Fantasy Football News and Rumors

Taylor is the clear-cut dynasty 1.1, but I get why others might not.

Unproven tho.
Keep in mind, I'm a rookie hater.

Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio reports players who test positive will be placed on a 'COVID-19 list' for three weeks.
It’s unclear what will happen if a player on the COVID-19 list can’t return to practice after three weeks. A player being moved to said list will occur as if they were being moved to injured reserve, creating a roster spot that would then be filled with a player (presumably from every organization's expanded practice squad) who is negative for the virus. Fantasy players would be wise to start discussing their home re-draft league rules for this upcoming season as soon as possible.

All rookies are unproven, but from what I've seen and the situation he was drafted to (that offensive line is fucking SEX), I think he's pretty clearly the dynasty 1.1 this year.

he's been my RB1 through the entire process, hope he doesn't prove me wrong.

drafted him in a startup and traded up for him in a rookie draft

Rams coach Sean McVay suggested the team will manage their backfield with "that running back-by-committee approach."
“I think it’ll just naturally work itself out," McVay continued. "I think if you look at that success (San Francisco) had last year with that running back-by-committee approach...what I thought Kyle (Shanahan) and their players did a great job of is, ‘Hey, we’re going to have an open-mind approach, we’re going to be committed to trying to have some balance and then we’ll go with the hot hand or whoever really expresses himself as deserving of the carries. We’ve got four backs that we feel like are all NFL-legitimate starting-caliber backs and not feeling like you’ve got to force carries or touches to any of them. Just open mind and see how these guys do.” The four backs he's speaking of are second-round rookie Cam Akers, former No. 70 overall pick Darrell Henderson, Malcolm Brown (who out-touched Henderson 71 to 43 last year), and former preseason standout John Kelly. Whatever the end product, fans and fantasy players alike should expect Los Angeles' offense to bring a fresh approach to the field this year.

Zero chatter here on the Seattle/Jets trade?

Feel like bringing Clowney back would've been the better move for Seahawks

I know this might be a hot take, but I really like the move for seattle and I love it for the Jets.

Seattle is firmly in "win now" mode with a top-3 QB in his prime. I know giving up 2 1sts is a lot, but if they win a super bowl with Adams on the roster it's absolutely worth it, and I think he can be the piece that could push them over the edge, assuming the coaching staff doesnt fuck around and uses him in multiple positions like he can be used. The dude is so much more than just a "box safety". He was arguably the best pass-rusher on the jets last year lol. Hes a defensive WEAPON and there arent many of those in the league.

Do I even need to explain why I love it for the Jets? 2 1sts for a guy that's never re-signing there after getting 3 years out of his rookie deal??? Yup.

agree with these thoughts, just think seattle could've figured out a way to get Clowney, not lose 2 firsts, and accomplish what they did in this trade.

anyone saying the jets were dumb or traded adams too low obviously has no clue how these things play out in the NFL. this was their last chance at having a team make a meaningful offer, or they'd just wait it out for him to hit FA after he confirmed we wasn't re-signing.

seattle gave up a lot, but they got more. you hope to land a guy like Adams with 2 tries in the 1st round. let's see if they get him signed to a long term deal now.

What’s the point of drafting top 6 guys if u never re sign them and don’t rebuild. U swap them for late firsts? With far less success rate..... nope sorry.

but Adams already said he was leaving - getting 2 firsts, even if they are "projected" to be late firsts, is better than him just walking next off season for nothing. that's where I'd say the Jets won, not on the ROI side of the deal. They definitely lost there.

Trading Adams is part of the rebuild you're speaking of. They need A LOT more help than Adams brings, and 2 first rounds picks can, and probably will, be more valuable to THEM than Adams at whatever price he would command after his rookie deal.

i know. But its part of the bigger issue. Like gase. Sucking, getting a top pick, having him for years and not keeping him does little for you......

lol weren't they rebuilding when they drafted adams? wasnt he a cornerstone piece to that rebuild? When you keep picking high, then lose those pieces, its not really a good thing. He was supposed to be a cornerstone in the rebuild, now we start churning over again.......and hope out of those 2 picks, you get one who is 50% as good as he was.......

As far as Clowney goes, that depends on him and still could happen. Matter of him understanding his asking price over shot the market by a lot. Trading for Adams doesn't hinder signing Clowney or maybe Griffin.
The trade was a over pay. Similar to over paying for Jimmy Graham or Percy Harvin. Hopefully has better results. Certainly makes the roster better in the here and now and if the Seahawks can improve the DL and pass rush, who knows how far they could go.

Nah that was Kansas City.

Honestly the reason I said winless is if baseball can't even get through a weekend how is football going to do it?

If there is no season then everyone goes winless and no team has a lost either.

Think the Seahawks would love to sign him, but are not going to pay him what he's asking for. No team is going to pay him like he wants paid. Think if he gets realistic then the Seahawks would/ will sign him.
