Arthur Smith has that effect on people
And by “people,” I mean a disproportionately large segment of the fantasy football community

Cautiously optimistic! PPR fits Blue’s skill set well; he’s got more juice
Caveats: As a letdown, Javonte Williams has averaged 50 rec per 17 gms
Miles Sanders: very productive for the 2022 NFC Champs; not a fit in CAR
Fellow rookie Phil Mafah could get goalline work
RBBC but I like Blue at cost

Are we scared by DJ Giddens and Khalil Herbert? The former is somewhat interesting, but he’s a Day 3 pick and subpar in pass pro, so he should serve in a reserve role. The latter will be on his third team in 2 years and has comfortably entered “journeyman territory”

Solid list for sure, but curious: why the Jonathan Taylor snub?
1,567 yards from scrimmage (4th per gm); 12 TDs last year despite missing 3+ games
I get injury-prone concerns, but he’ll be 26 in Week 17. Alvin Kamara will be 30 by Aug 1; hasn’t played a full 16-17 game season since his rookie year

True…not perfect at all, but at least four conference champions got byes instead of two and Notre Dame
Independents (and others) who don’t earn a berth by playing and winning in a conference championship simply don’t deserve a bye IMO
comment in response to
post
Oh, I agree!
Having the four conference champions get byes takes some of that subjectivity out.
If you can’t win your conference, you don’t deserve a bye, plain and simple.

A playoff system exists to remove subjectivity from the argument of who the best team teams in the country are.
Don’t see the need to re-introduce subjectivity into its seeding.

This is also really good for the Big Ten.
For now.
Once the SEC gets three teams and the Big Ten gets only one, all bets are off!
They gave last year‘s model exactly one year. Too small of a sample size to say it doesn’t work.

Well, I’m glad you’re both here! FWIW I definitely prefer it here and don’t go to the other site anymore

I respect that
For me, when I compare their first two seasons, Pitts actually scored more fantasy pts than Kincaid despite 2 fewer games
And Pitts is actually a year younger than Kincaid
Dammit, just when I thought I was out…

Oops. I lied.
Drafted Pitts in FCE 😬

I want to join you but I’m still in recovery from Kyle Pitts (and probably always will be)

Definitely do it! Got my wife one last year…and Toy Story shirts for the kids. They’re still wearing them now and then a year later 🫶

Could say the same about you, Jake.

Best way to get out of it:
Embrace it.
Feel the feelings, then tell the brain “thanks for sharing.” Shift to thoughts that give you positive energy
Then name 3 things you’re grateful for each night before bed
Don’t beat yourself up; every single human goes through those moments at some point!

If you'd like to draft with us tonight, then I have 3 more spots open in Sleeper! You can pick draft spot 3, 5, or 8. Hurry before they all get taken!

Sampson will be the value, for sure; Judkins will be pricey
I just can’t get the OL out of my head. The unit was Top 5 in the NFL when Chubb was at his peak but they’ve taken a big step back since
Likelihood of subpar QB play and more negative game scripts (o/u 5.5 wins) won’t help the situation

A bold, yet necessary take
And Pace deserves all the strays for being so incredibly mid

Mooney’s best was 2021 with Fields (81-1055-4) but he had a good year as a WR2 in ATL
2021 CHI WR2: a decaying Allen Robinson (38-410-1 in 12 gms).
WR3 Damiere Byrd; WR4 Marquise Goodwin
Micheal Pittman:
2023: 109-1152-4
2024: 69-808-3
Josh Downs:
2023: 68-771-2
2024: 72-803-5 (missed 3 gms)

I’ll also offer that I married into a Michigan family, so I don’t think you appreciate the risks I take when I stan for an Ohio State Buckeye 😆
comment in response to
post
I hear you, but the same was true with this group below…who somehow caught about 10% more passes (50% vs 60%) than ones thrown by AR to Josh Downs, Michael Pittman, et al
ARich had undeniably a much more talented group to work with

Fair! Here’s a more apples-to-apples comparison of their first 2 seasons
Two different OCs for Fields, same one for AR
You saw the list of Bears WRs from 2022, a room that only the Arena League could love
AR has a high ceiling, but so does Justin; I just see Fields as more likely to approach his
comment in response to
post
That’s somewhat reassuring, I guess. I just don’t project Anthony Richardson as being more productive than Justin Fields on the ground
And for all of the criticism of Fields as a passer, he has clearly been far more accurate than AR, who had better weapons to work with to date (behind a better OL)
comment in response to
post
Would rather have Fields in 2025 & beyond
Unpopular take, but I’m not sure Anthony Richardson even finishes the year as the starter
Trey Lance: 56.6% completion pct., 7.4 YDS/ATT, 6.87 Air Yards/ATT in 12 games
AR: 50.6% completion rate, 6.9 YDS/ATT, 5.82 AY/A in 15 games
Similar draft capital

WRs who started 3+ games for the 2022 Chicago Bears:
Darnell Mooney (will never be a WR1)
Byron Pringle
Chase Claypool
Equanimeous St Brown
Dante Pettis
“Honorable” Mention: Velus Jones, Jr (2 starts)
Don’t forget cameos by N’Keal Harry and Ihmir Smith-Marsette
We forget how bad it really was
comment in response to
post
Don’t agree with “many chances”
Bears didn’t invest 1/10 as much in improving his supporting cast as they have with Caleb. 2 bad OCs in his first 2 years and was stuck with Eberflus
Steelers brought in future HOF Russell Wilson, who missed 6 gms with injury before getting the gig he was promised
comment in response to
post
Very true! Talked about this earlier today. Impossible to predict everything, and over-reliance on prior year data is indeed a trap
Coaching changes in particular are often underweighted
Personnel changes (OL included) also matter
Such variables can & should be accounted for in projections
comment in response to
post
Wouldn’t be a stretch to see both of them become highly productive Top 15-20 WRs as Travis Kelce continues to age and becomes less of a factor in the offense
comment in response to
post
Love to see it for all three
Rice in particular is a forgotten man, for some reason, in a community that typically tends to overdraft talented players coming back from injury.
Especially head-scratching since he’s also catching passes from a HOF QB in his prime

Given jet lag, it’s fair to wonder if that second game could actually turn into a slight advantage for MIN unless
CLE has a bye or Thursday game the week before;
MIN doesn’t get to enjoy a bye week immediately after
comment in response to
post
Was just talking about him today
1300 total yds last season; 1K+ rushing
Most of it after the Cowboys realized they couldn’t feed Old Man Zeke anymore
Rico Dowdle played 50% or fewer of snaps in all six games before the Cowboys Week 7 bye
Reverse was true in all but one game after the bye
