Ohhhhh yes, we are back! Who is pumped? I mean like really pumped!!! I mean like, already rosterbated a few times pumped. I know I am... easily 4 or 5 times worth. That is neither here nor there. Let get to what we really want to see - the D.D.A. I will let you take a guess who was there for the D.D.A and who left or never showed....
D.D.A Rankings
1. The J-Bones2. Watson's Happy Ending
3. The Cochness Monsters
4. ETN out your Grandma
5. Belt Fairy
6. Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams
7. Sideset TD's
8. Ankle Holster
9. Gruden Email Editor
10. Not Big Red
11. PEN15 Wrinkle
12. Hoosier Daddy?
13. Bluffton Backup Backups
14. Dixie Normous
Here are a few highlights from the discussion...
A) It was a quick consensus that Dixie Normous has a terrible team.... like awful... like a deuce after a graduation party with a Mexican cuisine buffet.
B) Some how Sideset TD's made it all the way to 7th overall, even though they were also considered 13th
C) Llams has a great chance to win in week 14 - nearly all of BBB's starting lineup is on bye - then again BBB might the bye week for everyone.
D) Big Red always had a good team, the same can't be said for Not Big Red
E) J-Bones actually has a great team, like head and shoulders better than everyone else's team
F) Llams should get an award... highest ranked team not in attendance at the D.D.A.
We also broke down the sleepers and question marks for each team.....
1. The J-Bones
Question Mark: Saquon Barkley is an easy question mark, nobody knows if the man can stay healthy. After Barkley, there is not a lot of depth.
Sleeper: Jakobi Meyers is New England's number one receiver and could easily find himself being extremely productive and maybe even in the starting lineup.
2. Watson's Happy Ending
Question Mark: Diontae Johnson and this is more due to his quarterback situation than his skill. Even though I was told, I still couldn't tell you who is throwing him the ball.
Sleeper: Antonio Gibson could be a complete stud for Washington. Not too mention the recent news of his backfield competitor getting shot.
3. The Cochness Monsters
Question Mark: Javonte Williams is the only first round question mark, but if you look at last year's only 1st round question mark - it panned out pretty well (N. Harris).
Sleeper: Bobby Anderson is going to be the stretch the field option for Baker Mayfield and could turn into a true boom-or-bust play for the Monsters.
4. ETN out your Grandma
Question Mark: J.K. Dobbins was going to be a question mark no matter what team took him, it is hard to trust a RB coming off that kind of injury without playing a single snap last season.
Sleeper: Dameon Pierce is another RB for ETN that didn't play a snap last season (rookie), but somebody has to be fantasy relevant for Houston, right? Right? RIGHT???
5. OBJ's in the Stands a.k.a Belt Fairy
Question Mark: Leonard Fournette is not a serious threat to catch the ball and there is a lot of questions about his age and touch share.
Sleeper: Marquez Valdez-Scantling is the most Mexican sounding African in the NFL, but he could find himself in the stretch the field role for Mahomes.
6. Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams
Question Mark: David Montgomery may be a homer pick, but in terms of running backs who don't catch the ball - he may be a poor man's everything.
Sleeper: Skyy Moore is a player that I know nothing about and was not touching with a ten-foot pole, but a lot of people are pretty high on him.
7. Sideset TD's
Question Mark: Zek Elliott is a guy you wanted 3 years ago, does he still have what it takes to be a fantasy star? Fantasy relevant? Starter for his own team?
Sleeper: Rhamondre Stevenson is a running back in NE and nobody knows which RB is going to get their chance on any given week, but guess right and you could see 20+ points.
8. Ankle Holster
Question Mark: Cam Akers is yet again another player that did not play a down in the 2021 season, gotta be nervous counting a guy like this.
Sleeper: Garrett Wilson - see Skyy Moore.... cuz I ain't got no clue the f**k this guy is.
9. Gruden Email Editor
Question Mark: Josh Jacobs is a player that once could be counted on, but does he still got it?
Sleeper: Dawson Knox could easily be a top 3 TE and see himself finishing inside the top 20 of pass catchers overall.
10. Not Big Red
Question Mark: Jerry Jeudy had his criminal filings discharged, but can he make it worthwhile with a decent season?!?
Sleeper: Chris Olave is a rookie who could have a huge season with the NO offense looking to score some points.
11. PEN15 Wrinkle
Question Mark: Elijah Mitchell is apart of an offense that will be riddled with question marks as long as Trey Lance hasn't proven himself.
Sleeper: Bobby Woods could see a lot of targets and could really score points - tough to trust, but could carve a definite starter role.
12. Hoosier Daddy?
Question Mark: D.J. Moore deserves a question mark - considering Baker couldn't really get anything going with OBJ.
Sleeper: Tony Pollard might be fighting for starter's touches, hell - he did last season.
13. Bluffton Backup Backups
Question Mark: Nyheim Hines - see worst picks of the draft.
Sleeper: D.J. Chark is a terrific wide receiver who could show up and show out with his new team.
14. Ayahuasca Dreamer a.k.a Dixie Normous
Question Mark: Travis Etienne - do you trust a 2nd year running back, that was injured all season last season.... and he still plays in Jacksonville.
Sleeper: Jahan Dotson - another one of those, who the f**k is this guy??? Everybody still thinks this could be a huge pick.
Worst Picks of the Draft
- Darnell Mooney in the 5th round is absolutely nuts. Players that were still available: Allen Robinson, Adam Theilen, Chase Claypool to name a few.
- Nyheim Hines was drafted 38th overall - which may rank this as one of the worst picks in the entire draft. We are talking about a legit backup RB when Josh Jacobs, Elijah Mitchell, Breece Hall, J.K. Dobbins, etc. where still on the board.
- I believe there a few others - but my memory is hazy and the dots are hard to see. You know where you can see the board and really see the marks? Abbett's basement, where there will be football on every Sunday and a few fellow managers will be there watching!!
Be on the lookout for the predictions in week 1.... also can't wait to out predict the mystery guest again this year!!
With Love,
Commish
