Agree. SP obviously wanted him too.

Rookie

Dude reminds me a bit of Denver Cutler when he was elite. Just makes it look simple when he throws it.

Not many guys can move in the pocket like that.

Lots of people seem to compare him to Favre. I can see that too...or a more athletic Stafford.

Either way he passes the eye test. Was impressed with him in the Texas bowl 2 years ago. Reid is probably the perfect coach for him, too.

With hunt now on the table this rookie RB class has infused some serious talent into the position...with more on the way next year in Guice, Chubb, Barkley

Scarbrough and Ronald Jones too. Next year's rb class is so loaded.

Danny Amendola will kick into slot with Edelman down and Cooks will move around a ton. Big difference is Hogan now a 80+ percent snap WR.

Danny Amendola's splits with and without Julian Edelman since he joined the #Patriots in 2013 (10.89 PPR Points/G implies ~WR45-50):



Have to think this may be variance (just 7 games in four years) but Rob Gronkowski's per game output has fallen 22% when Edelman misses:

Feel like WR isn't replacing its front end talent since the Beckham, Evans, Cook, etc class

What's the rush? I always wait a little if one of my top guys goes down. Nothing would make me sicker than dropping and then they come back fine.

From Schefter

Chiefs think Spencer Ware suffered PCL injury, but he will undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine extent of injury. ACL thought to be fine.

Guys the numbers don’t lie. Hogan has 57.9% of targets in slot since 2014 and a 96.8 rating on them. 91.8 overall. He’s the slot WR now.

It's weird because he was so removed from the slot role last season. But he's suited perfectly for it

Coach Doug Marrone has named fourth-year player Blake Bortles as the team's starter for the Sept. 10 season opener at Houston, a surprising turnaround for a player whose career with the team seemed to be in jeopardy a week ago.

A given, but confirmed:

MMQB's Albert Breer reports Julian Edelman has a "complete ACL tear in his right knee."

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Kareem Hunt will be the "featured back" for the Chiefs in Spencer Ware's absence.
With Ware's timeline for recovery looking to be 4-6 weeks, Hunt will start and have an opportunity to lock up the starting job even when Ware returns. Reid has historically given his featured back plenty of carries and looks in the passing game, thrusting Hunt into a big role to start the season. Hunt should be taken around the 3rd/4th rounds in fantasy drafts with his RB1 upside. Aug 26 - 1:57 PM
