Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2: source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. Now
Speaker 2: along with the guys from leagues dot Com, here's your host,
Speaker 2: Paul Judge, who loves fantasy football.

Speaker 1: the show you'll want to stay tuned for some deep
Speaker 1: dive data. Those of you that have been here in
Speaker 1: years past, you know you're gonna get some super cool
Speaker 1: inside the five data that I feel like gives me
Speaker 1: the best advantage that I can possibly get. I want
Speaker 1: to introduce my co host you know them by name
Speaker 1: and by voice, but maybe not by face. We begin
Speaker 1: with my immediate left, Thor Nystrom.
Speaker 3: Hello.
Speaker 1: You may remember Thor from such touts as Pooka Nikula
Speaker 1: At this time last year. To the left of Thor,
Speaker 1: Scott Fish from the Scott Fish Bowl.
Speaker 4: What's going on?
Speaker 1: Hey, and at the end in something like your number
Speaker 1: twelve of Fantasy Football Weekly Service, Brian Johnson, Hey, hey,
Speaker 1: I just the Sam Darnold guy. You're the Sam darn
Speaker 1: At this time last year, on this very podium, you
Speaker 1: urge people to draft Kyrone Williams, correct, who was going
Speaker 1: undrafted at that time, one of your all time great
Speaker 1: touts right there.
Speaker 5: I went on to lose like three hundred dollars at
Speaker 5: the Blackact. I just walked away after my Kyron call.
Speaker 6: Thank you for that.
Speaker 1: You should have banked it on Kiren. Maybe that would
Speaker 1: have been the answer right there. We've got so much
Speaker 1: stuff to get to. We're gonna run through training camp
Speaker 1: news from around the league. We're gonna show you what
Speaker 1: we each believe, each one of us believes is the
Speaker 1: perfect first round of your draft. We'll also give you
Speaker 1: the most beloved segment that we will do all year,
Speaker 1: the reach Around. That's right, We'll be providing the reach
Speaker 1: around for you later on in this show. We'll answer
Speaker 1: three tough questions, and we have got plenty of sleepers
Speaker 1: to unveil as well. So so much to get to
Speaker 1: over the course of this show, and we are very
Speaker 1: excited to be here. I especially want to thank Treasure
Speaker 1: Island for the hospitality.
Speaker 6: This is free.
Speaker 1: You've got free food in the back until seven o'clock.
Speaker 1: You've got food vouchers in the little pamphlet that you've got,
Speaker 1: You've got ten dollars of free slot play, and we've
Speaker 1: also got drawings for concert tickets and the one thousand
Speaker 1: dollars grand prize. Holy cow. So yeah, thank you Treasure Island.
Speaker 1: Amazing hospitality.
Speaker 6: We love it. Thank you so much, Treasure Island. That
Speaker 6: is tremendous. All right, gentlemen.
Speaker 1: Uh oh, well, before we get into the training camp notes,
Speaker 1: one last thing I should probably mention. Couldn't say it
Speaker 1: last week, I can say it this week. Guillotine Leagues
Speaker 1: has I've sold Guillotine Leagues to Matthew Berry's Fantasy Life.
Speaker 1: As a part of that, we have a totally reskinned
Speaker 1: new app, We've got a new website, and private leagues
Speaker 1: are completely free for the first time ever. So all
Speaker 1: of that coming it now, it's all available now, public
Speaker 1: contests coming very soon. And so that's been an exciting
Speaker 1: new development that I've wanted to tell you about for
Speaker 1: a long time. And I can finally talk about it
Speaker 1: very exciting. It's gonna bring Guillotine Leagues to the masses.
Speaker 1: Do you have any Guillotine League players here?
Speaker 6: What do you think? Yeah, man, it's the best. We
Speaker 6: love we love it absolutely.
Speaker 1: I'll like Guillotine League's almost as much as my man
Speaker 1: in the tank, Big Speed Jersey up here. That that
Speaker 1: is impressive. All right, let's dive into some training camp notes.
Speaker 1: I want to begin with the Buffalo Bills. Scott, give
Speaker 1: us the update.
Speaker 4: Yeah, A lot of the reports early from the reporters
Speaker 4: are that the offense is running through Kincaid and Shakir,
Speaker 4: which I know you're gonna love. Charge you'll talk about.
Speaker 4: With Diggs gone, and of course gave Davis gone, they
Speaker 4: brought in Chase Claypool. He's on ir. They're kicking the
Speaker 4: tires on Corey Davis, who I thought retired.
Speaker 6: He's stilly Davis is.
Speaker 4: They're kicking the tires on him. Mavalon is gonna miss
Speaker 4: most of the season for the IDP heads in the crowd,
Speaker 4: but he missed a lot last season too.
Speaker 1: So do we have any individual defensive players people here?
Speaker 1: We got all right, we got a handful.
Speaker 4: We'll speaking to eight people on that way, Yeah you are.
Speaker 1: I play Brian. How about the Dolphins?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 6: Who wants to see charge take his pants off?
Speaker 1: Oh boy, I bring my man later. I've got a
Speaker 1: room tonight. Yeah, just bring up John H. Smith will
Speaker 1: be talking about John new Smith last week.
Speaker 5: I want to talk about rookie wide receiver Malik Washington,
Speaker 5: who's been turning the heads in camp, competing with the
Speaker 5: zombie corpse of Odell Beckham for the wide receiver re roll.
Speaker 6: I think he beats out Beckham.
Speaker 5: Beckham is old af and if something were to happen
Speaker 5: to Tyreek Hiller, Jalen Waddle YACHTSI for Malik Washington, a
Speaker 5: guy he can too much grab for free, and he's
Speaker 5: returning kicks. If you're playing in the scott Fish Bowl
Speaker 5: and you know about the sick oh scoring that this
Speaker 5: guy's come up with kick returning arts from Elak Washington too,
Speaker 5: I kind.
Speaker 6: Of like it.
Speaker 1: All right, Thor, let's go to Green Bay first?
Speaker 3: Do we have to?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Jeremy and the audience would really prefer that
Speaker 1: we do.
Speaker 6: We didn't go with the Packers.
Speaker 7: Jah all right, Marshawn Lloyd dealing with a hamstring injury.
Speaker 7: I like Marshaw Lloyd a lot as a prospect, and
Speaker 7: I thought I was hoping for more from him this year,
Speaker 7: But the fact that he's dealing with hamstring injury, I
Speaker 7: think locks in Jacobs is the high usage RB one
Speaker 7: and the better news for aj Dillon, who might have
Speaker 7: been struggling for a roster spot. If Marshall Lloyd was
Speaker 7: one hundred percent, he gonna be locked into RB two.
Speaker 7: I think Marshaon Lloyd's just a Dynasty guy at this point,
Speaker 7: but he's a Dynasty guy I would target.
Speaker 3: Jake was gonna be there for two years and.
Speaker 7: Then they're gonna cut him, and then it's gonna be
Speaker 7: Marshall Lloyd's show.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: As you know, I went to Thorn in the middle
Speaker 1: of my Dynasty draft a couple of days ago and
Speaker 1: we talked through exactly that I ended up drafting Marshawn Lloyd.
Speaker 6: I think late second, early second round. Yeah, yeah, like it. Browns.
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy's missed nearly all of training camp with the
Speaker 1: leg injury, but he returned to drills this week. It
Speaker 1: looks like Judy's gonna be ready for Week one, possible
Speaker 1: starter role opposite of Mary Cooper. In fact likely starters role.
Speaker 6: Deshaun Watson getting mixed reviews.
Speaker 1: You know they're still not gonna play him. Kevin Stefanski
Speaker 1: feels like Watson doesn't need more live reps.
Speaker 6: I totally disagree. I think he needs all the help
Speaker 6: he can get.
Speaker 1: I'm under the belief that Deshaun Watson is broken mentally
Speaker 1: and physically, and I'm not.
Speaker 4: You call him cooked or very well done.
Speaker 6: He well, we'll find out if he's cooked or very
Speaker 6: well done.
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb's still not practicing. In my personal estimation, I
Speaker 1: don't think Chubb's gonna be ready for the start of
Speaker 1: the season. And then when he does come in, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a light workload for Chubb. Right, it'll be
Speaker 1: eight carries in his first game, ten carries. It's not
Speaker 1: gonna go right back to the old days of eighteen
Speaker 1: twenty carries for Nick Chubb. All right, let's go to
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 3: Scott.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're now expecting Jonathan Brooks to be back around
Speaker 4: week three, week four, a little more ahead of schedule,
Speaker 4: unlike Chubb, who the reports are might take a little longer. Yes,
Speaker 4: Chuba Hubbard had a knee injury scare this week should
Speaker 4: be fine, he was already better than Miles Sanders should
Speaker 4: start the year out, and Deontay Johnson day to day
Speaker 4: with a groin.
Speaker 1: Deontay Johnson one of my favorite sleepers in this draft. Brian,
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Ravens.
Speaker 5: What's happening Golden Gopher Rashad Bateman getting rave reviews.
Speaker 6: No one's laughing at that.
Speaker 1: I don't even get it, wor laughed right, never mind,
Speaker 1: or got it at least. Rave reviews from John Harbaugh,
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna all right anyway. Okay, here's what Harbor had
Speaker 6: you get that?
Speaker 3: I didn't get that.
Speaker 6: You guys need to start drinking more or something.
Speaker 5: Man, geez all right, Rashad Babman Rave reviews from John Harbaugh. Uh,
Speaker 5: he said, quote Bateman's gonna take a big step. The
Speaker 5: ball is going to get to him a lot more.
Speaker 5: He's expected to be a top receiver in the league
Speaker 5: for us. That's what we're planning on. We've heard this
Speaker 5: a lot, but uh, the coach Speak index if you
Speaker 5: have If you don't follow the coach Speak Index on Twitter,
Speaker 5: I recommend it, he says. Harbaugh has an eighty five
Speaker 5: percent reliability rating.
Speaker 6: So, oh, that's hot. You gotta believe Harbor here Bateman
Speaker 6: will break out this year. It's gonna finally happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was one of the great things about Mike Zimmer.
Speaker 1: Dude just told the truth all the time, whether you
Speaker 1: want to hear it or not, which is great. Thor,
Speaker 1: let's go to Tampa Bay.
Speaker 7: I want to talk a little bit about Jalen McMillan,
Speaker 7: the rookie wide receiver from Washington who's getting a lot
Speaker 7: of hype. I like Jalen McMillan quite a bit. Actually,
Speaker 7: I rated him above Jalen Polk in the draft. Obviously
Speaker 7: he went a round and a half above. But here
Speaker 7: my concern is that the coaches are talking about moving
Speaker 7: Chris Godwin back into the slot. Yes, this year, they're
Speaker 7: talking about using McMillan on the outside. I'm just gonna
Speaker 7: tell you guys right now, that's not gonna work. Jalen
Speaker 7: McMillan is like a Tyler Boyd type slot receiver. This
Speaker 7: is just being done out of necessity for boundary wide
Speaker 7: receiver depth. I think Jalen McMillan now becomes a dynasty
Speaker 7: a guy that you target there and probably buy loan
Speaker 7: during the season, because I don't think he's gonna be
Speaker 7: doing much early on unless Godwin gets injured.
Speaker 1: All right, Mike, it might take Mike Evans to retire
Speaker 1: before he's got a reasonable spot in this offense. Let's
Speaker 1: go to the Texans. Jill Mixon returned from a quad injury.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna take this opportunity to second what Matt
Speaker 1: Harrison said on this show yesterday. I think I think
Speaker 1: the decline in metrics and the decline in play for
Speaker 1: Mixon last year was noticeable. Cincinnati shipped him off to Houston.
Speaker 1: This is I'm nervous about him, and I I don't
Speaker 1: believe he's good enough to do anything more than what
Speaker 1: Houston's electric offense gives him the opportunity to do either.
Speaker 1: Still a scenario here with Damian Pierce or Cam Akers
Speaker 1: end up having a factor in this offense. I'm not
Speaker 1: giving up on Damian Pierce quite yet. You'll remember I
Speaker 1: urged the Bills for years to stick with Zach Moss.
Speaker 1: They didn't do it, and he turned out to be
Speaker 1: a good player. I'm holding firm on my Damian Pierce
Speaker 1: takes hear.
Speaker 5: That tank bigs We got you gotta buy a Damian Pierster.
Speaker 1: That's right, that that one's next, All right, Scott, let's
Speaker 1: go to Jacksonville.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know that he does, because Tank Bigsby
Speaker 4: reportedly gonna see a larger role this year, which would
Speaker 4: be you know, basically anything compared to last year.
Speaker 1: You remember Bigsby scored in week one, Yeah, scored in
Speaker 1: week two, then dropped a couple of balls, had a
Speaker 1: fumble and never saw the field again.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Brian Thomas Junior also can't stop making great plays to
Speaker 4: the point where opposing beat reporters can't stop talking about
Speaker 4: it in uh in scrimmages.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm very high on him.
Speaker 4: By the way, Christian Kirk missing a practice time with
Speaker 4: the calf injury. Brian Thomas already has a pretty good
Speaker 4: path to a role, but if there's injuries.
Speaker 1: Who Yeah, we're gonna talk talk about Christian Kirk later
Speaker 1: in the show. I'm very excited for him.
Speaker 6: Brian.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Bengals.
Speaker 5: Jamar Chase still not practicing. He's looking to get paid.
Speaker 5: He's really playing for the wrong team if he's looking
Speaker 5: to get paid early. He's got two years left on
Speaker 5: his contract, the final year of his rookie deal this
Speaker 5: year in the fifth year option that the Bengals exercised
Speaker 5: earlier this offseason. I think this gets settled, but I'm
Speaker 5: starting to get a little nervous about Jamar Chase not practicing.
Speaker 5: He's been at practice, but recently hasn't been at practice.
Speaker 5: So if there's a dip, I'm still buying. But keep
Speaker 5: your eye on Jamar Chase, A big name holding.
Speaker 6: Out right now. We're watching that one closely. Thora let's
Speaker 6: go to Seattle. What's happening.
Speaker 7: So this isn't the thing I want to talk about,
Speaker 7: but I do just have to say it. JSN is
Speaker 7: going to the moon this season. I think he's in
Speaker 7: for a huge season. But the note that I wanted
Speaker 7: to mention Kenneth Walker. The coaches keep talking about him
Speaker 7: beating the drum of a three down back with him. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I mean we thought Charbonney was going to take over
Speaker 7: as the pass catcher there, if not as a rookie
Speaker 7: then going forward. Walker acquitted himself better as a receiver
Speaker 7: last season, and certainly he did at Michigan State when
Speaker 7: they didn't use him on passing downs. Really at all so,
Speaker 7: if he's gonna be the three down back going forward,
Speaker 7: obviously fantasy stock.
Speaker 1: Up for the Titans. Traylon Burks is running with the
Speaker 1: first team offense. You remember trailing Burks. Yeah, the corpse
Speaker 1: of trailing Burks running with the first team offense. But
Speaker 1: that's because DeAndre Hopkins is out and despite the prospect
Speaker 1: of being a Week one starter, Trailing Burks his ADP
Speaker 1: three hundred and fourteen. That's pretty low. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: his wide receiver one hundred and one, which is a
Speaker 1: revelation that there's one hundred and one wide receivers in
Speaker 1: the NFL right next to Traylon Burks and ADP. By
Speaker 1: the way, something called Lewis rees Zammitt, who I just
Speaker 1: hopes makes an NFL team because his name is Lewis
Speaker 1: Reese Zama.
Speaker 4: He's a rugby Chiefs Chiefs scrap all right, possible kick return?
Speaker 1: Really yeah, all right, I've impressed you guys. You know
Speaker 1: something about Lewis Reese Zammitt rugby guy. Tony Pollard and
Speaker 1: Tase Spears sharing first team offense. Looks Spears got a
Speaker 1: short touchdown last weekend. Pollard has been more effective with
Speaker 1: his carries and the last thing with the Titans, which
Speaker 1: is not normally an offensive spend a lot of time
Speaker 1: on if a case you need another reason not to
Speaker 1: draft tight end chig A konk Wu. He may be
Speaker 1: demoted to a time share and he's splitting first team
Speaker 1: reps with Josh Wiley, who's a better blocker.
Speaker 6: So chig A Konklu to me not interested?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wasn't drafting him anyway.
Speaker 1: I don't think you were Kansas City. You mentioned the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: Are you gonna break down Lewis rees Zammitt for no.
Speaker 4: No, I'm not. I'm just gonna mention Hollywood Brown expected
Speaker 4: to miss four to six week weeks with that sternoclavicular
Speaker 4: shoulder joint injury. I won't need surgery. He's gonna let
Speaker 4: it heal on its own. And also, the Chiefs are
Speaker 4: likely down to this season with Jess Pacheco and Clyde
Speaker 4: Edwards Hilaire at running backs. A little bit draftable in
Speaker 4: case they're.
Speaker 6: That generic Prince period was Remember that those two games.
Speaker 4: He got a couple reps. Last the last.
Speaker 1: Game, let's go to the Colts.
Speaker 5: Brian rookie receiver A Donna Mitchell turning heads recently, and
Speaker 5: we mentioned this last week. Josh downs out with a
Speaker 5: high ankle spring for at least six weeks. So some
Speaker 5: serious steam from a Donna Mitchell right now, someone who's
Speaker 5: climbing up draft boards. And we're still not liking Alec
Speaker 5: Pierce a whole lot, right fish, even though he's very
Speaker 5: cardiovascular fit. He runs track out there, he runs a
Speaker 5: lot of it's a lot of laps, but no catches.
Speaker 6: So let's go to the Saints.
Speaker 1: And if it were up to me, the entire thing
Speaker 1: would be about Rashid Shaheed, as you know.
Speaker 6: But I'm guessing you've got something else. No you guessed,
Speaker 6: all right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, all right, but maybe some cold water.
Speaker 7: Unfortunately, Oh so Rashid Shah he had a foot injury.
Speaker 7: Now he has a hamstring injury, A separate one for
Speaker 7: a speed guy.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 7: I mean that's a big part of the utility. There
Speaker 7: A little bit concerning now that we are, how close
Speaker 7: are we to see we're a few weeks away if
Speaker 7: he has compromised at all or has to miss game time.
Speaker 7: Chris o'lave, a guy that I already love, is even
Speaker 7: further up. I think Chris o'lave is being underdrafted, but
Speaker 7: certainly monitor Rashichi heat if you are an owner.
Speaker 3: Like Paul and I are in plenty of elites.
Speaker 1: All right, final update for this segment in Philadelphia Open
Speaker 1: Battle for the backup role behind Saquon Barkley, your incumbent
Speaker 1: is Kenneth Gainwell. He's getting tested by rookie fourth rounder
Speaker 1: Will Shipley. I think Shipley thor is a little faster,
Speaker 1: a little more athletic than Kenneth Gainwell. But Gamewell knows
Speaker 1: the system right, He's not going to screw anything up.
Speaker 1: Do you think Shipley at any point is a problem
Speaker 1: for Kenneth Gainwell.
Speaker 3: I don't like Shipley.
Speaker 7: Shipley's not a good between the tackles runners, so he
Speaker 7: just has to do the receiving stuff.
Speaker 3: He drops too many balls, at least for me, so
Speaker 3: Gainwell might be stay.
Speaker 1: There, all right, drops more a special order. Is that
Speaker 1: what you're saying? That's exactly what I thought. That's what
Speaker 1: you were trying to get to. All right, Let's take
Speaker 1: a break. When you come back, we'll go through the
Speaker 1: rest of the NFL. Give you the updates on the
Speaker 1: training camp plus the perfect first Round draft.
Speaker 6: Will be unveiled.
Speaker 1: We've got four different variations of a perfect draft. Ultimately
Speaker 1: the crowd here will decide which is most perfect and
Speaker 1: the reach around coming up between now and the rest
Speaker 1: of the show Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly,
Speaker 1: Paul Charchi and Yeah, absolutely a live audience here at
Speaker 1: Treasure Island. Thank you so much for coming down.
Speaker 3: Great to be here.
Speaker 1: We love actually seeing the bases of the listeners, well
Speaker 1: most most of your faces necessarily all of you, so
Speaker 1: mean Paul Charchi and Thorneys from Scott Fish, Brian Johnson.
Speaker 1: We're rolling through training camp news. Coming out of that,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about our perfect drafts. We are up with
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers, Scott.
Speaker 4: Sure, best Ball and rookie Fever dream Comani Vidal projected
Speaker 4: to miss the cut now after Patterson and Jared Patterson's
Speaker 4: been out playing him. Also a small school six round pick.
Speaker 4: He's also listed behind Elijah Dotson, JK. Dobbins and Gus
Speaker 4: Edwards aren't losing their jobs, and Isaiah Spiller is the
Speaker 4: special team starter, so he might be out of a
Speaker 4: roster spot.
Speaker 1: We talked about him favorably a week ago now, Yes.
Speaker 4: The tweets about him out there, all right, send him
Speaker 4: to the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Get him on Kenny, get him on the Cowboys. I
Speaker 1: know that is a that one is worth watching for sure.
Speaker 1: I just I drafted at Ezekiel Elliott in like the
Speaker 1: ninth round of a guillotine league with eighteen teams.
Speaker 6: And nobody interested in him right now?
Speaker 4: Is that ours? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think you're actually in that one. Yes, thank you
Speaker 1: for passing him that many times. Let's Brian, Let's go
Speaker 1: to the Raiders.
Speaker 6: What's happening?
Speaker 5: Raiders have the most heated quarterback battle in the league.
Speaker 5: I really want to know who was gonna win this job,
Speaker 5: because I'm pretty high on this offense all of a sudden,
Speaker 5: especially the pass catchers Davante Adams of course, Jacobe Meers,
Speaker 5: my boy, and Brock bowers.
Speaker 3: By and all in, all of them in bulk.
Speaker 5: And if whether it's Aiden O'Connell or Gardner, Minshew, I'm
Speaker 5: team AOC, I know your team, Minshew, charge.
Speaker 6: I am, I'm team Minchell. Want to break the tie.
Speaker 5: But either one is gonna be serviceable in some serious
Speaker 5: late round value in either best ball or superflex.
Speaker 1: H you know a lot of Viking fans in the room,
Speaker 1: we remember Aidan O'Connell from that three to zero game
Speaker 1: last year. That makes it a little bit hard to
Speaker 1: muster enthusiasm for him. Classic rewatch, that really is right,
Speaker 1: instant classic that one. Let's go to San Francisco.
Speaker 7: Thor Brandon Ayuk rumors. I know you guys are as
Speaker 7: sick of them as I am. We have another change
Speaker 7: to day. Apparently now there's a better chance he's gonna
Speaker 7: stay with San Francisco, be it through an extension or
Speaker 7: he wants the other year of his contract reworked, but
Speaker 7: still might get traded. I mean, we're gonna have to see.
Speaker 7: We're not at the finish line yet. But if he
Speaker 7: were to be traded, I think the biggest beneficiary would
Speaker 7: be George Kittle because Ayuk is their single high coverage guy.
Speaker 7: He destroys single high coverage Kittles. The other one, Deebo
Speaker 7: Samuel is the double high guy, the two I safety
Speaker 7: guy where he eats.
Speaker 3: So just something to keep an eye him.
Speaker 7: But right this second, it would appear that Brandon Ayuk
Speaker 7: will be staying.
Speaker 6: But Jane, right, what about Ricky Piersoll?
Speaker 1: If he goes I like breaking pier Sali.
Speaker 3: Yeah, quite a bit. That he'd been struggling with the injuries.
Speaker 7: But if we get the Ayuk trade and then Pierce
Speaker 7: All gets over those injuries, yeah, I think he starts fast.
Speaker 3: It's a guy who is wide receiver.
Speaker 7: Won the last three years for Jayden Daniels at Arizona State,
Speaker 7: Anthony Richardson in Florida, and then Graham Mertz last season.
Speaker 7: Very good route runner, maybe the best set of hands
Speaker 7: in the entire class.
Speaker 3: That stuff that Kyle Shanahanky.
Speaker 1: Used, all right, fantastic. Let's go to the Lions. Jamier
Speaker 1: Gibbs has got a hamstring injury. We hate hamstrings because
Speaker 1: they're nagging, they reinjure. But fortunately he suffered a twenty
Speaker 1: seven days before the start of the season, and the
Speaker 1: timetables got him coming back before week one, and in
Speaker 1: the preseason, you don't take any chances with the hamstring injury.
Speaker 6: You just rest him.
Speaker 1: In the regular season. Desperate teams do dumb stuff and
Speaker 1: they rush people back from hamstrings. That won't happen here.
Speaker 1: And the other thing of the Lions or there isn't
Speaker 1: a ton of action fantasy wise, Craig Reynolds and Vaki
Speaker 1: Is that right, thors Vaki, I believe, Yeah, Cooni Vaki
Speaker 1: are battling for the roster spot behind uh, Jamier Gibbs
Speaker 1: and David Montgomery. Who is Cion Vaki do I need?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: He played safety most of his career.
Speaker 6: That's not a good sign.
Speaker 7: And then one one random week last last year, the
Speaker 7: Utes had all these injuries and they switched him to
Speaker 7: running back without telling anyone. Okay, cal the guy ran
Speaker 7: for like one hundred and seventy five shut up. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 7: and I guess the Lions. You know, now you have
Speaker 7: the versatility, but they're playing him more at running back
Speaker 7: by Yeah, interesting player.
Speaker 6: All right, Let's go to the New England Patriots. Scott.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a few things here, but I'll just stick
Speaker 4: to the quarterback situation where Jacoby Brissette has not looked
Speaker 4: good Drake May. Just a week ago they thought maybe
Speaker 4: he should sit for a while, and then he gets
Speaker 4: a rushing touchdown and has a really good night last night,
Speaker 4: and now they all want him to start. So keep
Speaker 4: an eye on that one. But I think we might
Speaker 4: start to see May earlier than expected.
Speaker 3: Brian.
Speaker 6: Let's go to Dallas.
Speaker 5: The Patriots have like eight sleeper wide receivers this year,
Speaker 5: Kishon Booty is a thing again. So all right, anyway,
Speaker 5: the Cowboy, Yeah, we gotta go to Dallas. I guess
Speaker 5: where Ceedee Lamb's still holding out another monster name wide receiver,
Speaker 5: refusing to play until he gets paid. We'll see if
Speaker 5: Jerry Jones calls his bluff or not. But Brandon Cooks
Speaker 5: is banged up with a knee injury. That means Jalen
Speaker 5: Pulbert's stock is surging. He was going virtually undrafted in
Speaker 5: eighteen round leagues early this summer. He's now going in
Speaker 5: the fourteenth round and that might keep climbing. So hopefully
Speaker 5: you packed your bags on Jalen Tolbert because again price
Speaker 5: is going up.
Speaker 6: But a guy you want to keep tabs on.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Arizona.
Speaker 7: Yeah, what I want to talk about here is Trey Benson,
Speaker 7: a guy who, yeah, he was a difficult evaluation because
Speaker 7: he ripped it up. In twenty twenty two, he broke
Speaker 7: the PFF charting record in college for a misforced tackle rate.
Speaker 7: But then last year, do you guys remember Kaylen Bolage?
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, absolutely, Kaylin Blage was another like big athletic
Speaker 7: freak at running back who ran the ball like he
Speaker 7: had the vision of mister Magoo or like he was
Speaker 7: wearing like drunk goggles. And sometimes we saw that last
Speaker 7: year with Trey Benson, another athletic freak who also has
Speaker 7: a multi faceted skill set.
Speaker 3: He's a good receiver.
Speaker 7: Too, but sometimes the vision in the field waiver on him.
Speaker 7: And that's what we've been seeing so far in camp.
Speaker 7: So not good for this coming season. It is good though,
Speaker 7: from the perspective of James Connor, who now has a
Speaker 7: stranglehole than that RB one John.
Speaker 1: He really does, and I think being underdrafted right now
Speaker 1: as well lew with that for sure. Yeah, we're gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you some great data on him. After
Speaker 1: the show.
Speaker 5: About Klein, we want to talk about next Alfred Blue.
Speaker 1: Chicago's trying to salvage the career of Vellas Jones by
Speaker 1: moving him to running back. He's scored in last week's
Speaker 1: preseason game. Bears have got that deep roster of running backs, though,
Speaker 1: it's a real problem and nobody's going to come out
Speaker 1: of that. I think with much of uh well, Vellas
Speaker 1: Jones isn't going to come out of that with much
Speaker 1: time the Bears. Other runners have gotten mixed usage. It's
Speaker 1: believed that DeAndre Swift is going to be the lead back,
Speaker 1: but Khalil Herbert has looked really good in the two
Speaker 1: preseason games. Roshawn Johnson still there. I know that you
Speaker 1: were high on him last year, and last year they
Speaker 1: rotated the backs a lot, but that was a Luke
Speaker 1: Getsy offense. Now we've got Shane Waldron in and he
Speaker 1: really pounded Kenneth Walker last year. So I think this
Speaker 1: thing is still up in the air and how Chikaia
Speaker 1: was going to use theirs. But the belief is that
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift it will be the lead back. But I
Speaker 1: still drew. I still view this as a fluid and
Speaker 1: potentially frustrating backfield.
Speaker 5: I don't like that Bears fan was laughing while you
Speaker 5: were talking about Felis Jones as a running back.
Speaker 1: Ridiculous. Let's go to the command No, not Commander's giants.
Speaker 4: Scott Malik Neighbors looking incredible. Tweaked his ankle this week,
Speaker 4: should be fine. Returned right back to practice Thursday. Uh
Speaker 4: Tyrone Tracy who I know Thorn? I really like. Uh
Speaker 4: carted off after a sprain ankle earlier this week, also
Speaker 4: returned back to practice Thursday. Apparently they just keep spraining
Speaker 4: ankles and coming right back, so they should be both
Speaker 4: be fine. Tracy, I like, is a really deep sleeper
Speaker 4: this year?
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the Commanders Brian receiver we
Speaker 1: were all high on last year, Johan Dotson.
Speaker 5: Ah, yeah, he wet the bid big time, but he
Speaker 5: is not locked in as a starter this year alongside
Speaker 5: Harry McLaurin. It could be a ole media Zakias, I
Speaker 5: say that, right, Scott Chaus. Maybe rookie Luke McCaffrey, who
Speaker 5: Thor loves. Can McCaffrey play the boundaries?
Speaker 6: Thor?
Speaker 3: Sure, kem okay?
Speaker 5: But yeah, Dotson looking a little dicey for him. He
Speaker 5: has been getting work in the slot those so we
Speaker 5: should be on the field. But he's going well ahead
Speaker 5: of Luke McCaffrey. I think those ADPs should probably be
Speaker 5: flipped at this point, we say, Thor agreed.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And the concern there if Dotson does come in
Speaker 7: as wide receiver three is you guys? Recall Washington drafted
Speaker 7: Ben Sennett in the second round. Ben Sennett's been great
Speaker 7: so far this preseason. They could be going to more
Speaker 7: twelve personnel offense. Obviously, the wide receiver three is gonna
Speaker 7: get yanked off the field when that happens.
Speaker 6: All right, Thorp, Let's go to the Jets, all right.
Speaker 7: Malachi Corley, a guy who I tried to tell everyone
Speaker 7: in the spring was not good, has predictably not been
Speaker 7: good early on in camp. Malachi Corley is not a
Speaker 7: wide receiver. He is a glorified running back who plays
Speaker 7: slot receiver. At Western Kentucky. You got a metric ton
Speaker 7: of catches because they would just shuttle him the ball
Speaker 7: off close to the line of scrimmage. They did this
Speaker 7: air raid whatever, and then Malachi Corley broke up on
Speaker 7: tackles of crappy comforts USA defenses. Conference USA is now
Speaker 7: the worst conference in the FBS. But for me, Corley
Speaker 7: harkins back to when Green Bay drafted Amari Rodgers and
Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers hated working with him, and then he was
Speaker 7: quickly ushered out. Malchi Corley is basically the exact same game,
Speaker 7: and I don't know that he's gonna be playing much
Speaker 7: this year.
Speaker 1: All right, great, great Intel Falcons. Michael Pennix. That first
Speaker 1: round pick, the shocking first round pick, looked very promising
Speaker 1: in his NFL debut. They've said Kirk Cousins will not
Speaker 1: play in the preseason, so we're not going to get
Speaker 1: any ability to compare and contrast those two. Cousins, by
Speaker 1: all reports, is fully healed from the achilles injury, no
Speaker 1: issues there, throwing the ball and planting very very very
Speaker 1: very well. Wide receiver Rondell Moore lost for the season
Speaker 1: with a knee injury. That solidifies playing time for Darnell
Speaker 1: Mooney and for anybody who wants to really deplay Ray.
Speaker 1: Ray McCloud is your new number three wide receiver for
Speaker 1: the Falcons. A couple of teams left to Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wish I could be talking about Brandon right now,
Speaker 4: but when that p Hiss Stealers career kind of rivals
Speaker 4: Antonio Brown's Bill's career. So Jalen Warren couldn't fully beat
Speaker 4: out Naji Harris somehow, so it still might be a split.
Speaker 4: And with Arthur Smith there both in contract years, I
Speaker 4: don't want anything to do with that now. Also, of note,
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson in practice through a touchdown pass to Justin
Speaker 4: Fields and Justin Out at one hand itself. Justin field's
Speaker 4: kick returner, wide receiver out quarterback.
Speaker 1: At this point, get break open your scoring system right there? Yeah, Brian,
Speaker 1: how about our very own Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 6: I don't know what's happened with the Vikings lately.
Speaker 4: I have nothing to talk about here the rest of
Speaker 4: the segment.
Speaker 5: I just want to take a minute to talk directly
Speaker 5: to Sam Donald out there.
Speaker 6: I hope he can hear this.
Speaker 5: It's time for all Vikings fans and fantasy football players
Speaker 5: to rally behind Sam Darnold, who's going to resurrect his
Speaker 5: career with the Minnesota Vikings throwing to the greatest wide
Speaker 5: receiver in the world. Has never played for real football team.
Speaker 5: So I'm sorry about JJ McCarthy, especially the four Yeah
Speaker 5: sort pegged the JJ McCarthy real life draft, I mean,
Speaker 5: so impressive. McCarthy will be back, But it's Sam Donald's season, baby,
Speaker 5: summer of Sam.
Speaker 6: Let's go couple. Come on.
Speaker 1: People still reluctant to support Sam Donald. They're they're understandably hesitant.
Speaker 1: That my favorite thing on Donald that I've that I've
Speaker 1: turned up since the Vikings signed him. Of every head
Speaker 1: coach and offensive coordinator he has ever played, ever started for,
Speaker 1: so not San Francisco last year, but everybody else, and
Speaker 1: it's a long list because they kept turning head coaches
Speaker 1: and offensive coordinators and all these teams, one of them
Speaker 1: is in the league today. All the restaurant of work,
Speaker 1: I mean, Sam Donald has been dealt a bad hand.
Speaker 1: That does not mean he's gonna be good, but it is.
Speaker 1: There's reason for optimism, and there's clear this is the
Speaker 1: best landing spot that he's had in his career. All right,
Speaker 1: Thor you've actually got the last two teams, Broncos and
Speaker 1: then the Rams.
Speaker 7: With the Broncos, I got a couple ones. Javonte Williams
Speaker 7: has looked really, really good in camp, so that that's
Speaker 7: good to see. Finally looks like he's getting close to
Speaker 7: one hundred percent. Looks like he's gonna be the early
Speaker 7: down back with McLoughlin probably becoming the receiving back. And
Speaker 7: then the other thing, Marvin Mims looks up hitting on
Speaker 7: the wide receiving core. Marvin Mims looks like he's toast.
Speaker 7: Troy Franklin has been terrible so far. Josh Reynolds would
Speaker 7: be the beneficiary of all this if both that continues,
Speaker 7: in addition to more targets going to the running backs
Speaker 7: in this case McLoughlin and the one other sort of
Speaker 7: deep deep sleeper guy I wanted to shout out here.
Speaker 7: Devon Veley from Utah was a cleveand teammate of Hoki. Yeah,
Speaker 7: he has been getting some pub in camp. He's like
Speaker 7: this blank canvas guy who didn't do anything in college.
Speaker 7: But he's six five to two ten and he had
Speaker 7: a RAS of like, you know, ninety eight percentile. I mean,
Speaker 7: he is an athletic freak. Last year Utah's quarterback situation
Speaker 7: what's terrible.
Speaker 3: So maybe we won't hold that against Vley.
Speaker 7: Someone to monitor if you're in super deep dynasty formats.
Speaker 3: What's his name again, Devon Vley?
Speaker 1: Okay, Devon Vley, not Van Dale, gotcha all exactly?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 7: Lastly, Rams, then we'll wrap up Rams. Jordan Whittington had
Speaker 7: a good preseason game. He's been getting some hype and
Speaker 7: McVeigh Sean McVeigh did say he's going to.
Speaker 4: Have a role, gonna be fact.
Speaker 3: Or a factor.
Speaker 7: I'm not buying the hype on Jordan Whittington. You guys,
Speaker 7: remember what I just said about Malachi Corley. Jordan Whittington
Speaker 7: is a poor man's Malachi Corley.
Speaker 6: It's a dollar Tree.
Speaker 7: Yes, he's another manufactured touch slot receiver who's actually more
Speaker 7: of a running back. In that game, he got touches
Speaker 7: against guys who are going to be practice squad or
Speaker 7: out of the league, against soft zone, vanilla coverage. When
Speaker 7: you're sitting back, the defense is sitting back. That's when
Speaker 7: you can get the manufactured touches to that guy. Sure
Speaker 7: he could break some tackles the guys who are gonna
Speaker 7: be out of the NFL in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 7: I don't see it happening during the regular season. He
Speaker 7: is certainly not.
Speaker 6: Pooka a CoA, no poking outstanding. He's not even DeMarcus Robinson. No,
Speaker 6: he probably isn't. As a matter of fact, I love
Speaker 6: Decus Robinson. I don't know about you, guys. Goodyear or two.
Speaker 1: When we come back, the perfect first Round, can it
Speaker 1: be done? We're gonna give you our four variations of
Speaker 1: what we think is the perfect first round. You in
Speaker 1: attendance will be able to vote for the best one.
Speaker 1: We'll talk it through the first round. When we come
Speaker 1: back to Fantasy Football Weekly Live a Treasure Island. Welcome back,
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly live from Treasure Island. This is a
Speaker 1: highlight of our year, for sure. We love talking to
Speaker 1: all of you, seeing you all here. Everybody's excited for
Speaker 1: football season, Fantasy football season. Don't know for sure what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen with the Vikings, but we do know that
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great fantasy here they all are.
Speaker 1: Let's talk through the perfect first round. We each think
Speaker 1: the four of us that we have concocted the perfect
Speaker 1: first round. You will have the opportunity to weigh in
Speaker 1: with your own preferences and see who's closest to what
Speaker 1: you think is perfect. We're gonna show you each round
Speaker 1: of a twelve team draft in the first round, and
Speaker 1: we'll we'll talk through each one of the rounds.
Speaker 6: Now, the first round.
Speaker 1: There's not a lot to say because all four of
Speaker 1: your hosts are on. Christian McCaffrey, even me, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm mister do the opposite. I don't like to take
Speaker 1: run in in my drafts, but sometimes it's so compelling
Speaker 1: that even I would take a running back in the
Speaker 1: first round. Any of no objections to this, right? Is
Speaker 1: there anybody who would not make this Christian McCaffrey. Pick
Speaker 1: I got one too, who would you take? Yell it
Speaker 1: out Priest Holmes and Tyreek Hill Okay, okay, Price Hall okay, right,
Speaker 1: not Priest Holmes.
Speaker 6: Okay, got it? Got it okay.
Speaker 5: I mean speaking of Priest Holmes, I mean McCaffrey is
Speaker 5: like the closest thing that we've had to Priest Holmes.
Speaker 6: Tomlinson, he's that. I mean, it's a dying breed.
Speaker 8: There's Jersey here man, what of the odds? Look at
Speaker 8: that Priest hol Dang Priest Holves and take big dude.
Speaker 6: That's all we got.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got a great his similar career arcs. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go to pick number two of the first round
Speaker 1: and we finally get some different answers. Thor, you're probably
Speaker 1: the biggest outlier here with Justin Jefferson in your number
Speaker 1: two position in the first round. Talk to us about
Speaker 1: why you've got Justin Jefferson here.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean he's gonna be a ludicrous target hound this year.
Speaker 7: I mean, so Hawkinson, as we all know, is not
Speaker 7: gonna be starting the season. I also start to wonder
Speaker 7: when Hawkinson is like preparing to come back, there's no
Speaker 7: need to rush him right.
Speaker 3: I mean, so they're gonna let.
Speaker 7: Hawkinson because the Vikings are not gonna be good this year.
Speaker 7: They're gonna let him have as much time as he wants.
Speaker 7: And then Addison, we'll see about the start of the season,
Speaker 7: but then we might get a suspension in October. That's
Speaker 7: when when his court date is. And then also the
Speaker 7: other thing is the game scripts are gonna be going
Speaker 7: in the direction of the passing game as well. Justin
Speaker 7: Jefferson last year was on a two thousand yard pace
Speaker 7: playing with the trashiest quarterbacks you've ever seen.
Speaker 6: Oh oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1: What are you saying about Kirk Cousins, your NFL passing
Speaker 1: leader when he went down?
Speaker 3: Perhaps Cousins, but there is others you've met after.
Speaker 6: So you're saying, they.
Speaker 5: Don't have a trashy quarterback anymore, and you believe in
Speaker 5: Sam Darnold.
Speaker 7: That's exactly what I said. Finally, exactly what I was saying.
Speaker 7: And I think the offense will be a little bit
Speaker 7: better than people think. The Vikings have a really, really
Speaker 7: good offensive line. They're gonna be able to run the
Speaker 7: ball this year. They finally have a competence starting running
Speaker 7: back and again metric ton of targets for Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 1: Now for Brian and Scott Fish if at this time
Speaker 1: next week we're doing fantasy football weekly next week and
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb still hasn't shown up? Is he in your
Speaker 1: number two position? Like you've got him right now?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm I'm not worried about a holdout. When was
Speaker 4: the last meaningful holdout? Like non rookie stud that misc
Speaker 4: It was that Emmett Smith in the early nineties, like
Speaker 4: it's had a couple of rookies, but all the more
Speaker 4: recent ones twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, twenty twelve, they were
Speaker 4: all they all came back the week before the season started.
Speaker 4: So next week, I'm still not worried.
Speaker 1: Still not worried. I've got Tyreek Hill in number two
Speaker 1: position because I love the consistency and I love the
Speaker 1: fact that they use him near the goal line.
Speaker 6: We'll talk more about that.
Speaker 1: One hundred and seventy one hundred and seventy one targets
Speaker 1: the last two years.
Speaker 5: Ceedee Lamb ten yards per carry last year, two rushing touchdowns.
Speaker 6: I got about that. Donald to do that? Actually, yeah, impressive,
Speaker 6: all right?
Speaker 1: The third pick overall, we've got Bjeon, Robinson, Breeshall, Breese Hall,
Speaker 1: and CD Lamb like John Robinson once again, Thor bucking
Speaker 1: a lot of trends here. Talk to me about Bijon
Speaker 1: all the way up at pick number three.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's gonna get a big time usage spike in
Speaker 7: what is going to be a much better offense in
Speaker 7: an offense this year being run by an analytics guy.
Speaker 7: You could say that Arthur Smith would be the opposite
Speaker 7: of that would probably yes, fair to say. I just
Speaker 7: think both those things in combination, that the spiked usage
Speaker 7: in a much better offense.
Speaker 1: Tyler Lgier scares me. I just think he's gonna have
Speaker 1: more another season where he gets more of a role,
Speaker 1: and especially at the goal line.
Speaker 4: I don't know as a guy who played in the
Speaker 4: league with Tyler.
Speaker 1: Elgier, Yes, yes, a close personal friend that you are.
Speaker 4: That guy wins seven and seven. He's kind of he's kind.
Speaker 6: Of in the average.
Speaker 1: All right, So Brian, tell me about Bresall. What do
Speaker 1: you like about Bresol enough to move him all the
Speaker 1: way up to number three here?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's early for running back, but Bristol kind of
Speaker 5: feels like he's fallen into that Priest Holmes, La Danian
Speaker 5: Thomlinson tier of your I mean, seventy six catches last year.
Speaker 5: He was coming off major knee injury. I mean, he's
Speaker 5: he's gonna get Bell Cow usage in New York behind
Speaker 5: a good offensive line, a good offense. He could very
Speaker 5: well Usurt mccaffery's the overall top fantasy players.
Speaker 4: Also, he had eleven rushes over fifteen yards and seven
Speaker 4: receptions over twenty year.
Speaker 6: How about that?
Speaker 4: Just explosive.
Speaker 1: He Bresaw is such a better pass catcher than I
Speaker 1: think most people realize.
Speaker 6: Ninety five targets. How about that ninety five it's a ton,
Speaker 6: it's Eckler Like.
Speaker 1: Let's go to pick number four of the first round,
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, Jamar Chase, Bjon Robinson and Jamar ch So
Speaker 1: let's talk about Jamar Chase for a minute. Brian, what
Speaker 1: made you put Jamar Chase here? He's pretty nasty.
Speaker 5: I don't know, He's just really good, good, good strength
Speaker 5: to schedule for Cincinnati wide receivers.
Speaker 6: And what separates Chase from me? For Jefferson?
Speaker 5: And now I'm gonna like sort of talk down on
Speaker 5: Sam Darnold. But it's his quarterback, Jamar Chase as the
Speaker 5: best quarterback of all the elite wide receivers, better than Dak,
Speaker 5: better than Donald even.
Speaker 6: That's why hopefully he doesn't hold out though.
Speaker 5: Okay, Jamar Chase can't go wrong there and huge massive
Speaker 5: spike weeks with the safe floor too, he has single
Speaker 5: handedly one.
Speaker 1: Leagues for sure. Jamar Chase very very safe here. Three
Speaker 1: of the four of us have him in position number four.
Speaker 1: I'm holding firm, just one running back so far. Let's
Speaker 1: see what happens next. Pick number five, Seede Lamb the
Speaker 1: Sun God, I'm on Ross Saint Brown, Justin Jefferson and
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. We get our first appearance of I'm on
Speaker 1: Ross Saint Brown. Brian talk about why you've got him
Speaker 1: higher than anybody else.
Speaker 5: Don't like him in GIA teen leagues as much with
Speaker 5: that week five bye, But I don't know.
Speaker 6: Some God is also safe as it comes. He can
Speaker 6: that offense.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of competition for targets, but he is
Speaker 5: the alpha. And uh, you know, weather terrorism is not
Speaker 5: going to affect the Lions this year. They play like
Speaker 5: all but two games indoors. I think I put stock
Speaker 5: into that and I don't know, even though he was
Speaker 5: kind of annoying in that receiver show.
Speaker 6: In my mind, I don't care. It's a points so drafted.
Speaker 4: Even in guillotine leagues, he had double digit PPR points
Speaker 4: in almost every game.
Speaker 6: It was the week sixteen of seventeen games he was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was the top fifteen receiver ten times last year.
Speaker 6: Yep. I couldn't.
Speaker 1: I could not even with that early by I'm all over.
Speaker 1: I'm on Ross Saint Brown, even in the guillotine format.
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson has now been accounted for by everybody except Brian.
Speaker 1: Let's see if he shows up here. There he goes
Speaker 1: so thorer. You finally got bris Hall in here. I
Speaker 1: still haven't taken him. And it's not because I don't
Speaker 1: love Brits Hall. It's just because he's a running back
Speaker 1: and we've still got awesome receivers on the board, and philosophically,
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with proven awesome receivers over basically everybody except
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean a little bit different of a strategy.
Speaker 7: I tend to go running backs a little bit earlier
Speaker 7: if they get really yeah, I mean, like if the
Speaker 7: usage is there, the projected usage is there because the
Speaker 7: position falls off so fast. And I agree with everything
Speaker 7: that Brian was saying about Breese Hall and our friend
Speaker 7: over there that said he was the you know that
Speaker 7: he would take.
Speaker 1: Him number one.
Speaker 7: Yeah, a metric ton of usages coming, you guys. Recall
Speaker 7: Breese Hall came into the league with the injury, you know,
Speaker 7: and everything like that, and now you're gonna see him at.
Speaker 3: The peak of his powers.
Speaker 7: And then outside of Garrett Wilson, what else do they
Speaker 7: have there? I think he's going to get a lot
Speaker 7: of targets as well.
Speaker 3: Mike Williams. Can he stay healthy?
Speaker 7: You know my opinion of Malachi Corley right then, it's
Speaker 7: just like Conklin and he's like the efficiency guy. But yeah,
Speaker 7: I think a lot of a lot of usage coming
Speaker 7: for Breeze.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to pick number seven. Tyrek Kill,
Speaker 1: Tyra Kill, Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 6: Aj Brown.
Speaker 1: It sounds like one of the slot machines right outside
Speaker 1: the door here, Tyrek Hill, Tyreek Hill, Tyreek Hill. All right,
Speaker 1: So I had Tyreek Hill way up at number two.
Speaker 1: You guys are killing me right now. What is it
Speaker 1: that you don't like about Tyreek Hill? To punish him
Speaker 1: way down to number seven.
Speaker 5: I just feel like I'm scared to death every time
Speaker 5: he's playing. But he's not going to finish the game.
Speaker 5: I mean last year he was on a record setting pace,
Speaker 5: and yes he fizzled out, and I'm not predicting injury
Speaker 5: by any means.
Speaker 6: It's on the wrong side of thirty.
Speaker 4: I think churched. Just listen to conying for John who Smith.
Speaker 6: I always account for John hus Smith. Here's my angle
Speaker 6: on Hill.
Speaker 1: Though.
Speaker 5: Wherever you get him, he'll probably get off to a
Speaker 5: great start. I flip him after a hot start because
Speaker 5: their playoff schedule is brutal Miami. So at any point,
Speaker 5: like last year, if you were to trade Tyreek Hill
Speaker 5: in Week eight, you could have gotten anything you wanted
Speaker 5: in return. And if he gets off to that kind
Speaker 5: of start again, I'm gonna flip Pill for all right,
Speaker 5: major game.
Speaker 4: I think it's just a little nitpicky. You got John Euan,
Speaker 4: you got a chen who might take a bigger step
Speaker 4: forward and especially in the past game, and uh yeah,
Speaker 4: it's just a little nitpicky.
Speaker 1: Let's go to pick number eight.
Speaker 4: A J.
Speaker 6: Brown.
Speaker 1: A J.
Speaker 6: Brown to A J.
Speaker 1: Brown's Jamar Chase and Bryce Hall Brian, give me fifteen
Speaker 1: seconds on AJ Brown.
Speaker 5: Here, Philly's gonna throw more with new O c Kellen Moore,
Speaker 5: you would suspect and A J. Brown He's he's a beast,
Speaker 5: he's a legit and Devonte Smith is legit too. But
Speaker 5: I just think Philly's gonna be throwing a ton in
Speaker 5: AJ Brown. He's a He's just about a stafod pickure.
Speaker 6: You can get with this pick in my mind, so
Speaker 6: I'm happy to A J. Brown.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to pick number RAH, Selection number nine.
Speaker 1: Huka Nakula making his first appearance. Garrett Wilson, Garrett Wilson
Speaker 1: and Garrett Wilson. Door, there's your chance to peacock a
Speaker 1: little bit.
Speaker 6: On Kuka Nakula.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys.
Speaker 7: You guys know what I think about Pool. It's weird
Speaker 7: dip like to me to see like people fading him.
Speaker 7: I don't really understand the justification of that. I don't
Speaker 7: know why he wouldn't just get better now that he's checking.
Speaker 3: Your guy more experienced there. Yeah, I mean he's gonna
Speaker 3: get pounded with targets, super cups or nine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we need to take a break when
Speaker 1: we come back. We'll wrap up our perfect first round.
Speaker 1: We'll see who you think is the leader in our
Speaker 1: attempt to be perfect with our first round. And when
Speaker 1: we come back, it's.
Speaker 6: Time to give you the reach around.
Speaker 1: It's Fantasy Football Weekly Live from Treasure Island. Welcome back,

Speaker 1: Ruby super cute Thornice from Scott Fish. Brian Johnson with you.
Speaker 1: We are working through the first round of what our
Speaker 1: attempt to have a perfect first round rap and we've
Speaker 1: made it through nine selections. We're gonna wrap up picks ten, eleven,
Speaker 1: and twelve in similar fashion, and here is selection number ten.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor Bijon Robinson, AJ Brown and Davante Adams. I
Speaker 1: guess I will talk a minute about DeVante Adams. Sure,
Speaker 1: who's ever been who here has drafted Davante Adams and
Speaker 1: been burned when Chuck did not expect You don't expect
Speaker 1: anybody who raised their hand super safe?
Speaker 6: What's that his first couple of years? Yeah, first couple
Speaker 6: of years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you go back far enough, right, remember when
Speaker 1: he was dropping all those passes with the Packers in
Speaker 1: the early years, and we're pretty sure that it was
Speaker 1: never gonna come together, but boy has it. Uh, you
Speaker 1: gotta go a long time to find disappointment DeVante Adams.
Speaker 1: I think Gardner Minchew don't listen to Brian Gardner. Minshew
Speaker 1: will bring added competent. I know I want his competency
Speaker 1: at quarterback and we know Minshew can deliver that DeVante
Speaker 1: Adams super safe, tons of targets. So I'll be the
Speaker 1: first person to take him off the board at selection
Speaker 1: number tenure thor you're the first person to go to
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. Tell me why you like Jonathan Taylor had
Speaker 1: picked ten.
Speaker 7: You know, last year he gets to the late start
Speaker 7: to the season and when he was there. Richardson had
Speaker 7: gotten hurt, you know from the analytics. Uh, you know,
Speaker 7: looking back now several years, players that play with quarterbacks
Speaker 7: that have you know, a bunch of rushing attempts that
Speaker 7: the dull threat guys, they get about a half a
Speaker 7: yard added to their ledger. It's just something that really
Speaker 7: helps running back. So him playing next to Richardson, I
Speaker 7: like the weapons. They flesh that out as well. The
Speaker 7: offense is going to be better this year.
Speaker 6: It is going to be better this year.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe quite good if Richardson comes together nicely here
Speaker 1: for I just with Johnson Taylor caught more. That's all.
Speaker 6: That's the only it's the only knock on him.
Speaker 3: That's what Minnesota's own. Evan Hall is there for.
Speaker 1: Oh house, I know, the incredible hull, the incredible hull.
Speaker 6: How many back this year?
Speaker 1: All right, how many catches you got on Evan Hall
Speaker 1: this year?
Speaker 3: I'll give them. I'll give them forty two. Wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, that means they're gonna have to throw to him
Speaker 1: like sixty five times.
Speaker 7: That We got to teach Richardson to check down. He
Speaker 7: likes rocketing it down the field.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I like him rocketing down the field as well.
Speaker 1: Let's go the position number eleven of our Fantasy Football
Speaker 1: Weekly first round. I'm on Ross Saint Brown, Jonathan Taylor, Pooka, Nakula,
Speaker 1: Pookin Nakula. These are all guys that we've talked about before.
Speaker 1: But Thor let me, I keep coming back to you
Speaker 1: because you have the most contrarian draft here. You've got
Speaker 1: I'm on Ross Saint Brown quite a bit lower than
Speaker 1: anybody else, five spots lower than the next closest person.
Speaker 1: What's your concern here?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I guess it would be ceiling in comparison to
Speaker 7: those other guys. I like to swing for the fences
Speaker 7: and I, you know, you just go apples to apples
Speaker 7: with some of those guys that I have above them,
Speaker 7: I don't like it quite quite as much. Floor obviously
Speaker 7: is very very high. You're buying certainty with him, for sure.
Speaker 6: I love that.
Speaker 3: But but yeah, the ceiling is where I other guys
Speaker 3: get edgrim out for me.
Speaker 1: Okay, and our last pick of the first round, selection
Speaker 1: number twelve, Derrick Henry, DeVante Adams.
Speaker 6: And two Sam Laportas.
Speaker 1: Scott talk to me about Sam Laporta with the final
Speaker 1: pick of the first round.
Speaker 4: Yeah, It's not just that he's he was a top
Speaker 4: seven tight end ten times last night last year, fourth
Speaker 4: in receptions fifteen yards, eight receptions over twenty plus yards
Speaker 4: for a tight end. It's not even just that stuff.
Speaker 4: It's it's what it does to my roster construction when
Speaker 4: I take him at the end of the first round
Speaker 4: on that corner that my tight end is done for
Speaker 4: the draft and I can take so many shots at
Speaker 4: running back and wide receiver. In fact, I took him
Speaker 4: at the corner of our draft take and I got
Speaker 4: a very angry text.
Speaker 6: Yes you did. As a matter of fact, battle not
Speaker 6: happy about that one at all. Yeah, I liked.
Speaker 1: I like Sam Laporti here number one tight end. I
Speaker 1: love it for all the reasons you talked about. His
Speaker 1: rookie season was amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, was it?
Speaker 1: I think eleven hundred yards, nine nine touchdowns, something in
Speaker 1: that ballpark, just you know, unbelievable rookie year.
Speaker 6: Kyle Kitts like yard one.
Speaker 1: And only yardage one. Ye, that's right, Okay, now, firm,
Speaker 1: it's in the house. This is your chance to vote
Speaker 1: on which one of us has come closest to perfection.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to reread all of the players for
Speaker 1: all the people. But I want you to make noise
Speaker 1: as is radio. You can't like raise your hand. I
Speaker 1: need you to make noise for that is that represents
Speaker 1: how much you like that person's draft. We will work
Speaker 1: our way left to right, beginning with Thor Nystrom. We've
Speaker 1: got some people who like your contrarian angles. Thor. Okay,
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson, all right, well done, nailed it, nailed it,
Speaker 1: all right, nice Scott Fish. And then there's me. I'm
Speaker 1: the guy. I'm the weirdo with only two running backs
Speaker 1: in the first round. How about little old charge. I'm
Speaker 1: getting thumbs down from the back of the room. Back
Speaker 1: there was just as loud. But I felt like there's
Speaker 1: some negative There were some negative vibes in the room
Speaker 1: for sure. I think our winner of the most perfect.
Speaker 1: I think you should drop it. Brian Johnson, well done,
Speaker 1: my man. All right, there you go out, Brian, were
Speaker 1: declaring you the winner, and by virtue of winning, I
Speaker 1: was going to give you a hot dog, but they're
Speaker 1: gone now, no more hot dogs for you.
Speaker 6: It is time. I'll drink the water, the hot dog water.
Speaker 6: Who loves the reach around.
Speaker 1: These are players that we would take one round in
Speaker 1: advance of their normal draft position. So we will begin
Speaker 1: by showing you the players going in the second round,
Speaker 1: and we will tell you each of us. For each
Speaker 1: of us, which of these players we would actually draft
Speaker 1: one round ahead of we would reach a round for
Speaker 1: this player. So these are, in this case second rounders
Speaker 1: that we would take in the first round. Makes sense,
Speaker 1: I believe. Let's begin. Uh, let's begin with Brian on this.
Speaker 1: We'll start you get You get to go first, since
Speaker 1: you won the previous game.
Speaker 5: Well, I I faded Puka in the first really just
Speaker 5: to get a rise out of Thor, and it didn't work.
Speaker 5: But uh, Puka certainly worthy of going in the first round.
Speaker 5: So I'm going to take the lay up here and
Speaker 5: I'm taking Puka Scott round one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I took. I put Laporta down for this. I've
Speaker 4: I walk the walk every time it comes up on
Speaker 4: that back corner.
Speaker 1: I take Laporta, Thor your reach around player in the
Speaker 1: second round that you would take in the first.
Speaker 7: Well, I suppose you know it would be Puka and Henry,
Speaker 7: but already talked about them a little bit. Sor right,
Speaker 7: I'd rather talk about Crystal Labe here mentioned before the
Speaker 7: your heat injury, and then also Michael Thomas being gone
Speaker 7: and Juan Johnson being hurt. I think there's so many
Speaker 7: targets that are going to be headed Chrystal Lab's way.
Speaker 6: Yeah, just so you'll love the volume I do.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm also in Sam Laporta. I've just talked about it.
Speaker 1: I've got him in the first round. One hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty targets for a rookie tight end.
Speaker 4: Last year, like four players in that list I've taken
Speaker 4: at the end of the first.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that would feel good.
Speaker 1: And you ad DeVante Adams I had I had going
Speaker 1: pick eleven or pick ten. So there's a lot of
Speaker 1: great opportunities here. What if Sam Laporta is just what
Speaker 1: if it as a sophomore he's twenty five percent better?
Speaker 1: I mean, it would be such a huge differential for
Speaker 1: you to have a tight end that's going to clock
Speaker 1: in at that point at like twelve hundred yards and
Speaker 1: thirteen touchdowns. Yeah, it'd be awesome. We'd love that, and
Speaker 1: it is possible that he could get there this year.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to round number two of our well,
Speaker 1: I guess it'd be round number three of our reach
Speaker 1: around which would mean these are third round players we
Speaker 1: would take in the second round.
Speaker 6: For this one, we begin with Scot.
Speaker 4: Come on, look at that.
Speaker 6: Come on, I know, of course you gotta be it's
Speaker 6: got it right.
Speaker 1: You and I weren't stumping for Nico Collins two years
Speaker 1: ago for nothing to avoid.
Speaker 4: Him here like it's been longer than that. It feels
Speaker 4: like forever.
Speaker 6: What do you like about Eco?
Speaker 4: As much as you want to worry about Dell and
Speaker 4: Diggs taking targets, they're also going to raise the raise
Speaker 4: the boats on that offense, you know, the rising tide scenario.
Speaker 4: Second best in yards per target, fifth best in yards
Speaker 4: after the catch as well last year. Uh. Just he's
Speaker 4: going to be the number one and he's not going
Speaker 4: to face a lot of brackets and doubles.
Speaker 6: All right? Four?
Speaker 1: Who is your reach around target in round three that
Speaker 1: you would take with round in round two?
Speaker 7: I went with Deebo, although I did do my I
Speaker 7: locked in my answer before the newest Ayuk news came out,
Speaker 7: and I you know again that those that changes every
Speaker 7: ten minutes. But if if Ayuk is traded, it's going
Speaker 7: to be Debo And then you know, ostensibly Piersall maybe
Speaker 7: on the other side in an offense where the tight
Speaker 7: end and then the fullback around the field all the time.
Speaker 3: Debo.
Speaker 7: You know again, it's just a target and usage thing.
Speaker 7: At that point, I'm not scared to take the first
Speaker 7: quarterback off the board. I want to take Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 1: I mean, why would you not want your quarterbacks who
Speaker 1: scores double digit touchdowns in three straight years?
Speaker 4: Will he's still with that line?
Speaker 6: I absolutely will.
Speaker 1: You know, let's I'm trying to remember the name of
Speaker 1: the new center behind behind Kelsey. Jason Kelsey is gone,
Speaker 1: but they put second round equity into that guy, knowing
Speaker 1: that Kelsey is. I don't think it's Nah. I don't
Speaker 1: think it is. I'm trying to remember. Maybe right, maybe
Speaker 1: it's Cam Jurgens. Somebody in the audience will know he
Speaker 1: gets to throw to aj Brown at DeVonta Smith. The
Speaker 1: other quarterback who's going neck and neck with Jalen Hurts
Speaker 1: is Josh Allen.
Speaker 6: He's throwing to Keon.
Speaker 1: Coleman and Curtis Samuel. This isn't even close. Jalen Hurts,
Speaker 1: I'll take all those rushing touchdowns. I'll take the security
Speaker 1: I love. I just feel like he's so so safe,
Speaker 1: good passer. I love all the rushing, all right, Can
Speaker 1: I give the right answer now? Please give the right answer, Brian.
Speaker 5: It's Isaiah Pacheco who's gonna dominate the touches.
Speaker 6: Ah, I like it.
Speaker 4: Crowd is with you on this.
Speaker 6: On every down in.
Speaker 5: An Andy Reid offense, with the best quarterback in the world,
Speaker 5: you're gonna get round one returns in Pacheco. He's gonna
Speaker 5: finish as RB three. He's gonna outscore Bijon. Only Brisau
Speaker 5: and Christian McCaffrey likely to outscore Checko here, I'm putting
Speaker 5: that on Wax.
Speaker 3: All right. I like it.
Speaker 1: You've convinced me all those honestly. All right, Let's move
Speaker 1: our reach around to round four. Which of these round
Speaker 1: four players would you take? In round number three? We
Speaker 1: begin this time with thor.
Speaker 7: This is the easiest one for me so far. It's
Speaker 7: Malik Neighbors. Milik Neighbors is ADP shouldn't be what it
Speaker 7: is here. It should be around higher in some drafts,
Speaker 7: depending I would even consider I'm late second round. You
Speaker 7: see the huge discrepancy between Marvin Harrison Junior and Melik
Speaker 7: Neighbors in these rankings. There should not be that thing
Speaker 7: should be way way closer. Uh, and he obviously it's
Speaker 7: just gonna get absolutely pounded with targets. That receiving court
Speaker 7: before he got there was a wasteland. So yeah, he's
Speaker 7: wide receiver one with the second that card was turned in.
Speaker 1: All right, I've got Trey McBride. Did you know from
Speaker 1: the time Zach Ertz went down last year and Trey
Speaker 1: McBride became the full time starter, he was the highest
Speaker 1: scoring tight end in fantasy football?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 1: And now I know there's a lot of people like, oh,
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison, I'm scared. Hold me, Marvin Harrison by just
Speaker 1: open up the middle of the field for Trey McBride.
Speaker 6: And it's not like this, This offense can't feature two
Speaker 6: pass catchers.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about like the fourth option here. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about Marvin Harrison and Trey McBride. Is your obvious
Speaker 1: one and number two pass catchers in an offense in
Speaker 1: which Kyler Murray can feed two guys. I like Trey McBride.
Speaker 1: All right, Brian, who is your reach around player in
Speaker 1: round four that you would take in round three?
Speaker 5: I like McBride a lot. I like neighbors, a lot.
Speaker 5: I also like DK Metcalf a lot, So that's my answer.
Speaker 5: The Seahawks are very run heavy under Pete Carroll. He's
Speaker 5: gone now. They have a new offensive coordinator and Ryan Grubb.
Speaker 5: He was the OC at Washington. The college very pass
Speaker 5: heavy that should come over into the NFL. So Seattle's
Speaker 5: gonna flip the script. They're gonna be throwing the ball
Speaker 5: a ton. There's competition for targets with Metcalf primarily JSN.
Speaker 5: I'm with four he's gonna have a breakout year, but
Speaker 5: Metcalf is still the best of the bunch, and I
Speaker 5: think he's sitting on his biggest season yet, So I'll
Speaker 5: reach around on DK.
Speaker 1: All Right, Scott, wrap up round four for us.
Speaker 6: Which of these round four guys would you take in
Speaker 6: round three?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had the same as you charge. I had
Speaker 4: Trey McBride second half, as you've kind of alluded to
Speaker 4: their third top three and targets, receptions and yards. I
Speaker 4: agree with you on Marvin Harrison. I think he serves
Speaker 4: as not his target competition, but he draws coverage and
Speaker 4: that defense is absolutely terrible. There's that they're gonna be
Speaker 4: behind and throwing all the time.
Speaker 6: I love it.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's go to round at number five. Which of
Speaker 1: these fifth rounders would you take in the fourth round?
Speaker 1: I think I am up first on this one, and for.
Speaker 6: Me, that is do do doo.
Speaker 1: Hold on, let me see here now, I will t
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pass for this while I get my notes
Speaker 1: going crowd.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I did have CJ. Guess it's not
Speaker 6: Alvin Kamara. I did have Seede, thank you. I did
Speaker 6: have CJ. Stroud.
Speaker 1: I had something else in my notes. What I love
Speaker 1: about Stroud is I don't have to guess which one
Speaker 1: of the Houston receivers is going to be a good
Speaker 1: receiver this week. I can just take the guy who's
Speaker 1: throwing to the deepest, best set of wide receivers in
Speaker 1: the NFL, and that's in Houston. Obviously offensive rookie of
Speaker 1: the Year last year and by a mile really nobody
Speaker 1: close borderline historic numbers for rookie output for CJ. Stroud,
Speaker 1: and now he gets what if he gets better twenty
Speaker 1: five percent in year number two, which he absolutely has
Speaker 1: room to do.
Speaker 6: So I love CJ. Stroud here.
Speaker 1: I have no problem not taking running backs early in
Speaker 1: the draft, as you know. So I've got Stroud here, Brian,
Speaker 1: who is your reach around player from round five that
Speaker 1: you would.
Speaker 6: Take in a round four?
Speaker 5: They have some good choices in this one. Some people
Speaker 5: will be upset. I'm not taking Kyle Pitts. I was tempted,
Speaker 5: but I'm going with a Mari Cooper. Last season, Cooper
Speaker 5: had the fourth highest air yards shared percentage air yards
Speaker 5: equal big plays, and the Browns expect to have an
Speaker 5: even more uptempo offense this year. Cooper was wide receiver
Speaker 5: thirteen and twenty twenty two wide receiver sixteen. Last year,
Speaker 5: He's going in the mid twenties among wide receivers.
Speaker 1: It makes no sense. So I'm reaching around on Cooper.
Speaker 1: I like that answer, Scott, who is your reach around
Speaker 1: in round five?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I got Anthony Richardson. I just like I like
Speaker 4: players that can beat game breakers and league winners that
Speaker 4: just score an absurd amount of points, especially on the ground.
Speaker 4: Last year, when he got injured, he was he was
Speaker 4: scoring point four to three point fantasy points per snap.
Speaker 6: It's crazy.
Speaker 4: Every two times he snapped the ball, he got you
Speaker 4: point a half times he got you point wow.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The next closest was under point three at the time.
Speaker 4: He got injured. Josh Allen with his fifteen rushing touchdowns,
Speaker 4: was a little over that by the end of it,
Speaker 4: but every time he snaps the ball tons of points
Speaker 4: out of it.
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, there's there's a real window where he's the
Speaker 1: highest scoring quarterback in fantasy football for Anthony Richardson, all right,
Speaker 1: there a wrap up round.
Speaker 4: Five for us.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm gonna go with Kenneth Walker here for the
Speaker 7: reasons I we were talking about before.
Speaker 3: It gonna be the three.
Speaker 7: I'm back and I agree with what Brian's saying. It's
Speaker 7: going to be a better offense in Seattle this year
Speaker 7: with Ron grub All.
Speaker 1: Right, let's go to our final reach around round of
Speaker 1: this of this segment, and that's round six. Moving into
Speaker 1: round five, Brian, you are up first.
Speaker 5: Well, last week I said Terry McLaurin was going to
Speaker 5: be a top ten wide receiver this year. Ye reach
Speaker 5: around right on Terry who Over the last four years
Speaker 5: McLaurin one of only six wide receivers to top one
Speaker 5: thousand yards in each of those seasons, and at the
Speaker 5: same time, he was bottom third at in catchable target rate.
Speaker 6: Getting garbage looks from your boy, Sam Howell.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry to say charge, but now mclaurin's got Jaden Daniels,
Speaker 5: who was the only FBS quarterback last year with ten
Speaker 5: plus air yards per attempt and a catchable throw rate
Speaker 5: of at least eighty percent. Cliff Kingsbury is the new OC.
Speaker 5: I see very big things for Terry McLaurin this year.
Speaker 1: All right, Scott, who is your reach around player? In
Speaker 1: round number six?
Speaker 4: Yeah, this one was tough. I thought about Ramantre. I
Speaker 4: thought about Calvin Ridley with Chris Godwin, just because there's
Speaker 4: absolutely no competition for targets in Tapa Bay with him there,
Speaker 4: He's going back to his natural slot role, which we've
Speaker 4: talked about before, where his catches go up, his targets
Speaker 4: go up, his yards per game go up. Weirdly, he's
Speaker 4: scored more even though he's a slot, even though from
Speaker 4: the slot and slots don't score a lot. Everything goes
Speaker 4: up with Godwin there. Trey Palmer's the wide receiver three,
Speaker 4: and there's just nothing behind them. He's gonna be on
Speaker 4: the field constantly.
Speaker 6: All right, and thor round six? Are you taking a
Speaker 6: round five?
Speaker 7: I rarely agree with Brian, but I have to hear
Speaker 7: I'm going with Terry McLaurin. I think it is Washington's
Speaker 7: offensive improvement this year is going to be stunning, is
Speaker 7: gonna knock people's socks off. He mentioned it about Daniels,
Speaker 7: that's all true. They have a better offensive brass now
Speaker 7: as well. And then who's going to be the wide
Speaker 7: receiver two looks like Dawnson's gonna be out of there.
Speaker 7: Mclaurin's gonna get all kinds of targets and Daniels, Jaydon
Speaker 7: Daniels loves to hunt downfield as well.
Speaker 1: All right, my selection for my reach around in round
Speaker 1: six that I would take round five is Christian Kirk.
Speaker 6: I alluded to this earlier.
Speaker 1: Jacksonville's got the fifth most vacated targets two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty one vacated targets. Cal Ridley gone, Jay Jones gone,
Speaker 1: and the replacement.
Speaker 6: Is Gabe Davis.
Speaker 1: Low volume.
Speaker 6: Dave Davis gave donuts. Gabe gave us a donut.
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk was already a dependable volume guy that's gonna
Speaker 1: get pushed to the max here. He's gonna he's sitting
Speaker 1: on career highs in targets, receptions yards.
Speaker 6: I could see him.
Speaker 1: Getting one hundred and twenty two hundred and thirty targets
Speaker 1: in this offense. Christ Kirk super super safe, love him here.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a break. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we'll go through the second half of our reach around.
Speaker 1: It's such a great segment we have to do it
Speaker 1: for two full segments. It's Fantasy Football Weekly Live from
Speaker 1: Treasure Island. Welcome back Fantasy Football.
Speaker 3: Weekly Live from Treasure Island.
Speaker 6: This is like the It's like the start of football
Speaker 6: season right here.
Speaker 3: Oh we love it.
Speaker 1: Fantastic, delighted your here. Everybody goes watching Cape dot Com
Speaker 1: streaming right now. Thank you for watching as well. You'll
Speaker 1: also get to hear the show again locally on Kfan
Speaker 1: on Saturday morning ten o'clock. All right, let's go through
Speaker 1: the remaining I think we've got five more rounds of
Speaker 1: our retrounds. We can't still have plenty of reach around
Speaker 1: action for you. Let's go to re round number seven.
Speaker 1: Which seventh rounder would you take in the sixth round?
Speaker 1: I forgot who's our is Scott or you are? Is
Speaker 1: it your turn to go first?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 4: I will all right go for it. Sure I ever
Speaker 4: see Rice with Hollywood injury for you know, four to
Speaker 4: six weeks, no suspension really insight. At this point, Rice
Speaker 4: paces to be the top wide receiver option for Casey,
Speaker 4: which didn't used to mean much, but last year it
Speaker 4: kind of did for him, and over the last month
Speaker 4: of the season he was top ten in receptions, averaging
Speaker 4: nine yards, sorry nine yards and then four after the catch.
Speaker 4: That wasn't a nine times about that.
Speaker 1: Like you can't say the word nine around here and
Speaker 1: think you're not gonna get that.
Speaker 6: That was still solid audience part.
Speaker 1: It was very good, thank you.
Speaker 4: It wasn't all right. Seventh in red zone targets with
Speaker 4: six scores eighteen point eight PPR points per game over
Speaker 4: the final six Wide receiver one was actually a thing
Speaker 4: last year.
Speaker 1: Love it, okay, Rashi Rice four. Which seventh rounder would
Speaker 1: you take in the sixth round?
Speaker 7: I was gonna say Rashie Rice, but so as not
Speaker 7: to be redundant, I'm gonna toss out Deonnay Johnson here, Caroline.
Speaker 7: His offense is gonna be way way better and Bryce
Speaker 7: Bryce Young is gonna be way way better now that
Speaker 7: here's you know, somewhat of an offensive line. And what
Speaker 7: did their receiving corps lack last year about everything, but
Speaker 7: dudes who got open. Deanni Johnson gets open at a
Speaker 7: rate analogous to any receiver in the NFL.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1: Angled. I do think Carolina's offense gets takes a big
Speaker 1: step forward. The coaching improvement alone is gonna.
Speaker 5: Gonna come from one coach alone. Yeah, I'll just take
Speaker 5: that nice usage of analogous. That's definitely never been used
Speaker 5: on Fantasy Football Weekly before in my time.
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's because you never understood what it meant.
Speaker 6: I think until not. I don't know.
Speaker 1: He didn't want to use it.
Speaker 6: I was an English major too, That makes it even sadder.
Speaker 1: Zamir White was somebody we highlighted last week. So Matt
Speaker 1: Harrison was extolling the virtues of Zamir White and predicted
Speaker 1: him to be I don't remember something like a top
Speaker 1: ten running back, which is possible. It's the run heavy
Speaker 1: Antonio Pierce offense. White could be sitting on three hundred
Speaker 1: plus carries. He could be sitting on forty receptions all
Speaker 1: that volume. Alexander Madison not a threat, especially at the
Speaker 1: goal line, right Vikings fans, Yeah, do you think he
Speaker 1: had more fumbles inside the five for touchdowns inside the
Speaker 1: five last year, we're gonna find out. Well, yeah, well
Speaker 1: we are gonna find out later. Uh, Brian, your reach
Speaker 1: around for round number seven, Zumir White, Let's move on. Okay,
Speaker 1: nothing to Whites? All right, well said, let's go to
Speaker 1: round number eight. Who would you take in round number seven?
Speaker 7: Four? I want to say two guys right now, Roma
Speaker 7: Dunza for sure. I think Roman Dunsa is going to
Speaker 7: become their wide receiver one faster than people think. But
Speaker 7: this coming season, I think he's gonna be wide receiver
Speaker 7: two pretty much from the get His game is a
Speaker 7: perfect fit with Caleb Williams, is who loves to scramble
Speaker 7: around and then chuck the ball downfield four seconds after
Speaker 7: the snap. Last year, Romadonsay was the best contest to
Speaker 7: catch receiver in college football by both the volume and
Speaker 7: the rate. And Keenan alling you people like Keenan Allen.
Speaker 7: The one thing that Caleb Williams needs to work on
Speaker 7: that he didn't do it all in college. It was
Speaker 7: the quick timing routes, the anticipatory throws over the intermediate range.
Speaker 7: That's I don't think Keenan Allen's a great fit. Roma
Speaker 7: Dunze is a perfect fit.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take an unpopular choice here. Jordan Addison was
Speaker 1: last seen passed out behind the wheel of his Rolls
Speaker 1: Royce in the left lane of LA traffic. And there
Speaker 1: is the threat of league suspension. But I don't think
Speaker 1: that's gonna hit this year. He rolled his ankle a
Speaker 1: few days ago. It's all bad right now on Jordan Addison.
Speaker 1: And I'm buying the dip on Jordan Addison.
Speaker 4: Isn't the dip if you're reaching around though, Well.
Speaker 1: I get it's a good point, right, I guess I'm
Speaker 1: elevating up to I'm taking the dip to neutral.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Filling in the dip, my.
Speaker 3: Filling in the dip.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's it, filling in the dip. The NFL wheels
Speaker 1: of justice are so slow that I don't think there's
Speaker 1: gonna be any finality to his court case. The first
Speaker 1: hearing is in October. I don't think that thing goes
Speaker 1: final till next offseason and the rookie year. Nine hundred yards,
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns. Detractors will say, well, Addison's Addison was better
Speaker 1: when Justin Jefferson was gone, And in some cases.
Speaker 6: That was true. But it was still very good.
Speaker 1: It was a very good first season for Addison, and
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson draws immense coverage away from him.
Speaker 6: It's got single covers all the time. It gets he'll get.
Speaker 1: Better as a sophomore. I'm gonna fill in the dip
Speaker 1: on Jordan Addison, Brian, who is your reach around player
Speaker 1: in round of breight? Are you take a round seven?
Speaker 6: I thought you'd be with me on Zack Moss charge
Speaker 6: I'm reaching around on Zach Moss.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: On the Bengals now, of course, and he was last year.
Speaker 5: Joe Mixon, former Bengal, was a top twelve PPR back
Speaker 5: in five of the last six seasons with Cincinnati, and
Speaker 5: he sucked four point two v are to carry. Sorry, Joe,
Speaker 5: you're gonna catch some strays here. Mixing gone now, as
Speaker 5: we all know, that leaves Moss, who is just as good,
Speaker 5: if not better, Yeah than Mixing, and Moss is certainly
Speaker 5: better built for the early down work and also a
Speaker 5: better pass catcher than Chase Brown who Chase Brown, who
Speaker 5: people are convinced is gonna be in a time share, but.
Speaker 6: I'm not buying it.
Speaker 5: I think Moss dominates the touches and he I might
Speaker 5: reach a couple rounds on Moss.
Speaker 6: All right, give him a double reach, double reach.
Speaker 4: I'll try to be quick here I have, Jonathan, I
Speaker 4: just liked the idea of a bellcow gat up Belcow
Speaker 4: that late. By the end of the season, he's gonna
Speaker 4: be taking everything you saw it in his final year
Speaker 4: at Texas. He catches passes, he can be a workhorse back.
Speaker 4: He's he's only got to beat out Chuba Hubbard.
Speaker 6: And that's happening health.
Speaker 4: Yes, like like we talked about, I think that Caroline
Speaker 4: offense is gonna be better.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Can't do it in guillotine because I need to stay
Speaker 1: alive till October when he comes back. But you know,
Speaker 1: for most standard leagues, Jonathan Brooks, you know I can
Speaker 1: wait always. I can wait out that first.
Speaker 4: Month, especially if an Iris spot.
Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to round number nine. These are
Speaker 1: players that we would are going off the border round nine.
Speaker 1: We would take in round number eight, and I am
Speaker 1: up first with Jaden Daniels, Washington quarterback. We know rushing
Speaker 1: quarterbacks break apart your scoring system in your league. It's
Speaker 1: the case for all of us. Daniels could lead the
Speaker 1: NFL in quarterback rushing yards. None of us would be
Speaker 1: surprised if that happened. He's got the two things we
Speaker 1: want from fantasy quarterbacks, a big arm for deep passing
Speaker 1: and the highlight play mobility like Anthony Richardson getting a
Speaker 1: poor man's Anthony Richardson two or three rounds later, and
Speaker 1: maybe can all come together In his first year with
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury.
Speaker 6: Cliff Kingsbury was able to get.
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray up to quarterback nine in his rookie season,
Speaker 1: and I think quarterback nine is kind of the starting
Speaker 1: point for Jade and Daniels if he stays healthy. Brian,
Speaker 1: who is your reach around player?
Speaker 6: Same guy as you? Again, we're agreeing too much. This
Speaker 6: is alarm. I'm on Daniels as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we're Daniels Daniels, Daniels thor who do you
Speaker 1: have for your reach around him? Round number nine?
Speaker 7: Love Daniels too, but I'll talk about someone else. Lad
Speaker 7: McConkie for sure should be going higher than this. So
Speaker 7: Lad McConkie in last draft class was top three amongst
Speaker 7: the wide receivers in separation percentile. The guy runs routes
Speaker 7: like a jet ski. You know, like just shooting forward
Speaker 7: can then throw out down on a dime, and then
Speaker 7: the speed coming out the acceleration coming out of those
Speaker 7: route breaks. You think about Jim Harbaugh's offense, anyone that
Speaker 7: watched Michigan last year, the whole ethos of running on
Speaker 7: early downs. It only works if on third down you're converting,
Speaker 7: which they did last year. Roman Wilson was the guy
Speaker 7: on that team. Lad McConkie's a better receiver than than
Speaker 7: Ron Wilson, but is going to be filling that role
Speaker 7: with the Chargers. He steps in right away and is
Speaker 7: going to be wide receiver one for the Charges. So
Speaker 7: maybe even if the passing volume is not there, he's
Speaker 7: still going to get a bunch of targets in that offense.
Speaker 6: All right, let's go to round number ten.
Speaker 1: These are players going up the board and round ten
Speaker 1: that we would take in round number nine, Brian, you
Speaker 1: get to start this time.
Speaker 6: I really like value quarterbacks. This yere Sam Darnold.
Speaker 5: Of course, I like Baker Mayfield, Gino Smith, Will Levis,
Speaker 5: But Jaden Daniels is the one guy I'll pay up
Speaker 5: four and the other one is Trevor Lawrence. I'd reach
Speaker 5: around on Trevor Lawrence, who was getting drafted as QB
Speaker 5: eight last year. Now he's going off the board his
Speaker 5: quarterback sixteen. Lawrence was really banged up last year. Fully healthy.
Speaker 5: Now Jacksonville did lose. Calvin Ridley's a Jones, but rookie
Speaker 5: Brian Thomas Junior. I always want to call him Brian
Speaker 5: Thomas Johnson.
Speaker 6: That's me. Yes, I'm not as good as him, not
Speaker 6: even close.
Speaker 5: And Gabe Davis phil that void pretty much so, lots
Speaker 5: of upside for Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 6: He's going way too cheap.
Speaker 1: Scott your reach around player in round ten.
Speaker 4: Yeah, remember last year how we kept doing this to
Speaker 4: Texans players. Yes, you had Kristen Kirk, he had Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 4: Now I'm bringing up Brian Thomas Junior.
Speaker 6: How about that? All right, we're all in on Jaguars.
Speaker 4: In on the Jaguars. You already mentioned the ridiculous amount
Speaker 4: of vacated targets, like, yeah, two and thirty something, over
Speaker 4: seventy five percent of their red zone targets also went away.
Speaker 4: Only one player, Calvin Ridley, had twenty five red zone targets.
Speaker 4: No one else had over ten and Brian Thomas Junior big,
Speaker 4: six foot three, contested catch guy, yep perfect to fill
Speaker 4: into that role. He's he's gonna have to fight off
Speaker 4: Gabe Davis to a degree, and Christian Kirk mostly plays
Speaker 4: the slot. There's no one else to really fight him
Speaker 4: off for that other outside role. He should be starting
Speaker 4: by by the season comes.
Speaker 6: All right, Thor, who is your retron playing round ten?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Blake Koram here.
Speaker 7: Someone came up and asked me about Blake Koram at
Speaker 7: the at the break, I can't find him in here,
Speaker 7: but I said, just wait till the next segment where
Speaker 7: you know I'm gonna be bringing him up here. The
Speaker 7: Rams go out and draft Blake Korum because he's a
Speaker 7: perfect fit for their offense, and not because they don't
Speaker 7: like Kyron Williams. It's because they want to preserve Kyron Williams.
Speaker 7: If you give Kyron Williams as many touches as you
Speaker 7: did last year, he is going to break. So I
Speaker 7: think the distribution here is roughly sixty percent Kyron Williams
Speaker 7: or sixty five somewhere in that range. He's gonna get
Speaker 7: all the pass down work. That's what Korum does not do.
Speaker 7: Korum is going to get the early down stuff. He's
Speaker 7: gonna be running around the goal line as well and
Speaker 7: getting those touchdowns as well.
Speaker 1: I've got Gus Edwards reunited with longtime offensive coordinated from Baltimore,
Speaker 1: Greg Roman, Roman and Jim Harbaugh. Will very possibly have
Speaker 1: the most run heavy offense in the NFL. And he's
Speaker 1: gonna be the lead back and most importantly, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be the goal line back where he was in Baltimore,
Speaker 1: where he's gonna reprise that role here.
Speaker 6: It's the same people. This feels like a really easy
Speaker 6: one for me.
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards led the NFL in short yardage touchdowns last year,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk more about that off after the show.
Speaker 1: We've got one round left, round eleven. Which round eleven
Speaker 1: player would you take? In round number ten, Scott, I
Speaker 1: believe it is your turn lead us off.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna start with I'm gonna say Khalil Sekir, but
Speaker 4: I know that you want to talk about him a
Speaker 4: little bit later. The Bills have had high success out
Speaker 4: of their slot guys. Shakier has been the most consistent
Speaker 4: in camp and his pets to target with targets with
Speaker 4: Davis and Diggs gone is pretty wide open in a
Speaker 4: high scoring offense.
Speaker 6: Okay, thor your reach around player.
Speaker 1: Round eleven.
Speaker 7: I wasn't gonna go with Shaheed, but after the you
Speaker 7: know some of that news, I Shakir is my guy,
Speaker 7: and that was that was well said by Fish.
Speaker 3: I agree with all of that.
Speaker 1: Okay, if you gotta put Kirk Cousins on this list,
Speaker 1: I gotta take Kirk right. You would touchdown passes in
Speaker 1: fifty four of his last fifty five games. I mean, wait,
Speaker 1: the consistency here he gets. Drake London, Kyle Pitts. I've
Speaker 1: been informed by co hosts on this show that Kyle
Speaker 1: Pitts is secretly very good that we just don't know
Speaker 1: it yet.
Speaker 4: Secret.
Speaker 1: Yeah, big secret. So you know, maybe that comes together.
Speaker 1: B John Robinson can catch it's it's super safe. I'm
Speaker 1: taking Kirk. I you know, I liked Kirkins a Viking.
Speaker 1: I like him as a Falcon. He's gonna be fine.
Speaker 1: Reach in round number ten, Brian, wrap this thing up, baby,
Speaker 1: who's our last player?
Speaker 6: I gotta go with my boy.
Speaker 5: Jacobe Myers finished wide receiver twenty four in PPR last year.
Speaker 6: And if you have truly watched Jacoby. He can play.
Speaker 5: He's had his bell rung a few times, missed miss
Speaker 5: games for concussions and some other unfortunate injuries.
Speaker 6: Those have hurt his overall numbers. But if he stays
Speaker 6: healthy in.
Speaker 5: An offense now with DeVante Adams and Brock Bowers seen
Speaker 5: single coverage for days the inferior cornerbacks, three catches for
Speaker 5: forty five yards and like two drives against the Vikings
Speaker 5: last week, He's gonna be a target hog for whether
Speaker 5: it's Aid and O'Connell or Gardner Minshew, it doesn't really matter.
Speaker 5: They're like the same in my mind. And that's why
Speaker 5: I like the Raiders so much. They have a good
Speaker 5: backup playing because they have like.
Speaker 1: Two of the same quarterbacks, Rags Kobe Myers come wait
Speaker 1: all right, when we come back, our final segment of
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly, including three tough questions, and we reveal
Speaker 1: this week's sleepers as well. It is Fantasy Football Weekly
Speaker 1: live from Treasure Island Casino. Welcome back to Treasure Island
Speaker 1: Casino for Fantasy Football Weekly, our final segment of the show.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss you, guys, but do stick around because
Speaker 1: after the show for those of.
Speaker 6: You in attendance. You get to see the deep dive data.
Speaker 1: Afterwards, we've got about another forty five minutes a hardcore
Speaker 1: nerdery after this that you will want to be here far.
Speaker 1: You're gonna love it, I promise. This final segment is
Speaker 1: three tough questions and we release all our sleepers. We're
Speaker 1: a little short on time because we like to blab
Speaker 1: a lot, so I want to get I think the sleepers.
Speaker 1: The sleepers are more important, right, yes, all right, let's
Speaker 1: knock down our sleepers for this for this week. Let's
Speaker 1: start with Brian at the end down there will work
Speaker 1: our way this direction. Who is your sleeper this week?
Speaker 3: Brian?
Speaker 5: You know I like to dig deep at tight end
Speaker 5: and I got the Rams Kolby Parkinson WoT Hy Tyler Higbee,
Speaker 5: who has been the Rams tight end for years. We'll
Speaker 5: start the season on the pup list towards ACL and
Speaker 5: MCL in the playoffs last year, he might not play
Speaker 5: another snap for the Rams. That leaves Parkinson all of
Speaker 5: the is the starting tight end for LA. Six seven,
Speaker 5: two hundred and fifty two pounds ran a sub four
Speaker 5: to eight forty. LA signed him to a two year
Speaker 5: deal with fifteen million in guarantees. That's starter money. He
Speaker 5: sat the first preseason game. That's what starters do. And uh,
Speaker 5: the Rams offense is gonna be electric, you would assume.
Speaker 5: And Parkinson is free and Higbee was a.
Speaker 1: Top ten tight end when healthy, So why can't Parkinson
Speaker 1: be Higby really a top ten tight end in.
Speaker 4: The game that four game stretch where he was like
Speaker 4: the best ten end ever.
Speaker 1: That counts just like Sam Darnold Army not Dan Arnold.
Speaker 1: He was like a top ten right every week? There
Speaker 1: we go, Uh, Scott, Yeah, is your sleeper this week?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I telegraphed it like twice in this show. Brian Thomas Junior.
Speaker 4: Tons of vacated targets, tons of red zone targets, size,
Speaker 4: contested catching, but also just no competition. He's gonna be
Speaker 4: the starter offenses rising.
Speaker 6: All right, we love that kid, love him. Yeah, Thor
Speaker 6: your sleeper this week?
Speaker 7: Gotta bang the table for Luke McCaffrey again. We talked
Speaker 7: earlier about how Washington staff is just getting it out there.
Speaker 7: They don't like Dodson and the other competition that Zakiyas
Speaker 7: and what have you. Luke McCaffrey's good. He tested the
Speaker 7: same as his brother Christian did when he went to
Speaker 7: the Combine. Was only played wide receiver for two years.
Speaker 7: You know, he converted from quarter to a threat quarterback
Speaker 7: and the last two years just absolutely ripped it up.
Speaker 7: He can win downfield, He can play in the slot
Speaker 7: and the boundary. He is now in a Cliff Kingsbury
Speaker 7: offense with a quarterback who loves to throw downfield. McCaffrey
Speaker 7: was awesome down the field.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 1: My sleeper for this week is Buffalo wide receiver Khalil Shakir,
Speaker 1: currently going off the board as the player one hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty one sixty now obviously massive loss of targets
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, three hundred and seventeen targets he raced from
Speaker 1: that offense. And he's the only returning veteran that matt
Speaker 1: If Among the receivers in Buffalo, Khalil Shakir and sure
Speaker 1: rookie Kean Coleman might contribute at some point this year,
Speaker 1: but historically, you know, guys, even guys taken at the
Speaker 1: beginning of the second round, like Kean Coleman was. It
Speaker 1: takes time and probably a lot of this season. And
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel is there and There's nothing wrong with Curtis Samuel.
Speaker 6: He's fine.
Speaker 1: Kind of a gadget guy. They throw to him near
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. He hopes he makes a guy missed.
Speaker 1: Then he gets to ackle. Blah blah blah. Khalil Shakir.
Speaker 1: Let me drop two bombs on you about Khalil Shakir.
Speaker 1: Among all wide receivers. Last year, he ranked third in
Speaker 1: yards after the catch at seven point three, behind only
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel and Rashi Rice. That's Khalil Shakir number two.
Speaker 6: Thing you should know.
Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir ranked number one in the NFL at the
Speaker 1: receiver position in quarter back rating on passes thrown his way,
Speaker 1: number one.
Speaker 6: They trust him, they know him. And with all the
Speaker 6: new faces and all the moving.
Speaker 1: Parts in Buffalo, there's one constant from last year, Khalil Shakir,
Speaker 1: and he is good. He is slippery, and they are
Speaker 1: going to manufacture looks for him.
Speaker 6: Guys with him, You guys with me on this.
Speaker 7: I I just look back at who I comp Shakir
Speaker 7: two coming out of Brown.
Speaker 1: Really, Oh baby, you're getting me all worked up now.
Speaker 1: I love that Pats Tech Pats step all the count
Speaker 1: for the moment pants still on. This is it's time
Speaker 1: for three tough questions. I don't know if we're actually
Speaker 1: gonna get to three or not. We'll find out, but
Speaker 1: these are able to hear. Well, that's true, that that
Speaker 1: might be the case. Uh. This is a themed set
Speaker 1: of three tough questions called cooked or merely well done?
Speaker 1: Cook well done? These are older players, and I want
Speaker 1: you to tell me is this player completely cooked or
Speaker 1: is he just well done? And we got like one
Speaker 1: more good season out of him? We start with let's
Speaker 1: start with Scott Fish first player cooked or merely well done?
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, this this one.
Speaker 6: It's tough, isn't it.
Speaker 4: It's tough. It's tough.
Speaker 6: It's called three tough questions.
Speaker 4: I think he could be cooked. But because of the
Speaker 4: competition for targets there, because he was basically Will Levis's
Speaker 4: would be last year, you know, top ten and first
Speaker 4: three targets in the NFL sixth then first down receptions
Speaker 4: still had a top ten a dot when targeted, so
Speaker 4: he gets chunks when he does get targeted, and Levis
Speaker 4: targets him a ton. I think he's more like like
Speaker 4: a roasting marshmaow on a fire. He got burnt there,
Speaker 4: but it's still delicious. So still taking just stuff. You're
Speaker 4: taking well done, not cooked. It's well done, not completely cook.
Speaker 6: Okay, so well done.
Speaker 1: Our first answer DeAndre Hopkins cooked or well done?
Speaker 3: So I had a food metaphor here too.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 7: I've ended up with DeAndre Hopkins on way too many
Speaker 7: teams because I feel like he falls down.
Speaker 3: But it's it's the situation, right like, and I.
Speaker 7: Was thinking about, like when I go out and grill
Speaker 7: burgers and I burn them, but I don't have anything
Speaker 7: else to eat, You're going to eat it. That's how
Speaker 7: I feel like with DeAndre Hopkins. The situation at least
Speaker 7: is advantageous.
Speaker 4: If we don't't all have food metaphors, I'm gonna be.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of pressure to come up with food metaphor.
Speaker 1: But unfortunately I go last in three tough questions, so
Speaker 1: I got a minute to think about it. Brian DeAndre Hopkins,
Speaker 1: we have two so far, we have two well done?
Speaker 6: No cooks?
Speaker 1: Where are you?
Speaker 5: I was gonna go well done, but I got a
Speaker 5: sneak peek at your Guillotine League's premium cheat sheet coming soon.
Speaker 5: Everyone don't worry and DeAndre Hopkins forty one percent of
Speaker 5: his games.
Speaker 6: Were duds last year.
Speaker 5: That's a higher percentage than his safe start percentage a
Speaker 5: year older. Calvin Ridley in town, I love new, but
Speaker 5: I'll go cooked. Sorry, DeAndre.
Speaker 1: The correct answer for DeAndre Hopkins is cooked. It hurts
Speaker 1: people cheering the demise of DeAndre Hopkins over here.
Speaker 6: That guy's cheering.
Speaker 1: Very cool audience right now. Uh, it's not that we
Speaker 1: don't love DeAndre Hopkins. Probably headed to the Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame at some point thirty two years old, missing this
Speaker 1: entire and very important preseason with Will Levis as they're
Speaker 1: trying to install a new offense that's going to set
Speaker 1: up Calvin Ridley to be the lead receiver there the
Speaker 1: number one that's gonna put DeAndre Hopkins into unfamiliar territory
Speaker 1: as a number two. And Will Levis, I mean garbage
Speaker 1: last year.
Speaker 4: You'll support to receiver.
Speaker 6: I don't think he can support two receives.
Speaker 3: You see that Mayo commercial that Will Levis did they
Speaker 3: put it?
Speaker 1: There's your food analogy? R? Yeah, exactly, Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: this is warm Mayo. That's how cooked we are on
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. We're gonna try to get in one more
Speaker 1: tough question. Cooked or merely well done? Aaron Rogers. Oh,
Speaker 1: this could be divisive right here, thor cooked or merely
Speaker 1: well done.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with well done.
Speaker 7: If he can stay on the field, they have enough Yeah,
Speaker 7: I mean you have enough help there where you know,
Speaker 7: being viable as a fantasy player.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go with well done.
Speaker 6: Well done?
Speaker 1: All right, Brian, Aaron Rodgers, cooked or well done?
Speaker 6: I don't know. I think Rogers is probably baked or
Speaker 6: more like tripping his balls off right now. This is
Speaker 6: on radio.
Speaker 1: I'll remind you you can.
Speaker 6: Say balls on radio game, please don't.
Speaker 5: I mean, all right, well, he's tripping his balls off
Speaker 5: right now, probably he's cooked forty I can relate.
Speaker 6: We're all cooked at this age.
Speaker 3: Scott.
Speaker 1: Perhaps you could be more insightful and more FCC friendly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it feels like anything I say will be
Speaker 4: moorf that.
Speaker 6: I just have it as fantasy football, right, we talk.
Speaker 4: About balls all the time. That's basically what our whole show.
Speaker 2: Is.
Speaker 4: Well done is what I have well done. His last
Speaker 4: year with the Packers wasn't good. It was his worst
Speaker 4: season in over a decade, His worst QB rating of
Speaker 4: his career with a full season. But I just think
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers, with a chip on his shoulder and all
Speaker 4: the weapons around him, they're gonna support him just enough
Speaker 4: to be completely cooked.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, to be well done. Aaron Rodgers is well done.
Speaker 1: I love that they rebuilt the entire offensive line in
Speaker 1: New York. It should get a ton better. Brian alluded
Speaker 1: to this earlier yourself. Garrett Wilson, who I think quietly
Speaker 1: is just in raw talent, maybe one of the five
Speaker 1: best wide receivers in the league. It's just he's never
Speaker 1: been in a position, been put in a position to
Speaker 1: show off how good he is. Garrett Wilson's great, And
Speaker 1: you've also got one of the best pass catching backs
Speaker 1: in the NFL and Breeze Hall. Too much talent around
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers to flop. I think they still We're still
Speaker 1: gonna get one more good season out of him.
Speaker 6: Do we have time for more? Oh, we do have
Speaker 6: time for one more.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get it all three of our three tough questions,
Speaker 1: cooked or merely well done? Cooper Cup, Let's see what
Speaker 1: they have to say. I think we're up to Brian
Speaker 1: for this one. Cooper Cup cooked or merely well done?
Speaker 1: Ge Wo Wickers, I will be careful here, guys.
Speaker 5: Just twenty one starts over the last two years for
Speaker 5: Cooper Cup wrong side of thirty. Thor's boy Pooka is
Speaker 5: the alpha there now. But I'm not gonna call Cooper cooked.
Speaker 5: He's well done. I hope he's got enough tread on attire.
Speaker 5: One more year for Cooper Cup well done?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm in the same boat. His explosive play rate
Speaker 4: absolutely tanked dead all levels, Maybe because he was coming
Speaker 4: back from injury, but he seems to be injured a lot.
Speaker 4: But the one thing that didn't is his targets. Top
Speaker 4: six in red zone targets, receptions, top ten in third
Speaker 4: down targets. He's still very much trusted. Over the last month,
Speaker 4: he scored four in four of his last five games,
Speaker 4: double digit Fantasy points in all of them. Yeah, he's
Speaker 4: I don't think he's completely cooked.
Speaker 6: Not cooked yet? All right yet, Thor is Cooper Cup
Speaker 6: cooked or merely well done?
Speaker 7: Cooper Cup is cooked. I don't know if he's going
Speaker 7: to be healthy going forward. I think that's going to
Speaker 7: be a persistent issue. And last year fell off the
Speaker 7: shelf while he was on the field and he has
Speaker 7: clearly been supplanted as the wide receiver one in LA.
Speaker 3: I don't want him on any of my teams this year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, catch right, plummeted last year for Cooper Cup, we
Speaker 1: saw his role significantly change. The big plays dried up,
Speaker 1: his A dots started to shrink. And I can't quite
Speaker 1: go completely cooked because he's still a on the field
Speaker 1: every play receiver in a Sean McVay offense, so I
Speaker 1: can't call him completely cooked now. But we're on our
Speaker 1: way for the thirty one year old Cooper Cup, who
Speaker 1: is at this point well on. Speaking of, well done
Speaker 1: all of you for showing up. Well done, Thank you
Speaker 1: for being a great audience. We have had an amazing
Speaker 1: time today and again for those of you that are here,
Speaker 1: we got our deep dive inside the five data coming up.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a ton of fun continuing here. For
Speaker 1: everybody on the stream, thank you for watching tonight. It's
Speaker 1: been great chatting with you as well. Well, well I
