I'll be honest, not sure I'm too high on drafting any Panther for fantasy this year outside of Brooks depending on your league format

I was VERY high on Theilen last year and my league laughed at me when I overspent to get him (we do an auction, pretty sure I was just getting bid up, but I wasn't losing him).  He was a perfect fit with Bryce without us having any legit outside WRs and I was right, he killed it in fantasy, even if he tapered off a bit towards the end of the year.

That league is also a 12 team PPR with 2 WRs and 2 flex spots that most team use 2 WRs in, so Thielen as a flex last year was a monster for me.

This year though, I think Johnson and Thielen kinda hurt each other's fantasy value.  They're going to be very similar in that they will both run great routes to get open, but likely getting a lot of shorter passes and crossing routes due to Bryce's lack of arm strength.  Only difference is that Thielen will line up in the slot while Johnson lines up outside, but they'll be used similarly besides that.

That combined with us likely trying to run the ball more given that being the strength of most of our OL, I don't really love either in fantasy this year as they'll cannibalize each other's potential on a run first team with a garbage QB.

Brooks on the other hand, if you are in a league with IR spots, could be a GREAT steal as he's likely to keep dropping in drafts as the season gets closer and people realize he really won't be playing for a little bit.

If you have IR spots, especially if you have 2 (which my league does), he's a great draft and stash guy, who also then immediately allows you to pick up a FA.  So if you can get him late in the draft, it's like getting a bonus draft pick as you then get to pick up an extra player to fill the roster spot when you put them in the IR post-draft.

I'd be surprised if I don't end up with him in my league this year because of that

Good luck on the YouTube channel man. Gave you a like and a subscribe!

It takes time to build it up but just keep cranking out the videos and learn along the way. One day you will see a number of views that will just completely blow your mind. It happens.

 

Thank you so much man, the words of encouragement genuinely mean a lot. I’m going into my final year of college and am challenging myself to give YouTube a real shot. Hopefully one day I can figure it out like you said!

That’s a great plan, not only is it a good pick but it’s fun to have a Panthers guy on the fantasy roster. Outside of Diontae and Brooks when he gets back, there’s not really anyone fantasy relevant.

Chuba until brooks comes back is worth a late round flyer

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
