So hope Greg is enjoying the 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.200 bachelor party there. Mattiemo, are you Are you a Dave 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:08.120 Matthews Band kind of guy? Ah Ball admit to when 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.239 I was younger, I did like some I have not 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.440 listened in probably the list twenty years though, my man, 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.160 thank you so much for for confirming that. That means 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:18.440 we're gonna have a great show. We're gonna have a 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.440 great show today. As I meant you, we're gonna be 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.600 previewing the Bills and the Jets. It's pretty funny because 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:25.880 me the Jets fan, I had to get a fellow 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.440 Bills fan on the show Florial Friday, that's tomorrow, So 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.360 Mike just misses out on one day talking about his bills. 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.919 But uh, I had to bring in a Buffalo Bills 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.920 specialist here to help me preview them. Matt overall, how 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.520 do you feel about the Buffalo Bills heading into the season. Look, 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.440 we know the New England Patriots are still gonna rule 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.960 the a f C East, But overall, what's your feel 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.200 for the Buffalo Bills heading into the season. Uh, let's 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:54.440 say that I'm cautiously optimistic. Um. Look, I don't really 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.000 see them winning more than eight games. I think that's 0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:02.760 the benchmark, which is unfortunate. And until Brady and Belichick retire, Uh, 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.560 I don't share anything changing in the a f C East. 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:11.000 I think as far as real NFL versus fantasy, I'll 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:15.200 probably enjoy watching the Bills more than having their players 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.640 on my team. That's probably fair to say. And I 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.000 think even from a fantasy perspective, like it might be 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.680 ugly at times this year with Josh Allen, but we've 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:24.920 all we all saw what he could do with his 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.320 legs last season. We're gonna talk about more about that 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.080 when we come back from the break here on the show. 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:31.960 I also thought it was interesting, you know, I was. 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.480 I was texting Maddie Moo last night about this. I 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.800 don't know that there's anybody who understands this more than you. 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.359 I mean, there's a lot of people that are dual 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.799 fantasy sport athletes. I guess you could call them or analysts, 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.159 but um, we're still writing the thick of fantasy baseball 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:51.080 season and we're all starting to do our fantasy football research. Matt, 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.840 I mean, how do you handle the grind? It's just 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.240 it's tough, man, because I don't want to let anything 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.479 slip through the cracks when it comes to baseball, and obviously, 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.200 you know we're competing in high takes leagues against each 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.840 other in the NNPC the main event. We have other 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.120 industry leagues that we're taking part of as well. Uh, 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.320 it's really tough to balance this time of year. How 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.920 do you how do you normally handle it? Well that 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:16.000 that's correct, as this is where fantasy Baseball championships are 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.960 one over the next two months in August and September. 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:23.320 But what I try and do is just stay focused 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.960 on the NFL season year long. You know, my commitments 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.240 to baseball when we're doing the draft season and all that. 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.880 But once the NFL Draft approaches, you have to be 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:37.440 tuned in. I think most people are. And look, I'm 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.799 not saying you're heavily invested, but you are paying attention. 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.440 You're seeing who the new coaches are, uh, the new 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:48.679 schemes that maybe run, the free agent acquisitions, the draft picks, 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.320 and how that's gonna comb culminate and affect such teams. 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.920 But right now I'm kind of breaking my days down 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.480 between baseball and football. Yeah, I mean, that's what we're 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.320 all trying to do here. You know, if you follow 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.080 me on Twitter at to wander score Frank. I mean, 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.800 last night I went through a barrage of baseball tweets 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:05.960 and then I threw out a few Patriots tweets in there. 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.720 Some Sony Michelle Julian Edelman. We were talking about them 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.520 yesterday on the show. So yeah, I've got both going 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.520 on right now as well, between baseball and football. Gonna 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.400 completely switch gears here for a second. Maddie Moo, are 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.600 you a fan of the IT series, because they just 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:23.680 released the the latest trailer for the chapter two of 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.200 the IT movies and it looks amazing. I did you 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.360 the first one I showed the cable. I liked it. 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:31.840 You know, I'm not really big I'm not really a 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.760 big horror guy, but I thought it was pretty cool something, 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:38.039 you know. I like the storyline on it. I don't 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:39.360 know if I'm going to the movies to see it, 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.600 but I'll probably watching when it comes on cable. So 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.119 what is uh? What? What's the idea movie that Maddie 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:45.840 mos kicking his feet up and watching? Is that like 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.840 a like a Mafio so kind of movie? What? What? What? 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:53.640 What do you got? Matt? I kind of like like, um, so, 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.480 you know, Godfather, If you're going to have direction goods, 0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:00.400 obviously I'll play the stereo type there, but totty much 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:04.760 real life drama, you know, stuff like that. Look. I 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.560 like a good blockbuster every now and then. I think 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.479 the c g I has gotten a little too out 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:13.280 of control. But I'm looking forward to seeing, Uh, what's 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.120 the movie Quentin Tarantino is dropping under the month? I 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.520 remember forward to that one. Yeah, I saw that He's 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.200 coming out with a new movie. Is that one with 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:26.640 uh Leonardo in it? Oh? Yeah, Leonardo? Uh Brad Pitch 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.720 in it. It looks upon a time in Hollywood. Yeah, 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.760 Margolo Robbie, who's you know, one of my favorites. Yeah, 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:34.640 it does look pretty interesting. I saw that too. I 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.440 went to the movies recently. What do I go see? 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.800 Oh Midsummer very very weird movie, very weird movie. Admittedly 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:41.880 that was that was one where I just kind of 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:43.400 gave into the fiance and I was like, all right, 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.600 we'll go watch this very very weird movie. But I 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.240 did see the preview four Once upon a Time in Hollywood. 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:50.560 It looks pretty good. Can't complaine when it comes to 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.679 Quentin Tarantino. You know, his movies are all over the place. 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:55.920 But as I mentioned, look, we have some bills talk 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.080 coming up. We have the New York Jets coming up 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.760 as well. Here on the show mentioned you know, Manimo 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.000 mentioned that, you know, we're looking at what teams are 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.120 doing in the all season in terms of bringing in coaches. Now, 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:09.640 they didn't really change anything coaching wise, but they brought 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.320 in a ton of free agents here in terms of 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:16.560 John Brown and Cole Beasley. So we're gonna break all 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.360 that down. We're gonna break down their pass catchers, the quarterback, 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.680 Josh Allen, the Shaw McCoy, the running backs, all that 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:27.360 coming up next BFFs here on the Fantasy Sports Network.

Make sure you follow 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:15.319 on Twitter at CTM Baseball that Modica will be writing 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.800 a weekly stat centric fantasy football article with The Athletic 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.000 this season, so make sure you stay tuned for that. 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.800 Keep your eyes peeled and ready once Matt Modica starts. Matt, 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:26.400 did you start writing any football yet? Or is that 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.640 an in season thing that you're doing now that should 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.680 be happening next month? All right, so starting next month August, 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:33.719 get ready for that. Make sure you're looking out for 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:37.439 Matt Modicas. It's gonna gonna be a stat centric article 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:41.480 with the Athletic regarding fantasy football. Let's jump right into 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.760 the bells. I had to do that in my gay 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.680 mourency impression. I think kids actually downstairs. I probably should 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:49.760 have just invited him up here and have him ramble 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.160 for an hour about the Buffalo Bills as well. But 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.120 what I mentioned before the break was the key auditions 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.040 here for the Buffalo Bills Cole Beasley. They bring in 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.439 Frank Gore as well. They bring in some off to lineman. 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.960 They get a new center with Mitch Moore's They also 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.360 draft Cody Ford in the second round. Nice little draft 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.959 deal there, so the offensive line should be improved. As 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.680 of now, they are ranked nineteen by Pro Football Focus. 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.080 I want to start off with the quarterback position here, 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:18.520 Matt Modica and Josh Allen. We can all agree that 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.480 Josh Allen has a lot of things that he needs 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:26.199 to work on from a pure quarterback perspective in the NFL. 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:28.640 We know that he has a canon for an arm, 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:32.439 but he does have accuracy issues. Um, he wants to 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.240 throw the ball down the field, but he also has 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:38.160 accuracy issues and that part he can. Honestly, if if 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:39.679 this guy was playing for the Chiefs, that would be 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.200 fun to watch just throw it up to Tyreek Hill NonStop. 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.160 But as I mentioned, uh, they have surrounded him with 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:47.480 some weapons here. You know, they have Robert Foster from 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:50.000 last year who was a I think an adequate deep threat. 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.400 They bring in John Brown, who has experienced at the 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.080 NFL level as a deep threat as well, they bring 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.040 in Cole Beasley as a safety blanket, and they still 0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:01.840 do have Zay Jones on this raw Suster, Matt, how 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:03.959 do you how are you viewing Josh Allen right now? 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:05.960 Because I was talking to a few of the guys 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.719 downstairs in the pit earlier, and I'm looking at my 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.800 quarterback rankings and I have Josh Allen ranked higher than 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.439 some legitimate quarterbacks in the NFL. And I think sometimes 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:20.240 it's hard for fantasy owners to separate real life NFL 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:23.200 quarterback play from fantasy quarterback play. And what I mean 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.559 by that is Drew Brees is not the fantasy quarterback 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:28.360 that he once was. I truly believe that. I think 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.600 the Saints have proven over the past couple of years 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:32.719 they want to play better defense and they want to 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.480 run the football. Tom Brady, I think you could say 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.000 a similar thing for the New England Patriots. And while 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.200 we're on the topic, Russell Wilson, I mean Russell Wilson 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.880 didn't run as much last year. He saw a career 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:46.319 low and pass attempts, And to me, Josh Allen is 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.880 nowhere near the quarterbacks that those guys are at the 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.960 NFL level, But what he can do on the ground 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.720 makes him very, very intriguing from a fantasy perspective. Matt, 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.400 what do you think about Josh Allen. Oh No, he's 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:05.439 He's absolutely intriguing as a fantasy quarterback. The thing is, 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:08.520 I mean he's not a top twelve for me. I'm 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:11.319 gonna be honest. Is he a top fifteen quarterback? You're 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:15.199 basically betting on his legs and not his own. Now, 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:18.800 as you mentioned, they brought in John Brown, who I like. 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.559 I like John Brown. He's had health issues which has 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:26.880 been unfortunate in the past, but I believe a stat. 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:31.040 I think he was fifth in fantasy points per touch 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.719 among wild receivers according to Pro Football Focus last year, 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.760 which is uh a stat I do like to look at. 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.480 But I wish he was the Bill's number two wide receiver, 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.360 not the number one that is gonna be coming into 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.839 So when I look at Alan, yes, Beasley is a 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:51.880 safety blanket, but I mean Cole Beasley is why fifty 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:56.040 receptions maybe five yards? You know, that's like the high 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.800 end of his output that you're looking at. Robert Forster 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:03.640 is the intriguing one here as a lottery pick or 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:07.480 a guy that could be a waiver wire boom for 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.599 the fact that he does stretch the field. And Alan's 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:14.880 best attribute is throwing the ball deep. He's a much 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.760 better deep throw than he is he really has. He 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:22.560 really struggles throwing the past that every NFL quarterback needs 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.839 to be able to make the short intermediate passes. And 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.840 I'm gonna I'm hoping that, you know, we see the maturation. 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:31.800 But my main question would do you have him for 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.800 over under six hundred yards? Is he gonna rush for 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:38.160 more six or more touchdowns? When these are questions you 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.200 have to ask yourself, Yeah, that's going to be how 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:45.600 ultimately he returns. His fantasy value is on the ground 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.800 and the ability to you know, rush for over six 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:50.959 hundred yards like Matt mentioned, and you know, if he 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.800 can add five six touchdowns on the ground. I just 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:57.040 think the way that I watched him play was last season. 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.440 He has to get better at going through his aggressions. 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:02.160 I mean, there's no doubt about that. But if his 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.280 first read was covered most of the time, he was 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.319 just taking off and running and he was making plays 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.319 with his legs and he was making awesome plays at that. 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.199 I mean, I know everyone's going to remember this play 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.520 from last year against Minnesota Vikings where he legitimately hurdled 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:16.640 a defender that was coming at him. Like these are 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:20.520 things that Alvin Kamara does like the most frequently athletic 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.320 running backs in the league. Josh Allen did that last year. 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.440 So the athleticism is real for him. There's no doubt 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:28.640 that he has to get better in terms of going 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.640 through his progressions and you know, not panicking and standing 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:33.280 up right in the pocket. A lot of that comes 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.400 out to his offensive line, which I do think will 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.240 be improved this year for the Buffalo Bills. But we 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.080 did see some progress last year. The offense under Brian 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.720 Dable got off to a really really slow start. They 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.280 average just ten points seven points per game and two 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:50.640 hundred eighty eight yards per game in there in their 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.320 in their first ten games of the season, first nine 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.800 games this season their final seven games, those numbers went 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.080 out to twenty four points, seven points and three hundred 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.440 sixty three yards per game. And I got these stats 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:05.640 of per Sports illustrated in eighteen, Josh Allen average ten 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.520 point nine nine air yards per attempt that was top 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.480 in the NFL. Alan had a deep pass rate to 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.440 find as passes that traveled more than fifteen yards in 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:18.960 the air percent of the time. That also led the NFL. 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.800 So that just kind of works itself back into what 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.720 we said. This guy wants to throw the ball deep 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.640 and if it's not open right away, he's probably gonna 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.160 take off and make plays with his legs. As you mentioned, 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:32.560 and as you know, we're gonna continue to talk about 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:36.040 here with the pass catchers, they tried to get Antonio Brown, 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.680 Like we all remember it. It was that late breaking 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.280 news on like a Thursday night. We're all tweeting freaking 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:45.640 out Antonio Brown. You know. Uh. He rebutted that very 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:47.960 quickly on Instagram. He said, no, I'm not going to Buffalo, 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.240 just straight up, I'm not going to Buffalo. I remember 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.200 when Jordan Matthews was in Buffalo. He said, look, there's 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.480 nothing to do there except make babies. So I guess 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:57.320 that's why Antonio Brown didn't want to come. But they 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.200 tried this Buffalo for office. They tried and Ultimate Lee. 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.920 I think that they surrounded Josh Allen with you're right, Matt, 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.520 they don't have a number one wide receiver per se. 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.000 But they have a lot of guys that can do 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:13.120 things that are good for Josh Allen skill set. Like 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.920 when you have Robert Foster and John Brown on the outside, 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.720 those are two legitimate deep threats that can take the 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:23.200 top off of defense. And when it comes to Cole Beasley, 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.840 while he's not gonna be a world beater for fantasy, 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:28.280 I mean, he's a solid safety blanket. So you know, 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.440 as we talked about him going through his progressions and 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:32.840 if you know, he was looking for the deepoll or 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:34.840 something down the field and it's not available. At least 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.560 he has some of those safety valves now available with 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:41.400 a Cole Beasley and a Zay Jones. Uh. So, I 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.320 think that while the Bills tried to go out and 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:46.640 make a splash and getting Antonio Brown, they did everything 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.080 they could. I think they recovered pretty well in terms 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:51.840 of trying to surround him with the best weapons. Is 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.240 that something that you would agree with, Matt, You know, 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.360 I agree to the fact that they didn't make the attempt. 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.040 Uh when the player doesn't want to go there, you 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:04.879 could do. I would choose Hollywood over Buffalo in most instances, 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:08.720 maybe football wise, I might have went the opposite way here, 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:12.879 but maybe that's my bias. But I mean, for me, 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:18.480 I'm just looking at it. Where the Bills it's it's 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:22.119 it's really the offensive line here. Can the news center, 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.960 Can the draft pick? Can these guys step in and 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:28.440 gel because I think they do have upside there. I'm 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:30.000 just not sure if it's all going to come together 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.520 this season. Yeah, we shall see. I thought it was 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:34.280 a really good job though. Again, bringing in a veteran 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:36.680 center like that's something I wish that the Jets would 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:38.639 have done something that they should have done. They had 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:40.760 money to do it. Maybe that's part of the reason 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.320 why Mike mccagnet is no longer the general manager of 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.080 the Jets. But I think when you have a young 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.680 quarterback like that, you do want a veteran center who 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:49.840 can come in and obviously make calls at the line 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:54.240 of scrimmage and you know, help things so smoothly on 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:55.800 the offensive line. I think that's a good way to 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.119 word it. When it comes to Mitch Morris and the 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:02.680 Buffalo Bills, they're just for some last second stats here. 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:04.359 When it comes to Josh Allen in terms of his 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:07.520 rushing from Week twelve, on last year. After the bye, 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:11.880 he was not a QB one v QB one last 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:15.280 year in fantasy points per game, only eight passing touchdowns, 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:19.040 seven interceptions. That was in a six game stretch. He 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.679 averaged nine rushing attempts for games, seventy nine point three 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:25.760 rushing yards per game. That pro rates to almost rushing yards, 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.480 so we're not expecting that on a weekly basis. But 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:32.600 he did have five rushing touchdowns during that stretch. So 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:35.480 if we could see some of the passing numbers go 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:39.080 up in terms of touchdowns and keep somewhat modest rushing, 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.520 you know, in that fifty forty yard range something like that, 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:45.240 I do think that Josh Allen does have QB one upside. 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.960 We come back, We're going to the pass catchers running 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.440 backs here for the Buffalo Bills, Frank standfle Matt Modica, 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:55.480 the BFFs here on the Fantasy Sports Network from the 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.000 NFL to the NBA.
