Speaker 1: Wow, what's up everybody. Welcome to a brand new thing.
Speaker 1: This is the NFL Fantasy Football cheat Sheets. Look, it
Speaker 1: is sort of everything you need to know and probably
Speaker 1: some things you don't in space about twenty five minutes
Speaker 1: or so. I am Marcus Grant case you didn't know that,
Speaker 1: joined by Michael lef Florio and Lakwan Jones. It is
Speaker 1: a chance for us to sort of hit some of
Speaker 1: the things that maybe we missed during the podcast, maybe
Speaker 1: get you updated on some of the latest news and
Speaker 1: headlines across the NFL and the fantasy space. Talk about
Speaker 1: some things maybe a little bit off a beaten track,
Speaker 1: but more importantly, we want this to be a space
Speaker 1: where we can interact with you all. So jump into
Speaker 1: the chats, put your questions, put your comments. We want
Speaker 1: to sort of talk with you. It's not a thing
Speaker 1: that we get to do on the podcast. It's not
Speaker 1: a thing that we get to do on NFL Fantasy Live.
Speaker 1: So this is sort of your space to be with
Speaker 1: us and sort of sort of hang out with us.
Speaker 1: You know, we got a few folks in the chat
Speaker 1: already at Roman LG. Blake. We appreciate you hanging out
Speaker 1: with us. Guys, let's start with the thing that I
Speaker 1: said this in slack yesterday before we recorded the podcast.
Speaker 1: I said, it's gonna be fun when Calvin Ridley signs
Speaker 1: literally ten minutes after we finished recording the podcast. Did
Speaker 1: that was wrong? It was fifteen minutes after we finished
Speaker 1: the podcast. But Calvin Ridley does sign a four year,
Speaker 1: ninety two million dollars deal with the Tennessee Titans Florida.
Speaker 1: Your sponsor was, was that's gross? Would you care to
Speaker 1: would you care to elaborate?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys know I'm I'm a big Calvin Ridley
Speaker 2: supporter and I've been defending the guy like and I'll
Speaker 2: give a shout out to friend of the show Matt Harmon,
Speaker 2: who did a really good write up on reception perception
Speaker 2: about the way Calvin Ridley was being utilized. And I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna say I watched him as closely as Matt
Speaker 2: did there, but watching him all year long because coming
Speaker 2: into last season, Calvin Ridley was my guy.
Speaker 1: I had him on a.
Speaker 2: Bunch of fantasy teams, so obviously I paid extra close
Speaker 2: attention to him. It was a weekly battle of like,
Speaker 2: is he going to make a miraculous touchdown catch? Is
Speaker 2: he going to catch a really long one, and the quarterback
Speaker 2: play wasn't didn't take the next step like I had anticipated.
Speaker 2: But I still think maybe irestated Calvin Ridley a bit
Speaker 2: last year, but I still think he can play. But
Speaker 2: now I don't love this situation for him. Like I'm
Speaker 2: happy he got paid. He deserves it all. But Will Levis, look,
Speaker 2: we know he has a strong arm, but he's unproven.
Speaker 2: It felt like last year every pass was either behind
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage or forty yards downfield. I think
Speaker 2: it's fair to say it's a quarterback downgrade. First time
Speaker 2: head coach who is also a first time play caller,
Speaker 2: did not call plays in Cincinnati. DeAndre Hopkins is there
Speaker 2: to still compete for targets. So I kind of think
Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley is going to be what he was last year,
Speaker 2: which is like an inconsistent wide receiver. Two will have
Speaker 2: some big weeks and they'll have some really down weeks,
Speaker 2: and it won't be his fault. It'll be kind of
Speaker 2: because I don't trust this offense nearly as much.
Speaker 1: I mean I don't. I think there's some some ups
Speaker 1: and downs here, right I think having DeAndre Hopkins is
Speaker 1: going to be a benefit for him because we saw
Speaker 1: how well he played last year. You know, when day
Speaker 1: Jones was healthy, when Christian Kirk was was there on
Speaker 1: the field, right, Remember there was that week that that
Speaker 1: stretched like a month. We're like, Jay Jones is helping
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, you know, go off. So I think I
Speaker 1: think having Nuke there takes a lot of the pressure
Speaker 1: off of him. We'll see, you know, if Treylon Burks
Speaker 1: finally starts to develop into this AJ Bred you know,
Speaker 1: the AJ Brown lights, you know, the guy that got
Speaker 1: rid of AJ Brown, if he can start to develop
Speaker 1: a little bit more. I also think this is an
Speaker 1: offense that's going to be drastically different than the Titans
Speaker 1: offenses we've seen in the past, right before everything was
Speaker 1: built around Derrick Henry and running the football. The moves
Speaker 1: Tennessee has made this offseason suggests to me they want
Speaker 1: to throw the football more. New head coach. You mentioned,
Speaker 1: new play caller. The fact that they go out and
Speaker 1: they get Tony Pollard. In fantasy terms, that's a wash
Speaker 1: because it's going to I think confuse us and frustrate
Speaker 1: us with TJ. Spears, But it does show that I
Speaker 1: think they want to involve the running backs in the
Speaker 1: passing game more. They just want to throw the ball more.
Speaker 1: So maybe in the end, the numbers looked the same. Maybe.
Speaker 1: I guess that's the frustrating part. I guess we wanted
Speaker 1: better for Calvin Ridley, but I also don't see a
Speaker 1: major step back.
Speaker 3: Let me let me jump in real quick a little
Speaker 3: bit of how he was kind of misused over there
Speaker 3: in Jacksonville. I mean I went back last night and
Speaker 3: kind of wanted to see, like what exactly went wrong,
Speaker 3: And I looked at his targets. Seventy one percent of
Speaker 3: his targets were outside the numbers, and that's not how
Speaker 3: he was utilized in Atlanta.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a large chunk.
Speaker 3: He led the league with the most with the highest percentage,
Speaker 3: you know, from outside the numbers and Trevor Lawrence so on.
Speaker 3: He completed fifty three percent of his passes outside the
Speaker 3: numbers to Kevin Ridley, which was the lowest on the
Speaker 3: team of notable wide receivers. Obviously, so he struggled a
Speaker 3: lot to try to get him going. And from seeing
Speaker 3: that high number, he was more of a balanced guy
Speaker 3: playing in the seam and outside the numbers. When you
Speaker 3: get that good balance between him, you utilize them properly,
Speaker 3: He's able to open some things up and actually produce
Speaker 3: some fantasy points and produce some you know, real life
Speaker 3: yards and stuff. So I really feel like, you know,
Speaker 3: we look back at twenty nineteen, he played a perfect
Speaker 3: balance from playing in the scene, playing outside. They were
Speaker 3: getting involved all around. He even played in the slot
Speaker 3: a couple of plays. Like he was getting involved all around,
Speaker 3: you know, on the offense. So being that, you know,
Speaker 3: you got a guy like Brian Callahan. Florial mentioned he's
Speaker 3: a first time play carler, but he's also a Zach
Speaker 3: Taylor guy, and Zach Taylor is a basically a Vey
Speaker 3: family tree. So I really feel as though, you know,
Speaker 3: Ryan camllahan needs to bring some type of Zach Taylor
Speaker 3: presents to his offense because you mentioned before with the
Speaker 3: running backs, you know they're bringing in Tony Poler. It
Speaker 3: will be a fantasy headache, you know, him and Tod J. Spears,
Speaker 3: but they're making the right moves in the right direction
Speaker 3: to try to put weapons around Will Levis. I know,
Speaker 3: we saw the little game where he had four touchdowns
Speaker 3: and we're like, yeah, we're on a big arm but
Speaker 3: then it kind of fell off. But I will say,
Speaker 3: you know, they're they're putting the right pieces around him,
Speaker 3: and hopefully, you know, Calvin Ridley is more used how
Speaker 3: Jamar Chase is used over in Cincinnati. If Brian kelly
Speaker 3: and is going to bring anything you know, over from
Speaker 3: Zach Taylor's system, you know, Jamar Chase is a guy
Speaker 3: that's balanced in the scene outside the numbers that we
Speaker 3: look at the next gen sets. So hopefully Calvin Ridley
Speaker 3: can go over there and be utilized properly.
Speaker 1: All right, So then that being said, Calvin Ridley wide
Speaker 1: receiver three, yes.
Speaker 3: Because right now where he's he at, he's like his
Speaker 3: ADP's at wide receiver thirty five. I mean, I'm not
Speaker 3: mad at but surprisingly enough, Christian Kirk is at thirty
Speaker 3: six underdog right now, which is a little funny, but
Speaker 3: I'm probably gonna take Christian Kirk.
Speaker 1: Just being in the star goes that goes up now
Speaker 1: that we know Kelvin is gone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has to, man, because we know Christian Kirk
Speaker 3: is the wide receiver one, right, Like, can.
Speaker 4: We just put that out there? He's the wide receiver
Speaker 4: one for the Jacks.
Speaker 3: I don't care who the Yeah, I mean, my dude
Speaker 3: had over one hundred and forty targets.
Speaker 4: That was insane. Like that's not talked about enough.
Speaker 1: Man. Yeah, so I think that's sort of I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess we kind of wait to see, right what
Speaker 1: the Tennessee offense is, how productive it's going to be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's probably not gonna be as as dynamic as what
Speaker 1: they had in Jacksonville this past year. But I think,
Speaker 1: you know, I think the other thing that works for
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley is there's a little bit less target competition
Speaker 1: a lot of us. They're what he had in Jacksonville
Speaker 1: when everybody was healthy, you know, I mean you had
Speaker 1: Kirk and you had Jones and you had Evan Ingram.
Speaker 1: I mean there were a lot more mouths to feed there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this passing game is it's it's nuke and it's Ridley.
Speaker 1: I guess Tony Pollard sprinkled in there. Spirit. That's it.
Speaker 2: The touch on lq's point from earlier like Jacksonville, not
Speaker 2: only it was all outside the numbers, like it was
Speaker 2: a lot of like curls and a lot of difficult
Speaker 2: routes to win. And he was at his best when
Speaker 2: he was opposite of Julio Jones, and they were able
Speaker 2: to kind of switch from the X to the Y
Speaker 2: and and I think that's Calvin really will be used
Speaker 2: a little bit more like a chess piece, whereas last
Speaker 2: year he was kind of tethered to one spot and
Speaker 2: the hardest spot on the field where he was often
Speaker 2: opposite of other teams, opposing number one corner. So I
Speaker 2: do think this could be a good thing for Calvin. Really,
Speaker 2: I just think it's gonna be very similar to what
Speaker 2: it was last season, where it'll be for a different reason,
Speaker 2: probably not because of the way he's used, but because
Speaker 2: of the quarterback play. But I think it'll still be
Speaker 2: a little inconsistent week to week. But I mean, if
Speaker 2: will Levis proves us wrong, and he has the tools
Speaker 2: to do so, if you're gonna put it all together.
Speaker 3: That's why I said he has, you have the tools
Speaker 3: to move forward and take the step forward and actually
Speaker 3: produce something consistently each week. You know, because it fell
Speaker 3: off a cliff out there after that game that he
Speaker 3: blew up like it.
Speaker 1: Was and also you know, it also helped that Nuke
Speaker 1: shoved off a couple of times and got himself open
Speaker 1: for a couple of those those touchdowns, but you know
Speaker 1: we won't talk about that. A cover of comments and
Speaker 1: the chat and please jump in. You got comments, you
Speaker 1: got questions. We want to interact with you here on
Speaker 1: this show. A two square at Saint Stroud Times, Barkley
Speaker 1: Times London a nucleus for a deep run. Logistics are
Speaker 1: putting that team together, right, I mean, because that means
Speaker 1: what saquon first round, Drake London back on the turn
Speaker 1: and then just a little bit later that's doable and
Speaker 1: that's doable. Yeah, that's the Grayson Red saying Mac Jones.
Speaker 1: If mac Jones is starting games for the Jaguars, things
Speaker 1: have gone poorly. Trevor Lawrence is either injured or something
Speaker 1: has gone really really bad.
Speaker 4: It's just not working out.
Speaker 1: Things are not going well for the Jags. If mac
Speaker 1: Jones is on the field consistently this year.
Speaker 2: If Justin Fields doesn't start this year, Trevor Lawrence is
Speaker 2: the last one ending of that draft class that got so.
Speaker 1: Hyped up, which is very possible. I mean as of
Speaker 1: this moment, with Justin Field's not having you know, found
Speaker 1: a landing spot, or the Bears, I guess not having
Speaker 1: found a trading partner for Justin Fields. Uh, there's a
Speaker 1: very good chance that he will not be a starter
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. Wow Roman wants to know what
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are doing. Miami's a big fat pilot nothing.
Speaker 1: They're not doing anything.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they say, one fan.
Speaker 2: From from going to buy some stuff from Walt to
Speaker 2: White and Jesse Pigman and making a terribleness.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys got to do something though.
Speaker 4: Man, it's getting bad.
Speaker 1: It's well and I think what has made it worse
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys was Jerry Jones talking about we're going
Speaker 1: all in and they have done all of nothing so far, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you know, people thinking they needed a
Speaker 1: wide receiver or running back, right, they move on from
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, but they're not in on Derrick Henry or
Speaker 1: sa Quan or Echler, any of these wine running backs
Speaker 1: that were there. You know, some talk that maybe they
Speaker 1: could use a wide receiver. I mean, they don't really
Speaker 1: get in on Calvin Ridley. Mike Williams is out there,
Speaker 1: but there doesn't seem to be any real movement there.
Speaker 1: They can't even really get something going with Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: right now, right like they're trying to work on an
Speaker 1: extension with DAK and there doesn't seem to be a
Speaker 1: lot of movement there, so, you know, I think I
Speaker 1: think if Jerry had come out and said we're going
Speaker 1: to be cautious and we're going to take our time,
Speaker 1: I think people would have been like, Okay, we get it.
Speaker 1: But he's like, we're all in, you know. And then
Speaker 1: the Texans are making big moves, the Bucks are doing
Speaker 1: big things. I mean a lot of teams are making
Speaker 1: big moves, and that the Cowboys are just kind of
Speaker 1: hanging out.
Speaker 3: They're on vacation. Man, they're on vacation. They probably think
Speaker 3: it starts next week. That's why.
Speaker 2: Look, I know, I know there's like Alice Cowboys, so
Speaker 2: we but this is I'm not upset with this because
Speaker 2: I don't care about the Cowboys wins or losses. I
Speaker 2: care about fantasy when it comes to this league. And
Speaker 2: this is like, this is a good thing for Ceedee Lamb,
Speaker 2: this is a good thing for like Jake Fergus, Like
Speaker 2: nothing has shanged outside of them losing Tony Pollard.
Speaker 1: Nothing has changed so often, I mean, I guess, but
Speaker 1: now they become a little bit more one dimensional, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, unless there's somebody. Maybe they got in draft
Speaker 1: a running back right, Well, we sort of talked about
Speaker 1: Jonathan Brooks in the past. That seems like a Jerry move.
Speaker 1: Get a guy from Texas, even though he's coming off
Speaker 1: a knee injury. That feels like a Jerry Jones type move.
Speaker 1: Like they'll take him. They'll take him like one round
Speaker 1: two early also, and they'll pair him with Zeke and
Speaker 1: that'll the return to Zeke. Let's go, man, after all
Speaker 1: your failures, where did that bring you? Like that to me,
Speaker 1: that's what it was gonna be. So many, so many
Speaker 1: fanos memes.
Speaker 3: If Zeke has back to Dallas Point, it's going to
Speaker 3: flood the timeline.
Speaker 1: Yo. Box OC wants to know thoughts on Atlanta next year.
Speaker 1: Your feelings on the Falcons. I like it.
Speaker 3: It's basically, you know, the Southern Rams, East Coast Rams.
Speaker 4: I like him that they're building over there.
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously this is going to be the year
Speaker 3: that we get the Drake London you know, breakout, and.
Speaker 1: We're also all on board. We're all on board.
Speaker 3: The Kyle Pitts spaceship going to the Moon this year
Speaker 3: because I'm finally in. I got my ticket, Like I
Speaker 3: feel good about this offense. You know, Kirk coming in
Speaker 3: and he's going to be able to make these guys,
Speaker 3: you know, just elevate their game. I mean, we know
Speaker 3: Kirk is a scorer man. You know, he has touchdowns
Speaker 3: in his bag.
Speaker 1: Playoffs whatever, you know what a playoffs. But when it
Speaker 1: cut to.
Speaker 2: Kirko, they are running that division this year, they locket,
Speaker 2: you know, I mean I think they can.
Speaker 1: I mean they were on the brink of it last year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were. I think they absolutely can win the division.
Speaker 1: They were quarterback away. I mean, look, in the past,
Speaker 1: the defense had been a liability in Atlanta. Last year,
Speaker 1: the defense sort of kept them afloat and a lot
Speaker 1: of ens while their offense was trying to figure some
Speaker 1: things out. So as long as that defense doesn't take
Speaker 1: a major step back, you know, Kirk Cousins is a
Speaker 1: huge upgrade over what they've had the last few years.
Speaker 1: He's the best thing they've had since Matt Ryan retired.
Speaker 1: They absolutely can can win that division. Whether they win
Speaker 1: a game of the playoffs, who knows, because you know
Speaker 1: that's that's sort of Kirks and kryptonite.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not his bag.
Speaker 2: He has one playoff career win, I believe, and has
Speaker 2: made more money than Tom Brady, which I mean.
Speaker 1: I say it all the time.
Speaker 2: He is the greatest of all time at Goltate, the greatest.
Speaker 1: For fantasy.
Speaker 2: He's going to be a QB two and and Ken
Speaker 2: finished as a QB one though, So he's someone like
Speaker 2: you compare with an upside quarterback, maybe like Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 2: If you take him as your QB one, you get
Speaker 2: a safety option in like Kirk Cousins. But yeah, I
Speaker 2: think Drake London has wide receiver one up so top
Speaker 2: five ups I think all three of their big skill
Speaker 2: position players has the upside to finish top five at
Speaker 2: their position.
Speaker 3: I'm on that boats too, because I forgot Bjeon how
Speaker 3: good he's going to be this season as well. Like man,
Speaker 3: we finally get to see Bjeon unlocked because I was
Speaker 3: on that train last year. But you know Arthur Smith,
Speaker 3: you know he had different plans for everybody.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean at this point, Kirk is who
Speaker 1: Kirk is, right, And I don't think anybody says Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins going to Atlanta suddenly is going to make him,
Speaker 1: you know, a top ten, top eight fantasy quarterback. I think, Uh,
Speaker 1: but what we were excited about is what he means
Speaker 1: for everybody else in that offense. Yeah, that's all it is.
Speaker 1: I mean, Kirk is who Kirk is. Nothing's changing there. Uh,
Speaker 1: just we just we just like the fact that he
Speaker 1: hopefully unlocks all the skill position guys, Kirk chains. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Josiah wants to know. Do y'all think that Devontae Adams
Speaker 1: has any chance of going to the Jets. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say no.
Speaker 4: No, treasurer.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, So here's the other question, better, what what's Look.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to happen. I think when
Speaker 1: he likes Vegas, I mean I think he's made the
Speaker 1: move to Vegas. I think he's gotten comfortable there, and
Speaker 1: I think he sort of wants to help the Raiders win.
Speaker 1: And I don't see the Raiders moving on from him
Speaker 1: after they are trying to rebuild and chase down the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: My real question is what has a greater likelihood of
Speaker 1: happening Aaron Rodgers finishes as the the QB one where
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is the next Vice President of the United
Speaker 1: States of America.
Speaker 5: I mean QB one chance, let's go. He's a fact
Speaker 5: that you cannot.
Speaker 2: Be the QB one unless he put up some sort
Speaker 2: of at least, you know, you either need to go
Speaker 2: completely video game efficiency as a passer, or you need
Speaker 2: to be able to do something with your legs. He
Speaker 2: wasn't running before he tore his acutees.
Speaker 1: True, and I don't know that he's got to. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: maybe he does have another forty touchdown season in there somewhere.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't see that, especially not with Breeze Hall.
Speaker 1: They're gonna run the ball with Breese too.
Speaker 2: Gary Jarson will catch. Let's give him fifteen as a
Speaker 2: big number. If he's gonna where are the other twenty
Speaker 2: five going on?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, who knows. Maybe
Speaker 1: they maybe they get it on Mike Williams and they
Speaker 1: bring Mike Williams.
Speaker 4: Oh, and I would love that, right, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, Mark Marquise Brown is still out there unless something
Speaker 1: has happened to couple minutes that I missed. But you know,
Speaker 1: there's still no news yet, there's still some options out there.
Speaker 1: Dominic asks regarding this heightens backfield, what are your opinions
Speaker 1: on Spears versus Pollard in fantasy? I think we touched
Speaker 1: on this on the pod, which, by the way, the
Speaker 1: pod is out, go check it out. It is a
Speaker 1: little bit beef here. It's a little over an hour
Speaker 1: because there were so many things that happened. But I
Speaker 1: feel like our breakdown was like, they're gonna they're so
Speaker 1: similar that they're gonna probably take away from Hi.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going to cancel each other out, man, because
Speaker 3: they're both a similar type back where they both can
Speaker 3: catch passes, they both can run between the tackles. I
Speaker 3: just feel like it's going to be a complete headache,
Speaker 3: and like if you take either one, you just have
Speaker 3: to have your expectations in mind.
Speaker 4: I mean both are RB three's in my mind.
Speaker 3: I know a lot of people with champion Tony Polter
Speaker 3: with his time in Dallas to be an RB two,
Speaker 3: But I just don't like the situation.
Speaker 4: Man, They're going to be eating off each other.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's the TLDR of it. But go check
Speaker 1: out the pod. It is out now. You know iTunes, Spotify, iHeart,
Speaker 1: wherever you download fine podcasts. You can also that those
Speaker 1: spots there. It will be a little bit more about that.
Speaker 1: Christopher says. The Steelers trip of the only winning quarterback.
Speaker 1: I mean sure, if that's how you want to look
Speaker 1: at Mason Rudolph.
Speaker 2: Week it's like, oh, they're giving up on Kenny Pickett.
Speaker 2: It's like, nah, they gave up on Kenny Pickett when
Speaker 2: they started Mason Rudolph.
Speaker 1: Over him in the place. Yeah, yeah, that sailed.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, man, He's a Jersey guy, so I can't
Speaker 3: I can't get on him too much.
Speaker 4: But Kenny Pickett, man.
Speaker 1: It's Mags California guy. Dude's a little bit of a
Speaker 1: loon like's.
Speaker 4: I mean, not too much on Kenny.
Speaker 1: When he found out when he found out about the
Speaker 1: VP rumors, he was off in an Ayahuasca retreat, like
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is a little bit different man like in California.
Speaker 1: I'm from California. I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure this is a cannon event for the
Speaker 3: Jets of where it's going to be a complete circus
Speaker 3: the rest of this rest of his off season, because
Speaker 3: what is going on.
Speaker 2: To take us off subject but something that's.
Speaker 1: What the show is taking a lot of that.
Speaker 2: I was against Kenny Pickett when he was a prospect.
Speaker 2: I've never been a picket guy, and so much of
Speaker 2: my reasoning was he was bad for four years of
Speaker 2: college and they good in the fifth year. Does that
Speaker 2: concern you for guys like Bo Nicks and Michael Pennix junior,
Speaker 2: who it took a little bit of time in.
Speaker 1: College for them to really become what they are now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it totally does.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which actually sort of gets that crazy Hans. His
Speaker 1: question was about the upcoming draft class and thoughts about
Speaker 1: some players. No, it absolutely does. I think more so
Speaker 1: for Knicks than for Pinnis. I feel like Pinnis showed
Speaker 1: some things. It's for him, it's the injury history and
Speaker 1: it's the age. For Knicks, it's the age. I mean,
Speaker 1: people were calling him Stetson Bennett light because he's been
Speaker 1: around for a while and the fact that, look, he
Speaker 1: he took a big step forward in Oregon versus Auburn.
Speaker 1: But it's an offense that sort of had fewer demands
Speaker 1: on him. There was a lot of screens, a lot
Speaker 1: of screens like I want to get rid of the
Speaker 1: ball quickly. He had a lot of athletic receivers and
Speaker 1: he let them do their thing. And that's not a
Speaker 1: terrible thing, Like that's not a total indictment on him,
Speaker 1: but I think it also means that he's going to
Speaker 1: have to, you know, a little bit more handholding for
Speaker 1: lack of a better term, once he gets to the NFL.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not a lot was asked from him, and so
Speaker 3: you can't really even like really know. I mean, that
Speaker 3: does worry me.
Speaker 2: Though it's a similar thing with someone like Xavier Legett.
Speaker 2: I know, it's a different position wide receiver. He's testing
Speaker 2: amazingly athletically, but like the first you look at his
Speaker 2: first four years of college and you're like, what happened?
Speaker 2: And then that fifth year he just exploded.
Speaker 4: Exploding.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no for real. So are there guys go back
Speaker 1: to Hans's question, are there any guys out there you
Speaker 1: think can be studs regardless of landing spot? And my
Speaker 1: first thought is those those top three wide receivers, MHJ, Neighbors, Padounza,
Speaker 1: wherever they go, I think they're gonna be stus. I'd
Speaker 1: say that about Brock Bowers too.
Speaker 3: I was about to say, we can say that about
Speaker 3: Bower unless he ends up in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. That was a little fun around yesterday.
Speaker 1: The tweet that that went out yesterday from Maria Martin
Speaker 1: saying former Falcons head coach new Steelers O C. Arthur
Speaker 1: Smith is here at Uga Prode and talking to brock
Speaker 1: Bowers at the moment, and all of fantasy Twitter rose
Speaker 1: up as one to shout, no, you stay away, You
Speaker 1: stay away from our brock Bowers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a little toxic behavior by Arthur because it's
Speaker 3: probably like, oh, yeah, he's the top prospect I end.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we're gonna go watch him. I'm gonna get
Speaker 3: a rise out of fantasy community.
Speaker 1: We all had PTSD, hits, TSD is what we had.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the other college player, I don't care where he
Speaker 2: ends up. I'm going to be interested for fantasy purposes.
Speaker 2: Is Jaden Daniels. Like, as long as he is playing
Speaker 2: and starting, h he he's going to run and that
Speaker 2: will like will he hold up? Could he have an antony?
Speaker 1: Yes? I need for whatever city, whatever team that drafts him,
Speaker 1: I need him to go find the local Major League
Speaker 1: Baseball team and slide and just have sliding practice. Right.
Speaker 1: If it's if it's if it's Washington, if it's the Commanders, like,
Speaker 1: go hang out with the natsuh. If it's if it's
Speaker 1: the Patriots that draft him, go spend some time at Finway.
Speaker 1: I just need you to learn how to slide because
Speaker 1: I saw too many memes of like Sonic the Hedgehog
Speaker 1: getting hit and having all his rings fly out in
Speaker 1: association with Jade and Daniels highlights. Yeah, he does make
Speaker 1: some plays. He also took some wicked, wicked hits.
Speaker 2: Yes, though is you're not gonna have to draft him
Speaker 2: as your starter, so you try to get him as
Speaker 2: your backup quarterback more than likely, and it's just free
Speaker 2: upside at that point in my opinion.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, I just seen a move that has happened.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Hans because I wasn't looking at the
Speaker 1: tweet deck at the moment, But Moore going to Atlanta
Speaker 1: in exchange for Desmond Ritter. So your Falcons wide receiving
Speaker 1: corps is Frake London Rondale Moore, who I don't know,
Speaker 1: never really materialized in uh Arizona the way I wanted
Speaker 1: him to, the way I thought he would u And
Speaker 1: then who's their third option? What like Darnell Mooney? That's right,
Speaker 1: they signed Mooneyrake, So you got so? Yeah? Yeah, you
Speaker 1: got wow? So you London Mooney? More hits, Bijon. They
Speaker 1: are loading up. I mean, I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know how much of an impact Rondale Moore makes, but
Speaker 1: they've got some dudes they can run out on the field.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he'll be a tool. He'll be a tool. He'll
Speaker 4: definitely be involved.
Speaker 2: I could see it better real life piece than fantasy.
Speaker 2: I don't see him being very fantasy really, but he'll
Speaker 2: be the lead slock eye. You have Darnal Mooney outside
Speaker 2: of opposite of Drake London to stretch the field. I
Speaker 2: think they're building, like I keep comparing it to Minnesota
Speaker 2: because that's what we've been seeing Kirk do for so long.
Speaker 2: Since koc comes from a similar background as Zach Robinson,
Speaker 2: so there are similarities there.
Speaker 1: London.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying London is is Jefferson, and Pitts is Hockinson,
Speaker 2: and Mooney is Addison and now Rondell I guess could
Speaker 2: be like kJ Osborne ish, but like, there's a lot
Speaker 2: of similarities.
Speaker 4: I think they're trying to make it comfortable for him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. Before we get out of here, Ross
Speaker 1: asked about Gabe Davis playing in Jacksonville. We were all
Speaker 1: sort of on it, but go check the pod because
Speaker 1: we did get it. The Gardil king is Beck. We
Speaker 1: got in depth on it on the podcast and go
Speaker 1: check that out. We dive into that, and then Lalo says,
Speaker 1: hi from Mexico or l Lalo as I missed NFL Mexico.
Speaker 1: What does maybe we reach out to get Mauricio Gutierras, Oh,
Speaker 1: we should, if not on this show, then on the pod.
Speaker 1: Maurice she was always great, a lot of energy, fun
Speaker 1: to talk to, knows this stuff. Also is a huge
Speaker 1: Star Wars guy, so we can like dive into I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know if I've talked to him
Speaker 1: since uh you know, any of the the new Star
Speaker 1: Wars stuff has come out, like you know what his
Speaker 1: thoughts are. We're on Ahsoka or anything like that. So
Speaker 1: we get more the long drought of Star Wars content. Ever,
Speaker 1: I know we need more and or like and or
Speaker 1: got pushed back and I'm not thrilled about it. So
