Caleb Williams, Bo Nix among rookie preseason standouts | Fantasy Football Happy Hour | NFL on NBC

couple quick mentions here Matthew and you can jump in on any of these if you want Trey Benson plays on the early Downs no third down or two-minute snaps khil Shakir only played in three wide receiver sets uh we saw m Holland in two wide receiver sets Jan doson continues to play more in the slot Jaylen Naylor appears locked in as Minnesota's wide receiver three Raheem moer played the opening snaps and brillan Allen looks cemented as the Jets number two running back behind Bree Hall I think Curtis Samuels being underd drafted just going off to the k sherker thing and by the way Keenan Coleman hasn't done much but he's playing like every down with the with the starters so I just think that's sort of interesting brillan Allen if you're going zero RB Denny Carter wrote a great article for RW world.com about some zero RB targets and brillan Allen was one of the guys in there agree with that he's looked really good as a jet locked in as the backup to uh Breeze Hall and will have a role but Raheem moard guys this is somebody who scored 18 touchdowns last year and just everyone's just sort of ah they're done and I just I think he's just being drafted way too low we love Devon aan he's still the wide running back I have ranked higher he doesn't need a full workload to be explosive but I just I think it seems insane to say that we're sleeping on a guy that was like a top two fantasy running back last year who scored 18 touchdowns but I think we're sleeping on a guy who scored 18 touchdowns last year and was a top two fantasy running back y I think obviously there's an infatuation with Deon H and which makes sense given how explosive that he was but again like we saw that aan he broke down I don't he's not going to have a Workhorse load and most that is presumably going to be the goal line guy um so I agree there the other thing too is like Jaylen Naylor but like there is a chance that if Addison misses time I mean the injury seems minor but if he does deal with the suspension that Jaylen Naylor is a the number two pass catcher in offense that is going to see Justin Jefferson double team constantly so again just the low sler I have no interest in Johan doson and that's coming from me I don't know if the commanders do to be honest with you he's had a rough camp like they're trying to figure him out in the slot they're trying to I just that is going south very quickly very OD they don't have enough depth to get rid of but like it is for whatever reason like he's just he's had a bad Camp he's not playing with confidence I I just a bad this is a better this weekend was better for him than it has been in a while but I again this is freaking Homer Barry coming over and saying that hurts I don't want Johan dson I don't want Johan Dodson this year all right the notable rookie performances let's start with the quarterbacks here Caleb Williams goes six for 13 for 75 yards and a rushing touchdown Jaden Daniels 10 for 12 for 78 yards 13 rushing yards he's looked really good through two games B Knicks 8 for9 80 yards a touchdown 12 rushing yards as we look at the wide receivers Xavier worthy 3 for 62 and a touchdown Malik neighbors four catches for 54 yards Roma dun one big catch for 45 yards Jordan Whittington have the Rams done it again five catches for 52 yards so I I want to come back to Whittington in a second here Connor but um uh Williams you know uh everyone's looking at that one clip you know where he he he rolls out and like you know across his cross he like he roll I'm going to do a bad version of this but like he just basically runs this and then right oh exactly and then he just throws us this bomb to a Dun like a perfect dime you know you're like oh yeah that's why he was the number one overall pick and and the consensus but uh so both him and um him and Jane Daniels look great but I think the the interesting ones from those rookie performances and God we love middle leag neighbors I don't care who's throwing the ball him the him the ball but uh I continue to love Jaden Daniels uh but I thought Bo Knicks again like we talked about this coming out of college and when he got drafted just what a perfect fit he is for the kind of offense Shawn pyton wants to run Conor if he was going to get drafted top 15 overall it was going to be by Shawn pton that's what everybody said because he's a perfect fit he understands how to get the ball out he can run play action he can do so many different and he can run a little bit too you saw at the 12 rushing yards he's athletic enough they don't have to have him drop back and run around for hours and throw the ball 60 yards down the field he could play Rhythm he can play in timing this is his job like if there was any question about that I mean Jarett did him pton likes him as a backup Zack Wilson did not look good at the end of that game I mean bonick is going to be a starter this year and he might be a quietly not great fantasy starter but that's like you need a desperate streamer you're going to be talking about B Knicks you're looking at you're you're playing best ball you're playing uh you're playing two quarterback or super Flex in courand Sutton with confidence a th% also Tim Patrick like we forget about Tim Patrick because he's had this brutal injury each of the last two years but he can play Tim Tim Patrick can play and so that that's a guy who like literally no one is drafting and you know Tim Patrick had a nice game here as well um uh but I want to come back to Jordan Whittingham and so there's a fifth round guy Conor but feels like the Rams have once again like last year puka n was a fifth round guy and I don't want to call him this year's pukaa but like the drum beat out of rams Camp about Jordan Whittingham awesome has been awesome what what what for people who don't know Whittingham well he played at Texas so he's buried by a lot of great skill talents over the years right Xavier worthy who we spent the whole open of the show on I mean this is really he was the number three or four guy at Texas at times but not that fast good possession player the reason sha McVey loves him great blocker that's what they do they draft guys that block on the perimeter and catch the football you don't have to run a 4-3 you don't have to be 6' five so he is the classic smart tough McVey player that you know listen is it going to be puka or Cooper cup no but did he draft him in that mold of I could trust you with the route tree I could trust you to block and if we throw the ball your way beating zone I'm scheming up against Zone you're going to catch the football so he's going to hang on this roster yep K and Caleb Williams who had the amazing 45 yard pass to romad Dun that Matthew so beautifully reenacted but outside of that like didn't look great for the Bears offense they was 5 for 12 for 30 yards they couldn't do anything against the Texans backup so I think look I think Kay will is going to be fine not too worried about one half of a preseason game but like anointing him as like oh he's just going to be my homes this year like let's say it inter defin I look I have Jaden Daniels ranked ahead of Caleb WS by quite a few spots like I mean and in Dynasty I think kayin is gonna be is going to be special and uh but I I feel very confident in um in Jaden Daniel that ranking fantasy-wise of Jaden Daniels over Caleb Williams despite what I'm sure everyone's going to be calling me a homer the other thing about adun adun looked really good you know he just caught the one pass for 45 yards but I I'm I'm still concerned about ad dun's production as long as DJ Mo and Keen are healthy right but I'm also worried that adun is going to play enough that he's going to eat in to Keenan out a little bit doesn't help anyone it feels like a little bit wide receiver by committee and they're also going to go two tight ends quite a bit Everett and uh and Cole KT eating into each other I want I actually want no part of uh that passing game I don't mind DJ Moore or Keenan Allen in redraft and adun is you know obviously great in Dynasty but it's it feels like it's going to be a better NFL offense than consistent fantasy offense okay you have a chance to win $1 million in the NBC sweep Stakes on Yahoo fantasy just download the redesign Yahoo fantasy app or go to nbcsports.com fantasy million for
