But I got my man Kurts Bavona, 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.880 the bounty Hunter with me on the ones and tunes. 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.680 Sweat got a great show for you. Okay. The preseason 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.520 ended yesterday, you know, so I'm gonna give you some 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.440 of my biggest takeaways from the entire preseason. We have 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.360 been talking about tight ends for the last couple of days, 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.399 so I've got my tight end fo gazes. Okay, a 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.680 couple of guys in the top five of tight ends 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:42.800 that I think you need to avoid. I told you 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.880 some diamonds in the rough at that position earlier in 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.919 the week. Guys that I like like Austin Hooper, Guys 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:52.080 that I like like Hunter Henry. Guys even deeper that 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.400 I like like Austin Seferian Jenkins and George Kittle. Well, 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:58.040 I'm giving you the inverse right now tonight. It is 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:01.640 about who you need to avoid at the tight end position. 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.400 I'm also gonna give you a couple of defenses, okay, 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.680 because listen, I don't think you need to draft defense 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.960 until your second to last or the last pick overall. 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.640 And I'm gonna give you some defenses that are outside 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.400 of the top ten as far as rankings go, that 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.840 I think could be valuable streaming options and interesting defenses 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:24.080 to hold for real. Chunks of the season, so I 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.840 think that is very important. What I'm also going to 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:30.560 do as we put the fun in functional sports Radio, 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:34.200 I am gonna recap a couple of shows that have 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:36.799 been going on.

We've been talking about 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.680 tight ends over the last couple of days. I'm gonna 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.240 give you my tight end gazzes. The guys you need 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.840 to forget about. We're gonna give you some news and notes. Listen. 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.240 It's around cut down day here in the NFL. There's 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.840 some trades that have happened. There's some surprise cuts. We're 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.599 gonna get into all of those and the fantasy impacts. 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:09.680 But the phone lines are also open right now at 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:13.279 eight four four eight four three eight seven nine. And 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.880 it sounds like we got a couple of callers a Bovona. 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.560 The first one is Joe in Long Island. He's got 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.720 a question about Mr Murray. Let's bring him onto the 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:26.360 Fantasy Freestyle. What's going on? Man? And what's going on? 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:31.240 I got, I got offered. I got Keevin Coleman and 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.880 Mike Thomas. But the Marco Murray and Eric Decker I 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:41.080 had Murray and Decker. Listen. Michael Thomas is far superior 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:45.680 to Eric Decker. Okay, so that is very interesting. And 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:49.559 you said it was Tevin Coleman was the other back Keevin, 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:51.320 I've been getting Tevin Coleman. I'd be given up to 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:56.080 Marco Murray. Yeah, listen, I gotta tell you I think 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.039 the gap of Michael Thomas down to Eric Decker is 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:03.280 bigger then the gap of Debarco Murray to Tevin Coleman. 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.400 So to me, it sounds like the Tevin Coleman and 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.800 Michael Thomas side of that deal wins out. I don't 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.640 know if you also heard there is news today that 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:16.160 Ted Ginn Jr. Another wide excuse me that um Willie 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.640 sneed another wide receiver on the Saints, is gonna be 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.200 suspended for the first three games. That could even be 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.919 more for Michael Thomas. I don't know, and thank you 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:25.960 for the call, man. I don't know. You know if 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:29.960 you trade away DeMarco Murray as what presumably was your 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.640 RB one, where that leaves you in the running back 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.560 I don't know the rest of your roster, and we 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:36.880 don't have time to get into every single player, but 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.800 I will tell you I believe the gap between DeMarco 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.640 Murray and Tevin Coleman is not as big as the 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.320 gap between Michael Thomas and Eric Decker. So I like 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:51.040 the Michael Thomas and Tevin Coleman side of that deal. 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:54.359 We got another caller. It looks like we got uh 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.120 who is this cliff In Boston talking about the tight ends. 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.400 We've been talking about the tight ends in terms of 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.600 diamonds a couple of days earlier. This week, we're gonna 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.359 get into food gay is a little bit as well. 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:09.039 Let's get this tight end question from Cliff in Boston. Hey, Cliff, 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.600 you're dropping stats over beats with the spitting statistician. You're 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:15.360 on the fantasy freestyle. What's up? What's going on? Man? Hey, 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.600 I got a big question for you. Originally I was 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.920 gonna ask about, you know, the tight end position. But 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.559 what I really wanted to ask you, I'm thinking six 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.480 right now. In one of my drafts coming up on Tuesday. 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.120 Who would you say is an ideal pick at that 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:33.240 sixth spot? Okay? Sure, at the sixth spot. Okay, here's 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:37.520 the thing in my mind. And and and to be honest, Uh, Clifford, 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:42.160 the PPR or not of this league matters, Okay, because 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.120 here's my thing. It's six. You're not gonna get one 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.440 of the complete true elite studs at running back. You're 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.360 not gonna get David Johnson. You're not gonna get Levan Bell. 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.800 After that, though, there are a couple of locked and 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.640 loaded elite wide receivers that I think you can take 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:03.520 right Antonio Brown on, Julio Jones, Odell Beckham or Mike Evans. 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.520 Those are my top four kind of wide receivers. You've 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.200 got Levy on Bell and David Johnson. When you're sitting 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.440 at six. To me, whichever one of those six is 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.440 still available, that's where I'm going. And let me tell you, 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.560 I didn't know the format of your league. If it 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:21.320 is a PPR league, I am that much more happy 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.360 to get my wide receiver right away because I can 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:28.600 find some pass catching backs later on, some third down backs, 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.840 some pass catching backs that in a PPR format I'd 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.520 be very happy about. Okay, if it's standard, it's a 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.840 little bit different, but I think you're gonna wind up 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.360 with one of these elite wide receivers. I think it's 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:43.200 gonna be wind up being like Odell Beckham or Mike Evans. 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.000 So thank you for the call. Again. That was Cliff 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:50.440 in Boston. Hey, it sounds uh we got another call. 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.360 It sounds like we got Blake in Dallas. He wants 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:57.280 to know about the Saints backfield and specifically mark ingram 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:01.000 Uh Blake in Dallas. Your dry up and stats over beach, 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.920 which your boys speeds and spitting statistician on the Fantasy Freestyle. 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:08.880 What's going on, Blake? Okay, so um, I'm wondering who 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.760 started flex week one, and I've got a Kiss Rogers 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:18.520 marked Ingram, Joe Mixon, and Jonathan Stewart. Okay, here's the thing. 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:22.000 If you have Jack Quiz Rogers on your roster, right, 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.040 you have him pretty much for the first three weeks 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.040 when you think Doug Martin is going to be suspended, right, 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.880 so in the first three weeks, my man pop Quiz 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:34.160 Jocquiz Rogers. He is going to be the lead dog 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.960 for Tampa. If you went and got him, it's because 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:38.960 you wanted to play him for the first three weeks 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.760 of the season. I know they're playing Miami. They've got 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:43.600 in Dominican Sioux in the middle of that line, but 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.480 they like Jock Quiz Rogers. I think some of the 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.199 other guys you mentioned, guys like Jonathan Stewart. I want 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.760 to wait and see how the Panthers are gonna play this. 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.560 Are they gonna give Christian McCaffrey a lot of looks 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.320 or not? You mentioned Joe Mixon. You know that's a 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:02.480 crowded backfield as well, with guys like you know, Jeremy 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.720 Hill and Gio Bernard. Because Doug Martin is serving that suspension, 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:09.320 I think Pop Quiz Jocquins Rodgers in that Battle of 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:13.520 Florida against the Miami Dolphins could be an interesting start, 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.040 especially in weeks one through three when Doug Martin is 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.640 on the sidelines. All right, Chris, it looks like those 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.000 are all the callers for now, So let me keep 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.600 it moving here on the cipher in the fantasy freestyle 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.360 and give him some news and notes. Because listen, this 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.600 is cut down day. There's been some trades. Let's get 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:33.280 into it. First of all, Bengals wide receiver John Ross, 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.960 he of the four point two to forty time at 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.920 the combine, He's gonna be out a couple of weeks 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:41.800 with a knee injury. Okay, I think this means even 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:46.040 more opportunity, even more focused for a J. Green in 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.160 that offense. When we start talking DFS next week, I 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.360 like a J. Green in my DFS line up even 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.360 more share for him. With John Ross out, levy On 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.959 Bell has reported to Pittsburgh Steelers camp. He's got a 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:01.440 one year, twelve million dollar deal as predicted, he said 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.120 he was gonna come in right when he did on 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:06.720 September first. He is my number one overall pick in 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.480 all of fantasy football this year. I think he is 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:13.360 a true stud. I would even pick him over David Johnson. Okay, 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.480 you may have heard earlier in the week that Matt 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.440 Forte is on the trade block for the New York Jets. 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.680 He's going ahead and saying that the rumors of his 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:24.400 trade are quote unquote fake news. He says that he's 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.800 spoken to the g M Mike mccagnet that they are 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:28.679 not going to trade him. I'm gonna tell you the truth. 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.400 It's probably because they can't find a trade partner for 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.880 for him, because he's got a four million dollar contract. 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.280 I wouldn't be surprised if he winds up being a 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.559 cut casualty at the very end, as rosslers go from 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:41.960 nine d all the way down to fifty three. Is 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.520 this weekend to clear a room and to continue the 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.560 tanking process for the New York Jets, they have traded 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:53.520 Pro Bowl defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson to the Seattle Seahawks, 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:58.000 making the Seattle defense even that much more scary. With 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.640 the truth, stud Indians here yere. Now they're getting Mr 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.920 Curse back. Remember the Jets need some hope help at 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.440 wide out. They're also getting a second round pick to 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.240 help with their tanking efforts. The forty Niners, in a 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.760 surprise cut and cut down day, they cut quarterback Matt Barkley. Okay, 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:15.880 they're gonna be going with the rookie C. J. Bethard 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.400 instead as the backup to Brian Hoyer. Listen, I think 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.800 Matt Barkley is viable. He might pick on latch On 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.880 somewhere soon. Remember, in Indianapolis, we don't know how long 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.200 they're gonna be going with Scott Tolzine. In Baltimore, they 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.600 don't know about Joe Flacco's back. And in Jacksonville, remember 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:34.680 there is still boordal Service, who is listed at the 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.839 top of the depth chart. You may have heard me 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:41.760 say it earlier in the show. Saints wide receiver Willie Snead, 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:45.400 who is currently wide receiver thirty two a legitimate wide 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:49.280 three on the Saints with Drew Brees. He's gonna be 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.679 suspended for the first three games of the season because 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:54.600 of a d u I that he got in the 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:59.199 off season. I think this makes Ted Finn Jr. Really, 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.839 Ted Ginje your viable. Maybe in DFS in Week one, 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:06.520 remember a Monday Night they go up with Adrian Peterson 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.400 to take on his former team, the Minnesota Vikings. That 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.559 is the first game of a double header on Monday 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:17.400 Night football. Martavis Bryant has been reinstated by the NFL. Listen, 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:21.160 it's gonna be big Ben lev Bell, Martavis Bryant and 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:26.000 Antonio Brown. That combination has only been together for eleven 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:29.320 times in their careers. I think if they all play 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:33.600 sixteen games this year, watch out for the Pittsburgh Steelers. 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.160 They might have the best offense in all of football. 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:40.319 And there are reports I told you this. I told 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.600 you guys. There are reports that the Cleveland Browns have 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:48.040 cut brock Osweiler. He once was the seventy two million 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.400 dollar noos around the Houston Texans. They made that in 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.040 like a salary dump kind of trade in the off season, 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:57.720 and they have in fact cut brock Osweiler. Listen, there's 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:01.000 still like between Matt Barkley now brock Osweiler. They're still 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:04.760 Colin Kaepernick out there. Teams like the Colts, like the Jaguars, 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.880 like the Ravens. They may be in the market for 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:11.120 another quarterback. You know. In the preseason, it was also 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:12.960 interesting to see some of these rookie quarterbacks. You know, 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:16.280 Deshaun Kaiser is gonna start for Cleveland. You know about 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.640 Trebinsky and Watson who flashed early on. But keep an 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:23.680 eye on these two. Patty Mahomes in Kansas City, I 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:25.440 don't know if he's gonna be the backup all year. 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:27.720 You know, Alex Smith, we know what he can do. 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.400 Remember how he got, you know, surpassed by Colin Kaepernick 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.760 back a few few years ago. I wouldn't be surprised 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.720 if the Kansas City Chiefs do the same thing with 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:38.040 Patty Mahomes. He is a great dynasty stach. Same could 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.680 be said for Nate Peterman in Buffalo. Okay, they don't 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.520 like Tyrod Taylor. Tyrod Taylor is still in the concussion protocol. 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.960 Keep an eye on Peterman in Buffalo. But I gotta 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.600 tell you one team that I thought one the preseason. 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.440 I was high on them when I did my previews. 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:58.480 The Philadelphia Eagles looked really good in preseason. Lane Johnson 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:02.359 back on that offensive line, Carson Wentz three touchdowns, no interceptions, 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:06.480 alson Jeffrey healthy, that defense, getting Ronald Darby, the first 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:10.160 draft pick, Derek Barnett looking good. I like the Philadelphia Eagles. 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.560 They were my diamond in the rough call and nothing 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.840 this preseason changes my mind. When we come back here 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.480 on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go into tight end for Gaze. 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.800 He's the tight end you need to forget about.

It is the 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.600 holiday weekend, the end of summer. A lot of people 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.360 are getting hot and bothered, and you can by calling 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.280 eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:45.880 We gotta pull question up right now on Twitter. We 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.520 want to ask you who do you think is your 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:50.600 tight end? The fool getting easy, the tight end that 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:54.000 you need to forget about. We got hundreds of votes already. 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.720 The options I put out there for you are Greg Olsen, 0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:00.160 who's going at tight end three, Jordan Reed who's going 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:05.240 as tight end four, and we've also got Delaney Walker 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:07.440 who's going at tight end nine. We also got a 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:11.320 couple of people that have commented about some other examples 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:14.240 of some other nominations. We also got a caller on 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:17.159 the line right now. It says like we've got John 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.920 he wants to talk about some Detroit Lions and Jim 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:25.080 Bob Cooder. I think Stafford is you know, it's it's interesting. 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:26.720 A lot of people used to ask like is they 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.560 is he an elite quarterback or not? Right? And I 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:31.919 think that's a false premise. No, he's not one of 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.960 the top five quarterbacks in the NFL. But is he 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:38.520 worth getting paid. I think he is. I think any 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.760 of the top fifteen or top half quarterbacks in the 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.080 NFL are worth it because what is the alternative. This 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:48.720 guy is entering his age twenty nine season. They're putting 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.280 weapons around him. And for the year and a half 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:54.200 that hey, he has been healthy and with my man 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:58.679 Jim Bob Cooder as his offensive coordinator, he has shown 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.359 that he has been very strong. He was an m 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:03.879 VP candidate for the first few weeks of the season 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:06.480 last year before the thumb injuries. So I think that 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:09.560 Matthew Stafford is on the way up. As though his 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.360 name was French Montana. I like Stafford, and I think 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:15.119 he deserves the kind of contract, not because he's an 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.400 elite quarterback, but it's all timing when your contract comes 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:20.720 up in the NFL, if you are a quarterback who 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:24.879 is not a problem on your team, I mean, clearly, 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.400 he's got nothing better to do. Let's keep it moving though. 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.200 You know what is important? That are the tight end 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:34.000 fool gazes that I'm about to give you, Because if 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.760 you're a serious fantasy player, you need to worry about 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:40.399 what is going on in fantasy at the tight end position. 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.120 There are a couple of tight ends that are real 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.040 high in the rankings right now. I'm talking tight ends 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:48.119 three and four that I actually think are fool gazy. 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:50.760 Let me give you the first one. Okay, Jordan Reed 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.720 is going right now as tight end four. He's going 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:57.840 as number fifty overall. That's basically like a fifth round 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:01.880 draft pick. If I'm going to spend on a tight 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:05.080 end in the fifth round, I am not gonna go 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:08.359 with someone that is an injury risk. Jordan Read is 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:11.560 pretty much the analogy. It's like, it's pretty much the 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:16.680 the Andrew Luck of tight ends. Okay, Um, if I'm 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:19.120 gonna spend for a tight end, I'm gonna get something 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:22.000 that's more stable. I don't want to invest in a 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.560 tight end at that level and then all of a sudden, 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:27.400 have him be doubtful every week, have him have an 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:30.720 ankle injury, a foot thing to worry about, being competing 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:33.919 with Vernon Davis. I listen, this guy is played in 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:38.560 twelve games, eleven games, nine games. He is definitely injury prone. 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:41.200 I think, similar to quarterback, there's so many other kind 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:44.280 of options. I'll wait and get myself, Hunter, Henry, I'll 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:47.719 wait and get myself Eric Ebron, who liked the caller 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.960 and Detroit mentioned he should know about Eric Ebron. Right, 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:54.359 I'd rather Eric Ebron than a guy like Jordan Reid. 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:57.439 So to me, Jordan Reed is not worth the price. 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:00.560 So to me, he is a fantasy full gaze. Forget 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.400 about him. All right, there's another tight end I want 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:06.159 to give you even higher in the rankings. I'm talking 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:09.480 Greg Olsen. Greg Olsen right now is going as tight 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:13.000 and in three he's going as number forty eight overall. 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:15.600 That's the back end of the fourth round in twelve 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:18.600 team drafts. I think Greg Olsen this year is a 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:22.280 fool gazy Okay, I love Greg Olsen. I think Greg 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:26.399 Olsen has been solid production for a long time. Here's 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:30.720 the thing. The Carolina Panthers are changing their offense this year. Okay. 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:33.800 They are trying to get the ball out of Cam 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:36.960 Newton's hands a little bit quicker, because, like I said, 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:40.080 and like John and Detroit needs to know hashtag, all 0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:43.720 quarterbacks matter, even Cam Newton. So they are trying to 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:46.879 protect him by getting the ball out a little bit quicker. 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:49.840 That means no more five seven step drops to Greg 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:51.960 Olsen chucking it. They're gonna try and hit you know, 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:55.360 Christian McCaffrey. They're gonna try and hit Curtis Samuel, They're 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.600 gonna try and hit Benjamin on slant routes. Okay. I 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.600 think that means that greg Old will not be like 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:05.359 Cam's eyes focused on him. Also, greg Olsen is entering 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:08.320 his age. I think thirty two season, this is not 0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:10.639 the place where people ascend. He was tight end to 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:14.280 last year. Eighty catches over a thousand yards and he 0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:18.000 had a hundred and twenty nine targets, that second most 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:20.520 in the NFL among tight ends. I think there's going 0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:23.400 to be regression there. That's why I think Greg Olsen 0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:25.520 at the back of the fourth round, beginning of the 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:27.879 fifth round is not going to return that value. He 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:31.159 is a tight end, all right. Here's the other one 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:32.719 I want to talk about. I have him up in 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:36.679 the poll and it is Delaney Walker. Delaney Walker is 0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:41.080 going as tight end nine right now. That is eighty overall. 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:45.080 We're talking about in like the seventh round of your draft. 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:47.760 And I don't think this is a good idea. Last year, 0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:52.680 Delaney Walker was Marcus Mariota's like security blanket, his comfort, 0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:55.760 his warm little blanket, as though he was lyingest, you know, 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:57.880 and he had that little blue blanket with him all 0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:01.240 the time. But that is not the case anymore. Tennessee 0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:03.720 went out in the off season and signed Derek Decker. 0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:06.919 Tennessee went out in the off season and drafted Corey 0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:10.440 Davis with their number five overall pick. They are building 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:15.320 other weapons for Delaney Walker. Delaney Walker had sixty five catches, 0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:19.359 eight hundred yards and seven touchdowns last season. I do 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:21.960
