As franchise prices continue to skyrocket, though, it should be expected that what has become known as an unnecessarily complicated financial agreement will be become the new norm. The reason this seems unfamiliar is because, in the past, buyers of franchises have historically been able to afford the purchase without the help of limited partners. Harris and company drafted the 43-page document, titled “Commanders Investment Opportunity” and marked as “Privileged & Confidential,” to help pitch potential limited partners to buy into the deal with Harris. The “Harris” of that group is in reference to 76ers co-owner and potential buyer of the Commanders, Josh Harris. The Carolina Panthers offense looks different than it did a year ago.ESPN’s Seth Wickersham and John Keim recently reported on a prospectus drafted by Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment and its advisers. They've been a pass-heavy team with Dak Prescott under center over the last year, and that was evident in Week 1: no team had more team targets than the Cowboys. In Dallas' case, it's a little different. ![]() ![]() In most cases, a team's number-three wide receiver wouldn't be that big of a deal in fantasy football. The player in Dallas' offense that'll benefit most is likely Cedrick Wilson, who played the fourth-most snaps on the team at wide receiver while seeing three targets. Michael Gallup looked really good in the aforementioned Week 1 contest against the Bucs, but he hurt his calf and is now out for three to five weeks. If you can get him for cheaper than that - which you may be able to after Week 1's performance - go for it. We should treat Elliott as an RB1, but instead of a mid-range one like he was drafted as, we're likely looking at more of a low-end one this season. The hope is that this was due to the matchup, but the Cowboys were also manufacturing touches for Tony Pollard, and Pollard ended up seeing more targets than Elliott against the Bucs (4 versus 2). Even though he ran a solid 44 routes (per Pro Football Focus) in Week 1, we can't overlook the fact that Elliott saw just 3.5% of Dallas' targets in that game, marking the lowest he's seen since 2019 and the fourth-lowest single-game share of his entire career. The reason I'm not all in is because there's some - not a lot, but some - concern about Zeke's receiving numbers. And Los Angeles is only favored by 2.5 points this weekend. We want positive game scripts for Elliott to thrive, and from Week 2 through the middle of November, this week's contest against the Chargers may be the only time the Cowboys are underdogs. Upcoming for the Cowboys is a much, much friendlier schedule. It's not like Zeke was facing, I don't know, the Texans. Tampa Bay's got a nasty front, and they were top-five in the league last year in adjusted fantasy points allowed. We've got to keep the opponent in mind, as well. It wasn't far off from his 2019 share, too, where he saw 80.0% of Dallas' running back rushes per contest. Elliott handled 78.6% of the team's running back rushes, which was right in line with his 2020 average of 73.5% per game. ![]() You're looking for way more out of a first round fantasy football selection.įortunately, there were some positives. He ran for just 33 yards on 11 carries, and he added only 2 catches for 6 yards in the passing game. On the NFL's opening night, Ezekiel Elliott struggled. Note: The transactions each week are not in order of importance. The good news is that, over the long run, a sound process will win out. Sometimes the process isn't totally wrong, but the result is. ![]() He was the complementary back in the Eagles offense in Week 1, not Scott. Instead, it was Gainwell's turn right away. Yours truly thought he was an interesting end-of-bench add for some undervalued production, assuming it would be Kenneth Gainwell 's turn as the season went on. This same thing happened with the dart throw Boston Scott recommendation. Mostert, who was set for a big day, got hurt early in his battle against the Lions.īut the process! Elijah Mitchell, who's predictably going to be analyzed further down the page, stepped in and ran for over 100 yards and a score. Sermon, as the fantasy football world now knows, was a surprise inactive in Week 1. The first recommendation was to buy Trey Sermon and Raheem Mostert. Last week’s 15 Transactions column was a good lesson on process.
