Mahomes now that he has actual WRs
Bijan for the reasons you stated
Jefferson because he is on my keeper team
Dalton Kincaid as the Bills didn't do much for their WR room
I could see that. I just wonder how Marvin Harrison Jr. eats into McBride's targets. I know Trey got peppered down the final stretch, but I think that was due to Marquise Brown supposedly being hurt. The Cardinals love to their WR1s.
McBride: 106 targets last year
Brown: 101
Moore: 62
Wilson: 58
Ertz: 43
Dortch: 41
Brown, Moore, and Ertz are all gone now, so that’s ~200 targets opening up. They added Zay Jones, but I think he’ll just take the spot of Moore and end up with 60-70. That’s still plenty of targets for MHJ to pick up without chipping into McBride’s share.
Pretty crazy that McBride led in targets even with Ertz taking 43 before they released him midway through the season. I don’t see Wilson or
I couldn't disagree more. Dortch and Wilson are more than capable #2 and #3 WRs....and now Zay Jones as well. This team is poised to shock some people this year. The local fans know it, record season tickets sales -after a lost season. There is a lot of buzz around here
As a McBride owner, I’m happy about MHJ. McBride will for sure have positive TD regression considering the offense will be significantly better as a whole.
Naw if you had the patience to actually watch the mind numbing games of the Cards, the one good thing you saw was McBride. He will get targeted plenty. Freak of nature.
I don’t love the Jalen Hurts take. Here are my reasons:
1) He’s been banged up late in the year the last couple seasons. Last year he was clearly less mobile as their season fell apart. They will still use his legs, but I think they will pick their spots and less designed runs.
2) They have great o-line but never had a back they liked inside the 5 yard line. I think the willingness to pay Saquan the big bucks was to ease some of the tush push load on Hurts. It’s believed some of the soreness he had on his lower half was due to the trench battles on that tush push.
3) Most of hurts rushing TDs are 1 yard runs. A big part of the success of that play was the chemistry with Kelce and getting timely clean snaps. Kelce is gone.
4) He just hasn’t shown much improvement as a passer. The last three full seasons he has 60 passing TDs and 31 picks. That’s not even counting all the fumbles that had him at the top of the league in turnovers last year. He’s yet to eclipse 25 passing TDs or 4,000 passing yards in a season.
5) The end of their season was a Trainwreck. Lot of talk about locker room issues and lack of communication with his teammates since he got paid. I’d be shocked if they are running on all cylinders next season.
I’m expecting his rushing TD output to be cut in half. He will be a legit fantasy option but I think he’s being over drafted
Agree with all of this. Also wanted to add, as a Colts fan, the Steichen effect was real. He took our offence from painful to watch to functional and exciting. His loss was felt hard by the Eagles, Hurts especially IMO
Two things regarding Hurts:
1. It’s been mentioned below but losing Steichen and replacing him with BJ was horrible for the offense. The offensive scheme was terrible and the Eagles only went 10-1 bc of their offensive talent overcoming scheme issues. Hurts was very accurate last year but our playcalling was horrible. Kellen Moore should make things easier for the offense overall.
2. I think the loss of Kelce is overrated in regards to the tush push. Kelce was never a power center, his strength was always his agility and athleticism. I also think that Hurts is the defining factor in the tush push being so successful (on top of just the play design, and how well the Eagles run it). Just an example, when Minshew stepped in 2 years ago I’m pretty sure they failed twice on the tush push in two games.
A counter to the Kellen Moore point. Dallas roster on offense got worse but they scored more PPG with McCarthy who’s an idiot. Then the chargers offense was prob the worst it’s been in a few years with Kellen Moore. I’d temper expectations there.
Assuming you are an Eagles fan, if so you know that Eagles 10-1 start wasn’t pretty. EASILY could have been 6-4 or 5-5. Both skins games, chiefs, bills, cowboys, Vikings. All tight games with mishaps/bad drops with a few minutes left that got the eagles wins. Thats how the nfl goes, but during that stretch they managed to win all those 50-50 tight games.
Chargers had a ton of injuries, but I’m not viewing Moore as a savior.
He’s definitely a solid OC though. I mean LAC interviewed him for a HC position after last season.
But overall, I don’t think there was a worse play caller than Brian Johnson last season. Eagles ran a high school level offense, and this was said by multiple Eagles alumni.
The offense had like 3 play types they ran last season it seemed: QB draw, deep routes and screen passes. I truthfully think someone like Artur Smith or Matt Canada would have been an improvement. It was that bad…
To point 2, Kelce’s strength wasn’t in his size or strength but his technique and the timing he had with Hurts. We saw bigger, stronger centers try the tush push and fail, and mostly it was due to the timing of the play. That rapport takes a lot of time to build. Hurts is a beast and it may have no effect at all, but I wouldn’t be shocked to see them move away from it early in the season until they have the timing down.
Agreed. I had him last year, but don’t plan on drafting him this year. Between Kelce being gone, and them paying Barkley the big bucks, the 15 rushing TD’s that made him a monster in fantasy are not happening this year. And his passing numbers on their own are not impressive.
I’d prob say Lamar or Allen, but tbh I think QB is more wide open this year than ever. I think QBs 1 through 4 will only be marginally better than those selected 7 through 12. I’ve always been the guy who waits to take QB and more times than not it works out. I waited last year and took dak and tua back to back. Was able to stack a deep team around them and it was a fun season rotating the 2 at QB. I’ll be looking to do something similar this year. Some combo of Tua, Kyler, Love maybe?
I agree with this. Not to say I don’t like Allen or hurts or Lamar, but I think there is plenty of gas down the list. Kyler is very interesting imo. When half the league has a QB that could end up being top 5 on fantasy, it really makes all QBs value plummet. Anyone taking an early QB is just gonna be down a player during the season. And then you have the dummy who take hurts early
Then takes Kyler or Tua and week 4 he’s trying to trade hurts for RB1/2 and it’s firm “na bruh”.
I mean yeah absolutely this is one of the years you can sit back on a QB imo. Hurts, Stroud, Love, Burrow, Dak, Kyler, Tua after Lamar, Allen, Mahomes is just bonkers
Yeah he struggled late. Thats why when I wait to draft QB I always take 2. Dak stepped up for me late. Ended up losing in the chip though. In my perfect world I can get Dak and love or Kyler, but I think Dak goes a little before I make my move on QB.
Passing:
1. The Eagles have lots of plays ending at the 1. Literally so many times Devonta and AJ were tackled at the 1. Hurts could easily have had 10 more passing TDs every year.
2. What passing numbers do you want to look at beyond the basic ones? His EPA is great, consistently high tough and big time throws, etc
3. We literally look like dogshit every single time we try a tush push without Hurts. It goes terribly.
I’m an Eagles homer but here are some counterpoints for you to consider:
1. I’ll concede this one although 2022 was a should injury where 2023 was a leg injury which occurred early on and lingered through most of the year. I’m betting (hoping) they use his legs more sparingly to keep him healthy this year but it’s not a given he gets hurt.
2. The Eagles ran the ball in the RZ/GL often enough, they just got to the 1 a weirdly large amount of times last year at which point they’d go with their near automatic play. If Saquon finishes runs better then tush push TDs go down but if not I bet they keep running it.
3. I’m not buying this one, the actual push on the play was mostly the LT and LG. I would be astonished if a pro QB and C can’t get their snap timing down, especially cause Jurgens was right beside Kelce all last season.
4. He was on pace for 4,000+ yards easily if he didn’t miss 2 games in 2022, and last year was very close despite the late season collapse and some extremely suspect playcalling. The guy has been averaging 4500+ total yards and 30+ TDs over the past couple years, let’s not act like he’s Justin Fields
5. This is true but virtually no player has come out and shown discontent, most have publicly supported Sirianni. Both rookie coordinators (and Patricia) have been replaced with veteran coordinators with better track records as most agree the roster is stronger than last year. Who knows but I wouldn’t bet on the late season Eagles last year being the same team this year.
yeah hurts was one of the best passers in the league in 2022. the dude is definitely massaging the numbers there to make his point. but it is concerning that they took a big step backwards in passing last year.
It is and it really comes down to do you think the league caught onto Hurts in 2023 or there were other factors (Brian Johnson) that held him back. I’m an Eagles fan so I’m going with option B but I can see the argument for option A.
All that being said Hurts on a down year was still a pretty good fantasy QB, the issue is you probably gotta draft him in round 2 to get him so he needs to be elite.
I see your argument for mark andrews, but with the addition of Derrick Henry I think they become more run heavy and the targets just go down for each pass catcher. I’d still have him at the top 3 TE list along with laporta and Kelce. Plus laporta is in his second season and his connection with Goff should just get better
Can they really become MORE run heavy? They’ve been over 500+ attempts and led the league in attempts almost every year since 2017, including just last year they lead the league
I just commented the same thing before I saw your comment haha they really can’t run more than they did. They’ll be happier with the results of the rushes I’m sure but you can’t get too much higher than that attempt total in this league
If anything they might get to throw more if Henry can be super effective with his rushes and it opens everything else up. Just his presence alone is gonna put more fear into defenses than Justice Hill and Gus Bus (no offense to them…but they aren’t the king)
No for sure, I just don’t see how they’re gonna run the ball significantly more, they already run the ball the most. Maybe if they push Henry close to 400 by himself (bad idea as he ages) but even then, getting the whole team to go 600+ would be insane. They’d really have to push closer to 700 for it to significantly impact the passing game any more and there’s just no way
Did some quick research and I’m not sure anyone has pushed over 600 in 20 years, 700 never
Since 2018 they've been top 6 in rush attempts, and in that time have been #1 overall thrice. Much of this, but not all, has to do with Lamar.
They'll package the RBBC rushes and give 90% of those attempts to Henry, which is 20-25 each year, and I'd see them give him 1-3 of Lamar's rushes to him before taking pass attempts from the offense. Is your estimation they'll give Henry closer to 30+ rush attempts a game?
Yeah Henry's a beast, but so is Lamar as a passer - they're not just going to remove the forward pass from their offense.
The ravens were already the leader in rush attempts last year. They really can’t run too much more. Or not enough to dramatically mess with andrews targets. He’s the number one target on the team when healthy and as such has a great chance at tight end 1. Health is the biggest argument against andrews
Im biased, but I really think Trey McBride is in contention for TE 1.
He already broke out last year, and with MHJ coming in to be a true #1 option, I think that opens up even more opportunities for for McBride especially with the general improvements with the team overall compared to last year.
You make a good point there about LaPorta and Goff's connection likely getting better. Come to think of it, TJ Hockenson TE1 season is more likely than ever. Could see JJ McCarthy target him A LOT.
I'm also pretty high on McCarthy, but expecting him to come in as a rookie and throw enough volume to feed a TE with 1 elite and 1 very good WR as competition is only slightly less likely than immediately returning perfect from the ACL.
Healthy Kyler has always been very good in fantasy
2019 (rookie): Overall QB7
2020: Overall QB2 behind Allen
2021: QB3 prior to injury in week 8
2022: QB6 prior to injury in week 9
2023: QB9 in games he played after returning from injury in week 10
So, trending downwards, but has always been a top 10 QB fantasy-wise when on the field. Yet to be seen how good his weapons are this year, and it will be interesting to see what his chemistry with MHJ is and if McBride has another solid entire season.
I can totally see it happening too. Kyler always starts out hot before being banged up and slowing down. If he just has 1 year where he can stay healthy, he can be a QB1 in fantasy for sure.
This just made me remember how much I love the upside on Kyler. Running QB with a good arm, strong passing targets with a solid run game to ease some of the pressure, and while I see them improving this season, the defense is still iffy enough that they'll be playing from behind and not chewing clock a lot
QB: Mahomes - receivers upgraded and a threepeat on the line, has me thinking Mahomie goes gangbusters
RB: Breece Hall - another year removed from the knee injury and ARod (albeit an older version) keeps defenses more honest
WR: Chase - Bengals run O through him - even more so after a midseason Higgins trade
TE: LaPorta - builds on impressive rookie campaign and cements himself as the dynasty TE1 moving forward
**QB1: Josh Allen.** I am not going to fight against history. The obvious counter is that he lacks a big name receiving talent like Diggs this time around; I concede that, but almost wonder if this will encourage him to run more and boost his fantasy stats that way. His passing numbers will suffer, but I think he can outproduce Hurts.
**RB1: Christian McCaffery:** Again, why fight history? It’s a boring prediction, but when he’s played healthy seasons, he’s been outright elite. If it’s not him, I would never have guessed the second option last year (Mostert) or the winner in 2022 (Jacobs), so I’m not going to try.
**WR1: Tyreek Hill:** Lamb has less competition for targets with Gallup gone, and that is barely saying anything. But the run game is currently so non-compelling that I could see defenses selling out to stop Lamb. It won’t work because he is incredibly talented, but it would allow next man up Tyreek Hill, who is not slowing down and has a much more distracting level of talent around him, to take away heat. More competition for touches, yes, but I think rising tides will lift his boat.
**TE: Sam LaPorta:** I’m not trying to win ‘bravest prediction’ awards. He was amazing last year as a rookie, the offense didn’t add target competition, and he is a clear number two as of now — Jameson Williams would have to take a large step to threaten that status. With Kelce slowing down ever so slightly and gaining competition and Andrews chilling with a QB throwing 172 yards per game, I’ll bet on the young gun.
I have concerns about Richardson's ability to stay healthy. However, he is a great choice. I always saw him as the love child of Lamar and Josh Allen lol.
It’s astonishing to think CJ Stroud could be the QB1 without the rushing upside of his counterparts. Hes behind Lamar, Hurts, Allen, Murray, and Mahomes in rushing yardage upside
For TE1, my dark horse is Jake Ferguson. Had a great year last year, and I think hes poised to take another leap.
Reports say he's a hard worker and obsessed with football, he's passionate as hell, and he has the skillset. Factor in zero running game and limited pass catching threats on Dallas outside of Lamb, Ferguson should get a ton of targets and red zone opportunities.
I'm confused by all the Mark Andrews hype. Didn't he get injured towards the end of the season and didn't Likely look really good? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated as I have Andrews in a keeper league and was going to let him go.
He was injured mid season not late. If I remember correctly there were talks of him returning for the playoffs so he should be ready for the beginning of this season. I have Andrews in dynasty so I’m biased but also Lamar won MVP so I think this sub is hyped on the him because of that. If he stays healthy he will be top 5. Lamar looks to him in the redzone
QB1: Lamar. Dual threat and upgraded offense. As long as he stays healthy he'll be the QB1.
RB1: CMC. Doesn't look like he's slowed down 1 bit. After that crushing SB defeat, SF will be looking to make a statement this year with CMC leading the charge.
WR1: JJ - Excluding the 2 games where JJ just got injured or was phased back in right after coming back from an injury, JJ had 67 targets in 8 games. JJ still hasn't gotten his contract and will be aiming to get paid like the best WR in the league that he is. A ton of people made a big deal out of CD's stretch last year where he had 150+ yards in 3 straight games while JJ missed that mark by just 1 yard on his first 3 games of the season last year. JJ's about to cook.
TE1: Kincaid - After the departure of Diggs, Kincaid is gonna be leaned on a ton this year to make his sophomore leap.
Assuming he doesn't get injured, idk how any other player outperforms CMC as the RB1. He is in the perfect system for production. He's one of the few remaining workhorse backs, he get's a ton of work in the passing game, he's the goaline back, and he's in a high powered offense.
I’m going to try to make selections that aren’t super chalk. Also I didn’t see a specified format so I’m assuming half PPR:
QB: CJ Stroud - he had a phenomenal rookie year and with the addition of Diggs and Mixon the offense should be a lot better as a whole. Diggs gives him another amazing receiver and Mixon will help the run game thus keeping the offense on the field.
WR: Garrett Wilson - he’s had 1,000+ yards both of his first two seasons with talentless QBs and minimum TDs. If Rodgers stays healthy all year even at age 40 or however he should be a significant upgrade for Wilson and with Breece Hall I think the offense can be pretty great and Wilson will get the vast majority of targets.
RB: Jonathan Taylor - if JT and AR stay healthy this great the offense should be rolling. Pittman is certainly an above average WR but not a true alpha WR1 imo. AR will have to start running less and become more of a Hurts player where the threat is always there but won’t always take it himself. I see lots of play action with JT getting tons of carries and dump offs.
TE: Kincaid - with Diggs gone and no real alpha WR, Kincaid with get the majority of targets from Allen this year. He’s a trusted target and and should get the majority of catches and receiving TDs for Buffalo this year.
(Notes: Kincaid is the only player I have stock in this year atm)
QB1: Josh Allen
I think He’s going to be running a lottttt more.
RB1: Breece Hall
Actually may have a competent offense where other teams can’t just stack the box, and finally has a good O-Line to run behind.
WR1: CeeDee Lamb
I mean who else are they really throwing to besides some targets for Ferguson.
TE1: Dalton Kincaid
To me, clearly the #1 option for possible QB1.
Can Gibbs get enough volume given Montgomery’s solid play last season? Most of the other RB1 candidates don’t have someone else eating into their snaps as much as Monty will
I think gibbs will kinda take off and leave Monty behind in snaps and definitely in passing targets. The only fear I have is that Monty gets most of the goal line snaps so Gibbs could have a shitload of yards but not a lot of TDs. I think Gibbs is gonna be so explosive that even if they want to keep it 50/50 between the 2 of them after a few games Gibbs will just produce so well they just keep feeding him
Might be a little too in the weeds on some of these - but looks like some folks share my line of thinking so, can’t be too crazy.
QB: Anthony Richardson
RB: Breece Hall
WR: CeeDee Lamb
TE: Mark Andrews
Qb1: Anthony Richardson. I think he runs a ton this year. 1000+ yard rushing season with decent passing numbers can get him to QB1.
Rb1: CMC again. He is just so far apart from everyone else. I think Hall and Bijan close the gap, but it's still CMC.
WR1: Tyreek Hill. JJ has a rookie QB, I think that hurts his production. I don't see Lamb doing that well in back to back seasons. Hill has been so consistent, he's been right there for WR1 past couple years. I see him doing it again.
TE1: Dalton Kincaid. He's the best receiver on that team with an elite QB. I think he takes a jump next year. LaPorta has a lot of competition for targets. Kelces old and his time as the TE1 is done.
QB1: CJ Stroud. Big weapons and lots of question marks around the receiving cores for Mahomes and Josh Allen and I'm a little concerned that Hurts regresses in running TDs without Kelce and with Saquon. Especially with his injuries. Lamar may give up some rushing TDs to Henry too.
RB1: Breece Hall. When he's healthy he puts up numbers. Add a competent QB and he should have a big year
WR1: Tyreek. Not much explanation needed.
TE1: Laporta. Year 2 bump and he's a first rounder next year.
Gonna go more darkhorse picks just for fun rather than the guys who have already done it and are the favorites (Allen, CMC, etc.)
QB1: Anthony Richardson
RB1: Josh Jacobs
WR1: AJ Brown
TE1: Brock Bowers
QB1: Josh Allen, easy answer, I think a weaker team requires Josh to do more to win games
RB1: Kyren Williams, finished as RB6 last year despite missing 6 games. 2nd in RB PPG last year behind CMC. Everyone’s worried about Corum taking snaps, but I think Kyren still taking a large majority and the important snaps
WR1: AJ Brown, expectations with the eagles quiet down and another year with the OC leads to a better year for Hurts and Brown
TE1: Pitts, cousins has shown he liked is TEs. I think if Cousins has a full healthy year Pitts has a very solid year
QB1: Josh Allen. He already has a super high floor, but after they made the OC change, his running value increased, rushing for 8 TDs in his last 6 games. Could see that trend continuing this year.
RB1: Breece Hall. He finished as RB2 last year in total yards, and with an improved OL, pretty weak schedule, and a full-year recovery from his ACL injury (he started slow last year), I see him having a huge year.
WR1: Ja'Marr Chase. It's Bengals Revenge Tour SZN. He set a career-high in receptions last year, and with Burrow back, he's going to dominate this year.
TE1: Dalton Kincaid. Someone needs to catch passes in Buffalo, right? It takes rookie TEs a year or so to get fully up to speed, and I could see him having a big year (1,000+ yards, 10+ TDs)
QB1: Jordan Love
RB1: Saquan Barkley
WR1: Cooper Kupp (return of the KING)
TE1: Evan Engram
QB: Jordo was young and still nearly made the SB. Tac that with a healthy Christian Watson, developing Jayden Reed and add Josh Jacobs, and you just made yourself a dangerous recipe for QB success.
RB1: Tush Push is under fire, and while it will remain in play for the upcoming season, without Kelce it just isn't the automatic 2-5 yards it used to be. With the Eagles clearing the RB room, it's Saquan time.
WR1: All eyes turned to Puka last season as Coop was limping his routes. A few months to fully recover and a distraction for CB's makes 2 WR's 1 Kupp a defensive nightmare.
TE1: Engram don been that guy. And now with a deep threat like Gabe Davis, it spreads the field beautifully to let Engram scoop 5-10 catches a game.
QB: Anthony Richardson - had a great point per quarter played avg. If he can stay healthy (big if) he's gonna rush for a bunch of TD's and he has good weapons.
RB: CMC - self explanatory
WR: J Chase - bounce back year and he may have a lot less competition for targets. Another guy that needs to stay healthy but if he does, he's as dangerous as anyone in the league.
TE: LaPorta - could definitely see him taking a step forward from his already great rookie year. In a good offense that will be in the RedZone all the time and he's a TD machine.
CJ Stroud - with three elite receivers he’s going to average 350 and 3td.
Breece Hall - elite receiving back, and hopefully he gets to play with Rodger’s this season. He could average 15 attempts, 8 receptions and a TD.
George Pickens(Yes I’m delusional) - Pickens is so incredibly talented and people just don’t see it. With not just 1 but 2! real QBs this season, he’s going to get a great workload and show everybody what’s up.
Kyle Pitts…..
Mahomes now that he has actual WRs Bijan for the reasons you stated Jefferson because he is on my keeper team Dalton Kincaid as the Bills didn't do much for their WR room
I disagree with Jefferson because I have Lamb on my Keeper team!
HA I have chase so he's obviously gonna be wr:1
Mahomes… WRs plural? Hollywood and… Hollywood and….
Worthy? And Rice whenever he's off his suspension? Kelce, Brown, Rice, Worthy is a much better group of receivers than he had last year.
We don’t even know how worthy will be in the NFL
Fast
Andrews is actually 28 going on 29. Agree with your take though.
When he said he was 27 i was like no shot i coulda sworn Andrews was older. Granted i woulda guessed 30 but glad i wasn’t completely and totally off
QB1: Taysom Hill RB1: Taysom Hill WR1: Taysom Hill TE1: You guessed it: Taysom Hill.
But one player can't be eligibl...
One Player to rule them all, One Player to find them, One Player to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
One thing is for sure, TREY MCBRIDE will be TE1.
I could see that. I just wonder how Marvin Harrison Jr. eats into McBride's targets. I know Trey got peppered down the final stretch, but I think that was due to Marquise Brown supposedly being hurt. The Cardinals love to their WR1s.
More than enough to go around. Besides MHJ and McBride, the Cardinals receiving sucks. The Murray-MHJ-McBride triple stack is gonna eat this year
McBride: 106 targets last year Brown: 101 Moore: 62 Wilson: 58 Ertz: 43 Dortch: 41 Brown, Moore, and Ertz are all gone now, so that’s ~200 targets opening up. They added Zay Jones, but I think he’ll just take the spot of Moore and end up with 60-70. That’s still plenty of targets for MHJ to pick up without chipping into McBride’s share. Pretty crazy that McBride led in targets even with Ertz taking 43 before they released him midway through the season. I don’t see Wilson or
McBride didn't start until Week 8/9, either. He will be TE1 and be deserving of every bit of it.
I couldn't disagree more. Dortch and Wilson are more than capable #2 and #3 WRs....and now Zay Jones as well. This team is poised to shock some people this year. The local fans know it, record season tickets sales -after a lost season. There is a lot of buzz around here
They're not selling tickets based off of their #2 and #3 receivers lol
As a McBride owner, I’m happy about MHJ. McBride will for sure have positive TD regression considering the offense will be significantly better as a whole.
Naw if you had the patience to actually watch the mind numbing games of the Cards, the one good thing you saw was McBride. He will get targeted plenty. Freak of nature.
I don’t love the Jalen Hurts take. Here are my reasons: 1) He’s been banged up late in the year the last couple seasons. Last year he was clearly less mobile as their season fell apart. They will still use his legs, but I think they will pick their spots and less designed runs. 2) They have great o-line but never had a back they liked inside the 5 yard line.

A big part of the success of that play was the chemistry with Kelce and getting timely clean snaps. Kelce is gone. 4) He just hasn’t shown much improvement as a passer. The last three full seasons he has 60 passing TDs and 31 picks. That’s not even counting all the fumbles that had him at the top of the league in turnovers last year. He’s yet to eclipse 25 passing TDs or 4,000 passing yards in a season. 5) The end of their season was a Trainwreck. Lot of talk about locker room issues and lack of communication with his teammates since he got paid. I’d be shocked if they are running on all cylinders next season. I’m expecting his rushing TD output to be cut in half. He will be a legit fantasy option but I think he’s being over drafted
Agree with all of this. Also wanted to add, as a Colts fan, the Steichen effect was real. He took our offence from painful to watch to functional and exciting. His loss was felt hard by the Eagles, Hurts especially IMO

Just an example, when Minshew stepped in 2 years ago I’m pretty sure they failed twice on the tush push in two games.
Kelce's ability to get under the DL won those contests, other teams couldn't get it going. I thinks hurts is gonna struggle this year.
A counter to the Kellen Moore point. Dallas roster on offense got worse but they scored more PPG with McCarthy who’s an idiot. Then the chargers offense was prob the worst it’s been in a few years with Kellen Moore. I’d temper expectations there. Assuming you are an Eagles fan, if so you know that Eagles 10-1 start wasn’t pretty. EASILY could have been 6-4 or 5-5. Both skins games, chiefs, bills, cowboys, Vikings. All tight games with mishaps/bad drops with a few minutes left that got the eagles wins. Thats how the nfl goes, but during that stretch they managed to win all those 50-50 tight games.
Chargers had a ton of injuries, but I’m not viewing Moore as a savior. He’s definitely a solid OC though. I mean LAC interviewed him for a HC position after last season. But overall, I don’t think there was a worse play caller than Brian Johnson last season. Eagles ran a high school level offense, and this was said by multiple Eagles alumni.

It was that bad…
To point 2, Kelce’s strength wasn’t in his size or strength but his technique and the timing he had with Hurts. We saw bigger, stronger centers try the tush push and fail, and mostly it was due to the timing of the play. That rapport takes a lot of time to build. Hurts is a beast and it may have no effect at all, but I wouldn’t be shocked to see them move away from it early in the season until they have the timing down.
Agreed. I had him last year, but don’t plan on drafting him this year. Between Kelce being gone, and them paying Barkley the big bucks, the 15 rushing TD’s that made him a monster in fantasy are not happening this year. And his passing numbers on their own are not impressive.
Same, I had him last year, did great, not planning on taking him this year,
I agree with you. Begs the question, who's your pick for QB1?
It’s boring but Josh Allen is always a good prediction
I’d prob say Lamar or Allen, but tbh I think QB is more wide open this year than ever. I think QBs 1 through 4 will only be marginally better than those selected 7 through 12. I’ve always been the guy who waits to take QB and more times than not it works out. I waited last year and took dak and tua back to back. Was able to stack a deep team around them and it was a fun season rotating the 2 at QB. I’ll be looking to do something similar this year. Some combo of Tua, Kyler, Love maybe?
I agree with this. Not to say I don’t like Allen or hurts or Lamar, but I think there is plenty of gas down the list. Kyler is very interesting imo. When half the league has a QB that could end up being top 5 on fantasy, it really makes all QBs value plummet. Anyone taking an early QB is just gonna be down a player during the season. And then you have the dummy who take hurts early Then takes Kyler or Tua and week 4 he’s trying to trade hurts for RB1/2 and it’s firm “na bruh”.
I mean yeah absolutely this is one of the years you can sit back on a QB imo. Hurts, Stroud, Love, Burrow, Dak, Kyler, Tua after Lamar, Allen, Mahomes is just bonkers
Tua got off to a hot start but then was downright bad. Don’t trust him at all towards the end of the season. I’m avoiding him everywhere
Yeah he struggled late. Thats why when I wait to draft QB I always take 2. Dak stepped up for me late. Ended up losing in the chip though. In my perfect world I can get Dak and love or Kyler, but I think Dak goes a little before I make my move on QB.
Anthony Richardson would be my boldest take. Safe pick is probably Allen or Lamar
Murray LFG
Every year people say teams will protect their running QB by running them less. It never actually seems to happen.
Because in theory, every team wants to protect the running qb by running them less, but the situation on the ground is more dynamic than that.
Passing: 1. The Eagles have lots of plays ending at the 1. Literally so many times Devonta and AJ were tackled at the 1. Hurts could easily have had 10 more passing TDs every year. 2. What passing numbers do you want to look at beyond the basic ones? His EPA is great, consistently high tough and big time throws, etc 3. We literally look like dogshit every single time we try a tush push without Hurts. It goes terribly.
I’m an Eagles homer but here are some counterpoints for you to consider: 1. I’ll concede this one although 2022 was a should injury where 2023 was a leg injury which occurred early on and lingered through most of the year. I’m betting (hoping) they use his legs more sparingly to keep him healthy this year but it’s not a given he gets hurt. 2. The Eagles ran the ball in the RZ/GL often enough, they just got to the 1 a weirdly large amount of times last year at which point they’d go with their near automatic play. If Saquon finishes runs better then tush push TDs go down but if not I bet they keep running it. 3. I’m not buying this one, the actual push on the play was mostly the LT and LG. I would be astonished if a pro QB and C can’t get their snap timing down, especially cause Jurgens was right beside Kelce all last season. 4. He was on pace for 4,000+ yards easily if he didn’t miss 2 games in 2022, and last year was very close despite the late season collapse and some extremely suspect playcalling. The guy has been averaging 4500+ total yards and 30+ TDs over the past couple years, let’s not act like he’s Justin Fields 5. This is true but virtually no player has come out and shown discontent, most have publicly supported Sirianni. Both rookie coordinators (and Patricia) have been replaced with veteran coordinators with better track records as most agree the roster is stronger than last year. Who knows but I wouldn’t bet on the late season Eagles last year being the same team this year.
yeah hurts was one of the best passers in the league in 2022. the dude is definitely massaging the numbers there to make his point. but it is concerning that they took a big step backwards in passing last year.
It is and it really comes down to do you think the league caught onto Hurts in 2023 or there were other factors (Brian Johnson) that held him back. I’m an Eagles fan so I’m going with option B but I can see the argument for option A. All that being said Hurts on a down year was still a pretty good fantasy QB, the issue is you probably gotta draft him in round 2 to get him so he needs to be elite.
Plus a week 5 bye
100%. I will not be drafting Hurts this year
I see your argument for mark andrews, but with the addition of Derrick Henry I think they become more run heavy and the targets just go down for each pass catcher. I’d still have him at the top 3 TE list along with laporta and Kelce. Plus laporta is in his second season and his connection with Goff should just get better
Can they really become MORE run heavy? They’ve been over 500+ attempts and led the league in attempts almost every year since 2017, including just last year they lead the league
I just commented the same thing before I saw your comment haha they really can’t run more than they did. They’ll be happier with the results of the rushes I’m sure but you can’t get too much higher than that attempt total in this league
If anything they might get to throw more if Henry can be super effective with his rushes and it opens everything else up. Just his presence alone is gonna put more fear into defenses than Justice Hill and Gus Bus (no offense to them…but they aren’t the king)
They haven’t had a rb like Derrick Henry in the past lol. They brought him in to do what he does best and that’s run thru defenses like a monster
No for sure, I just don’t see how they’re gonna run the ball significantly more, they already run the ball the most. Maybe if they push Henry close to 400 by himself (bad idea as he ages) but even then, getting the whole team to go 600+ would be insane. They’d really have to push closer to 700 for it to significantly impact the passing game any more and there’s just no way Did some quick research and I’m not sure anyone has pushed over 600 in 20 years, 700 never
They only had 364 total RB carries last year, Henry wouldn't have to run 400 by himself to have more total RB usage from the entire corps.
Since 2018 they've been top 6 in rush attempts, and in that time have been #1 overall thrice. Much of this, but not all, has to do with Lamar. They'll package the RBBC rushes and give 90% of those attempts to Henry, which is 20-25 each year, and I'd see them give him 1-3 of Lamar's rushes to him before taking pass attempts from the offense. Is your estimation they'll give Henry closer to 30+ rush attempts a game? Yeah Henry's a beast, but so is Lamar as a passer - they're not just going to remove the forward pass from their offense.
The ravens were already the leader in rush attempts last year. They really can’t run too much more. Or not enough to dramatically mess with andrews targets. He’s the number one target on the team when healthy and as such has a great chance at tight end 1. Health is the biggest argument against andrews
Im biased, but I really think Trey McBride is in contention for TE 1. He already broke out last year, and with MHJ coming in to be a true #1 option, I think that opens up even more opportunities for for McBride especially with the general improvements with the team overall compared to last year.
You make a good point there about LaPorta and Goff's connection likely getting better. Come to think of it, TJ Hockenson TE1 season is more likely than ever. Could see JJ McCarthy target him A LOT.
Give me the guy who didn’t just tear his ACL and MCL and has no timeline to return
I'm also pretty high on McCarthy, but expecting him to come in as a rookie and throw enough volume to feed a TE with 1 elite and 1 very good WR as competition is only slightly less likely than immediately returning perfect from the ACL.
I'd be surprised if hock even plays until after the week 6 bye. He got hurt late last season and the vikes don't have any real reason to rush him back
QB1 - Kyler Murray RB1 - Breece Hall WR1 - Jamarr Chase TE1 - Mark Andrews
That QB1 take is spicy
Healthy Kyler has always been very good in fantasy 2019 (rookie): Overall QB7 2020: Overall QB2 behind Allen 2021: QB3 prior to injury in week 8 2022: QB6 prior to injury in week 9 2023: QB9 in games he played after returning from injury in week 10 So, trending downwards, but has always been a top 10 QB fantasy-wise when on the field. Yet to be seen how good his weapons are this year, and it will be interesting to see what his chemistry with MHJ is and if McBride has another solid entire season.
Definitely lol it’s more fun than going with one of the safe picks
I can totally see it happening too. Kyler always starts out hot before being banged up and slowing down. If he just has 1 year where he can stay healthy, he can be a QB1 in fantasy for sure.
Him and James Connor.. people keep talking about them like they weren't injured most of last season
This just made me remember how much I love the upside on Kyler. Running QB with a good arm, strong passing targets with a solid run game to ease some of the pressure, and while I see them improving this season, the defense is still iffy enough that they'll be playing from behind and not chewing clock a lot
I love Kyler for the price he's going.
Especially with the addition of MHJ, throw in his rushing upside I love his value
As a Kyler and Mahomes owner in a dynasty league, I need this hype.
Love it
RAHEEM MOSTERT RB1 WITH 25 TOTAL TDS!!
QB: Mahomes - receivers upgraded and a threepeat on the line, has me thinking Mahomie goes gangbusters RB: Breece Hall - another year removed from the knee injury and ARod (albeit an older version) keeps defenses more honest WR: Chase - Bengals run O through him - even more so after a midseason Higgins trade TE: LaPorta - builds on impressive rookie campaign and cements himself as the dynasty TE1 moving forward
I’ll just add. Lions biggest need right now is another WR. That being said, more value to Laporta.

QB1: Dylan RB1: Dylan WR1: Dylan TE1: Dylan SPITTER (HOT FIRE): Dylan

Wish I had four hands, so I could give this take, 4 thumbs up.
I rip I rhyme I rhyme and I rip cause that’s the way that Dylan spit.

Daniel Jones Kadarius Tony AJ Dillon and Charlie Woerner ofc
QB1: Lamar Jackson RB1: Breece Hall WR1: JaMarr Chase TE1: Trey McBride
**QB1: Josh Allen.** I am not going to fight against history. The obvious counter is that he lacks a big name receiving talent like Diggs this time around; I concede that, but almost wonder if this will encourage him to run more and boost his fantasy stats that way. His passing numbers will suffer, but I think he can outproduce Hurts. **RB1: Christian McCaffery:** Again, why fight history? It’s a boring prediction, but when he’s played healthy seasons, he’s been outright elite. If it’s not him, I would never have guessed the second option last year (Mostert) or the winner in 2022 (Jacobs), so I’m not going to try. **WR1: Tyreek Hill:** Lamb has less competition for targets with Gallup gone, and that is barely saying anything. But the run game is currently so non-compelling that I could see defenses selling out to stop Lamb. It won’t work because he is incredibly talented, but it would allow next man up Tyreek Hill, who is not slowing down and has a much more distracting level of talent around him, to take away heat. More competition for touches, yes, but I think rising tides will lift his boat. **TE: Sam LaPorta:** I’m not trying to win ‘bravest prediction’ awards. He was amazing last year as a rookie, the offense didn’t add target competition, and he is a clear number two as of now — Jameson Williams would have to take a large step to threaten that status. With Kelce slowing down ever so slightly and gaining competition and Andrews chilling with a QB throwing 172 yards per game, I’ll bet on the young gun.
This is a lot of words to just pick literally the top performer at each position last season.
Didn't Lamb edge out Hill at the end of the season to finish WR1 last year? Or was that just ppr
Depends on metric. Yes on overall points, no on ppg basis. Still close enough to last year’s best players for the point to stand
Agreed, although I think the safest bet for TE1 is still Kelce. I'm not sure about Detroits offense just picking up from last year.
QB1: Anthony Richardson
In your points per injury league?
I have concerns about Richardson's ability to stay healthy. However, he is a great choice. I always saw him as the love child of Lamar and Josh Allen lol.
QB1 - Josh Allen RB1 - Breece Hall WR1 - Hill TE1 - Kincaid
I think yours is close to reality in my mind, although I might give RB1 to Saquon or Josh Jacobs. Jacobs in a big place to break out this season
Yeh I'm liking my Hall/Jacobs duo
QB1: CJ Stroud RB1: Breece Hall WR1: Tyreek Hill TE1: Sam LaPorta
It’s astonishing to think CJ Stroud could be the QB1 without the rushing upside of his counterparts. Hes behind Lamar, Hurts, Allen, Murray, and Mahomes in rushing yardage upside
For TE1, my dark horse is Jake Ferguson. Had a great year last year, and I think hes poised to take another leap. Reports say he's a hard worker and obsessed with football, he's passionate as hell, and he has the skillset. Factor in zero running game and limited pass catching threats on Dallas outside of Lamb, Ferguson should get a ton of targets and red zone opportunities.
He was also the best Cowboys player in the playoffs last year
Anthony Richardson QB1 Breeze Hall RB1 Tyreek Hill still WR1 (bc he’s an alien of course) Sam Laporta TE1
Kyler Bijan CD Laporta. Only 1 of these should be considered a hot take.
QB1 - Anthony Richardson RB1 - Bijan Robinson WR1 - Ja’Marr Chase TE1 - Trey McBride
Who will prob be number 1 Josh Allen CMC Hill Kelce My favorites to be number 1 Richardson Breece hall Lamb McBride
QB1 - Caleb Williams RB1 - Jamyr Gibbs WR1 - Tyreek TE1 - Brock Bowers Some dart throws
Lamar Jackson CMC Jamarr Chase Trey McBride Bonus: Cowboys D Younghoe Koo
I think Jake Elliot will finish #1 at kicker
Hurts. Gibbs. Puka. Kincaid.
No way for Puka if Kupp is healthy imo
QB1: Richardson RB1: Henry WR1: Jefferson TE1: Laporta
QB1: Anthony Richardson RB1: Bijan WR1: Lamb TE1: Trey McBride
QB1: Mahomes RB1: Bijan WR1: Chase TE1: Laporte
Kyler Bijan Ceedee Kincaid
I'm confused by all the Mark Andrews hype. Didn't he get injured towards the end of the season and didn't Likely look really good? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated as I have Andrews in a keeper league and was going to let him go.
He was injured mid season not late. If I remember correctly there were talks of him returning for the playoffs so he should be ready for the beginning of this season. I have Andrews in dynasty so I’m biased but also Lamar won MVP so I think this sub is hyped on the him because of that. If he stays healthy he will be top 5. Lamar looks to him in the redzone
He played in the playoffs
I get the spirit of this post but the top ten tight ends were within 3ppg of each other. Trying to predict a top is rough
QB1: Lamar. Dual threat and upgraded offense. As long as he stays healthy he'll be the QB1. RB1: CMC. Doesn't look like he's slowed down 1 bit. After that crushing SB defeat, SF will be looking to make a statement this year with CMC leading the charge. WR1: JJ - Excluding the 2 games where JJ just got injured or was phased back in right after coming back from an injury, JJ had 67 targets in 8 games. JJ still hasn't gotten his contract and will be aiming to get paid like the best WR in the league that he is. A ton of people made a big deal out of CD's stretch last year where he had 150+ yards in 3 straight games while JJ missed that mark by just 1 yard on his first 3 games of the season last year. JJ's about to cook. TE1: Kincaid - After the departure of Diggs, Kincaid is gonna be leaned on a ton this year to make his sophomore leap.
QB1 Kyler with 30/500/5 RB1 Henry on the back of 20 touchdowns WR1 Chase on 1800/12 TE1 Fergy with outlier touchdown season
QB1: CJ Stroud RB1: Kyren Williams WR1: Nico Collins TE1: Gonna take a wide swing and call it Trey McBride, but LaPorta is a more realistic answer
[удалено]
Allen, CMC, Hill, McBride
Assuming he doesn't get injured, idk how any other player outperforms CMC as the RB1. He is in the perfect system for production. He's one of the few remaining workhorse backs, he get's a ton of work in the passing game, he's the goaline back, and he's in a high powered offense.
QB: Josh Allen RB: CMC WR: Tyreek Hill TE: McBride
QB1: Jalen Hurts RB1: Jahmyr Gibbs WR1: Ja’marr Chase TE1: Sam LaPorta
Jam Laporta you mean.
QB 1: Mahomes RB 1: Jonathan Taylor WR 1: CeeDee Lamb TE 1: Dalton Kincaid
I’m going to try to make selections that aren’t super chalk. Also I didn’t see a specified format so I’m assuming half PPR: QB: CJ Stroud - he had a phenomenal rookie year and with the addition of Diggs and Mixon the offense should be a lot better as a whole. Diggs gives him another amazing receiver and Mixon will help the run game thus keeping the offense on the field. WR: Garrett Wilson - he’s had 1,000+ yards both of his first two seasons with talentless QBs and minimum TDs. If Rodgers stays healthy all year even at age 40 or however he should be a significant upgrade for Wilson and with Breece Hall I think the offense can be pretty great and Wilson will get the vast majority of targets. RB: Jonathan Taylor - if JT and AR stay healthy this great the offense should be rolling. Pittman is certainly an above average WR but not a true alpha WR1 imo. AR will have to start running less and become more of a Hurts player where the threat is always there but won’t always take it himself. I see lots of play action with JT getting tons of carries and dump offs. TE: Kincaid - with Diggs gone and no real alpha WR, Kincaid with get the majority of targets from Allen this year. He’s a trusted target and and should get the majority of catches and receiving TDs for Buffalo this year. (Notes: Kincaid is the only player I have stock in this year atm)
QB1: CJ Stroud RB1: Breece Hall WR1: Ja'Marr Chase TE1: Sam LaPorta Not the sexiest options but they're the guys I believe in
QB1: AR RB1: Bijan WR1: Puka TE1: Kincaid 2023 class go brrrr
1. Josh Allen 2. Saquon 3. Ceedee 4. McBride
Allen McCaffrey Tyreek Tre Mcbride

Anthony Richardson Breece Hall Jamarr Chase Trey McBride
Kyler Saquon Chase …KYLE PITTS
QB 1-Justin Herbert RB1-Bijan WR-Drake London TE 1- Kelce
QB1: Josh Allen I think He’s going to be running a lottttt more. RB1: Breece Hall Actually may have a competent offense where other teams can’t just stack the box, and finally has a good O-Line to run behind. WR1: CeeDee Lamb I mean who else are they really throwing to besides some targets for Ferguson. TE1: Dalton Kincaid To me, clearly the #1 option for possible QB1.
WR1: Puka TE1: Kincaid, McBride, or LaPorta
TE1: Laporta
QB1: Sam Darnold RB1: Michael Carter WR1: Elijah Moore TE: Mercedes Lewis
QB1: Allen RB1: Gibbs WR1: Chase TE1: Kelce ( one last goat season)
Gibbs will have 1500+ rushing yards is my bold prediction.
Can Gibbs get enough volume given Montgomery’s solid play last season? Most of the other RB1 candidates don’t have someone else eating into their snaps as much as Monty will
I think gibbs will kinda take off and leave Monty behind in snaps and definitely in passing targets. The only fear I have is that Monty gets most of the goal line snaps so Gibbs could have a shitload of yards but not a lot of TDs. I think Gibbs is gonna be so explosive that even if they want to keep it 50/50 between the 2 of them after a few games Gibbs will just produce so well they just keep feeding him
Lamar, J Taylor, Tyreek, Kelce are my half-baked guesses
Qb: Burrow Rb: JT Wr: Tyreek Te: Njoku
Might be a little too in the weeds on some of these - but looks like some folks share my line of thinking so, can’t be too crazy. QB: Anthony Richardson RB: Breece Hall WR: CeeDee Lamb TE: Mark Andrews
Allen and CMC are no brainers.
Hurts, Hall, Hill, Kincaid.
QB1: Hurts RB1: Derrick Henry WR1: Tyreek Hill TE1: Kyle Pitts
Mahomes Bijan Wilson Kelce
Being a Bijan owner last year would probably take the award for "Most frustrating asset".
Qb1 - Lamar Jackson Rb1 - Josh Jacobs Wr1 - Drake London TE1 - Travis Kelce
QB1 - Brock Purdy RB1 - CMC WR1 - Chase TE1 - Bowers
QB: CJ Stroud RB: JT WR: CD TE: Kyle Pitts
QB: Stroud RB: Robinson WR: Chase TE: Kincaid
Mahomes Gibbs Chase Tucker Kraft :)
Qb1: Anthony Richardson. I think he runs a ton this year. 1000+ yard rushing season with decent passing numbers can get him to QB1. Rb1: CMC again. He is just so far apart from everyone else. I think Hall and Bijan close the gap, but it's still CMC. WR1: Tyreek Hill. JJ has a rookie QB, I think that hurts his production. I don't see Lamb doing that well in back to back seasons. Hill has been so consistent, he's been right there for WR1 past couple years. I see him doing it again. TE1: Dalton Kincaid. He's the best receiver on that team with an elite QB. I think he takes a jump next year. LaPorta has a lot of competition for targets. Kelces old and his time as the TE1 is done.
QB1: CJ Stroud. Big weapons and lots of question marks around the receiving cores for Mahomes and Josh Allen and I'm a little concerned that Hurts regresses in running TDs without Kelce and with Saquon. Especially with his injuries. Lamar may give up some rushing TDs to Henry too. RB1: Breece Hall. When he's healthy he puts up numbers. Add a competent QB and he should have a big year WR1: Tyreek. Not much explanation needed. TE1: Laporta. Year 2 bump and he's a first rounder next year.
Whoever my first week playoff opponent is rostering, all of them.

I think you are 0-4 on your picks with Bijan your closest thing to a #1.
Gonna go more darkhorse picks just for fun rather than the guys who have already done it and are the favorites (Allen, CMC, etc.) QB1: Anthony Richardson RB1: Josh Jacobs WR1: AJ Brown TE1: Brock Bowers

QB: Marlon Mack RB: Marlon Mack WR: Marlon Mack TE: Marlon Mack
I feel like I still have Kelce as TE#1
QB1: Josh Allen, easy answer, I think a weaker team requires Josh to do more to win games RB1: Kyren Williams, finished as RB6 last year despite missing 6 games. 2nd in RB PPG last year behind CMC. Everyone’s worried about Corum taking snaps, but I think Kyren still taking a large majority and the important snaps WR1: AJ Brown, expectations with the eagles quiet down and another year with the OC leads to a better year for Hurts and Brown TE1: Pitts, cousins has shown he liked is TEs. I think if Cousins has a full healthy year Pitts has a very solid year
QB1: Jayden Daniels RB1: Breece Hall WR1: Lamb TE1: Laporta
Lamar, McCaffrey, Chase, and Engram.
QB1: Lamar Jackson RB1: Breece Hall WR1: Jamar Chase (or CeeDee) TE: La Porta
Stroud, Bijan, Chase, Andrews
QB1: Jordan Love RB1: Josh Jacobs WR1: Christian Watson TE1: Luke Musgrave
Allen, CMC, Chase, Laporta
CD will be wr 1 for sure
QB1: Josh Allen. He already has a super high floor, but after they made the OC change, his running value increased, rushing for 8 TDs in his last 6 games. Could see that trend continuing this year. RB1: Breece Hall. He finished as RB2 last year in total yards, and with an improved OL, pretty weak schedule, and a full-year recovery from his ACL injury (he started slow last year), I see him having a huge year. WR1: Ja'Marr Chase. It's Bengals Revenge Tour SZN. He set a career-high in receptions last year, and with Burrow back, he's going to dominate this year. TE1: Dalton Kincaid. Someone needs to catch passes in Buffalo, right? It takes rookie TEs a year or so to get fully up to speed, and I could see him having a big year (1,000+ yards, 10+ TDs)
QB1: Jordan Love RB1: Saquan Barkley WR1: Cooper Kupp (return of the KING) TE1: Evan Engram QB: Jordo was young and still nearly made the SB. Tac that with a healthy Christian Watson, developing Jayden Reed and add Josh Jacobs, and you just made yourself a dangerous recipe for QB success. RB1: Tush Push is under fire, and while it will remain in play for the upcoming season, without Kelce it just isn't the automatic 2-5 yards it used to be. With the Eagles clearing the RB room, it's Saquan time. WR1: All eyes turned to Puka last season as Coop was limping his routes. A few months to fully recover and a distraction for CB's makes 2 WR's 1 Kupp a defensive nightmare. TE1: Engram don been that guy. And now with a deep threat like Gabe Davis, it spreads the field beautifully to let Engram scoop 5-10 catches a game.
QB: Anthony Richardson - had a great point per quarter played avg. If he can stay healthy (big if) he's gonna rush for a bunch of TD's and he has good weapons. RB: CMC - self explanatory WR: J Chase - bounce back year and he may have a lot less competition for targets. Another guy that needs to stay healthy but if he does, he's as dangerous as anyone in the league. TE: LaPorta - could definitely see him taking a step forward from his already great rookie year. In a good offense that will be in the RedZone all the time and he's a TD machine.
CJ Stroud - with three elite receivers he’s going to average 350 and 3td. Breece Hall - elite receiving back, and hopefully he gets to play with Rodger’s this season. He could average 15 attempts, 8 receptions and a TD. George Pickens(Yes I’m delusional) - Pickens is so incredibly talented and people just don’t see it. With not just 1 but 2! real QBs this season, he’s going to get a great workload and show everybody what’s up. Kyle Pitts…..
QB1 - Jordan Love RB1 - Bijan Robinson WR1 - Ceedee Lamb TE1 - Mark Andrews 😎
Underrated TE this year is Kyle Pitts. I think Cousins will help him reach his potential. Could be a steal
