Tim's Takeaways: Week 7

Etienne SZN is upon us

    After out-snapping, out-touching and out-producing James Robinson for three straight weeks, it was speculated that we were seeing a change of the guard. The Jags seemed to make that decision final when Robinson received zero touches in week seven. Trading Robinson to the Jets was the icing on the cake.

    Etienne has registered 100+ total yards in three straight games, with half a workload. Now that his backfield competition is gone and he's slated to get a bump in usage, it's not a stretch to say he could be a top-five (PPR) RB for the rest of the season. 



Is Olave a WR1? 

    The rookie WR now has four consecutive games with 15+ PPR points. He has either a TD or 100+ yards in every game during that span. Week seven was the third time this season he has seen at least 13 targets in a game. He's averaging 10.6 per game since week two. It begs the question: is Olave a WR1?

    Maybe not quite yet. For now, he is the highest of the high-end WR2's. However, another 20+ point week and we may have to revisit this discussion. 




Should we start playing Justin Fields?

    I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out. Nobody is saying Fields is a terrific QB, but he can run it with the best of them. He has at least 47 yards on the ground in each of his last five games, including 80+ in his last two. All I'm saying is, week seven was the third week in a row Fields has outscored Justin Herbert.

    Maybe that's an unfair spin, but then again, maybe it's not.

​    After putting up 23 points on MNF, he now has 17+ fantasy points in three straight. I know it's not always pretty, but you can't argue with the points. Wasn't that our motto with Jalen Hurts last season?

Tim's Takeaways: Week 6

11/2/2022

Najee flops again

   The title says it all. Maybe flop isn’t the right word, but for a RB1, it ISN'T NOT the right word. Sure, he scored a TD in week six which helped keep him afloat. But he once again delivered a majorly inefficient day and finished with less than 50 total yards for the third time this season.

   He’s not performing like the first-round RB you drafted him to be. He’s hardly delivering flex numbers. He continues to do just enough to get by and nothing more. I hate to say it, but at this point, sitting him would be justified.



Time to panic on Herbert?

   Three out of Herbert’s last four games have resulted in 14.4 points or less. Is it due to Keenan Allen’s absence? Is it due to Mike Williams famous disappearing act? Is it because I bet on him to throw a single TD on Monday night? Do you even know? Because I certainly don’t.

     By the way, that’s the second game of Herbert’s entire career without a single TD pass, in case you were wondering. My luck in a nutshell.

    I realize having Herbert as your QB1 is frustrating at the moment but you’re going to have to weather the storm. If anything, I’d look to trade for him if you need a QB because his value will never get lower than it is at this very moment. Once Keenan gets back things should improve, because this is simply not the type of player Herbert is.



Buy low on Zeke 

    It’s no secret that Zeke has been disappointing this season. But there’s reason for optimism, and I mean a lot of reasons. It’s a known fact Zeke struggles without Dak and vice versa. So use this as your chance to buy-low.

    Dak returns this week. They play Detroit (allowing the third-most points to RB even after a bye) and Chicago the following week (allowing the eighth-most points to RBs). Five of the Cowboys next six games after that are positive matchups for Zeke.

​    The usage is there, and the points are about to start following once this offense kicks into gear. I know things have been ugly, but I’m looking to trade for Elliot wherever I need a RB or a flex. Do with that info what you will…

Tim's Takeaways: Week 5

11/2/2022

It’s Breece time

    Breece Hall has arrived. The elite college profile has officially translated to the NFL. In week five, Hall accrued 197 total yards and one TD on his way to a career-high (hopefully not for long) 27.7 PPR points.

    The craziest part about this explosive performance as a rookie? He was tackled on the one-yard line twice or would have had three TDs. Trips to the end-zone are no stranger to Hall, who holds the NCAA record for most consecutive games with a TD.

     He has now increased his fantasy points in each week since entering the NFL. He currently sits at RB7 behind only Ekeler, Chubb, Barkley, Henry, McCaffery, and Fournette. In other words, literal RB1 company. That’s how good Hall has been. Until this week, he was flying somewhat under the radar. Good luck getting him now. 


Jacobs RB1 season

    It was never a question of Jacobs talent. It was a question of how this new coaching staff was going to value/utilize him. Well, after a questionable looking first few weeks… Josh Jacobs has finally established himself as a bonafide RB1.

    On Monday night, Jacobs picked up 183 total yards and a TD on 26 touches (30.3 PPR points). It marks the second consecutive week Jacobs has recorded over 25 touches, over 170 total yards, and over 30 PPR points. The most encouraging thing from a fantasy perspective: the fact he has at least five catches and 30 receiving yards in each of his last three games.

    Plain and simple: he cannot be sat, maybe ever again. 


Tyler Lockett: 2022’s biggest steal

     Is Lockett the value pick of the year? So far, I say he is. For a guy who was supposed to be down and out going from Russell Wilson to Geno Smith, he’s scoring an awful lot of fantasy points. With a ninth-round ADP, I gotta ask. What the hell were we thinking?

     It’s Tyler Lockett for Pete's sake. Of course, the fact that Geno Smith and Aaron Rodgers have swapped bodies has a lot to do with it… Nevertheless, we owe the man (Lockett) an apology. Before this week (27.4 PPR points) he wasn’t knocking your socks off. All he was doing was proving to be a consistent PPR weapon.

​     He now has AT LEAST five catches, 76 yards, and 13.1 points in each of his last four games. He is currently the WR7 through five weeks. When it comes to draft day values, he is the first name that comes to mind.
