0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>including thank you, yeah, I well, thank you personally for that.

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:13.759
<v Speaker 1>Thank you very much for for being a part of it,

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.039
<v Speaker 1>which is great. There's plenty to get to over the

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.399
<v Speaker 1>course of this edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. Will start

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.040
<v Speaker 1>the show by telling you the one thing you need

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>to know about every team's off season. We will then

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.399
<v Speaker 1>give you the training camp battles that we are watching

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>throughout training camp. We're into training camps now, but here

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>are the battles that are particular note to fantasy owners.

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Then we'll look at the Dynasty and Empire rookie drafts,

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 1>will go through the average draft position for the first

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>two rounds, and we'll tell you if people are taking

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 1>these players too early, too late, or at just about

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>the right time. We'll also answer three tough questions. We'll

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>get to all of our sleepers, and we'll give you

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>some ideas about what to do with that extra week

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>that's on your schedule now that the NFL has employed

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>the seventeen week see reason. So plenty of good stuff

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>to get to. Let's begin by going through the one

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.359
<v Speaker 1>thing you need to know about every team's off season. Now.

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 1>The way I've asked my co host Scott and Matt

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to handle this is not the most obvious thing, not

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>necessarily the biggest thing, Like Aaron Rodgers is now in camp.

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>That's not everybody knows that what we want to go with,

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>the stuff you need, the one thing you need to

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>know about each team. We begin with Scott and the

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Carolina Panthers. Yeah, I'm not going to keep it to

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 1>one because I'm terrible at this and I don't bother. Uh.

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Donald is looking great, but Terrace Marshall is just ripping

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:44.240
<v Speaker 1>up camp. And there's a great, great connection with Dan

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Arnold in camp right now that the Beat writers keep

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.919
<v Speaker 1>talking those two receivers, keep an eye for him lately,

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.639
<v Speaker 1>late late in your draft. All right, Matt. The Las

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Vegas Raiders offensive line went through a massive overhaul, and

0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>not necessarily for the better. The Raiders let three starters

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:05.080
<v Speaker 1>go this offseason. They'll have an unproven center, likely Andre James,

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>who had a Pro Football Focus grade of twenty four,

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 1>replacing Rodney Hudson who was a seventy three UH, and

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>then first round pick Alex Leatherwood, Richie Incognito who was

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 1>injured most of the last year, and Denzel Good who

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 1>should be named Denzel slightly below average after his rank

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.359
<v Speaker 1>of fifty nine among eighty four guards last year. It's

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a offensive line that's in flux all year

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>and it's going to be bad for the Raiders. And

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.399
<v Speaker 1>usually when you're when you turn over the offensive line

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>to that degree, it takes half a season before they

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>start to gell for the Packers. Often fantasy analysts will

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:43.839
<v Speaker 1>talk about vacated targets, and it's almost always within the

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>purview of wide receivers and tight ends. But I want

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>to talk about Jamal Williams, who leaves behind forty targets

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>thirty receptions in two forty receiving yards last year, and

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 1>now with Jamal Williams gone from Green Bay, where those

0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>targets going well, A J. Dillon does and catch have

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 1>three targets all of last year. Almost all of that

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>work probably goes to Aaron Jones, who could vault his

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 1>receiving numbers from the forty receptions into like the sixties

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 1>or seventies receptions, at which point he turns into Christian McCaffrey.

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the Washington football team. He just easily

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 1>turns into McCaffrey. I'm Christian McCaffrey. Supposedly, Ryan Fitzpatrick and

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Taylor Heineker are in a true battle for that starter job.

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>They did pay fits a ton of money, so I

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 1>think he'll start out, but Fits he's he's gonna have

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.160
<v Speaker 1>someone possibly coming in form later, sooner than later. One

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.919
<v Speaker 1>the frequent frustrations with Fits is that he's not a

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.720
<v Speaker 1>great practice quarterback. He's a game day quarterback. The other

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 1>thing is when he's given the reins, that's when he falters.

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:49.480
<v Speaker 1>It's when he comes in. Is when you're right, Buffalo Bills,

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 1>what's the one thing people need to know about the

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 1>team's offseason? People are overlooking Zack Moss and he's ready

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 1>to be the bell cow there and only eight fully

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 1>healthy games last year where he wasn't on the injury report.

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Four point six yards per touch and five touchdowns uh

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 1>and he was tied with Josh Allen in rushing attempts

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 1>from the infrared zone inside the ten with fifteen. He

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>was also Pro Football Focus his highest graded pass blocker

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.160
<v Speaker 1>amongst running backs last year, with an Elite eighty nine

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 1>point nine grade compared to Devin Singletary at forty five.

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Moss has a chance to be a three down back

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>this year. I love it. And he's going so late.

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Next to Houston Texans. With the loss of Will Fuller

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 1>and Randall Cobb, the Texans have one three vacated targets

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.839
<v Speaker 1>to account for. Brandon Cooks got a hundred nineteen targets

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 1>last year, so you can maybe get a few more,

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.799
<v Speaker 1>but not a lot. I think it's really worth watching

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:44.839
<v Speaker 1>the other position battles at wide receiver rookie Nico Collins,

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 1>as as is being described as having one of the

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.120
<v Speaker 1>best camps of any rookie. He's going off the board

0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:54.359
<v Speaker 1>as wide receiver one hundred sixty eight Nico Collins. He

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>might be a week one starter for a team that's

0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.159
<v Speaker 1>gonna be perpetually behind. He's a week one starter. Kick

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Cute's going off the board at wide receiver two D two.

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know there's no league that drafts two

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.799
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers. So those are guys that you could watch

0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 1>get late and we'll have the advantage of picking up

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 1>some of those vacated targets. Let's go to the Tampa

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:20.159
<v Speaker 1>Bay Buccaneers. Yeah, so, I think the big one here

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 1>is not only was Joe Bernard recruited by Tom Brady,

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 1>but apparently he's getting up to speed in camp and

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 1>they really like what they're seeing. Making an even bigger

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 1>mess out of that running back situation. And possibly one

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 1>to avoid or grab the cheapest. I'm a Ronald Jones guy.

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the Cleveland Browns. Matt Cleveland's tight ends

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 1>were targeted on thirty percent of Baker Mayfield's throws last season,

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.120
<v Speaker 1>which was good for third highest share in the league.

0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.040
<v Speaker 1>And Austin Hooper is currently going off the board is

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 1>tight end twenty three, which is the last round in

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 1>your draft. He was also targeted forty times in the

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Brown's final five games with the two playoff games included,

0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 1>and had three touchdown catches in the span. Also, the

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Browns have Pro Football focus, is highest rated old line,

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 1>so Hooper is not expected to stay in and block

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:10.120
<v Speaker 1>as much. I kind of like Hooper is a deep

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>sleeper this year. All right, we'll go to the Indianapolis Colts.

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 1>You guys already know the big story. Carson Wentz and

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Quentin Nelson are both have had foot surgery. Expected to

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.240
<v Speaker 1>miss a fair amount of time. Quentin Nelson, I think

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.520
<v Speaker 1>it's September. Carson Wentz probably October, just based on the mobility.

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 1>They need to play their positions. Jacob Eson is the

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>expected starter. Let's go to the Detroit Lions. So Hockinson

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 1>has been the best playing camp. I don't know if

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:35.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people have been hearing that, but the

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.160
<v Speaker 1>big news, the big news has been Campbell and Lynn

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>have consistently commented multiple times this offseason and during cramp

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.440
<v Speaker 1>camp that Swift and Williams will be a one two

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 1>punch and share and they've even made the dreaded hot hand.

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 1>So be aware of that. That is something to be

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.840
<v Speaker 1>aware of. Let's go to the New York Jets, completely

0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 1>new offense, new offensive coordinator, Mike Lafleur, Matt's brother, Zack Wilson,

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Michael Carter, Elijah More, Corey Davis, Elijah vera Tucker at guard.

0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.239
<v Speaker 1>But I wanted to mention Elijah Moore for a minute.

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.320
<v Speaker 1>He was the thirty fourth overall pick. Jets beat writers

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 1>are going bonkers over him. The athletics Connor Hughes says

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 1>he's the jets best player, not wide receiver player. On

0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>one targets at Old Miss last year, he was charged

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 1>with only two drops and he has a list on

0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 1>his bathroom mirror of all the wide receivers drafted ahead

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:35.160
<v Speaker 1>of him and he looks at it every day. I

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of like that Old Marie Jones jew thing right,

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:43.080
<v Speaker 1>he did that too, something similar maybe I know, you

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.439
<v Speaker 1>know Randy Moss, you know, like remembered every team that

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.960
<v Speaker 1>passed on him in the draft. I remember that in

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City. Last time we saw the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 1>is getting bulldozed in the Super Bowl. So wisely they

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.360
<v Speaker 1>overhauled their offensive line. They released long time tackles Eric

0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz. The Chiefs traded for Ravens starting

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 1>tackle Orlando Brown, and Brown has gotten better every year.

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.319
<v Speaker 1>He's a very good pass blocker in particular. The other

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 1>big move was signing left guard Joe Thuney and free agency.

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 1>He's developed into one of the NFL's best guards. And

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.240
<v Speaker 1>then the right guard. They actually have a battle there

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:17.960
<v Speaker 1>between doctor Laurent duvern A tard If, the guy who

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:22.320
<v Speaker 1>opted out to work is a frontline healthcare worker last year,

0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:26.320
<v Speaker 1>and the unretired Kyle Long. So you know that's real

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:31.080
<v Speaker 1>significant improvement. Yeah, you know, it's it's it's it was

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.200
<v Speaker 1>a brilliant offseason. And I think, by the way, they

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>also changed the upgrade of their centered Austin Blight from

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 1>the Ramps. So Chiefs are in a great spot this year.

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the Seattle Seahawks. Yeah, I'm gonna go

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.079
<v Speaker 1>a little deeper here, something that's not talked about as much,

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 1>but the Seahawks want to run a whole lot more

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 1>they want this year for some reason. And d J.

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Dallas has been getting all the third down passing role

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:53.680
<v Speaker 1>work and they talked about him as being the change

0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 1>of base, come in on third ground, third down for

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Carson guy. If that's true late in drafts, he might

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 1>be a value for those guys people if you miss on,

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:02.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, starting running backs. All right, let's go to

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 1>the Denver Broncos. The one thing people need to know

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 1>from the off season. We'll talk about the quarterback controversy later,

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.439
<v Speaker 1>but George Payton is building the Broncos in a Mike

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Zimmer fashion, beefing up the secondary and also drafting the

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.320
<v Speaker 1>air apparent in the second round at running back in

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Javonte Williams. With Drew Lock ranking first in NFL interceptions

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 1>and thirty fet and catchable pass rates, and Teddy Bridgewater

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>not seen as a downfield threat, this team sets up

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 1>to run at a top five clip with Williams and

0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:35.079
<v Speaker 1>Melvin Gordon. I've got the rams. You know the story

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 1>on cam Akers already out for the year. Let's talk

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:41.320
<v Speaker 1>about Darryl Henderson, the third round pick from who lost

0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 1>his job to Acres last year. Head coach Sean McVeigh

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 1>says that Henderson's in every down back, but also notes

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 1>that durability is a concern. Last year, in his nine

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>games with at least twenty five snaps, Henderson averaged fifty

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 1>four rushing yards fourteen receiving yards in four and half

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.640
<v Speaker 1>yards per carry, which is kind of like right in

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the right in the middle. Worrisome to me, though, Henderson

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.719
<v Speaker 1>was notably worse than lee average and positive run rate,

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 1>worse in yards after contact, worse in catch rate. He's

0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:16.079
<v Speaker 1>now going roughly the fourth round for Darryl Henderson. There's

0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.079
<v Speaker 1>if he's he needs to be a materially better back

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:19.880
<v Speaker 1>than the guy that we saw last year. Let's go

0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:25.319
<v Speaker 1>to the Philadelphia Eagles. Scott Yes, So Philadelphia Eagles. Jalen

0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Reagors just getting healthiest. Devanta Smith injures his m c

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 1>L and will miss a few weeks, but he should

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.640
<v Speaker 1>be ready for this season. But I think the bigger

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 1>news is the offense. They're They're catering the offense to

0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Earth's that's the plan. That's what they're installing. An offense

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:42.560
<v Speaker 1>that with Kata cat to hurts skills. Um, so I'm

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.079
<v Speaker 1>starting to like him a lot more if they're not

0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna try to shoehorn and an old offense in there.

0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the Miami Dolphins. What's the one thing

0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>people need to know from their off season? The Miami Dolphins.

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Chan Gailey is gone and co offensive coordinators Eric Stoodsville

0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:01.520
<v Speaker 1>and George Godzi spent the entire off season developing an

0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 1>offense around Tua and at Bama, Ta had the top

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 1>pass rating in the country in nineteen on throws between

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 1>one and nineteen yards, relying heavily on yak that's yards

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:14.960
<v Speaker 1>after catch. They brought in Will Fuller and his five

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 1>point five YAK and drafted noted yakker Jalen Waddle leads

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:21.559
<v Speaker 1>me to believe it's going to be a short, pass

0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 1>heavy offense for the Dolphins this year. In Minnesota, they

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:26.960
<v Speaker 1>spent first and third round picks on their offensive line

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 1>in an effort to improve one of the league's worst lines.

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:34.400
<v Speaker 1>But Christian Derris Saw and why Davis Bose both missed

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.240
<v Speaker 1>the entire off season program, and they've been in and

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.680
<v Speaker 1>out of the lineups in training camp as well. Fantasy

0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:42.959
<v Speaker 1>owners need to be prepared for the prospect of a

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Vikings offensive line that could even be worse than last year's,

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.720
<v Speaker 1>particularly early on in the season. Let's go to the

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Dallas Cowboys. What's the one thing Scott that people need

0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:57.320
<v Speaker 1>to know? So, uh, we've all seen to the wide

0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 1>receivers are doing a ton in practice. That's that's great now,

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:03.040
<v Speaker 1>but the plan is to be more conservative with Dac.

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Apparently he's he's got a slight injury right now, possibly

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 1>running less, so maybe those six touchdowns rushing are are

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.839
<v Speaker 1>going to be gone this season. And they've they're also

0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 1>talking about lightning Zeke's roll throughout the season with the

0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 1>playoffs in mind, and I think that's a very important

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 1>thing to know. Let's go to the New England Patriots, Matt.

0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 1>They're the most run heavy team in the league last

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.240
<v Speaker 1>nger Cam Newton and Bill Belichick does not want you

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.080
<v Speaker 1>to believe that was going to happen again this year.

0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 1>They added John U, JOHNU Hunter, Henry Nelson Aglar, and

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Kendrick Born in free agency and did You know that

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Kendrick Borne, as the nondescript fourth wide receiver in San Francisco,

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.640
<v Speaker 1>would have tied for the team lead in red zone

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:44.120
<v Speaker 1>targets with ten, and John Wu had seventeen and Hunter

0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Henry had fourteen and Cam only through thirty six passes

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.839
<v Speaker 1>inside the twenty last year. They're going to throw more

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.319
<v Speaker 1>inside the red zone. Whether or not it's Cam is

0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.319
<v Speaker 1>yet to be seen. Though. I'm warming up to John

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 1>U Johnu again, and you guys are gonna get sick

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.560
<v Speaker 1>of about me here hearing about me talk about him

0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 1>this preseason as well. There's very long track history of

0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:03.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, top five tight ends being the number one

0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 1>or number two options on their team. John is almost

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.199
<v Speaker 1>guaranteed to be that on his team. I think he

0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I think he is. Let's go to the Saints there

0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of a quarterback battle between Taysom Hill

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 1>and Jamis Winston. Sean Payton had previously said that both

0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:17.719
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks will get time with the first team. Um, and

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.040
<v Speaker 1>they are doing that, but there's no early indication who's

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna win this job. But fantasy owners should be rooting

0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:26.080
<v Speaker 1>for Jameis Winston here. He's had keep in mind we

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.280
<v Speaker 1>are one year removed from him being QB one in

0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 1>many scoring systems, when in his mythical thirty thirty year,

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.360
<v Speaker 1>when if you really get out some track for interceptions,

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Jameis Winston was probably the top scoring quarterback in twenty nineteen.

0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Where we're less than a year removed from taste Hill

0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:46.240
<v Speaker 1>having a bunch of QB one games in relief last

0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 1>its true look's the one thing people need to know

0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:52.400
<v Speaker 1>from the Giants. So I'm most people I'm sure know

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 1>about Si Kwon Barkley. They're taking it easy. There's been

0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.680
<v Speaker 1>reports that he might not they might ease him back

0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 1>so slow we might not see him till we three.

0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 1>That's not what I want to mention here. What I

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 1>want to mention here, Okay, let's see how I go

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:07.080
<v Speaker 1>to It's like the eight plus is Sterling Shepherd has

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 1>been the stand up at camp and a lot of

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.520
<v Speaker 1>people wonder who's that receiver that you should have after Golliday,

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.040
<v Speaker 1>it seems like it's it's Shepherd. It's not. It's not

0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:15.600
<v Speaker 1>any of the other options. I don't have his a

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.360
<v Speaker 1>DP in front of me, but man, it's he's going

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:22.200
<v Speaker 1>like round Sterling Shepherd. You'll be able to get him

0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.400
<v Speaker 1>very late and Kenny Golladay may not even start the season.

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 1>What's the one thing people need to know from the Texans? Titans? Titans?

0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Thank you? There we go. According to Warren Sharp, the

0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Titans ran the ball only four percent of the time

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:40.200
<v Speaker 1>last year when trailing, four percent compared to the average

0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 1>of thirty five. Okay. And their defense is bad and

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:47.360
<v Speaker 1>it's still bad ranking and defensive efficiency by Pro Football

0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Focus and expected points allowed per play. And they cut

0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 1>both starting corners, but dupri was their big ad in

0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 1>free agency. This tells me this defense is going to

0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.720
<v Speaker 1>be bad, and this offense is going to throw all

0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 1>year to Julio and a j. Brown. That could end

0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:05.480
<v Speaker 1>up happening every A lot of people really like Tannehill

0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.680
<v Speaker 1>this year in Pittsburgh. The offensive line is ranked twenty

0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 1>nine by Pro Football Focus and the team barely addressed

0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.920
<v Speaker 1>it in the off season. It's got four new starters

0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and one returning starter who's playing out a position. Last year,

0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Ben Roethlisberger had the shortest time to throw of all

0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:24.680
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks in the league, two point three seconds. That's it.

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know how your te how your offense

0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 1>can get that much better when your lines this bad.

0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 1>A lot of concern over the offensive line that did

0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 1>not get addressed adequately by the Steelers in the off season.

0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the Atlanta Falcon Scott. Yeah, so I'm

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna go to the running back position here where Mike

0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Davis is the starter. But do we know that he

0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.720
<v Speaker 1>can be the full role? So who's who's the second back? There?

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:53.360
<v Speaker 1>They have court Darryl Patterson listed as running back and

0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:58.000
<v Speaker 1>he's getting the reps in front of Quadria Allison whose

0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:01.440
<v Speaker 1>career longest run is six yards, and a very small

0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.480
<v Speaker 1>rookie and Javian Hawkins. We might see a world where

0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Cordarrell Patterson is it running back in fantasy this year?

0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I can fall forward for six yards? Well yeah, I

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.159
<v Speaker 1>mean two of you could. Let's go to the Cincinnati Bengals.

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.840
<v Speaker 1>What's the one thing people need to know? Red alert

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.879
<v Speaker 1>the athletics since Beat writers Jay Morrison and Paul Dana

0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:25.440
<v Speaker 1>reported earlier this week that the offense is an absolute disaster.

0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.359
<v Speaker 1>The pass rush continue to break through the offensive line.

0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:32.159
<v Speaker 1>Nearly every pass that wasn't wildly off the mark was

0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:36.840
<v Speaker 1>heavily contested, broken up, or intercepted. Multiple turnovers are happening

0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:39.760
<v Speaker 1>during every practice. Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins are losing

0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:43.640
<v Speaker 1>battles with Eli Apple, Jamaar Chase is dropping wide open passes,

0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.879
<v Speaker 1>and the Bengals have a bad defense. So this isn't

0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:50.560
<v Speaker 1>like a great defense they're going against. It's bad. And

0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.440
<v Speaker 1>since right now, let's hope it changes because Burrow is

0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:55.840
<v Speaker 1>going to be running if that offensive line can't protect him.

0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:59.080
<v Speaker 1>So all the Jamar Chase one handed highlights, they're they're

0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 1>they're glossy over the bad stuff that's going on in

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:04.760
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco. I'm tempted to talk about the quarterback situation,

0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:06.720
<v Speaker 1>but everybody's tracking it really closely, and I think you

0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.359
<v Speaker 1>know that and we might talk about it. Next segment

0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.920
<v Speaker 1>was drafted right. You know it's gonna come up again soon,

0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 1>but let me mention it's The Niners offensive line got

0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:17.000
<v Speaker 1>two key boosts in the off season. They re signed

0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:20.320
<v Speaker 1>left tackle Trent Williams and then they acquired veterans center

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Alex Mack. Trent Williams was the number one ranked tackle

0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:27.480
<v Speaker 1>last year. Alex mac is a steady veteran line gets

0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.280
<v Speaker 1>even better in the off season. Scott, what's the one

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.399
<v Speaker 1>thing people need to know about the Cardinals. A j

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Green has been lights out in camp, leading many to

0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:39.760
<v Speaker 1>speculate the last year's issues were lack of effort and

0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:43.080
<v Speaker 1>not wanting to be there anymore rather than being washed.

0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.399
<v Speaker 1>Uh insert Kaiser so say straightening his leg out me

0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:52.040
<v Speaker 1>as he walks to Arizona. Uh, let's go to Jacksonville, Matt.

0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:54.480
<v Speaker 1>The Jags ranked thirty second in the league and rushing

0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:57.399
<v Speaker 1>attempts last year. And you insert Urban Meyer and Darryl

0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:02.639
<v Speaker 1>Bevil and Travis En. That's how he pronounced it. Okay, alright,

0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:05.560
<v Speaker 1>yeah he would know. Yeah. According to Pro Football Focus

0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:08.800
<v Speaker 1>in and twenty while with the Lions, Bevel ranked eleventh

0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:12.479
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL among offensive coordinators in neutral game script

0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.879
<v Speaker 1>run play rate. The Lions also ran the ball at

0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.080
<v Speaker 1>the eleventh highest clip from inside the five, and Urban

0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Meyers a long track record of using quarterbacks to run

0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.520
<v Speaker 1>the ball from inside the five yard line. In Baltimore,

0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:25.439
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of flux at the wide receiver position.

0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:28.240
<v Speaker 1>The team drafted Rishadde Bateman, who has looked very good

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:31.240
<v Speaker 1>so our in training camp. Baltimore brought in Sammy Watkins,

0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:36.879
<v Speaker 1>a perpetual career long underperformer, Watkins and Bateman likely battle

0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:39.160
<v Speaker 1>for a starting spot. Marcus Brown has got a significant

0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:41.320
<v Speaker 1>hamstring injury. You need to watch. He may not be

0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:43.719
<v Speaker 1>available for the start of the season and or and

0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:46.439
<v Speaker 1>or may miss a bunch of time. And Miles Boykin

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.960
<v Speaker 1>might be cut allgether, which is a bumber. He was

0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 1>one of my one of my deep sleepers at this

0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:55.199
<v Speaker 1>time last year. Hoops, all right, two teams, What is

0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:57.280
<v Speaker 1>the one thing people need to know about the Chicago Bears.

0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Damian Williams is impressing as a rece ever, while tree

0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Cone is still out, He's got that number two running

0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:07.080
<v Speaker 1>back role between the tackles locked up. Now it looks

0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:09.200
<v Speaker 1>like he might get some passing work. I just drafted

0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:13.680
<v Speaker 1>him in mattch Empire League. And finally the Chargers, Oh,

0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:17.840
<v Speaker 1>it's passing time because new offensive coordinator Joel Lombardi loves

0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:20.520
<v Speaker 1>the pass. The Chargers already led the NFL in plays

0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:23.520
<v Speaker 1>per game last season, and in Lombardi's short tenure as

0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the Lions o C, he had them passed the ball

0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:29.920
<v Speaker 1>in sixty percent of plays. At that clip. Justin air,

0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Bear would be throwing forty six passes per game and

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:38.520
<v Speaker 1>would be on pace for five thousand, seven twenty yards

0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:41.640
<v Speaker 1>and forty one touchdowns in a seventeen game year. It's

0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:47.320
<v Speaker 1>air Bear time, Bear time. You can you can draft

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:49.320
<v Speaker 1>him in a Guillotine League if you like. Learn more

<v Speaker 1>the training camp battles will be watching throughout the month

0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:21.760
<v Speaker 1>of aug When we returned to Fantasy Football Weekly, Welcome

0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:25.040
<v Speaker 1>back Fantasy Football Weekly on Paul Giarchi and Guillotine leagues

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:29.240
<v Speaker 1>dot com. Like co hosts are Matt Harrison and Scott fish,

0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I have challenged both of you to come up with

0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:34.680
<v Speaker 1>the training camp battles that we need to follow. Let's

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:38.159
<v Speaker 1>begin with you, Scott, what's the first one? Let me

0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:41.920
<v Speaker 1>turn on my mic here. Uh. Gabriel Davis a sleeper

0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:44.320
<v Speaker 1>that we were a guy we liked last year, a

0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:47.280
<v Speaker 1>guy we liked coming into this year. But unfortunately he's

0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:49.800
<v Speaker 1>battling with Manny Sanders, who they picked up the Buffalo

0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Bills picked up this offseason, and it seems like Manuel

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Sanders has beaten him out for the job almost already.

0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:57.680
<v Speaker 1>They're still battling it out, but he's above him on

0:21:57.720 --> 0:21:59.560
<v Speaker 1>the depth chart and getting more with looks with the ones.

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:01.679
<v Speaker 1>We'll see how that plays out, but it's not the

0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:05.160
<v Speaker 1>outcome most of us. Well, you know we're going for game.

0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:07.640
<v Speaker 1>We are for sure, Matt. What is the training camp

0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:11.440
<v Speaker 1>battle you're following next? Uh? Andy Dalton versus Justin Fields

0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:16.040
<v Speaker 1>versus Nick FLEs Um. It's worth noting that Andy Dalton

0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:19.560
<v Speaker 1>is sporting a sweet new red mustache and an Oakley

0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:23.720
<v Speaker 1>style orange reflective visor and the number nine and the Bears,

0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:26.760
<v Speaker 1>so he kind of looks like mustache. Jim McMahon, that's

0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:31.639
<v Speaker 1>pretty awesome. Uh. Speaking of Fields, everything out of camp

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:33.680
<v Speaker 1>is that the Bears don't want to be forced into

0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:36.440
<v Speaker 1>playing him right away, and Dalton has looked steady, while

0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Fields has impressed with his athleticism and velocity on his ball,

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:42.879
<v Speaker 1>but he hasn't overtly taken the job from Dalton as

0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:46.000
<v Speaker 1>of yet. My guess is Dalton probably starts September and

0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Fields is coming later in the fall. I was recently

0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:51.400
<v Speaker 1>in Chicago on the score six seventy my friends there

0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:54.359
<v Speaker 1>and they I asked the two co hosts I was with,

0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:57.480
<v Speaker 1>when what's the weak number in which the transfer happens

0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:01.280
<v Speaker 1>from Dalton to Field and one hole Stanford third week

0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:03.600
<v Speaker 1>and one answered the fifth week. I was going week

0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:07.880
<v Speaker 1>four when they play the Lions. That's easy enough, soft matchup.

0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I like bringing in bringing in the rookie at that time. Alright,

0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:13.680
<v Speaker 1>let's go to our next training camp battle. Scott, Jacob

0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Eason and Sam Ellinger for the Colts. The it's Easton's

0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:20.159
<v Speaker 1>job right now, that is what Frank Craig says. But

0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:25.000
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna fall. They're they're gonna battle it out. But

0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:27.800
<v Speaker 1>this first preseason game, Easton's gonna get the first half,

0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Ellener is gonna get the second half. Easton's the big

0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:32.960
<v Speaker 1>arm guy, but Sam is the dual threat guy, and

0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:35.800
<v Speaker 1>there's something there that he might he they might want

0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:37.800
<v Speaker 1>to go to him because he's looked good in camp

0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:41.040
<v Speaker 1>and Easton hasn't. By the way, no relation to Tony Easton.

0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I looked it up because I thought there might be.

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:47.400
<v Speaker 1>They're not. There's no connection. Everybody was thinking about, well, yeah,

0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:50.000
<v Speaker 1>who doesn't want to tap into the Tony Easton pedigree line?

0:23:50.160 --> 0:23:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Everybody does. Matt, what's the next training camp battle? We're

0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:54.440
<v Speaker 1>following you touched on a little bit chart and it's

0:23:54.520 --> 0:23:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Jamis Winston versus Taysom Hill, and everything that I've read

0:23:57.400 --> 0:23:59.720
<v Speaker 1>on this one is it's a dead heat and possibly

0:23:59.760 --> 0:24:02.720
<v Speaker 1>that both play in Week one, but the camp notes

0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:05.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of talk about both being unimpressive and mostly working

0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:09.760
<v Speaker 1>as run game coordinators. If that's the case, the Saints

0:24:09.760 --> 0:24:12.120
<v Speaker 1>look like a run heavy team as they were last year.

0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:14.520
<v Speaker 1>They ran the fifth most in the NFL last year.

0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:16.919
<v Speaker 1>So if that's the case, I'd put my money on

0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Hill as the starter right now. However, Hill's just not

0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the passer Winston is. Making him the full time starter

0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:25.480
<v Speaker 1>would also take away his ability to be weapon ax

0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:29.120
<v Speaker 1>out there. But right now, the tea leaves trend towards Hill.

0:24:29.359 --> 0:24:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I'd put it as a fifty three forty seven kind

0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:33.639
<v Speaker 1>of lead right now. I'm rooting for Winston because I

0:24:33.680 --> 0:24:35.760
<v Speaker 1>don't think he'll can pass. I'm rooting for Hill because

0:24:35.760 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I have on a lot of teams all right, and

0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:40.000
<v Speaker 1>you need him to start or you can never start him.

0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:44.080
<v Speaker 1>If Taston Hillton start a game, you can never put

0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:46.159
<v Speaker 1>I think you're gonna be comfortable starting either of the

0:24:46.160 --> 0:24:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Saints quarterbacks this year. Yeah, like if, if, if Winston's

0:24:50.840 --> 0:24:53.119
<v Speaker 1>the starter. You know, Hill's coming into the game to

0:24:53.160 --> 0:24:56.040
<v Speaker 1>steal some stuff and whether it's red zone or it's

0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:58.119
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the field. Yeah, but I don't think

0:24:58.119 --> 0:24:59.879
<v Speaker 1>he will impact just passing that much. And that's all

0:24:59.880 --> 0:25:02.159
<v Speaker 1>I want Winston for anyway. I think Winston can be

0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:05.360
<v Speaker 1>startable if if he's if he's getting almost all the work.

0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:07.919
<v Speaker 1>To me, I think if Hill wins the job, I

0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:10.920
<v Speaker 1>think that we have a clear cut path of who's

0:25:10.960 --> 0:25:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the starter and who's gonna play the most snaps, Scott,

0:25:13.960 --> 0:25:16.600
<v Speaker 1>what's the next training camp battle we're following? Uh, Drew

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Lock and Teddy Bridgewater over there in Denver. Right now,

0:25:20.040 --> 0:25:23.159
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like the slight edges to Lock. But Teddy

0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:29.399
<v Speaker 1>has been unleashing some fifteen plus yard downfield and making

0:25:29.440 --> 0:25:32.280
<v Speaker 1>them look good. Drew Lock, after a bad first day,

0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:34.800
<v Speaker 1>went four or five straight days without an interception against

0:25:34.800 --> 0:25:38.280
<v Speaker 1>that very decent defense. So that's one to watch. But

0:25:38.400 --> 0:25:40.080
<v Speaker 1>right now it sounds like Lock might just say the

0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:42.840
<v Speaker 1>slight edge all right? Rooting for Drew Lock. Yeah, better

0:25:42.840 --> 0:25:44.879
<v Speaker 1>for fantasy. It's better for fantasy. It's this is a

0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:47.360
<v Speaker 1>fantasy show. That's why we care about that. Matt, What's

0:25:47.359 --> 0:25:50.880
<v Speaker 1>the next training Campattle, we're following forty quarterbacks Jimmy Gee

0:25:51.040 --> 0:25:55.919
<v Speaker 1>versus Tray Lance, and everyone in forty Niners camp is

0:25:56.160 --> 0:26:00.240
<v Speaker 1>fawning over Tray Lance. His athleticism and running ability have

0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:04.680
<v Speaker 1>all the Niners beat writers drooling. They've said they've unleashed

0:26:04.720 --> 0:26:07.679
<v Speaker 1>him as a runner and scrimmages and while the crowd's there,

0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:09.399
<v Speaker 1>and it's kind of like when the Beatles came to

0:26:09.480 --> 0:26:13.399
<v Speaker 1>America for the first Very similar, very similar. However, Kyle

0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Shanahan has been quoted multiple times that it's Jimmy G's

0:26:16.600 --> 0:26:19.480
<v Speaker 1>team and would be extremely hard for Lance to beat

0:26:19.480 --> 0:26:22.399
<v Speaker 1>out Garoppolo for the job by week one. Shanahan has

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:24.880
<v Speaker 1>also said that Jimmy G has been really good in practice,

0:26:25.000 --> 0:26:27.840
<v Speaker 1>although his mobility is just not what it used to

0:26:27.880 --> 0:26:31.159
<v Speaker 1>be after ankle injuries plagued season and an a c L.

0:26:32.920 --> 0:26:35.520
<v Speaker 1>It's only a matter of time and it's coming. It

0:26:35.560 --> 0:26:38.000
<v Speaker 1>seems like it's coming sooner than later. For Trey Lance,

0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:40.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm fully on board. The most interesting fact about the

0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Fourners is they've installed spit tunes along the sidelines for

0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the beat reporters. For they are they drool tunes all right?

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Scott what's an next training camp battle? Let's stay in

0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Denver with Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon. Beat reporters and

0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:02.880
<v Speaker 1>UH people close to the team have consistently said it's

0:27:03.080 --> 0:27:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Melvin's job, even though a lot of fantasy people think

0:27:05.760 --> 0:27:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Javant is going to take it over, and he might

0:27:08.160 --> 0:27:10.960
<v Speaker 1>at some point. They've said, Javonte looks great, he looks

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:13.720
<v Speaker 1>great with hel pads, he looks great with pads. But

0:27:13.800 --> 0:27:16.440
<v Speaker 1>at this point, it's Melvin's job. But there there's a battle.

0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we don't want to hear that. No, we

0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:21.040
<v Speaker 1>always want the new guy. We always want the fresh blood.

0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:25.560
<v Speaker 1>But I think if it's like most situations, the veterans

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:28.159
<v Speaker 1>starts the season get most of the work. You know,

0:27:28.480 --> 0:27:30.200
<v Speaker 1>That's how it goes. All right, Matt, what's the next

0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:33.320
<v Speaker 1>training camp battle we're following? I got the Arizona Cardinals

0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:37.280
<v Speaker 1>were running back competition. That's Chase Edmonds versus James Conner.

0:27:38.040 --> 0:27:41.479
<v Speaker 1>Edmonds had at snap rate last year. Kenyan Drake had

0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:47.360
<v Speaker 1>about that seems like a split backfield to me, and Edmonds,

0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:50.240
<v Speaker 1>when asked about being an RB one this year, said

0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:52.760
<v Speaker 1>and I quote, we're both going to play a lot

0:27:52.800 --> 0:27:55.320
<v Speaker 1>this year, we're both going to make plays. So RB

0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:58.760
<v Speaker 1>one really don't mean much. Means a lot to be ah, yeah,

0:27:58.800 --> 0:28:00.760
<v Speaker 1>it means a lot to fancy player. What's interesting is

0:28:00.880 --> 0:28:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Edmonds has a bit more versatility. They lined him up

0:28:03.520 --> 0:28:12.199
<v Speaker 1>in the slot exactly nine nine times. There we go.

0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:15.320
<v Speaker 1>That's something that James Conner really doesn't do at the

0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:17.760
<v Speaker 1>very best. You're looking at a sixty forty split for

0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:21.400
<v Speaker 1>one of these backs due to injury concerns for Connor,

0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:24.320
<v Speaker 1>that favors Edmonds. But even in games where Kenyan Drake

0:28:24.359 --> 0:28:27.119
<v Speaker 1>was absent last year, Edmonds did very little with the

0:28:27.119 --> 0:28:31.080
<v Speaker 1>op It was very disappointing. All right, let's get to

0:28:31.119 --> 0:28:34.280
<v Speaker 1>our next training camp battle Scott. Okay, So the last

0:28:34.359 --> 0:28:37.560
<v Speaker 1>one or the next one I have is the Chargers

0:28:37.880 --> 0:28:42.040
<v Speaker 1>receivers with Josh Palmer, Tyrand Johnson, and Jalen Guyton. Right now,

0:28:42.560 --> 0:28:45.640
<v Speaker 1>this depth chart might surprise you. The order listed now

0:28:45.920 --> 0:28:49.360
<v Speaker 1>from coming out of the camp, Josh Palmer ahead of

0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Ron Johnson and Jalen Guyton, all three of made great

0:28:52.760 --> 0:28:55.880
<v Speaker 1>plays in camp. Williams is also, they say, is connection

0:28:56.120 --> 0:28:58.320
<v Speaker 1>is amazing with her about this camp. But right now

0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:00.360
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like Palmer's running slightly a head of them,

0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:03.480
<v Speaker 1>despite they're all making great plays, all right, that offense

0:29:03.560 --> 0:29:06.160
<v Speaker 1>might go crazy, all right. When we come back, we

0:29:06.280 --> 0:29:09.600
<v Speaker 1>will work through a Dynasty or Empire rookie draft by

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:14.560
<v Speaker 1>a DP. Here's who you all America are taking first, second, third, fourth,

0:29:14.600 --> 0:29:16.680
<v Speaker 1>all the way through the first round, and we'll tell

0:29:16.680 --> 0:29:19.120
<v Speaker 1>you if you're getting it right or wrong, who's going

0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:22.120
<v Speaker 1>in the right place, who's not. Who should you be

0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:25.840
<v Speaker 1>reaching for in your Dynasty or Empire rookie draft. When

0:29:25.880 --> 0:29:53.600
<v Speaker 1>we return to Fantasy Football Weekly, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

0:29:53.600 --> 0:29:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm pulled charching. My co hosts are Matt Harrison and

0:29:56.120 --> 0:30:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Scott Fish getting you ready for draft season. I'm already

0:30:00.320 --> 0:30:02.040
<v Speaker 1>drafting in a bunch of leagues. I know you guys

0:30:02.080 --> 0:30:05.200
<v Speaker 1>are too, and but for most people, they're just they

0:30:05.280 --> 0:30:06.760
<v Speaker 1>know they're starting to warm up to it now start

0:30:06.800 --> 0:30:08.800
<v Speaker 1>to think about their draft. It's gonna happen like two weeks,

0:30:08.880 --> 0:30:11.160
<v Speaker 1>three weeks that charts. We had a rookie draft going on.

0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:14.680
<v Speaker 1>This week we did It's it gets real thin this year,

0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:18.239
<v Speaker 1>real thin, really fast. You're gonna hear about how thin

0:30:18.360 --> 0:30:21.840
<v Speaker 1>it gets really next segment. The next two segments this

0:30:21.880 --> 0:30:24.560
<v Speaker 1>segment is gonna be filled with guys who were really interested.

0:30:24.600 --> 0:30:27.640
<v Speaker 1>In the next two segments, we're gonna go through the

0:30:27.720 --> 0:30:31.640
<v Speaker 1>rookie drafts by average draft position for those in dynasty leagues,

0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Keeper leagues, Empire leagues, and we'll identify who's going in

0:30:35.080 --> 0:30:36.880
<v Speaker 1>what position, and then whether or not that player is

0:30:36.880 --> 0:30:39.720
<v Speaker 1>going too high, too low, or about right. We'll do

0:30:39.800 --> 0:30:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the first round of this segment, we'll do the second

0:30:41.840 --> 0:30:44.040
<v Speaker 1>round next segment, and man, it just falls off a

0:30:44.080 --> 0:30:47.600
<v Speaker 1>cliff at one point in round two, and we'll talk

0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:50.200
<v Speaker 1>about that when we get there. So first let me

0:30:50.200 --> 0:30:52.520
<v Speaker 1>mention this. This is we are doing a one quarterback league,

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:54.240
<v Speaker 1>so we are not doing super flax or not doing

0:30:54.280 --> 0:30:57.120
<v Speaker 1>two quarterback because in those leagues it's moves the quarterbacks

0:30:57.160 --> 0:30:59.720
<v Speaker 1>just right to the top. And here this we're assuming

0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:01.760
<v Speaker 1>you're an one quarterback league, which is still the way

0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:04.600
<v Speaker 1>most people play. We like super flex, but play the

0:31:04.640 --> 0:31:06.880
<v Speaker 1>way you want to play, right, We don't leave the

0:31:06.920 --> 0:31:11.480
<v Speaker 1>average draft position at number one is Naji Harris, Pittsburgh

0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:14.720
<v Speaker 1>running back Naji Harris. Is that too high, too low,

0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:17.320
<v Speaker 1>or about right? That's where I got him on my

0:31:17.680 --> 0:31:21.440
<v Speaker 1>dynasty ranks at shock Fantasy. So you know, Promo Code

0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Radio if you want to go, be a member there.

0:31:23.080 --> 0:31:25.320
<v Speaker 1>But Naji Harris is exactly where I got him. I'm

0:31:25.360 --> 0:31:28.880
<v Speaker 1>not concerned about the poor offensive line. Good running backs

0:31:28.920 --> 0:31:32.560
<v Speaker 1>have overcome poor offensive lines in the past and been

0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:35.440
<v Speaker 1>good fantasy producers. So Dalvin Cook's done it many years

0:31:35.440 --> 0:31:38.440
<v Speaker 1>in a row. Just fine with Naji right there? Okay, Uh,

0:31:38.560 --> 0:31:41.120
<v Speaker 1>offensive line worries me a little bit as well. I

0:31:41.160 --> 0:31:43.480
<v Speaker 1>think there are others you can make a case for

0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:45.720
<v Speaker 1>in this spot. But do you have a problem with

0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:50.200
<v Speaker 1>it here nor? I don't. He wouldn't be my first

0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:53.160
<v Speaker 1>because generally in a league where you're picking one overall,

0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:55.000
<v Speaker 1>unless you're traded for it, you're the worst team. And

0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I'd rather go after running backs when I'm starting to contend,

0:31:57.680 --> 0:32:01.640
<v Speaker 1>then that's good point and grabbing a running back over

0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:04.560
<v Speaker 1>one overall. So he's not my one. But um so,

0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I guess you can guess to high. I guess he's

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:10.160
<v Speaker 1>going to high. It's still fair, but he's just at

0:32:10.200 --> 0:32:11.959
<v Speaker 1>least a couple of spots too high for me. Alright.

0:32:12.240 --> 0:32:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Average draft position the second rookie off the board. This

0:32:15.600 --> 0:32:20.280
<v Speaker 1>is America's average draft position. Cincinnati wide receiver Jamar Chase

0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:22.480
<v Speaker 1>he was the first wide receiver taken in the draft. Scott,

0:32:22.560 --> 0:32:24.880
<v Speaker 1>is this too low? Too higher? About right? Well, based

0:32:24.920 --> 0:32:27.280
<v Speaker 1>on what I just said, obviously my number one is

0:32:27.400 --> 0:32:30.680
<v Speaker 1>probably Chase or the guy will talk about next. I'm

0:32:30.720 --> 0:32:32.520
<v Speaker 1>completely fine with him at two if you want to

0:32:32.520 --> 0:32:34.640
<v Speaker 1>take the guy we're gonna talk about next at one.

0:32:34.680 --> 0:32:37.320
<v Speaker 1>But it's it's fair, it's fine, you know, it's it's

0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:40.360
<v Speaker 1>right on the spot. I'd probably take him one. I've

0:32:40.400 --> 0:32:43.320
<v Speaker 1>got Chase at my number four rookie off the board,

0:32:43.400 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 1>so this is too high for me. There's two guys

0:32:45.600 --> 0:32:48.560
<v Speaker 1>that I would like a lot more than Mr Chase,

0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:51.360
<v Speaker 1>and there's a lot of mouse defeat in that Cincinnati offense.

0:32:51.520 --> 0:32:53.560
<v Speaker 1>You know. Running back lover, I'm kind of with you

0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:55.680
<v Speaker 1>as well. I think it is a little bit too high.

0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:58.920
<v Speaker 1>And they're only in this particular year, there's only four

0:32:58.960 --> 0:33:03.040
<v Speaker 1>running backs even want to draft, and so I you know,

0:33:03.200 --> 0:33:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I think I would want to have gotten a running

0:33:05.080 --> 0:33:07.760
<v Speaker 1>back by here. But then there's the next guy, well,

0:33:07.800 --> 0:33:10.360
<v Speaker 1>I think might also be a better a better player

0:33:10.440 --> 0:33:13.960
<v Speaker 1>for this particular spot. The number three average draft position

0:33:14.000 --> 0:33:18.160
<v Speaker 1>player is Kyle Pitts, going off the board in redraft

0:33:18.240 --> 0:33:21.440
<v Speaker 1>leagues at at tight end four. What do you think

0:33:21.440 --> 0:33:24.320
<v Speaker 1>about Kyle Pitts going off the board at position number three, Well,

0:33:24.360 --> 0:33:27.880
<v Speaker 1>it's ridiculous for re draft leagues, number four tight end overall,

0:33:28.080 --> 0:33:32.040
<v Speaker 1>but this guy is a generational talent from all all

0:33:32.240 --> 0:33:35.560
<v Speaker 1>uh all accounts. I think that you can make the

0:33:35.560 --> 0:33:39.000
<v Speaker 1>case for him at number one, and he's definitely one

0:33:39.040 --> 0:33:41.720
<v Speaker 1>of my number He's probably been number two guy right now,

0:33:42.000 --> 0:33:43.720
<v Speaker 1>so I think he is a little bit too low

0:33:43.800 --> 0:33:46.200
<v Speaker 1>on this list. I'd I'd take Pitts either number one

0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:50.640
<v Speaker 1>or number two. Counterpoint on Pits last year wrestler Gauge

0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:53.680
<v Speaker 1>in the in the Atlanta Falcons offense, his stout line

0:33:53.720 --> 0:33:55.800
<v Speaker 1>would have been tight end three overall, there we go.

0:33:55.920 --> 0:33:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you think Kyle Pitts is their third option in

0:33:58.040 --> 0:34:01.680
<v Speaker 1>the receiving game or second? It's it's probably second at

0:34:01.680 --> 0:34:04.200
<v Speaker 1>this point, So I feel like I feel like that.

0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:06.719
<v Speaker 1>I think I think he can. I'm not I'm not

0:34:06.760 --> 0:34:09.319
<v Speaker 1>saying he will, but it would take a historic year,

0:34:09.360 --> 0:34:11.160
<v Speaker 1>but I think he can end up in that spot.

0:34:11.160 --> 0:34:13.480
<v Speaker 1>So I'm saying with it, um, Kyle Pitts is who

0:34:13.520 --> 0:34:15.399
<v Speaker 1>I would have taken it one. Once again, I think

0:34:15.440 --> 0:34:19.720
<v Speaker 1>if you're picking one on one legitimately taking a difference

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:23.680
<v Speaker 1>changer at a position like that that could be on

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:25.640
<v Speaker 1>your team six seven years and not have to worry

0:34:25.640 --> 0:34:28.800
<v Speaker 1>about the tight end position for years. Um, that's probably

0:34:28.840 --> 0:34:30.120
<v Speaker 1>where I would have leaned. So I'm gonna go with

0:34:30.160 --> 0:34:31.960
<v Speaker 1>too low on him. I would I I went too

0:34:31.960 --> 0:34:33.680
<v Speaker 1>low on Kyle Pitts for all the reasons that you

0:34:33.680 --> 0:34:36.560
<v Speaker 1>guys have mentioned as well. I would have taken him first. Overall.

0:34:37.120 --> 0:34:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the fourth average draft position, and that's

0:34:39.880 --> 0:34:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville running back Travis the running back formerly known as E.

0:34:44.600 --> 0:34:49.759
<v Speaker 1>T N. But now we find out it's Jacksonville running

0:34:49.800 --> 0:34:56.560
<v Speaker 1>back Travis an Both. So uh Scott with the at

0:34:56.640 --> 0:34:59.279
<v Speaker 1>number four? Is this too low, too high? Or about right?

0:34:59.400 --> 0:35:02.080
<v Speaker 1>This is actually where I have him? So I feel

0:35:02.120 --> 0:35:06.000
<v Speaker 1>it's just right. In fact, Um, the the amount of

0:35:06.160 --> 0:35:09.520
<v Speaker 1>top twelve fantasy running backs, like running backs that fish

0:35:09.560 --> 0:35:12.520
<v Speaker 1>in the top twelve that have like fifty plus UH

0:35:12.719 --> 0:35:17.760
<v Speaker 1>carries and fifty plus receptions, which I think uh Atchin

0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:20.120
<v Speaker 1>or E. T N is going to do many times

0:35:20.160 --> 0:35:23.440
<v Speaker 1>in the next few years. Is it's astronomical, Like that

0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:26.799
<v Speaker 1>combination vaults. It's like a rushing quarterback, that combination of

0:35:26.840 --> 0:35:30.560
<v Speaker 1>catches and carries vaults you into top twelve conversations. I

0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:32.760
<v Speaker 1>think that's him. He just needs to get James Robinson

0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:34.799
<v Speaker 1>out of the way a little bit. Matt, you feel

0:35:34.800 --> 0:35:38.320
<v Speaker 1>any differently about Travis E. T N. Well, if Scott's

0:35:38.320 --> 0:35:41.239
<v Speaker 1>saying that he's got like all this potential, I don't

0:35:41.239 --> 0:35:43.160
<v Speaker 1>know why you wouldn't pick him higher. I pick him

0:35:43.239 --> 0:35:45.080
<v Speaker 1>higher than Jamar Chase, So I think he's a little

0:35:45.080 --> 0:35:47.720
<v Speaker 1>bit too low. I think he's the top three running

0:35:47.800 --> 0:35:51.120
<v Speaker 1>or top three rookie for me, I feel this is

0:35:51.160 --> 0:35:53.640
<v Speaker 1>a spot too high, one at least one spot too

0:35:53.719 --> 0:35:56.759
<v Speaker 1>high for Travish the running back formula Travis E. N.

0:35:57.000 --> 0:36:00.200
<v Speaker 1>And I like the guy who's at a DP five five,

0:36:01.640 --> 0:36:04.600
<v Speaker 1>and that is Denver running back Javonte Williams. Matt It

0:36:05.040 --> 0:36:08.359
<v Speaker 1>at position number five for Dynasty and Empire leagues. Is

0:36:08.960 --> 0:36:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Javonte Williams going too high? Too lower? About right? I

0:36:12.520 --> 0:36:15.200
<v Speaker 1>think that that this is a just right position for

0:36:15.320 --> 0:36:17.799
<v Speaker 1>him personally. I think a lot of people are going

0:36:17.800 --> 0:36:21.200
<v Speaker 1>to be scared off that Melvin Gordon is there, and uh,

0:36:21.239 --> 0:36:23.919
<v Speaker 1>the production might suffer a little bit in the first year,

0:36:23.960 --> 0:36:26.600
<v Speaker 1>but he's definitely a guy who can take over that role.

0:36:26.640 --> 0:36:28.680
<v Speaker 1>And and really be a bell cow, and I think

0:36:28.680 --> 0:36:31.800
<v Speaker 1>that's what George Peyton wants in his new look Broncos. Scott,

0:36:31.840 --> 0:36:34.240
<v Speaker 1>do you feel differently? So? I feel like you guys

0:36:34.360 --> 0:36:36.640
<v Speaker 1>very much love the running back position a lot more

0:36:36.680 --> 0:36:40.120
<v Speaker 1>than I do. In Dynasty, I generally build around younger

0:36:40.160 --> 0:36:43.480
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers and players like that, and then I go

0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:45.719
<v Speaker 1>after and get the running backs when I know him

0:36:45.719 --> 0:36:48.160
<v Speaker 1>about to make a run. That's because you're really smart.

0:36:48.320 --> 0:36:50.920
<v Speaker 1>That's that's how I played Dynasty. So I actually have

0:36:51.000 --> 0:36:54.239
<v Speaker 1>Javonte Williams one spot lower than this, so I will

0:36:54.520 --> 0:36:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I will go. He's one spot too high. I think

0:36:57.640 --> 0:36:59.920
<v Speaker 1>this is a spot too low, but he'll make my case.

0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:02.759
<v Speaker 1>I think Williams could go. I think you can make

0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:04.440
<v Speaker 1>a case. If you're running back needing and you are

0:37:04.560 --> 0:37:06.040
<v Speaker 1>making run, you can make a case for to me,

0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:09.359
<v Speaker 1>Javonte Williams as high as pick two or three at

0:37:09.480 --> 0:37:11.800
<v Speaker 1>potential to be a very special back, which only a

0:37:11.840 --> 0:37:14.120
<v Speaker 1>couple of runners do have in this In this draft,

0:37:14.160 --> 0:37:17.160
<v Speaker 1>I believe big, fast, elusive gets goal line looks. But

0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:19.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm really doing it for next year. Melvin Gordon, I

0:37:19.480 --> 0:37:21.880
<v Speaker 1>don't think he's gonna be on Denver next year. And

0:37:22.280 --> 0:37:24.880
<v Speaker 1>that is why I think Javonta Williams becomes the bell

0:37:24.960 --> 0:37:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Cow by two and I want him on my roster now.

0:37:27.880 --> 0:37:31.960
<v Speaker 1>So I'm ready for next season at average draft position

0:37:32.040 --> 0:37:36.040
<v Speaker 1>number six in Dynasty and Empire rookie drafts. Philadelphia wide

0:37:36.040 --> 0:37:39.399
<v Speaker 1>receiver DeVonta Smith Scott. Is this too high, too low?

0:37:39.480 --> 0:37:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Or just right? This is the flip with Javonte Williams.

0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:44.920
<v Speaker 1>For me, this is would what Davonta Smith did in college.

0:37:45.040 --> 0:37:47.239
<v Speaker 1>I I love to see it come to Philadelphia. I

0:37:47.239 --> 0:37:48.799
<v Speaker 1>think I know he's hurt right now, he's got the

0:37:48.880 --> 0:37:51.200
<v Speaker 1>m CL, but I think eventually he's gonna be that

0:37:51.239 --> 0:37:54.200
<v Speaker 1>guy uh for the Eagles there. Um, I would have

0:37:54.239 --> 0:37:56.759
<v Speaker 1>him a spot higher, Okay, Matt, Yeah, I think he's

0:37:56.760 --> 0:37:58.920
<v Speaker 1>the clear number one wide receiver in Philly, So I

0:37:59.200 --> 0:38:02.080
<v Speaker 1>think he's just I think it's about right to now.

0:38:02.640 --> 0:38:04.759
<v Speaker 1>Just his small build to me as a worry, but

0:38:04.920 --> 0:38:07.760
<v Speaker 1>he can be an electric game blake breaker. My worry

0:38:07.920 --> 0:38:12.080
<v Speaker 1>is he's got Tavon Austin downside to him, but he's

0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:15.040
<v Speaker 1>got Tyreek Hill upside to his game. It was an

0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:18.520
<v Speaker 1>undersized group of wide receivers this year, big time too,

0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:20.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, We've talked about this a little bit in

0:38:20.680 --> 0:38:24.560
<v Speaker 1>in previous year's shows and Fantasy Football Weekly. The guys

0:38:24.600 --> 0:38:27.840
<v Speaker 1>that have sustained greatness more often than not, like multi

0:38:27.920 --> 0:38:31.920
<v Speaker 1>year are bigger bodied receiver Various Thomas's, the Treille Owens,

0:38:31.920 --> 0:38:35.560
<v Speaker 1>the Andre Johnson yeah right, yeah. DeAndre Hopkins is the

0:38:35.560 --> 0:38:38.600
<v Speaker 1>reason they called prototypical, right yep. And you know the

0:38:38.600 --> 0:38:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the smaller guys, it tends to be much more erratic,

0:38:41.440 --> 0:38:43.400
<v Speaker 1>and I think the clus strates higher. That's some of

0:38:43.440 --> 0:38:46.840
<v Speaker 1>my worries for DeVonta Smith at average draft position number

0:38:46.960 --> 0:38:51.719
<v Speaker 1>seven is the first one that I really really don't like.

0:38:52.640 --> 0:38:57.200
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco running back Trey Sermon Matt too high, too low,

0:38:57.400 --> 0:39:00.759
<v Speaker 1>or just right. You didn't even have to influenced me

0:39:00.800 --> 0:39:03.200
<v Speaker 1>on this one. I'm right there with you. I think

0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:06.800
<v Speaker 1>that this is way too high. They drafted to running

0:39:06.800 --> 0:39:11.279
<v Speaker 1>backs in San Francisco, and Kyle Shanahan is from the

0:39:11.320 --> 0:39:16.839
<v Speaker 1>family tree of Shannahanigans. There's running back shannahanigans going on

0:39:16.920 --> 0:39:19.200
<v Speaker 1>all over the place there, and you're never going to

0:39:19.239 --> 0:39:21.719
<v Speaker 1>feel quite confident that one running back has taken over

0:39:21.760 --> 0:39:26.200
<v Speaker 1>that job. So he's way too high for me. I know,

0:39:26.320 --> 0:39:29.040
<v Speaker 1>you feel differently Scott, No, I I like him more

0:39:29.080 --> 0:39:31.840
<v Speaker 1>than you, but like he's the guy I took in

0:39:31.880 --> 0:39:34.279
<v Speaker 1>a rookie draft in the mid second, right before the

0:39:34.280 --> 0:39:36.560
<v Speaker 1>cliff goes off, and I felt good about that. Yeah,

0:39:36.600 --> 0:39:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel good about him in the mid first.

0:39:38.440 --> 0:39:41.839
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy talk to me. There At least I think

0:39:41.880 --> 0:39:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm counting three or four wide receivers I take above Sermons,

0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:47.440
<v Speaker 1>so like, I'm this is way. We all agreed that

0:39:47.480 --> 0:39:49.399
<v Speaker 1>pick seven is too high for trade sermon. I don't

0:39:49.400 --> 0:39:51.319
<v Speaker 1>think he's a special talent. He was taken in the

0:39:51.360 --> 0:39:55.080
<v Speaker 1>third round, but many draft services graded him into the fifth, six,

0:39:55.120 --> 0:39:57.600
<v Speaker 1>and seventh round, and so I think it was a

0:39:57.600 --> 0:40:00.959
<v Speaker 1>reach pick in as you mentioned, Kyle Shanahan simply isn't

0:40:01.000 --> 0:40:04.000
<v Speaker 1>a work horse coach with his runners. I've got a

0:40:04.000 --> 0:40:06.520
<v Speaker 1>couple of quarterbacks are running back and a few wide

0:40:06.520 --> 0:40:09.879
<v Speaker 1>receivers above. The perfect time to bring up pick number eight,

0:40:10.320 --> 0:40:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence ad pick eight. Is this too high?

0:40:14.000 --> 0:40:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Too low? Or just right? Scott? I think quarterbacks have

0:40:17.000 --> 0:40:19.240
<v Speaker 1>gotten too deep lately. We're in a one quarterback league.

0:40:19.320 --> 0:40:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I still have a couple of players I like above.

0:40:21.960 --> 0:40:23.759
<v Speaker 1>Taking the quarterback this high and the first if I'm

0:40:23.760 --> 0:40:26.560
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the first maybe because you're probably

0:40:26.560 --> 0:40:28.440
<v Speaker 1>a champion or close and it might be a luxury

0:40:28.440 --> 0:40:30.759
<v Speaker 1>pick for you. But here I'm going with a guy

0:40:30.800 --> 0:40:34.480
<v Speaker 1>that's like three spots below. You know, when they talk

0:40:34.560 --> 0:40:36.960
<v Speaker 1>about guys coming out in the draft being like the

0:40:37.040 --> 0:40:39.960
<v Speaker 1>can't miss quarterback, there's only a few that come to mind.

0:40:40.040 --> 0:40:42.000
<v Speaker 1>And you know, one was Andrew Luck and he was

0:40:42.040 --> 0:40:44.759
<v Speaker 1>great for a number of fantasy years. And the one

0:40:44.840 --> 0:40:47.600
<v Speaker 1>since then was Trevor Lawrence. Even Patrick Mahomes didn't really

0:40:47.600 --> 0:40:50.279
<v Speaker 1>get that billing when he came through the draft. It

0:40:50.320 --> 0:40:53.200
<v Speaker 1>was a fourth quarterback, third quarterback taken. Yeah, it was um. So,

0:40:53.320 --> 0:40:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that Lawrence is just about right here because

0:40:55.960 --> 0:40:58.640
<v Speaker 1>if if you truly believe that he is one of

0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:01.719
<v Speaker 1>those generational talents at the position, you can take him

0:41:01.719 --> 0:41:03.000
<v Speaker 1>here and then you can feel like you have a

0:41:03.000 --> 0:41:05.359
<v Speaker 1>good quarterback for a really long time. Yeah, I think

0:41:05.400 --> 0:41:07.640
<v Speaker 1>this is about right. He's the most pro ready quarterback

0:41:07.680 --> 0:41:09.440
<v Speaker 1>since the Luck, as you mentioned, and I think people

0:41:09.480 --> 0:41:12.360
<v Speaker 1>forget about his running aptitude. You know, he can be

0:41:12.400 --> 0:41:15.200
<v Speaker 1>four or five rushing touchdowns a year, and you know

0:41:15.360 --> 0:41:18.799
<v Speaker 1>he has the upside be like thirty five passing touchdowns,

0:41:18.840 --> 0:41:22.600
<v Speaker 1>and then he gets into really special fantasy production territory

0:41:22.640 --> 0:41:25.920
<v Speaker 1>for Trevor Lawrence pick number nine by your average draft positions,

0:41:25.920 --> 0:41:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Miami wide receiver Jalen Waddle, tell me if you think

0:41:29.880 --> 0:41:32.200
<v Speaker 1>this is too high, too low, or about right? Scott,

0:41:32.440 --> 0:41:35.000
<v Speaker 1>all right, I think we're on Matt, We're on time. Yeah,

0:41:35.360 --> 0:41:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a little too high for me. There's

0:41:36.920 --> 0:41:39.239
<v Speaker 1>a couple of wide receivers that I like above Wattle here,

0:41:39.239 --> 0:41:41.239
<v Speaker 1>and there's one running back that I like above him

0:41:41.239 --> 0:41:45.480
<v Speaker 1>as well, So Wattle I would move down to about twelve, thirteen, fourteen,

0:41:45.600 --> 0:41:51.760
<v Speaker 1>fifteen somewhere in there. Yeah, it's it's only one spot

0:41:51.800 --> 0:41:54.680
<v Speaker 1>too high for me, because there is you know, one

0:41:54.920 --> 0:41:58.879
<v Speaker 1>one spot too low or so he's about right about

0:41:59.200 --> 0:42:01.640
<v Speaker 1>he's he's about right. There's one wide receiver coming up

0:42:01.680 --> 0:42:03.719
<v Speaker 1>that's actually my wide receiver too, and so I guess

0:42:03.719 --> 0:42:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I was wrong on Davonta Smith earlier. I have another

0:42:06.000 --> 0:42:08.359
<v Speaker 1>guy coming up as my wide receiver too, but he's

0:42:08.360 --> 0:42:11.359
<v Speaker 1>about right because I have Trevor Lawrence below both of them.

0:42:11.440 --> 0:42:14.200
<v Speaker 1>I have Jalen Waddle about right here at pick number nine.

0:42:14.239 --> 0:42:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I worry that he's gonna get lost in the shuffle

0:42:15.880 --> 0:42:19.160
<v Speaker 1>between Will Fuller, DeVante Parker and two. It didn't impress

0:42:19.239 --> 0:42:21.319
<v Speaker 1>me last year, but in time I think he will

0:42:21.360 --> 0:42:24.839
<v Speaker 1>become better. Ship Fuller and DeVante Parker at least has

0:42:24.840 --> 0:42:29.160
<v Speaker 1>the upside to be at pick number ten. New York

0:42:29.239 --> 0:42:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Jets running back Michael Carter. Is this too high or

0:42:32.960 --> 0:42:35.839
<v Speaker 1>too low? Scott? I mean again, we're in a We're

0:42:35.840 --> 0:42:38.239
<v Speaker 1>in a spot where I like wide receivers more than

0:42:38.320 --> 0:42:40.880
<v Speaker 1>running backs. I think he's in a really good spot.

0:42:40.920 --> 0:42:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that you know, he could be there. He's

0:42:43.080 --> 0:42:45.880
<v Speaker 1>probably going to be their lead back. Um, I'm probably

0:42:45.920 --> 0:42:48.480
<v Speaker 1>taking at the end of the second because there are

0:42:48.480 --> 0:42:50.600
<v Speaker 1>one or two guys I probably end of the second,

0:42:51.040 --> 0:42:53.560
<v Speaker 1>end of the first. Excuse me, but it's it's not

0:42:53.640 --> 0:42:56.160
<v Speaker 1>a terrible spot in that ten eleven twelve range. Alright,

0:42:56.200 --> 0:42:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Michael Carter, pick ten? You cool with that. I'd probably

0:42:59.080 --> 0:43:01.839
<v Speaker 1>have eleven twelve probably close to that. I'd move him up.

0:43:02.640 --> 0:43:05.759
<v Speaker 1>I think that he's the only rookie running back in

0:43:05.800 --> 0:43:10.439
<v Speaker 1>this class that has the distinct possibility besides Nagi of course, yes,

0:43:10.560 --> 0:43:13.359
<v Speaker 1>of being a bell cow in his offense. And that's

0:43:13.360 --> 0:43:16.040
<v Speaker 1>why I like Michael Carter close to like five or

0:43:16.080 --> 0:43:18.719
<v Speaker 1>six in draft. You took all my talking points except one.

0:43:18.760 --> 0:43:21.000
<v Speaker 1>The Jets offensive lines got two first round picks from

0:43:21.000 --> 0:43:23.520
<v Speaker 1>the last two years, and it's it's better than people think.

0:43:24.360 --> 0:43:28.240
<v Speaker 1>All right, Pick number eleven, Baltimore wide receiver Rashad Bateman.

0:43:28.360 --> 0:43:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Is this too high, too low or about right? Matt Um?

0:43:31.680 --> 0:43:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it's about right. I got one guy ahead

0:43:34.239 --> 0:43:37.160
<v Speaker 1>of him on the wide receiver chart, but Bateman looks

0:43:37.200 --> 0:43:41.839
<v Speaker 1>like he is wide receiver one already in Baltimore. Scott same.

0:43:42.000 --> 0:43:44.920
<v Speaker 1>He's my wide receiver to overall behind Chase, so I

0:43:44.920 --> 0:43:47.320
<v Speaker 1>would have put him closer to the mid first round. Okay.

0:43:47.360 --> 0:43:50.719
<v Speaker 1>And the last a DP rookie is New York Jets

0:43:50.760 --> 0:43:54.319
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver Elijah Moore having a fantastic camp. Too high,

0:43:54.400 --> 0:43:56.800
<v Speaker 1>too low, or about right? Perfect spot for him, perfect

0:43:56.840 --> 0:43:59.160
<v Speaker 1>spot right about here. I talked a little bit about

0:43:59.200 --> 0:44:01.080
<v Speaker 1>him before, and I'd move them up a spot or two.

0:44:01.520 --> 0:44:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Actually I would too, because I would have in Buff

0:44:03.320 --> 0:44:06.279
<v Speaker 1>Carter and sermon. But that's about right. You know, you

0:44:06.280 --> 0:44:09.680
<v Speaker 1>know we are picked, that's about right. When we come back,

0:44:09.960 --> 0:44:12.359
<v Speaker 1>our number two Fantasy Football Weekly will get into round

0:44:12.400 --> 0:44:15.680
<v Speaker 1>two where things really hit a cliff here and you've

0:44:15.719 --> 0:44:19.279
<v Speaker 1>got a weird hard to find some value at that

0:44:19.440 --> 0:44:22.719
<v Speaker 1>stage of your dynasty or empire draft. Stay tuned. Fantasy

0:44:22.760 --> 0:44:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Football Weekly continues in moments our number two Fantasy Football

0:44:52.400 --> 0:44:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Weekly Paul Charchi and Scott Fish and Matt Harrison with you.

0:44:57.239 --> 0:44:59.320
<v Speaker 1>If you haven't yet tried a Guillotine league, we encourage

0:44:59.320 --> 0:45:02.560
<v Speaker 1>you to try the freshest new way to play fantasy football.

0:45:02.600 --> 0:45:05.359
<v Speaker 1>Eight Teen teams start the season. At the end of

0:45:05.480 --> 0:45:08.239
<v Speaker 1>every week, the low scoring team gets cut and their

0:45:08.440 --> 0:45:12.799
<v Speaker 1>entire team goes the waiver wire, where pandemonium ensues. You've

0:45:12.840 --> 0:45:18.920
<v Speaker 1>never had a chance to bid on guys like Alvin Kamara,

0:45:19.160 --> 0:45:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Mahomes. These are keenan Allen. A whole draft of

0:45:22.920 --> 0:45:26.000
<v Speaker 1>players never hits the waiver wire. It is the hey

0:45:26.000 --> 0:45:28.040
<v Speaker 1>this year. If se Kwon Berkley does miss a couple

0:45:28.040 --> 0:45:32.920
<v Speaker 1>of games early out there, he's gonna yep. And then

0:45:32.960 --> 0:45:34.880
<v Speaker 1>you got to decide a little bit like when Christian

0:45:34.880 --> 0:45:39.040
<v Speaker 1>when Christian McCaffrey got hurt early last year, when's the

0:45:39.080 --> 0:45:40.840
<v Speaker 1>time to get in on that bidding. Because if you

0:45:40.880 --> 0:45:42.520
<v Speaker 1>got in, if you put in too much of your

0:45:42.600 --> 0:45:47.080
<v Speaker 1>free agent budget on Christian McCaffrey early last year. All

0:45:47.080 --> 0:45:48.799
<v Speaker 1>he did is way down your team, you were short

0:45:48.840 --> 0:45:50.479
<v Speaker 1>on money, and then you got cut and here's Christian

0:45:50.560 --> 0:45:53.799
<v Speaker 1>McAffrey again on the waiver wire. And then somebody else

0:45:53.840 --> 0:45:56.239
<v Speaker 1>would pick him up, spend a bunch of money, and

0:45:56.280 --> 0:45:59.200
<v Speaker 1>then they'd get cut. And Christian McCaffrey kept cycling through

0:45:59.280 --> 0:46:00.920
<v Speaker 1>and the end of that. I bet at the end

0:46:00.920 --> 0:46:03.080
<v Speaker 1>of the year and our thousand dollar FAB League at

0:46:03.080 --> 0:46:05.279
<v Speaker 1>Guillotine leagues dot com, I bet he picked up on

0:46:05.320 --> 0:46:10.680
<v Speaker 1>average around FAB got spent on him churning through teams

0:46:10.719 --> 0:46:13.359
<v Speaker 1>over the course of the season. It's round number two

0:46:13.360 --> 0:46:16.799
<v Speaker 1>of our Dynasty Empire Rookie Draft by your adp the

0:46:16.920 --> 0:46:20.719
<v Speaker 1>national average. This is where you're taking everybody, but we're

0:46:20.840 --> 0:46:24.160
<v Speaker 1>establishing whether or not you guys are getting it wrong

0:46:24.520 --> 0:46:27.240
<v Speaker 1>or right with each of your selections. The first round

0:46:27.239 --> 0:46:31.120
<v Speaker 1>went Najie Harris, Jamaches cal Pits, Travis the running Back

0:46:31.160 --> 0:46:34.120
<v Speaker 1>formerly known as Travis E. T n The Ancient One,

0:46:34.880 --> 0:46:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Javante Williams, DeVante Smith, Tray Sermon who we really didn't

0:46:39.040 --> 0:46:43.680
<v Speaker 1>like this spot, Trevor Lawrence at pick number eight, Jalen Waddle,

0:46:43.760 --> 0:46:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Michael Carter, Rashad Bateman, and in the twelfth spot, Elijah Moore.

0:46:47.320 --> 0:46:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Now it's round number two and the highest ADP player

0:46:52.000 --> 0:46:55.720
<v Speaker 1>left here is San Francisco quarterback Trey Lance. Too high,

0:46:55.719 --> 0:46:59.319
<v Speaker 1>too low, or just right, Scott, I think it's just

0:46:59.480 --> 0:47:02.880
<v Speaker 1>about uh in this list, I probably would have had

0:47:02.920 --> 0:47:05.479
<v Speaker 1>him like twelve or so, so like I I would

0:47:05.680 --> 0:47:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I would almost rather have a quarterback like Trey Lance

0:47:08.719 --> 0:47:10.919
<v Speaker 1>in a league like the in a in a dynasty league,

0:47:10.960 --> 0:47:14.279
<v Speaker 1>just because I think his rushing upside is so huge. Um,

0:47:14.800 --> 0:47:17.520
<v Speaker 1>you can you can play around with starters other starters

0:47:17.600 --> 0:47:19.520
<v Speaker 1>until you hit one on one of these big guys

0:47:19.520 --> 0:47:22.520
<v Speaker 1>that becomes a Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes or a

0:47:22.800 --> 0:47:25.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, um Kyler Murray or something. And I think

0:47:25.200 --> 0:47:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Trey Lance has that potential. So um, I probably have

0:47:28.120 --> 0:47:30.239
<v Speaker 1>been spot or too higher just because I have I

0:47:30.280 --> 0:47:32.680
<v Speaker 1>have Lawrence a little lower, and I have Sermon a

0:47:32.680 --> 0:47:36.880
<v Speaker 1>little lower. Stuff like that, Matt. I think Scott stole

0:47:36.920 --> 0:47:39.200
<v Speaker 1>most of the thunder there. If you think Trey Lance

0:47:39.280 --> 0:47:42.960
<v Speaker 1>can be Josh Allen in two years or Lamar Jackson

0:47:42.960 --> 0:47:46.439
<v Speaker 1>in two years, gosh, that's a pretty good pick right here,

0:47:46.880 --> 0:47:49.440
<v Speaker 1>and it's first pick in the second round. I take him.

0:47:49.440 --> 0:47:50.799
<v Speaker 1>I think he might be a little too low. Yeah,

0:47:50.840 --> 0:47:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I got way too low. I think you should go

0:47:52.160 --> 0:47:54.200
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of the first round. I think by

0:47:54.239 --> 0:47:59.719
<v Speaker 1>half a round in that's I'm ready. First quarterback off

0:47:59.760 --> 0:48:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the board. I'm fine because of the upside. I think

0:48:02.000 --> 0:48:04.000
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of where we both landed. All right, I'm

0:48:04.080 --> 0:48:07.320
<v Speaker 1>learning what your next draft strategy and it's about to

0:48:07.400 --> 0:48:10.120
<v Speaker 1>be right. Uh, let's go to pick number two of

0:48:10.120 --> 0:48:15.280
<v Speaker 1>the second round, Caroline wide receiver receiver Terrorists Marshall, Matt

0:48:15.920 --> 0:48:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Is this too high, too low? Or about right? You know?

0:48:18.600 --> 0:48:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Scott was speaking glowingly about terrorist Marshall and and I've

0:48:23.080 --> 0:48:25.600
<v Speaker 1>heard nothing but the same. It's it's been all good

0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:28.680
<v Speaker 1>on a terrorist Marshall in camp, and I have him

0:48:28.719 --> 0:48:31.239
<v Speaker 1>a little bit higher on my list of wide receivers.

0:48:32.200 --> 0:48:34.520
<v Speaker 1>So this is way too low for me. I love

0:48:34.640 --> 0:48:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Terris Marshall. Right after the draft happened. I was doing drafts,

0:48:37.960 --> 0:48:40.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, right after the draft, I was consistently taking

0:48:40.960 --> 0:48:43.720
<v Speaker 1>him at two a one, and so it's already too low.

0:48:43.960 --> 0:48:47.200
<v Speaker 1>It's only too too yeah, so it's about right. But

0:48:47.960 --> 0:48:49.919
<v Speaker 1>now he's just glowing in camp. He's going to take

0:48:49.920 --> 0:48:53.399
<v Speaker 1>over like he played slot in college. He's taking over

0:48:53.440 --> 0:48:57.759
<v Speaker 1>that Curtis Samuel Role, he's reunited with Joe Brady there. Um.

0:48:57.800 --> 0:49:00.919
<v Speaker 1>I love everything about the six ft four, big slot guy,

0:49:01.080 --> 0:49:03.239
<v Speaker 1>Arris Marshall. I would take him in the first round.

0:49:03.320 --> 0:49:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you have Terris Marshall above Jalen Waddle? I do? Yeah, Yeah,

0:49:08.840 --> 0:49:12.680
<v Speaker 1>so yep, I have I have him yeah, way up there. Yeah,

0:49:12.840 --> 0:49:15.520
<v Speaker 1>unique downfield skill set that makes him a nice match

0:49:15.560 --> 0:49:17.480
<v Speaker 1>for Sam Donald's arm. You never get a six foot

0:49:17.520 --> 0:49:21.000
<v Speaker 1>four slot receiver and he can play outside. Yeah and yeah,

0:49:21.080 --> 0:49:22.719
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure he could, but I don't know that

0:49:22.760 --> 0:49:25.080
<v Speaker 1>he will. Yeah, he doesn't need to with Robby Anderson

0:49:25.160 --> 0:49:28.319
<v Speaker 1>on one more year. Yeah, that's probably true. Uh. The

0:49:28.440 --> 0:49:31.560
<v Speaker 1>third pick in the second round in Dynasty Empire Drafts,

0:49:31.600 --> 0:49:35.279
<v Speaker 1>by your average draft position is Justin Fields. Is this

0:49:35.320 --> 0:49:39.359
<v Speaker 1>too high, too low? Or just right? Scott? It's it's

0:49:39.360 --> 0:49:42.040
<v Speaker 1>pretty much what we said with Lance. It's just about

0:49:42.160 --> 0:49:45.000
<v Speaker 1>right because the guy's going below him. I have a

0:49:45.080 --> 0:49:49.239
<v Speaker 1>lot less confidence in as as players at their positions

0:49:49.480 --> 0:49:51.920
<v Speaker 1>when Fields is a guy that could be a franchise

0:49:52.000 --> 0:49:54.719
<v Speaker 1>quarterback for ten years and you know, have a decent

0:49:54.800 --> 0:49:58.080
<v Speaker 1>rushing upside. Matt, you like justin Fields here? Yeah, we're

0:49:58.080 --> 0:50:01.440
<v Speaker 1>teetering very very close to the the cliff. We're not

0:50:01.480 --> 0:50:04.120
<v Speaker 1>at the cliff yet. I can see it, though I can.

0:50:04.160 --> 0:50:05.919
<v Speaker 1>I can kick a rock and it's about to go

0:50:06.120 --> 0:50:09.680
<v Speaker 1>to are my Thelma and Louise? Somebody are driving fast?

0:50:10.160 --> 0:50:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Why at the edge of the are we all holding hands?

0:50:13.120 --> 0:50:15.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm the Brad Pitt in this example, by the way,

0:50:15.480 --> 0:50:20.320
<v Speaker 1>just to be clear, okay, yes, uh, Justin Fields to me,

0:50:20.400 --> 0:50:22.360
<v Speaker 1>this is about right. Maybe a little too low. I

0:50:22.400 --> 0:50:24.279
<v Speaker 1>prefer lance, but I love the fields can give you

0:50:24.320 --> 0:50:26.480
<v Speaker 1>the passing and the rushing in the athleticism and the

0:50:26.520 --> 0:50:29.200
<v Speaker 1>deep balls, and those are special quarterbacks that can go

0:50:29.239 --> 0:50:31.560
<v Speaker 1>win leaks. So I would not mind. I wouldn't have

0:50:31.600 --> 0:50:33.560
<v Speaker 1>a problem with somebody took Justin Fields a little higher

0:50:33.560 --> 0:50:35.439
<v Speaker 1>than the third pick of the second round. Now, Church,

0:50:35.640 --> 0:50:38.439
<v Speaker 1>is this the end of a tier? Because I'm looking

0:50:38.480 --> 0:50:40.439
<v Speaker 1>at the rest of the rookies and this is kind

0:50:40.440 --> 0:50:42.400
<v Speaker 1>of the edge of a tier for me. If we're

0:50:42.400 --> 0:50:43.640
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the tier, I'm gonna ask you

0:50:43.640 --> 0:50:46.960
<v Speaker 1>a question. Would you take trade sermon at this end

0:50:47.000 --> 0:50:50.520
<v Speaker 1>of this tier? This is the right spot right here.

0:50:50.560 --> 0:50:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll flot in trade sermon right here. The fourth pick

0:50:53.600 --> 0:50:56.239
<v Speaker 1>in the second round by your national average for average

0:50:56.280 --> 0:50:59.960
<v Speaker 1>traft position among rookies Arizona wide receiver Ron del More

0:51:00.080 --> 0:51:02.120
<v Speaker 1>or Matt Is this too high, too low? Or about

0:51:02.200 --> 0:51:04.759
<v Speaker 1>right now? Talking about the Tears, I think there's two

0:51:04.800 --> 0:51:07.560
<v Speaker 1>players in the next tier, and it's the next two

0:51:07.600 --> 0:51:10.840
<v Speaker 1>players on this board, and then after that it gets nasty.

0:51:10.960 --> 0:51:13.080
<v Speaker 1>So I think, uh, I think Ron Dale Moore is

0:51:13.080 --> 0:51:15.440
<v Speaker 1>in a good spot right here. A little nervous that

0:51:16.040 --> 0:51:18.520
<v Speaker 1>there might not be enough balls to go around in Arizona,

0:51:18.600 --> 0:51:21.160
<v Speaker 1>but I think that he's in a good spot here. Yeah,

0:51:21.360 --> 0:51:23.279
<v Speaker 1>as we mentioned on the show, when we we did

0:51:23.320 --> 0:51:26.520
<v Speaker 1>this team preview, Rondel Moore, I I likened him to

0:51:26.560 --> 0:51:29.719
<v Speaker 1>a squirrel in the road, like he changes directions so ridiculous.

0:51:29.760 --> 0:51:33.120
<v Speaker 1>And there's been so many camp videos of him breaking ankles.

0:51:33.360 --> 0:51:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I still have him above sermons, So we're not all right,

0:51:36.000 --> 0:51:38.880
<v Speaker 1>we're not even. So it's road kill more in a

0:51:38.880 --> 0:51:42.799
<v Speaker 1>different way because he's breaking other people's ankles. Correct, Yes,

0:51:42.960 --> 0:51:45.719
<v Speaker 1>but he's only five ft seven, So he's going to

0:51:45.760 --> 0:51:47.880
<v Speaker 1>be the road kill sooner or later in Rondelmore. And

0:51:47.960 --> 0:51:50.520
<v Speaker 1>that's the worried for me. It's like amped running over

0:51:50.560 --> 0:51:52.760
<v Speaker 1>a squirrel. You know he's gonna run from the slot.

0:51:52.840 --> 0:51:54.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, Larry Fitzgield's gone, so that frees up all

0:51:55.000 --> 0:51:58.600
<v Speaker 1>those slot targets and you get the quick twitch athleticism,

0:51:58.640 --> 0:52:02.040
<v Speaker 1>incredibly fast, the four of the four three speed for

0:52:02.239 --> 0:52:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Ron del Moore, and he's gonna get He's gonna get

0:52:05.120 --> 0:52:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the bubble screens, the gadget plays, the periodic runs. We

0:52:09.200 --> 0:52:11.799
<v Speaker 1>just need to stay healthy. At five ft seven, just word,

0:52:11.800 --> 0:52:14.680
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna get mauled over the middle, and that you know,

0:52:14.719 --> 0:52:17.520
<v Speaker 1>any like any catch could be the last Ron Delmore.

0:52:18.080 --> 0:52:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to pick number five. Average draft positions, rookie

0:52:21.440 --> 0:52:24.759
<v Speaker 1>drafts and Dynasty and Empire leagues. Zach Wilson, New York

0:52:24.840 --> 0:52:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Jets quarterback. Is this too high, too low? Or about right?

0:52:28.320 --> 0:52:32.240
<v Speaker 1>And we're on it's Scots first, Alright, let's do it.

0:52:32.239 --> 0:52:34.440
<v Speaker 1>It's fine. It's it's fine. Where it's at in a

0:52:34.520 --> 0:52:36.560
<v Speaker 1>one in a in a one quarterback league. I think

0:52:36.680 --> 0:52:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I think we're at that cliff where I'd be like,

0:52:39.120 --> 0:52:41.080
<v Speaker 1>do I want Wilson? Do I want sermon? I mean

0:52:41.080 --> 0:52:43.960
<v Speaker 1>it's a one quarterback league. Maybe I do take sermon um.

0:52:44.000 --> 0:52:46.320
<v Speaker 1>So I think it's it's fair, it's right where worship

0:52:46.400 --> 0:52:49.640
<v Speaker 1>where we should be He's definitely got that quarterback upside

0:52:49.680 --> 0:52:52.839
<v Speaker 1>that we've been talking about. Not as shiny as the

0:52:52.880 --> 0:52:55.640
<v Speaker 1>other three quarterbacks we talked about. Zack Wilson doesn't have

0:52:55.680 --> 0:52:59.839
<v Speaker 1>the rushing upside. No he doesn't. So he's he can

0:53:00.200 --> 0:53:03.439
<v Speaker 1>really good at times. Yeah, he can raw talent for sure.

0:53:03.520 --> 0:53:05.680
<v Speaker 1>So I think this is the end of the tier

0:53:05.760 --> 0:53:08.239
<v Speaker 1>and we are now at the cliff, and here we

0:53:08.320 --> 0:53:11.399
<v Speaker 1>go over the edge the edges. Here's for sure. Pick

0:53:11.480 --> 0:53:14.840
<v Speaker 1>number six and by your average draft position in the

0:53:14.880 --> 0:53:17.920
<v Speaker 1>second round is New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Tony.

0:53:18.000 --> 0:53:21.680
<v Speaker 1>And man, is this wrong? Matt, go ahead and elucidate

0:53:21.719 --> 0:53:25.560
<v Speaker 1>the many reasons. Um, they got like fifteen wide receivers,

0:53:25.600 --> 0:53:28.879
<v Speaker 1>they're including Kenny Golladay, they got the worst offensive line

0:53:28.880 --> 0:53:31.600
<v Speaker 1>in the league, and Daniel Jones isn't inspiring a lot

0:53:31.600 --> 0:53:34.600
<v Speaker 1>of confidence. Plus when se Kwan is healthy, he's probably

0:53:34.600 --> 0:53:37.520
<v Speaker 1>their leading target getter. So I don't think Cadarius Tony

0:53:37.719 --> 0:53:41.480
<v Speaker 1>might see more than two passes a game throwing his way. Scott.

0:53:41.960 --> 0:53:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah this this, by the way, Daniel Jones threw eleven

0:53:45.400 --> 0:53:48.640
<v Speaker 1>touchdown passes last year. That's so hard to do. But

0:53:48.760 --> 0:53:51.040
<v Speaker 1>that's a starting quarterback but you can still point and

0:53:51.120 --> 0:53:56.400
<v Speaker 1>laugh at Cam Newton. Very true, Very true. Cam Newton's

0:53:56.400 --> 0:53:59.640
<v Speaker 1>pointing and laughing at that run though this Daniel Jones, Yeah,

0:53:59.680 --> 0:54:03.120
<v Speaker 1>this is this is too want to retripped himself. Yes,

0:54:03.560 --> 0:54:05.479
<v Speaker 1>this is too high. If I'm going to say something

0:54:05.560 --> 0:54:08.319
<v Speaker 1>positive though, just you don't have to know. I mean

0:54:08.400 --> 0:54:11.239
<v Speaker 1>Kadarius Tony, I mean he's a subscriber to the podcast,

0:54:11.520 --> 0:54:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the show and everything, but you know, it doesn't mean

0:54:13.440 --> 0:54:15.400
<v Speaker 1>we have to play Kate. Kadarius tone End was a

0:54:15.440 --> 0:54:18.480
<v Speaker 1>member of Tony Tony Tony. They did invest a first

0:54:18.560 --> 0:54:21.720
<v Speaker 1>rounder on him, and they did and three different teams

0:54:21.719 --> 0:54:23.839
<v Speaker 1>were trying to trade up into the first to get him.

0:54:24.120 --> 0:54:26.200
<v Speaker 1>So there's there's got to be something there. There's not

0:54:26.239 --> 0:54:28.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of you know, he didn't have a lot

0:54:28.080 --> 0:54:30.120
<v Speaker 1>of stats in college, but he's such a good gadget

0:54:30.120 --> 0:54:32.719
<v Speaker 1>guy that if they can find like Leiviska Chanlt, if

0:54:32.719 --> 0:54:34.440
<v Speaker 1>they can find ways to get the ball in his hands,

0:54:35.040 --> 0:54:37.040
<v Speaker 1>you know they need things to improve there. So down

0:54:37.120 --> 0:54:39.400
<v Speaker 1>the line maybe, but it's still too high for me.

0:54:39.480 --> 0:54:42.080
<v Speaker 1>How many of those gadget guys ever work out and

0:54:42.280 --> 0:54:44.759
<v Speaker 1>they all they're all trade Tavon Austin that's the thing

0:54:45.760 --> 0:54:49.960
<v Speaker 1>they rarely work out, and it was the high end

0:54:50.000 --> 0:54:52.680
<v Speaker 1>of that. But yeah, and he he wasn't even as

0:54:52.680 --> 0:54:55.799
<v Speaker 1>fantasy viable as some of these other names that we've mentioned. No,

0:54:55.960 --> 0:54:57.759
<v Speaker 1>it's true. I mean he had some good years, but

0:54:57.840 --> 0:55:01.239
<v Speaker 1>he was not always fantasy viable either. Kadarius Tony. A

0:55:01.280 --> 0:55:03.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of people don't know. It's just a little piece

0:55:03.040 --> 0:55:06.920
<v Speaker 1>of trivia. He is reprising the role of Tony Soprano

0:55:07.080 --> 0:55:11.480
<v Speaker 1>in the prequel that HBO is developing. Yeah, uh, pick

0:55:11.600 --> 0:55:14.520
<v Speaker 1>number seven in the second round of a Dynasty Empire

0:55:14.640 --> 0:55:18.960
<v Speaker 1>League by your ADP. His Detroit wide receiver am On

0:55:19.360 --> 0:55:23.480
<v Speaker 1>raw St Brown Scott. I know you like him. I

0:55:23.520 --> 0:55:26.600
<v Speaker 1>do like him. I really to hide too low or

0:55:26.640 --> 0:55:31.480
<v Speaker 1>about right's been talking to boys forever. Yeah, he's he's

0:55:31.560 --> 0:55:33.600
<v Speaker 1>too low for me. I would have him a spot

0:55:33.719 --> 0:55:36.640
<v Speaker 1>or two above this. Uh, he's just in a position

0:55:36.640 --> 0:55:38.680
<v Speaker 1>where he could be he could be the leading target

0:55:38.719 --> 0:55:40.520
<v Speaker 1>get around that team, Like he's gonna get a decent

0:55:40.520 --> 0:55:42.880
<v Speaker 1>amount of targets. He's gonna get. He's got the starting

0:55:43.719 --> 0:55:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine a situation he's not the starting slot

0:55:46.239 --> 0:55:49.400
<v Speaker 1>receiver there. So right, Yeah, I have a couple of

0:55:49.640 --> 0:55:53.240
<v Speaker 1>high Detroit's gonna pass often there. As a rebuilding team,

0:55:53.360 --> 0:55:55.920
<v Speaker 1>they're incentivized to give their young players a lot of

0:55:55.920 --> 0:55:59.319
<v Speaker 1>playing time. He's staying after practice, just one handed on

0:55:59.360 --> 0:56:02.920
<v Speaker 1>the jug machine for like, yeah, he's first in last

0:56:03.080 --> 0:56:05.359
<v Speaker 1>kind of guy. You're Jared Goff, who's, by the way,

0:56:05.360 --> 0:56:07.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously used to throw into a slot receiver. Um,

0:56:08.000 --> 0:56:11.000
<v Speaker 1>and you you drop back to pass? Do I throw

0:56:11.080 --> 0:56:15.000
<v Speaker 1>to Tyrolle Williams? Ever? Why what's the point? You know?

0:56:15.080 --> 0:56:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I'd rather getman Detroit wide receiver. I'm on ros st Brown.

0:56:19.560 --> 0:56:21.520
<v Speaker 1>We all think that this is we all think this

0:56:21.560 --> 0:56:24.640
<v Speaker 1>is too low, right, Okay, even though we're off the cliff,

0:56:25.640 --> 0:56:28.560
<v Speaker 1>it's still we're falling. We are falling, and we're not

0:56:28.600 --> 0:56:30.920
<v Speaker 1>going to get up the eighth pick of the second

0:56:31.000 --> 0:56:34.800
<v Speaker 1>round by your average draft position in dynasty drafts. Philadelphia

0:56:34.960 --> 0:56:38.799
<v Speaker 1>running back Kenneth Gainwell, Matt, what do you think too high?

0:56:38.800 --> 0:56:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Too lower? About right now? It's about right. I mean

0:56:41.239 --> 0:56:44.160
<v Speaker 1>it's a guy that could take over in a pinch

0:56:44.200 --> 0:56:46.640
<v Speaker 1>if Miles Sanders is dinged up again like he was

0:56:46.680 --> 0:56:49.239
<v Speaker 1>a little bit last year. So, but they do have

0:56:49.320 --> 0:56:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Boston Scott there, and I think they have oh gosh,

0:56:53.440 --> 0:56:56.239
<v Speaker 1>who's the old Detroit running back that they signed. Well,

0:56:56.320 --> 0:56:59.760
<v Speaker 1>carry on Johnson, he's over there too, so uh, lots

0:57:00.120 --> 0:57:02.960
<v Speaker 1>lots of depth chart issues there, but you know he's

0:57:03.000 --> 0:57:05.320
<v Speaker 1>got a chance. Right now, Miles Sanders and Boston Scott

0:57:05.360 --> 0:57:08.360
<v Speaker 1>are basically splitting carries in camp and they are working

0:57:08.400 --> 0:57:11.239
<v Speaker 1>a roll in for Gainewell. They've talked about that. Um,

0:57:11.800 --> 0:57:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I it's gonna take something for that. He Actually the

0:57:15.080 --> 0:57:17.080
<v Speaker 1>next several people were going to talk about I have

0:57:17.120 --> 0:57:18.920
<v Speaker 1>too high because I have guys in the third I

0:57:18.960 --> 0:57:22.360
<v Speaker 1>like better. Alright, Philadelphia running back Kenneth Gainewell too high

0:57:22.440 --> 0:57:24.600
<v Speaker 1>for me at this stage, eighth pick of the second round.

0:57:24.640 --> 0:57:27.440
<v Speaker 1>He's a poor man's Boston Scott, and inconveniently for him,

0:57:27.520 --> 0:57:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Boston Scott is already on this team. Yes, uh, pick

0:57:30.640 --> 0:57:33.840
<v Speaker 1>number nine my average draft position on rookie drafts in

0:57:33.880 --> 0:57:38.240
<v Speaker 1>the second round, Pittsburgh tight end Pat Friar Muth Scott

0:57:38.920 --> 0:57:41.200
<v Speaker 1>too high, too low? Or about right? Yeah, it's it's

0:57:41.240 --> 0:57:43.240
<v Speaker 1>still too high for me, just because there's other guys

0:57:43.280 --> 0:57:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I I like coming up, guy that we're not even

0:57:45.200 --> 0:57:47.160
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about, maybe like in the second round,

0:57:47.200 --> 0:57:49.360
<v Speaker 1>like Nico Collins, who might get a ton of targets

0:57:49.360 --> 0:57:52.240
<v Speaker 1>for Houston here in the show. I love Nico Collins,

0:57:52.400 --> 0:57:54.120
<v Speaker 1>just a big guy that's gonna get a lot of work.

0:57:54.120 --> 0:57:56.080
<v Speaker 1>And Dammy Brown for Washington. I like it. I like

0:57:56.160 --> 0:57:58.920
<v Speaker 1>these guys better than guys like fire Muth. And what

0:57:58.960 --> 0:58:01.000
<v Speaker 1>do we know what that's for? Offense is gonna be

0:58:01.000 --> 0:58:03.320
<v Speaker 1>next year with Ben gone and those receivers still like

0:58:04.120 --> 0:58:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I I don't love it. Yeah, I'm with Scott on

0:58:08.520 --> 0:58:10.160
<v Speaker 1>the on the fact that I don't love him in

0:58:10.160 --> 0:58:14.200
<v Speaker 1>this position either, mostly because tight end rookies are just

0:58:14.360 --> 0:58:16.480
<v Speaker 1>bad and if you're taking one this late, it's just

0:58:16.520 --> 0:58:19.680
<v Speaker 1>cramming up a roster spot on my roster. I'll wait

0:58:19.840 --> 0:58:23.760
<v Speaker 1>till somebody drops him, and somebody will somebody draft him

0:58:23.760 --> 0:58:25.320
<v Speaker 1>and drop him this year. I'll pick him up in

0:58:25.360 --> 0:58:27.840
<v Speaker 1>December and just throw him on my roster and feel

0:58:27.840 --> 0:58:29.720
<v Speaker 1>good about it. Then Eric he runs in the last

0:58:29.760 --> 0:58:32.720
<v Speaker 1>year of his deal. Pat Friar Muth is going to

0:58:32.760 --> 0:58:36.200
<v Speaker 1>be the starter for the Steelers next year. And you know,

0:58:36.240 --> 0:58:38.880
<v Speaker 1>if you're in a deep enough dynasty or empire league, okay,

0:58:39.040 --> 0:58:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I can see you pick him here and stash him

0:58:41.760 --> 0:58:44.560
<v Speaker 1>and you've got Pittsburgh starter. I don't to your point.

0:58:44.560 --> 0:58:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who's gonna throw them the ball though.

0:58:46.160 --> 0:58:48.680
<v Speaker 1>That's a that's a big question mark right now. At

0:58:48.720 --> 0:58:51.800
<v Speaker 1>pick number ten in Dynasty Empire rookie drafts in the

0:58:51.840 --> 0:58:55.800
<v Speaker 1>second round, Carolina running back Cuba Hubbard, Matt you like

0:58:55.960 --> 0:58:58.040
<v Speaker 1>him here? Too high? Too low or about right? He's

0:58:58.120 --> 0:59:01.920
<v Speaker 1>just buried behind Christian mccalfe. Free. Uh, it's too high

0:59:02.000 --> 0:59:03.800
<v Speaker 1>for me. I don't want to put a guy on

0:59:03.880 --> 0:59:08.000
<v Speaker 1>my roster that's just hidden behind the best running back

0:59:08.000 --> 0:59:11.480
<v Speaker 1>in football. It's it's a little high just because the

0:59:11.520 --> 0:59:13.560
<v Speaker 1>receivers I mentioned that I like better. I even like

0:59:13.720 --> 0:59:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Scridge in the next round better. I like the guy

0:59:15.960 --> 0:59:18.200
<v Speaker 1>we're going to talk about next a little better. So

0:59:18.360 --> 0:59:21.240
<v Speaker 1>he's a little high. Um on the prep. I'm gonna

0:59:21.240 --> 0:59:23.360
<v Speaker 1>go back front for a second. I'd rather take Jacob

0:59:23.400 --> 0:59:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Harris for in the like the third or fourth round.

0:59:26.240 --> 0:59:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Then I would waste a second round or on firemoth

0:59:28.720 --> 0:59:31.280
<v Speaker 1>it with the eleventh pick in the second round. By

0:59:31.280 --> 0:59:34.840
<v Speaker 1>average draft position, Dynasty League players are taking rookie Green

0:59:34.880 --> 0:59:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Bay rookie wide receiver a Maori Rogers. Is this too high,

0:59:39.080 --> 0:59:42.400
<v Speaker 1>too low or about right? Scott? It's I mean, it's

0:59:42.440 --> 0:59:45.120
<v Speaker 1>too low because the three above that I don't don't

0:59:45.160 --> 0:59:49.080
<v Speaker 1>want as high as they're going. I have Amari Rodgers

0:59:49.200 --> 0:59:52.440
<v Speaker 1>just below Nico Collins. So you know, if you put that,

0:59:52.480 --> 0:59:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I guess he's a spot too low. Maybe then I guess, okay,

0:59:55.680 --> 0:59:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a little too My voice just trying

0:59:58.480 --> 1:00:01.840
<v Speaker 1>to convince yourself. The higher your voice goes, is this

1:00:01.960 --> 1:00:04.479
<v Speaker 1>your lie? Tell? Is this like when you're not sure

1:00:04.520 --> 1:00:08.080
<v Speaker 1>and you're like maybe even lying? It's hard to draft

1:00:08.120 --> 1:00:10.280
<v Speaker 1>board when I got three guys that I've pulled and

1:00:10.280 --> 1:00:14.320
<v Speaker 1>put in the third round. Um, the reason I think

1:00:14.320 --> 1:00:16.200
<v Speaker 1>it's a little low for Marie Rogers, it's just Al

1:00:16.240 --> 1:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Lazard and Marc Hazvelda Scanley have steadfastly refused to take

1:00:21.920 --> 1:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>a meaningful role in this offense and get every opportunity.

1:00:25.640 --> 1:00:28.360
<v Speaker 1>So those guys to me are basically dead to me,

1:00:28.480 --> 1:00:31.560
<v Speaker 1>and Amari Rodgers has got the opportunity. Let me tell you,

1:00:31.680 --> 1:00:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Marie Rogers would have moved up a half around with

1:00:34.800 --> 1:00:37.360
<v Speaker 1>friend Cobb had not gone there. Yeah, would have moved

1:00:37.360 --> 1:00:40.600
<v Speaker 1>way up, all right, the final pick of the second round,

1:00:40.600 --> 1:00:43.919
<v Speaker 1>in the last player we're going to talk about our

1:00:44.080 --> 1:00:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Dynasty draft. This is your adp America is New England

1:00:48.520 --> 1:00:51.520
<v Speaker 1>quarterback Mac Jones. Scott, go ahead, if you're gonna push

1:00:51.680 --> 1:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>on him, explain why, Yeah, it's okay. Why don't you

1:00:55.200 --> 1:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>just tell us the guys you want and said it's

1:00:57.120 --> 1:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>a one U league. McCorkle is, he's fine, and he's

1:01:01.040 --> 1:01:03.480
<v Speaker 1>very pro ready, and honestly, if you're looking for a

1:01:03.600 --> 1:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>safe floor quarterback, that you know that he's probably got

1:01:06.840 --> 1:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>a decently okay safe floor because he's he's pretty pro ready.

1:01:10.200 --> 1:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>So once he gets the job, but he doesn't have

1:01:11.760 --> 1:01:13.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of good weapons except for john who I

1:01:13.880 --> 1:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>know you love Johnny. But there there's at least five

1:01:17.560 --> 1:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>guys in the next round. I want more than Mac

1:01:19.440 --> 1:01:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Jones in a one QB league. Yeah, that's I think

1:01:22.080 --> 1:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be a a situation where Cam's gonna play

1:01:25.840 --> 1:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>himself out of that job for very long. Mac Jones

1:01:28.720 --> 1:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>will be the starter and or they will do a

1:01:31.520 --> 1:01:36.040
<v Speaker 1>risky surgery putting Cam's legs on mccork kid I like it,

1:01:36.520 --> 1:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>or poking with a needle tyrod style just to get

1:01:39.440 --> 1:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>mac Jones in. Don't do that, Kirk Cousins. No need,

1:01:42.760 --> 1:01:46.160
<v Speaker 1>no needle poke in there. Nope, No, When we come back.

1:01:46.280 --> 1:01:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Three tough questions? Is that gonna be one of them?

1:01:48.440 --> 1:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Can't you poke? Kirk Cousins find out when we come

1:01:51.560 --> 1:01:54.360
<v Speaker 1>back to Fantasy Football Weekly his wife, I might have

1:01:54.400 --> 1:02:17.400
<v Speaker 1>something to say. Fantasy Football Weekly continues fault charging from

1:02:17.400 --> 1:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Guillotine Leagues dot Com, Scott Fish and Matt Harrison Shock

1:02:20.680 --> 1:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy dot Com. This is a game we call three

1:02:24.680 --> 1:02:27.880
<v Speaker 1>tough questions. I will pepper my co host, with three

1:02:28.000 --> 1:02:33.480
<v Speaker 1>tough questions. Three questions Pepper with three like three specks

1:02:33.520 --> 1:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>of pepper. No, it's uh, it's more I think if

1:02:36.320 --> 1:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>it's more like shotgun shot, you know. I think it's

1:02:39.120 --> 1:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>more of that kind of peppering in my mind anyway,

1:02:42.000 --> 1:02:44.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe because I want to shoot you. That'll be up.

1:02:44.120 --> 1:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>It'll be for you guys to do rather than eat

1:02:47.320 --> 1:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>you with pepper. So you know there's that not a

1:02:49.920 --> 1:02:56.720
<v Speaker 1>cannibal over here. Tough question number one, Well, Michael Thomas

1:02:56.840 --> 1:03:01.960
<v Speaker 1>ever return to be a consistent number one wide receiver.

1:03:02.440 --> 1:03:04.200
<v Speaker 1>And by number one, I only number one overall. I

1:03:04.240 --> 1:03:06.520
<v Speaker 1>mean wide receiver one on your team, so roughly one

1:03:06.520 --> 1:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>of the twelve ish best wide receivers in the league.

1:03:09.240 --> 1:03:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Will Michael Thomas Ever returned to be a consistent wide

1:03:12.480 --> 1:03:17.320
<v Speaker 1>receiver number one. Matt I covered that, Uh, the Saints

1:03:17.320 --> 1:03:19.800
<v Speaker 1>were one of the most run heavy teams in football

1:03:19.920 --> 1:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>last season exactly fifth Actually, um was that because Michael

1:03:24.160 --> 1:03:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Thomas was injured most of the year. Was that Drew

1:03:26.360 --> 1:03:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Brees being old? Was that Taysom Hill can't really throw?

1:03:30.080 --> 1:03:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Was that Jamis Winston is not really that accurate. But

1:03:32.480 --> 1:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>here's the issue. Thomas waited to have that surgery until

1:03:36.080 --> 1:03:39.040
<v Speaker 1>late Why did he do that, we don't really know.

1:03:39.120 --> 1:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>But that's not necessarily the mark of a player who's

1:03:41.120 --> 1:03:43.880
<v Speaker 1>happy with his current team. And he's only twenty seven.

1:03:44.240 --> 1:03:46.480
<v Speaker 1>He's got a few years of solid play left, and

1:03:46.720 --> 1:03:50.600
<v Speaker 1>he's got a potential out on his contract after this season,

1:03:50.880 --> 1:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>and the Saints have been traditionally one of the teams

1:03:53.360 --> 1:03:56.120
<v Speaker 1>that have been very cash strapped as well. So I'd

1:03:56.120 --> 1:03:59.120
<v Speaker 1>say he will return to wide receiver one status. It'll

1:03:59.160 --> 1:04:05.000
<v Speaker 1>be next year, and it won't be for New Orleans. Okay,

1:04:06.920 --> 1:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna I'm gonna add a year to that because

1:04:09.040 --> 1:04:12.480
<v Speaker 1>he's actually twenty eight. Um, next he's gonna miss half

1:04:12.480 --> 1:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the season, So I don't think it's gonna be this year.

1:04:14.560 --> 1:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, come back from the injury we saw last year. Um,

1:04:17.640 --> 1:04:20.280
<v Speaker 1>so next year we're talking about twenty nine. If it's

1:04:20.320 --> 1:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>on a new team, there's not a very good history

1:04:22.680 --> 1:04:25.280
<v Speaker 1>outside of like Stefon Diggs or Randy Moss point from,

1:04:25.760 --> 1:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>there's not a good history of a team a star

1:04:28.280 --> 1:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>player changing teams and then wide receivers particularly well, we'll

1:04:31.280 --> 1:04:34.840
<v Speaker 1>see Julio especially late career, not not a good stretch

1:04:34.880 --> 1:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>for him. So I'm gonna go no on that, just

1:04:36.840 --> 1:04:39.000
<v Speaker 1>because the age, if he's in New Orleans, it's gonna

1:04:39.040 --> 1:04:41.400
<v Speaker 1>be interesting with the QP situation if he if he

1:04:41.440 --> 1:04:44.120
<v Speaker 1>does move on, that's a bad track records. I'm going no.

1:04:44.720 --> 1:04:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll add another reason why the correct answer is no.

1:04:47.720 --> 1:04:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Soft tissue injuries. Many they when they start, it feels

1:04:52.200 --> 1:04:54.920
<v Speaker 1>like they start piling up and they become easier and

1:04:55.040 --> 1:04:58.400
<v Speaker 1>easier and easier to get and you know much it

1:04:58.440 --> 1:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>sounds ridiculous. I'd run of the A C. L injury

1:05:01.000 --> 1:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>to come back from right. That is a one time deal.

1:05:03.360 --> 1:05:07.560
<v Speaker 1>The soft tissue stuff mounts and mounts. And Michael Thomas

1:05:07.640 --> 1:05:12.320
<v Speaker 1>has made his name in fantasy through volume and reputation

1:05:12.520 --> 1:05:15.960
<v Speaker 1>and catching balls and getting tackled. Um, I don't see

1:05:15.960 --> 1:05:19.720
<v Speaker 1>how he avoids the soft tissue injuries continuing going forward.

1:05:20.280 --> 1:05:25.840
<v Speaker 1>The correct answer is no. Tough question number two, considering

1:05:25.840 --> 1:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>the injuries to Colts guard Quentin Nelson and quarterback Carson Wentz,

1:05:30.080 --> 1:05:35.080
<v Speaker 1>what is your level of concern for Jonathan Taylor none? Some,

1:05:35.720 --> 1:05:40.560
<v Speaker 1>or a bowl loosening level of existential dread? We begin

1:05:40.560 --> 1:05:46.040
<v Speaker 1>with Scott Fish. So I'm gonna I think it was

1:05:46.080 --> 1:05:48.800
<v Speaker 1>the first time I've ever went this route on this

1:05:48.800 --> 1:05:51.760
<v Speaker 1>show because I'm usually very optimistic on things. Yes, I'm

1:05:51.760 --> 1:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>going to go with the balls one. This time, you're

1:05:53.600 --> 1:05:57.920
<v Speaker 1>taking the bowels. I'm gonna take the balls one. Welcome

1:05:58.000 --> 1:06:00.959
<v Speaker 1>to the dark size. He's still gonna get a decent

1:06:01.000 --> 1:06:03.640
<v Speaker 1>amount of work, and his a DP has dropped a

1:06:03.680 --> 1:06:07.120
<v Speaker 1>good full round now because because of these issues. But

1:06:07.200 --> 1:06:09.640
<v Speaker 1>last year when running to the opposite side of Nelson,

1:06:09.720 --> 1:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>he barely averaged over two yards per carry and over

1:06:12.600 --> 1:06:14.720
<v Speaker 1>four yards like four and a half yards per carry

1:06:14.760 --> 1:06:17.640
<v Speaker 1>to Nelson Quent Nelson's side, So he's not gonna have

1:06:17.760 --> 1:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>that for a bit to start the season. Uh, he

1:06:20.520 --> 1:06:22.480
<v Speaker 1>may be one of those late season comes out just

1:06:22.520 --> 1:06:25.040
<v Speaker 1>like he did last year. But I'm really worried about

1:06:25.120 --> 1:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>him early on to start the season. Okay, Matt, is

1:06:28.080 --> 1:06:31.439
<v Speaker 1>the appropriate level of concern for Jonathan Taylor none some

1:06:31.680 --> 1:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>or a bowel loosening level of existential dread. When you ever,

1:06:34.760 --> 1:06:39.160
<v Speaker 1>whenever you bring up the bowel loosening level oftential existential dread,

1:06:39.280 --> 1:06:42.960
<v Speaker 1>that always causes a big problem in my brain. It

1:06:43.120 --> 1:06:47.520
<v Speaker 1>damages my cerebrum, which does enables my speech, judgment and

1:06:47.640 --> 1:06:52.040
<v Speaker 1>thinking reasoning. So I'm gonna go exact opposite of Scott

1:06:52.320 --> 1:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>and say there's none because I guess you can't reason,

1:06:56.160 --> 1:06:59.040
<v Speaker 1>because I can't reason anymore. Taylor finished as RB six

1:06:59.120 --> 1:07:00.920
<v Speaker 1>last year, really did that in the second half of the

1:07:00.880 --> 1:07:03.160
<v Speaker 1>the years. The Colts coaching staff had him splitting carries

1:07:03.160 --> 1:07:06.200
<v Speaker 1>with nine hines. Notable players that finished around him in

1:07:06.280 --> 1:07:11.400
<v Speaker 1>PPR leagues David Montgomery finished fourth, James Robinson finished seventh,

1:07:11.720 --> 1:07:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Mike Davis finished twelve. What do all those runners have

1:07:14.960 --> 1:07:19.320
<v Speaker 1>in common? Bad offensive lines and poor quarterback play last year?

1:07:19.480 --> 1:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, Quentin Nelson is a big loss, but he

1:07:21.480 --> 1:07:23.280
<v Speaker 1>could only be gone for maybe a month. He might

1:07:23.280 --> 1:07:25.840
<v Speaker 1>be back by the end of September. The Colts were

1:07:25.840 --> 1:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>still ranked as Pro Football Focuses number two offensive line

1:07:29.200 --> 1:07:32.400
<v Speaker 1>coming into camp. There's there's not really any concern for me.

1:07:32.480 --> 1:07:34.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm fine drafting him in the first round. Still, well,

1:07:34.880 --> 1:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>so you guys stick the two extremes and the correct

1:07:36.880 --> 1:07:40.720
<v Speaker 1>answer is right between there. Honestly, that is what it

1:07:40.720 --> 1:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>should be. I just felt like going with the bas

1:07:43.640 --> 1:07:48.280
<v Speaker 1>like that working and I have no reasoning never did

1:07:48.360 --> 1:07:52.040
<v Speaker 1>working against Jonathan Taylor. If Wentz doesn't come back until October,

1:07:52.440 --> 1:07:56.120
<v Speaker 1>you can't roll into any Sunday and feel good about

1:07:56.120 --> 1:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>what he might do. You can't your your level of

1:07:58.040 --> 1:08:00.000
<v Speaker 1>confidence in any game is going to be low. Every

1:08:00.040 --> 1:08:03.520
<v Speaker 1>defense will play to stop Jonathan Taylor and make Jacob

1:08:03.520 --> 1:08:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Eason not related Tony beat them, and that's probably not

1:08:06.480 --> 1:08:09.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen very often. Then, yet in the unknown status

1:08:09.960 --> 1:08:13.280
<v Speaker 1>to his best offensive lineman, and you need You also

1:08:13.360 --> 1:08:15.840
<v Speaker 1>have to buy into this notion that frank Reich is

1:08:15.880 --> 1:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>suddenly not a running back by committee coach. We have

1:08:21.160 --> 1:08:24.880
<v Speaker 1>a career with Frank Reich that tells us he is

1:08:24.920 --> 1:08:27.960
<v Speaker 1>a running back by committee coach. And yes, at the

1:08:28.080 --> 1:08:31.400
<v Speaker 1>end of the year, he powered Jonathan Taylor at the

1:08:31.479 --> 1:08:33.880
<v Speaker 1>end of the year when they needed every win to

1:08:33.920 --> 1:08:37.160
<v Speaker 1>get into the playoffs. At that point, he felt like,

1:08:37.200 --> 1:08:40.040
<v Speaker 1>why not grind up. Jonathan Taylor, you have nothing to lose.

1:08:40.360 --> 1:08:43.400
<v Speaker 1>And mind you, he didn't have hidn't have Mac, didn't

1:08:43.439 --> 1:08:46.599
<v Speaker 1>have Mac. Now he does. Marlon Mack is back. Um,

1:08:46.640 --> 1:08:48.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, there is some good things for Taylor and

1:08:48.160 --> 1:08:50.479
<v Speaker 1>this is why it's the answer is some He is good.

1:08:50.680 --> 1:08:53.200
<v Speaker 1>The offensive line is still pretty good even without Quentin Nelson,

1:08:53.320 --> 1:08:57.559
<v Speaker 1>and maybe maybe Carson Wentz only misses a handful of games.

1:08:58.000 --> 1:09:02.240
<v Speaker 1>But even so this is a tough spot. At least

1:09:02.240 --> 1:09:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Wentz and Nelson Taylor have the same injury and they

1:09:04.800 --> 1:09:07.280
<v Speaker 1>can rehab together. Isn't that sweet, isn't it? Yeah? You

1:09:07.320 --> 1:09:10.400
<v Speaker 1>know what they know what they should do? Three legged race.

1:09:11.200 --> 1:09:13.120
<v Speaker 1>They would be perfect in the three legged race. They

1:09:13.120 --> 1:09:16.439
<v Speaker 1>could put their injured feet in the sack. That's what

1:09:16.479 --> 1:09:20.559
<v Speaker 1>they should do. Tough question number three, Which tight end

1:09:20.600 --> 1:09:24.439
<v Speaker 1>should go first? Darren Waller or George Kittle? And I'll

1:09:24.479 --> 1:09:27.040
<v Speaker 1>know two listeners. They are currently separated by four picks

1:09:27.040 --> 1:09:29.760
<v Speaker 1>an average draft position, so it's very tight white right here,

1:09:30.160 --> 1:09:34.080
<v Speaker 1>which should go first? We begin with Matt I wavered

1:09:34.120 --> 1:09:36.040
<v Speaker 1>back and forth on this one a little bit, and

1:09:36.120 --> 1:09:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I've I've actually drafted Waller a few times above Kittle

1:09:39.120 --> 1:09:41.320
<v Speaker 1>in in some of my best ball draft so far

1:09:41.360 --> 1:09:44.000
<v Speaker 1>this year. But I'm gonna go Kittle. And here's why.

1:09:44.840 --> 1:09:47.120
<v Speaker 1>The Raiders have one of the worst offensive lines in

1:09:47.160 --> 1:09:50.320
<v Speaker 1>the NFL and was actually significantly better last year. And

1:09:50.360 --> 1:09:52.720
<v Speaker 1>the Niners have one of the best offensive lines in

1:09:52.720 --> 1:09:55.320
<v Speaker 1>the league and it improved with the addition of Alex

1:09:55.400 --> 1:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>mac Plus the forty Niners have a better quarterback situation,

1:09:59.240 --> 1:10:02.839
<v Speaker 1>a better off punts of coach, seemingly better weapons surrounding

1:10:02.880 --> 1:10:05.920
<v Speaker 1>their tight ends. And what's good for the offense is

1:10:05.960 --> 1:10:07.880
<v Speaker 1>good for the offense. And now Waller is gonna go

1:10:07.960 --> 1:10:10.800
<v Speaker 1>first in drafts. Everyone will replay last year and how

1:10:10.840 --> 1:10:12.800
<v Speaker 1>awesome he was down the stretch while Kittle spent a

1:10:12.840 --> 1:10:15.799
<v Speaker 1>ton of time injured. I'll spend a few fewer bucks

1:10:15.840 --> 1:10:19.080
<v Speaker 1>in my auction and get Kittle and uh gets similar,

1:10:19.120 --> 1:10:22.400
<v Speaker 1>if not better results than Waller. Okay, Scott, who shop?

1:10:22.520 --> 1:10:24.439
<v Speaker 1>And I know I know how you feel about you

1:10:24.520 --> 1:10:27.639
<v Speaker 1>look both of these players. This question is really It's

1:10:27.640 --> 1:10:30.920
<v Speaker 1>called three tough questions for a reason. I'm gonna I'm

1:10:30.960 --> 1:10:33.479
<v Speaker 1>going right at your heart on this. Which tight end

1:10:33.520 --> 1:10:36.640
<v Speaker 1>should go first? Waller or Kittle? Yeah? This, this this

1:10:36.720 --> 1:10:39.000
<v Speaker 1>sucks because I was I was early on the Kiddle

1:10:39.760 --> 1:10:45.040
<v Speaker 1>love kt um past tense. I noticed I still I

1:10:45.080 --> 1:10:48.360
<v Speaker 1>still absolutely love George Kittle, But if I just have

1:10:48.439 --> 1:10:51.200
<v Speaker 1>to take one or the other, I'm taking Darren Waller.

1:10:51.240 --> 1:10:52.920
<v Speaker 1>He's going to be the number one or number two

1:10:53.000 --> 1:10:55.519
<v Speaker 1>target getter. I I have a hard time believing he'll

1:10:55.560 --> 1:10:57.960
<v Speaker 1>even be number two. He'll be the number one target

1:10:58.000 --> 1:11:01.639
<v Speaker 1>getter for car He's gonna be cars security blanket. Um.

1:11:01.880 --> 1:11:04.360
<v Speaker 1>When you're the number one receiving option on your team,

1:11:04.400 --> 1:11:06.519
<v Speaker 1>you're just you're just gonna get a whole lot more

1:11:06.560 --> 1:11:11.080
<v Speaker 1>options for the forty Niners. They love to run. They

1:11:11.160 --> 1:11:14.559
<v Speaker 1>might have a quarterback change. Kitto keeps getting injured each year,

1:11:14.600 --> 1:11:17.200
<v Speaker 1>which it sucks, but it is what it is. Uh.

1:11:17.240 --> 1:11:19.959
<v Speaker 1>They have some up and coming, really good other receiving

1:11:20.000 --> 1:11:22.679
<v Speaker 1>options on that team. I just I just think Waller

1:11:22.720 --> 1:11:25.400
<v Speaker 1>is in a much better position to shine, much safer position.

1:11:25.560 --> 1:11:28.519
<v Speaker 1>Darren Waller led the NFL in targets among tight ends

1:11:28.600 --> 1:11:30.640
<v Speaker 1>last year, and it was near the top even if

1:11:30.640 --> 1:11:33.240
<v Speaker 1>when you include wide receivers and the forty Niners do

1:11:33.400 --> 1:11:36.320
<v Speaker 1>is much better, which you know they might not need

1:11:36.360 --> 1:11:39.479
<v Speaker 1>to pass as much. Well. When Kyle, when Kyle Chanhan,

1:11:39.680 --> 1:11:42.679
<v Speaker 1>what can run when he's got a healthy, effective runner.

1:11:42.760 --> 1:11:46.679
<v Speaker 1>He does. Yeah, and the Super Bowl year, great defense

1:11:46.800 --> 1:11:49.160
<v Speaker 1>did not pass as much. You saw the playoffs didn't.

1:11:49.160 --> 1:11:50.880
<v Speaker 1>It was as a Viking fan I did see that

1:11:50.880 --> 1:11:54.120
<v Speaker 1>out that playoff us the Titan, that Hill should go first.

1:11:54.160 --> 1:11:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Although I'll be honest, Matt swayed me more than I

1:11:57.200 --> 1:11:59.560
<v Speaker 1>thought I would be, So look at that as The

1:11:59.600 --> 1:12:03.320
<v Speaker 1>correct answer is Darren Waller. For the reasons you've already mentioned, Uh,

1:12:03.439 --> 1:12:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Kittle less compete for passes with other excellent receivers, and

1:12:07.320 --> 1:12:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Kittle does have the history of injury. But you know

1:12:10.080 --> 1:12:13.360
<v Speaker 1>convenient that he has to compete for passes when he's

1:12:13.360 --> 1:12:17.000
<v Speaker 1>got a good offense. But some other times it's like, oh,

1:12:17.040 --> 1:12:20.280
<v Speaker 1>he's got good wide receivers around him. The correct answer

1:12:20.360 --> 1:12:24.519
<v Speaker 1>is Darren Waller. Now what you didn't know was coming.

1:12:24.720 --> 1:12:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Tough question, A bonus tough question. Drafters who take all

1:12:33.920 --> 1:12:36.920
<v Speaker 1>of their allotted time in a slow draft. They play

1:12:36.960 --> 1:12:39.439
<v Speaker 1>out like every minute of it in a slow draft

1:12:39.600 --> 1:12:43.960
<v Speaker 1>online slow draft, just in case something might happen, like

1:12:44.360 --> 1:12:46.559
<v Speaker 1>maybe I'll get a trade offer, or maybe they'll be

1:12:46.600 --> 1:12:48.960
<v Speaker 1>like some injury thing that I could capitalize on. I'm

1:12:48.960 --> 1:12:52.639
<v Speaker 1>gonna play milk it all out every last minute. Are

1:12:52.720 --> 1:13:00.160
<v Speaker 1>they a ass hats, b ultra ass hats or see

1:13:00.200 --> 1:13:05.240
<v Speaker 1>the quintessential ass hat in the history of assets. Man Scott,

1:13:06.640 --> 1:13:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm gonna just go with the first one. Um,

1:13:11.640 --> 1:13:14.200
<v Speaker 1>but I can see all the arguments. It's good strategy,

1:13:14.240 --> 1:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>but it's also really really hard on a league. Players.

1:13:20.200 --> 1:13:24.240
<v Speaker 1>You do that hurts the league is not good. Um,

1:13:24.280 --> 1:13:26.840
<v Speaker 1>technically that's the rule. They have their time, they can

1:13:26.840 --> 1:13:30.400
<v Speaker 1>do at that time whatever they want, but it's it's

1:13:30.439 --> 1:13:32.560
<v Speaker 1>just not not very nice. I'm just gonna I'm just

1:13:32.600 --> 1:13:34.719
<v Speaker 1>gonna go with the first one. But I can understand

1:13:34.760 --> 1:13:38.280
<v Speaker 1>any of these. It's annoying. But if it's really bugging you,

1:13:38.320 --> 1:13:41.000
<v Speaker 1>why are you in a league that has a slow

1:13:41.160 --> 1:13:44.280
<v Speaker 1>draft element to it, then why don't we speed up

1:13:44.320 --> 1:13:46.519
<v Speaker 1>the element of your league? If it's if it's ruining

1:13:46.560 --> 1:13:50.280
<v Speaker 1>your league, who you're going to take? Yeah, take your guy. Okay,

1:13:51.560 --> 1:13:54.640
<v Speaker 1>that's not hard. You got you gotta loven other teammates

1:13:54.640 --> 1:13:56.559
<v Speaker 1>that are waiting for you to make your damn pick.

1:13:57.560 --> 1:14:01.639
<v Speaker 1>Go make your pickle get let's keep this draft moving.

1:14:01.840 --> 1:14:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I think that you just wanted to say ass hat

1:14:04.320 --> 1:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>several times. Answer was a B and c all of

1:14:09.200 --> 1:14:15.240
<v Speaker 1>the above. I worked very hard not to um. I

1:14:15.320 --> 1:14:20.240
<v Speaker 1>thought about a making it a series of more vulgar words.

1:14:20.479 --> 1:14:23.040
<v Speaker 1>We'll just stick with ass hat, because that's what you

1:14:23.080 --> 1:14:26.040
<v Speaker 1>are when you take every minute of your allotted time

1:14:26.040 --> 1:14:28.800
<v Speaker 1>in a slow draft. When we come back, what to

1:14:28.920 --> 1:14:31.920
<v Speaker 1>do with that new extra week on your schedule, and

1:14:32.040 --> 1:14:36.360

<v Speaker 1>in just a moment. But first, Commissioners have got this

1:15:24.680 --> 1:15:28.200
<v Speaker 1>new extra week in the schedule. And while you could

1:15:28.600 --> 1:15:33.599
<v Speaker 1>just have another week scheduled, teams whatever, I like having

1:15:33.640 --> 1:15:36.920
<v Speaker 1>some fun with this new extra week, and so I've

1:15:36.920 --> 1:15:39.200
<v Speaker 1>got some ideas I know you guys have to about

1:15:39.280 --> 1:15:41.960
<v Speaker 1>what to do with this new extra week that we've

1:15:42.000 --> 1:15:43.920
<v Speaker 1>we've all got. Now, I think we all agree that

1:15:44.000 --> 1:15:47.959
<v Speaker 1>we're not playing week because you shouldn't be playing deciding

1:15:47.960 --> 1:15:50.920
<v Speaker 1>your fantasy championship in a week in which the best

1:15:50.920 --> 1:15:54.040
<v Speaker 1>players aren't playing. And we're just backing up our three

1:15:54.080 --> 1:15:56.320
<v Speaker 1>weeks of playoffs, and so you know, we're not really

1:15:56.360 --> 1:15:58.439
<v Speaker 1>changing the playoff format, just the weeks they come in

1:15:58.479 --> 1:15:59.920
<v Speaker 1>and you've got this extra week and it might be

1:16:00.040 --> 1:16:03.200
<v Speaker 1>now like Week fourteen, which used to be the start

1:16:03.240 --> 1:16:05.280
<v Speaker 1>of the playoffs, so now it's this new week fourteen.

1:16:06.080 --> 1:16:09.240
<v Speaker 1>What are some fun things that people can do in

1:16:09.760 --> 1:16:12.760
<v Speaker 1>week fourteen with this new extra week. You know, the

1:16:13.240 --> 1:16:16.040
<v Speaker 1>options where there are so many more options. Before the

1:16:16.120 --> 1:16:18.439
<v Speaker 1>NFL said hey we're gonna throw by weeks in the

1:16:18.479 --> 1:16:21.880
<v Speaker 1>week thirteen and week fourteen, that that really limited what

1:16:21.960 --> 1:16:24.280
<v Speaker 1>you can do with the playoffs. Uh, I think most

1:16:24.320 --> 1:16:26.200
<v Speaker 1>people are just gonna go to the fourteen game season

1:16:26.240 --> 1:16:29.080
<v Speaker 1>with playoffs in weeks fifteen and seventeen. There's a few

1:16:29.080 --> 1:16:31.040
<v Speaker 1>other things you could do. I guess, um, if you're

1:16:31.040 --> 1:16:34.559
<v Speaker 1>a twelve team league, you could play in eleven game season.

1:16:34.800 --> 1:16:37.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a shorter season, but you play every team exactly

1:16:37.720 --> 1:16:40.439
<v Speaker 1>once and then go with doubleheaders for each of your

1:16:40.439 --> 1:16:45.320
<v Speaker 1>playoff weeks. Do a doubleheader in a playoff week. Well

1:16:45.360 --> 1:16:47.559
<v Speaker 1>there there there are sites that allow you to set

1:16:47.600 --> 1:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>it up that way, like ESPN does that NFL does,

1:16:49.960 --> 1:16:52.960
<v Speaker 1>But like basically, weeks twelve and thirteen is week one

1:16:52.960 --> 1:16:55.800
<v Speaker 1>of the playoffs for you. Week fourteen and fifteen is

1:16:55.800 --> 1:16:58.519
<v Speaker 1>a week two, and Week sixteen and seventeen is the

1:16:58.600 --> 1:17:02.559
<v Speaker 1>championship game. That combines score so that eliminates some of

1:17:02.600 --> 1:17:05.479
<v Speaker 1>the luck from a one week matchup, and you can

1:17:05.560 --> 1:17:08.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, have trash talk in between the two weeks,

1:17:08.240 --> 1:17:11.639
<v Speaker 1>which is fun. I like the luck because you know,

1:17:11.680 --> 1:17:13.479
<v Speaker 1>it's just it's just part of what you know, if

1:17:13.520 --> 1:17:17.240
<v Speaker 1>you if if chalk always wins, why watch sports? Right,

1:17:17.600 --> 1:17:20.880
<v Speaker 1>if the better team always wins, we wouldn't watch. Part

1:17:20.920 --> 1:17:26.000
<v Speaker 1>of what makes sports compelling is underdogs, overachieving and watching

1:17:26.320 --> 1:17:30.719
<v Speaker 1>great teams lose. That's what makes sports captivating, and fantasy

1:17:30.760 --> 1:17:34.080
<v Speaker 1>football is no different. Okay, uh yeah, I know you

1:17:34.160 --> 1:17:36.760
<v Speaker 1>like that. We've talked about that before. Just just some

1:17:36.800 --> 1:17:38.880
<v Speaker 1>people like to remove as much luck as possible and

1:17:39.000 --> 1:17:40.600
<v Speaker 1>have a skilled teams wins. Yeah. Well I have a

1:17:40.600 --> 1:17:43.080
<v Speaker 1>playoff system. Don't even have a playoff system, just use

1:17:43.080 --> 1:17:45.639
<v Speaker 1>points scored for sec. You know, to me, that's not fun.

1:17:46.439 --> 1:17:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I like, I'll give you another I'll give you my idea,

1:17:48.360 --> 1:17:53.160
<v Speaker 1>and then you can poop the rivalry reek Rivalry Week.

1:17:53.760 --> 1:17:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Why were we weak? Uh? In rivalry Week, you find

1:17:59.160 --> 1:18:02.519
<v Speaker 1>in your league, for whatever reason, players that have a

1:18:02.600 --> 1:18:07.080
<v Speaker 1>built in rivalry with each other. Could be um brothers

1:18:07.160 --> 1:18:08.880
<v Speaker 1>in the league, right, so we're gonna put them against

1:18:08.920 --> 1:18:11.479
<v Speaker 1>each other. Bernie and Dave Calture, you're gonna play against

1:18:11.479 --> 1:18:14.639
<v Speaker 1>each other. Or it could be the guy who knocked

1:18:14.680 --> 1:18:17.240
<v Speaker 1>you out last year, right, and you know that was

1:18:17.240 --> 1:18:18.800
<v Speaker 1>the guy who knocked you out of the playoffs. We're

1:18:18.800 --> 1:18:21.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna put those back together. I think in most leagues,

1:18:21.080 --> 1:18:24.400
<v Speaker 1>established leagues, you can find a reason to find rivals

1:18:24.680 --> 1:18:26.960
<v Speaker 1>in most of your league and set those guys up

1:18:27.000 --> 1:18:31.360
<v Speaker 1>to play in rivalry Week. So I love rivalries. I've

1:18:31.360 --> 1:18:34.759
<v Speaker 1>done him almost my entire fantasy career. Really, my home league,

1:18:34.960 --> 1:18:37.040
<v Speaker 1>we have five it's a ten team. We we have

1:18:37.120 --> 1:18:40.160
<v Speaker 1>five rivalry trophies, and at the draft, we also draft

1:18:40.200 --> 1:18:43.240
<v Speaker 1>our rival for the season. What do you mean explain this?

1:18:43.800 --> 1:18:47.960
<v Speaker 1>You draft a rival, like, so I draft you? Yeah? Okay,

1:18:48.000 --> 1:18:49.599
<v Speaker 1>yeah you can draft so wait do I still get

1:18:49.600 --> 1:18:51.720
<v Speaker 1>my draft pick? Oh? Yeah, yeah, No, this is a

1:18:51.760 --> 1:18:56.000
<v Speaker 1>second draft, okay, second draft of rivals. You draft drivals,

1:18:56.000 --> 1:18:59.320
<v Speaker 1>like if you draft me, Let's see, the people who

1:18:59.400 --> 1:19:01.519
<v Speaker 1>won the rive re game last year are the ones

1:19:01.600 --> 1:19:04.759
<v Speaker 1>game drafted the losers from the previous year do the drafting.

1:19:04.840 --> 1:19:07.519
<v Speaker 1>So you lost last year, of course, checking me and

1:19:07.600 --> 1:19:10.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm holding. And our trophies are like the Scotch Trophy,

1:19:10.360 --> 1:19:14.479
<v Speaker 1>the duct Tape Trophy, the die Hard Trophy. So we

1:19:14.560 --> 1:19:17.439
<v Speaker 1>have trophies for those rivalry games. And in a season

1:19:17.479 --> 1:19:19.840
<v Speaker 1>like this, you can keep your thirteen game season that

1:19:19.880 --> 1:19:21.760
<v Speaker 1>you had last year with the three weeks of playoffs

1:19:21.800 --> 1:19:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and do week one or two or three or four

1:19:23.920 --> 1:19:25.519
<v Speaker 1>one of the ones or five one one of the

1:19:25.520 --> 1:19:27.760
<v Speaker 1>one of the ones with no boys. But Week one

1:19:27.800 --> 1:19:29.600
<v Speaker 1>is a cool way to do it. Um, and you

1:19:29.600 --> 1:19:31.960
<v Speaker 1>can have that rival we were there and keep your

1:19:31.960 --> 1:19:34.960
<v Speaker 1>regular season the way it was. But um yeah, that's

1:19:35.040 --> 1:19:37.599
<v Speaker 1>We draft drivals every year. When I thought I had

1:19:37.600 --> 1:19:41.280
<v Speaker 1>heard of like every drafting variation, I've never heard of

1:19:41.439 --> 1:19:44.719
<v Speaker 1>drafting your rival. Oh yeah, my pigs leagues draft rivals

1:19:44.720 --> 1:19:46.840
<v Speaker 1>every year. We have rivalry trophies and you actually have

1:19:46.880 --> 1:19:49.120
<v Speaker 1>to send the loser has to send the winner ten

1:19:49.120 --> 1:19:53.840
<v Speaker 1>bucks if you lose the rivalry. Okay, Um, how about

1:19:53.840 --> 1:19:59.800
<v Speaker 1>this play in week just before the playoffs? So those

1:19:59.840 --> 1:20:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the excellent alright, So the teams that are jostling for

1:20:03.120 --> 1:20:05.840
<v Speaker 1>playoffs spots face each other as you effectively have a

1:20:05.960 --> 1:20:08.360
<v Speaker 1>play in week, and some of the teams are going

1:20:08.400 --> 1:20:09.479
<v Speaker 1>to be out of it and they can just play

1:20:09.520 --> 1:20:11.240
<v Speaker 1>each other whatever, it doesn't matter. But you want to

1:20:11.280 --> 1:20:13.400
<v Speaker 1>find these teams that are playing to get into the

1:20:13.400 --> 1:20:16.000
<v Speaker 1>playoffs and set them up so you you know, you

1:20:16.000 --> 1:20:17.960
<v Speaker 1>won't have a set schedule. You're not gonna know until

1:20:17.960 --> 1:20:20.479
<v Speaker 1>you till we week thirteen is over, and then use

1:20:20.520 --> 1:20:25.759
<v Speaker 1>fourteen as your playing week. Okay, So this is similar

1:20:25.800 --> 1:20:28.000
<v Speaker 1>to that, and I think this actually came from one

1:20:28.040 --> 1:20:30.800
<v Speaker 1>of our listeners of my My Commission Impossible podcast when

1:20:30.840 --> 1:20:34.000
<v Speaker 1>we went over this. But having that last week before

1:20:34.040 --> 1:20:37.439
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs be an all play and so you can

1:20:37.520 --> 1:20:40.920
<v Speaker 1>rack up x amount of wins in that week. So

1:20:41.000 --> 1:20:43.479
<v Speaker 1>that way, even if you have you can rack you

1:20:43.520 --> 1:20:47.240
<v Speaker 1>could Yeah, you you have a bad in twelve team,

1:20:47.280 --> 1:20:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I could get eleven wins that week. You're you're You're

1:20:49.880 --> 1:20:53.080
<v Speaker 1>not You're not taking because and and I believe I

1:20:53.120 --> 1:20:55.639
<v Speaker 1>believe the league he set up was double headers throughout

1:20:55.720 --> 1:20:58.960
<v Speaker 1>so like that mitigated a little bit. Yeah, but but

1:20:59.080 --> 1:21:00.599
<v Speaker 1>you could you could make a rule where you get

1:21:00.600 --> 1:21:02.479
<v Speaker 1>a half a win for each you know, for each

1:21:02.479 --> 1:21:05.000
<v Speaker 1>team you better beat or whatever. But that allows it

1:21:05.080 --> 1:21:07.400
<v Speaker 1>for the teams that are at the bottom to be like, oh,

1:21:07.479 --> 1:21:09.479
<v Speaker 1>maybe I have a shot to make a comeback, you know,

1:21:09.560 --> 1:21:11.320
<v Speaker 1>here strong in the second half of the season. So

1:21:11.400 --> 1:21:13.800
<v Speaker 1>having that play and we'd be an all play where

1:21:13.800 --> 1:21:16.360
<v Speaker 1>you can rack up some extra wins and maybe affect

1:21:16.360 --> 1:21:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the seeding, it's better for the teams that are coming

1:21:18.760 --> 1:21:20.559
<v Speaker 1>on strong at the end of the year. I've got

1:21:20.600 --> 1:21:22.880
<v Speaker 1>one more idea for what to do with that new

1:21:22.920 --> 1:21:27.640
<v Speaker 1>extra week in your fantasy schedule. Play for steaks and

1:21:27.680 --> 1:21:33.240
<v Speaker 1>here's actual steak many stakes ship home now play for steaks.

1:21:33.680 --> 1:21:38.599
<v Speaker 1>The winners get to rename the loser's team and it's

1:21:38.680 --> 1:21:42.759
<v Speaker 1>changed their logo for that week. So I'm playing Scott.

1:21:42.880 --> 1:21:45.160
<v Speaker 1>I beat Scott, I get to rename his team, change

1:21:45.160 --> 1:21:49.919
<v Speaker 1>his logo. Now, your league, depending on you know, depending

1:21:49.920 --> 1:21:52.240
<v Speaker 1>on how your league feels about things, you that could

1:21:52.280 --> 1:21:54.200
<v Speaker 1>go a lot of ways. You got it, you know,

1:21:54.240 --> 1:21:55.639
<v Speaker 1>you may have to be you know, you've been able

1:21:55.640 --> 1:21:57.720
<v Speaker 1>thoughtful about how you're going to use that but I

1:21:57.760 --> 1:22:00.280
<v Speaker 1>think that to me, that is a potentially a ton

1:22:00.280 --> 1:22:03.360
<v Speaker 1>of fun. Uh. The one thing we do have to

1:22:03.439 --> 1:22:05.880
<v Speaker 1>keep in mind is Week fourteen does have buy, so you,

1:22:06.240 --> 1:22:07.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean a lot of leagues might want to do

1:22:07.600 --> 1:22:09.800
<v Speaker 1>one of these fun weeks in like say week five,

1:22:09.920 --> 1:22:12.519
<v Speaker 1>essentially one weeks one through five you can play for

1:22:12.560 --> 1:22:15.000
<v Speaker 1>stakes when everything because there's really nothing you know, in

1:22:15.000 --> 1:22:17.439
<v Speaker 1>this case changing logo and team name, we're just having

1:22:17.439 --> 1:22:19.400
<v Speaker 1>fund at somebody else's expense. I think one of the

1:22:19.400 --> 1:22:22.599
<v Speaker 1>important things that we should mention that leagues should start

1:22:22.680 --> 1:22:26.480
<v Speaker 1>their playoffs in week fifteen this year, not Week fourteen

1:22:26.520 --> 1:22:29.880
<v Speaker 1>where the Eagles, called Dolphins, and Patriots are on buy.

1:22:31.680 --> 1:22:36.000
<v Speaker 1>So you should definitely plan fifteen, sixteen, seventeen as your

1:22:36.080 --> 1:22:39.200
<v Speaker 1>playoff weeks this next year if those buys aren't in

1:22:39.240 --> 1:22:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Week four teen, Just to throw it out there, you

1:22:41.320 --> 1:22:44.000
<v Speaker 1>can play your your thirteen game schedule in your thirteen

1:22:44.000 --> 1:22:46.640
<v Speaker 1>week season and take out the luck of the championship

1:22:46.720 --> 1:22:49.639
<v Speaker 1>game and have it be two weeks. I'm just kidding,

1:22:49.640 --> 1:22:52.840
<v Speaker 1>all right, Let's go to our three sleepers. Um. These

1:22:52.920 --> 1:22:56.920
<v Speaker 1>are players that are going in roughly double digit rounds

1:22:56.920 --> 1:23:00.400
<v Speaker 1>of a DP average raft positions in tenth round or lower,

1:23:00.479 --> 1:23:05.639
<v Speaker 1>but should be able to significantly outproduce that spot. Matt,

1:23:05.680 --> 1:23:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I will begin with you. Yeah, my guy's going in

1:23:07.920 --> 1:23:10.280
<v Speaker 1>the twelfth round in most drafts right now. And it's

1:23:10.320 --> 1:23:12.719
<v Speaker 1>a guy that you may know and may have drafted

1:23:12.720 --> 1:23:15.800
<v Speaker 1>one one overall at one point in your fantasy career,

1:23:15.840 --> 1:23:19.920
<v Speaker 1>and that's David Johnson. Uh. He averaged fifteen touches per

1:23:19.960 --> 1:23:22.559
<v Speaker 1>game last season. Yeah, he was dinged up again last year,

1:23:22.760 --> 1:23:25.960
<v Speaker 1>missed four games due to injury, but still finished as

1:23:26.040 --> 1:23:29.719
<v Speaker 1>running back twenty one in PPR leagues, which is shocking

1:23:29.800 --> 1:23:32.559
<v Speaker 1>in retrospect. Yeah, it's kind of it's he He's an

1:23:32.640 --> 1:23:35.080
<v Speaker 1>RB two on most rosters, and you can get him

1:23:35.080 --> 1:23:37.840
<v Speaker 1>as the in the twelfth round of your of your

1:23:37.880 --> 1:23:40.840
<v Speaker 1>drafts right now. Positive run rate of eighty five point

1:23:40.880 --> 1:23:44.880
<v Speaker 1>seven percent, a robust a dot of three point one

1:23:45.000 --> 1:23:48.280
<v Speaker 1>yards in the for a running back. At least um

1:23:49.600 --> 1:23:52.519
<v Speaker 1>of Houston's red zone touches went to David Johnson last

1:23:52.600 --> 1:23:55.200
<v Speaker 1>year inside the five. He converted six of his fifteen

1:23:55.200 --> 1:23:58.120
<v Speaker 1>touches for touchdowns. That's not great, I'll be honest, but

1:23:58.160 --> 1:24:01.320
<v Speaker 1>the fact that he got fifteen touches is pretty good. Yeah. Well,

1:24:01.320 --> 1:24:04.560
<v Speaker 1>it's the team's overall fifteen touches per game over a

1:24:04.640 --> 1:24:07.679
<v Speaker 1>seven team game schedule is two hundred fifty five touches.

1:24:08.360 --> 1:24:11.000
<v Speaker 1>In the two seasons where David Johnson has had just

1:24:11.160 --> 1:24:15.880
<v Speaker 1>two hundred touches, he's finished as RB one and RB nine.

1:24:16.320 --> 1:24:20.240
<v Speaker 1>That ain't happening this year. He can get two. You

1:24:20.280 --> 1:24:22.240
<v Speaker 1>can get to two under touches, and that means that

1:24:22.320 --> 1:24:25.360
<v Speaker 1>he's going to be a viable fantasy starter or at

1:24:25.439 --> 1:24:27.800
<v Speaker 1>least a flex play for you in any given week.

1:24:27.840 --> 1:24:30.160
<v Speaker 1>We have a new coaching staff. We don't know for

1:24:30.200 --> 1:24:33.200
<v Speaker 1>sure how that Houston running back committee is going to

1:24:33.280 --> 1:24:36.280
<v Speaker 1>end up working out mark Ingraham, Philip Lindsay, David Johnson.

1:24:36.520 --> 1:24:39.479
<v Speaker 1>Presumption is that that Johnson will get most of the work. Well,

1:24:39.560 --> 1:24:41.519
<v Speaker 1>Johnson is going to get all the pass catching work

1:24:41.560 --> 1:24:45.479
<v Speaker 1>because Philip Lindsay had seven catches last year, mark Ingram

1:24:45.560 --> 1:24:49.639
<v Speaker 1>had six catches last year. David Johnson's the past catching

1:24:50.120 --> 1:24:53.000
<v Speaker 1>running back on that roster and probably RB one. Yeah,

1:24:53.040 --> 1:24:56.240
<v Speaker 1>on on on PPR alone, David Johnson should go before

1:24:56.320 --> 1:24:58.680
<v Speaker 1>round twelve. Yeah, I like it. Scott. Who is your

1:24:58.680 --> 1:25:01.160
<v Speaker 1>sleeper this week? So I I'm going with guy that's

1:25:01.200 --> 1:25:03.840
<v Speaker 1>being drafted in the mid thirteenth and I feel like

1:25:03.960 --> 1:25:06.240
<v Speaker 1>it's it's weird were running these fantasy circles. So he

1:25:06.280 --> 1:25:08.040
<v Speaker 1>doesn't feel like a super sleeper, but to a lot

1:25:08.080 --> 1:25:10.839
<v Speaker 1>of people, he's still a sleeper. And it's Adam Troutman

1:25:11.160 --> 1:25:14.639
<v Speaker 1>tight end New Orleans Saints Jamis Winston. If he becomes

1:25:14.640 --> 1:25:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback, he like something like a quarter or a

1:25:18.120 --> 1:25:22.160
<v Speaker 1>third of his career touchdown passes there to tight ends. Yeah,

1:25:22.280 --> 1:25:24.760
<v Speaker 1>and and uh New Orleans over the last couple of

1:25:24.840 --> 1:25:27.360
<v Speaker 1>years have thrown over twenty touchdown passes to tight ends

1:25:27.680 --> 1:25:31.160
<v Speaker 1>at Pete Prisco of CBS mentioned to Jamie Eisenberg the

1:25:31.200 --> 1:25:33.599
<v Speaker 1>other day that all the passes in camp right now

1:25:33.600 --> 1:25:36.160
<v Speaker 1>are going to Kamara and Troutman. It's those two guys

1:25:36.240 --> 1:25:39.000
<v Speaker 1>just tons and tons of targets. With Michael Thomas out

1:25:39.040 --> 1:25:42.760
<v Speaker 1>for maybe a big portion of the season, Trautman could

1:25:42.760 --> 1:25:44.519
<v Speaker 1>be a target hog down there. And he's a tight

1:25:44.600 --> 1:25:46.320
<v Speaker 1>end you might get in the thirteenth round. So if

1:25:46.200 --> 1:25:48.519
<v Speaker 1>you don't get that top six, you can wait and

1:25:48.560 --> 1:25:51.160
<v Speaker 1>grab guys like him and a few others. Yeah, I like,

1:25:51.280 --> 1:25:53.439
<v Speaker 1>I like Troutman is my second tight end. You know.

1:25:53.479 --> 1:25:55.360
<v Speaker 1>If I slew Yeah, and I go, I go like

1:25:55.439 --> 1:25:58.000
<v Speaker 1>tight end eight or ninth round, and then I get Troutman.

1:25:58.880 --> 1:26:00.640
<v Speaker 1>They have too much of a hit street of the

1:26:00.760 --> 1:26:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Josh Hills and the cleaners, and they can't count on

1:26:03.960 --> 1:26:06.120
<v Speaker 1>there's too much of a history of that to be like, yes,

1:26:06.280 --> 1:26:08.120
<v Speaker 1>but he is in my He is in my top twelve,

1:26:08.320 --> 1:26:11.800
<v Speaker 1>and Troutman's ADP is moving up. Yeah, so that big time.

1:26:11.880 --> 1:26:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Right now, he's already und in underdoglass Troutman going upstream

1:26:16.840 --> 1:26:19.479
<v Speaker 1>with his ADP. I see what you did see, That's

1:26:19.479 --> 1:26:21.360
<v Speaker 1>why I picked him. Because of my last name. I

1:26:21.680 --> 1:26:26.799
<v Speaker 1>dropped him going to pick fish related sleepers for the preseason.

1:26:26.920 --> 1:26:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Fellow fishman. That's that's what it is for me. Not Frishman. No, No,

1:26:32.560 --> 1:26:36.240
<v Speaker 1>what was fred? No? What was his first name? Man?

1:26:36.560 --> 1:26:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, I don't remember. I don't either. My sleeper

1:26:41.720 --> 1:26:44.200
<v Speaker 1>is going off the board in the tenth round. Now,

1:26:44.240 --> 1:26:45.880
<v Speaker 1>listen to this guy. I'm gonna give you some stats

1:26:45.880 --> 1:26:48.280
<v Speaker 1>on this guy without revealing his name. Listen to listen

1:26:48.280 --> 1:26:50.040
<v Speaker 1>to this and put it against his tenth ROWND ADP.

1:26:50.640 --> 1:26:53.479
<v Speaker 1>He was ranked fifth among all running backs by Pro

1:26:53.600 --> 1:26:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Football Focus, fifth in what category is their overall rankings?

1:26:58.479 --> 1:27:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Overall running rankings, he was fifth Okay, keep going. I

1:27:03.840 --> 1:27:08.040
<v Speaker 1>have a counterpoint twenty seven spots ahead of the team's

1:27:08.120 --> 1:27:11.679
<v Speaker 1>number one runner by Pro Football Focus ranking. This mystery

1:27:11.840 --> 1:27:15.280
<v Speaker 1>running back I'm describing in the tenth round. In his

1:27:15.400 --> 1:27:20.599
<v Speaker 1>three seasons, he's never averaged less than five yards per

1:27:20.640 --> 1:27:24.320
<v Speaker 1>carry in any of his three seasons. His team just

1:27:24.520 --> 1:27:28.960
<v Speaker 1>resigned him to a multi year extension and released his

1:27:29.040 --> 1:27:32.680
<v Speaker 1>main competition for carries. Now I know who it is.

1:27:32.920 --> 1:27:36.479
<v Speaker 1>He got double digit carries from inside the five yard

1:27:36.560 --> 1:27:42.200
<v Speaker 1>line last year. His team runs the ball constantly, with

1:27:42.320 --> 1:27:46.200
<v Speaker 1>rushing play percentage ranks of number one, number one, and

1:27:46.280 --> 1:27:48.800
<v Speaker 1>number three. Of the last three years. His team has

1:27:48.840 --> 1:27:50.840
<v Speaker 1>run the ball two hundred times more than any other

1:27:50.880 --> 1:27:56.439
<v Speaker 1>team over the last three years. Last year, this mystery

1:27:56.479 --> 1:28:00.479
<v Speaker 1>player finished his running back twenty seven and he's currently

1:28:00.479 --> 1:28:03.519
<v Speaker 1>going off the board this year at running back forty

1:28:03.600 --> 1:28:06.719
<v Speaker 1>three for no reason whatsoever. And he drives a bus,

1:28:07.040 --> 1:28:09.840
<v Speaker 1>and he drives a bus, and his name is Gus

1:28:10.240 --> 1:28:15.760

<v Speaker 1>week gets cut. All the players go to the waiver
