<v Speaker 1>into the show. Now, here's your host. It's Fantasy Football Weekly.

0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I am Paul Charchy and co host today is Ryan Johnson.

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:31.479
<v Speaker 1>What's up charge. I am happy to report I was

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 1>not pulled over on the way over here today the

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.600
<v Speaker 1>last time. That's all right, exactly. I gotta I got

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:41.160
<v Speaker 1>a parking ticket since we talked last. They still get

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>those out, they do, and you know it's you know,

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.560
<v Speaker 1>they used the electronic app for the parking spots in

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.919
<v Speaker 1>Minneapolis downtown Minneapolis. So I'd set it for two hours

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>and I'm at a concert and then I can feel

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>my phone buzz after two hours, which is it notifying me, Hey,

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 1>your time is out? Do you want to re up it?

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 1>But the act that I'm seeing had the lead singer

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 1>and said we're gonna play two more songs. So I'm like,

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm asking it. Yeah, came out bang ticket right there,

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.119
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, you must have just written it, because

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>it was it was like ten twelve minutes later, House

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>always wins hot sees. How much does a parking ticket

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>go for these days? You know, I'm not positive. Ye

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I haven't paid it yet, but I'm bracing for like

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>eighty five bucks, which is my it's my hunch as

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>to what it will cost. Can I tell you a

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:32.679
<v Speaker 1>quick parking ticket story? Uh? So it's the off season.

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I hate to admit this, but uh, I grew up

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.319
<v Speaker 1>in New Jersey. So summertimes in New Jersey go to

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 1>the ocean, of course, and so people yeah, no, I

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 1>would go there. That basically hell it was then, and

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>it was. It's not the nicer part of the shore

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion anyway. What people would do, and I

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>may have done it once, is uh all the good.

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>You see someone with a parking ticket, you take that

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>and you call it on your car. It always like

0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 1>a nine. They weren't. Really that's sneaky, you know. I

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>think something did it to me. So that's how I

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 1>learned about them, Like, well, I gotta gotta you gotta

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>pay it forward. Is that pay you forward? Is that

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>paying it backwards? Question? Think you're paying that backwards. But

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.639
<v Speaker 1>there's my penance. I got it off my chest with them. Wow,

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.639
<v Speaker 1>so somebody took your ticket, moved it onto their car.

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>You don't even know you got the ticket. Then you

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 1>get pulled over two years later like you got an

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>outstanding ward for your rest likething about this. I hope

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.640
<v Speaker 1>that guy's not listening to it would be funny if

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 1>somebody was. If you were that guy that got a

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>ticket that you didn't know about on the Jersey Shore,

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:43.839

<v Speaker 1>subscribe to that. Okay, let's dive into our ala Vera players.

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I've got five, you've got four, so I will go first,

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 1>begin at the quarterback position, and Derek Carr he burned

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 1>you last year. He was a quarterback thirteen, which actually

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>was about where he was drafted and maybe even little

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:26.280
<v Speaker 1>higher than where he was drafted. But he only had

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the twenty three touchdowns. That's very Teddy Bridgewater and you know,

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>for comparison, Taylor Heinek and twenty in a partial season,

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Derek Card twenty three. But the reason I'm very optimistic

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.280
<v Speaker 1>he threw the fifth most passes last year and had

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 1>the fifth most yards. They had almost a five thousand

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>yard passing season, Brian and of course obviously the new weapons. Right,

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>So I mean last year he managed to get the

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 1>fifth most yards out of Hunter Renfroze, A Jones and

0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:00.719
<v Speaker 1>Brian Edwards missing his top two weapons and Foster Moreau

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 1>tight end for a lot of the year, and yet

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.839
<v Speaker 1>he was still able to get to the fifth most yards.

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>So now he gets Davante Adams, the league's most prolific

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 1>scoring receiver. And I think the touchdowns jumped from twenty

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.359
<v Speaker 1>three to what do you think for for Derek Carr?

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Where can that touchdown? We all everybody thinks the touchdowns

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>are gonna go up? How far up? I said a

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 1>conservative floor at thirty five. But he has forty plus

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 1>upside for sure if I think they remains healthy, right, yeah,

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>And he does have forty upside the way the way

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Renfroe came on and like he said, Davante Adams now

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Derren Bawlers healthy. Yeah, I mean it's Enyan Drake. I

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.600
<v Speaker 1>know he's not nearly his lethal weapon, but he missed

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 1>most of last year. He's a great receiving back. So yeah,

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 1>they all stay healthy. So even if Cars somehow doesn't

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>have even with all these new weapons, let's just say

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 1>he's still has the fifth most yards passing. I don't

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.599
<v Speaker 1>need that to change. I just need the touchdowns to change.

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 1>And I think he gets into the mid thirties and

0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>that turns it into what should be closer to QB

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>five Q'B six this year for Derek carr Our first

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:08.680
<v Speaker 1>alo vera player. Who do you have next? I'm going

0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver? And Alan Robinson who finished like wide receiver

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:17.920
<v Speaker 1>one hundred last year. Just a brutal season for Robinson

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:19.840
<v Speaker 1>with the Bears. He did miss five games, but he

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 1>played in twelve. That's enough to uh qualify him which

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.839
<v Speaker 1>she should not be receiver one hundred on twelve games

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:27.919
<v Speaker 1>played as a starting receiver in the NFL and just

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>sixties six targets in those twelve games. That's five and

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.719
<v Speaker 1>a half per game. Uh. It was just again just

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.039
<v Speaker 1>a bad, bad year for a rob But you know

0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:39.159
<v Speaker 1>who else was bad the Bears from top to bottom,

0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.920
<v Speaker 1>from that naggy to the quarterback situation. Whether there's Andy

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Dalton justin fields in his rookie year. But Robinson doesn't

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 1>have to worry about that anymore because now he is

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 1>on the Rams where he'll jump right in as l

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 1>a's second wide receiver alongside Cooper Cup. Of course, Robert

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Woods now in Tennessee Odell Beckham on the men from

0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 1>the torn Achilles or a c L I didn't recall

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 1>at the top of my head. He might. He might

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.840
<v Speaker 1>even be resigned by the Rams, So he's of no

0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:08.279
<v Speaker 1>concern here. Uh So, Woods and Beckham they combined for

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and seventeen targets last year, basically splitting that

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 1>time and a half. Yet, and uh I think that's

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 1>a safe estimate for for Alan Robinson. Will you give

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>him a hundred seventeen targets? He ought to be able

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:25.360
<v Speaker 1>to catch seventy five to eighty of those targets and

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 1>now it's game on for Robinson. That puts him into

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>the thousand yard territory. Yeah, Robert Woods was wide receiver

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.520
<v Speaker 1>twelve in weeks one through nine before he was injured.

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Then from weeks twelve to the end of the season,

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 1>after Odell Beckham was traded to the Rams. He was

0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver thirteen, so I would not have guessed he

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 1>was quite that high. Robinson, he does turn twenty nine

0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>in August, but he has some gas left in the tank.

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 1>And you know he's excited because he has never played

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.440
<v Speaker 1>with a quarterback anywhere near the level of Matthew Staffords.

0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna be like, what is this spiral that's coming

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 1>my way? Oh my god, it's right in the numbers.

0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 1>What do I do to be psyched? I'm excited for

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 1>him because he's an elite talent. It was still is.

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I think there's an outside chance maybe even outproduces teammate

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Cooper Cup this year. Who knows. I think he has

0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 1>that potential. I mean, I don't know. I didn't do that.

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm one based on ADP. I mean, you're you know

0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Cooper Cup. He's like, yeahs going off the board in

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 1>the first five picks of if it's super flexed. Maybe

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 1>a little bit later, but yeah, one quarterback leaves and

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Robinson is, uh going fourth round now. He was like

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>ninth round before the trade. So if you're drafting early

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 1>like me and scooping up robins and you're you're feeling

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. My next alo Vera player is Kenny Golladay,

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 1>who Dave Getleman's departing gift to Giants fans was Golladay's

0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:49.960
<v Speaker 1>horrific contract, counting seventy one million over four years, and

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.679
<v Speaker 1>he was brutal last year. In fact, the last two

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 1>years have been tough. Two years ago in Detroit it

0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 1>was just a lost season due to injury. But last

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 1>year Ken Golladay only missed three games and somehow finished

0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:09.840
<v Speaker 1>as wide receiver eight six with zero touchdowns, scored zero

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.959
<v Speaker 1>who he only had one game over sixty four yards

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and none topping fifty three yards after Week four. It's

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 1>just Golladay was unstartable, as it turned out, for most

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 1>of the season. So why will he get any better?

0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.040
<v Speaker 1>For Golliday, we've established that he burned you last year.

0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.320
<v Speaker 1>How will he be an al o Vera player. Well, first,

0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna roll into this year fully healthy, unlike last year.

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 1>He rolled into last year hurt and he played like

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 1>somebody who was playing hurt all year long. Golladay has

0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 1>got the history of the soft tissue injuries let's just

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 1>hope that doesn't come back, but he will be healthy.

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 1>At this point, he's gets a presumed massive upgrade in

0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 1>coaching from Joe Judge and Jason Garrett to Brian Dable,

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 1>who's obviously been able to get great years out of

0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers like Stefan dig former Bill's offensive course An. Yet, yes,

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 1>and Kenny Golliday is a good receiver. I mean, there's

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 1>only two seasons removed from a twelve hundred yard eleven

0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:14.720
<v Speaker 1>touchdown season on a three win Lions team, So it's

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 1>only Colliday is suddenly a bad receiver. And he's still young,

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 1>by the way, So there's if you believe Golliday is

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 1>still can be a good player who's now healthy, and

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 1>that this offense is going to get better with better coaching,

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 1>there's a ton of upside for Kenny Golladay. I agree,

0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 1>And uh, you know what, why don't we just stay

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>with the New York Football Giants Because he was gonna say,

0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 1>but I know where you're going with on my list.

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 1>You finished outside uh the top running backs, probably maybe

0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 1>even outside the top thirty forty. A lot went wrong

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 1>for him, but really it was it was his first

0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 1>year off the form a c L and usually running

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.839
<v Speaker 1>backs take two years to return to form, so that

0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 1>would be that would be this year. And he also

0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.000
<v Speaker 1>did get injured last year, but it's not like it

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:02.720
<v Speaker 1>wasn't his knee and it's not like he's injury prone.

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 1>It was a fluke stepped on his own teammates ankle

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:09.360
<v Speaker 1>on a run and so high sprain Dingdom and le.

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.199
<v Speaker 1>Let's not forget the team he played for. The Giants

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:14.080
<v Speaker 1>were a disaster with Dave Gettleman in charge and Sean

0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Payton is the offensive coordinator. Just just a nightmare Payton,

0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.839
<v Speaker 1>But that's okay. He was on the o C. Sean Payton,

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.320
<v Speaker 1>the old head coach for the Saints. No, well, my

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Jason Garrett, they're both very dislikable in my mind. I'm sorry,

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Jason Garrett, that brain fart there. But the old line

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 1>was brutal for the Giants. But they did address that

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 1>in the draft. They took tackle Evan Neal with the

0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.720
<v Speaker 1>seventh overall pick. Like that guard Joshua Easy, you do

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.760
<v Speaker 1>think I got that right with the sixty seven overall

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.520
<v Speaker 1>pick in the third round, and uh, like you said,

0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:50.280
<v Speaker 1>new head coach Brian Dable very offensive minded and uh,

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Barkley says he feels good. I believe him. I think

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna go into this season at and uh, they

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.720
<v Speaker 1>need to showcase him because they again they pretty much

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 1>put all the all the chips in the middle of

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.559
<v Speaker 1>the table when they drafted him sech second overall four

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 1>years and no real competition for carries there in New York,

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:11.400
<v Speaker 1>the only guy, so they didn't draft any notable rookies. Uh,

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.160
<v Speaker 1>it came on. I think he catches a lot of

0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 1>passes this year, and that's where I think he's going

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 1>to be a very safe PPR player, Say Kwon Barkley.

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.680
<v Speaker 1>This year, he was with you, you know, early best

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Ball drafts going mid late third. Now he's creeping up

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 1>mid early second. And I think we might see him

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 1>one spectacular to run in a preseason game. And he's

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 1>like right back in that spectacular runs. Let's be clear

0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.760
<v Speaker 1>about this, sa Kwon Barkley, who we haven't seen a

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.959
<v Speaker 1>spectacular run in two years. You gotta go back three seasons.

0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 1>But his first year year and a half in the league,

0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 1>he was the closest thing to Barry Sanders I've seen

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.960
<v Speaker 1>since Barry Sanders and They'll never be another Barry Sanders,

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 1>but he was as elusive and dynamic as any running

0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.360
<v Speaker 1>back we've seen. He ran away with Rookie of the

0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Year his rookie season. He was awesome. And while I

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:05.079
<v Speaker 1>don't know that will ever be that again after all

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.920
<v Speaker 1>of these injuries, but even if he's like of that,

0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.000
<v Speaker 1>he'd still be a special back in this league. And

0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:14.000
<v Speaker 1>let's just hope healthy now Saqwan Barkley can go back

0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 1>to being that player. He is our fourth Alivera player.

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's move on to the next al Overa player, and

0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:27.080
<v Speaker 1>that is Miles Sanders. Do we call this the A

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:32.160
<v Speaker 1>V Club? Oh? I got you now, the A V

0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.760
<v Speaker 1>I'd like it. I like it. Miles Sanders. He burned

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 1>people last year by somehow managers scores zero touchdowns on

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:44.440
<v Speaker 1>sixty touches, which is not good. H He scored six

0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 1>times the year before that on almost identical touches, And

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.960
<v Speaker 1>let me just explain the difference that six touchdowns make.

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.320
<v Speaker 1>He had almost identical touches and yards two seasons ago

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.719
<v Speaker 1>to what he had last year. But because he did

0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.520
<v Speaker 1>not score last year, he was RB forty four with

0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 1>just the six touchdowns, which isn't that much. He was

0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 1>RB twenty two the year before that, again on a

0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 1>on almost identical touches and yards. So Sanders has it

0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:15.280
<v Speaker 1>in him to be a good back running back worthy

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:19.160
<v Speaker 1>of twenty two. Uh Now, last year, Jordan Howard and

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Boston Scott combined for twenty carries inside the five. Jordan

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Howard's not on the team, and Boston Scott is one

0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:32.600
<v Speaker 1>of the most unlikely goal linebacks I've ever seen. He's

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.000
<v Speaker 1>five ft two, He's just just such a little guy.

0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 1>You just it seems like that's not a role that

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.160
<v Speaker 1>he's going to be able to be consistently good in.

0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Although I'll say he converted his twelve inside the five

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 1>carries into six touchdowns, which is a good conversion rate

0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 1>you're looking for on those inside the five carries, and

0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Sanders did get six touches from inside the five and

0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:01.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't score any. So part is worrying, But it doesn't

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 1>mean that Sanders can't score. He almost has to score

0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 1>more touchdowns, and touchdowns are coming. I'm not sitting he

0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna sit here and say it's gonna get ten touchdowns.

0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to get back to six touchdowns again

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.080
<v Speaker 1>and keep doing all the other stuff that he had done.

0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Kenneth Gainwell did not look like a threat last year.

0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Boston Scott's only gonna siphon off so much work. Still

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 1>like Miles Sanders as a aloe Vera player. One other

0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.520
<v Speaker 1>thing Sanders has going for him is it is his

0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 1>contract year and he's not a guarantee to get resigned

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.040
<v Speaker 1>by Philly, and he might get that. DeMarco Murray run

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 1>him into the ground treatment, take that, get the most

0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>usage he can out of him, then kick him to

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:39.280
<v Speaker 1>the curb. Who is your next aloe Vera player? I'm

0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:43.160
<v Speaker 1>going seedee lamb Who I love this finished wide receiver

0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty in PPR last year. That's not bad, but it's

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.920
<v Speaker 1>not great and people were expecting great. But uh he

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 1>was competing uh for targets with the Marii Cooper, Michael Gallup,

0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Cedric Wilson, Dalton Schultz. Now I was of right now

0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.760
<v Speaker 1>and likely to start the season. Schultz is the only

0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 1>one of those guys left to compete UH targets. UH.

0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Marii Cooper is now in Cleveland, Michael Gallup very unlikely

0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:08.360
<v Speaker 1>to be ready week one, Cedric Wilson in Miami. Uh

0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:11.480
<v Speaker 1>so at wide receiver. We're just looking at James Washington

0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.120
<v Speaker 1>right now and rookie Jaln Tilbert, who I like. But

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:18.040
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna feed Ceedee Lamb a whole lot more. And

0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 1>one thing I would love to see them do is

0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.640
<v Speaker 1>increase his usage in the slot. He only took about

0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 1>a third of his snaps from the slot last year,

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:29.120
<v Speaker 1>but when he did, uh, I'm his biggest games came

0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 1>when he saw at least sixteen snaps from the slot.

0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 1>He had two touchdowns a hundred forty nine yards against

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots, two touchdowns ninety four yards against Atlanta, hundred

0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:39.240
<v Speaker 1>and four yards in a touchdown against Tampa Bay. That's

0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:42.320
<v Speaker 1>when he was seeing at least half of his snaps

0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:44.760
<v Speaker 1>from the slot. And I think they're saying they planned

0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 1>to do that more, move him around more. So I

0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.280
<v Speaker 1>think Seedee Lamb's sitting on a monster year wide receiver.

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:52.360
<v Speaker 1>One potential for sure, I've got him right now is

0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:55.040
<v Speaker 1>my number four ranked wide receiver. I think that I

0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 1>think he could lead the league in targets Ceedee Lamb.

0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Love him to bounce back into of way here in

0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:05.160
<v Speaker 1>this is third season. Well, since you were talking about

0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 1>a Dallas wide receiver. Let me go to a former

0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Dallas wide receiver, Amari Cooper, who burned people last year

0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:15.240
<v Speaker 1>by playing hurt most of last season and his numbers

0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 1>plunged just sixty eight receptions for eight hundred fifty yards.

0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:23.640
<v Speaker 1>He did have eight touchdowns, which which salvaged his season somewhat.

0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, in Dallas, Amari Cooper was always a hit

0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:30.159
<v Speaker 1>and miss fantasy producer. But you know, he's always been

0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:33.760
<v Speaker 1>sharing a lot of targets with guys like Ceedee lamp Um.

0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 1>He's the only game in town in Cleveland he is competing,

0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.880
<v Speaker 1>which if you can't hear those air quotes, assume they're there.

0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:44.439
<v Speaker 1>Um for targets with Donovan People's Jones, David Bell, and

0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Schwartz. That's it. There is no number one receiver

0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:54.240
<v Speaker 1>that has less competition across the whole league for balls

0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:58.080
<v Speaker 1>than Amari Cooper will have. He is so much better

0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:01.240
<v Speaker 1>than every receiver on the Browns. It's, you know, unless

0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:05.359
<v Speaker 1>David Bell turns out to be amazing in his rookie season, um,

0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:09.679
<v Speaker 1>and unless David and Joeku just like explodes, and maybe

0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.000
<v Speaker 1>he will. They paid him like he should, but he's

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.199
<v Speaker 1>never done anything to suggest that he'll take a lot

0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.560
<v Speaker 1>of balls away from Mary Cooper. So I love Cooper here,

0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I wish his quarterback was situation was a little bit

0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:24.359
<v Speaker 1>more settled. But let's remember Jecobie Pricette was able to

0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:27.680
<v Speaker 1>feed Jalen Waddle last year for a town of targets,

0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:30.920
<v Speaker 1>and so while they may not be the best targets

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.960
<v Speaker 1>in the world just by sheer quantity, I think Amari

0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:35.679
<v Speaker 1>Cooper sitting on a very good year and we know

0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:39.200
<v Speaker 1>that he can be a very good and talented receiver. Agreed,

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:44.719
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to your final al o Vera player. All right,

0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm going back to Uh. Well, you were talking about

0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:49.639
<v Speaker 1>an Eagle before, and I've got one for you. It's

0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Dallas Goddard, who finished tight end eight last year, which

0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:55.879
<v Speaker 1>wasn't awful, but he was kind of just it was

0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 1>a big difference between the top five guys, even if

0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:01.199
<v Speaker 1>you're eight, nine ten. People were expecting a little more

0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:04.760
<v Speaker 1>from him. But uh again, last year, zach Ertz was

0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:07.320
<v Speaker 1>an Eagle for about half the season, and after he

0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.200
<v Speaker 1>was traded to Arizona. That should have theoretically helped god Heart,

0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:12.119
<v Speaker 1>but it also threw a wrench in that offense. I

0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:13.680
<v Speaker 1>think because they were kind of like a two tight

0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:17.800
<v Speaker 1>end system with only one viable wide receiver who was

0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:21.240
<v Speaker 1>a rookie, and that's DeVante Smith. Uh of course, and

0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Goddart never saw a heavy volume at all, just seventies

0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:27.479
<v Speaker 1>six targets all year. He was also often banged up,

0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:29.639
<v Speaker 1>missed two games and just looked like he was playing

0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:32.680
<v Speaker 1>hurt the majority of them. But he'll be healthy again

0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:36.280
<v Speaker 1>going to the season. There are definitely viable wide receivers

0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:39.280
<v Speaker 1>now with A. J. Brown and Devonte Smith going to

0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.800
<v Speaker 1>his second year. I'm in on Jalen Hurts. I think

0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:44.520
<v Speaker 1>he's passing one proof and he he's bulked up big time.

0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:46.159
<v Speaker 1>By the way, you just see the recent picture of

0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I want that in my quarterback though.

0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you want he was at quarterback? I got, I got.

0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I got big aspirations for Jalen Hurts, But anyway, I

0:19:57.760 --> 0:19:59.879
<v Speaker 1>also have big aspirations for Dallas Goddard. I think he's

0:19:59.920 --> 0:20:02.720
<v Speaker 1>got top five potential. All the metrics were there for

0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:05.240
<v Speaker 1>him last year despite the little I mean, the low volume,

0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:07.760
<v Speaker 1>but all the metrics were there. He averaged two point

0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:10.960
<v Speaker 1>two points per target in PPR leagues. That is great.

0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:13.960
<v Speaker 1>He was second in yards per reception at fourteen point

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.760
<v Speaker 1>nine among all tight ends. He was first in yards

0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:19.879
<v Speaker 1>per route run. He led all tight ends and completed

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:25.000
<v Speaker 1>air yards per target. So Alice Goddard kind of burned

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:30.120
<v Speaker 1>you last year. It would be very soothing informer this season,

0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:36.160
<v Speaker 1>our final al o Vera player Brian is Kareem Hunt. Uh,

0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:38.879
<v Speaker 1>in and out of the lineup, hurt healthy, hurt healthy,

0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:43.920
<v Speaker 1>hurt healthy, kind of like the same teams but probably

0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:47.840
<v Speaker 1>probably um but and by the way, finishes RB forty

0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:49.680
<v Speaker 1>six last year. Uh. And I think there are a

0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:51.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of people that did get burned by Kareem Hunt

0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:53.720
<v Speaker 1>last season. It's who started, by the way first, like

0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:55.560
<v Speaker 1>five games he was great. He had like five touchdowns

0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:57.680
<v Speaker 1>in five games, and you know, it looked it looked

0:20:57.680 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 1>like it was gonna be a really nice season for Honda.

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Then they'll just you know, inconsistent play. I don't think

0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:05.720
<v Speaker 1>he scored again after those five games and uh, and

0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:09.919
<v Speaker 1>then the injuries mounted. But he averaged a very solid

0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:14.760
<v Speaker 1>thirteen PPR points per game last year. The receiving always

0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:17.359
<v Speaker 1>helps him, and he ran for just under five yards

0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:19.440
<v Speaker 1>per carry four point nine yards per carry and a

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:23.639
<v Speaker 1>whopping three and a half yards after contact. For Kareem Hunt,

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.639
<v Speaker 1>he runs behind one of the league's best offensive lines.

0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Is PFF grade puts him at a tie at seventeen

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:34.360
<v Speaker 1>among qualified runners, which is pretty good. It's a contract

0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:37.080
<v Speaker 1>here for Kareem Hunt, so he'll be playing with a

0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:39.119
<v Speaker 1>head of steam as he tries to get paid again.

0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 1>And while some people have raised the possibility that he

0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:47.119
<v Speaker 1>could get cut, and I think we should address that

0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:48.760
<v Speaker 1>because they would save six and a half a million

0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:51.680
<v Speaker 1>if they cut him. Uh and Dearness Johnson is sort

0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:53.760
<v Speaker 1>of like a Kareem Hunt light and maybe they really

0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:55.600
<v Speaker 1>like him, so I guess there's a possibility of that.

0:21:55.640 --> 0:21:59.320
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I just think Kareem Hunt brings a

0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:01.960
<v Speaker 1>lot to the table, especially from a PPR standpoint, because

0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:04.399
<v Speaker 1>he is good for those you know, three or four catches.

0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:07.199
<v Speaker 1>They even throw inside the ten yard line, inside the

0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:10.479
<v Speaker 1>red zone to cream Hunt a fair amount. And if

0:22:10.520 --> 0:22:13.440
<v Speaker 1>he does get cut, I mean wherever he ends up,

0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:17.520
<v Speaker 1>what if it's like Houston, like that would be yeah, ideal.

0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:20.560
<v Speaker 1>It really as much as Damian pierces my he's one

0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:23.600
<v Speaker 1>of my favorite sleepers that I still think they would

0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:26.719
<v Speaker 1>probably give hunting starting job over Damon Piters, but who knows.

0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I think you're right there. You go alo vera players.

0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Nine players that can bring you a soothing sense of

0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:37.760
<v Speaker 1>relief from last year's burning that they each gave you.

0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:41.120
<v Speaker 1>We like all of these guys, Brian, thank you, appreciate
