Let's get it started right 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.560 here on our starting lineup. News and notes from around 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:39.640 Major League Baseball today. Diavon Backs outfielder AJ Pollock left 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:43.920 his rehab game with a groin pull. He was close 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.840 coming back. He was probably gonna be activated later on 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.120 this week. He is now back to UH being listed 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.440 as day to day. Also, someone whose day to day 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.240 is Anthony Rendon of the Washington Nationals. He left last 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.000 night's game with the next thing or so keep an 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:03.880 eye on that. Um. The manager of the Houston Astros, A. J. Hinch, 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:08.000 says that Lance mccullor's is gonna be likely back this weekend. Now, 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:09.920 let me tell you something, and this is just credit 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:11.960 to the Houston Astros. This is a team that is 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.560 running away and hiding with the A L. West. But 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.960 you got mccullors who has missed some time. You have 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.400 Charlie Morton who has missed some time. Dallas Kaikel has 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.840 missed sometime, Colin MQ has missed some time. If they 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.479 get all their starters back. This is going to be 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:30.520 a very tough team to catch in the AL playoff race. 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.159 Going on the d L though, is Angels closure Bubba Norris, 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:35.720 he's got a knee issue. He's on the ten d 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.359 d L camp. Bedro Jan got the last save and 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.280 he came back from the d L. But also remember 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.680 Houston Street is supposed to be potentially coming back by 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.279 the weekend, so we may have a battle for the 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:50.720 closer position in Anaheim. Also supposedly coming back pretty soon 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.960 is John Gray, the starter for the Colorado Rockies. He 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.320 is having what many people consider his final rehab start 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.440 on because he's coming back from that foot injury. Should 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.680 be his last rehab start this week for Triple A Albuquerque, 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.839 and then afterwards, you know he could call Saul out 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:11.159 there in Albuquerque. New Mexico. Also, Giants third baseman Eduardo 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.120 Nunez is going to get an m r I on 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.560 his hamstring. Remember he just missed three games because of 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:20.640 that hamstring injury, just came back reaggravated it in his 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.560 return last night against the Braves. They are now saying 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:27.480 a d L stint is likely for Eduardo Nunez. They 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.719 should have listened to our man dr A here on 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:31.919 inside injuries, they would have told you to not rush 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.400 it back. All right, let's keep it moving here on 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.839 the Fantasy Freestyle. Let's getting too my starting lineups. You 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:40.080 can win some cash tonight on DFS. First, let's tell 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:44.440 you what happened last night. I told you that you know, obviously, 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.160 if you wanted to spend the money on fandul A 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.960 twelve five hundred for Clayton Kershaw, that you could have 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:51.680 done that. But I told you I was gonna try 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.159 to find ways to beat him. What I also told 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.400 you was that you will never get your n s 0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:01.000 Aspenice and Michael CONFORDO and J. Bruce at a cheaper 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.760 price and J Bruce listed at hundred. Last night he 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.640 went yard um. Kershaw wasn't amazing last night. He only 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:09.720 went six and a third. He did strike out ten, 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.240 but he gave up six runs. Ultimately did get a 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.479 win as the Dodgers won ten to six. But you 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:19.240 probably could have beaten him. The nuts probably actually was 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.719 Corey Klueber. Corey Kluber with a complete game shutout, striking 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.560 out eleven against the Orioles. But if you went in 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.479 a different direction you may have gone, John Lester. John 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.680 Lester got you a quality start, struck out seven. And 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:32.480 let me tell you something. Remember how I last night 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.480 was saying that I liked Brad Peacock for only seventy 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.480 two hundred against Oakland, and I said that he was 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.440 gonna be able to strike out a lot of people, 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.480 but the only thing was he might not go the distance, 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.280 might not go long enough to get you a quality start. Well, 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:48.680 this is one of those situations where I hate that 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.560 I was actually correct. He did get you the strikeouts. 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.919 He had eight strikeouts, but and I was right, he 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.920 did not go long enough. He went five and two 0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:01.359 thirds innings just one out away from the quality start. 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.680 He did get you a win, but he did not 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.000 on fan duel score and get you that quality start. 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.920 He missed out by one out. And trust me, I 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.600 know I had Brad Peacock in my lineups last week 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.560 and one last night, and one of those lineups missed 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:19.520 the cash line by less than two points. And if 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.720 I only got that one more out from Brad Peacock, 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.119 that quality start would accounted for me on fan duel. 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.240 But that's okay, We're gonna get it back. Tonight because 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.960 tonight you have straight chalk. Okay, let me tell you 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.600 something right now, Even though there is fifteen games, it 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:37.080 is obvious to me Chris Sale is the best picture 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.280 on the slate. He's at eleven thousand, seven hundred. But 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.960 I'm telling you pay up for him tonight. This is 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:45.640 not where I try to beat someone. This is where 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.200 I pay up for Chris Sale. Sale is obviously the 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.559 best picture on the slate. He's also at Kansas City, 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.720 and like I said, you can fade this Kansas City 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.320 offense when you pay the strikeout machine that is Chris Sale. 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.800 With the offense that had the worst run total in 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.280 the American League at only two D seventy three. I 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.480 think it's a match made in head Heaven. I would 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.160 pay the money and buy Chris Sale tonight at eleven thousand, 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:13.840 seven hundred on fan Dwell if you want to beat him, though, 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:17.880 the one place I would look is Michael Paneeda tonight 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.040 in New York against the Angels. He's going for dred. 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.240 I think he rebounds from a bad start against them 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.040 last week. Remember last week, this is a home and 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.760 home kind of series. He only had six innings, gave 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.560 up five runs against him last week. However, Paneda is 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.360 someone who does have much better home splits then when 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.200 he's on the road. So now this game is back 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.040 in Yankee Stadium. It's the Angels making the drust the 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.880 trip west coast to east, and I think that uh 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:45.760 Panta will have a good outing tonight. But you know 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:47.400 this is obviously only if you want to try and 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.160 zig when other people zag. In terms of not going 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.360 with Chris Sale, because obviously you have some other pictures 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.520 that are great tonight, but Zack Granky at Cours, I 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.560 don't trust it. Julio Tehran. He's back at home, and 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.280 even though he was better and his last home start, 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.560 I still am waiting to see kind of a streak 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.320 of him adjusting to that new ballpark and being able 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.640 to perform there before I put him in my line. 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.760 So I'm going with Chris Sale and Michael Paneda tonight. 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:15.040 As we keep it moving, though, I want to let 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.160 you guys know. You know, we're here at the Fantasy 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.640 Sports Radio Network, here at Studio thirty four at Rock 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.400 and Riley's in Midtown Manhattan, and when we go to commercials, 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.120 you know, sometimes I get here a little early I'm 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:27.560 talking to my man Benny Riccardi on the DFS lineup block, 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:29.520 and we always got to realize that, you know, our 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:33.120 mics are hot all the time. You never know what 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:37.520 the camera or the microphone might pick up. And interestingly enough, 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:43.800 Keith Hernandez needs to learn this same lesson. They were 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.520 coming back from break on the Mets telecast last night. 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.440 UM and Tanna row Arc who was pitching for the 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.080 Nationals or maybe this was over the weekend. Tanna ro Ark, 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:54.600 who was pitching for the Ross in the Nationals. He's 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.320 been getting lit up lately. Okay, two starts ago, he 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.320 gave up seven runs in five innings. Pitch in his 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.040 last start, he was in the middle of like just 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.600 getting pulled in the third inning after giving up six runs. 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.360 And my man Keith Hernandez had some you know, very 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:13.320 deep analysis, UM that I don't think he wanted the 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:17.760 microphone to catch about Tanna row Ark, JP night Owl. 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:25.600 Can we give that right now? Yeah, he really has. 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:27.880 What do you think about that? I mean, I don't 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.839 know is that the technical term when you're getting lit up? 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.400 I don't know if that's the way it's supposed to go. 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.560 Certainly Keith Hernandez did not know that he had a 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:40.160 hot mike, but apparently he did. And uh Tanna row 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:43.680 Ark getting lit up a JP my night owl. I 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.880 think we need to make that now the technical term. 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.760 Anytime someone is quote unquote getting lit up, we could 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:50.679 add that body part. What do you think, JP? That 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:52.120 sounds like a solid way to do it. All right, 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:53.640 that's what we're gonna do.

When my man Jada Kiss what 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.199 he says, because ain't none of y'all better, none of 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.240 y'all better than speeds.

Oh you know what 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.040 it is, Welcome back to the fantasy freestyle here which 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:10.400 boyd Dane Martinez speeds and spitting statistician right here on 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.439 the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Of course, a big shout 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.560 towards sports byline affiliates around the country, and today I 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:18.839 want to give a special shout out for a couple 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:24.640 of reasons to nine ten am kg M E in Phoenix, Arizona, 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.080 with shouting I'm out for a couple of reasons. One 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:30.400 I hear that it is a hundred and twenty degrees 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.280 in Phoenix this week. It is so hot in Phoenix 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:38.040 that apparently they are not letting planes land in the 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:42.120 Phoenix Airport because tires will explode because it's so hot 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.480 out there. So if you're listening to nine ten am 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.320 out there in Phoenix, big shout out to you. Stay cool. 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.480 And the other reason is because we will be previewing 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.520 the Arizona Cardinals in just a little bit with my 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.400 man JP. But first let me give you some news 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.840 and notes from around the NFL. They are saying that 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.280 in Jetski it is not a short thing for quarterback 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.640 Josh McCown to be the starter in week one. There 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.439 are now reports saying that the kind of demise of 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:13.080 Christian Hackenburg was actually overstated and that um, you know, 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.280 he has a chance to be the starter. I actually 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.520 think that that would be the way they should go, 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.560 especially if they want to hashtag suck for Sam. That 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:22.800 is Sam Donald, the first who I think will be 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.960 the number one overall pick lot next year, the quarterback 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:29.360 out of USC. So let's see what winds up happening 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:33.520 there in Cleveland. Browns Special teams coaches comparing Jabrill Peppers 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:37.520 to Josh cribs Now that is a very high praise. Okay, 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:39.720 remember Josh Cribbs is one of the best return men 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.920 in NFL history, also played for the Browns. The Browns 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.560 last year though, we're twenty in the league and kickoff 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:48.400 returns and twenty six in the league in punt return 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.840 so it will not be a surprise to see Ja 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:55.200 Bill Jabrill Peppers maybe have that role as a rookie. Also, 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.360 want to tell you Dolphins running back j A. G 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.200 I E. They're saying this is one of those greatest 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.240 shape of his life sto or these guys. They're saying, 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:05.040 he quote unquote looks much smoother as a receiver. So 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.160 maybe J. G. I E Will be a three down back. 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.880 He might be, you know, he might be the forgotten 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.240 quote unquote workhorse. One of the things I've said all 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:17.000 the time here on Fantasy Freestyle is that there are 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.480 only a few teams that have a true workhorse back, 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.360 and that so many of the teams, you know, eighty 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.400 percent of the league is kind of a running back 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.920 by committee or at least a timeshare. You know, even 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.560 a team like Atlanta you know where you love Davante 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.120 Freeman and he is a top ten pick potentially in 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.600 your fantasy football draft, he has Tevin Coleman, you know 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.240 what I mean? And that is the case with so 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.320 many teams around the NFL. But if J G. I. 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:42.360 E Could be a three down back, he might be 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:45.560 one of the I don't know five true workhorses left 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:49.600 in the NFL. All right, here's the thing though. We're 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.360 previewing the Arizona Cardinals today with my man JP the 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.560 Night Owl, and I gotta tell you, obviously one of 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.480 those workhorses does reside in Arizona with the Cardinals. And 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.800 I'm talking about David Johnson, d J two K. Besides 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:06.160 you know him what Levy on bell Ezekiel Elliott, maybe 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.080 Shady McCoy, J G. I E. Who I just mentioned, 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:13.000 and then you know, maybe potentially Melvin Gordon, potentially Jordan 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.120 Howard there. You know, these are the top running backs. 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:20.280 David Johnson is definitely one of them. My issue, imagin'ly 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:25.000 gonna hear with the Arizona Cardinals is, you know, the 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:29.040 the rise of David Johnson and then on a parallel track, 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:34.080 the fall or decline of Larry Fitzgerald and Carson Palmer. 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.440 They just got to hope that that then diagram kind 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:40.040 of over overlaps with productivity for a one or two 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.000 year window. And when you hear my preview, you're gonna 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:45.880 hear that. Unfortunately, I don't think that is going to happen. 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:47.600 Here's the way I'm gonna start it off with the 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:51.280 Arizona Cardinals. If you give me any team in the league, 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.400 I will tell you that their quarterback and thus their 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:58.520 team fits into one of five categories. You either are 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:02.320 searching for a quarterback, right the teams that know they 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.600 don't have a quarterback, like last yesterday when I did 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:06.760 the Rams, you know and Goff, they're still searching for 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:11.080 a quarterback. Another category is to have um what I'll 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:15.159 call and ascending quarterback. You know a team where you 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.280 it's a young quarterback, You've given him his chance and 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.440 it looks like it could lead to something. Okay, we're 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.359 talking about you know, the Marcus Mariotas, the Derek Carrs 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:24.119 of the world, the Carson wentz Is of the world. 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:27.400 Even that's category to Category three is the what I'll 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:33.720 call like uninspiring, uninspiring quarterbacks. Okay, the uninspiring quarterbacks. To me, 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:37.800 that's your Andy Dalton's that's your Tyrod Taylor's, Okay, And 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:39.920 I would actually argue I would rather be a team 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:43.280 that knows I don't have my quarterback then to be 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.840 the uninspiring. Then you have your your elite quarterbacks. Okay, 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.280 obviously you know that's You're You're, You're, You're Cam Newton, 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:52.280 Russell Wilson's, You're Aaron Rodgers. You know those. And the 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:57.680 last category of quarterback is the Arizona Cardinals with Carson Palmer, 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.720 what I will call the sun setting quarterbacks. These are 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:02.920 the quarterbacks that are kind of on the decline, getting 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.560 a little older, but they are institutions with their teams, 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:08.040 so you can't really do anything except ride out with 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:13.080 them into the sunset. Of this group, unfortunately, I think 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:17.399 Carson Palmer is the worst quarterback in this category. In 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:20.520 this category, he shares with guys like Eli Manning. He 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.919 shares with guys like Philip Rivers. He shares with guys 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.080 like Drew Brees. You know, he shares with guys like 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:30.600 Tom Brady. I think Carson Palmer is the worst of 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:34.080 that quarterback and sometimes play can fall off a cliff 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.480 very quickly. I am down on Carson Palmer. I think 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:42.040 he's like quarterbacks, say twenty four in the league, only 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:44.520 in two quarterback or super flex leagues, and I think 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.280 this means bad things in the short term for the 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:50.920 Arizona Cardinals at running back. Okay, fine, David Johnson, he's 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:53.520 my number two overall pick, my number two overall player 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:56.760 in Fantasy football this year's second only to leave on 0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:59.280 Bell And like I said, one of those workhorses when 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:02.080 you go to the wide eira position. I think Larry 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:03.840 Fitzgerald is kind of in this same boat. He had 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.240 a great season last year, over a hundred catches, but 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:09.000 he is not dynamic. He is not that playmaker. Okay, 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.520 I don't think he repeats the hundred catch season. If 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:13.960 he gets ninety catches, nine hundred yards, seven touchdowns, I 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:15.760 think you gotta be happy. My man. Corey Parts in 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.320 the Fantasy Executive has him ranked as wide out twenty four. 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:20.960 I actually think it might be slightly lower. Although you're 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:24.359 in a PPR league. I will take Larry Fitzgerald um 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:27.000 and a tight end. You know, Jamaine Gresham. I think 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.200 he's in that like tier three. I think he got 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:31.359 you some elite tight ends. You know, you're Jordan Reed, 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.400 Your Gronkowski, your Olsen's, your Kelsey's, and then you got 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:36.880 a big rough underbelly. You got tight ends like six 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:39.960 to thirteen that are kind of in the same group. 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:41.679 And I think Gresham, to be honest, is at the 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:45.560 very top of the next tier. So let me tell 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:47.679 you who my diamond in the rough is for the 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:52.000 Arizona Cardinals. It is Smokey Joe John Brown. Okay, this 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:55.240 guy was hurt all last year. This is the dynamic playmaker. 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:59.359 It is not Larry Fitzgerald anymore. It is smoke Brown. Okay. 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.960 And remember now no Michael Floyd there this year. The 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.159 number three this year is j J. Nelson. Then they 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:09.000 got like Chad Williams, Geron Brown. They're moving Andre Ellington 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:11.800 to wide receiver as well. That could be very interesting. 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:14.000 But I think John Brown is who was injured last year, 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:17.040 is gonna take a step forward. Corey Parson my man 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:20.000 has him listed as wide receiver sixty four. I think 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:23.600 Smokey Brown could be a little bit higher, and especially 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:25.919 if you're in a Best Ball league, this might be 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:29.000 a way to go um my fool gay zy for 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:33.639 the Arizona Cardinals. As the Cardinals defense. Okay, the Cardinals defense, 0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:36.280
