Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from my Heart Radio,
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and
Speaker 1: advice dot Com. Here's your host, Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly.
Speaker 1: It is officially a draft edition because at this point
Speaker 1: everybody's drafting. You either just had your draft or it's
Speaker 1: just coming up now, and we're here to get you ready.
Speaker 1: And by we I mean my cost. Today it's Scott
Speaker 1: Fish and Matt Harrison from Shocked Fantasy. Hello. Hi, great
Speaker 1: to have you guys here. It's draft season. It's the best.
Speaker 1: This is like it's the best week of the year.
Speaker 1: How many of you got left? Church? I got two
Speaker 1: left to left? I got two left. I've got a
Speaker 1: and I hate talking about my own league, so I'm
Speaker 1: gonna keep this very brief. I've got my whiskey guillotine
Speaker 1: Lee in which, oh that sounds great. The winner gets
Speaker 1: a bottle of whiskey from all seventeen of the people
Speaker 1: who got cut over the course of the year. So
Speaker 1: if you're the winner, you get seventeen incoming bottles drunk whiskey.
Speaker 1: You don't have to drink them all one night, Um.
Speaker 1: And then my other one is also kind of fun.
Speaker 1: It's similar to an old game that I devised for
Speaker 1: The Onion. For a little while, The Onion had a
Speaker 1: fantasy football game and I made that was all about inefficiency.
Speaker 1: You wanted to get like as many carries for your
Speaker 1: running back as possible with the fewest number of yards,
Speaker 1: as many passes from your quarterback as possible with the
Speaker 1: fewest number of yards and touchdowns. So I'm doing a
Speaker 1: it's like a Nega league everything back. Yeah, I've played
Speaker 1: in like race to the bottom leagues where you want
Speaker 1: negative stuff to happen, but I like the inefficiency go
Speaker 1: way better. Yes, right, And so you know you need
Speaker 1: people who are still produced. They're getting the ball in
Speaker 1: their hands and they just don't do anything with this.
Speaker 1: I love that. Yeah, I haven't heard of that before.
Speaker 1: It's fun, um. And so those are my Those are
Speaker 1: my two remaining drafts. And again I mentioned them only
Speaker 1: because they're fun, different and we love that stuff. Coming
Speaker 1: up over the course of the show, we will give
Speaker 1: you the teammates that we think are better to draft
Speaker 1: teammates people in the same team, same position. Would you
Speaker 1: rather have guy A at his average draft position, or
Speaker 1: guy B at his average draft position, or as as
Speaker 1: as as we've done historically, just take the cheaper guy.
Speaker 1: It almost always goes to the cheaper guy. We'll almost
Speaker 1: we'll go through the training camp battles that we outlined
Speaker 1: a month ago and tell you who won those. We'll
Speaker 1: answer three tough questions like we do every week. Well,
Speaker 1: we've got a segment called I might just be wrong
Speaker 1: in which we really just identify our fears that you know,
Speaker 1: we all take stands on things. What are the ones
Speaker 1: that maybe we're not right about that we're laying awaken.
Speaker 1: This is tough for yes, it is. And then uh,
Speaker 1: we'll wrap things up with a Thursday night game fantasy
Speaker 1: preview because we will not have another show. We have
Speaker 1: a we have an NFL game, but we're the show
Speaker 1: mail our final sleepers of the year. Let's go around
Speaker 1: each team for the final time here in the preseason
Speaker 1: and talk about the one thing you need to know
Speaker 1: about this the final week of the preseason before the
Speaker 1: regular season starts, beginning with I think Matt has got
Speaker 1: the Panthers. I do have the Panthers, who are set
Speaker 1: to be one of the youngest teams in the league
Speaker 1: with seventeen of their eighteen draft picks from the last
Speaker 1: two years making the team. That's kind of unheard of. Uh.
Speaker 1: Their defense will make plenty of mistakes, but their offense
Speaker 1: should be constantly throwing the ball. With CMC back and healthy,
Speaker 1: plus the additions of Sam Donald, Terrace Marshall Jr. And
Speaker 1: Dan Arnold are ready to make some big impacts. Scott,
Speaker 1: the Raiders, what do we need to know? Uh? They
Speaker 1: ended up releasing John Brown, cementing that role for Brian
Speaker 1: Brian Edwards in the on the roster and in starting lineup,
Speaker 1: also Jayleen i R. So it's basically a two man
Speaker 1: show at running back at least early in the season.
Speaker 1: Who has more touchdowns Kenyan Drake or Josh Jacobs Man.
Speaker 1: Don't we have a segment that is coming up later?
Speaker 1: You're right, I almost most touchdown call for the Packers.
Speaker 1: Starting left taboc tackle David baktr will begin the season
Speaker 1: on the pup list as it recovers from last year's
Speaker 1: a c L. They're being very cautious with him. You know.
Speaker 1: The Packers normally stalwart offensive line has undergone a lot
Speaker 1: of change over the past two years. They lost Brian
Speaker 1: Blaga last year, Corey Lindsley this season. Now bok tr
Speaker 1: Uh is out and he'll be replaced by Elkin Jenkins,
Speaker 1: who has been awesome. But he's an interior lineman who's
Speaker 1: gonna have to kick out to left tackle now. And
Speaker 1: he's one of the greatest draft picks of the Packers
Speaker 1: have had recently. He's been fantastic for them. Also, I'll
Speaker 1: mention this rookie wide receiver and Marie Rogers doesn't appear
Speaker 1: anywhere near ready based on we've seen in preseason training
Speaker 1: camp to make any impact here, and so he's got
Speaker 1: to be fifth on that depth chart. He yeah, that's
Speaker 1: probably I think that's probably right about that. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: let's turn over to Washington Matt. Only sixteen players remained
Speaker 1: from the roster that Ron Rivera inherited just over a
Speaker 1: year ago. Some interesting names that made the cut at
Speaker 1: the skill position. Sammis Reyes is a tight end who
Speaker 1: never played football before this year. What wow, Okay, awesome? Huh.
Speaker 1: Dax Milne was the seventh round rookie wide receiver and
Speaker 1: punt returner who beat out Antonio Gandy Golden for the
Speaker 1: last bott on the depth chart and undrafted running back
Speaker 1: Jared Patterson beat out Peyton Barber for a spot and
Speaker 1: has some big flashes in the posseason. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: watching him play, Jared Patterson is a decent player. He's
Speaker 1: probably the handcuff to Antonio Gibson. He is the handcuff
Speaker 1: you want if you're if you're the handcuffing type, Jared Patterson.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Buffalo, Scott. I should add that they actually,
Speaker 1: the Raiders actually did pick up Peyton Barber after he
Speaker 1: was just remembering that now as he says that he'll
Speaker 1: probably lead them in touchdowns. Right there you go. There's
Speaker 1: your answer. Uh. For Buffalo, there's really not much. I'll
Speaker 1: just say that Dawson Knox secured the job. They released
Speaker 1: Jacob Hollister. It's not really relevant for fantasy, but Church
Speaker 1: loves it when I waste twenty seconds saying nothing, thank you.
Speaker 1: Texans have rookie wide receiver Nico Collins, who was getting
Speaker 1: first team reps in the final preseason game and really
Speaker 1: only needs to be about Chris Conley to start the
Speaker 1: season opposite Will Fuller, and I think there's a decent
Speaker 1: chance that he does that. Nico Collins. I know, Scott,
Speaker 1: you've been on Nico Collins. I'm on Nico Collins and
Speaker 1: so I want to make sure you know that. Also,
Speaker 1: all three of the running backs got first and second
Speaker 1: team looks throughout the entire preseason. Philip Lindsay, David Johnson,
Speaker 1: mark Ingram Avoid. Let's go to the Buccaneers. They play
Speaker 1: on Thursday. Man, Yeah, it's been a pretty quiet preseason
Speaker 1: with all twenty two starters from offense and re defense returning.
Speaker 1: But one of the interesting things I found it they
Speaker 1: have the worth easiest schedule in the league as the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champs, which doesn't happen very often. And in fact,
Speaker 1: if you play a league with team defense, the Bucks
Speaker 1: should likely be close to the top spot because after
Speaker 1: facing Dak Prescott in Week one, they do not face
Speaker 1: another top fifteen quarterback from last year until Week fourteen
Speaker 1: in Josh Allen. And that's it, Tang, they face nobody.
Speaker 1: It's all rookies all the time this year and and
Speaker 1: frankly bad quarterbacks. So the Buck's interesting defense this year
Speaker 1: for sure. It sounds to all their starters known, all
Speaker 1: their starters, they feels like they're going to the Super Bowl. Uh,
Speaker 1: all right, Scott. Next up to Cleveland Brown another one.
Speaker 1: There's not much news except for Donovan People's Jones just
Speaker 1: keeps getting hype, but he's still going to kind of battle,
Speaker 1: you know. Rishad Higgins there for the wide receiver. Three dirties.
Speaker 1: I guess, uh, if there's an injury, keep that minded,
Speaker 1: to keep that not named in mind. And another in
Speaker 1: a series of blows to the Colts offense, Starting left
Speaker 1: tackle Sam Tevy tours a c L. That means longtime
Speaker 1: veteran Eric Fisher, who by the way, has COVID right
Speaker 1: now is is going to try to be ready by
Speaker 1: week one to fill in there. It's possible the Colts
Speaker 1: could start this season without their starting left tackle, left guard,
Speaker 1: and quarterback, although it looks like Carson Wentz is heading
Speaker 1: towards playing in the opener. Let's next go to the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. Man, it's all about the running backs and
Speaker 1: wide receivers. DeAndre Swift has been limited all camp with
Speaker 1: a growing injury, and Jamal Williams has quickly become a
Speaker 1: favorite of both Lions fans and coaches alike. And nobody
Speaker 1: wants to hear this, but I would bet a yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: taco best pork burrito that Williams outscores Swift and Fantasy
Speaker 1: this year. Fantasy points, yeah, and Fantasy points. On the
Speaker 1: other side, the Lions cut Brashod Pairman, which I talked
Speaker 1: about maybe happening last week, Tyrrelle Williams, a Monross st Brown,
Speaker 1: and a host of others, including the newly acquired Trinity
Speaker 1: Benson headline the weakest wide receiver corps I think I
Speaker 1: ever remember in the history of the NFL. It's down there,
Speaker 1: let's head next to the jet Scott. So Jamison Crowder
Speaker 1: still isn't prexing and he just got put on he's
Speaker 1: injured and just got with a growing injury and just
Speaker 1: got put on the reserve COVID list. We don't know
Speaker 1: yet at the time where you know doing this that
Speaker 1: if it's the ten day or if what his vaccinations
Speaker 1: test is, if it is if he's unvaccinated, he's missing
Speaker 1: week one, yes now because it's nine days away. Nay.
Speaker 1: Of note, Elijah Moore was sort of you know who
Speaker 1: was flashed basically from O. T A S. Four Wars.
Speaker 1: Was my my worry hesitancy has always been well. Jamison
Speaker 1: Crowder is a slot receiver who's sitting ahead of him
Speaker 1: and he had to overcome Crowder. Elijah Moore just might
Speaker 1: start with PLA never looked back, and you know that
Speaker 1: might be that there may not be any factor there.
Speaker 1: They have said Elijah Moore. If Crowder is out, Elijah
Speaker 1: Moore will bounce outside. Let's go to the Chiefs, where
Speaker 1: the battle to replace Sammy Watkins is. The number two
Speaker 1: receivers still looks murky. You've got me Cole Hardman. DeMarcus
Speaker 1: Robinson getting run with the first team offense in the
Speaker 1: final preseason game Byron Pringle saw sometime with the ones,
Speaker 1: but mostly the two's. I you don't want the second
Speaker 1: wide receiver in Kansas City. It's never really panned out before,
Speaker 1: so maybe you just maybe you just don't care. But
Speaker 1: I think there's I know that mi Cole Hartman has
Speaker 1: been drafted in many leagues on the promise of him
Speaker 1: getting a big uptick in playing time and taking Sammy
Speaker 1: Watkins spot, But I can't tell you that that's happened.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Seattle. Matt Russell Wilson is entering his
Speaker 1: tenth season in the league, and in the previous nine
Speaker 1: seasons he hasn't had an offensive line rank above eighteen
Speaker 1: in Pro Football Focus pass blocking grades. That trend looks
Speaker 1: to continue, as the Seahawks kept six tackles on their
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster. Nobody does that outside of Dwayne
Speaker 1: Brown the Sea. The Seahawks cycled through four different starting
Speaker 1: right tackles in camp. Brandon Shell looks like the projected
Speaker 1: starter right now, but it's bad. Next up the Broncos
Speaker 1: Scott so they released Royce Freeman, who then went to
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Interestingly enough, the Ravens tried to pick up
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman on waivers, which I think is that's a
Speaker 1: little something there, But that just gives more confidence to
Speaker 1: the Gordon Williams split. They just trust those two guys.
Speaker 1: I think you're right about that with Boone, and I
Speaker 1: are of course too. For the Rams, backup running back
Speaker 1: Xavier Jones got cut in the wake of the Sony
Speaker 1: Michelle trade and his ankle injury. Jake funk is your
Speaker 1: third string running back for l A. Next up the
Speaker 1: Eagles Matt after the Gardner Minshew deal. The Eagles have
Speaker 1: the most depth at quarterback in the league with Hurts,
Speaker 1: Minshew and Joe Flacco. The beat writers are calling Flacco
Speaker 1: the number two right now, but people forget how good
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew was last season. He finished QB fifteen and
Speaker 1: fantasy points per game average two fifty one yards per game,
Speaker 1: which is better than Kyler Murray uh and and Ryan
Speaker 1: Tannehill and yardage, completed sixty sent of his throws and
Speaker 1: sixteen touchdowns to only five picks. He's gonna maybe play
Speaker 1: more the people want to think. I know, I think
Speaker 1: he's involved. We've said this all preseason. No quarterback and
Speaker 1: maybe no player has more volatility to him than Jalen Hurts,
Speaker 1: and this puts more pressure on Hurts if if he
Speaker 1: doesn't pass well, They've got really two viable backups that
Speaker 1: can step in and take that spot from him. This
Speaker 1: is a This is something you have to be concerned
Speaker 1: about if you're a Jalen Hurts owner. Next up the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. Scott I mentioned it last week that that
Speaker 1: guests can really seems to be the guy there. So
Speaker 1: I'll go to something new where the owner apparently really
Speaker 1: really wants Deshaun Watson. But I don't think even if
Speaker 1: he goes there, I don't think he plays this this
Speaker 1: not this year. Let's go to Minnesota or Smith's season
Speaker 1: is officially over as he's got a timetable to return
Speaker 1: that looks like December or January. Tyler Conklin and new
Speaker 1: Viking Chris Herndon will likely share duties once Herndon gets
Speaker 1: acclimated into the lineup. Anyway, there are very few qualified
Speaker 1: options to catch a Kirk Cousins pass on roster right now.
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson and I'm feeling are going to be targeted
Speaker 1: like crazy in this offense. Next up, Cowboys offensive line
Speaker 1: should rebound in a big way, and it's left tackle
Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith returns after playing just a hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: four snaps last season. Right tackle l Collins returns after
Speaker 1: missing all of due to hip surgery. Zack Martin is
Speaker 1: one of the best right guards in the game. Connor
Speaker 1: Williams finished seventeenth overall in pff S grading. So the
Speaker 1: Cowboys bring that offensive line back. Let's go Patriots. Scott
Speaker 1: mac Jones won the job. Cam Newton is a free
Speaker 1: agent now, probably good for Harris uh The goal line
Speaker 1: work is gone from Cam Uh stid him on the pupe.
Speaker 1: Hoyer got resigned, he got released and then resigned. So
Speaker 1: that's those are the only two quarterbacks on roster right now.
Speaker 1: By the way, Cam Newton two Baltimore war seems like
Speaker 1: the greatest idea that they could have because they only
Speaker 1: have Tyler Huntley as the backup on roster right now.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't have to change much in that offense if
Speaker 1: they if Lamar Jackson were to go down and Huntley
Speaker 1: super athletic two. So I mean they like that type
Speaker 1: of player and so it could make some sense. I
Speaker 1: think Cam's just gonna wait for an injury. He's just
Speaker 1: probably a starter to get hurt and then raise his
Speaker 1: hand and they'll probably get signed. By the way, the
Speaker 1: backup for one day for the Patriots to Mac Jones
Speaker 1: was Jacoby Buyers, which for the Saints, it appears that
Speaker 1: the starting wide receivers for the Saints home game in
Speaker 1: Jacksonville will be Deonte Harris and Marquez Callaway trade Kwon
Speaker 1: Smith's still not practicing due to an undisclosed injury, and
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas on I are did you hear how the
Speaker 1: Saints chose Jacksonville is the site? And all I saw
Speaker 1: is that they did a comprehensive search for sites and
Speaker 1: that's what they came up. But they also wanted to
Speaker 1: play in Florida because Aaron Rodgers was three and four
Speaker 1: in Florida history, Jacksonville was the one that was most
Speaker 1: expensive for flight travel costs for Green Bay fans to
Speaker 1: go to Florida. I love it all right, they'll tend
Speaker 1: to New York for the Giants. Uh Sa Kwan? Is
Speaker 1: he a trap? I think he might be. First off,
Speaker 1: we have no idea when he'll play Week one, is
Speaker 1: no guarantee when he returns. Does he get Bell cow usage?
Speaker 1: And according to Pro Football Focus, the Giants have the
Speaker 1: worst offensive line in the NFL. Can Daniel Jones keep defense?
Speaker 1: Is honest? Kenny Golladay is already gimpy. This is looking messy.
Speaker 1: But I might put my hat in my hand and
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about se Kwon later. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: go to the Tennessee Titan. Scott Ryan Tannehill put on
Speaker 1: the COVID list. However, he is vaccinated, so he just
Speaker 1: needs to clear two negative tests before he can come back.
Speaker 1: He's probably not in danger of missing meek one week one,
Speaker 1: but we'll see. Yeah, and it's a contact thing. He's
Speaker 1: not believed to have COVID for the Steelers. Minor injuries
Speaker 1: to James Washington and Chase Claypool or in the rear
Speaker 1: view mirror, and both of them should be playing Week one.
Speaker 1: Next up the Falcons. Matt Our own Brian Johnson predicts
Speaker 1: that Kyle Pitts will be an absolute force in the
Speaker 1: red zone this year, where Matt Ryan was one of
Speaker 1: six quarterbacks with at least eighty pass attempts and guys
Speaker 1: like Hayden Hurst, Russell Gauge, Brandon Powell, Lakwan Treadmill combined
Speaker 1: to score eleven touchdowns. Can you tell Brian wanted me
Speaker 1: to mention this for this show? Obviously he's He's a source.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Scott Chris Evans has won the third the third
Speaker 1: running back role there. There's a ton of buzz around him,
Speaker 1: and he's a better pass catcher than p Ryan. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't if I'm a mixing owner or not, I would
Speaker 1: look at him if there's anything that happens to mixing.
Speaker 1: Have zero shares a mixing. Next up San Francisco, Trey
Speaker 1: Lance chipped a bone in his finger. He's gonna miss
Speaker 1: a week of practice and he wasn't expected to start anyway,
Speaker 1: But the injury all but assures Garoppolo gets, if all,
Speaker 1: if not if the starting job and most likely all
Speaker 1: of the work in at least week one. The Niners
Speaker 1: have a very week schedule to start the year two.
Speaker 1: This could hang on for a really long time, and
Speaker 1: I think we're looking at ten weeks at least of
Speaker 1: Garoppolo for a moment. What did you think of that?
Speaker 1: Them splitting the first team running back and forth, Like, no,
Speaker 1: I hate that fantasy. That's the worst thing that could
Speaker 1: happen for fantasy. Well, kind of brilliant for a kind
Speaker 1: of from a football standpoint, Yes, from a fantasy standpoint,
Speaker 1: there's nothing we hait worse on the platooning quarterbacks. You
Speaker 1: never know less you're in one of those team quarterback leagues. Um,
Speaker 1: are there any of those left? I mean you have
Speaker 1: to be like in a big that's that's that way.
Speaker 1: Forty Niners is one other thing. Starting slot receiver from
Speaker 1: the Niners, Mohammed sanu Oh, Daddy mohammeds and Daddy Sr.
Speaker 1: Mohammed And I figured he was here was done, but
Speaker 1: not the case yet. Cardinals, Matt It's been a pretty
Speaker 1: quiet camp surrounding Kyler Murray. The Cards have already said though,
Speaker 1: that some injuries to Murray might have prevented him from
Speaker 1: throwing more last season. He handed up under the four
Speaker 1: thousand passing yards mark last year, but his rushing upside
Speaker 1: was amazing. But will they try to take the ball
Speaker 1: out of his hands a little bit more to get
Speaker 1: him throwing a little bit extra this year. That's yet
Speaker 1: to be seen. Next up, Jacksonville Scott. This this doesn't
Speaker 1: even feel worthy, but Jacob Hollister got signed for the Jags.
Speaker 1: But that tight end depth chart is terrible, so maybe
Speaker 1: there's not You're right. They also signed Tyrone Johnson from
Speaker 1: the Chargers. That's a note I guess for Brian. Apparently
Speaker 1: we're doing with this whole show is just about keeping
Speaker 1: Brian happy. We want to make sure Brian's happy. For
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Justice Hill return to practice after missing a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks with an ankle injury. He is battling
Speaker 1: Tyson Williams for the backup job behind Gus Edwards. Final
Speaker 1: couple of teams Chicago Matt Well Justin Fields is the
Speaker 1: story of camp, but we're gonna talk about him in
Speaker 1: the next segment. Here's a few facts about the Bears.
Speaker 1: Though they're the old team in the league. Okay, they
Speaker 1: have a rookie defensive coordinator. They faced the toughest quarterback
Speaker 1: schedule in the league. Their offensive line is one of
Speaker 1: the worst in the league, and Andy Dalton won't be
Speaker 1: able to hold that job very long because he's gonna
Speaker 1: be running and the negative game scripts are going to
Speaker 1: make Justin Fields have to come in very very soon.
Speaker 1: That offensive line looked so bad preseason. That's that is
Speaker 1: what I think is going to contribute heavily to Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton having to the demise, possible demise on the field,
Speaker 1: demise of Andy Dalton. Final team is the Los Angeles Chargers.
Speaker 1: They ended up waving both Tyrone Johnson and Joe Reid,
Speaker 1: really securing the roles for Josh Palmer in that in
Speaker 1: that offense is as the guy that will come in
Speaker 1: if there's an injury on the outside or maybe get
Speaker 1: some some snaps on the outside. Josh Kelly terrible preseason.
Speaker 1: Justin Jackson completely locked up that backup role. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: anybody if you drafted Kelly get out now that. I
Speaker 1: don't think there's gonna be any help coming that way.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll go through the trainee camp
Speaker 1: battle resolutions. Four weeks ago we identified all the training
Speaker 1: camp battles we were going to follow. We'll tell you
Speaker 1: the winners and losers of each one of those when
Speaker 1: we come back. Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back, Fantasy Football Weekly,
Speaker 1: Pault Charchie and Guillotine Leagues dot com. If you haven't
Speaker 1: tried a guillotine league, still time to get into a
Speaker 1: guillotine league. If you've got friends you want to play with,
Speaker 1: we can cover that at guillotine leagues dot com. Or
Speaker 1: maybe you want to just join a league with strangers.
Speaker 1: We've got guillote leagues at whatever prizing level you would
Speaker 1: like to play for. As you already know, the way
Speaker 1: the Guillotine League works is kind of special. A teen
Speaker 1: teams start the season. That's one team for every week
Speaker 1: of the year. Instead of head to head playing each week,
Speaker 1: the bottom team gets cut and their entire team goes
Speaker 1: to the waiver wire. We're pandemonium and sues. For the
Speaker 1: rest of us who are alive, all you have to
Speaker 1: do is not be worst. You don't have to have
Speaker 1: the best team, just don't finish last. The last team
Speaker 1: standing wins the whole thing. And one of the things
Speaker 1: that's nice about the Guillotine League is people are like,
Speaker 1: but charge, I don't have seventeen other friends. You can
Speaker 1: set them up for however big or small Guillotine League
Speaker 1: you want. That is correct. We support eight to eighteen
Speaker 1: size the gigs, and if you choose an eight or
Speaker 1: a nine, you can play it twice in the same
Speaker 1: Season's right you could. You know, if you get to
Speaker 1: go with the nine team Guillotine League, you'll have a
Speaker 1: winner after week eight. Redraft a little Guillotiny. Guillotini absolutely
Speaker 1: also available at GI We have Guillotine's. Four weeks ago
Speaker 1: we identified the training camp battles we were going to watch.
Speaker 1: Now let's go back and see who won and did
Speaker 1: the right team the right did the team get it right?
Speaker 1: We begin Scott with Buffalo wide receiver situation beyond Stefon Diggs.
Speaker 1: How about that? How about that third spot? So we
Speaker 1: had Gabriel Davis going against Manny Sanders. There Manny Sanders,
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders had all but won the battle. Then he
Speaker 1: got hurt. Uh and now they've split time since it
Speaker 1: still seems like Emmanuel Sanders has got the job. Here.
Speaker 1: In the last preseason game, he he worked both outside
Speaker 1: and in the slot. Gabe played Eggs exclusively from the outside,
Speaker 1: but Gabe did way better catching every single pass throwing
Speaker 1: his way on the score. So I think the battle
Speaker 1: is still going on. Thirty four year old Manny Sanders
Speaker 1: won't give it up yet. I think you and I
Speaker 1: I know we want we want Gabriel Davis. It is
Speaker 1: this is we're very much typical fantasy players. We want
Speaker 1: the new guy, the young blood, you know, that's that's
Speaker 1: always got a lot more appeal than the older players
Speaker 1: generally do. But this thing could be murkier than we
Speaker 1: want to think. Unfortunately. All right, Matt, let's go to
Speaker 1: the Chicago quarterback situation. Yeah, it was Andy versus Justin Fields,
Speaker 1: and it's Dalton. For now, they're probably starting the wrong quarterback,
Speaker 1: but how long will it? Last? Week one, they get
Speaker 1: the Rams and that scary defense. Week to the Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton revenge game against Cincinnati. That's kind of fun. Week
Speaker 1: three at Cleveland that's a really good defense. And then
Speaker 1: Week four is Detroit and that might be the place
Speaker 1: that they want to start Justin Fields. So I think
Speaker 1: he's still worth rostering in redraft leagues where you're looking
Speaker 1: for some QB upside. But if it goes further than
Speaker 1: week four, might be a little Field starts no later
Speaker 1: than weeks I think we're pretty much that. I think
Speaker 1: he's going too late given the rushing upside that he brings.
Speaker 1: And if they if they announced today that Justin Fields
Speaker 1: was gonna start like week two, he would jump up
Speaker 1: three rounds easily. And he's probably he starts by week two,
Speaker 1: and if not two, I think forward your point is
Speaker 1: to throw him on your bench, leave him there. Let's
Speaker 1: go to New England. We know who won the quarterback
Speaker 1: job there, we do U. New England did did what
Speaker 1: the Bears apparently were too scared to do and got
Speaker 1: their rookie in there to start. Not much. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's good for the passing game, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: good for John Who, it's good for the running game.
Speaker 1: It's good for Harris, you know, because he's gonna get goal.
Speaker 1: I know what it looks that Newton took. But what
Speaker 1: I want to mention is mac Jones went from plus
Speaker 1: one thousand to win Rookie of the Year to the
Speaker 1: favorite just by that announcement. Unbelievable. I know people who
Speaker 1: got that plus one thousand two. Really, Yeah, that's good,
Speaker 1: that's good money. Uh they've got I like that they've
Speaker 1: settled on a quarterback who can pass on like Cam Newton.
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about that New England situation in Cam
Speaker 1: Newton's depart your next segment. The New Orleans UH quarterback situation,
Speaker 1: Matt Jamis Winston versus Taysom Hill. I thought it was
Speaker 1: gonna be Hill at the beginning of the preseason, but
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston wanted because he can pass, because he can
Speaker 1: end the day, your quarterback has to be able to pass.
Speaker 1: That's true. But this whole battle has a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of stink on it, and I just don't like it.
Speaker 1: First off, Taysom Hill will not just sit on the
Speaker 1: bench all game. He will be in as maybe a
Speaker 1: goal line quarterback, weird gadget player. How much will he
Speaker 1: take away from Winston? And that's not good Without bruised
Speaker 1: and broken Michael Thomas, it feels like they're at an
Speaker 1: all time low on skill players. Connection between Winston and
Speaker 1: Marquez Callaway with something to behold in the preseason, but
Speaker 1: I'm nervous about the Saints having to spend their first
Speaker 1: month away from home. That's not ideal either. No, that
Speaker 1: part is is worrisome. Scott. Let's go to the Denver
Speaker 1: quarterback situation where I think they got it raw. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: Teddy has this quarterback job on Lock one point oh one, Dad,
Speaker 1: that's what you are a lot of I I do
Speaker 1: agree with you. I think Lock would have been better
Speaker 1: for fantasy just because his upside is unreal. But we
Speaker 1: we do have to remember that a quarter uck can
Speaker 1: be pretty average and support wide receivers. Last year, Teddy
Speaker 1: for the Carolina Panthers had three top thirty wide receivers
Speaker 1: in both points per game and total fantasy points over
Speaker 1: the course of the but they were all about I
Speaker 1: heard something. I heard a really good stat from Warren
Speaker 1: Sharp that Bridgewater faced the toughest passing defense schedule in
Speaker 1: the league last year in Carolina and he faces the
Speaker 1: easiest schedule this year. And I did see that it
Speaker 1: was the easiest. Um But but that statement of a
Speaker 1: QB doesn't that, you know, can be a weak fantasy
Speaker 1: asset and support a bunch of options. Looking at you,
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberg, one UH San Francisco's quarterback situation, Matt, We've
Speaker 1: alluded to it last second. Yeah, it's Jimmy Garoppolo versus
Speaker 1: Trey Lance, and Jimmy has it for now. Uh. Of course,
Speaker 1: Chart mentioned that Lance ended up with the fingertip injury,
Speaker 1: which means he's going to sit out for a week
Speaker 1: or so. I do expect him to suit up as
Speaker 1: the backup in Week one, but Lance was equally as
Speaker 1: tantalizing and predictably unpredictable for a guy with his pedigree
Speaker 1: in preseason action. The more I watched a Lance, I
Speaker 1: think he'll certainly be the last of the rookie quarterbacks
Speaker 1: we see, and this one might extend a lot later
Speaker 1: into the season before he starts. Then all of us
Speaker 1: want to admit the Denver running back situation, we don't
Speaker 1: have a lot of clarity here. We don't know. There's
Speaker 1: not a lot of clarity. Uh. The b reporters think
Speaker 1: it's Melvin, but he is Melvin Gordon, but he is
Speaker 1: the one that actually played in the final preseason game
Speaker 1: and they held Javonte out. Part of it could because
Speaker 1: you know, Melvin Gordon's coming back from that injury, maybe
Speaker 1: kick a little more rust off, you know, while he's
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get back, or they didn't or
Speaker 1: they wanted to protect their lead runners. I think that's it.
Speaker 1: That's the scenario I watched. I had originally thought they
Speaker 1: were trying to showcase him for a trade to one
Speaker 1: of these very running back needy teams. But you know
Speaker 1: they got they got Rhoda Roy would be an interesting
Speaker 1: move with Melvin Gordon ended up in maybe Baltimore Baltimore
Speaker 1: or with the Rams or on behalf of all Gus
Speaker 1: Edwards owners. You shush up about that. We're going through
Speaker 1: the training camp battle resolutions. We outlined a month ago
Speaker 1: the ones we were gonna watch. Now we're going through
Speaker 1: the final set of winners and losers. The Arizona running
Speaker 1: back situation. Yeah, Edmonds versus Connor, I cannot call a winner.
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's there's no winner to be called. It's
Speaker 1: a tie. Chase Edmonds is the top of the depth chart,
Speaker 1: but will he be the guy at the goal line.
Speaker 1: He has one career carry inside the five yard line.
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake now in Vegas had twenty two inside the five,
Speaker 1: so Edmonds clearly was not trusted there, and over the
Speaker 1: last three seasons with Pittsburgh James Conner total twenty nine
Speaker 1: carries inside the five and scored sixteen touchdowns, which is
Speaker 1: a pretty good success rate. He's healthy for now and
Speaker 1: if he ends up as the goal line guy, he's
Speaker 1: probably the running back you want more in Arizona. Alright,
Speaker 1: our final training camp battle resolution is among the Chargers
Speaker 1: wide receivers, and this one came down to the wire
Speaker 1: that did Tyrone Johnson got released, So it became between
Speaker 1: Josh Palmer, who that has has splashed in the in
Speaker 1: the training camp and UH in the preseason. Here UH
Speaker 1: and Guitan. It looks like Guyton is going to be
Speaker 1: the slot backup and Palmer is going to be the
Speaker 1: outside backup. That's basically how it's come down too. I
Speaker 1: think you're right. Guyten played almost entirely slot last year
Speaker 1: and so he'll back up largely Keenan Outen, who runs
Speaker 1: a lot from the slot. So I believe that that
Speaker 1: is exactly how that part will work out when we
Speaker 1: come back. It's a game we like to call three
Speaker 1: tough questions. You can play along see if you can
Speaker 1: go three and oh with our panel of experts, as
Speaker 1: I pepper them with three mind bending questions sure to
Speaker 1: shatter the confidence of my co host. Stay tuned to
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly, Pulp Charching
Speaker 1: with you, Scott Fish and Matt Harrison. You can download
Speaker 1: my personal cheat sheet for free at Guillotine leagues dot com.
Speaker 1: This is a segment we call three tough questions. Tough
Speaker 1: question number one, with the unfortunate end to j K
Speaker 1: dobbins season, how many touchdowns will Gus Edwards score this
Speaker 1: year A less than ten B ten to fourteen or
Speaker 1: see fifteen or more. We begin with Scott Fish. I
Speaker 1: could take the easy route and say he had seven
Speaker 1: last year as the backup to Jake Dobbins in most
Speaker 1: of those games. If you flip that, you and j
Speaker 1: K Dobbins had nine. So if you flip that, he's
Speaker 1: he's already close. But in the last three years, the
Speaker 1: Ravens had nineteen Russian touch jowns, twenty one rushing touchdowns,
Speaker 1: and twenty four rushing touchdowns. They've said emphatically they want
Speaker 1: to pass more, but they're receiving options like they're all
Speaker 1: they're they're all hurt at the moment. If we expect
Speaker 1: them to be as run heavy, maybe right in the
Speaker 1: middle of all that we're talking like, twenty one is
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns. Lamar historically takes seven of those, usually about
Speaker 1: a third. So we're left, you know, in that fourteen
Speaker 1: fifteen range is where the rushing touchdowns should be. Who's
Speaker 1: gonna take them? Tyson Williams, Royce Freeman, they couldn't get
Speaker 1: off waivers. Um I think I got him in the
Speaker 1: ten to fourteen range. Fifteen plus would mean that they
Speaker 1: run much much more, and that you know, Lamar tampers
Speaker 1: down his rushing I don't think that's gonna happen. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty I'm pretty sold on ten to fourteen here, okay, Matt,
Speaker 1: with j K Dobbins season ending, how many touchdowns will
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards have a less than ten? B ten to
Speaker 1: fourteen or see fifteen or more touchdowns? And a little
Speaker 1: bit disappointed that you and I did get to have
Speaker 1: this battle all year with Dobbins and Gus Edwards just
Speaker 1: because all Edwards and it just ended, and it's like
Speaker 1: at their prices, my balloon is all deflated. Technically I
Speaker 1: won Yeah, do that do that touchdown dance over there?
Speaker 1: Chart on JK Dobbins getting hurt. I guess. First off,
Speaker 1: the ten rushing touchdown threshold is really tough to hit.
Speaker 1: Last year only eight running backs did it, the year
Speaker 1: before only seven running backs did it, and the year
Speaker 1: before that only six running backs did it. It is
Speaker 1: worth noting that JK. Dobbins did have nine rushing scores
Speaker 1: last year. Gus had six from from running the ball
Speaker 1: on one from receiving. In mark Ingram was one of
Speaker 1: those guys who hit that ten mark with ten, and
Speaker 1: Alex Collins led the running backs with seven the year before,
Speaker 1: but he wasn't very good at all. So this offense
Speaker 1: has a history of success for the running back, especially
Speaker 1: with rushing touchdowns. Maybe not overall success all the time
Speaker 1: with the yardage, but touchdowns they usually do accomplish that feat.
Speaker 1: And that's one of the reasons I liked Dobbin so much.
Speaker 1: So I will go tail between my legs and say
Speaker 1: be ten to fourteen on Gus Edwards. I think he'll.
Speaker 1: I think I'm a bit surprised that he's gonna do it,
Speaker 1: but I think he will. Last year, the Ravens ran
Speaker 1: the ball twenty six times from inside the five yard line.
Speaker 1: Only three of those runs were by Lamar Jackson. We
Speaker 1: touched on this last week. People think Lamar Jackson steals
Speaker 1: goal line runs. He's not Cam Newton. If the Ravens
Speaker 1: Runners are going to get the same twenty three carries
Speaker 1: from inside the five, Gus is going to get almost
Speaker 1: all of those probably, And if he gets almost all
Speaker 1: of twenty three carries, we're at ten right there, a
Speaker 1: minimum of ten right there for Gus Edwards. So if
Speaker 1: he's got ten just from inside the five, last year,
Speaker 1: half of his total touchdown number came from outside the
Speaker 1: five yard line. So if you take the tenco now,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get another ten. No, not doubling it. Half
Speaker 1: his touchdowns, Half his touchdowns came from outside. So if
Speaker 1: he's got ten from inside, half came from outside. While
Speaker 1: we're talking about this is how he easily gets to fifteen.
Speaker 1: If he has ten up close touchdowns we were talking,
Speaker 1: fifteen is easy for Gus Edwards, easy to get. But
Speaker 1: you're calling twenty, calling twenty. But I'll tell you what's
Speaker 1: the right answer. Is c going, He's going he's getting
Speaker 1: hit fifteen or more touchdown Where this line with a
Speaker 1: personally to question number two, Cam Newton vacates twenty two
Speaker 1: carries inside the five yard line for New England totally
Speaker 1: out of the picture. Now, how many touchdowns will Daman
Speaker 1: Harris score this year? Same bit, less than ten, ten
Speaker 1: to fourteen or fifteen or more. We begin this time
Speaker 1: with Matt Harrison. Harry enters his third year in the league.
Speaker 1: In his rookie season as a third round pick out
Speaker 1: of Alabama, Harris played in exactly one game, and last
Speaker 1: year Harris averaged about fourteen rushing attempts per game. Uh,
Speaker 1: splitting some time with Sony and and a seating all
Speaker 1: goal line work to Cam. But when it became clear
Speaker 1: that the Pats were out of the playoff picture, Harris
Speaker 1: was put on the shelf in wrapping paper and they said,
Speaker 1: now you don't need to play anymore. We got you.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take the mileage off of you. Uh. Ramandre
Speaker 1: Stevenson is a consideration near the stripe, as he's been
Speaker 1: good in that role in the preseason. But when the
Speaker 1: game's count, I think Stevenson is inactive more often than not.
Speaker 1: As a rookie runner in that offense, I think Harris
Speaker 1: goes for ten to fourteen touchdowns as well. All right,
Speaker 1: Scott with Cam Newton gone. And remember, by the way,
Speaker 1: at this time last week, before Cam Newton a big cut,
Speaker 1: we were worried that they would bring Cam in off
Speaker 1: the bed, you know, we were like, mac Jones is
Speaker 1: way better path, He's gonna win, but we'll bring in
Speaker 1: Cam off the bench and end up putting Cam in
Speaker 1: in situationally in at the goal line. We don't have
Speaker 1: to worry about that anymore, which is fantastic. So how
Speaker 1: many touchdowns will Damian Harris score this year? Less than ten,
Speaker 1: ten to fourteen or fifteen or more so, only twice
Speaker 1: in the last twenty years have Pats had two similar
Speaker 1: big backs. And we're gonna talk about you know, Romandre
Speaker 1: Stephenson and Damien Harris here, uh, you know, doing this
Speaker 1: kind of work. And both times both running backs scored
Speaker 1: six plus touchdowns Dylan and Moroney and Ridley and brlunt Um,
Speaker 1: which generally bodes well. But also if you look at
Speaker 1: that twenty year history of Belichick, he does not let
Speaker 1: rookies jump into the goal line role. He just doesn't.
Speaker 1: The law firm Ben Jarvis green Ellis had a great
Speaker 1: preseason with rushing touchdowns, did not get it in the
Speaker 1: regular season. His rookie year, same with Jonas Gray and
Speaker 1: other big backs that they've had. Um Stevenson also fumbled
Speaker 1: one on the goal line that got called back. That
Speaker 1: that means he's he's going to absolutely sit all year. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: the senses Belichick isn't super likely to trust Stevenson. There
Speaker 1: might even trust James Whitemore there. Uh maybe, Hey, he
Speaker 1: scored three rushing touchdowns in the Super Bowl. Come on,
Speaker 1: but I'm going to go with the tender fourteen just
Speaker 1: because I think Stevenson will get some but not as
Speaker 1: much as some people might want to think. All right,
Speaker 1: let's start with the math and begin Actually, I want
Speaker 1: to start by attacking the naysayers who say they will
Speaker 1: never draft a Bill Bell. Did you want one of
Speaker 1: us to be the naysayers? Get you, guys, nobody's name.
Speaker 1: We're not naying we're not horses. Where's our horse noise?
Speaker 1: Where's our horses? I have no naysayers in this group.
Speaker 1: The Garrett Blunt were three seasons removed from the Garrett
Speaker 1: Blunt leading the NFL in touchdowns eighteen, almost all of
Speaker 1: them up close. Dion Lewis the second. Over the past
Speaker 1: five years, no team has more carries inside the five
Speaker 1: yard line than Bill Belichick's Patriots, and that was with
Speaker 1: Tom Brady on roster, and they still ran the ball
Speaker 1: at the stripe more than any other team. Over the
Speaker 1: past five years, no team has scored more rushing touchdowns
Speaker 1: from inside the five yard line than the Patriots. Do
Speaker 1: you really not want any part of that just because
Speaker 1: it's Belichick? You do so again? Over the last five years,
Speaker 1: Patriots averaging averaging thirty two carries from inside the five.
Speaker 1: That's a staggering number and again the most in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Damien Harris for the reason Scott and you both actually outlined,
Speaker 1: Damian Harris is going to get most of that work.
Speaker 1: Can I agree that Ramandri Stevenson as a rookie is
Speaker 1: not likely to get Belichick's trust Here? If you're about
Speaker 1: to say fifteen plus for Damian Harrison, can I parlay that? So? Okay? Well,
Speaker 1: you tell me thirty two carries. Let's as sue him.
Speaker 1: If that's the average for the Patriots from inside the five,
Speaker 1: you guys know that your your level of expectation is
Speaker 1: around fifty conversion of the thirty two carries into touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Give me the range from just the inside. The five
Speaker 1: touchdowns for Damien Harrison, Oh, he'll obviously score at least
Speaker 1: sixteen at least. I think we already gave you our
Speaker 1: So let's say he's not as efficient as we'd like,
Speaker 1: and he's only at about one third efficiency here, and
Speaker 1: it's only ten touchdowns on these touch on these goal
Speaker 1: line runs for Damien Harris, he's gonna score some from distance, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, if he's got ten touchdowns up close, and
Speaker 1: he's gonna get five over seventeen games, right, So that
Speaker 1: brings you to fifteen touchdowns he catches maybe one, maybe
Speaker 1: one six the correct answer for Damian Harris. Also over
Speaker 1: by the way, Gus Edwards and Dame mean Harris still
Speaker 1: being drafted in the fourth round. Fantasy owners are slow
Speaker 1: to react to this news. Neither one of them catches
Speaker 1: very well, and I think PPR leagues have suppressed their
Speaker 1: value a little bit tough. Question Number three, Jamar Chase
Speaker 1: dropped four of his five targets during his preseason games.
Speaker 1: What is the appropriate level of concern for the Bengals
Speaker 1: rookie receiver? Is it none, some, or a bowl loosening
Speaker 1: level of existential dread? Scott, I'm gonna with some here,
Speaker 1: mostly because of his sixty two overall ADP, which is
Speaker 1: just it's really high for a guy that's looking more
Speaker 1: and more like he's going to be the third receiver
Speaker 1: on his team, and uh, he's actually going ahead of
Speaker 1: the other ones. Uh. Tee Higgins been going around later.
Speaker 1: He hasn't played football in twenty months. I mentioned this
Speaker 1: last week. He just hasn't played football in twenty months.
Speaker 1: He needs needs to kick some rust off. But the
Speaker 1: worst thing is Tee Higgins. Uh played a full year
Speaker 1: last year with you know, ten games with Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1: He played Joe Barrow, played with you know, Oddent Tate,
Speaker 1: he played with Tyler Boyd. He's comfortable with them from
Speaker 1: that year. He's a year removed from playing with Chase.
Speaker 1: And if Chase comes in in week one and makes
Speaker 1: those drops, how long before Burrow stops trusting that trusts
Speaker 1: what he had last year? So some some I think
Speaker 1: he saw I think he's talented enough that he's gonna
Speaker 1: turn it around eventually. But it's some for now, alright,
Speaker 1: Matt Jamaar. Chase has dropped forward his five targets during
Speaker 1: his preseason games. The appropriate level of concern is none,
Speaker 1: some or a bowl loosening level of existential dread, as
Speaker 1: the band Cake once said, bowl shaking earthquakes of doubt
Speaker 1: and remorse. That's what you'll get if you draft Jamar
Speaker 1: Chase this year. Um I mentioned on an earlier show
Speaker 1: this preseason that the Bengals offensive line is absolutely terrible.
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is gonna need to get rid of the
Speaker 1: ball quickly if he hopes to avoid another knee injury.
Speaker 1: They already got the two good wide receivers that Scott mentioned,
Speaker 1: and I'm nervous that the Bengals won't be able to
Speaker 1: run three wide receiver sets because they're going to need
Speaker 1: to keep tight ends or maybe a fullback into block
Speaker 1: for Joe Burrow. If the third wide receiver is not
Speaker 1: on the field and Chase continues to have the drops these,
Speaker 1: he's going to be the odd man out here. So
Speaker 1: you're going with levels of existential dread. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: like that we said that together. It was very special
Speaker 1: considering where he's been taken and being taken and his
Speaker 1: average draft position is wide receiver thirty two, which puts
Speaker 1: him you know, there are thirty two teams in the NFL,
Speaker 1: so people are drafting him like he's one of the
Speaker 1: one of the eight team's best starting receiver considering where
Speaker 1: he's being taken both Dynasty and Empire leagues and re draft.
Speaker 1: You should have B L L E. D. Joe Burrows
Speaker 1: in Covecient training camp is a worry. You've got the
Speaker 1: bad offensive line. And I thought your point Matt on
Speaker 1: the him on them needing to bring in tight ends
Speaker 1: to block. I think it's extremely valid. Um the missed
Speaker 1: year last season, which which Scott outlined, totally valid as well.
Speaker 1: And then you guys both in on Tee Higgins and
Speaker 1: Tyler Board are really good and established. Those guys aren't
Speaker 1: going anywhere. The guy who is Jamaar Chase, that is
Speaker 1: a concern. All right, let's go. I've got a bonus
Speaker 1: question for you. Do I happen once upon a time
Speaker 1: I had I had a had a tough question. I
Speaker 1: had a tough question number four on my tough question
Speaker 1: number Thank you very much. Which wide receiver should be?
Speaker 1: Wide receiver one? Davante Adams or Tyree Hill Give me
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds, uh, Davante Adams for me. I think Rogers
Speaker 1: is just gonna go all revenge mode this year and
Speaker 1: just want to prove light the light everything up on fire. Matt, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree, Adams. He's a goal line wide receiver. He's
Speaker 1: he's there inside the five, guy Tyree Hill, because when
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes takes those extra two steps and he unleashes
Speaker 1: a laser fifty yards down field and it's at its apex,
Speaker 1: you are jumping out of your sofa because you know
Speaker 1: the most exciting player in the NFL is getting under
Speaker 1: that ball. There's no wrong answer here, but you get
Speaker 1: my tyree. You can just get tingly when you watch
Speaker 1: the Chiefs play. Who doesn't As a matter of fact.
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly, Our number two continues in moments our
Speaker 1: number two Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul charging from
Speaker 1: guillotine at leagues dot com. Scott Fish and Matt Harrison
Speaker 1: Shocked Fantasy with you as well, gentlemen. One of the
Speaker 1: conundrums that every fantasy owner has what to do when
Speaker 1: you like a player at a position and there's another
Speaker 1: good player, same position, same team. We play this game
Speaker 1: every preseason. I'm gonna give you two players, well usually
Speaker 1: too in some cases three at the same position on
Speaker 1: the same team, and tell me given the average draft position,
Speaker 1: the round you'd have to take him in, who would
Speaker 1: you rather have? We begin with Seattle, would you rather
Speaker 1: have Dk met calfine round two or Tyler Lockett in
Speaker 1: round five? Scott, I will go to you first, apparently
Speaker 1: very anxious to cover this. I don't need to go
Speaker 1: on on this. It's just DK metcalf He he puts
Speaker 1: up numbers nearly every week. He had a few dogs
Speaker 1: last year, But Tyler Lockett is a guy that you're
Speaker 1: getting three to four weeks. We've detailed this. He only
Speaker 1: had four games over seven yards last year. He had
Speaker 1: eight of his ten touchdounks coming three weeks. He had
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the stats the week. And that's not
Speaker 1: just last year, it's it's it's a couple of years
Speaker 1: round and the year before nearly fifty percent of his
Speaker 1: stats came in in four games. He's had twenty eight
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the last three years that have boosted him
Speaker 1: up and made fantasy owners think that he's amazing. What
Speaker 1: if that regresses, You've got nothing? That was a very
Speaker 1: succinct response, Matt, do you have anything you want to
Speaker 1: add to that? Um? Yeah, Normally it is like the
Speaker 1: guy who's later in this one. But I have a
Speaker 1: few that are are the guy ahead in the draft.
Speaker 1: I have dk Metcalf as well. Um. I put our
Speaker 1: locket on my list of players that I wouldn't draft
Speaker 1: last week, so I can't like say I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: him now, of course not. I had to stick up
Speaker 1: for what I said before. We're all it's three. It's
Speaker 1: three to zero. We all agree we'd rather have dk
Speaker 1: Metcalf in the second round. Next set of teammates. Would
Speaker 1: you rather have Detroit running back DeAndre Swift in round
Speaker 1: three or Jamal Williams in round eight? This time we
Speaker 1: start with Matt. Does anybody want to take me up
Speaker 1: on that burrito bet the Williams outscores DeAndre Swift? Yes, Oh,
Speaker 1: I think I think. I think Williams is going to
Speaker 1: outscore d Swift. Take I not for that, but I'll
Speaker 1: come up with because Scott doesn't like burritos. That's insane. Anyway,
Speaker 1: let's hear your justification. Well, I think I think that
Speaker 1: he's more healthy. He's He's a guy who can be
Speaker 1: a pass catcher and a runner. Um And I'm just
Speaker 1: worried about Swift's durability. Round three is way too early
Speaker 1: for me to draft DeAndre Swift with a guy I
Speaker 1: have a lot of red flags on, and Jamal Williams
Speaker 1: is in round eight. That's that's where you start throwing
Speaker 1: darts like that, Okay, Scott, Yeah, I knew you'd take
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams, especially after you took him as your sleeper
Speaker 1: last week. So I I immediately decided to go with
Speaker 1: the other right, just not not because I totally disagree.
Speaker 1: I actually like that as as a nice sleeper pick.
Speaker 1: I'm taking Swift because he's still an early second round
Speaker 1: pick that in limited touches last year still scored ten touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Only had a hundred and sixty touches and he scored
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns. Um, it's it's gonna be an okay offense.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be behind a lot, and he's the past
Speaker 1: catching back. Dan Campbell has compared him to the Kamara role,
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn has compared him to the Ela role. Uh so,
Speaker 1: if he takes on any of that, and there's a
Speaker 1: very long history of running backs to get a hundred
Speaker 1: fifty plus rush attempts and fifty catches, which he's very
Speaker 1: capable of of landing as a top twelve running back.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna take that. I will say there's
Speaker 1: a concern that you know, they've also made statements about
Speaker 1: going hot hand. But I'll take Swift. I'll take Swift
Speaker 1: in that upside. I will take Jamal Williams in this one.
Speaker 1: But I worry. I do think Swift is going to
Speaker 1: be the better back. And I'm taking your bet Williams
Speaker 1: is gonna outscore. Yes, Swift, But but you don't Swift
Speaker 1: awfully good place tag. I very much agree with the
Speaker 1: price tag. All right, but you still picked Swift yep. Okay.
Speaker 1: Next is Minnesota wide receivers Justin Jefferson Round two or
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling Round five. This one we start with Scott.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with Jefferson. I think he's got every possibility,
Speaker 1: especially with Earth going out and with the other past
Speaker 1: catching options there, of just becoming a true number one alpha.
Speaker 1: If he ends the season as the number one wide
Speaker 1: receiver in fantasy, I would not be shocked, and I
Speaker 1: I love having a guy like that on my team.
Speaker 1: I don't I think the Theeling regression is not going
Speaker 1: to happen like people think. Maybe the touchdowns aren't fourteen again,
Speaker 1: but he's had seven, six, nine, etcetera. In recent years.
Speaker 1: I think he gets a decent amount of touchdowns and
Speaker 1: he's gonna get a lot of targets. I just rather
Speaker 1: have that potential wide receiver one on my team, all right, Matt,
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson round two or Adam Celan round five. In Bestball,
Speaker 1: I ended up with twenty five percent of Adam Thelan
Speaker 1: and ten percent of Justin Jefferson. So I'm gonna put
Speaker 1: my money where my mouth is. Delan is my answer. Yes,
Speaker 1: he's older. Yes, there's a little bit of injury stuff
Speaker 1: that's happening with him right now. But when he's on
Speaker 1: the field, he's as consistent as they get in the league.
Speaker 1: Kirk loves him, especially in the red zone, and the
Speaker 1: Vikings have no one else to throw to. Also a
Speaker 1: baby narrative, his first baby, second baby had a fourteen
Speaker 1: touchdown season. He's got another one coming this I didn't
Speaker 1: know that he's expecting. That's very important. Um. I think
Speaker 1: you guys had and all the keys the salient stuff here.
Speaker 1: Why feeling remains and I like Jeffrey. I don't have
Speaker 1: any problem with Jeffer, but theland round five is stealing. Yes,
Speaker 1: as you mentioned the end the goal line propensities. He
Speaker 1: scored seven touchdowns on eight targets from inside the five
Speaker 1: last year. That is remarkable for Adam Feeling. Next in Cleveland,
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb in round one or Kareem Hunt in round five.
Speaker 1: Matt one of these running backs has RB one overall upside,
Speaker 1: the other one has maybe RB twelve overall upside. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Chub on this one because he's
Speaker 1: one of the best running backs in football. Pro Football
Speaker 1: folk US has great at him as such the last
Speaker 1: couple of years, and I think that there's a possibility
Speaker 1: that we could see the workload steer much towards his
Speaker 1: direction if he's completely healthy this season, and we might
Speaker 1: see Chubb kind of kind of teetering on the two
Speaker 1: thirds to one third share over Kareem Hunt. Okay, Scott,
Speaker 1: you kind of said almost exactly what I was gonna say. Um,
Speaker 1: Chubb had over a hundred yards and or scored in
Speaker 1: all but one complete game he played last year. I
Speaker 1: really want that on my fantasy team. I understand that
Speaker 1: when he plays in games with Hunt. In his games
Speaker 1: with Hunt, he averages one point three five receptions, which
Speaker 1: is not good. But one of the things that constantly
Speaker 1: gets talked about is Hunt could be a RB one
Speaker 1: if Chubb. If Chubb, Hunt could be an RB one
Speaker 1: if Chubb goes out, well, if Hunt goes out, Chubb
Speaker 1: is just kind of Actually, I don't think they would
Speaker 1: even that. I don't think they would give him twenty
Speaker 1: two carries. I think you'd see a lot of dearness
Speaker 1: Johnson for a while, he was gene over twenty touches. Though,
Speaker 1: so even with Hunt on the team. Worth noting that
Speaker 1: Scott has taken the early guy in each one of
Speaker 1: these battles so far. After yes, complete lies, I tease
Speaker 1: the listeners, I also would take Nick Chubb in round one.
Speaker 1: Next up Scott, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin or Antonio Brown.
Speaker 1: Evans is going in the fourth, Godwin the fifth, and
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown the seventh. Yeah, the string the streek ends here,
Speaker 1: the streeke ends here. Uh, this one's actually pretty easy
Speaker 1: for me. It's Antonio Brown for me. He led in
Speaker 1: target share attend this season. In fact, he led the
Speaker 1: led the team and targets four of the last six games.
Speaker 1: Once he got acclimated and was on that team another
Speaker 1: full offseason to work with Brady and get that down um.
Speaker 1: Evans numbers declined quite a bit last year and he
Speaker 1: barely crossed that thousand yard threshold that he crosses every
Speaker 1: single year. I do think Godwin is a great fit
Speaker 1: for Brady. I actually really love Godwin with Brady, but
Speaker 1: that three to four, three or so round difference is
Speaker 1: enough for me to say I'll take Antonio Brown is
Speaker 1: my wide receiver three on most of my teams, all right?
Speaker 1: Which was the Bucks wide receivers? Matt would you take?
Speaker 1: Is it Mike Evans in round four, Chris Godwin around five,
Speaker 1: or Antonio Brown and round seven? H Scott stole my
Speaker 1: thunder on Mike Evans. I think that his downside is
Speaker 1: definitely there. I took Chris Godwin though, because we're one
Speaker 1: year removed from Godwin being the number two overall wide
Speaker 1: receiver in fantasy. He's in a contract year again on
Speaker 1: the franchise tag. He did miss some time last year
Speaker 1: with injury. He was danked up and playing hurt a lot,
Speaker 1: and plus Antonio Brown is a psycho and we'll get
Speaker 1: kicked out of some games at some point this year,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to have to deal with that
Speaker 1: at all. On my team, I have Chris Godwin as well. Alright,
Speaker 1: couple more teammates that were going through. Which would you
Speaker 1: rather choose Matt If among the new England running backs?
Speaker 1: Would you rather have Damian Harrison round five, Romandre Stevenson
Speaker 1: around eleven, or James White in round twelve? I have hair.
Speaker 1: I remember drafts back in June where I was getting
Speaker 1: Harrison like the eighth or ninth round, and that was
Speaker 1: so much fun. With Cam out of the way. We
Speaker 1: we talked about it. Harris has a shot to just
Speaker 1: be a true bell cow runners. I understand he fifteen
Speaker 1: touchdown upside. I don't know it could be twenty. Scott,
Speaker 1: do you feel any differently? Yeah, it's not close. We
Speaker 1: have a rookie and tiny pass catchers behind him. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go to San Francisco Deonte Johnson in round four.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's not San Francisco. This is Pittsburgh. Deonte
Speaker 1: Johnson in round four or Chase clay Pool in round five,
Speaker 1: teammates ranked very near each other. Scott, I hate you
Speaker 1: making me do this because you guys know how much
Speaker 1: I love Chase claypoo I know you do. I think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Deonta Johnson because there's a lot
Speaker 1: of great players still in that fifth round. Um we
Speaker 1: just talked about one, Chris Godwin. But Deonte Johnson going
Speaker 1: in the fourth. He's just an insane target hog. He
Speaker 1: doesn't get a tony yards with it, but maybe that
Speaker 1: comes along. If you watch drives with Ben Bent, Ben
Speaker 1: looks at him the entire time, the entire drive down
Speaker 1: the field. Um so if Ben throws short a lot nowadays,
Speaker 1: So that's where Deontay lives. All right? Do you feel
Speaker 1: any differently, Matt, I do. I have Chase Claypool. Both
Speaker 1: these guys are super talented, but Claypool a little bit
Speaker 1: more versatile. He ran in two scores last year to
Speaker 1: go along with his nine rushing receiving touchdowns. Plus there's
Speaker 1: some drop issues for Deonta in the past. So I'm
Speaker 1: going to take the guy around later and take Chase Claypool. Here.
Speaker 1: I Chase Claypool. If he gets a lot better in
Speaker 1: year two, which many receivers do, right, you can make
Speaker 1: could be he could he could make a dk metcalf jump.
Speaker 1: This he is potentially sitting on a very very good season.
Speaker 1: But I'm picking Deonta Johnson because I like receivers would
Speaker 1: get the ball in their hands a lot, and Chase
Speaker 1: Claypool when he does not score, scores a lot and
Speaker 1: he does not score doesn't help you as much. And
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I want receivers who've
Speaker 1: got the ball in their hands. At the end of
Speaker 1: the day, you want receivers to score touchdowns. Six of
Speaker 1: those ten came in two games, like so, that's that's
Speaker 1: that's a great point. That's a great point. All right, Matt,
Speaker 1: Which of the Las Vegas running backs would you prefer
Speaker 1: to have? Josh Jacobs or Kenyan Drake? Uh? It's uh
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs for me in round three over Drake in
Speaker 1: round nine. I've never been a believer in Drake. He's
Speaker 1: just a guy. He's just been a guy, and he's
Speaker 1: had a lot of rushing rushing touchdowns near the stripe
Speaker 1: for for Arizona in the past. So I just think
Speaker 1: Drake's just a guy. I'll go Josh Jacobs. Okay, I
Speaker 1: don't want either, but yeah, I don't really either. If
Speaker 1: I have to choose, I'm choosing Drake only because I
Speaker 1: like so many more things in that third round. It's
Speaker 1: not even a Jacob's or Drake think, it's just what's
Speaker 1: available in the third. Also, I'm seeing Jacobs start to
Speaker 1: fall into the fourth a little bit too. People are
Speaker 1: a little depressed on him. Well do you think they're
Speaker 1: depressed on Josh? Now wait till the season starts, and
Speaker 1: that's Kenyan Drake. I'm taking him because he's a round nine.
Speaker 1: That's that's that's the beauty of it. I don't want
Speaker 1: anything to do with Josh Jacobs, and you don't really
Speaker 1: want anything to do with Kenyan Drake, but under your
Speaker 1: head situations. But that's six the exact page worthy, exact
Speaker 1: page alright, final one Denver's wide receivers Jerry Judy in
Speaker 1: round six or Courtland Sutton and round eight Scott Man.
Speaker 1: So I was really optimistic, and what we saw from
Speaker 1: Sutton most recently, uh and because the reports and videos
Speaker 1: earlier was hesitancy and maybe like his knee, like he
Speaker 1: was still feeling injured. But now it looks like that
Speaker 1: confidence has returned. But honestly, I feel like Judy just
Speaker 1: fits Teddy's game a little bit better. I know that
Speaker 1: they both can thrive, but I'll I guess I'll take Judy.
Speaker 1: I think the breakouts coming this year. Okay, it's tough.
Speaker 1: I'll take Courtland Sutton. He was a Round five pick
Speaker 1: in last year's ADP, and I'm buying the dip. He's back,
Speaker 1: he's healthy again, and Jerry Judy was healthy all of
Speaker 1: last season and it was really just disappointing for the
Speaker 1: entire year. So I'll buy the dip on Courtland Sutton.
Speaker 1: Take the late guy and hope for the upside there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just don't want the I don't want the coming
Speaker 1: off the A c L. That's to me the difference
Speaker 1: here and Judy was not. I don't think you can
Speaker 1: characterize him as bad last year. No, it's a little disappointing.
Speaker 1: I think he did what most good what most good
Speaker 1: rookie receivers do in their first year, just not what
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson did in his first year. And I think
Speaker 1: the year two bounces coming for Jerry Judy will take
Speaker 1: him in round number six. I believe they're soft Jays though,
Speaker 1: Yerry Uti Yerry Uty Let's come back with I might
Speaker 1: be wrong. I might just be wrong. These are positions
Speaker 1: we've taken over the course of these preseason shows, they
Speaker 1: were laying awake night going, Um, you know, maybe I
Speaker 1: wasn't quite right about that. We'll tell you what's keeping
Speaker 1: us awake nights with our some of our hottest takes
Speaker 1: from the preseason when we return to Fantasy Football Weekly.
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly continues Scott Fish, Matt Harrison, I am
Speaker 1: Paul Charchi, and Guillotine Leagues dot com. We have two
Speaker 1: new ways to play Guillotine Leagues. Number one Super Chop
Speaker 1: twelve teams in twelve leagues, all vying to get ultimately
Speaker 1: one champion. Hundred forty four teams all vying for each other.
Speaker 1: This is our high stakes way to play Guillotine Leagues,
Speaker 1: including a grand prize of over three thou dollars. If
Speaker 1: you would like to participate or learn more, go to
Speaker 1: Guillotine Leagues dot com. We also have Guillotine's our smallest
Speaker 1: guillotine leagues. They are so cute, just nine teams, so
Speaker 1: that means it wraps up at the end of week
Speaker 1: number eight and then you turn around draft again, take
Speaker 1: all the same people if you want to draft again.
Speaker 1: Quillotini is also available dot com. Easier to win right
Speaker 1: if you only have eight other people you're playing against,
Speaker 1: not eighteen. That's that makes a little bit easier. This
Speaker 1: is a segment called I might just be wrong, but
Speaker 1: I know what I told you to do. But when
Speaker 1: I told you to do that, I was rousing, Ralph,
Speaker 1: I was, I was not exactly right. What do you
Speaker 1: mean not right? I mean not right. I don't get you.
Speaker 1: You mean you were wrong? Yeah, that's right. I was
Speaker 1: what you just said. I was just then. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: might just be wrong. Yeah, Scott, tell me what's keeping
Speaker 1: you up? Your yourself aware enough to know that sometimes?
Speaker 1: And we've was that the fantasy by the way, Well,
Speaker 1: yeah that was fantasy. That was the where's the other fans?
Speaker 1: We have another fantasy Fonzi in here. I think it's
Speaker 1: just Brian going, you're probably right about that. Um, you
Speaker 1: know we're wrong plenty on this show, and we're going
Speaker 1: to get things wrong. We always do. Scott, give me
Speaker 1: one thing that's keeping you up right now, laying awake
Speaker 1: at night, you're thinking to yourself, Oh man, I'm giving
Speaker 1: all this advice. I hope this thing isn't wrong. Well, Church,
Speaker 1: I'm worried I'm wrong about Antonio Gibson, My view is
Speaker 1: last year they focused on teaching him the running back position,
Speaker 1: and that's why mckissic got so much receiving work. Yes,
Speaker 1: and converted wide receiver, and we knew, we all knew less.
Speaker 1: You're going into the season that Antonio Gibson coming in
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver had great, great pass catcher, great
Speaker 1: in space. That's that's something he excels at. And then
Speaker 1: he didn't do it all year. I mean, you had
Speaker 1: thirty six receptions, but the clear exactly target. I feel
Speaker 1: like he needed to learn the running back position. And
Speaker 1: now that he's had a year, he's got Ron Rivera,
Speaker 1: who had Christian McCaffrey. Now he's going to be their
Speaker 1: version of Christian McCaffrey. They're going to add that element
Speaker 1: to his game to him and he's gonna get that
Speaker 1: ten plus touch on he had ten touch on his
Speaker 1: less year. He's gonna get more than that. But what
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, What if mckissic is just too good
Speaker 1: of a pass catcher and they're like that this word year. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's what worries me, is that he does not
Speaker 1: become the pass catcher the fifties, sixties, the sixty plus
Speaker 1: reception pass catcher. I think he should be in that offense.
Speaker 1: We are drafting Antonio Gibson in the at the end
Speaker 1: of the first round. That's under an assumption to for
Speaker 1: him to reach that level and return on that, he
Speaker 1: has to catch more passes and if he doesn't, you're
Speaker 1: gonna end up with less value than where you got
Speaker 1: him at running back four. On my latest cheat let's go,
Speaker 1: I picked fourth in the draft. The other day, I
Speaker 1: took Ekeler and I debated Ekeler, Gibson and Naji because
Speaker 1: that's where I have them in my rankings. Wow. I
Speaker 1: like it. Contrarian rankings here. That's part of the reason
Speaker 1: I like this show is that most are as a group,
Speaker 1: our host, we're not beholding to the group think of
Speaker 1: fantasy industry experts, which is fantastic. Matt, what is something
Speaker 1: that's keeping you awake at night worried that we might
Speaker 1: not be right? Um? That Lamar Jackson is a top
Speaker 1: five quarterback. I mean he has been his entire career,
Speaker 1: but I'm a little worried that he's never yet thrown
Speaker 1: for thirty yards in a season, which is not a
Speaker 1: high number. Not not a high number at all uh.
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus ranked him seventeen amongst quarterbacks in passing
Speaker 1: grade last year, behind such notable awesome fantasy quarterbacks Baker Mayfield,
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, Kirk Cousins, Philip Rivers, and just like a
Speaker 1: fraction of a grade above Daniel Jones. Yikes uh. He
Speaker 1: Jackson has all three of the all time top seasons
Speaker 1: ever for quarterback rushing attempts. If he's a running back
Speaker 1: that just hasn't gotten hurt yet, that's a problem. And
Speaker 1: will he be asked to run more this season? Due
Speaker 1: to the loss of j K Dobbins, the offensive line
Speaker 1: took a step down, and he still doesn't have any
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Coaching staff has been saying for two years
Speaker 1: that they wanted to pass more downfield, and can he
Speaker 1: actually do that. I'm nervous that it all goes wrong
Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson this year, if not very soon. I'm
Speaker 1: laying awake nights wondering what if Ben Roethlisberger has one
Speaker 1: great final season left in him. Because I've I've I'm
Speaker 1: out on Roethlisberger. I'm mostly out on that passing offense
Speaker 1: because I don't like what I saw last year from
Speaker 1: his arm and the way they used him. They fired
Speaker 1: their offensive coordinator, Randy Fitchner, and now they've you know,
Speaker 1: now that you know and and he was bad. Maybe
Speaker 1: this new offense he's comes in trim. Maybe Ben has
Speaker 1: got one great season left in him, and I shouldn't
Speaker 1: have him ranked his quarterback twenty one, and I shouldn't
Speaker 1: have his receivers where I've got them. What if he's
Speaker 1: got one great season left in him? The path is
Speaker 1: kind of there too, like you can see it, like
Speaker 1: if even if his arm is shot. Deonte is a
Speaker 1: close to the close to the line of scrimmage guy.
Speaker 1: Juju Is Friarmouth and Chase Claypool are big, you know,
Speaker 1: can go up and grab touchdown guys like drawn people away.
Speaker 1: I know that the offensive line is bad and it's
Speaker 1: gonna be bad, but maybe it won't matter. I think
Speaker 1: everybody's got him ring everybody does. Yeah, that's where I'm
Speaker 1: seeing him. We would be wrong. My My attitude is
Speaker 1: I'd rather get out a year two early on a
Speaker 1: aged veteran. But maybe this isn't the year. All right,
Speaker 1: Do you got another one that's leave that's that's keeping
Speaker 1: you awake? Scott, Yeah, like Totio Gibson is the one
Speaker 1: that I I lay awake at night, but I get
Speaker 1: to sleep and then I wake up in a cold
Speaker 1: sweat when I think, am I wrong on Lescault? I
Speaker 1: am drafting him way higher than everybody little body, And
Speaker 1: it scares me that I believe he is going to
Speaker 1: take the urban Meyer Percy Harvin Roll from Florida. I
Speaker 1: believe that that urban Meyer wanted ten in that role.
Speaker 1: And now that E. T. N is gone, that's Levisca.
Speaker 1: He's gonna use him in space. He's gonna use him
Speaker 1: a bunch. He had a six yard season last year.
Speaker 1: This year I think he, you know, bumps that up
Speaker 1: a ton. But what if what if he's Cordell Patterson?
Speaker 1: What what if he's Cordell Patterson for the Vikings just
Speaker 1: they make they make some plays work, but he never
Speaker 1: gets great enough volume to be truly awesome. What if
Speaker 1: they have too many other options and can only score
Speaker 1: from sixty yards out that that's where the cold sweat comes.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's that guy instead of the guy I want
Speaker 1: him to be. All right, Matt, do you have another
Speaker 1: thing that's keeping you awake nights that you might just
Speaker 1: be I was ok, I was not exactly right. Um. Yeah.
Speaker 1: After my melotonin wears off and I wake up at
Speaker 1: about four in the morning, I think about how se
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley actually might not be a fantasy trap and
Speaker 1: he actually might be the RP one this year. The
Speaker 1: injuries are concerned, as is the offensive line, as is
Speaker 1: the quarterback, as is the coordinator. But let's attack them
Speaker 1: one by one. Injuries, Let's just say s Kwan is
Speaker 1: almost fully healthy, and they've been kind of saving him
Speaker 1: for when games count. They're being cautious and not playing
Speaker 1: him when games don't matter. Uh. The offensive line. The
Speaker 1: line was terrible in ten and he had over two
Speaker 1: thousand total yards and fifteen touchdowns. In the quarterback. The
Speaker 1: quarterback in was Eli Manning, who at that point in
Speaker 1: his career was not significantly better than what Daniel Jones
Speaker 1: is right now. And the coordinator Jason Garrett, who, let's
Speaker 1: face it, Coach Garrett is Uh, he's not the greatest
Speaker 1: coach in the world. But he did one thing well
Speaker 1: in Dallas, and that was hand the ball off to
Speaker 1: his bell cow runner and Zeke and get the ball
Speaker 1: in Zeke's hands over and over again. He didn't have
Speaker 1: any other ideas. It was give the ball to seek
Speaker 1: as many times as possible, and the same could happen
Speaker 1: with se Kwon. So he's going by me. I'm passing
Speaker 1: on him every time he goes by me in the
Speaker 1: second round, and he just might be a first round
Speaker 1: league winner this year. The thing that's leaving me sleepless
Speaker 1: at night. If Jalen Hurts evolves as a kid to
Speaker 1: a great passer, I've got him ranked really really wrong
Speaker 1: right now. I've got him a quarterback twelve. The rushing upside,
Speaker 1: that's probably an appropriate ranking, but I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: trust the passing that I saw last year. Yet he
Speaker 1: notched two to yard games in his four starts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got that Kyler Murray upside. He does have Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray upside, and that if if he can involve as
Speaker 1: a passer and he and that means I don't have
Speaker 1: to sweat Gardner Minshew Joe Flacco taking his job, then
Speaker 1: I'm really wrong on Jalen Hurts. And he's got freaky upside.
Speaker 1: So when Lamar came out, not not came out like
Speaker 1: I think it was the second year, I tweeted about
Speaker 1: a stat that I think it was a quarterback who
Speaker 1: rushes for over five hundred, six hundred yards has never
Speaker 1: finished below QB seven, and that's very that's almost es
Speaker 1: that where he's being drafted, which is around by the way,
Speaker 1: quarterback twelve, where I've got him ranked. Just typically where
Speaker 1: he's being drafted, you're almost counting out him getting benched
Speaker 1: at some point. That ve that's basically what we're but
Speaker 1: we're basically drafting him at his floor. For Jalen Hurts,
Speaker 1: that's keeping me awake for sure. When we come back,
Speaker 1: final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly, we will break down
Speaker 1: the Thursday night game. We've got live, real games coming
Speaker 1: on Thursday, and unveil our final sleepers of the year.
Speaker 1: Please stay tuned. Final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. We've
Speaker 1: got real games happening in less than a week. Thursday Night,
Speaker 1: Dallas Tampa. Kind of odd that, you know, normally the
Speaker 1: Thursday nighter is a rematch from the playoffs, or at
Speaker 1: least two teams in the playoffs, But apparently the NFL
Speaker 1: has decided America's team is a big enough draw that
Speaker 1: they would put Dallas into this prestigious spot at the opening.
Speaker 1: In the opening game. Weirdly, Tampa gets the second place
Speaker 1: schedule from their division, so they don't have any of
Speaker 1: the you know, top flight teams, so that's why their
Speaker 1: schedules a little bit easter. A couple of the they
Speaker 1: screwed a couple of them. Anyway, America's team. Pah, that's
Speaker 1: what I say to that. Let's go through the outlook
Speaker 1: for players from the Cowboys and the Buccaneers. Speginning on
Speaker 1: the Cowboys side, Dak Prescott gets a B grade. I
Speaker 1: think there's a bunch of factors working against Doc in
Speaker 1: this game. He's gonna have to chisel off a thick
Speaker 1: layer of rust after missing most of last year. In
Speaker 1: the preseason, is Frankenstein foot adds questions to his mobility.
Speaker 1: I don't expect a lot of running here. And remember
Speaker 1: the last time we saw the Buccaneers pass rush, they
Speaker 1: were turning Patrick Mahomes into a slurry. We're gonna watch
Speaker 1: the status of right tackle l Collins, who may miss
Speaker 1: this game as well. And but in a moment, the
Speaker 1: upside is you're gonna hear that I like his receiver's
Speaker 1: individual matchups a lot, so there's still some upside for
Speaker 1: Doc in this game. Ceedee Lamb gets an a. Lamb
Speaker 1: ran predominantly from the slot last year, and if he
Speaker 1: does that, he's got a terrific matchup against Sean Murphy Bunting,
Speaker 1: a coverage liability for the Bucks, who allowed a passer
Speaker 1: rating of one in his coverage last year. There we go.
Speaker 1: Lambs looked fantastic in camp. Murphy Bunting allowed the sixth
Speaker 1: most yards in his coverage last year, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: for a slot corner to give up the sixth most
Speaker 1: yards is a lot. I also like that there's a
Speaker 1: baseball player named Sean Murphy and when he's bunting, he's
Speaker 1: Sean Murphy bunting. That's a great point A grade for
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb, a grade for a Marii Cooper Situationally, the
Speaker 1: Bucks will have cornerback Carlton Davis shadow opposing number one receivers.
Speaker 1: He did that in half of his games last year.
Speaker 1: As a big bodied corner, Davis should see a lot
Speaker 1: of Cooper. And Davis isn't great. He ranked his Profo
Speaker 1: Ball Focus is forty six ranked cornerback, and he is
Speaker 1: prone to meltdown games he had several last year, and
Speaker 1: Carlton Davis allowed the eighth most yards of all cornerbacks
Speaker 1: last year. It bridge so Amari Cooper a grade. Then
Speaker 1: there's Michael Gallop with a sea he pulls up. He
Speaker 1: gets the short straw here with with if things hold
Speaker 1: with coverage from the Buck's best cornerback the most often,
Speaker 1: Jamal Dean. Dean hasn't allowed to touch down in seven
Speaker 1: straight games. Obviously, going through back last year and the
Speaker 1: playoff run. This preseason, Gallup worked more out of the
Speaker 1: slot than he ever has before, which is kind of
Speaker 1: interesting and maybe that opens up the prospect for some
Speaker 1: easier matchups for him. It's not clear that Dean's gonna
Speaker 1: be on Gallop all the time and not Cooper. Here,
Speaker 1: it's I'm still giving a starting grade on Gallop. Church.
Speaker 1: What do you think about Gallops like prospects throughout the year.
Speaker 1: We haven't really talked about him much in the preseason
Speaker 1: gotten man for most of them, really, and like, if
Speaker 1: if Cooper and Lambs stay healthy, is Gallop a guy
Speaker 1: that can be startable most of this year? I think
Speaker 1: you've got to find your spots starts there because there's
Speaker 1: not enough balls to go around, and Lamb and Cooper
Speaker 1: are gonna eat so many targets. But I think for
Speaker 1: this particular matchup, C grade Blake Jarwin's going largely undrafted,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna watch him and see what kind of
Speaker 1: condition he's in after last season's knee injury. He is
Speaker 1: on the bench um as for Zeke. C grade on
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott in the toughest matchup of his entire year
Speaker 1: coming right here. In the season opener. The Bucks returned
Speaker 1: all eleven defensive starters to a defense that ranked number
Speaker 1: one in rushing yards allowed, number one in yards per carry,
Speaker 1: number one in fantasy points allowed, and number two in
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns allowed. Allow me to tell you the notable
Speaker 1: runners who failed to top thirty nine rushing yards last
Speaker 1: year against the Bucks. I feel like I remember this
Speaker 1: from last probably Clyde Edwards, a Lair failed twice, Cam
Speaker 1: Acres failed, Mike Davis, Aaron Jones failed twice, Alvin Kamara failed,
Speaker 1: David Montgomery failed, Melvin Gordon failed, Antonio Gibson failed, and
Speaker 1: almost none of them scored in addition to failing to
Speaker 1: hit thirty nine rush yards against the Bucks. If I
Speaker 1: had stones, I would put a bench grade on Zeke,
Speaker 1: but I'm putting a C grade on him. And here's
Speaker 1: why he can chip in through the air. And this
Speaker 1: is where Tampa was susceptible. Zeke is an elite receiver
Speaker 1: and the Bucks allowed the most running back receptions and
Speaker 1: the seventh most running back receiving yards. So I think
Speaker 1: Zeke's gonna bail you out that way, maybe hopefully chips
Speaker 1: in a score through the air. Let's go to the
Speaker 1: Tampa side. Tom Brady, Mike Evans, and Chris Godwin all
Speaker 1: a grades. For Brady, positive matchups all over the field.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about his individual whiteouts in a second here. Evans, Brown,
Speaker 1: Godwin all have strongly positive matchups over their cornerback counterparts
Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs, Anthony Brown, and especially Jordan Lewis in the slot.
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about those guys momentarily here. For Godwin
Speaker 1: rarely healthy last year, but he gets the He gets
Speaker 1: the slot receiver role here with a drool inducing matchup
Speaker 1: because Jordan Lewis a lot of passer rating of ninety
Speaker 1: eight last year and finishes as Pro Football focuses one
Speaker 1: hundred seventh ranked cornerback. There aren't even seven corner so
Speaker 1: we like Godwin a lot Mike Evans is going to
Speaker 1: see a lot of Trayvon Diggs, who usually gets the
Speaker 1: call for the opposing physical receiver, and that's Evans. Diggs
Speaker 1: will probably be better in year year two, but in
Speaker 1: year one it wasn't good. Diggs finished the year with
Speaker 1: a quarterback ranking of nine seven on passes thrown into
Speaker 1: his coverage, and ProFootball Focus ranked him fifty three at
Speaker 1: the cornerback position. That's a strongly positive matchup for Mike Evans, who,
Speaker 1: as I mentioned before, a grade and compounding everything else,
Speaker 1: by the way, dallas Is safeties look super wobbly. Malik Hooker,
Speaker 1: formerly of the Cold, will be playing his first game
Speaker 1: since blowing out his achilles. Demonte Casey is coming off
Speaker 1: a COVID year. He's got to knock the rust off
Speaker 1: of that, and before that he was bad. So the
Speaker 1: safeties for Dallas are not good either. Antonio Brown should
Speaker 1: not be forgotten about Scott, No, he should not be great.
Speaker 1: Brown Is will most frequently match up against cornerback Anthony Brown,
Speaker 1: and a Brown versus Brown matchup. They are not related
Speaker 1: to no one a nt their aunt Brown versus Aunt Brown. Um,
Speaker 1: somehow Anthony Brown is worse than all the other corners,
Speaker 1: ranking as cornerback one eleven by Pro Football Focus. The
Speaker 1: worry for me on Brown is just volume. But as
Speaker 1: you mentioned Scott, at the end of last year and
Speaker 1: through the playoffs, the volume was fine. So you could
Speaker 1: consider Brown in a grade if you want. I gotta
Speaker 1: be grade on him, And I will note that Brown
Speaker 1: scored six times in the Buck's final six games. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, in sneaky fashion with maybe Brown is more
Speaker 1: reliable than the other guys, but I think a lot
Speaker 1: of it was that Evans and Goden were beaten down
Speaker 1: through injury throughout the course of last year, and Brown
Speaker 1: came in fresh after not playing the first half of
Speaker 1: the season. It should be noted they've stated that Mike Evans,
Speaker 1: they think Mike Evans is in the like he's worked
Speaker 1: harder than he has any other offseason. They absolutely love
Speaker 1: what he's doing right now. They think he's in prime
Speaker 1: of the dreaded best shape of his ever. Listened to that,
Speaker 1: We've learned, we've learned, We've learned. Rob Gronkowski gets a
Speaker 1: C grade you're you're looking for touchdowns with because the
Speaker 1: volume is not there to make him usually a PPR helper,
Speaker 1: but you've got an opportunity for just that in this game.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys were shockingly good against tight ends last year.
Speaker 1: They ranked second in yards allowed, and no tight end
Speaker 1: top thirty eight yards in a game against them in
Speaker 1: the entire second half of the year. But again we're
Speaker 1: looking for touchdowns. They allowed a healthy seven touchdowns to
Speaker 1: tight ends, and that's what you hope you can get
Speaker 1: from Gronk. Gronk will frequently match up against rookie linebacker
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons, making his first ever NFL start. Now, he
Speaker 1: was a first rounder, and Micah Parsons maybe a great
Speaker 1: player at some point, but game one, you know, maybe not.
Speaker 1: In game one, we'll give the advantage to Rob Gronkowski.
Speaker 1: And finally, let's talk the running back. So I'm giving
Speaker 1: Leo Fournette and Ronald Jones both see grades here. It
Speaker 1: is a tantalizing matchup, which I'll talk about in a minute,
Speaker 1: But this is the league's most inscrutable running back by committee,
Speaker 1: and there's no reason to think that Bruce arians usage
Speaker 1: will be any more guessable this year than it has
Speaker 1: been in the past. For Net dominated the playoffs. You
Speaker 1: guys know that, but that doesn't mean anything, and Bruce
Speaker 1: arians might flip the script just because also they've probably
Speaker 1: feel you have a super Bowl team, so they might
Speaker 1: not try to run one too hard, right, They could
Speaker 1: easily flip flop these guys around. The Dallas run defense
Speaker 1: was off of last year. They marng thirtieth in rushing
Speaker 1: yards per carry, thirty feet in rushing yards per game.
Speaker 1: Maybe a healthy latent vander Esh will help. Maybe Micah
Speaker 1: Parsons will help those are you know, new additions for
Speaker 1: you know, after vendor Esh missed a lot of last year,
Speaker 1: there's only a few years removed from being one of
Speaker 1: the best in the league, right, So you know, maybe
Speaker 1: those things will help this run defense. But until we
Speaker 1: know that's the fact, this feels like an opportunity. But
Speaker 1: you've got a lot of danger here, and you guys
Speaker 1: all know it. For Nette and Jones c Grade, you
Speaker 1: just know that you're flirting with danger, do you. Bernard
Speaker 1: may not play. He's got a high ankle sprain, and
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna go in this game. And
Speaker 1: never I don't start anybody who's playing through a high
Speaker 1: ankle spring Yeah, I'm super right now, and you know
Speaker 1: exactly Um, you barely made it to the studio barely,
Speaker 1: that's right, you were. You came in questionable but got
Speaker 1: it out all right. So there's your breakdown of the
Speaker 1: Thursday night game. Okay, let's release our final set of
Speaker 1: sleepers for this year. Matt, who you got? I got
Speaker 1: Juan Johnson and it's a guy maybe you haven't heard
Speaker 1: of before. Um, but fantasy football is all about opportunity,
Speaker 1: and there are lots of opportunities that catch passes for
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints right now, or should I say
Speaker 1: that Jacksonville Saints or whatever they are. Michael Thomas is
Speaker 1: out for a month or more. Tray Kawon Smith is
Speaker 1: not good. Mark has Callaway has come on as of late.
Speaker 1: But Adam Troutman was supposed to be the target darling
Speaker 1: in this offense. He was carted off with an ankle
Speaker 1: injury a week ago. Nick Vannette is the next tight
Speaker 1: end in line on the depth chart. He's also injured.
Speaker 1: So insert converted wide receiver, second year tight end Juwan Johnson.
Speaker 1: We love second year tight ends. We love tight ends
Speaker 1: that were converted wide receivers or basketball players, and Johnson
Speaker 1: played wide receiver in College of both Penn State and Oregon.
Speaker 1: Has been one of Jamis Winston's favorite targets this preseason.
Speaker 1: Johnson's best strength maybe his elusiveness after the catch, and
Speaker 1: he's looking like he maybe the top tight end on
Speaker 1: their depth chart in week one. But he's probably listed,
Speaker 1: but he might be listed as a wide receiver in
Speaker 1: your league. So check it out. You might have to
Speaker 1: switch the positions if you're in if you're in a
Speaker 1: league that can do that, but he might be listed
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver in your league. Yeah, at katine
Speaker 1: leagues dot Com, we had we went and we had
Speaker 1: to switch him to tight end because he's he has
Speaker 1: That's right, all right? Who is your final sleeper of
Speaker 1: the preseason, Scott, I am going with Amen Ross st Brown.
Speaker 1: You've probably heard me talk about him a few times
Speaker 1: on this show. They they kept Tyrolle Williams and they dropped,
Speaker 1: they waved. Remember Brett, I was gonna say, that's right, shot, Ferryman. Uh,
Speaker 1: Tyrell Williams has already banged up. Aman Ra has the
Speaker 1: slot down and and they only have two other guys
Speaker 1: that can play the slot on the team. You have
Speaker 1: a five ft nine hundred sixty pound calif Raymond, who
Speaker 1: is not going to beat out their fourth round pick.
Speaker 1: And then you have Trinity Benson who spent two years
Speaker 1: on a practice squad and has just come over to
Speaker 1: the team. That slot role is his. He's gonna get
Speaker 1: every bit of the slot work on that team. Um.
Speaker 1: They did pick up Carder Hodge from Cleveland, but he's
Speaker 1: also unlikely to you know, jump in the slot and
Speaker 1: take any any staffs from am Right. My final sleeper
Speaker 1: is Baker Mayfield. When we look back at last year
Speaker 1: and you look at his full season totals, they're kind
Speaker 1: of underwhelming. But and I think Matt you may have
Speaker 1: brought this up a week or two ago. You did.
Speaker 1: If you remove these three crazy bad weather games that
Speaker 1: they had in the consecutive home games. Um, if you
Speaker 1: take that out, suddenly Baker was a pretty good fantasy producer.
Speaker 1: His touchdown interstation interception ratio is great. And this upcoming
Speaker 1: year will be his second year with the same offensive
Speaker 1: coordinator and head coach, which he hasn't had head coach,
Speaker 1: head coach, and coach of the year last year. UM,
Speaker 1: if you take out those three games and then pro
Speaker 1: rate the his season across, he would have had a
Speaker 1: thirty eight hundred yard thirty two touchdown season, which is
Speaker 1: exactly Ryan Tannehill from last year. Exactly, Ryan Daniel Tannehill
Speaker 1: was quarterback eight last year. He's been drafted right now
Speaker 1: is quarterback eleven, Baker Mayfield going off the board his
Speaker 1: quarterback eighteen. That is an incorrect delta. There's value of
Speaker 1: the owners, there is fantasy. There's a lot of value there.
Speaker 1: And remember Baker Mayfield has started every game he's played
Speaker 1: in the postseason. He threw touchdowns in fourteen of his
Speaker 1: fifteen non weather games, so he didn't go leave you
Speaker 1: high and dry at any point. And yeah, Kevin Stefanski
Speaker 1: has got a run heavy approach and that probably caps
Speaker 1: his total upside. But as a safe second quarterback on
Speaker 1: your team, I think Baker Mayfield's ideal. And you don't
Speaker 1: even have to take him before round thirteen of your draft.
Speaker 1: How how would you feel about him as your QB
Speaker 1: one if you just totally slapped to and you grab
Speaker 1: him and Tray Lance give me an upside guy after me.
Speaker 1: But you might actually have to take a Lance before Mayfield.
Speaker 1: You probably do. But there you go around twelve and thirteen,
Speaker 1: you could probably grab those two and be like, right,
Speaker 1: I got Mayfield for safety, and then I've got this
Speaker 1: other upside quarterback which is a possibility. Let me run you,
Speaker 1: Let me run you by the final sleeper I thought
Speaker 1: about but did not use Quaes Watkins. Yeah that now
Speaker 1: he most people have don't even know who I'm talking
Speaker 1: especially you know, he might have some big that's what
Speaker 1: he's all about. He won the slot job for Philadelphia
Speaker 1: and sent Travis Fulgum to the waiver wire. I mean
Speaker 1: that's you know, and Folgum was pretty good last year.
Speaker 1: They really like that kid. And I think he's you know,
Speaker 1: I think he's a splash play guy who in spots
Speaker 1: starts is gonna be startable. You watch when we're doing
Speaker 1: our when we are doing our take a chance on
Speaker 1: the segment, and oftentimes we identify a slot wide receiver
Speaker 1: who's got an easy matchup against the slot corner. Quas
Speaker 1: Watkins name is gonna come up. He probably will, especially
Speaker 1: since he lives in the NFC East. That helps as well.
Speaker 1: That does help as well. And you know, look at
Speaker 1: who's battling for for targets with outside you know they've
Speaker 1: got competent tight ends. But for receivers a rookie and
Speaker 1: Jay W Reagor a rookie and Jalen Reagor. Right, So
Speaker 1: you know, Qus Watkins, that was the guy I was
Speaker 1: thinking about. Atlanta made a sneaky move at the end
Speaker 1: of the year. Sorry, at the end of last week,
Speaker 1: picking up Wayne Gallman and dropping Codrey Allison. That was
Speaker 1: a sneaky move. Now, we've had some different opinions about
Speaker 1: Mike Davis. None of us think he's an elite runner.
Speaker 1: I think most of us think he's just an okay
Speaker 1: starting running back. Wayne Goldman was good in spots last
Speaker 1: year for the Giants. Do you think this bodes poorly
Speaker 1: for Mike Davis. I think it bodes more poorly than
Speaker 1: it did when Quadrea Allison was his backup, because I
Speaker 1: think Gallman is is a is a better option. I
Speaker 1: had no faith in Allison being anything that could take
Speaker 1: really anything away from Mike Davis. But Wayne Gollman is
Speaker 1: a guy who can take legitimate touches. The way I
Speaker 1: watched Mike Davis last year, he looked good in spots,
Speaker 1: but as as the game the starts aracked up, like
Speaker 1: as the starts racked up, less and less and less so,
Speaker 1: and and I think that's why he's been a backup
Speaker 1: most of his career. That so, I think that could
Speaker 1: happen in this where maybe Mike Davis starts out as
Speaker 1: the guy and he starts to wear and it's more
Speaker 1: of a split the further we get along. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: that move did not get a lot of attention, but
Speaker 1: it definitely caused a little bit of concern for me.
Speaker 1: Matt Well, and are we sure that twenty eight year
Speaker 1: old Mike Davis, which is ancient for a running back,
Speaker 1: are we sure that he's good? Are we absolutely sure?
Speaker 1: Because I'm definitely not And not that I'm sure that
Speaker 1: Wayne Gallman is good or any better, but that there's
Speaker 1: not enough there for us to go. This can't be
Speaker 1: a split backfield here. It's it's not as clear as
Speaker 1: everybody thinks. It's just Mike Davis, That's what it was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody loved Mike Davis. We just loved
Speaker 1: the situation. We love the opportunity and you get more
Speaker 1: and more average runners well, and that was one of
Speaker 1: our traits of a running back bust guys that we
Speaker 1: thought a situation is great. But maybe he's he's maybe
Speaker 1: not that good of a runner, and it's yeah, the
Speaker 1: situation is great, but just work out and Mike Davis,
Speaker 1: he's not not built for goal line use. But Wayne
Speaker 1: Goldman is to just put Kyle Pitts in the background.
Speaker 1: Just let him do everything it, let him be quarterback.
Speaker 1: I know there are some people that would love to
Speaker 1: have Kyle Pitts. Many people think he's not a tight end.
Speaker 1: Kyle Pits is not a tight it. Maybe it's a quarterback.
Speaker 1: Let's make it. Do you think he Kyle Pitts can
Speaker 1: throw and catch the touchbass. That would be very Brad
Speaker 1: Johnson style. You can pull that off, would be wonderful.
