And welcome to the Fantasy Hotline presented by Toyota, the official automotive partner of the NFL.
Every Thursday, we are taking your most pressing questions for Fantasy Hotline, and today we are covering which training camp hype players to buy or sell.
Hayden, we had the people out there send in great questions, great questions, and some very interesting, a wide range of names here.
This is from FF Jury: "Obviously Cyrus Allen, you know, someone you could talk about, but IMO you've talked about him enough on RP."
Yeah, correct.
I, I feel like I do talk about I'm, I am talking about Cyrus Allen too much.
Just kidding.
There's no such thing.
"Did you hear in Bert Breer's article, the Chiefs think he's the next Stefon Diggs?"
That's right.
They don't need to sign Stefon Diggs.
They've got Steph Diggs at home, baby.
Okay, we talked about Cyrus Allen.
That's right.
So the other three names mentioned here, Casey Concepcion, D.J.
Moore, Bucky Irving.
I actually wanna talk about D.J.
Moore with you a little bit because I saw you posted about Moore earlier this week, and literally we were sharing a brain on, on kind of just some of your thought process with D.J.
Moore.
So, unpack that one a little bit.
Like, where are you at D.J.
Moore relative to some of the other receivers around his ADP?
Yeah, so I think we have to separate the discussions here.
I thought that the Bills trading the capital for him and then extending him was doing too much for what I think D.J.
Moore is.
But at the same time, I would not be surprised if D.J.
Moore tries harder, cares more now that he's, like, in a Super Bowl contending team where he's definitely the top option, just based off of the investments where you could not argue that once they had Rome Odunze, Luther Burden, and, Colston Loveland.
So I'm expecting him to just play better this year than, than the year prior.
And I think that the target competition's pretty weak considering the Bills are second in projected points.
And all the other teams around them, that's the Rams, the Lions, the Bengals, the Ravens, both of the, Cowboys wide receivers.
You have to draft their number one wide receivers in the first or the second round only, and D.J.
Moore is now priced way, way, way lower than that.
I have him in the same tier as the Mike Evans, Davante Adams types, and r- I would just take the younger guy if I'm, if I am hunting in that tier.
Yeah.
So I moved him up just because he doesn't have to be that great to be very relevant.
I mean, we were drafting Gabe Davis in what round?
I think that was about in this area.
I think that D.J.
Moore- Low yeah for his wallet- Higher than this was better.
Yes.
Like, I mean, we can ha- we can have D.J.
Moore do a Gabe Davis plus season this year.
I think that's totally possible.
That is totally possible.
And I'll just put a bow on it here.
That was really exactly, again, my thoughts on, on Moore relative to some of those other wide outs.
But that is gonna do it for, our first Fantasy Hotline here.
Got a lineup dilemma, trade debate, or league controversy?
The Fantasy Hotline is open all season long, so send us your toughest questions.
We might just feature them on an upcoming episode.
