Hey, welcome back. If you think the NFC East is predictable, think again. This is a division where your top fantasy points might be obvious like Saquon Barkley, but your league winners could be hiding way down the draft board.

Yeah, we've got the Eagles chasing another Super Bowl ring with a new offensive coordinator. We got the commanders trying to avoid the sophomore slump. We got the Giants whose best offense may be their defense, and we got the Cowboys banking on a healthy D to get them back over 500.

Yeah. Today we're gonna di dive into who in this division you can trust and who is a trap and the deep sleepers who you could break your fantasy season wide open. Let's start with, let's just get it out of the way. It's obvious. Who are the top three fantasy picks in the NFC East?

This division as a whole kind of follows this like stars and sleepers theme where we got Saquon right at the top. Who was the elite number one option running back last year. And then we have a couple of elite, pass catchers too with neighbors and CD lamb. These are all top 10 picks in every single format. And we know they're gonna show up on Sundays.

Yeah, and then we got the ugly ones. Who are those?

Yeah. And then deeper on the depth charts and some pieces that no one really wants to get into. We've got some STEs like Tyrone Tracy. Brian Robinson, who just, no one wants them, but they might provide value, and then some deep sleepers like rookie Jaylen Lane. Okay.

All right. Let's kick it off with discussing the Eagles. After winning the Super Bowl last year the line's only 10 and a half. They went 14 and three last year. So the, they think they're gonna come down a little bit. I don't think they like a line that high anyway. So 10 and a half is fair, but after we get through discussing this division, we might be on the over on them as well. The Eagles have a new offensive coordinator because Kellen Moore left and went to the New Orleans Saints. So they have Kevin. Plu. He's been with the Eagles though since 2021 as the past game coordinator, so he got a promotion. I'm not seeing any reason why we should really think that he's going to be changing things around a whole lot in his structure.

Yeah, the Eagles are the eagles when it comes to offense, and they've done it through multiple coordinators now.

Yeah. We discussed the Eagles in our prop bets. I like Jalen Hertz to have to pass more this season and less leaning on Saquon Barkley because if they lean on him as heavy as they did last year, they're going to break him. Over the weekend, we did see the tush push, which didn't get enough votes to be banned in the off season, but this time it was Tanner McNee and they pushed him in for the touchdown, proving it's not just Jalen Hertz, that they can push him, push in.

So if we go down that route of their passing more, who do you see as that primary benefactor for an increased passing rate?

That's where the mystery comes in because they didn't make any changes to this team, and the team's a little beat up and old.

Yeah, but they still got some star talent out there with AJ Brown and Devonte Smith, so they can pass it more if they want.

They do. Let's take a step back. Do you see any difference? We've been doing the personnel for each team each time. Do you see any changes in the plays that this team's going to run and what do they run?

So they run basically league average for three wide receiver sets. And then basically 90% of all of their snaps are either 11 or 12 personnel. So the 12 personnel, when they have two tight ends on the field, that was partially due to some of the games where their wide receivers were banged up. And so then they're relying on both Godder and Calcaterra, both at the same time. They really never used a fullback or multiple running backs. It was just saquon as a true bell cow. And like we were saying. And with you the, I think it's gotta shift to the passing side just because it's not sustainable. He had 451 touches last year. That's way too many hits.

That, that is way too many hits. They've gotta cut down on that or this is gonna be end up being a different story. The problem is, and we can go ahead and move into a little bit of the breakdown of where the target shares are going to go, but looking at who they brought in. They brought in a couple tight ends, Harrison Bryant and Kylen Grantson Grantson, I think was with the Colts, and neither one of those stand out as standing in tight ends for pass catching. Dallas Goddard and Grant Calcaterra. They were great last year, but I don't remember seeing both of them on the field too much. Mostly 'cause I think they, Calcaterra only came in when Goddard got hurt.

Yeah. The reason why you probably don't think of them on the field that much is because when they had both of them, they were running the ball. They were running in about 75% when both of them, so it's not like they were both running routes.

All right, so there we go. So now we gotta break down all of these wide receivers. AJ Brown's missing time in training camp with hamstring issue. He missed the first, he missed three games at the start of last season, also with a hamstring issue. Hamstrings just. Tend to linger and this whole division is hurt by hamstring's injuries. We'll get to, Dak and his hamstring injury and there are other ones too that have hamstring injuries. So we've got AJ Brown hurt Devonta Smith. He too missed three games last year too with a hamstring I issue. And who do we have after those two?

Yeah, really it gets pretty thin besides those two. You have Johan Dotson, who they traded for from the Commanders, but really the Eagles tell you what they're going to do, and AJ Brown and Devonte Smith kind of flip flop games of who the better wide receiver is. I mean, AJ Brown gets the slight edge. But depending on if they're playing a man heavy or zone heavy scheme it could shift to Devonte Smith. So I don't think, this team had very good injury, luck last year. Part of the reason why they won the Super Bowl and they are thin outside of their top two options in the passing game.

They definitely are. Do you like either AJ Brown who is going at. Wide receiver nine or Devonta Smith. I don't know where he's going, but it's a little lower down. Do you like either of 'em or do you just feel like this is going to lead to missed time? I have a hard time because right about wide receiver nine is when Drake, London, who I don't even like, but I like Drake, London more than I like AJ Brown or Lad McConkey at Wide Receiver 11. Who do you like in that bunch?

In that bunch. I think AJ Brown, it's I've been taking 'em about 50 50 at the time with McConkey, and I've been taking London above both of them. And so I haven't gotten too much exposure to AJ Brown, and then I typically end up with Devonte Smith. We both like the passing attack for this. I think it's going to be effective. So then I just wind up with Devonte Smith and then even tacking on some of the very late options like Will Shipley, who's the backup? Running back is a great pass catcher the backfield.

So you're targeting some of the later down ones there, assuming there's going to be some injuries. The Eagles are kicking off the season on Thursday night against the Cowboys in Philadelphia. You think the Eagles are gonna win? Get off to a quick start.

I think they will. I also just getting into their over I got them over 10 and a half. That, that line, I was surprised how low it was. Yeah the sports books do not like putting it double digits, but they just have so many ways to win a game. We know

Yeah.

have game winning or weak winning performances. Their defense is dominant. And then, oh yeah, they have a Drew Brown and Devon, Dick Smith if they need 'em.

And they've got Jalen Hurt who we, we just skipped over and assumed he was going to do more Jalen hurt things and run the ball and get pushed in. So they've got a great quarterback. It's hard to go against them, even though the team seems very thin for injuries. They seem to get things done.

That is a, a good point with Hertz and how he's being skipped over of the perception. He's been a top option for quarterback. he's really taken over and now we've seen him surpassed by Jaden Daniels as far as like a DP and I don't really agree with that. We'll get into the commanders next, but I still like Hertz over him. I think he is more of a value than where he's gone in past few years.

I feel like I know exactly what I'm getting with Hertz. The floor is very high and that ceiling is there as well. If he gets the touchdowns instead of Saquon Barkley.

Yeah, we still have the tush push.

We do it lives on another year. All right. We're both on the over there. Let's go to the Commanders. Their line is nine and a half. They finished last year, 12 and five with Jaden Daniels, rookie season being on fire. Do we see the sophomore slump this year outta Jaden Daniels? Like we did CJ Stroud. We were all talking about CJ Stroud this time last year and how great his second season was going to be with all of his wide receivers. Now Jane Daniels doesn't even have all his wide receivers lining up yet, and we're still taking the sky really high.

True. I think Daniels a much higher floor than CJ Stroud. We saw what happened when Stroud, it doesn't work, and he doesn't really have the scrambling ability that Daniels has to rely on when things aren't working. Daniels will take off and still get those first downs, still get that rushing upside. So I think his floor is much higher, but I don't really agree that he has the upside to be taken over in that top category. With the Jackson, Lamar Jackson, with Josh Allen, or even above her.

Yeah, I don't either. I feel like this comes down a little bit this year. I could be wrong, but I think we see this a lot where we get the rookies that come in and then the next year teams have caught on to what they're doing and it doesn't quite go as well. Even the scrambling, will this all fall apart without Terry McLaren, who is technically on the P list, wants a new contract? I've heard that the contract issues are not about money, that it's more about probably how much is guaranteed and the incentives in that contract that they're offering.

Yeah, it seems like both sides are dug in there of. The team is a little hung up on giving guaranteed money to a wide receiver at his age. And McLaurin has produced for this team. He's stuck out even with really bad quarterback play in years prior. And he wants to be paid what he's felt like he's given to this franchise. I do think without him, this wide receiver core is one of the worst in the league and ADPs from this team. It's either gonna have to go two different directions. Either Daniel's is gonna fail at his price of quarterback three, and there's no way he can pay that off. Or one of the other people in this room's gonna have to step up and be a tremendous value later in the,

Yeah, exactly. You can't have one going high and then the other's just falling because we don't know what's going to happen to them. I just picked up McLaurin in a draft where I think he fell to the seventh round and I'm like.

yeah.

I'll take him. I am, I think he'll play, I don't think they'll trade him. This will get worked out, but we've seen the holdouts before not have a lot of success, particularly at the beginning of the season after missing that time with their team.

typically they're, they get off to slower starts, and they're at an increased risk for injury too.

Yeah. There were no coaching changes. Here we get Dan Quinn and Cliff Kingsbury back doing what they did that was so much fun to watch last year. What kind of personnel do they like to have on the field?

So they kind of used a variety of packages. Got into some weird ones with

I.

where they're having two running backs on the field and 13 personnel. They used them a lot more than league average, but this was. far higher run percentage. I think part of that is not really is outta script with just Jay Daniel scrambling and adding in those extra rushing attempts that were supposed to be passing place. But it led to the fifth highest run rate in the NFL and they don't really have a lot of the wide receivers to have a dominant passing game. And even like Deebo is kind of used much more. Very close to the line of scrimmage, catching screen passes even involved in the running game. So I think we see more of the same, of a very high rushing ratio and then a very high scramble rate with Jane Daniels.

It's interesting thinking about that because I don't remember them being the fifth leading brushing team last year. I don't think of Brian Robinson Jr. Being dominant and we lost Austin Eckler to concussion for a few games last year to do you, how do you see these running backs valued for fantasy?

I think Brian Robinson is gonna continue being a. Draft value. He doesn't have the upside to win your league, but he's very safe. And if you're going like a zero RB build where you found yourself taking one of the elite tight ends, like you find a Brock Bowers, you get a couple of wide receivers and then you're there in the sixth or seventh round and you need a running back. I think I. Brian Robinson is a great pick there. We know he's gonna be the lead back. We know he has touchdown upside. And I think the reason we don't think of him quite is the same breadth as like the other bruisers, like James Connor or like Uba Hubbard is that they use a little bit more of a committee. We even saw guys like Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez get worked in somewhere in the Russian game. But he is their goal lineback, and when they get in the red zone, he's on the field.

So they did bring in a rookie in the seventh round. J. Crosky. Merri.

Yes.

any? How do you feel about him? Is he going to make any impact in this running backfield?

I am not really buying it. He has gotten a lot of buzz in training camp, but seventh round. Rookie running backs just have such an uphill battle to even play any snaps. I did learn a fun fact about him that he goes by Bill, apparently, and all the people there call him Bill.

Spill that's easier for me to stay, say.

It is easier. And so hopefully he does have a piece in this offense. 'cause it'd be fun to talk about Bill, but he is explosive. I just think they have. Two solid running backs with Austin Eckler and Brian Robinson. So it would take an injury for him to actually see the field.

Okay. Fair enough. Let's move on to the distribution for the wide receivers. How are you feeling about Debo Samuel at 30 years old and Zach Ertz at almost 35 years old.

Yeah, and I've still got McLaurin plugged in right now. I don't know how the hell they would distribute it without him. Deebo did not look good last year. I think they did bring him in to fill that close to the line of SC Scrimmage roll and give him some designated touches. I think he's gonna catch a lot of screen passes. The Cliff Kingsbury offense uses a lot of screen passes, which. Where he has been most effective in the past, but he is getting older. He is banged up and he was not as effective. He did have pneumonia last year, so maybe if you want to give him that that's a tough thing to be very effective when you're recovering from that. So if we buy in that he's fully healthy and ready to go, then yes, he could be an effective piece. I'm kinda leaning against him and I haven't really taken him anywhere because just what I saw in the field even before he was, before he had pneumonia, he just did not look like old Deebo.

Yeah, he didn't. We'll get to see if Kingsbury can drop something that he's. Pretty good at in this year. Ertz, they loved going to ER's last year and he stayed mostly healthy last year after missing 10 games the season prior, and seven games in 2022. So we got a healthy season out of him. He's 35 years old. I see this not going well this season and it going back to average here on Zacker and his injury bug.

Yeah, especially if they're gonna lean on him, if they're gonna keep passing to Zacker, I don't really see, I think they're setting him up to fail there. They did draft, Ben Senate last year and he was one of the most athletic titans. Do you think he would have any sort of opportunity to maybe make sure that he doesn't get hurt or in case he does.

Yeah I liked Ben Senate last year and talked about him a lot, and he never got that opportunity. We were kind of assuming that Ertz would get injured last year and he didn't. If he does this year I expect Ben to get more time and more targets out of this, especially in this backfield that's lacking depth as well.

Yeah.

It's. It's interesting 'cause that's been the trend now. The Eagles and the commanders, they don't have a lot of depth on their depth chart.

Which is strange because it's like the the commanders have a rookie contract. You would think they would bring in a couple more skilled positions or just pay the wide receivers they have.

Yeah, you would think so. They let some go that I wouldn't have let go, but we'll see. They get to start their season off with a game against the Giants, which we'll get to the Giants defense that may put up a fight for them. And then it gets tougher 'cause they go to Green Bay and get to visit the Packers. At least they get to go see the Packers in September and not December.

Yeah. The only other name I want to throw out for this commander's team. He is kind of a deep sleeper. He hasn't gotten too much buzz. He did make a amazing highlight play with Jayden Daniels in the ones, but it is fourth round receiver Jalen Lane, and I think Bill has gotten a lot more of the training Camp Buzz. But Jalen Lane has that athletic profile that. He could be a superstar where he was the 94th percentile, 40 yard dash. He ran like a 4, 3, 4. He had a 93% percentile vertical and a 97th percentile broad jump. So he is like an athletic freak. He's not that big. But when he is the star, he can do it all. He returned kicks. He was running the ball at Virginia Tech. He was their number one receiver as well, and he had. Really weird usage, so I really wanted to watch him in preseason. He was one of the guys I was tuning in on, and he only played 19 snaps, which is weird. He only got one target, which was not even close to him, but he did play primarily with the players who were starting that game, and then they took him out early in the second quarter. So it was weird of if this is your rookie wide receiver, why wouldn't you feature him and expose him and let him play longer in the game? But they took him out when they took out some of their other players. That'll probably start for them. So I think he has an opportunity on a shallow depth chart and he has an athletic profile to succeed in that role.

It sounds like fun. We'll be I'll. Maybe I'll be looking for Jalen Lane. Jalen Lane for pickups on Monday mornings.

Yeah, absolutely.

All right. Are you over or under the nine and a half line on the commanders?

I'm gonna go under, I think they over exceeded expectations last year. I think it's gonna bounce back. My mind's flashing back to that Hail Mary game against Chicago and I think they won games that they shouldn't have last year and they don't really have the depth to be a double digit win team.

You don't think they can win at least 10? I like the 10. The, I don't see 'em regressing that much.

I think the other teams are gonna give them more of a fight this year too, as we get later in the division.

Yeah, they very well could. So let's go on. I think I'm gonna go on the over, still on the Commanders. You can go on the under. We'll be different there. Let's go on the Giants. Their line is five and a half. Last year they finished three and 14 and they've done nothing but regress under Brian. Double. 22, they won nine games. 23 they won six games, and last year they won three games. How's this guy still have a job? And they didn't change anything for the most part on this team either. They're like, nah, we're good. Three and 14. That's what we need.

Weird enough, I think. I think Dave Ball's a good coach. I don't think he's the best coach. Think he's about League average. I think his worst mistake was making Daniel Jones look good his first season there. So they extended Daniel Jones but they are free and that is now the Colts problem. So they picked Jackson Dart in the first round and then we brought in two more quarterbacks. Who do you think gets the start there? How do you see like the breakdown of those games throughout the season?

I think if he wants to keep his job, then he ought to start Jackson Dart. And if he wants to put lipstick on the pig, then he can start. Russell Wilson.

And James Winson would be so much fun. Ideally, if it were up to them, then they want Jackson Dart to sit a year. Learn. We've seen the benefits of that. We've seen Jordan Love, have success. We've seen the risk of throwing out a, prospect quarterback too early, and it would be fun if they have to bench Russell Wilson, put in Jamis Winston. Let's see. Malik Neighbors put up 300 yards in a game.

Yeah, I'm not a Russell Wilson fan. It just killed me last year to watch him succeed at anything. And maybe this year I don't have to, but I, I'd love to watch Jamis Winston, having Winston tossed to neighbors. That would just be fun to watch.

Yeah. to the other team and then to neighbors and just

That'll work. That's what the fans wanna see. But I'm pretty sure this coach isn't going to give the fans what he wants. I think he gets fired at the end of this season. I think he'll put too many eggs in Russell Wilson's basket and go down with him.

It is interesting of what the expectations for this year are because I can't. Imagine you look at this roster and it's this is a playoff roster. And so then you kept 'em. You drafted a future quarterback, but you're trying to keep your job this year. It doesn't really make sense.

It doesn't it? There's a lot this organization does that doesn't make sense. Who's gonna be the running back there?

My bets on Tyrone Tracy. Um. Over the job from single Terry. He came outta nowhere last year and people did not expect him to take over that backfield. And he was actually really good when he had the opportunity. So the games he started, he was the starter for 13 of them. He was a top 15 back almost 40% of the time. And this Giant's team was awful. They only won three games, so that's pretty good considering the hand you're dealt. I think he's. Getting overlooked. I like scattered about too. He was fun during the college football playoffs, but he's also banged up right now. So I think it's just gonna be what people, the theme of the giants is not giving the people what they want and it's gonna be Tracy. And I think he's actually gonna be more effective than people think.

All right. What kind of personnel do they like to run on the field?

So they, run 11 far more than league average. About 73% of the time. They have three wide receivers out there and they run a lot of spread packages. So it was strange of, this was about one of the only teams I could remember where their expected points added per pass was actually lower than their expected points added per rush. almost never the case across the league, it just speaks to how bad that quarterback play was last year. Maybe with a spread attack, if you just get better than Malik Nabors and Darius Laden can start popping up for better fantasy performances.

Yeah I love their wide receivers. We talked about how the other two teams needed deeper, wide receivers. This team added three rookies that I don't know a lot about, but those rookies are sitting behind. Malik Neighbors, Dale Robinson, Darius Slaton, and Jalen Hyatt.

Yeah, there's a lot of athletic ability there.

How much do they use their tight end?

Last year, Theo Johnson, actually, he was a rookie for them, and he tested well at the combine. He actually looked really good at the start of the season, and then he got hurt. And he wasn't able to fi finish that rookie year strong. But he is coming back and they use 12 personnel about 16% of the time. They actually pass more often than most teams do in 12 personnel. I kinda like Theo Johnson way down on draft boards. He is going as tight in 31, so you're not really expecting him to do a lot. But I think he, he has the profile to catch a pass and stiff arm a guy and actually keep running 60 yards.

We'll have to keep our eye on him where the target share looks relatively the same that you have here. Actually, Dale, you're giving less to Dale Robinson.

Yeah, that's more of just due to I see the difference between Russell Wilson and Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones was like the king of the check downs, and especially with back outs. So it's like everything close to the line of scrimmage, and I think. With Russell, it'll be a little bit more distributed. And the one thing that has kept up with Russell Wilson throughout his career is the long passes, the deep shots. So that's kind of the Darius Slaton role in this office. So I saw a slight bump in his profile.

All right. Yeah, over. Go ahead.

You have the dominant 31% target share for Malik neighbors which is just absurd.

It is crazy. Can you stay healthy?

Yeah, I, that's why I think this team, the other part of it is their first pick was Abdul Carter, the defensive edge and their D-line is going to be dominant. I think they're gonna lean on the running game to try to give Malik NRS a little bit of a break to try to control these games, to try to keep day ball's job basically.

So you're not drafting a lot of neighbors as high as he is going, I'm guessing.

Yeah, I've been a little bit behind. I still like the opportunity to take him, but I've liked Tracy the best for a value for the Giants.

Anything else about this team?

I am excited to see their defense. I think they're gonna play these teams a lot closer than other. Especially when we're talking about the commanders and not having the depth, it's like they're gonna wear you down.

As long as I don't have to watch, nine to three games, then it's okay.

Yeah. This, these might not be our daily fantasy teams.

Are you over under their five and a half line?

I am gonna go over I don't think it's gonna be over by much. I think their ceiling would be seven, but I like them about six wins. I think they're just gonna play teams closer the public thinks.

Okay, I am gonna go on the over or on the under here for the Giants instead. I'm not buying into 'em our last.

one of the like toughest strength of schedule, so there's also that,

It's amazing that they could get that finishing. Three and 14 Usually don't have it. Yeah. Let's move on to the Cowboys line is seven and a half. Last year they were seven and 10, and they had a lot of injuries at the end of last season with Dak Prescott. Missing, I dunno, eight, nine games last year. Towards the end when he tore his hamstring they also have all new coaching, they didn't bring back Mike McCarthy, their head coach, they promoted their offensive coordinator, Brian Schottenheimer to head coach and he's keeping his play calling duties for offensive coordinator. And then they brought back Matt Eber flus as their defensive coordinator. Who had been with the team from 2011 to 2017, and then went around as the Colts defensive coordinator and got a head coaching job for the Bears, and then he got fired last year, so now he's back.

He was much better as a coordinator than he ever was a head coach.

Yes, he definitely was. So I think he's back where he can probably make a pretty big difference in the Cowboys defense, which doesn't seem to be their problem. Last year, I think staying healthy was the bigger issue. But Dak Prescott, another year older, he's now 32, that hamstring injury sounded awful and he had to have surgery to reattach it. I'm worried about him. We've talked about all the hamstring injuries and now you want me to believe that this quarterback who's 32, is going to just magically come back from his hamstring surgery and play all of his games.

I

not quite buying it.

But it almost is a little reassuring to me that he had surgery on it. We see this, these soft tissue injuries just linger and people think they're back and then they go back. But it's no, you had full rehab, you had surgery on it. If we hear any bit of news during training camp during preseason that he suffered a setback, or we see him pop up on the injury report, then that's gonna be immediate red flag. And basically the entire cowboys are gonna be off my board. But we see that I think it's been pretty promising what we've seen him return for training camp.

I haven't heard a lot out of his training camp. I feel like there's a lot of players where I've been digging for information and they're just. Keeping a tight lip about some of these players and their actual conditions. I feel like Dak is one of those going along with that. They didn't even keep Cooper Rush. They let him go and they brought in Joe Milton as their backup.

Yeah, Joe Milton didn't look great in preseason the other day, but he did start a game for the Patriots last year, and then he looked amazing, like somehow he was that a one game wonder? Most likely. But the Cowboys took a shot that maybe given the opportunity it wasn't.

Hopefully we don't have to see it, but we might have to. What kind of personnel do the Cowboys like to run since

So yeah, we

it.

the same play caller. I think these are adjusted because they were dealing with Cooper Rush. They were dealing with backup quarterback play and then even at the end, like Malik or not Malik neighbor cd lamb was hobbling after every catch, and they were just abusing him to run the offense through. So they ran 11 personnel with three whiteouts about 70% of the time. I think it leans a little higher than that this year. with DAC back and, their new edition for their wide receiver room, I think they're gonna showcase George Pickens too.

All right. We can't quite skip to George Pickens, let yet. Let's talk about the running backs and Devonte Williams. Can he finally make his return from his devastating injury in 2022? We didn't get to see a whole lot from him last year. Do you like him?

For the two different questions, I don't think we're ever getting old Avante back in what the rookie flash we saw and how good he was and how explosive was. I think the injury kind of robbed us of that career. Which is kind of sad, but I do think he is good enough to get it done, to be the starter in this backfield. And with that brings touchdown upside but it just worries me of how much of a committee this is gonna be. They also brought in other veteran miles, sander, and then they drafted two rookies to compliment two with Jaden Blue and Phil Moffa. Jaden Blue was a fifth round pick, and then Phil Moffa was a seventh round pick.

Yeah, they're definitely bringing in some more talent to push these guys a little bit more to see what they've got left. So I think this one gets spread around between three of 'em a whole lot. So I'm staying out of that backfield for my fantasy. Pickups. Let's go on to target share. You brought up George Pickens. Do you like George Pickens in this offense, or does it just make CD lamb better?

I think it does both and I'm really excited. I think CD LAMB could benefit from not being, not having everything. Yeah, we saw him. last year because they were just hyper targeting him every time he was on the field. And it's nice to just have a number two option, just because t Higgins is on the field doesn't make Jamar chase bad. I think it's a similar setup where George Pickens compliments CD lamb and there is enough for George Pickens to have a good fantasy value. And CD lamb still be a dominant number one. Especially if we don't like their running back room. And once you get besides those two targets, then they don't have a lot of depth, which kind of gives me a little bit more confidence. I think in high volume passing games, there's normally enough for two options, just not when there's a third or fourth.

You're not buying into Jalen Tolbert or Jonathan Mingo or Paris Campbell.

No. Despite what they say about Jonathan Mango we'll see if he makes the team, but.

How about Jake Ferguson? They're tied in.

Yeah, I think he's due for every tight end you're drafting in the middle. Besides

I.

Once you get past those elite options, you're hoping they fall in the end zone and they had a good week that week and Jake Ferguson can definitely do that. We saw him be a key red zone target for Dak in the past, and there's nothing really to say that he couldn't return on a tight end. 15 value.

Yeah, I agree. And you've got 'em here on the predicted share is the third. Third wide out there on the target share. So I like that. I think Ferguson could be a sleeper. He suffered last year with everyone else on this team, we were drafting him higher last year, expecting a return from the prior season and we didn't get it. So now everyone's letting him really fall down. Plus I think there is a lot of worry about Dak and it's just that negative residual, even though it came from. Last year in everyone's mind that all of these fantasy players on this team kinda let us down.

Yeah, there is some bad, I feel like CD Lamb is the only one to escape that because of how good he is. But it's tough to be a red zone target, and your team never makes it to the red zone.

That is tough. Anything else about this team?

No, what are you taking for seven and a half? What's your lean?

I if D can stay healthy, I am on the over. It may only be nine,

That's where I'm at

I am,

I feel like this team won seven games and he only started eight of them last year, so I feel like this is really just a, this line is saying that they don't fully believe in Dak, but. I'm gonna throw the injuries out the window and go with Oliver for seven and a half.

yeah. I don't think that this team got worse with the changes that it made. The players hopefully just got healthy and who they brought in on coaching and who they brought in player wise, I feel were a slight upgrade.

yeah. That being said, Jerry Jones needs to pay Michael Parsons for them to. Hit that over, but

Yeah. I'll go talk to Jerry Jones. I'm visiting, I'm doing a stadium tour at their stadium on Wednesday this week, so I'll see if I can get to.

bring your picket sign.
