old. Targets, receptions, yards and touchdowns have increased every season in the league. Dak is still the QB, the run game is more or less the same with Pollard having been a disappointment last year. The supporting receiver cast is the same as 2023 (Cooks, Ferguson, Tolbert)... Michael Gallup isn't much of a loss. The line wont project to be as good without last years LT and C but still a solid unit. Kind of just boils down to the holdout situation at this point.

i'd consider it in 2025. I have too many trips lined up the rest of this year. also, only if Jerry attends

I was kidding / baiting the easily baited. buuuuut... she is averaging like 13 and 12 with under 2 turnovers a game and 75% from the foul line.

and Angel Reese is better.. go figure

he is talking about attractiveness, I think. attitude and the way a woman carries herself has a direct impact on how attractive a lot of men will find her to be. take it from a guy who dated a physically hot black girl several years ago. as time went on I just couldn't do it anymore. but it obviously goes for all races.

I don't really care where a receivers QB is rated for fantasy purposes. I think MHJ is in a position to be a target monster in Arizona this season. No one would have rated any Raiders QB very highly during 2023 but Davante Adams amassed 175 targets. I am not suggesting MHJ will get this many targets but the rationale for his fantasy draft capital is similar. Minshew and Pittman... Carr and Olave.... Fields/Baget and DJ Moore .... etc. It's all about opportunity. The guy throwing the ball just needs to be capable of feeding a #1, they don't need to be capable of supporting an elite offense overall. As for would I draft MHJ and where? As evidence in the June mock, I would and I would do it early to mid round 3. I do not consider him a must have, a good bit depends on how my first two rounds shake out, but he is definitely up there on my radar.

Supplemental draft starting Monday July 15th. As per usual, order is reverse order of standings, non snake. Any free agents as of July 15th are locked and available to be drafted by ANY team. So make sure any players you wish to protect are rostered.

Remember, draft order is reverse order of standings at the All Star Break Draft is NOT a snake draft. Order is the same for both rounds.

She’s a cruel mistress

I’ll take the best rookie angel reese
