Speaker 1: is all right with Greggy down in Florida, but he's
Speaker 1: out celebrating his bachelor party. Today. On the show, we
Speaker 1: will be previewing the Buffalo Bills and the New York
Speaker 1: Jets from a fantasy football perspective. An hour two, we

Speaker 1: I must be joined by somebody. It's matt Modica Modica
Speaker 1: Thursdays here on the show. What's going on? Mattie mo
Speaker 1: Happy Thursday. Mr Susman's enjoying himself. I can only imagine
Speaker 1: what Susmania is up to. A lot of lounging. We've

Speaker 1: loves days Matt Dave Matthews Band, So look, that might
Speaker 1: be someone's cup of tea in terms of there you go.
Speaker 1: There's some previous footage that we've had of him in Florida,
Speaker 1: but certainly not mine. So hope Greg is enjoying the
Speaker 1: bachelor party there. Mattiemo, are you Are you a Dave
Speaker 1: Matthews Band kind of guy? Ah Ball admit to when
Speaker 1: I was younger, I did like some I have not
Speaker 1: listened in probably the list twenty years though, my man,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for for confirming that. That means
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a great show. We're gonna have a
Speaker 1: great show today. As I meant you, we're gonna be
Speaker 1: previewing the Bills and the Jets. It's pretty funny because
Speaker 1: me the Jets fan, I had to get a fellow
Speaker 1: Bills fan on the show Florial Friday, that's tomorrow, So
Speaker 1: Mike just misses out on one day talking about his bills.
Speaker 1: But uh, I had to bring in a Buffalo Bills
Speaker 1: specialist here to help me preview them. Matt overall, how
Speaker 1: do you feel about the Buffalo Bills heading into the season. Look,
Speaker 1: we know the New England Patriots are still gonna rule
Speaker 1: the a f C East, But overall, what's your feel
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills heading into the season. Uh, let's
Speaker 1: say that I'm cautiously optimistic. Um. Look, I don't really
Speaker 1: see them winning more than eight games. I think that's
Speaker 1: the benchmark, which is unfortunate. And until Brady and Belichick retire, Uh,
Speaker 1: I don't share anything changing in the a f C East.
Speaker 1: I think as far as real NFL versus fantasy, I'll
Speaker 1: probably enjoy watching the Bills more than having their players
Speaker 1: on my team. That's probably fair to say. And I
Speaker 1: think even from a fantasy perspective, like it might be
Speaker 1: ugly at times this year with Josh Allen, but we've
Speaker 1: all we all saw what he could do with his
Speaker 1: legs last season. We're gonna talk about more about that
Speaker 1: when we come back from the break here on the show.
Speaker 1: I also thought it was interesting, you know, I was.
Speaker 1: I was texting Maddie Moo last night about this. I
Speaker 1: don't know that there's anybody who understands this more than you.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of people that are dual
Speaker 1: fantasy sport athletes. I guess you could call them or analysts,
Speaker 1: but um, we're still writing the thick of fantasy baseball
Speaker 1: season and we're all starting to do our fantasy football research. Matt,
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you handle the grind? It's just
Speaker 1: it's tough, man, because I don't want to let anything
Speaker 1: slip through the cracks when it comes to baseball, and obviously,
Speaker 1: you know we're competing in high takes leagues against each
Speaker 1: other in the NNPC the main event. We have other
Speaker 1: industry leagues that we're taking part of as well. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's really tough to balance this time of year. How
Speaker 1: do you how do you normally handle it? Well that
Speaker 1: that's correct, as this is where fantasy Baseball championships are
Speaker 1: one over the next two months in August and September.
Speaker 1: But what I try and do is just stay focused
Speaker 1: on the NFL season year long. You know, my commitments
Speaker 1: to baseball when we're doing the draft season and all that.
Speaker 1: But once the NFL Draft approaches, you have to be
Speaker 1: tuned in. I think most people are. And look, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying you're heavily invested, but you are paying attention.
Speaker 1: You're seeing who the new coaches are, uh, the new
Speaker 1: schemes that maybe run, the free agent acquisitions, the draft picks,
Speaker 1: and how that's gonna comb culminate and affect such teams.
Speaker 1: But right now I'm kind of breaking my days down
Speaker 1: between baseball and football. Yeah, I mean, that's what we're
Speaker 1: all trying to do here. You know, if you follow
Speaker 1: me on Twitter at to wander score Frank. I mean,
Speaker 1: last night I went through a barrage of baseball tweets
Speaker 1: and then I threw out a few Patriots tweets in there.
Speaker 1: Some Sony Michelle Julian Edelman. We were talking about them
Speaker 1: yesterday on the show. So yeah, I've got both going
Speaker 1: on right now as well, between baseball and football. Gonna
Speaker 1: completely switch gears here for a second. Maddie Moo, are
Speaker 1: you a fan of the IT series, because they just
Speaker 1: released the the latest trailer for the chapter two of
Speaker 1: the IT movies and it looks amazing. I did you
Speaker 1: the first one I showed the cable. I liked it.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not really big I'm not really a
Speaker 1: big horror guy, but I thought it was pretty cool something,
Speaker 1: you know. I like the storyline on it. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I'm going to the movies to see it,
Speaker 1: but I'll probably watching when it comes on cable. So
Speaker 1: what is uh? What? What's the idea movie that Maddie
Speaker 1: mos kicking his feet up and watching? Is that like
Speaker 1: a like a Mafio so kind of movie? What? What? What?
Speaker 1: What do you got? Matt? I kind of like like, um, so,
Speaker 1: you know, Godfather, If you're going to have direction goods,
Speaker 1: obviously I'll play the stereo type there, but totty much
Speaker 1: real life drama, you know, stuff like that. Look. I
Speaker 1: like a good blockbuster every now and then. I think
Speaker 1: the c g I has gotten a little too out
Speaker 1: of control. But I'm looking forward to seeing, Uh, what's
Speaker 1: the movie Quentin Tarantino is dropping under the month? I
Speaker 1: remember forward to that one. Yeah, I saw that He's
Speaker 1: coming out with a new movie. Is that one with
Speaker 1: uh Leonardo in it? Oh? Yeah, Leonardo? Uh Brad Pitch
Speaker 1: in it. It looks upon a time in Hollywood. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Margolo Robbie, who's you know, one of my favorites. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it does look pretty interesting. I saw that too. I
Speaker 1: went to the movies recently. What do I go see?
Speaker 1: Oh Midsummer very very weird movie, very weird movie. Admittedly
Speaker 1: that was that was one where I just kind of
Speaker 1: gave into the fiance and I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll go watch this very very weird movie. But I
Speaker 1: did see the preview four Once upon a Time in Hollywood.
Speaker 1: It looks pretty good. Can't complaine when it comes to
Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino. You know, his movies are all over the place.
Speaker 1: But as I mentioned, look, we have some bills talk
Speaker 1: coming up. We have the New York Jets coming up
Speaker 1: as well. Here on the show mentioned you know, Manimo
Speaker 1: mentioned that, you know, we're looking at what teams are
Speaker 1: doing in the all season in terms of bringing in coaches. Now,
Speaker 1: they didn't really change anything coaching wise, but they brought
Speaker 1: in a ton of free agents here in terms of
Speaker 1: John Brown and Cole Beasley. So we're gonna break all
Speaker 1: that down. We're gonna break down their pass catchers, the quarterback,
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, the Shaw McCoy, the running backs, all that
Speaker 1: coming up next BFFs here on the Fantasy Sports Network. Hey,

Speaker 1: All right, Welcome back to the BFFs Frank Stanford joined
Speaker 1: by Matt Modica of The Athletic. Make sure you follow
Speaker 1: on Twitter at CTM Baseball that Modica will be writing
Speaker 1: a weekly stat centric fantasy football article with The Athletic
Speaker 1: this season, so make sure you stay tuned for that.
Speaker 1: Keep your eyes peeled and ready once Matt Modica starts. Matt,
Speaker 1: did you start writing any football yet? Or is that
Speaker 1: an in season thing that you're doing now that should
Speaker 1: be happening next month? All right, so starting next month August,
Speaker 1: get ready for that. Make sure you're looking out for
Speaker 1: Matt Modicas. It's gonna gonna be a stat centric article
Speaker 1: with the Athletic regarding fantasy football. Let's jump right into
Speaker 1: the bells. I had to do that in my gay
Speaker 1: mourency impression. I think kids actually downstairs. I probably should
Speaker 1: have just invited him up here and have him ramble
Speaker 1: for an hour about the Buffalo Bills as well. But
Speaker 1: what I mentioned before the break was the key auditions
Speaker 1: here for the Buffalo Bills Cole Beasley. They bring in
Speaker 1: Frank Gore as well. They bring in some off to lineman.
Speaker 1: They get a new center with Mitch Moore's They also
Speaker 1: draft Cody Ford in the second round. Nice little draft
Speaker 1: deal there, so the offensive line should be improved. As
Speaker 1: of now, they are ranked nineteen by Pro Football Focus.
Speaker 1: I want to start off with the quarterback position here,
Speaker 1: Matt Modica and Josh Allen. We can all agree that
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has a lot of things that he needs
Speaker 1: to work on from a pure quarterback perspective in the NFL.
Speaker 1: We know that he has a canon for an arm,
Speaker 1: but he does have accuracy issues. Um, he wants to
Speaker 1: throw the ball down the field, but he also has
Speaker 1: accuracy issues and that part he can. Honestly, if if
Speaker 1: this guy was playing for the Chiefs, that would be
Speaker 1: fun to watch just throw it up to Tyreek Hill NonStop.
Speaker 1: But as I mentioned, uh, they have surrounded him with
Speaker 1: some weapons here. You know, they have Robert Foster from
Speaker 1: last year who was a I think an adequate deep threat.
Speaker 1: They bring in John Brown, who has experienced at the
Speaker 1: NFL level as a deep threat as well, they bring
Speaker 1: in Cole Beasley as a safety blanket, and they still
Speaker 1: do have Zay Jones on this raw Suster, Matt, how
Speaker 1: do you how are you viewing Josh Allen right now?
Speaker 1: Because I was talking to a few of the guys
Speaker 1: downstairs in the pit earlier, and I'm looking at my
Speaker 1: quarterback rankings and I have Josh Allen ranked higher than
Speaker 1: some legitimate quarterbacks in the NFL. And I think sometimes
Speaker 1: it's hard for fantasy owners to separate real life NFL
Speaker 1: quarterback play from fantasy quarterback play. And what I mean
Speaker 1: by that is Drew Brees is not the fantasy quarterback
Speaker 1: that he once was. I truly believe that. I think
Speaker 1: the Saints have proven over the past couple of years
Speaker 1: they want to play better defense and they want to
Speaker 1: run the football. Tom Brady, I think you could say
Speaker 1: a similar thing for the New England Patriots. And while
Speaker 1: we're on the topic, Russell Wilson, I mean Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: didn't run as much last year. He saw a career
Speaker 1: low and pass attempts, And to me, Josh Allen is
Speaker 1: nowhere near the quarterbacks that those guys are at the
Speaker 1: NFL level, But what he can do on the ground
Speaker 1: makes him very, very intriguing from a fantasy perspective. Matt,
Speaker 1: what do you think about Josh Allen. Oh No, he's
Speaker 1: He's absolutely intriguing as a fantasy quarterback. The thing is,
Speaker 1: I mean he's not a top twelve for me. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be honest. Is he a top fifteen quarterback? You're
Speaker 1: basically betting on his legs and not his own. Now,
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, they brought in John Brown, who I like.
Speaker 1: I like John Brown. He's had health issues which has
Speaker 1: been unfortunate in the past, but I believe a stat.
Speaker 1: I think he was fifth in fantasy points per touch
Speaker 1: among wild receivers according to Pro Football Focus last year,
Speaker 1: which is uh a stat I do like to look at.
Speaker 1: But I wish he was the Bill's number two wide receiver,
Speaker 1: not the number one that is gonna be coming into
Speaker 1: So when I look at Alan, yes, Beasley is a
Speaker 1: safety blanket, but I mean Cole Beasley is why fifty
Speaker 1: receptions maybe five yards? You know, that's like the high
Speaker 1: end of his output that you're looking at. Robert Forster
Speaker 1: is the intriguing one here as a lottery pick or
Speaker 1: a guy that could be a waiver wire boom for
Speaker 1: the fact that he does stretch the field. And Alan's
Speaker 1: best attribute is throwing the ball deep. He's a much
Speaker 1: better deep throw than he is he really has. He
Speaker 1: really struggles throwing the past that every NFL quarterback needs
Speaker 1: to be able to make the short intermediate passes. And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm hoping that, you know, we see the maturation.
Speaker 1: But my main question would do you have him for
Speaker 1: over under six hundred yards? Is he gonna rush for
Speaker 1: more six or more touchdowns? When these are questions you
Speaker 1: have to ask yourself, Yeah, that's going to be how
Speaker 1: ultimately he returns. His fantasy value is on the ground
Speaker 1: and the ability to you know, rush for over six
Speaker 1: hundred yards like Matt mentioned, and you know, if he
Speaker 1: can add five six touchdowns on the ground. I just
Speaker 1: think the way that I watched him play was last season.
Speaker 1: He has to get better at going through his aggressions.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no doubt about that. But if his
Speaker 1: first read was covered most of the time, he was
Speaker 1: just taking off and running and he was making plays
Speaker 1: with his legs and he was making awesome plays at that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know everyone's going to remember this play
Speaker 1: from last year against Minnesota Vikings where he legitimately hurdled
Speaker 1: a defender that was coming at him. Like these are
Speaker 1: things that Alvin Kamara does like the most frequently athletic
Speaker 1: running backs in the league. Josh Allen did that last year.
Speaker 1: So the athleticism is real for him. There's no doubt
Speaker 1: that he has to get better in terms of going
Speaker 1: through his progressions and you know, not panicking and standing
Speaker 1: up right in the pocket. A lot of that comes
Speaker 1: out to his offensive line, which I do think will
Speaker 1: be improved this year for the Buffalo Bills. But we
Speaker 1: did see some progress last year. The offense under Brian
Speaker 1: Dable got off to a really really slow start. They
Speaker 1: average just ten points seven points per game and two
Speaker 1: hundred eighty eight yards per game in there in their
Speaker 1: in their first ten games of the season, first nine
Speaker 1: games this season their final seven games, those numbers went
Speaker 1: out to twenty four points, seven points and three hundred
Speaker 1: sixty three yards per game. And I got these stats
Speaker 1: of per Sports illustrated in eighteen, Josh Allen average ten
Speaker 1: point nine nine air yards per attempt that was top
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Alan had a deep pass rate to
Speaker 1: find as passes that traveled more than fifteen yards in
Speaker 1: the air percent of the time. That also led the NFL.
Speaker 1: So that just kind of works itself back into what
Speaker 1: we said. This guy wants to throw the ball deep
Speaker 1: and if it's not open right away, he's probably gonna
Speaker 1: take off and make plays with his legs. As you mentioned,
Speaker 1: and as you know, we're gonna continue to talk about
Speaker 1: here with the pass catchers, they tried to get Antonio Brown,
Speaker 1: Like we all remember it. It was that late breaking
Speaker 1: news on like a Thursday night. We're all tweeting freaking
Speaker 1: out Antonio Brown. You know. Uh. He rebutted that very
Speaker 1: quickly on Instagram. He said, no, I'm not going to Buffalo,
Speaker 1: just straight up, I'm not going to Buffalo. I remember
Speaker 1: when Jordan Matthews was in Buffalo. He said, look, there's
Speaker 1: nothing to do there except make babies. So I guess
Speaker 1: that's why Antonio Brown didn't want to come. But they
Speaker 1: tried this Buffalo for office. They tried and Ultimate Lee.
Speaker 1: I think that they surrounded Josh Allen with you're right, Matt,
Speaker 1: they don't have a number one wide receiver per se.
Speaker 1: But they have a lot of guys that can do
Speaker 1: things that are good for Josh Allen skill set. Like
Speaker 1: when you have Robert Foster and John Brown on the outside,
Speaker 1: those are two legitimate deep threats that can take the
Speaker 1: top off of defense. And when it comes to Cole Beasley,
Speaker 1: while he's not gonna be a world beater for fantasy,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a solid safety blanket. So you know,
Speaker 1: as we talked about him going through his progressions and
Speaker 1: if you know, he was looking for the deepoll or
Speaker 1: something down the field and it's not available. At least
Speaker 1: he has some of those safety valves now available with
Speaker 1: a Cole Beasley and a Zay Jones. Uh. So, I
Speaker 1: think that while the Bills tried to go out and
Speaker 1: make a splash and getting Antonio Brown, they did everything
Speaker 1: they could. I think they recovered pretty well in terms
Speaker 1: of trying to surround him with the best weapons. Is
Speaker 1: that something that you would agree with, Matt, You know,
Speaker 1: I agree to the fact that they didn't make the attempt.
Speaker 1: Uh when the player doesn't want to go there, you
Speaker 1: could do. I would choose Hollywood over Buffalo in most instances,
Speaker 1: maybe football wise, I might have went the opposite way here,
Speaker 1: but maybe that's my bias. But I mean, for me,
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at it. Where the Bills it's it's
Speaker 1: it's really the offensive line here. Can the news center,
Speaker 1: Can the draft pick? Can these guys step in and
Speaker 1: gel because I think they do have upside there. I'm
Speaker 1: just not sure if it's all going to come together
Speaker 1: this season. Yeah, we shall see. I thought it was
Speaker 1: a really good job though. Again, bringing in a veteran
Speaker 1: center like that's something I wish that the Jets would
Speaker 1: have done something that they should have done. They had
Speaker 1: money to do it. Maybe that's part of the reason
Speaker 1: why Mike mccagnet is no longer the general manager of
Speaker 1: the Jets. But I think when you have a young
Speaker 1: quarterback like that, you do want a veteran center who
Speaker 1: can come in and obviously make calls at the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and you know, help things so smoothly on
Speaker 1: the offensive line. I think that's a good way to
Speaker 1: word it. When it comes to Mitch Morris and the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, they're just for some last second stats here.
Speaker 1: When it comes to Josh Allen in terms of his
Speaker 1: rushing from Week twelve, on last year. After the bye,
Speaker 1: he was not a QB one v QB one last
Speaker 1: year in fantasy points per game, only eight passing touchdowns,
Speaker 1: seven interceptions. That was in a six game stretch. He
Speaker 1: averaged nine rushing attempts for games, seventy nine point three
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game. That pro rates to almost rushing yards,
Speaker 1: so we're not expecting that on a weekly basis. But
Speaker 1: he did have five rushing touchdowns during that stretch. So
Speaker 1: if we could see some of the passing numbers go
Speaker 1: up in terms of touchdowns and keep somewhat modest rushing,
Speaker 1: you know, in that fifty forty yard range something like that,
Speaker 1: I do think that Josh Allen does have QB one upside.
Speaker 1: We come back, We're going to the pass catchers running
Speaker 1: backs here for the Buffalo Bills, Frank standfle Matt Modica,

Speaker 1: I don't know what it is yet. Something will roto
Speaker 1: experts daily, Rhoto will buy you a beer, you buy
Speaker 1: us a beer something, We'll figure it out. Well. The
Speaker 1: Buffalo builds pass catchers here, Matt, I want to jump
Speaker 1: into this. We kind of mentioned them a little bit
Speaker 1: while we were talking about Josh Allen. If you had
Speaker 1: to choose somebody to lead this team in target share
Speaker 1: this season, who would that be? Who is the first
Speaker 1: person that you want to draft in fantasy football this
Speaker 1: season in terms of the Buffalo Bills pass catchers, if anybody,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm hoping it's John Brown. Uh. Is it
Speaker 1: gonna be as A Jones or Co Beasley. That's a possibility,
Speaker 1: And I don't know how successful the Bills are gonna
Speaker 1: be if that is the case. So I'm really hoping
Speaker 1: that John Brown is the guy that they we that
Speaker 1: leads his team in targets, but not something that I
Speaker 1: could bank upon and real quickly. Josh Allen for me
Speaker 1: in a regular twelve team UH football draft like I
Speaker 1: do the nff C where we do thirty round, so
Speaker 1: he's a very suitable second quarterback. But for me, maybe
Speaker 1: you know, he's my second quarterback. I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people wait on quarterbacks. We don't really value quarterbacks
Speaker 1: and those type of things, but I think he does
Speaker 1: have that upside way if he does really pop, he
Speaker 1: can be a league winner in most cases. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: agree with you on that. Look, it's just the rushing
Speaker 1: upside for fantasy. We've seen terrible quarterbacks be awesome for
Speaker 1: fantasy just because of their rushing production. Even Tim Tebow
Speaker 1: was fantasy viable at some point because he ran the ball.
Speaker 1: So I agree with Matt when it comes to that.
Speaker 1: I think look in a super flex league, I think
Speaker 1: he's a viable quarterback too. I love him for Best
Speaker 1: Ball as well. So if you do any the Best
Speaker 1: Ball drafts on UH, the NFC, the NFL tens, if
Speaker 1: you do them on the draft app, if you draft
Speaker 1: two or three quarterbacks and you wait taking buff taking
Speaker 1: Josh Allen as one of those quarterbacks. I think is
Speaker 1: a smart idea specifically for best Ball, because I think,
Speaker 1: as we saw in that later part of the season
Speaker 1: last year where he was like the QB one over
Speaker 1: the final six or seven weeks of the season, he
Speaker 1: has legitimate upside. So especially in best Ball, I like
Speaker 1: him a lot more there. Everyone wants to wait on quarterback.
Speaker 1: I don't know that I would want him as my
Speaker 1: quarterback one. If I take him, I I might want
Speaker 1: to pair him with a veteran who I think is
Speaker 1: a little bit more stable, so you have someone who's
Speaker 1: safe and then someone who's a little bit more volatile.
Speaker 1: But I do agree with you when it comes to that, Matt,
Speaker 1: I would prefer Josh Allen as my QB two or
Speaker 1: in a super flex league like the Scott Fish Bowl.
Speaker 1: I ended up with Carson Wentz to my QB one,
Speaker 1: and I got Josh Allen as my QB two, and
Speaker 1: I'm perfectly fine with that. I did know, just talk
Speaker 1: about Robert Foster real quick like trying to figure out
Speaker 1: the pass catchers here. It's a mess. You know. Matt
Speaker 1: spoke about John Brown. How you know he thinks he
Speaker 1: could be the guy or should be the guy And
Speaker 1: while we're on the topic of best ball, both Robert
Speaker 1: Foster and John Brown are going to be awesome for
Speaker 1: best ball. I mean you've heard this year in a
Speaker 1: year out when it comes to de Shaan Jackson. These
Speaker 1: players are in similar molds. I mean, they might be
Speaker 1: boom er bust. They might catch one pass for fifty
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown, and if they do, that's perfectly fine.
Speaker 1: You don't need anything else that day. But they might
Speaker 1: come back the next week and give you a dud.
Speaker 1: So in terms of trusting them in a redraft league,
Speaker 1: I think you could take a shot on one of
Speaker 1: these guys late as your you know, one of your
Speaker 1: last round picks, your wide receiver five, your wide receiver
Speaker 1: six on the end of your bench. Um. But I
Speaker 1: do think that they're better for best ball. I lean
Speaker 1: a little bit with Robert Foster. I hear what you're saying.
Speaker 1: With John Brown, he has um, He's done a little
Speaker 1: bit more in his career at the NFL level, he
Speaker 1: has more experience, obviously, But I just really like the
Speaker 1: the size speed combination for Robert Foster Matt because you
Speaker 1: look at him six ft two. He ran a four
Speaker 1: for one forty yard dash. Um. You know, he was
Speaker 1: wide receiver fifteen after the bye week last season when
Speaker 1: Josh Allen took over, where you know, he was averaging
Speaker 1: sixty seven yards per game, seventeen percent targets share. Who
Speaker 1: was first in yards per reception last year, first in
Speaker 1: a dot you know, he had an a DOT average
Speaker 1: depth of target of twenty two point nine, so you've
Speaker 1: seen a lot of those targets down the field. UM,
Speaker 1: and he was second in terms of yards per target
Speaker 1: as well. So I think we're onto a little bit
Speaker 1: something here with either Robert Foster or John Brown. I
Speaker 1: leaned with Robert Foster. Matt Modica leans with John Brown. Uh, Matt,
Speaker 1: do you have any interest in Za Jones or Cole Beasley? Personally?
Speaker 1: I just feel like they're going to kind of spread
Speaker 1: this attack around. I kind of wish that they didn't
Speaker 1: sign Cole Beasley so that Z Jones could have been
Speaker 1: the primary slot receiver for this team, because it seemed
Speaker 1: like in the second half of the season he was
Speaker 1: really starting to build off things. UM. But ultimately they
Speaker 1: do bring in Cole Beasley, and I think that cap
Speaker 1: some of the upside here for A Jones. Yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: agree with that. That definitely mud eat up things, uh
Speaker 1: with the addition of Beasley, But like you said, he
Speaker 1: is a proven safety blanket. Alan's gonna need somebody like
Speaker 1: that real quick. On Robert Forster, I think he's a
Speaker 1: perfect player, a perfect component in the Josh Allen offense
Speaker 1: and going deep as you stay did the a dot numbers,
Speaker 1: the yards per reception, he fits it perfectly. Uh. And
Speaker 1: he's to me a lottery ticket player here where you
Speaker 1: know he can get you those big games on just
Speaker 1: a couple of catchers as you stayed, the best ball
Speaker 1: perfect for that. The other last thing for the Bills
Speaker 1: passing offense is their tight end. I know he really
Speaker 1: didn't put up numbers in college. Uh. It seems like
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a start, very good chance of being
Speaker 1: the starter out of camp. And he's a super athletic kid.
Speaker 1: So he's somebody to uh keep him mark. He's a
Speaker 1: watch list player. I'm not telling you, you know, draft
Speaker 1: him as your tight end one and stuff. Put somebody
Speaker 1: to keep in mind. You know, after a couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: he's maybe somebody you Andy, I don't know how to
Speaker 1: opense is gonna play out, but something just you know,
Speaker 1: like down pitch of paper, keeping the backing mind. I
Speaker 1: agree with you. I actually have Dawson Knox written down
Speaker 1: here in my notes and the note that I have
Speaker 1: on him really athletic tight end, exactly what you mentioned.
Speaker 1: Six ft four two and fifty four pounds. He ran
Speaker 1: a four six four forty that was in fourth percentile
Speaker 1: among tight ends coming out of college. So I do agree.
Speaker 1: I like Dawson Knox. And you know, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: wrap this all up in terms of the past catchers.
Speaker 1: Z A Jones. I said this downstairs. I mentioned this
Speaker 1: to uh Florio as well. Z A Jones reminds me
Speaker 1: exactly of Robert Woods from when he was there. I
Speaker 1: think Za Jones, you know, he leaves this team after
Speaker 1: his rookie contract. He ends up going somewhere else, and
Speaker 1: they turned him into a star because I do think
Speaker 1: that Za Jones is a player. I think I think
Speaker 1: he is a legitimate NFL player. I think he flashed
Speaker 1: a little bit last year. I just don't think that
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills have given him the right opportunity. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he hasn't picked up on some things
Speaker 1: in the playbook like it could be partially on him,
Speaker 1: but I do think he's a player. Wouldn't surprise me
Speaker 1: if a couple of years from now he ends up
Speaker 1: with another team and ends up taking off. So I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna throw that out there. You're playing, uh, dynasty leagues,
Speaker 1: you haven't. E's A Jones shares um. I would look
Speaker 1: forward to once he's not on the Buffalo Bills. Big
Speaker 1: things coming for z A. Jones, Matt we get to
Speaker 1: the most intriguing of all, and that is the Buffalo
Speaker 1: Bills running backs. This is just a crapshoot man because
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy, one year older averager career low three point
Speaker 1: two yards per carry, sixty one rushing rushing attempts last
Speaker 1: year where his lowest since his rookie season. He scored
Speaker 1: just three touchdowns. Two of those came in one game
Speaker 1: against you guess it, my New York Jets. So that
Speaker 1: means he only scored in two games total last year
Speaker 1: because he scored two of those three touchdowns against the Jets,
Speaker 1: of course, So it seems like he's kind of his athleticism.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's starting to fall off a little bit.
Speaker 1: And he was someone who relied so much on being
Speaker 1: able to, as his Twitter handle says, stop on a
Speaker 1: dime and and the cuts and and things that he
Speaker 1: was able to do in his prime. There's no doubting
Speaker 1: how great of a player Lashaw McCoy was. I just
Speaker 1: don't know how much is left in the tank. And
Speaker 1: then on top of that, they bring in Frank Or,
Speaker 1: they bring in t J. Yelden, and they signed Devin Singletary.
Speaker 1: Do you have any interest in the Buffalo Bills running backs? Uh? No,
Speaker 1: not outside of it, you know, like Singletary, I was,
Speaker 1: I didn't touch McCoy last year with everything going on,
Speaker 1: and I don't like the Bills offense. So I'm I
Speaker 1: think this line has a lot of promise. It's, you know,
Speaker 1: definitely an upside offensive line. I'm just I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if you can gel or it might take a few
Speaker 1: weeks before it does. But like you said, you got McCoy,
Speaker 1: you got Gore, So that's even that's just another headache.
Speaker 1: I did like the signing of t J. Yeldon. I
Speaker 1: think he's a really good pass catching back. Uh. Something
Speaker 1: Josh Allen you know, needs to improve upon is his
Speaker 1: passions to the running back. Believe it or not, I
Speaker 1: think I could really aid and it's just his game,
Speaker 1: So I would really like the Yeldon. I liked the
Speaker 1: tingulitary selection, so I'm gonna lean more towards those guys
Speaker 1: if anything like late. As far as the other two,
Speaker 1: I just had been off Gore for so long. There's
Speaker 1: no way in hell I'm going on there now. How
Speaker 1: can you, Matt, It's the ageless wonder Frank Gore, the
Speaker 1: guy ever It's four point six yards per carry last
Speaker 1: season at thirty five years old. It's just crazy. He
Speaker 1: continues to get it done. He was a thorn in
Speaker 1: the side of all Kenyan Drake owners last year. I'll
Speaker 1: never forgive you for that. Well, it was more so
Speaker 1: Adam Gates, who, of course we'll get to after the
Speaker 1: break in the New York Jets. But I agree. You
Speaker 1: know it's targeting Devin Singletary late in your draft, especially
Speaker 1: in bestball. Um. This is just this running back by
Speaker 1: committee is just completely up in the air. You don't
Speaker 1: really know how it's going to shake out here. But
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, someone who did rush for over forty three
Speaker 1: near yards sixties seven total touchdowns at Florida Atlantic. When
Speaker 1: we come back the New York Jets, Frank Standford, Matt Modica,

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the BFFs Fantasy Sports Network. Frank staff
Speaker 1: will joined by my buddy Matt Modica. Make sure you
Speaker 1: follow on Twitter at CTM Baseball. You're gonna have an
Speaker 1: awesome article coming out in August, fantasy football related article
Speaker 1: on the athletics, so make sure you keep your keep
Speaker 1: your eyes peeled for that. Already for that coming in August.
Speaker 1: Here we gotta talk about the New York Jets, my
Speaker 1: j E t s true story Matt Modica. The day
Speaker 1: that the Jets signed Adam Gaze to be their head
Speaker 1: coach was one of the most upset days that I've
Speaker 1: ever been as a fan of any sport in my life?
Speaker 1: Does that seem like an overreaction? I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: Is that's how I stopped being a Jet fan. Was
Speaker 1: first they moved outam Sha Stadium to Giants Stadium and Jersie,
Speaker 1: which I never liked him playing in Jersey or especially
Speaker 1: in the stadium called Giants Stadium, and they re signed
Speaker 1: the coach what was his name? After six I can't really,
Speaker 1: I can't remember his name. I couldn't. He was terrible,
Speaker 1: one of the worst coaches I've ever seen, and the
Speaker 1: USF felt unfolded. Jim Kelly was coming and all that
Speaker 1: and that town. He became a Bills fan. They were
Speaker 1: the only New York team, even though they're basically closer
Speaker 1: to Canada. Would it beat Joe Walton? Is that who
Speaker 1: it is? Yes? Thank you? Yeah, I just pulled up
Speaker 1: Jets coaches on Wikipedia. Admittedly, NFL history is not my
Speaker 1: strong suit, so you know anything before you know the
Speaker 1: year two thousand not really my strongest suit in terms
Speaker 1: of fantasy football or football in general. But uh, I
Speaker 1: don't really know what Adam Gates has done to earn
Speaker 1: a head coaching job. I thought that, you know, if
Speaker 1: he wasn't. If he didn't get this head coaching job
Speaker 1: from the Jets, he probably would have ended up as
Speaker 1: a maybe offensive coordinator somewhere, maybe a quarterbacks coach. Maybe
Speaker 1: he would have ended up in college. I don't know
Speaker 1: that any other team in the NFL was going to
Speaker 1: give this guy um A a legitimate opera tunity as
Speaker 1: a head coach following what he did with the Miami Dolphins. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be a quarterback guru, but I guess
Speaker 1: we'll find out. I want to start with the quarterback.
Speaker 1: I want to start with the most fantasy relevant player
Speaker 1: on this team, and that is Levian Bell. Matt. We
Speaker 1: saw how everything went down last year with Levian Bell.
Speaker 1: The hold out with the Pittsburgh Steelers, probably the biggest
Speaker 1: fantasy football bust of all time because he was for
Speaker 1: the most part still you know, during draft season July
Speaker 1: in August, he was still a top three, top five
Speaker 1: pick for most of that time. Maybe like once we
Speaker 1: got really close to Week one and we were doing
Speaker 1: some late drafts, like he fell down the draft board
Speaker 1: because people were panicking. But he didn't play a single game.
Speaker 1: So he's gonna down as one of the biggest Fantasy
Speaker 1: football busts of all time last season. Um, but I
Speaker 1: feel like based on his ADP right now, he's going
Speaker 1: you know, the later half of the first round in
Speaker 1: in terms of NFFC a DP. Right now he's going
Speaker 1: at UH ten point three six. He's the seventh running
Speaker 1: back off the board. I feel like this is reverse
Speaker 1: recency bias because we haven't seen him play for so long,
Speaker 1: people are forgetting how good Levan Bell is. What do
Speaker 1: you think about his current ADP? What do you think
Speaker 1: about him being the seventh RB off the board? Are
Speaker 1: you buying in at that point? How do you feel
Speaker 1: about Levian Bell? Yeah? I mean come back to last
Speaker 1: year when we were going live in the nfl C
Speaker 1: and the news broke he was even going still into
Speaker 1: the second round. Maybe he's more towards the end. So
Speaker 1: right one of the old time busts from people that
Speaker 1: you know paid that price, either first or second round.
Speaker 1: But look, I've always been a fan of Bell. I
Speaker 1: know you've got the Pittsburgh Steelers system, and for me,
Speaker 1: he's probably my number six running back right now. I
Speaker 1: don't like the fact that he did not play this year.
Speaker 1: I thought you can say, look, he didn't take any hits,
Speaker 1: he's healthier and stuff. Still being away from the game
Speaker 1: is not great. Here's my biggest dilemma. I think he's
Speaker 1: getting the volume. I don't think that's an issue. Regardless
Speaker 1: of that guy who signed him is not in power anymore.
Speaker 1: They paid him a ton of money. He's a talent
Speaker 1: and gauge. He's gonna have to use him, especially when
Speaker 1: you look at the other running backs that they have.
Speaker 1: I don't really see where you're going with another option.
Speaker 1: But unlike what the Steelers, who always had a good
Speaker 1: run offense offensive line that should run the ball and stuff,
Speaker 1: I don't see that with the Jets. Yeah, they did
Speaker 1: make one signing, but I think that's they're hoping to
Speaker 1: possibly protect the quarterback with more solow. With that signing
Speaker 1: and that kind it turns to forum. So it's a
Speaker 1: really tough decision here with Bell because I believe in
Speaker 1: the volume, but I think the Jets probably have a
Speaker 1: bottom five offensive line. Yeah, I think that's fair. I think,
Speaker 1: you know, does the volume outweigh efficiency here? And I
Speaker 1: think that's what you have to ask yourself when it
Speaker 1: comes to Levi on Bell. There's no doubt that He's
Speaker 1: been a workhorse in his career. He's ever his nineteen
Speaker 1: point eight carries per game, five receptions per game. You know,
Speaker 1: he's one of the most unique, one of the most
Speaker 1: patient running backs in the NFL right now. He might
Speaker 1: be one of the most patient running backs in NFL history.
Speaker 1: You know, just that I've seen someone that legitimately waits
Speaker 1: behind that offensive line for his holes to open up,
Speaker 1: and then you know, makes the most of his opportunity.
Speaker 1: Will those holes ever open up on the Jets offensive line?
Speaker 1: I think that's what the worry is for Matt Modica.
Speaker 1: He has three three seasons of seventy five plus receptions
Speaker 1: in his career. I mean, this guy was say Kwon
Speaker 1: Barkley and Christian McCaffrey before those guys were even in
Speaker 1: the league. So I just want to remind people of yes,
Speaker 1: he didn't play last year, but let's remember what he
Speaker 1: is capable of. And I also agree Matt that, look,
Speaker 1: they signed this guy to a lot of money, and
Speaker 1: I think that they're going to run him into the
Speaker 1: ground at least the first couple of years of this contract.
Speaker 1: I think that they're going to try and get their
Speaker 1: money's worth. And you know, I was one of the
Speaker 1: biggest haters of Adam Gates last year because of the
Speaker 1: way that he used Kenyan Drake. But he Adam Gates
Speaker 1: did produce a top twelve running back for fantasy purposes
Speaker 1: back inteen that was JGI. So at least we have
Speaker 1: some idea of Okay, Adam Gates has used a running
Speaker 1: back as they work course before and has produced a
Speaker 1: top twelve running back. Obviously, we want Levian Bell to
Speaker 1: be better than top twelve, and he's more talented than
Speaker 1: then J J. I. E Is. So we'll see what
Speaker 1: happens here. I agree with you. I think the volume
Speaker 1: is there. I do have some question marks about the
Speaker 1: efficiency overall. But you know, if he was if he
Speaker 1: was in Pittsburgh, he's probably what's still a top three,
Speaker 1: top four pick, he'd be going, you know, with those
Speaker 1: those top sa Kwon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey, he'd be going
Speaker 1: in that range. So you're getting him at a bit
Speaker 1: of a discount. You're getting him, you know, later half
Speaker 1: of the first round here because he doesn't have that
Speaker 1: same offensive line, because he doesn't have Ben Roethlisberger, he
Speaker 1: doesn't have Mike Tomlin. But overall, I do think that
Speaker 1: the volume is gonna be there. I don't really have
Speaker 1: a problem for where he's going at that, you know,
Speaker 1: late first round, early second round, if you can get
Speaker 1: him there. Adam Gates is supposed to be a quarterback guru.
Speaker 1: We're so we're gonna find out very quickly because Sam
Speaker 1: Donald in his second year is expected to take a
Speaker 1: huge step up based on what he did in that
Speaker 1: final month of the season Maddie mo where he was
Speaker 1: rated as Pro Football Focus is best quarterback over the
Speaker 1: final month of the season last year, UM he averaged
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty two passing yards for gaming it's
Speaker 1: six passing touchdowns during that final month he had just
Speaker 1: one interception. I remember watching that game against the Texans
Speaker 1: where he was going back and forth with DeShawn Watson.
Speaker 1: That the next week he was going back and forth
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers. Just an absolute shootout. You do it
Speaker 1: for like three fifty yards and two touchdowns. I think
Speaker 1: there's talent here for Sam Donald. I just don't know
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective. I think he's probably a year
Speaker 1: or two away. Like we might get a between thirty
Speaker 1: and four thousand passing yards maybe passing touchdowns and just
Speaker 1: giving the landscape of the quarterback position. I don't know
Speaker 1: that that's gonna be enough to pay off for fantasy
Speaker 1: this season. Yeah, I gottage. Look, I'm a Bills fan
Speaker 1: in election things about Jets, but you know, for fantishing,
Speaker 1: you gotta be objective. And I'm a U. C. L
Speaker 1: A fan and I do not like USC but I
Speaker 1: really like Sam Donald. I wish I was so upset
Speaker 1: when the Jets trained up. I knew that meant the
Speaker 1: Bills had no shot unless they traded with the Giants,
Speaker 1: and that didn't come to fruition. So I really like
Speaker 1: this future. I like the addition of Jamison Crowder if
Speaker 1: you could ever stay healthy. Uh, you know, it's another
Speaker 1: weapon in that offense, especially in the slot. So the
Speaker 1: key for me is can he be protected? Is he
Speaker 1: going to be lacked? Like you said that last month?
Speaker 1: He really showed, Uh, he really showed what he can
Speaker 1: do in the future. I think you nailed it as
Speaker 1: far as fantasy goes. These are the questions I've written down,
Speaker 1: like how many attempts is he really gonna have? He's
Speaker 1: in that thirty six D four thousand range from me, touchdowns,
Speaker 1: And you know, is he a top twenty quarterback right now?
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, I don't. I don't really
Speaker 1: think so. Maybe he can squeeze him in there. But
Speaker 1: I do like this kid's future. I think the Jets
Speaker 1: are made the right selection there, and I think down
Speaker 1: the road the Giants will re read it. In terms
Speaker 1: of NFFC A DP, Sam Donald is the twenty quarterback
Speaker 1: off the board right now. Can't really argue with where
Speaker 1: he's going there. I keep saying the number for me,
Speaker 1: Matt is twenty two. In terms of quarterbacks, there are
Speaker 1: twenty two quarterbacks that you can legitimately start as your quarterback.
Speaker 1: Because number twenty two right now in NFC A DP
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. How crazy is that to say? Right like,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is twenty two. Then Josh Allen right above him,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, Lamar Jackson. Uh, the quarterback position is legitimately deep.
Speaker 1: That's why you know, for anyone watching or listening out there,
Speaker 1: this is why you keep hearing people talk about super
Speaker 1: flex leagues because I I am an advocate of them.
Speaker 1: I condone people playing in super flex. That means you
Speaker 1: can flex a quarterback in your Fantasy Football League, and
Speaker 1: just given how deep the position is, I think that
Speaker 1: that's the way that things should be trending. But I
Speaker 1: do agree with you when it comes to Sam Donald
Speaker 1: for fan, he's probably outside that mix. Like I'd still
Speaker 1: rather have Tom Brady than him, and then it's like
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, Andy Dalton. I probably would rather have those
Speaker 1: guys just because I think, uh, the weapons might be
Speaker 1: a little bit better there, but it remains to be seen.
Speaker 1: I think Sam Donald might have upside in the future
Speaker 1: in terms of if you have this guy for Dynasty,
Speaker 1: but ultimately that's going to be Adam Gaye's job to
Speaker 1: help him get to that next level. You know, Matt,
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about Adam Gates being a quarterback guru,
Speaker 1: and I could just do a whole show about how
Speaker 1: much he is not a quarterback guru. But you know,
Speaker 1: they call him this because he was Peyton Manning's offensive
Speaker 1: coordinator of the year. He threw for like five touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning is his own offensive coordinator. I really don't
Speaker 1: think that Adam Gates had much to do with that.
Speaker 1: And then if if someone wants to throw out the
Speaker 1: counterpoint that um, he helped get the most out of
Speaker 1: Jay Cutler. If if by that you mean you know
Speaker 1: he threw more touchdowns than interceptions. I looked into all
Speaker 1: of this, Jay Cutler, the season with UM with Adam
Speaker 1: Gates has his Oh see, he threw for twenty one
Speaker 1: touchdowns and and twelve interceptions and maybe close to four
Speaker 1: thousand yards. It wasn't a good season by any It's
Speaker 1: not like he turned Jay Cutler into like this awesome quarterback.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, is there anything that you've seen
Speaker 1: that like has earned him this title of quarterback guru
Speaker 1: or you know, as much control as he has gained
Speaker 1: with the New York Jets. It's just it's just so
Speaker 1: baffling to me. I don't know how we got to
Speaker 1: this point where Adam Gates is basically in control of
Speaker 1: everything in the New York Jets. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: how that happened. I Jake Christian Cavalier, he got the
Speaker 1: most out of Jay Cutler. Uh, Look, I don't know.
Speaker 1: He wanted Palace. Trouble with the GM got him fired.
Speaker 1: I mean that press conference alone was one of the
Speaker 1: most insane things I've seen. I'm at you, I like
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake, I don't know what the hell was going
Speaker 1: on there last season and the stubbornness and all that,
Speaker 1: But I have to say I think the Jets are
Speaker 1: trending in the right direction here. I think Robbie Anderson,
Speaker 1: you know, they're saying they're gonna use him in a
Speaker 1: lot of different ways this year, which I hope is true.
Speaker 1: He right now, I think it's like he could be
Speaker 1: like a seventh round stud. Uh if you go according
Speaker 1: to his current you know, draft status and stuff. And
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, I really like Jamison Crowder. Jamison Crowder,
Speaker 1: you need to stay healthy for a year and we
Speaker 1: could we could possibly see some good things. You heard
Speaker 1: Matt Modiga mentioned Robby Anderson's wide receiver thirty two off
Speaker 1: the board right now in the month of July in
Speaker 1: terms of nff C a DP going at pick seventy four,
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's early seventh round, so you're getting him
Speaker 1: at that six seven turn. That's pretty consistent with what
Speaker 1: I've seen in Best Ball Draft so far. First and foremost,
Speaker 1: when we're talking about Robbie Anderson, awesome hair. The guy
Speaker 1: has awesome hair. Like I wish I can do what
Speaker 1: he does with his hair. Unfortunately, I you know, I
Speaker 1: don't really have the capability to pull that off, but
Speaker 1: awesome hair. When it comes to Robbie Anderson, legitimately, you know,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about this a little bit. We have like
Speaker 1: a three minute segment coming up after the break where
Speaker 1: you know, we could talk a lot about Robby Anderson
Speaker 1: because he's getting hyped up. I have a few more
Speaker 1: question marks when it comes to Robbie Anderson, and I
Speaker 1: don't feel good about it because I want to like
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson. You know, I've watched him make plays at
Speaker 1: the NFL level and I think he's a player. I
Speaker 1: think he's talented, and I think him and Sam Donald
Speaker 1: have a little bit of a rapport there. But there
Speaker 1: are a lot of mouths to feed this season for
Speaker 1: this Jets team. So we'll talk about that a little
Speaker 1: bit more when we come back. We'll wrap up our

Speaker 1: joined by Matt Modica. No Greg Sussman. He's out celebrating
Speaker 1: at his bachelor party. We got about three minutes here
Speaker 1: to wrap up Robby Anderson's I want to do that
Speaker 1: quickly with Matt Modica. Brobby Anderson last year finished his
Speaker 1: wide receiver thirty five, But it was really what he
Speaker 1: did in that final month of the season with Sam Donald.
Speaker 1: Once Donald really really got things going. He was wide
Speaker 1: receiver five during that final month, and I remember picking
Speaker 1: this guy up in a few leagues and just riding
Speaker 1: them out and you know, using in DFS and he
Speaker 1: was just awesome every single week. Thirty nine targets during
Speaker 1: that four game stretch, twenty three receptions, five and twenty
Speaker 1: eight yards in just four games, a thirteen point five
Speaker 1: average depth of targets, so he was working in the
Speaker 1: intermediate and down the field as well. A thirty one
Speaker 1: percent targets share, Matt, That's where I have pause. He
Speaker 1: did all of this in the final month of the season.
Speaker 1: I realized he's wide receiver five during that time, so
Speaker 1: we're not expecting him to be that, but he did
Speaker 1: all that damage on a thirty one percent target share.
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at the addition of Jamison Crowder and
Speaker 1: the fact that Quincy and Nona is back with this team,
Speaker 1: and Levi on Bell is now here, and you know
Speaker 1: that he's going to get a ton of targets as well,
Speaker 1: and all that kind of adds up to me being
Speaker 1: a little bit worried about Robby Anderson. Is that something
Speaker 1: that's in the back of your mind when you're drafting him. Well,
Speaker 1: I think you're right, Uh is unrealistic, So let's bring
Speaker 1: it down to a realistic arrange for him, which which
Speaker 1: I think he he can be a very good player.
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of talent here and having
Speaker 1: a report with uh donald is is very big. So
Speaker 1: for me, I want to see like they're saying they're
Speaker 1: gonna use him in various different ways this season. It
Speaker 1: was the one thing I have I look at it
Speaker 1: that you didn't mention is his inability to score and
Speaker 1: be used in the red zone or score in the
Speaker 1: red zone. You know, I think he's got fifteen touchdowns,
Speaker 1: only three of them have occurred in the red zone,
Speaker 1: uh too inside the ten. So I think he's a
Speaker 1: guy you're hoping is utilized more in that aspect to
Speaker 1: uh bully him all throughout the season. But I think
Speaker 1: if you're looking for something in the load of mid twenties,
Speaker 1: is a more realistic range of percentage. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that's fair for the target share. I see the path
Speaker 1: to him being awesome this year. You know, if Crowder
Speaker 1: gets hurt in the neoner gets hurt because they are
Speaker 1: injury promping players. But I want to thank you Matt
