1
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: Everybody.

2
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 2: It's Wednesday, May twenty four. Welcome to the NFL Fantasy

3
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: Football Podcast, where I think we've doubled up on our intros.

4
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: It's me and your Maniam G. Marcus Grant, joined by

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 2: Michael F. Florio and Lakwan Jones and the Florio.

6
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: I know this is a football show.

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: I just want to personally thank you and the New

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: York Metropolitans uh for helping the Dodgers who had been

9
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: on the struggle bus for a while, but you were

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: very generous and gifted them both.

11
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: Has a double header on Tuesday, so that was cool.

12
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: Thank you.

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 3: Look the first one, especially like the second game, they

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 3: just lost. The first game, they let the lead. They

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 3: gave up the lead on a bunt single, like to

16
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 3: a guy hitting one hundred. The Mets have blown up.

17
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 3: It's something like six or seven leads something like that,

18
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 3: and like eleven day span. They there's bad and then

19
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: there's creatively finding ways to be bad.

20
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: And that's what.

21
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 4: Are they tanking for? Tua.

22
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: I mean it's sort of the uh what it's the

23
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: line from Moneyball. It's like there's the league, there's fifty

24
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: feet of crap, and then there's us, Like then there's

25
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: the mess. Uh So anyway, I just I want to

26
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: thank you for your generosity. If if they wouldn't be

27
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: they'd be so kind as to give them one more

28
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: just to you know, finish off the series, I'd be

29
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: grateful for that too.

30
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: Man, got me all choked up now.

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: Anyway, we're gonna dive into some rookie ADP numbers via

32
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: the folks over at Underdog with the Best Ball Drafts

33
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: very much in full swing, LaQuan.

34
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: How many Best Ball drafts have you done? So?

35
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I'm liking thirty son man, but wow,

36
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 4: because I've started like literally a month or two ago,

37
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 4: Like I just kind of been going and going and

38
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 4: going just to get the idea of, like, worse exactly

39
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 4: what we're talking about where some of these rookies are going.

40
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I kept I checked the rankings and the ADPs.

41
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: I have not done that many. I probably should step

42
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 2: up my game a little bit more, that's all.

43
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: How many have you done? Florio?

44
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: Uh? Not as many as the qualm, but in double digits?

45
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: Okay?

46
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 3: My my toxic habit is I'll be like I'm bored

47
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 3: and I'll join like three or four slow drafts at

48
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 3: the exact same time, and then like a day later,

49
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: I get annoyed when I get like four notifications that

50
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: I'm on the clock and in four different leagues, and

51
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 3: I'm like, why do I do this all the time?

52
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 3: And then the cycle starts.

53
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 4: It always starts at night when you're just on your phone, Like, no,

54
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 4: it is a couple of slow drafts.

55
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: It's always there.

56
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: You're sitting on the couch, you're like half paying attention

57
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: to something on TV, and you're like, oh, let me

58
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: just do some drafts.

59
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: You know, that's exactly how it happens.

60
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 2: So yeah, but yeah, we'll dive into some of the

61
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 2: rookie ADPs.

62
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: I'll avoid some of the bigger names.

63
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: I mean, Marvin Harrison Junior is where he is, but

64
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: some of the other guys maybe below him, whether or

65
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: not we like their ADP, if it's too high, too low,

66
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: or what have you. And I'm gonna borrow from our

67
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: friends over at the Around the NFL Podcast play a

68
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 2: little game of what's more likely with some scenarios that

69
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: we'll figure out what is more likely to happen this season.

70
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: But let's start with a little bit of news and

71
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: in Baltimore, Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monkin says, if Derek

72
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: Henry gets three hundred carries in twenty twenty four, quote, we're.

73
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: Having a hell of a year. Okay, I mean Florio.

74
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: It's look, we have seen Derek Henry get three hundred

75
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: carries before.

76
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: That is certainly nothing that he can't do. But he

77
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: is a little.

78
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: Bit older, you know, last year he started to kind

79
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: of get banged up a little bit. At what point

80
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: do we worry about Derek Henry getting three hundred carries?

81
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: I think you either need to be worried about it

82
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: now or not at all. Like, there's no like if

83
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 3: this guy gets more than two hundred and fifty car like, no,

84
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: if I draft Derrick Henry, I want him to get

85
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: three hundred carries. The reason I wouldn't I would be

86
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 3: fearful of that is because I think a big talent

87
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: falloff is coming, and then I would be fading him

88
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: right now. So I don't. I have been worried in

89
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: the past about heavy workloads and stuff like that, but

90
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: I've done some digging and there are plenty of running

91
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 3: backs at this age. Not plenty, but there are a

92
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 3: good amount who have finishes RB ones with this amount

93
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 3: of workload and this amount of age on the wear

94
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: and teared like on the tires. For Derrick Henry, they're

95
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 3: all elite, like historic Hall of Fame kind of running backs,

96
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: and that's what Dereck Henry is. So I'm willing to

97
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 3: bet on the talent and the size and everything holding

98
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 3: up for another season here, especially because I think this

99
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: is the first time ever where defenses aren't going to

100
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 3: be coming in and saying we need to stop Dereck

101
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: Henry if we want to beat this team. Because Lamar

102
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 3: Jackson is the reigning MVP, you have to worry about

103
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 3: him running, you have to worry about him throwing. So

104
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 3: we were stacked boxes more running lanes, and then I'm hoping,

105
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: please let these two run the option because it's good

106
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 3: for both of them. But I'm in on Derreck Henry

107
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 3: in round three right now, and in fact, I have

108
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 3: him as my RB seven, so he could jump a

109
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: full round and I'd still be in if you want

110
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: a running back in that range now.

111
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, the Lamar Jackson factor does play into

112
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: this pretty heavily. As Florio mentioned, he is the reigning MVP.

113
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: One of the things the kwan we have always seen

114
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: over the years is that he's obviously going to take

115
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: a number of the rushing attempts. I mean, there are

116
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: multiple reasons we haven't seen a Ravens running back get

117
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: close to three hundred rushing attempts. One is because they've

118
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: had multiple guys there, but one of it is because

119
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson is going to run the football. If if

120
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: Derek Henry gets in the neighborhood of three hundred carries

121
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: this year, does that necessarily impact what Lamar Jackson can

122
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: do and be for about the Ravens and for a fantasy.

123
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 4: Three hundred is a lot, So yes, And knowing that question,

124
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 4: I feel as though, like, well, you couldbine all the

125
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 4: Ravens touches, you know with JK. Dobbins with a Justice

126
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 4: Hill or even you know, Gus Edwards, like you get

127
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 4: up there in the two to eighty range of where

128
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 4: they're still getting production. But I think with the constant

129
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 4: rotation and kind of looks like Lamar putting the team

130
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 4: on his back a lot of times. So I think

131
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 4: this will be a very good year where he could

132
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,119
Speaker 4: be an efficient runner he's always been. I'm just saying

133
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 4: it'll be more effective in spots of where he's always

134
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 4: going to run out of the pocket to extend the plays.

135
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 4: That's constantly going to be a threat. But I think

136
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 4: in the red zone, I think some people might be

137
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 4: a little worried there. But he's never been like a heavy,

138
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 4: you know, quarterback finding a way to rush in the

139
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 4: red zone. I mean, Taysom Hill since twenty eighteen has

140
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 4: more rushing touchdowns inside the ten than Lamar Jackson. Let's

141
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 4: just let that sit for a second. So it's like,

142
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 4: I feel as though this is just going to make

143
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 4: this team operate on a completely more efficient cylinder. With

144
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 4: the running game. You don't have to worry about Lamar

145
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 4: taking a bunch of pounding because you have Dereck Henry

146
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 4: for that. Darren Henry gets beat up a little bit,

147
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 4: then okay, you have Lamar Jackson to run the option,

148
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 4: like Florio said, but still you have to worry about

149
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 4: Lamar's overall as well.

150
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 1: Well. I think that's the hope.

151
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 3: Now.

152
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: I know part of the thinking for Monkin is if

153
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: Henry gets towards that number, it's because we're winning games.

154
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: It's because we're running the football a lot, and we're

155
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: just trying to grind the clock, which all seems well

156
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: and good, but you know, does that mean necessarily that

157
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: we don't see Lamar throwing the football as much, that

158
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: we don't see him running as much as you mentioned,

159
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: uh Lakwan.

160
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: We know they don't use him near the goal line.

161
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: They never have. They certainly aren't going to now that

162
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: they have Dereck Henry.

163
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: They're not gonna have, you know, this big behemoth back

164
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: there and be like, hey, Lamar, you want to go

165
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: dive in, let's push push you in the end zone.

166
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: Like it's just not gonna happen. And maybe I'm just

167
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 2: like overthinking this a little bit, right. It could just

168
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: be that everything's going to be sort of status quo

169
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: and instead of having two guys split, you know, one

170
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty get one hundred and fifty carries each,

171
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: it's just one guy who takes most of it. But

172
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: it was that sort of jumped out at me, by

173
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: the way. I don't know if you saw Lamar's best

174
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: shape of his life. He's dropped some weight and get that.

175
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: I get that. Now he's faster now.

176
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 3: He might be because he has been slower the last

177
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 3: I think part of it is slower, like, yeah, he yes,

178
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: he's still Lamar Jackson and he could still run a bunch,

179
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 3: but like he hasn't put up those twenty nineteen rushing numbers,

180
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: his his top speed has declined a little bit. And

181
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 3: we've actually seen him get caught from behind now, which

182
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 3: you never saw back in the day. But I think

183
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 3: Derek Henry opens up a whole bunch for Lamar Jackson

184
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 3: as a runner as well, because now if you do

185
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: stack near the line of scrimmage, Lamar could beat you

186
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: out wide and then that's where his speed comes into play.

187
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 3: And if you're loading up near the line of scrimmage,

188
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 3: now he can beat you downfield on one on one

189
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 3: coverage and stuff. So remember like a couple of years ago,

190
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 3: when Daniel Jones was a top ten quarterback because he

191
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: was running so much. It was largely because teams had

192
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: to decide on the option do we want to try

193
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 3: to stop Saquon or Daniel Jones? And then it just

194
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 3: leads to huge running lanes for the quarterbacks. So maybe

195
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 3: we get Lamar running less, but it could be much

196
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: much more efficient.

197
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: I think maybe that could be.

198
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 2: And yeah, some of this also is goes to the

199
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 2: wide receivers too, Like, can these guys step up and

200
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: perform Kansas A. Flowers build on what he did last year,

201
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: Ken Rashat Bateman come around to being the guy we

202
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: hope he can be. Ken tz Walker step up and

203
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: be a playmaker in this offense as well.

204
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 1: That remains to be seen. We can all be optimistic

205
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: about it.

206
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 2: In Houston, Demiko Ryans says that Damian Pierce and Joe

207
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: Mixon can be a one to two punch for the

208
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: Houston Texans. So LaQuan should we upgrade Damian Pierce? So

209
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: should be downgrade Joe Mixon?

210
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: No, just wait on.

211
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 4: I just feel so bad for Damian Pierce because you

212
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 4: guys know, I'm a huge fan of him, man, and

213
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 4: like last year, you know, things were looking good. He

214
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 4: was out snapping Devin Singletary. He was getting the touches.

215
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 4: I mean back to back games in that in that

216
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 4: period before he got in, he had twenty plus carries. So, like,

217
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 4: you know, the team likes him. You know Dmika Ryans

218
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 4: always praises him. But I don't think he's gonna leave

219
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 4: Joe Mixon, even if Joe Mixon is a guy that

220
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 4: sees less touches this year, I think it's still Joe

221
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 4: Mixon's backfield. I think Damian Pierce will be utilized a

222
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 4: lot more on this hybrid kickoff because last season we

223
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 4: see how explosive he was running back like a seventy

224
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 4: six yard return, So I think Hey will get a

225
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 4: lot of his pop on special teams and then he'll

226
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 4: take someone the breath off of Joe Mixon. But how

227
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 4: I'm attacking the draft is that Joe Mixon is the

228
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 4: guy that's likely gonna be up there in the two

229
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 4: hundred and thirty touches range.

230
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: I mean, are you are you down with that florio

231
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: or are you feeling somewhere some other kind of way.

232
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 3: I feel a little bit different, but for a different reason.

233
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 3: I agree with what Lakwan said. I think this is

234
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: Joe Mixon's backfield. I think that Joe Mixon could still

235
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 3: play at a high level. Last season, he had the

236
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: most percentage of runs go for ten or more yards

237
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 3: since twenty eighteen, and he did so with seemed more

238
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: loaded boxes than he has in in those years in

239
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 3: between those. So now he goes to the Houston where

240
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 3: one of the best deep ball throwers in the league

241
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 3: and CJ. Stroud is there. I think that'll help open

242
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 3: a lot near the line of scrimmage for him. But

243
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 3: I'm drafting a ton of Damian Pierce right now for

244
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: two reasons. One, I mean, he's going after the top

245
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 3: two hundred picks, so he's absolutely free. If anything happens

246
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 3: to Joe Mixon, he will become the workhorse there. But

247
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 3: I just don't think he's a great fit for this

248
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: Texans run system. We saw his numbers decline greatly when

249
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 3: they changed the OC and kind of became more of

250
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 3: an outside running team. I keep thinking like, what if

251
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 3: this guy gets traded in August or something like that,

252
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: Like what if he ends up on Dallas or on

253
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 3: the Chargers where they run a power heavy run system

254
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 3: where he would thrive in those systems. So to me,

255
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 3: I keep throwing like seventeenth, eighteenth round picks on Damian

256
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 3: Pierce and just crossing my fingers that he ends up

257
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: somewhere else. Because we see running back more than other

258
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 3: positions kind of change teams in August.

259
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: I think that's I think that's the lane that he

260
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: fits into right now, because in terms of just you know,

261
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: what he brings to the table, I think Joe Mixon

262
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: can do everything Damian Pierce can, but also catch the

263
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: football a little bit better. I think he's sort of

264
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 2: a nice fit there. So I think that's probably if

265
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 2: you're drafting Peers, probably the way to go with it

266
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: at all. Christian Watson says he was hoping to put

267
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: his hamstring injuries behind him. He is working on sort

268
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 2: of evening out. I guess he had more muscle mass

269
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 2: kind of in one ham string than the other. He's

270
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 2: trying to even some things out. I don't know if

271
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: either of you saw this. There was a little bit

272
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 2: of physical therapist on physical therapist violence on Twitter.

273
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 3: I did nothing.

274
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: Violence is maybe too strong of a word heat how

275
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: about that? You know, look, there are a lot of

276
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 2: there are a lot of pts on Twitter who do

277
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: some good work on trying to sort of explain how

278
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,359
Speaker 2: injuries work and try to give you a basic timeline

279
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: of when a guy can return that sort of thing,

280
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: and sort of this this training method and what Watson

281
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: was trying to do. They're kind of some disagreements we'll

282
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: say on Twitter about about you know, guys and their

283
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: suggestions on things.

284
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: Whatever. That's neither here nor there.

285
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: Christian Watson though a wide receiver in what is a

286
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: very crowded wide receiver room in Green Bay, I mean, Florida,

287
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 2: how are you sorting through this this wide receiver room

288
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 2: for the Packers.

289
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 3: I love Jayden Reid. I will take him at cost.

290
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: I've seen some people on Twitter like souring on him

291
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 3: a little bit, but I think he is just the

292
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 3: type of player that you go into the season generating

293
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 3: touches for whether it be on the ground, through the air, downfields.

294
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 3: He could do it all, so I really like him.

295
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 3: After that, the three Wicks, Watson, and Dobbs are are

296
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 3: all kind of bunched together. But to me, Dobbs is

297
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 3: like the safe floor, low stealing kind of player. He's

298
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: the one that I want the least of them all.

299
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 3: I see the upside case for Wicks, but I'm a

300
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 3: sucker for explosiveness. So getting Christian Watson at wide receiver

301
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 3: forty six, even though I know, I know there was

302
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: no chemistry between him and Jordan Love last year it

303
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 3: was kind of a lost season. I still remember Watson

304
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 3: breaking sixty yard touchdown runs downfield or catching runs. So

305
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 3: when I see that upside at wide receiver forty six.

306
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 3: It's it's hard to pass up.

307
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: Are you in?

308
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: I heard a lot of chatter about D'antavian Wicks recently, lakwan,

309
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: are you are you buying any of that?

310
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 4: I am. I think I'm buying into it just so

311
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 4: I can avoid the worry about Christian Watson, because I

312
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 4: love that he's wide receiver forty six. But the problem

313
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 4: is where he's going in bestball leagues. I need them

314
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 4: to fall a little bit lower for me to take

315
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 4: on that risk factor with Christian Watson. So at wide

316
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 4: receiver sixty one, you can get Wis who showed that

317
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 4: he could be productive with the opportunities. I mean, you're

318
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 4: looking at the connection between him and Jordan Love and

319
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 4: it was just automatic. It wasn't anything that we had

320
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 4: to worry about. It didn't take time to kind of

321
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 4: build up. It kind of happened as soon as he

322
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 4: got on the field and he was able to gain momentum.

323
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 4: So I'm going to take on a guy that is

324
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 4: way cheaper than all these guys to where I'm looking

325
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 4: at Wix when he's entering my roster as a fill

326
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 4: and a guy that can come in as soon as

327
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 4: Watson goes down He's a guy that you can stash,

328
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 4: you can put him on your watch list, whatever the

329
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 4: case may be. But I'd rather take the value on

330
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 4: a guy that I know can produce when given the opportunity.

331
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 4: And I don't think Watson's going to fall back into

332
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 4: a starting role. I think it's going to have to

333
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 4: be a slow burn to where he's going to have

334
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 4: to gain that chemistry with Jordan Love. Because the numbers

335
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 4: that I provided before you can go check out my Twitter,

336
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 4: the passeray and the completion percentage, Watson able to not

337
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 4: being able to separate and be able to be in

338
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 4: the right spot. That's where it becomes down to a

339
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 4: problem where I can't risk taking Watson in seventh round

340
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 4: when there's other guys in that round that I kind

341
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 4: of like better.

342
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I have kind of gone toward I think

343
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: about a sprinkling of all these guys. You know that's

344
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 2: the right way to do it, I think, right, I

345
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: mean I know it sounds like a cop out, right,

346
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 2: but because especially in a best ball situation, I think

347
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: I think in redraft, this is going to be an

348
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: incredibly frustrating room to deal with because it will be

349
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: hard to pinpoint on any given a week, who the

350
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 2: guy is. I think that is the beauty of best balls,

351
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 2: that you can sort of take shots at all of

352
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: them and theoretically you can be okay there now. Wis

353
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: is the guy who I think everybody sort of loves.

354
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, everybody loves the backup quarterback, right

355
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: and bestball. Everybody loves kind of this secondary or number

356
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 2: three wide receiver that has a path to getting on

357
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: the field but might not necessarily be there all the time.

358
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: But a guy like Dontavian Wicks does have that upside

359
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: that he can get on the field, he can make

360
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 2: some plays, and he could eventually get those opportunities, but

361
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 2: you don't have to necessarily live with him on a

362
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: week two week basis.

363
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: I would think that if there's a guy, if for.

364
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: Talking redraft, Jaden Reid is probably still the guy I

365
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: want in a redraft situation. But again, I think there

366
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: will be Jaden Reid weeks. There will be Christian Watson games.

367
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 2: You know, there may even be the occasional Romeo Dobbs

368
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: game in there, which side note, I remember a couple

369
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 2: years ago it was like this is it's gonna be

370
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 2: the Christian Watson Romeo Dobbs show in this offense, and

371
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: now we're talking about like those guys, you know, depending

372
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: on the week, could beat number three and four.

373
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 3: So I never understood the Romeo Dobbs love. I get

374
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 3: like Watson, I'm saying, but purely for best ball, but

375
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 3: like he could go out and get like one hundred

376
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 3: and fifty and two in a giving game. I don't

377
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 3: have to figure out when that's gonna be, but I

378
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 3: get that huge bike week when.

379
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: He does it. Actually, here's the thing I will say.

380
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 2: I know that Daniel Jeremiah, who obviously we all know

381
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: and love and trust immensely, he really thought Dobbs could

382
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 2: be a good fit in the Packer offense, and I

383
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 2: think he was. And when he first hit, I mean,

384
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 2: he had a really good start to his rookie season,

385
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 2: sort of faded a little bit late, and I think,

386
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: you know, I certainly bought in, you know, and they

387
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: just they have done a very good job in scouting

388
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 2: wide receivers in Green Bay over the last few years,

389
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 2: and so you know, they're in a good spot because

390
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: they've got a lot of guys. They don't really care

391
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: about our fantasy teams, but for their actual team. It's

392
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 2: a really good spot for them to be in offensively

393
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 2: right now.

394
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 4: Jordan Love is the winner that it comes down to.

395
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 4: So draft Jordan Love.

396
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that's the that's the short answer to

397
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 2: this whole thing. Just draft Jordan Love and be done

398
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: with it. In Dallas, Brandon Cooks predicts this will be

399
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 2: a breakout year for Jalen Tolbert as the wide receiver

400
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: three in Dallas. We know Ceede Lamb is the wide

401
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 2: receiver one, Cooks is, there's the wide receiver two. It's

402
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 2: sort of up in the air for a wide receiver

403
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 2: three right now. I mean, Lakwan, is there any value

404
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: beyond those top two guys? Also, when you factor in uh,

405
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 2: you know they've got tight ends they have to work in.

406
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: You Thinkil Elliott is back. Do we care about the

407
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: wide receiver three in Dallas? Uh?

408
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 4: No, I don't, but think he would be the third option.

409
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 4: To be honest, I think he's one of those guys

410
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 4: like if you're a fan of him, you want to

411
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 4: see him do really good. I mean like he falls

412
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 4: in the category of like deeper leagues where you stash him.

413
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 4: I mean, like the Trey Palmers of the world the

414
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 4: two two at wells. You know, you really want them

415
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 4: to do well and fit as that wide receiver three.

416
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 4: But if they're on an offense that really has a

417
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 4: tight end or running back as the third second option

418
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 4: sometimes where you know the wide receiver three is just

419
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 4: there as a decoy most of the time. So I

420
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 4: don't advise people to go out there and draft him

421
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 4: and expect weekly production out of him. But if you're

422
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 4: in the deeper league, take take a shot on him.

423
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 2: You know, I mean Ken Dak Prescott support all these

424
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 2: pass catchers on a consistent basis, for.

425
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 3: Consistent if they were good. Yes, we've seen him do

426
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 3: it with Ceedee lamb Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup that

427
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 3: one year. But Jalen Tolbert's been in the NFL for

428
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: two years. He is two hundred and eighty yards and

429
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 3: two touchdowns. There. The list of wide receivers to have

430
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 3: that few production in two years in the NFL and

431
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 3: going to succeed is extremely, extremely low. Plus, I'm not

432
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 3: even that interested in Brandon Cook's I mean three games

433
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 3: last year with more than fifty yards, Like I know,

434
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 3: he had one hundred and seventy two yards game and

435
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 3: that one is like, that's why you draft Brandon Cooks

436
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 3: and best Ball and the upside for him to have

437
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 3: those huge weeks is still there with Dak, but like,

438
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 3: I'm not that interested because, yeah, I think the number

439
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: two target is going to be Ferguson, So Lamby is

440
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 3: going to get eleven targets a game. Again, so Cooks

441
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 3: is that boom or bust option. And then after that

442
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 3: it's maybe real life pieces they could contribute, but not

443
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 3: for fantasy.

444
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm kind of with you. I don't know that.

445
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: Again, it's the kind of thing if you do enough

446
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 2: best Ball drafts, you probably will take a swing at

447
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: one of those guys. But I think you know, that's

448
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: that's gonna be pretty tough. And I'll say that on

449
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 2: a regular basis for sure. All right, let's get into

450
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 2: some of these rookie ADPs. Will take a quick break,

451
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 2: come back in the dive into some higher or lower

452
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 2: that's next on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. So here

453
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 2: we are very much in the thick of Best Ball

454
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 2: draft see. And you know, I think it's always interesting

455
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 2: to sort of look at some of the first year

456
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 2: players because especially if you are drafting this early or

457
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: even if you started drafting a month ago. You want

458
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 2: to plant your flag on some of the rookies, right,

459
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: You want to say that you are ahead of the curve,

460
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 2: and especially because generally speaking, you can probably get a

461
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 2: better value on some of these guys the earlier you're

462
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: drafting them, before the hype really truly builds and everybody

463
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 2: gets in and starts drafting them. Now, look, we know

464
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: some of the guys at the top. You know, we

465
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 2: know Marvin Harrison is going to go really really early.

466
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 2: I'm in a mock draft. I think I took him

467
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 2: with the second pick of the second round in a

468
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 2: twelve team mock draft. You know Romo Dunes is going

469
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: to go fairly high. You know we'll get in, you know,

470
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 2: we we'll avoid some of those guys just because I

471
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 2: think this sort of is what it is. But there

472
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 2: are a handful of other names that I was sort

473
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 2: of interested in getting your opinions on, So Florida, I'll

474
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 2: start with you here on Malik Neighbors. Twenty nine point

475
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: one is the average draft position for him. He is

476
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 2: the why receiver twenty. The upside on him is that

477
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 2: he looks like the wide receiver one in New York.

478
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 2: The downside for him is that he's the wide receiver

479
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 2: one in New York. And that's mind you, the Giants,

480
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: not the Jets. It's Daniel Jones, not Aaron Rodgers. So

481
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 2: a top thirty pick from Elague Neighbors? Are you okay

482
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 2: with that? Is that too high or too low?

483
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 3: I think it's too high and I love the league neighbors.

484
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: I ranked him as my wide receiver one coming into

485
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 3: the NFL Draft, ahead of Marvin Harrison Junior. And I

486
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 3: think he can win. And the reason he was number

487
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 3: one for me is because I think he can win

488
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: in every single way you want a player to win.

489
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 3: He could win downfield, he could win in the intermediate area.

490
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 3: He could take a pass that's behind the line of

491
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 3: scrimmage and take at the distance. He is that electric

492
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 3: and he could just do everything on the football field.

493
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 3: I also really do like him because I think Brian

494
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 3: Dable is a better offensive mind than he gets credit

495
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 3: for it. I think people maybe have forgotten that after

496
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 3: this season the Giants had last year. But he's gonna

497
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 3: draw ten targets per game. I believe for this kid,

498
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 3: the only thing is the names that you're taking that

499
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 3: he's going over right now, DeVonta Smith is one of

500
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 3: the most proven wide receivers. I like Michael Pittman Junior more,

501
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup I can never quit dk Metcalf I have

502
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 3: ranked higher. In my first ranking go around, I had

503
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 3: him at wide receiver twenty eight, But even there, there's

504
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 3: like three or four wide receivers directly after him that

505
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 3: I'm like, if you made a good case for them

506
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 3: over neighbors, I wouldn't argue. So I like him a

507
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: lot more if you could get him as a wide

508
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 3: receiver three than having to pay up and get him

509
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 3: as a two.

510
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 2: How exactly is he going over some of those names, Lakwan,

511
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. Somebody make a case for me.

512
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: I think it's it.

513
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:44,959
Speaker 3: Has to be.

514
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 4: You're still on the post draft high where you know

515
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 4: you're looking at him as the certified wide receiver one

516
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 4: of the class. So a lot of people are going

517
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 4: to his besketball drafts still on that high thinking that, hey,

518
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 4: he's gonna see over one hundred targ Yes, that is true,

519
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 4: but there's been other players and other examples of previous

520
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 4: years that one hundred targets ain't enough. A thousand yards

521
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 4: ain't enough. A twenty percent target share ain't enough. When

522
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 4: you're capped at like twelve to thirteen Fantasy points per game.

523
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 4: That doesn't warrant you to be going in the third

524
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 4: round over some of these proven talents. I'd rather take

525
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 4: a Jaylen Watto or Devonte Smith, like Florio was saying.

526
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 4: These guys are proven talent that have good quarterback play

527
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 4: or even elite quarterback play. Now we're looking at New York.

528
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 4: We got Daniel Jones for turning back from multiple injuries,

529
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 4: and we don't even know if he's going to be

530
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 4: ready to go week won with the backup as Drew Locke.

531
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 4: So it doesn't scream to me efficient targets. It doesn't

532
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 4: screen to me touchdown scoring opportunities. So in that third round,

533
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 4: it's pretty nasty work if you ask me.

534
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 2: And I think it just comes down to the basic

535
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 2: question that we always have to ask ourselves. Do you

536
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 2: want the number one target in a mediocre to bad

537
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 2: offense versus the number two target in a good to

538
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 2: great offense. And I think that's sort of where we're

539
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 2: getting with I mean Devinta Smith. I guess it is

540
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 2: technically the number two but he and A. J. Brown

541
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: are sort of one A and one B in Philadelphia.

542
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 4: Batman Skinny Batman, what is it a.

543
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: Batman and skinny Bolt? Yeah man. Uh, you know, and even.

544
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 3: Hooper Cup could be a water their top target on

545
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 3: their team, Like yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, you know,

546
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 3: Jalen Wattle, he's the number two target behind Tyreek Hill.

547
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 2: But we've seen the passing volume and we've seen that

548
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 2: that Tua can support both of those guys. You know,

549
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 2: it's we're still not sold on on Janiel Doones and

550
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: how much he can uh starting to roll off, it's

551
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: starting to roll off the tongue. I'm a little bit

552
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,479
Speaker 2: scared that I'm gonna say that for real, like on

553
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 2: Fantasy Live or something this year, Like.

554
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 3: I, oh, it's gonna happen like week two.

555
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 2: I know, I really shouldn't get so comfortable with it

556
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 2: because it's just starting to it's just starting to just

557
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 2: roll out really easily now.

558
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: Anyway. I'm but I think I'm with you guys.

559
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 2: Like top thirty pick feels like a little bit too

560
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: much for Molik Neighbors. It just feels like a flag plant, uh,

561
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: for a guy that that doesn't necessarily have the path

562
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 2: to that level.

563
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: Of production in New York.

564
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, in Jacksonville, Brian Thomas seventy four point six is

565
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 2: the ADP wide receiver forty two. Lakwan, I know we

566
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 2: tried not to get too hyped over OTA reports, but man,

567
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: the OTA reports for Brian Thomas are really good down there.

568
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 2: Right now, I find myself, I find myself getting a

569
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 2: little bit more excited about him again. Top seventy five

570
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 2: pick for Brian Thomas. Higher or lower than that.

571
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 4: I'm scared to say, but it might be higher by

572
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 4: the time we get to August, because these CAMP reports

573
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 4: are really really good, like what you're saying, and on

574
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 4: top of that, we're getting video of it. So it's like, oh, man,

575
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 4: like I had to move Trevor Lawrence up in my rankings.

576
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 4: I know, before months ago, I've said he's a fantasy bust,

577
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 4: but this might be the year that we might see

578
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence unlocked. I mean, Brian Thomas is out there,

579
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 4: he's stretching the field. He's going to be a difference maker.

580
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 4: So I'm okay with taking him in the seventh round

581
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 4: of where he's going at in Best ball leagues right.

582
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 2: Now, I mean Floya, can he compete target wise with

583
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 2: Christian Kirk. I mean, I think he compete with Gabe Davis,

584
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 2: But I mean can he get enough targets to sort

585
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 2: of push Christian Kirk in that offense?

586
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 3: No, I don't think so. And I think at best

587
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 3: he's their third target because I think he'll be behind

588
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 3: Evan Ingram as well, and then he's battling it out

589
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 3: with Gabe Davis for those downfield targets because that is

590
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 3: one area where Gabe Davis plays well. Plus, Gabe Davis

591
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 3: is a good run blocker. And I know we don't

592
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 3: care about that for fantasy, but it helps you on

593
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 3: the field. It's why he played more snaps than any

594
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 3: Bills wide receiver in his tenure, because he's so good

595
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 3: at that area that you just leave him out there

596
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 3: in two wide receiver sets three wide receiver sets. So

597
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas could be the wide receiver three on his

598
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 3: own team. Maybe he outproduces Gabe Davis. I think he will,

599
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 3: but snaps an opportunity wise, he could be third. I

600
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 3: see the appeal. I will also say I didn't love

601
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas Junior as a prospect as much as everyone

602
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 3: else everyone had him like as the consensus fourth wide receiver.

603
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 3: I had him a little lower than that, but like

604
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 3: he's going he's going ahead of Deontay Johnson. To me,

605
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 3: that's a huge mistake. Rashid Rice. He's only going ahead

606
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 3: of because we don't know the legal issues. Then there's

607
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 3: a lot of receivers in that range that I'm like,

608
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: are just like Brian Thomas. So but you could get

609
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 3: a little bit later. So I see the appeal and

610
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 3: I see the upside, but I don't anticipate myself drafting

611
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 3: him a whole bunch.

612
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 1: A couple things of that too.

613
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 2: One, I think I think you're gonna start to see

614
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 2: Deontay Johnson's adp go up a little bit because it

615
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: just feels like it feels like in the last couple

616
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 2: of weeks, everybody has come to this realization that, hey man,

617
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: the Panthers might not suck as much this year, right

618
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 2: that that all of a sudden, everybody's looking around at

619
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 2: Bryce Young and being like, hey man, this dude's kind

620
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 2: of a value, and Deontay Johnson's hey man, this dude's

621
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 2: kind of a value. I'm I think you're gonna see

622
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 2: those ADPs go up, so maybe that helps Thomas a

623
00:28:59,000 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: little bit.

624
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, guys.

625
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 2: I'm still I'm not confident in Rashi Rice and it

626
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with the legal system at all.

627
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: I'll leave it there.

628
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 2: We'll talk about him a little bit later in the show,

629
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 2: so I won't get into it too much, but I

630
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 2: have my concerns.

631
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: We'll say that.

632
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 2: I excent maybe I'm being sucked in by the camp reports.

633
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: I'm okay with Jonathan, with Brian Thomas. Rather at where

634
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 2: he is wide receiver forty two, I will take the

635
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 2: swinging at him.

636
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: You know, I could be wrong.

637
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 2: We get to know August and I look a little

638
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: bit silly, but for now I'm sort of buying in

639
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 2: on this one. Jonathan Brooks first running back drafted in

640
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 2: the NFL Draft. He's the running back twenty four right now.

641
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 2: Eighty eight point three is the ADP Florio. I suspect

642
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 2: that if we get reports that he's healthy and ready

643
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: to go earlier in the season, that ADP may go

644
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: up even higher. But for now, just inside the top ninety.

645
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 2: Are you okay with that?

646
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: Yeah?

647
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 3: I think it's like just right his ADP because you

648
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 3: look at the running backs. He's going right behind right

649
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 3: now it's Demere White, DeAndre Swift, Najie Harris, and then

650
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 3: right ahead it's Jalen Warren, Zach Mahl's, Tony Poller, James Connor.

651
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 3: I could make an argument for him to be higher

652
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 3: or to be lower. It all comes down to, I

653
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 3: think the health, and we're gonna find out as camp

654
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 3: goes on. Not only is he going to be ready

655
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 3: to suit up early on in the season, but is

656
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 3: he looking like himself Because not only does it take

657
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 3: usually a first year to get that full burst back

658
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 3: and that explosion back from the torn acl, but it

659
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 3: also takes a couple of weeks for these running backs

660
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 3: to trust it fully again, like Breece Hall in September

661
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 3: was a very different running back than Breece Hall the

662
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 3: rest of the year. So to me, RB twenty four

663
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 3: feels appropriate and it could go up a few spots.

664
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 3: I think it also could drop a solid five to

665
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 3: six spots or something like that, and depending all on

666
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 3: the reports we get.

667
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: In August, lakwanahealthy Jonathan Brooks is the RB one there

668
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 2: Carolina right he beats Chuba Hubbard.

669
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: It's Miles Sanders when he's healthy.

670
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 4: Uh, yes, one hundred percent. I mean we all seen

671
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 4: the tape, you know, before this guy went down went injury,

672
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 4: and I think, you know, you just have to have

673
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 4: your expectations in order when you're drafting a guy like Brooks,

674
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 4: like just have the understanding that it might be a

675
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 4: slow burn. I don't see him really making noise until

676
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 4: probably October. But I think Trouba Harber he still gets

677
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 4: the first licks because he was really productive for that

678
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 4: backfield last year. A lot of people haven't really looked

679
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 4: at his numbers and noticed that, but I think he

680
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 4: still will be involved this wall very early on. So

681
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 4: where you're getting him at running back twenty four, that's

682
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 4: like in the seventh eighth round range, Like, hey, why

683
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 4: not take a shot on him in the you know,

684
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 4: RB three or before wherever you're at in your roster

685
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 4: where just have your expectations in order when you're taking him.

686
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 4: But I think he's absolutely the RB one by the

687
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:45,479
Speaker 4: time this season wraps up.

688
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: And I think this is where it's important to point

689
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 2: out these are best ball ADPs and so yeah, you

690
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 2: are sort of hoping for these guys to hit later

691
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 2: in the season, and so I think for a guy

692
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 2: like Jonathan Brooks especially, the expectation is by the time

693
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 2: we get to December that he is back on the field,

694
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 2: he is getting a good number of snaps, and that

695
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: he has sort of pushed, you know, certainly Sanders aside

696
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 2: and is really gunning for that that RB one job

697
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: in Carolina.

698
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: So that optimism, I think has something to do with it.

699
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 2: Blake Korum RB thirty nine one twenty four point eight

700
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 2: is the ADP.

701
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Lakwan, we've sort of talked about this.

702
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 2: With Kyen Williams not being one hundred percent healthy, I

703
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 2: would assume that number is continuing to climb. You, being

704
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 2: our resident rams Homer here, how do you feel about

705
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 2: Korum just inside the top one twenty five?

706
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 4: I'm excited, man. I love where he's going in drafts

707
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 4: because a lot of people are still kind of sleeping

708
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 4: on him. But I feel as though, you know, once

709
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 4: the summer comes around and we're still hearing reports about

710
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 4: Kiren's health, him sitting out of practice, et cetera, it's

711
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 4: just only going to rise. So jump on the value now.

712
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 4: And I really feel as though, you know, this guy

713
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 4: is going to be such a huge red zone threat,

714
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 4: So I'll find the end zone more time than not

715
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 4: last season. You know what his college years, And I

716
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 4: really feel as though you're going into an offense that's

717
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 4: going to be a high power, healthy offense going into

718
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 4: the season with Cooper cub Puka Nakua and a healthy

719
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford. So the opportunity for him is on the table.

720
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 4: And I did a stat yesterday with Kyrine Williams that

721
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 4: he was the only running back since twenty seventeen to

722
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 4: be able to have ten touches between each halves. And

723
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 4: that's Todd Gurley the other guy who's been able to

724
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 4: do that as a RAM. So it's like his involvement

725
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 4: throughout the game is crucial to where he's going to

726
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 4: get these touches. Blake Koran, that is on the table

727
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 4: for him. If Kyron what's going to miss time. I

728
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 4: don't want to say he's going to come in and

729
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 4: fall in day one and just go out the gate

730
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 4: and take his job. But I really feel as though

731
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 4: to be in this opportunity to be able to develop

732
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 4: and get the reps. This is awesome for Blake Korn

733
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 4: to be in this offense with Sean McVay.

734
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 2: You mentioned Todd Gurley, and I think his name always

735
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 2: sort of applies when we talk about Rams running backs

736
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 2: and Sean McVay because Vegas.

737
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: Sort of said pouring out.

738
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 2: McVeigh has said repeatedly that he is hesitant to use

739
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: a guy similar to what he did with Girley, that

740
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 2: he doesn't want to just overwork one guy. Now, it's

741
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 2: sort of happened last year with Kyrien Williams, that you know,

742
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 2: he was just out playing everybody else that we're really

743
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 2: no other options. That McVeigh was super in love with.

744
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 2: That being said Florio. I mean, look, it's one thing

745
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 2: to talk about Blake Corum in the context of Williams

746
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 2: and a foot injury. It's another thing just to talk

747
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 2: about Blake Coorum the player in general. Could he carve

748
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 2: out a role even with a healthy Kien Williams despite

749
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 2: how well Williams played last year.

750
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 3: I think so, because he's a very similar style player

751
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 3: to Kien Williams. And I think that's partially why we

752
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 3: didn't see Kien Williams leave the field last year. It

753
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 3: was like, Okay, we take this guy off. We're getting

754
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,479
Speaker 3: significantly worse production at that position, so we're just gonna

755
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 3: play him eighty to ninety percent of the snaps and

756
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 3: give him the bulk of all the work. And one

757
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 3: thing we've seen teams do in recent years, rather than

758
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 3: pull a running back off for a couple of plays

759
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 3: and mix and match guys, It'll be like, Okay, this

760
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 3: whole drive is one running back, this whole drive is

761
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 3: another running back. And we like to see teams often

762
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 3: rotated two drives for the starter and then a the

763
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 3: third drive goes to the backup. I could see Blake

764
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 3: Ran playing in that role. And you look at where

765
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 3: he's going in drafts. Right now, he's going right behind

766
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 3: the Washington running backs. You got Taj Spears and Chase

767
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 3: Brown ahead of him. Right behind him are both Cowboys

768
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 3: running backs Jerome Ford Zach Charboney. So to me, those

769
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 3: are all RB twos in their own offense or situations

770
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 3: where we don't know who the lead running back is

771
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 3: gonna be, like in Dallas something like that. But it's

772
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 3: a very appropriate group, I think, because all of these guys,

773
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 3: whether injury or something like that happen, could get a

774
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 3: huge boost in value. So if you're doing a lot

775
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 3: of best ball drafts, this is a great area of

776
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 3: the draft to kind of like, Okay, one draft, I'm

777
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,439
Speaker 3: gonna take this guy. Next draft, I'm gonna take this guy.

778
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,720
Speaker 3: But I do really like Blake Korum, and he's someone

779
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 3: at cost that I have been targeting in my drafts.

780
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been. I've been targeting him pretty much at cost.

781
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 2: I think I will admit I had a little more

782
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 2: interest in him hearing the reports on Kyen, but Alsos

783
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 2: are keeping in mind that this could just be precautionary

784
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 2: with the rams where they're just kind of keeping Kyen

785
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 2: Williams out of action for now because it's it's May. Yeah,

786
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 2: you know, and it's May, and there's no need to

787
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 2: push him right now, you know, when he's he's a

788
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 2: little bit banged up, so it could be. But by

789
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 2: the time we get to camp everything's okay. But I

790
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 2: don't I still don't feel bad. I don't think I'll

791
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 2: be too overextended on Blake Korum on any of my rosters.

792
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 1: There last one, this one to me, was super interesting.

793
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 2: Jermane Burton one fifty two point one wide receiver seventy

794
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 2: I mean Florio, Yes, I know we always talk about

795
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 2: off field concerns, but like he got drafted he's on

796
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 2: a team, he's on a roster. Everybody loves the talent.

797
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 2: I am so prize that he's going outside the top

798
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 2: one fifty. Are you surprised he's going outside the top

799
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 2: one fifty, Yes, but it.

800
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 3: Is a pure buying opportunity. He's actually my most drafted

801
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 3: wide receiver right now. And I was a little bit

802
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 3: lower on him than some other people as a prospect.

803
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 3: I still really liked him. I thought he could win downfield,

804
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 3: he could move all over the field and such, but

805
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 3: the landing spot, I was like, I don't care about

806
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,479
Speaker 3: any of that other stuff anymore. He's a top three

807
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 3: wide receiver on a team that should have an elite

808
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 3: offense with an elite quarterback that uses a ton of

809
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 3: three wide receiver sets. Plus te Higgins is on the

810
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 3: franchise tag right now. And something that I talk about

811
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 3: a lot is like, look, football's a very physical, violent game.

812
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 3: We know that these guys are always out there playing

813
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 3: through injuries. When we get into the middle to later

814
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 3: part of the seasons, We've seen lots of players And

815
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 3: I don't want to get in the head of T

816
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 3: Higgins and say anything, but like, we've seen players not

817
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 3: push themselves through injuries when they're on a contract year,

818
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 3: because because why would they risk all of that without

819
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 3: the financial security. So if anything happens to either of

820
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,919
Speaker 3: those other two wide receivers, he now becomes a top

821
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 3: two wide receiver for Joe Burrow, and especially in best ball.

822
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 3: I do think he'll be inconsistent at least early on,

823
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 3: but the big playability is so there, and I think

824
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,439
Speaker 3: we could see with Tyler Boyd gone, we could see

825
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,760
Speaker 3: more rotation, with Burton going in the slot at times

826
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 3: and Chase going in the slot at times. So yeah,

827
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 3: wide receiver seventy outside the top one fifty, It's an

828
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 3: auto draft for me right now.

829
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 2: I mean, look, Lakwan, we have seen the Bengals use

830
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 2: three wide receiver sets. We know what a healthy Joe

831
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 2: Burrow can do. I is there a reason he's going

832
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm trying to wrap my head around why

833
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 2: this is happening. I don't know if you have any

834
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 2: logical explanation for why no one is clicking on Jermaine

835
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 2: Burton right now.

836
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 4: I don't, because I think a lot of people are

837
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 4: looking at his draft capital and kind of putting into

838
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 4: like he might be a little trouble maker's very mouthfee,

839
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 4: but you know there there's a lot that comes with

840
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 4: that bark. There's some bite to that man. He's a

841
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 4: very talented wide receiver, so I'm not quite sure why

842
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 4: he's going so late. So I feel as though he

843
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 4: just jump on the value now and kind of wait

844
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 4: for his opportunity. Because we're looking at T Higgins, like

845
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 4: we explained, he's on the contract year, he'd even signed

846
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 4: the franchise Taga didn't show up to OTAs. We don't

847
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 4: know what's gonna happen. I mean, the Bengals have given

848
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 4: now three franchise tags in the last ten years. None

849
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 4: of them signed learn long term. So Florio's point, he

850
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 4: was banged up last season, if he gets banged up

851
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 4: this season, why would he push itself through this contract

852
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 4: year when he could just capitalize on the bag. It's

853
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 4: all that happened with Alan Robinson with the Bears when

854
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 4: he signed with the Rams, which was a bad contract,

855
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 4: but a whole different story, a whole different chapter. But

856
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 4: I feel as though T Higgins man, he will be

857
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 4: still the T Higgins that we know in love with

858
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 4: the healthy Joe Burrow is just gonna have to take

859
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 4: some time and patience to get Jermaine Burton to basically

860
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 4: develop and get the reps in be able to perform.

861
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 4: So for fantasy this year, I'm gonna jump on the value.

862
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 4: If he hits, he hits. If he doesn't, he doesn't.

863
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to year two for Burton.

864
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: Well, certainly at one fifty one fifty two, it's not

865
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: much of a risk pretty much.

866
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 3: He doesn't hit out whatever.

867
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 2: Maybe not anything, but you know, if it does, if

868
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 2: it does turn out to be something, then you're sitting

869
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 2: on the mother of all values.

870
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: At this point, he's.

871
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 4: He's this year's Pooka.

872
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 3: I'll say it. I don't know, i'll say it. I'll

873
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 3: say it.

874
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: No one is this year's Pooka, right, I think that's No.

875
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: One's this year's Pooka. There's no there's no Pooka. But

876
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 1: like Pooka.

877
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 3: I actually looked. He's Burton is my number two most

878
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 3: drafted wide receiver. I think number one could be this

879
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 3: year's pooka. It's Malachai Corley.

880
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I have Malakai. Those are my two

881
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 4: top rookie exposures right now in Best Ball.

882
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 2: All right, all right, By the way, he's talking about

883
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 2: the draft capital for for Jermaine Burton. It ain't going

884
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 2: to be more than anybody thought, you know. I mean yeah,

885
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 2: before all the other stuff happened, the other news came out,

886
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 2: he was potentially a Day one pick. Then it was like,

887
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: well he may go Day three, who knows, and then

888
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 2: he ends up going it just it ended up working

889
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 2: out better than I think a lot.

890
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: Of people anticipated for Jamaine Burton.

891
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 2: Anyway, take one more break, come back, play a little

892
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 2: bit of what's more likely? Kind of an either or situation.

893
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 2: That's next on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. All apologies

894
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 2: to our friends at the ATM podcast. They love to

895
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 2: play the game what's more likely, so I figured I

896
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 2: would borrow that for us. We're a situation for scenarios here.

897
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 2: What do you guys think is more likely? Lakwan started

898
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 2: with you here, more likely to be a top ten

899
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 2: fantasy quarterback this year?

900
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield or Justin Herbert.

901
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 4: Oh that's tough because Baker with Bacon last year he

902
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 4: was cooking man. He was damn their top ten as

903
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 4: well in points game.

904
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: But he doesn't have Dave Canalis anymore.

905
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 4: I know that's the thing. And then you gotta look

906
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 4: at the pass volume for Justin Herbert as well. So

907
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 4: I'm a cop out.

908
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Justin Herbert, all right, your answer, you're Floria.

909
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 3: I think it's Justin Herbert and Baker. Last year was

910
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 3: the QB ten and total points and Herbert was QB seventeen.

911
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 3: But in points per game it flipped, and that's what

912
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 3: I care more about. Like after the season ends, it's like, okay,

913
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 3: on a per game basis, Baker was QB seventeen in

914
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 3: his career year and now he loses his OC. Like

915
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 3: you said, so, I look, his new OC comes from

916
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 3: the mcvagree. I know there's a lot of success there,

917
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 3: but he's also very, very unproven and it's going to

918
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 3: be another new offense that Baker has to learn. I

919
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 3: feel like Baker has never had the same OC for

920
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 3: more than two seasons in a row, which is kind

921
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 3: of crazy. But even with all the negative things with

922
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert, I'll take him.

923
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say Baker, Yes he did lose Dave Canalis,

924
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 2: Yes he has a new offense, look learning offensive scheme

925
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 2: for Baker. Like that's like whatever at this point, right,

926
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 2: Like it's whatever, man like it's just old hat, that's

927
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 2: just what he does. He has Mike Evans and Chris Godwin,

928
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert right now we're talking about we're talking about

929
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 2: Dad McConkie, And look, Lad McConkie is a very talented player.

930
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 2: I don't think Lad McConkie should be your wide receiver

931
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 2: one in his rookie year while we're still trying to

932
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 2: figure out what Quintin Johnston can be. Uh, you know

933
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 2: who Josh Palmer is with a head coach and an

934
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator that wants to run the football. So I'm

935
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 2: gonna take Baker as more likely to finish as a

936
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 2: top ten fantasy quarterback this year. Florida more likely to

937
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 2: finish as the RB one this year. Christian McCaffrey ho hum,

938
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 2: same as it ever was, or Breice Hall.

939
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 3: You could give me literally any running back versus Christian McCaffrey,

940
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 3: and it's Christian McCaffrey. One thing that Marcus, you know,

941
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 3: I talk about a lot, is like when, especially in

942
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 3: the first round of my drafts, when I'm looking at

943
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 3: who to take first, I think of it as like

944
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 3: who has the highest percentage odd of being top five

945
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 3: RB one, whatever, and Christian McCaffrey leads in all of that.

946
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,720
Speaker 3: I mean, not only did he finish over one hundred

947
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 3: points better than any other running back last year, which

948
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 3: RB two was Breeze Hall, and you could say, yeah,

949
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 3: Breece Hall had to slow start, Okay, he still played

950
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 3: an extra game than CMC and finished over one hundred

951
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 3: points behind him last year. And that's the thing that

952
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 3: the receiving numbers. That the fact that the forty nine

953
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 3: ers are going to be one of the best offenses

954
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 3: in football again and gave him so many scoring opportunities.

955
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 3: It's CMC and then it's everyone else.

956
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: You on board with that.

957
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 4: Absolutely, you can't bet against CMC man one on one.

958
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 1: All right, I mean yeah, I'll probably make it unanimous.

959
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 2: The reason I threw this in here, though, is just

960
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 2: the stat from our research team that it's been a

961
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 2: while since someone has finished back to back as the

962
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 2: RB one. Clinton Portance I believe right that, I think

963
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,439
Speaker 2: Clinton ports was the one. Also, the fact that it's

964
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 2: very rare that the first running back drafted, the guy

965
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 2: with the highest ADP at the running back position finishes

966
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 2: as the RB one. That's also not a thing that

967
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 2: happens very often, so just sort of taking that into account.

968
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: But why do you take a wide receiver in round one?

969
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 2: I mean last year they didn't work out either. Last

970
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 2: year Round one generally stunk except for McCaffrey. He was

971
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,760
Speaker 2: like the only guy in round one that Chase.

972
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: Everybody was just gonna like, But yeah, I mean more likely, Yeah,

973
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: probably is probably Christian McCaffrey.

974
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 2: All right, el cue more likely to have a year

975
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 2: or two breakout, Jackson Smith in JIGBA or Michael Wilson.

976
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 4: Now hearing this and reading it, I almost went Michael Wilson.

977
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 4: But I'm gonna I'm gonna ump on the JSN train.

978
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 4: I'm gonna jump on the train just based on his

979
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 4: ability to create after to catch. So I see how

980
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 4: they're trying to deploy him, how to utilize him, and

981
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 4: got a new oc over there where I feel as

982
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 4: though they might figure out some way to properly to

983
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 4: get him involved. Because when I was looking at Yak

984
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 4: yards from you know, targets within the five yard scrimmage,

985
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 4: he was actually third in yards out there to catch,

986
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 4: behind Chase and another notable wide receiver forgetting right now.

987
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,399
Speaker 4: But to be the top three, that's pretty impressive of

988
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 4: like being able to get the yards out there to

989
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 4: catch on screen passes. So he has the ability to stretch,

990
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 4: you know, the field and be able to be utilized

991
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 4: in the middle field. So hopefully we can get more

992
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 4: out of him. Michael Wilson, you have Marvin Harrison Junior

993
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 4: over there. Man, I think it's gonna be a hot

994
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 4: commodity over there when it comes to the target share.

995
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 4: So I'll go with JSN.

996
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 2: I know, Florida, I know how you feel about Michael Wilson.

997
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 2: Are you going to take him over JSN?

998
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 1: Here?

999
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 3: No, Both of these guys are at worst, or maybe

1000
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 3: at best, you could say, in Wilson's case, the third

1001
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 3: target on their team because McBride is going to get

1002
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 3: more targets than Wilson as well. Wilson struggles to stay healthy.

1003
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 3: That was his big thing in college. But JSN was

1004
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 3: my wide receiver one in that class, and I still

1005
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 3: firmly believe in his talent. He's awesome. He just the

1006
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 3: usage was awful last year and it could be again

1007
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 3: this year. But Lockett will be thirty two in September.

1008
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 3: That's he's approaching decline period. And I think Jaysn was

1009
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 3: drafted not for last season, but for this year and

1010
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 3: beyond to kind of take over. So yeah, I think

1011
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,919
Speaker 3: Jaysn is a good value at where he's going right.

1012
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 2: Now New OC as well in Seattle, and maybe a

1013
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 2: guy who wants to use more three wide receiver sets

1014
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 2: That wasn't something they did a lot of last year

1015
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 2: for the Seahawks. So I'm gonna go Jayson as well. Yeah,

1016
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 2: I'm curious about Michael Wilson. I mean I liked him

1017
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 2: kind of as a deep sleeper last year, but yeah,

1018
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 2: is there enough volume there, which there may be with

1019
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 2: Kyler Wurry to sustain three pass catchers Because Floria, you

1020
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 2: hit it, it's Harrison, then it's Trey McBride, and then

1021
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 2: maybe it's Michael Wilson last one. Floria more likely to

1022
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 2: fall off in year two or she Rice or Jaden Reid.

1023
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 2: After we spent a lot of time talking about the

1024
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 2: Packers wide receivers, I.

1025
00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 3: Really want to hear your reasoning. But for me, I

1026
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 3: think most likely to fall off as Rashi Rice because

1027
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 3: the legal stuff. If he's not there to start the year.

1028
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 3: This is a more crowded and better talented wide receiver

1029
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 3: room than it's been and now the last two years

1030
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 3: the offense has been built off of yak Now, I

1031
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 3: think we're gonna see the deep ball back for Mahomes

1032
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 3: and the Chiefs with Marquis Brown and Xavier Worthy there,

1033
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 3: plus there's Travis Kelcey. There's a lot of target comp

1034
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 3: We've kind of said that for the Packers, but I

1035
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,879
Speaker 3: do think Reed will be the top target and they'll

1036
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 3: generate touches for him and stuff. I like both of them.

1037
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 3: I don't think either one of them necessarily falls off.

1038
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 3: But if I have to pick, I think Rachi Rice.

1039
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: Is more likely. All Right, I hear you picked on Lakwan.

1040
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go Rice. I'm weighing the air your reason.

1041
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,359
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I'm going right, I'm legitimately worried about

1042
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 2: Rashie Rice this year one because yes, they go out

1043
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 2: and they get Marquise Brown, they go out and they

1044
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 2: draft Xavier Worthy.

1045
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: Obviously they still have Travis Kelcey.

1046
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 2: And a big part of what they did with Rashi

1047
00:48:56,440 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 2: Rice was manufacture opportunities for him. I mean, it wasn't

1048
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 2: like they just lined him up and they let him

1049
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 2: go win one on one on routes or just try

1050
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,720
Speaker 2: to find spots and zones, so many of his touches

1051
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 2: were manufactured. And yeah, he was great after the catch,

1052
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 2: But when you have guys that can legitimately win, when

1053
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 2: you have Marquise Brown who can legitimately win, when you

1054
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 2: have Xavier Worthy who can win, Travis Kelsey's going to

1055
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 2: continue to eat. Are they going to spend as much

1056
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 2: time trying to generate touches for Rashi Rice in this offense?

1057
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,439
Speaker 1: And I don't think they are. I think he'll get

1058
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 1: some occasionally.

1059
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to get the same number

1060
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 2: of opportunities that he did last year. I mean, it

1061
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 2: sort of worked out because they didn't have any wide

1062
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 2: receivers that they could count on, and he stepped into

1063
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 2: the void there.

1064
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: That void no longer exists.

1065
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 2: I just don't see him getting the same level of

1066
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 2: touches that he did last season, and I really worry

1067
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 2: about it. And then throw in all the off field

1068
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 2: stuff in whatever legal situation happens, in any potential suspensions,

1069
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 2: if if something that comes around. But I just think

1070
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 2: from just a straight up football standpoint, I don't know

1071
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 2: that we see the same level of attention paid to

1072
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,919
Speaker 2: Rashi Rice this year that we did last year.

1073
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: Is it boom, that's it.

1074
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 3: I think it's a good legit concern, like the only

1075
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 3: because down the stretch. I mean his sense from week

1076
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,240
Speaker 3: eleven online, a week twelve on it was ten targets,

1077
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 3: nine targets ten nine twelve and then he had six

1078
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 3: where he had the big yardage that game. That's the

1079
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 3: only thing I think that could save him. I do

1080
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 3: agree with b August. I think his volume will decline,

1081
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 3: but maybe if those guys are tearing it up downfield,

1082
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 3: he gets a little bit more room to run and

1083
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,720
Speaker 3: could be more efficient. But it's a legit concern.

1084
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

1085
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 2: I just I think I think Rashid Rice is a

1086
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 2: name that I have been staying away from just because

1087
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 2: I don't know that he's gonna get the same kind

1088
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 2: of looks and look Patrick Mahomes sort of said, we

1089
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 2: want to be more vertical, we want to go downfield

1090
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 2: a little bit more. Now we have the personnel to

1091
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 2: do it where we really didn't the last You could

1092
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 2: tell ye.

1093
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 3: He doesn't have mvy us down there anymore.

1094
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's probably for the better anyway.

1095
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 2: Anyway, that's a good spot for us to pause for

1096
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,720
Speaker 2: this week. We're back with you tomorrow for another edition

1097
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 2: of the cheat Sheet. We will have another edition of

Speaker 2: it is bonkers percent and bananas. I put out the

1101
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 2: poll last week about what sort of genre we should

1102
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 2: do and it was pretty much split between action movies

1103
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 2: and martial arts movies. So this sort of fits the

1104
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 2: bill for both, So we'll do this one. I think

1105
