I’ve been saying he’s a 5th round pick since February. I had him in the 6th before that. If he doesn’t miss time to start he’ll miss time later because of injury. People forget he was injured to start camp last year, and the giants handled that in the dumbest way possible, which led to the knee injury. Last year you could survive 5th round Rice, Pearsall, or Jennings, but you couldn’t survive 3rd round Rice, and you certainly couldn’t survive 1st round Nabers. So 5th, or 6th is where you should be able to make it at a decent rate with him in a bad outcome. It’s risk management, not a statement on the player.
A pat on the back never did anyone any good, so negative review time. This team has 4 major flaws options, availability, slow start potential, and garbage players.
It's an Eliminator team so you always want at least 2 options at every spot every week. So, starting with QB and TE you've probably capped this team at week 7, CJ Straud is coming of a terrible season and is hard to trust. But Daniels and Stroud are not a terrible bet if you're only going 2, but weekly options are the problem at QB. Mike Gesiki is coming of a terrible career. He doesn't block and he always gets hurt, so he doesn't get on the field that often So best of luck with that gamble. Also, in the Eliminator you can't take a position's points for granite. How else would anyone describe your TE room? It's a guy who's never done nothing and a guy who never does nothing. You need those points. Every position has to be taken seriously.
Next, we'll take a look at WR. It's not bad Talent wise, but you have availability issues. Pearsall is a big gamble, but I get it. Bruce Arinias famously said, no risk it, no biscuit right before he famously wasted Tom Brady's, greatest NFC championship game comeback performance ever, by going cover zero when all you had to do was stop the Rams from getting in field goal position. You can't lose if you don't try, right? Nabers is not likely to be a full go week 1. In the Eliminator you need every point you can get from the start. Don't draft hurt people and rookies until late. Lemon, rookies don't usually start hot, so another unnecessary chance. 2 on the same bye week is risky at the same position. You've done that twice at receiver. Diggs doesn't have a bye week yet, so you could have 3 on bye in the same week, not a good idea at all.
Finally, to the RB room, or waste of time, whichever you prefer. Love is a rookie and Judkins is coming off major injury, so your best two options are likely to have bad starts. C rod is probably already inactive, and Spears doesn't have both his MCL's I believe, so two more lotto tickets there. Kaytron is interesting but once again a rookie, more likely another slow start. Bigsby and Vidal? How soon do you think Saquan and Hampton are going down. You can't worry about late season points; you won't get there.
Anything could happen, so you could still win it all. But if your luck is that good just buy Powerball tickets. I'm the luckiest person on earth is not a very good strategy.
Anyways, here's a really negative review. I hope you enjoyed it, and more importantly, I hope it makes you think. Thanks for letting me do that.
