TBayXXXVII 2,289 Posted August 31, 2020 I think both finish outside the top 10. Just a hunch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How will you determine how much tp they have--Costco receipts? Assuming you're talking about fantasy points, however, you're not suggesting anything revolutionary. Kyler Murray already scored the 7th-most fantasy points among QBs last season, so moving up two slots wouldn't be a superhuman feat--and Daniel Jones was already the 5th-best fantasy QB from Week 8 onward last season, so he just has to not get worse (and remember, Jones played exactly zero snaps last season with Barkley, Tate, Shepard, Slayton and Engram all on the field at the same time).

Matt Mueller 146 Posted August 31, 2020 FWIW Darnold improved his completion %, improved his tds and reduced his interceptions while coming back from mono on a team with no weapons This Jets fan was sitting here quite content at work. Now all riled up. HOOOOOO! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmh6476 834 Posted August 31, 2020 I think Kyler Murray has a chance. I think in order to be top 5, you have to have a really talented receiving corp or simply be an uber talented QB. Jones might end up there someday, but I don't have much confidence in Golden Tate, Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton helping him get there this year.

Plus Murray did finish 7th last season , with the addition of Hopkins that might put him up those two big steps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kyler murray presents a nice floor due to his running ability. I could see him doing it. Jones has flashed potential, but i dont see top 5. Top 10 if he takes a step forward in his development (odds are good that he will) for him to be top 5 literally everything would need to go right for him. dont get me wrong. I like Jones. he looks like he has a bright future. but I think top 5 is a next year discussion. Not a this year discussion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtztdm 2 Posted August 31, 2020 Could Murray be this years Lamar Jackson? He has a better receiving corps for sure. I think Murray will finish in top 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, maybe he should go back to the crew he had last year, because from Week 8 on, Daniel Jones WAS the fifth-best QB in fantasy football. So "someday" was last year. 1 hour ago, Ray_T said: Jones has flashed potential, but i dont see top 5.

Ray_T 673 Posted August 31, 2020 I'll have to agree to disagree with you on this one AxeElf. I think fftoday has him ranked as the #11 or #12 QB. I do think he will do better than this. I just dont think top 5 is in the cards for him this year. In my keeper league where we start 2 QB's I'm looking at him as an option if his owner does not keep him (currently it looks like he wont) If I can get him for the price of a high end QB2 or low end QB1 i'll buy all day. but I'm not ready to get on the top 5 bandwagon. not yet anyways. -ediit fftoday has him as the 15th ranked QB. sorry for the mixup. I thought I saw him ranked higher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you saying that Daniel Jones was NOT the fifth-best QB in fantasy last year from Week 8 onward? I'm saying he beat up on a couple of terrible defenses to get that ranking. iif you look at any of the good defenses he faced the result was not great. vikings in week 5 21-38 182 yards 1 TD 1 int pats week 6 15-31 161 yards 1 td 3 INT Chicago week 12 21-36 150 yards 2 TD 0 int. the 2 TD saved his the day fantasy wise that week but he lost the game. late season beat downs against washiiington and the jets dont instill a lot of confidence. any mediiocre qb should put up decent stats agaiinst those defenses. I am encouraged by the good outcome agaiinst philly in week 17, so its not all bad. I just dont see top 5 in this kid this year. he needs to get better I'd say he is improving week 4 against washington wasnt that good. week 16 against the same team was fantastic. to me that shows hes going the riight direction, but a lot of teams beat up on the Washinigton defense last year so lets not make this into more than it is.

Ray_T 673 Posted August 31, 2020 to add to what I was saying, he needs to be able to have good fantasy days against those top defenses. this year he plays pittsburgh, chicago, San fran, and the rams iini the first 4 weeks. iif he passes those tests I'd say hes ready to roll as the rest of his schedule gets a lot easier after that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fine, but we're not talking about a two game sample; there were a few OTHER games in which he had to play well in order to finish as the #5 QB from Week 8 onward. 3 hours ago, Ray_T said: iif you look at any of the good defenses he faced the result was not great. vikings in week 5 21-38 182 yards 1 TD 1 int pats week 6 15-31 161 yards 1 td 3 INT Chicago week 12 21-36 150 yards 2 TD 0 int. the 2 TD saved his the day fantasy wise that week but he lost the game. I said from Week 8 onward. I'm not going to hold subpar performances in a rookie's first 6 NFL games against him, when his more recent performances put him among the top 5. Still concerned about the Chicago game? Well, ok... but then you better fade Mahomes too; he had an abysmal outing in November against the Chargers, with only 182 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. If that wasn't bad enough, he followed up that performance with a 175/1/0 clunker against the Raiders just two weeks later after his bye. So clearly Jones is better than Mahomes. 3 hours ago, Ray_T said: I just dont see top 5 in this kid this year Then look at last year, when he achieved it.
