The addition of Dallas Turner was nice but he may take a little while to acclimate to the NFL. Jonathan Greenard is an adequate 2nd DL but if he's seeing constant double teams he won't be able to pressure the QB much. Rest of the defense is average at best so yes I agree that they may be playing from behind a bit.
Fine with that, production-wise for Jefferson, if that happens. Either QB will be feeding him the ball. Only thing that concerns me a tad, though, is the downfield target share. I think Cousins was better at the deeper ball than either Darnold or McCarthy.
Jefferson as WR5 baffles me. Yes he'll have a rookie QB throwing to him and will be competing for targets with a capable Jordan Addison and solid TJ Hockenson, but that offense is going to still funnel through him and I don't see his stats dipping low enough to warrant taking him as the fifth WR off the board. I can see CeeDee going ahead of him, but I'd slot JJ at WR2 for the season. Maybe I'm totally bonkers.
I heard on SiriusXM that Netflix will likely be a major player in the next few years. They've slowly - but surely - moved into the "live TV" arena (like the Tom Brady roast) and clearly have the bankroll to throw their hat in. Eventually the NFL will be on like 8 different platforms and it's going to cost the consumer more to be able to watch these games. Sucks. More is not always better.
What a complete idiot. Glad I went and drafted Worthy in a league where I have Rice. Looks like Rice is doing his best to get kicked out of the league or at least suspended for an entire season.
Absolutely. He may do nothing all season or he could be bye week filler or he could absolutely blow up if one of those other two WRs go out with a serious injury.
I'm not saying he's going to return to the OBJ of old, but he did have 35 catches for 565 yards and 3 TDs (in 14 games) as the third option on a run-first Baltimore squad last year.
Move him to the pass-happy Dolphins and you could see maybe 50-60 catches for 800-900 yards and 5-6 TDs. And heck if either Hill or Waddle go down with an injury those numbers could swell.
Worth a shot in pretty much all league but 8-teamers, IMO.
You think either of those guys profile as a true #1? I don't know, I would think AD Mitchell profiles more as a lead #1. Either way, whoever BUF takes here (I'd bet it's WR) is going to shoot up the rookie rankings boards because they'll get close to 100 targets Year One.
