icon sports wire. Getty Images.Now that the first few days of legal tampering (literally “legal corruption”) are over, it's time to have a little fun and find out the winners and losers of the 2024 fantasy football season. Maybe you're in a keeper league or dynasty. Or maybe you just want a quick look at some of the key players who have moved or been affected by a transfer.
winner
#1 – Josh Jacobs
I don't know how productive this guy has been in the black holes of Oakland and Las Vegas, but it will be interesting to see how much production he can provide in Green Bay's top run offense. right. I'm going to go ahead and predict that Josh Jacobs will even catch a touchdown pass this season. Even if it's just his one that will increase his career receiving touchdowns to…1. That is correct. Josh Jacobs has never scored a receiving touchdown, despite having 201 catches in 74 games in which he started all but one game. You said he was stuck in a black hole, right?
#2 & 3 – Drake London and Kyle Pitts
Check out the atmosphere in Atlanta and see how Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and Kirk Cousins mesh.
Kirk seems like the perfect fit for a pair of talents who have been as unjustly kept in a dungeon for years as Edmond Dantes. Kirk's career has basically been about finding the No. 1 receiver, and if that doesn't work, check out the tight end. That's perfect. Both pass-catchers look to take revenge on the universe and look more unrecognizable than before.
#4 – Saquon Barkley
I think there is a similar story here. It's impressive that this guy was able to maintain his productivity last season (and just about any season) as a Giant, and he's now Philadelphia's lead dog. Even more so in PPPT leagues (points per push touch). In fact, I think the Eagles would be wise to use Barkley as a boost and Hurts as a boost this season. Hurts was obviously… well… injured last season, but now the Eagles have 98% market share in backfield quads (QB included), so this could be Tash Push 2.0. there is.
#5 – Derrick Henry
This was the perfect scenario for a running back who was turning into Gurley Grass before our eyes. Remember when Gurley threw for 14 yards and 47 touchdowns a few years ago? These numbers may not be accurate, but the guy fell into more fantasy points than he ran. That may be all Henry has to do in Baltimore. As the Kings tend to do, they don't run Lamar as much on the goal line as many think they do, with Henry able to ride the tail of the common man's court in the trenches and bring production.
loser
#1 – Someone named Justin
Herbert will probably be fine, but last week was a disaster for Jefferson and Fields. Jefferson has to train with the Ghostbusters this offseason, so Darnold knows where to put the ball, and Fields looked like he could start in either Atlanta or Pittsburgh. Now, he appears to be stuck on an off-brand grocery store's Sunday paper coupon, which is unscratched and surrounded by a rectangular cutout. Forget Russell Wilson, even Sam Darnold was ruled out before Fields.
#2 – Austin Ekeler
During last season's training camp in Irvine, Calif., I saw Austin Ekeler walking through targets. No, he didn't come to Target to shop with us regular people, he just passed by because Target is between an outdoor mall and the parking lot where his presumably very expensive car is parked. It is. But he wasn't alone. He was having such a great time holding hands with his female companions, giggling and sweet-talking that I walked in front of him with a cart full of baby diapers and a list. I didn't even notice the blogger who was there. The author goes into enough detail that a first grader would have a hard time getting it wrong.
I bring this up because I can confirm from the people he runs that Austin Ekeler is not a loser. It is understandable that the hypothetical blogger mentioned above would be too competitive, even if he did not fail to raise his 50% of the provided list due to distractions. But this is fantasy we're talking about…fantasy football we're talking about. And you can't just go from a standout offensive line that has been in the spotlight for years to the Washington Commanders and expect things to work out. And having a debacle season in 2023 won't make things any better. But maybe his heart wasn't in the game as much last year. Personally, I don't blame him. Not based on a trip to Target that day anyway.not based on which one About the trip to Target that day.
#3 – Calvin Ridley
I guess this all depends on what you think of Will Reavis. Because I actually want to accept that this is a sneaky positive transfer from Jacksonville to Tennessee. He could become a high-profile right night rod for the Titans, as the ball was spread out to too many pass catchers in Jacksonville. I don't think the team is in a good place after letting go of the best coach in the league due to ownership damage.
#4 – Gabe Davis
This year's Troll is on the move, hoping you'll see him as a changed man who needed a new scene for things to work out. Please don't fall into this trap. please do not. If anything, Jacksonville was the perfect place for him to keep fooling us all into thinking that scoring 25 points one week meant they wouldn't give us a goose egg the next week. Calvin Ridley himself was a candidate for Troll of the Year, but now Gabe has taken on the role.
Aaron Jones and Tony Pollard were clearly evaluated offensively and received honorable mentions.
