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. Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly. I
Speaker 1: am Paul Charchy in my co host as usual Brian Johnson. Today, Um,
Speaker 1: springtime in Minnesota. Ain't all that it's time in springtime yet,
Speaker 1: It's it's a good time to be alive. It's free
Speaker 1: agency season at this time. Last week we record on Fridays,
Speaker 1: we were talking about some of the big moves we
Speaker 1: anticipated allmost all the big ease are done. Most of
Speaker 1: the main dust set. That's right, some big Henny Gala days,
Speaker 1: the big maybe the biggest prize of all of all
Speaker 1: of the off season. And he's unsigned. I suspect that
Speaker 1: this means that his representation and Kenny Golladay, I thought
Speaker 1: they were gonna be worth a lot more than what
Speaker 1: they've actually gotten. It offers. Yeah, we we alluded to
Speaker 1: this last week where he he wants the big, big money,
Speaker 1: which he deserves if he has proven to have stayed
Speaker 1: on the field a little longer throughout the duration of
Speaker 1: his career thus far, I would say, but uh, as
Speaker 1: of the time of this taping, it's the Giants and
Speaker 1: the Bengals, But now the Ravens are in the in
Speaker 1: the Knicks for because the Ravens lost out on Juju
Speaker 1: Smith shoes about it a few minutes. So there's so
Speaker 1: many free agent moves, and we like to keep these
Speaker 1: offseason podcasts around a half hour or less. So what
Speaker 1: I want to do, Brian is focusing on quarterbacks and
Speaker 1: wide receivers. This episode will hit running backs, tight ends,
Speaker 1: and then just some other news like offensive lines that
Speaker 1: got better, forty niners, and some other things that you know,
Speaker 1: we want to touch on next week. But for now, quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: wide receivers, I'm just gonna hit you with a bunch
Speaker 1: of guys. Give me, you know, tell me a little
Speaker 1: bit about whether you like the move, you think the
Speaker 1: players more valuable, less valuable, what does that leave behind?
Speaker 1: Stuff like that. Let's start with Ryan Fitzpatrick signing in Washington.
Speaker 1: He gets a one year, ten million dollar deal and
Speaker 1: he is currently the starter over Tyler Heinek. Speaking of
Speaker 1: a guy we want to touch on multiple times, right,
Speaker 1: Ryan fitz Patrick. Yeah, our guys stupid last week he
Speaker 1: was retiring and we were The NFL is a better
Speaker 1: place with Ryan Fitzpatrick in it. I love the landing
Speaker 1: spot for Fitzpatrick for for Washington football team. And we'll
Speaker 1: talk about a newly acquired wide receiver for them shortly.
Speaker 1: But the wide receiver that's been there that everyone knows
Speaker 1: is uh Matt's good buddy Terry McLaren. Uh gotta like
Speaker 1: the prospects for for Terry McLaurin a lot better. I
Speaker 1: gotta pull list that from my boy ian heart tits
Speaker 1: from uh ff. Here's the number one wide receiver target
Speaker 1: totals for Ryan Fitzpatrick in the eight years he played target.
Speaker 1: These are again target targets, Okay, for the number one
Speaker 1: receiver for Ryan Fitzpatrick when he had ten plus starts
Speaker 1: and we're assuming Fitzpatrick is gonna start at least ten
Speaker 1: games for Washington. And again, Taylor Heineke, he looked, he
Speaker 1: looked kind of fun towards the end of last year.
Speaker 1: It's not there. Get the football team almost beat the
Speaker 1: Bucks in the playoffs behind Taylor Honekey. But back to
Speaker 1: the number one wide receivers for Fitzpatrick, when Fitzpatricks has
Speaker 1: had ten plus starts starting with t J. Houshman Zada
Speaker 1: that was not Fitzpatrick's first team, but his first like
Speaker 1: true number one wide receiver, but a hundred thirty seven
Speaker 1: targets for him. Then Stevie Johnson three years in Buffalo
Speaker 1: a hundred forty hundred forty one hundred thirty four targets,
Speaker 1: And these are massive amounts. Those are solid numbers. Andre
Speaker 1: Johnson for a year in Houston, a hundred and forty
Speaker 1: six targets. Then Brandon marsh had a hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: three targets, a hundred and twenty eight with Fitzpatrick's starting
Speaker 1: ten plus games, and DeVante Parker drew eight targets essentially
Speaker 1: with Fitzpatrick. So you get Terry McClure and a hundred
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred thirty five hundred forty five targets. That
Speaker 1: stock is rising time, and and you get Fitzpatrick's willingness
Speaker 1: to drive the ball downfield, something McLaren's never had. So
Speaker 1: uh for the whole offense, but really, well I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know about the whole offense. Somewhere Logan Thomas
Speaker 1: who we were pimping a few weeks ago. If it's
Speaker 1: Patrick Real hasn't supported a tight end as much as
Speaker 1: we would have liked. He seems a little more wide
Speaker 1: receiver friendly. So I might ding a Logan Logan Thomas
Speaker 1: a little bit here, but overall an exciting move. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one way or another, it looks like Tyrod Taylor maybe
Speaker 1: your opening day starter for Houston, no matter if Deshaun
Speaker 1: Watson's traded or not. As we are, and you have
Speaker 1: to do this up to the minute as we're recording.
Speaker 1: The official number of allegations of sexual assault against Deshaun
Speaker 1: Watson I believe is at seven right now. It's rumored
Speaker 1: to go to nine before long. And even if he
Speaker 1: stays in Houston, there may be a real chance that
Speaker 1: he's not allowed to play for some or all of
Speaker 1: this next season, and not that he doesn't really want
Speaker 1: to play for Houston either, allegations aside. So yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1: Rod Taylor is now draftable if you're doing Best Ball
Speaker 1: drafts right now or even any kind of is he
Speaker 1: is he as a last pick? I mean, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna get a starting I mean, am I streaming in
Speaker 1: Week one already? Brian. I think we are. We are
Speaker 1: at least when it comes to the Texans. But there
Speaker 1: we're not going to talk about the quote unquote weapons
Speaker 1: they've been adding with the Dante Moncreef's in the Yeah
Speaker 1: to Rod Taylor going away. Andy Dalton signs for ten
Speaker 1: million dollars one year deal for the Bears. Bears fans
Speaker 1: are apoplectic at this point, and rightfully so. It's such
Speaker 1: a dumb move. They already have Andy Dalton on roster
Speaker 1: in Nick Foles. And I'm not just saying that because
Speaker 1: it's moderately talented white quarterback. It's just, you know, you've
Speaker 1: got a middling, you know, slightly above or slightly below
Speaker 1: average quarterback already there, So why are you taking ten
Speaker 1: million dollars out of your coffers for another guy other
Speaker 1: than I just you know, I feel for your Bears.
Speaker 1: If I'm looking for a silver lining here, it is
Speaker 1: really for Alan Robinson, the best quarterback he's ever played
Speaker 1: coming into town. So that's what we got going for us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Bears fans, you're you're likely tanking this year, so we're
Speaker 1: talking reality football. Yeah, you know, for the Bear for
Speaker 1: the Bears and Alan Robins who is probably the only
Speaker 1: receiver we care about for the Bears at this point.
Speaker 1: I think it's a slight step up from what he
Speaker 1: had last year, but really, Mitch Drabinski was it was
Speaker 1: probably a better fantasy producer at least than either Dalton
Speaker 1: or Um than Nick Foles. So it's I want to
Speaker 1: get behind. I want to see I want to see
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson in a great offense and just see see
Speaker 1: what happens. But it's not. It's not gonna happen at
Speaker 1: this point. Let's go over to Jamis Winston, who resigns
Speaker 1: with the Saints one year, up to twelve million dollars
Speaker 1: depending on how much he plays. John Payton says it'll
Speaker 1: be a competition to start the season. They're paying both
Speaker 1: now at least this year, Winston and Taysom Hill, not
Speaker 1: necessarily starter money or backup money. They don't even know
Speaker 1: what they're doing. So yeah, it's surely a competition going
Speaker 1: into training camp. But for fantasy purposes, we want to
Speaker 1: see Winston win this job. Taysom Hill was like the
Speaker 1: most selfish fantasy player in the history of fantasy football,
Speaker 1: almost you know, he like he benefits no one but himself.
Speaker 1: He detracts from all his other teammates value. So we're
Speaker 1: all pulling for Winston. That's all I have to say.
Speaker 1: The worry is they're gonna platoon them all year, right right,
Speaker 1: So it'll be Winston until you get down inside the ten,
Speaker 1: and then they are frequently flipping Taysom Hill in. Who
Speaker 1: might run it in? He maybe you'll pass it, maybe
Speaker 1: hands off, and Winston is just gonna get daggered on
Speaker 1: fantasy value if the stuff up close especially is going
Speaker 1: to be Taysom Hills. Yeah, that's ah. The red flags
Speaker 1: are out there. We know that Tayson Hill is gonna
Speaker 1: muck up the water as no matter who the starting quarterback.
Speaker 1: But I would like to think that Winston can at
Speaker 1: least be the between the twenties guy. But ugly situations.
Speaker 1: It is ugly now for Michael Thomas in particular. I
Speaker 1: I you know, obviously it's a step down from Drew Brees.
Speaker 1: But Winston will press the field, will press down field more.
Speaker 1: Now that's not Michael tom Mrs sweet spot. You know Thomas,
Speaker 1: You know we always think of her. I do. I
Speaker 1: always think of was catching the ball eight ten, twelve
Speaker 1: yards down field and moving chains and stuff. But I
Speaker 1: like the notion that Winston's yolo downs field passing could
Speaker 1: create some bigger plays for Michael Thomas. Then Drew brees
Speaker 1: Is flagging arm had been able to do over the
Speaker 1: past couple of years. Yeah, and we touched on that
Speaker 1: that Thomas was undervalued going into diynasty and redraft formats
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago because he put up numbers
Speaker 1: with Taysom Hill. He was like the one guy that
Speaker 1: actually put up numbers when he came back when he
Speaker 1: was somewhat healthy enough to play late in the season
Speaker 1: last year. So, yeah, Thomas remains undervalued regardless of Winston
Speaker 1: or Hill. I think it's kind of a it would
Speaker 1: be a lateral move if their subbing those guys as
Speaker 1: a lateral moment. Still an ugly scenario. Maybe the best
Speaker 1: signing in the last quarterback I want to touch on
Speaker 1: the best I think most sensible signing was Mitch Robisky
Speaker 1: to the Bills. You know his mobile, he makes him
Speaker 1: a perfect fit behind Josh Allen. You can still you
Speaker 1: can still run that same offense. You don't have to
Speaker 1: change the offense because of the quarterback you've got. You've
Speaker 1: got designed rollouts which can do all that, even designed runs,
Speaker 1: he can do that. I I thought this was a
Speaker 1: really good fit. And you look at how well they
Speaker 1: got Josh Allen the year over your progression from Josh
Speaker 1: Allen staggering maybe the best ever last year any quarterback
Speaker 1: anytime history of the game. Considering where he was at
Speaker 1: the end of last year to where he got through
Speaker 1: this year, he's second and m v P voting. I
Speaker 1: love Mitch Drobiski getting better and smarter on the bench
Speaker 1: and feel if they need him to fill in that
Speaker 1: offense doesn't necessarily take a big step back. No, and
Speaker 1: if True Whisky has to come and then hopefully our
Speaker 1: boys Zack Moss will just get a few more carries
Speaker 1: to take that. There's no better like Warrio to Mario
Speaker 1: comparison than Trubisky to Josh Allen. He is like the
Speaker 1: hitting me of like the white version of your starting
Speaker 1: quarterback coming in but you don't know because you're not
Speaker 1: a big enough video game nerdis Warrios evil. He's the bat,
Speaker 1: He's the bad Mario. But True Whisky is evil too.
Speaker 1: At the very end of the day, there's much of
Speaker 1: his boyish, good looking grin. Yeah does for us he's
Speaker 1: very evil, especially still in Chicago. We couldn't go the
Speaker 1: whole segment without the whole Mitch Trabisky saying discussion without
Speaker 1: a little bit of sad from bon Sky right. Definitely
Speaker 1: not oh, I think not um. When we come back
Speaker 1: the wide receivers, the notable wide receiver signings, most of
Speaker 1: them are locked up. There's are still a couple of
Speaker 1: them out there. We'll talk about whether or not these
Speaker 1: players get better or worse with their with their new spots,
Speaker 1: and what they leave behind. And of these is the
Speaker 1: departing team in a better spot without these guys who
Speaker 1: can benefit all of that stuff coming up for segment
Speaker 1: number two a Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back to Fantasy
Speaker 1: fo aall weekly. Paul Charchi and Brian Johnson with you.
Speaker 1: We just broke down the free agent quarterbacks. I didn't
Speaker 1: bother with Jacobe Burst said, I don't think he counts now,
Speaker 1: even though he might be better than the incumbent in Miami.
Speaker 1: Not always, not always, not I know he's not. I'm
Speaker 1: not god on two as much as most but and
Speaker 1: to uh, and we're gonna talk about the Dolphins in
Speaker 1: a minute here. In fact, let's save it, we'll talk
Speaker 1: about we'll talk about the Dolphins in short order, and
Speaker 1: we'll talk about two and if his value goes up,
Speaker 1: I want to I want to start with Juju Smith
Speaker 1: Schuster and probably resigning with the Steelers. It looked like
Speaker 1: that was completely done. And if you believe the media reports,
Speaker 1: he chose the Steelers over some other viable options and
Speaker 1: who are offering him more money. So but why, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't if I got a choice between
Speaker 1: going to the Ravens and getting Lamar Jackson's arm going
Speaker 1: versus you know what we saw in Ben Roethlisberger where
Speaker 1: it just he's at the bitter end of his career,
Speaker 1: and I it just you didn't you had the sense
Speaker 1: that these you know, Juju and the Steelers new all
Speaker 1: season that they were gonna end up separated. Yet here
Speaker 1: they are. They didn't. I am a little disappointed because
Speaker 1: I said he was gonna leave in free agency all year.
Speaker 1: You're going back to this time last year, like this
Speaker 1: is gonna be Jujus. It was a foregone conclusion when
Speaker 1: they drafted Chase Claypool, like Juju's gone. And now I
Speaker 1: was wrong, and I hate it when I'm wrong. So
Speaker 1: Juju stays, What do you think this does for Ben Roethlisberger,
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool, you know the rest of the receivers. I mean,
Speaker 1: I was hoping to, you know, frankly, get him out
Speaker 1: so that we could have more looks for the other receivers.
Speaker 1: So I like better. Yeah, we're right back where we
Speaker 1: started essentially, and we we we talked about Juju last week.
Speaker 1: You said, expect him to be a free agent, and
Speaker 1: he did come on strong and in the second half
Speaker 1: of the year, going to the playoffs, he was or
Speaker 1: you'll be the top wide receiver from a fantasy perspective.
Speaker 1: So people were, you know, they were anticipating their their
Speaker 1: stock prices going up on Claypool and Deonte Johnson offseason.
Speaker 1: I did, now, but they're crashing a little bit. Back
Speaker 1: to the support line. Now. It's a one year deal
Speaker 1: for Juju, if I'm correct, and so you know it
Speaker 1: just you may have to wait one more year to
Speaker 1: to get him to clear out of it. He thinks
Speaker 1: that they've got it in place. From a reality perspective,
Speaker 1: one more year of Roethlisberger, he thinks they can win.
Speaker 1: There's we don't want to bashing of the Steelers too much.
Speaker 1: But they still have awful run blocking and they have
Speaker 1: no running backs. But for whatever reason, Juju is back.
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you sold higher high on Deonte Johnson
Speaker 1: and Chase Claypool, good for you, because I think you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to wait another year because Juju is gonna
Speaker 1: at least. Let's talk about the Bills and some comings
Speaker 1: and goings from the Bills. They decide not to bring
Speaker 1: back John Brown and he goes to the Raiders. They
Speaker 1: bring in Emmanuel Sanders to the Bills, and you know,
Speaker 1: for Sanders, he's gonna need to find playing time around
Speaker 1: Diggs and Beasley and Gabriel Davis, and that's a crowded group.
Speaker 1: I think he'll he'll be on the field enough that
Speaker 1: he may just sort of subtract from those guys, But
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be on the field and
Speaker 1: enough so that you're ever gonna feel comfortable starting Emmanuel Sanders. Now,
Speaker 1: he's a rare kind of best ball wide receiver handcuff
Speaker 1: where if you invest in Diggs in the wait first,
Speaker 1: early second, I mean Diggs is automatically going to take
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty two hundred targets out of that offense. Beasley,
Speaker 1: he got hurt towards the end of the year, but
Speaker 1: when he's healthy, he was shocking league. Yeah, he's a
Speaker 1: lock for ten twelve dollars a game. Gabriel Davis was
Speaker 1: a rookie last year, got better every week it see him.
Speaker 1: So Sanders has to be fourth in the pecking order
Speaker 1: right now. So but yeah, he's just a deep league flyer,
Speaker 1: late round flyer. And that's from a fantasy perspective. You know,
Speaker 1: he will bring some veteran in a leadership to the group.
Speaker 1: But honestly, they got Diggs already for some of that.
Speaker 1: And yeah, they're just gonna run the ball even lists Buffalo.
Speaker 1: So now the Raiders take John Brown. Dude, it's a
Speaker 1: starter right now. I mean the the rate it's you know,
Speaker 1: as they do the massive makeover of that offense, including
Speaker 1: four new offensive lineman coming this year. Uh that let
Speaker 1: Nelson Agilar go. Um Williams, he's gone, He's gone. I
Speaker 1: mean John Brown is it? John Brown is a starting
Speaker 1: receiver on this in the NFL now, and you know
Speaker 1: he does have really good speed. Um, Derek Carr is
Speaker 1: way better. I think that most people realize John Brown
Speaker 1: to me, is a sneaky sleeper, like right now, like
Speaker 1: he's a last pick of the draft kind of guy.
Speaker 1: I think, I think he's gonna be a sneaky sleeper.
Speaker 1: I'm with you. He's he's immediately starting on the outside
Speaker 1: for the Raiders all right now, and he got off
Speaker 1: to a great start last year. He's just always been
Speaker 1: bothered by injury, and it used to be like his
Speaker 1: his head more so than not. It wasn't, thankfully that
Speaker 1: was in the case last year where's getting knocked out
Speaker 1: with concussions. But I remember his times with the Arizona
Speaker 1: that was one of the main reasons he missed so
Speaker 1: much time. But yeah, his injury gave paved the way
Speaker 1: for Gabriel Davis ascend in Baltimore last year or so.
Speaker 1: But yeah, uh, Brown stays healthy, he's a viable wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Three In most weeks, I would say Marvin Jones signs
Speaker 1: a two year deal with the Jaguars, He's gonna catch passes,
Speaker 1: presumably from Trevor Lawrence. I um, you know, Lawrence looks
Speaker 1: like you know, he is a very promising NFL prospect,
Speaker 1: but most rookies take a while to acclimate. Joe Burrow didn't,
Speaker 1: but most do. And if you know, I gotta believe
Speaker 1: this puts Marvin Jones to me down into like wide
Speaker 1: receiver five territory, wide receiver four territory. He's right in
Speaker 1: that territory where he's gonna have a hundred yards two
Speaker 1: touchdowns once every five games. It seems like Djhark of course,
Speaker 1: still in Jacksonville. Lavish lt Clan Cole is gone, he's
Speaker 1: in uh with the Jets, and D D. Westbrook out
Speaker 1: on the he's a free agent now. He's not coming
Speaker 1: back to Jacksonville. Anytime Jones will start, he will start,
Speaker 1: and uh, but he's gonna be a tough guy to
Speaker 1: pay his weekly production. He's gonna be a frustrate, as
Speaker 1: he pretty much always has been the duration of his career.
Speaker 1: But yeah, a guy in best ball, though, who who
Speaker 1: has gone and will continue to go under valued. One
Speaker 1: would think the Jaguars are still going to be chasing
Speaker 1: points mercilessly correct, Sorry, we'll be that way. John Ross
Speaker 1: goes to the Giants for one year. He'll had some
Speaker 1: speed to that group, but really looked, really looked lost
Speaker 1: for most of his time in Cincinnati. And I don't
Speaker 1: know that he's much of an impact player here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: did the Giants need more speed? I mean, Daniel Jones
Speaker 1: ran so fast last year over his own feet on
Speaker 1: which would have been a nine of your touch. But yeah,
Speaker 1: not not the wide receiver news they're they're looking for
Speaker 1: in the East Rock. But yeah, John Ross, even in
Speaker 1: in best ball, this moves the needle. Not for me
Speaker 1: in terms of John Ross's fantasy either. Corey Davis goes
Speaker 1: to the Jets. He got a big pay to I
Speaker 1: think that Jets made a mistake here. He he gets
Speaker 1: three years, thirty seven million dollars for Corey Davis. He
Speaker 1: had the one nice season last year, and even then
Speaker 1: it wasn't like awesome season. Off the top of my head,
Speaker 1: I think it was in the neighborhood of a thousand
Speaker 1: yards season. Um, he'll start with Mims and Crowder. Crowder
Speaker 1: on the slot, Mims on the outside, Corey Davis on
Speaker 1: the outside. You know, I don't who his quarterback is
Speaker 1: is yet to be determined. Head scratching money that they
Speaker 1: offered Davis considering will Fuller, even though it was one
Speaker 1: year he signed for ten point six million dollars. I'd
Speaker 1: rather have will Fuller starting on the outside for a year,
Speaker 1: if from rather than Corey Hips, They're not that neediate
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Denzel Mims is one of the most intriguing
Speaker 1: up and coming wide receiver prospects in the league right now.
Speaker 1: And they still got Jameson Crowder in the slides. So
Speaker 1: I know Davis will play on the outside, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know he's that was exciting as Brashad Perriman
Speaker 1: was last year, right, just a little young group, so yeah,
Speaker 1: not I think his fantasy value takes a ding from
Speaker 1: where it was in Tennessee. So the type the Titans
Speaker 1: lose in this off season, Corey Davis, Adam Humphries, John U, Johno,
Speaker 1: A J. Brown could be looking at like a hundred
Speaker 1: eighty targets. I mean A J. Brown. I'm serious. I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be my wide receiver one in my rankings.
Speaker 1: I just he's sitting on potentially and insane season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago we I extrapolated his production.
Speaker 1: Essentially he was. He was heavily under targeted last year
Speaker 1: and throughout his career. But yeah, if he gets that
Speaker 1: kind of volume, he is easily in the wide receiver
Speaker 1: one conversation. Yes, that's the overall wide receiver on of
Speaker 1: course receptions. I mean, he's a wide receiver one top
Speaker 1: twelve right now. But yeah, I'm with you. Patriots made
Speaker 1: too bad they made. Patriots made three bad moves, at
Speaker 1: least three this off this offseason signing John U. Johnu
Speaker 1: was brilliant and that would have paid off enormously for fantasy.
Speaker 1: And that was following the Can resigning that we're very
Speaker 1: h like the Can resigning at all, were like, okay,
Speaker 1: now we're going somewhere. But then Henry and we'll talk.
Speaker 1: We'll break down that tight end situation next week. But
Speaker 1: they then they made two bad financial moves. Kendrick Boorne
Speaker 1: with's a shocking three year, twenty two million dollar deal
Speaker 1: and Nelson Aglar granted coming off a far better season
Speaker 1: than most of us expected, but given just who he
Speaker 1: is and what we what we've seen for its full career,
Speaker 1: couple two years and sixteen million dollars for him, well,
Speaker 1: you know, they tied up the thirty eight million dollars
Speaker 1: between Kendrick Born and Nelson angel. I know it's not
Speaker 1: essentially apples to apples, but the one year on a
Speaker 1: r eighteen million. You could have had Will Fuller and
Speaker 1: Juju and then he got to like you said, Kendrick Bourne,
Speaker 1: And who's getting paid more than John Brown? Right? Born
Speaker 1: had some flashes with right but they could have a
Speaker 1: great where to put it. They could have had Will
Speaker 1: Fuller and Juju Smith Schuster for less what I just
Speaker 1: I say this all the time and p I get
Speaker 1: nothing but crap on Twitter for this. General manager Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick is constantly undermining head coach Bill Belichick. Just terrible
Speaker 1: personnel decisions, drafting deals. And I know he's one of
Speaker 1: billion super Bowls. It doesn't mean that he's the He
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that that he's doing himself and he favors
Speaker 1: as general manager, he's over his head. It's it's it's
Speaker 1: its own job. Never has a the one wide receiver
Speaker 1: move that went well for the Patriots, and Belichick's whole
Speaker 1: tenure was when they signed that was it. That is it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And I guess historically and now Kendrick Born and Nelson
Speaker 1: Aghilar so in terms of their fantasy value, they're both
Speaker 1: potentially starters. And I think Glars especially going to start here. Um,
Speaker 1: I can't. We don't know who's thronging the ball. But
Speaker 1: if it's Cam Newton coming off a season with eight
Speaker 1: touchdown passes, I can't. I can't like the fantasy value
Speaker 1: for the one of these guys a lot. And like
Speaker 1: you said, we'll talk tight ends more next week with
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry now John new Smith. You just you feel
Speaker 1: like you just need warm bodies on the outside. And
Speaker 1: that's what Agre and Kendrick Born are. But they paid,
Speaker 1: They paid the flaming hot, supermodel bodies. More power to you, Bill,
Speaker 1: so Nelson Aguilar leaves the Raiders. Tyrrell Williams leaves the
Speaker 1: Raiders and he goes to Detroit where he is now
Speaker 1: their number one wide receiver because they don't have anybody else.
Speaker 1: It's a bad it's it's it's ugly in Detroit right now.
Speaker 1: Is they jettison their number one, number two, and number
Speaker 1: three wide receivers? Yeah, Darrell Williams certainly pertinent in the
Speaker 1: fantasy world. You would have to think the Lions, who
Speaker 1: have drafted plenty of receivers in this this millennium, Uh,
Speaker 1: we'll draft one of these almost have to Tyroe Williams
Speaker 1: needs to be back on your radar for sure. I
Speaker 1: just don't know why. You know, what is their situation
Speaker 1: that's so poisoned with Kenny Golladay that and there well
Speaker 1: under the cap that they can't just resigned Kenny Golladay,
Speaker 1: who they took all this time and care to mean.
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay was something of a project receiver. It you know,
Speaker 1: he didn't walk on the field his baby tron. He
Speaker 1: had to earn and you know, gradual steps to get
Speaker 1: up to baby tron level. Now you think you'd want
Speaker 1: to keep him. He's young, he's in entering the prime
Speaker 1: of his career and get the Lions are just letting
Speaker 1: him walk. The same with Marvin Jones that we talked
Speaker 1: about two right, they could have kept him at a
Speaker 1: much cheaper discount, but that's the only thing for a
Speaker 1: rebuilding team. Marvin Jones entering his whatever ninth season, I
Speaker 1: don't know that he would have made as much sense.
Speaker 1: I'm with you there, but I think even the fully
Speaker 1: healthy Goliday is uh, there's too much saving that needs
Speaker 1: to be done in Detroit. There build mode, but no
Speaker 1: doubt it's gonna be a it's gonna be like the
Speaker 1: Major League of training camps. When like to be like
Speaker 1: I don't know half these guys are that are showing
Speaker 1: up Detroit's training camp become August, but Curtis Samuel goes
Speaker 1: to Washington, where he's reunited with Scott Turner and Ron
Speaker 1: Rivera from his days as a Panther. He gets three years,
Speaker 1: thirty five million dollars. You know, he's the ultimate jack
Speaker 1: knife guy. He's um. You know, he's good for one
Speaker 1: or two runs a game. He really I think developed
Speaker 1: it nicely as a receiver. He is a he's just
Speaker 1: he's kind of a special gadget player who isn't such
Speaker 1: a gadget guy that he can't be on the field
Speaker 1: all the time. You know, like Cordell Patterson was kind
Speaker 1: of a gadget guy. You couldn't use him every play.
Speaker 1: You'd have to just like find like a spot every
Speaker 1: third game where you could do something special with him.
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel can do that a lot with um. I
Speaker 1: think he has a chance to have a lot of
Speaker 1: impact on a Washington team that now has competent quarterback. Yeah,
Speaker 1: with Carolina d J. Moore and Robby Anderson, who are
Speaker 1: you know soaking up most of the targets. So Samuel
Speaker 1: had to kind of settle for this gadget role with
Speaker 1: targets mixed in. But now with Washington, he's he's the
Speaker 1: number two. He's the number two. So he still got
Speaker 1: all the gadget stuff in his bag. And what I
Speaker 1: love about him teaming with Terry McLaurin as they both
Speaker 1: went to the Ohio State universe and they used to
Speaker 1: like daydream about playing together and so precious. It's a
Speaker 1: it's a it's a fun offense in Washington again with
Speaker 1: with our boys stop Beard at the Helm. So yeah,
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel a very very sexy name. Right now, his
Speaker 1: his ADP has risen with the signing news, no doubt. Alright,
Speaker 1: two more names left, um one does not matter much
Speaker 1: that J J. Green trying to resurrect his career in
Speaker 1: a one yell, one year deal with the Cardinals. He
Speaker 1: needs to prove that he can still be an effective player.
Speaker 1: And even after you, even if he does prove it
Speaker 1: here at his age, it's going to be hard to
Speaker 1: him to land another big deal after this, but I
Speaker 1: suspect he will. Man, he just sort of lost in
Speaker 1: the shuffle with a lot of good receivers there. I
Speaker 1: just I don't know how much playing time a J.
Speaker 1: Green's can have, and whether or not I trust him
Speaker 1: to have any kind of reliable fantasy value. You're not
Speaker 1: gonna be able to rely on him as a week
Speaker 1: to week starter, but he's draftable in my mind. He's
Speaker 1: He's gonna be like a guy to keep your eye
Speaker 1: on in daily for sure, but just to see. He
Speaker 1: had some good games last year, and of course in
Speaker 1: Arizona he's a good game maybe two sixteen. I don't
Speaker 1: know he'll be rejuvenated leaving since for sure, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not ready. I called him dust. He's
Speaker 1: not fully dust yet, but there's a lot of dust
Speaker 1: storms in Arizona stretching alright. Lastly, Will Fuller, this is
Speaker 1: an exciting move um. By the way, you mentioned, I
Speaker 1: don't think getting A J. Green out of Cincinnati and
Speaker 1: John John Rosses out of Cincinnati as well as you
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier. Yeah, Tyler, boy, I mean the remaining receivers
Speaker 1: I think are all going to get a bit of
Speaker 1: an uptick in in in looks here, boyd Higgins is
Speaker 1: the my my my sleep. As long as UH mentioned,
Speaker 1: Golladay has a chance to sign with Since and then
Speaker 1: they could also draft a wide receiver. But if they
Speaker 1: don't go a big name with but Higgins is the guy.
Speaker 1: Higgins has got upside, He's got everyone's eyes are on Higgins.
Speaker 1: But I audentate though, just keep in my narratar. Will
Speaker 1: Fuller gets a one year deal with the Dolphins. I
Speaker 1: thought he would get a longer deal coming off a
Speaker 1: good season. This PD thing might haunt him a little bit.
Speaker 1: That might have been a contributing factor to him not
Speaker 1: getting as much attention as we thought. He's gonna bring
Speaker 1: downfield speed that Miami is lacking. You know, part of
Speaker 1: what the complaint is with Tah was he just wasn't
Speaker 1: driving the ball down field like Ryan Fitzpatrick was. Maybe
Speaker 1: will Fuller helps unlock some of the downfield passing attempts
Speaker 1: that you could get out of Tah. And we went
Speaker 1: to the turns with Fuller just in the sense that
Speaker 1: he's never really played a full season, and he was
Speaker 1: on his way to playing a full season last year
Speaker 1: and epic full season. But he got pops for the
Speaker 1: P E D s And is that why he was
Speaker 1: playing so well and staying healthy. So I'm kind of
Speaker 1: right where we had he was in like the late
Speaker 1: twenty wide receiver range, which I don't think this move
Speaker 1: it's lateral at best from Houston DeVante Parker, I would
Speaker 1: still view as the alpha wide receiver. Uh, there's a
Speaker 1: big move down, don't you think from being the go
Speaker 1: to receivers Watson led off and it's a big to
Speaker 1: the number two receiver and a tool led off. You're right,
Speaker 1: it's I downplayed a little bit. So I'm pretty much
Speaker 1: off of Goladay even or I'm sorry. I Will Fuller,
Speaker 1: even though I don't think he's a d P, will
Speaker 1: budge a whole lot, but high twenties seems a little
Speaker 1: high for me now that he's I think I think
Speaker 1: it is too at the helm and I'm still not
Speaker 1: convinced he can with stand a full season without some
Speaker 1: e s. Yeah, we'll find out. That's gonna be part
Speaker 1: of the concern, and I think I'm gonna be I'm
Speaker 1: gonna let somebody else relive last year with Will Fuller,
Speaker 1: it probably will not be me. Thank you for listening
