Agreed. my drafts are coming up, but I wonder where he is going. I have to think he isn’t falling past the 2nd round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have very good players on defense, but depth is a serious question. Agree, and that's been their problem on defense (injuries). However, I think they have much better depth across their team....nobody at TJ or Highsmith level, but those are blue chip talents. I do like Herbig, their rookie. He has the look of a potential steal as a 4th rounder. Young team on offense, but alot of vets on that defense. Glad we don't play the North this season, likely the best division in football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to think he isn’t falling past the 2nd round? I think that'd be a major reach, but if you have a lot of Steeler fans in your draft...then yeah, someone will draft him in the 2nd or 3rd round. He's probably a 5th-6th rounder in 12 team PPR leagues. I look at the Steeler offense and see a "balanced attack". They aren't going to air it out each week, like us or Chiefs. Pickett isn't talented enough or there yet. And when they do throw, they have a group of weapons that will spread the touches. Redzone- Freiermuth is a monster, and see them running alot. Washington will be used alot there too. Long story short, Pickens is a good player but in FF he's probably in the 30-35 range of WRs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got Pickens in a dynasty 12 team PPR 3 Flex 1 Super Flex league at spot 6.12 as my WR2/3 (as the next pick I took Michael Pittman). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillenger4 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 The AFC North is a great division this year. Cincy, Balt and Steelers are looking tough! I wish the Bills were tougher but we will see. Miami, NE and the Jets all got better. It's gonna be tough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiMark Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 20 hours ago, CincyBillsFan said: Even better if it was the AFC north cannibalizing themselves with their division winner finishing in 4th place in the standings. And the Ravens 7 year preseason winning streak didn't exactly translate to elite play in the regular season with only 1 playoff win through that time. But to be fair, that was partly our fault. For beating them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richardson looked like what I was expecting Allen to look like based on all the "accuracy" flak, but both were indeed firing the ball on a line. https://www.nfl.com/videos/top-5-josh-allen-plays-2018-preseason-253924 Thanks for the clip. Some nice Ray Ray highlights. Now that McKenzie is gone, do you think we made the right choice?

Sestak4ever Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 In the Pats vs the Titans game, it appears the Pats will end up with 79 total yards of offense. Scrubs or not, that is just bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty shackleford Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Just flipped on NFL network as I go to bed and they are showing a replay of the Carolina/Detroit game and noticed Blackshear is working with the 1st stringers…. They must really like him in Carolina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78thealltimegreat Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Still don’t know what to make of the Jets they should be better but it’s obvious against most of the Giants backups they are having problems protecting Rogers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterStrategist Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Rodgers looking like the old man he is, tripping all over himself. Love Wink and his aggressive defense. Goes Cover 0 the first 5 plays then "simulates" pressure and gets heat with a 4-man rush. These teams don't like each other 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Matter_What Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 That Jets D-line looks really good. Jets O-Line on the other hand... Our opener looks like a 20-17 type game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
