Every take from The Herd with Colin Cowherd (podcast)
1–25 of 887
And the floor is low end RB two and the ceiling is not hard to see again, go back to twenty twenty four Joe Mixon and if David Montgomery could be a low end RB one this year
our Fantasy Pros real time ADP shows GoF going QB sixteen, one hundred and twenty fifth overall in eleventh round EIGHTP... maybe there's an even better ceiling for Jared Goff than we typically associate with Jared Goff
I think Dave Montgomery is one of the best values on the board. I drafted him in flex this week
Gall that got all the touchdowns in Jane Daniels rookie season was a top fifteen wide receiver. I think he can go back to being that. Heck, he could be a wide receiver one this year.
If he catches any more passes in this Doyle offense this year could be a top five back
Montgomery's real time ADP at this very moment ... it's RB twenty forty six point seven overall... But the rushing floor is very sturdy.
Derek Henry's gonna be an RB one until he decides to hang up the cleats... But again, an RB twelve or higher every single year.
He's still gonna be probably a top seven guy... that's still a quality tight end one with top seven upside
I'm not worried about Woody Marks at all... I think this backfield will be owned by David Montgomery.
imagine that Derrick Henry getting back to anywhere near having double digit touchdowns. We're talking about a guy that absolutely smashes his RB twelve, uh RB eleven ADP his RB twelve ECR rank.
but he's still gonna be a top twelve tight end. He's still gonna be probably a top seven guy.
This is actually a player that I love this year in drafts. Not only safe floor, but I think the upside is could be the best of his career at this point... McLaurin, who's going anywhere near round five in drafts right now
Terry McLaurin, baby wide receiver, twenty four overall, right now, fifty fifth... we could see a career best season for McLaurin. So the safe floor is there, But also there's a ton of ceiling here too.
So Montgomery is going to be the Texans primary early down back... Montgomery is pretty much a mortal lock to be the Texans goal line back... As the clear number one back for a good team
I think there might come a time when we look at t I McMillan is like a first or second round value in fantasy drafts... the floor is pretty safe and the potential ceiling is pretty enticing.
but you've pointed out the division is not exactly a powerhouse. Yeah, they could easily win that division this year.
If it was a blank check for every NFL owner and every athletic director that knew what he was doing, McVeagh would be the number one choice... Sean McVay would be number one, Sean Payton would be way up there
I mean it's a real defensive front. It will be the best defensive front arguable in the league.
In my list was Alan Mahomes and I have Caleb higher than people do... Stafford, Herbert Burrow, Donald goff Love... I have Caleb at three... I'm like Lamar's eleven, decks twelve, Baker Mayfield probably thirteen, I'm getting down Brock pretty fourteen.
Here we go top ten. Number one... Josh Allen's the best quarterback in this sport... Lamar Jackson is eleven, dak is twelve.
Dallas Cowboys plus one hundred to make the playoffs? Why is that not minus money?... I just feel like that they're being a little bit undervalued at plus one hundred to make the playoffs.
I would do Eagles Chiefs. That's what I would do. A Super Bowl match above Eagles Chiefs.
But I like this opportunity on the Bengals at eleven to one because I agree with you
So my chad choice is going to be the New Orleans Saints to make the playoffs at plus two hundred. I like the situation with the South.
All right, Eagles Chiefs Super Bowl matchup
