From the Wire

It's only right that the first Quick Hit is about certified Matt Guy™ Chimere Dike. Easton Freeze of A to Z Sports suggests that despite Wan'dale Robinson's presence in the slot this year, Dike will find his way into good situations and onto the stat sheet.

Watching him emerge from an explosive special teamer to an explosive everything (slot, x, everything) last year, I must say I agree with Mr. Freeze. Brian Daboll and Dike seem like a match made in heaven. And while yes, I believe Wan'dale will go off, Dike will as well.

Scott Barrett of FantasyPointsData with a great data vis slice. I'm big on Colston Loveland going into 2026, but lest we forget, big dawg Harold Fannin Jr. had similar success last year as a rookie.

ESPN reported on rookies in camp. There are a few notable reports, but of mention, Makai Lemon is noted to have spent some time with the first team, but saw mostly slot work. As we've discussed, this might not bode well with QB Jalen Hurts at the helm.

Tucker Kraft declared war against the Green Bay Department of Public Works, which bodes well for his output this year. ESPN's Mike Reiss is also reporting he may have an extension before the first game of the season.

Kyle Pitts will NOT play on the franchise tag this year, signing a three-year extension to keep him in Atlanta. I was bullish on Pitts this year, given how Kevin Stefanski's offense leans on the TE position, but this extension only increases his dynasty value. Stefanski made good TEs successful with bad QB play (look at Harold Fannin last year), and Pitts should take another step this year. Buy!

JoeA spitting the truth about Jordan Love. His efficiency profile is being propped up by Green Bay’s offensive structure, not because he is consistently carrying the offense himself. The Packers are at their best when the run game dictates terms, keeps defenses honest, and lets Love work off play action, defined reads, and favorable down-and-distance situations. When he is forced into true high-volume dropback mode, the cracks show: inconsistent accuracy, spotty middle-of-the-field anticipation, too many late or risky throws, and a deep ball that does not punish defenses enough to scare them out of aggressive looks. Love can be productive in the right ecosystem, but asking him to be the engine of a pass-first offense is a very different bet than letting him operate as the beneficiary of one of the league’s better-designed run-first attacks.
