Still, the COVID-19 pandemic, a truncated, preseason-free low season, happened: the 2020 NFL crusade began in time with an excellent ride of gladiators who entered the stadium and fought for grill supremacy.
Professional football is back, even if it doesn’t feel the same as in past seasons due to a lack of enthusiasts and everyone on the sidelines dressed in masks for safety reasons. Fortunately, all players and coaches passed their COVID-19 tests in the past. weekend, according to nfl network’s Ian Rapoport.
Thus, the change to occasions in the area and the position of the league after a week of play, especially players who experienced revolutionary performances.
Here are some examples with others to come.
Bleacher Report’s team of NFL writers, Brad Gagnon, Brent Sobleski, Gary Davenport, and Matt Miller, has deteriorated if they expect those initial contributions to continue or give way in the coming weeks.
Much of the Green Bay Packers’ off-season has been spent to streamline why the organization has not made significant investments in the open catcher position to marry Davante Adams.
But manager Brian Gutenkunst liked what the team already had on the list.
“[I] didn’t think anyone could have an effect on our list this year,” Gutenkunst told reporters.
To be honest, Marquez Valdés-Scantling and Allen Lazard had four receptions in Sunday’s 43-34 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Valdes-Scantling, in particular, was inspired by 96 yards and a landing reception.
What is the probability that Valdes-Scantling will do Aaron Rodgers’ WR2 and give the Packers some other coherent risk beyond Adam?
Brad Gagnon: Selling
Not that it’s not impressive and hasn’t shone in the past, but I have a feeling Rodgers will pick his punches all season. Turns out Lazard has his days too, and it’s all about Adams.
Brent Sobleski: SellsIn its first two seasons, Valdés-Scantling only hit 49. 6% of its goals. Finally, a certain inconsistency will make your ugly head appear. When that happens, Rodgers will continue to accept as true with the width of 25 years. Receiver? And that’s the riddle. M. V. S. et Lazard will probably negotiate weeks in which one is the quarterback’s moment option while the other occupies the back seat.
Gary Davenport: Sell
After catching 4 passes for 96 yards and a touchdown, Valdez-Scantling will be an addition of popular exemption in fantasy leagues this week, but we’ve already noticed this movie, it probably won’t happen this week. Minnesota high school problem, which is even worse than I feared.
Matt Miller: Selling, has Rodgers discovered a new weapon of trust?Perhaps, however, Rodgers attacked a very young and green Viking cornering organization. It’s inopportune to wait for a weekly rehearsal.
Less than two weeks ago, Leonard Fournette, on the Jacksonville Jaguars’ most sensible intensity chart as offensive leader, is now a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after the Jaguars pitched the fourth overall pick in the 2017 draft.
With the movement taking position so close to the start of the normal season, the Jaguars did not necessarily have an advantage in replacing Fournette. Uns recruited rookie James Robinson had to take over after the organization placed Ryquell Armstead on the reserve/COVID-19 list last week.
“He proved he deserved it,” Minshew told reporters Wednesday about Robinson. “We keep giving him more and everyone on the team is very excited about him and the opportunity he has. “
The freshman loaded the ball 16 times for 62 yards on his debut. To what extent can Jaguars depend on Robinson as the focal point of their attack?
Brad Gagnon: Selling
After a strong start, he has gained only 10 yards on his last nine hauls and ended up with less than 4. 0 yards consistent with the attempt. Those numbers would have been worse if a non-public foul on Indy hadn’t erased a five-yard loss in the fourth quarter With limited offensive support, I’m about to crown an unsused recruit.
Brent Sobleski: Buy with a few questions
Forget for a moment that Robinson wasn’t selected in the draft, because the school’s little runner was talented enough to justify a choice, especially after great functionality in this year’s East-West Shrine game. In addition, Jaguars don’t have a better option in let the recruit load the load this year and see what happens.
Gary Davenport: Buy with a few questions
Robinson was not wonderful running the ball, averaging 3. 9 yards consistent with a run, but the young man amassed 90 yards of scrum and the Jags won, not bad for a UDFA that went from the margins of the list to the team’s head. about a week.
Matt Miller: Too soon to say it, are Jaguars smart or are ColtsArrays bad?That’s about to be noticed. It’s fun to overreact to Week 1, however, what we’ve noticed from Robinson can only be an opportunity for beginners.
The drama in Philadelphia will go into a state of action this week after NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that “tensions are high” between the tight end of the Eagles, Zach Ertz and general manager Howie Roseman. two, with a contract extension imaginable that is probably the point of discussion.
Although a seed of disconnection was planted, Dallas Goedert did not improve the stage by defeating Ertz in Sunday’s 27-17 loss to the Washington football team. .
What are the chances of the Eagles attack starting to move away from Ertz and providing Goedert with an increased risk of reception?
Brad Gagnon: Buy
It was almost the best and his record gives us some of our confidence that it was not a coincidence. With his skill, he and Ertz can become a real two-headed monster.
Brent Sobleski: Buy
There is no explanation as to why this deserves to be a scenario: both closed wings will have to be presented, and Goedert will be asked to block less and a larger component of the airstrike, its expansion will only make life less difficult for Carson Wentz.
Gary Davenport: Buy
If Goedert wasn’t stuck with Ertz on the Eagles intensity chart, he’d probably be a star by now. Phil has to make him a full-time player, with Ertz or not with Ertz. Play with staff “12” all the time. It’s not like Philadelphia’s open receivers are very smart at rare events when they’re healthy.
Matt Miller: Buy
The Eagles will most likely continue to throw deeper hits on Jalen Reagor, but Goedert will remain a big component of that offensive.
Without the most effort of a season in school football history, defensive finisher Chase Young would have been redeemed as the number one prospect in this year’s NFL draft. But Joe Burrow has happened, and the Washington football team is grateful that quarterbacks take precedence over all other positions.
In Young’s first competition, the fierce defender of the advantage had 1. 5 catches and one escape.
“My definition of a man is expected to play,” Young told reporters after Washington’s 27-17 victory.
The rookie was talking about veteran Ryan Kerrigan, but the comment also applies to his performance. What kind of score does Young get after his impressive deyet?
Brad Gagnon: Buy
You couldn’t have asked for a much better start. Philadelphia’s offensive line was in ruins, but I don’t think you can forget about Young’s early effect because of that. With so much help in front, he’s going to destroy rival quarterbacks. All season long.
Brent Sobleski: Buy
All the most productive skill does not live up to expectations, especially in your first professional competition. The young man has exploited an exhausted offensive front from the Philadelphia Eagles, and will do even more damage as the season progresses. The Washington smuggler was already regarded as the favorite defensive rookie of the year, and it’s hard to believe anyone else will win the prize.
Gary Davenport: Buy
Young was as announced in his NFL debut, racking up 1. 5 catches and spending a lot of time in the Eagles backfield in Washington’s disappointed victory. I predicted before the season that Young would break the rookie catch record, and I’m not about to replace my brain now.
Matt Miller: BuyYoung was my top rated player in the 2020 draft for one reason: he’s a baseball player and he’ll only get better. Facing a decimated Eagles offensive line helped, but that’s what enthusiasts expect from him every week.
The Baltimore Ravens gave the Cleveland Browns a 38-6 run in the opening of the rivals this season. In doing so, several rookies contributed to this year’s first-round national team, with supporter Patrick Queen at the helm.
Queen, whom the Ravens chose with the 28th team, led Baltimore with eight tackles in total, but the athletic backing staff added much more. The rookie forced a getaway, recorded a catch and added hit to the quarterback.
The Ravens had to rebuild their supporters after last season with Patrick Onwuasor and Josh Bynes went to the agency loose. Queen temporarily took over the coat. What are the chances that the Ravens will see the same crown game point in their 2020 campaign draft elegance?
Brad Gagnon: too soon to say it
The Browns are too confusing for me to draw conclusions about what the Ravens did on Sunday, adding Queen. Let’s see what happens in the coming weeks against the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs.
Brent Sobleski: Buy with a few questions
The key is where Queen’s headed from here. Yes, he filled out the statistics sheet, but the Ravens made mistakes in the defense, especially as opposed to the Browns ground game. Queen is a true three-player player who has a chance to become a defensive leader. throughout the season.
Gary Davenport: Buy
Having been thrown to the wolves as a player on the court after no preseason, Queen has done well.
Matt Miller: Buy
An elite prospect as a rookie, Queen is an athlete who competed for LSU last season. He is not yet prepared as a one-year-old student, but his gambling and speed are the real deal.
Maybe, just maybe, Dave Caldwell, general manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars, was aware when he said the following in an interview on the NFL Network: “We can’t a year rebuild, and that’s not our way of thinking. Our way of thinking is to put the most productive team to play, compete and win. “To the astonishment of many, the Jaguars escaped with a 27-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. The ultimate component of Jacksonville’s functionality focused on its young players, especially cornerman CJ Henderson, who was selected through the franchise with the ninth overall team this year.
Henderson suffocated colts receivers all afternoon with three deflected passes and an interception. What is the option for the cornerer to maintain this playing point in his rookie campaign?
Brad Gagnon: Buy
One selection, one assist, 3 passes defended in total, five tackles and no big passes are allowed. Henderson already looks like a superstar, and it’s not like he’s opposed to a bad attack.
Brent Sobleski: Buying the Jaguars were meant to be the tank team for the most sensible selection overall. Still, his last selection of 10 most sensible showed that he can play with the most productive of them. Actually, Henderson’s functionality shouldn’t come as a surprise. His fluency in politics at school was evident.
Gary Davenport: Buy
Five solos, 3 defensive passes and an interception are rarely a bad start to 2020. If the Jaguars are going to be competitive in 2020, they will want Henderson to be a leader at the rear.
Matt Miller: Buy
Henderson, one of my 10 most sensitive players in the elegance of 2020 and it’s a real corner blocking the men’s deck. We saw him on Sunday as opposed to one of the NFL’s most productive quarterbacks in the last decade.
The Los Angeles Chargers left Melvin Gordon down this offse and paved the way for Austin Ekeler to take on the position of offensive leader.
Ekeler ran the ball 19 times for 84 yards in the Chargers’ 16-13 win over the Cincinnati Bengals (thanks to a failed basket at the last second), however, his back proved more effective when he had a chance to bring the ball.
Fourth-round rookie Joshua Kelley averaged 5. 0 yards consistent with a run in 12 attempts and scored a touchdown. It brings more physical presence to the lineup as Ekeler is a smaller runner. Closed wing Hunter Henry said Kelley had taken a rhythm. at the time of half, which helped the offensive.
How high does the rookie runner deserve, and everyone expects more in the coming weeks?
Brad Gagnon: Buy
The guy can cut! It becomes transparent that he and Ekeler will get most of the task and that the Chargers backfield would possibly be just a two-headed monster. I’m sorry, Justin Jackson.
Brent Sobleski: Buy with a few questions
It is possible that the Chargers would simply have finished the game if they had continued to ride Kelley, who through the team’s maximum effective offensive player in the middle of the moment. Instead, offensive coordinator Shane Steichen summoned a couple of fade passes near the purpose line instead of feedback. The Chargers couldn’t make the same mistake again because Kelley has shown he can create positive moves.
Gary Davenport: Sell
Kelley seems to have cut himself as a complement to Ekeler’s tackles with the Chargers, and 12 runs for 60 yards (and a score) don’t explain why sneeze. But this is an example where variation in workload can simply decrease your outlook.
Matt Miller: Sell
The recoil committee is real, however, Kelley’s Week 1 production is higher than expected and higher than it will normally be. His talent, especially among tackles, is a smart complement to Ekeler, however, the Chargers’ offense will continue in the beginning as the season progresses.
Tom Brady would probably have discovered his new favorite target as a Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, and that’s not what you’d expect.
Scotty Miller finished the moment on the team with six targets, in five receptions for 73 yards. This year’s catcher led the team with an average of 14. 6 yards consistent with reception in Tampa Bay’s 34-23 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
The Buccaneers have a great talent in air play with open receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, such as closed wings Rob Gronkowski, O. J. Howard and Cameron Brate.
Miller has a chance to be a risk out of the slot. Will you continue to prove that you are capable of being a consistent weapon for Brady in the campaign?
Brad Gagnon: Buy
You can’t be too excited because Mike Evans doesn’t get close to 100 percent in this case, however, there’s no denying that Miller seems like a typical Tom Brady favorite. The 23-year-old sixth-round player has averaged a ridiculous 12. 4 yards Consistent with goal in his last 4 rookie games and has not lost any of the 26 passes thrown out of season, so possibly that functionality would not have been a coincidence.
Brent Sobleski: SellBrady has a habit of converting undersized or uns selected slot features into number one targets, but buccaneers have too much ability to think Miller will emerge as a component of the system. too much firepower in this group.
Gary Davenport: Sell
That note on any Miller hit, who quietly had a forged game opposite the Saints, but the stats line had more to do with the injured Evans than Miller himself, but I don’t know if the target percentage will be there in the long run.
Matt Miller: Sell
Scotty Miller will play a vital role in this attack, however, once Evans is healthy, there will be fewer goals for him. The same can be said of the progression of the offensive as players like Rob Gronkowski and Leonard Fournette appear in a new Miller is a life weapon, however, it remains only the third or fourth choice in the aerial game.
