How much do you factor in coaching changes towards players’ value? For instance, Joe Lombardi coming from NOLA with Kamara has got to be great news for Ekeler, correct?
Mike Maher
1:19
I talked about this a little bit above with Duce Staley and the Lions/Swift. But this is obviously a bigger change since Lombardi is the OC and not a position coach. It's certainly intriguing, but Ekeler is going to have to stay healthy. But with Lombardi running the offense and a defensive head coach, we could see Ekeler top his 2019 receiving numbers if he can stay on the field.

If Zach Ertz is released/traded, how would you rank Goedert?
Mike Maher
1:20
I am already ranking Goedert as if Ertz is gone, and I have him in that second tier with Hockenson after Kelce, Kittle, Waller, and Andrews

Would you trade the 1.01 for the 1.05 and T.Higgins? Dynasty PPR.
Mike Maher
1:20
Probably not

7th pick in a redraft League. who do I target assuming the top 5 rbs and Davante go before me?
Mike Maher
1:21
Aaron Jones or Jonathan Taylor are next for me
Guest
1:22
Will Dallas have three 1,000 yard receivers?
Mike Maher
1:23
I'm not the biggest Gallup fan, but he still managed to put up 843 yards receiving with some of the worst quarterback play in the NFL last season. With Dak back for a full season and an extra game in the schedule, three 1,000 yard receivers is easily attainable for that offense. This is especially true if they don't improve that defense and have to compete in shootouts regularly.

We typically see big second year jumps from offenses after a new hire... we saw it in Atlanta with Shanahan & GB with LaFleur. With that said, what do you think of Cleveland’s offense & specifically OBJ? Is he being slept on?
Mike Maher
1:24
I have learned not to expect much from OBJ over the years because he just can't stay on the field. There are a lot of variables there: health, Baker Mayfield's development/overall play, the presence of two running backs they like to give the ball. OBJ is currently at 22 in ECR, and I doubt I would even take him as WR2, personally.
Andrew
1:24
Whats D'Andre Swift's value looking like this season?
Mike Maher
1:24
Talked about this a bit above, but there is RB1 upside for sure. At worst, I think is floor is as a solid RB2
Guest
1:25
Dak, Murray, Watson (assuming he plays)... how do you rank those QB’s after Mahomes & Allen?
Mike Maher
1:26
Murray, Dak, and then I'm assuming Watson is going to miss at least a few games (if not more).
Andrew
1:26
Do you think we'll see Swift as a receiving back as well or mostly used on the ground
Mike Maher
1:27
I think you'll see him catching his fair share of passes next season
Luke
1:27
Where does Kyle pitts fall in TE ranking ppr
Mike Maher
1:27
This obviously depends on his landing spot, but I'm slotting him right into my second tier with Goedert and Hockensen just because of the upside there
Guest
1:28
I have J Taylor and can trade him for Swift, 1.09...possibly something else on top. Is this a good deal. 10 man, superflex, ppr
Mike Maher
1:28
I am really high on Taylor, but Swift and 1.09 feels like a good return for him (I'm also high on Swift, so that helps)
Guest
1:29
Would you trade the 1.1 for Davante Adam’s and Jalen Hurts if you are thin at rb and have deshaun Watson at qb??
Mike Maher
1:29
Sure
And I don't know that Hurts is going to be a great or even really good quarterback, but I do expect him to be a valuable QB in fantasy in 2021
Guest
1:30
Do you expect the same passing game hierarchy in Pittsburgh?
Mike Maher
1:30
I am higher on Chase Claypool than most and could see him emerging as the top option there. Either way, I think it will be similar to last season.
Luke
1:30
What’s your opinion on jalen hurts in a 4 point passing and 6 points rushing TD leauge
Mike Maher
1:31
Alluded to this a bit above, but I think Hurts is going to be valuable in fantasy this season, especially in formats like the one you describe.
Chris
1:31
Starting a family league with very new people. What would be the best roster format for 8?
Mike Maher
1:32
Keep it simple to start. If you make it too complicated, new people might get confused and then lose interest. You aren't locked into whatever you decide this year. Keep it simple and on the smaller side and then expand next year when they are more comfortable.

Does Emmanuel Sanders’ signing in Buffalo mean they’re just ignoring the run game & going to be lining up with 4 receivers & letting Josh Allen go to town?
Mike Maher
1:33
It does not. Sanders is a fine value/depth signing, but he isn't going to revolutionize their offense. And Cole Beasley had a nice year, but he is who he is. I expect them to draft a wide receiver fairly early, as well. And I wouldn't be surprised to see them trade for tight end Zach Ertz at some point.
Guest
1:33
Team A akers, 2022 1st and 2023 1st for team B Barkley? Dynasty 10man PPR superflex you think trade is worth it?
Mike Maher
1:34
So, Barkley is obviously the better RB here. But those are valuable draft picks, especially in superflex. I think I would go with Team A on this one.
Dolfandan1972
1:34
Would you draft Russell Wilson in Rd 5. From the #4 draft position?
Mike Maher
1:35
I do not trust the Seattle offense even a little bit, and I am willing to be wrong about the Seahawks. And this question obviously depends on the format and how the board looks. But I have Wilson at 72, which is right around that range. So sure.
Guest
1:36
Only need to start 1 RB in a dynasty league with extra flexes. Does this change your rookie draft order. Have Jon Taylor and Derrick Henry with no depth.
Mike Maher
1:37
So, my first question here would be: you don't NEED to, but CAN you start more RBs? Only needing one and having two solid ones does make you more flexible. I would still lean RB early in rookie dynasty, especially because I think there will be good WRs in good landing spots later.
Guest

How would you rank the Jets’ wide receivers that you want first?
