Okā¦ last night was round 1 of two dynasty rookie drafts - I grabbed Trey Lance at 2 in a SuperFlex league and Najee Harris at 1 in a standard league. I couldnāt be happier.
That downside is that itās really really late in the morning and I work tomorrow. Hope youāre ready for some over-tired humor.
My oh My Miles
His stock is like anything I invest in, going down
BUT
Kenny Gainwell, RB, PHI
Miles Sandersā third-down work is in question. He may not even get that work. On a team that may not have DeVonta Smith for Week 1, the team will need somebody with some route-running acumen. Outside of the tight ends and not counting Smith, everybody else is pretty dusty (even Scott). Enter Gainwell, who played over Antonio Gibson at Memphis in 2019 and is a great route runner. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni knows how to use somebody with his profile; heās coached Nyheim Hines in Indianapolis and thatās a favorable comparison. Gainwell is also free in drafts.
This video made me cry
Jaylen Waddle update
DeVante Parker started training camp on the PUP list and Will Fuller has been held out of practice this week with an unspecified injury.
This sucks
Joe Burrow has struggled badly with interceptions and inconsistency in training camp. I hope to never write that again.
This rocks
This is the best thing youāll see all day
Quick Hits
The Athletic's Stephen Holder reports Colts sixth-round QB Sam Ehlinger is "off to a faster start than anticipated" and "has people within the organization buzzing." Maybe itās too early for Philip Rivers.
Julio Jones has missed the Titans' last two practices with an undisclosed injury.
Speaking Wednesday, Kliff Kingsbury said A.J. Green will miss some practice time with a "minor issue."
Andy Dalton is still on track to start for the Bears in Week 1

Absolutely love this subscription and it gets me ready to go for football season. Easily my favorite email every day. I donāt know if asking for trade advice is appropriate, but in my dynasty league, should I trade Henry, Andrews, and a 1st for ETN, Pitts, Pittman, and a 3rd? I fee like Henryās value will never be higher and ETN could prove to be an awesome back plus Pitts is Pitts. Thoughts?
I forget how I found this newsletter and when I subscribed to it, but I will say that seeing these again in my inbox is a refreshing read to start my work day!
PS. I don't see any Charger news or hype around rookie WR Josh Palmer.... let's keep it that way š
