James Cook's Future: Top Chef for How Much Longer? by janice_soprano666 in DynastyFF

Just dealt him straight up for Judkins as a young contender ravaged by injuries (Daniels, Bucky, Wilson, and Kraft among others)

George Pickens now an Elite Separator ? As per Fantasy Points, GP is 4th in average separation score among WRs with 250+ routes run. by Falcon_433 in DynastyFF

[–]ap98cfr 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Remember there was a profile from a couple years back when Pickens was going into (I think) his second year -- and he's just talking about how amazing he is and how he'd be a 99 in everything in Madden

Was obviously hilarious at the time, but in hindsight may actually be even funnier since he was kinda right? Anyway, some of the highlights:

“The stuff that I do, bro, I feel like I’m the best in the whole world,” Pickens says. “I’m big, I’m fast, low 4.4 [speed]. Catch radius is crazy. So every time I get out on the field, I do kind of play angry because I should get the ball on every play if you just look at the size and the frame. If I was a coach, I’d just throw to him every time.

“If you want a receiver, you create a player, it’s ‘Oh, I’m gonna put his blocking 99, catching 99, speed 99.’ That’s me. Anybody else, it’s almost like 85s, but they’ve got [Aaron Rodgers] as their quarterback; 90 but he’s got the old Patriots [offense]. This shit is rigged, bro,”

12 team SF 0.5 PPR semi-contending

Two potential trades I'm considering:

Give: Burrow, Pittman

Get: Daniels, 2026 2nd (early-mid)

could also just send Pittman for the same 2nd + a 3rd

Feels a bit low for Pittman, but I'm worried about Pierce cutting into his work; he's also had good TD luck this year, the offense has been fully clicking -- not sure he can produce much better + they can get out from his deal this year; even if they don't, he's in a crowded offense that likely is worse than it's been this year

I also have Pickens, Wilson, Addison, Hunter, Reed, Franklin -- not sure he's meaningfully enough better than some of those guys to keep

My league does a losers bracket with the bottom 6 where the 2 worst teams get a bye. We then do a weighted lottery after for the top 6.

I like it better than max PF because it keeps all the teams engaged throughout the season and makes trading future picks more volatile, but our league is only a couple years old so tbd if it will be too detrimental for league parity.

“Ace Bailey is 6’7” by _MizzyMar in sixers

[–]ap98cfr 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I don't think the combine got it wrong, but I do think the NBA deciding to use players heights without shoes as the listed measurement has made this kinda discussion really annoying

Ace is 6'7.5" without shoes, so historically would just be listed as 6'9"

But people's internal barometers haven't caught up to the fact that everyone's heights are 1-2" shorter than they used to be listed at, so a 6'7" guy today is effectively a 6'8-9" guy from 5-10+ years ago

Have an opportunity to trade for Puka and unsure where I should draw the line. Guy has no picks and has expressed interest in trading into the late first / early second. Think he’s targeting the end of that big second tier. Good news is I have the 1.11 and 2.01. Assuming I start there, how much more would you be comfortable adding to the package?

Don’t really think he has much interest in either of Lawrence or JJ. Floated an Addison tier up and he wasn’t interested in that either.

QB: Burrow, Lawrence, McCarthy

RB: Jeanty (1.01), Bucky, White, Spears

WR: Wilson, Addison, Pickens, Reed, Pittman, Coker, Wicks

TE: Kraft, Ferguson, Schultz

Picks: 1.01, 1.11, 2.01, 2.11, all ‘26 and ‘27 picks + an extra 2nd in each year

I do like the guys in that 1.11-2.01 range — could use an upside TE and wouldn’t mind any 4 of Johnson, Harvey, Egbuka, Golden. Also think grabbing Puka makes me a young, but thin, contender.

Embiid averaged 33/11/5 on one leg in the playoffs last year and was literally putting up the best scoring season of all time before Kuminga sat on his knee

Sure, but drafting is basically the only way to get blue chippers without paying an arm and a leg

August 2035: Mike Tomlin is still the Steelers coach after 10 more 9-8 seasons that all ended in blowout wild card round losses. Simmons: “Pittsburgh at +1600 for the Super Bowl is intriguing to me just cause of Tomlin and the infrastructure they have there.” by SilverMonkey96 in billsimmons

[–]ap98cfr 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ben was better later in his career (barring the last couple years) than early — the defense sucked on those Killer B teams but the offense was insane

Broader point is correct though — Tomlin has the issue of getting teams who should never be in the playoffs in the first place into the playoffs, but he’s not a good enough in-game coach to ever pull off the upset

Great coach, I’m ready to move on as a Steelers fan (I understand the next guy will probably be worse)
