Deep dives
Devontae Adams vs. Garrett Wilson: Trade Impact
Devontae Adams and Garrett Wilson are closely analyzed regarding their potential performance impact following recent trades. The discussion highlights that Adams has better chemistry with Aaron Rodgers and is likely to receive more goal-line opportunities compared to Wilson, despite Wilson's current high target numbers. As both players are valuable fantasy options, Adams is viewed as a lower-end WR1, while Wilson is expected to drop into a WR2 position. The intricate dynamics of their respective offenses, including challenges they may face, particularly with defensive attention and potential injuries, are also considered.
Amari Cooper's Transition to the Bills
Amari Cooper's move from the Browns to the Bills is perceived as a significant opportunity due to the change in quarterback from a struggling Deshaun Watson to the more efficient Josh Allen. It is discussed that Cooper's impact might not be immediate, as he needs to assimilate into a new system, which may not alter the Bills' low-volume passing game. However, with target competition diminishing for Cooper, his potential is viewed positively. The implications for other players at both the Buffalo and Cleveland sides of the trade are also examined, forecasting shifts in their target shares.
David Njoku and Cleveland's Offensive Outlook
With Amari Cooper’s exit from the Browns, David Njoku is expected to benefit significantly due to the opening up of targets in the Cleveland offense. Analysts believe that if the starting quarterback situation changes, which seems likely given Deshaun Watson's poor performance, Njoku's effectiveness can further increase. Njoku is projected to claim a high target share, potentially nearing that of elite tight ends. Despite concerns about Watson's ongoing struggles, the overall schedule and matchup considerations provide a cautiously optimistic outlook for Njoku.
Lions Offense: Buy Low or Hold?
The performance of the Lions offense raises questions about its sustainability, especially with its distribution of targets among multiple players. Recent inefficiencies are noted, which could create opportunities for buy-low scenarios on key offensive players like Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jahmyr Gibbs. The greater potential for shootouts, stemming from recent defensive plays, hints that even as touches are spread out, the Lions could yield substantial fantasy points. Investors in Lions' assets are encouraged to remain patient or take advantage of potential buy-low opportunities.
Anthony Richardson's Rest of Season Outlook
Anthony Richardson's potential to deliver top fantasy quarterback numbers is acknowledged, despite recent inconsistencies and injury concerns. The discussion focuses on his unique ability to generate high point totals even during underwhelming performances, tapping into the dual-threat nature of his playing style. As the Colts prioritize developing Richardson through the season, the expectation remains that he will solidify a starting role and leverage his big-play ability once health permits. Overall, maintaining Richardson in any fantasy quarterback roster is recommended given his ceiling potential.
