Am I about to try and draft Tyler Warren in my dynasty league after drafting Bowers last year?

Part of me would love to ship him off to a contender next year to give him one last shot at a ring since his dead cap will be low. On the other hand, I don’t want to handicap Bryce with XL and whatever else.

Mayfield and Darnold are playing great ball and have been consistently good all year. Bryce on the other hand didn’t really start putting it together until 7 games ago. If you average out his stats over the past 7 games you’d have a QB that is on pace for 29 total TD’s over a 17 game season. That’s fringe top 10 QB play. Who know’s if Bryce has completely turned the corner but he’s playing much better than his season stats suggest. 12 total TD’s to 4 total turnovers over the past 7 games isn’t bad. Just for comparisons sake, Jordan Love is at 11 total TD’s to 1 total turnover over his past 7 games. Pretty similar stats with the main difference being the Packers have a really good defense and head coach.

Going to have to put Boone in, Blackshear can’t block.

I can’t imagine being upset after seeing Bryce go for 150 and 2 TD’s in the first half.

I know everyone wants to pick a side… Bryce or no Bryce. I wanted Stroud but Bryce is showing you everything you could possibly want to see considering the circumstances of no running game, a historically bad defense, and a kicker who can’t hit outside of 40 yards.

Bryce doing this with no run game is impressive.

Finally a good defensive play.

I mean… that was nice.

A few coaches seem to be on board with Nick Saban being the commissioner of college football.

I had to look this one up. For 2024 and 25 this bowl is using the old conferences for their tie in’s. So technically BYU is Big 12 and Colorado is PAC 12. It’s weird.

Going to be interesting to see what Sanders does with Kaidon Salter next year. The year before last he had Liberty in a NY6 bowl. Assuming he beats out Lewis.

I will say we are 100% in agreement with Hunter. I’m still not even sure he’s a WR. You mentioned the size. It screams CB but maybe that’s just me.

There’s the obvious guys like Hunter and T-Mac who everyone likes. They are safe picks. I’m not exactly sure how safe Hunter is though because I feel like he’ll be a DB. T-Mac, he reminds me of Michael Pittman. Just a safe WR who catches the ball when it’s thrown to him. Under the radar picks? Emeka Egbuka. If you want to go deeper than that, Tez Johnson. If you want a favorite player in the draft, Tyler Warren.

It 100% was, he ran a 3.97 at his pro day. In reference to pass uses of shuttle times. This article details how Edelman’s shuttle got him drafted in the first place. A guy who was completely off the radar in college got drafted simply because of his elite shuttle time. Ladd’s definitely played a role in his draft stock boost. Additionally, saying a receiver is or isn’t good because of their QB play is such a lazy argument. McConkey is elite at creating separation. Just a few weeks ago PFF had him as their leader in created separation for the week. Does he have prior injury concerns, sure. But there’s a difference between drafting a wide receiver with an injury history verses signing a wide receiver with an injury history. The main difference being the money. https://fantasyindex.com/2024/05/21/factoid/quick-receivers

Oh 100%, I don’t even know why we still do the 40.

The shuttle is becoming the new 40. Everyone wants to see it because it really separates those high twitch athletes from the “just fast” athletes. Ladd’s shuttle is what boosted his draft stock.

Let’s be real though, having two of the top three picks and not making the playoffs isn’t exactly a glowing endorsement of Sanders head coaching skills. Carolina fans questioned Mack Brown’s coaching skills after he wasn’t able to win an ACC championship with Trubisky or Maye. Sanders will get the same treatment if his team consistently comes up short. And for what it’s worth I like Deion. All the videos I’ve seen show that he develops kids to succeed beyond football. I just question his overall ability to coach a complete football team. As an All-Pro HOF DB, you’d think he could field a competent defense.

Do we suck… maybe. But not tonight.

Pats definitely make the most sense from a money standpoint. My sleeper teams for Higgins would be the Commanders and Packers. Both have a ton of cap space and not a whole lot of holes to plug in free agency. Both could use one more game changer on offense to get them over the hump.

Personal opinion but I think he’d be a #1 on 70% of the teams in the NFL. I just think he’ll get Aiyuk money which doesn’t make sense for us right now. If we decide to beef up the interior through free agency with one of Milton Williams or Osa Odighizuwa then getting a WR on a rookie contract makes much more sense. For what it’s worth I project Williams at $20M APY and Odighizuwa at $25M APY. Both would probably be a better investment than Higgins at $30M APY.

Injuries are the only thing that would keep me away from him. We don’t need an Aiyuk situation. But there’s no denying Higgins is a #1 in this league.

Wrong thread but still relevant.

Big issue with Higgins is the injuries over the past two years. He hasn’t been able to stay healthy, he was dealing with an ankle/knee injury heading into todays game. But those saying he isn’t a #1 are dead wrong. He’s missed 5 games but his projections over 16 games are 100 receptions, 1,248 yards, and 15 TD’s. Literally, the only WR putting up better numbers than Higgins on a per game basis is his running mate, Chase. You just have to ask yourself, is a guy who has missed 10 games over the past two years worth $30M a year.
