And now, on to our expert's analysis of this week's action.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Carolina Panthers
If you ever want to get me with old takes exposed…oh boy did
I whiff on this game. Tom Brady
($11.59, -9%) looks closer to the end than at any point in his career. This
game appeared closed for almost its entirety but never really felt like Tampa
had a lifeline.
Mike Evans
($10.90) dropped an early pass in what could have set the tempo for the entire
game. Instead after that drop, it looked like Tampa had lost some of its
luster. Perhaps Brady isn't all in, or perhaps his situation is starting to
affect his play. In either scenario, the pundits will blame Brady for this
loss, but the loss goes far beyond #12.
Leonard Fournette looked like he was running with cement
blocks on his legs. He struggled to get anything going in this game and might
be headed for greener pastures along with Brady this off-season. We could see
an eventual youth movement toward Rachaad White
($2.37, -9%) depending on how this season shakes out. Along with Fournette, and
the drop by Evans this team has some soul-searching to do.
While I completely missed the ball on the Buccaneers, I was
right about the Carolina Panthers. PJ Walker
($0.79, 14%) appeared to deliver competent play and made the most out of DJ Moore
($0.84, 24%). The Panthers have told us they view DJ Moore as a cornerstone
piece, and that remains to be seen as we approach the deadline. Speculation
will heat up this week as to whether more pieces get moved or not.
The younger core pieces of Terrance Marshall
($1.73), and Chuba
Hubbard ($3.65, 32%) appeared to help as well. While Marshall dropped
his target he was open, and I wonder how he will do down the stretch this
season should the team move on from Moore. I don't buy many of these weapons as
long-term investments but they were excellent short terms ones, and perhaps
Marshall can be a great long-term one.
New York Jets @ Denver Broncos
The grave for Nathaniel Hacketts' coaching career continues
to be dug weekly. It has become so apparent there are even rumors he may be the
first-ever coach fired in year 1 during that season. While Russell Wilson
($8.16, -3%) didn't play Brett Rypien
($0.89, -7%) played well enough to win this game.
Jerry Jeudy
($1.50, 4$) appeared to have one of his better games of the year with Rypien
under center and was the lone bright spot on offense. Melvin Gordon
($5.63, -20%) continued to be benched essentially only getting 10 carries for
33 yards delivering the same results in essence to the 8 carries of Latavius Murray
($3.40, 7%) who at least got the lone Bronco touchdown. In all, it's obvious we
shouldn't be wasting time investing in this Broncos team.
As for the Jets, we have another blow to the dynasty
community with Breece
Hall ($11.10, -5%) suffering a torn ACL. This injury elevates Michael Carter
($3.34, 8%) for the rest of the season, or at least until James Robinson
($1.00, -21%) learns the playbook, and he could be a really good investment
based on well this team has been running the ball. The Jets are going to have
to lean on Zach
Wilson ($3.25, -10%) the rest of the way and see if he's able to carry
this team to the promised land or at least the playoffs. It also remains to be
seen what the Jets end up doing with Elijah Moore
($5.65), who single-handedly looks to knock the Jets out of the playoff race
with his demand to be traded. Until we get more clarity, look for Garrett Wilson
($5.20, -8%) to continue to be the main target along with Corey Davis
($1.01, -22%).
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Miami Dolphins
This game essentially lived up to its low expectations.
While the game was close, it was Kenny Pickett
($3.13, -5%) is going to have to learn to not lose games early in his career.
Many pundits will write Pickett off as a bust, and he very well could be, but I
think any determination of him through less than half a season is unjust. Even
when I openly criticize Justin Fields
($3.27), I openly will admit those players prove me wrong.
In the case of Kenny Pickett, it's hard for me to think it
will not work on some level based on the talent that is around him at the
moment. With George
Pickens ($5.40, 17%), Diontae Johnson
($1.46, -6%), and maybe Chase Claypool
($2.32, -4%) around him it'll be hard to see him fall on his face. He's
learning to read defense just like any rookie, and I think by the season's end
we will see real progress with him and his weapons.
However, the Dolphins won this game and are happy to end
their losing streak. I again will say I'm less than impressed with the
performance of Tua
Tagovailoa ($3.34, -2%). While Tua completed almost 2/3rd of his passes,
he still hasn't delivered an impressive performance against an impressive team
to me or done it on a consistent level. I believe that truly limits his ceiling
which is necessary when breaking down investments.
As far as the pass catchers go, Tyreek Hill
($12.50) and Jaylen
Waddle ($8.21, -4%) have impressed me immensely this season. I had
questions as to whether or now the Dolphins would be able to support 2 top 24
wide receivers and will take another loss on that front. In all, I think the
receivers are solid long-term investments this season.
