Wrong kind of fantasy sir.

@@FantasyFootballIndex Or the right one, amirite?

Tough question. My official answer is gonna have to be nobody; the Commanders have seemingly deliberately assembled a cast of 'super subs' at receiver, none of whom have been asked to step up for more than a quarter or two at a time so far - and that has worked out pretty well. Through four weeks Daniels has thrown it 23-30 times a game and is not pushing the ball deep to anybody but McLaurin, and letting this group of misfit toys pitch in for 30 yards here, 45 yards there is giving the passing game a 'greater than the sum of its parts' effect. That being said, if somebody steps up that will change and Olamide Zaccheaus putting 6 catches for 85 yards in barely a quarter's worth of snaps last week in Washington's surprise beatdown of the Cardinals is easily the biggest statement any of the other guys have yet made. In a wide open passing game with an ascendant QB, he's worth a turn on waiver wires tonight. But if the Commanders win their next game or two it's also quite possible that Washington trades for reinforcements. 'Davante Adams to DC' rumors will definitely be hot and heavy for the next couple weeks...

Certainly hope it isn't *that* long before McCaffrey is back! But even if he winds up missing half the season, getting CMC for Chandler is an absolutely incredible heist. Very, very nicely done!!

The results weren't what we were looking for, and seeing Diggs monopolize the short stuff made it doubly frustrating. But Dell saw downfield targets and air yards that were dead even with Nico Collins - I'm actually marking him *up* a little on what I saw from Houston in Week 1 (Luke here by the way, proud Dell skeptic).

You move fast sir! May have some seller's remorse incoming with Cooper; he's pretty resilient against crummy surroundings. But Hubbard certainly appears to be trapped in a potential repeat (or actually three-peat) disaster offense in Carolina, hard to blame anybody for hitting the ejector seat there if there were appealing alternatives available. Either way, good luck this weekend amigo!

It's the darnedest thing: Turns out the kid's a wiz with this rankings stuff! We'll pull him back over to the podcast end of things if he cools off, but we gotta ride the hot hand here.

It was indeed. Seeing Lamar Jackson both go relatively pass-happy with 41 attempts and 20 of those flowing through "backups" Isaiah Likely and Justice Hill was well outside our forecast here; I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's been awhile since we saw a Ravens running back catch six balls in a game. Bateman did see five looks though, and managed to avert a total disaster with that nifty 37-yarder to put the Ravens on the doorstep at the end, and Lamar targeted him in the endzone on another deep ball. But no doubt about it: Likely's emergence is real, and I'm revising Bateman's targets back down.

You play like the Bengals did this week and you're liable to get called a lot worse!

Sounds like your brother could throw a football about a quarter mile.

Typo correction: their *lighter* run focused 2nd half

You got it amigo, thanks for letting us weigh in!

Sorry about that, added a fresh invite link guys!

Should be in the video details section now, but will drop it here too. Thanks Russ discord.gg/9sBFX2FJ

Ep. 6: Colt & Luke Do Accents For 45 Minutes

Thanks bub! After Jefferson you pick the next one: Breece, AJB, Gibbs, Nacua, G-Wil or Taylor?

Much appreciated! We are looking forward to bringing some player dives in the weeks ahead.

Agreed. We're assuming Zack Moss is going to lead the way in this backfield, and he very well might - but Moss is currently running around 30 picks ahead of Brown in redraft ADP right now based on pure guesswork. Definitely really like the inherent value in Brown at his current price!

That's a toughie. In a vacuum the value is on the draft picks side, and they would also diversify your risk quite nicely. But if you're in it to win it in 2024 then that has to be taken into consideration too, Kyren can definitely be the difference between a 1st and 2nd place finish come December. But if we're just talking value then I would cautiously side with the draft picks side and hope for Javonte to regain control of things in Denver. Hope this helps!

Agreed. Don't really understand how people will penalize him for being in bad/inefficient Raiders offense in years past - but will give Saquon a pass for the same thing since he's going into the Eagles' offense. Don't add up!

Will reduce face going forward - thanks Gary!

Howdy king_kat! Yeah I’m still fairly high on him. I predicted that even with Mixon on his way out in Cincy that they’d pair somebody with Brown for 2024, and I think Zack Moss was not bad news for Brown - he wasn’t gonna see 18 carries a game yet anyway, so a guy like Moss who is coming off of a resurgent 2023 himself looks to me like basically a 50/50 split. If Brown can be as efficient as I believe he can then you definitely want to grab him in the 10th-12th in 12 team leagues this year.

Thanks! If we're on the same page with the IDPC crowd then that's a good sign.

beat me to it

It's situations like these that make us question our fantasy sports-related life choices.

Obviously the recent developments on Rashee Rice's availability for 2024 have thrown a wrench into forecasting how the Chiefs approach the draft. I would still lean against it at the moment; even if Rice receives a significant suspension (or worse) the Chiefs are 'Super Bowl or bust' once again this year and would seem to have the 'diminutive burner' role covered with the Hollywood Brown signing. Granted he's on a one-year deal, but if they do go wide receiver in the first three rounds I wouldn't necessarily expect them to want someone with a somewhat redundant skill set when they're trying to go make it three Lombardis in a row.

Chill man. TIDPC has treated us well so far. It's just a fun tag line I guess

@@BlakeShwartz It's complete bs. Sure it's a fun tag line but gives insight into their character. Don't trust them anymore

"Cheaters" is a play on our yearly Cheatsheet Rankings.

Bold strategy Cotton!

Great metrics! I do think that the YAC was partially a function of the aDOT, the amount they had him crossing shallow definitely lends itself to a fair amount of catch & run - but you do have to have some actual ability to go get that YAC, which Rice definitely does. I would tentatively think that his YAC/R pulls back but his aDOT compensates for that and they get him working a bit further down the field going forward, but whatever - Rice is awesome and we want him.

Might want to google "backhanded compliment", but glad that you liked it perfect stranger!

@@FantasyFootballIndex it's all good ;)
