1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice.

3
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 2: What's going on everybody, and welcome back another offseason edition

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 2: of Phantasy Football Weekly with you're a faithful narrator and

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 2: host John the Gates and find me at John the

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: Gates and My Body, Jay Trobridge, Jake. Maybe opening day

7
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: for MLB, but nobody seemed to tell NFL they could

8
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 2: take a day or two off from the news. We

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 2: got another jam packed show up player stuff going on.

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's not enough to just have one

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: sport doing everything. We can never just have one sport

12
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: standout too much. So I feel like it's only appropriate

13
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: for some extra added melee.

14
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: You know. Yeah, I'm always thinking about that meme, you know,

15
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 2: the guy with the girlfriend who's like looking at with

16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: the with the person passing, And that's how I feel.

17
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: It's always the NFL is always the the you know,

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: the girl in the red dress from the matrix, always

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: getting all the attention, the one that you're all paying

20
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: attention to. But we get it. And this show has

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: really been not just a lot of fun, but it's

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: also been very helpful. Again, forget the baseball stuff, just

23
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: always keeping one eyeball on these movements. We mentioned the

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: butterfly effect last week and kind of throwing the rock

25
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 2: in the pond, it just creates the ripple effect. And

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: I know for myself some of these moves are helping

27
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 2: me kind of think a little more downrange maybe that

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: I'm used to at this point. So you did a

29
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: really good job at helping me outline this episode instead

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: of the news sign. And we're gonna start with a

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 2: bit of retention first. The first one was Daniel Jones

32
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: is staying with the Colts, So that's a good thing

33
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: I think for him, them and everyone involved. I'm just

34
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: not sure if he's gonna be one hundred percent, when

35
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: he's gonna be one hundred percent, and what it's gonna

36
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: look like by the time he gets there. We were

37
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: mentioning those lower leg injuries, So I don't know if

38
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: you've kind of changed how you feel about Daniel Jones.

39
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 2: I kind of thought he might stay right now. He's

40
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: AVP one fifty.

41
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: What do you think, Well, I think the injury is

42
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: what really makes this such a strange thing to have

43
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: to contend with at this point, and yet John, you

44
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: know we're gonna be talking about I guess what we

45
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: might consider maybe B list free agent signings that we

46
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: haven't talked about yet. I would consider them more under

47
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 1: the radar. You know that's a more favorable term, probably,

48
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: But I also wanted to call out some of these

49
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: under the radar ones from last year. And Daniel Jones

50
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: was one of those last year when he signed with

51
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: the Colts, and we kind of just maybe not all

52
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: of us, but a lot of us kind of brush

53
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: it off like that's a nothing signing and we don't

54
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: really want anything to do with it.

55
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: Lo and Behold.

56
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 1: He ends up being quarterback fifteen in points per game

57
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: last season, So now a full off season under his

58
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: belt with the Colts, a full season with the Colts

59
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: if he didn't have the injury. I would be so

60
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: excited about him for fantasy because he has just enough

61
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: upside to keep him very interesting in the late rounds.

62
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 1: But he's also not somebody I think that people will

63
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: go trip over themselves to draft.

64
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: John.

65
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you singing a lot of my song here. You

66
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: just missed the one Tormiovi's us, which is mind meld.

67
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 2: You did point out repetition continuity. Those things really matter.

68
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 2: But for me, yeah, it's competent quarterbacking and the mind

69
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: meld with good coaching. Sometimes one plus one equals three.

70
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: That seemed to make sense in Indie. I had to

71
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: look it up the date of the injury. It was

72
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: torn right Achilles, December twenty five. I mean, I don't know.

73
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: You gotta think at least a year and we've seen

74
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: guys not look great, but their legs underneath him. It's

75
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: a quarterback, so you're thinking arm but he's also a

76
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: bit mobile. I don't know, man, I'm a little bit

77
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: worried about Jones one fifty. I don't think that feels

78
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: like enough of a discount for me to be to

79
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: be completely honest, let me see if I could put

80
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: this into some context for you. Daniel Jones one forty seven.

81
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: That's right next to Bryce Young, who is right next

82
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: to Fernando Mendoza. So there's actually as a pretty good

83
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: dichotomy right there. On first round picks one. We know

84
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: a little bit about that, we haven't got a lot

85
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: from one. We don't know anything about that. We're expecting

86
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: something from of those three. Who would you like to

87
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: have before we.

88
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: Move Onugh, I know, can I just pass entirely?

89
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: Let me no, I don't.

90
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: I don't like Mendoza as much as as the average

91
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: bird probably does. I'm struggling with the idea of his

92
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: upside just because he's not a super mobile guy. But

93
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: if you take away Daniel jones mobility with that injury,

94
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: and I guess if we're just looking at two kind

95
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: of pocket passers in their situations.

96
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: I just like the Colts offense better.

97
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: You know.

98
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: It's just tough for me to figure out what to

99
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 1: do with the Raiders offense in general.

100
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: John, Yeah, Bryce Shung is a starter, and we've gotten

101
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: some from him. I don't know if I want to

102
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 2: say I stepped on the rake or fell for it.

103
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: I generally like to save that determination Jake in fantasy

104
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: like falling for it when you pay a premium. Where

105
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: I was drafting Bryshung and I was admittedly wrong, those

106
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 2: picks don't kill you, right if you took him in

107
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 2: the nineteenth round and the twentieth round. Yes, he didn't

108
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 2: give you that back end of the season before where

109
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: he was whatever a top seven or a top ten

110
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 2: performer that a lot of us hope we would get

111
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 2: he is going to start. I mean they have Kenny Pickett.

112
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what kind of competition, and we're gonna

113
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: get there. He hasn't really made much noise. I'm looking

114
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: at Bryce Shung's numbers. I mean he threw eleven picks.

115
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: That was kind of brutal. There was a lot of

116
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: drops that receive it need some help. But only six

117
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 2: point three ypa and only thirty two percent first downs

118
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 2: per a temph. We all know about the height stuff.

119
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: He doesn't really run enough for me. My choice would

120
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: not be young, and I'm scared of the health. So

121
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: in that situation, I'd go Mendoza. They're gonna table the

122
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 2: Mindoza thing because let's see exactly how it shakes out

123
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: where we goes all the other surrounding pieces. Another piece

124
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: of quarterback news. So Jacoby Presset to the Cardinals. All right,

125
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: we saw that work. How however, I say, buck but

126
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 2: but a big kind of shaking butt. Arizona moves moves

127
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: on from another short one oh one Kyler Murray and

128
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: right now that quarterback room is Jacoby Pressett and Gardner Minshew.

129
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess they're gonna draft somebody or sign somebody,

130
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: I would hope. Yeah, if not as constituted, are you

131
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: interested in Presett after seeing what they did with him

132
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 2: on the center. They didn't win any games.

133
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: Though, No, they sure didn't, But you did win some

134
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: matchups with Jacoby Brissett in especially because you just grabbed

135
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: him off the waivers. And that's the thing that was

136
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: so great about Brissett last year. It's another reason that

137
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: I just put him at the top here as kind

138
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: of a call out to last year's free agency class.

139
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: Is like, again, that was a nothing signing when he

140
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: signed with the Cardinals last year. He ends up being

141
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: quarterback nine in points per game once he takes over

142
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: for Kyler in Week six. And to the point, it

143
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: wasn't helping the Cardinals that he was throwing a lot.

144
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: He was throwing a lot because the Cardinals offense was

145
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: not looking great, the team overall was not looking great.

146
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's gonna possibly throw as much

147
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: as he did last year, but he's certainly got decent

148
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: weapons as long as he has McBride and Michael Wilson,

149
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: and maybe Marv takes a step forward.

150
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: I don't know.

151
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 3: I don't hate the idea of going with Jacoby Brissett.

152
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 2: Yet it really is an interesting move. Again, price is

153
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 2: always the biggest thing. Now percent is it? Pick one sixty?

154
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: If you notice there were a clump of qbs I

155
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: mentioned before, he's at that next here, but it's not

156
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: that much further. I mean, I don't think you could

157
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: take him as your QB one right now. Is kind

158
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: of best balls season because if they sign somebody, you'd

159
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: imagine it would probably either be to be the starter

160
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: or be the starter by week four or something. Jacoby Prissett,

161
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: this is something I want to mention again we're doing

162
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 2: tabled discussions or discussions to be tabled. We often talk

163
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: about running back as a position that can get home

164
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: based on volume, and now Arizona with Brissette made me

165
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: reconsider that with quarterback, especially because he doesn't run. You know,

166
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: is that something that you've ever really thought about, Jake

167
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 2: when you were streaming, Let's say, do you really think

168
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 2: about volume? I know I think about the guy that

169
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: gets the rushing four and maybe I've oversimplified it.

170
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 3: How about you, Well, it's harder to project.

171
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 1: I think what the total passing volume is going to

172
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: be on a week to week basis. We can, of course,

173
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: try our best and look at the opposing defense that

174
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: they're playing against, try to gamescript out and figure out

175
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: how much you know that Jacobe would have to throw

176
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,359
Speaker 1: if they're playing a very good team.

177
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 3: For example.

178
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: But also last year was weird because the Cardinals had

179
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: no backfield. Everybody got injured, nobody was healthy all at

180
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: once in the backfield, so they had.

181
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: To completely lead on the passing game.

182
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: So I think that's the other tricky aspect of this

183
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: is if they are decent as a running back unit,

184
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: there's probably not a need for reset. So to your point, no,

185
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: I still look more for rushing upside than I do

186
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: passing volume. But every once in a while we get

187
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: a fun outlier.

188
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess once once you start to get the

189
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: indicator that it's happening, you could kind of chase it,

190
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? So all right, next, Javonta

191
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: Williams staying with the Cowboys. I know, what's kind of boring,

192
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 2: but really great offense like that you want the lead back.

193
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: None of the other players there really did much of anything.

194
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 2: So minor signing, yes, but maybe I don't know, maybe

195
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 2: major fantasy impact Javonte right now, is pick forty and

196
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 2: that I didn't know all of a sudden, I'm making

197
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 2: a weird face because that's a little too rico for me.

198
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 2: I think, how about yourself, Chill.

199
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I again, this is a callback to last

200
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: year's offseason where Javonte signs with the Cowboys. We're like,

201
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: we can't invest too heavily in him because Miles Sanders.

202
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 3: Is there and Jaden Blue is there.

203
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: And sometimes we just talk ourselves out of guys who

204
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: look so good on paper because we don't want to

205
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: believe it. Javonte Williams, of course, looked really good as

206
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: a rookie, and then he has a couple of rough

207
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: years with the injuries that was really stacked up. I

208
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: think we just didn't want to believe that he could

209
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: bounce back from that injury, and then he really really did,

210
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: you know, to the tune of being a top twelve

211
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 1: running back in PPR and points brigade. So they haven't

212
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: changed much outside of maybe a piece here or there.

213
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 3: It's not gonna be the exact same offense. But I

214
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 3: like Gavonte Williams.

215
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: He slowed down towards the end of the season, but

216
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't affect how I will draft him to start

217
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: next season? Are you staying away from him? It sounds

218
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: like or maybe just a little not bullish on him.

219
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's because I not say I fell for

220
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 2: it last year, but I experienced them right. I took

221
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 2: the ride and the thing that got me. I always

222
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: want guys that catch balls, and last year he came

223
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: out of the box and was catching passes. So he

224
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: went two for ten week one, which is probably right

225
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 2: in line with expectations. But then he goes six for

226
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: thirty three and five for sixteen. Granted, the yards totals

227
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: are not great, but in PBR formats that is tremendous.

228
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: Way it's a free touchdown each week. Then it really

229
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: dried up and it stayed dry, right like the copboard

230
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: went empty and no one went back to Costco because

231
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: there were multiple, you know, catchless weeks. He didn't go

232
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: over three and he only hit three once, and then

233
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: it's a bunch of nothings. He had four weeks in

234
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: a row, we're only caught one ball for eight yards

235
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 2: or less, so a real kind of receiving floor top forty.

236
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: I can't get there. As much as I love the

237
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: potential for touchdowns. Dallas will also throw neither in the

238
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 2: red zone because they have such dynamic weapons. And you know,

239
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: Dak is really an excellent QB, though he's not taking

240
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 2: any of those. I mean, Javonte had to look it up.

241
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 2: He had fifty one red zone attempts, which we love,

242
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: but top forty pick did not catch pass. This sounds

243
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: a little rich. Maybe I'm going on a little bit

244
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: long with these guys that are staying, but all these

245
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: picks really matter to me, you know, in these moves

246
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 2: and whether or not they're moves, whether they're faux moves,

247
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 2: right the move that wasn't How about your heed back

248
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: to the Seahawks, and I get you take on he

249
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 2: back to the Seahawks.

250
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: I think that if Seattle is paying him this much

251
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: money it's three years and fifty one million, that's the

252
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: official contract, it should mean that they're actually gonna use

253
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: him as a legitimate wide receiver, right John, This this

254
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: seems like a lot of money to pay for a

255
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: glorified kick returner, even with these new you know.

256
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 3: Kickoff rules.

257
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: And I just hope that he gets used more than

258
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: he did last year. He played nine games for the

259
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: Seahawks after he got traded. He had fifteen catches in

260
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty eight yards in those nine games

261
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: outside of JSN. It's not like they were overflowing with

262
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: talent on the pass catching depth chart. I mean, all

263
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: due respect to Cooper Cup, but so I don't know,

264
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: it's a weird thing to contract. I want to say,

265
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: follow the money, John and just believe that he gets

266
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: a bigger opportunity, a bigger slice of the pie.

267
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 3: But he's really leaving me kind of frazzled.

268
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: I'm a little frazzled about what his probably training camp

269
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: is going to look like, and that will give me

270
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: more info that I'm gonna have to work off of.

271
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 3: Are you nervous, are you skeptical? What's your read?

272
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean I'm upset, you know, I'm I really

273
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: like Shaheed. He was popping in all these per route

274
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: metrics and we know he could take the top of

275
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: the defense and it feels and it's funny. This is

276
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 2: one of those like better for better for him in

277
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: real life football than for us in fantasy, which is

278
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: kind of selfish because this is probably be perfect for him.

279
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: He creates an every down threat where he still can

280
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: get some numbers, but he's really making an impact in

281
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: the return game. But it's so it's game well to

282
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: the Bucks. That man. That's another like trumpets sound for me,

283
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 2: because I was really big on Bucky Irving, and it's

284
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: gonna be really it's gonna be really hard to invest

285
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: in in Bucky right now because we already saw that

286
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 2: they're kind of okay getting away from him. Bucky Irving

287
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: is an edp of thirty six, and we saw game

288
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 2: will just go into a new city and just kind

289
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: of take the job out from everybody under everyone's nose

290
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: in fantasy. So I don't think i'd be going with Irving.

291
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 2: So your thoughts on Irving, your thoughts at that price,

292
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: which I think is entirely too high.

293
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 3: I'm worried for Bucky Irving.

294
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: I was a big proponent of Bucky back, you know,

295
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: before his rookie season, and but even as much as

296
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: I liked him coming into the NFL, I was surprised at.

297
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 3: How quickly he popped.

298
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: But now I would say that we have probably a

299
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: good potential for a split backfield truly, because Kenny Gainwell,

300
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: Philly did not appreciate what they had and Kenny, by

301
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: the way, But he gets one chance in Pittsburgh on

302
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: a team where they already had Jalen Warren as a

303
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: pass catching back, by the way, and then they spent

304
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: a third round pick on Caleb Johnson, which clearly didn't

305
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: work out or didn't work out last year, but still

306
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: here comes Gainwell with it was more than a thousand

307
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: scrimmage yards I think eight total touchdowns. That's not a

308
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: guy that's just gonna go away or be some backfield

309
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: barely complimentary piece. Like I think he's really going to

310
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: cut into some of the the work that Bucky gets

311
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: because he's also a big play guy, where Shad White

312
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: was not a big play guy at all.

313
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 3: He was effective as.

314
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: A receiving back, but you know he kind of he

315
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: was kind of bad as a beer running back. So

316
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: getna gainball much better in that world. So yeah, I

317
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: don't think I would be spending that level of ADP

318
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: capital on Bucky either.

319
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: John Yeah, that's crazy to me. Gainwell automatically pops as

320
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 2: a zero RB option, a really strong RB option, especially

321
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 2: in best ball formats or season long formats where you're

322
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: you know, you're married to this team the whole way.

323
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: There are generally injuries, and he would step I would

324
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: think into pretty much a featured role. You nail that

325
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 2: this is a legitimate receiving threat. I'm looking at these numbers.

326
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: This is again you've put a purpose, not something that's

327
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: going away. Eighty five targets, I mean he reeled in

328
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: seventy three balls. It's just outrageous. But twenty six percent

329
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: target per out run and one and a half yards

330
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: are elite pass catching numbers. And Bucky can be explosive

331
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: out of the backfield, but it's too much uncertainty at

332
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 2: that commitment, you know, paying a premium as far as

333
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 2: draft capital, like you said, so that's kind of crazy

334
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 2: to be. So the vacuum is created in Pittsburgh, they

335
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 2: fill it with former Panther Rico dawdles So Dowd goes

336
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 2: to the Steelers. Now, is this as easy as this

337
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 2: seems to be more of a fit, like a thunder

338
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 2: and lightning kind of fit in Pittsburgh. It felt like

339
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 2: they went lightning and lightning last year. Jalen Warren and

340
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: Kenneth gain Well, they're not exactly the same player, but

341
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: the archetypes are more similar than this. Right, speaking of

342
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: a player who came in and took the job Rego

343
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 2: did that? Is he the better runner? And the ADPs?

344
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 2: What do you think? Who do I mean, who do

345
00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: you like better? Right?

346
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: He's I mean, we can't always expect Rico Daludo to

347
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: come in and you know, put up four hundred and

348
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: seventy three scrimmage yards over the course of two games,

349
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: which he did last year. I don't know how that

350
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: even happens. I know one was a revenge game against Dallas.

351
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 3: I think, so.

352
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: There's probably a little bit of extra juice there, but

353
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: that's just purely crazy. I do think that this move

354
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: is kind of an admission that Caleb Johnson isn't gonna

355
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: work out for them. That's how I'm reading this, and

356
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think this is more of

357
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: he should be the thunder theoretically to the lightning of

358
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: Jalen Warren. So I'm not expecting a ton of pass

359
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: catching work for Dowdell. This might be my favorite under

360
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: the radar signing though, if I'm being honest, john this

361
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: is like the you know, you ever get like a

362
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: bag of French fries from a fast food place and

363
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: there's one stray onion ring in there, you're like, how

364
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: did that get in there?

365
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 3: That's nice. That add a little jolt of joy to

366
00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 3: my day.

367
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: That's kind of what Rico did when he got added

368
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: to the Steelers for me, because I think we can

369
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: truly rely on both him and Warren, and I don't

370
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: think you'll have to pay much for either in drafts,

371
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: but I think they'll both be very usable throughout the season.

372
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, the costs of Warren Dowell seventy six and ninety

373
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 2: two respectively. So this is a little more interesting, let's say,

374
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 2: than last year. Luckily, because they were going at the

375
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: same time. Caleb Johnson was going really high, you know,

376
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 2: and you were had to choose between Warren and Johnson.

377
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 2: People thought that was kind of the coin flip to

378
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 2: Johnson was like a real goose egg. Warren ended up

379
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 2: being okay but threatened here. I think you get them both,

380
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,239
Speaker 2: and this is a situation where you might want to

381
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 2: I'm worried at the Steelers. We mentioned a quarterback situation.

382
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 2: It's still kind of unsteady and uncertain. I don't know

383
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 2: how many points are gonna put up. They are slow moving,

384
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 2: but once you're outside the top seventy five, if you're

385
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: getting touchdown equity. I think you can buy that. That's

386
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 2: Dawdall's case outside the top ninety and Warren's case seventy

387
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: five getting lots of catches. So I like the price,

388
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 2: and this is a the whole game is predicated on price. Okay,

389
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 2: another set of running back moves, a little another little

390
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: dosy dough right, a little musical chairs here, So let

391
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 2: me se if I set this one up right zone. Okay,

392
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 2: Brian Robinson goes to the Falcons in place of Tyler Algier,

393
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 2: who goes to the Cardinals. So I guess let's start

394
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 2: with the Falcons first. Brian Robinson, we've seen him back

395
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 2: up and just kind of play just a strict backup role.

396
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: Are you threatened for Bijon at all? Is here? One

397
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: oh one?

398
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: Let's say yeah, I mean this doesn't affect Bijon's ranking

399
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: at all for me. If anything, it might be a

400
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: tiny boost to him, not that he needed it, but

401
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: I think Tyler Algier was a bigger threat to taking

402
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: away his red zone attempts. I don't think Brian Robinson

403
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: is quite that same power back inside the five yard line.

404
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: Let's say, as Tyler Algiers, so I actually think Bijon

405
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: and his touchdown upside could benefit from this a little bit.

406
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 3: Let me quickly.

407
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: Point out I will be the one millionth person to

408
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: do so, so drop the balloons. There are now two

409
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: b Robinson's on the Atlanta Falcons. This is surely not

410
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: going to cause any issues in fantasy league's come draft day.

411
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: Surely nobody in dynasty leagues has accepted a trade for

412
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: the wrong b Robinson from atl Just silliness.

413
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 3: I hate that, But.

414
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: Otherwise it's a fine Brian Robinson. By the way, we

415
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: should actually point out what luck in terms of handcuff

416
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: landing spots. He's backing up CMC in San Francisco last

417
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: year and now Bijon and the Falcons this year. Probably

418
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: a primo handcuff.

419
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. I thought it was gonna be that last year.

420
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: That's not always how those things work out. Yeah, so

421
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 2: I'm not threatened at all. I think Brian Robinson's probably

422
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 2: in a great spot. Again, he's a pick one ninety four.

423
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 2: So this is another good table discussion when we eventually

424
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,239
Speaker 2: talk about running back handcuffs. One of the things that

425
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 2: I really love about selecting a running back in the

426
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 2: first round is how acquirable is the backup, how much

427
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 2: of a threat are they And if the answer is

428
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 2: not much of a threat, but can also fill in

429
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 2: the role and is very cheap, this is like a

430
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 2: one attachment, right, because I don't like to preach premium handcuffs.

431
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 2: I think that's a bad way to play fantasy. But

432
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 2: if you can get Bijon at the one, you make

433
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 2: sure make sure to get Brian Robinson because even if

434
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 2: you're just missing a game or two, it could mean

435
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 2: an RB one finish. So let's fast forward the other way.

436
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: Tyler Alzeer, who I've always thought of as one of

437
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 2: the better, you know, backups, like just a pure kind

438
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 2: of runner. If you watch him kind of play the game,

439
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 2: the tape watchers know Alger is legit. He was never

440
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: gonna truly threaten Beijon for workload. I mean that was

441
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 2: never fair. But now he's going somewhere where he might

442
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: so he's heading out to the desert here. Cardinals didn't

443
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 2: bring back James Connor, of course, for all their retention

444
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: mistakes I made. Of course I didn't get that one right.

445
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 2: I think Algier could be the guy here, and if

446
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 2: Connor is going before him, I want to confirm the

447
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: latest ADP so Connor is at one fifty eight and

448
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 2: Algier is at eighty seven, So okay, the market has

449
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 2: hit to that. I think I like Algier in Arizona.

450
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 2: I forget the high volume like we mentioned before, I

451
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 2: actually really like the prospect of this move. I think

452
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 2: you can get it back end RB one finish here.

453
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,239
Speaker 1: It's kind of the best possible landing spot for him.

454
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: John I don't know where else he could have went

455
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: after all the great ones were off the board. Right

456
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: when Kenneth Walker goes to k It's the city and

457
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: Travis h Chan I have to make sure I pronounce

458
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: that correctly. Moving forward goes over to New Orleans like

459
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: those are the best possible spots, But Arizona's probably the

460
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: next best for any running back. And Aljier you said it.

461
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: He only had one season without Bijon Robinson. He did

462
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: top one thousand yards in that season again, major touchdown

463
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: vulture behind Bijon in Atlanta. So somebody has to lead

464
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: the Cardinals backfield. I think they still want it to

465
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: maybe be Trey Benson, but he didn't really flash much

466
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: with his limited opportunities last year.

467
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 3: Then he had the knee injury.

468
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody else in that backfield is up

469
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: to the tasks, so it wouldn't shock me off if

470
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: Algier ends up being sort of the guy.

471
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've been waiting for for a long time. I

472
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 2: wonder in Dynasty what you think about Trey Benson Sometimes,

473
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes the general manager in the front office

474
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 2: tell you exactly what they think when they keep bringing in,

475
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 2: you know, viable replacements. I didn't want to just say

476
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 2: better players like the fields wrong, but you know that

477
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 2: bringing legit players right. Al Zier did not get brought

478
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 2: into Ryan's bench, And when you bring in a guy

479
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 2: like Connor, you at least know what he means to

480
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 2: the team and that he can carry a workload. We

481
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 2: always say, you know, it's the age of running back committees.

482
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 2: We could stomach too, but we're out on three. Does

483
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 2: Benson even have a spot in redraft? I asked you

484
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 2: because someone asked me.

485
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: Uh, in redraft. I'm just fully out on Trey Benson

486
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: into Dynasty. There's always a low enough price where you

487
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: can send just yeah, a couple of wourth round picks. Sure,

488
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: why not? I guess I'm probably not gonna like the rookies.

489
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: I would spend those on anyways. So then make me

490
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: see what happens with Trey Benson. He's only you know,

491
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: three seasons in starting this year, and again he was

492
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: cut short last year because of the injuries. So I'm

493
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: not going to completely write him off, but I'm pretty nervous.

494
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 2: Well, you just made all the best points for a dynasty.

495
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: Everybody has a price, you know, for the thousand dollars. Man,

496
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 2: it's truth, though you can't I've been victim to this

497
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 2: at points where you kind of write players off and

498
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: there really should be a cost, especially in dynasty. I

499
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 2: think sometimes I don't want to say, like rage drop,

500
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 2: they like rage attached to trades, and they really undervalue

501
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 2: players that are talented or like I mentioned before, could

502
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: have value in another spot. The RB position just rotates

503
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 2: so quickly. I think people kind of forget that, you know,

504
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 2: during the offseason, when it's very static, they're on a

505
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 2: lot of injuries. It's easy to say, oh, man, there's

506
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 2: so many hurdles. Yeah, all those hurdles that can be

507
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 2: eliminated the first day of practice and all of a

508
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 2: sudden you're sitting on a real running back, so I

509
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 2: like the downrange stuff. We only have a few minutes left.

510
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: I want to switch gears to tight ends. We haven't

511
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 2: spoken about tight ends at all. You mentioned a three

512
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 2: pack right here. First one is Isaiah Likely to the Giants.

513
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 2: I gotta say, on its face, this got me really

514
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 2: really excited. Yeah, I've always liked Likely behind Andrews. I

515
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 2: was that guy drafting him with Andrews or even without Andrews,

516
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 2: hoping for I'm not say hoping for an injury, but

517
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: hoping for the opportunity to show what he can do.

518
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 2: I think he's supremely talented. Oh, giants are in desperate

519
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 2: need of a pass catching tight end. Dart is there there.

520
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 2: They're really explosive. We're gonna get neighbors back at some

521
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 2: point early in the season. All Right, put some cold

522
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 2: water on this, I think, am I like, I'm like real,

523
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 2: I'm really getting really excited for all the kind of

524
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,479
Speaker 2: milk post responses I've had. All Right, bring me back

525
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 2: down to earth ADP One five. I think you could

526
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 2: get a tight end one finish year.

527
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna be the cold water in this.

528
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: I was getting excited looking at Likely to the Giants.

529
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 2: So I don't.

530
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna be the ice on this one.

531
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, because I was excited about THEO Johnson before this

532
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: move happened. I thought, even THEO Johnson for a stretch

533
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: last year when Jackson Dart took over and was healthy,

534
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: he was kind of the red zone guy for a

535
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: good chunk of games, and I thought this year, if

536
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: he goes late enough, I'll take THEO. Now, I'm just

537
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: shifting that interest over to Isaiah Likely because I do

538
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: think he's a much better tight end, certainly more versatile

539
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: tight end. So we're looking for a number two pass

540
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: catcher behind Malik Neighbors, Wandel Robinson is gone.

541
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 3: Who is it going to be?

542
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: It could be Isaiah Likely, and we want a tight

543
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: end to be that featured in an offense. So yeah,

544
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: a back end tight end one finish certainly within the

545
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: realm of possibility.

546
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: We are friends forever, my friend. What was in all

547
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 2: of my panic? You know I'm through the If anybody

548
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 2: is remember Sesame Streid, You remember Tully? Right? All of

549
00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 2: my kind of nerve racking, irrational exuberance here over Isaiah Likely.

550
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 2: I forgot the mean, Really the main key where this

551
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 2: can really take off. Is the vacating of those slot

552
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 2: targets something we've seen Isaiah likely excel at. Last year

553
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: he ran thirteen slot routes a game. You know, he

554
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 2: earned themost two slot targets, and that was on a

555
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: team that already had a tight end. Because Andrews works

556
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 2: out of the slot. Now we were talking about that

557
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 2: ripple effect. I think that's a boost for Andrews also

558
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 2: to get likely out of the way, even that little

559
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 2: bit of work that he was getting. Baltimore loves these

560
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 2: two and three and four even tight end sets. I

561
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: think Andrews is in the spot to be a real

562
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: kind of featured player, but likely at one. I think

563
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 2: he's going to rise quite a bit as people digest

564
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: these moves. Right, not everyone is sitting down every week

565
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 2: and listening to Fantasy football weekly, even though they should

566
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 2: in thinking about this stuff. Where there are gonna be

567
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 2: a lot of people come the real hot weather go

568
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 2: is Neil like he's on the Giants, Like that's kind

569
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 2: of exciting, And I think that is exciting because I

570
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: think he's a real athlete. The next is speaking of

571
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 2: real athletes, So chig a Conk goes to the Commanders.

572
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 2: This is another He might be my most rostered post

573
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 2: eighteenth round tight end ever. Just I was always betting

574
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 2: on the talent, hoping it would kind of bleed through.

575
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 2: I think he was capped in a bad Tennessee ecosystem.

576
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 2: He goes to Washington to ploy, was jading Daniels. I'm

577
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: also very very excited for Chig. I mean obvious upside.

578
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 2: He's at ADB one sixty five. All of a sudden,

579
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 2: you could have a pretty stealthy tight end room that

580
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 2: you're drafting very late.

581
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 3: John.

582
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: Every year, every offseason I wonder how late I can

583
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: go in my drafts without taking a tight end, Like

584
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: is this year where I punt it until the very

585
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: last round?

586
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 3: And every year I.

587
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: Try to trick myself into that and it never really

588
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: works out. But maybe this year it could work out

589
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: with these two guys, likely in ocon Quo. I'm also

590
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: very excited about the Oconquo thing. So we're not fire

591
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: and water. We're just fire and fire on this one again.

592
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: But you look at last year, and zach Ertz was

593
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: very usable in this offense. Last year could not be

594
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: more different in terms of an actual tight end type.

595
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: You know, Ertz's the catch ball fouled fall down tight end.

596
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: Oconquo is a big yak guy. In fact, he averaged

597
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: the seventh most yards after catch per reception among tight

598
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: ends last year. That was just shy of Deebo Samuel's

599
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: yak mark, by the way, and Deebo Samuel as of

600
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: right now at least not with the Commanders, So that's

601
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: two big vacancies. I think that's gonna end up with

602
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: a ton of work inside the ten yard line, probably

603
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: for Oconquo, but it won't all be pure PPR points.

604
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna be again a lot of yards after the

605
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: catch with him. So I think if I had a preference,

606
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: I would go Oconquo over likely.

607
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 3: Are you likely over Oconquo?

608
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, at the price you can have them both,

609
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: and I think I think if you like a con

610
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 2: Quo over likely, then you're gonna really have a great

611
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 2: time drafting this draft season because you're gonna be able

612
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 2: to build freely underneath. These guys are going very late.

613
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: I was trying to count what tight end, but I

614
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 2: ran out a finger, so it means he's at least

615
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 2: number eleven. I think I got to sixteen for likely

616
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 2: which make a con quo like twenty, which I'm similar

617
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 2: to yourself. I like to wait for tight ends, and

618
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 2: I like to wait for the trigger. Right when do

619
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 2: I know I should really pull the trigger? And when

620
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 2: tight end eleven or twelve is going, you know it's

621
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 2: time to get a move on. Sure you're gonna be

622
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: able to wait for tight end twelve and still get

623
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: your guys. Still get your guys, you know, and I

624
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 2: honestly I don't think they're gonna stay there. I think

625
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 2: you'll see both these. I'm not saying fly up into

626
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 2: the top one hundred picks, but you know, twenty picks

627
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 2: can happen over the offseason, you know, and that's around

628
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 2: or two. So if you're in an early drafter, i'd be

629
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 2: waiting on tight ends. Jake, somehow we did it. It's

630
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 2: the end of March and we still didn't get to

631
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 2: all the names, the news and the notes. Thank you

632
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 2: so much for your help. I'm sorry. I threw a

633
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 2: bit of a curve ball and I got us off track.

634
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 2: You of course kept us on the rails and made

635
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 2: sure every bit of it was relevant, and I really

636
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 2: do appreciate you for it. You know, it's like that.

637
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 2: Sometimes it gets so hectic, especially before all the moves

638
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: and stuff. So I want to thank you. And I've

639
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 2: gotten a lot of really great feedback about our little

640
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,959
Speaker 2: chemistry here, so I'll be looking forward to be you

641
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 2: next week. Do you have anything to close out for us?

642
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 3: You know, everybody, stay warm or cold or windy.

643
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: Or dry or whatever the weird sixth season is wherever

644
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: you're living right now, just be enjoyment, all right, from.

645
00:33:52,080 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 2: Jenk and John. Take it easier next week, don't you know,

646
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:12,120
