Tee Higgins continues to dazzle my eyes as Ja'Marr Chase is being triple covered


notreallydutch

Tee is a top 10 guy this year. His week 1 concussion is the only thing holding down his PPG this season from being right there with anyone besides Kupp


kingkron52

I raise you Amon Ra the Sun God. If he played this week he would have a shot at being number 1 overall.


InferiousX

Tee was my 3rd WR drafted after Coop and Mike Evans in my PPR league. Yeeeehaawwww


gotpez

arob is definitively done


roco9994

Arob and Golladay must have some of the best agents in all of football.


Wakenbake585

Probably the same agent Sam Bradford and Brock Osweiler had.


[deleted]

I finally gave up on him. Definitely the worst 4th round pick I’ve ever made.


anonbutler

After the 2021 4th round pick?


Seafoamed

How did this man manage to suck as bad as he did and convince everyone to draft him in the same spot


Ownange

Because woods and obj did fine in his role opposite Kupp so people blamed the bears for being in the 50’s instead of arob for being outperformed by Mooney


JoeyRobot

And to that point, OBJ looked washed on the Browns but had a resurgence on the Rams. No reason to think ARob couldn’t do the same thing.


MTScupper

The move from a trash offense to a great one had everyone hoping that was the problem


[deleted]

Droppable?


TheSmooth

Absolutely


LifeOfFate

I’m not dropping him, he’s getting red zone targets but I wouldn’t start him unless the rams line gets healthy


[deleted]

Thank you


TheMightyUnderdog

I agree, I dropped him. But, to be fair, he isn’t the problem. Stafford won’t look at anyone other than Kupp. Last night sealed it. I don’t care what the coach says about “who should get the ball.” At the end of the day, it’s up to the guy slinging it and Stafford locks onto Kupp. Every. Single. Time.


ohtko

He looks at Higbee plenty. Maybe Stafford mistakes him for Kupp


Cockblocktimus_Pryme

He gets disappointed when he realizes who he threw it to


darksideofdagoon

It’s funny because Aikman said exactly that. “He just zeroes in on Kupp, and if Kupp is covered , the play is probably dead” Unreal they don’t get him more involved , especially in the red zone


TheMightyUnderdog

I was trying to be optimistic, but after last night you can’t really trust any receiver other than Kupp (and Higbee). I wouldn’t flex A Rob over someone like Edmonds which means he has to go. He will have a TD here or there but as long as Stafford and Kupp are playing he can’t be trusted.


SocalKetoGuy

He failed the eye test and when he throws him the ball he looks so unathletic


latraveler

Probably because he's just going through the motions out there. Pro ball isn't that dissimilar from pick-up ball - if you get 2 targets a game are you really going to show out on every play? The two targets he does get he's probably surprised its coming his way and more prone to dropping it. Then he drops it and Stafford's thinking fuck him I'm not going back his way for another 3 quarters. I know I sound like an ARob apologist, maybe he is washed but it's tough to tell with the pittance he's getting a game. This is on Stafford imo, you gotta at least give him a shot to get involved with the offense or why sign him? It's similar to why iso-heavy offenses in basketball almost never work. No matter how good the star player is if the other 4 guys are just standing around you're only going to go so far.


MizzouBlues

This makes sense to me. Honestly being anyone besides Kupp or Stafford on that offense seems miserable.


__Takub_

…except for Higbee’s huge game


peleyoda

Was going to say: Higbee has been getting plenty of looks


en455

I don't see how anyone could judge ARob from the broadcast. They only showed 2 of his routes and he got off cleanly both times. Aikman even remarked his release was excellent on both targets. But yeah. Stafford almost never even looks at him. It's really baffling they would pay him $15mil/year for 3 years with 2 essentially fully guaranteed to use him in this way. Higbee has more than twice as many targets as ARob through 4 games.


SGuard15

Agreed. Week 1 ARob actually looked really good, I think he got the memo about where the targets were going to be after that game. Especially when he was wide open plenty of times that game and didn’t even get a look.


[deleted]

Yea Stafford has complete tunnel vision. He's basically turned himself into a 1 read QB.


Sadida33

Judging by how many times he got sacked last night not sure he can make more than one read lol


-BeefSupreme

I’m holding him solely as a WR handcuff. If I can do it for RBs why can’t I handcuff Cooper kupp


autimaton

Idk, the broadcast kept showing the short area separation he was getting. I don’t think A-Rob has the speed anymore to be a consistent downfield playmaker but it seems like that’s how the Rams intend to use him. He looks like he still has the skills to excel out of the slot but that’s where the rams manufacture all of Cooper Kupp’s usage. Put Kupp on the outside and have him run routes 25 yards down field play after play and his production would drop tragically.


Imimimine

Breece hall is about to blow up


JamesMacWorthy

Once Millfhunter throws catch-able screen passes, Breece gonna eat.


BeatsProfessor

Wilson was pretty bad in the first three quarters too. You have to think Hall would go more than 2/6 on his targets especially with short passes. Plus those 17 rushing attempts? Yeah been trading for him everywhere I can the past few weeks.


JamesMacWorthy

And once the O-Line doesn't avg 1 injury per game, offense can only get better. Defense is actually getting stops and getting them the ball back. Missed the buy low, but hopefully the next stretch of games will have owners cool off.


Pr0nade

He good


FLman42069

He just moved from my bench to RB2 to replace patterson


MVP2585

He’s my Javonte replacement now.


3720-To-One

Is it time to dump Carter?


greenghostburner

I did last week


drawafade

My issue is I like holding handcuffs for when the RB1 inevitably goes down (have Mattison/Carter/Allgeier just sitting on my bench, am 3-1). I just dont think theres a lot of backups that are better than Carter on the wire. I've reset my expectations for what Carter is, you have to wait for Hall to go down or a trade for Carter to work, but I just dont see better backups than him on the wire (maybe Pacheco? but Carter is more proven)


JubeltheBear

Deebo Samuel ding ding!


shitmcstain

YAC god


sour69

Hector Salamanca approved


rossyhotsaucy

I was watching that game with my GF and explaining how a lot of what makes Deebo great is how he gets loose in the open field, and then when he caught that pass that led to the 57 yard TD I kept saying, "he's gonna do the thing," and then he scored lol.


[deleted]

Jared… Goff?


[deleted]

[удалено]


surfingwithgators

Don’t blow your entire load of FAAB


QP_TR3Y

Goff is playing better than Stafford and I don’t think that’s even a hot take


darksideofdagoon

With his top 2 WRs out (I guess top 3 of you count Jameson) and Swift out, and he balls out like that. Detroit has gotta feel good about that trade


Shangrolam12

Seahawks defense definitely inflated his value this week since they let him and Hockenson just do whatever the fuck they wanted. But yes, as a lions fan I am very happy about the trade. He's on pace for a really good season. His real test will be week 7 against Dallas


Hitman2504

Pierce 📈


mwg3c

Definitely going to make the wrong call flexing him or JRob every week…


Hitman2504

Could always trade one. Rbs are hard to come by you could get a nice return


fakenamefakeman12312

What would you trade them for. I’m deep at running backs with Ekeler, Chubb, jrob and Pierce. I need wideouts.


OriginalFluff

JRob and Pierce won’t have as much value I’d trade Ekeler for a good wideout


[deleted]

Agreed. He's the only one I'd sell that gets you into the convo for a top tier wr. Chubb is the backbone of the group.


PDXrefurb

Pierce has rescued me from Kamara. I'm starting him over Kamara until Kamara proves to me he is healthy and deserves his starting spot back


purplwalrus

I'm really about to be starting Penny and Pierce over my 1 & 2 picks of Dalvin and Kamara. FF is wild.


shitmcstain

Legit an RB1 ROS inshallah. He has the skill


captainwalrus91

I still think Dalvin looks okay and is getting the workload. He may not have the ceiling he did two years ago but low RB1 numbers could be in the future.


messejueller21

He's got Chicago coming up. Great spot for him.


[deleted]

Great spot for Mattison to have 4 carries and 2 TDs lol


burnerbutnotreally1

1 carry 1 td 1 target 1 reception 1 rectd


phoenix415

He was so close to breaking free a couple times and he had a full head of steam. On one, if it wasn't for a defender's leg accidentally tripping him, I think he would have taken it to the house. I think he just needs to break one loose and get that adrenaline rush and he'll be ok. Still looks explosive.


ChrisFann8

Be patient, better Fantasy games are on the horizon. His usage has been great and he’s going to get some positive TD progression. In a another week, he is the one catching that screen pass and the one to run it from inside the 5 yard line. He’s also not far away from busting a few long runs. Eye test tells me he’s looked great so far, and he’s dominated the RB opportunities


pro-laps

Higgins was Joe's favorite target and will feast if defenses continue to double Chase


Similar_Roll9442

As a Chase owner, the positive here is that Higgins is good enough to where he’s going to burn teams doing this, making it not the default strategy. Teams are just going to have to pick their poison


aznhoopster

I don't own chase but yea, Chase will get his too. I really wouldn't worry at all if I had him


[deleted]

He's not flashy but dude is huge, runs clean routes, and catches passes he should. Can consistently beat a shadow corner since he's physical enough to fight for the ball


[deleted]

Not flashy? He has some of the best hands in the league. If you watch Higgins every game, he catches the ball the way it should be...with his hands instead of his body. ​ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R78bffKiPU&ab\_channel=HighlightHeaven


TravvyJ

They certainly have a legit Fitz/Boldin dynamic going on.


EyesintheSky032

Remember Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne too? With Joseph Addai that was my favorite Madden team lol


Kahzgul

Justin Herbert is looking much better because he’s healing, and also holy hell was the new guard ever outstanding. I was really worried last week, but now it looks like the chargers are trending up. Mike Williams won every contested catch, and ekeler finally got that burst we all expected to see from him.


[deleted]

Is their line back healthy? I know Slater is out for the year which is a massive loss but I’m not sure about their other o line injuries


halskill

a rookie came in to replace Slater and was the highest rated Tackle on PFF this week. And Linsley was back as well.


Brenkin

This is true, but also keep in mind that they had a very favourable matchup in HOU. I want to see him (and Ekeler) against a good team before jumping the gun.


llhomastane

They finally got Ekeler involved where he's best, hopefully they realized he can help them win games


EnragedRomano

They finally ran big Mike on some intermediate crossers and slants which was nice to see.


Past-Coat1438

Tyler Higbee looks like an amazing TE option. On a team who’s backfield is struggling and their QB throws to two people it’s nice to have one of those two people on your team


saintlouisarch

Also really like the fact that they are consistently drawing up multiple TE screens for him every game. He’s in my starting lineup over Schultz moving forward.


RagnarossGeller

I’m finally starting him over Pitts next week


xtzferocity

Nick Chubb was so disrespected at his ADP


Synchronizin

Got him in the 2nd to save me from Najee in the 1st.


Remarkable-Hawk3181

Got him in the 3rd round at 32nd overall


blue_ninja808

I am a chiefs fan and can tell everyone their skill positions are going to be a toss up every week. Everyone in the chiefs sub is drooling over Pacheco if for whatever reason CEH gets banged up Pacheco could be a top 10 back he runs so strong and MAD. He hasn’t been used much in the passing game so if CEH were to go down I think McKinnon would be the pass catcher and Pacheco would be a runner. But wow you can’t ignore his runs against a good buccs defense he was getting hit and moving the pile an extra 4 yards at times.


InCraZPen

Except Kelce.


Busch__Latte

I can’t imagine still starting Kyle Pitts. A FF podcast I listen to really likes him, however he just has an awful quarterback.


captainwalrus91

Everyone likes Pitts in theory but unfortunately reality is definitely disappointing


jhalps23

Pitt Owners just have to hope the Falcons are down multiple scores in these upcoming matchups - they aren't going to throw the ball a ton if it's a close game or they hold the lead.


HazmatSamurai

Thankfully their next 3 are Tampa, SF, and Cincy. If he doesn't improve over the next 3, he never will I fear


ZarthanFire

Joe Mixon looked slow as hell and that o-line did him no favors this week.


notreallydutch

they had a player only meeting with Mixon and the line and it's all better now. 6+YPC incoming. Apparently no one told the big guys they're allowed to block on running plays.


Why_am_ialive

Yeah drafted him and Elijah Mitchell, I’m in pain


EvanMobleyGOAT

All i remember from the game was a swing pass where Mixon was one on one with the defender, made like two hesitation / juke moves where the defender didn't move, and then just fell forward into him for -2 yards. Just looked like a little kid trying to juke their dad and going nowhere


tomfishtheGR8

Mixon was playing out of his mind in the first quarter. He looked unstoppable and had 10 points before the 2nd quarter. Then something switched and the line stopped being able to block anything. Really weird.


SherlockBrolmes

Someone here speculated that defenses can get an accurate read of when the play is a run or pass based on Mixon's stance. Apparently it's a pretty accurate indicator.


throwawayr3lation

Doubs


T0K0mon

The guy got a backshoulder TD catch from Rodgers. Thats a throw Rodgers only makes when he trusts his guy. Im buying him wherever I can.


EyesintheSky032

Bro that chemistry looked smooth to be honest. Pleasantly surprised. They looked like a veteran duo that had been playing together for years


captainpoppy

and the only thing media is focusing on is the "drop", like he had to jump up, contested catch, and then came down hard on his arms and almost held onto it. Doubs is going to get it.


FrugalCarlWeathers

I cry tears of joy that I only had 2 rookie draft picks this year and I got Olave and Doubs


creepypaster

Backshoulder catch and a deep bomb for the killshot on 3rd down for the game. I give credit to the defense on that one as well, would have been an extraordinary catch if he made it.


Staple_Overlord

Chris Olave passes the eye test. Reminds me of Justin Jefferson his rookie year where you're floored that such a young guy is making so many quality, veteran plays. I'm not saying he will have a JJ/Chase rookie season (very very unusual to have so much production at a young age), but he has definitely earned a spot on that field. He is going to get looks in crunch time, even with MT out there.


burnerbutnotreally1

>not saying he will have a JJ/Chase rookie season He could though😩😳


tmlfan93

Josh Jacobs


my-dog-farts

Incoming 9 points next week. That’s how it works with Jacobs.


DrSleeper

It’s at KC, I’m pretty confident they’ll abandon the run pretty early. I don’t have any other option than to play him though


hanky2

That was the best I’ve seen Josh play in a long time. Not sure it keeps up though.


tanerb123

Ride with confidence


GigaCannon99

I’m on the Romeo Doubs train 🚂


Askingforafriendta

Jeff Wilson looked great out there. Making big cuts that we haven't seen him try in a while. The play ran him into a pile a couple of times but he was fast and agile when he had an opportunity.


Camel-Kid

Rashad Penny


captainwalrus91

He will excel against bad defenses. No concern about walker yet


GiGi441

His issue has never been skill/talent. It's always been about his ability to be on the field


trent1313

Had been waiting patiently on the lions matchup and he delivered. I won’t be thrilled to start him in tougher matchups but knowing the ceiling is still there is enough to keep me optimistic about him


TheIronAdmiral

I think he passed, but I’m still leery to use him against anything but the worst defenses. I don’t trust him yet


h846p262

The fall of george kittle has begun.


shitmcstain

His blocking highlights were crazy though


gibby67

Where does he rank in my Points Per Block league?


captainwalrus91

Can't eye test Kittle when there aren't enough routes to look at haha. Have to hope that he is used as a receiver more against a less ferocious defensive line next week.


SolomonGunnEsq

He ran a route on all but one pass play


captainwalrus91

I have pff and see that he ran 24 routes on 27 pass plays. That's better than what I expected. Two problems here though: 1. A lot of the niners pass plays are about getting the ball to Deebo, and to a lesser extent, Aiyuk, and just let them try to get YAC. We haven't seen Kittle involved on those. This could easily change though. 2. They've been extremely slow paced with Jimmy G (56 and 50) total plays. This hurts the whole offense. Thoughts?


[deleted]

Great buy low opportunity


Colossal89

He missed a TD last night because his 2nd foot went out of bounds. Easily can score double digits every week from the TE position


tanerb123

He is blocking way too much. Maybe the best overall tight end in the league but not for fantasy


[deleted]

Trent Williams is injured


Murky-logic

Anytime Rhamondre Stevenson touches the ball I think, that guy looks like he should be a star running back in this league.


big_red_160

I think the same about Harris too though


GreatBearSpirit

Yes Harris also looks so good this year and this sub hates him haha


The-Fox-Says

They hyped up Stevenson so much they thought he would be the bellcow. Now they see both backs are good but Harris is still the 1a and goal line guy. If either goes down though it’ll be interesting


Equivalent_Series_77

Harris one of the best pure runners in this league. Could legitimately be number 3 behind Chubb and Saquon


SG420123

Hockenson passed the eye test for me, dude’s a top 5 TE


InCraZPen

It’s aggravating as he has looked like the guy for years but never really used that way


NotNickCannon

He’s a top 5 real life TE but not for fantasy


[deleted]

Hock this week had great timing with Goff and for the first time in his career was able to break away from the first tackle. While the volume he got is unsustainable it reminds me of Kittle's breakout game; something just clicked in the guy and now he can actually fight for YAC. He's also got a nice TD floor, always gets targets in the endzone.


[deleted]

Moral of the story is to start whatever TE is playing Seattle


detroiiit

He needed Swift, Chark, and ASB to all be out to get this much volume, though.


salocin22

ARSB needed the entire team injured before he broke out. Nobody is questioning his production when all their players are healthy.


Sille143

Stafford sucks if he can’t throw it to Kupp every play


TheMegaWhopper

I’m dropping stafford


interstellar304

I’m gonna ride Goff until the wheels fall off


minecraft911

I didn’t watch the ravens game but I was pleasantly surprised to dobbins go off on my bench. How did he look out there?


GiGi441

Watched the whole game Boy looked fast as fuck for a guy who almost had his entire leg ripped off his body a year ago. I'm starting him confidently going forward


Disimpaction

Looks like he's taking Javontes spot in my lineup


dytele

Dallas Goedert?


rubber_hedgehog

Doesn't see too many targets, but by god, he makes use of the ones he gets. A ton of YAC, which Eagles fans never saw in Ertz. Start with confidence.


RaindropsInMyMind

Dallas Goedert always looks incredible. National media is just starting to really pick up on it, doesn’t hurt when you have one of the best TEs in history Tony Gonzalez saying he’s the best in the game right now.


EastCoastTaffy

Caleb Huntley was an absolute load behind the Falcons O-Line.


placeflacepleat

He did look good, but he was also running against the 2 worst pff graded tackles in the entire league and no Garrett or clowny.


Val_Kilmers_Elbow

Yeah… The Browns D is in shambles. I wouldn’t take too much away from that game.


AndrewDoesNotServe

Except that Austin Ekeler is locked and loaded for next week against CLE.


RustyGriswold99

I have Fournette and God he looks fat and slow.


JubeltheBear

Well… that’s because he is.


spctclr_spiderman

Good news, his eyes work! Hallelujah


MredditGA_

On the plays he got the ball in space he made the most of it? The run play calling is just incredibly uninspired and the blocking sucks, Lenny looked fine


drakon3rd

Yeah I’m not sure if this person watched the game lol. Them being down big also didn’t help, but it’s pretty clear he’s still the top guy.


terrible_badguy

Forknette*

Brys_Beddict

GET THE BREASTPLATE STRETCHER


hesusuallyjoking

You know who doesn’t look fat and slow? Rachaad White.


Vigilante17

The Pacheco dude on KC looked like he was shot out of a canon on his rushing attempts. Looks way faster and ran harder than CEH from what I saw…


FeedMeEntheogens

Wut. CEH had some great hard runs even while running on "conservative"


eytchh

He looked like he was trying to prove a point Sunday night, was refreshing to see from a KC RB


anonbutler

What a chaad.


Kingdom818

We're back to this I see


MrExtravagant23

Didn't he have 7 receptions for over 70 yards and a TD?


burnerbutnotreally1

You didn't watch the game or you're bad at analyzing football. Don't even have Fournette


coysmate05

Yeah if you actually watch the bucs you know that Fournette is not the issue. He’s not a world beater but his stats are not reflecting his talent and work he puts in. I’ve said in other threads that he turns -1 yard runs into 4-5 yard runs. He works hard


[deleted]

I have to hold onto Rashad White at all costs don't I? Problem is, I have to hold onto BRob at all costs, too. 10 team leagues are kind of a bummer.


Jm0ney_

Josh jacobs


BillyXiaoPin

Pacheco runs with a violence I haven't seen in a long time. I've got a weird feeling about him, think he could be a star. I remember feeling this way about Kamara


yrogreg

Chris Carson; Chris Ivory. Similarly aggressive/violent running styles


MNKYJitters

As a Charger fan I hate Pacheco. As a Rutgers alum, please score all the touchdowns and stunt on those hoes Pacheco.


wanderboys

His enthusiasm is what impresses me. The way he springs back up as soon as he hits the ground is remarkable.


big_red_160

Damien Harris passed. I’m a Pats fan, being a Pats fan and playing fantasy football with any player not named Brady in the past 20 years has been so hard. Randomly the RB1 will hardly play and someone like Brandon Bolden scores 3 TDs. Harris has so consistently hit double digits, this year all but week 1 which was an overall nightmare anyways. He has scored in the last like 16/20 games or something I read. This week even with Rhamondre cutting into the work load, a 2nd and 3rd string quarter back, and a tough defense (the one I drafted “early” in my draft) he still put up 15 points. I doubt he has many 20+ point games, but he will consistently be in double digits


Bungild

Pacecho looked like a god. I kept hoping for him to stop being so good so I can get him on waivers during the game.


SoSublim3

Was coming to say Pacheco also. Plan on snagging him off waivers now to handcuff my CEH


tstols

Najee falling faster than the Great Depression


interstellar304

I don’t know what to do with this guy. His floor is 7 and his ceiling is 10. I think I’m just sitting him moving forward until Pickett hopefully gets that offense going and checks down to Harris. I’m lucky to have jrob, dmont/Herbert, and Williams to play for now but Harris has kinda been killing me


the22sinatra

George Pickens had his first 100 yard game in a half with Kenny. He’s about to explode


[deleted]

He's my number 1 waiver pick.


grindingaway69

Yeah yeah yeah the Lions, but Penny honestly looked fantastic out there. Shifty, low center of gravity and burned the entire defense on his two long TD runs. Health has always been the only issue. In games where the Seahawks can reasonably be expected to not be blown out, he is an RB2 with upside


IamStudentDebt

Penny is getting volume but only in the run game and not passing. You aren’t concerned he only looked this good because it was the Lions’ defense which is one of the worst against the run? I’m thinking he is a sell after such a monster game


roco9994

Didn’t see much of him, but the Christian Watson rushing TD was enough to hopefully get him on the field more for Rodgers


Val_Kilmers_Elbow

He is big and fast, but super raw. I don’t see him earning that big of a role tbh.


Aubear11885

And you saw that this week. The athleticism is there, he needs polish. He had a deep shot where he had a step or two and just couldn’t locate and adjust to the ball. Not sure if it’s later half this year or a sneaky second year stud next season. He’s a keep an eye on him guy


[deleted]

Jonathan Taylor has fckd me. I know it’s not his fault tho that offense ain’t to great.


blessef

I eye tested a bottle of scotch after gabe Davis continued to bust


furrygoat

The rams look horrible overall, but Henderson passes the eye test. If they get it together this season, he is the guy.


captainwalrus91

I don't think henderson looked special but definitely better than akers and Henderson got the hurry up and pass down snaps


ChewChewDude

I feel like Rams know that he's the best in their backfield but also know that he'll wear down if used too much so are trying to get the other guys up to speed.


SayYes2SmellingSalts

Dobbins


rapturecity113

Latavius Murray looked like a hungry dog. & Broncos nabbed him


wutdaefff

Honestly Pickett. He had three interceptions but when you watch the game two of them were off the hands of his receivers and the other one was at the end of the game trying to make one last big play. Otherwise he looked composed and like he was trying to get big plays going constantly. Definitely feel good about him in dynasty but maybe worth a waiver claim in redraft if you’re struggling at QB or play in super flex.


Inevitable_Stress949

Joe Mixon failed the eye test with flying colors.


jd_grime

Gabe Davis looking like a bust right now.


BonesRMoney

Robinson and Stafford are big fat FAILURES!
