00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.

00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from my Heart Radio,

Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and

00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: advice dot Com. Here's your host, Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly.

5
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: It is officially a draft edition because at this point

6
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: everybody's drafting. You either just had your draft or it's

7
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: just coming up now, and we're here to get you ready.

8
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: And by we I mean my cost. Today it's Scott

9
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: Fish and Matt Harrison from Shocked Fantasy. Hello. Hi, great

10
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: to have you guys here. It's draft season. It's the best.

11
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: This is like it's the best week of the year.

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: How many of you got left? Church? I got two

13
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: left to left? I got two left. I've got a

14
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: and I hate talking about my own league, so I'm

15
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: gonna keep this very brief. I've got my whiskey guillotine

16
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: Lee in which, oh that sounds great. The winner gets

17
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: a bottle of whiskey from all seventeen of the people

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: who got cut over the course of the year. So

19
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: if you're the winner, you get seventeen incoming bottles drunk whiskey.

20
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: You don't have to drink them all one night, Um.

21
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: And then my other one is also kind of fun.

22
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: It's similar to an old game that I devised for

23
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: The Onion. For a little while, The Onion had a

24
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: fantasy football game and I made that was all about inefficiency.

25
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: You wanted to get like as many carries for your

26
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: running back as possible with the fewest number of yards,

27
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: as many passes from your quarterback as possible with the

28
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: fewest number of yards and touchdowns. So I'm doing a

29
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: it's like a Nega league everything back. Yeah, I've played

30
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: in like race to the bottom leagues where you want

31
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: negative stuff to happen, but I like the inefficiency go

32
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: way better. Yes, right, And so you know you need

33
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: people who are still produced. They're getting the ball in

34
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: their hands and they just don't do anything with this.

35
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: I love that. Yeah, I haven't heard of that before.

36
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: It's fun, um. And so those are my Those are

37
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: my two remaining drafts. And again I mentioned them only

38
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: because they're fun, different and we love that stuff. Coming

39
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: up over the course of the show, we will give

40
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: you the teammates that we think are better to draft

41
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: teammates people in the same team, same position. Would you

42
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: rather have guy A at his average draft position, or

43
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: guy B at his average draft position, or as as

44
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: as as we've done historically, just take the cheaper guy.

45
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: It almost always goes to the cheaper guy. We'll almost

46
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: we'll go through the training camp battles that we outlined

47
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: a month ago and tell you who won those. We'll

48
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: answer three tough questions like we do every week. Well,

49
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: we've got a segment called I might just be wrong

50
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: in which we really just identify our fears that you know,

51
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: we all take stands on things. What are the ones

52
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: that maybe we're not right about that we're laying awaken.

53
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: This is tough for yes, it is. And then uh,

54
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: we'll wrap things up with a Thursday night game fantasy

55
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: preview because we will not have another show. We have

56
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: a we have an NFL game, but we're the show

57
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: mail our final sleepers of the year. Let's go around

58
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: each team for the final time here in the preseason

59
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: and talk about the one thing you need to know

60
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: about this the final week of the preseason before the

61
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: regular season starts, beginning with I think Matt has got

62
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: the Panthers. I do have the Panthers, who are set

63
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: to be one of the youngest teams in the league

64
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: with seventeen of their eighteen draft picks from the last

65
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: two years making the team. That's kind of unheard of. Uh.

66
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: Their defense will make plenty of mistakes, but their offense

67
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: should be constantly throwing the ball. With CMC back and healthy,

68
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: plus the additions of Sam Donald, Terrace Marshall Jr. And

69
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: Dan Arnold are ready to make some big impacts. Scott,

70
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: the Raiders, what do we need to know? Uh? They

71
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: ended up releasing John Brown, cementing that role for Brian

72
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: Brian Edwards in the on the roster and in starting lineup,

73
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: also Jayleen i R. So it's basically a two man

74
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: show at running back at least early in the season.

75
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: Who has more touchdowns Kenyan Drake or Josh Jacobs Man.

76
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: Don't we have a segment that is coming up later?

77
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: You're right, I almost most touchdown call for the Packers.

78
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: Starting left taboc tackle David baktr will begin the season

79
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: on the pup list as it recovers from last year's

80
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: a c L. They're being very cautious with him. You know.

81
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: The Packers normally stalwart offensive line has undergone a lot

82
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: of change over the past two years. They lost Brian

83
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,799
Speaker 1: Blaga last year, Corey Lindsley this season. Now bok tr

84
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: Uh is out and he'll be replaced by Elkin Jenkins,

85
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: who has been awesome. But he's an interior lineman who's

86
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: gonna have to kick out to left tackle now. And

87
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: he's one of the greatest draft picks of the Packers

88
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: have had recently. He's been fantastic for them. Also, I'll

89
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: mention this rookie wide receiver and Marie Rogers doesn't appear

90
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: anywhere near ready based on we've seen in preseason training

91
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: camp to make any impact here, and so he's got

92
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: to be fifth on that depth chart. He yeah, that's

93
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: probably I think that's probably right about that. Okay, let's

94
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: let's turn over to Washington Matt. Only sixteen players remained

95
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: from the roster that Ron Rivera inherited just over a

96
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: year ago. Some interesting names that made the cut at

97
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: the skill position. Sammis Reyes is a tight end who

98
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: never played football before this year. What wow, Okay, awesome? Huh.

99
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: Dax Milne was the seventh round rookie wide receiver and

100
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: punt returner who beat out Antonio Gandy Golden for the

101
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: last bott on the depth chart and undrafted running back

102
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: Jared Patterson beat out Peyton Barber for a spot and

103
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: has some big flashes in the posseason. I'm telling you

104
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: watching him play, Jared Patterson is a decent player. He's

105
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: probably the handcuff to Antonio Gibson. He is the handcuff

106
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: you want if you're if you're the handcuffing type, Jared Patterson.

107
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: Let's go to Buffalo, Scott. I should add that they actually,

108
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: the Raiders actually did pick up Peyton Barber after he

109
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: was just remembering that now as he says that he'll

110
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: probably lead them in touchdowns. Right there you go. There's

111
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: your answer. Uh. For Buffalo, there's really not much. I'll

112
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: just say that Dawson Knox secured the job. They released

113
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: Jacob Hollister. It's not really relevant for fantasy, but Church

114
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: loves it when I waste twenty seconds saying nothing, thank you.

115
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: Texans have rookie wide receiver Nico Collins, who was getting

116
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: first team reps in the final preseason game and really

117
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: only needs to be about Chris Conley to start the

118
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: season opposite Will Fuller, and I think there's a decent

119
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: chance that he does that. Nico Collins. I know, Scott,

120
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: you've been on Nico Collins. I'm on Nico Collins and

121
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: so I want to make sure you know that. Also,

122
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: all three of the running backs got first and second

123
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: team looks throughout the entire preseason. Philip Lindsay, David Johnson,

124
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: mark Ingram Avoid. Let's go to the Buccaneers. They play

125
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: on Thursday. Man, Yeah, it's been a pretty quiet preseason

126
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: with all twenty two starters from offense and re defense returning.

127
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: But one of the interesting things I found it they

128
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: have the worth easiest schedule in the league as the

129
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champs, which doesn't happen very often. And in fact,

130
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: if you play a league with team defense, the Bucks

131
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: should likely be close to the top spot because after

132
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: facing Dak Prescott in Week one, they do not face

133
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: another top fifteen quarterback from last year until Week fourteen

134
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: in Josh Allen. And that's it, Tang, they face nobody.

135
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: It's all rookies all the time this year and and

136
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: frankly bad quarterbacks. So the Buck's interesting defense this year

137
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: for sure. It sounds to all their starters known, all

138
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: their starters, they feels like they're going to the Super Bowl. Uh,

139
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: all right, Scott. Next up to Cleveland Brown another one.

140
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: There's not much news except for Donovan People's Jones just

141
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: keeps getting hype, but he's still going to kind of battle,

142
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: you know. Rishad Higgins there for the wide receiver. Three dirties.

143
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: I guess, uh, if there's an injury, keep that minded,

144
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: to keep that not named in mind. And another in

145
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: a series of blows to the Colts offense, Starting left

146
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: tackle Sam Tevy tours a c L. That means longtime

147
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: veteran Eric Fisher, who by the way, has COVID right

148
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: now is is going to try to be ready by

149
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: week one to fill in there. It's possible the Colts

150
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: could start this season without their starting left tackle, left guard,

151
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: and quarterback, although it looks like Carson Wentz is heading

152
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: towards playing in the opener. Let's next go to the

153
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. Man, it's all about the running backs and

154
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: wide receivers. DeAndre Swift has been limited all camp with

155
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: a growing injury, and Jamal Williams has quickly become a

156
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: favorite of both Lions fans and coaches alike. And nobody

157
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: wants to hear this, but I would bet a yeah, yeah,

158
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: taco best pork burrito that Williams outscores Swift and Fantasy

159
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: this year. Fantasy points, yeah, and Fantasy points. On the

160
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: other side, the Lions cut Brashod Pairman, which I talked

161
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: about maybe happening last week, Tyrrelle Williams, a Monross st Brown,

162
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: and a host of others, including the newly acquired Trinity

163
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: Benson headline the weakest wide receiver corps I think I

164
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: ever remember in the history of the NFL. It's down there,

165
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: let's head next to the jet Scott. So Jamison Crowder

166
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: still isn't prexing and he just got put on he's

167
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: injured and just got with a growing injury and just

168
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: got put on the reserve COVID list. We don't know

169
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: yet at the time where you know doing this that

170
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: if it's the ten day or if what his vaccinations

171
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: test is, if it is if he's unvaccinated, he's missing

172
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,599
Speaker 1: week one, yes now because it's nine days away. Nay.

173
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: Of note, Elijah Moore was sort of you know who

174
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: was flashed basically from O. T A S. Four Wars.

175
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: Was my my worry hesitancy has always been well. Jamison

176
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: Crowder is a slot receiver who's sitting ahead of him

177
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: and he had to overcome Crowder. Elijah Moore just might

178
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: start with PLA never looked back, and you know that

179
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: might be that there may not be any factor there.

180
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: They have said Elijah Moore. If Crowder is out, Elijah

181
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: Moore will bounce outside. Let's go to the Chiefs, where

182
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: the battle to replace Sammy Watkins is. The number two

183
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: receivers still looks murky. You've got me Cole Hardman. DeMarcus

184
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: Robinson getting run with the first team offense in the

185
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: final preseason game Byron Pringle saw sometime with the ones,

186
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 1: but mostly the two's. I you don't want the second

187
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver in Kansas City. It's never really panned out before,

188
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: so maybe you just maybe you just don't care. But

189
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: I think there's I know that mi Cole Hartman has

190
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: been drafted in many leagues on the promise of him

191
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: getting a big uptick in playing time and taking Sammy

192
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: Watkins spot, But I can't tell you that that's happened.

193
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: Let's go to Seattle. Matt Russell Wilson is entering his

194
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: tenth season in the league, and in the previous nine

195
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: seasons he hasn't had an offensive line rank above eighteen

196
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: in Pro Football Focus pass blocking grades. That trend looks

197
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: to continue, as the Seahawks kept six tackles on their

198
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster. Nobody does that outside of Dwayne

199
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: Brown the Sea. The Seahawks cycled through four different starting

200
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: right tackles in camp. Brandon Shell looks like the projected

201
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: starter right now, but it's bad. Next up the Broncos

202
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: Scott so they released Royce Freeman, who then went to

203
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Interestingly enough, the Ravens tried to pick up

204
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman on waivers, which I think is that's a

205
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: little something there, But that just gives more confidence to

206
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: the Gordon Williams split. They just trust those two guys.

207
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: I think you're right about that with Boone, and I

208
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: are of course too. For the Rams, backup running back

209
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: Xavier Jones got cut in the wake of the Sony

210
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: Michelle trade and his ankle injury. Jake funk is your

211
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: third string running back for l A. Next up the

212
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: Eagles Matt after the Gardner Minshew deal. The Eagles have

213
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: the most depth at quarterback in the league with Hurts,

214
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: Minshew and Joe Flacco. The beat writers are calling Flacco

215
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: the number two right now, but people forget how good

216
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew was last season. He finished QB fifteen and

217
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: fantasy points per game average two fifty one yards per game,

218
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: which is better than Kyler Murray uh and and Ryan

219
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: Tannehill and yardage, completed sixty sent of his throws and

220
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: sixteen touchdowns to only five picks. He's gonna maybe play

221
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: more the people want to think. I know, I think

222
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: he's involved. We've said this all preseason. No quarterback and

223
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: maybe no player has more volatility to him than Jalen Hurts,

224
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: and this puts more pressure on Hurts if if he

225
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: doesn't pass well, They've got really two viable backups that

226
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: can step in and take that spot from him. This

227
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: is a This is something you have to be concerned

228
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: about if you're a Jalen Hurts owner. Next up the

229
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. Scott I mentioned it last week that that

230
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: guests can really seems to be the guy there. So

231
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: I'll go to something new where the owner apparently really

232
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: really wants Deshaun Watson. But I don't think even if

233
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: he goes there, I don't think he plays this this

234
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: not this year. Let's go to Minnesota or Smith's season

235
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: is officially over as he's got a timetable to return

236
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: that looks like December or January. Tyler Conklin and new

237
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: Viking Chris Herndon will likely share duties once Herndon gets

238
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: acclimated into the lineup. Anyway, there are very few qualified

239
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: options to catch a Kirk Cousins pass on roster right now.

240
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,359
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson and I'm feeling are going to be targeted

241
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: like crazy in this offense. Next up, Cowboys offensive line

242
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: should rebound in a big way, and it's left tackle

243
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith returns after playing just a hundred and fifty

244
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: four snaps last season. Right tackle l Collins returns after

245
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: missing all of due to hip surgery. Zack Martin is

246
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: one of the best right guards in the game. Connor

247
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: Williams finished seventeenth overall in pff S grading. So the

248
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys bring that offensive line back. Let's go Patriots. Scott

249
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: mac Jones won the job. Cam Newton is a free

250
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: agent now, probably good for Harris uh The goal line

251
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: work is gone from Cam Uh stid him on the pupe.

252
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: Hoyer got resigned, he got released and then resigned. So

253
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: that's those are the only two quarterbacks on roster right now.

254
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: By the way, Cam Newton two Baltimore war seems like

255
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: the greatest idea that they could have because they only

256
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: have Tyler Huntley as the backup on roster right now.

257
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 1: They wouldn't have to change much in that offense if

258
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: they if Lamar Jackson were to go down and Huntley

259
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: super athletic two. So I mean they like that type

260
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: of player and so it could make some sense. I

261
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: think Cam's just gonna wait for an injury. He's just

262
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: probably a starter to get hurt and then raise his

263
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: hand and they'll probably get signed. By the way, the

264
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: backup for one day for the Patriots to Mac Jones

265
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: was Jacoby Buyers, which for the Saints, it appears that

266
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: the starting wide receivers for the Saints home game in

267
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: Jacksonville will be Deonte Harris and Marquez Callaway trade Kwon

268
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: Smith's still not practicing due to an undisclosed injury, and

269
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas on I are did you hear how the

270
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: Saints chose Jacksonville is the site? And all I saw

271
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: is that they did a comprehensive search for sites and

272
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: that's what they came up. But they also wanted to

273
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: play in Florida because Aaron Rodgers was three and four

274
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: in Florida history, Jacksonville was the one that was most

275
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: expensive for flight travel costs for Green Bay fans to

276
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: go to Florida. I love it all right, they'll tend

277
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: to New York for the Giants. Uh Sa Kwan? Is

278
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: he a trap? I think he might be. First off,

279
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: we have no idea when he'll play Week one, is

280
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: no guarantee when he returns. Does he get Bell cow usage?

281
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: And according to Pro Football Focus, the Giants have the

282
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: worst offensive line in the NFL. Can Daniel Jones keep defense?

283
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: Is honest? Kenny Golladay is already gimpy. This is looking messy.

284
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: But I might put my hat in my hand and

285
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about se Kwon later. Okay, let's

286
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: go to the Tennessee Titan. Scott Ryan Tannehill put on

287
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: the COVID list. However, he is vaccinated, so he just

288
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: needs to clear two negative tests before he can come back.

289
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: He's probably not in danger of missing meek one week one,

290
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: but we'll see. Yeah, and it's a contact thing. He's

291
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: not believed to have COVID for the Steelers. Minor injuries

292
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: to James Washington and Chase Claypool or in the rear

293
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: view mirror, and both of them should be playing Week one.

294
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: Next up the Falcons. Matt Our own Brian Johnson predicts

295
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: that Kyle Pitts will be an absolute force in the

296
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: red zone this year, where Matt Ryan was one of

297
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: six quarterbacks with at least eighty pass attempts and guys

298
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: like Hayden Hurst, Russell Gauge, Brandon Powell, Lakwan Treadmill combined

299
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: to score eleven touchdowns. Can you tell Brian wanted me

300
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: to mention this for this show? Obviously he's He's a source.

301
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Scott Chris Evans has won the third the third

302
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: running back role there. There's a ton of buzz around him,

303
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: and he's a better pass catcher than p Ryan. I

304
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't if I'm a mixing owner or not, I would

305
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: look at him if there's anything that happens to mixing.

306
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: Have zero shares a mixing. Next up San Francisco, Trey

307
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: Lance chipped a bone in his finger. He's gonna miss

308
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: a week of practice and he wasn't expected to start anyway,

309
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: But the injury all but assures Garoppolo gets, if all,

310
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: if not if the starting job and most likely all

311
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: of the work in at least week one. The Niners

312
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: have a very week schedule to start the year two.

313
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: This could hang on for a really long time, and

314
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: I think we're looking at ten weeks at least of

315
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: Garoppolo for a moment. What did you think of that?

316
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: Them splitting the first team running back and forth, Like, no,

317
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: I hate that fantasy. That's the worst thing that could

318
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: happen for fantasy. Well, kind of brilliant for a kind

319
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: of from a football standpoint, Yes, from a fantasy standpoint,

320
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: there's nothing we hait worse on the platooning quarterbacks. You

321
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: never know less you're in one of those team quarterback leagues. Um,

322
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: are there any of those left? I mean you have

323
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,719
Speaker 1: to be like in a big that's that's that way.

324
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 1: Forty Niners is one other thing. Starting slot receiver from

325
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: the Niners, Mohammed sanu Oh, Daddy mohammeds and Daddy Sr.

326
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: Mohammed And I figured he was here was done, but

327
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 1: not the case yet. Cardinals, Matt It's been a pretty

328
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: quiet camp surrounding Kyler Murray. The Cards have already said though,

329
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: that some injuries to Murray might have prevented him from

330
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: throwing more last season. He handed up under the four

331
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: thousand passing yards mark last year, but his rushing upside

332
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: was amazing. But will they try to take the ball

333
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: out of his hands a little bit more to get

334
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: him throwing a little bit extra this year. That's yet

335
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: to be seen. Next up, Jacksonville Scott. This this doesn't

336
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 1: even feel worthy, but Jacob Hollister got signed for the Jags.

337
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: But that tight end depth chart is terrible, so maybe

338
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: there's not You're right. They also signed Tyrone Johnson from

339
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: the Chargers. That's a note I guess for Brian. Apparently

340
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: we're doing with this whole show is just about keeping

341
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: Brian happy. We want to make sure Brian's happy. For

342
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Justice Hill return to practice after missing a

343
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks with an ankle injury. He is battling

344
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: Tyson Williams for the backup job behind Gus Edwards. Final

345
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: couple of teams Chicago Matt Well Justin Fields is the

346
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: story of camp, but we're gonna talk about him in

347
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: the next segment. Here's a few facts about the Bears.

348
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: Though they're the old team in the league. Okay, they

349
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: have a rookie defensive coordinator. They faced the toughest quarterback

350
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: schedule in the league. Their offensive line is one of

351
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: the worst in the league, and Andy Dalton won't be

352
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: able to hold that job very long because he's gonna

353
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: be running and the negative game scripts are going to

354
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: make Justin Fields have to come in very very soon.

355
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: That offensive line looked so bad preseason. That's that is

356
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: what I think is going to contribute heavily to Andy

357
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: Dalton having to the demise, possible demise on the field,

358
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: demise of Andy Dalton. Final team is the Los Angeles Chargers.

359
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: They ended up waving both Tyrone Johnson and Joe Reid,

360
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: really securing the roles for Josh Palmer in that in

361
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: that offense is as the guy that will come in

362
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: if there's an injury on the outside or maybe get

363
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: some some snaps on the outside. Josh Kelly terrible preseason.

364
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: Justin Jackson completely locked up that backup role. Yeah, that's

365
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: anybody if you drafted Kelly get out now that. I

366
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: don't think there's gonna be any help coming that way.

367
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll go through the trainee camp

368
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: battle resolutions. Four weeks ago we identified all the training

369
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: camp battles we were going to follow. We'll tell you

370
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: the winners and losers of each one of those when

371
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:37,959
Speaker 1: we come back. Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back, Fantasy Football Weekly,

372
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: Pault Charchie and Guillotine Leagues dot com. If you haven't

373
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: tried a guillotine league, still time to get into a

374
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: guillotine league. If you've got friends you want to play with,

375
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: we can cover that at guillotine leagues dot com. Or

376
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: maybe you want to just join a league with strangers.

377
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: We've got guillote leagues at whatever prizing level you would

378
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: like to play for. As you already know, the way

379
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: the Guillotine League works is kind of special. A teen

380
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: teams start the season. That's one team for every week

381
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: of the year. Instead of head to head playing each week,

382
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: the bottom team gets cut and their entire team goes

383
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: to the waiver wire. We're pandemonium and sues. For the

384
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: rest of us who are alive, all you have to

385
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: do is not be worst. You don't have to have

386
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: the best team, just don't finish last. The last team

387
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: standing wins the whole thing. And one of the things

388
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: that's nice about the Guillotine League is people are like,

389
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: but charge, I don't have seventeen other friends. You can

390
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: set them up for however big or small Guillotine League

391
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: you want. That is correct. We support eight to eighteen

392
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: size the gigs, and if you choose an eight or

393
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: a nine, you can play it twice in the same

394
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: Season's right you could. You know, if you get to

395
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: go with the nine team Guillotine League, you'll have a

396
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: winner after week eight. Redraft a little Guillotiny. Guillotini absolutely

397
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: also available at GI We have Guillotine's. Four weeks ago

398
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: we identified the training camp battles we were going to watch.

399
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: Now let's go back and see who won and did

400
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: the right team the right did the team get it right?

401
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: We begin Scott with Buffalo wide receiver situation beyond Stefon Diggs.

402
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 1: How about that? How about that third spot? So we

403
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: had Gabriel Davis going against Manny Sanders. There Manny Sanders,

404
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders had all but won the battle. Then he

405
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: got hurt. Uh and now they've split time since it

406
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: still seems like Emmanuel Sanders has got the job. Here.

407
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: In the last preseason game, he he worked both outside

408
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: and in the slot. Gabe played Eggs exclusively from the outside,

409
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: but Gabe did way better catching every single pass throwing

410
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: his way on the score. So I think the battle

411
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: is still going on. Thirty four year old Manny Sanders

412
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: won't give it up yet. I think you and I

413
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: I know we want we want Gabriel Davis. It is

414
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: this is we're very much typical fantasy players. We want

415
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: the new guy, the young blood, you know, that's that's

416
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: always got a lot more appeal than the older players

417
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: generally do. But this thing could be murkier than we

418
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: want to think. Unfortunately. All right, Matt, let's go to

419
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: the Chicago quarterback situation. Yeah, it was Andy versus Justin Fields,

420
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: and it's Dalton. For now, they're probably starting the wrong quarterback,

421
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: but how long will it? Last? Week one, they get

422
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: the Rams and that scary defense. Week to the Andy

423
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: Dalton revenge game against Cincinnati. That's kind of fun. Week

424
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: three at Cleveland that's a really good defense. And then

425
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: Week four is Detroit and that might be the place

426
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: that they want to start Justin Fields. So I think

427
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: he's still worth rostering in redraft leagues where you're looking

428
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: for some QB upside. But if it goes further than

429
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: week four, might be a little Field starts no later

430
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: than weeks I think we're pretty much that. I think

431
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: he's going too late given the rushing upside that he brings.

432
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: And if they if they announced today that Justin Fields

433
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: was gonna start like week two, he would jump up

434
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: three rounds easily. And he's probably he starts by week two,

435
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: and if not two, I think forward your point is

436
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: to throw him on your bench, leave him there. Let's

437
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: go to New England. We know who won the quarterback

438
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: job there, we do U. New England did did what

439
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: the Bears apparently were too scared to do and got

440
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: their rookie in there to start. Not much. I mean,

441
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: it's it's good for the passing game, it's gonna be

442
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: good for John Who, it's good for the running game.

443
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: It's good for Harris, you know, because he's gonna get goal.

444
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: I know what it looks that Newton took. But what

445
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: I want to mention is mac Jones went from plus

446
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: one thousand to win Rookie of the Year to the

447
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 1: favorite just by that announcement. Unbelievable. I know people who

448
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: got that plus one thousand two. Really, Yeah, that's good,

449
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: that's good money. Uh they've got I like that they've

450
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: settled on a quarterback who can pass on like Cam Newton.

451
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about that New England situation in Cam

452
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: Newton's depart your next segment. The New Orleans UH quarterback situation,

453
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: Matt Jamis Winston versus Taysom Hill. I thought it was

454
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: gonna be Hill at the beginning of the preseason, but

455
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston wanted because he can pass, because he can

456
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: end the day, your quarterback has to be able to pass.

457
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: That's true. But this whole battle has a whole bunch

458
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: of stink on it, and I just don't like it.

459
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: First off, Taysom Hill will not just sit on the

460
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,479
Speaker 1: bench all game. He will be in as maybe a

461
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: goal line quarterback, weird gadget player. How much will he

462
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: take away from Winston? And that's not good Without bruised

463
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,479
Speaker 1: and broken Michael Thomas, it feels like they're at an

464
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: all time low on skill players. Connection between Winston and

465
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: Marquez Callaway with something to behold in the preseason, but

466
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm nervous about the Saints having to spend their first

467
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: month away from home. That's not ideal either. No, that

468
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: part is is worrisome. Scott. Let's go to the Denver

469
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: quarterback situation where I think they got it raw. Okay, yeah,

470
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: Teddy has this quarterback job on Lock one point oh one, Dad,

471
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: that's what you are a lot of I I do

472
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: agree with you. I think Lock would have been better

473
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: for fantasy just because his upside is unreal. But we

474
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: we do have to remember that a quarter uck can

475
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: be pretty average and support wide receivers. Last year, Teddy

476
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: for the Carolina Panthers had three top thirty wide receivers

477
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: in both points per game and total fantasy points over

478
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: the course of the but they were all about I

479
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: heard something. I heard a really good stat from Warren

480
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: Sharp that Bridgewater faced the toughest passing defense schedule in

481
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: the league last year in Carolina and he faces the

482
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: easiest schedule this year. And I did see that it

483
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: was the easiest. Um But but that statement of a

484
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: QB doesn't that, you know, can be a weak fantasy

485
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: asset and support a bunch of options. Looking at you,

486
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberg, one UH San Francisco's quarterback situation, Matt, We've

487
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: alluded to it last second. Yeah, it's Jimmy Garoppolo versus

488
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: Trey Lance, and Jimmy has it for now. Uh. Of course,

489
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 1: Chart mentioned that Lance ended up with the fingertip injury,

490
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: which means he's going to sit out for a week

491
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: or so. I do expect him to suit up as

492
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: the backup in Week one, but Lance was equally as

493
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: tantalizing and predictably unpredictable for a guy with his pedigree

494
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: in preseason action. The more I watched a Lance, I

495
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: think he'll certainly be the last of the rookie quarterbacks

496
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: we see, and this one might extend a lot later

497
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,239
Speaker 1: into the season before he starts. Then all of us

498
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: want to admit the Denver running back situation, we don't

499
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: have a lot of clarity here. We don't know. There's

500
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: not a lot of clarity. Uh. The b reporters think

501
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: it's Melvin, but he is Melvin Gordon, but he is

502
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: the one that actually played in the final preseason game

503
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: and they held Javonte out. Part of it could because

504
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: you know, Melvin Gordon's coming back from that injury, maybe

505
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: kick a little more rust off, you know, while he's

506
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get back, or they didn't or

507
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: they wanted to protect their lead runners. I think that's it.

508
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: That's the scenario I watched. I had originally thought they

509
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: were trying to showcase him for a trade to one

510
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: of these very running back needy teams. But you know

511
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: they got they got Rhoda Roy would be an interesting

512
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: move with Melvin Gordon ended up in maybe Baltimore Baltimore

513
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: or with the Rams or on behalf of all Gus

514
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 1: Edwards owners. You shush up about that. We're going through

515
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: the training camp battle resolutions. We outlined a month ago

516
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: the ones we were gonna watch. Now we're going through

517
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: the final set of winners and losers. The Arizona running

518
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 1: back situation. Yeah, Edmonds versus Connor, I cannot call a winner.

519
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's there's no winner to be called. It's

520
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: a tie. Chase Edmonds is the top of the depth chart,

521
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: but will he be the guy at the goal line.

522
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: He has one career carry inside the five yard line.

523
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake now in Vegas had twenty two inside the five,

524
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: so Edmonds clearly was not trusted there, and over the

525
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: last three seasons with Pittsburgh James Conner total twenty nine

526
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: carries inside the five and scored sixteen touchdowns, which is

527
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: a pretty good success rate. He's healthy for now and

528
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: if he ends up as the goal line guy, he's

529
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: probably the running back you want more in Arizona. Alright,

530
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: our final training camp battle resolution is among the Chargers

531
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: wide receivers, and this one came down to the wire

532
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: that did Tyrone Johnson got released, So it became between

533
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: Josh Palmer, who that has has splashed in the in

534
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: the training camp and UH in the preseason. Here UH

535
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: and Guitan. It looks like Guyton is going to be

536
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: the slot backup and Palmer is going to be the

537
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: outside backup. That's basically how it's come down too. I

538
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: think you're right. Guyten played almost entirely slot last year

539
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: and so he'll back up largely Keenan Outen, who runs

540
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: a lot from the slot. So I believe that that

541
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: is exactly how that part will work out when we

542
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: come back. It's a game we like to call three

543
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: tough questions. You can play along see if you can

544
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: go three and oh with our panel of experts, as

545
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: I pepper them with three mind bending questions sure to

546

550
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: This is a segment we call three tough questions. Tough

551
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: question number one, with the unfortunate end to j K

552
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: dobbins season, how many touchdowns will Gus Edwards score this

553
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: year A less than ten B ten to fourteen or

554
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: see fifteen or more. We begin with Scott Fish. I

555
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: could take the easy route and say he had seven

556
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: last year as the backup to Jake Dobbins in most

557
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: of those games. If you flip that, you and j

558
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: K Dobbins had nine. So if you flip that, he's

559
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: he's already close. But in the last three years, the

560
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: Ravens had nineteen Russian touch jowns, twenty one rushing touchdowns,

561
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: and twenty four rushing touchdowns. They've said emphatically they want

562
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: to pass more, but they're receiving options like they're all

563
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: they're they're all hurt at the moment. If we expect

564
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: them to be as run heavy, maybe right in the

565
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: middle of all that we're talking like, twenty one is

566
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns. Lamar historically takes seven of those, usually about

567
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: a third. So we're left, you know, in that fourteen

568
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: fifteen range is where the rushing touchdowns should be. Who's

569
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: gonna take them? Tyson Williams, Royce Freeman, they couldn't get

570
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: off waivers. Um I think I got him in the

571
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: ten to fourteen range. Fifteen plus would mean that they

572
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: run much much more, and that you know, Lamar tampers

573
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: down his rushing I don't think that's gonna happen. I'm

574
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: pretty I'm pretty sold on ten to fourteen here, okay, Matt,

575
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: with j K Dobbins season ending, how many touchdowns will

576
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards have a less than ten? B ten to

577
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: fourteen or see fifteen or more touchdowns? And a little

578
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: bit disappointed that you and I did get to have

579
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: this battle all year with Dobbins and Gus Edwards just

580
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: because all Edwards and it just ended, and it's like

581
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: at their prices, my balloon is all deflated. Technically I

582
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: won Yeah, do that do that touchdown dance over there?

583
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: Chart on JK Dobbins getting hurt. I guess. First off,

584
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: the ten rushing touchdown threshold is really tough to hit.

585
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: Last year only eight running backs did it, the year

586
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: before only seven running backs did it, and the year

587
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: before that only six running backs did it. It is

588
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,719
Speaker 1: worth noting that JK. Dobbins did have nine rushing scores

589
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: last year. Gus had six from from running the ball

590
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: on one from receiving. In mark Ingram was one of

591
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: those guys who hit that ten mark with ten, and

592
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: Alex Collins led the running backs with seven the year before,

593
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: but he wasn't very good at all. So this offense

594
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: has a history of success for the running back, especially

595
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: with rushing touchdowns. Maybe not overall success all the time

596
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: with the yardage, but touchdowns they usually do accomplish that feat.

597
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: And that's one of the reasons I liked Dobbin so much.

598
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: So I will go tail between my legs and say

599
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: be ten to fourteen on Gus Edwards. I think he'll.

600
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: I think I'm a bit surprised that he's gonna do it,

601
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: but I think he will. Last year, the Ravens ran

602
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: the ball twenty six times from inside the five yard line.

603
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: Only three of those runs were by Lamar Jackson. We

604
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: touched on this last week. People think Lamar Jackson steals

605
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: goal line runs. He's not Cam Newton. If the Ravens

606
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: Runners are going to get the same twenty three carries

607
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: from inside the five, Gus is going to get almost

608
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: all of those probably, And if he gets almost all

609
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: of twenty three carries, we're at ten right there, a

610
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: minimum of ten right there for Gus Edwards. So if

611
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: he's got ten just from inside the five, last year,

612
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: half of his total touchdown number came from outside the

613
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: five yard line. So if you take the tenco now,

614
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna get another ten. No, not doubling it. Half

615
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: his touchdowns, Half his touchdowns came from outside. So if

616
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: he's got ten from inside, half came from outside. While

617
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: we're talking about this is how he easily gets to fifteen.

618
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: If he has ten up close touchdowns we were talking,

619
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: fifteen is easy for Gus Edwards, easy to get. But

620
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: you're calling twenty, calling twenty. But I'll tell you what's

621
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: the right answer. Is c going, He's going he's getting

622
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: hit fifteen or more touchdown Where this line with a

623
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: personally to question number two, Cam Newton vacates twenty two

624
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: carries inside the five yard line for New England totally

625
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: out of the picture. Now, how many touchdowns will Daman

626
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: Harris score this year? Same bit, less than ten, ten

627
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: to fourteen or fifteen or more. We begin this time

628
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: with Matt Harrison. Harry enters his third year in the league.

629
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: In his rookie season as a third round pick out

630
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: of Alabama, Harris played in exactly one game, and last

631
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: year Harris averaged about fourteen rushing attempts per game. Uh,

632
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: splitting some time with Sony and and a seating all

633
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: goal line work to Cam. But when it became clear

634
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: that the Pats were out of the playoff picture, Harris

635
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: was put on the shelf in wrapping paper and they said,

636
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: now you don't need to play anymore. We got you.

637
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna take the mileage off of you. Uh. Ramandre

638
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: Stevenson is a consideration near the stripe, as he's been

639
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: good in that role in the preseason. But when the

640
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: game's count, I think Stevenson is inactive more often than not.

641
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: As a rookie runner in that offense, I think Harris

642
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: goes for ten to fourteen touchdowns as well. All right,

643
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: Scott with Cam Newton gone. And remember, by the way,

644
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: at this time last week, before Cam Newton a big cut,

645
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 1: we were worried that they would bring Cam in off

646
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: the bed, you know, we were like, mac Jones is

647
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: way better path, He's gonna win, but we'll bring in

648
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: Cam off the bench and end up putting Cam in

649
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: in situationally in at the goal line. We don't have

650
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: to worry about that anymore, which is fantastic. So how

651
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: many touchdowns will Damian Harris score this year? Less than ten,

652
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: ten to fourteen or fifteen or more so, only twice

653
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: in the last twenty years have Pats had two similar

654
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: big backs. And we're gonna talk about you know, Romandre

655
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: Stephenson and Damien Harris here, uh, you know, doing this

656
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: kind of work. And both times both running backs scored

657
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: six plus touchdowns Dylan and Moroney and Ridley and brlunt Um,

658
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: which generally bodes well. But also if you look at

659
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: that twenty year history of Belichick, he does not let

660
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: rookies jump into the goal line role. He just doesn't.

661
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: The law firm Ben Jarvis green Ellis had a great

662
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: preseason with rushing touchdowns, did not get it in the

663
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: regular season. His rookie year, same with Jonas Gray and

664
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: other big backs that they've had. Um Stevenson also fumbled

665
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: one on the goal line that got called back. That

666
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:03,240
Speaker 1: that means he's he's going to absolutely sit all year. No, no, no,

667
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: the senses Belichick isn't super likely to trust Stevenson. There

668
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: might even trust James Whitemore there. Uh maybe, Hey, he

669
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: scored three rushing touchdowns in the Super Bowl. Come on,

670
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: but I'm going to go with the tender fourteen just

671
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: because I think Stevenson will get some but not as

672
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: much as some people might want to think. All right,

673
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: let's start with the math and begin Actually, I want

674
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: to start by attacking the naysayers who say they will

675
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: never draft a Bill Bell. Did you want one of

676
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: us to be the naysayers? Get you, guys, nobody's name.

677
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 1: We're not naying we're not horses. Where's our horse noise?

678
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: Where's our horses? I have no naysayers in this group.

679
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: The Garrett Blunt were three seasons removed from the Garrett

680
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: Blunt leading the NFL in touchdowns eighteen, almost all of

681
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: them up close. Dion Lewis the second. Over the past

682
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: five years, no team has more carries inside the five

683
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: yard line than Bill Belichick's Patriots, and that was with

684
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 1: Tom Brady on roster, and they still ran the ball

685
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: at the stripe more than any other team. Over the

686
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: past five years, no team has scored more rushing touchdowns

687
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: from inside the five yard line than the Patriots. Do

688
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: you really not want any part of that just because

689
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: it's Belichick? You do so again? Over the last five years,

690
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: Patriots averaging averaging thirty two carries from inside the five.

691
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: That's a staggering number and again the most in the NFL.

692
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: Damien Harris for the reason Scott and you both actually outlined,

693
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: Damian Harris is going to get most of that work.

694
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: Can I agree that Ramandri Stevenson as a rookie is

695
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: not likely to get Belichick's trust Here? If you're about

696
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: to say fifteen plus for Damian Harrison, can I parlay that? So? Okay? Well,

697
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: you tell me thirty two carries. Let's as sue him.

698
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: If that's the average for the Patriots from inside the five,

699
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: you guys know that your your level of expectation is

700
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: around fifty conversion of the thirty two carries into touchdowns.

701
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: Give me the range from just the inside. The five

702
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: touchdowns for Damien Harrison, Oh, he'll obviously score at least

703
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: sixteen at least. I think we already gave you our

704
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: So let's say he's not as efficient as we'd like,

705
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: and he's only at about one third efficiency here, and

706
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 1: it's only ten touchdowns on these touch on these goal

707
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: line runs for Damien Harris, he's gonna score some from distance, right,

708
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: I mean, if he's got ten touchdowns up close, and

709
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna get five over seventeen games, right, So that

710
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: brings you to fifteen touchdowns he catches maybe one, maybe

711
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: one six the correct answer for Damian Harris. Also over

712
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: by the way, Gus Edwards and Dame mean Harris still

713
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 1: being drafted in the fourth round. Fantasy owners are slow

714
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: to react to this news. Neither one of them catches

715
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: very well, and I think PPR leagues have suppressed their

716
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,919
Speaker 1: value a little bit tough. Question Number three, Jamar Chase

717
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,240
Speaker 1: dropped four of his five targets during his preseason games.

718
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: What is the appropriate level of concern for the Bengals

719
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: rookie receiver? Is it none, some, or a bowl loosening

720
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 1: level of existential dread? Scott, I'm gonna with some here,

721
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: mostly because of his sixty two overall ADP, which is

722
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 1: just it's really high for a guy that's looking more

723
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: and more like he's going to be the third receiver

724
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: on his team, and uh, he's actually going ahead of

725
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: the other ones. Uh. Tee Higgins been going around later.

726
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: He hasn't played football in twenty months. I mentioned this

727
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: last week. He just hasn't played football in twenty months.

728
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: He needs needs to kick some rust off. But the

729
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: worst thing is Tee Higgins. Uh played a full year

730
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: last year with you know, ten games with Joe Burrow.

731
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 1: He played Joe Barrow, played with you know, Oddent Tate,

732
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: he played with Tyler Boyd. He's comfortable with them from

733
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: that year. He's a year removed from playing with Chase.

734
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: And if Chase comes in in week one and makes

735
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: those drops, how long before Burrow stops trusting that trusts

736
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: what he had last year? So some some I think

737
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: he saw I think he's talented enough that he's gonna

738
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: turn it around eventually. But it's some for now, alright,

739
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: Matt Jamaar. Chase has dropped forward his five targets during

740
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: his preseason games. The appropriate level of concern is none,

741
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:41,439
Speaker 1: some or a bowl loosening level of existential dread, as

742
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: the band Cake once said, bowl shaking earthquakes of doubt

743
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: and remorse. That's what you'll get if you draft Jamar

744
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,399
Speaker 1: Chase this year. Um I mentioned on an earlier show

745
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: this preseason that the Bengals offensive line is absolutely terrible.

746
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is gonna need to get rid of the

747
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,280
Speaker 1: ball quickly if he hopes to avoid another knee injury.

748
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: They already got the two good wide receivers that Scott mentioned,

749
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: and I'm nervous that the Bengals won't be able to

750
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: run three wide receiver sets because they're going to need

751
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: to keep tight ends or maybe a fullback into block

752
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: for Joe Burrow. If the third wide receiver is not

753
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: on the field and Chase continues to have the drops these,

754
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: he's going to be the odd man out here. So

755
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: you're going with levels of existential dread. I'm like, I

756
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: like that we said that together. It was very special

757
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: considering where he's been taken and being taken and his

758
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: average draft position is wide receiver thirty two, which puts

759
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 1: him you know, there are thirty two teams in the NFL,

760
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: so people are drafting him like he's one of the

761
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: one of the eight team's best starting receiver considering where

762
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,720
Speaker 1: he's being taken both Dynasty and Empire leagues and re draft.

763
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: You should have B L L E. D. Joe Burrows

764
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: in Covecient training camp is a worry. You've got the

765
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: bad offensive line. And I thought your point Matt on

766
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: the him on them needing to bring in tight ends

767
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: to block. I think it's extremely valid. Um the missed

768
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: year last season, which which Scott outlined, totally valid as well.

769
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 1: And then you guys both in on Tee Higgins and

770
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: Tyler Board are really good and established. Those guys aren't

771
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: going anywhere. The guy who is Jamaar Chase, that is

772
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: a concern. All right, let's go. I've got a bonus

773
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: question for you. Do I happen once upon a time

774
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: I had I had a had a tough question. I

775
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: had a tough question number four on my tough question

776
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: number Thank you very much. Which wide receiver should be?

777
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 1: Wide receiver one? Davante Adams or Tyree Hill Give me

778
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds, uh, Davante Adams for me. I think Rogers

779
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: is just gonna go all revenge mode this year and

780
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: just want to prove light the light everything up on fire. Matt, Yeah,

781
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 1: I agree, Adams. He's a goal line wide receiver. He's

782
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 1: he's there inside the five, guy Tyree Hill, because when

783
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes takes those extra two steps and he unleashes

784
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: a laser fifty yards down field and it's at its apex,

785
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: you are jumping out of your sofa because you know

786
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: the most exciting player in the NFL is getting under

787
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: that ball. There's no wrong answer here, but you get

788
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: my tyree. You can just get tingly when you watch

789
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs play. Who doesn't As a matter of fact.

790
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly, Our number two continues in moments our

791
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 1: number two Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul charging from

792
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: guillotine at leagues dot com. Scott Fish and Matt Harrison

793
00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: Shocked Fantasy with you as well, gentlemen. One of the

794
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,919
Speaker 1: conundrums that every fantasy owner has what to do when

795
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: you like a player at a position and there's another

796
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: good player, same position, same team. We play this game

797
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: every preseason. I'm gonna give you two players, well usually

798
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: too in some cases three at the same position on

799
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: the same team, and tell me given the average draft position,

800
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: the round you'd have to take him in, who would

801
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:31,879
Speaker 1: you rather have? We begin with Seattle, would you rather

802
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: have Dk met calfine round two or Tyler Lockett in

803
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: round five? Scott, I will go to you first, apparently

804
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: very anxious to cover this. I don't need to go

805
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 1: on on this. It's just DK metcalf He he puts

806
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: up numbers nearly every week. He had a few dogs

807
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: last year, But Tyler Lockett is a guy that you're

808
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: getting three to four weeks. We've detailed this. He only

809
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: had four games over seven yards last year. He had

810
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: eight of his ten touchdounks coming three weeks. He had

811
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the stats the week. And that's not

812
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 1: just last year, it's it's it's a couple of years

813
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: round and the year before nearly fifty percent of his

814
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: stats came in in four games. He's had twenty eight

815
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the last three years that have boosted him

816
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 1: up and made fantasy owners think that he's amazing. What

817
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: if that regresses, You've got nothing? That was a very

818
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: succinct response, Matt, do you have anything you want to

819
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: add to that? Um? Yeah, Normally it is like the

820
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: guy who's later in this one. But I have a

821
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,919
Speaker 1: few that are are the guy ahead in the draft.

822
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 1: I have dk Metcalf as well. Um. I put our

823
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,240
Speaker 1: locket on my list of players that I wouldn't draft

824
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: last week, so I can't like say I'm gonna take

825
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: him now, of course not. I had to stick up

826
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 1: for what I said before. We're all it's three. It's

827
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: three to zero. We all agree we'd rather have dk

828
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: Metcalf in the second round. Next set of teammates. Would

829
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,240
Speaker 1: you rather have Detroit running back DeAndre Swift in round

830
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: three or Jamal Williams in round eight? This time we

831
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: start with Matt. Does anybody want to take me up

832
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: on that burrito bet the Williams outscores DeAndre Swift? Yes, Oh,

833
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: I think I think. I think Williams is going to

834
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: outscore d Swift. Take I not for that, but I'll

835
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: come up with because Scott doesn't like burritos. That's insane. Anyway,

836
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,919
Speaker 1: let's hear your justification. Well, I think I think that

837
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: he's more healthy. He's He's a guy who can be

838
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: a pass catcher and a runner. Um And I'm just

839
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: worried about Swift's durability. Round three is way too early

840
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: for me to draft DeAndre Swift with a guy I

841
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 1: have a lot of red flags on, and Jamal Williams

842
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,919
Speaker 1: is in round eight. That's that's where you start throwing

843
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: darts like that, Okay, Scott, Yeah, I knew you'd take

844
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams, especially after you took him as your sleeper

845
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: last week. So I I immediately decided to go with

846
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 1: the other right, just not not because I totally disagree.

847
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,439
Speaker 1: I actually like that as as a nice sleeper pick.

848
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm taking Swift because he's still an early second round

849
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: pick that in limited touches last year still scored ten touchdowns.

850
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: Only had a hundred and sixty touches and he scored

851
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns. Um, it's it's gonna be an okay offense.

852
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna be behind a lot, and he's the past

853
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 1: catching back. Dan Campbell has compared him to the Kamara role,

854
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn has compared him to the Ela role. Uh so,

855
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 1: if he takes on any of that, and there's a

856
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,760
Speaker 1: very long history of running backs to get a hundred

857
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: fifty plus rush attempts and fifty catches, which he's very

858
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: capable of of landing as a top twelve running back.

859
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna take that. I will say there's

860
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 1: a concern that you know, they've also made statements about

861
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: going hot hand. But I'll take Swift. I'll take Swift

862
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 1: in that upside. I will take Jamal Williams in this one.

863
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,800
Speaker 1: But I worry. I do think Swift is going to

864
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 1: be the better back. And I'm taking your bet Williams

865
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: is gonna outscore. Yes, Swift, But but you don't Swift

866
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: awfully good place tag. I very much agree with the

867
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 1: price tag. All right, but you still picked Swift yep. Okay.

868
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: Next is Minnesota wide receivers Justin Jefferson Round two or

869
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling Round five. This one we start with Scott.

870
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with Jefferson. I think he's got every possibility,

871
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 1: especially with Earth going out and with the other past

872
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: catching options there, of just becoming a true number one alpha.

873
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: If he ends the season as the number one wide

874
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: receiver in fantasy, I would not be shocked, and I

875
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: I love having a guy like that on my team.

876
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: I don't I think the Theeling regression is not going

877
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 1: to happen like people think. Maybe the touchdowns aren't fourteen again,

878
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:36,359
Speaker 1: but he's had seven, six, nine, etcetera. In recent years.

879
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: I think he gets a decent amount of touchdowns and

880
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna get a lot of targets. I just rather

881
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: have that potential wide receiver one on my team, all right, Matt,

882
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson round two or Adam Celan round five. In Bestball,

883
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: I ended up with twenty five percent of Adam Thelan

884
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 1: and ten percent of Justin Jefferson. So I'm gonna put

885
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: my money where my mouth is. Delan is my answer. Yes,

886
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 1: he's older. Yes, there's a little bit of injury stuff

887
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: that's happening with him right now. But when he's on

888
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 1: the field, he's as consistent as they get in the league.

889
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: Kirk loves him, especially in the red zone, and the

890
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: Vikings have no one else to throw to. Also a

891
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: baby narrative, his first baby, second baby had a fourteen

892
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 1: touchdown season. He's got another one coming this I didn't

893
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: know that he's expecting. That's very important. Um. I think

894
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: you guys had and all the keys the salient stuff here.

895
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 1: Why feeling remains and I like Jeffrey. I don't have

896
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: any problem with Jeffer, but theland round five is stealing. Yes,

897
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: as you mentioned the end the goal line propensities. He

898
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 1: scored seven touchdowns on eight targets from inside the five

899
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: last year. That is remarkable for Adam Feeling. Next in Cleveland,

900
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb in round one or Kareem Hunt in round five.

901
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:50,800
Speaker 1: Matt one of these running backs has RB one overall upside,

902
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: the other one has maybe RB twelve overall upside. So

903
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,919
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Chub on this one because he's

904
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,720
Speaker 1: one of the best running backs in football. Pro Football

905
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: folk US has great at him as such the last

906
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: couple of years, and I think that there's a possibility

907
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: that we could see the workload steer much towards his

908
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: direction if he's completely healthy this season, and we might

909
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: see Chubb kind of kind of teetering on the two

910
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,760
Speaker 1: thirds to one third share over Kareem Hunt. Okay, Scott,

911
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: you kind of said almost exactly what I was gonna say. Um,

912
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: Chubb had over a hundred yards and or scored in

913
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: all but one complete game he played last year. I

914
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 1: really want that on my fantasy team. I understand that

915
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: when he plays in games with Hunt. In his games

916
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,760
Speaker 1: with Hunt, he averages one point three five receptions, which

917
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:40,720
Speaker 1: is not good. But one of the things that constantly

918
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: gets talked about is Hunt could be a RB one

919
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 1: if Chubb. If Chubb, Hunt could be an RB one

920
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: if Chubb goes out, well, if Hunt goes out, Chubb

921
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:53,359
Speaker 1: is just kind of Actually, I don't think they would

922
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,800
Speaker 1: even that. I don't think they would give him twenty

923
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,240
Speaker 1: two carries. I think you'd see a lot of dearness

924
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,359
Speaker 1: Johnson for a while, he was gene over twenty touches. Though,

925
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: so even with Hunt on the team. Worth noting that

926
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: Scott has taken the early guy in each one of

927
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:14,280
Speaker 1: these battles so far. After yes, complete lies, I tease

928
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 1: the listeners, I also would take Nick Chubb in round one.

929
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: Next up Scott, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin or Antonio Brown.

930
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 1: Evans is going in the fourth, Godwin the fifth, and

931
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown the seventh. Yeah, the string the streek ends here,

932
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: the streeke ends here. Uh, this one's actually pretty easy

933
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: for me. It's Antonio Brown for me. He led in

934
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: target share attend this season. In fact, he led the

935
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: led the team and targets four of the last six games.

936
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,240
Speaker 1: Once he got acclimated and was on that team another

937
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: full offseason to work with Brady and get that down um.

938
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: Evans numbers declined quite a bit last year and he

939
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: barely crossed that thousand yard threshold that he crosses every

940
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: single year. I do think Godwin is a great fit

941
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: for Brady. I actually really love Godwin with Brady, but

942
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: that three to four, three or so round difference is

943
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 1: enough for me to say I'll take Antonio Brown is

944
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: my wide receiver three on most of my teams, all right?

945
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 1: Which was the Bucks wide receivers? Matt would you take?

946
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 1: Is it Mike Evans in round four, Chris Godwin around five,

947
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: or Antonio Brown and round seven? H Scott stole my

948
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: thunder on Mike Evans. I think that his downside is

949
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: definitely there. I took Chris Godwin though, because we're one

950
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,240
Speaker 1: year removed from Godwin being the number two overall wide

951
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: receiver in fantasy. He's in a contract year again on

952
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 1: the franchise tag. He did miss some time last year

953
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,720
Speaker 1: with injury. He was danked up and playing hurt a lot,

954
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: and plus Antonio Brown is a psycho and we'll get

955
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: kicked out of some games at some point this year,

956
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: and I don't want to have to deal with that

957
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: at all. On my team, I have Chris Godwin as well. Alright,

958
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 1: couple more teammates that were going through. Which would you

959
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 1: rather choose Matt If among the new England running backs?

960
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,280
Speaker 1: Would you rather have Damian Harrison round five, Romandre Stevenson

961
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,839
Speaker 1: around eleven, or James White in round twelve? I have hair.

962
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 1: I remember drafts back in June where I was getting

963
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 1: Harrison like the eighth or ninth round, and that was

964
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 1: so much fun. With Cam out of the way. We

965
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: we talked about it. Harris has a shot to just

966
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 1: be a true bell cow runners. I understand he fifteen

967
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:15,760
Speaker 1: touchdown upside. I don't know it could be twenty. Scott,

968
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: do you feel any differently? Yeah, it's not close. We

969
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: have a rookie and tiny pass catchers behind him. All right,

970
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 1: let's go to San Francisco Deonte Johnson in round four.

971
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's not San Francisco. This is Pittsburgh. Deonte

972
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,360
Speaker 1: Johnson in round four or Chase clay Pool in round five,

973
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: teammates ranked very near each other. Scott, I hate you

974
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 1: making me do this because you guys know how much

975
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,399
Speaker 1: I love Chase claypoo I know you do. I think

976
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Deonta Johnson because there's a lot

977
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: of great players still in that fifth round. Um we

978
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: just talked about one, Chris Godwin. But Deonte Johnson going

979
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 1: in the fourth. He's just an insane target hog. He

980
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: doesn't get a tony yards with it, but maybe that

981
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: comes along. If you watch drives with Ben Bent, Ben

982
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: looks at him the entire time, the entire drive down

983
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: the field. Um so if Ben throws short a lot nowadays,

984
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: So that's where Deontay lives. All right? Do you feel

985
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: any differently, Matt, I do. I have Chase Claypool. Both

986
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 1: these guys are super talented, but Claypool a little bit

987
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 1: more versatile. He ran in two scores last year to

988
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: go along with his nine rushing receiving touchdowns. Plus there's

989
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: some drop issues for Deonta in the past. So I'm

990
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: going to take the guy around later and take Chase Claypool. Here.

991
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,800
Speaker 1: I Chase Claypool. If he gets a lot better in

992
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 1: year two, which many receivers do, right, you can make

993
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: could be he could he could make a dk metcalf jump.

994
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: This he is potentially sitting on a very very good season.

995
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 1: But I'm picking Deonta Johnson because I like receivers would

996
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: get the ball in their hands a lot, and Chase

997
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: Claypool when he does not score, scores a lot and

998
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 1: he does not score doesn't help you as much. And

999
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I want receivers who've

1000
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 1: got the ball in their hands. At the end of

1001
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: the day, you want receivers to score touchdowns. Six of

1002
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:00,359
Speaker 1: those ten came in two games, like so, that's that's

1003
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: that's a great point. That's a great point. All right, Matt,

1004
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 1: Which of the Las Vegas running backs would you prefer

1005
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 1: to have? Josh Jacobs or Kenyan Drake? Uh? It's uh

1006
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs for me in round three over Drake in

1007
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: round nine. I've never been a believer in Drake. He's

1008
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,359
Speaker 1: just a guy. He's just been a guy, and he's

1009
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: had a lot of rushing rushing touchdowns near the stripe

1010
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 1: for for Arizona in the past. So I just think

1011
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: Drake's just a guy. I'll go Josh Jacobs. Okay, I

1012
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 1: don't want either, but yeah, I don't really either. If

1013
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 1: I have to choose, I'm choosing Drake only because I

1014
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: like so many more things in that third round. It's

1015
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: not even a Jacob's or Drake think, it's just what's

1016
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: available in the third. Also, I'm seeing Jacobs start to

1017
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 1: fall into the fourth a little bit too. People are

1018
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 1: a little depressed on him. Well do you think they're

1019
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 1: depressed on Josh? Now wait till the season starts, and

1020
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: that's Kenyan Drake. I'm taking him because he's a round nine.

1021
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 1: That's that's that's the beauty of it. I don't want

1022
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: anything to do with Josh Jacobs, and you don't really

1023
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: want anything to do with Kenyan Drake, but under your

1024
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 1: head situations. But that's six the exact page worthy, exact

1025
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: page alright, final one Denver's wide receivers Jerry Judy in

1026
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 1: round six or Courtland Sutton and round eight Scott Man.

1027
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 1: So I was really optimistic, and what we saw from

1028
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: Sutton most recently, uh and because the reports and videos

1029
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 1: earlier was hesitancy and maybe like his knee, like he

1030
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: was still feeling injured. But now it looks like that

1031
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 1: confidence has returned. But honestly, I feel like Judy just

1032
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 1: fits Teddy's game a little bit better. I know that

1033
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: they both can thrive, but I'll I guess I'll take Judy.

1034
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 1: I think the breakouts coming this year. Okay, it's tough.

1035
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:37,919
Speaker 1: I'll take Courtland Sutton. He was a Round five pick

1036
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: in last year's ADP, and I'm buying the dip. He's back,

1037
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 1: he's healthy again, and Jerry Judy was healthy all of

1038
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 1: last season and it was really just disappointing for the

1039
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 1: entire year. So I'll buy the dip on Courtland Sutton.

1040
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: Take the late guy and hope for the upside there. Yeah,

1041
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:54,920
Speaker 1: I just don't want the I don't want the coming

1042
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 1: off the A c L. That's to me the difference

1043
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: here and Judy was not. I don't think you can

1044
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: characterize him as bad last year. No, it's a little disappointing.

1045
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:06,439
Speaker 1: I think he did what most good what most good

1046
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 1: rookie receivers do in their first year, just not what

1047
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson did in his first year. And I think

1048
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 1: the year two bounces coming for Jerry Judy will take

1049
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: him in round number six. I believe they're soft Jays though,

1050
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 1: Yerry Uti Yerry Uty Let's come back with I might

1051
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 1: be wrong. I might just be wrong. These are positions

1052
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: we've taken over the course of these preseason shows, they

1053
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: were laying awake night going, Um, you know, maybe I

1054
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: wasn't quite right about that. We'll tell you what's keeping

1055

Speaker 1: us awake nights with our some of our hottest takes

00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 1: guillotine leagues. They are so cute, just nine teams, so

1067
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 1: that means it wraps up at the end of week

1068
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: number eight and then you turn around draft again, take

1069
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:02,479
Speaker 1: all the same people if you want to draft again.

1070
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Quillotini is also available dot com. Easier to win right

1071
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 1: if you only have eight other people you're playing against,

1072
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 1: not eighteen. That's that makes a little bit easier. This

1073
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 1: is a segment called I might just be wrong, but

1074
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: I know what I told you to do. But when

1075
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 1: I told you to do that, I was rousing, Ralph,

1076
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 1: I was, I was not exactly right. What do you

1077
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 1: mean not right? I mean not right. I don't get you.

1078
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 1: You mean you were wrong? Yeah, that's right. I was

1079
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 1: what you just said. I was just then. Yeah, I

1080
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: might just be wrong. Yeah, Scott, tell me what's keeping

1081
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 1: you up? Your yourself aware enough to know that sometimes?

1082
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: And we've was that the fantasy by the way, Well,

1083
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 1: yeah that was fantasy. That was the where's the other fans?

1084
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 1: We have another fantasy Fonzi in here. I think it's

1085
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 1: just Brian going, you're probably right about that. Um, you

1086
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 1: know we're wrong plenty on this show, and we're going

1087
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: to get things wrong. We always do. Scott, give me

1088
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 1: one thing that's keeping you up right now, laying awake

1089
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 1: at night, you're thinking to yourself, Oh man, I'm giving

1090
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: all this advice. I hope this thing isn't wrong. Well, Church,

1091
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 1: I'm worried I'm wrong about Antonio Gibson, My view is

1092
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 1: last year they focused on teaching him the running back position,

1093
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 1: and that's why mckissic got so much receiving work. Yes,

1094
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 1: and converted wide receiver, and we knew, we all knew less.

1095
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 1: You're going into the season that Antonio Gibson coming in

1096
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver had great, great pass catcher, great

1097
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 1: in space. That's that's something he excels at. And then

1098
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 1: he didn't do it all year. I mean, you had

1099
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: thirty six receptions, but the clear exactly target. I feel

1100
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 1: like he needed to learn the running back position. And

1101
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 1: now that he's had a year, he's got Ron Rivera,

1102
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 1: who had Christian McCaffrey. Now he's going to be their

1103
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 1: version of Christian McCaffrey. They're going to add that element

1104
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 1: to his game to him and he's gonna get that

1105
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 1: ten plus touch on he had ten touch on his

1106
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 1: less year. He's gonna get more than that. But what

1107
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, What if mckissic is just too good

1108
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 1: of a pass catcher and they're like that this word year. Yeah, Yeah,

1109
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: that's that's what worries me, is that he does not

1110
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 1: become the pass catcher the fifties, sixties, the sixty plus

1111
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: reception pass catcher. I think he should be in that offense.

1112
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: We are drafting Antonio Gibson in the at the end

1113
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 1: of the first round. That's under an assumption to for

1114
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 1: him to reach that level and return on that, he

1115
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 1: has to catch more passes and if he doesn't, you're

1116
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 1: gonna end up with less value than where you got

1117
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 1: him at running back four. On my latest cheat let's go,

1118
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 1: I picked fourth in the draft. The other day, I

1119
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 1: took Ekeler and I debated Ekeler, Gibson and Naji because

1120
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 1: that's where I have them in my rankings. Wow. I

1121
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 1: like it. Contrarian rankings here. That's part of the reason

1122
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 1: I like this show is that most are as a group,

1123
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: our host, we're not beholding to the group think of

1124
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 1: fantasy industry experts, which is fantastic. Matt, what is something

1125
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 1: that's keeping you awake at night worried that we might

1126
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 1: not be right? Um? That Lamar Jackson is a top

1127
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 1: five quarterback. I mean he has been his entire career,

1128
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 1: but I'm a little worried that he's never yet thrown

1129
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: for thirty yards in a season, which is not a

1130
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: high number. Not not a high number at all uh.

1131
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus ranked him seventeen amongst quarterbacks in passing

1132
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 1: grade last year, behind such notable awesome fantasy quarterbacks Baker Mayfield,

1133
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, Kirk Cousins, Philip Rivers, and just like a

1134
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 1: fraction of a grade above Daniel Jones. Yikes uh. He

1135
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 1: Jackson has all three of the all time top seasons

1136
01:03:54,640 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 1: ever for quarterback rushing attempts. If he's a running back

1137
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 1: that just hasn't gotten hurt yet, that's a problem. And

1138
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: will he be asked to run more this season? Due

1139
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 1: to the loss of j K Dobbins, the offensive line

1140
01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 1: took a step down, and he still doesn't have any

1141
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Coaching staff has been saying for two years

1142
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 1: that they wanted to pass more downfield, and can he

1143
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 1: actually do that. I'm nervous that it all goes wrong

1144
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:24,800
Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson this year, if not very soon. I'm

1145
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 1: laying awake nights wondering what if Ben Roethlisberger has one

1146
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 1: great final season left in him. Because I've I've I'm

1147
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 1: out on Roethlisberger. I'm mostly out on that passing offense

1148
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: because I don't like what I saw last year from

1149
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 1: his arm and the way they used him. They fired

1150
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:46,560
Speaker 1: their offensive coordinator, Randy Fitchner, and now they've you know,

1151
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: now that you know and and he was bad. Maybe

1152
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: this new offense he's comes in trim. Maybe Ben has

1153
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: got one great season left in him, and I shouldn't

1154
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 1: have him ranked his quarterback twenty one, and I shouldn't

1155
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: have his receivers where I've got them. What if he's

1156
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 1: got one great season left in him? The path is

1157
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 1: kind of there too, like you can see it, like

1158
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 1: if even if his arm is shot. Deonte is a

1159
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 1: close to the close to the line of scrimmage guy.

1160
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 1: Juju Is Friarmouth and Chase Claypool are big, you know,

1161
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 1: can go up and grab touchdown guys like drawn people away.

1162
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 1: I know that the offensive line is bad and it's

1163
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 1: gonna be bad, but maybe it won't matter. I think

1164
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 1: everybody's got him ring everybody does. Yeah, that's where I'm

1165
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:33,920
Speaker 1: seeing him. We would be wrong. My My attitude is

1166
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 1: I'd rather get out a year two early on a

1167
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: aged veteran. But maybe this isn't the year. All right,

1168
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 1: Do you got another one that's leave that's that's keeping

1169
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 1: you awake? Scott, Yeah, like Totio Gibson is the one

1170
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 1: that I I lay awake at night, but I get

1171
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 1: to sleep and then I wake up in a cold

1172
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 1: sweat when I think, am I wrong on Lescault? I

1173
01:05:56,680 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 1: am drafting him way higher than everybody little body, And

1174
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 1: it scares me that I believe he is going to

1175
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 1: take the urban Meyer Percy Harvin Roll from Florida. I

1176
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 1: believe that that urban Meyer wanted ten in that role.

1177
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 1: And now that E. T. N is gone, that's Levisca.

1178
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna use him in space. He's gonna use him

1179
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: a bunch. He had a six yard season last year.

1180
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 1: This year I think he, you know, bumps that up

1181
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 1: a ton. But what if what if he's Cordell Patterson?

1182
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:27,520
Speaker 1: What what if he's Cordell Patterson for the Vikings just

1183
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 1: they make they make some plays work, but he never

1184
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: gets great enough volume to be truly awesome. What if

1185
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 1: they have too many other options and can only score

1186
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 1: from sixty yards out that that's where the cold sweat comes.

1187
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 1: Maybe he's that guy instead of the guy I want

1188
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 1: him to be. All right, Matt, do you have another

1189
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:50,919
Speaker 1: thing that's keeping you awake nights that you might just

1190
01:06:51,080 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 1: be I was ok, I was not exactly right. Um. Yeah.

1191
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:02,600
Speaker 1: After my melotonin wears off and I wake up at

1192
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 1: about four in the morning, I think about how se

1193
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley actually might not be a fantasy trap and

1194
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 1: he actually might be the RP one this year. The

1195
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 1: injuries are concerned, as is the offensive line, as is

1196
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback, as is the coordinator. But let's attack them

1197
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:23,960
Speaker 1: one by one. Injuries, Let's just say s Kwan is

1198
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 1: almost fully healthy, and they've been kind of saving him

1199
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 1: for when games count. They're being cautious and not playing

1200
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 1: him when games don't matter. Uh. The offensive line. The

1201
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 1: line was terrible in ten and he had over two

1202
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 1: thousand total yards and fifteen touchdowns. In the quarterback. The

1203
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 1: quarterback in was Eli Manning, who at that point in

1204
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: his career was not significantly better than what Daniel Jones

1205
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 1: is right now. And the coordinator Jason Garrett, who, let's

1206
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: face it, Coach Garrett is Uh, he's not the greatest

1207
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 1: coach in the world. But he did one thing well

1208
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 1: in Dallas, and that was hand the ball off to

1209
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 1: his bell cow runner and Zeke and get the ball

1210
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: in Zeke's hands over and over again. He didn't have

1211
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 1: any other ideas. It was give the ball to seek

1212
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 1: as many times as possible, and the same could happen

1213
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 1: with se Kwon. So he's going by me. I'm passing

1214
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 1: on him every time he goes by me in the

1215
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:19,880
Speaker 1: second round, and he just might be a first round

1216
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 1: league winner this year. The thing that's leaving me sleepless

1217
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:29,600
Speaker 1: at night. If Jalen Hurts evolves as a kid to

1218
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:32,559
Speaker 1: a great passer, I've got him ranked really really wrong

1219
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 1: right now. I've got him a quarterback twelve. The rushing upside,

1220
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 1: that's probably an appropriate ranking, but I don't. I don't

1221
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:42,640
Speaker 1: trust the passing that I saw last year. Yet he

1222
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:46,679
Speaker 1: notched two to yard games in his four starts. Yeah,

1223
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:50,599
Speaker 1: he's got that Kyler Murray upside. He does have Kyler

1224
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 1: Murray upside, and that if if he can involve as

1225
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:56,760
Speaker 1: a passer and he and that means I don't have

1226
01:08:56,840 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 1: to sweat Gardner Minshew Joe Flacco taking his job, then

1227
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 1: I'm really wrong on Jalen Hurts. And he's got freaky upside.

1228
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 1: So when Lamar came out, not not came out like

1229
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:10,200
Speaker 1: I think it was the second year, I tweeted about

1230
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 1: a stat that I think it was a quarterback who

1231
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 1: rushes for over five hundred, six hundred yards has never

1232
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 1: finished below QB seven, and that's very that's almost es

1233
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:28,720
Speaker 1: that where he's being drafted, which is around by the way,

1234
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 1: quarterback twelve, where I've got him ranked. Just typically where

1235
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 1: he's being drafted, you're almost counting out him getting benched

1236
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 1: at some point. That ve that's basically what we're but

1237
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 1: we're basically drafting him at his floor. For Jalen Hurts,

1238
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 1: that's keeping me awake for sure. When we come back,

1239
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 1: final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly, we will break down

1240
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 1: the Thursday night game. We've got live, real games coming

1241
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:59,200
Speaker 1: on Thursday, and unveil our final sleepers of the year.

1242
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 1: Please stay tuned. Final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. We've

1243
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 1: got real games happening in less than a week. Thursday Night,

1244
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 1: Dallas Tampa. Kind of odd that, you know, normally the

1245
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 1: Thursday nighter is a rematch from the playoffs, or at

1246
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 1: least two teams in the playoffs, But apparently the NFL

1247
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:49,680
Speaker 1: has decided America's team is a big enough draw that

1248
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 1: they would put Dallas into this prestigious spot at the opening.

1249
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 1: In the opening game. Weirdly, Tampa gets the second place

1250
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 1: schedule from their division, so they don't have any of

1251
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: the you know, top flight teams, so that's why their

1252
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 1: schedules a little bit easter. A couple of the they

1253
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 1: screwed a couple of them. Anyway, America's team. Pah, that's

1254
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: what I say to that. Let's go through the outlook

1255
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:15,559
Speaker 1: for players from the Cowboys and the Buccaneers. Speginning on

1256
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:19,479
Speaker 1: the Cowboys side, Dak Prescott gets a B grade. I

1257
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 1: think there's a bunch of factors working against Doc in

1258
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,639
Speaker 1: this game. He's gonna have to chisel off a thick

1259
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:26,920
Speaker 1: layer of rust after missing most of last year. In

1260
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:31,919
Speaker 1: the preseason, is Frankenstein foot adds questions to his mobility.

1261
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:34,599
Speaker 1: I don't expect a lot of running here. And remember

1262
01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 1: the last time we saw the Buccaneers pass rush, they

1263
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:41,519
Speaker 1: were turning Patrick Mahomes into a slurry. We're gonna watch

1264
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:44,360
Speaker 1: the status of right tackle l Collins, who may miss

1265
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:46,920
Speaker 1: this game as well. And but in a moment, the

1266
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:49,200
Speaker 1: upside is you're gonna hear that I like his receiver's

1267
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 1: individual matchups a lot, so there's still some upside for

1268
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 1: Doc in this game. Ceedee Lamb gets an a. Lamb

1269
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 1: ran predominantly from the slot last year, and if he

1270
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:02,400
Speaker 1: does that, he's got a terrific matchup against Sean Murphy Bunting,

1271
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 1: a coverage liability for the Bucks, who allowed a passer

1272
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 1: rating of one in his coverage last year. There we go.

1273
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:13,960
Speaker 1: Lambs looked fantastic in camp. Murphy Bunting allowed the sixth

1274
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 1: most yards in his coverage last year, which, by the way,

1275
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 1: for a slot corner to give up the sixth most

1276
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 1: yards is a lot. I also like that there's a

1277
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:27,439
Speaker 1: baseball player named Sean Murphy and when he's bunting, he's

1278
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,559
Speaker 1: Sean Murphy bunting. That's a great point A grade for

1279
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb, a grade for a Marii Cooper Situationally, the

1280
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 1: Bucks will have cornerback Carlton Davis shadow opposing number one receivers.

1281
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:40,040
Speaker 1: He did that in half of his games last year.

1282
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:45,599
Speaker 1: As a big bodied corner, Davis should see a lot

1283
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 1: of Cooper. And Davis isn't great. He ranked his Profo

1284
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 1: Ball Focus is forty six ranked cornerback, and he is

1285
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 1: prone to meltdown games he had several last year, and

1286
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 1: Carlton Davis allowed the eighth most yards of all cornerbacks

1287
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:03,720
Speaker 1: last year. It bridge so Amari Cooper a grade. Then

1288
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 1: there's Michael Gallop with a sea he pulls up. He

1289
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 1: gets the short straw here with with if things hold

1290
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 1: with coverage from the Buck's best cornerback the most often,

1291
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:15,759
Speaker 1: Jamal Dean. Dean hasn't allowed to touch down in seven

1292
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:18,720
Speaker 1: straight games. Obviously, going through back last year and the

1293
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 1: playoff run. This preseason, Gallup worked more out of the

1294
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:24,640
Speaker 1: slot than he ever has before, which is kind of

1295
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 1: interesting and maybe that opens up the prospect for some

1296
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 1: easier matchups for him. It's not clear that Dean's gonna

1297
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 1: be on Gallop all the time and not Cooper. Here,

1298
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:35,760
Speaker 1: it's I'm still giving a starting grade on Gallop. Church.

1299
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:38,559
Speaker 1: What do you think about Gallops like prospects throughout the year.

1300
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:40,520
Speaker 1: We haven't really talked about him much in the preseason

1301
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 1: gotten man for most of them, really, and like, if

1302
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 1: if Cooper and Lambs stay healthy, is Gallop a guy

1303
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 1: that can be startable most of this year? I think

1304
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 1: you've got to find your spots starts there because there's

1305
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 1: not enough balls to go around, and Lamb and Cooper

1306
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 1: are gonna eat so many targets. But I think for

1307
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:59,479
Speaker 1: this particular matchup, C grade Blake Jarwin's going largely undrafted,

1308
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:02,280
Speaker 1: and we're gonna watch him and see what kind of

1309
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 1: condition he's in after last season's knee injury. He is

1310
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 1: on the bench um as for Zeke. C grade on

1311
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott in the toughest matchup of his entire year

1312
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 1: coming right here. In the season opener. The Bucks returned

1313
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 1: all eleven defensive starters to a defense that ranked number

1314
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 1: one in rushing yards allowed, number one in yards per carry,

1315
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 1: number one in fantasy points allowed, and number two in

1316
01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:32,760
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns allowed. Allow me to tell you the notable

1317
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 1: runners who failed to top thirty nine rushing yards last

1318
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:40,439
Speaker 1: year against the Bucks. I feel like I remember this

1319
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:45,759
Speaker 1: from last probably Clyde Edwards, a Lair failed twice, Cam

1320
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:50,679
Speaker 1: Acres failed, Mike Davis, Aaron Jones failed twice, Alvin Kamara failed,

1321
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:54,880
Speaker 1: David Montgomery failed, Melvin Gordon failed, Antonio Gibson failed, and

1322
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 1: almost none of them scored in addition to failing to

1323
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:02,360
Speaker 1: hit thirty nine rush yards against the Bucks. If I

1324
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:05,599
Speaker 1: had stones, I would put a bench grade on Zeke,

1325
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:08,759
Speaker 1: but I'm putting a C grade on him. And here's

1326
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,680
Speaker 1: why he can chip in through the air. And this

1327
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:16,080
Speaker 1: is where Tampa was susceptible. Zeke is an elite receiver

1328
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:19,800
Speaker 1: and the Bucks allowed the most running back receptions and

1329
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:23,240
Speaker 1: the seventh most running back receiving yards. So I think

1330
01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:26,599
Speaker 1: Zeke's gonna bail you out that way, maybe hopefully chips

1331
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 1: in a score through the air. Let's go to the

1332
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:34,000
Speaker 1: Tampa side. Tom Brady, Mike Evans, and Chris Godwin all

1333
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:37,719
Speaker 1: a grades. For Brady, positive matchups all over the field.

1334
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:41,759
Speaker 1: We'll talk about his individual whiteouts in a second here. Evans, Brown,

1335
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 1: Godwin all have strongly positive matchups over their cornerback counterparts

1336
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs, Anthony Brown, and especially Jordan Lewis in the slot.

1337
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:54,639
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about those guys momentarily here. For Godwin

1338
01:15:55,240 --> 01:16:01,439
Speaker 1: rarely healthy last year, but he gets the He gets

1339
01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:05,519
Speaker 1: the slot receiver role here with a drool inducing matchup

1340
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: because Jordan Lewis a lot of passer rating of ninety

1341
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 1: eight last year and finishes as Pro Football focuses one

1342
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:17,680
Speaker 1: hundred seventh ranked cornerback. There aren't even seven corner so

1343
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 1: we like Godwin a lot Mike Evans is going to

1344
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 1: see a lot of Trayvon Diggs, who usually gets the

1345
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:28,679
Speaker 1: call for the opposing physical receiver, and that's Evans. Diggs

1346
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:30,920
Speaker 1: will probably be better in year year two, but in

1347
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:33,720
Speaker 1: year one it wasn't good. Diggs finished the year with

1348
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 1: a quarterback ranking of nine seven on passes thrown into

1349
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 1: his coverage, and ProFootball Focus ranked him fifty three at

1350
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 1: the cornerback position. That's a strongly positive matchup for Mike Evans, who,

1351
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:47,000
Speaker 1: as I mentioned before, a grade and compounding everything else,

1352
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 1: by the way, dallas Is safeties look super wobbly. Malik Hooker,

1353
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 1: formerly of the Cold, will be playing his first game

1354
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 1: since blowing out his achilles. Demonte Casey is coming off

1355
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,479
Speaker 1: a COVID year. He's got to knock the rust off

1356
01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 1: of that, and before that he was bad. So the

1357
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:04,639
Speaker 1: safeties for Dallas are not good either. Antonio Brown should

1358
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:07,599
Speaker 1: not be forgotten about Scott, No, he should not be great.

1359
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:12,000
Speaker 1: Brown Is will most frequently match up against cornerback Anthony Brown,

1360
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 1: and a Brown versus Brown matchup. They are not related

1361
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:20,360
Speaker 1: to no one a nt their aunt Brown versus Aunt Brown. Um,

1362
01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:22,759
Speaker 1: somehow Anthony Brown is worse than all the other corners,

1363
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:26,720
Speaker 1: ranking as cornerback one eleven by Pro Football Focus. The

1364
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 1: worry for me on Brown is just volume. But as

1365
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 1: you mentioned Scott, at the end of last year and

1366
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 1: through the playoffs, the volume was fine. So you could

1367
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 1: consider Brown in a grade if you want. I gotta

1368
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:38,679
Speaker 1: be grade on him, And I will note that Brown

1369
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 1: scored six times in the Buck's final six games. I mean,

1370
01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, in sneaky fashion with maybe Brown is more

1371
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:47,680
Speaker 1: reliable than the other guys, but I think a lot

1372
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:49,840
Speaker 1: of it was that Evans and Goden were beaten down

1373
01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:52,280
Speaker 1: through injury throughout the course of last year, and Brown

1374
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:54,280
Speaker 1: came in fresh after not playing the first half of

1375
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:57,200
Speaker 1: the season. It should be noted they've stated that Mike Evans,

1376
01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:00,679
Speaker 1: they think Mike Evans is in the like he's worked

1377
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:04,040
Speaker 1: harder than he has any other offseason. They absolutely love

1378
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:06,600
Speaker 1: what he's doing right now. They think he's in prime

1379
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:10,000
Speaker 1: of the dreaded best shape of his ever. Listened to that,

1380
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 1: We've learned, we've learned, We've learned. Rob Gronkowski gets a

1381
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 1: C grade you're you're looking for touchdowns with because the

1382
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 1: volume is not there to make him usually a PPR helper,

1383
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 1: but you've got an opportunity for just that in this game.

1384
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: The Cowboys were shockingly good against tight ends last year.

1385
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 1: They ranked second in yards allowed, and no tight end

1386
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 1: top thirty eight yards in a game against them in

1387
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:36,519
Speaker 1: the entire second half of the year. But again we're

1388
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 1: looking for touchdowns. They allowed a healthy seven touchdowns to

1389
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 1: tight ends, and that's what you hope you can get

1390
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:46,760
Speaker 1: from Gronk. Gronk will frequently match up against rookie linebacker

1391
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons, making his first ever NFL start. Now, he

1392
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:52,760
Speaker 1: was a first rounder, and Micah Parsons maybe a great

1393
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:56,760
Speaker 1: player at some point, but game one, you know, maybe not.

1394
01:18:56,840 --> 01:18:59,760
Speaker 1: In game one, we'll give the advantage to Rob Gronkowski.

1395
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 1: And finally, let's talk the running back. So I'm giving

1396
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:06,559
Speaker 1: Leo Fournette and Ronald Jones both see grades here. It

1397
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:09,280
Speaker 1: is a tantalizing matchup, which I'll talk about in a minute,

1398
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 1: But this is the league's most inscrutable running back by committee,

1399
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:14,719
Speaker 1: and there's no reason to think that Bruce arians usage

1400
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:17,519
Speaker 1: will be any more guessable this year than it has

1401
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:21,080
Speaker 1: been in the past. For Net dominated the playoffs. You

1402
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 1: guys know that, but that doesn't mean anything, and Bruce

1403
01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 1: arians might flip the script just because also they've probably

1404
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:30,559
Speaker 1: feel you have a super Bowl team, so they might

1405
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:33,439
Speaker 1: not try to run one too hard, right, They could

1406
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:36,639
Speaker 1: easily flip flop these guys around. The Dallas run defense

1407
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:38,799
Speaker 1: was off of last year. They marng thirtieth in rushing

1408
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:41,679
Speaker 1: yards per carry, thirty feet in rushing yards per game.

1409
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 1: Maybe a healthy latent vander Esh will help. Maybe Micah

1410
01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:48,760
Speaker 1: Parsons will help those are you know, new additions for

1411
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:51,400
Speaker 1: you know, after vendor Esh missed a lot of last year,

1412
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 1: there's only a few years removed from being one of

1413
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:55,840
Speaker 1: the best in the league, right, So you know, maybe

1414
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 1: those things will help this run defense. But until we

1415
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 1: know that's the fact, this feels like an opportunity. But

1416
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:03,200
Speaker 1: you've got a lot of danger here, and you guys

1417
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 1: all know it. For Nette and Jones c Grade, you

1418
01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:07,799
Speaker 1: just know that you're flirting with danger, do you. Bernard

1419
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:09,840
Speaker 1: may not play. He's got a high ankle sprain, and

1420
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:11,479
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna go in this game. And

1421
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:14,599
Speaker 1: never I don't start anybody who's playing through a high

1422
01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:18,040
Speaker 1: ankle spring Yeah, I'm super right now, and you know

1423
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:22,719
Speaker 1: exactly Um, you barely made it to the studio barely,

1424
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:25,519
Speaker 1: that's right, you were. You came in questionable but got

1425
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 1: it out all right. So there's your breakdown of the

1426
01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:31,120
Speaker 1: Thursday night game. Okay, let's release our final set of

1427
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:34,719
Speaker 1: sleepers for this year. Matt, who you got? I got

1428
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:37,840
Speaker 1: Juan Johnson and it's a guy maybe you haven't heard

1429
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:41,600
Speaker 1: of before. Um, but fantasy football is all about opportunity,

1430
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:44,599
Speaker 1: and there are lots of opportunities that catch passes for

1431
01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:46,599
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints right now, or should I say

1432
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:50,160
Speaker 1: that Jacksonville Saints or whatever they are. Michael Thomas is

1433
01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:52,720
Speaker 1: out for a month or more. Tray Kawon Smith is

1434
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:56,080
Speaker 1: not good. Mark has Callaway has come on as of late.

1435
01:20:56,120 --> 01:20:58,759
Speaker 1: But Adam Troutman was supposed to be the target darling

1436
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:01,479
Speaker 1: in this offense. He was carted off with an ankle

1437
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:04,639
Speaker 1: injury a week ago. Nick Vannette is the next tight

1438
01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:06,879
Speaker 1: end in line on the depth chart. He's also injured.

1439
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:12,280
Speaker 1: So insert converted wide receiver, second year tight end Juwan Johnson.

1440
01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:15,120
Speaker 1: We love second year tight ends. We love tight ends

1441
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 1: that were converted wide receivers or basketball players, and Johnson

1442
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:21,559
Speaker 1: played wide receiver in College of both Penn State and Oregon.

1443
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:25,120
Speaker 1: Has been one of Jamis Winston's favorite targets this preseason.

1444
01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:29,240
Speaker 1: Johnson's best strength maybe his elusiveness after the catch, and

1445
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 1: he's looking like he maybe the top tight end on

1446
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:34,080
Speaker 1: their depth chart in week one. But he's probably listed,

1447
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 1: but he might be listed as a wide receiver in

1448
01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 1: your league. So check it out. You might have to

1449
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:40,160
Speaker 1: switch the positions if you're in if you're in a

1450
01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 1: league that can do that, but he might be listed

1451
01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:44,639
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver in your league. Yeah, at katine

1452
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:46,920
Speaker 1: leagues dot Com, we had we went and we had

1453
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:49,439
Speaker 1: to switch him to tight end because he's he has

1454
01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 1: That's right, all right? Who is your final sleeper of

1455
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 1: the preseason, Scott, I am going with Amen Ross st Brown.

1456
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:00,360
Speaker 1: You've probably heard me talk about him a few times

1457
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:05,480
Speaker 1: on this show. They they kept Tyrolle Williams and they dropped,

1458
01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:12,639
Speaker 1: they waved. Remember Brett, I was gonna say, that's right, shot, Ferryman. Uh,

1459
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:15,559
Speaker 1: Tyrell Williams has already banged up. Aman Ra has the

1460
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: slot down and and they only have two other guys

1461
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:20,960
Speaker 1: that can play the slot on the team. You have

1462
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:25,599
Speaker 1: a five ft nine hundred sixty pound calif Raymond, who

1463
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:27,559
Speaker 1: is not going to beat out their fourth round pick.

1464
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:32,759
Speaker 1: And then you have Trinity Benson who spent two years

1465
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:35,559
Speaker 1: on a practice squad and has just come over to

1466
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:38,519
Speaker 1: the team. That slot role is his. He's gonna get

1467
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:41,519
Speaker 1: every bit of the slot work on that team. Um.

1468
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:44,920
Speaker 1: They did pick up Carder Hodge from Cleveland, but he's

1469
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 1: also unlikely to you know, jump in the slot and

1470
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 1: take any any staffs from am Right. My final sleeper

1471
01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:55,479
Speaker 1: is Baker Mayfield. When we look back at last year

1472
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 1: and you look at his full season totals, they're kind

1473
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: of underwhelming. But and I think Matt you may have

1474
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:04,080
Speaker 1: brought this up a week or two ago. You did.

1475
01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 1: If you remove these three crazy bad weather games that

1476
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:12,800
Speaker 1: they had in the consecutive home games. Um, if you

1477
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:17,959
Speaker 1: take that out, suddenly Baker was a pretty good fantasy producer.

1478
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 1: His touchdown interstation interception ratio is great. And this upcoming

1479
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 1: year will be his second year with the same offensive

1480
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 1: coordinator and head coach, which he hasn't had head coach,

1481
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 1: head coach, and coach of the year last year. UM,

1482
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:33,720
Speaker 1: if you take out those three games and then pro

1483
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:36,880
Speaker 1: rate the his season across, he would have had a

1484
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:41,360
Speaker 1: thirty eight hundred yard thirty two touchdown season, which is

1485
01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:46,320
Speaker 1: exactly Ryan Tannehill from last year. Exactly, Ryan Daniel Tannehill

1486
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:48,640
Speaker 1: was quarterback eight last year. He's been drafted right now

1487
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:51,840
Speaker 1: is quarterback eleven, Baker Mayfield going off the board his

1488
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:57,920
Speaker 1: quarterback eighteen. That is an incorrect delta. There's value of

1489
01:23:58,160 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 1: the owners, there is fantasy. There's a lot of value there.

1490
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 1: And remember Baker Mayfield has started every game he's played

1491
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 1: in the postseason. He threw touchdowns in fourteen of his

1492
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:12,240
Speaker 1: fifteen non weather games, so he didn't go leave you

1493
01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 1: high and dry at any point. And yeah, Kevin Stefanski

1494
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:18,880
Speaker 1: has got a run heavy approach and that probably caps

1495
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:23,960
Speaker 1: his total upside. But as a safe second quarterback on

1496
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:28,080
Speaker 1: your team, I think Baker Mayfield's ideal. And you don't

1497
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:31,120
Speaker 1: even have to take him before round thirteen of your draft.

1498
01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 1: How how would you feel about him as your QB

1499
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:40,160
Speaker 1: one if you just totally slapped to and you grab

1500
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:43,560
Speaker 1: him and Tray Lance give me an upside guy after me.

1501
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 1: But you might actually have to take a Lance before Mayfield.

1502
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:50,599
Speaker 1: You probably do. But there you go around twelve and thirteen,

1503
01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 1: you could probably grab those two and be like, right,

1504
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:56,320
Speaker 1: I got Mayfield for safety, and then I've got this

1505
01:24:56,439 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 1: other upside quarterback which is a possibility. Let me run you,

1506
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:02,840
Speaker 1: Let me run you by the final sleeper I thought

1507
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:07,320
Speaker 1: about but did not use Quaes Watkins. Yeah that now

1508
01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 1: he most people have don't even know who I'm talking

1509
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:14,240
Speaker 1: especially you know, he might have some big that's what

1510
01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:17,160
Speaker 1: he's all about. He won the slot job for Philadelphia

1511
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:20,080
Speaker 1: and sent Travis Fulgum to the waiver wire. I mean

1512
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:23,360
Speaker 1: that's you know, and Folgum was pretty good last year.

1513
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:26,880
Speaker 1: They really like that kid. And I think he's you know,

1514
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:31,200
Speaker 1: I think he's a splash play guy who in spots

1515
01:25:31,240 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 1: starts is gonna be startable. You watch when we're doing

1516
01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:36,479
Speaker 1: our when we are doing our take a chance on

1517
01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:40,799
Speaker 1: the segment, and oftentimes we identify a slot wide receiver

1518
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:43,719
Speaker 1: who's got an easy matchup against the slot corner. Quas

1519
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:47,160
Speaker 1: Watkins name is gonna come up. He probably will, especially

1520
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:51,559
Speaker 1: since he lives in the NFC East. That helps as well.

1521
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:54,080
Speaker 1: That does help as well. And you know, look at

1522
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:56,639
Speaker 1: who's battling for for targets with outside you know they've

1523
01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:59,720
Speaker 1: got competent tight ends. But for receivers a rookie and

1524
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:02,760
Speaker 1: Jay W Reagor a rookie and Jalen Reagor. Right, So

1525
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, Qus Watkins, that was the guy I was

1526
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: thinking about. Atlanta made a sneaky move at the end

1527
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:09,880
Speaker 1: of the year. Sorry, at the end of last week,

1528
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 1: picking up Wayne Gallman and dropping Codrey Allison. That was

1529
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:19,320
Speaker 1: a sneaky move. Now, we've had some different opinions about

1530
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 1: Mike Davis. None of us think he's an elite runner.

1531
01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:23,960
Speaker 1: I think most of us think he's just an okay

1532
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:27,800
Speaker 1: starting running back. Wayne Goldman was good in spots last

1533
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:31,719
Speaker 1: year for the Giants. Do you think this bodes poorly

1534
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:36,720
Speaker 1: for Mike Davis. I think it bodes more poorly than

1535
01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 1: it did when Quadrea Allison was his backup, because I

1536
01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:43,040
Speaker 1: think Gallman is is a is a better option. I

1537
01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:46,400
Speaker 1: had no faith in Allison being anything that could take

1538
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:50,559
Speaker 1: really anything away from Mike Davis. But Wayne Gollman is

1539
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:54,600
Speaker 1: a guy who can take legitimate touches. The way I

1540
01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:57,679
Speaker 1: watched Mike Davis last year, he looked good in spots,

1541
01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:00,920
Speaker 1: but as as the game the starts aracked up, like

1542
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:03,880
Speaker 1: as the starts racked up, less and less and less so,

1543
01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:06,360
Speaker 1: and and I think that's why he's been a backup

1544
01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 1: most of his career. That so, I think that could

1545
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:12,280
Speaker 1: happen in this where maybe Mike Davis starts out as

1546
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:15,960
Speaker 1: the guy and he starts to wear and it's more

1547
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:18,799
Speaker 1: of a split the further we get along. Yeah, that

1548
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:20,800
Speaker 1: that move did not get a lot of attention, but

1549
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:23,360
Speaker 1: it definitely caused a little bit of concern for me.

1550
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:25,760
Speaker 1: Matt Well, and are we sure that twenty eight year

1551
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:29,400
Speaker 1: old Mike Davis, which is ancient for a running back,

1552
01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 1: are we sure that he's good? Are we absolutely sure?

1553
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 1: Because I'm definitely not And not that I'm sure that

1554
01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:39,920
Speaker 1: Wayne Gallman is good or any better, but that there's

1555
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 1: not enough there for us to go. This can't be

1556
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:45,880
Speaker 1: a split backfield here. It's it's not as clear as

1557
01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:48,880
Speaker 1: everybody thinks. It's just Mike Davis, That's what it was. Yeah,

1558
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:51,160
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody loved Mike Davis. We just loved

1559
01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 1: the situation. We love the opportunity and you get more

1560
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:57,600
Speaker 1: and more average runners well, and that was one of

1561
01:27:57,600 --> 01:27:59,680
Speaker 1: our traits of a running back bust guys that we

1562
01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:03,960
Speaker 1: thought a situation is great. But maybe he's he's maybe

1563
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:06,479
Speaker 1: not that good of a runner, and it's yeah, the

1564
01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:09,799
Speaker 1: situation is great, but just work out and Mike Davis,

1565
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 1: he's not not built for goal line use. But Wayne

1566
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:15,880
Speaker 1: Goldman is to just put Kyle Pitts in the background.

1567
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:18,360
Speaker 1: Just let him do everything it, let him be quarterback.

1568
01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:20,479
Speaker 1: I know there are some people that would love to

1569
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:22,960
Speaker 1: have Kyle Pitts. Many people think he's not a tight end.

1570
01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:25,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Pits is not a tight it. Maybe it's a quarterback.

1571
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:27,920
Speaker 1: Let's make it. Do you think he Kyle Pitts can

1572
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:31,479
Speaker 1: throw and catch the touchbass. That would be very Brad

1573
01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:34,040
Speaker 1: Johnson style. You can pull that off, would be wonderful.
