#in 2021 and 22 it’s similar to rb in a way

[killa-trav]

I don't get the clement being faster than a f1 car thing...maybe I would understand better if I watched f2..seb and lance both dnf in monza right? Were the f2 cars going faster?They both did miracles in those two years...I'm so glad that lance has a good car this year and obviously its great that those behind the scenes get to see the fruits of their labour...but I'm also disappointed that seb and lance didn't get the car they deserve to show off their talents in the last two years.

basically in the f2 sprint last year clement novalak went faster than seb’s fastest time in quali, only by 1km/h (clem 335 seb 334) but still, an f2 car should be slower than an f1 car bc engines are less powerful, no power steering etc etc. the amr22 was incredibly draggy n they tried to eliminate that but they never really did which is why clem managed to go faster than it

F1 Livery Review time!!!!

quite late to make this but i wanted to wait until every car had been seen on track in some capacity to make this, rankings will be done out of 10 with 5 being considered average.

Red Bull 6/10

As is expected from red bull at this point (sighs), not much has really changed, same usual design with the navy blue base (i prefer the brighter blue the older red bulls used), however it gets a 6 because whilst its the same thing as last year, it does still look pretty alright.

Mercedes 8/10

I was quite surprised by the Mercedes this year, i was just expecting another all black Mercedes. I do quite like the design for this year, mixing very well the silver and black. usually im not a fan of Mercedes liveries, i thought the black was kind of honk mi mi mi and the full silver ones (looking at you 2022) just looked kind of off to me, but this is easily Mercedes best design yeast (bread typo!?!?)

Ferrari 9/10

ok Ferrari, just go ahead and reveal one of the nicest looking f1 cars in while why don't you. ok but like this thing is smexy tho, i dont really have mucch to say here, it looks great. imo im prolly being picky about this but the only thing that would make it a 10/10 ferrari for me would be a bit more white but that might just be me

McLaren 5/10

i have to be fully honest here, im disappointed. im really missing the blue, just the papaya and black is kind of boring, its why i didn't like the stealth mode livery from last year, and i mean its cool there's a bit of chrome, but its barely noticeable, im beginning to really miss the vibrant McLarens from 2019-2021

Aston martin 7/10

not much to say here, the green used this year is nicer, but the livery is held back by the carbon becoming a bit too noticeable for me, but its still quite nice

Alpine 2/10

this isn't a unique opinion but this livery is a waste, imo alpine has the nicest colours on the grid, the blue they use is amazing (the 2021 and 22 alpines being some of the nicest f1 cars ever made) but its just wasted on this livery, there's so much damn black

Williams 7/10

similar to the aston i dont really have much to say, it looks alright, its not amazing but it works

Racing Bulls 8/10

ok with a livery like this i almost forgive you for the awful name, this thing looks great, the orlen sponsorship works alot better on this then it did the alphatauri, and idk if its intended or not but this looks alot like the last toro rosso cars which is pretty cool

Sauber 7/10

this looks more monster themed than the team thats actually sponsored by them, similar to RB i almost forgive Sauber for the awful name, and unlike the other cars with alot of black the vibrant green works quite well and pairs well with black

Haas 4/10

its just kind of dull, the haas always looked good with alot of black but this is way too much, it looks unfinished tbh

OK ok ok but the perfect way for Dean to still be involved in the hunter life but not in a violent or dangerous way + simultaneously getting his apple pie life with cas and Jack would be to run a home for kids of dead hunters or just hunters who can't bring their kids around with them similar to the one he stayed in when he was a teenager. He's great with kids, it's unlearning the violence that's been so ever present for his entire life plus he gets the happy ending he's always wanted.

I remember seeing a bunch of epilepsy warnings going around when incredibles 2 came out and it had a warning at the start of the movie, but I haven't seen any for last night in soho

please, if you have epilepsy/experience seizures be very careful if you plan on going to see this film!!!

a woman in our theatre had a prolonged seizure due to a scene with a bunch of flashing lights partway through. I'd hate for that to happen to anyone else.

10 Fantasy Thoughts: Is Cooper Kupp your 2021 fantasy saviour?

What a week for individual performances.Derrick Henry and Aaron Jones followed up lacklustre Week 1 performances to win plenty of matchups. Aaron Rodgers did what Aaron Rodgers does with a monster bounce-back performance. Austin Ekeler was used heavily in the passing game with nine catches on nine targets. Just like we all thought. Well, some of us. Week 1 overreactions are almost always followed by a market correction, so maybe keep the hot takes to a low whisper instead of shouting them out to the world. It’s very unbecoming. But hey, if people want to make it known that they think Robert Woods is washed or that Saquon Barkley suddenly became a bad running back, then be sure to seek them out and offer to take those “terrible” players off their hands. Do them that service, take that weight off them on this journey, almost like their Fantasy Sherpa. And then crush them. (All weekly rankings courtesy of Fantasy Data) 1. Cooper Kupp’s revelation I will be the first to say that I thought that the biggest benefactor of Matthew Stafford heading to Los Angeles this off-season would be Robert Woods. Through the first two weeks of the year, it’s becoming apparent that I might be just a little bit off. Kupp has been nothing short of brilliant in the first two weeks, compiling back-to-back top-10 weeks, including the top spot in this week’s finish. He has 21 targets which places him in a tie for fifth among wide receivers, 16 catches (tied for first) and 271 yards (third) with Stafford under centre and occupies a ridiculous 37.5 per cent target share. It feels like every time the Rams get possession that Kupp is going to get an opportunity to score because he constantly looks like he’s wide open. Sean McVay is also unleashing Kupp out wide as opposed to the slot where he’s primarily been deployed from since his rookie year. That percentage of slot snaps has dropped from 73 per cent in his sophomore year in 2018 to 44 per cent through the first two games of 2021. Alpha wide receivers don’t play out of the slot and it seems as though the Rams have found their alpha receiver. Kupp is going to have an off game here and there and I expect Woods is going eat a bit more into Kupp’s target share, but make no mistake about it, Kupp is going to have a monster year. 2. Derek Carr, the unlikely addition to the QB1 group Steady. Decent floor. Capped ceiling. Great second quarterback. Those have been terms used to describe Derek Carr’s fantasy relevance since coming into the league, but we might be seeing him turn a corner and maybe, just maybe, he’s actually as good as we’ve seen in the first two weeks. It’s certainly early in the schedule, but it’s not like Carr has been up against cupcake defences to start. Baltimore’s D has playmakers and the Steelers basically shut down the Bills’ aerial attack in Week 1. He currently leads the league with 817 passing yards and has four touchdowns to one interception, while occupying the QB8 spot. With the Dolphins on the docket next, it looks like another matchup that Carr can exploit, especially considering that this Raiders offence looks like it has some pretty good pass catchers outside of Darren Waller. Henry Ruggs appears ready to take the next step forward after not living up to the rookie hype of being a high first-round pick last year. Hunter Renfrow is a reliable slot receiver and Bryan Edwards has all the tools to become a good receiver at this level. All this while the running game hasn’t been too great and Josh Jacobs is dealing with an injury. Carr is going to have to be on top of his game in the coming weeks as he gets the Chargers, Bears, Broncos and Eagles in the four games following Week 3's Dolphins game. By then, we should have an accurate assessment of where Derek Carr fits into the QB1 conversation. Something tells me that this is for real. 3. The Mike Williams we’ve been waiting for He’s had a 1,000-yard season and a 10-touchdown season, but both did not occur at the same time. We’ve been drawn in by his tantalizing talent and incredible ability go make absurd leaping catches, but we’ve never seen the consistency that warrants a regular spot in your lineup. Enter new Chargers offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, formerly of the New Orleans Saints, with Williams in a contract year and you've got a recipe for success. Lombardi talked up Williams in the off-season and is using him like he used Michael Thomas with the Saints. Justin Herbert even talked about his skill set and also wanting him to get the ball more. We’re now seeing the fruits of these discussions. Williams is currently the WR5 (tied with Amari Cooper) and has 22 targets in the first two games, parlaying those into 15 catches for 173 yards and two touchdowns. That’s the good stuff right there. I, for one, have been a big proponent of Williams ever since he was drafted out of Clemson and I’ve drafted him basically every year he has been in the league, so this one feels good. 4. Brandin Cooks = Automatic Cooks may be the most underappreciated fantasy player that we’ve seen in a long time. All he does is get the job done and his ADP almost never reflects his production at the end of the year. Last season, Cooks was the WR17 in 15 games with 81 catches for 1,150 yards and six touchdowns on only 119 targets. In five of seven seasons (including his rookie year where he only played 10 games), he has accumulated at least 65 catches, 1,082 yards and five touchdowns. It’s a pretty impressive resume that probably doesn’t get enough credit, especially in fantasy. The question now becomes, can Cooks still thrive with Davis Mills as the quarterback in Houston following the hamstring injury to Tyrod Taylor. What we know is that there isn’t a lot of competition for targets and that Houston is going to have to throw a lot in order to stay in games, so I will bet on Cooks getting plenty of looks and still manage to be in the WR2 or WR3 conversation going forward. 5. Teddy Bridgewater, the Wild (AFC) West’s newest gunslinger In a division that includes Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert and Derek Carr, Denver needed to being to have success through the air to stand a chance to stay alive in the AFC West arms race. Teddy Two Gloves was always perceived to be a dink and dunk type quarterback as evidenced by his Air Yards Per Target last season which had him near the bottom of the league for starting quarterbacks. Something has changed. It could be the poor competition faced so far as the Broncos took on the Giants and Jaguars, or it could be that Bridgewater has finally been unleashed. Through the first two weeks, he sits fourth in Intended Air Yards behind Trevor Lawrence, Derek Carr and Tom Brady and fifth in Completed Air Yards behind Brady, Carr, Daniel Jones and Justin Herbert. What we can deduce is that Teddy is slinging it early on. The Broncos offence has been very good through the first two games and gets a peach matchup against the awful Jets in Week 3. Teddy Bridgewater has become quite the fantasy asset in Denver with a plethora of weapons at his disposal and if they continue to let him sling it, we could really see him stay in the conversation as an every week starter and a back-end QB1 by the time the season is done. 6. The Cowboys RB timeshare…really? One of the Cowboys running backs is RB12 and the other one is RB26. My guess is that you’ve figured out that Pollard is the RB12 and Elliott is the RB26. Yes, the above statement is accurate. “It has to be because Pollard is making the most of limited opportunities though, right?” Incorrect! Pollard has 23 touches compared to Elliott’s 31, so yes, Pollard is making the most of his opportunities (7.7 yards per carry and seven catches on seven targets), but the workload is a lot closer than it has been in years past. Elliott just doesn’t look like nearly the same player that we saw two years ago and looks more like the player that we saw last year. So maybe this is just what he is at this point in his career. On the other hand, Pollard looks great seemingly every time he touches the ball. You’re going to start Elliott every week, but now you’re going to have to start Pollard every week until we are given a reason not to. The thought process is that the workload going forward is going to look very similar to what it is now, but there’s also a chance that if Zeke doesn’t perform that we could see Pollard get even more looks as the season progresses. 7. The Patriots backs are relevant again The best thing that happened to the Patriots running backs was to get rid of Cam Newton as the team’s signal caller and bring in a less athletic, more accurate passer in Mac Jones. That much has been evident over the first two weeks of the season. Damien Harris has taken over as the lead dog in that backfield and established that he’s going to be the guy to get the bulk of the carries. We’ve also established that James White is back after a tumultuous season last year where he dealt with great personal loss and injury. There is a very good chance with Jones at the helm that both Harris and White finish as top-30 running backs. Harris because of his workload and usage in the red zone looks like a virtual lock. For White, it comes down to how much usage he’s going to get in the passing game. With 13 targets (18 per cent target share) through two games, he’s on pace for 110 targets and if that holds up, he should be a great return on value, especially considering he was way down everyone’s draft board before the season started. The Patriots look like they’re back to being the Patriots we had seen for so many years prior, except for, you know, that Brady character. 8. Is the Vikings duo of receivers now a trio? It’s early in the season, we are all aware of that, but some times, some things happen that make you raise an eyebrow. There was obvious hype surrounding Justin Jefferson after his incredible rookie season and even though plenty of people were down on Adam Thielen, he certainly didn’t become a bad receiver overnight. But nobody expected what we’ve seen out of the third member of what might now be a trio of good receivers. KJ Osborn has been a revelation early on in the season for Minnesota, currently sitting at WR19 with 12 catches, 167 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets (18.5 per cent target share) and has been a great complement to the two great receivers ahead of him. The likelihood of this production is due to the injury of Irv Smith Jr., the lack of talent at the tight end position and Thielen and Jefferson drawing top coverages. Jefferson and Thielen are going to get theirs, but Osborn is worth an add in deeper leagues, especially because we have to think that the Vikings are going to be throwing the ball a lot this season. If Jefferson and Thielen go down with injury, Osborn is an easy WR3 play but could even pay dividends as a high-risk, high-reward flex play with those two in the lineup. 9. Patience is a virtue with Hollywood Brown There’s a very good chance that we overlooked Brown’s finish to last season where he was the WR13 from Week 12-17. Yes, he did have five touchdowns in that span and yes we know that is a fluke stat, but you know what, he’s been a touchdown machine since Week 5 of last year. In that stretch of 14 games he has 10 touchdowns, so he could just be on a hot stretch, but it’s worth noting. Through two games this year, Brown is the WR8 with 182 receiving yards, two touchdowns on 16 targets and looks like he’s becoming a lock for your lineups every week. We know that some receivers take some time to adjust to the NFL game and Brown is probably that guy. It also helps that he’s becoming a focal point of the passing game (28 per cent target share) while rookie Rashod Bateman is on the sidelines and Mark Andrews has scuffled a bit out of the gate (eight catches for 77 yards) because this Ravens team is still going to need to have some success in the passing game to make a run in the AFC. Hollywood has arrived. 10. The Weekly “Mike Tolbert Vulture Awards” Ricky Seals-Jones This is one of those rare occasions where a player vultures a touchdown and it was on a great play. Seals-Jones made the most of his lone catch, going for 19 yards and a touchdown but making a great grab in the corner of the end zone on a pass from Taylor Heinicke. I’m sure Logan Thomas managers were thrilled by this. Andy Janovich The Browns fullback not only vultured a rushing touchdown from both Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, but he also outscored Clyde Edwards-Helaire, James Conner, Nyheim Hines and was decimal points behind Jonathan Taylor, Alvin Kamara and Miles Sanders. Janovich’s two carries resulted in zero yards and a touchdown. Can’t make this stuff up. Jauan Jennings Jennings is outscoring Brandon Aiyuk in fantasy scoring just like you all predicted. He had two catches for 17 yards and a score in the Niners win over the Eagles and followed up the San Francisco train of touchdown vultures after they doubled up on the award last week thanks to Trey Lance and Trent Sherfield. Darrell Williams This one was easily my favourite vulture line of the week. Williams was a pre-season sleeper to take away work from Clyde Edwards-Helaire (and even outscored him this week), but you’re not going to get very far with his line of three carries for -2 yards and a touchdown. He averaged 0.7 yards per carry and still outscored the RB1 on his team. I love fantasy football. Read the full article

Chelsea Football Club - The unlucky Chelsea star who will benefit the most from the latest changes in the Premier League

Timo Werner scored only six Premier League football objectives during a blended first season at Chelsea football club. It was after Chelsea had defeated Leicester City in May that Timo Werner gave what he felt was the most legit of appraisals of his first mission at Stamford Bridge.

"Up to this point I was in every case close, then, at that point toward the end not close, he disclosed to Sky Sports after having two objectives precluded, effectively, by VAR against the Foxes. It could be the unluckiest season I have had, and will have."

The German had a point. He got multiple times across all contests for Chelsea football club during the 2020/21 mission, an unassuming return given what was generally anticipated when he joined the Blues in an arrangement worth £49.5million from RB Leipzig. Be that as it may, Werner had the ball toward the rear of the net on 27 events.

Those of you perusing will have done the maths. For those that haven't, that is 15 objectives that Werner had precluded throughout the season by a blend of the match authorities and VAR. Most of the objectives Werner had chalked off were because of offside. A large number of these were the aftereffect of helpless development concerning the 25-year-old. He either went too soon with his run may be because of an absence of certainty or he didn't get back from an offside position sufficiently fast.

Yet, there were a small bunch of events that Werner tracked down the rear of the net, just for VAR to preclude the objective for the best of edges the most vital example without a doubt against Liverpool at Anfield. More are anticipated from Werner in the season ahead. Thomas Tuchel has effectively affirmed so a lot. At the point when he has some an ideal opportunity to reflect, rest, some time on vacation for mental rest, I'm certain he can make the following strides one year from now," the Chelsea lead trainer said in May.

He isn't knowing any longer, he will know the climate, what he is returning to, his partners, what he is facing on the main game, and how to adjust. This will help him. Werner scored only six Premier League football objectives last term. Twofold figures will be the base expected this time around. Furthermore, he will be supported that quest for a choice taken by the Professional Game Match Officials Board.

From the impending season onwards, Premier League football official boss Mike Riley has affirmed the feared lines used to work out minor offside choices will be thicker to give the benefit back to the assaulting side. On a very basic level, we need the way to deal with be one that permits players to go out and articulate their thoughts and let the game stream, Riley clarified. For more details about Chelsea VS Everton Tickets.

It implies the VAR groups won't mediate for paltry offenses and the limit for official and VAR intercession will be marginally higher than it was last season. We've presented the opportunity to be vindicated for the assaulting player so where we have a truly close offside circumstance, we will follow a similar interaction as last year yet presently apply thicker transmission lines.

"Viably what we have done is offered back 20 objectives to the game that were considered offside last season by utilizing very measurable investigation. Thus, it's the toenails, the noses of players that were offside they will not be offside at this point."

There's no question that Werner will profit with that in the season ahead. Also, the Chelsea star knows it as well. I read that they need to make the VAR line thicker in England, that would be useful for me since then I would have five additional objectives this season, he expressed last month. That is the expectation for the 2021/22 mission, one in which Werner should demonstrate his helpless structure before objective last term was a unique case.

2021 Fantasy RB Sleepers

With the lack of reliable tight ends in fantasy football, each year will see at least a few breakouts rise from the lower depths of the rankings to claim a top-12 fantasy finish. Last season, Robert Tonyan finished as the TE3 in standard and PPR formats. (Don’t pretend like you knew who Tonyan was coming into the season.) Remember Jared Cook charting a career year (TE5) in ‘18 at 31? If you need more evidence, we can go back further. See none other than Delanie Walker, then a long-time 49ers backup. In 2013, He signed a four-year deal with Tennessee for an average salary of 4.4 million dollars -- chump change for an NFL player. And what did he do with that opportunity? He became a reliable upper-tier fantasy starter for the next five seasons, finishing as high as TE2 in PPR formats. All of these players were barely on the sleeper radar, never mind highlighted on draft cheat sheets. So, now that it’s been established sleeper tight ends emerge every season, it’s important to figure out how to identify them. Sometimes, TEs set to see an expanded role in an offense, perhaps because another TE or key WR left or because a new offensive coordinator is in town, are prime sleeper targets. You could also look at TEs who got a QB upgrade in the offseason. New opportunities can yield new results -- even for old players.This year's list features Irv Smith Jr., Anthony Firkser, and Adam Trautman, all of whom figure to step into a more significant roles in their respective offenses. Blake Jarwin and O.J. Howard, who are more or less afterthoughts due to major injuries sustained last season, also merit watching as they try to bounce back. Someone like Cole Kmet isn't necessarily in a "new situation," but we still expect him to take a big leap forward in his sophomore season and overtake Jimmy Graham as Chicago's primary TE.If you're in a shallow league, most of these guys won't even be on your radar. It's more likely someone like Dallas Goedert, Tyler Higbee, or Jonnu Smith/Hunter Henry would be considered "sleepers," but for most leagues, the tight ends below are the players to target in the middle and late rounds. That's where these types of TEs will be patiently waiting to be claimed.That’s the beauty of the position -- many of these sleepers are still cheap! If they don’t plan out, your season isn’t lost. Even if you take a "good" starter earlier, it's still smart to take a flier on the sleeper tight end late. Remember, there are only a handful of players at the position who can be trusted every week, so giving yourself options makes sense. Javonte Williams, Broncos Williams will be competing with veteran Melvin Gordon for touches, but even if the talented rookie isn't starting in Week 1, he has more long-term potential because of his explosiveness. In his final season at North Carolina, Williams totaled 1,445 yards and 22 TDs while averaging 7.9 yards per touch. The Broncos offense has a lot of talent but also a lot of question marks. Williams can be a stabilizing force if the coaching staff lets him. It would be foolish to completely write off the 28-year-old Gordon, who posted 1,144 total yards, 4.6 yards/carry, and 10 TDs last year, but Denver drafted Williams early in the second round for a reason. Gus Edwards, Ravens Everyone is excited about JK Dobbins this year -- and deservedly so -- but don't sleep on Edwards. He's posted at least 700 yards and averaged at least 5.0 yards/carry in each of his three seasons, so you know he's going to produce on the ground. With Mark Ingram gone, his path to production is even more open. He might not crack double-digit receptions, but it wouldn't be a complete shock if Edwards wound up getting more touches than Dobbins and starred in the Ravens backfield. Either way, he's being undervalued in drafts. Consider Edwards more of a 1B to Dobbins' 1A than merely a traditional handcuff. Michael Carter, Jets Kmet is poised to take over the keys from Jimmy Graham at TE1 in the Bears offense. While Kmet didn't see a ton of volume last year (44 targets), he ranked fourth at the position in true catch rate at 94 percent. True catch rate is the total number of receptions divided by total number of catchable targets. With Andy Dalton or Justin Fields on the field, passing volume and catchable targets are likely to point upward. Chicago traded Anthony Miller to Houston, opening up more potential targets for Kmet. If Fields is as good as the Bears think he can be, Kmet may serve as a reliable target in an emerging offense. Phillip Lindsay, Texans David Johnson had a surprise bounce-back season last year, posting 1,005 total yards and eight TDs while averaging a career-high 4.7 yards/carry in 12 games. Even so, the Texans picked up Lindsay in the offseason, and fantasy owners shouldn't ignore him. Lindsay started his career with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons before struggling in an injury-plagued 2020. Lindsay still has a career 4.8 yards/carry average, and despite his size (5-8 ,190 pounds), he's a tough inside runner. Johnson might begin the season as Houston's starter, but given his injury history and age (29), Lindsay could wind up outproducing him for the season. Don't let Lindsay fall too far behind Johnson in drafts. Jamaal Williams, Lions Williams was consistently solid in his four years with the Packers, but he rarely starred outside of the occasional good game. Now with Detroit, he'll once again work in a complementary role (behind D'Andre Swift), but the Lions have a strong offensive line and very little going for them in the receiving game. That should open up more opportunities for Williams, both as a runner and a pass-catcher. It will likely take a Swift injury for Williams to really go off, but he's capable of outproducing his ADP and being an every-week flex, at least in PPR formats. AJ Dillon, Packers When a guy is 6-0, 247 pounds and has both "Quadfather" and "Quadzilla" listed on hisPFR pageas nicknames, you want to give him your full attention. Dillon didn't playmuch as a third-string rookie last year, but he did average 5.3 yards/carry in limited action and went off in the one games where he did get significant touches, posting a 21-124-2 line in a Week 16 game against Tennessee. With Jamaal Williams gone, Dillon takes over the primary backup role to Aaron Jones, so he's primed for 120-plus carries. At last year's rate, that would yield around 700 rushing yards and a five-to-six TDs. The potential is there for more with the supremely talented Dillon even in a backup role,and if anything happens to Jones, look out. Dillon would immediately vie for top-10 consideration. Tony Pollard, Cowboys Pollard has played well in his first two seasons, averaging 4.8 yards/carry and showcasing solid receiving skills. When Ezekiel Elliott out in Week 15, Pollard took advantage, running 12 times for 69 yards and two scores against the 49ers. With Elliott coming off a down year, it's fair to wonder if Pollard will see more touches, and in Dallas's high-powered offense, even 10 touches per game would give him flex value. If Elliott gets hurt, Pollard's value would really take off. If you draft Elliott, be prepared to overpay for Pollard because he's the type of backup other owners will draft in the middle rounds, too. Trey Sermon, 49ers Sermon had a decent college career split between Oklahoma and Ohio State, but he saved his best performances for the Big 10 Championship and Sugar Bowl last year, rushing for a combined 524 yards and three TDs while adding another 65 receiving yards on seven catches. The 6-1, 215-pound Sermon ran a 4.57 40-yard dash and doesn't wow with any other measurables, but you know if he gets consistent touches in the 49ers system, he'll be productive. Raheem Mostertwon't stay healthy, and even if he does, we know San Francisco will use multiple ball carriers. Wayne Gallman will probably more involved than any of us want, but Sermon still has major breakout potential. Justin Jackson, Chargers Jackson is just as likely to get cut as he is have a good year, so proceed with caution here. That said, the Chargers need a true "lead back" to complement receiving ace Austin Ekeler, and last year's popular rookie sleeper, Joshua Kelley, repeatedly flopped in his attempts to take over the lead role when Ekeler was hurt (3.2 yards/carry). Perhaps Kelley will bounce back and get first crack at the 1B job, but Jackson outplayed him last year (when he wasn't missing seven games because of toe, quad, and knee injuries). Jackson averaged 4.6 yards/carry (4.9 for his career) and caught 19 passes for 173 yards in a similar campaign as his rookie season. It's tough get too excited about Jackson, but someone figures to emerge in this backfield. If it's not Jackson or Kelley, then you're looking at sixth-round rookie Larry Rountree III, who produced well in his career at Mizzou (5.0 yard/carry, 40 TDs). For now, we'll err on the side of the veteran. Rhamondre Stevenson, Patriots The 6-0, 231-pound Stevenson might very well be on the inactive list early in the season (he is a Patriots RB after all), but he has upside if he finds his way into the lineup. The Patriots are notorious for shenanigans with their RBs, and even though Damien Harris looks to be "the guy" in New England, no one would be shocked Stevenson started stealing carries or being used as a goal-line hammer. Sevenson averaged 7.2 yards/carry and scored 13 TDs in 19 career games at Oklahoma, and he even showed some receiving chops with 18 catches and 211 yards in just six games last year. He presents the kind of unique skillset Bill Belichick loves to use, so fantasy owners should have him high on their watchlists. Jake Funk/Xavier Williams, Rams Does anyone really trust Darrell Henderson to last the full season as the Rams' feature back? Maybe he will -- or maybe L.A. will sign a veteran like Le'Veon Bell or Todd Gurley -- but until they pick up someone else, undrafted Jones and seventh-round pick Funk are the most likely candidates to siphon carries. At 5-10, 204 pounds with 4.49 speed, Funk has similar size but more speed than Jones (5-11, 208 pounds, 4.54), but Jones was far more productive in career at SMU than Funk was at Maryland. Neither of these backs really stand out, but they figure to get shots at playing time early in the year. Caleb Huntley/Javian Hawkins, Falcons Mike Davis and Cordarrelle Patterson are currently atop Atlanta's RB depth chart. Anyone trust them to last in those spots all year? After them, you have Qadree Allison, who's had some sleeper buzz of his own at times but totaled just one carry in three games last year. With all that said, we're going off the board for some sleeper picks here and highlighting rookie free agents Huntley and Hawkins. The former is a 5-10, 229-pound bruiser who scored 18 TDs in 15 games his final two seasons at Ball State. Huntley is a 5-9, 196-pound speedster 2,347 rushing yards, 20 catches, 185 receiving yards, and 17 total TDs in two seasons at Louisville. They could form a solid thunder-and-lightning duo if given the chance, but as it stands, Hawkins is a little more interesting due to his versatility and speed. Read the full article

Diontae Johnson’s 2021 Fantasy Football Outlook

Over the last couple of months, fellow Steelers Depot contributor Wesley Cantliffe and myself have been discussing the fantasy value of several players heading into the 2021 season, more specifically the Pittsburgh Steelers options to choose from in fantasy football drafts. One player that has been a hot topic of this conversations is Diontae Johnson, who is heading into his third season with Pittsburgh. Cantliffe has done a lot of work breaking down the receiving options for the Steelers in his film rooms, and wrote a stellar piece back in June highlighting whether or not Johnson is poised to take his game to the next level in 2021, which I would encourage you to go check out after reading this. First, to start off our analysis of Johnson’s 2021 prospects, let’s look at how he fared this past season in 2020. Diontae Johnson 2020 Stats: 144 targets, 88 receptions (61.1 catch %) for 923 yards (10.5 YPR) and seven TDs in 13 games started/15 played One thing that is often brought up with Johnson is the sheer volume he sees from a target perspective in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive system. He plays the coveted Antonio Brown/Santonio Holmes role as the primary X-receiver in most formations, having the route running ability to create separation when facing both man and zone coverages. Because of this, along with the fact that QB Ben Roethlisberger’s M.O. the last few seasons is to get the ball out quick, Johnson ends up being the first read on a lot of pass plays, seeing all the targets he can handle. However, another thing that is often associated with Diontae Johnson is the drops. Johnson led the league last season with 14 drops on the year. However, fellow Steelers Depot contributor Matthew Marczi posted an article a couple of weeks ago highlighting the breakdown by Matt Harmon at Reception Perception, stating that while the number of drops by Johnson isn’t ideal, his drop percentage when compared to the volume he receives stacks up pretty evenly with the likes of A.J. Brown, D.K. Metcalf, and D.J. Moore in terms of number of drops based on the number of targets they receive. Harmon stats that Johnson is just as promising as a developmental number one receiver as Brown and Metcalf from the same draft class, considering both are often floated around as top 10 receivers in the NFL. In fact, Johnson leads the entire 2019 WR draft class in total catches in his first two seasons with 147, while missing several games due to injury. Another key stat to consider from this study conducted by Harmon is Johnson’s success rate at getting open against all types of coverage. As charted by Reception Perception, Johnson had a 77.7% success rate against man coverage (95th percentile), 87.8% against zone (96th percentile), and 76.9% against press coverage (86th percentile) in 2020. Thus, Johnson is the perfect option for what Ben and the Steelers offense has been looking to do the past couple of seasons, and will likely see more of the same heading into 2021 while implementing new OC Matt Canada’s offensive system. Now I wasn’t initially a fan of the Diontae Johnson pick back in 2019. I actually had him mocked to Pittsburgh in my final mock draft, but that was later on Day 3 rather than in the third round. Drops and bobbled catches were in his college tape as well, along with the tendency to slip at the top of his routes and also the thin, frail frame making him susceptible to injury in the league, of which he has missed games and left games early due to various injuries suffered. However, I do have to be willing to not give in to “take lock” and analyze the situation from an open mind free of bias. When you look at the season Johnson had in 2020, you can see he was a solid, steady contributor comparable to Allen Robinson, Terry McLaurin, and Robert Woods after returning from the Week 6 game his missed against Cleveland due to injury. If you were to factor out the games missed or left early due to injury last season for Johnson, he would have been on pace for right about 1,230 receiving yards on 115 receptions in a full 16 games. This includes the game in which Johnson was benched early due to the drop issues he suffered at Buffalo. Now if we revert Johnson’s drops to six over the course of the season which more mirror what he did in his rookie season and during the course of his college career at Toledo, we would add another eight receptions at 10.5 YPR to total out to 1,314 receiving yards on 123 receptions 2020. Now, extrapolate that to a 17-game schedule that we will see in 2021, and that comes out to 130 receptions for 1,396 receiving yards and roughly nine TDs. This would put Johnson almost in line with the production of Atlanta Falcons WR Calvin Ridley, who you can look to as a similar style of player and athlete, obviously averaging less YPR but similar total yardage, targets and TD upside as the first option in their respective teams’ passing attacks. In fact, FantasyPros analyst Mike Tagliere stated in his study on Johnson that he could be the next third-year WR breakout that we have seen, first out of Ridley in 2020 and Chris Godwin in 2019, as players set to smash expectations at their current average draft positions. Now this isn’t a ringing endorsement to say that Johnson is a better athlete than either Godwin or Ridley, as I personally would prefer to have either option on Pittsburgh’s roster over Johnson. However, this recognizes that Johnson, who ranked sixth in the NFL last season amongst wide receivers with 144 targets, is seeing the volume in the Steelers offense. As we know from a fantasy football perspective, volume (whether it be carries or targets) is king and is something we like to chase as it often leads to opportunity. Obviously, Johnson needs to stay on the field for that volume to be realized, but again, Ridley did miss three games the year prior to his breakout season while leaving portions of other games early due to injury, and who can forget the injury-plagued season Michael Thomas had for the Saints this past season as the likely first receiver taken in most fantasy football drafts in 2021? This is to say that injury can happen to nearly any player in the game of football, and Johnson’s injury history compared to that of other players should deter you away from him in drafts. We should expect the overall drop numbers to revert back to the mean as suggested above, meaning Johnson will likely have a better conversion rate on the targets that do come his way. Also, Tagliere pointed out in his study on Johnson that he only averaged 6.4 yards per target last season (10.5 YPR). Should his average depth of target improve, we could see Johnson’s efficiency improve with the high target volume, presenting a steady floor in fantasy with the room for top-12 numbers at the position. Sure, the overall target numbers could decrease in 2021 with more of a focus on the run game and less total passes, but Pittsburgh has been near the top of the league in pass attempts the last several seasons with a healthy Ben Roethlisberger, meaning Johnson will still see plenty of opportunity going forward. I have decided to not let my previous bias against Johnson deter me from the fact that he is a clear value in fantasy football this year. Currently, Johnson has an ADP of 55 overall in full-PPR leagues and is currently going as the WR #22 in the ESPN rankings. With the expected volume and upside Johnson has, I see this as a clear buy in likely the fifth round of 12-man league fantasy drafts, where you can either go RB-heavy to start the draft and still select Johnson as your WR2 who has the volume to be a stabilizing presence on your roster, with the potential to produce as a WR1 should he stay heathy and improve his poor efficiency from last season. This is my endorsement to have Johnson as a target heading into your fantasy drafts next season who could have a bigger season than most will expect. What are your thoughts on Diontae Johnson heading into 2021? Do you think he is in line for a jump in play heading into year three, or is simply who he is at this point? What do you think he can do stat-wise this upcoming season in a full season if he improves his efficiency? Leave your thoughts in the comments section below and thanks again for reading!
