00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: Greetings, and welcome to the NFL Fantasy Live Official Draft

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: Kit Podcast. Jason Smith alongside Michael Fabiano and Elliot Harrison.

3
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: Over the next hour, we're gonna take you through everything

4
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: as far as we see it right now to get

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: you ready for your fantasy season. Our mantra is start early,

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: draft better. We'll give you sleepers, deep sleepers, guys to avoid,

7
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: and already had our first mock draft and saw some

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: eye opening things. We're all ready to go. We're doing

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: Fantasy three seven. In fact, Michael Fabiano, you haven't slept

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: in a month and a half getting ready for the

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: Draft Kit launch. Yeah, I'm telling you something right now.

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: I could really use some rest, But uh, I think

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: I got about an hour or so in me before

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: I hit the old naptime. You do you give us

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: an hour? I think we got an hour, all right? Well,

16
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: remember I was up at about quarter to five. This

17
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: is more well, actually was up at four. I was

18
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: here a quarter to five to do NFL am And

19
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, Harrison knows, I'm I'm running on fumes here

20
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: at uh almost three o'clock Pacific. That's why you recommended

21
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: to to draft Danny White. I saw that this morning

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: on the show. Hey, listen, you know what if Danny

23
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: White we're out there, I take him. I was a

24
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: big fan of Danny White. He's part of the reason

25
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: why I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan. Wait wait, wait, fake

26
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is here as well. Were you high on

27
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: Danny White when he played quarterback for the Cowboys? We

28
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: cut his uh, but in mid season four him already

29
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: I got forty eight I got forty eight minutes in

30
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: me had a bad Hamburger the other night, So I'm

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: just I'm just uh. You know, all right, you're gonna

32
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: guard Tim Duncan if you got a full forty eight minutes.

33
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: Any that's what we're gonna have, alright, alright, what everybody

34
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: wants to know. Everybody wants no sleepers, deep sleepers. Let's

35
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: kick things off that way, Fabs, give me three sleepers

36
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: off your listening. The draft get available right now NFL

37
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: dot com slash Fantasy or NFL dot com slash Draft Kit.

38
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: Either one will take you to all our stuff sleepers.

39
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: Everybody wants, fabs. Who do you got. I'm gonna go

40
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: with three running backs. The first one is Lamar Miller,

41
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: who I've been talking about all off season the number

42
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: one guy in Miami. And I love the lineage of

43
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: Miamia floor to running backs like that. All right, jeez, Harrison,

44
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: I do have a he was giving you accomplised, but

45
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: it's a backhanded count for Harrison. It's like him saying, well,

46
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: you actually used a big word. That's exactly what I heard.

47
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: So anyways, yeah, exactly. Guys like Edgar and James and

48
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: Clinton Portis and Frank Gore, Willis mcgahey, and I think

49
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: this kid could be in line to be the next

50
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: of the great Miami fluid running backs to put up

51
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: very good fantasy numbers. I also like Levian Bell, the

52
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: kid in Pittsburgh coming out of Michigan STAD. He's a

53
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: good fit for that offense that Todd Haley is gonna run.

54
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: He can catch the ball out of the backfield. He's

55
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: a bruiser. And I don't see a lot of competition

56
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: there with Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer. I think those

57
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: guys proved last year they're not number one running backs

58
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: at the NFL level. And another running back, David Wilson

59
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: in New York had average about five yards of carry

60
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,399
Speaker 1: as a rookie didn't see a lot of time. Mod

61
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: Bradshaw's gone. I think he'll share some of the workload

62
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: short yardage, goal line with Andre Brown. But overall, Wilson

63
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: is a guy who I think can rush for at

64
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: thousand yards and eight touchdowns this and if you're in

65
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: a return league, it's extrallent extra valuable to have David

66
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: Wilson if he's back their returning kicks. I saw you

67
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: saw what he did against the Saints last year. Kind

68
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: of like t Y Hilton, nest t Y Hilton was

69
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: decent fantasy receiver last year, but he gave you a

70
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: lot in the return game. I'm just gonna back in

71
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: FAB some of Fab's running backs with a couple of

72
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: my own. You have a lineage of running backs you

73
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: can give us well, I I don't know, but I

74
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: have fantasy running back pants. Okay, we have more. Laura

75
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: lineage is pretty good. I like that from paying d

76
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: watch Game of Thrones. You know, I actually did watch

77
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones the other night. Oh my god, how

78
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: about the last three minutes. It's like the bloodiest three

79
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: minutes in television history. But it wasn't even realistic. If

80
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: you cut someone's throat like that, it's gonna spray all

81
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: over the place, not go dripping down your neck. Well,

82
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: it's what are you kiddling? At the end, it's sprayed

83
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: all the way out the two people of that. It

84
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: was just dripping down there. I almost tweeted you, Jason

85
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: because the kid or one of the guys, because I

86
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: don't watch the show from actually the kid we have like, hey,

87
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: that's the kid who played the drup. That's my least

88
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: favorite subplot to love actually, the one the Liam Neeson

89
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: father son relationship. That's probably my least favorite of the

90
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: little stories. They fall but we digress too much, So

91
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: I've got fabs, I got Daryl Richardson. H Stephen Jackson's

92
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: not there anymore. Last year, Isaiah Pete was supposed to

93
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: be the guy in St. Louis if it wasn't Jackson,

94
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: and Darryl Richardson just flat out beat him out. Had

95
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: a great preseason. He's explosive. I think he's gonna have

96
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: an opportunity to be the number one back whatever that

97
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: is in the n number. Pete is suspended for the

98
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: first game exactly so, exactly so the Rams certainly can't

99
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: be high on Pete. Outside of Richardson, I think you

100
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: can roll the dice in Rochardmanten Hall. Obviously, it's something

101
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: that you're gonna need to watch. We're in early June

102
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: right now. But Richard ment In Hall is a guy

103
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: that I think that Bruce Arians likes to have one

104
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: back and he wants to use one back all the time.

105
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: And Richard Menton Hall if he can win, he played

106
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: under Arians that when Arians was offensive coordinator in Pittsburgh.

107
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: That's another guy would look at again. Obviously, with any

108
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: running back that we name, or any position, you have

109
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: to follow the news. You never know when a guy

110
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: is gonna turn his ankle. You never know when a

111
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: team is really high on a player. I heard really

112
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: good reports, for example about Greg little Uh from the Browns.

113
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: You know, if you're not paying attention, you're gonna miss

114
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: little things like that. So I'm saying in early June,

115
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: I like looking out for these guys. Yeah see, I'm

116
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: thinking long term. I actually like Ryan Williams and I

117
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: think more than here was the signing for Mendenhall to

118
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: let's one year and see how good he is. I

119
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: think this was, Hey, let's see just in case Ryan

120
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: Williams doesn't bounce back yet. Two injuries he's coming back from.

121
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: He says, thank god it didn't come back last year

122
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: because I wasn't ready. I wasn't fully ready for my

123
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: first injury, so that getting injured was a blessing and

124
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: mine is horrible. Yeah, and now and now they have

125
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: a better offensive line, so it could be either way.

126
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: But you're right, it is. It is June, so you

127
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: gotta take you gotta take this and follow the news.

128
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: I like Andre Brown. I know you mentioned Brown a

129
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: little bit FABS only because the Giants, you could see,

130
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: they go to him exclusively, and they're gonna go to

131
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: him exclusively when they get inside the ten yard line.

132
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: They'll give him the ball three straight times. On my Bradshaw,

133
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: as much of a an okay fantasy running back as

134
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: he was, was still in the top ten with zone

135
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: goal to go uh touches last carries last year, so

136
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna inherit those. So I think, well,

137
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: Wilson gets the headlines, he's gonna get the touchdowns. I

138
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: really like ja Quiz Rogers. I like him and Danny

139
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: woodhead both. I think both these guys have the potential

140
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: for yards, rushing five hundred yards, receiving seven to nine touchdowns.

141
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: The charges, no, they can't trust Bryan Matthews. And we've

142
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: seen that already woodheads, and he already was a top

143
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: twenty five running back last year anyway, But what had

144
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: doesn't get that that sort of attention that the other

145
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: guys get. And I think Rogers is kind of like

146
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: a young Darren Sprawls. I think he's gonna get better

147
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: and better. I'm not a big believer in Steven Jackson

148
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: suddenly rediscovering the fountain of youth. Is statistics have declined

149
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: the last few years. So I see both of these

150
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: guys is five, five hundred seven and nine touchdowns and guys,

151
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: you could play as your flex over the course of

152
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: the season. And you know, I guess we should remind

153
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: people that if you go to NFL dot com Backslider

154
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: Forward Slash draft Kit, you can pull up all of

155
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: our rankings, all of our sleepers, and uh, you can

156
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: see where FABS and I write concisely, and Jason writes

157
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: the old Man in the Sea, so actually the Old

158
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: Man and C is kind of a concise. He can

159
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: also sign up on NFL dot com right now Uh,

160
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: mock drafts are not open yet, but they will be

161
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: open at some point in June. So, uh, it's coming

162
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: up very quickly here, guys. I mean, I can't believe

163
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: it's June already. Where's the off season? That's amazing to

164
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: back in your point on jo Quiz Rogers, because I

165
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: like that one. The cool thing with him is he

166
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: can hide behind the line. He is so difficult to

167
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: see back there, and that's a little bit like Sprowls.

168
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,239
Speaker 1: And if he can develop what Sprawls has that ability

169
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: to run that little swing route, catch a ball, secure

170
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: the catch, and make the move. And that's what Sprawls

171
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: has done so well. How many times, Jason do you

172
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: see it? We're running back is so worried about making

173
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: the move, he doesn't secure the catch and you have

174
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: you get no play out of it. Sprawls always he

175
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: looks the ball in his hands, he makes the catch,

176
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: and he trusts his quickness to still be able to

177
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: make a move and make that first guy miss. And

178
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: if Rogers can develop that, he could be a true sleeper.

179
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: You know what I like about Rogers. He's five six

180
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: two inches shorter than me, so that means you're under

181
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: achieving not you could be a Bell Cown running back cow. Well,

182
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: a bell calf fiveturing that scene when he was feeding

183
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: the calf with the bottle. Rogers is no Bell cow.

184
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: But uh, I actually maybe have a little bit more

185
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: faith than Steven Jackson than you do. I man, the

186
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: guys rushed for over a thousand yards in eighth trade seasons, Uh,

187
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: behind questionable offensive lines at times, with very little support

188
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: from the passing game, with very few opportunities to score

189
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: touchdowns inside the red zone. Now he's going to get him. Remember,

190
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: in five years in Atlanta, Michael Turner didn't score any

191
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: fewer than ten rushing touchdowns and I think Jackson could

192
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: get at least eight this year out of the back field. Well,

193
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: and you know, Michael Turner was never known as a

194
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: pass catcher. Steven Jackson exactly. It has excellent hands. He's

195
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: caught a lot of balls. To believe, Steven Jackson caught

196
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: ninety balls one year. I think it's two thousand six. Yeah,

197
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: I get it. But if you've caught ninety balls in

198
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: an NFL season, you have good hands. Sorry, you're running back.

199
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: He catch that many passes. Steven Jackson is a more

200
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: complete back than Michael Turner. So even FABS, if he

201
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: doesn't get to that tin touchdown level, he might make

202
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: up for particularly in the PPR. Alright, so those are

203
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: our sleepers. Again. We have everything on our draft kit

204
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: right now NFL dot com Slash Fantasy or NFL dot

205
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 1: com Slash Draft Kit. Sleepers, bus, breakouts, bargains, strategies are

206
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: mock draft is coming up in a bit. Let's go

207
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: deep sleepers now, guys, you know these are guys that

208
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: you expect to get in the eighth rounder later when

209
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: you're looking for something a diamond or rough. You're trying

210
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: to make a stab. Your draft isn't going as well

211
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: as you wanted to. You gotta phil Holes, Elliot Harrison,

212
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: give me a couple of deep sleepers from you. You

213
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: would go to me first? Why not? Because you know

214
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: here I am, I figured you. I figured you had

215
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: you had a U words that I figured you had

216
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: a quota of of deep sleep Like the fact that

217
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: Smith now knows the definition, because I remember having to

218
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: define all this stuff for you guys. You like, I know,

219
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: I got six categories. I don't know who to put

220
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: a where, what the heck is in the difference between

221
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: a what's I don't know what a deep Yes, I

222
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: said that I don't know what a deep sleeper is. Yes,

223
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: you just said Smith, No, No, that's on any of

224
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: your list. That's all you said, Like Chris everything, and

225
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: it kills you a dozen. The Jets are still gonna sting.

226
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: I just like that you went to me first, because

227
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: your computer is like quiz Rodgers minds like Jim Klein saucer.

228
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: This thing moves like you know. Cleer had some fantasy

229
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: valuable about two seconds in Minnesota. Now, deep sleeper, sleeper.

230
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: The line can get a little murky. I have lady

231
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: on Bells a deep sleeper based on where I think

232
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: he's going to go in the draft. But that could

233
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: change if we keep hearing that he's gonna be the

234
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: number one guy in Pittsburgh. He's not going to be

235
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: a deep sleeper. When I wrote this, I looked at

236
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: him as a deep sleeper. Uh jeeo Bernard top running

237
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: back to go on in the draft. Ben Jarvis green

238
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: ellis is what he is. He's no great shakes. We've

239
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: seen the prime of his career. This is what there.

240
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any more upside to law firm.

241
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: I think this is what he's going to be in

242
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 1: his ceiling in New England. Yeah. Uh, And I'm not

243
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 1: saying he's a bad player, but I think Jio Bernard

244
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: has a tremendous amount of upside, So all things being even,

245
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: he'll end up being the guy that that could potentially

246
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: get a lot more carries. And then you've got Monte

247
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: Ball in Denver. Uh. You know, no, Sean Marino there

248
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: reportedly being very careful with him. Uh. And again with

249
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: deep sleepers. Look, it's guys that you're gonna be taking

250
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: in the twelfth round. Again, Bell may end up going

251
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: way before that. But if you're taking guys in the

252
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: twelfth round, thirteenth round, you're rolling the dice. You know,

253
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: you're not expecting these guys to necessarily be a thousand

254
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: yard back. You're hoping that they're gonna be somebody that

255
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: can maybe start three or four games for you. Yeah,

256
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: it's a it's a bye week guy. It's someone that

257
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: if you get an injury in the position, you can

258
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: plug him in because you never know. Yeah, think these

259
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: are the guys you're going for. I mean, obviously everybody

260
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: wants to say, Okay, I want to get a guy

261
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: in the twelfth round who is going to turn into

262
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: a superstar for me. But that doesn't happen all the time.

263
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: You're looking at guys, Okay, who's not gonna kill me,

264
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: Who's gonna give me that added up that I can

265
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: get that Bryce Brown, that's what you're hoping for without

266
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: the fumble, without the fumbles. But what Bryce Brown gave

267
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: you last Year's like, Wow, I got some quality starts

268
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: here when I wasn't expecting it. I think FABS is

269
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: actually in a league where it was a fumbles only

270
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: league and he had Bryce Brown and he won the league.

271
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: Stop it isn't that right? Yeah? And Mark Sanchez was

272
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: my quarterback for butt fumbles? What what did you get

273
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: for the fumbled snap when Tennessee was trying to hand

274
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: them the game? Uh? Did you get away that lead? Well,

275
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: Shane Verene is a guy that I really like. And

276
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 1: you talked about Danny wood Head being the top running

277
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: back last year and standard in PPR league as well.

278
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: Now it's going to be Verene who inherits a lot

279
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: of those touches in that New England backfield. And I've

280
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: seen him come off the board, passed around ten. You know,

281
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: he is not a guy that people are looking at

282
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: in the first eight or nine rounds. So Shane Vereen

283
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: a guy who, uh, don't confuse him with Ben Vereen.

284
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: It's Shane Vereen. This is a kid who can catch

285
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: the ball in the backfield. Showed a little bit of

286
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: upside at the end of last season in the playoffs

287
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. So there's one player at the target.

288
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: Another one Emmanuel Sanders in Pittsburgh looks like he's going

289
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: to start opposite Antonio Brown. Mike Wallace is now in

290
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: South Florida, and Emmanuel Sanders has always had issues with injuries,

291
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: especially his feet. If he could stay healthy, I could

292
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: see this kid going for a hundred yards five or

293
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: six touchdowns somewhere in that range. And another guy that

294
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: I really like who doesn't get a lot of talk,

295
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: but Jordan Cameron in Cleveland. Now Robin Zinski has come

296
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: over and is the head coach there now, and Chud

297
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: is the guy who helped Greg Olsen really have his

298
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: best statistical season last year in Carolina. They really like Cameron. Remember,

299
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: Ben Watson is no longer in the mix. He's gone.

300
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: He's in New Orleans and Cameron's a really athletic guy,

301
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: good hands, pass catching type of player, and in that offense,

302
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: which should be much improved under one Norville Turner, Cameron

303
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: could catch forty or fifty passes. I always liked Alan

304
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: Thick better than Cameron. Yeah, stop it, But would you

305
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: like better Kirk Cameron or Candice Cameron? I don't remember

306
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: can Cameron she was in full house. She's married to

307
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: Valerie Burry, the former hockey player. I have a very's

308
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: little brother. Well, I just you know, I figured you

309
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: brought up again. No, you know, it's funny you mentioned

310
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 1: Rob Chatzinski. Who hasn't he helped his great this year?

311
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: Let me think about It's finally took him this long

312
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: to become a head coach. He made Derek Anderson a

313
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: pro bowler. Cam Newton became a fantasy stud under Chatzinski.

314
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: You know, Steve Smith had had a big reseurgence to

315
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: his career. Here's Greg Olsen and now here he is.

316
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe he could do it, but he's got

317
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: a great track record to do that. Yeah, and again,

318
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: you know, the tight end position is so full of

319
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: question marks this year, especially after what happened last season

320
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: at that position. What a mess that a guy like

321
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: Jordan Cameron could be worth a late run flyer and

322
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: become a viable matchup based starterer who knows maybe even

323
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: the top fifteen tight end. You know, and I like

324
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: vereen too because not only he's gonna inherit those those carries,

325
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: but you saw that Stephen Ridley wore down towards the

326
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: end of the year. Do you think, Okay, no big deal.

327
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: But he puts the football on the ground, and that

328
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: is something Bill Belichick is not going to have any

329
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: patience for this year. If he comes out. I know

330
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: we're saying playing the if gamer, but you're talking about

331
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: deep sleepers. But if he comes out and he puts

332
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: the ball in the ground a couple of times the

333
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: first two three weeks, Shane Veren's gonna come in and

334
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be his job, and there's no wood En

335
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: in there anymore. As you mention and playing in San Diego.

336
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: FABS got a question for you as a Cowboys guy,

337
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: Michael Flaviato. By the way, it's just put up all

338
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: kinds of pictures of Ben verena does draft him? It's

339
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: Shane Verene. Okay, you went to Google and you put

340
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: you typed in ben Vereen and there's four full lines

341
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: of pictures of ben Vereen and one of Fred Willard. Yeah,

342
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean I don't know how that happen. He

343
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: kind of like in this picture he kind of looks

344
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: like Marshall Falk like as an older guy. Okay, a

345
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: little bit, Yeah, he does a little bit. I'll give

346
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: you a little bit, Marshall ful Okay, a little bit.

347
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: All right, go ahead, alright, go ahead. What's going on? Harrison?

348
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: You know you've done this show for what this is

349
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: the third year. Now we go off in all kinds

350
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: of different direction, but usually you're pulling up pictures of chicks,

351
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: not ben Verene. Anyway. By the way he had to

352
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: get rid of Kate Upton out of his Google circuit

353
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: is no, you dated her sister, So you're done. You

354
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: didn't you date her sister? No? I did not. That

355
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: was your baired Oh do you'r a Baird sister? Yes? Okay,

356
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: I thought it was Kate Upton sister. Of God, I

357
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: wish I met her sister. She worked for the Jets.

358
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: One of my best friends back home, Bill is a

359
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: huge Jets fan, and when they were completing the stadium.

360
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: We got a tour. Uh. They were given early turst

361
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: to people who were you know, potentially season ticket holders,

362
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. And we just got in there

363
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: because I had a connection and uh, I didn't even

364
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: know it. It was Kate Upton's sister, Christie. I believe it.

365
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: Really nice, really attractive, Harrison, right up your alley, right

366
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: up my alley, and um, really sweet. She actually just

367
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: got married. I I saw. I was like looking at

368
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: Twitter and Kate Upton had posted a picture of her

369
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: sister being, you know, in the wedding, and so I

370
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: sent a message to Kate hoping she would say something

371
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: back to me, and said, oh, your sister is a sweetheart.

372
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: She gave me a tour of the Jets stadium. Want

373
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: my buddy, blah blah. I didn't get a response, Harrison.

374
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: See if I had the mug that you got, maybe

375
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: I would have got a response. I write the song.

376
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: But you know, one a major goal I think for

377
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: our our fantasy podcast on Serious is to have more

378
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: We need more female callers. There's a lot of what

379
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: you stop, kid, you meet somebody outside of work, would

380
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: you call him down? Go to one of those website,

381
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: go to match dot com, go to nerve, don't whatever

382
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: dot com. We meet people. We have information that that

383
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: says that ten percent of all fantasy players are female.

384
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: And you know, I think a lot of them don't

385
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: don't call in and don't ask questions. And I'm just

386
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: saying that I think they should shouldn't be scared. Get

387
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: in there, Get in there, twins on this season, for sure,

388
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: we should has a couple. We should have a separate

389
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: podcast where we get ten women who are fantasy football

390
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: players and it's like The Bachelor and Elliott picks one

391
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: and each week he narrows it down. Maybe it's the

392
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: one week is what what's our theme this week? This

393
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: week our theme is football players of the eighties, And

394
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: you give them all quizzes and the one that passes,

395
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, you eliminate me. Know what's said is that

396
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: I bet you if you actually put together a good pitch,

397
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: Bravo or Spike would pick that up in a New

398
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: York manager. Yeah No, I just mean that's the that's

399
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: the kind of idea that's running these days. But I

400
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: want to ask you fab serious question. As a as

401
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: a Cowboys fan, follow the team very closely. Joseph Rando

402
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: I had in my deep Sleepers, and I did not.

403
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to circle back to check back if any

404
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: of us are colleagues also had him. But the reason

405
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: I put him is to morn read mine. I have

406
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: him right here. I'm looking at his name right here.

407
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: I did not, like I said, I didn't circle back.

408
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: I attention to me at all. I didn't circle back

409
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,479
Speaker 1: to anybody's Steve Sleepers. We want to circle back. I'm

410
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: telling you it's right there. But Joseph Rando, you know,

411
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray has proven Jason to be a good back

412
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: and also proven to be unavailable. And what's the player's

413
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: best ability his availability? You know what all I needed

414
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: was for Jerry Jones to hear him say he envisions

415
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: a time share with DeMarco Murray and Joseph Randol. And look,

416
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: Murray's been, he's been when he's on the field, he's

417
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: been good. But you know what, he doesn't score touchdowns,

418
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: which is which is number one thing, which is a

419
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: big deal. Which is what Randall's gonna do because he's

420
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: got the size to run inside. So on the gold line,

421
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: I can see him getting the football. I would rather wait.

422
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: De Marco Murray is gonna be someone that comes off

423
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: the board late second round, early third round, somewhere around there.

424
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: I'd rather wait, take Joseph Randall late, take a different player.

425
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: I got misquoted on that. I was trying to mend

426
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: fences with rat lift, so offered him my time share

427
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: down in Cabo, and the reporters misquoted me. Was that

428
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: up on your draft boards? Everybody got to fake Jerry Jones?

429
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: Was that up on there? Let's not talk about the

430
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: covers anyway. I'm still soured over there as I'm looking

431
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: at fabs, depressed faith over the FABS high on him,

432
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: not high, We're high on him, high on him well

433
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: worth a late round for deep sleeper category because the

434
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: guy ahead of him on the depth chart is injury

435
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: prone and Randall's dealing with a thumb injury. Should be back.

436
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: And Felix no longer resides in Dallas now he's in Philadelphia.

437
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: Another big mistake by Jerry Jones drafting him. All right,

438
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: let me throw a couple of quarterbacks at check. I

439
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: got deep sleeper wise Sam Bradford number one. Finally, I

440
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: mean it's been for the last few years it's been

441
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: Bradford has always come on the end of the year,

442
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: but he's never had weapons. Now finally he's got weapons.

443
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: The running game is in the hands of Richardson, a

444
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: little bit of Pete. They got Tavon Austin and can

445
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: be a mismatched guy in the slot. Finally, it seems

446
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: like the Rams have things going forward where we're taking

447
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: advantage of our number one overall pick and giving him

448
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: help on the outside. So I like Bradford a lot,

449
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: and I like Ryan Tannehill. I didn't like him at

450
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: all last year, but seeing what he did a year ago,

451
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: had a couple of three hundred yard games, he was

452
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: much better than I thought. Now you're adding Mike Wallace,

453
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,959
Speaker 1: you're adding Brandon Gibson, Dustin Keller, Lamar Miller's taken over

454
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 1: the running game. So this is gonna be suddenly a

455
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: potent offense. And don't forget he had over two hundred

456
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: yards rushing last year, ran for a couple of touchdowns.

457
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna run for two hundred

458
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: yards year, but he's someone that can get in the

459
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: end zone, can run a couple of bootlegs getting the

460
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: end zone. I think Tannehill and Bradford are two of

461
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: those deep sleeper number two future quarterbacks where if something happened,

462
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: he to flip your starter. You know, one of these

463
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: guys could turn into something for you this year. Yeah,

464
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of points on both of those

465
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: guys will start with Tannehill. What hurt you in fantasy

466
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: if you had Tannehell sitting on your bench or if

467
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: you're in a deeper league fourteen team league had some

468
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: injuries whatnot, as he wasn't getting you the touchdowns. That

469
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: was the problem. And this year hopefully maybe Mike Walace.

470
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: If Mike Wallace is a twelve touchdown guy, then you're

471
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: doing great. The problem with with Tannehill isn't necessarily yardage

472
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: or the mobility. He's just got to throw scoring passes.

473
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: That's something he didn't do. Regarding Sam Bradford, the only

474
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: problem I have with Sam Bradford, Jason, is they are

475
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: relying on young players. I mean that you're relying on

476
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin to basically fill a role that Danny am

477
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: Mondola filled very well, even though I am adult did

478
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: get hurt a lot. They picked steadmand Bailey, who a

479
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: lot of people. It's Austin's teammate. Uh and he's married

480
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: to Oprah, isn't he Smith? Wow? What when am I

481
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 1: gonna make it to start? Come on, I'm married to Oprah.

482
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: That's that's that's a big joke. I'm just saying that

483
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: that Steadmand Bailey was a guy that a lot of

484
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: people liked as their third round pick who could end

485
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: up playing very quickly. He was a teammate of Tavon

486
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: Austin's at West Virginia. The problem is is that when

487
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: you're playing and Brian Quick by the way, who's also

488
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: only a second year player, you don't really have have

489
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: that veteran guy that that you can say, oh man,

490
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: this is where the Rams are going. Jed just about

491
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 1: to say Jared Cook is probably their best option in

492
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: that sense. What do you like better, Tannehill or Bradford?

493
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: I like Bradford better. Tannehill has got better weapons around him.

494
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: He's probably got a better looking wife, right, Harrison. But

495
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: Tannehill I need to see more from him, I really do.

496
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: And another thing to remember two guys is that the

497
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: position is so ridiculously deep that he won't even be

498
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: drafted in most leagues. I mean, you're talking about Tannehill

499
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: being what the twenty quarterback in Fantasy fall right now.

500
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: He's not even gonna be drafted in most leagues. So

501
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: you can sort of sit back and wait and see

502
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: what happens with him as the season goes, because you're

503
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: going to have two good quarterbacks. You could have Matt

504
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: Ryan and Michael Vick on your roster. You could have

505
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: Tony Romo and Matthew Stafford on your roster. You have

506
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: in our Mick draft Robert River in the third and

507
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: Tony Romo. So Tannehill is someone to watch for sure,

508
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: but not to draft definitely. You know. I think it's

509
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: a real interesting commentary on the season and how spoiled

510
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: we were. Just the other day, I was on the radio,

511
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: was talking about how Vikings safety Harrison Smith had a

512
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: great rookie year and a lot of people didn't even notice.

513
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: When you have rookies like Andrew Luck and r G three,

514
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, and then Russell Wilson coming on like he did,

515
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: you expect a guy like Ryan Tannehill to be awesome.

516
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill had a nice rookie season, but not nice enough.

517
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: As Fab says, it's so the position is so deep,

518
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: and it's even a little bit of an anomaly because

519
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: when are we ever going to see a season like

520
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: we had last year with three rookie quarterbacks performed that well,

521
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: not only reality but fantasy. I remember we said that

522
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: a year ago, no one's ever gonna have a year

523
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: like Cam Newton rookie quarterback coming nobody had, So that's

524
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: why we based our our thoughts on the past. And

525
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: now the league being more quarterback driven, guys are coming

526
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: in and they have to play right. There has been

527
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: like there's been like that gradual trend of it. You know,

528
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: you saw like starting with like Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan,

529
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: and then Cam Newton came along and had a really

530
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: good year and then boy, four guys last season. We're

531
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: just fantastic career or four guys. So that's what the

532
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: league has become. But does that also mean that guys

533
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: who don't put in good numbers as rookies, well maybe

534
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: the learning curve is a little bit bigger for them.

535
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: Tannehill's numbers is compared to Russell Wilson, compared to Andrew Luck,

536
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: compared to r G three, Boy, they were hey, just

537
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: paled in comparison, We're gonna have some rookies coming up.

538
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,479
Speaker 1: But remember sleepers, deep sleepers. Who are our breakouts? Who

539
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: are our draft bargains, What strategies do we like to use?

540
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: All of it on NFL dot com slash Fantasy or

541
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash Draft Kit. Now we're gonna get

542
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: into our draft. As I said, we had our first

543
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: mock draft here at NFL Fantasy Live. A lot of

544
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: twists and turns, some things that stood out that really

545
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: stand out again, you want the results, NFL dot Com

546
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: Slash Fantasy, NFL dot Com Slash Draft Kick. Let's start

547
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: with number one. Overall, this is gonna be a debate

548
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: that people are gonna have from now to be getting

549
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: a training camp. Arian Foster Adrian Peterson. You could really

550
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: just flip a coin because both these guys are great,

551
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: but you gotta pick one. And you know what has

552
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: one of the new features we have this year, Fantasy

553
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 1: points allowed, might help you put one guy in that

554
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: number one spot and the other guy in the number

555
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: two spot. Yeah, this one, to me, guys, is a

556
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: real toss up, And people on Twitter have been telling

557
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: me that I'm insane because I'm sticking with Arian Foster.

558
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: Arian Foster, I don't know if you guys know this

559
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: or not, but last year he scored more fantasy points

560
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: than he had ever scored in a single season before.

561
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: But Peterson was so good that everyone was all over him,

562
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: and boy, that guys a cyborg coming off of a

563
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: major knee reconstruction and has almost one one already rushing

564
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: yards and just had a fantastic season. But Foster had

565
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: a really good season as well, and he's been the

566
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: better running back for the last three years combined. If

567
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: you look at the average fantasy point scored. Arian also

568
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: has the second easiest schedule among running backs based on

569
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: Fantasy it's Adrian Peterson as a second and Adrian Peterson's

570
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: matchup proof. But again, Foster has got some really very

571
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: good matchups coming up. So the one issue I have

572
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: right now is the calf. We have to see what

573
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: happens with this calf injury that he's sustaining in O

574
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: t s. As long as there's no stetbacks and he's

575
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: he's back in time for training camp, Foster's number one.

576
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: He's done nothing, nothing to deter me. And even if

577
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: you think about a little bit further. And you guys

578
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: know how I always talk about be where the magical season.

579
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: I know Peterson is great, but two thousand yards again,

580
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: let me give you a stat. You love stats. You

581
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: love stats, maybe not as much as me, well maybe

582
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: Harrison does. But the running back to rush for two

583
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: thousand yards? Who had the next best seas the best

584
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: season the following year was go ahead? I know you

585
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: know it. I like how you pointed me. What if

586
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: I actually didn't know this one? Would you be? How

587
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: disappointed would you saw the smile? I know you know it.

588
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: How disappointed would you mean? I just want to know

589
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be disappointed? And you think, just tell me

590
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: who it is. You think that I'm gonna go Eric Kerson,

591
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: but I'm I'm not not. I'm not going to Aeron Pickerson.

592
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: If I had to go Davis because may to it's

593
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: not O. J. Simpson had a had an average nineteen

594
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: seventy four campaign. The I would say, and it's not

595
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson. I would say it's Barry Sanders. He rushed

596
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: for just under yards. He is the only running back

597
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: to reach that level of success one year removed from

598
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,479
Speaker 1: a two thousand yards season Chris Johnson's numbers went down,

599
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: Jamal Lewis's numbers went down, Dickerson's you know went down

600
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: as well. Uh, still had a very good season, and

601
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: Peterson could still have a very good season rushing for

602
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred yards, but he's still losing right off the bat.

603
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: That's forty fantasy points. So that's why I like Foster

604
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: a little bit better. He's been more consistent. And another

605
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: thing that I found interesting was before two thousand and twelve,

606
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: Peterson's fantasy points had dropped in three straight seasons, had dropped.

607
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: He has always sort of dealt with Nicks, you know,

608
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: bumps and Bruis has missed a couple of games here there,

609
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: and uh, he can't go wrong either way. But to me,

610
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: the number one pick right now is Arian Foster barring

611
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: a setback with this calf. Well, it's Foster for me too,

612
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 1: And you kind of hit on it with FBA Fantasy

613
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: points allowed with like I said, is something new on

614
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: the site this year. You get to see how players

615
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: are performing. Do they have an easy schedule in fantasy?

616
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: They have a difficult schedule in fantasy? And that does

617
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: it for me because yeah, because Elliott Adrian Peterson his

618
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: matchup proof. So the fact he has the second toughest

619
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: schedule of any running back. All right, I don't really

620
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: care about that so much, but the fact that Arian

621
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: Foster has the second easiest schedule for any running back,

622
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: that's something that makes him I'm taking him number one.

623
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: I like both the points that you guys are making.

624
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: I was leaning Peterson, and I think I've changed my

625
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: mind Arian Foster. And the reason why is I don't

626
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: see really any way that that fosters not relied on

627
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: in that offense. Andre Johnson is not getting better at

628
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: this point. Andre Johnson is going into his eleventh season. Okay,

629
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is the kid they got to play the

630
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: other side. He's a rookie. We all know that rookie

631
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: wide receivers generally struggle in the NFL. Is probably the

632
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: hardest position to adjust to from college ball to to

633
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: being a rookie the NFL. Meanwhile, the Vikings, they can't

634
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: possibly be as big as one trick pony as they

635
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: were last year. They went out and signed Greg Jennings.

636
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph is now a little bit more seasoned. They

637
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: just drafted a wide receiver in the first round Patterson,

638
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: So Christian Ponder is probably gonna be a little bit better. Guys,

639
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: So what are the chances the Vikings need Adrian Peterson

640
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: to run for two thousand yards? And and look at

641
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: the numbers, as Jason was mentioning for f p A,

642
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: Arian Foster is going to be playing ten games against

643
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: teams that allowed seventeen and more fantasy points to running

644
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: backs last year, and that's both home and road. He

645
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: also has six games against teams that gave up an

646
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: average of more than twenty points per game to running back.

647
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: So he's got a very very enticing schedule. And again,

648
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: this could all change the calf injury becomes an issue. Well,

649
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: you know what, Adrian Peterson becomes the number one guy.

650
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: Foster probably drops and stays somewhere in the top five.

651
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: But at this point, Arian Foster is is the number

652
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: one pick in my opinion. I guarantee you, though Peterson

653
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: is probably gonna go in more drafts ahead of and

654
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: faster than not Jason, I think it's gonna be Foster.

655
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: I think right now, right now it's tough because you hear, oh,

656
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: we're not going to see him till then, But there's

657
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: a long way between now and for a lot of things.

658
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: For Rob Gronkowski, there's a long way between now and August,

659
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: for for everybody that's been For Trent Richardson, there's a

660
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: long way to be between now and August. So unless

661
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: we hear something that develops, you know, horribly over the

662
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: next few months, I'm sticking with that. Well, I've got

663
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: a little trivia for you, for both of you, guys.

664
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: I know a lot of our listeners love numbers. We

665
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: just talked about. FABS just said, what's the who's the

666
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: guy that had the most yards rushing after a two

667
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: thousand yards season? Can you guys tell me what running

668
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: back holds a record for most yards combined over two

669
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: seasons three thousand nine, just two consecutive seasons, back to back,

670
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: to consecutive seasons, back to back, three thousand Well you would, Well,

671
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't necessarily have to be a guy who rushed

672
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: for two thousand yards, because but if Barry Standers went

673
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: two thousand, fifteen hundred, allays gotta do is catch four

674
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: hundred yards and passes for two seasons. We're talking rushing yards,

675
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: just rushing rushing yards. Yeah, So so Sanders would have

676
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: had about thirty five and you're saying, how six this

677
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: guy had over thirty nine hundred yards Terrell Davis. No,

678
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: Terrell Davis went down down the toilet after that two

679
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: thousand yards. But don't forget the seasons before the two

680
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: thousand yards season? Uh? Is that a hint? Is that

681
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: a hint? This guy, Jamal Lewis, This guy was one

682
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: of the best rookies in the history of the NFL.

683
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: Eric Eric Dickerson eighteen o eight three. I'm not looking

684
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: at the computer, but I'm I'm pretty sure. How about that, guys,

685
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: How what if that happened in today's world? In fantasy

686
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: our computers would blow up three thousand, nine hundred thirteen

687
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: yards from scrimmage. That guy ran right, he was like Gazelle.

688
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: Oh he would he? You know? Terrell Pryor kind of

689
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: runs like Eric Dickerson. He seems like he's not going anywhere,

690
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: and Dion Sanders the same way. Guys just seemed like

691
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: they're really not moving. And guys the other guys look

692
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,479
Speaker 1: like they're in mud. No. I agreed, and there's been

693
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: very few backs that have run that way. Eddie George

694
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: a little bit, Chris Warren, Uh, the old Seahawk was

695
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 1: a guy pledge of the Cowboys ran that way all right. Well,

696
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: speaking of running backs, and our expert draft, Arian Foster

697
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: did go number one overall. Adrian Peterson went number two.

698
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: But the quarterbacks is what everybody's interested in. And here's

699
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,719
Speaker 1: some of the stuff we saw. Again, this is our

700
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: expert draft. All this right now. You can get it

701
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: NFL dot com Slash Fantasy or NFL dot com Slash

702
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: Draft Kit. Take a look at our mock draft results

703
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: and these are the quarterbacks that were available sixth round

704
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: or later. Here's who went in the sixth round. Cam

705
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: Newton and Russell Wilson went as the final picks of

706
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: the sixth round. Seventh round, r G three went. Now

707
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: with me, now graty, Yes, you took RG three. Now

708
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: granted RG three in the seventh round, likely because of

709
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: his injury situation. He'll move up if he gets healthier

710
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: closer to training camp, but still r G three in

711
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: the seventh round. Then you look in the eighth round,

712
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: Tony Romo goes, you took quarterbacks as in you don't

713
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: know how he's gonna be. And then you get to

714
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: the ninth round, and here's Michael Fabiano with Matt Ryan

715
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: in round nine and Matthew Stafford, who went from a

716
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: first round pick a year ago in the eleventh round,

717
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: a guy that through seven hundred passes last year. He

718
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: was in the eleventh round with the third picks. Getting

719
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: into backups, you're getting into Michael Stafford bar at the

720
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: Admiral Fantasy Owners And you know what, I tried to

721
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: get two wrapped up into this. You have to base

722
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: value off of the previous season to a point, but

723
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: people get two wrapped up into what a guy just did,

724
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: especially if that guy doesn't have some sort of pedigree.

725
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: So remember Donovan McNabb was on the show with us

726
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: and he said, Matthew Stafford is not gonna have a

727
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: good season. See but I think Stafford he almost threw

728
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: for five thousand yards last year. Even if he has

729
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: say five or six more touchdown passes, which is not

730
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: out of the Rouman possibility, he had only twenty or

731
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: twenty one last season after having that's right, I mean

732
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: that's a touchdown past. That's an increase twenty twenty four points. Uh.

733
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: From a fantasy perspective, I wouldn't mind it all going

734
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: into a season with Matthew Staffords and my number one

735
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 1: quarterback because you know what it would mean. I'd have

736
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: a young quarterback who's gonna throw for right around five

737
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: thousand yards, who has twenty five touchdown potential on the

738
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,919
Speaker 1: low end, and the rest of my team is gonna

739
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: be well. And look, you know Stafford, they are their

740
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: number two wide receivers. Guys just went down last year.

741
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: I mean Nate Burlison went down, Titus Young, Bryan. They're breaking,

742
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 1: they're banking on. They said they liked the fact that Bro.

743
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: They didn't add anybody, which tells you what they think

744
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: of the guys isn't coming off al or else is

745
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: coming back off injury. Yeah. I saw Nate at the draft.

746
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: He was he says he feels great. Uh, you know,

747
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: and then they're tight end. Pedigrew did not have a

748
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: very good season. You know, we do we we do

749
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: batching Mike during the season. I assume we're gonna bring

750
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: that back. Sure, but if we don't, i'd I'm gonna

751
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: throw out a matching. My question, Okay, to you two guys,

752
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: between these three, how do you rank them? Romo, Ryan Stafford?

753
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: What order do you take him? Ryan Romo Stafford. I'll

754
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in the bounce back yere and

755
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: I will go Stafford, Romo, Ryan, Wow Ryan last interesting

756
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: why Ryan first for you? Because of the weapons he

757
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,479
Speaker 1: has in the offense, gonzalas Is back, Julio Jones, Roddy

758
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: White uh, an improved passing game which should also help

759
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, improved running game which should also help him

760
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: in the passing game because as we mentioned, Stephen Jackson

761
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: is a very prolific pass catcher. So I don't see

762
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: any reason why Matt Matt Ryan shouldn't have as good

763
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: a season UH in two thousand thirteen as he had

764
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: last year. So Jason, you were saying, I believe that

765
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan went in the ninth round. Right in our

766
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 1: mom draft, Romo went in the eighth round. I remember

767
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: trying to decide between Romo and Ryan and eighth round.

768
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: I just Romo has the easiest schedule among core backs

769
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: this year, based only, and that's that when I looked

770
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: at the schedules, that's what pushed me over the top.

771
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: You you jumped me there, But I'd be honestly if

772
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: if I could go in and stack the rest of

773
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: my team and you could guarantee me that I'll have

774
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: one of those guys as my quarterback. I can get,

775
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: but you will. That's look, that's what happened. Can we tell? Okay,

776
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: but you talk about a top in a in a

777
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: ten team league, A couple of these guys are gonna

778
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: be backups if you're going ten team league, because because

779
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: right now, Stafford Ryan Romo are right around. Yeah, you

780
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: think Ryan will last to the ninth round average, he

781
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: didn't see. Here's the thing with the way that we

782
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: draft and the way that the average fantasy fan drafts

783
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 1: is going to be two different things because quarterbacks sooner, right,

784
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,240
Speaker 1: which you shouldn't do. So I was in an expert's

785
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: league draft probably a month ago. Do you know that

786
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers went in the fifth round and he was

787
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: the first quarterback taken fifth round. I almost took him there,

788
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: and you guys know I don't like to take quarterbacks

789
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,040
Speaker 1: in the first five rounds, and I ended up I

790
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: can't remember if I ended up with Romo in the

791
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: ninth or tenth round. I don't remember exactly the complete

792
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: make out of that team, but I was shocked. But

793
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: that's what happens in these experts leave, it's not gonna

794
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: be the same thing in uh, you know in the

795
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: leagues where people are just out there having fun with

796
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: their three quarterbacks in the round. You would think so,

797
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: and you'll see eight quarterbacks come off the board in

798
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: the first, you know, three to four rounds. Not the

799
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: way we would draft. But what you need to do

800
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: is sort of watch with the flow of the draft

801
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: and it does, and then that will dictate what you're

802
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,919
Speaker 1: gonna do. So if I'm in one of these things

803
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: where quarterbacks are gonna go, and I know I'll be

804
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:34,919
Speaker 1: in one of them because I'm gonna legal my friends

805
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: and family back home, and they jump on quarterbacks, well

806
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 1: then maybe I'm not gonna be able to wait till

807
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: round nine to grab Matt Ryan or Tony Romo. But

808
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna wait as long as I can. Yeah,

809
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: And you know, that's something I wrote about about how

810
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: following the herd is kind of what you have to

811
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: do in fantasy football. It doesn't pay to be a

812
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: guy that says, well, I have a strategy that's going

813
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: to pay off, because the thing is is that like

814
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: being an expert's leak. You know how much I like

815
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: taking a guy like Aaron Rodgers as early as I

816
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: can effect when he was on the board in the

817
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: third round, and I'm saying to myself, going, boy, I

818
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: just went Doug Martin m j D. And if I

819
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: could go Doug Martin, m j D and then Aaron

820
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers is right there, I'm gonna take him. But Aaron

821
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: Rodgers went to pick before me, so I'm like, all right,

822
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about that. So then I

823
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: made a move. I took Randall Cobb in the third round.

824
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: But if you're in a league where you know everybody's

825
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: loading up on running backs in the first round, you

826
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: have to get a running back because you could say, well,

827
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: everybody's getting running back, I'm gonna get Aaron Rodgers. Yeah,

828
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: but your next best running back is gonna be Steven Jackson,

829
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: you know, or it score, it's gonna be somebody, or

830
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be de Marco Murray is gonna be the

831
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 1: guy you're gonna get in the second round because they're

832
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: all gonna be gone. And so you tell me, what's

833
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: a better situation if you go in the first round

834
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: and take Doug Martin and then you know you come

835
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: back later on with Stafford or Romo, or if you

836
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: get Aaron Rodgers but your best running back turns out

837
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: to be, you know, to Marco Murray. I mean, you're

838
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: not very happy with that and you're running back. Or

839
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: you could be in a situation where I'll take a

840
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: quarterback first. I don't like the running backs, so I'll

841
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: take Julio Jones in the second round. Then your first

842
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: running back turns into Gonna. I'm gonna gamble on Kenny Chesney.

843
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna gamble. You will hate yourself if you don't

844
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: draft a running back in the first round, and you

845
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: will hate yourself if you take a quarterback in one

846
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: of the first four to five rons. I'm telling you,

847
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: unless were in one of these crazy leagues where you

848
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: start two qbs, or the scoring system really favors the

849
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: signal callers, or your friends just all our quarterback crazy,

850
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: just say no to the quarterback, my friends. Do you

851
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: ever feel like we're all drafting in like the SEC?

852
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know how all those teams beat up

853
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: and I mean, you know, like you just it's hard

854
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: to get an advantage in our draft, you know, because

855
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: we're all thinking the same thing. Although I had to

856
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: tell you, Jason. I was in a in a mock

857
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: draft with with FABS and I was we were sharing

858
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: his computer. I had to physically there was an intervention.

859
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: That is when I'm basically going to fantasy intervention. I

860
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: had to put my hand on Fab's risk and pull

861
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: it off the mouse. He was about to take Nick

862
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: Novak over Aaron Rodgers. It was like Fab, get it,

863
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: get you know, but it it because I know how

864
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: highly he values kickers and defenses. Yes, first two are

865
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: always kickers in defense. Oh way, But I had a

866
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: stat Now I can't remember what it is exactly, but

867
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna find it. And this, this will give you.

868
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: This will give you an idea of Okay, we make

869
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: fun of kickers. Kickers can help you win, Kickers can

870
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: help some defenses. Give me give me Harrison the top

871
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 1: four rookies based on Fantasy Points last year. Give me

872
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: the top four. Oh boy, give me the top four

873
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: r G three based on Fantasy Points. Yeah, r G

874
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: three is one of them. Number one is Robert Griffin. Yeah, okay,

875
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: I don't give it. I think Blair Walsh was one

876
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: of them. That's where I'm going with this. That's where

877
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to three. Doug Martin was to Blair Walsh

878
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: three or Blair wad Morris al for Morris's three. Okay,

879
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: then you had Trent Richardson was four number five. I thought,

880
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 1: I thought, well, hey, he had more Fantasy points than

881
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: any rookie wide receiver, any rookie tight end, you know,

882
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: any five d yard field goals. Now, now we're not

883
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: including Remember we're not including quarterbacks, so you know, because

884
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: those that position is going to score more points regardless

885
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: because of the nature of it. But if you're taking

886
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: if you take the quarterbacks out, running backs through kickers,

887
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: Blair Walsh, that didn't ten fifty yard fields. We thought

888
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: it was gonna be greg'sirline. The first six weeks that

889
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: were great. Then the ramp stop scoring. Walsh had ten

890
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: fifty plush yarders and seven from forty or high. That

891
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: that's amazing, amazing. Legatron's run lasted about as long as

892
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: what was that spin off show of Friends with the Guy, Oh,

893
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: Joey Joe with Drea da Matteo. I think that's Oh.

894
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: By the way, I started getting into arrested development because

895
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: everyone is yeah, you know, I'm I'm I don't always lay,

896
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: but stop it. No, that's mistake, very very funny show

903
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: I just go by what I see on the television. Yeah.

904
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how we got to arrest of development,

905
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: but I know it's absolutely okay. I would like to

906
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: press you guys on a on a topic. You' you're

Speaker 1: We did podcast the old cover two. The defenses? What

910
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: give me an under the radar defense that that fantasy

911
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: owners should take in the one of the last two rounds?

912
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: That's not one of the obvious ones? Well, obvious sleeper defense?

913
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: Do we consider Cincinnatia sleeper? What about Arizona? I think

914
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: Arizona is a sleeper. I wouldn't consider as the Patriots

915
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: have been good. Yeah, but in that tough division. Now,

916
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: everybody scores points about Tampa Bay is interesting. Well do

917
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: you do you believe in them? I'm throwing out you

918
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: can't get a good response from Jason Smith because they

919
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: took the best player the Jets ever had. Alright, alright,

920
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: I'll do you one that won't happen. About the Miami Dolphins.

921
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 1: I know you like them because I read your column. Yes,

922
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 1: I know you like them. I do know that they

923
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: picked up dannelle lerb right Grimes right at the cornerback.

924
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: So and who did they draft third overall? Dion Jordan's

925
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: do you think? Boy? They keep in mind you know

926
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: who's on the other side standing up, that's boom or bust.

927
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: It's boom or bust. But when you've got Cameron Wake

928
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: standing on the other side of the way as an

929
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: i DP machine, Yeah, he's a teeth one of your

930
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: top three. He's well he has a Jets fan. You're

931
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: probably sick because I've seen Karen Wait just destroy the

932
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: Jets almost by himself. That's all right, Mohammed Wilkerson is

933
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 1: gonna be an i DP machine to the show. I

934
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: wasn't bagging on the Jets under staying you've seen Cameron

935
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: Waite first hand as a Jets fan, and how good

936
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: uh that guy is. I want to throw out one

937
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: other defense out here, just real quick defense by the way,

938
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: fourteenth round. So you talked about defense is going. The

939
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: last couple of mount defense in our mock draft went

940
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: in the fourth round. That's where that's where they should go.

941
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: But there's always gonna be people who say in the

942
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: eighth round, all I'm gonna go get the best. I'm

943
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: gonna take the Bears defense in the eighth round. But

944
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: the Bear defense is not gonna But what I'm saying

945
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 1: is you're gonna get people in your draft. People are

946
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: gonna start taking someone's gonna take a defense in the

947
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: eighth round, and then someone's gonna take one in the

948
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: ninth round, and a couple people take them to the

949
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: tenth length round. No one is gonna wait till You

950
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: should wait to the end because you're gonna wind up

951
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: changing your defense and kicker all the time. You're gonna

952
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: play match up with your defenses. But they're gonna white

953
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 1: to take a kicker with their last pick has some

954
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: issues and they're probably not gonna do to well in

955
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,720
Speaker 1: their fantasy league. And the same thing goes to the defense. Obviously,

956
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of scoring systems, so who knows. But

957
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: if you're in a standard league, a very traditional league,

958
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: just wait, just wait, play the matchups unless you get

959
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: like last year, I got the Bears, and obviously I'm

960
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: playing them just about every week. But play the matchups

961
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: against these teams. There's there's gonna be some bad offenses

962
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: out there, Harrison, like the Jaguars, like the Cardinals last year.

963
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: Dear Lord, with all those awful quarterbacks they had. Any

964
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: defense you played against Arizona is putting up points? Well,

965
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 1: who is your other defense? I'd like to say. I

966
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: think the Dallas Cowboys could be good. They had eight

967
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: starters go down to injury last year. They're switching to

968
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: a four three. They have Monty Kiffen and their defensive

969
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: line coaches Rod Marinelle, who oh, by the way, spearheaded

970
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 1: fantasy's best defense. Since I don't know when fabs, when's

971
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 1: the last time a defense scored two with the Bears

972
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: did last year or something like that. The Cowboys are

973
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: gonna have Sean Lee back healthy, playing middle linebacker, Bruce carterback,

974
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: Anthony Spencer, DeMarcus Ware as pass rushers on the end,

975
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: if they can get any kind of safety play, you know,

976
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: by the way, uh, Morris Clayborn and Brandon Carr, two

977
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: pretty good corners will be healthy. What does that Tampa

978
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: two defense do? They let you complete passes sometimes in

979
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: front of them. Okay, but they create fumbles, they create turnovers,

980
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: and they at sacks and that's fantasy points. And Dallas

981
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: can stay healthy. I think they sneak in that top ten.

982
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: All right. One other thing one and again, all this

983
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: stuff NFL dot com slash Fantasy, NFL dot com slash

Speaker 1: everything so you can see all our draft kit content.

988
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: One other thing that I think is is kind of

989
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: the needs to be pointed out here is that remember,

990
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: you know, even ten years ago, when you would set

991
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: your draft, it would be, oh, this is gonna be awesome.

992
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: The whole morning, we're gonna go and meet, We're gonna

993
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: go and have breakfast. Draft is gonna be three and

994
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: a half hours. It's gonna be great. Two years ago,

995
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: and that's where we are now with computers and how

996
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: and how fast things are with all the website, especially

997
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: NFL dot com. Two years ago, your fantasy draft probably

998
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 1: came in in about an hour and a half, which

999
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: is okay, that's pretty good. Last year, our draft we

1000
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: did came into an average here at NFL Network came

1001
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: into average an hour and ten minutes. This mock draft

1002
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: we just did. Now this is in June, when there's

1003
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: son questions out there and you have a lot of

1004
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 1: things going one other way or the other. This draft

1005
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: came in in fifty one minutes. So fifty one minutes.

1006
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: That means if you're picking fifteen players, you're picking once

1007
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: every three minutes. Gone are the days where it's well,

1008
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 1: all right, we made our pick at number two, We

1009
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: got a long time to wait and see when it

1010
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 1: comes back to us. You're picking again in three minutes,

1011
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: and guys are coming off the board real fast. You

1012
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: try to keep up with it. This is why you

1013
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: really have to pref earlier, because you're gonna be taken

1014
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 1: by if you If you say I'll do my normal

1015
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 1: prep and I'll come in and suddenly it's well, what

1016
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: am I do Suddenly I have a minute to make

1017
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: a pick, and I don't know who just went and

1018
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened up here, and what do

1019
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: I take? A running back now wide receiver? Because you

1020
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: have to be ready, because it's it'll be forty five

1021
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: minutes next to your forty minutes the year after that,

1022
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: because that's how fastiest picks. You started questioning yourself, like

1023
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: when did Willie Galt retire? One of the one of

1024
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: the things that I hear people complaining about the most

1025
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: who don't play fantasy football is that they don't have

1026
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: enough time. This proves to you that you don't need

1027
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: that much time to play fantasy football. You can't take

1028
00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: an hour less out of your day to do a

1029
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: draft and a few minutes, you know, three times a

1030
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: week to set your line up, putting your waiver claims

1031
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Then what you really got to

1032
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: be a very busy person. This brings up another topic

1033
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,879
Speaker 1: that's very relatable to the draft, and we haven't touched

1034
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 1: on it at all. Uh, the fun of the auction draft.

1035
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: We did a mock auction draft last year, we will

1036
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: be doing another one. Really enjoyed it. Uh, what do

1037
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: you like about the auction draft as opposed to just,

1038
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: you know, the regular typical draft that we do. My

1039
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:31,800
Speaker 1: favorite part is that I can I can bank, I

1040
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: can bet with myself and see if I'm right, because

1041
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: all what I do is I like to write down

1042
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: a group of players who I want to target, who

1043
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,439
Speaker 1: I think with the varying money you're gonna spend, these

1044
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: are my guys that I believe are gonna have big seasons.

1045
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: And whereas in a regular draft you're gonna miss out

1046
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 1: on most of them because other people are gonna take them.

1047
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 1: You can sit and wait and say, you know what,

1048
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: I don't need to bid on on a guy, right

1049
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 1: because I want to wait and bid on this guy.

1050
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: So I'll have like ten or eleven guys that I

1051
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: think you're gonna have breakthrough bust out seasons, and I

1052
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: like to take them. And then obviously you're betting on yourself,

1053
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 1: and you see if I'm right with these guys breaking through.

1054
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: So that's my favorite part is that I can really

1055
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 1: target the guys I want I want to have on

1056
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: my team, Because I could say I really want to

1057
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: get Tori Smith, but I think he's gonna have a

1058
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 1: breakout year. Is the only guy catching passes. Dennis Pitt

1059
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: will be the number two. And he had kind of

1060
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: a breakout last year a little bit. And now you

1061
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: can say, well, I don't have to worry about someone

1062
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,399
Speaker 1: taking him in the sixth round. Now I can wait

1063
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: and maybe get him for five dollars seven dollars. How

1064
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:24,479
Speaker 1: much am I gonna go to get him? I gonna

1065
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: go to eight dollars nine dollars. There's so much more

1066
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: strategy when you do that. Last year, we had our

1067
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 1: mock draft and we did um we did it this way,

1068
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: and I was gambling that at the end, I'm gonna

1069
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: get Matt Ryan. I'm gonna save my money to get

1070
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. So I said, I got enough money to

1071
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: say from Matt Ryan, I'm good. I got eleven dollars left.

1072
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 1: I said, eleven dollars Matt Ryan. Chocy over, here goes

1073
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: twelve dollars Matt Ryan. So he wanted with Matt Ryan

1074
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:48,800
Speaker 1: as his quarterback. Matt Ryan had a huge year, and

1075
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: you know, he's had a little bit more money left

1076
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: than I did to be able to get him. The

1077
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: best thing about it is that everyone is available to

1078
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 1: you if you're willing to spend money, you can get

1079
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: whoever you really want in terms of your top players,

1080
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: so and it it is ont of fun too. And

1081
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: the best part about it, aside from the fact that

1082
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 1: everyone's available, is that I love like the end of

1083
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: an auction when I've got a whole stack of fake

1084
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 1: cash and everyone else is down to ten dollars and

1085
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: a big name gets nominated and I know that I

1086
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: got more money than everybody and I'm getting them. I

1087
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: love that. I absolutely love it. What I think is

1088
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:28,320
Speaker 1: interesting real quick is that you build a roster in

1089
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,399
Speaker 1: an auction draft, and it may look like a really

1090
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: good roster through and through, but you can't play all

1091
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: those guys. So just because you're consistently good, well, you

1092
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 1: gotta remember those guys are sitting. So sometimes it is

1093
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 1: good to maybe even overbid on two big studs because

1094
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: if they stay healthy, you're gonna win. And the guy

1095
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: that has the best roster roster all the way through

1096
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: is gonna lose because he can't play all those guys.

1097
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: He's sitting him on the bench every week. So there's

1098
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,440

Speaker 1: course our NFL Fantasy Live show which runs all through

1108
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: the football season. Now, everybody wants to know about rookies, alright,

1109
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: not a lot of breakthrough rookies. Rookies that we saw.

1110
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: Some of them, we kind of like some of them.

1111
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: We feel you couldn't do better. FABS, give me your

1112
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: number one fantasy rookie right now. The guy thinks gonna

1113
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 1: have the biggest impact this season. Somebody I mentioned earlier,

1114
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: Levian Bell. Perfect situation, uh in Pittsburgh where they're going

1115
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: to run the football, and he is deceivingly good as

1116
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: a pass catcher just by his size. Right now, he

1117
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: is the top rookie. And remember who is the number

1118
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: one rookie taken in this draft? Right Harrison. I know

1119
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: you know the answer. Well, the number one running back

1120
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: rookie is Joe Bernard. That's exactly what I meant um.

1121
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 1: And typically if you look at recent history over the

1122
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 1: last five years, typically that first running back drafted is

1123
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: not the best running back in fantasy. Well, Bernard's not

1124
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: gonna be the best running back in fantasy. It could

1125
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: be Levian Bell. And this is a guy that again

1126
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 1: I really really like he's in a great situation to succeed.

1127
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 1: But so is Monte Ball assuming Willis mcgahey is on

1128
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: the outs in Denver, and Eddie Lacey as well. But

1129
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:27,720
Speaker 1: Bell is my guy right now. Well, you better lookout

1130
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: for Jonathan Franklin there in Green Bay. It may not

1131
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: be uh Lacey, but I have We've had different opinions

1132
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 1: on the show. Not on this one. I'm I'm with FABS.

1133
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 1: I think it's leaving on Bell. Steelers did a running

1134
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 1: back by committee last year. It worked out sometimes, other

1135
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: times it didn't. They had protection problems, which means that

1136
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: you know, obviously you gotta make the defense think, you know,

1137
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: otherwise they're just meeting at the quarterback Mike Wallace is gone,

1138
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: Heath Miller is coming. Off an injury, so that Pittsburgh

1139
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: passing game is now relying on Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders.

1140
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: And then the other thing is the Steelers spent a

1141
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 1: very high pick, well first round pick, on David DeCastro,

1142
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:03,879
Speaker 1: the guard out of Stanford last year he got hurt.

1143
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: You get a good quality guard back, you can run

1144
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: the football. And I think Pittsburgh is gonna do that.

1145
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: And I could easily see Levian Bill having a thousand

1146
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: yards season as a rookie. All right, I'm going to

1147
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: a FC East. I'm going a very high profile rookie.

1148
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm going Geno Smith. Now I'm not going

1149
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: Geno Smith. I really like Robert Woods. I mean, I

1150
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: know some of the you know these running back situations.

1151
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 1: Well yeah, in fact, we get reminded of a thousand

1152
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: times a day here at NFL Network because everybody that

1153
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: we went to, we work with W Harrison. Has there

1154
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,800
Speaker 1: ever been a USC wide receiver not named Keishawn Johnson?

1155
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: Who is, by the way, now, you know chasing Justin

1156
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: bieber run. I hope he catches him too in pizza

1157
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 1: and that little brat. But anyways, uh, he's he's the

1158
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: real thing. I mean, Mike Williams and Mike Williams thing

1159
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: was he he's Louise. They they huge disappointments at the

1160
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,399
Speaker 1: wide receiver position once they got to the NF. Remember

1161
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: we talked about last year Boise State hasn't had anybody

1162
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: coming to the NFL. Well, what are you talking about?

1163
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 1: Nobody coming in? You have a trend of USC wide

1164
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 1: receivers not doing well at the NFL was having no

1165
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: players coming in and play. Well, how good has that

1166
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: school been like for the last couple of years? Very good?

1167
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 1: Before that, man, there were nothing but coming in. You're

1168
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: just ticked because you got the hold Doug Martin thing wrong.

1169
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 1: We should have somebody if you think twelve I mean

1170
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: twelve catches and a hundred and sixty seven yards in

1171
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,919
Speaker 1: the season is quality. Therefore r J. Sourd is really

1172
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 1: somebody that would I get into those trends. Is the

1173
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 1: same thing as Notre Dame offensive skill position players. They

1174
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: all stink when they get to the NFL, at least

1175
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: most of them. He's He's the real thing. This guy.

1176
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 1: He wound up seeing his draft stock drop. He had

1177
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,799
Speaker 1: a bit of an ankle injury. And of course Marquise Hill,

1178
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: who went Nuts opposite him. He's going to be a

1179
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: first round pick this year in the NFL. But he

1180
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,359
Speaker 1: was everything. He dominates defenses. He can go up very

1181
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: aggressive in traffic and catch passes. This guy something. Stevie

1182
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:06,919
Speaker 1: Johnson's moving to the slot because you know what, Steve

1183
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: Johnson is after Robert Woods ahead of Bell Ball. No,

1184
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: because I can get Robert Woods late. I can get

1185
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 1: Robert Woods late, I can I can draft Eddie Lacy

1186
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:19,800
Speaker 1: the fact that I think he's gonna be the best taking,

1187
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: but I can take him later because Woods Overast. That's close.

1188
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 1: That's close. I'll tell you to me. That is and

1189
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: not even that's close. Well, you know what, I can't

1190
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 1: get Tavon Austin as late as I can get Robert Woods.

1191
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: I can get Robert Woods. No one else wants. I'm

1192
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: telling you, dude. The Bills picked him in the second round,

1193
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 1: and nobody's talking about the DJ man in the first round,

1194
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: and everything you hear about that guy is raw and project. Well, hey,

1195
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:47,879
Speaker 1: we heard raw on Project about a lot of guys.

1196
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 1: They turned out to be pretty good. Jason, you were

1197
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 1: Tommy Bradford's friend Ernie. He worked at the Cluck and

1198
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: Shuck and Tom Bradford's friend from him. He always kind

1199
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 1: of secretly hoped that first of all, Larney would cut

1200
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 1: that kind of Bruce Jenner hair. He actually looked he

1201
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,359
Speaker 1: he actually looked like Apollo and Battlestar Galactic a little

1202
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 1: bit with his hair do. He drove a purple man,

1203
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: I think. And he couldn't and he couldn't get a

1204
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:10,800
Speaker 1: better job than the cluck and chuck. That's like USC

1205
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: wide receivers. You always hope, you know, you sit there,

1206
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 1: you hope, and you hope. I'm trying to talk to

1207
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: your right here as we finish up the podcast. Who

1208
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:22,760
Speaker 1: are you taking first, Apollo or Starbuck in a Battlestar

1209
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: galact in the league. Can I tell you something? I've

1210
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: never once watched that, and I have no idea what

1211
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 1: you know. I'll tell you know who Starbuck is because

1212
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:30,840
Speaker 1: you were a huge a team kid, weren't you know?
