Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation,
Speaker 1: and whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show. Now,
Speaker 1: here's your host, Paul Hey, it's Fantasy Football Weekly. I
Speaker 1: am Paul Charchi and my co host today Scott Fish.
Speaker 1: I'm here. It's it's been a while, it has it
Speaker 1: really has been well, I got I got to do
Speaker 1: this show more. I agree, you need to do the
Speaker 1: show more. You'll be in heavy rotation during the season,
Speaker 1: of course. Of course, yeah, we've been. You know, we've
Speaker 1: we've managed to get together a few times, which has
Speaker 1: been great. Um, this is the slowest part of the
Speaker 1: NFL calendar all year is right now, but that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that people aren't already drafting or thinking about their drafts.
Speaker 1: And we were looking through the average Draft position the
Speaker 1: a DP for the drafts that are already happening, and
Speaker 1: there are thousands of rafts have already happened. So he's
Speaker 1: pretty rigorous at this point. But man, there's some big
Speaker 1: mistakes there are there. There There are players they're too
Speaker 1: high players they are too low. I expect to correct
Speaker 1: themselves by August, but for right now, you can catch
Speaker 1: it by either avoiding players we think are going too
Speaker 1: high or nabbing players that are going too low. And
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about five guys for me, five
Speaker 1: for you that we believe are being misdrafted, either too
Speaker 1: high or too low. Yep. Side note, five guys is
Speaker 1: the worst strip mall burger joint in the world. Side note,
Speaker 1: I've never had it. I don't think. I don't think
Speaker 1: I've ever had it. You're not missing anything I've had
Speaker 1: in and Out and I can tell you I am
Speaker 1: not missing anything there. I'm with you on that. That
Speaker 1: is that is the most overrated. West Coasters love it,
Speaker 1: and all it tells me is they haven't been to
Speaker 1: good Hamburger restaurants. If if you love it, yeah, I
Speaker 1: love the premise of in and out, which is no freezers,
Speaker 1: everything's fresh. I love that part of it. But the
Speaker 1: fact that they've been meticulous with their expansion, really slow expansion,
Speaker 1: family owned, you know, haven't tried to like go across America. Whatever.
Speaker 1: They're parts of that that I love, But man, that's
Speaker 1: a boring burger. It really is like. The people who
Speaker 1: love it I've found are the ones that have a
Speaker 1: ton of topplings or an in crazy mix of toppings,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you love the toppings, you don't love
Speaker 1: the burger plays five guys has the soggiest, greasiest fries
Speaker 1: you've ever had. If you like your fry where you
Speaker 1: pick it up and it just droops straight down, five guys,
Speaker 1: it's your place. Crispy, yes, yes, thank you, and the
Speaker 1: least amount of potato as possible, less less potatoes. If
Speaker 1: what you're suggesting is that you don't like your fries
Speaker 1: to taste like like a wedge fry, where it's like
Speaker 1: I don't like and you know it's like favor I
Speaker 1: don't like the wedge. I don't either. Till this time,
Speaker 1: I didn't think that you and I were quite this
Speaker 1: sampatico on fries. Apparently we are. The McDonald's fries obviously excellent.
Speaker 1: Everybody thinks that's very good. Wendy's has had a hole
Speaker 1: a whole ad campaign that ran for two months about
Speaker 1: their new fries. I tried them one time. They were great.
Speaker 1: The yeah, they yeah, they're they're very good. We get
Speaker 1: them with the sea salt instead of regular Delicious. It
Speaker 1: is the new Wendy's fries are very consolutely smash Burger
Speaker 1: isn't everywhere, but it's it is at least in the Midwest.
Speaker 1: I think that their corporate headquarters is Denver and that's Uh.
Speaker 1: Smash Burger has very good, thin crispy fries. Have to
Speaker 1: check that out. I think you should give me an
Speaker 1: up to update on Scott Fish Bowl twelve. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: got live drafts going around the country. We got about
Speaker 1: not yet, not yet, we have about seven or eight places, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, location cities confirmed for We're gonna have like
Speaker 1: three thousand people in it this year. Unbelievable. I remember, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if we can handle seven hun every year.
Speaker 1: I don't think I can do it. But every year
Speaker 1: I get it done on I get more help or whatever.
Speaker 1: I just make sure it gets done. That's the answer.
Speaker 1: We don't want to growing because the cause is so good, um,
Speaker 1: and it just it just can't all be you doing
Speaker 1: the heavy lifting. So are there still methods by which
Speaker 1: people can join, either like the original Scott Fish Bowl
Speaker 1: or one of the satellites. Yeah, Scott Fish Bols. What
Speaker 1: should people do? Yeah, Scott. Fishbowl dot Com is where
Speaker 1: you can sign up, and there's still like a thousand
Speaker 1: invites yet to be sent, so there's there's lots of
Speaker 1: rooms still. Um. I will say like thirty one thou
Speaker 1: people have signed up for a fish Bowl this year,
Speaker 1: which is insane. Um, so one intent get in basically
Speaker 1: with the three thou limits. Have you announced this year's theme, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's basically cities were it's we're just doing
Speaker 1: cities and there's gonna be a whole bunch of regular cities.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a whole bunch of fictional cities just
Speaker 1: for fun. Give me an example of a fictional city.
Speaker 1: I mean, like Springfield or Gotham, like you know, just
Speaker 1: your bas there's uh. I think I'm going to be
Speaker 1: in the letter Kenny division because that that shows amazing.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen Oh sure as he's out now too,
Speaker 1: which is the spinoff of it. They're both so good.
Speaker 1: You gotta get on that chart services it on Hulu.
Speaker 1: They're both on Okay, I've had Hulu, but I didn't
Speaker 1: get it. Then I should. I'll go back. All right,
Speaker 1: that's a deal, all right, So it's gonna be cities. Um,
Speaker 1: what have you announced this year's Oddball scoring variation? Nope,
Speaker 1: In fact, this I'm I can't think of one. Usually
Speaker 1: I have one down by now, but I my the
Speaker 1: one that I was running with was should I nerve
Speaker 1: QB rushing? You know, because that's talked about? Yeah. That
Speaker 1: So that has been the one that's been petering back
Speaker 1: there in the back of my mind, and I just
Speaker 1: haven't pulled the trigger on it because it really puts
Speaker 1: the whole quarterback position up on its end, and somebody
Speaker 1: like Kirk Cousins becomes a lot more interesting and that
Speaker 1: would be Yeah, that's I think that would be fascinating.
Speaker 1: At the last f s g A, both Mike Right
Speaker 1: and Jason Moore we're trying to convince me that was
Speaker 1: the like I had thought about him for years, but
Speaker 1: they were like, you should do this and you'll hate
Speaker 1: it the reason, Oh I like it. You should do that,
Speaker 1: all right. Last piece of business before we get to
Speaker 1: our five guys that have broken a DP s, it's
Speaker 1: our broken ADP podcast. Guillotine leaks and by the time
Speaker 1: you hear this it may be open. Um. We for
Speaker 1: this coming season. We're down to the nitty gritty. I
Speaker 1: think I said the same thing last week and we
Speaker 1: ended up needing a little more time. Guillotine Leaks dot
Speaker 1: com opening very very soon, if not already. When you
Speaker 1: hear this, all right, I'm gonna let you go first.
Speaker 1: I will defer to you're not really the guest to
Speaker 1: guess your in my kitchen, but you know in that regard,
Speaker 1: you my guest. Talk to me about the first broken
Speaker 1: a DP player. I think the first one I want
Speaker 1: to start with is a guy who I think has
Speaker 1: top twenty four wide receiver potential this year, and he
Speaker 1: is currently going as wide receiver thirty nine, and I
Speaker 1: fully expect this to correct. Um. It's it's Rashade Bateman.
Speaker 1: They lost Hollywood Brown. They didn't really add anything. The
Speaker 1: starting wide receivers for the Ravens at this point are
Speaker 1: Rashade Bateman, Devin Duverna, and James proche Like. It's not
Speaker 1: good there, um, but mostly look at wide receiver thirty nine.
Speaker 1: He's going as he missed the first five games this season,
Speaker 1: so in the final twelve games he was wide receiver
Speaker 1: forty three and then lost Hollywood Brown. He had sixty
Speaker 1: eight targets. He's gonna have a hundred plus this year.
Speaker 1: He was basically this a DP last year in his
Speaker 1: rookie season, missing games, and now he's got so much
Speaker 1: more opportunity for targets. I think his hundred and ten,
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty targets is borderline. His floor wide receiver
Speaker 1: thirty nine is just is just ridiculous to me. It's
Speaker 1: a six two two three nine forty guy who owns
Speaker 1: the ball when it's in the yea he did in college.
Speaker 1: This is my only hesitation on Bateman is and I
Speaker 1: went back for a previous podcast maybe a month ago.
Speaker 1: I went back and watched through several late season Raven
Speaker 1: games an NFL game pass, just to get back up
Speaker 1: to speed on Bateman. I just never saw like the
Speaker 1: I never saw the special things that I saw at
Speaker 1: Minnesota in college. I'm hoping that comes together near two.
Speaker 1: We've said it many many times. He changed his number
Speaker 1: to number seven. I believe that's from twelve to seven.
Speaker 1: That's right there. We've said it many times. Opportunity is
Speaker 1: more important than talent in Fantasy. Two plus targets walked
Speaker 1: out the door and didn't come back in. It's it's
Speaker 1: an it's a perfect opportunity for Bateman. Okay, my first
Speaker 1: broken a DP player is also a wide receiver. Mike Williams. Now,
Speaker 1: this is my this is this is the guy I
Speaker 1: think is the least broken out of the give the
Speaker 1: players want to give you. I think are massively broken
Speaker 1: by several rounds off in ADP. Mike Williams is current
Speaker 1: ADP as wide receiver twenty five. Um, I've got him
Speaker 1: as uh his I've got him his wide receiver thirty one,
Speaker 1: So not a lot lower, maybe one or two rounds lower.
Speaker 1: But I just want to talk philosophically. Everybody else you're
Speaker 1: gonna hear it's gonna be a lot more broken than this. Um.
Speaker 1: I worry about any player who has posted his only
Speaker 1: one really good season in his contract here. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that's Mike Williams. Last year you got his most game
Speaker 1: play games played, He nearly doubled his previous high in receptions,
Speaker 1: he doubled his previous year's touchdown output, and he said
Speaker 1: a career high in receiving yards all in his contract here. Um.
Speaker 1: Before that, he has been an injury plagued player who
Speaker 1: has been questionable so many times. As you know, Scott
Speaker 1: and the question will take he placed through it so
Speaker 1: times doesn't always play well in those questionable games, and
Speaker 1: then you're always battling all week. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be able to use him or not. He's questionable,
Speaker 1: and you know, I hope I'm wrong. This is the
Speaker 1: guy that I hope I'm I really hope I'm wrong
Speaker 1: about is it's I adore Justin Herbert. The upside is
Speaker 1: every bit as high as it was last year, and
Speaker 1: I'm not as down. I'm not totally down on him,
Speaker 1: but wide receiver to me feels a little bit rich
Speaker 1: for Mike Williams. Yeah. It also doesn't help that remember
Speaker 1: his start last year, he had like six touchdowns in
Speaker 1: the first five games four games, so his last ten
Speaker 1: games or so, he had three touchdowns all year. There,
Speaker 1: there's some credence to you know, maybe it was you know,
Speaker 1: front loaded a lot of his stats last year. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go to your next broken a DP player. I
Speaker 1: will go to Rashad Penny. Who's going to arb you
Speaker 1: only are they here? Um, if some of these name
Speaker 1: changes come through, yes that they will be. Yes, he's
Speaker 1: going as the top one player. He's already been injured
Speaker 1: in O t A s in his time. He misses
Speaker 1: games constantly. I know he's track record. His sample size
Speaker 1: of like what six or seven games when he gets
Speaker 1: four teen plus touches is great, he's really good. But
Speaker 1: that's about the amount of full games he's ever played
Speaker 1: in his three four year career. Now, Um, it's it's
Speaker 1: mostly because I'm a Walker fan, I'm a Ken Walker fan.
Speaker 1: I think he's perfect for that offense. I think he's
Speaker 1: perfect for what Pete Carroll wants to do. Um, And
Speaker 1: I just can't trust the injuries Walker. You know what
Speaker 1: his injuries have been. He missed part of it. He
Speaker 1: missed one game with an ankle injury once in his
Speaker 1: collegiate career, Like that's his He missed games some games
Speaker 1: with COVID, but I'm not going to count that his injury.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and I'm with you, you know, and Penny.
Speaker 1: So we've got the We've got a lot, We've seen
Speaker 1: a lot of pennies five. This is his fifth year.
Speaker 1: I believe in the league. He's had one good month
Speaker 1: and I know it's the last month, but man, everybody
Speaker 1: tends to just project last December into the next year.
Speaker 1: All the time, and I'm just I'm just not ready
Speaker 1: to forgive Rashad Penny for all of the broken dreams
Speaker 1: that he's had since being a first round And if
Speaker 1: you're the end, you look at what the team did,
Speaker 1: if they loved Penny and really believed in him. No
Speaker 1: way does a rebuilding team put that kind of capital,
Speaker 1: you know, the running back position. About the next broken
Speaker 1: a DP player. Zach ertz Arizona tight end going off
Speaker 1: the board is tight end twelve. What I've got him
Speaker 1: his tight end seven. He was tight end five after
Speaker 1: joining the Cardinals in Week seven last year. Tight end
Speaker 1: five and PPR his average game as a Cardinal, a
Speaker 1: team he joined at the bye, By the way, a
Speaker 1: very alids seven targets, five receptions fifty two yards. So
Speaker 1: five receptions fifty two yards. There's ten PPR points right there.
Speaker 1: He scored a third of a touchdown a game that's,
Speaker 1: by tight end standards reliable, just reliable reliability. Ten points
Speaker 1: is automatically puts you into the tight ends seven territory
Speaker 1: on a per game average. The Cardinals lost the second
Speaker 1: most targets in the off season. Scott two hundred fifty
Speaker 1: eight vacated targets same, counting the DeAndre Hopkins for six games.
Speaker 1: I hadn't even thought about that, right, He's got six
Speaker 1: games with great point um. And yes they added in
Speaker 1: Marquis Brown. He'll soak up some of the two, but
Speaker 1: not all of the two, not even close. So you know,
Speaker 1: zach Ertz gonna get a ton of usage. And unlike
Speaker 1: either tight ends that are going on around that same
Speaker 1: area that he's going in, he doesn't have the touchdown dependency, right,
Speaker 1: that guy's like Hunter, Henry and Pat Fryarmouth have had, yes,
Speaker 1: especially Henry. Yeah, that's it's a very safe it's it's
Speaker 1: it's not difficult to get into the top twelve tight ends.
Speaker 1: But when you can see a guy who's safe and gets,
Speaker 1: you know, a touchdown every three games, that's almost a lock.
Speaker 1: There's zach Ertz. Yeah right there, All right, let's do
Speaker 1: one more before we take a break. Who's the next
Speaker 1: broken a player? You know, only because you brought up
Speaker 1: zach ERTs, I'm gonna go a new different spot on
Speaker 1: my list and stay at the tight end position. Since
Speaker 1: we're talking tight end stat lines and gold colke Met
Speaker 1: he's currently going his tight end seventeen hundred sixty three
Speaker 1: over also way late in your draft usually. Um that's
Speaker 1: I mean thirteenth round fourteen, your double digit rounds by then. Um,
Speaker 1: so he's my second tight end in many cases. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's your second tight end of it. I think he
Speaker 1: could easily finish as a top twelve tight end, much
Speaker 1: like zach ERT's probably on the tail end of that
Speaker 1: top twelve. But listen, this ninety three targets last year
Speaker 1: at the tight end position was even. Yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 1: That's a lot. Tied with Darren Waller six among tight
Speaker 1: ends in target share for his team, seventeen percent of
Speaker 1: his team's targets. Uh. He had sixty catches, which was
Speaker 1: tied for twelve. He had six hundred and twelve yards,
Speaker 1: which was also twelve. He's top twelve in a lot
Speaker 1: of statistics tar targets. He did not score a touchdown
Speaker 1: last year. He did not despite being seventh in red
Speaker 1: zone targets among tight or twelve in rend zone targets
Speaker 1: among tight ends. This tells you plenty about where Justin
Speaker 1: Fields was as a passer last year, and Nick Foles
Speaker 1: and right and and Dalton. That team just couldn't get
Speaker 1: quality throws his way, which is why you see the
Speaker 1: high targets, but the lower receptions, why you see the
Speaker 1: red zone targets, but you don't see. So where you
Speaker 1: were going with zach Ertz, You're just mentioned he was
Speaker 1: like five fifty after after the buy uh Cole Comet,
Speaker 1: he barely was in the offense in the first five games.
Speaker 1: His numbers are like two targets, one target, almost nothing.
Speaker 1: In his last twelve games he was at Jean six
Speaker 1: targets and forty five yards a game. All right. He
Speaker 1: was all in there. So I think if that continues
Speaker 1: with a new a new coaching staff, with Justin Fields
Speaker 1: at the helm all year and improving because he's not
Speaker 1: a rookie anymore, I think he might scoreboard the zero touchdoubts.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be nuts? He'll be more than He'll be
Speaker 1: more than zero without a doubt. Cole commit the there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a bad offense. I believe the good news
Speaker 1: is there's they didn't add anybody to direct passes away
Speaker 1: from Cold commit nobody. So negative game scripts, negative game
Speaker 1: scripts gonna helps him to agreed. So I'm with you,
Speaker 1: it's it's not Cold Comet is going to be tight
Speaker 1: end five. It's cold comets going at tight end seventeen
Speaker 1: and he has every opportunity to draft him weight and
Speaker 1: him being one of the guys that you're like, he's
Speaker 1: the top twelve guy. Now. Yeah, So it's if he's
Speaker 1: going and say the seventeenth round, well, tight end seventeen,
Speaker 1: he could outperform that by five rounds. Yeah, and nobody'd
Speaker 1: be surprised. That's a great value. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we'll get to the second half of our broken a
Speaker 1: DP players on Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly,
Speaker 1: segment number two. Paul Charging and Scott Fish with you.
Speaker 1: We're going through our broken A DP players. We've already
Speaker 1: identified five and now the next five. James Robinson, Jaguars
Speaker 1: running back to me has a broken ADP. His current
Speaker 1: ADP is running back thirty six. That is round number eight.
Speaker 1: I have him is running back fifty five zero, twelve
Speaker 1: running backs later. There's a tangible and intangible reasons for
Speaker 1: concern over Robinson. Scott, let me hit the tangible first.
Speaker 1: While we're optimistic that Cam Akers will be the first
Speaker 1: ever running back to make a meaningful successful return from
Speaker 1: a torn achilles, we don't even know if that's going
Speaker 1: to happen, and Acres looked totally mundane last January when
Speaker 1: he tried to come back from his torn achilles. Robinson
Speaker 1: has the entire history of the NFL working against him,
Speaker 1: as really, no NFL running back has ever recovered to
Speaker 1: become a meaningful performer, fantasy performer, real life performer off
Speaker 1: of an achilles injury. And maybe medicine has changed to
Speaker 1: the point that it's maybe medicines changed to the point
Speaker 1: that Acres will be good and James Robinson will be good,
Speaker 1: But we don't know that, and do I want to
Speaker 1: bet on that? And when will he be recovered week one? Right? Okay,
Speaker 1: you know we don't know. I mean, cam Akers came
Speaker 1: back really really fast, but didn't look good when he
Speaker 1: did come back. So even when he's available, will James
Speaker 1: Robinson be at resembling close to what he was? But
Speaker 1: even then, yeah, and this is where it gets a
Speaker 1: little bit mean, and he were going to go into
Speaker 1: untanned intangible areas. To my eyes, James Robinson was an
Speaker 1: NFL average back whose fantasy success was largely predicated on
Speaker 1: volume and getting almost all the carries and all the
Speaker 1: goal line carries first team high high share of the offense.
Speaker 1: If you're going to take an NFL average talent and
Speaker 1: then say just sap ten tow of his explosiveness, that's
Speaker 1: the problem. I'm worried about what's left. James Robinson was
Speaker 1: one of those guys that he was good and he
Speaker 1: was okay, high volume, and every once in a while
Speaker 1: he'd make a play like a leaping over someone or
Speaker 1: just breaking through and scorting through, escorting through like two
Speaker 1: a couple of he'd make some plays and be like,
Speaker 1: there's there's the flash. But it happens so infrequently, and
Speaker 1: because of this injury, maybe that that's what's God, that
Speaker 1: tiny little bit is gone. That's the worry. That's the worry.
Speaker 1: So I'm not touching James Robinson um. And that's you know.
Speaker 1: And I think I looked at Travis Etienne. I think
Speaker 1: he's going about where he should go. So I didn't
Speaker 1: flip this over and go, well, you should take at
Speaker 1: in earlier, although I I do like him a little
Speaker 1: bit more than his average draft position. But I'm really
Speaker 1: down on Robinson. You don't think thirty six, you think
Speaker 1: you don't think you should take Eten earlier than where
Speaker 1: he's going, earlier than going okay, thank you in front
Speaker 1: of you. I think I have him his running back
Speaker 1: nineteen Okay, yeah, I was in that area that might.
Speaker 1: I love him, and I think he might have him
Speaker 1: higher than me. Now I have to I don't know.
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. I don't have my rankings in
Speaker 1: front of me. I kind of love Trevor Lawrence, who
Speaker 1: throw so many of those throws, even with like Treadwell
Speaker 1: and Agnew and what are so short, so many his throws.
Speaker 1: I'm just loving the potential of et and his college,
Speaker 1: you know, outlet being in that position. All right, give
Speaker 1: me another broken a DP player. I am gonna stay
Speaker 1: with the Bears because before the break I did Cole commet,
Speaker 1: because stay with that offense who did in very little.
Speaker 1: I mean, they brought in Equinamius say Brown, they brought
Speaker 1: in Byron pengle Um. I'm going with Darren Mooney. He's
Speaker 1: wide receiver thirty sixty two overall, which is I suppose
Speaker 1: it could be. This is almost a Mike Williams type
Speaker 1: ding up broken because I have him, I have him.
Speaker 1: I believes my wide receiver right now, she's got him
Speaker 1: a little a little higher. I think he's I think
Speaker 1: he's got a ceiling in that top two, you know,
Speaker 1: top twenty four wide receivers. Um. We know that the
Speaker 1: target percentage could be extremely high for Darknell Mooney. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it absolutely could. He did have a really high percentage
Speaker 1: uh um last year as well. But last year he
Speaker 1: went with Ellen Robinson there. He was wide receiver twenty three.
Speaker 1: Already with with Allen Robinson there, with having to deal
Speaker 1: with the Fulls, the Dalton Fields, the other coach, the
Speaker 1: you know, the old coaching staff, he had to deal
Speaker 1: with all that, and he was wide receiver twenty three
Speaker 1: and he's currently going worse than that, even though his
Speaker 1: situation improved. So that's why I feel like he's currently
Speaker 1: being a slightly under drafted. UM. I don't know how
Speaker 1: much more targets he can get though I think he had.
Speaker 1: I think he had a lot like hundred forty Yeah, hopefully,
Speaker 1: but better targets, right, so we don't need we don't
Speaker 1: need to advance on a hundred forty targets. That is
Speaker 1: a lot, but if you can get higher quality targets.
Speaker 1: This is also the cold Comet story again, better passing,
Speaker 1: better efficiency in the hundred forty, then you can get
Speaker 1: far better results out of Darnell Mooney. Um that And
Speaker 1: and who do you think is the other starter opposite him? Right,
Speaker 1: So there's some other you know, there's some other Bear
Speaker 1: starting receiver that nobody's drafting. It's I mean, we just
Speaker 1: mentioned st Brown and Pringle and they drafted Velis Jones.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be Jones, especially not Byron Pringles,
Speaker 1: my guy. I thought Pringle looked had flashes of competence
Speaker 1: in the Kansas City offense. He has got a guy
Speaker 1: that has definitely showing flashes in the past, but there's
Speaker 1: never been anything consistent. But if if he gets consistent
Speaker 1: work in the lineup, maybe it turned Maybe it happens.
Speaker 1: One of one of the hallmarks of our preseason Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Weekly Scott as we talked about last pick of
Speaker 1: the draft. You know, give me guys, the last pick
Speaker 1: of the draft Byron Pringle is a guy to consider
Speaker 1: last pick of my draft. Like it. One more thing
Speaker 1: on Mooney. Just watching last year, it seemed like Fields
Speaker 1: preferred to go to Mooney, and that's kind of why.
Speaker 1: But also even when he got in trouble, it felt
Speaker 1: like he was looking for Mooney, and that's something I
Speaker 1: really like to see for a potential wide receiver one
Speaker 1: on a team. The next broken ADP player is rookie
Speaker 1: wide receiver Sky More from Kansas City, currently going off
Speaker 1: the board as wide receiver sixty five. What round fifteen,
Speaker 1: I've got him as wide receiver forty nine, which feels low. Actually,
Speaker 1: I'm tempted to move him up, and I'll try try
Speaker 1: to talk to myself into it. Right now, there's um
Speaker 1: there's a very real chance the best wide receiver on
Speaker 1: a Patrick's Patrick Mahomes led offense right now, right this minute,
Speaker 1: is sky Moore. It's extremely possible. The Chiefs lead the
Speaker 1: NFL in vacated targets by a mile. Fifty three per
Speaker 1: cent of last year's targets are gone, Hill, Pringle, Robinson gone,
Speaker 1: and sure Travis Kelsey is gonna get fed. But among
Speaker 1: wide receivers Sky morse competition for those delicious Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: targets are the proven unreliable Judu Smith Schuster and the
Speaker 1: proven unreliable Nicole Hardman. Sky Moore could be he could
Speaker 1: end up if he's the best receiver on this team
Speaker 1: right now. Wide receiver on this team right now, he
Speaker 1: could walk right into a Tyreek Hill level of target
Speaker 1: chair absolute. Really. I know there's been talking about them
Speaker 1: spreading the ball around a little bit more, but there's
Speaker 1: just so much volume to be had, and if he
Speaker 1: turns out to be the best one, and it feels
Speaker 1: like he probably is the best one, um, especially since
Speaker 1: he should get targets that Juju might take a lot
Speaker 1: of the low stuff. He might, he might get a
Speaker 1: lot of guy I like it more. Okay, your fifth
Speaker 1: and final broken a DP players. Sure, So I'm sticking
Speaker 1: with the wide receiver position. Say you know, I did
Speaker 1: Rashade Bateman, I did Darnell Mooney. Now I'm going with
Speaker 1: a guy who's currently going wide receiver forty one overall,
Speaker 1: No wide forty one and nine two overall, Alan Robinson
Speaker 1: for the Rams. I don't under what is going on?
Speaker 1: What are we doing here? I don't understand it. Did
Speaker 1: people not see Robert Woods dominate as the wide receiver
Speaker 1: two in that offense? Did they? I mean? Okay, so
Speaker 1: the first nine weeks last year, before Robert Woods got injured,
Speaker 1: he was wide receiver twelve and in weeks twelve weeks
Speaker 1: twelve on Odell Beckham was wide receiver, and now we
Speaker 1: have Allen Robinson taking that role. Even in the games
Speaker 1: that you know that there were the games that they
Speaker 1: were both out, uh, Van Jefferson had a decent game
Speaker 1: like that second receiver is very valuable there, even if
Speaker 1: you think he's kind of washed. Why do you? Receiver
Speaker 1: forty one is way way, way too long? This is
Speaker 1: we forgot he existed while we were drafted. He wasn't
Speaker 1: in the like a d P as I was drafted,
Speaker 1: and then oh at the end, I gotta steal Why
Speaker 1: do you? Why did you? Receiver forty one is ridiculous
Speaker 1: for the second receiver in that offense is gonna put
Speaker 1: up top twenty five numbers. I believe I have I
Speaker 1: have Robinson inside my top twenty five and he's going
Speaker 1: to wide forty one. I think that's majorly broken. I'm
Speaker 1: with you on that. And and and it's if you're
Speaker 1: holding down suppressing the value of Allen Robinson because of
Speaker 1: what he did as a bear in a Matt Naggy offense,
Speaker 1: shame on you. I'm with you. That's that's I think
Speaker 1: that's extremely valid. Our final ADP. Broken player is a
Speaker 1: player I've already talked about at least once every month
Speaker 1: now for three months, so I'm sorry to repeat myself
Speaker 1: on that. Right, it's been two weeks, So sorry about
Speaker 1: going back to this guy so many times. Rookie running
Speaker 1: back Damian Pierce Houston. His current ADP is running back
Speaker 1: fifty four. He's going off the board in round fifteen.
Speaker 1: He's my running back thirty three zero thirty. Now there's
Speaker 1: expected to be something of a rotation of backs in Houston,
Speaker 1: but the all but certain goal line player is going
Speaker 1: to be Pierce. He's built perfectly for it, and nobody
Speaker 1: else really is there. And he's only got to beat
Speaker 1: out Marlon Mack and Rex Burke head for carries. That
Speaker 1: should not be a problem. It really shouldn't. My My
Speaker 1: worst fear I talked about this on the show too,
Speaker 1: is that the Texans will text in it up and
Speaker 1: make it a rotation and we'll all be good when
Speaker 1: it I think it pretty clearly should be Pierced. It
Speaker 1: should be Pierce. Now we've got a new coaching staff, right,
Speaker 1: so new offensive philosophy, and you know, my hope is
Speaker 1: that they will galvanize around Pierce. But even if he's
Speaker 1: a role player and goal line back. He should be
Speaker 1: going way before running back now. For people aren't familiar
Speaker 1: with Pierce because you maybe it didn't break down tape
Speaker 1: in college and all that other stuff. He is powerful,
Speaker 1: He's got a compact build, really good footwork. I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm comparing. I'm going to compare him to a Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer. I'm not in any way suggesting he's going
Speaker 1: to be Jerome Bettis. But if you think about Bettis
Speaker 1: is a big body back with amazing footwork, you have
Speaker 1: the fundamental idea of what Pierce can bring to the
Speaker 1: table um. And they throw to him. They threw to
Speaker 1: him in college a ton and not for a big back.
Speaker 1: You rarely think big back streaking down field. But that's
Speaker 1: how they would use him. They would they would send
Speaker 1: him down the hashes, and they've thrown him twenty yards
Speaker 1: down field. And that if they If if Houston can
Speaker 1: find ways to integrate Pierce into the passing game as well,
Speaker 1: all the upside would be juicy. Man. The biggest worry
Speaker 1: on him, and I talked about this pre draft. Florida
Speaker 1: never really used him as a workhorse back, only one
Speaker 1: game in his entire college career. Did he touch the
Speaker 1: ball more than fifteen times in a game. And so
Speaker 1: that's why I'm assuming he's still gonna be a rotational guy.
Speaker 1: But he's the best guy in that backfield in all probability. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what that's certainly what we want to go. We
Speaker 1: want to we want to bet on talent and hope
Speaker 1: it wins out. Yeah, yep, I'm with you, all right,
Speaker 1: there you go. Were there any other players that you
Speaker 1: were attempted to mention that maybe you know you didn't
Speaker 1: get around too. I mean there were, but nothing nothing
Speaker 1: as stark as these. Brendon Cooks is always broken always,
Speaker 1: He's always broken always. No but everybody drafts he has
Speaker 1: failed to be a wide receiver, a top twenty four
Speaker 1: wide receivers, so wide receiver two or one once in
Speaker 1: his entire career, and he's always going outside of it.
Speaker 1: Nobody ever wants him. Now, all you have to do
Speaker 1: is just sit back and enjoy your six catches for
Speaker 1: a d yards coin flips, chance at a touchdowns once again,
Speaker 1: wide receiver one on an offense going to be in
Speaker 1: a lot of negative game scripts. Davis Mills, who we
Speaker 1: both kind of like, I like him, is only going
Speaker 1: to be better this year. I think it's I've said
Speaker 1: it many times going into last year's draft, and now
Speaker 1: it seems really obvious with the way the quarterback shook out,
Speaker 1: But had Davis Mills been in this past year's draft,
Speaker 1: he'd have been number one by a mile. I remember
Speaker 1: last year we were both we were both wanting Davis
Speaker 1: Mills to go to the Vikings, and I remember that's. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was yet another thing much like the Fries that
Speaker 1: we had in coming. Super frustrate. But there's so many
Speaker 1: frustrations as Viking fans. Yes, it's very very tough. Us
Speaker 1: Surprised you didn't have Kirk Cousins as broken ADP. Well,
Speaker 1: he probably it's a broken I mean, all the guy
Speaker 1: does is finished quarterback twelve every year and then everybody
Speaker 1: ranks from his quarterback twenty. I don't know what more
Speaker 1: you want. He's get this. The last time he has
Speaker 1: he didn't throw a touchdown in the past, did not
Speaker 1: throw a touchdown in the game was thirty one games,
Speaker 1: agot one. I mean, what do you want, dude, is
Speaker 1: he's just a rock solid fantasy contributor. Yeah, super safe,
Speaker 1: super safe. Agreed? All right, thank you, Scott and thanks
