June 30: What trade with the Steelers means for the value of Te Jonnu Smith
Tristan H. Cockcroft: Smith was one of the largest revolutionary players in 2024, stimulating all the ends tight by fantastic PPR points after the Bye of the week 6 of the Miami Dolphins. It was strongly targeted in the red zone during this period, seeing 17 games in 12, therefore a certain regression, in particular in the department of Touché, was inevitable. Considering that Smith is now found with Arthur Smith, under which he finished 48th (2017), 35th (2018), 20th (2019), 17th (2020) and 17th (2023) in his position in five of his eight seasons of the NFL, these concerns are only strengthened. Pittsburgh steelers also have Pat Freiermuth to absorb certain targets in this position.
That said, Smith should serve a role of receiver / rear / L of the tight hybrid location with its new team, Creative uses which should at least maintain it on the radar of the first 10 of the post, although it. A large part of its fantastic production will depend on the importance of Aaron Rodgers of its disappointing in 2024. The arrival of Smith makes Freiermuth almost afterwards in all the deepest leagues (Read: 16 teams more).
June 10: How the signing of the Dobbins has an impact on the back of the broncos
Matt Bowen: The Denver Broncos signed the free ball bearer JK Dobbins to a one -year contract on Tuesday. Dobbins had 1,058 yards in total and nine hit last season for Los Angeles loaders, while making an average of 14.4 ppg in 13 games played. So let’s quickly discuss the fantastic impact of the veteran arrival in the broncos lounge.
The RJ Harvey recruit should maintain its role as a head runner in the attack by Sean Payton, which includes the targets designed in the game of passes. Harvey has the features to be deployed as a double threat in this system. However, Dobbins will remove a few Harvey races, and his physical racing style could lead to more work on the goal line. For this reason, Harvey will place some locations in my pre-season ranking, but there remains a solid RB2 / Flex.
Yes, Dobbins has a history of injuries, playing in just 37 games during its first four seasons as a pro. This must be mentioned here. But if the Dobbins can remain healthy, it adapts as No. 2 in this offense, which would decrease the roles of the audric and Jaleel McLaughlin in 2025.
June 5: what Aronon Rodgers to Steelers means for fantasy
Matt Bowen: Aaron Rodgers plans to sign with Pittsburgh Steelers, Espn’s Adam Schefter said on Thursday.
Rodgers, who will be 42 years old during the 2025 season, launched for 3,897 yards, 29 Touché passes and 11 interceptions last year as a member of the New York Jets, which, by coincidence, welcome the Steelers of week 1. Justin Fields, which started the first six games of Pittsburgh last season, is now the presumed starter of jets.
In terms of fantastic impact of Rodgers, we had already been project your statistics Based on him joining the Steelers.
So let’s discuss the skills of the veteran quarterrier at this stage of her career and what it means on the fantastic front for the Pittsburgh offensive.
Based on the band I watched, the ARM talent always appears with Rodgers, as is rapid release and vision on the accelerated terrain. It can get the ball out and easily identify post-SNAP cover rotations. Yes, mobility and pocket balance have decreased, which limits its opportunities to create outside the structure at a higher pace, but in a race focused on the race, which will also use play elements to keep the firm pocket, Rodgers can work and produce in the Arthur Smith system.
With the arrival of Rodgers, the fantastic value of DK Metcalf obtains a slight boost from the place where it had been before the arrival of the QB. Metcalf has the stretching capacity of the terrain to execute the exterior verticals and deep ruptures, and it will be a rapid rapid gain target for rodgers on inclinations, subcontractors and screens. This puts Metcalf in the WR2 / Flex range before the fantastic season of 2025, while Pat Freiermuth remains a more intermediate TE2 with potential streaming which can be considered a large body option in the middle of the field.
Remember that Rodgers has an average of 15.1 ppg with Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams like the best targets last season in New York. And in an offense of the steelers that will use the racing game as a fundamental part, Rodgers best adapts as a QB2 which can be started in superflex formats 2QB or as a streaming option based on matches.
