Speaker 1: Deaglier to make some fantasy predictions for the season and

5
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: record a few hot takes. But first we have a

6
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: few important news items to talk about. Hi, Mike, thanks

7
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: for joining us. No problem, Bobby. It's Labor Day weekend

8
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: that means football is near Thursday. We get to see

9
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: real football action. We don't have to worry about what

10
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: backups are playing. You know, who's kneeling, who's sitting, none

11
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: of that stuff where It's fantasy football season and I

12
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: could not be happier for that. This is great. I'm

13
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: just so excited and I've been waiting for this episode

14
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: for a long time time because I love making the

15
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: predictions and I think you're a great got to have

16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: on for this episode, so I'm glad to have you.

17
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: But first, football fans found out some bad news this

18
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: week about Teddy Bridgewater. As you all know, I'll say,

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: though we also heard some great news. There's no nerve

20
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 1: or artery damage and will care all the injury expert

21
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 1: says trainers may have even saved his leg by acting quickly. Yeah,

22
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: that's that's huge. That's really huge. And I know it's

23
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: going to be tough for him to you know, bounce

24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: back to one hundred percent of the player that he

25
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: was before, but man, it was really I'll say this,

26
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: it was encouraging to be part of the community where

27
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: we all kind of it was a moment where like

28
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: everybody was in sync, you know, amongst all this arguing

29
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: and whatnot about everything that's going on, but it was

30
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: a moment where everybody just felt bad for Teddy Bridgewater,

31
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: the football not just a football player, but the guy.

32
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: And you know, even me, I said, you know, we

33
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: could all take a moment and just not talk about

34
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: fantasy football and just worry about the health of this guy.

35
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, I was so happy when I heard that.

36
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: You know, it seems like he's going to have a

37
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: full recovery and that I mean, he may not be

38
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: a hundred percent mobile wise, but it seems like he's

39
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: gonna be okay, which is fantastic. And I saw that

40
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: you guys at for a Football Focus had him graded

41
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: as the top quarterback at the time he got hurt.

42
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: Was he on the verge of a breakout. You know what,

43
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if he could have been on the

44
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: verge of a breakout just yet, just because you know,

45
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: they're going to run the ball a ton with Adrian Peterson.

46
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: This is probably Peterson's last year there in Minnesota. And

47
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, while we like Jeric McKinnon I think he

48
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: fits with Teddy Bridgewater a bit more than Adrian Peterson does.

49
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: They'll run more out of you know, a shotgun than

50
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: the traditional ie formation. Their defense is up and coming.

51
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: There's rumors that they're going to trade for someone. Maybe

52
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: it may trade try and trade for like a veteran

53
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: quarterback like a Josh McCown, just because they feel like

54
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: their defense is in a good position right now. And

55
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: you know, I like Teddy Bridgewater his long term, you know, prospects.

56
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: I own him in a couple dynasty leagues because I

57
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: do believe in the kid. But I don't think he

58
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: was in the verge of a breakout this year. But

59
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: he's even last year, he was better than people gave

60
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: him credit for. He just doesn't throw the ball a lot,

61
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: which is why fantasy football players never take a liking

62
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: to a guy like Teddy Bridgewater. Yeah, I mean, they

63
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: have Sean Hill in there for a reason. And I

64
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: was talking to Sean Hill one time when he was

65
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: here in Saint Louis. You never if you look at

66
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: this guy, you never would think he's a professional quarterback.

67
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what he wants, because he was telling

68
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: me he loves me in the backup. He doesn't ever

69
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: want to start, but he keeps going everywhere where people

70
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: get hurt Jeff Garcia and then it was Sam Bradford

71
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: and now Teddy Bridgewater. So Sean Hill is getting thrown

72
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: into it and he doesn't even want to. It's hilarious

73
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: to me. That's crazy to hear that he doesn't even

74
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: want to be the starter. I hadn't even heard that,

75
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: but yeah, great gig. Yeah, no, it's definitely a great gig.

76
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: You get paid a deece the amount of money. You

77
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: kind of just sit back there, hold the clipboard, help

78
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: the young, you know, the young quarterback, let them know

79
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: what's going on and stop in the game if you

80
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: need to. I think he can do it. I think

81
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: he can lead them to not lead them to the playoffs,

82
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: but be a part of a playoff team. I want

83
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: to be surprised if they pick up Mark Sanchez. I

84
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: think he's probably gonna be dropped by the Broncos. But

85
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: two guys, I'm really intrigued by Ryan Griffin if he

86
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: doesn't make the team in Tampa, is a nice little prospect.

87
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: And then Austin Davis, who's had some good games in

88
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: Saint Louis, and then the one in Cleveland. I'm really

89
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: intrigued by Austin Davis, and I want to be surprised

90
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: if they pick him up and he takes over around

91
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: Week five or six. That's not a bad projection. I like,

92
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if Minnesota, I don't. It's really you're

93
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: going to kind of see how they feel about this

94
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,559
Speaker 1: team and whether or not they feel like it's built

95
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: to win like this season. Because apparently Cleveland wants a

96
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: high draft pick for Josh McCown, which is the reason

97
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: he's probably still in Cleveland right now, because I mean,

98
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: you don't give up a draft pick for a guy

99
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: that old. But if you're looking for a championship this year,

100
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: they may go out and try and convince the Browns

101
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: to work with them in a trade. I know that

102
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: JP's a Vikings fans, I'm gonna ask you JP really quick,

103
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: what do you think about all this? Well, I grew

104
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: up watching the Vikings bring in backup quarterbacks like Brad Johnson,

105
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham. I'm pretty sure was putting up

106
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: drywall before they brought him in, so I'm not I

107
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: don't know with the Vikings. You're you're not surprised when

108
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: something bad happens. It's happened to me so many times

109
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: over the years, so it's really unfortunate. Did I hear

110
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: that there was talk or maybe the possibility of if

111
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: the injury was too bad, they'd have to amputate It's right, yeah, yeah.

112
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: If it basically got down to her, it was like

113
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: an artery or a nerve issue that he could have

114
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: lost his leg, but fortunately that didn't happen. My wife,

115
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: she's a nurse, so I asked her basically, when all

116
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: this went down, I wanted to know kind of what

117
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: it meant and what happened, and so she was trying

118
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: to explain it to me. You know, after what she

119
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: told me, basically, she's like, you know, his thigh was

120
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: disconnected from where his knee was, so basically it could

121
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: have been bent any which way he tore. She thinks

122
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: he tore at least three ligaments, if not all four

123
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: of them. So that's why it's like an entire knee reconstruction.

124
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: And it's possible that he doesn't return as the same player.

125
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: But you know, modern medicine is a crazy thing. These

126
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: guys have the best doctors in the world. So you know,

127
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: if anybody's going to bounce back from this, it's it's

128
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: going to be an NFL player. And he's a really

129
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: positive guy. Is like he and what he said to

130
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: his teammates, and he released he released a statement, and

131
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm I like Mike Zimmer. I think he's going to

132
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,679
Speaker 1: rally the troops and I'm still optimistic for the season.

133
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,679
Speaker 1: I'm a bit bummed, but I think they'll be fine.

134
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure Mike Zimmer is really busy right now, but

135
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: I really hope that he's listening, because Mike, I have

136
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: a plan for you. Jerrick McKinnon was a college quarterback.

137
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: Just put him in there and run the option with

138
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: McKinnon and Peterson. Jerick McKinnon the quarterback man. He's a

139
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: guy that I can't wait to see next year. I

140
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: think I think you're looking at a situation where Jeric

141
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: McKinnon is going to be a top a top forty

142
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: eight pick in fantasy leagues next year. Do you think

143
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: Peterson's gonna be gone? Then I do. I do. I

144
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: think that they're moving on. I think that they well,

145
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: I mean with the future of Bridgewater. As long as

146
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: Bridgewater bounces back, I think that they're going to move

147
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: towards Bridgewater McKinnon, that's going to be their backfield for

148
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: a long time. And then but the way the receiver

149
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: positions setting up with digs and treadwell, and you know,

150
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: you look further down the depth chart. But they have

151
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: a year. They have a promising young team and like

152
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: I said, their defense is built to win now they're

153
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: doing They've done the right things in that team. It

154
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: was just a really unfortunate injury. And you know, if

155
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: Sean Hill can step in and you know, be that

156
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: that stop gap for now, they can still compete until

157
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: they figure out what they're doing. You know, if they're

158
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: going to do a trade, they may wait till later

159
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: in the year. The Browns aren't going to win anything

160
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: this year. We know that, Like they're not going to

161
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They're doing there and they're on the right path,

162
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: but they may change their twote on Josh mccount as

163
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: the year goes on, and if the Vikings are doing well,

164
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: they they may debate as the year goes on investing

165
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: in something like that. Yeah, it's really kind of sad.

166
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: The Vikings went from a true Super Bowl contender as

167
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: far as I was concerned, to maybe they'll make the playoffs.

168
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: A quarterback makes that much of a different day, really does.

169
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: And it's a bummer. Another bummer, not nearly as big

170
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: as that. Bruce Ellenton is going to be out for

171
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: the season. He was one of my favorite guys. I

172
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: was getting him in almost every league, and I guess

173
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly knew what he was doing when he went

174
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: out and acquired Jeremy Curley. I see, you can end

175
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: up starting opposite of Tory Smith. I don't know. I

176
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna be starting opposite Smith. I think

177
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: he'll be in on three wide receiver sets. I think

178
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: you're looking at Tory Smith and Quentin Patton as the

179
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: two starting wide receivers and two wide receiver sets. It's

180
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: apparent that they're going to use tight ends quite a bit.

181
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: And you know that's no change from what Chip Kelly

182
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: did in Philadelphia, targeting the tight ends a whole lot.

183
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: So you gotta love Vans McDonald and to an extent,

184
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: Garrett Selleck could be a player who surprises a lot

185
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: of people. You know, when they traded for Curly, I

186
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: actually wondered, you know, if there was something bigger wrong

187
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: with Ellington. And I know he was hurt after the fact,

188
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: but it's just like, you know, I was worried about

189
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: Bruce Ellington from an injury standpoint. I had talked about

190
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: it this offseason before because I wrote an article for

191
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: PFF talking about, you know, forty nine ers, are they

192
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: a landmine or they a gold mine for fantasy? And

193
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: I felt like that they were a gold mine. Bruce

194
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: Ellington was a great sleeper pick. Now he started moving

195
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: up to the point where I couldn't even draft him.

196
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: But I worried about his size for someone taking the

197
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: hits over the middle of the field, because if if

198
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: you watched the Eagles over the last couple of years,

199
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: you saw Jordan Matthews take some massive shots, uh, you know,

200
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: playing out of the slot, and Bruce Ellington was was

201
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: gonna take those hits, and now it's Jeremy Curley. So

202
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: if there's one player that you know, I have obviously

203
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: been a big fanatory Smith, and I'm not going to

204
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: back off that. I don't think I can at this point.

205
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 1: But Quentin Patton might be someone that we're kind of

206
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: undervaluing in fantasy. It's kind of like a late round

207
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: guy that you could plug in when if you need someone,

208
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, to plug into your flex when you have

209
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: buy week issues. Quintin Patton might be a guy that

210
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: actually provides you some value. Now, what do you think

211
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: about the forty nine ers just bringing back a trio

212
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: of Randy Moss, Terrell Owens and Calvin Johnson? Could they

213
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: do that? If they can talk Calvin Johnson into playing again,

214
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: I'd be all over that. But man, we got cheated

215
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: with Calvin Johnson. I say that over and over because

216
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, he was he was something to watch and

217
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: being ambarrass then. You know, even though he was on

218
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: a rival team, I loved watching that guy play football.

219
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: And you know, for those that talk about, you know,

220
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: whether or not Calvin Johnson is a Hall of Famer,

221
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: I think that's a no brainer. I think He's a

222
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: first ballot Hall of Famer, And I think the reason

223
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: I say that is because you can't talk about the

224
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: last ten years of football without mentioning Calvin Johnson. You're

225
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: exactly right, you know, if you look at what he

226
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: was doing and at the same stage in Jerry Rice's career,

227
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: they're virtually the same player. I understand it's a different stage.

228
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: You know, it's a passing game today, but Calvin Johnson

229
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: could have been the second best wide receiver ever if

230
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: he would have just stuck with it. I agree. I

231
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: agree with that. He was so dominant. He was so dominant,

232
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: you know, good for him. He chose, he chose his

233
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 1: body over everything. And you know, me being almost thirty

234
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: four years old, I'm not old by any means, but

235
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: your body starts just acting differently and you have to

236
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: kind of respond to it. So I can't even imagine

237
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: what foot football players feel like, you know, when they

238
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,119
Speaker 1: wake up on a Monday morning. And you know, I've

239
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: listened to Arian Foster talk about that where he's like,

240
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, it hurst to take fifteen steps to go

241
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: to the bathroom. So you know, Calvin Johnson chose the

242
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: route for him that he felt was better for his family,

243
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: So you know, kudos to him. It just stinks because

244
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: I felt like we were cheated to witness him, and

245
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: you know he was still extremely, extremely good. Yeah, yep,

246
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: you're exactly right, Mike. Let's move on over to some

247
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: projections and this is gonna be a lot of fun. Yeah.

248
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: I want to talk about some specific numbers, some milestones.

249
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: One thousand yard rushers last year, there were seven of them.

250
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: Who do you think is going to do with this season? Well,

251
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, I know that's a number that's been trending

252
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: down as the years have gone on, and eventually it's

253
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: going to get to a point where it's like, okay,

254
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: are we undervaluing these guys now? And it may take

255
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: a reverse trend. Everything almost always seems to come back.

256
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: But you know, I went through my projections because I'm

257
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: a huge projections guy, and in order for rushing yards

258
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: and how I have them kind of played out this

259
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: year for those who are will hit a thousand yards.

260
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: My top seven Todd Gurley and you know him and

261
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: Adrian Peter SNAr two guys where if you know they're

262
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 1: playing sixteen games, you know they're topping at thousand yards.

263
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: That's just like a no brainer. Outside of those two,

264
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: I have Lamar Miller, who should see you know, he

265
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: should be teetering up towards two hundred carries, so he's

266
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: almost a lock for that as well. Ezekiel Elliott, Carlos Hide,

267
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: David Johnson, and then Lashawn McCoy interesting m Yeah, Carlos Hide.

268
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: I have him on my list too because Chip Kelly's

269
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: going to run a fast paced offense. We know that obviously,

270
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: this requires someone who's gonna have a full bill health

271
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: and that's hard to come by a as a running

272
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: back in the NFL. And bear in mind, only one

273
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: of the top ten rushers last season was drafted in

274
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: the first five rounds, so I know that, like we

275
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: can predict most of the top players, and that's probably

276
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: the safest way to go. But realistically, many of those

277
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: guys are going to get hurt. If they missed one

278
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: or two games, it's probably not going to happen. If

279
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: they have any kind of time share or anything like that,

280
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: they're not going to be in it. So here's my

281
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: names take them. Bearing that in mind, Ezekiel Elliott, Eddie Lacy,

282
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide, Ryan Matthews. If he doesn't get a concussion.

283
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews is as efficient as anybody in the NFL,

284
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: well besides Jamal Charles, but he's that's that's another story.

285
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewart and Kristin Michael. And the reason I say

286
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: Kristin Michael is because it looks like he's still the

287
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: number one guy there in Seattle, right there, ahead of

288
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: Thomas Rawls, and he's getting all those first team snaps.

289
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: If he goes out there Week one, he's not giving

290
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: the job back. He's look that good in the preseason,

291
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: He's not given the job back. And in that offense,

292
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: whoever's the full time guy is going to get a

293
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: thousand yards. Well, I actually agree with you that the

294
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: full time guy should get a thousand yards. And so

295
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: I so looking at my projections, I do have more

296
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: than seven players over a thousand rushing yards, but we

297
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: just know that injuries happen and these sudden some guys

298
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: aren't going to do it. You know, Rawls is one

299
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: of those players I have right just over a thousand yards.

300
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: But you know, I think that's the reason Thomas Rawls

301
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: played last night is because I think that he wanted

302
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: to get out there and show Pete Carroll like he's

303
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: ready for game action, and you know he only he

304
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: only carried the ball a couple of times. But christ

305
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: Michael has done so much through this preseason that it's

306
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: impossible not to take notice. And he's someone where if

307
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: you grab Rawls, you're fortunate enough to have the cheapest

308
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: handcuff possible. Like, you know, I know Kristin Michael. He's

309
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: been vaulting up the ADP boards, but he's still pretty

310
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: cheap to just to handcuff. There's some people saying that

311
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: they believe Seattle is going to go to a time share.

312
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't really see that. I think that coaches have

313
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: a certain philosophy, and I think that the reason they

314
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: drafted three running backs is because they wanted to be prepared.

315
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: You know, last year when Marshawn Lynch was hurt and

316
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: then Thomas Rawls went down, they had nothing. You know,

317
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: they had to go grab Kristin Michael off the Redskins. Actually,

318
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: people forget about that. He went on the Redskins practice

319
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: practice team and so you know, the Redskins could use

320
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: him right about now. But I think it was just

321
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: more of like getting their depth charts solidified. So I

322
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: think Thomas Rawls is still the guy unless there's something

323
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: that he misses out on. Unless you know, he just

324
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: the ankle doesn't hold up. He's not the same player.

325
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: But as of right now, all signs say that he

326
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: looks to be pretty good. So I mean, yeah, Kristen Michael,

327
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: But some other players I have teetering right there in

328
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: that thousand yard Mark Lacey was one of them. I

329
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: think Leveon Bell, even though he's always he's suspended for

330
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: the three games, I think that he's a guy who

331
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: could still top a thousand yards just because he's a

332
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: volume monster. It's rare to see a running back in

333
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: the NFL get as much work as he does when

334
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: he's in the game. But Leveon Bell, I want to say,

335
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: it's each year in the league, he averages over twenty

336
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: two touches per game. So can you get that type

337
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: of volume? Three games is a small price to pay. Yeah,

338
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: and the Steelers have been running a lot of nohaddle

339
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: offense in the preseason, so they're gonna do some exciting

340
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: things there. I actually saw a stat and I could

341
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: not believe this. There were only two pastors in the

342
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: NFL last season. Who averaged over three hundred yards per game.

343
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: Drew Brees was one of them. Big Ben actually led

344
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: the league in passing yards per game last year. Oh yeah,

345
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: I believe it. I believe it too, just because you

346
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: know Ben Roethlisberger. He's been a different player with Marte

347
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: Bright in the lineup. And it's funny some of the

348
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: things we're going to talk about in a little bit

349
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: here about projections. I'm not as high on Ben Roethlisberger

350
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: as a lot of people are. I know that he's

351
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: the consensus number five or number six quarterback. I have

352
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: him down at number eight or nine, and I think, honestly,

353
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: I think that's high because if you look at his

354
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: splits throughout his career with Martavis Bryant, he averages over

355
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty passing yards per game, and then

356
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: if you look at his career without Bryant, he's around

357
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty yards per game. Not just that,

358
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: but he averages a half touchdown less per game. So

359
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: when you start looking at all these things, you look

360
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: at D'Angelo Williams, the type of running back he is.

361
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: You look at Ben Roethlisberger. You know his home and

362
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: road splits which have been flat out brutal through the

363
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: last three years. If you haven't looked at that, look

364
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: at Ben Roethlisberger on the road, and he's just been

365
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: an awful quarterback. Last year, I want to say, he

366
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: didn't even average a touchdown a game on the road,

367
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: and he had you know, I think it was one

368
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: and a half interceptions per game. So Roethlisberger, I'm not

369
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: a real big fan, but it was Martenos Bryant did

370
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: a lot for that offense. So when you take him away,

371
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: you take away Heath Miller his safety blanket, you take

372
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: away Levy on Bell for three games. There's a whole

373
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: lot of bad there for Ben Roethlisberger. And on top

374
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: of that, he's not going to be consistent on a

375
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: week to a week basis. So there's plenty of quarterbacks.

376
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: I think you could take over him. But yeah, no,

377
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: he definitely led the league in passing last year. That's

378
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: great stuff, Mike, I didn't know that. I had no idea.

379
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: I'm I've been avoiding him anyway, but now I'm definitely

380
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: avoiding him on him. Yeah, No, it's good to hear that.

381
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people out there that were drafting

382
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: him over Drew Brees. And then I wrote an article

383
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: about that month and they, yeah, they changed their tune

384
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: after reading that because I said that Ben Roethlisberger's ceiling

385
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: is Drew Brees' floor, like, and that's just that's a

386
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: fact Matt Ryan has. Actually, he's been in the league

387
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: for eight years. Do you know that Matt Ryan has

388
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: topped Ben Roethlisberger from a fantasy standpoint in five of

389
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: those eight years? And a lot of people will say that,

390
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: you know, it has to do with injuries. And while

391
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: injuries have that, that's part of what we have to

392
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: do when we project players, we have to take in

393
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: consideration there, you know, when they're on the field. And

394
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, I think he's only played sixteen games in

395
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: three of his seasons, so um, yeah, he's He's just

396
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: someone that's not really consistent. Speaking of quarterbacks, six of

397
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: them had between thirty four and thirty six passing touchdowns

398
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: last season and that was at the top of the league.

399
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: Does anyone separate themselves this year and leap up to

400
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: forty plus. I think Aaron Rodgers is someone we've seen

401
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: that we've seen his ability to do it before you know,

402
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: he threw forty five of them back in the it

403
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: was I think five years ago now, but limited attempts

404
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: are what has capped his ceiling. I've I've gone on

405
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: a record to say that I think Aaron Rodgers is

406
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: the best quarterback that I've ever seen play the game.

407
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: And you know, if he stays relatively healthy throughout the

408
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: rest of his career, he'll go down as the best

409
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: of all all time. And the reason that fantasy football

410
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: players may think, oh he's no, he's really good, but

411
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: I don't think he's the best of all time, it's

412
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: because his attempts they're always down. He has topped five

413
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty two attempts just once in his career,

414
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: and that was last year. But when you look at

415
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: it this year, their defense it has They haven't really

416
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: made major adjustments in their defense to where it's gotten better.

417
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: So I think their defenses should be just bad enough

418
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: to help Rogers reach that you know, five hundred and

419
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: seventy five attempt mark, and if that happens, he should

420
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: be right around that forty forty two touchdown mark. The

421
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: only other two quarterbacks I would probably put in that

422
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: conversation are Andrew Luck. He's thrown for sixty three touchdowns

423
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: in his last twenty seven games, which is two point

424
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 1: three three per game. That extrapolates to that extra plates

425
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: to about thirty eight touchdowns in a sixteen game schedule.

426
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: And that's the thing that's including Andrew Luck last year,

427
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: who didn't look himself. We don't know how long the

428
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: injuries were bothering him. You know, the defense is still awful.

429
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: They're going to be missing Vante Davis for the first

430
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: month of the season. T Hilton's in the prime of

431
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: his career. Dante Moncrief is entering his third year in

432
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: the league, which is when you know wide receivers typically

433
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: turn that corner Luck could throw for. He could be

434
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: another guy that could throw for forty five of them.

435
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: And then Drew Brees. They rebuilt, they rebuilt that team

436
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: around him. They kind of reloaded the weapons so Breese

437
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: could get in that conversation as well. I have one

438
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: guy doing it and it's Drew Brees. Listen to this.

439
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: Over the last five seasons, he averages fifty one hundred

440
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: and twenty seven yards thirty eight touchdowns in six hundred

441
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: and fifty two pass attempts. Yep, he's pretty good. He's

442
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: pretty good football. He is very very good, and that's

443
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: why I'm taking him as my number two quarterback. I

444
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: get it, Kim Newton and Russell Martin are going to

445
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: run the ball quite a bit, but Drew Brees is

446
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: as reliable as they come. He's always in the top

447
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: five and fantasy quarterbacks. He's probably going to be number

448
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: one or number two. And this season, I think that

449
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: touchdown rate goes back up to where it tends to

450
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: sit with all those all those pieces that they have.

451
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas has added to the offense. Brandon Cooks at

452
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: the end of the last season was excellent. He's going

453
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: to keep getting better. I really like what they have

454
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: going on down there. Kobe fell cleaner, and again, their

455
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: defense is horrible. It's way worse than the Packers defense.

456
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't be surprised if Drew Brees throws the

457
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: ball seven hundred times this year. You shouldn't be surprised either, No,

458
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: that this is a defense. This is a defense that

459
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: they gave up forty five passing touchdowns last year. That

460
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: was a record. That was a record, like it wasn't

461
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: even close, Like the next highest team gave up thirty

462
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: six touchdowns, so you're talking about like a twenty five

463
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: percent increase. So it's it's it's not even close. So

464
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: when you're when you have a quarterback plan against them,

465
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: just like you know Derek Carr's plan at New Orleans

466
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: in Week one, that's going to be a shootout. I

467
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,239
Speaker 1: think it's got a fifty one over under and it's

468
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: going to live up to every single part of that. So, Yeah,

469
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, I like that call. Drew Brees is just

470
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: a He's about as safe as they come. And then

471
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: let's move over to wide receivers. Last season, seven players

472
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: had over one hundred receptions. How many you are gonna

473
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: get it this year? And who are they going to be? Well,

474
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: if we there's probably there's gonna be more. But this

475
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: if I were to say seven that I were to

476
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: say almost a lock. For that, you obviously have to

477
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: say Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, and Beckham. Those are the

478
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: ones that I considered locks, like those are stone cold

479
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: like you. When they're on the field, there's studs and

480
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: there's nothing anybody's gonna do about it. Yeah, AJ Green

481
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: is just outside that tier. I have him hitting that number.

482
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry appears too likely to hit that number again,

483
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: just because you know, DeVante Parker hasn't taken the leap

484
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: in Adam Gase's offense like we thought he would. I

485
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: don't know he's he's not even running with the starters

486
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: right now. So DeVante Parker is He's been a little

487
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: disappointment this off in this offseason, But so Jarvis Landry.

488
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: Mike Evans. Actually, the only thing that could limit Mike

489
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: Evans from hitting that is his average depth of target

490
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: is over sixteen yards down field, So it's a little

491
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: tough to hit that number when you have a high

492
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: A dot. But but his target chair is going to

493
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: be monstrous. Like, Mike Evans could flirt with one hundred

494
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: and sixty targets this year and it wouldn't surprise me

495
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: at all. So he's won. And then my last one

496
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 1: would probably be Keenan Allen. Yeah, yeah, he had definitely

497
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. I wouldn't be surprised if he leads the

498
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: league in receptions. He was on pace for one hundred

499
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: and thirty four before he got hurt last season. I

500
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: understand the Chargers had a horrible offensive line and so

501
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: they were just passing a time. Melvin Gordon wasn't doing anything.

502
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be a little different this year. But

503
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen is a target hog. You mentioned Mike Evans.

504
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean, who did they have on their offense besides him?

505
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: They've got the two tight ends who are all right,

506
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: there's question marks about him, and then Vincent Jackson, who's

507
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: really should be a wide receiver three on any team,

508
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: and then nothing else. Yeah, Adam Humphries. They just cut

509
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: Kenny Bell, so they they don't have much options. And honestly,

510
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise anybody if Austin Sperry and Jenkins got cut.

511
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: Even though I like his talent, the guy just he

512
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: has some issues mentally and he was yelling at the

513
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: coaches on the sideline in the four preseason game. He

514
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: was playing in the fourth quarter of that game, which

515
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: is never a good sign. But yeah, Mike Evans, Like

516
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: the more I keep looking at that situation, the more

517
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: I want a part of him. And it really you're

518
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: in a tough spot with Mike Evans because he's a

519
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: guy where if you if you have an early pick,

520
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: like let's say you have a pick in the top five.

521
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: He doesn't warrant a top five pick, but then you're

522
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: not going to get him when he comes back around

523
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: to you in the second round. So you're kind of like, uh,

524
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: you're you almost have to be in the second half

525
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: of the draft to draft Mike Evans from a smart standpoint,

526
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: because you're not going to take him over a guy

527
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: like AJ Green, you know what I mean. He's got

528
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: huge touchdown upside too. He really does. The guys that

529
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: I have that you didn't mention, Brandon Marshall. He always

530
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: gets a kind of a kind of targets and I

531
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: think it's going to continue this season. He's got that

532
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,959
Speaker 1: contest going on with Antonio Brown for their cars, and

533
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: I believe in Brandon Marshall. This year. You mentioned AJ Green,

534
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 1: same deal. All those targets are gone. A lot of

535
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: them are going to go to AJ Green and then

536
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: Alshan Jeffrey, who has we know when he's on the field,

537
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: he gets a ton of targets. The game script there

538
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: and in Chicago is huge. They're going to be passing

539
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: the ball at Ton and then they've got No One

540
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: after Kevin White, so all Sean Jeffrey and then Brandon

541
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: Cooks just because Drew Brees is gonna throw the ball

542
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: so much. Well, the one st that I could throw

543
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: out there about about the worry about for Brandon Cooks.

544
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: For me, the reason I've told people that I just

545
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: don't know if he has the upside that people think

546
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: is just because under Sean Payton, there's been no wide

547
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: receiver since two thousand and nine who has seen more

548
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: than one hundred and twenty six targets. So, and that's

549
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: happened three times. Brandon Cooks has gotten one hundred and

550
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: twenty six. Marcus Colston hit that number twice. So I mean,

551
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: even if you say, you know, we'll give a slight

552
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: bump and we'll say, you know, one hundred and thirty

553
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: five hundred and forty, it's tough to hit that one

554
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: hundred reception like total without seeing you know, big targets.

555
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: So I think it's possible. It's just I have a

556
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: little concerns about the upside because Sean Payton's offense works

557
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: so well, there's really no reason to screw with it. Mike,

558
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 1: let's jump over to some hot takes, really good, and

559
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start us off. I already talked about alshon Jeffrey,

560
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: I say he's going to lead the NFL in both

561
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: receptions and yards. When he was on the field, he

562
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: was so efficient. Kick Cutler is going to continue to

563
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: throw the ball to him at con and if he

564
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: can stay healthy, if he can, you know, keep those

565
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: Hamdi's healthy. Wells are you going to throw the ball

566
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: to Kevin? Why? I like him? But that's it, that's

567
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: all did they have. Yeah, he's more of a future

568
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: player any if anything, you know, they had him out

569
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: there in the week four the preseason because they said

570
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: he needed some more time on the field. So as

571
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: much as you know, we like Kevin White and dynasty leagues,

572
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: he's still a work in progress. And this is essentially

573
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: his rookie year, so he's the number two receiver on

574
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: a team. So honestly, I don't think that's a crazy take, um,

575
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, but it is a hot take, don't get

576
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: me wrong, because there's some guys that I would definitely

577
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: be taken over Jeffrey. But he's an excellent target, you know,

578
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: if you're sitting there late in the second round. I

579
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: actually did a twelve team PPR draft two nights ago

580
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: where I got alshon Jeffrey I had the number three

581
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: pick I took. I took Beckham at three, and then

582
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: I was able to snag Jeffrey at you know, in

583
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: the second round pick ten, which was just crazy that

584
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: he fell that far. So I like that take all right,

585
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Mike? All right? So

586
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: I got three prepared. One would be that Kobe Fleiner

587
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: scores more Fantasy points than Jordan Reid. You know, we

588
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: talked about the Saints and how they spread the ball around,

589
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: but since Sean Payton took over the team in two

590
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: thousand and eight, the tight end position there has averaged

591
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty nine targets. And I believe me.

592
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: I talked to people and they're like, well, Jimmy Graham

593
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: will skew that number. Yes, he definitely does. But even

594
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: if you remove Jimmy Graham, we're talking about one hundred

595
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: and thirty six targets per year. So unless you think

596
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: that Josh Hill is all of a sudden going to

597
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,959
Speaker 1: change the type of player he is that got passed

598
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: by Ben Watson last year, Michael huaman o Wau, you know,

599
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: he does something, but you know, we're looking at at

600
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: least one hundred targets for Kobe Fleiner and getting those

601
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: targets from Drew Brees is you're in for a monster season.

602
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: I have my own concerns about Jordan Reid number two.

603
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: That Tyron Taylor finishes as the QB six above Ben Roethlisberger,

604
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer and you know all those others he was.

605
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: The most people don't know is that he was the

606
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: number six quarterback last year on a points per game basis,

607
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: and he played banged up for a few games. If

608
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: you don't remember, he's suffering some lower body injuries. He

609
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: wasn't even on the same page with Sammy Watkins until

610
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: the second half of the season. And when you kind

611
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: of take a look at Sammy Watkins second half of

612
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: the season, and even if you say two thirds of

613
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: that happens in twenty sixteen, Tyrod Taylor may finish better

614
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 1: than number six. You know, with his legs losing Carlos Williams,

615
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: that's going to free up some more rushing touchdown upside

616
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: for Tyrod Taylor. So love him a lot. Yeah, to

617
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: finish top six. And then my last one is that

618
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: Dante Moncree finishes as a top ten wide receiver I

619
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: tell people that you know, in the first two rounds

620
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: of your fantasy drafts, that's where you want to play

621
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: it safe. You want guys with a high floor that

622
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: you know can perform. And then once you get to

623
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: the third or fourth round, that's when you want to

624
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: take guys that you believe will be ti you know,

625
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: top twelve, top fifteen picks. Next year, I have mon

626
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: Creef labeled as like this guy that can break out.

627
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: There's so many similarities between him and Alan Robinson last year.

628
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: That's great. We talked about Luck about how he has

629
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: he wasn't great last year. Well, in the games that

630
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: he did play, Moncrief was the number two wide receiver

631
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: in fantasy and Moncrief is, like I said, it's he

632
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: It's a year three wide receiver. He's only getting better.

633
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: The targets have freed up. Andre Johnson's gone, you know,

634
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: Philip Dorset it's almost essentially his rookie year with how

635
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: much he missed last year. And Dante Moncrief's the only

636
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: red zone threat outside of Dwayne Allen on that team.

637
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: So you know, you look at all of these things

638
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: and if Andrew Luck's gonna throw for forty touchdowns. Moncrief's

639
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: gonna catch a lot of them. How how are you

640
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: taking Moncrief. I've taken Moncrief as high as the late

641
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: third round. Wow. Now the thing is, I got a

642
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: ton of Dante Moncrief and MFL tens and in earlier

643
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: drafts that I did. But the hype is starting to

644
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: get out of control, like where people are now taking

645
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: him where it It's like, man, I was willing to

646
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: take him there before because he was a player. I

647
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: was more than okay, reaching like a round or two,

648
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: because he was actually being taken as like the number

649
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: thirty wide receiver just as early as about a month ago.

650
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: But now his ADP, I'm gonna look at it real

651
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: quick just because I it okay, So it's showing is

652
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: the wide receiver twenty one on Fantasy Football Calculator. He's

653
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: being taken in the middle of the fourth round. I've

654
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: taken him I think at three ten before. But yeah,

655
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: I think the breakout is there. But the problem is

656
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: is once you start getting into that, like if you

657
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: start taking him like earlier than that, you're kind of

658
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: taking away all the equity you're hoping to get the pick.

659
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: I've got two more hot takes for It's real quick.

660
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: First one is that Sam Bradford's going to hang onto

661
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles job the entire season and it'd be a

662
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: top ten fantasy quarterback. I don't, well, that's that's a

663
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: hot take, a very serious hot take. But if you

664
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: look at the film last year, he was a lot

665
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,719
Speaker 1: better than people give him credit for. He's looked real

666
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: good so far this preseason, and I just think that

667
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: the Eagles are going to put up a lot more points.

668
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: Their defense isn't that great. They've got a few nice

669
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: pieces on their defense, don't get me wrong, but Sam Bradford.

670
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen quarterbacks really break out later in

671
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: their career, like Carson Palmer, Kurt Warner came back and

672
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: broke out again after he was really struggling. And I

673
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: think Sam Bradford, we've been talking about it forever. He's

674
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: definitely got the tools, and I think Sam Bradford's gonna

675
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,719
Speaker 1: do it now. Top ten might be really pushing it,

676
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: but ever once in a while, this kind of thing happens,

677
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: and if anyone's gonna do it, it's gonna be Sam Bradford.

678
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: You know, you know, I don't really hate that because

679
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: like if anybody in my friends know, I talked about

680
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford for a long time, and they've given me

681
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: crap for it since I can remember, because they're like,

682
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: remember when you said Sam Bradford was going to be good,

683
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: And you know, it's funny because pff, we actually graded

684
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: him as a top twelve quarterback last year, despite you know,

685
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: the you know, the belief out there that he was awful.

686
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,719
Speaker 1: He really wasn't the biggest problem. There were a lot

687
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: of tip balls, drop balls, you know that led to interceptions.

688
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: But I mean, I worry about the offense. It's going

689
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: to be a low volume offense. The wide receivers. You know,

690
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: we haven't seen anything of Jordan Matthews this offseason playing

691
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: on the outside. I did want to see him. I

692
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: believe he'll be fine, But Nelson Agilore has looked like

693
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: a disaster. And then you look at you know, Doyle

694
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: Greenbeckham is now the number three there, it seems. So

695
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: the weapons are a little bit worrisome for me. And

696
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: the thing is, it's like the Jay Cutler syndrome with

697
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford, where I don't believe these guys ever developed

698
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: into the prototypical franchise quarterbacks because they never had consistency.

699
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,959
Speaker 1: If you look at the career of each of these guys,

700
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: they both have great pedigree. I believe they both could

701
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: have been great quarterbacks had they had consistency. You look

702
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: at the top quarterbacks in the league, you know that

703
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 1: have these offensive coordinators or these head coaches for a

704
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: long time. They get into a rhythm, they learn the offense,

705
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: they perfect it. Jay Cutler and Sam Bradford have never

706
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: had the same offensive coordinator for three years straight. So

707
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: you do that, it really messes with them. And you know,

708
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: part of that's on them because maybe they didn't perform.

709
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: But I think it's just too short of a leash

710
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: when you're talking about a quarterback and like developing him.

711
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: Cutler had it with Adam Gase, like they worked well together,

712
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: and now he's gone. So you're gonna see Jay Cutler

713
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: regress again, and you know, Bears fans will be calling

714
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: for his head. But in actuality, it's tough to perfect

715
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: an offense every single year. And then finally Carlos Hide

716
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: is going to get three hundred and fifty carries. No

717
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,959
Speaker 1: one else is even gonna get over three hundred oh

718
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: week out. Yeah, I mean, I love Carlos Hide, so

719
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: you're not gonna hear me argue with you on that one. Now.

720
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't projected for two hundred and seventy

721
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: five carries, which is still near the league lead. But

722
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,959
Speaker 1: I love Carlos Hide. I don't like their backups at

723
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: all in San Francisco, and I think Chip Kelly is

724
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: just going to run them to death. Carlos Hide's a

725
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: bowling ball. I mean, he can stay healthy. I don't

726
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: see why they don't keep feeding him the rock because

727
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: Blaine Gabbert, is he going to be the quarterback? Colin Kaepermick,

728
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: You're not going to pass the ball? And I understand

729
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: Fatisco is going to be behind in a lot of games,

730
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: but really, I think their only weapon on offense is

731
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide, and I think Chip Kelly's gonna feed him

732
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: a ton. Yeah. No, I mean I love Carlos Hide

733
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: this year more than people tell me I should. I

734
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: have him as a top think top twelve running back.

735
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: So I mean I like Hide. Game script is a

736
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: little bit of a concern, but I think Carlos Hide

737
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,280
Speaker 1: can catch passes out of the backfield. He just hasn't

738
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: been asked to at this point. So he did well

739
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: in college out of the shotgun, which is what Kelly

740
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: typically runs. So I like Carlos hide as well. So

741
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: you won't you won't hear me argue with you, all right?

742
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: Two final questions, Mike, who's your fantasy MVP this season? Well,

743
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: it's a loaded question because it could there's a lot

744
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 1: of variants where you talk about worry he's drafted and whatnot.

745
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: But if we're talking about just straight out fantasy MVP,

746
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: like you know, like DeVonta Freeman was last year, it's

747
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: Julio Jones. For me, it's very possible, and I know

748
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: this is a bold statement, but it's very possible that

749
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: we are still underrating Julio Jones as a wide receiver.

750
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: I think it's scary that we may not have seen

751
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: his ceiling. You know, he is the career leader in

752
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: yards per game and it's not even close. His ninety

753
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: five point four yards per game is first, and next

754
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 1: up is Calvin Johnson at eighty six yards per game.

755
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: That's a ten percent difference, Like that is a massive difference,

756
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: and you know, considering how bad Matt Ryan kind of was,

757
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: last year, in the first year of the Kyle Shanahan offense.

758
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: It's pretty spectacular to see Julio Jones hanging with Antonio

759
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 1: Brown at the top of the wide receiver charts. So

760
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: if Matt Matt Ryan steps up and throws for even

761
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: if it's thirty touchdowns this season, which is possible, Julio

762
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: Jones can set records like he is that good of

763
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: a receiver. I think he's the best receiver in the game.

764
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 1: And like I said, we've seen him catch ten touchdowns

765
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: before that was in his second year in the league.

766
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: If he puts it all together, Julio Jones, he's a monster.

767
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: I'm right with you. I'm taking Julio Jones number one overall.

768
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen this, guys who are listening, look up.

769
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: Just google Julio Jones warm up catch, just to see

770
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: what kind of creature Julio Jones is. He's amazing and

771
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn says that if he was in the Olympics,

772
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: if he trained for the Olympics, that he would have

773
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: finished as a top five runner in the one hundred

774
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: yard dash. He thinks he's that fast. When he ran

775
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: the forty in the combine, he was. You know, he

776
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: was beat up, his legs weren't in good shape. He's

777
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: really really fast. I'm not sure there's anyone quicker in

778
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: the game. No, no, he's He's a size speed freak.

779
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: And honestly, like I said, if Matt Ryan takes a

780
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: step forward, it's going to be something magical. It's funny.

781
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: I had a conversation on Twitter earlier today that we

782
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: announced that I'm having We found out that the child

783
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: on the way as a boy, and I wanted to

784
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: name it Julio, but my wife she turned me down

785
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: on that one. Mike, that's fantastic man. Congratulations and thank you.

786
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. My fantasy MVP this year is Ezekiel

787
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: Elliott and the reason why is because he's behind that

788
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: offensive line in Dallas. So he's also looked very, very

789
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: good in the preseason. I mean substantially better than Alfred Morris,

790
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: who we already know can rush for fifteen hundred yards

791
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: if he gets in the right system, and Ezekiel Elliot's better.

792
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: I really just think that he is in the best

793
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: situation being in that Dallas offense, and especially now that

794
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: Tony Romo's gone, they're gonna be running the ball more

795
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: so I got Ezekiel Elliot. It's my number one running

796
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: back and the fantasy MVP. Well yeah, I mean he

797
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: landed in the right spot. I mean just because it

798
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: was a bad pick by the Cowboys. From a football standpoint,

799
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: it's it's a fantastic like play for fantasy football. Ezekiel Elliott,

800
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: He's he's a fantastic pick. You know, he's got a

801
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: high floor. If he stays healthy, then he's he's well

802
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: worth his first round pick status. Yeah, that's what it

803
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: comes down to do. If he stays healthy. If he doesn't,

804
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris is going to be an incredible pickup. All right. Finally,

805
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: Fantasy breakout player of the year. All right, So this one,

806
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: is there any qualifiers? Do you want me to go

807
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: outside of any certain round or is it just like

808
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: a guy that has been outside the top twenty Like

809
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm just this one was outside the top one high. Okay,

810
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: So if we're going outside the top one hundred, there's

811
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: a couple of guys I've been ending up with Spencer

812
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: were and Jeric McKinnon on tons of my rosters because

813
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: I believe both of those guys have massive upside I

814
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: also think Jamis Winston is a guy that you can

815
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: see breakout. I think he's a dark horse to lead

816
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: the NFL in passing attempts this year, which is part

817
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: of the reason I like Mike Evans so much. But

818
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: if we're picking one, I'm gonna go with Devin Funcius.

819
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say now. I don't like

820
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: what I've seen so far out of Calvin Benjamin. You know,

821
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 1: Cam Newton needs these big targets to throw to. Calvin

822
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: Benjamin has a conditioning issue. He wasn't even great. He

823
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 1: was the only option to throw two in twenty fourteen.

824
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: And Devin Funcius what he showed me in the preseason.

825
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: He's a hands catcher, and that's what I love in

826
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: my big wide receivers because he'll be a big threat

827
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: in the red zone. So it's just a matter of

828
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: time before Devin Funchis finds his way into two wide

829
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: receiver sets and he overtakes Calvin Benjaman is that number

830
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: one wide receiver. Mike. I'm so glad we're not in

831
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 1: a fantasy lead together, because you would take every player

832
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: that I like. We like them all the same people.

833
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: That's good. That's good. It doesn't make for a very

834
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: good podcast though, because everyone's like, man, these guys just

835
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: agree on everything. Well, I hope we turn out to

836
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: be right for what it's worth. I'm scrambling right now

837
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: to try to find someone else that I think he's

838
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: going to be a big breakout, and the only guy

839
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: that's coming up to me is James White. James White's

840
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: another player that I really like. And you know, who

841
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 1: knows what's gonna happen in that Patriots backfield. But we

842
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: all know how efficient he was last year. At least

843
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this show, you know how efficient

844
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: he's been. He's gonna get a lot of passes out

845
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: of the backfield, and I think he's gonna end up

846
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: getting quite a few carries too, And especially if Blount

847
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: goes down at any point, James White is going to

848
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: be in RB one. I think so, at least because

849
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: they're just gonna use him a ton. What do you

850
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: think about that one, Mike? Do you finally disagree with me? Well?

851
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: I would disagree on the carry part. There was not

852
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: a single game last year where he carried the ball

853
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: more than three times, So I don't think they view

854
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 1: James White as a running back. But I can tell

855
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: you this in week eleven through six team, which is,

856
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: you know, when James White was took over for Dion

857
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: Lewis and he was the guy in that role, he

858
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: finished as a top twenty four PPR running back in

859
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: five of those six weeks. So you know, there's definitely

860
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: reasons to like James White. I like James White more

861
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: than some people. The problem is is, you know, once

862
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: Week seven comes around and Dan Lewis returns, we don't

863
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: know his role in the offense, but you know as

864
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: a stop gap player, like you know, I've I've grabbed

865
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 1: him late in drafts because some people are like, oh,

866
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 1: he sucks. I don't know where that notion comes from,

867
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 1: because he was actually more efficient on a per touch

868
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: basis last year than Dion Lewis was. So it's kind

869
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: of nuts. But that but here's the thing, it's the Patriots.

870
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: They screw with us all the time. That's the only

871
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: problem I have with James White is just because I

872
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: really just don't think that the Patriots go by what

873
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: everybody thinks they should do. They just kind of go

874
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: out and left field. So it's tough to trust any

875
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,919
Speaker 1: running back out of New England. But you know, James

876
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: White appears to have a solidified role in that offense. Though, well,

877
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: let it be known Devin Funches was my pick, but

878
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: Mike stolen. All right, Mike, Well that's all the questions

879
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: we have for you this time. I really appreciate you

880
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,719

881
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: of fun talking to you. No, as always, man, I

882

00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: works like sidekicking and digging and saying trouble
