Kind of a Fantasy Football Update: August 9

8/10/2014

Kyle asked me for some booms and busts...at 1 am at a bar. Here's some drop mic fantasy advice.

Boom: Golden Tate - New offense that is better than the Seahawks. Lions value him more and he'll always be in single coverage because of Megatron.

Bust: Johnny Manziel - I'm sorry 14 year-old Sportscenter watcher, Hoyer is actually better than him, and that's not saying much. If you draft Manziel you better be backing up...well, let's be honest, if you're drafting Manziel you're probably finishing last anyway.

Boom: Matt Ryan - You're probably waiting for a QB because you're smart. When I mock draft, there always seems to be 3 QBs I'm okay with taking left in the late rounds, Romo, Brady & Ryan. Ryan still has something to prove, unlike Brady, and he has the health Tony Romo doesn't to throw mad TDs to Roddy White, Julio Jones, Harry Douglas & even Levine Toilolo, born the same day as Kyle, isn't that fuckin' cool? (He made me put that). Okay, I'm done trying to convince you, take it from a league champion (photo of the trophy to come) if you take Brady or Romo or Kap or Russell Wilson or Cam Newton before Matt Ryan you're signing you're own death warrant. Also, if you take Brees, Rodgers or Manning in the first 2 rounds you're an idiot. Manning has nowhere to go but down.

Bust: Nick Foles - Foles matched his total for interceptions in a season in less than 15 minutes last night. Could Mark Sanchez be waiting in the wings to turn the team's future Kelly green? Possibly. Defenses are starting to figure Foles out, he lost his #1 receiver so the field just got shorter & the Eagles have the greatest RB in the game currently, the offense will run through Shady more than Foles. He isn't that rookie darling anymore who's gonna throw you 7 Eagles TDs against the Raiders...Matt Schaub will do that. Jokes and whatnot haha....but seriously, Foles is like the 16th best fantasy QB. Tread lightly.

Bust: Montee Ball - I'm not totally sure how Ball is considered a first round pick by some. If you're taking someone as your RB1 you want to know they can get the job done. Ball has never done it before and lost his job to Knowshon Moreno last year. With Manning at the helm, the Broncos don't even need to have much of a run game to win contests. Time will tell if Ball has what it takes to step up and be a true RB1 this year. I'll be avoiding him in the first round though.

DeSean Jackson is a better fantasy option than Nick Foles: @BroadStBeat
