FA Frenzy + Big Questions, Who Am I?

where teams focused on Keenan Allen, and he could get deep for a play here or there. What are your expectations for Mr. Tyrell Williams, Mr. 21 yards per reception highest in the NFL from week five on? Who do you think is better at just running nines, just stretching the field, you know, a nine or a deep post, something like that that's just taking the top or the, you know, off the defense? Tyrol Williams or Martavis Bryant. Hmm. I would say Tyrell Williams. Yeah.

probably tie by a wide margin or is it close it's hard for me to evaluate martavis anymore to be honest with you sure i mean he was a once upon a time i would have said martin i would say it's close because i think that

you actually have to honor that Tyrell can do other things besides run the nine. But my point is I think that he is coming in to replace Martavis. Now, Martavis only played in eight games last year, but that's the role that was put there by Gruden and Greg Olson. And I, nobody was happy with it. Nobody was starting Martavis Bryant as a player. And I think that you're going to see a lot of this with Tyrol Williams. Will he have his big couple of games where he does?

catch a deep bomb and take it to the house? Sure. I mean, you had three for 91 for Martavis Bryant and week four last year. You'll have some of those, but I think this is really bad for Tyrell Williams. I mean, if you can capitalize in a dynasty league because he just got paid a lot of money, he's on this new offense. Not everybody out there thinks Derek Carr is a bad quarterback. So I think you can get trade value for him now. Mike, Tyrell Williams this year.

on the Raiders versus Tyro Williams last year on the Chargers. Which one would you rather have? Tyroo Williams last year. All right. That's a funny question, though. He's a talented player, but they also added J.J. Nelson, who by the way, weighs 161 pounds. Got a one year one. I remember when I. One year, $1 million deal, also known as $6,211 per pound.

Stunning analysis. If it was per pound. He's one of the highest paid players in the league. Yeah. So JJ Nelson, he's a field stretcher as well. Look, it's going to be... If you're curious in Arizona, Ron Wolfley, one of the announcers for Arizona, refer to him as Skeletor. If you want a context. Yes. You want objective context for his size. It's funny because he is about the same...

size and speed as our children no well not speed but same size as hollywood brown one of my favorite incoming rookie wide receivers he is what scares me from because i love marquis hollywood brown he he is an awesome player i think he will succeed but i think we're just i give j j nelson

I'm just giving him crap because I loved him. If he could catch the ball, that's the problem. It's not the weight. Deshaun Jackson's 175 pounds. I mean, it seemed like JJ Nelson was turning into somebody in the NFL and just his hands said no. All right. Here is an interesting deal that we need to, yeah, I get it. We need to break this one down because the money says so. Adam Humphreys. Oh, how would one pronounce that? Still with an Humphreys.

It's more like an oom-freeze. Yeah, four-year, $36 million. Oom-freeze. This is a payday for a guy that hasn't been at the top of the ladder. Good work, Adam. I mean, second best catch rate among wide receivers over the last two years. Probably doesn't get enough recognition. By the way, 73%. 105 targets last year in Tampa. Does he come close to that in Tennessee? No, it doesn't.

He won't come close, and it won't matter. Now, he was paid a lot of money. Apparently there were teams like New England, bidding. Everything I just said would have been completely different if he went to New England. This is based on him going to the Titans. I mean, Marcus Marietta has not proven to. Where are you with Marcus Marietta? Now that you went through the season of being kind of slow punched in the face. Yes. Marcus Mariotas had some highs, some lows.

And wasn't that how it felt? Yeah, it felt like that. It did. Yeah, I look, I mean, Mariotta is not a volume quarterback and he's not the most accurate quarterback. That seems like what Adam Humphreys needs. He needs those short routes right on target in stride with volume. Does this hurt anybody else on that offense? I don't, I think it helps the offense. Yeah, I don't think it hurts anybody else. I mean, to have Adam Humphreys on your team for third down, that's, that's a big deal.

Bottom five and pass attempts the last two years. Oh, gross. Speaking of not that at all, Dante Moncrief, sneakily signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Oh, Dante. And everything that we said about not liking Humphries in Tennessee are reasons to like Moncrief in Pittsburgh, namely pass attempts and vacated targets. You lost Antonio Brown. There are 226 vacated targets. You also lost Jesse James.

and they led the league in pass attempts. They are the absolute opposite of Tennessee's offense. And yes, you know, Juju Smith-Schuster is going to be the alpha. Sure. But Dante Moncrief comes in as an established NFL wide receiver, big play potential, and James Washington coming into a second year, very unproven player. Is Dante Moncrief more value? Let me ask you this. Would you rather have Dante Moncrief or Tyrell Williams? Moncrief. Moncrief.

Doodle. Moncrief. All right. Ask another question. Moncrief is sneaky. All right. Would you take Moncrief or Adam Humphreys? Moncrief. All right. The question is very fair, though, of Dante Moncrief or James Washington, who's going to get kind of that priority, the first shot at the role? James Washington, he was a second round pick. Am I remembering that correctly?

Yes. So, I mean, that's high draft capital for a wide receiver. Moncrief did have his games where when he has competent quarterback play, Dante Moncrief can succeed. He can't transcend bad quarterback play. And while the attempt numbers by Big Ben last year are very alluring, I do expect those to come way down. They have to. But Moncrief is still.

Very interesting in this offense. If this was a redraft league, I would probably still draft Moncrief ahead of James Washington. In a dynasty, the youth, the age, all that, I would lean towards James Washington. Moncrief, I don't think Moncrief's going to end up drafted very high at all. No, he won't. I think he's going to be somebody who, no matter how much we talk about him, his value will stay. Moncrief is three years older than James Washington. Yeah.

That's crazy. It feels like he should be about eight years older. It's because he's three teams older than James Washington. He's making the rotation through the NFL. He's a rental receiver right now. And he's making money doing it. Devante Parker, surprise resigning with the Miami Dolphins. We should have thrown this up. I mentioned it before. But two-year, $10 million deal. There's no more Adam Gaze who did not like Devante Parker. And Devante Parker was a high draft capital investment. They want to give him some more time slash tank. The fact.

that Devante Parker re-signed. I mean, that was shocking because the dolphins hated Devante Parker. They wouldn't let him play. They said he was gone. And, yeah, everyone said he's gone. And then you realize it's because of the butthole. Adam Gaze was the one who didn't like, I mean, Adam Gays, 100% was the problem with, with Devante Parker. I think Devante Parker is someone I would take a...

you know, a flyer shot. No, Jason. No. Do you have him in Dynasty? No, I don't. Oh, I thought you did. I would gladly trade him to you if I had him. But that's my point is I think I could get him for borderline free. Yes, you can't. And I would take a shot at a player like that where you're going to have Fitzpatrick coming in, throwing to wide receivers, and I think he has a chance. But I was shocked he was resigned with Miami.

Well, it's a smart move by the team because he was in that fifth year option where he was basically going to be a one year $13 million player. And now he's under contract for two years, $10 million because they said we're going to cut you. He's in the exact same situation that Nelson Aguilar is in Philadelphia. And that's why there are a lot of rumors about Nelson Aguilar being sent, being traded, negotiating some sort of multi-year deal to take the cap hit down.

There was talk this weekend about him going to San Francisco. It'll be interesting to see what happens because there will be more moves before the NFL drive. To be fair, I think all the rumors about San Francisco are really just the fact that they thought they signed Nelson Agalore because they brought in a wide receiver from the Eagles. And then after Jordan Matthews signed, they went, ah, crap. Not the same one. We thought you were Nelson. We thought you were Nelson.

Let's talk a little bit about Jameson Crowder. It's pronounced Crowder. Yes, three-year, $28.5 million deal with the Jets. All of our jokes are just saying someone's last name funny. He's a great piece with the Robbie Anderson, Quincy and Noon, offense, Sam Darnold. I think he only helps. He helps Sam Darno more than Sam Darno more than Sam Donald helps him. I agree. I'm not very interested in Carter. Does he demolish her or help Quincy and Noon.

I don't think he really does much of anything. I feel like he's got to hurt Quincy's value. Because where Quincy last year, at least with Donald, was making his hay was really in the short passing game. So I don't know, maybe Crowder can be valuable enough. But, you know, Crowder's past success when people were really high on Crowder, I think a lot of that was due to his touchdown volume he had.

which was surprising. Certainly. What do you have seven or eight that one year? Yeah. And I think the fact that that touchdown volume was surprising might just, that might be the answer. Like, oh, he shouldn't have had this many touchdowns. We have, he probably won't score that many touchdowns. We have this problem with slot receivers in fantasy football where like when some of them hit the unknown lower names, it's like we imbue that to like half of the league.

And they rarely pan out. Fantasy production from the slot, touchdowns from the slot, those are the Jarvis Landrys of the world, or the Julian Edelman's. It's very rare. I mean, it's the Amadolos. Am I right, guys? Am I right? Nope. All right, some quick signings at the wide receiver position. Philip Dorset, resigned by the Patriots. Bruce Ellington, brought in by the Patriots. They also signed Maurice Harris. Did that happen? Was that an official thing? Yes.

Okay. Yes. Formerly of the Redskins, keep an eye on who ascends and moves around the depth chart in New England. You never know. Jordan Matthews, one-year deal with the 49ers, Geronimo Allison, a one-year deal to stay with the Packers. That one is interesting. That one matters. Yes, that one absolutely matters. At the beginning of the year, Geronimo, Allison was a very usable guy for fantasy.

Marquez, Valdez, Scantling, Equanimia St. Brown, those guys did not step up. Jamone! Jamon Moore, now, granted, those guys were rookies. They can absolutely move forward. They can step up. But it's drawn to his job. Through the first four games before he got injured, I know that's a very, very small sample. You're doing four games. But he was successful. He was, he was successful.

doing good work. He was on pace for 116 targets, 76 receptions, 1156 yards, and eight touchdowns. He was a valuable fantasy asset, and now he's got another year. Aaron Rogers trusts him. I like Geronimo. He'll be a guy that I'll look for in drafts. All right, Danny Mandola, signed by the Lions one-year deal. We mentioned it on the Tuesday podcast. Could have some opportunity there, the way Bruce Ellington did last season. He will.

I don't know if his body will allow him to take said opportunity. I don't know how many hit points he's acquired over the offseason. Look, he says he's in the best shape of his life. It doesn't matter, though. I mean, if you lead the, he led a team last year with 79 targets. So my point is just that if there's, if there's not a lot, you know, they're a running team. They want to run the football. We'll see. I know you believe he's the best. No, I'm just the best that's ever been around. Bradshaw Perryman, Chris Conley.

Perryman of the Buccaneers, Conley to the Jags. Let's talk about quarterbacks. We had the breaking news, Nick Folls, signed by the Jags, four-year, $88 million deal. We haven't talked a lot about that offense, but you look at the wide receiver core with Nick Foles. He's going to have Keel and Cole. He's going to have Marquis Lee back from injury. Yeah, Markis Lee. The one who got the contract. And he's going to have Dedy Westbrook. So he has some weapons there.
