darin3 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Lots of speculation for certain players landing with certain teams. Let's talk about their best FANTASY landing spots. I'll start: Bijan Robinson Speculation that he's going to the Eagles, maybe the Lions or Chargers? I am on the fence with him pairing up with Jalen Hurts. That's a lot of vultured TDs by the QB. But Bijan in that offense could be slick. He'd catch a good number of balls out of the backfield but like I said, the TD potential could be limited. Lions? I don't like it. He'd be in a timeshare with Swift and both can catch the ball. Now, if he goes to the Bolts one could surmise that Ekeler would be traded, in which case Bijan would instantly become a RB1 in fantasy. As a UT fan and Bijan owner in a Devy league, I'm hoping that the Bolts are able to get him at #21 or move up to ensure they get him.

darin3 Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 How about... Anthony Richardson I'll say Seattle. Or maybe Colts. With Seattle he'll have a year to learn under Geno Smith. With Indy it'd be Gardner Minshew but would probably be rushed onto the field faster than in Seattle. For Indy though you have a HC who knows how to utilize this type of QB. This guy is gonna be a fantasy god.... part Cam Newton, part Jalen Hurts, part Lamar Jackson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 If Bijan goes to the Eagles, Hurts' days getting GL carries are the thing that will be limited as they'll be running Big B up in there. Bijan going to the Chargers would be ideal if Ekeler is traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 It's hard to recall any recent rookie that has generated more hype and hope than Bijan Robinson. He is a trending topic on Twitter almost daily. I half expect a team to move up to get him but it's really hard to wade through all the conjecture and opinion to see where he will be taken. The Cowboys also want and need him. The Falcons are another spot where he is a perfect fit for what Arthur Smith wants and had when he was the OC in TEN with Derrick Henry. RBs are certainly devalued now, but mostly for their second contract that rarely goes well. Get a rookie RB and run him ragged for far less money makes some sense.

Could there be a surprise and Richardson goes to the Texans at #2?! He is more polished as a pocket passer than I think he's being given credit for and I think the natural ability and traits that he possesses are worth the risk. Therefore, I agree with you that, him being cyborg-ish, a mix of Newton, Hurts, and Jackson will make him a fantasy god. Other possible landing spots : Titans, Colts, Seahawks.

The Texans have to be smart. They have holes everywhere and "should" probably go with the "safe and smart" pick in Stroud. But I actually wouldn't be too shocked if they swung for the fences with Richardson. I could see the Titans too; I know they've been shopping Tannehill and even though they spent a 3rd on Willis last year, it's pretty evident that he's a project. So is Richardson, but the oozing upside may be too much to ignore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 There's a lot of buzz about Stroud and his low S2 score. Will Levis is also gaining momentum, I think he can make it in the league if he improves his field vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speed at which plays, which are typically much more complex, develop and the ability to see and process that in an instant. I think that's one of the biggest reasons so many top level QBs ultimately don't pan out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I doubt any NFL scouts are getting their information from you, besides the post link says only that some results that were leaked were not correct, not which ones, not Stroud specifically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Texans really need a QB. They should take a high value position there. If not a QB, then an edge (Anderson) or corner (Witherspoon).

gilthorp Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 If I am Houston, I hold back 1 year for their QB. Anderson and WR would be the route to go this year, or Edge and DL, or Edge and CB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kind of have to find something to look at this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 2 real NFL blue chippers coming out next year. That's all I'm saying. It would be smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
