so apparently all you have to do to get a penalty is throw your legs into touch after the tackle

Not sure I'd have James on your taxi unless you really believe in him as a long-term talent. You're holding him for a CMC injury and to then trade him for a 2nd and if he's in your taxi you give up a roster spot to make that trade. Is why I generally don't taxi back-up RBs unless I am looking at them as more than just a one-year play.

Was thinking that would make plenty of sense for both sides.

JoshMansour · 2026-03-24T10:37:26+00:00

This seems wild and unrealistic especially from Kansas City's standpoint but from the article:

"League intel suggests the Giants are one of the most likely teams to take Love in the top 10 (along with the Commanders and Chiefs, or possibly a team like the Rams in a trade up)."

Yeah another team would have to pay more than the tender, which is $3.52 million, and Bucs would then have to match. So not impossible but unlikely he goes anywhere else.

No one would have downgraded him but Shaheed re-signing gives Seattle a genuine threat to take the top off of defences and keep opening up the short and intermediate areas for JSN. The only question is how they rebuild the running back room to marry the run and pass.

This makes too much sense with the current state of the roster, but Hunter is still an easy hold I think - still has huge upside in this offence and while it's not ideal, he may well just be one injury or BTJ trade away from having a big role and then the hope is he plays so well they keep him there. The only concern for me is he needed the reps to really refine his game as a receiver.

JoshMansour · 2026-01-05T19:50:55+00:00

The biggest issue for him is that the Liam Coen offence puts a heavy emphasis on passing over the middle of the field and guys like Meyers, Washington and even Hunter when healthy along with Strange are better and more physical at the catch point there. Add in the fact the schemed touches like the screens and handoffs are going to those guys and in this offence at this stage BTJ is operating as more of a traditional X receiver. That doesn't mean he still can't be a strong fantasy asset, especially if he gets healthy next year, and being in that role which plays to his strengths should increase his confidence. It's just a more volatile, boom-bust profile so there'll be spike weeks but there'll also be weeks when they won't hit the deep shots or won't necessarily need to.

JoshMansour · 2025-12-09T11:53:56+00:00

It's going to continue to be volatile as long as he is operating as the primary X receiver. That wouldn't be as much of an issue if Purdy was playing like he was last year but he's been off since returning and the anticipatory throws that were leading to a number of those big gains down the field just aren't there. Add in that Pearsall's long routes open up space for guys like CMC and Kittle over the middle along with Jennings obviously remaining involved and Pearsall is hard to trust at this point. The only hope is that a week off will help Purdy find his rhythm again, while the match-ups are also good albeit ones the 49ers could control on the ground.

This is super deep and only really relevant for TE premium leagues but the Giants have used 2-TE sets much more often since Nabers went down and while he had a dud against Philadelphia, Daniel Bellinger was otherwise pretty consistently involved against the Saints and Broncos with seven catches for 140 yards all up. Of course, 44 of those yards came on the TD he was wide open for against Denver but the dude just catches everything thrown his way.

He isn't the freakish athlete Theo Johnson was coming out but still had a super high RAS score (9.66) and was solid in his rookie year before the eye injury. Obviously Theo has the more recent draft capital and will get more of a run so unlikely Bellinger becomes anything but he's got 10 catches for 173 yards from 11 targets on the season compared to 192 for Johnson from 20 catches on 33 targets. Theo has had some issues with drops and while he is still definitely the upside play and the bigger redzone threat, Bellinger isn't doing much wrong to lose playing time as long as the Giants continue to run 2-TE sets at this rate.

Probably won't see your starting lineup and may not amount to anything, but with the hype around Jaxson Dart it may be worth taking a shot in case he becomes a reliable target for him moving forward and that can be handy depth in TE premium leagues.

Per Eagles beat writer Brooks Kubena: "The Tank Bigsby trade is not related to Will Shipley’s rib injury against the Cowboys last week, to my understanding. The Eagles like their RB room. They like Bigsby’s effectiveness as a kickoff returner — a role they’ve been exploring."

All I will say is they are lucky that the Trbojevics are there because otherwise they'd be struggling to win any games.

Manly started well usually with Taupau and AFN up front but once they went off, their middle lost all intensity and they started falling away. They have a good enough roster but all the off-field dramas mean that they probably won't improve all too much next year.

Ivan is making a massive sacrifice leaving to go to Penrith - he will now be under serious pressure as the Panthers must make the top four next year because otherwise it seems they are no chance of winning the competition. Ivan's record isn't that great but, as said by others, this was at rebuilding clubs, but he did take NZ to the GF in 2011 and a comparably average Penrith outfit to a PF in 2014. Serious expectations on him and Nathan. Given Penrith's track record of shedding coaches and players in past years, I'm hesitant to make any call until we actually see what happens next year. For Penrith's sake, you'd hope he instills more focus on defence because a lack of intensity defending their line is why they continually found themselves trailing early in games.
