#4 Smooth
Manager: Smooth
MVP: Michael Thomas
Best Add: Dalvin Cook
Breakout: Calvin Ridley
Smooth had an impressive streak of improving his ranking every single year up until now. In 2020, Smooth ranks perfectly in the middle of the league.
While I am sure he will regress, I would still bet on Lamar ending as a top 3/4 quarterback this season. Jimmy G is nothing special.
Cook struggled down the line last season, but should be a top 8 back. Mixon will be solid, but has a ceiling in that horrific Bengals O-Line.
Smooth’s wide out situation is pretty dangerous. Thomas is the best ifantasy wide out in the league, period. I think Woods and Ridley should have successful seasons in their respective offenses. LA and Atlanta are passing offenses who both lost high volume receivers- Cooks and Hooper. That’s going to be a tough decision deciding on who to start each week.
Smooth is in the middle of the pack when it comes to tight end. I’d put Ertz in the #3-5 category. Irv Smith is seen as an intriguing sleeper this season, but I’m not sure I’m buying it. Minnesota is a run-heavy offense that rarely throws to the tight end. Plus, Kyle Rudolph is still there. This ones risky.
Lutz is a stud. I would comfortably rank him directly behind Tucker and Butker.
Smooth’s defense is solid. Smith and Jones could provide dividends if they played like they did 2 years ago, but both dipped in production last year. Brown and Baker should rack up tackles quickly. Nicky Polish has high upside on the Radiers.
Overall, Smooth has a pretty well-rounded team with a couple of superstars. This is a roster that will compete for a championship for sure. I think Smooth’s biggest issue is that none of his positions blow his peers out of the water. Good luck.
