With those bloodlines, maybe he will be this year’s Puka Nacua
God, that would be a nice problem to have. A more athletic version of Nacua with JR’s genetics, not to mention Jerry’s treasure trove of knowledge about every facet of pass catching, route running, how to read/beat defenders . . . [Reply]

Thomas' injuries in a couple of those seasons seemed a bit fishy and drama-related. Many felt he wanted out of New Orleans and was slow-playing his recovery as a sort of holdout tactic and to possibly force a trade. [Reply]

It's the fit, he's an X receiver that can run all of the underneath possession stuff so when you mix him with Kelce and the outside speed it means odds are he should have an easy time finding space. [Reply]

Ahhh you said RBs I think in your post, but you meant WRs... ummm yeah I think we'll utilize 7 WRs over the course of the season, I'm expecting Rice will be out half the season which should give us some time to learn what we've got in Brown & Worthy, as well as get Watson, Sky, and Toney some attempts.

What do you think?
I'm predicting appox 4.3k yards passing.
I think odds are another vet WR gets added at some point.
I think it'll look like this
Brown, Worthy, Rice and Watson are absolute locks to make the team. I think Toney makes it also just because of talent and return ability...that leaves one 1 spot for a vet.
Hence I think Ross and Moore are toast, Ross is probably a PS player.
Yards wise with the additions of Brown and Worthy making Kelce's job easier I think Mahomes gets closer to 5k again. [Reply]
