The 2024 NFL season will be Forced to be a fantasy football manager He endured a fair amount of injuries and even managed to escape several weeks where his top players were completely shut out.
But now we're tasked with navigating five new quarterbacks taking snaps for the team this week, and the wide receivers we expected to take us to the Finals are now on the roster. It has a question mark.
Browns wideout Jerry Jeudy was supposed to be this season's savior, a true league champion.
With Jameis Winston under center for the past seven games, Jeudy averaged seven catches and 112.3 receiving yards on 10 targets per game.
He had three 100-yard attempts (one for 235 yards) and found the end zone three times. His lowest performance during that span was 12.9 PPR points, and he exceeded the 20-point threshold three times.
Well, here in the Week 16 fantasy semifinals, the Browns are playing against the Bengals, who have arguably one of the worst pass defenses in the league.
Huge, right?
Do you think you are the league champion? Not so fast.
Winston is known for his “hack it, chuck it” style, and interceptions are all part of his game.
Everyone knows that. Even the Browns.
Do you want to bet on the NFL?
But this week, they decided they couldn't tolerate any more turnovers and replaced Winston with Dorian Thompson-Robinson.
So how are we expected to rate Judy this week?
Can Thompson vs. Robinson be trusted, and can we even afford to consider it during fantasy playoffs?
With other receivers such as Keenan Allen, Jalen McMillan and Adam Thielen becoming more valuable, who do you trust in the lineup?
These three demonstrate that we have consistent quality goals.
Caleb Williams and Bryce Young rely heavily on veterans, and McMillan appears to have finally filled the No. 2 receiver hole in Baker Mayfield left by Chris Godwin.
Considering Thompson-Robinson's track record and lack of practice time with Jeudy, all three seem to be better options with higher floors.
And the Browns are just the tip of the iceberg.
The Falcons benched Kirk Cousins in place of Michael Penix Jr.
The Titans will remain with Mason Rudolph.
The Saints are releasing Spencer Rattler and the Giants are bringing back Drew Lock.
Players like Drake Rondon and Calvin Ridley are joining Jeudy in a group of receivers who may or may not be reliable.
Accomplishing your goals and siding with a more reliable quarterback may be the only way to advance to your dream Super Bowl.
