I'm a 100% sure the Vikings will draft a QB this year. For their sake they better. There's Jared Goff, Jordan Love and soon th be drafted Caleb Williams. Chicago , Detroit and Green Bay should all.finish ahead of the Vikes this year so if Minnesota wants to be competitive in their division in the future they better draft a QB. Since they have 2 picks in the first round they should make a serious effort to try to move up to #3 and trade with the PATS. I don't think Washington is gonna budge off their #2 pick so the should concentrate on getting the #3 pick. It'll cost them thier 2 first rounders and at least a first round pick next year, so they'll probably overspend to get the pick, Ala my 49ers pick of bust Lance. Hope it doesn't turn out like that for them. IF they can't get the #3 pick then it's still gonna cost them their 2 first rounders to move up and get JJ McCarthy. There's a chance of teams like the NY Giants, Broncos and the Raiders put forth an effort to get McCarthy do the Vikings better rack their brains to get up into the top 5 if they want even a chance of getting a QB.

He's posturing for a new deal. He did drop the 49ers from his social media account. Even if he did ask for a trade I don't think he 'll get the money he's looking for. I believe his best chance to get a ring is to remain a 49er. Possible Deebo won't be there in 2025 making Aiyuk the defacto #1 WR. Maybe someone should tell him the grass isn't always greener on the other side. When all is said and done I think Brandon Aiyuk gets a deal done that's amenable to both sides and he'll stay in San Fran.

Well, seems like the NFL.wants to generate more profit for the league by going to multiple co I Marie's to play games. Don't think a lot of players really like that but they get paid well so they'll have to deal with it. Now it's a game in Brazil so wondering where they'll wanna play next. May be a.matter of time before the look to play a game in NORTH KOREA where the mad dictator Kim something I'll or.whatever his name is wants to watch. He has been visited by Dennis Rodman.and the guy loves the NBA but he hates America. Keep the NFL out of questionable countries.

Seeing as how well CJ Stroud played last year the addition of Diggs should help his numbers be even better this year, if that's possible. If Tank Dell can come back healthy and be available come week 1.good chance we'll see a lot of 3 WR sets. If that's the case then I think TE Dalton Schultz's numbers go down significantly. Is Diggs gonna whine if Collins and Dell get targets.he thinks he should get? Anyway, at least on paper it looks like the Texans offense should be really good this year. Plus add in RB Joe Mixon.who should get a decent amount of touches so it should be fun to watch the Texans offense in 2024. Oh, forgot to mention their defense which added some pieces as well and should be better than last year. Good it be possible that the Texans pose a threat to the Kansas City Chiefs this year?

Good bet but there will probably be a team out that they'll need some depth at rb during.camp if injuries or something else goes on. He should consider himself lucky if a yeam picks him up and extremely fortunate if he were to get anywhere around 100 carries. He's proved he can't stay.healthy and that may end up being the case this year if he goes to some team. Dude is toast IMO, but we'll see

I'll do my Too Early Top 10 but reserve to adjust it after the NFL Draft. Lot of good stud players to try and get the top 10 right, which is really subjective. I prepared a list of my top 25 and actually some of these guys outside the top 10 could easily slide in there. So here goes anyway. 1. RB CHRISTIAN McCAFFREY- probably the biggest reason my 49ers made it to the SB. 2. WR TYREEK HILL- He'll come close to 2,000 yds. 3.CD LAMB- will be Cowboys focus and double digit tds for sure. 4.WR JUSTIN JEFFERSON- down a few spots with Darnold but easily top 3 WR. 5.RB BIJAN ROBINSON- will be the 2nd best RB behind CMC. 6.WR JaMARR CHASE- will take a bit to sync up with Burrow. 7.RB KYREN WILLIAMS- McVat has his bellcow for 2024. 8.RB BREECE HALL- will be QB Rodgers favorite offensive player. 9.RBJaMYR GIBBS- will have bigger share than Montgomery. 10.WR AJ BROWN- having Barkley there will boost his production.

Now that Cousins is in Atlanta what does that do for the offensive skill position players? Specifically, RB Robinson, WR London and TE Pitts. Is possible that all 3 of these players finish in the top 10 for their position? Which of these guys benefits the most with Cousins? First, London is no Justin Jefferson, so.whete do you slot him in your WR rankings? TE Pitts has basically been a disappointment so far and can he be the TE we thought he would be coming into the league with Cousins. Lastly, RB Bijan Robinson could end up being the best of these 3 guys and with the new coaching staff I think he's going to get a significant workload this year and he could easily be a top 10 RB thus year. I like to get you guys thoughts on these 3 players and how you think they'll fare this year with the upgrade at QB. Do you think all 3 will end up top 10 this year?

He will for sure get short yardage carries and goalline tds. Don't think he'll match the previous 13tds this year. He may be lucky to get more than 150 carries depending on who else is in the RB room. Surely you'd think the Chargers would draft an RB 3rd round or later and give them a chance to play. For me though I'll put Gus on my do not draft list and dkn't think he'll even be in the top 30 rbs.

Yeah, his career so far doesn't suggest that he's a bellcow RB and trust me he won't be in L.A. I guarantee you that the Chargers will draft a RB in the 3rd or 4th round. There's some decent ones in the draft. Pretty sure we won't see one go in the 1st round so the Chargers will have the opportunity to grab one. I could be wrong but Edward's will not get bellcow carries.

I think Bijan Robinson has the best chance to be top 10 at RB. The other 2 are still a little iffy. Shame that Pitts hasn't really pan out so far but he'll have a real shot at being top 15. London on the other hand, while talented, just don't see him being top10 even with a.new QB. Cousins is coming off a serious injury and not sure how he'll hold up all season. If he's out for any time then London and Pitts value drops significantly in production. Bijan would still get his but as.I see.it.I think Robinson's.the only one that.finishes top10.

I'm sure if Kevin O'Connell can get Nick Mullens to sling the ball with some success he should be able to at least make Darnold a serviceable QB. However, with Darnold now a Viking I would think you'd have to drop Jefferson down a.little jn WR rankings. Don't think he'll be WR1 when fantasy drafts start. He'll.still be a top 10 WR but there's at least a handful of other young receivers that in all likelihood will put up better numbers than JJ. I know, I'd still like to see him be the top receiver this season but with Darnold I don't think that's gonna happen. We'll see.

I don't think the addition of Barkley will hurt Jalen Hurts that much although a lot of other people seem to think his QB ranking drops and probably rightfully so for fantasy. In reality Barkley's a huge boost to the Eagles offense and I hope we don't see.thst damned tush push as much. Jason Kelce's retired now and he was a big part of why the brotherly shove was so successful. Yes they'll still use it in short yardage, especially if it's 4th down and.less than a yard but they would be wise to use the bruising RB to get that yardage. Signing Barkley looks like they're trying to imitate my 49ers when.they signed the amazing Christian McCaffrey but Barkley's no CMC. I do however applaud the Eagles for snagging Barkley.and.dojng what.they feel helps their offense.

I like this move for Mixon. He certainly slots in as the lead back and with a decent offense with QB Stroud, WRs Nico Collins and Tank Dell(inj.) Mixon sets himself up to have a decent fantasy season. He's definitely an RB2 in fantasy but has a chance,IMO, to putup RB1 numbers. He's only 27 and should have plenty left in the tank. Texans offense is trending upwards and with rookie sensation CJ Stroud they certainly have a good shot at winning the division and making the playoffs regardless. With all the RB shuffling around this year it'll be interesting to see which of these FA runningbacks ends up posting good fantasy numbers in their new homes. It's been a heck of a free agent season so far and hopefully the devalued RB's will show the NFL that they are more relevant than given credit for. Rock on dudes.

Now with both.Chase Brown and Zach Moss toting the rock it'll be interesting to see how both shake out fantasy wise. I think I'd lean more in favor of Chase Brown to get the majority of touches. Also on another note it looks like the Bengals have traded Joe Mixon to the Houston Texans. I like that move for Mixon. Still think he's got plenty left in the tank, a good young QB with several good receivers yet Mixon could produce a decent fantasy season this year. He'll surely get the Lions share of touches at.RB.

Yeah I think I somewhat agree with you after looking it over so I guess I'll replace Mixon with JONATHAN TAYLOR.

#1,#2,#3,#4 & #5- CHRISTIAN McCAFFREY, haha,LOL. Jus' kiddin' #1- CHRISTIAN McCAFFREY- even though I'm a 49ers Homer until he proves to me that he's not the top RB I have to rank him first. #2- BIJAN ROBINSON- Arthur Smith did NOT know how to use Bijan. That won't be the case this year. His carries and receptions will go up regardless of who's the QB. No sophomore slump.for this talented RB. He show why he was a top 10 pick in last years draft. #3- BREECE HALL- this Uber talented RB should have Rodgers back under center and Arod will NOT let Hall go unnoticed. He's a good receiver and with Rodgers hopefully staying healthy all year he'll help Breece finish as.the #3 RB. #4- ISAIAH PACHECO- he missed a few games playing.in 15 but still managed to put up 935 yds rushing.and 244 yds Receiving. I do believe Kelce's production is falling during the regular season which will be a plus for PACHECO in terms of his involvement in the offense. He'll be featured as much as possible. Look for his carries and receptions to go up. He's only 25 years old and the 2024 season will see him finish at #4 in production for RBs. #5- JOE MIXON- There's been talk and speculations that he won't be a Bengal in 2024. I say he will be. He had 1,034 yds rushing and 376 yds Receiving for a total of 12 touchdowns last year. He's 27 years old and does have a little wear to him but I think he's still got enough in the tank to produce enough to land him at the #5 spot for RBs this upcoming season.

I didn't. I adjusted my top 5 TEs that I posted earlier to include COLE KMET and KYLE PITTS. Kmet could be the better of these 2 this year as in all likelihood we see Caleb Williams drafted by the Bears and he'll want to show out his 1st year. That I believe will involve Kmet quite a bit. Yes they do have DJ Moore but Williams will want to move the ball which I think will translate in to plenty of targets to Kmet. There is talk that the Bears could opt for one of the good WRs in this draft with their 2nd pick in the first round. I believe it's a top 10 pick too. If they DO take a WR with the 2nd pick that may hurt Kmet's involvement a bit. Still, with Williams in house I think Kmet stands a decent chance to be in the top 5 for TEs this year.

If Marvin Harrison Jr. turns out to be as good as he is touted during his rookie year then YES he has a real chance of finishing as a top 5 WR. In fact Puka Nacua finished as a top 5 receiver last year as a rookie. If he goes to Arizona at pick 4 as has been projected he has an excellant chance of putting up very good numbers. He should certainly be the top pick in rookie fantasy drafts this year.

You guys have put a lot of good receivers on this prospective list and anyone of them are certainly capable of putting up top 5 numbers. What I'm proposing now could be a little fatr fetched but would like to see your thoughts on this guy and could he be capable of being top 5 this coming season. Over the last few years we've seen several rookie receivers come in to the league and simply ball out. This year the WR class is very deep with a lot of talent. Depending on where he lands in the draft is there a chance that rookie receiver MARVIN HARRISON JR. could put up numbers that would put him in the top 5 in production? Most would agree that he us the top receiver in this year's draft.class so what say you.guys.on this alpha receiver?

Yeah, the NFL has milked the Swift thing.and I've been guilty of it as well poking fun at the situation. Still, when we get down to brass tacks about the game I just feel that the 49ers have better and more talented personnel than the Chiefs, Mahomes excluded. Out side of Mahomes we have better tent on offense. Our defense can hold their own and should be able to hold the Chiefs under 30 pts. So I guess it'll be a race to 30 pts ,which I don't think we'll have trouble getting there. ****-- Also, my wife just told me that TAYLOR SWIFT apparently stumbled and fell but catching herself during a music set while performing in Tokyo. Hmmm, I guess.now the CHIEFS will want to put her on the INJURY REPORT. HA- FRIGGING-HA. Just hilarious. Maybe Travis will.send one of his trainers up to the luxury box to give Swifty some therapy during the game. So, I guess she'll officially be listed as QUESTIONABLE for her facetime.durjng the game.

Yes, you are correct my friend and it'll be nice to raise our 6th Lombardi Trophy.which would tie us with the Pittsburgh Steelers for.the most Superbowl yrophies in.the league. K.C.'s.gknna have to wait a little bit to get to that number and as long as they have Mahomes they could eventually get.to 6 rings but that'll have to wait until next year to get another one.

True, we.ARE the knes that need to get over the hump against the Chiefs. So maybe the fact that they beat us a few years ago will add a little more motivation to get the job done this time.

I doubt Shanahan uses CMC in the return game. Although I could certainly see Deebo returning a phnt or kickoff. If nothing else he.could help us get decent field positions with his returns. There again you.open up the risk of Deebo getting hurt during the return and we.certainly don't want that tk happen. We absolutely need Deebo on the field for offense if we.want to.win this game. I'm sure Shanny has mulled over the thought that.will it be worth the risk to have him return kicks. I'd.prefwr he doesn't return kicks. Just.thjnk that getting.some.extra.tardage in field position isn't worth the risk that.he could get injured. We.know he's.had a bum shoulder recently so why risk aggravating it.again.

One guy I think that's overlooked but could certainly have a shot at the top 6 is Buccaneets WR MIKE EVANS. He's had jver 1,000 every year in the league and looks like Baker Mayfield will be throwing to him. One real.dark.horse candidate could be the Jaguars WR CALVIN RIDLEY. Lots of people thought Ridley was gonna bust out this past year but it didn't happen. Yeah there's other guys there who'll want the ball but Ridley has some experience now with Lawrence and he certainly has the talent to be a top WR. I believe the Jags will throw more this coming year and that'll benefit Ridley and give him a shot to be a top 5 WR in 2024.
