Hey, it's Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm 0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:25.200 Paul Charity and Brian Johnson with me. Hey, Brian, see 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:29.520 free agency just days away. Can't wait to see all 0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:33.400 the macin nations, the moves, the big names, all the changes. 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:36.519 I don't recall being this excited for free agency and 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:38.480 quite some time. There are a lot of a lot 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:40.320 of big names. There are a lot of big names, 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.199 and I can't wait to go through that. That will 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:46.280 be next week's show. This week, we will be continuing 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.400 to drill down on the key things to know and 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:54.040 remember from last year, division by division. Last week we 0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:55.760 did NFC East, We've all done in the a f 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:58.040 C East. For switching our attention this week to the 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:02.840 a f C South, where my my new favorite team resides. 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:07.800 Your new favorite team is the Jacksonville Ars. Niting the bank, 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.720 the Bengals abandoning them, but I brought them to a 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:15.480 near championship caliber level. And they're they're they're good. They're 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.280 gonna be just fine. I gotta take my talents elsewhere. 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:22.320 So I'm going to Jacksonville, New Bengals. They need your help. 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.319 They they did. And for anybody who doesn't know, you 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:29.560 gave up on your Giants before Burrow was drafted when 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.440 the Bengals are a very very bad team. So you 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.000 get plenty. You're not a front runner on this Bengals 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.400 bid at all. No graduation. We're remember this. So in 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:42.600 Jacksonville is in the super Bowl calling it you're calling 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:44.000 it two years. I think that they couldn't make the 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.040 playoffs this year. Let's talk about all right, let's start 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:50.760 with jackson Start with Trevor Lawrence. Um, what way way 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:55.280 under reported story? How bad he looked last year? Yeah, 0:01:55.360 --> 0:02:00.280 disaster rookie season. Just twelve passing touchdowns, fifteen game sames 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:04.880 with zero or one passing touchdown. It was basically unusable 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:08.480 in fantasy. But um not giving up on Lawrence just yet. 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:10.000 I was pretty rough on him. I mean, there was 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.560 things certainly not working in his favor, starting with Urban Meyer, 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.680 his head coach, probably one of the worst head coaches 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.919 in NFL history. Albeit it was only like a half 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:21.880 a season. Uh, Doug Peterson massive upgrade a head coach, 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.480 I think, especially from an offensive perspective. Uh, Travis e 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.720 t N missed all of his rookie season. That didn't 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.600 help Trevor Lawrence at all. Um. And by the way, 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.720 she mentioned e t N is ahead of schedule according 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.360 to recent media reports. And we'll certainly talk about him 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.200 a little more in a minute or two here. D J. 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.280 Chark was hurt. So it was just a disaster all 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.400 around the offensive line. Okay, Okay, that's all true, and 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.480 there's a lot of reason, there's a lot of excuse making. 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:50.520 But if you watched Trevor Lawrence, he looked bad in 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.680 situations in which he had no reason to look bad 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.680 when you would have a clean pocket. Misfiring all of 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.720 the accuracy, really really bad, misfiring or not hitting guys 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.960 in ride, not catchable passes or or difficult catches that 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:08.079 shouldn't be difficult. It just I'm telling you, even if 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.480 I factor out all these other things and I just 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:15.160 look at try to isolate Trevor Lawrence, Brian, it was 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.639 a bad it was he did not perform well. No, 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:19.600 and I was worried you know, he put up these 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.160 massive numbers in college, but he was basically playing for 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.880 a pro team. Yeah, right, like he had amazing talent 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.920 all around him. But I don't know. I people are 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.800 way down on Lawrence. He's kind of a guy I'm 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.960 targeting as like a top backup, and I still think 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:37.119 he could with the right pieces around him. They're gonna 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.920 address the offensive line for sure. They're gonna take Evan 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.480 Neal first. Overall, everyone's saying mass mountain of the offensive 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.200 lineman from Alabama. So I hope they do. I am. 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.760 I'm buying into Lawrence in in redraft this year and 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.760 certainly dynasty if if the price is low enough. So uh, 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.440 I'm glass half half full with Trevor Lawrence. UM over 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:59.160 to his wide receivers uh D J Shark unrestricted free agent, 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.040 he's basically gone um assuming he's not gonna be on 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.480 the team. So we'll talk about Marvin Jones. As of 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.240 right now, he is their wide receiver one. Jacksonville is 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.960 certainly going to add a receiver or to via the draft, 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:14.120 of free agency or both. But Jones by no means 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.799 is he a sexy pick in drafts. But he's someone 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.800 you can likely count on to roughly seventy catches, nine yards, 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.640 five or six touchdowns. So a guy you'll drive my 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.039 fifth wide receiver on my team, and he'll be a 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:29.000 spot starter in so weeks, certainly in in heavy bye week. 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.440 So Joan is still a relevant fantasy player, but I 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.200 think he'll thrive more if they can bring in a 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.760 bigger name receiver via free agency or draft a Treylon 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.680 Burks or Garrett Davis, which which they could could be. 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.279 It could be something they do most box I'm seeing 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.479 have Jacksonville taken a because they have the thirty second pick. 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:50.799 I believe as well know that that's Detroit's got thirty two. 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.840 Because of the I still think, oh yeah, maybe I'm 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.760 just thinking that they got thirty three. Yeah, they're definitely 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.800 taking a receiver first overall, but a lot of marks 0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:59.880 I see you have. I'm taking a receiver with that 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.440 thirty third pick, and there'll be some some enticing options there. Um, 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:07.440 why did we spend so much offseason time talking about 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.640 lavis Chanel, Hyped by many many people as a sleeper. 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.840 He had the huge December last year the year before 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.680 last and rolled into this and we're like, man, all 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.440 the physical gifts and now he's got he's got a 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.159 first round quarterback to throw him the ball, first overall 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:29.839 pick quarterback. His lack of involvement in that offense was shocking. Yeah, 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:34.400 just sixty three catches SI nineteen yards, zero touchdowns. Didn't 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.960 get a ton of carries either. We see more work 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:41.760 on the ground. Jacksonville's GM recently said the ship has 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.520 not sailed on Chenal, which is a good thing, I guess, 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:45.920 but on the flip side is not a good thing 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.520 when you have to make a standard right attack like that. 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:52.160 But uh another he's a serious buy low candidate as 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.920 of right now. Everyone looking for the next Deebo Samuel 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.360 these days. He's you would think he's got that skill set, 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.880 so a guy you can get very cheap. I'm intrigued 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.320 by Chanel. I'll take a flyer on him in some 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.800 leagues and I just hope that he hits that ceiling. 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.920 But if if he doesn't show massive improvement this year, 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.920 it's it's it's over. But the ship has not sailed, 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:17.080 especially in fantasy football on labishka Um. Now, speaking of guys, 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:22.160 I really like no Nay. I love Dan Arnold tight 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:27.680 end Dan Arnold. Funny, how you got Jacksonville? Yeah, you 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.440 know I set that up for this reason. Yes, I know. 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:33.839 Arnold traded from Carolina to Jacksonville mid season, didn't have 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.719 much time to acclimate to his new team. Uh, got 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:38.800 hurt in Week twelve and missed the rest of the 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:42.960 season um because of the injury. But before he got injured, 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:44.880 there was a nice three game stretch when he really 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.480 clicked with Trevor Lawrence. And this is like right when 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:51.120 he got traded. There saw target totals of ten seven seven. 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.920 He topped sixty yards in each of those games. Uh, 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.400 he ran nearly seventy his routes from the slaughter outside. 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:01.839 So he's really a wide receiver. The tight end eligible 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.320 in fantasy football, and I love the Doug Peterson higher. Yeah, 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.400 tight ends is significant. I'm not saying daniar Old is, 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.920 you know, not tight end one, not even tight end 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.800 top twelve tight end, but a guy you can take 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:16.880 in the very later rounds as your backup tight end. 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.920 Is going tight end twenty four right now, there is 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.120 upside there. They might bring in another tight end, but 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.880 I think that'd be more traditional inline blocker guy, probably 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:26.720 because it's not much of a blocker. You know, I 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.160 had to talk about Dan Arold. He's still fantasy relevant 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.440 and we'll be giving him some some c's, maybe even 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:35.120 some bes uh this regular season on f W make 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:38.880 that Bowl prediction. And lastly for the Jaguars running backs, 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:43.080 Travis e t N and we'll talk James Robinson and 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:44.960 we can't look back on e t ns rookie season. 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.080 He missed the whole thing with the Liz Frank injury 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:53.000 I suffered in training camp. Um, people, he's pretty much 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.480 getting drafted where he was getting drafted last year. The 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.840 hype is still there for e t N more appealing 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:02.120 in PPR formats, though he seems like more of a 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.920 receiver than a rusher. It's unlikely he gets used in 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.360 a Bell cow roll. He'll certainly get see some carries, 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.040 but the question is who will be there who Who 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.720 will he be splitting those carries with? That is not clear. No, 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.960 James Robinson tours Achilles late in the season. Uh, he 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.760 was a viable RB two before the injury. Um, but 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:22.400 I don't know if he's gonna be ready to go. 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.560 No Achilles injuries are you know, we've talked about this 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.720 a lot with cam Akers. Chilles injuries on running backs 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:32.839 are usually a career ender. Um. You know, Acres came 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.319 back in for the playoffs, totally mundane like three yards 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:39.360 a carry. Um it is. It is really really hard 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:44.280 to the high water mark for any running back. Often 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:49.000 achilles is Donta Foreman last year four years removed from 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.800 his achilles. It's a It is a brutal injury, and 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.880 I think the expectation should be that you're not going 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:59.400 to get help from James Robinson next year, not meaningful help. Yeah, 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.280 So know, be a little wary draft in Travis et 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:05.800 N He's not even though there's no clear competition right now, 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.200 there there will be, and he's just he's just not 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.840 going it's going to be that twenty plus carry guy. 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.760 He's not built for that, even if the draft equity 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.839 they put into him would suggest as much. That's it 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.000 for Jackson. When I was at the combine back a 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:25.160 I guess now, uh week ten days ago, Um, I 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.480 had a chance to sit down with Tennessee offensive coordinator 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:32.559 Todd Downing had a nice chat um and Downey it's 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.720 a massive challenges last year with Tennessee, right he had 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.959 injuries to Derrick Henry, A J. Brown, Leo Jones, a 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:40.920 variety of linemen moving in and out, in and out 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:44.319 every week. Um, not a lot of depth of receiver either, right, 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.600 and they're having to make you know, Chester Rogers needs 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.640 to step up, Nick Westbrook, Conte needs to step up. 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:54.720 Picante Sauce needs to step up. And so they put 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:56.480 they may do when they got to the playoffs and 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:58.320 you know, and to turn out Mike. You know, Mike 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:03.079 Vrabel got coach the year contract extension. Yeah. I think 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.760 that the game they lost the Bengals in the divisional round, 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:09.080 that was like one of two or three games where 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.920 it was they had A J. Brown, Julio Jones, and 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:15.520 Derrick Henry and Henry Henry was for that game sixty 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.320 rushing yards in the game and it ended up being 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.760 a sixteen to nineteen game at defensive tussle. Let's talk 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:25.800 Derrick Henry pre injury dominating every rushing stat by a 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.880 mile record setting pace. It was m v P pace. 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:32.800 It was. He was absolutely dominating. And it was his 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:37.880 average game pre injury one hundred forty four total yards 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.240 and one and a half touchdowns per game. And you 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.920 can easily make the case that says, don't care about 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.200 the injury, don't care about all the workload. I'm just 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.160 gonna draft Derrick Henry again because I know that Todd 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.000 Downing will run him into the ground as whatever it takes. 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:56.040 And if he breaks down again, I'm gonna, you know, up, fine, Okay, 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.440 I'm through eight weeks. I'm gonna be damnity or undefeated 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.880 because I've got Derrick Henry pumping in hundred forty four 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:02.559 yards and when I have touchdowns per game, I'll deal 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.439 with it. If he goes down that that's a viable 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.679 case to be made for taking Derrick Henry as as 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.199 early as the second pick of a draft. Yeah, that's 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.600 pretty much the stance I'm taking. I'm not I'm not 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:14.480 too worried about the foot injury. I don't think he's 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:18.880 gonna you know, he subject to broken feet now, probably not. 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.440 Probably not. Let's go to the passing game and Ryan 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.640 Tannehill finished with seven rushing touchdowns, and you might be 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.280 thinking to yourself because I kind of was, well, I 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.440 got seven rushing touchdowns because Derrick Henry got hurt. But 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:34.520 as it turns out, half of those seven three we're 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.720 before Derrick Henry got hurt and he had seven rutching 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.400 touchdowns year before that. When Derrick Henry is healthy, he 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.679 dude scores rushing touchdowns. Well, he's an athlete, he was, 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:47.120 He's a converted wide receiver exactly exactly Dan Hill's passing. 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.320 It wasn't bad. But the real problem last year, and 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.280 you could view it as an admiration if you want, 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:56.360 is he just didn't throw touchdowns. He had just twenty one. 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.520 That was his lowest touchdown output since he was a dolphin, 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:03.520 and he scored zero or one passing touchdowns in fourteen games. 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:07.280 Trevor Lawrence was fifteen. Wow, that was a that's the 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:11.760 part that killed him. But the total yards wasn't half bad. Uh, 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:13.760 it just didn't convert in the end zone, and that 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:15.920 might you know, that could easily end up flipping. He 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:17.439 has the same yards and I think off top of 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:19.680 my head, it was like thirty yards. He has the 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:21.800 same thirty seven hundred yards. He should have more than 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.240 one touchdowns year. I mean, losing Derrick Henry really hurt. 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.560 Not that Henry was catching a lot of touchdowns, but 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:31.320 defenses had just had to respect the rung and that 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.800 opened up I mean Dante Foreman looked good in Henry's absence, 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:36.360 but that was that was huge for tan Hill and 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:40.040 that whole offense. A J. Brown other frustrating season of injuries, 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:44.760 this time chest, knee, hamstring injuries. Sometimes he dominated, like 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.160 in monster games against Buffalo, Kansas City, Indy San Francisco 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:52.080 and that Bengals playoff loss in a monster game, and 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.600 in those moments A J. Brown looks like the best 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:59.680 receiver in the league. But the problem was his other 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.640 nine games. He averaged three catches for thirty eight yards 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:06.240 and scored twice in those nine games, and he torpedoed 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:07.959 your team. Yeah, you'd like to see those games be 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:11.520 more like a six catches for seventy Yeah, right, That's 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.160 what I wanted floor to be. But it wasn't that way. 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:18.400 And the frustrating part is you can't say, well, it's 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.480 because Derrick Henry was eating all the carries, because half 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:22.720 the season he didn't. You can't say it was because 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.360 Julio Jones was siphoning off so much work, because he 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.160 wasn't even available for most of those games. They just 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:31.080 didn't schematically go to A J. Brown that much. And 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.240 maybe it was because he was playing the chess knee 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:37.040 and hamstring injuries many times, but very frustrating for for 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:41.120 fantasy owners. With a j Brown, Let's go to Julio Jones. 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.160 I think that Julio Jones trade looks like a lose lose. 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.760 You know, the Falcons kind of needed him based on 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.559 what happened to their wide receiver group. Um, they didn't 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:52.800 have him, and then the Titans gave up the second 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:56.160 round pick and more to get a guy who really 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.079 didn't even help this year. He did not score a 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.319 touchdown until the final week of the season. Julio Jones 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.160 topped sixty two yards, which is not a high threshold. 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:11.120 Leo Jones top sixty two yards once went healthy, right, Yeah, 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.000 nagging injuries for Julio Jones all the time, which was 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.520 an ongoing problem and has continued to be now for 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.720 three straight seasons. By the way, now thirty three year 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:23.800 old Julio Jones, that's getting kind of ancient. I'm talking 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:27.040 wide receivers. I think I think Tennessee is a prime 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:31.200 candidate to spend some draft equity at the wide receiver position. 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.840 I agree, where there's certainly some enticing names out there 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.640 free agency, there's no guarantee Julio Jones on this team 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.560 next year. That might have been his window right there. 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:42.520 Let's take a break. When we come back, let's try 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:46.680 about Indie alright, plenty of controversy at the quarterback position 0:14:47.120 --> 0:15:03.920 and absolutely none at the running back position. Back in Moments, 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.440 segment number two Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Charchi and Brian 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:10.480 Johnson with you. Let's turn our attention to the Indianapolis Colts. 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:12.760 Where would you like to start? Is it? Do we 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.120 start with Jonathan Taylor? Consensus first, he will be the 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:20.640 first player taken in almost every fantasy league next year, 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.240 pretty much the consensus first overall pick in in one 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.320 quarterback leagues. Of course, a ton of impressive stats I 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.120 can throw at you. Uh, this one from Pro Football 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.440 Focus really stood out, though. Uh. The most rushing touchdowns 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:36.320 against eight plus man boxes or stacked boxes over the 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:41.000 last two seasons. Jonathan Taylor two, Derrick Henry twenty, Dalphin 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:45.520 Cook nineteen. Sop. Uh, Yeah, I mean he can only 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.440 he's certainly we're not sure if he's peaked. He might 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.280 can only get better, especially if they upgraded quarterback, bringing 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:53.920 another weapon at wide receiver to take some of the 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:58.640 attention off Jonathan Taylor, so taking him first, I can't 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.880 argue that whatsoever. Lock it in and think about your 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.280 round two pick. Taylor seems about as safe as a 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.280 number one pick as it can be. I hope that 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.560 doesn't chinx them too much. So yeah, nothing more to 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.600 say about Jonathan Taylor. Really not a lot to say 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.400 about wide receivers at the moment other than talking about 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.880 Michael Pittman. Just six touchdowns last year, but he was 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:22.760 top fifteen in catches and yards among wide receivers. I 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:26.520 think he has that wide receiver one potential, meaning he's 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:30.160 a you know, a top twelve wide receiver. Um getting 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.400 drafted right now is you know, like wide receiver twenty 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.480 seven twenty eight. I like the value as of right now. 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.160 And Michael Pittman, I mean he's a monster in the 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.240 in the red zone and in the end zone six 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:43.000 four like two thirty, set all the physical attributes you're 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.960 looking for. So I'm buying buying into Pittman. And as 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:49.280 for the Indie's wide receiver to uh, not on roster 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.120 as right now, it's not No, I don't think I 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:56.080 think Tylton's dap on it. It's it's not former favorite 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:59.280 sleeper of the show, Paris Campbell. Unfortunately, it never helps them, 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:02.120 never healthy. It's not Zach Pascal, it's certainly not Ashton 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:07.040 Doulan or Desmond Patton Patton Munn. Sorry, So, so nothing 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:10.040 more to say about the wide receivers for the Colts 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.480 at this time. Then it's kind of the same way. 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:16.160 It's just there's no lead tight end. Well, there's runways 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:20.160 that Jack Doyle might retire, which would make mo Alei 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.479 Cox a whole lot more interesting, But they've got this 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:25.680 uh kyl and grantson kid who they like who was 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.600 a rookie last year. So even if Doyle retires, it 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:30.840 still feels like there's gonna be this annoying platoon a 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:34.720 tight end for the Colts. So pretty much the position 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:36.880 is irrelevant from the fantasy perspective right now. But we'll 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:39.280 see what happens with Doyle. If he does retire, then 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:43.159 my interest is peaked with Moiley Moiley Cox, But as 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.359 of right now, nothing much to say, And really is 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.840 there much to say about Carson Wentz. I mean, we 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:52.080 can talk about it if he's gonna be the quarterback, Okay, 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:53.639 it's a good chance he won't be based on what 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:57.240 they're saying. But and I know Wentz makes big mistakes 0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:00.919 and big spots that people hate, but dude, through seven 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:10.400 interceptions last year, I think touchdowns seven interceptions, I mean, 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:15.280 definitely great ratio. He wasn't bad. People act like he 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:17.879 was terrible. I don't think he's I don't think. I 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.480 don't think Carson Wentz as bad as he was. He 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.600 was an adequate fan or reality quarterback. It's the fantasy 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:26.560 players who were saying this guy sucks because just three 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:30.360 games with two seventy plus passing yards, that's not great. 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:34.399 Jonathan Taylor. They played to their strengths and that's probably 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:36.920 what we're looking at this year. So really, Wins is 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:40.359 a guy if he stays on the Colts. Uh, clearly 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.480 a backup from a fantasy perspective, But and really, for me, 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.120 probably one of the last ones I would want. I'd 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:47.720 probably rather take a chance on a rookie or Yeah. 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.440 So that's it for Carson Wins and that's it for 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:53.280 the Colts. Okay, let's go to Houston. New head coaches 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:57.920 Lovey Smith an uninspired higher I believe, with a dismal 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:00.320 track record as a head coach, but an awesome beard. 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.080 Now the beards, the beard is amazing, one of the 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:06.160 best beards out there. Yeah, for sure. Um. His offensive 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:11.200 coordinator is Pep Hamilton's, who I did not like as 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:14.119 the offensive coordinator for Andrew Luck. As you may recall, 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:19.080 I nicknamed him who Hamilton's at the time he was. 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:23.200 But in fairness to Pep Hamilton's who gets to be Pep? 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.280 He gets to be Pep until proven otherwise. He was 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.880 with Justin Herbert two years ago for his explosive rookie year. 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.680 Last year passing game coordinator for Davis Mills and Houston. 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:38.320 They kept him on and why not. Davis Mills is 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:40.400 one of the great success stories of the draft from 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.240 last year. Speaking of keeping him on, they better keep 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:47.040 Davis Mills as a quarterback with Let's go right to it. 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:50.320 He was the third round pick and despite only starting 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:54.879 I believe it was fourteen games in college. I think 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:57.159 it was just fourteen games at stamp Stanford. That was 0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:00.000 it he got. And again they threw him at actual 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.480 right away because David Tyrod Taylor got hurt in week two. 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:04.520 They had to bring him in and the plan was 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:08.480 to rest Mills because he was so green. So they 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:12.080 played Mills for five or six games, and then when 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:15.240 Taylor came back, they went to Taylor, but Taylor only 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:18.360 lasted three games. They went right back to Mills. And 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.719 I really want to focus on Mills the rest of 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:25.960 the way. His average game after returning from that point 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:28.320 forward this week fourteen through eighteen. So we've got a 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:32.800 five game set two hundred fifty one yards and almost 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:36.320 two touchdown passes per game. Over the final five weeks 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:41.640 of the season, Davis Mills was quarterback ten. How about that? 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:44.520 And think about the thing about the quality of player 0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:48.520 around him. The offensive line, the receivers was scraps. He 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:52.080 had no running game nothing. Mills is not a runner. 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:54.359 I'll mention that with That's something if you didn't already know, 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:59.400 we learned this year. Unclear how high of an upside 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:02.520 Mills had as because he played a little in college. 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:04.520 He plays, he's played so little at the NFL level, 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:07.600 He's had so little help around him. The upside could 0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:11.359 be way higher than what we've seen so far. The 0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:15.120 upside here could be a top ten fantasy quarterback down 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:17.520 the road. Yeah, I mean, we've seen quarterbacks go away 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:20.000 later in the draft that turned out to be superstars. 0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:22.280 We could start with Tom Brady. I'm not calling Davis 0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:25.360 Mills and a third round quarterback, and certainly we've seen 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:28.920 undrafted quarterbacks turned into a Bible fantasy assets. So yeah, 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:30.919 I'm a big fan of Davis Mills as well. I 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:32.320 really hope they just give him the keys and let 0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:34.879 him go. I test just he the dude. Can the 0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:37.360 dudes a baller? He's kid, His arm is good enough 0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:40.080
