I know, I think I thought. 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:45.520 The same thing. I've been thinking the same deal exactly. 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:47.479 Doub what you're thinking right there.

How are you. 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:21.680 I'm doing great? Thanks much for having me on. I 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:22.720 hope you're having a great summer. 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.399 Well, the summer has been fantastic, and now it'sammed up 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.640 a little bit because we do have football back. I'm 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:29.840 curious did you have a chance to eyeball any of 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.600 the Colts and Patriots last night? Just out of curiosity? 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:35.680 Hey, we called that the Will Mallory Show, right, Yeah, 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:39.399 I did stuff last night from Will obviously, And yeah, 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.400 a game that won't be remembered at like the Pro 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.560 Football Hall of Fame. If I had to guess, not 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:49.280 too many ties they go down as memorable. But yeah, 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.000 I did have a chance to catch some of it. 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.240 Saw some of Anthony richardson Will Mallory has mentioned, and 0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:55.600 then a lot of missfield. 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:55.720 Goals as well. 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.600 Yeah, especially you kind of wonder if maybe one of 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.480 these these kickers from the Colts that gets cut ends 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.640 up in Foxboro with Mike Frado England. Yeah, any kind 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.160 of murder with a group of or straighter or whatever. Hey, 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.800 what were your thoughts? And we've been around this for 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.480 so long now it almost wears us down a little bit. 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.200 So we need a little bit of inside perspective, if 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.000 you don't mind outside perspective, if you don't mind right here, 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:22.399 what are your thoughts on Richardson in terms of what 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.920 the Colts should do with him this season? 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:26.280 Yeah? 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:30.040 I think the weird line that the Folts are having 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:34.079 to straddle right now is that, you know, quarterbacks do 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.120 have value if they're on your roster. Depths can certainly 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:38.800 be tested. And we give a quarterback coming off of 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.680 a torn achilles, even one that's rehabbing as remarkably well 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.440 as Daniel Jones, It's like you still have to be 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.480 mindful of the pieces behind him. And you have your 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.960 backup in Raley Leonard, but another player is only going 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:54.600 into a second NFL season that you just don't want 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.320 to give Anthony Richardson away. 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.240 But that you're getting. So if you're not getting any. 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.320 Offers that are of consequence, the question is is it 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.839 more valuable to have a third string quarterback most likely 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.800 maybe a back up, our third string quarterback who might 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:13.480 not play at all, or you know, a Day three selection, 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.120 which you know, Day three pitchs have certainly become lots 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.720 of things in the NFL, but they're far from a guarantee. 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.160 And I do think there's a bit of a pride 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:21.079 factor involved here. 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.680 You know, I understand the Chris Ballard and the Colts 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.960 organization has moved on in many ways from Anthony Richardson. 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.160 They signed Daniel Jones last year, they reinvested in Daniel Jones. 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.560 I get that. At the same time, this was. 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.320 The front office that took him fourth overall a few 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:39.400 years ago, during a draft in which not everybody thought 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.200 that Anthony Richardson would go that high. Some thought it 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.600 could have been We'll Levice as an example, who would 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:48.640 go fourth overall, or other players that were not quarterbacks 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.160 could have gone fourth overall. So I think it's kind 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.240 of a tricky spot here for the Colts said, if 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.040 they get an offer that's too good to refuse, do 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:56.400 it until that point. 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.960 As awkward as it may be, you do need the 0:03:59.080 --> 0:03:59.800 quarterback death. 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:00.520 It's a field. 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:04.840 Yates of ESPN ESPN dot Com fantasy football analyst, football 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:06.960 analysts in general, it's kind of not to join us 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.920 on the Andy Moore Automotive Group potline. This is the 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:14.520 ride with JMV downtown at Vivot Balcony and bar more 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:15.640 on that in just a second. 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.360 But Field, I'm curious. 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.880 I went over this in the pregame show last night 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.080 with analysts Rick Venturi, and he brought this up and 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.159 obviously there's no relatable here. That's not something that at 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.280 least we understand or know that Shane sdeykeen has been 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:33.240 thinking about doing. But would you try to concoct some 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:37.160 really kind of offensively odd ideas, I e. 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:38.080 Taysom Hill. 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.680 If Anthony Richardson is a part of this team moving 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.600 forward this year, would you try some different things offensively 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:46.240 with him? Yeah? 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.320 I think with Anthony, like again, yeah, we're way past 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.720 the point of having drafted and fourth overall, get it sober. 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:52.919 And done with. 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.839 That's that's three years ago or four years ago. Now. 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.520 It's some costs of a draft investment. 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:03.080 But we've reached the point where you don't have to 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.560 focus exclusively on the stuff you can't do right, like 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.600 not the most accurate pastor obviously not a timing in 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.320 rhythm thrower, obviously, but let's see what we can do 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.279 tap into some of the unique abilities. I mean, he 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.800 is on the short list at least the greatest quarterback 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.560 athletes we've ever seen, right, I mean that's based off. 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.120 To Tom by Dusty. He has put himself into that. 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.479 Zip code and maybe you can find ways. 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:25.599 To tap into that. You know, he had. 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.200 The shortyardist run last night. I still believe that anthy 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:31.480 could be amongst the best goal line rushers in the league. 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.080 And you know, Jonathan Taylor is all that and more 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.440 as well. So maybe in a different circumstance, you wouldn't 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.560 need to tap into Anthony Richardson, or you would need 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.480 to tap in Anthony Richardson. So perhaps the coach a 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.960 little more hesitant there. But if he's on the roster, 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.000 you might as well do yourself service and see what 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.000 utilities can get out of him. Even if it's not much, 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.000 it's better than him simply watching every single game from 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:55.400 the bench. 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:55.880 Field. 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.560 Jays joined us so Daniel Jones on the rebound from 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:03.080 that injury, and we'll start right here. Does it surprise 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.640 you that he's making at least from what we've told, 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.000 been told, and what we have seen so much progress, 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.240 and then how would you factor in what to expect 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.280 considering how good he was up until the point a 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.479 year ago when he was compromised and done due to injury. 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:22.080 Yeah, Daniel, what a remarkable rehabit process so far. You know, 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.840 he certainly seems like he is more than ahead of 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.320 a typical schedule. He's way ahead of a typical schedule. 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:33.080 I think Daniel was in some ways reflective of how 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.440 I think this Colts team. It's a bit of a 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.760 pendulum team in twenty twenty six, So, I mean, my 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:39.760 dad is there sort of two. 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:40.080 Sides to it. 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.520 The good version of Daniel Jones, the Rabits career has 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.360 some really good I mean he's put He took a 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.440 Giants team to the playoffs the Outdold with her cousins. 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.080 In that game they beat the Vikings. 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.480 This was a few years ago, of course, and then 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:55.560 last year he was playing like a playoff quarterback for 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:57.720 much of the first half of the season and then 0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:59.680 he got it wasn't quite as perfect in the game's 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:00.360 leading up to him. 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.000 Still, he just played a really good ball, good enough 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.120 to help you win a lot of meaningful games. 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:08.200 So, but the Colts have several players that like the 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.600 best version of them can be really good that the 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.760 worst version can become be a problem. And this team, 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.000 it's not a house of cars, not the right term. 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:16.800 But I could see this team competing for the. 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.360 Playoffs once again. I could also see this team finishing 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.600 third of this division. Right, that would be not surprising 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.360 any of us because it happened last year. So it's 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:24.960 a big year. 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:30.080 It's a pressure cooker, perhaps every sad at any time 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.200 a team makes an announcement at the end of the 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.240 season to say that they are keeping the head coach 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.880 in the GM, it means the year ahead is a 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:41.160 pressure year, right, So, Daniel Jones, in this entire Colts franchise, 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.640 I do believe based some pressure this year, just giving 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.000 all the circumstances of what took place last year and 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:47.559 over the past six or seven years. 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.160 And I know field you at ESPN, when you compile 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.440 all these fantasy football numbers as well, you kind of 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:56.640 view as what you saw last time he was on 0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:00.760 the field, But also you compile that with what has 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:05.040 been historically his past or what has been the connection 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.200 to it. Would you expect him to have a season 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.760 this year if healthy as he had until he was 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.640 injured a year ago, or would there seem to be 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.280 a bit of a decline. How would you view him 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.400 through I guess the lens in this case of fantasy 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:21.600 football numbers. 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.960 Yeah, the fantasy football outlook is this is Daniel Jones 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:27.640 obviously has a lot of upside. He was really good 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:29.800 last year, especially in the first half of the season. 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.120 The question mark on Daniel is when you're coming back 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.200 from an achilles hair. A big part of Daniels fantasy 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.679 values tied to his legs and is the team going 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.120 to be judicious with Daniel Jones given the fact coming 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.160 off of one of the most significant injuries that we 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:47.760 see relatively frequently around the NFL. So Daniel Jones can 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:51.560 certainly be a very very solid fantasy football quarterback. Is 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.520 Quebec seventeen for me in my rankings because I am 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.480 accounting for the possibility of him not being as lethal 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.000 as a runner as he was at the time last year. 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.120 I think that would be rooted by the Colts. It 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:06.200 would not be a merit of Daniel Jones in real football. 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.680 It would just be a reality of a guy it's 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:12.200 closely removed with December seventh. I believe it was when 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.599 he popped his achilles and this old season kind of 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:15.600 went by the wayside from. 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.760 There, field, Jonathan Taylor got that two year extension. What's 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:22.319 your fantasy football expertise tell you about the culture running 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:23.440 back going into this year? 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.200 Yeah, forth rank running back for me, Jonathan Taylor. I 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.079 believe it's the betting favorite to lead the NFL in 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:30.840 rushing yards the season. 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:33.600 Is just a remarkable, remarkable talent. 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:39.440 If we don't see as much of Daniel Jones running, 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.480 It's good things for Jonathan Taylor's fantasy value because it 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.840 means more opportunities for Jonathan Taylor right specifically at the 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.199 goal line, where he's already going to be led the 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.600 NFL and Russian touchdowns last season, A good bet to 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:57.160 do that any year, but the possibility of getting twenty 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:01.280 rushing touchdowns, it's greater for Jonathan Taylor then probably any 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:05.319 running back in the NFL, maybe alongside. 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:06.280 Derrick Henry or somebody like that. 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.880 So my fourth right funning back, I'd be surprised if 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.360 he went much lower than seventh or eighth overall in 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:17.040 most fantasy football drafts and guy that you know, remember 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.480 there is agony over whether to extend him the first 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.640 time around, and here we are and he has already 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.760 been extended once again. So he's just been a hallmark 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.120 player for the Colts since being drafted. 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.559 Field Yates ESPN joins us we have seen a rebirth 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:34.240 of sorts of value at the running back position, and 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.280 now it's more reflective as it always has been in 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.760 terms of the world of fantasy football. But in the 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:45.880 actual NFL world, Why have we seen that positional rejuvenation 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:46.680 here recently? 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.320 Yeah, I think it's probably a couple of factors. Is one, 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.360 you know, the numbers robbinsly going to go up because 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:55.160 the salary cap is going up. The larger the salary cap, 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.720 the larger the salary. I also think we're in just 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:02.280 this really unique period with some great, great players at 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:06.000 running back right John Robinson, Jamier Gibbs, Jonathan Taylor, three 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:09.760 guys who not only are you know, can be particular 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:14.120 powers right now, but also guys who like the prime 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:17.520 may not be reached yet for them. Jonathan's a little 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.680 bit older than those two guys, so maybe Jonathan is 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.360 in the prime of his career. But it's it's kind 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.160 of a timing thing right now. So we've got some 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.280 really good backs and you know, we may have another 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:27.520 one as a rookie. 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:28.720 And Jeremiah Love. 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:32.280 Made his pre season debut last night. You know, I 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.640 think also teams are starting to realize a little bit 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:38.480 of Yet it's this is what history has told us 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:43.120 we aren't supposed to do. But some of the best 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:47.000 movers and most successful stories in the NFL have been 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:50.160 the people that have been ahead of curves. And I'm 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.640 not saying that paying running back top of the market 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:56.440 is definitely ahead of the curve, but it could be. Hey, 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.480 people are telling us to zig, and that's when we zag. 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.800 So team are saying, I'll pay a great running back 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:03.679 and I'll find some value elsewhere. 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.720 So things tend to be cyclical in the NFL. 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.000 Perhaps is the start of a new cycle running backs 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:09.719 are appreciated. 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:13.000 This is field Yates, a VESPN talking NFL and NFL 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.880 Fantasy football as well. He joins us via the Andy 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.160 Moore Automotive Group hootline. This is the ride with JMV 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:23.120 downtown across from Cambridge Fieldhouse. Fever coming up later off tonight. 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.400 We'll get into that in just a second too. So 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.400 Alec Pierce, new big deal wide receiver coming back from 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.959 a surgery, and Tyler Warren you're number two at tied end. 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.320 What is the fantasy value and your thoughts on the 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.359 type of season you expect from both of those Colt players. 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.800 Yeah, Alex a really interesting one because the contract that 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:44.920 he signed with the Colts this offseason was what most 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.679 free agent contracts are at their core, which is a 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.800 bet on what the player is going to become. But 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.600 to be clear, I mean, alex sample size and body 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:58.400 of work is lesser than most receivers that are getting 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:02.400 paid around where he ranks in average per your pay right. 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:04.240 I mean people have had some figures talk when they 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.160 saw that number. Up to this point in fantasy, he 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.400 hasn't been a top forty player at the position of 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:11.800 wide receiver, but he gets there this year. Absolutely he 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:15.239 could if he's healthy, but there's some question mark surrounding 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.640 his health. And then also the way in which Alec 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.280 has been used. He's been more of a downfield vertical threat, 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.600 which in fantasy the best version of that is like 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:26.839 a Mike Evans type player, but also requires excellent efficiency. 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:30.040 We'll see whether Alex brings us to the table. No complaints, 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.640 no worries whatsoever about Tyler Warren. He's going to be 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:37.520 incredibly busy. He's an excellent, excellent tight end and given 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.800 all the injuries at pass catcher right now for the Colts, 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.640 shouldn't surprise anybody if he challenges for one hundred and 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:44.000 thirty or so targets this year. 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.080 You know when we should factor this in the question 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.480 I asked a little bit earlier about Anthony Richardson's senior field, 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:53.040 about gadgetry offensively with Shane Steiken, that may all be 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.439 used up by Tyler Warren at this point. 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:59.600 Yeah, a lefty quarterback for Mechanicsville, Pennsylvania. He's got some 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.720 serious game to him. Yeah, I think that's totally far. 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.040 You know, Tyler is such a unique player. I think 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.320 that's the pensyl bing. I believe it's Virginia. Is Tyler's 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:10.040 from state. I apologize for that, but yeah, that's totally fair. 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.040 Is that like he's gonna see some rushes this year, 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:13.640 perhaps some stuff at the bottom, you know, at the 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:17.120 goal line. So Tayler is such a talented player, the 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.000 kind of guy that you could really build. You know, 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:23.800 a significant portion of your passing game around. He's a special, special. 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.600 Player ESPN's field Yes, joins us. 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.640 Give us some Fantasy Football twenty twenty six risers in 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:29.280 your opinion? 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:32.120 Who risers? Well, we talked to you. 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:33.440 Alex Pearson is the kind of guy that has a 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.640 chance to become a riser. But some of the players 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.560 I like this year a Mecca Abuca from the Buccaneers 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.560 stepping into a clear cut wide receiver one role for them, 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.840 Polston Loveland from Chicago Bears. He and Tyler Warren kind 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.040 of vying to be the next tight end to crack 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.840 that All Pro ranking. It's you know, bruck Hoers and 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.440 Tyler and Trade McBride have kind of a grip on 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.280 that our have over the past couple of seasons, with 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.760 George Kittle mixed in there as well. And then Justin 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:00.480 Herbert's the guy that I think is due for a 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.960 big bump. You know, Justin plays in the system run 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:07.840 by Mike McDaniel, and Mike McDaniel was able to. 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.720 Make to a tongue by Loa the NFL's leading passer. 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.160 I think Justin Herbert's more talented player than two and 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.160 I'm excited about what it's going to look like once 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.080 we get to the regular season. 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.640 For the Chargers those on the decline out there, a 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.960 couple of highlights for people, maybe the side stiff if possible. 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.040 You know, a guy like DK metcalf is one that 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:27.720 gives me a lot of you know pause, He's just 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:31.760 you know with Dk, he's so talented, but he relies 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.120 on efficiency down the field. 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:34.960 And his quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.400 Had one of the shortest average depth of targets amongst 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:38.560 starting qbs last year. 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.200 Aaron just wants to kind of dec and dunk his. 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.560 Way down the field as opposed to threaten you really 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:44.400 far down the field. 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.800 Draft strategy for folks out there this particular year, I 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.320 don't know if it changes. It always seems like it's 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.320 the same for me. But does it change for you? 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.680 And should it change for those out there participating? 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:56.800 Well, what I would tell you, Let me give you 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.240 just two simple rules that will apply until the end 0:15:59.280 --> 0:15:59.680 of time. 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:03.160 Most likely. One is you've got to play the draft room. 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:06.280 It's not different than the NFL draft in that regard, right, 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.720 unless you're thinking first overall, you don't really know exactly 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:11.880 what's going to happen. 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:14.080 So play the draft room right. 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:18.200 The second rule of fount It's just it's really you're 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:21.080 gonna reach a pointer in the season for running backs 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.880 just aren't gonna be in stock, and so get them. 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:25.160 When you can. 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.160 They're trying to break a tie between two players that 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.400 you're closely ranked. One are running back on wide receiver 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:31.680 wrab the running. 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.400 Back they field and closing. And I'm going to ask 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.200 you something early odd. It's about defense, and it pertains 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.760 to the Colts the value of a defense like the 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.400 culture built right now until further notice, where. 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:43.480 They're back end heavy, meaning they. 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:47.080 Rely on Sauce Gardner on Sharvarius Ward on Cam Bonham 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.600 as their playmakers in the secondary and not so much 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:55.560 a belief in a lot of frequency getting after the quarterback. 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.320 Can that be more or less of that? How do 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.600 you view that in terms of the world defense? Because 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:04.399 you got playmaking ability and you got talented players on 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:08.439 the secondary. But is that something you sidestep considering what 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:11.720 we don't know about Layatu Latu and Ardent Key coming 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:13.120 off the edge. 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:15.480 Yeah, what I would say is that for fantasy, if 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.119 I'm going to draft the defense, it's going to be 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:18.920 the one that's more likely to pile up a ton 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:23.200 of sacks, turnovers and touchdowns. Score off of turnovers are 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:26.920 impossible to predict, so I tend to lean towards the defenses, 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:29.280 like maybe the Denver Broncos the Houston Texans are going 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:29.720 to pile. 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.320 Up nine thousand facs during the season. 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:33.680 Makes a lot of sense right there, Field Yates, When 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:35.200 can we catch you again? I think you're all over 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.480 the TV every time I'm talking of the afternoon. You're 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.840 like looking right across from me on the television monitor 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:43.000 when you guys go fourth hurts today. 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.640 And then Monday morning, Monday few Friday. It's an am 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.040 Eastern time fantasy focused. So we have a lot of 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:48.440 fun there. 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:50.680 Field, It's always great to talk with you, man. Thanks 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:52.639 for dropping and we'll do it again here in Indianapolis 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:54.480 if you want you over the course of the season. Two, pal, 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:56.520 that sounds great. Thank you so much. 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:58.640 You got a Field h right there. The Andy Moore 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:00.480 Automotive Group potline, good stuff. 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:02.400 We're going to the Colts and the Patriots. Last night 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:07.040 some of the more interesting players noted players of the 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:11.000 Colts and how that also could pertain to your fantasy 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.440 football draft. You got a little bit of everything right there. 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:20.000
