Pearce Dietrich player whose low price never matched his production
. Well, this guy's salary caught up to him
at one point, but then he kind of fell
off the map with injuries Justin fields, we've been
hyping Justin fields for the last two seasons. Finally
we started to get it right and he was definitely
too cheap for several weeks if not a month.
Eventually the league caught on to him and then just
as people were catching on the Justin fields, he
got injured and fell apart. Which is actually kind
of interesting because we could go into next season and
people are gonna be, you know, sleeping on
Justin fields again, maybe we'll get some cheap pricing
on him. But what he showed with his legs
as his game developed through the air, he still
doesn't have any receivers and really eating any offensive line
around him, but he was still able to put
up massive numbers just like what we saw from him
from as a Russian quarterback, We haven't seen from
a lot of running a lot of quarterbacks in a
while and they never quite got his price right.
So hopefully the beginning next season, we'll see kind
of a similar situation unfold. I mean, through
the first five games you're absolutely right. Like he
was struggling mightily he was not worth paying for,
they wouldn't turn him loose. Yeah, what happened
, they turned him loose and this price, it
took a while to correct, it took a while
for the public to get on to what they were
getting ready to do. But if you saw some
of those early signs then you really cashed in for
about two or three weeks. I mean you're damn
right because after like week five on the switch flip
, they cut them loose. They let them loose
pierce. I mean the dude not brushing for more
than 1000 yards a season. That's insane production from
a quarterback. Yeah, Jeff, what do you
think dude? I'm gonna go to wide receiver a
player who just, you know, was perennially underpriced
most of the season. I mean you could get
him in the mid range, whereas most of the
elite wide receivers were going over sixty five hundred seven
K. Amari Cooper. I mean Cooper had six
games with 75 yards and a touchdown. A lot
of those games came with 100 yard bonus. He
had five of them. So I mean you look
at where like the, the indices and rankings are
for wide receiver, especially in PPR. He finished
eight, he finished just behind Ceedee lamb. He
finished in front of Amon ra ST brown in front
of christian Kirk. Um you know, Terry McLaurin
, I mean these are wide risk. Everybody loves
to talk about. No one loves to talk about
Amari Cooper. But I mean what a value if
you just kept on him, you know, most
weeks he could just fit him in as a wide
receiver to nobody expected the Cleveland offense to be producing
a true wide receiver one. But I mean Cooper
nine touchdowns on the season he produced with two different
quarterbacks he produced with Jacoby Brissett set. I mean
, what a great value if you just went on
him and think about Cooper again under owned, like
there was no point where people are like, oh
yeah, we gotta get Marie cooper in our lineup
even after he put up these big games. So
if you just kept using him, just kept using
the value. That was there some great weeks from
Amari Cooper, especially in larger fields. Um,
he really stuck out to me and putting up a
top 10 season in terms of fantasy production in that
offense. Really impressive. I know we talked about
like breakout candidates as well. Christian Watson was underpriced
for a large portion of the season as well after
his break. So kind of like Fields took a
while for the prices to catch up with Watson.
He's going to be a really interesting player next year
depending on who's starting at quarterback for Green Bay.
But for me, the award here goes to Mark
Cooper, who just was consistent all year, underpriced
all year. Really, really good DFS player,
most of the season.
