Yeah, we've been we've been rotating around fairly 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:39.000 well this summer, I think. Yeah. Actually, I mean Brian, 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.519 Brian had all of last summer. He did, he was 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.360 a Warrior last year. But we've been we've been kind 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:47.840 of doing a good job of rotating it. Yeah, for sure. 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:52.200 For sure, we're going to break down the key things 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:53.560 you need to know about every team in the a 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:56.440 f C West today. Yes, and we hext. We did 0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:59.280 all of the We've done all all the other divisions, 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.080 and you can find those on previous episodes of Fantasy 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.080 Football Weekly, and we encourage you to go back and 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.920 delve into the archives of Fantasy Football Weekly. So we'll 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:11.720 hit Raiders, Charges Broncos Chiefs, and you know, break down 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.200 the the offseason moves, the things you need to know. 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:16.920 Just some of the refresher stuff is we're starting to 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:20.760 get into the draft season and really, I've said this 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:24.320 now for two straight weeks, really optimistic by the time 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.759 you hear the skillotine leagues dot Com will be I've been. 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.760 I've just been refreshing it over and over. Control of five, 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.000 control of five, and a bore people with all the 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:39.480 little details. But yeah, it hasn't just trying to get 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:44.320 all the just sharpening the blade. Yeah, that's right with that. 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.800 All right, let's start with you if you don't mind Raiders, 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:48.920 How does you want to start with Raiders? Okay, let's 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.680 start with the Raiders, a team that I think everybody 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:56.120 feels like is on an uptick right now based on 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.440 is there any team in the a f C West 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.920 that doesn't feel like they're on kind of an uptick? 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.880 I mean, Kansas City can't be on the uptick since 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.000 they've been they've been up there so long and they 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:09.960 lost Tyreek kill. Um. So we'll start with Derek carr Uh. 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.839 He seems very secure in his position, so much so 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.840 that he said Colin Kaepernick would fit really well in Vegas. 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.520 I mean, if Cars given that endorsement, that's kind of cool. Um. 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:21.680 He had the best passing year of his eight year 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.680 career last season, just over forty hundred yards, but only 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:29.960 twenty three touchdowns Through seventeen games. His a DP has 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.160 shot up to QB fourteen, which is about as high 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:36.280 as it's ever been, just behind Aaron Rodgers on the list. 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.800 It is as high as it's ever been, no doubt 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.480 about it. But you know, you look at that lacking 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.680 passing score total and if you want to emulate what 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:48.520 Aaron Rodgers does, you go get Aaron Rodgers favorite receiver. 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.320 And they traded for Davante Adams, who is the wide 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.840 receiver who's had the most receiving scorers in the league 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.200 over the last handful of years, twenty nine in the 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:02.079 last two years alone. Uh five different double digit receiving 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.960 touchdown campaigns in his career. Oh, by the way, he 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.040 was cars teammate at Fresno State. Both entered the league 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:13.360 in both were second round picks. But Derek Carr's just 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:17.080 not Aaron Rodgers. And this is Davante Adams entering his 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:20.919 age thirties season so despite this shotguns since City Wedding, 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.480 I'd scale back my expectations on Adams just a little bit. 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.600 He's an Alpha, but there's a couple other players there 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.080 who really need the ball, and they're good enough that 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.440 he's got the best supporting cast around him. As far 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.360 as other options, including Hunter Renfrow, who they liked enough 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.520 to resign to a brand new deal this week, Yeah, 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:39.640 let's go to him. He was kind of thought going 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:44.160 into last Seaons maybe the third, fourth, fifth option in Vegas, 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:47.880 and he really took over that team starting in training camp, 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.800 held Brian Edwards off the field, was really better than 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.280 Henry Ruggs when he was still a part of the team, 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.600 and out of the eighteen games last year including the playoffs, 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.320 Renfro had six or more catches in eleven and he 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.280 scored an eight different games. So he was very consistent. 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:07.040 I mean kind of like the the poor Man's Cooper Cup. Really, 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:12.880 Renfro was a third tier fantasy asset prior to the 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.280 second half of last year when everybody else went down 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.760 and that offense had to funnel through him. And so 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.960 the question in my mind is healthy Darren Waller Adams 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.719 Now there what do you know where does that leave 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:29.880 Hunter Renfro in the pecking order when Derek car goes back. 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.760 I mean, is he is he number three of three here? 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.520 Or is he the guy who developed such a rapport 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.280 with David Carr over the last year that he's still 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.440 number one in David Carr's eyes? Could be? Could be 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:45.200 a little bit of both, um, I mean Renfro and Adams? 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.240 What a what a tandem? Adams has never had as 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:48.840 good of a wide receiver on the other side since 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:52.440 Jordy Nelson. Did they play together? Yeah, like in his 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:56.560 first cup? Okay, I mean Adams Adams then there was 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.240 a ball dropping fool back in those days. So I 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.720 mean and then you he's never Adams has never had 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.560 a tight end as good as Darren Waller, who was 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:07.240 injured for most one. Even when he did play, he 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:11.160 was kind of a shell of his Those were two 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:17.720 yards seasons. He also scored nine times in Yep, that's it. 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:25.400 I should have warned. All we need is a piece 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:29.320 of tape and abe maker I need. I need to 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.360 do this. I'll just talk the rest of the time. 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.880 Go get the label maker. Don't tap me if you're 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:41.080 worrying In the background. That's the label maker snip. All right, 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.520 Waller seemed like the only option in nineteen and twenty 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.760 though from getting the label maker. You keep talking, are you? 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.839 This is this is great podcasting here. Um, he might 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.200 be the third fiddle in this offense. And he's sure 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.680 a top five tight end on draft day. Really has 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.279 the potential to finish in the top three if a 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.880 few touchdowns break right for him. Here comes charged back 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.000 into the room with the label maker. I'm so impressed, 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:11.159 but I'm gonna move on to Josh Jacobs. He just 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.600 had his fifth year option declined by the Raiders. He's 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.279 in a contract here, it's likely his last year in 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.280 Las Vegas. And I haven't even mentioned yet that he's 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:22.640 got a new head coach in Josh McDaniels, who fell 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:26.240 out of the Bill Belichick tree, which means Shenanigans could 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:29.360 be afoot with the running backs. Kenyan Drake is back 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:33.839 in Las Vegas. Brandon Bolden came over with McDaniels, and 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.359 Bolden was used a lot in the passing game in 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.880 New England last year. Amir Abdullah is still there. I 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.840 heard the snip. There was the snip of that. That's right. 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.960 That was the snip of my label maker, got right here, 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:52.720 nine nine x UM. The Raiders also drafted Zamir White 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.680 in the fourth round and Brittain Brown a little bit later. 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.120 Zamir White could be a factor in Las Vegas this year. 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.679 Jacobs was already coming off his lowest touch total season 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.160 in his three year career. So there's not a lot 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.920 of confidence here in Jacobs wouldn't surprise me at all 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.640 if he was held under the two touch mark this year, 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:14.640 with Drake Bolden and Zamir White all factoring into the city. 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:16.240 Now I agree with all that, but let me throw 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:20.640 this out, okay throwing Is there any chance that, especially 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.560 with Sam the draft pick is a mere White, they 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.800 already know that they are likely to move on from 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:30.080 him and they just use Josh Jacobs up. Yeah, they could. 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:34.160 They could definitely do that. But just knowing how McDaniels 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.120 operated the offense in New England last year, you had 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.960 Damien Harris for some games, you had Romandre Stevenson for 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:43.680 some games, really a factor in the passing game. He 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.960 had like forty eight catches last year unbeknownst to most. 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:50.120 So UM, I just think that it's probably a three 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.080 headed monster here. At the minimum I think it is, 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:57.720 I'm not touching Josh Jacobs in uh, other than he's 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.960 a real do the opposite guy this year, right, I mean, 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:01.760 you know you're gonna be able to get Josh Jacobs 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.880 in the fifth, sixth round and at that point he 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:05.560 starts to make a little more sound. I believe his 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.000 a DP is in the sixth Right now, that's all 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.680 I got for theaters if you want to YEA, let's 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:15.000 talk Chargers right now. Uh, the beginning with Justin Herbert, 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:18.680 the air Bear, the air Bear. Oh why didn't I 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.280 wear my air Bear T shirt? Available Chuck Fantasy dot com. 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.120 He Justin Herbert. You know, I knew he had a 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.360 good season, but you kind of forget all the details. 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.160 Sometimes he went back and dug back in pretty much 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.360 in any scoring system. He ended up being the second 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:37.240 highest scoring fantasy quarterback last year, aided by five thousand 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:41.240 passing yards and thirty eight passing touchdowns. Helps a lot. 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:45.240 But here's the one thing you may not realize. Herbert's 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:49.360 a sneaky, reliable rushing threat. Last year he ran for 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:52.960 three hundred yards and three touchdowns. Uh, A very mobile 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.400 Kyler Murray as a comparable, ran four only one hundred 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.719 more yards and two more rushing touchdowns, And we think 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.520 of Murray as being high Lee mobile. You on had 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.480 a hundred more yards and two more rushing touchdowns, and 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.640 two years ago Herbert ran for the same five touchdowns 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.640 I'm talking about. So uh and Herbert was six and 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:12.120 rushing attempts last year. So the mobility really, it's just 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.040 it's like the cherry on top of the Justin Herbert 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.640 Sunday that you get when you invest a high draft 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.960 pick in him. Let's go to the running game. Austin 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:28.320 Ekeler current ADP is second overall. I know that's um, yeah, 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.959 in the league obviously the league player. He was touted 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:34.880 by you and I Matt for a long time. No, 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:41.280 that's a sad trump bone. Where's the peacock? Where it is? Labelmaker? 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:50.960 Should I label it massy or cock? P cock? The 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:55.439 letter p cock? Um? So you and I have we 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.240 were we were Austin Ekeler believers for a couple of 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:03.280 years and it really took until this coaching administration to 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:07.160 let him be a full time player. But how much 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.800 weight do you put into the draft acquisition of idea 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.680 Isaiah Spiller, because I'm nervous about it. He is a 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.640 talented back who could easily siphon off enough carries to 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.440 make it almost impossible for Eckler to make good on 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.480 that to a DP. It's just the ADP is so high, 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.200 and I love the guy, but he has to have 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:31.360 another workhorse year and he's only ever had one of those. Yeah, 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:33.200 And I think it was the last time I was 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.079 on the show, I was talking a little bit about 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.680 Spiller and how I was a little nervous about Ekeler, 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.640 and you were even surprised that I was like, maybe 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:45.280 it's time to jump off the Eckler bandwagon then, rather 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.480 than a year two late at his ADP, there's I 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:49.640 think there's some concern for that. Still love him as 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:53.240 a player and everything. And remember one other thing. Ovin's coordinator, 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:57.760 Joe Lombardi has always used shared back fields in New Orleans, right, 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:01.480 and you know he has no last year was a 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:05.240 was the off was the weird workhorse year for Ekeler, 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.400 the weird workhorse year for Joe Lombardi. They didn't have 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:10.640 anybody else that was it. I don't think that anybody 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.600 else they wanted to get the ball. Larry Roundtree. They 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.240 you know, Justin Jackson is not even in the NFL 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:20.560 right now, So roll all that together. I'm nervous about Ekeler. 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.120 Let's talk about Spiller for a minute. Most services had 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.880 Spiller rated as a third round talent. He ended up 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.920 going fourth round um and it was the third uh 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:30.840 it Most had him as the third running back up 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:32.400 the board. I think he went like fourth or fifth 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:35.000 running back up the board. Very good all purpose back, 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:40.040 creates his own yards, patient runner, punishing, punishing for opposing tacklers. 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.800 And he's got good hands and that's very important for 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:46.040 a Joe Lombardi offense. Very productive at Texas A and 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.560 M So there's a lot to like about Spiller, and 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.959 I do believe he will end up being a uh. 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.720 He'll be more of a factor this year than any 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.960 one other running back was in the Chargers offense. I 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:01.720 agree with that. Let's talk Mike william Uh. Just last episode, 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.800 I discussed his downside in great details, so I'm not 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:05.480 gonna spend a lot more time on it. But Matt, 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:07.320 I will just tell you, although I know you listened 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.040 to last week's I am nervous about any player who 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.040 puts up by far their best season in their contract year, 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.800 and that's what he just did. ADP is expensive right 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.480 now for Mike Williams, so I'm I have some hesitation 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.920 on him. Keenan Allen no real changes here. At least 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.000 a hundred thirty six targets in five straight years, which 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:30.320 is amazing. The model of consistency at the wide receiver, 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:33.040 it really is. It really is. If you have Keenan 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.600 Allen as your second wide receiver on your fantasy team, 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.360 I'm showing you a great fantasy team. You really are 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.520 and just ideal for Guillotine League US because he just 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.160 doesn't give you dud games. Get this, Over the last 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:50.360 three years, Keenan Allen has had three total dud games 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.440 where he failed to hit four catches or fifty receiving 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:57.200 yards for three years. All the rest of them have 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:01.000 been at least the four catches and over fifty yards. 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:06.920 It's it's amazing consistent, Pop. You just avoided the dud game. Uh. 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:10.920 Josh Palmer's fascinating. I hadn't realized how much he stepped 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:12.600 up at the end of the season, and I believe 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:14.600 he will walk into the number three receiving role in 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.719 an offense in which your quarterback just through for five 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:20.320 thousand yards. Right, there's there's yardage to go around. I 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.080 loved a sleeper Josh Palmer. Here. Get this before and 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:27.559 after December twelfth. The game on December twelve, for Josh Palmer, 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:32.199 his snaps went from eighteen per game to forty eight 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.800 per game. That's a tripling. His targets went from two 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.760 per game to six per game. That's a tripling. His 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:48.080 yards went from fourteen to thirty seven. His touchdowns went 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:52.520 from one touchdown before December twelve to three touchdowns after 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:56.840 December twelve. It's it's triple Palmer. It is Fantasy points 0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:01.200 per game went from two to seven. That's more than triple. 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:03.800 It is a little bit more than triple Josh Palmer. 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:06.720 If that if those last five games that we saw 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:09.120 at the end of the year, or any indication of 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.679 what's coming this year, Josh Palmer is going to be 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:17.040 a sneaky draft pick. I would like to extrapolate all 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.640 those and makes him like wide receiver, and I'm not 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.240 ready to quite do that, not on seven fantasy points 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.920 per game. But I think it showed where a young 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.520 receiver had earned the trust of the coaching staff, and 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.000 he rolls into a much bigger role this year tight end. 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.000 I'm not gonna spend a lot of time on Gerald 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.280 Everett and Donald Parham, but I'm only gonna mention this. 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:36.960 Evert's on his third team in three years. He doesn't 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.000 interest me at all. He's just a guy. Parham, however, 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.840 is very interesting. Is a last pick of the draft 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.800 dart throw. He's entering his pivotal third year. Is a 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:50.680 tight end, gigantic. He's six ft eight, two hundred forty pounds, 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:54.920 and he's fast, athletic, has just one drop in two years. 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.640 His season last year got cut short on a on 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:01.280 a big time SUPERSTI ay hit, Yeah, the souper you 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.400 remember it so but part him. I think it is 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:07.480 a fascinating dart throw tight end, and I'd keep an 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.520 eye on Donald parm offensive line game first rounder Zion 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:15.200 Johnson for the Chargers. Let's take a break, Matt. When 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:32.720 we come back, let's talk through Broncos and Chiefs Segment 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.480 number two Fantasy Football Weekly, breaking down the teams of 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.840 the a f C West, and we now pivot to 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:45.000 the Denver Broncos home of Denver, home of Mary's Mountain Cookies, 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.600 which I could not recommend more highly. You had me 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:52.040 at cookies. I'm in Where when are we going? Uh, 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.400 they'll ship road trip, Yeah, they'll ship him. I've got 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:58.080 some of my freezer. I shipped them here after I 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.400 was in Fort Collins in Colorado Springs and found in 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:05.040 this place because they're sprinkled throughout the Greater Colorado area. Uh, 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.200 And I'm like, um, these are amazing. So then I 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.320 came home and I shipped had them ship a dozen 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.640 to me, and I ate a bunch of them when 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:13.520 they got here, and then I froze the rest. How 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:18.000 do they compare to the Crumble cookies? Crumble is straight 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:21.960 garbage compared to these. I knew you'd have a strong opinion. 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:26.520 Crumble cookies are so sweet you can't eat them. By 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.880 the way, awful, my teeth are. My teeth hurt with 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.120 every chocolate chip cookie is really good. Though I'm not 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.440 a big fan of all their crazy flavors and stuff. 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.680 Their chocolate chip is solid. But I heard you. I 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.960 heard you in fish talking last week about five guys, 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:46.680 and you were bashing five guys. Five guys isn't about 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.200 the fries. Five guys is about the burger and that 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.560 they only have three things on the menu and fries 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:53.960 is one of them. You better do it well, you know. 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.360 And I disagree on the fries too. I think when 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.960 they get them right and they're nice and crispy, they're not, 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:03.200 but they're so oh you gotta get him on him. 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:06.240 Oh they're they're they're delightful, and the burger is not 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.439 that great. Dan Ver Broncos, I have I have reason 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.640 to believe Russell Wilson is your new starting quarterback. Yeah. 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.080 I can't talk about that without talking about the offseason 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:19.600 trade that landed them dangerous Wilson. You get to pair 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:24.120 him with a new head coach and play caller, Nathaniel Hackett, 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.040 who comes over from Green Bay. By the way, all 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:30.520 my intel and on Hackett, he's really good, yeah, really good. Well. 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:34.359 He brought in offensive coordinator Pat Shermer as well, who, uh, 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:37.080 we've seen have some some good success in the past, 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:39.280 not great success as a head coach, but as an 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:44.760 offensive coordinator he's been above average. So they're guiding the offense, 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.680 which kind of feels like it's a totally different outlook 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.600 for Wilson. Getting out of the Seattle mode where Pete 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.040 Carroll wants to run the ball. But I looked back 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:59.400 on it, um, all of the Wilson, Hackett and Shermer 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:04.360 offense is in the last three years. We're all between 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:08.440 fifty four and fifty seven passing right in the middle 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.960 of the pack. So fundamentally, it doesn't look like there's 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.800 going to be some major shift. Russell Wilson's not going 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.760 to pass a heck of a lot more um, But 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:21.840 that doesn't mean that people aren't drafting these wide receivers 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:25.600 like really high. And I'm gonna start with Jerry Judy. Uh. 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:28.720 He had some legal issues this offseason, dinged up a 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:32.520 bit in mini camp. Everyone is all over Judy as 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.800 a sleeper, which in turn means that he really can't 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:39.520 be a sleeper anymore because we're all wide awake pushed 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:42.160 too high. Yeah, he's in the fourth round for ADP 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:45.440 right now, it's too high. In ten healthy games last year, 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:50.720 Judy scored zero touchdowns and averaged around four catches for 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.639 forty seven yards per game. Now he will most certainly 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.800 improve upon those numbers with a massive upgrade at quarterback, 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:00.399 but he's going in the fourth round. Guys right behind 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:07.320 him include Terry McLaren, DK metcalf, Allen Robinson, A Marii Cooper, 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:12.520 Chris Godwin, Rashad Bateman, Juju Smith Schuster. I'd rather have 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:16.080 all of the above over Jerry Judy right now. You're 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.000 you're really when you take Jerry Judy that high, Matt, 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.360 You're doing it all on talent and what we saw 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:24.840 in college, and we've seen glimpses of with the Broncos, 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:28.280 but never consistently, and projecting what that could look like 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:31.480 if it all comes together. With Russell Wilson, You're you're 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:34.680 betting on him being materially better and that it does 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:37.720 all come together. You're betting on explosive output from Judy, 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:39.840 and we just haven't seen that in the pros yet. 0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:44.360 Courtland Sutton did play every game last season. He scored 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:47.480 two whole touchdowns. So we're drafting him at an ad 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:51.920 PIE slightly higher than Jerry Judy. Higher. You mean earlier, 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:55.280 he's earlier. He's earlier in the fourth round. Uh. He 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:59.360 also had only three games of over ninety yards. I mean, man, 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:03.240 the Broncos passing game just sucked last year. But um, 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:05.840 he's He's four or five picks ahead of Judy right now, 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:08.720 slightly more bankable as we've actually seen him have a 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:12.080 thousand yards season once in his four year career. But 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:14.600 to me, if I'm in the fourth round, I don't 0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:16.600 think I'm going to take the variants that could come 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.760 with these wide receivers. And by the way, Tim Patrick, 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:24.080 the third string wide receiver, had more touchdowns last year 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:29.400 then Judy and Sutton have combined over the last two years. 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:32.760 What I don't know if you have Patrick's ADP in 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:34.480 front of you, but out of the three, I might 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:36.560 pick Patrick if I had to pick one, I don't. 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:38.000 I don't have it in front of me, but it's 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:43.199 probably sixteenth round in there. Um, my favorite little sleeper 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:47.719 from this offense is Albert aquag Bonam or Albert Oh 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:50.399 as many like to call him. He's probably the Bronco 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:53.560 I'll get on most of my rosters. Currently, the sixteenth 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:55.760 tight end off the board. A twelveth round a DP, 0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:59.160 you get the subtraction of Noah Fan who went over 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:02.800 to Seattle in the Wilson trade, and Albert Oh seems 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:05.480 like a prime player to jump into a significantly higher 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:09.800 target share. Wilson's tight ends have averaged six touchdowns per 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:12.840 year over the last three and if Albert's looking at 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:15.840 sixty catches and around six hundred yards, which is kind 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:19.159 of line, that's probably fair where he was. I think 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:20.960 greg deals are just gonna be a very good player 0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:23.440 and we'll eat into that, but probably not this year. 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:27.040 But sixty catches, six hundred yards and five or six scores, 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:29.480 that's got him at about tight end twelve. So he's 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:33.439 definitely in play there. Uh. Finally, let's talk the runners, 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:36.320 and it's Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon, and I'm putting 0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:42.200 them together because they are just a split right down 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:45.080 the frustrating split or where they were last year, and 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:47.600 I but suspect they will be this Uh. And Williams 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:49.920 was electric for most of the year, didn't fair too 0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:51.879 well on the ground in the final three weeks of 0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:54.080 the season, where he ran for only two point six 0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:56.520 yards per carry, kind of wore down. At the end 0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:59.240 of the year, averaged four point eight yards per carry 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:01.760 and the other four team games, but the biggest issue 0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:04.560 was the near even split, and Gordon outscored Williams ten 0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:08.439 to seven in the touchdown department. Uh. Could the better 0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:13.480 back win out in this new system. Question mark Nathaniel 0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:17.160 Hackett's offense did this last year in Green Bay. Aaron 0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:20.520 Jones had two three touches. A J. Dillon had two 0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:27.800 touches split. You have to take Javonte in the early third. 0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:31.320 He was going almost in the first before Melvin Gordon resigned. 0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:34.639 Melvin Gordon isn't going off the board until the ninth 0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:40.160
