Welcome back Fields

Kid was as being disrespected

 

[fightinfunbags]

My dumbass dumpster dives with defense in fantasy football every year adding and dropping a defense weekly on what’s available based on matchups. My dumb fucking ass decided to fade the Bears offense this week haha. I scored -3 points. That’s right. I would have been better off just not playing a defense at all than playing the Commanders last night lol.

 

[DJ Fieri]

TB about to unretire....LOL.

Kid was as being disrespected

He’s still a work in progress. The over reactions go both ways. He’s not the worst kid to ever play the position and he’s not an All Pro either.

Agreed, I do think he has showed he can be successful in the league though. That 5-6 week run he went on last year was impressive.

I think Moore was being disrespected more last night. How hard is it to double a receiver? Or at least not go man to man with a rookie vs the best opposing receiver? Embarrassing defense last night.

People bashing him hardcore in that thread rmilia started....

If you put him on the Falcons? They would be a lot better than they are now.

They have some retarded ass technique they’re playing. They have DBs in man but they are giving tons of cushion in that scheme. If I’m playing man, I give my guys a chance by playing up in the grill, getting a jam, and try and reroute the WR and throw off timing. Additionally, they gamble too much. Look at nearly every Moore catch last night. The DB goes for the flailing one arm pass break up instead of securing a tackle and living to play another down.

He’s better than Ridder but at the same time, that’s not saying much haha.

It was really ugly to watch. None of the other WRs are even a threat, only Kmet is a threat otherwise. They could almost double both and be better off than they were last night.

At best Ridder is a #3 QB....he really isn't a viable backup.

Atlanta with Fields and Robinson in that backfield would be scary. Not to mention, Fields loves his TE and Pitts would be a major weapon for him. Plus London and Hollins.

Just sayin'.

Kmet is a better fit for him IMO. He actually contributes to the running game. Pitts is more of a big WR mismatch target, which is why he isn't really fitting in the Atlanta run-first scheme.

Atlanta will be better off with about 3 or 4 prospects from the 2024 draft than they will sending assets to Chicago for Fields. Fields is a guy they consider if:
1. Chicago ends up with the first pick or 2nd pick and quits on Fields after this year.
2. Atlanta doesn’t draft high enough to grab one of the QBs THEY like in their evaluation.
3. Take advantage of the fact that everyone knows Chicago is moving on and then send a 2nd or 3rd for Fields. If Chicago quits on him, they aren’t getting anything better than that for him.

Yep. Pitts is getting wasted down there.

#3 is what I am assuming.

 

[thunderc]

Moore is a YAC monster

 

[fightinfunbags]

#3 is what I am assuming.

All 3 have to happen for a move for Fields to make sense for the Falcons. Personally, I’d take a chance on Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, and Michael Pennix before I consider spending a draft asset on Fields.

 

[shopson67]

#3 is what I am assuming.

Atlanta should just reboot at QB with someone that better balances pass with that run game. Another running QB isn't going to elevate Drake and Pitts. Free agents are of course warmed over backups, so need to hit on one in the draft. They also need to start losing to improve their draft slot. At #19 I've seen Riley Leonard, Shedeur Sanders and Michael Penix projected to them, but the QBs always climb the mocks.
