I took Dak in the 3rd round of a 16-man league. People were saying it was too early, but then Rodgers went ~10 picks later. People were also saying the 2nd round was too early to take Zeke... but look how that might turn out. I have faith in my 'Boys.

He also has Tyrod Taylor on his like list.

Along with T. Pryor and R. Kelley, of coarse because he is a Commanders fan.

Pretty clear these guys just give opinions without in depth research.
Sorry, but without more context, I'm missing what's wrong with this quote. Dak was 3rd among QBs in fantasy points from rushing. Around 20% of his fantasy value came from rushing, ranking him 4th in the league behind Tayler, Kaepernick and Newton. Much of his fantasy scoring did come as rushing.

Terrell Pryor worries me. He is 6-5, 240 and ran a 4.38 forty. He had 77 catches last season with the Browns.

Those 77 receptions ranked Pryor 27th in the league. He was targeted 140 times, which ranked 12th most in the league. I'm sure if Terrance Williams was targeted that many times he would also have 77 or more receptions. Pryor is a weapon, but he is not some unstoppable receiver.

Dak is like Troy Aikman in the Fantasy world. You took him too early and were crazy to take him in front of Rodgers!

Consider the accuracy of Browns QBs...

It was his first legit season as a WR (He only played in 3 games in 2015) and was trying to play QB before that.

Rogers going 10 picks later is absolute proof you took him early. Rogers going that late also indicates QBs aren't very valuable in your league.

Only a select few will know what I'm speaking of.

Mathew Berry begged Will Murray(yes Will,again only some know him) to not make public embarrassing news about his fantasy team's performance in their league.

Seems like a pretty ok guy and he knows about as much as our average members here or less.

Matthew Berry like all you fantasy football folks are mainly and in some cases like Berry, solely stats guys. Stats don't tell the whole story folks.

Not taking it super seriously, bro. I wanted Dak so I went and got him!
