1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: Way then, everybody. It is Wednesday, August twenties, twenty two.

2
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show, where we're gonna

3
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: get plenty of snaps coming up this weekend. It's me

4
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: your Man, NAMG Marcus Grant, joined by Michael f. Floria.

5
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: We've got the specialists. It's a cast of dozens that

6
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: helps us put this show on. You give it, give

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: yourself some looks. Absolutely, Uh, we gotta let going on,

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: man um it is and we said a one more week,

9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: which is sort of I we kind of have that

10
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: I guess bye week before the record season starts. I

11
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: don't know, it's like the rest of the week for us.

12
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: I like to think right right, which I think honestly

13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: is the time to do draft. Know people are doing drafts.

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: You and I were in a draft together last night.

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: But I feel like that that empty week now it

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: should be officially like National Fantasy Football Draft Week. Yeah.

17
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: My home league always does it on Labor Day weekend,

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: but now that there's no football there, it just feels like, yeah,

19
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: like you could just dedicate the whole like day or

20
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: a couple hour is getting friends together, get some drinks,

21
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: have a good time. Yeah, because right now, like you know,

22
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: all of us degenerates and nerds are like doing drafts,

23
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: and so like last night, I'm doing a draft, like

24
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm on my phone. I'm also like making dinner for

25
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: my kid and like trying to wrangle him at the

26
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: same time. So like that's gonna be my excuse with

27
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: some of my picks go sideways, like I was distracted.

28
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: It didn't matter. Um, anyway, if you want to get

39
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: That doesn't apply to you people on the audio whatever. Anyway, Um,

40
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: your rankings are up. So we're gonna start breaking these

41
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: down over the next couple of weeks. We're gonna look

42
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: at the quarterback rankings today. We're also going to continue

43
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: our division previews with the NFC South, so let's just

44
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,279
Speaker 1: dive right into that. And of course, if you've been listening,

45
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: you know how we do this. We go by order

46
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: of last year's finish, which means we start with the

47
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They were thirteen and four in one.

48
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: Their passing leader, no surprise, Tom Brady, who may or

49
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: may not be on the masked Singer. We still wait

50
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: to find that out. I caught what you did on

51
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: Fantasy Lots. Yeah, yeah, check out Fantasy Live. I might

52
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: have slipped in a very subtle masked singer reference when

53
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: talking about Tom Brady during the show. But anyway, just

54
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: over fifty three hundred yards last season, forty three touchdowns,

55
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: twelve interceptions. He was the QB three. Leonard Fournette, you're

56
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: rushing leader in Tampa eight hundred twelve yards, eight rushing touchdowns.

57
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: He was the RB six. Of course he had some

58
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: receiving yards to go along with that. And then Chris Godwin,

59
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: you're receiving leader, ninety six catches, eleven hundred yards and

60
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: five receiving touchdowns. The wide receiver fifteen. I want to

61
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: start with Chris Godwin because he had the injury at

62
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: the end of last season. It's still sort of working

63
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,119
Speaker 1: his way back now. The reports have been relatively positive,

64
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: but we don't know whether or not he is gonna

65
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: be full go a hundred percent once a week one starts.

66
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: So how are you approaching Chris Godwin in drafts? This

67
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: might come back to haunt me, but I really haven't

68
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: been targeting Chris Godwin in a lot of my drafts,

69
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: and I don't think the prices is egregious or anything

70
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: like that. But like you said, late season a c

71
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: L tear, and I've seen people tweet out and stuff

72
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: in posts that like he meets the criteria to be

73
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: one of these outliers who comes back and is like

74
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: himself right away. But I don't like using like a

75
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: starting spot, trying to guess on like an outlier and

76
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: and hoping that Chris Godwin is himself. I think if

77
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: you draft him on your patient, he could be a

78
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: huge boost for your team in the second half and

79
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: in the fantasy playoffs, But early on I I would

80
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: feel very uh cautious about using him. Let me correct myself.

81
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: I said nineties six catches with ninety eight catches last year.

82
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: But I'm with you. I've drafted him in the spots

83
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: I've drafted him. It has been more as kind of

84
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: a third wide receiver, where I know I've got two

85
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: guys that I can count on week to week, going

86
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: into at the start of the season and waiting to

87
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: see whether or not he's going to build up. Now,

88
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: I think when he's right, I think he is the

89
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: primary target in this offense. He is the guy that

90
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: Brady loves going to. I mean, it's it's no secret

91
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady loves his slot guys. There's a reason

92
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: we kept banging away on West Welker and Julian Edelman

93
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: and all these guys for years. Chris Godwin is a

94
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: better version of all those players. But I'm with you,

95
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that I can make him one of

96
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: my top two primary receivers if I don't know that

97
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: he's a hundred percent. The upside is, though, do you

98
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: get Chris Godwin of your third receiver once he's healthy,

99
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: Chances are you've got a pretty deadly receiving group on

100
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: your squad at that point. Yeah, he's someone that like

101
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: you said I would, I would pick and choose like

102
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go into all my drafts and being like,

103
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: I want Chris Godwin on every single one of my

104
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: teams because I think a lot could go wrong. But

105
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: if you get him on like a team or two,

106
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: and like you said, you're in a good spot with

107
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: your other receivers, that is the exact scenario that you

108
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: want Chris Godwin. So next question, have you bought into

109
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: Rashad White? A k A. This is a Leonard Fournett question.

110
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: Uh No, because I'm in on Leonard four Nette. I'm

111
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: fine with taking Rashade White if you could get him

112
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: as like a double digit round sleeper or something like that.

113
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: But I'm bullish on League winner Lenny. I keep calling

114
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: him and and a friend of mine who i'm co

115
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: managing a team with, we were talking about players we

116
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: could target in drafts, and I'm like, Leonard Fournette is

117
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: an RB one that you can get in round two.

118
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: It's a great value, and he's like, yeah, but their

119
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: oln is banged up, and I'm like, you see a

120
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: banged up oline. That means maybe he won't run as much.

121
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: I see Tom Brady is gonna get more pressure, which

122
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: means Tom Brady's gonna dump it aall off to Leonard

123
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: fo Nette a whole bunch. So uh, If Rashade White

124
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: steals that role, that pass catching role, he could be amazing.

125
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: But I think we do this every year where we

126
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: hype up whoever Leonard for Nett's backup is, and then

127
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: the correct answer ends up being Leonard for Nett exactly. See,

128
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: that's the thing is that every year it's the same thing.

129
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: Everybody hates on Leonard Fournette, right Like the dude enjoys

130
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: his offseason. Maybe he has a couple of extra chicken

131
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: tenders or something like that. He comes in a little

132
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: bit overweight. It's a big story for a couple of weeks,

133
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: and then by the time we get to week one,

134
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: he's back in shape again. He catches the football, he

135
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: runs the football. I do think that note about the

136
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: offensive line a little bit of something to worry about.

137
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: They are certainly banged up along the front um. But

138
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: maybe that works in four nets favor in the sense of,

139
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: as you mentioned one, his ability to catch the football

140
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: and getting a lot of these cheap dump offs. But

141
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: the other part of it is of the guys in

142
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: the backfield. He's the one they trust the most in

143
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: past protection. That's important. Look, Tom Brady is three months

144
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: younger than me. I don't want blitzing linebackers in my face.

145
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: I want somebody who can protect me. Um. Now, mind you,

146
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: I've had a strawberry and I don't you know, eat

147
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: TV twelve shakes or any of that sort of thing.

148
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: So I probably not in the same level of shape

149
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: as he is. But but the fact that Leonard Fournet

150
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: is a guy they trust in past protection means he

151
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: can be on the field in third downs. It means

152
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: he's available for some of those short throws to be

153
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: sort of that third down back. I also don't love

154
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: the fact that we keep hearing Keyshawn Vaughan's name pop up,

155
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: not as any real threat to four net, but mostly

156
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: as a guy who's competing with White for a lot

157
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: of those snaps. So, um, Jubernard is still there too.

158
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: Jubernard is still there too. We know he could pass block,

159
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: so you could pass block and catch the football too.

160
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: So it just feels like for Nets, the only guy

161
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: with a real clear path toward opportunity. Everybody after that

162
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: is just sort of battling for whatever's left. So, UM,

163
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: I guess it's a long round about way of, you know,

164
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: pumping up Leonard Fournette. Leonard Fournette round two. I mean,

165
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: we'll take a wide receiver round one, Leonard four net

166
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: round two. You're you're good to go lock it in,

167
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: absolutely all right. So it gets us to our normal

168
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: question here. The first buck you're drafting, uh, the sleeper,

169
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: and the player to avoid in this offense. First buck

170
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: is lead winner Lenny the middle of the second round

171
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: or something like that. I will gladly take him. He

172
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: is probably the running back in the second round that

173
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: I have the most shares of in my draft so far.

174
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: Sleeper Julio Jones. And I know it's a wild to

175
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: call Julio Jones a sleeper because he's been arguably the

176
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: best wide receiver of his generation. But at this point

177
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: in time, a lot of people seem to think that

178
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: Julio Joe is washed and and I see why he

179
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: did not look well uh in Tennessee last year. But

180
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,679
Speaker 1: I'm willing to go back to the well again because

181
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: you look at what he did two years ago. His

182
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: metrics were basically on par with what he had been

183
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years before that, which was

184
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: still a borderline wide receiver one. I don't think he's

185
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: a wide receiver one anymore. But now you get him

186
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: as a reserve option, and there's been some chatter that

187
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: he's not actually gonna play wide receiver, that he could

188
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: be the new Gronk in this offense and beat people

189
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: up the seams and in the end zone. So I'm

190
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: I'm pretty bullish on Julio Jones because of the price

191
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: player to avoid. This one's tough for me. It's someone

192
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: that I thought I was gonna be very high on

193
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: this year and Mike Evans, but now they brought in Julio,

194
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: they brought in Russell Gauge, they have Chris Godwin potentially

195
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: back sooner than I was expecting. So Mike Evans is

196
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: still going as that premium when I thought he was

197
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: going to be like the alpha target with no really

198
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: no much competition there. But his ADP is not dropped

199
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: at all. So I went from you know, targeting him

200
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: to kind of just letting other people take him. Yeah,

201
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: I I would say that my my player off the board.

202
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: No surprise that's going to be learned for Nete there.

203
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: I still sort of like Russell Gauge as a sleeper option. Um,

204
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm not as bullish on him as I was earlier

205
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: in the off season because it looks like Godwin's getting

206
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: healthier and maybe there, but at least until I know

207
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: that he's a hundred percent, I think Gauge is gonna

208
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: get opportunity. I think there's something into it. When Tom

209
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: Brady calls you personally and says, hey, man, we want

210
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: you to come on over, I think that sort of

211
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: means something. So I still sort of believe that Russell Gauge,

212
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: at least early in the season, has an opportunity to

213
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: make an impact in that offense. Although I do like

214
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: the Julio Jones called because he's definitely on my radar.

215
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: But because of that, I think a guy to avoid

216
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: is is Cam Braid or you know, pick your pick

217
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: your bucks tight end at this point right, Um, because

218
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: Julio is likely going to be sort of that new gronk,

219
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: I think that means that there's less opportunity for any

220
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: of those other, you know, actual tight ends on the roster.

221
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: Not to mention the fact that Julio Jones wearing number

222
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 1: eighty five looks enormous. I don't like it. Though, I

223
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: don't like it. No, I go back to but I

224
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: it reminds me that eleven. Apparently it's a lot more

225
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: slimming than I thought it was, because he looks like

226
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: an absolute monster wearing eighty five. By the way, when

227
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: when this group is healthy, I mean Mike Evans, Chris Godwin,

228
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, Russell Cage. That's that's a scary group of

229
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: pass catchers. We might not have seen the last of

230
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: ground because we know Tom Brady is gonna get on

231
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: that phone. He even said he was like I might

232
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: be on the phone with him in the fall and

233
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: calling him up. And there's no better recruiter in NFL

234
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: history than Tom Brady. Like, if Tom Brady wants you,

235
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: he gets Like a couple of years ago, he blew

236
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: the Cot Show and then like grunt came running and everything,

237
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: like you know, this time he'll call it and and he'll

238
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: jump off like a bud Light party boat or something

239
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: like that, and uh, he'll show up and it'll be

240
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: all good again. So next up is the New Orleans Saints.

241
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: They were nine and eight in twenty one, missed out

242
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: on the playoffs in a season that was just filled

243
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: with injuries and all sorts of weirdness going on there.

244
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: But that you're passing leader last year, Jameis Winston. Let's

245
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: put a big asterisk mix to this one, right, he

246
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: had the eleven hundred and seventy yards. Of course, he

247
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: missed about half the season and within the injury fourteen touchdowns,

248
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: three interceptions. He was your QB thirty three. Of course

249
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: they had to use a number of different guys at

250
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: that spot. Last year. You're rushing leader Alvin Camara eight

251
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: yards on the ground, four rushing touchdowns RB eight because

252
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: of course you know Alvin Camarra is going to catch

253
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: the football. You're receiving leader yardage wise, Marquez Callaway forty

254
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: six catches six d nine yards, six receiving touchdowns. That

255
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: made him the wide receiver forty three. Your team leader

256
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: in receptions, the aforementioned Alvin Camara forty seven catches four

257
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: hundred thirty nine yards, five receiving touchdowns. It feels like

258
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: when we've talked about running backs this year, we haven't

259
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: talked a lot about Alvin Camaro um in the past.

260
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: I get we didn't talk about him because you're like, whatever,

261
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: Albun Camara, he's the top five running back, no doubt

262
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: about it. Just book it and we just all move on.

263
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: This year has been different because he's coming off the

264
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: board as a fringe RB one. I mean, you look

265
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: at him. He's getting drafted. Is maybe the tenth, eleventh,

266
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: twelfth running back off the board. There are a lot

267
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: of questions about the Saints office. I mean, as I

268
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: was as I was putting this run down together, I'm like,

269
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: we could do a whole show on the Saints offense

270
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: because there's so much unknown about it. So is Alvin

271
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: Kamara still a surefire, set it and forget it RB one?

272
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: This year? I think he's like a surefire, set it

273
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: and forget it in your fantasy Lina. But RB one,

274
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: I think being fringe is appropriate value for Alvin Kamara

275
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: because last year was the first year without Drew Brees.

276
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: And I know people like to say, well, he had

277
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: more targets and receptions with Jamis Winston, and that is true,

278
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: but he was eighty one or more every single year

279
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: with Drew Brees. First year with algibrees seven, which I

280
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: was shocked to realize led the Saints like that is

281
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: in the same known low number. Um, I still think

282
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: he's good for fifty to sixty catches something like that,

283
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: but he's not going to give you the eight plus.

284
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think that he always did with

285
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. And then you add in that to me,

286
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: I think he belongs in the same grouping as like

287
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: a DeAndre Swift and the running backs that he's kind

288
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: of going around who all have the ups had to

289
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: be top five running back but also could finish like

290
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: ten through twelve or something like that at the position.

291
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,599
Speaker 1: You talk about the target share that Camara had and

292
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: the fact that he only had forty seven catches, and

293
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: even though he was highly targeted by Jamis Winston, I

294
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: think it's also important to note that he was heavily

295
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: targeted by Jamis Winston in an offense that didn't have

296
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas. I mean, I remember this time last year,

297
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: we were trying to talk ourselves into the Marquis Callaway's,

298
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: the tray Kwan Smith's. We were trying to convince ourselves

299
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: that these guys had sort of late round value. They

300
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: might not see the field this year. They may not

301
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: see the field this year, right, Thomas is back, Crystal

302
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: Lovity is there there are you know, they brought in

303
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry, who Look. I know he's not necessarily a

304
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: fantasy darling, but he's a good real life football play.

305
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: Think he's a big threat to Alvin Kamara because they

306
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: never had a receiver who can be like that short

307
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: yardage route runner like Alvin Kamara has been for them. So,

308
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just curious as to what the target

309
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: share is. Will it sort of be the same? Um?

310
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: I guess the upside is we don't have Taysom Hill

311
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: to take any of those those goal line carries away

312
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: from him anymore. So maybe the touchdown upside, uh is

313
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: there a little bit? But I don't know that the

314
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: receiving upside for Camara is going to be this year

315
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: what it has been in the past. It's time for

316
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: Who's Gonna Eat? Presented by Uber Eats. Managing a fantasy

317
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: team and hitting refresh on your scores works up an appetite,

318
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: so order with Uber Eats today. So, after not having

319
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: him in our football lives for a couple of years,

320
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: we were expecting to see Michael Thomas back in action

321
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: this season. What are your expectations for hashtag can't guard Mike. Yeah,

322
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm exactly like you. I think his range of outcomes

323
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: is so vast, Like, could he be a top twelve

324
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver if he stays healthy? I think so? Or

325
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: could he, you know, just kind of get hurt, missed

326
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of time and fall flat on his face.

327
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: I think so. So because of that, I have him

328
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: ranked right now as my wide receiver twenty four UM

329
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: and I will fully admit he can easily outlive that

330
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: that draft ranking and be, like I said, a top

331
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: twelve wide receiver. But just the unknown. He hasn't played

332
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: in two years, there's injury, and there's also more target

333
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: competition for him than ever before because previous teams it

334
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: was like he was their whole wide receiver room. Now

335
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: that Olav Landry cameras. So I think the upside is

336
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: there definitely an upside shot we're taking, but I'm not

337
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: drafting him anywhere close to how we were a year

338
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: or two ago. From ten to twenty nineteen, he had

339
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: a minimum target share. That insane twenty nineteen season he

340
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: had he had a thirty percent target share. That's not

341
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: gonna happen this year. It's not and and look, they're

342
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: moving him presumably to the outside now, right with Jarvis

343
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: Landry there, you're not going to You're not gonna have

344
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas still living in the slot. At least I

345
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: don't believe that's going to be the case. And this

346
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: isn't to say he can't win on the outside, but

347
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: it is different. There are more places for Jamis Winston

348
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: to go with the football. The other part of this

349
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: is we haven't seen Jamis Winston and Michael Thomas together,

350
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: so we're not really sure what that's going to look like.

351
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: I can tell you that I've I've only drafted him

352
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: in a couple of spots, and and it's sort of

353
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: in some ways, it's like Chris Godwin right where I'm

354
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: taking here kind of as a third or fourth wide receiver.

355
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: I just whereas I have faith in Godwin to get

356
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: healthy and have a rapport with this quarterback and get

357
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: those opportunities. Everything about Thomas is such an unknown to me,

358
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: um and I know I've I've seen his a DP rising.

359
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: I've seen him now kind of bumping up to the

360
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: fifth round in some situations. That feels a little scary

361
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: to me. And I'm as you said to Chris Godwin

362
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: thing that was what was like going through my head.

363
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, he's kind of similar to Chris Godwin in

364
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: the sense of like the upside is very high, but

365
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: the floor is just like there's a lot of unknown

366
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: with this guy. And I know maybe it sounds like

367
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: a cop out answer, but like if anyone is telling

368
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: you they definitively know what Michael Thomas is gonna do

369
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: this year, they're lying. That person is lying to you. Yeah,

370
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: that person is lying to you because we just we

371
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: just don't know that. That's that's why for me, it's

372
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: been really hard to peg the Saints offense as a whole.

373
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: There's so much unknown. I mean, I know, you know,

374
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: Pete Carmichael still there is the offensive coordinator, but there's

375
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: a new head coach, you know, hopefully we get a

376
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: full season of Jameis Winston. There are new pieces in

377
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: this offense. There's just so much about this Hills playing

378
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: tight end play tight end, right, So there's just so

379
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: much we just don't know. Uh that it's it's really

380
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: made it hard. And I know, lately I've seen a

381
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: lot of people sort of planting the flag for for

382
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas and look, I wish you well, man. I

383
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: hope it works out. I really do. I wish no.

384
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: I have no ill will towards Michael Thomas. I just

385
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: don't know, so for the most part, I have kind

386
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: of stayed away. So that was Who's Gonna Eat presented

387
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: by Uber Eats, official on demand food delivery partner of

388
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: the NFL. Even if you make the wrong fantasy lineup call,

389
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: make the right call on delivery order with Uber Eats today.

390
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: So it gets us to our typical question here, first

391
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: player drafted, your sleeper and your player to avoid. First

392
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: player drafted is still Alvin Comarat. Despite you know, the

393
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 1: fact that I say that I don't value him as

394
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: highly as I used to last year. I still think

395
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: he's a great second round pick, much like Leonard four Nette,

396
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: even more of a reason to take a wide receiver

397
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: in round one, grabbed the running back in round two,

398
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: sleeper Crystal Lave to me, I think is a really

399
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: good sleeper. I know he got overlooked a little bit

400
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 1: in the draft because of Garrett Wilson and and he

401
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: was one of the big, like five wide receivers, but

402
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: then he fell to the Saints and everyone was like,

403
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: not a great landing spot. But I think he can

404
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: be one of those receivers that even if he doesn't

405
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,239
Speaker 1: have all the volume, I think his efficiency could make

406
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: up for it. Their players to avoid. I'd want nothing

407
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: to do with Jarvis Landry. We're we're talking about an

408
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 1: aging receiver who is going to be running a lot

409
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: of short routes. I don't think he's gonna get anywhere

410
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: close to the volume that he had in Miami or Cleveland.

411
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: So to me, I think Jarvis Landry is more of

412
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: a name than an actual fantasy asset. Yeah. Um, I

413
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 1: think Jarvis Landry is a good He's a good real

414
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: life football player where he can do some good things

415
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: for the Saints, but not necessarily from my fantasy team.

416
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: Camara is easily the first guy off the board. He's

417
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: he's still going as an early second round pick, so

418
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the first Saint that you're taking there.

419
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go sort of deep sleeper. And maybe this

420
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: is sort of wishcasting, but mark Ingram is still hanging

421
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: around there. He's still hanging around there in New Orleans.

422
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: And yes he's not the player he was a few

423
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: years ago, but still can be an effective running back.

424
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: It's not last year and a little bit that he

425
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: played for the Saints, right, I mean even when he

426
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: left Houston, he still was their leading Russia for a

427
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,959
Speaker 1: really long time after he left, although that probably has

428
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: more to do with the Texans to do with mark Ingram.

429
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: But he's still there, a guy potentially with some some

430
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: touchdown upside. I'm gonna you know, look, if you're drafting him,

431
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: you're you know, he's last last pick of the draft

432
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,239
Speaker 1: sort of thing. Maybe he's a waiver wire pickup. But

433
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: something happens to Alvin Kamara, then he stands to really

434
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: gain in that offense, uh, player to avoid. I'm kind

435
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: of with you. I mean you can make it. Jarvis Landry,

436
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: you can, I guess, just for the sake of of

437
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: you know, telling fantasy Twitter. Like, let's let's stop with

438
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: the Taysom Hill thing. Right, He's a Titan, He's officially

439
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: a tight end. Now we can stop. The only place

440
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: where it's appropriate to draft Taysom Hill is in like

441
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: the eighteenth round of a best Ball draft, just in

442
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: case he gets quarterbacks staffs this year or something like that.

443
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: Besides that, he should not be in your fantasy row.

444
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: I hesitate to bring this up, but those those years, man,

445
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: where we just used to have to battle about position

446
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: eligibility for Taysom Hill. If something happens to Jamis Winston

447
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: and they go to Taysom Hill, it's gonna happen all

448
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: over again because he's now a tight end everywhere, right

449
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: but in the Dalton. So oh yeah, I forgot it

450
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: in the Dalton. So we we at least we at

451
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: least have a buffer before we get to this Taysom

452
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: Hill argument. Uh, you know, the red Rifle can come

453
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: in and at least save us from our temporary misery

454
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: with with Taysom Hill. There, all right, Floria, we're gonna

455
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: talk about your top ten QB rankings for the season

456
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: fire away. Yeah. Number one is is this man right here,

457
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, who is just the absolute best, That's all

458
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: there is to it. I mean, he's the best. There's

459
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: no quarterback that at the same combination of running and

460
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: throwing as as this man right here. Um. Number two

461
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: is Justin Herbert, who I actually believe is the closest

462
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: thing existing to Josh Allen. I think they just need

463
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: to let him run more and he could be pretty

464
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: much what Alan is for fantasy purposes. This is when

465
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: it gets a little spicy. And number three I have

466
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson because I still believe his upside is sky

467
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: high due to the rushing ability and he's been passing

468
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: better in the last couple of years. At number four

469
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, who last year was a guaranteed twenty points

470
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: every week and now gets a j Brown in there

471
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: who could take like a quick little pass and take

472
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: it eight yards. Number five Kyler Murray, who again has

473
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: been a top five quarterback each of the last couple

474
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: of years and now has Marcus Brown, who I believe

475
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: it's the best field stretcher receiver that Kyler has ever had.

476
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: Number six is Patrick Mahomes, which I know a lot

477
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: of people are gonna be angry about. My logic with

478
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: that is he doesn't run like the five guys I

479
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: have ahead of him, and in the regular season he

480
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: really doesn't run much at all. He saves it for

481
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs, so he could be great, but no Tyreek Hill,

482
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: no running ability. At seven, I have Joe Burrow because

483
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: he's also in the old line has gotten even better

484
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: and you can make an argument that the weapons around

485
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: him is the best in the NFL. I think, uh,

486
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: Number eight, your boy, Marcus Trey Lance, because rushing ability

487
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: we keep talking about a quarterback is so deep that

488
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: you might as well get someone that I think has

489
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: top five upside. Trey Lance brings that because of his legs.

490
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: Number nine the Goat, because he's the goat Tom Brady,

491
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: and he has a bunch of weapons around him as well.

492
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: But I did knock him a little bit because of

493
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: the offensive line issues. And at number ten, Russell Wilson

494
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: who him and Brady? I keep flipping back and forth,

495
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: But Russell Wilson, we know it's still a highly efficient

496
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: quarterback who has a great team around him. Now, the

497
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: only concern I have with Russ is is he gonna

498
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: run less than he has. That's sort of been a

499
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 1: knock on Russ, and that's I think the reason you've

500
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: seen him fall down draft boards. But I want to

501
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: circle back around to a couple of guys on this

502
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: list here. Number four Jalen Hurts. The fantasy community has

503
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: sort of gone nuts for Jalen Hurts, right and understandably

504
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: think you mentioned last year he was he was a

505
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 1: lock for twenty points a game, it felt like, and

506
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: I know you've pointed out multiple times there were games

507
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: where he'd enter the fourth quarter with like nine points

508
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: and he figured. I truly think there was one game

509
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: last year where late in the third he had less

510
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,239
Speaker 1: than one point and he's still got to twenty. Mean,

511
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: that's kind of what it is. You if I'm if

512
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, you have said you could see a

513
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,719
Speaker 1: scenario where he ends up as the QB one this year.

514
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 1: Huh Yeah, I definitely think so, because the Eagles didn't

515
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: bring any running backs or anything like that. So I

516
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: still think Jalen Hurts is there a line runner. My

517
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: concern with Josh Allen this year is he going to

518
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: run less? So if if Hurts can come anywhere close

519
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: to his rushing numbers from last year, plus the the

520
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: added passing numbers, because I think he's just gonna improve,

521
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: plus the cast around him is so improved that I

522
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: definitely think there's an easy path for him to be

523
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: the best quarterback. So then we get to the Patrick

524
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: Mahomes at number six. And I know you were aware

525
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: that you're probably gonna get a lot of hate from

526
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: Kimmy and and all of Jimmy checks from the state

527
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: of Missouri as a whole. Uh. But there he is

528
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: at number six. He's mentioned no Tyreek uh less running um.

529
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: Is he potentially a draft value? I know it seems

530
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: weird to say about Patrick Mahomes, but could he end

531
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: up maybe as a draft value at some point if

532
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: more people thought I thought like I do. I think

533
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: he could. But he still usually goes in the top three.

534
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: And I understand why he's Patrick Mahomes. But I still

535
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: believe that of non quarterbacks, Tyreek Hill is the most

536
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: influential player in football, and he just opened up so much.

537
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: I think Mahomes will be mine in the sense of

538
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: like top five is still in plate. But I think

539
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: of all the five quarterbacks I have ahead of him,

540
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: there pad to being the best quarterback and fantasy is

541
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: easier than mahomessh It's weird. Patrick Mahomes is one of

542
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: those guys who you're right. He doesn't run the same

543
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: way a Lamar It hurts and Alan runs. He runs

544
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: just enough, right, He's one of those guys who runs

545
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: just enough to keep the defense honest. It's just enough

546
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: for you to get you know, a few of those

547
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: extra kind of cheap code points in fantasy football. We

548
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: will see what losing Tyreek Kale means to this offense.

549
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: But now I'll tell you what playing in that a

550
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 1: f C West, They're gonna have to score a lot

551
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: of points every single week. That's that's nothing gonna help

552
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. This is a guy that coming into this

553
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: draft season, I was really hoping I could draft Trey

554
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: Lance the way I drafted Jalen Hurts last year, which

555
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: was I'm gonna get myself a good, solid, kind of

556
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 1: mid round quarterback. Then I'll go back and I'll get

557
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: Tray Lance later, sort of an insurance policy. I feel

558
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: like that went out the window really really quickly. Um

559
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: maybe because I pay a lot more attention to forty

560
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: Niners reports. I feel like the reports about Trey Lance

561
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: are so uneven, Like one day he looks amazing and

562
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: everything's clicking, the next day he throws three picks. Any

563
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,959
Speaker 1: of that concerned you a little bit. But part of

564
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: my process is like I don't believe what anything Kyle

565
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: Shanahan says, because he has shown us over the years

566
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: that he is just a pathological liar. My thing with

567
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: Trey Lance is Jimmy g every year if he wasn't one,

568
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: he was top three in yards passing yards that come

569
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: after the catch, meaning he would throw a very short

570
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: to Deebill Samuel or George Kittle and or the running

571
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: back and they would just run with it after and

572
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: he gets all the fantasy points for that. I think

573
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: Trey Lance will be able to do that. I don't

574
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,479
Speaker 1: think they'll ask a whole lot of him. But then

575
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: you add in the fact that he is like a

576
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts when it comes to running the football. Plus

577
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: he has an absolute cannon of an arm, so we

578
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: could see more deep throws in this offense than we

579
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: ever have before. I think the upside is top five,

580
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: and I don't I'm not gonna say he's gonna be

581
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: the best quarterback and fan to see, but there's a

582
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: non zero chance that he's the best man year. Um. Yeah,

583
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: that's it's funny too, because I was so happy to

584
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: be able to get Trey Lance at some point in

585
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: like the ninth round, the tenth round. I feel like

586
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: that's done. It's been done for a while. I feel

587
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: like I like a lot of my drafts so far

588
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: have been with other people who do this every day,

589
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: Like we do I feel like when like we do

590
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: our home league drafts or something like that, like he

591
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: might go like he he probably I wouldn't be surprised

592
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: he goes behind like Brady or Wilson or anything like that.

593
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: I want to say that, but my home league involves

594
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of forty. There's zero chance he's gonna go late.

595
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: Uh since, yeah, something like that. In fact, we've given

596
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: up the count. We've given up the count on days

597
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: since Jimmy Garoppolo through a a heartbreaking interception in the

598
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game. Um now, now my text change is

599
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: just hoping that he gets traded somewhere. They don't even

600
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: really care where. Um So, we asked for a sleeper quarterback,

601
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: and when I saw this, it absolutely warmed my heart.

602
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: I love that you you pick as your sleeper quarterback.

603
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: I love this. He is my the quarterback that I

604
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: want on most of my teams to share like because

605
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: I love where he goes. I think he brings a

606
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: lot of upside. But you get him purely as a

607
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: second quarterback because he goes after Rogers Car, after these

608
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: ten plus Rogers Car cousins, like you could get him

609
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: at like QB thirt through like sixteen, no problem. And

610
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: my thing with two it keeps being like everyone has

611
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill as a top ten wide receiver, everyone except

612
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: for me. I think most people have Jalen Waddle as

613
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: a top twenty receiver. So why are we not high

614
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: on two A tongue of bloa? Who I view it

615
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: as to get those receivers, you gotta use an early

616
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: round pick. You take on a lot of risk to

617
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: get to a He's purely a reserve guy that you're

618
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: getting in the double digit rounds and you get Tyreek

619
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: and Waddle and everyone else's production baked into his. And

620
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: I keep saying it on Twitter, but man, every day

621
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: it comes out that he's throwing a nice deep ball

622
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: to Tyreek Hill, and I'm like, this guy was a

623
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 1: good deep ball thrower. It's just a haven't act him

624
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: to do it much. And you, I know, it's quoted

625
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: all the time, like he was good at that in college.

626
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: He was. I keep saying our introduction to t a

627
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: tongue of violoa was him coming in Fort Jalen Hurts

628
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: actually at Alabama and winning a national championship by throwing

629
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: a deep ball to Davante Smith. Look at me just

630
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: throwing out all these like fantasy like hipster darling guys,

631
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: now right. I mean it's like Jalen Hurts and to

632
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: a tongue of violoa, which I guess shout out to

633
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: Nick Saban for making our fantasy lives better. Um. But

634
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: that's how we were introduced to two. It was him

635
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: throwing a deep ball. Um. You know, his first year

636
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: was coming off of a major hip injury. It's it's

637
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: it's them building around him. They have given him pieces.

638
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: So I with you on this. I feel like Toa

639
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: is ready for for good things this year. I think

640
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: you can draft him as sort of a nice streaming

641
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: option of fringe QB one um and if he really

642
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: does hit the way we think he can hit um.

643
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: By the way, this also fits in, though, with your

644
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill narrative to about him being one of the

645
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: most important non quarterback pieces. If he is going to

646
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: if you believe he's going to take away from Patrick

647
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: Mahomes and by transference, he should add something to I.

648
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: I saw it firsthand. Sorry, Parker, you want to cover

649
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: your ears here. Tyreek literally took like a ten yards

650
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: slant route and took at the distance and no one

651
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: on the defense could catch up to him. That's what

652
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: he can do for twa plus he can open up

653
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: stuff near so like if you're worried about twenty thirty

654
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: yards down field, well then all right, Chase Edmonds is

655
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: wide open right here for a little catch and run.

656
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: Or maybe two starts running again like he did in college.

657
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: Maybe he starts running again. Who knows, that would be great.

658
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: Uh So, if we're looking at sleepers, we gotta look

659
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: at for a quarterback to avoid. Um. I would say

660
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: this is spicy, but I feel like a lot of

661
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: folks in fantasy sort of have this take Aaron Rodgers,

662
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: a guy that maybe to stay away from. Right now,

663
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: it's pretty wild that Aaron where I have Aaron Rodgers

664
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: ranked is higher than his number, which I don't know

665
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: if that's been the case in fantasy in a very

666
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: long time. I believe he's my QB thirt team. This

667
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: guy is awesome and we all know that. But he

668
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: doesn't run at all. Uh And the last couple of

669
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: years he's relied on like uber efficiency, like his touchdown

670
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: percentage the last two years mirrors his career best, like

671
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: two years ago was his career best, and then this

672
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: year was tied for his third best. So I think,

673
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: with Davante Adams gone in a a receiving room of

674
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of who's who have, is this guy even good?

675
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: Like I think his efficiency is gonna come down. I

676
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see Green Bay run the ball a

677
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: lot more than they have in recent years. So I

678
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: just don't think he's gonna have the volume to come

679
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: anywhere close to what he's done the last two I think.

680
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: I think that's sort of it. I also wonder about,

681
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, his like the average depth of target, the

682
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: area yards this year, when he's saying things like Aaron

683
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: Jones and a J. Dillon are gonna catch a lot

684
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: of passes. That's great for those individual players, that's great

685
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers. Probably from a completion percentage standpoint, those

686
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: don't necessarily make me think there's a lot of downfield

687
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: throws coming. Maybe they use a guy like Romeo Dobbs

688
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: to stretch the field, maybe they use Adam Lazard to

689
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: stretch the field. But this feels like it would be

690
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: a lot of really efficient throws coming from Rogers. Uh,

691
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: and you really are leaning on him to get you

692
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: close to five thousand passing yards. You're gonna need that

693
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: that really ridiculous touchdown, the interception ratio, you know those

694
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: those forty five type ratios. Um. I mean, if there's

695
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: anybody who can do it, Aaron Rodgers is the guy

696
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: that can do it. That seems like a tough way

697
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: to live on, and I mean kudos to him. He

698
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: found himself this offseason. He seems to be in a

699
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: much better place. It just won't be on my fantasy

700
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: oh man. You know, trapsing through the jungles of South

701
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,719
Speaker 1: America or whatever it was that he was doing too

702
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: to go on his spirit quest. We'll see what that

703
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: means for fair Aaron Rodgers when it comes to fantasy.

704
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: We will stop for a moment and we will catch

705
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: our breaths. We'll get back into our look at the

706
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: NFC South with the Atlanta Falcons coming up next. So

707
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: stay tuned for more of the NFL Fantasy Football Show.

708
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: The Atlanta Falcons are next up in our deep dive

709
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: into the NFC South. The Falcons last year seven and

710
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: ten passing leader was Matt Ryan sixty eight yards, twenty touchdowns,

711
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: twelve interceptions. He was the QB twenty. Now he collects

712
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: his mail in Indianapolis. The rushing leader Cordarol Patterson one

713
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,719
Speaker 1: of the big surprises of the fantasy season six eighteen

714
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: yards on the ground, six rushing touchdowns RB nine because

715
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: he also caught the football quite a bit for the Falcons.

716
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,959
Speaker 1: You're receiving leader Kyle Pitts sixty eight catches, one thousand,

717
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: twenty six yards, just the one receiving touchdown. But still

718
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: I think was an excellent rookie season for him. He

719
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: finishes as the tight ends six. We know, Cordello or

720
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: that Kyle Pitts is going to be excellent this year.

721
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: We're drafting him as such. I know you have built

722
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: your whole model around Kyle Pitts in the third round,

723
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: no matter what, channeling your inner Sunny Weaver Jr. For

724
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: that um. But Cordarol Patterson last year, as I mentioned,

725
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: he was a top ten running back. And yes, I

726
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: know he faded down the stretch we've seen as a

727
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: DP really plummet this year. Like no one's talking about

728
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: cp uh. He's being drafted as sort of well, depending

729
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: on where you look. I've seen him some places as

730
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: a running back. I've seen him some play the wide receiver.

731
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: Either way, he is well down the list of guys

732
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: to be drafted in a situation where I don't know

733
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: if there's a ton of competition. I mean, I know

734
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: Tyler Algiers there, but he's still the lead guy. What

735
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: is your expectation for Cordarol Patterson this year. I think

736
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: he'll be the best running back here for fantasy purposes,

737
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: but I haven't really been targeting him because of two things. One,

738
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: I just think last year was an outlier season for him,

739
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be tough to to reproduce that, especially

740
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: since we saw him fading down the stretch when they

741
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: try to use him more as a traditional running back.

742
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: I think the best role for him is that Swiss

743
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: army knife like he was in in the first half

744
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: of the season. But also, Matt Ryan was a quarterback

745
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: who every year it's him or Tom Brady throws the

746
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: most passes to a running back. I don't think Marcus

747
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: Mariotte is going to be that style of quarterbacks. So

748
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: while I think Patterson is a is a good value,

749
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: I just I find myself liking other guys who go

750
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: in that area morning. I think that's that's where I've

751
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: fallen on it because I don't. I don't think I've

752
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: drafted Cordarol Patterson at all this draft season because when

753
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: it's to the spot on the board where i'd be

754
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: comfortable taking him, there are always other players that that

755
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: I like more this year. Um, I will say, I

756
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 1: know he is. He's been the king of finessing his

757
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: preseason right where like he he plays, but he doesn't

758
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: play like He'll play a snap, usually line up at

759
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver, runner route and then you'll call it a day, which, honestly,

760
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: if you're gonna play in the preseason, that seems to

761
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: be the way to go about it. Um yeah, I

762
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: just I don't. I don't love what his potential is

763
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: going to be this year. And I've always said about

764
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson, Duke Johnson is a good running back on

765
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: a team with better running backs. He's always been a

766
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: good receiver on a team with better receivers. Cordarrell Patterson

767
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: is has proven to be a decent running back on

768
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: a team that doesn't really have any Uh He's an

769
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: okay receiver on a team that has better receivers. So

770
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: I don't know what his true role is going to be.

771
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,919
Speaker 1: You know, if they love him as a Swiss Army knife,

772
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: that's great for them. I don't know that it's great

773
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: for us. I think he's a depth ad at at

774
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: running back. But I think what we saw last year,

775
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, kind of a lightning in a bottle season.

776
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: And I don't know that that he repeats that, Um,

777
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: it'll be it'll be tough. I mean his character arc

778
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 1: was a guy who's a great kick returner who somehow

779
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: late in life kind of fell into a role. They

780
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 1: used him out of necessity. I mean, Mike Davis wasn't

781
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: wasn't producing, got got banged up. They put Cordilla Patterson

782
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: in and it took off. I don't know that they

783
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: can do that again. For weeks we were like, what,

784
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: this isn't gonna last. Eventually we were like, all right,

785
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: this is just the thing. Now. Let's let's just let's

786
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 1: just ride the wave until until we can't write it anymore.

787
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 1: So I wrote this question to this next question. Uh,

788
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: And like I said, you and I were in a

789
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: draft last night, and I feel like the way you

790
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: drafted sort of answered the question for me. Uh. The

791
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 1: question is, will Marcus Mariota be the starter all season.

792
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: But then I noticed that last night you drafted Mariota

793
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: and in a few rounds later you sort of hedged

794
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: your bett by drafting Desmond Ritter. So I think I

795
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: know the answer to your question. The answer will he

796
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 1: be the starter all year? I don't think so, but

797
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: I think for however long he is the starter, he

798
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: will be a value in fantasy because he can run. Uh.

799
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: He he hasn't looked awful as a pastor this preseason either.

800
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: All granted that fifty yard Kyle Pitts catch should have

801
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: been an ad R touchdown if Mariota was more on

802
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: the money with it, but then Desmond Ritter has looked

803
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,760
Speaker 1: really good as the backup. And I think the Falcons

804
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: are a team that is going to be in contention

805
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: to be get the first overall pick this year. So

806
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna want to know what they have

807
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: in Desmond Ridder or maybe showcase him if you could

808
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: try to trade him something like that. But he's played

809
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: well in preseason, and I think, like in the super

810
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: flex like we were in last night, I had a

811
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: week my quarterback to is Daniel Jones. I was like,

812
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: I need a backup. I'll hedge with Mariota and Ritter

813
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: because I think both of them will be better fantasy

814
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: assets than then they get credit for because to throw

815
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: a lot they're trailing and they can both run. I

816
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: think that that part about them throwing a lot is

817
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: sort of key, because I would imagine the passing volume

818
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: is going to be high in part because they will

819
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: be trailing, in part because if they don't really have

820
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: a true workhorse running back, right, I mean, they don't

821
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: have a you know, they don't have a Nick Chubb

822
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: to turn around and hand the ball off to five

823
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 1: times and just let him grind down defenses. H Corgio Patterson,

824
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: Tyler Algear. Neither one of them are that kind of guy.

825
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: So I think that means you're gonna see Mariota or

826
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,919
Speaker 1: rit or whomever it is, throw the football a lot.

827
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,720
Speaker 1: So maybe there is something sneaky about Mariota's overall fantasy value,

828
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: but it will be interesting to see whether or not

829
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: he keeps this gig all year long. Um. Sort of

830
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: along those lines, I mean, I drafted Kenny Pickett as

831
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: my third quarterback in that league smart, and I think

832
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: he could start Week one, right, I mean like I

833
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: feel like at some point Kenny Pickett's going to be

834
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: the starter. Maybe it is week one, but I was

835
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: sort of, you know, just kind of doubling down on

836
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: the idea that that Mitch Drabinsky is not gonna hold

837
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: that job all year long, and with Mariota it would

838
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: not be the first time that Arthur Smith has benched.

839
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: That is true. You know, he keep coming back to

840
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: that he was in an Arthur Smith system and he

841
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: lost his gig before. Maybe lightning strikes twice. Who knows?

842
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: All right, So in Atlanta, who is the first player drafted,

843
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: who is the sleeper? And who is the player to avoid?

844
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: First player drafted his Kyle Pits third round. No matter what,

845
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: we already know that the sleeper. We already spoke about

846
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. And I don't know if Drake London qualifies

847
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: as a sleeper. Who is someone I know both of

848
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: us like. So you've mentioned Tyler Algere. I'll go with him. Uh.

849
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: He went for being the eighth string running back in

850
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: the first week of the preseason. But last or Monday night,

851
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: he was in with the with the ones, and what

852
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: I liked most is they used him near the goal

853
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: on like in ten inside the ten yard line. He

854
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: was the running back they were bringing in, So I

855
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: think he's a sleeper player to avoid. It's hard on

856
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: this team because, like, is there really anyone that's going

857
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: high after London and Pitts? And I'm in on both

858
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: of them, So I mean, I guess it would be

859
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: Cardarya Patterson. Yeah, I you know, I've got Kyle Pits

860
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: obviously is the first guy off the board. That's an

861
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: easy call there. I'm gonna stick with Drake London as

862
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: a sleeper mostly because I just want to. I want

863
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: to talk him up and maybe I should. Maybe I

864
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,439
Speaker 1: should let him let his a v P lie where

865
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: it is, Like you keep trying to draft him in

866
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 1: different spots. I just I don't understand why there hasn't

867
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,439
Speaker 1: been more excitement about him in an offense that's going

868
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: to throw the ball a lot that doesn't have a

869
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: ton of pass catchers. I mean, Kyle Pitts is gonna

870
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: be great. He's gonna get a hundred and twenty and

871
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: thirty targets. They can't all go his direction. They gotta

872
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: go somewhere else, and I think Drake London is going

873
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: to be the recipient of that. So, um, maybe he's

874
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: not a sleeper in the way we think of it.

875
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 1: But draft Drake London. People, I'm telling you, draft Drake London.

876
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: Thank me later. I'm not just being a USC homer,

877
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: I promise you, um players who avoid it's I don't know,

878
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: it could be anybody man like It's like you said,

879
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: it's look, you're drafting Pits, You're drafting London. You're people

880
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: are drafting Patterson. Maybe you're taking a dart throw at Mariota.

881
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: Beyond that, there's no falcons there that that you want.

882
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know a Lama day Zakiyas. Yeah,

883
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: I you know what. I let go of the rope

884
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,720
Speaker 1: with Brian Edwards. I really tried with him that rookie

885
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: season in in Vegas with the Raiders, and it never happened.

886
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: I've I washed my hands and bards at this point.

887
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: Too bad. All right? We round out our look at

888
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: the NFC South with the Carolina Panthers five and twelve

889
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: in one. Their passing leader was Sam Donald just over

890
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred passing yards, nine touchdowns, thirteen interceptions. He

891
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: was the QB eight. You're leading rusher Cuba Hubbard, because

892
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: of course, Christian McCaffrey was banged up for much of

893
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: last year. But Hubbard six hundred and twelve yards on

894
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: the ground with the RB thirty six and d J

895
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: Moore you're receiving leader catches eleven fifty seven yards, four

896
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns, a wide receiver eighteen. So the quarterback competition

897
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: is closed in Carolina Matt rule, making the announcement earlier

898
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: in the week that Baker Mayfield is going to be

899
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: the starter not a huge surprise. I know we talked

900
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 1: about this a little bit earlier in the week. I'm

901
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: no one's drafting Baker Mayfield to be their QB one.

902
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if a lot of people are drafting

903
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield to be their QB two. But maybe for you,

904
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: what has to happen for you to consider taking Baker

905
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: Mayfield off the draft board. It probably has to be

906
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: a super flex league to get him as like your

907
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 1: third quarterback or something like that. Or maybe I just

908
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: completely missed the QB two run and I'm like, oh

909
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: my god, everyone's been drafted. I need Baker Mayfield. But

910
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: even more than that, markets you just reminded me of

911
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: what Sam Donald's numbers were last year. And I'm like,

912
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: why was this even a competition? Like, Baker Mayfield with

913
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: one good shoulder was better than Sam Donald was last year. Like,

914
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: but Baker Mayfield I think has some upside, but I

915
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 1: think he's one of those guys markets were much better

916
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: in real life for the Carolina Panthers than for your

917
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 1: fantasy team. He's He's definitely a step up over Sam Donald. Um.

918
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,720
Speaker 1: You know, I went into last year saying, look, Donald

919
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: has an opportunity. If it doesn't work out for the

920
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 1: for him there, then then it's sort of on him,

921
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: and I think at this point it kind of is

922
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: on Sam Donald. Um. We know who Baker Mayfield is,

923
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: we've seen him at this point, but but he does

924
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to sort of, I think, solidify the

925
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: guys around here. I don't know that I feel differently

926
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: about a d J. Moore or say a Robby Anderson

927
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: or even a Christian McCaffrey, but I feel a little

928
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 1: bit more confident in what their floors are with Baker

929
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: Mayfield than I would have with Sam Donald. So I

930
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: guess if there's any benefit, that's what it is. But

931
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: I have zero intention of drafting Baker Mayfield really anywhere. Um,

932
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 1: I will say, though I don't. I know you've see

933
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 1: the tweet the Wheel of Baker Mayfield, which is like

934
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: the you know, play poor Oh, It's like it's it's

935
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, uh, play play well, followed by like playing poorly,

936
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: followed by getting criticized, followed by talking trash on an opponent,

937
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: followed by beating a mediocre to inferior opponent, and the

938
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: wheels sort of goes around. I feel like Baker Mayfield

939
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: should hire they live in Carolina, he should hire like

940
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's because Michael Jordan used to just make up

941
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: narratives to inspire himself, and I feel like Baker needs

942
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: that to play well. I mean, you know, just just

943
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 1: just memes of Baker Mayfield like and then I took

944
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 1: that personally. If my favorite thing about the Jordan doctants

945
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: there was a whole story and at the end Jordans

946
00:42:58,040 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: like that never never happened. I stold him made up.

947
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: I totally made it up. Which if I'm the other

948
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: guy on the end of that, I'm like, what you

949
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me. He took Charles Barkley up for

950
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: dinner one night, and Charles was like we're friends, and

951
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: m J was like, no, I just didn't want him

952
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: to go hard against So yeah, So maybe you're right.

953
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: Maybe Baker could take a page out of MJ's book

954
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: and use that to motivate him. Coming up this season,

955
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey has kind of very quietly slid back into

956
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: being the number one pick, and a lot of leagues

957
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: it's it's between him and Jonathan Taylor uh in a

958
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: lot of leagues for who should be the number one

959
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: overall pick. Obviously there is reason to be concerned. He's

960
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: played ten games total in the last two seasons. I

961
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: think if you're drafting McCaffrey number one, it makes sense

962
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: to go out and get somebody behind him. Now, if

963
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: you look at the Panthers depth chart, the players listed

964
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: as the RB two, it's Deante Foreman, It's Chuba Hubbard. Hubbard,

965
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, was the rushing leader last year. If

966
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: you're looking to handcuff McCaffrey, who's the guy you're going after?

967
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 1: I would go with Deontay Foreman, just because I think

968
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: that if something happens to McCaffrey, I think we're gonna

969
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: get a split and Foreman, to me, looks like the

970
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: one that's gonna get the goal on work, And I

971
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: mean he last year on the Titans. When he was

972
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: out there, it was like, is that Derrick Henry? Oh no, no,

973
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: this is slightly smaller Derrick Henry. Um. But I hope

974
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: that none of this matters because just watching Christian McCaffrey

975
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: in training camp, I'm getting hyped because the guy is

976
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: that good. We just haven't seen him. The one caveat

977
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: on Christian McCaffrey that I don't think people are bringing

978
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: up Marcus is what if to keep him healthy they

979
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: use the Giants Deontay Foreman near the goal on instead

980
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: of a Christian McCaffrey. I think that is something to

981
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: be concerned about. But I would say the counter to

982
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: that is Matt Rules trying to keep his job. That

983
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: is true. Christian McCaffrey is hands down the best player,

984
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 1: certainly the best offensive player, probably the best player they

985
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: have on that team, which means um for Matt Rule,

986
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: if he has any ounce of self preservation in him,

987
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: they're going to use McCaffrey very heavily the way they

988
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 1: have before. So UM, I think if it were anybody else,

989
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: if it were if the Panthers were a team that

990
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 1: were you know, they felt like they had a shot

991
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: at the playoffs, and they just wanted to keep McCaffrey

992
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 1: healthy until January. I could see that happening. Matt Rule

993
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: wants to make sure he's still employed this time next year.

994
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 1: Have you noticed that, like the Panthers have become like

995
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: on Fantasy Twitter at least like a trendy these they

996
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: could make the playoffs this year? Oh no, I've missed this.

997
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 1: I don't see it, but I've seen a couple of people,

998
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: more than a couple of picking them. I mean, I

999
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: guess when you look at the rest of the division,

1000
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: I guess. I mean, the Bucks still are our hands

1001
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: down the best team in the NFC South, but the

1002
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: Saints have questions. The Falcons are still building. I mean,

1003
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: I guess in that respect, but I'm not I'm not

1004
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: buying it yet, So we'll see, all right. So let's

1005
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: wrap this up. The first Panther drafted, I'm pretty sure

1006
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: I know who that's going to be. A sleeper Panther

1007
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: and a Panther to avoid. First player drafted, Baker Mayfield. No,

1008
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 1: it's clearly Christian McCaffrey, who, like you, said is a

1009
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: top two pick with with Jonathan Taylor sleeper. I think

1010
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: that's like Terris Marshall Jr. Maybe because this is a

1011
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: team that is to vote after, it's like McCaffrey, d J. Moore,

1012
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,280
Speaker 1: and then it could be either Marshall or Robbie Anderson.

1013
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: I'll go with the younger Marshall and and just Hope

1014
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: because I was very excited about him coming out of

1015
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: college player to avoid Man, it's all of them, and

1016
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: you want Christian McCaffrey and d J. Moore and that's

1017
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: about it for me in fantasy. After that, there's not

1018
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: really many Panthers. I'm like, I need this guy on

1019
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: my teams. Yeah, I mean McCaffrey obviously the the first pick.

1020
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: I mean he very well could be the first overall

1021
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: pick in your league depending on how things go. Um,

1022
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: I will lean towards Robbie Anderson now that he in

1023
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 1: surper or like Buds, maybe that helps him a little bit.

1024
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,439
Speaker 1: And he's changed his name. He's Robbie with an ie

1025
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 1: as opposed to Robbie with a Y, So maybe that

1026
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 1: that changes things a little bit. I don't know. Um,

1027
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: it's a lot, there's there's just not a lot in

1028
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: Carolina to get excited about. So, I mean, I think

1029
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: that the player to avoid could be really anybody, anybody

1030
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: that's not anybody, anybody that's not mccaffreys. McCaffrey thought they

1031
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: gotta laugh from here from the specialist. Uh, it's not McCaffrey. Uh,

1032
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 1: you know, if it's not DJ Moore, Uh, it's it's

1033
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: sort of easy to avoid. Panthers. By the way, the

1034
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: Panthers do have a Michael Jordans on their roster. He's

1035
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: a backup offensive lineman. This guy needs to just make

1036
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: up narratives to hype up Baker Mayfield. Absolutely, I mean,

1037
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: he can just say, you know, hey, Michael Jordan's. I

1038
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,439
Speaker 1: was talking to Michael Jordan's yesterday and he told me that,

1039
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, the Browns were talking trash about me. How

1040
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: many yards and touchdowns? Because there's no narrative needed for

1041
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: Week one? How many yards and touchdowns in that game

1042
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 1: alone against the Browns? Do you think Baker throws for? Um, Honestly,

1043
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get hyped up, but I think

1044
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a typical Baker game where it's like

1045
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: it's like two fifty, like you know, two touchdowns in

1046
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: a pick or something like that. It's gonna be kind

1047
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: of I'm hoping he goes for like four hundred and four.

1048
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: But I agree with you, it's like you know at

1049
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: some point, like you know, just like then you are

1050
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: who he was when you got here, Like that's who

1051
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: it is. That's that's whore Baker Mayfield is there it is.

1052
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 1: That is our look at the NFC South. Of course,

1053
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 1: we will keep this rolling into next week. We will

1054
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: take a look at the NFC North. We'll also have

1055
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: some more of my call of Florio's player rankings. Will

1056
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,879
Speaker 1: dive into a couple of positions of that next week

1057
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 1: as well. In the meantime, that'll do it for this

1058
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Stay happy, safe

1059
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 1: and healthy, do good and live well. Take care of yourselves,

1060

Speaker 1: take care of the people around you. Enjoy the weekend.

1061
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,560

1062
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 1: next week. I don't
