Media man MG, Marcus Graham, Well 3 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: outside the Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael Fabriano and Graham Barfields. 4 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: Nothing at all. It's gonna be a quiet It's gonna 5 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: be a quick, quiet show, nothing to talk about. Uh fact, 6 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: we might as have just shut it down and go 7 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: home now. Cool? What was yesterday? Not the most fun 8 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: offseason day that you can remember? Know, the Antonio Brown 9 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: fake traded the Bills? That was fun, right, Thursday night 10 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: was great, followed by Friday night when he actually got traded. 11 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: We'll get to old. Oh yeah, and Antonio Brown blocked 12 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: me on Twitter and then I got destroyed by the 13 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: Bills mafia for some damn reason not on alive. So 14 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: uh what do they treated you like a flaming folding table? 15 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: This is what they did? Okay? Um, yeah, look, I 16 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: we normally do a new segment. The whole thing is 17 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: going to be a new segment today, folks, because that's 18 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: pretty much just everything that has happened over since we 19 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: last spoke to you, uh last Wednesday. There's been a 20 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: whole lot and going on. So we're pretty much gonna 21 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: get to that. But before we get to that, as always, 22 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: we go behind the glass to talk to our faithful producer, 23 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: Senior Edward L. Murphy. How how are you? How are 24 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: you feeling today? Man, this has to be the absolute 25 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: saddest episode I've ever done or ever will do. Um. No, 26 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: no matter how many hugs Graham will give me, probably 27 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: won't take away the pain. I saw you needed one. Man. 28 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: I gave you a little hug this morning before we 29 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: walked in. Um, I'm really sorry, I I there's I mean, 30 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: We're all on the same page here. I'm not going 31 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: to fight this one saying there, oh there's a plan 32 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: in place like this, it's it stinks. And really, as 33 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: a fan, and I'm sure you guys experienced a little 34 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: with your teams at some points, it's like when you 35 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: see a guy you're always rooting for, a guy who 36 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: you think is part of this core, a guy that 37 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: could be you know from his stats right now when 38 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: you look at his full career when it's also done, 39 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: could be one of the best, if not the best. Um, 40 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: It's just it's a it's really really upsetting to not 41 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: trust the powers that be that run the organization. And 42 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: you're just like in this waste land of we don't 43 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: know where you're going. You're in flux, and it's just like, 44 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: what is what's the direction? How do you root for 45 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: this team on Sundays? It's it's very, very frustrating. I 46 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: do feel bad for you. The pause gave me away. 47 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: I'm a Tristate Area Cowboys fan and I hate the Giants, 48 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: so I'm loving life right now. Sure you are, but um, 49 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: it's not like the Cowboys have any money to spend 50 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: on free agency, at least we haven't at this point. 51 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: But man, when when that when that broke, I was like, Wow, 52 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: get him in. Number one is going to get destroyed 53 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: even more than he had already been getting destroyed because 54 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: of the wall situation. And um, although Mike Francessa was 55 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: loving it. If you're a fan of Francessa, he's been 56 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: telling everyone who listened that the Giants had trade O 57 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: b J. Now he's gonna be h pounding his chest 58 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: to there. Yeah, It's it's kind of been interesting because 59 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: I think the fans as a whole are sort of 60 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: frustrated and angry, understandably, so I get the sense a 61 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: lot of media types in New York or sort of 62 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: start trying to stick up for Gettleman on this, and 63 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: I'm when you can side with New York media, you know, 64 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: you're always on the right side. Yeah, there are there 65 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: are definitely some that are not. They're trying to be 66 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: nicer to the organization than they have to be, which 67 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: is confusing. There's a select few that that do go 68 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 1: at them and say it. You know, what they're doing 69 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: is cent wrong for guys like Frances who are saying 70 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: to trade Beckham people, anyone that thinks that Beckham was 71 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: the problem, Like I get it, like the whole proposing 72 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: to the net and that the guy is emotional, But 73 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: there's not a single person that would deny how hard 74 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: he was a worker and how talented he was, Like 75 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: you need a guy in the team like that, especially 76 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: as a franchise that once had Lawrence Taylor, who you 77 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: could argue it's not I mean, it's not even argument 78 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: that he was a more destructive force then Odell was 79 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: off the field. So uh, it's just it's a bad time. 80 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: It's a dark time. Yeah. Well so I guess they 81 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: just let's let's just get into it. Obviously, you know, 82 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: we we have kind of dancing around it. You probably 83 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: no by now unless you've been living under a rock 84 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: for the last twenty four hours or so. But Odell 85 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. Has been traded from the New York Football 86 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: Giants to the Cleveland Football Browns. Um they Cleveland and 87 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: f Browns. Now they might be it might be. Are 88 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: they having a parade? They might have a parade? I mean, look, 89 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: I saw videos of guys in Cleveland just out on 90 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: street corners, like shouting joyously in sky I was tucking 91 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: to miss when it happened, and he said, it's like 92 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: the greatest day ever. And this is a guy who's 93 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: like one championships and headlined WrestleManias. This was the greatest 94 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: day ever. Yeah. So, I mean the compensation, it's it 95 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: kind of twists and turns. There are some draft picks. 96 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: It also involves Olivier Vernon and Kevin zeitlerge Bill Jabril 97 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: Peppers goes from Cleveland to New York. What do you 98 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: guys think of the compensation. I think it's extremely extremely 99 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: light and extremely extremely short. And the Raiders got a 100 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: three and a five, or gave a three and a 101 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: five for that's a that's a different situation because they 102 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: were basically just eating contract. Y're they're trading for a 103 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: twenty six year old receiver who is the best youngest 104 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: receiver to enter the league since Randy Moss. I mean, 105 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: you know what when it's the new hotness because the 106 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: NFL is the copycat leagues, well, apparently giving up an 107 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: elite wide receiver talent while financially hamstringing your team and 108 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: getting pennies back in return, that's just that's just the 109 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: thing to do now. So so Odell Beckham over the 110 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: last basically since he entered the league, and since two 111 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: thousand fourteen, Beckham ranks fifth and receptions thirty yards and 112 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: second touchdowns per game. The Giants now have to pay 113 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: him over twenty million dollars and dead money over the 114 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: next two years just to get him off their books, 115 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: and they again traded the most productive youngest receivers into 116 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,239 Speaker 1: the league sincere For the fans who don't understand, explain 117 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: dead money. Dead money is money that is owed on 118 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: the Giants basically on the players contract. They were a 119 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: player who's not on the team anymore. It's guaranteed money 120 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: that's owed to the player regardless of whether or not 121 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: he is on the team or not. So since Odell 122 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: Beckham was traded, he has over twenty million dollars guaranteed 123 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: from the Giants on his contract that they owed him. 124 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 1: Browns are going to pick up another portion of the 125 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 1: contract and over time they will eventually extend him. But 126 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: Eddie and I were talking about it this morning. If 127 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: the Giants were gonna ever trade Odell Beckham, why the 128 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: hell didn't they do it last year? Why extend him 129 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: now for him last year and then trade him now 130 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: because now you're gonna have to eat this twenty two 131 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: over million dollars in the next couple of years and 132 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: you get less compensation for it. Sure, and that that 133 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: makes you think what else was really going on that 134 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: they signed him to this. Gettleman goes out and says 135 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: a couple a week ago that they didn't signed him 136 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: to trade him, and then they go and trade him anyway, 137 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: So it's like, what what is the real story here? What? 138 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: Like when is this going to come out? And we're 139 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: gonna find out, Okay Beckham was really that bad up 140 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: the field. Gettleman never meshed with them, like what again, 141 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just at awesome so so we will 142 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: and I'm sure this will be discussed ad nauseum. Uh. 143 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: Stay tuned to NFL Network because I'm sure they will 144 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: continue to talk about the trades and everything there. And 145 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: we've been killing the coverage, folks. We are going to 146 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: be talking about it from a fantasy perspective. So obviously, 147 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: oh b J goes to Cleveland, we know he's going 148 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: to continue to be a target monster. He is with 149 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: his bff Jarvis Landry now they get back together again 150 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: from their days at L s U. And I guess 151 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: my first question is, FABS, what does this mean for 152 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry. It's going to be hard, I think for 153 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: him to occupy the same space in the offense that 154 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: he did before. Well, and I mean if you look 155 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: at what he did last season, especially in the second half, 156 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: he was a massive disappointment for fantasy owners, and we 157 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: all sort of expected that touchdown regression, uh compared to 158 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: the season before where he had a season career high. 159 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: So now I see him as probably more of a 160 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: three than a two in a PPR league. I mean, 161 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,679 Speaker 1: he's still gonna get his opportunities. But Odell Beckham Jr. 162 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: Doesn't move for me. He was five. He's gonna remain five, 163 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: whereas Antonio Brown moved from two down to six. Not 164 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: a huge loss in value, but at loss in value 165 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: because everything everything goes the way Avoidel Beckham Jr. In 166 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: this deal upgraded, quarterback talent around him upgraded. And this 167 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: is a guy who is going to see plenty of 168 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: opportunities and he's going to be a red zone monster 169 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns. Uh Okay, So then we were 170 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: we were talking about this before we we came on 171 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: and started recording. Uh, Graham Baker, Uh you know, big show. 172 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: I think, without a doubt he becomes a QB one 173 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: for sure. The question is how far up are we 174 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: moving Baker Mayfield. We had some internal discussions just briefly 175 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: before the show. I haven't decided where I'm gonna put 176 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: Mayfield next season, but I mean he was the QB 177 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: ten last year once Freddie Kitchens took over as the 178 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: offensive plate caller, and from weeks nine to week seventeen, 179 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: Mayfield trailed only Patrick Mahomes and yards for pass attempt 180 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: at eight point six. I moved them up to six. 181 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,719 Speaker 1: I think that's probably the right range. Man, Like I 182 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: got him at six Beckham really is worth that much 183 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: the Giants over the last two years. Unfortunately, because Beckham 184 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: dealt with so many um lower with leg proms, he 185 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: obviously heard his ankle and heard his leg last year, 186 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: we have sixteen games to view, you know basically what 187 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: Beckham meant to the Giants, and in that sixteen games, 188 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: the Giants scored six and a half fewer points per game. Um, 189 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: he is just I mean, he's literally legitimately one of 190 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: the few difference makers in the NFL. And Um Mayfield 191 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: was freaking awesome as a rookie in thirteen games, broke 192 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: the rookie touchdown passing record, and now he gets again 193 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: the best young receiver in the NFL. And on all 194 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: in And it's seriously all in on the Browns. I mean, 195 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 1: it's really the offense that that they've put together is ridiculous. 196 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: Baker coming off a very good rookie season, Nick Chubb 197 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: looking like a stud, and of course then you bring 198 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: in Kareem Hunt at some point during the regular season 199 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: once he uh comes back from the expected suspension. Oh 200 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 1: b J Jarvis Landry Uh and Joko Antonio Ka, I mean, 201 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: the list goes on and on. Baker has a glut 202 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: of talent around him. The Brons have really put themselves 203 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: in a position where they are now the favorites in 204 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: the a f C North, and they're likely going to 205 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: be considered one of the favorites in the a f 206 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 1: C right alongside the New England Patriots. And we're talking 207 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: about the offense because this is a fantasy football show, 208 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: they've done some really good work on the defensive side 209 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: of the football. To this team is legit, This team 210 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: is for real. This team is gonna be on national 211 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: television quite a bit, and it's gonna be a lot 212 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: of fun to watch, whether or not you like the 213 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: Browns or not. Browns are gonna be explosive in pass 214 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: offense and they're gonna be able to rush the passer. 215 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: That's that is the key winning in the NFL. Now 216 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: back to the New York side of this whole thing. 217 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: Um uh, look Eli, No one was drafting Eli. No 218 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: one is certainly drafting Eli. Now. Um the first question is, though, 219 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: what does this mean for sa Kwan? Because you know, my, 220 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: my my immediate reaction yesterday when this happened and I 221 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: tweeted this out was that, like, you know, if you 222 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: didn't believe that se Kuan was the first overall picked 223 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: before believe it now really thinking back and look, I 224 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: don't know that I'm gonna back off of that, but 225 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: there is still the idea of man, if I'm a defense, 226 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about anybody else. I'm not worried about Eli. 227 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about Sterling Shepherd or Evan Ingram that not, 228 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: not in any real serious way. I'm gonna say, you know, 229 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: what makes say Kwan beat me? I think he's gonna 230 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: get eleventy billion touches coming up this season, but I 231 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: do wonder, um, maybe are we is there reason I 232 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: guess I should say to be concerned about what he's 233 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: gonna face next year. I think that there's two things 234 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: that could still happen here. Of course, the Giants could 235 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: move up. They could use THEE pick and the six 236 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: pick to move up in the draft and ostensibly take 237 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray or Dwayne Haskins. So if Murray is the quarterback, 238 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: Haskins the quarterback, We're definitely having a different conversation in 239 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: a couple of months. But with Eli manning back there, um, 240 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: as long as Eli keeps just you know, dumping off 241 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: you know, checkdowns on second and third down and not 242 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: being able to throw the ball downfield against pressure and 243 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: just dump the ball off to Barkley. I don't see 244 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: why this changes too much of anything with him. If anything, 245 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: I think it limits the Giants scoring opportunities because Beckham 246 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: is such a field uh, such a field swapper. Um 247 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: I I agree with you. Um, if it's my one, 248 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: I'm not touching him. I'm leaving him there. If anything, 249 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: it's a few less scoring opportunities. But as long as 250 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: the target chair and obviously the Russian cary total most 251 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: likely remain the same, the Giants are gonna go extremely 252 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: They're going to try to go extremely run heavy this year. Um. Yeah, 253 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: I don't think it changes too Molume is king and 254 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: fantasy football is king getting four fifty touches this year, Dude, 255 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: he's gonna push for He's gonna push for four real quick. 256 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: A breaking news alert. Um Earl Thomas has signed with 257 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. See four years, fifty five million, includes 258 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: thirty two million fully guaranteed. This makes too much sense. Yeah, 259 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: it makes a lot of sense. It makes the wettle 260 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: makes the wettle, Uh makes at getting cut kind of 261 00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: make more sense. Oh yeah, no, I mean definitely they 262 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: filled that in. So it's fine. Ravens. The Ravens stay sharp, man, 263 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: even without Newsom. This is a This is a great poy. 264 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: I tell you, if you're if you're a safety like 265 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: Damarius Randall whose contract is coming up, I gotta be like, 266 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 1: I'm gonna cash in on this because the Safeties they 267 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: made out like bandits over the last couple of days. 268 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: And Uh, as a Cowboys fan, I'm bummed out. But listen, 269 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: I know Cowboys just don't have any money to spend. 270 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: We just don't. And we gotta. We gotta pay to Marcus. 271 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: We gotta pay that because at some point we gotta 272 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 1: pay Zeke and Cooper. So uh, but not a surprise 273 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: here that that Earl Thomas lands with the Baltimore Ravens. Alright, 274 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: so o, b Jenny to Cleveland. We know we know 275 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: how that or we we hope we know how that's 276 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: gonna shake out. The next big one Levian Bell last night, 277 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: UH signs with the New York Tetropolitans. Um also released 278 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: a new album. Did you listen? I have not listened 279 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: to it yet. I gotta say, I didn't listen to either. 280 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: I have not listened to it yet. What's the name 281 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,599 Speaker 1: of it? Like a gamble? Uh, I'm not sure, but 282 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: I do. I was in a group thread less night 283 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 1: with some friends and one of them did go in 284 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 1: there and listen and immediately found that he was going 285 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: to the Jets. I guess the line, and there I 286 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: think there was a line. Yeah, this was always Life's 287 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: a Gamble? Is the name of the album? Thank you? Um, 288 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's. Maybe it's on the SoundCloud it's I 289 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: would guess. Um. So if he has a tweet that 290 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: blows up, look for the next tweet and the thread 291 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: to say, hey, this tweet blew up. Check out my SoundCloud. 292 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: How much fun did Levian have though? With everybody? So 293 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: so now a barmail are pal on NFL Fantasy Live. 294 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: It tweeted out, uh days before Antonio Brown went to 295 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: the Raiders that he was going to go to the Raiders. 296 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: So then he tweets out this cryptic message about Levian 297 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: bell uh flying never more something something, and everyone's thinking, oh, well, 298 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: lock Bar must know something. So I called Doc Bar 299 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: and I said, all right, dude, what's what's the deal. 300 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: I can't tell you, but read the tweet and I'm like, well, 301 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: the tweet suggests he's going to Baltimore nevermore. Ravens right 302 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: ed Garland Poe and um, a Bar says, I can't 303 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: say anything, and I says, okay, well you know, when 304 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: can you let me know? Well? A Bar had knee 305 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: surgery yesterday. And then at one point, and I got 306 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: fooled for about thirty seconds, somebody tweeted out fake ak 307 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: Bar that Levian belt of the Ravens and gave gave 308 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: some numbers, and I immediately sent a message back and said, 309 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: look at you breaking news again. And then I saw 310 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: it was a fake account and I deleted it. Then 311 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: I thought, wait a minute, Opars having surgery today. Why 312 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: would he be tweeting before his curgery? Although he might, 313 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. And then Levian tweeted out and said 314 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: spill the beans to ak Bar, but ak Bar was 315 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: under the knife so he wasn't gonna spill anything. And 316 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: then last night I talked DC bar on on text 317 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: and um, you know, once Levian ended up going to 318 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: the Jets, it's a good move for his fantasy value. 319 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: I just mentioned volume is King that Jets are gonna 320 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: lean on this kid hard hard, Okay, and you can 321 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: mentioned the questions about the Jets offensive line. Uh, they 322 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: did make one edition, so hopefully that's going to help them. 323 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: But from a volume perspective, Levian Bell, I believe is 324 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: my seventh running back and he's going to remain there. 325 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: The volume is going to be massive. He's gonna get 326 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: a lot of touches. The Jets are gonna lean on 327 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: him to help Sam Donald in terms of his development, 328 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: and the Jets added some pieces. I mean, Levian Bell, 329 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: big one, Jamison Crowd. I think could be an under 330 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: the radar sort of play. If you look at the 331 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: numbers last year, of the top sixteen quarterbacks who targeted 332 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: to slop the most, two of them were Jets, Donald 333 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: and Josh McCown. So they like to throw the ball 334 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: in that spot. Robby Anderson is going to be back, 335 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: Chris Hernon is going to be back. After his rookie season, 336 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: which was, uh, it was successful. He showed some flashes. 337 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: So suddenly the Jets are going to be a team 338 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: that that's got a heck of a lot more fantasy 339 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: value than we've seen in a while. And you want 340 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: to kind of get back to that point about Jamison 341 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: Crowder in just a second, because people will talk some 342 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: wide receivers to a little bit later on this podcast. 343 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: But so you've got lev As You're wife are you're 344 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: running back seven? So he still seven, he stays outside 345 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: your top five. Yep, I've got him at seven to Okay, yep, okay, yeah, 346 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: I've got him. I would assume you have Melvin Gordon 347 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: six and then the big five. Yes, yeah, I've got 348 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: se kwan Zeke. I moved Alvin Kamara up to three, 349 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: McCaffrey four, Girly five, Gordon six. Yeah. I think you 350 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: could make an argument for maybe moving Girly past Bell 351 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: right now with the knee issue. But yeah, I'm waiting. 352 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we have a whole off season. I don't 353 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: know what's going on. You know, c J hasn't resigned. 354 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 1: We're not sure what's going on there. So right now 355 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: I have Girly tentatively at five. Yeah. The Collecchio as 356 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: similar trade earlier this week turned out to be huge 357 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: obviously for the Jets, and they were they were hoping 358 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: to get Paradise too, and then he ended up flying 359 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: the coope going to Carolina. So yeah, so assembly last 360 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: year was played way less than under percent. He was 361 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: dealing with a knee injury all year, but he was 362 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: a top fifteen guard in each season in PFF's guard 363 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 1: metrics for four straight years. Um, the Jets had one 364 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: of the worst offensive lines in the NFL last year. 365 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: I think they were had the fifth, fourth, fourth, or 366 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: fifth fewest yards before contact Bretent anyway, I mean, yeah, 367 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: that was gonna get snaps. He's gonna see targets pretty easily. 368 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: And uh, I mean I think we can kind of 369 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: just roll with it here. Um. Alright, So the other 370 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: big one, obviously, Antonio Brown are the Raiders, right we 371 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: we kind of joked about it. Thursday night, Twitter blew 372 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: up because it looked like he was going to the Bills. Uh, 373 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: then that didn't happen, and then one night later it 374 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: turned out that he's going to the Raiders. Um. By 375 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: the way, I can stop calling him milk Mustache now 376 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: because he's gone back to his natural mustache color. Thank you. 377 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: I appreciate that, a b um. But Okay, so obviously 378 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 1: he's out of Pittsburgh, he's in Oakland. It's a different offense. 379 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: It's a different quarterback. Where where I know you? You 380 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: know you are constantly kind of tinkering with your rankings. 381 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: Where do you have Antonio Brown? Now? I dropped in 382 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: the six not out of my top ten, which is 383 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 1: where he would have been if he ended up in Buffalo, 384 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: which is maybe why he blocked me on Twitter and 385 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 1: why the Bills fans went after me a little bit. 386 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: But hey, the truth is the truth. Facts as facts. 387 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: So it's a downgrade because no matter where he went 388 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: outside of Green Bay, which is pie in the sky, 389 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: he was going to see a down grade value. I'm sorry, 390 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: that's just the way it was gonna be. He was 391 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: in a great situation in Pittsburgh. Uh. For the last 392 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: five or six years. What he's had five straight top 393 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: five finishes. Uh. In PPR leagues. The guy is gold. 394 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: He's awesome, and John Gruden is gonna feed him the football. 395 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: You're looking at a hundred and sixty plus targets this 396 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 1: season if he stays healthy. But here are the facts. Okay. 397 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: You go from an offense that averaged the most passing 398 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: attempts per game to an offense that averaged tied for sixteenth. 399 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: You go from Ben Roethlisberger who's a Hall of Famer, 400 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: to Derek Carr, who's got potential but hasn't really made 401 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: that potential work in the NFL outside of maybe one season. 402 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: You've got a situation where you've got a wide receiver 403 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: who's coming off of a fifteen touchdown season. Regression is 404 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: going to happen. I would project him on the high 405 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: end for maybe yards and ten touchdowns, and I wouldn't 406 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: be surprised if he gave you somewhere around twelve and eight, 407 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: which is wide receiver one totals. But it's not top five. 408 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: And for the first time in a long time, an 409 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: Tonio Brown does not deserve to be a first round 410 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: pick in fantasy draft. I'm even a little bit lowerroun Brown. 411 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: I have him initially at wide receiver nine. Um. Look, 412 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: I mean, Derek Carr has never finished above leak average 413 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: in yards per pass attempt. Um. These are facts. Derek 414 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: Carr has never been an above average and of a quarterback. 415 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: An Tonio Brown might make him one. I really hope 416 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 1: he does. Could be. It's good for his value, but 417 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,479 Speaker 1: he's got to prove it. But big Ben is freaking awesome. 418 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I know big Ben has been a locker 419 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: room problem. We don't discussed on discussed that. But on 420 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: the field, I mean these two been in a B 421 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: were electric. Big Ben has finished top thirteen in y 422 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: P A and sixth straight seasons. And like you mentioned, 423 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: fabs Um, Oakland is significantly less pass heavy than the Steelers. 424 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: The Steelers passed the ball sixty seven percent of the 425 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 1: time last year, that lead the NFL. The Raiders were 426 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: far more a balanced, they were pass heavy. Um anyway 427 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 1: you slice it. Yeah, this is a pretty big downgrade 428 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: for Brown. UM. But of course, I mean he's gonna 429 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: be a target HOUG. He's gonna see percent of the 430 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: team's targets, and I think that should be enough to 431 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: keep him in the top twelve wide receiver. One conversation 432 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: in BBRU, I know that we we've said. I think 433 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people have kind of said and hoped 434 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: that having Antonio Brown maybe makes Derek car a different quarterback. 435 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: I don't think it does. And because you can I 436 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: when I go back to the fact that he had 437 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: a Mari Cooper there, right, and Amari Cooper, while you 438 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 1: certainly not, Antonio Brown is still a good receiver, is 439 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: a deep threat. I mean we saw what he did 440 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: when he left Oakland and went to Dallas, and how 441 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 1: much he became a playmaker there. I just don't know 442 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: that suddenly Antonio Brown putting on silver and black makes 443 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: Derek carry a different guy than we've seen the first 444 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: few You know what happened to Mr Cooper when he 445 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: left Oakland and Derek Carr became a Fantasy star. He 446 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: became a better player. He became the player that we 447 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: thought he was gonna be coming out of se So 448 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: a couple of things on this and I made this 449 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: point on Twitter. Um a couple of days ago with 450 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: the Mark Cooper in Derek carrs he left Sleep, went 451 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: to Dak Prescott. Um, everything increased his targets per game. 452 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: You know, he went from seven point six with Car 453 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: to eight point for Dak Prescott. But he was way 454 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: way more efficient on a per route basis, in terms 455 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 1: of yards game per route run UM. His receiver, his 456 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: alignment basically didn't change. He stayed out wide eighty percent 457 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 1: of the time in this slot twenty percent of time. 458 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: That didn't change. Um. Yeah, man, like Cooper in Dallas 459 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: had seven games with sixty yards and or a touchdown 460 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: and eleven and eleven contest, and he did that eight 461 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: times in his final twenty. Everything increased, targets, receptions, yards, touchdowns, 462 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: fantasy points, every mark increased when he left. Look Almark 463 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: Cooper is always going to be a frustrating and inconsistent player. 464 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: I just think that's who he is. But we have never, 465 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: we never once really doubted how physically gifted he was. 466 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: And he just needed to get away from Derek Carr 467 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: and Oakland to truly succeed. And I hope, I hope 468 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: he keeps it up. But yeah, that's that's a good 469 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: final point, man, And that's I think that's that's I 470 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: think a lot of people are kind of missing the 471 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 1: boat on that is like a be is freaking awesome. 472 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: It's one of the three best receivers to ever live 473 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 1: and ever play this damn game. But Derek Carr is 474 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: I mean, he is who he is at this point, 475 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: Like he's not gonna just he's he's not gonna suddenly 476 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: turn into Patrick Mahomes just because he's got now again. 477 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. It's the same conversation we just had with 478 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: Barkley and Eli. If the Raiders decide they want to 479 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: get haskinser Murray, we will change the tone Murray is 480 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: thrown passes D'Antonio Brown, then I mean, I'll be pretty close. 481 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: But it's Derek Carr and it's just and it's Jon Gruden. 482 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: It's just kind of like, yes, he might see undernated targets, 483 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: but it's really hard to get excited about the other 484 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: details of this office. And also keep in mind too, 485 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: like Antonio Brown is going to an offense where he's 486 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: not protected like Pittsburgh had Juju Okay and and Bell 487 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: underneath Row. I mean, he's not protected there in Oakland. 488 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: And maybe they're not done making moves. I don't know. 489 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: But if you think Jordy Nelson is going to protect 490 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: you're insane this And Jared Cook's a free agent right now. 491 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: So this is a great point, fous, because Gruden, are 492 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: we really true Stin Grewden to be able to move 493 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: in Tonio Brown and like get him in the right 494 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: situation to succeed. Are we really trusting and John Gruden 495 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: to know to put Antonio Brown in the slot so 496 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: he can run against interior defenders and poor cornerbacks, Like 497 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: I don't I don't trust John Gruden know those things. 498 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: I don't trust John Gruden to know and get Antonio 499 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: Brown in the right situations to succeed and not see 500 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: double coverage on fiftent of his not not fifty percent 501 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: of his stuns, but a good portion of his snaps. 502 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: I don't trust him. Uh So we'll see what happens 503 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: there back in Pittsburgh. Obviously, this this opens some things up. 504 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: Now at the wide receivers spot, right, Jujuice Smith Schuster 505 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: moves up to from the number two to the number one. 506 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: James Washington likely is the guy who slides into that 507 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: number two spots. Are either of these guys ready for 508 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: this role? I mean I went just briefly yesterday and 509 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: looked at at Juju splits. I mean he didn't play 510 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,479 Speaker 1: a whole lot of games without Antonio Brown. I mean 511 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,679 Speaker 1: the numbers were better, but it's three whole games, so 512 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: you know, and one of the Monster game like two 513 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,199 Speaker 1: seasons ago. I think it was Eveland where he just 514 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: went off. So are we sure he's ready? And getting wrong? 515 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: I love he's an sc guy, but are we sure 516 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 1: he's ready to take on this role next year? Well, 517 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: he's going to see the targets he's gonna see the 518 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: opportunities he's catching passes for Ben Roethlisberger. He clearly has 519 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: a good rapport with Big Ben. Big Ben is going 520 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: to really be looking at him very very often in 521 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: an offense that's going to continue to throw the football. 522 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 1: So those are positives for Juju. The negatives are as 523 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 1: you mentioned, Okay, coverage drawn away from him with Antonio 524 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: Brown in the mix. Now that coverage is going to 525 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: be moving towards him. James Washington has to come in 526 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 1: and prove that he can make an impact and be 527 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: a guy who can potentially help with that coverage issue 528 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: that Juju is going to have now. And we you know, 529 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: we talked about this a lot. I mean, you see 530 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: a guy who produces as a number two who's behind 531 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: an elite number one, the elite number one leaves and 532 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: everyone suddenly thinks, well, this guy is now going to 533 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,719 Speaker 1: be an elite number one. A lot of times that 534 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: doesn't happen. Eric Dickerson was on five yesterday talking about 535 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: how he didn't think Juju was going to be able 536 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 1: to be a number one wide receiver in the NFL. 537 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: There's there's a lot of different opinions on this. I 538 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 1: have Juju in my top ten, why offense big ben opportunities. 539 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: But we're gonna find out, and we're gonna find out 540 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: quick just how well Juju Smith Schuster can adjust to 541 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 1: being a two to being the one facing top corners 542 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: every week. The biggest concern I have is how much 543 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh moves and out of the slot. Um, he ran 544 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: routes from the slot or in tight to the formation 545 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: last year. Um yeah, I mean he's not gonna be 546 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: able to run against in theory, against so many interior 547 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: defenders on so many of his snaps. But um, it's 548 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: more targets the Steelers in the most past heavy team 549 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: and on first downs in the league. I mean it's 550 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: this is gamebusters for Juju in terms of redraft and dynasty. 551 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: I will say, uh, and look, I I don't want 552 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: to you know, I don't want to put this on 553 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: any one guy, but I'm old enough to remember when 554 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: Mike Wallace left Pittsburgh, a lot of people said, is 555 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: an Tonio Brown ready to be a wide receiver? One? 556 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: Obviously he was jus ready, So he's definitely ready. So 557 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: we got a little breaking news. You should be happy 558 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: about this, fat This is what you wanted goes to 559 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. This per Adam Schefter, he had at 560 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: first three years, fifteen million dollars cleaning up. Today it's 561 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: it's it's it's Raven Wednesday, right that dude, I dig it, man, 562 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: I think this is a really good fit because the 563 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,479 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, or they cut Alex Collins, that they had 564 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: three other running backs are free agents and suddenly now 565 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: you've got a guy who comes in and they're gonna 566 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: run the ball at Ton. All right, that's that's obvious. 567 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: Under Greg Roman with Lamar Jackson, the quarterback position Ingram 568 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: is a guy who still got some juice. Okay, I 569 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: get it. He's twenty nine years old, but over the 570 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: first three years in the NFL he was banged up. 571 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: Didn't see a ton of touches for the Saints. So 572 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: suddenly now mark Ingram is right in that RB two conversation. Okay, 573 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 1: he's not gonna be dealing with Alvin Kmarra taking a 574 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: lot of the touches there. He's an RB two from 575 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: a fantasy respective. And let's not forget and Gram you 576 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: mentioned this. He could catch the plot of the back field. 577 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: He's a very versatile running back who's gonna help Lamar 578 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 1: Jackson in his development as an NFL quarterback. I love 579 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: this move for Ingram's value. I'm sorry, guys, I know 580 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: Gus Edwards looked pretty good at the end of the 581 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: last season. Gus Edwards is not a threat to mark 582 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: Ingram's touches. He's a one dimensional running back, whereas mark 583 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: Ingram is a guy who's versatile. So Ingram now is 584 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: going to be moving into my top fifteen. I'm pouring 585 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: one out for Gus Edwards and yeah, having fun Gus Edwards. 586 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: Uh Buck Allen, Um, you know right time. Montgomery is 587 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: a free agent. Of course that Collins has gone. Buck 588 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: Allen is a free agent. So this was this. This 589 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: is a good move. This is a good move both 590 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: in reality and from a fantasy perspective. And it really 591 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: I mean, look, having this here, having this consistent running back, 592 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: I mean it helps everybody in the offense, you know, 593 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: it helps it helps Lamar Jackson. It uh uh, Well, 594 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with their wide receiver group, right, Yeah, 595 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: that that's still a question mark. I just go out 596 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: and draft a bunch of tight ends. That's all. Just 597 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: here the Ravens already have like so it's just just 598 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: you know, get it, guys, a bunch of guys who 599 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: can block and just run a damp all sixty times. 600 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,719 Speaker 1: And the Ravens will not run eleven personnel next year. 601 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: They'll just run strictly twelve and run two tight ends. 602 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: All that's a round sixty of the time. And all 603 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: the um, the Jags, what we all pretty much knew, 604 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: they get their quarterback, Nick Foles, signs a deal for 605 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: eight eight million dollars um. You know, and I know that. 606 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: What I thought was funny is that every article, every tweet, 607 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,239 Speaker 1: pretty much everything that referenced this deal always had the 608 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: phrase super Bowl m v P Nick Foles, as though, 609 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: you know, like look, hey, look, I get it. It's 610 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: a big honor. He had a huge game when the 611 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: Eagles needed it most. Let's also go down the list 612 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: of Super Bowl m vps that I mean, Malcolm Smith 613 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: was the super Larry Brown, Larry Brown of the Bowl 614 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: m v P. I mean, so let's let's not hang 615 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: too much on that title. Um, people have talked about 616 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: Nick Foles as though he is the savior, He's the 617 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: guy who's gonna unlock this offense and make everything great 618 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: down there in Jacksonville and and Graham. I'm just I'm skeptical. 619 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: I'm you know, like there's a reason Nick Foles has 620 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: been a dream and quarterback this long. He was great 621 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: in short stretches for the Eagles. I just I have 622 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: my doubts about him over the sixteen game season too. 623 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean we've seen so many different highs 624 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: and peaks and lows from Nick Foles to the point 625 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: where I mean he was throwing twenty seven touchdowns and 626 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: two interceptions, to the point where he almost retired um 627 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: after the fact with after tip after he left tip Kelly, Yeah, 628 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: we know the jack We know what the Jacks want 629 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: to do. They want to pound the rock. Um. Over 630 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: the last two years, even last year when they had 631 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: extremely down yere on offense, the Jacks ran the ball 632 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: forty eight percent of the time when the scoreboard was neutral. 633 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: That's within eight points and that was the fifth highest 634 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: rate in the league. That does not change under Nick Foles. 635 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: They're gonna pound the rock. They're gonna get their offensive 636 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: lineback healthy, and they're gonna try to pound for net 637 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: um and play good defense. Um folds efficiency was is 638 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: a pretty big upgrade over Blake Portles in terms of 639 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: completion rate, above expectation and pretty much every other metric. Um. 640 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm with you, though, man Like Folds, 641 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: we've just seen him so be so damn and consistent 642 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: in so many different places. Remember, I remember he had 643 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: the twenty seven and two season with the Philadelphia Eagles 644 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: and then eventually he ended up with the St. Louis 645 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: Rams and just I mean, we did nothing right. Foles 646 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: has been in pretty much every offensive ecosystem you could imagine. 647 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: He's gone from the two thousand seventeen Eagles, which was 648 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: probably one of the best offensive ecosystems we've seen in 649 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: modern NFL. Chip Kelly was one of the best systems 650 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and then he played with Jeff Fisher. 651 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: This is kind of somewhere in between, right, and I 652 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: think we'll just get somewhere in between Nick Foles. It'll 653 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: be a fine little player. It will be about slightly 654 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: above average. He'll be a big upgrade over Blake Bortles. 655 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: But other than that, for fantasy like very unlikely, very 656 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: unlikely to be a draftable asset, and most fantasy leagues 657 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: in seasonal draft makes me a little bit happier for 658 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: like d D and Marcus does do anything for their 659 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: wide receivers, Yeah, it makes me a little bit more 660 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: interested in them. And then and maybe like the eleventh 661 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: or twelfth round, it's like some depth options. Is my 662 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: receiver five or receiver six? Um? Other than that, like, 663 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't really do a whole whole lot for this offense. 664 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: This is a run heavy team. Uh speaking of m so, 665 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: like does this does this do anything for Leonard Fournett? 666 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: For you, fe Leonard Fournette Number one needs to stay 667 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: out of the damn trainers room. Number two needs to 668 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: keep his head out of his rear end. I mean, 669 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: those are the two biggest issues for me. The talent 670 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: is there. When four Nett played last season, although it 671 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: was on a limited basis, he was putting up points. 672 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: I mean I had him in a couple of leagues 673 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: and he was giving me twenty points a game. And 674 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: unfortunately then the issues came up. Of course, you missed 675 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: a lot of the season because of the hamstring, and 676 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: then he's got the issues while he's sitting on the 677 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: sideline sulking with t J Yelden. That's not good and 678 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: apparently there was a meeting between him and Tom Coflin 679 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: after the season. Hopefully everything got sort of paved paved 680 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: out and everything is good now. But for Nets, he's 681 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: still the centerpiece of that offense. They're still gonna give 682 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 1: him the football. He's still a young player. That I mean, 683 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: if if Leonard Fournette finished is a top ten running 684 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: back in twenty none of us would be surprised because 685 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: he's got that kind of talent. The problem is durability, 686 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 1: and there there are times when Leonard Fournett has a 687 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: two cent head and that is going to keep him 688 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: probably out of the top fifteen overall picks. At this point. 689 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: I'd project him more as a late second round pick, 690 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: and if he falls into the third round at that point, 691 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: I'm I'm certainly jumping on him. Um good news, Fabs. 692 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: The Cowboys have resigned Jamaez ol Wally. The Cowboys did 693 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: a thing. I'm used to this, Like every year the 694 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: agency has gotten more and more exciting, and Cowboys fans 695 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 1: we kind of sit on our hands and we're like, oh, 696 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: come on, you tried it from Mark Cooper. Sucks. No 697 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: offseason like the free agency forensic stuff there's never anything 698 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: that the cowboys do, and as I mentioned earlier in 699 00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: the show, there's a lot of dudes we gotta pay 700 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: on our own roster, so there you them.

All right, elsewhere it was, 720 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: there's some other signings that maybe weren't quite headlined but 721 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: still have some impact. It was a busy day, actually 722 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 1: busy early period, I should say. And by the way, 723 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: it happened last season to remember, like, oh, it's the 724 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: free agency frenzy. It's happening on this day, and then 725 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: three days later, three days earlier, everything is breaking. This 726 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: is what happens when we have the quote unquote legal 727 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: tampering period, right, like, everything sort of gets done, which 728 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: I'm always like, well, look, I'm like, let's let's just 729 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 1: open free agent, let's just do this now. Then. Um so, yeah, 730 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 1: the the legal tampering period has been very busy, especially 731 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: for the wide receivers. Early on in this thing, a 732 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: number of notable deals the Sean Jackson. Oh, by the way, 733 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: I meant to say too, as as we are recording this, 734 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 1: none of these are actually official. By the time you 735 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,439 Speaker 1: listen to this podcast, a lot of these things will 736 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: have become official because the free agency period will have 737 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 1: officially opened. Uh So, as we record this, none of 738 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: this is official unless somebody pulls an Anthony Barr. Right, 739 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: you know Anthony and Anthony Barr. Thing could happen where 740 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: somebody decides, you know what, maybe not. Uh So, as 741 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: of now, these are all you know, deals that are 742 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 1: agreed upon but not yet officially signed. Uh. DeShawn Jackson 743 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: not a free agent signing, but a trade. They say 744 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: you can never go home again. That's not completely true. 745 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: I guess. Uh. De Sean Jackson goes back to his 746 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 1: first NFL home in Philadelphia. Uh, he gets traded from 747 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the Philadelphia Eagles, and all 748 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: I can say is, fabs, I just hope this. I 749 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: just hope Carson Wentz can throw a better deep ball 750 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,760 Speaker 1: in Jamis Winzon. I know, because that that connection certainly 751 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: didn't pan out, although he was he was better with 752 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. Uh. Strangely enough, so this to me, like 753 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: Deshun Jackson is not going to see this like enormous 754 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: jump in value. I think he kind of is what 755 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: he is. He's a guy who is gonna be very 756 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 1: high variants. He's gonna give you some good games, he's 757 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 1: gonna give you up some more mediocre games where this 758 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: is bigger from the fantasy impact is on Carson Wentz. Now, 759 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz has the field stretcher. He's already got alshon Jeffrey, 760 00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 1: He's also got zach Er. It's arguably one of the 761 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: two tight ends in the National Football League. Now you 762 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 1: give DeShawn Jackson uh to Wentz and if Wentz can 763 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 1: stay out of the trainer's room once again, this is 764 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: a guy who could end up being a draft bargain. 765 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: He's a fringe QP one. Let's not forget what he 766 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 1: did a couple of seasons ago before he went down 767 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: with the knee injury in Los Angeles. This was your 768 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: league MVP. He's not good Desan. Deshan Jackson is the 769 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 1: type of player he's gone. He's been now, multiple different systems, 770 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 1: multiple different teams. Obviously eCos systems are an ecosystems. I 771 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: like that. Uh yeah no. But Deshan Jackson has elevated 772 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: every team he's ever been on. And this is an 773 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 1: even better fit. This is arguably the best in terms 774 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,959 Speaker 1: of just overall team fit. Like you mentioned, Alic Shohn 775 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: is kind of the intermediate guy. Zaccurtz is over the middle. 776 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 1: Get Carson Wentz back healthy, and this thing is it's 777 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 1: pretty sexy. I'm very very excited. I mean the Eagles 778 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,799 Speaker 1: as as much as I hate to say it, I mean, 779 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 1: they're probably the favorites in the NFC. What's amazing, too, 780 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,320 Speaker 1: is is d Jacks is thirty two years old and 781 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,319 Speaker 1: he still has so much juice. He's got a lot 782 00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: of Eight of his fifteen fastest top speeds over the 783 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 1: last three years came in two thousand and eighteen alone. 784 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:07,240 Speaker 1: He is freaking fast, He's I mean, and yet somehow 785 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston could overthrow him. Yea, it was amazing. It 786 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 1: was absolutely amazing. Jamison Crowder and the Fabbs you sort 787 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,240 Speaker 1: of alluded to this one earlier heading to the Jets, 788 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: he gets twenty eight and a half million dollars to 789 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 1: go to New York. A guy who when he is healthy, 790 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: we have seen him be very productive. My first question, though, Graham, 791 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 1: is how do he and Quincy and Noon what co 792 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 1: exists together? Because I wonder whether or not they do 793 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,800 Speaker 1: too much of the same thing. That was my initial 794 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: concern as well. Um, I think this will push Quincy 795 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: and Neon went to the outside and Crowder will become 796 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 1: their full time slot receivers. So we'll get it u 797 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: A three receivers out of Anderson and Noon what and 798 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: then Crowder? I guess maybe swapping in and out of 799 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 1: the slot. If anything, I think this is just a 800 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 1: good move for Sam Donald's development. I'm not going to 801 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 1: be super interested in Crowder and like Shallower, ten or 802 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: twelve team leagues. Um, I don't know. It's just it's 803 00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: gonna be really hard to I think outside of Bell 804 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: feel amazing projecting opportunity for the rest of these past 805 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: catchers because, like you mentioned in nood one crowd or 806 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,360 Speaker 1: kind of do similar things. And Anderson, we saw flashes 807 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: with him with Sam Donald last year, but he's still, 808 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,479 Speaker 1: you know, going to be an inconsistent player. Anderson towards 809 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 1: the end of last season was I mean he was 810 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 1: a league winner because yeah, exactly, because the nature of 811 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: how they use him, they use him as a deep threat. 812 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 1: You know, Donald still has some development to go. Um, yeah, 813 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: I mean it was a fine, this is a great move. 814 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 1: I'm I'm glad the Jets have finally decided to get 815 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 1: some depth a receiver, and um they still have a 816 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: chance to go after some rookies. Uh, Devin Funcius is 817 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: going to Indianapolis he's got a contract worth a maximum 818 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 1: of thirteen million dollars if he hits several different incentives. 819 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,719 Speaker 1: If it never really worked out for him when he 820 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 1: became the number one in Carolina, I feel like him 821 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 1: being the number two in Indianapolis is actually a pretty 822 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 1: good thing for him. I kind of like this move. 823 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 1: Like remember, not last season, but the season before Funcius 824 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 1: became a thing, he was a useful fantasy asset. And 825 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,880 Speaker 1: the last season, uh with the addition of d J 826 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: moorek Ortis, Samuel started to see more opportunities as well. 827 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,360 Speaker 1: If I just certainly fell out of favor in Carolina 828 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: and in Fantasy Land. Now he's a draftable asset. I'm 829 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: not saying that this is a guy who's going to 830 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 1: move up, you know, four or five rounds, but he's 831 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: going to be a player that you can take late 832 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 1: in your draft. And he's he's going to be a 833 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 1: red zone target for Andrew Luck. So I wouldn't be 834 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 1: surprised if he gave you, on the high end, maybe 835 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 1: seven hundred yards and six touchdowns somewhere in that range. 836 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,880 Speaker 1: And it's just another weapon for Andrew Luck, who was 837 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: just tremendous. I'm with you guys. Again, I was really 838 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,919 Speaker 1: surprised to see so many people bash this move because 839 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,840 Speaker 1: the Colts have so much cap spacing, and this is 840 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 1: a low risk move forward risk. It's a one year 841 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: deal that seems heavily incentilated for a player that's about 842 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 1: to turn twenty five years old and he's already been 843 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: the NFL for four years. No, I think this thing 844 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: is fine. I think, you know, the guy that I 845 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: that I would worry about is probably Eric Ebron in 846 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 1: this whole deal. Like, I wonder how much that that 847 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,399 Speaker 1: takes away from him in the red zone. Particularly, There's 848 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: no way he's doing what he did last season. And 849 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: again there's no way regression is going to be coming 850 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 1: for him. One player in Indianapolis who has been a 851 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: winner by doing nothing is Marlin Mack. Marlon, Marlon mac dude. 852 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 1: I mean right now, I mean, the Colts could obviously 853 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,879 Speaker 1: add somebody or draft someone, but right now it does 854 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 1: not seem like they will. I don't because they drafted 855 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: Hemhinz and Jordan Wilkins last season. I don't know if 856 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,799 Speaker 1: they're going to go after another or another would running back. 857 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 1: So Marlon Max, He's coming out of here looking pretty good. 858 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 1: I I like Marlon mac Man, and I like I wonder. 859 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: I do wonder if he was up late last night 860 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: scrubbing through leves and mixed tape to make sure that 861 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:34,840 Speaker 1: you know, he didn't drop a line about going to 862 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 1: the Colts in there or something like that, because yeah, 863 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 1: otherwise that really would have hurt his value. There. The 864 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: Bills made one wide receiver signing that I love. That 865 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: was John Brown. They made another one that I kind 866 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 1: of scratched my head about with Cole Beasley, like, I 867 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 1: don't I don't really know how that works, but I 868 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 1: do like the fact that they're doing something to fix 869 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:57,320 Speaker 1: this offense and you know, maybe potentially boost Josh Allen's 870 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 1: value as as a passer just as a runner. Well, 871 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,279 Speaker 1: what's Josh Allen's best asset? His arm? He can throw 872 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 1: the deep ball, and z Jones has got some speed. 873 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,320 Speaker 1: We know John Brown's got some speed, we know Foster's 874 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 1: got some speed. And then you got that underneath guy 875 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 1: and Cole Beasley, so I know Graham's giving me a 876 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:22,280 Speaker 1: look like what you're saying is right, But Josh Allen, 877 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 1: I mean, And then they signed Frank Gore, the Ageless one, 878 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:30,279 Speaker 1: and between him and Lashawn and Ivory who's probably gonna 879 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,879 Speaker 1: get cut. Their backfield is almost a hundred years old. 880 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,840 Speaker 1: The fact that the fat yes, the fact of the 881 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,720 Speaker 1: matter here. John Brown is probably the most draftable asset 882 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,720 Speaker 1: that the Bills have it wide receiver, a field stretcher. 883 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 1: I felt for you when he didn't go to the 884 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:50,319 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns because I got that's truly so. Um. But 885 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,799 Speaker 1: John Brown, I find it hard to believe that he'll 886 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,799 Speaker 1: put up the numbers in the first half of the 887 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 1: season with the Ravens. Uh last season. Uh, those the 888 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: same kind of numbers in Buffalo next season. My biggest 889 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 1: thing guys here is I have no idea how to 890 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:07,480 Speaker 1: project these targets, no clue. I mean, John Brown, is 891 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: I guess their number one? Um? I mean, but you 892 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,399 Speaker 1: know Foster played well, the Foster Foster can get deep 893 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 1: like like that just mentioned Bolt Beasley. I'm I'm assuming 894 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be involved over the middle. UM. I mean 895 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 1: John Brown last year average your career high seventeen point 896 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 1: seven YPR with yards perception with with Joe Flacco. UM, 897 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 1: I think that can continue with Josh Allen hitting him deep. 898 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: But Allen is just so scattershotting so inconsistent. It's really 899 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: really hard. It's gonna be really hard to really invest 900 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 1: in any of these guys in their passing offense outside 901 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:41,280 Speaker 1: of Josh Allen himself. Uh, these last three wide receiver signings, 902 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 1: I'll run through them and you guys can tell me 903 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 1: which if any of these do anything for you. The 904 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 1: Titans get Adam Humphreys for four years, the Dolphins keep 905 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 1: Devantay Parker for two years, which is kind of baffling 906 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,520 Speaker 1: to me. And the Lions signed Danny Ammon Dola on 907 00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,239 Speaker 1: a one year deal, which I would assume is sort 908 00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,879 Speaker 1: of a prove it deal more than anything, I mean, 909 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 1: any of this, any of this move the needle for 910 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:07,719 Speaker 1: you at all. I mean, Amndola could be sneaky in 911 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,480 Speaker 1: PPR leagues. I don't know if he's anything more than 912 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: a late round pick going in and playing the role 913 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,760 Speaker 1: that Golden Tape slid so well. Why did they trade 914 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 1: Golden Tape? I don't I don't think they know. Gold 915 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,760 Speaker 1: gold Tate is three years younger than Danny A. Mendola, 916 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 1: and he's a significantly better player, and you've got a 917 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 1: third round pick for Tape. Just pay him, Yeah, I 918 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: don't know. It was odd, and it was it was 919 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 1: a bad move for his fantasy value as well. Again, 920 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,320 Speaker 1: I've said it a million times, I wish the Cowboys 921 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,239 Speaker 1: had the money to spend on him because that would 922 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 1: be a great fit. Um. But the the the number 923 00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 1: one fantasy destination for Golden Tate would be if he 924 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 1: ended up with the Green Bay Packers. That would be tremendous. 925 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,359 Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's still out there, still out there. 926 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 1: I had a little bit surprised. We're obviously on day 927 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,399 Speaker 1: three here, there's been like no buzz about Golden Tape, 928 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: not at all. I'm really surprised, not even a little bit. 929 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,799 Speaker 1: So Yeah, I just you know, I wouldn't think that 930 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,880 Speaker 1: his run in Philadelphia would have just created his value. 931 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,640 Speaker 1: I just can't believe that, because he's been he's been 932 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 1: good before that. But you're right, I haven't heard much 933 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,239 Speaker 1: about him at all the way you want to talk 934 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 1: about a guy on the opposite side of the spectrum 935 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 1: whose value is going to just skyrocket through the damn 936 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,359 Speaker 1: roof Chris Godwin, get it up right, we haven't talked 937 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,879 Speaker 1: about that. Chris Godwin has becomes I loved him last 938 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,760 Speaker 1: season and now you it's it's gonna go nuts, guys. 939 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,239 Speaker 1: His value is going to go nuts. Yeah, I mean 940 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 1: he was. He was kind of everybody's favorite maybe sleeper 941 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,400 Speaker 1: last year if you want um, and you now that 942 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,520 Speaker 1: now that the Shawan Jackson is out of there in 943 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,680 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, he he definitely becomes a little bit more 944 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 1: valuable a couple of wide or running back rather signings 945 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:45,120 Speaker 1: to mention Latavius Murray to the Saints. So we've already 946 00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 1: mentioned that mark Ingram, he's officially out in New Orleans. 947 00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: He's a Baltimore Raven Lettavius Murray to the Saints. Um, 948 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess that's nice. He's he's a nice 949 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,400 Speaker 1: he's a nice guy to spell Alvin Kamara. But I 950 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,800 Speaker 1: mean more than you know on a bench flodder, I 951 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,759 Speaker 1: don't know that. I mean he's a late round pick. 952 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 1: He's a very good handcuff and um, this is good 953 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 1: for Camara because he is not going to eat into 954 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,560 Speaker 1: those opportunities like mark Ingram. That's the biggest thing. I 955 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,400 Speaker 1: noted this at the top of the show. The biggest 956 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,640 Speaker 1: thing for me with Kamara is without mark Ingram, last year, 957 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,439 Speaker 1: he averaged thirty three point five routes run per game, 958 00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,319 Speaker 1: and with Ingram that dipped to twenty point four routes runs. 959 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 1: So if we're getting an additional at least twelve to 960 00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:27,960 Speaker 1: fifteen snaps and on the field, that as huge passing up. Yeah, 961 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,440 Speaker 1: I mean, and he's already he's already. Sorry not to 962 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,880 Speaker 1: cut you off, but he's already. You can make the 963 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,279 Speaker 1: argument he's the most explosive receiving threat out of the 964 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,400 Speaker 1: backfield of the NFL. And another twelve to thirteen snaps 965 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:43,120 Speaker 1: right there is I mean, it's humongous. Um. I mean, 966 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 1: the one thing he doesn't have to worry about is, 967 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 1: let's Tavious Moor is not going to catch the ball. 968 00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 1: So that's that's a big, big difference there. Hey, it's 969 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:56,040 Speaker 1: Rod Taylor's coming to Los Angeles. He is uh signed 970 00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,400 Speaker 1: with the Chargers eight two year deal. Um man, man, 971 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:00,920 Speaker 1: he got he surround and now he gets to come 972 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,080 Speaker 1: live out here. I was thinking he might go to 973 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 1: my aunts, that's what I heard. I was hearing that 974 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,759 Speaker 1: Miami might might have an interest. So he comes to 975 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:10,279 Speaker 1: the Chargers. Obviously he's gonna be behind Philip Rivers, but 976 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,880 Speaker 1: it's good to see him still in the league. Uh, 977 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,680 Speaker 1: and finding a finding a situation that you know at 978 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,800 Speaker 1: least will be hopefully productive and good for him. Um So, 979 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,400 Speaker 1: so there's that, uh last little bit of news. Carlos 980 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:25,520 Speaker 1: Hide goes to the Kansas City Chiefs. So, uh, if 981 00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 1: you're picking between Carlos Hide and Damien Williams, where are 982 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 1: you going? It's this was a good move for Damian 983 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,520 Speaker 1: Williams fantasy value. Hide sort of a more one dimensional back. 984 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 1: He's not a great pass catcher. And what did Andy 985 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:41,240 Speaker 1: Reid running backs all have in common, whether it's Lashawn McCoy, 986 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,800 Speaker 1: Brian Westbrook, Douce Staley, Kareem Hunt, they all catch the 987 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:46,919 Speaker 1: ball out of the backfield. Williams is a very good 988 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,960 Speaker 1: ball catcher. And if you look at the numbers in 989 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,279 Speaker 1: the five games that he played, including the playoffs, last 990 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,399 Speaker 1: year as the featured back for the Kansas City Chiefs, 991 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,399 Speaker 1: he averaged almost twenty six PPR points per game. That's 992 00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,160 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley level production. I'm not saying he's to do 993 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,720 Speaker 1: that in twenty nineteen, but he is an RB two 994 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 1: because you put any running back in an Andy Reid 995 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,279 Speaker 1: offense and that running back suddenly becomes very valuable. Now 996 00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,480 Speaker 1: Carlos Hide is a guy that they gave a very 997 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,840 Speaker 1: a very small contract too, and he is not a 998 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,040 Speaker 1: player that I feel like is going to put a 999 00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,840 Speaker 1: major dent into Damien williams touches. I think this is 1000 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,359 Speaker 1: Williams's job. Hide, it's going to come there, come in 1001 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 1: there as insurance. The Chiefs needed insurance because Spencer Where 1002 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,120 Speaker 1: is a free agent. They're right near the bottom in 1003 00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,360 Speaker 1: terms of having cap space among the thirty two NFL teams, 1004 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 1: So maybe they potentially draft the running back for additional depth. 1005 00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,840 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. But right now, Damian Williams is 1006 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,560 Speaker 1: in a very good spot to be the guy in 1007 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,400 Speaker 1: Kansas City, and Carlos Hyde will be drafted somewhere in 1008 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:48,680 Speaker 1: the later rounds if for no other reason then Andy Reid. So, 1009 00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 1: since Carlos Hide entered the league in two thousand and fourteen, 1010 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 1: he is fifty eight out of fifty nine running backs 1011 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:58,040 Speaker 1: in yards perception. He's averaged five point six yards perception. 1012 00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,120 Speaker 1: Only Justin Forsett has been works in that time, just 1013 00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,279 Speaker 1: out of the league. Uh yeah, Hi does not a 1014 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,239 Speaker 1: good pass catcher. This is this is great, This is 1015 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,360 Speaker 1: great for Damian Williams. This is the best case scenario 1016 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,200 Speaker 1: for him. Carlos Tide will come in still a few 1017 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 1: carries on early towns. He's still great after contact. But 1018 00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,359 Speaker 1: unless the Chiefs do something else within their draft, which 1019 00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,279 Speaker 1: I don't think they will. They have so many holes now, 1020 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,680 Speaker 1: especially on along along the defensive line. They don't have 1021 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,600 Speaker 1: DeFord and Justin Houston. Yeah, I don't think the Chiefs 1022 00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:25,040 Speaker 1: are going to go out and get think about an 1023 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,000 Speaker 1: expensive running back. I mean they got they got the 1024 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 1: honey Badger, right, think about the Chiefs. The defense is 1025 00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 1: going to give up points and the offense is going 1026 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,120 Speaker 1: to score points. That Chief's offense is gonna be so 1027 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,920 Speaker 1: fantasy friendly again next season. It's going to be ridiculous. 1028 00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 1: I know, I know Houston is obviously older, but like, 1029 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,319 Speaker 1: I don't understand the basis of the Chiefs last year 1030 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 1: was they want they could rush the passer. And now 1031 00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,960 Speaker 1: they're letting DeFord go and Justin Houston is ostensibly not back. 1032 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,040 Speaker 1: They're gonna give a lot of points to I'm all 1033 00:49:56,080 --> 00:50:00,959 Speaker 1: for it. More points allowed mean more points you gotta score. 1034 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 1: So that is very very true. All right. So that's uh, 1035 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,280 Speaker 1: you know, that's pretty much everything we know right now. Again, 1036 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,720 Speaker 1: these things are still kind of fluid as we're recording 1037 00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 1: this podcast. Again. They become official later on today four 1038 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,799 Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern, one o'clock Pacific. You can adjust the time 1039 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,480 Speaker 1: to wherever you live in this great, big world of ours. Um, 1040 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,680 Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. Of course, we'll be back 1041 00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,400 Speaker 1: next week. They gotta recap a lot of this stuff, 1042 00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:26,840 Speaker 1: and a little quick plug. We will have a Fantasy 1043 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:32,279 Speaker 1: Live Free Agent fallout, frenzy whatever wrap up. That'll be 1044 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:36,560 Speaker 1: on Monday, March eighteen on NFL Network. I wonder what 1045 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 1: is gonna be, just like local lists spell and it'll 1046 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,840 Speaker 1: be j and Antonio Brown. It's like it's gonna be 1047 00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:44,560 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Guys tune in. Yeah, it'll be 1048 00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,239 Speaker 1: definitely a lot of fun to will tune in for that. 1049 00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,120 Speaker 1: And like I said, we'll be back again next Wednesday 1050 00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,680 Speaker 1: to kind of recap everything that has happened. Hopefully by 1051 00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:53,720 Speaker 1: then everything will have calmed down, everything will be set 1052 00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,400 Speaker 1: and then we can focus our sites solely on the 1053 00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,719 Speaker 1: draft and that'll be that'll be a whole lot of fun. 1054 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 1: So there we go. That's it are done.
