My daughters company is having a live in person fantasy draft. They are really into football. So she's been asking me alot of questions and I told her to snag the Eagles D. it's a PPR league so I have been helping her with possible pass catching RB's because those help in PPR

Because it makes no sense to release him if they could just put him on IR now.

Agreed, whoever loses out is still better on the PS than Wilson would have been even if he was not injured. I brought up that Smartt kid who is about the same dimensions as Wilson,but IDK squat about him other than he was a QB/ WR now TE

Long Snapper screws up he gets booted. Maybe last Oline up for grabs still. I favor the Georgia kid. Think he has it in him to be a starter even. But….probably on my all time lowest prediction knowledge right now. Bell might just work…hopefully. Stowers I knew needed time and development…but looked flat bad so far. Lemon wasn’t my guy so much…but Eagles made that move and I backed it as a quality move. Ravens WR clearly looking much better. Lemon off to a real slow start. Not saying he’s a bust already. But nothing to hang my hat on as I’m not wrong there too.

Liked the Greenard move. Well….not really…but after failing for my targeted guys felt he was clearly top option on the table still. Injured…after being injured last season…before even put on the jersey. Not looking good for my take there at this point either.

Will be nice if Lemon can actually play at some point, reports were he was looking good in the offseason. But he really hasn't started yet at all. Any reps he gets to get him started as soon as possible would be great.

Lemon, Stowers, Greenard still work out just fine. Just not good so far at this early stage is all.

Thing is reports were he was behind to begin with. So he really needed everything to get up to speed.

Can’t until clears waivers with entire league. Exactly why early decision could be advantageous. What team can afford to pick him up right now?

1 Smith

2 Wicks

3 Lemon

we could assume 2 or 3 more, lets say 3. Hollywood, Cooper, Covey, Moore. Some combination of 2 or 3 of this group.

Covey can’t handle WR. Just too small.

Yeah, why I feel Darius is lock for the 53. He really did have to earn his way. I think he deserves the BU role(and will start awhile also),so for 4 those 4 should be there, so figure 2 WR spots left. Those will probably be decided tonight.

Two things:

1) They are learning on the fly a new Offensive scheme. Learning is often most effectively done by making mistakes and understanding why they happened. As they say, never up, never in.

2) as I said before, the problem we as fans face in making any evaluations, much less coming to knee-jerk conclusions is that we have no idea what the focus or objective of the coaches chosen drills/plays is, so expecting to reach some kind of informed outcome is just silly. The primary focus of the coaches is to put players in competitive situations with some structure so the coaches can get good tape for evaluations. The outcome of each respective play is pretty irrelevant. The process of the play trumps the outcome.

You’re right. Yet that’s what us fans do. Never get the entire picture.

Drafting Lemon was saying goodbye to someone no matter. Wicks will be our new possession guy and the speed freaks will be coming out of the slot ala JJ. Lead these guys right with accurate passes in the bread basket and they can fly. Can't throw behind them or it's catch and done, but we saw how good JJ was from the slot. Darius should be fine the first few games. I hope we have some semblance of an offense tonight. We really couldn't make much of some of the weapons last game. Hope we see Elijah and Hollywood, this could be their last chance to audition

Darius clearly done everything to earn the job.

when are cuts?

Just wondering out loud if Darius would be as good or better than Covey at PR. if so that would place Covey on the outside of the bubble. I remember Moore as a kid I had on my fantasy bench at one time. Wasn't he with the Jets?

Your choice. Can’t blame you. Tough dealing with facts, logic and a guy just making sense.

6PM Sunday the 30th

It says August 30th is cut down day. We get another week and another actual game on August 28th. I would imagine there is no rush at this point, still evaluating things.

Moore was the question mark I’d say. He earned a place. Not everything WR…but some key niche roles. YAC creation baby!!

Will be interesting who we see at RB. The winner will be on the PS. Seems Ship locked up the 3 spot

I don't think they put much stock in tonight. The players are auditioning every day in practice.

See there’s practice….then game. Good in practice doesn’t always equate to good in game. Ty Robinson stepped up…in PS game 1. That means more.

45 minutes ago, GreenbleedinNC said:

I do, the failures will be the future cuts. In practice they get used to beating OUR guys, we need to see them beat opponents from other teams. Pre 3 is your tune up game so this is really last call for many

I’m with you. But…feels like roster fairly set. That is…according to guys we currently are choosing from. Outside guys will be brought in I guarantee after cuts.

That's funny, I think RB will be the easy decision, none of the top 3 should play. Should be all guys fighting for possible practice squad and putting film out for other teams. Who do we even have other than Barkley, Tank and Shipley? The guy that used to play with Houston?

Reminiscing a little about the kid that was too small to play Sproles LOL. ELECTRIC
