The views on Tyrek Hill for the rest of the year. Hold or Sell.? Thinking to flip to Jefferson.?
Trade him.
Already lost $2.6m and with an 87BE set to lose another $2.9m if he scores 24.
Miami are the lowest scoring team at 11.0 ppg; the next lowest is NE at 13.0 ppg
Miami have 223.7 pass yards per game, ranked 11th, and they average 22.7 catches per game, ranked 13th
But they are only averaging 0.7 TD per game. ranked 25th.

IF, the Miami offence continues to be this poor then there aren't a lot of RDT points to go around.
The pass yards and catches equate 44.74 + 22.7 = 67.44 RDT ppg.
Even if Hill is the dominant receiver and gets a 40% share that is only 27 RDT ppg.
There are currently 14 WRs averaging more than that, and a 40% share is highly unlikely.

Now the Miami offence may improve, but Tua isn't returning soon and this week they are starting Huntley:
a 5th year QB who was signed by Baltimore as an un-drafted free agent in 2020, his only start was in wk.17, 2023
signed by Cleveland in early 2024, released, re-signed by Baltimore to their practice squad, signed by Miami in September, 2024.
It's understandable that Cleveland released him: they have Watson and Winston
But the Baltimore QB2 is a 38yo who has been on 7 different teams from 2009 - 2023.

So it's hard to have any faith in his playing ability.
I'm not saying he might not be good in the right system but the odds are against it.
Malik Willis has helped GB to two wins but they were based on the run game and defence:

I traded in Rice 0pts and Gesicki 0pts this round and my VCapt Hall scores 4pts 🙄
Gesicki wasn't any good covering McBride.
At least my 3rd trade in Chase 32pts did well.

Eliminator Challenge - Final Results

Everyone has been eliminated now, with The Night Manager eliminated after picking the Jets this week. Final results are in the table below. Hopefully you enjoyed trying something a bit different, even if it ended up being a very short competition this year.

Does anyone else get the feeling that KC are perhaps having too much fun?
Not exactly trolling us but saying: "look what we can do, we don't even need Mahomes to win"
From 2018-2022 they won on the back of Mahomes' passing.
They averaged 28+ ppg with Mahomes' averaging 35+ pass attempts per game.

Then last year they averaged only 21.8 ppg and Mahomes only 25 attempts per game.
They won off the back of their defence which limited opponents to only 17.3 ppg after conceding 21+ ppg in previous seasons.

Now this year is more of the same.
KC are scoring 23.0 ppg and their opponents 18.0 ppg.
Mahomes is averaging 30 attempts per game - more than last year but with an arguably better receiving corps - with his 39 last week an outlier.
Instead of throwing deep, his average depth of target is the lowest of his career and, after wk.3, 3rd lowest of all QBs.
2018: 9.1 yds. 2019: 8.8, 2020: 8.3, 2021: 7.3, 2022: 7.3, 2023: 6.5, 2024: 5.2

That's a complete change of game plan.

Wrong week to have got in Allen. Henry and the Ravens dominant.

Can't buy a good Captain even at $26m :poop:
And the Ravens' coaching staff are annoying me.
They were saying all pre-season that they were looking for ways to get Likely more involved in the passing game.
Wk.1 appeared to bear that out: 9/12 - 111 yds - 1 TD
In three weeks since: 4/6 - 56 yds - 0 TD

The Baltimore run game now completely dominates:
wk.1: 32 rush v 41 pass; wk.2: 27 v 34; wk.3: 45 v 15; wk.4: 34 v 19
And to think I was naive enough to believe them!
