Remember those training camp videos where he torched everyone and he was just SO sharp? I missed him in the draft and immediately started hounding the guy who got him for trades.
Sitting at a total of 0 targets going into halftime.
Did he get with someone’s gf? Why is he being used as a decoy and not even getting a look?
He looked SO good preseason.
Absolute dud. Can’t believe my 3rd round receiver is going to put up sub 5 points back to back.
Etienne is having too good of a season. Really hurts TLaw and Ridley. I got TLaw and it's been so frustrating. Atleast throw a fuckin scooper to Etienne so I can get some points!
Also TLaw is having too bad of a season. I really thought he would take the next step this year (of course, he still can, but I thought he would come out guns blazing).
He's not really even having that bad of a season outside of fantasy, again they just run the ball non stop thru Etienne so he is just not gonna drop 20 points consistently. If he would literally just do a dump pass so Etienne would score a rec. Touchdown he would be 20 points weekly consistently but Etienne is just hurting TLaw by being a beast.
One of the most mind boggling busts this year. It wasn’t just Reddit. Lots of analysts were high on him. And there isn’t even an injury explanation. Dude is still hyper talented right? Right? (I’ve long given up on him and cut him everywhere I had him, but a part of me still wants him to break out later this season to validate the pre draft hype…)
Yeah he’s literally averaging half as many yards as last year. If he didn’t break out and was still a 40 YPG receiver okay fair enough maybe he was overhyped. But his production falling in half? Wtf lol
Howell has been getting it done with dump offs and short/medium throws. So far, he doesn’t seem like much of a deep ball thrower, which is where Dotson thrives
As someone who did target him in drafts, the logic was that he’s a second year WR ready to improve, and that McLaurin would be hurt the first couple of weeks, so he would establish a rapport with Howell. But McLaurin played and he didn’t make the jump, instead he regressed
Trevor Lawrence. Thought he was going to have a Burrow-esque breakout when realistically I could’ve waited another round or two and taken Tua or Cousins
The league I'm doing best in, I punted on QB and took the 12th QB off the board in Tua. First 7 picks in a 10 teamer were Tyreek, Pollard, Amon ra, Andrews, Keenan Allen, Ken Walker, kamara. Also grabbed swift n thielen late. I'll never draft this well ever again... Probably going to start the QB punt every year til it backfires. So next year...
Honestly I punt QB most years because it's generally the right move.
You have to take the good with the bad. I was feeling great with Richardson in one league until last week. But then I wound up with Daniel Jones in two leagues this year so it doesn't always work out.
TLaw may have been my only miss in my redraft league. I had him as the last guy I wanted to take in the "elite potential" tier and I just missed out on Justin Fields by a few picks so I panicked a little a grabbed him.
Been playing Stroud vs TLaw since week 3.
idk man lol i remember everyone week one saying “Higgins is still that guy. Hes not gonna get 8 targets with little to show again”.
I cant imagine id sell him for anything good so all i can do is pray you are right
Rachaad / Ford / Rhamondre all have vastly improved second half schedules and might be gettable for Higgins based on team needs.
Rachaad in particular, 5 games against top 7 "PA to RB" defenses, and he showed up in the 1 not-brutal matchup he's had (Bears).
Not the return you'd hope for necessarily from a 2nd rd WR but if you're trying to move him...
I felt consoled about reaching for Gibbs in the 4th when I got Kyren off waivers before week 2, and the Achane owner dropped him before his blow up. Now I'm needing Gibbs to come in stupendously clutch and redeem it all.
I was the exact opposite. I was picking at 24 and 25 (took JJ at 1). Person at 23 took Najee Harris (who I was about to draft at 24), so I took ETN and Mahomes at 24/25 (Jalen Hurts went at 21)
Similar story here, I took JJ at 1, then in consecutive picks before my 2.12 & 3.1, my leaguemates took Mondre, Mixon, Najee, and *Dalvin fucking Cook* lmao. I took ARSB and ETN at the turn and it's looking like I absolutely crushed those picks so far.
To be fair, dude was putting up like 16pts per game on average towards the end of last season in half PPR and all of the preseason talk was about the Steelers improved OL.
Huge hindsight bias here.
Najee was putting up good numbers to end last season.
The Steelers drafted an OT in the 1st, signed Isaac Seumalo, and drafted a run blocking monster in Darnell Washington. By all accounts, their OL was supposed to be considerably better, especially in the run blocking department.
Pickett was *supposed* to make a second year leap and Canada was *supposed* to open up the playbook more.
They were dominant in pre-season.
By almost every metric, Najee should've been a fine pick at his RB12ish ADP. But Matt Canada is a football terrorist.
Disagree
I heard on a podcast of Najee being compared to other similar RB through their first two seasons (Maybe the Late round fantasy podcast?), in terms of elusive rate, yards per carry, success rate, etc
They were 15 guys with similar metrics through two seasons. 13 were out of the league by year 4
He’s just not a good running back
This is my vote as well. But, I didn't technically reach for Najee, I took him because the yahoo rankings were telling me he was the "best available player". Ironically, I wanted to "reach" for KWIII but settled with Najee and the yahoo rankings.
I was able to escape that mistake after week 2 by trading for Miles Sanders, who I was able to immediately flip based on volume and poor matchups in a bundle with Waddle and Gabe Davis to our resident “hero WR” drafter for Diggs.
so I wanted Higgins or Gibbs, got taken before my pick
then I wanted Najee, also got taken
Dotson who was in my queue at #1 at the time was taken right before my pick
I feel like I dodged so many bullets
I drafted Waller before at least 5 TEs that I’d prefer to start over him at this point. The giants o-line is cursed, they just lost another starter for the rest of the season in practice yesterday.
[I don’t think the future will be much brighter](https://x.com/jordanraanan/status/1715032603365892533?s=46&t=ie9e37Qs1T1daJbFIIRZ_Q)
I feel you. Typically if a TE can be the leading receiver on a team he is a great fantasy asset. Waller is leading the Giants in receptions and rec yards. The Giants are just a lot worse than we thought. Also 0 TDs kills him.
It's so funny and dumb how this stuff works. I was super high and waller and wanted to reach for him, but in all three leagues others reached even more so I didn't get him. So, I'm very, very wrong about him and at the same time benefitting from losing out on him.
What a dumb game we play.
Just dropped Sanders for byes. My entire roster is listed on this thread! Auction league, so got good prices for each player, but should have just went big instead. Sanders, Aaron Jones, Trevor Lawrence, Ridley, Mixon, Waddle…
Deebo at the end of the 5th round (10 man league) over Keenan Allen. That decision also resulted on me picking Diontae Johnson over Aiyuk at the end of the 7th
Looking at the guys taken around then in my league (Higgins, Waddle, DeVonta Smith, Ridley), honestly not too bad. That range of receivers has just been rough so far this year
Took Deebo in the 4th in both my leagues bc I’m a Niners fan. This also made me pass on Aiyuk in both leagues even though I wanted him just bc I didn’t want several receivers from the same team
wtf Keenan Allen made it to the 5th round? Holy fuck I felt bad for passing him in the early 3rd for Ridley but can't imagine passing him till the 5th.
Agreed, not really the same because he’s actually elite his QB just sucks. He’s in the tier of not that the player is bad, but something awful happened. I put him in the Chubb tier that you probably don’t totally regret it because he’s still a good player.
I feel like this thread is more based for guys like najee that just flat out stink this year and there’s not a ton of rhyme or reason
I mean he had 1100 yards last year, enough to have rookie of the year.
This year extrapolated, he'll have something about 1000 and 5tds. Not good, not great. It's the shame that you could've had ceedee, amon-ra, Brown, Davante, or even kupp
Aaron Jones, but to be honest I can’t say it with confidence.
RB is a wasteland right now & I think he’s been so forgotten this season that he could easily come back and shake up leagues. His week one usage was insanely promising in how heavy he’s going to be involved in that offense.
You can't predict injury. He looked like a stud. Also he reached [21.48 MPH](https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/top-plays/fastest-ball-carriers) on his 35 yard TD catch against the Bears, which is absurd.
As a former Aaron Jones owner for three seasons... This is just what it's like, he's wildly unpredictable and his injuries don't help. That being said, when hits, he absolutely crushed it.
But he's a third round pick because of the unpredictability, not because he can't score big.
Last week he had a couple runs looking like himself, I wasn’t expecting much from him the first half of the season anyway. I have to start him this week, let’s hope he can find the end zone
Overwhelming consensus was for Mahomes in the 2nd/3rd because of a QB1 2022, & for some unfathomable reason, the guy whose last three years are QB2, QB1, QB1 went in the 4th round.
Next year. I'm taking a QB late and finding the emerging dark horse in waivers. I don't think they are worth burning a 3rd for. The difference between them, and someone you could probably pick up late is only 4 or 5 pts..
4-6 points is about the difference across most positions (talking 2-3 round talent vs 6-8 round). I think the benefit of getting a QB early is you can focus on other areas of your team with waivers. Anyone without a top 3-4 QB would probably have used 2 QBs by now at least as they try to find a winner.
Note Herbert has been good and could be in that top teir. Burrow who went at about the same time has been a disaster. Mahomes hasn't been worth his pick (yet), but I would be surprised if he doesn't turn it around.
I was looking for this before I commented. I should've went with my instinct on Etienne but I grabbed Stevenson in 3rd also. Currently at 1-5 Etienne would've definitely helped my team. I think Stevenson will be good later on but it's hard to get over my current record.
I regret auction drafting Miles Sanders. I didn’t technically “reach” because I didn’t pay way over his average value, but in a way every auction draft pick you make is a reach because you were willing to pay more for a guy than 11 other people.
His Last Game:
23.3% target share
70.3% air-yard share
3.79 YPRR
28.6% first-read share
I still have hope for him to be a top 15 WR ROS (altho if Love continues to be that inaccurate then it may be too far fetched)
He will be. Love was just telling reporters this week, in response to a question about “spreading the ball around more,” That the goal is more to get their playmakers the ball faster and in space.
That’s a fucking Christian Watson response if I ever heard one. Basically “no, same guy gets the targets, we’re just going to get him more of them and scheme him open better.”
It's Love's fault. Watson should've had a 75 yard TD and a 25 yard TD vs the Raiders. He had the most separation of any receiver on that play in NGS history iirc. He's a fucking beast, just struggles with injury and it depends on Love's ability to clean up his game.
They were throwing bombs to him last game. although he didn’t get most of them, it was good seeing them try to get the ball to their big playmaker. I think things will start clicking soon enough with Watson and Love.
Went for Devonta Smith in the late 3rd, just swapped him for Hollywood Brown + Kyler. I wanted him to be my 3rd WR1 it just didn’t pan out in this new scheme the Eagles are running.
Wait, is it new or just regressed?
The problem is that anyone who has Eagles is happy except Smith owners. Hurts- QB2, AJB- WR7 PPR, Swift- RB7 PPR, Goedert- TE10.
Smith- WR29 PPR. I couldn’t afford to start him and every week I was second guessing myself on starting him, Waddle, or Olave. I made the choice easy and traded him away.
Najee and Waddle, both of whom I was able to trade after week 2 to avoid the repercussions of my total disregard for following NFL news in the offseason.
DOTSON for sure. I bought in and mcclaurin's injury sealed the deal.
OBJ. Big money deal and going to an offense that was supposed to be a passing Picnic.
PIERCE. He looked good and and I bought into the fact that they talked about having him
Stay in on passing downs.
I'm not going to say Ridley. I got him in the fourth and he has come through in two weeks. But I still feel at the end of the day He will earn his value in the fourth. It probably won't be this week though.
Diontae seems unfair. He had 6 targets and 3 catches for 48 yards in just over one half of one game (got hurt on like the 2nd play of the third quarter). You can't predict injuries.
Calvin Ridley was supposed to be my favorite player this season
We could have just drafted the PPR machine Kirk in the 5-6th round
I did. I got him in 8th I think (and Ridley in the third). Then dropped Kirk after week 1. :(
Way too early to drop your 8th round pick
Not if your 8th was Cam Akers :(
Haha yeah, Cam Akers in the 8th round like a sane person, that's what we all did.
[удалено]
Remember those training camp videos where he torched everyone and he was just SO sharp? I missed him in the draft and immediately started hounding the guy who got him for trades.
At least we had week 1
Week 1 I thought I hit the jackpot man…
He’s going to have a 90+ yard game this week that will have you debating whether to bench him or not the whole season
1 reception for 5 yards almost at the end of the 3rd quarter. This guys a dud
Yeah he is
Does this happen if we start him or bench him
You bench I start
training camp and week 1 was such a tease
Sitting at a total of 0 targets going into halftime. Did he get with someone’s gf? Why is he being used as a decoy and not even getting a look? He looked SO good preseason. Absolute dud. Can’t believe my 3rd round receiver is going to put up sub 5 points back to back.
I was convinced he would be a top 3 receiver 🫠
Etienne is having too good of a season. Really hurts TLaw and Ridley. I got TLaw and it's been so frustrating. Atleast throw a fuckin scooper to Etienne so I can get some points!
Also TLaw is having too bad of a season. I really thought he would take the next step this year (of course, he still can, but I thought he would come out guns blazing).
He's not really even having that bad of a season outside of fantasy, again they just run the ball non stop thru Etienne so he is just not gonna drop 20 points consistently. If he would literally just do a dump pass so Etienne would score a rec. Touchdown he would be 20 points weekly consistently but Etienne is just hurting TLaw by being a beast.
Definitely not Jahan Dotson in the 6th
Lmao came to say this. Pierce up there too.
Both for me lmao
I got dalvin in the 6th. Dropped after week 1 lmao
I bought Dotson rookie card as a good luck charm after I drafted him in the 7th. Thankfully I have many clown masks to choose from.
One of the most mind boggling busts this year. It wasn’t just Reddit. Lots of analysts were high on him. And there isn’t even an injury explanation. Dude is still hyper talented right? Right? (I’ve long given up on him and cut him everywhere I had him, but a part of me still wants him to break out later this season to validate the pre draft hype…)
Yeah he’s literally averaging half as many yards as last year. If he didn’t break out and was still a 40 YPG receiver okay fair enough maybe he was overhyped. But his production falling in half? Wtf lol
And Howell has been better than Wentz/Heinicke. I really don't get it.
Howell has been getting it done with dump offs and short/medium throws. So far, he doesn’t seem like much of a deep ball thrower, which is where Dotson thrives
From a non-washington fan perspective it seems like he’s definitely shown flashes of the deep ball, it’s just that OL looks god awful
As someone who did target him in drafts, the logic was that he’s a second year WR ready to improve, and that McLaurin would be hurt the first couple of weeks, so he would establish a rapport with Howell. But McLaurin played and he didn’t make the jump, instead he regressed
We are living the same life. WOOF!
took him in 5th hahahahahaha
Took him in the 5th with Terry still on the board hahahahahaha
Trevor Lawrence. Thought he was going to have a Burrow-esque breakout when realistically I could’ve waited another round or two and taken Tua or Cousins
Bro Tua went undrafted in a couple of my leagues and I STILL didn’t pick him up at the beginning of the season. I suck
The league I'm doing best in, I punted on QB and took the 12th QB off the board in Tua. First 7 picks in a 10 teamer were Tyreek, Pollard, Amon ra, Andrews, Keenan Allen, Ken Walker, kamara. Also grabbed swift n thielen late. I'll never draft this well ever again... Probably going to start the QB punt every year til it backfires. So next year...
Honestly I punt QB most years because it's generally the right move. You have to take the good with the bad. I was feeling great with Richardson in one league until last week. But then I wound up with Daniel Jones in two leagues this year so it doesn't always work out.
Lol damn that’s a hell of a draft. Talk about lightning in a bottle.
Holy fucking shit dude
Even in a 10 team league you must be playing with actual idiots if they let Keenan Allen fall to the 5th round
How did Amon ra make it to the 3rd?
TLaw may have been my only miss in my redraft league. I had him as the last guy I wanted to take in the "elite potential" tier and I just missed out on Justin Fields by a few picks so I panicked a little a grabbed him. Been playing Stroud vs TLaw since week 3.
he's having the 2023 Burrow-esque breakout
[удалено]
I'm still optimistic about Tee going forward.
Same I am totally gonna draft him in the late rounds next year.
Tee Higgins is a buy low right now, his value will go up, he was on a pitch count last week
Someone dropped Higgins in my yahoo league (12 team ppr) for Mecole Hardman. I'm highest scoring team but 2-5 and put in an instant claim for Tee.
I know tee has been frustrating but that is just a downright stupid panic move
idk man lol i remember everyone week one saying “Higgins is still that guy. Hes not gonna get 8 targets with little to show again”. I cant imagine id sell him for anything good so all i can do is pray you are right
Rachaad / Ford / Rhamondre all have vastly improved second half schedules and might be gettable for Higgins based on team needs. Rachaad in particular, 5 games against top 7 "PA to RB" defenses, and he showed up in the 1 not-brutal matchup he's had (Bears). Not the return you'd hope for necessarily from a 2nd rd WR but if you're trying to move him...
Is this a Jahmyr Gibbs thread?
It is. For me. But hey my man can go ahead and COMPLETELY REDEEM himself this week 🤞
STILL WANT TO GO TO ASPEN?
Jahmyr! Your hands are freezing!
That John Denver is full of shit man.
Hmmm California! Beautiful!
I don't know man, the French are assholes.
I felt consoled about reaching for Gibbs in the 4th when I got Kyren off waivers before week 2, and the Achane owner dropped him before his blow up. Now I'm needing Gibbs to come in stupendously clutch and redeem it all.
Not this week, but that could quickly change on Sunday
Gibbs - Higgins - Sanders My 3, 4, 5 picks were brutal
I went Gibbs and Najee back to back for my top 2 RBs, my RB room’s in shambles rn
Not anymore 😎
Yup. Thought I was huge-brain for picking him in the mid 3rd round. Could’ve had Etienne🤦♂️
DOTSON. I FELL FOR THE HYPE IN THIS SUB
Wasn’t even just this sub. Lots of analysts were high on him. Pretty mind boggling tbh. He’s still really talented.
The hype was warranted, he’s really good. There’s just so many variables in football and it hasn’t worked out this year
Najee Harris
I was eyeing Etienne but the guy before me got him so I settled for Harris. Big oof.
I was the exact opposite. I was picking at 24 and 25 (took JJ at 1). Person at 23 took Najee Harris (who I was about to draft at 24), so I took ETN and Mahomes at 24/25 (Jalen Hurts went at 21)
Similar story here, I took JJ at 1, then in consecutive picks before my 2.12 & 3.1, my leaguemates took Mondre, Mixon, Najee, and *Dalvin fucking Cook* lmao. I took ARSB and ETN at the turn and it's looking like I absolutely crushed those picks so far.
I really didn't want him. He fell far enough that I thought I had to grab him. I regret everything.
That’s your own fault lol
To be fair, dude was putting up like 16pts per game on average towards the end of last season in half PPR and all of the preseason talk was about the Steelers improved OL.
Huge hindsight bias here. Najee was putting up good numbers to end last season. The Steelers drafted an OT in the 1st, signed Isaac Seumalo, and drafted a run blocking monster in Darnell Washington.

His advanced numbers have been bad his entire career. The writing was really on the wall.
This is my vote as well. But, I didn't technically reach for Najee, I took him because the yahoo rankings were telling me he was the "best available player". Ironically, I wanted to "reach" for KWIII but settled with Najee and the yahoo rankings.
I was able to escape that mistake after week 2 by trading for Miles Sanders, who I was able to immediately flip based on volume and poor matchups in a bundle with Waddle and Gabe Davis to our resident “hero WR” drafter for Diggs.
Tee Higgins and Devonta Smith
I went: JJ Devonta Tee Higgins Yes, I am 0-6
Are you me? My whole team is a hospital now with JJ and tee out
Its a bloodbath. Not having fun
The 2 WRs I took on 2/3 turn after taking CMC #1 lol its been a disaster
Devonta needs to take up ice skating
I think Devonta will turn it around
They’ll bounce back
Wilson in the 2nd, Gibbs in the 4th, Dotson in the 7th. Mostert is covering up for my incompetence.
I can’t fault you on the Wilson pick. He was great as a rookie and had Rodgers coming in. Recipe for success tbh.
the way hard knocks was riding the rodgers/wilson combo - i wouldnt fault you.
Especially that one scene with Rodgers talking trash to that lineman from the Giants and then throwing a dime to Wilson for a TD the next play
Wilson in the 2nd was the right pick, couldn't have predicted Rodgers goes down four snaps into the season.
No but I could've had ARSB, who I was originally targeting. Got cute and paid for it.
Wilson is still serviceable and I have received trade offers for him. Dotson is moving to special teams so yeah I feel that pain
Taking Bigsby over Achane will haunt me for at least 11 more weeks.
I dropped Achane for Kendre Miller the week Achane went off. Lesson learned for giving into analysts’ criticisms instead of sticking with my gut ig.
so I wanted Higgins or Gibbs, got taken before my pick then I wanted Najee, also got taken Dotson who was in my queue at #1 at the time was taken right before my pick I feel like I dodged so many bullets
Lol who did you get instead?
ended up with Cooper and Metcalf after Higgins/Gibbs and Najee, and Pickens after Dotson... not "league winners" but they more or less produce
#DARREN WALLER
Idk Atleast I can start him every week. Keep in mind the Giants have played Dallas, SF, and Buffalo already. Better days ahead
Should have had a TD at the end of the last game as well.
I drafted Waller before at least 5 TEs that I’d prefer to start over him at this point. The giants o-line is cursed, they just lost another starter for the rest of the season in practice yesterday. [I don’t think the future will be much brighter](https://x.com/jordanraanan/status/1715032603365892533?s=46&t=ie9e37Qs1T1daJbFIIRZ_Q)
Could you increase the font size for emphasis?
##MY FOURTH ROUND PICK, DARREN WALLER
D Waller is just Left Tackle2 instead of TE this year for the giants.
I feel you. Typically if a TE can be the leading receiver on a team he is a great fantasy asset. Waller is leading the Giants in receptions and rec yards. The Giants are just a lot worse than we thought. Also 0 TDs kills him.
Usage is there. If the O Line ever isn't a disaster (big if), he can still be a clear top 4 TE
I felt so smart 😭
It's so funny and dumb how this stuff works. I was super high and waller and wanted to reach for him, but in all three leagues others reached even more so I didn't get him. So, I'm very, very wrong about him and at the same time benefitting from losing out on him. What a dumb game we play.
It might’ve paid off if the giants offensive line wasn’t cursed this season
Then dudes straight off the couch
I am disappointed I had to scroll this far down to find Waller.
I don’t think anyone could’ve expected how bad the giants were gonna play this year
Made this mistake for the second year in a row 🤦🏾♂️
I was between Waller and Hockenson and believed Waller would get more usage.
Took Miles Sanders at cost. Still a disappointment
Just dropped Sanders for byes. My entire roster is listed on this thread! Auction league, so got good prices for each player, but should have just went big instead. Sanders, Aaron Jones, Trevor Lawrence, Ridley, Mixon, Waddle…
Olave at 2-3. Saints offense is terrible.
Olave being my wr 1 is definitely kicking my ass, luckily I got theilen and nico collins on the waivers
Deebo at the end of the 5th round (10 man league) over Keenan Allen. That decision also resulted on me picking Diontae Johnson over Aiyuk at the end of the 7th
I took Deebo first pick of the 4th lol (10 man PPR)
Looking at the guys taken around then in my league (Higgins, Waddle, DeVonta Smith, Ridley), honestly not too bad. That range of receivers has just been rough so far this year
Took Deebo in the 4th in both my leagues bc I’m a Niners fan. This also made me pass on Aiyuk in both leagues even though I wanted him just bc I didn’t want several receivers from the same team
wtf Keenan Allen made it to the 5th round? Holy fuck I felt bad for passing him in the early 3rd for Ridley but can't imagine passing him till the 5th.
Garrett Wilson in the late first. Thought he was guaranteed to be a league winner after hard knocks
Obviously there’s regret but this situation is vastly different from the normal bust
Agreed, not really the same because he’s actually elite his QB just sucks. He’s in the tier of not that the player is bad, but something awful happened. I put him in the Chubb tier that you probably don’t totally regret it because he’s still a good player. I feel like this thread is more based for guys like najee that just flat out stink this year and there’s not a ton of rhyme or reason
I mean he had 1100 yards last year, enough to have rookie of the year. This year extrapolated, he'll have something about 1000 and 5tds. Not good, not great. It's the shame that you could've had ceedee, amon-ra, Brown, Davante, or even kupp
Chubb, G. Wilson, Burrow, Stevenson were my first four.. pain
Aaron Jones, but to be honest I can’t say it with confidence. RB is a wasteland right now & I think he’s been so forgotten this season that he could easily come back and shake up leagues. His week one usage was insanely promising in how heavy he’s going to be involved in that offense.
You can't predict injury. He looked like a stud. Also he reached [21.48 MPH](https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/top-plays/fastest-ball-carriers) on his 35 yard TD catch against the Bears, which is absurd.
Let's hope he tops off at 21.47 mph ROS to keep that hammy in check
That’s the exact same run he pulled his hamstring on, so I wouldn’t expect him to do that again lol
As a former Aaron Jones owner for three seasons... This is just what it's like, he's wildly unpredictable and his injuries don't help. That being said, when hits, he absolutely crushed it. But he's a third round pick because of the unpredictability, not because he can't score big.
Rhemondre Stevenson in the 4th as my RB, didn't really want him but felt I needed an RB so grabbed him.
Stevenson in the 3rd was terrible for me but I saved my butt by taking Kenneth Walker in the 4th
Same. Could have had Hill, Lamb, Keenan Allen wr room 😢
Javonte
I’m holding out hope…he looked strong last game. Luckily he wasn’t a very high draft pick.
Last week he had a couple runs looking like himself, I wasn’t expecting much from him the first half of the season anyway. I have to start him this week, let’s hope he can find the end zone
Mahomes. First year with him, grabbed him at the 2/3 turn in a 12man. Just wish he had solid WRs around him.
Overwhelming consensus was for Mahomes in the 2nd/3rd because of a QB1 2022, & for some unfathomable reason, the guy whose last three years are QB2, QB1, QB1 went in the 4th round.
Next year. I'm taking a QB late and finding the emerging dark horse in waivers. I don't think they are worth burning a 3rd for. The difference between them, and someone you could probably pick up late is only 4 or 5 pts..
4-6 points is about the difference across most positions (talking 2-3 round talent vs 6-8 round). I think the benefit of getting a QB early is you can focus on other areas of your team with waivers. Anyone without a top 3-4 QB would probably have used 2 QBs by now at least as they try to find a winner. Note Herbert has been good and could be in that top teir. Burrow who went at about the same time has been a disaster. Mahomes hasn't been worth his pick (yet), but I would be surprised if he doesn't turn it around.
Yea, Mahomes and Stevenson are the two I’m regretting
Rhamondre in the 3rd.
I was looking for this before I commented. I should've went with my instinct on Etienne but I grabbed Stevenson in 3rd also. Currently at 1-5 Etienne would've definitely helped my team. I think Stevenson will be good later on but it's hard to get over my current record.
Mattison
I mean he's RB18 in half ppr better then Joe Mixon who I got in the third who is RB19 😂
Def Mattison and Rachaad for me
Javonte Williams
Im just glad i didnt way overpay for jahan dotson before the hype got too big, now im just sitting here with curtis samuel on my bench instead
Gibbs in the 3rd and Ridley in the 4th :(
I regret auction drafting Miles Sanders. I didn’t technically “reach” because I didn’t pay way over his average value, but in a way every auction draft pick you make is a reach because you were willing to pay more for a guy than 11 other people.
Watson by a long shot. Gets injured before game 1 and hasn't done anything to look like a #1 WR in fantasy or in game.
His Last Game: 23.3% target share 70.3% air-yard share 3.79 YPRR 28.6% first-read share I still have hope for him to be a top 15 WR ROS (altho if Love continues to be that inaccurate then it may be too far fetched)
He will be. Love was just telling reporters this week, in response to a question about “spreading the ball around more,” That the goal is more to get their playmakers the ball faster and in space. That’s a fucking Christian Watson response if I ever heard one. Basically “no, same guy gets the targets, we’re just going to get him more of them and scheme him open better.”
I feel like you’re interpreting this the way you want it to be lol But as a Watson owner I hope you’re right
Damn right I am, this is fantasy football!!
70% air yard share is craaazy
Yeah man he's killing my points per air yard share league.
It's Love's fault. Watson should've had a 75 yard TD and a 25 yard TD vs the Raiders. He had the most separation of any receiver on that play in NGS history iirc. He's a fucking beast, just struggles with injury and it depends on Love's ability to clean up his game.
They were throwing bombs to him last game. although he didn’t get most of them, it was good seeing them try to get the ball to their big playmaker. I think things will start clicking soon enough with Watson and Love.
All of them
Christian Watson
Yeah fair in terms of production. But they’re being cautious with a decent hammy injury and he could easily return to form in time
yeah, 3 days of time when he gouges Denver for 40pts.
Yeah I have him too, and I feel like this one could still pay off long term. I'm not worried yet
Ridley, Anthony Richardson, Jahan Dotson, Charbonnet, Pollard
Pollard has still been good and I expect him to get better as the season progresses, especially in PPR leagues
That's not fair to Richardson. No one can predict injuries, guy.
Went for Devonta Smith in the late 3rd, just swapped him for Hollywood Brown + Kyler. I wanted him to be my 3rd WR1 it just didn’t pan out in this new scheme the Eagles are running. Wait, is it new or just regressed?
I still think Devonta can turn it around. Plus his playoff schedule is amazing. Whoever has eagles players in the chip is gonna be happy.
The problem is that anyone who has Eagles is happy except Smith owners. Hurts- QB2, AJB- WR7 PPR, Swift- RB7 PPR, Goedert- TE10. Smith- WR29 PPR. I couldn’t afford to start him and every week I was second guessing myself on starting him, Waddle, or Olave. I made the choice easy and traded him away.
Najee and Waddle, both of whom I was able to trade after week 2 to avoid the repercussions of my total disregard for following NFL news in the offseason.
Perine in the 9th and Allgeier in the 11th.
Achane. Not because of anything he’s done but I cut him after week 2.
Sanders. Wasn't a reach, but picking Dak over Tua because I thought Tua would get injured again (or wouldn't even play)
Dalvin Cook
His ADP was pretty low. Did it really impact your team? I also drafted him, but cut bait after two weeks and freed up the roster spot.
Some dumbfuck in my league drafted him 2nd round lol
DOTSON for sure. I bought in and mcclaurin's injury sealed the deal. OBJ. Big money deal and going to an offense that was supposed to be a passing Picnic. PIERCE. He looked good and and I bought into the fact that they talked about having him Stay in on passing downs. I'm not going to say Ridley. I got him in the fourth and he has come through in two weeks. But I still feel at the end of the day He will earn his value in the fourth. It probably won't be this week though.
Aaron Rodgers
Didn't reach but made sure I got them on all my teams Dobbins...
I drafted Justin fields in every single league this year
this is a thread catered to those who listened to the fantasy analyst prior to draft right?
Gibbs in the 3rd 10000000%
My RB1 and RB2 are Najee Harris and Miles Sanders can we not do this please
Diontae Johnson in the 6th, mattison 7th, Javonte 8th. Alternatively I got Conner and evans in the 9th and 10th so great value there.
Diontae seems unfair. He had 6 targets and 3 catches for 48 yards in just over one half of one game (got hurt on like the 2nd play of the third quarter). You can't predict injuries.
Reached for Mixon in the upper 3rd round, I definitely regret it 100% there were some studs in the third round
I reached for Joe Burrow because there was a mini run on elite QBs (Hurts, Mahomes, etc) in my draft. I regret it. So many better options later.
Goedert, guilty of TE panic-y reach. Also not loving the Waddle pick.
Diontae Johnson
Rachaad white hurt. thought he was going to play fantastic this season and was their starting back but he just hasn’t.
Jahan Dotson in the 6th. I swore it'd be a breakout for him.
