00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: So there's a lot going on today, and that's what

105
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,559
Speaker 1: I've always loved about Fantasy Football Weekly is it's kind

106
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: of it's frenetic and its pace because there's typically a

107
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,239
Speaker 1: ton of things to get into. Now, with that said,

108
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: this is year August four. A lot of things going on,

109
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: but none of them include uh, hardcore regular season matchups

110
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: and things. Um, but I do want to start off

111
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: with this and uh again in putting it on a

112
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: t fashion, I want you guys to to break this

113
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: down for me. Uh. The cool thing about the NFL

114
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: every year is whether it's through free agency, it's guys

115
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: that were hurt that are coming back healthy. I mean

116
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: there are a lot of big names that if either

117
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: they're wearing a different jersey or they were hurt and

118
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: now healthy healthy and now hurt. Um offseason moves by

119
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: various positions, and uh, why don't we do this I'll

120
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: start in the NFC. Well, let's go a f C.

121
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: I'll go I'll go clockwise for the first segment, we'll

122
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: start with Matt Uh. Matt offseason moves in the a

123
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,559
Speaker 1: f C. Positionally, UH, just what's fresh in the NFL

124
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: as we look ahead of the season. So we'll go

125
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: over the quarterback position first because that's usually how it

126
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: goes when you look at your fantasy lineup. H A. J.

127
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: McCarron is the new quarterback in Buffalo. He came from

128
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: since he's got a good chance of starting this year

129
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: as the UH as the initial starter in Buffalo over

130
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. We'll we'll talk about that a little bit

131
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: more in the show. I love how we kick off

132
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: the season with a J. McCarron. Yeah, that's how we

133
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: do it. We just talk a J. Mccairn the end.

134
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: Let us never speak of a J. Maybe we'll end

135
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: the season with a J. McCarron. The last answer in

136
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: Lightning Round will be a J. McCarron in Week sixteen

137
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: for the win in your championship, Tyrod Taylor, he went

138
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: from a J. McCarron's Buffalo to Cleveland. Tyrod Taylor has

139
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: an RV on site at Cleveland Brown's training camp. That's

140
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks only, just to teach Baker Mayfield the ropes of

141
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: the NFL. He brought an r V and so at

142
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: the QB clubhouse they're calling is there an eventual lame

143
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: duck situation for him with Baker in the fold? Absolute lee,

144
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: but Tyrod is going to be a requisite pro and

145
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: teach Baker how to be a professional quarterback as well.

146
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: And he's lamenting that Joe Flacco did not do the

147
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: same for him in Baltimore when he was a bitterness Yeah,

148
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: a little bit all that or the either just cooking

149
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: meth in that exactly. Case Keenum, he's the new quarterback

150
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: in Denver. Some might recognize his name came from Minnesota. Obviously,

151
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: he's Denver's best quarterback since Peyton Manning, probably better than

152
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: last year of Peyton Manning's career. I'm excited about to

153
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: see what Case Keenum does bring bring to Marius Thomas

154
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: back to relevance hopefully. So when you when you guys

155
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: do hardcore breakdowns, then you'll break down Case Keenum at

156
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: US Bank Stadium versus Case Keenum outdoors, right, because that

157
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: feels like there's there's something there that could potentially be

158
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: drawn out. Well, your home games are in Denver, so

159
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: that ball flies further right little the thin air right

160
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: over them mountains over there. The last quarterback that moved

161
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: teams into the a f C as Teddy Bridgewater, also

162
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: coming from Minnesota. He's looking at Josh McCown and Sam

163
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: Donald on that uh depth chart. We're gonna talk a

164
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: little bit about some of the training camp battles, so

165
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: I'll get into this a little bit later. But Bridgewater

166
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: has already been the subject of many trade rumors in

167
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: New York. Be good for him if he did move. Brian,

168
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: you got some quarterbacks over there for the NFC. Yeah,

169
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 1: I guy some people in the local fan base might

170
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: have heard of. I think his name is Kirk Cousins. Uh.

171
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: Above average at best, very nice. Uh. He's been well

172
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: above average when it comes to fantasy of the last

173
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: three years. Has finished quarterback four five nine over the

174
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: last three years. Um, but we need the post of

175
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: those same numbers in Minnesota. Washington scored there passing or

176
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: touchdowns view of the air over the last three years.

177
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: Minnesota only much better defense in Minnesota. Obviously, I just

178
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: want know if Cousins is gonna be great, don't get

179
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: me wrong, but I don't know if the fantasy numbers

180
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: are gonna be there even with all the weapons he has,

181
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: but still probably solid QB one this season. Uh. The

182
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: guy who's replacing Cousins in Washington, Alex Smith, went from

183
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: one uh offensive teammate team name to a more offensive

184
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: in Washington. Uh Nearly seven percent of Washington's touchdowns came

185
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: via the past last year, UH, and they were top

186
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: five in passing touchdowns per game. And then over the

187
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: last five seasons, Jay Gruden's starting quarterback has ranked fourth, fifth, ninth.

188
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, you just said those stats. I went

189
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: more than three good, So yeah, and you know people

190
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: say he's got a nood alarm. Alex Smith, according to

191
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, actually at the highest quarterback rating on

192
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: deep throws last year by a margin, at fift higher

193
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: than the next guy. So he can throw the long balls.

194
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: Smith will have relevance and fantasy someone who might not

195
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: his Sam Bradford going there Zona. It's really Sam Bruss

196
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 1: his knees right, he's money, but can he stay healthy?

197
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: Eversone's got some enticing options with the healthy David Johnson,

198
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald. But Radford really only viable in two quarterback leads.

199
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: You don't want him in a one quarterback league. I

200
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: like him in that situation. Actually, sure he's a deep sleeper,

201
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: but I mean I'm not, you know, not the first

202
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: guy I'm picking again. That was sorry, that was my

203
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: that was my first Uh, low I Q you're chiming in.

204
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: It's okay. Yeah, that was my first low energy response

205
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: of the show. Do you want do you want to

206
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: team me up? To the running backs? Now? Running back? Yeah? There,

207
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: Carlos Hides a new running back in Cleveland, came from

208
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: San fran probably the lead back to start the season

209
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: on first and second down. Duke Johnson's still there. And

210
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: then they drafted Nick Chubb in the in the second round,

211
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: I believe. So that feels like a training camp battle. Does.

212
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that later too. Uh. Frank Gore's

213
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: my second guy. Yeah, Frank Gore. He's still in the league.

214
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: Dolphins now, dol Fins now. It's a homecoming game for

215
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: Frank Ore. Brian loves homecoming games. Homecoming season, homecoming season

216
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: for Frank Gore. Uh. They brought him into mentor Kenyan Drake.

217
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a ten to twelve touch guy. We're

218
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: gonna talk about him later. To Jeremy Hills in New England.

219
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: There's not much we need to mention there. He's probably

220
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: the fifth running back on the depth chart there. Isaiah

221
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: Crowell went from Cleveland to the New York Jets. He

222
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: is a top the depth chart in UH in New York.

223
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: He only really needs to beat out Ballel Powell and

224
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: Elijah McGuire. He should get a lot of touches this year.

225
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: I kind of like him as a sneaky mid to

226
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: late round flyer. Doug Martin went from Tampa Bay to Oakland.

227
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: It seems like Jon Gruden ish Tampa Bay to Oakland.

228
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: Gruden has been gushing about Doug Martin and Camp and

229
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: it's possible that he takes a giant chunk out of

230
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch's production this year. Finally, the last running back

231
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: that's notable that moved is Dion Lewis, who moved from

232
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: New England to Tennessee. Mike Vrabel as a Patriots guy.

233
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: He brought in a former Patriots back. You're gonna notice

234
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: that that happened in the NFC for the Patriots guy

235
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: who became a head coach. To people are petrified that

236
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: this is bad for Derrick Henry. I've still got Henry

237
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: top like a sixty forty slash seventy thirty split. I

238
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: think Derrick Henry is still the man. I got a

239
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: really interesting stat about those two. Everyone saw the picture

240
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: where and looks like a giant, and uh, Louis looks

241
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: like a little baby. But Dion Lewis in short yardage

242
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: situations want to two yards to go last year six

243
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: point six yards per carry. Derrick Henry, she's one point

244
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: nine yards per carry. So who's the bigger man? Now?

245
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: He's like Leroy Horde, you want to picking one, I'm

246
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: thinking Louis with want one, I'll get you three. You

247
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: want five, I'll get you three. Onto the wide receivers.

248
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: Then well we got time for about three for the break. Yeah,

249
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: let's do it all right. First off, Jet McKinnon former

250
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: Viking to San Francisco, a DP out of control. Yeah, late, second,

251
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: early third, do not fall for this tray out. He's

252
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: getting drafted like a total bell cow. Dude has seen

253
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: twenty carries once in his career, has never seen more

254
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: than a hundred and sixty carries in a season. This

255
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: is the set that makes me most learned. Orleans Darko

256
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: and Garrett Blunt both had about twenty more carries and McKinnon.

257
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: Last year. They both had twice as many runs of

258
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: fifteen plus yards. Then the electric jet McKinnon, Orleans Darkwa

259
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: and La Garrett Blunt, and one final thing. McKinnon tested

260
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: out in the nine percentile as an athlete at the combine.

261
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: Right Josh Hermsmeyer found out that last year with helmets

262
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: and pads on, McKinnon was well under the league average

263
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: of speed. So that stuff just weighs him down. Just

264
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't like wearing helmets and pads full on. Fa

265
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: Jered McKinnon a DP out of this world. Don't touch him? Uh.

266
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: C J. Anderson from Denver to Carolina. Uh, I guess

267
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: you can't draft t. J. Anderson because North Turner said

268
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: Chritian McCaffrey is gonna totch the ball forty times a game.

269
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: There I go, but the McCaffrey ratio. But uh. Last year,

270
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewart was seventh in the red zone carries or

271
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: carries inside the five yard line. CJ. Will certainly soak

272
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: those up. Cam is a threat at the goal line,

273
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: of course, but C J. Anderson should yield RB two

274
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: type numbers, even with Christian McCaffrey touching the ball in

275
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: every possession. The mccalf fraction, Yep, there you go. Yeah,

276
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: we'll work on that is week one of the preseason.

277
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: And lastly, will Garrett Blunt went from Philly to Detroit

278
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: so so very ineffective deep in the red zone last

279
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: year ten carries inside the five yard line for the

280
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: Garrett Blunt for negative seven yards Town don't touch him?

281
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: You want carry on Johnson theo Riddick. Heck, I might

282
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: want the reb dula over the Garret plant at this point. Well,

283
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: until he ran over a couple of Vikings and route

284
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: to a touchdown early on in the NFC champions I

285
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: don't remember that, I bring up that's not the show

286
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: for that. That didn't happen in fantasy. Let's do this

287
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: because you know, the combination of off season moves and

288
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: as we look at training camp battles over the next

289
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: couple of segments, I think that's a good opportunity for

290
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: us to weave things in because I want to hear

291
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: about wide receivers. There's certainly a several names to talk

292
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: about there, you know, into the tight end situation. You know,

293
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: for instance, the Chargers they're trying to sign like a

294
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: fifty year old guy to play tight end for him

295
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: at this stage. Uh, there's all kinds of things to

296
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: talk about. It's Matt Harrison, It's Brian Johnson. This is

297
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: the first, Uh, the the twenty four anniversary of Fantasy

298
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: Football Weekly is in play right now, and uh, I'm

299
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: in for charge. Eric Nordquist here, and we will take

Speaker 1: zero five three to six. You know, it's preseason, but

303
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: keeper questions in vogue. Who should I you know, not

304
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: who should I start? But big spot questions from you

305

306
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: on we still have five tough questions. And uh, I'm

307
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: gonna get to decide today, So I don't know, I

308
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: don't know if that that's probably gonna work out better

309
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: than churches Uh decisions in the past. Yeah, it's it's

310
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: very possible. Shots fired right there. We'll have five, we'll

311
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: have five tough questions. Potentially, my favorite segment is gonna be,

312
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: you know, the the evolution, and it's guys like you, uh,

313
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: Matt and Brian and Chart and those in the industry

314
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: that have really, uh put your heads together and come

315
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: up with unique ways to spice up that that is

316
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: fantasy football, whether it's Guillotine leagues, Empire leagues, just variations

317
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: of the game. So I want to get you know,

318
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: thoughts from you guys on some of the variations and

319
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: gameplay that can take place uh here in the NFL season,

320
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: and uh we'll have some sleepers again, We're gonna have

321

336
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: segments are really kind of gonna be a pot pourri

337
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: of not only some things that happened in the off season,

338
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: but training camp battles is the exist now and UH,

339
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson, UH fan Ball and League Safe in studio

340
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: with me, Matt Harrison fan Ball and League Safe in

341
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: studio with me, and UH, and we'll start with you again,

342
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: Matt in terms of training camp battles as they exist,

343
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: whether it's a f C and then and then we've

344
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: in maybe some some off season stuff as well. Yeah,

345
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna start at the quarterback position, the training

346
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: camp battles that somewhat matter. We'll start with Baltimore and

347
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: it's not really a training camp battle yet because it's

348
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco versus Lamar Jackson. But they drafted Lamar Jackson

349
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: in the first round. They didn't draft him in the

350
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: first round to just sit there for years and years.

351
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: Flacco could hold on to this job all year. It

352
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me if Flacco was traded next week, though,

353
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: if an injury happened to a quarterback, and and really

354
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: I think that they really want to feature Lamar Jackson.

355
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: So it's something to keep an eye on. Flacco was

356
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: gonna win the job coming out of camp, but it's

357
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: something just to keep an eye on, especially if you're

358
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: in a dynasty league. Lamar Jackson's a guy that will

359
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: be drafted in the first round in dynasty rookie drafts.

360
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: You think the leash you're short, I mean Baltimore needing

361
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: to win. I don't think they have. They made the playoff.

362
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: I think they missed the playoffs the last three years

363
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: or something like that. So it's also Ozzie Newsome's last

364
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: season and in control there as the GM, so he

365
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: might pull that trigger the Super Flex two quarterback league,

366
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is feasible that you take him with the

367
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: second overall pick in a rookie draft if your quarterback Hungary.

368
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:17,719
Speaker 1: Absolutely that's in a rookie draft. Settled down all right?

369
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo A J McCarron versus Josh Allen both kind of

370
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: uninspiring fantasy options, especially if Lashawn McCoy isn't in that offense.

371
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: There's just nothing to talk about here. Kelvin Benjamin is

372
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: the main target of his wide receiver, Charles Clay is there.

373
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's gonna get a chance to start. I think

374
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: A J. Mccarrons the guy who starts this season. But

375
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: it's gross there, and I'm avoiding both Buffalo quarterbacks. Don't

376
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: they have? Isn't Jay Jones the one that was like

377
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: naked on a balcony fighting a guy while high or

378
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: something like that. It sounds like a good weekend, I

379
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: don't know. Also sounds like a Bill's pregame hashtag has

380
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: to be has to be on a folding table though,

381
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: Uh Cleveland Tyrod Taylor versus Baker Mayfield. I meant and

382
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: in the last segment about the RV for the quarterback Club,

383
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: Tyrod probably deserves the first nod. How long will be

384
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: will he be able to hold off Baker Mayfield for

385
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: the number one spot? I seem to think as long

386
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: as Cleveland's winning games, if they can win a game,

387
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: let's start there. Once they win games. I think Tyrode's

388
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: got the opportunity to keep the job as long as

389
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: he can. If they start losing, I think Baker is

390
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: going to see the nod really quickly. Finally, Josh McCown,

391
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, and Teddy Bridgewater for the Jets. Mccowns like

392
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: forty seven years old. The Jets used the top five

393
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: pick on Donald. Bridgewater is coming off one of the

394
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: worst knee injuries in the history of mankind. If Donald

395
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: chose any kind of promise in the preseason, I think

396
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: he has the best shot. Of all the rookies that

397
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: were drafted in the first round last year, and there

398
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: were five of them, I think Donald's got the opportunity

399
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: to be the one rookie who can step up and

400
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: win that job going into Week one. So if you're

401
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: speculating a Jets quarterback, Donald's the one that I think

402
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: I want to speculate there the running back position. Here's

403
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: some training camp battles Buffalo. It's gross after Lashawn McCoy,

404
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: and we don't know if Leshn McCoy is gonna miss

405
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: time yet. You're looking at Chris Ivory versus Marcus Murphy

406
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: versus Tavarus Cadet. Gross Chris Ivory is probably the guy

407
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: who gets the most touches here, which he used to

408
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: be Beast East, and then he was Beach East, and

409
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: then he was Beach East and now courtesy of Brian Johnson.

410
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: Here it is the beast infection, the beast infection in Buffalo. Gross,

411
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,719
Speaker 1: you don't want him on your team. You don't want

412
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: him on your team at all. Cleveland, let's go there again.

413
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide is going against Nick Chubb, and we're gonna

414
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: spend a little time in the Cleveland backfield later in

415
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: the show, so I won't go deep into it. Those

416
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: two guys are really competing for the first and second

417
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: down role, where Duke Johnson's probably the third down guy. Denver.

418
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: Denver's weird. It's Royce Freeman versus Davante Booker, and they're

419
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: really calling this a time share. They're priding themselves in

420
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: Denver and calling this a time share. They wanted to

421
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: be a fifty fifty split. Freeman was a third ground

422
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: pick this season. Booker was a fourth round pick two

423
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: years ago. Booker has been uninspiring, to say the least,

424
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: so far in his career. It's probably Royce Freeman getting

425
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: the nod, but it's maybe a fifty five forty five

426
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: split and it's kind of a gross backfield. You might

427
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: not want any part of that one. I mentioned Frank

428
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: Gore in the last segment. He's in Miami against Kenyan Drake.

429
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 1: There's also a rookie called Kalen Ballidge there. He's kind

430
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: of a dark horse here. Arizona State. Yeah, Arizona State

431
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: fourth rounder. He's six to two thirty. He's built more

432
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: like a two down back than any of the guys

433
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: they have on roster right now. Drake is a little

434
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: bit smaller, six one to ten. Obviously, Drake checked a

435
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: lot of the boxes last year at the tail end

436
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: of the season. He had four point nine yards per

437
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: carry over the final five weeks of the year. But

438
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: Frank Gore, the ageless Frank Gore has had two hundred

439
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: or more carries in twelve straight years. That's unreal. So

440
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: Frank Gore is there and he's gonna steal touches. It's

441
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: another backfield that want any part of all these training

442
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: camp backfields. This one I want a little bit of

443
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: a part of. Though it's New England and it's Sony

444
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: Michelle versus Rex Burkhead. I'm in on Sony Michelle. I

445
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: think that they drafted him in the first round to

446
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: be the most electric running back New England has had,

447
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: maybe since Lawrence Moroney. You're gonna dog Michelle like that? No, Yeah,

448
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,479
Speaker 1: I know he is enticing. Charge is big on Sony Michelle.

449
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: Will have a lot to say about him in the

450
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: coming weeks, for sure. So it's worth noting in the

451
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: last five weeks of the NFL season, the guy that

452
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle is replacing his Dion Lewis. Dion Lewis had

453
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: more touchdowns than everybody in the NFL over the last

454
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: five weeks of this season except for Todd Gurley and

455
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell. He was like a top three back

456
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: over the last month of the year. So Sony Michelle

457
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: seemingly a better draft pedigree, a better player than Dion Lewis.

458
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: Is it possible we have a top five running back

459
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: sitting here that you might be able to draft in

460
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 1: the fourth, fifth, sixth round of your draft. Such a

461
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: weird group there, it's it's a weird group and you

462
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: don't want to play with Belichick, but sometimes you gotta

463
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: throw a dart and I think Sony Michelle's one that

464
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: I would do, Uh Oakland Marshawn Lynch versus Doug Martin.

465
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: Lynch is thirty two, Doug Martin is twenty nine. Both

466
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: are way past their prime. Gruden has been all in

467
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: on Doug Martin like he's a rookie quarterback, watching game

468
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: tape before the draft. It's it's so weird. I have

469
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: no idea how this pans out, but I think this

470
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: is a close to fifty fifty split as well. So

471
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 1: if you're going to take one of these two for

472
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: me right now, I'd take Doug Martin because his a

473
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: DP is much lower than march On Lynch. Last running back,

474
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: I'll mention Derrick Henry versus Dion Lewis. We talked about

475
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: hit them a little bit earlier. Dean Lewis certainly an

476
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: upgrade over to Marco Murray. They really want Derrick Henry

477
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: to be the guy in Tennessee, though, I think they're

478
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: going to give him the opportunity. So now we move

479
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: on to the wide receiver positions. I'm gonna we've in

480
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: some guys here and there. First off, Baltimore has a

481
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: completely new set of wide receivers. Everybody's gone from last year.

482
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: It's all new. It's Michael Crabtree, it's John Brown, and

483
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: it's Willie Snead. They're gonna be battling it out for one, two,

484
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: and three basically. And I think the way I listed

485
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: them is the way that they finished. Crabtree one, John

486
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: Brown too, Willie sneed three sneeds running out of the

487
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: slot most likely. John. Let's talk local real quick, and

488
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: he's out of wide receiver? Is a tight end? Is

489
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: Max Williams gonna show up finally? No caught a touchdown

490
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: in the h O F game. There you go? Oh No,

491
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: says he's shop. I'm we're pulling for you. Max. Come on, buddy,

492
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: of course we are a new guy in Cleveland is

493
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry comes over from Miami. He's definitely the top

494
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver option on roster, especially with the cloudy nature

495
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: of the Josh Gordon situation. Obviously Josh Gordon missing some

496
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: time for personal reasons. Dante woman always injured, that's it's

497
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: a mess. They've been kicking the tires on Dez Bryant

498
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: over there too in Cleveland, so that that could be

499
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: a late signing that is worth paying attention to. Dante

500
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,239
Speaker 1: Moncrief is new in Jacksonville. He comes from Indy. They

501
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: paid him a lot of money and right now he's

502
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: fourth on the depth chart among their wide receivers, behind

503
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: Mark eas Lee, Keelan Cole, d D. Westbrook, and then

504
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: they also drafted DJ Chark in the second round. This

505
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,959
Speaker 1: is a situation where it's five wide receivers vying for

506
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: two to three spots on the field. I don't want

507
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: anything to do with the Jacksonville wide receivers unless it's

508
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: in like an MFL ten's best ball, where you just

509
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: grab one in the eighteenth round and hope that they

510
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: pop off and you don't have to worry about starting

511
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: or sitting them in any given week. Sammy Watkins moves

512
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: from the l A Rams to Kansas City. He's a

513
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: completely different type of wide receiver than the Chiefs have

514
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: had basically since Dwayne Bow left the Chiefs. He's different

515
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: than Tyree Killed, Tyree Kills, the little speedster. Sammy Watkins

516
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: is a field stretching big dude. It's just he also

517
00:27:54,760 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 1: cut his dreadlocks. That's true. Problem is his third offense

518
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: in two years, and he was with another young, unproven quarterback.

519
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: I'm very nervous about Sammy Watkins. Finally, let's talk about

520
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: the l A Chargers situation. There's Tyrrell Williams versus Mike

521
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: Williams for the second wide receiver spot. Uh. They both

522
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: just blew out their knee. Oh did they know? But

523
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: that that's something that will happen on the Chargers this year.

524
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: Cursed franchise. Oh my gosh, everybody's going down. So Hunter

525
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: Henry blew out his knee earlier in uh O, t

526
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: A S and uh and that kind of thing. Antonio

527
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: Gates is still not there. He might be coming back,

528
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: so there's lots of red zone targets available here. Now. Remember,

529
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: Mike Williams was the seventh overall pick in the draft

530
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: last year. He missed most of last season due to injury.

531
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: But Tyrrell Williams was the guy who really stepped up

532
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: in when Keenan Allen went down and was out for

533
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: the year. And Travis Benjamin is always kind of a

534
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: slot deep threat guy, so he's there. But I don't know,

535
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,719
Speaker 1: don't know how to view this one. I know Brian

536
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: has always been a Tyrrell Williams guy. I kind of

537
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: like the upside of Mike Williams. They're going about the

538
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: same place in ADP right now, What do you think, Brian?

539
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: I like Williams here, You like Williams here? Gonna go

540
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: with Williams. Don't put this bad juju on me at

541
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: it's a smart way to Well. We've seen Tyrell do

542
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: it sparingly albit, but I haven't seen it from Mike Williams.

543
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: So I deferred to Tyrell at the moment. But yeah,

544
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: Mike has potential, or you'd like to believe so. But

545
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna blow out his knee and the next few

546
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: minutes here real quickly, I'll go over a couple of

547
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: the new faces and new places. Danny amondla went from

548
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: New England to Miami. He's probably wide receiver one there

549
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: over Davante Parker in my mind. The Patriots added a

550
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: couple of wide receivers with Minnesota ties, Eric Decker and

551
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: Cordarrell Patterson. Decker was just signed this week after the

552
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: Pat's released Jordan Matthews due to an injury. Patterson they said,

553
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna figure out ways to get him the ball

554
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: because he's he's really an electric guy when he gets

555
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands. Just getting the ball to

556
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: his hands. That's the top part. Terrell Prior went from

557
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: Washington to the Jets priors on his last life in

558
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. He really has one last shot. He's gonna

559
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: give it everything he got. He was injured most of

560
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: the last year too, so he was on Washington team.

561
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: That's just the curse. But yeah, I I gotta eat

562
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of crow for my prior ranking last season.

563
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: But your prior ranking of prior, prior ranking of prior.

564
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: But I was only even had him ranked two years

565
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: ago when he actually was a thing. So I'm calling

566
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: myself breaking even breaking. He's he's a great dart throw.

567
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: I think in your last round of draft, why not

568
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: anymore before we go to break Mr Harris one more set.

569
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: It's Jordy Nelson and Martevis Bryant. Jordy came from Green Bay,

570
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: Martevis from Pittsburgh. Nelson has never had success with any

571
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: other quarterback outside of Aaron Rodgers. True, he was bad

572
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: with the backups last year. It was so bad. And

573
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: Martavis Bryant wanted out of Pittsburgh really really badly. He's

574
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: still big play threat. He's young. Both of these guys

575
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: probably combined to form. Michael crab trees numbers in Oakland

576
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: last year. So I'm a little nervous there. I'm not

577
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: drafting either of them until I see something right. I

578
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: really want to avoid both of those guys at all costs.

579
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: The Raiders in general, really, for me, it's just a

580
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: it's a zoo. Okay, Well, if one of them gets better. Uh,

581
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: if you have Derek Carr that gets better. You have

582
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper who drops balls in big spots. Uh, the

583
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: talent is there, the consistency has never been there. Oakland

584
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: is a weird spot. I think Derek Carr is the

585
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: one guy that I might take because he's the only

586
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: one that I know we'll be able to have full

587
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: control of his position without a doubt. Let's let's get

588
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: back on track. We'll get to break and then when

589
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll hear from Brian, We'll hear NFC,

590
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: We'll hear training camp battles, will hear more names to

00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: whether it's NFC, it might be some offseason bits, it

610
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: might be training camp battles. Uh, give us what you got,

611
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: Mr Johnson. Let's be a little hybrid new faces and

612
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: training camp battles in the NFC let's um, let's start

613
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: with the Bears wide receivers, shall we. Uh? First off,

614
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: the Bears thankfully cut ties with dumb as rocks. John

615
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: Fox the worst play caller. I mean, he's probably been

616
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: to two Super Bowls, but I mean just you know,

617
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: all right, I'm talking fantasy football reality. My fault for

618
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: talking all good in order. You know, I love your buddy.

619
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: But new coach in Chicago Matt Naggy, the former offensive

620
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: coordinator for the Chiefs. The Chiefs ranked fifth in yards

621
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: and six in points last year. I'm excited about this

622
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: offense and their new acquisition. Allen Robinson, clear cut number

623
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: one wide receiver there now coming off the knee injury

624
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: last year. Full Ongo is looking good. I don't think

625
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: he got a ton of run on Thursday night, but

626
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: none of the starts I would imagine that he didn't know.

627
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: Nearly of targets are vacated on the Bears offense from

628
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: last year. Uh. Their best wide receiver last year was

629
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: Kendall Right, So Alan Robinson huge upgrade, huge upgrade for

630
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: that receiving corps. But the question is who's the number

631
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: two guy? Who's gonna be Kevin White? No, he's still

632
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: in the league. Surprisingly though it's remember Kevin White, that's

633
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: a bad situation. He's like in his third year. What

634
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: about Taylor Gabriel though he got all that fresh free agents? Yeah, yeah,

635
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 1: he did. Uh seems well, Scott Fish, are you listening?

636
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: Give me, give me a couple of other names. Though,

637
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 1: Anthony Miller, that's the guy, he's the he's the sexy

638
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: rookie everyone started game. But hey, what about Javon Wims

639
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: who just caught seven passes? It seems like you're on

640
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: a Whims with that one. But uh, but yeah, it's

641
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: as exciting offense. But um, that's it for the Bears

642
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Now to the Cowboys receivers. He starts laughing.

643
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: It's Alan Hearns. He's wearing a Giant's T shirt, so

644
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: he laughs at the Cowboys. Alan Hearns is the new acquisition.

645
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: Wooks to be the number one guy there might be

646
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: playing out of position though he was more of a

647
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: slot guy in Jacksonville, but Cole Beasley, they're not going

648
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: to move him to the outside unless he managed to

649
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: grow like seven inches in the off season, which I doubt.

650
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: But you've got Alan Hearns, you got rookie Michael Gallup

651
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: who people seem to be galloping Just no, I'm in

652
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: on it. That's cool. You're outnumbered. We'll allow it. And then, uh,

653
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, Terrence Williams, I don't know. But Dez Bryant,

654
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: Jason Witten, Bryce Butler all gone from the Cowboys. That's

655
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: two nine vacated targets. Something's got one. Who do you?

656
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: Who are you going with? Herns is the highest ADP,

657
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: Gallup is second. Herns are nothing. Herns are nothing? All right,

658
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: I'm down with that. Uh what else we got here?

659
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: Let's stay in the NFC East and more pitiful wide

660
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: receiver talk. Washington team got Josh Oxen, Paul Richardson, the

661
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: new acquisition, Jamison Crowder, and then there's Jordan Reid too.

662
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: He might be the number one wide receiver on that team.

663
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: But it doesn't really matter who the number one wide

664
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: receivers on Washington because during Jay Gruden's tenure, um the

665
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 1: top wide receiver in his offense has garnered only sevent

666
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: of the target share, which is well below the league average.

667
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 1: So there's just a lot of competition for targets here.

668
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 1: If I'm picking one, I'm going Paul Richardson because he's

669
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 1: the lowest ADP. But none of these guys are standing

670
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: out to me. No, he's gonna feed everybody, which means

671
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: nothing's good for fantasy. And while we're talking, Jordan read

672
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: over under how many games play this this year? Six?

673
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: You're taking the over the under on that, I'm taking

674
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: the over. I'm gonna say he plays twelve games. I'll

675
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: dollar bet you at the end of the season. And

676
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: now he never plays twelve games. That's right. He's always

677
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: heart but late when he's on the field. I got

678
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson. I think that's injured. I mean that offense

679
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: is is in disarray right now? Is Alex Smith tries

680
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: to figure it out. Jordan Reed is a stiff breeze

681
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 1: away from his ninth concussion. Nice, all right, I got

682
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: more receivers, talk about guy? I love Cameron Meredith going

683
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: over to the Saints. Yeah, fully healthy, highest paid receiver

684
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: on the team, by the way, so he will be utilized.

685
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: He's gonna push ted gain for outside duties as a

686
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 1: starting wide receiver. Saints shockingly don't only run three receiver

687
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: sets less than of the time, so Mereth might struggle.

688
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: It's fine playing time, but I don't think so. I

689
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: still think he beats out again for the starting job.

690
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: You know, so Michael Thomas gets everything. Michael Thomas gets everything.

691
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: So we're fighting for the second spot. Yeah, basically. But

692
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: you know the Saints are gonna bounce back big time offensively.

693
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: They were more of a running team last year. But

694
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: I see Drew Bees coming back. Michael Floyd probably not

695
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: draftable at this stage. Former Viking, former Cardinal. He's still

696
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: in the league. He's on the sign, breaking breaking news

697
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: that tells me everything I need to know about his

698
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: fantasy problems. Perfect. Well, while we have you here, nor

699
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: you've you've been at camp every day with the Vikings.

700
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: Who's gonna win the slot role? Kendall Ryder, Lakon, Lakwan Treadwell.

701
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: Who do you like? Um? I have no idea. I'm

702
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: just gonna be honest with you. I like what Lakwan

703
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: Treadwell is doing in camp, but none of that means

704
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: anything until we see preseason games. Kendall right has been

705
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 1: much like Lakwan, a very underperforming former first round pick.

706
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: And as you mentioned him with the Bears, Uh, it

707
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: didn't inspire excitement and confidence that he was probably one

708
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: of the most reliable targets for Travisky and company in Chicago,

709
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: and now he's coming here fighting for his life for

710
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 1: an opportunity on this offense. So, um, I am rooting

711
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: for La Kwan and I have actually seen very quality

712
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: play out of Lakwan so far in training camp. I

713
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: remember being out of Vikings game and seeing a La

714
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: Kwan Treadwell catch and I was like, this is like

715
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: seeing the easter punny. Yeah, that well. He had the

716
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: one handed catch against against the Packers last season. Um,

717
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: and then it's crickets from there on out. I mean

718
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: he's been it's two full seasons without a touchdown. So

719
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: this is this is making or break it for him.

720
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: It's a lot of La law Treadwill talked too much,

721
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: almost a little too much. Let's talk about running backs.

722
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: Probably the most intriguing battle right now is in Seattle

723
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: between Chris Carson and Rashad Penny. Uh. People have been

724
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: drafting Penny like he's the true bell cow. Yeah, they're

725
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: drafting him like third fourth round in a lot of situations,

726
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: jumping to serious conclusions there. Um, Look, Seattle doesn't have

727
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: a very good run game. They don't have a good

728
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 1: offensive line, they don't have much going on. Fine, Uh,

729
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: Chris Carson is supposedly the lead back according to Pete Carroll,

730
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: even though they drafted Shot Penny in the first round.

731
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm just not touching this backfield whatsoever. I've said it

732
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: a few times already. I see Russell Wilson leading this

733
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: team in rushing yards and roaching touchdowns for what you

734
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: have to pay for Chris Carson, which is like a

735
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: ninth or tenth round to a DP on MFL ten's

736
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 1: right now, I don't mind grabbing Chris Carson late and

737
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: stashing him and and hoping good things happen there, but

738
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm not paying the Rashad Penny price. Basically, you just

739
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: draft Ross and maybe Baldwin on that team, right, I mean,

740
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 1: it's that's pretty much it. Of Seattle's touchdowns came via

741
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,720
Speaker 1: the past last year, and uh, you know that defense,

742
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: it's a distant memory. So I see more. They're not

743
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: gonna be controlling the clock. It's gonna be a shootout. Yeah,

744
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna be a throwing a ton in Seattle. So

745
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: I'm not liking that backfield a whole lot. Uh. Another

746
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: muddled backfield in Detroit. Garrett Blunt was just recently added,

747
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: I've already did I talk about how much I hate

748
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: la Garrett Blunt already? I think I have very ineffective

749
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: and bad. So we got Carrie on Johnson rookie. Everyone's

750
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: excited about theo ritic will own the third down work

751
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: for sure, but he's still around a mirror Abdullah supposedly

752
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: still a thing, getting praise for his working camp. I'm

753
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: not here, comes Javid Best mickel Less, sure right, but

754
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,760
Speaker 1: not yea, nothing to do that either. This is another team.

755
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: I love the passing game, so I'm really out on

756
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: these running backs. If I gotta take one, it's Riddick

757
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: and Ppr. He's a one of the best pass catching

00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: dot com keyword events for all the information on that

831
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: I had mentioned in pre segment though as part of

832
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: this uh, this particular part of Fantasy Football Weekly, Uh,

833
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: it is time for five tough questions. Question number one,

834
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: five tough questions now here full disclosure to those listening here. Um,

835
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: I have the questions, but charge you know he he was.

836
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: It was so important to him that he gave me

837
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: the answers nor no thanks for filling in today. It's awesome.

838
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: Love you. I'm gonna get you these answers though, because

839
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna have no idea what the right answer is,

840
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,879
Speaker 1: and don't trust Matt and Briant. Did he say that

841
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: he never he never can He never gave me the answers.

842
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: You don't need the answers because he always agrees with

843
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: everything that there's never dissension in the growth. Uh. And

844
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 1: so I think we're starting five for five this year, right, Brian, Oh,

845
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Um. So here this is for

846
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: for Matt and uh and for Brian. Uh. My experts

847
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: in studio today, Your experts in fantasy football love uh. Tough.

848
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: Question Number one is Nick Foles the rare quarterback handcuff?

849
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: Take it away, man, I'm going first, so we may

850
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: have more clarity on Carson Wentz before your draft begins,

851
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: because he's practicing. He is, and if it looks certain

852
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 1: that Wentz will miss the first few games of the year,

853
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,720
Speaker 1: Nick Foles is an excellent handcuff. Although I'd say once

854
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: Wentz returns. Once Wentz I'd be using the Folds roster

855
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: spot for someone else. So I think if you're drafting

856
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,959
Speaker 1: right now, it's a yes. It if we know any

857
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 1: clarity on the Wentz situation and Wentz his list as

858
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 1: the starter in week one, Folds is not a handcuff quarterback. Yeah.

859
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: I don't have much to add. I agree with you, Matt,

860
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: and it's a it's a favorable schedule for the Eagles. Uh,

861
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: passing games start the season. Uh, Falcons, Bucks, Colts, Titans

862
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: not a strong secondaries there. So yeah, Folds proved he

863
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 1: was more than capable of running that offense. Wentz doesn't

864
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: start the season for whatever reason. Uh, you want to

865
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 1: have Fowls handcuffed to him on your roster. You both

866
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: are absolutely qu I've never heard anything more brilliantly and

867
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: more eloquently stated than than what YouTube both said. I

868
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: think it's interesting that that Folds is a full go

869
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: uh in camp right now. He is practicing every day,

870
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: But there really is there There isn't necessarily a rush.

871
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: Who is it again that they they open up with

872
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: in the season, Atlanta, We'll see that's they get the

873
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: host Atlanta. Yeah, and then they had Bucks next week.

874
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: That's a good matchup, Colts, great matchup. And is it

875
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: possible that it's pesky because it's the Thursday nighter for

876
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: the opener, they get a little less time. Maybe Carson

877
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: Wentz needs needs those three extra days. Yeah, but what if?

878
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: But maybe there's maybe there's just not a hurry, you know,

879
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: in terms of just getting him and you know, him

880
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,320
Speaker 1: practicing every day doesn't mean that the sharpness and everything

881
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: back and play. Can you imagine though? If sorry, I'll

882
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: cut you off. Wins doesn't start the season and Folds does. Uh,

883
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: and he you know, carves up his first two or

884
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: three opponents yards and four touchdowns. Holy QB controversy on

885
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: your hands, but fan the fan. But he was on

886
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 1: track to have an mp M v P season before

887
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: he had the injury in l A. So um. And

888
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,240
Speaker 1: and we we know what Philly fans are like, alright,

889
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 1: we know they can be brutal, they can be negative.

890
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, I love I love how you guys

891
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:51,280
Speaker 1: answered the first question. Let's move on question number two.

892
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: I'll good with some devanis b right now? Uh? This

893
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: is the second tough question. Who will lead Brown's running

894
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 1: backs in fan NFC points. We'll start with Brian this time. Yeah,

895
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: I made sure I asked charge. He said this isn't

896
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 1: in PPR scenarios. So um, you got Carlos Hide the

897
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: new acquisition, Chubbed the rookie, and then Duke Johnson. Duke

898
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 1: Johnson clearly the best pass catching back on that team,

899
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: possibly in NFL. Duke Johnson had one fewer catch than

900
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: a J Green and Doug Baldwin last year more catches

901
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: than Mike Evans, Rob Gronkowski, Brandon Cooks, Todd Gurley even,

902
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 1: and the list goes on and on. I just see

903
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: Chubb and Hide kind of, you know, equalizing each other,

904
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: and Duke Johnson is gonna soak up a ton of targets,

905
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,439
Speaker 1: a ton of catches, and especially if Josh Gordon doesn't

906
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: get his head right, Dukes in line for bigger Rolesh.

907
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm going Duke. Yeah. I looked back at Hugh Jackson's career,

908
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 1: and I think if this was a scenario where it

909
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: was Carlos Hide alone or Nick Chubb alone, I'd be

910
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: answering one of those guys. But I came to the

911
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 1: same conclusion as Brian. Hugh Jackson had a runner and

912
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:09,240
Speaker 1: a pass catcher. In Cincinnati, Jeremy Hill led in fantasy

913
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:16,800
Speaker 1: points over Geo Bernard. When Hugh got to Cleveland, Isaiah

914
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: Kroll led over Duke Johnson. Last year, Duke led the

915
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: fantasy points over Kroll, but it was kind of a

916
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: weird season where Kroll only had two touchdowns the entire season.

917
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: Add two or three touchdowns to his backfield and he

918
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 1: wins that that scenarios was one of them against the Vikings,

919
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: by the way, in in in London. I don't remember.

920
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. You guys are all about numbers and stats.

921
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about old Vikings anyway. Griffin and the

922
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 1: damn foot. Duke's the only one with a clear role.

923
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: Brian teat it up perfectly. It's it's Duke Johnson. That's

924
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: the answer. You guys are both absolutely correct. I think

925
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb has learning curve. Uh we're pea cock and

926
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: we're backcocking. I think Carlos High this is lesson move

927
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 1: about a great opportunity to solidify that running game, as

928
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: it is for him to maintain his NFL career as

929
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: things have kind of started to uh drift down the

930
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: line as he was in San Francisco. You guys are

931
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: two for two. I mean, this is this is fantastic.

932
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm envisioning charts. These are not correct. Hot question number three.

933
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: These questions just aren't hard enough. But here's here's one

934
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: that I really like. So we remember the Philadelphia Eagles.

935
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: It was the three headed attack of J. A. G. I.

936
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: It was La Garrett Blunt, Corey Clement. I think they

937
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: had Wendell Smallwood. Smallwood may have been injured. Sprowls they

938
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: had and Sprowls got injured. Now back in the mix,

939
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: Blunt goes elsewhere. Um will j a g I have

940
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 1: three hundred total touches in a full season with the

941
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. To get to three hundred touches, you need

942
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: to average nineteen per game. A Ji was suspended for

943
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: Week one last year and he sat out Week seventeen.

944
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: He played fourteen games. He averaged sixteen and a half

945
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: touches per week over the season, and he only played

946
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: seven regular season games at the Eagles, and the first

947
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 1: four weeks he barely touched the ball at all. He

948
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: never topped nine carries in those first four weeks. And

949
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,760
Speaker 1: then that's the that's with the Eagles. He was learning

950
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:22,760
Speaker 1: the Eagles offense. Halfway through the year. Over the last

951
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: three weeks he had sixteen, fourteen, and sixteen touches as

952
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 1: they were ramping him and out ramping him up. Then

953
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: they gave him Week seventeen off to rest, and then

954
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 1: in the playoffs eighteen and twenty one in the two

955
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: NFC round games, only had nine touches in the Super Bowl,

956
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: but that game was kind of a wide open, weird

957
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: game and Blunt is gone. So he only needs two

958
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: and a half more touches per game, and he was

959
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: doing that anyway to hit the three mark. I think

960
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 1: it's obvious that he hits three touches. Yeah. I don't

961
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 1: have a whole lot to add there. I like his

962
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:59,839
Speaker 1: chance one combined touches from Philadelphia running backs last year

963
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: with three running backs, that's nearly three d each. Uh

964
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: and a joy has Mett mentioned just they rammed up

965
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 1: his involvement in the offense as the season went on.

966
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: Last year in Philly, he was averaging under four yards

967
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: per carry with the Dolphins. He averaged five point eight

968
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: yards per carry with the Eagles last year. Darren Sprawls

969
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 1: is back, but he's also Darren sprawled No, but no,

970
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: I like giys chances for three touches. Let's say yes.

971
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: In charge definitely agrees you guys are three for This

972
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 1: is the best five tough questions. There's no animosity, very

973
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: little adversarial nitpicking of each other. Uh. This couldn't have

974
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: gone any better. Uh, thus far des hot Question number four.

975
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: Man Jameis Winston. Jameis Winston, quarterback, Tampa Bay Buccaneers can't.

976
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: Uh seemed to keep himself out of trouble. Underwhelming season

977
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 1: by a lot of accounts. Um, I guess maybe you

978
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: guys look at it differently from a fantasy perspective as

979
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 1: I did. Just Box didn't look good on the field. Uh.

980
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: And now he's gonna be sitting out the first three games,

981
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: which means Ryan Fitzpatrick a guy that can have success

982
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: in very short stints. He'll get to start the season,

983
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 1: maybe he gets a win or two for the Bucks.

984
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 1: But Jamis Winston quarterback Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Is he draftable

985
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: in one quarterback leagues? Quite simply? Absolutely not. Uh. You know,

986
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 1: first three games, that's about a third of the fantasy

987
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 1: regular season, and his ADP has plummeted understandably so, but

988
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: right around his range. I'd rather be going case Keenum Uh,

989
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: Eli Manning talk about Eli really quick. Yes, I'm wearing

990
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 1: a Giant's T shirt. Odell Beckham top three wide receiver,

991
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 1: right se Kwan Barkley, top five running back. We can

992
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 1: say that they're all top ten except you lie. He

993
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: lies down ADP and everybody else in the offense is

994
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 1: going to finish in the top ten. Yeah, Okay, I

995
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:07,399
Speaker 1: smell with the Brian's so quite simply, no, don't touch

996
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston in one quarterback leagues at all. Look at

997
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 1: him on the way wire he comes back, but draft no. Yeah.

998
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 1: The only thing I'll add to that is because Brian's

999
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: completely right, Dirk Cutter didn't guarantee him his job back

1000
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 1: from Ryan Fitzpatrick when he returns. And if you're in

1001
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: a one quarterback league and you've drafted a Brady Rogers,

1002
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,399
Speaker 1: a Breeze Russell Wilson, there's four of the teams, there's

1003
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 1: a thirtier teams right there. You don't need a second

1004
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: quarterback on your roster if you've got those four guys.

1005
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,800
Speaker 1: So just forget that. So the rest of the teams,

1006
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: they're looking at two guys, they're looking at different guys,

1007
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 1: and they're looking at guys that aren't going as late

1008
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: as Winston, who's the twenty one quarterback off the board

1009
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: right now. And you can get guys like Mitch True, Biskuye,

1010
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:52,919
Speaker 1: case Keenum, Eli Manning, Andy Dalton, Tyrod Taylor to fill

1011
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 1: in for a week, for a bye week. You don't

1012
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: need a second quarterback in a one QB league. This

1013
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 1: might be the deepest quarterback class or whatever. You guys

1014
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: are four for four. Finally, let's question number five. Well, this,

1015
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean this, this could be this is this is

1016
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: juicy here, guys, Final question five tough questions. Um, Jordy

1017
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: Nelson goes to Oakland and Aaron Rodgers he uh, he's

1018
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:29,919
Speaker 1: got Davante Adams, He's got Geronimo Allison helped me before

1019
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: I start looking stupid, Jamon More, Jamon Moore, Equitamius st

1020
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,800
Speaker 1: Brown and uh, and of course the thirty million dollar

1021
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 1: acquisition of Jimmy Graham. So and when you look at

1022
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:46,399
Speaker 1: the Packers, who will be second? I assume he's He's

1023
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: meaning that Davante Adams is going to be the number

1024
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 1: one target who finished his second in receiving Fantasy points

1025
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 1: for the Packers. I hope Brian has a different answer

1026
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: than me. I'm guessing he probably won't. Though I got

1027
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham. He's slow, he's not who he used to be,

1028
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: but he's still a red zone threat. And the Packers

1029
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 1: throw in the red zone at among the highest rates

1030
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 1: in the league. So get this. Jimmy Graham led the

1031
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: league in red zone targets and red zone touchdowns. Last season,

1032
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 1: he scored on all eight catches inside the ten, which

1033
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: we call the infrared zone on this show. In rogers

1034
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: last three healthy seasons, he's thrown over ninety four red

1035
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 1: zone passing attempts in every season, including the season where

1036
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 1: he threw one and fifteen red zone passing attempts. Do

1037
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: you know how many touchdowns Rogers through from inside the

1038
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: red zone in two thousand sixteen? No, I don't. Thirty three.

1039
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Jimmy Graham's a red zone target. He's

1040
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 1: gonna throw a lot of red zone touchdowns. It's gonna

1041
00:57:55,320 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: be Jimmy Graham. Are you gonna say Randall Cobb your Briane? Well,

1042
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: if I disagree, can we still both be right? But no,

1043
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: I guess it could be Jimmy Graham. He could lead

1044
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: the team in receiving points without a doubt that the

1045
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 1: Packers do run three receiver sets nearly at the time,

1046
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: or they have in recent history. So Davanta Adams a

1047
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: clear cut number one receiver. I'm not sold on who's

1048
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: going to be better between This is one of those

1049
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: ones where Charch would have gone, It's gonna be Davante Adams.

1050
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 1: Ha ha. That's totally what charge was gonna do with

1051
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: this here that we're both right, you're you're both completely

1052
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: on alan correct five five for five. I mean, I

1053
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: I think Davante I mean Dante Adams kind of the

1054
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 1: turnaround that he had two years ago and he's become

1055
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: I think he's the clear number one favorite. But I

1056
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 1: mean if they got on it and suddenly Graham has

1057
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen red zone touchdowns, I mean that's I mean,

1058
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 1: I don't think you'll go wrong. He might only catch

1059
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: forty balls all season, but he might still touchdowns. Yeah, yeah,

1060
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Uh, that's five. Is there a

1061
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 1: close to this? Tony no clothes? That's five tough questions?

1062
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:07,919
Speaker 1: Thank you to devanis Now I'm hungry. Um, let's take

1063
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 1: one call before we go to break, though, I do

1064
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: want to take one. This is our this is our

1065
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: our first call um of the of the season of

1066
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. It goes to read Scott in Minnetonka. Scott,

1067
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: what's up, Good morning guys, Good morning back. Um say,

1068
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 1: I am in a PPR Empire League and I have

1069
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott as my first running back and Joe Mixon

1070
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: as my second Obviously last year was pretty frustrating. But

1071
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 1: what are your prospects for Joe Mixon this year? Thanks Scott, Well,

1072
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:45,919
Speaker 1: let's let's answer that before we go to break here.

1073
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon year number two, as they try to work

1074
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 1: him into the bid. I think Jeremy Hill now gone right,

1075
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 1: So now it's it's Joe Mixon is g O still

1076
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 1: there is still there geoel factor and I'm throw down

1077
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: for sure, But uh, Mixing will have a better year

1078
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 1: than last. And really his struggles were not because of him,

1079
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: it was because of the offensive line was one of

1080
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: the worst in football. He was getting content. You know,

1081
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: he wasn't getting past the line of scrimmage before he

1082
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 1: had tackled her. He fought for every yard he got

1083
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:14,919
Speaker 1: on his own. But he's in better shape, that line

1084
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 1: is better. So I like a big bounce back from Mixing.

1085
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 1: Definitely take him over Jeric McKinnon in any drafts there

1086
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: we go get a McKinnon dig in there. Uh, any

1087
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 1: disagreement from you? I like Mixing quite a bit as

1088
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 1: I'm looking here. So they have they got Jake Fisher.

1089
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: They must have pulled Court and they pulled Corty Glenn

1090
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: from the Bills. The offensive line and they and they

1091
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 1: drafted Billy Price from from Ohio State, so the offensive

1092
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 1: line should be a little bit better after they just

1093
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: hedged talent uh two years ago for the Cincinnati Bengals. Anyway,

1094
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 1: when we come back, Scott and Tacca mentioned the Empire League.

1095
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: There are several unique ways. Now there are there are

1096
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 1: those that like me that you know, we don't like change. Okay,

1097
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 1: so we have trouble dealing and dipping our toes into

1098
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: unknown waters. But there are very cool ways outside of

1099
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 1: the norm to play fantasy football. And for those of

1100
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,400

1120
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 1: what Shells really it shouldn't be called the Shells Brewery

1121
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 1: because it's like a compound. It's more than just an acridge.

1122
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 1: And they make German beer. Right, it feels like you're

1123
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 1: in Germany. It's like it's so it's bizarre, like you're

1124
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 1: you just entered a different world. No, as as a

1125
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 1: main cay Do native, I've been familiarized with with Shells

1126
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 1: Brewery for a very long time. Whether it's box, it's uh,

1127
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 1: it's fire brick, it's uh. You know now that now

1128
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 1: they have of course premium and in the grain Belts

1129
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 1: as part of their stable as well. They had this

1130
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 1: beer called howen Stein. It was more let's just say

1131
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 1: economical for those of us in college that needed to

1132
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 1: get as much as we could for as little of

1133
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: what we had. If Chart were here, he'd mentioned that

1134
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: grain Belt is the official beer Fantasy Football and that

1135
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: grain Belt Blue is yummy. That's what Church would say,

1136
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 1: very yummy. It is good. No, grain Belt Blue is awesome.

1137
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,480
Speaker 1: I'm more of a North East guy myself. Uh, and

1138
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 1: I'm just o g premium as well. North East. That's weird.

1139
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,919
Speaker 1: That's where they named it after me. Thank you, grain

1140
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 1: Belt Chat and Bloomington. How you doing man? Thanks for

1141
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 1: holding here? Yeah? What up? Brother? That's fine? Hey are

1142
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: you doing so pumped up? And welcome back to this

1143
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: another season? Hell yeah? Why am I so childish when

1144
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 1: this comes? I can't wait? Because it's fun? All right? Well,

1145
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 1: he's have two quick questions. Sure, this one's kind of

1146
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 1: off the bar a little bit. But we're in a

1147
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 1: fourteen league. I'm drafting on Friday night over friend's house. Personally,

1148
01:03:57,720 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 1: we've gotted two guys last year, and that was two

1149
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 1: because I think the twelve is enough in Snake Draft PPR.

1150
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 1: And when we picked, we took the computer. You know, okay,

1151
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 1: let's number one pick on the computer or whatever, four

1152
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 1: or five or nine. But then if I get to pick,

1153
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 1: I could trade it or I could switch it us

1154
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 1: if there's an open spot. Now out of the four

1155
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 1: teen teams, where do you think would be the best

1156
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,560
Speaker 1: one to goal? You know what I mean? Where you

1157
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 1: could get better draft quality, you know, coming back down,

1158
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 1: So one of the fishing. Brian and I earlier this

1159
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: morning hosted a show on Serious XM called MFL Ten's

1160
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: Weekly where we talk about draft positioning and a lot

1161
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 1: of stuff like that, oh give me that, give me

1162
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: that against right then MFL Tens Weekly. It's on Serious XM. Um,

1163
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 1: just go to fanball dot com. We prefer actually that

1164
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 1: you you would just go to fanball dot com. That's good,

1165
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: good plan, good plan. But but we dig pretty deep

1166
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 1: into what's the best position in a draft, and we

1167
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 1: have twelve team drafts on MFL tens dot com and

1168
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: we found that the tail end of the first round

1169
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 1: is a really good spot to be because in my mind,

1170
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 1: there's a sixteen to eight teen player top tier and

1171
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 1: then I think it falls off. So if you're near

1172
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 1: the twelve, thirteen, the fourteen, you're going to get that

1173
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 1: second guy in the second round and he's still going

1174
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 1: to be a premium player where you're not going to

1175
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 1: get that guy at the tail end of the second

1176
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 1: round if you have an early pick right. And in

1177
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 1: our draft we got about Ken gott best friends been

1178
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 1: there forever and it would be more really kind of

1179
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 1: like every other draft, but like we're a little were

1180
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 1: at a lot of the guys are running back heavy now.

1181
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 1: The second question real quick, I was that's where I

1182
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 1: have a man crush right now for Shaan kal Berkeley

1183
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 1: of the Giants, even though he hasn't played a snappet

1184
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And then of course Deshaun Watson coming

1185
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 1: back because he was awesome for a guy last year

1186
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 1: until he went down, and I just feel if he's

1187
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 1: stays healthy, you'll be running like, you know, like an

1188
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 1: old cam back in the path. Well, as we mentioned, Hey, thanks, Jad,

1189
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 1: we'll we'll we'll answer this one off air. Yeah, Quan,

1190
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 1: of course Brian's gonna have I mean, he's got twenty

1191
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 1: minutes of free show on Kwan. Yeah. But then to

1192
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 1: Sean getting healthy post a cl as well, Kan You're

1193
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 1: probably gonna have to draft earlier than the seventh pick

1194
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 1: seven is about where I think that he can fall to.

1195
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 1: And like Brian, like Brian said earlier, this is one

1196
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 1: of the deepest quarterback classes ever. So if you're looking

1197
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: at quarterback in round two already, I think you're kind

1198
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 1: of making a little bit of a mistake. I would

1199
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 1: want to get two quality players, and if I was

1200
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 1: at the tail end of the first round, I'd look

1201
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: at like a Keenan Allen and I Julio Jones kind

1202
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 1: of a guy at wide receiver, maybe a Michael Thomas

1203
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: he's fallen right about there, and then like a Dalvin

1204
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 1: Cook kind of a guy who's sitting right there. You

1205
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 1: pair a good running back with a good wide receiver,

1206
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 1: and then wait until could you get a Russell Wilson

1207
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 1: at thirty five? Yeah? You should. You should be able

1208
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 1: to see a Russell Wilson in the third or fourth

1209
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 1: round if you want to premo quarterback. But I'd still

1210
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 1: wait till the sixth or seventh round to get a quarterback,

1211
01:06:55,640 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 1: especially in a fourteen team league. Agreed. All that absolutely beautiful.

1212
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 1: Thanks thanks to Chad At six or six extra tough

1213
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 1: question from Chad in Bloomington. I didn't want to get

1214
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 1: through this, uh this segment though, and I'm just going

1215
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 1: to run through because I'm always you know, it's typical.

1216
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 1: It's uh, you know, you get some leagues have a flex,

1217
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 1: some don't have a flex. You know, variations, team defense, kicker,

1218
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 1: you know all of these things. Um. But the unique

1219
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 1: in the evolution of fantasy football, which makes it so

1220
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 1: fun is how to get creative with the leagues themselves,

1221
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:31,840
Speaker 1: different ways to engage you as as somebody that's uh

1222
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 1: that's trying to compete for cash at the end of

1223
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 1: the season. So I had some questions about these things.

1224
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna start with this now. This is something

1225
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:42,479
Speaker 1: that Charge that I heard from Charge, who's talked about

1226
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 1: on the Friday Football Feast for nearly nine ten months

1227
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:48,919
Speaker 1: now feels like maybe an entire year is Guillotine League.

1228
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 1: He's very excited about at the So you have the league,

1229
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:54,240
Speaker 1: let's say it's twelve, you know or so teams. At

1230
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:57,560
Speaker 1: the end of each week, it has to be seven

1231
01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 1: team teams. Oh, it does have to be exactly okay,

1232
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 1: so it has to be seventeen teams that's why we

1233
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 1: got you here, Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson. UH seventeen

1234
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:11,040
Speaker 1: teams and each week of the NFL season the bottom

1235
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:13,960
Speaker 1: scoring team, So it's not head to head matchups, purely

1236
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 1: the bottom scoring team. They are eliminated guillotine style. You're

1237
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 1: you're all playing, you're all playing for points in a

1238
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 1: given week. You just need to not be last. No

1239
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 1: one's actually dying. Okay, there's not a physical guillotine. It's

1240
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 1: just that your team is eliminated from the league and

1241
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: the roster is pushed back into the waiver pool. How

1242
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 1: does that work? So when you push the roster back

1243
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:41,639
Speaker 1: into the waiver pool, everybody uses free agent blind bidding budget.

1244
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 1: You get a hundred mythical dollars to go play with,

1245
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 1: and then you you spend it on free agents. So

1246
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: let's say, for instance, we're we're talking like it was

1247
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen and the team that drafted Levan Bell

1248
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 1: had a bad week in the first week because Levian

1249
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 1: Bell had a terrible week one last year. So all

1250
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden, that team with Levy On Bell just

1251
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 1: got dropped and levy On Bell just entered your free

1252
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,599
Speaker 1: agent pool. Then you have to take a look at

1253
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 1: how much do I want to spend on this guy,

1254
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 1: and and try to plan ahead, because all you gotta

1255
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,720
Speaker 1: do is continue to survive the next week and not

1256
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 1: get cut so you can get down to the last

1257
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:23,600
Speaker 1: two guys the end of the season and win. And

1258
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 1: it's it's all about spending your money wisely on on

1259
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 1: free agent acquisition and god just making sure that you're

1260
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 1: cutting the right guy, because midway through the season you're

1261
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 1: cutting a really good player off of your fantasy roster

1262
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:40,959
Speaker 1: to pick up another really good player who just became available.

1263
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 1: One wrinkle I'd love to throw into GUI team leagues

1264
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:45,799
Speaker 1: is if you do an auction instead of a draft,

1265
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:50,559
Speaker 1: if you have any leftover auction dollars that carries over

1266
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:55,640
Speaker 1: to your blind bidding budget. I like that we have

1267
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 1: teen leagues at safe leagues dot com, correct by Scott Fish.

1268
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:02,320
Speaker 1: So if you're intrigued by this concept, which you should be,

1269
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 1: go to safely dot com. Check it out. Sign up now.

1270
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by this next one. Best ball. So I

1271
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 1: didn't hear about this until we hung out a few

1272
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 1: days ago. The three of us hung out in a bar.

1273
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 1: It was great. It was Yeah, it's fantastic the set

1274
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 1: up you guys, Okay, yeah, definitely a work meeting. Yeah,

1275
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 1: Best Ball. So I'm gonna do this league. Follow me

1276
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 1: on Twitter if you don't at Eric nordok fan you

1277
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 1: can participate in my first m f L ten league

1278
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 1: that I'm starting up tomorrow. Best Ball. So the idea

1279
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 1: is is in your league, uh, you draft a full

1280
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 1: fantasy roster in bench. So that's eighteen that's twenty players. Okay,

1281
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 1: so that's you know, you're doubling up on your QBS.

1282
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:48,920
Speaker 1: You're doing all these things, full full twenty player roster.

1283
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:54,639
Speaker 1: Now each week, the MFL ten or the the computer

1284
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 1: will automatically determine what your best possible starting lineup would

1285
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:00,760
Speaker 1: have been. And that's your point, totally correct. You do

1286
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 1: not set a starting lineup. It sets it for you.

1287
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:06,800
Speaker 1: You literally just set it and forget it. It's like

1288
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,720
Speaker 1: Ron Ron Pope Peel right there, Best Ball. So what happens, though,

1289
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 1: is there's no matchups per se every single week. You're

1290
01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:17,920
Speaker 1: merely accumulating points each week based on those best possible

1291
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:20,679
Speaker 1: lineups every single week, and at the end of the season,

1292
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:24,360
Speaker 1: whoever has accumulated the highest point total is the is

1293
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 1: the champion of that league. That I get that halfway correct,

1294
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 1: you did it, and the that's like the standard format.

1295
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 1: We also have top three. It's finishing the top three

1296
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 1: and you in. And we have different payout structures second losers, yeah,

1297
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 1: rewarding the you know, the pitiful second and third place. Yeah.

1298
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 1: We got a brand new draft rooms. Pretty awesome. We

1299
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:45,519
Speaker 1: have live drafts now for MFL tens. It's always been

1300
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:47,600
Speaker 1: slow drafts for eight hour o' clocks, but now we

1301
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 1: have one minute live drafts and the class still have

1302
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah. There, you can run multiple at a time.

1303
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 1: They're great fun. So the cool part about MFL tens

1304
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 1: is you can go and use these their ten dollar entries. Yeah,

1305
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 1: you could win a hundred bucks off of them, but

1306
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:09,639
Speaker 1: you can also use them to prepare for your other

1307
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 1: drafts because you're actually drafting against real people who really care.

1308
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:16,559
Speaker 1: Unlike mock draft boards, you don't have to do any

1309
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:19,519
Speaker 1: end season management. Once your draft is done. There's no trades,

1310
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 1: there's no pickups, there's no drops, the waiver wire doesn't exist.

1311
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 1: You don't even have to start a lineup. You could

1312
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 1: set it and forget it for the entire season. You

1313
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:30,479
Speaker 1: can follow along at MFL tens dot com. But and

1314

Speaker 1: you mentioned this and you show this to me the

1325
01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 1: other day, and and the value and it is is

1326
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:04,280
Speaker 1: doing this league? So set it and forget it. And

1327
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 1: it's ten box. I get that, But you're actually getting

1328
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 1: a very realistic, uh idea of a DPS. You know

1329
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 1: how people are drafting correct different strategies, what they feel,

1330
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 1: which for ten bucks, you're basically you're you're almost pre

1331
01:13:19,439 --> 01:13:23,080
Speaker 1: seasoning for your season long where you are setting your

1332
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:25,240
Speaker 1: lineup and transactions and in and out and all of

1333
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:27,240
Speaker 1: that as well and oh, by the way, you can

1334
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 1: win money. Oh yeah, and you can win cast. Well yeah,

1335
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 1: well we didn't say there's a fan ball. Introduced the

1336
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:36,560
Speaker 1: new uh Overall ten tho dollar prize basically for the

1337
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:41,439
Speaker 1: highest scoring MFL ten overall lineup overall for the whole

1338
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 1: seasons a public league. You can create private league. Stupid

1339
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,200
Speaker 1: NFL tens. By the way, Yeah, let's do this because

1340
01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:50,120
Speaker 1: there is a very cool league that I'm excited about

1341
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:52,720
Speaker 1: learning about. And we are backed up against the clock here,

1342
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:54,600
Speaker 1: who want to take a break, and you know the

1343
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:56,960
Speaker 1: Empire League. More and more people chat. Of course you

1344
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 1: just called in. He's familiar with the Empire League. We

1345
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 1: know what that is. And we won't mention that super

1346
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:05,799
Speaker 1: flex as well. Thievery is something that actually really entices

1347
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 1: me in terms of a variation of league game play.

1348
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:11,680
Speaker 1: The final segment is next, whether it's phone call six,

1349
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:15,760
Speaker 1: five three to six, eight, three to zero, five three

1350
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:18,240
Speaker 1: to six. I got a couple of emails here at

1351

1376
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 1: an interesting part of the season because there's a lot

1377
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:23,679
Speaker 1: of things to uh, you know, dig into in terms

1378
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:26,240
Speaker 1: of the offseason moves. You guys hit hard on training

1379
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:31,120

Speaker 1: players are gonna have to make. But last segment, what

1381
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 1: we talked about variations in gameplay. We hit on guillotine leagues.

1382
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:38,880
Speaker 1: We hit on best Ball, which is sweet. Go to

1383
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:44,519

Speaker 1: uh to get uh dig into these best ball leagues.

1385
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:50,759
Speaker 1: These are sweet. It's basically like preseason for your regular

1386
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 1: draft leagues. UM, and I'm gonna be doing one tomorrow,

1387
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 1: so we'll pump that up on Twitter and all that,

1388
01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 1: and you can draft and beat me and take my

1389
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:00,120
Speaker 1: money and have fun with that. A couple more want

1390
01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:02,000
Speaker 1: to dig into. Then I got I got a couple

1391
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:04,479
Speaker 1: of calls from emails and stuff. As we kind of

1392
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 1: the cutting room floor, we take anything we've missed so far. UH,

1393
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 1: Empire leagues. Now, this isn't necessarily something that's new, but

1394
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:16,479
Speaker 1: it's still something that's kind of gaining traction um simply

1395
01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 1: enough to me as casual Rube, I'm not in an

1396
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 1: an empire league. It's essentially a dynasty league ongoing. Uh.

1397
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:26,439
Speaker 1: And then there's the pot that builds. I believe it

1398
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 1: would be a percentage of everyone's dues year to year,

1399
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 1: and then as soon as somebody wins the league twice

1400
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 1: in a row or maybe that's a that's a function

1401
01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 1: of what you decide for your particular empire league, could

1402
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 1: be three years in a row, whatever it is. Uh,

1403
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:42,640
Speaker 1: you set that bar so that that pot goes to

1404
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: the the empire that the empire emperor. Uh is am

1405
01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:51,839
Speaker 1: I missing anything? Tell me more? So we've we started

1406
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:54,600
Speaker 1: an Empire League back at the League Safe Office, and

1407
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:57,760
Speaker 1: we're going into year seven of it now. So we're

1408
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 1: our empire pots starting to it pretty big because we

1409
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 1: put half of each entry fee into the Empire pot.

1410
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 1: So half of the pot goes into the empire pot

1411
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 1: um when you win two years in a row. And

1412
01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:13,680
Speaker 1: it's a dynasty league, so you keep everybody on all

1413
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:16,760
Speaker 1: your rosters, your whole roster moves over year to year.

1414
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:18,800
Speaker 1: You can make trades for draft picks. You can make

1415
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 1: all sorts of fun trades. It's really like being the

1416
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 1: general manager of a team. But the one caveat is

1417
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:29,599
Speaker 1: when you win the previous year, you've won your first title,

1418
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:33,960
Speaker 1: you may not make trades in the subsequent year where

1419
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 1: you're trying to take down the Empire Championship to avoid collusion.

1420
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:41,080
Speaker 1: To avoid collusion because I don't want to go to

1421
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 1: Nordo and go Nordo. I'm gonna win the Empire League.

1422
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 1: The Empire pot is at six thousand dollars. I'll give you.

1423
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 1: I'll give you if you send me all of your

1424
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:56,160
Speaker 1: good guys from winning. Okay, I see, So that's a

1425
01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:58,519
Speaker 1: very good point. Yeah, to make sure that there's no collusion,

1426
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 1: no trades. It makes it really tough to You can't

1427
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:03,400
Speaker 1: just try. You can't trust people anymore. Well, it's not.

1428
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 1: It makes it hard to. I mean you can't. You

1429
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 1: can't come in and just win two years in a row.

1430
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:12,599
Speaker 1: It's really difficult. No, that's a very good point. And uh,

1431
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,439
Speaker 1: order he said, you're not in an Empire League, want

1432
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 1: to join one? Sag dot com again, it's the sports

1433
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:26,160
Speaker 1: Hub conglomerate is basically what it is, Uh, let's get

1434
01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: to this. This is something that I'm interested in. You

1435
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:32,519
Speaker 1: have actually an even further variation of this, the Thievery League.

1436
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 1: So I looked this up last night. And so each matchup,

1437
01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 1: so every week you're matched up against the corn holes

1438
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 1: or whatever X y Z team that you're you're playing against,

1439
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:46,639
Speaker 1: whatever win whatever witty you know, pithy name that someone

1440
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:48,600
Speaker 1: has come up making fun of something or is just

1441
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:53,800
Speaker 1: blatantly sexual in nature, who knows. Uh. This Thievery variation

1442
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 1: is that each matchup, every week, the losing owner must

1443
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:02,839
Speaker 1: expose a player that they're They're winning opponent gets to swipe.

1444
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:06,040
Speaker 1: So for instance, and it's uh, it's it's in line

1445
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:09,280
Speaker 1: with the weak number of the NFL season. So I

1446
01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:12,360
Speaker 1: lose to a guy week one, that means I must

1447
01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:16,719
Speaker 1: expose one player to that person that they can take

1448
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 1: and then they I believe, I get some sort of

1449
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:23,360
Speaker 1: scrub back. Is what the situation is. If I lose

1450
01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:25,960
Speaker 1: in week three, this is where it gets juicy. I

1451
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:29,960
Speaker 1: got to expose three players, he gets to take one.

1452
01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:32,560
Speaker 1: I get a scrub back. Uh kind of fill me

1453
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 1: in on on the rest of that you did it.

1454
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:39,439
Speaker 1: So succinctly there is that, and uh yeah, this is

1455
01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:45,680
Speaker 1: pretty much a brand new considered and I'm going to

1456
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm excited for it. So if you're Week nine, Week ten,

1457
01:20:48,439 --> 01:20:50,360
Speaker 1: and you're on the grind at five hundred, trying to

1458
01:20:50,439 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 1: win two straight on the back end to make the playoffs,

1459
01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:55,720
Speaker 1: and you take an L, now suddenly you have to

1460
01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:59,160
Speaker 1: expose nine or ten of your team. Uh, that can

1461
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 1: get negative in a real hurry. Uh So the thievery

1462
01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:04,800
Speaker 1: leagues again, basically what I'm saying here with all of this,

1463
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:07,200
Speaker 1: get the fan ball dot com, get the League safe

1464
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 1: dot com because they have these variations at your fingertips

1465
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:12,120
Speaker 1: so that you can learn more and uh and even

1466
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:15,880
Speaker 1: participate in them and make make fantasy football even greater

1467
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:18,160
Speaker 1: uh than it already is. But you have this bit

1468
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:22,639
Speaker 1: vampire leagues. Yeah, that's where the real blood sucking to play.

1469
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:25,639
Speaker 1: I saw somebody pop off on Twitter about this this weekend,

1470
01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 1: and I thought it was kind of a fun idea.

1471
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 1: The idea was, in a twelve team draft, eleven teams

1472
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 1: get to draft, and the twelve team, the guy who

1473
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:38,639
Speaker 1: draws the short straw, does not get to draft at all.

1474
01:21:39,320 --> 01:21:42,240
Speaker 1: He's left out in the cold. He's the Vampire, but

1475
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 1: he gets to make a team of basically the waiver Wire.

1476
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:48,880
Speaker 1: He gets the Waiver Wire all Stars. He puts together

1477
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:51,920
Speaker 1: a team that way, so eleven teams draft short straw

1478
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 1: is vampire. Vampire has to wait until draft is done.

1479
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:59,040
Speaker 1: Then he picks up the table scraps from the wire. Exactly. Okay,

1480
01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:01,720
Speaker 1: So then let's say I'm the Vampire and I have

1481
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:05,360
Speaker 1: my crappy team in week very nocturnal, and and I'm

1482
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:09,759
Speaker 1: playing Eric in week one. Yes, if I beat Nordo,

1483
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:13,120
Speaker 1: it's very possible. I'm off with with with my team.

1484
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:16,120
Speaker 1: It's a bad team. I got a guy his starters

1485
01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 1: are exposed, and I get to swap one of my

1486
01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:21,759
Speaker 1: starters for his starters. And this is purely your choice.

1487
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 1: But if I if I can beat you as the Vampire,

1488
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:26,920
Speaker 1: so I get I I get to suck the blood

1489
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:29,559
Speaker 1: off of your team. So you can. You can choose

1490
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:33,200
Speaker 1: to start your best possible lineup every week, or you

1491
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:36,439
Speaker 1: could choose to not expose some of your better players,

1492
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:38,560
Speaker 1: Like say you have Todd Gurley and you're like, I

1493
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:40,920
Speaker 1: don't know if I like the matchup this week for Gurley,

1494
01:22:40,960 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 1: and I just don't want to expose him, so you

1495
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 1: don't play Todd Gurley giving me a better chance to win,

1496
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:49,880
Speaker 1: but giving you the opportunity to keep Todd Gurley on

1497
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 1: your roster. My god, I mean suddenly the Vampire gets

1498
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:56,439
Speaker 1: on a little bit of a role here. It could

1499
01:22:56,479 --> 01:22:59,599
Speaker 1: be interesting. People might be punting against the vampire every week.

1500
01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:03,679
Speaker 1: It just depends on how things go. Yeah, so that's

1501
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:08,040
Speaker 1: the that's the Vampire League. Um wow, that's very cool. Again,

1502
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:10,200
Speaker 1: I don't think the Vampire that's not like, that's not

1503
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:12,920
Speaker 1: a thing that you guys not necessarily endorsed. But that's

1504
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 1: not part of this is just one that I saw

1505
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 1: just recently and and I thought it was a fun idea.

1506
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:20,040
Speaker 1: Somebody came up with it on Twitter. I thought it

1507
01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 1: was just a cool way to play. Let me take

1508
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:26,160
Speaker 1: a call. So for every expert, every Matt Harrison at

1509

01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:35,680
Speaker 1: x J on Twitter, it's four letters. It's easy, just

1511
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 1: get him in order on Twitter. For every expert like

1512
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 1: you guys, Uh, there are casual fans like me that

1513
01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:43,680
Speaker 1: again just go off of the cheat sheet, cross her

1514
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:46,800
Speaker 1: fingers to get out alive. Uh, there's the John's and

1515
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:50,519
Speaker 1: Eden Prairie who have never done fantasy football. They want

1516
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:53,599
Speaker 1: to know where to start. What up, John? Hey, good morning,

1517
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:57,519
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. Hey, um, so you you

1518
01:23:57,720 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 1: described it well. I listened to you. I think it's

1519
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,640
Speaker 1: sounds like fun. But none of my buddies are into it,

1520
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:05,040
Speaker 1: and uh, I don't know much about it, but I'd

1521
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:08,160
Speaker 1: like to try it. So uh but when you say,

1522
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:10,599
Speaker 1: you know, the description of some of these things get

1523
01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 1: pretty complex, and I know that's not everyone. But nonetheless

1524
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm interested in doing it. But I don't want to

1525
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 1: lose my mortgage either, But you know what I mean.

1526
01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:20,120
Speaker 1: So I want a little guidance and how can I

1527
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:22,680
Speaker 1: get started? As a as a complete idiot? Where do

1528
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:25,240
Speaker 1: I go? How do I get started? I'm gonna let

1529
01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:27,719
Speaker 1: you go and then we'll we'll answer it on the arrow. Okay, John,

1530
01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 1: sounds good thing. So, if you're looking for a specific

1531
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 1: type of league and you just don't have the requisite

1532
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 1: friends to fill a twelve man league, first off, ask

1533
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 1: around to your office, say, hey, is anybody in a

1534
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:43,519
Speaker 1: fantasy league where you need an open spot? That's a

1535
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:45,720
Speaker 1: good way to start, because at least you kind of

1536
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 1: know some somebody in the league. And I always think

1537
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 1: it's fun to play with people. I know, um that

1538
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:53,599
Speaker 1: that's a good way to start. But I'm like John,

1539
01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: I don't have eleven friends to play fantasy football with,

1540
01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:59,240
Speaker 1: so I really gotta scrounged. I don't have eleven friends.

1541
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:04,080
Speaker 1: We mentioned, yeah, but say, safe leagues dot Com is

1542
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:06,719
Speaker 1: a great place to start because you can do redraft leagues,

1543
01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:10,160
Speaker 1: you can do Empire leagues, you can do the thievery leagues,

1544
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 1: in the guillotine leagues. We have all of those available

1545
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:15,120
Speaker 1: at safe leagues dot Com, ran by a real commissioner,

1546
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:19,479
Speaker 1: an impartial third party, Scott Fish, and he does a

1547
01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:23,040
Speaker 1: great job with them. They're they're clean, they're easy, they're

1548
01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 1: not super expensive. I think the lowest Empire league is

1549
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:27,720
Speaker 1: like thirty five bucks, so you're not gonna lose your

1550
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:34,240
Speaker 1: mortgage if it is something jealous. But but also at

1551
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:37,479
Speaker 1: League safe, uh, we created something called the League Safe

1552
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:39,800
Speaker 1: Classifies this year, and you go to League safe dot

1553
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:42,519
Speaker 1: com slash classifieds or just go to league safe dot

1554
01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:44,840
Speaker 1: com and you'll see the button for it, and it's

1555
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:48,880
Speaker 1: basically a classified list of I'm a commissioner, I need

1556
01:25:48,960 --> 01:25:51,160
Speaker 1: people in my league I've got I've got ten members

1557
01:25:51,200 --> 01:25:52,639
Speaker 1: in this league, and I need two more to get

1558
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 1: it going. And here's the options. There's multiple price levels.

1559
01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:58,880
Speaker 1: There's people doing ten dollar leagues. I saw some guy

1560
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:00,680
Speaker 1: with a two thousand dollar or league in there. The

1561
01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:02,360
Speaker 1: other there's got There's got to be at least a

1562
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:05,360
Speaker 1: couple of classifieds on safe leagues dot com that says

1563
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:11,719
Speaker 1: wanted person that has no experio fantasy, but a certain

1564
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 1: amount of discretionary income to provide, please come join this

1565
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:19,200
Speaker 1: league full of ringers. Uh, here's the email address. So

1566
01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:21,840
Speaker 1: the the answer John is really um, I mean you

1567
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:24,599
Speaker 1: can do there are there are very low cost leagues

1568
01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:26,840
Speaker 1: out there, and don't worry about the mortgage payment that's

1569
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,759
Speaker 1: in check. But whether it's playing with strangers to start

1570
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:32,640
Speaker 1: and luring your friends into the mix as well, that

1571
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:36,880
Speaker 1: doesn't sound good ling your friends, but but you are

1572
01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:39,880
Speaker 1: persuasion and just keep listening to this show. Yeah. Uh,

1573
01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:41,880
Speaker 1: listening to this show is a great way to learn

1574
01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 1: strategy and and also following people on Twitter, finding some

1575
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:49,400
Speaker 1: good fantasy people online. It's a great way to just

1576
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:52,599
Speaker 1: learn different things and see different stats and get things

1577
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:55,160
Speaker 1: that you just normally don't find in a magazine or

1578
01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:57,840
Speaker 1: something along those lines. So last thing again, I'm in

1579
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:00,200
Speaker 1: for Charchy and he'll be back in all of those things.

1580
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:02,400
Speaker 1: But one thing I'm always curious, you know, how you

1581
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:09,160
Speaker 1: guys handle are our situations where fantastic talents are injured

1582
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:13,360
Speaker 1: and how to really determine their value in the following season.

1583
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:15,519
Speaker 1: A couple of guys, you know, I look at and

1584
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:18,120
Speaker 1: it was mentioned earlier from the phone call. Didn't really

1585
01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:20,599
Speaker 1: dig too deep into it. But you have Deshaun Watson

1586
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:22,800
Speaker 1: post a c L and you love what he did

1587
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:25,439
Speaker 1: before he got hurt in Houston last year he's out

1588
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 1: David Johnson, I mean, absolutely incredible. Then he's out most

1589
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:31,840
Speaker 1: of last year. I think it was a risk or something.

1590
01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 1: And then he just he was on that he was

1591
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:36,400
Speaker 1: on the the I R with no playoff aspirations for

1592
01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:39,479
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, and then here in Minnesota he led the

1593
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:42,000
Speaker 1: league in rushing through three and a half games. Uh.

1594
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:44,800
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook comes up lame with the A c L.

1595
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 1: Now it sounds like he's full go and training camp

1596
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:50,240
Speaker 1: and stuff. That's very exciting for Vikings. Uh fans. Uh

1597
01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:52,120
Speaker 1: with just a you know, a couple of minutes left here,

1598
01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:54,160
Speaker 1: you guys, tell, how do you handle situations like that?

1599
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:56,599
Speaker 1: Maybe keen in on a guy like Dalvin Cook, who

1600
01:27:56,720 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 1: vikings fans are excited about to help win games, but

1601
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:01,640
Speaker 1: from a fan to see perspective when you're putting your

1602
01:28:01,680 --> 01:28:04,840
Speaker 1: money on the line as well. Yet, uh, you know,

1603
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 1: these scary knee injuries aren't as scary anymore the next year,

1604
01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:11,600
Speaker 1: especially when they're early in the season. Cook was like

1605
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:15,240
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, Allen Robinson, they got injured early on. You

1606
01:28:15,280 --> 01:28:17,360
Speaker 1: know they're they're basically good to go. There might be

1607
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:19,760
Speaker 1: a little rust there, but I'm not too worried about it. Uh.

1608
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:24,840
Speaker 1: You know David Johnson, so there's really no concern for

1609
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:26,640
Speaker 1: him with me at all. His rist is fine, his

1610
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:30,240
Speaker 1: legs are fine. So yeah, Really, you get a good

1611
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 1: discount on guys like coming back from injury like that

1612
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:35,400
Speaker 1: because the recency bias and so many people adhere to

1613
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:39,000
Speaker 1: which the they shouldn't. But the tough thing is the

1614
01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:42,320
Speaker 1: quarterback situation. And I know it's Deshaun Watson and it's

1615
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:48,800
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz very similar. Well, Lux had a little time

1616
01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 1: to recover, we hope. But of the top five quarterbacks,

1617
01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:56,839
Speaker 1: three of them in a DP right now. With Watson

1618
01:28:56,880 --> 01:29:00,559
Speaker 1: Wentz and Aaron Rodgers missed a significant part of last

1619
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:03,879
Speaker 1: season due to injury, but they're still all being drafted

1620
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:07,560
Speaker 1: in the top five. So what average draft position a

1621
01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:10,559
Speaker 1: DP tells me is people don't believe it. People are

1622
01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:12,600
Speaker 1: going to draft them anyway because of their talent and

1623
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 1: their upside. Thirty seconds left as we finalize this show here, um,

1624
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:20,000
Speaker 1: give me one sleeper a piece. I'll start with you,

1625
01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:22,200
Speaker 1: Matt one Sleeper. I know we left a lot on

1626
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:24,720
Speaker 1: the table today and I'm sorry, wait Sleeper, before we go,

1627
01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:26,680
Speaker 1: we did. I kind of mentioned this guy earlier in

1628
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:28,800
Speaker 1: the show, and it's Tyler Eiffort. He missed almost the

1629
01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:31,680
Speaker 1: entire season with a back injury last year. Tons of

1630
01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:34,560
Speaker 1: red zone touchdowns. He's a big red zone guy, and

1631
01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 1: the Bengals throw a lot in the red zone. So yeah,

1632
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:40,559
Speaker 1: I'm loving Manny Sanders in Denver. He's Keenom's a huge

1633
01:29:40,640 --> 01:29:43,479
Speaker 1: upgrade for Damarius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. We saw him

1634
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:46,760
Speaker 1: support to top fifteen wide receivers in Minnesota, and uh,

1635
01:29:47,080 --> 01:29:50,120
Speaker 1: you get Manny Sanders three rounds later than Damarus Thomas

1636
01:29:50,160 --> 01:29:52,280
Speaker 1: and they both have both have average and have targets

1637
01:29:52,320 --> 01:29:54,439
Speaker 1: per game over the last three years, equal opportunity, but

1638
01:29:54,680 --> 01:29:57,599
Speaker 1: Sanders much cheaper. He'll be a top twenty four wide receiver,

1639
01:29:57,720 --> 01:30:01,000
Speaker 1: going wide receiver thirty three right now to uh, there's

1640
01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:03,200
Speaker 1: not enough time to unload the brain power that you

1641
01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:05,160
Speaker 1: guys have. Thank you for letting me fill in for
