no one believed us alll this time...............:nod:

No one was saying Conner won't start the season as a bellcow the problem is the other backs behind him are more talented and he has had injury issues. If you still think he's worth spending a 1st on good luck.

puts a little damper on Lindsay too

Yeah, maybe...and maybe it hurts Freeman as well. I'm kinda fascinated with what the Broncos are doing this year. Gonna be interesting to see how everything plays out.

I'd say the Theo signing is more of a reflection on the short passing game receivers than anything serious he could take away from Freeman/Lindsey. Hamilton isnt looking good at all, theres no one of note behind him in the slot. Huerman stinks, and Fant just isnt ready to be THE guy at TE. Riddick is an option to run those types of routes out of the slot or the backfield.

He might take a tiny bit of the actual Rb touches, but most of his production will come at the expense of what would've been available targets for the slot/TE.
Doubtful he takes anything more than Booker would've anyways

Bronco RBs combined for almost 120 targets last yr, Lindsay and Booker both got about 40 - 45% and Freeman got leftovers.

I think Riddick shifts that distribution a bit

Here's the underlying (well, maybe kinda) thing: Flacco isn't happy about being dismissed as a place holder, and he's already made that clear. Lock isn't ready, unless the Broncs say the hell with it and throw him into the fire.

They are obviously keyed into a short passing game that they think will suit Flacco. Right off the bat, that means Riddick over Booker.

But what if Flacco doesn't agree with the arrangement? What if he says "FU, I'm gonna do it myyyy wayyy!!"

It could happen. For all his faults, Flacco ain't no kid. He knows how to play the game.

I think this whole arrangement is freakin' fascinating.

Well, I think its a given Booker is gone, they might even leave him in Canton tonight, so he's pretty much assured of those. And maybe he takes around a third or a tick more if Lindsey's..so Lindsey goes from 2.1 catches a game to one...not exactly a game changing difference. And Freeman was barely getting one a game anyways.
Point being, that wasn't a strength for either if them, nor was it ever likely to be one, so they really aren't losing much.

Well, getting left in Canton might not be the worst thing for him. :pound::pound::pound:

Mohamed Sanu (WR) Current ADP: 219 overall
Let me be clear – Sanu isn’t going to break out as a top-20 receiver without an injury to one of Julio Jones or Calvin Ridley, but he’s here because he’s continually underrated. Did you know he was a WR3 or better in 43.8 percent of his games last year? Same as Chris Godwin, Calvin Ridley, and Larry Fitzgerald. That percentage was 66.7 percent in 2017, the 13th-highest mark in the league. He can produce without injury, but can be a WR2-type producer with an injury.

Zay Jones (WR) Current ADP: 195 overall
Does no one realize the Bills have the same coaching staff and the same quarterback? You know, the ones who targeted Jones a team-high 102 times last year? Most don’t realize he finished as a top-36 receiver in fantasy, but he did. While the addition of John Brown is surely to take away from that total, it’s not like Brown has lost his entire role with the team as a player who’s heading into his third season.

DeVante Parker (WR) Current ADP: 204 overall/Albert Wilson (WR) Current ADP: 232 overall
If Ryan Fitzpatrick remains the starter, like he started camp as, Parker and Wilson will both likely return solid value in fantasy drafts. Fitzpatrick has shown the ability to support multiple fantasy options at receiver over the last five years. Parker is the only receiver on this team who has 120-target potential, which is why he’s well worth the risk of his 204 overall price tag. Wilson flashed in a very limited sample last year, though it is a brand-new offense in Miami. He can be the safety valve over the middle of the field.

Phillip Dorsett (WR) Current ADP: 324 overall
Has anyone added up all the lost targets from the Patriots offense? I have. It’s 227 targets that have been vacated. Is everyone expecting rookie N’Keal Harry to just walk into 100-plus targets? I don’t. Those targets have to go somewhere, and the Patriots already showed they valued Burkhead by bringing him back in 2019, while Dorsett is likely to be a starting wide receiver. The Patriots have finished top-six in scoring for as long as anyone remembers, so there’s plenty of value to be found on this roster, and these two have experience in the system.

Marquise Goodwin (WR) Current ADP: 192 overall
Remember when Goodwin was drafted as a top-30 receiver in some drafts last year? Before getting hurt and then dealing with some personal issues, Goodwin posted 55 yards and/or a touchdown in 4-of-8 games to start the season. Yes, Dante Pettis is moving into the No. 1 role, but he’s also going to cost an awful lot more. Kyle Shanahan’s offense works best when he has a field-stretcher, and that’s

Andre Ellington (RB) Current ADP: 367 overall/Bruce Anderson (RB) Current ADP: 377 overall
Is it possible that we’ve all overlooked one of the more underrated signings of the offseason? Ellington used to play for Bruce Arians, and in case you forgot, he was an RB2 or better in 16 of his first 27 games under Arians. He’s the best pass-catcher among the running backs on the roster. This is a situation where we’re chasing the starting running back in an Arians-led offense, as it presents tons of value. Anderson was undrafted, but many felt like he could overcome the current talent on the roster.

But just the ones i really agree with, and arent common sense, alot of the ones listed are the guys everyone is on. SOme others like john ross or paul richardson are just silly
