Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice.

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: Now along with the guys from fanball dot com, here's

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: the host for Fantasy Football Weekly. It is time for

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: America's longest running fantasy football show, Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: your host, Paul Charchy and from fanball dot Com. My

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: cohorts today are Christian Peterson and Brian Johnson. Hello, guys, Well, yeah,

8
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: talking football. It's that we're really in the heart of

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: draft season now right, it gets game on. You know,

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: this is probably the drafts will be next two weekends.

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: You know this weekend, next weekend will be the vast

12
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: majority of drafts. So we're right in the thick of everything.

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: And over the course of this show, we're gonna help

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: you figure out which teammates are the right ones to draft.

15
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: A lot of times there are two teammates at the

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: same position that you could draft. For example, would you

17
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: rather Mike Evans in the second round or Chris Godwin

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: in the fourth round? Will help you decide which guy

19
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: to draft in a shared uh in a shared situation

20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: like that. Also, you're about to execute your first draft

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: of the year. We've executed dozens of drafts already, and

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: there are always these guys that you look back and go, well,

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: I never ended up with him, never ended up with him.

24
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: Did twelve drafts? Haven't ended up with that guy a

25
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: lot of time. It's not even that it's that you

26
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: don't it's not even that you hate that guy, but

27
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: you don't end up with them. Will tell you which

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: players we've blacklisted from existence, jettison into a black hole

29
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: of fantasy disinterest. Then we'll talk about the highlights from

30
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: the preseason action from this week. We'll answer some tough questions.

31
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: You get to play. Along with those tough questions, we'll

32
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: reveal our latest round of sleepers, and we'll talk about

33
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: the freaky upside that comes with rushing quarterbacks and who

34
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: you could potentially target in your draft if you want

35
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: to take on the risk that comes with them. It's

36
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: a little early for his freaky sound effects. It's not

37
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: Halloween time quite yet now would have worked well for

38
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: the freaky. The freaky I have any I don't have

39
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: any freaky sound effects here. Yeah, I've got uh, yeah,

40
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 1: I've got a vulture. I've got a sad drombone. How's

41
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: it going. I've got I got a happy trombone. Do

42
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: you have the air horn? No? No, don't horn. I

43
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: don't know where the air horn. We had an air

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: horn at one point, you got you got Drew Peacock

45
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: in there, though, don't you We know? No Drew Peacock.

46
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: But man, do we miss Drew Peacock at least come

47
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: back to the NFL Drew Peacock. Let's begin with this

48
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: potential impending signing of Ezekiel Elliott. Maybe even depending on

49
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: when you're listening to this, he has already signed. If

50
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: you believe the media reports. It looks like a signing

51
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: maybe immanent. So let's start here, assuming he has signed,

52
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: when people go to their draft, where does he slot

53
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: in as a signed player for the Cowboys? I mean,

54
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: I think he's just he's right back where he would

55
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: have been, which is within the top three or four

56
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: picks in the entire draft. More specific, where do you

57
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: want him in the top four night? I think I

58
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: think most people would. I would take him third. I

59
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: would take se Kwan and McCaffrey ahead of him, But

60
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: but I would have before all along. Okay, if nothing

61
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: has changed for me about about Elliott. I was CMC

62
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: in Kamara top two. That was Zeke three before all

63
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: this madness. But I gotta keep him at the tail.

64
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: And now the four, I take Barkley over Zeke. But

65
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: and I was taking David Johnson before Zeke. I'm still

66
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: on the fence a little bit. But no, I guess

67
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: if he signed today or tomorrow or very soon, I

68
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: would put him at number four. All right, So what

69
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: about people that are in limball. Let's say he hasn't

70
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: Zeke hasn't signed yet, but they're working on the same

71
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: information we are right now as we record this, which

72
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: it appears that they're you know, he's close to us signing.

73
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: Let's just say all these reports are coming from like

74
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: very biased cowboy accounts and I won't name name, but

75
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: they bleed they bleed silver and blue or whatever the

76
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: colors they call in Dallas. I mean, well, this is

77
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: what they want to say. They're not connected to the cowboys,

78
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: and they would know. I don't know. It's it's wishful

79
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: thinking that we all right, So are you saying then

80
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: that you wouldn't believe it? And I think it's a

81
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: coin flip. Now for whatever, it's okay, So where would

82
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: you take him right now based on the knowledge I don't.

83
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: I don't take him at all. No, there's no scenario

84
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: eight round is available. You're taking no realistic scenario. He's

85
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: going late first now I'm seeing him fall too. But

86
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: where give me the round where you're taking? Where you're

87
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: taking Zeke? If he's on sign and we all you

88
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: have to go on his media reports of optimism, which

89
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: you obviously don't don't care about. Third, third round. I

90
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: would go second, I think early second. I don't. I

91
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: don't think I would. I would use my late first

92
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: rounder if I don't know that he's going to be there,

93
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: but by the second round you know the risk is

94
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: worth it. What is it? What is this do about

95
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard? Pollard's look good? Has Pollard shown enough that

96
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: he's worked his way into a rotation the likes of

97
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: which we've never seen with Ezekiel Ellid? He's never shared

98
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,679
Speaker 1: meaningful carries, but he's also never had a competent backup either.

99
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: Do you think Tony Pollard has looked good enough that

100
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: he will eat into a significant number of carries and touches?

101
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: I mean fifty fifty, but more like seventy, which he's

102
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: never had to put up with in the past. Hill

103
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: factor on third down when Zeke's back. Whenever Zeke comes back,

104
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: he's a better receiver. Thanks great. Tony. Pollard excels receiving

105
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: the football, I mean catching the football, and uh, he's

106
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: shown that he can run as well. I see touches

107
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: going to Pollard with Zeke and full tip. So that's

108
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: my pa. I think that's fair too. I think Pollard

109
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: has has shown enough this preseason to warrant being being

110
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: in the lineup more so Pollard, even even if Zeke

111
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: is drafted, is Pollard more than just a handcuff. So

112
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: let's say Ryan draft Zeke, Christian, are you are you

113
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: drafting Polo? Are you drafting Polo? At any point in time?

114
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: If Zeke is signed and he's on another team and

115
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: he said, he's not not even your handcuff, No, I

116
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: don't think he's getting enough. I don't think he'll get

117
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: enough playing time, enough touches to be considered a standalone

118
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: valuable fantasy player. So the only the only way that

119
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: I would take him is if I also have Zeke.

120
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: On Thursday night, Cam Newton got knocked out of the

121
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: game Friday. He's wearing a walking boot. The team, at

122
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: least as of this recording, is not giving us any

123
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: firm information about this this either foot or ankle injury. Now,

124
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: he had surgery on the foot, so this is not

125
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: the first time that that this foot has been an

126
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: issue for him. What again, if if the team comes

127
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: out and gives definitive information, then listeners probably know that already.

128
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: But given that we the team may very well be

129
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: coy about this and we don't know, We've got in

130
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: Cam what do you do right now? Cam Newton and

131
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: potentially drafting him? And I'm going to the Cam Newton desk.

132
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: Christian Peterson no bigger apologist for the fantasy value of

133
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: Cam Newton than you. What would you do? Yeah? This

134
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: one hurts. I mean there have been preliminary reports that

135
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: it's not as serious as maybe it looked last night,

136
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: and that he could be back, Sorry, he could be

137
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: back as soon as week one. We still don't know

138
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: for sure. But in my mind, the biggest issue is

139
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: that this is a foot injury. They're talking about a

140
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: midfoot sprain kind of deal, and as we know, Cam

141
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: Newton drives a lot of his fantasy value from his

142
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: ability to run and a sprain, you know, something like that,

143
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: especially if they're going to rush him back maybe for

144
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: week one. I don't like the sound of that. If

145
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: he's not going to be able to run as much

146
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: as he usually does, or if this thing just lingers

147
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: all year long, if it just never gets right, which

148
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: could be the case. Yeah, so there's I don't think

149
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: there's any choice but to knock him down a couple

150
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: of rungs on your on your cheat sheet. I wouldn't

151
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: go crazy and like put him put him in the

152
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: black on your blacklist, on your vortex of irrelevancy, Yes,

153
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: but but I would knock them down a spot or two.

154
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: So if if this foot injury really does take the

155
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: wheels off Cam Newton and all your most you know,

156
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: for the most part, all you're going to get are

157
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: his passing numbers. You've got quarterback twenty five on your roster.

158
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: That's probably about right. You know, You're you're looking at

159
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: a Sam donald Ish. You know, frankly, Donald's passing might

160
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: be better. Although I will say if if if the

161
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: injury is to that point, I don't think the Panthers

162
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: would would try him out there if he couldn't do

163
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: some of the things that make him such a good player,

164
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like go Will Will Greer

165
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: or you know, Kyle Allen. I think that they'll put

166
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: the best passer they have on the field, don't you

167
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: think I do. I think they would Anyway, Well, that'll

168
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: hopefully still be Cam the shoulders, much better than it's

169
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: been the past and direct. I'm very sad. We'll talk

170
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: more about d J. Moore and critics. Samuel It's it.

171
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: This is potentially tricky on them, obviously, if if if

172
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: he's not gonna play with Cams not in his mobility

173
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: opens up things for them, extends plays, sure, plenty of things.

174
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: All right, Let's look at some of the preseason games

175
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: with some notable events, beginning with the Giants and the Bengals.

176
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: This is Brian Johnson's previous favorite team and now his

177
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: current favorite team playing each other in a heated preseason duel,

178
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: clearly a potential Super Bowl preview as well. Giants Bengals.

179
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: I got my money on that Vegas. Noah started with

180
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: the Giant side, Eli didn't fully implode, looked sort of sharp.

181
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: He will be a Week one starter and beyond and

182
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: before we mentioned Daniel Jones Eli ran a lead block

183
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: on a play for Wayne Gallard, ran about thirty two

184
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: yards on it. Um not with the ball, of course,

185
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: that was impressive considering thirty two yards is what he

186
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: averages rushing over his career every years. Never been much

187
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: of a helper there, Eli, Hey speaking speaking of which, Um,

188
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: who is you know for those people that want to

189
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: handcuff Barkley? Is it Gallman or Park or just neither?

190
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: Just just just don't do period, don't do it, all right,

191
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,719
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a case where hopefully doesn't. Anyway, it

192
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: was Barkley. Yeah, whoever steps in for Barkley is not

193
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: It's a waste of fab. Don't even go there if

194
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: that comes to it. If it comes to that. Um.

195
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones O came in after Eli. He looked very

196
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: good again. Uh nine for eleven forty one yards, took

197
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: a big hit, got back up, dropped a dime to

198
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: the one yard line. But he's played against the reserves

199
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: all preseason long. People are he looks goodseason? You know

200
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 1: a week one he well, he he started the game

201
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: week one, but he was also playing against reserved, So

202
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: I guess you're right. But he will usurp Eli at

203
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: some point. Just a guy to keep your eye in

204
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: and Dynasty and super Flex for him. That's definitely not

205
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: one quarterback leagues this year. The only other giant worth

206
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: mentioning was Evan Ingram, who called his loom target for

207
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: nine yards. But outside of that, there was no Barkley,

208
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: no Golden Tate, no Sterling Shepherds. Still he's injured. It

209
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: should be ready for week one. We shall see. But

210
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: um he's going off the board practically free. It's he's

211
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: if you got a spot to burns. He'll be a

212
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: factor when he when he's healthy. For since no Joe Mixon,

213
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: no Tyler Effort, Andy Dalton did look sharp, went seven

214
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: for ten for a hundred and four yards through a

215
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: beautiful yard touchdown to my boy the uzy C g

216
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: C j use Olma, who also had another catch of

217
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: twenty five plus yards, which was impressive. So if Effort

218
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: gets hurt, muse Alma is going to be a factor

219
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: again in the tight end wasteland when I get hurt

220
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: when and uh, of course no A J. Green Tyler

221
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: Boyd only played a couple of series. One guy to

222
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: keep your eye on his Damien Willis, wide receiver who

223
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: had three catches for fifty five yards in the touchdown.

224
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: Because John Ross is not good, who currently is slated

225
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: as the other starting wide receiver. This Damien Willis could

226
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: become a factor, and so could rookie running back Rodney

227
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: Anderson from U c l A, who was the first

228
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: round that's the first blew out his knee in the

229
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: first game for U c l A. Dropped to late

230
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: third day in the draft, but he looked really good.

231
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: And people always say Geo Bernard would be the backup

232
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: if something happened to mixing, but Bernardo's kindding that Darryl

233
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: Henderson threw down role. To me, Rodney Anderson is the handcuff.

234
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: He could be your first two down guy if something

235
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: did happen to mix it up. So something. If you're

236
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: gett handcuff mixing, it's not Geo, it is Anderson. That's

237
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: it for this game. Let's go to Baltimore in Philadelphia.

238
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: That's Brian, Sorry I'm wrong, Washington and sorry, Washington in Atlanta,

239
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: thank you. Really not a lot to talk about in

240
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: this game. On the Washington side, the debut debut of

241
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: Darius Guys so that's exciting. First time on the on

242
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: the field and game action since he blew out his

243
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: A c L last preseason, and he was very involved.

244
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: He got four touches on the very first drive, eleven

245
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: touches overall, and did okay with it four yards, So

246
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: really just nice to see him back on the field.

247
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: He looked like an explosive player, just like we thought

248
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: we were getting last year before the injury. Of course,

249
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: his fantasy situation is still pretty clouded with Adrian Peterson

250
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: there and Chris Thompson there. But again, good to see

251
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: guys back on the field. Not so good news for

252
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: Jordan Reid. Removed from the game in the concussion protocol.

253
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: This is I believe, his seventh concussion of his career,

254
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: and that's on top of all sorts of other injuries.

255
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: You know, everybody, you know, beat writers, people were liking

256
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: what they saw of Jordan Reid in the preseason and

257
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: in training camp and he was looking like maybe one

258
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: of their only legitimate receivers and now probably not so much.

259
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: So bad news for Jordan Reid. Case Keenum was bad,

260
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins was maybe even worse. This is this is bad.

261
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: They have they have no wide receivers. Their top receivers

262
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: didn't even play in this one. Josh Dockson might be

263
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: traded or cut. It's a their passing game as a

264
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: total disaster. On the Atlanta side, not really a lot

265
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: to talk about here. Matt Ryan did start and played

266
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: a little bit, but Julio Jones didn't play. Davonta Freeman

267
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: just played one series. He did give way to Edo Smith,

268
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: who has now established himself as the backup that you want. There.

269
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: I played seventeen snaps, had five carries and a touchdown.

270
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: That is all that is worth talking about in this game. Okay,

271
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: Carolina took on New England. We already talked about the

272
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: only really sailing part of Carolina the Cam Newton injury here. Uh.

273
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: If he can't go, Kyle Allen expected replacement. Uh, and

274
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: let's hope it doesn't come to that in Week one

275
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: or beyond. On the New England side, there were a

276
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: variety of things to talk about. Sony Michelle looking fast

277
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: and elusive, much more so than last year. Remember last

278
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: year came off of injury, was injured throughout that season,

279
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: and looked like he didn't look anything like the guy

280
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: we saw Georgia, he looked plotting and slow. Not so

281
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: much here. I thought he looked really good. The box

282
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: score won't show some of his best plays that came

283
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: back in penalty as well, So don't just look at

284
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: the box score, and Sony Michelle, trust me that he

285
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: looked good. It's still a very convoluted in deep backfield,

286
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: but he looks like the best player in it. Ben

287
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: Watson got some first team reps and he's got a

288
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: little sneaker, sneaky tight end to him. Philip Dorsett got

289
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: a long look, including starting the game, but with Josh

290
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: Gordon's return coming, I don't think he's going to hold

291
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: that job as a starter. And I'll note that Julian

292
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: Edelman still not playing. Don't forget Ben Watson suspended though

293
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: for his four games. Great point, yeah, thank you, thank you,

294
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: But after that's certainly gonna be viable this season, Darling.

295
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers had another big game Patriots as well, although

296
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: he did he got some looks from Tom Brady and

297
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: was oh for three on the targets from Brady, and

298
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: Brady was seen sort of be rating him on the

299
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: sidelines a little bit. So uh, Myers has been a

300
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: guy maybe worth looking at in Dynasty format, but probably

301
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: too far down the depth chart for others. The much

302
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: anticipated Baltimore Philadelphia game, now let's get to that one.

303
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: This one will be much quicker. Wentz did not play

304
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: for Philly, has an all preseason, but he should be

305
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: ready to go a week one, he will be ready

306
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: to go, or so they say. Zacker has caught a

307
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: past for thirteen yards, but this game was all about

308
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: j j Arthega Whiteside baby Jaws Risen call him Jaws here.

309
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: It's way easier. Eight catches a hundred and four yards,

310
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: including a nice grab in the corner of the end zone.

311
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: Looks a little Andre Johnson ish easily a fair Compton,

312
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: Mike Williams in l A. He's uh, he looks fantastic.

313
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: He looks really Dynasty Sky's the limit redraft. It's a

314
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: lot of there's a lot of targets to be shared

315
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: in Philip. So that's the thing we're actually we're gonna

316
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: talk about it later in the show. But you know,

317
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: that's one of the things I like about Carson Wentz

318
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: is you don't have to guess which which is now

319
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: suddenly plethora of quality target options is going to be

320
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: the guy in any given week. That's it for Philly Baltimore.

321
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: Not a lot here. Lamar Jackson did not play. Kind

322
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: of a bummer. Not a lot of players didn't play

323
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: in these week preseason Week three used to be the

324
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: bonanza of all the starters. It's not. It's not not anymore.

325
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: Mark Ingham didn't play either. In rising rookie Justin Hill

326
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: did not wow in this one. Only sixteen combo yards

327
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: on nine touches. The only thing really worth mentioning is

328
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: um Miles Boykin did make his first appearance at the preseason.

329
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: He was a first round pick, second round, second second

330
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: round pick. Uh. He did what he was drafted to do.

331
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: Had one catch for forty four yards on two targets.

332
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: So he's gonna be a deep threat for l Jacks

333
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: this year. The third round pick, Miles Boykin. All right,

334
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: let's go to Green Bay and Oakland. What a disaster.

335
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: This game was just a total disaster. On they're playing

336
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: an eight yard feet so they played. They played in Canada,

337
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 1: and in Canada on Canadian Football League fields, the uprights

338
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: are in the middle of the end zones, so they

339
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: tried to remove those, but then the field was just

340
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: a mess in the end zone, so they had to

341
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: shorten it and the ten yard line became the end zone.

342
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: And when that happened, green Bay said, well, we're gonna

343
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: bench our thirty three best players. What a disaster, and

344
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: a couple of the players that they did decide to play,

345
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: including Equanimius st. Brown, you know, potentially fantasy. When I

346
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: saw that injury, I'm like, the season over career enders

347
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: saw off his foot right now, it looks bad. The

348
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: interesting part was when you first looked at the hit,

349
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: what you saw was the vicious head to head, you know,

350
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: helmet to helmet action. And then it turns out he

351
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: also blew up his ankle, blew up his leg in

352
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: some way, carted off the field out. They're saying it's

353
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 1: only a severe high ankle sprain. I know, I was like,

354
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: that's it's over. Uh fortunately, not not quite as bad

355
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: as that anything else from no. I mean, Oakland didn't

356
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 1: even bring the twenty four of their players to the game,

357
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: and then because of the field they be so literally

358
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: nothing that's talking about. Let's let's move on to our

359
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: last preseason game that we're going to talk about, Jacksonville

360
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: taking out Miami. There are actually a number of things.

361
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: This sounds like an absolute dog game, but there was

362
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: There was actually some good things to come out of it.

363
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: From a fantasy standpoint. For Jacksonville, Leonard for Nett got

364
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: some work. Look pretty good. Heavily involved in the passing game,

365
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: which has been a recurring theme of the preseason. In

366
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: the training camp for him. D D. Westbrook looks great

367
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: and they targeted him constantly. Scored a touchdown. He remains

368
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: highly underdrafted and that's um. I think he's somebody that's

369
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: that needs to move up cheat sheets. He's going to

370
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: be a target high here Miami. The offensive line was

371
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: one of the big stories here. It's brutal. Poor ste

372
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: Beard was on the run. Cons and Lee look shaky,

373
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: got pressured, got hit. Uh, but it wasn't Stu Bird's fault.

374
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 1: Of course. No, of course that he looks you give him.

375
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: He's a leasive machine. Um. The offensive line is bad.

376
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: They made rookie Josh Allen for for Jacksonville look like

377
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: a potential defensive Rookie of the Year candidate. And by

378
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: the way, he might be a potential defense over the

379
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: Year candidate Rookie of the year. Let's go to it

380
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: while we're down. The passing game still here a little

381
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: bit electrifying. Rookie Preston Williams ran with the first team

382
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: in the first series. I think they might just be

383
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: ready to see you know, they know where they're rebuilding.

384
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: Why not give Preston Williams a bunch of reps. He is,

385
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: in my mind, the only receiver I'm interested in drafting

386
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: out of that whole group. I'm done with the Kenny

387
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: Stills of the world and DeVante Parker's the world. I

388
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: think Preston Williams is the guy. And find out if

389
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: you got lightning in a bottle. Albert Wilson is intriguing,

390
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: though in PPR you can have him. Caitlin Balage had

391
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: nowhere to run offensive line again, terrible, no ability, and

392
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: he's not good, no ability to make his own yards.

393
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: So you give him no. You can't give him a

394
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: giant hole to run through. He gives you nothing. Draft

395
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake instead. Drake has dropped two full rounds of

396
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: a DP over the last three weeks as he's been

397
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: nursing a foot injury, and Calin Bellage is beginning all

398
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: this work. I'm telling you blage stinks to add real

399
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: quick right quill Armstead, I hope I pronounce the first.

400
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: He looked good against the Miami starting defense. He's the

401
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: true handcuff behind it. I think it is too and

402
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: there are there are people that are on the blue thing.

00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: Let's look at teams with two viable fantasy starters at

410
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: the same position. Which one is the right one, particularly

411
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: when you factor in their raft position. You're listening to

412
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly Fantasy Football Weekly Returns. I am Paul

413
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: Archie and my co hosts are Brian Johnson Christian Peterson. Guys,

414
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: let's look at the teammates who are competing for a

415
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: spot on your roster and kind of against each other.

416
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: These are teammates who play the same position. They're both

417
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: draftable guys, But which one do you take? Especially when

418
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: you factor in average draft position. I want to begin here,

419
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: Christian Philip Lindsay, who's going in round five, or Royce Freeman,

420
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: who's going in around eight. What do you think? Yeah,

421
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: So Lindsay last year was the number thirteen fantasy running

422
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: back depending on your scoring system, but in a PPR

423
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: system he was. He was about twelve in fantasy points

424
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: last year. And Freeman was was there and Freeman was

425
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 1: taking some of the goal line looks last year, and

426
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 1: all throughout training camp people were saying Freeman was the guy.

427
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: And then it turned out Philip Lindsay was just a

428
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: dramatically better player during the year. And now this offseason

429
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: they had changed the coaching staff a little bit, and

430
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: the new coaching staff came in and they said they

431
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: want to get Royce Freeman more involved. They went out

432
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: and they picked up Theo Riddick in the preseason, maybe

433
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: to take some pass catching away from Philip Lindsay. But

434
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: now Riddick is injured. He fractured his shoulder in his

435
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: first game, so he's out sort of indefinitely right now.

436
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: And honestly, I don't see what's changed this year versus

437
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: last year. And Lindsay right now is the running back

438
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: off the board. So to me, all of these factors

439
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: about Freeman maybe already being uh taking taking some of

440
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: the looks, it's already factored into his ADP. And I

441
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: think the upside is still there for him to finish

442
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: within the top fifteen. So I'm not buying Freeman just

443
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: like just like I had last year. And I think

444
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: Lindsay is the guy, so I would I would rather

445
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: have him in round five than Freeman even three rounds earlier. Um,

446
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, Royce Freeman had this in the second preseason game.

447
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: He had this untouched fifty yard run in which he

448
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: was caught from behind easily. And I'm looking at that going,

449
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay's gone gone. You give Philip Lindsay that whole touchdown,

450
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: that's like an eight yard touchdown. I just I don't

451
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: think it was really good. They're fantasy experts who absolutely

452
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: love Freeman, yeah, and believe that Royce Freeman is gonna,

453
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: you know, catch and surpass Lindsay, And I just I

454
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: never see it with my own two eyes. They can't

455
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: get past the draft. They can't get That's exactly Rice.

456
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: It's the right, it's the it's the Penny situation all

457
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: over again. Just like Seattle, people can't get past where

458
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: where Penny was drafted as a first rounder, despite the

459
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: fact that Chris Carson is so much better, and they're

460
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: convincing everybody that Philip Lindsay is a fifth rounder when

461
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: in fact he's should be a probably a third rounder. Lindsay,

462
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: that's right. We're already getting the discount on Lindsay. Brian

463
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: Julio Jones late first round or Calvin Ridley in the

464
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: fifth round. Which team made you have taken? I want both,

465
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, but if you got to

466
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: pick one, let's break it down, starting with Julio. His

467
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: seven thousand receiving yards the most by any player in

468
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: any five year span in his in history of the NFL. Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

469
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: Injuries used to be a knock for Julio if you

470
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: recall in the pastor but he's missed three starts during

471
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: that same five year span. The last started he missed

472
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: was in twenty sixteen, so he's been fully healthy the

473
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 1: last two years. Red zone targets used to be an

474
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: issue for Julio Jones. He had just three in the

475
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: first eight games last year, and they all came in

476
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: the opener. Yeah. After that though, Atlanta got their their

477
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: s together. I saw fourteen red zone targets over the

478
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: final nine games. Only Travis Kelsey saw more. He had fifteen,

479
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: so and we all saw it happened. Touchdowns came for

480
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: Julio wide receiver one Sarkisian anyway, right, and Dirk Cutter

481
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: by the way, coming back. Very familiar with Julio and

482
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, which is an offensive when it comes to fantasy. Anyway,

483
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: over to Calvin Ridley, a lot to love to. Here's

484
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: the list of rookies with ten plus receiving touchdowns over

485
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: the past twenty five years. Randy Moss, Odell Beckham, Mike Evans, Gronk,

486
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, the Tampa Bay one from the mid Austin,

487
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: and Calvin Ridley. That's that's good company, right, that's good company.

488
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: Aside from Mike Williams, I'm sorry he flamed out. I

489
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: loved him and Madden too. By anyway, Calvin Ridley, half

490
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 1: of those ten touchdowns came into two game span though

491
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: from weeks three to four. Yeah, and starting in Week five,

492
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: he only saw red zone targets in two games for

493
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: the remainder of the season, Julio, will you take them?

494
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: Why can't they throw to both of them? Though? That's

495
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: what I wann't know. But anyway, three of those targets

496
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: went for to total touchdowns. Long story short, Ridley is

497
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: gonna make strides and be a bona fide wide receiver two.

498
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: But Julio is going around wide receiver five six. He

499
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: could be wide receiver one. I gotta I gotta pull

500
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:01,719
Speaker 1: the triggered on Julio over Ridley. But I love them

501
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: both understandable, and I think there is a great case

502
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: this is This could be the rare situation where you

503
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: could take two wide receivers from the same team and

504
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: start them and then draft Matt Ryan and go all in.

505
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: I said that training camp last week. It's one of

506
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: the few teams that would do this with because you

507
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 1: can get both. You get the quarterback after both wide receivers,

508
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: and it's a good sign. That is a good sign.

509
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Rams running back situation. Todd Gurley

510
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: still going in the second round of fantasy drafts, or

511
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: rookie Darryl Henderson who's going in the seventh round. Yeah,

512
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think people know what the

513
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: situation is here, right. We thought at the end of

514
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,239
Speaker 1: last year when Gurley sort of mysteriously towards the end

515
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: of the year started getting sat down and then C. J.

516
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: Anderson stepped in and went berserk, and the Rams didn't

517
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: really admit that anything was wrong, but what we saw

518
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: on the field made it obvious that there was especially

519
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: with again with Anderson going bonkers and and Gurly doing

520
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: nothing for a team that had that had Super Bowl aspirations, clearly,

521
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: and it's continued into the off season. He missed the

522
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: offseason workouts, he isn't practice sing every day in training camp,

523
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: He's not going to play in the preseason, so this

524
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: is kind of interesting. I went back and looked at

525
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: his ADP. Before mid June, he was at about eleventh overall,

526
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: so people had kind of priced in some of this uncertainty,

527
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: but he was still being a first rounder. Then on

528
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: June eight, they came out and finally admitted that he

529
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: has this arthritic condition and his arthritic and since then,

530
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: so as ADP now drops to eighth overall, so really

531
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: only only seven spots. But he's now to the point

532
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: where you're getting him clearly in the second round into

533
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: the middle of the second round. But I just can't

534
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: get over this uncertainty. I just think there's no way

535
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: that you can afford to completely whip on your second

536
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: round draft pick. And during the off season the Rams

537
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: actions speak a lot louder than their words. They matched

538
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: the three point to five million dollar offer sheet to

539
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: back up Malcolm Brown, and then they went out and

540
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: got Henderson, who, by all accounts everybody loves and is

541
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: an explosive player. I would you know, there's risk in

542
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: Henderson as well, but I'd rather with on my seventh

543
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: rounder than on my second rounder. So I'm taking Henderson

544
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: in Round seven. Couldn't agree more with everything you said.

545
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: I think about this, Listeners, It's a Wednesday injury report

546
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: drops Todd Gurley knee every week, every damn week. It's

547
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: gonna read just like that, and you're gonna have no

548
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: way of knowing what's coming. Is it gonna be two touches,

549
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be twelve touches, Is it gonna be

550
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: twenty two touches? God only knows. You're not going to

551
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: all year long. You're gonna be doing that chronically arthritic

552
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: knee I don't like to chronically do things I enjoy.

553
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: I don't want to chronically have sex. You know, chronic

554
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,719
Speaker 1: arthritic k me forget it. I'm totally out on that.

555
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: No interest in investing in a chronically arthritic knee. Last

556
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: set of teammates that we want to break apart before

557
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: we take our our next, our, next pause. Mike Evans

558
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: going in the second round or Chris Godwin going in

559
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: the fourth. Brian, this is kind of another King Solomon

560
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: situation in here. I gotta love both of these guys,

561
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: especially with DeShawn Jackson and um Adam Humphries leaving that

562
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: VAK its thirty eight percent of Tampa based target shares

563
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,959
Speaker 1: and the only wide receiver they bring is Brashad perrim

564
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: and Bright. He does not count. He does not count

565
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: as a football player. So let's start with Evans. Actually

566
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: is a quad injury right now, probably gonna miss the

567
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: rest of preseason, sort of questionable for Week one. That's

568
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: not good, but let's assume he's good to go. He

569
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: should be. We know what we get with Evans. He's

570
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: a bona fide wide receiver one has overall wide receiver

571
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: one potential since Evans has more yards and Beckham Jr.

572
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: More touchdowns, and Davante Adams and more catches and t

573
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: Y Hilton. He's just he's in the top tier of

574
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: wide receivers or the one beat here at least, but

575
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin could get there coming at a couple rounds

576
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: later in drafts. Only saw ninety five targets last year.

577
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: That's how many targets Willie Sneed saw. Very much easy,

578
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: still pretty good, It's not bad, but there's twenty five

579
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: to thirty more targets on the horizon for god When,

580
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: who finished with eighty two yards and seven touchdowns last year.

581
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: He did see the fourth most targets from inside the

582
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: ten yard line last year with the Levin for comparisons sake,

583
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: Evans only saw six and uh Bruce Arians indicated Godwin

584
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: can be a hundred catch guy running primarily out of

585
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: the slot, by the way, is what he'll do. And

586
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: guys like Hines Ward, Reggie Wayne, uh Larry Fitzgerald obviously

587
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: in Arizona. Yeah, these are a hundred catch guys under

588
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: Arians offense. So I'm going god When with the value

589
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: over Evans, even though I love them both. Again, Yeah,

590
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: it's um Godwin's got freaky upside, freaky upside. You know

591
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: Evans does too, but you're you're paying that. You know

592
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: you're paying a two round differential. I think that I

593
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: think that can make some sense. Godwin easily one of

594
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: the most hyped players of this summer. We've had so

595
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: much fun with this debate between players. Let's keep it rolling.

596
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: We'll keep slicing up teammates and telling you which one

597
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: to target in your draft or your auction. And you've

598
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: heard us talking about the Guillotine League, the hottest new

599
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: format and fantasy sports. Seventeen teams. In each week, the

600
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: low scoring team gets cut from the league and their

601
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: entire roster goes to the waiver wire. It makes for

602
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: insane waiver why are runs? You can learn more and

603

617
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: God butchery chart chain is all the time. Church Ian.

618
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: It's easy. Well, of course, I think it's easy Christian

619
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: at Cooler Heads twenty nine comes from uh. My favorite

620
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: player at the University of Minnesota Duluth hockey team when

621
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: I was growing up in Duluth, Minnesota was Brett Hull.

622
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: He worked there, you go. He's no Steve Isser. You

623
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: can hear us over the air on many stations around

624
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: the country, and this show is also a podcast available

625
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: every Friday on all major podcasting platforms, including the number

626
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: one destination for podcasts, the I Heart Radio app. Guys,

627
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: Let's return to our discussion about draftable teammates. These are

628
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: two guys who played the same position on the same team,

629
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: but based on their average draft position, who would you

630
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: rather choose Christian. We begin with you and Melvin Gordon

631
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: verse and going in by the way, we should mention

632
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: going in roughly the early third round, late second round,

633
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler in the sixth round, or Justin Jackson buried

634
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: way down in like round eleven. Which guy should we

635
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: focus on? Yeah, Gordon's ADP is going the wrong way here.

636
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: He's the middle of round three, maybe even getting worse

637
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: here as there is unlike the Ezekiel Elliott situation, where

638
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: there's a ray of hope, there appears no end in

639
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: sight for Melvin Gordon. The Chargers have dug in on

640
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: this one in part because they do have such a

641
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: capable backup in Ekeler, who has averaged over five point

642
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: two yards per carry in his first two NFL seasons,

643
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: and last year, even with Gordon handling the vast majority

644
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: of the load, Ekeler had nine and sixty combined rushing

645
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: and receiving yards and six touchdowns and a five yard

646
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: per carry average. Charger five. Chargers seem to have the

647
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: leverage here, but you know so, Ekeler in round six

648
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: seems like a good value. But Gordon still could return.

649
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: He has to come back by halfway through the year. Yeah,

650
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: week ten, in order to crew another year towards free agency,

651
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: which he absolutely would want to do. So Gordon's coming

652
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: back at some point. So are you investing around six

653
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: pick in Eckler or both a round three and around

654
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: six just to lock up that backfield? That seems like

655
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: a lot so scenario. I'm actually going with Justin Jackson here.

656
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm going with the dart throw. He was actually pretty

657
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: good late last year. He had over three combined rushing

658
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: and receiving yards and two touchdowns in a five game

659
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: stretch to close out the year last year. And Ekeler

660
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: actually had a couple of games late last year where

661
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: he was the starter and supposedly the bell cow. He

662
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: did not perform very well in those two games. So

663
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: if and when Gordon misses a few games earlier in

664
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: the year, Justin Jackson is going to be involved. So

665
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm more intrigued by him as a as a lotto

666
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: ticket in the round in round eleven than either of

667
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: these other guys in round three or round so. Right,

668
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: So you can just flush that pick and it doesn't

669
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: doesn't materially hurt your team. If you got to just

670
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: cut him out right. What resonates with me is the

671
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: first preseason game Eckler fumbled from the two yard line

672
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: and then later Jackson had a violent touchdown. I think

673
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: the goal line duty. You know, if if Gordon is

674
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: not their goal line duty is going to Justin Jackson.

675
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: But I'll mention being a goal line duty. Melvin Gordon

676
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: has the second most touchdowns from inside the five since

677
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 1: he entered the league. So that's amazing because he didn't

678
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: score a touchdowns rookie year. Whenever that he got blank

679
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: is crazy. Let's go to uh, let's go to the

680
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: situation in Carolina between DJ Moore currently going in the

681
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: fifth round and Curtis Samuel was a seventh round average

682
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: draft position. Which teammate do you like better? Another win

683
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: win situation really outside of this Cam Newton news, but

684
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: we won't we won't touch on that. Let's just pretend

685
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: Cam's gonna be okay or let's hope. So starting with

686
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: DJ Moore as a rookie last year, he led all

687
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: players with at least fifty catches and yards after the

688
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: catch on a per reception basis, and became just one

689
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: of seventeen receivers to post six receiving yards at twenty

690
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: one years old, he joined a list that includes Randy Moss,

691
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: Amari Coope, Mike Evans, Keenan, Allen Juju, DeAndre Hopkins, and

692
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon to be nice company to and UH now

693
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: over to Samuel's side and his second pro season last year.

694
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: He didn't become a regular starter until Week eight and

695
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: he missed the last games due to injury, but he

696
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: looked really good when given the opportunity UH, including rushing

697
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: the ball. He had two rushing touchdowns in addition to

698
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: what he did catching the ball. UH. He's no gimmick player,

699
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: though he has the making of number one as well,

700
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: and to see that you just look at his red

701
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: zone usage. In his limited UH game action, he had

702
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: more touchdowns in the red zone than George Kittle, Jarvis Langy,

703
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: Corey Davis, Allen Robinson, and Jimmy Graham. Three of his

704
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: four red zone receptions went for touchdowns, which is very efficient.

705
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: And while four red zone receptions doesn't seem like a lot,

706
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: if you extracts it's not a lot. It's not. But

707
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 1: only fifteen wide receivers at double digit red zone receptions

708
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: last year, and most of them are under fifteen on

709
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: that list, So I'm sorry Samuel very much in that

710
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: company over a full season's work. This is a tough one.

711
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: This is really tough one for me because I know,

712
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: I know you love d J. Moore. I do, and

713
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: I love Curtis Samuel, and really they're almost the same player.

714
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: And in that case, I just got to take the

715
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: cheaper one here and go Curtis Samuel. But man, this

716
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: is an instance. If I knew Cam was fully healthy,

717
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 1: I'd be comfortable owning both of these guys and Cam

718
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: on one team. I think Samuel is stronger, and I

719
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: think he's more elusive. I think he's I think he's

720
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: the I think he's more dangerous. If you asked me

721
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna score one of these who's gonna score from

722
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 1: you know, sixty yards and breaking two tackles to get there?

723
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's Curtis sam Don't don't

724
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: slouch on more after the catch, though, he's he's tough

725
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: to bring down. We'll find out, and I'm with you.

726
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: I think you got I think you identified the right guy.

727
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: Al right. Next, let's go back to Christian Odell Beckham

728
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: going in the late first round or Jarvis Landry going

729
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: in the sixth round for Cleveland. Which receiver do you

730
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: prefer at his average draft position? Yeah, so Beckham, like

731
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: you mentioned, he has a late first round or the

732
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: fourth wide receiver off the board right now, behind DeAndre Hopkins,

733
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, Michael Thomas. We know his upside is as

734
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: the number one overall fantasy wide receiver. We've seen what

735
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: he can do. Charge I believe you have him listed

736
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: as you're had move down. I'm moving down to five

737
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: just because he's already hurt, and you know, just the

738
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: freaky upside for Odell beck And he could easily be

739
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: the top scoring He's never had a quarterback as good

740
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: as Baker Mayfield's going to be this year ever in

741
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: his whole career. Yeah, there's no the upside is unquestioned.

742
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: But I mean you're buying him at his upside in

743
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: the first round. You can't buy him any any earlier

744
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: than you are. Right Well, the only I'm buying is

745
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm getting late first round instead of mid instead of

746
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: first wide receiver off the board at at five or six.

747
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: So contrast that, however, to Landry, who has had the

748
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: following career Fantasy finishes in PPR formats wide receiver nineteen

749
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: last year, that was his worst year. Wide receiver, four,

750
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 1: wide receiver thirteen, Wide receiver eleven. He's never had fewer

751
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 1: than a hundred and twelve targets in a season. He's

752
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: always been playing in significantly worse offenses than what he's

753
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: playing in now. And despite all of that, despite all

754
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: those elite level finishes from Landry, right now, he's the

755
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver off the board. I don't understand it. I mean,

756
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is fantastic. They have all of these weapons

757
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: around them. Their new offensive coordinator, Todd Mounkan got seventies,

758
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: six catches and five touchdowns out of Adam Humphries. Landry

759
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: plays out of the slot and he's significantly better than

760
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: Adam Humphries. So, as you can probably tell, I would

761
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 1: prefer to have Javis Landry way down in the sixth

762
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: round then Beckham in round one. I was all I was.

763
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: I was totally in on Beckham before you gave that

764
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: Ratchean now or Jarvis Landry, and now I'm I'm I'm

765
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: you flipped my you flipped my opinion on all right,

766
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: you changed my mind too, because the road is Landry

767
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: burned people last year and I was one of them.

768
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 1: And yeah, Beckham, You're just like, it's not gonna get

769
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: any better. But it might. It might get better. It

770
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: might get better because Odell Beckham's away from him and

771
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: he's you know, there's a lot of reasons where I

772
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 1: could get better for Jarvis Landry this year. Back to Brian,

773
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: let's go to Let's go to San Francisco and one

774
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: of the murky ist wide receiver situations. Do you like

775
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 1: Dante Pettis in the eighth round or Deebo Samuel rookie

776
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: receiver in the fourteen Alright, let's start with Dante at

777
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: a quote unquote peak Pettis last year. You know, he's

778
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: six game stretch towards the end of the year where

779
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: he totally went off. He never saw more than se

780
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: seven targets or had more, and he just had five

781
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 1: catches twice during that span. So there wasn't a ton

782
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: of volume for Pettis there. He did have success in

783
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: the red zone on paper, but he didn't see just

784
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: one target from inside the ten yard line. He's not

785
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: a big end zone end zone threat. That's really George

786
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: Kittle's territory territory. But uh, I don't see a bumping

787
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: targets coming for Pettis when you consider Kittle. Of course,

788
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: they want Trent Taylor to factor out of the slot.

789
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: He should be ready by week one. Mark He's Goodwin

790
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: is back. Jalen heard this rookie is turning in. And

791
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: then there's Deebo Samuel who they drafted in the second round,

792
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: who's looked great this preseason. And really, Deebo is a

793
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: very similar player to Um Pettison. He's he's about an

794
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: inch in height. They both round four equally as fast. Yeah,

795
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: but Deebo's got like twenty pounds of muscle on Pettis,

796
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: and I think that makes him more of a factor

797
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: after the catch, more of a factor in the red zone.

798
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: He can muscle defenders much more easily than Pettis, who

799
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: doesn't have the height to separate as well. So I'm

800
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: taking Deebo at a discount. I know you're gonna hate it,

801
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: charge because you're a big Pettis guy like Pettis, but

802
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: I gotta go value here and I'm gonna go Deebo.

803
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: You know there. Uh, Pettis has managed to get his

804
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 1: head coach Kyle Shanahan to call him out publicly about

805
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 1: you know, he's got a step up and stuff, blah

806
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: blah blah. I think that's, you know, I just think

807
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: that's a motivational talk. I think that's him trying to

808
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 1: light a fire under a kid that maybe got a

809
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: little too full of himself with the success he had

810
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: from last year. He listens to the show Pettis does,

811
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: and he heard me talking about how great he is

812
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: uh in previous versions of Fantasy Football Weekly. I think

813
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: that went to his head a little bit. Um. All

814
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: that said, Deebo Samuel's practically free in the fourteenth round,

815
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: and I feel as good about him getting playing time

816
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: as I do anybody in this offense. So as much

817
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,479
Speaker 1: as I as much as optimistic as I am about

818
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: Dante Pettis, I'm kind of with you on Deebo Samuel's

819
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 1: the right pick here, factoring in the average draft position.

820
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: Let's go to another thorny one and one that's it's

821
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 1: it's shifting sands constantly Kansas City's backfield. Damian Williams, you

822
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: gotta pay a end of second round price for or

823
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 1: Darwin Thompson in round twelve, yeah, I mean, I mean,

824
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: there was a point before training camp opened when Damian

825
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: Williams was approaching like first round. Yes he was. That's

826
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: how excited people were about this guy after the last year.

827
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: What we saw at the end of last year. You

828
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: can't blame him. Eight touchdowns games in the final five

829
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: games of last year. It was running back four after

830
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 1: Cream Hunt left the team. Four. Clearly, that's very compelling.

831
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: But he also in his previous four seasons average three

832
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: and a half yards per carry, never received more than

833
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: forty six carries or twenty two receptions in a season.

834
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: He's twenties seven years old. He's a journeyman. Nobody wanted him, like,

835
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: there's there's no precedent for this, for a guy coming

836
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: in and spending the first four years on the bench

837
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: and then turning into a fantasy superstar. But anyways, preseason starts,

838
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: training camp starts all of a sudden. The sixth row

839
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: on rookie Darwin Thompson looks incredible, really explosive. He played

840
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: at a small college, but he has a lot of

841
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: very good physical traits. He's fast, he's strong, he's elusive,

842
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: and he's shown it in the preseason. So I'm not

843
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: a believer in Damian Williams. I think there's too much risk,

844
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: certainly in the second round and even in the third round.

845
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: I'd rather take the dark throw on Darwin Thompson in

846
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: the twelfth. Coming up next, let's answer three tough questions.

847
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: You can play along. Answer the tough questions, see if

848
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: you can go a perfect three and oh on Fantasy

857
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: I'm pul Charchi and Koner fanball dot Com. My cohorts.

858
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:53,479
Speaker 1: My co hosts are Brian Johnson and Christian Peterson. Guys,

859
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: it's time to get into the grinder with three tough questions. Listeners,

860
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 1: you can play along, see if you can go three

861
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: and oh it's a themed version this week we don't

862
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 1: normally have. Normally they're just sort of scattershot random three

863
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 1: tough questions. This is a theme. We begin with tough

864
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: question number one. Who is this year's biggest risk reward quarterbacks?

865
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: So this is the quarterback that will provide the highest

866
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: upside and downside among all the available quarterbacks. Who do

867
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 1: you got, Brian? I'm gonna go with Deshaun Watson, who

868
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: right now is going as a late fifth round pick.

869
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 1: Really quarterback to in most most drafts. I've seen the

870
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: good with the Shawn. He's got DeAndre Hopkins into arguably

871
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: wide receiver one in all of the world. Uh, hop

872
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: um Sorry. Watson also very mobile, third among quarterbacks and

873
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: rushing yards and touchdowns last season. Has a new o

874
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: C offensive coordinator, Tim Miller, who is highly regarded. Uh.

875
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,439
Speaker 1: He plays great with Will Fuller Watson that is levin

876
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: touchdowns and eleven games when they're on the field together.

877
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: Fuller coming off in a c L reports are somewhat encouraging,

878
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: but uh, that leads me to the bad um. Without

879
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 1: the proven durability of his secondary receivers will will Fuller,

880
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,439
Speaker 1: who has missed fifteen games over the last two years,

881
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: and Kiki Qtie who missed eleven games last year already

882
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: injured his ankle this preseason. It's all that's been all

883
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: Hopkins and the rushing behind an awful offensive line that

884
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 1: was forced to sign Matt Khalil of all people who

885
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: might be their left tackle. They didn't forced to sign,

886
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: they just chose to sign. I don't know who does that,

887
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: but yeah, front office does it. I guess No. GM

888
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: eighty one sacks in twenty three games for Watson. I'm

889
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: just afraid history is gonna repeat itself because last year

890
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: he was going to off his quarterback to three, finished

891
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: his quarterback twelve. That's too much of a gap for me,

892
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: and nothing has really changed. I don't trust will Fuller

893
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: stay healthy coming off the A c L. The old

894
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: line is still very wobbly. So he's way too high

895
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: risk high reward for me. All right, who is this

896
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 1: year's biggest risk reward quarterback? Christian My initial thought when

897
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: I when I got this assignment was Kyler Murray because

898
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: of the massive upside. But you're really not risking much

899
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: with him. A tenth rounder, So instead I went with

900
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. He's currently the QB four right now by

901
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: a DP somewhere in round seven, round eight ish. The

902
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: upside is obvious. We've already talked a little bit about it.

903
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: But based on his performance from last year, especially in

904
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,720
Speaker 1: the eight games after Freddie Kitchens took over last year, Mayfield,

905
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 1: through nineteen touchdowns, completed over sixty percent of his passes.

906
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 1: Really thrived when he started throwing the ball deep down field.

907
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 1: And then in the off season they go out in

908
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: the add Odell Beckham clearly one of the best deep

909
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: threats in the game. They've got emerging young players all

910
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: over the place here. We talked about Jarvis Landry, David

911
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: tight end, David Najoku, running back, Nick Chubb, maybe later

912
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: in the year, Kareem hot So everything is set up

913
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: for success here. But yeah, we don't really know. It's

914
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: all it's all conjecture. It's all based on what we

915
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: saw in half a season of work. We don't really

916
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: know about Beckham. He could, you know, mess things up

917
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: in the locker room. We've seen him be a divisive force.

918
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: So you're having to take Baker Mayfield is the fourth

919
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 1: quarterback off the board ahead of Andrew Luck, Matt Ryan,

920
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, a lot of much more established players. So

921
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: that's why I think there's their significant risk here as well.

922
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: You gets touched on the two finalists that I chose,

923
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: although it did not ultimately select Kyler. Murray was in

924
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: that conversation until I saw exactly what you did the

925
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: tenth round ADP. I'm not risking enough to Shaun Watson.

926
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about him later. I think there is

927
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: a lot of risk there. But what about the correct answer.

928
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers going off the board as quarterback three in

929
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: fan among all fantasy players, and to get him you

930
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: gotta go around six. That's not a trivial that's not

931
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:35,240
Speaker 1: a trivial draft pick. Everything could go right for Aaron Rodgers.

932
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: Maybe it really was all Mike McCarthy's fault. And maybe

933
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: now he's set up with a coach who has been

934
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 1: a great quarterback advisor, at least was with the Rams.

935
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: Didn't get anything of Marcus Mariota um and that now

936
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: with Davante Adams, you've got young receivers who look like

937
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: they're going to be a lot better in your number

938
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: two and in Doronto Allison and Marquees Valdez Scantling. Maybe

939
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: it all comes together, or maybe Matt Lafleur is in

940
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 1: way over his head. He wasn't ready to coach yet,

941
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: he wasn't able to get Marcus Mariota there. Maybe Aaron

942
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: Rodgers is going to steamroll this guy and try to

943
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: run the team like he did at the end of

944
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,839
Speaker 1: last year after they fired McCarthy, and this thing's gonna

945
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: tank badly. Remember last season, Aaron Rodgers the most scoring systems,

946
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 1: but somewhere between quarterback twelve and eighteen, he was bad, bad,

947
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 1: And that's that's a chance that you still have with

948
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Let's move on to tough question number two.

949
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 1: Who is the biggest risk reward running back this year?

950
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 1: Christian you get to have the honors to go first. Yeah.

951
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: I went back to Cleveland on this one with Nick

952
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: Chubb in part because I've seen him in drafts recently

953
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: being taken as high as number four or number five. Overall,

954
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: people love Nick Chubb right now. It's partially because as

955
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: soon as the Browns traded Duke Johnson away, it became

956
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: clear that they were probably gonna pass a little bit

957
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: more to Chubb, and that was maybe the one part

958
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:00,800
Speaker 1: of his game that he was missing or that we

959
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: didn't see last year. But we saw how good Chub

960
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: could be last year at the same time Baker Mayfield exploded,

961
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: so did Chub. So I get what I get the

962
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: upside here, and it's tantalizing. What I hate is the

963
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 1: fact that Kareem Hunt could be back, that could be back,

964
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: will be, We'll be back by week nine. And Kareem

965
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: Hunt was one of you know, the top two or three,

966
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: four or five or whatever top fantasy running back uh

967
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: in in every every season that we've seen, So you

968
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: might be cruising along with the overall number one running

969
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: back all season long for the first eight weeks. But

970
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: what happens when Hunt comes back. I mean maybe in

971
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks they just kind of work

972
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: him in a little bit here and there. But Hunt

973
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: is just so talented that I think he's gonna have

974
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: a significant role after he comes back. And that's a

975
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:49,839
Speaker 1: risk that I'm not willing to take. All Right, Brian,

976
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: who is the biggest risk reward running back on the

977
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: board for fantasy drafters. I'm gonna stay close to home

978
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 1: here in Minneapolis and say Dalvin Cook, who right now

979
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: is going in mid second in most drafts, I've seen

980
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: him go in the first and some and that's because

981
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: of this guy is the limit in a bell cow

982
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: role that he should take on this year coming off

983
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 1: the a c L suffered in Week four last year,

984
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: had the shoulder injuries in college, but makes some little

985
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:16,720
Speaker 1: injury prone. That's really the only concern for Cook himself

986
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: is the injuries. If he stays healthy, he has RB

987
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 1: one potential with the Vikings. But what makes him risk

988
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: here outside of the injuries is he's a guy you

989
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: probably want a handcuff. But who are you going to

990
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: handcuff him too? Is it Mike Boone or is it

991
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison? You know, everybody, everybody close to this team

992
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,479
Speaker 1: says it's Madison. I think that's been the draft capital. Again,

993
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 1: it's the same, it's the draft capital bit. You gotta

994
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 1: They picked him in the third round. But Boone has looked,

995
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: you're closer to the team than I am. Charching. Uh,

996
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: I see, I'm I I kind of like Boone. But

997
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: everybody close to the team tells me that it's it's Madison. Well,

998
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: it's not the run with the first team offense in

999
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: every preseason game. I'd like to have at least a

1000
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: clear cut handcuff if I'm forced to handcuff of stud

1001
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: running back, and that's it's not quite evident there, So

1002
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook and when you're when you your league this year,

1003
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,760
Speaker 1: But he could lose it if he does get injured.

1004
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: But I'm crossing my fingers. I'm all in on him, though,

1005
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: So let's go. This year's biggest risk reward running back

1006
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 1: is Leonard four Nett. At this time a year ago,

1007
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 1: four Nette was coming off the board at the end

1008
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: of the first round because he was coming off a

1009
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: season in which he was RB eight in Fantasy points,

1010
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: the eighth highest scoring fantasy player. But last year, as

1011
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: you all know, disaster because of the soft tissue injuries

1012
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 1: and a horrible offensive line that was riddled with injuries.

1013
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 1: His running was tentative. He just wasn't himself all year.

1014
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: And maybe all that repeats himself. Maybe it's he set

1015
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: up for another year of soft tissue injuries. Maybe, but

1016
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,399
Speaker 1: the offensive line got improved in the off season. It's

1017
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 1: healthy now and he's got the upside four net does

1018
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: of a top five player. He's the rare workhorse in

1019
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: a league that has very few workhorses. There's no competition

1020
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: for carries here at all. He'll get all of those.

1021
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 1: He's enjoying the best quarterbacking of his career, of his

1022
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 1: career with Nick Foles, and you figure offensive line improved

1023
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: and better, and then all the pass catching they've they've

1024
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 1: thrown him in the preseason training camp O t a

1025
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: s it looks like he's sitting on a much improved

1026
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 1: PPR production as well, which has when one of the

1027
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: few things that seld him back. Leonard four Nette could

1028
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: be a top five fantasy player, or we could miss

1029
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: the whole season with ongoing growing injuries. So who's to

1030
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: say Letard four net the biggest risk reward running back.

1031
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 1: Let's move on to tough question number three. Who is

1032
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 1: the year's biggest risk reward wide receiver? Back? To Brian,

1033
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: who you got? I couldn't help myself. It's Antonio Brown

1034
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: going uh ninth pick in the second round. Since in

1035
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 1: reverse order, among players who qualify with the most receiving touchdowns,

1036
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:51,280
Speaker 1: it goes like this. Davante Adams thirty nine, Mike Evans forty,

1037
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:56,879
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham forty four, DeAndre Hopkins forty five, Antonio Brown nine.

1038
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: We know the upside, uh, but he's on a whole

1039
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: new team. We all know that as well. And Derek

1040
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 1: Carr is not Ben Roethlisberger. And I'm gonna go to

1041
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: my boy Graham Barfield with the stat on a deep

1042
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: ball accuracy attempt by season, and these are passes of

1043
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: twenty five plus yards. Uh. Roethlisberger in sixteen he was

1044
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: the most accurate, seen, the most accurate. Last year, the

1045
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: ninth most accurate. Derek Carr the second lowest. Banner year eighteen,

1046
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 1: last year fourth lowest. So, outside of the cerebral issues

1047
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:36,320
Speaker 1: that may exist with Antonio Brown, the quarterbacking and just

1048
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 1: the team in general makes him incredibly volatile, but there

1049
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 1: is certainly a high ceiling if all the cards fall

1050
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: the right way with him. All Right, Christian, I too

1051
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: went with Antonio Brown the number one, two or three

1052
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:50,800
Speaker 1: fantasy wide receiver five years in a row. I'll pile

1053
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 1: on a little bit about the difference between Pittsburgh and Oakland.

1054
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: Last year, Oakland eighty fewer passing yards per game, a

1055
00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:00,839
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty fewer pass attempts throughout the season, uh.

1056
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: In terms of points scored per game, Pittsburgh scored the

1057
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:06,760
Speaker 1: fifth most points in the league. Oakland scored most points

1058
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: in the league. That's eight and a half points per

1059
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: game less. And yeah, I mean, we know what the

1060
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: upside is, but how's it gonna go for Antonio Brown

1061
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 1: when the Raiders start inevitably start losing this year? This

1062
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 1: guy is a diva. You have no idea what's going

1063
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 1: to happen. So I agree Antonio Brown. Yeah, uh, this

1064
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,800
Speaker 1: one was a layup. It is Antonio Brown highest ri

1065
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 1: screw ward. He could be the you know, maybe he

1066
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: ends up his wide receiver one again because he's done

1067
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:35,839
Speaker 1: it before, or maybe Oakland's crappy offensive line doesn't give

1068
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: Derek Carr even the time to set up on those

1069
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 1: deep passes that Antonio Brown is how so many times

1070
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: when he was with Pittsburgh. And then I think you

1071
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 1: raised one of the great points that nobody's talking about.

1072
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 1: He's used to winning at a high level for his

1073
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 1: whole career. Last year was the first time he wasn't

1074
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:57,240
Speaker 1: on a particularly successful playoff bound Steelers team. And what happened,

1075
00:55:57,719 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, he he had to leave the team. They

1076
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 1: got rid of him, what happens when the Raiders start

1077
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: one and six? Oh god, I can't tell you for

1078
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: sure that at some point the team doesn't ask him

1079
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 1: to leave this year. That's a real possibility that Mayock

1080
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 1: and Gruden just tell him to leave. That's you know,

1081
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 1: this thing could end in a grievance somewhere, you know,

1082
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: sitting in a you know, sitting in court. Who knows.

1083
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: There's so much weird risk with Antonio Brown. It was

1084
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 1: an easy answer. You all got it right. Hopefully the

1085
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 1: listeners went three and oh. Let me ask you this.

1086
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: Let's take my three answers. As for the high risk,

1087
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: high reward guys, how would you feel about coming out

1088
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 1: of your draft with all three high risk, high reward

1089
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:43,360
Speaker 1: guys and just taking in saying to yourself, you know what,

1090
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 1: you know, all these guys come with a certain discount

1091
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,319
Speaker 1: because of the risk. And I want to roll the dice.

1092
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: I've got your It's it's Leonard four Nett you can

1093
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: get in the late second round, early third round, it's

1094
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in the sixth round, and it's Antonio Brown,

1095
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 1: whose ADP I think is where you can say, second

1096
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:04,479
Speaker 1: third pick, you get four net Brown at the turn second. Okay,

1097
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: there you go. That's fair. Is would you feel comfortable

1098
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 1: with that draft strategy? Of course not. I mean I

1099
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 1: generally don't mind the high risk, high rewards sort of

1100
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: draft strategy. I mean, rather than finishing sixth or seventh

1101
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: place in my league, I'd rather just go for it,

1102
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 1: right I want. I want to win a championship. Sometimes

1103
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to. Sometimes I might just be horrible and

1104
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 1: finished near dead last. So I like that. I like that.

1105
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 1: But what I don't like are the players. I mean,

1106
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: four Net and Rogers just don't do anything for me that.

1107
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 1: I think the risks far away the reward on Brown.

1108
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't do it with those. I could live

1109
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: with Fournet, Rodgers. It's Brown that's scared, especially where he's

1110
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: going in a lot of drafts right now. It's to me,

1111
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: I my risk profile, my draft. I want the risk

1112
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 1: at the bottom of my draft, not the top middle

1113
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: of my draft. So I couldn't. I couldn't stomach having

1114
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 1: that much risk coming in my rounds three and four,

1115
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: in five and six too early. We've done dozens of drafts,

1116
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, and sometimes you look back at least I do,

1117
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 1: and you realize there are guys I never drafted. We

1118
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: will look at the guys that are in the black

1119
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: hole of fantasy. Find out our blacklist, the guys we

1120
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: never draft. Coming up next on Fantasy Football Weekly. It

1121
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: is a pre season addition of Fantasy Football Weekly. I

1122
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 1: am Paul Charchy, and you know you're seeing. Your draft

1123
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: is about picking the right players, you know, but it's

1124
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: also about avoiding the wrong players. That's half the battle, right.

1125
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: We talk all the time about the players we want

1126
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 1: to take, but we don't always talk about the players

1127
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 1: that we don't plan to draft. Often it's not always

1128
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 1: just a matter of just like I don't like that guy,

1129
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,919
Speaker 1: I would never draft him under any circumstances. We're gonna

1130
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 1: break down three quarterbacks, three running backs, and three wide

1131
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: receivers we never draft. You know, all the mock drafts

1132
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 1: we've done, the real drafts that we've done, the guillotine

1133
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: league drafts, all the things. No matter the format, the

1134
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: scoring system, the situation, these are guys we never end

1135
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 1: up with. Will begin at the quarterback position. Brian Johnson,

1136
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 1: who you got? I got? Andrew Luck and uh and all. Honestly,

1137
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: I'd look before the injury concerns that have popped up

1138
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks or the last week

1139
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:38,479
Speaker 1: or so. Um, he was going a quarterback three before

1140
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 1: the injury news. Now he's more like quarterback six, going

1141
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 1: roughly the first pick in the eighth round. Yeah, he's

1142
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 1: my number seven quarterback. I might cheat, And in general,

1143
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: I'm just a weight on a quarterback guy in one

1144
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 1: quarterback leagues, which just put some way out of my

1145
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: purview already. But I'm even fading him in two quarterback formats.

1146
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm just not playing this injury game with Luck. We've

1147
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: seen a couple of years ago. Granted it's an ankle now,

1148
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: not not his shoulder, which in cold bodes better for

1149
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback I suppose. But Jacoby Brissette might be the

1150
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 1: best backup in the NFL, and Indies like shopping him

1151
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 1: or if someone wants him, they got to give up

1152
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 1: a means he's not going anywhere, and right now you

1153
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 1: couldn't you know. They're not moving set at all right now,

1154
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: and they have confidence in him going into the season,

1155
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 1: so there's no rush to bring Luck back. And when

1156
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 1: they do, we saw it already last year. He used

1157
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: to run the ball a fair amount and it's four

1158
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: like full seasons, four full healthy seasons. He was averaging

1159
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 1: well over sixty rushing rushing attempts for for the year.

1160
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: It has just forty six rushing atemps last year, so

1161
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: that was a significant drop. It's gonna drop further behind

1162
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: a great old line with a strong running game and

1163
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 1: a good defense that they don't need Luck to be

1164
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: running the ball around, especially Hurt. So I'm just all

1165
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: out on Andrew Luck not touching him. I don't care

1166
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 1: if it drops to quarterback ten. I mean, I'm increasingly

1167
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 1: interested in Luck because he's becoming so cheap that if

1168
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: it's only going to cost me, you know, instead of

1169
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 1: costing me the fifth rounder that he was three weeks ago,

1170
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 1: it's now going to cost me an eighth or ninth

1171
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 1: rounder and I can just go him up with somebody

1172
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 1: else later. That's starting to get more palatable to me.

1173
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm more interested in him, all right, Christian, who do

1174
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: you have as your blacklist quarterback the guy you never

1175
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 1: end up drafting. I've got Patrick mahomes Um, and believe

1176
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 1: it or not, he is my number one quarterback. That's

1177
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: not the issue. But his ADP right now is twenty

1178
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 1: three overall, So that's late second round. You know, all

1179
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: you have to do is you can google Patrick Mahomes

1180
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: and regression and you will find all sorts of articles

1181
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 1: that talk about how he most likely can't possibly repeat

1182
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 1: his historically good season from last year. Nobody's ever done

1183
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 1: it before, nobody, nobody's ever So I'll just you know,

1184
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 1: I'm not going to list out all of those reasons.

1185
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: Here's the one that I like the best that I found.

1186
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 1: Since there have been thirteen seasons in which a quarterback

1187
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 1: through forty or more touchdowns in a season. This list

1188
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: includes Tom Brady, Peyton Manning several times, Dan Marino, Drew Brees,

1189
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 1: you know, all time grades in in the following year,

1190
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 1: those quarterbacks average sixteen and a half fewer touchdown passes.

1191
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: And even if if you factor out things like Tom

1192
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 1: Brady missed an entire season, if you go to the

1193
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: next season after that, even if you factor an injury,

1194
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 1: then it's still is thirteen fewer touchdowns the following years.

1195
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 1: So I just can't justify spending a second rounder on

1196
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. You're basically paying for another record setting historical

1197
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,919
Speaker 1: season at that price. The next quarterback off the board

1198
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 1: right now is the Shaun Watson forty spots later. Yeah,

1199
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 1: So I just I can't risk a second rounder and

1200
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:36,920
Speaker 1: when I can just get a perfectly good quarterback a

1201
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 1: lot later on. But there's this with Mahomes other than

1202
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 1: history telling us it's very unlikely. Name a reason. I mean,

1203
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 1: that's that's the problem, right He looks so good and

1204
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:54,320
Speaker 1: so incredible and kills back all of this talent there

1205
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 1: and Andy Reid's offense, and there are a lot of

1206
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: reasons why it couldn't happen. It couldn't buck the trend.

1207
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing about Patrick Mahomes that makes him

1208
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 1: to me still enticing Fantasy football is about having fun.

1209
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: And when he goes back to pass and you see

1210
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: him launching that sixty yard pass behind the back, or

1211
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 1: that the sixty yard or it's at its apex of

1212
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: its arc, and so are you off the couch. You're

1213
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:26,439
Speaker 1: spilling the popcorn and the beer all over the place.

1214
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 1: You were jumping off the couch to see if it's

1215
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 1: going to be resting in the arms of Tyreek Hill

1216
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 1: on the other end, and it might be. He's so

1217
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 1: exciting and so fun to have on your team. Everybody

1218
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 1: who didn't have him last year. Wants Patrick Mahomes this

1219
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 1: year because you were watching those highlights and just going oh,

1220
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 1: I could have had him in the tenth round last year,

1221
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 1: and I passed on him, and I dive. That's the

1222
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: thing about Patrick Mahomes. But the regression is probably coming.

1223
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 1: I've got to Shawn Watson. Bran already broke down a

1224
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:04,240
Speaker 1: lot of Deshaun Watson. While he's nervous about him, I

1225
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 1: am too. He is my one of my highest rated quarterbacks.

1226
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: He's my number three quarterback. So you know, much like

1227
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 1: you with Patrick Mahomes, I like him a lot. I'm

1228
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 1: not paying my six round a DP on Deshaun Watson.

1229
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 1: U there's certainly upside. He can run, his run and

1230
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: pass his way to points, and I love that. But

1231
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:21,439
Speaker 1: I can find other quarterbacks who can run and pass

1232
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 1: their way to points for a lot less and not

1233
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: have to pay the six round a DP. I can

1234
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 1: get Baker Mayfield with some mobility in the eighth round.

1235
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: I can get Russell Wilson in the tenth round, Lamar

1236
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 1: Jackson and the eleventh round, Dak Prescott in the twelfth round,

1237
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 1: and they give me run pass options and I don't

1238
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: have to pay anywhere near that much. And I'll remind

1239
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 1: you Watson suffered sixty two spine shattering sacks last year,

1240
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 1: sixty two. The fact that he played every game was

1241
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 1: a miracle. He's like thirty years old, now, that's right.

1242
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 1: They they they've sacked him into an early and early grave.

1243
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 1: If he if I told you he was going to

1244
01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:01,520
Speaker 1: absorb another sixty two sacks behind Pro Football Focus is

1245
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 1: thirty first ranked offensive line. Would you tell me he's

1246
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 1: gonna play sixteen games? It's not. It's not promising. That's

1247
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 1: why I can't take Deshaun Watson. Let's continue on with

1248
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 1: our blacklist. These are the guys that we never find

1249
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 1: ourselves drafting. We begin now with the running back position.

1250
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: Brian who This guy is sure to disappoint all those

1251
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: in the black hole. It's Josh Jacobs. No, thank you, sir,

1252
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs. By the way, the famed backup to Damien

1253
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: Harris at their time at Alabama didn't even start. Only

1254
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders would take the backup over the starter. And

1255
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 1: that's really does it. Uh. I don't trust anything that

1256
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 1: Oakland does. They're carrying four running backs into the season.

1257
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 1: By the way. That doesn't bode well for Josh Jacobs

1258
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 1: and Jalen Richard is going to own the third down

1259
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 1: work regardless of Jacobs or Doug Martin getting the majority

1260
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 1: of the carries. It will be Jacobs to start the season,

1261
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 1: but again they're running behind a really bad old line

1262
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 1: ranks twenty six by Pro Football Focus. When you have

1263
01:05:57,160 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 1: to go out and sign Richie Incognito for depth, that's

1264
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 1: not so Jacob's in the early fourth I'm just fully

1265
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 1: out on this. I don't I don't see him returning

1266
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 1: even RB two value throughout the season. He's FLEXI play

1267
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 1: at best in my mind. Okay, Christian your black list

1268
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: running back. I will go with Todd Gurley and let

1269
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: me tell you a few things about degenerative knee arthritis.

1270
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 1: A right good at first. You may notice pain in

1271
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: the morning or after you've been inactive for a while.

1272
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 1: Your knees may hurt when you climb stairs, stand up

1273
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: from a sitting position, or Neil, well, wait, does he

1274
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 1: ever have to stand up from a sitting position? Todd curling. Never.

1275
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: It may hurt just to go for a walk. You

1276
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 1: may also feel pain when you're simply sitting down. Some

1277
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 1: people with arthritis say that damp weather or other changes

1278
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 1: in the weather can bring on pain. Well is in

1279
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 1: l a so you don't have to sweat that that.

1280
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:54,479
Speaker 1: Some people with arthritis say that when multiple three pound

1281
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 1: men are constantly attempting to bash, crush, and generally grind

1282
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 1: your body into a million tiny pieces, that may also

1283
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:04,440
Speaker 1: bring on pain. Over time, your knee muscles weaken and

1284
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 1: the entire joint structure becomes unstable. Overall, weakness in the

1285
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 1: knee can cause it to give way or buckle. The

1286
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 1: joint can also stick or lock up so that you

1287
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 1: can't bend or straighten it out. Eventually. You may feel

1288
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 1: a grinding sensation in your knees as you move. I'm

1289
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 1: filling one right now. Just listening to you might even

1290
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 1: hear cracking or popping sounds coming from your knees. Arthritis

1291
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 1: can make it increasingly challenging for your knee joints to

1292
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 1: glide as they should, making previously simple movements difficult or

1293
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: even impossible. You're most likely to notice a restricted range

1294
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 1: of motion when you climb stairs or participate in athletic

1295
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 1: activities like football. May you may have trouble walking without

1296
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 1: a cane or a walker for all of these reasons.

1297
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 1: Time out on Todd Gurley and his chronically arthritic knee. Yes,

1298
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 1: I've got James Conner currently going off the board is

1299
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: the last pick of the first round, and what a

1300
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 1: mistake that's going to be. I think for people now

1301
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 1: in some cases we're saying we love Patrick Mahomes, but

1302
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't take him. I liked to Shaun Watson, but

1303
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, but I wouldn't take him where he's going.

1304
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:09,320
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want any to do with

1305
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 1: James Conner at this price. Every single person who has

1306
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 1: commented about the backfield in Pittsburgh that has a reason

1307
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 1: to know says it's going to be a time share.

1308
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 1: James Connor called it a time share. Jalen Samuels called

1309
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 1: it a time share. The coaches called it a time share.

1310
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 1: In the second half of last season, Connor regressed badly.

1311
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:30,639
Speaker 1: His touches per game dropped by a third, his yards

1312
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 1: per game dropped in half, his touchdowns per game dropped

1313
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 1: in half, his yards per carry went from almost five

1314
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:42,680
Speaker 1: down to four, and after missing zero games in the

1315
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:45,320
Speaker 1: first half of last year, Connor missed three in the

1316
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 1: second half. Everything trended the wrong way at the end

1317
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 1: of last year. So then there's Jalen Samuel's. In the

1318
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:56,000
Speaker 1: second half of last season, when Jalen Samuels started getting work,

1319
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 1: he averaged two more touches than Connor did. He averaged

1320
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 1: thirty two more yards than Connor did. He averaged an

1321
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:05,960
Speaker 1: additional one point two yards per carry. I told you

1322
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:09,559
Speaker 1: connors average per carry dropped a lot. Samuel's was better,

1323
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:13,760
Speaker 1: and as a converted tight end, Samuel's receiving numbers were

1324
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 1: better than Connors, and Connors were also solid, but Samuels

1325
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 1: were even better. Connors also got to overcome his own position, coach,

1326
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:25,799
Speaker 1: Eddie Faulkner, who coached Samuel's at North Carolina State. While together,

1327
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 1: Samuels was a workhorse for Eddie Faulkner, setting the school's

1328
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 1: all time reception record with two two catches and earning

1329
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 1: All a CEC honors twice. That's his own coach. Now

1330
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:39,920
Speaker 1: for the Steelers man, that's a lot to overcome for

1331
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 1: James Conner and a lot of worry for me. All Right,

1332
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's go to our final position on our blacklist,

1333
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 1: and that's the wide receiver position, and Brian Johnson. We'll

1334
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: stay with the same team, and I'm going Juju. I'm

1335
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 1: not drafting Juju really going the last pick in the

1336
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:58,600
Speaker 1: first round, very early second. So my receiver three to

1337
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,200
Speaker 1: six depending on those rankings you're looking at, where do

1338
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 1: you have them charged? They're higher on Juju than O.

1339
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:05,720
Speaker 1: I love. Juju's my number two receiver. We're gonna hate

1340
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:08,080
Speaker 1: this one. Well, I'm not drafting Juju. A hundred sixty

1341
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 1: eight targets vacated by Antonio Brown. Juju is not going

1342
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 1: to absorb really any of those. He already had a

1343
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:16,599
Speaker 1: very prominent role in this offense. Unlikely to change running

1344
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 1: out the slot. All the vacated targets are gonna be

1345
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:22,439
Speaker 1: dispersed among DNTE Moncrief, James Washington, Vance McDonald, maybe some

1346
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 1: Jalen Samuel's even Uh, none of those guys are Antonio Brown.

1347
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 1: Obviously you put them all together and not not Antonio Brown.

1348
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:30,759
Speaker 1: I think Juju is gonna draw a lot more attention,

1349
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 1: uh than last year. That's not too far fetched to

1350
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 1: think he's clearly the number one threat in the receiving

1351
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:38,040
Speaker 1: game now. Uh. The Steelers are consensus bottom twelve in

1352
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 1: terms of wide receiver strength of schedule. I like him

1353
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:42,479
Speaker 1: to be a top ten wide receiver. I like him

1354
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 1: to repeat his performance of last year, but I just

1355
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:48,920
Speaker 1: don't see him best seeing the likes of Julio Jones

1356
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 1: and Tyreek Kill guys who are going in that same range,

1357
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 1: and I honestly would take those two ten out of

1358
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:56,639
Speaker 1: ten times over Juju. But that is just to me. Yeah,

1359
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 1: by the way, there are thing parts that I agree

1360
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 1: with you. There isn't a lot of room for him

1361
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 1: to grow, but you do doesn't even have to grow.

1362
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 1: He was great last year, and even if he just

1363
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 1: increments up by ten percent, I think he's you know,

1364
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 1: he could be wide shaver. One. I went with Antonio

1365
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 1: Brown here and we've kind of we've kind of beat

1366
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:13,800
Speaker 1: that one to death Therety. I will say just just

1367
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 1: one additional thing about it is that the fact that

1368
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:18,799
Speaker 1: he scored so many touchdowns last year kind of masked

1369
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:21,640
Speaker 1: the fact that his numbers have been decreasing now for

1370
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:25,680
Speaker 1: the last four or five years in terms of catch percentage. Uh,

1371
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:28,519
Speaker 1: last year he caught only sixty of the passes thrown

1372
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 1: his way. That's a career low since he became a starter. Yeah,

1373
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:34,839
Speaker 1: just four years earlier that was at and the touchdown.

1374
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 1: The touchdown receiving from last year is just unsustainable. He

1375
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:41,639
Speaker 1: scored fourteen on fourteen point four percent of his catches

1376
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:44,559
Speaker 1: last year. His career average before that was just over

1377
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:47,120
Speaker 1: eight percent, so almost double. So a lot of reasons

1378
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:50,719
Speaker 1: I don't like Antonio Brown this year. My blacklist wide receivers.

1379
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay currently going in the fourth round. And it's

1380
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 1: not that he's not a good player. He he is

1381
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 1: a good player, and he's, by the way, terrific matchup

1382
01:11:58,280 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 1: coming in Week one. It gets the Cardinal and darry

1383
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 1: missing its top two cornerbacks. He's setting it on potentially

1384
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 1: great Week one. But the Lions are a running team.

1385
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 1: It started last year and it's going to expand this year.

1386
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 1: This is the quote from Lions offensive coordinator Darryl Bubble.

1387
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:16,760
Speaker 1: Will always be about running the football. We want to

1388
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:19,439
Speaker 1: be a tough, hard nosed, physical football team. We want

1389
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 1: to be able to exert our will on our opponents.

1390
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 1: And it's true. Matt Patricia grew up in the Patriots system,

1391
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 1: including acting as the team's defensive coordinator for five years.

1392
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 1: Six years. During his tenure, the Patriots ran the ball

1393
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:35,879
Speaker 1: the six most times. Despite having Tom Brady at quarterback,

1394
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 1: they ran the ball the six most times, and obviously

1395
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 1: it worked out for the Patriots multiple championships under Matt Patricia.

1396
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 1: In the year before Patricia arrived, the Lions ran the

1397
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:50,920
Speaker 1: second fewest times. Last year, in Patricia's first year, they

1398
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:53,360
Speaker 1: that went all the way from thirty one to eighteen,

1399
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the pack. Now this year

1400
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 1: they bring in Daryl Bebble to run the ball more.

1401
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:06,960
Speaker 1: As offensive coordinator for twelve years, Darryl Bevil's teams ran

1402
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:10,360
Speaker 1: the second most times in the NFL. There's just too

1403
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: much running. Darryl Bevil's averages thirty runs per game thirty.

1404
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:19,799
Speaker 1: There's just gonna be games, so the targets just aren't

1405
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 1: there for Kenny Golladay, and I think you're gonna have

1406
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 1: an inconsistent season beginning in week two after he houses

1407
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:30,680
Speaker 1: the Cardinals in Week one, Hi after Week one. If

1408
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna draft Kenny Golladay, for sure, our final topics

1409
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 1: are had. When we look at the upside and the

1410
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 1: downside of rushing quarterbacks. Can you put your team in

1411
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 1: the hands of a quarterback who needs to run you

1412
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 1: to victory? And as always we end the show by

Speaker 1: Football's rushing quarterbacks in a few moments, but first, every

1430
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:09,400
Speaker 1: week we give out one sleeper a piece. Now we've

1431
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:14,879
Speaker 1: already used Jalen Samuel's, Curtis Samuel, donte Moncrief, c J Anderson,

1432
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:19,160
Speaker 1: Darren Waller, Latavius Murray, Peyton Barber, Tyler Eifford, Robbie Anderson,

1433
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:21,960
Speaker 1: and Adam Humphries. Let's see who we're going to add.

1434
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 1: Those are in previous shows. Let's see you we're gonna

1435
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:27,040
Speaker 1: add to the list this time, Christian, I'll let you

1436
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:30,080
Speaker 1: go first. Yeah, I've got I've got Darwin Thompson, who

1437
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:32,800
Speaker 1: we we touched on earlier in this show. Just a

1438
01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 1: sixth round draft pick. Guy wasn't even invited to the combine.

1439
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:38,559
Speaker 1: Usually that's a bad sign. But if we look at

1440
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 1: his pro day measurements and extrapolate those to the people

1441
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 1: that did participate in the combine, he would have been

1442
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:46,640
Speaker 1: third among all running backs in the vertical fifth in

1443
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:49,640
Speaker 1: the broad jump, second in the bench press. He ran

1444
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:53,559
Speaker 1: the forty and four point four seven, which isn't not bad,

1445
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:57,320
Speaker 1: but it's fast. Pro Football Focus has a measurement that

1446
01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:00,759
Speaker 1: they call Elusive rating where they measure running back. Thompson

1447
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 1: ranked first among all college backs in that rating. Last year.

1448
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 1: I thought it was Montgomery was first, all right, That's

1449
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:12,439
Speaker 1: what I what I found, right, okay? Um, And so

1450
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 1: physically part of the problem, part of the reason he

1451
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 1: fell to the sixth round is because he's all of

1452
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:22,599
Speaker 1: five short, right, So, but he's comparable to to Tarik Cone,

1453
01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay, Matt Brada, who have all had a lot

1454
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:27,639
Speaker 1: of success over the last couple of years. In fact, Lindsay,

1455
01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:29,720
Speaker 1: I think is a great comparison here. That guy was

1456
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:33,040
Speaker 1: didn't get invited to the Combine either undrafted, came from

1457
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 1: out of nowhere in the preseason, kind of like Thompson is.

1458
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 1: I don't believe in Damian Williams. I think this job

1459
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:40,120
Speaker 1: is going to be turned over to Darwin Thompson, who's

1460
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:43,080
Speaker 1: already mixing in with the first team. He's already taking

1461
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:46,240
Speaker 1: some red zone looks in in training camp. So I

1462
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 1: think this is a potential league winner. And right now

1463
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 1: you only have to spend an eleventh or twelfth rounder.

1464
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:52,400
Speaker 1: All right, Brian, who is your sleeper for this week?

1465
01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 1: Real quick? Just attack on? I laugh and anyone just

1466
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:59,160
Speaker 1: spills the notion that Thompson can use Sir Williams because

1467
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:03,560
Speaker 1: he's a sixth round right, Williams was undrafted, there's no

1468
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 1: capital in him. But for Williams Williams defense, there are

1469
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:11,200
Speaker 1: character issues and stuff on talent alone, Williams would have

1470
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:14,840
Speaker 1: absolutely been drafted and probably like day two, so there

1471
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 1: was that. And also Williams languished in Miami with the

1472
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:20,639
Speaker 1: terrible teams, and you know, Miami's done plenty of had

1473
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 1: plenty of mistakes, so you know, he was never a

1474
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 1: big part of what Miami did. But it takes takes

1475
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:30,639
Speaker 1: some people four years to get to get there at

1476
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 1: the time. Maybe in some cases that's the case. How

1477
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:34,880
Speaker 1: come you don't give Lamar Miller the benefit of the

1478
01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:39,639
Speaker 1: doubt for the years he stunk on two teams. That's

1479
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:43,320
Speaker 1: why that Texans line is not good. We've come all right. Well,

1480
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:45,680
Speaker 1: my sleeper is not Lamar Miller. Um, it's a guy

1481
01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:47,679
Speaker 1: who if I were allowed to play in the Crush

1482
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:51,160
Speaker 1: Charts Championship with the one thousand dollar prize for his

1483
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:54,679
Speaker 1: place for free, I would target Matt Stafford, whose bottom

1484
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: five and pricing on Fanball in week one. By the way,

1485
01:17:57,439 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 1: uh And it really this speaks to maybe the Cam

1486
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 1: Newton Andrew Luck owners out there who might need a

1487
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:03,760
Speaker 1: replacement to come week one. Well, you might have a

1488
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 1: solid replacement for the first four weeks. Now, this is

1489
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 1: a little contradictory, contradictory to your blacklist. Kenny Golladay call

1490
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 1: saying Detroit wants to run the ball a lot, and yes,

1491
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 1: they've gone out and said that, but Detroit has also

1492
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:16,559
Speaker 1: wanted to win playoff games or go to the playoffs

1493
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 1: since they've been in existence. That never really came to fruition,

1494
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:24,160
Speaker 1: maybe once or twice. But so let's just let's just

1495
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:26,479
Speaker 1: look at the matchups for Stafford on paper. Starting it

1496
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:29,639
Speaker 1: at Arizona, who will be without both starting cornerbacks Patrick

1497
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 1: Peterson and Robert Alfred will miss this game. Great matchup there, UH.

1498
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:36,640
Speaker 1: In Week two at home against the Chargers, who just

1499
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:40,640
Speaker 1: lost Derwin James, all Pro safety easily the lynchpin of

1500
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 1: that secondary, arguably the whole defense, so that's a huge

1501
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 1: ding for them. Then at Philly, who allowed the second

1502
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:49,160
Speaker 1: most passing yards last year, always a pretty good uh

1503
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 1: matchup for quarterbacks and wide receivers. And then in Week

1504
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:55,360
Speaker 1: four they have Kansas City at home, always shoot out potential.

1505
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:57,600
Speaker 1: The Chiefs allowed the fifth most passing touchdowns in the

1506
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 1: most passing yards last year. So Matt's Stafford, who really

1507
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 1: getting undrafted maybe in one quarterback leagues, could be a

1508
01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:07,600
Speaker 1: viable plug in play for first four weeks. So I

1509
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 1: likes you know, combo there with Stafford and Galada. Yeah,

1510
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 1: that could be What about this idea? So we talked

1511
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 1: earlier Andrew Luck is now going at a discount because

1512
01:19:18,720 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 1: so everybody's worried about him, you know, but nobody thinks

1513
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be available like October. So if he's

1514
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,479
Speaker 1: gonna miss a handful of games, you could make Matth Stafford,

1515
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 1: matth Stafford the last pick of your draft and handcuffed

1516
01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:31,960
Speaker 1: the you know, put those two together and then you know,

1517
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:34,639
Speaker 1: go to war. You could there's gonna be soone enticing

1518
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 1: in the eighth round. Though, that's going back to my

1519
01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 1: Luck blacklist call. That's why it depends. It all depends.

1520
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:41,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's certainly a viable strategy without a doubt.

1521
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:44,680
Speaker 1: My sleeper this week is another quarterback, Carson Wentz. A

1522
01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 1: DP is the tenth round for Carson Wentz. We alluded

1523
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 1: to this earlier. Look at the plethora of targets available

1524
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:54,960
Speaker 1: to him. Not only does he have the returning guys

1525
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:58,760
Speaker 1: all Sean Jeffrey's very good, Zach Ertz very good, a

1526
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:02,519
Speaker 1: number of receivers, receiving running backs who can all catch passes.

1527
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:05,520
Speaker 1: We have Dallas Goddard, who has shined in the preseason

1528
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:08,960
Speaker 1: and as a former first rounder or second rounder for Dallas.

1529
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:12,320
Speaker 1: Goddard don't quite recall they add in the off season

1530
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:15,280
Speaker 1: to Sean Jackson for a deep ball threat that Carson

1531
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:17,640
Speaker 1: Wentz has never had even with the big arm. And

1532
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:22,479
Speaker 1: then rookie j j Arthega Whiteside, who looks awesome so far.

1533
01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:28,840
Speaker 1: By the way, by the way, true story. You know

1534
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:30,800
Speaker 1: when you're you're teaching your kid all the animals, sounds

1535
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 1: like every parent does, right. You know, Kyle goes right.

1536
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 1: You know all that shark goes. I did that. I

1537
01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:40,479
Speaker 1: taught her shark right. She doesn't have any idea, but

1538
01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 1: I go shark goes dat dot dot dot. She didn't

1539
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 1: know what she's doing, but I had a ton of

1540
01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:51,160
Speaker 1: fun with it. The Eagles have Pro Football focuses number

1541
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:53,880
Speaker 1: one offensive line, so you know Wentz is going to

1542
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:56,840
Speaker 1: be well protected. Remember the last time he was fully

1543
01:20:56,880 --> 01:21:01,080
Speaker 1: healthy seen he was charging to the NFL MVP Award

1544
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:03,360
Speaker 1: and at the time of his his a c L injury,

1545
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:08,000
Speaker 1: was the second highest scoring fantasy quarterback, second highest scoring

1546
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:12,439
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback as a sophomore in the NFL. Now another

1547
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:14,880
Speaker 1: you're removed from that a c L injury, it's a

1548
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:19,200
Speaker 1: it's an incredibly promising situation for Carson Wentz, who I

1549
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 1: think has the potential to be the NFL m v

1550
01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 1: P again because I think the Eagles are going to

1551
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:28,080
Speaker 1: be a fantastic team. ADP tenth round for Carson Wentz.

1552
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:30,800
Speaker 1: Are you worried at all about the back the back

1553
01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:33,120
Speaker 1: injury that knocked him out last year? And and and

1554
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:36,800
Speaker 1: I find it a little worrisome that they're not playing

1555
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:38,960
Speaker 1: them at all in the preseason like this. This is

1556
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,160
Speaker 1: a young guy in the prime of his career and

1557
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:48,680
Speaker 1: they're already having him. Are they so worried starters? The

1558
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:51,800
Speaker 1: Raiders aren't playing their starters for Pete's sake. I don't

1559
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 1: think that says anything about his health or ability. To

1560
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:57,720
Speaker 1: be honest, and you touched on it earlier, CP. You're

1561
01:21:57,720 --> 01:21:59,880
Speaker 1: trying to guess week in and week out, week out,

1562
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:02,720
Speaker 1: who's going to be the hot Philly receiver. Who's going

1563
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:06,840
Speaker 1: to succeed with all of those targets just draft I

1564
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 1: don't have to. I don't care who's catching the ball.

1565
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:11,680
Speaker 1: All I know all I got is the trigger man. Now, um,

1566
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:14,920
Speaker 1: we've heard Brian Johnson in previous weeks make the same

1567
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 1: the same argument for Jared Goff. I don't have to

1568
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:21,880
Speaker 1: guess if it's gonna be Woods or Cook or or Cup.

1569
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:24,600
Speaker 1: What got Jared Goff? You don't have to worry about it.

1570
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:27,320
Speaker 1: That's part of why I love Carson Wentz. Let's talk

1571
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:29,880
Speaker 1: about So there's your three sleepers for this week. Let's

1572
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 1: talk about rushing quarterbacks. I've done a lot of a

1573
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:36,400
Speaker 1: lot of analysis on the Russia. It's the deepest year

1574
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:39,720
Speaker 1: ever for rushing quarterbacks. There are so many right now,

1575
01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:45,360
Speaker 1: and they're so game changing. I've identified eight returning quarterbacks

1576
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:49,600
Speaker 1: who I qualify as a rushing quarterback. Here's kind of

1577
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:52,360
Speaker 1: my criteria. The average at least twenty four rushing yards

1578
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:56,519
Speaker 1: per game, half a touchdown most leagues point wise. Yeah,

1579
01:22:56,560 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: that's right. Um. Or you're Dak Prescott who got nineteen

1580
01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game but also ran in six touchdowns,

1581
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:06,519
Speaker 1: So I'm lumping him in there too, um, and I'm

1582
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 1: throwing out Blake Bortles. That gives me my eight guys

1583
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:13,080
Speaker 1: who are now Dak Prescott. Do I mentioned Russell Wilson,

1584
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:18,719
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota, Mitch Rubisky, Deshaun Watson, Cam Newton, Josh Allen,

1585
01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:21,840
Speaker 1: and then by a huge margin, Lamar Jackson, who's get

1586
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:23,759
Speaker 1: off the charts on the rush. I'm a little surprised

1587
01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 1: Mariota made that list. I didn't either, but he was.

1588
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 1: He was in the he was in the ballpark for

1589
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:32,599
Speaker 1: this um. And then the rookie class adds another guy

1590
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:36,040
Speaker 1: for sure, Kyler Murray absolutely in right, potentially on a

1591
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:39,800
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson like level. Correct, yes, he's on a Vic

1592
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 1: Jackson like potential for his rushing ability. So that gives

1593
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:46,840
Speaker 1: us nine. And I got nine rushing quarterbacks in here,

1594
01:23:47,080 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 1: and and you know, let's throw out Barrio because not

1595
01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 1: even want him. I think he's the first quarterback to

1596
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:53,560
Speaker 1: get bench. Let's go back and eight eight rushing quarterbacks

1597
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:57,919
Speaker 1: in your draft. Why does rushing matter? Those eight players?

1598
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 1: Last year, none of them ranked lower than fourteenth, and

1599
01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:05,559
Speaker 1: fantasy points per game, none of the eight ranked lower

1600
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:10,720
Speaker 1: than fourteen. Yet an average draft position today, five of

1601
01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:14,679
Speaker 1: them are more than fourteen, and as a group, their

1602
01:24:14,720 --> 01:24:17,880
Speaker 1: average rank in Fantasy points last year was eight. As

1603
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:21,280
Speaker 1: a group, those eight guys, they averaged QB eight This

1604
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 1: year on average, they're going at QB fourteen in drafts

1605
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:28,600
Speaker 1: right now. There's so much value in these rushing quarterbacks

1606
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:30,960
Speaker 1: and people aren't recognizing it. And we're here to talk

1607
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:34,519
Speaker 1: about that delta that people are missing between the the

1608
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:38,599
Speaker 1: production we had last year and where they're being drafted now. Well,

1609
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 1: I thank you obviously, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. Allen

1610
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:43,760
Speaker 1: pump up those numbers for the rushing quarterbacks. Those guys

1611
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 1: didn't see significant playing time until the second half of

1612
01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:50,320
Speaker 1: the season. To so imagine that season would be absolutely

1613
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:54,799
Speaker 1: from some examples of great value coming for these players.

1614
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson right now is QB fifteen, Dak Prescott is

1615
01:24:59,479 --> 01:25:03,200
Speaker 1: QB eight, team, Mitch Trubisky's QB twenty, and Josh Allen

1616
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 1: is QB twenty three off the board right now. An

1617
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 1: average draft position, you know, pure passing quarterbacks need to

1618
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:15,479
Speaker 1: have super human performances to equal what a top rushing

1619
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:19,440
Speaker 1: a quarterback will give you when they run just reasonably

1620
01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:22,840
Speaker 1: well that's it. You know, mahomes can give you those

1621
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:25,200
Speaker 1: superhuman efforts, but most guys can't. Let's take a look

1622
01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:27,760
Speaker 1: at it, and here's why. Let's say your quarterback runs

1623
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:30,719
Speaker 1: for forty rushing yards, it's a reasonable amount and wouldn't

1624
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:34,080
Speaker 1: shock anybody, right. In most leagues, that's the equivalent of

1625
01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 1: one hundred twenty passing yards a multiple of three passing yards.

1626
01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:42,240
Speaker 1: That means those forty rushing yards would turn a two

1627
01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:47,639
Speaker 1: hundred twenty yard passing day into a three forty yard

1628
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 1: passing day with the rushing numbers as an example. So

1629
01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:54,919
Speaker 1: your rushing quarterback, you know, pick a guy Dak Prescott.

1630
01:25:55,200 --> 01:25:57,360
Speaker 1: If he runs for forty and he throws for two twenty,

1631
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:00,120
Speaker 1: that's the equivalent of three or forty passing yards, and

1632
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:03,520
Speaker 1: that's a great day by any measure. A rushing touchdowns

1633
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:05,759
Speaker 1: worth one and a half passing touchdowns in most scoring

1634
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 1: systems roughly, So that means you're forgettable. One passing touchdown

1635
01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:12,240
Speaker 1: game turns into a nearly three or one passing or

1636
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:15,720
Speaker 1: one rushing touch you're forgettable. One passing touchdown game turns

1637
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 1: into a nearly three passing touchdown game if you also

1638
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:20,439
Speaker 1: have a rushing touchdown, a one passing games, a one

1639
01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:24,240
Speaker 1: watching game. So you roll that together and you just

1640
01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:27,800
Speaker 1: got freaky upside, freaking upside. Now, the downside with the

1641
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:30,720
Speaker 1: rushing quarterbacks, if they don't run, they don't rush for

1642
01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:34,880
Speaker 1: the forty inconsistent. Now you're in trouble. Right. So if

1643
01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:37,960
Speaker 1: you get the two yard passing game and the one

1644
01:26:38,040 --> 01:26:41,599
Speaker 1: touchdown pass and they don't run in and anything meaningful,

1645
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:44,360
Speaker 1: now you've got that. Part of the problem is it's

1646
01:26:44,479 --> 01:26:47,360
Speaker 1: very hard to predict that. So I say this as

1647
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:50,360
Speaker 1: a longtime owner of Cam Newton over many many years, like,

1648
01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:52,880
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't get into a situation where you're

1649
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:54,719
Speaker 1: trying to predict it and you're benching them or starting

1650
01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:56,840
Speaker 1: them based on matchups because you never know when they're

1651
01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:59,320
Speaker 1: going to go off for two rushing touchdowns, and so

1652
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:00,960
Speaker 1: you have to you have to be willing to just

1653
01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:03,320
Speaker 1: kind of stick them in your lineup and take take

1654
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:06,479
Speaker 1: the good with the bad. That's right. We visited, revisited

1655
01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:09,400
Speaker 1: the freakiest upside of a rushing quarterback in Michael Vick

1656
01:27:09,640 --> 01:27:13,200
Speaker 1: in the game when he's with the Eagles, and I'll

1657
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 1: never forget that game. Three thirty and four through the

1658
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:19,280
Speaker 1: air and like eight yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Unbelievable.

1659
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:22,559
Speaker 1: The best, the best fantasy performance by I think any

1660
01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:25,599
Speaker 1: player ever history of fantasy was that way. It's up there.

1661
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:30,479
Speaker 1: Now here's one of the strategies I love. In two

1662
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:34,960
Speaker 1: quarterback leagues or QB flex leagues, you draft two rushing quarterbacks.

1663
01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:37,360
Speaker 1: We talked about how you can get Lamar Jackson late

1664
01:27:37,640 --> 01:27:40,320
Speaker 1: and Mitch Drabinsky and Dak Prescott and Josh Allen late.

1665
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:43,560
Speaker 1: You put two of them in knowing that the likelihood

1666
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:46,720
Speaker 1: that they both flop in the same week is very low,

1667
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:50,000
Speaker 1: and what they both give you the freaky upside. So

1668
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:52,040
Speaker 1: what do you think of that? What do you think

1669
01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:54,400
Speaker 1: of that strategy? And QB flex do you take two

1670
01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:57,360
Speaker 1: of the rushing quarterbacks. You don't have to spend it.

1671
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:00,760
Speaker 1: You're mitigating your risk a little bit there, and so

1672
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 1: you're you're more likely to go into a season where

1673
01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 1: you have you have multiple of these sort of up

1674
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:08,720
Speaker 1: and down risky Russian quarterbacks because you can just play

1675
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:10,400
Speaker 1: them both all the time. You can play them both

1676
01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 1: and that's the that's the beauty of it. You don't

1677
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:14,200
Speaker 1: have to guess if this is going to be the

1678
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:16,920
Speaker 1: game where Josh Allen, you know, ends up scrambling out

1679
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:20,599
Speaker 1: of a pocket and running down field. And by the way,

1680
01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:23,200
Speaker 1: to your earlier point about Mahomes, it's kind of fun

1681
01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:25,639
Speaker 1: to have Lamar Jackson and you know that you might

1682
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:28,559
Speaker 1: break a fifty yard touchdown run at at any moment

1683
01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:31,280
Speaker 1: in time. That's a great point, a great point um.
