7
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: you can't even make it into football at that point.

8
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,879

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: and soprano. No, hey, what were you guys? I think

14
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: soprano because I grew up. Who wants to be the

15
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: falsetto in this I can definitely do falsetto. I like it.

16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: Make the darkness is I believe in a thing called love.

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,800

18
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: is a preseason edition of Fantasy Football Weekly, So everything

19
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: we're doing in this show is built around helping you

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: crush your draft or auction. We have a whole different

21
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: format when we get to the regular season or breaking

22
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: down all the games. Really, I think my goal here,

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: guys is I want the listeners to just even if

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: just make crushed two picks in their draft or auction

25
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: that they wouldn't have hit otherwise. And that's all you need.

26
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: If you have a two player differential in your raspensive

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: huge difference. That's the goal for this shows the right

28
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: land mine. So we got that. That's almost the same

29
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: thing that counts is to missing up. You know, avoiding

30
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: bad picks would be one of the two and improving

31
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: you pick would be another two that works. That absolutely works. Uh,

32
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: let's let's get those two picks onto your team. Over

33
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: the course of today, we're going to talk through the

34
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: highlights from the preseason action, answer some tough Westion's, provide

35
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: some bold predictions, look at how the high stakes players

36
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: are shaping their drafts, and we'll look ahead three years

37
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: out for today's rookies to help some of you in

38
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: Dynasty and Empire leagues. And we'll wrap up the show

39
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: like we always do with some of our favorite sleepers

40
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: for this year. All that Comic Fantasy Football Weekly let's

41
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: let's begin here with a recap of some of the

42
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: notable things that have come out of the first preseason games.

43
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: And guys, there's not always a lot to talk about

44
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: in the first preseason, you know, but then again, sometimes

45
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: good things do happen, and we do have some storylines

46
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: from week number one. Let's begin, Matt with the Colts

47
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: and Bills game. Sometimes you can glean some good information

48
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: and sometimes you just look at the running backs in

49
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo and you get nothing. T J. Yeldon fumbled the

50
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: ball while running right up the gut. Not a good uh,

51
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: introduction to him in Buffalo. So he was replaced by

52
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: Sonora's Perry who a second quarter goal line touchdown. Oh

53
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: now it's a five way time share. Frank Gore had

54
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: two carries. McCoy didn't play. Devin Singletary got most of

55
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: the work. Church. Do you know how many times he

56
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: ran in this game? Um wait, I'm just gonna make

57
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: a bold, Guests, you got it right nine times? Um

58
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: on the was to me that was principal uh Rooney.

59
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: Uh So that was the most important thing on the

60
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo side. On the Colt side, there was not much

61
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: to talk about at all. Look Marlon mack uh t,

62
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: Y Hilton, Paris Campbell all set out. But do you

63
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: remember Chad Kelly, former Broncos Kelly, I thought, wait a minute,

64
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: I thought he was playing for for the sing sing team.

65
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: He's on the Colts now. He had a really nice

66
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: QB keeper for a touchdown. He had fifty three yards

67
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: on the ground, also looked good in the air thirteen

68
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: of nineteen one one. He's behind Jacoby Brisette in the

69
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: packing order. But Chad Kelly, it was like, well, that

70
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: guy was good and the Broncos are really helpful. It

71
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: was never that Chad Kelly is not good enough. The

72
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: problem was he's not sane enough. That's true. That's what's

73
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: been the issue. Briant Jets take took on the Giants,

74
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: and we've got a brewing controversy in New York. Yeah,

75
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: we'll get to that in a second. Um despite standing

76
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: on the sideline and just shorts and T shirt, though

77
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: Sae Kwon Barkley didn't play, but was targeted by Eli

78
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 1: Manning a couple time for negative are yards a distressed

79
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: Eli Manning. But the controversy 're alluding to charge was

80
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones looked really good. Uh perfect five for five

81
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: through touchdown. It was kind of odd that he didn't

82
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: play more though. It's almost like the Giants are trying

83
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: to avoid a quarterback controversy. It's like the paper Mayfield treatment. Well,

84
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to stash him on their practice squad.

85
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: Let's be real, they don't want anybody to find out

86
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: about Well, he looked good. It's only a matter of

87
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: time before Daniel Jones is a starter in New York.

88
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 1: Um Cody Lattimer real quick looks to be the starting

89
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: wide receiver obviously, golden tap Sorry upset Sterling Shepherd. Uh

90
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: oh man if Sterling Shepherd actually does start to see

91
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: he's gonna be ready, you think, so that's that's the word.

92
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: He'll be ready. So um, but that's all to talk about.

93
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: In the New York side, the Jets first team offense

94
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: looked really sharp. Um Jameson Crowder capted with a touchdown,

95
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: Sam Donald the Great Chris Hernon had a nice grab.

96
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: Don't forget though he's suspended the first four games, so

97
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: that will have a negative impact on offense. But um,

98
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: the offense looked good as a whole. Levy On Bell

99
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: did not play either, and Um that's all for that

100
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: game in deeper leagues, because Chris Herndon, I think is

101
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: gonna be very good when he does come back. He's

102
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: gonna be starter caliber tight end. If you ultra sloft

103
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: that position, you'll take any of the top ten tight ends.

104
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: Last two picks of your draft. You go tight end

105
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: Chris Herndon, and you just muddle by for four weeks

106
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: and then start Chris Herndon. I saw Evan Silva tweet

107
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: this where he said, you get Tyler Eiffert for the

108
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: first four weeks while he's healthy, perfect, and then and

109
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: then just go to Chris Herndon and you could Yeah,

110
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: that's more like the first four minutes of the first

111
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: quarter of the season, Washington took on Cleveland. The aforementioned

112
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: Browns and Freddie Kitchens ran the two human at offense,

113
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: with Baker Mayfield starting deep in their own territory, and

114
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: it was an evisceration of the Redskins defense. Baker Mayfield

115
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: blasted through them with a series of easy first downs

116
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: and then a laser touchdown to Richard Higgins, who's turning

117
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: into a nice sleeper candidate. Nick Chubb touched the ball

118
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: two times when was a fourteen yard game. One was

119
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: a fifteen yard game. Both the first downs the new

120
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson. And this is a great sleeper for your

121
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: late in your draft. The new Duke Johnson is Dontrelle Hilliard.

122
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: Dontrelle Hilliard, who's going to be a PPR helper. He's

123
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: a pass catching specialist. And Nick Chubb's not gonna be

124
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna run nient of the plays. It's

125
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: because he's the new Duke Johnson. I don't think they

126
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: would have traded away Duke Johnson if they didn't think, Uh,

127
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: Dalton Hilliard. Don Trell Hilliard's gonna be able to do it.

128
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: You did this show years ago. Dalton Hilliard was still

129
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: when it was still relevant. On the redskin side disaster

130
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: for the first the first team case, Kingdom started no

131
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: get Darius guys in this game. The offensive line looked awful,

132
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: and then even worse, Dwayne Haskins came in and looked

133
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: brutal with two interceptions, including a pick six. It's all

134
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: bad in Washington. This might be the NFL's least functional offense.

135
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's go to our next Speaking in functional offense,

136
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,239
Speaker 1: let's go to Jacksonville. Let's talk about them. The Jags

137
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: scored zero point, zero points, no for net, no folds

138
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: in this game. They did have eight punts, two interceptions,

139
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: and two turnovers on downs. Uh. That was it. The

140
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: Jaguars were terrible. Um On the other side, Baltimore, Lamar

141
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: Jackson was passing really well on his drive four for

142
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: six for fifty nine yards plus a touchdown to Willie Snead.

143
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on Chris Moore, the wide receiver there.

144
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: He ran with the first team and he seemed to

145
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: have some pretty good chemistry with Jackson. Made a really good, tough,

146
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: contested catch. And then finally Justice Hill. He looks really

147
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: quick and I think he's the backup to mark Ingram

148
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: in the past catching back. Caught a nice pass out

149
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: of the backfield, cut up the field really well. Mark

150
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: Graham doesn't have that kind of juice in his tank,

151
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: but I really like mark Ingram still. Uh And and

152
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: Ingram didn't play in this game, So Justice Hills the

153
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: guy I want to keep my eye on, not just

154
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: the backup. He's going to eat into Ingram's work might

155
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: maybe the biggest upset, one of the two or three

156
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: biggest upsets from last year was Detroit handling the Patriots.

157
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: They met up again on Thursday night for a preseason version. Yes,

158
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,239
Speaker 1: sort of a revenge game from that Patricia who's already

159
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: getting his head called for in Detroit, though after they

160
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: scored three points and did absolutely nothing in this game,

161
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: There's virtually nothing to talk about about the lines from

162
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: a fantasy football perspective, and really the only player worth

163
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: mentioning in this game, uh that Pertains of the show

164
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: was and kill Harry looked pretty good for the amount

165
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: of time he's on the field. That two nice grabs,

166
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: but no one played in this game. Virtually no want

167
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: nothing to talk about in this game. So I'm gonna

168
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: save some time and kick it back to you. Charge.

169
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: Tennessee took on Philadelphia and Marcus Mariota was inaccurate. He

170
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: misfired on several of his passes. Ryan Tannehill looked far better,

171
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: and he threw two touchdowns in the game. That's switch

172
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: is gonna happens sooner than people so too. I think

173
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: Mariota is the NFL's most vulnerable starter. I don't think

174
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: in any size league you should be drafting Marcus Mariota

175
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: at this point. He might not be the most vulnerable,

176
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: but he's in the same realm as case Keenum and

177
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick and those kind of guys who are expected

178
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: to be battling opening openly battling for their jobs. Yeah,

179
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: you're probably right about that. Adam Humphrey has had three

180
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: targets on the first drive alone, and I think he's

181
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: going to be a target sponge in this one in PPR.

182
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: You want to move up Adam Humphreys. Let's go to

183
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia side. Carson Wentz didn't play, and then the

184
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: backup Nick Sudfeld unfortunately ended up breaking his uh, either

185
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: his wrist or his his lower arm, and uh, he's

186
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna end up missing the better part of

187
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: a couple of months on this And so suddenly, after

188
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: losing Nick Foles, the quarterback situation is really bad. After

189
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, Jordan Howard started, although Miles Sanders got in

190
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: a lot of work, but neither of him did anything.

191
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: Tons of targets to sophomore tight end Dallas Goddard. And

192
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: this is a guy that I, well, I don't know,

193
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: you want to draft him. This is why I've moved down.

194
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz and my cheat sheet. He's you know, most

195
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: people have him as a as the big three tight ends,

196
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: and he's one of the big three. It's not my

197
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: top three. And this is why you have a big

198
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: two tight ends. I have a big I do have

199
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: a big two tight ends. I've got Hunter Henry I

200
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: had of ahead of him. Zach Ertz. Uh, he's a beast.

201
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: By the way, so big Dallas Goddard cheez man. I

202
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 1: loved how they real life snipe to the Cowboys in

203
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: the draft because Dallas and they moved up and they

204
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: just took him right out under him. A rookie wide receiver.

205
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: J j Arthega, that is the correct pronunciation I learned

206
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: from the podcast. He's gonna call him j Jaw all year.

207
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: Jay Jaws. Jaws is something I'm Jaws. I like Jaws.

208
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: That works too. Both of his parents pro basketball players

209
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: in Spain. By the way, I learned, he's an athlete.

210
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: He made one diving play on an overthrown ball and

211
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: got one hand on it, didn't almost pulled it in,

212
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: but dimmed. Next time, let's go to Atlanta taking on Miami,

213
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: and oh, we've got some storylines here. If you Stu Beard,

214
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick and Kenyan Drake were the starters. We've heard

215
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: all offseason that klin Blage was going to uh usurped

216
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: that job from Kenyan Drake, but Drake was the starter.

217
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: He took the first play of the game eight yards,

218
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: basically did nothing else the rest of his time in

219
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: the game. Josh Rosen came in later in the game.

220
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: He was beat up badly by the second team offensive line,

221
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: but he still managed a decent thirteen for twenty for

222
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: a hundred and nine one yards, and klin Blage he

223
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: ran with the second team. He looked really good, was

224
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: running downhill. He had six carries for twenty three yards

225
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: and a score. Um On the Falcon side, there really

226
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: wasn't that much to talk about. No Matt Ryan, Julio Jones,

227
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: DeVante Freeman, or Calvin Ridley. Edo Smith ran with the

228
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: Ones and he scored on a goal line dive. But

229
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: that was really it for the Falcons. You were missing.

230
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: I think the biggest story that was Miami game. Preston Williams,

231
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: the wide receiver with the four insane catches in this game.

232
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: That's he is a He's a regular receiver. Victor Cruz.

233
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: Remember the Victor Cruz preseason Great, that was huge. Uh

234
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: the bid on him was troubled player who was off

235
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: of most draft boards because character concerns. Otherwise would have

236
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: probably been a second round ish wide receiver, one of

237
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: the first receivers taken, but most teams wouldn't touch him.

238
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: But you're the Dolphins, so why not? You have nothing

239
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: to lose anybody? Well, yeah, in Miami there's a lot

240
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 1: of inappropriate touching. So he looked fantastic. And somebody I'm

241
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: definitely keeping an eye on is somebody that might emerge

242
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: out of the crud that is the wide receiver group

243
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: in Miami. Insert Albert Wilson going come on, hey, what

244
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: about me? Us the year of DeVante Parker. It's gonna happen.

245
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. Houston taking on the Packers, Brian another

246
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: lame game. No Duke Johnson for Houston. No surprise there, though.

247
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: Kicky Cutie did suffer a pretty gruesome looking ankle injury.

248
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: His availability for Week one certainly in question, something to

249
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: keep an eye on. I'm not too interested in his replacement,

250
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: but it certainly bumps up the value of Will Fuller

251
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: and uh DeAndre Hopkins who can't go up much higher. Um,

252
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: But again, nothing to really glean from this. The only

253
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: thing that the Green Bay side no one really played.

254
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: Dexter Williams set a lot of a lot of work

255
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: rookie running back. I bet he takes over the backup

256
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: role over Jamal Williams at some point, but that's about it. Yeah,

257
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: and Jones and Trenched the starter, he didn't play. Nobody played.

258
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: Lame game Carolina took on Chicago Carolina side, none of

259
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: the starters played, and there's nothing to see here other

260
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: than I'll mention the Carolina's rebuild offensive line look bad.

261
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: So other than that, nothing talking about the Carolina side.

262
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: On the Chicago side though, probably the biggest story coming

263
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: out of at least the Thursday night games for sure,

264
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: David Montgomery, oh man, did he look good? To put

265
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: your pants back on? He he played in several like Davis,

266
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: got the start for one series and then he was out.

267
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: So let me mention that first, it was Mike Davis

268
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: at first, and he didn't do much. Den Montgomery comes

269
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: out and looks every bit as good at the NFL

270
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: level as he did at Iowa State. The balance, the vision,

271
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: the shiftiness talking about the worthy hoping start for Mike Davis.

272
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: That really was Come on, Um Davis is not bad,

273
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: but still, you know, that's that's a whole different story altogether.

274
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: Um Montgomery. That's I'm telling you, guys, he's gonna catch

275
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of passes. He looked awfully nice in this one.

276
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: We'll take a momentary pause and coming up next the

277

Speaker 1: that we're gonna talk about on the show, and then

287
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: I want to get to the Peacock Off, which is

288
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: where we make our boldest peacock worthy predictions for the year.

289
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: We begin Denver taking on Seattle Thursday night. Matt what

290
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: did you see Philip Lindsay was the focal point of

291
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: the first three plays for the Broncos. A one yard run,

292
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: a ten yard run in a nine yard reception. Not

293
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: bad for the first three plays. Then Royce Freeman came in. Yeah,

294
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: ran for no gain. And on it's the third and

295
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: one snap, he took it fifth the yards untouched and

296
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: got caught from behind, untouched, caught from behind, wide open hole.

297
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: I was surprised that he got caught. I was too.

298
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: He's not fast. Oh he's not. Philip Lindsay that he's

299
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: a way better running back than than Royce. So yeah,

300
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna kind of back off of Royce for

301
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: this year. Uh the yeah, that's really really about it.

302
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: There's a time share there, but I hope it's I

303
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: know there was a time share at this time last

304
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: year too. On the Seahawks side, Gino Smith drew the start. Uh.

305
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: There was a late first quarter play where Gino threw

306
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: it to dk Metcalf right at the sticks for a

307
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: first down. Backup corner Davante boss By out muscled the

308
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: giant Metcalf and swatted down the ball. Metcalf looked every

309
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: bit a rookie and it scares me seeing that right there.

310
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: I I have a feeling that he's going to just

311
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: not have a good first year in the NFL. Chris

312
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: Carson didn't play for the Seahawks, needed Russell Wilson, Rashad

313
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: Penny had a meager six for fifteen rushing. So not

314
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: much else to see here on the Seattle side. Chargers

315
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: took on the Cardinals and the Kyler Murray debut. We

316
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: only got one series from him, A buddy look. He

317
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: did look good. He also looked very small out there.

318
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: Someone just someone took you know, video from their phone

319
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: of the team running out and of course he comes

320
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: out after the lineman and someone tweeted like he looked

321
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: like a make a Wish kid coming out, and he

322
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: really did. But yeah, you look good. But on the ball,

323
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: didn't run the ball at all, but um forty four yards.

324
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: Uh it wasn't electrifying by any means. But hopefully we

325
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: see more next time. Uh. No, No other big names

326
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: played for Arizona. No David Johnson, no Larry Fitzgerald. A

327
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: lot more to talk about on the San Diego side.

328
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: Not in the passing game, Mike Williams didn't make an

329
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: amazing over the shoulder, and he'll do that a lot

330
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: this year. But um, it was it was the running

331
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: backs that is worth talking about here. Austin Ekeler got

332
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: the start, he looked pretty good. He did bumble from

333
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: the two yard line, though that's not a good start.

334
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: And then to compound matters for or Ekera leivers, Justin

335
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: Jackson had a really nice touchdown on from the five,

336
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: ran right over a cornerback on his way, and he

337
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,239
Speaker 1: looked powerful. So I'm like in Jackson a little more

338
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: than Echolor, just based on Deckler. It's kind of the almost,

339
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: you know, the scat back of the two, but neither

340
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: it built like Melvin. They're both good. So the Chargers

341
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: have no interest in making this a high priced addition

342
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: to their team. Not only that, if I'm the Chargers,

343
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: who by the way they offered, they offered ten millions

344
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: or they ten to twelve million here, which is the

345
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: absolute high end of what any starting running back makes

346
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: in today's mark, And I think I would rescind it,

347
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: and I would be just happy to move on and

348
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: not have committed ten million of my precious salary cap

349
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: dollars to the running back position. When I got two

350
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: guys who were perfectly functional. See what you can trade

351
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: them for? Like, just open the phone lines and go

352
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: best offer. Let's go. Ye, some team is you know,

353
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: breaking news running backs to get hurt at some point,

354
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: there's going to be an opportunity to trade away Melvin

355
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: Gordon to a team that's got you know, playoff aspirations

356
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: and just lost their starting running back called Dallas. Wouldn't

357
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: that be funny they signed? They signed Melvin Gordon over

358
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: Zeke man Um. That's it for that. That's it. Yeah, alright,

359
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: nothing more on Kyler Murray. I thought he looked good.

360
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: He's short, he was mostly short. What is he like?

361
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: Six of seven mostly start, It was very conservative. He

362
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: took a sack, he got sacked. But you won't wait

363
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: to see. But kirk me if I'm wrong. They started

364
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: at their own two yard line. They went the entire

365
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: which is gonna be all Christian Kirk really really interested

366
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: in Christian Kirk. And I've had him ranked in the

367
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: low thirties for most most of the season. If you

368
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: know I've got I've got Kyler Murray at quarterback seven.

369
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: If we think I think he's that good, his receivers

370
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: have to catch some passes in here too, So we're

371
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: gonna talk about all the rookie receivers. They have to

372
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: they are deep and deep and rookie receivers. All right,

373
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: this is a segment we do uh e season. We

374
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: like to call the peacock Off. Now let's explain how

375
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: it works after this. That's the peaks That is the

376
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: bas scott of the peacock off. Right there, you can peacock.

377
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 1: You peacocked one Patrick Mahomes last year in this segment.

378
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: Last year, in this segment, I said Patrick Mahomes would

379
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: be a top ten quarterback. Now what makes it sound

380
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: like not a big deal? Now, well, you need to

381
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: understand it. This time last year, Patrick Mahomes is a

382
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: d P was quarterback eighteen. So I was giving you know,

383
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, saying that Patrickmomes would be top ten, was

384
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: going out on a limit. This time last year. It

385
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: sounds obvious. Now I had Eric Ebron as a top

386
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: five tight end and you laughed at me, My dad,

387
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: you can peacock that. By the way, I was not

388
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: a believer in Eric Ebron because he had They needed

389
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: him so desperately for the friend Detroit for so many years.

390
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: They could never produced. Come on, well, it's not automatic.

391
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: We're tight ends go to die. Don't tell that to

392
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: t J. Hockinson. It might be all right. Let's let's

393
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: begin with I want I want to bold predictions from

394
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: each of you one a time, UM, and I will

395
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: work myself into this as well. Let's start with Brian,

396
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: what is your first peacock off bold predictions? I'm going

397
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: with Jared Goff, who will finish as a top five

398
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: quarterback this year and right now his ADP is twelve

399
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: thirteen range. Um. Really, this is more about the system

400
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: than the quarterback and the surrounding talent in that system. Um,

401
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: you know goss ADP and the ADP of his top

402
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: three wide receivers, who are the only team the Rams

403
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: have receivers that are going in the first five rounds

404
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: for any of them. And they bring in um Henderson,

405
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: Henderson who's gonna have this Chris Thompson type role. So

406
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: we saw the first half of the year last year

407
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: Gough was a top five quarterback easily. Cooper Cup gets

408
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: hurt in Week ten and the wheels just kind of

409
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: come off for that offense. They they piece it together

410
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: and make it to the Super Bowl whatever. But uh,

411
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: and he was a disaster that he was a disaster,

412
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: but disaster is a little strong. He kind of hit

413
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: the wall. I think he rebounds a big time. Sean

414
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: McVeigh is a very sophisticated offensive mind and he probably

415
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: has one of the most complicated schemes in all of football.

416
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: So GoF coming back, all those receivers are brand new

417
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: essentially to the team to Brandon Cooks Robert Woods last year,

418
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: so they've all been the other cup coming off injury whatever.

419
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: But he's healthier and it's real quick. According to Pro

420
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: Football Focuses, Jeff Ratcliffe GOP has the most favorable strength

421
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: of schedule among all quarterbacks. There's only been three quarterbacks

422
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: in NFL history that have had a pass rating of

423
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 1: a hundred or higher with the minimum before in past

424
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: attempts in consecutive years before the twenty seventh birthday. Those

425
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: pretty guys are Aaron Rodgers, Carson Wentz, and Jared Gofft.

426
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: The weak talent on a great team. And for what

427
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: it's worth, his m VP odds I've moved from sixty

428
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: to one to thirty to one recently. That's a big shift.

429
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: That's a shift, so I'm targeting Goff heavily. He's going

430
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: very late in drafts, and you know I'm the same

431
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: top five quarterback. We'll see, um, Matt, what is your

432
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: first of two peacock off prediction? I have Antonio Brown

433
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: finishing the season outside the top thirty wide receivers. Uh

434
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: and and there's a lot of there's a lot of

435
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: tentacles here. First off, the reports over the last few days,

436
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: Chase Williams on Twitter noted that the Raiders don't know

437
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: where Antonio Brown is. Later they say he's expected to

438
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: join the Raiders in the near future. That was from

439
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: Michael Gelkin of the Las Vegas Review Journal. You've seen

440
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: his feet. His feet looked like he needs to peel

441
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: somebody else's feet off of his feet. Well, they don't

442
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: know the status of his frost bitten feet either, because

443
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: he hasn't been there, So it's it's all weird. He's

444
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: also filed a grievance against the NFL appealing the league's

445
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: decision to ban his preferred helmet. And that's weird stuff.

446
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: You don't want all that weird stuff involved distraction. He's

447
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: refusing to play as a results now because of his

448
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: helmet thing. It's insane. Second, there's a pretty big downgrade

449
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: from the Pittsburgh offense with a very good offensive line

450
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: in Ben Roethlisberger to a Raiders offense with Derek Carr.

451
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: That's a huge drop off. I don't care what that

452
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: player is. It's tangible. Brown will face double teams or

453
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: bracket coverage all year long because the other viable wide

454
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: out is Tyrrell Williams and they've got nothing else to

455
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: throw to. Third, the Raiders offensive line is an absolute disaster,

456
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: and now left guard Denzel Good is out with a

457
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: back injury. Richie Incognito is suspended. The other right guard,

458
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: Gabe Jackson, just injured his m c L and will

459
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: miss half the season. Fourth, there's no hope for it

460
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: to get better because Tom Cable is the guy supposed

461
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: to fix it and arguably the worst running back or

462
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: offensive line coach in the nf So get this. According

463
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: to Warren Sharp, as an NFL coach, Tom Cable has

464
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: seven bottom ten rated offensive lines in past protection in

465
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: his coaching career. That's over thirteen years. Never once he's

466
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: had a line rank better than twenty in the league.

467
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: He's bottom half all the time. So brown. He's got

468
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: everything working against him. And by the way, frost bite

469
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: reoccurs they play in Denver in week seventeen. He's been

470
00:24:54,840 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: a half cold. Tutsie's Lamar Jackson is currently the fifteen

471
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: selected quarterback over all ADP for quarterbacks fifteen. He will

472
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 1: be twice as good, finishing seventh or better. This is

473
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: not dissimilar to my Patrick Mahomes of last year who

474
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: was eighteen, and I put him in the top top

475
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: ten this year fifteen. For Lamar Jackson, he will be

476
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: twice as good. Last year in the games he started,

477
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson was quarterback four four. So in a sense,

478
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm I'm bluffering by three spots here. It's almost it's

479
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: not even that bold of prediction. I suppose by all accounts,

480
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: his passing has improved in year to including your account

481
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: of moments ago, Matt uh Your he's look he looks

482
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: like a better passer, typical of most sophomore quarterbacks. Looks

483
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: like a better passer. In that Chargers playoff game too,

484
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: that not many people seem to remember he passed well

485
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: in that game. I agree. Most of the time he's

486
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: going to score you points like an RB two. He's

487
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: gonna chip in fifty yards and a coin flips chance

488
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: at a rushing touchdown just on the ground. He's going

489
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: to be an RB two. Then many games he will

490
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: throw one or two touched ounts. That's just like gravy.

491
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 1: That's just a bonus on top of this. When those

492
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: two things come together in the same game, he's going

493
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: to have these giant games that it's going to almost

494
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: single handedly win for you. Lamar Jackson will finish at

495
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: QB seven or better. All right, let's go to our

496
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: next peacock off bold prediction, Brian, Who you got? Well,

497
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm sort of doubling down on my peacock off from

498
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: last year, and I didn't get the sounder because it

499
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: didn't work out basically due where's the sad trombone sounder?

500
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 1: That's the vulture. Wait a minute, hold on there, there

501
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: you go. Well, that vulture noises awful. Let's not hear

502
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: that until least speak three. Alright, I gotta make it finish.

503
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: I think, okay, they're all right now it's done. Well,

504
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: charge out. Earlier you said zach Ertz was at your

505
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: big three tight ends in Favorite Hunter, Henry, I'm going

506
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: Evan Engram will finish as the top three tight end

507
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: this year. I'm doubling down on e UM to say

508
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: the Giants within the wide wide receiver being understatement. Evan

509
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: Ingram is clearly the top receiving option on that team.

510
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: He will be their their wide receiver one. And you know, overall,

511
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: his numbers weren't great last year. He was hurt earlier

512
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: in the year. It ruined the first half of the season.

513
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: But in the second half of last year, from weeks

514
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: ten to seventeen, Evan and Gram recorded the highest overall

515
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,479
Speaker 1: tight end grade by Pro Football Focus UM. And in

516
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: his first two seasons he's been an absolute beast and

517
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: the red zone. He has picked up a first down

518
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: or scored a touchdown on seventy percent of his targets

519
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: in the red zone and UM just overall, UH, he's

520
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: an elite talent. He's up there with George Kittle, Gronk,

521
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham, and Aaron Hernandez as UH one of only

522
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: five tight ends over the last decade to have logged

523
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: more receiving yards in their first two seasons. And he

524
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: has missed missed time, missed six games you injury, So

525
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: if he stays healthy, he will be in that top

526
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: three tight ends this year. Alright, Matt, what is your

527
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,479
Speaker 1: next peacock off bold prediction? Amari Cooper finishes the season

528
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: as the number one top wide receiver in fantasy You

529
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 1: gotta be bold, right, Uh. Cooper finished and standard PPR

530
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: leagues as the number eighteen fantasy wide receiver last year. However,

531
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: when he joined the Cowboys, he was much better and

532
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: everybody knows that. Let's take out the first three weeks

533
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: where he was learning a whole new offense. Mid season

534
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: from week twelve through two Dallas Is two playoff games,

535
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: he played eight games. He averaged six and a half catches,

536
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: ninety one yards and three quarters of a touchdown. Season

537
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: full season, it's one oh four catches, fourteen fifty four

538
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: yards and twelve tds. And that's how you get to

539
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: be the number one wide receiver in fantasy football. That

540
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: would rank in PPR sixth last year. And who's above

541
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: him from last year? Antonio Brown obviously moving way down.

542
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, who has a completely new offense in Green

543
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: Bay and Rodgers is already mad about it. Tyreek Hill,

544
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: who's thirteen touchdowns seems somewhat on statin unsustainable plus I

545
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: don't think he can keep his nose clean. Julio Jones

546
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: is going to miss the entire preseason with an injury.

547
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: He's always dinged up. And DeAndre Hopkins, who is really good,

548
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: but that offense has maybe the worst offensive line in

549
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: the entire league. So give him a new year in

550
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: a revamped offense with Kellen Moore, who looks like a

551
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: quality offensive coordinator, with Cooper and Deck and contract years.

552
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: They're gonna throw it all year to Cooper. Our final

553
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: Peacock Off bold prediction. Guys, do you like touchdowns? Yes?

554
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: All kinds? All kinds, there's real how many kinds are there? Point?

555
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: So you can pass it to yourself touchdowns. Mike Williams

556
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: likes touchdowns, Yeah he does. Yeah, he did like touchdowns

557
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: that now that you mentioned it. Last year he led

558
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: all wide receivers in touchdowns per target. Every sixth pass

559
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: that went his way was a touchdown last year for

560
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. Oh no, are you gonna extrapolate that to

561
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: a hundred targets and all of a sudden he has touchdowns?

562
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: I'm not, but I should have. I wish I had

563
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: now uh. He was one of only seven wide receivers

564
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: had double digit touchdowns last year. He did it while

565
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: sharing time with Travis Benjamin as the team's fourth receiver.

566
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: And now Mike Williams is the presumptive starter, which brings

567
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: me to the actual prediction part of this. Mike Williams

568
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: will outscore Keenan Alan in fantasy. Yes, it's going to happen.

569
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: That is That is an absolute quasi lock right there, guys.

570
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: Coming up next, we will look at what the high

571
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: stakes players are doing differently than the rank and file

572
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: drafters out there. These are the guys that have big

573
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: bucks on the line, highly incentivized to make sure they

574
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: do that. They're a little more savvy and they're drafting.

575
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: You've heard us talking about Guillotine Leagues, by the way

Speaker 1: cut from the league and their entire roster goes the

579

608
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: All right. I would like to dot on true story.

609
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: When I was teaching my daughter at age two and three,

610
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: all the cow, the cow goes move, you know, the

611
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: dog says wolf? You know that stuff. I taught her

612
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: what the shark says? Dune dune, dune, dune, dune, dune, dune.

613
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: Nice job. Yeah, that's good parenting right there, really is.

614
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: That's good parenting. Uh. We get our high stakes data

615
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: from the National Fantasy Football Championships a DP. It's their

616
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: sixteenth the year. This is sort of the granddaddy of

617
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: the high stakes fantasy championships, with entry fees that range

618
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: up to twenty thousand dollars. If you've got twenty thousand

619
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: dollars on the line, you're paying attention to what you're doing.

620
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: I was out at their baseball drafts last year, UH,

621
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: their live drafts in Vegas, and it was just fascinating.

622
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: It's absolutely wild to watch these guys whole different level.

623
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: They do have I know they have online drafts, they

624
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: have lives drafts that you mentioned Las Vegas in New

625
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: York City as well National Fantasy Football Championships. You can

626
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: find the ADP yourself at play n f f C

627
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: dot com. Um, I've got a handful of guys that

628
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: I want to talk about that are that are materially

629
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: different from an average draft position standpoint for the high

630
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: stakes players as compared to the rest of the world,

631
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: which includes free guys that are just you know, people

632
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: who play for free, mock drafters, people who are expare

633
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: menting everything else. Let's start here. Baker Mayfield going two

634
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 1: rounds earlier in n f FC drafts. Your thoughts, well,

635
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, in general, this is a one quarterback format,

636
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: and in one quarterback formats, most people like to wait

637
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: because there's just in the you know, QB seven to

638
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: like fifteen range. I mean we're talking we love Gothic

639
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 1: quarterback twelve and Lamar Jackson the quarterback fifteen. To see

640
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: Baker and Mayfield going two rounds earlier. That just means

641
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: these sharps are truly believed he is on a whole

642
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: another level than the Cam Newton's and even that means

643
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: he's going before Aaron Rodgers. I would believe if he's

644
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: going two rounds earlier, that's well before Aaron. So they're

645
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: just truly believing in that video game offense that appears

646
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: to be on paper. So if you want to win

647
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: one of the main events in these NFC championships where

648
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 1: you can win up to like two grand you gotta

649
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 1: kind of shoot for the moon, and you gotta get

650
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: the guys who are going to be the absolute studs.

651
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: You have to hit on Patrick Mahomes from last year.

652
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: And if you believe Baker may Field can be the

653
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: guy who's going to be the number one overall quarterback

654
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: and fantasy, you take him two rounds earlier than his ADP.

655
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: He's got forty touchdown potential, absolutely arm and if Baker

656
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: Mayfield's also got some running ability, you know, I'm not

657
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: saying he's Lamar Jackson or that he's Kyle Kyler Murray,

658
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: but he's he's got he's he's a foot us yeah,

659
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: I would say real quick. And you in a one

660
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: quarterback league, you don't want to be deciding on a

661
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: weekly basis. Between QB eight and ten, you get Mayfield,

662
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: you're drafting him. You're like, I'm gonna planting Gueld. So,

663
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: speaking of Kyler Murray going one round earlier in high

664
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: stakes NFFC drafts, he's already going pretty high. I mean,

665
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: I think I think a largely the public is sort

666
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: of onto him and backing him. But he is going

667
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: one round earlier. I think it's the running potential. I

668
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: think people are looking at both Baker and Kyler. And

669
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: we can even include Lamar Jackson in this conversation because

670
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: he's next on the list two round Well, he's actually

671
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: lower in NFFC ADP, but that's that's because Baker and

672
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: Kyler have that passing and running ability and it can

673
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: gain you so much in fantasy. If you have a

674
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: guy who can do both, you want it. You want

675
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: to just shoot for the moon and hit that hit

676
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: that bingo right there. That's what Baker and Kyler can do.

677
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: And I think the concern you mentioned Lamar Jackson, he's

678
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: two rounds lower for the SHARPS and NFFC, and I

679
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: think that the concern is what you're just mentioned. There's

680
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: gonna be dug games. Or he doesn't run and doesn't pass. Yeah,

681
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: if they can bottle him up on the running part

682
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: of it and make him throw like Sandy or San

683
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: Diego Los Angeles Chargers did in that playoff game. Force

684
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: him to throw and see what you can do and

685
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: and and make him beat you through the air. I

686
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: think that's what most defenses are going to plan to

687
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: do with Lamar Jackson this year. Who's missing from this

688
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: combo is Cam Newton too. He's kind of in between

689
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and Lamar Jackson and a DP and Cam Newton.

690
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: I don't understand why he's going so much later than

691
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray when he has more proven receivers into some

692
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: more proven track records. So that's defensive lines kind of

693
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: un And so there's that Tampa Bay wide receiver Chris

694
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: Godwin already. I think, you know, everybody gets the upside

695
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: right now, and I think he's I think almost all

696
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: savvy listeners know that Chris Godwin is going to become

697
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: a big part of what Bruce arians does in Tampa Bay.

698
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: But he's still going one round earlier in these high

699
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: stakes drafts. Well, they lost de Sean Jackson and they

700
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: lost Adam Humphreez and that's a lot of vacated targets

701
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: from that offense right there. So he's obviously opposite Mike Evans.

702
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: They have O J. Howard, they have Cameron Braid, but

703
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 1: Bruce arians likes to air the ball out and they

704
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: don't really have much of a running game to speak of,

705
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: so that's pretty exciting. Mike Evans can't catch everything. O J.

706
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: Howard can't catch everything. Chris Godwin is gonna catch a lot.

707
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: David Montgomery, rookie for the Bears, with the dynamic first

708
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 1: game in the preseason, look terrific going one round earlier

709
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: from the Sharps, I think now, especially after the Thursday

710
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: night game, it's gonna catch up. It's gonna I I

711
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 1: think if you want David Montgomery now, you're gonna have

712
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: to even outdule the Sharps and take him probably end

713
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: of round two. You know I'm projecting, because you know,

714
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: we still don't have you know, it's so fresh that

715
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: we still don't have great data on this yet. But

716
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: I think if you want Montgomery, if you try to

717
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: wait for the third round, you're more than likely not

718
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: going to get him. Restball Ten's drafts. He's going fifty

719
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: fifth overall, which puts him in the fifth round. Yeah,

720
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: that's changing. That's not gonna hold it. No way that holds.

721
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: I had him as running back eighteen, bumped him up

722
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: to running back thirteen. Running back thirteen goes in the

723
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: middle of the second round. But I think I'm a

724
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: little higher on David Montgomery than some others. But part

725
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: of the reason I like him so much, and they're

726
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: already using him to catch a bunch of passes he's

727
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: gonna he could easily end up catching in this offense.

728
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: Next player Calin Balaje going two rounds earlier, and NFFC drafts.

729
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 1: You don't have to pay a lot for him either way.

730
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: But there apparently is a a feeling that Calen Balagh

731
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: from Miami is going to end up being the starting

732
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: running back. Yeah. I think it's a bit of an

733
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: overreaction to some earlier reports. Though when he was running

734
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: with the ones when training camp opened, it sounds like

735
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: it's more going to be tune split. So, in my opinions,

736
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: a little bit in a overreaction to the you know,

737
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 1: the early first team work for Belage. I think Kenyan

738
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: Drake is still going to factor enough that will keep

739
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: Blage out of the RB two territory more of a

740
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: flex play. But maybe the shop Sharp's around is something

741
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm not I like to kind of consider myself one

742
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: as well. I'm kind of scratching my head here in

743
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: a very bad offense where I don't see a lot

744
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: of positive game script for the running backs. But well,

745
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: that game script is a big part of Miami's running

746
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: back problem. That is a that should be a bad defense,

747
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: a bottom five ish defense that's gonna put them in

748
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: a whole lot. That's part of why I like Ryan Fitzpatrick.

749
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: It's just gonna part his beard and I love the

750
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: stew in his beard. Oh man, there's gonna he is

751
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: going to be a fun dart throw on a weekend

752
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: and week out basis Ryan Fitzpatrick. Four picks or four touchdowns,

753
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: it's one or the other. And that's what I love.

754
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: And you know what, he doesn't care, God just it

755
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: it does. It's just he's unflappable after fifteen years Ryan Fitzpatrick.

756
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: Let's go to our next Sharp analysis, and that is

757
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 1: New England's rookie running back Damian Harris. Going two rounds

758
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: later in NFFC drafts apparently don't believe in him now. Interestingly,

759
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: Patriots didn't play him at all in the first preseason game.

760
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: It could be because they already know that he's good,

761
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: or maybe they didn't think they wanted to look at

762
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: him here and he wasn't ready. Maybe so one of

763
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: the prevailing methods of drafting, especially when you approach Patriots

764
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 1: running backs, is just get the last one you can.

765
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: So you wait, you wait, you wait, wait, you don't

766
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: draft Sony Michelle in the sixth round or the fifth

767
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: round or the fourth round. You don't draft James White.

768
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: You wait and you get Rex Burkhead, or you get

769
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: Damien Harris really late in your draft, and you just

770
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 1: see which one of them pops off, and maybe maybe

771
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: they have a three or four games stretch similar to

772
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 1: like Jonas Gray or something like that. That's how you

773
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: play the Patriots running game, and you do it right.

774
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: You just avoid them all. That's how I played some season,

775
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: And I like to dabble in the Patriots running backs

776
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: and and stake acclaim to a guy because so many

777
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: people won't philosophically like they're never drafting a Patriot running back,

778
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: and there's their value there. There's probably a lot of

779
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: Sharps who are like that, and that's why that's depressed,

780
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,439
Speaker 1: and the ADP for Damian Harris is depressed that way.

781
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 1: This is not that year. This is suddenly turned into

782
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: the biggest cluster point in the NFL backfield. Right. We

783
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: have five guys that could end up doing something in

784
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: any given game, and just because somebody did something last

785
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: week doesn't mean he's gonna do anything the next week.

786
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: Have you ever used cluster boink before? I've got it

787
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: on the air many times because I can't say any

788
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: other variation of that. I understand. Yeah, like that, you

789
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: got to be careful about that. Justin Jackson going three

790
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: rounds earlier and NFFC drafts, this is the San Diego

791
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: running back who looks like in a missile San Diego,

792
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: just like he's a Clipper. Yeah, I quote unquote covered

793
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 1: this game earlier. Yeah, Jackson looks like the more complete

794
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: back over Eckler was great. He's kind of more of

795
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: a pass catcher than a full Sockler would maintain his

796
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: role and Jackson might take the Gordon role. I'm not

797
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 1: if you hadn't seen if you didn't see the touchdown.

798
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: The Jackson scored and Euer didn't look the same running

799
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: near the goal line. Jackson looked just different and he

800
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: ran more more powerful. So I'm full on board with

801
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 1: the with the sharps on this one. I would take

802
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: Jackson if I have to pick one, hands down PPR

803
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: and take Eckler is a good running back who can

804
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: run inside. He's not so small, He's not Darren Sprowls.

805
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: He's not so small that he can't run between the tackles,

806
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: and he has a career yard per carry a five.

807
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,280
Speaker 1: Austin Echoes are good running back, and I I understand

808
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: why Justin Jackson's going early. It's a lot of people

809
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: just think Melvin Gordon's in deep trouble. Actually, we're gonna

810
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about Melvin Gordon a few minutes. Next,

811
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: let's go to Buffalo running back Devin Singletary going one

812
00:42:55,680 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: round earlier in NFF seed high stakes drafts. Like I mentioned,

813
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: that is to a cluster boink of epic proportions. In Buffalo,

814
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: there's just way too many guys two miles to feed

815
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: their Frank Gore, Lashawn McCoy, Devin Singletary, T J. Yelden

816
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: is a pass catching back. I don't like any of them.

817
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to have any part of this. The

818
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: sharp seemed to think Singletary is going to come out

819
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: of this as the winner. I just don't want any

820
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: part of it. I am leaning Singletary. If I gotta

821
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: pick one, I'm gonna choose him because I don't trust

822
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,280
Speaker 1: any of the other guy. I don't trust anybody to

823
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: make that decision correctly. There uh last guy briefly vikings

824
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 1: rookie running back Alexander Madison going two rounds earlier. I

825
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 1: think those are people ensuring or handcuffing Dalvin Cook because

826
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm a big Cook believer this year after you, But

827
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 1: I think people are that's all or nothing, so they're

828
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: really ensuring that pick. So I think that's why that

829
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: might be he's not going to take that. It's not

830
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: gonna be Latavias Murray here. Um. I really think that

831
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:04,959
Speaker 1: this is the Dalvin Cook Show and they are gonna

832
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: work that Kim hard this year. So we'll we'll see

833
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: how that ends up turning out. But I'm not I'm

834
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: not as optimistic that Madison's a guy you're gonna be

835
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: able to start like you could with with Dalvin cook Um.

836
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: You can get all the ADP for these players at

837
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: play NFFC dot com if you want to see what

838
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: the heart of the high stakes players are doing. People

839
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: twenty dollars on the line. Coming up next, let's answer

840
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: three tough questions. You can play along and you go

841
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: three and oh on Fantasy Football Weekly. This is Fantasy

842
00:44:42,120 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Fan, it is Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm your host,

843
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: my co host Brian Johnson, Matt Harrison. Boys, It's time

844
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,760
Speaker 1: to get into the grinder with three tough questions. Listeners,

845
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: you get to play along, see if you can go

846
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: three and oh as well. We like to begin with

847
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 1: tough question number one with the last pick of year draft.

848
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: Will you take Josh Gordon, Rob Gronkowski or neither? Brian

849
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:33,240
Speaker 1: last pick, I think it's worthy of taking a flyer

850
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: on one of these guys. And despite uh, that's probably

851
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: being the wrong answer, I'm going with Josh Gordon because

852
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:44,320
Speaker 1: he really wants to play football display his extra curricular activities. Uh,

853
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 1: but his nose has been clean so far. But he's

854
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: in an amazing shape. I've read reports of other receivers

855
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 1: working out with him and they're basically saying he's ten

856
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: times better than all of us. Probably is if he's

857
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: working out with a bunch of bodies. I mean he's

858
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 1: an elite physical condition. He can step on the field

859
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: and play football right now. Last I saw Gronk, he cannot.

860
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: He looks pretty frail in my mind, and he has

861
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: other interests that include real Yes, he looked did you

862
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: see the pictures of him a couple of weeks ago.

863
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 1: Now I'm not challenging him to a fight or anything,

864
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: but he looked frail by Rob Gronkowski standards. He didn't

865
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: look like Gronk. He looked like Robert, Okay, Robert. So

866
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 1: I don't know. I know he can get you know,

867
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: supplemented up and get back in game shape probably, But

868
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: you say supplemented up for Rob gronow up and I

869
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean the stuff you buy a g

870
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: n C. I'm not calling him a cheat or either.

871
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to start this beef with Gronk like

872
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 1: I'm sure he cares what I say. But anyway, I'm

873
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: going Josh Gordon. If he can get in to the

874
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: league again, he's reinstated. By the way, he will be

875
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 1: an absolute force, and I just don't think Gronk has

876
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: that in him anymore. But Gordon has the desire to play,

877
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: so I would go Gordon, Brian's not going on the

878
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: Gronk cruise anytime soon. No, apparently not. No, I would

879
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: go on that. I'm going on the ground Glass Pick cruise.

880
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: I don't think you're invited to the ground was anymore

881
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: as what I'm saying I have said Josh Gordon as well.

882
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: He's already applied for reinstatement. He'd signed another deal with

883
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: the Pets in the offseason. He's just waiting for the

884
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: league to let him back in. Gronk might return, but

885
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,280
Speaker 1: it might not be until November or December or whenever

886
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,359
Speaker 1: he decides to come back. And while he's a huge

887
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: different maker, we don't know if he wants to return,

888
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: and Gordon does want to return, we don't know when

889
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 1: either we'll get back. But Gordon has the inside track

890
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: on getting back sooner. You you started to hit on

891
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: the main point of this entire Russian map, but you

892
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 1: missed it. You're so close, though. It is really all

893
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 1: about the timing on this last pick, because we're really

894
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,720
Speaker 1: asking which guy could start the season with the team,

895
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: because in reality, with this last pick of the draft,

896
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: you're not going to hold that spot if it doesn't

897
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: work out either guy, You're gonna churn that spot in

898
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: week one if neither guy plays in Week one. So

899
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: now what we're really asking is which guy is more

900
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: likely to play week one. Gronk has the strong advantage

901
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: because he only needs to decide I'd like to play,

902
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: and then he's on the team and he's playing, whereas

903
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon has to wait for Roger Goodell to decide

904
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 1: he can play. And the wheels of justice turned very,

905
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 1: very slowly and arbitrarily with the league. Anybody you draft

906
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: in the last round is a total crap chute. But

907
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,959
Speaker 1: how many of them have the upside of Rob Gronkowski?

908
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: What tough question? Number two? Zeke in the late first round,

909
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley in the early second round, and then Melvin

910
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: Gordon in the late third round. Is that draft strategy

911
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: so crazy it just might work? Matt, You know, Church,

912
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: this question was pretty tough. That is pretty tough. My

913
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:55,760
Speaker 1: thalamus has been injured. Yeah, it's caused my consciousness, sleep

914
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,399
Speaker 1: in memory to be severely damaged. Here I can tell

915
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: from the last question really, it made me think that

916
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: there's way too much risk here. Even if Zeke and

917
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: Gordon do return, they're running backs, and running backs are

918
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: always the biggest injury risk. Plus Girley isn't healthy. Don't

919
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: let anyone tell you different. Darryl Henderson was drafted to

920
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: be his replacement, not a complimentary piece. And these are

921
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: your top three picks that you might never get to play.

922
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: I think it's too crazy. I would rather go with

923
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: a guy like Davante Adams or Michael Thomas in the

924
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: late first, you could get Cook Mixing or Chubb in

925
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: the second. You could get Tyreek Hilled, Digs or Aaron

926
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,240
Speaker 1: Jones in the third. And on't you feel better about Thomas,

927
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: Chubb and Tyreek Hill over Zeke Gurley and Gordon Brian.

928
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 1: You're not guaranteed to do well in your league if

929
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,280
Speaker 1: you draft three perfectly healthy running backs or three running

930
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: backs not throwing to hold out and uh, you know,

931
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: and these guys are risks to holdouts in one for

932
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: or you know, bad knee. So I don't have much

933
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: to add on top of mats out other than it

934
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: is kind of too crazy to work. I would never

935
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 1: do it. Uh. The cars have to fall too right

936
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: for the to work. So I'm out. Yeah, you guys

937
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: cracked the code on this one. It is just crazy

938
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 1: as appealing as it sounds to get three of what

939
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: would have been you know, going into the season. You know,

940
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: a month ago, that felt like three of the top

941
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,479
Speaker 1: five or six running backs. But where we are now

942
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 1: with all three of those guys. Even though you can

943
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: only spend a late third rounder in Melvin Gordon and

944
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: get Todd Gurley in the second round, you can't take

945
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: all that risk onto one team. You are asking for

946
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: suicide for your fantasy squad. To bring that much a

947
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: risk upon it tough question number three. It's almost impossible

948
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: to predict injury, so you know, let's just start there.

949
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 1: But just for the sake of this exercise, let's assume

950
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: Devanta Freeman will stay healthy all year. If he does,

951
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: if he plays the six team games, will he finish

952
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: as an RB one, an r B two, or a

953
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 1: flex level running back? Brian? That is one hell of

954
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: an assumption to stay healthy all year. But if he does,

955
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,399
Speaker 1: I gotta go Freeman as an RB one. UM Last year,

956
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: Freeman did not play at all. Maybe you played the

957
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 1: first week, but essentially did not play at all, but

958
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: officially logged two starts. Atlanta running backs as a whole

959
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: finished bottom five from a fantasy perspective. The year is

960
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: prior uh in seventeen, they were top ten, they were

961
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: first overall. Granted, they had Kyle Shanahan as r O

962
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: c's now the head coach of the forty niners, but

963
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: you know, some of those schematics are still in place,

964
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 1: and Atlanta invested a lot of draft capital in their

965
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 1: offensive line for the second round pick. And so if

966
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: Freeman stays healthy, Tevin Coleman gone that he will get

967
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: spelled by either Edo Smith, Brian Hill, or Quadri Allison,

968
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 1: but not of those guys are very threatening to actually

969
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: eat into his actual workloads. So stays healthy RB one okay,

970
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 1: will devote Freeman. Matt Finish as an RB one RB

971
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: two reflects. I looked at the offense from last year

972
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: and their philosophy completely changed on the Atlanta side when

973
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: Freeman went down, and then the team got better um

974
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 1: and basically the same amount of passing attempts last year

975
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: sixty three versus six forty two, the Falcons through for

976
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: nine hundred more yards and had eleven more total touchdowns.

977
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: On offense, they got better when they stopped running the ball.

978
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: They started being a passing team. They passed on sixty

979
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: of their plays. Last year, they had the third fewest

980
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: rushing plays in the league. They went from two three

981
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:26,280
Speaker 1: shotgun snaps in to five hundred twenty five last season,

982
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: almost doubled it. They're going to be a passing team

983
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: from now on. So I don't think DeVante Freeman is

984
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 1: any better than a low end RB two. They finished

985
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,399
Speaker 1: seven and nine. How are they getting so much better?

986
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 1: Their offense improved, their defense might have been these. Uh.

987
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 1: First of all, let's dispel the notion that DeVonta Freeman

988
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: is injury prone. It's not as bad as you probably

989
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 1: think out there. We we tend to remember last year

990
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 1: much more clearly than the previous. You don't have to

991
00:52:56,440 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: dispel that notion. You said he's gonna be healthy all year. Well, okay, true.

992
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 1: He played at least fourteen games in every season until

993
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 1: last year, So there's that at least fourteen games by

994
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,320
Speaker 1: running back standards, that's pretty darn good. He's one of

995
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: the leagu's highest paid running backs. DeVonta Freeman is, and

996
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: the Falcons only got the two games out of him

997
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 1: last year. They they're gonna want some return on that

998
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,760
Speaker 1: investment um and they also don't want to put their

999
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: their most important player, Matt Ryan, at risk with all

1000
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: of those dropbacks. Remember Atlanta's is an excellent overall offense.

1001
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: They scored the six of the eighth most points last year.

1002
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 1: Ask yourself, this can a a proven successful workhorse. Back

1003
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 1: to Brian's point, who has no real, no real competition

1004
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 1: on the depth chart on a team that scored the

1005
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: eighth most point last year being RB one, Heck yeah, absolutely,

1006
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 1: RB one, DeVonta freeman. They're gonna pass all day. Well,

1007
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 1: they might pass all day. Uh. Maybe. We love keeper

1008
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: dynasty and Empire leagues, and we're here to help make

1009

1010
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: just this year but in years to come. If you're

Speaker 1: we're ready to help those of you in keeper dynasty

1027
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: Empire league. Tell listeners what an Empire league is. Well,

1028
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: I can tell you a few things. It's like a

1029
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 1: dynasty league. And you know what a dynasty league is.

1030
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 1: A dynasty everybody. You carry everybody over the next year.

1031
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 1: Don't say you're in a dynasty league. By the way,

1032
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: if you have three keepers, yeah that's not That's exactly right. Okay,

1033
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: So dynasty league, you hold over everybody. The caveats with

1034
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 1: the Empire League number one. Every year, half of the

1035
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: money that you guys pay into your league pot gets

1036
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: saved in a rolling Empire Pot. That pot continues to

1037
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 1: grow and grow a year after year until somebody wins

1038
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 1: that pot twice or the wins the wins the league

1039
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,879
Speaker 1: twice in a row. Then they get the Empire Pot.

1040
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 1: In in our Empire League that we started se seven

1041
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: years ago, it has I think seventy entry fee, so

1042
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 1: that's kind of fun. And of course the other half

1043
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: goes to the yearly winner the other the other half

1044
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 1: goes to for a second third, that kind of thing.

1045
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 1: The second part of this, when somebody wins that Empire

1046
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: League and they win the Empire Pot, the league is done.

1047
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:31,239
Speaker 1: It's over. Disband the league, you can start a new one.

1048
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: It's it's done. Though. I love that part because in

1049
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 1: fantasy football, normally you only have the most recent champion

1050
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: or the most recent winner is Brian Johnson. You don't

1051
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 1: have the winner. There's never the winner the league. You

1052
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 1: can never say I won the league, except in an

1053
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 1: Empire league. When you go back to back and you

1054
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: cash that check for that year's pot, the ruling Empire Pot,

1055
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 1: and the league disbands, you won that league absolutely. Now.

1056
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:05,879
Speaker 1: One of the rules that we put in that's that's

1057
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:09,359
Speaker 1: pretty big rule. The winner from the previous year, the

1058
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 1: the guy going for the second win in a row,

1059
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 1: we don't allow that team to trade. And that's what

1060
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 1: makes it much more difficult. Does It's a collusion measure

1061
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 1: that we want to make sure. Hey, now this pot

1062
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: is getting pretty big, we're not gonna have We're gonna

1063
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 1: have Brian trade and all of his good players to

1064
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: charge so he can win in the second year. So yeah,

1065
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: it's it's an anti collusion measure, and it makes it

1066
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 1: much more difficult and interesting. One Nlike other dynasty leagues,

1067
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 1: every other dynast dynasty league ends at some point. An

1068
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: Empire League will never end unless someone wins. Because of

1069
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 1: the Empire Pot. One manager owner wanted to leave the league.

1070
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: You guys was talking about the original Empire. You're walking

1071
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: away from your part of im in immediately bought that organ. Yeah,

1072
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: so I'm all yeah, So that Empire pot insures the

1073
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: league goes on until it comes to a people don't

1074
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: leave your league either. Now. The other thing that's great

1075
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: about the Empire League when you are the reigning champion

1076
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 1: and there are eleven other teams whose sole purpose is

1077
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: to stop you, man, is that fun? You are wearing

1078
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: the black hat all season long, everybody gunning to stop you.

1079
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: I am one of those right now in in in

1080
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: our second Empire League that we do in our office,

1081
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 1: and man, it's not looking good with Zeke on my

1082
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 1: roster and Kill and A J. Green on my roster

1083
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 1: so far. That's why it makes it difficult to repeat

1084
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: as a champion. I can't trade right now. If you

1085
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:36,440

1089
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: are you ready to polish your crystal balls? Are any

1090
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: other balls? I suppose let's look ahead twenty twenty one

1091
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 1: one three years from now, and I'm gonna give you

1092
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: a series of rookies. I want you to tell me

1093
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: whether or not you think they're going to be meaningful

1094
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 1: fantasy producers three years from now. For these rookies, are

1095
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 1: you going all or nothing? Thumbs up, thumbs down? Meaningful?

1096
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 1: Not meaningful? Because life hasn't worked out. You know you

1097
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: could be quarterback fifteen. That's that's a perfectly fine answer. Yes,

1098
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 1: we begin and by the way I'm throwing out obvious guys.

1099
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: Daph mcgoverery is great and he's gonna be great, and

1100
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: nobody even needs to hear that. I'm giving you bubble

1101
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: guys that I think could go either way. Correct. Dwayne

1102
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: Haskins the quarterback for the Washington Redskins. What are your thoughts?

1103
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 1: Is he a meaningful fantasy contributor? In is there a

1104
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: meaningful contributor on the entire Washington Redskins team? In one

1105
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 1: is the question. I don't know. It'll be a new

1106
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:54,959
Speaker 1: coaching staff, I can tell you that much. Yeah, nothing

1107
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 1: seems to work out in Washington. They certainly don't have

1108
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: a ton of exciting weapons right now. He needs more

1109
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 1: talent around him, first and foremost. No matter how good

1110
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 1: of a quarterback he is, I need to round him

1111
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 1: some talent. But speaking to his talent, you don't hear

1112
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: anything too exciting about Dwayne Haskins. He's not a runner.

1113
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: He's not very mobile, No, he's not. He's very average there,

1114
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 1: and he's he's got a good arm, but he's not.

1115
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: They don't have a scream accuracy, and I don't know,

1116
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 1: so to me, he's not someone I'm gonna target for

1117
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: a long term success. So I'm just gonna quickly say, no,

1118
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 1: he's probably a backup quarterback in the NFL in three years.

1119
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: And you said it, Charch. They're probably looking at an

1120
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 1: organizational shift there, a new coaching staff, maybe a new GM.

1121
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: If that happens, what do they do They bring in

1122
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 1: their new quarterback. They bring in their new guy. Washington

1123
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: might be a top five pick in the draft this year. Yes,

1124
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 1: they're going to draft a quarterback. That's exactly what I

1125
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: was going to say. They're going to go Cardinals on this.

1126
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna go first round quarterback this year, first round

1127
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: quarterback next year. And remember coaching staff that has no

1128
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 1: allegiance to Dwayne Haskin. It wasn't long ago when Dan

1129
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: Snyder's team picked Robert Griffin the third and then Kirk

1130
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 1: Cousins later in that draft. Good point. Daniel Jones quarterback

1131
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: for the Giants. Is he a meaningful fantasy contributor? Well,

1132
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 1: Eli will be long gone, so it will be his team.

1133
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: And uh, he'll still have se Kwon for one more

1134
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: year on the rookie deal. So I think Daniel Jones

1135
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 1: will be like a quarterback t Ish in the drafts

1136
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: to three years from now. So I guess in a

1137
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: super flex league he's meaningful. Let's go to our former

1138
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: Giants desk, Brian Johnson no longer the Giants. You've thrown

1139
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: away your Giants allegiance in this offseason after the Odell

1140
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 1: Beckham trade. But I still don't get very plugged into

1141
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: that organization. What do you think it was really after

1142
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 1: the Jones pick? And it's not because I always be good,

1143
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 1: be good in three years? I think, well, I was

1144
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 1: on the ropes after the Beckham trade. This is all

1145
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:50,960
Speaker 1: about gentleman, so we don't know. Didn't even get into that.

1146
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: But yet they reached way too much on Jones in

1147
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: real life anyway. Uh, Jones did look good last night,

1148
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: only through five passes, completed them all. Um, No, he'll

1149
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: have no competition unlike Washington. I don't think the Giants

1150
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: can afford the pr nightmare of taking another quarterback early

1151
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 1: in the first round anytime soon. So Evan Ingram is

1152
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 1: an elite tight end talent. Sterling Shepherd Golden Tape probably

1153
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 1: still be milling around. They do need to add an

1154
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 1: elite receiver along the Odell Beckham like that guy they

1155
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: had traded away. But I think as long as Geelman

1156
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 1: gets fired too, because that whole team has doomed as

1157
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 1: long as heason charge. But as long as Geedelman's gone,

1158
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,440
Speaker 1: they get a received right I think, Yes, Okay, I

1159
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: don't get Daniel Jones a beat that down and say

1160
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:31,919
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a good quarterback do to Actually, I'm

1161
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 1: you know, I think there's there's a lot of reasons

1162
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 1: to think that he He certainly has the opportunity there.

1163
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 1: Let's let's hope that he can put it together and

1164
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: be a meaningful fantasy provider. Next, let's go to the

1165
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: running back position. Where do you know some of the

1166
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 1: guys that are walking into great spots? These are more

1167
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: of the bubble running backs that aren't as obvious. Let's

1168
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 1: start with Darryl Henderson, the running back for the Rams.

1169
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: Do you believe he will be a meaningful contributor in

1170
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 1: one You would have to think so, because none of

1171
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: us believe that Todd really right. You know what, He'll

1172
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 1: still be getting paid, though girly might be it'll be

1173
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 1: dead cap space, but he'll still be getting paid. That

1174
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 1: that could be the case. I don't think. I think

1175
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: Gurley isn't gonna make it through this year without being

1176
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 1: on I R. I think he's gonna finish the season

1177
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 1: on I are we They're already gonna use him in

1178
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 1: a Chris Thompson type type role. Um Sean Payton said,

1179
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 1: not Sean Payton, Um, I might blanking, but Sean McVeigh, McVey,

1180
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 1: thank you, And uh so he'll have a roll right

1181
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: off the bat. He'll be on the field, and you know,

1182
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 1: they say he has three down potential, and you know

1183
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 1: Gurley's health very questionable, Girly goes down, All signs point

1184
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 1: to Montgomery stepping in, so we'll say, yeah. So the

1185
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 1: only thing I'll add to this is when Sean McVeigh

1186
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 1: showed up in Los Angeles, he had Todd Gurley, he

1187
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 1: had a bell cow running back. That might not be

1188
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 1: Sean mcveigh's forte of the offense he wants to run,

1189
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: and he might want to run more of the Philly

1190
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 1: or New England style offense with a running back by committee,

1191
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 1: which by the way, he did in Washington. So Chris

1192
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 1: Thompson and the rotation of backs they were using there now, granted,

1193
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:00,919
Speaker 1: none of them are gonna go it. That's the thing.

1194
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 1: That kind of that was the rug match Kelly Years

1195
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 1: just a little bit here, and man, I just think

1196
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: that Henderson great talent, but he might be looking at

1197
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: a time share as early as next year with somebody

1198
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 1: not named Todd Gurley. I think there's a chance Darrell

1199
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 1: Henderson's the top five running back running back in one

1200
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 1: because of the offense that he's in and Todd Gurley

1201
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 1: is gonna be gone. That's it. I don't think it's

1202
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 1: any more complicated than that elite offense. Excellent talent at Memphis.

1203
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: I like Darrell Henderson. Let's go to Devin Singletary, the

1204
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,919
Speaker 1: rookie running back now on the Bills. Let's project forward

1205
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 1: to one. We don't have to worry about Frank Gore

1206
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 1: m Irie. Come on, we don't have to worry about

1207
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: the Shawan McCoy and Tony twenty one. In theory gonfl

1208
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: Frank Or won't be on the Bills, He'll be on

1209
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 1: the card or something, right, It'll be somewhere else that

1210
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 1: will be an expansion team that he'll be, all right, Matt,

1211
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary meaningful contributor in one for your dynasty or

1212
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: empire team. My problem, miss I don't know if I

1213
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: can trust Josh Allen, and if I can't trust the

1214
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 1: quarterback in the offense, then the coach gets fired, and

1215
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 1: then the GM gets fired, and then everybody gets fired.

1216
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 1: So I'm just worried about Singletary in that vein where

1217
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: I don't trust anything that's happening in Buffalo. So I'm

1218
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 1: not going to trust Singletary to be a meaningful contributor. Yeah,

1219
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 1: I I worry that he's not a workhorse, that he

1220
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: isn't built for a workhorses load, that he's he's not

1221
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 1: necessarily scat back. But I don't I don't see him

1222
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: have some bruising runs on Thursday night. But that's a

1223
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 1: small sample size, of course, sat back not Yeah, yeah,

1224
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 1: not a bell cow. He's not a bell cown. Sorry,

1225
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. I think he will be a meaningful contributor,

1226
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 1: but he will not be an elite, high end contributor

1227
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 1: like Darryl Henderson might be. Let's go to Damien Harris.

1228
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 1: He's the He's the third round rookie that the Patriots

1229
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 1: took so a surprise people after they took Sony Michelle

1230
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 1: in the first round the previous year. What are your thoughts,

1231
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: and Damien Harris is a meaningful contributor in one. I

1232
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 1: don't like looking three weeks down the line and right,

1233
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:08,560
Speaker 1: so looking three years down the line, I don't know.

1234
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm just out. I don't know, I'm just well, how

1235
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 1: about Tom Brady? Right? Definitely know theory. No, Tom Brady

1236
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 1: and we do. They don't have a succession plan. Belichick's

1237
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: gotta retire as soon as Brady's gone to right right.

1238
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 1: I hope he doesn't, just so we can finally get

1239
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 1: an answer to whether or not Belichick goes at all

1240
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 1: to Brady or Brady's at all to Belichick. I want

1241
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,479
Speaker 1: to say, I want to see Belichick do it without Brady.

1242
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 1: How about this for a bold prediction. Tom Brady a

1243
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 1: member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in just to see

1244
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 1: if he can win one without Belichick. He already put

1245
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 1: his home up on the market this last week. He's

1246
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 1: he's not guaranteed any money past this year. He's a

1247
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 1: basic free agent next year. That be weird. Belichick wants

1248
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 1: to probably win one without Brady. Brady probably wins. Wants

1249
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 1: to win one without Belichick to prove their legacies. What

1250
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:01,240
Speaker 1: about Tom Brady? In a different spot. Next year, it'd

1251
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 1: be it'd be weird, but not impossible. We've learned it,

1252
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 1: you know how. In fact, I'll the most Hall of Famers.

1253
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 1: It feels like end up Hall of Famers end up

1254
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 1: finishing their career somewhere in Minnesota, Farvin, Minnesota, Montana, in

1255
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 1: Kansas City. You know, it's just at the bitter end,

1256
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 1: there's usually some other team that's ready to Peyton Manning,

1257
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice in Seattle and then Denver exactly ended it

1258
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 1: like four times. Deebo Samuel is the wide receiver for

1259
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners, already expected to start this year.

1260
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 1: I think this is a pretty clear case of yes, yeah,

1261
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 1: I love Deebo. Uh. He's very fast, not tall, only

1262
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 1: five eleven, but he's built like a brick house. He's

1263
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: like he was. I think he's very Percy Harvin. Like

1264
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:48,960
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, an Kin Bolden with an extra gear,

1265
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 1: how Bolden was. I don't think Bolden was big. He

1266
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 1: was tall. That he was Bolden was. He was super thick.

1267
01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 1: He was super thick. Balden, please six one tops on.

1268
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 1: Bolden wasn't that tall. Debo is gonna have an impact

1269
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 1: of this year and down the line, Deebo Samuel is

1270
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 1: gonna be a monster called six one nicely dumb. That's

1271
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 1: two one, just taller than five. And I think that

1272
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: j j Arthagajaja white Side Jaws calling him Jos Jaws

1273
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:25,639
Speaker 1: wide receiver for Phili Delphia taken in the second round.

1274
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 1: Look good so far. A couple of years from now

1275
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 1: to Sean Jackson probably not playing at that point. He's

1276
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 1: already very long into his career and there's not there's

1277
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 1: not a lot standing between him and starting by then,

1278
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 1: and with with Carson Wentz only you know, presumably even

1279
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 1: better then. I think this is almost a lock that

1280
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: j j Arthaga white Side is a contributor. So your

1281
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 1: problem with Philly is they add three wide receivers to

1282
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 1: their offense every year. We still have al Shan, we

1283
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:01,639
Speaker 1: still have Nelson Agilar. Mac Hollins was a guy they're

1284
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:06,200
Speaker 1: excited about. They just keep adding random dudes. I'm not

1285
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:08,599
Speaker 1: saying I'm not saying mac Hollins is going to take

1286
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: not no, but they add so many guys and there's

1287
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,679
Speaker 1: so many mouths to feed in this offense. I think

1288
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 1: Jaws is going to be fighting for fifty catches seven

1289
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 1: hundred yards every year of his career just because Philly

1290
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 1: spreads the ball around. That's their motto is spread the

1291
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,559
Speaker 1: ball around. Nobody's bigger than this team. We're just gonna

1292
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,360
Speaker 1: keep moving it around. He looks different, he looks different,

1293
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:32,720
Speaker 1: he looks good and Alshon Jeffrey will be a free

1294
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:35,439
Speaker 1: agent if he stays. If they keep him, they can come.

1295
01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 1: I'm starting next year to save a cap space, So

1296
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:42,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. Jaws six three, he's gonna present plenty

1297
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:44,599
Speaker 1: of mismatches. And uh, I love that both his parents

1298
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:47,400
Speaker 1: played pro basketball. That's pretty speaking of parents that played

1299
01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 1: bro IRV Smith junior, last guy. I want to talk

1300
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:53,760
Speaker 1: about the tight end for the Vikings currently behind Kyle Rudolph.

1301
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 1: Is he a contributor in one? So Rudolph will have

1302
01:09:57,439 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 1: moved on Kirk Cousins contract. You may have moved on

1303
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 1: who knows. Um it might be the end of the

1304
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 1: Vikings window of opportunities, so they might have moved on

1305
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,679
Speaker 1: from guys like Dig Steal and Cook Cousins. If Smith

1306
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 1: might be the best guy on that offense and sitting

1307
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 1: around at that point, So I think IRV Smith is

1308
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 1: probably a guy that three years from now we're looking

1309
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 1: at as a top tennis fantasy tight end. Sounds very good.

1310
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: I think, uh, I think you're looking at a very

1311
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:26,720
Speaker 1: probable top ten fantasy tight end for er Smith at

1312
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: that point. Our final topics are ahead when we reveal

1313
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:33,639
Speaker 1: our strategies for crushing a best ball draft, and as always,

1314
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 1: we end our show by revealing our favorite sleepers. All

1315
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 1: of that coming out Fantasy Football Weekly. This is Fantasy

1316
01:10:55,400 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. It's Fantasy Football Weekly final segment. I am

01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 1: find me at. Brian Johnson is my co host, but

1320
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 1: you're not a Brian Johnson. You're at B T x J.

1321
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 1: Whoever has got the at Brian Johnson, he got an

1322
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 1: early maybe a C D C guy the oh yeah

1323
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:30,679
Speaker 1: that yeah, they maybe he got a or the virgin

1324
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 1: in the breakfast Club was the same name, Brian Johnson.

1325
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 1: You're probably appraise of all of the Brian Johnson's that

1326
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 1: are out there. If you have to give the version

1327
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: at least so you CLAIMB. You have to give the

1328
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 1: most like generic name to some role in a book

1329
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:48,760
Speaker 1: or a movie or whatever. Brian Johnson. I mean it's

1330
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:50,640
Speaker 1: just like right down the middle of the fairway, right,

1331
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:56,040
Speaker 1: John Smith, but almost almost b t x J. But

1332
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:59,679
Speaker 1: John Smith sounds like you're trying to be anonymous, Brian

1333
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:03,320
Speaker 1: john It's just that's just like the most anonymous I heard.

1334
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 1: Kevin Bacon has played like seventeen characters named Jack. I

1335
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 1: think Jack is the most most middle of the fairway names.

1336
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:14,719
Speaker 1: Maybe uh at. That is the voice of Matt Harrison

1337
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:17,759
Speaker 1: at Explosive Output. Best Ball drafts have become big business

1338
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 1: because people love to draft, but they don't always want

1339
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 1: all the in season management. Matt explain how Best Ball

1340
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:27,840
Speaker 1: drafts were. Yeah, you can't expect to run like a

1341
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:30,719
Speaker 1: hundred Fantasy leagues if you want to draft that many.

1342
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:33,240
Speaker 1: But you can run a hundred Best Ball leagues pretty

1343
01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 1: easily because it's draft and hold that. That means you

1344
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 1: draft players at the beginning of the year and you

1345
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:42,559
Speaker 1: hold those guys all year long. I mean there's no

1346
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:46,640
Speaker 1: trade season managements, no waivers. Yes, there's no i R.

1347
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 1: Your team is your team the whole season, and the

1348
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 1: computer compiles your best starting lineup every week based on

1349
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 1: production after the fact. After the fact based on the

1350
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 1: production of that week. So if you have in week

1351
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: one Andrew Luck who scores twenty Fantasy points, and you

1352
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 1: have Andy Dalton as your backup who scores twenty one

1353
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 1: Fantasy points, you don't need to worry about it. Andy

1354
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 1: Dalton and he's your starter for that week, so he's

1355
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 1: thrust into your starting lineup. No lineup headaches there uh

1356
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 1: in best ball games and we prefer Best Ball tens

1357
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:20,680
Speaker 1: and Best Ball Tens dot com um. You play for

1358
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:22,760
Speaker 1: total points over the whole season. There's no head to

1359
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:26,080
Speaker 1: head matchups. You're starting lineup consists of one quarterback, two

1360
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 1: running backs, three wide receivers, a tight end aflex and

1361
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:32,439
Speaker 1: a and a defense special teams. You have twenty players

1362
01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:36,640
Speaker 1: on your rosters. Now generally you want to kind of

1363
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:40,879
Speaker 1: target players who are more boom or bust players. Safety

1364
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:43,160
Speaker 1: is not much of a concern seeing as how the

1365
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:45,960
Speaker 1: computer sets your lineup based on the results. Yeah, so

1366
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:47,800
Speaker 1: if I've got a bunch of let's you say, wide

1367
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 1: receivers that are boom er bust guys, tyrk Kill up

1368
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:52,080
Speaker 1: until last year was a classic boom er bust guy.

1369
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:56,360
Speaker 1: Marky's goodwin, Sean Jackson, I always perfect example of Tyler

1370
01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:58,479
Speaker 1: Lockett for years. You know, if you could find the

1371
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:02,280
Speaker 1: five good games for Tyler Lockett, Will Wolf Fuller, Yeah,

1372
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:04,920
Speaker 1: although really one healthy Will Fuller's almost every week. But

1373
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 1: you can have all the or many of those wide

1374
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 1: receivers not have to sweat. Is this the week that

1375
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson's got you? Just you know, the computer put

1376
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:16,439
Speaker 1: them in if you did go off. So if you

1377
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 1: normally you end up with six, seven, maybe eight wide

1378
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:21,800
Speaker 1: receivers on a best ball roster and a best ball tends,

1379
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:24,639
Speaker 1: now you look at the last like four or five

1380
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:26,920
Speaker 1: wide receivers on your roster and you go, I want

1381
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 1: three good weeks or maybe four good weeks out of

1382
01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:32,280
Speaker 1: these guys. If you can get three or four good

1383
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 1: weeks where they score fifteen to twenty points, you're golden.

1384
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 1: That's all you need the whole time. You just don't

1385
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:40,400
Speaker 1: want them to just give you goose eggs the whole season.

1386
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 1: You just need a couple of spike weeks. We call

1387
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 1: them spikes. Are are you know? The big spikes in production?

1388
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 1: My my favorite best ball strategy is two and preferably

1389
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 1: three rushing quarterbacks. Rushing quarterbacks give me a Lamar Jackson

1390
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 1: I can get, as you know, probably roughly quarterback fifteen.

1391
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:08,720
Speaker 1: Give me a another quasi or decent rushing quarterback in

1392
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:13,720
Speaker 1: maybe Josh Allen, third guy, Josh Allen perfect. In our

1393
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 1: current Best Ball ten's draft that we're doing in the

1394
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:18,160
Speaker 1: office right now, we're in about the tenth round. I

1395
01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:20,920
Speaker 1: have Kyler Murray. Yeah. I have Carson Wentz, who's not

1396
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 1: a bad runner. Yeah. Those those three three quarterbacks right there,

1397
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 1: and I'm just rolling with those three guys for the

1398
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,880
Speaker 1: whole season. I'm feeling really good about my quarterback play

1399
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:35,599
Speaker 1: for now. I like it. Best Ball strategies right there. Uh,

1400
01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things you consider. There's I want

1401
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:41,679
Speaker 1: to get to our sleepers, our favorite sleepers. Every every

1402
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:48,520
Speaker 1: week we release one sleeper each last week, Jalen Samuel's,

1403
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:51,640
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel, and Donte Moncrief. We were the three that

1404
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:53,680
Speaker 1: we gave you. Let's find out the three that we've

1405
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:55,680
Speaker 1: got here, and then we're gonna go through some of

1406
01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:58,479
Speaker 1: our bottom of the barrel starters and just find out

1407
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 1: how much you're willing, If you're willing two roster some

1408
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 1: of these bottom tier starters around the NFL. We begin

1409
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:08,639
Speaker 1: with Brian Johnson, your sleeper this week. Alright, I'm gonna

1410
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:11,280
Speaker 1: go for a guy in the tight end waste land

1411
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 1: that really isn't getting drafted in a lot of leagues,

1412
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 1: and that is Darren Waller of the Oakland Raiders. Wow,

1413
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 1: that's Waller. I don't have a lot of stats to

1414
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:26,800
Speaker 1: reel off experience, but he's drafted by Baltimore as a

1415
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:30,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver in UM he went over to Oakland a

1416
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:32,280
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, spent last year, is Jared Cook's

1417
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 1: primary backup. And we all saw how involved Jared Cook

1418
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:39,160
Speaker 1: was in that Oakland offense. And right now Oakland is

1419
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:42,759
Speaker 1: even more than a wide receiver, having acquired Antonio Brown somehow,

1420
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:46,559
Speaker 1: so they are very short on pass catchers and as

1421
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:49,639
Speaker 1: a converted converted wide receiver, Waller's route tree is far

1422
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 1: more advanced than a lot of tight ends. And there's

1423
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 1: nothing but good reports coming out of camp about this kid.

1424
01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:56,760
Speaker 1: And like his workout metrics are off the charts, like

1425
01:16:56,800 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 1: six six to fifty runs a sub four five forty

1426
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:03,960
Speaker 1: and uh it's his job to lose. And uh, he's

1427
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 1: a last round dart that I'm throwing all day long.

1428
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:12,240
Speaker 1: Darren Wall or tight end Oakland Raiders. All Right, Matt,

1429
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 1: who is your sleeper this week? He's Mine's not as

1430
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 1: deep minds Littavius Murray of the New Orleans Saints. People

1431
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 1: are drafting Murray as a significant downgrade to what mark

1432
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 1: Ingram was in seventeen. Ingram's ADP last year was in

1433
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:31,599
Speaker 1: the fourth or fifth round. Lottavius Murray's going in like

1434
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:35,240
Speaker 1: the eighth right now, um the Saints have. The Saints

1435
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:39,759
Speaker 1: running backs have combined to score twenty seven touchdowns in

1436
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 1: twenty seven touchdowns in seen twenty four touchdowns in sixteen.

1437
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:47,600
Speaker 1: And that was mark Ingram and Tim high Tower. That

1438
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 1: was pre Alvin Kamara. The Saints have been a top

1439
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 1: three running back Fantasy points producer in each of the

1440
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 1: last five years. They're not thought of as a a

1441
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 1: running team, but they are a running team, a legit

1442
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 1: running team. So if you factor in that Kamara could

1443
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 1: equal his touchdown production for last year and get eighteen again,

1444
01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:12,439
Speaker 1: that leaves you nine touchdowns to go around to other

1445
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 1: running backs in that group. And Murray's approven downhill runner.

1446
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:19,120
Speaker 1: He's a goal line threat. He's a team that utilizes

1447
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:22,639
Speaker 1: running backs more efficiently than anyone. Only thirteen running backs

1448
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 1: at eight or more touchdowns last year, and I think

1449
01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 1: Murray gets at least eight this year. Um. That puts

1450
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 1: him in the conversation with guys who scored eight last year,

1451
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 1: like Aaron Jones, Philip Lindsay, David Johnson. Did you know

1452
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:38,599
Speaker 1: Zeke had seven total touchdowns last year? Lottavius Murray might

1453
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 1: be outscoring Zeke in touchdowns this year. And he's going

1454
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:44,679
Speaker 1: in the seventh daighth round in the neighborhood of Royce

1455
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 1: Freeman and Jordan Howard. I would much rather have Latavius

1456
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 1: Murray than either Royce Freeman or Jordan Howard. You know

1457
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:57,400
Speaker 1: what he is, what vulture? A possible vulture, Latavius Murray. Um.

1458
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:00,439
Speaker 1: I The part I don't like about Latavius Mury his game,

1459
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:02,320
Speaker 1: and this is where I'm going to disagree with you,

1460
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:06,160
Speaker 1: is zero lateral movement whatsoever when he's on the field.

1461
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:08,200
Speaker 1: You all you gotta do is stack between between the

1462
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 1: hash marks and Lottavius Murray's dead. I did say downhill running.

1463
01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:14,120
Speaker 1: He is a down He is very much a downhill runner,

1464
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:18,040
Speaker 1: and I don't think he's nearly as good as Mark Ingram,

1465
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:20,719
Speaker 1: and I think Alvin Camara is gonna see an uptick

1466
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 1: in total usage by ten or and the stretch. I've

1467
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: got Camara number one overall because primarily I don't believe

1468
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:35,160
Speaker 1: in Lottavius Murray. That said opportunity counts for a lot,

1469
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:38,320
Speaker 1: and he is gonna get a little bit of the

1470
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:41,519
Speaker 1: gold line work as the vulture, and there's a he's

1471
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:43,240
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those guys you can just start

1472
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:45,880
Speaker 1: in the dart throw as as a bye week guy. Absolutely,

1473
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 1: that's might that might be it. I don't think he's

1474
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:49,920
Speaker 1: an RB two, but I think he's a He's a

1475
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 1: decent flex play and right, that's Latavius Murray my sleeper

1476
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:58,960
Speaker 1: this week. Another running back Detroit's running back see J Anderson.

1477
01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 1: Let's talk about yeah. But the difference is c J

1478
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:08,840
Speaker 1: Anderson has a thirteen round a DP. That's the difference here.

1479
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:12,800
Speaker 1: Um let me give you this quote from Lions offensive

1480
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 1: coordinator Darryl Bevil quote. I'm not gonna do the voice,

1481
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 1: all right, I'm Darryl Bevil exactly know, even though I've

1482
01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:26,160
Speaker 1: talked to him, will always be about running the football.

1483
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 1: We want to be a tough, hard nosed physical football team.

1484
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:32,680
Speaker 1: We want to be able to exert our will on

1485
01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 1: our opponents. That's what Darryl Bevil said. Coaches never lie

1486
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:39,720
Speaker 1: to the media. You know, I don't think this one's

1487
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 1: a lie, and I've got data to back it up here. Ready,

1488
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 1: the Lions are going to run the ball a lot,

1489
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:49,639
Speaker 1: a lot. First, Matt Patricia grew up in the Patriots system.

1490
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:53,240
Speaker 1: Of course, he was the defensive longtime defensive coordinator. Um

1491
01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:56,439
Speaker 1: that was from twenty twelve to twenty seventeen. He was

1492
01:20:56,520 --> 01:21:01,240
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. Matt Patricia was. During his tenure, the Patriots

1493
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 1: ran the ball the sixth most times, despite having Tom

1494
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:10,720
Speaker 1: Brady at quarterback six most times. Now, I ask you,

1495
01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:16,599
Speaker 1: were the Patriots successful between twelve and twenties seventeen. Yes, yes,

1496
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:21,960
Speaker 1: he saw the blueprint. Matt Patricia saw what worked running

1497
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 1: the ball, though I don't think that necessarily factors in

1498
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:32,479
Speaker 1: here theoretic. Oh my god. Well, well that's another good reason.

1499
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:35,200
Speaker 1: We'll even We'll get to that in a second. Now.

1500
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:40,599
Speaker 1: In so, let's let's rewind the clock two seasons for Detroit.

1501
01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:46,000
Speaker 1: The year before Matt Patricia arrived, the Lions ran the

1502
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 1: second fewest times in the NFL second fewest. Then last

1503
01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:54,920
Speaker 1: year Matt Patricia shows up and he starts the new blueprint.

1504
01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 1: They go from ranking thirty one in rushes to eighteen

1505
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:05,559
Speaker 1: in rushing attempts. That's not a coincidence. Now they bring

1506
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:08,639
Speaker 1: a new offensive coordinator, Darryl Bubble. They afore mentioned Darryl

1507
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:14,920
Speaker 1: Bubble as offensive coordinator in Minnesota and Seattle, Bevil's teams

1508
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:19,240
Speaker 1: ran the ball the second most times in the NFL. Now,

1509
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 1: let's note that he had Adrian Peterson and Marshawn Lynch

1510
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:26,679
Speaker 1: as his two running backs runners. Yeah, kind of Hall

1511
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:29,479
Speaker 1: of fame guys. So he's not looking at Hall of

1512
01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:33,559
Speaker 1: Fame caliber boys here, And hold on what I'm not saying.

1513
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 1: C J. Anderson's a Hall of famer, not even close.

1514
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:38,240
Speaker 1: Carrie On Johnson's a damn good back, and we don't

1515
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:40,040
Speaker 1: know how good he could be in his second year.

1516
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 1: And this isn't even a ballt carry On Johnson, who,

1517
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:44,639
Speaker 1: by the way, I love for all the same reasons.

1518
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:47,599
Speaker 1: And I've got Carrie On Johnson safely inside my top ten.

1519
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:50,040
Speaker 1: Can you name other than theoretic one of those running

1520
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:54,439
Speaker 1: backs from that played for Detroit though sack center one

1521
01:22:54,479 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 1: that actually played now, Amir Abdullah, Yeah, that's probably one.

1522
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 1: Darryl of those teams as offensive coordinator have averaged thirty

1523
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 1: rushes per game. Thirty. Now, Carrie Johnson's a mortal. He

1524
01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:12,000
Speaker 1: is not going to carry the ball thirty times a game.

1525
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 1: At most, he will be like twenty where the other

1526
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:17,880
Speaker 1: ten gonna go. Well, not theoretic, he's gone. You didn't

1527
01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 1: carry the ball anyway. It's not probably Zack Center all

1528
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 1: of a sudden as a work horse. It's going to

1529
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 1: go to c. J. Anderson, the guy that they brought in. C. J.

1530
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:27,840
Speaker 1: Anderson is going to get a lot of work and

1531
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 1: a run heavy offense is current ADP is thirteen. No

1532
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 1: nervousness about game script. Failing Detroit this year. Um, that

1533
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 1: defense got a lot better at the moment they brought

1534
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 1: in snacks Harrison. The whole defense got so much better. Snacks, Um.

1535
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:49,400
Speaker 1: And by the way, the Giants are so dumb, And

1536
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:51,519
Speaker 1: why would you give up snacks Harrison? All then all

1537
01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 1: teams that was run right through the Giants. Never give

1538
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:59,040
Speaker 1: up your snacks. Never give up your snacks. Lesson learned Um,

1539
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:04,280
Speaker 1: most like to say, uh, snacks Harrison, never mind? Okay,

1540
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:07,200
Speaker 1: look we'll continue on. Thank you. Carry on, Johnson. I'm

1541
01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:10,080
Speaker 1: going to give you some of the bottom of the

1542
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:15,560
Speaker 1: barrel starters. These are the bottom two starters at their positions,

1543
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:17,120
Speaker 1: and I want you to tell me if you're willing

1544
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:20,160
Speaker 1: to pay their ADP price. Let's assume you have effectively

1545
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:22,559
Speaker 1: an unlimited number of roster spots, and you running out

1546
01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 1: of roster spots, but there's somebody else in the same

1547
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:31,160
Speaker 1: round that you could draft. Ryan Fitzpatrick going off the

1548
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:36,599
Speaker 1: board in round twenty three, you're in a round draft.

1549
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:40,000
Speaker 1: Oh goodness, Well, look I can't help, but that's what

1550
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:42,840
Speaker 1: that's where his ADP is right now. Well, he has

1551
01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 1: to be your backup quarterback in that scenario, and you

1552
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:48,800
Speaker 1: have to be draft drafting a backup quarterback and must

1553
01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:53,000
Speaker 1: be super flex because otherwise you're not gonna roster backup quarterback.

1554
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:55,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna, you know, roster running back. That's what we're

1555
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:57,400
Speaker 1: gonna pop off in camp or something like that. You're

1556
01:24:57,400 --> 01:24:59,040
Speaker 1: not gonna go with a scrubby quarterback. But if you

1557
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:03,320
Speaker 1: have to, like you said, if it's Patrick is intriguing magic.

1558
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:06,120
Speaker 1: So if I'm gonna take a dumpster dumpster dive at quarterback,

1559
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 1: it's fitz Patrick. Why not in a super flex league, Yes,

1560
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:15,439
Speaker 1: in a one quarterback league, No, Stu Bird is gonna

1561
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:18,679
Speaker 1: behind constantly. Miami is gonna be losing in almost every game,

1562
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:22,519
Speaker 1: and he's just gonna be hauling deep passes. When are

1563
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:24,439
Speaker 1: they going to give Josh Rose in the ball? That's

1564
01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 1: the question. Do you ever have to give Josh Rose

1565
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 1: in the ball? Because they got to figure out what

1566
01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 1: they got there in the top five. Again, next year,

1567
01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:35,080
Speaker 1: the Arizona figure out what they had in Josh Rosen,

1568
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 1: they got out. Well, Miami gets a whole year of

1569
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:45,840
Speaker 1: it though, right, Eli Manning going in the twenty fourth round. No, no, now,

1570
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:49,240
Speaker 1: we're all right, nobody nobody interested. Okay, let's go to

1571
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:52,120
Speaker 1: our bottom of the barrel starters at running back, your

1572
01:25:52,120 --> 01:26:02,200
Speaker 1: bottom two guys, Jordan Howard going uh in round number eight. Uh.

1573
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:06,280
Speaker 1: That's where I'd rather take guys like Latavious or guys

1574
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 1: like Darryl Henderson, maybe guys even like Kareem Hunt who

1575
01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 1: are going a little bit later, uh and Miles Sanders

1576
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:16,439
Speaker 1: from the same team. I generally want a little bit more. So. No,

1577
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:19,439
Speaker 1: I'm not taking Jordan Howard. Yeah, I've seen him going

1578
01:26:19,479 --> 01:26:21,760
Speaker 1: earlier than that in some drafts, which is criminal. Um,

1579
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 1: you know might think of that early either. I would,

1580
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:26,559
Speaker 1: I would wait for longer for even higher upside guys

1581
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:28,880
Speaker 1: like a Tony Pollard. For Dallas, I'd rather wait five

1582
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 1: rounds and grab him over Jordan. It was so tough

1583
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:33,960
Speaker 1: for Eagles running backs to get to the fifteen carry

1584
01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:37,880
Speaker 1: mark over the almost never happened. Almost never. Peterson's Doug Peterson.

1585
01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 1: This is what he's going to do. It's gonna be

1586
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:42,160
Speaker 1: a rotation. We saw it in the Thursday night preseason game.

1587
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 1: They're already sharing work and if someone steps up, it's

1588
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:48,559
Speaker 1: gonna be Miles Sanders. There's basically no questioning that Peyton

1589
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:53,720
Speaker 1: Barber round eleven, I mean, as the last starter, and

1590
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:55,800
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones doesn't scare me at all. Yeah, I'll take

1591
01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber in the eleventh. How much better is that

1592
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:05,799
Speaker 1: offense going to be under Bruce Arians on a regular basis?

1593
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:09,719
Speaker 1: Seven seven is the answer. Yes, all of the above.

1594
01:27:10,720 --> 01:27:13,960
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber. They did not. They watched the tape. Arians

1595
01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:16,639
Speaker 1: shows up, watches the tape of the whole season and decides,

1596
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 1: I don't need to make any change at the running

1597
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:22,680
Speaker 1: back position. Why because Peyton Barber is pretty good. He

1598
01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:25,200
Speaker 1: did grab his boy, Andre Ellington, though I'm not a

1599
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:32,200
Speaker 1: real uh, Marquis Brown is your number, your top drafted

1600
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 1: Baltimore receiver at round sixteen. I think CP mentioned it

1601
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:40,920
Speaker 1: on the show last week that Myles Boykin has kind

1602
01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:43,280
Speaker 1: of been the guy who's been popping off in camp. There.

1603
01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:47,160
Speaker 1: They seem to be a wide receiver by committee kind

1604
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 1: of a thing. And so I'm probably going to be

1605
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 1: the guy who takes the last of the Baltimore wide receivers,

1606
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:55,200
Speaker 1: just kind of like you take the Patriots running backs.

1607
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:58,679
Speaker 1: You mentioned Chris Moore, and there's Chris Moore steam right now. Yeah,

1608
01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 1: so I'm out on boy You know, Marquis. We knew

1609
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:03,479
Speaker 1: that it was gonna be a long set up for

1610
01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:06,400
Speaker 1: Brown because of the foot injury that was gonna take time,

1611
01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:09,559
Speaker 1: and you know he's already you know, not participating fully

1612
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:11,720
Speaker 1: in camp, and it's it looks like it's gonna be

1613
01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:13,960
Speaker 1: a long slow burn for Marquise Brown for him to

1614
01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:15,680
Speaker 1: get up to speed, get on the get on the

1615
01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:18,240
Speaker 1: field and everything else. I think I'm avoiding that. Kenny

1616
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:21,679
Speaker 1: Stills is the other bottom of the barrel, lowest ranks

1617
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:25,960
Speaker 1: starter round fourteen. Another great best ball is Ken Stills.

1618
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:31,240
Speaker 1: If you if you like stew Beard, you gotta like

1619
01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:33,479
Speaker 1: a deep threat like Kenny Stills because Stu Beard is

1620
01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:35,840
Speaker 1: gonna chuck the ball and Kenny Stills might be the

1621
01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:39,040
Speaker 1: guy who gets a yards and two touchdowns in a game.

1622
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:44,360
Speaker 1: The ultimate headache, though, is Ken good luck figuring that

1623
01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:47,000
Speaker 1: out started. I think last year had a good like

1624
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:48,880
Speaker 1: Week one or a couple of weeks of the season

1625
01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:54,040
Speaker 1: and then just evaporated after that injury, bad play. Thanks
