Don’t be sad that the fantasy football season is over; be glad it happened in the first place. However, if you are among the many football enthusiasts who play dynasty-format fantasy football, you know the season never truly ends. So while we might be staring down the barrel of the NFL offseason, there’s plenty to be done as a dynasty manager. Between now and the beginning of training camp is when champions are made. This week, Jon and myself talk about the Elijah Moore and his fantasy value with the trade to Cleveland, DeAndre Hopkins, Miles Sanders and more.

NFL News and Notes

Elijah Moore Fantasy Outlook

In the latest news and notes from the NFL, the Cleveland Browns have acquired Elijah Moore from the New York Jets. In exchange for Moore, the Jets received the 42nd overall pick, while the Browns also received the 74th overall pick. This trade shows the Browns’ commitment to having three receivers on the field at all times to maximize the potential of their quarterback, Deshaun Watson.

Mecole Hardman

Meanwhile, the New York Jets have signed Mecole Hardman to a one-year deal worth up to $6.5 million. Hardman will add speed and versatility to the Jets’ offense, but will he be more of a role player in a stacked New York Jets WR room?

DeAndre Hopkins in Blue and Red

There are rumors swirling that DeAndre Hopkins may be headed to the New England Patriots, but many are skeptical that Bill Belichick would be willing to give up a haul for an aging veteran pass catcher. With the recent signing of Gesicki and other talented receivers on the roster, it remains to be seen if the Patriots will make a move for Hopkins. The Patriots have a lot of work to do if they want to contend next season, and it will be interesting to see how their offseason plays out.

The Miles and Adam Show

In other news, the inconsistency of Miles Sanders over his career has raised questions about the Panthers’ running game and the viability of Adam Thielen as he enters his mid-thirties. While Sanders has shown flashes of brilliance as one of the most dynamic running backs in the league over the past two seasons, his inconsistency has been a concern. Nevertheless, his addition to the Panthers could potentially make them a force to be reckoned with. Meanwhile, Thielen’s reliability as a target over the course of his career is noteworthy, but his age remains a concern.

Njigba to the MOOOON

Finally, Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s impressive pro day has scouts buzzing as the NFL draft approaches. Smith-Njigba is a highly-touted wide receiver out of Ohio State, and his performance at the pro day has many experts projecting him as a first-round pick. The draft is always full of surprises, but he is one player to keep an eye on as teams look to build their rosters for the upcoming season.
