In the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast, Matt Harmon and Charles McDonald took a deep look at the wide receiver class and shared concerns about Travis Hunter’s transition to the NFL if he lands with the Browns with the second overall pick in this year’s draft. The worries have nothing to with Hunter’s ability, he’s a once-in-a generation talent, but Cleveland’s quarterback issues can’t be ignored.
Kenny Pickett and DeDeshaun Watson are the only two quarterbacks currently on the roster, raising red flags about the environment Hunter would be entering.
McDonald warned, “What is he (Hunter) changing about this situation that they have going on there?” Later adding, “I hope they pass, just for all of us because like that would suck so much if he ended up in Cleveland.”
From a fantasy perspective, Hunter would likely going to the Browns as a receiver first, which means he would be peppered with targets as a rookie. Who would be throwing him the ball is a totally different question. Malik Nabers was able to overcome poor QB play en route to catching 109 balls for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns last season. Could Hunter pull off something similar?

Hunter is one of Harmon’s favorite prospects in this year’s class, likening him to a prime Odell Beckham, which makes the idea of him being in an unstable situation with the Browns worrying but one where he might be able to succeed despite Cleveland’s QB conundrum.
There’s a chance the Browns try trading back into the first round to select Shedeur Sanders, reuniting the college teammates and giving Cleveland a quarterback to grow with Hunter.
Whether it’s Sanders or someone else, Hunter’s fantasy outlook would significantly improve if the Browns can figure out a reliable solution at quarterback. If the Browns can bring in a capable passer then Hunter has the potential to be a fantasy star. His skill set suggests he could see a high volume of targets, and we know how valuable that kind of workload can be in fantasy football.
However, given the uncertainty, fantasy managers might need to approach Hunter with cautious optimism. There’s a potential for high reward, but you’ll want to keep an eye on what the Browns do at QB if they do decide to take Hunter second overall before getting too excited about drafting him for your fantasy team.

The reasons behind why Lionel Messi didn’t play during India tour
Lionel Messi's recent visit to India was framed as a landmark moment for football fans, and in many respects, it lived up to the hype. Over the course of three tightly scheduled days, the Argentine legend traveled across Kolkata, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Delhi, attracting massive crowds wherever he appeared. For a country where elite football icons are rarely seen in person, Messi's presence alone was enough to spark nationwide excitement.Rodrigo De Paul did this next to Lionel MessiIn Delhi, the atmosphere was electric. Thousands filled the stadium not to watch a match, but simply to witness Messi walk onto the pitch. Fans chanted his name as he greeted supporters, signed jerseys, kicked footballs into the stands, and spent time interacting with young players.The energy intensified when he appeared alongside Inter Miami teammates Luis Suárez and Rodrigo De Paul, turning the […]

"I was like, guys, I don't think it's saying what you think it's saying."Rapinoe added that, to her, the phrase sounded as if the team already doubted its own level.

Fernando Mendoza’s Heisman comments spark subtle College Football rivalry with Diego Pavia
The Heisman Trophy ceremony may have concluded in New York, but discussion surrounding the event has only intensified, particularly for the Indiana Hoosiers football program. At the center of the conversation is quarterback Fernando Mendoza, whose measured remarks following his Heisman win have been widely interpreted as a response to Vanderbilt Commodores quarterback Diego Pavia. Fernando Mendoza becomes first Cuban-American to win the Heisman TrophyWhat began as a celebratory media moment quickly evolved into a flashpoint that added fuel to an already simmering rivalry.Mendoza, now the first Heisman Trophy winner in Indiana football history, spoke to reporters about how he and his teammates celebrated the achievement. A short video clip shared early Monday morning by The Hoosiers Review spread rapidly across social media, drawing attention not just for the accolade, but for Mendoza's phrasing: "We know how to handle ourselves […]
V úvodu MS vypadl i druhý český šipkař
Gawlas se na mistrovství světa představil podruhé, postup do druhého kola z roku 2022 ale nezopakoval. Devátý hráč žebříčku Price po suverénním úvodu prohrával ve druhém setu 0:2 na legy, stav ale otočil a poslední set ovládl opět 3:0. Třiadvacetiletý český šipkař, který momentálně nedrží profesionální kartu organizace PDC, si za porážku v prvním kole odnese 15 tisíc liber (415 tisíc korun).Mistrovství světa se letos hraje poprvé v rozšířeném formátu se 128 hráči a o rekordní prize money, které je oproti minulému ročníku dvojnásobné. Z celkové dotace pěti milionů liber (138 milionů korun) dostane vítěz pětinu (27,7 milionu korun).
