DK Metcalf and DeVonta Smith continue to post really strong WR2 production in fantasy football. But is there a ceiling to finish as a top-12 wideout? Both players are entering the 2024 season with brand new schemes and plenty of competition for targets. And both wideouts have clearly demonstrated the ability to make plays deep down the field. So which player should you select in fantasy drafts in 2024?

Should You Draft DeVonta Smith or DK Metcalf in 2024

Welcome to Sleepers, Busts and Bold Predictions for the 2024 fantasy football season. Our Chris Meaney and Daniel Kelley are going to go team-by-team around the league all summer. They’ll pick sleepers, busts and bold predictions for each team. Sometimes they’ll agree! Sometimes they will go completely opposite one another! And that’s fine, because they’ll defend their positions, and you can decide for yourself who to side with. Up today: The Los Angeles Rams.

Colts DC Gus Bradley spoke about how CB JuJu Brents missing time in last year’s offseason program had an impact on his rookie year. “That part is challenging,” said Gus Bradley, via Coltswire. “There’s still a little bit where we’re looking at him, and you can see that he’s had some experienced play, and now when you’re going through this phase of it, you’re looking back at it, and you’re saying, ‘boy, let’s start over with him here, and let’s get him back to the fundamentals and the basics.”

The new rookie class around the NFL gets all the attention over the summer. They’re the flashy new pieces for fantasy football, and of course they can be anything. But last year’s rookies aren’t fully formed yet. The players entering their second season aren’t the fancy new thing anymore. That can open up some value in fantasy drafts for players still due to break out, and it can lead to fantasy mistakes for players who had a good first season that turn out to be a mirage. Everyone knows Year 1 to Year 2 is one of the biggest jumps an NFL player can make, but this still happens.

Smaks, not to be confused with Smaxx in downtown Kansas City, first opened on Johnson Drive in Kansas in 1956. Smaks was known for its hamburgers, shakes, and hand-dipped onion rings. Through four decades, the hamburger chain spread into seven states.

The Sixers are the early winners of free agency, and I don’t think it’s particularly close. It will take some unexpected moves for another club to top what they’ve done. In the wee hours of the morning, Adrian Wojnarowski confirmed that Philadelphia was indeed signing Paul George to a 4-year $212 million deal.

Jacksonville Today

This week, City Council is set to begin discussing the proposed deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars to renovate EverBank Stadium. At its center is the agreement for a $1.4 billion stadium overhaul, the cost of which would be split 50-50 with the Jags after the city also covers $150 million in overdue maintenance and repair work. The city has said it plans to pay for its $625 million construction portion, for the most part, by redirecting revenue from a half-penny sales tax, passed as “the Better Jacksonville Plan.” But it’s not a straight line from the tax revenue pot to getting cranes in the air — the plan depends on budget changes to avoid debt on other projects, and using money that would have gone toward paying down that debt on the stadium reno.

Ravens rookie wide receiver Devontez Walker has circled two dates on the season schedule. Baltimore travels to the Cincinnati Bengals on October 6. The reverse fixture is a nationally televised Sunday night affair on November 7. Walker will be especially amped for both games as he feels the Bengals snubbed him.

Joseph Ossai‘s first three years in the league have been defined by injuries. The former third-round pick is now fully healthy, and that couldn’t come at a better time for the impending free agent. While the Bengals defensive lineman’s expiring contract is naturally on his mind, Ossai is more focused on avoiding injuries ahead of the regular season.
