Matt Waldman’s RSP Cast continues the preseason watchlist conversation with the players and situations that Matt is most interested in monitoring during training camp.
This week, we’re continuing the preseason watchlist conversation with the players and situations that I’m most interested in monitoring during training camp.
Players and scenarios I discuss include:
- Can Marquise Brown and/or Rondale Moore replace the qualities of DeAndre Hopkins’ game that made Hopkins a receiving juggernaut?
- Do the Ravens see Lamar Jackson for what he really is or are they itching to make him what he isn’t?
- Depending on the answer to the previous question, Devin Duvernay could become a significant offensive factor.
- Who will be the third option in the Bears’ receiving corps? Depending on the answer, that option could wind up the second-most productive player or an afterthought.
- Green Bay’s passing game has a vacuum to fill and there are a lot of potential outcomes that are reasonable to project this year. That said, the potential for a receiver to assume Davante Adams’ production is likely limited to one candidate or bust. There is also potential to see the reemergence of a Randall Cobb role, but not with the guy named Randall Cobb.
- The Travis Etienne hype could develop into something real, but the language of the report reveals a lack of substance at this point. I explain why.
- Is there the potential for a hidden gem in the Raiders offense?
- Why there’s potential that any Pierre Strong buzz in June is putting the cart before the horse.
- Tampa Bay’s running back stable. How stable is it? Who could sneak his way into more touches?
Of course, it is easy to monitor news about players in training camps. Discerning what is actionable information from that news is a different matter entirely. This is something I’m covering in the 2022 RSP Pre-Draft/Post-Draft Service’s June newsletter: A 10-point primer on putting training camp news in perspective—especially with regard to rookies, second-year players, and low-cost vets and journeymen.
