I think he means redraft? Guys like Sigmund Bloom are hyping him hard. Bloom in currently erecting a pyramid in honor of Kyler and Kliff, though.

I got him at 1.05 in my first bestball and felt like I died and went to heaven. I don't think people understand just how much the QB and coaching hurt him last season. What was that ridiculous stat, the one where they ran DJ up the middle like 80 more times than any other running back?

Assuming health, 1.05 is about his ceiling. I think you got a little too happy there. No way he outscores a healthy Zeke, Saquon, or Kamara.

contrarian opinion: oh wait, never mind. I agree with popular opinion!

In other words - the Mariota discussion is a discussion worth having - but to ensure that it doesnt overwhelm the purpose of this thread, its been placed in a better thread where I hope it continues.

Having Tyreek Hill back, will hurt Sammy Watkins perceived value, but may actually be better for his actual production (due to better efficiency in targets).

A lot of owners seem to feel that if Hill plays most of the season that this will be bad for Watkins. In a normal offence, I would likely agree - just because there are only so many targets to go around. However some offences have high enough or efficient enough volume that they can feed multiple players that they all have high end production. Maybe not to the degree that they are all elite producers, but enough that they have value in your lineup. So the KC offense could be strong enough that it could support 2 WRs & a TE (along with its RB).

Look at Pittsburgh last year. 2 WR1s, an RB1 and a TE1. Combined receiving targets for all involved was 462 (JJSS, AB, Conner & MacDonald).

Lets pretend Hills does not get a suspension. So he gets 140-150 targets. Watkins gets 110-120. Kelce gets 120-130 & D. Williams gets 80-100. Thats 500 targets using the high end for each. The Chiefs had 583 last year and the remaining 83 would be spread around

However Hill is likely to get a suspension - so we'll assume 4 games. Takes 40 targets (9-10 per game). So now its

Hill 90-100
Watkins 120-130
Kelce 140-150
D. Williams 80-100

Thats 480 (high end)

Not saying that it will happen. Just that Watkins should see enough targets, even with Hill & Kelce, that he could still be a mid WR2. Again assuming everyone is healthy, plays the full season (including Hill, DWill & Watkins).
