Big Time PANIC For Big Time STUDS – 2024 Fantasy Football Advice
we're only three weeks into the fantasy football season but the writing is already on the wall for a few players for some players the Panic is real and we need to jump ship but for other players the panic in the public is all for [Music] nothing yeah that's right today we're going to be talking about a few players that people are current panicking on when it comes to fantasy football but we're going to dive into a few of these players and find out if the Panic is warranted or not but I know emotions run high in fantasy football these days so let's go ahead and Dive Right In the first player we need to talk about is a quarterback it's Anthony Richardson and he may be the quarterback in fantasy football that the most people are frustrated and panicking on right now and I get it the guy was drafted as a top five or six quarterback in fantasy football drafts this off season the expectations were super high and here we are after 3 weeks he finds himself as the current quarterback 14 overall and has scored under 13 fantasy points now in back-to-back ball games but why why is this happening well the easiest thing to see right off the bat is his rushing production is now down in three straight ball games he has no rushing touchdowns over the last two weeks and he really isn't throwing the ball that much he's averaging only 24 pass attempts per game which is fourth lowest in the NFL but here's where it gets really bad he's only completed 12 passes a game on average through the first three weeks of the season so the rushing production is down and they're barely throwing the ball at all but then it gets even worse he's actually thrown six interceptions in 3 weeks despite the fewer pass attempts so with this Indianapolis passing offense struggling right now I'm actually going to head over to Underdog and hit the higher on 0.5 interceptions this week for Anthony Richardson he's thrown six picks through three games and now has a difficult matchup yeah give me the higher of 05 interceptions in week four but that's not it there's also a gimme pick in there this week as well where Patrick Mahomes only needs one yard to hit so let me make some eye contact here with you for a second cuz we've been talking about Underdog for a long time and I know there's a few of you out there that have been waiting for the perfect time to sign up well that is right now so like I said head over to Underdog download the app create a new account using the referral code Headliners when you do so make that initial minimum $10 deposit and let's start winning some Underdog pick thems together but let's go ahead and dive back into Anthony Richardson because there's still other things to discuss here and really when I look at the Colts overall passing offense there's something that really stands out to me it's not so much the low passing volume it's that when they actually do throw the football they're focusing on throwing the ball deep down the field way too much and I can say that because when we dive into the metric air yards per attempt which is going to measure the amount of yardage the ball travels through the air prior to reaching the receiver Anthony Richardson is currently sitting at 13.7 yards per attempt that is huge other quarterbacks that are just behind him in this same metric don't even crack 10 air yards per attempt and I get it he's got some deep threats in Michael Pitman and Josh DS and Alec Pierce we know that JT can catch the ball out of the back field but really in conclusion it's this the rushing production is falling the low passing volume on a week- toe basis is not helping him out not to mention when he does throw the football it's very low percentage throws that's enough to equal a lot of panic in fantasy football now don't get me wrong Anthony Richardson has the tools to bounce back and have a strong second half of the season but Indianapolis is going to have to totally revamp their entire offensive scheme luckily the quarterback position in fantasy football is super deep but with tough matchups coming up against the likes of Pittsburgh Tennessee Miami Houston Minnesota Buffalo the Jets and Detroit the Panic should be real for Anthony Richardson now a lot of people want to know what to do with him honestly I'm not starting him on my fantasy football team until I see this offense really turn the corner does that mean I'm just dropping him for a bag of potato chips to the waiver wire no I'm not if you have room to stash him I'm holding for another couple weeks if possible what about the Panic surrounding Rashad White of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers backto back stinkers he's dealing with a groin injury and Bucky Irving is looking great every single time he touches the football and it's causing panic everywhere but here's what really has me worried white is a volume guy he needs it every single game you cannot average 3.8 yards per touch that's not yards per carry that's yards per touch and then see decreased volume he has back-to-back games right now with only 11 touches that's something he only had one time the entire season of 2023 only one game under 15 touches now we've seen backto back with only 11 he's currently outside the top 30 running backs at the position in carries rush yards yards per carry yards per touch Breakaway run rate and has been stuffed at or behind the line of scrimmage already nine times this season now don't get me wrong I love the involvement in the passing game but could we see Rashad white transition into a little bit more of a third down roll going forward with Bucky Irving playing so good he's just so much better on the ground he's averaging almost six yards per carry which is three times better than what we're seeing from Rashad white so is the Panic warranted 100% for sure is Rashad white useless in fantasy football and able to be dropped I'm not going to go that far just yet let's see how he bounces back from the groin injury he's currently dealing with because he still may see enough volume to be a decent deeper League flex play weekly but the expectations that people had this off season for Rashad white to be top 10 at the position yeah that's probably not going to happen if you thought that you should be in total panic mode how about Brandon auk of the San Francisco 49ers Christian mcaffrey is out Debo is out George KD is hurt and auk was entering week three with a huge opportunity then he goes out and has five catches for 4 8 yards and watches Jan Jennings go the hell off now all of a sudden everyone wants to call auk washed and they want to jump ship they right that he got paid he's not going to even try anymore that's what a lot of people are saying out there and honestly I get it the dude hasn't finished inside the top 40 wide receivers in a game yet this season but we knew that auk didn't participate much this off season and was going to start the season a little bit slow he just had the most targets he's had in a game since 2022 and he really just barely missed a couple big plays last week the 49ers are going to continue missing some of their top guys for a few more weeks Jennings just showed opposing defenses that they need to pay a little bit more attention to him and Brock pie is pretty damn good they didn't just pay Brandon iuk all that money to abandon him in the offense the slow start absolutely sucks but I'm not panicking yet and if someone is I'll gladly Buy Low on Brandon auk now we go to to Tyreek Hill the Miami Dolphins and obviously Tyreek without Tua is going to result in a fantasy letdown Skyler Thompson just isn't a quarterback that really benefits the likes of Tyreek Hill but right now we do not know for sure when Tua is going to return and people are starting to worry and panic about their first round pick trading him right now is kind of hard a lot of people know by this point he doesn't have his starting quarterback which means lesser production which really means a lot of people aren't going to offer you much for Tyreek Hill but maybe there's a silver lining it sounds like there's an opportunity for Miami to transition to Tyler Huntley and Tyler Huntley is a former Pro Bowl quarterback that has to be an improvement right yes but is it enough to make Ty Hill worth that first round overall draft pick no probably not pretty doubtful but in reality it's really hard to know that for sure because when Tyler Huntley got an opportunity in Baltimore he didn't have stud receivers to throw the ball to like a Ty kill or a Jaylen waddle he really loved just to throw the ball to Mark Andrews and then Dink and dunk down the field everywhere else now maybe we could see that Dink and dunk going the way of Tyreek Hill and jayen Wadd get them the ball quick let's see if they can make something happen but if we know that sitting here at home you have to believe that opposing defenses are going to be expecting that as well now had a veteran quarterback like an Andy Dalton stepped in for Tua I think we still have top 12 Tyreek but with these mobile short throwing quarterbacks that they have in Miami right now I think we're destined for a whole lot of Tyreek Hill five catches for 40 yard type games sure he'll make the occasional big play He Is that good but we didn't draft Tyreek Hill to get us five catches for 40 yards very often if you have a dumb League mate and I know a lot of you do out there that is willing to give you anything of value for Tyreek Hill I am trading him right away because the longer this goes on the more he struggles you're not going to be able to get anything for him and the Panic is going to go into overdrive I feel like I also need to bring up Michael Pitman Jr in this show as well because if we talked about Anthony Richardson and his struggles to start the show you have to think that his top wide receiver is struggling as well and he most definitely is he doesn't even have a 100 total yards receiving through three full games and has only had nine catchable Targets in three weeks that is bad now everything we said about Anthony Richardson can be applied here to Michael Pitman when his quarterback is going to struggle so is he the Panic is real I don't feel comfortable starting Michael Pitman Jr right now you can't really trade him because a lot of people aren't going to give you any value in return so we're kind of stuck with him right this second now as upsetting and as depressing as it is I'm not just dropping Michael Pitman to waivers just yet I'm trying to hold off another 2 to 3 weeks if possible to see if Indianapolis can write the ship luckily the wide receiver position is very deep in fantasy football and you should have other options on your roster to maybe play in the meantime until we see what really happens with the Colts now let's talk about Devonte Adams of the Los Angeles Raiders and really people expected more from him through the first three weeks of the Season Especially since one of his games was against the Carolina Panthers but we're really just seeing an exact replay of what we saw in 20123 he's going to average right around 10 targets a game he's going to get you a touchdown every two weeks or so and he's going to average right in the ballpark of six catches for 65 to 70 yards a week with those averages last season Devonte Adams was a top 12 fantasy wide receiver and with some of the problems we have with other highly drafted wide receivers like Tyreek Hill maybe even Garrett Wilson you have to think that top 12 is still in the realm of possibilities for Devonte Adams and it really doesn't matter if they stick with Gardner muu or they go to Aiden oconnell we've seen this in the past already it's going to be a lot of volume and a lot of average now we also have that chance that maybe he gets traded some point around midseason if the Raiders are absolutely sucking but we know he's going to be the top Target in this offense the fact that he was drafted as a top 12 wide receiver and that he's still on Pace to become a top 12 wide receiver means a lot of the panic probably isn't warranted just yet however it is worth noting that over the next few weeks he faces the likes of Cleveland Den Denver and Pittsburgh which means there is that possibility that it gets worse before it gets better how about a couple bigname tight ends first up it's Mark Andrews of the Baltimore Ravens and we may get more comments about people frustrated and panicking on Mark Andrews than any other tight end in football and I really don't understand why I think a lot of people once again overpaid for Mark Andrews now he currently has six catches for 65 yards and no touchdowns through three weeks which is not ideal for a top four drafted tight end he has the worst statistical averages of his career in every single metric this season Isaiah likely stole some of the Thunder early the team is once again running a lot in Baltimore and Andrew only has eight Targets on 56 routes run only six of those eight targets were even deemed catchable and they still want to try to get the ball to Rashad bman a little bit more now all of this would be swallowed if he was scoring touchdowns the tight end position is that bad but he has zero Red Zone targets through three games and that is not helping anyone I told everyone all off season long to avoid Mark Andrews even put it in the draft guide so if you took him the Panic meter better be flashing already now right now the only saving grace is that all tight ends are sucking it's not like everyone in your league has a great tight end except for you if you have Mark Andrews it is pretty much a crap shoot each and every week to whether or not you're going to get a tight end that scores any points now similar to other players in this show you can't really Trade Mark Andrews you're not going to get anything for him and I don't want to drop him just yet more than likely you're going to be streaming tight end for the near future anyway so hold Mark Andrews on your bench and let's see if anything can change by the time we get to midseason but I also need to talk about Travis Kelce here for a minute as well and I know I'm already on record this offseason with saying hey I'm avoiding Travis Kelce and 2024 arguably I think I did pretty good on the tight end position this off season but damn did I get some hate for it at the time but now we're starting to see exactly why through three games he has eight catches for 69 yards and no touchdowns all three of those games were close games in which Mahomes was throwing the ball all four quarters as well then they also include a game with no Isaiah Pacho where they had to piece together the running game at this point Travis Kelce is in decoy mode the Chiefs have enough on offense where they don't need to force feed the ball to Travis Kelce weekly they want to keep him healthy and they want to unleash him in the playoffs it's why we're seeing Noah gray have similar numbers this season to Travis Kelce the game plan has to be this feed Rashi Rice have the occasional big play shot to Xavier worthy and then pound it on the ground and dump it off to the backs rinse and repeat and because of that the Chiefs are currently 3 and 0 really no reason for them to change their mindset set you should be panicked about Travis Kelce what I'm doing in this situation is I'm waiting for one good game as soon as he has a good game you can still use the name value and the bounceback game to try to sell him because the days of every week be a Travis Kelce week are just over so as you can see there's a lot of bigname players out there with a whole lot of panic in fantasy football I know that Garrett Wilson's name gets brought up quite a bit and really I want to see what happens this week on Thursday Night Football because he could definitely find himself in this position pretty quick if he can't start putting together some big time numbers but if you're trying to stay ahead of the curve and have the best team possible make sure you're tuning in to our trade videos that we drop every other week we're trying to be proactive in that show and make moves to really capitalize on whatever value we can get out of players so if you haven't subscribed yet now is the time to do so but I'm going to go ahe and get out of here the day hopefully you guys enjoy the rest of your day and then most importantly do your part to make the world a better place and I off the chain other channels not the same Jake and K you know the name headline Nation we running the game"}]
