I don't think there is any reason to move this -- Carson's value is tightly bound to Penny's. If anything, you will (mostly) get people more interested in a general discussion on the relative merits of the players than someone being defensive b/c their high draft pick is getting slagged.

Sorry, but that's a singularly unhelpful post. What was your point? Blasting someone's opinion with "the best fantasy minds say you're wrong!" is pointless. We can all look at expert consensus rankings -- so please add something to the conversation or don't bother. We know that the Seahawks...

While I definitely agree with you that Penny is likely going to be the starter and better pro (and the Seahawks spending a first round pick strongly argues that they believe so as well), it's silly to so completely dismiss Carson's actual performance in NFL games. Not only is 4.2 YPC far better...

Let me get this straight, you're claiming that NFL team's perception of their own roster has no cause in their selection of free agents? Would you argue that the 49ers signing Jerick McKinnon has no relevance on their view of Joe Williams or Matt Breida as a potential starting NFL running back...

Sorry, but TD-to-Int ratio isn't the end-all, be-all QB statistic. By QBR, Kaep was 23rd last year of qualified QBs and 29th in 2015. By QB rating, he was 17th last year and 31st in 2015. Last season, PFF had him as the 29th ranked QB: PFF link There's a much stronger argument for Kaep being...

Gruden's comments are interesting, it certainly implies that Kelley has won the job. But it's not like coaches don't talk out of their *** in press conferences at times and do something completely different. To me, the most encouraging thing is that, from a quick parsing, Kelley had no negative...

I don't understand the shade being thrown on Kelley after this start. Certainly, he's not explosive but he runs hard and falls forward. In 21 carries, he never ran for a loss and held on to the ball. If you have Thompson as a passing down back, a reliable between the tackles runner like Kelley...

It's amazing how the Winston/Mariota debate has whipsawed. It's interesting how quiet this thread has gotten considering Mariota is looking every bit the franchise QB the Titans thought they were getting. He may not be a fantasy stud until he gets better receivers and the opportunity to throw...

This season hasn't been great for shallow league WW opportunities but has been pretty interesting in deeper leagues and dynasty. This week is similar, with few gems but some interesting plays: Tier 1 (aka standard league interest): Davante Adams (and Ty Montgomery, if still available) -- it...

Let me call you out here for a lazy, misleading and overall worthless post. Lee is bigger than Antonio Brown with a similar 40 time (edit: want to make it clear that I'm not saying he's AB, but rather that 6' 192lb with a 4.5 40 is plenty good enough to be a quality WR). His SPARQ was a solid...

While that's true, the counter point is that he was incredibly efficient in the worst WR core in the NFL. There are no other WR to compete with Wright for snaps or targets as long as he's productive. It's amazing to me how buzzy Sharpe as the possible WR1 for Mariota and here we have a guy with...

I don't have a dog in this fight but I think you're overstating the importance of snap counts here as there are some mitigating factors: 1) Their head coach wasn't there; Kubiak may have done things differently 2) While CJA overall looked good (and the TD that was called back was a great...

I think this raises an interesting question: does he actually have more dynasty value than Evans at this point? While I think OBJ is the more talented player, he has an aging QB and legitimate competition for targets. Evans is a target monster with a huge catch radius and a QB who is fearless in...

I was of the same opinion as you re: Seattle. However, what's going on in Dallas is very telling. During the bye week, we were hearing from beat writers that Michael was getting first team reps and would be playing a much larger role; we even heard from Gary Brown about letting Michael 'rock'...

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't trying to suggest that Adams will take Jones' spot in the lineup while Jordy is out but rather that's likely his long-term role on the team. I think it's even possible he'll startt getting some of Jones' red zone targets this year. I don't hate the guy, as Ryno...
