Fantasy Football News and Rumors

[TREFF]

Mike Davis headed to BAL, Gus Edwards has some competition behind Dobbins now, or Dobbins and GusBus aren't recovering as quickly

Or with how RBs get injured a third RB is a good idea for teams?

I like the way Harold put it best. As much as I don't care for ol' GusBus..Mike Davis is no threat to him, but he is more competent than turning to another Tyson Williams and then being forced to rummage through the scrap pile again should disaster strike.

I've heard nothing in the way of setbacks for either of the two...also heard nothing of significant progress, but I'd rather hear no news than bad news

So wait...Thursday Night Football is only on Prime Video from now on?

Looks like it. Works for me as I don’t have cable but do have a prime account.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Davis over Gus for snaps/touches behind Dobbins when regular season rolls around. Neither bring much excitement but Davis is solid in pass pro

I'm good as well, just surprising.

"Patriots WR Nelson Agholor was not able to tell reporters who the team's offensive coordinator will be.​

The Patriots never replaced OC Josh McDaniels, who left to become Raiders head coach. And ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported in March that HC Bill Belichick may take over play-calling duties"


If that ends up being the case, and BB is calling the plays, bump up every patriot RB, form Harris, all the way down to any UDFA's. Run run run

Raiders signed WR Keelan Cole, formerly of the Jets, to a one-year contract.​

Cole, 29, has long been a productive depth wideout wherever he's been, spending last season with the Jets after four with the Jaguars.

Bears signed WR Tajae Sharpe, formerly of the Falcons, to a one-year contract.​

Sharpe, 27, spent last season in Atlanta where he posted a 25-230-0 line on 37 targets, spanning 15 appearances and seven starts for the talent-deficient Falcons. He hasn't caught a touchdown since 2019.

Bears signed WR Dante Pettis, formerly of the Giants, to a one-year contract.​

The Bears also inked fellow veteran WR Tajae Sharpe to a one-year deal Wednesday. Pettis, 26, had a productive 27-467-5 line with the 49ers as a second-round rookie in 2018 but then fell into coach Kyle Shanahan's doghouse and never escaped before landing with the Giants in 2020.

Patriots traded QB Jarrett Stidham to the Raiders.​

The Raiders are flipping late-round picks with the Patriots in exchange for Stidham. Stidham will follow his former OC Josh McDaniels to Las Vegas, likely serving as Derek Carr's backup.

"The Ringer's Steven Ruiz believes Drew Lock would represent a "smoother transition" for the Seahawks' post-Russell Wilson offense.​

Physically talented and mostly disastrous as a passer in three years with the Broncos, Lock will compete with veteran Geno Smith for Seattle's Week 1 starting gig after the team dealt Russell Wilson to Denver this offseason. ............ While neither QB will offer much fantasy appeal, Smith would certainly be better for Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf. "

Well...I'm in disagreement with that last statement. I think Drew Lock and his arm talent, and desire to push the ball, would be better for the WR's. His biggest issue in Denver, as said before, was above the shoulders, however, another large part of the issue is that Fangio restrained the offense and there was little to no pushing the ball, regardless of who was at QB. When he was allowed to let it rip, has was still not great, but better than trying to make those precise, anticipatory throws that a shorter passing game relies on.

What's your thoughts or the local buzz @HaroldSeattle

I agree with what you said. Lock has the arm to go long while Geno is a dink and dunk QB, so Lock should be better for Lockett and Metcalf . Pete likes to hammer the run, draw defenders forward then go long, so kind of ideal for Lock. Not that I feel either Lock or Geno are relevant for FF ( until I see results that suggest otherwise). Still Lock does represent a smoother transition for the offense and I didn't feel the Broncos spent much time trying to developed him. They went from Musgrave ( who Lock did OK with) to Scangarello ( who stunk as OC) to Shurmur ( likes the dink and dunk). Not ideal for a raw talent like Lock who needed work and coaching to develop. So this is the cross road for Lock, sink or swim. Seahawks drafted book ends OTs and a good ( not great) power back to go along with the fine starting WRs and I do expect Pete to make Lock his project this summer. So we'll have to see how it goes, at worse they draft a QB next year and at best they find and develop Lock into a decent starter and for pennies.

Refresh my memory, is this a Gruden pick too?

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Well not the worse landing spot, although I was hoping Chiefs or Packers.

2020, 3rd round

I think the money always put him out of the running with the Chiefs. Skyy Moore was probably the nail in that coffin. Had they taken Alec Pierce or Pickens then maybe its in the cards.

Saints are actually building a pretty frisky team right now in a wide open NFC

Yep same year as Ruggs..and like Ruggs, rarely utilized
