00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice.

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: All Right, what's up everyone, and welcome back to the

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: off season edition of Fantasy Football Weekly with your host

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: and faithful narrator, John mcgaza at John mcgaza, how clever,

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: I'll be here with our friend Jake Tembridge. Welcome long Jake.

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: How are you and how is the offseason treating you

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: so far? Friend?

9
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, I'm great, Thank you so

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: much for the lovely introduction. Second, the off season is

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: always treating me okay, John, especially at this point because

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: every week, basically at this point, we have something to

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: talk about. The dead zone is very, very limited in

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: the off season. I don't even think that there is

15
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: such a thing as the off season anymore. But after

16
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: the combine, we have the draft coming up and we're

17
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: in the thick of it, John, So I'm pretty excited.

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, NFL not trying to make way for MLB to

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: eat up any of those headlines. Things have been pretty

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: busy in the NFL streets, which is great for me.

21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 2: We're talking about this the other week on the show.

22
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: I'm really very much hand in the dirt analyst. I

23
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: play in every format. I feel like I play year round,

24
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: though this is my one quiet spot for football. I'm

25
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: generally going over my dad. We went over some meadow

26
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: last week. Player moves. I don't like to start drafting

27
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: until after the actual NFL draft because I feel like

28
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 2: it shakes up the snow globe so much. But people

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: are out there drafting, so we're gonna keep them fed.

30
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 2: I gotta ask, are you drafting in March? When do

31
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: you start?

32
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: I'm not drafting yet, no, no, no, all of my

33
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: leagues were, and I'm primarily into the dynasty streets at

34
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: this point. But even that, I like to wait until

35
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: after the NFL Draft. You're right, there has to be

36
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: some period of self reflection. I don't mean to suggest

37
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: that he's constantly running, running, running, but I will be

38
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: drafting in about a month's time.

39
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, rest of the weary. Tell that to the

40
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 2: best bowl djens out there, although I want to give

41
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: it up and a litle kidding aside, the work they're

42
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: doing is actually Yeomen's work because ADP now, because the

43
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 2: market is in a you know, dynamic state, right doesn't

44
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 2: stay static and dormant to be reawakened. It's always moving,

45
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: so I do have tip those people, though I'm not

46
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: drafting until after the draft. I love to see market

47
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: matchinations where these pieces start, where markets have initially settled,

48
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: but as the public kind of comes in and they're

49
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: gonna change. After the draft, things are gonna get shaken up.

50
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: Like I said, so let's get right into it. We're

51
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: gonna go position by position. I couldn't believe there's actually

52
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 2: news and or notes at every one of them. First one,

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: it's K one Arizona Cardinals turn around and release Kyler Murray.

54
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: I don't think it's too much of a right, Probably

55
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 2: not too much of a shock. But anytime one oh

56
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: one kind of guy gets released, someone's antenna is going up.

57
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: Last year, a bit more of the seam staying on

58
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: the field and issue by the numbers, you know, the

59
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 2: EPA stuff was good, point fourteen EBA per attempt. He

60
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: completed sixty eight percent of his passes. This is Murray

61
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: kept the off target rate right, attends All these really

62
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 2: above average, but six yards per attempt less than six

63
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: air yards per attempt not what we want to see.

64
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: The struggles to see over the line have kind of

65
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: been legendary. Now Murray is out. What do you think

66
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: about the move? I guess the first thing, Jake is

67
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: maybe ideal scenarios. Right, there's a bunch of more quarterback.

68
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: Where would you like to see him go?

69
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a few different spots that make a

70
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: lot of sense.

71
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: Or Tyler Murray.

72
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 1: I would suggest that maybe the Vikings, or the Dolphins,

73
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: or even the Jets, or how about this John And

74
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: the shocking turn of events, the Raiders do not take

75
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza at the one to one. They instead decide

76
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: to trade back and recalibrate their team, which is a

77
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: move that I think the Raiders should do. Anyhow, they

78
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: have too many holes to fill. One guy isn't gonna

79
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: do it. But if you can get a very very

80
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: cheap Kyler Murray because his former team is picking up

81
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: the tab, maybe that's an option for you. It's a

82
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: little bit like the Russell Wilson stint with the Steelers

83
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: a while ago.

84
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 3: He got paid all that money, then he got moved, but.

85
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: The new team didn't have to worry about that because

86
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: they weren't paying him anything.

87
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 3: So it's a little bit like that.

88
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,559
Speaker 1: I think, John, do any of those teams Vikings, Dolphins, Jets,

89
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: or my crazy pick of the Raiders do anything for you?

90
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 2: Well, I think the Vikings pick makes a lot of sense,

91
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 2: and it's got to be infinitely frustrating because they win

92
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 2: fourteen regular season games and decide quarterback not really that important.

93
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: We're gonna let Sam Donald go, He's not that important.

94
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: Fast forward again. Tier for my Jet fans out there,

95
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: right right, we already mentioned, you know, multiple busted first

96
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: round picks for the Jets that have actually gone on

97
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: and found some success. We may have to table that discussion. Hey,

98
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: production put that on the whiteboard. Jake Howard treating these

99
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 2: very you know, early pick quarterbacks and maybe the patients

100
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: that was once expressed in the league that now no

101
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 2: longer is right. Quarterbacks used to sit. Now they're thrust

102
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 2: it into it, not just throw it into the fire.

103
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: We expect them to produce or you could see, you know,

104
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: another jersey before too soon, which is really crazy, man,

105
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 2: k one of the Jets. I'm really hoping not, and

106
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: I'm kind of hoping not for the Raiders. You might

107
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: be right. I've always been the type that says, if

108
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: I can get the one oh one a QB, and

109
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 2: we think it could be an answer. Right, all the

110
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 2: teams that have tried and failed, K won one of them.

111
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: I think you take that shot. Though it's crazy enough

112
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: that the Raiders might just do it. I don't know

113
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: if I have a spot for Murray. I wouldn't look

114
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 2: to go there, though. I do think you make really

115
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: good points about it being an answer, right. It really

116
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: could be a potential answer. And anytime we change environments,

117
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: Gino one of those guys sometimes something clicks. It's something

118
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 2: in the training or coaching. So I don't mind that.

119
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: Speaking of Arizona quarterbacks, Boston Globe reports that the Jets

120
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: and Falcons are showing interesting persette. I guess he's out there.

121
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 2: Arizona hasn't locked him up. I don't know what their

122
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: plans are. Per set historically was fantastic for fantasy because

123
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: of all the volume last year. Geez, what do you

124
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: think about that move? Do you think emptying the QB

125
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: room might be jumping the shark a little bit? Kidding,

126
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 2: putting the cart in front of the horse, baby. I'd

127
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: like to have an answer, right, Jake. We say, if

128
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: you have two qbs, you have none. How many do

129
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 2: you have when you have none?

130
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: When you have none, maybe you have two. I guess

131
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if the universe is true or not.

132
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: The inverse property does an invested property.

133
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: Like I'm no mathematician or anything, I will say, yeah,

134
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: not only do you let go of Kyler, who I

135
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: do want to point out, he's one of two quarterbacks

136
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL to average two hundred and thirty plus

137
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: passing yards and thirty five rushing yards per game over

138
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: the course of their career. It's just him and Josh Allen.

139
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: So you already let him go. Okay, that's fine. You

140
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: want to reset Jacoby Brissett maybe as a bridge guy.

141
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: He looked Okay, Nope, not gonna do.

142
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 3: That either now.

143
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: If I'm going to stand up for the Cardinals here, though,

144
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: I will say that John Jacoby Brissett he did good

145
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: for fantasy last year because he threw so much last year.

146
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: They threw at the highest rate in the NFL. He

147
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: pretty much met the league average and most other important

148
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: stats though, except for on target percentage by the way,

149
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: which was.

150
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: A little rough.

151
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: And so I want to look for Jacoby's sake if

152
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: he goes to some place like I don't know, Atlanta,

153
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: where they do need a reliable backup, and they have a.

154
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 3: Good offensive line.

155
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: There's certainly a better offensive line than the Cardinals did

156
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: last year. I want Jacoby Brissett to go someplace and

157
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: help feed us for fantasy John's that's it. I want

158
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: Drake London to have a respectable quarterback to get targets

159
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: from Kyle Pitts if he sticks around. That's what I

160
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: want from Jacoby Brissett.

161
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,559
Speaker 3: But for the Cardinals, I don't know what I want

162
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 3: for them right now.

163
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Drey McBride is hopefully a little bit quarterback

164
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: independent and so we don't need to reach for the

165
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: moon with them. But I've been plucking my brain trying

166
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: to figure out somebody who goes to Arizona to fill

167
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: in in this situation.

168
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: I don't know that I have a good fit.

169
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: John. Yeah, And even with all the love we got

170
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: out of Bresset, it's not like they were winning games

171
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: that were historically bad down the stretch. So there's actually

172
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 2: quite a few pieces up in the air that really

173
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: highlight the difference between real life football and fancy football.

174
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: Like so, for example, the Cardinals were always throw heavy

175
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 2: Murray last year in a little bit we saw from him,

176
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: he'd dropped back thirty eight point eight times per game,

177
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 2: Brisset just thirty nine point two. But Murray was good

178
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: for one hundred and ninety two yards opposed to preset

179
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: it to forty. Right. But but but what also matters

180
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 2: when it comes to quarterback stuff, Jake, of course, would

181
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 2: be the running Murray, despite just putting up a fraction

182
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: of the passing yards, put up very similar fantasy points

183
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: per game fifteen point six two percent sixteen point one

184
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: because he can run, so it almost doesn't matter for fantasy.

185
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: You gotta have one or the other. I think that's

186
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: really it. You either have to have volume passing or

187
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: you have to have some semblance of running. But if

188
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: a team is not great and an offense is not great,

189
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: it's not gonna matter. But if your defense is really poor,

190
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 2: that will get you the pathway to the volume. These

191
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 2: are just some of the things we're gonna be talking about.

192
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: Let's get out of the desert. Definitely worth keeping an

193
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 2: eye on. I don't know what Arizona has up their sleeve,

194
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 2: but of course quarterbacking is going to affect all the

195
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 2: other pieces downstream. I mean, that's pretty obvious. On to

196
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 2: running backs. My Jets are in the news. When I

197
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: was on air a couple of weeks ago, I actually

198
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: was thanking bree Hole for a job well done. I

199
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: didn't think the Jets were in a position to you know,

200
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: not so much add but Retaine premium running back help.

201
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: That always feels like more of a luxury pick. Jets

202
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: very bad right now though, maybe a quarterback away, this

203
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 2: same mystery quarterback away from winning. I was wrong as always.

204
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 2: Jets turn around with the franchise tag on Briee, so

205
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: he's gonna get paid. So I guess, does it do

206
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 2: anything for you? Where does he go? I guess, Jake right,

207
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 2: because we want to be putting these things in fantasy terms.

208
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: Bries Hole right now is pick thirty in those live markets.

209
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do think it's important to call out that

210
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: just because they use the tag does not mean he's

211
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: a Jet now, he's a Jet in the future, He's

212
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: a Jet for the next. However, this can be still

213
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: a way to get from a to be four teams.

214
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: I will say sometimes it's for the teams who don't

215
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: know a better path and maybe aren't the best negotiators

216
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: who kind of fall into this trap a little bit.

217
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: Bries Hall, if he really sticks if he really sticks around,

218
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: it is weird because it's not necessarily the position you

219
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: should focus on when you're in a situation like you

220
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: were last.

221
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 3: Year and maybe the year before that.

222
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: But bries Hall, to his part, I mean, he did

223
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: log his first thousand yard rushing season in his fourth year.

224
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: That's great.

225
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: It's also the lowest targets per game of his career

226
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: last year, just a nine percent target share. That put

227
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: him in Cuba Hubbard territory basically, and that was with

228
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson, as you know, missing most of the season

229
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: and the Jets basically filling out their depth chart with

230
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: whoever was browsing the Farmer's Market that morning. So you

231
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: would have expected him to see a little bit more

232
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: work in the passing game. That's all I want to

233
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: see out of him. I was hoping that Hall would

234
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: go someplace else where. We kind of knew they would

235
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: utilize his pass catching a.

236
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 3: Little bit more.

237
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 1: But now I'm kind of worried we might see more

238
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: of the same, especially as you mentioned, if if we

239
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: don't have a real solution at quarterback, yet we have

240
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: no idea what's going on at quarterback. So maybe it

241
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: was the offensive coordinator. Last year it was Tanner rings right.

242
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,599
Speaker 1: I've always said John never trust someone named Tanner to

243
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: run an NFL team, an NFL offense, and I stand

244
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: by that Tanners do a lot of things well, But

245
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: I just if you're listening, Tanner's at home, stay away

246
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: from offenses. So I do hope that there's some change

247
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: at least on the horizon, but it's pretty shaky for

248
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: me right now.

249
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: I was trying to think of a Tanner that I

250
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: gets mentioned as catching astray, but I couldn't. So maybe

251
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: you're actually onto something. Now. You make a great point

252
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: kind of about the limitations that we got, and I

253
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 2: think contextual environment is always going to play that role.

254
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: With that. With that, can the Jets be this bad again?

255
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: I'm sure the quarterback, right, I think they let oh

256
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 2: fields even they're gonna change QB. So the quarterback play

257
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 2: just horrific if you're unfamiliar with I do want to

258
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: work in the betting space also, where I think these

259
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: macro numbers and differentials really come into play, and again

260
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 2: those are gonna affect your running backs downstream Jets were

261
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 2: just the worst in average point differential. They averaged below

262
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: two hundred and sixty five yards a game on offense

263
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: that was you know, bottom three, four point four yards

264
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: of play, almost one hundred yard net differential. Just everything

265
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: is just as poor as it could be, you know,

266
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: bottom three and first downs per drive, bottom three and

267
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: points per drive. So I think the the excuse case

268
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 2: for briest Hall is pretty much built in. Did this

269
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 2: guy went out and I think gave you pretty much

270
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: a Pro Bowl effort. Regardless, he topped two hundred fantasy

271
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: points of the season, which again very hard with a

272
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 2: terrible team fifteen rushers a game you mentioned, he topped

273
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: one thousand yards. All the efficiencies off not great, but

274
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 2: yards before contact per rushes aligned to that they weren't good.

275
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 2: He did have a forty eight percent success rate and

276
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: a nine percent explosive rush rate. Four hundred yard rush

277
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: games for the fantasy players to get bonuses out there,

278
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: and then double digit teen target chair and nearly ten

279
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: yards per catch. Hole. I think is still Hanshtag, very

280
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: good at football and probably a steal in the third round.

281
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: And remember ADP is just a range. If he starts

282
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: creeping where you know that thirty becomes a thirty seven

283
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: and it's somebody's fourth pick. I'm taking Breis Hall maybe

284
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: automatically in the fourth round. J could you buy what

285
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: I'm selling here on Breee.

286
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that context makes it a lot easier to swallow.

287
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: The days of Breece Hall is like this back of

288
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: the first round early second round guy where he's so

289
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: excited to get Yeah, I have him. Obviously that's gone

290
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: and that's okay, and that's understandable. Yeah, if we're talking

291
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: about the third round, though, I'm still comfortable from a

292
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: volume perspective because they use that tag. I don't see

293
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: any reinforcements coming in behind Brees Hall that's gonna siphon

294
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: away touches. I love Brailn Allen. I'm a UW University

295
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: Wisconsin guy. I love me some Brailan Allen. He wasn't

296
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: doing anything last year, Isaiah Davis whatever. There will always

297
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: be somebody to take touches away. But I feel very

298
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: comfortable in the amount of work he's gonna get regardless.

299
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brillan Allen. By the way, he pick one seventy

300
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: five right now, which is also was a pretty good

301
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: serve up for this because I think when we're thinking

302
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: about running backs right now, he's best ball season. But

303
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: even as we approach redraft, I like to account for

304
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: handcuff price in my you know selection some running backs

305
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: that are almost pure running back by committees, you have

306
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 2: to concede immediately, Jake, you're not getting the handcuff. You're

307
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 2: not getting the compliment. That was the deal with Tennessee

308
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: last year. There's a lot of these backfields where you

309
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 2: have to pick one you're kind of not getting the

310
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: other unless you're gonna double tap, in which case you're

311
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 2: spending a seventh and eighth round pick, which is probably

312
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: a little too expensive to not get two starters. So

313
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: I think that is another little boost for the briefs

314
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: whole argument, because you get him and you kind of

315
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 2: pick up, you know, the spare at the at the

316
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: very end we were talking about second round, third round picks.

317
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: That brings into our next guy. Now ken Walker is

318
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: not being tagged by Seattle, and I guess he's gonna

319
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: test a running back market. I was one of the

320
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 2: people that was back in ken Walker early on last

321
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: fantasy season. Funny because I'm gonna be talking about this.

322
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: At some point I was all over Tony Pollard and

323
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: Ken Walker. Weeks one through fourteen. I was firmly taking

324
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: the l right ol for love. But you're gonna have

325
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: the season by the end of the season. These were

326
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: the guys to have right By the time it was

327
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: all said and done, Man, you want a Tony Pollard

328
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: If you're picked him up with Weavers, he might have

329
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 2: won ye A championship. And in the playoffs we saw

330
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 2: how great Walker could be without, you know, the compliment

331
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 2: of Charmoney nipping out his heels all the time. A

332
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: lot to talk about with Ken Walker. He's opening up

333
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 2: at edp Twenty nine, So right off the bat without

334
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: a home, do you like Walker against Hole? Where would

335
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: you like to see him go? And just go from there,

336
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 2: because again there's a lot of uncertainty, but Chas is

337
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: a ladder in this game of hours.

338
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 3: It really is.

339
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 1: And I do think with Kenneth Walker, the important context

340
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: is what you just talked about, was Zach Charbonet Because

341
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,239
Speaker 1: we knew you knew, certainly John Kenneth Walker, it's a

342
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: really good running back. Maybe we should give that guy

343
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: the ball a lot more. And then the Seahawks said,

344
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: not so fast. We're gonna give Zach a chance, even

345
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: though Zach does not look nearly as good as Ken

346
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: does in a fairly large sample size. The expectation for

347
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker, then, at this point in the offseason, is saying, okay,

348
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: if the Seahawks aren't gonna give him the thirteen or

349
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: fourteen million that he wants, and they're gonna be kind

350
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: of cheaping out on him and only give them ten

351
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: because goodness forbid that a running back actually gets paid

352
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now. But if that's gonna happen,

353
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: what's the likelihood that he goes someplace and controls the

354
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: backfield versus splitting the backfield fifty to fifty like he

355
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: did with Charbonet.

356
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: I don't think the odds are that high that he splits.

357
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: I think coming off of the Super Bowl with the MVP,

358
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: it gets you a lot, certainly in terms of dollar signs,

359
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: but it also gets you a little more credit in

360
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: how much you can handle from a backfield. So if

361
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: he goes to the Vikings who dropped Aaron Jones, they

362
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: have guys there that I'm fine with, right if one

363
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: of them takes up the Mantle.

364
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 3: It's fine.

365
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: They don't have a Kenneth Walker, so if he goes

366
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 1: to Minnesota, that's great. But also, I know we do

367
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: this every year. I hate to do it, but we're

368
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: contractually obligated until the day that we died John to

369
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: talk about a high value running back going.

370
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 3: To Kansas City in the offseason. It never happens.

371
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: But maybe this year it could actually happen, especially because

372
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: they freed up some cab space they sent Trey Trent

373
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: McDuffie over to the Rams. Maybe maybe this is the

374
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: year that we actually see Walker land in Kansas City,

375
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: in which case, I mean sixty five to seventy percent

376
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: of the share seems about right for him, and then

377
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: he's very much worth where he's going in drafts.

378
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 2: Man, I was looking for this. I had a really

379
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 2: good source for salary caps. Okay, I think I just

380
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 2: stumbled on it. Even with the move from Kansas City.

381
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: I don't think they're in I don't think they're in

382
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: a good spot. Casey was in like one.

383
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 3: Of John let us hope.

384
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 2: I don't know they were in. They were in a

385
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 2: Although this is funny because and I mentioned you have

386
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 2: to preface all the stuff with one, I'm not a

387
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: cap ologist. Two the lawyers and people behind this stuff,

388
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 2: and the freedom to defer. I don't want to mean

389
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: to say it makes these numbers useless, but I know

390
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 2: for a fact Kansas City was bottom three in cap situation.

391
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: After that move, they actually jump up to number twelve,

392
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: so they are in a positive situation and maybe they

393
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 2: are in line to get that. I can't believe how

394
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: much one move Ken I'm glad I wasn't too definitive

395
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 2: on these things, because that's all it takes is a

396
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: star player can approach the front office and re re

397
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: kind of jigger all the AAVs and create space now

398
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: from Buddy later, which again makes a lot of sense

399
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 2: for guys that are getting paid to King's ransom already.

400
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 2: So maybe I guess I'm open to dream on that

401
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 2: ken Walker last year, man, it's really something because he's

402
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 2: very much split. It is the continent Spider Man, Jeff Here,

403
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: Ken Walker and Sharbonda. Let's say we go Walker Comma Charbonna.

404
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: Fantasy points on the year one ninety one eighty one

405
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 2: fantasy points per game, eleven point three eleven point three

406
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 2: fantasy points per snap point forty one to point thirty nine.

407
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 2: I mean they split snaps, they split everything was really

408
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 2: so close. Walker was a little bit better before contact Charviny,

409
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 2: believe it or not a little better after. I think

410
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: he had a breakaway run or two. Walker does have

411
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 2: the explosive stuff. What we thought though was I mean

412
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: not all of us thought it, but the coaches were

413
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: trying to tell us, at least through actions, that Walker

414
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 2: was not as effective in the pass game. That was

415
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 2: reflecting in the box score until Sharbone goes down and

416
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: Walker that run. At the end, He's catching three four

417
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 2: balls at a time at San fran four for thirty

418
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 2: six versus the Rams playoff three for twenty nine versus

419
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 2: the Pats playoffs four for forty nine. All of a sudden,

420
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 2: Ken Walker with everything we already knew about him, with

421
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 2: the added element of being a pass catching back. I

422
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: think I like him overhaul because I'm in agreement with you,

423
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 2: who's going to give this guy the bag and all

424
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 2: this money fro him to split work. I like to

425
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: think the free agent running back is the luxury piece

426
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 2: I mentioned, But because he's putting a team over the top,

427
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 2: we never project thirty five touches a game, but all

428
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 2: bitch of dollars to donuts, whoever signing him for X

429
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: millions of dollars has it too in front of the attempts. Right,

430
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 2: it's gonna be twenty combined touches, you know, carries and targets. Man,

431
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: I'm wheels up on Walker. I think that twenty nine

432
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: feels cheap, and if he goes to a really great spot,

433
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 2: I think that price increases. Would you agree with that

434
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 2: last party?

435
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: I think it increases. I don't know how much room

436
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: there is to increase it, though. If I'm being completely honest.

437
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hold you to task down. Hold on, sir,

438
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 2: and sir, she break feak, breaking news, bringing b b

439
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: b BBB. Walker signs with the Chiefs. You don't think

440
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 2: he goes in the second.

441
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: Round, second yees, second round absolute.

442
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he can get into the high second

443
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: round or late first round. So there's wiggle room for

444
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: sure from twenty nine. But again, I don't know once

445
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: we start. There's so many names, though, John, You start

446
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: looking at the running back rankings and there's so many names.

447
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 3: Where you go, do I really want Walker?

448
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: Do I trust that Walker is gonna get enough targets,

449
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: because yes, we saw it towards the end of the season,

450
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: but maybe that was an illusion. Right, We've got the

451
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: main guys. We've got Gibbs, We've got Vjon, We've got

452
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: still eight Chan presumably even without Mike McDaniel there, we

453
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: certainly have to at least even think about guys like

454
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: Chase Brown. At that point, I could see him late

455
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: leapfrogging Chase Brown. But that's the tier of running back

456
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: that I think we're gonna have a lot of, and

457
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna get really tricky as we get further into

458
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: the offseason to decipher those.

459
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking at ADP. You nailed it. I'm symponica

460
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 2: with you there on the tier with Brown. However, as

461
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 2: far as real ADP goes, in case people are unfamiliar

462
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 2: with your second round backs and is right at the

463
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 2: turn with genty, then they have Hampton fifteen, Jeremiah Love sixteen,

464
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 2: without a Home, Barkley seventeen, Henry twenty. I'll tell you

465
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 2: what I think. I like the versatility of a ken

466
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: Walker in a good spot more than like any of

467
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 2: the old backs, especially a guy like Henry, you know,

468
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 2: who is not really catching passes, and if we get

469
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 2: the healthy Lamar that may stunt the pass catching even more.

470
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 2: And he's getting older eventually those tires are gonna run both.

471
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 2: Not that I don't like to put the negativity in

472
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 2: the universe, but you know, there is a part of

473
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 2: the game we play that would put that would put

474
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 2: Walker in an optimal spot at like pick twenty. Again

475
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 2: we're at the back of the second So yeah, I

476
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 2: think that feels fair. Which again, if you're buying what

477
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 2: we're selling of the luxury pick and a good team

478
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 2: bringing him in, maybe there's some value because right now

479
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 2: twenty nine there's gonna be some people who are reeling

480
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 2: him in as they are third place play man. That

481
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: feels great. I love that availability. Again, right cast is

482
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 2: a ladder, there's an uncertainty around the hall. Who's in

483
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 2: the quarterback. I think he can move up with a

484
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: good quarterback pick and the scene for Walkers. That's pretty great.

485
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 2: But it actually took up a little bit more time

486
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 2: than I thought. So I want to get to the

487
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 2: one big move today that's probably the headline move by

488
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 2: importance would be DJ Moore. So that came down the

489
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 2: news feed this morning. Buffalo gets the wide receiver one archetype.

490
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 2: We've all been dreamcasting on them for so long. However,

491
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 2: Jake the trade not really getting the roses it might

492
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 2: have deserved. A lot of people talking about overpaying. This

493
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 2: may be a conversation for another day, but let's dive

494
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 2: into it. Buffalo gets DJ Moore and the upcoming fifth

495
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 2: of Chicago who gets Buffalo? Second feels like a lot

496
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 2: of draft capital. We've seen a lot of second round

497
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 2: wide receivers impact the game immediately. So that's why I'm

498
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 2: kind of doing the little vocal fry thing because if

499
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 2: this was if you were so helpenty're getting yourself a

500
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 2: wide receiver, why don't you just draft on? Maybe they

501
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 2: don't have the confidence if of the key on Coleman, Boss,

502
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: what do you think about the more move?

503
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it is a self evaluation freeze on their parts,

504
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: saying that even though this is supposedly a fairly deep

505
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver class in terms of there's no big standouts.

506
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: There's a small tier of guys at the top, but

507
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: there is some depth there.

508
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 3: And they're just saying we're going for the proven asset.

509
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: I don't mind it, John, and I don't care about

510
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: how much they spent necessarily to get him. But I

511
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: do wonder because Buffalo has this history where they bring

512
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: in a veteran that's on the tail end of their

513
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: prime and they think they can kind of reinvigorate them,

514
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: snap them back in. It's Josh Allen, so make them

515
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: look like a superstar. And yes, sometimes that can happen,

516
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: But Amari Cooper in twenty twenty four that didn't have

517
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: They brought in Brandon Cooks. They brought in Curtis Samuel,

518
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: not guys that were to the level maybe of DJ Moore,

519
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: although I'd argue Brandon Cooks had been close throughout his career.

520
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: I just I don't want to project the moon for

521
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: DJ Moore because I've been hurt too many times before.

522
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be fun. It's it's giving

523
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,719
Speaker 1: somebody consistently, hopefully for Josh Allen besides Khalils Shakira, and

524
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: for that we should be appreciative. But beyond it, I'm

525
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: not jumping DJ Moore up into the top you know, fifteen,

526
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: or maybe even top twenty of my wide receiver rankings.

527
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, right now, I don't know how often this ADP

528
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 2: kind of refreshes to capture the newest movement. I'm gonna

529
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 2: keep an eye on that. More was down in the

530
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 2: nineties now. I think that probably reflects his role in

531
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 2: the Chicago offense, which funny, it's an offense where Bullshawn

532
00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 2: generally that he ran thirty three routes a game, and

533
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: he played though targets were eliminated, it was only five

534
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 2: targets a game for forty yards. You know, fifteen percent

535
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 2: target per route is really not great because there's so

536
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 2: much talent here and whenever you get these you know,

537
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 2: eight D chess playing genius coordinating coaches, which is good

538
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 2: for everybody, right, the pie grows, it can't hurt some

539
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 2: players sometimes, and fantasy analysts generally find themselves frustrated because

540
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 2: that coach is looking to counter punch the attack of

541
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 2: the defense opposed to force feeding the star, right, the

542
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:38,479
Speaker 2: caveman kind of approach when it's work sometimes time. So

543
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 2: I think Moore is gonna move up, all right, let's

544
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: play a little ADP chicken here. I'm gonna I'm gonna

545
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: start giving you where. I think More is gonna move

546
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 2: up because I think as a role as a number

547
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: one guy now with a role change. He's got to

548
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 2: move up. So if he moves up into the seventies,

549
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 2: he's next to Parker Washington, Ricky Piersoll. Do you, I'm

550
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 2: Michael Wilson, do you like him better as of Josh

551
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 2: Allen's one than those guys?

552
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, I should say I like Parker Washington

553
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: actually a fair bit, and I think he's being slept.

554
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: On because of the situation.

555
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 2: Yep, we don't for all.

556
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: Of that, though, but I will say I think that

557
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: I would still take Dj Moore just above the two

558
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: of them. I'll be curious as you start going up,

559
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm gonna get much much higher.

560
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think right, once you start scratching your chin,

561
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 2: you're probably getting close to the answer. Because once you

562
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: get to pick fifty, it's Joe and Waddell and then

563
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: Luther Burden, right, the other bears counterparts that now are

564
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: going to benefit from, you know, addition by subtraction. So

565
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 2: I think fifty feels too hot, right, and seventy feels

566
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: too cold, So let's go right in the middle. Sixty

567
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: is Courtland Sutton, Okay, Like I can buy that another

568
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 2: one on a team with maybe some flaws. It's Brian Thomas,

569
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 2: which I think I would probably rather go at Parker

570
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 2: Washington of a Brian Thomas right now apples to apples.

571
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, okay, so let's let's place met sixty before

572
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 2: we get out here. We're gonna call this a a

573
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 2: tie in because we did mention Buffalo bringing in veterans

574
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 2: one guy did work when it worked with Stephan Diggs.

575
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 2: Patriots turn around and released Stephan Diggs. I'm shocked, bewildered,

576
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 2: and be fuddled because I thought when they brought him

577
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 2: in after the injury, the idea was We're gonna slow

578
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 2: play Digs into an ascended offense, get him familiar with

579
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,479
Speaker 2: an ascendant quarterback with you know, MVP. Hopes all that

580
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 2: stuff happened, New England makes their run. They turn around

581
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 2: and send Diggs packing. Now I don't need I'm I'm

582
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: like the spreadsheet guy, but I don't want to start

583
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 2: quoting all the stuff on the spreadsheet ja, because what

584
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 2: we got from Diggs when we took the deal on,

585
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 2: I wasn't assuming a said alpha production. The thinking for

586
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: myself was twenty twenty seven was the year, right, That

587
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: was the year when one plus one equals three the

588
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 2: healthy digs with the repetitions and another year of may

589
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 2: growth and progression continuity. Look at me doing all the

590
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 2: eight d chess again. Go play the loser tremone sound

591
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: wah whah whah. We're not gonna get any of that.

592
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 2: So I guess it's what do you think about the

593
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 2: new England passing situation? And what do you think about

594
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 2: seven diggs? Do you think there's any guests left in

595
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 2: the tank? We're all the arts sometimes these you know,

596
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 2: these coaches and coordinators, as much as they lie to

597
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: us for their teeth every time they talk when they

598
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 2: make roster decisions, that's their honest feeling, right, So talk

599
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 2: to us about digs and they move for the pats.

600
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I interpreted this move not even to be

601
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: about what he put on the field last year so

602
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: much as what is happening off the field for him

603
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: right now. I think there's too much that's happening off

604
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: the field that's too uncertain, there's too much controversy, and

605
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: folks listening, you can certainly do a quick Internet search

606
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: to see all of the details. I won't get into

607
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: all of that, but I think that was more of

608
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: the cause for them dropping him. Now, could somebody else

609
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: go ahead and scoop up Stefan Diggs, who's a little

610
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: bit more willing to absorb all of that controversy. Sure

611
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: the Browns are still there. They are known for vacuuming

612
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: up red flags every offseason, and so this could be

613
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: no different than that. And if he goes to a

614
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: place like that, I'm sure he will have a defined

615
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: role because he did look pretty good on the field,

616
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: especially at his age. I was expecting much more of

617
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: a drop off than we got from Stefan Diggs, especially

618
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: with the injuries and all that stuff. So I think

619
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: it's a bummer for Drake may because I really wanted

620
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: him to have a consistent pass catcher from year to

621
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: year that was not Hunter. Henry Hunter. Henry can only

622
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: do so much for you. I don't care how good

623
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: you are as a young quarterback. So maybe this means

624
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: to Patriots are really gonna go draft heavy for wide receiver.

625
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: Maybe a guy like Casey Concepcion ends up. If they

626
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: don't spam defense with their first pick, maybe they draft somebody.

627
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: Maybe they add I don't know, Romeo Dobbs into the mix,

628
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: and free agency there has to be some greater idea

629
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 1: beyond this. At least you would hope for New England

630
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: because otherwise they put their QB in a pretty rough spot.

631
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's gonna be a pass catching plane here. Again,

632
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 2: this is part of why I'm not drafting, because there's

633
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 2: so many things to deal with here. They need key

634
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 2: Shambouni look like a superstar at points. You gotta get

635
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 2: some word receiving talent in here. Let me just highlight

636
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 2: just how good Diggs was, just how efficient and excellent

637
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 2: he was. Let's be careful throwing the baby out with

638
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 2: the bafota to hear people, Diggs is ADP. I think

639
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 2: he's north of one thirty. Yeah, he's closer to one forty.

640
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 2: And for these numbers, but he only ran twenty four

641
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 2: and a half routes a game. That's a sub seventy

642
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 2: percent participation. You're starting to border on like secondary option here.

643
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 2: He went over one hundred targets, he went over one

644
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: thousand yards, over twenty four percent targeted route, over two

645
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 2: point four yards per route, twenty one percent of the

646
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 2: team target share. And we're starting to see the thing

647
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 2: that I find most important with these aging elite veterans

648
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:23,280
Speaker 2: are guys that are able to become adaptive in the slot.

649
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 2: Diggs was not only used in the slot, he was

650
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 2: excellent in the slot. He ran more than thirteen routes,

651
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: earned three targets for two and a half, catches more

652
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 2: than twenty five yards, and four scores from the slot alone.

653
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 2: Those few points, Right, it doesn't sound like Munschie two

654
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 2: and a half catches twenty six yards. Right, there is

655
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 2: five fantasy points right in the corner of a touchdown.

656
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 2: We're talking over five fantasy points just kind of baked

657
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 2: into the cake and all these really high probability throws.

658
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 2: So I think whoever gets Digs is a winner in this.

659
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 2: I think whoever's drafting Digs right now at his current

660
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 2: ADP is a winner because I think wherever he goes

661
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 2: he's pretty much gonna get a boost. Jake, that was

662
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 2: really awesome. I hope you had fun on our first

663
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 2: On our first go round, We're gonna get to in

664
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 2: some more detail. Sean Tucker is in the news, Mike

665
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 2: Evans was in the news. John Smith's in the news.

666
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 2: But we'll pickle that up every single week. We'll be

667
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 2: here from John and Jake and everybody had fantasy football

668
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 2: weekly Enjordia Games. Enjoy the day and when you're done

669
