Speaker 1: This is the Fantasy Best Friends Forever here on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network, alongside Frankie Stample. I am Gregg Sauceman, Fregge.
Speaker 1: What's going on in that much Greggy? Good night last night?
Speaker 1: Okay night. But if you sucked? Did you ever have
Speaker 1: the crazy milkshakes that they have there? I know Judy,
Speaker 1: Judy got one. Never had it? Why I split it
Speaker 1: with her? You can't eat the one holding you can't.
Speaker 1: It's like, but you get a silver in your glass.
Speaker 1: The glass it's still in my apartment. It's still in
Speaker 1: my apartment. That was pretty much the highlight in my net. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was Ter's real good though, he said, right, they're
Speaker 1: pretty good. I was in two thirty one, so I
Speaker 1: was closed. I was in the middle section, close to
Speaker 1: the left field foul pole. That's cool, pretty close, that's cool. Um,
Speaker 1: which flavor of the milkshake did you get when you went? Oh? Um?
Speaker 1: So I was with our friends and the two girls
Speaker 1: got one. So one of them got the one I
Speaker 1: really liked, which was like all rainbow sprinkles, whatever. Every
Speaker 1: I don't want the marshmallow. Maybe is that what it was? Um?
Speaker 1: And Judy got. I think cookies and cream. One didn't
Speaker 1: have cookies and cream. I drink your milkshake. I drenk
Speaker 1: it up. Uh, this more the one and it was amazing.
Speaker 1: What are the like toasted marshmallows inside of it? Chocolate?
Speaker 1: There was like a candy cover pretzel. That was the
Speaker 1: highlight of my night. Moving on to bigger news, Grey,
Speaker 1: how was your night and how was the kickball playoffs?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you, Frankie. Oh, this was
Speaker 1: I've been on the team for this is three year? Three?
Speaker 1: Is is your three three years? Now? I think it's
Speaker 1: the best we've ever played the bat like. There's no
Speaker 1: runner against us, reached third base and a single runner
Speaker 1: in kickball reach third base against us. Wow. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: won six nothing. Yeah, you have Max shures around the mountain,
Speaker 1: say or something. No, it's the same pictures always. She
Speaker 1: was great. She she did walk somebody, which is frustrating,
Speaker 1: but um, it was, it was, It was great. I
Speaker 1: love the game of a good bond. That made a
Speaker 1: good play on it. Um, they pegged me at it
Speaker 1: first because I was obviously gonna beat the beat the throw,
Speaker 1: so I had pegged out at first is frustrating. You
Speaker 1: don't have enough lateral quickness to dodge the Uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you do know what you want, but I wanted to.
Speaker 1: I thought he was actually gonna run to first base.
Speaker 1: I didn't expect him to peg me. He did it,
Speaker 1: which is fine. Um, and then set my my second
Speaker 1: time up. Um I lived down a gorgeous bund and
Speaker 1: and got there and scored a ground real double A
Speaker 1: couple of days later, won six nothing. Was it was gorgeous.
Speaker 1: We we we woned a half hour. It was amazing.
Speaker 1: The championship game is on Thursday. We are not on
Speaker 1: our home field though, anymore. We're in Central Park rather
Speaker 1: than our home field at Riverside Park, which scares me
Speaker 1: a little bit. Um. But the good news is we're there. Right,
Speaker 1: We're in the championship. We have a shot. We're facing
Speaker 1: a team is undefeated this season. It should be fun.
Speaker 1: Is the team Salmon? Team seven lost an extra inning
Speaker 1: his last Oh my god, one of the crazy dude,
Speaker 1: this is actually incredible. So they start listen, listen on
Speaker 1: this goes. So we watched the end of that game.
Speaker 1: They steam Salmon. Uh survived like a man on third,
Speaker 1: bottom of the last inning, and they survive it. They
Speaker 1: get out of it. Top of the next inning, extra innings. Uh,
Speaker 1: Team Salmon scores a run. Okay, next time up at
Speaker 1: the bottom of the inning, the Blue team they're called
Speaker 1: Uptown Funk. Uh, uptown Funk. They get a runner on
Speaker 1: nice ball in the gap. Now there's like a runner
Speaker 1: on it's first so sorry, long story short, it's a
Speaker 1: man on third, one out right. The guy hits a single,
Speaker 1: two run second, one out, Sorry, we're run second in
Speaker 1: one out. A girl hits a basically a single to left,
Speaker 1: and this dude tries to get the ball back in
Speaker 1: quickly instead of just be like, all right, let me
Speaker 1: get it in. Obviously the runner from second is going
Speaker 1: to score on this. Let me just get it in
Speaker 1: and hold it in the first space and live another day.
Speaker 1: Punch the ball to try to get it in. Quicker
Speaker 1: just takes a kickball to punts. It goes like over
Speaker 1: the fence. The runner now that should be on first
Speaker 1: basis on third with one out and scores on the
Speaker 1: sack Flatto in the game. Wow, And that's how Team
Speaker 1: Samon went down. I don't know your kickball fundamentally, that's
Speaker 1: what it is. It's all about the defense. If you
Speaker 1: just play perfect defense, you don't try to do too much.
Speaker 1: Like if I runner tries to take the extra base
Speaker 1: on you don't get beated into the throw. Just get
Speaker 1: it back to the picture, hold onto it and then
Speaker 1: play your game. That's it. Just play your game, don't
Speaker 1: overthink it, and that's how you win. We're going for
Speaker 1: the title my second three years. On Thursday. Let's go,
Speaker 1: what time is your game Thursday? How long do your
Speaker 1: game's last? Normally not more than an hour? Not more
Speaker 1: than an hour coming? Would you? Would it make you
Speaker 1: too nervous if I showed up? Are you sure about that.
Speaker 1: Of course, I feel like me being there, like your
Speaker 1: bunce might be off a little bit, my buns are
Speaker 1: gonna be the normal is like Judy has been there
Speaker 1: and I've I've succeeded. Yeah, but this is a little
Speaker 1: bit different than Judy. Alright, alright, let's clap it up
Speaker 1: your fiance, but she's not your best friend for yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I think I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: you a a little nervous if I went. It's interesting. So
Speaker 1: on Thursday, we don't have many people. We only have
Speaker 1: ten or eleven. Do you want me to suit up?
Speaker 1: So we we've talked about that if we wanted to
Speaker 1: bring in people, but we didn't feel it was right
Speaker 1: in the championship game to bring players are on the team.
Speaker 1: We don't want to do that. So I'd probably be amazing.
Speaker 1: You think that, But people that think they're gonna be
Speaker 1: amazing usually pop up every time. It's kind of how
Speaker 1: it works. The one kid who actually been last on
Speaker 1: our lineup this this game, um they popped up all
Speaker 1: year is because I'm just gonna bunt And we're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been telling you that for for weeks. Dude, just
Speaker 1: bunt and he lays down this perfect bunt for his
Speaker 1: only I think it's only a bat. I want to
Speaker 1: say it was great. I feel like I'd be able
Speaker 1: to master like the pop right over, like the second baseman.
Speaker 1: But between it's hard, it's hard. I'd be great. I
Speaker 1: might come support you all. Anyone else listening and watching,
Speaker 1: if you want to come support Gregive Thursday night, Central
Speaker 1: Parks definitely either be speaking speaking of support, one of
Speaker 1: our supporters was name draft last night and they thought
Speaker 1: they were drafting with Frankie stanfele uh and they were not.
Speaker 1: They were drafting with Frank Stafell. That was the miscommunication. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were drafting with Frank Stamford senior. So basically, my
Speaker 1: dad's sitting at his computer at home, and if he's
Speaker 1: wearing his Fantasy Football draft jersey, he has the s
Speaker 1: R on the end. Now, other you know one receiver
Speaker 1: who needs fields, the need to have SR on the
Speaker 1: back of the when you when you were a kid,
Speaker 1: f S three works three. Technically, I'm not the second
Speaker 1: because we don't have the same middle name, so I'm
Speaker 1: not that's a real thing. Will mean I'm technical. If
Speaker 1: he's senior, that means you're junior. He got senior in
Speaker 1: the back of the jersey. That means you're junior. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was just mocking the NFL grede. Okay, So my
Speaker 1: dad was in the draft and someone writes in the
Speaker 1: chat and he didn't answer my question, you have son, Frank,
Speaker 1: probably not, I don't know, probably not. Um. Someone just
Speaker 1: texting my dad, Hey, are you Frank from the BFS
Speaker 1: And he texts me right away like, oh, man, I
Speaker 1: was so proud. That's so nice. That probably warm with
Speaker 1: your heart though, didn't it? Yeah, it was cool, But no,
Speaker 1: you were drafting my dad. So we're putting out a
Speaker 1: search out there for the man or woman who was
Speaker 1: drafting with the Don. We called my dad the Don
Speaker 1: Frank Standfell senior. If you were drafting with my dad
Speaker 1: last night, call in and let us know how he did,
Speaker 1: because honestly, he didn't send me his team, and I
Speaker 1: don't know how he did. Speaking of leagues and personally
Speaker 1: and whatnot. I made a trade last night, a trade
Speaker 1: already my lead that hasn't started yet. It's not even
Speaker 1: the fourth week of the preseason, Gregg. You're making trades.
Speaker 1: My league hasn't started yet. Hit me. So remember I
Speaker 1: asked you yesterday. It was on the air, off the air,
Speaker 1: but I asked you, what do you like better Keenan
Speaker 1: Allen and cream Hunt or DeAndre Hopkins Dowmin Cook? And
Speaker 1: you said Gad Hopkins, Domin Cook. I stand by that.
Speaker 1: And I asked my Floria the same question. He said,
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins and Doalmin Cook. I didn't text you this
Speaker 1: and you had the Yankee, and I want to bother you.
Speaker 1: I texted Floria last night, what if I changed it
Speaker 1: to sa Kwon Barkley and Keenan Allen versus Dalvin Cook
Speaker 1: and DeAndre Hopkins? How would that change it? He said,
Speaker 1: I'd rather the Barkley side. Now, what would you say?
Speaker 1: This is half PPR, that's closer. I think I would
Speaker 1: take Barkley as well. So I made a trade to
Speaker 1: go get se Kwon Barkley. I traded. I swapped. I
Speaker 1: should say my first, my second in my eighth round
Speaker 1: picks with seven seven, we guaranteed Sae Kwon Barkley. There no,
Speaker 1: I mean theoretically, asked, just given given them what we
Speaker 1: know about how the draft normally, how it's gonna go, right,
Speaker 1: is there a chance that someone takes a Kwan at
Speaker 1: five and then takes Camara at six and Antonio Round
Speaker 1: is there at seven. Yes, you kick yourself then no,
Speaker 1: I don't because at that point I would take cream Hunt.
Speaker 1: I have a lot of shares Antonio Brown with you.
Speaker 1: It's one of those things where I want to diversify,
Speaker 1: but I have a lot of shares, Anzonia Brown. I
Speaker 1: would take Cremunt there and what are you to do?
Speaker 1: It's close, though, I like. I like that DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook connection a lot. Corey was just coming up
Speaker 1: the stairs and he told me he had the Beat
Speaker 1: Fantasy Executive Draft. I'm sure you'll hear a lot about
Speaker 1: that on the Frenzy and he told me he started
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins Dalvin Cook. I think, because you know people
Speaker 1: are pushing up Christian McCaffrey, Dalvin Cook has fallen down
Speaker 1: a little bit if he'd start your team Hopkins Dalvin Cook.
Speaker 1: I love it, man, I love that start. I think
Speaker 1: it's phenomenal. You know. I I wanted that running back.
Speaker 1: I have no shares of cream Hunt and I love
Speaker 1: cream Hunt, so I really wanted that ideally. And then
Speaker 1: when they also came out like and I we agreed
Speaker 1: on the one to eight swave. I thought it was
Speaker 1: too good to pass up because I do value Barkley
Speaker 1: more than I value DeAndre Hopkins and thinks you're like
Speaker 1: carry a ton of a ton of value? What pick
Speaker 1: did you originally have, Leven Levin? And who were you
Speaker 1: projecting to get there? Did that? DeAndre Hopkins? DeAndre Hopkins? Okay?
Speaker 1: But before that it was you were trying to get
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt right right? So I try and trade with
Speaker 1: a person at eat so does it? Will it annoy
Speaker 1: you at all? If at seven? Um, I wouldn't. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say that, I think so there's a continuencay that
Speaker 1: I agree with my with the like the trade person
Speaker 1: um trade relations side. I agree that if the top
Speaker 1: six aren't as expected, that I'm willing to let him
Speaker 1: out of the deal on draft day, so trade back
Speaker 1: to a weapon, trade back Indian giver. If he has
Speaker 1: the right on that day to be like, I don't
Speaker 1: want it, only if those five guys, all those six
Speaker 1: guys are in the first six whatever order. Obviously I
Speaker 1: gave him that option because like, listen, if he wants
Speaker 1: to do that and I'm out eleven with DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: Dwalent Cook. I'm cool with it, so I gave I
Speaker 1: gave him that option. That was cool though. It was cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So anyway, if you're watching the BFA, you drafted with
Speaker 1: Frank's father let Us non f eight four three six
Speaker 1: eight seven nine eight four or four eight four three
Speaker 1: six sevenine. We're gonna get to you in just a
Speaker 1: few moments. But we start out today with the fact
Speaker 1: and the stat to day. Yeah. So something that we're
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about today is the biggest adp risers
Speaker 1: and followers. And we spoke about Christian McCaffrey a little
Speaker 1: bit yesterday and this isn't my stat of the day.
Speaker 1: I've actually stolen the stat of the day. We're gonna
Speaker 1: give him all the credit that he certainly deserves. It's
Speaker 1: Graham Barfield following on Twitter at Graham Barfield. That's b
Speaker 1: A R F I E. L. D Um. He puts
Speaker 1: out great Fantasy football stats in the preseason throughout the season,
Speaker 1: so shout out to him. It's just a final count
Speaker 1: of Panthers first team RB snaps with Cam Newton. Through
Speaker 1: the first three preseason games, Christian McCaffrey has played fifty
Speaker 1: nine of sixty six of those, that's eight nine, whereas C. J.
Speaker 1: Anderson has played seven of sixty six, just eleven percent.
Speaker 1: McCaffrey played every inside ten red zone snap two. He
Speaker 1: is officially a work Corse interested tweet from cram Marfa,
Speaker 1: why did you invite Graham on the show? I can
Speaker 1: reach out to him. I certainly will. I'll send him
Speaker 1: an email and see if we get him on later
Speaker 1: on the week on the program today? Do you want
Speaker 1: me to comment with that? Uh? No, I mean, look,
Speaker 1: we spoke about who is this year is Todd Gurley
Speaker 1: like a month ago, and you were the first one
Speaker 1: on this Greg really before you even saw anything from
Speaker 1: the preseason. You said, look, Christian McCaffrey is my guy.
Speaker 1: They drafted him super early last year, North Turner coming in.
Speaker 1: I trust that he's gonna be a work course. I
Speaker 1: wasn't buying in as much a month ago, but after
Speaker 1: what you see in the preseason, it's not one of
Speaker 1: these things where you just take it with a grain
Speaker 1: of salt, right. You literally have to take what's happening
Speaker 1: here in the preseason and you have to adjust to it.
Speaker 1: And that's what people are doing pushing Christian McCaffrey into
Speaker 1: that you know that swing pick in the first and
Speaker 1: second round, you know at that eleven twelve turn, Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 1: According NFFC, a DP is consistently going ahead of Cook. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: consistently going ahead. And we've also seen not only is
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey risen obviously a DP riser, but I've seen
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette start rising as well. And four Nette was
Speaker 1: the guy gumming in the draft season when Florida was
Speaker 1: actually still here. I said to Florida, I want to
Speaker 1: wind up with four and everywhere and people on YouTube
Speaker 1: chatter are talking about Lenny right now. Um, I was
Speaker 1: gonna wind up with four net every year everywhere. Excuse
Speaker 1: me because this dude. The offense is built around him,
Speaker 1: and he lost some weight and that's not going to change.
Speaker 1: Their offensive line has gotten better. So I love Leonard
Speaker 1: Fournette this year. And now it seems people are seeing
Speaker 1: what I'm seeing that Leonard four Nette is rising up draftwards.
Speaker 1: He is really passed out and Cook. He has remained
Speaker 1: ahead of Christian McCaffrey and almost almost all leagues. People
Speaker 1: are very solid drafting him in my league hometown, Heller,
Speaker 1: a Jaguars fan, has told everybody, listen to the eighth pick.
Speaker 1: I'm draft Leny Fournette. Like I'd like the trade down,
Speaker 1: but you know what, I'm gonna stay in my spot.
Speaker 1: I want for net. Yeah, especially if you're a Jaguars fan,
Speaker 1: to like, go ahead and get your guy. And it's
Speaker 1: not a bad pick up. That fine either at the
Speaker 1: end of the first round. Look, I think people, again
Speaker 1: similar to CMC, are seeing what's happening here with Leonard
Speaker 1: Fournet in the preseason. I mean back to back games
Speaker 1: with a touchdown here. He ran for five point seven
Speaker 1: yards per carry in Week three, God bless you, Greggy.
Speaker 1: And he has five receptions in the past two games.
Speaker 1: And this is something they've talked about in Jacksonville, is
Speaker 1: the fact that he is going to be a three
Speaker 1: down player and is going to be more involved in
Speaker 1: the passing game. I don't really buy in on, you know,
Speaker 1: t J Yelden stealing much from him. The only way
Speaker 1: that that happens is if Leonard Fournet gets banged up
Speaker 1: at some point, which is certainly a risk. So that's
Speaker 1: why I haven't moved him up. I'm standing pat where
Speaker 1: I have been the entire preseason, the entire training camp,
Speaker 1: Greg is that I have Dalvin Cook still ahead of
Speaker 1: Leonard for it, just because I'm worried about that foot injury.
Speaker 1: But come the end of the year, would it surprise
Speaker 1: me if he's forty two fifty receptions this year and
Speaker 1: you know, scores double digit touchdowns. No, it wouldn't surprise
Speaker 1: me one bit. Yeah, I don't think I almost expected
Speaker 1: in a way. To be honest with you, I love
Speaker 1: Leonard Ford at this year. UM don't have him either,
Speaker 1: and I don't expect to get him. I actually won't
Speaker 1: get on that. I'm not gonna do that. But take
Speaker 1: him from home. So the first Sunday, what do you
Speaker 1: think he would do if you stole Leonard for Nett
Speaker 1: right from under him. So the first Sunday of the
Speaker 1: NFL season, the Giants obviously play the Jaguars. We have
Speaker 1: tickets to go to, we have tea to go to
Speaker 1: that game together, and that's happening, and I have Quon
Speaker 1: theoretically and he has letters for that theoretically. Because of that,
Speaker 1: you emanate to work that Sunday, I'm telling you right
Speaker 1: now on the air. So you can't get out of it.
Speaker 1: Um wait, wait, alright, we'll talk because, uh, what's Yang
Speaker 1: doing that day? He still be here? Uh? Can we
Speaker 1: get Michael Floorio back in Sunday morning? You can? You can.
Speaker 1: You can see him across the country. There you go,
Speaker 1: there you go. Um yeah, so I have taken That
Speaker 1: should be fun and it is fun. Like I know
Speaker 1: you want to take your heart out of it, but
Speaker 1: it is fun in the first round when you're in
Speaker 1: that right spot to take your guy from your team's
Speaker 1: and that picks seven, I have no problem taking take
Speaker 1: one day. Yeah, was gonna break. Want to come back
Speaker 1: more risers? Certainly some guys that are falling as well.
Speaker 1: Who's rising? Who's falling? Your bfs, You're they're going to

Speaker 1: With those phone lines jam packed and for getting to
Speaker 1: those rises and followers, O b J got paid. None
Speaker 1: of this is a surprise. Actually, how this all ended
Speaker 1: up um simply because he was going to get paid.
Speaker 1: He was going to become the highest wide receiver in
Speaker 1: his paid wide receiver in the history of the NFL.
Speaker 1: And it happened. And I give credits Odell where he
Speaker 1: showed up all year, like a lot of people hold
Speaker 1: out the situation Khalil, Aaron Donald, the contemporaries of Odell
Speaker 1: holding out for the same thing. And O'Dell showed up
Speaker 1: and those two guys are still holding out because they
Speaker 1: didn't get paid. Odell showed up practice all spring and
Speaker 1: all summer and got paid. I keep him credit for
Speaker 1: that and it worked out. Do you think it almost
Speaker 1: helps your cause more when you come in and you
Speaker 1: just feel like a goody two shoes, you do what's
Speaker 1: asked of you. You know you don't cause this big
Speaker 1: russ because we know Odell Beckham, he has the big personality.
Speaker 1: We've you know, we've it's almost affected his fantasy play
Speaker 1: at times, because you know you worry about those things.
Speaker 1: But do you think the fact that he just came
Speaker 1: in here and like, did his job help the cost?
Speaker 1: Do I think so? I think every situation is obviously different, right,
Speaker 1: And I understand what players need to sit out because
Speaker 1: that's the only leverage they have, right, Like they don't
Speaker 1: show up, they maybe their team will realize we gotta
Speaker 1: pay you. And that's the point of sitting out games, right,
Speaker 1: Like the Raiders get attacked across the middle over the
Speaker 1: first week or two of the season, they're like, we
Speaker 1: gotta get clear in here, and that's leverage. I get that.
Speaker 1: For O'Dell, as you mentioned, there is a big difference
Speaker 1: like being there, not doing stuff on Instagram or Snapchat
Speaker 1: or being around on TMZ, just going to work and
Speaker 1: doing your job. And it's clear from the videos we
Speaker 1: saw yesterday's teammates absolutely love him quietly going about his
Speaker 1: business even though he didn't and it seems like him
Speaker 1: and the Giants came to an agreement that he wouldn't
Speaker 1: play a game during the preseason. I give him credit,
Speaker 1: and obviously going into the year he had that um
Speaker 1: that video that came out and some scuffle and some
Speaker 1: some information, but of the last few months his agent
Speaker 1: work with the Giants, and for him it was the
Speaker 1: right thing and it made sense and we've got to work.
Speaker 1: After both sets, I think we dropped the ball here.
Speaker 1: We probably should have made today's poll now that Odell
Speaker 1: Beckham got paid, what is the first crazy thing that
Speaker 1: he does besides obviously dance in the locker room. But
Speaker 1: I mean, would it be outside the realm of possibility
Speaker 1: that now that he got paid, he just, I don't know,
Speaker 1: does something stupid because we've seen it before, of course,
Speaker 1: not that's the first thing he does, Greg, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know, um because he you know, trying to
Speaker 1: punch a kicker's net or what's what's He's just passionate, man,
Speaker 1: He's just passionate. I appreciate the passion because look, my
Speaker 1: favorite wide receiver is growing up, Oto Sinko, Terrell always
Speaker 1: des Brian. I mean, there's guys that are all like
Speaker 1: hot heads and they want the ball at all time.
Speaker 1: So I appreciate the passion. But sometimes it's gone a
Speaker 1: little bit too far with it. But we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: I mean for fantasy purposes. Look, I think he's being
Speaker 1: a little bit devalued. You're seeing him going at the
Speaker 1: swing pick, you know, at the first and second round.
Speaker 1: Certain I don't really understand why. Yeah, you know, ultimately, ultimately,
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. Cant has the ability to finishes the
Speaker 1: number one overwall, overall wide receiver, if not player other
Speaker 1: than quarterback. Right, I think he finishes the number one player.
Speaker 1: He has that aby to get him potentially with to
Speaker 1: one to two. It's prettydamn cool. That's why I personally,
Speaker 1: I like that back into the draft, the way that
Speaker 1: I've seen everything kind of unraveled this year. I like
Speaker 1: that back into the draft way more than like it's
Speaker 1: six through eight. You know, I just traded. I just
Speaker 1: I just traded for seven. I'm sorry, it's fine, and
Speaker 1: I mean to get one of Odell Beckham or DeAndre Howkins,
Speaker 1: impair them with a workhorse running back. The problem the problem.
Speaker 1: The problem is the workhorse running back. Like you have
Speaker 1: to be comfortable with Dalvin cook and or Christian or
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey as that workhorse running back. If you're comfortable
Speaker 1: with that, all good. Everybody else is now off the table.
Speaker 1: But that's what that's what's happened. So theoretically, when you
Speaker 1: were at eleven, when a guy like DeAndre Hopkins was
Speaker 1: going six to eight, or when Odell Beckham or Julio
Speaker 1: Jones was potentially in there, it was really really good.
Speaker 1: But now it's not so much because in every draft
Speaker 1: we have been in together, we've seen all the running
Speaker 1: backs just pile up, and I was afraid of that
Speaker 1: happening again to me and getting snu stuck with the
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins Downland Cook because it's very good, but I
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm scared off by Dowland Cook for some reason.
Speaker 1: He's a faller. He's clearly a faller. Yeah, he's following
Speaker 1: a little bit. That's just the result of CMC rising.
Speaker 1: You know, if someone's rising, someone's gotta fall a little bit.
Speaker 1: And that's that's where Dalvin Cook comes in. Yeah. Um.
Speaker 1: The next faller I want to mention is the guy
Speaker 1: that you have not liked throughout this process. You drafted
Speaker 1: him once, we haven't really liked him, and that's Jerick McKinnon.
Speaker 1: In the draft that we were in on Sunday, Frank
Speaker 1: jerck McKinnon. McKinnon fell all the way to four eleven,
Speaker 1: where you snapped him up and I was gonna grab
Speaker 1: him one pick later. Now, McKinnon. McKinnon is somebody we
Speaker 1: were seeing going in the second round consistently, sometimes early
Speaker 1: second round. Why is the injury the reason he has fallen? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think so. I think you know this scene bringing
Speaker 1: in Alfred Morris. Um really rotating running backs throughout the preseason,
Speaker 1: getting looks at Alfred Morris, Jeremy McNichols, even Joe Williams,
Speaker 1: Matt Brita who was banged up as well. Um, But
Speaker 1: I think you have the injury factors into it. He
Speaker 1: was consistently going in the second round. Now we see
Speaker 1: his NFFC ADP in this past weekend of draft, so
Speaker 1: really the most recent ADP that we have, he's going
Speaker 1: at pick twenty eight, so more consistently in the early
Speaker 1: to mid third round. And as you mentioned, I got
Speaker 1: him on Sunday in the Carton and Friends Draft at
Speaker 1: pick forty seven. Everyone who listens and watches knows I
Speaker 1: don't like Jack McKinnon. But in a full point PPR,
Speaker 1: to get him at pick forty seven as your RB
Speaker 1: to and pair him with Levian Bell, I'll do that
Speaker 1: every time because I still think he has the ability
Speaker 1: to catch sixty plus passes this year. I just worry
Speaker 1: about his efficiency overall. Will he hold up for the
Speaker 1: entirety of the season. Um, But still, if you're gonna
Speaker 1: get sixty seventy receptions out of a running back at
Speaker 1: the end of the fourth round. I'll take that every time,
Speaker 1: but should I do I appreciate the fact that he's
Speaker 1: following a little bit because this is closer to where
Speaker 1: he should have been the entire time. In my opinion,
Speaker 1: should Alfred Morris be drafted? I think it's kind of
Speaker 1: hard to figure out who the backup forty is running
Speaker 1: back is at this point right because we haven't seen
Speaker 1: much of Matt Breedo. We don't know how healthy he
Speaker 1: is going to be. If I had to choose one
Speaker 1: of them, I still think it is Matt Breed, uh,
Speaker 1: but you know, if he isn't healthy, I mean he
Speaker 1: has a smaller running back as well, similar to Jack McKinnon. Um,
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's between Brita and Alfred Morris.
Speaker 1: But you know, as we get more reports, if it
Speaker 1: comes out that Brida isn't healthy heading into week one
Speaker 1: or early on in the season, then yes, Alfred Moore
Speaker 1: should be on rosters. In my opinion, it's interesting we've
Speaker 1: talked about a follower. Well, well, I'm not gonna go
Speaker 1: back into Jamal Williams because we don't We talked about
Speaker 1: him a lot on the show, but I saw the
Speaker 1: run a World report about you know, how hig met
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy is on him, and I love wrote a world.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows that that report is very old, Like we
Speaker 1: read that, you and I read that tweet on the air,
Speaker 1: and that tweets literally a week or two old. That
Speaker 1: the reporter then filed ESPN and made a blog about it.
Speaker 1: That's fine, but that that's not new information. It's the
Speaker 1: same quote we heard literally a week or two again.
Speaker 1: So why is it coming out again now? I think
Speaker 1: because the writer who tweeted it probably probably wrote an
Speaker 1: article about it. Maybe, okay, yeah, but it is an
Speaker 1: old report. But I just I just threw it there
Speaker 1: because it's something that people are talking about. And look
Speaker 1: to Ball Williams versus Aaron Jones. I've I've been on
Speaker 1: the record. I'm going to take a shot on the Packers.
Speaker 1: It wasnt We don't get any get into it every day.
Speaker 1: That's fine. Look, and that's if you can grab him
Speaker 1: in the six and Aaron Jones and I I think
Speaker 1: if you draft him, you absolutely have to draft Aaron
Speaker 1: Jones as well. Yeah, I agree, I did not get
Speaker 1: him in the league. I'm actually talking trade with the
Speaker 1: owner of that hasn't right now as you should. I
Speaker 1: you know, I just just insurance. Man. I think he's
Speaker 1: the more talented player of the two, honestly. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of people believe that I want
Speaker 1: to offer him THEO ride for see if he says
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, I appreciate that. Um alright, well, um
Speaker 1: let me get to do another riser, another riser, because
Speaker 1: they did a couple of followers here, and I want
Speaker 1: to get into two particular situations because I think they're
Speaker 1: very similar, and that's Seattle and Tampa Bay. In Tampa Bay,
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones has now all on to pick one oh two. Frank,
Speaker 1: you were the really high guy on Ronald Jones about
Speaker 1: a month ago before. He has stunk up the joint
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Like you loved Ronald Jones, but he
Speaker 1: hasn't done anything well. Because of that, Peyton Barber has
Speaker 1: now risen all the way to ninety two. If you
Speaker 1: had the draft one Tama Bay running back, who would
Speaker 1: it be? I it depends on your situation, your roster.
Speaker 1: It really does come on because look, Peyton Barber is
Speaker 1: going to be the guy early on in the season,
Speaker 1: but I don't think he's going to hold onto the
Speaker 1: job for the entirety of the season. I think at
Speaker 1: some point Ronald Jones is going to have a role.
Speaker 1: But based on everything we've seen in the preseason, Ronald
Speaker 1: Jones is not ready yet. He just isn't. He's he's
Speaker 1: he's stunk it up on past protection. He hasn't done
Speaker 1: great as a receiver. Mind you, he did have that
Speaker 1: you know, thirty plus yard reception this past week, but
Speaker 1: he's not hitting the holes once he is getting the
Speaker 1: ball on handoffs, he looks a little tentative. He looks
Speaker 1: a little bit nervous. Um. So, I just don't think
Speaker 1: he's ready to be an NFL running back. And that
Speaker 1: changed by week six, seven eight, It certainly could. Um. So,
Speaker 1: you know, the more he gets into the game like
Speaker 1: he's not not going to have a role, they use
Speaker 1: a second round pick on him, so he'll have he'll
Speaker 1: get you know, six to ten touches per game, maybe
Speaker 1: to start the year. But look, Peyton Barber, I think
Speaker 1: it makes sense to pair him with a guy like
Speaker 1: Mark Ingram. I think that makes sense because Ingram the
Speaker 1: four game suspension, and I think early on in the year,
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber is their guy. So if I have to
Speaker 1: choose one, I still will take a lean Peyton Barber.
Speaker 1: But I think it's situationally dependent. If you have running
Speaker 1: backs that you trust early on in the season and
Speaker 1: you want to kind of take a stash guy that
Speaker 1: you think can help you later, uh, you know, in
Speaker 1: the second half of the year, then Ronald Jones is
Speaker 1: your guy. If you need help early on, if you
Speaker 1: draft mark Ingram, I think Peyton Barber is the guy.
Speaker 1: And that's how I would assess the situation. Okay, so
Speaker 1: there you go. If you need a guy right now
Speaker 1: to fill in to start, Payton Barber is the guy.
Speaker 1: If you have the ability just long term it, Ronald
Speaker 1: Jones could be your guy obviously, And and that's not
Speaker 1: saying anything that is out of left field, but the
Speaker 1: reason that i leaned towards Ronald Jones and I'm interested
Speaker 1: in these running backs, like the rookie running backs are falling,
Speaker 1: including rashand Penny who will get to you in a moment.
Speaker 1: I have Alvi Camara flashbacks, and Albercamaro is somebody who
Speaker 1: started third on that depth chart in New Orleans behind
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. And behind mark Ingram and I drafted him
Speaker 1: in the league. After a week two I dropped him
Speaker 1: because he wasn't doing anything, And of course Alvin Camaro
Speaker 1: became Alvin Camara. And I think that with Royce Freeman,
Speaker 1: with Rashad Penny, and with Ronald Jones, there is potential
Speaker 1: for one of these guys to go off, whether it's
Speaker 1: due to injury to Chris Carson or an injury to
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber, or an injury or an effectiveness Debonta DeVante Booker.
Speaker 1: I think the reason why I want some of these
Speaker 1: guys and I want take these shots later on a
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley or Michael Gallup on a court and Sutton,
Speaker 1: because I think there is potential for one so one
Speaker 1: of these guys to break out. There is that potential
Speaker 1: to not just like he's suitable, like really break out.
Speaker 1: Is that too much PTSD with Alvin Kamara or am
Speaker 1: I doing the right thing? I think it's tough. I
Speaker 1: think it's a lesson to be learned that you want
Speaker 1: to preach patients when you have these young players that
Speaker 1: we know are talented. Right, So, like the thing is,
Speaker 1: if you get off to a slow start in fantasy
Speaker 1: and you have to cut these players on your bench
Speaker 1: who are not helping you right now, That's where you
Speaker 1: have to start to make tough de susans like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you want to hold onto Ronald Jones. Yeah, you want
Speaker 1: to hold on to Calvin Ridley. But what if you
Speaker 1: know the first couple of weeks they aren't factors and
Speaker 1: you get you start off O. N two and you
Speaker 1: you know you need to pick up wide receivers or
Speaker 1: running backs that are you know, popping off on the
Speaker 1: waiver wire, and you need to take that shot. How
Speaker 1: patient can you afford to be waiting on the talent
Speaker 1: of these guys again, Ronald Jones is struggling now. Everything
Speaker 1: I said about him early on in the draft season
Speaker 1: that I liked about him still holds true. He was
Speaker 1: a very talent to player in college. Um, he has explosiveness.
Speaker 1: He is one of the fastest running backs at the combine.
Speaker 1: They compared him to Jamal Charles coming out. Obviously we
Speaker 1: know he isn't the receiver that Jamal Charles is. There's
Speaker 1: still a lot to like about Ronald Jones. And I
Speaker 1: think you take a few shots on your bench or
Speaker 1: these stash guys, but your entire bench can't just be
Speaker 1: the guys like you need, especially early on if you
Speaker 1: have injuries or if you have under performance and you're
Speaker 1: starting lineup, you have to have some guys that you
Speaker 1: can go to on your bench. So, yeah, you take
Speaker 1: one too, maybe three shots on your bench with these
Speaker 1: upside stash plays. But I'm telling you, come week three,
Speaker 1: if Ronald Jones hasn't done anything, you might end up
Speaker 1: doing what you did last year when you cut Alvin
Speaker 1: Kamara with Ronald Jones this season and then maybe come
Speaker 1: you know, week eight or later, you end up regretting
Speaker 1: that decision. Yeah, I think it's fair. I think it's completely, completely,
Speaker 1: completely fair what you're saying, that you can take a
Speaker 1: few shots, but not all shots when it comes to
Speaker 1: Chris Carson and Rashan Penny. Penny also falling, Chris Carson
Speaker 1: not rising as much as I thought he would. Hell come,
Speaker 1: I think people just don't really buy it. I think
Speaker 1: they see Rashad Penny drafted in the first round, and
Speaker 1: I think it's evident now that the Seahawks don't really
Speaker 1: know what they're doing. Given all the holes that they
Speaker 1: have on this team, they went out and drafted a
Speaker 1: running back in the first round of the NFL Draft
Speaker 1: in Rashad Penny, and now you're not even going to
Speaker 1: give that guy the opportunity for an early season role. Yes,
Speaker 1: he has the finger injury, so he you know, you
Speaker 1: want him to be healthy before he starts carrying the
Speaker 1: ball so he doesn't fumble and have these issues. But
Speaker 1: he's struggle in past protection. We've heard that a million
Speaker 1: times with rookie running backs before, and by all accounts,
Speaker 1: every single Seahawks beat reporter that we've heard from says
Speaker 1: that Chris Carson is just dominating. He's dominating first team reps.
Speaker 1: He's doing everything he's supposed to. He's he's performing well
Speaker 1: in past protection. UM, he's looked well. He scored a
Speaker 1: touchdown this past week as well. So by all accounts,
Speaker 1: what we've heard is Chris Carson is the guy. UM.
Speaker 1: But I just think people aren't buying it because the
Speaker 1: draft capital that the Seahawks used on Rashad Penny. I
Speaker 1: think now it's easier too, if you want to draft
Speaker 1: both of those guys, pull it off, because you can
Speaker 1: get a Parson in round eight Rashad Penny in round nine.
Speaker 1: But do you really want to invest too draft picks
Speaker 1: in the Seahawks backfield. Probably not, probably not, probably not.
Speaker 1: I'd rather to do to the Jamal Williams Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: thing like that's but like will then would I have
Speaker 1: to give up more? You have to give up like
Speaker 1: your six? Right? But Corey was saying yesterday, I think
Speaker 1: on the frenzy, like, do you want to invest in
Speaker 1: the Green Bay running back? That makes sense? I don't
Speaker 1: know I do because even Eddie Lacey, who is now
Speaker 1: out of the league, was a fantasy viable running back.
Speaker 1: He was a top five pick two years in a
Speaker 1: row with the Green Bay Packers. You don't need to
Speaker 1: be a great running back by any means to be
Speaker 1: fantasy viable. In the Packers backfield. It's just as potent
Speaker 1: as that offense is. They're going to be in the
Speaker 1: red zone a lot. They're gonna have plenty of scoring
Speaker 1: opportunities for touchdown, you know, for touchdowns for their running backs.
Speaker 1: And I like drafting both of those guys because you know,
Speaker 1: if Jamal Williams get off to a slow start, then
Speaker 1: they give Aaron Jones the opportunity. Again, I'll continue see it.
Speaker 1: I think Aaron Jones is the more talented guy. But again,
Speaker 1: if you draft one, you have to draft the other first. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think it makes too much sense. Obviously,
Speaker 1: not too We're gonna hit the break. I want to
Speaker 1: take your calls obviously when we come back and eat
Speaker 1: four four eight, four, three, six, eight seven nine, we
Speaker 1: the people will also talk about the rising and falling
Speaker 1: wide receivers, including guys uh like a Michael Crabtree um
Speaker 1: who Frank and I feel differently about. Um, Like Chris Godwin,
Speaker 1: who I think it's really really interesting, who I hadn't
Speaker 1: thought about. Kenny Golladay as well. Cooper caught Manny Sanders,
Speaker 1: a whole lot more stick around, more coming your way,
Speaker 1: the fantasy bests forever. We're after this like a great

Speaker 1: calls in just a few seconds and you're holding on
Speaker 1: the line and I appreciate it. But Frank, before we
Speaker 1: do on this Michael Crabtree thing. So Michael Crabtree is
Speaker 1: currently going off the board very early in the fifth
Speaker 1: round or to have a six round? Yeah, five six turns.
Speaker 1: Maybe I have PTSD when it comes to Michael Crabtree
Speaker 1: as well, not catching a ball in that last game
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and being suspended for a game and
Speaker 1: thrown out of a game. Maybe all that. I love
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree last year, but I also don't normally ever
Speaker 1: like the Baltimore offense. I just never want pieces. You're
Speaker 1: an Oux Collins guy, and you pushed the other on Saturday.
Speaker 1: First the draft Michel Crabtree because you thought the value
Speaker 1: was there, not in the six round. It was a
Speaker 1: little bit later on than that. Um what I wanted
Speaker 1: Robert Woods in the seventh You're like, we screwed up
Speaker 1: by not taking Michael Crabtree here. We would have taken
Speaker 1: him if he came back in the eighth. He ultimately
Speaker 1: did not. What say you this year about Michael Crabtree.
Speaker 1: I don't really understand why he's getting pushed up draft
Speaker 1: boards now he's going on that five six turn, whereas
Speaker 1: earlier on in the draft season a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: he was going more so in that six seven turn.
Speaker 1: I think we were seeing him there consistently in the
Speaker 1: sixth round. But I don't know why he's moving closer
Speaker 1: to the fifth round. I haven't really seen anything in
Speaker 1: the preseason. He has only two catches, and we've seen
Speaker 1: John Brown uh take off a little bit here as well.
Speaker 1: He's rising up draft boards as well, but he's just
Speaker 1: a deeper flyer, especially in best ball formats in my opinion.
Speaker 1: But I don't really understand the Michael Crabt you love.
Speaker 1: If people wanted to paint the picture that he's the
Speaker 1: Steve Smith of this offense or the ankle On Bolden
Speaker 1: of this offense years past, I guess there's a chance
Speaker 1: that happened. Maybe it's the Hayde and Hurst injury. They
Speaker 1: have to throw the ball to somebody. But I think
Speaker 1: this team is more of the same that we've seen
Speaker 1: out of the Ravens. A lot of running the ball.
Speaker 1: They'll take a few deep shots, They'll they'll probably throw
Speaker 1: the ball a ton to their running backs. I think
Speaker 1: buck Allen uh sleeper PPR running back at fifty plus
Speaker 1: receptions again last year. Just this offense isn't the passing
Speaker 1: offense doesn't overly excite me. I don't really understand why
Speaker 1: Michael crabs she's moving closer to the fifth round range
Speaker 1: right now. Greg, Yeah, I don't get it either. This
Speaker 1: office is even if Joe Flacco is better as people expect,
Speaker 1: I'm not doing the micrograb. I think he's formidable as
Speaker 1: a wide receiver three. He's viable. But you know we
Speaker 1: took Robert Woods. I think he's in that range. I
Speaker 1: think he's a solid wide receiver three, maybe a low
Speaker 1: end wide receiver three. Um, but I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: pushing him up closer to the fifth round. You know,
Speaker 1: the guy who's actually rising that's right behind him is
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders going at pick sixty two. If I had
Speaker 1: to choose one of those two guys right now, I
Speaker 1: would actually take Emmanuel Sanders. Okay, Emmanuel Sanders personally for me,
Speaker 1: and we just saw him go in the fifth round
Speaker 1: in the GFC draft over the weekend. It's funny because
Speaker 1: Damarius is dropping a little bit. I think there's a
Speaker 1: chance that when it's all said and done, Emmanuel Sanders
Speaker 1: and Demarus Thomas are gonna end up going pretty close
Speaker 1: to each other here. I know, I saw a few
Speaker 1: reports that in the third preseason game, obviously Emmanuel Sanders
Speaker 1: had a very good game. Um he was working more
Speaker 1: so in the slot. And we know that he's keenom
Speaker 1: likes throwing the ball to the slot. And that was
Speaker 1: my case for Damarius Thomas a week ago when we
Speaker 1: were talking about him, is that we had reports early
Speaker 1: on in training camp that they were working to Marry
Speaker 1: Thomas in that slot, and I thought he would take
Speaker 1: on maybe that Larry Fitzgerald role that he's done what
Speaker 1: he's done with the Cardinals. Maybe we see to Marry
Speaker 1: Thomas who that with the Broncos this year. You know,
Speaker 1: now that he's getting up there in age, you don't
Speaker 1: have to work on on the outside his mouth. You
Speaker 1: put you pull him inside and you work him there.
Speaker 1: We saw a lot of Emmanuel Sanders in the slot
Speaker 1: in that third preseason game. So if he's the guy,
Speaker 1: I think he's more dynamic at this age in his
Speaker 1: career then to Marius Thomas. So I understand why one
Speaker 1: is falling down and the other is actually rising and
Speaker 1: then Chris when before we hit the break and Godwin
Speaker 1: is somebody. We saw Adam Rohna's take in the ninth
Speaker 1: round of the g S T and I always pay
Speaker 1: attention to what Rhonas does. He's obviously a great player.
Speaker 1: He's like, he's awesome, right, he think in the ninth round,
Speaker 1: and I remember, I don't know if I looked at
Speaker 1: you or just didn't in my head, but I was like,
Speaker 1: this just seems early to me, and Rodas immediately responded
Speaker 1: to like, listen, I know it's early, but I wanted
Speaker 1: to make sure I got him. That's fine. You can
Speaker 1: always go out and get your guy. We say that
Speaker 1: every day. But why is he taking Chris Godwin in
Speaker 1: the ninth round? Well? What am I missing there? Again?
Speaker 1: This is a preseason riser and I could see it
Speaker 1: here because look, I do. We have a lot of
Speaker 1: faith in the Buccaneers defense. They could be in a
Speaker 1: lot of shootouts this year. Chris Godwin, I think, overall,
Speaker 1: is a more talented player at this point in his
Speaker 1: career than DeShawn Jackson all around wise, yes, DeShawn Jackson
Speaker 1: can fill his role in the offense. They're gonna take
Speaker 1: a few deep shots per game. He'll get his targets.
Speaker 1: And they paid to Shawn Jackson. In hindsight, they probably
Speaker 1: regret doing that seeing what they have in Chris Godwin.
Speaker 1: He flashed a little bit towards the end of last season.
Speaker 1: Part of the reason that Mike Evans was a letdown
Speaker 1: last year. So, um, there's a lot of mounts to
Speaker 1: feed in this offense. I think that's the reason why
Speaker 1: I can't pull him up that high into the ninth
Speaker 1: round because Jamis fits like throwing at the tight end,
Speaker 1: um so, and Mike Evans is gonna get his So really,
Speaker 1: how many targets are there to go around for Chris Godwin.
Speaker 1: But I will say, if anything, if an injury happens,
Speaker 1: I could see Chris Godwin easily, you know, being like
Speaker 1: a top twenty wide receiver if something were to happen
Speaker 1: to Evans. But I'm not going to draft him banking
Speaker 1: on that happening exactly. I don't. I don't think you can.
Speaker 1: And maybe Evans does, maybe Evans does get hurt. Ultimately,
Speaker 1: maybe Godwin does become the strong second wide receiver. But
Speaker 1: there's a lot of pieces in this offense. Is Sean
Speaker 1: Jackson has his role. Mike Evans is the alpha, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. You draft O. J. Howard, you draft,
Speaker 1: you have camera, you resigned Cameron Braid. I'm not banking
Speaker 1: on it is I'm not banking on it. And when
Speaker 1: you talk about Chris Godwin, it's hard not to immediately
Speaker 1: think of Kenny Golladay also, And I've read a lot
Speaker 1: of people that are afraid of Marvin Jones because of
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay, and he's a bill. They just step up
Speaker 1: and be the number two there. Now there's not as
Speaker 1: many malice to feed in Detroit. You have Golden Tate,
Speaker 1: who has his role, the Ricky Brown's gone, Marvin Jones. Sure, theoretic, sure,
Speaker 1: I think I'd rather own Golladay than I would god One.
Speaker 1: That is close. And I could see why you're saying that.
Speaker 1: What I thought you were gonna say is who would
Speaker 1: you rather own right now based on where they're going,
Speaker 1: Kenny Galley in like the tenth round or Marvin Jones
Speaker 1: in the fifth round, because I think there could be
Speaker 1: games where their production is kind of similar. Tang you know,
Speaker 1: like one game it's Marvin Jones, one game it's Kenny Gollady,
Speaker 1: but the lost the departure of Eric Ebron certainly does
Speaker 1: open up some opportunity here for Kenny Golladay. I think,
Speaker 1: you know, you have him and Marvin Jones on the
Speaker 1: outside as those big receivers, guys that can do work
Speaker 1: in the red zone, and then Golden Tate, who you
Speaker 1: just move all over the field. You know how I
Speaker 1: feel about the lines passing game. I think they're a
Speaker 1: little bit more of a balance attack this year. But
Speaker 1: that's why I've kind of faded Marvin Jones a little bit.
Speaker 1: I haven't drafted him on any of my teams. I
Speaker 1: just think drafting him in that fifth round, if Kenny
Speaker 1: Golladay is healthy, um, I'm not sure that he's going
Speaker 1: to come close to doing what he did. I think
Speaker 1: we I think we drafted him the fifth or sixth
Speaker 1: round in Carton's draft, and he's my wide receiver three.
Speaker 1: I think it's okay. You know, it's not terrible. It's
Speaker 1: I'm not relying on him as my wide receiver too, obviously.
Speaker 1: I think it's okay. I I probably would rather have
Speaker 1: Galladay in like the tenth I agree, I agree with
Speaker 1: you with that. Take the shot there and it doesn't
Speaker 1: pay off, it doesn't pay off, it doesn't cast me anything.
Speaker 1: I think as again as a wide receiver three, I'm
Speaker 1: okay with it. That's why I drafted him there. I
Speaker 1: thought the value was was was good. Um, but I
Speaker 1: think if you gave me the option, I would take
Speaker 1: Holiday five rounds later. Did you have the option? Oh no,
Speaker 1: you didn't have this option. But if you did, who
Speaker 1: would you take between Marvin Jones and Corey Davis? Because
Speaker 1: I think those guys are cemented fifth round wide receivers.
Speaker 1: Who you might have to make that decision if you're
Speaker 1: drafting this weekend. It's funny because my answer to that
Speaker 1: originally would have been I'd take Chris Hogan, who was
Speaker 1: also going in that spot, and now he's risen. He's
Speaker 1: risen like a whole round here. Chris Hogan again, he
Speaker 1: was my answer. If if I have to choose between
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones and Corey Davis, I think I would take
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones. I don't feel good about it, but I
Speaker 1: think I would take Marvin Jones. I would take Corey Davis.
Speaker 1: I've consistently had him ranked higher than to Marvin Jones.
Speaker 1: I just think the talent is there where he was
Speaker 1: drafting the draft. They clearly want him to be the
Speaker 1: team's number one wide receiver. Remember we got that report
Speaker 1: recently that, uh, yeah, the passing game is going to
Speaker 1: be focused around Corey Davis. They're moving him all over
Speaker 1: the field. So you like to see reports like that.
Speaker 1: You don't want to buy in too much. But all
Speaker 1: along I've had him in that fifth round range as
Speaker 1: a solid wide receiver three. I just think the opportunity
Speaker 1: for volume and upside is just much higher than it
Speaker 1: is with Marvin Joe Lea to a couple of followers
Speaker 1: before we hit the phone lines, and of course have
Speaker 1: to sign off of YouTube as well. UM some wide
Speaker 1: receiver followers. Randall Cobb, the Randall Cops had this mystery injury,
Speaker 1: mry injury. He's just been injured all preseason. It doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like there's availability questions for early on in the year.
Speaker 1: But I have zero shares Randall Cob. I was interested
Speaker 1: in Randall Cob. I have Geronimo Allison everywhere. Um, are
Speaker 1: you still in on CAB? I know you were earlier.
Speaker 1: I've dropped him a little bit in the rankings, and
Speaker 1: I am a little worried. Look, we haven't seen him
Speaker 1: in the preseason at all. We heard the report that
Speaker 1: they were shopping him. They there's a chance that they
Speaker 1: can cut him. I mean, I think that would be
Speaker 1: very surprising. But there's a lot of money there on
Speaker 1: the contract, so they could cut him and they could
Speaker 1: save some money here. And they've talked up Geronimo Allison
Speaker 1: for this team. So I remember last week when the
Speaker 1: report came out that they were shopping him. You know,
Speaker 1: I tweeted out, Look, Geronimo Allison, who has to start
Speaker 1: drafting this guy a little bit earlier than he's been
Speaker 1: going because if Cobb isn't ready to start the year,
Speaker 1: or if anything happens to him, Ronimo Allison is going
Speaker 1: outside the top fifty wide receivers, and that means he
Speaker 1: instantly has top thirty, top twenty five. Right So, based
Speaker 1: on where Randall cop was going, verst Toronomo Allison, I'm
Speaker 1: I would rather take the value on Toronomo aut You're
Speaker 1: getting him five six rounds later sometimes and Randall Cobb
Speaker 1: is going, but he's slipping down draft boards, and I
Speaker 1: think rightfully so, Isaiah Crowell has also slipped a bit.
Speaker 1: I was high I was very high on him early
Speaker 1: in this summer. Blow Powell started, I believe, every preseason
Speaker 1: game for the Jets. I got a question about Powell
Speaker 1: last night from from a listener. I appreciate it. Um
Speaker 1: He said, should I drop Jordan Wilkins or Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: from blow Powell? And MY initial reaction was was no,
Speaker 1: And I still sent him the message no. But I
Speaker 1: was thinking about it today when we mentioned Crowell being
Speaker 1: a fuller, and I'm like, am I sleeping too much
Speaker 1: on Powell? You're the Jets fan, Frank, Well, what do
Speaker 1: you think? Yeah? I certainly think that Powell has closed
Speaker 1: the gap here. I think they should be closer in
Speaker 1: rankings now. Look, Powell has started all three preseason games.
Speaker 1: He scored a touchdown in that third game against the
Speaker 1: New York Giants. And look, in years past, they haven't
Speaker 1: really figured out how to use ball Powell consistently. What
Speaker 1: they have a new offensive coordinator now in Jeremy Bates,
Speaker 1: So I think we have to take some some of
Speaker 1: that into consideration here, that maybe this offensive coordinator finally
Speaker 1: figured out how to get ball power more involved consistently.
Speaker 1: But they did go out and they gave some money
Speaker 1: to Isaiah krow Well, so I think they're closer. But
Speaker 1: I think if you own one of them, you want
Speaker 1: to own both of them. If something were to happen
Speaker 1: to Crowell, um he's banged up, has the concussion. Maybe
Speaker 1: ball Power has a pretty big workload early on in
Speaker 1: the season, so they've closed the gap. I don't think
Speaker 1: that krow Well should be in that same tier with
Speaker 1: you know, Jamal Williams and carry on Johnson anymore. I
Speaker 1: think you move him down a little bit and you
Speaker 1: move ball Power up the draft board. I actually would
Speaker 1: have answered your question um that I would rather own
Speaker 1: ball Power than George. Yeah, I figured that's I figured
Speaker 1: that's the direction you would go. But that will side off. YouTube.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you watching, obviously, if you're listening on on
Speaker 1: demand or you're listening live on the radio, we'll go.
Speaker 1: We have another five minutes. We're gonna take your calls
Speaker 1: exclusively the rest of the way, So appreciate you watching,
Speaker 1: and the fantasy people, ball frenzy comes your way X
Speaker 1: eight four four eight four three six seven nine. Let's
Speaker 1: go to Jason in Cincinnati. Let's going on, Jason, Hey,
Speaker 1: are you doing Guys doing great man. What's happening? Um question?
Speaker 1: I have a keeper league UH ten teams PPR, and
Speaker 1: I have the option to keep. This is the first
Speaker 1: round keeper um either Creem Hunt or A B or
Speaker 1: um Alvin Kamara. I was leaning towards Alvin Kamara. Was
Speaker 1: that the way you guys will go with? I'd probably
Speaker 1: I would lead to Alvin Camari. Yes, I agree with that, Frank, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd rather take the running back here. I understand. I
Speaker 1: think camar verus A B is extremely extremely close, but
Speaker 1: you want to lock down that running back and then
Speaker 1: I think an attention when you're gonna have your option
Speaker 1: at a great winter to totally agree with that, totally
Speaker 1: with you. Let's go to Joe in New Jersey. What's up? Joe? Hey, Joe?
Speaker 1: What's up? Man? Oh? What's all? Thank you? How were
Speaker 1: doing doing great? Dude? What's up? Oh? I got a
Speaker 1: quick trade question for you. So I made a little
Speaker 1: mistake in my full point PPR Start two Quarterback league.
Speaker 1: I took Melvin Gordon, Adam Deeling, and Power Rudolph. I
Speaker 1: was gonna try to ship off Adam Feeland for t
Speaker 1: Y Hilton. Do you think I should do it? Adam
Speaker 1: Feeling for t Y Hilton. What do you think, Frank
Speaker 1: in the PPR League. I think they're closely ranked. But
Speaker 1: I have no problem if you just wanted to free up,
Speaker 1: you know, not having that many Vikings on your team,
Speaker 1: trading Feeling for t Y. Actually have Hilton ranked higher
Speaker 1: than Feeling. I don't have a problem with trade Greg.
Speaker 1: Look at my rankings I have. I have Adam Feeling, uh,
Speaker 1: two spots behind t Y Hilton. I'm good with that.
Speaker 1: I'd rather have t Y Hilton. So there you go, Ye,
Speaker 1: there you go. Let's go to Jake in Dallas. Let's
Speaker 1: going on, Jaki, Jake? What's going on? Man? I just
Speaker 1: got a couple of points to point on. I had
Speaker 1: my draft this past weekend. I think I got two
Speaker 1: of the biggest steels in the draft. I got Josh
Speaker 1: Gordon the tenth round and Edelman and the eleven. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's good value. It's good guys worth this guess al
Speaker 1: heard you guys talking about Chris Godwin earlier. Yes, um,
Speaker 1: there is Kenny Golladay on the waiverware. I was just
Speaker 1: wondering should I drop him to pick up Galliday or no?
Speaker 1: Did you drop Godwin for Golladay. You said I got
Speaker 1: uh Golliday for so I would I would drop Godwin
Speaker 1: and pick up Day in PPR, I Godwin in the
Speaker 1: fifteen round. In PPR, I'd rather keep Godwin. If this
Speaker 1: was a standard and not PPR where touchdowns matter more,
Speaker 1: I think I'd take the shot on Kenny Golladay the
Speaker 1: reasons I mentioned. He's going to be a force in
Speaker 1: the red zone. But I think there's more of a
Speaker 1: chance that Chris Godwin is the possession receiver for this team.
Speaker 1: I'll keep him in PPR. Lladay I disagree. I guess
Speaker 1: I said before on the Gallandy guy. I think there's
Speaker 1: just so many mouths to feed in Tampa. And I
Speaker 1: didn't even mention Adam hum Freeze. I know, not a thing,
Speaker 1: but like that's another guy that could just steal receptions
Speaker 1: away from Chris Godwin. I think I'd rather have Goala
Speaker 1: Day than Godwin. Hey, and I understand why this is close,
Speaker 1: and I understand why there's a debate, and I understand
Speaker 1: why Jake has a decision to make. I think you
Speaker 1: have a good god man. I think there's a chance
Speaker 1: that to Sean Jackson at this point of his career
Speaker 1: just comes in for certain places, certain packages. Isn't a
Speaker 1: full time player ADP has fallen dramatically as well, it is,
Speaker 1: and I think rightfully so, I think there's a chance
Speaker 1: that Chris Godwin and Mike Evans are consistently the starting
Speaker 1: wide receivers for this team and PPR I'll take Godwin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's fair. I think it's completely fair. Evan
Speaker 1: sill will just ask a question on Twitter, um D Johnson,
Speaker 1: who I have zero shares that I don't want any
Speaker 1: shares of. He has zero receptions about the way this
Speaker 1: preseason zero. It's preseason, just saying, man, there's a lot
Speaker 1: do you like? Do Johnson? Still depends what you're getting
Speaker 1: in for. I think he's a fine bye week replacement
Speaker 1: running back. You can take him in best ball because
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a few games where he
Speaker 1: pops off, where he has a ton of receptions in
Speaker 1: a single game, and obviously whatever games he scores a touchdown,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be worthy of being flex option for best Ball.
Speaker 1: But I think trying to predict when Duke Johnson is
Speaker 1: going to go off this year on a week tweek
Speaker 1: basis possible pretty hard to figure out. Well, look, Josh Gordon,
Speaker 1: if you know, if he's not healthy at times, maybe
Speaker 1: they start to use Duke Johnson more in the slot again. Uh.
Speaker 1: And they've already talked up Jarvis Slandry how they're gonna
Speaker 1: use him on the outside. So I think he's fine
Speaker 1: as an RB five and PPR as a bye week
Speaker 1: replacement or just take him in best Ball for those
Speaker 1: weeks that he Betty pops off. All Right, there you go.
Speaker 1: That's gonna do it for us here today on The
Speaker 1: Fantasy best Friends Forever. Uh, good show. We appreciate the college.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you watching obviously, Uh, the Fantasy football frenzy
