1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Welcome and everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Football Podcast. It is me Joey p joe pis Apia

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: with me today Jake Seely from the Athletic and we're

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: gonna have a conversation a little fun about free agency

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: players that could land in certain places and would change

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: absolutely everything. So we have a longer form discussion here

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: on the channel. If you want to check that out,

8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: subscribe to our YouTube channel, subscribe to our podcast feed. Jake,

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: Tom Strack and I sat down had a nice conversation

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: about the free agency guys where they might land. But

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: we're having a little fun here today, so we're talking

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: about the best possible spots. Maybe some are pie in

13
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: the sky, but they certainly would be fun for fantasy.

14
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: So Jake Sealey, let's start with a big free agent

15
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: that just set himself one hell of a game in factive,

16
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl MVP. It's Ken Walker. So let's talk

17
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: about Ken Walker and what landing spot for him would

18
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: be an ideal, incredible boon for his fantasy value.

19
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: Well, so yeah, that was my thought process with these

20
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: five is not just the boon potential, but also the

21
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: bust potential. For what the ripple effect would be, Like

22
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: we're talking ways created when these kind of things happen

23
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: with all these top five. So Kenneth Walker going to

24
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: the bangles of all teams would have ripple effects. We

25
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: would have Kenneth Walker considerations probably at the back end

26
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 2: of the RB one. I don't think Chase Brown would

27
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: completely go away.

28
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: But the reason I put this.

29
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: As a possibility, and again this is the thought process

30
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: of like what would just cause a devastation across the

31
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: fantasy landscape is because Chase Brown his value would go

32
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: out the window.

33
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: He would basically fall.

34
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 2: Into the Charbonnay roll or worse. Because with the amount

35
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: of money that the Bengals have, they can address a

36
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: lot of things this year, hopefully on defense.

37
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: But what if they go after a running back?

38
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: And that's where I put this here, is because whether

39
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: it's Kenneth Walker or somebody else, if the Bengals actively

40
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: go after a running back instead of paying Chase Brown

41
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 2: an extension, that kind of tells you what they're thinking,

42
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: which was already something we kind of saw last year,

43
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: was like, so my JP Ryan went healthy thirty five

44
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: percent of the work, thirty five percent of the work

45
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: thirty five percent of the work third downs, sometimes at

46
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: the goal line opportunities. What if they're like, you know what,

47
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: we like Chase Brown, but we have a potential Kenneth Walker,

48
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: even Breese Hoole, who will talk about to a different

49
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: team after this. If they go that route, you not

50
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: just have the effect of the running back going here,

51
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: but we lose all that value for Chase Brown. And

52
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: then also obviously Keneth Walker going anywhere but back to

53
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: the Seahawks opens up that window to what are we

54
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: going to do with this backfield because there's no Charboney

55
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: for a long time.

56
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, look, I think going back to the Seahawks

57
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: certainly feels like, especially with the Sharbonney injury, something that

58
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: should make sense. It's not like Kobe askally to take

59
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: him with him going to the Raiders. We already have

60
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: our running back last time I checked there. But certainly

61
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: ken Walker rannas value without Zach Sharbonay actually would be

62
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: pretty good. But you know, they might bring somebody else

63
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: to compete and take some carries off of him. Let's

64
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: get to Breeze Hall, another running back here who's very hot.

65
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: In the free agency window here, a lot of people

66
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: try to put him on different teams. Again, we all

67
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: understand that different teams have different cap situations, but this

68
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: is fun here. So Jake, what's the most fun, mind

69
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: blowing landing spot we can have for Breeze Hall.

70
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: This one I like, And if both these scenarios happen,

71
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: I would have rank Breacehall ahead of Kenneth Walker. To

72
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: be clear, because I think the one team that nobody's

73
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: really talking about, there's actually two teams that nobody's really

74
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 2: talking about.

75
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: I don't have the other team. We'll talk.

76
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: Go check out the other show. It's the Cardinals if

77
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: you haven't seen any other show. But the teams that

78
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: people aren't talking about that could potentially shake things up

79
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: in their backfield, this one is the Commanders. The Commanders

80
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: also have a ton I mean a ton of cap

81
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: space and they have issues to address. But if you're

82
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: looking at the changes with the offense, if you look

83
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: at the fact that they got rid of Kingsbury and

84
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: maybe they're thinking a little bit differently. But the one

85
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: thing that you already said as of yesterday when we're

86
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 2: recording this is they already came out. It's like there's

87
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: one running back on our roster because there is there's

88
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: one running back on the roster right now, it's Jacorey

89
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: krossky Merritt. Well, what is Jacory krossky Merritt kind of

90
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: more of a carry type, not much in the passing game.

91
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: What does Breesehall do? Great in the passing game, but

92
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: he's also great overall. Breesehall going to the Commanders, I

93
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: mean we'd be talking, Like I said, I would rank

94
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: him in front of Kenneth Walker. I think he'd be

95
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: a true belcal just like he was with the Jets,

96
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: but on a functional offense with a fun quarterback and

97
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: a fun offense. And I mean tell me would we

98
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: would probably be talking about Breese Hall's potential top ten probably.

99
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean he would certainly be around the turn conversation,

100
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: I think in that offense with a healthy Jay and

101
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: Daniels and hopefully we get that in twenty twenty six.

102
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: We didn't get it in twenty twenty five. Obviously that

103
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: was unfortunate. I would also Kyle Pitts is another guy

104
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: I'd like to see on the Commanders to tell you

105
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: the truth like that, that to me would be a

106
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: fun marriage there for you know, tight End with his

107
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: sort of versatility and ability along with Jayden Daniel's ability

108
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: to you know, extend plays. I'd like to see that.

109
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: But Breece Hall landing with the Commanders, they will be

110
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: very good. Look they tarry Brian Rominson Junior last year

111
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: and basically the backfield which is the mess afterwards DL.

112
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: So go figure you get rid of that steady Eddy guy.

113
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, is a lot of chaos. Now

114
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: we are giving away something fun here. Fantasy season's over,

Speaker 1: the trophy. Smack Fantasy Football Championship built all right. Next up,

136
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: veteran Mike Evans. It's hard to imagine him anywhere else

137
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: than being a Tampa Bay buccaneer, but this is fun,

138
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: so let's imagine him somewhere else. Drake.

139
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna basically repeat if you watch the other

140
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: long form one, the exact same spot that I think

141
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: Mike Evans would make a lot of interest for us

142
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: in fantasy And also again the ripple effect, Mike Evans

143
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: going to huh, somebody who has a free agent wide

144
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: receiver as is kind of one number two. Their number

145
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 2: one didn't play the entire season. By the way, it's

146
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: a great offense I don't know how many more hints

147
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 2: I could get. Their number one as of right now

148
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 2: is great in space and over the middle of the field,

149
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 2: and is a great replacement for what deeblos stamily used

150
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: to do for this team and Mike Evans going to

151
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers. Could you imagine Mike Evans and

152
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers. And the reason I say this

153
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: is because going back to the Buccaneers again feels like

154
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 2: the Kenneth Walker, Like this just makes sense, But the

155
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 2: Buccaneers set themselves up to they don't.

156
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 3: Need him right now, like they have Abuco who's shown

157
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: it off.

158
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: McMillan's now back in healthy as the number three with

159
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: a healthy Chris Godwin. Yeah, it'd be nice to be like, hey,

160
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: Mike Evans retires as a buccaneer, was a buccaneer, all

161
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: that type of stuff.

162
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 3: But at the same time, it's like, they.

163
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 2: Don't really need to bring him back, and honestly would

164
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: be better for us in fantasy if they didn't, because

165
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: we would get that value for a Buka and Godwin

166
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: cleared out and get one of those options. Mike Evans

167
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: going to the forty nine Ers could replicate what he

168
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: did with the Buccaneers as the one and open up

169
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: things for Ricky Peersel because the biggest thing here is

170
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: when or if is George Tittle playing in twenty twenty six.

171
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 3: And I think that's the big thing.

172
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 2: Here is that forty nine ers kind of needs somebody

173
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 2: in the receiving game if they don't bring back Jennings,

174
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: and I think they could even go higher than this

175
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: and bring in like a Mike Evans type and kind

176
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 2: of shock some people.

177
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 3: And I think it would be fun for us in

178
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 3: fantasy if it happened.

179
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: I think the fun one would also be pairing them

180
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen because I don't know if necessary Buffalo

181
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: wants to go drafting wide receivers. Again, I don't think

182
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: that's proven well for them, But I think Buffalo for

183
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,679
Speaker 1: Mike Evans is the one where it's like, Hey, getting

184
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: towards the end here, one more run of the championship.

185
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: What's the best place to do that. Well, go play

186
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen for a year or two. Doesn't want

187
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: to play the cold that. I don't know. When you

188
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: spend your entire career in Tampa, Buffalo is a bit

189
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: of a culture. Shock them out saying you can't do.

190
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: Why I did the tiebreaker that legit thought the Bills

191
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: and I did the tiebreaker the weather.

192
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: Look, man, once you get in your forties, you know

193
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: it's just the cold, is not I'm telling you, man,

194
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: it's been like two degrees here for like a week

195
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: and a half in New Jersey. No, sir, no sir,

196
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: it's not for me.

197
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: I want to like it's in the twenties, like T

198
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,239
Speaker 2: shirts what we don't care, And all of a sudden,

199
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: it's like.

200
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm wearing a T shirt right now in my house

201
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: because it's one hundred degrees inside because the heat and

202
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: never goes off. That's the problem, all right. So Mike

203
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,679
Speaker 1: Evans and the forty nine Ers is jakes landing spot.

204
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: I like the Buffalo Bills. Let's see where Alec Pierce

205
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: might go here. Let's talk about this one where you

206
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: have Alec Pierce, big deep threat guy. Where could he

207
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: make a huge fantasy impact.

208
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: I think we just mentioned two teams that are in play.

209
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: I think you could even talk about the Commanders. I've

210
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: seen some people bring up I've seen some people bring

211
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: up the Ravens. Maybe they start passing more to their

212
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: wide receivers with their change in offensive coordinator. But for me,

213
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: I think the interesting one is what do we know

214
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 2: about Brian Dable with his time with the Giants. He

215
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 2: tried to make Darius Slayton a thing year after year

216
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: after year, no matter if it was Daniel Jones or

217
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: than Jackson Dart or even Winston as Russell Wilson has

218
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: taken shots downfield to Darius Slayton. With the Calvin Ridley situation,

219
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: is he even back? What do they have after Calvin Ridley?

220
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: They have two young wide receivers in aum Manner and DK, But.

221
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 3: Who's the better as of right now?

222
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: Who everybody would say is DK, and I think everybody

223
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: would agree like he looked better than a you maner

224
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 2: as a rookie.

225
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 3: Well what does DK do?

226
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 2: DK does more of the Wan Doll Robinson type of thing.

227
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: So if you're looking for Dable making a splash, I

228
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 2: know he's not in charge everything, but he's gonna have

229
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: an input on it. Is the fact that he comes

230
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 2: in and says, you know what I want my Darius

231
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: Slayton type, and I like what I've seen from DK.

232
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: Maybe Calm Ridley even sticks around, But Alec Pierce with

233
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: potentially unlocking the next level for cam ward The interesting

234
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 2: thing there is that Callahan just left after not developing

235
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 2: cam Warden. Now he's in charge of trying to develop

236
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 2: Jackson Dark. Good job Giants, by the way. But anyway,

237
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: as that sidebar is, maybe Dable gets back to his

238
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: ways with the Bills and he gets that deep threat

239
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: and Alec Pearce goes in from having you know, limited

240
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: opportunities and targets wise and ends up being the target

241
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 2: potential leader for the Titans.

242
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: I like the Raiders for Alec Pierce, a field stretcher

243
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: for Fernando Mendoza.

244
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 3: There's a tease to watch the long form video, but.

245
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: Look at you, what a pro. You're so good. But again,

246
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, you watch the tape of Indiana Fana. Mendoza

247
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: likes to throw the ball downfield, you know, whether he

248
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: has those comeback routes downfield or you have those pi's,

249
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: you know, he takes his shots. And I think it

250
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: would be a nice compliment to which you have already

251
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: with Brock Bowers and Ashton Genty. You have a lot

252
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: of good young players there and Pierce Wood I think

253
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: fitting very well. And if I'm Alec Pierce. I'm just

254
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: looking at the season that Jack and Smith and Jigba

255
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: had and I said, I want to go play for

256
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: that Clint Kubiac guy and get a million targets in

257
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: an offense. That's why I like Jack Besh as a

258
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: prospect still, I think. But to me, he's not a

259
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: deep to that kind of guy. He's more of an

260
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: intermediate sort of guy. So I think he would fill

261
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: an interesting role there for the Raiders. Last guy here

262
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: is a quarterback, Daniel Jones. All right, So I know

263
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: Indie thinks it's just a foregone conclusion, but Jake seely

264
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: does not. Jake, let's drop the bomb on him. Where

265
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: could Daniel and Jones go? That would really change everything

266
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: for fantasy football.

267
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: Somebody he's played before and not the Giants. Oh, by

268
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 2: the way, Kevin O'Connell, who might be the reason he

269
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: turned into a half decent quarterback with Daniel Jones filling

270
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 2: in there for going back to the Vikings and they're

271
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: done with JJ McCarthy.

272
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 3: We talked about it on any other show, you me

273
00:10:58,720 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: and Erickson.

274
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of talking general that McCarthy's

275
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: already done, Like they gave him two years for all

276
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: intentsive purposes, two years and it's not happening. And there's

277
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 2: a lot of talk of where they bring in Kirk

278
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: Cousins if he's cut, what if they bring back Daniel Jones,

279
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: what if they go after Daniel Jones?

280
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 3: And all of a sudden, not only is Daniel Jones.

281
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: Back into the conversation of top fifteen in fantasy, potentially

282
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: a QB one with Justin Jefferson Addison, a healthy JJ

283
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: Augusson under Kevin O'Connell the running up side, I mean,

284
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: we would probably.

285
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: Be talking about Daniel Jones' honestly quick cybar.

286
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 2: We'd probably be talking about Daniel Jones versus Jackson Dart

287
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: in rankings if he was on the vikings.

288
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 3: So not only do you have that, but now what's

289
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 3: the ripple effect?

290
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: Maybe Anthony Richardson's back in playing fantasy because the Colts.

291
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 3: Are all like, uh oh, what do we do now?

292
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: Oops?

293
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we better see what we have in Anthony Richardson

294
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 2: for one year if he can stay healthy, and maybe

295
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 2: they bring in some vet to back him up. But yeah,

296
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: that's why I thought this one would be very interesting because,

297
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: as you said, the assumed situation is that he's back

298
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 2: with the Colts. Just what if Daniel Jones isn't the

299
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: one who's like, I'm one hundred percent back with the Colts.

300
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: So what if you see is the Vikings opportunity, It's like,

301
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 2: you know what, that's a better opportunity to go to

302
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 2: better weapons and I'm gonna go have some fun with

303
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: my old Kevin O'Connell coach, and all of a sudden,

304
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: Indies left holding the bag with Antheena.

305
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: Richardson, I've given an alternate landing spot for all four

306
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: of the guys so far from number five. I'm in

307
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: agreement with Jake Seally. Let's star holding hands there. I

308
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: think it's fun. Look, he knows the offense right, he

309
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: was there. I mean, I want to work with Kevin O'Connell.

310
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: I'd want to work with Justin Jefferson and the rest

311
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: of the cast that they have there. It's very tempting.

312
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: I still think that division is still very much up

313
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: for grabs. That defense is very good. Offensively, they were

314
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: just an absolute disaster last year. So if you can

315
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: get the offense back on track, you know you got

316
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: a good head coach like that division is quality all

317
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: the teams that division are good, but I think the

318
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: Vikings can compete with them if they have good quarterback play,

319
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: and they just frankly didn't have it all year. So

320
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: that is fun. Let's drop some comments below let us

321
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: know where your fun landing spot for some of these

322
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: or other free agents might be. Drop your predictions in

323
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: the comments and it might win. You're a belt from

324
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: Trophy Smack that again could be used as a weapon

325
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: or a fashion piece, depending on how you roll. Jake

326
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: Seeley from The Athletic always great to talk to you.

327
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: That'll do it for us, but the story of the

328
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: game goes on for Jake. I'm Joey P. We'll see

329
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:13,920
