1
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: Everybody.

2
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,079
Speaker 2: It's Thursday, March thirteenth, twenty twenty five. Welcome to the

3
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 2: NFL Fantasy Football Podcast.

4
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: We're also waiting for Aaron Rodgers.

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 2: It's me and your man, MG Marcus Grand joined by

6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,159
Speaker 2: Michael Florio and Lakwan Jones. I'm checking my timeline. I

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: haven't missed anything. Right. He still is on a beach

8
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: wearing a blanket or something right now?

9
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: Is that what it is?

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 3: He probably paid for that beach because you got to

11
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 3: pay for your beaches in Jersey for some oddre reason.

12
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: Wait really, yeah.

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I'm flabbergast.

14
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 2: I'm flabbergasted, like I am speechless, Like what like for

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: the beach, Like not for parking at the beach, but

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: like to go on the beach.

17
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: You got to pay.

18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 4: All the Jersey shore folks know, yes, you are paying

19
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 4: ten bucks twenty bucks depending on where you're going, which beach,

20
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 4: where you're going.

21
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: That's why Snooky had so much trouble finding it. That

22
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 3: makes more.

23
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 2: Sense, I am. I am. I am literally flabbergasted, Like

24
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 2: I don't know, I've never been to a beach in Jersey.

25
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: I can't imagine.

26
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: It's just I'm gonna be biased here I can't imagine

27
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: as nice as an La beach, Like.

28
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 4: Don't go in the water, I go to the beach

29
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 4: for the standing in the boardwalk into games.

30
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: All right, okay, you.

31
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 3: Know, I know the bobs are gonna get unhappy with

32
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: me for this. But uh, like, if Draymond Green was

33
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 3: a free agent, we wouldn't have wall to wall coverage

34
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 3: of where he's gonna sign. So why are we doing

35
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 3: this for Aaron Rodgers?

36
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: I don't know. I honestly was thinking that same thing

37
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: this morning, like why are we letting this man hold

38
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: us hostage with coverage? Why he is forty one years old,

39
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 2: he is long past his peak and he's just.

40
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: Generally a headache.

41
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: Now, like, why are we letting this man hold us hostage?

42
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: And if I'm a Steelers or a Giants fan, I'm

43
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: even more upset that this man is holding our team's hostage.

44
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson should should ask him to throw hands right now?

45
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yes, like this is ridiculous. That being said,

46
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: I am checking my timeline to see when he inevitably signs,

47
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: because if it happens during the middle of this podcast,

48
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to talk about it.

49
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: There was nineteen quarterbacks who through four hundred or more

50
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: passes last year In like every metric, he ranks sixteen

51
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 3: through nineteen. I'm like he's and that includes Kirk Cousins

52
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 3: being in there, Like it's.

53
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: At this point in his career he is mid.

54
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 3: I don't even know if he's mid anymore.

55
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously he's a Hall of Fame career, but

56
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: at this point in his career, he is not that

57
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 2: same dude, Steelers, clean yourselves up.

58
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: You're better than this.

59
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: Like, if he wants to still play, by all means,

60
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 3: still play, and if teams want you that, that's cool,

61
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: but you don't have Like Peter Schrager yesterday was like,

62
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: he's going to wait a month because he knows we'll

63
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: talk about him all month, And I.

64
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: Was like, you know what, He's right, Like, you don't

65
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: have to. You don't have to. We don't have to

66
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: argue about what Stephen A. Smith said about Lebron James.

67
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: We don't have to talk about what Aaron Rodgers is doing.

68
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: We don't.

69
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: We are a free people who can decide what we

70
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 2: talk about. We don't have to, like I said, though,

71
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 2: repeating that being said, all right, we do have a

72
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 2: lot to talk about on the show, though, because free

73
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: agency is still going on, there are signings. We will

74
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: catch you up on the latest fantasy relevant free agent moves.

75
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: Also going to talk about some of the guys that

76
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: are still out there. Against my better judgment, I am

77
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: going to talk about some of the guys who are

78
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: potentially still out there, knowing that the way things happen

79
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: that by the time we finished this show, or by

80
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: the time you listen to this show, some of these

81
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: things could have changed. We'll also dive into some of

82
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: the winners and losers of free agency so far, understanding that, look,

83
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: there's still more guys to sign, there's still the draft.

84
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: Things can change, but you know, we got to feel

85
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: about an hour, so this is what we're gonna do.

86
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: Let's start, though, with some of the latest updates. When

87
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: it comes to player movement around the NFL. The Rams

88
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: apparently unable to it's like a deal to trade Cooper Cup.

89
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: They are going to release him, so he's going to

90
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: be a free agent. So I add one more wide

91
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: receiver to Wells already a very shrinking wide receiver pool.

92
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, I feel like we've sort of talked

93
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: about this a little bit, although I guess now that

94
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: potentially he's a free agent. Qu On, I saw you

95
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: mentioned yesterday that you think the Jaguars would be a

96
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: nice fit for Cooper Cup.

97
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely with William Cohen, he knows

98
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 4: his work, man. I mean, they have a vacated spot

99
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 4: for you, a veteran to sit in that slot position.

100
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 4: I mean, I love Parker Washington, but I think Cooper

101
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 4: Cup you can get a lot more out of him,

102
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 4: and he doesn't have to be the wide receiver one,

103
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 4: So I think it would be a nice plug and fit.

104
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 4: So you have Trevor Lawrence since twenty twenty one, he's

105
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 4: top five and targeted in the slot position. It's obviously

106
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 4: his favorite position to be targeting. You got rid of

107
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 4: two of his most familiar guys in Evan Ingram and

108
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 4: Christian Kirk. It just makes too much sense that you

109
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 4: could put him there in their work.

110
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: Is it going to hurt your heart to have to

111
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: share for Trevor Lawrence? Yes, it will.

112
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: Let's get him on the Patriots. Man May needs someone

113
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: to throw the ball, right. Yeah. I really feel like

114
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 3: Drake May and Cooper Cup could be something as well too.

115
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 4: Man like I would love to see that and be

116
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 4: able to root for Drake May and Cooper Cup.

117
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 2: It does fit a certain Patriot aesthetic too, having Cooper

118
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: Cup there with Drake May throwing him the football. Though

119
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: he's a little too tall Cooper Cup to be a

120
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: prototypical Patriots slot receiver, right, He's he's a little bit

121
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: too too tall for that to happen, you know, so

122
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: we'll see. I mean, but Florial, if you know, wherever

123
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: he lands, whoever he's with, is he still a wide

124
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: receiver one?

125
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: Or has he has? That ship sailed on Cooper Cup.

126
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 3: That ship has long sailed And I had hope for

127
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: him last season coming into that that he could Uh.

128
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: I didn't think he would be like, you know, the

129
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: Triple Crown winner or anything like that, but I thought

130
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 3: like he could be. It could be one A one

131
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 3: B him and Pooka Nakula and like they would be

132
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 3: very close and Cooper Cup was going a couple of

133
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: rounds later. But that wasn't the case. Like I know,

134
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup started the year when he came back really hot,

135
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: but he faded and faded as the year went on,

136
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 3: and there was a stretch where it was just really

137
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 3: hard to use him. So I think he is at

138
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: this point more of a complimentary piece in real life

139
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 3: and in fantasy. But you know, he's the name Cooper Cup.

140
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 3: People in August are going to see it and they'll

141
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: probably pull him up the board a little bit because

142
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 3: they'll be like the middle rounds or whatever, and someone

143
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 3: will be like, Cooper Cup is still here? Give me

144
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 3: that all day.

145
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very interesting.

146
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: The very astute, very very wonderful Arif Hassan can follow

147
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: him on social media. He didn't make the point that

148
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: there's been a lot of hubbub over Cooper Cup, a

149
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: guy who has one All Pro season right now, amazing.

150
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: It was an amazing season, right and he ended up

151
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: with a Super Bowl MVP. But really, I mean, you look,

152
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,119
Speaker 2: he's got two one thousand yard seasons in his career.

153
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: He's got two seasons with double digit touchdowns. He's been

154
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: great eight for fantasy. But it does seem like the

155
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 2: hype is a little bit outsized for what statistically he

156
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: has done in his career. I'm not asking you. I'm

157
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: not asking you to do this. I'm not asking you.

158
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: I'm not asking you, that's all.

159
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: I'm just pretty wild he is two one thousand yeard

160
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 3: seasons and two double digit touchdown seasons and one one

161
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: hundred catch season. But that year he blew all almost

162
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 3: two thousand and sixty like it was the best wide

163
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: receiver class a year of a generation. But besides, that

164
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 3: means more to us than the numbers.

165
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: Man, I look at he was obviously very good for

166
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: the Rams.

167
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 1: He helped them win a Super Bowl.

168
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, I think when you take a

169
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: step back and you sort of look at the entirety

170
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 2: of his career, that you know, maybe it's not what

171
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: we've hyped it up to be against I'm not asking.

172
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: Hall of famer, not an NFL Hall of Famer, Yes,

173
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: a start that. Yet, man, he's not an NFL Hall

174
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: He's he thought about this and I'm not going to

175
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 3: say it out loud or accept what you guys are

176
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 3: saying right now. Means more to us as guy.

177
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely, he's the solely a ring of honor guy.

178
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: If you guys, if the Rams want to retire number

179
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: ten or whatever, have at it.

180
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 3: No, David Wright means more to me than any baseball

181
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 3: player ever. The Mets are retiring number five. He's not

182
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: a Hall of Famer though I can accept that.

183
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I cannot.

184
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: As on the lot in the last two shows, Laquana

185
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 2: has tried to put both Matthew Stafford and Cooper cup

186
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 2: just no questions asked in the Hall of Fame said personally, yeah,

187
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: but I mean Lakwan was just like, you know, lockdown, solid,

188
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: no discussion about it.

189
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: I'm like, you didn't like with a Hall of Famer.

190
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: Though, I guess true. I guess that's true. That works.

191
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: Speaking of big time wide receivers, I don't know if

192
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,599
Speaker 2: de Andre hopped you is a Hall of Famer necessarily,

193
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: but he's had a very good career now it appears

194
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: he is. It's the ring chasing portion of that career

195
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 2: was with the Chiefs last year, now is signing with

196
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: the Ravens one year, six million dollars. I mean, Florio

197
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: obviously his best days are sort of behind him. He's yeah, look,

198
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 2: I don't know that he's you know, he's not taking

199
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: a downgrade in quarterbacks going from Patrick Mahomes to Lamar Jackson.

200
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 2: But realistically, what can we expect out of dere Hopkins

201
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 2: for Fantasy Now?

202
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 3: This reminds me of like Julio Jones on the Titans

203
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: or the Bucks, or aj Green on the Cardinals. Stuff

204
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 3: like that, where like a big name, aging wide receiver

205
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 3: is at a point where fans are gonna hope that

206
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 3: he could get back to what he once was, But

207
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 3: I think realists know that those days are behind him.

208
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 3: He's gonna be thirty three at the start of the season.

209
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 3: Last season, he struggled to stand out on a Chiefs

210
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 3: team that was desperate for a wide receiver to out.

211
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 3: He's had declining metrics the last couple of years, and

212
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: I had some one of my mentions being like, he's

213
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 3: literally a year removed from being a thousand yard receiver,

214
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: and it's like, yeah, but it took one hundred and

215
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 3: fifty targets for him to break a thousand yards. He's

216
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 3: not going to get one hundred and fifty targets on

217
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 3: this Ravens offense. So I even had someone of my

218
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 3: mentions be like, I take him in the sixth, seventh round,

219
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 3: and I think there's going to be hyped there us fantasy.

220
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 3: You know, sikos no are going to be like no.

221
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: But the average fan is going to see DeAndre Hopkins

222
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,359
Speaker 3: teaming up with Lamar Jackson and get very very excited.

223
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 3: But I'd rather say Flowers. I'd rather a Shad Bateman.

224
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 3: I would rather the tight ends. I think he's at

225
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: a point where he's a contributor. He's a leader in

226
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 3: that locker room, and he provides valuable depth because the

227
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 3: Ravens were very thin at receiver behind their top two.

228
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 3: But I don't think for fantasy he really moves to

229
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: needle much.

230
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: We also have to stop and look, I admit that

231
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: I did this earlier in this very own podcast, but

232
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: we do have to stop the obsession with thousand yard seasons.

233
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: Like we need and we need to bump that up.

234
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 2: We do over seventeen games. One thousand yards is less

235
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: than sixty yards a game. It's like fifty eight and change. Right,

236
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 2: that's not great, but like it's just not so like,

237
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, we got we gotta raizor experence. I

238
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 2: don't know, call twelve hundred yards?

239
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: Is that fair?

240
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 3: Twelve hundred? Twelve hundred?

241
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 2: Okay, you know, I'm gonna do some quick math because

242
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 2: I'm not greated math. So twelve hundred that's seventy seventy

243
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 2: yards a game. That's a little more.

244
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.

245
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 4: He's not getting that on the Ravens. I mean, the

246
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 4: Ravens don't value wide receivers and I hate that its

247
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 4: sounds that way. I don't know another way to put it,

248
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 4: but they just don't. They're not priority and for fantasy,

249
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 4: like you get lucky with a Flowers with him being

250
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 4: a flex wide receiver three option, and it's like, yeah,

251
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 4: that's great and all, but you add DeAndre Hopkins to

252
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 4: this just definitely does not move the needle at all.

253
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 2: For me.

254
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 4: I really feel like he's gonna be same, same, but different,

255
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 4: but still the same Raven. It's not gonna be any

256
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 4: different from last season. But Fourio's right, and I feel

257
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 4: like that's why it's our job to sway the consensus

258
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 4: of the fantasy guys out there and girls and just

259
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 4: understand like the name does not you know, should it

260
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 4: should not still sell. You should look at the product

261
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 4: of what it's been in the last couple of years.

262
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 4: Once he signed to the Titans, I said it, I

263
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 4: think it's over, it's done. It's been a great run

264
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 4: for DeAndre Hopkins.

265
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess, yes, under the guys that do

266
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 2: no harm. If we're taking our fantasy hippocratic oath. Yes,

267
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 2: we should try to sway the hearts and minds of

268
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: other folks out there, or we could just let them

269
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: draft Dedre Hopkins in the sixth round and we reaped

270
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: the benefits. We can reap the benefits, like you know.

271
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: So it just depends on how petty you feel in

272
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: any given day, how you kind of approached the situation, Lakwan.

273
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: You mentioned Evan Ingram. He has left Jacksonville, he is

274
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: going to Denver, signs a two year, twenty three million

275
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 2: dollar deal with the Denver Broncos. My first response is

276
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: that I was on the network a couple of days

277
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: ago for free Agency Frenzy, and they asked me about

278
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: rookie playmakers or where they'd like to go, and I

279
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 2: sort of suggested, like, hey, it'd be cool if Tyler Warren,

280
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 2: the star tight end at Penn State, landed in Denver,

281
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: because Sean Payton has been trying to make.

282
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: It happen with the tight end position for a while.

283
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: And I'm not talking about all the Taysom Hill nonsense,

284
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: but sure we could talk about the Taysom Hill nonsense.

285
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 2: But whether it was you know, Juwan Johnson there you

286
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 2: get to Denver, they try to make it work with

287
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: Greg Dulstich, with Adam Troutman, nothing really happened. I thought

288
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: Tyler Warren would be a really nice addition for bow Knicks.

289
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: Instead it's Evan Ingram. I mean, ol Q he was

290
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: He did have one hundred catches one hundred and fourteen

291
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 2: catches just a couple seasons ago. I don't expect that

292
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 2: in Denver. But can he be say a low end

293
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 2: tight end one with the Broncos some weeks I would

294
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: say that all.

295
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: I don't know.

296
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 3: It's just more so Sean Payton. Rotation of players, like

297
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 3: that's what scares the heck out of me. Like even

298
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 3: you saying, like them signing Evan Ingram, I don't know

299
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 3: if that turns them off from the draft because it's like, Okay,

300
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: you got Jervonte Williams, you have Jalen McLain, Like you

301
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: have these players, and I don't understand why you're rotating

302
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 3: them and drafting all your estimate.

303
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 4: You have these wide receivers. Marvin Mims. We keep pounding

304
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 4: the table for him to be a consistent starter, but

305
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 4: he's coming off the field for most of the time.

306
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 4: So who's to say this is different? At the tight

307
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 4: end position, and we obviously know Sean Payton is going

308
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 4: to do what Sean Payton wants to do.

309
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: You just you just made me sad at the idea

310
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: of them signing of An Ingram and drafting Tyler Warren

311
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: like that, just you know, because like I felt that way. Look,

312
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: I felt that way about the Raiders drafting brock Bowers.

313
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: We see how that worked out.

314
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: Although you know, Michael Mayer is not a thing anymore

315
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: like I thought. You know, I thought Michael Mayer could

316
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: actually be a really productive tight end. It's not gonna

317
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 2: happen as long as brock Bowers is breathing. It just

318
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: makes me wonder, what, you know, if they drafted Tyler Warren,

319
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: which isn't if there's a good chance he won't even

320
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 2: be there when the Broncos are on the clock, what

321
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 2: that propefully could mean.

322
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: Hopefully he won't be there.

323
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, hopefully he goes to a team that will utilize him.

324
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: As the guy they'll actually use him. That's fair, that's fair.

325
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: We'll see how that happens. The Panthers signed Ricodoudele to

326
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: a one year deal. Floya, I asked you the other

327
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 2: day about Javonte Williams going to Dallas and you basically

328
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: said it's rip Rico Dawdell, So obviously the Cowboys decided

329
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 2: they are moving on. I don't know that I can

330
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 2: get excited about this, considering what we saw from Cuba Hubbard.

331
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 2: I also wonder, if you know, if I'm a Dynasty

332
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: player and I have Jonathan Brooks, should I hit.

333
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: The panic button on this right now?

334
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: No?

335
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 3: I don't think so at all for either one of

336
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 3: those players. I think the Panthers have made it clear

337
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 3: for the last few years now that they want to

338
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 3: have two running backs there because that's kind of what

339
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 3: the NFL has been. Unless you have like an absolute

340
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 3: workhorse running back, you need a good second running back.

341
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: And last year they made it pretty clear they thought

342
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 3: it was going to be Cuba and Brooks, and they

343
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 3: had Miles Sanders there the year prior and last year,

344
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 3: but Brooks has already come out and said he's not

345
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: playing twenty twenty five, so they needed a one year

346
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 3: stopgap to kind of be that in insurance for Cuba,

347
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 3: and and Rico Daddle kind of fits that. Like I've

348
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 3: seen people on Twitter saying, like maybe he he could

349
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 3: be a bigger thorn in the side than any of

350
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 3: the other running backs were last year, but we know

351
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 3: how it played out. I'm much less worried about Rico

352
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 3: stealing the job that I was Brooks, so I actually

353
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 3: feel good about Cuba Hubbard heading into next year. And

354
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 3: one interesting angle from this is Rico signed for the

355
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 3: same amount of money as Javonte Williams. So the Cowboys

356
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 3: just straight up picked Javonte over Rico, who they knew,

357
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 3: who they had in the building, who just had a

358
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 3: thousand yards for them. So that is always very telling

359
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 3: of a player. But my takeaway from it was kind

360
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 3: of like Javante is a better pass catcher. Maybe they're

361
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 3: the Cowboys. I think they're gearing up to draft a

362
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 3: running back early in the draft this year and make

363
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 3: Javonte kind of the complimentary piece.

364
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: Are you trying to get me back in on Javonte

365
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: Williams to that, which, no, right.

366
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 3: He could be he they I think they think there's

367
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 3: more upside there, but they're probably drafting a running back.

368
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean I guess it's that's true. Let's

369
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: see what happens if they because they draft Ashton gent

370
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 2: then you know, all bets are off.

371
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: If they don't, though, then MG, I fully expect you

372
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 3: to be back in. Quietly, he won't publicly say it,

373
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: but he will have a lot. Okay, look at it.

374
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: If I'm back in at some point, I'll put it

375
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: out here on this show. Like you know, I just like,

376
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 2: I just need some time with my thoughts. I need

377
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 2: some alone time.

378
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 3: You look at MG's teams at the end of August,

379
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 3: you're like, hell, you have Javonte Williams on every team.

380
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: You got a lot of you know, like you looking

381
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 2: at my underdog, you know, roster personages is like, wow,

382
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 2: I got Javonte Williams on like eighty percent. Like that's

383
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 2: happen again. A few other signings to run through. I'll

384
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: just list these all. You guys can tell me if

385
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: there's any of these that sort of gets you excited

386
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 2: at all. This one just hitting just a few minutes ago,

387
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 2: where he Moster signs with the Raiders. Mike Williams is

388
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: going back to the Charger, so he's back in Los Angeles.

389
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: Kenneth Gainwell signs a one year deal with the Seattle

390
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 2: Seahawks in v or with the Steelers. I should say

391
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: Gay Gainwell goes to the Steelers MVS. Marcus Valdez Scantling

392
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: is going to the Seahawks on a one year deal.

393
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 2: Van Jefferson, I will admit I was once a Van

394
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 2: stand Those days are behind me. But he is signing

395
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 2: a one year deal with the Titans. Trent Sherfield gets

396
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: a two year contract with the Denver Broncos. Jalen Rager,

397
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 2: who will forever be tied to Justin Jefferson in NFL

398
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: draft history, agreed the terms with a on a contract

399
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 2: with the Chargers. Nick Westbrook A Keene goes to the

400
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins. Joey Bosa making it in here in this

401
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: list mostly because he went to the Bills. And I'm

402
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 2: sure if Florida you're the one who put this here

403
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 2: in the rundown I did not, all right, And Mason Rudolph, look,

404
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: I don't have full control over Sometimes I walk away

405
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 2: and things show up in the rundowning.

406
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

407
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 2: Mason Rudolph is coming back to Pittsburgh two year deal

408
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 2: for eight million dollars. So Florio, aside from the Joey

409
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 2: Bosa going to the Bills, anything here that moves the

410
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 2: needle for.

411
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 3: You one and not in the way you would expect.

412
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 3: I'm happy to see Kenneth Gainwell end up on the

413
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 3: Steelers because this was a really interesting week for Jalen

414
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 3: Warren because the Steelers choose to tender him and keep

415
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 3: him there, but they let Najie Harris walk and they

416
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 3: didn't bring in another significant running back like Kenneth Gainwell

417
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 3: is what he is at this point. He's a quality backup,

418
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: but he has to still survive the draft, which is

419
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 3: the hardest, biggest hurdle for incumbent running backs this year.

420
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 3: But Jalen Warren right now, his stock is definitely shooting

421
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 3: up after free agency.

422
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, no, I'm with you because when I first

423
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 2: sawt I was kind of like, oh no, and then

424
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 2: I was like, well maybe not, you know, like maybe

425
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 2: it's just sort of a stop gap sort of measure

426
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: here for the Steelers, and then maybe's still the Jalen

427
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 2: Warren show anything among that group for you, Lakwan, that

428
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 2: was of note.

429
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 4: I'm happy for Van Jefferson because I was a Van

430
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 4: stand but that's for real life football, but for fantasy

431
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 4: I think you can look ever he moistered as like Okay,

432
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 4: you know, like I feel like he thinks he still

433
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 4: has someone to tank, but the Raiders are most likely

434
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 4: going to be like a run first offense. So if

435
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 4: he gets some touches, I'll take a late round stash

436
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 4: start on him. Man, just just being a fan of

437
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 4: what he's done. You know, these last couple of seasons

438
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 4: in Miami, I mean, Raheem must.

439
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 3: Start was a thing. So I do want a quality back.

440
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 3: If he's healthy this season and he gets on a

441
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 3: run first offense, he gets some opportunity.

442
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: Hey why not?

443
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think the Reheem must start days

444
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 2: are probably done.

445
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: But again, all of.

446
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 2: This is pending what else happens between now and say

447
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 2: the start of training camp. I don't see why he

448
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 2: wouldn't get touches over some mere whites. Or is Alexander

449
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: Madison going to come back?

450
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 3: Alexander Madison.

451
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 2: Alexander Madison, I don't know if he's coming back. You know,

452
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 2: we had we had a great couple of weeks with

453
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 2: Sincere McCormick. I mean that was fun, like two weeks.

454
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 2: So he got so, I mean at least right now

455
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 2: where he moster looks like the number one back on

456
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 2: this roster, and then we'll see what the Raiders sort

457
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: of decide to do still a lot of guys hanging

458
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: out there, a lot of notable guys hanging out there.

459
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 2: Decided to comb through Greg Rosenthal's list of the top

460
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 2: one hundred and one free agents, talk about the guys

461
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: that are still available, and hopefully they're still available by

462
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 2: the time you guys listen to this podcast, So this

463
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 2: is all still relevant to take a break, talk about

464
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 2: that coming up.

465
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: Next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show.

466
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 2: So of all the work that we do around here

467
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 2: around free agency, maybe the most valuable piece of content

468
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 2: that comes out every year is Greg Rosenthal's list of

469
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 2: the top one hundred and one free agents. You can

470
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 2: find that on NFL dot com. He lists to them

471
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 2: at the start of the free agency period and it

472
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 2: is updated as guys sign. So decided now that we

473
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 2: are a couple of days into this and we've had

474
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: a lot of movement, to go back through his top

475
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 2: one hundred and one free agents and talk about the

476
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: guys that are still available that are going to be

477
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 2: fantasy relevant.

478
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: There have been some changes.

479
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: I mean, there were three guys that were on the

480
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 2: list yesterday when I built this rundown that I got

481
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: taken off the list because they signed between then and now,

482
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: but still a handful of guys of note here, so

483
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: I want to go through some of them. At number

484
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 2: eleven on Greg's list is Amari Cooper, and I want

485
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 2: to ask you about in Florida because he was with

486
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 2: the Bills last year. It was not a great tenure,

487
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 2: although you know, there's some talk that maybe he was

488
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 2: not one hundred percent healthy. But the history of Amari Cooper,

489
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: both in real football and fantasy football, has been sort

490
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 2: of a boom or bust on, one year off, one

491
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 2: year sort of guy. Obviously, he is on the wrong

492
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 2: side of thirty at this point. He's going to be

493
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 2: thirty one in June. Don't know where he lands. I

494
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 2: don't know if you have a good landing spot for him,

495
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: but it does feel like the days of Amari Cooper

496
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 2: has more than say a third wide receiver in fantasy

497
00:22:58,600 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: are probably over.

498
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that, and I wouldn't be surprised

499
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 3: if he wasn't fully healthy during his I know he

500
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 3: did have a he was dealing with, like a hand

501
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 3: issue that actually caused him to miss some time, but

502
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 3: the usage was really weird throughout the playoffs and everything.

503
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 3: I think the days are gone of him being a

504
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 3: true dominant like ex wide receiver number one in the NFL.

505
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 3: But I still think he's got some good ball left

506
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 3: in him. I think he could be a field stretcher

507
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 3: if nothing else, and a veteran leader, a name that

508
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 3: still demands defensive attention because that's what he did more

509
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 3: than anything for the Bills last year. So I've since

510
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 3: the start before free agency, I've been like, just put

511
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 3: him on the Patriots like they and I know it's

512
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 3: but like they have a good young quarterback a ton

513
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 3: of money, and they really need playmakers around him. The

514
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 3: only reason I could see Amari Cooper being unsigned at

515
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 3: this point is because he's probably asking for more money

516
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 3: than teams. Well, it's not like no team wants to

517
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 3: sign him, it's just probably coming to a financial number

518
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 3: that makes sense for both sides.

519
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 2: I'm imagining now the Patriots like a scalper outside of

520
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 2: a sporting event, like, Hey, anybody want a contract? Any

521
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: wide receivers looking for a contract, contracts contract, need a contract,

522
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 2: and so far no takers.

523
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 5: They almost got Chris Godwin, at least Collins. They almost

524
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 5: got Chris Godwin. If you believe the stories there. I mean,

525
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 5: I don't know if top of your head look on

526
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 5: if you have a good fit for a Mari Cooper,

527
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 5: like I'm scrolling and I don't.

528
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: I don't immediately see for him anywhere.

529
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 4: Set him back to Dallas, send him back to Dallas.

530
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 4: Man him and CD can run it up again and

531
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 4: see what happens. I mean, I just feel like it

532
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 4: is the asking price. He probably wants more than ten,

533
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 4: and we just signed to to at Well for ten.

534
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 4: I don't know if we're gonna get in that ball

535
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 4: range of Amri Cooper right now, who's just been decreasing

536
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 4: in multiple wide receiver categories that matter to show that

537
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 4: he could be productive. So it's like one of those

538
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 4: things that it goes back to Dallas. He could still

539
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 4: be somewhat of a help as a name that you

540
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 4: have to watch on defense, and he knows somewhat of

541
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 4: what they kind of wanted to do over there Dak.

542
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 4: I think he could support. I think, you know, CD

543
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 4: and him could really get it going. But overall, I

544
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 4: don't see a right fit for him, like nail on

545
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 4: the head, like he needs to go there right now.

546
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I guess that's possible. I just wonder

547
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 2: if they would do that after they've already moved on

548
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 2: from Brandon Cook's. Like it just, you know, like I

549
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 2: don't know if they would want to. Yeah, I don't know,

550
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 2: you know, I just I just don't see an easy answer.

551
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 2: I just don't see an easy answer for Amari Cooper,

552
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: And maybe it is money. They just don't seem to

553
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 2: be a lot of obvious fits for him at this point.

554
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs at number twenty seven, who missed a good

555
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: chunk of the season after an injury early on in

556
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 2: the year, now Florida. Rosenthal's suggestion was, maybe Diggs just

557
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: goes back to Houston for another year and they try

558
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 2: to run it back with that group, especially they're trying

559
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 2: to figure out what someone want to thank l But

560
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 2: he does seem like sort of like another one that

561
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 2: really has a no obvious fit. Oh, I think you

562
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 2: mentioned did you mention Dallas was one? If you mentioned

563
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 2: Dallas the other day, that's where I.

564
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 3: Want him to go. Yeah, team up with his brothers,

565
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 3: rehab knee injuries together, exactly the number two for CD.

566
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 3: I don't think Diggs is a number one anymore. I

567
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 3: think he's a number two, and I think he can

568
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 3: win quickly on like short to intermediate routes. He was

569
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 3: already losing his downfield speed his final year as a Bill.

570
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 3: Now he's two years or moves from that and a

571
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 3: knee injury. Like, I still think he could play, but

572
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 3: I think he has to have like kind of a

573
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 3: very defined role and opposite of CD lamb life is

574
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 3: is a lot easier than opposite of a lot of

575
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 3: other wide receivers. So I think that's the spot where

576
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 3: he could go and still succeed.

577
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: That is very true. That is very very true.

578
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think I think Diggs will find

579
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 2: a home. You know, it's just a matter of where

580
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 2: he fits in. I just wonder if, at this point

581
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 2: in his career, if maybe he's gonna sort of, yeah,

582
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 2: tone down the diva thing a little bit, just so

583
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: we can stick somewhere.

584
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: I know, look, I.

585
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 3: Can't quit it or something like that.

586
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: Now, that was the rumor that he was dating Cardi B.

587
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 3: You think his ego is gonna get smaller?

588
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: Good point, very good point.

589
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 2: Number fifty three on Rosenthal's list is Jameis Winston lakwan

590
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 2: hear me out on this What if we send Jameis

591
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 2: Winston to Pittsburgh.

592
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 3: Yes, I love it. I love it. Pittsburgh fans will

593
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 3: not love that. But for fantasy purposes, you need somebody

594
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 3: that's going to be able to handle someone and make

595
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 3: the good spirits in that locker room with the crash bros.

596
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 3: And he he's going to chuck it up to both

597
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 3: of them and they're gonna enjoy it.

598
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 2: That's the part I like is that he's stand back.

599
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 2: You got two guys who can stretch the field. You

600
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 2: want a quarterback who's just gonna throw that yolo ball

601
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 2: and have a short goal old fish memory if things

602
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 2: go bad, Yeah, if that's Jamis, that's Jamus to me.

603
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 3: And then I have two strong personalities in his face

604
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 3: raging red, he's gonna sit there, We're to smile, like, all.

605
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 4: Right, brothers, let's get this going, let's get this together.

606
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 2: Anything, they're gonna rage and be upset, and then Jamis

607
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 2: will say something that's so cosmic and bonkers they'll be

608
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 2: just like what.

609
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: And then here's the whole situation.

610
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 3: I love that he's the highest ranked quarterback on this

611
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 3: still on this list, but there's like zero percent chance

612
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 3: he gets a starting job.

613
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's the thing.

614
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 2: Like, I just don't I don't see him going going

615
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 2: towhere to your starting job.

616
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know.

617
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 2: Maybe depending on what Aaron Rodgers does, Yeah.

618
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: Maybe he ends up going to the other spot.

619
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 2: Right, If Rogers goes to Pittsburgh, then Jamis goes to

620
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: the Giants or vice versa, Like maybe that's a possibility.

621
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 3: I've kind of thought it's like Russ is in that pisode,

622
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 3: like whatever Rogers goes, Russ goes to the other one

623
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 3: is but who knows.

624
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 2: Possible, which is a perfect transition because Russ is at

625
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 2: number fifty six, just a couple spots behind Jamis on

626
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 2: Rosenthal's list. I mean, Floyo, I've been saying that Russ

627
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 2: going back to Pittsburgh makes the most sense. It seems

628
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 2: like the Steelers have just sort of decided that they

629
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 2: have moved on from Russell Wilson. If that's the case,

630
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 2: I just don't know where it is. I mean, the

631
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: Giants seem to be the only other real option out there,

632
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 2: and I.

633
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: Just don't think he's a fit with the Giants.

634
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm becoming more and more convinced that the

635
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 3: Giants are going to be in the quarterback market come

636
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 3: this draft class if they can get one of the

637
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 3: top two. So at that point, what is Russ coming

638
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 3: in to start for a handful of games and then

639
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 3: kind of transition out. So I think he's really hoping

640
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 3: Rogers picks the Giants and he could go back to Pittsburgh.

641
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 3: Because I agree with you, Marcus. Not only do I

642
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 3: think there's a legit debate over which one of those

643
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 3: two quarterbacks are better at this point in their career.

644
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 3: I don't in my opinion, it's not a question of

645
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 3: which one is a better f for that team. Because

646
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson has played with DK Metcalf, he has played

647
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: with George Pickens. He can throw those moonballs down field,

648
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 3: like you were talking about. Both of these guys are

649
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 3: deep ball specialists. Aaron Rodgers. Last year, I believe of

650
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 3: quarterbacks who through fourteen four hundred or passes or more

651
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 3: had the lowest air yards per target. I'm double checking

652
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 3: that real quick. But like, oh he was eighteenth of

653
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 3: the nineteenth sorry, So like he's not airing the ball

654
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 3: out hes all quick slants and stuff, So like it

655
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 3: doesn't fit that skill set. Of the receivers that you

656
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 3: have and one that you just paid a whole bunch

657
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,239
Speaker 3: of money. So I don't really get it.

658
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't. I don't understand. It's just it.

659
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 2: I guess I feel differently if they were roster building differently,

660
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 2: but they have built a roster that seems more suited

661
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 2: to what Russell Wilson does.

662
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: But they don't want Russ.

663
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 4: So I don't really understand my dark horse and all

664
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 4: this is probably the Titans. They need a quarterback, and

665
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 4: we're not hearing much about them taking one off the

666
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 4: board at the number one spot, like we've heard that

667
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 4: they're they're open to move they're open for Carter the

668
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 4: defensive player, and they're open to move down. So it's

669
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 4: like we're not hearing like they're in the race for

670
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 4: a quarterback right now, like of a Kirk Cousins or

671
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson or even Aaron Rodgers. I think, you know, Russell,

672
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 4: that moonball to Calvin Ridley. That's all that Will Levis

673
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 4: and Colm Ridley were able to actually produce and connect on.

674
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 4: So if Russell wants to be like a starter and

675
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 4: not have as much pressure as the New York pressure

676
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 4: or even with DK Metcalf or George Pokin.

677
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 3: Just chill out Tennessee Brown the moon Ball to Calm

678
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 3: Ridley and just hang out. Like I really feel like

679
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 3: it will be a chill metal spot.

680
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 2: Do you want to If you want to be left

681
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 2: to your own devices and you just play football, Tennessee

682
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: is the spot for you.

683
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

684
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: I have been operating like they have kim Ward already.

685
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 3: I could be wrong, but I think they're not being

686
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 3: in the market at all for a quarterbacks because they

687
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 3: already know who their quarterback is going to be.

688
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 2: Maybe as a now, looking at the depth chart on

689
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: our lads, Will Levis is the only quarterback on the roster.

690
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

691
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: That cannot that cannot stand it, just can't you know,

692
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

693
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 2: I mean I've seen a lot of Abdua Carter mock

694
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 2: to the Titans at one. It could also be Look,

695
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 2: I mean, depending on what you want to do, knowing

696
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 2: that there are some quarterback needy teams behind you, you

697
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 2: trade down a couple of spots. Maybe you trade down

698
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 2: with the Giants and you still get your if you

699
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 2: really want Carter trade down with the Giants they take

700
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: a quarterback at one. The Browns take a quarterback at two,

701
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 2: you still get Carter at three.

702
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 3: And then Travis Hunter to the Patriots. I like that scenario.

703
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,719
Speaker 1: We got it all worked out. We have it all

704
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: worked out. Number sixty three on the list.

705
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 3: JK.

706
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: Dobbins coming off of a career year, a career year

707
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: when I think most of us were just hoping, hey,

708
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 2: maybe he can just stay healthy and bet a little

709
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 2: bit productive. Instead, he really was the focal point of

710
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 2: the Chargers running game. Chargers, of course bring in Najee

711
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 2: Harris that lakwans Andy suggests that they are not going

712
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 2: to be back in on JK. Dobbins again for this year.

713
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess anything's possible, but it seems really,

714
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 2: really unlikely. It seems hard for me to find an

715
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: easy landing spot for Dobbins right now, just because the

716
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 2: running back class in this draft is so deep, Like

717
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: it feels like at this point, Yeah, if he doesn't

718
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 2: find a spot in the next day or two that

719
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 2: Dobbins might have to wait till after the draft.

720
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: Before anybody really comes calling.

721
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's definitely a possibility. But I got him pegged

722
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 4: to the Bengals. I think that would be great fit

723
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 4: for him because they're looking for fish and runner, a

724
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 4: hard runner like them going to trade out for Klill

725
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 4: Herbert was very telling of what they honestly think about

726
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 4: Chase Brown. And it's not like a huge knock to

727
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 4: Chase Brown in his ability ways able to do because

728
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 4: he cleaned up that back of the season as like

729
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 4: an RB one. But it's more so the longevity of

730
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 4: this backfield than how the direction of this league is going.

731
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 4: It's going one two punch and they want a guy

732
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 4: that's gonna be like, we could just run him for

733
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 4: let's say, you know, twenty touches and then Brown they

734
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 4: split that up. I really feel as though JK Dowm

735
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 4: still has something in the tank. Thirteen games, nine hundred yards. Man,

736
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 4: if he would have had a full season, we'll be

737
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 4: talking about JK would damn there eleven hundred and twelve

738
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 4: hundred yards and a couple more touchdowns. But I feel

739
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 4: like that one two punch that could definitely work and

740
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 4: the Bengals, it depends on how the draft falls with

741
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 4: some of these deep running backs in this class. Might

742
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 4: have to wait and you know, and see what happens.

743
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, from a fan standpoint, you're

744
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 2: sitting an Ohio state guy back to the State of Ohio,

745
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 2: which you know, whatever it's worth is something notable for sure.

746
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 4: Sign him.

747
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 3: I find a I don't see where JK goes and

748
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 3: he gains fantasy value, Like, yeah, I think last year

749
00:34:58,800 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 3: is going to be his career year.

750
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was kind of that was gonna be my

751
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 2: question to you, Like, it feels like what we saw

752
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 2: last year is sort of the ceiling for JK.

753
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: Dobbins.

754
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 3: Everything broke right for him, like he for the most part,

755
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 3: stayed healthy, even though he did miss some time. There

756
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 3: was literally no running back in that room that they

757
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 3: felt could compete with him, Like Gus Edwards was dust.

758
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 3: They didn't really trust him on Evendell, and then he

759
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 3: was on an offense where he knew the system very

760
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 3: well because he played with the OC before and they

761
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 3: were very run heavy. I just I really this morning

762
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 3: was trying to think about like where he could end

763
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 3: up and I'd feel better about him, and I'm like,

764
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 3: there's literally not a spot I could think of.

765
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm just again, I'm sort of looking

766
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 2: and just trying to game it out, and I'm with you, like,

767
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 2: I just don't see a spot where he goes, because

768
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 2: at this point, I think wherever he goes, at best

769
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 2: he's in a timeshare with somebody else, he's going to

770
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 2: hurt somebody's fantasy value.

771
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, that's kind of the reality.

772
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm like so looking last year had

773
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: one hundred and ninety five carries understanding that you know,

774
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 2: he was brought in to sort of split with Gus Edwards.

775
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: He missed four games with injury.

776
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 2: You know, I think I think one hundred and fifty

777
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty carries probably the ceiling for him at

778
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 2: this point, depending on where he goes, you know, and

779
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 2: he's gonna have to split time.

780
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: With with whoever it is.

781
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, I know, we're seeing teams pay more and more

782
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 3: running backs, and good for them, but like, this is

783
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 3: the worst scenario for Dobbins because he's not one of

784
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 3: the elite running backs and it's a very deep running

785
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 3: back class. So like you could be like, do I

786
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 3: want to pay this this guy who's missed a lot

787
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 3: of time big money, or do I just draft a

788
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 3: running back in the fourth round?

789
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 1: Right?

790
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 2: I know, again, that's that's what I'm saying, Like, if

791
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 2: it doesn't happen the next day or two.

792
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: Like, I just don't know that JK.

793
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 2: Dobbins gets a call until after the draft, and seems

794
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 2: are sort of looking at their running back rooms and

795
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 2: trying to figure out where.

796
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: To fill in the gaps.

797
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 2: Elijah More number eighty on the list, I mean, Florida.

798
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say about Elijah Moore anymore.

799
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 2: You know, it didn't happen with the Jets, didn't really

800
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 2: happen with the Browns. You know. Again, He's another one

801
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 2: who I think at this point is probably gonna just

802
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 2: sit out on the open market for a while. And

803
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 2: I don't know that he's gonna be anything more.

804
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,919
Speaker 1: Like I don't know that he has fantasy relevance really

805
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: at this point, does he.

806
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 3: I mean, he struggled to find that really last year

807
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,919
Speaker 3: on a Brown team that was kind of until Jerry

808
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 3: Judy's breakout with Jameis Winston, like they were searching for

809
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 3: production at receiver. And I don't know, We've seen four

810
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 3: years of Elijah Moore, his nine career touchdowns, He's never

811
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 3: reached seven hundred yards. At some point, you just got

812
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 3: to say, this is who that guy is, Like an

813
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 3: NFL contributor for sure, like he belongs on a fifty

814
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 3: three man roster but doesn't belong on a twelve team

815
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 3: fantasy football I do have one, Like Greg Rosenthal is

816
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 3: so much smarter than me, But I do not understand

817
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 3: in what world Elijah Moore.

818
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 2: Is ranked higher than the next wide receiver. Yeah, I

819
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 2: don't get No, I'm I'm with you on that too.

820
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 2: I am absolutely with you on that one. And maybe

821
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 2: one day we can ask Greg about it too. He

822
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 2: can give us, you know, his his rationale for it

823
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 2: is age.

824
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 3: The reason i'bout to say he's twenty four. I mean

825
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 3: that probably makes a little sense there, I guess yo.

826
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 2: I will say I remember for at least a week

827
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 2: or two in twenty twenty three getting sucked into everyone.

828
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 2: Joe Flakout took over as a quarterback at Browns and

829
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 2: he's like talking up Elijah Moore and how they played

830
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 2: together with the chests and like he was hyping him up,

831
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 2: and like I did sort of buy into that for

832
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 2: like a couple of weeks, and then like after two

833
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 2: weeks as a parent that like, no, it's this is

834
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 2: like I think I feel like after that happened, Moore's

835
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 2: snap percentage went.

836
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: Down like in back to back weeks.

837
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, this is obviously not at this point,

838
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 2: all right, enough with the suspense, Elijah Moore is at

839
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 2: number eighty the guy a number eighty three. He is

840
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,919
Speaker 2: Keenan Allen. Now Lakwan. Granted it was not the best

841
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 2: season for Allen last year. The Bears offense did not

842
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 2: turned out to be as explosive as we hoped it

843
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 2: would be. Allen with seventy catches seven hundred and forty

844
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 2: four yards. He didn't have seven touchdowns, so that was

845
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 2: not a terrible number for him. You know, he's thirty

846
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 2: two years old. He's going to be thirty three coming

847
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 2: up at the end of April. And I think it's

848
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 2: Florio's point. You know, look, he's not what he was.

849
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 2: He can definitely still be a big contributor for a

850
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 2: real NFL team. How much of a contributor can he

851
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 2: be for a fantasy team?

852
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 4: Though it's a gamble, and it's more so the landing

853
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 4: spot if anybody has interest. I mean the Seahawks, they

854
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 4: have open doors for wide receiver weapons and name you know,

855
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,439
Speaker 4: threatening for defenses. I think him and JSN could probably work.

856
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 4: I mean the Bears. I honestly think you give it

857
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 4: a shot with Ben Johnson. I think Ben Johnson would

858
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 4: love to have Kenan Allen, you know, work that slot,

859
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 4: that work worked the middle of the field and kind

860
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 4: of like try to mirror with the Lion's offense ask

861
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 4: or bring him to La to the Rams. I really

862
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 4: feel as though you have to worry about that.

863
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 3: How many receivers do you need? All we need to

864
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 3: get back baby. But no, if Keenan Allen, if he

865
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 3: if he has.

866
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 4: Anything that you know has to offer for fantasy, it's

867
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 4: probably like a wide receiver three flex, you know, like

868
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 4: it's one of those things that you won't be taking

869
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 4: them off the board with high expectations as he's your

870
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 4: wide receiver one or like your wide receiver two that

871
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 4: can get tribute every single week. It's really going to

872
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,959
Speaker 4: come down to who's the quarterback throwing him the ball

873
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 4: and what the system and play call is going to

874
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 4: look like for him. Because he can still get open,

875
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 4: he could still be a reliable wide receiver catch the ball,

876
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 4: play outside as well. It's more so what does the

877
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,760
Speaker 4: environment look for him to actually produce for fantasy.

878
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 2: Keenan Allen feels like one of those guys where, like

879
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 2: you know, the Sharps, the early drafters are probably going

880
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 2: to avoid him for the most part, but he'll be

881
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 2: that guy that in the middle to late part of drafts,

882
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 2: when you get more of the you know, more of

883
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 2: gen pop drafting, they're looking to be. Oh, Keenan Allen,

884
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 2: you know, I know that guy. I remember that guy.

885
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 2: He's been good for me for a while. Like he'll

886
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 2: he'll get pulled his ADP will get pulled up when

887
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 2: we get to like August. Because a lot of people

888
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 2: you know who, yeah whatever, they have lives. Shout out

889
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 2: to them who are doing this oh year long. Uh,

890
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 2: you know, they don't necessarily are paying attention to him,

891
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 2: maybe being in decline or being uh a little bit

892
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 2: older in his career.

893
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: They will draft him because of that. But a lot

894
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: of us.

895
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 3: It's worth noting though, that his situation was a huge decline.

896
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 3: I mean, going from justin Herbert to you know what

897
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 3: behind the ears Kayla Williams without no line and a

898
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 3: terrible play calling system. So it's like true, it wasn't

899
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 3: exactly only him, you know, Yeah, no, for sure, I

900
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 3: want him in Carolina, because I think he could be

901
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 3: better than that, Like he needs a lot of volume.

902
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 3: But we've seen Adam Feeling each of the last couple

903
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 3: of years put up like six week stretches where he's

904
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 3: a wide receiver. One Keenan Allen could could still do that. Like,

905
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 3: so Bryce Young needs some help.

906
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 2: In my head, like my first thought was, hey, you

907
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: can go to Carolina, And then it was like, are

908
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 2: we gonna do that again? Are we gonna send another

909
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 2: aging veteran to Bryce Young to like you know.

910
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 3: It worked with Deonta until it didn't.

911
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: It worked for for what like.

912
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 2: Three weeks, Like it didn't last very long with Deontay Johnson. Right,

913
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 2: It's like it's like you have, like, you know, two

914
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 2: friends and like they're the only people you know who

915
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 2: like anime, and you're like, hey, we should match them

916
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 2: up and have them go out on a date, like right,

917
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 2: Like they may have nothing else in common, but they

918
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 2: both like anime. So like it's just like hey, man,

919
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 2: like here's a veteran receiver who's like a free agent,

920
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 2: Like we should send him to Carolina and let him

921
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 2: work with Bryce Young.

922
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, let's give Bryce something. And I like Keenan Allen.

923
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 2: But let's let's let Bryce Young have a guy he

924
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 2: could grow with instead of some handholder.

925
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 3: Look, I think you draft a receiver and you bring

926
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 3: Keenan in to be like the veterans slot guy that

927
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 3: the security blanket. Like, yeah, I do want to point

928
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 3: out those I'm not letting this go.

929
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 5: Uh.

930
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 3: Keenan Allen had more yards last year than any season

931
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 3: of Elijah Moore's career, and he had two fewer touchdowns

932
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,280
Speaker 3: last season alone than Elijah Moore's had in his career.

933
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 2: I'm guessing it's an age thing. That's all it has

934
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 2: to be. It's got to be an age thing.

935
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: That's all.

936
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 2: Number one on one on the top one hundred and

937
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 2: one free agents for Greg Rosenthal is Nick Chubb.

938
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna throw this out to both you.

939
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I know we all would like from a

940
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 2: football standpoint to see Nick Chubb be successful after having

941
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 2: a couple of really serious injuries. But are either one

942
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 2: of you drafting Nick Chubb regardless of where he goes

943
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 2: this year?

944
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 4: Absolutely not.

945
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: I was out last year, like damn, now it's over.

946
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 3: I do think he should re signed with the brown

947
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 3: sill like he's one of those players that should get

948
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 3: to go out with the team that he's been so

949
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 3: loyal to his whole career. Like, I don't want to

950
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 3: see him throw on another jersey and struggle, and then

951
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 3: like ten years from now, we're like, remember what Nick

952
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 3: Chubb was a Patriot or something.

953
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,760
Speaker 2: Like that, we start doing those like weird jerseys things

954
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 2: like on social media, like posting up like yeah.

955
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 3: Like Maddy Ramirez on the Rays and then Nick Chubb

956
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 3: on like.

957
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: Keim Elijah Wan with the Raptors, Like what what is this?

958
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:27,919
Speaker 1: Yeah on the Jaguars. Yeah, I mean look Tory Hole

959
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: on the Jaguarks.

960
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 2: I mean, Jerry Rice in a Broncos uniform just will

961
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 2: never sit right with me.

962
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah, they'll do it.

963
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

964
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:39,479
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, that part.

965
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 2: But on the one hand, like, wouldn't it be cool

966
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 2: to see Nick Chubb go somewhere and like be with

967
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 2: a contender, even if he's just like a you know,

968
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 2: reserve backup piece, Like hey, let him Jeeves.

969
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 3: I feel like.

970
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 2: That's the easy.

971
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 1: Let him Henry, Yeah, Baltimore, Chubb deserves happiness too. Then

972
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: I could make.

973
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 3: More jokes about how much help Lamar Jackson needs. You

974
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 3: mean the Chargers, right, the LA Chargers, I said la,

975
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,720
Speaker 3: I didn't I didn't say which one.

976
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 1: Need the LA Chargers? You know here horring players like Pokemon, man,

977
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: like what are you doing?

978
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 3: Not even good players? Like he just wants names.

979
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: Gotta sign them all, Like you know what he's doing, man.

980
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 3: Any player that's closer to retirement. Lakwan's like come home

981
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 3: going in. Yeah, I had to take though for Elijah

982
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 3: Moore to be a RAM And I'm like, look, we

983
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 3: need a slot guy, man, I'm willing to take whoever

984
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:33,479
Speaker 3: on this list.

985
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: Man, now, let Devance play the slot.

986
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 2: You're all excited about to to Well, you wanted Greg Dorts, Like,

987
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 2: have Greg Dors be your slot guy?

988
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 3: He is held captive in Arizona right now.

989
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 1: I don't know how do.

990
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 3: You feel about Elijah Moore making this list? But Greg

991
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 3: Dorts not very But I'm pretty sure like half the

992
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 3: people in the building don't even know who Greg Dortch is,

993
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 3: so it's all right.

994
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: But Greg Rosenthal knows who Greg Dortch is.

995
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 3: Yes, but he's not worthy of the one on one.

996
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 3: He's at one O two, He's on the next version.

997
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna got he's probably not at one

998
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 2: o two either, but if that helps you sleep at night,

999
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 2: then that's what we'll go for.

1000
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 3: You Shaid sweet him and be like, yo, where what

1001
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 3: does Greg georch have to do to make your top

1002
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 3: one on one?

1003
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 1: I'll do it. Good luck to you, sir.

1004
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 2: We're not done yet. We're gonna talk about some winners

1005
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 2: and losers coming up after the break. Stick around for

1006
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 2: more of the NFL Fantasy Football Show. So obviously there

1007
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 2: are still guys to be signed. We just went through

1008
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 2: a whole big list of them. One guy that I

1009
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 2: failed to mention earlier in the show, Kyle Shanahan finally

1010
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 2: gets Mac Jones Jones signing with the San Francisco forty

1011
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 2: nine ers. Apparently, the Niners and Kyle Shanahan they're just

1012
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 2: sort of like a rehab for for broken quarterbacks. You know,

1013
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 2: like your reputation is sort of battered, your performance has

1014
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,839
Speaker 2: not been great. Come on down to Kyle's house, quarterbacks,

1015
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 2: We get y'all fixed up. We'll get you all sision

1016
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 2: back out in the wild. You know.

1017
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: It's like the you know, the SPCA for quarterbacks or something.

1018
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 2: We're just gonna like get you all patched up and

1019
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:10,479
Speaker 2: we're to send you back out there again.

1020
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 3: So you know, the Niners and Vikings, that's that's what

1021
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 3: they've become. And Sean McVay could be that, but instead

1022
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 3: he's just like, I'm cool with Jimmy G for the

1023
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:21,800
Speaker 3: rest of time.

1024
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 2: I think. I think Sean McVay has sort of painted

1025
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 2: himself into a corner because he got Jimmy and he's like, oh.

1026
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 4: He must be good at having conversation with Sean, because

1027
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 4: I just don't get it.

1028
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 2: Hey, for how much money do you need? Manams posted

1029
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 2: like a video being like he's back and it was

1030
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 2: Jimmy G and I legit started laughing at it.

1031
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: No, I'm better or worse than the Bills. Nathan Peterman

1032
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:50,479
Speaker 1: QB one video work.

1033
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 2: I mean better that.

1034
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 3: That's the worst quarterback video. I mean they in the

1035
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 3: middle of a playoff race started him and he threw

1036
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 3: six interceptions. What are we doing?

1037
00:47:58,400 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: Let's talk some wayers and losers.

1038
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 2: Though, so far in free agency, la quantitybody that jumps

1039
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 2: out to you is a big winner and or a

1040
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 2: big loser. So far for the first couple of days.

1041
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 3: Winner for me is Baker Mayfield.

1042
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 4: You get Chris Godwin, back the familiarity and it puts

1043
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 4: him back in that top ten fantasy conversation. And I

1044
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 4: definitely think, you know, Baker Mayfield is probably as happy

1045
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 4: as I am, you know, with my Chris Godwin shares

1046
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 4: and my Baker shares as well. Like I'm looking at

1047
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 4: it like, oh well we're back, you know, even with

1048
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,840
Speaker 4: or without Liam Cohen. I think Baker balldal and stepped

1049
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 4: up to the play and having all his weapons ascendled assembled,

1050
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 4: it is going to be very important.

1051
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. I actually I think you're right though, because everything

1052
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 2: they keep the band back together, right the Bucks. The

1053
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 2: Bucks are going to ride with Mike Evans and Chris

1054
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 2: Godwin pretty much until the wheels fall.

1055
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: Off, which in terrible, man.

1056
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 2: I mean, we've seen what they've been able to do

1057
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 2: the last few years, so why not sort of keep

1058
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 2: that thing together.

1059
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: Any big winners or losers for you, Florio, I.

1060
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 3: Know it feels kind of repetitive because these moves happened

1061
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 3: like right away, but I think Justin Fields, DeVante ad

1062
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,760
Speaker 3: naj Harris to me or the three players who gained

1063
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 3: the most fantasy value this week from free agency, and

1064
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 3: I think the biggest loser is Sam Donald. Yes, Yeah,

1065
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 3: you go from Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, TJ. Hockinson, and

1066
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell's play calling system to Clink Kubiak, who's a

1067
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 3: solid OC. But then like Jameson is awesome, but then

1068
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 3: your wide receiver two is mvs. Your tight end is

1069
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 3: Noah Fan, your on line has questions like it. I

1070
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 3: don't think Sam Donald is going to be able to

1071
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:32,919
Speaker 3: repeat the fantasy success he had last year.

1072
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Donald was gonna be my guy, was my immediate

1073
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 2: answer for the guy who really takes the biggest hit.

1074
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 2: I think is just going to Seattle just does not

1075
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 2: work out for him. And I'll say this, I think

1076
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 2: I think Jsen sort of fits into both winner and

1077
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 2: loser categories because he definitely gets an upgrade in target

1078
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 2: share with both Tyler Lockett and DK metcalf gone. But

1079
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 2: you know, I think we can debate whether or not

1080
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 2: Sam Donald is a better quarterback option than what he's

1081
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 2: had the last year or two with Geno Smith. So

1082
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 2: I think Gino's better, you know, I think in one

1083
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 2: respect he definitely gains. In another respect, Yeah, just I

1084
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know that it really improves his

1085
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 2: standing a whole lot. So, yeah, that was that one

1086
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 2: was sort of weird to me.

1087
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 4: It is definitely debatable, but like Florio was saying, like

1088
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 4: I think Gino might be better in the situation, Like

1089
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 4: I rather had stuck with Gino, didn't get Samon because

1090
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 4: Sam is coming from the Vikings when we saw how

1091
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 4: he finished, and he's also in the division with the

1092
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 4: Rams twice a year every year, and the Carlins defense

1093
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 4: gut a little bit stronger, and it's like it's not

1094
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 4: going to be a fun time for him to be

1095
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 4: in that division with the guys that he has around him.

1096
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will also say I think Dk Metcalf loses

1097
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 2: in this whole two going to Pittsburgh and well just

1098
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 2: because one they haven't decided on a quarterback yet, but

1099
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,879
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem like it's going to be a guy

1100
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 2: that plays to Metcalf's strengths, right, especially if they really

1101
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 2: are courting number twelve, that it's just not gonna really

1102
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 2: work out for him. But also let's keep in mind

1103
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 2: he's going to Pittsburgh with Arthur Smith, who wants to

1104
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 2: run the football. You know, they've got Jalen Warren there.

1105
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:14,919
Speaker 2: They bring in Kenneth Gain Well, we'll see how big

1106
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 2: his opportunity is. But it's just not going to be

1107
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 2: the same kind of offense that he's been in the

1108
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 2: last couple of years in Seattle. I think, you know,

1109
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 2: I think for a lot of us who've sort of

1110
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 2: been on the fence about DK Metcalf, I think this

1111
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 2: is an easy reason to knock him down your rankings

1112
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 2: and your draft board a little bit because it's just

1113
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 2: not gonna be the same.

1114
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 3: And him and George Pickens are that they're like the

1115
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 3: same player kind of.

1116
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think DK metcalf is a severate employee,

1117
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 2: but I do think that they stylistically do have a

1118
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 2: lot in common. So but you know, look, still things

1119
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 2: to be seen, still moves to be made. I'm going

1120
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 2: through my timeline again, and I think we can say

1121
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 2: we are marked from Aaron Rodgers signing in the middle

1122
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 2: of our show.

1123
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: So we should probably end it right here.

1124
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 2: We should end it right here before it happens and

1125
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 2: you know, and be done with it. So back with

1126
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 2: you on Tuesday again. We should probably do a mock

1127
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 2: draft sometimes soon do another mock draft. See how things do,

1128
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 2: see how things have changed now that free agency is

1129
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 2: in full swing. I'm sure there have been some movements

1130
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 2: when it comes to ADP. So maybe next week we'll

1131
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 2: do another mock draft that we can kind of talk

1132
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 2: about a little bit. Compare contrast from the first one

1133
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 2: we did about a month ago. They meantime, that'll do

1134
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 2: it for this edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast.

1135
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:38,760
Speaker 2: They happy, safe and healthy, do good and live well,

1136
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 2: enjoy what's left the free agency. Don't let forty one

1137
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 2: year old quarterback hold you hostage this weekend, and I

1138
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 2: we'll talk to you again real soon.

1139
00:52:46,400 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 1: Wow, don't
