Fantasy Football 2018 - Free Agency Preview + Fantasy Valentines

unrestricted free agent so he could leave. He could come back on a prove-a-deal, too. We'll see. Jacksonville? Yeah. They're going to have some guys leave in town. Mark Eastley, Alan Robinson could leave. I don't expect them both to leave, but. I expect Alan Robinson to be franchised, but you're right. I think Mark Eastley moves on. Washington? Hmm. They could use a weapon for Alex Smith that isn't Josh Doxon, only Josh Doxon. They're not going to bring back the real prior. No.

If you can't see me, but you can't because you're listening to me. I'm shaking my head. Who, what team out there is going to go sign Terrell Pryor? Now at 29 coming off of that season to be their solution at wide receiver. Well, he won't be a solution, but if you can bring in. Complementary player. If you could bring Torel Pryor in for a veteran minimum one deal. Got it. Maybe he goes back. All right.

Those are some of the teams, and there's obviously a number of other ones. Green Bay could be in the market for another wide receiver at a bargain price, Kansas City, Carolina, Dallas. Here are the top available free agents at the wide receiver position. Why don't you guys tell me the best fit for these teams and where you think they'll end up? Sammy Watkins, Jarvis Landry, they're the headliners. Maybe throw Alan Robinson in there. Mike, you said you thought Alan Robinson's going back to Jacksonville at 24 years old. Yeah, Alan Robinson is the headliner.

here for me, even coming off of the ACL injury. He's the guy who I would want out of these three. Really? Yeah. 100%. I would take, I would rather have Jarvis Landry on my ball club. I love Jarvis Landry. I think he's an excellent football player, but the best thing for Jarvis and for fantasy football is he goes back to Miami. I believe that's growing a weaker and weaker option by the day. But I don't just.

I don't see a perfect fit for Jarvis Landry anywhere where he's going to get the targets and the receptions that we're used to. Jason brought up the fact on our 10 Things to Remember show that a lot of these free agents where they landed, it didn't work out. I mean, Terrell Pryor is a great example of that. Alan Robinson broke out a couple of years ago, struggled the following year with Blake Borrells to replicate that season, then is injured.

You really like him more than a Sammy Watkins or a Jarvis Landry? Yes. I think his ceiling is much higher. Because he's more, why do you like him more than Watkins? Let's put it that way. Well, Watkins, speaking of injuries, Sammy Watkins frequents the medical tent. Alan Robinson is just a more, he's just a better route runner, and we've seen it. I think also factors into me.

into my decision of Alan Robinson. We've seen a 1,400. You've seen the ceiling? We've seen 1,400 and 1414 touchdowns. And that's with Blake Bortles. I mean, I had no disrespect. Of course, ever. I will never disrespect the snake. But he put up 1,400 yards with Blake Bortles. You actually kind of startled me with those numbers. Alan Robinson. I forgot how good they were.

Yeah. And if you can get Alan Robinson on the chief, I've seen some people. I can get Alan Robinson right now for the 107. And I'm like, yes, go do it. Get him. Yeah, I think Alan Robinson is probably the best player here. Sammy Watkins right there with him, though, 24. Add in Jarvis Landry, those are the three. That's a tier where it's like, okay, if you want to go after one of the best, you know, top end wide receivers to help your team.

that's the three that you're looking at. Everybody else is a step down to me. These lower tier guys are actually very interesting. Oh, they'll help teams. And a lot of times you see the lower tier guys making a change that actually helps them more. You know, Robert Woods last year, change teams and was able to, you know, ascend to the next level. The interesting spot for me with these big guys, the big guns, is actually Indianapolis. They have a ton of cap room.

If they decide a Dante Moncrief, maybe he was really not that great. Now, Moncrief's only 25, so he's another intriguing free agent. But without Andrew Luck, he showed he wasn't all that great. In fact, he was pretty terrible last year. But if you added Sammy Watkins, you know what I mean? And you have Sammy Watkins on one side, T.Y. Hilton on the other side. Or Jarvis Landry, if you want a guy, although I think T.Y. Hilton. He plays the slot a lot. Yeah, exactly. So, you know, I would love to see Sammy.

you know, go to Indy and play with a great quarterback. But I think Jarvis Landry is the only guy of these three. I expect to change teams. All right. Other notable free agents that could land around the NFL. Marquise Lee, 26 years old. Paul Richardson has a chance to go get a deal at 25. He had a pretty good season. Charles Pryor, he'll be 29 when the season starts. He's 28 right now. I got a guy that I know. Jordan Matthew. Yes. I was just going to say you talked about San Francisco.

Trying to fill a void. Jordan Matthews going there to man the slot. No, that's how you sign a void. You actually sign a void. Your hatred for Jordan Matthews makes no sense to me. It's only based on his production. I think he's a, well, you can't say based on his production. His first two years, he's one of the most productive wide receivers of all time. So.

He had back-to-back thousand yards seasons. No, hyperbolic much? Your way, you're way over. No, he had the eight touchdowns. Yes, he had 16 touchdowns his first two years, 87-804. Yeah, a little hyperbolic. This last year he stunk, but what was his quarterback situation? Greatest of all time. Go. How good was Robert Woods with, you know.

Tyrod Taylor. But Jordan Matthews to Jimmy GQ in San Francisco would be great. Or to Mitchell Tribusky in Chicago. I think that would be another fit. Maybe. As much as I like Matthews, I don't think he can be a one. And so if you put him in Chicago, he would have to be the de facto. Is Cam Meredith coming back? I hope so. Cam Meredith is. He's an unrestricted free agent, right? Is it unrestricted or restrictive? Restricted. Oh, he is restricted. Okay. So he's a restrictive free agent.

It will be interesting. He'll probably get tendered at an original deal. And nobody's going to sign him because he's coming off the injury. Yeah. So he'll be back. Other notable free agents, Kendall Wright, John Brown, Mike Wallace, Eric Decker. Oh, yeah. Taylor Gabriel. Taylor Gabriel. I think he's a good piece. He's fast. If you're looking for speed, I mean, certainty and things. If you're looking for speed, why would you not get Dante Moncrief up in there? Just saying. Because he's going to be hurt.

Well, possibly. But just saying if you're paying for speed, I would pay for Moncrief, who's much younger. Adam Humphreys, Willie Sneed, Cameron Meredith, Tyrell Williams, Quincy and Noon and Eli Rogers are the six restricted free agents we have in this list. Tyrol Williams is interesting. His role, his situation there could change with Mike Williams Ascension. You obviously have Keenan Allen, who, by the way, credit to Keenan Allen, comeback player of the year. Yeah.

Great job. Because he's great. Way to come back. Don't. We're hoping for a comeback player of the year for Jason next year. I'm hoping for a Keenan Allen don't leave award because I don't want to come back. Just. Oh, you don't want him to be eligible for a comeback player of the year again? Yes. Don't leave me again, Keenan. I need you. Yeah. Well, okay. So of those destinations for wide receivers that we talked about, what do you look at as the highest upside potential? Like a place that can take a.

wide receiver one in and then translate that to great fantasy production. Because ultimately, look, you look at San Francisco, I know you're going to bring up, you know, Jimmy G. That contract. I think Pierre Garsohn comes back and is pretty dark productive. But that's what I'm saying. If you have if you have Garsohn and Goodwin on the outside and then you put gigantic slot receiver Jordan Matthews, maybe for fantasy, it's not that enticing, but I think for San Francisco's offense would be a great move. Are we ignoring?

Buffalo in the offseason discussion just because we don't know who their quarterback is going to be. I mean, is Buffalo possibly great destination? Calvin Benjamin's there. Completely depends on their quarterback. I mean, if they end up landing, you know, Kirk Cousins out of the blue shockingly, which I mean, it's not going to happen. Then all of a sudden you go, oh, the wide receiver options matter, but I don't see them landing someone great. I'd love to see Moncrief landing Carolina and run that. It's definitely interesting. Read that Ted Ginroll that they've needed.

Buffalo, getting into the playoffs, Buffalo has put themselves into a position where they might be forced to just hold on to Tyrod Taylor despite all signs that they would love to cut him because they can get out of that contract. It's not a zero dead cap situation, but they can get out of it. But then who plays quarterback for them? It's going to be.

one of those lower tier free agent guys that we talked about. Does Bradford end up in Buffalo? Maybe. Maybe it is the cold. The cold's good for your joints, right? That's what I hear. I've got my trail prior destination. I think I know where he's going. I figured it out. Hit me. He's going to play for the Dallas Cowboys. Oh. Oh. That's what I predict. Oh, man. I predict Terrell prior to Dallas. Jason's writing it down.

Dallas is a team that he's going to have to come to terms with and has come to terms with Des Bryant not being the same player that he was. And I think they're going to do what they can to put DAC in a position to succeed. And for some reason, they're going to think that's trail prior. Yeah, that's my prediction. Fair enough. And you guys realize we're officially, officially on Jeff Janus Watch. Oh, my goodness. Why are we on Jeff Janus Watch? Because he's an unrestricted free agent. He's finally free.

He's finally free. Did you find his application on Monster? I mean, what? Well, because he's a great metric guy. He's an excellent graphic designer. His metrics are great, but I mean, look, if you've had the entire first part of your career playing alongside Aaron Rogers and you have no, you can't get on the field, you can't produce. Jeff Janice. Danny Amadol is a free agent this year. Wonder if he'll be back in New England. Well, Julian Edelman, his health.

is on track right now. So, yeah, that'll be interesting to see if they, if they spend there. You expect Quincy and Nguile to be back in New York, bait coming off the injury? I, as a restricted free agent. I don't think they have a choice. With the roster that they have up in New York, they have to have Quincy. All right, let's conclude this free agent preview with the tight-in position. Some big names out there. Jimmy Graham, a free agent, not expected back in Seattle. Tyler Eifert.

27, not expected back in Cincinnati. My favorite free agent tied in is Trey Burton. Yes. Who's going to get paid and is nestled so comfortably on my dynasty bench. Yes, that's nice. May have to make him my late show Valentine. Oh, it's the late show Valentine. Oh, 26 years old, so athletic. Go land on a team that needs you.

Tray Boo Boo. Austin Safarian Jenkins is also interesting. He's only 25 years old. I mean, he is a young guy who got his life together. And, you know, this last year... I put him 99% to go back to New York, though. They need a pass catcher there. And I think he's going back to the Jets. I agree. I don't think you'll hit the market. But I, he is interesting because his age from...

Somehow when players dominate the headlines the way they do and they change teams, you almost build in a couple extra years to their age sometimes. DeMarco Murray even is younger than we think he is because he's played for three teams now. And it'll be interesting to see where Trey Burton goes. He's going to get paid. In my opinion, he'll get the best long-term deal of any free agent tied in. That's what I would estimate. Somebody like Eifert and Graham, Ifert, you may see him sign a one-year deal.

A health deal? I would make him prove it. And then Jimmy Graham, I would expect about a one-year deal there too. And I would expect Jimmy Graham to land with a contender. That's what I would believe. Later in his career, still productive in the red zone, I would think Jimmy Graham would land on a team like Green Bay or like New Orleans to go back home. Oh, go to Green Bay, get everyone all flustered. And then I got to get Jimmy Graham.

That tied in for him. Hey, Martel has been. It was absolutely. Yeah, we can go through the list. Dominant. Please. Oh, that would be great because that's just a player that I don't have to draft. That other people will draft too high. Exactly. Those are the best players. Does Tyler, I. Although the same is true with New Orleans. He goes to the Saints. He's going to be overdrafted as well. If he goes to the Saints, he's going to catch a lot of touchdown. Actually, you know, I think I just realized he's going to be overdrafted.

Yeah. It just, it's a team agnostic here. It doesn't matter. His name is better than he is at this point. Look, there's a new Jimmy G in town. We just need to retire the old one. Oh, far more handsome. Far, far more handsome. Handsomeness pushes. If Jimmy Garoflo. What if Tyler Eifer went to San Francisco and you had a Jimmy.
