0:32.4

they were last year? We'll talk about that right now on Fantasy Football today in five.

0:41.5

It's Adam and Dan here, and we're talking about players that are going into contract years and what they did last year can they do

0:45.7

better this year maybe worse we'll see what dan schneier thinks deck press got was qb3 last year

0:51.0

he averaged 23.5 fantasy points per game and six point for passing touchdown leagues. Better or worse? What do you think? Hard to beat that. I'm going to go worse just because that was such a high bar to set. I do think having another year McCarthy's offense will help him, but I don't think they added enough weapons around him for me to be confident that he's going to be better. Losing Tony Pollard should hurt a little bit as well. Offensive line takes a little bit of an upgrade, but also a downgrade losing Tyron Smith, their decade-long left tackle pass director. You know, he's been hurt a bunch, but still probably their best options. So I'm going to take the under. Yeah, I'm going to take the under on QB3, the 23, five points per game. He's actually been around 24 or, you know, around this range or better in four of the last five years. So it's just that that usually doesn't make a QB3. That's the thing. Like, you know, he just was a bad year for quarterback. So it's going to be a matter of do we get bounced back seasons from some quarterbacks? I think we will. I think that'll make Prescott more like QB7 or so. So I will take the under on that. The points per game, probably in the same range, because he's very consistent. I wish he had another weapon. I think he's got pretty bad weapons outside of C.D. Lam. It's crazy. But, you know, that was enough for him last year. Jordan Love, QB7 last year, about 22 points per game. Better or worse? QB7 for Love. Worse for me, unfortunately, even though I do like Love, I do love the weapons. Everything is there for him. They even add Josh Jacobs to the mix, take a little

2:17.5

pressure off, have defenses be forced to play a little further up in the box. But QB7 is just a

2:22.6

tough bar to pass, especially when we add into the mix, Anthony Richardson potentially being healthy

2:26.3

and the rushing floor that he brings, and Jane and Daniels in the mix here as well. So I'm going to

2:32.6

go under on QB7. All right.

2:35.4

QB and Jordan Love last year was actually QB three or four overall, but he was

2:39.6

about seventh per game per game. Yeah. Stefan Diggs.

2:43.4

Oof. So Stefan Diggs last year, a wide receiver 13 overall, I believe. And let me just check, make sure I'm not crazy here.

2:52.7

He was nine overall, and he was about 14th per game.

2:58.1

What do you think about that for Diggs?
