Speaker 1: Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano and Graham Barfield. Fact

4
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: fresh from from Denver. Um, I mean we got some

5
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,120

Speaker 1: wish I did. But yeah, wild man, Um, I can't

8
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: say that I'm surprised though. It's a good move. I

9
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: think it's a good move for the Broncos. I mean

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: case Keenan versus Flacco always. Basically, I mean this is

11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: his his last shot to keep that spot right. I say,

12
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: let's lets let's just get into this, Okay. So we

15
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: first let's do some moves. Actually, a first bit of

16
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:11,920

00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: All Right, as FABS alluded to, as we alluded to,

24
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: big news out of Denver. This news broke about forty

25
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: five minutes or so before we started recording this podcast.

26
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: The Denver Broncos have made a trade for Joe Flacco. Now,

27
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: the details are still sort of rolling in on this.

28
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: Uh you know Ian rapp Report. Uh, it's sort of

29
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: reporting ESPN. I believe had it first, but Rapp Report

30
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: has kind of chimed in and said, uh, what is

31
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: a a mid round, mid round, mid round draft pick?

32
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: Is what? Uh? The Ravens are getting back from the

33
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos looking like potentially a fourth round pick for

34
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. If you you seem to like this, I am.

35
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: I'm baffled for the If we're talking about just pure football,

36
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: it's an upgrade over case Keenum, is it not? I

37
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: don't think it is. I don't think it is. I

38
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: don't think it is okay at this at this point

39
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: in Joe Flacco's crew, now, um, maybe earlier in his

40
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: career when he could actually throw a deep ball, but

41
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: not anymore so. So you think that the Broccos don't

42
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: have a better shot at winning games with Flacco as

43
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: opposed to Case. I think it's about the same, maybe less.

44
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I just I disagree with that. I don't.

45
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: I looked at this trade and I thought, on one

46
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: I thought, John Elway has a type. Uh. He likes

47
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: big strong arm pockets or statues in the pocket. Uh.

48
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: And I just yeah, I mean, the the Ravens. At

49
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: some point, we're willing to take Lamar Jackson, who's still,

50
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: you know, as much as I like Lamar Jackson, still,

51
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, has a lot of work to do. They

52
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: were want to put Flacco on the bench for for

53
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. This is the guy that they gotta pay

54
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: eighteen and a half million dollars and paying him more

55
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: than they would have paid Keenum this year for production

56
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: that is not going to be significantly better, if better

57
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: at all, than what they got out of Case Keendum.

58
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: I look, I'm just gonna say it. John Elway is

59
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: bad at quarterbacks. Let's just let's just put let's stop

60
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 1: dancing around the issue. He's bad at quarterbacks, and they're

61
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: giving up a fourth round pick for a guy that

62
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be that much better they well,

63
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: I mean obviously outside of the Payton Man exciting, I

64
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: mean it's Brock Oswiler, Trevor Simeon, Paxton, land Case, Keenum,

65
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: and now Joe Flacco. Those are the guys he's kind

66
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: of hand picked. Um, I don't think given up a

67
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: fourth round or is that much for a guy who

68
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: I believe is going to be an upgrade the over

69
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: over what he has currently. I think the problem Marcus

70
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: is saying it's just it's the contract is that contract

71
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: is so from a football perspective, from fantasy, um, I

72
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: don't know, we'll talk about that in a sect, But

73
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: from a football perspective, I'm with with Marcus on this one.

74
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: It's like you're gonna trade for a you know, aging

75
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco who's got eighteen and twenty million dollars. But

76
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean, quarterbacks play up until they're late thirties. Joe

77
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: Flacker hasn't played well so in years, I mean reasonably well,

78
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: and now and now he's got to go to Denver.

79
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: And I mean Emmanuel Sanders has a pop achilles. They're

80
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: basically running out bunch of rookies behind him. They're offensively

81
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: hasn't been offensive by needs to improve, no question, a

82
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: great run offensively last year. Let's let's talk fantasy then.

83
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: I mean again, Joe Flacco got benched last year. Uh,

84
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, the deep ball has not really been great

85
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: for him lately. I mean maybe, I guess being in

86
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: the thin air of Denver it will help for eight

87
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: games a year, but potentially, um, I mean, even at

88
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: his best, Joe Flacco was kind of a mediocre fantasy quarterback.

89
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: That's not going to change you, right, And I don't

90
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: think that. I just don't think that changes. Yeah. To me,

91
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: it's more about like the pieces around him than what

92
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: Flacco's value is going to be. Because Flacco's value is

93
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: not going to change in Denver. He is going to

94
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: end up being a guy that's not drafted and will

95
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: be on the waiver wire to begin most nineteen fantasy

96
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: football seasons. Now where we have to really sort of

97
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: analyze what Flacco's impact will be in Denver is in

98
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: how it will affect Emmanuel Sanders, who of course is

99
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: coming off of injury, how it will affect Courtland Sutton,

100
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: who is going to end up being a sleeper slash

101
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: breakout candidate on a lot of analysts lists. Uh, same

102
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: thing with Dayshawn Hamilton's and how it will affect Philip Lindsay,

103
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman and those players around him, because we all

104
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: agree Flacco is not going to be a startuble asset

105
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: and fantasy leagues at least unless the matchup is tremendous.

106
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: But what does this mean for his young wide receivers

107
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: and Emmanuel Sanders when he's a part of it. Are

108
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: we even sure Emmanuel Sanders is going to be in

109
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: Denver this next year? Yeah, and that's the other aspect

110
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: of his I mean, right now it could be Sutton

111
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: and basically their their rookies, in which case John Elway

112
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: would have to make another move. Um, it's really interesting.

113
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna have to pay them eighteen and

114
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: a half million dollars that he's got two years left

115
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: on his on his deal, and then they haven't out

116
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: after this year. But he's Flacca was only thirty four.

117
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: And then we keep talking about Brady and Eli and

118
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: these guys hit in these ages close, but Flacco was

119
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: really young relative to them, even Big Ben and Breeze,

120
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: and he's he hit the wall to three years ago.

121
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, when I first read it was

122
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: my initial like gut reaction was just kind of, so,

123
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: does this make you want to draft Sutton more or

124
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: less or the same? Not just kind of I guess.

125
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: If anything, I'm just indifferent on this move. It's kind

126
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: of like, Okay, we'll see how goes. I mean, I'm

127
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: not expecting ceilings and I'm not expecting I just pure dread.

128
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: I mean, as long as he can hand the ball

129
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: off to Philip Lindsay, I guess we're really okay. Yeah,

130
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: I guess that's the biggest thing. Philip get the ball,

131
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: and he can Philip Lindsay still get fourteen carries in

132
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: his five six targets a game. If he can, if

133
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: you can, I'm happy. One thing that's notable, And obviously

134
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: it's different because you know, different offensive coordinators, different offensive philosophies, etcetera.

135
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: But the Ravens never had a top fifteen PPR wide

136
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: receiver when Joe Flacco was quarterback. Obviously that's because they

137
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: just tended to run the football. But over the last

138
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: few seasons of Flacco's tenure in Baltimore, I mean, he

139
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: was slaying it a ton, and it didn't really equate

140
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: too great production from any of his wide receiver. I mean,

141
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco's y p A has been under six point

142
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: four six excuse me, six point five yards per tempt

143
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: in three straight seasons, and in that span he's only

144
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: average six point two yards per attempt the league averages

145
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: seven point yards. I mean, she's just not been good

146
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: a very very long time, low touchdown rate, high interception

147
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: rate to I mean, it's just I don't I don't

148
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: really get it. I mean, he you basically just bought

149
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: an eighteen and a half million dollar case Keenum rental.

150
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: I feel like when we look at that might be

151
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: a bargain compared to what the Cardinals paid Sam Bradford

152
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: last Sea. It's true. I just feel like people look

153
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,679
Speaker 1: at Joe Flacco. I feel like the thing that comes

154
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: to mind is that incredible playoff run he had and

155
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl victory, and because I remember after that,

156
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: I remember writing the year after that, and I don't

157
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: think I was alone in this, but that hey, don't

158
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: overdraft Joe Flacco based on what you saw in the postseason,

159
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: that he has been an average fantasy quarterback. And I

160
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: caught some heat on Twitter for it, like because it's

161
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: Twitter and whatever you write is going to draw some heat.

162
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: But you know, I just think that, you know, I

163
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: think we sort of conflate that. I mean, this is

164
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: a guy who has never thrown thirty touchdowns in a

165
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: season ever, uh in his career. Last year he had

166
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: six interceptions, which was his fewest, but that's also because

167
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: he only played nine games. I mean, you know, he's

168
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: never touched four thousand yards. I mean, he has been

169
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: just an average quarterback. His his best rank among quarterbacks

170
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: in his career was in two thousand and ten, when

171
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: he was ten. His his next best rank was in

172
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: two thousand and twelve, and in his final couple of seasons.

173
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: There is final couple of full seasons there in in

174
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, he was twenty. So not very good, but

175
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: that's what we projected. I mean, when when Flacco is traded,

176
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: there was really no change to his his fantasy value

177
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: and that he's not going to be drafted. He's a

178
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: guy who's going to be on the waiver wire, maybe

179
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: a matchup based option at times. But to me, it's

180
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: more about how does Flacco affect the young players around

181
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: him that we are going to end up drafting Sutton,

182
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: Hamilton's Philip Lindsay is still going to be Philip Lindsay.

183
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: I think he's still gonna get his touches. He's gonna

184
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 1: be fine, But how does he affect these younger players

185
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: in the offense? And to me, I'd rather see Flacco

186
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: slinging the ball to him than case Keenum. But it's

187
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: not It's not a ridiculously gigantic wow, this is this

188
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: is great Keenum to Flacco. To me, it's an upgrade,

189
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: but it's a very slight upgrade. Yeah, that's fair. I mean,

190
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: if anything, I think my I think my broader point though,

191
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: with this Bronco's offense right now, it's just so much

192
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: there's a lot of question marks there. I mean, but

193
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: I mean, like you know, last week we talked about

194
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: the Dolphins being, you know, a potential fantasy waste land

195
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: the Broncos, depending on how things go, you could have

196
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: Philip Linds And that's kind of maybe not much else,

197
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: especially when you talk about players that are giving you

198
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: a consistent level of production. Courtland, Sutton, DeShawn Hamilton's, like

199
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: I mentioned, we'll see speaking of question marks, Antonio Brown.

200
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: He tweeted a goodbye, that's time to move on. He

201
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: did a little slickly edited video that he put out

202
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Uh, he used some little oozy vert I

203
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: do what I want as the background music. You know,

204
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: not at all trying to send a message to what's

205
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: going to happen. So Antonio Brown has said he wants out,

206
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: This is not really a surprise. This thing has been

207
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: dragging for a while and I think is going to

208
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: drag a little while longer. Um, I mean, fabs, It's

209
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: all well and good, but like as somebody joked, our

210
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: Twitter pal Charles McDonald to write for sp Nation, joke

211
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: that this is like it's like in the office when

212
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: Michael Scott walks out and declares bankruptcy and just thinks

213
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: that somehow you can't just declare free agent. See like,

214
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: it's nice for you to put this I'm moving on thing,

215
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: But until the Steelers actually do something, an Tonio Brown

216
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: still a Steeler and from a fantasy perspective, I hate this. Guys,

217
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: get in a room and figure it out. I mean,

218
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: come on, because there is no team in the NFL

219
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: that Antonio Brown could legitimately go to where his value

220
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: is going to be as high as it is right

221
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: now in Pittsburgh. He's got a great rapport with Ben Roethlisberger.

222
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: He's been one of the best wide receivers statistically and

223
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective that we've ever seen. Uh Ian

224
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: Rapp reports reporting that the Steelers deadline potentially could be

225
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: March seventeen, because that's when a b is do a

226
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: two point five million dollar roster bonus. He won't be

227
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: traded within the division, he won't be traded to the Patriots.

228
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: Where where could the Steelers potentially trade him? And the

229
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: contract is gonna make it tough to move him as

230
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: well too, because he's making a lot of money. And

231
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: this is not like the Levy on Bill situation. You know,

232
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: AB's under contract. So if he decides, well, the Steelers

233
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: are gonna trade me, I'm not gonna play. He's gonna

234
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: be missing game checks and they're gonna find him. So

235
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna end up, uh missing out on

236
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: a lot of money and then having money taken out

237
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: of his out of his wallet. So if the Steelers

238
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: do find a suitor, and I'm sure there's gonna be

239
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: a lot of teams, And who wouldn't want Antonio Brown?

240
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: Where can he go legitimately where his value is going

241
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: to be what it is in Pittsburgh, Indy, Indianapolis? I mean,

242
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: would you who? In Look, I love t Y Hilton,

243
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: He's great. I'd take Antonio Brown over t Y Hilton.

244
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: You pairing him with Andrew Luck. They've got cap space,

245
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: They've got all kind of room there. I mean Indianapolis.

246
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: And it's not it's not it's in the a f C,

247
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: but it's not in division. So if you're the Steelers

248
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 1: are not gonna have to face him twice a year, um,

249
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: and the Colts wouldn't have to care about the contracted

250
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: to eat it. And like he his value would be

251
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: as good as you're pretty close to as good as

252
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: it is in Pittsburgh. Okay, I think we all want

253
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 1: Bell and a B just to reunite in Indianapolis this year.

254
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: I think of that. I think that's yeah. You think

255
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of Jets fans out there that would

256
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: love to see that happen in the Big Apple. I

257
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: mean sure, I'm sure they would. You know, I don't

258
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: have a fantasy owner. I don't want that, but I

259
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: know that, Uh, also have a lot of cap space

260
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: as well. I mean having having Antonio Brown go to

261
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: the Jets. Uh. You know, if if if Bell decides

262
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: to come with him, that helps Sam Donald, right, it

263
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: elevates another quarterback in an already deep position. But suddenly

264
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: Sam Donald has a little bit more value. Um, so

265
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson gets pushed down. But whatever. So outside of

266
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: the Colts then, I mean, you know, the team that

267
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: everyone is is mentioning is the forty Niners because of

268
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: everything that happened with Jerry Rice making the mentions about

269
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: a B you know, potentially going there. And to me,

270
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: there's there's no better place for Brown to be from

271
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective than exactly where he is right now,

272
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: and that's Pittsburgh. And if that is a is a

273
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: fractured relationship that cannot be mended. And it seems as

274
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: if that's the case, he's gonna end up going someplace else,

275
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: and unless it's a team like the Colts, his fantasy

276
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: value is going to decline. I don't or how good

277
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: he is. So here's here's the other question. And you know,

278
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a definitive answer to this one. Graham.

279
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: But we've seen that the Steelers will do what the

280
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: Steelers are gonna do. We saw that last year with

281
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: Levian Bell, Right, they offered him this deal, He's like,

282
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: I don't want it. They didn't really bother to come

283
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: back to the table, and he sat out an entire season.

284
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown wants out. Now, the Steelers could be obstinate

285
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: and decide we're not gonna trade you. I mean that

286
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: feels sort of like cutting off your nose despite your face.

287
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: But would the Steelers really be so hard nos this

288
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: and just say, you know what, you're gonna play for us,

289
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: or you're not gonna play for anybody this year. I

290
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: don't think that's the situation. I think, like fabsoluted to

291
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: this is entirely different. Just because Bell was searching for

292
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: a new deal and a B is in the middle

293
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: of a pretty big one as it is, Um, that's

294
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: still the big clearing block. Just ab no that Like

295
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: if you tweet a video of you leaving like that

296
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: you want out, You're still not traded. Not trade like

297
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: you're not cut your team. I mean, what are they

298
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: gonna do when they come when we're sitting here in

299
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: June July and AB still wants out and they still

300
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: haven't found a trade partner, Like, is he just gonna

301
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: come back? Like, I don't know. To me, I I

302
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: think I've I've changed my mood. At first, I kind

303
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: of thought it was kind of crazy. I didn't think

304
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: they could trade the contract because it was obscene. And

305
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: then obviously we've now heard that the owner and a

306
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: B and everybody's been so vocal that he's leaving. I

307
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: guess we can truly accept it now. But again, we

308
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: keep spinning our heads trying to find trade partners, and

309
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: really the only one that actually like makes some modicum

310
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: of senses is Indie and maybe New York. But other

311
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: than that, even New York then yeah, you know, but

312
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: in terms of fantasy, yeah, catching passes from Sam Donald

313
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: is a heck of a lot different than catching passes

314
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: from Ben Roethlisberger. And if he ends up, you know,

315
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: if he ends up in the Colts, he's probably gonna

316
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: still being a top five guy, although t Y Hilton

317
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: is in the mix there as well. Eric Ebrons in

318
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: the mix there as well. If he goes to the Jets,

319
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, Sam, you know, Sam Donald's got a

320
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: heck of a lot of upside, but he has not

321
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, and and that offense is not going to

322
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: be conducive to Antonio round catching balls. Let's take this

323
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: the flip side. Abe's going to be thirty one this year, Um,

324
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: what are the chances that you know, maybe he only

325
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: has a few more good years left, And at this

326
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: point in his career, I think we need to be

327
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: more concerned about the volume and the targets he may

328
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: receive and wherever offense he goes than his actual skill

329
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: skill level, because at this point, I mean, he's going

330
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: to hit the age cliff here pretty soon, unless he

331
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: truly is at Jerry Rice two point out, in which

332
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: case he'll be bawling out to him like Jerry did.

333
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: Abe has no leverage here either, like none, and he's

334
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: good contract, he's thirty one years old, and he continually

335
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: does things that negates his leverage, Like what is that

336
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: helping you? Except though the other part of it is

337
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: that he has also sunk the Steelers leverage. I mean

338
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: at this point, at this point, like if it's sort

339
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: of a situation where if I'm going down, I'm bringing

340
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: everybody with me, because at least everybody knows. Like he's

341
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: basically said, I don't want to be here anymore. Right,

342
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: the Steelers have pretty much said, we don't want you

343
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: to be here anymore. So if I'm another team, why

344
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: am I gonna why am I gonna offer up you know,

345
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: everything in the world to get Antonio? But it's like, hey, look,

346
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: you you're stuck with this anchor on your roster right now.

347
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: If they end up dealing him, it's going to be

348
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: like a second or third round pick. There's no way

349
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: that they're going to get any sort of huge comparable

350
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,479
Speaker 1: um first, first or second round pick from if If

351
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: we've learned anything, the Steelers have totally bungled both Levy

352
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: on Bell Antonio Brown situations. Now, I mean they're they're

353
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: gonna be bottom of the barrel trying to get some

354
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: compensation for both of their once absolute star players. Oh Man,

355
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: another team with some cap space. I don't know if

356
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: they're in the market for Antonio Brown, but they found

357
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: a running back that's the Cleveland Browns. They signed Kareem Hunt,

358
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: who we've talked about the on this show. Before last

359
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: we talked about him he was maybe being targeted by

360
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles. That obviously didn't happen. The Browns have signed him.

361
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: He's still facing a suspension after being released by the

362
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs last year after the video emerged of him assaulting

363
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: a woman in a hotel. Um. Now, you know, aside

364
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: from obviously the off field stuff and what that means,

365
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 1: just from an on field perspective, Uh, I'm sure you

366
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: guys kind of did h like I mean, obviously, talent wise,

367
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: the fact that he's young, that he's very talented, you

368
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: understand why it's he would want that after they unlocked though,

369
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: the power of Nick Chubb this past seasons why, I mean,

370
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: it's it's the Dorsey connection. I mean, to me, that's

371
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: that's that's a big part of it. And when I

372
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: saw this news, I was thinking, Man, if you're a

373
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: Nick Chub owner in a dynasty or a keeper league,

374
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 1: you are just pissed, Like because he was coming off

375
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: of a tremendous season, a guy who was at this

376
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: point second round pick in redrafts. I would think, I mean,

377
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: no worse than the second round pick. And now we

378
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: don't know what the suspension is going to be. I've

379
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: seen rumors out there that it could be as much

380
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: as ten games. We don't know what it is, so

381
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: we can't really make a concrete analysis of the situation

382
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: until we find out how many games that he's going

383
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: to be lost for. But it looks like at some

384
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: point during the course of the two thousand and nineteen

385
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: season that Kareem Hunt is going to be playing for

386
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, and that in and of itself is

387
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: denting the value of Nick Chubb, because whether it's six games,

388
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: whether it's ten games, at some point Kareem Hunt is

389
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: going to be a member of the Browns and play

390
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: for this team. And this is one of the best

391
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: young running backs in the league. Okay, I get the

392
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: off field stuff, Marcus has mentioned that, but he's one

393
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: of the best young running backs in the league. You

394
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: don't make this move without thinking, this is a player

395
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: who in an offense that suddenly is on the rise.

396
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: With Freddie Kitchens and Baker Mayfield and and and what

397
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: they showed at the end of last season, this offense

398
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: is on the rise. He's another weapon, and he's a

399
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: better pass catcher than Nick Chubb. Does this eventually end

400
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: up being a committee situation. Will you have Nick Chubb

401
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: as your featured back for say ten games, and then

402
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt comes in and suddenly throws a wrench in

403
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: the entire mix. So this, this one is difficult because

404
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: after this season, I believe Hunt would be a restricted

405
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: free agent. It's it's it's going to be a difficult

406
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: scenario to navigate until we know exactly how many games

407
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: Hunt is suspended. And unless it's for the entire season,

408
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: which I don't know that it would be, this is

409
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: going to be something hanging over the heads of Nick

410
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: Chubb owners all season loss. So to your point about

411
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: the contract situation, um Hunt is under contract, but it's

412
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: kind of a weird thing. So if he does not

413
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: accrue six games this year, let's say he gets suspended

414
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: for the whole year, the Browns I think would then

415
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: have they would basically toll over his contract. He did

416
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: not have an accrued season, I think they would have

417
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: his rights through regardless. They have Kareem Hunts rights for

418
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: the next two seasons. Do the Browns just hate Duke Johnson?

419
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: That was my next question. I mean, brown they gave

420
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: him a nice contract and then suddenly they know a

421
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: great contract ten No. Eight and they don't use him

422
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: in top ten running back, and John Dorsey is saying

423
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: that he's not expendable. The hell does that mean yet? Yet?

424
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't get it. You know what, you

425
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen markets is they're gonna end up

426
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: trading him to like the Dolphins, and then that's gonna

427
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: just submarine, and then we have to worry about Nick

428
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 1: Chubb's value in Cleveland as well. You know, I just

429
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: I keep coming back to the fact that, you know,

430
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson is sort of cursed by being he is.

431
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: He really is the jack of all trades, master of none.

432
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: I keep saying he's a He's a good running back,

433
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: but they have better running backs. He's a good receiver,

434
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: but they have better receivers, and the Browns aren't. They

435
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: haven't figured out how to use him. They kind of

436
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: want him as the Swiss army knife, but then they

437
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: keep adding pieces that make him more and more irrelevant.

438
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: He you know what he is. He is. He's like

439
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: a utility infielder in baseball. Right spring training is starting,

440
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: he really is that utility in fielders Joseo Kendo. He is.

441
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 1: He's that guy. I mean, he literally is. He's Keiking

442
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: Hernandez right, he can play second thing, he can play

443
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: with left field. You know, he could do whatever. He

444
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: can pinch hit for you. That's great for you know,

445
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: roster construction. It's great to have on him in your

446
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: starting line You don't want him in your lineup, you know,

447
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: so for for fantasy. You just look at Duke Johnson.

448
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: You shake your head and you just wonder what could

449
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: have been. Um. I loved him coming out of college.

450
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: I thought he was great coming out of Miami, and

451
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: he just he just has never had a great fit

452
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, and Creame Hunt being there is is certainly

453
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: not gonna help things. Uh. Last bit of news, the

454
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: Houston Texans have released the Merriest Thomas. He played seven

455
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: games there after being traded mid season by the Denver Broncos.

456
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: Had he came out of the box great, like the

457
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: first quarter of his first game with the Texans. He

458
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: had a bunch of catches, he had a couple of touchdowns,

459
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: and then we didn't really hear much from him after that.

460
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: Then he got injured and missed the rest of the season.

461
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Graham, I would expect somebody's going to pick

462
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: him up and bring him in and during training camp.

463
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: But I think we have probably seen the last of

464
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: the merriest Thomas as a top line fantasy starter at

465
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: this point. Alright. It was some of the best years

466
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: we had with d t in in Peyton just to

467
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: automatic and fantasy. But I think I think you're reading well. Once,

468
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: I mean, once Peyton was gone, really, Damarius Thomas's value

469
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: started to sink, and I think we all sort of

470
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: expected that. And this is this is a tough injury

471
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: to come back from, and this is his second Yeah. So,

472
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be thirty two this year. It's it's

473
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: a yeah, he's His birthday is actually on Christmas Day.

474
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: I believe it is. I think so, Yeah, Christmas. He's

475
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: a Christmas baby. The only other, like really famous Christmas

476
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: Day baby I know is Ricky Henderson. I don't know

477
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: why I know that, but Ricky Henderson is a Christmas

478
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: Day baby. Yeah, I'm looking at the stretchteen. He caught

479
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: a combined thirty five touchdowns in that stretch average just

480
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: about fifteen hundred yards season. He was awesome. It was

481
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: it was incredible. He mean, this is a guy who was,

482
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, a top three probably wide receiver fantasy eyes

483
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: during that stretch and uh, you know, father time catches

484
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: up to us all So I said, I would expect

485
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: that someone will sign him and bring him in by

486
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: the time we hit training camp. But the Texans really

487
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: need will full Or to stay healthy. Yeah, they do.

488
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: And then pek Qt is gonna obviously be one of

489
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: those you know, deep sleeper types. A lot of people

490
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: are gonna be talking about one of their seven teen

491
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: tight ends. If you could just you know, catch on

492
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: and do something. Um, I mean using Texans have like

493
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: literally they just roll tight ends out. I don't know

494
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: if they just do like a couldn't was there last

495
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: like I mean c J. Fedoro which was kind of

496
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: PPR relevant slightly, but like the last was it like

497
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: Owen Daniels was like the last time they had that

498
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: was They're like the Ravens. Yeah, the Texans in the Ravens,

499
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: they just it's like they you know, it's like they

500
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: just pulled tight ends out of a hat and they

501
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: bring them in. So there you go. That is pretty

502
00:24:47,920 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: much everything you need to know. All right, we are

503
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: fully into draft season. That's season s z N, as

504
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: they like to say on Twitter dot com. Um, obviously

505
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: we'll talk a lot more about it, you know, as

506
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: we get to the Combine and we get fully into

507
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: the draft season itself. But the big news that came

508
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: out recently that Kyler Murray, the two sports star from

509
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: the University of Oklahoma, has finally committed to pursuing his

510
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: career as an NFL quarterback. Obviously, the Oakland A's are

511
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: disappointed by it. They spent a draft pick on him

512
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: and gave him some guaranteed money, hoping that he would

513
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: choose baseball. He has not. Apparently, the A's found out

514
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: the same way the rest of us found out on Twitter.

515
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: So I'm sure folks in Oakland are a little bit

516
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: peeved about that. But now we know that he is

517
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: fully committed to playing in the National Football League, So

518
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: now the talk begins. If you haven't heard Kyler Murray's

519
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: name too much already, you will have heard it too

520
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: much by the time we get to April. I can

521
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: guarantee you that. But I didn't want to kind of

522
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: take a look at him and and sort of figure

523
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,719
Speaker 1: out where he slots early on in this thing. Daniel

524
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: Jeremiah has put out his first of what will be

525
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: many I'm sure mock drafts his scouting report, you can

526
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: go check out he tweeted out a couple of days ago.

527
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: You can also find it at NFL dot com. I

528
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: would imagine NFL dot com slash mock draft might be

529
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: where you can find that. I'm gonna gonna type that

530
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: in right now and see if that if that's worth

531
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: if it works. Uh, yes, nineteen mock Draft Central, So

532
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: although that doesn't have DJs, it has uh has Morris Jones,

533
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: Drew Chad Reuder, Lances Airline, and Buckey Brooks. So I

534
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: would get dj has moved up in the world. Now

535
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: it's the Mike Mayock treat me now because remember mayok

536
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: like wouldn't do a mock draft until like right before

537
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: the actual draft, so maybe DJs. But I thought DJJ

538
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,959
Speaker 1: has done one has just apparently now he has just

539
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 1: been separated from everybody else. So I'm sure you can

540
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: find at NFL dot com. If not, just go to

541
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 1: his Twitter account which has moved the sticks uh and

542
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: you can find it there. But just some highlights from

543
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: his scouting report of Kyler Murray lacks ideal heightened bulk,

544
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: has dynamic arm strength, doesn't work deep into progressions on

545
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: a consistent basis electric runner. Um. So, I mean that's

546
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: kind of I feel like that's sort of the consensus

547
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: on him right now. Um. Yeah. I read on Twitter

548
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: too where someone had compared Murray to Lamar Jackson, but

549
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: but DJ had suggested much better in terms of his accuracy.

550
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: Uh and and what he can do with the football

551
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: is a thrower. Baker Mayfield basically broke um PFF suggested

552
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: completion percentage last year, which suggested drops and like black

553
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 1: like spike spike pass and stuff like that. Um. Last year,

554
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: Mayfield suggested completion percentage I think was Kyler. Murray's last

555
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: year is seventy seven. And we all know Oklahoma's offense

556
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: obviously is schemed to have open throws and they kind

557
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: of spread it out a little bit and there's they

558
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: on average their quarterback will have a higher completion rate

559
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: um than the rest of Hodge football. But that being said, yeah,

560
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: Kyler accuracy wise is far far superior then when Lamar

561
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: Jackson was coming out right. Yeah, and I think you

562
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: know that that he definitely has a step on. Um.

563
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: I mean it really is sort of a mixed bag.

564
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: The accuracy is there, the arm strength is there, the

565
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: size is going to worry people, but in fact, the

566
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: fact that he can obviously move in and out of

567
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: the pocket is something that potentially gives him an advantage

568
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: now where he goes. Obviously, we we have no idea

569
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: just yet. The Lions say they would consider drafting a

570
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: quarterback at number eight, Marie could certainly still be there

571
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: at number eight. Uh, the Cardinals have been rumored to

572
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: maybe be eyeing him at number one. Overall, what that

573
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: means for Josh Rosen still remains to be seen. But

574
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: you know now the Cardinals are saying, you know that

575
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: that's not true. That you know that they they right

576
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: now say they're committed to Josh Rosen and that's why

577
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: that's why they brought in Cliff Kingsbury and try and

578
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: help him out. Um, So my first question is Graham

579
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: and he be? Can he be an impact player in

580
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen? Like could he get drafted this year? And

581
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: midway through the season we're talking about him fantasy because

582
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,959
Speaker 1: he can run. I don't care. I mean even if

583
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 1: he is inaccurate. Um, like Lamar Jackson, I don't care

584
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: if he can run times a game. Yeah, hell yeah,

585
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: I want him in fantasy. We want these guys that

586
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: can run around and do crazy, crazy things. Josh Allen

587
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: just did it. I know it was crazy too. I

588
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: I posted, Uh, I'm posting my positional consistency rankings from

589
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: last year. And like, Josh Allen was one of the

590
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: the four or five quarterbacks who had the most top

591
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: five finishes and it was all of because of what

592
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: he could do with his feet. That just Josh Allen

593
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: seasons just hilt off. The just the Josh Allen season

594
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: made my head hurt, man, because it was like you

595
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: watched him and you're like, this dude's throwing for like

596
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: a hundred and seventy yards per game, but he's like

597
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: running for a hundred and seventy yards per game. It

598
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: was just it's just because like you didn't see it coming.

599
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: He was of all the quarterbacks we talked about. We

600
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: never talked about Josh Allen in terms of his running ability,

601
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: but here he is like leaping over linebackers and like

602
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: trucking people. The whole thing just made mine. So so

603
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,959
Speaker 1: here's the actual stat he played in twelve games as

604
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: a rookie, UH finished forty seven percent of his starts.

605
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: As a top ten fantasy quarterback, and all five of

606
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: his top tens were top fives. So that's like, I mean,

607
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: I get it earlier in the season not so not

608
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: so great, but when he played a decent percentage of

609
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: his performances, he was like a top ten fantasy quarterback

610
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: or a top five fantasy. It was ridiculous. It's gonna

611
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: be very interesting to see where he ends up being

612
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: drafted because the Bills have nothing around him, effensively nothing.

613
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: He led the Bills in rushing I mean, which which

614
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: and Leshawn McCoy is on that It says, you know,

615
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: maybe as much about what happened with Shady this year

616
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: as it does Josh Allen. I mean, Alan had six

617
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: and thirty one yard Leshawn McCoy five thirty five fourteen

618
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: Um I I I shudder to think that would happen again,

619
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: that he's going to lead the team in rushing yards. UM. So,

620
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, is there a coach or

621
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: an offense out there that you see that that is

622
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: best suited to Kyler? Because that's the one thing about it,

623
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: the one the early part of the conversation about Kyler

624
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: Murray is that a lot of these old school NFL

625
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: guys who love big, tall quarterbacks. Ce Lway, Comma John Um,

626
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: We'll look at Kyler Murray and say he's not gonna fit,

627
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: we can't use it, we don't want and we're not

628
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: gonna draft him. But now we've got a kind of

629
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: a new wave of play callers and schemers out there

630
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: who are trying to figure out how to best make

631
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: the skill sets of some of these guys work. So,

632
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, did you guys look around and you see

633
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: a team or a coach where Kyler Murray steps in

634
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: and and and even if he's not a super stud

635
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: right away, they can at least build an offense to

636
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: kind of what teams out there looking for quarterbacks? Are

637
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: we in agreement that is gonna be in the meirst

638
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: round pick? I think yes, and I I would suggest

639
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: that's true unless something is crazy. Unless something crazy. So

640
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: the Giants are gonna be looking for a quarterback. Um,

641
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: but but Haskins could end up being on the board

642
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: at that point when they pick at number six. The Jaguars,

643
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: the Lions potentially if they're really looking to replace Matthew Stafford.

644
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: If if that reports too true, that is potentially an

645
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: option to The Dolphins don't have a quarterback either right now,

646
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: so they're gonna be looking at that position. The Redskins

647
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: with the question marks surrounding Alex Smith looking for a

648
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: quarterback as well, not going to play next year, and

649
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,719
Speaker 1: so I mean, and at that point, once you get

650
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: past that, I don't know that Murray would be available,

651
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: and uh the so basically you're looking at the Redskins

652
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: that maybe fifteen that would be that that would be

653
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: the last spot where I don't know that Murray would

654
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: even be there at that point. I mean, unless and

655
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: obviously there's always the chance of one of these teams

656
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: trades up potentially to try to get him. Of course,

657
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: of course, see what happened there. But it's such a

658
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: weird draft this year because really three of the first

659
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: twelve teams picking have needs at quarterback, the Jags, the Giants,

660
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: and then you could kind of throw some teams in there,

661
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: like the Lions or the Bucks of the Bengals, but

662
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: like outside of that, I mean, the Broncos just traded

663
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: for Joe Flacco, the Raiders are gonna keep Derek Carr,

664
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: have Garoppolo, and the Cardinals are gonna stick with with

665
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: Rosen I mean maybe Miami at third team, but other

666
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: than that, I mean, it's just gonna be some team

667
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: is going to have to trade four, they're gonna have

668
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: to move up and into the draft. Because this is

669
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: in terms of just how this draft is laid out

670
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: right now. Unless there's a few more big trades, which

671
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: they're very well could be, there's just not really an

672
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: I don't really see, like, Okay, this is the common

673
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: sense like most likely landings and historically what position is

674
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: the one that teams are most likely to move up.

675
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: And sometimes it's even irrationally because you know, I'll go

676
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: back to like you know, you know, drafting Achille Smith.

677
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: I mean, like the Bengals, there's a there's there's a

678
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: massive list, a laundry list of of bus that go

679
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: in the first round at the quarterback position because they

680
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: didn't belong there, but people are willing to take chances

681
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: on them, you know, Christian pond Er, the list goes

682
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: on and on and on. Kyle Bowler, there's a ton

683
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: of them, so sore, there's just there's a ton of

684
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: I mean, these are guys that just I mean that

685
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: are just coming coming off the top of my head. Um,

686
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, Murray is gonna end up getting drafted in

687
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: the first round, and he maybe end up getting drafted

688
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: higher than he should because teams out there are gonna

689
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: have that need quarterback. They see a guy who's dynamic,

690
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: they see maybe a better version of Lamar Jackson because

691
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: of what he could do with his arm as well.

692
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: The size questions are certainly going to be there, and

693
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: I think you know, he's also going to be tied

694
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: to Baker Mayfield as well. So this is a player

695
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: who who I believe likely will be a top ten

696
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: pick and I wouldn't be surprised if it were the

697
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: Giants or the Jaguars who ended up getting him. If

698
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 1: one of those teams don't get him, someone likely will

699
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: trade up to acquire him. Maybe that's the Dolphins who

700
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: are right now at thirteen. Are we going to and

701
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: when I say we, I mean the Football war Old Obviously,

702
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is incredibly talented. He used a two sport athlete.

703
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: This is a guy who had a chance and still

704
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: has a chance to play professionally into sports. But also

705
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: the consensus as of it, you know, even a month ago,

706
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: was that this is kind of an if the QB draft.

707
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: Right if the offensive draft, I mean this is this

708
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: is a very defensive heavy draft. We're we're going to

709
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: talk ourselves into Kyler Murray as a franchise quarterback, aren't we.

710
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: Like a month ago, it was like, hey, all these

711
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: guys have potential, but they have a learning curve. Now

712
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: we're talking about teams trading up and look it's not

713
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: it's not unfounded, but we're talking about teams trading up

714
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: for Kyler Murray. We're gonna talk ourselves into making him

715
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: and Dwayne Haskins and what maybe Drew Lock into potential

716
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 1: what if not franchise quarterbacks then at least solid stop gaps.

717
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: When you know a month ago, we we weren't sure

718
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: what the draft every season, I mean, you guys know

719
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: it every season. And some of the players that I'm

720
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: ention and there's a hell of a lot more, there

721
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: are more first round quarterback bus and there are guys

722
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: that were drafted in the first round who ended up

723
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: being stars and meeting expectations in the National Football League. Again,

724
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: that list is very long. So with with the the

725
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: small number of quarterbacks out there that people are going

726
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: to promote as potential franchise options, I mean, Murray's stock

727
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: is on the rights here. Here's one question though, and

728
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: and I know there's been reports sort of on either

729
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: side of this, but if Murray ends up getting drafted

730
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: by a team that he doesn't prefer to play for,

731
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: does he then leverage his situation and say I'm gonna

732
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 1: play baseball? I mean, maybe I'll go play baseball. I

733
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: mean the John Elway move. Yeah, I don't know that

734
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: was the that was the Lway, you know, the I mean,

735
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: Murray says he's fully committed to playing quarterbacks, so I

736
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: mean we take him at his word. But I mean,

737
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 1: you know, John Elway got drafted by the Colt said

738
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: I don't want to be a cult and said I'm

739
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: gonna go play baseball. I think I think the Yankees

740
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: actually looked at him. Yeah, no, yeah, right, And you

741
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: know what, and that that will haunt me. So if

742
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: you remember ESPN did uh. I don't know if it

743
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: was a thirty for thirty, can't remember, but it was

744
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 1: about that that draft class with you know, with Marino

745
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: and all the great quarterbacks that were that were a

746
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: part of that. And it's shocking to look at some

747
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks who were drafted ahead of Dan Marino,

748
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: and uh um, if you're a Miami Dolphins fan, you're

749
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: laughing all the way wait at the bank there. But

750
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: there was a scenario We're the Cowboys and I'm a

751
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys fan. If you didn't know that already, you probably

752
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: already did, where the Cowboys were going to acquire, uh

753
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: the rights to Elway and the trade would have involved

754
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: Danny White, who was one of my favorite players. And

755
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: it didn't end up happening, and all my goodness, gracious,

756
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: how that could have changed. I mean, obviously the Cowboys

757
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: at that point. Maybe don't get Troy Aitman, you know,

758
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: but I mean, like, imagine, Elway was very close to

759
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: being a member of the Dallas Cowboys, so very close.

760
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: So he almost played for two of your favorite teams

761
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: and for none exactly. Yeah, all right, so we will

762
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: talk I'm sure plating more Kyler Murray and a whole

763
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: lot of other draft prospects as we get closer to

764
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: draft time. But guys that are currently in the league,

765
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: uh fabs, you put together your top two hundred last week.

766
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,959
Speaker 1: Now a a caveat for everybody out there. This list

767
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: originally which you can find by the way NFL dot

768
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: com slash Fabiano. But it was originally written last wee

769
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: because I mentioned so Kareem Hunt hadn't signed yet. Obviously,

770
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: the Joe Flacco trade hadn't happened yet, Antonio Brown hadn't

771
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: tweeted out his cryptic goodbye message yet. So that's just

772
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: the just the heads up for everybody out there in

773
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: case you go check out this list and wonder why

774
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: some things are as they are, and I'm sure you

775
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: will update it too as Yeah, Like I mean, the

776
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: Flacco trade can become official. Uh So, so I'm not

777
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: gonna change that. I don't know what's going on with

778
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, so he's not moving. Uh The only thing

779
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: I gonna really change about cream Hunt is that he's

780
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: no longer a free agent because I don't know how

781
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: many games he's gonna be suspended for US. So uh

782
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 1: So at the top, the first thing is sa Quan

783
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: at number one. I mean, that's that's not a surprise.

784
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: I feel like everybody is going to plant their flag

785
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 1: for a guy over the next couple of months. You

786
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: have planted yours for sake, quant On Todd Gurley at

787
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: three with with Zeke Sandwich did in between, um I

788
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: would think, especially PPR wise. I mean, what sake One

789
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: did was was insane this year. This is you know me,

790
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I don't bother with this standard stuff.

791
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: Um I I'm all in on PPR, have been for

792
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,479
Speaker 1: a while, and sakon Barkley's coming off the greatest rookie

793
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: season of all time. Like he came out of Penn

794
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: State with all of the expectations being sky high and

795
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: he exceeded them. He was the first rookie running back

796
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: with two plus carries and a hundred plus targets. The

797
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: guy is an offensive juggernaut and he's what twenty one

798
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: years old. I mean, you could make an argument for

799
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: any number of five or six guys to be the

800
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: number one overall pick. Just turned twenty two, actually, I

801
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 1: mean a week ago, happy birthday. So this is a

802
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: situation like if you if you said, I I like

803
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:56,240
Speaker 1: early okay, Zeke, Yeah, okay, I get it. Christian McCaffrey PPR, Okay,

804
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, I get it, even avocamera depending on what

805
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: happens with the mark Ingram situation in there. He's a

806
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 1: free agent, okay, But Barkley is like literally like the

807
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 1: most well rounded, dynamic running back to come into this

808
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: league in a while, and there's been a lot of

809
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: good running backs coming into this league. And we are back,

810
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: and I love it. And I've said it before. We

811
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: are in maybe one of the best eras of of

812
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: running backs we're entering it right now because we've got

813
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: so many good young running backs in the league. Uh.

814
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: And then you add Jacobs to the mix here, who's

815
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: going to be drafted probably in the first round, and

816
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: you got another guy who could potentially be very solid.

817
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: So it's a very exciting time for the running back

818
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: truthers like myself out there. But what I saw in

819
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 1: say Kuan, and how consistent he was, and how reliable

820
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: he was, and how he was the offense, and how

821
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: just I can't say enough good things about this kid. Um.

822
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: I I fully expect him to end up being It's

823
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 1: not going to be consensus, but I would say there's

824
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a higher percentage of of fantasy leagues or

825
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: say Kuans the number one on. I haven't knitted out

826
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do yet, but um yeah, I think

827
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: that's where the chalk will be. I think I think

828
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: we'll see this summer a huge push for sake one

829
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: and one, because not only is he I mean awesome,

830
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: but he's like, you know, he's only twenty two. He's

831
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 1: young and exciting, and we're expecting to get like four

832
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 1: inner touches. Um. Yeah, I'm still pushing the the dark

833
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: Horse Christian McCaffrey narrative, just just to break it up,

834
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: just so we have something to to debate. But I

835
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: am leaning towards Yeah. I think by the time we

836
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,479
Speaker 1: get to August, most people will be on Sa Kuan.

837
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: I think that's where the dost settle. I think that's

838
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: where it will settle. I think Todd Gurley, you know,

839
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: I try not to put too much into what you

840
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: see in the postseason for guys, but I think what

841
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: we saw in the postseason with the Rams and Todd Gurley,

842
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: it was a little scared. I just think it's concerned.

843
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: I just think we're all scared because we have no

844
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: idea what was going on. We hadn't. I mean, none

845
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: of it made sense, right. I mean literally, if if

846
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: the Rams came out and said, you know what, he

847
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: was hurt and that's why you didnt get the ball,

848
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,240
Speaker 1: Everybody's like, oh okay, then everything's fine. Whatever. Todd Gurley,

849
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: but because everybody keeps insisting that he was healthy and

850
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: he just didn't the ball. Early's like out chilling on

851
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: some Caribbean island right now. I fall on on Instagram

852
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: and he's like, I mean, he's living the life he's got.

853
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: He's got a sweet new a sweet place out for him. Yeah.

854
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm not mad anytime a young running back get paid. Man,

855
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: I love it now, I love it, not mad about it.

856
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: But he'll I mean, at worst he's the top five. Yeah,

857
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think he slipped out of

858
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: the top five. I don't think he slips out of

859
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: the top three. Probably not. But yeah, you know the

860
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: fact of him going number one, that that may not happen.

861
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: Your number one wide receiver, FABS is DeAndre Hopkins. You

862
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: got him at number eight overall. And I feel like

863
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: this buzz has been happening for a while now, Like

864
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: I think, I think. I feel like last year Antonio

865
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: Brown was the number one wide receiver, almost out of

866
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 1: habit a little bit because I think it very easily

867
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 1: could have been nuke. But I think this is the

868
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: year now. What we've seen from DeAndre Hopkins doing it

869
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: with a variety of quarterbacks and now having Deshaun Watson.

870
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: I think this is the year that the the Nuke

871
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: at number one thing for real happens. Yeah, no question

872
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: about that. And one of the more consistent wide receivers

873
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 1: in the league as well. Uh. He was sixth overall

874
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: at the position, let all wide receivers and PPR points. Uh.

875
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: He he had a eighty six point seven percent percentage

876
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: of top twenty finishes. Uh, he was a top ten

877
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver and more than percent of his games. He

878
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,479
Speaker 1: is the man. And now you eliminate the Marius Thomas

879
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: from the mix. Not that that's going to mean, uh,

880
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: anything significant in terms of targets for Nuke. He's gonna

881
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: see his targets. But this guy is going to see

882
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: He probably will end up being uh the league leader

883
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: and at worst maybe top three in terms of targets

884
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,919
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nineteen. Playmaker, a guy that's looked

885
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: for in the red zone. I there there are two

886
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 1: or three other wide receivers that you can argue as

887
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,399
Speaker 1: the number one, including Davante Adams and Antonio Brown, although

888
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: we don't know where he's going to be at this point. Um,

889
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: but Nuke is the guy for me, and he's one

890
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: of the few wide receivers who's gonna be worth the

891
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,760
Speaker 1: first round pick. Hypotheticals. Graham If if Antonio Brown lands

892
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, say is he is he potentially back to

893
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 1: wide receiver one? Or is it still nuke? I'm gonna

894
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: go nuke to um coming off. I mean, this is

895
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: just kind of crazy, but he's still He just set

896
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: new personal bests and receptions for game, yards per game

897
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 1: and catch right um with Deshaun Watson. He and DeAndre

898
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 1: Hopkins have just been I mean, outside of Michael Thomas

899
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: and Drew Brees. I think we could say you can

900
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: make the argument and maybe Tyler Watkin Russell Wilson, you

901
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: can maybe say this is the third best duo in

902
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: the league in terms of quarterback Erstiverer combo. I mean,

903
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,399
Speaker 1: Hopkins has dropped just one of his two and thirty

904
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 1: four targets. It was last sweats glue. I'm pretty sure

905
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: comes unreal. How do you do that? I mean, and

906
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,959
Speaker 1: legit like the only the only player in the league

907
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: who has been able to stop him, Broadcast Wilder, the

908
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: only one. DeAndre Hopkins the best catch he might have

909
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: made last year was one that didn't count, like between

910
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: the legs where he was out of bounds, but it

911
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,320
Speaker 1: was like that might have been the best catch in

912
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,959
Speaker 1: the National Football League last year, and unfortunately it didn't

913
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 1: count because he was out of bound. But he's Hopkins.

914
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,919
Speaker 1: Literally you could you could if you were to find

915
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: his best catch every single week, you could be like

916
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: that was the best catch like every everything, and he's

917
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: just automatic every week. It's it's absolutely crazy, by the way, Like,

918
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: so you know Julio Jones at wide receiver five, which

919
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 1: I don't think is ridiculous. We're over this whole, We're

920
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: over the whole Julio. Like I felt like last year

921
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: there was all this Julio slander, like he doesn't score

922
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: enough touchdown like he was tremendous. He was. He was

923
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: one of the more consistent wide receivers in the league.

924
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: I think he was second umcent of his games. He

925
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: was a top twenty guy and he had eight top

926
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: ten finishes and he didn't score until was it week nine.

927
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: I don't think he scored until one was nine. It

928
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: was insane. That was kind of the running joke of like,

929
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: win Julio score, but the top five are are somewhat interchangeable.

930
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: I think Nuke is number one. But then when you

931
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: talk about Antonio Brown, Davante Adams, who, by the way,

932
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,280
Speaker 1: was the most consistent wide receiver in the league almost

933
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: of his games, he was the top twenty wide receiver,

934
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: he was bananas. And they're going to be people out

935
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,399
Speaker 1: there who him at number one, and no disrespect because

936
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:06,479
Speaker 1: he he is obviously well worth it. Michael Thomas, Julio Jones,

937
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: oh O b J also as well. He'll be in

938
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: the mix to there. There's there's gonna be a lot

939
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: of different wide receiver rankings for the top five, but

940
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: it's all gonna include mostly the same players. Gronk is

941
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: your tight end five. This is provided he even I

942
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: don't even know if he's gonna be bad, becomes back

943
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: next year. I mean, he may retire, which takes him out,

944
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 1: but I feel like, I mean, it's not a surprise.

945
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: I just feel like it's sort of the end of

946
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: an era, right, I mean, no, you're right, Gronke at one.

947
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: Gronkett tight end one has just been you know, it

948
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: was death taxes and Gronkett tighten. I haven't projected as

949
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 1: like a seventh round pick, Like I mean, I'm I'm

950
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: not going in on I'm not going in on a

951
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: tight end unless it's Kelsey urts Kittle. He's a guy

952
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: who broke out this past season. And I have Hunter

953
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,399
Speaker 1: Henry also, he's at number four, please stay healthy, Hunter

954
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: Henry right, and Gronkowski five and O J. Howard at

955
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: number six, like at Ebron in there as well. Ebron

956
00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: could be a guy that I move up. I mean,

957
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: we'rely in February, y depending on what the Colts do

958
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: this offseason. There's there are there are some interesting young

959
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 1: tight ends in the league. O J. Howard being one

960
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 1: of them. I think he could end up breaking out

961
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: next season. Hunters another one. He could end up breaking

962
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: out next season. Uh David and Joku. He was up

963
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: and down all year, but he ended up. I believe

964
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: he was a top ten tight end because it didn't

965
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: take that market to be a top ten tight end

966
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: because the tight end position was so bad. I was

967
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 1: a top ten t you were, and thank you for

968
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: that touchdown you thought was thirteen. I streamed you that week.

969
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: But um, Gronk is still a top five guy for me.

970
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,399
Speaker 1: But it's deceiving to say oh, a top five when

971
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 1: this guy was legitimately number one or two almost every

972
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: year of his career. And you know, Travis Kelsey kind

973
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: of took over that spot in the last couple of

974
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: season and then and then Earth's we saw him come

975
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 1: in and become the guy there in Philadelphia. But it's

976
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to see one of Gronkowski returns number two. Um,

977
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,040
Speaker 1: what the Patriots do offensively, because that team, I get it,

978
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: they just won the Super Bowl. They need to make

979
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: some moves in terms of pass catchers because past Julian Edelman,

980
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you really have there? We don't

981
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: know what's going on with Josh Gordon. Chris Hogan was

982
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 1: a big flop this season, so UH and Gronkowski's durability

983
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: that has always been an issue, and this past season

984
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: he was banged up and look at his Look at

985
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,399
Speaker 1: his touchdown rate this past season, it was bad. I mean,

986
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: he didn't he he didn't find the end zone nearly

987
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: as much as he has uh in previous seasons during

988
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: his course of his career. So big question mark. But

989
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: I think if you take him in the seventh round,

990
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: you're eliminating some of that risk because he he's been

991
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 1: a guy who has been going top three rounds uh

992
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 1: for for much of his career. Yeah. I mean, you know,

993
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 1: there was a point a few years ago where he was,

994
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 1: you know, back into the first round, top of the

995
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 1: second round. It's uh, you know again father time. UH.

996
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: And the Kareem Hunt you mentioned that, you know, we're

997
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: still sort of waiting to see what happens suspension wise

998
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: and how many games he misses. I thought an interesting

999
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: question I saw going around on Twitter after signing was, um,

1000
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,399
Speaker 1: now that he has signed, when when we figure out

1001
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: he's on the field, does this does this help both him?

1002
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: And does this help both him? And UH? And Nick Chubb?

1003
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 1: Does this hurt both of them? Does this help one

1004
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: hurt the other? I mean, how you feeling about that?

1005
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't made any changes yet, but Nick

1006
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,959
Speaker 1: Chubb was my tenth overall player. So at this point,

1007
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: once I find out what the suspension is going to

1008
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,359
Speaker 1: be for Kareem Hunt, we'll find out. But at some point,

1009
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: assuming that Kareem Hunt I mentioned this early, is going

1010
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: to be in a Brown's jersey during the course of

1011
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen campaign, it's going to hurt Nick Chubb.

1012
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: You don't bring Kareem Hunt into your into your uh,

1013
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,800
Speaker 1: into your franchise, onto your roster with all of the

1014
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 1: backlash that you were inevitably going to get because of

1015
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: what he did on that videotape, and decide he's gonna

1016
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: be on the sideline. No, he's gonna play and and

1017
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: he's he's he's probably he's a in terms of versatility,

1018
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: he's a better all around running back than Nick Chubb.

1019
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb is is is a fine runner. We saw

1020
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: it this past season. The guy put up tons of

1021
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: yards after contact. Not the best pass catcher. He's a

1022
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 1: good pass catcher, he's not a great pass catcher. Kareem

1023
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: Hunt is a guy who can make plays as a

1024
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: receiver more than Nick chubbwood. And I'm just very fearful

1025
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 1: that when Kareem Hunt comes back, maybe when you need

1026
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb the most. Assuming say it's a ten game suspension,

1027
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: that you're going to be dealing with a backfield committee,

1028
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: and that is a problem for me. But once we

1029
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: find out what the suspension is, then I'll make the

1030
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: appropriate moves in terms of the Browns backfield. But when

1031
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 1: I saw that come out, the first thing, well, the

1032
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: first thing I did was text miss because he's a

1033
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: big Browns fan, to get him fired up because you

1034
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: just got Kareem Hunting. And his response was really but

1035
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: but But secondly it was, man, if I've got Nick

1036
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 1: Chubb in a dynasty or keeper league, I am hate

1037
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 1: in life right now, because legit, this guy had the

1038
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 1: potential to be a top ten to see running back

1039
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: for a long time, for a long time, and now

1040
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:05,840
Speaker 1: you throw Kareem Hunt into the mix and you're not

1041
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: so sure. I think the big thing here, though, to

1042
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: remember with Chubb is like he did just come off

1043
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: in historic year. I mean, he literally reset like he

1044
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 1: was tremendous. The pf ERA standard for yards after contact.

1045
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Chubb is fantastic. Another thing to think about is,

1046
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 1: I mean, what if we get to the middle of

1047
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: the year and Cream Hunt is no longer suspended. But

1048
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean Nick Chubb is still balling out, like are

1049
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: they going to just take him off the field? I mean, like,

1050
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how this is gonna work. I just

1051
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 1: don't don't know. I don't I can't make any broad

1052
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: statements at this point because one again, he hasn't been

1053
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: suspending it too. Like Nick Chubb really was awesome last

1054
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: year and we just saw cream Hunt come off the field.

1055
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:48,839
Speaker 1: And as much as I loved cream Hunt for yards

1056
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: created and was a huge fan of his and obviously

1057
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:56,359
Speaker 1: no longer. Um, yeah, I don't know. I just don't

1058
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: really see the point. I don't see the upside, don't

1059
00:51:58,120 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: really see the point of this move. And for me

1060
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: right now, it doesn't really change anything because Cream Hunt's

1061
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: so far removed from the much can happen even if

1062
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: he has only suspended for six games, So much can

1063
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 1: happen in that time where Nick, I mean, they could

1064
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: just make you know, cream Hunt basically just a you know,

1065
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: still playing extremely well. You know a lot of people

1066
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 1: including myself, what will point out the Dorsey connection? Right?

1067
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: So you know, Dorsey obviously is a fan of cream

1068
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: Honey drafted him and as a person he knows him. Obviously,

1069
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 1: this kid made him a massive, gigantic mistake. Um. And

1070
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 1: and he's he's been doing the right thing based on

1071
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 1: reports that we're reading in terms of getting his life

1072
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: turned around. But you know, does Dorsey do a favorite

1073
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 1: of cream Hunt? We mentioned it before he mack six

1074
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: games accrued to end up being eligible for free agency, right, Um,

1075
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: I don't know that Dorsey would do that and take

1076
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: the PR hit. I really believe they're bringing him in

1077
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: here to play him. That's probably That's probably the fairst

1078
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: point I've heard is like, why would you take that?

1079
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: Why would you take that risk? Why would you exactly

1080
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:07,839
Speaker 1: why would you take the negative PR risk and then

1081
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: not play him? I guess when he is eligible to play.

1082
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 1: Even if that is, I mean, I don't I don't

1083
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 1: know that he comes in and take Chubb's job. I don't.

1084
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:17,439
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's going to happen, and that would

1085
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if it would surprise me, but I

1086
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't project that to happen. But to come in and

1087
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,360
Speaker 1: and be a part of the offense. I mean, this

1088
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: guy's he's he's a youngster. He's still young. He's a youngster,

1089
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 1: and he was on he was on pace to have

1090
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: another massive season and correct me if I'm wrong. But

1091
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,320
Speaker 1: I still believe despite the fact that he missed what

1092
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 1: was it five games where where he missed because the

1093
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs cut him, I think he was still a top

1094
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:46,800
Speaker 1: twenty running back in PP League. Like, I mean, the

1095
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: talent is there. It just the decision that the Browns

1096
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: made to bring him in. Uh is a big question

1097
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: mark from a fantasy perspective considering what they already have

1098
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: in Nick Chubb and what they have behind him and

1099
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson. So, uh, this this story certainly is not

1100
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,439
Speaker 1: over by a long shot. Remember when Karee Hunt didn't

1101
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: score a touchdown the first two weeks, We're all like,

1102
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 1: what's wrong with Hunt? And then you know everything and

1103
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: then yeah, and let's sit now. Now, let's also talk

1104
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: quickly about the Chiefs backfield, right, because you have Kareem Hunt,

1105
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 1: who was putting up top ten numbers while he was

1106
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:25,919
Speaker 1: the featured back there. He leaves, uh, forced to leave

1107
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: because of the situation. The Chiefs got rid of him,

1108
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 1: and Spencer Ware comes in, had one decent game, and

1109
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: then Damian Williams came in and was ultimately a top

1110
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: ten fantasy running back during his time as the guy

1111
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: in Kansas City's backfield. So you're starting seeing some some correlation.

1112
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: Like Pittsburgh Steelers backfield, you put a guy back there,

1113
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: he's top ten. Kansas City Chiefs backfield, you put a

1114
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,439
Speaker 1: guy back there, he's potentially top ten. So I also

1115
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 1: want to see what the Chiefs do in this backfield.

1116
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,839
Speaker 1: Do they ride with Damian Williams and Spencer where next season?

1117
00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's going to be the situation.

1118
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: Did they bring someone in, did they draft someone? That

1119
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,479
Speaker 1: is going to be a situation that fantasy owners really

1120
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 1: need to watch because that Kansas City backfield has been uh,

1121
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 1: let's just say, very productive for the players that are

1122
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: featured in that offense. I mean, you gotta believe as

1123
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,320
Speaker 1: long as Patrick Mahomes is upright and still slinging the

1124
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 1: football the way he did last year, whoever standing behind

1125
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 1: him in that backfield is gonna be okay, They're gonna

1126
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 1: be stacked the box. He got a pass catching running

1127
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 1: back back there, like Damian Williams was. I mean, Damian

1128
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: Williams was a guy who who who couldn't make a

1129
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: move towards a prominent role in Miami, uh and comes

1130
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: in to Kansas City and doesn't do much of anything

1131
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: because Kareem Hunts got the guy there. Kareem Hunt's gone.

1132
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 1: Williams comes in and suddenly listen, he was just as good,

1133
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 1: if not better than Kareem Hunts statistically. Yeah, So I

1134
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 1: mean that's gonna be one to keep him to keep

1135
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: an eye on also keep on both those guys. Uh

1136
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: and twenty seven years old between Damie Williams and Spencer

1137
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: were so um. That's that's also an issue for the Chiefs.

1138
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: But that's the play to talk about. Of course, you

1139
