WEBVTT - Football is BACK

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.

0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:09.799
<v Speaker 1>Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from my Heart Radio,

0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and

0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>advice dot Com. Here's your host, Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly.

0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>It is officially a draft edition because at this point

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 1>everybody's drafting. You either just had your draft or it's

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:35.960
<v Speaker 1>just coming up now, and we're here to get you ready.

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>And by we I mean my cost. Today it's Scott

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Fish and Matt Harrison from Shocked Fantasy. Hello. Hi, great

0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 1>to have you guys here. It's draft season. It's the best.

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>This is like it's the best week of the year.

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>How many of you got left? Church? I got two

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>left to left? I got two left. I've got a

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>and I hate talking about my own league, so I'm

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna keep this very brief. I've got my whiskey guillotine

0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Lee in which, oh that sounds great. The winner gets

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 1>a bottle of whiskey from all seventeen of the people

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 1>who got cut over the course of the year. So

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 1>if you're the winner, you get seventeen incoming bottles drunk whiskey.

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to drink them all one night, Um.

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:18.680
<v Speaker 1>And then my other one is also kind of fun.

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.039
<v Speaker 1>It's similar to an old game that I devised for

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>The Onion. For a little while, The Onion had a

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>fantasy football game and I made that was all about inefficiency.

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.040
<v Speaker 1>You wanted to get like as many carries for your

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>running back as possible with the fewest number of yards,

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.959
<v Speaker 1>as many passes from your quarterback as possible with the

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>fewest number of yards and touchdowns. So I'm doing a

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 1>it's like a Nega league everything back. Yeah, I've played

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>in like race to the bottom leagues where you want

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 1>negative stuff to happen, but I like the inefficiency go

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>way better. Yes, right, And so you know you need

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 1>people who are still produced. They're getting the ball in

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>their hands and they just don't do anything with this.

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I love that. Yeah, I haven't heard of that before.

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>It's fun, um. And so those are my Those are

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 1>my two remaining drafts. And again I mentioned them only

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:09.239
<v Speaker 1>because they're fun, different and we love that stuff. Coming

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.079
<v Speaker 1>up over the course of the show, we will give

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.359
<v Speaker 1>you the teammates that we think are better to draft

0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>teammates people in the same team, same position. Would you

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>rather have guy A at his average draft position, or

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>guy B at his average draft position, or as as

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>as as we've done historically, just take the cheaper guy.

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:31.800
<v Speaker 1>It almost always goes to the cheaper guy. We'll almost

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.639
<v Speaker 1>we'll go through the training camp battles that we outlined

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 1>a month ago and tell you who won those. We'll

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.919
<v Speaker 1>answer three tough questions like we do every week. Well,

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 1>we've got a segment called I might just be wrong

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>in which we really just identify our fears that you know,

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.360
<v Speaker 1>we all take stands on things. What are the ones

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 1>that maybe we're not right about that we're laying awaken.

0:02:56.040 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>This is tough for yes, it is. And then uh,

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.799
<v Speaker 1>we'll wrap things up with a Thursday night game fantasy

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>preview because we will not have another show. We have

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:06.920
<v Speaker 1>a we have an NFL game, but we're the show

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>mail our final sleepers of the year. Let's go around

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.359
<v Speaker 1>each team for the final time here in the preseason

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.360
<v Speaker 1>and talk about the one thing you need to know

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.920
<v Speaker 1>about this the final week of the preseason before the

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 1>regular season starts, beginning with I think Matt has got

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 1>the Panthers. I do have the Panthers, who are set

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>to be one of the youngest teams in the league

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>with seventeen of their eighteen draft picks from the last

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>two years making the team. That's kind of unheard of. Uh.

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Their defense will make plenty of mistakes, but their offense

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 1>should be constantly throwing the ball. With CMC back and healthy,

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>plus the additions of Sam Donald, Terrace Marshall Jr. And

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Dan Arnold are ready to make some big impacts. Scott,

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 1>the Raiders, what do we need to know? Uh? They

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>ended up releasing John Brown, cementing that role for Brian

0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Brian Edwards in the on the roster and in starting lineup,

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 1>also Jayleen i R. So it's basically a two man

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>show at running back at least early in the season.

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Who has more touchdowns Kenyan Drake or Josh Jacobs Man.

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Don't we have a segment that is coming up later?

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:18.160
<v Speaker 1>You're right, I almost most touchdown call for the Packers.

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Starting left taboc tackle David baktr will begin the season

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 1>on the pup list as it recovers from last year's

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.919
<v Speaker 1>a c L. They're being very cautious with him. You know.

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>The Packers normally stalwart offensive line has undergone a lot

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.159
<v Speaker 1>of change over the past two years. They lost Brian

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.799
<v Speaker 1>Blaga last year, Corey Lindsley this season. Now bok tr

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Uh is out and he'll be replaced by Elkin Jenkins,

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 1>who has been awesome. But he's an interior lineman who's

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to kick out to left tackle now. And

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.159
<v Speaker 1>he's one of the greatest draft picks of the Packers

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 1>have had recently. He's been fantastic for them. Also, I'll

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 1>mention this rookie wide receiver and Marie Rogers doesn't appear

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.279
<v Speaker 1>anywhere near ready based on we've seen in preseason training

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 1>camp to make any impact here, and so he's got

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:05.039
<v Speaker 1>to be fifth on that depth chart. He yeah, that's

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>probably I think that's probably right about that. Okay, let's

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>let's turn over to Washington Matt. Only sixteen players remained

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.159
<v Speaker 1>from the roster that Ron Rivera inherited just over a

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 1>year ago. Some interesting names that made the cut at

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>the skill position. Sammis Reyes is a tight end who

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 1>never played football before this year. What wow, Okay, awesome? Huh.

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Dax Milne was the seventh round rookie wide receiver and

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>punt returner who beat out Antonio Gandy Golden for the

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.479
<v Speaker 1>last bott on the depth chart and undrafted running back

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Jared Patterson beat out Peyton Barber for a spot and

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 1>has some big flashes in the posseason. I'm telling you

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 1>watching him play, Jared Patterson is a decent player. He's

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 1>probably the handcuff to Antonio Gibson. He is the handcuff

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 1>you want if you're if you're the handcuffing type, Jared Patterson.

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Buffalo, Scott. I should add that they actually,

0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.599
<v Speaker 1>the Raiders actually did pick up Peyton Barber after he

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>was just remembering that now as he says that he'll

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 1>probably lead them in touchdowns. Right there you go. There's

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 1>your answer. Uh. For Buffalo, there's really not much. I'll

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.599
<v Speaker 1>just say that Dawson Knox secured the job. They released

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Jacob Hollister. It's not really relevant for fantasy, but Church

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 1>loves it when I waste twenty seconds saying nothing, thank you.

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Texans have rookie wide receiver Nico Collins, who was getting

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.039
<v Speaker 1>first team reps in the final preseason game and really

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.479
<v Speaker 1>only needs to be about Chris Conley to start the

0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:31.800
<v Speaker 1>season opposite Will Fuller, and I think there's a decent

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 1>chance that he does that. Nico Collins. I know, Scott,

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 1>you've been on Nico Collins. I'm on Nico Collins and

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.159
<v Speaker 1>so I want to make sure you know that. Also,

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 1>all three of the running backs got first and second

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.279
<v Speaker 1>team looks throughout the entire preseason. Philip Lindsay, David Johnson,

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 1>mark Ingram Avoid. Let's go to the Buccaneers. They play

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.159
<v Speaker 1>on Thursday. Man, Yeah, it's been a pretty quiet preseason

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 1>with all twenty two starters from offense and re defense returning.

0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 1>But one of the interesting things I found it they

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 1>have the worth easiest schedule in the league as the

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl champs, which doesn't happen very often. And in fact,

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.120
<v Speaker 1>if you play a league with team defense, the Bucks

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>should likely be close to the top spot because after

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>facing Dak Prescott in Week one, they do not face

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 1>another top fifteen quarterback from last year until Week fourteen

0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:23.680
<v Speaker 1>in Josh Allen. And that's it, Tang, they face nobody.

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>It's all rookies all the time this year and and

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 1>frankly bad quarterbacks. So the Buck's interesting defense this year

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 1>for sure. It sounds to all their starters known, all

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 1>their starters, they feels like they're going to the Super Bowl. Uh,

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 1>all right, Scott. Next up to Cleveland Brown another one.

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>There's not much news except for Donovan People's Jones just

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>keeps getting hype, but he's still going to kind of battle,

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 1>you know. Rishad Higgins there for the wide receiver. Three dirties.

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I guess, uh, if there's an injury, keep that minded,

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 1>to keep that not named in mind. And another in

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 1>a series of blows to the Colts offense, Starting left

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>tackle Sam Tevy tours a c L. That means longtime

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>veteran Eric Fisher, who by the way, has COVID right

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>now is is going to try to be ready by

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 1>week one to fill in there. It's possible the Colts

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 1>could start this season without their starting left tackle, left guard,

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.680
<v Speaker 1>and quarterback, although it looks like Carson Wentz is heading

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 1>towards playing in the opener. Let's next go to the

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Detroit Lions. Man, it's all about the running backs and

0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers. DeAndre Swift has been limited all camp with

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.960
<v Speaker 1>a growing injury, and Jamal Williams has quickly become a

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 1>favorite of both Lions fans and coaches alike. And nobody

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>wants to hear this, but I would bet a yeah, yeah,

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 1>taco best pork burrito that Williams outscores Swift and Fantasy

0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.840
<v Speaker 1>this year. Fantasy points, yeah, and Fantasy points. On the

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 1>other side, the Lions cut Brashod Pairman, which I talked

0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>about maybe happening last week, Tyrrelle Williams, a Monross st Brown,

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:55.520
<v Speaker 1>and a host of others, including the newly acquired Trinity

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Benson headline the weakest wide receiver corps I think I

0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>ever remember in the history of the NFL. It's down there,

0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>let's head next to the jet Scott. So Jamison Crowder

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:09.960
<v Speaker 1>still isn't prexing and he just got put on he's

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 1>injured and just got with a growing injury and just

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.440
<v Speaker 1>got put on the reserve COVID list. We don't know

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 1>yet at the time where you know doing this that

0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.680
<v Speaker 1>if it's the ten day or if what his vaccinations

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 1>test is, if it is if he's unvaccinated, he's missing

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:27.599
<v Speaker 1>week one, yes now because it's nine days away. Nay.

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Of note, Elijah Moore was sort of you know who

0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 1>was flashed basically from O. T A S. Four Wars.

0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Was my my worry hesitancy has always been well. Jamison

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Crowder is a slot receiver who's sitting ahead of him

0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>and he had to overcome Crowder. Elijah Moore just might

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 1>start with PLA never looked back, and you know that

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 1>might be that there may not be any factor there.

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 1>They have said Elijah Moore. If Crowder is out, Elijah

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Moore will bounce outside. Let's go to the Chiefs, where

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.160
<v Speaker 1>the battle to replace Sammy Watkins is. The number two

0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:03.080
<v Speaker 1>receivers still looks murky. You've got me Cole Hardman. DeMarcus

0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Robinson getting run with the first team offense in the

0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:08.679
<v Speaker 1>final preseason game Byron Pringle saw sometime with the ones,

0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.959
<v Speaker 1>but mostly the two's. I you don't want the second

0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:15.600
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver in Kansas City. It's never really panned out before,

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.319
<v Speaker 1>so maybe you just maybe you just don't care. But

0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 1>I think there's I know that mi Cole Hartman has

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.559
<v Speaker 1>been drafted in many leagues on the promise of him

0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 1>getting a big uptick in playing time and taking Sammy

0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Watkins spot, But I can't tell you that that's happened.

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Seattle. Matt Russell Wilson is entering his

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:34.840
<v Speaker 1>tenth season in the league, and in the previous nine

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 1>seasons he hasn't had an offensive line rank above eighteen

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 1>in Pro Football Focus pass blocking grades. That trend looks

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 1>to continue, as the Seahawks kept six tackles on their

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:49.320
<v Speaker 1>fifty three man roster. Nobody does that outside of Dwayne

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Brown the Sea. The Seahawks cycled through four different starting

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.680
<v Speaker 1>right tackles in camp. Brandon Shell looks like the projected

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.839
<v Speaker 1>starter right now, but it's bad. Next up the Broncos

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Scott so they released Royce Freeman, who then went to

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 1>the Panthers. Interestingly enough, the Ravens tried to pick up

0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:07.679
<v Speaker 1>Royce Freeman on waivers, which I think is that's a

0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.440
<v Speaker 1>little something there, But that just gives more confidence to

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 1>the Gordon Williams split. They just trust those two guys.

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I think you're right about that with Boone, and I

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.480
<v Speaker 1>are of course too. For the Rams, backup running back

0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Xavier Jones got cut in the wake of the Sony

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Michelle trade and his ankle injury. Jake funk is your

0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 1>third string running back for l A. Next up the

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Eagles Matt after the Gardner Minshew deal. The Eagles have

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the most depth at quarterback in the league with Hurts,

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.959
<v Speaker 1>Minshew and Joe Flacco. The beat writers are calling Flacco

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.079
<v Speaker 1>the number two right now, but people forget how good

0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Gardner Minshew was last season. He finished QB fifteen and

0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:48.320
<v Speaker 1>fantasy points per game average two fifty one yards per game,

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.960
<v Speaker 1>which is better than Kyler Murray uh and and Ryan

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Tannehill and yardage, completed sixty sent of his throws and

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:59.280
<v Speaker 1>sixteen touchdowns to only five picks. He's gonna maybe play

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.480
<v Speaker 1>more the people want to think. I know, I think

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 1>he's involved. We've said this all preseason. No quarterback and

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe no player has more volatility to him than Jalen Hurts,

0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 1>and this puts more pressure on Hurts if if he

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:19.360
<v Speaker 1>doesn't pass well, They've got really two viable backups that

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.840
<v Speaker 1>can step in and take that spot from him. This

0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.319
<v Speaker 1>is a This is something you have to be concerned

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.400
<v Speaker 1>about if you're a Jalen Hurts owner. Next up the

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.839
<v Speaker 1>Miami Dolphins. Scott I mentioned it last week that that

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.439
<v Speaker 1>guests can really seems to be the guy there. So

0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll go to something new where the owner apparently really

0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 1>really wants Deshaun Watson. But I don't think even if

0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:40.880
<v Speaker 1>he goes there, I don't think he plays this this

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 1>not this year. Let's go to Minnesota or Smith's season

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 1>is officially over as he's got a timetable to return

0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:51.679
<v Speaker 1>that looks like December or January. Tyler Conklin and new

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Viking Chris Herndon will likely share duties once Herndon gets

0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:01.760
<v Speaker 1>acclimated into the lineup. Anyway, there are very few qualified

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 1>options to catch a Kirk Cousins pass on roster right now.

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.359
<v Speaker 1>Justin Jefferson and I'm feeling are going to be targeted

0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:15.600
<v Speaker 1>like crazy in this offense. Next up, Cowboys offensive line

0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.280
<v Speaker 1>should rebound in a big way, and it's left tackle

0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Tyrant Smith returns after playing just a hundred and fifty

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:24.480
<v Speaker 1>four snaps last season. Right tackle l Collins returns after

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 1>missing all of due to hip surgery. Zack Martin is

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:29.520
<v Speaker 1>one of the best right guards in the game. Connor

0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Williams finished seventeenth overall in pff S grading. So the

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys bring that offensive line back. Let's go Patriots. Scott

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.840
<v Speaker 1>mac Jones won the job. Cam Newton is a free

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:46.720
<v Speaker 1>agent now, probably good for Harris uh The goal line

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 1>work is gone from Cam Uh stid him on the pupe.

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Hoyer got resigned, he got released and then resigned. So

0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.640
<v Speaker 1>that's those are the only two quarterbacks on roster right now.

0:13:56.240 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 1>By the way, Cam Newton two Baltimore war seems like

0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 1>the greatest idea that they could have because they only

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.559
<v Speaker 1>have Tyler Huntley as the backup on roster right now.

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.439
<v Speaker 1>They wouldn't have to change much in that offense if

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.120
<v Speaker 1>they if Lamar Jackson were to go down and Huntley

0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.959
<v Speaker 1>super athletic two. So I mean they like that type

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.440
<v Speaker 1>of player and so it could make some sense. I

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 1>think Cam's just gonna wait for an injury. He's just

0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 1>probably a starter to get hurt and then raise his

0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.360
<v Speaker 1>hand and they'll probably get signed. By the way, the

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:28.200
<v Speaker 1>backup for one day for the Patriots to Mac Jones

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:33.280
<v Speaker 1>was Jacoby Buyers, which for the Saints, it appears that

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 1>the starting wide receivers for the Saints home game in

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville will be Deonte Harris and Marquez Callaway trade Kwon

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Smith's still not practicing due to an undisclosed injury, and

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Michael Thomas on I are did you hear how the

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Saints chose Jacksonville is the site? And all I saw

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:53.000
<v Speaker 1>is that they did a comprehensive search for sites and

0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 1>that's what they came up. But they also wanted to

0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:58.200
<v Speaker 1>play in Florida because Aaron Rodgers was three and four

0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:02.000
<v Speaker 1>in Florida history, Jacksonville was the one that was most

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 1>expensive for flight travel costs for Green Bay fans to

0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 1>go to Florida. I love it all right, they'll tend

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 1>to New York for the Giants. Uh Sa Kwan? Is

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.280
<v Speaker 1>he a trap? I think he might be. First off,

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:20.440
<v Speaker 1>we have no idea when he'll play Week one, is

0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.040
<v Speaker 1>no guarantee when he returns. Does he get Bell cow usage?

0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.560
<v Speaker 1>And according to Pro Football Focus, the Giants have the

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 1>worst offensive line in the NFL. Can Daniel Jones keep defense?

0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Is honest? Kenny Golladay is already gimpy. This is looking messy.

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.320
<v Speaker 1>But I might put my hat in my hand and

0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.800
<v Speaker 1>talk a little bit about se Kwon later. Okay, let's

0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.000
<v Speaker 1>go to the Tennessee Titan. Scott Ryan Tannehill put on

0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 1>the COVID list. However, he is vaccinated, so he just

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 1>needs to clear two negative tests before he can come back.

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 1>He's probably not in danger of missing meek one week one,

0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 1>but we'll see. Yeah, and it's a contact thing. He's

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.840
<v Speaker 1>not believed to have COVID for the Steelers. Minor injuries

0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:00.560
<v Speaker 1>to James Washington and Chase Claypool or in the rear

0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.640
<v Speaker 1>view mirror, and both of them should be playing Week one.

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Next up the Falcons. Matt Our own Brian Johnson predicts

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 1>that Kyle Pitts will be an absolute force in the

0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:12.880
<v Speaker 1>red zone this year, where Matt Ryan was one of

0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:16.160
<v Speaker 1>six quarterbacks with at least eighty pass attempts and guys

0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 1>like Hayden Hurst, Russell Gauge, Brandon Powell, Lakwan Treadmill combined

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 1>to score eleven touchdowns. Can you tell Brian wanted me

0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 1>to mention this for this show? Obviously he's He's a source.

0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati Scott Chris Evans has won the third the third

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.280
<v Speaker 1>running back role there. There's a ton of buzz around him,

0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.240
<v Speaker 1>and he's a better pass catcher than p Ryan. I

0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:47.720
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't if I'm a mixing owner or not, I would

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.240
<v Speaker 1>look at him if there's anything that happens to mixing.

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Have zero shares a mixing. Next up San Francisco, Trey

0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Lance chipped a bone in his finger. He's gonna miss

0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:00.120
<v Speaker 1>a week of practice and he wasn't expected to start anyway,

0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.760
<v Speaker 1>But the injury all but assures Garoppolo gets, if all,

0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:06.400
<v Speaker 1>if not if the starting job and most likely all

0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:08.560
<v Speaker 1>of the work in at least week one. The Niners

0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.000
<v Speaker 1>have a very week schedule to start the year two.

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 1>This could hang on for a really long time, and

0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.199
<v Speaker 1>I think we're looking at ten weeks at least of

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Garoppolo for a moment. What did you think of that?

0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.879
<v Speaker 1>Them splitting the first team running back and forth, Like, no,

0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I hate that fantasy. That's the worst thing that could

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:29.440
<v Speaker 1>happen for fantasy. Well, kind of brilliant for a kind

0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:33.360
<v Speaker 1>of from a football standpoint, Yes, from a fantasy standpoint,

0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.119
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing we hait worse on the platooning quarterbacks. You

0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:41.520
<v Speaker 1>never know less you're in one of those team quarterback leagues. Um,

0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.119
<v Speaker 1>are there any of those left? I mean you have

0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:48.719
<v Speaker 1>to be like in a big that's that's that way.

0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.719
<v Speaker 1>Forty Niners is one other thing. Starting slot receiver from

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the Niners, Mohammed sanu Oh, Daddy mohammeds and Daddy Sr.

0:17:56.920 --> 0:18:00.639
<v Speaker 1>Mohammed And I figured he was here was done, but

0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.640
<v Speaker 1>not the case yet. Cardinals, Matt It's been a pretty

0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:07.240
<v Speaker 1>quiet camp surrounding Kyler Murray. The Cards have already said though,

0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.400
<v Speaker 1>that some injuries to Murray might have prevented him from

0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:12.000
<v Speaker 1>throwing more last season. He handed up under the four

0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:14.840
<v Speaker 1>thousand passing yards mark last year, but his rushing upside

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:16.880
<v Speaker 1>was amazing. But will they try to take the ball

0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:18.520
<v Speaker 1>out of his hands a little bit more to get

0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:21.400
<v Speaker 1>him throwing a little bit extra this year. That's yet

0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.480
<v Speaker 1>to be seen. Next up, Jacksonville Scott. This this doesn't

0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.479
<v Speaker 1>even feel worthy, but Jacob Hollister got signed for the Jags.

0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.159
<v Speaker 1>But that tight end depth chart is terrible, so maybe

0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:33.879
<v Speaker 1>there's not You're right. They also signed Tyrone Johnson from

0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:37.760
<v Speaker 1>the Chargers. That's a note I guess for Brian. Apparently

0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:39.480
<v Speaker 1>we're doing with this whole show is just about keeping

0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Brian happy. We want to make sure Brian's happy. For

0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:44.879
<v Speaker 1>the Ravens. Justice Hill return to practice after missing a

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.000
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks with an ankle injury. He is battling

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Tyson Williams for the backup job behind Gus Edwards. Final

0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:54.480
<v Speaker 1>couple of teams Chicago Matt Well Justin Fields is the

0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:56.399
<v Speaker 1>story of camp, but we're gonna talk about him in

0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:58.639
<v Speaker 1>the next segment. Here's a few facts about the Bears.

0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Though they're the old team in the league. Okay, they

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:06.439
<v Speaker 1>have a rookie defensive coordinator. They faced the toughest quarterback

0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:09.359
<v Speaker 1>schedule in the league. Their offensive line is one of

0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:11.919
<v Speaker 1>the worst in the league, and Andy Dalton won't be

0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:14.359
<v Speaker 1>able to hold that job very long because he's gonna

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:17.040
<v Speaker 1>be running and the negative game scripts are going to

0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.720
<v Speaker 1>make Justin Fields have to come in very very soon.

0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:25.520
<v Speaker 1>That offensive line looked so bad preseason. That's that is

0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:28.000
<v Speaker 1>what I think is going to contribute heavily to Andy

0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Dalton having to the demise, possible demise on the field,

0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:36.280
<v Speaker 1>demise of Andy Dalton. Final team is the Los Angeles Chargers.

0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:39.480
<v Speaker 1>They ended up waving both Tyrone Johnson and Joe Reid,

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.439
<v Speaker 1>really securing the roles for Josh Palmer in that in

0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:44.520
<v Speaker 1>that offense is as the guy that will come in

0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:46.840
<v Speaker 1>if there's an injury on the outside or maybe get

0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:50.720
<v Speaker 1>some some snaps on the outside. Josh Kelly terrible preseason.

0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Justin Jackson completely locked up that backup role. Yeah, that's

0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:56.720
<v Speaker 1>anybody if you drafted Kelly get out now that. I

0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:58.919
<v Speaker 1>don't think there's gonna be any help coming that way.

0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:01.920
<v Speaker 1>When we come back, we'll go through the trainee camp

0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:06.960
<v Speaker 1>battle resolutions. Four weeks ago we identified all the training

0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:09.800
<v Speaker 1>camp battles we were going to follow. We'll tell you

0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:12.800
<v Speaker 1>the winners and losers of each one of those when

0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:37.959
<v Speaker 1>we come back. Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back, Fantasy Football Weekly,

0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Pault Charchie and Guillotine Leagues dot com. If you haven't

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:44.080
<v Speaker 1>tried a guillotine league, still time to get into a

0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:47.040
<v Speaker 1>guillotine league. If you've got friends you want to play with,

0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:49.399
<v Speaker 1>we can cover that at guillotine leagues dot com. Or

0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:51.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe you want to just join a league with strangers.

0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:55.200
<v Speaker 1>We've got guillote leagues at whatever prizing level you would

0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:57.440
<v Speaker 1>like to play for. As you already know, the way

0:20:57.440 --> 0:21:00.240
<v Speaker 1>the Guillotine League works is kind of special. A teen

0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:03.080
<v Speaker 1>teams start the season. That's one team for every week

0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:06.000
<v Speaker 1>of the year. Instead of head to head playing each week,

0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the bottom team gets cut and their entire team goes

0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:11.639
<v Speaker 1>to the waiver wire. We're pandemonium and sues. For the

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:13.639
<v Speaker 1>rest of us who are alive, all you have to

0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:15.600
<v Speaker 1>do is not be worst. You don't have to have

0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 1>the best team, just don't finish last. The last team

0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:21.040
<v Speaker 1>standing wins the whole thing. And one of the things

0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:23.159
<v Speaker 1>that's nice about the Guillotine League is people are like,

0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:25.720
<v Speaker 1>but charge, I don't have seventeen other friends. You can

0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:29.280
<v Speaker 1>set them up for however big or small Guillotine League

0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:32.520
<v Speaker 1>you want. That is correct. We support eight to eighteen

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:35.159
<v Speaker 1>size the gigs, and if you choose an eight or

0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:36.600
<v Speaker 1>a nine, you can play it twice in the same

0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Season's right you could. You know, if you get to

0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:41.119
<v Speaker 1>go with the nine team Guillotine League, you'll have a

0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:45.800
<v Speaker 1>winner after week eight. Redraft a little Guillotiny. Guillotini absolutely

0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:50.600
<v Speaker 1>also available at GI We have Guillotine's. Four weeks ago

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:53.240
<v Speaker 1>we identified the training camp battles we were going to watch.

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Now let's go back and see who won and did

0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:57.880
<v Speaker 1>the right team the right did the team get it right?

0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:04.200
<v Speaker 1>We begin Scott with Buffalo wide receiver situation beyond Stefon Diggs.

0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:07.439
<v Speaker 1>How about that? How about that third spot? So we

0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:11.080
<v Speaker 1>had Gabriel Davis going against Manny Sanders. There Manny Sanders,

0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Emmanuel Sanders had all but won the battle. Then he

0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:18.440
<v Speaker 1>got hurt. Uh and now they've split time since it

0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:21.000
<v Speaker 1>still seems like Emmanuel Sanders has got the job. Here.

0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:24.160
<v Speaker 1>In the last preseason game, he he worked both outside

0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:28.200
<v Speaker 1>and in the slot. Gabe played Eggs exclusively from the outside,

0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 1>but Gabe did way better catching every single pass throwing

0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:33.560
<v Speaker 1>his way on the score. So I think the battle

0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:35.879
<v Speaker 1>is still going on. Thirty four year old Manny Sanders

0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:39.120
<v Speaker 1>won't give it up yet. I think you and I

0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I know we want we want Gabriel Davis. It is

0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:44.960
<v Speaker 1>this is we're very much typical fantasy players. We want

0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the new guy, the young blood, you know, that's that's

0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:51.040
<v Speaker 1>always got a lot more appeal than the older players

0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:54.000
<v Speaker 1>generally do. But this thing could be murkier than we

0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:56.920
<v Speaker 1>want to think. Unfortunately. All right, Matt, let's go to

0:22:56.960 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the Chicago quarterback situation. Yeah, it was Andy versus Justin Fields,

0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:05.440
<v Speaker 1>and it's Dalton. For now, they're probably starting the wrong quarterback,

0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:07.680
<v Speaker 1>but how long will it? Last? Week one, they get

0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:10.880
<v Speaker 1>the Rams and that scary defense. Week to the Andy

0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Dalton revenge game against Cincinnati. That's kind of fun. Week

0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:17.399
<v Speaker 1>three at Cleveland that's a really good defense. And then

0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Week four is Detroit and that might be the place

0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:25.680
<v Speaker 1>that they want to start Justin Fields. So I think

0:23:25.680 --> 0:23:28.760
<v Speaker 1>he's still worth rostering in redraft leagues where you're looking

0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:31.919
<v Speaker 1>for some QB upside. But if it goes further than

0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:37.399
<v Speaker 1>week four, might be a little Field starts no later

0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:40.520
<v Speaker 1>than weeks I think we're pretty much that. I think

0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:43.320
<v Speaker 1>he's going too late given the rushing upside that he brings.

0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:48.160
<v Speaker 1>And if they if they announced today that Justin Fields

0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:50.840
<v Speaker 1>was gonna start like week two, he would jump up

0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:55.880
<v Speaker 1>three rounds easily. And he's probably he starts by week two,

0:23:55.920 --> 0:23:57.960
<v Speaker 1>and if not two, I think forward your point is

0:23:58.000 --> 0:24:02.040
<v Speaker 1>to throw him on your bench, leave him there. Let's

0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:04.240
<v Speaker 1>go to New England. We know who won the quarterback

0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:07.480
<v Speaker 1>job there, we do U. New England did did what

0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:10.840
<v Speaker 1>the Bears apparently were too scared to do and got

0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:13.320
<v Speaker 1>their rookie in there to start. Not much. I mean,

0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:15.960
<v Speaker 1>it's it's good for the passing game, it's gonna be

0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:17.960
<v Speaker 1>good for John Who, it's good for the running game.

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:20.000
<v Speaker 1>It's good for Harris, you know, because he's gonna get goal.

0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:22.639
<v Speaker 1>I know what it looks that Newton took. But what

0:24:22.680 --> 0:24:25.159
<v Speaker 1>I want to mention is mac Jones went from plus

0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:27.399
<v Speaker 1>one thousand to win Rookie of the Year to the

0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:31.919
<v Speaker 1>favorite just by that announcement. Unbelievable. I know people who

0:24:32.000 --> 0:24:34.480
<v Speaker 1>got that plus one thousand two. Really, Yeah, that's good,

0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 1>that's good money. Uh they've got I like that they've

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:41.280
<v Speaker 1>settled on a quarterback who can pass on like Cam Newton.

0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk more about that New England situation in Cam

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Newton's depart your next segment. The New Orleans UH quarterback situation,

0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:52.159
<v Speaker 1>Matt Jamis Winston versus Taysom Hill. I thought it was

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna be Hill at the beginning of the preseason, but

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Jamis Winston wanted because he can pass, because he can

0:24:58.520 --> 0:25:00.760
<v Speaker 1>end the day, your quarterback has to be able to pass.

0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:04.840
<v Speaker 1>That's true. But this whole battle has a whole bunch

0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:06.840
<v Speaker 1>of stink on it, and I just don't like it.

0:25:06.960 --> 0:25:09.040
<v Speaker 1>First off, Taysom Hill will not just sit on the

0:25:09.080 --> 0:25:11.479
<v Speaker 1>bench all game. He will be in as maybe a

0:25:11.480 --> 0:25:15.240
<v Speaker 1>goal line quarterback, weird gadget player. How much will he

0:25:15.320 --> 0:25:18.400
<v Speaker 1>take away from Winston? And that's not good Without bruised

0:25:18.440 --> 0:25:21.479
<v Speaker 1>and broken Michael Thomas, it feels like they're at an

0:25:21.480 --> 0:25:25.080
<v Speaker 1>all time low on skill players. Connection between Winston and

0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Marquez Callaway with something to behold in the preseason, but

0:25:28.320 --> 0:25:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm nervous about the Saints having to spend their first

0:25:31.000 --> 0:25:34.000
<v Speaker 1>month away from home. That's not ideal either. No, that

0:25:34.040 --> 0:25:37.520
<v Speaker 1>part is is worrisome. Scott. Let's go to the Denver

0:25:37.640 --> 0:25:41.960
<v Speaker 1>quarterback situation where I think they got it raw. Okay, yeah,

0:25:42.040 --> 0:25:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Teddy has this quarterback job on Lock one point oh one, Dad,

0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:52.600
<v Speaker 1>that's what you are a lot of I I do

0:25:52.680 --> 0:25:54.400
<v Speaker 1>agree with you. I think Lock would have been better

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:57.960
<v Speaker 1>for fantasy just because his upside is unreal. But we

0:25:57.960 --> 0:26:00.840
<v Speaker 1>we do have to remember that a quarter uck can

0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:04.280
<v Speaker 1>be pretty average and support wide receivers. Last year, Teddy

0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:08.359
<v Speaker 1>for the Carolina Panthers had three top thirty wide receivers

0:26:08.440 --> 0:26:11.040
<v Speaker 1>in both points per game and total fantasy points over

0:26:11.080 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 1>the course of the but they were all about I

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:17.040
<v Speaker 1>heard something. I heard a really good stat from Warren

0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Sharp that Bridgewater faced the toughest passing defense schedule in

0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the league last year in Carolina and he faces the

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:26.720
<v Speaker 1>easiest schedule this year. And I did see that it

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:29.679
<v Speaker 1>was the easiest. Um But but that statement of a

0:26:29.800 --> 0:26:32.080
<v Speaker 1>QB doesn't that, you know, can be a weak fantasy

0:26:32.080 --> 0:26:34.600
<v Speaker 1>asset and support a bunch of options. Looking at you,

0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Ben Roethlisberg, one UH San Francisco's quarterback situation, Matt, We've

0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:43.440
<v Speaker 1>alluded to it last second. Yeah, it's Jimmy Garoppolo versus

0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Trey Lance, and Jimmy has it for now. Uh. Of course,

0:26:46.880 --> 0:26:49.679
<v Speaker 1>Chart mentioned that Lance ended up with the fingertip injury,

0:26:49.680 --> 0:26:51.120
<v Speaker 1>which means he's going to sit out for a week

0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:53.080
<v Speaker 1>or so. I do expect him to suit up as

0:26:53.119 --> 0:26:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the backup in Week one, but Lance was equally as

0:26:56.040 --> 0:27:01.040
<v Speaker 1>tantalizing and predictably unpredictable for a guy with his pedigree

0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:03.639
<v Speaker 1>in preseason action. The more I watched a Lance, I

0:27:03.640 --> 0:27:06.720
<v Speaker 1>think he'll certainly be the last of the rookie quarterbacks

0:27:06.720 --> 0:27:08.760
<v Speaker 1>we see, and this one might extend a lot later

0:27:08.800 --> 0:27:11.239
<v Speaker 1>into the season before he starts. Then all of us

0:27:11.240 --> 0:27:15.320
<v Speaker 1>want to admit the Denver running back situation, we don't

0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:17.720
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of clarity here. We don't know. There's

0:27:17.760 --> 0:27:20.840
<v Speaker 1>not a lot of clarity. Uh. The b reporters think

0:27:20.840 --> 0:27:23.800
<v Speaker 1>it's Melvin, but he is Melvin Gordon, but he is

0:27:23.840 --> 0:27:26.960
<v Speaker 1>the one that actually played in the final preseason game

0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and they held Javonte out. Part of it could because

0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:31.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, Melvin Gordon's coming back from that injury, maybe

0:27:32.000 --> 0:27:34.680
<v Speaker 1>kick a little more rust off, you know, while he's

0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:37.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, trying to get back, or they didn't or

0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:42.439
<v Speaker 1>they wanted to protect their lead runners. I think that's it.

0:27:42.640 --> 0:27:46.040
<v Speaker 1>That's the scenario I watched. I had originally thought they

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:49.400
<v Speaker 1>were trying to showcase him for a trade to one

0:27:49.400 --> 0:27:52.520
<v Speaker 1>of these very running back needy teams. But you know

0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:55.399
<v Speaker 1>they got they got Rhoda Roy would be an interesting

0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:59.600
<v Speaker 1>move with Melvin Gordon ended up in maybe Baltimore Baltimore

0:27:59.840 --> 0:28:02.320
<v Speaker 1>or with the Rams or on behalf of all Gus

0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:05.719
<v Speaker 1>Edwards owners. You shush up about that. We're going through

0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:09.760
<v Speaker 1>the training camp battle resolutions. We outlined a month ago

0:28:09.840 --> 0:28:11.600
<v Speaker 1>the ones we were gonna watch. Now we're going through

0:28:11.760 --> 0:28:15.520
<v Speaker 1>the final set of winners and losers. The Arizona running

0:28:15.520 --> 0:28:20.439
<v Speaker 1>back situation. Yeah, Edmonds versus Connor, I cannot call a winner.

0:28:20.520 --> 0:28:22.679
<v Speaker 1>It's uh, it's there's no winner to be called. It's

0:28:22.720 --> 0:28:25.080
<v Speaker 1>a tie. Chase Edmonds is the top of the depth chart,

0:28:25.160 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 1>but will he be the guy at the goal line.

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:30.920
<v Speaker 1>He has one career carry inside the five yard line.

0:28:31.000 --> 0:28:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Kenyan Drake now in Vegas had twenty two inside the five,

0:28:34.240 --> 0:28:37.480
<v Speaker 1>so Edmonds clearly was not trusted there, and over the

0:28:37.520 --> 0:28:40.720
<v Speaker 1>last three seasons with Pittsburgh James Conner total twenty nine

0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:43.320
<v Speaker 1>carries inside the five and scored sixteen touchdowns, which is

0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:46.240
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good success rate. He's healthy for now and

0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:49.680
<v Speaker 1>if he ends up as the goal line guy, he's

0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:53.240
<v Speaker 1>probably the running back you want more in Arizona. Alright,

0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:58.320
<v Speaker 1>our final training camp battle resolution is among the Chargers

0:28:58.400 --> 0:29:01.360
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers, and this one came down to the wire

0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:05.120
<v Speaker 1>that did Tyrone Johnson got released, So it became between

0:29:05.200 --> 0:29:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Josh Palmer, who that has has splashed in the in

0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:11.720
<v Speaker 1>the training camp and UH in the preseason. Here UH

0:29:11.720 --> 0:29:14.880
<v Speaker 1>and Guitan. It looks like Guyton is going to be

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:16.800
<v Speaker 1>the slot backup and Palmer is going to be the

0:29:16.840 --> 0:29:19.160
<v Speaker 1>outside backup. That's basically how it's come down too. I

0:29:19.160 --> 0:29:21.920
<v Speaker 1>think you're right. Guyten played almost entirely slot last year

0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 1>and so he'll back up largely Keenan Outen, who runs

0:29:25.080 --> 0:29:27.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot from the slot. So I believe that that

0:29:28.000 --> 0:29:31.240
<v Speaker 1>is exactly how that part will work out when we

0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:33.400
<v Speaker 1>come back. It's a game we like to call three

0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:36.480
<v Speaker 1>tough questions. You can play along see if you can

0:29:36.520 --> 0:29:38.680
<v Speaker 1>go three and oh with our panel of experts, as

0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I pepper them with three mind bending questions sure to

0:29:45.680 --> 0:29:49.160
<v Speaker 1>shatter the confidence of my co host. Stay tuned to

0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:25.520
<v Speaker 1>This is a segment we call three tough questions. Tough

0:30:25.640 --> 0:30:30.200
<v Speaker 1>question number one, with the unfortunate end to j K

0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:34.880
<v Speaker 1>dobbins season, how many touchdowns will Gus Edwards score this

0:30:35.000 --> 0:30:40.800
<v Speaker 1>year A less than ten B ten to fourteen or

0:30:41.040 --> 0:30:45.640
<v Speaker 1>see fifteen or more. We begin with Scott Fish. I

0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:47.760
<v Speaker 1>could take the easy route and say he had seven

0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:51.440
<v Speaker 1>last year as the backup to Jake Dobbins in most

0:30:51.440 --> 0:30:54.040
<v Speaker 1>of those games. If you flip that, you and j

0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:56.040
<v Speaker 1>K Dobbins had nine. So if you flip that, he's

0:30:56.160 --> 0:30:58.520
<v Speaker 1>he's already close. But in the last three years, the

0:30:58.560 --> 0:31:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Ravens had nineteen Russian touch jowns, twenty one rushing touchdowns,

0:31:01.720 --> 0:31:05.360
<v Speaker 1>and twenty four rushing touchdowns. They've said emphatically they want

0:31:05.360 --> 0:31:07.800
<v Speaker 1>to pass more, but they're receiving options like they're all

0:31:07.800 --> 0:31:11.720
<v Speaker 1>they're they're all hurt at the moment. If we expect

0:31:11.800 --> 0:31:13.880
<v Speaker 1>them to be as run heavy, maybe right in the

0:31:13.880 --> 0:31:15.840
<v Speaker 1>middle of all that we're talking like, twenty one is

0:31:15.920 --> 0:31:19.640
<v Speaker 1>rushing touchdowns. Lamar historically takes seven of those, usually about

0:31:19.640 --> 0:31:22.840
<v Speaker 1>a third. So we're left, you know, in that fourteen

0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:26.600
<v Speaker 1>fifteen range is where the rushing touchdowns should be. Who's

0:31:26.640 --> 0:31:30.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna take them? Tyson Williams, Royce Freeman, they couldn't get

0:31:30.120 --> 0:31:32.960
<v Speaker 1>off waivers. Um I think I got him in the

0:31:33.000 --> 0:31:36.160
<v Speaker 1>ten to fourteen range. Fifteen plus would mean that they

0:31:36.240 --> 0:31:40.480
<v Speaker 1>run much much more, and that you know, Lamar tampers

0:31:40.560 --> 0:31:43.320
<v Speaker 1>down his rushing I don't think that's gonna happen. I'm

0:31:43.360 --> 0:31:47.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty I'm pretty sold on ten to fourteen here, okay, Matt,

0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:51.200
<v Speaker 1>with j K Dobbins season ending, how many touchdowns will

0:31:51.240 --> 0:31:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Gus Edwards have a less than ten? B ten to

0:31:54.240 --> 0:31:58.600
<v Speaker 1>fourteen or see fifteen or more touchdowns? And a little

0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:00.520
<v Speaker 1>bit disappointed that you and I did get to have

0:32:00.600 --> 0:32:03.360
<v Speaker 1>this battle all year with Dobbins and Gus Edwards just

0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:08.040
<v Speaker 1>because all Edwards and it just ended, and it's like

0:32:08.520 --> 0:32:13.400
<v Speaker 1>at their prices, my balloon is all deflated. Technically I

0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:18.600
<v Speaker 1>won Yeah, do that do that touchdown dance over there?

0:32:18.680 --> 0:32:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Chart on JK Dobbins getting hurt. I guess. First off,

0:32:22.720 --> 0:32:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the ten rushing touchdown threshold is really tough to hit.

0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Last year only eight running backs did it, the year

0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:32.920
<v Speaker 1>before only seven running backs did it, and the year

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:35.840
<v Speaker 1>before that only six running backs did it. It is

0:32:35.920 --> 0:32:38.719
<v Speaker 1>worth noting that JK. Dobbins did have nine rushing scores

0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:42.160
<v Speaker 1>last year. Gus had six from from running the ball

0:32:42.160 --> 0:32:45.920
<v Speaker 1>on one from receiving. In mark Ingram was one of

0:32:45.960 --> 0:32:48.680
<v Speaker 1>those guys who hit that ten mark with ten, and

0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Alex Collins led the running backs with seven the year before,

0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:54.120
<v Speaker 1>but he wasn't very good at all. So this offense

0:32:54.160 --> 0:32:56.720
<v Speaker 1>has a history of success for the running back, especially

0:32:56.720 --> 0:33:00.000
<v Speaker 1>with rushing touchdowns. Maybe not overall success all the time

0:33:00.160 --> 0:33:03.040
<v Speaker 1>with the yardage, but touchdowns they usually do accomplish that feat.

0:33:03.560 --> 0:33:05.880
<v Speaker 1>And that's one of the reasons I liked Dobbin so much.

0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:09.840
<v Speaker 1>So I will go tail between my legs and say

0:33:09.920 --> 0:33:13.360
<v Speaker 1>be ten to fourteen on Gus Edwards. I think he'll.

0:33:13.440 --> 0:33:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm a bit surprised that he's gonna do it,

0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:17.280
<v Speaker 1>but I think he will. Last year, the Ravens ran

0:33:17.360 --> 0:33:22.200
<v Speaker 1>the ball twenty six times from inside the five yard line.

0:33:23.320 --> 0:33:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Only three of those runs were by Lamar Jackson. We

0:33:26.840 --> 0:33:29.720
<v Speaker 1>touched on this last week. People think Lamar Jackson steals

0:33:29.800 --> 0:33:34.120
<v Speaker 1>goal line runs. He's not Cam Newton. If the Ravens

0:33:34.240 --> 0:33:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Runners are going to get the same twenty three carries

0:33:38.400 --> 0:33:42.040
<v Speaker 1>from inside the five, Gus is going to get almost

0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:44.640
<v Speaker 1>all of those probably, And if he gets almost all

0:33:44.680 --> 0:33:48.400
<v Speaker 1>of twenty three carries, we're at ten right there, a

0:33:48.440 --> 0:33:52.600
<v Speaker 1>minimum of ten right there for Gus Edwards. So if

0:33:52.640 --> 0:33:56.240
<v Speaker 1>he's got ten just from inside the five, last year,

0:33:56.600 --> 0:33:59.640
<v Speaker 1>half of his total touchdown number came from outside the

0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:02.840
<v Speaker 1>five yard line. So if you take the tenco now,

0:34:03.000 --> 0:34:06.400
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna get another ten. No, not doubling it. Half

0:34:06.440 --> 0:34:09.759
<v Speaker 1>his touchdowns, Half his touchdowns came from outside. So if

0:34:09.760 --> 0:34:12.799
<v Speaker 1>he's got ten from inside, half came from outside. While

0:34:14.320 --> 0:34:20.239
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about this is how he easily gets to fifteen.

0:34:20.800 --> 0:34:24.120
<v Speaker 1>If he has ten up close touchdowns we were talking,

0:34:24.520 --> 0:34:29.400
<v Speaker 1>fifteen is easy for Gus Edwards, easy to get. But

0:34:29.480 --> 0:34:33.200
<v Speaker 1>you're calling twenty, calling twenty. But I'll tell you what's

0:34:33.239 --> 0:34:36.440
<v Speaker 1>the right answer. Is c going, He's going he's getting

0:34:36.480 --> 0:34:40.160
<v Speaker 1>hit fifteen or more touchdown Where this line with a

0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:44.839
<v Speaker 1>personally to question number two, Cam Newton vacates twenty two

0:34:44.920 --> 0:34:47.840
<v Speaker 1>carries inside the five yard line for New England totally

0:34:47.840 --> 0:34:50.880
<v Speaker 1>out of the picture. Now, how many touchdowns will Daman

0:34:50.960 --> 0:34:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Harris score this year? Same bit, less than ten, ten

0:34:55.520 --> 0:34:58.480
<v Speaker 1>to fourteen or fifteen or more. We begin this time

0:34:58.560 --> 0:35:02.200
<v Speaker 1>with Matt Harrison. Harry enters his third year in the league.

0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:04.759
<v Speaker 1>In his rookie season as a third round pick out

0:35:04.760 --> 0:35:08.239
<v Speaker 1>of Alabama, Harris played in exactly one game, and last

0:35:08.320 --> 0:35:11.719
<v Speaker 1>year Harris averaged about fourteen rushing attempts per game. Uh,

0:35:11.760 --> 0:35:14.480
<v Speaker 1>splitting some time with Sony and and a seating all

0:35:14.560 --> 0:35:17.320
<v Speaker 1>goal line work to Cam. But when it became clear

0:35:17.360 --> 0:35:19.880
<v Speaker 1>that the Pats were out of the playoff picture, Harris

0:35:19.960 --> 0:35:22.560
<v Speaker 1>was put on the shelf in wrapping paper and they said,

0:35:22.760 --> 0:35:24.960
<v Speaker 1>now you don't need to play anymore. We got you.

0:35:25.040 --> 0:35:28.120
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna take the mileage off of you. Uh. Ramandre

0:35:28.239 --> 0:35:30.719
<v Speaker 1>Stevenson is a consideration near the stripe, as he's been

0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:33.120
<v Speaker 1>good in that role in the preseason. But when the

0:35:33.120 --> 0:35:36.640
<v Speaker 1>game's count, I think Stevenson is inactive more often than not.

0:35:36.760 --> 0:35:39.640
<v Speaker 1>As a rookie runner in that offense, I think Harris

0:35:39.680 --> 0:35:42.960
<v Speaker 1>goes for ten to fourteen touchdowns as well. All right,

0:35:43.320 --> 0:35:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Scott with Cam Newton gone. And remember, by the way,

0:35:47.160 --> 0:35:49.399
<v Speaker 1>at this time last week, before Cam Newton a big cut,

0:35:50.400 --> 0:35:55.280
<v Speaker 1>we were worried that they would bring Cam in off

0:35:55.280 --> 0:35:57.600
<v Speaker 1>the bed, you know, we were like, mac Jones is

0:35:57.640 --> 0:36:00.680
<v Speaker 1>way better path, He's gonna win, but we'll bring in

0:36:00.800 --> 0:36:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Cam off the bench and end up putting Cam in

0:36:04.120 --> 0:36:06.120
<v Speaker 1>in situationally in at the goal line. We don't have

0:36:06.160 --> 0:36:08.920
<v Speaker 1>to worry about that anymore, which is fantastic. So how

0:36:08.960 --> 0:36:11.960
<v Speaker 1>many touchdowns will Damian Harris score this year? Less than ten,

0:36:12.360 --> 0:36:15.840
<v Speaker 1>ten to fourteen or fifteen or more so, only twice

0:36:15.880 --> 0:36:18.360
<v Speaker 1>in the last twenty years have Pats had two similar

0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:20.960
<v Speaker 1>big backs. And we're gonna talk about you know, Romandre

0:36:21.000 --> 0:36:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Stephenson and Damien Harris here, uh, you know, doing this

0:36:26.200 --> 0:36:30.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of work. And both times both running backs scored

0:36:30.200 --> 0:36:34.200
<v Speaker 1>six plus touchdowns Dylan and Moroney and Ridley and brlunt Um,

0:36:34.280 --> 0:36:36.799
<v Speaker 1>which generally bodes well. But also if you look at

0:36:36.800 --> 0:36:39.839
<v Speaker 1>that twenty year history of Belichick, he does not let

0:36:39.920 --> 0:36:43.040
<v Speaker 1>rookies jump into the goal line role. He just doesn't.

0:36:43.360 --> 0:36:47.000
<v Speaker 1>The law firm Ben Jarvis green Ellis had a great

0:36:47.000 --> 0:36:49.840
<v Speaker 1>preseason with rushing touchdowns, did not get it in the

0:36:49.880 --> 0:36:52.759
<v Speaker 1>regular season. His rookie year, same with Jonas Gray and

0:36:52.880 --> 0:36:56.320
<v Speaker 1>other big backs that they've had. Um Stevenson also fumbled

0:36:56.360 --> 0:36:58.440
<v Speaker 1>one on the goal line that got called back. That

0:36:58.440 --> 0:37:03.240
<v Speaker 1>that means he's he's going to absolutely sit all year. No, no, no,

0:37:03.680 --> 0:37:07.719
<v Speaker 1>the senses Belichick isn't super likely to trust Stevenson. There

0:37:07.800 --> 0:37:13.200
<v Speaker 1>might even trust James Whitemore there. Uh maybe, Hey, he

0:37:13.280 --> 0:37:16.640
<v Speaker 1>scored three rushing touchdowns in the Super Bowl. Come on,

0:37:17.560 --> 0:37:20.359
<v Speaker 1>but I'm going to go with the tender fourteen just

0:37:20.440 --> 0:37:23.440
<v Speaker 1>because I think Stevenson will get some but not as

0:37:23.520 --> 0:37:26.480
<v Speaker 1>much as some people might want to think. All right,

0:37:26.560 --> 0:37:28.520
<v Speaker 1>let's start with the math and begin Actually, I want

0:37:28.520 --> 0:37:32.040
<v Speaker 1>to start by attacking the naysayers who say they will

0:37:32.080 --> 0:37:34.239
<v Speaker 1>never draft a Bill Bell. Did you want one of

0:37:34.320 --> 0:37:36.839
<v Speaker 1>us to be the naysayers? Get you, guys, nobody's name.

0:37:36.960 --> 0:37:40.399
<v Speaker 1>We're not naying we're not horses. Where's our horse noise?

0:37:40.480 --> 0:37:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Where's our horses? I have no naysayers in this group.

0:37:45.280 --> 0:37:48.360
<v Speaker 1>The Garrett Blunt were three seasons removed from the Garrett

0:37:48.360 --> 0:37:52.719
<v Speaker 1>Blunt leading the NFL in touchdowns eighteen, almost all of

0:37:52.760 --> 0:37:58.440
<v Speaker 1>them up close. Dion Lewis the second. Over the past

0:37:58.600 --> 0:38:02.680
<v Speaker 1>five years, no team has more carries inside the five

0:38:02.760 --> 0:38:06.719
<v Speaker 1>yard line than Bill Belichick's Patriots, and that was with

0:38:06.760 --> 0:38:09.919
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady on roster, and they still ran the ball

0:38:09.960 --> 0:38:13.120
<v Speaker 1>at the stripe more than any other team. Over the

0:38:13.160 --> 0:38:16.640
<v Speaker 1>past five years, no team has scored more rushing touchdowns

0:38:16.680 --> 0:38:21.319
<v Speaker 1>from inside the five yard line than the Patriots. Do

0:38:21.320 --> 0:38:24.160
<v Speaker 1>you really not want any part of that just because

0:38:24.160 --> 0:38:28.440
<v Speaker 1>it's Belichick? You do so again? Over the last five years,

0:38:28.480 --> 0:38:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Patriots averaging averaging thirty two carries from inside the five.

0:38:34.719 --> 0:38:37.640
<v Speaker 1>That's a staggering number and again the most in the NFL.

0:38:38.560 --> 0:38:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Damien Harris for the reason Scott and you both actually outlined,

0:38:42.200 --> 0:38:43.879
<v Speaker 1>Damian Harris is going to get most of that work.

0:38:43.880 --> 0:38:47.239
<v Speaker 1>Can I agree that Ramandri Stevenson as a rookie is

0:38:47.280 --> 0:38:50.160
<v Speaker 1>not likely to get Belichick's trust Here? If you're about

0:38:50.200 --> 0:38:57.080
<v Speaker 1>to say fifteen plus for Damian Harrison, can I parlay that? So? Okay? Well,

0:38:57.120 --> 0:39:00.480
<v Speaker 1>you tell me thirty two carries. Let's as sue him.

0:39:00.880 --> 0:39:03.319
<v Speaker 1>If that's the average for the Patriots from inside the five,

0:39:03.760 --> 0:39:07.799
<v Speaker 1>you guys know that your your level of expectation is

0:39:07.800 --> 0:39:11.799
<v Speaker 1>around fifty conversion of the thirty two carries into touchdowns.

0:39:12.239 --> 0:39:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Give me the range from just the inside. The five

0:39:14.600 --> 0:39:18.400
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns for Damien Harrison, Oh, he'll obviously score at least

0:39:18.480 --> 0:39:22.719
<v Speaker 1>sixteen at least. I think we already gave you our

0:39:24.120 --> 0:39:27.440
<v Speaker 1>So let's say he's not as efficient as we'd like,

0:39:28.000 --> 0:39:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and he's only at about one third efficiency here, and

0:39:30.600 --> 0:39:34.399
<v Speaker 1>it's only ten touchdowns on these touch on these goal

0:39:34.440 --> 0:39:38.480
<v Speaker 1>line runs for Damien Harris, he's gonna score some from distance, right,

0:39:38.800 --> 0:39:41.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if he's got ten touchdowns up close, and

0:39:41.560 --> 0:39:46.480
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna get five over seventeen games, right, So that

0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:50.600
<v Speaker 1>brings you to fifteen touchdowns he catches maybe one, maybe

0:39:50.600 --> 0:39:55.520
<v Speaker 1>one six the correct answer for Damian Harris. Also over

0:39:58.520 --> 0:40:00.640
<v Speaker 1>by the way, Gus Edwards and Dame mean Harris still

0:40:00.680 --> 0:40:03.720
<v Speaker 1>being drafted in the fourth round. Fantasy owners are slow

0:40:03.800 --> 0:40:06.960
<v Speaker 1>to react to this news. Neither one of them catches

0:40:07.040 --> 0:40:09.239
<v Speaker 1>very well, and I think PPR leagues have suppressed their

0:40:09.280 --> 0:40:12.919
<v Speaker 1>value a little bit tough. Question Number three, Jamar Chase

0:40:13.000 --> 0:40:17.240
<v Speaker 1>dropped four of his five targets during his preseason games.

0:40:18.280 --> 0:40:21.920
<v Speaker 1>What is the appropriate level of concern for the Bengals

0:40:21.960 --> 0:40:28.880
<v Speaker 1>rookie receiver? Is it none, some, or a bowl loosening

0:40:28.960 --> 0:40:33.879
<v Speaker 1>level of existential dread? Scott, I'm gonna with some here,

0:40:33.960 --> 0:40:37.360
<v Speaker 1>mostly because of his sixty two overall ADP, which is

0:40:37.440 --> 0:40:40.839
<v Speaker 1>just it's really high for a guy that's looking more

0:40:40.840 --> 0:40:42.600
<v Speaker 1>and more like he's going to be the third receiver

0:40:42.760 --> 0:40:46.279
<v Speaker 1>on his team, and uh, he's actually going ahead of

0:40:46.360 --> 0:40:49.840
<v Speaker 1>the other ones. Uh. Tee Higgins been going around later.

0:40:50.000 --> 0:40:52.000
<v Speaker 1>He hasn't played football in twenty months. I mentioned this

0:40:52.080 --> 0:40:54.319
<v Speaker 1>last week. He just hasn't played football in twenty months.

0:40:54.320 --> 0:40:56.759
<v Speaker 1>He needs needs to kick some rust off. But the

0:40:57.360 --> 0:41:01.960
<v Speaker 1>worst thing is Tee Higgins. Uh played a full year

0:41:02.040 --> 0:41:05.000
<v Speaker 1>last year with you know, ten games with Joe Burrow.

0:41:05.080 --> 0:41:07.359
<v Speaker 1>He played Joe Barrow, played with you know, Oddent Tate,

0:41:07.480 --> 0:41:10.960
<v Speaker 1>he played with Tyler Boyd. He's comfortable with them from

0:41:10.960 --> 0:41:13.680
<v Speaker 1>that year. He's a year removed from playing with Chase.

0:41:14.120 --> 0:41:16.239
<v Speaker 1>And if Chase comes in in week one and makes

0:41:16.280 --> 0:41:19.320
<v Speaker 1>those drops, how long before Burrow stops trusting that trusts

0:41:19.360 --> 0:41:23.480
<v Speaker 1>what he had last year? So some some I think

0:41:23.480 --> 0:41:25.680
<v Speaker 1>he saw I think he's talented enough that he's gonna

0:41:25.719 --> 0:41:29.000
<v Speaker 1>turn it around eventually. But it's some for now, alright,

0:41:29.040 --> 0:41:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Matt Jamaar. Chase has dropped forward his five targets during

0:41:32.000 --> 0:41:35.920
<v Speaker 1>his preseason games. The appropriate level of concern is none,

0:41:36.480 --> 0:41:41.439
<v Speaker 1>some or a bowl loosening level of existential dread, as

0:41:41.440 --> 0:41:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the band Cake once said, bowl shaking earthquakes of doubt

0:41:45.760 --> 0:41:49.440
<v Speaker 1>and remorse. That's what you'll get if you draft Jamar

0:41:49.520 --> 0:41:52.399
<v Speaker 1>Chase this year. Um I mentioned on an earlier show

0:41:52.440 --> 0:41:55.160
<v Speaker 1>this preseason that the Bengals offensive line is absolutely terrible.

0:41:55.600 --> 0:41:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Joe Burrow is gonna need to get rid of the

0:41:57.040 --> 0:41:59.280
<v Speaker 1>ball quickly if he hopes to avoid another knee injury.

0:41:59.400 --> 0:42:02.160
<v Speaker 1>They already got the two good wide receivers that Scott mentioned,

0:42:02.200 --> 0:42:04.440
<v Speaker 1>and I'm nervous that the Bengals won't be able to

0:42:04.520 --> 0:42:06.920
<v Speaker 1>run three wide receiver sets because they're going to need

0:42:06.960 --> 0:42:10.160
<v Speaker 1>to keep tight ends or maybe a fullback into block

0:42:10.239 --> 0:42:12.880
<v Speaker 1>for Joe Burrow. If the third wide receiver is not

0:42:12.920 --> 0:42:16.000
<v Speaker 1>on the field and Chase continues to have the drops these,

0:42:16.520 --> 0:42:18.920
<v Speaker 1>he's going to be the odd man out here. So

0:42:19.040 --> 0:42:26.400
<v Speaker 1>you're going with levels of existential dread. I'm like, I

0:42:26.480 --> 0:42:28.920
<v Speaker 1>like that we said that together. It was very special

0:42:30.560 --> 0:42:34.040
<v Speaker 1>considering where he's been taken and being taken and his

0:42:34.080 --> 0:42:36.640
<v Speaker 1>average draft position is wide receiver thirty two, which puts

0:42:36.719 --> 0:42:38.840
<v Speaker 1>him you know, there are thirty two teams in the NFL,

0:42:39.200 --> 0:42:41.799
<v Speaker 1>so people are drafting him like he's one of the

0:42:41.880 --> 0:42:46.000
<v Speaker 1>one of the eight team's best starting receiver considering where

0:42:46.040 --> 0:42:48.720
<v Speaker 1>he's being taken both Dynasty and Empire leagues and re draft.

0:42:49.239 --> 0:42:54.080
<v Speaker 1>You should have B L L E. D. Joe Burrows

0:42:54.080 --> 0:42:57.200
<v Speaker 1>in Covecient training camp is a worry. You've got the

0:42:57.239 --> 0:42:59.400
<v Speaker 1>bad offensive line. And I thought your point Matt on

0:42:59.480 --> 0:43:01.759
<v Speaker 1>the him on them needing to bring in tight ends

0:43:01.800 --> 0:43:05.040
<v Speaker 1>to block. I think it's extremely valid. Um the missed

0:43:05.080 --> 0:43:09.160
<v Speaker 1>year last season, which which Scott outlined, totally valid as well.

0:43:09.640 --> 0:43:11.840
<v Speaker 1>And then you guys both in on Tee Higgins and

0:43:11.880 --> 0:43:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Board are really good and established. Those guys aren't

0:43:15.560 --> 0:43:21.080
<v Speaker 1>going anywhere. The guy who is Jamaar Chase, that is

0:43:21.120 --> 0:43:24.040
<v Speaker 1>a concern. All right, let's go. I've got a bonus

0:43:24.120 --> 0:43:27.440
<v Speaker 1>question for you. Do I happen once upon a time

0:43:27.520 --> 0:43:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I had I had a had a tough question. I

0:43:30.080 --> 0:43:32.600
<v Speaker 1>had a tough question number four on my tough question

0:43:32.760 --> 0:43:36.520
<v Speaker 1>number Thank you very much. Which wide receiver should be?

0:43:36.520 --> 0:43:39.719
<v Speaker 1>Wide receiver one? Davante Adams or Tyree Hill Give me

0:43:39.800 --> 0:43:43.480
<v Speaker 1>fifteen seconds, uh, Davante Adams for me. I think Rogers

0:43:43.560 --> 0:43:45.480
<v Speaker 1>is just gonna go all revenge mode this year and

0:43:45.520 --> 0:43:48.680
<v Speaker 1>just want to prove light the light everything up on fire. Matt, Yeah,

0:43:48.760 --> 0:43:51.879
<v Speaker 1>I agree, Adams. He's a goal line wide receiver. He's

0:43:52.040 --> 0:43:55.399
<v Speaker 1>he's there inside the five, guy Tyree Hill, because when

0:43:55.440 --> 0:43:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Mahomes takes those extra two steps and he unleashes

0:44:00.080 --> 0:44:03.920
<v Speaker 1>a laser fifty yards down field and it's at its apex,

0:44:04.239 --> 0:44:07.400
<v Speaker 1>you are jumping out of your sofa because you know

0:44:07.520 --> 0:44:09.719
<v Speaker 1>the most exciting player in the NFL is getting under

0:44:09.760 --> 0:44:12.080
<v Speaker 1>that ball. There's no wrong answer here, but you get

0:44:12.239 --> 0:44:16.160
<v Speaker 1>my tyree. You can just get tingly when you watch

0:44:16.200 --> 0:44:18.600
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs play. Who doesn't As a matter of fact.

<v Speaker 1>Shocked Fantasy with you as well, gentlemen. One of the

0:45:02.239 --> 0:45:05.919
<v Speaker 1>conundrums that every fantasy owner has what to do when

0:45:05.960 --> 0:45:09.480
<v Speaker 1>you like a player at a position and there's another

0:45:09.640 --> 0:45:13.960
<v Speaker 1>good player, same position, same team. We play this game

0:45:14.000 --> 0:45:18.040
<v Speaker 1>every preseason. I'm gonna give you two players, well usually

0:45:18.080 --> 0:45:21.080
<v Speaker 1>too in some cases three at the same position on

0:45:21.160 --> 0:45:24.600
<v Speaker 1>the same team, and tell me given the average draft position,

0:45:24.640 --> 0:45:26.120
<v Speaker 1>the round you'd have to take him in, who would

0:45:26.120 --> 0:45:31.879
<v Speaker 1>you rather have? We begin with Seattle, would you rather

0:45:31.960 --> 0:45:36.480
<v Speaker 1>have Dk met calfine round two or Tyler Lockett in

0:45:36.600 --> 0:45:39.440
<v Speaker 1>round five? Scott, I will go to you first, apparently

0:45:39.719 --> 0:45:43.279
<v Speaker 1>very anxious to cover this. I don't need to go

0:45:43.360 --> 0:45:47.240
<v Speaker 1>on on this. It's just DK metcalf He he puts

0:45:47.320 --> 0:45:50.000
<v Speaker 1>up numbers nearly every week. He had a few dogs

0:45:50.080 --> 0:45:52.200
<v Speaker 1>last year, But Tyler Lockett is a guy that you're

0:45:52.200 --> 0:45:54.520
<v Speaker 1>getting three to four weeks. We've detailed this. He only

0:45:54.560 --> 0:45:57.040
<v Speaker 1>had four games over seven yards last year. He had

0:45:57.080 --> 0:45:59.600
<v Speaker 1>eight of his ten touchdounks coming three weeks. He had

0:45:59.600 --> 0:46:02.120
<v Speaker 1>fifty percent of the stats the week. And that's not

0:46:02.200 --> 0:46:04.399
<v Speaker 1>just last year, it's it's it's a couple of years

0:46:04.480 --> 0:46:07.160
<v Speaker 1>round and the year before nearly fifty percent of his

0:46:07.239 --> 0:46:10.920
<v Speaker 1>stats came in in four games. He's had twenty eight

0:46:10.920 --> 0:46:13.279
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns in the last three years that have boosted him

0:46:13.320 --> 0:46:16.319
<v Speaker 1>up and made fantasy owners think that he's amazing. What

0:46:16.400 --> 0:46:20.680
<v Speaker 1>if that regresses, You've got nothing? That was a very

0:46:20.760 --> 0:46:22.840
<v Speaker 1>succinct response, Matt, do you have anything you want to

0:46:22.880 --> 0:46:25.799
<v Speaker 1>add to that? Um? Yeah, Normally it is like the

0:46:25.800 --> 0:46:27.600
<v Speaker 1>guy who's later in this one. But I have a

0:46:27.600 --> 0:46:29.919
<v Speaker 1>few that are are the guy ahead in the draft.

0:46:29.960 --> 0:46:33.799
<v Speaker 1>I have dk Metcalf as well. Um. I put our

0:46:33.880 --> 0:46:36.240
<v Speaker 1>locket on my list of players that I wouldn't draft

0:46:36.360 --> 0:46:38.440
<v Speaker 1>last week, so I can't like say I'm gonna take

0:46:38.480 --> 0:46:40.200
<v Speaker 1>him now, of course not. I had to stick up

0:46:40.200 --> 0:46:42.960
<v Speaker 1>for what I said before. We're all it's three. It's

0:46:43.000 --> 0:46:45.080
<v Speaker 1>three to zero. We all agree we'd rather have dk

0:46:45.200 --> 0:46:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Metcalf in the second round. Next set of teammates. Would

0:46:49.200 --> 0:46:52.240
<v Speaker 1>you rather have Detroit running back DeAndre Swift in round

0:46:52.320 --> 0:46:56.560
<v Speaker 1>three or Jamal Williams in round eight? This time we

0:46:56.600 --> 0:46:58.640
<v Speaker 1>start with Matt. Does anybody want to take me up

0:46:58.640 --> 0:47:05.080
<v Speaker 1>on that burrito bet the Williams outscores DeAndre Swift? Yes, Oh,

0:47:06.080 --> 0:47:08.719
<v Speaker 1>I think I think. I think Williams is going to

0:47:08.800 --> 0:47:13.719
<v Speaker 1>outscore d Swift. Take I not for that, but I'll

0:47:13.840 --> 0:47:20.600
<v Speaker 1>come up with because Scott doesn't like burritos. That's insane. Anyway,

0:47:21.080 --> 0:47:23.919
<v Speaker 1>let's hear your justification. Well, I think I think that

0:47:24.160 --> 0:47:27.319
<v Speaker 1>he's more healthy. He's He's a guy who can be

0:47:27.400 --> 0:47:30.440
<v Speaker 1>a pass catcher and a runner. Um And I'm just

0:47:30.480 --> 0:47:34.000
<v Speaker 1>worried about Swift's durability. Round three is way too early

0:47:34.080 --> 0:47:36.080
<v Speaker 1>for me to draft DeAndre Swift with a guy I

0:47:36.120 --> 0:47:38.320
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of red flags on, and Jamal Williams

0:47:38.400 --> 0:47:40.919
<v Speaker 1>is in round eight. That's that's where you start throwing

0:47:41.000 --> 0:47:44.120
<v Speaker 1>darts like that, Okay, Scott, Yeah, I knew you'd take

0:47:44.160 --> 0:47:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Jamal Williams, especially after you took him as your sleeper

0:47:47.200 --> 0:47:50.120
<v Speaker 1>last week. So I I immediately decided to go with

0:47:50.120 --> 0:47:54.320
<v Speaker 1>the other right, just not not because I totally disagree.

0:47:54.320 --> 0:47:56.439
<v Speaker 1>I actually like that as as a nice sleeper pick.

0:47:56.760 --> 0:48:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm taking Swift because he's still an early second round

0:48:00.080 --> 0:48:04.040
<v Speaker 1>pick that in limited touches last year still scored ten touchdowns.

0:48:04.239 --> 0:48:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Only had a hundred and sixty touches and he scored

0:48:06.120 --> 0:48:10.040
<v Speaker 1>ten touchdowns. Um, it's it's gonna be an okay offense.

0:48:10.080 --> 0:48:11.920
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna be behind a lot, and he's the past

0:48:11.960 --> 0:48:15.359
<v Speaker 1>catching back. Dan Campbell has compared him to the Kamara role,

0:48:15.600 --> 0:48:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Lynn has compared him to the Ela role. Uh so,

0:48:19.320 --> 0:48:21.440
<v Speaker 1>if he takes on any of that, and there's a

0:48:21.600 --> 0:48:23.760
<v Speaker 1>very long history of running backs to get a hundred

0:48:23.800 --> 0:48:26.719
<v Speaker 1>fifty plus rush attempts and fifty catches, which he's very

0:48:26.760 --> 0:48:29.560
<v Speaker 1>capable of of landing as a top twelve running back.

0:48:30.320 --> 0:48:32.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna I'm gonna take that. I will say there's

0:48:32.960 --> 0:48:35.640
<v Speaker 1>a concern that you know, they've also made statements about

0:48:35.640 --> 0:48:38.520
<v Speaker 1>going hot hand. But I'll take Swift. I'll take Swift

0:48:38.520 --> 0:48:42.319
<v Speaker 1>in that upside. I will take Jamal Williams in this one.

0:48:42.400 --> 0:48:44.800
<v Speaker 1>But I worry. I do think Swift is going to

0:48:44.840 --> 0:48:47.120
<v Speaker 1>be the better back. And I'm taking your bet Williams

0:48:47.120 --> 0:48:51.520
<v Speaker 1>is gonna outscore. Yes, Swift, But but you don't Swift

0:48:53.120 --> 0:48:56.000
<v Speaker 1>awfully good place tag. I very much agree with the

0:48:56.280 --> 0:48:59.360
<v Speaker 1>price tag. All right, but you still picked Swift yep. Okay.

0:48:59.520 --> 0:49:04.239
<v Speaker 1>Next is Minnesota wide receivers Justin Jefferson Round two or

0:49:04.320 --> 0:49:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Adam Feeling Round five. This one we start with Scott.

0:49:08.760 --> 0:49:11.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna stick with Jefferson. I think he's got every possibility,

0:49:11.960 --> 0:49:14.920
<v Speaker 1>especially with Earth going out and with the other past

0:49:14.920 --> 0:49:19.040
<v Speaker 1>catching options there, of just becoming a true number one alpha.

0:49:19.440 --> 0:49:21.120
<v Speaker 1>If he ends the season as the number one wide

0:49:21.120 --> 0:49:24.600
<v Speaker 1>receiver in fantasy, I would not be shocked, and I

0:49:24.600 --> 0:49:26.520
<v Speaker 1>I love having a guy like that on my team.

0:49:26.800 --> 0:49:29.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't I think the Theeling regression is not going

0:49:29.360 --> 0:49:32.840
<v Speaker 1>to happen like people think. Maybe the touchdowns aren't fourteen again,

0:49:32.880 --> 0:49:36.359
<v Speaker 1>but he's had seven, six, nine, etcetera. In recent years.

0:49:36.360 --> 0:49:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I think he gets a decent amount of touchdowns and

0:49:38.040 --> 0:49:40.480
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna get a lot of targets. I just rather

0:49:40.560 --> 0:49:44.239
<v Speaker 1>have that potential wide receiver one on my team, all right, Matt,

0:49:44.320 --> 0:49:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Justin Jefferson round two or Adam Celan round five. In Bestball,

0:49:49.000 --> 0:49:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I ended up with twenty five percent of Adam Thelan

0:49:52.520 --> 0:49:55.399
<v Speaker 1>and ten percent of Justin Jefferson. So I'm gonna put

0:49:55.400 --> 0:49:58.040
<v Speaker 1>my money where my mouth is. Delan is my answer. Yes,

0:49:58.080 --> 0:50:00.440
<v Speaker 1>he's older. Yes, there's a little bit of injury stuff

0:50:00.480 --> 0:50:02.719
<v Speaker 1>that's happening with him right now. But when he's on

0:50:02.760 --> 0:50:05.320
<v Speaker 1>the field, he's as consistent as they get in the league.

0:50:05.760 --> 0:50:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Kirk loves him, especially in the red zone, and the

0:50:08.320 --> 0:50:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Vikings have no one else to throw to. Also a

0:50:10.920 --> 0:50:15.480
<v Speaker 1>baby narrative, his first baby, second baby had a fourteen

0:50:15.520 --> 0:50:18.640
<v Speaker 1>touchdown season. He's got another one coming this I didn't

0:50:18.640 --> 0:50:22.719
<v Speaker 1>know that he's expecting. That's very important. Um. I think

0:50:22.719 --> 0:50:24.719
<v Speaker 1>you guys had and all the keys the salient stuff here.

0:50:24.760 --> 0:50:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Why feeling remains and I like Jeffrey. I don't have

0:50:26.840 --> 0:50:31.080
<v Speaker 1>any problem with Jeffer, but theland round five is stealing. Yes,

0:50:31.360 --> 0:50:34.520
<v Speaker 1>as you mentioned the end the goal line propensities. He

0:50:34.640 --> 0:50:38.839
<v Speaker 1>scored seven touchdowns on eight targets from inside the five

0:50:38.960 --> 0:50:43.200
<v Speaker 1>last year. That is remarkable for Adam Feeling. Next in Cleveland,

0:50:43.320 --> 0:50:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Nick Chubb in round one or Kareem Hunt in round five.

0:50:46.520 --> 0:50:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Matt one of these running backs has RB one overall upside,

0:50:50.840 --> 0:50:54.319
<v Speaker 1>the other one has maybe RB twelve overall upside. So

0:50:54.320 --> 0:50:56.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go with Chub on this one because he's

0:50:57.080 --> 0:50:59.720
<v Speaker 1>one of the best running backs in football. Pro Football

0:50:59.719 --> 0:51:01.520
<v Speaker 1>folk US has great at him as such the last

0:51:01.520 --> 0:51:04.759
<v Speaker 1>couple of years, and I think that there's a possibility

0:51:04.760 --> 0:51:08.239
<v Speaker 1>that we could see the workload steer much towards his

0:51:08.320 --> 0:51:11.520
<v Speaker 1>direction if he's completely healthy this season, and we might

0:51:11.520 --> 0:51:13.960
<v Speaker 1>see Chubb kind of kind of teetering on the two

0:51:14.000 --> 0:51:17.760
<v Speaker 1>thirds to one third share over Kareem Hunt. Okay, Scott,

0:51:18.040 --> 0:51:21.600
<v Speaker 1>you kind of said almost exactly what I was gonna say. Um,

0:51:21.719 --> 0:51:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Chubb had over a hundred yards and or scored in

0:51:24.400 --> 0:51:27.520
<v Speaker 1>all but one complete game he played last year. I

0:51:27.600 --> 0:51:30.560
<v Speaker 1>really want that on my fantasy team. I understand that

0:51:30.600 --> 0:51:33.000
<v Speaker 1>when he plays in games with Hunt. In his games

0:51:33.000 --> 0:51:36.760
<v Speaker 1>with Hunt, he averages one point three five receptions, which

0:51:36.840 --> 0:51:40.720
<v Speaker 1>is not good. But one of the things that constantly

0:51:40.760 --> 0:51:43.160
<v Speaker 1>gets talked about is Hunt could be a RB one

0:51:43.239 --> 0:51:46.239
<v Speaker 1>if Chubb. If Chubb, Hunt could be an RB one

0:51:46.239 --> 0:51:48.920
<v Speaker 1>if Chubb goes out, well, if Hunt goes out, Chubb

0:51:49.080 --> 0:51:53.359
<v Speaker 1>is just kind of Actually, I don't think they would

0:51:53.360 --> 0:51:55.800
<v Speaker 1>even that. I don't think they would give him twenty

0:51:55.880 --> 0:51:58.240
<v Speaker 1>two carries. I think you'd see a lot of dearness

0:51:58.360 --> 0:52:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Johnson for a while, he was gene over twenty touches. Though,

0:52:01.560 --> 0:52:04.200
<v Speaker 1>so even with Hunt on the team. Worth noting that

0:52:04.239 --> 0:52:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Scott has taken the early guy in each one of

0:52:06.560 --> 0:52:14.280
<v Speaker 1>these battles so far. After yes, complete lies, I tease

0:52:14.360 --> 0:52:17.319
<v Speaker 1>the listeners, I also would take Nick Chubb in round one.

0:52:17.880 --> 0:52:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Next up Scott, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin or Antonio Brown.

0:52:22.280 --> 0:52:24.799
<v Speaker 1>Evans is going in the fourth, Godwin the fifth, and

0:52:24.800 --> 0:52:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Antonio Brown the seventh. Yeah, the string the streek ends here,

0:52:28.400 --> 0:52:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the streeke ends here. Uh, this one's actually pretty easy

0:52:32.120 --> 0:52:34.480
<v Speaker 1>for me. It's Antonio Brown for me. He led in

0:52:34.520 --> 0:52:37.200
<v Speaker 1>target share attend this season. In fact, he led the

0:52:37.480 --> 0:52:39.960
<v Speaker 1>led the team and targets four of the last six games.

0:52:40.200 --> 0:52:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Once he got acclimated and was on that team another

0:52:43.280 --> 0:52:46.960
<v Speaker 1>full offseason to work with Brady and get that down um.

0:52:47.360 --> 0:52:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Evans numbers declined quite a bit last year and he

0:52:50.239 --> 0:52:53.160
<v Speaker 1>barely crossed that thousand yard threshold that he crosses every

0:52:53.160 --> 0:52:56.160
<v Speaker 1>single year. I do think Godwin is a great fit

0:52:56.239 --> 0:52:59.640
<v Speaker 1>for Brady. I actually really love Godwin with Brady, but

0:52:59.800 --> 0:53:02.759
<v Speaker 1>that three to four, three or so round difference is

0:53:02.880 --> 0:53:04.840
<v Speaker 1>enough for me to say I'll take Antonio Brown is

0:53:04.880 --> 0:53:07.120
<v Speaker 1>my wide receiver three on most of my teams, all right?

0:53:07.360 --> 0:53:10.319
<v Speaker 1>Which was the Bucks wide receivers? Matt would you take?

0:53:10.400 --> 0:53:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Is it Mike Evans in round four, Chris Godwin around five,

0:53:13.040 --> 0:53:16.160
<v Speaker 1>or Antonio Brown and round seven? H Scott stole my

0:53:16.200 --> 0:53:19.200
<v Speaker 1>thunder on Mike Evans. I think that his downside is

0:53:19.239 --> 0:53:22.960
<v Speaker 1>definitely there. I took Chris Godwin though, because we're one

0:53:23.040 --> 0:53:26.240
<v Speaker 1>year removed from Godwin being the number two overall wide

0:53:26.239 --> 0:53:29.600
<v Speaker 1>receiver in fantasy. He's in a contract year again on

0:53:29.640 --> 0:53:32.319
<v Speaker 1>the franchise tag. He did miss some time last year

0:53:32.320 --> 0:53:34.720
<v Speaker 1>with injury. He was danked up and playing hurt a lot,

0:53:34.840 --> 0:53:38.480
<v Speaker 1>and plus Antonio Brown is a psycho and we'll get

0:53:38.560 --> 0:53:41.120
<v Speaker 1>kicked out of some games at some point this year,

0:53:41.160 --> 0:53:42.600
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want to have to deal with that

0:53:42.960 --> 0:53:46.520
<v Speaker 1>at all. On my team, I have Chris Godwin as well. Alright,

0:53:46.560 --> 0:53:49.360
<v Speaker 1>couple more teammates that were going through. Which would you

0:53:49.440 --> 0:53:52.880
<v Speaker 1>rather choose Matt If among the new England running backs?

0:53:52.920 --> 0:53:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Would you rather have Damian Harrison round five, Romandre Stevenson

0:53:56.320 --> 0:53:59.839
<v Speaker 1>around eleven, or James White in round twelve? I have hair.

0:54:00.360 --> 0:54:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I remember drafts back in June where I was getting

0:54:02.440 --> 0:54:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Harrison like the eighth or ninth round, and that was

0:54:04.480 --> 0:54:07.799
<v Speaker 1>so much fun. With Cam out of the way. We

0:54:07.800 --> 0:54:09.759
<v Speaker 1>we talked about it. Harris has a shot to just

0:54:09.800 --> 0:54:11.920
<v Speaker 1>be a true bell cow runners. I understand he fifteen

0:54:11.960 --> 0:54:15.760
<v Speaker 1>touchdown upside. I don't know it could be twenty. Scott,

0:54:15.760 --> 0:54:17.680
<v Speaker 1>do you feel any differently? Yeah, it's not close. We

0:54:17.719 --> 0:54:20.279
<v Speaker 1>have a rookie and tiny pass catchers behind him. All right,

0:54:20.360 --> 0:54:23.120
<v Speaker 1>let's go to San Francisco Deonte Johnson in round four.

0:54:23.239 --> 0:54:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, it's not San Francisco. This is Pittsburgh. Deonte

0:54:25.960 --> 0:54:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Johnson in round four or Chase clay Pool in round five,

0:54:29.760 --> 0:54:32.640
<v Speaker 1>teammates ranked very near each other. Scott, I hate you

0:54:32.680 --> 0:54:34.319
<v Speaker 1>making me do this because you guys know how much

0:54:34.320 --> 0:54:37.399
<v Speaker 1>I love Chase claypoo I know you do. I think

0:54:37.480 --> 0:54:39.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go with Deonta Johnson because there's a lot

0:54:39.760 --> 0:54:42.680
<v Speaker 1>of great players still in that fifth round. Um we

0:54:42.800 --> 0:54:46.200
<v Speaker 1>just talked about one, Chris Godwin. But Deonte Johnson going

0:54:46.239 --> 0:54:48.800
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth. He's just an insane target hog. He

0:54:48.840 --> 0:54:51.160
<v Speaker 1>doesn't get a tony yards with it, but maybe that

0:54:51.200 --> 0:54:54.680
<v Speaker 1>comes along. If you watch drives with Ben Bent, Ben

0:54:54.719 --> 0:54:57.279
<v Speaker 1>looks at him the entire time, the entire drive down

0:54:57.360 --> 0:55:01.640
<v Speaker 1>the field. Um so if Ben throws short a lot nowadays,

0:55:01.640 --> 0:55:04.040
<v Speaker 1>So that's where Deontay lives. All right? Do you feel

0:55:04.080 --> 0:55:06.640
<v Speaker 1>any differently, Matt, I do. I have Chase Claypool. Both

0:55:06.680 --> 0:55:09.040
<v Speaker 1>these guys are super talented, but Claypool a little bit

0:55:09.040 --> 0:55:11.759
<v Speaker 1>more versatile. He ran in two scores last year to

0:55:11.800 --> 0:55:15.200
<v Speaker 1>go along with his nine rushing receiving touchdowns. Plus there's

0:55:15.239 --> 0:55:18.520
<v Speaker 1>some drop issues for Deonta in the past. So I'm

0:55:18.520 --> 0:55:22.120
<v Speaker 1>going to take the guy around later and take Chase Claypool. Here.

0:55:22.600 --> 0:55:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I Chase Claypool. If he gets a lot better in

0:55:25.880 --> 0:55:29.440
<v Speaker 1>year two, which many receivers do, right, you can make

0:55:30.000 --> 0:55:32.600
<v Speaker 1>could be he could he could make a dk metcalf jump.

0:55:32.640 --> 0:55:36.160
<v Speaker 1>This he is potentially sitting on a very very good season.

0:55:36.920 --> 0:55:41.319
<v Speaker 1>But I'm picking Deonta Johnson because I like receivers would

0:55:41.280 --> 0:55:43.520
<v Speaker 1>get the ball in their hands a lot, and Chase

0:55:43.520 --> 0:55:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Claypool when he does not score, scores a lot and

0:55:46.160 --> 0:55:48.719
<v Speaker 1>he does not score doesn't help you as much. And

0:55:48.760 --> 0:55:50.799
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, I want receivers who've

0:55:50.840 --> 0:55:52.640
<v Speaker 1>got the ball in their hands. At the end of

0:55:52.640 --> 0:55:57.040
<v Speaker 1>the day, you want receivers to score touchdowns. Six of

0:55:57.040 --> 0:56:00.359
<v Speaker 1>those ten came in two games, like so, that's that's

0:56:00.440 --> 0:56:03.080
<v Speaker 1>that's a great point. That's a great point. All right, Matt,

0:56:03.360 --> 0:56:05.759
<v Speaker 1>Which of the Las Vegas running backs would you prefer

0:56:05.800 --> 0:56:09.640
<v Speaker 1>to have? Josh Jacobs or Kenyan Drake? Uh? It's uh

0:56:09.760 --> 0:56:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Josh Jacobs for me in round three over Drake in

0:56:12.239 --> 0:56:14.680
<v Speaker 1>round nine. I've never been a believer in Drake. He's

0:56:14.800 --> 0:56:17.359
<v Speaker 1>just a guy. He's just been a guy, and he's

0:56:17.360 --> 0:56:20.080
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of rushing rushing touchdowns near the stripe

0:56:20.480 --> 0:56:22.759
<v Speaker 1>for for Arizona in the past. So I just think

0:56:22.840 --> 0:56:25.239
<v Speaker 1>Drake's just a guy. I'll go Josh Jacobs. Okay, I

0:56:25.280 --> 0:56:28.200
<v Speaker 1>don't want either, but yeah, I don't really either. If

0:56:28.239 --> 0:56:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I have to choose, I'm choosing Drake only because I

0:56:30.440 --> 0:56:32.640
<v Speaker 1>like so many more things in that third round. It's

0:56:32.640 --> 0:56:34.680
<v Speaker 1>not even a Jacob's or Drake think, it's just what's

0:56:34.680 --> 0:56:37.200
<v Speaker 1>available in the third. Also, I'm seeing Jacobs start to

0:56:37.239 --> 0:56:39.400
<v Speaker 1>fall into the fourth a little bit too. People are

0:56:39.400 --> 0:56:42.520
<v Speaker 1>a little depressed on him. Well do you think they're

0:56:42.520 --> 0:56:46.279
<v Speaker 1>depressed on Josh? Now wait till the season starts, and

0:56:46.280 --> 0:56:49.680
<v Speaker 1>that's Kenyan Drake. I'm taking him because he's a round nine.

0:56:50.080 --> 0:56:52.120
<v Speaker 1>That's that's that's the beauty of it. I don't want

0:56:52.160 --> 0:56:53.960
<v Speaker 1>anything to do with Josh Jacobs, and you don't really

0:56:53.960 --> 0:56:57.000
<v Speaker 1>want anything to do with Kenyan Drake, but under your

0:56:57.000 --> 0:57:00.360
<v Speaker 1>head situations. But that's six the exact page worthy, exact

0:57:00.360 --> 0:57:05.440
<v Speaker 1>page alright, final one Denver's wide receivers Jerry Judy in

0:57:05.560 --> 0:57:10.360
<v Speaker 1>round six or Courtland Sutton and round eight Scott Man.

0:57:10.880 --> 0:57:13.440
<v Speaker 1>So I was really optimistic, and what we saw from

0:57:13.440 --> 0:57:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Sutton most recently, uh and because the reports and videos

0:57:16.680 --> 0:57:19.440
<v Speaker 1>earlier was hesitancy and maybe like his knee, like he

0:57:19.520 --> 0:57:21.320
<v Speaker 1>was still feeling injured. But now it looks like that

0:57:21.400 --> 0:57:26.480
<v Speaker 1>confidence has returned. But honestly, I feel like Judy just

0:57:26.600 --> 0:57:29.280
<v Speaker 1>fits Teddy's game a little bit better. I know that

0:57:29.360 --> 0:57:32.120
<v Speaker 1>they both can thrive, but I'll I guess I'll take Judy.

0:57:32.160 --> 0:57:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I think the breakouts coming this year. Okay, it's tough.

0:57:35.320 --> 0:57:37.919
<v Speaker 1>I'll take Courtland Sutton. He was a Round five pick

0:57:37.960 --> 0:57:42.200
<v Speaker 1>in last year's ADP, and I'm buying the dip. He's back,

0:57:42.240 --> 0:57:45.000
<v Speaker 1>he's healthy again, and Jerry Judy was healthy all of

0:57:45.120 --> 0:57:47.680
<v Speaker 1>last season and it was really just disappointing for the

0:57:47.840 --> 0:57:50.600
<v Speaker 1>entire year. So I'll buy the dip on Courtland Sutton.

0:57:50.640 --> 0:57:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Take the late guy and hope for the upside there. Yeah,

0:57:53.040 --> 0:57:54.920
<v Speaker 1>I just don't want the I don't want the coming

0:57:54.920 --> 0:57:57.040
<v Speaker 1>off the A c L. That's to me the difference

0:57:57.040 --> 0:57:59.160
<v Speaker 1>here and Judy was not. I don't think you can

0:57:59.240 --> 0:58:02.640
<v Speaker 1>characterize him as bad last year. No, it's a little disappointing.

0:58:02.760 --> 0:58:06.439
<v Speaker 1>I think he did what most good what most good

0:58:06.520 --> 0:58:09.200
<v Speaker 1>rookie receivers do in their first year, just not what

0:58:09.360 --> 0:58:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Justin Jefferson did in his first year. And I think

0:58:12.000 --> 0:58:14.560
<v Speaker 1>the year two bounces coming for Jerry Judy will take

0:58:14.640 --> 0:58:18.120
<v Speaker 1>him in round number six. I believe they're soft Jays though,

0:58:18.360 --> 0:58:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Yerry Uti Yerry Uty Let's come back with I might

0:58:23.840 --> 0:58:27.480
<v Speaker 1>be wrong. I might just be wrong. These are positions

0:58:27.520 --> 0:58:31.120
<v Speaker 1>we've taken over the course of these preseason shows, they

0:58:31.160 --> 0:58:37.440
<v Speaker 1>were laying awake night going, Um, you know, maybe I

0:58:37.480 --> 0:58:41.000
<v Speaker 1>wasn't quite right about that. We'll tell you what's keeping

0:58:41.080 --> 0:58:44.280
<v Speaker 1>us awake nights with our some of our hottest takes

0:58:44.480 --> 0:58:47.920

<v Speaker 1>number eight and then you turn around draft again, take

1:00:00.600 --> 1:00:02.479

<v Speaker 1>Quillotini is also available dot com. Easier to win right

1:00:07.320 --> 1:00:09.720
<v Speaker 1>if you only have eight other people you're playing against,

1:00:09.800 --> 1:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>not eighteen. That's that makes a little bit easier. This

1:00:12.760 --> 1:00:17.840
<v Speaker 1>is a segment called I might just be wrong, but

1:00:18.040 --> 1:00:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I know what I told you to do. But when

1:00:19.760 --> 1:00:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I told you to do that, I was rousing, Ralph,

1:00:26.800 --> 1:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I was, I was not exactly right. What do you

1:00:32.320 --> 1:00:38.600
<v Speaker 1>mean not right? I mean not right. I don't get you.

1:00:38.600 --> 1:00:43.720
<v Speaker 1>You mean you were wrong? Yeah, that's right. I was

1:00:43.760 --> 1:00:46.640
<v Speaker 1>what you just said. I was just then. Yeah, I

1:00:46.720 --> 1:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>might just be wrong. Yeah, Scott, tell me what's keeping

1:00:52.000 --> 1:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>you up? Your yourself aware enough to know that sometimes?

1:00:55.320 --> 1:00:58.080
<v Speaker 1>And we've was that the fantasy by the way, Well,

1:00:58.160 --> 1:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>yeah that was fantasy. That was the where's the other fans?

1:01:02.080 --> 1:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>We have another fantasy Fonzi in here. I think it's

1:01:04.320 --> 1:01:08.440
<v Speaker 1>just Brian going, you're probably right about that. Um, you

1:01:08.480 --> 1:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>know we're wrong plenty on this show, and we're going

1:01:11.520 --> 1:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to get things wrong. We always do. Scott, give me

1:01:14.680 --> 1:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>one thing that's keeping you up right now, laying awake

1:01:18.400 --> 1:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>at night, you're thinking to yourself, Oh man, I'm giving

1:01:21.320 --> 1:01:24.520
<v Speaker 1>all this advice. I hope this thing isn't wrong. Well, Church,

1:01:24.880 --> 1:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm worried I'm wrong about Antonio Gibson, My view is

1:01:29.760 --> 1:01:33.160
<v Speaker 1>last year they focused on teaching him the running back position,

1:01:33.440 --> 1:01:38.040
<v Speaker 1>and that's why mckissic got so much receiving work. Yes,

1:01:38.200 --> 1:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>and converted wide receiver, and we knew, we all knew less.

1:01:42.400 --> 1:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>You're going into the season that Antonio Gibson coming in

1:01:45.040 --> 1:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>as a wide receiver had great, great pass catcher, great

1:01:48.640 --> 1:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>in space. That's that's something he excels at. And then

1:01:51.240 --> 1:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>he didn't do it all year. I mean, you had

1:01:52.960 --> 1:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>thirty six receptions, but the clear exactly target. I feel

1:01:58.520 --> 1:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>like he needed to learn the running back position. And

1:02:00.520 --> 1:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>now that he's had a year, he's got Ron Rivera,

1:02:02.720 --> 1:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>who had Christian McCaffrey. Now he's going to be their

1:02:06.000 --> 1:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>version of Christian McCaffrey. They're going to add that element

1:02:09.160 --> 1:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>to his game to him and he's gonna get that

1:02:12.320 --> 1:02:13.880
<v Speaker 1>ten plus touch on he had ten touch on his

1:02:13.920 --> 1:02:16.160
<v Speaker 1>less year. He's gonna get more than that. But what

1:02:16.240 --> 1:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>if I'm wrong, What if mckissic is just too good

1:02:18.600 --> 1:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>of a pass catcher and they're like that this word year. Yeah, Yeah,

1:02:22.880 --> 1:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>that's that's what worries me, is that he does not

1:02:25.120 --> 1:02:28.120
<v Speaker 1>become the pass catcher the fifties, sixties, the sixty plus

1:02:28.280 --> 1:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>reception pass catcher. I think he should be in that offense.

1:02:31.400 --> 1:02:34.800
<v Speaker 1>We are drafting Antonio Gibson in the at the end

1:02:34.800 --> 1:02:37.720
<v Speaker 1>of the first round. That's under an assumption to for

1:02:37.800 --> 1:02:40.040
<v Speaker 1>him to reach that level and return on that, he

1:02:40.160 --> 1:02:44.000
<v Speaker 1>has to catch more passes and if he doesn't, you're

1:02:44.040 --> 1:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna end up with less value than where you got

1:02:46.200 --> 1:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>him at running back four. On my latest cheat let's go,

1:02:51.640 --> 1:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I picked fourth in the draft. The other day, I

1:02:53.520 --> 1:02:56.920
<v Speaker 1>took Ekeler and I debated Ekeler, Gibson and Naji because

1:02:56.920 --> 1:02:59.360
<v Speaker 1>that's where I have them in my rankings. Wow. I

1:02:59.400 --> 1:03:02.040
<v Speaker 1>like it. Contrarian rankings here. That's part of the reason

1:03:02.080 --> 1:03:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I like this show is that most are as a group,

1:03:04.480 --> 1:03:07.160
<v Speaker 1>our host, we're not beholding to the group think of

1:03:07.200 --> 1:03:11.480
<v Speaker 1>fantasy industry experts, which is fantastic. Matt, what is something

1:03:11.480 --> 1:03:14.600
<v Speaker 1>that's keeping you awake at night worried that we might

1:03:14.640 --> 1:03:18.040
<v Speaker 1>not be right? Um? That Lamar Jackson is a top

1:03:18.080 --> 1:03:21.920
<v Speaker 1>five quarterback. I mean he has been his entire career,

1:03:22.000 --> 1:03:25.120
<v Speaker 1>but I'm a little worried that he's never yet thrown

1:03:25.200 --> 1:03:28.120
<v Speaker 1>for thirty yards in a season, which is not a

1:03:28.200 --> 1:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>high number. Not not a high number at all uh.

1:03:30.800 --> 1:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Pro Football Focus ranked him seventeen amongst quarterbacks in passing

1:03:35.440 --> 1:03:40.760
<v Speaker 1>grade last year, behind such notable awesome fantasy quarterbacks Baker Mayfield,

1:03:40.880 --> 1:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Derek Carr, Kirk Cousins, Philip Rivers, and just like a

1:03:45.760 --> 1:03:49.920
<v Speaker 1>fraction of a grade above Daniel Jones. Yikes uh. He

1:03:50.320 --> 1:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Jackson has all three of the all time top seasons

1:03:54.640 --> 1:04:00.800
<v Speaker 1>ever for quarterback rushing attempts. If he's a running back

1:04:00.880 --> 1:04:03.440
<v Speaker 1>that just hasn't gotten hurt yet, that's a problem. And

1:04:03.560 --> 1:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>will he be asked to run more this season? Due

1:04:05.760 --> 1:04:08.640
<v Speaker 1>to the loss of j K Dobbins, the offensive line

1:04:08.680 --> 1:04:10.600
<v Speaker 1>took a step down, and he still doesn't have any

1:04:10.640 --> 1:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers. Coaching staff has been saying for two years

1:04:13.920 --> 1:04:15.880
<v Speaker 1>that they wanted to pass more downfield, and can he

1:04:15.920 --> 1:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>actually do that. I'm nervous that it all goes wrong

1:04:19.120 --> 1:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>for Lamar Jackson this year, if not very soon. I'm

1:04:24.880 --> 1:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>laying awake nights wondering what if Ben Roethlisberger has one

1:04:30.600 --> 1:04:34.720
<v Speaker 1>great final season left in him. Because I've I've I'm

1:04:34.720 --> 1:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>out on Roethlisberger. I'm mostly out on that passing offense

1:04:37.720 --> 1:04:40.200
<v Speaker 1>because I don't like what I saw last year from

1:04:40.200 --> 1:04:43.040
<v Speaker 1>his arm and the way they used him. They fired

1:04:43.080 --> 1:04:46.560
<v Speaker 1>their offensive coordinator, Randy Fitchner, and now they've you know,

1:04:46.600 --> 1:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>now that you know and and he was bad. Maybe

1:04:49.160 --> 1:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>this new offense he's comes in trim. Maybe Ben has

1:04:53.240 --> 1:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>got one great season left in him, and I shouldn't

1:04:56.000 --> 1:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>have him ranked his quarterback twenty one, and I shouldn't

1:05:00.000 --> 1:05:02.520
<v Speaker 1>have his receivers where I've got them. What if he's

1:05:02.560 --> 1:05:05.240
<v Speaker 1>got one great season left in him? The path is

1:05:05.320 --> 1:05:07.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of there too, like you can see it, like

1:05:07.800 --> 1:05:10.600
<v Speaker 1>if even if his arm is shot. Deonte is a

1:05:10.680 --> 1:05:12.760
<v Speaker 1>close to the close to the line of scrimmage guy.

1:05:12.840 --> 1:05:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Juju Is Friarmouth and Chase Claypool are big, you know,

1:05:16.080 --> 1:05:20.840
<v Speaker 1>can go up and grab touchdown guys like drawn people away.

1:05:22.120 --> 1:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I know that the offensive line is bad and it's

1:05:24.840 --> 1:05:27.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna be bad, but maybe it won't matter. I think

1:05:27.520 --> 1:05:31.440
<v Speaker 1>everybody's got him ring everybody does. Yeah, that's where I'm

1:05:31.440 --> 1:05:33.920
<v Speaker 1>seeing him. We would be wrong. My My attitude is

1:05:33.920 --> 1:05:36.240
<v Speaker 1>I'd rather get out a year two early on a

1:05:36.240 --> 1:05:40.880
<v Speaker 1>aged veteran. But maybe this isn't the year. All right,

1:05:40.920 --> 1:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you got another one that's leave that's that's keeping

1:05:43.000 --> 1:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>you awake? Scott, Yeah, like Totio Gibson is the one

1:05:46.120 --> 1:05:49.360
<v Speaker 1>that I I lay awake at night, but I get

1:05:49.400 --> 1:05:51.400
<v Speaker 1>to sleep and then I wake up in a cold

1:05:51.480 --> 1:05:56.600
<v Speaker 1>sweat when I think, am I wrong on Lescault? I

1:05:56.680 --> 1:06:00.320
<v Speaker 1>am drafting him way higher than everybody little body, And

1:06:00.400 --> 1:06:04.200
<v Speaker 1>it scares me that I believe he is going to

1:06:04.240 --> 1:06:07.560
<v Speaker 1>take the urban Meyer Percy Harvin Roll from Florida. I

1:06:07.600 --> 1:06:10.600
<v Speaker 1>believe that that urban Meyer wanted ten in that role.

1:06:10.640 --> 1:06:12.920
<v Speaker 1>And now that E. T. N is gone, that's Levisca.

1:06:12.960 --> 1:06:15.000
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna use him in space. He's gonna use him

1:06:15.040 --> 1:06:18.520
<v Speaker 1>a bunch. He had a six yard season last year.

1:06:18.600 --> 1:06:20.480
<v Speaker 1>This year I think he, you know, bumps that up

1:06:20.480 --> 1:06:24.120
<v Speaker 1>a ton. But what if what if he's Cordell Patterson?

1:06:24.440 --> 1:06:27.520
<v Speaker 1>What what if he's Cordell Patterson for the Vikings just

1:06:30.000 --> 1:06:32.120
<v Speaker 1>they make they make some plays work, but he never

1:06:32.160 --> 1:06:36.000
<v Speaker 1>gets great enough volume to be truly awesome. What if

1:06:36.040 --> 1:06:38.680
<v Speaker 1>they have too many other options and can only score

1:06:38.760 --> 1:06:43.600
<v Speaker 1>from sixty yards out that that's where the cold sweat comes.

1:06:43.600 --> 1:06:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he's that guy instead of the guy I want

1:06:45.960 --> 1:06:48.040
<v Speaker 1>him to be. All right, Matt, do you have another

1:06:48.080 --> 1:06:50.919
<v Speaker 1>thing that's keeping you awake nights that you might just

1:06:51.080 --> 1:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>be I was ok, I was not exactly right. Um. Yeah.

1:07:00.320 --> 1:07:02.600
<v Speaker 1>After my melotonin wears off and I wake up at

1:07:02.600 --> 1:07:05.200
<v Speaker 1>about four in the morning, I think about how se

1:07:05.320 --> 1:07:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Kwon Barkley actually might not be a fantasy trap and

1:07:08.920 --> 1:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>he actually might be the RP one this year. The

1:07:13.400 --> 1:07:16.880
<v Speaker 1>injuries are concerned, as is the offensive line, as is

1:07:16.920 --> 1:07:20.120
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback, as is the coordinator. But let's attack them

1:07:20.160 --> 1:07:23.960
<v Speaker 1>one by one. Injuries, Let's just say s Kwan is

1:07:24.160 --> 1:07:27.200
<v Speaker 1>almost fully healthy, and they've been kind of saving him

1:07:27.240 --> 1:07:30.320
<v Speaker 1>for when games count. They're being cautious and not playing

1:07:30.360 --> 1:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>him when games don't matter. Uh. The offensive line. The

1:07:33.040 --> 1:07:35.960
<v Speaker 1>line was terrible in ten and he had over two

1:07:36.000 --> 1:07:40.720
<v Speaker 1>thousand total yards and fifteen touchdowns. In the quarterback. The

1:07:40.800 --> 1:07:43.960
<v Speaker 1>quarterback in was Eli Manning, who at that point in

1:07:44.000 --> 1:07:48.200
<v Speaker 1>his career was not significantly better than what Daniel Jones

1:07:48.280 --> 1:07:52.680
<v Speaker 1>is right now. And the coordinator Jason Garrett, who, let's

1:07:52.680 --> 1:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>face it, Coach Garrett is Uh, he's not the greatest

1:07:56.080 --> 1:07:58.480
<v Speaker 1>coach in the world. But he did one thing well

1:07:58.520 --> 1:08:01.040
<v Speaker 1>in Dallas, and that was hand the ball off to

1:08:01.120 --> 1:08:03.400
<v Speaker 1>his bell cow runner and Zeke and get the ball

1:08:03.400 --> 1:08:05.960
<v Speaker 1>in Zeke's hands over and over again. He didn't have

1:08:06.000 --> 1:08:08.240
<v Speaker 1>any other ideas. It was give the ball to seek

1:08:08.520 --> 1:08:11.360
<v Speaker 1>as many times as possible, and the same could happen

1:08:11.400 --> 1:08:15.520
<v Speaker 1>with se Kwon. So he's going by me. I'm passing

1:08:15.520 --> 1:08:17.240
<v Speaker 1>on him every time he goes by me in the

1:08:17.280 --> 1:08:19.880
<v Speaker 1>second round, and he just might be a first round

1:08:20.280 --> 1:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>league winner this year. The thing that's leaving me sleepless

1:08:25.000 --> 1:08:29.600
<v Speaker 1>at night. If Jalen Hurts evolves as a kid to

1:08:29.720 --> 1:08:32.559
<v Speaker 1>a great passer, I've got him ranked really really wrong

1:08:33.080 --> 1:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>right now. I've got him a quarterback twelve. The rushing upside,

1:08:36.520 --> 1:08:40.160
<v Speaker 1>that's probably an appropriate ranking, but I don't. I don't

1:08:40.160 --> 1:08:42.640
<v Speaker 1>trust the passing that I saw last year. Yet he

1:08:42.720 --> 1:08:46.679
<v Speaker 1>notched two to yard games in his four starts. Yeah,

1:08:46.680 --> 1:08:50.599
<v Speaker 1>he's got that Kyler Murray upside. He does have Kyler

1:08:50.760 --> 1:08:54.519
<v Speaker 1>Murray upside, and that if if he can involve as

1:08:54.560 --> 1:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>a passer and he and that means I don't have

1:08:56.840 --> 1:09:01.240
<v Speaker 1>to sweat Gardner Minshew Joe Flacco taking his job, then

1:09:01.520 --> 1:09:05.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm really wrong on Jalen Hurts. And he's got freaky upside.

1:09:05.439 --> 1:09:07.920
<v Speaker 1>So when Lamar came out, not not came out like

1:09:07.960 --> 1:09:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it was the second year, I tweeted about

1:09:10.200 --> 1:09:12.760
<v Speaker 1>a stat that I think it was a quarterback who

1:09:12.840 --> 1:09:18.880
<v Speaker 1>rushes for over five hundred, six hundred yards has never

1:09:18.960 --> 1:09:26.040
<v Speaker 1>finished below QB seven, and that's very that's almost es

1:09:26.080 --> 1:09:28.720
<v Speaker 1>that where he's being drafted, which is around by the way,

1:09:28.760 --> 1:09:31.160
<v Speaker 1>quarterback twelve, where I've got him ranked. Just typically where

1:09:31.200 --> 1:09:36.040
<v Speaker 1>he's being drafted, you're almost counting out him getting benched

1:09:36.160 --> 1:09:38.920
<v Speaker 1>at some point. That ve that's basically what we're but

1:09:39.000 --> 1:09:42.880
<v Speaker 1>we're basically drafting him at his floor. For Jalen Hurts,

1:09:44.280 --> 1:09:47.200
<v Speaker 1>that's keeping me awake for sure. When we come back,

1:09:47.800 --> 1:09:51.599
<v Speaker 1>final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly, we will break down

1:09:51.600 --> 1:09:55.840
<v Speaker 1>the Thursday night game. We've got live, real games coming

1:09:55.840 --> 1:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>on Thursday, and unveil our final sleepers of the year.

1:09:59.240 --> 1:10:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Please stay tuned. Final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. We've

1:10:27.360 --> 1:10:33.920
<v Speaker 1>got real games happening in less than a week. Thursday Night,

1:10:34.600 --> 1:10:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Dallas Tampa. Kind of odd that, you know, normally the

1:10:38.200 --> 1:10:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Thursday nighter is a rematch from the playoffs, or at

1:10:42.120 --> 1:10:46.280
<v Speaker 1>least two teams in the playoffs, But apparently the NFL

1:10:46.320 --> 1:10:49.680
<v Speaker 1>has decided America's team is a big enough draw that

1:10:49.720 --> 1:10:53.960
<v Speaker 1>they would put Dallas into this prestigious spot at the opening.

1:10:54.120 --> 1:10:56.880
<v Speaker 1>In the opening game. Weirdly, Tampa gets the second place

1:10:56.920 --> 1:10:59.360
<v Speaker 1>schedule from their division, so they don't have any of

1:10:59.400 --> 1:11:02.320
<v Speaker 1>the you know, top flight teams, so that's why their

1:11:02.320 --> 1:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>schedules a little bit easter. A couple of the they

1:11:04.280 --> 1:11:08.200
<v Speaker 1>screwed a couple of them. Anyway, America's team. Pah, that's

1:11:08.240 --> 1:11:12.280
<v Speaker 1>what I say to that. Let's go through the outlook

1:11:12.560 --> 1:11:15.559
<v Speaker 1>for players from the Cowboys and the Buccaneers. Speginning on

1:11:15.560 --> 1:11:19.479
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys side, Dak Prescott gets a B grade. I

1:11:19.479 --> 1:11:21.960
<v Speaker 1>think there's a bunch of factors working against Doc in

1:11:22.000 --> 1:11:24.639
<v Speaker 1>this game. He's gonna have to chisel off a thick

1:11:24.760 --> 1:11:26.920
<v Speaker 1>layer of rust after missing most of last year. In

1:11:26.960 --> 1:11:31.919
<v Speaker 1>the preseason, is Frankenstein foot adds questions to his mobility.

1:11:31.960 --> 1:11:34.599
<v Speaker 1>I don't expect a lot of running here. And remember

1:11:34.600 --> 1:11:36.960
<v Speaker 1>the last time we saw the Buccaneers pass rush, they

1:11:36.960 --> 1:11:41.519
<v Speaker 1>were turning Patrick Mahomes into a slurry. We're gonna watch

1:11:41.560 --> 1:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the status of right tackle l Collins, who may miss

1:11:44.439 --> 1:11:46.920
<v Speaker 1>this game as well. And but in a moment, the

1:11:47.000 --> 1:11:49.200
<v Speaker 1>upside is you're gonna hear that I like his receiver's

1:11:49.200 --> 1:11:52.160
<v Speaker 1>individual matchups a lot, so there's still some upside for

1:11:52.240 --> 1:11:55.639
<v Speaker 1>Doc in this game. Ceedee Lamb gets an a. Lamb

1:11:55.960 --> 1:11:59.000
<v Speaker 1>ran predominantly from the slot last year, and if he

1:11:59.040 --> 1:12:02.400
<v Speaker 1>does that, he's got a terrific matchup against Sean Murphy Bunting,

1:12:02.680 --> 1:12:05.960
<v Speaker 1>a coverage liability for the Bucks, who allowed a passer

1:12:06.080 --> 1:12:09.479
<v Speaker 1>rating of one in his coverage last year. There we go.

1:12:09.960 --> 1:12:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Lambs looked fantastic in camp. Murphy Bunting allowed the sixth

1:12:14.080 --> 1:12:18.040
<v Speaker 1>most yards in his coverage last year, which, by the way,

1:12:18.040 --> 1:12:20.800
<v Speaker 1>for a slot corner to give up the sixth most

1:12:20.880 --> 1:12:24.439
<v Speaker 1>yards is a lot. I also like that there's a

1:12:24.439 --> 1:12:27.439
<v Speaker 1>baseball player named Sean Murphy and when he's bunting, he's

1:12:27.560 --> 1:12:30.559
<v Speaker 1>Sean Murphy bunting. That's a great point A grade for

1:12:30.640 --> 1:12:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Ceedee Lamb, a grade for a Marii Cooper Situationally, the

1:12:34.360 --> 1:12:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Bucks will have cornerback Carlton Davis shadow opposing number one receivers.

1:12:38.120 --> 1:12:40.040
<v Speaker 1>He did that in half of his games last year.

1:12:40.400 --> 1:12:45.599
<v Speaker 1>As a big bodied corner, Davis should see a lot

1:12:45.680 --> 1:12:48.240
<v Speaker 1>of Cooper. And Davis isn't great. He ranked his Profo

1:12:48.280 --> 1:12:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Ball Focus is forty six ranked cornerback, and he is

1:12:51.800 --> 1:12:55.120
<v Speaker 1>prone to meltdown games he had several last year, and

1:12:55.240 --> 1:12:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Carlton Davis allowed the eighth most yards of all cornerbacks

1:12:59.160 --> 1:13:03.720
<v Speaker 1>last year. It bridge so Amari Cooper a grade. Then

1:13:03.760 --> 1:13:06.280
<v Speaker 1>there's Michael Gallop with a sea he pulls up. He

1:13:06.320 --> 1:13:09.400
<v Speaker 1>gets the short straw here with with if things hold

1:13:09.439 --> 1:13:12.280
<v Speaker 1>with coverage from the Buck's best cornerback the most often,

1:13:12.360 --> 1:13:15.759
<v Speaker 1>Jamal Dean. Dean hasn't allowed to touch down in seven

1:13:15.800 --> 1:13:18.720
<v Speaker 1>straight games. Obviously, going through back last year and the

1:13:18.720 --> 1:13:22.519
<v Speaker 1>playoff run. This preseason, Gallup worked more out of the

1:13:22.560 --> 1:13:24.640
<v Speaker 1>slot than he ever has before, which is kind of

1:13:24.680 --> 1:13:27.080
<v Speaker 1>interesting and maybe that opens up the prospect for some

1:13:27.120 --> 1:13:30.920
<v Speaker 1>easier matchups for him. It's not clear that Dean's gonna

1:13:30.920 --> 1:13:33.280
<v Speaker 1>be on Gallop all the time and not Cooper. Here,

1:13:33.280 --> 1:13:35.760
<v Speaker 1>it's I'm still giving a starting grade on Gallop. Church.

1:13:35.840 --> 1:13:38.559
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about Gallops like prospects throughout the year.

1:13:38.560 --> 1:13:40.520
<v Speaker 1>We haven't really talked about him much in the preseason

1:13:40.600 --> 1:13:43.200
<v Speaker 1>gotten man for most of them, really, and like, if

1:13:43.280 --> 1:13:46.200
<v Speaker 1>if Cooper and Lambs stay healthy, is Gallop a guy

1:13:46.240 --> 1:13:48.840
<v Speaker 1>that can be startable most of this year? I think

1:13:48.880 --> 1:13:51.080
<v Speaker 1>you've got to find your spots starts there because there's

1:13:51.080 --> 1:13:53.040
<v Speaker 1>not enough balls to go around, and Lamb and Cooper

1:13:53.040 --> 1:13:55.840
<v Speaker 1>are gonna eat so many targets. But I think for

1:13:55.880 --> 1:13:59.479
<v Speaker 1>this particular matchup, C grade Blake Jarwin's going largely undrafted,

1:13:59.479 --> 1:14:02.280
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna watch him and see what kind of

1:14:02.280 --> 1:14:05.360
<v Speaker 1>condition he's in after last season's knee injury. He is

1:14:05.479 --> 1:14:11.320
<v Speaker 1>on the bench um as for Zeke. C grade on

1:14:11.360 --> 1:14:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Ezekiel Elliott in the toughest matchup of his entire year

1:14:15.080 --> 1:14:18.439
<v Speaker 1>coming right here. In the season opener. The Bucks returned

1:14:18.520 --> 1:14:22.040
<v Speaker 1>all eleven defensive starters to a defense that ranked number

1:14:22.040 --> 1:14:25.240
<v Speaker 1>one in rushing yards allowed, number one in yards per carry,

1:14:25.720 --> 1:14:28.320
<v Speaker 1>number one in fantasy points allowed, and number two in

1:14:28.439 --> 1:14:32.760
<v Speaker 1>rushing touchdowns allowed. Allow me to tell you the notable

1:14:32.960 --> 1:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>runners who failed to top thirty nine rushing yards last

1:14:38.160 --> 1:14:40.439
<v Speaker 1>year against the Bucks. I feel like I remember this

1:14:40.520 --> 1:14:45.759
<v Speaker 1>from last probably Clyde Edwards, a Lair failed twice, Cam

1:14:45.800 --> 1:14:50.679
<v Speaker 1>Acres failed, Mike Davis, Aaron Jones failed twice, Alvin Kamara failed,

1:14:51.320 --> 1:14:54.880
<v Speaker 1>David Montgomery failed, Melvin Gordon failed, Antonio Gibson failed, and

1:14:54.920 --> 1:14:58.240
<v Speaker 1>almost none of them scored in addition to failing to

1:14:58.439 --> 1:15:02.360
<v Speaker 1>hit thirty nine rush yards against the Bucks. If I

1:15:02.479 --> 1:15:05.599
<v Speaker 1>had stones, I would put a bench grade on Zeke,

1:15:05.640 --> 1:15:08.759
<v Speaker 1>but I'm putting a C grade on him. And here's

1:15:08.760 --> 1:15:11.680
<v Speaker 1>why he can chip in through the air. And this

1:15:11.720 --> 1:15:16.080
<v Speaker 1>is where Tampa was susceptible. Zeke is an elite receiver

1:15:16.720 --> 1:15:19.800
<v Speaker 1>and the Bucks allowed the most running back receptions and

1:15:19.840 --> 1:15:23.240
<v Speaker 1>the seventh most running back receiving yards. So I think

1:15:23.320 --> 1:15:26.599
<v Speaker 1>Zeke's gonna bail you out that way, maybe hopefully chips

1:15:26.600 --> 1:15:29.400
<v Speaker 1>in a score through the air. Let's go to the

1:15:29.439 --> 1:15:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Tampa side. Tom Brady, Mike Evans, and Chris Godwin all

1:15:34.080 --> 1:15:37.719
<v Speaker 1>a grades. For Brady, positive matchups all over the field.

1:15:37.720 --> 1:15:41.759
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about his individual whiteouts in a second here. Evans, Brown,

1:15:41.880 --> 1:15:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Godwin all have strongly positive matchups over their cornerback counterparts

1:15:46.680 --> 1:15:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Trayvon Diggs, Anthony Brown, and especially Jordan Lewis in the slot.

1:15:51.560 --> 1:15:54.639
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk more about those guys momentarily here. For Godwin

1:15:55.240 --> 1:16:01.439
<v Speaker 1>rarely healthy last year, but he gets the He gets

1:16:01.479 --> 1:16:05.519
<v Speaker 1>the slot receiver role here with a drool inducing matchup

1:16:05.560 --> 1:16:08.439
<v Speaker 1>because Jordan Lewis a lot of passer rating of ninety

1:16:08.520 --> 1:16:11.960
<v Speaker 1>eight last year and finishes as Pro Football focuses one

1:16:12.080 --> 1:16:17.680
<v Speaker 1>hundred seventh ranked cornerback. There aren't even seven corner so

1:16:17.760 --> 1:16:20.280
<v Speaker 1>we like Godwin a lot Mike Evans is going to

1:16:20.360 --> 1:16:23.840
<v Speaker 1>see a lot of Trayvon Diggs, who usually gets the

1:16:23.960 --> 1:16:28.679
<v Speaker 1>call for the opposing physical receiver, and that's Evans. Diggs

1:16:28.680 --> 1:16:30.920
<v Speaker 1>will probably be better in year year two, but in

1:16:31.000 --> 1:16:33.720
<v Speaker 1>year one it wasn't good. Diggs finished the year with

1:16:33.800 --> 1:16:36.720
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback ranking of nine seven on passes thrown into

1:16:36.760 --> 1:16:40.040
<v Speaker 1>his coverage, and ProFootball Focus ranked him fifty three at

1:16:40.040 --> 1:16:43.800
<v Speaker 1>the cornerback position. That's a strongly positive matchup for Mike Evans, who,

1:16:43.840 --> 1:16:47.000
<v Speaker 1>as I mentioned before, a grade and compounding everything else,

1:16:47.040 --> 1:16:50.439
<v Speaker 1>by the way, dallas Is safeties look super wobbly. Malik Hooker,

1:16:50.560 --> 1:16:52.800
<v Speaker 1>formerly of the Cold, will be playing his first game

1:16:52.840 --> 1:16:55.960
<v Speaker 1>since blowing out his achilles. Demonte Casey is coming off

1:16:56.000 --> 1:16:58.479
<v Speaker 1>a COVID year. He's got to knock the rust off

1:16:58.479 --> 1:17:00.559
<v Speaker 1>of that, and before that he was bad. So the

1:17:00.600 --> 1:17:04.639
<v Speaker 1>safeties for Dallas are not good either. Antonio Brown should

1:17:04.640 --> 1:17:07.599
<v Speaker 1>not be forgotten about Scott, No, he should not be great.

1:17:08.240 --> 1:17:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Brown Is will most frequently match up against cornerback Anthony Brown,

1:17:12.040 --> 1:17:14.200
<v Speaker 1>and a Brown versus Brown matchup. They are not related

1:17:14.200 --> 1:17:20.360
<v Speaker 1>to no one a nt their aunt Brown versus Aunt Brown. Um,

1:17:20.439 --> 1:17:22.759
<v Speaker 1>somehow Anthony Brown is worse than all the other corners,

1:17:22.840 --> 1:17:26.720
<v Speaker 1>ranking as cornerback one eleven by Pro Football Focus. The

1:17:26.800 --> 1:17:28.880
<v Speaker 1>worry for me on Brown is just volume. But as

1:17:28.880 --> 1:17:31.559
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned Scott, at the end of last year and

1:17:31.560 --> 1:17:34.160
<v Speaker 1>through the playoffs, the volume was fine. So you could

1:17:34.200 --> 1:17:36.320
<v Speaker 1>consider Brown in a grade if you want. I gotta

1:17:36.360 --> 1:17:38.679
<v Speaker 1>be grade on him, And I will note that Brown

1:17:38.720 --> 1:17:41.200
<v Speaker 1>scored six times in the Buck's final six games. I mean,

1:17:41.479 --> 1:17:45.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, in sneaky fashion with maybe Brown is more

1:17:45.320 --> 1:17:47.680
<v Speaker 1>reliable than the other guys, but I think a lot

1:17:47.680 --> 1:17:49.840
<v Speaker 1>of it was that Evans and Goden were beaten down

1:17:49.880 --> 1:17:52.280
<v Speaker 1>through injury throughout the course of last year, and Brown

1:17:52.320 --> 1:17:54.280
<v Speaker 1>came in fresh after not playing the first half of

1:17:54.280 --> 1:17:57.200
<v Speaker 1>the season. It should be noted they've stated that Mike Evans,

1:17:57.320 --> 1:18:00.679
<v Speaker 1>they think Mike Evans is in the like he's worked

1:18:00.720 --> 1:18:04.040
<v Speaker 1>harder than he has any other offseason. They absolutely love

1:18:04.280 --> 1:18:06.600
<v Speaker 1>what he's doing right now. They think he's in prime

1:18:06.640 --> 1:18:10.000
<v Speaker 1>of the dreaded best shape of his ever. Listened to that,

1:18:10.160 --> 1:18:14.320
<v Speaker 1>We've learned, we've learned, We've learned. Rob Gronkowski gets a

1:18:14.400 --> 1:18:17.400
<v Speaker 1>C grade you're you're looking for touchdowns with because the

1:18:17.479 --> 1:18:21.400
<v Speaker 1>volume is not there to make him usually a PPR helper,

1:18:21.800 --> 1:18:23.840
<v Speaker 1>but you've got an opportunity for just that in this game.

1:18:23.880 --> 1:18:26.960
<v Speaker 1>The Cowboys were shockingly good against tight ends last year.

1:18:27.000 --> 1:18:29.920
<v Speaker 1>They ranked second in yards allowed, and no tight end

1:18:29.960 --> 1:18:33.439
<v Speaker 1>top thirty eight yards in a game against them in

1:18:33.479 --> 1:18:36.519
<v Speaker 1>the entire second half of the year. But again we're

1:18:36.560 --> 1:18:40.120
<v Speaker 1>looking for touchdowns. They allowed a healthy seven touchdowns to

1:18:40.200 --> 1:18:42.320
<v Speaker 1>tight ends, and that's what you hope you can get

1:18:42.360 --> 1:18:46.760
<v Speaker 1>from Gronk. Gronk will frequently match up against rookie linebacker

1:18:46.880 --> 1:18:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Micah Parsons, making his first ever NFL start. Now, he

1:18:50.240 --> 1:18:52.760
<v Speaker 1>was a first rounder, and Micah Parsons maybe a great

1:18:52.760 --> 1:18:56.760
<v Speaker 1>player at some point, but game one, you know, maybe not.

1:18:56.840 --> 1:18:59.760
<v Speaker 1>In game one, we'll give the advantage to Rob Gronkowski.

1:19:00.520 --> 1:19:02.760
<v Speaker 1>And finally, let's talk the running back. So I'm giving

1:19:02.800 --> 1:19:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Leo Fournette and Ronald Jones both see grades here. It

1:19:06.720 --> 1:19:09.280
<v Speaker 1>is a tantalizing matchup, which I'll talk about in a minute,

1:19:09.320 --> 1:19:12.280
<v Speaker 1>But this is the league's most inscrutable running back by committee,

1:19:12.439 --> 1:19:14.719
<v Speaker 1>and there's no reason to think that Bruce arians usage

1:19:14.760 --> 1:19:17.519
<v Speaker 1>will be any more guessable this year than it has

1:19:17.560 --> 1:19:21.080
<v Speaker 1>been in the past. For Net dominated the playoffs. You

1:19:21.120 --> 1:19:24.360
<v Speaker 1>guys know that, but that doesn't mean anything, and Bruce

1:19:24.360 --> 1:19:28.439
<v Speaker 1>arians might flip the script just because also they've probably

1:19:28.439 --> 1:19:30.559
<v Speaker 1>feel you have a super Bowl team, so they might

1:19:30.640 --> 1:19:33.439
<v Speaker 1>not try to run one too hard, right, They could

1:19:33.439 --> 1:19:36.639
<v Speaker 1>easily flip flop these guys around. The Dallas run defense

1:19:36.680 --> 1:19:38.799
<v Speaker 1>was off of last year. They marng thirtieth in rushing

1:19:38.840 --> 1:19:41.679
<v Speaker 1>yards per carry, thirty feet in rushing yards per game.

1:19:42.920 --> 1:19:46.439
<v Speaker 1>Maybe a healthy latent vander Esh will help. Maybe Micah

1:19:46.479 --> 1:19:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Parsons will help those are you know, new additions for

1:19:48.960 --> 1:19:51.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, after vendor Esh missed a lot of last year,

1:19:51.600 --> 1:19:54.000
<v Speaker 1>there's only a few years removed from being one of

1:19:54.000 --> 1:19:55.840
<v Speaker 1>the best in the league, right, So you know, maybe

1:19:55.840 --> 1:19:58.439
<v Speaker 1>those things will help this run defense. But until we

1:19:58.520 --> 1:20:01.160
<v Speaker 1>know that's the fact, this feels like an opportunity. But

1:20:01.360 --> 1:20:03.200
<v Speaker 1>you've got a lot of danger here, and you guys

1:20:03.200 --> 1:20:05.320
<v Speaker 1>all know it. For Nette and Jones c Grade, you

1:20:05.439 --> 1:20:07.799
<v Speaker 1>just know that you're flirting with danger, do you. Bernard

1:20:07.880 --> 1:20:09.840
<v Speaker 1>may not play. He's got a high ankle sprain, and

1:20:09.880 --> 1:20:11.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's gonna go in this game. And

1:20:11.560 --> 1:20:14.599
<v Speaker 1>never I don't start anybody who's playing through a high

1:20:14.600 --> 1:20:18.040
<v Speaker 1>ankle spring Yeah, I'm super right now, and you know

1:20:19.160 --> 1:20:22.719
<v Speaker 1>exactly Um, you barely made it to the studio barely,

1:20:22.920 --> 1:20:25.519
<v Speaker 1>that's right, you were. You came in questionable but got

1:20:25.520 --> 1:20:27.439
<v Speaker 1>it out all right. So there's your breakdown of the

1:20:27.479 --> 1:20:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Thursday night game. Okay, let's release our final set of

1:20:31.240 --> 1:20:34.719
<v Speaker 1>sleepers for this year. Matt, who you got? I got

1:20:34.800 --> 1:20:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Juan Johnson and it's a guy maybe you haven't heard

1:20:37.840 --> 1:20:41.600
<v Speaker 1>of before. Um, but fantasy football is all about opportunity,

1:20:41.920 --> 1:20:44.599
<v Speaker 1>and there are lots of opportunities that catch passes for

1:20:44.680 --> 1:20:46.599
<v Speaker 1>the New Orleans Saints right now, or should I say

1:20:46.600 --> 1:20:50.160
<v Speaker 1>that Jacksonville Saints or whatever they are. Michael Thomas is

1:20:50.200 --> 1:20:52.720
<v Speaker 1>out for a month or more. Tray Kawon Smith is

1:20:52.760 --> 1:20:56.080
<v Speaker 1>not good. Mark has Callaway has come on as of late.

1:20:56.120 --> 1:20:58.759
<v Speaker 1>But Adam Troutman was supposed to be the target darling

1:20:58.760 --> 1:21:01.479
<v Speaker 1>in this offense. He was carted off with an ankle

1:21:01.520 --> 1:21:04.639
<v Speaker 1>injury a week ago. Nick Vannette is the next tight

1:21:04.720 --> 1:21:06.879
<v Speaker 1>end in line on the depth chart. He's also injured.

1:21:07.200 --> 1:21:12.280
<v Speaker 1>So insert converted wide receiver, second year tight end Juwan Johnson.

1:21:12.320 --> 1:21:15.120
<v Speaker 1>We love second year tight ends. We love tight ends

1:21:15.120 --> 1:21:18.960
<v Speaker 1>that were converted wide receivers or basketball players, and Johnson

1:21:18.960 --> 1:21:21.559
<v Speaker 1>played wide receiver in College of both Penn State and Oregon.

1:21:21.600 --> 1:21:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Has been one of Jamis Winston's favorite targets this preseason.

1:21:25.720 --> 1:21:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Johnson's best strength maybe his elusiveness after the catch, and

1:21:29.280 --> 1:21:31.320
<v Speaker 1>he's looking like he maybe the top tight end on

1:21:31.360 --> 1:21:34.080
<v Speaker 1>their depth chart in week one. But he's probably listed,

1:21:34.479 --> 1:21:36.280
<v Speaker 1>but he might be listed as a wide receiver in

1:21:36.320 --> 1:21:38.479
<v Speaker 1>your league. So check it out. You might have to

1:21:38.520 --> 1:21:40.160
<v Speaker 1>switch the positions if you're in if you're in a

1:21:40.240 --> 1:21:42.320
<v Speaker 1>league that can do that, but he might be listed

1:21:42.320 --> 1:21:44.639
<v Speaker 1>as a wide receiver in your league. Yeah, at katine

1:21:44.680 --> 1:21:46.920
<v Speaker 1>leagues dot Com, we had we went and we had

1:21:46.960 --> 1:21:49.439
<v Speaker 1>to switch him to tight end because he's he has

1:21:50.360 --> 1:21:53.479
<v Speaker 1>That's right, all right? Who is your final sleeper of

1:21:53.560 --> 1:21:58.120
<v Speaker 1>the preseason, Scott, I am going with Amen Ross st Brown.

1:21:58.160 --> 1:22:00.360
<v Speaker 1>You've probably heard me talk about him a few times

1:22:00.439 --> 1:22:05.480
<v Speaker 1>on this show. They they kept Tyrolle Williams and they dropped,

1:22:05.840 --> 1:22:12.639
<v Speaker 1>they waved. Remember Brett, I was gonna say, that's right, shot, Ferryman. Uh,

1:22:12.720 --> 1:22:15.559
<v Speaker 1>Tyrell Williams has already banged up. Aman Ra has the

1:22:15.600 --> 1:22:18.880
<v Speaker 1>slot down and and they only have two other guys

1:22:18.920 --> 1:22:20.960
<v Speaker 1>that can play the slot on the team. You have

1:22:21.160 --> 1:22:25.599
<v Speaker 1>a five ft nine hundred sixty pound calif Raymond, who

1:22:25.760 --> 1:22:27.559
<v Speaker 1>is not going to beat out their fourth round pick.

1:22:28.000 --> 1:22:32.759
<v Speaker 1>And then you have Trinity Benson who spent two years

1:22:32.920 --> 1:22:35.559
<v Speaker 1>on a practice squad and has just come over to

1:22:35.560 --> 1:22:38.519
<v Speaker 1>the team. That slot role is his. He's gonna get

1:22:38.560 --> 1:22:41.519
<v Speaker 1>every bit of the slot work on that team. Um.

1:22:41.560 --> 1:22:44.920
<v Speaker 1>They did pick up Carder Hodge from Cleveland, but he's

1:22:45.000 --> 1:22:47.280
<v Speaker 1>also unlikely to you know, jump in the slot and

1:22:47.280 --> 1:22:51.439
<v Speaker 1>take any any staffs from am Right. My final sleeper

1:22:51.880 --> 1:22:55.479
<v Speaker 1>is Baker Mayfield. When we look back at last year

1:22:55.479 --> 1:22:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and you look at his full season totals, they're kind

1:22:58.360 --> 1:23:01.519
<v Speaker 1>of underwhelming. But and I think Matt you may have

1:23:01.560 --> 1:23:04.080
<v Speaker 1>brought this up a week or two ago. You did.

1:23:05.479 --> 1:23:09.280
<v Speaker 1>If you remove these three crazy bad weather games that

1:23:09.320 --> 1:23:12.800
<v Speaker 1>they had in the consecutive home games. Um, if you

1:23:12.880 --> 1:23:17.959
<v Speaker 1>take that out, suddenly Baker was a pretty good fantasy producer.

1:23:18.120 --> 1:23:22.479
<v Speaker 1>His touchdown interstation interception ratio is great. And this upcoming

1:23:22.520 --> 1:23:25.000
<v Speaker 1>year will be his second year with the same offensive

1:23:25.040 --> 1:23:28.000
<v Speaker 1>coordinator and head coach, which he hasn't had head coach,

1:23:28.400 --> 1:23:31.360
<v Speaker 1>head coach, and coach of the year last year. UM,

1:23:31.400 --> 1:23:33.720
<v Speaker 1>if you take out those three games and then pro

1:23:33.880 --> 1:23:36.880
<v Speaker 1>rate the his season across, he would have had a

1:23:36.920 --> 1:23:41.360
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight hundred yard thirty two touchdown season, which is

1:23:41.400 --> 1:23:46.320
<v Speaker 1>exactly Ryan Tannehill from last year. Exactly, Ryan Daniel Tannehill

1:23:46.360 --> 1:23:48.640
<v Speaker 1>was quarterback eight last year. He's been drafted right now

1:23:48.720 --> 1:23:51.840
<v Speaker 1>is quarterback eleven, Baker Mayfield going off the board his

1:23:51.920 --> 1:23:57.920
<v Speaker 1>quarterback eighteen. That is an incorrect delta. There's value of

1:23:58.160 --> 1:24:00.920
<v Speaker 1>the owners, there is fantasy. There's a lot of value there.

1:24:01.240 --> 1:24:05.320
<v Speaker 1>And remember Baker Mayfield has started every game he's played

1:24:05.320 --> 1:24:09.040
<v Speaker 1>in the postseason. He threw touchdowns in fourteen of his

1:24:09.160 --> 1:24:12.240
<v Speaker 1>fifteen non weather games, so he didn't go leave you

1:24:12.320 --> 1:24:16.000
<v Speaker 1>high and dry at any point. And yeah, Kevin Stefanski

1:24:16.040 --> 1:24:18.880
<v Speaker 1>has got a run heavy approach and that probably caps

1:24:18.960 --> 1:24:23.960
<v Speaker 1>his total upside. But as a safe second quarterback on

1:24:24.040 --> 1:24:28.080
<v Speaker 1>your team, I think Baker Mayfield's ideal. And you don't

1:24:28.120 --> 1:24:31.120
<v Speaker 1>even have to take him before round thirteen of your draft.

1:24:31.960 --> 1:24:33.880
<v Speaker 1>How how would you feel about him as your QB

1:24:34.080 --> 1:24:40.160
<v Speaker 1>one if you just totally slapped to and you grab

1:24:40.680 --> 1:24:43.560
<v Speaker 1>him and Tray Lance give me an upside guy after me.

1:24:43.840 --> 1:24:46.120
<v Speaker 1>But you might actually have to take a Lance before Mayfield.

1:24:46.200 --> 1:24:50.599
<v Speaker 1>You probably do. But there you go around twelve and thirteen,

1:24:50.800 --> 1:24:53.559
<v Speaker 1>you could probably grab those two and be like, right,

1:24:53.640 --> 1:24:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I got Mayfield for safety, and then I've got this

1:24:56.439 --> 1:25:00.880
<v Speaker 1>other upside quarterback which is a possibility. Let me run you,

1:25:00.960 --> 1:25:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Let me run you by the final sleeper I thought

1:25:02.880 --> 1:25:07.320
<v Speaker 1>about but did not use Quaes Watkins. Yeah that now

1:25:07.479 --> 1:25:10.080
<v Speaker 1>he most people have don't even know who I'm talking

1:25:10.280 --> 1:25:14.240
<v Speaker 1>especially you know, he might have some big that's what

1:25:14.320 --> 1:25:17.160
<v Speaker 1>he's all about. He won the slot job for Philadelphia

1:25:17.160 --> 1:25:20.080
<v Speaker 1>and sent Travis Fulgum to the waiver wire. I mean

1:25:20.160 --> 1:25:23.360
<v Speaker 1>that's you know, and Folgum was pretty good last year.

1:25:23.680 --> 1:25:26.880
<v Speaker 1>They really like that kid. And I think he's you know,

1:25:27.080 --> 1:25:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a splash play guy who in spots

1:25:31.240 --> 1:25:34.360
<v Speaker 1>starts is gonna be startable. You watch when we're doing

1:25:34.360 --> 1:25:36.479
<v Speaker 1>our when we are doing our take a chance on

1:25:36.560 --> 1:25:40.799
<v Speaker 1>the segment, and oftentimes we identify a slot wide receiver

1:25:40.880 --> 1:25:43.719
<v Speaker 1>who's got an easy matchup against the slot corner. Quas

1:25:43.760 --> 1:25:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Watkins name is gonna come up. He probably will, especially

1:25:47.160 --> 1:25:51.559
<v Speaker 1>since he lives in the NFC East. That helps as well.

1:25:52.000 --> 1:25:54.080
<v Speaker 1>That does help as well. And you know, look at

1:25:54.080 --> 1:25:56.639
<v Speaker 1>who's battling for for targets with outside you know they've

1:25:56.640 --> 1:25:59.720
<v Speaker 1>got competent tight ends. But for receivers a rookie and

1:25:59.800 --> 1:26:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Jay W Reagor a rookie and Jalen Reagor. Right, So

1:26:03.080 --> 1:26:05.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, Qus Watkins, that was the guy I was

1:26:05.200 --> 1:26:07.960
<v Speaker 1>thinking about. Atlanta made a sneaky move at the end

1:26:07.960 --> 1:26:09.880
<v Speaker 1>of the year. Sorry, at the end of last week,

1:26:10.520 --> 1:26:15.479
<v Speaker 1>picking up Wayne Gallman and dropping Codrey Allison. That was

1:26:15.520 --> 1:26:19.320
<v Speaker 1>a sneaky move. Now, we've had some different opinions about

1:26:19.320 --> 1:26:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Mike Davis. None of us think he's an elite runner.

1:26:21.640 --> 1:26:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I think most of us think he's just an okay

1:26:24.000 --> 1:26:27.800
<v Speaker 1>starting running back. Wayne Goldman was good in spots last

1:26:27.840 --> 1:26:31.719
<v Speaker 1>year for the Giants. Do you think this bodes poorly

1:26:31.840 --> 1:26:36.720
<v Speaker 1>for Mike Davis. I think it bodes more poorly than

1:26:37.120 --> 1:26:40.479
<v Speaker 1>it did when Quadrea Allison was his backup, because I

1:26:40.479 --> 1:26:43.040
<v Speaker 1>think Gallman is is a is a better option. I

1:26:43.520 --> 1:26:46.400
<v Speaker 1>had no faith in Allison being anything that could take

1:26:46.920 --> 1:26:50.559
<v Speaker 1>really anything away from Mike Davis. But Wayne Gollman is

1:26:50.560 --> 1:26:54.600
<v Speaker 1>a guy who can take legitimate touches. The way I

1:26:54.720 --> 1:26:57.679
<v Speaker 1>watched Mike Davis last year, he looked good in spots,

1:26:57.720 --> 1:27:00.920
<v Speaker 1>but as as the game the starts aracked up, like

1:27:01.040 --> 1:27:03.880
<v Speaker 1>as the starts racked up, less and less and less so,

1:27:04.160 --> 1:27:06.360
<v Speaker 1>and and I think that's why he's been a backup

1:27:06.400 --> 1:27:09.360
<v Speaker 1>most of his career. That so, I think that could

1:27:09.520 --> 1:27:12.280
<v Speaker 1>happen in this where maybe Mike Davis starts out as

1:27:12.320 --> 1:27:15.960
<v Speaker 1>the guy and he starts to wear and it's more

1:27:16.000 --> 1:27:18.799
<v Speaker 1>of a split the further we get along. Yeah, that

1:27:18.800 --> 1:27:20.800
<v Speaker 1>that move did not get a lot of attention, but

1:27:20.840 --> 1:27:23.360
<v Speaker 1>it definitely caused a little bit of concern for me.

1:27:23.439 --> 1:27:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Matt Well, and are we sure that twenty eight year

1:27:25.800 --> 1:27:29.400
<v Speaker 1>old Mike Davis, which is ancient for a running back,

1:27:29.479 --> 1:27:32.559
<v Speaker 1>are we sure that he's good? Are we absolutely sure?

1:27:32.600 --> 1:27:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Because I'm definitely not And not that I'm sure that

1:27:35.439 --> 1:27:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Wayne Gallman is good or any better, but that there's

1:27:39.960 --> 1:27:42.920
<v Speaker 1>not enough there for us to go. This can't be

1:27:42.960 --> 1:27:45.880
<v Speaker 1>a split backfield here. It's it's not as clear as

1:27:45.920 --> 1:27:48.880
<v Speaker 1>everybody thinks. It's just Mike Davis, That's what it was. Yeah,

1:27:48.880 --> 1:27:51.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anybody loved Mike Davis. We just loved

1:27:51.160 --> 1:27:53.760
<v Speaker 1>the situation. We love the opportunity and you get more

1:27:53.800 --> 1:27:57.600
<v Speaker 1>and more average runners well, and that was one of

1:27:57.600 --> 1:27:59.680
<v Speaker 1>our traits of a running back bust guys that we

1:27:59.720 --> 1:28:03.960
<v Speaker 1>thought a situation is great. But maybe he's he's maybe

1:28:03.960 --> 1:28:06.479
<v Speaker 1>not that good of a runner, and it's yeah, the

1:28:06.479 --> 1:28:09.799
<v Speaker 1>situation is great, but just work out and Mike Davis,

1:28:09.960 --> 1:28:12.800
<v Speaker 1>he's not not built for goal line use. But Wayne

1:28:12.800 --> 1:28:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Goldman is to just put Kyle Pitts in the background.

1:28:16.280 --> 1:28:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Just let him do everything it, let him be quarterback.

1:28:18.840 --> 1:28:20.479
<v Speaker 1>I know there are some people that would love to

1:28:20.520 --> 1:28:22.960
<v Speaker 1>have Kyle Pitts. Many people think he's not a tight end.

1:28:23.320 --> 1:28:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Pits is not a tight it. Maybe it's a quarterback.

1:28:25.400 --> 1:28:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Let's make it. Do you think he Kyle Pitts can

1:28:27.960 --> 1:28:31.479
<v Speaker 1>throw and catch the touchbass. That would be very Brad

1:28:31.560 --> 1:28:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Johnson style. You can pull that off, would be wonderful.
