He gained 20lbs of lean muscle, and has a 4.28/40 posted on his Insta, meaning he actually trained for the 1st time in his entire football life. Of course there's no guarantee he won't be suspended by October, but he's poised for a breakout year.

He's never actually tried to be good before, so I'm kinda excited

would you say he's in the best shape of his life??

I would be pretty skeptical of those self-reported numbers if I were you. I used to be the king of hyping up breakout years for players when I did fantasy football and it is loving NEVER the guy anyone thinks it is. It's always some doofus who just happens to have a natural ability to get open.

I mean, last year it was loving Terrel Pryor.

I called that.

Look I just want everyone to have a Nelson Agholor on their team okay?

Edit: Actually that's a really bad comparison because Bryant has shown NFL skill in games and not just practice

They drafted a USC WR this year, so maybe Juju Smith-Schuster is that guy. Sammie Coates and DHB are already on the roster tho

I don't watch Steeler games closely but I would bet DHB is essentially a "Brown needs room underneath" button.

Keenan Allen will lead the league in receptions this year, provided his body doesn't explode

If the rest of pass catchers on that team go down with injuries, sure.

Well, it's the Chargers

If last year was any indication, he's by far Rivers' favorite target. Granted the sample size was one half against the Chiefs, but Mike Williams is already looking like a bust, Melvin Gordon and Travis Benjamin suck, and Tyrell Williams is just okay

Yeah, kind of my thoughts. Good players for sure, but slow your roll on the HoF votes my man! Wentz? Cooks? Cooper? Winston? Gotta see more production and more sample size.

Excellent choice

I had to. How in the hell have I never seen a Rice 49ers Jersey in the wild but I've now seen a Raiders one and this Seahawks one? Who in the hell owned this initially?

DGB chat: IMO, the most infuriating thing about him was that he refused to fight for position or get open. DBs could pretty much push him anywhere they wanted. Dude was what, something like 6'5, 240 and was either soft as poo poo or super low :effort:.

Maybe the jags shouldn't have given Gregg the playbook

As an impartial third party let me arbitrate.


Gregg Fisher of the Tennessee Titans had the playbook of the Jaguars. That is clear evidence of cheating by the Pittsburg Steelers and as such Pittsburgh must forfeit all future picks up to #50 to the Cincinnati Bengals and all picks from #51 to #100 to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

A defense considered by many to be in the same class as the '85 Bears and '00 Ravens is ranked 18. Checks out.

This is pretty much how I feel about that same year for the Saints. A year that coincidentally started with a crazy shootout with the Packers.
