WEBVTT - Preseason Week #3 - Draft Days 0:00:01.360 --> 0:00:05.080 Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from my Heart Radio, 0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:09.280 your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:13.200 Now along with the guys from fanball dot com, here's 0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:17.800 the host for Fantasy Football Weekly. It is time for 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:22.520 America's longest running fantasy football show, Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.520 your host, Paul Charchy and from fanball dot Com. My 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:32.680 cohorts today are Christian Peterson and Brian Johnson. Hello, guys, Well, yeah, 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:34.640 talking football. It's that we're really in the heart of 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:36.800 draft season now right, it gets game on. You know, 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.760 this is probably the drafts will be next two weekends. 0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:43.360 You know this weekend, next weekend will be the vast 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.519 majority of drafts. So we're right in the thick of everything. 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:48.879 And over the course of this show, we're gonna help 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.440 you figure out which teammates are the right ones to draft. 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.480 A lot of times there are two teammates at the 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:58.360 same position that you could draft. For example, would you 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.240 rather Mike Evans in the second round or Chris Godwin 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:04.280 in the fourth round? Will help you decide which guy 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.360 to draft in a shared uh in a shared situation 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:10.880 like that. Also, you're about to execute your first draft 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.760 of the year. We've executed dozens of drafts already, and 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.840 there are always these guys that you look back and go, well, 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.319 I never ended up with him, never ended up with him. 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.200 Did twelve drafts? Haven't ended up with that guy a 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:23.679 lot of time. It's not even that it's that you 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:25.840 don't it's not even that you hate that guy, but 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.240 you don't end up with them. Will tell you which 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:33.800 players we've blacklisted from existence, jettison into a black hole 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:38.360 of fantasy disinterest. Then we'll talk about the highlights from 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.320 the preseason action from this week. We'll answer some tough questions. 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.680 You get to play. Along with those tough questions, we'll 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.920 reveal our latest round of sleepers, and we'll talk about 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:49.320 the freaky upside that comes with rushing quarterbacks and who 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.680 you could potentially target in your draft if you want 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.920 to take on the risk that comes with them. It's 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.400 a little early for his freaky sound effects. It's not 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:00.760 Halloween time quite yet now would have worked well for 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:02.760 the freaky. The freaky I have any I don't have 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:07.320 any freaky sound effects here. Yeah, I've got uh, yeah, 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:13.399 I've got a vulture. I've got a sad drombone. How's 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.760 it going. I've got I got a happy trombone. Do 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.959 you have the air horn? No? No, don't horn. I 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:22.240 don't know where the air horn. We had an air 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.200 horn at one point, you got you got Drew Peacock 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.320 in there, though, don't you We know? No Drew Peacock. 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.920 But man, do we miss Drew Peacock at least come 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:35.359 back to the NFL Drew Peacock. Let's begin with this 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:39.760 potential impending signing of Ezekiel Elliott. Maybe even depending on 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:43.519 when you're listening to this, he has already signed. If 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.120 you believe the media reports. It looks like a signing 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:51.959 maybe immanent. So let's start here, assuming he has signed, 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.720 when people go to their draft, where does he slot 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:59.320 in as a signed player for the Cowboys? I mean, 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.560 I think he's just he's right back where he would 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.679 have been, which is within the top three or four 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.239 picks in the entire draft. More specific, where do you 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.120 want him in the top four night? I think I 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:12.920 think most people would. I would take him third. I 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.000 would take se Kwan and McCaffrey ahead of him, But 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.680 but I would have before all along. Okay, if nothing 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.720 has changed for me about about Elliott. I was CMC 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:26.600 in Kamara top two. That was Zeke three before all 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:28.640 this madness. But I gotta keep him at the tail. 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.440 And now the four, I take Barkley over Zeke. But 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:35.080 and I was taking David Johnson before Zeke. I'm still 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:36.760 on the fence a little bit. But no, I guess 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.720 if he signed today or tomorrow or very soon, I 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.360 would put him at number four. All right, So what 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.000 about people that are in limball. Let's say he hasn't 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.040 Zeke hasn't signed yet, but they're working on the same 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.560 information we are right now as we record this, which 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.720 it appears that they're you know, he's close to us signing. 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.160 Let's just say all these reports are coming from like 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.360 very biased cowboy accounts and I won't name name, but 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.960 they bleed they bleed silver and blue or whatever the 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.280 colors they call in Dallas. I mean, well, this is 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.600 what they want to say. They're not connected to the cowboys, 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.000 and they would know. I don't know. It's it's wishful 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.280 thinking that we all right, So are you saying then 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.120 that you wouldn't believe it? And I think it's a 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.279 coin flip. Now for whatever, it's okay, So where would 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:21.120 you take him right now based on the knowledge I don't. 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.320 I don't take him at all. No, there's no scenario 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.640 eight round is available. You're taking no realistic scenario. He's 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.520 going late first now I'm seeing him fall too. But 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.640 where give me the round where you're taking? Where you're 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.240 taking Zeke? If he's on sign and we all you 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.880 have to go on his media reports of optimism, which 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:43.360 you obviously don't don't care about. Third, third round. I 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.440 would go second, I think early second. I don't. I 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.640 don't think I would. I would use my late first 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.200 rounder if I don't know that he's going to be there, 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.360 but by the second round you know the risk is 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.680 worth it. What is it? What is this do about 0:04:55.800 --> 0:05:00.640 Tony Pollard? Pollard's look good? Has Pollard shown enough that 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:05.240 he's worked his way into a rotation the likes of 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.080 which we've never seen with Ezekiel Ellid? He's never shared 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.679 meaningful carries, but he's also never had a competent backup either. 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.320 Do you think Tony Pollard has looked good enough that 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:21.200 he will eat into a significant number of carries and touches? 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:25.240 I mean fifty fifty, but more like seventy, which he's 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.320 never had to put up with in the past. Hill 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.039 factor on third down when Zeke's back. Whenever Zeke comes back, 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:36.880 he's a better receiver. Thanks great. Tony. Pollard excels receiving 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.280 the football, I mean catching the football, and uh, he's 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.960 shown that he can run as well. I see touches 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.600 going to Pollard with Zeke and full tip. So that's 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.560 my pa. I think that's fair too. I think Pollard 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:51.200 has has shown enough this preseason to warrant being being 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.360 in the lineup more so Pollard, even even if Zeke 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:59.279 is drafted, is Pollard more than just a handcuff. So 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:03.760 let's say Ryan draft Zeke, Christian, are you are you 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:07.080 drafting Polo? Are you drafting Polo? At any point in time? 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.480 If Zeke is signed and he's on another team and 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.640 he said, he's not not even your handcuff, No, I 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.600 don't think he's getting enough. I don't think he'll get 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:18.680 enough playing time, enough touches to be considered a standalone 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.839 valuable fantasy player. So the only the only way that 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.440 I would take him is if I also have Zeke. 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.120 On Thursday night, Cam Newton got knocked out of the 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:30.200 game Friday. He's wearing a walking boot. The team, at 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.680 least as of this recording, is not giving us any 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:37.120 firm information about this this either foot or ankle injury. Now, 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.160 he had surgery on the foot, so this is not 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.480 the first time that that this foot has been an 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:48.360 issue for him. What again, if if the team comes 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:51.560 out and gives definitive information, then listeners probably know that already. 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.400 But given that we the team may very well be 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.080 coy about this and we don't know, We've got in 0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:00.880 Cam what do you do right now? Cam Newton and 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.479 potentially drafting him? And I'm going to the Cam Newton desk. 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:08.560 Christian Peterson no bigger apologist for the fantasy value of 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.480 Cam Newton than you. What would you do? Yeah? This 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.320 one hurts. I mean there have been preliminary reports that 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.840 it's not as serious as maybe it looked last night, 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.200 and that he could be back, Sorry, he could be 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.640 back as soon as week one. We still don't know 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:25.160 for sure. But in my mind, the biggest issue is 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.040 that this is a foot injury. They're talking about a 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:31.120 midfoot sprain kind of deal, and as we know, Cam 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.200 Newton drives a lot of his fantasy value from his 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.320 ability to run and a sprain, you know, something like that, 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.840 especially if they're going to rush him back maybe for 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.200 week one. I don't like the sound of that. If 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:42.560 he's not going to be able to run as much 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.320 as he usually does, or if this thing just lingers 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.680 all year long, if it just never gets right, which 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.640 could be the case. Yeah, so there's I don't think 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.280 there's any choice but to knock him down a couple 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.680 of rungs on your on your cheat sheet. I wouldn't 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:57.480 go crazy and like put him put him in the 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:03.440 black on your blacklist, on your vortex of irrelevancy, Yes, 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:05.680 but but I would knock them down a spot or two. 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:11.160 So if if this foot injury really does take the 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.920 wheels off Cam Newton and all your most you know, 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:16.640 for the most part, all you're going to get are 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:21.520 his passing numbers. You've got quarterback twenty five on your roster. 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.240 That's probably about right. You know, You're you're looking at 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:28.280 a Sam donald Ish. You know, frankly, Donald's passing might 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.280 be better. Although I will say if if if the 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.880 injury is to that point, I don't think the Panthers 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.200 would would try him out there if he couldn't do 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.480 some of the things that make him such a good player, 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:40.760 you know what I mean, like go Will Will Greer 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.920 or you know, Kyle Allen. I think that they'll put 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:45.800 the best passer they have on the field, don't you 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:49.240 think I do. I think they would Anyway, Well, that'll 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:52.760 hopefully still be Cam the shoulders, much better than it's 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.400 been the past and direct. I'm very sad. We'll talk 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:59.480 more about d J. Moore and critics. Samuel It's it. 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:02.640 This is potentially tricky on them, obviously, if if if 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.199 he's not gonna play with Cams not in his mobility 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:09.160 opens up things for them, extends plays, sure, plenty of things. 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.559 All right, Let's look at some of the preseason games 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.200 with some notable events, beginning with the Giants and the Bengals. 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:18.160 This is Brian Johnson's previous favorite team and now his 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:23.120 current favorite team playing each other in a heated preseason duel, 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:27.520 clearly a potential Super Bowl preview as well. Giants Bengals. 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.000 I got my money on that Vegas. Noah started with 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.240 the Giant side, Eli didn't fully implode, looked sort of sharp. 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:36.080 He will be a Week one starter and beyond and 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.000 before we mentioned Daniel Jones Eli ran a lead block 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.400 on a play for Wayne Gallard, ran about thirty two 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.120 yards on it. Um not with the ball, of course, 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.480 that was impressive considering thirty two yards is what he 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:51.560 averages rushing over his career every years. Never been much 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:55.640 of a helper there, Eli, Hey speaking speaking of which, Um, 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:57.600 who is you know for those people that want to 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:02.120 handcuff Barkley? Is it Gallman or Park or just neither? 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:06.240 Just just just don't do period, don't do it, all right, 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.719 that's gonna be a case where hopefully doesn't. Anyway, it 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.120 was Barkley. Yeah, whoever steps in for Barkley is not 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:15.960 It's a waste of fab. Don't even go there if 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:17.720 that comes to it. If it comes to that. Um. 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:20.880 Daniel Jones O came in after Eli. He looked very 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:24.280 good again. Uh nine for eleven forty one yards, took 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.280 a big hit, got back up, dropped a dime to 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.160 the one yard line. But he's played against the reserves 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.400 all preseason long. People are he looks goodseason? You know 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:36.559 a week one he well, he he started the game 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:38.440 week one, but he was also playing against reserved, So 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.400 I guess you're right. But he will usurp Eli at 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:43.199 some point. Just a guy to keep your eye in 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.160 and Dynasty and super Flex for him. That's definitely not 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.960 one quarterback leagues this year. The only other giant worth 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.160 mentioning was Evan Ingram, who called his loom target for 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.480 nine yards. But outside of that, there was no Barkley, 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.199 no Golden Tate, no Sterling Shepherds. Still he's injured. It 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.120 should be ready for week one. We shall see. But 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.880 um he's going off the board practically free. It's he's 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:04.400 if you got a spot to burns. He'll be a 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.720 factor when he when he's healthy. For since no Joe Mixon, 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.240 no Tyler Effort, Andy Dalton did look sharp, went seven 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.319 for ten for a hundred and four yards through a 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.439 beautiful yard touchdown to my boy the uzy C g 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.440 C j use Olma, who also had another catch of 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.959 twenty five plus yards, which was impressive. So if Effort 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.040 gets hurt, muse Alma is going to be a factor 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.800 again in the tight end wasteland when I get hurt 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:31.800 when and uh, of course no A J. Green Tyler 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.800 Boyd only played a couple of series. One guy to 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.960 keep your eye on his Damien Willis, wide receiver who 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:37.960 had three catches for fifty five yards in the touchdown. 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.880 Because John Ross is not good, who currently is slated 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.319 as the other starting wide receiver. This Damien Willis could 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.160 become a factor, and so could rookie running back Rodney 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.120 Anderson from U c l A, who was the first 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.400 round that's the first blew out his knee in the 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:55.320 first game for U c l A. Dropped to late 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.720 third day in the draft, but he looked really good. 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.800 And people always say Geo Bernard would be the backup 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.439 if something happened to mixing, but Bernardo's kindding that Darryl 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:06.920 Henderson threw down role. To me, Rodney Anderson is the handcuff. 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.160 He could be your first two down guy if something 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.240 did happen to mix it up. So something. If you're 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.840 gett handcuff mixing, it's not Geo, it is Anderson. That's 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.040 it for this game. Let's go to Baltimore in Philadelphia. 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:23.080 That's Brian, Sorry I'm wrong, Washington and sorry, Washington in Atlanta, 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:26.680 thank you. Really not a lot to talk about in 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:31.360 this game. On the Washington side, the debut debut of 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.720 Darius Guys so that's exciting. First time on the on 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:36.800 the field and game action since he blew out his 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.120 A c L last preseason, and he was very involved. 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.400 He got four touches on the very first drive, eleven 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:45.160 touches overall, and did okay with it four yards, So 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:47.760 really just nice to see him back on the field. 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:49.960 He looked like an explosive player, just like we thought 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.760 we were getting last year before the injury. Of course, 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.040 his fantasy situation is still pretty clouded with Adrian Peterson 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.880 there and Chris Thompson there. But again, good to see 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.760 guys back on the field. Not so good news for 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:06.400 Jordan Reid. Removed from the game in the concussion protocol. 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:10.640 This is I believe, his seventh concussion of his career, 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.600 and that's on top of all sorts of other injuries. 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:17.920 You know, everybody, you know, beat writers, people were liking 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.800 what they saw of Jordan Reid in the preseason and 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:22.760 in training camp and he was looking like maybe one 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:28.160 of their only legitimate receivers and now probably not so much. 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.320 So bad news for Jordan Reid. Case Keenum was bad, 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:35.000 Dwayne Haskins was maybe even worse. This is this is bad. 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:39.120 They have they have no wide receivers. Their top receivers 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.480 didn't even play in this one. Josh Dockson might be 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.080 traded or cut. It's a their passing game as a 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.600 total disaster. On the Atlanta side, not really a lot 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:49.640 to talk about here. Matt Ryan did start and played 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.480 a little bit, but Julio Jones didn't play. Davonta Freeman 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.440 just played one series. He did give way to Edo Smith, 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:59.200 who has now established himself as the backup that you want. There. 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.880 I played seventeen snaps, had five carries and a touchdown. 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.280 That is all that is worth talking about in this game. Okay, 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:08.360 Carolina took on New England. We already talked about the 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:12.120 only really sailing part of Carolina the Cam Newton injury here. Uh. 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.640 If he can't go, Kyle Allen expected replacement. Uh, and 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:17.480 let's hope it doesn't come to that in Week one 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.520 or beyond. On the New England side, there were a 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:23.600 variety of things to talk about. Sony Michelle looking fast 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.520 and elusive, much more so than last year. Remember last 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:30.400 year came off of injury, was injured throughout that season, 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.120 and looked like he didn't look anything like the guy 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.640 we saw Georgia, he looked plotting and slow. Not so 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.040 much here. I thought he looked really good. The box 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.160 score won't show some of his best plays that came 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.640 back in penalty as well, So don't just look at 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:45.560 the box score, and Sony Michelle, trust me that he 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:48.640 looked good. It's still a very convoluted in deep backfield, 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.040 but he looks like the best player in it. Ben 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:52.920 Watson got some first team reps and he's got a 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.240 little sneaker, sneaky tight end to him. Philip Dorsett got 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.600 a long look, including starting the game, but with Josh 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:00.960 Gordon's return coming, I don't think he's going to hold 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.120 that job as a starter. And I'll note that Julian 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:06.360 Edelman still not playing. Don't forget Ben Watson suspended though 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.720 for his four games. Great point, yeah, thank you, thank you, 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.440 But after that's certainly gonna be viable this season, Darling. 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.680 Jacoby Myers had another big game Patriots as well, although 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.880 he did he got some looks from Tom Brady and 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.480 was oh for three on the targets from Brady, and 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.120 Brady was seen sort of be rating him on the 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.320 sidelines a little bit. So uh, Myers has been a 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:30.240 guy maybe worth looking at in Dynasty format, but probably 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.280 too far down the depth chart for others. The much 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.480 anticipated Baltimore Philadelphia game, now let's get to that one. 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:38.200 This one will be much quicker. Wentz did not play 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:40.240 for Philly, has an all preseason, but he should be 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:41.760 ready to go a week one, he will be ready 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.160 to go, or so they say. Zacker has caught a 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.760 past for thirteen yards, but this game was all about 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:51.640 j j Arthega Whiteside baby Jaws Risen call him Jaws here. 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.200 It's way easier. Eight catches a hundred and four yards, 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.120 including a nice grab in the corner of the end zone. 0:15:56.160 --> 0:16:00.360 Looks a little Andre Johnson ish easily a fair Compton, 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:04.760 Mike Williams in l A. He's uh, he looks fantastic. 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:09.120 He looks really Dynasty Sky's the limit redraft. It's a 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:10.840 lot of there's a lot of targets to be shared 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.640 in Philip. So that's the thing we're actually we're gonna 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.000 talk about it later in the show. But you know, 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:16.880 that's one of the things I like about Carson Wentz 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:19.000 is you don't have to guess which which is now 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.520 suddenly plethora of quality target options is going to be 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:26.720 the guy in any given week. That's it for Philly Baltimore. 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.200 Not a lot here. Lamar Jackson did not play. Kind 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.280 of a bummer. Not a lot of players didn't play 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.120 in these week preseason Week three used to be the 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.320 bonanza of all the starters. It's not. It's not not anymore. 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.280 Mark Ingham didn't play either. In rising rookie Justin Hill 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.000 did not wow in this one. Only sixteen combo yards 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.160 on nine touches. The only thing really worth mentioning is 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:48.400 um Miles Boykin did make his first appearance at the preseason. 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.840 He was a first round pick, second round, second second 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.720 round pick. Uh. He did what he was drafted to do. 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.120 Had one catch for forty four yards on two targets. 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.040 So he's gonna be a deep threat for l Jacks 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.480 this year. The third round pick, Miles Boykin. All right, 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:05.840 let's go to Green Bay and Oakland. What a disaster. 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:12.240 This game was just a total disaster. On they're playing 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:15.040 an eight yard feet so they played. They played in Canada, 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.360 and in Canada on Canadian Football League fields, the uprights 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:20.040 are in the middle of the end zones, so they 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.560 tried to remove those, but then the field was just 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.080 a mess in the end zone, so they had to 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.639 shorten it and the ten yard line became the end zone. 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:30.120 And when that happened, green Bay said, well, we're gonna 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:34.119 bench our thirty three best players. What a disaster, and 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.480 a couple of the players that they did decide to play, 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:41.480 including Equanimius st. Brown, you know, potentially fantasy. When I 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.840 saw that injury, I'm like, the season over career enders 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.879 saw off his foot right now, it looks bad. The 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.080 interesting part was when you first looked at the hit, 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:52.840 what you saw was the vicious head to head, you know, 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.159 helmet to helmet action. And then it turns out he 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:58.560 also blew up his ankle, blew up his leg in 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:00.840 some way, carted off the field out. They're saying it's 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:04.719 only a severe high ankle sprain. I know, I was like, 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:08.160 that's it's over. Uh fortunately, not not quite as bad 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.440 as that anything else from no. I mean, Oakland didn't 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:13.640 even bring the twenty four of their players to the game, 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.480 and then because of the field they be so literally 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:18.359 nothing that's talking about. Let's let's move on to our 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.840 last preseason game that we're going to talk about, Jacksonville 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.720 taking out Miami. There are actually a number of things. 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.520 This sounds like an absolute dog game, but there was 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:28.280 There was actually some good things to come out of it. 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:31.680 From a fantasy standpoint. For Jacksonville, Leonard for Nett got 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:34.160 some work. Look pretty good. Heavily involved in the passing game, 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.399 which has been a recurring theme of the preseason. In 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.639 the training camp for him. D D. Westbrook looks great 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:44.280 and they targeted him constantly. Scored a touchdown. He remains 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:49.080 highly underdrafted and that's um. I think he's somebody that's 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.840 that needs to move up cheat sheets. He's going to 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:55.720 be a target high here Miami. The offensive line was 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:58.280 one of the big stories here. It's brutal. Poor ste 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:01.440 Beard was on the run. Cons and Lee look shaky, 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:06.480 got pressured, got hit. Uh, but it wasn't Stu Bird's fault. 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:08.880 Of course. No, of course that he looks you give him. 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:12.640 He's a leasive machine. Um. The offensive line is bad. 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:16.960 They made rookie Josh Allen for for Jacksonville look like 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:20.040 a potential defensive Rookie of the Year candidate. And by 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.280 the way, he might be a potential defense over the 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.159 Year candidate Rookie of the year. Let's go to it 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:26.960 while we're down. The passing game still here a little 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:30.320 bit electrifying. Rookie Preston Williams ran with the first team 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:33.359 in the first series. I think they might just be 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:35.760 ready to see you know, they know where they're rebuilding. 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:39.280 Why not give Preston Williams a bunch of reps. He is, 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:43.000 in my mind, the only receiver I'm interested in drafting 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:45.280 out of that whole group. I'm done with the Kenny 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:47.919 Stills of the world and DeVante Parker's the world. I 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.119 think Preston Williams is the guy. And find out if 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:53.160 you got lightning in a bottle. Albert Wilson is intriguing, 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.439 though in PPR you can have him. Caitlin Balage had 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:59.240 nowhere to run offensive line again, terrible, no ability, and 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:02.080 he's not good, no ability to make his own yards. 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:03.920 So you give him no. You can't give him a 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:06.880 giant hole to run through. He gives you nothing. Draft 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:10.600 Kenyan Drake instead. Drake has dropped two full rounds of 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.040 a DP over the last three weeks as he's been 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:15.679 nursing a foot injury, and Calin Bellage is beginning all 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:19.880 this work. I'm telling you blage stinks to add real 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:22.480 quick right quill Armstead, I hope I pronounce the first. 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:25.240 He looked good against the Miami starting defense. He's the 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:29.040
