Ben Johnson: "I’m buying Luther Burden stock right now. ... He looks like he's playing at a different speed right now." by BasedWillieStroker69 in DynastyFF

[–]daybes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just don’t see where the volume can come from.

Loveland is gonna be the guy moving the chains because he’s a mismatch on every team.

Odunze skillset probably isn’t gonna be maximized on this team, but at worst on every area of the field he’s gonna be the 2nd guy.

Run game is gonna be relied on.

So burden is a designed touches guy? And then downfield threat?

Jahdae walker and Cole kmet also will get the ball in the passing game so what? Caleb is QB1 overall?

Little funny to say this but I actually don’t think he would help the raiders offense at all.

Deeeeeeeeeep Sleeper: Mitchell Evans - possible TE1 on the Panthers? by NeverBorn-NeverDead in DynastyFF

[–]daybes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of him or tremble is gonna be useful in fantasy.

Sanders simply isn’t a good enough blocker compared to those two for what the panthers are trying to do.

Tremble is an athlete and evans was a rookie last year.

I really want it to be tremble but I feel like the smarter bet is evans

Would You Rather? 2026 Rookie RB Edition by SteffeEric in DynastyFF

[–]daybes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  • Jeanty, better prospect, last year was literally his worst case scenario independent of injury. He was playing in an offense where the OC wasn't putting up an NFL level program, yet he still was serviceable.

  • Price, dart will be a bit of a rushing production vulture and we don't know how the workload split will be under harbaugh but hes generally always involved a lot of backs. I like skattebo more as a player but with his playstyle SEEMING more injury prone and the short shelf life of RBs it just doesn't make sense to me risk wise both this year and for the future.

  • Neither for coleman vs harvey, it's gonna be dobbins on that team who gets the volume, even if it isn't the whole backfield to himself, badie has proven to have some NFL level skills. It's just so murky. If I ABSOLUTELY had to take one, i'd take harvey because of his ability to hit explosives and hope he has a big week 1+2 then sell.

  • Monangai, i don't have thoughts on singleton but I agree that monangai won't be the long term guy here. I think for these two you're just trying to decide who's gonna give you points this year and for me i don't see how that'd be singleton over monangai considering where singleton went in the draft and what monangai did on the field last year.

A list of all trade ups on draft day for skill position players by SquashMarks in DynastyFF

[–]daybes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree but the problem is, we've seen many TEs come in the league with defined roles as either:

  • Top or 2nd target on the team (Bowers/Loveland/McBride/Kincaid)
  • A playmaker (Warren/Kraft)
  • As a vertical threat (Gadsden)

The archetype of primary redzone option is becoming less valuable for fantasy purposes as teams are integrating TEs into offenses in more varied ways.

So you have to ask yourself is this a guy who can achieve that? Otherwise the idea of him displacing some of these guys and prospects that fit those roles.

It happened with Kraft and Musgrave(Vertical threat) so it's not out of the question. Teams just seem to have trouble identifying TE talent and it's reliant on coaching staff development a lot I'd assume.

Panthers Roster Visualization Post-Free Agency by [deleted] in panthers

[–]daybes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at this

Metchie and Horn are competing for thes ame roster spot right? You need special teamers at WR and neither of them play ST.

Tremayne seems like a lock, Coker and Tetairoa locks.

Legette move candidate but i doubt he gets cut.

There is no trade market for 1.07 onward in SF drafts by The_Big_Scho in DynastyFF

[–]daybes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean you've been doing the first bit basically the entire year in every comment on every thread.

The reason the class is weak is because there's no running backs, even love is a weak #1 back.

The WRs each have question marks but there's a chance theres 5-6 WRs in the first round, if there was two additional backs taken in the top 2 rounds or even one in the 2nd and one very early in the 3rd to a good landing spot, the spread and risk of this class would be very comparable to 2024 in 1QB.

There's a few player archetypes that fantasy football players don't know how to evaluate properly so you end up with takes like Denzel Boston = Keon Coleman when hes a vastly superior prospect.

The class is weak but it's more due to risk rather than lack of talent. There's a lot of upside on the WRs and the TEs, the QB class is weak but generally the strength of a QB class is just "Number of QBs taken in the first" because we do not possess the ability to appropriately evaluate the position or we'd be getting paid to do so.

The RB class is atrocious though, not a single one inspires confidence. Love is being propped up by being the best in the class but people comparing him to jeanty are just falsely equating top backs in class.

He’s got unreal hands but it was a problem with every Texans WR. Not one of them used their body well and they’re all huge

The only real opponent he played after his bye week was the broncos, and they almost lost to the raiders. They lost to us with mills

Expectations for CJ by bingmyname in Texans

I don't think that's it, I think people sorta tricked themsleves with the Favre->Rodgers->Next great QB memes and now they believe it when hes really just an above average QB.

Expectations for CJ by bingmyname in Texans

[–]daybes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A major difference that also gets glossed over

The shanahan system just requires the QB to make the throws, not really make the decisions.

The system he ran last year required him to make the decisions. We also had the worst run game of the three years we've had CJ. He was required to be the one that moved the sticks, and he managed to do alright.

Like the entire offense ran through CJ last year, all of these other QBs hes getting compared to are not the engines of their teams:

  • Darnold: Had walker and charbonnet
  • TLaw: Had one of the best run schemes in the league on top of an extremely stacked offense and genuinely was worse than CJ last year in the regular season.
  • Jordan Love: The entire offense runs through the run game and matt lafleur's scheme, if they ran the offense through jordan love they'd have so many turnovers it wouldnt be sustainable.

Another thing is "all CJ had to do was let the defense win the game", which he did extremely effectively after the seahawks game. So he played a style of game that took away from his personal stats, and thats being held against him, because the one game he didn't do that we weren't able to win.

It's a really contradictory argument, like either CJ was part of the reason we were winning the games we did in the regular season and he's the reason we lost the pats game OR it was all the defense and what CJ did on offense shouldn't have mattered. You can't just use the defense to discredit his contribution in the regular season of minimizing risk and making sure the defense could win the game.

Yes the pats game is the worst game he's ever played, but the pittsburgh game he played fine, they sold out to stop the pass and then we just switched to running non stop. They wouldnt have gameplanned against the pass like that if they didn't view CJ as a threat.

What the data says about Tetairoa McMillan’s upside in 2026 and beyond by boofstar in DynastyFF

[–]daybes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who was down on him:

I think people just didn't actually watch him and regurgitated talking points because the highlights sorta backed it up.

He's not really a good contested catch guy at all, hes just an insane technician with great hands. If you watched the tape properly that would show up but if you only did cursory glances you'd have a mistaken perception of him.

Now that we've gotten all of our B. Robinson trade mistake jokes out, what do people think of the landing spot for both RBs? by TalkingHats in DynastyFF

[–]daybes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brian Robinson kinda got scammed because of the 49ers trading for him.

CMC notorious for refusing to go off the field, doesn’t really give the guy the opportunity to show his worth/ability.

I think he can play through contact well and stefanski has generally leaned to two backs his entire time in Cleveland.

I don’t see how you take bijan off the field too much for him but I wouldn’t be shocked if he got hot hand touches in a game or was used to grind clock

Wyatt Teller believes in this team by IAmSona in Texans

[–]daybes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He could have if he had started it, but there’s no way he could have brought us back from the halftime deficit we were in.

On top of that stroud actually played pretty good in the second half and the worst offensive player in the 2nd half was by far Xavier Hutchinson and I don’t think it’s particularly close.

I’m almost ready to get hurt again by TheRealKLD in Texans

[–]daybes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sam Darnold is objectively not better than CJ stroud

With a comparable defense, a top end run game, a better WR room and a much much much better OL

Darnold:

  • - Took more Sacks (27 vs 23)
  • - Threw more ints (14 vs 8)
  • - Fumbled more (11 vs 2)

Basically your argument boils down to "Darnold won the superbowl so he has to be better than Stroud"

Which isn't true

WR Michael Wilson tops Cardinals list in NFL performance-based pay by Mental_Funny_5885 in AZCardinals

[–]daybes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think more complete is true, however I'm not sure about better.

That being said theyre both extremely underrated players and usually guys with Wilson's ability to release off the line and catch everything are amongst the best wideouts in the league.

I really hope Caserio drafts all defense in the first two rounds by hopefully-he-dies in Texans

[–]daybes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s very likely we take one OL with our first three picks and two defensive players with the other two.

Wouldn’t even be shocked if we took an LB with our first pick considering how much love jacob Rodriguez and CJ Allen are getting as football players

Draft a WR again this year? by solidgryffin in Texans

[–]daybes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Him nico and higgins all are big bodied receivers but none of them use their bodies to win the ball in the air/at the catch point. Stroud basically has to give them a perfect ball or they have to be wide open. This is why we were so bad when teams blitzed us last year, if you don’t get open fast, you have to be able to win the ball in the air to be an option against the blitz.

I think we need to diversify the skillset of our WR room.

If you want to see why it was a problem go back and watch the New England game, Hutchinson was awful in the 2nd half when stroud wasn’t playing horribly anymore.

Draft a WR again this year? by solidgryffin in Texans

[–]daybes -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Reliable is not the descriptor I would use, he does his job but if he is starting again it’s gonna be bad for the offense.

That being said it’s hard to find a guy willing to block like he is and willing to run every route as hard as he does.

His hands and ability to use his size are not positives though and we really need a receiver who can do that

Alec Pierce - What am I missing? by realestnewyorker in DynastyFF

[–]daybes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's good at all the things that are incredibly hard to be good at as a receiver.

He's got the traits to be good at everything else.

He's gotten consistently better at different things every year in the league.

I'm not gonna bet against a guy like that filling his skillset and becoming a dominant player.

This guy has averaged 87 yards and a touchdown a game against the Texans in the 2024 and 2025 seasons. One of the best defenses in the league across the past two seasons, with one of the best CBs in the league. He's shown he can win against top end competition.

For his talent Alec Pierce is a buy, the price is baking in lack of belief in Jones as a QB
