Fair though throwing to Hollywood Brown and CeeDee Lamb was a nice set up for Kyler. I imagine those guys were open a lot. Baker had Hollywood, Lamb and Mark Andrews. Hurts probably had the worst cast of the three.
That doesn't make much sense to me. He showed enough to get a 2nd in a 1QB league (that's all I play in).Mister CIA said:
It’s funny how Rotoworld gets so snarky about something so innocent and so common (especially for a new HC with a team that doesn’t really have an incumbent starter) and tries to spin it into come kind of incompetence.
They really are tough to digest these days. Sad thing is, as the season wears on, you come to depend on sources like that to a degree when it comes down to something like knowing whether a team's fifth or sixth wide receiver will start because of injuries or something like that. I'm talking redraft here. They'd do better to keep the Twitter snark and narrative attitude out of their blurbs so they're readable and informative again.Dr. Octopus said:
The other 11 owners in my 1QB dynasty don't have a warm and fuzzy feeling either. I was asking for anyone willing to offer up one of their picks in exchange for Hurts & my 2.4. I thought I might get a token 2.2 or 2.3 offer. Maybe even a late first that would give me something to think about, but I received zero response.
Went through with this.
If I were after a qb then I'd try to pick Lance then Fields. If unsuccessful I'd try to trade for Hurts, but would be comfortable with Wilson as plan b.
They do have the easiest strength of schedule in the NFL this year on their side.
Not sure that’s good for Hurts though. He’s probably best in a more run heavy offense. I know SOS doesn’t always carry over year to year but maybe they catch a break on that level. It’s just a strange situation how a team would spend a 2nd round pick on a player and then even if he ends up playing pretty well in year 2 consider just totally moving on. It’s a risk but just an odd risk to me.
My counter to this if he plays well he'll be someones starting QB.
Spending a second on a QB when you had a fairly young Wentz locked up seemed odd to me but they almost dumb lucked into this situation with respect to I doubt they forecast Wentz not being part of the team but now in a likely rebuild year they get to take an extended look at Hurts. I feel like it worked out for them but no way was this the plan when they took him.
i think hurts will get a legit shot this year and if he shows improvement i think they stick with him.
But if they traded for Watson I would have to assume that Houston would want Hurts going back the other way so he should still be a starter in that scenario as well.
He's also fits the mode of what we've seen from the most valuable fantasy QBs the last 2 years (Lamar, Allen, Kyler). Young player who had mixed play in their previous years but showed a lot of potential, especially rushing. Lots of doubters and some flaws limited them to mid round draft capital. Mahomes sort of fits that too. He wasn't a rusher but was coming in to year 2 with only a 1 game resume.
couple of things:
Yeah, his cost is on Underdog right now is late 7th-early 8th. Even if Watson gets traded to Philly, it likely would include Hurts to Houston. Neither offense is particularly better than the other. I will say, the Philly organization has been really non-committal to him, but they also didn't draft Fields or Mac where they had the chance this year. Plus, the OC did come out today and say that they were building the offense to suit Hurts' strengths. Sure, he could be a bust but as long as he is playing, it's likely he is doing well for fantasy because of the rushing. It's worth the risk IMO.
Lol cause they're the Eagles! They always *think* they are the smartest guys in the room.
Because they are trying really hard to not let on that Hurts is their starter. It’s ridiculous because nobody in their right mind believes they would start Flacco but I really think they are trying to get some kind of competitive advantage by not showing their hand.
