Showboat 233 Posted June 25 I think the point is that precedent in the NFL means nothing. Goodell could turn on a dime and hand down a suspension before there is any legal determination or he could give a slap on the wrist even if there is a conviction. Plus there is the fact that stupid people usually can't stop themselves from continuing to do stupid things. It is probably foolish to not incorporate those uncertainties/risks into any FF value/ranking you make for Rice, or any other KC WRs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is probably foolish to not incorporate those uncertainties/risks into any FF value/ranking you make for Rice, or any other KC WRs. Not discounting this at all, hence the possibility of suspension is already priced into the ADP. I guess then I am a proponent of the value you are getting by the "implied odds" the market has set for suspension. My perceived value is based on facts at hand, not "guess work" on what some people "think Goodell will do". “Well, first, we allowed the legal process to move through,” Goodell said during his opening interview Thursday with ESPN’s Mike Greenberg at the first round of the draft. “We obviously are following it closely, and as soon as they’re done with the process, we will be engaged and be prepared to look at that under all of our personal contact policies.” -Goodell, April 26th 2024 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Showboat 233 Posted June 25 To answer the OP question, I think Brown is the KC WR to own. I like that he is playing on a one year prove-it contract in the best situation he has ever been in. I just don't trust Rice to keep his nose clean and even if he does, I expect some regression and a bit of a sophomore slump. By the end of the season, Worthy may be the man but I don't think he will produce consistently this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we could predict the future with 100% accuracy, all the decisions would be easy. With what we know today and the uncertainty of how Rice will handle the off-field distractions (not to mention any potential punishment), I think Brown is the better and safer choice. I could certainly be wrong and Rice could build on his promising rookie year or Worthy could turn out to be a dominant rookie or Toney could suddenly figure it out..... I just happen to think that all of those scenarios are less likely than Brown being the alpha WR for KC this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmh6476 913 Posted June 26 This would be a perfect thread to point out that Mahomes has as many Lombardi's as starter than all other projected starters combined. And he has more playoff wins than all combined sans Rodgers and Wilson. That is phenomenal, especially when you consider this might be Rodgers and Wilson's last chance to get back to the playoffs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you are mis-reading the chart for playoff wins - the number applies to each QB so that would be 36 combined wins versus 15 for Mahomes (not counting Wilson & Rodgers). But still, I don't think that anyone doubts that Mahomes is the best QB in the league right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,468 Posted June 27 Even with no suspension or continued issues for Rice, I have this gut feeling Brown will still be the 1A. The Chiefs have recently whiffed on speed receivers so I have little interest in Worthy for redraft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if no suspension happens, I'd be very careful about paying for Rice. I suspect Brown may end up being a bigger player in this offense than a lot of people think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kcBlitzkrieg 29 Posted July 5 Hollywood has had a minimum of 100 targets every season he's played except his rookie year with Ravens. Rashee barely broke 100 targets this past rookie season for him. Hollywood is playing the MVS role in this offense. MVS got a little over 80 targets his best season with Mahomes, with an exact 50% catch on target rate. Only scored 3 TDs with Patrick in those 2 seasons. Brown's career catch rate is a little better than 60% so this comes down to how many targets one expects Brown to get. Is he MVS ? No, he is a faster more elusive version with a little better hands and explosion. Mahomes will be the best QB the guy has every played with. He will score TDs with Patrick. Hollywood's career high is 8 TDs. He should get to that number. He will also be a guy who gets about 100 targets, catches 65-75 balls for maybe 1000 yards. IF Rashee gets suspended then obviously Brown will be of much greater value ADP wise. He would be in store for a career year if Rice were to get 6 games or more. IF Rashee is not suspended then Rice will be the better value ADP wise for sure as he will start off just like he left off last season....a very close #2, or about even, target monster for Sir Patrick.

I don’t think Hollywood is as one dimensional as MVS. So I’d bump up your optimistic projections a bit. Let’s say 85 catches for 1200 yards and 9 TDs. That makes him a high-end WR2 no?

All-time fastest 40-yd dash in NFL combine history... 2024 Xavier Worthy 4.21 Olympic track star speed. Problem is virtually none of the fastest Wrs in the NFL have fared well. It's like they've perfected speed, but lack other skills to be successful at the NFL level like route-running, tackle-breaking, rebounding, catching, etc. Maybe Worthy will be the exception, but that remains to be seen. My guess is he returns kick-offs/punts and has a couple spike receiving games during the season, but not a reliable starter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The knock is too many drops from lack of concentration or "body-catching" due to the short catch radius. Maybe some of that can be coached out of him.

There's no true #1 in KC, if he earns meaningful targets then you may have your next Puka. Nobody drafted Puka in re-draft, I certainly didn't. You're telling me that at that draft Capital, he can't be a Tank Dell? You just drop him if it doesn't work out and hit the waiver wire. Fantasy Football is all about upside, that's how we win.

weepaws 2,986 Posted July 6 Worthy isn’t worthy in redraft simple. Keeper leagues is a pickup. In my 14 non ppr, he might make it unto a team, but he’s not sitting on my bench waiting for what will not happen. In my 12 team ppr, I’m not sure he even gets drafted. If he does start to produce after the draft different issue. I don’t see a lot of the upside in a redraft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed he’s not a wr1, but if Rice misses time he will be Mahomes wr1, and the best Qb Brown has ever played with, so this could be season two with 800 plus yards. NFL wr1, no, FF wr 1. No. I wouldn’t worry about drafted either him or Rice before their adp, wr4 would be great. . Time for you to let this frustration you have about people’s opinions go.
