hmfc_liam06 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Decker has not been fully fit for a while and still isn't I think. Don't get the point of them offloading veterans though and then trying to get Steve Smith. They really are a shambles. Practicing fully so I'd expect him to be healthy for the start of the season...he better be, I drafted him in our dynasty!! Though rumours of him going to Baltimore would do me zero favours, mind you, it's probably a step up. Crazy to think Maclin and Decker are available in June!

I had read somewhere that he was wearing a red no contact jersey and assumed he still wasn't, but just checked and your right, he supposedly was looking impressive at ota's. I mentioned Kenny Golladay for your Lions before, he's supposedly looking awesome at ota's. Early days, but could be the one to fill the void left by Megatron...here's hoping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went undrafted in an IDP dynasty league I run, I picked him up and now trying to flog Marvin Jones. We must have great faith in him (and Roberts) to not renew Boldin's contract. He was a Red Zone beast for us last season. Edited June 7, 2017 by hmfc_liam06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones, Tate, Golladay, Ebron, Roberts, Riddick and even Abdullah can be effective. Not a particularly amazing set of players but it's effective, no one really knows what's coming!

hmfc_liam06 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 How about a waaaay too early division prediction? AFC North Steelers Ravens Bengals Browns A poor division outside the Steelers I feel. AFC East Patriots Dolphins Bills JetsFancy the Dolphins in their second season under Gase to put a little pressure on the Pats. AFC South Titans Texans Colts Jags I really like what the Titans are putting together, reckon they'll sneak a very close division. AFC West Raiders Chiefs Broncos Chargers Best division in football just now? I could pick this division again tomorrow and it'll be different. NFC North Lions obviously Packers Bears Vikings Don't know why but I've a feeling the Vikings are going to flop this season, watch out for them making a Super Bowl appearance...NFC East Cowboys Giants Redskins Eagles Similar to the AFC West, this could be anyones, and I include the Eagles in that. NFC South Saints Falcons Bucs Panthers Another tight division and probably a rival for the AFC West as the best in the league. NFC West Seahawks Cardinals 49ers Rams This just isn't a great division!

AFC North Bengals Steelers Ravens Browns Don't think Dalton is a top end QB, but had a poor time last season with AJ Green injured. Now he's fit and with the other additions on offence, I think they're going to be a lot better...or they'll just be the usual Bungles AFC East Patriots Dolphins Bills Jets As long as Brady isn't struck by the Madden curse, it's normal service. Jets guaranteed bottom, so agree with you on this one. AFC South Colts Titans Texans Jags This is a really tough one to call. Think it depends on whether Luck is fully fit in time for the opener. I'm biased and going for the Colts and for Moncrief to finally break out. Titans to push them all the way, Texans still having QB problems and the Jags to improve, but next year will be big for them. AFC West Raiders Chiefs Broncos Chargers Two way battle for the top spot and Broncos and Chargers battling it out for the bottom spot...agree NFC North Packers Lions Bears Vikings Packers for one reason only...Rodgers. Lions for second, as they have a better offence than the others. NFC East Cowboys Redskins Giants Eagles Zeke to run wild again. Redskins will continue to put up good numbers, but the Giants have a problem...Eli is regressing. NFC South Falcons Bucs Panthers Saints Matt and Julio combined with their top running game to go again. Bucs have even more weapons now and should push them all the way. Carolina have made some good additions, but not convinced it's all going to come together this year. Saints bringing up the rear. NFC West Seahawks 49ers Cardinals Rams Agree...This just isn't a great division! Seahawks because of their defence and Wilson being fully fit will get it done. Going to shock you here, but I think Shanahan is immediately going to improve this bunch, not greatly, but enough to take second spot. QB is an issue for the Cards now and the same with the Rams.

hmfc_liam06 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) The beauty of the NFL is you can genuinely make a case for the majority of sides. You may not agree with some views but they're usually valid arguments. 49ers may well finish 2nd in the division...but I doubt it'll be with a playoff qualifying win total, most definitely a losing record. It's such a bad division, football wise. Edited June 7, 2017 by hmfc_liam06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianc1106 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 There is a team available in the 5-1 Dynasty League, its got a lot of quality in the roster - Bell, Johnson, Gurley, Bryant, Robinson and Cooks, so a great situation for anyone to take over. Here's the link to it http://www59.myfantasyleague.com/2017/options?L=36505&O=07&F=0003 Once we get a new owner, the rookie draft will get up and running right away, so the sooner, the better. Its a paid league, so ?5.35 for the season. If anyone is interested, give me a shout and it will be first one to respond and pay that gets the team. Odds on favourite to win the league as well!

Saw this on Twitter this morning: From 2012-2015, Eric Decker is 2nd in red zone TDs & 3rd in red zone receptions. Mariota is #1 in red zone passer rating since entering NFL. If Decker can get back to those numbers in 2017 after being injured for most of last year the Titans will be a force this season.
