Our thoughts go out to his family, friends, teammates, 34 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: everyone who is touched by him. I know he had 35 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: a big following down Arkansas as well, so all the 36 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: fans down there as well. So very sad news yesterday. 37 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: We wish everyone the best. 38 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. You know, Alex Collins, drafted by the Seahawks, 39 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: came back for what was an impressive run and you know, 40 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: just with his with his dance steps and you know, 41 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 2: very tough runner. But and you know this John, he 42 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: was very well, highly regarded the clubhouse. 43 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: Indeed, all right, moving onto the fantasy football side of things, 44 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: we are getting you guys ready. I know a lot 45 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: of people are drafting right now. And to be frank, 46 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: I am not a fantasy football expert, which is why 47 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: we brought in Scott. He's going to help get you ready. 48 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 2: Now. 49 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: Scott, I know, some years, you know you want to 50 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: have that number one pick because there's the stud guy 51 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: everyone's got to get. Other years, it's a little less 52 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 1: clear this year. If you're picking, where do you want 53 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: to be drafting? You want to be up at the 54 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: top or somewhere in the middle. 55 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 2: Well, John here, because we'll we get to some more 56 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 2: of the v V or stuff. It's great to have 57 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 2: an insider voice because you know somebody who's on the 58 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: beat and in the clubhouse could could really give you 59 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 2: additional insights that can really help you. But as a 60 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 2: fantasy professional, I can draft from anywhere. But and their 61 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: advantages and disadvantages to drafting from every slot. Obviously in 62 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: the top three you get a chance in one of 63 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 2: the top players. If you're at number one, you're the 64 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 2: only person in the draft who can get any player 65 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: you want. If you're at the end of say a 66 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 2: twelve team league, John, you're the first person to get 67 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 2: two players. Personally, I like to be right in the middle, 68 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: say five to seven and six, say in a twelve 69 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 2: team league, five in a ten team league, because then 70 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: you really don't have to wait too long for when 71 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 2: that your turn comes around. Every round you're somewhere balanced, 72 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 2: you're some in the middle. But you know, a lot 73 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: of leagues won't give you an opportunity to pick your 74 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: draft Scott spot. Some will if you don't get an 75 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 2: opportunity to pick a draft spot, John, Remember there are 76 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: advantages and disadvantage to every draft slot. 77 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: In terms of starting now with your draft. Do you 78 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: have one position you like to to focus on or 79 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: is it just depending on the player? How do you 80 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: how do you work on the position side of it? 81 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 2: You know, John, how the Seahawks and Pete Carroll and 82 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 2: John Schneider draft, it's always about the best available player. 83 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 2: Very often you know they'll address needs. But look, you know, 84 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 2: maybe Jackson Smith and Jabow first round pick, probably the 85 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 2: best player on the board right there. That's why why 86 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: Pete John took him. And it's a combination of that 87 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 2: fantasy together. It's you want to go with. Early on 88 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: to the draft, people say, should I start two running 89 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 2: backs and two wide receivers? You know, should I pick 90 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 2: a running back of the first round, go a wide receiver. 91 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: I go best available player overall to fill out the 92 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 2: key spots in your starting lineups. So to me, what 93 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 2: I want to do is not focus so much on 94 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 2: the first and second round, because you gotta let the 95 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 2: draft company you. You got to go with the flow. 96 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey is so far and ahead of her over 97 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 2: every other fantasy tight end that you want to get 98 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: him in the first round and the others going to third. 99 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: So what I'm saying is is that there's no specific 100 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: order to take players and get your best available because 101 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 2: there are things called like the zero running back strategy 102 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 2: where you just take the top two wide receivers off 103 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: the board and you wait on running backs. It depends 104 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 2: on the flow of the draft, but in the first 105 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 2: five rounds, I generally like to come out with two 106 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: running backs, two wide receivers, and a tight end. 107 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: Sounds like sound advice. What are your top players this year? 108 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: Real quick run through your top ten? 109 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 2: All right? Justin Jefferson Jamar Chase are easily the top 110 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 2: two wide receivers off the board, and the top two 111 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 2: players off the board. Sometimes people take Chase over Jefferson. 112 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 2: I prefer Jefferson. Christian McCaffery stayed healthy last year has 113 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: always finished among the elite running backs. Number four I 114 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 2: have Travis Kelcey because again he's in a tier by 115 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 2: himself at the thinnest position in fantasy football. Five, I 116 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 2: have Tyreek Hill. If toua tongue viola plays most of 117 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 2: the season, Hill could be the top fantasy scorer at 118 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 2: wide receiver, maybe even challenger out pace Jefferson. Jefferson has 119 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: a little bit of a higher statistical floor. At number six, 120 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:35,239 Speaker 2: Austin Eckler. He is still playing at a prime level 121 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 2: and is so versatile. Number seven Cooper Cup. He's healthy 122 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 2: going into this year and he can easily challenge to 123 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 2: be a top Fantasy three wide receiver again. Stefon Diggs 124 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 2: was top five and always will be last year in 125 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 2: points per game and average points per game in its position. 126 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 2: Number number nine, and you might be able to get 127 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 2: him two or three spots later. But I really like 128 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 2: Taquon Barkley this year because you know that Giants offense 129 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 2: is going to be better. He's a centerpiece of it. 130 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 2: And you know Barkley is a terrific all around fantasy 131 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 2: running back. And then a ten job. We got a 132 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: rookie b John Robinson of the Atlanta Falcons, which you 133 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 2: might even take a few spots earlier, I think because 134 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 2: when you look at this at the league right now 135 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 2: and the fact that they took spent a number to 136 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 2: eight overall NFL draft pick on a running back and 137 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: the Falcons were second in run past ratio in the 138 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 2: NFL last year. B Jon Robinson are considered by some 139 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 2: scouts to be a generational back. I like him as 140 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 2: a late first round pick. And if you didn't hear 141 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 2: Charity Seahawks yet, don't worry, we got them comming. 142 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. The focus on balance Pete Carroll loves might make 143 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: and multiple running backs might make a little tricky for 144 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: the fantasy players, but they like what they have on 145 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: offense either way. Now, I know you've got a lot 146 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: of different strategies. That's why we have you here. Fans 147 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: want to hear your expertise. What's maybe a piece of 148 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: advice you have when it comes to looking ahead at 149 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: the draft and what's happening with the picks ahead of you. 150 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I say, don't do that if you have a 151 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: number eight pick, if you have the number eight pick, 152 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: don't try to guess what's gonna happen in front of you, 153 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 2: because it's often a fruitless exercise. Don't interview the players 154 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: who are ahead of you in the draft because they 155 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,559 Speaker 2: might not tell you the truth, or they might change 156 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: their mind and the drop of a hat based on 157 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 2: what happens ahead of them. So I just go with 158 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 2: the flow. I have my top eight players ready to 159 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 2: my best players available, I just pick him right off 160 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 2: the board. Don't speculate about what may be there. Don't 161 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 2: focus on a specific player, focus on groups of players. 162 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: Now, Scott, you wrote in your tips that you sent me, 163 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: you said be aggressive to get what you want. Explain 164 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: to fans what that. 165 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 2: Means, because you if you you don't have to follow 166 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 2: the hurt and what I mean by that is you 167 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 2: just don't follow average draft positions, rankings. If you really 168 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 2: like or the experts that you're reading, an advice that 169 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 2: you've heard from me or any other fantasy expert. If 170 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 2: you like a certain guy, I wanted to take him 171 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 2: earlier than everybody else because you may not get him 172 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 2: the next round, go ahead and do it. Like for example, 173 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 2: I had to. You know, we had the Fantasy Football 174 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 2: Expo in Canton, Ohio this past weekend, and I was 175 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 2: in a big expert draft and I took Travis Kelcey 176 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 2: at number five. I could have waited to get Patrick 177 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 2: Mahomes in the third round, but I wanted to pair 178 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 2: those guys together for fantasy upside. So in the second 179 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 2: round I took Patrick Mahomes, two rounds ahead of where 180 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 2: the next the next ranked quarterback went. But I said 181 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: to myself, if I don't get Home Mahomes now, I 182 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 2: may not get them at all. So if you learn 183 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 2: like a certain player, you push him up the board 184 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 2: and take him when when you want him. If you 185 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 2: like Jackson Smith and Jigma so much this year and 186 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 2: you want to take him as a fantasy why receiver 187 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: three when others are drafting him as a number four? 188 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 2: Or take them earlier than what sum rankings and average 189 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 2: draft positions will indicate. 190 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: All right, good advice there. Now, when we look at 191 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: fantasy football schedules. You got to worry about bye weeks, playoffs, 192 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: all those things. What do you tell fans who start 193 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: worrying about the bye weeks when they're drafting this week. 194 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 2: Don't do it, because I always will worry to worry 195 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 2: about a quarterback because quarterback will be stable throughout the season. 196 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 2: And you say you draft Geno Smith as a starter, 197 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 2: you want to get somebody as a bye week who 198 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 2: doesn't have the same bye week, so you know, when 199 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 2: Gino's off, you can plug somebody in. But otherwise people 200 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 2: will say, oh, they have a nice schedule, and for 201 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 2: the fantasy playoffs in week fifteen to seventeen, I don't 202 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 2: do that because by that point of the season, your 203 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 2: team is going to change so much from the wanted 204 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 2: to drafted John because of trades, waivers, injuries, etc. And 205 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 2: a lot of analysis based on last season. You know, John, 206 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: so much changes in the NFL from the year to 207 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 2: year with personnel, especially on defense, that we don't see 208 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 2: the same trends from the year to year. And you 209 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 2: could probably see to this. You know, we don't get 210 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 2: a great handle on what the new trends in the 211 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 2: league and teams that overcome expect expectations and players that 212 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 2: over expectations. We don't really get a clear read on 213 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 2: that until like four or five weeks into the season exactly. 214 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the league changes so much year every year. 215 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: If you think, oh, week sixteen, that opponents have got 216 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: a weak defense, that could be very different the next 217 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: year than it was when they thought that at the 218 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: beginning of the season. So yes, that is a very 219 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: important point to make for fans. Now, when it comes 220 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: to this podcast, you're talking to a lot of Seahawks fans. 221 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: I know people love to draft their favorite players, but 222 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: for a winning strategy, you probably want to see it 223 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: clear too much of just focusing on your own team. 224 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 2: Huh right. I mean it's a prime rule of fantasy 225 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 2: football not to be a Halber John, because you want 226 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: to draft the guys that will are just the best 227 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 2: on the board opposed to the ones that you don't like. 228 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 2: There are different types of leagus, John, They're like you 229 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 2: play with your family, you know, those are more casual leagues, 230 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: and everybody drafts for fun. That's fine, but it depends 231 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 2: on the level of competition. The higher level of competition 232 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: you play in, you know, the less you want to 233 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 2: be a homer because it's not about drafting your favorite players. 234 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 2: It's the one that can get you the most points 235 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 2: for the most value. Fortunately, we got a lot of 236 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 2: good Seahawks players where you can naturally take them, you 237 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 2: know where they'll fit. You know, if you want a 238 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 2: really good high end fantasy quarterback number two, I mean 239 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 2: Geno Smith fits the bill. If you want an outstanding 240 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 2: high end fantasy wide retiver too, DK Metca that fills 241 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 2: the bill, but fits the bill. But you just can't 242 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,719 Speaker 2: take players based on the uniform that they wear. And 243 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 2: you can't also avoid players from the teams that you're 244 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 2: not a fan of because they may play against the 245 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 2: Seahawks overall or that week I took people say, oh, I, 246 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: you know, I can't draft that guy because he's from 247 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 2: a team that I always root against. Art they're playing 248 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 2: against the Seahawks. Well, you have to naturally understand that. 249 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 2: You know, you want the Seahawks to win, and everybody 250 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 2: reads this site wants the Seahawks to win. But when 251 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 2: they play a game against another team, it's very rare 252 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 2: that they're, you know, going to shut that team out. 253 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: It's just they'll have a good defense this year, but 254 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 2: it's rare to get a shutout. So at least when 255 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 2: the other team scores, you can say, Okay, I want 256 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 2: the Seahawks to win, but at least when the other 257 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 2: team scored, you know it can benefit my fantasy team. 258 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: There you go. You just find the positive and everything 259 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: that way. 260 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and just real quick on one of the other 261 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,719 Speaker 2: strategic points that I made about not trying to pick 262 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 2: what happens any time. You always have to be ready 263 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 2: in every round, but what's happening in the next round. 264 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 2: Don't target specific guys. Queue up groups of players so 265 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 2: when it comes to your turn, you have like three 266 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 2: four players ready, so you don't always say, oh, you 267 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 2: took my guy, Snipe. I'm always I never get Snipe 268 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 2: John ever, because I'm always ready with three, four, six 269 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 2: players when it's my turn. As soon as you make 270 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 2: a pick, start queuing up players for the next round. 271 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: You mentioned Geno Smith earlier. How do you assess him 272 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: in where you're seeing people you know draft him in 273 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: mock drafts or if he's you know where he's rated, 274 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: how do you assess his ranking overall? 275 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 2: He's getting drafted as like a top ten to fourteenth 276 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 2: quarterback and a lot of other fantasy experts I speak 277 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: to feel that he's underrated. I think he is too. 278 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 2: You know, he's a high end fantasy quarterback number two. 279 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 2: He finished number five overall in fantasy points total last year, 280 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 2: and playerprofile dot com also noted that he finished third 281 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 2: on money throws, which are considered the most timely in 282 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: terms of being clutched, the most difficult third and deep 283 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 2: ball accuracy. And now he gets jacks and Smith did 284 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 2: jigbo with GK Metcalf and Tyrol Lockett. The Seahawks arguably 285 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 2: have the best wide receiver trio in the entire NFL. 286 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 2: And you know Gino come back player of the Year. 287 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 2: There's no reason I see an expected de client. I 288 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 2: think with this receiver trio and with the offensive line 289 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 2: Abe Lucas and Charles Cross, you know, bookend tackle to 290 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 2: the better protection. And you know what peace philosophy is, John, 291 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 2: you know, set up the running game to balance the 292 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 2: pass hit throw timely throws deep. You know he has 293 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 2: everything around him this year I think to be very successful. 294 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 2: And a lot of people like to go for the 295 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 2: top seven superstar quarterbacks. But if you don't think you 296 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 2: can wait and Gino could be a really solid fantasy starter. 297 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: You mentioned all these receivers, What do you how do 298 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: you rank that group? Who do you like in terms 299 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: of draft position of that? Metcalf, Lockett, Smith, and Jig 300 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: but Trio. 301 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 2: Well you see this every week, John, You know DK 302 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 2: Metcalf's commands so much defensive respect because not only we 303 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: know he's an explosive playmaker, but he's really improved as 304 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 2: a route runner, possession receiver, etc. So he's a high 305 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 2: end fantasy wide receiver. Two to me, Tyler Lockett. No 306 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 2: NFL wide receiver other than Tyler Lockett has one thousand 307 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 2: yards and eight plus touchdowns in each of the last 308 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 2: five seasons. Lockett is still to me is a very 309 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 2: good number three fantasy wide receiver. And Jackson Smith the Jingba. 310 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 2: Everything he's been doing in camp night stuff that you've 311 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 2: been tweeting out that the Seahawks dot com account has 312 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 2: been tweeting out with all his camp film has created 313 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: significant buzz in fantasy circles. I mean, he was a 314 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 2: top dynasty wide receivers for those of you who don't 315 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 2: play in those leagues. Dynasty is where you can carry 316 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 2: over your rostery year to year to just draft rookies 317 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: and free agents, he's created so much excitement that he 318 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 2: could be the best number three wide receiver in the 319 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 2: NFL for fantasy purpose since I like him as a 320 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 2: high end fantasy wide receiver four with some fantasy wide 321 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 2: receiver three potential. You know, here here are three Seahawks receivers. 322 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 2: You know, one's gonna go in the top first four 323 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 2: rounds of five rounds. That'll be DK Metcalf and you 324 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 2: know you're not to see Title Lockett go not too 325 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 2: long thereafter. And Jackson Smith de jigma is going to 326 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 2: go in the seventh, d eighth round of a lot of drafts. 327 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 2: And when you play in the league where you get 328 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 2: one point or half point percept reception, uh, you know, 329 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 2: Jackson Smith the jigma is going to be gonna be 330 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 2: productive for those purposes because John aren't they looking at 331 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 2: him as like, you know, really that guy to catch 332 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 2: import the third down passes and help Geno move the sticks. 333 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's been that slot guy, that's what 334 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: they keep talking about. Pete Carroll loves him in that role. 335 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: I mean, we know they the Seahawks love to move 336 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: their receivers around and kind of have everybody able to 337 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: do everything, but they really like him focused on the slot, 338 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: and that is a natural position We've seen over the years, 339 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: whether it's Baldwin or Lockett work in the slot. That 340 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: can be that go to third down guy, the guy 341 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: that's got to make those clutch catches. And yeah, I mean, 342 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: I always hate to over hype a rookie, but it's 343 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: hard to overstate how impressive he's been in training camp, 344 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: just everything we've seen so that I get why fans 345 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: are excited about him and the Seahawks Starks side aboutim, 346 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll said on the radio this morning a lot 347 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 1: more just great things about him. Kind of I don't 348 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: know if he was serious or joking, but he made 349 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: the point, you know, that first possession of the first 350 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: first game this year, he's gonna expect the ball to 351 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 1: find him at some point, so you know, it's it's 352 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 1: it's hard to say with that many receivers who's getting 353 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: the ball how much each game, but he will definitely 354 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: be involved and. 355 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 2: Over the long term. It's just here's a comparison. Maybe 356 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 2: you could appreciate John. He reminds me of Doug ball 357 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 2: would and the fact that he could challenge defenses at 358 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 2: every level of the field. 359 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I mean that's that's a pretty fair comparison. 360 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: I think running back, obviously, he's always a big position 361 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 1: in fantasy football. I think fans always get worried when 362 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: they like one running back and then the team goes 363 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: out and adds another one. So when you look at 364 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker, you know almost probably you could say should 365 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 1: have been Rookie of the Year last year right up 366 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: there in the voting, finished second, coming off a thousand 367 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: yard season nine touchdowns. How does add in a running 368 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: back like Zach Sharbay in the second round change things 369 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: or effect the Seahawks at running back? 370 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, A lot of fantasy players have questions about how 371 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 2: this is going to work out. And what I tell 372 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 2: them is, you know is Kenneth Walker is still a 373 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 2: mid range fantasy running back too. And as you know, John, 374 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 2: the Kenneth Walker so explosive, He's capable of scoring from 375 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 2: anywhere on the field, and really later last season he's 376 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,719 Speaker 2: approved as an inside runner. But as we saw, we 377 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 2: can go back to the twenty twenty playoffs, John, you 378 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 2: and I were there against the Eagles, you know where 379 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 2: Marshaun Lynch came back, so you know, Pete John, Obviously 380 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 2: they want to have as much running back depth as 381 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 2: possible because you know, it's just a very physical position 382 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 2: where guys get injured, so you know they have to 383 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 2: have the depth. But also you don't want to overwork 384 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 2: your running back in the NFL, and you can challenge 385 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 2: defenses when you have two different types of running backs 386 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 2: and keep them both fresh and give them different looks. 387 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 2: So to me, Zach Charbonay is the perfect compliment to 388 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker because the Seahawks, you know, looking to get 389 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 2: better on third downs. He can grind out those tough 390 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 2: yards and also play on third down as a receiver 391 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,479 Speaker 2: catching passes out of the backfield. I think he's an 392 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 2: ideal compliment. I think he's a very good fantasy running back. 393 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 2: For got him in two drafts this past weekend. And 394 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 2: then you have Kenny McIntosh, who's a sleeper if he 395 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 2: ever gets a chance to get extensive playing time because 396 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 2: skill wise, he kind of like Sharbona. He can bang 397 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 2: out tough yards and catch passes. You know, do you 398 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 2: see the backfield working out like that? John? 399 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we'll see how it goes with Sharbonae 400 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: and Walker. I think obviously Walker is going to be 401 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: that lead guy, but it's kind of how many snaps 402 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: of Sharpenay taking from him? Is he that third down back, 403 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: is he the guy coming in in the two minute situations? 404 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: Things like that. McIntosh is kind of the wild card there. 405 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: You know, we saw some really good things out of him. 406 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: Then he's been dinged up with some injury or with 407 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: an injury I should say, so he's been out for 408 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: a little bit. So you know, it's I get that 409 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: fans always want to know who's gonna do exactly, you 410 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: know what how many carries are going to get and 411 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: we can't say week to week. But the big thing 412 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: for this team is, you know, to play the style 413 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 1: that Pete Carroll wants, you need running back depth so 414 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 1: that you have you know, as much as we love 415 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: Marshall Lynch, it's not ideal when you're signing the guy 416 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: for a playoff game or for Week seventeen who hasn't 417 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: been playing all season. So they want to have depth 418 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: where they feel like if one guy's not available, the 419 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 1: next guy can step up and be a lead back. 420 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, even if that makes it 421 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: a little challenging for setting a fantasy lineup. It's going 422 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 1: to help this team out in the long run if 423 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: they've got a lot of talented backs back there. 424 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like Pete talks about, right the next man 425 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 2: up when when there's a challenging situation. But you know, 426 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 2: for fantasy purposes, you could still draft Walker as you're 427 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: running back to and Charboney could end up being a 428 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 2: good flex option. 429 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: Now. I know around here there's a lot of optimism 430 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: about the Seahawks defense improving. You know, Clint Hurt and 431 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: you're two of a coordinator. They brought a lot of 432 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: different guys in to shore up the defensive front. Some 433 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: you know, big change on the defensive line. You bring 434 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: in Bobby Wagner. We've got Jordan Brooks coming off of 435 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: the pup list today. So just a lot of things 436 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: the SKS hope will be training in the right direction. 437 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: But from a fantasy perspective, what's kind of the outlook 438 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: on the sex defense. 439 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 2: Well, you know, you spoke a lot to that because 440 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 2: last year the Seahawks were just outside the top ten, 441 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,719 Speaker 2: and the fantasy defense they were very respectable. They averaged 442 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 2: just over seven points a game, but we base fantasy 443 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 2: defensive scoring off of how much the other team scores. 444 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 2: But also sacks and turnovers are heavy, so you know, 445 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 2: I I believe, of course, you could even speak more 446 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 2: to this, John, I think the pass rush is obviously 447 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 2: going to be improved on the Clint Hart this year, 448 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 2: but the secondary just looks so good and so deep. 449 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 2: When Jamal Adams is back, then only adds to the 450 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 2: pass rush. But the secondary is so deep that interceptions 451 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 2: are so important in fantasy football that I see upside 452 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 2: more for the Seahawks fantasy defense. You know that said 453 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 2: we stream a lot in fantasy football at defense. We 454 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 2: don't use the same unit every week, but when they 455 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 2: have the right matchup, I think there's upside. Do you 456 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 2: see more sacks and turnovers for the defense this year? Yeah? 457 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: I mean they were actually you know, I think they 458 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: probably if you look at the numbers, their sack total 459 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: was higher, you know, ranked higher than a lot of 460 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: fans might think when you just y the elite paste 461 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: teams or they were in that I think top ten 462 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: of sacks. But you know they went out ad Derek 463 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: Hall in the second round. They're expecting Draymond Jones and 464 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: Jared reed to be good interior pass rush guys. And 465 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: then as you said, when Jamal Adams is back, that's 466 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: a rush weapon they didn't have. But you know, to me, 467 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: the big thing in terms of what this defense needs 468 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: to do overall, that's the big focus is run defense. 469 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: And I know those rushing yards alone aren't a huge 470 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 1: fantasy factor, but if they can do that, that's where 471 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: teams have to throw more, which is when all of 472 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 1: a sudden, those sack numbers go up, those interceptions can 473 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: go up. So yeah, I do see what you're saying that. 474 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: You know, even though maybe just yards and points allowed, 475 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: the Seahawks weren't up in the elite defenses last year. 476 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 1: That you know, if they get a little better in 477 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: a few areas that we could see those big numbers, 478 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: you know, the interceptions, the turnovers, the sacks really increase. 479 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. You know, if they can improve the run defense, 480 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 2: that means other cheaps will get in the end zone 481 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 2: less exactly. 482 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 1: Now, looking kind of back to a league wide perspective, 483 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: when we just look at these different position groups, quarterback, 484 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: you know, how do you how do you focus on 485 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: that group where you draft guys? You know, the depth 486 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: of the of the position. 487 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: All that gone of the days John when fantasy experts 488 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 2: used to say, wait on quarterback, it's a deep position. 489 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. 490 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 2: Now if you want one of the top three, which 491 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 2: is like Hurts mahons all, and you got to do 492 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 2: it in the first two rounds. That's what the average 493 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 2: rapt positions on fantasyproes dot com are indicating to us. 494 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 2: After that, I love Justin Fields eleven forty three rushing 495 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 2: yards last year and no one was even close at 496 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 2: the position, and they're not going to stop him from 497 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 2: running this year. And they added DJ Moore to overall 498 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 2: improve the receiving corps. Lamar Jackson has the best receiving 499 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 2: crew of his career. Of course, Joe Burrow, He's going 500 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 2: to be fine for the regular season. From all reports. 501 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 2: Justin Herbert and then Trevor Lawrence is on the rise. 502 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 2: O are your top seven to eight. But then after that, 503 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 2: ADPs and drafts I've been in saying you can kind 504 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 2: of wait at the position until a little later after that, 505 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 2: you know, maybe get a to a tongue of viola, 506 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 2: maybe get a Geno smith. Daniel Jones is a good value. 507 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 2: He will he's a top ten fantasy quarterback last year 508 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 2: in points per game and overall, and now he gets 509 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 2: Darren Waller and Paris Campbell and Jalen High at et cetera. 510 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 2: He can be a good value, you know, and then 511 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 2: you know there's you should wait if you don't get 512 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 2: one of the top three at the top seven. But 513 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 2: you gotta go hard the top. If you want one 514 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 2: of those super elite quarterback for about fifteen quarterbacks, then 515 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 2: you can feel comfortable with John. But if you play 516 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 2: in a super flex league or a two quarterback league, 517 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 2: a super flex league allows you to start a second quarterback, 518 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 2: and those are becoming more popular. You got to come 519 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 2: out with two quarterbacks in the first four rounds. 520 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: Okay, Now, I know, back in the day, it used 521 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: to be you draft running backs. Everybody in the first 522 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: round is taking her running back. It's just all the 523 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: top running backs, go, go go. And that's not the 524 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: case anymore. Where's the value of that position compared to 525 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: what he used to be. 526 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 2: It used to dominate the first round, Like you used 527 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 2: to say, we've seen nine ten running backs go out 528 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 2: of the first twelve pick, but pus half maybe five. 529 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 2: Sometimes the first round if if you know wide receivers 530 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 2: are Domin and Kelsey are dominating the first round a 531 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 2: little bit more. If you don't get one of say 532 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 2: the elite running backs, you can you can wait a 533 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 2: little bit, but I would say, you know, I still 534 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 2: want to get one of the top ten as my 535 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 2: ideal running back one if I can. If you like 536 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 2: wide receivers so much, then you come out of a 537 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 2: draft stay like I did last week with with two 538 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 2: very good wide receivers. Like one draft, I came out 539 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 2: with Ceedee Lamb and Garrett Wilson would say, Okay, I'm 540 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 2: going to wait on a running back, and then I 541 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 2: came around the next round, I said, I can't take 542 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 2: a running back. You know DK Metcalf still there. So 543 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 2: I ended up with Ceedee Lamb, Garrett Wilson to DK 544 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 2: Metcalf and I just waited. Not by design, but it 545 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 2: became what they call a zero running back theory, which 546 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 2: I write about on the Game day dot com if 547 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 2: you want to see more of it. But I ended 548 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 2: up with, say, getting Miles Sanders and Damian Pierce later on, 549 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 2: so you know, they don't want dominate the top position, 550 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 2: but we can get a McCaffrey. You can get an 551 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 2: Eckler at the pop half of the first round. You 552 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 2: can't ignore late in the first round to Saquon, Barkley 553 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 2: and Robinson. You do it. But like I said earlier, 554 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 2: you have to go with the flow now, things by 555 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 2: pure design. You have to take a loose approach in 556 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 2: the draft to go with the flow. 557 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: Now when it comes to the past catchers, those elite 558 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: tight ends in the receivers, those are the guys you 559 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: got to jump on early. Correct. 560 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know wide receiver. A lot of 561 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,479 Speaker 2: leagues will ask you to start three. I like getting 562 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 2: one of those top chen or so whenever you can 563 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 2: in the first round, towards the middle end of the 564 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 2: second round, because if you go running back running back, 565 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 2: it weekends the top wide receiver position a little bit. 566 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 2: But they're about thirteen fourteen guys that you can get 567 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 2: your wide receiver one. Generally, I like to come out 568 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 2: one of my top thirty wide receivers. You can see 569 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 2: my top thirty on seahawks dot com under the news 570 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 2: table under Fantasy Insider. If I can ideally get one 571 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 2: of my top thirty thirty five wide receivers, like three 572 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 2: of them in the top in the top thirty five, 573 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 2: I'm comfortable john Ware are much more rigid as tight end. 574 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 2: If I can't get I always have to get one 575 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 2: of the top six. Well, you know which is like 576 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 2: Kelsey Andrews, Hockinson, Kyle pittch Darren Waller, who I love 577 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 2: this year, George Kittle. Because after that, the position is 578 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 2: very inconsistent statistically, because you know, tight ends they play 579 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 2: due roles. You know, they have to block, they have 580 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 2: to catch, especially when they're young, there's a learning curve. 581 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 2: The scoring is much less consistent outside of the top six. 582 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 2: I really don't want to deal with that inconsistency personally. 583 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,959 Speaker 1: You mentioned earlier when we talked about the Seahawks defense. 584 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: You know, people like to stream defenses. Unless you're talking 585 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen Seahawks, you know, eighty five Bears, two thousand Ravens. 586 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: You're probably not sicking with one defense all season. So 587 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: how does that affect you know, when you're drafting in August, 588 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: how you look at what defense you want to add. 589 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think what mistake that a lot of fantasy 590 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 2: players make is they'll draft the defenses based on the 591 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 2: overall rankings. I look at the week one matchups because 592 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 2: you're streaming, you're changing every week based on the matchups, 593 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 2: So you don't want to draft the Jets and then 594 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 2: they play Buffalo in Week one and you can't use them, 595 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 2: So you know, I look for teams that have good 596 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 2: week one matchups, are good week one and week two matchups, 597 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 2: say like New Orleans, you know, Denver, San Francisco, except 598 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 2: San Francisco is obviously gonna be one of the top 599 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 2: defenses rank but the fact they have great early season 600 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 2: matchups because you're going to base who you start based 601 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 2: on the opposing offense. So as much as we like 602 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 2: the Seahawks defense more this year, we're not going to 603 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 2: look at them to start them fantasy wise, say when 604 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 2: they play Cincinnati and Philadelphia throughout the year, you're gonna 605 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 2: be cutting and picking up defenses on waivers all year 606 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 2: and in season. We'll have those recommendations on Seahawks dot 607 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 2: Com for you. 608 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: Fitting that we wait almost to the end to bring 609 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: up kickers. They might be the overlooked part of fantasy football, 610 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: but they matter too. I mean, they score a lot 611 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: of points. Just what's your strategy when it comes to kickers? 612 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 2: Don't ignore them. Just don't look at rankings because kickers, 613 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 2: when your positional players fail to meet that statistical projection 614 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 2: expectations every week, they can save your week. You know, 615 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 2: myers can kick four to five field goals and get 616 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 2: you double midub mid mid teams production. That can save 617 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 2: your week, you know, and be just don't take the 618 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 2: kickers that are on the top offenses sometimes the teams 619 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 2: that move into scoring because it's but not always in 620 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 2: the red zone. They can be very useful. And overall, 621 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 2: don't ignore what the front office does, you know, when 622 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 2: they like a guy. You know, the forty nine ers 623 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 2: actually drafted Jake Moody with a high NFL draft pick. 624 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 2: That that means that he's going that he's going to 625 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 2: be a very good NFL kicker. But I also look 626 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 2: at that at other positions really quick, Like you know, 627 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 2: Alexander Madison with with the Vikings, they cleared the way 628 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 2: for him to be a top running back without any competition. 629 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 2: So he'll get volume when the front office clears the 630 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 2: way for a guy to be the main player. And 631 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 2: I'll talk about this, you know, real quick with Jordan Love. 632 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 2: He he's I'll talk about that when we get to 633 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 2: our next topic. 634 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: And that next topic the one I think a lot 635 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: of fans really want. They think this is that this 636 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: could be what helps you win your league, makes the 637 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: big difference. Who's Scott? Are your sleepers for this year? 638 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: That that might help people win their leagues? 639 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 2: All right, I'll give be one from every position, but 640 00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 2: you want to see all of them, you have to 641 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 2: go to Hawks dot com Fantasy and tartet page. Quarterback 642 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 2: is Jordan Love? Okay? Like I said, a front office 643 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 2: clears the way for somebody to be a starter. That 644 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 2: means that the Green Bay front office is very strong. 645 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 2: You know, Johnah Schneider can tell you that, uh, they've 646 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 2: cleared the way for him to be a starter with 647 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 2: little competition. He's mobile, he throws a good tea ball, 648 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 2: even if he starts slowly. I believe Jordan Love can 649 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 2: can have some more fantasy value than, uh, than than 650 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 2: some people are actually thinking. And I also think Russell 651 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 2: Wilson could have a real rebound season under Sean Payton. 652 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: All right, what do we got beyond quarterback? How about 653 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: your sleeper receivers and uh running backs for us? 654 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 2: Oh yeah I have yeah, Yeah, let's just we have 655 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 2: to we have to go with a running a Seahawks 656 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 2: you know, Zach Sharboney and running back. You know this 657 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 2: is this is a guy you get outside the top 658 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 2: thirty running back And like I said, you could even 659 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 2: speak more to the scouting report John, you know, very physical. 660 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 2: We've already seen that in the preseason. Will Will good 661 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 2: body lead. Will will battle for extra yardage and you 662 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,439 Speaker 2: can catch passes out of the backfield. If he gets 663 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 2: a chance to play extensively at any point, he will 664 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,280 Speaker 2: be an automatic fantasy starter with some upside. 665 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean you mentioned that that physicality he showed 666 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,280 Speaker 1: in the in the in the preseason game. I gotta 667 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: think that's gonna lead to some good short yard situations 668 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: for him. And also we saw him right off the 669 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: bat in his first preseason game getting some of those 670 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: third down snaps and that's that can be a hard 671 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,919 Speaker 1: role to earn for a rookie because of the pass 672 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: protection side of it. But if he's that third down guy, 673 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,879 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of pass catching opportunities as well. 674 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, yeah. 675 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 2: They're even deeper, sleep deeper from the Seahawlls on that 676 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 2: fantasy inside of page. 677 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we know who that could be. How 678 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: about uh, how about your receivers? 679 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 2: My receivers I love from the New York Giants. Jalen 680 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 2: Hyatt on NFL dot Com The scout preseason scouting reports 681 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 2: compared to to Shaun Jackson, and he has been lighting 682 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 2: up camp. John just incredible speed and incredible gears. It's 683 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 2: like you're a Seahawks historian of like, whoa is this 684 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 2: Joey Galloway again or something like that. It's just incredible 685 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 2: separation gear, downfield speed. Nobody house else has that element 686 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 2: on a Giants team that really needed to improve their 687 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 2: receiving core. 688 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: All right. And then tight ends. I think we all 689 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 1: know the big names, but if you can't get one 690 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: of those very top guys who might help you out. 691 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 2: I like Jeelannie Woods at the Indieapolis Colts. It's a 692 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,240 Speaker 2: deep sleeper. Anthony Richards has already been named the starter, 693 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 2: and very often young young quarterbacks will rely a lot 694 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 2: on their tight ends. Jeelannie Woods showed flashes. Yes, Jeelannie 695 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 2: Woods showed flashes of promise last year, especially in two games. 696 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 2: He's six seven, two point fifty three to keep passing 697 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 2: downs and near the goal line. I think Jolwannie Woods 698 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 2: has some real promise. 699 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 1: All right. I think that covers the positions for sleepers. 700 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: Any other last words of wisdom you'd like to impart 701 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 1: to the Seahawks fans out there listening before they draft 702 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 1: their fantasy teams. 703 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 2: Of course, you know, of course, have fun, you know, 704 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 2: but above everything, I always stress, you know, go with 705 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 2: the flow, let the draft come. You don't try to 706 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 2: project things necessarily ahead of time. And remember the draft 707 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 2: is just the beginning. It's your foundation. You know, there's 708 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 2: so much more work to be done.
