Somehow Lamar Jackson might have got better

Week 1 has come to an end and we do our best to talk the long game. We start off with a waiver wire pick available in 99.9% of ESPN leagues. If it was too late for your waiver wire we have way more good information for you.  We follow up on last week's talk on air yards.  Was Mike's prophecy that they would be down true? We talk about the air yards for players like Lamar Jackson, Kyler Murray, Kirk Cousins, Patrick Mahomes, and Russell Wilson. The surprising start of the Jacksonville Jaguars and what it could mean long term for fantasy managers.  We discuss if a Gardner Minshew, DJ Chark, Lavishka Shenault, and James Robinson core is a legitimate foundation. One of us is concerned about Austin Ekeler not being involved in the pass game. If Tyrod Taylor loses the job and Justin Herbert takes over the concern goes away some but Joshua Kelley proved himself worthy of playing time.  We discuss the train wreck the New York Jets are, why they should fire Adam Gase yesterday and how even when they do things we like they screw them up. Those were all the quick hits. We went into greater depth on the long term picture of Cam Newton and the new-look New England Patriots offense. We talk about what it projects for in the future, what it looks like against the rest of their schedule, and how soon he will need to see if his arm is back. We discuss the disgusting showing from the Cleveland Browns.  We think Baker Mayfield will be done in Cleveland soon but project a potentially rosy future for him.  The wide receiver group might not be what we thought it was going to be despite Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. Lastly we discuss how much we love the future of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger showed enough to get excited about the pass catchers. JuJu Smith-Schuster looked like the JuJu of old but with a new Antonio Brown like weapon in Diontae Johnson.  The improved James Washington provided quality on his targets and Chase Claypool looked NFL ready including making the hardest catch of the week. We close it out with a buy and sell that we think you can get good value on today and be ahead of your league.
