Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly
Speaker 2: source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, and
Speaker 2: whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show.
Speaker 2: Now here's your host, Paul Chargion.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Charchie and
Speaker 1: co host today Brian Johnson.
Speaker 3: Hey, buddy, what's up charging season? I know feels like, well,
Speaker 3: it's it's draft season, it's Thor season.
Speaker 1: It is Thor season. And that brings me to a
Speaker 1: scheduling note. Last week we cut two episodes with Thor
Speaker 1: on rookie running backs, and I had mistakenly said that
Speaker 1: with those were going to air back to back and
Speaker 1: then we were gonna do free agents. But it's actually
Speaker 1: free agents right here in the middle. So you're gonna
Speaker 1: get more of Thor next week in part two of
Speaker 1: his Rookie running Breakdown, like a dozen more rookies to
Speaker 1: talk about.
Speaker 3: We hit on.
Speaker 1: We hit the six big ones that are like Day one,
Speaker 1: Day two guys last week. Will hit on about a
Speaker 1: dozen more next week.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say only two episodes or I know
Speaker 3: it's and we joked about like a whole Ken Burns
Speaker 3: series on the twenty twenty five running back draft class. Yes, I imagine.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do the history of jazz and then we're
Speaker 1: going to do all the rookie running backs with Thorne
Speaker 1: Eystrom next week.
Speaker 3: And I'll touch on it, of course in this episode.
Speaker 3: How I'm a best ball early best ball player. But
Speaker 3: I'm just like, is this like total zero running back?
Speaker 3: And I'm just like drafting any rookie I can find,
Speaker 3: you know, past like round ten basically obviously like gend
Speaker 3: is going early, but outside, I mean, there's just so
Speaker 3: many guys.
Speaker 1: Well tell me how early is going because yeah, you
Speaker 1: can make a case for him.
Speaker 3: First overall, well, he's now right now like he started
Speaker 3: out at the turn basically the one two turn.
Speaker 4: That's too low. That's too low.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we'll see, I think, and he hasn't really
Speaker 3: moved a lot. We'll obviously where he ends up getting
Speaker 3: drafted will uh that could be justifiable. But if he
Speaker 3: ends up on you know who, you know, he's not
Speaker 3: gonna be at the Falcons. But you know what I'm
Speaker 3: saying is the wrong team who knows the Falcons could
Speaker 3: draft that who they're not you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: But anyway, he's up there. But uh then kind of
Speaker 3: the major drop off. But you've got podcasts and podcasts
Speaker 3: talk about the rookie running backs a lot.
Speaker 4: We do, for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, today, the focus of this one, we're covering players
Speaker 1: who found new teams in free agency. So we're not
Speaker 1: gonna do guys who reupt with their own team. We
Speaker 1: got to pick our battles. We're talking through the fantasy
Speaker 1: relevancy of the players who changed to change teams, and
Speaker 1: that gives us an opportunity. It's it's a lot of
Speaker 1: guys and a lot of relevant ones. Interestingly, you know,
Speaker 1: we were talking running backs. Probably the least interesting position
Speaker 1: is the running backs because there just weren't a lot
Speaker 1: of good ones that hit free agency. Maybe there's not
Speaker 1: a lot of good ones in the NFL, especially with
Speaker 1: the rookie running back class that's coming in. But let's
Speaker 1: start at the quarterback position. Brian and your guy Sam Darnold. First, emotionally,
Speaker 1: how are you doing.
Speaker 3: I'm happy for I wanted the Raiders, you know I
Speaker 3: The Raiders were like kind of the sexier landing spot
Speaker 3: with Brock Bowers. I've been a Jacobe Myers fan for
Speaker 3: many years now, going back to the Patriots, and they're
Speaker 3: in a position where they might draft a gen t
Speaker 3: or a tet tet.
Speaker 1: You're talking all you're taking all my geno Smith talking points.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, but anyway, going to Seattle, that didn't happen.
Speaker 3: But Sam's a Seahawk now twelveth Sam Pearl Sam thinking
Speaker 3: of some Seattle references.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it should be sound Sam or Sam
Speaker 1: Sound Sound Sam.
Speaker 3: Pearl jams from Seattle.
Speaker 1: Well, that's a good that's true.
Speaker 3: It's not that good though, but it makes It's not
Speaker 3: that good. It's not I don't see t shirts being made, Sam.
Speaker 1: It doesn't really have a ring to it either, to
Speaker 1: be honest.
Speaker 3: From from a fantasy perspective, though not denying it's not
Speaker 3: as friendly a spot as the Vikings were last year.
Speaker 3: Right now we're looking at Jackson Smith and Jigba. Basically,
Speaker 3: this is only weapon in the receiving game. DK Metcalf
Speaker 3: we'll talk about later in this episode. Gone Tyler Lockett,
Speaker 3: he was kind of washed. But you'd have to expect
Speaker 3: the Seahawks are going to make some kind of move
Speaker 3: in the draft in terms of a wide receiver, maybe
Speaker 3: they'll draft one of these high profile tight ends, which
Speaker 3: I'm sure you do will touch on very soon. But uh,
Speaker 3: from a fantasy perspective, you know, he's he's in that,
Speaker 3: he's super flex, startable, but he's a backup when it
Speaker 3: comes to fantasy. He's falling in that you know, QB
Speaker 3: twenty five range, and right now, that's kind of justifiable.
Speaker 3: It's a West Coast system that they're running in Seattle.
Speaker 3: Clinton Kubiak is the new OC. He and Donald were
Speaker 3: together in San Francisco a couple of years ago. Donald
Speaker 3: was the backup, Kubiak was the the passing game coordinator.
Speaker 3: But they're gonna run a system similar to what they're
Speaker 3: running Minnesota. But again, they don't have Justin Jefferson JSN
Speaker 3: a viable weapon. But I don't know, we'll see, we'll
Speaker 3: see how it goes. Offensive line major concerned major, which
Speaker 3: chaunted him in Minnesota last year. It's gonna follow him
Speaker 3: to Seattle. Unfortunately, as the Vikings solidify their line. Of course,
Speaker 3: they weren't gonna do that with Donald don Ross to
Speaker 3: salary cap blah blah. But anyway, Uh, it's it's a
Speaker 3: slight downgrade fantasy wise for Donald, but he's got the job. Now.
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see what happens, and you know I
Speaker 3: will be rooting for him.
Speaker 4: I know you will be rooting for him.
Speaker 1: Personally, I think the offensive line is a major problem
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks need to find some help in the
Speaker 1: draft at this point. That offensive line was one of
Speaker 1: the worst last season. And you know, we saw at
Speaker 1: the end of the season what happens when the Vikings
Speaker 1: offensive line, you know where teams just basically said we're
Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna force the Vikings to protect Sam at
Speaker 1: all costs, and they just they couldn't do it. And
Speaker 1: Seattle brought in to the no meaningful, no meaningful free
Speaker 1: agents across their offensive line other than Josh Jones from Baltimore.
Speaker 1: That's a very thin resume. So yeah, it's I'm I'm
Speaker 1: nervous for Donald here and unclear if Jackson Smith in
Speaker 1: JIGBA can be a quality number one receiver without having
Speaker 1: some surrounding talent with him. Let's go to the other
Speaker 1: side of that coin. Gino Smith going to the Raiders,
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, reunites with Pete Carroll and what I
Speaker 1: like about this, Brian is their familiarity suggests to me
Speaker 1: that Gino can hit the ground running, and he has
Speaker 1: a massive upgrade over Gardner Minshew and even your guy
Speaker 1: Aidan O'Connell.
Speaker 4: Brian, I.
Speaker 1: Know you're a sympathizer, but in a.
Speaker 3: Very distinctive vacuum of versus Gardner.
Speaker 1: Now he does as you mentioned, he'll be throwing to
Speaker 1: brock Bauers, who obviously we love, everybody loves.
Speaker 4: But let's note that.
Speaker 1: Geno Smith nor Pete Carroll ever prioritize tight end production
Speaker 1: in their past offenses, and and I'm sure they will.
Speaker 1: I mean, brock Bauer is a special talent. He's their
Speaker 1: best offensive player. They will, you know, they'll find a
Speaker 1: way to get the ball into his hands. But I
Speaker 1: wish there was a little more of a resume with
Speaker 1: either Geno or Pete Carroll to suggest that they've schematically
Speaker 1: they know how to get the ball to their tight ends.
Speaker 1: I'm still extremely bullish on brock Bauers, and I would
Speaker 1: take him early, no later than the middle of the
Speaker 1: first round. But the only so The receiver of note
Speaker 1: is another guy you mentioned if FFW favorite Jakobe Myers
Speaker 1: in his contract year, and I think Brian, I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna be one of my favorite sleepers for this season.
Speaker 1: I could see one thousand yard season coming for Jacoby
Speaker 1: Myers here, and I'm I'm really optimistic that he can be.
Speaker 1: He can be much better than he has been with
Speaker 1: A than he was with A No'connelly Gardner minshew.
Speaker 3: Yeah. The only thing that's ever held Kobe down outside
Speaker 3: of bad quarterbacking, which is a huge.
Speaker 4: And his whole career by the.
Speaker 3: Way, Yeah, going back to New England, is that he's
Speaker 3: just he's gotten injured and it's really been like concussions
Speaker 3: which has been unfortunate, and he's had his bell will
Speaker 3: run a couple of times. Yes, but when he plays, he's, uh,
Speaker 3: he's elite. I'm gonna say that. I mean, if you
Speaker 3: watch him play, he's got an elite skill set.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now, Gino Smith by far the best quarterback you
Speaker 3: he will have played with in his career.
Speaker 1: And Gino it's gonna appear in a bunch of my
Speaker 1: rosters as my in scenarios where I either punt the
Speaker 1: quarterback position or scenarios where he's just my second quarterback.
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be underdrafted, and I like
Speaker 1: the surrounding talent here.
Speaker 4: I think Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: Takes Ashton Genty in the with pick six, and that'll
Speaker 1: that will make the whole offense better for sure. Let's
Speaker 1: let's pivot to Justin Field, who goes to the Jets
Speaker 1: as the presumed starter, right at least for the moment, Brian.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean who else would it be. I mean
Speaker 3: the move up in the draft, but yeah, I'm I
Speaker 3: think Fuels will be the starter, and I think drafters
Speaker 3: do mentioned the early Bestball drafting, before Fields had a home,
Speaker 3: he was going quarterback thirty. Yeah, and he's surging. Now.
Speaker 3: You know, the ADP that I'm looking at hasn't even
Speaker 3: like corrected itself. You know, it's in the midst of that.
Speaker 3: He's already moved up the quarterback twenty one ahead of J. J. McCarthy,
Speaker 3: Bryce Young, Anthony Richardson. He was going well after that
Speaker 3: tier and kind of understandably so, I mean when he's played,
Speaker 3: he's an elite from a fantasy perspective over the years.
Speaker 3: Here is a Fantasy points per game where he's ranked
Speaker 3: not overall points, but points per game. Starting in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty one, QB thirty's a rookie then, but then QB five.
Speaker 3: He really popped off in twenty two QB eleven and
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three QB eight last year, had a great
Speaker 3: start with the Steelers. Still kind of shocked they took
Speaker 3: him out and or I'm shocked they didn't go back
Speaker 3: to him, give him a chance. I mean, I'm not
Speaker 3: a Giants fan anymore. I'd be pissed if I'm in
Speaker 3: a Giants fan and they got Fields. I think Fields
Speaker 3: is far more intriguing whatever the hell the Giants are
Speaker 3: gonna end up with. But yeah, I mean it's been, like,
Speaker 3: you know, the passing has been the question mark with Fields,
Speaker 3: but he's got Garrett Wilson. He's proven to be an
Speaker 3: able passer in the past. He's never had an elite receiver. Really,
Speaker 3: He's had DJ Moore, he had DJ Moore in twenty
Speaker 3: three pickins last year. But Garrett Wilson better than those
Speaker 3: two combined almost, so the Surgeon price is justified. I'm glad.
Speaker 3: I kind of packed my I was drafted him, knew
Speaker 3: knowing he was gonna get a chance on one of
Speaker 3: these bad teams. But the Jets are an exciting, uh
Speaker 3: landing spot for him. They're very young, and they can
Speaker 3: add talent through the draft, and they got Wilson as mentioned,
Speaker 3: and so yeah, I think I like this spot for Fields. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I guess I shouldn't have any competition, but.
Speaker 1: Not really, Tyrod Taylor is not really a factor here,
Speaker 1: and I don't think that anybody that they would land
Speaker 1: in the draft would end up being a factor either.
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson excited for the prospects of him not having
Speaker 1: to share time is just like last year, not having
Speaker 1: to share time with DeVante Adams at this stage last year.
Speaker 1: But then of course they traded for Adams and that
Speaker 1: nuked Garrett Wilson into orbit hopefully now as really, I mean,
Speaker 1: there's nobody else to catch a pass there, So you know,
Speaker 1: I'm very interested to see if can justin Field support
Speaker 1: a very good receiver and get the most out of him.
Speaker 1: And from a passing standpoint, it's not clear that he can,
Speaker 1: but hope fully he could.
Speaker 3: Failed to mention Worth mentioning Field and Wilson played together
Speaker 3: at Ohio State.
Speaker 4: You know what I had forgotten about that. That's a
Speaker 4: great point.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Daniel Jones and we'll just spend a
Speaker 1: second on him. Colts needed a backup plan for Anthony
Speaker 1: Richardson in an event that he does not get better,
Speaker 1: which through fifteen games he really hasn't. He is a
Speaker 1: total wild card at this point. He has shown little
Speaker 1: improvement through those fifteen games. But it's still only fifteen
Speaker 1: games and he's still young, so you know, there's still
Speaker 1: opportunity for Anthony Richardson to make good on his draft stock.
Speaker 1: You know, for the Colts, you can see why they
Speaker 1: needed Daniel Jones, right, you want, Shane Steichen probably loses
Speaker 1: his job if the Colts tank and if they don't
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, perhaps even and they had to get
Speaker 1: depth behind Richardson in case he can improve on his
Speaker 1: fifty percent career completion rating. And you know what I
Speaker 1: think is kind of interesting about this Daniel Jones move, Brian.
Speaker 1: It could be that Jones had learned enough about JJ
Speaker 1: McCarthy that he was like, I'm never going to get
Speaker 1: a start in Minnesota.
Speaker 3: McCarthy's the good better shot in Indy.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, JJ McCarthy's prospects of being an NFL passer,
Speaker 1: NFL quality starting quarterback to me are way better than
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson's and we've never seen JJ McCarthy play one
Speaker 1: down of regular season football.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and uh, that's what you would lead leads me
Speaker 3: to believe that as well, that yeah, he just saw
Speaker 3: there was a definite road stop in Minnesota.
Speaker 4: I think that's it.
Speaker 3: I think which is clearly the better position you want
Speaker 3: to be in to be win a Super Bowl, be
Speaker 3: successful in Minnesota over Indianapolis. Right now, all all that's
Speaker 3: missing is the quarterback quote unquote missing.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, all right, let's go to the running back position.
Speaker 1: I think that's the notable quarterbacks. Let's go to the
Speaker 1: running and to me, there's only one that one running
Speaker 1: back out of this list that looks likely to be
Speaker 1: a starter, and that's Naji Harris who went to the Chargers.
Speaker 1: You know, we all know Jim Harbaugh once to ruin
Speaker 1: the ball, once to run it more effectively than he
Speaker 1: did last year. Naji Harris, I believe, never missed a
Speaker 1: game in his career. And that's one of the things
Speaker 1: that I'm sure that you know, after the troubles they
Speaker 1: had with JK. Dobbins and Gus Edwards constantly going in
Speaker 1: and out of lineups, I'm sure, that's one of the
Speaker 1: things that appealed to them with Najie Harris.
Speaker 3: And now he's been durable for sure, but pretty pretty
Speaker 3: meh to this point in his career. But the offensive
Speaker 3: offenses he's played for in Pittsburgh have been very uninspired.
Speaker 3: The offensive line never been good. Yeah for him, but
Speaker 3: Harris shockingly efficient last year. Uh he uh ranked let's see,
Speaker 3: among thirty seven running backs with two hundred plus touches,
Speaker 3: he was eleventh and miss tackles forced per touch. He's
Speaker 3: middle of the pack and explosive play rate and again
Speaker 3: that wash a really bad offensive line. Things will improve
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles. The Chargers JK. Dobbins still unsigned, So
Speaker 3: it really looks like it's gonna be a whole lot
Speaker 3: of nausey. I mean this, It seems like he stays healthy,
Speaker 3: like he's gonna have three hundred touches type season. Don't
Speaker 3: you feel that way. I think they're just gonna I
Speaker 3: think they're gonna draft a running back.
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna draft another running back.
Speaker 1: But as it as it stands today, he's running back one,
Speaker 1: and he's better than anybody else on roster.
Speaker 3: I think, like every team's gonna draft a running back
Speaker 3: for sure, but I don't know. I don't think if
Speaker 3: they're gonna draft someone high enough to be an immediate
Speaker 3: threat to Naji I think. But anyway, again, a guy
Speaker 3: who's his ADP has gone up since finding a home
Speaker 3: inside the top thirty running backs now and that ADP
Speaker 3: is correcting itself. By the day he was outside of that,
Speaker 3: he was kind of almost in the art be forty
Speaker 3: range right around like h Tank Bigsby a month or
Speaker 3: two ago. But yeah, people are excited about the the move.
Speaker 3: We'll see how good he is. You know, he's in
Speaker 3: a better spot. So hopefully the the efficiency numbers lead
Speaker 3: to bigger fantasy stats would have been which have been.
Speaker 4: Lacking they have.
Speaker 1: He's a you know he can catch and they don't.
Speaker 1: You I'd like to see a team that actually throws
Speaker 1: to him a bunch. And I don't have the numbers
Speaker 1: in front of me. I wish I had, but I'd
Speaker 1: like to see them. I'd like to see him used
Speaker 1: more as a receiver than he has been to this point.
Speaker 1: And you know, if he doesn't have to share time
Speaker 1: with Jaalen Warren, what would it look like if Najie
Speaker 1: Harris got three hundred carries, you know, could he be
Speaker 1: Does he have top ten running back upside on three
Speaker 1: hundred carries which Jim Harbaugh could do well? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I think you know that that could come together.
Speaker 1: It's not out of the range of possibilities.
Speaker 3: Quickly. On the other side of the coin, you're you're
Speaker 3: mentioning Jalen Warren. Interesting what's left behind? But I mean,
Speaker 3: Jalen Warren. Pittsburgh just signed Kenneth Gainwell, but we're not
Speaker 3: going to talk about that so right now. I mean,
Speaker 3: if Warren can survive the draft in terms of the
Speaker 3: Steelers draft a high profile running back or multiple running
Speaker 3: backs man, right now, he looks like a league to
Speaker 3: the opposite winner. If you were at drafted early like me,
Speaker 3: he's going up in price as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he should. And he's a pretty good player too.
Speaker 1: We don't know that he can be a three hundred
Speaker 1: carry guy as well. Can he carry a backfield? And
Speaker 1: the other thing I want to mention about Kenneth Gainwell,
Speaker 1: just to my eyes visually, I thought he looked way
Speaker 1: better last year than he had the previous years, and
Speaker 1: he had some eye popping runs that made me go, Wow,
Speaker 1: that doesn't look like the same guy. I don't know
Speaker 1: that we've heard the last of Kenneth Gainwell, we'll find out.
Speaker 3: Oh no, he'll be uh, he'll be utilized, and he'll
Speaker 3: be he'll be a ta com one or two weeks.
Speaker 4: He will be.
Speaker 1: That's exactly we're gonna get a little We're going to
Speaker 1: get some some peak cocking out of that.
Speaker 3: Later on, I looked this up really quick. The Chargers
Speaker 3: running backs as a whole last year dead last in
Speaker 3: catches forty three. Well on the season.
Speaker 1: Well, was it because they didn't have guys who caught
Speaker 1: the ball naturally like Gus Edwards no catching ability or
Speaker 1: or is it just you know, you know, the Greg
Speaker 1: Roman offense, I mean Greg Roman's offenses. They just never
Speaker 1: throw to running backs.
Speaker 4: JJ.
Speaker 1: Zacharyson and I, actually Zachariason and I were going back
Speaker 1: and forth on Twitter.
Speaker 4: Today about this very topic.
Speaker 1: He noted that Greg Romans running backs in all of
Speaker 1: his years his offensive coordinator have never ranked higher than
Speaker 1: nineteenth in receptions. So from a PPR standpoint, those Charger
Speaker 1: running backs will always probably languish. Let's go to Elijah Mitchell.
Speaker 1: I don't even think we need to spend a lot
Speaker 1: of time in this. He went to Kansas City. The
Speaker 1: story on Elijah Mitchell always injured, including the entirety of
Speaker 1: last year. He was kind of electric in San Francisco
Speaker 1: in brief moments before Christian McCaffrey got there, and then
Speaker 1: periodically when Christian McCaffrey would get hurt, but just again
Speaker 1: constantly hurt. Kareem Hunt just resigned with the team today,
Speaker 1: So there's I don't see much here for Elijah Mitchell
Speaker 1: and the and I believe they're also a candidate to
Speaker 1: everybody's a candidate, draft a runner, But I don't think
Speaker 1: Kareem hunts metrics last year were terrible, and Elijah Asaiah
Speaker 1: Pajeco's knee injury just an ongoing question mark. I just
Speaker 1: I don't know that Mitchell even survives to the final
Speaker 1: roster here, so I don't think we need to spend
Speaker 1: a lot of time on him. Let's pivot over to
Speaker 1: Rico Dowdell, who got to the point where at the
Speaker 1: end of last year he was he was a weekly
Speaker 1: fantasy starter. Now finds himself in Carolina.
Speaker 3: Brian, Yeah, and you know, people, I was assuming you
Speaker 3: know it kind of seemed like Dallas was, you know,
Speaker 3: saying they're not gonna draft a running back high, and
Speaker 3: it just seemed like doubt all they shouldn't go back
Speaker 3: to because you looked good, as you said last year,
Speaker 3: last year, especially in the second half. But uh, we'll
Speaker 3: talk about who the Cowboys decided to go with in
Speaker 3: a minute. I presume him, so dowdle to Carolina where
Speaker 3: he will back up Cuba Hubbard. You know, it's it's
Speaker 3: a pretty meh landing spot at the one angle here.
Speaker 3: You know, Cuba suffered the season ending knee injury late
Speaker 3: last year, so this feels like a you know, go
Speaker 3: if Cuba was fully healthy going into the season, he'll
Speaker 3: probably be near one hundred percent, but he's not going
Speaker 3: to be a bell cow by any means. If he
Speaker 3: was in that state of health, you know, he'd probably
Speaker 3: like seventy thirty in favor of Cuba. But I feel
Speaker 3: like it might be a little heavier reco you know,
Speaker 3: to start the season as Tuba's coming back from the
Speaker 3: knee injury, which will present a cell high window. And
Speaker 3: right now stock on Dowdell down big time because he's
Speaker 3: you know, just presumed back up to Cuba Hubbard, but
Speaker 3: I think it will see at least a fifty to
Speaker 3: fifty split on an offense. That's you know they're on
Speaker 3: the upset wing as a for sure.
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, So people.
Speaker 3: Are hating on this landing spot, but I think there's
Speaker 3: some sneaky value here, especially if Daubdell can get off
Speaker 3: to a I think it'll be flexworthy, maybe even RB
Speaker 3: too worthy to start the season. And if he gets
Speaker 3: off to a hot start, you can sell high because
Speaker 3: you would presume that you know the Tuba will get
Speaker 3: ramped up coming off the knee.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought Cuba looked really good last year, and
Speaker 1: I don't think that need is going to be a factor.
Speaker 1: So I am less optimistic about Dowbell than you are.
Speaker 1: But I think it's still Cuba's going to be the
Speaker 1: primary and doubt will be change of pace. But we'll
Speaker 1: see how this thing shakes out. I'm still I'm still
Speaker 1: team Tuba on this one. You mentioned Dallas has that
Speaker 1: opening at running back. Well, honestly they've had an opening
Speaker 1: a running back from like two years. But Javonte Williams
Speaker 1: signs there, I don't care. No team is more likely
Speaker 1: to put high end draft equity into the running back
Speaker 1: position than Dallas is in maybe Denver. Almost anybody Dallas
Speaker 1: DFT Dallas is gonna draft a running back day one
Speaker 1: or day two, end of story, I'd be stunned. I'd
Speaker 1: like ninety percent chance they do. And anybody they draft
Speaker 1: is gonna be a lot better than Javonte Williams. And
Speaker 1: that's gonna move to Williams back to a backup role.
Speaker 1: And you know it's sad if we you know, for
Speaker 1: one the clock, four seasons ago, Williams are great. Then
Speaker 1: he had the ACL. Then we've had two seasons since
Speaker 1: then post ACL, and it's just he's just not the
Speaker 1: same guy, averaging three point eight yards per carry and
Speaker 1: really unable to distinguish himself from all the other randos
Speaker 1: that they've that they've rotated in and out of that
Speaker 1: Denver backfield. So I I can't get excited about this one.
Speaker 3: Brian, Nah, I think we've said enough.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to the octation. Then I
Speaker 1: agree we've said enough. I mentioned at the outset, the
Speaker 1: running backs are gonna are the least important position out.
Speaker 4: Of all of these.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the wide outs and Davante Adams now
Speaker 1: with the Rams, this is a tantalizing landing spot.
Speaker 4: What do you think?
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, I love this for Davante and for
Speaker 3: everyone involved, even Pukakua. I mean people are like, oh,
Speaker 3: Pooka's gonna hurt Pooka. The rising tide lifts all boats.
Speaker 3: We say that all the time. This is both of
Speaker 3: these guys are gonna be more open basically, and speaking
Speaker 3: of being more open, Adams starting from week twelve on
Speaker 3: last year, who he was a borderline league winner Fantasy wise,
Speaker 3: of course, not for the Jets, they weren't winning, Jack Squatt,
Speaker 3: but from week twelve on DeVante Adams was eleventh best
Speaker 3: in Fantasy points data, average separations scored on in reperspective,
Speaker 3: Kuka and Nakua was nineteenth best, and Cooper Cup, who
Speaker 3: he's essentially replacing, was fifty first of sixty nine wide recips.
Speaker 1: And that's why Cooper Cup is not yet signed.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: So huge upgrade for Snatt, Stafford and then this whole offense.
Speaker 3: The Rams wide receivers led the NFL in receptions last
Speaker 3: year two hundred and sixty nine. The Giants were second,
Speaker 3: shockingly with two hundred and fifty one catches, so, you know,
Speaker 3: just probably the most perfect landing spot for Davante Adams
Speaker 3: and for his teammates. I mean, Sean McVay sent sent
Speaker 3: Adams supposedly narrated highlight tapes of routes that he'd be running.
Speaker 3: You know, he was like dubbing his voice over, like
Speaker 3: all right, Davante, this is what so he was. Adams
Speaker 3: said he was sold from Jump Street. So this just
Speaker 3: seems like a match made in heaven. I mean, Adams,
Speaker 3: let's see where he's at now. He was kind of going,
Speaker 3: you know, fourth round, but that's gonna be going up
Speaker 3: now right now. He's wide receiver for twenty one, but
Speaker 3: he was definitely more like mid twenties. But he's gonna
Speaker 3: I could see him leap frogging, leap frogging right now.
Speaker 3: He's behind like T Higgins, Terry mcclaurr, and I think
Speaker 3: we might see him, Savi, you're worthy, He's gonna jump
Speaker 3: over him for sure. DJ Moore, I'm liking Adams more
Speaker 3: than those guys now now that he's on the Rams.
Speaker 4: Agreed. I love this landing spot.
Speaker 1: We know that Sean McVay can manufacture targets to his
Speaker 1: receivers unlike really any coach in the NFL, you know,
Speaker 1: and pukin Akua. Honestly, this this might help pokin Akua
Speaker 1: as much as anybody because they needed a better second
Speaker 1: receiver and they didn't have it.
Speaker 4: And while we love the idea of.
Speaker 1: Like the whole offense, like passing offense funneling through Pooka,
Speaker 1: that might have been unsustainable. And so I just you know,
Speaker 1: this could be one of those situations where Pooka is
Speaker 1: better having somebody else on the field that defenders have
Speaker 1: to have to prepare for. Let's go to DK Metcalf,
Speaker 1: who now goes over to the Steelers. They paid a
Speaker 1: second round pick and five years and one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars man. That is the largest contract for
Speaker 1: a non quarterback in the history of the Steelers franchise.
Speaker 1: Brian and DK Metcalf obviously is a special player, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's really like historically there's really not a
Speaker 1: comp for DK Metcalf. But the problem is the production
Speaker 1: really through his entire career and he's now he's it
Speaker 1: was six years in Seattle, production was just okay. He
Speaker 1: was basically a one thousand yard receiver. Most years right
Speaker 1: in that one thousand yard range. His touchdowns for a
Speaker 1: guy his size, Brian, his touchdowns the last three years
Speaker 1: were six eight and last year five. Now you can say,
Speaker 1: all right, well, maybe Seattle didn't use him as well
Speaker 1: as they could have, but is Pittsburgh gonna use him
Speaker 1: any better? Especially when we don't know the quarterback situation,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: With Arthur Smith. Yeah, and Arthur's right right, the most
Speaker 3: head scratchingly friendly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Look, it's tricky. The only quarterback under contract
Speaker 1: right now is Mason Rudolph. They're not going to bring
Speaker 1: back Russell Wilson. You know, Aaron Rodgers as of this
Speaker 1: taping is a is a possibility. But even so, at
Speaker 1: this age of his career, you know, his Aaron Rodgers'
Speaker 1: abilities and his personality are both question marks.
Speaker 3: Although Aaron Rodgers in the AFC North on the Steelers,
Speaker 3: like yeah, I even makes it into like November. It
Speaker 3: just sounds so gross. No part of that offense whatsoever.
Speaker 3: The thing is DK Metcalf for me, Like, I know
Speaker 3: he's a great player, obviously a physical specimen like we
Speaker 3: haven't seen really, but like the one play that I
Speaker 3: can remember from Dk Metcalf is when Gino threw a
Speaker 3: pick on Monday Night Football against the Cardinals and he
Speaker 3: chased it was like Buddha Baker or someone down like
Speaker 3: one hundred yards. You remember that, Like he chased, like yeah,
Speaker 3: that was awesome. Yes, Metcalf based him down all you know,
Speaker 3: you like, yeah, like a twenty yard head start. Basically
Speaker 3: that's what I remember most of dcp's careers at.
Speaker 1: Play, but that which was which was unbelievable. It was
Speaker 1: a credit to him for that. Now, in fairness, Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers just powered DeVonta Adams to fantasy success, as you
Speaker 1: adroitly outlined just moments ago. But Rogers is the best
Speaker 1: case possible scenario at this point for Pittsburgh because after
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, who's not coming back, and Rogers, your available
Speaker 1: free agent quarterbacks are Gardner Minshew and Jamison Winston, both of.
Speaker 3: Whom Will's on the time by Kansas City.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: All right, that makes it Jameis Winston and I don't
Speaker 1: I'm not even positive.
Speaker 3: With the next next Cousins.
Speaker 4: Well it's not available right now, but so.
Speaker 3: They're not going to release Cousins.
Speaker 4: The Falcons doesn't.
Speaker 1: Sound like, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: The Steelers picked twenty one in the draft, so I
Speaker 1: don't think they have a solution coming there. Maybe the
Speaker 1: big winner here is George Pickens, who gets number two coverage.
Speaker 1: He'll get you know second, you know less.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think most of the better most of the defensive
Speaker 1: tension to the passing game is going to go to
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf. So maybe George Pickens ends up a winner here.
Speaker 1: But with the quarterback situation, Arthur Smith and everything else,
Speaker 1: I don't like this for DK Metcalf.
Speaker 3: No, and don't. I don't necessarily like it for Pickens either.
Speaker 3: I think it just it might help him, but just
Speaker 3: because the quarterback situation, like you said, I think it's
Speaker 3: just kind of ye, not too thrilled about it. Twenty
Speaker 3: one that puts them in the Jackson Dart range. Now
Speaker 3: kind of people are saying Jackson darts kind of steam
Speaker 3: in his.
Speaker 1: Way into the quarterbacks always right, Yeah, quarterbacks always do.
Speaker 3: But that's not really going to equate to fantasy success,
Speaker 3: probably in his Brookie year, so it's not really too exciting.
Speaker 1: Hey, speaking of no fantasy success, let's go over to
Speaker 1: Josh Palmer as he goes over to Buffalo.
Speaker 3: Nice segue. Won't spend a ton of time on Josh Palmer,
Speaker 3: but there is one another interesting metric I found on
Speaker 3: Fantasy Points again, Fantasy points data. Palmer's separation score over
Speaker 3: the last two years. He was twenty first of seventy
Speaker 3: nine wide receivers and twelve of seventy seven wide receivers,
Speaker 3: so he can get open. He's had injury history. He
Speaker 3: hasn't been playing on the most electric offenses in the Chargers.
Speaker 3: He missed a lot of last year. But you know,
Speaker 3: he goes to Buffalo. I we don't even mention where
Speaker 3: he's playing. Really, he goes to Buffalo where not a
Speaker 3: ton of competition outside of Khalil Shakir Amari Cooper. We're
Speaker 3: not gonna talk about him on the show because he's
Speaker 3: still a free agent and he's probably not gonna get
Speaker 3: picked up by anybody. But it's really, you know, Khalil
Speaker 3: Shakir Andkean Coleman, but Palmer going into a starting role
Speaker 3: for the Bills. So I'm intrigued. As a late round dart.
Speaker 3: He's an underrated separator, what can you say? So if
Speaker 3: he gets if he stays healthy, stays on the field,
Speaker 3: gets open. He's got a chance to produce with Josh
Speaker 3: Allen a quarterback.
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk goes over to Houston. This is an intriguing
Speaker 1: one to me. Have you seen word intriguing a few
Speaker 1: times and you come up with better word. Houston traded
Speaker 1: for Kirk. It was only a seventh rounder, but to me,
Speaker 1: it's always it always says a little something when you
Speaker 1: give up anything to get a player, and they needed
Speaker 1: they needed one after losing stuff on digs. He had
Speaker 1: the knee and he's also a free agent and TAC
Speaker 1: Tank Dell's possible career ending knee injury.
Speaker 4: Yeah, bad news there.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, it's a it's brutal, way worse than most knee injuries.
Speaker 1: Dislocated knee plus the ACL and some other cls that
Speaker 1: I I don't remember. Is MCL or PCL. Just disaster
Speaker 1: knee injury for Tank Dell. Now, the good news is
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk walks into the best offense of his career,
Speaker 1: and he's got some sneaky upside here. He is a
Speaker 1: slot run. A slot runner. Two thirds of his routes
Speaker 1: over his career have been run from the slot.
Speaker 4: And he'll do that.
Speaker 1: For Houston, Nico Collins will be on the outside. But Brian,
Speaker 1: there's no number three, proven number three receiver on this team.
Speaker 3: No, definitely, it's like a Xavier Hutchinson. Yeah, but blanking
Speaker 3: on John.
Speaker 1: Mitchie, John Mitchie, I mean, which I don't know if
Speaker 1: there's still optimistic about him. I'm not, but maybe, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe they are, and you know, and they might they
Speaker 1: might put some draft equity into the wide receiver position
Speaker 1: as well. But you know, we have seen in the
Speaker 1: past Kirk has been a guy seven or eight targets
Speaker 1: a game, five six catches a game, fifty yards and
Speaker 1: the Rando touchdown here and there. You know, he's like
Speaker 1: one of those guys in Guillotine that you can start
Speaker 1: your first like five weeks with Kristin Kirk. Didn't it
Speaker 1: blew up last year? He was not very good last year,
Speaker 1: but maybe better here in a better offense. Three years
Speaker 1: ago Kirk had eleven hundred yards and eight touchdowns. But
Speaker 1: that was three years ago. He's only twenty eight years old.
Speaker 1: Just not a game changing chat talent. Despite the fact,
Speaker 1: do you remember Christian Kirk was at one point the
Speaker 1: highest paid wide receiver in the league.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just kind of shocked that he went for
Speaker 3: so cheap and to a division like basically like any
Speaker 3: other team that wasn't in the same division as the Jaguars.
Speaker 3: You offer him a seventh, they're probably gonna take that
Speaker 3: over sending him to Houston, right, Yeah, like how there's
Speaker 3: no interest? Like I mean, Kirk would be a nice
Speaker 3: slot option for the Vikings, would he not? I know
Speaker 3: the Vikings on, but I don't know anyway. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: think there's there's I don't think he's a dead cat
Speaker 3: by any means. And you get him a good value
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 4: We've still got it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's gonna be interesting to I think
Speaker 1: he'll be interesting where his ADP drops. I think he'll
Speaker 1: he'll probably be a value there. Brian, let's take a break,
Speaker 1: and when we come back, let's continue with some of
Speaker 1: the free agent wide receiver moves and the white and
Speaker 1: the one tight end move you need to know about.
Speaker 1: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchion and Brian Johnson
Speaker 1: with you.
Speaker 4: Are all right, let's got We've got.
Speaker 1: A few more receivers to get through. Diammy Brown blew
Speaker 1: up in the playoffs and showed us the side of
Speaker 1: him that we'd been waiting to see since he was
Speaker 1: drafted in the third round by Washington. Hits free agency
Speaker 1: and now goes to Jacksonville.
Speaker 3: Yeah, speak of you mentioned his playoff performance two and
Speaker 3: twenty nine yards in three games. He led all wide
Speaker 3: receivers in the in the postseason.
Speaker 4: Wow, okay, yeah.
Speaker 3: Huge postseason for Diami, So I led to a big
Speaker 3: payday going to Jacksonville. Where let's start with last year,
Speaker 3: So Diamie Brown didn't see a ton of targets. But
Speaker 3: speaking to efficiency, we mentioned it before with Palmer, Brown
Speaker 3: was very efficient. His seven point six yards after the
Speaker 3: catch per reception ranked eighth among one hundred and ten
Speaker 3: qualifying wide receivers, and he also first eleven miss tackles
Speaker 3: that would have led all of the Jacksonville Jaguars last year,
Speaker 3: including Brian Thomas Junior. So I'm not saying Brown is
Speaker 3: gonna usurp BTJ as a wide receiver one, but I
Speaker 3: think he's certainly taken the job of Gabe Davis. And
Speaker 3: uh yeah, he's in a very advantageous spot lining up
Speaker 3: opposite of BTJ, who is already elite. So Diami Brown.
Speaker 3: You would get he almost didn't have an ADP in
Speaker 3: terms of twenty round drafts, which are deep drafts. But
Speaker 3: he's climbing heavily now and in an offense that's uh.
Speaker 3: You know, people are excited about the Jaguars offense. Shover
Speaker 3: Warren can say, hello, who.
Speaker 1: Are these people that are excited about the Jaguars?
Speaker 3: Well, I will will betj is he's a first round pick.
Speaker 4: Oh, there's some that is exciting.
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk about the departed in Evan Ingram, but
Speaker 3: you know, Breton Strange, I don't know. This is all
Speaker 3: at cost really outside of inside of BATJ there's a
Speaker 3: there's a the new head coach. I'm blanking on his name,
Speaker 3: but he's you know, was he the Bucks oc and
Speaker 3: the Bucks.
Speaker 4: Had a yeah Liam call?
Speaker 3: Yeah Liam Combs so uh uh? Quarterback of from UMass
Speaker 3: played with Victor Cruz. I don't know, if you.
Speaker 4: Phil, I didn't know he threw to Victor Cruz.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they played together.
Speaker 4: I did not know.
Speaker 1: I did not remember that. I remember Victor Cruz's mariachi moves.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the old salsa Victor Cruz man. He I don't
Speaker 3: want to get into it. But he you know, the
Speaker 3: one they won the Super Bowl. I'm gonna get into
Speaker 3: it now. He got he's got, he got famous, and
Speaker 3: he never matched that Super Bowl a year and just
Speaker 3: fell off a cliff. Basically, he was living it up
Speaker 3: in New York for too long. But anyway, who are
Speaker 3: we talking about? To Aamy Brown? I'm in on Brown.
Speaker 3: Let's see right now.
Speaker 1: Is.
Speaker 3: Uh Miammy Brown wide receiver ninety?
Speaker 1: Dang all right, I get you know, everything's relative to value,
Speaker 1: as you said, and wide receiver ninety.
Speaker 4: I'm intrigued.
Speaker 3: He's right now he's going after Gabe Davis. That's about
Speaker 3: to change. Yeah, we're talking Darius Slayton Leak, Washington, Michael Wilson, Territory,
Speaker 3: Troy Franklin. Yeah, give me, give me Diami Brown there,
Speaker 3: especially in Bestball. You know he's got that that Spike
Speaker 3: Week potential for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 1: There's a you got to pick your spots for for
Speaker 1: him if it's anything like in the past. But if
Speaker 1: he gets regular playing time, which he did not get
Speaker 1: in Washington, Dianmy Brown could be interesting there. I'm a
Speaker 1: little excited about Jacksonville, so I'm gonna recind my snide
Speaker 1: comment from two minutes ago about Jacksonville and especially if
Speaker 1: they decide to go go with Tank.
Speaker 3: That would be yeah. I'll say, you gotta be excited,
Speaker 3: always excited. Thanks could get that Bell cow, I would
Speaker 3: love that.
Speaker 1: Let's talk DeAndre Hopkins briefly. He goes to the Ravens.
Speaker 1: It's a one year deal.
Speaker 3: I you know, look, I'm wide receivers go to die.
Speaker 4: No kidding, isn't that the truth?
Speaker 3: It's the Ravens or the Titans. It's like, yeah, those
Speaker 3: two places where it does Brian Moss Titan.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Titans.
Speaker 1: Those are some epic days for for Hopkins. Like the
Speaker 1: Chiefs last year desperately needed wide receiver production after Rishie
Speaker 1: Rice went down, You'll remember, but they couldn't.
Speaker 4: They didn't.
Speaker 1: They couldn't get it from Hopkins. And you know that
Speaker 1: was with Patrick Mahomes. An offensive desperately needed a wide receiver.
Speaker 1: This is this is a run first Ravens team with
Speaker 1: better receivers on roster and better tight ends on roster.
Speaker 1: Hopkins is going to be an afterthought and I can't
Speaker 1: muster any enthusiasm here. He's gonna be Hopkins is going
Speaker 1: to be on his third team in one calendar year
Speaker 1: and his fourth team in three years. There's a reason
Speaker 1: teams keep giving up on Hopkins. It's it's a borderline
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame career. Maybe not even borderline. He's sitting
Speaker 1: at thirteen thousand receiving yards. It's it's been a tremendous
Speaker 1: career in totality. But this, this move to the Ravens
Speaker 1: does not interest.
Speaker 3: Me at all. Brian. No, he's probably taking Nilson Aguilar's job.
Speaker 3: And that's basically what I'm expecting to get from DeAndre
Speaker 3: Hopkins is Nilson Aguilar.
Speaker 1: Out of every but that's about right out of everybody
Speaker 1: that we talked have talked about on this entire show
Speaker 1: forty plus minutes. The guy who has the best landing
Speaker 1: spot is the one tight end we're going to discuss,
Speaker 1: and that's Evan Ingram who goes to Denver. Brian, I
Speaker 1: love this spot, and I think Sean Payton is an
Speaker 1: ideal coach for him to to to.
Speaker 4: Be paired with.
Speaker 1: And Hevin Ingram is right now as it stands, the
Speaker 1: second best receiver on this team.
Speaker 4: So talk to me about your thoughts.
Speaker 1: See, I want to see if you share the interest
Speaker 1: I've got in Evan Ingram going to Denver.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a uh, you know, the obviously no competition
Speaker 3: at the tight end position as of now for Ingram,
Speaker 3: uh walking into the starting job. I highly doubt that
Speaker 3: the the Broncos are going to draft. There's a few
Speaker 3: enticing tight ends in the draft is here if I
Speaker 3: doubt Denver is gonna go after one now that they've
Speaker 3: signed Ingram. Yeah, you know the thing? Sorry, I think
Speaker 3: with Denver, though Peyton does seem like the perfect coach,
Speaker 3: He's got this like joker role that hasn't he hasn't
Speaker 3: been able to fill and supposedly Ingram is going to
Speaker 3: fill that. Uh. I guess he hasn't had the joker
Speaker 3: role if it's a tight end, because over the last
Speaker 3: two years, Denver tight ends have been dead last and
Speaker 3: targets under Sean Payton, so that needs to change. But uh,
Speaker 3: Ingram certainly more exciting than Greg Dolci, who is never healthy,
Speaker 3: and I'm every other Denver tight end over the last
Speaker 3: Tew year is very forgettable. So yeah, Ingram is was
Speaker 3: the one really big name tight end out there. He's
Speaker 3: found there there's no other tight ends waiting in the wind.
Speaker 3: Really it's it's all Angram. So he's definitely got a
Speaker 3: bump and value. I think we'll see him going let's
Speaker 3: see right now he is. He was kind of outside
Speaker 3: the top ten and he still is. He's tight end sixteen.
Speaker 3: But that's going up. That's gonna go off.
Speaker 4: I kind of go a lot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he'll be sniffing that top top ten range.
Speaker 4: Yep, right in that range.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think Djoku, Tucker Craft, Dalton Kincaid, Colston Loveland is
Speaker 3: in that range. He's one of the rookies, the aforementioned rookies. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Tyler Warren, Colton Loveland, two rookies and early early top
Speaker 3: twelve tight ends adb.
Speaker 1: There's no there's no buddy else on Denver at the
Speaker 1: tight end position to give him any trouble. Adam Trautman
Speaker 1: and Lucas Krawl and Nate Adkins.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: And that's yeah.
Speaker 1: So I'm really optimistic about about what and Ingram has
Speaker 1: the opportunity to do.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 1: It felt like he was you know, we know he
Speaker 1: can be highly productive because he has been, and I
Speaker 1: think he goes right back to being them and Ingram
Speaker 1: that we saw a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4: And I'm excited for that.
Speaker 3: Get get a little up there in age thirty one,
Speaker 3: I believe older than I thought.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he didn't do much for a long time, right,
Speaker 1: so I feel like, you know, we were waiting and waiting,
Speaker 1: and this happens with tight ends, right where they take
Speaker 1: a while to develop. Those first few years were pretty
Speaker 1: meager for him, and then he had then he had that.
Speaker 1: He had a relative breakout season in a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago with Jacksonville when he posted almost a thousand yards,
Speaker 1: and you know, everything changed for him. So yeah, well see,
Speaker 1: hopefully good things coming from Evan ingram In. Oh that'll
Speaker 1: be his gosh, that'll be his ninth. This is ninth
Speaker 1: season coming out. Brian, Dude, it's a little Yeah, that's sneaky.
Speaker 4: Thirty years old.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe we're just getting old. You know, it's never old.
Speaker 1: It's Fantasy Football Weekly, Brian. No, No, these never get old.
Speaker 1: We've been doing this for thirty years. Not one of
Speaker 1: them have felt old. O. They're all they're all fresh,
Speaker 1: new and exciting.
Speaker 4: And we'll be.
Speaker 3: Speaking of old though. We should. Just some old the
Speaker 3: players unsigned as of this recording that are out there,
Speaker 3: Amari Cooper, Keenan Allen Cooper, cup Stefan Diggs. Not as old.
Speaker 3: Those are wide receivers. Nick Chubb still unsigned running back.
Speaker 3: I'd like to say I think Nick Chubb's got a
Speaker 3: little left in the tank. I think I'd like to
Speaker 3: see where he ends up. Definitely old. The quarterback, Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson, they're still out there, but those
Speaker 3: are the names out there. JK. Dobbins, he's out there
Speaker 3: running back.
Speaker 4: That's about it.
Speaker 3: We're almost, We're almost. We're ready for the draft. Almost ready.
Speaker 3: We got some episodes with Thor coming up right, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Too, Yeah, we're yep.
Speaker 1: We're gonna break down, break down all the positions with
Speaker 1: Thor for most of the rest of marching into April.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're gonna get a lot smarter about the
Speaker 1: rookie class coming up in future reps.
Speaker 4: So it's a Fantasy Football Weekly. Thanks for listening, everybody. Brian,
