Speaker 1: and I want to wish Fabsy happy birth. Yeah, thanks man,

43
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: But I'm sure the number one gift you wanted was

44
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: both Dac and Zeke to sign. You know what, though,

45
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: the gift I want more than any other Yankees World series. Yeah,

46
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: that's what I want because they because they've never done

47
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: that before. That not lately, although, so buddy of mine

48
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: was down in Cabo last week and texted me and

49
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: he's like, I'm at a place called I think it

50
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: was like the Diamante or something like that, and and

51
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: I guess who's sitting at the table next to me Zeke.

52
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, is he is he lifting weights? Is he

53
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: in good shape? He's doing he's like fourteen ounce curls probably.

54
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: I said, you know, go ahead and uh and introduce

55
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: yourself and tell him that a lot of our fantasy

56
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: football teams are, you know, awaiting his return. I'm sure

57
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna make him hurt. I know, yeah, man, So, uh, yeah,

58
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: that's you know what. There's uh, there's surprisingly very little

59
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: Zeke in today's show, but I'm sure something will happen

60
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: in the next few days and we'll have to talk

61
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: about it. In the meantime, let's do some news. Okay,

62
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: we gotta start with this because it is absolute comedy.

63
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: I do not care Antonio Brown. Okay, first, it was

64
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: funny enough when we thought he's gonna miss time potentially

65
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: because he had frost bite on his feet because he

66
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: didn't wear the proper footwear when he went to a

67
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: cryotherapy session like that, to me was sort of amusing

68
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: and just like, Okay, this is really weird. Now he's

69
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: unhappy about a helmet. In case you didn't see, Mike Silver,

70
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: our our colleague and friend here, I had a long

71
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: Twitter thread about what's going on with Antonio Brown. The

72
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: long and short of it is, the helmet he had

73
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: worn previously is no longer on the approved list by

74
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: the NFL. He had a one year grace peer before

75
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: he had to change. Now his helmet is no longer approved.

76
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: He will he will not be allowed to practice or

77
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: play and can be you know, be either fine or

78
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: go without pay h if he decides to wear this helmet. Now,

79
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: you know, guys like Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady also

80
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: have been forced to change their helmet. I'm sure they're

81
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: not thrilled about it, but they're going along with it.

82
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, in the meantime, says he will not play

83
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: in fact as intimator that he may retire if he

84
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: can't wear the helmet he wants he wants to uh

85
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: finally claim against the league. Whatever. Anyway, the longest short

86
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: of it is Antonio Brown is not in camp right now,

87
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: fabs and uh, I mean, we don't know how talented

88
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: he is, but at some point, like if we're gonna

89
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: spend a third round, second third round pick on him,

90
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: like I think we'd like to see him show up.

91
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: Remember what I said last week. I don't know why, Um,

92
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's it's you know, thirty one years old,

93
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: whether it's going from an offense that you know had

94
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: the most past attempts last season to the offense that

95
00:04:53,720 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: had the sixte um, whether it's Roethlisberger to car I

96
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: somewhere in the back of my mind, I'm concerned that

97
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: something bad is going to happen with Antonio Brown. And

98
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: statistically and this is just like and I'm not a

99
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: big fan of him, regardless, I think he's tremendous. He's

100
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: been a great fantasy wide receiver. He's been the fantasy

101
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver for the last you know, five seasons. But dude,

102
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: I mean, enough with the foolishness. I mean, you know,

103
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: the with with the frozen feet and now with the

104
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: helmet and threatening to retire. And I remember he had

105
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: done an interview with Jeff Darlington UM a little ways

106
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: back where he basically doesn't He says, I don't really

107
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: need football. I mean, like, you know, he talked about

108
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: how he bought his gigantic house in cash, and you know,

109
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: he's his own brand and he's an entrepreneur. When you

110
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: start hearing those things from a player, And now he's

111
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: holding out of camp for now. Maybe holding out it's

112
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: not the best the best term, but he's not in

113
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: camp right now because he doesn't want to wear the

114
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: NFL's league approved helmet. I mean, come on, dude, Like

115
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's come on. It's a bizarre situation. Um.

116
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: I'll say I was not drafting an Tonio Brown at

117
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: all before even this news came out. I mean, he's

118
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: been pretty low in my ranks all summer, where M

119
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: d um thirty two overall. I wouldn't I have not

120
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: spent what whats behind Adam feeling? I think I dropped

121
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: right now, No, I know, but for what it's worth,

122
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: I've had him there pretty much all summer just because

123
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: I I'm not a believer in Derek carr Um. He's

124
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: never ranked above Leak average and yards propose attempt. The

125
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: Raiders are not going to throw downfield as near as

126
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: much as Big Benden been. Big Ben has thrown deep

127
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: downfield at like the Leak's fifth highest clip for four

128
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: straight seasons, five straight seasons, um. And now we have

129
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: all these weird off the field concerns with a B

130
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: that have kind of lingered over from Pittsburgh into into Oakland.

131
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: Now it's just a situation like I'm just trying to avoid,

132
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: especially with so many good receivers that are on the

133
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: board near near his ADP t Y Hilton, Keenan Allen.

134
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: There's just so many good players that I'd just rather

135
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: have and I'm just not even trying to mess around

136
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: with it, especially that early. Yeah, And I think that's

137
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: kind of the thing is that right now, there's just

138
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: it's just it's kind of an unnecessary risk that early

139
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: in your draft. And I think that's that's going to

140
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: cause him to fall because people just don't kind of

141
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: want to deal with the headache of it all. Um,

142
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: I mean a couple of points on this one. Uh.

143
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: Will Brinson, who is great on Twitter if you don't

144
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: follow him, already, had a really funny tweet last week

145
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: says fantasy football is bordering on letting people draft. They quote,

146
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: you want to get nuts, Let's get the nuts combo

147
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: of Ezekiel, Elliott, Todd, Gurley, Melvin Gordon, Antonio Brown. Like,

148
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: but you just you just mentioned my first three Pickshall, Zeke, Gurley,

149
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: and Brown, Right, I mean, like it's one of those

150
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: things where like right now, it's kind of a scary group,

151
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: but like you know, if they all show up, like

152
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: that team blows up all of a sudden, Yeah, I'm

153
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: way less concerned about Zeke than these other guys. But yeah, yeah,

154
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean the other part of this is and and

155
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: this has nothing to do with fantasy I just kind

156
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: of watching the story and watching the reactions to it

157
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: sort of reminded me of how silly it is this

158
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: thing that we all do. Um, that like we we

159
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: invest so much emotionally into Like it's football, man, Like

160
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: it's funny, it's it's it's a game. But like I

161
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: get it, like I understand, like there's a lot of

162
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: It just made me laugh. Well, not only that, not

163
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: only is it a game, like it's a humbling game. Right,

164
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna get so much stuff wrong, right, be able

165
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: to not predict so many different happens every season, dude,

166
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: Like every single year, I'm gonna put out a column

167
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: at some point in the next couple of weeks um

168
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: with with a you know, ten stats that happened last

169
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: season that have no chance to happen again, you know,

170
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: And there's gonna be so much and it happens every

171
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: single season. We all know it. There's so much that

172
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: that happens every football season that no one predicted because

173
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: it was unpredictable, because the only thing predictable about the

174
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: NFL is that it's unpredictable. And we're gonna be looking

175
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: back and thinking, boy, we really blew that one. You know,

176
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: it happens every season. Like Antonio Brown right now, like

177
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: he's one of the biggest question marks in fantasy football.

178
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: And this is a guy who had been a first

179
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: round pick for what's the like forever forever now third

180
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: round final point here on the silver thing, the thing

181
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: that kind of caught my an most is not that

182
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: he's obviously shown up, not showing up right, like he's

183
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: not there. But when he has shown up, Silver said

184
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: he's like checking his phone during meetings Instagram. Honestly, like same.

185
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it's true, it's true, But Marcus, you're not

186
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: going out there trying to compete against NFL caliber athletes.

187
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you're in here. What's sitting next to me

188
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: every day? Right when when I'm when I'm sitting on set,

189
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: there's no safety trying to take my head off if

190
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily paying attention. You are correct on that.

191
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, So we'll keep an eye on this. I

192
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: will say right now. The biggest winners in this whole

193
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown deal HBO Yes, which was episode two of

194
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks tomorrow night. Um, Duke Johnson, he's free. At

195
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: least he's free of Cleveland. You know, he had been

196
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: saying that he wanted to be traded. He had spent

197
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: basically his whole career. They're kind of trying to fit

198
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: in and never really finding a role for himself, and

199
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: so the Brown Owns sort of kind of helped him

200
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: move along. They sent him to the Houston Texans one Graham.

201
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: Obviously this opens things up for Nick Chubb, but too,

202
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: I think the bigger question is what does this mean

203
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: in Houston for Duke and for Lamar Miller. Sure, I

204
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: think it definitely hurts Lamar Miller's floor and we were

205
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: kind of buying Lamar Miller as a floor player anyway. Um,

206
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson coming into stealing some targets is definitely not good. Um. Again,

207
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: this is a Texans team that does not throw to

208
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: the running backs. For whatever reason, Bill Bill O'Brien has

209
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: just refused to throw to his running backs. Refused to

210
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: make Deshaun Watson's life easier. Last year, the Texans through

211
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: to the running backs on first and second down on

212
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: just twelve percent of their past attempts. That was the

213
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: lowest clip in the NFL by far, I mean not

214
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: even close. Hopefully, Duke having Duke Johnson back there ups

215
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: that a little bit and we can kind of get

216
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: some PPR juice out of him. But I'm not really

217
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: convinced that O'Brien will know how to use Duke Johnson appropriately,

218
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: which we're back in the just had I moved I

219
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: moved Johnson into like the RB thirty five range. I

220
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: haven't all we updated my ranks, but I feel I

221
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: think that's right. Like eighth ninth round pick Miller is

222
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: like a six seventh round pick still. But I just

223
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: but Duke is viable now, like he wasn't really visable.

224
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: I felt like that's the point is, at least he's

225
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: viable now because we we're not entirely sure what his

226
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: role is gonna be. I'm not gonna sit here and

227
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: say I know what his role is going to be, um,

228
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: but at least he is viable. Yeah. And and in

229
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: terms of Lamar, I think when when Deonta got released,

230
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: we were thinking, well, then Miller's got a good shot

231
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: to retain the value he's had, right, I mean, uh, Ever,

232
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: since he's been with the Texans, he's never been worse

233
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: than RB twenty four. So in twelve team league, he's

234
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: always been an RB two, And we thought, well, flex starter,

235
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, pretty good flex starter in a ten team league.

236
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: But now that you bring Duke in and you decrease

237
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: the potential for Lamar to catch passes that Bill O'Brien's

238
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: not setting up in the first place for his running backs,

239
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: at least on early downs. For certain. For certain, Lamar's

240
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: now he's bordering on low end running back three. Yeah.

241
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: Even it's funny too, because once Foreman got released, I

242
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: think I felt like fantasies were. It was sort of

243
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: like something's going to happen, you know, I just didn't.

244
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 1: I don't think people believe that they were going to

245
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: go into the season with just Lamar Miller as they're

246
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: running back. I mean I saw some wild things about

247
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: maybe they trade from Melvin Gordon. I didn't buy that.

248
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't finding that one. I will say, I mean,

249
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: the compensation of the trade dictates to me at least

250
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be at least get a chance to

251
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: be like a fifty five starter split, which obviously kills

252
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller a ton. Yeah, it kills his kills his floor. Yeah.

253
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely more running back news this out of Seattle. Pete

254
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: Carroll says Chris Carson will catch more quote for sure. Uh.

255
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: In the words of Eric Cartman, that's cute. Um. Look,

256
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: I wrote a couple weeks ago that Chris Carson was

257
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: being undervalued in drafts, and you know, like and look,

258
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: he's not. And I bought a part of my logic

259
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: was sure, he doesn't catch the ball a ton, but

260
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: he just gets all. He gets the ball a lot,

261
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: and even if he's not necessarily catching it, he's still

262
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: getting touches. And maybe there's a way to kind of

263
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: use that the market inefficiency. But now, I mean, if

264
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: he's catching the ball on top of what he's getting

265
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: as a runner, uh, suddenly Chris Carson looks a heck

266
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: of a lot more attractive by Yeah, no doubt about that.

267
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: And you know, let's not forget he was. He was

268
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: one of the one of the gems last season, a

269
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: guy that uh we ended up being the steel for

270
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy owners. You know, when they drafted

271
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: Roshot Penny had Mike Davis in the mix. Uh, Carson

272
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: still went out and uh and and put up over

273
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: a thousand yards. He was the running back fifteen, only

274
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: had twenty catches last season. Uh So if we see

275
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: more in the terms of opportunities as a pass catcher

276
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: for a fifth round pick, uh, this is what his

277
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: ADP is at this point. I think it's going to

278
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: move up probably into the fourth round. That's a pretty

279
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: good value. This is one of the situations where I

280
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: actually believe coach speak right, UM, Brian Schottenheimer. Last year, quietly,

281
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: I know the Seahawks just didn't throw very much at

282
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: all on early downs, but they're actually one of the

283
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: top ten teams and targeting their running backs on first

284
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: and second down. Last year, Mike Davis's departure opens up

285
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: over a d forty touches in this backfield. I think

286
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,599
Speaker 1: Penny is probably maybe a little bit better the beneficiary

287
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: on path singing downs then Carson. But I definitely believe

288
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: Chris Carson catch the ball and he's so explosive in

289
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: the open field. It's such an easy thing to get

290
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: your running back out of the open field with the

291
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: rock in his hands, and Chris Carson is just so

292
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: so dangerous. UM. My favorite thing to do this year, guys,

293
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: when I have like one of those first three picks

294
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: Carson at like four ten, four eleven, or first pick

295
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: in the fourth, fifth round, to pair him with Barkley

296
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: or Camara or McCaffrey. It's so solid right now. And

297
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: in those third, you know, third, fourth round picks you

298
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: can use on your second second round pick two you

299
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: can use on receivers. It's just such a great set

300
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: up to for your for your draft right now to

301
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: stop through pick. So this means we shot Penny is

302
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: not a thing. I mean, he's gonna get he's gonna

303
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: get more opportunities than he did last season. I remember Mike,

304
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: Mike Davis is gone. Yeah. So and and you know

305
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: we saw if you watch the you know, the first

306
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: preseason game, you know, so a little bit there, and

307
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: this is this is the guy who was the first

308
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: round pick. The Seahawks are going to give him every

309
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: opportunity to produce. But I do think that Carson is

310
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: the clear cut He's he's the guy in that backfield.

311
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: Whereas earlier in the off season we were hearing rumblings

312
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: that this could be a committee. I really think this

313
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: is Carson one and Penny two. I was definitely wrong

314
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: about the Seahawks backfield last year. I thought, because Penny

315
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: was a first round picked, he was going to come

316
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: in and get all the touches. But Chris Carson beat

317
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: him out in camp, and he beat him out during

318
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: the entirety of the entirety of the regular season as well. Um,

319
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: Carson is the guy there and Penny I think can

320
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: be a flex starter because there's just so many touches

321
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: available back here. Yeah, you know, it's funny it to ect.

322
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: I sort of felt like that at the end of

323
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: last season that the the Seahawks were going to give

324
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: Penny every opportunity to sort of win that job. But

325
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: Carson is so good, man, He's really really good. It's

326
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: just not happening. More running back news this in Denver. Uh,

327
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: Fantasy Twitter sort of had a little bit of a

328
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: minor freak out when the Broncos signed Theod Riddeck because

329
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: it looked like it was going to clog up that backfield.

330
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: The bad news for the Broncos and Riddick a shoulder

331
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: fracture will keep him out for six to eight weeks.

332
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: That will take us obviously into the first couple of

333
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: weeks of the regular season. So I guess Graham, that's

334
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: back to status quo in that backfield with Lindsay and

335
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: Freeman for for the moment, right, we were kind of

336
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: expecting or running back by committee. Um, I think it's

337
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: fair to expect that Freeman and Lindsay are gonna nearly

338
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: split carries this year. Lindsay had the slight lead in

339
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: the red zone role last year and obviously hit the

340
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: passing down juice but yeah, you mentioned I mean, having

341
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: theoretic back there definitely kind of clogs the passing down

342
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: snaps up a little bit. But for now, at least,

343
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: I think we can expect the Broncos to carry DeVante

344
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: Booker throughout at least the first couple of weeks of

345
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: the season, now that Rick is hurt um. But for me,

346
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how you guys feel. But Philip Lindsay's

347
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: overpriced in the fifth round, right I think so I've

348
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: dropped him a few spots. Yeah, well, but I think

349
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: I think he's priced that way because I don't I

350
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: don't think people have clued into the fact that it

351
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: maybe more even split this year. I think people look

352
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: at what happened last year and expect a sort of

353
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: redo of that, and and look, if it ends up

354
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: being your redo, that fifth round price is fine. But

355
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: if if that gap closes an opportunity, then you are overpaying. Yeah.

356
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know rich Skenarella, who's the new offensive coordinator.

357
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: He's a Shanahan guy, and so I wouldn't be surprised

358
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: if this became Devanta Freeman Tevin Coleman. Uh. Sort of

359
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: that situation where you're getting you know, maybe sixteen to

360
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: seventeen touches from Lindsay and somewhere between eleven and thirteen

361
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: touches for Freeman. But it's going to get close because

362
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: in the second half of last season we saw Lindsay

363
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: sort of take off and it was Lindsay show. It

364
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: really was um and and and so I really do

365
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: think that it's gonna it's gonna close. That gap is

366
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: gonna close. Yeah, I mean it's a bizarre thing, right, Like,

367
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: why would you want to take Philip Lindsay off the

368
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: field even more? I mean, he was one of the

369
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: most efficient, explosive running backs in the NFL. I'm not

370
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: really entirely sure why Denver wants to to take his

371
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: passing snaps down with with Booker and Ridick around in Freeman.

372
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's definitely, uh, one of those kind

373
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: of situations. I don't think ADP is really fully caught

374
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: up to where Lindsay's role is actually going to be. Yeah.

375
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: Last bit of news, Jermaine Curse Saturday broken leg in

376
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,959
Speaker 1: a preseason game. He was sort of a little bit

377
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: down on the depth chart there in Detroit. We know

378
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: their top two receivers are going to be Marvin Jones

379
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: and Kenny Golladay, but there was an opportunity for Jermaine

380
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: Curse to maybe make an impact. I don't know. Is

381
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 1: there anybody besides those top two receivers that that you know,

382
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: either of you are might end up being the security

383
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: blanket from Matthews. I've heard that. I've heard that. I

384
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: mean PPR. I still think Jones and Godaday are just

385
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: gonna get all the targets. Yeah, Marvin Jones, We've talked

386
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: about this, Marcus. Marvin Jones is such a great bye

387
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: I think so. I feel like he's being underrated. Um,

388
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I heard the early stories

389
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: I think out of camp where they were saying he

390
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: might get traded or whatever. Maybe that has an impact,

391
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: but look, as long as he's still there, that wouldn't

392
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: make much sense. I mean they their receiver depth outside

393
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: of those two is now is special, especially now, especially now.

394
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 1: I give you guys a little trivia. I'm almost done

395
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: with this Offensive Coordinator Coaches column that's taking me forever

396
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: to put together. How dare you it is? It is?

397
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: Are you? I feel bad? Uh for you? My friends.

398
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: It's a lot to read, but um, you know, Darryl

399
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: Bevil has been an offensive coordinator for twelve years and

400
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: he's had two thousand yard wide receivers. That's it, just

401
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: two that Baldwin and Sydney Rice. That seems Sydney Rice,

402
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: Sydney Rice Man, I haven't heard that name. That's it.

403
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: Baldwin di it twice and Rice was once. It's just

404
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: I found that very interesting. It makes sense because when

405
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: I was going through the team previews his his offenses

406
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: have been top ten in run rate eight times out

407
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: of those twelve years. I mean part of it too,

408
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: is like, you know, he had freaking Adrian Peterson and

409
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch. Yes, so you know, unless so, unless carry

410
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: On Johnson is going to be as effective as one

411
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: of those two guys. We still like Golladay. Marvin Jones

412
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: is still a goodbye based on his ADP. But it

413
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: is interesting to see that, you know, there haven't been

414
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: a lot of thousand yard wide receivers and Bebel's career

415
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: as carry On has so much upside. This year, he

416
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: is much he is skyrocketing too. In a Bevil has

417
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: never had a running back catch more than forty six

418
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: balls than win a single season, so maybe fifty is

419
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: a little a little high, um, but he could certainly

420
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: get into the fourties. That learning back by the way,

421
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: was Moldy Moore. Do you remember Moldy Moore? Man, You

422
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: just you just basically described Darryl bevil as like a

423
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: human wet blanket. There's nothing exciting about that. There. There

424
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: hasn't Yeah, there hasn't been, although he did lead Vessante

425
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: Shanko to a couple of ten top ten finishes. Man,

426
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: there are there just more like names you want to

427
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: pull out of the crazy fantasy tight end for like

428
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: a year or two. Man. Well, historical research, my friend,

429
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,239
Speaker 1: there you go. That is pretty much everything you need

430
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:54,479
Speaker 1: to know. So we went through preseason week one, every

431
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: team played, and like you know, Hall of Fame week,

432
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: you just have the two teams play all thirty two.

433
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: We're in action last weeks. That means we got to

434
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: see glimpses of a whole lot of players, which means

435
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: start a freak out and everybody overreacts to what they

436
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: see in preseason week one. And we'll do this, you know, obviously,

437
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: this every week, and we'll do it again, especially after

438
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: week one of the regular season, because that's when you

439
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: get the biggest freakouts because then everybody's watching. Um but

440
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: I listed some things here, uh that you know, basically

441
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: kind of a fantasy overreactions from what we saw in

442
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: preseason week one, and we can kind of kick these

443
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: things around. The first one, Daniel Jones is a Q one.

444
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: He comes out marches the Giants down the field five

445
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: or five, passing sixty seven yards at a touchdown. So

446
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: fancy this means obviously Eli Manning is going to retire

447
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: sometime this week and Daniel Jones is gonna be like

448
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: a fourth round of pick yea so much? Okay, not so?

449
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a Giants fan, Edward and and

450
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't think that we didn't notice

451
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: that you posted the picture of yourself and Daniel Jones

452
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: all over my friends after that, performing to post that

453
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: every time we does something good, as I get you

454
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: already caught on. This was the same guy who was

455
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: piste after he got drafted. Sure, I I was pissed

456
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: the direction they went that being said, I'm going to

457
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: support the guy. I said that the human aspect. I

458
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: just felt bad for him, like after people just crushing him.

459
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: But three of those five. He went five or five.

460
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: Three of those passes those were he had three really

461
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: good there. Touchdown that touchdown passed was an I spent

462
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: the touchdown pass slant around in the out. That's all

463
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: I want to say. I dont want to say anythings,

464
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: gonna halm me, but those three pass and I'll leave

465
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: it at that. Yeah. Well, I mean Eli had been

466
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: having a good camp too, so I would unless the

467
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: Giants do sorry ed, you know, the they shocked the

468
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,479
Speaker 1: world and actually compete in the NFC East, what no

469
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: one thinks that they're going to do. Daniel Jones is

470
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: going to see starts as a rookie. He's going to

471
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: but he has absolutely no redraft value at all in

472
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: fantasy football. Yeah, I can't imagine. So, I mean, unless

473
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: something really flips in the next couple of weeks and

474
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: he overtakes Eli Manning. But I don't. I just don't

475
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: see that. I mean, I've been in leagues where Kirk

476
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: Cousins didn't get dres after did the Daniel Jones a

477
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: getting drafted man No No over. In New England, Jacoby

478
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: Myers had himself a night six catches, sixty nine yards,

479
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: a pair of touchdowns, that was on eight targets, so

480
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: grand we are scrapping to kill Harry, right and it's uh,

481
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: Joby Meyers first off, great national law firm. Obviously at

482
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver too. You know it's no, he's no Celino Barnes,

483
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: but you know Jacoby Meyers, he's pretty good. Now now

484
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: you're talking about me. It took me a second to

485
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: get that one. That was good. Uh No, Nikole, Harry

486
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: had a couple of nice sketches in that game too, yea, Um,

487
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean I saw, I've seen Jacoby Mariers

488
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: started to go a little bit later in draft that

489
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots third receiver spot is like just a total

490
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: question mark. Right now we're writing on Josh Gordon being reinstated.

491
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: I guess Philip or Sett could play there, but yeah,

492
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: Patriots receiver corpses a little bit up in the air

493
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: right now. Um. By the way, I don't think I

494
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: asked you about this because it's I feel like it's

495
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: just fantasy catting it right. Every time Josh Gordon's name appears,

496
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: like people kind of start buzzing. Oh I still I

497
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: still buying the Catinet for sure. Absolutely, he's working out

498
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: in Gainesville. Man, he's trying to get reinstated. He's coming back.

499
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: He's trying at least he's trying. And like, look, I

500
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: do I wish him the best. I just you know,

501
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just really can't. I can't do

502
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: this anymore. My emotions can't happen. It's the it's the

503
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: Lucy and Charlie Brown situation. We we've held the ball

504
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: for so long, and you know, inevitably, guys are it's

505
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: gonna get pulled up. We're gonna fall on our butts. Yeah,

506
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: you guys need to get back on the truth or train.

507
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's happier over here. Was so long ago, man,

508
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: it was so long. Yes, but Marcus he was so

509
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: good last year when he was on the field. Right,

510
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: that's the point I have to add that cave Man. Um,

511
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: the Browns and the greatest fantasy offense ever Baker Mayfield

512
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: without even without Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry, they just

513
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: moved up and down against Washington. They scored a touchdown

514
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: Baker six or seven seventy seven yards and a touchdown. Um.

515
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: I mean this is maybe a slight overreaction, but I

516
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: mean what we saw out of the Browns like sort

517
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: of validate everybody's excitement about this excited dude, I mean,

518
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: the Browns are that's the team in fantasy football right now,

519
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: you know, like everyone's talking about them. Baker averaged right

520
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: around nineteen points per game when Kitchens was the o C.

521
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: Last season he was the QB ten. He looked tremendous.

522
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: Then you bring in the fact that Odell Beckham Jr.

523
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: Is in the mix along with Landry and and Joeku.

524
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: Antonio Callaway is gonna miss four games due to a suspension.

525
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb now is a going to be a true

526
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: featured back with more possible opportunities as a pass catcher.

527
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: After the trade of Duke Johnson, the Browns are a

528
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: fantasy football darling. That team, that whole offense is just

529
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: loaded with guys who can put up numbers. And the

530
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: fact that they grabbed they got Beckham Jr. Sorry Eddie

531
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: uh in the off season just makes this offense even

532
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: more appealing for fantasy owners. You know what's real sneaky

533
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: is without Duke Johnson. I think Jarvis Landry is in

534
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: for just like even more targets. I mean with that,

535
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Duke, who's going to steal some of those

536
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: kind of underneath RB like targets. But but Landry and

537
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: people hate drafting Dravis Landry and he's still I mean,

538
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: it was the seventh round when Kitchens was the o

539
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: SC he was averaging like I think it was like

540
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: six point seven targets a game. It wasn't much, right,

541
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: So but now without Beckham maybe we see that was

542
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: without Beckham, Now we see kind of more of a

543
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: condensed target tree, I think with just Beckham and Landry

544
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: as the one to punch there. Um, I'll be really

545
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 1: interested to see what the Browns do. Uh. You know,

546
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: Tonio Callaway's suspended for the first four games of the year,

547
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: has had a bad camp. He's been playing through injury.

548
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: Schard Haggins, I guess is their number three now. So

549
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: Landry it's just I mean, he's not in a bad spot,

550
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Um, we haven't talked about this in

551
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: a while, but what are we doing with Kareem Hunt?

552
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean right now he's got like an eighth round

553
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: a DP. Do you want to take eight straight zeros? Oh?

554
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: That's the thing is like I don't. That's why that's

555
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 1: just not draft that seems insanely high. Right, I haven't

556
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: drafted him in any cock, I haven't drafted him in

557
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: a real league. I haven't drafted him at all. Nick Chubb. Okay,

558
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: there are four running backs that have better outlooks in

559
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: the first eight weeks than Nick Chubb, like David Johnson,

560
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, sa Kwon Barkley, maybe Zeke when he comes back,

561
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: and Christian McCaffrey five or six. Right, who else has

562
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 1: a higher expectation than Nick Chubb in the first two months? No,

563
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the thing. So it's like, so it's

564
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: not only the eight straight zero you're getting from Kareem Hunt,

565
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: but it's also the situation of what exactly does he

566
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: walk back into, what kind of role does he walk

567
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: back into when he gets for the Browns. It's great

568
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: to have that other option there, But if I'm gonna

569
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: hold onto this guy for you know, eight nine, ten weeks,

570
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: like I want to be assured he's gonna give me

571
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: RB one kind of production, Like I need for him

572
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: to make up that lost ground quickly, and I just

573
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: don't know if that happens. Fantasy football is a weekly game,

574
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: and you kind of forget that, Like, oh my god,

575
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: it's Week six and I've got four players on my

576
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: my RB four is injured. I can't sit on Creem Hunt.

577
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 1: You can spend that pick in the twelfth round, but

578
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: you could also spend that pick on the twelfth round

579
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: and somebody's actually going to help you, or at least

580
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:05,959
Speaker 1: has a chance to help you in the first two

581
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,239
Speaker 1: months of the season. I want wins. I don't want zeros, right,

582
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: And I think that that's the thing. It is. It's

583
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: like it it seems like a good idea. And so

584
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: you're facing bipocalypse and you gotta, you gotta, you know,

585
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: you gotta rearrange your roster because you're not gonna you know,

586
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: you're not gonna drop your second wide receiver, because you

587
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: gotta do. And it's not even like Kareem Hunt's coming

588
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: in and will overtake Chubb and be the featured back,

589
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: Like his role is going to be significantly reduced to

590
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: what we're used to during his time in Kansas City, Kansas.

591
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: And if Chubb plays as well as he did last

592
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: season and with the schedule that Graham mentioned, he is

593
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: gonna put a vice gript hole down that starting spot.

594
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: And Kareem Hunt will come in do very little other

595
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: than spell him. I get so many people in my

596
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: mentions when I talk about chub it's like, oh, Nick

597
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: Chubb is not going to be the starter when he

598
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: when when Kareem Hunt comes back, It's like, how do

599
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: you know that Nick Chubbs was awesome last year and

600
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna be awesome for the first two months of

601
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: this season. And if you listen to any Kitchen's talk,

602
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: he's had nothing but great things to say about about

603
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: Nick Chubbs. This is the same Nick Chubb who was

604
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: a higher almost a higher touted prospect coming out of

605
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: Georgia than Todd Gurley before he heard his name. Yeah, yeah,

606
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: that's awesome. You know yeah. I just I look at

607
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: that ADP in the eighth round and I just like

608
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: what it just it blows me away. What what? Where

609
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: is Kareem Hunt going off in the eighth round? I

610
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm just like sane. Apparently it's happening. Uh well,

611
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: the calculator's got him at eight, so you know it's

612
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: a it's a compilation. Calculator needs to recalculate because I

613
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: mean it is a compilation. He's got the tenth round

614
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: ADP on NFL dot com, and he he goes in

615
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: the first eleven to ten rounds. People, I mean, people

616
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: are optimistic, man, Like, you know, you gotta have hope.

617
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: I guess I hope that they look at the stats

618
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: and they fall in love, not realizing there's a dude

619
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: in front of him who is not going to relinquish

620
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: that roll outside of an injury. Hope isn't. It's just

621
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: not going to happen. Uh, Dwayne Haskins, he's a bust.

622
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: Forget him. It's done. You know, we can have to

623
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: worry about him anymore. Fourteen hundred and seventeen yards and

624
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: two picks. I mean, look, I don't know if anybody

625
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: had high expectations for the Washington offense. I think any

626
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks that come out of there were you know,

627
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: we're hopeful at best. I feel like Haskins his best

628
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: value is a dynasty kind of guy, like you're waiting

629
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: for a couple of years down the road. Um. Yeah,

630
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: it wasn't great what we saw from him over the weekend,

631
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,719
Speaker 1: But I mean, I don't know what people are expecting.

632
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: The Redskins need Williams so bad, so bad their Their

633
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: left side is just I mean, Haskins is gonna be

634
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: eaten alive if Trent Williams doesn't come back, which it

635
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: doesn't sound very likely. It doesn't anytime soon, not soon,

636
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: maybe not at all. It's not like he's done. Roster

637
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: is a fantasy waste land. Guys, it really is. Outside

638
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: of Darius, you know, there's there's very little upside to me.

639
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: Trey Quinn, maybe you can throw him out there. We've

640
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: been hearing a lot about Jordan Read. We've been down

641
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: that road before with Jordan Read. He's maybe you know,

642
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: the best, he's best receiver they have on the team,

643
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: but we're so snake bitten from him that that is

644
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: hard to really take. Anything he does is going to

645
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: see a hundred and ten targets with an average depth

646
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: of target of like six yards. Yeah, okay, but if

647
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: it's assuming he doesn't get hurt. So let's say you're

648
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: spending let's say let's say it's the fourteenth round. I mean,

649
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: would you would you do that that shot in Jordan?

650
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: I like Jordan Read is a late round time. Oh no,

651
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: me too, Okay, when I miss out, when I miss

652
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: out on the whole, like fifth, sixth round tier of

653
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: like Howard, Ingram and Henry. That's where I'm heavily just

654
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: hammering in every draft. If I don't get any of

655
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: those guys, I don't mind Jordan in the round. It's

656
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: not sexy, but he's sort of the consolation if you're

657
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: not able to get like advanced McDonald or Mark Andrews,

658
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: and you're like, you know what, I'm gonna punt tight

659
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: end down the road a little bit and wait a

660
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: few more. You know, it's a really fun combo this

661
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: year is Mark Andrews and Jordan read you get the

662
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: home run swing with Mark Andrews, will see what you got,

663
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: and then Jordan reads the floor play. Yeah, they're actually

664
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: coming off the board like one pretty much right right

665
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: next to each other. I've done that quite a few times. Ah.

666
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: David Montgomery is an RB one. He's it's it's it's

667
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: locking up. He's top ten. Uh. You know I know

668
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: that that. Fantasy analysts have been going nuts for David Montgomery.

669
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: I like him a lot too. Uh. He walks into

670
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: a huge role with Jordan how Ward now in Philadelphia.

671
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: Three carries, sixteen yards and a touchdown, three catches for

672
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: thirty yards. Um. I mean, I guess, Graham, what's what's

673
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: not to like? I guess the only question is, like,

674
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: is he now vying with Josh Jacobs to be the

675
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: top rookie running back at this point? Jacobs does go

676
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: way too high, and I think they're expectations are a

677
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: lot closer than people give credit for. But at the

678
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: same time, Montgomery, he's going in a range where he

679
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: goes around Chris Carson, James White, Um, Kenny Golladay, Tyler Lockett.

680
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: It's a really tough ADP range and it's really hard

681
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: to go all in on Montgomery. But yeah, I definitely,

682
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: I definitely love his overall outlook going into this season.

683
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bears have all those carries open from

684
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard Tree Cone is never going to be a

685
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: big goal line back to begin with, So for sure,

686
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: I like Montgomery for sure as an RB two. I mean,

687
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: one of the most elusive running backs to come out

688
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,479
Speaker 1: of college in a long time. You know, per Pro

689
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: Football Focus, he lit all running backs and forcedmis tackles

690
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: over the last two years. He's a playmaker. Again, you

691
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: mentioned Jordan Howard no longer in the mix. That's seventy

692
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: touches that are available, and Montgomery's probably gonna eat up

693
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: every single one of them, if not more. Right now,

694
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: over the weekend is adp roach to the fourth round.

695
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to You're gonna have to put

696
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: a little investment in him, uh to grab him at

697
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: this point because the stock is rising. Ah, alright, this

698
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: is for you, fabs kyl Mury's the top five QB.

699
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: Last week you had him, had him the top eight.

700
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: Now he goes out and then he he wiles everybody

701
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: six or seven, forty four yards. He looks confident in

702
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: the pocket, he gets the ball out quickly. You've moved up.

703
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: He's the top five guy. Now. I don't think I

704
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: can I can't move him up any I mean, you know,

705
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: considering you know, you got like the big four up there,

706
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: and then the situation with Andrew lock will see with

707
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: the calf. But I mean I've moved him ahead of

708
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: some pretty significant names already, Cam Newton, Russell Wilson, Jared Goffin,

709
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: He's he's he's up there man like he is. I

710
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: don't think I can move him any higher than I

711
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: have him right now. And then you know there was

712
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: just a lot of thinking and duncan you know he

713
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: went six or seven? Uh? It kept it real real, Yeah,

714
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: kept the real statut. Kyler was real comfortable back there.

715
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: He's a confident kid. And again, you know a stat

716
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: that I've mentioned a couple of times in the last

717
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: you know, a few weeks. If you look at since

718
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: the five Rokey quarterbacks who have finished in the top

719
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: ten and Fantasy points in their first NFL season either

720
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: rush for five hund or more yards or five touchdowns.

721
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: Kyler can do both. I'm excited to see what the

722
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 1: Cardinals do in their second third preseason game. Andy Asabella

723
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: is supposed to be back this week. He's coming back

724
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: off a minor knee injury. Um last week, they it

725
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: was funny they ran Max Williams out there on their

726
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: first drive. I remember when he's the thing for like

727
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: two seconds. They basically used Max william detached as a

728
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: receiver in their first preseason game. I'm really excited to

729
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: see what they're kind of going to do in their

730
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: first two actual preseason games with some of their receivers, right,

731
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: because so so Cliff Kingsbury. If you look back at

732
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: his time at Texas Tech, the slot receiver was the

733
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: one that thrived, even Jayson Morrow. Remember Jason Morrow, He

734
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: actually had a really good season at Texas Tech, playing

735
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,439
Speaker 1: predominantly out of the slot. We're all thinking it's gonna

736
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: be fitzgerr Older, right, or is it going to be

737
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,959
Speaker 1: more Isabella. I think what they'll do is they they're

738
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: gonna run ten personnel, four receivers more than any so

739
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: that means you're gonna have too dual slot receivers. Fitzgerald's

740
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 1: gonna be one of them, and I'm really hoping it's

741
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk and the inside. I think Isabella and Kirk

742
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: are going to kind of swap inside of that second

743
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: slot position. But when they go into three wide, would

744
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: be really interesting to see how they aligned Kirk is

745
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: Kirk the now the ex receiver? How did they use Asabella?

746
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: I mean, they have so many guys that they can

747
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: use in different spots. I think that they're all gonna

748
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: be lining up all over the And I sort of

749
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: wonder too, like how much of this is impacted by

750
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: whether or not Keishaw Johnson kind of works within because

751
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: that's a guy that I've liked since the combine. You've

752
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: been on him by the way, he's been had a

753
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: Hockeen Butler all camps. Yeah, I I like him a lot.

754
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: The thing about him, though, is that I don't know

755
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: that he has the speed to play on the outside necessarily,

756
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: and so if that might force Kirk outside or Isabella

757
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: outside a little bit more just to get Johnson some

758
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: better matchups in the slot. And so I think if

759
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: if somehow Hockeen Butler can can make up some ground

760
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: and get on the field, and maybe that changes things.

761
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't know that's that's gonna be.

762
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: If father is gonna find offensive Butler is gonna have

763
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 1: an impact this year, It's not gonna be the first

764
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: eight weeks. He's gonna have to take some big strides

765
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: during the season game right now. It's gonna happening, alright,

766
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: So Darrell Henderson's overrated Todd Gurley is back to being

767
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: a first round pick. Uh six carries thirteen yards two

768
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: point two yards per carry. Like we can, we can.

769
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: We can call off the celebration now right, cancel the

770
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame jacket, and we can. We agree though,

771
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: that the sixth round is too soon to draft this kid.

772
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: I said it last week, can we agree? I mean,

773
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: I mean, like the ceiling is like through the damn roof,

774
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: but certain things have to happen. Michael Jordan, The ceiling

775
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:38,479
Speaker 1: is the roof exactly. I mean like that's let's let's

776
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: put it. You know, if Gurly doesn't get hurt, this

777
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: kid's value is is in ceiling. It is certainly uh limited.

778
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: I will put it this way. Miles Sanders typically goes

779
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: behind Darrell Henderson in drafts, and then I would rather

780
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: have not Miles Sanders should not rather have Miles And

781
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: I speak as Darrell Henderson, one of Darrell Henderson's biggest

782
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: fansom and he blew up my yards creative process. And

783
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: I still think he's going to be a fantastic player. Um,

784
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: but yeah he he should not be going in the

785
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: sixth round ahead of Miles Sanders in drafts. Yeah. I mean, look,

786
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: I just there has been such Todd Gurley hysteria that

787
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: that it's had a lot to do with this and

788
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: so that that has helped Henderson a lot. Um, But

789
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: man sixth round is that's awfully pricey. It's it's it's

790
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: maybe the biggest boomer bust pick in fantasy drafts, right,

791
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: now is Henderson because you're and again we talked about

792
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: it last week, You're you're investing in an RB two

793
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: who is behind the best running back in fantasy football

794
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: for the last two seasons. And I get the knee

795
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: is an issue, but that's a that's a lot, that's

796
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: a that's a hefty price to pay. I think I

797
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 1: think I'm still buying Henderson just for the fact that

798
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 1: he might have like a Chris Thompson type role. He

799
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: could be a flex starter, and then the upside is

800
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: just ginormous. Early miss his time, right, Uh, James Washington

801
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: is the new Juju Smith Schuster, Right, I mean we

802
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: were looking for that number two. Juju moves up to

803
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: number one with Antonio Brown gun so who slides in?

804
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, sure, Dante Moncrief is like playing well

805
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,479
Speaker 1: and getting all this high. But Juju. But the James

806
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: Washington four for eighty four and a touch on five targets,

807
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: we can we can forget it. It's all It's all

808
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: about James Washington now, right. I actually really like James Washington.

809
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: I have also, Yeah, I think I know fabs and

810
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: I've kind of been on the James Washington train a

811
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: little bit this year. Um, it feels like people are

812
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 1: forgetting about me. I mean, the Steelers are the best

813
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: team in the NFL drafting receivers, and everybody wants Moncrief

814
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: to be a thing. Everybody likes Deonte Johnson too, But

815
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: it does feel like Washington has been a little bit

816
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: forgotten about. I mean, at Oklahoma State, he was a

817
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: monster producer, two back to back years of a thousand

818
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: yards in ten more scores. H fantastic athlete, and now

819
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: he has all this open opportunity. Sure, Dante Moncrief is

820
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: going to cut into it a little bit vance McDonald's

821
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 1: is going to cut in a moment. It's so like

822
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: not durable that right. But Washington is so he's so

823
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: cheap still, I mean, does in the tenth of lust

824
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: down He's still so cheap, so easy to kick. I

825
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: saw a report that you know, mine creep was too.

826
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: And now it's Deonte and and uh and James Washington

827
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: who are sort of battling it out for that. I

828
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: just I'm I like Washington as a as a late

829
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: as a late run dart throw any I mean, I

830
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 1: guess not a major concern about opportunity in the offense.

831
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 1: Because the Steelers through the ball nearly seven hundred times

832
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: like person passes, it's hard to think they're gonna come

833
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: close to I mean, like I feel like they're coming

834
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: closer that number. Things have gone wrong for them this year.

835
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: If they're not gonna come close to that number, shouldn't

836
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,439
Speaker 1: we just be buying all the James Conner then? Yuh?

837
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's an idea. If they're if they're

838
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: gonna go a little more run heavy this year without

839
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: maybe we should be hammering James conn Yeah, I mean

840
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: you might be right. I mean, just because like throwing

841
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: the ball, they threw six hundred and eighty nine times

842
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: last year, it just seems that seems improbable. An offensive

843
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: place just seems improbable to get back to that again

844
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: this year. Uh, Darwin Thompson is you know what? Darwinism

845
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: is alive and well in Kansas City. Six touch is

846
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: fifty one total, y'all ours and a touchdown until while

847
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: everybody is worried about what to do with the Damian

848
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: Williams and Carlos Hide, Uh, we're all sleeping on Darwin Thompson. Right,

849
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: That's that's that's true, right, Ebbs, that's a light around

850
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: Darth Row. I still feel like Damian Williams is the

851
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: target here, although that his values cooled a bit after

852
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: what and your Reid said with the potential backfield committee.

853
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: But I mean Williams was so tremendous in the second

854
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,240
Speaker 1: half of last season into the playoffs. He was putting

855
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 1: up numbers better than Kareem Hunt was from a fantasy perspective. Now,

856
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: I get it, twenty seven years old has never been

857
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: a featured back in the NFL. There are some causes

858
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: for concern. I mean we're not talking about, you know,

859
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: some dynamic running back behind him. Who's you know in

860
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide. I still a man on Damian Williams. I

861
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm taking him in the second round.

862
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: He's probably more of a third round pick. But I

863
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: still believe he'll lead that backfield in tight What has

864
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: been so high acious, They've been hot and cold on

865
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: Damian Williams. Right, It's like at first it's like it's

866
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: all about baby and Williams. Then he gets a little

867
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 1: bit hurt and misses sometime him. Now it's like Carlos

868
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: Ide is the thing. I've just stayed steady man, like

869
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,959
Speaker 1: Andy Reid last month said Damian Williams is our guy.

870
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of production. Go go do it.

871
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: The only thing that has changes he strained as hamstring.

872
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: He's back in camp today and he was taking reps

873
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: with the first team starters. I mean Darwin Thompson. That

874
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: Darwin Thompson. Uh do you guys see his run where

875
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: he hurtled the defender. I mean it's fourth and fifth string.

876
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 1: That was a pretty sick I was pretty sick. Um. Yeah.

877
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: I just you know, Andy Reid is generally kind of

878
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: a one back guy. You know, he he wants to

879
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: give one guy a whole lot of opportunity, and so

880
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 1: that that means to me, it's Damian Williams until we

881
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: hear otherwise. I really hope, I really hope people keep

882
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: souring on Damian Williams because when we start my drafts

883
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: with RB receiver and then Damian Williams in the third round, yeah,

884
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be upset. Doing some research too on

885
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: read his offenses, we already know they're very running back friendly.

886
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,760
Speaker 1: He's had eleven combined top ten finishes at the position,

887
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: which is great for you know, for Damian Williams and

888
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: he's he likes to give one guy at the football

889
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: he he does, he really does. And so, like I said,

890
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, dating back to his time in Philadelphia, that's

891
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: kind of been his m O. Somebody asked me about,

892
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: you know, how I felt about Carlos High and I

893
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: was like, well, you know, look until I see that

894
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: it's not Damian Williams like he can't really trust Carlos

895
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,479
Speaker 1: High and either I mean, High has not been good

896
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: guys like Carlos Hide has been. On his last three teams,

897
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: he's been lasting yards per carry compared to the running

898
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: backs on the team on his last three teams, his

899
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: last four d plus carries of average three three point

900
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: five yards per carry, and since he entered the NFL,

901
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: he's last in yards per target among running backs and

902
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: he is last in yards after the catch among running backs.

903
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: The one thing we know, he's a traditionally pretty good

904
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 1: in week one. So if you just get him weak one,

905
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: lock him up, and then you're good to go. Ezekiel

906
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: Elliott is the greatest running back alive, because you know,

907
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys running game was just kind of without him, right,

908
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: He's in Cabo chilling the Cowboys running backs eight teen

909
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: carries fifty five yards, no touchdowns, just generally underwhelming. So

910
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: that means, you know, Zeke when he comes back, is

911
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: going to be the number one overall pick because he's

912
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: just is that great, right, Graham? He is? He's great.

913
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 1: Here's a fun hypothetical, though, where are you guys? Like,

914
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 1: if you were on the clock right now at four overall,

915
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 1: can you take Zeke? Um? I did? Actually, yeah, I have.

916
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: Let's say the first three picks are Barkley, McCaffrey, and

917
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 1: Camarin some order. Yeah, i'd take Zeke four. I could

918
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 1: take DJ four. I think I take DJ four at

919
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: right this very minute, but I would think about it,

920
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 1: like I probably use the whole clock before, right before

921
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: I pulled the track. I've taken DJ as early as three. Um,

922
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: but I think I would take I think I could

923
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: take DJ. Listen, call me a homer. I'm taking him four. Yeah,

924
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 1: that's fine. Um, Look, I look, I don't think you

925
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: should slip past five though. That's the thing. Yeah, And

926
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: because I still believe in my heart of hearts that

927
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: they're going to get something done, Like I just don't

928
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: think they're gonna let this go very far. And even

929
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: even if for some crazy reason it gets into the

930
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: regular season. It's not going to go that long and

931
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: regular It's so much a different situation too, because Zeke

932
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: has Sorry Zeke, but you have no leverage. I mean,

933
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: you're you're in the fourth year year deal like Melvin

934
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: Gordon is at least entering the that fifth year option.

935
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: So if you don't play, if Zeke does not play

936
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: this year, he's gonna be in the same situation heized

937
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: the year before, and that that contract is gonna toll over. Man.

938
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: I never thought that to analyze fantasy football, I'd have

939
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: to be a c BA expert to yeah, exactly, who

940
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: ever thought? Yep? So there you go. There's a some

941
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: of our overreactions for preseason week one. Of course, if

942
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: you have some that you overreacted to, good, bad, indifferent,

943
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: hit us up on Twitter, either individually, or you can

944
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:29,479
Speaker 1: hit us up at the NFL podcast, uh Twitter handle whatever.

945
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: We just want to hear some of your overreactions. I

946
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: think that that would be fun to do before we go.

947
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 1: I saw a story that I thought was kind of funny.

948
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: There was a Taco Bell pop up hotel in Palm Springs.

949
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: Uh Now, and you said that your your girlfriend was

950
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: out there, right, I know she she does news and

951
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 1: so she got there to cover this thing, right, she

952
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: took the trip out there. Yeah, she saw the whole facility,

953
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: Like they changed the regular hotel over to everything Taco

954
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: Bell teams, so like the colors changed and the food

955
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 1: they were serving. The stomach ache, just think about you

956
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: don't like Taco Bell. I can't eat it, man, it

957
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,959
Speaker 1: destroys me. I can't eat it. So it was the

958
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: the v Palm Springs was was the is the actual

959
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: hotel and then Taco Bell took it over for what

960
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't long, like just like the weekendays, right, Um,

961
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: so you could go there if you love Taco Bell.

962
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 1: They were serving Taco Bell food. They decked the whole

963
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: place out in the Taco Bell colors, the whole scheme. Yeah,

964
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 1: I've got a friend she she she's like a huge

965
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: Taco Bell fan. She told me. There's a freaking waitlist

966
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: to get onto it. Yeah, like you had to sign

967
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:33,959
Speaker 1: up and like hopefully they picked you to stay there

968
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: for like just one of the days. Wild to me,

969
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: I heard it was mostly like like social media influencers

970
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 1: to promote what's going on, but which is unfortunate for

971
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: the die hard fans, right, I mean you figured those

972
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: those folks, you know, the diehard fans are probably your

973
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: best word of mouth exactly to kind of get that

974
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: sort of thing out there, especially because it's a pop up.

975
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: It's not like you guys are building an actual hotel

976
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: forever and ever. I don't know, man, I want to

977
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: go and put a Taco Bell robe on and chill out,

978
00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: whether by their nice you do now. I was questioning

979
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: that for a second. I'm like Graham's kiding right, But

980
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: it did viper, it did tall. It did make me

981
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: think though. I mean, look, we've all, even if we

982
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: don't eat it anymore, we have all at some point,

983
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 1: you know, gorged on Taco Bell. It's Taco Bell because

984
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: it got me through college. I think. I think a

985
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: lot of people can say the same thing. I don't

986
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: think you're alone in that. Toilet paper companies also appreciate

987
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: that they do. I mean, look, I will say this,

988
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 1: there is a genius in being able to take the

989
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: same like four ingredients andre and just like fold them

990
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:32,919
Speaker 1: into different shapes and like call them a new menu item,

991
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,479
Speaker 1: because that's basically what it is. It's like the same,

992
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: like four or five ingredients. It's folded. Like my mother

993
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 1: made a good point once upon a time. She's like,

994
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:41,879
Speaker 1: think about when you bring home Taco Bell, no matter

995
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: what you order, it all smells the same. I don't

996
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 1: know if that's good or bad, but it is true.

997
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: It is an actual fact. It all smells the same.

998
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: But but it did make me wonder. So I figured

999
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,240
Speaker 1: we can do a rank this and you can get

1000
00:46:58,120 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: and you can jump in on this too, because you,

1001
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: I know, are a Taco Bell OFFICI and my spot

1002
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: on this because I don't. I don't eat Taco Bell

1003
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 1: the four of us. I know you probably eat it

1004
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: more frequently. But uh so I said, like, let's rank

1005
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: our top three Taco Bell menu items. So Eddie, as

1006
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 1: as the the expert here, I think I would defer

1007
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: to you and let you go first your your top

1008
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: three menu items. The kind of boring. The top three though,

1009
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: are like their specials, the crunch Rap Supreme, the Cheesy

1010
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: Gordia Crunch, and the Choloop Supreme. So that was like

1011
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 1: the three go to Okay? All right? Uh Graham, do

1012
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: you have a yeah? I mean if you don't put

1013
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: the cheesy Gordy to crunch in there. I mean that

1014
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: was like my go too. But guys, Baja Mountain dew,

1015
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: how much sugar than that? All of it doesn't matter.

1016
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: All of it doesn't matter, of course. I mean that

1017
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: that is a must for me. And by the way,

1018
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 1: have you guys ever had well, obviously probably not now,

1019
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: but do you ever have their breakfast? Oh? Yeah, breakfast

1020
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: rafts are not bad. No, they're good. Oh. I haven't

1021
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: had one, not too long. But at least when I

1022
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: used to have, they weren't. That just seems dangerous. All right,

1023
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 1: it's a good way to start your day, fabs is

1024
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: I can tell you what, really, you just eat the

1025
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: breakfast and go back to bed. So my three I

1026
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: got the grilled stuff burrito, which I loved, the Doritos

1027
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: Locos Tacos, which is also great because every year you

1028
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: get that free one fund series. Uh and like it's

1029
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: an old school one. But I love the Mexican pizza.

1030
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: I did the Mexican people. That was the last time

1031
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: I went, now you mentioned I definitely went and got

1032
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,760
Speaker 1: a couple of Doritos Locos tacos. Was during the world Seriously,

1033
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if you guys remember this

1034
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: for a while, Uh, Taco Bell did a bacon cheeseburger menu. Yes. Um.

1035
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 1: It didn't last long, and I remember it. I remember

1036
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 1: specifically because my best friend was telling me he went

1037
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: to a Taco Bell drive through and you know the

1038
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: voice on the other end, you know, welcome to Taco Bell.

1039
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: What can I get you? And my friends says, um,

1040
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: hey can I I'm thinking about that that bacon cheeseburger

1041
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 1: burrito and the personally other and said are you sure?

1042
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: And he said no, I guess not. So. I think

1043
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: if the guy the Taco Bell menu is asking you

1044
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: your questions, asking you questions about stuff, You're like, are

1045
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: you sure? You're probably If we've learned any anything from

1046
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:19,439
Speaker 1: Demolition Man, though, which we're set in two, Taco Bell

Speaker 1: Taco back, which means I'm never eating fast food. It
