Kevin Tompkins (@ktompkinsii.bsky.social)
if you give me a middle-in pitch as a lefty, I'm pulling out my phone to record the homer, texting my friends about the homer, and that video of the home run is on Instagram by the time I get to 2nd base Kyle Freeland is a gas can and he's mad NOW!?

If you're asking if I want to add the RB that's "third" on an unofficial depth chart, who: - was cut twice - played the 2nd half of the 1st preseason gm - started the 3rd preseason gm - had 2nd-most carries in that gm - has 23 career rec. in 7 college/pro seasons idk what to tell ya, probably no?

So, it takes a lot for me to care about a mid-range tight end, but Dallas Goedert is worth it. I provide the upside case, which is pretty massive, and it doesn’t even take much to realize it. My latest on @fantasyalarm.bsky.social 👇👇👇

I think there's been slightly too much bullishness about an H&R Block employee who took a year off of football and now is the fourth target in an okay-to-decent offense, but that's just me

A lot of those WR are a pretty flat tier and McMillan's warts are more offensive environment-related (which are improving or at least have the ability to further improve) I'm willing to be aggressive and looking at the WR around him, it was where I'd rather have him than Garrett Wilson & Higgins

Also, Tetairoa McMillan now has the runway for 150+ targets this season and he's going off of draft boards WAY too cheaply He was going in the late-3rd round w/ many pushing him up into the early 3rd Now, a late 2nd/2-3 turn pick for me & should be ranked over Tee Higgins, I'm ranking him as such

you know, some are saying Micah Parsons being traded could be good for Amon-Ra St. Brown
Kevin Tompkins (@ktompkinsii.bsky.social) reposted
So CeeDee Lamb has already kinda surpassed Justin Jefferson in drafts, with the Cowboys now likely in more shootouts or trailing scripts, Lamb should cement as WR2 for the rest of draft szn. Pickens should be drafted at the bottom of the top-20 WR group, alongside Harrison, JSN, Evans, and Wilson.
Kevin Tompkins (@ktompkinsii.bsky.social) reply parent
It's a bet on efficiency receiver that's great in per-target metrics now getting less attention paid to him because he's working alongside an alpha in an offense that will see close to 600 team pass attempts. Efficiency + opportunity is the baseline for any breakout WR
Kevin Tompkins (@ktompkinsii.bsky.social) reply parent
He's never been a zero with YAC (more last season than Courtland Sutton/Jordan Addison) and was WR13 in 2023 with YAC (409), so I don't know if he's catch and fall. Going to Dallas, he'll have a massive increase in team pass att. from Pittsburgh & TDs aren't sticky, but he COULD spike there.
Kevin Tompkins (@ktompkinsii.bsky.social) reply parent
That's not how it works, though.. Hill/Waddle Chase/Higgins AJ Brown/Smith Jefferson/Addison All duos that have lifted up the second receiver Lamb at Z & Pickens as the contested-catch, downfield X is a perfect combo and both will earn a ton of targets, potentially 40-45% of Cowboys' targets
Kevin Tompkins (@ktompkinsii.bsky.social) reply parent
- Efficient receiver 2.00+ YPRR the last two seasons - 23% targets per route run last season - strong yards per target numbers with at least 9.0+ in all three seasons Traded to what is likely to be a very condensed offense with Lamb/Pickens/Ferguson with not much target-earning behind those three
