To be fair, I said QB1 with chance at QB5-8 range finish. QB5 would be the absolute top end of what I'm calling for.
Probably it will lie in the middle. Pats will be behind enough to have to pass in some games. At same time we could expect some bumps and bruises forcing Cam out of a game or two. Probably that game or two makes him likely middle ranked qb, like 15th to 18th. But ppg should be more of a 10th ranked qb like Josh Allen(who runs for similar projected yardage).
Who's gonna pound that ground, though? Michel? Harris? I have serious reservations about both backs. I'm not saying they'll air it out, but they can't just run the football 30 times a game and expect to win. Burkhead seems most likely to succeed, but he'll be hurt most likely. Ride him while you can, I guess.
FML. Maybe the worst team in the Least this year. (The Jets, I mean.)It is good they get to play the Jets twice then.
It seems to be the median. Only 17 QBs passed for more than 3500 yards. One is now a back up in NO. Another is starting in Miami, but might not start the full season. Of course, those two could be replaced by Burrow and Darnold(monokept him from 3500 imo).
The fact that 17 QBs surpassed it and a few more would have if not for missed games makes my point.
Here is the Patriots current list of skilled position players and their lifetime number of receptions:
I can see that going either way. You'd think he'd be the last man defenses focus on with all that talent...but I also could see him just being left out with Zeke and those trio of WRs..
Maybe the guy they used a first rounder on has some talent? White is a fine pass catching RB and Edelman is a solid dependable receiver. I’m just stating something that should be obvious, 3,500 passing yards isn’t some high standard.
Is it just me, or has there been a *lot* more puff press out about Lamb than Jeudy this preseason? I went back an read the start of the Jeudy thread, and Jeudy was the consensus #1 WR coming into last season.
Wow - seeing those numbers makes me think James White will easily catch 100+ balls. Cam does love to check down when no receiver is open - that could happen quite often.
Except White usually only plays 35-40% of the snaps. Hard to catch 100+ footballs when you are not in the game.
Thank you. I don't know what I was thinking. Lolol I bet that title was driving some people nuts.
It made for a great pileup. Sometimes an innocent demolition derby is all we're looking for here, Milk.
I've got Cam going for 3600-21 with 500-6 on the ground, with a chance of 7-10 rush TD's if they choose to use him more often near the goal line.
Yeah I'm totally down with this. I'm running with a Brees, Thomas, Sanders trio even.
IMO, NE players probably won't be great for fantasy, but that doesn't mean the team overall will be terrible.
People are pretty rosy on their defense but it seems to have lost an awful lot. Hightower, Chung, Van Noy, Collins, etc. Their whole linebacking corps is set to begin anew, really. Bentley has their green dot in practice, and I don't think he's ever played but a few hundred snaps in a year. I see tougher sledding ahead than most.
BB had more guys to play than he had snaps to go around last year. An all new LB group is definitely a concern, but they still have one of the best secondaries in the league. The weak link the past couple of years was the LBers were all old and slow. Now they are younger and quicker . . . but very green. Clearly no one knows much since they haven't played much.
Going off of 2019 (obviously with Brady):
Against the Saints last year he was a beast! The Saints did everything they could to keep him from gaining a yard on screen passes but Cohen was too skilled for them and was able to pick it up most of the time. He even beat that yard mark by 9X on one reception. What a memorable performance. PPR Stud - 9 Recs for 19 yards with a long of 9 yards. That means he gained 10 yards on his other 8 receptions. Get me a piece of that for my fantasy team! You called me a salty Bears fan?
I vividly recall watching game 1 kick off with you on messenger - and the 1st play of the 1st game of the season was some 8-way fake hand off toss sweep end-around trickery that took 37 seconds to develop and ended up with a loss of 5.
Wut
I guess so. Where is all this coming from? You need a couch to get comfy on there, Baloo?
I did message you from Soldier Field and still had high hopes last year even after their pitiful offensive performance. They offense looked great and earned all 3 points that game.I vividly recall watching game 1 kick off with you on messenger - and the 1st play of the 1st game of the season was some 8-way fake hand off toss sweep end-around trickery that took 37 seconds to develop and ended up with a loss of 5.
That was a harbinger of doom for the 2019 season.
This is the Bears correct? Thats a fantasyland comment if I have ever seen one.
I have not posted at all this off season, have my 1 lone draft tonight as the season opens, heart just not in it this year and cannot keep a stiff upper lip but of all the names I had passed across my plate as sleepers, by far Sanders has the MOST upside IMHO...Saints have always been prime for a solid WR2, they throw to the RBs so often because they seem to lack solid WR2 and 3 options. I feel Sanders will fill that up, steal targets from the TEs and RBs and this is free money after the 7th round IMO so scoop it up wherever you need to.
You might get him later than that. Check fantasy draft calculator for his current ADP.
I know you very well HSG and I opted to not spread my pessimistic views right now and just roll with whatever tonight and just be grateful I guess we can even watch something on Sundays for now.
Not even drafted in my 10 teamer. I love him but is he better than anyone in my wr core? Hopkins, scary larry, k. Allen, t. Boyd. We only start 2wr. One flex
I just came in here to bang the drum for McKinnon as my sleeper of the year.
Talk to us about James White, seems like a total overlook in most drafts, would appear to have a chance to haul in a lot of check downs and continue to catch a lot of balls. In PPR he seems like a shoe in for Top 25 many weeks, especially while they are bursing a lot of injuries at RB to boot.
I posted earlier about this in a different thread but can’t find it. Someone suggested White would have crazy reception totals like CMC. The issue I had was White only played 40% of the snaps and is not an every down back. Brady actually targeted White more than CMC was targeted in CAR on a percentage basis. Unlike the Panthers, NE uses plenty of RB, so I doubt White would get more work. The Pats are said to be trying to get multiple backs involved in the passing game, so White might not even get as many targets. He was the RB19 in PPR last year, so he will probably be in the RB20-25 range. IMO, you could probably get production in that range from McKinnon this year (who is barely a blip on the fantasy radar).
