Fantasy Football Podcast 2017 - Offseason Fantasy Questions, News & Notes

Um, actually, I have a note here. Based on your rankings? No, I have a note here, move Watkins down. So I'm going to be taking Devonte Adams. Brooks, who do you have? Oh, Brooks. Brooks, Brooks. Hopkins and Watkins. Hopkins. Hopkins and Adams. That's your first and last time answering a question, Brooks. That took a while, too. Uh-huh.

All right, this one comes in on Twitter from at David Gross 9. Any chance Perryman or Dixon can be dependable starters. Dixon, sure. There's absolutely a world where Dixon can be. There's a world where both could be. Yeah. Look at that, look at what's happened to that wide receiver core. Steve Smith is gone. Go on. Kamar Aiken's a free agent. Willis, Mike Wallace is in the clouds.

Yeah, but he's okay. I still like Mike Wallace for next year. But you're in a situation where that wide receiver core is just going to be completely rehalled. He's still a first round pedigree. We've seen some flashes of it. The Ravens are throwing the ball more than almost every single team in the league. I don't know if they are going to keep that up. But, yeah, Joe Flacko was number two in the league in completions and attempts.

So there's absolutely a world where Perman can be a reliable start. And what's nice about Perman is he will still be buried in the draft. He'll be one of those later round guys that you can take a nearly free shot on and move on if you have to. All right. Tommy Duffy at King TD 22 says at the FF Ballers, how do you occupy yourselves in this time of year?

Especially, especially for non-dynasties. There's too much to do, man. How do you occupy yourself in February for a non-dynastity player? I can tell you, testifying to our own activities, we are pouring ourselves into the development of the ultimate draft kit. That is a, you know, you got draft prospects right now, too, free agency and the NFL draft right on the horizon. So for us, we are trying to prepare the ultimate draft kit.

in its entirety. You know, we're building out all of our preseason rankings. We're building out our projection systems and all of those things. So we are certainly in the preparation mode. We had to buy Brooks a microphone. That took a while. I'm doing tons of data collection here, breaking things down. Like another stat here for Green Bay. They're wide receivers. The wide receivers for Green Bay were 85% scored 85% of the touchdowns.

for that team. Seems like a number that's going to regress. Does it? Yes. Who's going to run them in? Eddie Lacey. Is he? Sure. They had no running back this past year. Well, they had Montgomery who was actually a wider. He was a pretty good running back. I think he was over five a carry. I mean, he got it done. He just wasn't running them in because they say, why would we do that when you have Aaron Rogers?

He's a monster in the red zone. No, look, it's a really good fantasy football discussion to talk about the twos and threes on high-profile offenses and comparing that to, you know, the ones that have let you down for the entirety of the year, whether it's an Alan Robinson or Watkins or Hopkins, these guys that, even a guy like Pryor, right? Like, Pryor is the number one.

on that Browns team last year, but you had reliability issues. You couldn't count on touchdowns. It's a really, really good debate. We saw two years ago in 2015. You saw Green Bay. They brought James Jones back temporarily, and Aaron Rogers immediately makes James Jones relevant. The fear is less about, like the whole argument is right to me. I think someone will do that. I just don't know if it's Adams or Cobb again.

or a mysterious Geronimo Allison, or maybe it's Jared Cook. Like, it's just harder to predict, I think.

But it's a good debate. It's a good discussion. I'd want to hear what the Foot Clan has to say about that a little bit. Maybe share your thoughts on Twitter whether you'd rather put your stock in a guy like Hopkins or Watkins to be that breakout number one, 1, 1,500-yard guy, or rather you'd rather go the Eric Decker route and have that solid, consistent, you know, hope for DeMonte Adams. So that's an interesting question to me. Yeah, I agree. I mean, it's a real question mark. This last year you saw the top-level wide receivers.

score less touchdowns, and the wide receiver two and three score more touchdowns, just looking at going back 10 years. That was the trend that kind of broke the way of the second and third wide receivers. When you saw running back scoring a lot more too. And there are other players that fall into this category than Devante Adams. I mean, Dante Moncrief probably falls into that category, a player who is a prolific quarterback situation.
