Fantasy Football preseason takeaways: New England rookie wideouts

check it out but now the news Dwayne as you mentioned we did have football last night Patriots and Eagles you know the final scores like the points in Who's Line anyway it does not matter but the usage it does matter and a little bit troubling for one Jaylen pulk yeah P's still running with the second team but when I look at the starters Ian and I read KJ Osborne right we've got Demario Douglas played in the slot but the other starting outside wide receiver is none other than Jaylen rer man it's just only a matter of time the Patriots can't start those guys all year I mean if they do they might not win a single game so it's it's not ideal we would rather see you know pul out there with the starters in this game but look I just don't think there's a way they can keep pulk off the field I I don't think honestly there's a way they can keep Javon Baker off the field I thought Javon Baker was the best wide receiver on the team last night I know he had a couple of drops but he's doing the thing that really nobody else on the Patriots can do which is really challenge the vertical area of the field he can make those big plays you're not always going to come up with all of them Drake May threw an absolute seed it was very close to a big game you know for uh you know the rookie wide receiver but when I look at Baker I feel like he's the guy that could really be the straw that stir the drink as far as if the if the Patriots want to generate any sort of explosive passing plays so it could be rough out of the gate um you know for all of these guys you know if it's going to be some sort of a rotation I just feel like at some point though they've got to go with the young guys we've seen these veterans before we know what jayen rger is I mean we know what KJ Osborne is also interesting that seemingly every good vibe out of Patriots Camp has been in favor of pulk and also Baker out there so haven't quite seen that usage be matching what we've seen you know again or hearing out of Pat's camp but that said Dwayne I mean Jus smer did start the first Patriots preseason game and then got cut literally the next morning so not exactly expecting pul to be on the outside looking him once the season starts but for now man especially once to get Kendrick Bourne out there healthy KJ Osborne could be at least an early thorn in the side of perspective pul manager so I don't know about you Dwayne personally not really adjusting the ranks too much over any of the Patriots moves also did have aandre Stevenson playing 10 snaps with the starters five for Antonio Gibson so pretty much what we got what we expected to get I should say as long as this wide receiver usage again starts to figure itself out a little bit more so any major wrecking adjustments on your end after seeing last night no I made a couple tweaks this morning I didn't move any of the Patriots uh I'm still going to wait it's it's just like I said I just don't see a way where the young guys aren't really who ends up on the field and where they're going right now in drafts like Javon Baker's going to be undrafted for you guys he'll just be a name you're watching off the waiver wire and Jaylen p goes late in your draft so just no real reason to move them they're still the bets I would make on the Patriots but Ian I will say this like the the the uh the utilization is going to probably be good for raand Dre we know Antonio Gibson's going to get his work but I am starting to move towards the idea of I just don't want to draft any patriots man like I just I I don't I don't think you're GNA lose your league I'll put it that way by missing out on any of these players in including I I just don't want the Patriots I'm just going to say it I'm not drafting Patriots I'm done I'm putting my steak on the ground right now if I do draft one it would only be jayen pul with my last pick you hear that everyone Dwayne is absolutely done with the only NFL team that has a win total at just 4.5 so I hear you I'm still keeping a candle lit for Antonio Gibson because he literally goes outside at this point the top 160 picks and if something happens to Stevenson make no doubt about it we would see Gibson on the cover of every waer wire article in the injury regardless of we got burned by my man's in past fantasy years or not but I hear you fully there Dwayne because again
