AJ Brown to the Patriots! Myles Garrett to the Rams! What’s the fantasy spin for all teams involved? I joined @TomPelissero and @judybattista on The Insiders to break it all down!
Joined @RapSheet and @TomPelissero on The Insiders to break down all things Raiders!
- Kubiak’s effect
- Mendoza year 1 expectations
- What it means for Jeanty and Bowers
- Fantasy expectations!
Which Day 3 Penn State running back has the better fantasy career?
Nicholas Singleton - Titans - 165th overall
Kaytron Allen - Commanders - 187th overall
Zachariah Branch
- speedy, slot receiver
- a lot behind the line of scrimmage
- YAC guy
- quick burst and quick separation
- weapon over the middle
- can win vs hand coverage and excels vs zone
Love the landing spot with targets up for grabs behind London/Pitts
For fantasy, I would bet on his talent in rookie drafts likely in the 2nd round but I’d be ok in late 1st
Can compete with Xavier Legette for snaps opposite of TMac. Year 1 likely starts out as just a late round best ball guy, but has waiver wire appeal in redraft
Malachi Fields
- BIG WR (6’4, 218)
- Huge catch radius
- high point/contested catch type
- X receiver who is best out wide
- field stretcher who flashes hands late
- red zone weapon
- nice comeback routes
- limited route tree. A lot vertical
- not a YAC guy, lacks fluidity
Antonio Williams
- YAC guy who is very shifty after the catch
- beat in short/intermediate game. Lots of targets behind LOS in college
- best in slot
- can win across middle
- quick separator
- more quick than fast
Reminded me of a faster Wan’Dale Robinson
Giants adding Notre Dame WR Malachi Fields to an offense with Jaxson Dart, Malik Nabers, Cam Skattebo, and Isaiah Likely.
Who's stopping Big Blue in 2026?
Germie Bernard
- reliable WR. Good route runner, soft hands
- chain mover. Bama often went to him of 3rd/4th down
- finds soft spot vs zone
- can line up inside, outside even in backfield
- better after the catch than field stretcher
- can generate touches for him
One concern I had for Bernard is that he’d be a better real life weapon than fantasy (kinda like Jayden Reed)
On a Steelers team that has Metcalf, Pittman, + targets the RBs/TEs at a high rate - I think that’s exactly the case. Just a late round dart throw in best ball (imo)
Browns suddenly have some options at WR but I think their best 3 WR set would be Boston, Jeudy and Concepcion in the slot
For fantasy? With either Shedeur or Watson at QB, they’re all reserve round options. Better in best ball types
KC Concepcion
- Great inside, after the catch
- Good vision, smooth runner
- Quick separation
- creates angles/controls body well to play bigger than he is at times
- lots of short/intermediate targets but QB play left a lot to be desired, especially on deep targets
Omar Cooper Jr
- speed to consistently win downfield
- shifty runner, no unnecessary movement and is extremely tough to tackle
- quick release at line
- strong hands
Reminded me of Jayden Reed. Think his ceiling is a DJ Moore type
Jadarian Price
- decisive, one cut runner
- very good vision and great spatial awareness
- can get low and be tough to tackle
- Needs work in pass game
- not sure he will see goal line work right away
- average speed
- Achilles rapture in 2022
- fantasy RB2 in class
Kenyon Sadiq
- a WR in a TE body
- Athlete - able to hurdle defenders
- great speed
- too fast for LBs, too big for safetys
- wide route tree, can stretch field
- Moves like a WR with ball in hands
- excellent against man
- quick separation
Faster Sam LaPorta
Makai Lemon
- lot of YAC
- has wiggle and tough to tackle after catch
- can play inside and out (better inside)
- more quick than fast
- a lot of short/quick targets at USC
- reminded me of way Bills used Khalil Shakir last year
