I am not sure if that is a move I would make because Chase and Higgins will limit each other game to game. They are both worth starting but given a choice I would like to diversify a bit. I get that Hill and Mahomes are also tied but they don't limit the upside...they add to it (albeit they also lower the floor).
At the time I made the deal it was riskier than it would be now, this was a couple months ago, and I’d never have gotten JJ as one of the two WRs (then or now), but I get your meaning.
I would say you would be correct if they are on different teams. However I think the diminish each other's value somewhat but that is regardless if you had both or not. Its just that both are on the same team (NFL not FF) diminishes both their values somewhat. But maybe that is partially why you could get both.
Right, I agree in the long term. My point was that by being right about how good they both are (not difficult I admit), I now can diversify any time this offseason as they are both worth a lot more than when I dealt for them. When I made the deal Chase was spooking people with all his training camp drops while somehow simultaneously Higgins was the forgotten man bc of Chase. I can use either of their new, higher value to flip for someone and diversify outside the Bengals O if I want. Whereas at the time I don’t think I was getting JJ+Higgins or Chase+AJB or something, if that makes sense.Gally said:
Didn't start Higgins in my semifinal and don't think I can again in the Final. I only have to start 1 WR though and have Dionte Johnson in that spot at the moment.
Same here
Is Boyd likely to return to this receiving core? That has to be another 5-7% kicker if there's an inferior 3rd WR. Am I right?So next year 93 receptions for 1600 yards with 10 TDs?
Not quite, but still a decent value. I dealt Mahomes for 2x 1sts (2022. 2023), a 2023 2nd, Tee Higgins, Zach Wilson & CEH.Is Boyd likely to return to this receiving core? That has to be another 5-7% kicker if there's an inferior 3rd WR. Am I right?
He seems to have attained low-end WR1 startup status going into next season. I went in to his rookie draft thinking that I wasn't a fan, only to find out that my entire league was even less of a fan, somehow letting him slip to me in the 4th round. Couldn't be more thrilled for me and the rest of my league to be this wrong. As I recall, a lot of credit goes to MFL having him buried in their rankings for no apparent reason. Anyone else get him at a ridiculous value that way?
I love looking at stuff like this retrospectively. He nailed Higgins IMO. Maybe not the top guy but still he was much higher on him then most. And his defense for his opinion was great.
Chris Simms rankings:
As someone who’s had this surgery, I don’t expect him to do much until training camp. They’re being a little dramatic in their description, but this is an extremely low-risk operation. Especially for a WR. If we were talking about a QB’s throwing arm, there might be cause for concern, but I’m not at all worried about Higgins recovery.
I love him, and the entire Bengals offense. I took Chase in the 1st, and Higgins in the 3rd in a startup PPR Best Ball SF league last month. I also took Hurst late. Burrow is going to be an amazing QB for a long time, so I want as much of this offense as I can get.
I'd take him ahead of all 3 of those guys.
Why do you think so?
Yeah - just came to post that. RIP his dad.
Brett Farve sure did
Indeed he did.
You gotta give Racey a break. The poor guy was behind Justin Jefferson, Ja'marr Chase and Terrace Marshall at LSU
He practiced Friday. Is there something else we should know about? Assuming he clears concussion protocol, he’s probably still better than Racey McMath who checks in at 159.
Ah, yes that makes sense.
My parents just hit 80. I’m bracing myself. I often see athletes play in the wake of such an event and I’m always amazed that they’re able to do so.
Not to be confused with a racy math joke, like the pickup line: "I wish I were your derivative, so I could be tangent to your curves."
Talk nerdy to me, baby.
What are you all looking at here for production? He’s 4pm games… if he’s a late scratch, I’m Pierce on Texans or Herbert on Bears. If I just scrape him, I’ve got Bateman on the Ravens.
He's back to starting in my two lineups. He's good to go. He's a top end WR #2 this week. Now, Boyd could take a lil away, who knows. Higgins is the cream of the crop vs. those other guys. He passed the concussion protocol and had a personal day because his father passed. Will his mind be in it? Often others play well because they feel they are honoring a loved one. We'll see.
