I do not. This offense is going to suck again in 2020 and Ryan Griffin is still hanging around on this roster. Herndon could have some streaming appeal in certain matchups this season, but I do not expect him to be a consistent starter for you each week.

Hey Kyle, I’ve been offered 2 trades, I’m unsure of, been offered Dalvin Cook and Calvin Ridley for Hopkins and Todd Gurley, also bern offered Tarik Cohen and David Montgomery for Austin Ekeler, bit are in full PPR leagues, thanks
Kyle Yates
1:36
As for the Cook/Ridley for Hopkins/Gurley deal, both RBs come with major question marks. Is Cook going to holdout? Is Gurley going to be able to play all 16 games? With that in mind, it becomes a Ridley for Hopkins trade and I'd prefer the Hopkins side. It just ultimately doesn't help either roster, so I'm not really interested in moving pieces for the sake of moving pieces. As for Cohen/Montgomery for Ekeler, I'm not opposed to the deal from a value perspective, but I'd be very hesitant to invest in two Chicago Bears RBs. Although I like Cohen and Montgomery this year, I think it comes with its own risk.

Why is no one talking about Justin Jefferson on the Vikings? Cousins was able to maintain both Thielen and Diggs, Thielen is getting older, I think Jefferson will see a lot of targets yet you hear Lamb, Jeudy, Mims and Ruggs talked about much more than Jefferson and some of these guys have a lot more competition. What am I missing?
Kyle Yates
1:37
I'm not sure why Jefferson's not being talked about more. He's walking into an incredible opportunity. This offense could be even more run-heavy than previous seasons though with Gary Kubiak calling plays, which is scary. Jefferson's going to be a WR3 candidate as long as Thielen's in the lineup, but if Thielen misses time, Jefferson could move into the WR1 discussion. He certainly has the talent.

Hey Kyle!Is Metcalf a steal in 5th round in redrafts?
Kyle Yates
1:38
Absolutely! Metcalf saw 17 red zone targets, but only caught 29% of them. If that catch percentage comes up to even 50%, those are extremely valuable receptions for fantasy football. A WR1 finish is not out of the realm of possibilities for Metcalf this season.

Better wr duo. Standard league. Chris Godwin and Julio Jones, or Davante Adams and Juju
Kyle Yates
1:41
I'd personally go with Godwin and Julio there. Julio's my WR2 this season and Godwin's my WR4. Adams is my WR3 and Juju's my WR11.

Anyone hope in Le'Veon Bell this year? I have him projected at RB 12. Am I Le'veon a Prayer?
Kyle Yates
1:44
First off, fantastic fantasy football team name. Secondly, yes you're living on a prayer there. Adam Gase is looking to take the ball out of Bell's hands this year and this offense is going to be rough again in 2020. This doesn't present many scoring opportunities for Bell. Ultimately, take the guys that you believe in, but I'm not looking to draft Bell this year.

12 tm .5 ppr 5 keeper league. Your thoughts on me trading Davante Adams and my 1.7 for Joe Mixon and the 1.3 so I can nab JK Dobbins. My other keepers are L. Jackson, J. Jacobs, M. Ingram, Thielen, Chark/H. Henry. His other keepers are M. Sanders, Ekeler, Nuke, K. Murray/D. Watson, Mosteret/Lyndsay/T.Y. Hilton. Thanks in advance Kyle.
Kyle Yates
1:46
With that WR corps that you have right now, I would look to keep Adams, personally. I don't believe that you can safely rely on Thielen and Chark this season the way that you could with Adams. I'd love to have Mixon and Dobbins, but I'd do my best to keep Adams, personally.

Tyler Higbee - late season fluke or the real deal?
Kyle Yates
1:49
This is all dependent upon the offensive philosophy. If they roll out a heavy 12 personnel look again (1RB/2TE) than Higbee will be a fantasy force this season. If they go back to heavy 11 personnel (1RB/1TE/3WR) than Higbee's likely going to lose target opportunities to Cooper Kupp, who will come on the field to fill the slot role. Higbee's a fantastic add late in your drafts.
Brad
1:49
How do you feel about Mike Evans this year? I'm torn on him with the addition of Gronk and then Brady being older and not being able to throw the ball downfield. I have been shopping him but lots of others are very much down on him this year as well.
Kyle Yates
1:50
I currently have Evans at WR12, so I'm still a big fan. Brady can still push the ball downfield, but he didn't have the WRs last year who could make it count. Brady's not going to air the ball out into danger if he doesn't trust the receiver to make the play and the Patriots wideouts just simply couldn't make those plays consistently. Evans is actually currently a Dynasty trade target in my mind, so I'd look to hold him.
Willis

I'm a dynasty owner of Fournette and I can't get anybody to bite on him.  I get it, despite his huge 2019 he's got injury history and a new OC that's been tough on RB's fantasy wise, plus Chris Thompson to steal targets.  Would you prefer to sell low on him now or wait to trade and see if he has a good start to the season?
Kyle Yates
1:52
This is a tough one. Fournette is still going to get a ton of carries this season, which you're going to be sacrificing if you move him now for a lower-tier option. Unfortunately, Fournette might just be a player that you hang onto for this season and then have to deal with his potential range of outcomes next offseason. The one thing working in your favor is that Fournette has the high draft capital to earn a second chance elsewhere in the NFL. Could we see him sign a cheap one-year deal in Atlanta next offseason? If that's the case, you're going to wish that you held onto him.

Why has Kyle Yates never once answered my question yet Dan Harris or Tags will reply to several, even the same question I had previously asked Kyle? Does Kyle Y have me blacklisted?
Kyle Yates
1:54
Hi Adam, it's never my intention to ignore someone. In these chats, I simply go down the questions in the order that they were posed to me and try to get to as many as I can. If you're referring to Twitter, please make sure that you're following me, otherwise I will not see the question or notification pop up due to my settings. I also get a ton of notifications and questions asked on a daily basis and it's very hard to keep up with all of them, so please don't feel personally attacked or ignored if I do not respond. Thanks for being involved in this chat though! I appreciate you taking time to read through and ask questions!

Hey Kyle! Could you give us a RB,WR, and a TE that nobody is talking about who could provide a lot more production than people are expecting?
Kyle Yates
1:57
Absolutely! For RB, I'm a big fan of drafting Antonio Gibson late. He has the potential to see work on the ground in Washington, but then also could step in as their slot WR. If that's the case, he's going to be a factor for fantasy football and he's going super cheap in drafts. As for WR, not many people are talking about Robby Anderson and he's being drafted outside the top-50 WRs. I have him right now at WR29. And as for TE, people are starting to talk about him more, but you need to draft Jonnu Smith this season. If you do want someone who's going super late though, Jace Sternberger is a fantastic option to take a flyer on at the end of your drafts. Last time I checked, he's going as the TE30 in ADP Consensus, which is ridiculous.

Looking to deal Deebo Samuel in a dynasty league, who are some guys I should target? I’m incredibly weak at RB
Kyle Yates
1:58
This will be the last question I answer today! Right now, I don't believe that you should sell Deebo unless you're absolutely desperate. His stock is incredibly low with his injury and the potential that he's not ready for the start of the season. However, if you absolutely need to move him, try to go get someone like Jordan Howard or Tarik Cohen. Or maybe even David Montgomery. All three of those guys are going to drastically outperform where they're being drafted right now.

Thanks so much for tuning in, everyone! We're getting close to football being back! Take care.
