It’s episode 1000 of the Late-Round Podcast! I talk about whether or not the edge we get in drafting rookies is shrinking as the fantasy football market gets sharper. Should you be avoiding rookies now? Find out: https://t.co/Bz7ORmXfLX
Quinshon Judkins
ONLY RB in NCAA history to post 1,500+ rushing yards & 15+ rushing TD's as a true freshman & get drafted RD1-2 in the NFL Draft… other than Adrian Peterson.
First RB EVER to hit 11+ feet in the broad jump at 220+ pounds.
We are BUYING the dip.
@FFMichaelK@JustinHerzig Great stats. I like Shakir and when I see him I see a workman like player that has earned targets from one the best in the game. Do I see a star? No but I don't think he has to be. 75 rec 1100 receiving with some Tds is a rock solid player in alot of my deeper leagues.
@JustinHerzig A few names I would take over him but at that time in the draft it does come down to team construct. More upside surrounds Shakir but he also has the trust of 1 of the best in the game in Allen. Could be an easy 70+ catches with a click
If drafting DK Metcalf is wrong I don’t want to be right.
Look at the other WR’s going in his range:
Xavier Worthy: #2 target
Jameson Williams: #2 target
Devonta Smith: #2 target
Travis Hunter: #2 target, CB
DK Metcalf is the CLEAR #1 target in PIT.
& Aaron Rodgers supported BOTH Davante Adams (WR8, 17.9 PPG) & Garrett Wilson (WR26, 14.0 PPG) on the same team – just last season.
You’re betting on a WR who’s resume includes:
⁃ a 1,300 yard season
⁃ a 90 reception season
⁃ MULTIPLE 10+ TD seasons
In an offense with literally zero target competition.
At a WR25 price tag.
This is a bet you make every time.
B/R just pegged Austin Ekeler as a potential cut candidate.
The Bears were involved in trade negotiations for Ekeler in 2023. He was rumored to be on the radar last offseason.
If the Commanders cut him, the Bears could be in play. And that would be a big blow to D'Andre Swift.
In 2022 I called Justin Jefferson +900
In 2023 I called Tyreek Hill +1000
In 2024 I called Ja’Marr Chase +1500
And now in 2025 I will call Nico Collins +900
There’s no other player I’d rather back to keep the streak alive. It’s his year. Let’s ride🤝
Mark Andrews is ONE of THE BEST TE VALUES
his recovery from tight rope surgery impacted his early season performance last year.
Weeks 1-2 ^ 68% route run rates in each game
He didn't get back north of a 56% route per dropback rate consistently until Week 10.
Weeks 1-9: (per @FantasyPtsData)
Tg%: 11.3
TPRR: 18%
YPRR: 1.77
Rec yds/game: 32.1
1st read %: 13.9
FD/RR: 0.110
TE16 in fppg
----------------------------------------------
Weeks 10-18:
Tg%: 18.1
TPRR: 24%
YPRR: 2.31
Rec yds/game: 48
1st read %: 18.9
FD/RR: 0.127
TE5 in fppg
@DBro_FFB One of the best TE in the league with 1 of the best QBs in a top offense. Why do we over think this stuff. The disrespect of Mandrews and Kittle is making a making drafts real easy for us
Awful: Maxx Crosby was HEARTBROKEN after Jon Gruden resigned as the Raiders' head coach.
"At his house, he sat like the godfather, torn up, apologizing. I said, 'Coach, stop. I love you. You gave me a shot.' They went after him, he said, 'I'll be back'"
We need Gruden back in the NFL 😔💔
