🏈 Wham Bam Thank You Cam

Good morning. Guess what? It’s already September…

Feels like just yesterday I was watching my only fantasy championship come in my $20 league. Felt great putting hundreds of hours in, only to walk away with $120. Thankful for football.

We’ve got a great edition of the Morning Huddle for you this morning. Let’s dive in:

Terry McLaurin : The WR1

WR1… overall. Jake Tribbey, in his excellent (and free) article on FantasyPoints.com, explains:

“McLaurin has the best chance of any WR being drafted outside the top-5 in ADP to finish as the overall WR1. The market simply hasn’t priced-in this QB upgrade.”

Here’s what the Fitzmagic upgrade means for McLaurin.

• “If treated as one player, the QB duo of Smith and Haskins combined for a 77.8% catchable target rate (31st of 44 qualifiers) and a 6.2 average depth of target “aDOT” (the lowest of any QB with more than 40 attempts).

• A naturally aggressive thrower, Fitzpatrick has finished in the top-10 in QB aDOT in 4 of the last 5 seasons, and did so under four different offensive coordinators.”

Still not sold?

“McLaurin played through TWO high ankle sprains last year and averaged 17.7 FPG prior to injury? 17.7 FPG would’ve tied with A.J. Brown for WR6 last season, and that was with the anemic Dwayne Haskins and the hyper-conservative Alex Smith at QB.”

And there’s this

The entire article is worth reading. You can see Jake’s other bold takes (including why Diontae Johnson could lead the league in targets) by clicking here.

Cam is OUT Mac is IN

Adam Schefter reported this:

And fantasy football twitter realized this:

Great news for everyone not named Cam Newton. The Pats offense should be humming with Mac Jones behind center. Every skill position Pats player just went up in price.

This is starting to scare me. I was looking forward to some sh*t Patriots seasons.

Funniest News of the Day

• The Bengals have waived former fourth-round pick and starting guard Michael Jordan, per source. Always a surprise to see a team release Michael Jordan. Dangerous move.

• The Lions released both their kickers, Randy Bullock and Zane Gonzalez, leaving them without one on their roster. My boy Chad Ochocinco would like an audition.

• Not that there was any doubt, but Eagles’ HC Nick Sirianni officially named Jalen Hurts today as Philadelphia’s starting QB. It's funny it took them so long.

Handcuffed

Ladies and gentlemen, the most valuable handcuff in football: Chubba Hubbard.
