Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation,
Speaker 1: and whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show. Now,
Speaker 1: here's your host, Paul. It's Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm Paul
Speaker 1: Charchian from Guillotine Leaks dot com. But my cohort is
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson. Hey, Brian, Yeah, been a while, a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. Good to have you back on the show. Um.
Speaker 1: I can't say Matt filled in for you because you're
Speaker 1: both co hosts, but it's nice to have you back.
Speaker 1: I think you're you're here more often so it feels
Speaker 1: like you're co host one A. But but you're you know,
Speaker 1: but I love all my kids equally, all right, but
Speaker 1: can I be one A plus? Uh, we don't do
Speaker 1: pluses in the show. I thought of the off season,
Speaker 1: they're allowed. I thought we determined that if two yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what, I can't go there. I can't go there.
Speaker 1: The premise of the next several shows is we're going
Speaker 1: to look back and last year, go through every team
Speaker 1: and every notable player and give you sort of our
Speaker 1: key takeaways from the year, Like if there's one thing
Speaker 1: you need to know about every every one of the players,
Speaker 1: every meaningful player, Like you know, we're talking about guys
Speaker 1: that you generally started. You know, we're in the starts,
Speaker 1: start bench conversation every week. You know, what was the
Speaker 1: one thing to take away? They weren't blow sea level,
Speaker 1: that's right, not C minus level Sea level guys most
Speaker 1: weeks are higher on Fantasy Football Weekly. Um. So these
Speaker 1: are quick hit er observations. These are not in depth dives.
Speaker 1: But this is just a broad look at all of
Speaker 1: the players. And we're starting with the a f C East,
Speaker 1: which had uh turns out, you know, you don't think
Speaker 1: the C is a fantasy powerhouse, but there was a
Speaker 1: lot happening under the hood of the a f C East.
Speaker 1: There's certainly a powerhouse and there certain and that's Buffalo.
Speaker 1: Let's let's just start right there. Makes sense. Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: I think this last year proved that the year before
Speaker 1: was not a fluke. His running throwing combo makes him
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football's most reliable and most potent fantasy quarterback. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a guy I think even in one quarterback leagues,
Speaker 1: I don't think we'll see him taking in a lot
Speaker 1: of first rounds, but mid to late second, early third,
Speaker 1: which I know we probably saw Lamar Jackson going that
Speaker 1: early on a couple of years ago, coming off his
Speaker 1: massive season, and that was kind of disappointment. But Alan's
Speaker 1: got that same upside. He's an absolute game changer at
Speaker 1: the position, which I'm sure you're gonna dive into a
Speaker 1: little more. Great passers don't have his rushing and great
Speaker 1: rushers don't have his passing. He is the only quarterback
Speaker 1: that really gives you both. Uh with Lamar Jackson having
Speaker 1: having two straight down passing years and Josh Allen doing
Speaker 1: it in consecutive years, I think we can safely say
Speaker 1: that Devin Singletary had the third year breakout, which is
Speaker 1: it's not like it never happens with running backs, but
Speaker 1: usually by two, if you don't have it, you don't
Speaker 1: have it. And Singletary looked good, dominating Zack Moss and
Speaker 1: every other Buffalo runner and eventually just relegating everybody else
Speaker 1: to the bench and just eating up the Lion's share
Speaker 1: of the workload by the end of the season. It
Speaker 1: almost took half a season before they turned him into
Speaker 1: a bell cow. But once they even Matt Barrita was
Speaker 1: getting some significant run in the mid towards the middle
Speaker 1: of the season. But yeah, the Singletary went off and
Speaker 1: going into the playoffs he was great. So and I'll
Speaker 1: touch on that out. He scored two times in the
Speaker 1: first fourteen weeks Stephen Singletary did. Then he scored had
Speaker 1: a feeling nine times in Buffalo's final six games, nine
Speaker 1: times in six games. He will be a prime do
Speaker 1: the opposite target Devin Singletary will be in next year's draft.
Speaker 1: I doubt he even had nine touchdowns in his career
Speaker 1: prior to it. Definitely did not know he did it
Speaker 1: in the final six games, including the playoffs. Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 1: I felt like, get down here for Diggs. He had
Speaker 1: twenty fewer catches, three fewer yards, but he set a
Speaker 1: career high in touchdowns with ten touchdowns. Do you know
Speaker 1: how many games Steffon Diggs had with no touchdowns and
Speaker 1: fewer than fifty receiving yards this year touchdowns? I'll say one,
Speaker 1: zero zero. I mean that's the That's the thing you
Speaker 1: love about Digs is he didn't give you the heartbreaking,
Speaker 1: you know, three point game four point game. You know,
Speaker 1: he always was giving you you know, the fifty yards
Speaker 1: were accompanied by you know, four catches. He was you know,
Speaker 1: his bottom end was the nine point game, not the
Speaker 1: three point game. And he didn't have that handful of
Speaker 1: like two yard two touchdown games that he was having
Speaker 1: in splash games. There was still certainly a possibility for
Speaker 1: more of those there were. Let's stick with the wide receivers.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about Cole Beasley next. Just one
Speaker 1: touchdown all year, failed the top sixty four yards in
Speaker 1: the final twelve games of the year, including the playoffs,
Speaker 1: which was bad for Beasley. Um there's only one year
Speaker 1: left on his deal and he'll likely need to restructure
Speaker 1: his contract to avoid getting cut. And if they cut him,
Speaker 1: they get a cap saving of six million dollars. I
Speaker 1: think he's a cut candidate here, Yeah, I say him.
Speaker 1: Mackenzie sort of usurped him towards the end of the
Speaker 1: year as the top slot receiver, so they certainly have
Speaker 1: an able backup or a fill in for for Beasley
Speaker 1: at a much much cheaper cost. Emmanuel Sanders was just
Speaker 1: a spot fantasy starter at best, and he's a free agent.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be gone. But let's get to the guy
Speaker 1: who's gonna benefit from Sanders leaving, Beasley potentially leaving, and
Speaker 1: that's Gabriel Davis. Yeah, almost invisible in the first half
Speaker 1: of the season. And I mean invisible. I'm talking one catch,
Speaker 1: zero catch to catch, one catch, zero catch kind of numbers.
Speaker 1: Then in probably Gabriel Davis averaging sixty six yards in
Speaker 1: a full touchdown per game in the ten games, the
Speaker 1: final ten games of the season, including the playoffs. Now,
Speaker 1: it's a little bit skewed by his monster four touchdown
Speaker 1: game against the Chiefs, but was still even with even
Speaker 1: taking that out, he was still averaging over half a
Speaker 1: touchdown per game. Yeah, that's what people remember most or last,
Speaker 1: is that touchdowns. And that's spilled over into the early
Speaker 1: Best Ball drafting season. People are pretty pretty high on
Speaker 1: game Davis, and for a good reason. But give me
Speaker 1: a rough round where he's going right now? Uh, six
Speaker 1: seven ish. You know he's in that top four definitely
Speaker 1: inside top thirty wide receiver range. Uh for a lot
Speaker 1: of people that now there is some concern. You know,
Speaker 1: they've been courting Christian Kirk in Buffalo. I believe he
Speaker 1: can't court anybody yet it's you know, well, no, well
Speaker 1: it's it's it's tampering. Basically, Josh Allen's been hanging out
Speaker 1: with him. I think that they even went on vacation
Speaker 1: with their spouses and un Sam stop that they brought
Speaker 1: Sam Donald along for some reason. I saw the picture.
Speaker 1: He must be carrying the luggage. I don't know, but uh,
Speaker 1: but yeah, if they don't bring in a Christian Kirker
Speaker 1: draft one of the bigger name wide receivers, all systems
Speaker 1: go gave Davis, Um, Sanders and b easily leave behind
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred snaps and two hundred targets. Who that makes
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis a sexy What round pick? What? Do you
Speaker 1: have a sense of what round he's going? He's only
Speaker 1: like six seven and I said I had mid round
Speaker 1: in my notes. Yeah, mid round. But he'll be a
Speaker 1: sexy pick and some people I wouldn't be surprised to
Speaker 1: see his value get driven up, as if Beasley and
Speaker 1: Sanders end up leaving the team. If he skirts the
Speaker 1: free agency in the draft from many other big names
Speaker 1: coming into wide receiver, he should be more in the
Speaker 1: fourth round range. It could. I think it'll it'll bump
Speaker 1: up Dawson Knox turned into an improbable touchdown machine last year.
Speaker 1: After scoring two and three touchdowns in his first two seasons,
Speaker 1: he exploded with nine this year, tied for the NFL
Speaker 1: lead among tight ends, and then by the way, he
Speaker 1: scored two more in the playoffs. He had eleven total touchdowns,
Speaker 1: which is more than anybody despite missing three games. Third
Speaker 1: year breakouts are common in tight ends, is not unheard
Speaker 1: of it all. And then it also Sanders and easily
Speaker 1: leaving would free up some extra extra targets for him,
Speaker 1: and he only had seventy I think it was like
Speaker 1: seventy two seventy three targets last year for Dawson Knox.
Speaker 1: That number, could you know that number could vault up
Speaker 1: into the eighties or nineties and you could see even
Speaker 1: more upside, maybe not with touchdowns, but especially more in yards.
Speaker 1: He certainly was still touchdown dependent, but you could depend
Speaker 1: on him getting a touchdown in most games. So as
Speaker 1: long as you're scoring touchdowns when touchdown dependent, yes, nothing
Speaker 1: wrong with that. Let's go over to Miami. Mike McDaniel
Speaker 1: takes over as your new head coach. This is a rebuilt,
Speaker 1: rebuilt coaching staff. Almost entirely supposed offensive mastermind Mike McDaniels. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll find out how much you learn from from Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanahan and Darryl Bevel takes over as the passing game coordinator.
Speaker 1: Now to Tungo, Viola looks to my eyes through two
Speaker 1: seasons to be an average NFL quarterback. Last year, he
Speaker 1: his average game was two hundred twenty yards and one
Speaker 1: point three touchdowns per game. That's it. And I recall
Speaker 1: him not coming through in some like juicy prime matchups,
Speaker 1: big disappointment to A does not run and with the
Speaker 1: hip injury out in college, I guess that was you know,
Speaker 1: that was more of an expectation, So there wasn't necessarily
Speaker 1: people thought he would be a bunch of a runner. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, if there was a pathway for Miami to
Speaker 1: upgrade from tah at the quarterback position, there'd be more
Speaker 1: talk about to uh, you know, them maybe already turning
Speaker 1: the page on to A. But there really isn't an
Speaker 1: obvious pathway for them to get anything better than to uh. No,
Speaker 1: it sounds like the Watson stuff is dead. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that's all dead, And like I don't know Russell
Speaker 1: Will's going to get traded at the Dolphins. That wouldn't
Speaker 1: hurt either team really, but you never know. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: never know, but they're probably going to They're probably not.
Speaker 1: So the upside here, I think for Tuah, and the
Speaker 1: reason to think things maybe get get better for Tuah
Speaker 1: is Jalen Waddle, who turned in a terrific rookie season
Speaker 1: and could be even better. So let's talk Waddle a
Speaker 1: little bit more here. From Week six forward he topped
Speaker 1: forty eight yards in every game but two. He scored
Speaker 1: five times. And this is the biggest thing about Waddle.
Speaker 1: He turned into a massive target hog for TUA. He
Speaker 1: pushed Davantae Parker into the back seat and became the
Speaker 1: go to guys I mentioned he averaged ten targets per
Speaker 1: game after Week six, targets per game. Drafting now he's
Speaker 1: getting a lot of love. He's some I've seen him
Speaker 1: go over. He's kind of the tail ended round two,
Speaker 1: but some people are opting to go over Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 1: or DK Metcalf with the presumably safer j Waddle with
Speaker 1: with the ceiling well almost as high as Metcalf, those
Speaker 1: guys have to share looks, right, Ceedee Lamb has to
Speaker 1: share with Cooper unless he gets traded. You know, maybe
Speaker 1: they resigned Gallup, but I don't think so. Et Cedric Wilson,
Speaker 1: you know, and DK Metcalf has to share with Lockett,
Speaker 1: but not Jalen Waddle and especially with DeVante Parker because
Speaker 1: he could be caught or restructured after back to back
Speaker 1: middling seasons. He's only had really the one good year
Speaker 1: that was his money year, by the way, and he
Speaker 1: was injured for half of last year. He only caught
Speaker 1: two touchdowns all season. Parker never topped eighty five yards
Speaker 1: all season. If he sticks with Miami and he stays
Speaker 1: healthy and Mike McDaniel is a good head coach, a
Speaker 1: better head coach for an offense and to it gets
Speaker 1: a little bit better, then Parker could be kind of
Speaker 1: a steel if you think he could bounce back to
Speaker 1: where he was three years ago. But we've now seen
Speaker 1: him for five seasons. He's had one good year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can't draft him uh as a starter or presumed starter.
Speaker 1: You're just hoping he returns to for him and stays there.
Speaker 1: But like you said, you cannot stay healthy for the
Speaker 1: last few years. Will Fuller will be a free agent
Speaker 1: after catching four passes on his ten and a half
Speaker 1: million dollar contract, yet absolute disaster. How is that a
Speaker 1: bad signing? Oh man? All right, So let's go to
Speaker 1: the tight end position. Mike asiki uh after he was
Speaker 1: a frustrating season. He finished tight end twelve, which doesn't
Speaker 1: sound that bad thirty two teams. If you've got a
Speaker 1: tight end twelve, that's great, But he just had two
Speaker 1: touchdowns and from week eight forward, Gasecki averaged three and
Speaker 1: a half catches thirty five yards and did not score.
Speaker 1: And more frustrating because he really plays wide receiver, which
Speaker 1: is nice from a fantasy fantasy perspective because he's tight
Speaker 1: end eligible, but he's not like Kyle Pitts. He's a
Speaker 1: very average wide receiver. So and also throws dynasty nugget
Speaker 1: out there quick. There are talks on his next contract negotiations.
Speaker 1: They are gonna push for, you know, the wide receiver
Speaker 1: eligibility in the real world. So because they want they
Speaker 1: want the money at wide receiver. You're sitting on gasick
Speaker 1: at tight end and you might be a good time
Speaker 1: to move him because if he goes to wide receiver,
Speaker 1: he's value just you know, sinks incredibly. You touched on this.
Speaker 1: Gasecki note that he's headed to free agency, and you know,
Speaker 1: we don't know where he's gonna land yet, but if
Speaker 1: you're Mike McDaniel, you know you could probably convince him
Speaker 1: he could be the next George Kittle. And in a
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel offense, well, they say that McDaniel likes his
Speaker 1: tight ends to block, and that's why we get so
Speaker 1: aggravated at times, is all we would do. We see
Speaker 1: George Kittle blocking, uh, because he doesn't fit that. He
Speaker 1: does not. He probably has one foot out the door.
Speaker 1: We'll see, all right, Let's hit on Miami's backfield. Duke Johnson,
Speaker 1: Miles Gaskin, Philip Lindsay Salvon. They're drafting somebody they have to.
Speaker 1: I think so too. I think this is a rebuild.
Speaker 1: In fairness. Duke Johnson, he took over the job in
Speaker 1: week fifteen and he shined. You average four and a
Speaker 1: half yards per carry, which wasn't bad, and he posted
Speaker 1: the only two yard rushing games of the entire season
Speaker 1: for Miami. We're both Duke Johnson games, but to me
Speaker 1: my eyes, they all look like replacement level guys, and
Speaker 1: I think Miami should just overhaul the position. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: it's a place where, like Breece Hall Isaiah Spiller, I
Speaker 1: don't want to get too much into the rookies, will
Speaker 1: do that at some point, but it's a place where
Speaker 1: a rookie can walk in and take that starting job
Speaker 1: a great one, a great We we'll get into the
Speaker 1: rookies in UH, in the month of March more UH
Speaker 1: and into April, well, especially April is heading into the draft.
Speaker 1: We'll be talking a lot of rookies when we come back.
Speaker 1: We'll go through New England and the Jets. The things
Speaker 1: we learned, the key takeaways from this season, what made
Speaker 1: us smarter at the end of the season than we
Speaker 1: were at the beginning. Stay tuned. Fantasy Football Weekly, Welcome
Speaker 1: back Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul charchy In, Brian Johnson, Guillotine
Speaker 1: leagues dot Com. Some fun stuff coming to Guillotine Leagues
Speaker 1: next year. Can't say one. Maybe something maybe something maybe
Speaker 1: maybe Yeah, look at the rule. Yeah, we'll see. Let's
Speaker 1: go over to New England. We're recapping the key takeaway
Speaker 1: from last season. Every meaningful player through the a f
Speaker 1: C East. This particular episode of Fantasy Football Weekly in
Speaker 1: New England, I want to start with the running games.
Speaker 1: So running gave us the best part of the New
Speaker 1: England offense by a mile, and also the most frustrating
Speaker 1: every year. But yeah, it was most if you could,
Speaker 1: you know, over the over Belichick's rain, if all you
Speaker 1: did was just blindly start like the best running back
Speaker 1: from the Patriots, you'd probably be more often than not,
Speaker 1: you'd probably be okay. But this has been it's been
Speaker 1: really really tough to peg and going into any game
Speaker 1: like what the trend is, who might be valuable who hasn't?
Speaker 1: This year was a little bit more readable than most
Speaker 1: I thought. So let's talk about Harris for a minute.
Speaker 1: Despite being in a frequent workload time share with Romandi Stevenson,
Speaker 1: Harris finished second in rushing touchdowns with fifteen. Wow, as
Speaker 1: predicted by somebody in the preseason who put Harris specifically
Speaker 1: on fifteen touchdowns, I did. We had we had to
Speaker 1: New York for the review on that, but I'll take
Speaker 1: your word for it. Oh yeah, he spread those fifteen
Speaker 1: and I love this park. He spread those fifteen touchdowns
Speaker 1: across eleven games. That's what you really want. And he
Speaker 1: was fourth in carries inside the five yard line. He
Speaker 1: had sixteen carries inside the five yard line, and he
Speaker 1: converted over fifty of his carries into touchdowns, which is
Speaker 1: where we want to be. That suggests to me there's
Speaker 1: no reason for Bill Belichick to stop giving Damien Harris
Speaker 1: the ball at the stripe. He missed a few games too,
Speaker 1: if I recall he did, and we're gonna that brings
Speaker 1: us to Romandre Stevenson. Even with Harris soaking up those
Speaker 1: sixteen carries from inside the five yard line, Stevenson got
Speaker 1: six carries, and impressively, he scored on four of them.
Speaker 1: All four touchdowns that Stevenson scored from inside the five.
Speaker 1: We're games in which Damien Harris was missing. Very interesting,
Speaker 1: very interesting. Both he Harris and Stevenson average four point
Speaker 1: six yards per carry, and they both look like above
Speaker 1: average running back talents and below average receiving running backs.
Speaker 1: Um stevenson workload was just too low to start him
Speaker 1: on a regular basis when in the games that Harris played,
Speaker 1: Stevenson was seven, eight, nine touches and that's just you
Speaker 1: just can't you just can't cobble together and not getting
Speaker 1: those goal line looks. He wasn't giving you the touchdowns
Speaker 1: in those games. Either this is a situation where unless
Speaker 1: it's best ball, that's different, but does for standard leagues
Speaker 1: drafted in August, you know, things sort of stay the same.
Speaker 1: You really gotta pick which one you're going with because
Speaker 1: they're pretty close in a DP S. I mean, Harris
Speaker 1: is going four around, you know, weight round, light, third round,
Speaker 1: fourth round, and then Stevenson's kind of in the late six, seventh,
Speaker 1: eighth round. You really don't want to sink that much
Speaker 1: equity into one backfield. It's not like it's a clear
Speaker 1: it's not like a McCaffrey Cuba Hubbard situation or anything
Speaker 1: like that, but you're clearly team Harris. Obviously. I like
Speaker 1: that both great. I love Stevenson. I love Stevenson, but
Speaker 1: just the reality of their usage UH tilts towards Harris
Speaker 1: pretty heavily, and because they were so good at what
Speaker 1: they were trying to do. I think it stays with Harris. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I remember his draft profile last year. Stevenson,
Speaker 1: who went to Oklahoma. I believe just basically his season
Speaker 1: was marred by injury, and he would have been around
Speaker 1: one running back. He had that kind of talents and
Speaker 1: the UH potential in college and he didn't. He didn't
Speaker 1: get to live up to because of injury, but stayed
Speaker 1: healthy last year or so, I did stay healthy, which
Speaker 1: is you can only get better. It looks like it's
Speaker 1: kind of the passing game. I thought mac Jones looked
Speaker 1: like a middle to bottom tier fantasy quarterback with a
Speaker 1: very low ceiling and not even a particularly high floor. Um,
Speaker 1: even with all those electric weapons. And I know there's that, right,
Speaker 1: So yeah, to me, it's a slightly more explosive Teddy
Speaker 1: Bridgewater and that's it. He hit three hundred yards just
Speaker 1: two times all year. UM. And by the way, it's
Speaker 1: like three or seven and three or nine. I mean,
Speaker 1: just eat over three hundred yards for mac Jones. Jones
Speaker 1: threw three touchdowns in two games out of seventeen, which
Speaker 1: is not great, but at least he hit three, UM.
Speaker 1: But that's counteracted by ten games. Was zero or one
Speaker 1: touchdown for mac Jones? Didn't he have zero or one
Speaker 1: passing yard in one game? Too? Was something like that, Yes,
Speaker 1: so you don't you don't want to look at per
Speaker 1: per game averages, but for mac Jones because they are snaps.
Speaker 1: By that game, Hunter Henry scored nine times, but when
Speaker 1: he did not score. Hunter Henry stung you with his
Speaker 1: low volume and his meager yardage. And you can't even
Speaker 1: blame Jonny Smith because Smith wasn't even a factor in
Speaker 1: this offense. It was that's just how they used Hunter.
Speaker 1: Henry is basically an end zone target, and for me,
Speaker 1: that makes him just like a bye week fill in
Speaker 1: and somebody where you know, if you're you just hope
Speaker 1: you get that touchdown and can get out with because
Speaker 1: otherwise you're looking at two catches for even more so
Speaker 1: touchdown dependent than the four mentioned Dawson Knox for sure.
Speaker 1: Let's go to New England's receivers Jacobe Myers, Nelson Aguilar,
Speaker 1: Kendrick Born. I'm gonna talk about him all sort of
Speaker 1: in one breath here, Brian. They shared a meager ten
Speaker 1: touchdowns between them, and none of them I thought particularly
Speaker 1: distinguished themselves. Myers had a few more yards, Born had
Speaker 1: a couple more touchdowns than the group, but they were
Speaker 1: just they're almost entirely unstartable in a low volume, blow
Speaker 1: up side passing game. And I the Patriots seemed like
Speaker 1: a team that's gonna draft a bigger name wide receiver
Speaker 1: or bring one in free agency, whether it be an
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson type with Mike Williams something like that maybe,
Speaker 1: But they spent big on Agilar and Born last year,
Speaker 1: which were dumb dumb signing was Yeah, they were both
Speaker 1: baffling to me. Um Myers had a productive stretch of
Speaker 1: games in December, I'll mention that, so he finished the
Speaker 1: season a little hotter than the other guys. But still
Speaker 1: I think on balance, these they all looked like danger
Speaker 1: signs to me. Jones probably gets better next year, but
Speaker 1: I don't know that he gets so much better that
Speaker 1: you have want to any reliance in any of those guys. Myers, Aguilar,
Speaker 1: Born ultimate just situational dart throws. Yeah, he's gonna be
Speaker 1: hovered in around that top twenty range, which means and
Speaker 1: standard No Matt Jones in a standard one quarterback, twelve
Speaker 1: team league. He's a backup at best, but he might
Speaker 1: just be a floating free agent kind of guy throughout
Speaker 1: the season. Let's wrap up with the Jets. How long
Speaker 1: will this take? Not as long as he may not
Speaker 1: be surprised here, but the lead story and if I
Speaker 1: were to, if I'm talking to anybody, especially in Dynasty
Speaker 1: Empire leagues, Zack Wilson got a lot better in the
Speaker 1: second half of the season. You remember he missed a
Speaker 1: bunch of time in the middle of the year with injury.
Speaker 1: The games before that were bad. The games after when
Speaker 1: he came back from injury, he played better. And it
Speaker 1: still was not like he wasn't a fantasy factor in
Speaker 1: most of the games. But if you just watched his play,
Speaker 1: and even the box scores show it to a degree.
Speaker 1: But really, ie test at, Wilson looked a lot better. Um.
Speaker 1: I thought he showed some of the armed talent, especially
Speaker 1: that led him to be the number two pick the
Speaker 1: year before. And he ripped off like a ninety yard
Speaker 1: run in one game. Did He didn't score, unfortunately, but
Speaker 1: still to see a quarterback, I mean he's got wheels
Speaker 1: more than you think it looking more than you would think. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. Let's talk about Elijah More. The rookies season
Speaker 1: ended in Week thirteen with the quad injury, but I
Speaker 1: want to highlight the five weeks leading up to that
Speaker 1: quad injury. He averaged six catches, seventy eight yards and
Speaker 1: a touchdown per game. Six catches, seventy eight yards and
Speaker 1: a touchdown per game. That's Tyreek Hills catches and yardage
Speaker 1: and Cooper cups touchdowns. Yeah he was. He was. The
Speaker 1: numbers speak for itself, I mean for themselves. He was
Speaker 1: a top three wide receiver during that stretch. And that
Speaker 1: was a brutal blow to everyone who had Elijah Moren
Speaker 1: roster when he went down, because he he was just
Speaker 1: getting started. Yeah, flash significant talent. And if you think
Speaker 1: Wilson's going to get better next year, as I do,
Speaker 1: there's no reason to think more doesn't get better with
Speaker 1: him and more consistent with him. And so I think,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe because of the quad injury that ended
Speaker 1: his season after Week thirteen, he might be off people's
Speaker 1: radar draft time next year and in Best Ball now. Um,
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of reason for upside here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. Corey Davis had an injury plague season, um.
Speaker 1: And he only scored in three games all year. In
Speaker 1: his other games in which he did not score, he
Speaker 1: killed you by averaging thirty nine yards in scoreless games.
Speaker 1: And this that's just totally untenable. He's now played for
Speaker 1: five years. Corey Davis had one good season his money
Speaker 1: here twenty. He's not untalented, but he's deeply inconsistent and
Speaker 1: he has missed twelve games in the last two years.
Speaker 1: I don't know, he's nothing more than a like last
Speaker 1: pick of a draft dart throw coming up this year,
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, he's still got he's a good end zone,
Speaker 1: red zone target, but yeah, the injury concerns and when
Speaker 1: he's not scoring, he's, like you said, he's not doing
Speaker 1: a whole lot. So yeah, I'm with you there. Uh,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked if you're probably gonna mention one
Speaker 1: more wide receiver at Braxton Burrios is the next Guyl
Speaker 1: mentioned the team's guy, deep threat guy. But he's headed
Speaker 1: to free agency and so we'll watch and see where
Speaker 1: he lands. I saw him or his agent or somebody
Speaker 1: was saying they expect him to get eight million a
Speaker 1: year from Like really, I don't know. It seems like
Speaker 1: a lot for for the specialty role that he is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my gut tells me he will be back in with
Speaker 1: the Jets um because they are probably one of the
Speaker 1: only teams delmanof much money that couldn't be in the case.
Speaker 1: But what I'm to round this out real quick, I'm
Speaker 1: really curious to see what the Jets do it tight
Speaker 1: end because we we we like Zack Wilson. There's some
Speaker 1: nice pieces. I know, you probably gotta get to the
Speaker 1: running game, but there either unfortunately nothing to talk about
Speaker 1: from a tight end perspective from last year. But there's
Speaker 1: there are a couple of talented rookie tight ends that
Speaker 1: I could see ending up with the Jets, Jalen Wiedermeyer
Speaker 1: being being the top one, or Evan Ingram could stay
Speaker 1: in the same sta him his apartment. I'm certainly just
Speaker 1: I got my on who the Jets are gonna bring
Speaker 1: in a tight end, because that could be a a
Speaker 1: pretty nice landing spot forever. Whoever ends up the Jets.
Speaker 1: They do. Let's go to the running game. Michael Carter
Speaker 1: flash from time to time, but honestly, I thought he
Speaker 1: was going to look better than he did. I mean,
Speaker 1: I I saw the college work and I'm like, oh
Speaker 1: this there could be a little something here. It just
Speaker 1: never seemed to translate down the field. I didn't see
Speaker 1: a lot of flash plays from him, um, and they
Speaker 1: never let him be a workhorse, which I found troubling
Speaker 1: considering who they were deferring carries to. He never topped
Speaker 1: sixteen carries in a game, and Carter average just ten
Speaker 1: per game, ten carries per game. You just can't get
Speaker 1: it done on that. So you think Carter would get
Speaker 1: more usage next season because Tevin Coleman is a free
Speaker 1: agent and who's done nothing deserved to even stay in
Speaker 1: the league, and Ty Johnson's not that good. I want
Speaker 1: to believe that Carter will get more something closer to
Speaker 1: a workhorse level of of carries next year. Yeah, me too.
Speaker 1: He's an the guy you gonna want to see the
Speaker 1: Jets uh skirt drafting a big name running back in
Speaker 1: the draft or bringing in even a guy like a
Speaker 1: Dante Foreman, who's who's a free agent running back. They
Speaker 1: bring in someone like that that spills disaster pretty much
Speaker 1: from Michael Carter from a fantasy perspective, So we got
Speaker 1: I'll keep our eyes on that one. Carter had these
Speaker 1: two weird games in the middle of the season where
Speaker 1: he had an eight catch game for like eighty five
Speaker 1: yards and a nine catch game for like ninety yards,
Speaker 1: and then otherwise did nothing through the air. Nothing. It
Speaker 1: was so weird that they trusted him and game planned
Speaker 1: him to be so successful in those games and then
Speaker 1: never went back to it. Now I would suspect those
Speaker 1: might have been games when Elijah Moore was hurt. Possibly
Speaker 1: maybe well they were, they were These are mid season games.
Speaker 1: I don't have the box score in front of me.
Speaker 1: Moore got hurt at the end of the year, so
Speaker 1: I don't think those overlapped, but there may have been
Speaker 1: other injuries or things out the field that contributed. You
Speaker 1: can say one thing for the Jets offenses, they were
Speaker 1: never like a cohesive unit because of health issues like
Speaker 1: Corey Davis was heard, Zach Wilson's was her, and Elijahmorrow
Speaker 1: got hurt later in the year. Jameson Crowder was he
Speaker 1: missed the beginning of the season that he did, so
Speaker 1: they Yeah, they never had a unit the calgel really,
Speaker 1: so hopefully they do all right next week, Let's talk
Speaker 1: NFC East. Let's teams. Yeah, let's just tear the band
Speaker 1: aid off on that. There's got it. There's some intrigue
Speaker 1: there and there's some you know, there's obviously there's notable
Speaker 1: things to come. I know, I know you've got to.
Speaker 1: I know you feel pretty strongly about Dallas Goddard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there's a another tight end who really hasn't had
Speaker 1: a chance to show what he can do before getting
Speaker 1: hurt and uh Logan Thomas very intrigued by bounce back
Speaker 1: to when he's on the field he does some damage
Speaker 1: he does, it'll be fascinating. We'll so recap the NFC
Speaker 1: East next week. Thank you for listening to Fantasy Football Weekly.
