It’s amazing that the Browns, the NFL laughing stock, could totally change its fortunes in less than a year by ditching a media-beloved, stunning failure of a head coach and getting a franchise QB the most in the media and analyst realm thought was a mistake.
Bryan Edwards is arguably the most talented all-around, professional WR in this draft…a modern-day Andre Johnson…a more athletic Michael Thomas. I can’t swear to it because I don’t have his 40 times/three-cone, etc., due to no Combine/Pro Day, but he may be just as fast/faster.
Neat story from the Combine on NFL Network...Daniel Jeremiah asked DE prospect Charles Omenihu, Texas who was better -- Kyler Murray or Baker Mayfield, having played against both the past 2 years. Omenihu said, "Kyler Murray is the best football player I've ever played against."

"Jarveon Howard got my initial attention with a nice HBCU Combine and then followed that up with a solid Pro Day."

If Foreman looks ready – the Texans will axe Miller (due $7M this year but only costs $1M to cut) and then add a veteran RB to go with Foreman as lead. He is moving into position to be shock Week 1 lead back and skyrocket in redraft preseason rankings…maybe
@MyFantasyLeague
49ers UDFA rookie DB D’Shawn Jamison (2 tackles vs Broncos) is going to make this 49ers roster and he’ll likely be a starting CB/ SAF for them in future seasons.
Colts 2nd-year UDFA CB Dallis Flowers started against Chicago and looked good. He has been the starter all training camp and he’s going to hold it to Week 1 and beyond.
Bryan Edwards’s new teammate, Henry Ruggs, is not a
#1
WR…he’s a deep ball distraction. Tyrell Williams is a
#2
WR…and is not long for the Las Vegas world (thus a million WRs drafted by LV this year).

"QB Baker Mayfield, Cleveland
I could see him setting records for TD passes and passing yards in a season just to give all his critics the finger that they will deserve – and it’s not just to the media but to an entire football ecosystem that has screwed players for decades..
- I love all the analysts who love Kyler Murray now because of his Pro Day. It’s the biggest proof yet that THEY have no idea about scouting QBs, but please listen to them on Winston-Darnold-Daniel Jones, et al

Speaking of tight ends, if you can explain why Minnesota drafted Irv Smith highly, and then tried to trade Kyle Rudolph, only to find no takers, but took that as a sign they now wanted him and needed to give him an expensive contract extension…I’m all ears.
@MyFantasyLeague
Chase Claypool, PIT
A star profile, a superstar profile. How he was not considered one of the three best WR prospects in the 2020 NFL Draft is beyond me…but, it’s typical for the NFL.
Saints WR A.T. Perry has size (6'3"+/198) with those fluid, sleek movement skills like Justin Jefferson and also has the super-fast feet off the snap to get open in a blink on any opposing CB.
Fournette is one of the best RB talents in all of football with NO competition for touches AND in the best surrounding offensive circumstances he’s ever been in pro or college…yeah, I like him a lot trading as an RB1.5-2.0. "
@MyFantasyLeague
Once Isabella is playing 75%+ of the snaps in this offense...WR2-3 easy every week, WR1.5 next year, and takes Kyler Murray up a few more notches. Isabella is the special sauce waiting to be consumed...

I don’t know if Week 4 is ‘the week’. I just know…at some point Kyler Murray will click to the next level and then there will be no turning back. Everyone will be in awe.

Thanks so much for having me on the show. Great time as always!!
This WR class is loaded with special talent. Don’t sell the other top WRs short by thinking that MHJ is SO above them. Same thing happened with last year’s ‘unquestionable’ prospect… Bryce Young.

My Bills source believes Singletary is not just a ‘promising rookie’…no, it’s more like Sean McDermott is head over heels and is ready to move on from McCoy because of Singletary. It’s that serious. How serious am I taking it? Hmmm.

If I could bet on one 49ers’ WR for fantasy…it’s Pettis. The one guy who has true

WR skills. I want to love him, but I can only ‘really like’ him right now. He’s got a chance to be a star in 2019, but this is a crowded 49ers WR depth chart- a great TE & 2 great receiving RBs
The biggest player ‘thing’ happening from this game is -- the continued, rapid rise of Bears rookie RB Roschon Johnson (7-32-0, 1-11-0/1).

"One of the most underrated moves that people aren’t talking about enough is the signing of Mike Gesicki.”
📺
Cardinals rookie QB Clayton Tune (9-12 for 85 yards, 0 TD/0 INT vs MIN) is really playing solid, smart football. for a rookie. He looks more poised than I thought he would be this early in his NFL journey.
Cole McDonald will be the
#2
QB for the Titans in 2020, I believe, and if Tannehill (of the two ACL injuries) gets hurt…McDonald could usher in a Lamar Jackson-ish era into run-loving Mike Vrabel’s heart.
@MyFantasyLeague
Note — if you have Justin Jackson, he’s quite hot right now. Don’t undersell him. But do sell him hot. He’s going to draw RB2 like value soon. He’s RB2.5ish now and climbing.
If you have Ekeler — get what you can. He’s not going to be a real FF factor either.
@MyFantasyLeague
I won’t promise you you’ll ‘dominate your league’ (stupidest line, used by EVERY fantasy site). I will help you be the single most informed person in your league. I’m not always right on talent assessment/situation/opportunity…just more right than everyone else at a higher rate.
If you give me a few weeks of your consideration, and that you will be the most armed/educated person about individual players in your fantasy group. My goal – that my work brings you joy to ready and arms you with intel that you won’t find anywhere else…
Why is it Leonard Fournette is too scary to draft because of his perceived injury history, but everyone loves Aaron Jones, Dalvin Cook, Marlon Mack, Devonta Freeman, Kerryon Johnson, and David Johnson without such ‘pause’?
#JaguarsCamp
Dallas Goedert, PHI – Two ways to win… (1) Suddenly seems to be ‘the man’ for the Eagles at TE…a useful TE option. (2) He or Ertz gets traded…and I have a feeling it might be Ertz.

NFL scouting analysis…it’s not a science it’s all emotion, and people plagiarizing others emotions.
I’d be very afraid for Sony Michel in fantasy 2019 with Harris slicing in or just taking over.

Nick Foles has grinded and works very hard and is an excellent leader and won a Super Bowl, and people still think he sucks. What standards are we using to judge success?

The 5 Things I'm most interested in today...
1) Noah Fant's measurables
2) Jamal Custis's 40-time and three-cone (if he's participating)...can he get himself on the map.
3) T.J. Hockenson's 40-time and three-cone...is at weaker or better than I thought.

If you didn’t know better, Patriots 2nd-year WR Braxton Berrios (3-34-0/3) looked like Julian Edelman was playing…he has moves and a style of play just like Edelman on the field. If Edelman went down…Berrios may become the shock PPR WR of 2019.
@MyFantasyLeague
#Patriots
The more I watch Diontae, the more I’m convinced he is the new ‘AB’, as cheap of a comp as that sounds…I’m not joking, and he might be better than Antonio at the same stage of their career.
#SteelersCamp
@MyFantasyLeague
Arizona started their rookie camp, and the most likely story you’ve heard about is Kyler Murray and his shoes/feet hurting. However, my biggest takeaway from talking with contacts and looking through the info – Andy Isabella is the talk of camp from players, coaches, local media
Bengals should’ve brought QB Taylor Heinicke (13-21 for 162 yards, 0 TD/0 INT) to be Burrow’s insurance policy, but they didn’t. The Falcons have the luxury of no real fall off if they have to go with Heinicke for any reason.
Everybody think Trubisky sucks because that’s the cool thing for the popular kids to do.
He could lead the eagles to a super bowl in 3 yrs win the mvp and they d still say he sucks
Commanders TE Cole Turner (4-20-0/4) has had one of the best preseasons of any of the 2nd-year offensive players in 2023. Improved body, a year of experience, and this cc-KCO (Copycat KC offense) wants to push the tight end.
Baker Mayfield was sacked 3.2 times per game in his full starts under Hue Jackson, but then was sacked just 0.6 times per game post-Hue. Mayfield did not take a sack in five of his last 7 games. Mayfield is going to score points and not get sacked, trouble for opposing FF DSTs.
I���m beginning to believe that Chris Conley might be Nick Foles’ best connection WR to start 2019 season. They were friends from when they played together in KC…and it’s translating onto the field this summer.

And then there’s Pats’ rookie RB Damien Harris (14-80-0, 4-23-0/4), who made a strong case in this game that he might be the single best RB prospect from the 2019 NFL Draft. What an excellent showing here. Harris is such a talented runner and receiver
Freddie Kitchens, Browns HC... what a breath of fresh air. Maybe the most honest, humble, players-over-system guy in the city this week. I hope the Browns win a Super Bowl just so that guy gets respect and we start hiring more adults for head coaches and not cartoon characters.
- I guess we have to start with David Montgomery (3-16-1, 3-30-0/3), the newest member of the NFL Hall of Fame. Congrats to him for his long journey to the pinnacle.
@MyFantasyLeague
Keep in mind – the Chiefs traded up to get Mecole, as all the NFL analysts cooed at what a genius stroke it was. With a full offseason of prep and a year of experience gained…Hardman had one target in this game, while Demarcus Robinson had 6.
Denver is a QB away from being ‘that team’ in 2020. I will be taking lottery ticker positions in Denver to go to the Super Bowl and win the AFC West in 2020 when the early, favorable odds hit…hoping they do something at QB (like trade for Foles or sign a solid veteran).
Eagles third round rookie SAF Sydney Brown (4 tackles) is going to be a star safety in the league. He’s just moving differently than other rookie safeties. Big time hitter and non-stop effort.
Kudos to Pat Shurmur, it only took him 11 months with the team and 16 weeks into the NFL season to realize giving a 4.4+ running TE a rushing attempt might be interesting. Way to go! Great scouting and vision after 300+ days with the team!!
