14
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: for having me today. I'm pumped to talk some Chargers here.

15
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: They got some firepower in the Oh my gosh, it's

16
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: fantasy firepower. Man. I want to get into the Chargers,

17
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: but first, this is an important week for fantasy owners.

18
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: That third preseason game. You see a little bit more

19
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: game planning this weekend and maybe you get some further

20
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: insights on guys to help you in drafts. What are

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: some of the storylines and who are some of the

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: guys that you're gonna have eyes on this weekend. Yeah, man,

23
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: I think the biggest story of this preseason is I'm

24
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: calling it the year the rookie running back. We got

25
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: this deep draft class at running back and we got

26
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: guys like Joe Mixon, Dalvin Cook, Christian McCaffrey, Leonard Fournette

27
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: who's injured right now, but they've all kind of made

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: waves in the preseason. They all look really good. They're

29
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: all going pretty highly in fantasy draft. So we already

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: saw McCaffrey last night. He was pretty involved there in

31
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: the Carolina the game. But I think people should be

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: watching out for Dalvin Cook because he's kind of he's

33
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: one of the rookie backs that's going like the latest

34
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: in drafts. You can probably get him in like the

35
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: fourth round, and he's kind of plugged in there in

36
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: a high volume role more so than the other guys

37
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: I mentioned. They all kind of have to work their

38
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: way up the depth chart, if you will. So I

39
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: really like Dalvin Cook in the fourth, fifth round if

40
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: you can get him there. Yeah, I love Cook and

41
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: you who else is kind of Sneaky's that Kareem Hunt

42
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: from Kansas City. He had a he had a nice

43
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: game last week, and I think he's kind of nippet

44
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: at Spencer wears Heals two. Hunt. Definitely do not sleep

45
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: on Kareem Hunt. I don't like Spencer wear at his

46
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 1: draft now. He's going maybe like fifth or sixth round,

47
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: which is a little too rich for me considering that

48
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: Hunt's kind of breathing down his neck there. So we'll

49
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: see what happens. Let's get into the Chargers, Matt, Like

50
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: you said, a ton of fantasy firepower here. A lot

51
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: of guys who are going to be big contributors on

52
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: fantasy teams this season. But let's start with the first

53
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: guy who's probably gonna come off the board. Melvin Gordon.

54
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: You know year one, no touchdowns, twelve total touchdowns last year,

55
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: and he has a run oriented head coach, and Anthony Lynn.

56
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: We knew what he did with the Buffalo Bills last year.

57
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: And Shady McCoy and Gillislee. He's going about that mid

58
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: to late first round. What are your thoughts on him

59
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: and where he's going? I love him there, I'll take

60
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 1: him late first round all day. He's definitely a first

61
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: round pick. Last year saw him kind of forced into

62
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: a high volume role when Danny Woodhead went out in

63
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: the second second week there, and he kind of thrived

64
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: even as a pass catcher, which I don't think people

65
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: saw it coming. He had forty one receptions on the season,

66
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: and yeah, he missed the last three games of the

67
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: season there, kind of burned some people in the fantasy playoffs.

68
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: But I mean, two hundred and fifty four carries, like

69
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna get another high volume workload. I think when

70
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: it comes to these late first round guys, you can

71
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: kind of flip a coin between guys like Melvin Gordon,

72
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: DeVonta Freeman, and Lashawan McCoy. So when it falls to you,

73
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: you know, fantasy is all about having fun, So if

74
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: you like one of these guys over the other one,

75
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: you know, take the guy you like to root for

76
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: or whatever. But I mean, I think I think Melvin

77
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: Gordon's gonna be a beast this year. Yeah. I was

78
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: just gonna say, after David Johnson Levey on Bell, especially

79
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: with that Zeke suspension, it's kind of that there's kind

80
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: of like that group of like five or six guys

81
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: that you mentioned met that you know, like whether it's

82
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: Freeman McCoy or Gordon or DeMarco Murray, a Jaye Howard

83
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: of that group, who do you like the most after

84
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: those first two? And obviously if you've planned to take Zeke,

85
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: you're probably taking him, you know, late second, early third. Yeah. Yeah,

86
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: My My RB three in my rankings is Jayagi right now.

87
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: He saw I'm think pretty sure he scored two touchdowns

88
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: in the preseason game against the Eagles, so that was

89
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: nice to see. Um. I think a GI, you know,

90
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: he didn't really get a featured workload until I think

91
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: Week five last year when Arian Foster went out, and

92
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: he's still had over two hundred carries. He got work

93
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: in the passing game, and if he starts, he's going

94
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: to start out of the gate in Week one. He's

95
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: gonna even have even more volume this year. So I

96
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: don't see I don't see any regression coming there for

97
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: a GI. People point to, oh, he only had two

98
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: two big two hundred yard games or whatever, like most

99
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: of his fantasy points came in those games. But I

100
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: think that you can throw that out the window. They

101
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: had trouble in the offensive line last year. I think

102
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: with Jay Cutler at quarterback, it just makes that entire

103
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: offense more powerful. And I think Jayagi is my RBS

104
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: three after and Johnson, Yeah, I like him too, especially

105
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: when you got guys like DeVante Parker on the outside

106
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: that I think is going to take kind of that

107
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: mixed step in twenty seventeen. You have some weapons on

108
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: the outside, I think we'll open it up a little

109
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: bit for a Jie Matt. I want to get to

110
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen because last year he was being drafted as

111
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: a top ten wide receiver and I just I can't

112
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: get that first half against the Kansas City Chiefs out

113
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: of my head. How he was just he had like

114
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: six receptions in the first half. He was just rolling

115
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs had that unfortunate injury, and now you're starting

116
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: to see him around being like a top fifteen receiver,

117
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, being drafted maybe like in the late third,

118
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: early fourth. What's your thoughts on Keenan Allen this year,

119
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: because I'll tell you what, if I can get him

120
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: as my wide receiver too, I think I'm all in

121
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: with that. You know, I love me from Keenan Allen

122
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: this year Man, you're right. I think people so many

123
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: people were burned by that Week one injury last year,

124
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: they don't they're scared to invest, which you know, I

125
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: understand that concern. He also had an injury two years

126
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: ago that lacerated kidney that kind of kept him out.

127
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: So he's kind of unlucky with these injuries. I don't

128
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: think he's necessarily injury throne from one of them. Seeing online,

129
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: he's been just dominant in training camp. He's been awesome.

130
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: I think he could push. Yeah, I think he could

131
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: push for the league, league and targets as long as

132
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: he stays healthy. Man, if you can get him as

133
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: your wide receiver two in the fourth round, I'll take

134
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: that all day long. I love him to be a

135
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: beast this year. Yeah. You see some of the receivers

136
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: that are going before him, Franchise, de Andre Hopkins. I'm

137
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: not so of that quarterback situation to Mary's Thomas. Yeah,

138
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: Trevor Simmons, Okay, but I mean even t Y Hilton.

139
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: You know, with with Andrew Luck, the uncertainty there. I

140
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: just feel like with Philip Rivers, especially under center, and

141
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen having that entire twenty sixteen to rehab. I

142
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,119
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be ready to rock yo. I agree

143
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: with you, man, I would I'm staying away from Hilt

144
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: and I'm staying away from Hopkins like and the fact

145
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: that people are scared of Alan because of these injury

146
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: issues from last year and whatever like that just makes

147
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: it that makes him more attractive at his current values.

148
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: So maybe you go get yourself on running back in

149
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: the third round and target Keenan Allen in the early

150
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: fourth round and not really have to worry about your

151
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver two position because you're gonna be getting a

152
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: guy like Alan with that volume upside there in the

153
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: fourth round and you'll be set all right. Tight End franchise,

154
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,559
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry, in my opinion, I think this guy has

155
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: the potential to be a top five tight end this season.

156
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: He had fifty three targets last year, eight touchdowns. That's

157
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: my hot take today that I'm feeling good about Hunter

158
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: Henry this year. But again, fifty three targets, he had

159
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns, and even with Antonio Gates sharing some of

160
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: that load, especially in the red zone, I just I

161
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: have a feeling that Hunter Henry is going to take

162
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: a gigantic leap in twenty seventeen. I'm curious your thoughts. Yeah,

163
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: he's being drafted as a tight end one. I think

164
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: he's being drafted as like the tense tight end off

165
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: the board, So if you're in a ten team league,

166
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: that's a tight end one. I think he's gonna see

167
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: his targets increase. He said he had like fifty one

168
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: last year. I'm pretty sure Antonio Gates had something like

169
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: ninety or more targets last year, so that should come down.

170
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: You know, there's talk about there's talk about the Chargers

171
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: wanting to get an Antonio Gates that touchdown record there,

172
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: so I think they're gonna focus on that early. But

173
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: he only won if I'm not mistaken there. But I

174
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: think I think as long as Gates is kind of

175
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: on the field, Henry's ceiling and fantasy might be a

176
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: little cat, but I think he still takes a step

177
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: forward this year. You know, he did great things Like

178
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: rookie tight ends don't usually break out like that, so

179
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: that was a surprise and a good sign for his future.

180
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: I'll take him at his value. Maybe he's going like eight,

181
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: maybe eighth or ninth round as a tight end, so

182
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: if he can improve on that, maybe score ten touchdowns

183
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, I like him as I don't know.

184
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would call him a top

185
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: five tight end, but a top ten I'm I'm I'm

186
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: on board with Yeah, I think the potential. I think

187
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: the caveat is into your point. There's a lot of

188
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: mouths to feed on this Charger's office too. When you

189
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: talk about Keenan coming back, and we didn't even talk

190
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about Tyrell Williams, who will get to

191
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: in a second. But Philip Rivers is a guy that

192
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: I see ten twelve quarterbacks go before him in a

193
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: lot of drafts. I'm just curious what your thoughts are

194
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: in Philip with healthy weapons, you know, mind, let's just

195
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: put this in perspective. No keyenan Allen. Last year one

196
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry was in out of the lineup. They were

197
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: just snake bit by injuries. Dandy woodhad goes out in

198
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: week two. You mentioned Gordon at the end of the

199
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: year with healthy weapons on the outside. What do you

200
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: think of Philip Rivers in twenty seventeen. Yeah, I like

201
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: him for a Knight's bounce back here, I mean, right now,

202
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: we already talked about Andrew Luck a little bit. He's

203
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: Rivers is going after Andrew Luck, after Ben Roethlisberger, Marcus Mareta,

204
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, He's going about in the tenth round, so

205
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: he's not even getting drafted in ten team leagues, Like

206
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: you said, I think would these guys back healthy, Rivers

207
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: is due for a Knight's bounce back. Just a stat

208
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: here from our research team. He's a much better player

209
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: in his career year when Keenan Allen is healthy. Obviously,

210
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: since twenty fifteen, he's got a one hundred one point

211
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: six passer rating with Allen, and that's three hundred and

212
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: thirty three pass yards per game and an eighty six

213
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: point three passer rating without Allen. The last two years,

214
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: that's two hundred and sixty nine pass yards per game.

215
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: So there's been a steep drop off in Rivers production

216
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: without Keenan Allen on the field. So I think as

217
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: long as that duo is hooking up all year like

218
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: they're both Rivers definitely in for a nice bounce back.

219
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: He also led the league in interceptions last year, but

220
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: I think some of that had to do with, you know,

221
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: mistakes in the second half trying to climb back from behind,

222
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: just you know, not having the weaponry that he has now.

223
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: So I think he's a nice sleeper at quarterback if

224
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: you can wait on quarterback, which is a strategy I

225
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: suggest everyone takes in their fantasy drafts. Target Philip Rivers there. Laton,

226
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: you should be set to your point. I think he

227
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: was pressing a little bit trying to get the charges

228
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: back in games in the fourth quarter, and that's probably

229
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: a reason for those interceptions going up a little bit

230
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. The other guy who had a thousand

231
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: yards receiving and seven touchdowns last year, Tyroll Williams. He

232
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: came on late in large part to all the injuries

233
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: that they had, but he emerged. He had a nice

234
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: camp as well. What do you think with Tyroll Williams

235
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: this year? I'm looking at wide receiver three, maybe a

236
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: fringe wide receiver four with some upside. What do you think? Yeah,

237
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: I think he's a nice sleeper. He's going on Fantasy

238
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: Football Calculator, He's going about in the early ninth round

239
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: in a twelve team league. I mean, I think a

240
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: guy like him can really only improve. He's sort of

241
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: forced into the high volume role last year. With all

242
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: the injuries, he clearly kind of came through with a

243
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: thousand yards and you know, he's big two he's six

244
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: foot four two h five and he's fast. He ran

245
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: a four four three forty in his pro day two

246
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: years ago. And I was just reading on chargers dot

247
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 1: Com that you know, people are kind of hyping him,

248
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: and he's like, look, he's kind of like knocking them

249
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: down a little bit. Look like, look, look, I want

250
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: to get better. Like I'm not there yet, I'm not

251
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: buying into my own hype. So that kind of shows

252
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: some maturity. He wants to get better. I think he

253
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: can only learn from a guy like Keenan Allen, and

254
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: I think last year he built a good rapport with

255
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, so hopefully they keep that going. And if

256
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: you can get him in the ninth or tenth round,

257
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: as you're like you said, wide receiver three, maybe a

258
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: flex guy, I think you'll be set a quick break

259
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: and we'll be back with more fantasy talk with the franchise.

270
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: for people that are drafting this weekend over the next

271
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. A guy that's going in the first

272
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: three rounds of drafts for you that you're just not touching.

273
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: Who's that guy? Marshawn Lynch? For sure, He's being drafted

274
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: way too high. There's a lot of hype around here.

275
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: I mean everyone who I love Marshawn Lynch. You know,

276
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: it's like a character. But he's aging. The last time

277
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: we saw him, he was banged up. He wasn't good

278
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: in Seattle his last year there. I kind of questioned

279
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: his motivation too. A reporter asked him about a week

280
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: or two ago, did you miss football while you were away?

281
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: And he said no, So, I mean that's that's not

282
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: a guy I want on my fantasy It's an interesting answer. Yeah,

283
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: And I mean, who else but Marshawn Lynch would say that.

284
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: But I understand the hype. The offensive line at Oakland

285
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: is upgraded, and we saw Latavius Murray kind of in

286
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: that role last year. He scored twelve touchdowns, but he

287
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: only had about seven hundred yards rushing, and they got gut.

288
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: These two dynamic guys DeAndre Washington and Jaylen Orchard behind

289
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: Lynch on the depth chart, are you know, very versatile,

290
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: can catch, can run. So I just I can't buy

291
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: into Lynch at that price because there you're drafting him

292
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: as an RB two. Maybe if you take two wide

293
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: receivers in the first two rounds of your RB one,

294
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: and I'm just not not down with that kind of strategy.

295
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: If someone does end up drafting Lynch or has drafted

296
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: Lynch already, who's the handcuff there? Do you think it's

297
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: Washington or Richard? I think from what we saw last year,

298
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: I think it's got to be DeAndre Washington. There's the

299
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: jury's kind of out on this. I think Washington's a

300
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: little bit smaller, but Richard's got Richard's got the speed.

301
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: And I don't know. I just I think Washington's more

302
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: more reliable. I think he'll get more volume. I think

303
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: he's he got the second team reps in camp. So

304
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: my bids are on DeAndre Washington over Rochard. They're both

305
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: very explosive, but if if you're looking for more consistency,

306
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: I think it would be Washington. All right, French, As

307
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: you alluded to it, it's a very talented rookie class.

308
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: You mentioned all those running backs. Who's your favorite a

309
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: rookie if you had to pick one, Definitely Dalvin cook Man.

310
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: I said it off the top two, and the Vikings

311
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: just plugged him in immediately. In the preseason, He's drawn

312
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: nothing but praise from that coaching staff. They're talking about

313
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: how mature he is, how much he's learning. When he

314
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: makes a mistake, he corrects it the next time. He

315
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: got a high volume workload both as a runner and

316
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: a pass catcher in the preseason. So far, it looks

317
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: like he's on the same page with Sam Bradford. And

318
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: like I said, like you know, Christian McCaffrey is an

319
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: crazy talent, But Jonathan Stewart's still there. He's still going

320
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: to see a big workload on Joe Mixon, I think

321
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: is you know, he has a chance to take over

322
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: that starting job over Jeremy Hill and Joe Bernard, but

323
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: I think he's still got to work his way up

324
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: that depth chart, like right out of the gate. You know,

325
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: it's kind of concerning that we're seeing Jeremy Hill getting

326
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: these starts in the preseason games and then the other guy,

327
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette that everyone he's going to like in the

328
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: second round, and from what we've seen from the Jaguars

329
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: in the preseason, they don't know who their quarterback is

330
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: going to be. Whoever they decide. You can't you can't

331
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: be confident in that offense really producing. So I mean,

332
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: maybe maybe four Nette gets a big workload, but how

333
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: many scoring chances is he gonna have? So I think

334
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: the Vikings are a nice sleeper offense and I will

335
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: be targeting Dalvin Cook in all my drafts for sure. Yeah,

336
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, four Net, I think his stock has dropped

337
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks a little bit just

338
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: because of the injury and the offensive line in the quarterback.

339
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: So it's it's just amazing what a couple of weeks

340
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: can do in the preseason to kind of shift your thinking.

341
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: But I'm with you, man, I think Dave, I'm on

342
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: the Dalvin Cook train as well. Who's a guy that

343
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: it's going to be on all your team's franchise that

344
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: you're just targeting, that you're just going to end up

345
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: with on a majority of your teams. I'm targeting Cameron

346
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: Brad tight end on the Buccaneers because you know we

347
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: talked about Hunter Henry. There has some upside. Cameron Brady

348
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: tied him in touchdown receptions last year with eight. You

349
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: can get you can wait till the fifteenth round of

350
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: your draft and take Cameron bred as your tight end

351
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: won and feel confident about that. Like eight touchdowns last year,

352
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: I think you know, we kind of saw that connection

353
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: between him and Jamis Winston, especially in the red zone

354
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: last year. Twenty percent of brates eighty one targets where

355
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: red zone targets last year. And he's getting no love

356
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: because everyone thinks rookie tight end O. J. Howard is

357
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: going to be the guy there. But everything we've seen

358
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: out of camp this summer points to Howard kind of

359
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: being more of a blocking type tight end in his

360
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: first year. I'm not knocking Howard's talent. I think he's

361
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: a freakish athlete. He's gonna have a great career in

362
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: the NFL. But for this season, is Braid is the

363
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: guy just because of the value you can get there

364
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: and the upside and targets and red zone looks. I

365
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: think is going to be unmatched. I'd like Bread too,

366
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: And I think DeShawn Jackson is going to help both

367
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: Bright and Mike Evans this year, just kind of stretching

368
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: the field and allowing more opportunities for James to get

369
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: the ball to Bred French eyes. A quarterback that's grossly undervalued.

370
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about Rivers already. I think I

371
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, I feel like Cam Newton's little

372
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: undervalued because he kind of came into last year as

373
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: like a first, you know, the first quarterback off the

374
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: board in a lot of leagues, had a really down season. Obviously,

375
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,959
Speaker 1: he was due for some regression last year after forty

376
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: five total touchdowns in twenty fifteen. I mean, he's still

377
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: gonna get you know, they say they want to run

378
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: him last, but they're talking about, you know, more short

379
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: dump offs to guys like McCaffrey, Guys like Curtis Samuel.

380
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: I think Devin Funchius is being overlooked. He's still got

381
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen, Kelvin Benjamin looks better than he has his

382
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: entire career. So I think Cam Newton's in for a

383
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: nice bounce back here. And considering how poorly he showed

384
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: last year, he's kind of been knocked down in ADP.

385
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: He's still I think he's still going as a top

386
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: ten quarterback, but considering where you can get him and

387
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: how I think he's going to produce, I think that's

388
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: you know, I think I can consider that underrated and

389
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: a good value at quarterback. A couple more quick ones

390
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: for you a running back here in a wide receiver

391
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: that's going in mid rounds that has the potential to

392
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: be top five at their position. Let's say if everything

393
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: breaks right, Green Bay Packers time Montgomery. He was going

394
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: earlier in the season, he was going more like fourth

395
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: fifth round. Now he's a little bit injured. He hasn't

396
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: seen the field in the last preseason game, so the

397
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: ADP has slipped in the seventh round, and I think

398
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: the Packers they want him to be their guy. He

399
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: just has some injury issues. The sickle cell trade is

400
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: obviously a concern, but I think he's a guy even

401
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: in a limited workload ten to twelve touches a game,

402
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: I think he can be explosive. We kind of saw

403
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: I want to compare him to Jamal Charles in his prime,

404
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: but we saw a guy like Jamal Charles kind of

405
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: produced very efficient on a small amount of touches. I

406
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: kind of can see that for Time Montgomery in a

407
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: high scoring offense in Green Bay. You know, I think

408
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: they can use it. He's so versable. He's a converted

409
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver or running back. I think if you can

410
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: target him in the seventh eighth round, which is about

411
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: where he's going now, with the kind of downgrade from

412
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: the preseason, I think that's really good value for a

413
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: guy like Time Montgomery wide receiver. I like, I mean, dude,

414
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman is getting no love. The Patriots brought in

415
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks is going maybe second third round, which is

416
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: lunacy to me. We know Julian Edman. Julian Edelman is

417
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: going maybe like sixth, seventh round, which is which is crazy.

418
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: You know, he's not a high touchdown upside guy, but

419
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: he gets the targets. He gets the receptions. He's DFS

420
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady, which is always the positive. So I think,

421
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: you know, Julian Edelman, his value is depressed because of

422
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: guys like Brandon Cookes, Bronk is healthy. People are just

423
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: kind of forgetting about him. And it's weird because he

424
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: had such a great season last year. So if you

425
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: can get Edelman as maybe your third or fourth wide

426
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: receiver in the draft and like use him in your

427
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: flex spot on a week to week basis, I think

428
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna be super happy about that. Tom's not forget

429
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: about Julian. It's his boy, the Derby. The things are

430
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: fine in New England with him and Julian. Yeah yeah, right,

431
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: Like he's it's like people just forgot he exists. I

432
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: know it's crazy, man, all right, last one for you,

433
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: But a player that's currently going undrafted or super super

434
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: late that you think will end up making some noise

435
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. I like this guy, Dante Foreman in Houston,

436
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: rookie running back kind of behind Lamar Miller. I think

437
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: you know, we saw Lamar Miller finally get that huge

438
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: workload last year. He kind of broke down. He wasn't

439
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: very efficient. I think the Texans broad in Foreman. He's

440
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: a bigger kind of power back. I think they kind

441
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: of brought him in to spell Lamar Miller at times,

442
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, kind of lighten his workload so he can

443
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: be more efficient with his touches. I think they plugged

444
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: Foeman in as kind of a goal line type guy.

445
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: I think he can have some value with the quarterback

446
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: change there. That offense is going to look different, hopefully

447
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: without Rock Oswiler, and be a little more efficient in

448
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: the red zone. They were terrible in the red zone

449
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: last year, so I think if you can get Dante Foreman,

450
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: I don't think he's being drafted in regular redraft leagues.

451
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: Kind of like him as a late round dart throw,

452
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: kind of a flyer type guy at running back to

453
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: a kind of spell Lamar Miller. If Lamar Miller gets hurt,

454
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: I can see them plugging formed in and as a

455
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: feature back there because he has those qualities. Franchise awesome stuff,

456
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: my man. He's Matt francisco Is. You can follow him
