WEBVTT - Operation! 0:00:01.440 --> 0:00:06.480 Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:12.080 source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. Hearty 0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:16.000 Hoe and Welcome back to another offseason edition of Fantasy 0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:20.000 Football Weekly with your host, nurse John mcaza and medical 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:30.280 specialist MD fantasy doctor Jake Tropo. What we're talking about today, 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:31.600 We've talking some injuries. 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:33.480 Jake, how are you? Hopefully you're well? 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:36.360 I mean, I'm great. I don't know when I got 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.639 this medical degree that we're touting. It must have been 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:43.160 while I was sleeping, perhaps, but I'm happy to try 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:45.680 to fake my way through it for this No, John, John, 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:47.600 I feel like more I'm a little bit more like 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:48.600 weather specialists. 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:48.880 Man. 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:52.000 We've been getting pummeled by storms here in Wisconsin for 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:54.920 like two months straight. I'm tired of it. I don't 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.000 know if I'm more tired of that though, or tired 0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:00.280 of the storm of bad injury news that we've been 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.400 getting on NFL players, you know what I mean. 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:05.120 I love the segue though. It's funny. 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:06.360 I thought I was going to be able to get 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.920 away from weather talk. You know, I do baseball work, 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:12.400 and this weather really affects games being played and how 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:16.840 the ball moves and everything, and I'm like crash coursing meteorology. Anyway, 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:21.480 our medical degrees come from the medical school of Upstair Hollywood, right, 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.559 the Upstairs Hollywood degree from doctor Dick Riviera High everybody, 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:27.120 all right, So that's. 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.840 Been most of the news. Of course, football season means. 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:33.800 Like hidden injuries, Drake, and they're coming in fast and furious. 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.400 I've always joked the best way to find the injuries 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.279 that we don't know about that we will know about 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.319 are on my roster ship page, and of course that's 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.559 been the case. Of course I've drafted guys we didn't 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.480 know we're hurt. First up would be mister Ali Pearce 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:47.400 wide receiver. 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:47.639 For the Colts. 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:49.960 We talked about him, and right they move away from Pittman, 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.800 they gave Alec Pierce the bag, and I assumed, even 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:58.080 with questionable quarterback return from Daniel Jones, Pierce would be 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:02.080 the focal point of the passing offense well. Coach Shane Steichen, 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.960 when asked about Pierce's offseason surgery, he opened up the 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.680 possibility from not to be ready for the start of camp, 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.400 said it could be a quote unquote a couple weeks 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.680 in Pierce, this is just today said there was no 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.200 definitive timetable and when to be back. He was given 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:21.200 a four to six month recovery time after the March surgery. 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.240 March is the third month, six months is nine? 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:25.160 Uh oh? 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:26.679 Like I said, we could be talking about a couple 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:30.400 of weeks plus ramp up time, possibility of a setback. 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.440 I don't like to invite injuries. The Alex Pierce sharfs 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.160 that I have are probably it. Let's look at the 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:39.160 other wide receivers really quick. Josh Down's ADP. Ninety five, 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:43.560 Nick Westbrook a Keene adp. Two sixteen. Are there any values? 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.200 Are you off the colts? Do you like the incoming 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:47.320 Pierce discount? 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.320 Right? I think that's also on the way. What do 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:49.799 you think, Jack? 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.560 Yeah, I guess there will be a discount with Pierce, 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:56.120 although I just can't imagine even taking advantage of that 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.320 because the discount is not going to get him to 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.560 where I think his proper value is. I think he 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.000 was so overinflated based on the contract and I just 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:05.919 thought he should have come down anyways. This is going 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.440 to get him further down, but not far enough for me. 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.120 I do think the price tag for Josh Downs obviously 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:14.000 goes up a ton, So it's gonna be interesting to 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.080 see how far I'm in it right now based on 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.960 where he is, because I think he was undervalued. But 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.240 I'm actually more curious to see what happens with Tyler 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:25.440 Warren out of anybody on this team. Westbrook A. Kine 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:29.320 is interesting because he does play a similar downfield, explosive 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.639 play type of guy, although a very low grade version 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.400 of it compared to Alec Pearce. But I thought Michael 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:39.520 Pittman's departure would actually help Warren more than anybody else 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:41.600 on this team, and I think he's maybe being a 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.320 bit overlooked in all of this, even though he's being 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.840 drafted very high. I could see an argument for him 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.040 like tight end four kind of seemed too high at 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.280 one point. Now I feel like maybe it's not even 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:53.800 high enough. 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:59.440 John Yeah, Warren I thought would thrive anyway. Any opening 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.240 is going to be a for him. I think he 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.240 really mentioned the key piece for me is Josh Downs. 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:05.040 Gosh. 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.320 I wish I knew if he was gonna play in 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.800 two wide receiver sets, and the thing that kills me 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:14.440 with some of these guys, maybe like a Jayden Reid also, Man, 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.839 why can't we get these guys into two wide out sets, 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.640 especially when there's an opening right that. I don't want 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.360 that to be a concern. I'm telling myself the story 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.640 that Downs is gonna be an every down player. Oh 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.520 see what he did there, at least to start the season. 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:30.520 I'm kind of staying away from a keen a, although 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:34.440 I think in reed draft, especially in kind of deeper formats, 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:36.880 there's probably been an opening for him. You mentioned the 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.520 archetypical fit there kind of downfield, and that's gonna be 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:44.880 open for Pierce. Even if Josh Downs is playing every down, Jake, 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.440 I doubt he's running go routes, right, That's not really 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.479 his thing. I don't think we want him doing that. 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.440 So yeah, I kind of stepped on the rake with Pierce, 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.279 and it wasn't really overpaying, but if I was heavy 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:59.160 running back up front, I did think he'd fit a role. 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.479 Now I'm gonna get off that. The next bit of 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.240 news was another guy who's drafting and I have the 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.200 receipts because we spoke about it. Was Chris Rodriguez over 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:11.000 in Jacksonville. Remember he spent five seasons at Kentucky and 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.279 his best season was with Leen Cohen, who was the 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.560 offensive coordinator at the time. Right, so there was I 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.120 don't know if it's a shower narrative, but something like that. Now, 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.839 according to team sources, the Jaguars Chris Rodriguez had a 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.920 procedure on his left foot ready in an injury early in 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.719 the off season program. He's expected to be ready for 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:32.600 the start of training camp in late July. I mean, 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.000 so the obvious question is where do you stand on 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.360 the Rodriguez and are you pushing up Basil. 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.359 Touton, who I felt was already. 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.840 Kind of expensive at thirty three maybe now right, if 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.279 you weren't worried about Rodriguez, that's where he should be 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.479 if he's moving up any more. Jake, I'm not going 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:53.200 any further that thirty three feels rich, maybe even fair, 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.479 but especially if Rodriguez returns and I still think he 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.280 could get the ends of work, that's a little bit 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.400 too expensive for me. Loo quent Out at EIGHTYB two sixteen, 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.640 what do you make of the Jaguars backfield situation. 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.240 I'm glad you brought up Bachel Tuton because is somebody 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.200 that I have been high on this offseason, even with 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.920 the addition of Chris Rodriguez, But it does feel like, boy, 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.520 he really took a balloon ride up in ADP, And yeah, 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.400 you make a good point. If he starts getting into 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.800 the I don't know beginning of the fifth round. Am 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.719 I comfortable doing that For Bachel Tuton, a guy that 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.960 I liked coming out of college but didn't exactly thrive 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.400 last year, I'd be scared of that. So yeah, I 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:34.960 don't think I'm gonna follow him up in ADP much. 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:40.640 With Chris Rodriguez, though, I always hate these ambiguous, undisclosed 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.880 injury types of things. I just have flashbacks to Joe 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:47.960 Mixon and his mysterious foot injury from last year, and 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.400 it was supposedly no big deal until it was, and 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.400 then it kept him out all season and it might 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.480 have ended his career. I'm not saying that's the exact 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.640 case with Rodriguez, mind you, but I am staying away 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:03.200 because I don't think he's worth the headaches. Like I 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.960 think he's a fairly low ceiling play, so I'm not 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.400 gonna go through all that unless the guy just has 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.520 massive upside, and I don't really see that with Rodriguez. 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:13.880 Yeah, I would agree. 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:15.960 Oh, let me do a quick correction. I was quoting 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.400 a minpick. The ADP is not far off as in 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.160 forty three. It wasn't thirty three, it's forty three. But 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.960 I've seen him go there now because people are immediately 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:29.880 overreacting to something, I think that initial price was already 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:32.239 discluding Rodriguez from. 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:32.800 The party here. 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.960 And yeah, I mean you make a great point being 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.840 weary of injuries, I very much am. I'm trying not 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:42.160 to invite them. I'm certainly not paying premiums for them. 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.880 It just was funny as I was getting into Twoton. 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.440 If I saw him in the fourth or even sometimes 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.000 early five, if I was early wide receivers, I'm thinking, Okay, 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.640 this is a guy who could explode a really good offense. 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.560 But now, yeah, I don't know. We know he's gonna 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:57.960 move up. 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.200 I have to decide if if I want any piece 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.840 of Rodriguez, is there anywhere that he could go chake again? 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.920 This is an offense we're expecting a lot from. But 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.120 there is Luquina Allen. I know I mentioned him twice. 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.400 I don't know who else is talking about him in June, 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.280 but he can be annoying. Sometimes it's that it's that 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.520 third thorn in the side, right or I guess the 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:22.160 second form. But either way, that extra, that third mouth 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:25.640 to feed can kind of kill everybody. Those are the 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:27.640 running back committees that I'm looking to. 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:28.120 Get off of. 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.800 I think my rostershipt for the Jaguars is gonna decline. 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:33.320 You pretty much signing off on that. 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.760 Yeah, John, it's like the band Poison said a long 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:40.120 time ago, every rose has three thorns. We know this. 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.080 They knew it to be true, We know it to 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.800 be true. I do think in the case of backfields 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.120 like this, where there is still a lot of ambiguity, 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.920 that's actually crazy. I didn't realize I misheard about Baseil Tuton. 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.280 I can't believe he's even going up higher than I thought. 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.480 So I'm all the way out on tooton now, which 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.120 is too bad. Lo quent to Ellen, Yeah, why not, right, 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.880 because there's so few running backs that have a legitimate 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.360 shot at this much of the pie going that late. 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.200 I think there's a couple of guys you could maybe 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.120 make an argument for around his area. But I'll take 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.240 some shots. Why not let me load up on wide 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.280 receivers towards the middle rounds and I'll scrape together some 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:17.760 more running backs than the late part. 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.360 Yeah, I guy like George Laani kind of comes to mind. 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.160 Also that look into Allen. Okay, we're talking very much endgame, 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.160 but if you're doing the best ball thing or the 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.640 roto thing right now, those guys are bodies, and they're 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.200 already kind of projectable. 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:31.640 Right. 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.840 It's not a lot of projectible volume, but it's some 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:39.920 projectible volume. And I think everyone is so eager to 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.640 draft these sixth and seventh round running backs that very 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:47.280 often are zeros and like a like a hard zero, 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.800 like they didn't see the field. They don't actually make 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.800 the team sometimes, where a guy like lucn Awen is 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:58.199 already shown that he can earn work in that offense. 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.280 And I think, you know, say the Rodriguez thing really 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.400 goes poorly. You mentioned mixing, so it's not out of 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.560 the realm where it was an ankle injury to worry. 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:08.199 He's fine, it'll be back week one, don't worry, be 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.280 back out. Thea's all week three, Week five, week seven, 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.520 he may never play again. More like what's going on here? 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:13.120 It's crazy? 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:13.959 How right? Oh? 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.640 That escalated quickly, but de things happen. That's why I 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:21.760 tryed to invite any injuries if they're going on right now. 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.079 If Rodriguez does continue to drop, then I and he 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.880 comes back and please, then yeah, I might scoop him 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:28.559 at the end game. 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:29.920 All right, Jake goes to. 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:34.559 A little lightning round doctor play I was gonna play 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:38.319 doctor or whatever. I already made that joke, so again. 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.000 The one thing I don't want to do is pretend 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.160 to be a Yeah, I don't want to pretend him whoo. 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.480 You know, I don't want to come off like I 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.400 understand much, if anything, about medicine. But I have been 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.200 playing fantasy for a long time. We have a list 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:57.079 of players that would could and should have fantasy impact, 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.839 but they had season ending injuries. So each one is 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.480 going to be different than the other one. I have 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:08.080 found I feel comfortable ignoring, not say ignoring, but I 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.520 don't want any part of the late season injuries, right 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:14.319 if they happened late the recovery time. I worry about setbacks. 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.559 We've already had a couple of those. So I'm gonna 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.480 just kind of put that out there. First Off, Patrick Mahomes, 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.760 he's getting a ton of love in the industry streets 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.400 right now. You know, ADP ninety is pretty much the 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.960 cheapest you've ever been able to get him. But he 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:33.559 got hurt week fifteen, that's mid December to A and LCL. 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:34.960 I mean the reports. 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.200 He's working out seven hours a day and he's ahead 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.880 of schedule. Not like he was running much. But the 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.760 running he did do was effective, meaning when Mahomes ran, 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:47.120 he made it to the marker, extended to drive, very efficient, 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:47.679 part of why his. 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:49.000 EPA stuff is so great. 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.280 I'm off Mahomes. I think they've telegraphed they don't really 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.000 want him running. Plus, I'm worried, I think, as I 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:59.480 should be when they brought in ken Walker. So I 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.679 think I'm out Mahomes at the price is way too 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.240 many quarterbacks all going at the same time. He's going 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.920 right next to Jackson Dirt. I'd rather have Dirt, who's 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.840 running and for all intensive purposes is healthy. 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:10.880 What do you think about. 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:15.600 Mahomes that's so interesting take. I think the exact opposite 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:17.400 approach on this player. I don't know that we've ever 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.720 been so divided on a player as Patrick Mahomes. We 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.920 should also mention very briefly, he just became the NFL's 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:27.240 first half a billion dollar player with that contract that 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.960 they gave him, so clearly they are comfortable with their investment. 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.000 And obviously we didn't expect this to be a long 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.880 term injury regardless. I remember Mahomes say that he's been 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:39.000 practicing with a brace on his left knee and something about, 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:40.960 you know, I wore a brace in college and it's 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.720 on the same knee and it's not too different. Obviously, 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.760 we want him to be unencumbered by the injury. For 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:49.120 what you said about his rushing ability, it's not like 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:52.400 he's Lamar Jackson and you're gonna get nine hundred rushing 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.480 yards out of him in a season. But even his 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:58.040 ability to scramble, extend plays, that sort of thing very 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:01.000 important for him. But you also said this is the 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.400 cheapest we've ever been able to get Patrick Mahomes, and 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.800 I feel like I've been saying this so much this offseason, 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.600 but I'm gonna keep saying it because Mahomes used to 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:15.600 be this locked in top five fantasy quarterback and then 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:20.760 his decline coincided perfectly with Eric Bienemy leaving as offensive 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:24.360 coordinator and Matt Naggy coming in. Matt Naggy will do 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.280 that to a quarterback. He will cause them to slide, 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:31.560 especially for fantasy purposes. But the enemy is back, and 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:33.880 maybe Mahomes isn't as hungry as he used to be 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.440 as a young buck out there now that he's got paid. 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.720 But I'm willing to be wrong and take him as 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:43.480 late as he's going, acknowledging that maybe I'll scoop up 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.360 a really late quarterback for those first couple weeks, so 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.959 I don't feel like I have to play Mahomes right away, 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.680 so we can kind of gauge it. But I'd rather 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.200 have him over Jackson Dart. Jackson Dart. The vibes are 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.760 bad with the Giants. He's injury I don't want to 0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:00.360 say injury prone, but he's certainly inviting injuries than the 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.360 average quarterback does. So I think I'm going Mahomes. 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.559 Yeah, I mean, listen, I could buy all that because 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:09.960 I'm in the farious cheapskate and he's cheap, so I 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.520 get it. If Mahomes was going up near those top 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.160 two or three qbs, then I'd be a hard out. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.520 I've just pivoted towards the more running quarterbacks. That's always 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.160 how I've built again, having best ball brain on right now, 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.360 my QB two or QB three. I want guys that 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:30.720 can run. In redraft, you may have me. I may 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:34.640 want Mahomes over a guy like Dart, who really feels 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.600 very erratic and for me kind of built for best ball, 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.280 where we want all the spike weeks. We don't want 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.520 any of the floor weeks. Best ball affords you that 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:46.280 luxury where in redraft you could see Mahomes just consistently 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.120 doing his thing. I'm looking last year. I don't even 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.760 realize how great he was. You know, from week was 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.600 it four through nine? He had five straight top five 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.120 QB weeks. So it's still in there. No one understands 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.000 a game better. I think I just worried that they 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.120 might be funneling it more through. But I'm not gonna 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.600 start taking shots at Patrick Mahomes again if he's cheap. 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.600 Next up, another quarterback. This is bow Knicks ADP. One 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.640 oh five. He got hurt even later. That happened right 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.800 unlike the second to last play or whatever that AFC 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.040 Divisional round game. He fractured his right angle ankle. He 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:19.640 had surgery with a follow up procedure in April. That's 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.480 the thing that kind of worries me. They're still saying 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:25.640 he's considered ahead of schedule and Week one looks likely. 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:31.440 I mean, you have to take him over starting quarterbacks 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.560 like Matthew Stafford is going right there, Jared Goff, even 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:38.520 Kyler Murray, Jordan Love, Tyler Shuck, all guys I'd probably 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.680 rather have than bow Knicks, who, again, we need him 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:43.080 to run. What is that going to be? 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:43.280 Like? 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.280 We haven't seen him do much of anything yet. What 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:47.360 do you think about bow Knicks? 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.920 Yeah, I think I get why he's going so much 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:54.040 later than Mahomes, because the injury happened later, and because 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.800 he needs his mobility much more than Patrick Mahomes to 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:01.880 be fantasy relevant. He's only played two years. In those years. Yeah, 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.360 he finished his QB seven, which is great back to 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.480 back years. That's amazing. He added Jalen Waddle to his arsenal. 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:10.280 That's all good stuff. But here's a fun fact, John, 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.560 I don't know if you know this. I didn't until today. 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:16.000 Bo Nix is one of only thirteen quarterbacks in NFL 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.840 history to throw the ball six hundred plus times in 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:24.760 a season without reaching four thousand passing yards. That's bad 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.200 rare air for a guy like him to be in 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.800 if he gets his mobility zapped away from him this year. 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:34.440 So yeah, I like Wattle helping him out, but it's 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.880 not gonna help him be a top ten QB if 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:38.840 he has to try to stand in the pocket or 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:43.040 if he's really encumbered. And I know Sean Payton said 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.640 he came out. There's not gonna be any hiccups. Once 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.880 training camp starts, you decide for yourself how much you 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.360 want to trust Shundon. I trust him about as far 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:56.240 as I can block him across the NFL field. And 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:59.120 you might not know this listeners, although you probably do 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.960 because my voice gives away. I'm a pretty slight guy. 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.560 So it's not gonna go far. So I'm out on 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:10.000 Bonix probably entirely, unless we get some crazy good, you know, 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.000 PR coverage coming up here in the next few months. 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.040 Trust him as far as you could push him off 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:15.440 the ball. 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:19.000 Right now, you are right about the QB price like 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.800 he is going much later than Mahomes. But it is 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.840 worth noting for anybody that maybe hasn't done fifty. Some 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:30.920 are drafts like I have. I have never seen such 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:36.320 consolidation for QB pricing. Josh Allen is an anomaly. He 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.560 goes way up top. Then you get Lamar and it's 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:41.800 been late for him. But Lamar in like the mid 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:46.439 to late fifties, and then come pick sixty five. It 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:52.240 just begins. I think I counted eighteen quarterbacks have a 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:55.520 ADP between sixty five and like one to oh five, 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:59.080 So in a forty pickspan, more than one out of 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.240 every three picks is a QB for like three or 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:04.320 four rounds in a row. So it just worth if 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.960 anybody is kind of doing some preseason work, maybe thinking 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:10.840 about doing basketball stuff, be ready. You have to really 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:14.280 choose between these guys. You really have to pick a pair, right, 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.480 You're picking a guy you like in the sixties and seventies, 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:18.560 then maybe one more that you like in that ninety 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:21.479 or one hundred range because the cover really empties out 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:22.040 very fast. 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:23.680 Worth noting. If you do get. 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.880 Caught waiting really late, you might want Daniel Jones our 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:30.640 next quarterback EDP one forty five. He also got hurt 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.119 in late in the season. That was December first week, 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:35.800 torn right achilles. Those can be really bad. We've also 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:40.000 seen that you know, sap running in power The next season, 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:45.320 he's doing seven on seven drills, which is encouraging, but 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.720 I'm not really sure I'm trusting anything I'm seeing from DJ. 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:55.000 Also worth noting the team's success was so directly correlated 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:56.600 to him. I didn't think I'd ever be saying that 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:57.919 about Daniel Jones. 0:18:57.960 --> 0:18:58.120 Right. 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:03.320 They were breaking all King differential records, all the EPA records, everything. 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:08.880 They were a wagon. And then he goes away and Jonathan. 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:11.680 Taylor, who was arcing for like greatest fantasy season ever, 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.320 like the smash pick you needed all of a sudden, 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:17.920 was costing people playoff matchups. So what do you think 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:21.520 about Daniel Jones? And then, more specifically, because he's going 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.160 late enough that we can make a cost argument, how 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:26.560 do you think it impacts the rest of the Colts. 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:27.880 That's what I'm really thinking about. 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:31.200 Yeah, I mean, we can't blame the Colts too much 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:35.480 when their reserve option was a guy who'd been coaching 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:37.960 high school football for like the last four seasons. Philip 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.960 Rivers comes off off the bench, off the bench, and 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:43.320 I was crazy from the distant pass to come and 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:46.040 try to save the season. So I'm not gonna really 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:48.399 hold it against any of the pass catchers on this 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:51.160
