Fantasy Football News and Rumors

I like Worthy but long-term maybe best as a 3rd option even if his numbers might exceed that. Rice I think might be a #2 if he can hide his crazy. Kelce maybe has 1 year left as either the #4 option or an expensive backup.

I think its so obvious that the Chiefs need to get a bellcow type of back in the draft. So not Henderson (although he has some fantastic highlights) but someone. The positional values of players who can run the ball is lower so its actually possible to build that. I dont think the Chiefs can build a top 5 pass offense with the resources theyre looking at.

I got Tyreek vibes during the Bill's game. I knew Worthy was fast, but he looked.... fast.

This might sound like a completely off-the-wall suggestion, but could the Bills maybe find an NFC draft day trade partner instead of trading KC anymore additional weapons??

To be fair to the whole 3-peat thing, I think about 5 Eagles players would've needed to be injured for that to happen.

Probably, in New Orleans for sure, but he could be picked up by a team say like the Bronco's or Seahawks as a utility player perhaps, seeing he has connections with the coaching staff.

I’d take him in Detroit.

Dan was on the staff in NO…

Do we need more gimmicks on offense. Bring Hutch back and draft all LBs and DBs

I think we need interior offensive line more than DBs tbh. That group is getting old.

But I’d rather have Hill as third RB than Craig Reynolds.

We'll tradeja Hock back for LaPorta!

What the hell?

I seriously don't get this at all.

Wealthy men who can basically get anything they want privately, instead get a kick out of abusing the working class?

Is this a thrill?

Or is this all just a setup for money by the women and their attorneys?

The Baltimore Banner reports that seven additional massage therapists have come forward alleging misconduct by Ravens K Justin Tucker.

Tucker has now been accused of misconduct by 16 different therapists across eight different spas. Like the others, these new accusations also include allegations of Tucker exposing himself to therapists, rubbing himself on them, and at times, touching their thighs. All 16 of Tucker’s accusers are women with similar stories. Whether they say it or not, it’s growing increasingly difficult for the Ravens to justify keeping Tucker, 35, around as allegations continue to mount.

Rumors starting to swirl that Raiders might be interested in moving up to 1.01

As a titans fan, the thought excites me

oh dear god no..If it's Cam Ward, ok fine- I don't buy him either and don't want them mortgaging future draft picks to get him, but he's certainly a much better option than Shaduer FN Sanders

I dont follow every analyst but I think every one I've followed has Ward ahead of Sanders.

I think it would be a bold gamble if the Titans passed on Ward. Yeah, they need a WR, and a RT, and maybe an edge rusher. Who doesn't? Im not sure how a team can go three seasons with Will Levis.

If the Titans can acquire extra 1st rd picks from Raiders, Jets, Giants, or maybe even the Saints?, I think they have to pull the trigger with how many holes are on their roster and just not having the type of current roster build that's conducive to a rookie QB being successful. Agree that you have to pull the plug on Levis, don't cut him or anything, dude has a live arm, but bring in a vet that takes his starting spot this year. A couple QB2 seasons to continue to develop is required after playing behind the Titans OL to start his career.

Ridley is still good, the RBs looked pretty dang good at times last yr, even Chig flashed when Levis was out, but there's zero guys on offense that a defense has to specifically game plan for. While that has its advantages, at the very minimum, you need a difference maker at QB to do anything with that kind of roster, unless your goal is a 6-8 win season. I guess the impenetrable defense + stout OL strategy is still solid in NFL, but not realistic with current Titans team.

The have needs at every level of the defense to go along with 2 big holes on the OL at RT and RG. Is Cush gonna be healthy in time to start the season at C?

There's gonna be lots of smoke regarding someone trading for BigJeff too, but i think you gotta do whatever it takes to keep him and TSweat together for the duration of Sweat's rookie deal. That's the key building block of the defense.

Ok this post is way too long, but I've been pumped to see what the revamped Titans front office does as i believe the Ran firing was partly due to getting this pick right. getting the QB situation fixed is priority #1 but doesnt have to equate to picking Cam or Sanders at 1.01 if there's decent offers on the table. I'd rather waste a late 1st on Dart if that means I get extra future 1sts from a team like Raiders or Jets

I think Levis is fine as a backup. He is in the Drew Lock zone imo unless something pretty drastic changes. QB3 in the draft might be Tyler Shough out of Louisville and funny enough he is actually a couple months older than Levis since he has been in college for 7 years. COVID in general did some weird things in the draft and the past couple of drafts and I think even this one should be seen with a lens of maybe competing a bit earlier than normal with some players who are older coming out. Trading down and accumulating talent might make it really difficult to actually get a QB through the draft later on.

Now if you trade your DT then you need to punt on this season. If you dont then you build on it. Thats probably where I'd draw the line.

CJ Stroud is the only QB in the AFC South that really looks like a guy who can win a Super Bowl. I'd be awfully tempted by Cam Ward and resisting the urge to full tank like the Bears did.

Pretty much in agreement with everything Monkey said. Ward and Shaduer are both stretches to be the 'franchise QB' Neither are the 'Andrew Luck' type of prospect. So if some other team is willing to give up a small ransom in picks, the Titans would be foolish not to pull the trigger, imho.
And let's be honest, Will Levis is not likely to be the answer, but there are worse QB's in the league to ride for one more season. He had some moments that suggest he might be okay

My biggest knock on Levis is that i can't tell if he needs to stop thinking and let his instincts take over or maybe try to actually use his brain and try to anticipate his next moves better.

Running for your life has that effect on a developmental QB

The funny thing about the Andrew Luck type of prospect....we've had 3? in recent memory. Andrew Luck. Trevor Lawrence. Caleb Williams. Thats not exactly a model for success, either.

My read on the QBs might be a bit different since I'm not too invested in looking at the QBs but Ward looks high risk, high reward and Sanders looks medium risk, low reward. I think they're fairly different prospects.

The 3 QBs that come to mind with Sanders are Tua, Bradford, and Mac Jones.

Whats funny is that the Titans have been here before. They basically traded Goff for Derrick Henry and a bunch of other players that I dont think amounted to a lot. So maybe they do the same thing again.
