Certainly like the sound of that. I also took CJ Spiller 5 overall because they said they were "gonna run him until he threw up" and he got like 5 touches a game.

Heath Cummings from CBS Sports ...
quote:

So what did matter on Thursday night?

Isaiah Likely was the clear and obvious winner. He played more than two-thirds of the snaps, led the Ravens with a 30% target share, and caught nine of 12 targets for 111 yards and a touchdown. He was less than one inch away from a second touchdown on the final play of the game. I had Likely projected for an 8% target share, so there is obviously a big adjustment to be made here, but it doesn't happen in a vacuum. 

Mark Andrews looks like the biggest loser, with his two catches for 14 yards on two targets. Andrews did not look like himself and was not even running his full complement of routes. One thing we have to ask before deciding how much to move Likely up is whether we believe Andrews is cooked. I am not ready to say that after one game. My Ravens target share projection for Week 2 will have Andrews falling from 22% to 19%, with Likely rising to 14%. If Likely has a clear edge in Week 2, then I'll adjust further. For now, I expect both with be in my top-12 rankings at tight end in Week 2, and I expect Andrews will be ranked slightly higher. Needless to say, if Likely is on your waiver wire, you should put a big bid on him, it may take all your FAB. 


quote:

On the Chiefs side, it was a great night for Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy, but Rice is the only one who gets a big adjustment. His 33% target share was the high in the game and I had him projected at 22%. He was at 25% down the stretch in 2023, so that's where I am setting him for Week 2. Worthy actually saw fewer targets than I had projected, but played a ton of snaps, so I am leaving him where he was. Rice is likely to be a top-10 wide receiver in Week 2 and rest of season.

Good breakdown. Makes me feel a bit better but still going to have to try and get Likely and roster two TEs.

No comments about Kelce? He was a non-factor. Rice was clearly the primary target in the passing game.

Two players I'm watching in Week 2 for the Chiefs are Travis Kelce and Isiah Pacheco. Kelce's 14.8% target share was disappointing, and I dinged him a little bit for Week 2, but a bigger fall could be coming. Pacheco was over 10% target share and had a 75% rush share. If he keeps that up he's going to have a chance to be a top-five running back.

All of the Bengals wide receivers are on a separate field catching passes from the QBs and Tee Higgins is not out here with them.

Zac Taylor also says "we'll see" in terms of Ja'Marr Chase's availability for Sunday.


I don't care who they are playing on Sunday. It's the first game of the season, and they need to come out slinging. They need to rack up wins starting now.

I just do not see a situation where Chase is not out there, especially if Tee Higgins is out or limited.
