00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation,

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: and whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show. Now,

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: here's your host, Paul. It's a combined edition kind of

6
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: a Fantasy Football Weekly on Paul Charchie and my host

7
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson. Hello, what's up charge? I wish I was

8
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: at the combine with How was it? I was there midweek?

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: It was It was great. It was very busy. It

10
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: was just like the old combines and in many ways

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: even busier than the previous ones. And I thought maybe

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: COVID and everything, and I knew a bunch of people

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: who weren't going. A lot of my industry friends weren't there,

14
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: so it's really weird. There wouldn't be a lot of

15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: people there, but they were there. There was There was

16
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: great overall from a just speaking about, you know, fantasy

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: relevant rookies. How excited are you for this class, because

18
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: like I feel like six months ago it was No,

19
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: it's not a great class. I'm a little more excited

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: than I was a few months ago. There are some

21
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,919
Speaker 1: good receivers, and we're gonna break these down really into

22
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: into April. We've already got all planned out April. We're

23
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: gonna be breaking down with the positions. Some really good receivers,

24
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: I think tight ends, pretty bad quarterbacks, pretty bad running backs. Okay,

25
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: and we'll we'll have plenty of guys that we can

26
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: talk about, you know, in those about those positions when

27
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: the time comes. But yeah, I got some good dirt

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: and you know, some insight into a few things, and

29
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's it's always fun. But the focus of

30
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: this show, like the focus of the last show, is

31
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: we go back through one of the divisions and we

32
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: highlight key elements for every player in that division. And

33
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: this week NFC East. Now, the goal here is not

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: to recap the season you already know, because you already

35
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: know about that, but hopefully to shed some insight that

36
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: maybe you know when you're deep in the weeds playing

37
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: it every week, there's some stuff that you just maybe

38
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: don't realize uh is happening in how you have you

39
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: chance to reflect on a full season with all these

40
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: players and speculate a little bit into what's going on

41
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: next season. Let's do it let's begin in the end.

42
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: We're doing the NFC East this week, the NFC least. Yeah,

43
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: it really is. There's some bumber teams in here. That's

44
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: the reality football. There's plenty of good fantasy stuff. Yeah, exactly.

45
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: Let's start with the Philadelphia Eagles. Yeah, start when the

46
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: Eagles will start with their quarterback as of right now,

47
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. Rumors always seem to be swirling like he's

48
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: gonna get traded or they don't trust him as their starter.

49
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: But they shouldn't trust him yet he has not earned

50
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: trust yet. I don't know. I'm with you there. Um,

51
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: one player has amassed four thousand passing yards and one

52
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: thousand rushing yards through their first twenty career starts. I

53
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 1: want to guess that is Apparently it's it's Jalen Hurts.

54
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: And guess what, He's only started nineteen games too. So

55
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: I finished his QB ten last year with basically just

56
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: one wide receiver. It was a rookie, Devanta Smith. We'll

57
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: talk about him in the second. Uh. You also have

58
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: the fifth most rushing touchdowns with ten, and that's among

59
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: running backs. Uh. So Philly Shirley will pad the receiver

60
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: position through free agency, the draft, or both. So I'm

61
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: buying Jalen Hurts. I think he can get better. I

62
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: don't think he's peaked. I don't know. I know you're

63
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: as as my worry is as a passer, I don't

64
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: know how much better he can get, and hopefully he

65
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: can um. But if he doesn't, man, I'm just I'm

66
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: nervous about his his long term prospects of just even

67
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: retaining the job if his passing doesn't get better. True,

68
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: but I mean in fantasy football though, that rushing floor

69
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: it was so safe and give him such a high ceiling.

70
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: So I'm still in on Jalen Hurts. It is not

71
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: a guy who I'll be fading. Uh. Speaking of that

72
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: one wide receiver we mentioned, Davante Smith led all rookie

73
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: wide receivers in airy yards per reception last year over

74
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: twenty three His a dot average depth of target was

75
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: a massive fifteen point two yards, nearly one and a

76
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: half yards more than Jamaar Chase. So big play potential,

77
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: sir there for Smith. On the downside, he didn't give

78
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: you the big play. Yeah, he had some very bad weeks,

79
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: which makes him more appealing in best ball formats. But

80
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: I think we do see some more consistency this season,

81
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: especially if Philly or when Philly brings in fresh blood

82
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. I don't think that's gonna hurt Devanta Smith.

83
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: I think it's only gonna help him more. And of

84
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: course it all depends on the arm of Jalen Hurts.

85
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: But uh again, I for one think he can improve

86
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: as a pass or so Davante Smith. Another guy I'm

87
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: gonna be targeting in draft this year, but not as

88
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: much as I'll be targeting tight end Dallas Goddard, who

89
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: didn't post eye popping numbers last year, but he had

90
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: Zach Hurts for six seven weeks in there as well,

91
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: and he was He was hurt a little bit, missed

92
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: a couple of games, but the underlying metrics very impressive.

93
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: For Goddard average two point two yards per target in

94
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: PPR leagues. He was second in yards per per reception

95
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: at fifteen, first in yards per route run. He led

96
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: all tight ends and completed area yards per target. The

97
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: only problem was he only saw seventies targets. That's why

98
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: the numbers weren't there. But again, there was the Earth's

99
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: effect um and even and what but what if this

100
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: team gets better at wide receiver in the off season,

101
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: which I think there's a good chance they do, I

102
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: think that can really only help Godard maybe because I

103
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: mean he was probably the primary focus for defenses, either

104
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: him or Vante Smith. So and you know when and

105
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: when zach Ertz got traded, Yeah, that cleared up targets

106
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: for Goddard. But it kind of it's a shock to

107
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: that offensive system, I would think, because they were really

108
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: like a two tight end offense and all of a

109
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: sudden they were one tight end offense. So now they

110
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: got all offseason too kind of build their offense around

111
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: Goddard hopefully, who again only at seventy six targets when

112
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: you're talking about guys like Mark Andrews and Travis Kelsey,

113
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: they saw twice that, if not more, and all those

114
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: metrics I just mentioned, he was well ahead of Travis

115
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: Kelsey and Mark Andrews and all those crazy at tight

116
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: end seven. Right now, I'm where he's roughly getting drafted

117
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: right now. I'm big on Goddard, who has the top

118
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: three tight end potential this year if he sees the volume.

119
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: So I'm liking Goddard, but not like in the running

120
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: game too much in Philly. Miles Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell. We'll

121
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: talk about these two really quick disaster season for Sanders

122
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:12,679
Speaker 1: last year less than one thousand combo yards, zero touchdowns UM,

123
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: but he only played twelve games. He was dinged up

124
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard and Boston Scott altered lots of opportunities, especially

125
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: line um. So I don't know Miles Sanders, he's fallen

126
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: into in these very early drafts, like the ninth tenth

127
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: round range. So he's kind of a nice some value there, yeah,

128
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: in both redraft and dynasty formats. But don't sleep on

129
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: Kenneth Gainwell, who certainly flashed at times last year. Not

130
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,799
Speaker 1: you did score five rushing touchdowns on just sixty eight attempts,

131
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: average four point three yards per carry. He's kind of

132
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: the go to receiving back as well, and that offense.

133
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: So runners, runners have an opportunity to get better in

134
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: year two. And we've seen it a lot where you know,

135
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: there are rookies that come out at running back and

136
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: they don't they don't do much, and you're two. You's

137
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: usually you know, that's where you see for most backs,

138
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: that's that's sort of your your last chance to really

139
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: show in the NFL, although there are exceptions, and it's

140
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: an offensive line. Philly, they got a good old line,

141
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: so uh yeah, that's the Eagles, and people are asking

142
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: what about Jalen reagor, don't ask about he is dead,

143
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: although it'll be his third year, right, and sometimes receivers

144
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: come to come to life in the third year, but

145
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: usually usually not when they're as dead as he's dead.

146
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: The Washington Commander's first time I've talked about the Commanders

147
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: the Commander. Yeah, it still feels weird, and it's such

148
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: a bad name. Man so uninspired. Look at what the

149
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: Seattle Kraken did by going an offbeat, unique name. People

150
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: are like, you can't. They've they've selling the most merchandise

151
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: in the NHL because they have a cool logo and name.

152
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: I gotta go on a real quick mini rant. Not

153
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: not the Commander's logo, but like their crest that will

154
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: be on they put for the Super Bowls they won.

155
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: They put the year where the game was played Sea,

156
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: which is not how anybody acknowledges there are Super Bowl wins,

157
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: and the fans are upset. I mean, it was such

158
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: a massive oversight that that is weird. Isn't it. I'm

159
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: not even a fan and it bothers me, But yeah,

160
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: people are pissed in U in the belt Way about that.

161
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: Let's start at the quarterback position. Taylor Heinik had zero

162
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: or one touchdown pass in eleven games, and he was

163
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: particularly ineffective after Week four. Once defensive coordinators got some

164
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: good tape on him. He had a pretty nice little

165
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: run in like weeks one, two, three, four, and then

166
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: just the wheels came off and he was a very

167
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: ineffective quarterback. After week four he was Fantasy quarterback twenty one,

168
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 1: which meant that, you know, most weeks you were by

169
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: a mile better off not starting him than somebody else.

170
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: His scrambling, he's he's got, he's got pretty good wheels,

171
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: but he scrambling was very anemic. The average just seventy

172
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: yards and zero rushing touchdowns after week four. Um, he's

173
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: gonna be a free agent. Ran Fitzpatrick won't be retained

174
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: and Washington is clearly in the market for a new

175
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: quarterback next year. Russell Wilson DeShawn Watson in play draft

176
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: in a rookie, We're gonna go one of those. The

177
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: problems gonna be Washington might be the least compelling destination

178
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: for any free agent quarterback who can control his own

179
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: destiny because of all the turmoil with that team right now, Well,

180
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: Wilson's willing to go there like well, that's the word.

181
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: It's not defendive. I don't know about that. I don't

182
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: think I don't think anybody wants to go to Washington

183
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: right now. All right, let's talk about Terry McLaren, who

184
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: suffered under Heineke. He slumped all the way to wide

185
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: receiver thirty seven after week five. From week five forward

186
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver thirty seven, he scored just two times the

187
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: rest of the way, and that put him behind guys

188
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: like Kendrick Bourne and Devanta Smith and Marquez Callaway. Come on,

189
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: you're Terry McLaurin. His stats from last year weren't that

190
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: different than the year before in total stats. But we

191
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: all expected him to do far better and really improve

192
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: on year two into year three, and it just didn't

193
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: come together without Stuberd there and Taylor Heineke throwing him wobblers,

194
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: and it just never it never really came together. Still,

195
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: McLaren's obviously got loads of talent, and if the commanders

196
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: can find themselves a quarterback, then there's some real upside

197
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: to be had in McLaren. Next year, mclauren's in that

198
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: like cursed group of like Andre Johnson and Alan Robinson,

199
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: still amazing great receiverscking right, uh, And there's no other

200
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: good receivers on this team. Diamie Brown was a total

201
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: washout in his rookie season, just twelve catches. Maybe he

202
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: sparks next year, but we got nothing from him this year.

203
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: Kurt and they didn't even put him on the Brown

204
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: he was on the field. He was inactive most many games.

205
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel injured throughout the entire season, starting in training

206
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: camp and lasting all year or long. It was this

207
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: last year. It was his first year into his thirty

208
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: four million dollar deal. Oh, he caught just six passes.

209
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: Six passes for Curtis Samuel. He was hurt a ton though,

210
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: he was hurt a ton. So I mean to me,

211
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, like last pick of your draft, you could

212
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: throw a dart at him and see what happens. I've

213
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: got I've got interested in the later rounds if they

214
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: upgraded quarterback, if he stays healthy, I think he could there.

215
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: But there's there's still I gotta believe there's still some

216
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: of the talent that we saw in his last year

217
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: in Carolina. Alright, Logan Thomas tight end injured all season.

218
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: Just a reminder if you forgot, he tore his A

219
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: c L and m c L in December, So we

220
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: don't even know if Logan Thomas is gonna be ready

221
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: for Week one or what point during the season he

222
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: would come back and be effective there. Um Ricky Seals

223
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: Jones is a free agent, but they like their other

224
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: their rookie from last year, John Bates, who flashed a

225
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: little bit when Seals Jones was hurt and Logan Thomas

226
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: was hurt and they had to go to Bates give

227
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: him more time. He flashed a little something. I think

228
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: they'll let Seals Jones walk and assume Bates can can

229
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: fill in and be the backup if it turns out

230
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas isn't ready to go. But I liked about

231
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas when he was healthy. Was he was playing

232
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: literally the snaps with a tight end. Yes, the healthy one.

233
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: So if if he can stay healthy, he's another guy

234
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: who's got undervalued. Right now, let's go to the running backs.

235
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: Intonio Gibson. He had a hundred yard ten touchdown season.

236
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: When I say d yards and ten touchdowns, you're like, hey,

237
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: that's that's a pretty good year. But why didn't it

238
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: feel like Antonio Gibson had a better season. It's because

239
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: he was an erratic performer and unpredictable, and it was

240
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: very hard to know when you were safe putting him

241
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: in your lineup and when not to. He succeeded against

242
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: some very hard run defenses when some people reasonably would

243
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: have benched him, and he flopped against some really bad

244
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: run defenses. And the past catching really never developed like

245
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: we thought it would in the off season. We had

246
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: spent much of the offseason talking hawking ourselves into a

247
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: reduced role for j D. Mckissa, for a guy who

248
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: knew increase a wide receiver basically in college too. We

249
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: thought we we thought he'd come together more. He hit

250
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: one hundred rushing yards just once, and one of them,

251
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, just two times, and one of them was

252
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: in Week eighteen when nobody was playing fantasy football. That's Gibson,

253
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: and four of his ten touchdowns were scored in December,

254
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: and at that point you may not even been in

255
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs. He did have a shin injury. He played

256
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: most of the season on that shin injury, and he

257
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: never really this season looked his dynamic and elusive as

258
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: he had in twenty the year before. Brian so Gibson,

259
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: I think, um is, I believe he will fall out

260
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: of the top two rounds in many drafts next year

261
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: based on what we saw last year. Yeah, he's going

262
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 1: from what I've seen, it's literally, of course late second release,

263
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: he's going. He's more of a mid mid three. I

264
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: think that sounds right. JD. McKissick was a spot starter,

265
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: and then you know he was a spot fantasy starter,

266
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: not starter for their team. He may not remember he

267
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: finished with a concussion of Week twelve and that was

268
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: the end of his season. And I you know, I

269
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: you never knew what to do with mckissa He was

270
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: just like a dark throw by week guy. And um,

271
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see whether or not they decided

272
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: to retain his services. Let's go over to the Cowboy Cowboys,

273
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. It looks like we're gonna have a little

274
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: shake up at the wide receiver position. Yeah we will.

275
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: I'll get there in a minute. Let me just get

276
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: let's make it a dack out of the way. We

277
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: don't have to dive too deep into dak Uh somewhat

278
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: of it down here for him statistically, but he was

279
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: fourth h fourth most passing touchdowns with thirty seven, the

280
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: same amount as Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers. Uh. He

281
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: did go under underwent shoulder surgery this pass offseason, but

282
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: it's not his non throwing arm should be fine. They're

283
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: roughly going around QB six and drafts right now, but

284
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: still has that quarterback one potential even if the Cowboys

285
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: offense undergoes a bit of a makeover, which it likely will.

286
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that and then in just a minute.

287
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: But uh, let's talk about a guy who will definitely

288
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: be a Cowboy this year. Mass Ceedee Lamb. Even though

289
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: there was some Arizona rumors swirling a week or two ago.

290
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: You didn't buy into that either. Uh speak down years,

291
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: oh Lamb. People were expecting a top five of top ten.

292
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: I was, and I think I think I had him

293
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: ranked right around ten going into the season. Yeah, wide

294
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: receiver twenty in PPR. So he he under exceeded everyone's expectations. Now,

295
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: can you under exceed when like, am I making this word?

296
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: But it makes sense, it does um. But you know,

297
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: I think Ceedee Lamb could be this year's version of

298
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. Now he's not getting drafted as late as

299
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: Cup was getting drafted last year, but he's still falling

300
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: into the late second, early third round right now. But

301
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: that's still good value for a guy with overall wide

302
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: receiver one potential. But here's the key for him to

303
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: do it. They gotta use him in the slot more. Um.

304
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: He checks all the boxes outside that He's got the size,

305
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: to speed, the talent, a good quarterback got off a

306
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: good offensive line. Lamb only took a third of his

307
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: snaps from the slot last year, and I'm saying we

308
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: at least double uh those snaps from the slot of

309
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: him this year because his biggest games came when he

310
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: saw at least sixteen snaps from the slot. Uh nine

311
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: catches a hundred forty nine yards, two touchdowns against New England,

312
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: two touchdowns against Atlanta, seven for one oh four and

313
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: a touchdown against Tampa Bay. This is are in games

314
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: where he was seeing significant snaps from the slot, and

315
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: that a lot of that tied to win. Gallup was

316
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: healthy or not. You know, Gallops much is was traditionally

317
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: more of an outside guy, and they would move Lamb

318
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: more into the slot when Gallup was on the field.

319
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: But Gallup missed most of the season or half the season,

320
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: so that was that ended up pushing Lamb outside more.

321
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: And I'm with you, I just think he's a natural

322
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: slot received. Yeah, I'd like to see him using the

323
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: slot a lot more because hey, that's where Cooper cup plays,

324
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: right for the most part. Um, speaking of Michael Gallup, Uh,

325
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: and Mark, let's talk about tomorrow. Cooper, right, so he's

326
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: basically gone. It's not even a rumor. It's just there's

327
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: a fact they can't afford. And I caught him. They

328
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: mismanaged that this all goes to Zeke's contract. That's like

329
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: ruined everything. Like but now they're just gonna let Cooper

330
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: walk when they could have at least tried to trade him.

331
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: To be clear, they tried to trade him. They were

332
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: no takers. I'm sure they were. Their offers are They're

333
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: asking price was way too high? Remember what they gave up?

334
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: Was it not two first rounders to get him, Marie Cooper?

335
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: I think it was two first rounders? Yeah. Jones is

336
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: not very good in the front office, So we're gonna assume,

337
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: not even assume Cooper is gone. But that's gonna clear.

338
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: And Michael Gallup is an unrestricted free agent as well,

339
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: so Cedric Wilson, Uh yeah, I think Wilson is going

340
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: to be there. Um Gallup kind of on the fence.

341
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: The weird thing with Gallup is he he blew out

342
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: his knee late in the season. He waited like a

343
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: month to have the surgery. He just had the surgery

344
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, so I don't know if

345
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna be ready for the start of the season.

346
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: It wasn't an a c L, was it. There was

347
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: mcl okay, a c L is worse, right, But either way,

348
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: he waited like six weeks, which was kind of bizarre.

349
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: It's like, just get it over with. But really, I'm

350
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: most excited about Cedric Wilson knowing that Cooper is pretty

351
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: much gone. I don't know if Gallops could be ready

352
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: to start the season. And Wilson look great when given

353
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: the opportunity. Forty five catches, six hundred and two yards,

354
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: six touchdowns on just sixty one targets. Yeah, that's those

355
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: are hundred twenty, which is viable or feasible for a

356
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: wider season starting We're talking a thousand yards and potentially

357
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: double digit touchdown. So Wilson is a guy going very

358
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: late right now. I think he's gonna be climbing round

359
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: by round as we go up. Months like that comes

360
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: through the seasons, especially if Gallop is not going to

361
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: be a factor next year either or not on the

362
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,959
Speaker 1: team or because of because of the knee, and now

363
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: because of the cap crisis in Dallas. Another guy who

364
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: might not be Cowboy next year's tighten Tighten or this

365
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: year tight end Dalton Schultz. But I think now that

366
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: with the the Cooper news, I think they retain Dalton

367
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: Showed Schultz and hopefully they do because he thrived in

368
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: a full time role in Dallas. Was one of three

369
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: tight ends with at least eight hundred yards and eight touchdowns,

370
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,959
Speaker 1: the other two Travis Kelsey, Mark Andrews. Schultz was one

371
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: of six tight ends the top a hundred targets, finished

372
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: third and catches at the position with seventy eight, so

373
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: he looked great. He's comfortable in that offense. And as

374
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: for Blake Jarwin, not a concern when it comes to

375
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: Shultz is playing time. He's the guy now. The Cowboys

376
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: actually are saying they have concerns about Jarwin the hip surgery.

377
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: Had he's the first pro football player to ever have it.

378
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: They're saying only hockey and basketball players who knows how

379
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: he reacts to hip surgery. So don't be concerned with

380
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: the Blake Jarwin. If you're rolling up wanting to roll

381
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: into two with Dalton Shultz as you're tight end one,

382
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: he's another guy I'm liking. If you have, you fade

383
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: the big name tight ends in your draft. All right,

384
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: let's get to the running backs because we have it's

385
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: gonna be frustrating a lot of talking Ezekiel Elliott and

386
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard. Will this be the year that Tony Pollard

387
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: finally usurps? I'm done thinking that the Cowboys will do

388
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: the right thing here because we've been asking for it

389
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: for two years and it hasn't happened here. And we

390
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: all know Zeke is on the climb. But here's a

391
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: very very alarming stat. Elliott had fifteen carries of twenty

392
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: plus yards into fifteen carries of twenty or more yards

393
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: in what year? So all the way back to rookie year. Yeah, okay,

394
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: and that's three carries in that that year. But since

395
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: he's had seven four carries, he's only had ten carries.

396
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: Of yards is gone, totally gone. On the other hand,

397
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: hell yeah, average five point five yards for carry per

398
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. He graded better than Elliott as a rusher, receiver,

399
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: and pass blocker man and pass blocking was always one

400
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: of the big catches for him, for he was not

401
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: a good pass block The only reason they keep giving

402
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: Zeke more run is because they're paying him so much.

403
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: It's all about the money. So when Pollard saw ten

404
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: plus opportunities last year that's carries and targets, the Cowboys

405
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: were nine in one. When his opportunities were in the

406
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: single digits. Dallas was one in five. I mean, he's

407
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: there in front of you is to start Tony Pollard,

408
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: so hopefully they do. That's it for Dallas. We'll take

409
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: a break. When you came back, we'll talk through the

410
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: New York Giants with a new head coach, find out

411
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: back end. Oh yeah, and general manager and they both

412
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: have Bill's roots. Well, we'll talk through that team in

413
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: just a moment. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Chargie

414
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: and Brian Johnson with you New York Giants. Knett coaches

415
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: Brian Dable, who teams up with the Bill's former assistant

416
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: general manager Joe Sheen, who now runs the Giants as

417
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: their general manager. First order of business is Daniel Jones,

418
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: and it sounds like they're gonna give Jones yet another

419
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: in a series of final opportunities to prove himself as

420
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback. But here's why I'm kind of intrigued.

421
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: What if they us What if Brian Dable just runs

422
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: him like he ran Josh Allen? Brian, doesn't that get interesting? Now?

423
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is not nearly as good of a runner,

424
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: but he's not bad. He's not bad. He's not a

425
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: bad runner. What if they give him, well, unless he

426
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: runs like more right, he goes boom. What if they

427
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: give Daniel Jones six seven eight design runs a game? Yeah,

428
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: I mean that could be good for fantasy purposes, but like,

429
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,719
Speaker 1: you don't have to respect his arms as much as

430
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: you have to respect Josh Allen's. Well, so I don't know,

431
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: you might see that coming a little more, even though

432
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: everyone knows Josh Allen's we run the ball. But I

433
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: don't know I'm still soft on Jones. I'm not. I'm not.

434
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: I'm given where you'll have to where you'll take him,

435
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: and he will go undrafted in many leagues. Um, he

436
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: will go, you know, round thirteen fifteen as my third quarterback.

437
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: I'm really interested in Daniel Jones from just that angle,

438
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: and then if the rushing doesn't materialize, I'm just gonna

439
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: cut him and I don't care, I'll move. We won't

440
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: spend too much time on this, but I have heard

441
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: the Giants in the DeShawn Watson conversation, and they could

442
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: maybe Daniel Jones would certainly be part of that trade package,

443
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: So that would be interesting to see. All right, let's

444
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: go over to the too. Kenny Golladay, his absurd seventy

445
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: million dollar contract, just pounding the final nail in Dave

446
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: Gettleman's career as general manager. So many nails pounded into

447
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: so many cuts, and he's the guy who set up

448
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: every one of those nails and pounded him in. Um,

449
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: he wasn't. I remembered his season with him being hurt

450
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: all the time. Dude played a lot. He only missed

451
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: three games. He was on the field for fourteen games.

452
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,959
Speaker 1: This year, and he was so bad. He did not

453
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: score in the fourteen games. His average game two and

454
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: a half catches for forty five yards. That's not even

455
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: an average game. And in the other sense of the word, no,

456
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: it's not start of receiver. He finished his wide receiver

457
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: hold one next to Josh Reynolds and DeAndre Carter. I

458
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: don't even know what team DeAndre Carter is on, Washington, Washington,

459
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: think about that for Kennedy seventy million dollars, so Holiday,

460
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: obviously they he will. He will almost certainly be back

461
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: on the team. They don't have a choice. They can't

462
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: even work around the contract right now. He'll be back

463
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: with the Giants. He'll have to be a dramatically better

464
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: and more improved version. But I gotta believe that there's

465
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a ton of wariness since it's been two

466
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: seasons or two full seasons removed from him having a

467
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: meaningful fantasy. We could do a draft of bad contracts

468
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: in the NFC East. I think Holiday would be your first.

469
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: Then there's this guy who would be in the conversation,

470
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd, who has reportedly been asked to take a

471
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: pay cut, which tells you plenty about the season that

472
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: he's coming off of. He's slated to make twelve and

473
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: a half million this year. They can cut him and I,

474
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: as memory serves, that will not get that'll it'll his

475
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: cap impact will be about half if they caught him.

476
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: I think he will take the I think he will

477
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: end up having to renegotiate his deal. He missed half

478
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: the season. Shepherd hasn't played a full season since. He

479
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: was questionable constantly. He and every Sunday you didn't know

480
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 1: if Sterling Shepherd was actually gonna play or not. And

481
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: every Sunday morning you're like, Oh, he's in, but I

482
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 1: don't trust a lot of times he was out though,

483
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: kind of feel like you would play exactly. So get

484
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: this on Sterling Shepherd Week one, seven catches, hundred thirteen

485
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. Oh yeah, you looked like the

486
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: steel of your draft that point, You're like game on.

487
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: After that, his average game forty two scoreless yards. Sterling

488
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: Shepherd didn't score again and didn't have another one hundred

489
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: yard game the rest of the year. Ka Darius Tony

490
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: is the better talking point out of the wide receivers,

491
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: but even he was frustrating. He erupted in weeks four

492
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: and five, and if you combine those two weeks together,

493
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: Brian sixteen catch is for two hundred sixty seven yards.

494
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: He looked slippery, almost unguardable after the catch, and somehow

495
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,239
Speaker 1: the Giants never went back to him again. In the

496
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: rest of his games other than Week four and five,

497
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: he averaged three catches for Tony and he never scored

498
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: a touchdown all season. Darius Tony, Yeah, he he did

499
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: look special though when he was playing his hand. Now

500
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: he suffered a hamstring injury, a thumb injury, a shoulder injury,

501
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: quad injury, oblique injury, and an ankle injury. He got

502
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:38,719
Speaker 1: COVID twice. So if you take all that o ay,

503
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: you figure, if he can go through next season healthy,

504
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: if Daniel Jones and Brian Dable can stoke up something

505
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: resembling an NFL passing game, Tony's got some real upside

506
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: to him. And maybe last season with all those maladies,

507
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: the bad play, a coaching staff that was about to

508
00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: get fired, you know it's gonna suppress his draft value.

509
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: You and now, if you want to go roll the

510
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: dice on kid Darius Tony as your wide receiver four

511
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: in the eleventh round. You could do it. You don't

512
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: like having COVID prone players. We have, we've had injury prone,

513
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: but he's like the most COVID prone player in NFL history.

514
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: Blue won't have any of those. Evan Ingram's headed a

515
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: free agency and he will be gone. He's gone. Former

516
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: first round pick don Sa Kwon Barkley is the last

517
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: guy I want to talk and Kyle Rudolph they let

518
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: him go, so they got a wide open uh, which

519
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: which is intriguing. I would see who lands there. Uh.

520
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: You know, Table did good stuff with Dawson Knox eventually, eventually, eventually. Yeah,

521
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 1: all right, so let's talk s Kwon Barkley. UM general

522
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: manager Joe Shan says he's willing to trade Barkley after

523
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: an unproductive season last year. In the last season before that,

524
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: Barkley slated to make seven point two million this year

525
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: because it's that fifth year of your rookie deal where

526
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: if they lock you in, which gentleman did it this

527
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: time last year he locked in the fifth year on

528
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: st Kwon Barkley. Now they're obligated to pay him seven

529
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: point two million dollars. And now the new GM wants

530
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: out on that. Barkley, needless to say, had a bad season, Uh,

531
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: in part because the offensive line's had good there right

532
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: twenty first and run blocking by Pro Football Focus. But

533
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: even so, the explosiveness, the elusiveness. Man, I was watching

534
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: some of the se Kwon Barkley highlights his front while

535
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: I was at the combine, his combine runs his rookie year.

536
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: Dude was insane. He was so good. I will say

537
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: this blew out his a c l in like in

538
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: week two. So historically they say, you know, running backs,

539
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: even young running backs, takes like two years to like

540
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: fully come back. So and when he got hurt last year,

541
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: it was like a fluke ankle roll like he rolled,

542
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: he like stepped on his teammates, you know, something dealt

543
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: with for a lot of the year. People are pegging

544
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: him his injury prone, not COVID prone, but injury prone.

545
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: So I don't I think that's unfair. So I am

546
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: buying low Barkley's falling into like, oh, I'm sure second,

547
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: late second, early mid third round, and it's that high. Yeah,

548
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: and taking him in the second round by that, But

549
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: I mean, if he stays healthy and they improve that line,

550
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: which they can only improve. I think you still got

551
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: that top. I mean he was RB one in his

552
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: rookie season. I think you can still get back there.

553
