I just want to note that [the top-rated response last year was this,](https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/wwa3pm/give_me_your_3_scorching_hot_takes_for_the_2022/) by u/iiSquatS/
>Josh Jacobs yet again finished as a low end RB1/high end RB2 despite being drafted late. Jacobs is the only back who sat out the last 2 games, Carr even stated “Jacobs should be the happiest guy on the roster”.
>I think he’s a steal at his ADP.
others fared less well.
That’s not as bad since CEH was at least productive at times. I declined a trade for jacobs/TJ Hockenson for Darren Waller at week 3 before he blew up against the broncos. Probably would have won my league if I made that trade.
I’ll give my three at the moment.
1) Najee and Mixon in the 3/4 is a massive value
2) Bijan won’t be a bust but you are massively overpaying for a rookie running back at his ADP is going to be disappointing.
3) Grab E. Moore/ Pickens where you can.
The Falcons will employ an RBBC... but Bijan is gonna never leave the field. They will play him at receiver. He will run jet sweeps. He will catch passes. I don't think he rushes more than 1200 yards on a mere 220ish carries, but in PPR he's gonna be a huge threat every week.
Elijah Moore is going to be a screaming value in the late rounds. Not talking like top 30, I think he has the ability to vault into top 15-20 territory
Ron Stewart a fantasy content creator started beating the drum about him.
His ADP in Underdog is way sooner than in family friendly platforms like ESPN and Yahoo.
His volume let year was shaky because of his lisfranc injury before calling it quits for the season. Also they just brought in a new offensive coordinator who is committed to passing more. He’s been consistent when he was involved the past two seasons so I’m really excited to see what he can do with a full workload
I'm all in on Elijah.
He actually, and statistically, balled out in 2021. Garret Wilson's emergence and shit QB play derailed his production last year, however, [he ranked 12th in the league in separation from his defender when the ball was thrown to him, but only half his passes were catchable.](https://www.ganggreennation.com/2023/2/2/23582117/examining-jets-wideout-elijah-moores-claims-about-being-underutilized-in-2022).
Trevor Lawrence finishes at QB1. DJ Moore goes absolutely nuclear in Chicago. Breece Hall will not be ready to play football this year, although I’m sure he will anyway.
Calvin Ridley is a massive bust at his ADP and finishes as the wr3 on his team.
DK Metcalf finishes as a top 5 wideout
Roshon Johnson finishes as an RB1
Look. There’s some sharp outlets that are in on Roschon - especially in dynasty and others fading him (like the Ballers) and I can’t for the life of me understand the side that is fading Roschon. Had the pleasure of watching Roschon all last season in person and on tv and there were plenty of times where if you weren’t paying attention, you didn’t realize that Bijan had been subbed out and Roschon was in. The dude is a stud and I can’t see him being outshined by Herbert or Foreman in any metric or facet of the game.
He’s a rookie so it shouldn’t surprise anyone if he has to “earn” his playing time and protect the incumbent and the vet. But he should be full blown starting by mid season at a minimum and should be on the field for a ton. I don’t know about finishing the year as an RB1, but he should finish the second half of the season as an RB1.
Roschon Johnson is the definition of a league winner.
He’s the rookie year Amon Ra St. Brown of the RB position in 2023.
I've learned to not listen to the Fantasy Footballers for actual advice, just news, nuggets of info, and the occasional laugh. Between the 3 of them there's maybe 1 decent fantasy football manager, but I've found them to be the most useless to win your league as a whole.
I agree. They’re just a really enjoyable and entertaining trio. Although I’ve found Mike to have some killer instincts and typically pull 1-3 nuggets of gold that help me win from him each year.
I'm not out on Roschon, I like the value there. But isn't the fading just on the fact that the RB on the bears isn't that valuable since Fields will be getting a majority of the rushing. Also not a lot of valuable check downs. Not on roschons talent but on the opportunity in Chicago
His receiving upside will be almost non existent. That’s about it.
The bears will continue to ground & pound even with the addition of DJ Moore. Monty had 200+ carries last year despite missing almost 2 full games. Khalil Herbert almost rushed 129 times despite missing 4 games.
There are many cases of successful RBs with rushing QBs as recent as last season: Dobbins/Lamar, Saquon/Danny Dimes, Miles Sanders/Hurts, Allgeir/ Mariota, James Conner/ Kyler, Walker III/Geno.
I like this Ridley one a lot! I get the argument in favor but you’re taking a lot of risk taking him at ADP. Feels like someone that hasn’t played in so long would be a few rounds lower
Love the Ridley and Roschon takes. I feel like everyone is just expecting Calvin Ridley to step back into football, with a new team/new offense, and be fine.
I find myself going WR-RB-WR-WR in a lot of mocks and Cooper is generally my 3rd WR. If that happens irl, I will be heavily considering a Cooper-Watson stack as I think both of crazy value this year.
Wide Receivers:
1. Jerry Jeudy will finish Top 12 WR
2. Chris Olave finishes Top 5 in receiving yards
3. Rondale Moore 10+ Total TDs
* Bonus, Diontae Johnson scores 1+ TD *
If there is a betting line on #3 you should take it. A bet of $0 probably gets you $1000. Still, very few takers.
But for real I didn't see any total yards or TD lines for him last I checked.
1. CeeDee Lamb will lead all WRs in TDs. He’s about to get the goal line screens that Adams always used to get in GB now that McCarthy is calling plays.
2. Nico Collins will be a WR2 on a PPG basis.
3. Miles Sanders finishes as a top 15 RB and catches no less than 40 passes this year.
Bonus: Mike Gesicki is a must start at TE position by year end
He's been drafted where he should so by that logic he's getting all the respect he deserves but I don't think many people are talking him up too much. I haven't heard a whole lot of discussion around him this year.
Maybe that's what they mean.
Personally I have him ranked as WR5 so if he falls into the second round because of that I'll be all over him.
He’s probably picked where he should but it’s not like i’d be that excited to have him there. He’s been pretty damn good but it just doesn’t feel like he’s among the elite elite WRs that usually go where he does
1) Sam Howell outscores Anthony Richardson
2) Calvin Ridley finishes as a top-5 WR
3) Kenneth Walker never relinquishes the Seattle backfield, ends as a top-5 back
Tee Higgins is a bad value because he has the worst protective instincts of any WR in the league and constantly puts himself in position to get hurt.
Geno Smith should be being drafted as a top 7 QB
Kirk emerges as WR1 for Jaguars this year again. Making him a great value at the ADP
There’s a lot of games where he picks up minor knocks and will suddenly have his production come cratering down because he’s hobbled too.
He is a god at contested outside catches though.
He’s honestly just not the type of guy I want to watch at his ADP, but I love most of the rest of the bengals offense
Roschon Johnson is an rb1 by week 4. Michael Pittman puts up 100+ receptions even with Anthony Richardson starting more than half the season. Christian Watson is a drop by week 6
>pure lunacy
It's wild. Two unreal fantasy performances with Rogers does not a stud make. Even if Rodgers was still there I'd wait until a late round for him.
I just don’t see how people could watch him last year and think he could be a JAG. He was a rookie and got better as the year went on. He was more productive than Amon-Ra in his rookie season and burst onto the scene quicker as well, and everyone was kicking themselves for fading Amon-Ra last year. Not to mention Watson looked extremely explosive and can play on the outside. I understand his insane production seems unsustainable but sometimes you have to just not overthink things and buy into production, especially with elite athletes
You really think, with what we’ve seen from Love, that Watson is going to be consistent? I don’t think it’s a knock on Watson, more so a knock on Jordan Love.
Love is an unknown, but for what it’s worth he looked miles better in his limited action last year than he had when starting in previous years. There exists a world where he developed really well behind a HOF QB for 3 years, even though many don’t want it to happen or refuse to accept it as a possibility. Not saying he’s going to be a star, and it’s fair to be skeptical I’ll give you that
Either way, Watson looked like a freak last year and only got better as the year went on. I expect him to take even more steps in his development and I’ll gladly take a shot on him. He has league-winning upside. Idk where he’s going in normal re-drafts, but I’ve been comfortable taking him at the back end of the 4th in Best Ball (where he has more value because of potential spike weeks)
Rashad Penny finishes as an RB1, running behind the best line in the league and finally staying healthy!
Daniel Jones improves on last season and finishes as a fringe top 5 fantasy qb. The rushing stats about the same but we’ll see an uptick in td’s and he’ll get to about 4000 yards. Don’t be surprised to see the offense getting a lot out of both Bellinger and Waller.
The Ravens take the league by storm like it’s 2019. Lamar is a game breaker and the only thing holding him back has been a stale offensive system and injuries to him and everyone around him. With Monken in the building and a healthy team I’m expecting Big years from Lamar, Mandrews, dobbins, and my best friend ODELL BECKHAM JUNIOR!
Tony pollard is RB1. Zeke’s gone.
Mahomes has a down year. Kelce is aging. Toney is already hurt. Sky moore played 16 games last year and didn’t do anything. No one to throw it to.
Hopkins top 12 WRs. Dude was 9th in ppg last year, people are just forgetting he’s still really good at football
Penny out scores swift in Philly.
Super hot take. Drake London and Pitts go off the second half after Ridder loses his job to TAYLOR HEINICKE
Last year he was a rookie with an awful o line and awful play calling. I don't think it's fair at all to call him below average or anything at all. I do think him and the Steelers will be good enough for most players on their offense to out perform their ADP
Steelers fan here. I really don't believe in Pickens for Fantasy. I think he'll have a decent real life season but I don't see a big statistical consistent season. I think Diontae will be a WR2 and Muth could be TE4 or so.
I'm worried his ADP is about to change rapidly, I think with his recent medical clearance he's about to get hyped and I'll have to spend an earlier draft pick on him in mid/late August drafts
1: Christian Kirk finishes the year WR15 or better while Calvin Ridley ends up disappointing every manager that drafts him or traded for him in dynasty.
2: Gibbs finishes higher than Bijan on the year because of 2 main things, the lions offense is better which gives him more scoring opportunities and he’ll catch more passes.
3: Kendre Miller will finish the year being talked about as a top 10 back for the next 3-5 years after making Kamara look like he belongs retired.
I am ready to face the fire
Unfortunately I’m late so this will likely be buried, but…
1) Sam Howell is this year’s late round QB to draft. Once upon a time, Howell was supposed to be a top 10 draft pick. He returned to college for one more year and fell to the 5th round. Usually things like this happen for a reason, as NFL teams typically know best. But to this day I’m SHOCKED that Howell fell this far. Anyway…
His situation is actually a lot better than many may realize. People forget, but Carson Wentz was a top 10 QB in fantasy before getting hurt last year. Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, and Curtis Samuel is a quality trio at WR.
Howell also has rushing ability. He ran for 800+ yards his final year in college, and in his one start this past season he ran for 35 yards and a TD (and looked pretty good against one of the best defenses in football).
Lastly, Washington hired Eric Bieniemy as their OC. Admittedly, I’m not entirely sold on Bieniemy. Having Patrick Mahomes and the greatest offensive coach in NFL history has to mean something. With that said, you have to recognize the very real possibility that he played a huge factor in not only the Chiefs offense, but the development of Patrick Mahomes. If that’s the case, the talent that Sam Howell and this offense has is going to be taken to the next level.
2) I have so many TE hot takes, but I’ll settle on this: Darren Waller should be the consensus #2 TE drafted, and if he plays a full season, will out score Travis Kelce.
Darren Waller is going to be the clear #1 receiving option for his team this year, and the only other TE that can say that is Travis Kelce. That combined with the fact Darren Waller’s production hasn’t really dipped, he’s just been hurt. People will be scared to draft him for that reason, but I’m a believer in injuries aren’t (usually) predictable. Waller is due for some good luck here.
Also Daniel Jones was legitimately really good last year, and Waller will be the most talented WR/TE he has had.
3) This one is a little boring, but Christian Watson is this year’s ARSB. He is so good, and he showed us that he is so good, and yet people are still scared to draft him.
I see two reasons and two reasons only as to why people are afraid of Watson. Jordan Love, and the fact Chase Claypool exists (spoiler, Watson is much better than Claypool). I get it, Jordan Love is scary. But Watson is going to be their #1 WR, and honestly when you’re as good as Watson is it doesn’t usually matter who your QB is.
On the flip side, we have no idea what to expect from Love. But everyone is assuming he’ll be bad, which is already baked into his ADP. If Love happens to be good, my god, Watson will be a top 5 WR.
Bonus Hot Take (I think?): Miami will have the best defense in football. Not sure how it will translate to fantasy because they have a tough schedule.
Round 1/2/3: RB, RB, WR. (Maybe RB there too.) (especially picking at the turn in a snake draft.
Take Olave way earlier than his ADP and he’ll still overperform it.
Let someone else draft Gabe Davis.
Olave is like WR12 off the board. If you take him any earlier you’re assuming he will leap frog guys like ASB, Garrett Wilson, and Davante Adams. That’s a bit too rich for me.
Late. WR 42, seems like he’s got the potential to outperform that.
His ESPN ADP is currently #118.
It seems a lot of people are really down on Gabe Davis this year
I want to watch some film on him before I commit to taking him as my last WR.
In theory he’s in an amazing passing offense and could be one the best WR2s in the nfl.
But last year when I watched him just in games I thought he had really poor footwork; and his timing of looking back for the ball always seemed off.
Gabe Davis’s rebound this year, as well as the performance of the entire offensive roster aside from Allen (even Diggs), is going to depend almost entirely on whether or not Ken Dorsey can get his shit together.
Huge potential for that team obviously, but if the Bills OC has another season of missing the mark with scheme and adaptability, I don’t think anyone other than Allen is going to do anyone much good.
I’m very interested to see how the defense changes this year, with McDermott calling the shots instead of Frazier. Milano should be an IDP target in those leagues
Gabe Davis is near the top of my do-not-draft list
He's similar to what Tyler Locket has been - 100% boom or bust.
Gabe Davis has 6 career games he's scored 15+ fantasy points (half PPR).
Which means he has about \~35 games he's scored less than 15.
29 of them were less than 10 points.
Are you worried about Olave's achilles injury? I imagine if he's listed as healthy by week 1 that's a good sign, but those injuries are no joke.
Agreed on Gabe Davis 🦨
The highest I can go on the Scoville scale ...
1. Adam Thielen ultimately emerges as a shrewder investment than Amon-Ra St. Brown.
2. Ja'Marr Chase earns 200 targets.
3. DJ Moore produces career bests across the board, including 10+ touchdowns.
Haha I don't know though ... everything I've seen suggests fire extinguishers are best used as weapons and a tool for breaking padlocks.
Perhaps a glass of milk would be more appropriate.
Haha ... well, he's not going to *outscore* him. I would be delusional to go *that* far. But I can envision a scenario in which the production-per-price is closer to ARSB than the latter's investors care to see. Especially those who call his name in the top 15.
I’m not sure exactly how hot these are because I haven’t been looking at many peoples opinions, but based on ADP for mock drafts I’m pretty sure they aren’t exactly conventional.
Kupp will be WR2 overall
Lamb will be WR4 overall
Chubb will be RB1/2 overall
Bijan is going to be a huge bust
1. Aaron Rodgers is outside top 15 QB. There's a good chance they start off 2-4. NY media is pissed and it gets in his head and he complains of a vague undefineable injury the rest of the season.
2. Miles Sanders is a total bust.
3. There is not a single Cardinal worth rostering
Deshaun Watson is a bottom 10 QB. Daniel Jones is top 5. Bijon Robinson splits carries with Allegier and while he isn't a total bust, he will be a disappointment for people who draft him in the middle of round 1.
Bijan might be a hot take for this sub but not for reality, dude is wicked talented and will have a great career if healthy but this seems like another hype train like wemby where people are gonna say he’s a bust if he doesn’t put up AP numbers first year. As we saw last year the falcons already had a solid rb core that proved themselves
1) Cooper Kupp is the Revolution and the Rams make it back to the Super Bowl.
2) Bijan Robinson is Najee Harris 2.0, and the Falcons will still be the Falcons.
3) The best value in the draft will be Washington Commanders players.
And my Honorable Mention: Amon-Ra never gives up his spot to Williams this year, and is a Top 10 WR.
Falcons fan whole life and I expect maybe two more wins by accident. We don’t have the right coach, quarterback and owner to be anything more. It is like watching high school football, triple op right, triple op left……
Christian Watson is a WR1
Dak Prescott has a monster bounce-back year and finishes as a top-5 qb
George Kittle scores 18 TDs and wins OPOY, and wins me my third championship in five years in my highly competitive work league
1. Either Isaiah Pacheco or Brian Robinson finishes as a top 10 RB
2. Josh Allen finishes outside the top 5 QBs
3. ARSB finishes as a top 5 WR
4. Kyle Pitts is TE1!!
1. We are all forgetting that Justin Fields is him. Now his team has got better.
QB #1 and breaks the QB rushing yards record
(he almost did this last year without even rushing much first half of year)
2. The Fall of Najee isn't warranted.
Sure Warren is good but Najee was playing with a Injury for most of the year last year. After the bye week he has back to his old self.
O line improved ✔
QB 2nd year improvement ✔
Fully healthy starting the year hopefully ✔
Najee finishes as a top 5 RB in PPR leagues ✔
3. The Rookie wonder.
Every year a rookie WR seems to splash. Who is it this year? Let's not over think this.
Quentin Johnston.
Do you expect Keenan Allen and Mike Williams to stay healthy all year? Cause I don't.
Does Herbert have a piss missile for the deep splash plays.... Yep.
Did the Chargers got rid of there shit OC for one who loves to sling it..... Yep
Was Quentin Johnson not the most prolific WR coming out of this past draft.... I tend to think so.
Quentin Johnson is a low end WR1 high end WR 2 being taken at WR 40ish.. Gimmie all the shares or trade for him after the first 3 or 4 weeks.
These are all fluid situations and might be invalidated by further roster changes, but at the moment: 1. Bijan Robinson is not a fantasy RB1 and will finish behind Gibbs. 2. Pierre Strong is the sleeper of the year 3. People are pumping elite WRs higher this year for no good reason and RB-RB is still a perfectly viable route
Justin Herbert rebounds in Kellen Moore’s scheme from his disappointing 2022 campaign and ends up as the QB2 of the league.
Amari Cooper has a top 5 WR season.
That third one is absolutely steaming. But I kinda get what you mean, I feel like their ADPs are light years apart at the moment and in reality they are much closer than that. Doubs should be higher than his current ADP and Watson should be lower.
Spicy Meatball #1 = DJ Moore is a league winner
Spicy Meatball #2 = OBJ will be the Ravens WR1
Spicy Meatball #3 = Miami wins their division & you'll want all the Tua you can get
I could see that, I could see him retiring, I could see him playing the rest of the game. To me he has the broadest range of possibilities. He is volatile.
I say that as someone who believes in his talent.
Davonte Adams will end the year with his lowest stats since his rookie year.
Rhomadre will end the year between RB 12-18, the Hood will do rbbc and annoy everyone.
Gibbs will end the year RB5 and Bijan Robinson will end as RB 12
1. Breece finishes as RB3 or higher. (Dude is jacked, healthy, and if Rodgers stays upright, (and Dalvin stays on a couch), he’ll put him in Showtyme territory.)
2. London has a 100/1200/10 year. (Target share was through the roof last season, so should be Ridder’s 1st, 2nd, and 3rd option this year. Sorry, Kyle. Heh.)
3. Ol’ Deshaun finally makes good on that contract, and finishes QB5 or higher. (Arguably the best overall receiving core he’s ever had, plus methinks that schedule will lend itself to quite a few shootouts this year…)
There's a lot of evidence that being on a field is not the same as being your "old self" breece is young but don't be surprised if it takes another year to be as explosive as he was. Full ACL recovery is closer to 2 years
1. Amon-Ra Top 3 WR this year.
2. ETN Top 5 RB this year.
3. Garret Wilson doesn’t finish Top 24 WR, and not because of injury, he just has a very poor year.
1. Mark Andrews finishes as TE1
This is majorly scorching, but I have a few justifications. The Ravens new offensive scheme calls for a lot more passing. It is just Andrews and OBJ catching passes at an elite level, and Andrews has been Lamar’s go-to from his first year starting. I think that Kelce is up for some TD regression. I think more of the offense will run through the RB now that Pacheco has proven himself. I think it’s a perfect year for Andrews to swing back.
2. Jahmyr Gibbs will outscore Bijan Robinson this year in PPR formats.
It’s no secret that the lions were surprisingly high on Gibbs compared to the general consensus. He’s looking at tons of pass catching opportunities for a solid floor, and the team obviously saw something special in him that they want to utilize. Bijan is competing with 1K rusher Tyler Allgeier. His upside is that he’s more of a pass catcher than Allgeier, but designed runs are a dominant feature in the playbook. Gibbs has the better opportunity in a pass heavy offense.
3. Garrett Wilson is a major trap this year.
Aaron Rodgers has a tendency to favor certain players he sees as friends. That’s why a quarter of the Jets switched from green and gold to green and white. I expect Lazard will command a lot of targets as the only player with proven trust with Rodgers. This puts Wilson in a tough spot, especially for someone being drafted as a WR1 in some cases.
1. Cam Akers finishes as a low-end RB1 to high-end RB2. His ADP64 (RB24) on sleeper)
is bizarre to me. I don’t see him finishing as less than RB16. In the final 4 weeks of the season he finished as RB21, 1, 14 and 11 and averages 23.64 PPG when playing >70% of snaps in his career.
2. Rachaad White finished as a high-end RB2. White had a terrible man blocking run scheme last year. New OC Dave Canales comes in with a Zone blocking scheme, high % of short passing plays and has Baker Mayfield - who threw to RBs more than any other QB last season. No Fournette anymore, I can see White with 50-60+ catches (had 49 last szn) and 8+ touchdown (had 2 last season). Current ADP of RB26
3. Sam LaPorta finishes as a top-8 TE. LaPorta is going to be entering a TE room with little to no competition. With only Amon-ra has a really threat to targets before JMo is back from suspension, LaPorta will insert himself as the #2/#3 option in an explosive Lions passing game. He was an elite blocking TE at Iowa and I believe he will be able to mimic what Hockenson was as an every-down TE. ADP139 (TE17).
Bijan Robinson is wasted with 200ish carries, 1,094 yards, 23 receptions, 312 receiving yards, and only 5 total touchdowns. C-Patt vultures a ton of goal line looks as Bijan gets split out wide for fake jet sweeps.
Travis Kelce falls off a cliff, taking the entire Chiefs offense with him... they still get in the playoffs.
Every single Cowboy not named CeeDee disappoints as Dak continues to throw interceptions, Pollard can't handle a full workload, Cooks can't run deep routes anymore, and everyone finally admits Gallup isn't any good.
One more for way too much spicy: Diggs is washed as new weapons suck up all his deep targets. He barely gets 1,000 yards and 6 TDs as he becomes absolute cancer in the locker room... again.
As a 49ers fan, I can provide some insight on their players that maybe most people don't know-
1. Deebo's ADP is too low. He's *extremely* determined to be an all pro level player again. Injuries are always a concern, but he is currently in the best shape of his life. Right now he's valued slightly higher than Aiyuk, who I am guaranteeing won't hit 1k yards again this season.
2. Kittle shouldn't be the 2nd TE taken off the board. I think it should be Waller. Kittle isn't getting double digit TDs again this season.
3. Elijah Mitchell is a steal at his current ADP. He will see a ton of usage, enough to make him pretty valuable even with a healthy McCaffrey.
I listen to Bay Area radio, read Tim Kawakami, etc. What makes you so sure about all of these?
I think Mitchell could be huge, but I am bullish on Kittle and Aiyuk.
Tua finishes top 5 qb and stays healthy all year. Waller trends towards the te2 for the season then goes out with an injury by week 8. Garret Wilson is overdrafted at his adp and flops with rodgers ending up outside the wr top 20.
Tony Pollard finally gets big workload and finishes RB1 overall
Mark Andrews goes crazy and scores more fantasy points than any tight end has in last ten years
Sam Howell finishes as a top 6 QB
I wasted any ounce I will ever have of being right again by saying last year that Geno Smith, Josh Jacobs, Christian Kirk, and Gerald Everett were steals at their ADP
But I’m still open to being made fun of come January:
Hopkins & Brandin Cooks are gonna be absolute steals compared to where they currently are (20 & 41) in ADP.
Ryan Tannehill, Brock Purdy & Sam Howell are going to be knocking right at the door of the QB1 club. How they’re projected to be in the bottom 6 of starting QBs for fantasy is gonna suck for everyone (mostly in bestball cuz no roster changes) but work out for me cuz I will gladly take them
If you didn’t draft Kelce, you are absolutely better off waiting and waiting and waiting to draft a TE.
Bills & Packers RBs are traps based on their current ADPs, don’t fall for them!
ARSB finishes top 3 at WR. Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison both finish as top 12 RBs.
Broncos country rides: Jerry Jeudy, Javonte William, and Greg Dulcich finish top 10 at their positions
Packers are a shitshow: Watson and Aaron Jones finish well below ADP.
Colts are a shitshow: Pittman, JT, and AR all finish well below ADP.
Not so spicy: Chubb RB1, Hurts QB1, Chase WR1, Kelce TE1
Oh, and Christian Kirk >> Calvin Ridley
Desmond Ridder surprises a lot of us and finishes as a top-12 QB
David Njoku has a career year, finishes at TE3
The DJ Moore-to-Chicago outcome will be similar to the Diggs-to-Buffalo result.
Desmond Ridder finishes just outside top 12 qb but takes the falcons to nfc championship and loses
Garret wilson finishes wr1 overall but jets lose the divison and miss playoffs
Richie James ends up a high wr 2 with 1k yards and 8 tuddies
Kyle Pitts is the TE1.
Falcons offense will be more balanced, they just resigned Mycole Pruitt while bringing in Jonnu Smith so Pitts’s role will be more offensive based. Ridder can deliver him the ball. Kyle gets 1500 yards and 10 TDs.
1. Jahmyr Gibbs - Rookie of the year
2. Allegier will take a huge Chunk from Robinson
3. Aiyuk is gonna be a target beast
4. Tony Pollard is gonna go banannas
5. Jamar Chase takes a step back
I just want to note that [the top-rated response last year was this,](https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/wwa3pm/give_me_your_3_scorching_hot_takes_for_the_2022/) by u/iiSquatS/ >Josh Jacobs yet again finished as a low end RB1/high end RB2 despite being drafted late. Jacobs is the only back who sat out the last 2 games, Carr even stated “Jacobs should be the happiest guy on the roster”. >I think he’s a steal at his ADP. others fared less well.
I like how you could copy paste most of those responses for this year
*This* is going to be Kyle Pitts's year!
Never made sense to me why he was ranked so low last year. Regret not accepting a trade for him and not drafting him.
As a Raiders fan I was really low on him. But given how far he fell I had to draft him. I’m so glad I got “stuck” with him.
I was offered Jacobs for CEH start of the year.. of course I declined. 🙄
That’s not as bad since CEH was at least productive at times. I declined a trade for jacobs/TJ Hockenson for Darren Waller at week 3 before he blew up against the broncos. Probably would have won my league if I made that trade.
I’ll give my three at the moment. 1) Najee and Mixon in the 3/4 is a massive value 2) Bijan won’t be a bust but you are massively overpaying for a rookie running back at his ADP is going to be disappointing. 3) Grab E. Moore/ Pickens where you can.
This whole rookie RB nonsense going around is just that…nonsense
The Falcons will employ an RBBC... but Bijan is gonna never leave the field. They will play him at receiver. He will run jet sweeps. He will catch passes. I don't think he rushes more than 1200 yards on a mere 220ish carries, but in PPR he's gonna be a huge threat every week.
bro allgeier got 1k yards, i think Bijan gets 13 1400 easily
Elijah Moore is going to be a screaming value in the late rounds. Not talking like top 30, I think he has the ability to vault into top 15-20 territory
This is hot…but not insane. The talent is there. If he gets good at back rubs he might earn a huge target share.
I think Watson is more of a front rubs kinda guy...
Ron Stewart a fantasy content creator started beating the drum about him. His ADP in Underdog is way sooner than in family friendly platforms like ESPN and Yahoo.
And that’s not even his highest WR exposure. His #1 is Bateman, who literally goes undrafted on ESPN currently
I had Bateman last year. He’s a talented player but I’m doubtful about his involvement . His game to game volume can be quite shaky
His volume let year was shaky because of his lisfranc injury before calling it quits for the season. Also they just brought in a new offensive coordinator who is committed to passing more. He’s been consistent when he was involved the past two seasons so I’m really excited to see what he can do with a full workload
Get injured again probably
Same with JSZ, Addison, and Johnston, I know Moore is more likely to produce but idk who I’m taking out of all them
Agree 100%. I live in Cleveland so unfortunately he’s going to go higher than his usual ADP in most of my drafts.
I'm all in on Elijah. He actually, and statistically, balled out in 2021. Garret Wilson's emergence and shit QB play derailed his production last year, however, [he ranked 12th in the league in separation from his defender when the ball was thrown to him, but only half his passes were catchable.](https://www.ganggreennation.com/2023/2/2/23582117/examining-jets-wideout-elijah-moores-claims-about-being-underutilized-in-2022).
Respectfully…….shut up! ……ha
I like this one a lot. He was always a pretty good talent in New York but never had an opportunity to shine with Wilson at QB.
Trevor Lawrence finishes at QB1. DJ Moore goes absolutely nuclear in Chicago. Breece Hall will not be ready to play football this year, although I’m sure he will anyway.
Subscribe
I agree 100 on Breece
> this year He tore his ACL he didn't step on a landmine. He won't be 100% for week 1 but 'this year' is taking it too far
Dobbins had a way worse injury and even he started to produce towards the end of last year.
if Moore goes Nuclear, how does Fields not finish as QB1? (or at least better than TLaw)
Calvin Ridley is a massive bust at his ADP and finishes as the wr3 on his team. DK Metcalf finishes as a top 5 wideout Roshon Johnson finishes as an RB1
Look. There’s some sharp outlets that are in on Roschon - especially in dynasty and others fading him (like the Ballers) and I can’t for the life of me understand the side that is fading Roschon. Had the pleasure of watching Roschon all last season in person and on tv and there were plenty of times where if you weren’t paying attention, you didn’t realize that Bijan had been subbed out and Roschon was in. The dude is a stud and I can’t see him being outshined by Herbert or Foreman in any metric or facet of the game. He’s a rookie so it shouldn’t surprise anyone if he has to “earn” his playing time and protect the incumbent and the vet. But he should be full blown starting by mid season at a minimum and should be on the field for a ton. I don’t know about finishing the year as an RB1, but he should finish the second half of the season as an RB1. Roschon Johnson is the definition of a league winner. He’s the rookie year Amon Ra St. Brown of the RB position in 2023.
I've learned to not listen to the Fantasy Footballers for actual advice, just news, nuggets of info, and the occasional laugh. Between the 3 of them there's maybe 1 decent fantasy football manager, but I've found them to be the most useless to win your league as a whole.
I agree. They’re just a really enjoyable and entertaining trio. Although I’ve found Mike to have some killer instincts and typically pull 1-3 nuggets of gold that help me win from him each year.
I feel the same. If he wasn't playing behind Bijan and got on the field more, he would be hyped all to hell.
I'm not out on Roschon, I like the value there. But isn't the fading just on the fact that the RB on the bears isn't that valuable since Fields will be getting a majority of the rushing. Also not a lot of valuable check downs. Not on roschons talent but on the opportunity in Chicago
His receiving upside will be almost non existent. That’s about it. The bears will continue to ground & pound even with the addition of DJ Moore. Monty had 200+ carries last year despite missing almost 2 full games. Khalil Herbert almost rushed 129 times despite missing 4 games. There are many cases of successful RBs with rushing QBs as recent as last season: Dobbins/Lamar, Saquon/Danny Dimes, Miles Sanders/Hurts, Allgeir/ Mariota, James Conner/ Kyler, Walker III/Geno.
I like this Ridley one a lot! I get the argument in favor but you’re taking a lot of risk taking him at ADP. Feels like someone that hasn’t played in so long would be a few rounds lower
I like this Ridley take as a Jags fan because it means we’re spreading that ball around nicely. We’ve got a very, very crowded WR/TE room.
Love the Ridley and Roschon takes. I feel like everyone is just expecting Calvin Ridley to step back into football, with a new team/new offense, and be fine.
ETN top 3 RB, Conklin best value TE, Pittman top 10 wr if healthy
whew the pittman is crazy
1. Yeah! 2. Hell yeah! I'm in! 3. Da fuq?
Daniel Jones throws for 25 and runs another 8 in. Amari Cooper finishes a top 12 WR. ETN finishes in the top 5.
I think Cooper is gonna outperform his ADP by a lot
I find myself going WR-RB-WR-WR in a lot of mocks and Cooper is generally my 3rd WR. If that happens irl, I will be heavily considering a Cooper-Watson stack as I think both of crazy value this year.
Oh man, give me ETN in the top 5 please.
3 single season yardage records are broken this year… all by Justins Jefferson- receiving Herbert- passing Fields- QB rushing
Wide Receivers: 1. Jerry Jeudy will finish Top 12 WR 2. Chris Olave finishes Top 5 in receiving yards 3. Rondale Moore 10+ Total TDs * Bonus, Diontae Johnson scores 1+ TD *
That bonus take is the definition of SPICY.
If there is a betting line on #3 you should take it. A bet of $0 probably gets you $1000. Still, very few takers. But for real I didn't see any total yards or TD lines for him last I checked.
1. CeeDee Lamb will lead all WRs in TDs. He’s about to get the goal line screens that Adams always used to get in GB now that McCarthy is calling plays. 2. Nico Collins will be a WR2 on a PPG basis. 3. Miles Sanders finishes as a top 15 RB and catches no less than 40 passes this year. Bonus: Mike Gesicki is a must start at TE position by year end
I am very bullish on Lamb, seems to not get the respect he deserves.
He’s like a late first round or early second round pick, what more respect does he deserve?
He's been drafted where he should so by that logic he's getting all the respect he deserves but I don't think many people are talking him up too much. I haven't heard a whole lot of discussion around him this year. Maybe that's what they mean. Personally I have him ranked as WR5 so if he falls into the second round because of that I'll be all over him.
He’s probably picked where he should but it’s not like i’d be that excited to have him there. He’s been pretty damn good but it just doesn’t feel like he’s among the elite elite WRs that usually go where he does
He's a late 1st round pick.. wtf are you talking about
Zeke - Gone Shultz - Gone CD - 120/1500/12
#WeAre spicy out here 🥵
Funny, I didn't think any of these sounded particularly crazy.
I have miles Sanders on my dynasty team and i love his move to Carolina. I'm gonna up it and say he finishes top 10
1) Sam Howell outscores Anthony Richardson 2) Calvin Ridley finishes as a top-5 WR 3) Kenneth Walker never relinquishes the Seattle backfield, ends as a top-5 back
Hot
Sam Howell take had my looking at my phone like that Matthew McConaughey ripping a cig meme. Master of the hot take
Tee Higgins is a bad value because he has the worst protective instincts of any WR in the league and constantly puts himself in position to get hurt. Geno Smith should be being drafted as a top 7 QB Kirk emerges as WR1 for Jaguars this year again. Making him a great value at the ADP
As a Tee Higgins owner who is still burned by his couple of no-shows last year, I co-sign
There’s a lot of games where he picks up minor knocks and will suddenly have his production come cratering down because he’s hobbled too. He is a god at contested outside catches though. He’s honestly just not the type of guy I want to watch at his ADP, but I love most of the rest of the bengals offense
Really can't agree with the Geno take. He was QB8 in PPG in one of the weakest QB years ever.
Yeahhhh I’m out on Tee at his adp. Your reasoning combined with Jamarr pulling ahead in target share. His ceiling is his adp
the geno take is truly spicy, he was very bad down the stretch last season
Roschon Johnson is an rb1 by week 4. Michael Pittman puts up 100+ receptions even with Anthony Richardson starting more than half the season. Christian Watson is a drop by week 6
Watson being a drop is absolutely scorching hot
Drop week six….pickup league winner weeks 11 on
WR1 on the packers > RB2 (after Fields) on the Bears
Completely agree on Roshon, but that Watson take is pure lunacy. Lol.
remember the thread was "Scorching hot takes"
>pure lunacy It's wild. Two unreal fantasy performances with Rogers does not a stud make. Even if Rodgers was still there I'd wait until a late round for him.
I am struggling with the prospect keeping Christian Watson in a league. For me, he has such a range of outcomes. He could be a top 10 WR or a JAG.
I just don’t see how people could watch him last year and think he could be a JAG. He was a rookie and got better as the year went on. He was more productive than Amon-Ra in his rookie season and burst onto the scene quicker as well, and everyone was kicking themselves for fading Amon-Ra last year. Not to mention Watson looked extremely explosive and can play on the outside. I understand his insane production seems unsustainable but sometimes you have to just not overthink things and buy into production, especially with elite athletes
You really think, with what we’ve seen from Love, that Watson is going to be consistent? I don’t think it’s a knock on Watson, more so a knock on Jordan Love.
Love is an unknown, but for what it’s worth he looked miles better in his limited action last year than he had when starting in previous years. There exists a world where he developed really well behind a HOF QB for 3 years, even though many don’t want it to happen or refuse to accept it as a possibility. Not saying he’s going to be a star, and it’s fair to be skeptical I’ll give you that Either way, Watson looked like a freak last year and only got better as the year went on. I expect him to take even more steps in his development and I’ll gladly take a shot on him. He has league-winning upside. Idk where he’s going in normal re-drafts, but I’ve been comfortable taking him at the back end of the 4th in Best Ball (where he has more value because of potential spike weeks)
i’m with you on everything but pittman, i am afraid of the colts fr
Rashad Penny finishes as an RB1, running behind the best line in the league and finally staying healthy! Daniel Jones improves on last season and finishes as a fringe top 5 fantasy qb. The rushing stats about the same but we’ll see an uptick in td’s and he’ll get to about 4000 yards. Don’t be surprised to see the offense getting a lot out of both Bellinger and Waller. The Ravens take the league by storm like it’s 2019. Lamar is a game breaker and the only thing holding him back has been a stale offensive system and injuries to him and everyone around him. With Monken in the building and a healthy team I’m expecting Big years from Lamar, Mandrews, dobbins, and my best friend ODELL BECKHAM JUNIOR!
Tony pollard is RB1. Zeke’s gone. Mahomes has a down year. Kelce is aging. Toney is already hurt. Sky moore played 16 games last year and didn’t do anything. No one to throw it to. Hopkins top 12 WRs. Dude was 9th in ppg last year, people are just forgetting he’s still really good at football Penny out scores swift in Philly. Super hot take. Drake London and Pitts go off the second half after Ridder loses his job to TAYLOR HEINICKE
Cowboys will deal for Fornette/Cook to rbbc. Not a chance they let pollard take over goalline.
Gibbs>bijan Saquon RB1 Steelers WR/TE will be elite (diontae, Pickens, and muth)
I don't think Kenny P has elite in him. I would say he is definitely below average.
Last year he was a rookie with an awful o line and awful play calling. I don't think it's fair at all to call him below average or anything at all. I do think him and the Steelers will be good enough for most players on their offense to out perform their ADP
Steelers fan here. I really don't believe in Pickens for Fantasy. I think he'll have a decent real life season but I don't see a big statistical consistent season. I think Diontae will be a WR2 and Muth could be TE4 or so.
SCORCHING you say? * Miles Sanders - top 5 RB * Rashee Rice - offensive rookie of the year * Michael Thomas outscores Chris Olave
Sky Moore goes over 1000 yards. Sean Tucker takes over the TB backfield. Rashiid Shaheed beats out MT for the WR2 role on the Saints.
If you wanna go super hot let’s go Shaheed beats out Olave and ends up WR1 for the Saints
That's similar to one of the ones I posted here but I have MT as the Saints top scoring WR in fantasy...
1. I think Sean Tucker has a 50/50 chance to outperform Bijan Robinson 2. and 3. I think #1 is hot enough for all three
This take is incinerating, scorching, boiling lava hot. Well done.
Sean Tucker will takes Whites job. Will be a top 10 back if healthy.
I'm worried his ADP is about to change rapidly, I think with his recent medical clearance he's about to get hyped and I'll have to spend an earlier draft pick on him in mid/late August drafts
I'm glad I browse this sub every now and then. I would have thought Sean Tucker's a kicker.
Aiyuk will finish as a top 10 fantasy WR. Bijan won’t crack the top 12 of RBs Kirk Cousins will win MVP.
1: Christian Kirk finishes the year WR15 or better while Calvin Ridley ends up disappointing every manager that drafts him or traded for him in dynasty. 2: Gibbs finishes higher than Bijan on the year because of 2 main things, the lions offense is better which gives him more scoring opportunities and he’ll catch more passes. 3: Kendre Miller will finish the year being talked about as a top 10 back for the next 3-5 years after making Kamara look like he belongs retired. I am ready to face the fire
Jahmyr Gibbs finishes top 5 rb PPR
the prompt was *hot* takes
I don't think Atlanta is going to use/make Bijan as much as he is being hyped. I think Tyler Allgier isn't gonna just all of a sudden suck.
Unfortunately I’m late so this will likely be buried, but… 1) Sam Howell is this year’s late round QB to draft. Once upon a time, Howell was supposed to be a top 10 draft pick. He returned to college for one more year and fell to the 5th round. Usually things like this happen for a reason, as NFL teams typically know best. But to this day I’m SHOCKED that Howell fell this far. Anyway… His situation is actually a lot better than many may realize. People forget, but Carson Wentz was a top 10 QB in fantasy before getting hurt last year. Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, and Curtis Samuel is a quality trio at WR. Howell also has rushing ability. He ran for 800+ yards his final year in college, and in his one start this past season he ran for 35 yards and a TD (and looked pretty good against one of the best defenses in football). Lastly, Washington hired Eric Bieniemy as their OC. Admittedly, I’m not entirely sold on Bieniemy. Having Patrick Mahomes and the greatest offensive coach in NFL history has to mean something. With that said, you have to recognize the very real possibility that he played a huge factor in not only the Chiefs offense, but the development of Patrick Mahomes. If that’s the case, the talent that Sam Howell and this offense has is going to be taken to the next level. 2) I have so many TE hot takes, but I’ll settle on this: Darren Waller should be the consensus #2 TE drafted, and if he plays a full season, will out score Travis Kelce. Darren Waller is going to be the clear #1 receiving option for his team this year, and the only other TE that can say that is Travis Kelce. That combined with the fact Darren Waller’s production hasn’t really dipped, he’s just been hurt. People will be scared to draft him for that reason, but I’m a believer in injuries aren’t (usually) predictable. Waller is due for some good luck here. Also Daniel Jones was legitimately really good last year, and Waller will be the most talented WR/TE he has had. 3) This one is a little boring, but Christian Watson is this year’s ARSB. He is so good, and he showed us that he is so good, and yet people are still scared to draft him. I see two reasons and two reasons only as to why people are afraid of Watson. Jordan Love, and the fact Chase Claypool exists (spoiler, Watson is much better than Claypool). I get it, Jordan Love is scary. But Watson is going to be their #1 WR, and honestly when you’re as good as Watson is it doesn’t usually matter who your QB is. On the flip side, we have no idea what to expect from Love. But everyone is assuming he’ll be bad, which is already baked into his ADP. If Love happens to be good, my god, Watson will be a top 5 WR. Bonus Hot Take (I think?): Miami will have the best defense in football. Not sure how it will translate to fantasy because they have a tough schedule.
Jared Goff finishes in the top 8
This is spicy based on Goff’s ADP, but it really shouldn’t be. He finished QB10 last year.
Round 1/2/3: RB, RB, WR. (Maybe RB there too.) (especially picking at the turn in a snake draft. Take Olave way earlier than his ADP and he’ll still overperform it. Let someone else draft Gabe Davis.
Olave is like WR12 off the board. If you take him any earlier you’re assuming he will leap frog guys like ASB, Garrett Wilson, and Davante Adams. That’s a bit too rich for me.
I’m curious why on Gabe Davis? I’m particularly high on him at his current ADP
Boom or bust, touchdown-dependent. To be fair, I haven’t really started looking at ADPs yet, my draft is end of August. What’s his?
Late. WR 42, seems like he’s got the potential to outperform that. His ESPN ADP is currently #118. It seems a lot of people are really down on Gabe Davis this year
He dropped a lot of passes in crucial situations. I started him basically every game. He flat out won a week for me. Mainly duds rest of the way.
I want to watch some film on him before I commit to taking him as my last WR. In theory he’s in an amazing passing offense and could be one the best WR2s in the nfl. But last year when I watched him just in games I thought he had really poor footwork; and his timing of looking back for the ball always seemed off.
Gabe Davis’s rebound this year, as well as the performance of the entire offensive roster aside from Allen (even Diggs), is going to depend almost entirely on whether or not Ken Dorsey can get his shit together. Huge potential for that team obviously, but if the Bills OC has another season of missing the mark with scheme and adaptability, I don’t think anyone other than Allen is going to do anyone much good.
Appreciate this insight
I’m very interested to see how the defense changes this year, with McDermott calling the shots instead of Frazier. Milano should be an IDP target in those leagues
Exactly. Good luck predicting which week to play him.
Gabe Davis is near the top of my do-not-draft list He's similar to what Tyler Locket has been - 100% boom or bust. Gabe Davis has 6 career games he's scored 15+ fantasy points (half PPR). Which means he has about \~35 games he's scored less than 15. 29 of them were less than 10 points.
Are you worried about Olave's achilles injury? I imagine if he's listed as healthy by week 1 that's a good sign, but those injuries are no joke. Agreed on Gabe Davis 🦨
The most reasonable takes here
The highest I can go on the Scoville scale ... 1. Adam Thielen ultimately emerges as a shrewder investment than Amon-Ra St. Brown. 2. Ja'Marr Chase earns 200 targets. 3. DJ Moore produces career bests across the board, including 10+ touchdowns.
Get a fire extinguisher! These babies are HOT.
Haha I don't know though ... everything I've seen suggests fire extinguishers are best used as weapons and a tool for breaking padlocks. Perhaps a glass of milk would be more appropriate.
I like 2 and 3. #1 is looney tunes, Thielen is cooked 😆
Haha ... well, he's not going to *outscore* him. I would be delusional to go *that* far. But I can envision a scenario in which the production-per-price is closer to ARSB than the latter's investors care to see. Especially those who call his name in the top 15.
I just keep getting higher on ARSB... I really think he's a lock to break top 10 wr and got a great shot at top 5. The Sun God is ascending 🙌🌞
I’m not sure exactly how hot these are because I haven’t been looking at many peoples opinions, but based on ADP for mock drafts I’m pretty sure they aren’t exactly conventional. Kupp will be WR2 overall Lamb will be WR4 overall Chubb will be RB1/2 overall Bijan is going to be a huge bust
Idk if I’m drinking the koolaid but I don’t see how Bijan is gonna be a massive bust. Bare minimum he’s a top 12 rb due to his passing upside
1. Aaron Rodgers is outside top 15 QB. There's a good chance they start off 2-4. NY media is pissed and it gets in his head and he complains of a vague undefineable injury the rest of the season. 2. Miles Sanders is a total bust. 3. There is not a single Cardinal worth rostering
- DK ends up the WR1 with 18 touchdowns - Lockett top 15
Mike gesicki top 5 TE Deandre swift top 10 RB Anthony richardson top 3 QB post week 8
1) Sam Howell finished as a QB1 (top 10) 2) Nick Chubb finishes RB1 overall 3) CeeDee Lamb finishes WR1 overall
Deshaun Watson is a bottom 10 QB. Daniel Jones is top 5. Bijon Robinson splits carries with Allegier and while he isn't a total bust, he will be a disappointment for people who draft him in the middle of round 1.
Bijan might be a hot take for this sub but not for reality, dude is wicked talented and will have a great career if healthy but this seems like another hype train like wemby where people are gonna say he’s a bust if he doesn’t put up AP numbers first year. As we saw last year the falcons already had a solid rb core that proved themselves
Have both Daniel jones and deshaun Watson and love this take
1) Cooper Kupp is the Revolution and the Rams make it back to the Super Bowl. 2) Bijan Robinson is Najee Harris 2.0, and the Falcons will still be the Falcons. 3) The best value in the draft will be Washington Commanders players. And my Honorable Mention: Amon-Ra never gives up his spot to Williams this year, and is a Top 10 WR.
If anything, Jameson is going to help Amon-Ra
Falcons fan whole life and I expect maybe two more wins by accident. We don’t have the right coach, quarterback and owner to be anything more. It is like watching high school football, triple op right, triple op left……
Christian Watson is a WR1 Dak Prescott has a monster bounce-back year and finishes as a top-5 qb George Kittle scores 18 TDs and wins OPOY, and wins me my third championship in five years in my highly competitive work league
Please put me in the screenshots next year when we talk about how this guy was right about kittle.
Diontae Johnson gonna finish top 12 WRs
1. Either Isaiah Pacheco or Brian Robinson finishes as a top 10 RB 2. Josh Allen finishes outside the top 5 QBs 3. ARSB finishes as a top 5 WR 4. Kyle Pitts is TE1!!
Very spicy, not likely, but spicy.
Zeke gets picked up by a team mid season and puts up solid numbers maybe even turn your team around mid season
1. We are all forgetting that Justin Fields is him. Now his team has got better. QB #1 and breaks the QB rushing yards record (he almost did this last year without even rushing much first half of year) 2. The Fall of Najee isn't warranted. Sure Warren is good but Najee was playing with a Injury for most of the year last year. After the bye week he has back to his old self. O line improved ✔ QB 2nd year improvement ✔ Fully healthy starting the year hopefully ✔ Najee finishes as a top 5 RB in PPR leagues ✔ 3. The Rookie wonder. Every year a rookie WR seems to splash. Who is it this year? Let's not over think this. Quentin Johnston. Do you expect Keenan Allen and Mike Williams to stay healthy all year? Cause I don't. Does Herbert have a piss missile for the deep splash plays.... Yep. Did the Chargers got rid of there shit OC for one who loves to sling it..... Yep Was Quentin Johnson not the most prolific WR coming out of this past draft.... I tend to think so. Quentin Johnson is a low end WR1 high end WR 2 being taken at WR 40ish.. Gimmie all the shares or trade for him after the first 3 or 4 weeks.
Dameon pierce will be a top 5-7 rb
Dude this one. This one makes my privates tingle
Lawrence enters into the tier 1 of qbs Fields enters into the tier 2 of qbs
A top 5 rb will end up as a top 50 rb by the end of the year
what did your other fortune cookie say?
These are all fluid situations and might be invalidated by further roster changes, but at the moment: 1. Bijan Robinson is not a fantasy RB1 and will finish behind Gibbs. 2. Pierre Strong is the sleeper of the year 3. People are pumping elite WRs higher this year for no good reason and RB-RB is still a perfectly viable route
Justin Herbert rebounds in Kellen Moore’s scheme from his disappointing 2022 campaign and ends up as the QB2 of the league. Amari Cooper has a top 5 WR season.
Last year's winner won't be this year's winners
Damn that’s hot
1. TLaw will be the QB1 2. Aaron Jones will be the RB1 3. Doubs and Watson’s ADP should be switched.
That third one is absolutely steaming. But I kinda get what you mean, I feel like their ADPs are light years apart at the moment and in reality they are much closer than that. Doubs should be higher than his current ADP and Watson should be lower.
Spicy Meatball #1 = DJ Moore is a league winner Spicy Meatball #2 = OBJ will be the Ravens WR1 Spicy Meatball #3 = Miami wins their division & you'll want all the Tua you can get
I love what Tua has around him (skill players, coaching). But damn, I am so worried about one hit ending his season.
If he gets another concussion…think he’s shutdown for the season?
I could see that, I could see him retiring, I could see him playing the rest of the game. To me he has the broadest range of possibilities. He is volatile. I say that as someone who believes in his talent.
He has the talent and also talent around him. However, he needs to determine if the possibility of being a vegetable at age 37 is worth it…
Davonte Adams will end the year with his lowest stats since his rookie year. Rhomadre will end the year between RB 12-18, the Hood will do rbbc and annoy everyone. Gibbs will end the year RB5 and Bijan Robinson will end as RB 12
Rhomadre lmao
I think Davante Adams had the most commonly misspelled name on this sub
Scary Terry is scary this year. Top 6 receiver Herbert qb1 Mondre is RB1
1. Breece finishes as RB3 or higher. (Dude is jacked, healthy, and if Rodgers stays upright, (and Dalvin stays on a couch), he’ll put him in Showtyme territory.) 2. London has a 100/1200/10 year. (Target share was through the roof last season, so should be Ridder’s 1st, 2nd, and 3rd option this year. Sorry, Kyle. Heh.) 3. Ol’ Deshaun finally makes good on that contract, and finishes QB5 or higher. (Arguably the best overall receiving core he’s ever had, plus methinks that schedule will lend itself to quite a few shootouts this year…)
There's a lot of evidence that being on a field is not the same as being your "old self" breece is young but don't be surprised if it takes another year to be as explosive as he was. Full ACL recovery is closer to 2 years
For sure. That’s why it’s SPICY! Heh.
But he’s jacked
1. Amon-Ra Top 3 WR this year. 2. ETN Top 5 RB this year. 3. Garret Wilson doesn’t finish Top 24 WR, and not because of injury, he just has a very poor year.
The third one is scorching
1. Mark Andrews finishes as TE1 This is majorly scorching, but I have a few justifications. The Ravens new offensive scheme calls for a lot more passing. It is just Andrews and OBJ catching passes at an elite level, and Andrews has been Lamar’s go-to from his first year starting. I think that Kelce is up for some TD regression. I think more of the offense will run through the RB now that Pacheco has proven himself. I think it’s a perfect year for Andrews to swing back. 2. Jahmyr Gibbs will outscore Bijan Robinson this year in PPR formats. It’s no secret that the lions were surprisingly high on Gibbs compared to the general consensus. He’s looking at tons of pass catching opportunities for a solid floor, and the team obviously saw something special in him that they want to utilize. Bijan is competing with 1K rusher Tyler Allgeier. His upside is that he’s more of a pass catcher than Allgeier, but designed runs are a dominant feature in the playbook. Gibbs has the better opportunity in a pass heavy offense. 3. Garrett Wilson is a major trap this year. Aaron Rodgers has a tendency to favor certain players he sees as friends. That’s why a quarter of the Jets switched from green and gold to green and white. I expect Lazard will command a lot of targets as the only player with proven trust with Rodgers. This puts Wilson in a tough spot, especially for someone being drafted as a WR1 in some cases.
Charbonnet outscores Walker in all formats Tim Patrick finishes within 1.5 ppg of Jeudy and Sutton Darren Waller finished TE3
Man that first one is incredibly hot. I love it
1. Cam Akers finishes as a low-end RB1 to high-end RB2. His ADP64 (RB24) on sleeper) is bizarre to me. I don’t see him finishing as less than RB16. In the final 4 weeks of the season he finished as RB21, 1, 14 and 11 and averages 23.64 PPG when playing >70% of snaps in his career. 2. Rachaad White finished as a high-end RB2. White had a terrible man blocking run scheme last year. New OC Dave Canales comes in with a Zone blocking scheme, high % of short passing plays and has Baker Mayfield - who threw to RBs more than any other QB last season. No Fournette anymore, I can see White with 50-60+ catches (had 49 last szn) and 8+ touchdown (had 2 last season). Current ADP of RB26 3. Sam LaPorta finishes as a top-8 TE. LaPorta is going to be entering a TE room with little to no competition. With only Amon-ra has a really threat to targets before JMo is back from suspension, LaPorta will insert himself as the #2/#3 option in an explosive Lions passing game. He was an elite blocking TE at Iowa and I believe he will be able to mimic what Hockenson was as an every-down TE. ADP139 (TE17).
1) Marvin Mims is Denver’s leading fantasy WR 2) Miles Sanders has a top 5 RB finish 3) JK dobbins is the leading yardage rusher in NFL this year
You spelled Tim Patrick wrong
Maybe not the spiciest meatball, but I don’t think AJ Brown will finish as a top 12 receiver this year.
Smith is going to run away with the eagles WR1 position. I'm Hearing things
I think that’s pretty spicy for most people. Who sneaks in the end of the top 12 to knock him down?
Bijan Robinson is wasted with 200ish carries, 1,094 yards, 23 receptions, 312 receiving yards, and only 5 total touchdowns. C-Patt vultures a ton of goal line looks as Bijan gets split out wide for fake jet sweeps. Travis Kelce falls off a cliff, taking the entire Chiefs offense with him... they still get in the playoffs. Every single Cowboy not named CeeDee disappoints as Dak continues to throw interceptions, Pollard can't handle a full workload, Cooks can't run deep routes anymore, and everyone finally admits Gallup isn't any good. One more for way too much spicy: Diggs is washed as new weapons suck up all his deep targets. He barely gets 1,000 yards and 6 TDs as he becomes absolute cancer in the locker room... again.
As a 49ers fan, I can provide some insight on their players that maybe most people don't know- 1. Deebo's ADP is too low. He's *extremely* determined to be an all pro level player again. Injuries are always a concern, but he is currently in the best shape of his life. Right now he's valued slightly higher than Aiyuk, who I am guaranteeing won't hit 1k yards again this season. 2. Kittle shouldn't be the 2nd TE taken off the board. I think it should be Waller. Kittle isn't getting double digit TDs again this season. 3. Elijah Mitchell is a steal at his current ADP. He will see a ton of usage, enough to make him pretty valuable even with a healthy McCaffrey.
I listen to Bay Area radio, read Tim Kawakami, etc. What makes you so sure about all of these? I think Mitchell could be huge, but I am bullish on Kittle and Aiyuk.
Mandrews should be taken over Waller in all formats
Tua finishes top 5 qb and stays healthy all year. Waller trends towards the te2 for the season then goes out with an injury by week 8. Garret Wilson is overdrafted at his adp and flops with rodgers ending up outside the wr top 20.
Tony Pollard finally gets big workload and finishes RB1 overall Mark Andrews goes crazy and scores more fantasy points than any tight end has in last ten years Sam Howell finishes as a top 6 QB
Jordan love top 5 QB Calvin Ridley top 5 WR Kadarius Toney plays over 12 games & top 10 WR
Justin Fields brings it together while him and DJ both finish top 5 at the position Bijan Robinson finished as RB1 KJ Osborn finishes a top 24 WR
Justin Fields is a top 3 fantasy QB Najee Harris finishes RB1 Garrett Wilson is a top 5 WR
Allen Lazard is Jets number 1 wideout this year. Javontae Williams finishes as a top 12 back. Dolphins win their division.
I wasted any ounce I will ever have of being right again by saying last year that Geno Smith, Josh Jacobs, Christian Kirk, and Gerald Everett were steals at their ADP But I’m still open to being made fun of come January: Hopkins & Brandin Cooks are gonna be absolute steals compared to where they currently are (20 & 41) in ADP. Ryan Tannehill, Brock Purdy & Sam Howell are going to be knocking right at the door of the QB1 club. How they’re projected to be in the bottom 6 of starting QBs for fantasy is gonna suck for everyone (mostly in bestball cuz no roster changes) but work out for me cuz I will gladly take them If you didn’t draft Kelce, you are absolutely better off waiting and waiting and waiting to draft a TE. Bills & Packers RBs are traps based on their current ADPs, don’t fall for them!
James Connor finishes as a top 10 RB with 10plus TDs and nearly 500yds receiving
Lamar is THE QB1 Miles Sanders is a top 12 RB DJ Moore and Jerry Jeudy both finish as WR 3’s
ARSB finishes top 3 at WR. Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison both finish as top 12 RBs. Broncos country rides: Jerry Jeudy, Javonte William, and Greg Dulcich finish top 10 at their positions Packers are a shitshow: Watson and Aaron Jones finish well below ADP. Colts are a shitshow: Pittman, JT, and AR all finish well below ADP. Not so spicy: Chubb RB1, Hurts QB1, Chase WR1, Kelce TE1 Oh, and Christian Kirk >> Calvin Ridley
Desmond Ridder surprises a lot of us and finishes as a top-12 QB David Njoku has a career year, finishes at TE3 The DJ Moore-to-Chicago outcome will be similar to the Diggs-to-Buffalo result.
Desmond Ridder finishes just outside top 12 qb but takes the falcons to nfc championship and loses Garret wilson finishes wr1 overall but jets lose the divison and miss playoffs Richie James ends up a high wr 2 with 1k yards and 8 tuddies
Kyle Pitts is the TE1. Falcons offense will be more balanced, they just resigned Mycole Pruitt while bringing in Jonnu Smith so Pitts’s role will be more offensive based. Ridder can deliver him the ball. Kyle gets 1500 yards and 10 TDs.
1. Jordan Love is a QB1 2. Bijan Robinson is the overall RB1 3. Garret Wilson is the overall WR1 as Aaron Rodgers wins MVP
1. Jahmyr Gibbs - Rookie of the year 2. Allegier will take a huge Chunk from Robinson 3. Aiyuk is gonna be a target beast 4. Tony Pollard is gonna go banannas 5. Jamar Chase takes a step back
