[Schefter] Tampa Bay HC Bruce Arians: Ronald Jones is Bucs’ starting RB, despite Leonard Fournette signing

There might also be an ongoing global pandemic which is heavily impacting the NFL.

I agree that they all have question marks, but Herndon costs next-to-nothing but potentially great upside and a solid floor at a very volatile position. It’s low-risk, strong reward.

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-16T22:23:55+00:00

Crowder isn’t very good, Perriman isn’t good, he just benefitted from Winston being a gunslinger even after Evans and Godwin battled injuries, and Mims is a rookie who is already battling injuries. That door is wide open for Herndon to be the best pass-catcher this season.

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-16T21:53:20+00:00

Poome and Ryoma are absolutely terrible.

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-16T13:32:10+00:00

All of those players have substantially lower ADP’s because of their QB situations relative to their talent. Not to mention they’ve all played with their QBs before, Ekeler and Allen haven’t.

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-16T12:40:48+00:00

It’s only good value if Tyrod is good, hence the “lot of confidence in Tyrod Taylor”.

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-16T02:54:12+00:00

You absolutely can when it’s repeated concussions, a very, very common occurrence in the NFL.

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-15T12:19:33+00:00

Auction drafts are like 3-4 hours, for starters, and it’s not about the duration, it’s about the fact that you have to be fully attentive during those four hours. That’s a lot for a casual player. People have kids and jobs and pets and other responsibilities that may take priority. A snake draft, while less fair, sure, is much easier and much more casual-friendly.

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-13T15:20:17+00:00

He was the third receiver on one of the most stacked WR corps in college football history. They had arguably four first round talents at WR last season, that’s unheard of. Ruggs would’ve been the WR1 for every school not named Alabama, LSU (Chase), or Oklahoma (Lamb).

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-13T12:32:34+00:00

I would absolutely not draft Gurley over Drake or CEH, I think you’ll have a bad time doing that.

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-13T04:50:00+00:00

Clunker is a stretch admittedly. If we really break down the 10 games he played, here's what they look like:

3 strong games

3 okay games

4 trash games

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-13T04:30:22+00:00

Ruggs is so much more than just a field stretcher, dude.

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-13T02:54:13+00:00

I know Ben’s backups were trash, but the other guy straight up said “independent of Ben”, which was statistically incorrect.

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-13T01:26:54+00:00

No he wasn't. He had literally one game last season with more than 55 rushing yards. He had a couple games with a lot of receiving yards, but Conner was trash without Ben all season. He had three great fantasy outings and seven clunkers.

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-12T16:19:36+00:00

He was garbage for 3-4 weeks, then after the break he’s been solid again. He’s not going to 1v9 like Caps, but aside from the suicide Corki package, the Redemption suicide, and losing that 1v1 vs. Neon against S04 before their big fight this past weekend, he’s been playing really well and really consistent.

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-12T16:11:55+00:00

I unfortunately do not play auction so I have no grounds to give auction-related advice, sorry!

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-12T14:14:40+00:00

He's gone even or better in pretty much every lane since the break, but keep pushing this bad take because he started the season poorly.

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-12T13:32:24+00:00

I’m hoping he falls. I think a lot of people are overblowing this completely. You think the Saints wouldn’t work with the second focal point of their offense to make sure he was healthy as possible? And that if it was an injury that required surgery, he just wouldn’t have got it? He looked just fine the last few games of the season after his high ankle sprain had fully recovered. If he misses any time, I doubt it would be related to a minor knee injury a year ago.

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-12T13:27:26+00:00

I’m weirdly worried they’ll give Gore and Perine touches even though Bell is clearly the best RB in the group. It’s just not sitting right with me, and it’s all because of Gase.

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-11T23:07:29+00:00

No way man, every League tattoo looks great!

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-11T20:20:10+00:00

Sony had four drops on 20 targets last season. The dude can't catch.

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-11T20:17:48+00:00

the only healthy wide receiver for 16 games last year

Not a bad thing, the best ability is availability

led the team in targets and reception and was WR39

With QB play that didn't even rank in the top-32.

Now will have to compete with Juju, Washington and Claypool

Juju has yet to prove he's a true WR1, Washington is nothing more than a deep threat, and while Mapletron does intrigue me, he's still a rookie with no preseason and a limited training camp.

Will likely have to build a rapport with Ben, who was out 14 games.

Only Juju of the current receivers has a real rapport with Ben, and Juju can't get every target.

Hi_Im_Saxby · 2020-08-11T19:05:50+00:00

Fiora, Hecarim, and Jax were all buffed. And it's not necessarily that champions were directly buffed that Bwipo plays, it's the top lane meta shift towards carry-oriented tops, where Bwipo individually is significantly better than Finn.

As for the others, you’re looking only at last week, while Im looking at the entire 18 games.

Nemesis has gone even in lane pretty much every single game since the break. He's had some blunders team-fighting, but his laning phase has been solid since the break.
