Certainly a possibility. But I'd have OBJ as my WR1, Edelman as WR2, and would have the flex decision between: Hogan, R. Freeman, J.Gordon (please God let this pan out), Crowell, Woods, or Carson. I don't think I'd go Hogan in that scenario.

quote:

Davis' effort to lead has been evident since the start of training camp. He is the first one up as the receivers go through drills with their positional coach, and he has been a standout during practice.

Offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur is moving Davis across the formation, having him work at the No. 2 or No. 3 position in some three-receiver sets in addition to playing on the outside. For now, Taywan Taylor is the No. 2 receiver and Nick Williams is No. 3, though Rishard Matthews -- who agreed to a one-year extension Wednesday -- is expected to work his way back into the rotation.

For Davis, learning all the positions will allow LaFleur to get him in more favorable matchups, such as going against another team's nickel cornerback. That type of scheming is done for many of the league's top receivers -- the ones who regularly face double-teams and exotic coverages.

Um... that’s grammatically correct. The verb “is” corresponds to the subject “use.” “of commas” is a prepositional phrase, with “commas” being the object of the preposition.

That's really embarrassing for you.

Ok. Grammar lesson over. Back to the Fantasy.

Fire up the Baker Mayfield discussion. Looks like Tyrod could have a pretty bad wrist injury.

Thank you, sir. Getting a late start this year.

Looks like Tyrod is back on the sideline with his helmet and no brace on that wrist. Questionable to return. I'm very surprised.

Foles may have run out of talent juice again.

Picked him up in the 9th round of a 14-teamer. Was surprised he was still there.

He does. I'm wondering if the first pick of round 3 is too soon to take him.

I have noticed in mocks that freeman is going off the board before the third round at times
