00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: Greetings and welcome. The gang is back. NFL Fantasy Live

2
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: Free Agency Special Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano, Adam Rank, Marcus

3
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 1: Grant all set to get you ready for free agency.

4
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna see some big names change places. What are

5
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: the best fits? Who are the best guys that you

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: can target after this first wave of free agency that

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna start with some of the stuff that's been

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: in the news the last couple of days leading up

9
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: to free agency and number one big deal, Richard Mendenhall

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: retires from the National Football League and while he's talking

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: about going off and writing and doing a lot of

12
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: different things, Bruce arians has said they're gonna build the

13
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: offense now around. Andre Ellington also says Carson Palmer can

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: play until he's thirty seven, thirty eight years old in

15
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: his prime. FABS, what do you make of the values

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: of both these guys going forward? Well, Number one, I

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: don't like that men In Hall blamed fantasy football partially

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: for his retirement. He blamed dancing with the starters. It

19
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: was that was that was the big thing that segment

20
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: on f l AM he said, is why that's the

21
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: takeaway from the With that being said, a. Mendenhall's popularity

22
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: was pretty big, in part because of fantasy football when

23
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: he had that huge season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. But

24
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: this is great news for Andre Ellington and his potential

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: next season. I've already got him ranked in my top

26
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: twenty among running backs for two thousand and fourteen. He's versatile,

27
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: he's too small to be a true featured back, so

28
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: it's not like he's gonna be O. J. Anderson. But

29
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is he's going to see

30
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: an increase in touches. He's going to be an RV

31
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: two both in standard in PPR leagues. All right, how

32
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: about Carson Palmer? Reckan, this is this is the case, Harvard.

33
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: Every time we turned, we turned the page on the guy.

34
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: You look at the end of the year and you go, well,

35
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: you know, we had a pretty decent season overall, Kenny.

36
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: You know, now another year in this offense with arians

37
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: and maybe some more weapons in hand, can he become

38
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: fantasy really relevant. It was a decent season, but if

39
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: you play in any sort of fantasy league where you

40
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: are losing points for interceptions, that Carson Palmer is not

41
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: going to be the guy for you. I'm not sure

42
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna change. You know, they're gonna continue to throw

43
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: the ball deep. Even when the year Andy Luck was

44
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: with Bruce Arians, he threw a lot of interceptions as well.

45
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: And it's just the way his offense is designed is

46
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: that they're going deep a lot. They're gonna make some interceptions,

47
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: are gonna make some mistakes. Carson Palmer is still gonna

48
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: be a backup quarterback, maybe a bye week replacement and

49
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: injury replacement, but not somebody you can count on week

50
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: in and week out to lead your fantasy team. All right, now,

51
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: you mentioned Andrew Luck and the Colts, and that's where

52
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna go next year with the chem Knicks, who

53
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: says he could be a great fit. He said he

54
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: is the missing link for many teams, including the Colts,

55
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: the Panthers, or the Charges. So I say to you,

56
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant, because you have no James Jones news yet

57
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: to get to, So I say to you, best fit

58
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: for him in fantasy Colts, Panthers, Charges, if these are

59
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: his preferred teams, I think the best fit of the Chargers.

60
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: I think you know what I would love to see

61
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: that love to see Eric decker Land with the Colts,

62
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: I think he'd be a great parent you put him there,

63
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: especially with Reggie Wayne healthy, t Y Hilton back. But

64
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: for hackem Knicks, the idea of having him line up

65
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: opposite Keenan Allen in that offense with Philip Rivers throwing

66
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: the ball um, I just feel like he's a much

67
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: better fit for that offense. I don't know that how

68
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: Kim Nicks is going to be a number one receiver anymore.

69
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: I think it was kind of questionable if he was.

70
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: Even with the Giants, he and Crews worked together very well.

71
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: But I think with Alan kind of being the wave

72
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: of the future and that that offense and least in

73
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: the passing game, to add Nixon, there's a veteran presence

74
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: to kind of take some pressure off of him, and

75
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: then especially if they can figure out that tight in

76
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: spite it probably won't be Gates, it will probably be

77
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: Ladarius Green going forward. I think that's a really solid

78
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: group right there. Kim Nicks, we we say he lands

79
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: on a team, He's probably not gonna be a number

80
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: one guy anymore, but he's gonna land in a team

81
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: that's gonna give him an opportunity where you draft him.

82
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: He's not going to be more than a three for me,

83
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: and probably more of a borderline three or four. But

84
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: again it depends on where he ends up. I think

85
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: Carolina is a good fit. Steve Smith is long in

86
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: the tooth. He went to the University of North Carolina,

87
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: and that would be a place where he could potentially flourish.

88
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: Good quarterback understander, Cam Newton, good tight end there in

89
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen and in up and coming offense. And Brandon

90
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: Lafel is a free agent, so it looks like he

91
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: could be gone from Carolina. So I like Nix and Carolina.

92
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: But this year, and and I'll say it a million

93
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: times before the kickoff of the season, is all about

94
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: upside for me and really sort of restricting risk, and

95
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: drafting Hakim Nicks to be anything more than your three

96
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: or four is restricting risk. I thought you're gonna say,

97
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it a million times. You're gonna remind

98
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: us that you want a championship with Matt Moore two

99
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: years ago, as just started a quarterback. I did do that.

100
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: I could have won a quarter but could have won

101
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: one with Gino Smith, which is you didn't have the

102
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: guts to start him. By the way, Gino Smith was

103
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: one of the better quarterbacks in fantasy the last four

104
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: or five weeks of two thousand and thirteen. I don't

105
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: know who he's gonna throw the football too, nots Emmanuel

106
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: Sanders maybe. Now this is just a primer. Let you know.

107
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: Right now, we have our big show coming up. Our

108

Speaker 1: need to know as players start landing and as we

115
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: move forward. Now we move forward here ranking the Titans

116
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: say they're shopping Chris Johnson. Of course they're looking for

117
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: they're looking for a trade partner, because I say, we

118
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: don't want this guy anymore. Nobody wants that contract. No, No,

119
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: they're not gonna find one. No, so they'll be stuck.

120
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: What he is Is this finally the year? Do you say,

121
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson, I'm done with you entirely? Or is there

122
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: still value for him. For you, Well, it depends on

123
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 1: which team he's gonna end up with. Maybe the Birds

124
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: we were just talking about just a moment ago with

125
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: Richard men in Hall retiring, Arizona is going to be

126
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: in the mix, and one of those other teams, maybe Denver,

127
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: who knows. Maybe you know, there's just a number of

128
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: different scenarios that you could look at and see where

129
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson would end up. So again, if he ends

130
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: up in the right situation, I would take a chance

131
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: on him. I mean, as bad as he was at times,

132
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: he's still valuable, is a a number two running back.

133
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: So I'm not ready to the door on him just yet.

134
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer, Yes, Chris Johnson, No, you shut that door

135
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: like in the in the cartoons and Mickey Mouse shoots

136
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: the tax out of his mouth. You have closed that

137
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: door so close it. Yeah, you know, I mean, you know,

138
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: anytime I run into Carson Palmer and who's fish tacos here?

139
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: You know, and and Southern, it's kind of awkward. Oh

140
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: buy him, buy him, like you know, I bought him

141
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: a diet pepsi one time. So no hard feelings, you know,

142
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: it's nothing personal, just can't afford his own but just

143
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: not well, now he owns his Yeah, it's the gesture,

144
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: you know, that's what it is. It's it's a classy move.

145
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: You know. I look, we may be adversaries in the

146
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: imaginary world of fantasy football, but you know what, I'm

147
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: not above buying you a diet pepsi And what did

148
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: he say? So? Thank you? Wow? And then get that

149
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: on tape. Next time we talked a little Rancho Santa

150
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: Margarita football and I had a good time. All right, Well, see,

151
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: you can even make friends with your enemies. You would

152
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: be a great money We're not enemies, that's the whole thing.

153
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: Have no but in your mind and on the show

154
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: your enemies. It's not it's k fabe. It's a it's

155
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: a cafe, a rivalry. Like when you see the Iron

156
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: Cheek and hacks On Jim dugg and are pulled over.

157
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: You're like, wait a minute, they're friends, Beautiful Bobby Eaton's

158
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,679
Speaker 1: having a drink with Ricky Morton down in the Forum club.

159
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: That ruined my life, by the way, I got this

160
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: guy just threatened to kill me because I was supporting

161
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: you guys, And now you're here drinking in the Forum club.

162
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: True story. Well you're not getting this with a chair

163
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: over the head, are you know? I was still a

164
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: little I was a youngster, so I was I was okay,

165
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: all right, you've learned, you've picked, You've picked up from there,

166
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: picked your But yeah you realize, oh way, these guys

167
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: are actors, but they're good ones. Look, hey, you look.

168
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Mallett has been acting like a backup quarterback the

169
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: last couple of years. Too soon, a little bit, a

170
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: little bit Marcus. If Ryan Mallett winds up going to

171
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: the Texans who like him and right now there's a

172
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: little bit of cat and mouse going on with how

173
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: much they would give up or whatever it would be,

174
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: or what their actual interest is. Ryan Mellick goes to Houston.

175
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: Houston decides in the draft they're gonna go Jadaveon Clowney

176
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: and put him next to J. J. Watt. What's Mallett's

177
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: value for you? Is he is? He? Is? He a

178
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: lowed to do? You draft him as he too with upside?

179
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: What is it? I'm not drafting Ryan Mallett. I mean,

180
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: this is a guy who, if I've not mistaken, has

181
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: all of four career passes in the National Football League,

182
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: but they were good ones. One of those was intercepted,

183
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: so three of them were So three of them were

184
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: of them. There you go. You know, he is so

185
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: much of an unknown quantity that I just can't take

186
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: the chance on him. And you look at what's around him.

187
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: Arian Foster is coming back off of injury. He has

188
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: been just so heavily used over the last few years.

189
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson still has something left, but he's definitely on

190
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: the back end of his career. DeAndre Hopkins is still

191
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: kind of young and up and coming. They're just there

192
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: are too many question marks in the Houston offense to

193
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: plug in Ryan Mallett and think he's going to immediately

194
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: jump in there and be a fantasy contributor. So I'm

195
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: leaving him alone, leaving him on the waiver wire. If

196
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: he gets hot early in the season, maybe I take

197
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: a look at him, but I'm not drafting him alright.

198
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: One other news item to get to before he started

199
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: breaking down the positions, mark Ingram very sided that he

200
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: could be the guy now in New Orleans with the

201
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: uh parting of the ways with Darren Sprawls, possibly Pierre

202
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: Thomas as well. Fabbs. We've seems like we've been waiting

203
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: for mark Ingram every year and he shows a little

204
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: bit of glimpse, a little bit of glimpse here and there.

205
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: If it's finally a mark Ingram backfield, could be Ingram

206
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: and Robinson combination. There where do you wind up drafting him?

207
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: I don't trust Ingram. I really don't. He's had three

208
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: years in the National Football League where he's done nothing. Okay,

209
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: this is a guy who if you remember back to

210
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: that game against the Dallas Cowboys, he had a huge game.

211
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: I believe he had a hundred forty five rushing yards,

212
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown, showed some real potential running backs, scored over

213
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: sixty fantasy points, which is more fantasy points in mark

214
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: Ingram scored all season long. If you want to take

215
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: a chance on a Saint's running back, it's gonna be Robinson.

216
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: To me, it's not mark Ingram. Ingram isn't a contract here.

217
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: But listen, I don't care. If mark Ingram was this good,

218
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have been sitting behind Pierre Thomas and behind

219
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Sprawls for the last three years in New Orleans.

220
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: He is what he is. Robinson's the guy to go

221
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: get what's gonna be interesting to me here? Well, you're

222
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: waiting how long for Robinson Robinson's It depends on which

223
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: people is still a member of this backfield right now

224
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: you can. But if if Robinson people are gonna take Robin,

225
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: gonna take Robinson, it's gonna be somewhere no earlier earlier

226
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: than Robinson. People will take Ingram early Robinson. They shouldn't be, Yeah,

227
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: they shouldn't be. Neither one of these guys should come

228
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: off of the board until the late part of the

229
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: middle rounds and Robinson maybe middle rounds. But what's more

230
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: interesting to me is is Sean Payton really gonna go

231
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: to an offense that's more balanced? Uh, we're talking about

232
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: a guy who over the last four games had thirty

233
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: plus carries per game on average, which was up six

234
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: or seven carries over the previous fourteen weeks. So you're

235
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: looking at a team that could be transitioning to more

236
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: of a running game with Drew Brees under center. I

237
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: don't know, well that to see what happens. I know

238
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: they're hurt. No wide receiver right now. Lance Moore is gone,

239
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham is probably gonna hold out unless something happens.

240
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: So that's a question. Mark Marcus Colston is is getting

241
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: up there in age. They've got Kenny Stills. Okay, But

242
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: is the Saints offense gonna change? Is Drew Brees is

243
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: gonna remain the top five fantasy quarterback in this offense.

244
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: So you're nervous about Drew Brees. I'm not nervous. I'm

245
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: interested to see what happens. I'm not worried about Drew Brees.

246
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: A better question is can you count on any Saints

247
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: skill position players not named Jimmy Grahamy That's always been

248
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: the issue the last few years, is that you know

249
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: Graham's gonna get the football. Beyond that, it's I call

250
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: it wide receiver roulette. You didn't know from week to

251
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: week if it was gonna be Marcus Colston or Kenny

252
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: Stills or Lance More the occasional Robert Mitchum touchdown. I mean,

253
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: these kind of things just kind of pop up, and

254
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: regardless of the shuffling they're doing with that roster, it's

255
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: it's still an issue of how many of these guys

256
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: can you trust to give you consistent production every week?

257
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: Hype for a high powered offense, they were the most frustrating,

258
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: but like, at least with the Broncos, you could pretty

259
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: much start anybody and outside you know, and everybody would

260
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 1: pretty much score. But with the Saints, you're like, no, alright, cool,

261
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: like brazes it and that and that's it. There's nobody

262
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: else you can really trust. And I don't expect that

263
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: to change. All right, So you know there's some of

264
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: the big news items over the last couple of days. Again,

265
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: don't forget. Thursday night, nine pm Eastern on NFL Network

266
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: six pm Pacific are Big NFL Fantasy Live Free Agency

267
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: Special again if you can't wait, seven pm Eastern on

268
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: NFL dot com. All let's take a look at the

269
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: big skill positions now as far as free agency goes,

270
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: and we'll start at quarterbacks. And what we kind of

271
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: have to start doing about we kind of have to

272
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: it is we use It's written in by law, it's

273
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: into my contract right here. You gotta start with quarterbacks.

274
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: It's a pretty weak crop in free agency. You know,

275
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: you have the Michael Vicks, the match jobs the world

276
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: who may wind up changing teams. Josh McCown is interested

277
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: in a couple of different teams. So let's do this.

278
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: If they sign with a team to be a starter.

279
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: Any of these free agency guys, guys are gonna be

280
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: out there. Who is your top guy for fantasy value?

281
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: Who who's fantasy about increases the most when he signed

282
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: somewhere to be a start? Effects who's your guy, Michael Vick?

283
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: Because you don't sound very sound. I'm not thrilled about it.

284
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: It's one of those situations where he's got that ability

285
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: to run with the football and not shop. Does he

286
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: excite you more than Michael Vick? Josh McCown. I mean,

287
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: Josh McCann was good in Trustman's offense. Put him someplace else.

288
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: See what he does. Does he end up being the

289
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: starter for the New York Jets, which anything could happen,

290
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: which who knows? But no, Michael Vick and I don't

291
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: even want Vick. If Vick is a starter, say for

292
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders, for example, or Minnesota Adrian Peterson, he

293
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: would intently make them apply to draft him. Is more

294
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: than two and I may not want to draft him

295
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: regardless because there's gonna be a lot of youth at

296
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: that position with Johnny Manzel coming in uh and some

297
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: of a couple of day the kids Bridgewater to guys

298
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: who are going to be able to run with the football. Remember,

299
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: there's a difference between being good on the field and

300
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: winning games on the field and being good in fantasy

301
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: and win in games and fantasy. Tim Tebow and Terrell

302
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: Prior the two most glaring examples. Just let me ask

303
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: you this, what would your pecking order be? Then you

304
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: have man'zelle, Bridgewater, Bordles, likely Jimmy Garoppolo could wind up

305
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: sneaking up higher as the draft goes in. Where would

306
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: you take? Which of those guys? Did you take Vic

307
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: ahead of? Uh? You take all those guys? Really depends

308
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: on where they end up. To be quite honest, man'zell

309
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: I would take ahead of Vic. There's no doubt about that.

310
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: No doubt about that. Bridgewater. We'll see if these guys

311
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: are in line to start, and that's that that that's

312
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: a different conversation. If someone is brought in to sit

313
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: behind a veteran for a year or two, which typically

314
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: doesn't happen right now at this stage of the NFL,

315
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: it could change, but we'll see what happened. I want

316
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: to go back to your Tim Tebow Terrell Prior comment there,

317
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: which which of those two, were they the good on

318
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: the field or the good in fantasy, because I'm trying

319
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: to figure that one out good in fantasy sporadically. Tim

320
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: Tebow was a top twelve quarterback in fantasy when he

321
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: was the guy, and then his production was so s

322
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean, but it doesn't matter though. The point of

323
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: the point here is that he's not a good but

324
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: it kind of argument about top twelve production, right, But

325
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: our argument about st skill position players is that they

326
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: don't give you consistent production. It's sporadic. So not sporadic.

327
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: He gave you sixteen points every week at a minimum,

328
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: was good every week. He was good, but he had

329
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: some looked back at the numbers. He looked back at

330
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: the numbers, so you weren't. You were drafting him as

331
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: a one. There a magic box telephonic thing. This is

332
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: what I would want to advent. Like you go to it,

333
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: like I don't know, like a box. It looks like

334
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: a TV screen. You type in something like Tim Tebow stats,

335
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: and then it would just come up like not just one,

336
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: but like a whole bunch of things. You could look at,

337
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: you know what, and then like pages of it. Somebody

338
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: should get on them. By the way, though you were

339
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: you were talking about uh, Michael Vick and Adrian Peterson

340
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: and they resigned. Mac. What's Matt Castle gonna say when

341
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: he sees Adrian Peterson, bro like, were we winning many

342
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: playoff games with you? And anybody? Still me? Sorry buddy,

343
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: sorry to ruin your day, but I'm still here. I

344
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: would tweet that to him, like, yeah, sorry, sorry if

345
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: this is gonna be weird, but uh, I would you

346
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: know what? I would tweet to Lashawn McCoy and I

347
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: would be like, Hey, Lashawn, you and me, we would

348
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: be a playoff team in Minnesota. That's what I would do.

349
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: That would be so awesome. If only there was a

350
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: way to do that, a way to to reach out

351
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: to athletes on some kind of same box type advice.

352
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: You know, we're at least ten years away from that

353
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: technology now. If you are a frequent listener to the

354
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Lot podcast, you know that our producer Dylan

355
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: Milner likes to get in with his thoughts. Sometimes normally

356
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: he waits until we mentioned the San Francisco forty nine is,

357
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: or at least geographically we get somewhere close to San Francisco.

358
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: But you have something extra special for us here. Well,

359
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: I was just wanting to chime in on the Michael

360
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: Vick discussion about his unreliability. He hasn't finished a sixteen

361
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: game season since when was it two thousand six or something.

362
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: I mean, he's about as reliable as HBO go is.

363
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: Getting through a whole h series season finale of True Detective. Yeah, wow,

364
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: too soon. Sorry, it just happened. So if they're just listening,

365
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: here's what happened. No, no, no, no stop. Mike Vick

366
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: turns out in the finale. It's crazy. He makes a cameo.

367
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: He's the Yellow King, He's the Yellow Feeling breaking news

368
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: and report reporting. Michael Vick just signed with the car

369
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: Cosa Kings. I don't know what, dare you. They'll run

370
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: the football lot, yes, but I don't know what any

371
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: of that means because I got through about the first

372
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: five minutes of the show last night, season one or

373
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: episode one, so I'm getting there slowly. But you prep

374
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: your prep. Whether they take Cohl or Martia. The True

375
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: Detective only Fantasy League didn't want too much, too so

376
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: you'll be done by season three. You know that that's

377
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: enough time to get through one McConaughey. And what happens

378
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: is the time is a flat circle and it circles back,

379
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: and we're going to continue. Can I get another beer?

380
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: Can I continue? I'm gonna make My goal is to

381
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: be Matthew McConaughey, the burnout rust during the fantasy draft,

382
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: where we're just making a little tin men, illuminum men

383
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: with uh lone star tall boys, just waxing soliloquies just

384
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: to confuse everybody during the draft. But then I nab

385
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: all the good players when they're not expecting it. So

386
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: that's I'm going into next season two Detectives. Did anybody

387
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: call those pounders? Nobody called those pounders because they're sixteen

388
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: ounces tallboys are called them pounders. I'm like, that's the

389
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: coolest name. Hors Light used to have this. It used

390
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: to say sixteen and then it would say O Z

391
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: for ounce in small lighters, and it would say pounder,

392
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: so it would look like it would say sixteen, you know,

393
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: although I didn't actually outside of true Detective have a

394
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: small bit of news from the defensive end front from

395
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: all you I d P fanatics. Jason Babin voids his contract.

396
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: He is now a free agent, leaving the Jaguars and

397
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: Michael Bennett resigns with the Seattle Seaharks. No, that means

398
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: less money for Richard Sherman coming up in a couple

399
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: of years. Well, what's terrible. So if you're really hoping

400
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: for a sleeper defensive end I d P Offseason Chat,

401
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: you're in the right place, buddy. That's your podcast goes

402
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: up when later on this week, right, Dylan, Yes, okay,

403
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: very good. Only in the northern California region is it

404
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: available to download. Let's we'll just go out and we'll

405
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: nail the IDPs. All right, let's move on from I

406
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: d P S two running backs for a few minutes. Here,

407
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: there's some big name running backs. It could be changing

408
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: teams with the value some of these guys, the names

409
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: are passed their prime. But the number one guy on

410
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: everybody's list is gonna be Bentate. He's been waiting for

411
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: this chance for a long time, rank and he's excited.

412
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: Someone's gonna give him a lot of money, whether it's

413
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: Cleveland somewhere else, beent. Tate signs the number one running back,

414
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: second round pick, early third, Where do you go with him?

415
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: Could be? But the market for bent Taid is going

416
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: to be less than what he anticipates. It's gonna because

417
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: nobody wants to spend money on running backs anymore. And

418
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: even though Ben Tate has had some good games during

419
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: during his brief NFL career, I don't see him being

420
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: a big time running back. My sneaky, my sneaky pick

421
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. He goes in and takes on

422
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: la Garrett Blunt's role because he's a free agent. I

423
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: like that. And then it'll be in New England, and

424
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: then of course then then there'll be WI Yeah, that'll

425
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 1: be worthless, and everybody was excited. I got bent take, like, yeah,

426
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: that would be a worst case scenario for Ben Tate.

427
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: Best case scenario would be Cleveland, my Emmy, somewhere like that.

428
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: But he's going to be able to be the Bell Cow.

429
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: But is he gonna Is he gonna be a guy

430
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: that's gonna get all those Is he suddenly going to

431
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: get twenty five carries a game because he's never had

432
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: that carries a game is rare for most running backs

433
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: these days. So I'm saying more of in the neighborhood

434
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: of like eighteen to twenty two touches in a game.

435
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: Maybe on a team that already has a scat back,

436
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: a third down back somewhere, someone like that. You also

437
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: have to worry about bent takes their ability because he

438
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: has been the most durable running back in the National

439
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: Football League. He's shown flashes. I like the upside there.

440
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: He's an RB two type again, assuming that he ends

441
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: up on a team that's going to give him a

442
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: chance to be at least close to a feature back.

443
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: The Giants have been rumored as one of the teams

444
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: he could go to, but I think he fumbles too

445
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: much for Tom Conflin. They don't have anybody the last

446
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: couple of years who was fumbled a lot, so this

447
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: will be a nice change of pace for him. Yeah,

448
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: that backfield that You've got a lot of question marks

449
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: there because Henri Browns a free agent. David Wilson supposedly

450
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: was ahead of schedule, but I mean he had spinal fusion.

451
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: Character you can't the guy. I'd like to see no

452
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: Sean Morino go there, but I don't know if that's

453
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: going to happen realistically. But if you've had no Sean

454
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: Marino in that batfield, the guy who can catch the

455
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: ball in the backfield he's a good pass protector. He'd

456
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: be a really nice fit fantasy wise. Wouldn't be as

457
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: good as he as uh in Denver, but he'd be

458
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: a nice fit there. I just don't see that happening.

459
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: No Sean is gonna find that the market for him

460
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: is going to be very soft. No Sean is one

461
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: of those guys that I really worry about going into

462
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: next year. Just yeah, I felt like he played over

463
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: his head a lot this past season, and in part

464
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: because Peyton was so good in that offense and Denver

465
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: was so good that I mean, even best case scenario,

466
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: if he were back in Denver, I don't know that

467
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: he would have that same kind of production this year.

468
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: And to have him leave and go somewhere else, I'd

469
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: be like, he is really right. Numbers, His numbers are

470
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: almost guaranteed to fall, even if he stayed in Denver,

471
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: which would be a shock at this point. Guaranteed to fall. Well, yeah,

472
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: because look at the end of last year, no matter

473
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,479
Speaker 1: what Monty Ball did, whether he ran well or fumbled,

474
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: he was still getting carry at the end. So you think, okay,

475
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: Marina warred down a little bit. Even if he goes back,

476
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: his value goes down. But you look at last year,

477
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: the guy was never the guy wasn't even drafted the

478
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: most leagues, and now at least you're looking at a

479
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: huge jump up. I said mostly. I didn't say all leagues.

480
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: I said most leagues who drafted No Sean and back

481
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: to back Jack's has won the Expert League. Again, keep

482
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: doubting him. That's the one thing I I'm happy. Let's

483
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: let's talk down No Sean Marina. I'll be happy to.

484
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: I'll be happy to making another twelfth round pick on

485
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: him or something. We'll see what happens. Maybe you'll go

486
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: to the Burg. I'm gonna put every running back we

487
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: talked about in Arizona. Darnell Dockett, did you see that

488
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: all rant? He went on on Twitter where he basically said,

489
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: all the free agents they're coming to Arizona like they're

490
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: all retired, like everybody's retiring. Watch spring training balls, Dylan

491
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: go to um go to Reggie Bush's Twitter. He posted

492
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: a picture of what looks like him at the dentist

493
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: and that looks kind of nasty. Is he going Arizona

494
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: or something? That he's going to? The Birds were guy,

495
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: So I figured you'd enjoy that picture his last picture

496
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: on Twitter A little little strange. Yes, he's at the

497
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: dentist Yeah, good one. So the dentist only selfie league

498
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: is Reggie bush Value our first ever dentist only selfie

499
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: I would then then I would take David after dentists

500
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: he would be and then then I'm looking for yeah

501
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: kind of Michael Strahan wouldn't do well in that league. Wow,

502
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: why got that big gap? Yes, but that's not a

503
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: dentist thing. Is a dentist thing. He could have gotten

504
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: that fixed. This is the closest they could have got

505
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: my teeth together, suckers closer together to I know the

506
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: technology is better now, but back then it was just

507
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: we'll put that head of hers in a vice. We'll

508
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: get him right close together. Device is too big. I

509
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: got my hat sizes like seven or three quarters. They

510
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: don't have the vice that that fits for that. We'll

511
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: get you a vice. All iTunes just crashed with the

512
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: amount of down on loses is getting There's a lot

513
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: of people in northern California. Can we check our bounce right?

514
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: Go go bounce right, everybody, Hey, Marc, As you mentioned

515
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: Darren Sprawls and and the the uncertainty in the Saints backfield.

516
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: Now he's an ex Saint. Wherever he goes, he's gonna

517
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: be a big part of the equation in the in

518
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: the running game and passing game. But he's not going

519
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: to be a Saint anymore, Which how much what does

520
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: that do to his value? It drops significantly. Last year

521
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: was kind of a disappointment for Darren Sprawls as it

522
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: was he at this point in his career is a

523
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: third down back. That is the extent of what you're

524
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: gonna get out of Darren Sprawls, And he's not a

525
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: guy you're going to handle the football too, So you've

526
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: got to hope he lands in a place where they

527
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: are prone to throwing the ball out of the backfield

528
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: and making him part of that equation. I he's a

529
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: guy that I would wait a long long time on.

530
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: I mean, I immediately think I'm trying to think of, like,

531
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: you know who he would kind of, you know, equate to.

532
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: But it's just that he was so such a good

533
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: fit with New Orleans and what they do, and because

534
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 1: his skill set, or at least of the way he's

535
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: been used throughout his career, is so limited, it really

536
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: shrinks the number of teams he can go to and

537
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: be a Fantasy contributor next year. So if Darren Sprawls

538
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: winds up someplace where they promise him more than the

539
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: third down roll a little bit more here you're gonna play,

540
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: They give the ball more than the zero times a

541
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: game he got it basically last year with New Orleans.

542
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: Still not still not saying okay and up take a

543
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: little bit for him now at this point, I mean,

544
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: I just don't know that he's a guy who's going

545
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: to carry the ball. I mean, he isn't necessarily known

546
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: for being like an edge rusher. He's certainly not a

547
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: guy that you're going to run between the tackles, even

548
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: if he's on the field for more than just third downs.

549
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: I haven't seen enough, especially in recent years, to believe

550
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: that he can he can get it done. From that standpoint,

551
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: how about if he ends up in Houston as the

552
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: third down back spelling area and foster in Bill O'Brien's offense.

553
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: Not saying that that could happen, but it's interesting. It's interesting.

554
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: I still don't know how high I am on him,

555
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: just especially with Houston being so uncertain about their quarterbacks,

556
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: but talking about Ryan Mallett possibly being that guy next

557
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: year and didn't really get me right. That sprows his

558
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 1: arrow is pointing down. Al Right, two other guys whose

559
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: arrows are pointing down but still could potentially point up

560
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: with bounce back years. M j D, Darren McFadden. You

561
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: can trust one of those guys for this season? Fabs,

562
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: who is it? Well, I want my guy to play

563
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: and not be in the trainers room. Okay, so I'm

564
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: going unless you get points for that. Maurice Jones Drew.

565
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: Maurice Jones Drew had a lot of carries, uh over

566
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: the last four or five seasons, not counting when he

567
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: was hurt in two thousand and twelve. But McFadden, I mean,

568
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: he can't stay healthy. He's proven it. He's never played

569
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: sixteen games. When you're comparing McFadden m j D to

570
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: McFadden and you say, boy, m j D is the

571
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: healthy one, you gotta look at the more talented if

572
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: m j D. Uh, sorry, if McFadden was going to

573
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: give fourteen games, it would definitely be Darren McFadden. But

574
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: you can't get that from him. You just can't get

575
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: that from him. You can't trust him at this point

576
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: in his career. Again, talent wise, it's McFadden, but I

577
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: don't trust him. Right, Where do you go with these

578
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: guys draftwise? McFadden goes to the Cardinals. I mean the

579
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: Cardinals love that. That would be huge, That would be agree,

580
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: That would be a dream backfield of guys who could

581
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: be like you can combine them for like a sixteen

582
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: game season where it would be perfect. You're kind of

583
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: like when you're talking about like James Jones and use

584
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: Knicks doesn't score touchdowns and all James Jones does touchdowns.

585
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: You put those two guys together on one team. You

586
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: get Hakim Knicks between the twenties, James Jones in the

587
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: red zone boom, just solve San Diego's problem super Bowl,

588
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: or you just tape them together and then Nicks team Jones. Yeah,

589
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: I'm down. I'm down. And the cool thing about McFadden too,

590
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: is that he'll go somewhere else. Maybe it's a trainer problem,

591
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: maybe it was playing on that field in Oakland, who

592
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: knows what it was. Obviously hasn't been healthy for his

593
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: entire career. But if he goes to some team and

594
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: you know what, he's gonna drop in your draft boards

595
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: and nobody. People are gonna avoid him just because he

596
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: has that history of injury. But once you've already filled

597
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: out your first couple of running backs, there a crapshoot. Anyways,

598
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: all these guys get hurt, Like, yeah, I'll take a

599
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: chance on the on the on the on the talent.

600
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: I guess he would say, you know, four four, maybe

601
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: even a three like we tried last year to make

602
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: him a flex guy. Didn't quite work out, but you know, again,

603
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: the potentials there, I'll give him a shot. I think

604
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: a guy with a lesser name that you need to

605
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: watch out for his rashand Jennings he averaged I believe

606
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: it was four point six yards per carry last season.

607
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: He was really really good as a feature back for

608
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders. McFadden goes, all they really have behind him

609
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: is Latavius Murray. You put Jennings in that featured role.

610
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: I think he's an RB two all day long, and

611
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: I'd rather have him over McFadden or Jones, Drew or Sprowls.

612
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: I'd like to see those two guys actually switched teams.

613
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: I would love to see Darren McFadden go to Jacksonville

614
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: and kind of be the guy he wanted to disappear entirely.

615
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: I'd like to see be the guy who platoons with

616
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: Jordan Toddmnnicks. I think Todd mean is a guy who's

617
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: kind of up and coming, and I don't think he's

618
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: ready to be the guy just yet in Jacksonville, but

619
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: he can be. He can get some help and he

620
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: can really build some things there. At the same time,

621
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: you send him j d back home to the Bay Area.

622
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: He's a day Lasal high school kid. He goes back

623
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: to the Bay Area, he can be at home again

624
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: and he works in a platoon with Rashad Jennings. I

625
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: think it's a win win for both those teams, and

626
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: I think it ends up working out well for fantasy perspective.

627
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: Jennings is a free agent too, and he's somebody who's

628
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: been rumored to go to the Giants and it might

629
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: be a better fit for him out there, and you

630
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: look at it. I still like Murray Murray. I think

631
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: the Raiders do too. He was he was dinged up

632
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: a little bit last year, didn't really get a full

633
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: training camp, and everything Murray is is somebody's gonna be

634
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on. He's somebody I'm very interested in

635
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: in the upcoming season. He might even might even crack

636
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: the list of ranks eleven. Oh shadow. You know what

637
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: I like about that, that great back and forth is

638
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: how Marcus you brought up but going to the Raiders

639
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: at the end of your career, because that works for everybody. Right,

640
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: there's Ronnie Lott, sure, Jerry Rice, Jerry Rice, very well

641
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: rich Gannon. Rich Gannon was there. He turns out when

642
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: he was forty. That was the beginning part of his career.

643
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: So you know, we didn't know it to take him

644
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: eighteen years to get good see, but still it's happened.

645
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: Charlie Garner had some good years there near the end

646
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: of his career. See, we're saying something positive about the Raiders,

647
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: all right, I got I got Dylan's working on a

648
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: print out of Raiders that it didn't work out for

649
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: and it's it's gonna it's gonna take a few minutes

650
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: to print out paper. Let me give you, let me

651
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: give Let's do some real talk right here. If you

652
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: take away all the guys who finished their careers well

653
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: with the Raiders, everybody has finished their careers poorly with

654
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Now that hashtag hot sports takes that's like

655
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: a magic Johnson sweet Just a circle, just a flat circle.

656
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: That's my favorite. Like Arizona is. Arizona was trailing Oregon

657
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: by five, and somebody's like, well, if they don't score

658
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: at least six points here, they're gonna lose than hot

659
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: sports tips. Just come back to that again, just back

660
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,959
Speaker 1: and forth, back and forth. Time is is not necessarily linear.

661
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: We only perceive it that way. So you have watched

662
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more than you anticipated. That's from Hot

663
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: Tough time Machine. Wait was that Niel des Tyson and

664
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: last night's episode of Cosmos. No, it's hot to time Machine.

665
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: The phone, Larry, just don't concern you. All right, let's

666
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: get to some wide receivers. Took a second, Dylan got it.

667
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: There we go, all right, wide receivers kind of a

668
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: mixed bag. We have some guys that are exciting. We

669
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: talked about a team mixed few minutes ago. Here's Eric Decker,

670
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: who had phenomenal value wise with the Broncos, and now

671
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna sign somewhere else. And we've already seen every

672
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: pundit known demand kind and said, look, I'm not too

673
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: sold on Eric Decker being a number one somewhere else.

674
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: So where are you sold on him? Rank and fantasy?

675
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: If he's a number one somewhere else, why does he

676
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: have to necessarily be a number one somewhere else? What

677
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: if he goes to place like Indianapolis Marcus already mentioned,

678
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: or even Cleveland or wherever you know he might end up.

679
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: You know what, he's pretty good in his role. He might,

680
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: you know, depending on what the money is, or he's

681
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: still proven. And the big thing to me is that

682
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: he caught eight touchdown passes when Tim Tebow was his quarterback.

683
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: So of course, you know he's done well over the

684
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: last two years and the Broncos offense, and there's no

685
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: doubt that's going to be the case with Peyton Manning there.

686
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: But he's shown he's pretty good in the red zone.

687
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: He's gonna go somewhere, he's gonna score his touchdowns. He's

688
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,959
Speaker 1: still going to be a pretty good option depending no

689
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: matter where he goes, even if it's Minnesota or it's

690
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: really more about the money, because he's gonna get paid.

691
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: Someone's gonna say, look, we're not gonna pay you this

692
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: kind of money. To be our number two. It's gonna

693
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: be teams looking for that number one guy. People also

694
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: are going to have expectations for him that are really

695
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 1: too much because he's been a top ten wide receiver

696
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: based on Fantasy points too straight years. And if he

697
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: goes to Indianapolis, it's a good fit. He's not going

698
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: to finish in the top ten of fantasy points. They

699
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: got a lot of mouse to feed there, because you've

700
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: got Reggie Wind coming back, You've got t Y Hilton, Uh,

701
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: You've You've got some other younger wide receivers there. So

702
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: anywhere Decker goes that's not Denver, his value is gonna

703
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: drop because he's not gonna finish in the top ten

704
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: of fantasy points. Could he be yeah, sure, but again

705
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: that depends on the quarterback throwing on the football. But

706
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: going from an offense that has Peyton Manning at the

707
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: helm and Peyton Manning may not do well in the

708
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: postseason or Super Bowls, but he's darn good in fantasy uh,

709
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: to a team that even has and Andrew Luck but

710
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: also has some other weapons around, there's there. There's gonna

711
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: be a drop off, yeah, but there was a lot

712
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: of mouse to feed in Denver, he had to Marrius

713
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: Thomas Julius Thomas Wes Welger. So it's not like, but

714
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: how many teams throw the football as much as the

715
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos but have Peyton Manning as their quarterback. But

716
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be throwing the foot. I really feel like

717
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: Decker's numbers, whether he stays in Denver or whether he

718
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: goes somewhere else, I think they're gonna end up being

719
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 1: about the same as they would have been anyway, because

720
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: I think Peyton, we're all agreed, is not going to

721
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: duplicate what he did last year. What we're give us

722
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: Decker's numbers from last year. He's had eighty catches the

723
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: last two years, right over a thousand yards touchdowns the

724
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: last two years. I mean, he's not doing I would

725
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: say that this year even if he stays in Denver,

726
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 1: which is certainly extremely unlikely. But even if he stays

727
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 1: in Denver, I think he has a hard time catching

728
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 1: double digit touchdowns again, just because the Broncos are kind

729
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: of gonna try to balance it out a little more.

730
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: I still think wherever he goes, he has enough talent

731
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: that he's a seventy to seventy five catch guy, I

732
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: think he gets close to a thousand yards, and I

733
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: think he's still gets you around, you know, seven to

734
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: nine touchdowns. That's a quality season out of a receiver. Yes,

735
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 1: it's not the video game numbers he put up in Denver,

736
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,280
Speaker 1: but I think regards of where he goes, because whoever

737
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: signs him is going to make it a priority to

738
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: get him the football. He's not Mike Wallace. He will

739
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: produce wherever he goes next year. See, I look at

740
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: this way. If if I have Decker and he's my two,

741
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: I'm a little concerned about my wide receiver death. But

742
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: if guy have Decker is my three, then I'm very

743
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: happy because I can I can afford to if he

744
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: winds up, you know, taking a big down turn, it's okay.

745
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: But if I got my two, then I'm I'm scrambled

746
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: and try to get somebody else in there and I

747
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: can't start him. It's that That's kind of how I

748
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: feel about him going forward. Hashtag hot sports takes Calvin

749
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: Johnson is my number three. I feel great about. Okay,

750
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: now you could get Decker as you you can get that.

751
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: He can't get Calvin as yours. Your number two though,

752
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: that's a fine spot for him. He's gonna have double

753
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: digit touch down Where do you win leagues? You have

754
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: at least we get Calvin Johnson the third round. He's

755
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: gonna get double digit he got He had eight touchdown

756
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: receptions from Tim Tebow or maybe Kyle Orton. I'll have

757
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: to go back and see who who was throwing him

758
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: the ball for all those But in his second year,

759
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: he had already established himself as a great red zone target.

760
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: He will continue to do that no matter one. A

761
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: little tidbit. Manning had six hundred and seventy five or

762
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: the Broncos had six d seventy five pass attempts last season.

763
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,959
Speaker 1: That was second most in the league. Guess which team

764
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: was first? Philadelphia, No, you'll You'll never believe it, The Jets,

765
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: the l A Avengers, No, the Browns. They were losing

766
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: a lot. They were losing a lot. Now they also

767
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: decided we're just not going to run the football. Well,

768
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: it makes sense. When you win, your best playmaker is

769
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: your wide receiver. I mean they were trying to get

770
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: the ball to Josh Gordon and Jordan Cameron a lot

771
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: last year. Imagine that, though I would have never predicted

772
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: that in a million years. Leroy Horde had a few

773
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: carries in the last year. That's how bad they were

774
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,959
Speaker 1: running at Leroy Horde. They were. That's the thing about that.

775
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: That's the thing about the Browns is that their philosophy

776
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: was entirely I mean, now it's out the window. In

777
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: a year again from now, it'll be out the window

778
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: when they fired everybody again. But they were predicated on

779
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: we are throwing the football, no matter who our quarterback is,

780
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: no matter who are running back is, We're gonna throw it.

781
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: And that you know, you look at we wonder how

782
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon wound up as well as he did. And

783
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: that's because they decided we're gonna keep throwing it and

784
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: you are our guy. And no matter who it is,

785
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: if it's horyor if it's Brandon Weed, nor f it's

786
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: Brian Sipe, they still they still had that philosophy. They

787
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: never wane from it. Do you see there? Do you

788
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: see their backfield last year? And yeah, it wasn't great

789
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 1: with Richardson. They got even worse when they traded him,

790
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: Like yeah, Baker was better than Richardson. Everybody was better

791
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: than Richardson. Alright, So question about Eric Decker's value changing teams,

792
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: same thing Marcus Julian Edelman. Where does his value go

793
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: changing teams versus staying with New England. I think give

794
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: he changes teams, his value drops significantly, just because I

795
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: don't see any other team out there that's poised to

796
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: get Julian Edelman a hundred catches. I just don't you know.

797
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: Maybe as if I can borrow from Elliot Harrison, if

798
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: he's running nune yard outs and they're just dropping it

799
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: off to him, maybe he gets close to that. But

800
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,439
Speaker 1: I just don't know any other situation that will get

801
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: him the number of looks in the number of just

802
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: he got in New Orleans. Wherever he goes, he takes

803
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: a big step back. So you say big step I think,

804
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: I think in New or in New England, if he

805
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: can duplicate last year, he is a low end one,

806
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: a high end two. If he's not in New England,

807
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: I think you're looking at a kind of a mid

808
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 1: level to low level three, maybe a four. At that point,

809
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: he'd be fun. In San Diego, he would be fun.

810
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: He could be. But then what happens to Danny Woodhead.

811
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: I feel like they would kind of have a fist change,

812
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 1: have a fist fight to see who could take that spot. Fair?

813
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: Is Woodhead a free agent? I think Woodhead is a

814
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: free agent coming up, but now he signed it. Then

815
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: he signed a three year deal last year because it

816
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: was his first year in San Diego. I'd have to

817
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: check that out. If there only there was a way

818
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: free agent two fifteen, he's in a contractor so he

819
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: has one more year. Alright, So guys, who all the

820
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 1: guys who wouldn't be fun if the Patriots signed Decker?

821
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: Go from West Welker, you take the guy from Ben

822
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,399
Speaker 1: this time boom, you guys have Wes Welker. We're gonna

823
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: take Eric Decker. Let's take your guy now. Yeah. Wow,

824
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: that's some tit for tat right there, and let's do that.

825
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: We should make that happen. There should be like constitutional amendments,

826
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: some Pete Carol Jim Harbaugh level tip for Ted is

827
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: what that is? And then you have Decker taking shots

828
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: at John Fox on the way out. Never we never

829
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: got along. Well, all these different things that would be interesting.

830
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: Then he starts making commercials. Ah see, you're you're a

831
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: you're a forward thinker, right, you got you got a

832
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: patent these ideas, so people know, I know, I really

833
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: directly to the alright, what's it from night shift? Night shifts? Right?

834
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: All right? So the other wide receivers who are out

835
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: there are kind of you could do better. But James Jones,

836
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 1: Golden Tate, Emmanuel Sanders bigger names on the field than

837
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: they are in fantasy Go forward, fabs if if you

838
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,959
Speaker 1: think these guys, where are the one of these guys

839
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: signs new deal somewhere in free agency? Who has the

840
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: most upside next year? Ncy wise, Jones, Tate or Sanders

841
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: upside Sanders, He's coming off his best season as a pro.

842
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 1: Marcus Wheaton is going to be a nice sleeper in

843
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh this season because you're going to see Sanders leave

844
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: potentially for the New York Jets. But every single wide

845
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: receiver who's a free agent is going to be tied

846
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: to the Jets because they have nothing like David Nelson,

847
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: Jeremy Curley. Yeah, they're in serious need at the wide

848
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: receiver position. They need to give Geno Smith some weapons

849
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,760
Speaker 1: in that past attack. So if Sanders goes to the Jets,

850
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: opportunity is gonna be there. I'm not saying he's gonna

851
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: be the next Altoon, but he's going to have a

852
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: chance to have an even better season than he did

853
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: last year. And Sanders wasn't a regular fantasy starter last season.

854
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. He was more of a

855
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 1: guy you can plug in, uh from time to time

856
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: based on the matchups. But you get him into the

857
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: into the Jets rotation as potentially their number one or

858
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: their number two, there's gonna be upside there James Jones. Remember,

859
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: there are a few few teams that have a quarterback

860
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: the level of Aaron Rodgers where he can go to

861
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: and produce. And Marcus knows this because Marcus and a

862
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: lot of us didn't love James Jones coming into this

863
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: past season. But his touchdown numbers dropped decrease, you know,

864
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: just significantly, uh, from fourteen to six. Can I say

865
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: something negative about James Jones? I'm you might have he

866
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: said something negative about you and tell that guys fashion

867
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: on me. But to be quite honest with you, that

868
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: there's just not a lot to like in the free

869
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: agent market outside of a few running backs and Eric

870
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: Decker and even Darren Sprowls. He he's already had his

871
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: best season statistically. Alright, So I know, Marcus, you're not

872
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: gonna say James Jones, Golden Tate, Emmanuel Sanders, or somebody

873
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 1: else of that grouping. I like Sanders the most. I

874
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: think James Jones is one of those guys who someone

875
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: will sign him, and I think he will provide a

876
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: good service for a certain team, whatever team that is

877
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 1: as a possession receiver, a guy who can move the chains,

878
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: hit the occasional big play. I don't know that he's

879
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: one of those guys whose production translates into fantasy. But

880
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: Sanders is one of those guys that, especially in the

881
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: free agent market, you're always looking out for because he's

882
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: got that speed that can take any play and turn

883
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,720
Speaker 1: it into a long touchdown. And and I am curious

884
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: to see where he goes. But but all things being equal,

885
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: I think of that trio, Sanders is the one that

886
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: I would most be interested in having on my fantasy squad.

887
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: All right, right, let's finish up here. We get to

888
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: the tight ends. There's a lot of potential talent out there,

889
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: and potential being the operative war because you haveter Michael Finley,

890
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: who has had a nice career Buddy was injured last year,

891
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: that horrific injury. Wants to keep playing Buddy Who? Yeah,

892
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: Brandon Pettigrew, who unfortunately drops too many footballs, but a

893
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: change of scenery could help him. Dustin Keller coming back

894
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: from injury, Garrett Graham who filled in nicely for Owen Daniels,

895
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: Brandon Meyers, who never filled in with the Giants at all.

896
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,439
Speaker 1: They avoided his contracts. We could be a free agent.

897
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:54,720
Speaker 1: So you have these guys who have all had decent

898
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: seasons in the last couple of years. So new places,

899
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: new faces, these guys, who would you Who's Who's the

900
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: guy that could be a number one for you this year.

901
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: I still believe in Brandon Myers, still believe he could

902
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: be a serviceable tight end. He played so wow with

903
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders. I was driving that bus for a while.

904
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: You know. That's That's one thing about the Raiders is

905
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: you had a couple of tight ends played pretty well

906
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: for them, Right was Zach Miller And then he went

907
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: to Seattle and that was the end of him. Brandon

908
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: Meyer's good year went to New York, didn't have as

909
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: good of a season. So boy, we're just shining all

910
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: kinds of sunshine on the Raiders. In fairness, the Raiders

911
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: should just say, look, we didn't screw him up that much.

912
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: The Giants couldn't do anything. Yeah, Eli Mann, it was

913
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: terrible last year too, which may have something to do

914
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: with what happened, uh with with Brandon Meyers. Like I said,

915
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: I was driving that bus for a while. Um, I

916
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,879
Speaker 1: haven't jumped off the bus, but I have stepped out

917
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,439
Speaker 1: of the driver's seat and I'm I'm handing the keys

918
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: to somebody else on that one. I actually kind of

919
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: like Garrett Graham though this year I think with them

920
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: with the shuffling in Houston. Oh and Daniels probably not

921
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: going to be back Bill O'Brien calling the plays there. Now,

922
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: I have a sneaking suspicion Derek Graham could really surprisably.

923
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 1: He won't. He won't get drafted early. He'll be kind

924
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: of a late round pick. But I think he's a

925
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: guy who could open some eyes later this did we

926
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: mention j your Michael Finley and Andrew Corlis. Those are

927
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: another couple of we talked a couple of another guy

928
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,439
Speaker 1: who was you know, was gonna potentially inherit that job

929
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: in in Greenland or well or go to another team.

930
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: The Giants seemed to be tied to every free agent

931
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: tight end out there, so um, Finley is going to

932
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: be interesting though, you know, at least I like the

933
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: fact that now there's talent at tight end, whereas up

934
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: until last year it was boy, you had your top

935
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,919
Speaker 1: three or four guys, and then really it was I'm

936
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: starting a guy, but there I can't there's get five

937
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: points out of him. I'm happy there's talent, but I

938
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 1: mean you lost Tony Gonzalez, who had finished in the

939
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: top tenant Fantasy points at the position for basically his

940
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:53,479
Speaker 1: entire career, and rookie tight ends they you're not gonna

941
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 1: do anything coming into the league that's been proven for

942
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,399
Speaker 1: the most part. And you're also looking at Rob Gronkowski

943
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: coming back from acl and a bazilion other surgeries that

944
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: he had in the last year and a half. And

945
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: you're looking at Antonio Gates's downfall. But will you know

946
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 1: Ladarius screenplay enough where he becomes a potential breakout sleeper

947
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: type at the position. I still think that position is

948
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: a mess. But Mike is saying is that this is

949
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: the year for Jared Cook. Very nice all right, got

950
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes left here. Let's let's head to

951
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: the draft for a couple of seconds. Here, We've got

952
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: some quarterbacks, you have some big time wide receivers that

953
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: could go in the first round. Each you give me

954
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,919
Speaker 1: a guy, Give me a guy from the first round

955
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: of the draft, the NFL Draft that you think a

956
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: guy could have immediate fantasy impact this season. Whether it's

957
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 1: because we're really not gonna see running backs taking that high,

958
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: but quarterbacks wide receiver, so no running they're gonna Well,

959
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: I said, for the first round, guys projected to go

960
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 1: in the first round, we'll see quarterback, wide receiver or

961
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: maybe maybe Eric Ebron who's going to go in the

962
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: first round, most likely out of North Carolina. Give me

963
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: a guy fantasy wise, you think in this may yeah,

964
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: I can plug him in. Well, I don't know that

965
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: a running back is going to be drafted in the

966
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: first round. So if it's a Carlos Hyde for example,

967
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: and of going to Cleveland'm gonna pick him. If we're

968
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,280
Speaker 1: talking strictly first round and there's no running backs projected,

969
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 1: then it's gonna be Johnny Manzel because he's gonna come

970
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: in and start for somebody, and this kid rushed for

971
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: over two thousand yards in two years at Texas A

972
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 1: and M. He had over twenty touchdowns rushing. Okay, and

973
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: if you guys know me, I love the running quarterback

974
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: no matter what his passing skill set is. Tebow prior.

975
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: We all know this, even Kaepernick, who didn't run as

976
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 1: much as we had liked him to last season until

977
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs and then he started playing extremely well. Got

978
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree back, but I would say it's Manzel. Unless

979
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: a running back goes first and is projected to be

980
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: that team starter, I rank who's your guy first? Right?

981
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: I know you like Mike Evans. I like Mike Evans.

982
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: Should I go him? Or should I go Sammy Watkins?

983
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: Who do you want to talk about? Talking about Markisley? No,

984
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: I'll go Mike Evans. I've been a big fan of

985
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: his watching those Texas A and M teams over the

986
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 1: last couple of years. Really like it. Surprises being the

987
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: Texas A and M didn't win this year because you

988
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: look at the first round of the draft. You got

989
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, you got Johnny Manzel, and you got the

990
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 1: tackle um Jake Matthews, Jordan Matthews, Jordan Jake Matthews, right,

991
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: very right. So you have those guys and they didn't

992
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: go they didn't win it. It's it's amazing me. But

993
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:28,760
Speaker 1: but Mike Evans looks very similar to somebody like Vincent Jackson.

994
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: Maybe somebody like Keenan Allen can go in and have

995
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 1: that kind of impact immediately, depending on where he goes,

996
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: unless it's St. Louis, because St. Louis just finds a

997
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 1: way with Brian Schottenheimer to ruin all these guys who

998
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,760
Speaker 1: we think can be huge rookies, Guys like Tavon Austin

999
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: and Seven Bailey really didn't produce like we thought they

1000
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: were going to his rookies. So if Mike Evans goes

1001
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 1: to the right situation, I would love to see him

1002
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: go to Detroit Fiegel. That would be a pretty fun

1003
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: spot for him, be opposite of Calvin Johnson, or if

1004
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: he lasts long enough to go to the Baltimore Ravens,

1005
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, be a be there opposite of to Ray Smith.

1006
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,439
Speaker 1: But I'm just looking for him to step in. He's

1007
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: he's pro ready, he's gonna have a big impact. He's

1008
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those guys who will be targeted

1009
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: in the red zone because he's got the big frame.

1010
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: Really like what he's gonna I really am excited to

1011
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: see where he ends up. I will say I am

1012
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: gonna go Sammy Watkins. Actually, I think he's the most

1013
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: talented skill position, all around skill position guy in the

1014
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: first round of this draft. I would say a guy

1015
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: like Manziel, maybe from a dynasty perspective, I have a

1016
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,439
Speaker 1: feeling I think he's going to be good. I think

1017
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: this year he's going to really struggle with interception. Just

1018
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 1: watching him at A and M For all the good

1019
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 1: things he did, he made a lot of questionable decisions

1020
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 1: and Mike Evans bailed him out on a number of

1021
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: those throws. He may not have that luxury when he

1022
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: gets to the National Football League. So I would say

1023
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 1: that I'll go Sammy Watkins. I think just in terms

1024
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: of speed, in terms of his hands, in terms of

1025
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: just his ability to get open, I think he's fantastic.

1026
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: I think Markis Lee because I know you want me

1027
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: to talk about Marquis Lee, not that he's ticketed for

1028
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: the Jets, and you know what I think with the Jets,

1029
00:49:57,960 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: I think he's a good fit. I think as long

1030
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: as they are expecting him just to be a slot receiver.

1031
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: I was not a good fit for the Jets at

1032
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Everybody, well, I mean you're a good fit.

1033
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 1: You look like Geno Smith. You can play wide receiver too.

1034
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 1: I could if I could throw the ball to myself.

1035
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: They're being great. I would just keep in mind, though,

1036
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: people should not fall in love with rookies because nine

1037
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: times out of ten they're not gonna put up consistently

1038
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 1: good numbers unless it's at the running back position. Nine

1039
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 1: times out of ten, Yeah, because that's the easiest position

1040
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: to jump in if you have any talent and and

1041
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: make and make an impact is running back. Yeah. I

1042
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,879
Speaker 1: do feel like if Carlos Hide goes to the Browns

1043
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,399
Speaker 1: that they will feed him a lot, that he could

1044
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: be a guy who sees around twenty touches a game.

1045
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: But they're still gonna get the ball in Josh Gordon's hands.

1046
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: But I just think Sammy Watkins of the guys ticketed

1047
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: for the first round right now, is probably the most

1048
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: ready to come in. But Keenan Allen had a big

1049
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 1: year as a rookie, so it's not impossible for these

1050
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: guys became He's one out of a whole group that

1051
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: did nothing. Austin didn't do anything. That's Brian set, the

1052
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: Ramps didn't know how to use. Johnson didn't even have

1053
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 1: eight hundred yards receiving as a rookie. So it's not system,

1054
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: it's just it's the trend. These rookie wide receivers. You're

1055
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 1: not gonna see Randy moss In Quan Bolden type of numbers. Uh.

1056
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 1: Eddie Royal was the best rookie receiver his his rookie season,

1057
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 1: and I think he had five touchdowns in right around

1058
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,919
Speaker 1: nine dred yards. So typically it doesn't happen like Keenan

1059
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 1: Allen was great, but he's more of the exception to

1060
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: what's trending to be a pretty steadfast rule. So if

1061
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 1: you discount all the guys who have been successful as rookies,

1062
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:35,799
