28
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: podcast that is in transition. It is not not the

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: same podcast that it was, say this time last year.

30
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: We're kind of heard trying some things. But welcome back

00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: my friends. Yeah, that should be a lot of fun.

54
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: As he mentioned that the Miss coming out a little

55
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: bit later, he will talk about a couple of fantasy

56
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: leagues that he is in. Plus, Uh, he's a big

57
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: Browns fan, so I'm pretty sure we such on the

58
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: Browns as well. We'll talk to Ian Rappaport about some

59
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: of the big things going on. We had cut down

60
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: day over the weekend, so we'll talk about, you know,

61
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: some of the roster moves we've seen around the league

62
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: and how that can impact your fantasy team. But the

63
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: speaking of which fath Let's we'll start with some of

64
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: these big surprise cuts that we saw over the weekend,

65
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: some names that kind of ended up on the street

66
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: that maybe we didn't think would be on the street.

67
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: And um, we'll start in New Orleans with the Saints

68
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: backfield because they shuffled some things around. I mean, we

69
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: know the guys at the top of that that depth start.

70
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: We know Alvin Kamearra, we know mark Ingram when he's

71
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: back from his suspension. But they did some things that

72
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: maybe opened some eyes for this preseason, right Shane Vereen

73
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: off the roster, Jonathan Williams was was cut and then

74
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: put on the practice squad. So right now you're looking

75
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: at Boston Scott and Mike killis Lee who was cut

76
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: by the Patriots and suddenly finds a job very quickly

77
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: with the New Orleans Saints. That something we'll be talking

78
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: to Ian Rappaport about. But Kamara is going to see

79
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: a lot of work in the first four games for

80
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: New Orleans until mark Ingram comes back. With that being said,

81
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: I wonder if there's any interest at all and picking

82
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: up Gillistle because he could potentially vulture some touchdowns near

83
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: the goal line in that Saints offense market. I absolutely would,

84
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: And because I went into this this season thinking that

85
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: even with whoever it was going to be, you know,

86
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: I think we're thinking maybe Boston Scott or Jonathan Williams

87
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: or whoever it was going to be, was going to

88
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: get some work early. I mean, you know, last year,

89
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: they didn't load camera up with a ton of opportunity,

90
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: and I think that for a team that is preparing

91
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: to make a deep run into the playoffs potentially to

92
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, the last thing they want to do

93
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: is overwork their star running back early. So I don't

94
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: necessarily see Camara being a twenty five to thirty touch

95
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: per game guy. So I think that means there is

96
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: room somewhere in that backfield for somebody else to get

97
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: some opportunities. So I think, you know, it's worth if

98
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: you're in a deep league, if you just want to

99
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: take a dart throw at somebody, maybe a Shane Vereen

100
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: or somebody like that, getting getting some some touch some

101
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: opportunities there. Yeah, there was another cut there, Uh, the

102
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: one in Oakland with Martavis Bryant. Now, Bryant was scheduled

103
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: wild to be he was slated to be that number

104
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: three right now, the Raiders have Jordy Nelson, Amari Cooper,

105
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: not much else behind him, and the news is that

106
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: Bryant facing some sort of suspension here. So how surprised

107
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: were you when you heard about the Bryant news And

108
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: does this, in your opinion, elevate Jordy Nelson's value? I guess,

109
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: first quickly, Shane Frien is going on. I a finger injury,

110
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: so I'm spoken, But there are some guys in that

111
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: backfield to keep an eye on. Um. I don't I

112
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: don't understand not one thing about what the Raiders are

113
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: doing with this team. I mean, you know, obviously the

114
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: big news was them trading Khalil Mack, which impacts you know,

115
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: them the defensively and potentially offensively. I don't understand why

116
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: you would make a trade for Martavis Bryant during the

117
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: draft and then cut him before week one. The idea

118
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: that he could be suspended is not a new one.

119
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,799
Speaker 1: This thing had been floating out there for a while.

120
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: This has always been a possibility for Martavis Bryant. So

121
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: why they're letting him go. I don't understand. I don't

122
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: know that this impacts Jordy Nelson anymore than it would

123
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 1: have because they're obviously not the same kind of player.

124
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: They don't run the same routes necessarily. Um, there's I've

125
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: said it all offseason and nothing has changed for me.

126
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: I I don't want any part of the Raiders offense.

127
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want I don't want their quarterback.

128
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: I don't want any of their wide receivers. I don't

129
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: want their running back. I want nothing to do with

130
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: this Raider's offense. This is going to be a bad team,

131
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: and they're going to struggle to score points and they're

132
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: gonna give up a lot of points. There's just nothing

133
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: about this group that makes me excited. And they added

134
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: Brendan LaFell um yea that does nothing for me. Um

135
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: Thomas Rawls, who are beginning some work with the Jets

136
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: that it's kind of interesting because to me, there's you know,

137
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: I know that they got Crowell and balal pal there,

138
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: but there's still a lot of things unsettled about this backfield.

139
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: And so them saying goodbye to Thomas rawl I thought

140
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: was a little bit of a surprise, A little bit,

141
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: especially because Elijah McGuire's banged up right. McGuire has been

142
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: played down, injured reserved by the Jets, And what we

143
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,239
Speaker 1: saw in the preseason was a lot of blow Paul.

144
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: And Paul was a guy that a lot of us

145
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: in the fantasy industry, including myself, liked last year, and

146
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: he let a lot of us down the previous year.

147
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: He showed some flashes. So is it a case where

148
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: we hyped up Paul? He didn't get the job done

149
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: for our fantasy teams. Now people have cooled on him,

150
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: and suddenly he could be the Jets back to draft

151
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: ahead of Isaiah crow L. I still like Blaw Powell,

152
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: and I think my frustration was that the Jets coaching

153
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: staff just didn't use him a whole lot. I mean,

154
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: this is a guy who ran for more than four

155
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: yards per carry last year. You know, twenty three catches

156
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: on thirty three targets. I mean, so the catch rate

157
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: was pretty good there. It just for whatever reason, they

158
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,239
Speaker 1: just kept trying to shoehorn other running backs into that job.

159
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: The downside for ballaal powl is that you know, this

160
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: is the year he turns thirty, and you know, we

161
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: all though the what what thirty means generally for running

162
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: backs in this league. But you know, he's still the

163
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: guy that I'm willing to take a chance on late

164
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: in draft because I just still believe in him, no doubt. Um.

165
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: So you know again, it's it's just a completely unsettled

166
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,559
Speaker 1: situation there for for the jez in the back field.

167
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: And let's stick with the running back position and go

168
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: to Denver where probably my favorite sleeper resides in in

169
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman. And there was good news there. First off,

170
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Henderson, who a lot of people liked, was released,

171
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: which left DeVante Booker, Freeman, and Philip Lindsay has the

172
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: top three running backs. And then we find out today

173
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: that Royce Freeman is going to start for the Broncos

174
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: in Week one. Al Aluiah, thank you, because he is

175
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: going to be this year's Kareem Hunt. Hear me now,

176
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: believe me later. This is someone who is going to

177
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: put up very good numbers. I'm starting to see him

178
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: move up in big boy drafts. His a DP is

179
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: rising fifth round. I've seen him drafted in the fourth round.

180
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: In fact, in our NFL experts leads draft what we

181
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: had today. I reached for him in the fourth round

182
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: because I knew he'd never get back to me in

183
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: the fifth round. Marcus, I know you don't love Freeman.

184
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: There's questions about the offensive line. But based on the

185
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: fact that he's now been named the starter, where would

186
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: you draft him if he was available, say in the

187
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth round or are you letting him slide?

188
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I would take a shot. I actually tried

189
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: to take a shot at him. I was going to

190
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: take a shot at him in the fifth round, but

191
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: he was off the board by then. Um, you know,

192
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: so I I get that. I and and my question is,

193
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: you know whend advanced Joseph figure out that Broys Freeman

194
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: was the best running back on the roster, because anybody

195
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: who watched this team in the preseason saw that, hands

196
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: down that you know, DeVante Booker was not a wasn't close,

197
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: It wasn't a threat. He wasn't a threat to him

198
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: at all. And so it was weird when you know,

199
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: a week or so ago, Vance Joseph comes out and says, well,

200
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: DeVante Booker is still our starter. That didn't make sense

201
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: to anybody because obviously, for Freeman is better. So um,

202
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: like I said, like you said, I am not as

203
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: high on him as everybody else is. But again, if

204
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: he's still there late fourth, early fifth round, I think

205
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: you'd be silly to to take a pass on him.

206
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: He's at least weren't a shot in that situation. I

207
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: really do think he is going to be the asked

208
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: rookie not named Sae Kwan Barkley based on fantasy production

209
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: this season. Okay, we don't talk about kickers a lot

210
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: for obvious reasons. Oh, you're gonna break my heart here,

211
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: aren't the Dallas Cowboys? Bailey? Go what? I know? What? What?

212
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: What happens? Is there something I don't know about going

213
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: on in there? No, I have no idea. I don't

214
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: get it. I mean maybe they needed the money to

215
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: make a run at Earl Thomas in a trade. I

216
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: have no idea. I can't figure it out. And I've

217
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: been a lifelong Cowboys fan. So now are kicker Brett Mayor? Okay?

218
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: Is he related to John Mayor? I don't know who

219
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: he is. I've heard from before, But now he's gonna

220
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: be kicking field goals and extra points for the Cowboys.

221
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: Uh and and really, that's one more player off the

222
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: roster that people may have drafted. Now you're looking at

223
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott, no brainer, and after that there's not much

224
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: to like, including Dak Prescott. Chael Gallup might be the

225
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: next highest drafted Cowboy very potentially, very very possible. And listen,

226
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: I still think Dak Prescott can be a usable option

227
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: based on the matchups. I see him going off off

228
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: boards very late if he's drafted at all. I don't

229
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: believe he was drafted in our experts league today. But

230
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: the Cowboys outside of Zeke Marcus waste. It's bleak. It's

231
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: the tissue. Yeah, I mean, you know you've got you

232
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: got Michael Gallup, who's moving up the board. I feel

233
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: like we've sort of overlooked Alan Hearns because I still

234
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: think he will he will probably lead the team in targets,

235
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: but I know he's not he's not exciting. Um. You know,

236
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: Doc is a streaming option based on the matchup, but

237
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: I don't know how often he's gonna get drafted in

238
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: a lot of leagues. This is I mean, it's I

239
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: guess it's kind of sad because a couple of years

240
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: ago this team had so much promise. They were thirteen

241
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: and three and Zeke was a rookie, and it looked

242
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: like Doc was gonna be the next big thing, and

243
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: this offensive line was great. It I guess it goes

244
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: to show how quickly things fall apart. You're trying to

245
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: hurt You're trying to hurt me. I mean, look, I'm

246
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: not gonna trying to hurt me. I'm not gonna shed

247
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: any tears over the Cowboys falling apart. And I'm sure

248
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: that you know, Eddie here is a Giants fan, is

249
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: not going to shed any two all right, can we

250
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: go to a different Uh, well, I'm looking at I see,

251
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: I see kindall Right on this list is a guy

252
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: who got cut. Although it's been it's been a few

253
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: years since kindall Right I think had any real right

254
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: fantasy relevance there. How about Paxton Lynch? Okay, so you

255
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: know how they stay in fantasy football. Sometimes the best

256
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: trades are the ones you don't make. Going back to

257
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: my Cowboys, they were they were seriously looking at trade

258
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: up to get Lynch. Eventually we ended up with Doc

259
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: in the fourth round, But boy, imagine if the Cowboys

260
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: traded up to get Paxton Lynch and look what he's

261
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: turned into. I mean, the the Broncos brought in Kevin Hogan, right,

262
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: That's that's pretty bad. That that is bad. And and

263
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: Lynch is going to go down as one of the

264
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: bigger quarterback busts drafted in the first round in NFL history.

265
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: And uh, that's actually become quite a long list over

266
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: the last decade or Yeah, it's gotten I mean it's

267
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: gotten pretty bad trying to find quarterbacks in the draft.

268
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: So I go, but I look at this and I

269
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: think maybe maybe this is part of the reason why

270
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: I am kind of iffy on on Roy's Freeman. And

271
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: I know he looked good in the preseason, but if

272
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: we go back the last few years, John elways track

273
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: record in drafting players has been pretty bad. I mean,

274
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, and and who knows, maybe Freeman is the

275
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: guy to to break them out of that. But on

276
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: the future, Courtland Sutton also, yeah, I mean I like,

277
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: I like Courton Sutland's potential. I know a lot of

278
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: people are big on day Shawn Hamilton's but I mean

279
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: we're looking at you go back to the draft right

280
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: where they go Paxton Lynch, and then there's DeVante Booker

281
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: in that same draft, Like, uh so, I think it's

282
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: just I think it's that and it's my bias that

283
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: like I have to kind of work past. But just

284
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, Carlos Henderson has not panned out

285
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: for them. I mean, Jake but has been hurt, so

286
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: the jury still out on him. D'Angel Henderson just got cut.

287
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Chack Kelly was a seventh round pick and

288
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: he's you know, essentially their backup quarterback now. Yeah, And

289
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: what's funny too, is that are Ian Rappaport is reporting

290
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: that Paxton Lynch went through waivers unclaimed, shocking, and and

291
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: this is this is a national football league that is

292
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: lacking for quarterback talent. Yeah, although I've been saying this year,

293
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: this is the year that I think we've seen more

294
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: depth at the quarterback position across the league than than

295
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: in recent years, where you look at nearly every team

296
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: save except probably the Buffalo Bills, and there's at least

297
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: one guy on the roster that you can talk yourself into.

298
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: Do you know Nathan Peterman says nice things about you,

299
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: Marcus Peterman. Um, Yeah, I look, I enjoyed watching Nathan

300
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: Peterman play, but I didn't start him. And I'm not

301
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: a Bills fans, so I mean I was, I was

302
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: entertained start the Ravens defense. You know, like Maximus says,

303
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: are you not entertained? I was entertained absolutely. Um. So yeah,

304
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: this is you know, some of the big surprise cuts.

305
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: Of course, you know that means some roster shake ups

306
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: around your fantasy football league as we try to figure

307
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: some things out about you know, where to where to

308
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: go guys off the waiver wire to pick up guys

309
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: that maybe you might need to drop because you took

310
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: a flyer on one of these guys. Uh, some things,

311
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: uh to keep an eye on. Ever made p astronomy

312
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: at home? How about smoked salmon, slab, bacon, dut com feet.

313
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: It's easy to make all that and more right at

314
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: home with Jewel Suvy. Jewel makes it easy to try

315
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: cooking new recipes and cuts some meat at home because

316
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: there's zero guesswork and food is never under or overcooked.

317
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: Jewel heats food to the exact right temperature and holds

318
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: it there. Beef, poultry, pork, seafood, veggies, dessert. I mean

319
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: practically everything comes out exactly the way you like it.

320
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: Jewel also makes a great companion to your grill or smoker.

321
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: It separates the cooking step from the finishing steps, so

322
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: meats come out perfectly tender and juicy on the inside

323
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: and get that charred, crispy bark on the outside. And

324
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: it's easy to prepare these new recipes for a crowd.

325
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,560

Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts. Though there's been obviously

337
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: a ton of news since training camps in preseason have

338
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: wrapped up, and Uh, some of the big headlines we

339
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: talked about some of the cut some of the injuries U.

340
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: Jerick McKinnon was one that for fantasy folks kind of

341
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: has people twisted in knots him going down for the

342
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: year with the A C l um with with what's

343
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: left in that backfield? Now, I mean, how do things

344
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: shake out for the forty niners with no more Jerick McKinnon. Yeah,

345
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean I think I'm one of those guys that

346
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: you know, I had had McKinnon drafted pretty early, rode

347
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: him last year to the finals appearance in one of

348
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: my leagues, and you know, see him go down, Uh,

349
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: you know within a c Obviously it's difficult um personally

350
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: because he's a great player. Uh it seems a great

351
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: guy and fantasy wise obviously bad to you know, I'll

352
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: tell you. I mean everyone's talking about Matt bred up

353
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 1: based on what Alfred Morris looked like and kind of

354
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: what I hear, I wouldn't be supposed that Morris because

355
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: a ton of carriage to I mean, everyone's probably trying

356
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: to trade for Matt right and now unless you picked

357
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: him up smartly. But Alfred Morris is an interesting one

358
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: because Kyle Shanahan knows him, has has seen him have

359
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: some success and you know, certainly looked like he's got

360
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: some some juice left in his leg. I wouldn't sleep

361
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: on that one. Yeah, no doubt. I've actually been telling

362
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: people who asked me that Alfred Morris is the pickup

363
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: because he'll be the starter. Uh. And we're already hearing that. Uh.

364
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: And I think you're just confirming that you're going to

365
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: see a backfield committee. You know, Brad is gonna see

366
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: his time. But Morris basically goes from not even on

367
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: the radar to being a potential flex starter in Fantasy

368
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: League's tough matchup in Week one against the Minnesota Vikings.

369
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: Let's move on to Los Angeles now, where basically what

370
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: we all expected to happen happen did. Antonio Gates resigned

371
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: with the Chargers on a one year deal, one of

372
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: the greatest tight ends in the history of the league

373
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: and Fantasy foot ball. But Ian, what sort of role

374
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: do you expect him to play in this offense? Because

375
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: you know Gates, he's a little long in the two.

376
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: If he can't exactly do the things now that he

377
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: could do years ago. Yeah, I mean, to me, this

378
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: is all about the red zone, you know what I mean.

379
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: He's still big, he's still tall. He's never going to

380
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: be as fast as he was. Obviously almost forty years old.

381
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: He's not gonna play eight snaps a game. He's just not.

382
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: You know, this is one where if you play him,

383
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: then you say he needs to hit a touchdown. And

384
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: you know, one thing about Rivers loves similiarity. Um, he

385
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: loves his guys. I know this is something that Rivers

386
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: has wanted. And you know, I would expect him to

387
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: be someone that used not exclusively, but extensively in the

388
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: red zone. And you know if you if you play him,

389
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: then he's gonna have to score for you. Um. The

390
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: the Saints that a whole lot with their backfield, made

391
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: a lot of moves there. Mike Gillislee may or may

392
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: not end up there. I mean, beyond with with Mark

393
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: Ingram suspended for the first four games of the season,

394
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: is there somebody that's going to maybe pleabot Alvin Kamara

395
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: back there or this Aints is gonna run with their

396
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: their second year back. Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't think

397
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: Camara is going to be Camara is going to be

398
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: a every down back, you know. I mean, it's obviously

399
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: gonna be used a lot. But um, you know, gillessly

400
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: Is is an interesting pickup and you know I definitely

401
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: picked him up in one of my leagues yesterday. Um,

402
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: he's had a lot of success console out of favor

403
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: in New England, never quite got the touches. But remember

404
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: with the Bills, I mean he was he was a force.

405
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: Um you know, I would think on first and second

406
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: down especially, he's going to get some carries and what

407
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: he does with them, We'll see you know a few

408
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: people whose good job is getting guys in space with

409
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, So I would think he's gonna be productive.

410
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: I really would. Now. I did see that you tweeted

411
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: out that you added Gillislee to your fantasy football team.

412
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: I love seeing those tweets from you, route because I

413
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: love the fact that you're bringing in the fantasy football

414
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: aspect into your into your recording. Look, I'm just trying

415
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: to win, my friend. We are all trying to win.

416
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: So we we saw a for today about the Broncos

417
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: and Royce Freeman. Can you give us a little bit

418
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: on that situation, because Royce Freeman is a guy who

419
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: was really moving up a DP lists and fantasy drafts

420
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: here as we get close to week one. Yeah, I

421
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: mean I think you know, Royce Freeman is is a

422
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: guy who you know early on in camp. Um, you know,

423
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: early on in camp, I think it was pretty clear

424
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: that this was a guy who was going to take

425
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: the starting role. And they were you know, you get

426
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: a draft pick, you get him in your building, and

427
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: you can tell right away what the team thinks from

428
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: I think they were so happy to get him. Um,

429
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: they think he's going to be the every down, big

430
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: time running back. They kind of saw it ever since

431
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: they felt compelled to sign C. J. Anderson. Um, I

432
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: would expect big things from him in Denver. I mean

433
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: just early returns. They're really happy. Yeah, you know, uh,

434
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: we have our draft here a little bit uh later tonight,

435
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: and I am certainly going to be looking to draft

436
00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: Freeman again. You are fifth overall in our draft often

437
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: and I run this talent league. Scott Hanson's the defending champion,

438
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: and it's always a lot of fun. You're in it.

439
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: Lindsay Rhodes in it, Amertheo Harris is in it. Uh,

440
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: Dan Helly, A lot of guys, Daniel Jeremiah, fifth overall pick.

441
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: Who are you targeting? Ian I'm gonna try to get

442
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: Tom Brady for the third year as someone who's in

443
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: the league. I hope you do that in round one,

444
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: maybe pick Aaron Rodgers and trying not to trade him

445
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: like I did last year. So do you think you'll

446
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: be looking at his se Quon Barkley and Alvin Kamara?

447
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: Would you go Antonio Brown? There? This is a PPR

448
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: league sort of what is your strategy for that day?

449
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: We'll see who's there and I gotta run in a second,

462
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: so Zeke Elliott with the five thick I have a

463
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: feeling he's not gonna get him. There, He's not gonna

464
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: get him. But if he does, uh had stranger things

465
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: have happened. He went number one in our Experts League draft.

466
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: Maybe he drops to five. Maybe somebody the top four

467
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: takes Antonio Brown. We'll see what happens. I draft a

468
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: little bit later in the first round, so I clearly

469
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: will not be getting Zeke Zeke Elliott. For you there,

510
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: And we had our draft last week. Now, now quick

511
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: story before we beginning at the draft results. MMS was

512
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: not there in person in l A at Jerry's house.

513
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: He was in Toronto at an autograph signing while drafting

514
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: not one, but two different fantasy football teams at the

515
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: same time. Is how did you do that? On app?

516
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: Mind you by the way, And I wasn't just autograph

517
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: So I was at the Fan Expo in Toronto and

518
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: I was doing an autograph signing, taking pictures as well

519
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: as doing a Q and A. So during this whole thing,

520
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: because you guys couldn't postpone your draft, I had to

521
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: do it during my signing, then I had to do

522
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: it during my photos, then I had to do it

523
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: during a Q and A. So while everyone's asking me questions,

524
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, hold on one second, I'm up. All you

525
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: hear is you know on deck? What I'd like to

526
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: know is did you mistakenly signed Todd Gurley's name on

527
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: someone's piece of paper in front of you when you

528
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: had to draft him? No, I knew exactly who I wanted. Um,

529
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: I knew my first pick was Girley. My second would

530
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: have been Bell. Uh. Number three would have been David Johnson,

531
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: number four, Elliott number five, segua, So that was my order.

532
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: I knew that going in, so I knew I I

533
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: did either Girley or Bell. So I was actually really

534
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: psyched because Girly has been my number one the whole time,

535
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: so I was actually shocked to he was that number two. Well,

536
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking at your roster here and for a guy

537
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: who was you know, certainly multitasking this thing is pretty strong.

538
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: But I have one question. You went obviously there is

539
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: a speculative Dez Bryant. So you're are you hoping he

540
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: lands somewhere maybe the Browns, maybe somewhere else at some point.

541
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: And it was it was the last pick. Last figure

542
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: was like, we're a last pig. I was like, you

543
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 1: know what, I'll take a long shot on des Briant,

544
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: you know, and when he gets a team, he will

545
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: be at least a wide receiver. Three. I mean, we're

546
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: talking about this Bryan here, you know. I mean, the

547
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: guy is a factor no matter where you are. So

548
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: I'll think I'll tak a slink. I'll take a shot

549
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: at it, you know, why not? And let's go through

550
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: your first five picks. Todd Gurley round one, Davanta Freeman

551
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: in round two, so you went running back, running back.

552
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: Then you get Davante Adams in round three, which is

553
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: a great value, Doug Baldwin in round four, and then

554
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry in around five. Was there a bit of

555
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: Homerism with that pick? Or do you really like Jarvis

556
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: Landry that much of this season? As soon as I

557
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: saw him on a hard knocks give it that speech,

558
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: that wide receiver's room. That was my favorite football player.

559
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: Of all time, like he became automatic. I was, I

560
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: was in awe, I was wow. And the thing about

561
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: it is that is exactly what happens to a locker room.

562
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: If you have a lazy person on your on your game,

563
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: or a person that's always heard or anything like that,

564
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: it will ruin a locker room. It's for any sport.

565
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: And it is so true, like I've watched, and I've

566
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: watched it happen many times, and so to sit there

567
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 1: and see a guy step up, say listen, it's contagious.

568
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: And as much as they made fun of it, it

569
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: was funny, uh, it's still it still rings true. And

570
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: I love the speech. I love his work ethic, I

571
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: love his hardcore nice and I think he brings a

572
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: new attitude to the Cleveland Browns. And I honestly believe,

573
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: truly believe that we're gonna be at eight and eight,

574
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: nine and seven team. We may even make the playoffs.

575
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you about that. I was gonna

576
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: ask you about that because you know, obviously the the

577
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 1: hard Knocks hype is real with this team, but there

578
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: are legitimate pieces there, whether it's you know, Tad or

579
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield Old if you know you have the wide

580
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 1: receivers there. This is not this is not the same

581
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown's team we've seen the last couple of years.

582
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: You have to be optimistic about this group. And you

583
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: cannot give all the credit to Dorsey. Sashi Brown set

584
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: that team up for year three with a lot of picks.

585
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: Now Dorsey got those picks. He brought in Jarvis Landry,

586
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: He gave the offense playmakers with Carlos Hide, bringing in

587
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: a drafted Nick Chubb, you know, Duke Johnson Jr. And

588
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: a joke who had tight end who, by the way,

589
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: is my sleeper this year or was my sleeper because

590
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: I feel like everybody is on in the joking train

591
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: because every draft I have been in he has been

592
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: He was like my tenth pick. I would say, like

593
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,239
Speaker 1: tenth round was where I had him. But he's been

594
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: going eight seven, six, I've been seeing him go early lately.

595
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: So I've actually got our draft right up here on

596
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: my computer screen. And you took in Joku in the

597
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: seventh round, ahead ahead of Jimmy Graham. Do you like

598
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: in Joeku that much? Obviously you do, and what would

599
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: your projections for in Joe Kubi? This season. Look, I

600
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: think that you need to be the person if you

601
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: want to win your fantasy football league, you need to

602
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: be the person that finds the players that haven't fussed,

603
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: that haven't unbroke out already. You need to find those players.

604
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham broke out years ago. Now, Brandy, he's on

605
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: a new team. He's with Aaron Rodgers. But to be honest,

606
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers always finds people that that that aren't

607
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: necessarily a tight end. I mean, I haven't seen a

608
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: tight end that's been very good on the on the

609
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: Packers in a long long time. Now. None of them

610
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: had the talent that Jimmy Graham has. But Jimmy Graham's

611
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: heyday was about four year or five years ago. So

612
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm looking at a person that's that has potential to

613
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: have a red zone target, has potential to be on

614
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: the field. And I have a new quarterback in a

615
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: new system that loves to throw to the tight end.

616
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: You know, I'm looking at this roster and I see

617
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: I see Celan Cole there right, and and this isn't

618
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: The Jaguars wide receiver group was sort of a mystery.

619
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: Marquis lead getting hurt certainly changes some things there. Tell me,

620
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: what what do you love about Keeling Cold? Is there

621
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: anything particular that that made him stand out to you?

622
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: I think it's the Marquis League getting injured. Um. I

623
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna be a wide receiver one for them. Um.

624
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: I think Mark Easley is a hell of a talent.

625
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: But now you've got to look at these other wide

626
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: receivers and the Jacksonville jack Wires always know how to

627
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: find those those amazing wide receivers. I mean, look at

628
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: Alan Heren, Alan Robinson. Granted, Alan Robinson didn't have a

629
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: great deal last year, but I bet you this year

630
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: for the Chicago Bears, Allen Robins is gonna be a

631
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: w R one. You know, Drabinsky needs someone to throw too,

632
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna be the guy. So you

633
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: did very well in this draft. It's unfortunate now you'll

634
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: start the season oh and one because you're playing me

635
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: in week one. But let's move on to the Let's

636
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: how about this. Go for it, Go through your roster,

637
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: go through my roster, and let's see. Okay, let's see

638
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: what everyone else thinks. All right, Marcus, We'll let Marcus

639
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: be the judge. Jury and executioner. Here my roster. Round one,

640
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: David Johnson, Round two, Dalvin Cook, Steffin, go go quarryback

641
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: for quarterback, running back for running back, running back for

642
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: running back Wat And then he'll just basically say quarterback,

643
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna write, I'm writing these down. You are. You

644
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: are just going to make his life easier. But I

645
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: will do that for you. Deshaun Watson versus Kirk Cousins, Marcus,

646
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the winner is Watson. But okay,

647
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: David Johnson versus Todd Gurley, Okay, I'm on against the

648
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: San Francisco defense. You're gonna think Cousins is not gonna

649
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: be No, No, I'm thinking I want Well, here's the

650
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: two things. One, I love Kirk Cousin season long too.

651
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: How early did you have to draft DeShawn Watson? Fabs

652
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: he was the seventh round pick? What up to Mr?

653
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: Wait until double digit? Broad? This is this is this

654
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: because there's always a Marcus and if a guy like

655
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: Watson or Russell Wilson is available in the seventh round,

656
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: then I call an audible And that's what I did

657
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,959
Speaker 1: in this draft. All right, So David Johnson versus Gurley

658
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: I think that's a wash. Curly. Maybe it's a little

659
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: bit of the advantage playing against the Raiders Dalvin Cook

660
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: Devanta Freeman. I think that's pretty close. That's a wash

661
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: to me. I mean, I know Cook, I like his upside,

662
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: but I still think his ceiling is kind of close

663
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: to where where here's the problem with that. I deal

664
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: with Cook, and I know he's done with guzins that

665
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: that old line was not very good in UH in

666
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: the preseason. And I don't know how Dalvin Cook will

667
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: be like David Murray looks pretty good. Yeah, so it'll

668
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: be interesting to see. But let's face that Dalvin Cook

669
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: is a beast. So you know, I think that it's

670
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: gonna be good. But also you know that Falcons I

671
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: think are going to be the most friendly with UM.

672
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: I think fantasy points this year. Well, we'll go down

673
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: to the wide receivers and you might have me here.

674
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: We'll see I've got Stefon Diggs. He's got Davanta Adams.

675
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: This is one my two. His golden tate. Mike's two

676
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: is Doug Baldwin. I think he wins. Mike wins on

677
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: my own wide receiver. He's got that one. I would

678
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: agree with that. At tight end, this is a landslide

679
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: win for me. Zach Ertz and in Joko, Yeah, I

680
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: mean you win, you win the tight end. Now here's

681
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: the one I'm not I'm not sure about that. This

682
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: year fast year was his year, But for the past

683
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: two years before that, how many touchdowns did he have?

684
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: The past two years before that? Two years not last year,

685
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: the years before that. The past is the past, my friend.

686
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: And last year he was one of the best tight

687
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: ends in fantasy football. And how many did he have

688
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: last season? That's right, That's right. And remember no no

689
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: Alishan Jeffrey. In a week one, he's gonna be targeted

690
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: a ton Alright, Flex, now you need to be the

691
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: guy that finds the guy that is going to be

692
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: the breakout star, not the guy that had it last year.

693
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: You know they're thinking in the past. You need to

694
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: think towards the future. My friend was actually my breakout

695
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: list last season. So at the flex starter position, I'm

696
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: not sure who I'm gonna play yet, but right now

697
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: I have Josh Gordon is my flex and Mike has

698
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry. I mean I'm gonna go with I'm gonna

699
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: go with Landry because we know for sure how much

700
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 1: he's going to play. Gordon is not gonna start at

701
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,479
Speaker 1: least we Yeah, I may be subbing in Jamal Williams

702
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: or Robby Anderson or Rex Burke. We'll see what happens. Defense,

703
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: I've got the Ravens, which means I win because they're

704
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: playing Buffalo and Nate throw six interceptions in the game

705
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 1: Peterman at five, But against the Texans, well, no, he's

706
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: gonna have six this week Texans. I mean, I think

707
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, no chance for the for week one,

708
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: probably you, But for the season, I'm going with to Texans.

709
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: Should we even consider the kickers? Justin Tuckway and no, no,

710
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: I think that. I'm just saying the Ravens are better

711
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: option for the for week one. Defensively, for the season,

712
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: the Texans are a better option, all right, Marcus, go ahead,

713
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,479
Speaker 1: you can side with them? Is It's fine? I mean

714
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: that's a close call. So much of itatering. If if

715
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: if Cousins is a top five guy the way I

716
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: think he can be, then I think I think Mike's

717
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: got a better team overall. Um, If if Cousins is

718
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: somewhere in the back half of that top ten, then

719
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: I think you win. But yeah, it's it really. Week

720
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: one is gonna be interesting. I think it's gonna be

721
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: a coin flip between you guys. Yeah, two very strong

722
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,959
Speaker 1: team teams. Mike, I know you don't want to admit

723
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: that my team is solid. I'm the defending champion in

724
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: this league. I just think I beat you every year. Hey,

725
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: So so now let's move on. We know in Major

726
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: League Baseball that every clubhouse has a fantasy football league.

727
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: W w E's slacker room also has a fantasy football league.

728
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 1: Tell us about that league, and tell us who's involved

729
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: in that league besides yourself? And I know Curtis actually

730
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: is in that league as well. Yeah, that league is

731
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 1: uh with quite a bit of people. Actually, I can't even, honestly,

732
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,479
Speaker 1: to be completely honest with you, I can't remember who's

733
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: all it. I know Kobe is in it. Want a

734
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 1: few times? I've wanted a few times. Uh, Wade Barrett,

735
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: we're bringing back some mold school people. Nice. Um, yeah,

736
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: we have flaggers in it. Um? Who else is in it?

737
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: Eric Young? Okay? Oh yeah, Eric's a big fantasy football gy.

738
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: So how many times have you won this league? How

739
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: many times? Have you won this league? How many times?

740
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 1: I think once or twice, I can't remember. Probably twice.

741
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: And it's been going on for a while now, right,

742
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: that is correct. We've been doing it probably like seven years,

743
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: eight years maybe, Yeah, Marcus, I tried to sneak my

744
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: way into this league. I'm neither good looking enough, nor

745
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: strong enough nor big enough to be a part of

746
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: this league. W w E Superstar. Well, Mike, appreciate you

Speaker 1: as hell on the cell. Coming up in uh I

763
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: believe to Sundays um Or myself and my wife will

764
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: be digging on Daniel Bryan and beautiful that is. That

765
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: is a great matchup, in a matchup that is going

766
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: to be well worth watching. Mike, thanks so much for

767
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: joining us, and I know that you will be on

768
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: more than your share of times during the course of

769
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: the regular season. And I wish you good luck in

770
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: the A I C League this week. But what do

771
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 1: you think of Rivers this year? I've been getting him

772
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: like the Rown is my QB one. I like it

773
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: and I like it. They brought back Antonio Gates, another

774
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: red zone option. Rivers is always underrated in fantasy. Maybe

775
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,240
Speaker 1: it's part of the reason because of the quarterback position

776
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: is so deep. But I will tell you this right now,

777
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: playing against Kids A City in Week one, Rivers is

778
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: potentially a top ten start at the position because that

779
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: chief secondary is a mess right now. So if you

780
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: have Philip Rivers, that is a good play in Week one.

781
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: I can promise you that I got I got Rivers

782
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: and a lot of my lady reminds me of Romo.

783
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: Like Romo was always that underdog, a one really took

784
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: um and he was always a fantasy stud always. Yeah,

785
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: and last year was was one of his best. So

786
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: good call there on Philip Rivers, no question, and I

787
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: would start him this week. Alright, alright, alright, but take care.

788
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: The weight is nearly over. Football is almost here, which

789
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: means it's fantasy football season and Fan Duel has never

Speaker 1: been more fun or easy to play. If you're not

791
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: a fantasy expert, then FanDuel is clearly the place to play.

810
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,240
Speaker 1: He had his w W E draft. We also had

811
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: on Monday our NFL Fantasy Live League Draft. It uh

812
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,760
Speaker 1: a ten team league PPR, A couple of new editions.

813
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: Dave Damma Check I Guess makes his return to the

814
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: league and then Mark is Took is in the league

815
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: for the first time. So a quick rundown the draft order.

816
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: Cynthia Freeland was one. I was at to Elliott Harrison

817
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: at three. Fabs, you were at four, Matt money Smith

818
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: at five, Maurice Jones Drew at six, Barbosa at seven,

819
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: defending champ Adam Rank at eight, and then doesn't mentioned

820
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 1: Damna check and then is took um. I will say

821
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: this for me a little bit of a surprise off

822
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: the bat that that Cynthia went with Ezekiel Elliott at

823
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: the number one overall spot. That I was expecting a

824
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley or a Levian Bell, So for her to

825
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: go Zeke, I have to been. It had me a

826
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: little bit shook at the top of the draft, a

827
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: little bit, but I can see it. I wouldn't be

828
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: surprised to see any one of the top four running

829
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: backs go number one overall. And Zeke is talented, He's

830
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: a volume play. I get there's question marks now with

831
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 1: the offensive line in Dallas, as there's question marks with

832
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: seemingly everything on that roster at this point. But one

833
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: thing we know for sure is that Ezekiel Elliott is

834
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: going to eat. He is going to see his twenty

835
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: plus touches every single week, and you know, Marcus. In

836
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: the preseason, we've also heard that they're potentially gonna align

837
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: Zeke up in the slot, give him some more opportunities

838
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: as a pass catcher, and make him a more complete

839
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: fantasy bat at the same time, because maybe the one

840
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: big bugaboo about him was that he didn't catch the

841
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,439
Speaker 1: ball as much as say David Johnson or a Todd

842
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: Gurley or a Levian Bell. I was a little surprised,

843
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: but I am not going to question that pick because

844
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't like she took Dalvin Cook number one overall,

845
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: or Leonard for Net number one overall, Christian McCaffrey number

846
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: one overall. Zeke is still win a heck of a player. No,

847
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: you're right, You're absolutely right. You know, I've seen some

848
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 1: conversation understandably that there is concerned. I mean, the offensive

849
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: line has been banged up, you know, Frederick it looks

850
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: like he's gonna be gone this year, that there's some

851
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: issues there along that line. So, but you're right, there's

852
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: gonna be plenty of opportunity. But I would tell you that,

853
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: like I almost I was. I was sort of have

854
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: expecting her to take Todd Gurley at number one, and

855
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: then I was gonna take David Johnson until then Gurley

856
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: fortunately falls to me at two. So you love it,

857
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: which I'm not. I'm not that upset about Bell falls

858
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: to you at number four. And I know I feel like,

859
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like part of it, I mean,

860
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: it certainly is possible, but I do think part of

861
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: it is that when we started the draft, the news

862
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: had just broken that Leve Bell was not there for

863
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 1: practice on Monday. I'm concerned, but I couldn't pass on him. Now.

864
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: There's there's some scenarios out there that if you're a

865
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: fantasy owner like we are, and maybe you have a

866
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: Levion Bell and some of your teams that you don't

867
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: want to hear and so I'm not gonna bring him up.

868
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: We're just hoping that he is in the backfield for

869
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers when they line up against the Cleveland Browns

870
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: this week. As a fantasy owner who clearly paid attention

871
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: last season to how he started, I am not really

872
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: looking for huge numbers from Bell to begin the season.

873
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: Why no preseason, no training camp. I get it. He's

874
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: been working out on his own last year. His first

875
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: two games were not good. Cleveland really held him down.

876
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,240
Speaker 1: His touches were limited in that game. I would expect

877
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: the same thing to happen again. But these are the

878
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: reasons I like Levian Bell. Versatility and he catches the season.

879
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: A guy who's gonna give you right around two thousand

880
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: scrimmage yards this season, a guy who's gonna give you

881
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: double digit touchdowns every single season. And no, by the way,

882
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: Levian Bill is basically in a contract year now he's

883
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: been franchised twice. He is going out there and he

884
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: is playing for a big contract in twenty nineteen, and

885
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers have Super Bowl aspirations. And you can't

886
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: tell me that this team is not gonna run him.

887
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: Maybe not into the ground, Marcus, but they're gonna come

888
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 1: pretty close. Levian Bell, upon his return, is going to

889
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: see a lot of work. We just don't know when

890
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 1: that return is. And that's where it's a little bit scary. Yeah,

891
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: I mean that that part, that part concerns me. I've

892
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: been saying that I'm I'm kind of watching and I

893
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: haven't drafted Levian Bell anywhere, partially because I haven't had

894
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 1: high enough draft picks and some leaks to have a

895
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: shot at him, but also um because I've been on

896
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley. But I've been using this sort of as

897
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: a test case. I'm watching the Steelers because I'm curious

898
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: to see, if you know, if they start to work

899
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: in James Connor more and not that not that it's

900
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:55,919
Speaker 1: going to be a time share. I'm not worried about

901
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: this being some kind of two headed monster back there.

902
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 1: This is still Levian's backfield. But I am curious if

903
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: if it is that these two sides are done with

904
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 1: one another, if there really is the breakup happening, do

905
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 1: the Steelers take some opportunities maybe midway through the season

906
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: or late in the season, if they have a playoff

907
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: spot wrapped up, to kind of rest Levan and get

908
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: James Conner some work and see what they've got going. So, um,

909
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: I think it's an interesting I think it's just an

910
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,479
Speaker 1: interesting experiment to kind of see because again I don't

911
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: have any shares of Levian Bell anywhere. Um, I can

912
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 1: kind of watch this and like watch when he doesn't

913
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: play for four weeks or to be like entertained and

914
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: like kind of take notes on this thing. So you know,

915
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't have him in our dynasty league, and I

916
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: have him in two other redrafts. So now one of

917
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 1: the things that you should be doing, and I tried

918
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: to do it in the draft and Akbar snaked me,

919
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: is get James Conner, and James Conner is moving up

920
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: in terms of ADP in the big boy leagues. And

921
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: I was in the twelfth round. I was ready to

922
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: take a Marcus. I had my Well, we had a

923
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: little bit of a hiccup with the draft, but I

924
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: didn't have my end on the button to draft him,

925
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: but I was ready to call his name out and

926
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: Akbar took him, which was a smart move on his part.

927
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: I ended up drafting balal Pal there. But one cannot

928
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 1: sort of look at the situation and not compare it

929
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: to what D'Angelo Williams did when Levian Bell was out

930
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: a couple of seasons ago, and D'Angelo Williams was amazing

931
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 1: in that role as the featured back for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

932
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: I am not saying that James Connor can do the

933
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: same thing, but the opportunity could potentially be there if

934
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 1: le Vian Bell does hold out longer than we all expect,

935
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: or if Levian Bell is injured during the course of

936
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 1: the regular season suddenly, James Connor could end up being

937
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: a league winner. With that being said, the twelve or

938
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 1: thirteenth round is probably about as high as I try

939
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 1: and take him, especially in a ten team league, because

940
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot of good running backs

941
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: available later than there would be in a twelve team

942
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: league or deeper. But Connor needs to be drafted in

943
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: all fantasy leagues, even if it's not by the own

944
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: or who drafts Levy on Bell. Yeah, he's gonna be

945
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: if if you haven't drafted yet, he's a guy you

946
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: should target late in your draft if you have drafted yet,

947
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a guy that's flying off the waiver wire,

948
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: especially if we get to Tuesday or Wednesday and there's

949
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,720
Speaker 1: still no sign of Levian Bell showing up in practice,

950
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: because it's hard to imagine he gets on for week one.

951
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,919
Speaker 1: I mean, look, facts is facts. This is the possibility

952
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: that that he may not be on the field for

953
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: week one. It's just something you kind of have to

954
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,399
Speaker 1: prepare for. Um. Looking at this draft though that we did,

955
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: you know, I'm trying to think of any any reaches

956
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: I thought. At first, I thought Dave Damask getting Dalvin

957
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: Cook in the first round was a reach. But he

958
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 1: came back around. He was a ninth pick and ten team,

959
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: so he came back at nine and then at twelve

960
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,839
Speaker 1: and he got Leonard four Nette and so that yep,

961
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: so basically right, So four Nete was his first round

962
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: or Dalvin was the second rounder, didn't matter. So it

963
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: ended up working. It worked out okay, because at first

964
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: I was like wow, that and I like I like that,

965
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: but first round seemed a little rich for me, So

966
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:01,280
Speaker 1: the four net picks sort of ease that. UM loved

967
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: Cynthia getting Jordan Howard in the top of the third round.

968
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: I thought that was amazing. And so because I've been

969
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: saying that Jordan Howard's gonna end up with somebody's RB

970
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 1: two and put up RB one numbers and somebody's gonna

971
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: be loving life, and I think potentially that person is

972
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: gonna be Cynthia Freedland. And Howard has been underrated. People

973
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: always say he can't catch the ball. He can't, but

974
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't He was RB nine in PPR leagues as

975
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,280
Speaker 1: a rookie. He was the RB four teen in PPR

976
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: leagues last season. That's pretty darn good. And we're hearing

977
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 1: Matt nag you say, Jordan Howard's a three down back.

978
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna be on the field. So what are they

979
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: gonna do with ricohen Marcus. They're gonna line him out

980
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: in the slot. They're gonna get him available in in space,

981
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 1: let him make plays. He's a small dude. He's actually

982
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: smaller than I am, which that's that's that's not the

983
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: case for most NFL players. Uh, I think I have

984
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: more stars to by this much. By this much, I

985
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: think I got him. But Tarikohen is not a featured back.

986
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: He's not going to be a featured back. He's going

987
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: to be sort of, you know, the their Swiss army

988
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: knife as you like to say, in this offense. And

989
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard is a guy who has had two extremely

990
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: productive seasons in the National Football League to begin his career.

991
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: So getting him in the third round to me is

992
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: a very good value. Don't underestimate Joe Hoo because of

993
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: the talk of Terry Cohen getting more looks, because those

994
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: looks are likely going to becoming as a receiver potentially

995
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 1: lined up in the slot, not out of the not

996
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: out of the backfield. He is not going to see

997
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: a lot of carries, and certainly not enough carries to

998
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: put it then into Johoes touches. I'll tell you what though,

999
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 1: even if Cynthia hadn't grabbed him at the top of

1000
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 1: the third round, he wasn't getting past me. He was

1001
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: gonna go early third round one way or a. Now

1002
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: that I ended up going with Adam Feeland once once, George,

1003
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 1: so I have a question for you there too. Because

1004
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,919
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs was still on the board. And that's sort

1005
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: of like a point of contention in fantasy which Vikings

1006
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver to you draft? Is it Diggs? Is it feeling?

1007
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: So I'd love to hear what you were thinking about

1008
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: at that point. I mean, I just think Theeeland is

1009
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: going to be the more targeted guy. I I like

1010
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs. I think this is a huge season for him.

1011
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: In fact, if you know, if he had somehow been there,

1012
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: uh in the fourth round, which he was at Bar

1013
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 1: got him late third, I wouldn't have minded doubling up

1014
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: on the Vikings receivers. I think both those guys will

1015
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: find a way to eat. I just think Digs is

1016
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: more of the big play guy. He's kind of the

1017
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: the you know, the long the long play, I guess

1018
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: if you will um feeling, I mean catches last year

1019
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: twelve hundred yards, you know, and I don't see why

1020
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: he can't come close to those numbers again this year.

1021
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: I would like for more touchdowns, more than the four

1022
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: he had last season. But overall, man, I mean just

1023
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: things are trending up for Adam Field, and overall, that

1024
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 1: second round kind of went chalk right. We saw more

1025
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: wide receivers go in the second round, more running backs

1026
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: go in the first round, and then in the third

1027
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: round is where it got interesting, where you started to

1028
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: see some tight ends. Now, I did something that I

1029
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: almost never do. Okay, I decided I'm going to call

1030
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: an audible here. I almost never draft a tight end

1031
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: with one of my first four or five picks. Almost never.

1032
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 1: But Gronkowski was there, and I'm thinking I could potentially

1033
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: have the number one running back in fantasy football, and

1034
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: I could potentially have the number one tight end and

1035
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: fantasy football. So I went ahead and did that. And

1036
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 1: part of it was because it's a ten team league,

1037
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: so there's more depth throughout the course of the draft.

1038
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 1: So I went and grabbed him. He was the first

1039
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 1: tight end off the ball. Now, Dave Damnascheck Marcus shocked

1040
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: everybody and took zach Ertz when Travis Kelsey was still available.

1041
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,240
Speaker 1: In fact, Travis Kelsey didn't come off the board until

1042
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: a couple of picks later. So zach Ertz over Travis Kelsey.

1043
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 1: I think Kelsey is your number one tight end? Is

1044
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: he not? He is? And I almost took him in

1045
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: the third round. I thought about taking him there. I

1046
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: felt like, that's a little bit too early for me

1047
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: to go tight end um. Plus, I really was gonna

1048
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: try and hold out to see if I could get

1049
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham at the end of the fourth or start

1050
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: of the fifth, but Akbar kind of put that to

1051
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: bed when he took Graham. That's kind of a reach

1052
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: though for me, when you take a guy with the

1053
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: fourth pick in the fourth round, and as much as

1054
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:55,439
Speaker 1: I love ak that's that seems like a reach to me. Yeah,

1055
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 1: ideally I would selling this, and it didn't. It ended

1056
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: up not happening because of the way the the fourth

1057
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: round set up before it got to me. Um my plan,

1058
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 1: and even with Davante Adams as my number two overall pick,

1059
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: I was going to kind of go. I was gonna

1060
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: go Aaron Rodgers in round four and then get Jimmy

1061
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: Graham on the turn in round five, and Aaron Rodgers

1062
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: instead ended up going to Matt Money, which was not

1063
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: a surprise because he's almost always the guy who takes

1064
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 1: that quarterback first in these drafts, So I mean it

1065
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: didn't shock me. Ackbard taking Jimmy Graham sort of sort

1066
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: of grinds my gears a little bit because I was

1067
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: really weight. I was really waiting for him to come

1068
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: to me, and it just didn't quite happen. So that

1069
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: was that was kind of one um looking sort of

1070
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 1: later on in the draft, because you know, kind of

1071
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 1: the mid rounds gets a little bit hazy. I mean

1072
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 1: guys like Chris Carson and and and Jamal Williams coming

1073
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: off the board in the eighth round. But a little

1074
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: bit later right when you start to get to those

1075
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: double digit rounds and things get a little bit kind

1076
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 1: of more speculative, right, Um, John Ross Ackbard took John

1077
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 1: Ross in the eleventh round. That's one I keep trying

1078
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: to talk myself into John on Ross, and so far

1079
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: I have not been able to do with this office

1080
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: well because we we haven't seen much of anything from

1081
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: him at the pro level. He had that one spectacular

1082
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: play in the preseason and suddenly he is now a

1083
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: thing where he's on the late round radar. And when

1084
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: they cut Brandon LaFell, suddenly he had a clearer path

1085
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: to the number two spot on that depth chart in Cincinnati.

1086
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: And the Begel should be better offensively because the offensive

1087
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: line should be better. They made some additions to the

1088
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: old line through the draft, Cordy Glenn that are going

1089
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: to help that offense overall. That's part of the reason

1090
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 1: why I like Joe Mixon a breakout this year. But

1091
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 1: in a ten team league, taking John Ross in the

1092
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: eleventh round, you know, I'm sort of on board with you.

1093
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 1: There are other players that I would have preferred to take,

1094
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 1: like a Chris Godwin for example, who I really like,

1095
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 1: I think is a very good sleeper this season. Um

1096
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, Healing Cole was drafted right around that same area.

1097
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: I would have taken him ahead of him there. So

1098
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 1: there are some players in that in that sort of

1099
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: eleventh or twelfth round at the wide receiver position. Mike

1100
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,439
Speaker 1: Williams is another player who I really like. You could

1101
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 1: talk about Kenny Galladay as well, but we'll see. We'll

1102
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 1: see what happens. The Bengals often should be better. I

1103
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: just don't know that that John Ross is going to

1104
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: be a guy who you're going to be leaning on

1105
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 1: weekend and week out in your fantasy lineup. You mentioned

1106
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, uh Money Matt money Smith, who was also

1107
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: the voice of the Los Angeles Chargers with three straight

1108
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 1: Chargers rounds eleven, twelve, and thirteen, Mike Williams, Austin Ekeler,

1109
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: and any Chargers defense. I don't really have any analysis

1110
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: on other than to say that, you know, because Money's

1111
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 1: gonna you know, he's seen these guys. He's seen these

1112
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: guys a lot more than week. We always it would

1113
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 1: always be a shock if Money didn't draft at least

1114
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 1: one Charger these days. And he ended up getting Melvin

1115
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 1: Gordon in the first round, and that was a heck

1116
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: of a value. I no second second, A long way.

1117
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: That would have changed my whole draft approach. If Gordon

1118
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 1: fell to me and I picked right after Money took Gordon,

1119
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: I would have took Gordon there, and then everything would

1120
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: have changed for me. I wouldn't have taken Grondkowski. I

1121
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:58,439
Speaker 1: would have taken a wide receiver with my next pick.

1122
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: It's sort of it's sort of funny, how you know,

1123
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 1: these just little things in a draft. Sometimes you have

1124
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:05,919
Speaker 1: to sort of you know, change your mind on the fly,

1125
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: and audible life comes at you fast. And that was

1126
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 1: a great pig for Money because Gordon is a guy

1127
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 1: that I feel like, I don't know why a lot

1128
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: of people just they undervalue him. Well, I mean, he

1129
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,879
Speaker 1: does his score fantasy points well, because the biggest reason

1130
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: is he's just not an efficient player and and the

1131
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: reason he he has been successful is because of volume.

1132
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: And I mean, look, you can't knock that because they

1133
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 1: keep giving him the football. So as long as that happens,

1134
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 1: he's worth drafting. I think people are concerned that at

1135
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: some point somebody else kind of starts eating into that,

1136
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 1: that maybe Austin Ekeler eats into that. I mean, this

1137
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: is a guy who hasn't He's averaged fewer than four

1138
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: yards per carry so far every season of his career.

1139
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 1: So I just think that that people look at his

1140
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 1: efficiency numbers and the fact that he needs he literally

1141
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 1: does need like twenty five carries a game to be productive,

1142
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: and I think I think that's that's the fear with

1143
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 1: Melvin also a good pass catcher too, um in round thirteen,

1144
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 1: a player that I think could end up being a

1145
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: steel But he is the biggest IF in fantasy football,

1146
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: and he has been the biggest IF in fantasy football

1147
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 1: for the last couple of seasons. And that's Jordan Read. Now,

1148
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 1: from what my sources are telling me, that offense is

1149
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: going to run through Jordan Read. Okay, that passing game

1150
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 1: is gonna run through Jordan Read. They don't have a

1151
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver on that roster. Jamison Crowd is

1152
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 1: not a number one. Josh Dockson is not a number one.

1153
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: Richardson's not a number one. And if we Read can

1154
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,280
Speaker 1: stay healthy, and it's the biggest if in fantasy football,

1155
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 1: I get it. But if you can get Jordan Read

1156
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,399
Speaker 1: after the tenth or eleventh round as your tight end one,

1157
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: while he's entering the season healthy, he could end up

1158
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 1: putting up very good numbers for you. And he was

1159
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:41,240
Speaker 1: the thirteenth round pick of Elliott Harrison. And I really think,

1160
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: even though Elliott took Greg Olsen earlier in the draft,

1161
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 1: that Jordan Reid could end up slotting in as a

1162
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 1: weekly flex starter because we have two flex positions in

1163
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 1: this in this league, and he could end up helping

1164
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: Elliott and a lot of people out there who are

1165
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 1: drafting a tight end and drafting Read late, because think

1166
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:03,800
Speaker 1: about it, the upside is ridiculous and the downside, I mean, yeah,

1167
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 1: he's injury prone, but how much of a risk is

1168
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: it when you draft a guy after the tenth or

1169
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: eleventh round. Yeah? No, I mean I think that that

1170
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 1: part is true. Um, I just want I'm not one

1171
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 1: to draft more than one tight end. I you know

1172
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: the ones positions as they call him, the quarterbacks, the

1173
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: tight ends. I'm not going to draft more than one guy.

1174
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: I got the Landy Walker because I just want to

1175
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 1: lock in my seventy catches in my eight hundred yards.

1176
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: Just just lock it in and let's go. Um. I mean,

1177
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 1: you're just looking at Jordan's The upside is tantalizing. But

1178
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 1: this is a guy who has played thirteen or more games. Now,

1179
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it, Marcus, I absolutely understand.

1180
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: But the the risk that he is bringing to the

1181
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 1: table has dropped his value down so much that it's

1182
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,879
Speaker 1: not that much of a risk anymore. I know that

1183
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: I've had I've had him in two leagues, and I've

1184
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: been able to get George Kittle as my backup tight

1185
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 1: end in both of those leagues. So I'm sort of

1186
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: eliminating at least some of the risk because I have

1187
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:57,919
Speaker 1: a guy who I believe in could be a top

1188
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: ten or twelve tight end and Kittle hi and read

1189
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 1: on the on my depth chart. But at that point

1190
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 1: in the draft, and you always have to determine at

1191
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 1: what point in the draft just taking a risk makes sense.

1192
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,879
Speaker 1: At what point in the draft does taking Jordan Read

1193
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 1: makes sense? And after round ten at a position that's

1194
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of top heavy, right, I mean,

1195
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: you've got the top five tight ends, and then you've

1196
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 1: got the Kyle Rudolphs of the world, and you've got

1197
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 1: your your Jacked Oiles of the world. And you you've

1198
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 1: got David and Joko, who a lot of people really like,

1199
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: and Trey Burton who's a big breakout candidate. But to me,

1200
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Read is worth the risk this late in the draft. Yeah,

1201
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 1: I mean, look again, you're right, He's there's minimal risk

1202
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: involved at this point and if uh, you know, if

1203
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't work out, then you haven't really lost a

1204
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: whole lot. So you know, that's one to keep an

1205
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 1: eye on. And you know, I would say he and

1206
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: I won't say he and Greg Olsen are are even

1207
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 1: risk wise because Gregg Olsen, generally speaking, besides last year,

1208
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 1: has a lot um I do worry about Olsen's production.

1209
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: So that that's one where you know, Elliott, mind, if

1210
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 1: if if you're right, if Jordan Reads uh stays healthy,

1211
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: then then he when they steal in the third and

1212
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: one other thing to note here in this draft, and

1213
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 1: this is a bunch of people who kind of do

1214
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 1: this for a living or a big time into football.

1215
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: Five quarterbacks drafted in the first in the last two rounds,

1216
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 1: five Andrew Luck, Carson Wentz, Jimmy Garoppolo, Matt Ryan, and

1217
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. Oh how the mighty have fallen at that position? Um,

1218
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, although I would say, you know, the

1219
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 1: big shocker to me is Garoppolo lasting until the fifteenth round,

1220
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: because if we had done this draft in like June

1221
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 1: or July, Garoppolo is probably off the board like the

1222
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: seventh or eighth round. I mean, that's just kind of

1223
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: where the hype was. And I think I don't know,

1224
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: if it's that we've calmed down, if it's that he

1225
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: just had a so so preseason, I'm not sure what

1226
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 1: it is. But the fact that he lasted until the

1227
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 1: fifteenth round, um, I think, I don't know. It's just

1228
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: it's a little bit surprising to me. I'm also surprised.

1229
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of folks took two quarterbacks, which

1230
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: you know I did, and I have Russell Wilson. You

1231
00:58:55,160 --> 00:59:00,080
Speaker 1: also drafted Russell Wilson in these seven bring. Yes, I

1232
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: tell people that wait on a quarterback, but there's always

1233
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 1: the caveat. There's always the caveat. And I've always said,

1234
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: if Deshaun Watson falls to me in the six or

1235
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 1: seventh round, I'm thinking about taking him. Russell Wilson falls

1236
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 1: to me in the seventh round, I thought about it,

1237
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: and I took him because, to be quite honest with you,

1238
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: I am a little worried about Levan bell Uh and

1239
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 1: the situation. And as much as I like my number

1240
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 1: one wide receiver in Michael Thomas, Allen Robinson's my number two,

1241
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: there's some concerns. So when you maybe have a few

1242
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: question marks in your first five or six picks, there's

1243
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 1: there's spots that you can make up points. And quarterback

1244
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 1: was a spot that I thought I could make up

1245
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: some points there. And Russell Wilson was the highest scoring

1246
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 1: player in fantasy football last season. I don't know if

1247
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna do that again, but he'll likely be no

1248
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 1: worse than five or six because he's always year in

1249
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 1: and year out that good. So that was sort of

1250
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: again where I had to audible, and typically I don't

1251
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 1: do that Marcus knows that he's been in a hundred

1252
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 1: drafts with me. I typically don't do that. I typically

1253
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: don't draft the tight end in the first three rounds either,

1254
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 1: and I did that here too, So we'll see what happens.

1255
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 1: But I just think that because I felt like there

1256
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 1: was some question marks early that I wanted to go

1257
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 1: out and get one of the top three quarterbacks, and

1258
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson clearly as a top three quarterback, and hopefully

1259
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 1: he can make up some of what I feel is

1260
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: uh some risk that I took in my first five picks. Also,

1261
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 1: before we wrap this up, can we just address the

1262
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 1: fact that Adam Rank took wide receivers with five of

1263
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: his first six picks. That's called b J. That's called

1264
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 1: the zero I mean this is zero. Are he went zero?

1265
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 1: I mean he almost went zero QB as well. He

1266
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: waited till this very last pick to get Philip Rivers,

1267
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 1: but he went Odell Beckham, Julio Jones, t Y Hilton,

1268
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake was the one running back in the fourth round.

1269
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 1: He went Michael Crabtree and Chris Hogan. I will say this,

1270
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 1: the running backs that he got are the ones that

1271
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: you would target if you are going zero RB I mean, Drake,

1272
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not sold on. I just don't know

1273
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen in Miami. But he looks like to

1274
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 1: be the number one running back. Chris Thompson Jamal Williams

1275
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: will get to start the first couple of weeks. Matt

1276
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 1: brita Um now gets a bigger workload with the jerk McKinnon.

1277
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 1: So if that is your mindset to go in there

1278
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 1: and sort of get a lot of wide receivers early,

1279
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 1: I think I think this is kind of the blueprint

1280
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 1: for what you would do if that's your If that's

1281
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:17,919
Speaker 1: your strategy, I no doubt. And I've been in leagues

1282
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 1: where people have gotten O b J and new Co

1283
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 1: Hopkins because they have a pick towards the end of

1284
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 1: the first round, beginning of the second round where that

1285
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 1: turn is and I get it, Oh b J's awesome.

1286
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 1: Does he potentially lose some volume down in the red

1287
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: zone because they're gonna have sae Quon Barkley uh in

1288
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 1: the mix there? Maybe? Maybe not. I see a lot

1289
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 1: of experts out there who are very respected in the

1290
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 1: industry who are projecting Odo Beckham Jr. Just score a

1291
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 1: fewer than ten touchdowns this season. Evan Ingram's in the

1292
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 1: mix there too, But again it's ob j he is

1293
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 1: going to produce. Julio Jones. You know that I'm not.

1294
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: He He scares me because he will give me four

1295
01:01:57,480 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 1: stinkers in a row and then he'll put up three

1296
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: hunter and a touchdown and that pads his numbers. And

1297
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, his numbers always look good.

1298
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 1: They always look good. I mean, this is a guy

1299
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 1: who's given you caes, he's given yards. But when you

1300
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: look at the end of the season at the numbers

1301
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 1: that this guy produces on a week to week basis, well,

1302
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 1: there are question marks about Julio Jones. And I can

1303
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: tell you this from first hand experience, because I had

1304
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:29,919
Speaker 1: Julio Jones last season, okay, and he drove me nuts

1305
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 1: every single week. I'm expecting big numbers from Julio Jones,

1306
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 1: and a lot of times, Marcus I didn't get them. Now,

1307
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 1: there was a couple of weeks where Julio helped me

1308
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 1: win because his numbers were so astronomically incredible. But you

1309
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: also have to keep in mind that in this offense

1310
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 1: last season, there were games where Julio Jones, even in

1311
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 1: PPR leagues, disappeared. And if he goes back to the

1312
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 1: Julio Jones from a couple of seasons ago, then Adams

1313
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 1: got the best duo of wide receivers in this league.

1314
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 1: And it's not even close. There's no question about that.

1315
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 1: But Steve Sarkisian I still have question marks about him.

1316
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 1: And I don't get why people have to talk about

1317
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: Julio Jones getting the ball in the red zone after

1318
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 1: a year where he didn't get the ball in the

1319
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: red zone, because he's totally on freaking Jones. Well that look,

1320
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 1: you you're anger, Steves Sarcusan. You don't even go to

1321
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 1: usc like you don't have to watch him be the

1322
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:25,520
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator of your your college football team for a

1323
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: couple of years. Yeah, I I I'm not worried about Julio.

1324
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: I mean the fact that he's you know, Rant got

1325
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 1: him with the third pick in the second round, which

1326
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: is I think about that's about average for what he's

1327
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 1: been doing this year, and I think the bounce back

1328
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: is coming. I mean, I think the biggest kno because

1329
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 1: that he only had three touchdowns and if he has

1330
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 1: more than three touchdowns, if he gets back to his

1331
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: six to eight touchdowns, which is kind of where he

1332
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 1: had been, UM, then everything's fine. So everything, and just

1333
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 1: so you know what I'm talking about. In terms of

1334
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 1: the numbers, Julio Jones had three top ten PPR finishes

1335
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 1: last year at wide receiver three right, he had eleven

1336
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 1: finishes of twenty one or worse. And that's not what

1337
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 1: you want from a first or second round pick. So

1338
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 1: maybe this guy comes back, maybe there's positive regression at

1339
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 1: the touchdown category. You would think there would be, UM,

1340
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 1: but if you're going zero RB in your first three rounds,

1341
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 1: getting O B J and Julio Jones is a pretty

1342
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: darn good start, no doubt. So uh. Anyway, with our

1343
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 1: Fantasy our our Fantasy Live League this year, we were

1344
