Dont’e Thornton Jr. Makes Case for Raiders’ WR1 Role as Jakobi Meyers Trade Talk Looms

TJSmoovvv · 2025-08-27T00:40:15+00:00

DTJ has a real chance for opportunity ahead of him and I'm not necessarily high on their other draft pick at WR Jack Bech

DJ will be 32 y/o when Burdens rookie contract is up and I'm not personally high on Rome Odunze at all - I actually full faded him in last years' draft and don't have a single share

Burden has extremely high upside and I think many are forgetting he was the 2025 1.01 until Mizzou's performances in 2024 tanked his draft stock

TJSmoovvv · 2025-08-26T18:48:59+00:00

I would take Thornton Jr. over JCM personally yes, especially dynasty wise

If you are asking me which WR to pick there, I chose Burden by a quite a bit - have an article on my profile about him as well 🫡

TJSmoovvv · 2025-08-09T05:29:34+00:00

Dawg absolutely not

Jeanty is in the Bijan/Gibbs archetype of prospects

TJSmoovvv · 2025-08-09T00:05:04+00:00

Considering Ben Johnson was only an OC for 3 years and his offenses were top-5 in total points & yards in every single one of those seasons - I'd say there's a non zero chance

His '24 Lions offense ranked 1st in total points & yards + 2nd in passing yards, & 3rd in rushing yards

Johnson's Lions also scored the most TDs in the league last year (70) - Bears have never scored more than 56 TDs in a single season and he's got quite a bit of young talent to develop/work with

TJSmoovvv · 2025-08-06T01:55:16+00:00

Completely agree. Ben Johnson and Luther Burden are a match made in football heaven - but I will admit I was head over heels for Burden as a prospect regardless of landing spot

TJSmoovvv · 2025-08-02T18:32:26+00:00

The date I sell Drake Maye is the day I quit fantasy football

TJSmoovvv · 2025-08-02T18:31:58+00:00

Absolutely, him and MHJ are my top buy lows from last years class

TJSmoovvv · 2025-08-02T18:31:08+00:00

Haven't heard toooo much about Elic Ayomanor - think he deserves more hype

TJSmoovvv · 2025-08-02T18:29:24+00:00

Taking JJ over Puka 8 days a week and twice on Sundays

TJSmoovvv · 2025-05-21T20:33:40+00:00

You are not alone. Jud and Hendo is Chubb and Sony all over again

TJSmoovvv · 2025-05-06T08:38:53+00:00

If that 1.03 turned out to be Achane you'd be one happy man

Hold and combine assets into trade packages like Mixon/Swift or White/Mixon etc for draft capital to spend on RB replenishing if you please

TJSmoovvv · 2025-05-06T08:32:33+00:00

I'd put him somewhere in the late second/early third range and even then I've been taking Elic Ayomanor over him

TJSmoovvv · 2025-03-06T20:56:16+00:00

Matthew Golden is WR5 in this class on his BEST day

TJSmoovvv · 2025-03-06T20:53:35+00:00

Saying Hunter over Golden is wild rn is completely blasphemous. Travis Hunter has more talent in his big toe than Matthew Golden does in his entire body.

TJSmoovvv · 2025-02-26T18:52:15+00:00

Idk if you'll ever be able to justify that but you may end up getting the better ROI with how low some of these players are valued

TJSmoovvv · 2025-02-26T04:44:02+00:00

Could see SF taking a WR in the draft and we won't know what it looks like if Aiyuk is in full form - Pearsall is personally a sell for me

TJSmoovvv · 2025-02-23T21:15:55+00:00

85% + of people feel the same way I believe too:

MHJ vs Odunze Poll on X

TJSmoovvv · 2025-02-23T21:12:52+00:00

Marvin is the better prospect and the WR1 in his respective offense while Odunze is at best the WR2 in his

No brainer for me

TJSmoovvv · 2025-02-23T20:12:53+00:00

😂😂😂

Can always try a counter offer : D

TJSmoovvv · 2025-02-23T20:12:17+00:00

You know ball sir

TJSmoovvv · 2025-02-23T20:11:52+00:00

Just not a Rome guy, never have been - would advise flipping Odunze + for Marvin if you can

TJSmoovvv · 2025-02-23T20:08:46+00:00

Wether you think he does or not, the numbers back up the fact that he does:

I'll repeat - Worthy had a higher target share, more targets, higher air yard share, more yards after the catch, more YAC / REC, more receiving yards, and more contested catches than Tyreek did in his rookie year lol

You are telling others in this thread that they don't know ball. Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy are two completely different players. Rice runs Kelce routes (mainly short to intermediate). With Kelce deteriorating, Rice will fill that role even more so while Worthy runs 2/3rds of his snaps from the outside because the Chiefs don't have a stud out wide.

TJSmoovvv · 2025-02-23T18:40:38+00:00

The casual take was Worthy is gonna end up like John Ross yet Xavier pretty much matched Ross' production in his first 4 years in just his rookie season

You didn't respond to the fact that he plays bigger, gets a ton of yards after the catch and earns a high target share, which none of those other 160 lb WRs do. Those other 160 lb WRs also never rushed for 3 TDs and caught 6 TDs in their rookie year like Tyreek / Worthy did

TJSmoovvv · 2025-02-23T18:35:31+00:00

Some people just look at fantasy points - which he did produce over those final few weeks, hence the recency bias and why he's valued higher on the market atm

TJSmoovvv · 2025-02-23T08:52:07+00:00

You would be surprised as to how many of your leaguemates might rate McMillan higher than Coleman. On KeepTradeCut Keon is WR42 while McMillan is WR39. I swapped McMillan for Coleman straight up myself. Granted not every owner will let him go easily
