Fantasy Football News and Rumors

I think they see what they have in Harris this year, and Stevenson was more of an insurance pick. Big back, so definitely fits the mold, but unless its a best ball format, I'm avoiding Pats & Texans RBs

 

[SteelersPride]

Well assuming your forced with a choice of Patriot RB's..he's the one I start...preferably, you're not in that position to start with..unless his owners get lucky and he realizes "untapped potential".

I'm talking as a flex option, a bye week fill in, an injury replacement...not your planned RB1 or 2

Sorry dude. I misinterpreted your point completely. I though you were talking real life. Like Bill B should make him the starter. I admittedly

Ha, no no..I think that the opportunity to compete for the starting job should be there, but beyond that, he'll no, he's gotta beat out Michel and Harris and earn it...which I do think is totally within the realm of possible, but yea, gotta earn it...including the short yardage role

Yeah, so are Will and I...........oh wait, nevermind

Hm... we can start DJ at RB1, Lindsay at RB2, and Ingram and Burkhead at flex. That way we won’t miss a scrap of that precious Texan production.

Naw...Julio just went to being the most under utilized stud WR in the league, that's about it

So does this raise Pitts and Ridley value?

 

[TREFF]

So does this raise Pitts and Ridley value?

Ridley, sure at least a little..I can't imagine a rookie TE's value actually going up, considering it's already more than could conceivably be returned in year one. His HYPE might go up, but if he's going to play the position of TE..his rookie year is going to disappoint his owners.

For me, I've been trying to figure out who is going to be opposite Ridley..that's what's going to be a bump

Wouldn't that be Gage?

 

[wilwhite]

The Sportswhites have both Julio and Gage. Muy bueno.

You do, so you feel this worked out for Sportswhites?

I think we're going to see Henry's insane work load from the last 2yrs dialed down a bit and more of the O running through Tannehill this yr, so only 25 touches a game for Henry instead of 30, lol

 

[TREFF]

Wouldn't that be Gage?

Will it?? I dunno. First dibbs maybe I guess?

 

[Bandit]

I think the biggest thing that does is kills any value that Firkser or Josh Reynolds had as sleepers.

Haha..well 5 less touches is five less touches. But Tranny has had a career resurrection due to that offense being Henry Henry Henry, and then not screwing up too terribly bad when he had his chances. Imho, they'd be making a mistake to start leaning on Tranny much more

 

[TREFF]

To piggyback on Bandit's thoughts...

This is a disaster Fantasy wise, almost all the way around.

Fantasy value winners/losers, in my valuation:

Winners-
whoever gets #2wr job in ATL-

Ridley- with one caveat...can he be THE guy that DC's scheme against?? No true threat in the running game, no one is going to gameplan a rookie TE until he prove they have too..it'll all be on Ridley

Tanneyhill- but only minor. Corey Davis was no slouch. He may never have lived up to his first round draft status, but he's a quality NFL receiver, and it's not like Tenn. will suddenly become the greatest show on turf.

Losers-
Julio- possibly the worst of any potential landing spots, including Baltimore where at least he'd have been the unquestioned go to guy.

Reynolds

Matt Ryan- you're not replacing a Julio Jones, regardless of age, with a rookie TE, regardless of how "sure fire HOF" everyone says he is.

Win some and lose some= a wash -
AJB- likely to lose a few targets, luckily for him they likely won't be red zone targets as Julio is notorious for not scoring TD's consistently. But, no longer can defenses load the box with 8, bracket Brown, and hope Davis doesn't beat 1 on 1 coverage. Julio will beat 1 on 1 coverage most everytime, meaning occasionally, hopefully a little more often than he used to be, AJB will be left with those one on ones. BTW, let's not get too crazy, Davis did leave 92 targets behind, AJB only had 106, both played in 14 games...there's plenty for Julio without touching anything from AJB's share.

Henry- perhaps a little more passing, slightly less touches..but as laid out above, defenses will have a much tougher time loading the box when they cannot afford single coverage on either outside WR, so the carries he gets, potentially could find more production.
