Speaker 4: Hey, guys, how are you doing?

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 5: Hey?

9
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 3: Hey, it's drafting season pud right now. Not as good

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 3: as last week when we are all in person having

11
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 3: a few beers, having a great time, but nevertheless, this

12
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 3: isn't half bad. Joined by our producer Robbie Rosenhaus, we

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 3: appreciate all the work that he puts into this. We've

14
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: got a great show coming up today. We're going to

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 3: go through all the key training camp notes over the

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 3: last week or so, in case you missed anything. We're

17
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 3: gonna talk about auction strategies. We don't do enough auction

18
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 3: talk in general, little dillotine strategies. We're going to talk

19
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: about the hardest decision we're making in every single round

20
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: of the draft, well at least the first ten rounds

21
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 3: of the draft. Thors can help walk us through a

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: rookie dynasty Draft, and we're going to show you what

23
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: the public is doing for the first two rounds, and

24
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 3: thor will tell us what you're getting right and what

25
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 3: you're getting wrong. And we'll go through a segment we

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 3: did last year for the first time called cooked or medium. Well,

27
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 3: these are older players, find out if they're completely cooked?

28
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: Are they still have got a little bit left to give?

29
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 6: That?

30
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 3: Three tough questions sleepers. So much to get to over

31
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: the course of this show again, Fantasy Football Weekly. We're

32
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: delighted you're joining us. We jump right into our training

33
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: camp notes and we begin with I believe Scott you

34
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: are up first. Sure, why not? Let's do you first?

35
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 5: Sure, let's start with the doll who traded for Darren

36
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 5: Waller earlier this year to replace the John of Smith roll.

37
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 3: If you're in a.

38
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 5: Deeper league and looking for tight end help, he is

39
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 5: now off the pup list. I don't know how much

40
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 5: I'm targeting him, but that's the news out of Dolphins camp.

41
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 3: All right, Thorpe, Let's go to the Bills.

42
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 6: The news there that has been interesting for me to

43
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 6: monitor is that the key on Coleman flashing thing. I

44
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 6: don't know that I believe it Keon Coleman, the one

45
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 6: trick pony, the downfield guy.

46
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 4: Ball skills lead his game.

47
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 6: The other stuff he's never gained separation that the route

48
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 6: running and some of the finer points the wide receiver position.

49
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 6: I'll believe it when I see it on Sundays. But

50
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 6: it is worth noting that they say he is flashing.

51
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 3: We're we're going to talk more about him later in

52
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 3: this show. You can get go to the Jets. Yeah,

53
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 3: Rookie Mason Taylor looks like the opening day starting tight

54
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: end for the Jets. In Justin Field's eighteen snaps of

55
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 3: the starting offense, Taylor on the field for thirteen of

56
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 3: those eighteen and he got zero looks with a second

57
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 3: and third team offense. So it looks like Mason Taylor,

58
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: it's gonna be your starter for the Jets. Let's see Scott.

59
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: Let's go over to the Eagles.

60
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 5: Queer John Metchi this week. I don't know if that

61
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 5: has much fantasy, but if you need a backup quarterback

62
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 5: for Hurts or need to keep your eye on something,

63
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 5: Tanner McKee is having an incredible preseason and he's the

64
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 5: one to watch in a you know, dynasty league or

65
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 5: a deeper league for Jalen Hurts, his backup in a

66
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 5: potentially very high powered offense.

67
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: Even with McKee, I'm really glad you brought that up.

68
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: So I'm watching Eagles preseason games and I'm saying to myself,

69
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: this kid's making NFL starter passes right now, Tanner McKee's

70
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: got a little something there, And to me, this news

71
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 3: just makes me feel that much safer about taking any

72
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 3: part of the Eagles passing game right or all the

73
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: players thor let's go over to the Cowboys, give me

74
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 3: give me an update from Dallas.

75
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 4: On the fantasy side of things.

76
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 6: We'll stay away from the Michael thing for this show,

77
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 6: but on the fantasy side of things, George Pickens has

78
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 6: been crushing in camp. And this has been a consistent

79
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 6: drum beat through the Dallas Cowboys' training camp is that

80
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 6: George Pickens looked really good. They're really excited about George Pickens.

81
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 6: So some of the people who have been optimistic about

82
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 6: George Pickens, it's more good news.

83
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 3: Excellent Patriots. I've got these a little bit out of sequence,

84
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: and I apologize for that in terms of the divisions,

85
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 3: and that's that's on me. Travon Henderson has looked amazing,

86
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: but and we're going to talk more about him later

87
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 3: in this show. There are there is some downside here

88
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: that we'll want to talk about for Travon Henderson. But

89
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 3: I think he's flashed as much as any player, any

90
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: fantasy relevant player in the entirety of the NFL over

91
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 3: training camp. Travon Henderson. We'll talk more about where you

92
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 3: might be targeting him in your draft so little later

93
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: in this show. Let's go over back to Scott for

94
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 3: the Panthers.

95
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 5: At this point, the title of this show has to

96
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,119
Speaker 5: have flashing in it for some reason. Everybody's flashing. Everybody

97
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 5: flashing over on the Panthers side, Teto McMillan is dealing

98
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 5: with a hammy for the Panthers. Those can leaners, so

99
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 5: keep an eye on it. But he's not expected to

100
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 5: miss week one or anything yet.

101
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 3: All right, that's good news right there. How About by

102
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: the way, speaking of flashers, like you know, like the

103
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: old school flashers, the naked people that would do some

104
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: sporting event. It's onways some dude. Nobody wants to see

105
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 3: the dudes flash. Nobody true, you know, it's never some

106
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 3: hot chick that flashes. Ever, it's always some schlubby, drunk

107
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: guy thor Washington Commanders, give me an update. You may

108
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: have news, may.

109
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 6: Have some breaking news here, and I'm going to shove

110
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 6: together the forty nine ers with us. The commanders today

111
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 6: traded Brian Robinson to the forty nine ers for a

112
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 6: six round pick.

113
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: Uh.

114
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 4: The the obvious.

115
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 6: Winner here and that the news is actually Jacory Krossky

116
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 6: Merrit Bill Krossky Merrit, who now assumes the de facto

117
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 6: RB one job, I mean Austin Eckler in that backfield

118
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 6: is going to remain doing the stuff he was doing

119
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 6: last year, that the passing down back and they have

120
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 6: talked about Chris Rodriguez as the goal line guy. So

121
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 6: it is something that bears mentioning. Like obviously Jarey Krofsky

122
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 6: Merrit is skyrocketting up draft boards. It will be even more.

123
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 6: That'll be even more of the case after today. But

124
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 6: do keep in mind we haven't seen a lot of

125
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 6: pass catching from him. The PPR folks out there. Austin

126
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 6: Eckler again going to keep that role and then if

127
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 6: Rodriguez vaulted some of his touches. But very excited about

128
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 6: Jacory Krofsky merrit and earned and then on the San

129
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 6: Francisco side acquiring Brian Robinson.

130
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 4: Here why why did they have to do this?

131
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 6: After months ago they traded Jordan Mason essentially for a

132
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 6: fifth round pick to the Vikings because San Francisco their

133
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 6: rookie running back, Jordan James, has been out for most

134
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 6: of camp injured. That was the guy that they took

135
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 6: with their draft pick in April. That Patrick Taylor is

136
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 6: on injury reserve with the shoulder injury. Isaac Garndo just

137
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 6: came back to camp, but he had a shoulder injury,

138
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 6: and then of course Christian McCaffrey's coming off of his

139
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 6: own injury, so he felt like they needed to fortify

140
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 6: that backfield little bit, get a little bit of insurance.

141
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 6: You would assume that Brian Robinson is going to step

142
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 6: into an RB two role there, but he's gonna need

143
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 6: an injury ahead of him, obviously to Christian McCaffrey, to

144
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 6: be fancy relevant this fall.

145
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: We'll talk more about the Commander's running back situation a

146
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: little bit later in this show. We'll go over to

147
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 3: the Giants another I think the biggest story has been

148
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: rookie quarterback Jackson Dark, who's looked good and the box

149
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: scores look good. But also looking through all his preseason passes, Oh,

150
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: that's a perfect Jackson Dart sound right there. We might

151
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: be using that a lot more. It's a lot of

152
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: short stuff, a lot of short passing. It's at right

153
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: at the line of scrimmage, behind the line of scrimmage,

154
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: yard ahead of line of scrimmage. And so when you

155
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: see these gaudy completion numbers, just know that he's not

156
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 3: thrown a lot of the lasers downfield. But maybe this

157
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 3: is all confidence boosting time, and overall it's still been

158
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: a really nice preseason for Dark. You can see a

159
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: real scenario developing perhaps later this year where Giants have

160
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: got like three wins rolling into November and they just

161
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: let Dark get some starts, and you know, you can

162
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: see that, you can see you can see the future

163
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 3: coming for Jackson Dart. I believe. Let's continue with news

164
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 3: out of training camps, including the Saints. Scott.

165
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, the QB competition is still completely undecided. Spencer Rattler

166
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 5: will start the next preseason game, and the Saints also

167
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 5: in an attempt they say to get younger acquired twenty

168
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 5: seven year old un Bailey in a clear attempt to uh,

169
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 5: you know what, I don't know what they're doing. It's

170
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 5: a clear attempt to hisself, I don't know what they're doing,

171
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 5: to be honest, just no, no clue.

172
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 6: That was an on trade. That was an odd trade.

173
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 6: It kind of reminded me of that. And Baila is

174
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 6: a better player than this, but it reminded me a

175
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 6: little bit of the Jonathan Mingo trade a couple of

176
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 6: years ago, just like an out of left field overpay

177
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 6: for a receiver like and especially with that profile how

178
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 6: old Bailey is, Like, I can see the Saints being like,

179
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 6: we want to getet more receivers, Like, we're not come

180
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 6: to both our receiving core. But you're tanking this year. Well,

181
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 6: that pick you just traded is essentially a late third

182
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 6: round pick. I don't know that Beyle justified that cost.

183
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 3: All right, let's go over to the Buccaneers. Unfortunately, Jalen

184
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 3: McMillan wide receiver, suffered a serious neck injury. He's going

185
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 3: to start the season on ir His timetable to return

186
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 3: looks distant, and that is yet another reason to move

187
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 3: Amika Eggbuka up your rankings as I have done, I

188
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: think I've got it. Buka sitting right now somewhere around

189
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: wide receiver twenty seven. It's been a just steady climb

190
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 3: up the rankings so far.

191
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 5: And Chris Godwin also pulled off the pup, but that's

192
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 5: just so they can get him to practice early.

193
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 3: They still expect October. Yeah, it's it's going to be

194
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 3: long term and he'll have lost his job doing Buka

195
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 3: by that time, and then Godwin will come back and

196
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 3: play out of position and blah blah blah. Don't like

197
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 3: don't like his outlook very much, Scott, Let's go to

198
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 3: the Jaguars.

199
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: Uh.

200
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 5: Travis Hunter is still not practicing with that upper body injury,

201
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 5: but they said if there was a game, say this weekend,

202
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 5: he would play if there was an actual game, but

203
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 5: they're taking it precautious with him.

204
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 3: All right, sounds good. Thorpe Colts update.

205
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 6: The Colts name Danel Jones the starting quarterback. Anthony Richardson

206
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 6: demoted down to QB two. I think the real news

207
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 6: here is it's wheels up time for Tyler Warren, who

208
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 6: will talk about the rookie tight end. We'll talk more

209
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 6: about him later in this episode. But yeah, to me,

210
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 6: that's a big takeaway for the Titans.

211
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 3: It looks like rookie receiver Elic Iomannor is going to

212
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 3: get significant work early in the season. Last weekend, Iomanner

213
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 3: played ten of eleven snaps with the first team, more

214
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: than any other receiver, although Ridley and Lockett didn't play.

215
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: But still the fact that he got all those first

216
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 3: team reps very promising. I think Lockett's going to be

217
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 3: the team slot receiver primarily, and Iomanner getting reps on

218
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 3: the outside potentially as a starter for the Titan.

219
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 5: I believe he was also Brian Johnson sleeper at the

220
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 5: Live train Ye show last week.

221
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you for listening. We appreciate that, Scott, I believe.

222
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 3: Next up with the Bengals. Sure T Higgins.

223
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 5: You may have seen left practice with an ankle injury

224
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 5: this week, but he did return and he is practicing again,

225
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 5: so maybe something to monitor. But if you saw the

226
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 5: first report and didn't see that he came back, he's good.

227
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 3: All right. Let's go over to Detroit Thor.

228
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 6: Jamison Williams was was out there cooking Derek Stingley Junior

229
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 6: and their their joint team practices.

230
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 4: And Jamison Williams have been looking good in camp.

231
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some depth there, right, So you know, like

232
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 3: the fact that that's a you know, that's an opportunity

233
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: to salvage a situation if you need to. You know,

234
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 3: we saw Winston fucking breakout. Yeah, we saw Winston save

235
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: the Browns to some degree last year after Deshaun Watson

236
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 3: got knocked out in Houston. It looks like Joe Mixon

237
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 3: will not be ready for the start of the season

238
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 3: with that foot injury. He could end up on the

239
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 3: pup list. Nick Chubb and Damian Pierce getting your first

240
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 3: team reps in practice. And we should also note rookie

241
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 3: Jaden Higgins has effectively won that outside starting spot opposite

242
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: Nico Collins. Next time may be cooked. I don't know.

243
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 3: We should talk about this later, yeah, I mean yeah,

244
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 3: maybe we should. That be a great idea. Players who

245
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 3: are cooked are merely well done. Joe Mixon coming up, Scott,

246
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 3: I believe. Speaking of the Browns, the Browns are yes.

247
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco named the Star.

248
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 5: He was lights out a couple of years ago when

249
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 5: he was with the team. Rookie Isaiah Bond also will

250
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 5: make his preseason debut off the field is she has

251
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 5: kept him out of camp, but it's mostly just Flaco

252
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 5: named the starters. The big news there, yeah, and good news.

253
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 5: I love that after the fantasy players on that team.

254
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely don't have to endure a learning curve from

255
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 3: a rookie quarterback. Yep, I've nudged all my Browns have

256
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 3: just been nudging up all preseason. Let's go to Chicago,

257
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 3: thor what's new there.

258
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 6: Kyle Manogai, the rookie running back, is nicked up right now,

259
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 6: hoping to get him back healthy soon. We were a

260
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 6: little bit intrigued by Kyle manonguy the batfield situation there

261
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 6: with Ben Johnson not having.

262
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 4: Sorted itself out.

263
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 6: Uh Church and I we bringing people behind the curtains

264
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 6: of the preseason game. We were texting about Kaylem and

265
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 6: on Guy's pass protection.

266
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 4: He's so bad.

267
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 6: He struggled on a couple of reps in that preseason game,

268
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,599
Speaker 6: but was better in college at Rutgers, so hopefully he

269
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 6: can he can turn that around. The Bears did kick

270
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 6: the tires on Brian Robinson. They they did talk to Washington.

271
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 6: Obviously they couldn't end up getting it there, so that

272
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 6: makes it all the more important that Kyle and on

273
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 6: guy come back healthy. And then the only other thing

274
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 6: I wanted to toss out is Luther Burden has been

275
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 6: getting more reps and he's been getting criticized by his

276
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 6: head coach publicly less, but he remains behind officially behind

277
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 6: as on the depth chart.

278
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Zakias could be a problem. I mean that guy's

279
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 3: getting praise all training camp long, and he's getting reps

280
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 3: with first teams and Zachaus and Burden, it might be.

281
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 3: It might be a long time before Burdon is getting

282
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: reliable snaps over the course of the season, even though

283
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 3: he looks really good. Vikings may need to make a

284
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 3: move at wide receiver. Jordan Adison. Of course, three game

285
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 3: suspension to start the season. Jalen Naylor, who would have

286
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 3: been his backups, got a hand injury and he's not

287
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 3: expected to be ready for the season opener. The wide

288
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 3: receiver depth chart gets real thin, real fast. In Minnesota.

289
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 3: You're right now, if they had to start somebody, Lucky

290
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 3: Jackson would be a starting wide receiver for your Minnesota Vikings.

291
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 3: Let's go over to Seattle.

292
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 5: Scott reports out of Seattle are that Zach Sharboney is

293
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 5: going to have a significant.

294
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 3: Role in the offense this year, which is.

295
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 5: Pretty unsurprising given he's looked great this preseason and he

296
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 5: was great when Walker was injured last year.

297
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,479
Speaker 3: Walker's been missing practices.

298
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 5: He is back to practice now, but looks like Sharbone

299
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 5: is gonna be a one bet in that offense.

300
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 3: All right, let's go over to the Ravens thor Lamar Jackson.

301
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 6: He got his footsteps on and is missing practice time,

302
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 6: but he's gonna be fine. The other thing there, Ke

303
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 6: Tom Mitchell has looked good in camp coming off his injury,

304
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 6: and I believe he'll be the RB two this year.

305
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 6: So if you're looking for the handcoff for Derrick Henry.

306
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 3: In Pittsburgh, rookie running back Caleb Johnson has been running

307
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 3: with the second and third team offense. Kenneth ga Gainwell

308
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 3: continues to get reps ahead of him, and this could

309
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 3: be some Arthur smith Shenanigans shaping up here. I've got

310
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 3: some worry about how this is gonna go, and we're

311
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 3: gonna talk a little bit more about Caleb Johnson later

312
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 3: in this show. Scott, I think you got a couple

313
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 3: of teams left, including the.

314
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 5: Chargers, not much here. Just Quentin Johnson. Johnston excuse me,

315
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 5: injured his neck last week, but he's back at practice.

316
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 5: Second rounder Trey Harris is missing practice what has only

317
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 5: been described as tightness.

318
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 3: So he's tight. I guess he's tight. Thory already mentioned

319
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers training for Brian Robinson on Friday. Anything

320
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 3: else you want to add to the forty nine ers report?

321
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 4: That's about it, Okay.

322
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 3: Then we go over to the Cardinals. No nothing, no

323
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: new news from the Cardinals. They've got all their starters

324
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 3: in place. Arvin Harrison's looked better, but we're gonna talk

325
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: on him.

326
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 5: Lash plays a lot of flash plays, flash plays.

327
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 3: We'll talk more about him later in this show too.

328
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 3: Let's go back to the Broncos.

329
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 5: Got sure the Broncos traded Devon Vle As we mentioned before,

330
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 5: Peyton Sean Payton has been praising Pap Bryan, even Troy

331
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 5: Franklin this preseason. But I'm really not sure what to

332
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 5: make of that, since Sean Payton has this rare medical

333
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 5: condition where he's allergic to being honest, so he breaks

334
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 5: out in hives. I think, so, not sure what to

335
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 5: make of it.

336
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs Thor.

337
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 6: Is Jachecko has been running with the ones there, you know,

338
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 6: and not a huge surprize there. But the running back

339
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 6: situation with Kansas City, Brishard Smith has been flashing in

340
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 6: the past games up this summer. He is a little

341
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 6: bit buried on the depth chart right now, but the

342
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 6: past game utility is what we're wondering if he can

343
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 6: end up forcing his way onto the field and become

344
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 6: essentially the new Jerck McKinnon in that system.

345
00:16:59,000 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 4: The other thing I.

346
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 6: Want to mention and Jalen Royle's dealing with a knee

347
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 6: issue right now. That's a guy where if Hollywood promises

348
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 6: his time during the season where she Rice gets suspended

349
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 6: for a little bit three wide receiver sets, we think

350
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 6: that Jalen Royals could get on the field. So need

351
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 6: Jalen Royals to get healthy. But he's looked good when

352
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 6: he's been out there for the Rams.

353
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford back at practice and according to Sean McVay,

354
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 3: no restrictions this week, which is great news. If you

355
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 3: bought the dip on pookin Akua Devonte Adams, I think

356
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 3: that's looking pretty savvy right now. At least hopefully this

357
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 3: will not be a recurring back issue for Stafford and

358
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 3: our final team Thors the Raiders.

359
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Raiders.

360
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 6: Jack Besh still running with the twos there. You know,

361
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 6: was wondering if he would force his way back in there.

362
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 6: But it looks like the starting lineup because this has

363
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 6: been the case now the entire training camp and even

364
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 6: going into the OTAs is Jacobi Meyers, Trey Tucker and

365
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 6: Deontay Thornton.

366
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 3: When we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly, if you

367
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 3: love auctions, and we love auctions, let's talk about some

368
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 3: auction strategies. If you're trying to get league, let's talk about

369
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 3: that a little bit as well. So some of the

370
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 3: formats that don't always get enough love, we'll start talking

371
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 3: through some of your key draft day strategies when we

372
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 3: return Fantasy Football Weekly.

373
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 7: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

374
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 3: We know we don't talk enough auction on this show,

375
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 3: but we love the auction format. We think it's the

376
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 3: most equitable way to distribute players. Scott Fish, Thorne Eistrom.

377
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 3: We've been doing We've been talking about auctions and advocating

378
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 3: for auctions for thirty years on this show, and you know,

379
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 3: but we still end up putting everything in terms of

380
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 3: what round of player is going in the average draft position,

381
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 3: and then auction people have to sort of do the

382
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 3: mental calculation themselves on how that works for their auction.

383
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 3: Let's talk about some of your favorite auction strategies. What

384
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 3: are you doing this time of year in your auctions.

385
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 3: Let's start with Scott.

386
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, This in part depends on what your league settings are,

387
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 5: because if you are a ten team league or fewer,

388
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 5: I am all studs and duns. You want the top

389
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 5: of the line player at every position. Because the waiver

390
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 5: wire is thicker you can get more players to replace

391
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 5: on the waiver wire. You want the top end talent,

392
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 5: and I'm absolutely fine going studs and duns. There a

393
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 5: lot of people do that in twelve team anyway. It's

394
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 5: a common strategy. I usually tend to be a little

395
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 5: more balanced in I try not to go much over

396
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 5: fifteen or twenty percent on the stud players. Sometimes I

397
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 5: just call it and I'd rather get, you know, two

398
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 5: mid round guys. But I think the biggest strategy when

399
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 5: I'm in an auction is you want to be in

400
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 5: the middle of whatever your tier is or whatever you

401
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 5: feel like the tier of that group of players is

402
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 5: like if you're in a tier of six wide receivers

403
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 5: that are similarly ranked by consensus, and that the people

404
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 5: will be but you know, the top player in that tier,

405
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 5: in the bottom player, the last player of that tier.

406
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 5: That's where the money gets spent. If you're in the middle,

407
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 5: you're probably going to get a discount. If it's a

408
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 5: super flex auction, get three quarterbacks, it's the cheapest time

409
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 5: you're going to get quarterbacks in the entire thing. You're

410
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 5: not going to be able to trade for him. I

411
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 5: think those are kind of my main strategies going into those.

412
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 5: You know, a couple of different kinds of leagues.

413
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 3: All right, thor how about you when you're in an

414
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 3: auction in what do you try to do?

415
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,479
Speaker 6: I think that's well said. But twelve teams and above

416
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 6: in the league, and I usually play in deeper leagues,

417
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,479
Speaker 6: you know, fourteen sixteen or whatever. I want to spread

418
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 6: my money out. And you know, because the inversive idea

419
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 6: of what Scott is talking about, you're gonna have a.

420
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 4: Less their free agent pool.

421
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 6: You're gonna get to you know, the field the pool

422
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 6: is you're stretched deeper, and I want to take more shots.

423
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 6: I want to be the option to be able to

424
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 6: stream people, but I also want to take shots on

425
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 6: guys that I think could end up way out playing

426
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 6: the Obviously the money that I paid for them or whatever,

427
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 6: you tend to be able to get a decent deals,

428
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 6: especially in those bigger leagues, on guys like that. So

429
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 6: I let other people, you know, throw their money at

430
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 6: the stars and do that strategy in the in the

431
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 6: deeper leagues. Just like in regular drafts, if there is

432
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 6: trading of draft picks, my phone line is always open

433
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 6: to if someone wants to trade up, right, Like, I'm

434
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 6: always willing to take the extra draft equity in order

435
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 6: to move down. That's I think I got that from

436
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 6: Rix Spielman here locally, who is a huge fan of

437
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 6: always trading for the late round picks. But yeah, I

438
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 6: just want more bullets during during the draft and and

439
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 6: and as that goes for auction, it's it's spreading the

440
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 6: money a little bit more.

441
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, Scott, I was just gonna I wanted to clarify

442
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 5: if I wasn't clear. I was saying studs and toudds

443
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 5: A lot of people do. And then when I get

444
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 5: when I get to twelve teams, I like to be

445
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 5: more balanced much like thor is manching. That's that's why

446
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 5: I prefer to be balanced. I have a couple other notes,

447
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 5: but I'm guessing you're gonna talk.

448
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 3: Oh, let me, let me. Let me fire a couple

449
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 3: of bullets and you can see what's left in the

450
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 3: chamber here. Okay, once I've once I've established, I'm good

451
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 3: to go with my starters at a position, so I

452
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 3: go get my tight end. I've got black Bauers, I've

453
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 3: got Trey McBride, or I've got TJ. Hockinson, whoever. Now

454
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 3: I'm thrown out tight ends. I want people spending money

455
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: at the positions I've already filled so that they have

456
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 3: less competition for me when I'm bringing up running backs

457
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 3: or wide receivers or quarterbacks because my tight end set.

458
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 3: So that's one of my favorite strategies is to throw

459
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 3: out the positions where I'm already deep.

460
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 5: To go right along with that, I throw out like

461
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 5: I don't think I ever throw out a nomination until

462
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,479
Speaker 5: the end of a player.

463
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 3: I want that you actually like, Yes, if.

464
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 5: I'm thrown out players, especially early, it is it is

465
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 5: players I know are gonna draw money that I just

466
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 5: don't want.

467
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 3: And then there's the cold room theory, which I think

468
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 3: is a fact in most leagues. The first couple of

469
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 3: eyes that get thrown out go cheap because the warm

470
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 3: has the room hasn't been warmed up yet, and a

471
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 3: lot of people aren't very comfortable with auctions. Maybe they

472
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 3: haven't done a lot of auctions, and I think those

473
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 3: first couple of guys that go out, upon reflection, end

474
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 3: up going for less, and they're almost always big name.

475
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 3: Somebody's always thrown out a big name. Many times it's

476
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 3: a big name player that don't want But regardless, I

477
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 3: think there's there's opportunity in that cold room. Have you

478
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 3: guys experienced that with the first couple of players to

479
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 3: get thrown out?

480
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 6: I have, Yeah, Like in drafts where you're like, should

481
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 6: we redo the clock on the first guy? You know

482
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 6: that because he goes for so cheap, and it's something

483
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 6: you you got to keep your head on a swivel

484
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 6: in an auction draft.

485
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: They're live organisms.

486
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 5: I haven't experienced that, Okay, I've just often almost all

487
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 5: the auctions I've done are with people who routinely over

488
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,120
Speaker 5: that could be it.

489
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a living organism. You have to head on

490
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 3: a swivel. Like Thorpe said, all right, I got one

491
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 3: more auction strategy that that's important for me. I've got

492
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 3: an auction value written down next to every single player.

493
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 3: In the heat of the auction, I don't want to

494
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 3: make panic emotional moves, you know, when I walk before

495
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 3: my draft, I want to be able to auction. I

496
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 3: want to be able to walk in and know, Jamior

497
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 3: Gibbs twenty six bucks, that's my cap. That's it, you know,

498
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 3: in the sober light of the moment before my draft, right,

499
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, twenty six bucks. I don't want to

500
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 3: get caught up in a bidding war. Next thing, I know,

501
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 3: I'm bidding thirty two on Jamior Gibbs.

502
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

503
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 6: And it's definitely a great point because auction draft, especially

504
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 6: if you're less experienced in them, you can lose your

505
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 6: mind in the moment for one guy and get my

506
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 6: epic and all of a sudden you're bidding against another

507
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 6: guy and you're like, no, I'm going to get this guy.

508
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 4: You end up overpaying by ten bucks.

509
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 6: Right, Like, So having those those those numbers next to

510
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 6: those guys heading into your draft can tether you to

511
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 6: reality when the bullets are flying.

512
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 5: I used to do that in my early auction days,

513
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 5: as I would cap myself at fifteen percent, which ended

514
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 5: up turning into like a two hundred dollars budget thirty dollars.

515
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 5: If it hit thirty, I'm out. I read into problems

516
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 5: where other people realized that was my like thirty one,

517
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 5: and I've softened over the years. But yeah, having a

518
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 5: max bit or a cap on a player or you know, position,

519
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 5: especially good idea.

520
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,160

Speaker 3: Scott, you've been playing in Guillotine League since your one,

537
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 3: when I very first started Guillotine leagues dot com. Talk

538
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 3: to me about some of the things that you like

539
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 3: to do.

540
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 5: I'll keep it short. I have two things that I

541
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 5: always do. I've never won a Guillotine League, but I've

542
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 5: been Final four a few times, and I rarely go

543
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 5: out early. The two things that I routinely do and

544
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 5: have found success with is I don't spend a penny

545
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 5: in the first six weeks unless I absolutely have to.

546
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 5: If I get bounced on that so be it. But

547
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 5: I think that's only happened once or twice. You generally

548
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 5: find yourself as one of the top three players with

549
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 5: money for almost the rest of the season at that point.

550
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you do that.

551
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 5: The other one is I dig into the onesie positions.

552
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 5: I get myself a stud quarterback and tight end, I

553
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 5: call it a day and then just fill the rest

554
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 5: of my roster with running backs and wide receivers. That way,

555
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 5: I'm not bidding on quarterbacks and tight ends that get

556
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 5: dropped in the early weeks or whatever. I'm just sitting

557
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 5: on my good starters and hopefully they have late by weeks.

558
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 3: So do you have one guillotine League tip four drafters?

559
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say when you're ranking people, leverage the

560
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 6: first month of the season more than the rest of

561
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 6: the season your roster. If you do end up making

562
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 6: in the late October and beyond that, your roster is

563
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 6: going to look vastly different once you're able to start

564
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 6: spending money. But I totally agreed with what Fish at

565
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 6: and of not spending the first six weeks, And one

566
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 6: way to inoculate yourself or to not have to go

567
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 6: and blow your free agent money is to be drafting

568
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 6: more guys that have an easier opening scheduler, guys where

569
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 6: circumstance opens up for him. Right Like, if you know

570
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 6: one of these guys a surprise starter or the Viking

571
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 6: situation charge you were mentioning, they're they're looking into the

572
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 6: trade market quite closely. If trade gets consummated there, then

573
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 6: a guy steps into the starting lineup. Different stuff like that,

574
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 6: where you can get a guy for cheaper than maybe

575
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 6: his first five to six games should indicate those are

576
00:27:58,480 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 6: the guys I'm going to value a little bit more.

577
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 3: A lot of great advice for Guillotine League playing. You

578

00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 3: talk with Scott and I as well, which is always good.

595
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 3: In this segment We're going to highlight the one player

596
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 3: for each round that we agonize about taking. These aren't

597
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 3: the players that we're taking every time. These aren't the

598
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 3: players we're avoiding every time. These are the players that

599
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 3: cause us to stroke our collective beards. And we are

600
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 3: a three bearded group right now. Three beard strokes right

601
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 3: happening right now, and it's round number one. Who is

602
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 3: your beard stroker in round one? Scott?

603
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 5: So for me, it's actually just being at the back

604
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 5: end of round one and it's multiple players. It is

605
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 5: Nico Collins with Stroud the way he looked last year

606
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 5: and that offensive line being arable versus Brian Thomas Junior.

607
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 5: Does Travis Hunter really cut into what he was doing?

608
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 5: Can he be chasedon Higgins or does he you know,

609
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 5: take a bet? Do they fall off? Is it Saint

610
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 5: Brown with the Jamison Williams breakout?

611
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 3: Is it?

612
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 5: Is it Neighbors with his toe issues in Russell Wilson.

613
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 5: I found myself grabbing Nico in that situation. But every

614
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 5: time I'm on that back corner, I'm like, God, dang,

615
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 5: at which one of these guys do I want?

616
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 3: Which is the right call there? I think Nico's almost

617
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 3: always the right call. That's just me.

618
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 5: You know, I have him as my wide receiver three,

619
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 5: but I get the hesitancy.

620
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 3: Yes, Scott fitsh. You and I are legitimate early adopters

621
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 3: on Nico, like three years ago on this show talking

622
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 3: about Nico Collins before he was on radar for anybody else,

623
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 3: thor who's the player you're agonizing over in round number one?

624
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 6: I'm going with Justin Jefferson. You know, you have like

625
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 6: the fifth sixth pick in there. I think it's a

626
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 6: really tough one. Justin Jefferson has missed a lot of

627
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 6: practice most of you know of August with the hamstring strain.

628
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 6: It seemed like hes going to be back for Week one,

629
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 6: but you don't get a lot of rapport there on

630
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 6: field time with your second year quarterback who's coming off

631
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 6: the season ending injury and JJ McCarthy there, and then

632
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 6: the first three games charge you were mentioning that the

633
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 6: issues right now with the Vikings receiving corps as a whole,

634
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 6: even on top of that and the second one. Initially

635
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 6: in the season, you would think that they're going to

636
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 6: pound targets to Jefferson just mercilessly. But then Jefferson coming

637
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 6: off that injury. It just introduces some doubt there, the

638
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 6: lofty air that you have to pay to acquire him,

639
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 6: so that it's always a tough one for me.

640
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 3: Things that are bad for the offense hurt all the players,

641
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 3: and the Vikings not having a legitimate second wide receiver

642
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 3: could end up hurting Justin Jefferson a lot more than

643
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 3: it ends up helping him. I think the beard stroker

644
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 3: for me in round one it's Christian McCaffrey. Yeah, you know,

645
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 3: you know, the last six years he's either basically RB

646
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 3: one or he ends your season and you have to

647
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 3: decide whether or not you're there for the risk. I

648
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 3: don't have any insight that listeners don't have and whether

649
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey's going to stay healthy this season. But here's

650
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 3: what I do know. Every year you get older, the

651
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 3: less like you are to stay healthy. It's a really

652
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 3: tough call. I think a lot of it goes back

653
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 3: to something Scott alluded to earlier in the show. In

654
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 3: smaller leagues eight person leagues, ten person leagues, it's a

655
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 3: lot easier to take risk early in the draft because

656
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 3: you can make up for it later in the draft.

657
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 3: In you're in twelve, fourteen, sixteen, or I've been in

658
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 3: a twenty team league for twenty years. That's a lot

659
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 3: of risk to put onto your team early in the season.

660
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 3: Let's go to round number two, Scott, give me the

661
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 3: player you are agonizing over the most in round two.

662
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 5: So it's it's the Bowers McBride conundrum. It is the

663
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 5: go great at tight end or wait until late at

664
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 5: tight end scenario. When I get on the board in

665
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 5: the second round, I'm debating, do I want Bowers and

666
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 5: McBride when guys like Bucky Irvin, Chase Brown, maybe Puka,

667
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 5: maybe a Chan are all still available as skill players,

668
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 5: and do I wait for guys like Warren and that later? Yeah,

669
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 5: that's that's my biggest scratcher. I've found myself waiting till

670
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 5: late generally. But your greatest scratcher, I love it, my

671
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 5: greatest beard scratcher. But that's my that's my debate in

672
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 5: round two is do you go great at tight end

673
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 5: or do you wait until late?

674
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 3: To me, the answer is almost always go great at

675
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 3: tight end? Okay, who is your beard scratcher in round

676
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 3: number two?

677
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 6: For me, it's Jonathan Taylor. You know it's a guy

678
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 6: where earlier I didn't want him on my rosters, but

679
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 6: now you have the thing with Daniel Jones. It's confirmed,

680
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 6: and so it's like, well, maybe the offense won't be

681
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 6: a tragedy this coming season. And then last year Taylor

682
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 6: had what fourteen hundred some yards even though he missed

683
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 6: three games, So it's like, well, could it be a

684
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 6: better offense? And if it is, and Daniel Jones helping

685
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 6: him out, YadA YadA. He's a guy that I go.

686
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 6: It's just back and forth, like there's two arguments going

687
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 6: on in my head about Jonathan Taylor.

688
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 4: So that's the toughest one for me.

689
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 3: And Taylor has the advantage although he doesn't catch, which

690
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 3: factors into this a lot, but he has the advantage of

691
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 3: getting so many goal line carries every single year. And

692
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 3: Shane Stiken loves to run the ball at the stripe,

693
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 3: so there's a lot of safety built into that touchdown

694
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 3: productivity for Jonathan Taylor. For me, the guy I'm agonizing

695
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 3: over in the second round is Devon a Chan. He

696
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 3: was a PPR wizard last year with almost eighty receptions,

697
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 3: six hundred yards, RB ten and PPR. But man, do

698
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 3: I feel like we dodged a bullet with getting seventeen

699
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 3: games out of him last season. He was getting goal

700
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 3: line work last year that I don't think he's going

701
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 3: to get this year because he was awful at the

702
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 3: stripe last year, not very productive, and there's so many

703
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 3: negative variables that I need him to dodge. Bad offensive line,

704
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 3: his personal history of injury to his history of injury,

705
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 3: Ali Gordon, it looks like potentially the next the next

706
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 3: goal line back up for the Dolphins after Jalen Wright

707
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 3: failed four different times in the preseason game from earlier

708
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago. So to me, Devon a

709
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 3: Chan all the upside if we get a season like

710
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 3: last year, lots of catches, but so much downside too.

711
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 3: To me, he is a high risk, high reward option

712
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 3: in round two. Let's go to round number three, Scott

713
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 3: your beard stroker in round three.

714
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is the spot where I'm debating, do I

715
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 5: need Hampton, Lamari and Hampton or Travon Henderson or do

716
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 5: I start the QB run And like you like to

717
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 5: be great at tight end, a lot of people like

718
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 5: to be get that great Daniels that Allen that Lamar

719
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 5: at quarterback. Start the QB run and they don't have

720
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 5: to draft a quarterback for the rest of the rest

721
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 5: of the draft. They can just pack away at other positions.

722
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 5: That's my head scratcher in this round. That's my beard

723
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 5: scratcher in this round.

724
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 3: Well, the beard is technically on the head, so.

725
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 5: You know, I might think that, Yeah, it forms the

726
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,240
Speaker 5: way you do the rest of your draft.

727
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 3: It does by making that decision there, I either get

728
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 3: one of the four big quarterbacks, the big you know,

729
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 3: the mobile quarterbacks, elite quarterbacks, or I sleft that position

730
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 3: all the way up. Absolutely, three is a price tag.

731
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 3: It is a price tag. I'm with you, all right,

732
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 3: thor what is your round three conundrum?

733
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 6: You know the guys that've tossed out so far, it's

734
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 6: where you can make an argument for them on either

735
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 6: side of it. And I feel like Garrett Wilson's one

736
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,720
Speaker 6: of the biggest guys like that in all fantasy football

737
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 6: this year. You can make an extremely compelling argument that

738
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,959
Speaker 6: Garrett Wilson is underrated in fantasy drafts. He's the only

739
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 6: target there literally, and then justin fields. Of course, we

740
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 6: have some issues with him as a thrower. He will

741
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 6: attack down the field though, and he likes Garrett Wilson

742
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 6: a lot. We know because they played together at Ohio

743
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 6: State twenty nineteen and twenty twenty.

744
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.

745
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 6: I'm just kidding, you know again, like you don't have

746
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 6: other options there, breeze hawk and catch the ball. Fields

747
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 6: doesn't love throwing to the running back Mason Taylor coming in.

748
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 6: We haven't seen fields in the past throwing to the

749
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 6: tight ends. But then on the other side of it,

750
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 6: with Wilson, you're in this crappy offense. Now you have

751
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 6: the dual threat quarterback who likes to run around, and

752
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 6: if the season starts to go wayward, you know, so

753
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 6: you can make the argument on both sides.

754
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 4: I always have a tough.

755
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 6: Time wait when I'm on the clock and Garret Wilson's

756
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 6: right up there at the top of the queue.

757
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 3: I want to talk about Marvin Harrison, my round three

758
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 3: Beard Stroker borderline disaster season last year. Seven different single

759
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 3: digit PPR performances last year. Those guys got you chopped

760
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 3: in guillotine leagues. They gave you l's el's in those

761
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 3: games for Marvin Harrison, and it's hard to know entirely

762
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 3: where the blame lies. It's clearly some of it's on

763
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray, who simply didn't throw the ball that well

764
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 3: in many cases to Marvin Harrison. And I don't think

765
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray is suddenly going to get better a lot

766
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 3: better in year seven. I mean, I just think Kyler

767
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 3: Murray is who is at this point. Also a little

768
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 3: bit worrisome to me for Marvin Harrison is that this

769
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 3: offense didn't add a single starter. Is the exact same

770
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 3: offense that we're rolling over, but the draft equity it

771
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 3: was extraordinarily high. He was an amazingly productive player at

772
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 3: Ohio State, and almost every receiver gets better in year

773
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 3: two of his pedigree. They almost all get better in

774
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 3: year two. You know you're not getting I think, a

775
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 3: real value on Marvin Harrison. He's actually going later this

776
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 3: year than he did last year, but still round three.

777
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 3: I'm just hoping he performs at round three. This is

778
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 3: a this is a tricky, tricky decision on Marvin Harrison.

779
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 3: Let's go over to round four, Scott, who is your round? Interesting?

780
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 3: By the way, we didn't pre program this. None of

781
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 3: us have chosen the same player yet. Let's see if

782
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 3: it happens, and let's see if it happens here in

783
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 3: round four? Who is your round four beard stroker?

784
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I don't have a beard stroke in round

785
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 5: four because if he's still there, I'm taking Jade and

786
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 5: Daniels and I'm walking away because if I'm getting the

787
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 5: last of Daniels or Hurts, if I'm getting the last

788
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 5: of that tier, I will take it and walk away.

789
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 3: But if the if that, if that's not the guy,

790
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 3: but that's who you're always taking, tell me the guy. Yeah,

791
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 3: that's what I'm saying. That's that was the preface to.

792
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 5: If those guys are gone and Davante Adams is on

793
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 5: the board, I remember Cooper Cup and Poka Nakua being

794
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 5: amazing together in that same offense.

795
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 3: I trust in Sean McVay. Uh, you you will. You're

796
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 3: probably getting a little bit of a dip here.

797
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 5: And DeVante Adams last year was better than Garrett Wilson

798
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 5: and nearly every game they played with.

799
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 3: Each other last year. Yeah, is he still that guy?

800
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 5: Or is just the I hate wide receivers going to

801
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 5: a new situation, But Adams just proved me wrong last

802
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 5: year on that. So it's it's Adams. Does he still

803
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 5: have it in the tank? Is he gonna be good

804
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 5: in this situation. Will Matthew Stafford stay healthy. That's the

805
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 5: one that I think has top ten wide receiver upside

806
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 5: that could also fail spectacularly.

807
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 3: allR Thor who is your round four beard Stroker?

808
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 6: For me, it's Tetro and McMillan of Carolina and the

809
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 6: price point. The fantasy community has been pretty bullish on him,

810
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 6: and you could definitely see him having an enormous year,

811
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 6: you know, the assumption being that he's going to step

812
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 6: into a wide receiver one role and if Adam Thielen

813
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 6: is ultimately traded, they could be even more targets there

814
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 6: for him. But it's a guy who wins on ball skals.

815
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 6: It's a guy who doesn't get a ton of separation.

816
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 6: He has amazing, amazing ball skills, don't get me wrong,

817
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 6: but the acclamation process working with Bryce Young.

818
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 4: You have to pay it.

819
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 6: You have to be very bullish to come out of

820
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 6: your draft with Tetroll McMillan. Based on the price point

821
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 6: right now, there is a path to it, for sure,

822
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 6: but it's obviously risky that the first year guy. So

823
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 6: that's one one that I go back and forth on.

824
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 3: In that round, I'm going with Kansas City Wide receiver

825
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 3: Xavier Worthy as somebody that I agonize over in round four.

826
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 3: Loved the improvement that we got over the courts of

827
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 3: last year to the first half of the season. He

828
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 3: was super low volume. You know, they would throw one

829
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 3: pass at the line of scrimmage, they'd throw one pass

830
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 3: forty yards downfield, and if nothing good came out of that,

831
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 3: Xavier Worthy gave you nothing. But then all the injuries

832
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 3: piled up and the Chiefs were forced to use Xavier

833
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 3: Worthy a lot more, and he seemed up to the

834
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 3: challenge and became a reliable go to receiver all the

835
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 3: way through the Super Bowl run for the Chiefs. But

836
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 3: then we forward to this year. It seems like this

837
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 3: is kind of a no brainer. But what happens when

838
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 3: Hollywood Brown's nicked up right now? Jalen Royals is nicked

839
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 3: up right now. Rashie Rice is nicked up right now

840
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 3: and has suspension. But we're not that far off from

841
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 3: all of those guys potentially playing in Week one? What

842
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 3: happens when Patrick Mahomes drops back to pass and all

843
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 3: of his receivers are on field. This might be the

844
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 3: first time in years that Patrick Mahomes has got a

845
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 3: surplus of wide receivers. Is Xavier Worthy still at that

846
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 3: point the go to receiver don't? And that makes it

847
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 3: part of the conundrum in the fourth round. Let's go

848
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 3: to the fifth round, Scott, who is your beard stroking

849
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 3: player in round number five?

850
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 5: My only beard stroke here is do I take one

851
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 5: of these guys and just reach around Frank Buca and

852
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 5: call it a day, which might which might end up

853
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 5: beat his ADP. Anyway, I think my biggest scratcher here

854
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 5: is it's got to be Kamara or Harvey in the

855
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 5: last of that running back tier. For me, Kamara, it's

856
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 5: really Kamara? Is he He still gets a ton of receptions.

857
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 5: He's gonna have to almost be basically the main weapon

858
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 5: in that offense that might just be a terrible offense.

859
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 5: Every one of his metrics has gone down, His explosives

860
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 5: are gone. We're going to talk about this a little

861
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 5: bit later. But he's still consistently top five or ten

862
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 5: in targets and receptions and that's big in fantasy.

863
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 3: It is big, and this he's kind of value priced

864
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 3: right here. In the fifth round, Thorpe, who is the

865
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 3: player that you're agonizing Wking round number five.

866
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:02,280
Speaker 4: RJ. Harvey.

867
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 6: RJ Harvey, it's a big price tag on him, and

868
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 6: of course I have to put my hand up a

869
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 6: little bit on this one of getting his price tag

870
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 6: to the point it was. I mean, you guys know

871
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 6: how much I love r J. Harvey, but with that

872
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,439
Speaker 6: price tag now where it is, and we're talking about

873
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 6: a re draft league here right like, I want to

874
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 6: remind people. And this was one of the reasons I

875
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 6: was so bullish. Was Alvin Kamar. The experience that Sean

876
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 6: Payton had with him. Alvin Kamara as a rookie did

877
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 6: not start getting touching till the poort fifth game. And

878
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 6: it looks like it's gonna be the same thing here

879
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 6: with RJ. Harvey as a rookie. Will he end up

880
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 6: stealing that job from Dobbins. There's a lot up in

881
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 6: the air there, so I go both ways of it.

882
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 3: You know, I'm with you on RJ. Harvey was my

883
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 3: guy as well. I'm gonna mention this as I've done

884
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 3: a couple of times in the show under Sean Payton.

885
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 3: Alvin Kamara on a Hall of Fame pace didn't get

886
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 3: more than seven carries until week six of his rookie year.

887
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 3: Sean Payton, A little can be slow to get his

888
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 3: rookies on the field, and you got to bake that

889
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 3: into your decision making. On our j Harvey, when we

890
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 3: come back to our number two of Fantasy Football Weekly,

891
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 3: we'll go through a dynasty draft, identify the rookies we

892
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 3: love and don't and tell you which aid the veterans

893
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 3: are totally cooked or just medium.

894
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 8: Well.

895
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 3: Welcome back our number two Fantasy Football Weekly. I am

896
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 3: Paul Charchy and my co hosts today are Scott Fish

897
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 3: and Thor and Eystrom and man are we going to

898
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 3: lean into Thor for this segment. Let's talk through rookie

899
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 3: dynasty drafts. Of course, dynasty drafts, you hold these players forever.

900
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 3: The rookie draft is such a big deal. These are

901
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 3: the guys that are going to change the future of

902
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:08,479
Speaker 3: your dynasty league team forever. Scott's gonna throw out the

903
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 3: top players being drafted in order, rookies being drafted in

904
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 3: order for give me a comment on the player, and

905
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 3: mostly to say is this the appropriate place for this

906
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 3: player to go? Is he going too high, too low?

907
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 3: Or just right? And Scott, I think we know who

908
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 3: the number one overall rookie is.

909
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's the ADP right now has Ashton gent

910
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 5: number one. I can't imagine it's any different for Thor,

911
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 5: But if you want to take it, Thor, if is

912
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 5: there any change, it's it's genty.

913
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 4: Right, genty? Yes, that is correct? All right?

914
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 3: Moving on, let's move on.

915
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 5: Number two is currently Omarion Hampton, who's going, you know,

916
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 5: second among rookies in regular drafts. In dynasty, that's where

917
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 5: he's being drafted. Is that the same for you, Thor?

918
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is, and both those guys even in red

919
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 6: draft leagues. I'm more bullish on than the ADPs. Like

920
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 6: I'm looking at my overall ranks, I have Hampton twenty

921
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 6: first over all and Fantasy nine spots ahead of his ADP.

922
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 6: But yeah, he is in number two in the rookie

923
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 6: draft Dynasy drafts with a bullet.

924
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, inside runner, goal line runner correct Thor Omarion Hampton

925
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 3: for Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman.

926
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:17,280
Speaker 4: Absolute berserker.

927
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 6: Yeah he's a tackle breaker and he does have home

928
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 6: run speed as well, but yeah, that body armor, he's

929
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 6: got the short yardage around the goal line.

930
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 4: That's gonna be o Mari and Hampton time.

931
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 3: I think so too. Nagie Harris eye injury has really

932
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 3: meant that he hasn't been able to work out for

933
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 3: his new team, and Omari and Hampton hits the ground

934
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 3: running in week one as the starter. I think agreed.

935
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 5: It is always weird to me that so many times

936
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 5: the running backs are at the top of this and

937
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 5: if you think logistically and dynasty league's the worst teams

938
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 5: are the ones drafting at the top, and they probably

939
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 5: should have longer, longer assets like wide receivers than short

940
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 5: term running backs. But number three coming in at ADP

941
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 5: is Travis Hunter. The dual threat now with Jacksonville Jaguars.

942
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 5: Is that you're number interesting.

943
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 4: He's my number four.

944
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 6: I got him flipped with McMillan, who I assume is

945
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 6: number four on that list.

946
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 3: Correct.

947
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I've been bullish on Hunter. That's even a

948
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 6: little bit more bullish than I would go. People need

949
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 6: to keep in mind long term, we're talking dynasty here.

950
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 6: You obviously have a two way player here in an

951
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 6: unprecedented player. Lean Cohen says he's gonna play eighty percent

952
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 6: of the offensive snaps this year, and we love to

953
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 6: hear from a fantasy perspective, you wonder if going forward

954
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 6: they'll they'll try to even out the snaps more with defense,

955
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 6: or what if they want to leverage the defensive snaps

956
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 6: a little bit more going forward and he gets a

957
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 6: little bit less on offense. There's some questions there. I'm

958
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 6: still bullish, Like I said, I have them four. But

959
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 6: Tetero McMillan, I think he has to be the first

960
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 6: rookie wide receiver who's taken and he's stepping right into

961
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 6: that that wide receiver one role. It would appear with

962
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 6: Carolina right away. So I'd have those two guys flipped.

963
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,479
Speaker 3: Vote of confidence for Dave Canalis For me as well,

964
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 3: Bryce Young's development looks legit to me. Ted McMillan should

965
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 3: be very good. Who's going off the board at position

966
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:00,760
Speaker 3: number four or Scott?

967
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 5: That would be Travion Henderson, who's really, really, really flashed

968
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 5: flashed again this preseason for the New England Patriots at

969
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 5: the running back position.

970
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:10,839
Speaker 3: Is that who you got through?

971
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 4: Well, now I'm fascinated to know where McMillan ends up

972
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 4: in this.

973
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, I thought we went over three

974
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 5: and four are four McMillan.

975
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 3: We're just moving on? Yeah, Okay, all right, Okay, So

976
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 3: five is Henderson. I was off on that.

977
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:28,240
Speaker 6: Toods Henderson is right, that's right where I have Henderson.

978
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 6: I think that that's fair five. And I'll be curious

979
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 6: to see. You know, we've talked a little bit about this.

980
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 6: Will New England's coaching staff with Trevion Henderson, Will they

981
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 6: go a little hog wild and start the usage and

982
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 6: just funneling all of it to him. Trevion Henderson had

983
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,959
Speaker 6: issues staying healthy in college when he got the bell

984
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 6: call workload. He was able to stay healthy last year

985
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 6: sixteen games, the national title run for Ohuse State, sharing

986
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 6: touches with Quinnjohn Jenkins. I'm curious about that, but I

987
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 6: think you have to have him fifth.

988
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,399
Speaker 3: All right, that's Travian Henderson and yet more on him

989
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 3: coming later in this show. Let's go to rookie Dynasty

990
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 3: pick number six, Scott, who's the public taking at position six?

991
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're gonna go on a little bit of a

992
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 5: tight end run and starting with the Colts new tight

993
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 5: end Tyler Warren is the is the first here at

994
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 5: number six.

995
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 4: Wow?

996
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 6: Okay, so I and even though I'm bullish I have

997
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 6: Tyler Warren at eight, I'm not prioritizing the tight end

998
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 6: quite that early with some other guys that are on

999
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 6: the board, and we'll we'll talk about them in a second.

1000
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 6: But I think there's crazy attractive running backs that are

1001
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 6: are are still available there, and one receiver that I

1002
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 6: have on as well. But I love Tyler Warren, like

1003
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 6: you know, reed draft leagues.

1004
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 4: This year.

1005
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 6: I have plenty of overtickets on Tyler Warren's yardage total

1006
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 6: at the sports books as well in the prop market,

1007
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 6: very very bullish on him. It seems like the market

1008
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 6: is more bullish in dynasty drafts though than I am.

1009
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 3: All right, and the Daniel Jones news to me, very

1010
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 3: good news for Tyler Warren. Let's go to Psition number

1011
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,479
Speaker 3: seven in rookie Dynasty draft, Scott Who's being taken here?

1012
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're sticking a tight end with Colston Loveland of

1013
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 5: the Chicago Bears.

1014
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, and this one is a real surprise for me.

1015
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 6: I would not have Colson Loveland that high. I have

1016
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 6: Colson Loveland in mine thirteenth, you know, And there's an

1017
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,359
Speaker 6: issue there initially with Colson Lovelan what he is, it's

1018
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 6: a big slot predominantly. He can play a little bit

1019
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,919
Speaker 6: of inline for you. But the Bears have Comment there, right,

1020
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 6: and so you have to decide if you're the Bears,

1021
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 6: you going to take Comment off the field. You're gonna

1022
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 6: take burden off the feel, You're going to take Loveland

1023
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 6: off the field, and that Olamide Zachias is out there

1024
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 6: right now as well, clogging up the sort of slot thing.

1025
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 6: There's a lot of moving parts there, and with the

1026
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 6: pass catching core there with Chicago, I'm a little bit

1027
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 6: lower on Colson Loveland than the market is.

1028
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 3: I'm with you on that for the reason you mentioned.

1029
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 3: There's just a lot of mouse defeat in the Chicago

1030
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 3: offense and I could see him being much more inconsistent

1031
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 3: than Tyler Warren, who might be the best receiver on

1032
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 3: the team right now for his team. All right, let's

1033
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 3: go to position number eight in dynasty rookie drafts. Who

1034
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 3: are the public taking at eight? Scott?

1035
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, this, uh, this is where it starts to make

1036
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 5: a little more sense maybe for you. Amika Egbuka comes

1037
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 5: in at number Oh yeah, baby, I have.

1038
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,759
Speaker 6: Ag Buka at seven and and and I think you

1039
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 6: know it's it's it's prudent to be a little aggressive.

1040
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 6: They're on Abuka based on I mean, we we know

1041
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 6: guys haven't done this for years, the veterans and the

1042
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 6: coaches when they're asked about rookies, typically you're gonna hear

1043
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 6: nice things said about them. But when the guy is

1044
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 6: a stud, there's a different tone in the voice. And

1045
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 6: listening to guys like Baker Mayfield talk about Mecca Buka

1046
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,280
Speaker 6: going back a month or two and and the drum

1047
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 6: beat is only built there, you know, built up there,

1048
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 6: and now you have the easy runway into a week

1049
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 6: one spot and a big role in that offense. When

1050
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 6: we initially were curious, like so you're gonna have to

1051
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 6: start out the season on the bench right after the

1052
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 6: pick was made because Tampa Bay's receiving core appeared to

1053
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 6: be so stacked. But but the sort of season opened

1054
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 6: up for him, Egbuka, and I'm bullish on him long

1055
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 6: term as well.

1056
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 3: Love it. I think you could go. I go quite

1057
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 3: a bit higher, honestly, if it were if it were

1058
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 3: just up to me, let's go to position number nine.

1059
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 3: Who's the public taking in dynasty rookie drafts of position nine?

1060
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 5: Scott, So this is where Caleb Johnson comes in. But

1061
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 5: I do want to make a statement that This Rookie

1062
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 5: ADP is for the month of August, so it's possible

1063
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 5: it was done a couple of weeks ago, and weirdly

1064
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 5: in Dynasty that shouldn't change the ranks too much. But

1065
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 5: I feel like guys like Jacory Krofsky Merritt might be

1066
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 5: higher on this list. Maybe even RJ. Harvey might be

1067
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 5: higher on this list. R J. Harvey coming in a

1068
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 5: couple of picks from now. Caleb Johnson, how do you

1069
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,879
Speaker 5: feel about that? And where would you have slotted in?

1070
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 5: Bill Krofsky Merritt? Would he have already been in this

1071
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 5: top nine?

1072
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 4: No?

1073
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 6: I have Jacory KRASKI Merrit actually at eleven, so and

1074
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,439
Speaker 6: you know, and updated of course with the current news

1075
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 6: and everything, but I think you would have been my

1076
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 6: RB six, Jackory Krass you merit in Rookie Dynasty drafts

1077
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 6: right now. As for Caleb Johnson, I have him right

1078
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 6: at nine. I feel like the market has that one right,

1079
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 6: you know. And there's this stuff we were talking about

1080
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 6: the depth chart a little bit earlier on hopefully Arthur Smith.

1081
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 6: Can you know he'll do better buyas this year what

1082
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,240
Speaker 6: we'll have to end up seeing. But I am bullish

1083
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 6: on Caleb Johnson. I really really like his game, and

1084
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 6: I think he's a good fit for the Steelers as well,

1085
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 6: So I think nine is right about right for him.

1086
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 3: I've got a good stat for you on Caleb Johnson

1087
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 3: that I think makes me feel a little more confident.

1088
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 3: Last year was the first year for Arthur Blank as

1089
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 3: the offensive coordinator for the Steelers. From inside the five

1090
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 3: yard line. The Steelers completed four passes. They ran the

1091
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 3: ball twenty six times inside the five. That is a

1092
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:53,879
Speaker 3: monster disparity. And Caleb Johnson is built perfectly for goal

1093
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 3: line use, sure twenty one touchdowns to lead the Big

1094
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 3: Ten in rushing touchdowns last year. Okay, let's go to

1095
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 3: position number. I believe we're on position ten of our

1096
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 3: dynasty rookie drafts.

1097
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 5: Who's a next Scott Quinchawn Judkins running back for the

1098
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 5: Cleveland Browns?

1099
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 3: Who?

1100
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, once he gets signed in there, it

1101
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 5: sounds like he's probably I don't. It's still an up

1102
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 5: in the air situation a little bit at this point,

1103
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 5: but this is dynasty. We assume things are probably going

1104
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 5: to get figured out at some point to some degree.

1105
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 5: How do you feel about him long term? It's the

1106
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 5: number ten on this list.

1107
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 4: I'm a little bit lower.

1108
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 6: I have Quinchehn Judkins fourteenth in mind, and it doesn't

1109
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 6: have as much to do with with you know, the

1110
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 6: legal stuff and the and the unsigned. You bake it

1111
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 6: in a little bit for sure, But Quinjohn Judkins, he's

1112
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 6: not going to give you anything on passing downs.

1113
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 4: You know.

1114
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 6: That's that's been my thing with him. And so he's

1115
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 6: gonna get yanked off the field there. And he's not crazy,

1116
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 6: crazy explosive. I do like his vision and feel quite

1117
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,479
Speaker 6: a bit. But you wonder, is this guy, like, even

1118
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 6: even if things go well for him in his career,

1119
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 6: is it just a better version of a guy like

1120
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 6: Jordan Howard for instance.

1121
00:54:57,360 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 4: Right, So for me, like it's always going to be

1122
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,240
Speaker 4: a mix in. I have him fourteen.

1123
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 6: You're in a bad offense and a bad organization, so

1124
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 6: I had to put him fourteen.

1125
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 3: I think the Browns are an emerging organization and ten

1126
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 3: and I you know, I feel like once they're officially

1127
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 3: de shackled, which they really are from Deshaun Watson, I

1128
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 3: trust Kevin Stefanski to get this right. He's been very

1129
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:22,360
Speaker 3: successful when he hasn't had Deshaun Watson, and I feel

1130
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 3: like Quinshawn Judkins is the ultimate buy low opportunity right now.

1131
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 3: You're paying pennies on the dollar for him where he

1132
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 3: would have gone otherwise. And he you know, they liked

1133
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 3: him enough to take him in the second round. This

1134
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 3: is a really nice opportunity. So I don't know, I

1135
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 3: feel like these are one of these moments where you

1136
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 3: look back and go, man, I wish I would have,

1137
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 3: you know, ignored the moment and looked more big picture.

1138
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 3: Let's go to number eleven. Who's the public taking in

1139
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 3: dynasy rookie drafts to pick eleven? Scott?

1140
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:56,280
Speaker 5: This is uh, this is Sean Payton's new new love affair,

1141
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 5: his new toy, the running back r J Harvey over

1142
00:55:58,960 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 5: the over out there.

1143
00:55:59,760 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 1: And.

1144
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 6: I'm way higher on our J Harvey, you know, in

1145
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 6: talking from a dynasty perspective, I have them number six

1146
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 6: on my list, and him against Trevion Henderson for me

1147
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 6: is very very close.

1148
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 4: So I mean there was even a shot he could

1149
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:13,280
Speaker 4: have been fifth.

1150
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 6: The concerns that you know, I'm using bunny quotes, concerns

1151
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 6: that I was talking about, you know, with ur Ja

1152
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 6: Harvey's workload, that's all talking about early season twenty twenty five, right,

1153
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 6: But when we're making a Dynasty pick, you have to

1154
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 6: you have to look a little bit more, you know,

1155
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 6: onto the horizon there, and that's where it gets really

1156
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 6: fun for our j Harvey game. Very similar to Alvin Kamara,

1157
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 6: and we all know what happened there with Alvin Kamara

1158
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,240
Speaker 6: with the Saints. With Sean Payton, he's gonna be used plenty.

1159
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 6: He's gonna have to overcome Dobbins, and then the deference

1160
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 6: to the veteran that we've seen from Sean Payton in

1161
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 6: the past. But with your Dynasty pick, that doesn't matter

1162
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 6: as much. I think the public's kind of sleeping on him.

1163
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:51,879
Speaker 3: Well. At one point, we had hoped to get through

1164
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 3: two rounds of our Dynasty Rookie analysis. Not happening. We're

1165
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 3: going to go through one round, twelve picks, so one

1166
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 3: complete first round of Dynasty rookie rankings. Who's going out

1167
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 3: the board on average as the last player in the

1168
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 3: first round, Scott.

1169
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 5: That is the first round wide receiver selection of the

1170
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 5: Green Bay Packers. Matthew Golden.

1171
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 4: I have Matthew Golden tenth.

1172
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 6: I think there is a shot that Matthew Golden is

1173
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 6: able to essentially become the wide receiver one there pretty quickly.

1174
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 6: You don't have a lot of competition for that. They're

1175
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 6: guys that Matthew Golden can shove aside for that. So

1176
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 6: I and of course the Packers like him. That's a

1177
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 6: team that never took wide receivers early. They end up

1178
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 6: taking Matthew Golden the first round this year. So I'm

1179
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 6: a little bit higher I having tenth.

1180
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 3: Number ten Matthew Golden. Packers need to develop a go

1181
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 3: to wide receiver. They put first round equity into Matthew Golden.

1182
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 3: Let's hope that he can make good on the price

1183
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 3: that they paid. When we come back, are these aging

1184
00:57:54,760 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 3: veterans completely cooked or merely medium? Well find out when

1185
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 3: we return to Fantasy Football Weeklyague. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

1186
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 3: If you haven't tried a guillotine league yet, it's so

1187
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 3: much fun. It's the most fun you can have playing

1188
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 3: season long fantasy football. And audacious statement for sure, But

1189
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 3: the way it works is many of you know, no

1190
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 3: head to head matchups. Instead, every week, the low scoring

1191
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 3: team chopped from the league. Their players go to the

1192
00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 3: waiver wire, while the rest of us are building soon

1193
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 3: Cooper star rosters. All you have to do is not

1194
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 3: finish last in any given week. Totally new, fresh way

1195
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 3: to play Guillotine Leagues, and you can play it at

1196
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 3: Guillotine Leagues dot com. Scott and Thorpe. This is a

1197
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 3: segment we call cooked or medium Well. We did this

1198
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 3: last year ton of fun. We're gonna identify older players

1199
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 3: and you tell me whether or not you believe they

1200
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 3: are completely cooked or merely medium. Well. We're gonna get

1201
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 3: one more good season out of these players. And we

1202
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 3: begin with Joe Mixon, age twenty nine. Thor Let's start

1203
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 3: with you on Joe Mixon. Is he cooked or is

1204
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 3: he medium?

1205
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 4: Well, Joe Mixon is cooked, And I'll go further.

1206
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:46,439
Speaker 6: I will not have Joe Mixon on a fantasy roster

1207
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 6: this year, and I don't know if I will ever

1208
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 6: own Joe Mixon again. That we have some scary news

1209
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 6: there about his from a fantasy perspective, about his health situation.

1210
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 6: Right now, they just keep saying he's out in definitely.

1211
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 6: There hasn't been a ton of like very specific sports here.

1212
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 6: You're starting to wonder does he have foot fractures there?

1213
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 6: And is it is it gonna be like a long

1214
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 6: time with him out. It's crazy that Nick Chubb might

1215
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 6: end up being less cooked than Joe Mixon. That might

1216
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 6: be the reality that we're living in right now.

1217
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 3: Nick Chubb just twenty six years old. He's actually kind

1218
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 3: of low mileage because of the year that he lost

1219
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 3: and then didn't get a lot of work last year. Scott,

1220
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 3: is Joe Mixon cooked or is he medium? Well?

1221
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, so Jeff Mueller, who's who's a pet on on Twitter?

1222
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 5: In the fantasy Twitter space And say what you want

1223
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 5: about fantasy Twitter docs. Sometimes they're more credible than others.

1224
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 5: I've I've never seen or heard anything bad about Jeff

1225
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,439
Speaker 5: uh seen him out there for quite a long time.

1226
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 5: He had heard some stuff about Joe Mixon's foot that

1227
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 5: he's like, he's completely off my draft boards, completely off them. Yeah,

1228
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 5: there's something very serious there. And even if there wasn't,

1229
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 5: even if it was like he'll be back in a

1230
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 5: few weeks, that line is terrible. Yeah, Yeah, that line

1231
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 5: is absolutely terrible, even if he's not completely cooked. How

1232
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 5: I don't know that I want to really buy into him,

1233
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 5: but I think I haven't doubt as cooked.

1234
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 3: Good call the Houston offensive line ranked thirtieth in ESPN's

1235
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 3: run block win rate last year, and then they mefranchised

1236
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 3: quarterback and CJ. Stroud Man, I'd just be piling lineman

1237
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 3: in front of this kid to you know, extend his career.

1238
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 3: Just I don't like how Houston has run their offseason,

1239
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 3: to be honest.

1240
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 5: It feels like one of those like when you're you're

1241
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 5: out of energy, and like he was looking bad for

1242
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 5: the Bengals and you're just like, I got one more immedia,

1243
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:31,440
Speaker 5: I pushed that one more out. Now's now, it's now.

1244
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 3: He's done. Over the final six games of last year,

1245
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 3: Joe Mixon drooped down to twenty ninth in rushing yards

1246
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 3: among starters, thirty first in yards per carry twenty fifth,

1247
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 3: and avoided tackle rate. The end was starting last year

1248
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 3: and then adding this injury. Joe Mixon is cooked next

1249
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 3: Alvin Kamara, aged thirty. We've already talked about him a

1250
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 3: little bit in this show. Or is he completely cooked

1251
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 3: or is he merely medium well?

1252
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 6: This is probably the toughest one for me. I did

1253
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 6: settle on medium well, but I don't think he's got

1254
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 6: long before he's cooked, and I think he might end

1255
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 6: up looking cook this year because of the situation he's

1256
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 6: on with the Saints where he's gonna have to be

1257
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 6: John Snow In that scene in Game of Throw, the

1258
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 6: whole defense is king on Alvin Kamariz they're not afraid

1259
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 6: of Tyler Shuck and all those other guys out there.

1260
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 6: So I would love for Alvin Kamar to be traded

1261
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 6: to a contender. I'm hoping that we get that closer

1262
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 6: to the trade deadline. Tough situation there. I think he

1263
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 6: can still play. He's still a very skilled guy, so

1264
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say medium.

1265
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 3: Well, Scott, yeah, the same eight hold on. Has any

1266
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 3: show had a bigger delta in quality of show until

1267
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 3: the final season than Game of Thrones.

1268
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 5: The final final season yep, I don't know season was

1269
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 5: good either, but the Parks and rec final season was

1270
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 5: not weird.

1271
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 3: I don't know. There's a bunch of them.

1272
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 4: Season, yeah, like because individual episodes.

1273
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 6: You have the final episode and then we've had some

1274
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 6: bad ones Seinfeld, you know, be or the yeah.

1275
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, I think that might be the ace.

1276
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 3: All right, Back to Alvin.

1277
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 5: Kamara anyway, Dexter Resurrection is so good everybody should be watching. Okay,

1278
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 5: it's ratings on IMDb are on pace to be the

1279
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 5: greatest single season of television ever.

1280
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 3: Really, cow, I have it currently right up there.

1281
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 5: If they can stick the landing, they're right up there

1282
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 5: with the Trinity season of Dexter.

1283
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,439
Speaker 3: It's so good. Wow, we'll see if they can stick

1284
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 3: the landing. Okay, all right, Well, let's hope. So that's

1285
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 3: always that seems to be the tricky part. Alvin Kamara Scott,

1286
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 3: is he completely cooked or is he medium?

1287
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 8: Well?

1288
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 5: I put medium well, and it might just as as

1289
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 5: thora alluded to just out in team necessity, that offense

1290
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 5: might have to run through him. His his elusiveness and

1291
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 5: explosives are gone. He's not making the play, he's not

1292
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 5: dodging defenders, he's not breaking tackles, he's not getting those

1293
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 5: huge plays anymore. But he gets top five to ten

1294
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 5: catches and targets every year in PPR Medium. Well, maybe

1295
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 5: in standard he's cooked. I could say in standard he

1296
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 5: might be cooked, but it might be one last year here.

1297
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 3: Yep, I got medium well, you know, really last year

1298
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 3: downright gallant for Alvin Kamara in the face of much

1299
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 3: of the same problems he had he's looking at this year.

1300
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 3: But even worse without any starting wide receivers, and every

1301
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 3: team just knew if you took Alvin Kamara out of

1302
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 3: the game that the Saints were going to lose. Yet

1303
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 3: he's still posted his highest yards per carrying three years.

1304
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 3: He had an eighteen percent broken tackle rate last year,

1305
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 3: which isn't great, but it's also identical to Saquon Barkley

1306
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 3: and James Cook, who were fantastic fantasy producers. He actually

1307
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 3: posted his highest PFF grade in four seasons last year,

1308
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 3: and they added a first round left tackle in Kelvin Banks.

1309
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 3: So I'm actually kind of optimistic that Alvin Khmara's got

1310
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 3: another good year left in him. And like you two,

1311
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 3: I'm choosing medium. Well. Let's go to James Connor, aged thirty.

1312
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 3: Is he completely cooked or is he medium well? Four?

1313
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 4: James Connor is medium well. I love James Connor.

1314
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 6: James Connor overcame cancer to have an NFL career, and

1315
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 6: now no one would have assumed this when he was

1316
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 6: coming out of pit. The last two seasons were the

1317
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 6: first two seasons of James Connor's career where he went

1318
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 6: over a thousand yards rushing, which is just wild, right,

1319
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 6: Like I mean, those are like his his six and

1320
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 6: seventh years in the league. I think this guy can

1321
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 6: still play and his game. The physicality and the muscle

1322
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 6: that the hammer stuff, the depreciation of the athleticism, I

1323
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 6: don't think's going to hurt quite as much, for instance,

1324
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 6: as a guy like Kamara. I think he's facing probably

1325
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 6: a steeper cliff when that comes for him. But I'm

1326
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 6: gonna say medium well with Connor.

1327
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 3: All right, Scott, Are you also medium well on James Connor?

1328
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:41,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, also medium well, And in part it's because when

1329
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 5: he is healthy, he gets such a high percentage. He

1330
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 5: gets everything, and he gets the targets, he gets the touch,

1331
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,000
Speaker 5: the goal line work, he gets everything in that role,

1332
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 5: and he doesn't have much for competition. They didn't bring

1333
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 5: any rookies in or anything. You can also argue that

1334
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 5: that offense kind of found a little bit of stride

1335
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:01,960
Speaker 5: at the end of the year, and if that continues

1336
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 5: and McBride breaks out more, Harrison improves, they're going to

1337
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 5: keep the defense's offense and it's going to be an

1338
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 5: improved offense that rises at the tide of all the boats.

1339
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 3: Agree with all of that. Medium well on James Connor,

1340
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 3: age thirty. Let me give you a stat on this.

1341
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 3: He finished third best in avoided tackle rate last year.

1342
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 3: And if you tighten up the radius on that to

1343
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 3: runners who had at least one hundred and sixty carries,

1344
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 3: number one an avoided tackle rate, which is you know,

1345
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 3: age thirty James Connor. I kept thinking that, you know,

1346
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 3: like the end is coming one of these years, but

1347
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 3: it just there were no signs of it last season.

1348
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to a trickier one, and I

1349
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 3: know this will be hotly debated. Hyreek Hill age thirty one.

1350
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 3: Is he completely cooked or is he just medium well?

1351
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 6: Or I'm gonna say that he is cooked as a

1352
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 6: star wide receiver one last year worst season of his career,

1353
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:02,040
Speaker 6: finished with lesson I thought, and yards yards per reception.

1354
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 6: It really stands out to you when when you look

1355
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 6: at that the depreciation of that last year eleven point

1356
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 6: eight was the second worst of any season of his career. Wait,

1357
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 6: when he's had full time duties out there, I don't

1358
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 6: know that he's the wide receiver one on his own

1359
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 6: team anymore.

1360
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna say, as far as that goes, he

1361
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 4: has cooked.

1362
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 3: All right, Scott tyreek Hill age thirty one, cooked or

1363
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 3: medium well.

1364
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 5: A lot of a lot of similar to thor on

1365
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 5: his you know, yards per reception and his explosives drying up.

1366
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 5: I wonder if part of that is because Tua was

1367
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 5: second in checkdown passes. He became a checkdown king last

1368
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 5: year last year. But also that hasn't changed. Two is

1369
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:46,760
Speaker 5: still there. It's not like it's not like that's going

1370
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 5: to change for Tyreek Hill this year.

1371
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:51,919
Speaker 3: I have miscooked, all right. I also had. I thought

1372
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 3: this would be a little more hotly debated. And if

1373
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 3: you do want to hear the full debate on Tyreek Hill,

1374
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 3: check out Thursday's Chop Pod cast. Matthew Friedman and I

1375
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 3: in a stirring a great disagree moment on both sides

1376
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 3: of the Tyreek Hill argument. I was on the cooked side.

1377
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 3: Let's address the two excuse right now for lack of

1378
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:16,799
Speaker 3: productivity from last year. Because to A played twelve games,

1379
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 3: we act like Toss missed twelve games. No, he played

1380
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:25,879
Speaker 3: twelve games. In those twelve Tyreek Hill had two games

1381
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:29,600
Speaker 3: as a top ten wide receiver last year and five

1382
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 3: finishes as wide receiver thirty or worse. No bueno on

1383
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 3: tyre Tyreek Hill out so much.

1384
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 5: Devin Han average like twenty one fantasy points the game

1385
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 5: with there was some.

1386
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:44,680
Speaker 3: Of that, There was some of that. You know, we

1387
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 3: might none of us drapped in Jalen Watt. We're not

1388
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:49,680
Speaker 3: even talking about Jalen Wattle that much. This might be

1389
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 3: a baton passing season to Jalen Waddle. Maybe we should

1390
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 3: be targeting him a little bit more. All Right, We've

1391
01:08:55,600 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 3: got another aging veteran player, Davante Adams, aged two. We've

1392
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 3: already alluded to him in this show once before. Thor

1393
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 3: is he completely cooked or is he medium? Well?

1394
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:11,200
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say that he's medium well, and he's looked

1395
01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:13,679
Speaker 6: very good in camp. And this is a guy who

1396
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 6: it hit amazing ball skills and body adjustments and stuff

1397
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 6: like that. His game it's not on the razor's edge

1398
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 6: of some of these guys. The guys that are led

1399
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 6: with their athleticism, those are Tyreek Hill. Those are the

1400
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 6: guys that I'm afraid that the cliff is coming for them.

1401
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 6: DeVante Adams' game has never been predicated on that. I

1402
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 6: think he's gonna age more gracefully than some of these

1403
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:35,439
Speaker 6: other guys were talking about.

1404
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 4: Not cooked.

1405
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 5: I love this. I'm just gonna jump in charge. DeVante Adams.

1406
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:44,120
Speaker 5: I have medium well. For stuff I mentioned earlier. He

1407
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 5: was better than Garrett Wilson when they played together. A

1408
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 5: bunch a lot of these players. You saw some drop

1409
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 5: off last year. I didn't see drop off with Adam

1410
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:54,080
Speaker 5: last year. And I put just what Thor was saying.

1411
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 5: I put Adams, who wins mostly nowadays on incredible route

1412
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 5: running that's still there. He doesn't need the speed for that,

1413
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:04,880
Speaker 5: he doesn't need the athleticism. He's got the route running

1414
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 5: that's going to keep him. You keep him in good

1415
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 5: graces with Sean McVay and fantasy and fantasy players.

1416
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 3: Adams has always been a player that can play anywhere

1417
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 3: on the field the X y Z. I believe that

1418
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 3: he's gonna walk into the Cooper Cup role. I think

1419
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 3: they're gonna run from the slot a lot. They know

1420
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 3: how to design plays to to that position, and I

1421
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 3: think he's gonna thrive there too. We all agree DeVante

1422
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 3: Adams medium well for this year. All right, let's ratchet

1423
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:35,760
Speaker 3: up the calendar quite a bit and go to Travis

1424
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:41,519
Speaker 3: Kelsey age thirty five. The drop off was obvious last year,

1425
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 3: but that doesn't mean it's gonna happen this year. Thor

1426
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 3: is he completely cooked or is he medium? Well?

1427
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 6: Are we talking about as a podcast hoster at tight

1428
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 6: end in the nflcast? Yeah, that's where he is ascending,

1429
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 6: But he is totally cooked. As far as an NFL player.

1430
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,599
Speaker 6: I don't like him for Fantasy this year, way lower

1431
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 6: on him than than his ADP. We we have seen

1432
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 6: him go down now for three straight years, you know,

1433
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 6: twenty twenty two he at thirteen hundred thirty eight receiving yards,

1434
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:10,720
Speaker 6: nine hundred and eighty four and twenty twenty three last

1435
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:13,120
Speaker 6: year down to eight twenty three. It's gonna be going

1436
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 6: down again. Travis Kelcey is cooked.

1437
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 3: All right, Scott Travis kelce h thirty five cooked or medium? Well?

1438
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 5: I think he may be cooked, but he's going off.

1439
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 5: The board is tight end seven generally in the eighth

1440
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 5: or so. And he went the tenth of two of

1441
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 5: my drafts this week. Yeah, at that price, I'm starting

1442
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:37,839
Speaker 5: to wonder is this a mahomes alah Brady and Gronk

1443
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:41,880
Speaker 5: and his incentives. There's more competition for targets, but maybe

1444
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:44,599
Speaker 5: that just opens Kelsey up down, you know, in the

1445
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:47,760
Speaker 5: in the in the seams a little bit more does

1446
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:52,599
Speaker 5: Mahomes give Kelsey his one final, last big hurrah year

1447
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:57,680
Speaker 5: before he calls it a day. I honestly like, if

1448
01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 5: he's going eighth, nine, tenth, I'm a little bit more in.

1449
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:03,720
Speaker 5: I do think he's pretty cooked. But if that's the

1450
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 5: price tag, I'm willing to take it.

1451
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 3: All right, So we've got a cook, we've got a

1452
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:11,040
Speaker 3: medium we haven't had. I think I basically put a

1453
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 3: bit well, he's not medium. Well all right, you know,

1454
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:18,000
Speaker 3: the eye test says he slowed down last year, but

1455
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 3: also here's some numbers behind it. Per next Gen stats,

1456
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:25,719
Speaker 3: Kelsey's yards per catch dropped to just three point seven,

1457
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 3: down from five point two. That is a massive drop.

1458
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:33,679
Speaker 3: His separation dropped from three point seven yards to three

1459
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:37,720
Speaker 3: point two yards, and he fell from fifth to thirteenth

1460
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:41,240
Speaker 3: in end zone target percentage, which helps explain why he

1461
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 3: only scored three times last year. Those are all concerning

1462
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 3: trends for me.

1463
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:47,759
Speaker 5: On Travis Kelcey, I will say there's been notes that

1464
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:49,719
Speaker 5: that the last two years he wasn't in the best

1465
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 5: shape coming into camp, and he's in better shape than

1466
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:52,639
Speaker 5: the last two years.

1467
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:56,280
Speaker 3: I know that's a common camp thing, but you'd think

1468
01:12:56,920 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 3: you'd think dating Taylor Swift would keep you in remarkable

1469
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 3: cardio shape.

1470
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 5: I think I think he knows this is the last year,

1471
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 5: and that's why he's like, I'm getting in Well, Jesus Thor.

1472
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:13,639
Speaker 3: Or Jesus charge Adam feeling is age thirty five? Does

1473
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 3: he have one more year left in him? Is he cooked?

1474
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:18,040
Speaker 3: Or is he merely medium? Well? Thor?

1475
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:21,960
Speaker 4: For for fantasy purposes, he's cooked. But for as far.

1476
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:24,160
Speaker 6: As a usable on field guy, you can be a

1477
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 6: wide receiver three still, you know, runs good routes and

1478
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 6: he has good you know, it's going back to the

1479
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 6: Devonte Adams saying obviously not not saying players and Feeling's older.

1480
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,719
Speaker 6: Feeling what is he two years older than than the

1481
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:38,639
Speaker 6: next oldest receiver that's still active in the NFL? So good,

1482
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 6: good for him for hanging on. But yeah, that's what

1483
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 6: he is now.

1484
01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:44,599
Speaker 3: All right, Scott Adam feelen cooked or medium?

1485
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 5: Well, boy, this one's actually tough for me because is

1486
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 5: he a panther or is he a Viking? If his

1487
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 5: end of the season season told us anything, he was

1488
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:57,320
Speaker 5: still a you know, a wide receiver that can do

1489
01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,840
Speaker 5: things fantasy wise. He had several good games games. My

1490
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 5: concern is those games the last two years. Last year

1491
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 5: it took seven point seven targets per game. The year

1492
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:08,960
Speaker 5: before it took over eight targets per game. Will he

1493
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:11,519
Speaker 5: see that in either of the two offenses outside of

1494
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:15,479
Speaker 5: potentially Minnesota for the first three games, I'm gonna go

1495
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 5: with cooked. But if you say medium well or well,

1496
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:20,639
Speaker 5: I'm absolutely fine with it because he shows he's still.

1497
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say medium well week thirteen forward, so that's,

1498
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:27,479
Speaker 3: you know whatever, six games, Week thirteen forward. Feeling Pro

1499
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:32,840
Speaker 3: Football focuses wide receiver eleven and in PPR points. Last year,

1500
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 3: from Week thirteen forward he was wide receiver twenty. He

1501
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:39,679
Speaker 3: made a couple of astounding circus catches that no receiver

1502
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:42,160
Speaker 3: should make in the second half of last year. Bryce

1503
01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:44,799
Speaker 3: Young is still as sending the drafting of Teed McMillan

1504
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:46,840
Speaker 3: could easily be a positive for Theeling, and that, you know,

1505
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:49,120
Speaker 3: because Thealen was kind of like the go to receiver.

1506
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 3: I like Theland Moore as the second receiver. Still optimistic.

1507
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 3: I loved what I saw from a skill set standpoint

1508
01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:58,360
Speaker 3: last season on Adam Felin. I'm not ready to suggest

1509
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:00,760
Speaker 3: that he has done I just think he needs that

1510
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:03,720
Speaker 3: eight targets a game to do it well. That would help.

1511
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 3: We would take a targets a game from any of

1512
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 3: our Fantasy Wide receivers, including Adam Feeling. When we come back,

1526
01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 3: we like to call three Tough Questions.

1527
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:38,760
Speaker 2: We begin with question number one.

1528
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:45,600
Speaker 3: In a super flex league, give me the two lowest

1529
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:51,759
Speaker 3: ADP quarterbacks who you'd be willing to roll with into

1530
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:55,559
Speaker 3: the season thor we start with you.

1531
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,720
Speaker 4: For me, that and one of them aren't going to

1532
01:16:58,760 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 4: surprise anyone.

1533
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:01,840
Speaker 6: But for me, the two guys are JJ McCarthy and

1534
01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 6: Trevor Lawrence JJ McCarthy ADP of one hundred and thirty.

1535
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:10,559
Speaker 6: He's ninetieth on my board, and then Trevor Lawrence ADP

1536
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 6: of one fifty three. I have them one hundred and seventeenth,

1537
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 6: so I'm way higher on those guys. If I miss

1538
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,559
Speaker 6: out on the parade of quarterbacks early, those are the

1539
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 6: two guys that I'm targeting.

1540
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 3: All right. That was Trevor Lawrence and mister J. J.

1541
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:27,440
Speaker 3: McCarthy JJ McCarthy. There you go, all right, I like it, Scott,

1542
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:32,840
Speaker 3: Who are the two lowest ADP quarterbacks who you'd be

1543
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:35,800
Speaker 3: willing to roll into a Super Flex season with?

1544
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:39,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, we are in the same rage once I get

1545
01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:43,320
Speaker 5: once I get to the Drake May JJ McCarthy, Herbert

1546
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:46,920
Speaker 5: loves Stroud Lawrence area, I want two of those, and

1547
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:51,680
Speaker 5: I found myself taking JJ McCarthy and I actually have

1548
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:54,439
Speaker 5: been going with Drake May for the you know, potential

1549
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 5: rushing up side the McDaniels offense. You know they brought

1550
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:01,400
Speaker 5: in more weapons. They brought in stuff Diggs, Travion Henderson

1551
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:05,559
Speaker 5: can catch passes. I still think he'll Leana and Hunter Henry.

1552
01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 5: I think that offense is going to be a little

1553
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 5: better this year, and May is going to improve in

1554
01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:11,840
Speaker 5: year two. And then you've got that rushing up side.

1555
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 5: I know his metrics aren't from last year, aren't really sustainable,

1556
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:18,719
Speaker 5: but I want him to be that potential rushing quarterback

1557
01:18:18,760 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 5: for me, and then I want JJ is that slightly

1558
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 5: safer in what I think could be a high powered offense,

1559
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:25,600
Speaker 5: especially by the end of the season. So when I

1560
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:28,720
Speaker 5: devised this question, and we don't we don't talk enough

1561
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:31,080
Speaker 5: superflex leagues, even though we love super flex and we

1562
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:33,559
Speaker 5: think superflex is the way to play.

1563
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:35,880
Speaker 3: So I wanted to get in a question on super flex.

1564
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:38,759
Speaker 3: I thought myself, Yes.

1565
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 5: My son who's twelve, him and his friends have never

1566
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:42,639
Speaker 5: played in the one quarterback league.

1567
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 3: That's raising right right there. Yeah, at a boy love it.

1568
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:50,640
Speaker 3: I thought to myself, there's no way we're going to

1569
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:52,280
Speaker 3: land on the same guys. This is going to be

1570
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:55,080
Speaker 3: too hard of a question because we won't land on

1571
01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 3: the same players. Now I've got Drake May and my

1572
01:18:57,320 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 3: real life rankings way up at quarterback eleven. I loved

1573
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 3: dra May, so you know, but this question was formulated

1574
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:06,559
Speaker 3: at ADP. Who's the last two quarterbacks you want to take?

1575
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:10,680
Speaker 3: Drake May JJ McCarthy to me, I'm ready to go

1576
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:13,439
Speaker 3: to war with those young second year slingers right there

1577
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 3: because they both have mobility. I'm getting mobility upside if

1578
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 3: like five hundred rushing yards, five rushing touchdowns, and I

1579
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:24,719
Speaker 3: don't have to pay the price that comes with Josh

1580
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:27,639
Speaker 3: Allen and Lamar Jackson and Jayden Daniels and Jalen Hurts.

1581
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 2: You know.

1582
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 3: Granted they don't have the same level of rushing upside,

1583
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:34,719
Speaker 3: but I'm getting some of that same safety and ceiling

1584
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:37,800
Speaker 3: that those rushing numbers get out of Drake May and

1585
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:40,799
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy. I think Drake May is sitting on a really,

1586
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:44,759
Speaker 3: really nice second year. His play last year downright gallant.

1587
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:47,320
Speaker 3: Behind the world the league's worst offensive line and worst

1588
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 3: set of receivers. There's going to be some nice upside

1589
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:54,520
Speaker 3: in Drake May. Let's go to our next question.

1590
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:56,160
Speaker 2: Tough Question number two.

1591
01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:02,639
Speaker 3: Washington running back Jacori Krossky merit is the biggest mover

1592
01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 3: in pre season ADP over the last two weeks forty

1593
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 3: four spots. He's gone up to be more and it's

1594
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:12,400
Speaker 3: gonna be more now, right, this is you know, this

1595
01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 3: is the trade on Friday. Moving Brian Robinson out has

1596
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:21,639
Speaker 3: really cemented an opportunity for Jacorey Krofsky Merrit Will Bill

1597
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:26,800
Speaker 3: end the season as a running back one, running back two,

1598
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:31,000
Speaker 3: flex or bench level player. For this one, we begin

1599
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:32,000
Speaker 3: with Scott Fish.

1600
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll start off with I think it's running back two,

1601
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 5: just just to answer your question, because sometimes I forget

1602
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:43,200
Speaker 5: to do that. The coaching staff has big plans for Eckler.

1603
01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:45,240
Speaker 5: They've been talking about that a lot, and it might

1604
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:46,560
Speaker 5: be Eckler Swansong.

1605
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:48,040
Speaker 3: He's still the pass catching back.

1606
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 5: They did trade Robinson, I think, yeah, I'm just I'm

1607
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 5: just gonna lean on RB two because if you are

1608
01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:00,000
Speaker 5: a if you're a starting running backer, even in between

1609
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:03,719
Speaker 5: the twenties running back on that Washington offense, you're gonna

1610
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:06,439
Speaker 5: get enough volume and there's enough question marks with a

1611
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 5: lot of the guys in that sixteen through twenty four range.

1612
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:11,080
Speaker 5: Bill can easily fall within that.

1613
01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:15,160
Speaker 3: All Right, Thorpe Washington running back to Cory Krofsky, Merritt

1614
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 3: the biggest mover in preseason drafts. Will he end the

1615
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:22,639
Speaker 3: season as an RB one, RB two flex or bench

1616
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:23,479
Speaker 3: level player?

1617
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 4: I'm also going RB two.

1618
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:28,799
Speaker 6: Before the Brian Robinson trade, I had Jacory Krofsky Merritt

1619
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 6: RB thirty. I now have him RB twenty three. So

1620
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:35,200
Speaker 6: by definition, I think he's an RB two. And yeah,

1621
01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:39,240
Speaker 6: that ADP is about the ADP stunks. That thing's going

1622
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:39,679
Speaker 6: to the moon.

1623
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:44,160
Speaker 3: This morning I had RB two as my answer, and

1624
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:48,200
Speaker 3: then I thought to myself, I'm gonna look up everything

1625
01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:51,799
Speaker 3: I know. And Chris Rodriguez went back, looked at college,

1626
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 3: looked back, went to his games last year, including game

1627
01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 3: where he got a bunch of carries. Week thirteen, Chris

1628
01:21:57,280 --> 01:21:59,680
Speaker 3: Rodrigez is gonna be a problem. He is a three

1629
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:04,360
Speaker 3: year veteran. He knows this system intimately. He's shifty, he's

1630
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:06,840
Speaker 3: got wiggle, he's got good vision, not a lot of burst,

1631
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:09,920
Speaker 3: not a ton of speed in his two year career,

1632
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:13,040
Speaker 3: Chris Rodriguez and granted small sample size, limited number of

1633
01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 3: carries four point eight and four point nine yards per

1634
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 3: carry for Chris Rodriguez. This kid's and he's built. He

1635
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:24,720
Speaker 3: could he could be a goal line guy. Potentially. I

1636
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:27,160
Speaker 3: don't know that he's one hundred percent that, but maybe

1637
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:29,400
Speaker 3: I think this thing is going to take a while

1638
01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:32,240
Speaker 3: to shake out. You know, we get very, very excited

1639
01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:34,760
Speaker 3: about rookies all the time every year. We love the

1640
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:39,080
Speaker 3: new faces. Coaches love safety, they love guys who know

1641
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:41,280
Speaker 3: the game plan, they know guys, they like guys that

1642
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:44,440
Speaker 3: can pick up a pass rush. This is Chris Rodriguez

1643
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 3: is going to be in the mix here. I think

1644
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:48,760
Speaker 3: more than people want to believe, and for longer than

1645
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:51,519
Speaker 3: people might want to believe, And I believe the correct

1646
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:55,519
Speaker 3: answer for Jacorey Krosky merit across spread across the entire

1647
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 3: season is going to be flexlake. It doesn't.

1648
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:00,840
Speaker 5: It doesn't take as as much as you think to

1649
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:02,040
Speaker 5: get into that top twenty four.

1650
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a fair point. That is a fair point.

1651
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 3: Austin Eckler. I mean, this is all but cemented in

1652
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 3: my Eckler's role doesn't change a lot, but it might

1653
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:13,080
Speaker 3: expand by ten percent. That remains to me one of

1654
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:17,920
Speaker 3: the most undervalued players in fantasy football right now. Okay,

1655
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 3: let's go to our final question.

1656
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:21,920
Speaker 2: Tough question number three.

1657
01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:26,439
Speaker 3: The rookie that is impressed more than any other is

1658
01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:31,320
Speaker 3: New England running back Traveon Henderson. Will Henderson and the

1659
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:35,240
Speaker 3: season as an RB one in RB two flex or

1660
01:23:35,320 --> 01:23:38,759
Speaker 3: bench level player. For this one, we go back to thor.

1661
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:42,479
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say RB two with Krasky Merita would have

1662
01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:45,240
Speaker 6: been low end RB two. With Henderson, he's right on

1663
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:47,640
Speaker 6: the cut line for me between RB two and RB one,

1664
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:50,400
Speaker 6: so a high end RB two, but that's still where

1665
01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 6: I'm at with him. I can't slide him into the

1666
01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 6: top twelve of the running backs, even being bullish on him.

1667
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:58,240
Speaker 6: But nevertheless I am very bollish on him. So a

1668
01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:00,840
Speaker 6: high end RB two with upside to attention become an.

1669
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:03,639
Speaker 3: RB one, all right, Scott Traveon Henderson. Will he finish

1670
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 3: the season as an RB one, RB two flex or

1671
01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:08,719
Speaker 3: bench level player?

1672
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:09,559
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1673
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:12,800
Speaker 5: I also have him as RB two in this I don't.

1674
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:14,680
Speaker 5: I think he's going to get the better part of

1675
01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 5: that split. Josh McDaniels keeps raving about him. He'll get

1676
01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:20,040
Speaker 5: the pass cat, he can do it all, but I

1677
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:23,760
Speaker 5: don't have him quite reaching that top twelve. A lot

1678
01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:25,960
Speaker 5: of Thorists points are accurate, so I'm gonna leave it

1679
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:29,200
Speaker 5: at that RB two higher RB two than I had

1680
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:31,120
Speaker 5: Jickoy Krassky merit though too.

1681
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 3: We talked a little bit about this last week, and

1682
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:38,759
Speaker 3: I want to hit on it again. Your offensive coordinator

1683
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:43,680
Speaker 3: for the Patriots is once again Josh McDaniel. In eighteen

1684
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:47,320
Speaker 3: years as an offensive coordinator or head coach, he has

1685
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:51,840
Speaker 3: had a split backfield in seventeen of the eighteen. The

1686
01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:54,320
Speaker 3: only one he didn't was his first year when he

1687
01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 3: inherited Stephen Jackson, a borderline Hall of Fame level player

1688
01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 3: at running back. That tells me that in the fact

1689
01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:06,040
Speaker 3: that Rimandre Stevenson he labored last year. I know he

1690
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:08,559
Speaker 3: underwhelmed from a fantasy perspective, but he was running behind

1691
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:10,800
Speaker 3: the worst offensive line in football, and he played injured

1692
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:12,840
Speaker 3: all season long, no help from the passing game with

1693
01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 3: those terrible wide receivers. Stevenson's going to be back in

1694
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:18,639
Speaker 3: the mix more than people want to believe in, including

1695
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:22,919
Speaker 3: probably at the stripe. So that caps the upside for Henderson.

1696
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:25,320
Speaker 3: He still looks like an amazing talent, and the things

1697
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:29,280
Speaker 3: are seeing in preseason translate to the regular season. He

1698
01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:35,280
Speaker 3: will be an RB two producer this year. All right,

1699
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:38,519
Speaker 3: let's go to our sleepers for the week. Thor you

1700
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:40,880
Speaker 3: get to go first. Who is your sleeper this week?

1701
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:44,639
Speaker 6: I'm going with Jalen Colcher, the Carolina Panthers wide receiver,

1702
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:47,960
Speaker 6: and we'll feel even better about it if and when

1703
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:51,360
Speaker 6: Adam Thielen gets traded out of town. Jalen Coker needs

1704
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:53,240
Speaker 6: to be starting. Jalen Colker is one of the best

1705
01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 6: UDFA receivers we've had the last several years in the NFL,

1706
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:58,479
Speaker 6: and he should not have gone undrafted. I had him

1707
01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:01,640
Speaker 6: as a fourth rounder on iyeboard UH six one and

1708
01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:04,800
Speaker 6: a half two eight eighty fifth percentile athlete and very

1709
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 6: very good ball skills.

1710
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:08,160
Speaker 4: On Jalen Coker. This is the guy.

1711
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:10,320
Speaker 6: And I said this in my scouting report when he

1712
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 6: was coming out of Holy Cross that his upside was

1713
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:16,000
Speaker 6: a possession wide receiver two in the NFL. You you

1714
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:18,720
Speaker 6: have now gotten to see some of those flashes from

1715
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 6: Jalen Coker. But Jalen Coker could be a big time

1716
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 6: Fantasy contributor this year at a discounted price point.

1717
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:27,600
Speaker 3: Carolina wide receiver, Jalen Coker. All right, Scott, who is

1718
01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:28,559
Speaker 3: your sleeper this week?

1719
01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:32,679
Speaker 5: I'm going with the Miami running back Alie Gordon former

1720
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:35,639
Speaker 5: DOAK Walker Award winner in twenty twenty three six one

1721
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 5: two twenty six eighty inch wingspan. I think that he

1722
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:42,160
Speaker 5: could be the moster to Devin h Chan. I think

1723
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:44,200
Speaker 5: the Jalen Wright is more of a backup to ah

1724
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:48,000
Speaker 5: n Uh. This could be the moster role for him.

1725
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:50,439
Speaker 5: And he's looked like their best running back. And I

1726
01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 5: know a Chan's been been missing time, he's been injured,

1727
01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:56,200
Speaker 5: but Gordon has looked much better than right this preseason.

1728
01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:59,679
Speaker 3: I'm torn on Oli Gordon. When I watched his college

1729
01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:01,800
Speaker 3: stuff and throw your way better this than I am,

1730
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:04,679
Speaker 3: I was like, man, he looks okay. I don't see

1731
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:06,640
Speaker 3: special traits. I was looking. You know, I'm always leave

1732
01:27:06,680 --> 01:27:08,640
Speaker 3: for special traits that will make you stand out at

1733
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:12,120
Speaker 3: the NFL level. With Ali Gordon, I didn't see a ton.

1734
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:15,080
Speaker 3: Now he's been powering through slappies and you know in

1735
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:18,640
Speaker 3: third string defenses in this preseason he's looked good. Am

1736
01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 3: I seeing it wrong on Ali Gordon.

1737
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:22,720
Speaker 6: I think what we found out last year is he's

1738
01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:25,400
Speaker 6: not a singular superstar talent. You know, of course that's

1739
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:27,800
Speaker 6: going to raise the tide of everyone around him. The

1740
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,160
Speaker 6: situation got bad at Oklahoma State and then his game

1741
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 6: went down, But he's a guy who's certainly going to

1742
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 6: get what is blocked for him. He's also a reliable receiver,

1743
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 6: and he's sort of what the doctor ordered for Miami

1744
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:42,040
Speaker 6: needing short yardage type efficiency type guys. And I think

1745
01:27:42,080 --> 01:27:43,800
Speaker 6: he is a better fit. You know, you just think

1746
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:47,160
Speaker 6: about a platoon with Au Chain than Jalen Right. Jalen

1747
01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:49,639
Speaker 6: Wright's game is He's not as good of a version

1748
01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:52,840
Speaker 6: of Au Chain, but they have similar skill sets, right, So,

1749
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:56,679
Speaker 6: I think Ali Gordon has positioned himself to potentially siphon

1750
01:27:56,720 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 6: off some goal line work here in his first season.

1751
01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 4: And yeah, I'm sorry of tentatively bullish on him.

1752
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:06,479
Speaker 3: And Scott adroitly reminding us raheem mostered eighteen touchdowns two

1753
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 3: years ago in the Miami offense. That could be Ali Gordon. Yeah,

1754
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 3: I've talked about him any times. So I'm not going

1755
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:13,600
Speaker 3: to spend a lot of time on favorite sleeper of

1756
01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:16,360
Speaker 3: the year, Minnesota Viking running back Jordan Mason. The rest

1757
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:18,519
Speaker 3: of the world's caught up to this story. It's going

1758
01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 3: to be more of a fifty to fifty time share.

1759
01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:21,559
Speaker 3: He's going to get the goal line work. I believe

1760
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:23,720
Speaker 3: Jordan Mason is going to be sitting on double digit

1761
01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:27,320
Speaker 3: touchdowns this season and perhaps twelve fourteen touchdowns in the

1762
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 3: cards for him, and he might just be better than

1763
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:33,840
Speaker 3: Aaron Jones at this respective stage of their careers. Thank
