Bold take: Georgia will not make the SEC Championship game! Don’t think they make it out of the stretch of UT, Ole Miss, and TENN without a second loss!
@@Schwidawg something we kind of alluded to at the end was there isn’t a comfortable cash lineup this week. Kam stated playing lighter is a good option for this slate. The first 2 lineups we built were our first looks “cash lineups” but getting 3 of the top 4 and then throwing darts at everyone else is our strategy. Good luck!
@@GameTimeDiscussions. Makes sense. I was considering NE J. Polk for that off chance of getting a few decent targets. With that said, you guys are so right in this being a tough build w/o getting so chalky. for me, I play single entry so getting too chalky is not that bad of thing, Good luck to you guys as well. I really liked your show. Really down-to-earth and well thought out.
@@misterjimenez5932 it is under the tab that says NFLSZN. You can also search the name of individual players especially if you were going to follow our bets! Good luck!
The Bears made an extra effort to accomplish this. 1) Eberflus boasted about meddling in the offense. 2) Then he refused to answer questions about his play-calling after it was obvious he'd asked/ordered Fields to Not Throw to certain receivers on certain plays. 3) Then Fields called the play-calling out publicly & he reacted by allowing Getsy to change the plays or meddled less. It's hard to know when you're not in the room with them. 4) The Bears led in offense for a 3-week streak Right When those different plays were used so who 5) cancelled those plays after that 3 weeks? If you're gonna say Getsy, then you'd have to explain how Eberflus is competent. So it was him. He knowingly returned to calling plays that haled the amount of points they scored for a year & a half. Being that this all unfolded before our eyes why does every NFL fan & analyst seem terrified of discussing it?
Right now on DraftKings, it’s kind of nice to be in the middle for the most part! I’ve personally never loved the first spot because the team is so top heavy. I think over time as the ADPs shift, 4-6 will be the sweet spot for me. That said, we’ve been getting a ton of 10-12 this year!
We will see if teams are willing to do that at the NFL level. Travis is a dynamic player and should be considered a top 3 CB and top 3 WR heading into this next season. Focusing on one side of the ball similar to Derek Stingley Jr. could help Travis move closer to #1 overall pick in next year's draft.
One of the ideas Kam brought up in some recent drafts is being underweight on him with the number one pick! Just so hard to construct a roster with how the end of the second round looks!
We acknowledged this in a previous comment and clarified what we meant! Short blurb: none of the eight teams that won back-to-back Super Bowls returned the following year. We appreciate you joining the discussion and pointing this out!
Not against it based on how drafts are going! Whether or not Ja’Marr is WR1 is up for debate, but we just find it very difficult to start off a Best Ball draft going RB with the first pick. Maybe that could change as ADPs move around!
Gibbs & Laporta to put with St Brown however dont sleep on Jamo this year as he finally gets to play week-1, + been great in OTA's. Nico before Diggs, especially considering Nico/Stroud chemistry... I'm sure they're best buds come week-3, Nov.
Nico vs Diggs is such a tough debate. We are against consensus on who is ranked higher but will have shares of both! What is crazy is how high Tank’s ADP has risen. We just don’t anticipate all three being able to live up to their respective draft values. Someone has to bust! Hard to tell who at the moment.
Oh yeahhhhh, I’d like to have a discussion about my Texans especially the battles they dealt with last season with injuries! The AFC South will be fun.
If Fields starts, then he'll be great. It would be better if he had a deeper receiving corps. Aiyuk was rumored to be going there & while he'd be a great regular season addition, the Steelers aren't true contenders, & Aiyuk's best use is where Pickens succeeds best, mid-range in-breaking routes. What's _great_ about him is his hands & ability to make contested catches. He's amazing at moving off defenders without looking like he's touching them. Both Fields & Russ are more Really Accurate than Purdy, so I imagine this to be an amazing receiver to QB match no matter who starts. _If_ it happens. They have Zero Depth, even at LB. The games Watt missed in '22 showed they become mid without him. So even if the Steelers make the playoffs this year, what next? They'll have worse draft picks, Heyward & others are aging out, he & Pickens have already gotten upset at the franchise... I can't see them building up. What do they have to trade now for Aiyuk or any other receiver without depleting their roster depth elsewhere? Only future picks that they need. I half-feel as if they should blow it all up mid-season _unless_ they're 7-3 or better.
Pittsburgh is a fascinating team to think about for 2024. Mike Tomlin has never had a losing season and recently has overachieved in terms of expectation since they moved on from Big Ben. We are really bullish on their roster, but you are correct with a lack of depth. They did have one of our favorite draft classes as well that over time should help with that in future seasons. Still, the NFL did them no favors to end the season. All six division games AND PHI and KC to end the season? BRUTAL! In terms of fantasy football, Pickens has a clear path for volume and we may be a little low in our WR rankings on him. That said, Arthur Smith has a recent track record of being frustratingly inconsistent getting touches for his stars. Also, in terms of Best Ball, Justin Fields we are getting a ton of shares of as a QB3 late in drafts because he does provide a ton of upside in weeks that he plays. Very low risk, high reward in spite of the tough stretch to end the year!
@@GameTimeDiscussions. They play in Denver in Week Two. I have a feeling that Russ does not start that game. If there's _ANY_ chance_ he's not in top form then there's too much risk of giving fans the chance to cheer & boo him off the field. Smith seems perfectly fine of a creative OC for maybe these Steelers. It was when he had too many RBs to choose from that his creativity became its own sake. Before that it was Patterson 'til he got injured then Allgeier. Once he *could* stupidly ask himself the question "what are fantasy football fans _expecting_ me to do" he did then decided he was going to subvert those expectations he assumed for... reasons. The Steelers have One Receiving TE, one blocking one, one rookie WR, one who demands all the passes. I don't think he'll have enough to distract himself into making bad decisions.
Seattle may exceed expectations. the Packers are a mystery. Someone pointed out that Shane Waldron's rep was made when he wasn't The #1 Play-caller, Dave Canales was. Last year the entire offense under-performed. & while most people said "the o-line was injured" so was that of the Texans. That doesn't explain why the receivers weren't in synch with Geno. They & the Jags are two teams where this sudden decline in something So Basic, especially with receivers who did better last year coincides with new OCs. We haven't seen Love under pressure yet. So while all _other_ indications are on the upswing & I _do expect_ that most games he will continue to get better, this nags at the back of my mind. There are many otherwise QBs who do well except when pressured. I think the Chargers will have 1 or 2 surprise wins but overall, they have one rookie WR expected to do what? Play-calling can ruin a team. But there's only so much coaching can do with no roster. Who exactly are supposed to lose to the Chargers & how? Their D is better than they could ever have been under Staley sure & I can link a video proving that Kellen Moore's play-calling was terrible. There's just no receiving corps to work with. So even with better coaching like what the Panthers supposedly had at the end of last season, so what? Speaking of the Panthers, same question: who are they supposed to be able to beat? I can't think of a team that didn't upgrade as much as they did that weren't already way better than they were. I hope their coaches are All Patient because they may come last again. The Pats beat the Bills with a weaker roster last season. The Panthers won 2 games almost only be being less bad than those teams on those days. They're better than _they were_ last season. That ain't who they're gonna play _this_ season. As for the Lions, I suspect there's another reason they're not as strong as people think: their coaching staff Imposes Control. To a fault. This is why JAMO hasn't broken out yet, the OC Johnson is forever tweaking slightly new ways to make the mid-range passes to Amon-Ra & rushing. I don't even know who the DC is or what they do, I just notice that they stick to what doesn't work so well as if that's more important than winning.
@@GameTimeDiscussions. Yeah, sorry. Getting whomped by what used to be called "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" has left me with too much time to ramble. I abuse the privilege.
@GameTimeDiscussions. At first, I was very disappointed. However, as more info came out about Callahan, my optimism has grown more and more. The culture change has been crazy in Tennessee from the info ive gathered. Good luck to everyone though!
I have a strange feeling that AI came up with this schedule. There are what, 4 teams this year with 3 games in 10 days? How did the NFLPA sign off on this? why are the players accepting it? It's nuts. none of those teams are gonna win those games (assuming they're not playing them against one of the others) & 4 games in 18 days isn't much better. What player thinks they can play 3 in 10 & be in shape? There Will Be Injuries.. I can't figure this out. They want more months of football. Stretch the season out? Naah. Let's injure players & make things *less* interesting instead. Isn't that what everyone loved about the Jets last season?
This year, there will be 10 teams to play three games in a 10 day stretch. Definitely rough! This was just an imperfect storm that came together with Christmas falling on a Wednesday. Don’t think that will be the new norm, but the NFL is definitely pushing 18 games sooner rather than later. My thoughts have always been adding an extra bye week once it was moved to 17 games, but that’s even more apparent if they go to 18. It makes sense for all parties in that instance. As much as it is a revenue business, there also needs to be an even balance for player safety/health, which you alluded to. We appreciate you joining the discussion!
@@GameTimeDiscussions. I've heard of this "18 games 2 bye weeks" idea. It's a good one to try. It'll eff up all fantasy players & make records from previous years look wimpy. But will it work? _We_ may not realize it but these guys have to live & breathe for football even in the off-season. But during it they do that together. & that much testosterone together for too long tends to lead to disgruntlement.
They must not know about Mike McDonald who turns players careers around we got the best defensive player in the draft got a top 10 CB duo a top 5 WR CORE with a Qb who is very accurate with a great running back watch out
Never against being proven wrong! We expect a transition year in the first season without Pete Carroll. Byron for what it’s worth was our sixth-best defensive player in this class. That said, from a fantasy football perspective, we will definitely have shares of that receiving core and KWIII in Best Ball! We appreciate you joining the discussion!
