Factoid: Hayden Hurst

I participated in an Experts Draft last week. I left wondering if Hayden Hurst might be this year's version of Austin Hooper. Not just for Atlanta, but for fantasy leagues, as well. He was available much later than I expected — later than I think he should be.  more »

Factoid: Austin Hooper

Austin Hooper signed the big free agent deal with Cleveland, but I’m confident I won’t be selecting him in any leagues this year. I’m pretty sure I’ll be slotting him behind a number of tight ends who’ll be going later in drafts.  more »

Factoid: Ravens tight ends

Before starting my deep dive on the Ravens, my expectation was that it was probably best to stay away from this team’s passing game entirely. John Brown, I knew from when I was working on the Bills, caught only 10 of 33 passes for 128 yards in the eight games Lamar Jackson started. But things didn’t play out quite like I expected.  more »
