The love Dr 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.640 Donnie Burns and Speeds the Spitting Statistician Here on a 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.200 Monday on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Fantasy freest I'll 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:16.080 come all right back, let's go. Welcome back to the 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.959 Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Copy 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:22.800 Boy Dane Martinez Speeds the Spitting Statistician, Holding you down 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:24.760 and I got my boy Donnie Burns with me on 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.320 the ones in twos back after a little bit of 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.360 a break. We had the Night Owl and for a 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.760 bunch of last week. But Donnie Burns is back. He 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:33.720 has a percent, and he is ready to be so 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.400 hot that we sweat steam. Let's get into our starting 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.880 lineup and we start with news and notes from around 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:44.000 Major League Baseball. Listen, dynasty owners, season long owners, fans 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.040 of the Los Angeles Dodgers, this is bad news for 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.440 us that broke over the weekend. Didn't have a chance 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.360 to explain to you guys. Starting pitcher Julio Urius, the 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.640 stud who has been the prize jewel of the Dargers 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.600 form system for a while, he is going to have 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.560 surgery on his shoulder and missed the next twelve to 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.240 fourteen months. The question is, if you haven't been a 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.119 dynasty league, do you hold him because you think he'll 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.960 be back for the second half of next year. As 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:12.480 I reported at the top of the show, if you 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:14.360 listen to the news update at the top of the hour, 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:19.440 the Washington Nationals have signed k rod Francisco Rodriguez. Listen. 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.160 I have been telling you guys for a while that 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.279 the Nationals were in the market for a closer. I 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.360 told you they were looking at people like Brad hand. 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.040 I told you they were looking at people like David 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:34.160 Robertson and others. Pat Nie Shack, for example. Maybe k 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.719 Rod is the guy they signed him to a minor 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.919 league contract, but listen, he's gonna be up with the 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.760 big club right away. This very much hurts guys like 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.400 code to Glover, Sean Kelly and others that they have 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:49.040 been using in the revolving door in that role. The 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.640 Yankees made a couple of roster moves today as well. 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.200 Aaron Hicks, who has been hot, has been moved to 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.880 the ten day d L because of the oblique issue 0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:00.919 he has, but he will be replaced by returning Jacobe Ellsbury. 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:04.480 Ellsbury coming back off the concussion d L today. Madison 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.599 bum Gardner is starting to have rehab starts. Okay, he 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.039 was very strong in his first rehab start. He went 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.480 three no hit innings. But the issue is his fastball 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.520 has to be still built back up. He was sitting 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.839 between eight and ninety one. We also have some people 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.159 returning from the d L this week. The Indians have 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.719 activated Michael Brantley from the d L. Remember he was 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:29.160 on paternity leave then had an ankle issue. He's back 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.479 on the active roster, but is not in the starting 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:36.880 lineup tonight for the Indians. Uh. Carlos Gonzalez breaking news. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:38.720 He is also going to the d L for the 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:43.320 Colorado Rockies. He has a shoulder injury as well. Last 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.400 piece I'll give you later on this week. You could 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:49.520 expect the debut this season of Carlos Rodon, been battling 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.360 a bicep injury. Finally gonna come back for the Childe 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:56.800 Socks to debut against the Yankees on Wednesday. That is 0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:00.080 going to be a very interesting start. Rodon might be 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:04.599 another guy who could be uh pursued by teams at 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.600 the trading deadline. All right, I's going to the starting 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:11.120 lineup here. I gave you guys all weekend long, and 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.560 if you listen to me, you probably made a little 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.359 bit of cash. On Friday, I told you that Archer 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.080 and Stroudsburg were probably the chalk because they were the 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.159 most expensive. But I gave you a guy to beat 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.960 him with, and hopefully you listen to me, because Stroudsburg 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.080 did not have a good outing on Friday. He gave 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.719 up five runs in five innings. That's not what you 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.520 want to see. Archer also gave up four runs. He 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:35.080 did go seven, struck out only four. Gotta win. But 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.440 I told you that the guy to go with was 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.159 Alex Would. I told you Alex Would had been hot. 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.800 I told you Alex Would has been on fire since 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:46.120 late April. Had won six of his last seven starts. 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.640 Now you can make that seven out of eight. I 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.080 told you that he had struck out fifty eight guys 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.800 in his last forty eight innings. Well, he kept that 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:57.080 pace up, going six innings and striking out seven, only 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.880 giving up one run as the Dodgers won six to 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.760 one on Friday night. On Saturday, listen, I told you 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:05.840 it was Ace Day and there was some chalk, and 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:10.080 boy did they continue to perform. Corey Kluber seven shutout 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.800 innings with thirteen k's I was on that. I also 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:17.000 Clayton Kershaw. Obviously, he had six shutout innings, struck out 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.559 eight as the Dodgers won. For nothing, guys, I told 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.040 you though, that could be interesting. I told you that 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:26.920 Garrett Cole has been better recently. He went six innings, 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.080 giving up only one run. Striking out five as the 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:33.080 Pirates beat the Cardinals seven to three. Also, Garrett Cole 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.520 maybe pitching for his next team. Okay, he's a guy 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.280 who was probably on the trade block and may move 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.600 in the next month. I also told you that I 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:44.760 liked Lance mccullor's and his return from the d l 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.320 against Seattle. He only went five, but did strike out eight, 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.760 only giving up a run as the Astros one on 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.880 Saturday five to two. And then, listen, I've been saying 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:57.040 it all season long. My man Robbie Ray went on Saturday. 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.520 He didn't have the strikeouts that he usually does, surprising 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:02.560 because he was facing the Phillies, not a lineup that 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:04.880 scares you. He did, however, go six and a third, 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.720 gave up only two, struck out five as the Diamondbacks 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:13.080 one on Saturday nine to two. Yesterday, Listen, I didn't 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.840 know Brad Peacock's wife was gonna have a kid. Okay. 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.080 I told you that Brad Peacock was someone with swing 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.480 and miss stuff, and that he was getting stretched out, 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.720 going longer and longer. I thought he might have gone 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:26.520 six innings, but instead, No One won six innings for 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.600 the Astros on Sunday. They played it as a bullpen game. 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.640 It ultimately worked for them, but hey, it wasn't. Brad Peacock. 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:35.760 His start has been pushed back, but we do want 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.000 to hear at the Fantasy Freestyle congratulate him on the 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.760 birth of a child tonight. And if you will listen 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.400 to the DFS lineup block, you know there is not 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.400 many places to go. It is only a six game slate, 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.120 and you got two big time matchups. You got Burials 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.160 Vers Sale in Boston and then you got Hammill's Verse 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.600 Carrasco in Cleveland. Those are the guys that are highest 0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:00.000 up on the board eleven thousand, seven hundred for sale 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.520 and both Hamils and Carrasco are over nine thousand. I 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.040 say there are places you can go. I wouldn't mind 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:10.000 a guy like Jeff so Marja or Raman Marquez. Okay, 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.280 that game that's happening in San Francisco tonight. I would 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.240 rather go there for my starters as opposed to these 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:22.000 games in uh Boston or in Cleveland. But hey, that's 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.640 just me. I do want to bring up, though, one 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.320 extra point that was a story from over the weekend 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.560 that I think is interesting because you know, here we 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.040 talk about everything, not only how to help you win 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:34.840 net cash, but also the news and notes that are 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:38.920 out there. I found this situation with um Roberto Ozuna 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:43.920 very very interesting and all even more interesting because healthcare 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.960 is in the news right now, as you know, when 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.720 we talk about the potential to repeal and replace, you know, 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.480 we talked about these different things that are pre existing 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.680 conditions and blah blah blah, and we also talk about 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:59.959 mental health and robertoo. Zuna was in essence unavailable over 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.400 of the weekend. Okay, the Blue Jays actually blew a 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.160 save in a five four lost to Kansas City on Friday. 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.440 Manager John Gibbons came out and said that Ozuna is 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.640 not feeling well and quote unquote, that's all you need 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:15.720 to know. Then later on this week, Ozuna, over the 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:19.880 weekend Ozuna comment came out and said the following, I 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.839 don't really know how to explain it. I just feel anxious. 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.240 I feel like I'm lost a little bit right now. 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.600 This has nothing to do with me being on the field. 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.200 I feel great out there. It's just when I'm out 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.720 of baseball. When I'm not on the field, I feel 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:36.120 weird and a little bit lost. Ozuna has been doing 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.480 it okay, He's saved nineteen out of twenty to save 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:42.160 opportunities to four eight e r a a point seven 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:45.320 six whip. This guy is thirty seven strikeouts and only 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:49.160 three walks and twenty nine innings. He is performing as 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.960 you would expect him to. But I find it very 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:55.040 interesting that he's got something else going on. So my 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:59.400 question is this, do we respect this in the sports world. 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.719 I mean, my man clearly has some anxiety going on, 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.840 me space and spitting statistician. I mentioned it with Zach Grinky, 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:08.679 who got his ninth win of the season today. All 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.200 the time he had bouts with anxiety. It sounds like 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.360 Ozoona is as well. And here's the thing. We have 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.040 the ten day d L right now, right we also 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:21.520 have the seven day concussion d L. And so let 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.760 me ask you, because I know how teams need the 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:25.920 roster spots. I've been talking about how the Dodgers are 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:29.080 manipulating roster spots and sending people up and down because 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.200 they want to have in essence of seven man rotation. 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.679 Do you think it's time for us to have a 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:38.120 different kind of designation for something like this. Listen, if 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.360 people have brain injuries or on the concussion d L, 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.640 that is something different. Should there be a spot where 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:48.840 we in fact respect the mental health of baseball players 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.800 out there right now? I personally think it is because 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:54.840 it's hard, especially in the sports world, when you have 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:58.480 a guy who you know, quite frankly is brave enough 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.080 to come forward and say something like this that he 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:04.760 feels anxious that he's lost. I think that professional sports, 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.800 and in this case Major League Baseball, need to recognize this, 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.920 wrap their arms around this, and not make it hard 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.000 for a player to declare something like this, or for 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:17.520 a team to manage the roster in order to support 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.960 a player going through about something like this. Now, I 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:22.360 don't want it to get to a point where you 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.840 could just you know, put someone in a different designation 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.640 because they're feeling a little bad. But this seems to 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.840 be legit. And uh so, here at the fantasy freestyle, 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:32.959 I just wanted to say out there, we're behind you, 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.760 Roberto Rozuna. We hope that you know you are able 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.080 to work through whatever it is, not just so you 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:41.240 could get back on the field and support these fantasy stats, right, 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.520 but so that you are actually you know, you know 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:47.199 what they say, you can't help anybody until you help 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:51.079 yourself first. So hopefully Roto Rozuna is okay, and hopefully 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:55.040 the Blue Jays and Gibbons continue to treat this appropriately. 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.320 When we come back here, though, we're gonna give our 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.959 team by team preview. We're going into the Cincinnati Bengals, 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:01.360 and I got a lot of stuff to talk about 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.240 with my man Donnie Burns. It's been a while, so 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.080 come on back Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:23.880 Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here in 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.280 the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Dane Martinez speeds the spitting 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.040 statistician in with my man Donnie Burns on the one 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.440 and to the love Doctor. As we get into the 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:36.520 cipher here, let's kick it off our NFL time of day. 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.720 Remember this is like a dark period really in the NFL. 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:41.600 So like I said, the news and notes are gonna 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:43.280 be short, and there's gonna be a lot of these 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.280 greatest shape of his life stories. If you listen to 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.720 the Fantasy Freestyle, you know I have been talking about 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:49.640 that for a couple of weeks, and we're gonna get 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.640 into the Cincinnati Bengals. So I want to remind you 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.679 at F and T s Y Radio on Twitter right 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.559 now at Spitting Speeds, we gotta pull question up asking 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.520 you what you think about the Cincinnati Bengals. The overall 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.000 win total for them this season is at eight and 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.200 a half. Do you think the Bengals are gonna be 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.560 better than that? Worse than that? Contending five hundred a 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.000 threat to pick high in the draft next year? Let 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.640 us know at F and T s Y Radio and 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.679 at Spitting Speeds on Twitter, we got that pole question 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.760 up there for you right now. I also want to 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:23.680 let you know that UM Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.560 started throwing again. Okay, he's starting to remember he had 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.640 that surgery on his shoulder. They're going to push him 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.640 very slowly, but they're saying that he looks good and 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.000 he will be ready for the start of actual training camp. 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.720 And I bring this up because remember last week we 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.840 heard Andrew Luck who also had surgery around the same time. 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.680 He is still not ready just yet, and there is 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.800 a little concern for Andrew Luck. It's good for Panthers 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:51.320 fans to hear that for Cam Newton, no such issues 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.520 seems to be the case. Also, quarterback news in Denver. 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.200 They're saying reports out there are saying that now Paxton 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:01.560 Lynch has closed the gap on Trevor Simeon. In O. 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:03.920 T A. S this is going to be one of 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.240 the quarterback battles in the NFL that we need to 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:10.840 definitely watch throughout the summer and into camp. Paxson Lynch 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.120 or Trevor Simeon. I'm not sure who's gonna be under 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.080 center Week one for the Broncos. Whoever it is, they'll 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:20.320 have Damarrius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders to throw too, so 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.520 it's important to keep an eye on that. And like 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.480 I said, greatest shape of his life story. Out in Washington, 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:29.200 head coach Jay Gruden says third year wide receiver Jamison 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:33.640 Crowder is quote unquote an excellent, dynamic player and continues 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.840 to prove every day why we like him so much. 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.840 If you listen to the fantasy freestyle. Ever since last 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.720 football season, I've been telling you about Jamison Crowder, and 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.480 I told you especially in dynasty leagues, because I told 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.400 you that DeShawn Jackson, I told you that Pierre Garson 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.280 would not be on the Washington football team this year, 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.920 and that Jamison Crowder was gonna get targets a plenty. Well, 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:59.240 here you go and Jay Gruden talking up Jamison Crowder. Okay, 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:01.400 so now let me get into my team by team 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.880 previews today. We're going after the Cincinnati Bengals. And here's 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:08.560 what it comes down to. It comes down to did 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:12.600 they get the right kind of help for Andy Dalton. 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.440 Here's what I mean about that. You may see their 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.960 draft and be like, oh, they got the speedster John Ross. 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:21.560 He have the four point two to forty time and 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:25.360 you may say, Yo, that really helps the Cincinnati Bengals. 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.960 That really helps a guy like a j Green. Then 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.600 they turn around in the second raft, the second round, 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.680 they draft Joe Mixon. Joe Mixon is a guy with 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.240 a checkered pass who had a lot of baggage, but 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.600 no one denies his talent on the football field, saying 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.040 that he some people thought he was the best running 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.840 back skills wise in the in the draft this year. 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:48.680 Yes over Leonard four Nette, Yes over Dalvin Cook, Yes 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:52.800 over Christian McCaffrey. So they have mixing, they have Ross. 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.360 But here's the thing. On that offensive side of the ball, 0:16:55.960 --> 0:17:00.680 they lost two Pro Bowl caliber offensive line man on 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.760 the left side. They lost, they lost Whitworth, and they 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:07.800 lost their guard Zeitler. I think that is a huge 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:11.320 drawback for the Cincinnati Bengals that people are not talking about. 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:15.000 Why because I don't have faith in Andy Dalton. I 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:20.000 think remember all NFL teams their their quarterbacks fall in 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:23.440 one of five categories. You are either in the searching category, 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:28.800 the ascending category, the uninspiring category, the elite category, or 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:32.760 the sunsetting category. My thesis has been the worst of 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:36.199 those five is the uninspiring category. If you know you 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:39.800 don't have a quarterback, you're gonna be good faster than 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.840 if you have one of these uninspiring quarterbacks. And to me, 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:47.760 Andy Dalton is solidly in that category. Um A man 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.680 Corey Parts in the Fantasy Executive has him right at 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.480 quarterback eighteen for Andy Dalton, and I kind of agree. 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:58.720 I would even say less. Andy Dalton is okay if 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.080 he has a clean pocket, but when there is a 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:05.960 rush in his face, Andy Dalton is prone to making mistakes. 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.280 And I don't care if you've got John Ross blowing 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.159 the top off the defense. I don't care if you 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:14.600 have a hobbled you know, Tyler Eifford, if he's getting pressure. 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:18.800 Andy Dalton will make mistakes. So I think losing these 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:23.679 two offensive lineman is going to prove very costly for 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.240 the Cincinnati Bengals. We look into the backfield, let me 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.560 tell you something. They like Joe mix Mixon. I like 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.800 Joe mixon skill set as well. I'm here to tell 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:35.800 you this will be Joe Mixon's backfield by the end 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.679 of the season. They quite frankly, would not take the 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:42.440 public relations risk on this guy unless if they thought 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:45.760 he was a stud and going to be there running 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:49.360 back for years to come. Already, they already have pr 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:54.760 nonsense around guys like Pacman Jones, around guys like Vontes Perfect. Okay, 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:58.360 why take on another one of these characters unless they 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.320 think it is worth it in terms of the production. 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.919 Clearly Cincinnati does. I think it might be too. I 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:08.200 think Joe Mixon is going to be a sneaky RB 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.439 two in many drafts. Okay, Giovanni Bernard is fine if 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:13.560 you have a PPR league. I think he will once 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:16.600 again get forty to fifty receptions this year. The issue 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:20.280 is Jeremy Hill. Jeremy Hill's time has passed. He is 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.520 the one who does not have a seat when the 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:25.159 music stops. This is gonna be Joe Mixon in early downs, 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:27.560 and then when they're down or in passing situations or 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:30.360 in the two minute drill, it's gonna be all Giovanni Bernard. 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:32.919 If you have Jeremy Hill in the Dynasty League, you 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.119 can try and get something for him. Let's move to 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:40.439 the wide receivers, though. A J. Green I think is 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:45.440 going to have a monster season. And here's why. There 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:49.040 are a few top five, top seven wide outs that 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:51.960 had the other side of the field changing for them. 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:54.199 I'm talking about a guy like Mike Evans who has 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.000 DeShawn Jackson now on the other side of the field. 0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.760 I'm talking about a guy like Odell Beckham who now 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:02.639 has Brandon Marshall on the other side of the field 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:07.440 in those situations, DeShawn Jackson Brandon Marshall, I actually think 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:10.160 that does a little bit of a hit to these 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:14.399 elite wide out ones. For a J. Green, not so much. 0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:18.000 While John Ross is gonna help you in real football, 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:20.320 how defenses have to scheme for him getting a J. 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:22.439 Green more space. And you may say the same thing 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.879 about DeShawn Jackson out there in Tampa, but a J. 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:30.040 Green is gonna be a target monster. My man, Corey Parson, 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:33.399 the Fantasy executive, has A J. Green has his wide 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:37.320 receiver number five. I'm telling you, I think A J. Green, 0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:39.480 when all is said and done, is going to be 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:43.240 in the top three this year in production. I think 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:45.240 he could be ahead of a guy like t Y Hilton. 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:48.320 Like I said, I think Mike Evans and O'Dell. You're 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:51.840 never sure how the guys like DeShawn Jackson and Brandon 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:54.240 Marshall are gonna change it. Will they impact and he 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:57.600 read zone targets, things like that. A J. Green is 0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:01.760 not having his targets impacted. Trust me, A J. Green 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:04.800 goes back to being at the top of the heap. 0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:07.760 I think he can be a top three wide receiver 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:11.679 this year. If you are drafting eleven or twelve in 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:17.520 your league in the first round, go get yourself a J. Green. 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:22.440 John Ross. It's gonna have a game or two where 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:24.879
