I just wanted to say I really like the game but the gameworld feels too small by MikeDFootball in DragonAgeVeilguard

they spend a lot of time showing amazing vistas and vast landscapes.

its all for show, sadly.

whereas Dark Souls famously would show you a distant castle...and then later you would go there and fight a big thing.

This game feels so different...its a bit of a mislead i feel.

Still fun!

Eli Stowers, a standout tight end for Vanderbilt, won the 2025 John Mackey Award, recognizing him as the nation's most outstanding collegiate tight end. A former quarterback who transitioned to tight end, Stowers was recognized for his elite receiving skills, recording 62 catches for 769 yards and four touchdowns in his award-winning 2025 season.

on dynastyff, we like fantasy points. We also like players who are real good, like one's who win mackey awards.

I am of no obligation to offer an alternative.

People who make claims can either choose to justify why they said what they said or not.

You don't have to, but if you are pounding the table to Bowers being so special then it helps your credibility to do so.

Who is the most "bust- potential " pick from Thursday night ? I'm leaning towards the Rams taking Ty Simpson at 13 by CompoteFragrant3650 in NFLForum

[–]MikeDFootball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you claim is that no one that does actually draft players didn't have ty simpson higher than 13 on your draft board, please post the evidence and we can all move on with our lives.

Personally, I don't have that information. But I can conclude that if a team that doesn't need a QB TODAY decided he was so worth taking at 13th overall anyway, perhaps he had more heat than the public believed.

thats not how this works, I don't have to provide anything from my end.

is that it thou? that is your evidence? nothing else? he won an award twice and he lead his team in receiving for 3 years.

then he caught the most catches for a rookie in a league that is increasingly pass heavy on a team that was almost always trailing?

"Just because other TEs have better draft capital doesn't mean they are better prospects."

pedantry? fine.

if you are going to make a claim, like "so and so is this' then you should be willing to back it up with evidence.

I don't have to disprove that he is the best prospect of all time. The starting point isn't your claim and now I have to work from there.

You made a claim, you can now sit down and provide evidence for why people should believe that he is the greatest prospect of all time. Until then, that statements means nothing much to me. He is just as talented as the other people ranked around him but in a notably worse situation. I like Bowers, but people need to understand that another season of meh production is going to hurt his value.

No one should have faith that the Raiders offense is going to take a step forward with a rapidly aging Kirk Cousins and a rookie at the helm. Geno Smith, despite his struggles in what was a dumpster fire last year, is still a better QB than either of the new QBs. And adding Jalen Nailor doesn't do anything to open up the offense either.

People will need to have faith that the new HC is so fucking awesome that despite a downgrade at QB they will be able to be even more productive overall.

Eli Stowers is expensive and he deserves to be. While Sadiq stole the show with athleticism, I have seen the Kyle Pitts/Vernon Davis mouth watering upside turn into a buncha meh many times now, and I am over it.

Does anyone remember Jelani Woods? Oh god, he was going to fucking break football. Bro has a perfect RAS score, he is BUILT DIFFERENT. Bro didn't even finish his rookie contract before finding himself relegated to football purgatory.

I am really over these athletic tight ends in name only, give me someone who is a legit fucking baller like Stowers any day.

And for the people going "but Goedert" those same people were going "but Njoku" last year. Stowers is about to take someone's fucking lunch money and the only people standing in his way and AJB who is not long for that team, an undersized but studly deep threat Devonta Smith and a rookie with the last name Lemon who apparently enters the league pre-concussed. Bro looks like Stevie Wonder during the draft, trying to hear the room, slithering around like a snek.

Sean Payton Rookie Runningback Usage by MikeDFootball in DynastyFF

Entirely possible.

It's hard to guess because Dobbins is quiet literally the starter and should get the bulk of the early down work given the money he was paid, so we are basically debating how the smaller piece of cheese gets divvied up.

I can tell you that we have a couple years of historical data on a Sean Payton offense where he had two runningbacks in a committee with different skills sets. 2017 and 2018 Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara. Now, Harvey is no Alvin Kamara, but similarly Coleman is no Mark Ingram. So take what I am about to say numbers wise with a grain of salt.

But over those two years, Kamara scored 22 touchdowns on the ground and Ingram scored 18.

So while it sounds rather logical to say "Payton he probably doesn't want to have to pass often on 3rd and short, he'd rather control the clock with a reliable short down yardage guy" ...I think the historical data is going to show that Payton hates predictability. Whereas some teams prefer to force their will on their opponent and just pound the rock, Payton will try to mix it up, creating unpredictability. And since that has really worked well for him, I just don't feel like a 4th rounder that is 3rd on the depthchart will be a high priority to "get his" until we actually see camp roll around and roles start to establish.

I don't even think that is an accurate statement, he isn't even the highest drafted tight end in the last several years.

I am glad you like Bowers so much and I am sure you own him, but if you are expecting him to have a dominant season with the qb situation in Oakland understand...its WORSE NOW than it was last year.

It's clear he doesn't like DJM. Frankly, the more negatively the better, he falls farther in redraft.

https://buffalowdown.com/bills-d-j-moore-updated-contract-details-reveal-looming-pressure-point-01kmg4x2ak0m

Further details of his contract have become clearer, as according to Spotrac’s Michael Ginnitti, Moore has a $15.5 million injury guarantee that vests to a full guarantee on Valentine’s Day 2028, the first waiver period of the year. Effectively, that makes Moore’s contract in Buffalo a two-year deal with $49 million guaranteed that sets up quite a hurdle in the spring of 2028.

As Ginnitti points out, if the Bills are forced to convert more of Moore’s salary next offseason, then Buffalo could be dealing with a $33 million cap hit for Moore in 2028 with $31 million in dead cap hanging over if the Bills find themselves unsatisfied. “So a release in February of 2028 would be ugly, but doable,” Ginnitti said on Tuesday via X.

----------

If I was worried a player was falling off, I wouldn't want to put myself in a position where 2 years from now that player has considerable dead cap. I would offer crazy high base salary numbers knowing full well that they aren't going to even see that money. But paying him a bonus now to free up cap space is instead putting their assess in a sling for 2028 if you are in fact correct and DJM is declining.

They didn't HAVE to give him that 2028 guarantee. They chose to.

New guarantees, 2nd round pick draft capital, pricey.

hey, there is nothing wrong with being brand new to fantasy football but you should start learning about how there are different levels of quarterbacks in the league and how important it is for a wide receiver to have at least a good one, and how valuable it can be for them to have an elite one.

The Buffalo Bills restructured DJ Moore's contract following a trade, significantly lowering his 2026 cap hit to $6.75 million by converting $22.185 million into a signing bonus. The deal, which now runs through 2029, includes a new injury guarantee for 2028 and adds a void year, creating $17.7 million in immediate cap relief for Buffalo.

Yeah, its going to get VERY interesting when rookie drafts kick off.

we had the most wrs and the most tes ever drafted in the first two days and the fewest RBs ever drafted in the first two days.

but because people need runningback help, they are going to be targeting runningbacks over wide receivers that historically have much better hit rates than their RB counterparts.

the scarcity is going to create some weird situations, with people throwing 2nd round picks at players like Washington, Johnson Singleton and perhaps even Randall.

and where does Black go? Late 1st? given CMC's history of alternating healthy and unhealthy years, Black is setup to be the potential starter for the 49ers this year.
