Julio,Ridley,Pitts,AJ Brown,Henry..

With Julio being traded to the Titans:

Ridley: gets a nice boost
Pitts: gets a boost on paper

AJ Brown: slight hit short term
Julio: not much change

Henry: less carries, slight hit


Thoughts?

IMO Julio should be given a slight downgrade. Moving to a new team isn't always immediately friendly for WRs.

I agree with this. I think AJ Brown and Henry start the same as before Julio.

[fourdeans]

Really on the fence with Julio. He's such a huge cap hit on me but it's hard to just let him go.

[Ray Finkle]

AJB and DHenry retain imo. This offense is built on efficiency already. As impossible as it seems for AJB to be more efficient, Julio over there is the one thing that could make it happen. Slight downgrade for Julio compared to typical Atlanta play style/pass attempts.

I love the landing spot for real life football.

Trying to find stats on coverage personnel/types for each pair last year, AJB/Davis and Julio/Ridley

It’s tough for me to just guess at it. Can Ridley thrive without Julio drawing coverage? Was Ridley already getting more bracket/number one corners? I didn’t watch Atlanta too closely as I didn’t have anyone.

Tennessee, I feel like Davis being productive gave AJB some help, even though he routinely made plays against doubles anyways. Feels to me like Julio stepping in there is a push, unless I see more info there.

Anyone know a place for coverage stats?

Agree that Julio is the only one who will drop some while everyone else should retain. Pitts has a red carpet to break rookie TE records, so a lot of the early concern about overvalue is dwindling.

Gage also a winner here, as he'll be in all 2 wide sets.

I like it across the board for fantasy, except for Julio who gets a slight downgrade going to a run first offense.

Hate it in real life as a Colts fan.

Henry should get a bump if Julio still carries his aura and defenses give him more respect than they did C Davis. He should see less stacked boxes

I think Ridley did very well last season with Julio being out for quite a few times.

Julio being traded was already baked into Pitts’ price. Same for Ridley. Ridley averaged 7.25 catches, 107 yards, and 0.375 TDs per game without Julio, for a total of 20.2 PPR PPG. I think he’ll be just fine.

AJ Brown is now unlikely to see a completely bonkers target share, but he’s still the Dynasty WR1-3 and this shouldn’t change where you have him.

Henry’s dynasty outlook doesn’t change. If you had concerns that having only Brown in the passing game would allow defenses to play the run more heavily, I guess those concerns have been addressed.

As for Julio, this is a good spot. Consolidated target share, gets to play Jacksonville and Houston twice a year, won’t face bracket coverage. Tennessee’s defense is still bad enough that they’ll be in a few shootouts.

How about our boy Anthony Firkser? Stays the same or back to waivers?

I don't imagine you'll be able to bet on him with any kind of consistency, but he'll probably still have a handful of +50 yard games where he scores.

Pitts now has to break rookie TE records or he'll be a 'disappointment' and have his dynasty value fall.

[jordanzs]

It would be really annoying if Pitts converts to a WR like Colston did. I want those TE premium points out of him.

Bad for Matt Ryan and Julio Jones. Good everybody else on the Titans and on the Falcons
