Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly
Speaker 2: source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. Now
Speaker 2: along with the guys from Guillotine Leagues dot com. Here's
Speaker 2: your host, Paul Jargian.
Speaker 1: It's Fantasy Football Weekly on Paul Charchi and Guillotine Leagues
Speaker 1: dot Com. My co host Brian Johnson, Hello, and making
Speaker 1: his Fantasy Football Weekly debut, Thor Nystrom from Fantasy Bros. Hey, Thor, Now,
Speaker 1: it's your first show. We haven't had a new permanent
Speaker 1: co host on this show for about ten years. It
Speaker 1: was probably Brian is the last post recurrent man hit
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. I believe I made okay, so we'll call
Speaker 1: it eight nine years ago. The last guy who tried didn't.
Speaker 1: It didn't work out, So you know, Thor, I don't
Speaker 1: want you to feel a lout of pressure, but I
Speaker 1: do want you to know the last guy that tried
Speaker 1: got fired after about two shows. The pressure's on. But yeah,
Speaker 1: good to be here, boys here.
Speaker 3: That's not happening with Thor. I'm confident of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we will find well, I know, let's not
Speaker 1: take anything for granted, yet, I don't want Thor to
Speaker 1: start coasting. We're going to go through the show with
Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff that we like to do
Speaker 1: in the preseason, including an item from every team's training camp.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about which teammates would you rather have factoring
Speaker 1: in their ADP as an example, would you rather have
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase at pick three or t Higgins at pick thirty.
Speaker 1: We'll talk through three tough questions, players who we love
Speaker 1: but won't pay the ADP, the average draft position, and
Speaker 1: our blacklist players players that we're just not drafting at
Speaker 1: almost any cost. And we've all got guys that are
Speaker 1: just we've scratched them off our boards. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: who they are and why, and we'll wrap up with
Speaker 1: our sleepers of the week. So lots of stuff to
Speaker 1: get to over the course of these two ish hours
Speaker 1: of the show. We begin with our zip through the
Speaker 1: trading camps of all thirty two teams and Thorp. You
Speaker 1: get to start us out with the Arizona Cardinals. What's
Speaker 1: happening there?
Speaker 4: Yeah, So, zach Ertz was activated from the pup list
Speaker 4: on Tuesdays, clear for football activity and on track to
Speaker 4: start week one, probably not gonna play in the preseason,
Speaker 4: though he was on pace for eighty six catches, seven
Speaker 4: hundred and forty five yards and eight touchdowns last year
Speaker 4: before injuring his name in Week ten. Obviously, they got
Speaker 4: Trey McBride there as well. But I'm gonna avoid both
Speaker 4: those guys at their current ADPs. I think Ertz probably
Speaker 4: finishes seventy to eighty targets this year. It's gonna be
Speaker 4: third to fourth on the team in targets. But you're
Speaker 4: wondering who's gonna play on that team in eleven person now.
Speaker 4: Like I said, I'm gonna avoid both those guys the
Speaker 4: current ADPs.
Speaker 1: I think you're right about that, Brian.
Speaker 3: Want to avoid us the whole team in any There.
Speaker 1: Is that about Raxar, Yes, although I've heard some good
Speaker 1: things about Clayton Tune. I think has looked up maybe
Speaker 1: a little bit better than they expected for a fifth
Speaker 1: round rookie. Brian Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the backfield again.
Speaker 5: I mean, that's really the big news all season is
Speaker 5: the addition of Bijon Robinson through the draft.
Speaker 3: Here's a quote from head coach Arthur.
Speaker 5: Smith recently, which is it's interesting, let's put it that way.
Speaker 5: So he says, we may have the idea that we
Speaker 5: want to get guys a certain number of carries, and
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, Tyler Algier gets a hot hand,
Speaker 5: and what you're doing with him is working. Don't be rigid.
Speaker 5: We have to win the game.
Speaker 1: It seems like.
Speaker 5: He's getting out ahead right now, people getting mad at
Speaker 5: him for not giving b Jon Robinson the ball enough.
Speaker 1: Which could happen.
Speaker 5: So again, I said it last week. I'm a little
Speaker 5: work Bjon Robinson right now, RB three overall in redraft.
Speaker 3: It's a little rich for my blood. I don't know.
Speaker 3: So I don't know.
Speaker 5: We're gonna see more of a you know, a rotation
Speaker 5: or a platoon in Atlanta than most people are expecting.
Speaker 5: But again time will tell. But interesting quote from Smith there.
Speaker 1: And I'm somebody who has had Sakwon Barkley is my
Speaker 1: preseason number one. Ezekiel Elliott is my preseason number one.
Speaker 1: The reason I don't have Bijon is exactly this is
Speaker 1: why he's not my preseason number one, because I worry
Speaker 1: about a rotation for Atlanta that might be deeper than
Speaker 1: people think. Let's go to the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 3: JK.
Speaker 1: Dobbins returned to the team on Monday. He'd been dealing
Speaker 1: with undisclosed injuries, which I don't know. It seemed like
Speaker 1: a contract thing to me more than an injury thing.
Speaker 1: But he's breezed through the team's conditioning tests and is
Speaker 1: practicing fully and coaches described him as one hundred percent
Speaker 1: health And JK. Dobbins, I think time away from the
Speaker 1: team has dropped his average draft position a bit. He
Speaker 1: might be a value at this stage. All right, Thor,
Speaker 1: let's go to the Buffalo Bills. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So, Damian Harris returned to practice on Wednesday after he
Speaker 4: missed the preseason opener against the Colts. Latavius Murray got
Speaker 4: extended to run against the Colts and he played well.
Speaker 4: Damian Harris, He's gonna see his first snaps in the
Speaker 4: next exhibition game against the Steelers on Saturday. You're wondering
Speaker 4: if Latavius could potentially hop Harris in the hierarchy and
Speaker 4: grab some early downwork and goal line looks this coming season.
Speaker 1: That's the thing to watch. Ford there. Let's go to
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. What's happening in training camp?
Speaker 3: They were on hard knocks. Yeah, that was working. We're
Speaker 3: on hard on.
Speaker 1: Adam Feelin dropping the f bombs and by that I
Speaker 1: mean frickins. It was very cute.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he gave Zach Wilson a heartwarming pep talk
Speaker 5: as well. I think you just wanted to get on
Speaker 5: camera with that one, but we'll see. But in terms
Speaker 5: of fantasy again, totally overhauled their offense, essentially new starters
Speaker 5: across the board, starting with Bryce Young. The number one
Speaker 5: overall pick and word out of camp is at Hayden
Speaker 5: Hurst and the aforementioned Adam Feelen have been the primary
Speaker 5: targets for Young so far through camp, So those are
Speaker 5: the two guys I'm targeting. It's interesting in terms of
Speaker 5: the wide receivers right now, Jonathan Mingo wide receiver sixty seven,
Speaker 5: Feeling sixty eight, Right, Chark sixty nine.
Speaker 1: How about that? And we know you're a feeling guy
Speaker 1: guy out of that group, I think he's got another
Speaker 1: good season left in him and at what a crazy
Speaker 1: value you can get him out right now?
Speaker 5: And speaking of value, Hayden Hurst, who I just mentioned,
Speaker 5: tight end twenty seven right now, that seems a little
Speaker 5: cheap for a guy who might be a safety blanket
Speaker 5: for a security blanket for young.
Speaker 1: In Chicago, Cairo Santos won the kicker job for those
Speaker 1: that care. But I want to spend a little more
Speaker 1: time on Roshan Johnson, who ran hard against third stringers
Speaker 1: in the first preseason game, even got some passes his way,
Speaker 1: which we're not was not really going into the season
Speaker 1: thinking he'd catch a lot, but maybe well more than
Speaker 1: we think. And it looks like Roshan Johnson cementing a
Speaker 1: spot as the team's power back and a crowded backfield.
Speaker 1: And I know thorn Iistram is a big fan there.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Cincinnati bengalsore.
Speaker 4: Love Rochean Johnson. Roshan Johnson is going to win that
Speaker 4: starting job.
Speaker 3: Don't don't get him going on Rochan.
Speaker 4: We've only got Rochan. As for the Bengals, Joe Mixon
Speaker 4: was found not guilty of aggrivate aggrivate if I can talk,
Speaker 4: aggravated menacing charges on Thursday at the Bengals release his
Speaker 4: statement saying the organization is pleased at this matter is
Speaker 4: now behind everyone and we look forward to an exciting
Speaker 4: season with Joe being an important part of the football team.
Speaker 1: In more wholesome news.
Speaker 4: Six round Princeton wide receiver Andre yoshi Vas has been
Speaker 4: opening eyes in camp. Yoshivas was one of my favorite
Speaker 4: pet sleepers in this past draft class. He's sort of
Speaker 4: a poor man's Christian Watson, six foot three, two hundred
Speaker 4: pounds track Demi God.
Speaker 1: He was NCAA Indoor champions.
Speaker 4: He has a meat record in the sixty meter dash
Speaker 4: Feldman Freeklister FCS All American.
Speaker 3: Last year.
Speaker 4: He led the Bengals with fifty receiving yards and four
Speaker 4: catches in the preseason opener against the Falcons and is
Speaker 4: looking to close in on locking.
Speaker 1: Up a roster spot. Give me the name again, Andre Yoshivas,
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Andre Yoshivas. Deep dynasty sleeper.
Speaker 5: Thord is going to be a great addition for many reasons,
Speaker 5: but the pronunciation help just like Scott Fish, will be
Speaker 5: much appreciated.
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. We've had three preseason looks of the Cleveland
Speaker 1: Browns already, and here's one thing I know all right
Speaker 1: for sure, dtr can play.
Speaker 5: I like that kid, yeah, the quarterback. Yeah, he's an
Speaker 5: interesting dynasty stash who's not an interesting stash in any format.
Speaker 5: Looks to be John Kelly, who started at running back
Speaker 5: last night and had a disastrous fumble at the goal line.
Speaker 5: Now Jerome Ford is still the primary backup, but he's
Speaker 5: week to week with a hamsterring injury. So well, Cleveland
Speaker 5: signed one of the remaining veteran quarter running backs out
Speaker 5: there to back up Nick Chubb. Only time will tell,
Speaker 5: but uh Kareem Hunt is the is the the premier
Speaker 5: guy left, so it looks like it might be lettered
Speaker 5: Fornette though dude is completely washed. Well, I'm holding out.
Speaker 5: I hopes for John Jerome Ford to be ready for
Speaker 5: Week one. I think he his ADP has fallen understandably
Speaker 5: since the hamstring injury, but it's not like he's out
Speaker 5: for the year. And lastly, real quick rookie wide receiver
Speaker 5: is Cedric Tillman turning heads right now. It's taken in
Speaker 5: the third round as the eleventh wide receiver off the board.
Speaker 5: Did he slide a little too far thor.
Speaker 3: In your opinion?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so keep your eye on Tilman. He
Speaker 3: looks good so far.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: In Dallas, guard Zach Martin ended his holdout, which is
Speaker 1: great news for the Dallas's withering offensive line. Backup running
Speaker 1: back to the story worth following in Dallas and Elite
Speaker 1: Davis has looked bad, just like you did last year.
Speaker 1: Diminutive Deuce Vaughan has had some special moment, but it's
Speaker 1: unclear if he can. He's just big enough and sturdy
Speaker 1: enough to be a full time compliment to Tony Pollard.
Speaker 1: It's worth keeping your eyes open for that one. Let's
Speaker 1: go to the Denver Broncos thore.
Speaker 4: He's won another fun rookie and we're going to talk
Speaker 4: about another one here. Marvin Mims is going to make
Speaker 4: his NFL debut on Saturday against the forty nine ers.
Speaker 4: Mims missed the opener in the preseason against the Cardinals,
Speaker 4: nursing that hamstring injury that he's had since OTA's in
Speaker 4: mini camp. Sean Payton didn't say it Mims would be
Speaker 4: on a pitch count this coming weekend, but he said
Speaker 4: in general response to that question that starters could play
Speaker 4: quote up to twenty four snaps this weekend. In other
Speaker 4: Broncos snapcount news, Peyton said that Javonte Williams, who's coming
Speaker 4: back from a torn acl will play between ten to
Speaker 4: twelve snaps against the Cardinals. Peyton wants Williams to get
Speaker 4: between three to four carries in that game, and would
Speaker 4: also like him to get a target in the passing game.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 5: Scare earlier in the week for Aman Ross Saint Brown
Speaker 5: hurt his ankle, but he should resume practicing next week,
Speaker 5: so if there's any any little dip right now, I
Speaker 5: would buy into that. For Sun God and James and
Speaker 5: Williams hurt his hamstring, likely done for the preseason at
Speaker 5: least in terms of playing any preseason games, but that
Speaker 5: really doesn't matter much because don't forget he cannot play
Speaker 5: until week seven until he's done serving his six week
Speaker 5: suspension for gambling.
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. Honestly, we don't know a lot more
Speaker 1: about Jordan Love than we did with the start of
Speaker 1: training camp. We know he's got the strong arms, some mobility, accuracy,
Speaker 1: decision making vision still big question marks so far. Luke
Speaker 1: Musgrave appears to have separated himself from fellow rookie Tucker
Speaker 1: Craft a bit. His knee injury from last year looks
Speaker 1: fully healed. He's running well, and I think of the two,
Speaker 1: he's the guy that we're looking to draft. We're gonna
Speaker 1: work through a couple more teams training camps. Houston Texans. Four.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tank Dell, it's been earning rave reviews in camp.
Speaker 4: He was the Texans' highest graded wide receiver in the
Speaker 4: preseason opener against the Patriots. Cording to PFF. Here was
Speaker 4: the interesting thing. He had thirty one snaps in that game.
Speaker 4: Twenty seven of them came on the outside. On the outside.
Speaker 4: That yeah, for one hundred and sixty five pound rookie.
Speaker 4: So yet eight targets in that game, five catches, sixty
Speaker 4: five yards and a touchdown. His eighty three point eight
Speaker 4: PFF grade eleventh highest in the NFL.
Speaker 1: In pre season week one, CJ.
Speaker 4: Stroud famously asked Houston's front office to draft Tank on
Speaker 4: Friday of Day two this past April. Right now, Nico Collins,
Speaker 4: Robert Woods, the corpse of Robert Woods, and Noah Brown
Speaker 4: are all listed ahead of Tank on Houston's depth chart.
Speaker 4: I'm here to tell everybody out there that Tank Dell
Speaker 4: not only is starting for Houston this coming season, Tank
Speaker 4: Dell is going to start for Houston on the boundary.
Speaker 4: But that's not all, folks, He's going to be Houston's
Speaker 4: wide receiver one this coming season.
Speaker 1: Wow. All right, I like it laying down some big takes.
Speaker 3: It's on wax.
Speaker 5: Indianapolis Colts Brian Anthony Richardson officially will start Week one.
Speaker 5: I got that wrong a few months ago saying that
Speaker 5: would not be a possibility. But it's go time for
Speaker 5: Richardson and Jonathan Taylor still on the pup list. And
Speaker 5: when it comes to pop here, it's not physical unable
Speaker 5: to perform, it's pay up pal. This isn't an injury related.
Speaker 5: He wants money.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 5: He's now slid into the late second, early third rounds
Speaker 5: of a red draft league. So we shall see what
Speaker 5: happens with Jonathan News. I still think you'll play.
Speaker 1: You can take him as a value and then go
Speaker 1: get his running back, his backups, his handcuffs like Dean Jackson.
Speaker 1: You can go get them at nothing. So I mean, look,
Speaker 1: you know that's your whole angle on drafting Jonathan Taylor
Speaker 1: is just take the backups in case he does hold out,
Speaker 1: which almost nobody does.
Speaker 5: Take Van Ho I have to uh plant my flag
Speaker 5: and the nickname for I came up with Hull the
Speaker 5: incredible hle.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah that Maple Groves Home Jacksonville Jaguars. Two main
Speaker 1: stories here. Calvin Ridley has not looked rusty in his return,
Speaker 1: including early preseason work and then the real story in Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: Though my guy Tank Bigsby the star of rookie camp,
Speaker 1: He's been equally impressive through training camp early preseason action,
Speaker 1: getting praised for his rushing, receiving, and efforts in the
Speaker 1: film room. You love it when the coaches are talking
Speaker 1: about him being a film rat. Oh, Tank Bigsby could
Speaker 1: be a factor as early as week one. I'm in
Speaker 1: the tank era has begun.
Speaker 5: It has it has efforts in the film room.
Speaker 1: Yes, I love it.
Speaker 6: I love it.
Speaker 1: When do we come back? More Training Camp News, Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Weekly Welcome Back segment number two. Fantasy Football Weekly
Speaker 1: Paul Charge and Brian Johnson and thorpe Nystrom with you.
Speaker 1: Thor making his FFW debut. Thor is a Guillotine League
Speaker 1: drafter and you can be too. You know how the
Speaker 1: format works. It's special. It's unique. Eighteen teams start the
Speaker 1: season and there's no head to head Instead, at the
Speaker 1: end of every week, the low scoring team gets chopped.
Speaker 1: All the players go to the waiver wire, and the
Speaker 1: rest of us keep building superstar rosters to compete throughout
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. Super strategic, very different, as
Speaker 1: you're playing to not finish last in any given week
Speaker 1: instead of shooting for the moon, which is typically the
Speaker 1: strategy in standard leagues. If you ain't last, you're first.
Speaker 1: That's right, That's all you gotta do, not finish last.
Speaker 1: We're going through all the training camp around the NFL,
Speaker 1: and we left off roughly halfway through the league. We're
Speaker 1: picking up with the Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So Justin Ross got carted off on Tuesday on the
Speaker 4: practice field with a laying injury, but luckily he returned
Speaker 4: to practice the next day. He's Justin Ross's impressed throughout camp.
Speaker 4: Had two receptions twenty nine yards in a touchdown the
Speaker 4: preseason opener versus the Saints. Once considered a first round
Speaker 4: prospect back at Clemson and a better NFL prospect than
Speaker 4: t Higgins on the exact same roster, obviously, he's been
Speaker 4: mired with health concerns throughout his career, but luckily he's
Speaker 4: back on the practice field hoping to win a roster
Speaker 4: spot and another Chiefs wide receiver news. I thought this
Speaker 4: was an interesting tidbit in Peter King's most recent column,
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes at very high praise for sky Moore. Here
Speaker 4: is a quote from Patrick Mahomes in that Peter King column. Quote,
Speaker 4: I had all the guys down here in Texas for
Speaker 4: over a month and a half for offseason group workouts.
Speaker 4: Sky was at every single workout. I mean every single
Speaker 4: one wanted to get extra work after every single practice.
Speaker 1: He has that drive to be great.
Speaker 3: End quote.
Speaker 1: All Right, sky Moore is the only chief I'm consistently
Speaker 1: drafting across all my leagues. Chiefs receiver, Yeah, clarify, clarify that.
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders Brian.
Speaker 5: More holdout talk Josh Jacobs still holding out last year's
Speaker 5: running back three overall fall into the middle of the
Speaker 5: third round, So another situation to monitor. But I feel
Speaker 5: like he will eventually play a dip. I'd probably be
Speaker 5: buying right now.
Speaker 1: I agreed on that they almost always show up for
Speaker 1: the money. By week one. Los Angeles Chargers Quinton Johnson's
Speaker 1: gotten a lot of work in training camp and in
Speaker 1: the first preseason game led the team in targets with
Speaker 1: six scored his first touchdown in that game. It looks
Speaker 1: like he's getting fast tracked to start the season. It's
Speaker 1: the team's third receiver and there's plenty of upside. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk more about Quinton Johnson later in this show.
Speaker 5: I think he led the team in drops in that
Speaker 5: game too. We had a couple of bad ones, but
Speaker 5: I'm not holding it against them too much.
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams.
Speaker 4: There's a battle royale going on for the wide receiver
Speaker 4: at three spot right now, and it's getting interesting. So
Speaker 4: two two at Well didn't play in the week one
Speaker 4: of the preseason, He's probably not gonna play this weekend either.
Speaker 4: Tyler Johnson had five catches for seventy yards in that
Speaker 4: first game against the Chargers. But it's Pooka Nakua who's
Speaker 4: getting all the praise out of camp. He had an
Speaker 4: eleven yard touchdown catch in traffic between two Chargers in
Speaker 4: that first game, along with three catches. Sean McVay said
Speaker 4: this about Pooka after that game. Quote, He's a guy
Speaker 4: that has great aggressive hands. The touchdown catch contest to
Speaker 4: play right in that red area.
Speaker 1: Bang bang. I'm a huge fan of him. End quote.
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins Brian.
Speaker 5: Offensive tackle Tron Armstead, one of the elite OT's in
Speaker 5: the league, suffered a scare when his ankle got rolled
Speaker 5: up on and joined practice earlier this week, but he
Speaker 5: should be okay for Week one. It looked pretty bad
Speaker 5: at first, but that's good news for a Miami backfield.
Speaker 5: It's still very messy in one that I'm one of
Speaker 5: the top ones I'm avoiding when it comes to drafts
Speaker 5: in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Ty Chandler's building upon a very good preseason last year
Speaker 1: and looks like he's ready to push as the team's
Speaker 1: change of pace runner and perhaps designated pass catching back
Speaker 1: behind Alexander Madison. At a minimum, Chandler is the far
Speaker 1: better receiver than Madison, and I think that's going to
Speaker 1: put him on the field for a lot of third downs.
Speaker 1: And Madison's described himself in the last week or so
Speaker 1: as the team's bell cow. But some people think Chandler
Speaker 1: will press Madison for the lead role at some point
Speaker 1: this year.
Speaker 3: What about Mike Davis. They tried out Mike David. I
Speaker 3: was like, what year is it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, Mike Davis is a is a non factor here.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Let's go to the New England Patriots.
Speaker 4: The Patriots signed at Ezekiel Elliott this past week. Zeke
Speaker 4: finishes running back nineteen. Last year on the same roster
Speaker 4: where Tony Pollard finished as running back seven, Zeke's value
Speaker 4: came from touchdowns. Only Joe Mixon and Jamal Williams total
Speaker 4: more carries inside the ten yard line as Zeke. Last year,
Speaker 4: Zeke scored eight touchdowns from weeks eleven to seventeen.
Speaker 1: Obviously, Zeke needs to carve out a role.
Speaker 4: As New England's primary red zone back to have solid
Speaker 4: value this coming season. He's not going to overtake vermondre Stevenson.
Speaker 4: Get out of here with that, and Zeke he going
Speaker 4: to be hurt from not running behind Dallas is awesome
Speaker 4: offensive line. Now he's got to run behind the New
Speaker 4: England's patchwork offensive line. I think this signing has more
Speaker 4: to do with New England's opinion of Kevin Harrison Pierre
Speaker 4: Strong than it does with their opinion of vermondre Stevenson.
Speaker 1: Ramondra Stevens is awesome. Zee was awesome. He's not anymore correct.
Speaker 1: But what he can do is what you alluded to,
Speaker 1: and that's Dagger Stevenson at the goal line. Stevenson had
Speaker 1: two touchdowns from inside the five last year. That's it too,
Speaker 1: So that's the worry for me.
Speaker 5: Saints Brian by now you should know Alvin Kamara will
Speaker 5: miss the first three games, suspended for his altercation in
Speaker 5: Vegas almost two years ago now, but he's out the
Speaker 5: first three games. Rookie running back Kendre Miller sprained his
Speaker 5: knee earlier in the week, but he returned to practice
Speaker 5: on Thursday, so.
Speaker 3: We should be good to go.
Speaker 5: We're gonna talk more about this backfield later, but I
Speaker 5: must mention Michael Thomas looking pretty spry in the training
Speaker 5: camp hype videos. If he can stay healthy, just return
Speaker 5: to like eighty percent of his prime. Yeah, I'm interested
Speaker 5: at ADP.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately you've given up the ghosts I have. I'm alwayshchi
Speaker 1: he but he's gonna be injured and is injured and
Speaker 1: we're not hearing anything from him, but he's Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: my guy, New York Giants. It's boring, but Matt Brita
Speaker 1: looks like the primary backup behind Saquon Barkley. Rookie Year
Speaker 1: Gray relegated mostly to special teams here, and James Robinson
Speaker 1: looks like a cut candidate altogether. So for those that
Speaker 1: want the handcuff, Matt Brida is probably your guy, let's
Speaker 1: go to the Jets.
Speaker 4: Yeah, another signing here. They obviously they signed Delvin Cook
Speaker 4: this past week. Still haven't seen Delvin on the practice field,
Speaker 4: and we may not see him in the preseason because
Speaker 4: he's finishing up rehab on the offseason shoulder surgery and
Speaker 4: the delay the arrival in New York because he's as
Speaker 4: the expected birth of a child up coming.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 1: Brice Hall, though, I thought it was really interesting.
Speaker 4: When he showed up at practice, like right after Delvin
Speaker 4: signed on the dotted line there.
Speaker 1: Suddenly Breese Haall's healthier.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all of a sudden, So it seems like we
Speaker 4: have better odds that Brees Hall gonna be healthy for
Speaker 4: the start of the season. I'm not as concerned about
Speaker 4: Breece Hall's fantasy utility for this coming season as some
Speaker 4: other people you know, seem to be, so like, you know,
Speaker 4: I'm buying Breeze Hall a little bit more. I do
Speaker 4: think Delvin Cook steals some of his touches, but I'm
Speaker 4: a little bit more bullish on Breese than some other people.
Speaker 1: And then some other sort of news from that.
Speaker 4: Obviously, Delvin signing pushes Michael Carter to RB three and
Speaker 4: it looks like it's gonna cost Bam Knight his job.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it might. We just too Bacu. I thought he
Speaker 1: ran well last year and he'll find stay. He'll stay
Speaker 1: in the NFL, he will.
Speaker 3: Is he still on the button?
Speaker 6: Bart least?
Speaker 3: Should you have a one last? Bam oh gone.
Speaker 1: Gone from the button?
Speaker 3: Ball?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 1: How is it that I've got two toilets and I
Speaker 1: don't have any bands? That's all right?
Speaker 3: You sound like Russell Wilson. You got too many toilets.
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, Brian.
Speaker 5: It's been reported that Kenneth Gainwell will have the quote
Speaker 5: unquote featured back role for Philly. Kenny g sat out
Speaker 5: Thursday's preseason game against Cleveland while DeAndre Swift and Rashad
Speaker 5: Penny played. Swift started, Penny played into the second quarter.
Speaker 5: So score one for the team. Take the cheapest guy
Speaker 5: in the backfield for Kenneth Gainwell right now. We shall
Speaker 5: see if that holds.
Speaker 1: There was a very troubling run for a shod Penny
Speaker 1: in that game, and it was his long run of
Speaker 1: like nine yards. He breaks through a hole right up
Speaker 1: the middle, and then when he needed burst there was
Speaker 1: no burst. Yeah, I mean he was slow. He could
Speaker 1: get cut. It's it's a possibility, Kenny. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: this was what it was. He was running through mud.
Speaker 1: I'm nervous about Rashad Penny.
Speaker 5: They got they got to play the Giants twice the Eagles,
Speaker 5: so you know they're not cutting Boston Scott.
Speaker 1: Oh well, God. Pittsburgh Steelers Kenny Pickett has looked better
Speaker 1: than last year, which was expected in year two in
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's improved offensive line is helping a bit. George Pickens
Speaker 1: is a hopeful breakout candidate year two. He scored a
Speaker 1: pretty touchdown last week in preseason action. I think there's
Speaker 1: opportunity here for Pickens to Pickens to I'll ultimately do
Speaker 1: better than Deontay Johnson from a fantasy standpoint, despite the
Speaker 1: fact that they are not being drafted in that order.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the San Francisco forty nine ers, though, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we might see brock Purty this weekend.
Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan does say that Sam Darnold is going to
Speaker 4: get the majority of the snaps against the Broncos this
Speaker 4: this coming weekend, but brock Purty might.
Speaker 1: We might see an appearance from him. This past week.
Speaker 4: He played He had three consecutive days of practice, but
Speaker 4: Shanahan says that he might get a SEERI. He says
Speaker 4: he's got to talk to the trainers first, but we
Speaker 4: might see him on the field.
Speaker 5: Seattle Seahawks Brian Kenneth Walker returned to full practice on Thursday.
Speaker 5: He had the groin issue Zach Sharpinay he played last week.
Speaker 5: So all those injury concernereds gone for both the top
Speaker 5: running backs in Seattle. I do want to mention Noah
Speaker 5: Fans has been practicing in full. He had a knee issue.
Speaker 5: He started camp on the pup list. I'm intrigued by
Speaker 5: Fan tight end thirty two right now, so he is three.
Speaker 5: Last season, the Seahawks were third in tight end receptions,
Speaker 5: yards and touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Where were they spreading that all out that Noah Fan
Speaker 1: didn't do anything and they were third in all that?
Speaker 5: Will Dislay and Kolbe Parkinson in the mix. But it
Speaker 5: was fans first year with Seattle and he's the blue
Speaker 5: chip prospect of the three.
Speaker 1: So why you're not a prospect in your sixty year
Speaker 1: in the NFL.
Speaker 3: He's not that. How long is Fans been in the league.
Speaker 3: Thorthora would know. He loves Iowa, and he loves tight
Speaker 3: ends just.
Speaker 1: As long as hot has.
Speaker 3: So there you go, five Noah fan, keep your eye
Speaker 3: on him.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to the tam up A Bay Buccaneers. Sadly,
Speaker 1: Russell Gage is out for the year. I worry by
Speaker 1: the time he comes back from this ACL injury that
Speaker 1: it might be his window may be closed. Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: looks like the starter so far this season based on
Speaker 1: training camp in early preseason action, but Trask has got
Speaker 1: the stronger arm. Mike has more of a fantasy upside.
Speaker 1: I don't know Mayfield's the safer starter though. For those
Speaker 1: of us that just want to try to make sure
Speaker 1: we get the ball in the hands of Mike Evans
Speaker 1: and Chris Godwin, this is still a fluid situation. Let's
Speaker 1: wrap up Tennessee Titans into the Washington Commanders. Go to
Speaker 1: Tennessee first thor Yeah, the.
Speaker 4: Titans got a big scare this past week when Traylon
Speaker 4: Brooks suffered a knee injury, but Mike Rabel after the
Speaker 4: fact said it was the best case scenario. The news
Speaker 4: they got back on it because what they got from
Speaker 4: the MRI was this brained LCL no structural damage. According
Speaker 4: to Rabel's Brooks are gonna be out for a couple
Speaker 4: of weeks, but it looks like Brooks has a shot
Speaker 4: to be back for the opener against the Saints on
Speaker 4: September tenth. We'll have to see about that, but like
Speaker 4: Verrabel said, best case scenario.
Speaker 1: We'll wrap up with the watching Commanders, where my one
Speaker 1: of my I don't know, five favorite sleepers, my favorite
Speaker 1: quarterback sleeper in this entire fantasy draft, without a doubt.
Speaker 1: Sam Howell named the starter on Friday.
Speaker 3: You just pretty much took care of it right there.
Speaker 5: But yeah, phase one, if you're an ultimate peacock off complete,
Speaker 5: he's at least starting last week.
Speaker 1: You may remember I called him as a top ten
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 3: I will never forget this, for better or for worse,
Speaker 3: but I hope you're right.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you this. They got Arizona at home week one.
Speaker 5: Set your DFS lineups right now. Got to Sam Howel
Speaker 5: with some commanders, and I love the commanders in a
Speaker 5: survivor pool. I do want to mention real quick, Logan Thomas,
Speaker 5: one of my another deep sleeper at tight end, I
Speaker 5: like still not practicing. They're kind of viewing it as
Speaker 5: a precautionary measure. But if he does, if he's not
Speaker 5: ready for Week one, Cold Turner a guy you might
Speaker 5: want to consider. Arizona historically awful against tight ends. So
Speaker 5: just walk in Sam Howell and either Logan Thomas or
Speaker 5: Cole Turner a bare minimum in your daily lineups and
Speaker 5: you'll be good to go.
Speaker 1: Week one already's setting Week one dfl August. Which teammate
Speaker 1: would you rather have factoring in their ADP. We'll give
Speaker 1: you guys like Jamar Chase versus t Higgins. Which one
Speaker 1: would you rather draft? We'll talk through a series of
Speaker 1: teammates who's better When we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly,
Speaker 1: It's Fantasy Football Weekly Paul Jarchie and Guillotine Leagues dot Com,
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson and Thor Nystrom with you. Thor making his
Speaker 1: f FW debut. Knees are knocking, sweat pouring out of
Speaker 1: his out of his forehead right now. It's very it's
Speaker 1: a very tough job. Thor. It sure is so far,
Speaker 1: so good. Though you haven't been fired mid show, so
Speaker 1: that's that's a positive right there, it is, I think.
Speaker 1: So let's dive into this next segment. Which teammate would
Speaker 1: you rather have? Now, these are all teammates who will
Speaker 1: play the same position, So which teammates would you rather
Speaker 1: have at their average draft position?
Speaker 5: You gotta right.
Speaker 1: You gotta bake in the ADP for this, because we
Speaker 1: would all take Jamar Chase over T. Higgins. But it
Speaker 1: gets a lot more interesting. Would you rather have Jamar
Speaker 1: Chase at pick three or T Higgins at pick thirty?
Speaker 1: Let's begin with Thor. This is a tough one.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with Chase though at at pick three,
Speaker 4: he separated himself at the end of the season as
Speaker 4: the clear, clear number one ELPHA on that team, and
Speaker 4: so I just feel like the juice worth the squeeze
Speaker 4: the twenty seven pick discrepancy.
Speaker 1: I'm paying the premium there, Okay, Brian, Are you taking
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase a pick three or T Higgins pick thirty? Early?
Speaker 1: Second round?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Second round?
Speaker 5: In general, I'm team cheapest guy, but not in this case.
Speaker 5: I will pay the premium for Chase. Like Thor, Despite
Speaker 5: playing in two less games than T. Higgins last year,
Speaker 5: Jamar Chase finished with more catches, yards, and touchdowns than Higgins,
Speaker 5: who saw one hundred and nine targets to one hundred
Speaker 5: and thirty four from Chase in just twelve games. By
Speaker 5: the way, that put Chase on a full season pace
Speaker 5: of one hundred and ninety targets, which.
Speaker 3: Would have been the most among wide receivers.
Speaker 5: Justin Jefferson was first with one hundred and eighty four,
Speaker 5: I believe, And despite missing those five games, Chase had
Speaker 5: the third most red zone targets among wide receivers, which
Speaker 5: accounted for almost twenty eight percent of total team pass
Speaker 5: attempts in the red zone.
Speaker 3: For Sincy, so I will pay the premium for Jamar.
Speaker 1: You also get the consistency from Jamar Chase, which I
Speaker 1: absolutely love. Get this, the percentage of his starts inside
Speaker 1: wide receiver two territory eighty five percent. I mean is
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase just doesn't give you dud games, which we
Speaker 1: just we love. And I'm with you, guys. I'm taking
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase with pick three.
Speaker 5: And his spike weeks are epic like at that too,
Speaker 5: two hundred yards and three or four touchdowns like unfathomable
Speaker 5: at times.
Speaker 1: All right, Brian, next one, We'll start with you Miami
Speaker 1: wide receiver Tyreek Hill at pick seven or Jalen Wattle
Speaker 1: at pick twenty four. Who are you taking here? You
Speaker 1: said you tend to gravitate to the cheap guy, what
Speaker 1: about this one?
Speaker 5: I know I'm gonna be a bit of a hypocrite
Speaker 5: and go up the more expensive guy again, and I'm
Speaker 5: taking Tyreek Hill. There's just not enough of a delta
Speaker 5: and ADP for me to want Wattle over a hill.
Speaker 5: Tyreek was second in receptions at yards among all wide
Speaker 5: receivers last year, and he finished with forty four more
Speaker 5: catches than Waddle and nearly four hundred more yards. And
Speaker 5: thanks to your premium cheat sheets at guillotine leagues dot com, thank.
Speaker 1: You for just organically dropping that into game naturally to
Speaker 1: me twelve, only twelve percent of t Tyreek Hill's games
Speaker 1: were outside.
Speaker 5: Of the top thirty wide receivers. Jalen Waddle was at
Speaker 5: a forty seven percent clip outside of the top thirty
Speaker 5: wide receivers last year.
Speaker 3: So it's ill for me.
Speaker 1: Thor are you taking Tyreek Hill at pick seven or
Speaker 1: Jalen Wattle at pick twenty four.
Speaker 4: I promise I'm not going to go chalk on every
Speaker 4: single one, but I also have to go Tyreek Hill
Speaker 4: on this one when Tua was under center. Last year,
Speaker 4: tyreek Hill led the NFL in yards per game. Tyreek
Speaker 4: Hill was on pace for over eighteen hundred receiving yards
Speaker 4: when Tua was under center. Tyrek Hill could absolutely lead
Speaker 4: the NFL in receiving yards this year if to A
Speaker 4: plays seventeen games, and in fact might be the favorite
Speaker 4: outcome if that happens.
Speaker 1: Well, you guys have really hit on all my bullet points.
Speaker 1: I had Tyrek Hill as well. As we continue with
Speaker 1: the teammate you'd rather have. Let's see if this we
Speaker 1: can separate you guys. Let's go to Detroit running backs.
Speaker 1: Jamir Gibbs going in round three, David Montgomery way down
Speaker 1: in round seven. Who are you taking here? We begin
Speaker 1: this time with thor I finally get to go nonschalk.
Speaker 4: I'm going David Montgomery with a bullet David Montgomery's gonna
Speaker 4: get the red zone touchers. He's gonna get the meat
Speaker 4: and potatoes work. And I think this is an important point.
Speaker 4: David Montgomery's a much better receiver than Jamal Williams was.
Speaker 4: And so like you know, you hear the stuff about like, oh,
Speaker 4: Jamier Gibbs are getting the work out of the slot
Speaker 4: in CAVI and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're they're gonna use them.
Speaker 4: There as much as maybe some people think, because you
Speaker 4: obviously have you know, a Monra and different stuff like that.
Speaker 4: But I think the times when he's out there, David
Speaker 4: Montgomery could get work there, and he's certainly gonna David
Speaker 4: Montgomery gonna get more work as a receiver than Jamal
Speaker 4: Williams dead, So I think that's going to factor into
Speaker 4: his fantasy value as well.
Speaker 1: All Right, Brian, which teammate would you rather have? Jamiir
Speaker 1: Gibbs round three David Montgomery round seven?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm with thor I'm gonna take Montgomery later. He's
Speaker 5: taking the role of Jamal Williams, who quite simply he
Speaker 5: led the league in rushing touchdowns with a seventeen last year.
Speaker 5: And Jamier Gibbs an exciting prospect, but he's a rookie,
Speaker 5: and you don't really know what you're gonna get with rookies.
Speaker 5: You know you're going to get consistency with David Montgomery,
Speaker 5: you would think, and likely at least ten touchdowns.
Speaker 3: So I'm taking Monty in the seventh over Gibbs in
Speaker 3: the third.
Speaker 1: Clean sweep we all like. And by the way, I
Speaker 1: love Jamiir Gibbs. I mean, this is nothing bad about
Speaker 1: Jamier gibbson. I think his third round ADP is appropriate.
Speaker 1: But David Montgomery, this team, the Lions team ran the
Speaker 1: ball inside the five so well, thirty three carries for
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams from inside the five, and they converted that.
Speaker 1: They converted that into fourteen touchdowns. That has left the
Speaker 1: coaching staff knows that great offensive line is going to
Speaker 1: power in touchdowns from inside the five. Jamiir gibbs is
Speaker 1: not built for that. David Montgomery is. He'll be the
Speaker 1: guy to get that work.
Speaker 5: Just to tack onto that really quick. I believe he
Speaker 5: was at least five or six times. I'm on Roussaint
Speaker 5: Brown was tackled at that one. That opened up all
Speaker 5: those opportunities. Imagine if Saint Brown, some guy scored those touchdowns,
Speaker 5: he'd be might be wide receiver one round.
Speaker 1: We need to spend more time on Iman Ross Saint
Speaker 1: Brown in various points during the preseason of the show.
Speaker 1: All right, our next teammates Brian Tennessee wide receiver Andre
Speaker 1: Hopkins round five or Trailing Burks in round eight. Now
Speaker 1: Burkes got has been dinged up but is expected to
Speaker 1: come back roughly around week one, so factor that into
Speaker 1: your your thoughts here. Andre DeAndre Hopkins round five trailing Burks,
Speaker 1: Round eight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, his ADP will slide for sure, Burks that is.
Speaker 1: But again, yeah, thankfully he might be like ten or
Speaker 1: eleven on this injury news.
Speaker 5: So I'm still I was gonna take Burkes before the injury.
Speaker 5: I'm still taking him now. We should know he's guaranteed
Speaker 5: to not seriously injure himself for the next few weeks,
Speaker 5: and you can't say that for a lot of a
Speaker 5: lot of players. So I'm leaning Burkes. Thankfully again he
Speaker 5: avoided the major injury. But really not a passing offense
Speaker 5: to be too excited about. Tennessee bottom six in passing
Speaker 5: play percentage last year.
Speaker 3: So I'm definitely taking the cheaper and younger guy despite
Speaker 3: the recent injury.
Speaker 1: All Right, four, which teammate are you taking?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: If Andray Hopkins round five trailing Burks, round eight or more.
Speaker 4: If we're getting round ten or round eleven, you're playing
Speaker 4: with new rules here, Johnson. But if I'm getting the
Speaker 4: round ten or eleven, I'm going Berks for sure, especially
Speaker 4: if I know that he's gonna play let's say, fifteen
Speaker 4: sixteen games, if we're guaranteed that. I disagree with analysts
Speaker 4: out there that thought did that DeAndre Hopkins signing kills
Speaker 4: or neutered Brooks's fantasy value. I actually think it opens
Speaker 4: him up for the game that we thought that he
Speaker 4: had for that to flour out. He has this like
Speaker 4: Swiss army game where you move him around the formation
Speaker 4: and then you manufacture touches for him. I don't think
Speaker 4: Traylon Brooks is a wide receiver one the NFL. I
Speaker 4: think he's a dang good wide receiver too. DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 4: being there for him now opposing teams can't put.
Speaker 1: Their cornerback one on Traylon Brooks.
Speaker 4: Now you can manufacture touch it for him, move him
Speaker 4: around the formation, and now you have a better offense
Speaker 4: for him to play him.
Speaker 5: I am currently on the clock in a DraftKings Best
Speaker 5: Ball League at pick one seventeen, and Burks is available
Speaker 5: with an ADP of ninety eight right now, so he's
Speaker 5: almost fallow two rounds. Yeah, the ADP right now for sure,
Speaker 5: and I think I'm going to take him.
Speaker 1: I'm on high Hopkins, and I'll explain more why later
Speaker 1: in this show. Let's stick with our teammates and who
Speaker 1: we prefer Buffalo tight ends. You didn't think I was
Speaker 1: gonna work in a tight end one, did you? But
Speaker 1: I went out of my way to find a tight
Speaker 1: end comparison that we could talk about. Dalton Kincaid rookie
Speaker 1: going off the board round eleven or Dawson Knox effectively
Speaker 1: free round sixteen, or we begin with you.
Speaker 4: This is the easiest one on the whole list for me,
Speaker 4: This Dalton Kinkaid, super duper easy. Duwston Knox is only
Speaker 4: good for one season now is just because of touchdowns.
Speaker 4: I love Dalton kin k. Dalton KK gonna be a
Speaker 4: stud from day one. Dalton KK gonna be the Buffalo
Speaker 4: Bills wide receiver two from day one. He's only tight
Speaker 4: end by the designation. He going to be a big
Speaker 4: slot and you're gonna play boundary receiver from day one.
Speaker 4: Like I said, I would rank Dalton Kinkaid in the
Speaker 4: tight ends for this coming season, either like tight end
Speaker 4: seven or eight. He's criminally underrated by the fantasy community,
Speaker 4: not for long.
Speaker 1: Once he takes the field. Dalton KK with a bullet.
Speaker 1: Let's see if we have a consensus here, Buffalo tight
Speaker 1: ends Dalton Kincaid round eleven or Dawson Knox round sixteen.
Speaker 5: Brian Thora and I are in an agreement where Kincaid
Speaker 5: gonna play wide receiver essentially. But I'm a little I
Speaker 5: won't say concern, but round eleven seems expensive for a
Speaker 5: rookie wide receiver. Give me Knox because Kinkaid is not
Speaker 5: going to threaten Knox's snap count whatsoever or his role
Speaker 5: in the sixteenth round.
Speaker 3: Like you said, Charchie's free.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of competition in Buffalo at the wide
Speaker 5: receiver position. Khalil Shakira is emerging, Andy Isabella and I'm
Speaker 5: just kidding there, but I don't know I'm going cheap
Speaker 5: with with Knox.
Speaker 3: I don't think Dalton Kincaid is going.
Speaker 5: To have a rookie or historic rookie tight end season
Speaker 5: like Kyle Pitts did when he topped one thousand yards
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: We like to use this stat a lot, and I
Speaker 1: don't have it memorized, so I'm just just gonna be
Speaker 1: close last fifteen. Maybe it's twenty years now. Round one
Speaker 1: tight ends average season, thirty catches, three hundred yards, two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Round one tight ends, it is very, very tough even
Speaker 1: and many of those have gone on to elite phenomenal careers.
Speaker 1: Tight End is the toughest position to get to rest
Speaker 1: fantasy value from in year one. Folks, take the over.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna go over thirty going over.
Speaker 3: I agree there, All right.
Speaker 1: Let's continue on with teammates we've been with. I think
Speaker 1: this is a Brian time Buffalo running backs. James Cook
Speaker 1: is round six, Damian Harris round twelve. Who you taken?
Speaker 5: I've been on team Harris all off season, but I'm
Speaker 5: gonna waffle here and say Cook. Harris has missed significant
Speaker 5: time in two of the last three years, has already
Speaker 5: been dealing with a knee issue in camp. He has
Speaker 5: been back at practice recently. But I'm gonna shoot for
Speaker 5: the moon in James Cook. If he does secure like
Speaker 5: a Bell Coow type role for this Bill's offense, getting
Speaker 5: him in round six, that's an insane steel. I still
Speaker 5: like Harris, but the upside for Cook is just too
Speaker 5: much for me to ignore right now.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna I'm gonna wean Cook over Harrison.
Speaker 1: Which teammate running backs for Buffalo. Would you rather have
Speaker 1: James Cook in round six? Damien Harris?
Speaker 4: Round twelve, Well, Brian went one for two on his
Speaker 4: bills take, so I like that. James Cook is a stud.
Speaker 4: This one's easy as well. James Cook easy, Damien Harris.
Speaker 4: I don't even know if he's gonna win the running
Speaker 4: back to one there. He's still fener and off with
Speaker 4: the tay Avs. James Cook is a good value in
Speaker 4: round six.
Speaker 1: That one's easy.
Speaker 3: Now we're gonna get scolded right now, Thoris. You'll learn
Speaker 3: this soon enough.
Speaker 1: Well, look, I like James Cook from a PPR standpoint,
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna he could be sitting on
Speaker 1: a forty catch season, which would help him a lot,
Speaker 1: maybe even more. Who knows about that, Damien Harrison. Dang
Speaker 1: could runner that guy. He's a power runner and he's
Speaker 1: going to get the touchdowns. And I worry about James
Speaker 1: Cook sitting on a five touchdown season, which is very
Speaker 1: in fact, it's not even so. It's probably likely he's
Speaker 1: got to break his touchdowns from outside and he's got
Speaker 1: to try to catch touchdowns. That's the part that worries
Speaker 1: me about Cook and why I'd rather have Harrison round twelve.
Speaker 5: You just love running backs named Damien, regardless of spelling.
Speaker 1: So long as as the Damien it's your guys. Nobody's
Speaker 1: as good as Damian Pierce. Oh, all right, let's continue
Speaker 1: on Green Bay running backs. Aaron Jones costs you a
Speaker 1: fourth rounder. AJ Dillon costs you an a rounder. Thor
Speaker 1: I'm going with Aaron Jones in this one.
Speaker 4: He hasn't shown any falloff inefficiency, but AJ Dillon has
Speaker 4: AJ Jones breaking less tackles nowadays. I think Aaron Jones
Speaker 4: bounces back in the touchdown department. That's where he fell
Speaker 4: off last year. The value is going to come back.
Speaker 4: Once it does, We're going Aaron Jones.
Speaker 1: Okay, Bryant, which green Bay running back? Do you like
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones or AJ Dillon?
Speaker 5: You want to talk about falling off in the touchdown department?
Speaker 5: Touchdowns inside the ten yard line last year five for
Speaker 5: AJ Dillon, zero ro for Aaron Jones, and I love only.
Speaker 1: Two carries for Aaron Jones all year.
Speaker 5: I love both, along with the entire Packer offense. I
Speaker 5: think they're very undervalued, but Jones a ton of upside.
Speaker 5: But I'm gonna take Dylan here in the later rounds.
Speaker 5: He's also in a contract year. They might give him
Speaker 5: the old run him into the ground treatment. So I'm
Speaker 5: gonna lean Dylan and disagree with Thorp. Still love you Thorp.
Speaker 1: Same rash at al for me on AJ Dillon. All right, Brian,
Speaker 1: your next up Saints running backs? She got three options here.
Speaker 1: Do you want Alvin Kamara round five, Jamal Williams round eight,
Speaker 1: or ken rookie Kendre Miller round thirteen.
Speaker 5: You're tempted to go Williams because he had seventeen rushing
Speaker 5: touchdowns last year, but again that was on an entirely
Speaker 5: different team, entirely different offense. Better offense, better offense. For sure,
Speaker 5: Kamara're gonna miss the first three games. That hurts you'dlate
Speaker 5: to get out to a hot start in fantasy. He's
Speaker 5: not going to help you in that department. So I'm
Speaker 5: going to go with the cheapest option in Miller, who
Speaker 5: should play like the Kamara role for the first three
Speaker 5: games and who knows he might just outright steal that
Speaker 5: job when Kamara is ready to come back. And the
Speaker 5: thing that's scared about Williams again not he's not on
Speaker 5: the Lions anymore. It's Taysom Hill just lurking in the
Speaker 5: red zone just to steal those goal line touchdowns. So
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm gonna shoot the moon here and go
Speaker 5: Kendre Miller, who's going pretty late in round thirteen?
Speaker 1: All right, thor which of the Saints running backs would
Speaker 1: you rather have? I'm gonna go, hang on, I'll just
Speaker 1: set it up again, Alvin Kamara round five, Jamal Williams
Speaker 1: round eight, or Kendrey Miller round thirteen. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with Elvin Kamara here. I think you get.
Speaker 4: Him at a discount just because the suspension for the
Speaker 4: first three games.
Speaker 1: People aren't baking in that.
Speaker 4: Alvin Kamara last year was RB thirteen and fantasy points
Speaker 4: per game and RB seven and expected Fantasy points per game.
Speaker 4: I'm going Alvin Kamara at the discount with the round
Speaker 4: five price tag.
Speaker 1: All right, let's sneak in one more bonus teammates right here.
Speaker 3: Well, who are you taking charge?
Speaker 1: Oh? I am taking Kendre Miller because I think Jamal
Speaker 1: Williams only I my fate rets on whether or not
Speaker 1: he gets the binary touchdown yes or no, So if
Speaker 1: he doesn't score I'm looking at like a two point game,
Speaker 1: and I don't like that. Out of my runners, Alvin
Speaker 1: Kamara might be pseudo washed. I'm nervous about him, so
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm taking the cheapest guy. I'm taking Kendre Miller.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a special talent, but I don't
Speaker 1: want to invest a round five or round eight into
Speaker 1: guys I don't believe in. So that's my take. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go to Seattle. I think this is a really
Speaker 1: really tricky spot. Are we taking Kenneth Walker or Zach
Speaker 1: Sharbonay and Thornim? To start with you, and I know
Speaker 1: you're very rote on both of these guys. You do
Speaker 1: a ton of college prep on these guys. I love
Speaker 1: what I saw at as Zach Sharbonay, but this was
Speaker 1: a bad landing spot. Which of the two are you taking?
Speaker 1: What wrong we got? I don't know. I'm looking it
Speaker 1: up right now.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well I go, I go Sharboney, depending on the rounds.
Speaker 4: But I'm a big fan of Zach Scharbeney. I actually
Speaker 4: ranked Zach Sharboney two spots higher on my overall board
Speaker 4: then I did Jamiir Gibbs and a part of that
Speaker 4: is just because you can give him the ball so much,
Speaker 4: which is why it broke my heart that he got
Speaker 4: taken by Seattle, because they obviously had the guy that
Speaker 4: could get the.
Speaker 1: Early down work in Kenneth Walker.
Speaker 4: Very curious to see how that ends up shaking out,
Speaker 4: but I know that that charbonate they're going to give
Speaker 4: him the ball a lot in the passing game because
Speaker 4: that's what he can do. Kenneth Walker, he can't handle
Speaker 4: any of that stuff. Yeah, obviously prioritize that Walker is
Speaker 4: like a fourth round pick. Charbon e eighth or nine, then.
Speaker 1: Definitely Charbon is round Well, he's picked one hundred and
Speaker 1: twelve overall, and if I'm doing the math correc that's
Speaker 1: about round nine. So yeah, Charbon is a great talent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like I like sharbona here. Walker was really really inefficient.
Speaker 1: They didn't give him any carries inside the five last year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you can't play Walker out third down, you
Speaker 4: can't play him on passing downs, and Charboney was super
Speaker 4: underrated as a passing down back, Like he's a really
Speaker 4: good receiver.
Speaker 1: I think I think Charbon is the way to go here,
Speaker 1: and it's you know, Walker is a good talent. We
Speaker 1: like him, yeah, but Sharbone feels like he's going to
Speaker 1: be the Fantasy point guy. Agreed, especially in PPR when
Speaker 1: we come back. Three tough questions play along see if
Speaker 1: you can go three and zero? And also my chie
Speaker 1: sheet available for free Guillotine leagues dot com where you
Speaker 1: can play in a guillotine league or even a high
Speaker 1: snakes guillotine league called super Chop. All of that. Bye bye,
Speaker 1: our number two Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Charchie and Guillotine
Speaker 1: at leagues dot com. Brian Johnson and thorneistroom with you
Speaker 1: fantasy pros. This is a game we call three tough questions.
Speaker 6: Tough question Number one, you want to play along.
Speaker 1: See if you can go three and oh. Let's assume
Speaker 1: you're in multiple leagues, maybe a lot of leagues. Do
Speaker 1: you distribute your selections your draft selections among differing players
Speaker 1: or do you double triple, quadruple down on your favorite
Speaker 1: players in all your leagues? Explain this properly, I hope.
Speaker 1: So do you try to distribute your your rosters across
Speaker 1: a lot of different players or do you concentrate your
Speaker 1: roster on your favorite players. We begin with Thorpe and Eistrom.
Speaker 4: So for me, I'm a slave to my value board
Speaker 4: for better or worse. So I'm not going to take
Speaker 4: a value dive to cross pawin it. I don't care,
Speaker 4: all right.
Speaker 1: So that is a I'm you which side of this
Speaker 1: you're on? You're on the condensed? Yeah, like all your
Speaker 1: eggs in one back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like the guys that I'm higher on than consensus,
Speaker 4: I'll end up with a whole bunch of those guys
Speaker 4: on my different teams.
Speaker 1: I'm sticking to my board no matter what.
Speaker 4: I don't mind if I have a ton of shares
Speaker 4: of one dude at the end of the day, that's cool,
Speaker 4: all right, Brian.
Speaker 1: Are you distributing your selections widely among differing players or
Speaker 1: are you double tripling, quadrupling down on your favorites in
Speaker 1: your leagues?
Speaker 3: Well, I'm nearing five hundred Best ball drafts.
Speaker 5: Different you gotta diversify your portfolio when it comes to
Speaker 5: Best Ball. I'm not talking about that, but like in
Speaker 5: my my home leagues, I'm not in as many as
Speaker 5: I used to be. Yeah, I'll go get my guys basically,
Speaker 5: So I'll be drafting Gerald Everett in all of my
Speaker 5: home leagues as you're coming.
Speaker 3: I love Gerald Everett.
Speaker 1: This was a tough one because my my fundamental, biggest
Speaker 1: motto in the preseason is go get your guys. Don't
Speaker 1: care about ADP. Just go get your guys. Just because
Speaker 1: he's supposed to go a half round later. Don't care.
Speaker 1: Go get your guys. But if you're in four leagues
Speaker 1: and you put my beloved Damian Pierce on all four,
Speaker 1: all four teams, it's not your fault. If he goes
Speaker 1: down in Week two with an ACL. You didn't do
Speaker 1: anything wrong. You may have read it exactly right given
Speaker 1: what you know right now, there's no reason to lose
Speaker 1: four leagues on one ACL, and that can happen with
Speaker 1: an early round pick. So I think you do have
Speaker 1: to do a fair amount of distribution, and there should
Speaker 1: be a lot of players you like. There's tons of
Speaker 1: great players out there, and there's too much hubrius around.
Speaker 1: I gotta have, you know, my one guy, you know
Speaker 1: you're probably go get figure out who you're guys are.
Speaker 1: There should be I don't know, like twenty you really
Speaker 1: want to have on rosters, Spread it out, spread out
Speaker 1: the guys you love so that your season doesn't end
Speaker 1: across all of your leagues because one guy or maybe
Speaker 1: two guys that you have on too many leagues all
Speaker 1: get injured at the same time. Or by the way,
Speaker 1: it's not even always injury. Sometimes it is the quarterback
Speaker 1: goes down and then the whole rest of the offense
Speaker 1: isn't even functional and you still read the tea leaves right,
Speaker 1: but you couldn't have known the injury was coming.
Speaker 6: Tough question number two.
Speaker 1: In Dynasty or Empire redrafts, which tight end? Which rookie
Speaker 1: tight end are you taking? After Sam Laporta and Dalton
Speaker 1: Kincaid go off the board, then which tight end are
Speaker 1: you investing in for your Dynasty or Empire draft? We
Speaker 1: begin with Brian.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't have expected to be saying this a month, two,
Speaker 5: three months ago, because I didn't really know who he was.
Speaker 5: Thorn knows all the rookies are. I just want to
Speaker 5: go second for these next two and to say, yeah,
Speaker 5: I agree whatever, Yeah, I'm gonna go with Luke Musgrave,
Speaker 5: who drafted in the second round. He's been clocked as
Speaker 5: the fastest player at Packers' training camp, which.
Speaker 7: Is he's not faster than Christian Watson, he is he is,
Speaker 7: they'd say he is there radar Gun Musgrave winner running
Speaker 7: routes as a wide receiver.
Speaker 5: In the last preseason game. They're giving him Jets sweeps
Speaker 5: in the red zone.
Speaker 3: In practice.
Speaker 5: They're gonna utilize this kid all over the field.
Speaker 3: And he's the fastest player on the Packers.
Speaker 6: No, he's not.
Speaker 5: Da Dave sinnecon told me this, and no one knows
Speaker 5: what about the Packers, And Dave sine can back me up,
Speaker 5: Dave Thor.
Speaker 1: In Dynasty and Empire redrafts, which tight end rookie Titan
Speaker 1: are you taking after Sam Laporta and Dalton kin cad
Speaker 1: are off the board.
Speaker 4: I'm taking Michael Mayer. He would be in like Tier
Speaker 4: two of his own for me. Like the problem with
Speaker 4: Michael Mayor is he's not explosive, but he's an efficiency monster.
Speaker 4: He beat his hands are pretty good, he's very good
Speaker 4: in the intermediate area, and he breaks a whole bunch
Speaker 4: of tackles. So I'm not a believer in Musgrave. I
Speaker 4: don't care about the camp stuff. He doesn't break tackles,
Speaker 4: he's not agile, he can't stay on the field. He
Speaker 4: only had thirteen starts in college. He couldn't get on
Speaker 4: the field earlier in his career. Then last year was
Speaker 4: supposed to be the breakout season. He gets injured right away.
Speaker 4: He's been dinged up throughout the five years that he'd
Speaker 4: been on campus, only had forty seven catches in college.
Speaker 1: He obviously had.
Speaker 4: A really good testing profile and his uncle's bill with
Speaker 4: Bill Muskrave, which is why he ended up getting drafted
Speaker 4: higher with a multi sport athlete and the testing profile good.
Speaker 4: Like I said, but yeah, I'm out on him just
Speaker 4: because of the historical president of guys that didn't play
Speaker 4: much a different stuff like that, you know, shooting the
Speaker 4: moon on that Musgrave.
Speaker 1: It feels like Musgrave is going to need that traditional
Speaker 1: tight end like three years to ramp up because he
Speaker 1: wasn't productive in college. You know who was Michael Mayer
Speaker 1: was correct over eight hundred receiving yards and back to
Speaker 1: back seasons at Notre Dame. Have to a potentially very
Speaker 1: good starting quarterback next year when the Raiders are picking
Speaker 1: like third in the draft, they're gonna set up their
Speaker 1: quarterback in the future next season and that guy's gonna
Speaker 1: be working with Michael Mayor for the rest of his career.
Speaker 4: And this coming year he's got the path to the
Speaker 4: starting Like I think you're going to start this year,
Speaker 4: and you have Jimmy Garoppolo that can't throw the ball
Speaker 4: beyond twenty yards, Well, Michael Mayer sets up in the
Speaker 4: last year at Notre Dame, they had this noodle armed kid,
Speaker 4: Drew Pine. All they did every single play was just
Speaker 4: forced the ball to Michael Maher and Michael Mayer bet
Speaker 4: double teamed every single time, and then Michael Mayer would
Speaker 4: just catch the ball and then he fight off all
Speaker 4: these different guys that were you know, honed in on
Speaker 4: him or whatever. That's what's going to happen to the Raiders.
Speaker 4: They're just going to force the ball to Michael Bhayer.
Speaker 4: Then you're gonna break tackles.
Speaker 1: As Matt Harrison described on this show last week, there's
Speaker 1: and I'm listening to this, there's a real scenario where
Speaker 1: DeVonta Adams is not on this team at the trade deadline.
Speaker 1: He's not a Raider, He's somewhere else. That would move
Speaker 1: Mayor up the pecking order as well.
Speaker 6: For sure.
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison three, mattis NOW'SFO But I think it's legitimate
Speaker 1: to wonder if DeVante Adams are going.
Speaker 6: To be the tough question number three once.
Speaker 1: Again in Dynasty and Empire redrafts. Which rookie wide receiver
Speaker 1: are you taking after Jackson Smith and the Jigba is
Speaker 1: off the board and Jordan Addison's off the board, then
Speaker 1: where are you going? We begin with thor.
Speaker 4: Well Quentin Johnson, and I'll put Quinton Johnson above Jordan
Speaker 4: Addison too. Quintin Johnson was my wide receiver one in
Speaker 4: this past class above both these guys. You would have
Speaker 4: to put Smith and Jigba above him for fantasy. But
Speaker 4: I love Quinton Johnson. And in the offense, you know,
Speaker 4: obviously they have the new offensive coordinator, the fella they
Speaker 4: brought over from the Cowboys. He loves using guys like this.
Speaker 4: Quentin Johnson was super underrated during the draft process. He's
Speaker 4: a stud athlete eighty seven percentile. He's a forty point
Speaker 4: five inch vertical. He has a six to eight wingspan,
Speaker 4: could get up in the air and go down and
Speaker 4: get it six to three home run hitter. I really
Speaker 4: like his game, and he can do all the different
Speaker 4: gadget stuff like people didn't give him the credit for that.
Speaker 4: You can do Brandon Ayuk stuff with him. Deebo Samuel stuff,
Speaker 4: bringing him in the backfield, you know, giving him stuff
Speaker 4: like that. They're gonna use him like that, so like
Speaker 4: you know, and you can play him out of the
Speaker 4: slot too, so he's gonna get a bunch of usage.
Speaker 4: You're obviously gonna be starting from day one. So I'm
Speaker 4: a big fan of his game. You can get the
Speaker 4: targets from for immediately. So I'm going QJ here, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Quintin Johnson is your answer, Brian in Dynasty and
Speaker 1: Empire Redrafts, Which rookie wide receiver are you taking after
Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigba and Jordan Addison are off the board.
Speaker 5: It's QJ for all the things Thor said the offensive
Speaker 5: coordinator Kellen Moore, and every show I'm on the season,
Speaker 5: I'm going to make fun of the Cowboys for letting
Speaker 5: Kellen Moore walk essentially because he scored too many touchdowns
Speaker 5: too quickly. You gotta love everyone on this Chargers offense
Speaker 5: and Keenan Allen getting older, Mike Williams banged up throughout
Speaker 5: his career, Quintin Johnson could find himself as the wide
Speaker 5: receiver one for that team as early as this season.
Speaker 5: It's not gonna be Week one, but it could be
Speaker 5: some midpoint of the season, you know, two thirds into
Speaker 5: the season. He's got he got a bright future, even
Speaker 5: though he had some pretty bad drops in the last
Speaker 5: preseason game.
Speaker 1: I gave some thought to Zay Flowers here, who has
Speaker 1: the advantage of all that proven production in college, and
Speaker 1: he's already probably the best receiver on his team right
Speaker 1: now this year, but he's so much smaller, and he's
Speaker 1: going to play mostly the slot, where it's really hard
Speaker 1: to get fantasy points out of small receivers and guys
Speaker 1: who play the slot. Not impossible, but it's harder. And
Speaker 1: when you look at the fantas, the profile of consistently
Speaker 1: productive fantasy wide receivers, by and large, they are bigger, bodied,
Speaker 1: body control receivers AJ Brown, Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase. And
Speaker 1: that profile just fits Quinton Johnson better. The speed, the size,
Speaker 1: the athleticism to catch radius. He's just got more upside
Speaker 1: than Zay Flowers has got. I think for the Jay
Speaker 1: Flowers sitting on a nice game, a nice season, a
Speaker 1: nice career, but he feels like six catches, sixty five yards,
Speaker 1: no touchdowns, a lot of games. Quintin Johnson's got way
Speaker 1: more upside. And that is the correct answer to the
Speaker 1: third tough question.
Speaker 3: Back to Luke Musgrave real quick.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the floor Musgrave the fastest player at Pink Packers
Speaker 5: camp in terms of miles per hour. Thora you're at
Speaker 5: the Senior Bowl, right, I was clocked at over twenty
Speaker 5: miles per hour at six six two fifty five.
Speaker 3: Luke Musgrave, Yeah, it was in.
Speaker 5: Front of change that answer.
Speaker 4: Charge, Well, he was. He was the only the Zebra
Speaker 4: system what you're talking about. He was the only tight
Speaker 4: end it's ever gotten over twenty in the Zebra system
Speaker 4: at the Senior ball. I was just impressed though that
Speaker 4: he could stay on the field for the whole Senior
Speaker 4: boss out there.
Speaker 1: I gave him the golf clap.
Speaker 5: We're gonna we're gonna remembering this one.
Speaker 1: For Yes, Luke Musgrave is gonna be the player that
Speaker 1: divides us.
Speaker 3: I think the best bar. I don't know much about
Speaker 3: Michael Meyer.
Speaker 5: I watch him a few times at an Order Dame,
Speaker 5: but whenever he caught the ball they would play the
Speaker 5: Halloween song.
Speaker 3: But then then then then that was awesome. They better
Speaker 3: do that in Vegas for him for his twenty catches.
Speaker 3: Will have this year.
Speaker 1: Probably would we come back players who we love but
Speaker 1: we hate their ADP. So these are all players that
Speaker 1: we like. We would take them on our team, but
Speaker 1: so does everybody else likes them too, and they're too expensive.
Speaker 1: So players we like, but we're not going to draft.
Speaker 1: Coming up next Fantasy Football Weekly. Also, if you want
Speaker 1: to join a guillotine league, it's a perfect time to
Speaker 1: get in. You get one idea. Take your regular league
Speaker 1: and take all the same players and do a side
Speaker 1: guillotine league. See who finishes last, Who is the last
Speaker 1: man standing among your draft. It's another option to play
Speaker 1: at guillotine leagues dot com. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.
Speaker 1: Paul Jarge and Brian Johnson Thorne Eistrom with you. There's
Speaker 1: a segment we call love the player, hate the We'll
Speaker 1: give you a quarterback, a running back, a wide receiver,
Speaker 1: and a tight end that we we like these players.
Speaker 1: We think these are good players, but we're not willing
Speaker 1: to pay the price for each of these guys. We
Speaker 1: begin with thor who is your love the player, hate
Speaker 1: the ADP?
Speaker 4: Quarterback? I'm gonna say you used to love the player,
Speaker 4: hate the ADP. Deshaun Watson. A recent report from Zach
Speaker 4: Jackson of The Athletic stated, anything that involves Deshaun Watson
Speaker 4: remaining in the pocket has been an adventure during camp,
Speaker 4: and not since early in camp have we seen a
Speaker 4: string of consecutive completions in any eleven eleven period. Jackson
Speaker 4: went on to say Watson's accuracy beyond ten yards in
Speaker 4: camp has been extremely iffy. Uh oh, DeShawn Wattson? Has
Speaker 4: it been good since twenty twenty? It has been wild?
Speaker 1: This is just a player. You don't like this, you
Speaker 1: know the we want players you do like. I liked
Speaker 1: him at Clemson Draft. I liked them at CLEBS. I
Speaker 1: want players you like now he's well.
Speaker 4: Draft Deshaun Watson in the ADP is eighty second. That's
Speaker 4: that we're fading hard at ADP. Brian, tell me the
Speaker 4: quarterback you love, but the ADP you hate?
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if you.
Speaker 5: I guess can you love a player that has no
Speaker 5: sample size in the NFL?
Speaker 1: But yeah, sure?
Speaker 5: Do you just project to somebody that it's Anthony Richardson
Speaker 5: who could break fantasy football? And he looks like he's
Speaker 5: gonna be a ton of fun. But at QB eleven
Speaker 5: pick one hundred overall, even though he's gonna be the
Speaker 5: Week one starter now, which I didn't think he would
Speaker 5: be a month or two ago, or even like five
Speaker 5: days ago. I thought they would least roll out Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 5: I'm still very wary of Richardson at this ADP of
Speaker 5: QB eleven overall. I get his ceiling is a mile high,
Speaker 5: but will he come close to it as a rookie.
Speaker 5: I don't want to pay that price tag to find
Speaker 5: out the hard way that he doesn't. So I'm out
Speaker 5: on Richardson at this ADP in a vacuum.
Speaker 1: As a mobile quarterback that I don't have to pay
Speaker 1: for pay a high price tag for Sam Howell.
Speaker 3: There you go, right top ten quarterback, right.
Speaker 1: About top ten. We'll find out I can't set out
Speaker 1: earlier Peacock that I can't peacock it yet. It's we're
Speaker 1: not even one yet. I am not in Peacock territory
Speaker 1: with my Sam Howell prediction yet. The player I love,
Speaker 1: the quarterback I love but hate the ADP is Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1: I means, obviously a great quarterback and you could be
Speaker 1: the MVP of the league. And I wouldn't be surprised,
Speaker 1: but I hate his landing spot, which is the end
Speaker 1: of round three, because here's where I'm at. I can
Speaker 1: get all these great mobile quarterbacks who can also pass,
Speaker 1: or I can get Patrick Mahomes early. I want to
Speaker 1: take that next tier, which for me is Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: and Trevor Lawrence. I got to pay end of round three,
Speaker 1: but end of round three to me, I can get
Speaker 1: other players who I'm really really high on. I can
Speaker 1: get Chris Olave, I can get Devonte Smith, I can
Speaker 1: get Jaylen Wattle, I can get t Higgins, I can
Speaker 1: get DK metcalf As just the receivers. There's so many
Speaker 1: great players there. I can't take a non mobile quarterback
Speaker 1: as high as round three. So as much as I
Speaker 1: love Joe Burrow and would be happy to have him
Speaker 1: on my team, end of round three for a quarterback
Speaker 1: who's not gonna run in touchdowns, can't do it. It's
Speaker 1: just too high. I can find other passing quarterbacks. Let's
Speaker 1: go to the running back position, or give me a
Speaker 1: running back you love but don't want the ADP. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna play by the rules this time, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Exs up. I'm gonna get that.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give you too this time, both top forty
Speaker 4: ADPs Travis Etn and Kenneth Walker, And I think you're
Speaker 4: gonna agree with me on both of these. The So
Speaker 4: with et And he's thirtieth, and ADP with Walker he's
Speaker 4: thirty eight.
Speaker 1: Those ADPs, they assume that.
Speaker 4: Both those guys are going to be undisputed starters and
Speaker 4: they're gonna get like the whole market share whatever.
Speaker 1: But I don't think they are right. Like with Etn,
Speaker 1: they bring in Tank, our boy charge.
Speaker 4: Tank takes me baby, exactly, and then with with Walker, it's, uh.
Speaker 1: It takes a little bit loud. I gotta think twice
Speaker 1: about playing the tank sounder.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's charbonnet right, And I think both those
Speaker 4: rookies are going to be cutting into the workloads of
Speaker 4: both their guys. So I think those ADPs are both inflated.
Speaker 4: All right, Brian, who's the running back you love but
Speaker 4: hate the ADP?
Speaker 3: It's Derrick Henry And who doesn't love King Henry?
Speaker 5: A running back unlike any we've seen basically running back,
Speaker 5: But right now RB seven twenty first pick overall, so
Speaker 5: that's the late second he's twenty nine years old and
Speaker 5: two hundred and twenty six days on top of those
Speaker 5: twenty nine years.
Speaker 3: Yes, you start counting.
Speaker 5: The days with running backs in their late twenties. I
Speaker 5: don't think there's a lot of tread left on King
Speaker 5: Henry's tires. I could be wrong, but I'm just going
Speaker 5: to mitigate all risk here because that cliff, unfortunately is
Speaker 5: going to come soon for Henry. And also really like
Speaker 5: ty J Spears rookie running back. It was arguably the
Speaker 5: best backup running back the Titans have had in Derrick
Speaker 5: Henry's tenure, well in Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Since Derrick Henry was the backup?
Speaker 6: Correct?
Speaker 1: Did he? Who is he playing behind somebody for.
Speaker 3: Two years trying?
Speaker 5: Yeah, they didn't give him a ton of run as
Speaker 5: first two years, which if they did, his career probably
Speaker 5: would be over right now. But yeah, I'm just remembering
Speaker 5: that one picture where it was him and then the
Speaker 5: other guy and he was like twice a bit, and
Speaker 5: I remember, I'll look it.
Speaker 3: Up while you go charge.
Speaker 1: His high school footage is so fun, man, if you
Speaker 1: haven't looked up Derrick Henry in high school, and just
Speaker 1: because he's built not dissimilarly to how he's built now,
Speaker 1: and he got all of these high schoolers just bouncing
Speaker 1: off of him. It was absurd. It was fulklore. It
Speaker 1: really was. How many yard do you remember like his
Speaker 1: high school yardage numbers? Because they were sick ridiculous. They're
Speaker 1: playing like eight games.
Speaker 4: How would you tackle? How would you just get out
Speaker 4: of the way? Oh for sure, freight train.
Speaker 1: You know what I would do if he were I'm playing,
Speaker 1: I'm playing strong safety at height at the high school level,
Speaker 1: and here comes Derrick Henry. I would just soil him
Speaker 1: right there. I would even move. I just wet myself
Speaker 1: right down the spot. I would take a quote unquote
Speaker 1: bad angle. I like that sound to that. Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: is the player I love but hate his ADP. He's
Speaker 1: running back sixteen going off the board in round four.
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones is a very good player, and if for
Speaker 1: up to me, he'd be the workhorse on some other team.
Speaker 1: But he just he just isn't going to be that.
Speaker 1: We know AJ Dylan is there and AJ Dillon gets
Speaker 1: a lot of work. Last year, do you guys know
Speaker 1: what the timeshare split in terms of snap count between
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon? It was just fifty four
Speaker 1: forty six. That's it, fifty four to forty six. I
Speaker 1: mean it is almost dead even between these guys. To me,
Speaker 1: that's lethal at round four for Aaron Jones and he
Speaker 1: doesn't get goal line carries. Just two rushing touchdowns all
Speaker 1: of last year for Aaron Jones. It's to me, that's
Speaker 1: just too high of a price to pay for somebody
Speaker 1: who's given up half of the half of the yardage,
Speaker 1: half of the workload.
Speaker 5: Brian, it was Dion Lewis. Listeners can't see if there's
Speaker 5: a victory. If it looks like Derek, it's like it's
Speaker 5: like bring your son to work day.
Speaker 1: It does look just like that. Now, answer this from me.
Speaker 1: You might have to do a little bit of digging
Speaker 1: and maybe you can do it. Maybe I don't know
Speaker 1: if you can do it in segment or not. But
Speaker 1: who is he playing behind for those first couple of years.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll get to that.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't remember, and it's bothering me.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the wide receiver.
Speaker 4: Love, but the ADP that you hate thor Deebo Samuel.
Speaker 4: For me, I love Deebo as a player, but people
Speaker 4: so his ADP is fortieth overall, people are taking him
Speaker 4: like he's a high end wide receiver too. He didn't
Speaker 4: produce like that. After the forty nine Ers acquired Christian McCaffrey,
Speaker 4: the it dropped his aid dot. They stopped using him
Speaker 4: on the gadget stuff and different stuff like that. They
Speaker 4: also stopped using him in the red zone as much.
Speaker 4: So now, Deebo, he's basically like this hollow PPR wide
Speaker 4: receiver on a run first team. The ADP is super
Speaker 4: duper inflated. Obviously, they still got McCaffrey, so I'm out
Speaker 4: on him.
Speaker 1: Yeap, Deebo. Samuel Bryant, who is the wide receiver you
Speaker 1: love but the ADP you hate?
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 5: Well, twenty sixteen we should have known this. It was
Speaker 5: DeMarco Murray.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and.
Speaker 5: Seventeen it might have been the same story. But all right,
Speaker 5: let me let me go back to my my actual
Speaker 5: note too, wide receiver. Who did you say thor? I
Speaker 5: was even paying to Deebok. I'm staying in the same division,
Speaker 5: but a different team. I got DK metcalf. He got
Speaker 5: to look DK. He's a beast and I saw him.
Speaker 5: He had a monster game against the forty nine ers
Speaker 5: in the playoffs ten catches, one hundred and thirty six yards,
Speaker 5: two touchdowns.
Speaker 3: We watched that game together, thor At Kipps. That's shoutout,
Speaker 3: shout out kIPS. Yeah, we were on a date.
Speaker 5: But wide receiver sixteen pick twenty nine overall for DK
Speaker 5: just too much competition now with the addition of Jackson
Speaker 5: Smith and Jigba Tyler Lockett still there. Of course, gotta
Speaker 5: love DK, but I don't think he's going to get
Speaker 5: the target share.
Speaker 3: To pay off that ADP.
Speaker 1: Yeah, interesting that. You know, we don't coordinate this stuff
Speaker 1: ahead of time, and so if we both fall into
Speaker 1: the same player, I think that's pretty telling. And I
Speaker 1: also had Deebo Samuel the round four ADP. You know,
Speaker 1: we love that he's a highlight machine. We love that
Speaker 1: he because he's so special after the catch. But his
Speaker 1: average depth of target, which you alluded to four point
Speaker 1: three yards, that's nothing. It's the worst in the NFL
Speaker 1: by among all wide receivers. And his share of the
Speaker 1: team's air yards eleven percent. To give you a sense
Speaker 1: of how bad that share of air yards is. The
Speaker 1: guys that are sitting at like forty percent. That's fantasy
Speaker 1: goal that's DeVante Adams, that's DJ Moore, AJ Brown, Tyreek Hill,
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. Those guys are forty percent. When your air
Speaker 1: yards is sitting at eleven percent. It's just too hard.
Speaker 1: And that's what Deebo Samuels too many mouse defeat. Now, well,
Speaker 1: there's that too, right. And you know when you're throwing
Speaker 1: short passes all the time at our near the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, you can only be so special to turn
Speaker 1: that into fantasy production for sure. All right, let's go
Speaker 1: to the tight end you love, but the ADP you
Speaker 1: hate thor.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with Dalton Schultz on this one. So
Speaker 4: the last three years when he was with the Cowboys,
Speaker 4: he averaged sixty six, six hundred and sixty six and
Speaker 4: six receiving line each season. So he goes to Houston.
Speaker 4: Now he's not an elite athlete. Camp reports say that
Speaker 4: c J. Stroud has been targeting his wide receivers a
Speaker 4: bunch of like Tank Tallis, specifically even Xavier Hutchinson, the
Speaker 4: seventh rounder. Well, this is what c J. Scroud did
Speaker 4: throughout his career at Ohio State. He worked with a
Speaker 4: couple of NFL tight ends. The last couple of years.
Speaker 4: Kate Stiver, he not there yet, but Kate's over last
Speaker 4: year thirty six four US six five year before, Jeremy
Speaker 4: Rutgert only at twenty six catch as he didn't target
Speaker 4: the tight ends so much. And mister Dalton Schultz is
Speaker 4: not a great athlete and he's not like a super
Speaker 4: skilled guy. I don't think Dalton like he's tight end
Speaker 4: twelve in the ADP. He ain't gonna finish even close
Speaker 4: to that. Fade Dalton Schultz.
Speaker 1: Okay, Brian, the tight end you love, the ADP you hate.
Speaker 5: Back to the plethora of mouths to feed in San Francisco.
Speaker 5: I've got George Kittle right now, tight end four sixty
Speaker 5: third overall, hasn't played a full season since twenty eighteen.
Speaker 5: He did score eleven touchdowns last year. He had seven
Speaker 5: in the final four games.
Speaker 1: It was all at the end, at which point you're
Speaker 1: probably out of the playoffs yet George kittleks he only
Speaker 1: had four touchdowns before the middle of December.
Speaker 3: Right and his non spike weeks, and they are a
Speaker 3: fair amount of him. They were brutal. So I'm out
Speaker 3: on Kittle at this price.
Speaker 5: You gotta love him as a tight end, just an
Speaker 5: overall football player, a ton of fun. He's a manimal
Speaker 5: but tight end four, No thanks. There are plenty of
Speaker 5: sleepert tight end kennet candidates I love out there, Gerald
Speaker 5: Everett being one of them.
Speaker 1: J I also had George Kittle. So we've doubled up
Speaker 1: again here, and for many of the same reasons. Too
Speaker 1: many dud games. Get this. Half of George Kittle's games
Speaker 1: last year he failed to top twenty nine yards in
Speaker 1: half his games. In eleven of his fifteen games he
Speaker 1: did not top four catches. Too many dud games from
Speaker 1: George Kittle. Plus, as you mentioned, he misses time every year,
Speaker 1: and even when he's not missing time, questionable, questionable, questionable. God,
Speaker 1: I hate rolling into Sundays wondering whether or not my
Speaker 1: tight end's going to play because I don't got two
Speaker 1: good tight ends on my roster in all probability. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's it. George Kittle my choice here as well
Speaker 1: for the player that I love, but the ADP I
Speaker 1: won't pay when we come back. Final segment of the show.
Speaker 1: Already here, man, these are blacklist players. These are players
Speaker 1: we don't love, and we're.
Speaker 3: Not paying the ADP.
Speaker 1: Or maybe even not any ADP maybe guys that we
Speaker 1: wouldn't draft under any real your realistic scenario. Are blacklist
Speaker 1: players coming up as well.
Speaker 3: We're gonna paddle four too on air right your.
Speaker 1: Initiation, Yeah, spanking Machine four. We'll also give you our
Speaker 1: sleepers of the week when we return for the final
Speaker 1: segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. Final segment Fantasy Football Weekly,
Speaker 1: Paul Charchie and Brian Johnson Thorne Eystrom with you can
Speaker 1: get all my cheat sheets available at Guillotine leagues dot com.
Speaker 1: We encourage you to check that out as well as
Speaker 1: joining a Gullotine league while you're there. Been hearing me
Speaker 1: talk about it for four seasons now. It is the fun,
Speaker 1: freshest way to play fantasy football season long fantasy football,
Speaker 1: for sure. This segment is similar to the last segment,
Speaker 1: but different. We call it the Blacklist Players. The last
Speaker 1: segment was players we like. We just don't want to
Speaker 1: pay the ADP on players who we generally like these are,
Speaker 1: and we would.
Speaker 3: Draft those players if they slip past.
Speaker 1: Them, that's right, exactly. But these guys or guys who
Speaker 1: are just basically out on and they would have to fall,
Speaker 1: you know, way way on ADP before you'd even consider
Speaker 1: these guys. So these are players that are way off radar.
Speaker 1: We begin at the quarterback position and thorn eistrom.
Speaker 4: I'm going Aaron Rodgers here. Oh boy, is there a
Speaker 4: lot of Russell Wilson parallels for me? Hard knock country.
Speaker 4: Let's ride the pr campaign going on for him every
Speaker 4: week on HBO.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's getting a little much for thor. I would say, Rogers,
Speaker 1: do you just refer to yourself in the third person?
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 1: I figured i'd get that out of the way on
Speaker 1: the first show. Thank you, Rogers.
Speaker 4: Stunt lash year is the world's biggest fork sticking out
Speaker 4: of his back right now. I think he's done. I
Speaker 4: don't know what people you know are seeing with him
Speaker 4: right now. I think this is going to end a disaster.
Speaker 4: I don't want any part of Aaron Rodgers QB fifteen
Speaker 4: get out of here.
Speaker 1: So your take is basically, you want to get out
Speaker 1: a year early than a year late. Yeah, and last
Speaker 1: year might have been the year to get out. He
Speaker 1: already done in my opinion. Yeah, I think that trade
Speaker 1: was a big mistake for the Jets, not Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: Big can't be that big.
Speaker 5: Right, Wow, yeah, Well, how many toilets does Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 5: have in his house?
Speaker 1: That's a great question.
Speaker 3: We don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, how can I properly evaluate his opportunities until
Speaker 1: I know how many toilets Aaron Rodgers has got? All right, Brian,
Speaker 1: give me your blacklist quarterback.
Speaker 5: This guy's not super expensive in terms of ADP, but
Speaker 5: I have no interest in drafting him, just totally avoiding
Speaker 5: him at all costs. And it's now a New Orleans Saint.
Speaker 5: Derek Carr quarterback nineteen. I'm intrigued by the weapons in
Speaker 5: New Orleans. Crystal Lave budding superstar. Of course, if Mike
Speaker 5: Michael Thomas can stay healthy, I'm intrigued here we and
Speaker 5: and Rashid she like him. Jawan Johnson looks like a
Speaker 5: nice tight end. Alvin Kamara when he comes back, if
Speaker 5: he can return to form. Kendre Miller intriguing rookie prospect.
Speaker 5: But I'm just out on Derek Carr. He's just so
Speaker 5: very blot to me. He's Emo Andy Dalton, right, That's
Speaker 5: what we dubbed him.
Speaker 1: That's right, last show. He's Emo Andy Dalton.
Speaker 5: And again Taysom Hill is there to muck up everything
Speaker 5: in the red zone. We're gonna see Taysom Hill come
Speaker 5: in for Derek Carr at times in the red zone,
Speaker 5: and I'm just not into Car at all. There are
Speaker 5: quarterbacks going after him who I'm far more interested in,
Speaker 5: like guys like Jordan Love Howel, Sam Howell's on the list,
Speaker 5: Matt Stafford, Kenny Pickett just would much. I've taken those
Speaker 5: guys over Derek Carr ten out of ten times.
Speaker 1: Thort alluded to my blacklist player already earlier in the show.
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson troubling at his high adp here. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: was a fat top five fantasy quarterback in twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, twenty twenty. That's a long time ago. This
Speaker 1: is his seventh year. What if Deshaun Watson isn't a
Speaker 1: runner anymore and they didn't they didn't draw up designed
Speaker 1: runs for him in Cleveland last year. What if he's
Speaker 1: not a runner now? We got to rely just on
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's arm. Even during his heyday for Deshaun Watson,
Speaker 1: that twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty years, he passed
Speaker 1: for twenty six touchdowns twenty six touchdowns thirty three touchdowns.
Speaker 1: That is that's Derek carr If. I got to rely
Speaker 1: on his arm. That's all I'm getting. Shawn Watson right
Speaker 1: now doesn't even look the way training his terrible training
Speaker 1: cap is going. He doesn't even look like the best
Speaker 1: quarterback on roster right now. We'll see how this lands
Speaker 1: out for Deshaun Watson. They got to play him. Shoutouts
Speaker 1: to playtr and when you're making DTR Yeah, when you
Speaker 1: when you're making a quarter billion dollars, guaranteed, they got
Speaker 1: to play him no matter what. So they'll go down.
Speaker 1: The ship will go down with Deshaun Watson, and it
Speaker 1: might Yeah, let's go to the running back position, your
Speaker 1: blacklist player thor Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 4: The Colts are tanking right now pretty overtly, and they
Speaker 4: have zero incentive to play Jonathan Taylor. I think there's
Speaker 4: a bigger chance than people think that Jonathan Taylor does
Speaker 4: not play one singular snap for the Colts this season.
Speaker 1: We're at an.
Speaker 4: Impass, hard pass on Jonathan Taylor. Do not buy the
Speaker 4: depth by Evan Hall everywhere by Evan Hall. Just use
Speaker 4: a draft slot laid on Evan Hall.
Speaker 1: Break down Evan Hall for people that you're so good
Speaker 1: with it with rookies. Breakdown Evan Hall for people who
Speaker 1: aren't familiar.
Speaker 4: If Evan Hall had played in the SEC, he would
Speaker 4: have gone at least two rounds higher. Evan Hall his
Speaker 4: testing profile was extremely similar to B. Jean Robinson Jeez,
Speaker 4: and he had, like his receiving numbers were very similar
Speaker 4: as well. Like you look at like the his snap
Speaker 4: distribution out of the slot, his snap distribution out of
Speaker 4: the boundary, his receptions, his receiving yards, everything like that
Speaker 4: was fabulous for Evanhall. Interests that he played at Northwestern,
Speaker 4: so every time he was handed the ball, he was
Speaker 4: confronted by three guys behind the line of scrimmage. You
Speaker 4: just didn't get to see him as much with that
Speaker 4: different stuff. But his vision is very good in part
Speaker 4: because he had to develop it because he was constantly
Speaker 4: confronted with guys there and then Northwestern guy, you know,
Speaker 4: very creative with his usage, you know, putting him out
Speaker 4: in the slot, putting him on why, different stuff like that,
Speaker 4: just trying to get him the ball.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 4: Again, because the offensive line outside of Peter Skronsky, the
Speaker 4: one other good guy they had on offense, was so
Speaker 4: bad I'm a big, big fan of Evan Hall's game,
Speaker 4: and I think they're gonna get him on the field
Speaker 4: immediately because I don't think Jardedthan Taylor is going.
Speaker 1: To be on that teap.
Speaker 5: People can't see this, but he just that's just all
Speaker 5: came right off the top of Thor's head, which are
Speaker 5: pretty impressive. Normally were reading notes, but not there.
Speaker 1: Let's go to your blacklist running back, Brian.
Speaker 5: He did fail to call him the incredible hole though.
Speaker 5: You got to work on that, Thord to the note.
Speaker 5: Since then, all right, I've been out on this guy
Speaker 5: all off season and I remain out, even though there's
Speaker 5: been some encouraging news and videos servicing of Breese Hall,
Speaker 5: who's been taking off the pup list. There's some training
Speaker 5: camp pipe videos of him running very fast and a
Speaker 5: straight line, but coming off major knee injury, you can't
Speaker 5: just run fast in a straight line. You need to cut,
Speaker 5: you need to juke. I do not think he's gonna
Speaker 5: be there this year. He's playing, He's in the most
Speaker 5: crowded running back room in the NFL right now with
Speaker 5: the edition of Dalvin Cook, and right now he's RB thirteen.
Speaker 5: That's after the slide. I think the ADP is gonna
Speaker 5: rise now that he's been activated off the pup and
Speaker 5: people have seen him run fast, but he's not going
Speaker 5: to pay off that ADP. It's a hill I'm gonna
Speaker 5: die on. I'm still out on Priest Hall entirely at
Speaker 5: this incredibly bloated price for someone coming off major knee injury.
Speaker 5: Not even it's less than a year removed, so I'm
Speaker 5: just not buying into it.
Speaker 1: Breese Hall are running back thirteen. My blacklist running back
Speaker 1: is running back twelve Travis Etn. Already We've mentioned to him.
Speaker 1: We've mentioned him already in this show, but also numerous
Speaker 1: times in our offseason shows as well. And I will
Speaker 1: again reiterate my case against Travis Etn. Number one, Tank Bigsby,
Speaker 1: really really good player. Number two Travis Etn is not
Speaker 1: a goal line back. They tried him at the goal
Speaker 1: line las Ye because they didn't have any options. He
Speaker 1: was no good there. He's gonna continue what. I don't
Speaker 1: even think they're gonna give him the ball. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be Tank Bigsby getting that. They only threw to him
Speaker 1: at an average of two receptions eighteen yards last year.
Speaker 1: Travis Etn's past catching ability has been overrated in the
Speaker 1: minds of many tank Maybe the better receiver straight up
Speaker 1: think he's gonna deaf, He's gonna have nothing else eat
Speaker 1: into any receptions Travis Etn would have gotten, and so
Speaker 1: really that just leaves you the non scoring fantasy parts
Speaker 1: for a running back, which is just yards that doesn't
Speaker 1: bat up for the twelfth running back in the draft.
Speaker 1: Travis Etn out, let's go to our wide receivers, your
Speaker 1: blacklist receiver.
Speaker 4: Or totally agree on that take charge you the wide receiver.
Speaker 4: Kadarius Tony. I wouldn't touch Kadarius Tony with a ten
Speaker 4: foot Paul. I wouldn't draft him with one of Brian's
Speaker 4: draft picks.
Speaker 3: He is.
Speaker 4: Kadarius Tony is a manufactured touch gadget player who doesn't
Speaker 4: win downfield.
Speaker 1: He can't win in traffic. He has if he hands,
Speaker 1: he has durability.
Speaker 4: Issues in related new He's going to be an active
Speaker 4: for a second straight preseason game this weekend, but don't
Speaker 4: let his injury woes off escape from the fact that
Speaker 4: when he's on the field, he's severely overhyped, not a
Speaker 4: good player, like all he can do is move that's it,
Speaker 4: but you have to manufacture that touches for him. He
Speaker 4: never going to turn into the difference maker that people
Speaker 4: want him to be. I'm out on him. The guys
Speaker 4: that I want there, I want Sky Moore. I would
Speaker 4: even Justin Ross. If Justin Ross stays, you know, like
Speaker 4: healthy on the field, He's a better player than Kadarius Tony.
Speaker 4: The other guy that I really like is Rashie Rice. Oh, rookie,
Speaker 4: Rashie Rice is going to produce immediately. So Raschie Rice
Speaker 4: really interesting player. He's a shade under six to one.
Speaker 4: He's six foot in five eighths two to oh four
Speaker 4: but tested in the ninety seventh percentile and his wingspan
Speaker 4: six foot four.
Speaker 1: Geez.
Speaker 4: And this was a guy that one downfield consistently at
Speaker 4: SIM he actually won at all three levels. He had
Speaker 4: three and fifty two targets over four seasons at SMU.
Speaker 4: Twenty percent of his targets during that time came twenty
Speaker 4: plus yards downfield. This guy can do a whole bunch
Speaker 4: of different things. I think Mahomes is gonna really like
Speaker 4: working with him. He has a basketball background and you
Speaker 4: can see that when he goes downfield. He's one of
Speaker 4: those guys that extends up and he can play through contact.
Speaker 4: Guys try to come through his back that they certainly
Speaker 4: did in the AAC. When he's playing at SMU doesn't
Speaker 4: lose his concentration like a four to five kid. Whatever
Speaker 4: goes up and rebounds the ball. I'm a big fan
Speaker 4: of his game. I think he plays immediately.
Speaker 1: Rashie Rice is gonna is he for this year? I'm
Speaker 1: in a redraft league, not talking Dynasty or Empire. What
Speaker 1: do you expect this season? I think he plays right away.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And in that sort of wide open Kansas City
Speaker 4: receiver room, they need a boundary receiver, especially one that
Speaker 4: can make plays downfield, working with Mahomes, those extended plays whatnot.
Speaker 4: That's what Rashee Rice does. So like, I think Rashid
Speaker 4: Rice plays right away. And when you're talking about like
Speaker 4: all these other like people try to talk themselves into
Speaker 4: all these various Kansas City wide receivers.
Speaker 1: I don't need to be talked into Rashid Rice.
Speaker 4: This kid did it right away at ASM you from
Speaker 4: day one, and then did it over the course of
Speaker 4: four years. He would getting over one hundred targets per
Speaker 4: season and dominate in the AAC Like I said, all right,
Speaker 4: Mahome's gonna love working with him. I compared him to
Speaker 4: Nate burlesson coming out, very very similar measurables. He gonna
Speaker 4: handle targets and usage right away. I think you're going
Speaker 4: to excel there.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to your blacklist wide receiver, Brian.
Speaker 5: This guy is going right after Kadarius Tony in ADP
Speaker 5: and someone I'm avoiding at all costs. It's Jamison Williams
Speaker 5: of Detroit, who mentioned earlier he's heard his hamstring so
Speaker 5: he's out for the rest of the preseason.
Speaker 3: That doesn't matter.
Speaker 5: He's going to miss the first six games of the
Speaker 5: season serving his suspension. You'll get him for two games
Speaker 5: when he comes back. Then they had their bye in
Speaker 5: week nine, so the first nine games you're getting two
Speaker 5: weeks of James and Williams.
Speaker 1: No, I can't do that.
Speaker 5: It's not worth the stat Right after, and speaking of
Speaker 5: not worth the stash, I'm rocking a pretty nice stash
Speaker 5: that is worth rocking right now, which.
Speaker 3: People could see it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it charged you like it, you trust you complimented
Speaker 5: me on it earlier. But right after James and Williams
Speaker 5: is going in drafts is Odell Beckham, who in my
Speaker 5: peacock off I said he's gonna get a top twenty.
Speaker 3: Four wide receiver this year.
Speaker 5: So I'll take Odell every time over Williams and other
Speaker 5: guys LA going later. Jacoby Myers went very high on
Speaker 5: so just I don't get James and Williams going almost
Speaker 5: inside the top one hundred players. Right now, we're gonna
Speaker 5: get two games at best in the first nine weeks
Speaker 5: of the season.
Speaker 1: I'm tempted to change my blacklist wide receiver to Odell
Speaker 1: Beckham right now, but I'm gonna go trailing Burks and
Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with his current injury because
Speaker 1: he's going to come back close to Week one anyway,
Speaker 1: currently going off the board at wide receiver forty. The
Speaker 1: real issue here is Tennessee just doesn't pass enough. You know,
Speaker 1: they had the fifth lowest passing play percentage last year,
Speaker 1: the second lowest the year before that. And b John Robinson. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's gonna help the whole offense all together, which is great,
Speaker 1: but he's also going to soak up what fifty sixty
Speaker 1: seventy receptions by himself. And then there's DeAndre Hopkins, who
Speaker 1: likely has got another year left on him. Mike Rabel
Speaker 1: has never gotten fantasy production from a second wide out ever,
Speaker 1: and often, by the way, not a first wide out.
Speaker 1: If we go through the Verbel era, the best receiver
Speaker 1: he's ever had, AJ Brown, barely crept over the one
Speaker 1: thousand yard mark. That's it. He's never been able to
Speaker 1: get production out of a number two receiver. And that's
Speaker 1: what Trailon Burks is going to be, and that's why
Speaker 1: he's my blacklist receiver. Let's go to the tight end position,
Speaker 1: thor who you got is your blacklist tight end.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with IRV Smith, Who's tight end nineteen
Speaker 4: in the adp IRV l Busto. In my twenty twenty
Speaker 4: one pre draft rankings, I ranked IRV tight end five
Speaker 4: and number ninety eight overall. I was looking, you know,
Speaker 4: Arifasan does that Consentive's big board every single year.
Speaker 1: He wrote in his I went back and I looked
Speaker 1: at it.
Speaker 4: He wrote in that column that I had IRV quote
Speaker 4: unquote remarkably low, because IRV that year was number thirty
Speaker 4: nine and tight end three, and the kids sends the board.
Speaker 4: I had him, you know, ninety eight at tight end five.
Speaker 4: Like I said, he's an NFL tweener. He's small, he
Speaker 4: doesn't change directions very well, he's not a natural hands catcher,
Speaker 4: and he doesn't move east to west. He also can't
Speaker 4: block in line, and then he has a durability concerns.
Speaker 4: Every single year. You hear people in August be like, Oh,
Speaker 4: if Irv just stays on the field, he's going to
Speaker 4: break out this year. Well, you can't put him in line,
Speaker 4: and he can't. He's not gonna stay healthy anyway. And
Speaker 4: then you can't do a whole bunch of things with
Speaker 4: him in the passing game because it's just north South stuff,
Speaker 4: and he's always has to be a tertiary option in
Speaker 4: the passing game even when he's on the field. I
Speaker 4: don't get the whole Irv Smith thing. Cincinnati should have
Speaker 4: used probably their first round pick on a tight end.
Speaker 4: I get why they were sort of skittish about Mayor,
Speaker 4: but they probably should have moved up for Delton Cacata.
Speaker 1: For being honest, I'm out, totally out on Irv's meith.
Speaker 1: I think that almost goes saying he's my wife, my
Speaker 1: tight end thirty three. That's correct, that's right. FA wouldn't
Speaker 1: agree more. Ah, your blacklist tight end Brian.
Speaker 5: Mine is Greg Dolcich right now, tight end thirteen, and
Speaker 5: that is preposterous considering he's not even the starting tight
Speaker 5: end right now. That's Adam Trautman, who, by the way,
Speaker 5: is a Sean Payton guy. So Greg Dolcic at tight
Speaker 5: end thirteen, no out entirely.
Speaker 1: All right, easy, it's easy.
Speaker 5: I'll take Jerald Everett around later every day, all day,
Speaker 5: every day.
Speaker 3: Jerald Evertt. Baby.
Speaker 1: Cole Comett's got a bunch of steam because he finished
Speaker 1: okay last year. But let's remember he was zero touchdowns
Speaker 1: two years ago, and then last year he did absolutely
Speaker 1: nothing in the first half of the season, I mean,
Speaker 1: complete disaster, killing fantasy owners who had gambled on him.
Speaker 1: Then in the second half of last year it started
Speaker 1: to click and he scored seven times. But here's the
Speaker 1: weird thing that's masking the fact that he had fewer targets,
Speaker 1: fewer receptions, and fewer yards and he had the previous
Speaker 1: when he had no touchdowns. Rashawn Johnson and Justin Fields
Speaker 1: are going to be potent goal line vultures that could
Speaker 1: take away touchdown totals from Cole Comet, and while DJ
Speaker 1: Moore is ultimately going to help the totality of this offense,
Speaker 1: that may take away some opportunities as well. For cole Comet.
Speaker 1: I hate guys that have the potential to give me
Speaker 1: like zero catch games, one catch games, two catch games.
Speaker 1: That's cole Comet in a nutshell right there. So that
Speaker 1: part worries me. Let's transition to our Sleepers of the week.
Speaker 1: We give out one sleeper every week beginning here thor
Speaker 1: who is your sleeper this week? Sleeper for like preseason?
Speaker 1: No to draft? Oh, can Brian start this time?
Speaker 5: Sure?
Speaker 1: Brian Sleeper of the week? Who you got?
Speaker 5: I'm going to Kyrin Williams, running back for the Rams
Speaker 5: in his second year. Last year, Williams was injured in
Speaker 5: the season opener and was inactive until mid November. As
Speaker 5: a result, finished with just thirty nine rushing attempts at
Speaker 5: nine catches, so he was a nobody.
Speaker 3: No one really knows.
Speaker 5: Who he is until recently, drafters are finally getting in right.
Speaker 5: Everyone was drafting rookie Zach Evans instead of Kyrien Williams's
Speaker 5: cam Akers, backup, handcuffever, whatever you want to call it,
Speaker 5: but Williams was drafted in the fifth round of the
Speaker 5: twenty twenty two NFL Draft. Evans was drafted in the
Speaker 5: sixth round this year, so more draft capital was put
Speaker 5: into Williams. And Williams was a beast in his final
Speaker 5: season at Notre Dame as a junior, so he declared early,
Speaker 5: totaling thirteen hundred plus combo yards and seventeen touchdowns.
Speaker 3: With the Irish.
Speaker 5: So he was an elite pass catcher primarily, and they're
Speaker 5: going to use Williams as a pass catcher in LA
Speaker 5: that he's going to play like a very James White
Speaker 5: type role for Sean McVay, who comes from the Patriots system.
Speaker 5: If you recall James White, he was target He was
Speaker 5: like top ten among in targets among all players in
Speaker 5: its prime. And if something were to happen to Akers,
Speaker 5: Williams is going to be the starter. It's not Evans.
Speaker 5: So I love Kyron Williams right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't now Williams. He has a right to
Speaker 1: get he has a right to get better in your
Speaker 1: two but I rostered that dude when Cam Akers torpedoed
Speaker 1: last year. I rostered that dude and tried to get
Speaker 1: some more value out of him, and watching him, I
Speaker 1: didn't see anything that made me feel like he was
Speaker 1: belonged in the NFL. So I'm nervous about Kyrien Williams.
Speaker 1: We'll see. I hope you're right and I'm wrong. My
Speaker 1: sleeper of the week is Indianapolis tight end Jelannie Woods.
Speaker 1: Going off the board, it picked three hundred and eleven
Speaker 1: tight end thirty eight. Now he's got a hamstring injury
Speaker 1: that's keeping him out of training cap and that's further
Speaker 1: suppressing his value. But a reminder from last year's rookie
Speaker 1: year with Jilanni Woods. An insane athletic and specimen former quarterback,
Speaker 1: which seems very improbable considering he's six foot seven, two
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty pounds, massive mismatch for defenders. He's rangy,
Speaker 1: he gets opened down field. He's a good blocker, way
Speaker 1: more talent than Moali Cox and Kyle Ranson. I think
Speaker 1: he moves into the lead tight end spot early this year.
Speaker 1: Special athleticism for Jelannie Woods, and I feel like the
Speaker 1: breakout could be coming right here. He started put piecing
Speaker 1: together some big games at the end of last year.
Speaker 1: Jelanie Woods My breakout candidate at tight end going up
