Yeah, it's it's it's kind of crazy. 9 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: I think we talked about a little bit last week. 10 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: This year for me is kind of snuck up, I 11 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: think a little bit more so than others. Every year 12 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: it goes by quicker and quicker. Yeah, I mean, let's 13 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,599 Speaker 1: say we say it all the time. People ask us 14 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: what we do in the off season. I just laugh, 15 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: what do you mean? What do you mean offseason? Like 16 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: that's something we're such a funny term off season. Anyway, 17 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: we got planned to talk about because training camps are open, 18 00:00:58,360 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: and that means a lot of you are starting to 19 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: do drafts. That provided you haven't done drafts and mock 20 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: drafts and you know, slow drafts already. But we'll talk 21 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: a little draft strategy. The Fabs has written a little something. 22 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: Graham has written a little something. Also a question from 23 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: the audience, if you will, as we talk about that, 24 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: Plus Jacoby Brissette, who might be the new millennium Jack 25 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: Handy for those of the old enough to remember who 26 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: the original Jack Handy was, we'll talk about that. Normally 27 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: we would go behind the glass to talk to our 28 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: faithful producer, Senior Edward L. Murphy esquire, but I don't 29 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: know if you can tell we're he's right there. We're 30 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: continuing our magical mystery tour of recording about the lot here. 31 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: The studio is still under construction. Last week we were 32 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: in a conference room. This week we're on stage five, 33 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: which if any of you watched the Around the NFL 34 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: Twitter show, you would know that you'd be familiar with 35 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: this room. It's kind of like a man cave of 36 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: sorts with memorabilia behind us. There's fake grafts played with 37 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: any of those toys. There's fake grass on the walls. 38 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: We've had a lot of shoes sitting on these pillars 39 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: that are like made out of AstroTurf or something like that. Scratch. 40 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: They're kind of itchy, yeah, a little bit, a little scratch. Yeah, 41 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: they're a little bit itchy. So I had a golf 42 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: ball off this thing. So if you if you think 43 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: we sound a little bit different because we are not 44 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: in our normal home. So hopefully next week we'll be 45 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: able to get back to see now I am Atchy 46 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: Graham because you mentioned we put it in your head. 47 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: You have your clubs in the back of your car 48 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: because right now we could just dude, let's go it up. Man, 49 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: I've heard that last week, man, Dude, I had so 50 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 1: much fun I played. I played a round of golf 51 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: with Cedric the Entertainer, um Patrick Warburton, who is better 52 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: known as Putty from Seinfeld, Jason Chef who was the 53 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: lead singer of Chicago. But like now my golf game 54 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: is going right down the toilet because I won't pick 55 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: up another club until like Cedric the Entertainer had a 56 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: January had a character on one of Tiger Woods is old, 57 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: like right, I remember that I used to use that 58 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: crazy swing. He was had a crazy swing and like 59 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: he had the best outfits anyway, only we talked to Murph. 60 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: He is off the side, he's waving at you just 61 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: know that he's here and he's taking care of everything. 62 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: So in the meantime, let's do some news. Well, the 63 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: big story of the week, news wise, comes out of 64 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: Kansas City. After months of speculating what might happen to 65 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, where is he will not miss any games? 66 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: The NFL has decided not to suspend Tyreek Hill after 67 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: accusations of child abuse after the tape in which he 68 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: allegedly threatened violence against his fiancee. The league has decided 69 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: that there's not enough there to suspend Tyreek Hill. I 70 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: mean we could, I'm sure get into a long discussion 71 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: about you know what this means and you know how 72 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: this thing came about. Seriously, if you're Jerry Jones, how 73 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: pissed are you right now? I know he's he wasn't 74 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: happy originally when he's just been did I'm sure he 75 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: is super not happy now. I'm sure he has a 76 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: Lab Bay phone call or two to three five Park 77 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: Avenue to register his disgust and his his displeasure with 78 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: this um but just brass text because obviously this is 79 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: a fantasy football podcast. Uh fabs this. This means that 80 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: after kind of sliding in rankings, Tyreek Hill rockets right 81 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: back guy Dude, Yeah, I mean, like, now he's the 82 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: second round pick. So imagine and a lot of people 83 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: out there do Best Ball leagues, like all offseason. Imagine 84 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: you're doing Best Ball and you get Tyreek Hill and 85 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: like between round six and eight, like you're basically winning 86 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: the league. I mean, at least you're gonna be super competitive. 87 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: We did mock drafts where he didn't go off the 88 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: board until sixth round, seventh round. I saw him go 89 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: as as late as the ninth round when the news 90 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: initially broke. And I mean we all at the podcast 91 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: we're talking about like there's no way he doesn't get 92 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: some form of suspension for this, and then he gets nothing, 93 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: which is a shock. Like I drafted uh Nicole Hardman, 94 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: uh thinking in a couple of the league's take it. 95 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: Oh man, this guy is gonna end up seeing a 96 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: nice role now that pick is worth bump kiss because 97 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: he's not going to get any opportunities because he's got 98 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins ahead him on the desert, got Tyreek. Now 99 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: you've got Travis Kelsey's still like it changed the whole landscape, 100 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: and so I have Tyreek right in that Antonio Brown, 101 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: oh b J area. So he's gonna go in the 102 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: second round. Where do you guys have him ranked? Yeah, 103 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: I mean he's a second round guy. He's a top 104 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: probably five wide receiver for me right now, when it's 105 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: all said and done, I will say this has a 106 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: ripple effect for me on a lot of other people. 107 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: I mean obviously for Patrick Mahomes. Uh, you know that 108 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: that certainly bumps him back up again. Um, you mentioned 109 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: Nicole Hardman, who like kind of falls out and I 110 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: think Graham this does some good things for Sammy Watkins, 111 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: who we've seen in the past. When Watkins was expected 112 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: to be a number one wide receiver, he really struggled 113 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: in that role. But last year I felt like he 114 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: thrived because he wasn't the number one target. He knew 115 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: that he had Travis Kelsey and Tyreek Hill to take 116 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: some of that pressure off of him. And now he 117 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: I think slide back into a role where he's going 118 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: to be more comfortable again. Yeah, Sammy Watkins didn't play 119 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: a ton of full games last year, but when he did, 120 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: he was super productive. I think he averaged over seventy 121 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: yards per game, had a career high catch rate. With 122 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. But you mentioned Mahomes like I was pretty 123 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: much staying away from Homes in the third and fourth 124 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: round and all of my best Ball re draft leagues 125 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: all that stuff this offseason. But in the pros Verse 126 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: Joe's competition with a bunch of sharp people, I took 127 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: Mahomes in the late fourth round. I think it was 128 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: a four ten. Um. It's a tight end premium league, 129 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: Best Ball league with twenty eight rounds, so I mean 130 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: I wanted uh, I wanted week winners, and Mahomes slid 131 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: to forty six overall in that league, and I was 132 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: after the Tyreek killnews. Um, I'm with you, man, I'm 133 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: I'm I think I might be breaking some of my 134 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: uh my late round quarterback truther, my late round quarterback 135 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: Truther card this year with if Mahomes keeps sliding into 136 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: the fourth and fifth round with based on the Hill news, 137 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: but I have Hill at receiver six. He's right after 138 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: Julio Jones, and I could see drafting him as high 139 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: as receiver three over Beckham over Amis over. I mean, 140 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: he was the top three wide receiver last season. You know, 141 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: with Sammy Watkins, there's just dudes out there you don't trust, 142 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: Like I don't trust Sammy Watkins. I don't trust Allen Robinson. 143 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: There's just guys I don't trust. I don't trust Jarvis 144 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: Landry anymore. But the cheap you know, so exactly. So 145 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: like so Watkins is now he's a three at best 146 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: in fantasy, and so you want to have parts of 147 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: that Chief's offense because it's going to be so explosive. 148 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: So now it makes sense. Like I had put Watkins 149 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: in my top twenty, and it felt really bad about 150 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: it when we all thought Hill was going to be 151 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: out for part of the season or all of this season. 152 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: Now I feel more comfortable with him as a three 153 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: or maybe even a four. But he's still a guy 154 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't trust it in a prominent So I'm refreshing my 155 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: rankings this morning, and uh, I have Watkins slotted at 156 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: receiver thirty two after Will Fuller. That's in between Marvin Jones, 157 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: right after right before Christian Kirk Dante Pettis. So I mean, 158 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: I feel pretty good I've got him in that Christian 159 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: Kirk area Dante Pettis as well. Yeah, you know, I 160 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: think it may be fun to do at some point 161 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: before preseason starts. Uh, a segment about players we just 162 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: can't trust for whatever reason, you know, because they're there 163 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: are guys. There are guys out there that have burned 164 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: us in the past for whatever reason, and we are 165 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: just kind of gunshy and staying always so that will 166 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: be a fun thing to do. UM news out of 167 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: New England, Julian Edelman is going to miss the start 168 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: of training camp because of a thumb injury. I mean, Graham, look, 169 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: we know that when Edelman's on the field, he is 170 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: going to absorb a whole bunch of targets. Um, does 171 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: this change anything about how you feel about him or 172 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: how you feel about anybody else in that wide receiver 173 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: corps right not yet, obviously, with Edelman's age and his 174 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: other um injury injuries of past, slight slight concern, But 175 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: I mean it's so early in the game right now, 176 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: it's not that big of a deal. And frankly actually 177 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: think it might be a good thing for him that 178 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: he gets a little bit extra rest and they get mckill, 179 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: Harry and some of their younger guys more reps early 180 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: in camp. Yeah. I think the biggest fantasy conundrum for 181 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: the Patriots right now is that backfield. Because Michelle Pp 182 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: we all know that knee flares up from time and time. 183 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: There's a lot of chatter. I'm seeing Damien Harris move 184 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: up draft. I mean, he's not moving up significantly, but 185 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 1: he's getting drafted a little higher than he was. You've 186 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: got James White there as as well, who's going to 187 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: be a PPR play for you so adamant to me? 188 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: Is still going third fourth round? Um, no question about that. Yeah, Um. 189 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: You know. It's just it's so funny because the Patriots 190 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: have sort of become that team that we all know 191 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna win. We all know they're going to be successful. 192 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: But you look around, especially with no Gronk, there are 193 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: very few guys that you can draft with confidence off 194 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: this roster because you just even I mean, we're we've 195 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: reached an age where even Tom Brady in a lot 196 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: of drafts is still just sitting on the board late man. 197 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: He's going late man. Yea. So it's just a weird situation. 198 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: A couple of news notes out of Dallas, the Cowboys, 199 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: well the online of Harris Zikiel Elliott is still mulling 200 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: his options about whether or not he's gonna show up 201 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: to training camp. I mean, fact, you can't really believe 202 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna let him go without a deal, right. I mean, 203 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: I think this is different than when we talked about 204 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: in Gordon last week, and the charges are sort of 205 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: digging in and I don't know how much is gonna 206 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: happen there. I feel like Jerry is going to figure 207 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: out how to come up with some money for yeah, 208 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 1: and you know, to like, I feel like, you know, 209 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: Jerry sort of fronted the bill for some of these 210 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: legal situations that Zeke has been in in the past, 211 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: and I feel like Zeke, even just being loyal, shouldn't 212 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: go ahead. And well, I'm gonna hold out now because 213 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: I want to get paid. I believe the Cowboys have 214 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: a fifth year option and then he becomes a free 215 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: agent one. But I'm not moving Zeke down in my rankings. 216 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: I will tell you this. When when the news came 217 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: out that there was a shot that he could potentially 218 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: be holding out, Tony Pollard literally got drafted in in 219 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: like immediately, and so I end up getting like Darius 220 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 1: Jackson a little bit later on. But you know, I've 221 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: seen Pollard move up a little bit. But I think 222 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: this is you know, it's something that in the fantasy 223 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: analysts industry we have to worry about because now trying 224 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: to predict Melvin Gordon is going to be hard. Last 225 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: year it was impossible, and we were all wrong about 226 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: Levian Bell. And now you know, if Zeke does something 227 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 1: drastic and decides that he's going to hold out, you know, 228 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: what the heck do you do with that? Because I mean, 229 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: this is a this is a guy who I've seen 230 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: going number one overall. I mean, he is the one 231 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: of the elite running backs. I'll put it on a 232 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: wax now, I will be shocked if he misses any games. No, 233 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: I mean me too, I know. But like when you 234 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: hear that, and like we're all fantasy analysts and fantasy owners, 235 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: we are all Freddy cats. We really are anything. Oh 236 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 1: my god, you know now Tyreek Killy, we're gonna he's 237 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: gonna spend you know, eighth ninth round and now look 238 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: at what happens, you know, I mean, the Tyreek Hill 239 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 1: situation is totally different though, because the process there was right. 240 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: I think we all agreed he would at least get 241 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: six games, and for whatever reason, he didn't get any. Um. 242 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: The Zeke situation is different though, because I mean they 243 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: are so incentivized because that offense, like we talked about, 244 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: it runs through Zeke. I'd be shocked as well. Also, 245 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: I also go back, and someone asked me about this yesterday. 246 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: I go back to nine three when Immitt Smith held out. 247 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: If it's Smith held out and the Cowboys were dead 248 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: city set against paying him. They lose a couple of 249 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: games earlier this season, we lost the first against here, 250 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: and then Emma came back and wait and suddenly Jerry 251 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: was like, Hey, maybe we need that number twenty two guy. Uh, 252 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: So they figured out how to pay him, and so 253 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think Jerry wants a redo of that. 254 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: I'm not concerned. I'm not concerned at this point. Like 255 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: it's different than Melvin Gordon, and it really is. It varies. 256 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 1: Also other Cowboys news, Uh, the team releasing Alan Hearns. 257 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: That news came out just just this morning before we 258 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: started recording this podcast. Hearn's last year had a horrible injury, 259 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: broke his leg, and you know, all some things pointed 260 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: to him missing probably all of this season, at least 261 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: the majority of this season. The Cowboys in the offseason 262 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: went and got Randall Cobbs, so it certainly looks like, uh, 263 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: you know, Herns obviously has done with the Cowboys. We'll 264 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: see whether or not some team decides to take a 265 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 1: chance on him somewhere down the road. But family, I 266 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: mean this, this just means good things for better things 267 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,719 Speaker 1: for Michael gallup coming this year. Yea. And first off, 268 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,599 Speaker 1: Alan Man, love you, dude, and wish you nothing but 269 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: the best. Alan is a really good guy, a really 270 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: good guy, and I wish him nothing but the best thing. 271 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: I hope he ends up back on an NFL roster 272 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: and gets back out on the Gray as soon as possible. 273 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: I love when when undrafted free agents come out and 274 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: immediately make names for themselves, and it's really means immediately, 275 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: he immediately made an impact. Do you remember like Alan 276 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: Herns was like and I always go back to like 277 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: the Frisman Jackson because Frisman Jackson opened the season went 278 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 1: nuts and people went went out and like picked him 279 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: up and they didn't do anything the rest of you, 280 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: but Alan Hearns. The first game was against I believe 281 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: it was against the Philadelphia Eagles, and I think who 282 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: touchdowns and everyone was running to the waiver wire to 283 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: grab Allan Herns but we wish you the best the 284 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys offense. I mean, listen, gallup Is is a late 285 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: run flyer, a worthwhile guy like I have him right around, 286 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: like you know, the DeShawn Hamilton's sort of area in 287 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: my rankings where these are guys that you take chances 288 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: on late because there's potentially uh an opportunity for them 289 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: to see an increase in targets. And Randall Cobb, though 290 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: I don't see him being drafted in most leaks, people 291 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: are soured on the fact that he hasn't been durable 292 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 1: and that the Cowboys have a lot of mouths to 293 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: feed in the offense. Talking about a Marie Cooper, Jason 294 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: Witten's back from the broadcast booth, we mentioned gal Zeke 295 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: had seventy seven catches last season, so there's other options 296 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: there too. So Cobb, he's not on the draft board 297 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: right now. I'm seeing you know, rookies being picked way 298 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: ahead of him, like you know Andy Isabella for example, 299 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: right you know, DK Metcalf. People are not are not 300 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: really focusing on Randall Cobb, even as a late lone flyer. Yeah, no, 301 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think part of it also 302 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: is just we're talking about people we can't trust anymore. 303 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: I think some of it is having seen those last 304 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: couple of years in Green Bay, uh, and just not 305 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: knowing how he's going to fit into this offense. Last 306 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: bit of news, the Bills general manager says he is confident, 307 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: confident that Lashawn McCoy can quote still play Graham? Does 308 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: this is this? Are they just are they just setting 309 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: this up to try and trade the Shawn McCoy, Like, 310 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: can we really buy into this? Or is this like 311 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: trying to trying to gas a guy up? So maybe 312 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: some team will offer something in a truck. I mean, 313 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: the Bills can still get out from underneath McCoy's contract 314 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: and save a lot of money against the cap this year. 315 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: This is he's obviously in turning the final year of 316 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: his deal. He's thirty one years old. His snap rate 317 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: was cut last year, um from around around that's even 318 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: with Chris Ivory's own ineffectiveness and then obviously all their 319 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: moves this offseason. UM, I think right now Devin Singletary 320 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: is really the only Bill is back I'm moderately interested in. 321 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: But even then, so I'm gonna give you hypothetical. You 322 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: guys tell me I think that if McCoy gets traded 323 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: to the Bucks, that would be a great fit because 324 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: I don't Yeah, Ronald Jones and Peyton Barber, I would 325 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: love that. If McCoy goes to Tampa Bay, where do 326 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: you draft in? What round? I think that's a best 327 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: case scenarios case. I don't know what four, four, five, five, 328 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: six for me or probably around that Tevin Colemanry, but 329 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: you're starting to feel good about him again right now. 330 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: It's right at least at least you would have the 331 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: opportunity and a ton I mean, just a great offensive 332 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: ecosystem from getting touchdowns. But that's that is an awesome 333 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: in a in a fantasy scenario, Lashawn McCoy go in 334 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: the Tampa they would be would be pretty good. Yeah, 335 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: I think pretty good. It would be a great fit. 336 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: And then that would open up the door for Singletary 337 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: to come in and play a bigger role. That would 338 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: be great. I mean, look last week across our fingers. 339 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: Last year, the Bill's best running back was a rookie quarterback. 340 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: So that tells a little bit about they're running situations there. Yea, 341 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: that's pretty much everything you need to know. Guys are 342 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: terrible at taking care of their health, whether it's a 343 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: knee injury, bad back, or something worse. Guys are usually 344 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: more comfortable just rubbing some dirt on it than seeing 345 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: a doctor, which explains why I have a couple of 346 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: week Achilles tendons, because you know, I just put some 347 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: my on and just let it go anyway.

Al Right, 364 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: it is fantasy draft season. I mean it's been fantasy 365 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 1: draft season in some in some areas for a while now, 366 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: but I think a lot more folks are starting to 367 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: get on board and starting to check you in. So 368 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: I feel like that's a good time to talk some 369 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: draft strategies and sort of help out. We've got some 370 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: stuff up on the website NFL dot com slash Fantasy 371 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: that will help you out quite a bit. Fabs, you 372 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 1: just recently finished your draft tiers quarterback, tight end, running back, 373 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: and receiver. In fact, by the time most of you 374 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 1: get to listen to this podcast, the wide receiver portion 375 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: will be up and available. And I mean one, I 376 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: know this is the thing you do every year. You 377 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: sort of break these guys down into different tiers. I 378 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: love looking at the quarterbacks Tier one. It's just it's 379 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: one guy. It's just one guy rolling with mahomies man 380 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: um and and I don't see another quarterback being close 381 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: to him. Because even in the drafts that we've done, 382 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: you know, Grammy talked about Mahomes fourth round. That's probably 383 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: as late as he's going to go. Even in industry 384 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 1: leagues where we all like hate drafting quarterbacks early. Um, 385 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: but then you're not seeing the next quarterback come off 386 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 1: the board. I think the earliest I saw another quarterback 387 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: off the board was maybe six seventh in a twelve 388 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: team league, and that was you know, Andrew Luck, Deshaun Watson, Rodgers. 389 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: So Mahomes is in a class by himself, and he's 390 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 1: coming off the greatest season of any fantasy football quarterback ever, 391 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: so regression might be the coming. But even if he regresses, 392 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: he's not gonna be pretty damn good. So he's got 393 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: his own tier. Yeah. I still have Watson and Luck 394 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: right in that tier, right in that first year too, 395 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: but with now obviously the tinge that tyreekill. I just 396 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: love DeShawn Watson and Luck this year. Um, I still 397 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: think they both have forty plus touchdown upside. Watson obviously 398 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: has so much rushing upside and scrambling upside behind that 399 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: Texas offensive line. I still think that they're similarly tiered players. 400 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: But just knowing that Mahomes has I mean, I mean, 401 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: he's Patrick Mahomes, it's literally a weak winning upside. Yeah, 402 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: and that second tier I have Watson luck, and I 403 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: mean you can really put it like one a too 404 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: uh and and Rodgers, And I know some people are 405 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: donand Rodgers. I don't know if I'm just nostalgic. I 406 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 1: love Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, he's won me championships. And keep 407 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: in mind, too, all these young wide receivers have now 408 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: had a full season underbelt catching the ball from him. 409 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: They're gonna see bigger roles. And I still think he's 410 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: he's one of the you know, the top three or 411 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: four quarterbacks in fantasy football. I also think there's definitely 412 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: optimism now that it's Matt Lafleur running off instead of 413 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. And that was one of the big storylines 414 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: last year. And so now the hope is maybe this 415 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: opened some things up and helps Rogers kind of thrive 416 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: a little bit. One thing I noticed that, you know, 417 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: and I don't. I don't think you're wrong. I just 418 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: think it's a sign of the times. Drew Brees is 419 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: down in Tier four like that. Did you see the world? 420 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: I had to do it? I have. I don't know 421 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: what it is. I got some kind of sickness with 422 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. I I keep moving him up. I can't stop. 423 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: Like every time I read do my brages, I'm like, 424 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: all right, I'm taking him ahead of Breeze. I'm taking 425 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: him ahead of Breeze, taking ahead of Wentz. I don't care. 426 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: I love this kid. If I'm wrong, I'll tell you 427 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: i'm wrong when we come to the end of the season. 428 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: I just love him. I feel like Breeze, a forty 429 00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: year old guy who's not going to throw the balls 430 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 1: six hundred times, seven hundred times. This is a quarterback 431 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: who now they've got to scale back. I think a 432 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 1: little bit right. You know, you bring in you bring 433 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 1: in Latavius, You've got Alvin Camara, Uh, Jared Cook comes 434 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: into the mix as well. This is not going to 435 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: be the same explosive guy. And remember, like Drew Brees 436 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: in the second half of last season, you put him 437 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: on the road on grass. I don't care if it's 438 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: a weird trend. It's a trend. He doesn't put up 439 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: the number. So he's the new Ben Roethlisberger as well. 440 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, Roethlisberger became non Roethlisberger last season because 441 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: he started to play well on the road. But like 442 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: I just forty year old quarterback who's going to the 443 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, compared to a guy who's coming into 444 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: the league in an offense that's gonna just they're gonna 445 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna have more plays than anybody in the league. 446 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: You would think that's what clip Kingsbury wants and he 447 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: could run with the football. I just love it, and 448 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: I'm I'm all in. I'm all in. Being off Drew 449 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: Brees is a sharp take this year. The Saints, I 450 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: think their top six and run rate over the past 451 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: two years, but they're creeping up with two Dallas basically 452 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: Dallas level territories in terms of their run oriented offense. 453 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,199 Speaker 1: Being Breezes definite in sharp takes this year, especially especially 454 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: because it's so it's such a loaded quarterback here. Listen, 455 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: I've I've come out of a mock draft, so one 456 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 1: of the last ones I did my quarterbacks were Golf 457 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson. I'm totally fine with it. And I 458 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: mean Golf wasn't a guy drafted until the ninth or 459 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: tenth round. I'm totally cool with it. I have no problem. 460 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: I love Lamar Jackson as well, running with the football 461 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: that maybe the next Mike Vick. I'm happy with it. 462 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind going into it into a league. Now, 463 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's a ten team league or maybe 464 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: even a twelfth team league. If I'm going into a 465 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: league and my two quarterbacks are Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, wow, 466 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 1: I would feel confident in it. Mad. I really would, 467 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: because because I waited so long, the rest of my 468 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: roster is jacked. I mean, people forget how good Josh 469 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: Allen wasn't the second half of last season. Yeah, I mean, look, 470 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 1: I I definitely know he took everybody by surprise. I'm 471 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: still waiting for him to become a passer because I'm 472 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: just I'm skeptical that he's gonna be able to run 473 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: the football again like he did last year. And I 474 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 1: admittedly am a skeptic. I'm the guy who was like, hey, 475 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: if I miss out on a guy, then like, so 476 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: be it, rather than you know, I'll let it be 477 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: somebody else's headache. So um, it's definitely possible. I think 478 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: I'm just a little too scared. But like in the 479 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: fourteen team league, I'll take those two quarterbacks. I'll be 480 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: fine with it because the rest of my roster is 481 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: going to be loaded. I'll say It's really hard to 482 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: go in all in on somebody this year because I 483 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: love Cam, I love Wins, I like Baker a little 484 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: bit expensive. Um, the Ravens have the easiest, one of 485 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: the two easiest schedules in terms of strength of schedule 486 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 1: against run defenses per Warrent Sharp this year. Lamar Jackson, 487 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: Mark mark Ingram, all those guys are They're they're facing 488 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: an extremely extremely soft writing schedule. Um, yeah, I'm not. 489 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: I'm not opposed to getting Lamar as my QB one 490 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: either late links just because bigger leagues. I'm not talking 491 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: about Twinter twelve. I would take him as my QB 492 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: one of twelve team weeks is probably a little too shallow, 493 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: but twelve is fun, all right. Um. One of the 494 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: things that you're running back tears no shock of Tier one, 495 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: say kwan Z, Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara. Um Tier two, 496 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: uh Leve Bell. David Johnson right behind Levion Bell, and 497 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: I feel like that's a name that is starting to rise. 498 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: Like I think people were sort of slow to get 499 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 1: onto David Johnson train, but I feel like that thing 500 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: has started to roll now. Yeah with Levian I listen, 501 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: I mean he didn't play last season, so if nothing else, 502 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna be fresh, right, He's gonna see volume a 503 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: ton of it in that offense. And I just believe 504 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: that he is well where I haven't. I haven't fifth 505 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: overall running back. I moved him because I had to 506 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: move Gordon down with this, with this holdout situation, and 507 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: the opportunities are gonna be there. You know, I almost 508 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: compare him to his teammate Antonio Brown right there. He's 509 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: going to a lesser offense. You know, Brown is going 510 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 1: to a quarterback who's very good, but not nearly as 511 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: good as Ben Roethlisberger. Levian bell going from Steelers and 512 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: that offensive line to the Jets, their offensive line, a 513 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: young quarterback in Sam Donald. But what do we always say? 514 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: Marcus Volume is king in fantasy football and Levian Belle 515 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: is going to see a lot of volume. Um. Tier 516 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: four is a name that that I have become really 517 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: big on is Marlon mack. Um. Everybody's moving him up, 518 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 1: A guy that I love, And part of it for 519 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: me is that I have gone all in on Andrew 520 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: luck Is QB one this year and I love that offense, 521 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 1: and I think Marlon mack is going to be a 522 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: guy who sort of profits from that. I mean, he uh, 523 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 1: maybe he's a decent enough pass catcher. We saw him 524 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: last year run the ball effectively. Remember at the start 525 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: of last year, Jim Mercy is making these giant pronouncements 526 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: about how Marlon max is gonna have this huge year, 527 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: and we're all kind of like, yeah, all right, and 528 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: then at the point in the year it kind of 529 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: clicked like when mad those guys not bad. Um. The 530 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: one thing I would like to see is more consistency 531 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: out of him. You know, he would give you some 532 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: huge weeks that he'd follow it up with like thirty 533 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: five yards. So if we can sort of even that 534 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: out a little bit, that would be better. But I 535 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: I have started to kind of get really big on 536 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: Marlon Mack in the last few weeks. Minly concerned with 537 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: Mac is when the Colts were behind last year, he 538 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 1: was typically plucked from the field than favor of Night. 539 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: But I think we're all expecting the Colts to be 540 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:05,959 Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the NFL. And if 541 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 1: if they do, when ten plus games, which I'm kind 542 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: of expecting Mac is going to smash this offensive line 543 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: is good. I mean durability, you know, might be a 544 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 1: little bit of a concern. Um, but you know, all 545 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: things being equal, like he's an RB two right now 546 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: in fantasy and there's no question about that. So go 547 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: check out Fabs's draft tears you find at NFL dot 548 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 1: com slash Fabiano um, and you know they're all up 549 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 1: their quarterback, running back, receiver, tight end. Go check those out. Uh, 550 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: speaking of tight end, Graham, you recently wrote a piece 551 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: on kind of approaching the tight end position in drafts, 552 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 1: and uh, you know you mentioned it's a thing we've 553 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: talked about on this podcast multiple times. But the fact 554 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: that the position should be deeper this year. You know, 555 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: we know the big three at the top with Kelsey, 556 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: Arts and Kittle, Um, but you know, Hunter, Henry is 557 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: back from injury. We'll see what Delaney Walker is gonna do. 558 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: O J. Howard's expected to do big things. This is 559 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: a position that suddenly, you know, if you don't get 560 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: one of the big three, you don't necessarily have to 561 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: panic the rest of your draft. Yeah, that's absolutely right. Um, 562 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: I'm really really high on O. J. Howard, Evan Ingram, 563 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: Hunter Henry, That entire tier that kind of goes in 564 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 1: the fifth sixth round of drafts. This year, I kind 565 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: of pretty much wrote a whole thesis about why I'm 566 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: fading Earth's and Kittle and pretty much just attacking that 567 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: whole breakout here in the fifth or six round. But 568 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: you mentioned this year there's some really interesting late round 569 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: tight ends from veterans to you know, kind of maybe 570 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: second year breakout candidates like Mark Andrews to Jordan Read, 571 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: Greg Olsen some and some some of the veterans that 572 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: we were typically drafting earlier really started to slip in drafts. 573 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: I think tight end is going to bounce back in 574 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: a big way this year, especially after writing that draft guide. Um, 575 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: I will say there's only maybe seven or eight tight 576 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: ends that you can really feel comfortable comfortable about like 577 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: starting every single week coming into coming into this year. 578 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: But I think that that there's a definite chance that 579 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: will change very very quickly based on all of the 580 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: talent and just how how cheap some of the late 581 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: round guys on this year. Yeah, And I think that's 582 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 1: that's the thing, that you can get some guys good 583 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: value later on in your dress Srey Burton was the 584 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: seventh round pick last year. Guys, I mean he's free 585 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: essentially twelve. I mean, so I have been finding myself 586 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: getting Jared Cook a lot uh in drafts, which I'm 587 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: fine with, you know, in New Orleans. But like I'm 588 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: I've never really been that guy who's going to spend 589 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: a second round pick on Kelsey even though he's well 590 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: worth it. I don't know, man, just just just calling 591 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: me a fashion I just can't do it. Um, But 592 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: I I find myself going after the Mark Andrews of 593 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: the world late, Like I like, I'll get I'll get 594 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: a Titan, maybe like like a David and joeku um, 595 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: maybe like a Jack Doyle and right, and then I'll 596 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: pair him with a with a player that I think 597 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: has some upside, like in Andrews. Um advance. McDonald is 598 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: another player who's certainly moving up. I've seen him ranked 599 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: in the top ten among tight ends among some of 600 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: some of our friends in the industry. So there's a 601 00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: lot of talent there. But yeah, you guys are right, 602 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: there are very few sure things at tight end this season. 603 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: A quick question, because like I've seen his name sort 604 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: of hyped, and you know, we all know that preseason 605 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: hype has to be taken with just an entire shaker 606 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: of salt um. How are we feeling about Austin Hooper 607 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: because I've seen some some buzz around his name, and 608 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: you know that maybe this is finally the year for 609 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: Austin Hooper. Mean, last year was a career year and 610 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: I put air quotes around that six hundred and sixty yards, 611 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: four touchdowns, seventy one catches. Uh mean, any it is, 612 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: It's kind of right, But is that is that who 613 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: he is? Or is there an expectation that maybe he 614 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: does more? I'm I'm completely off Hooper this year. I 615 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: wrote about this in my draft of his seventies seven 616 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: receptions came in just three games against the Steelers, Bucks, 617 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: and Browns. He had nine, nine and ten receptions in 618 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: those games, which is just ridiculous, and only saw fourteen 619 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: percent of the team's targets over the whole season. And 620 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: that's with basically Demonta Freeman missing the entire year and 621 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley being a rookie. Now Freeman's back, Ridley's got 622 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: another year of experience under his belt. I mean, I can't. 623 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: I just think there's there's there's guys going later than him, 624 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,959 Speaker 1: like Dlaney Walker, Jordan Reid. Even Jack Laney didn't even 625 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: Jackpot on the pup, So that's that's a good thing. Yeah, 626 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: Hooper is on that list of dudes. I don't trust him, right, Yeah, 627 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: I mean I kind of felt that way too. I just, 628 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: you know, I just didn't know if I was missing 629 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: out on something because this hype was starting to build. 630 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: So that that makes me feel better. You're not missing 631 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: out on anything. Sounds good. Um. One question we got 632 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: that I got at least on Twitter. Actually we all did, 633 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: because you guys were all tagged in this week from 634 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: Hong Kong from Dare you Leave Us? From Hong Kong Hawk, 635 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: wanting to know our thoughts on stacking wide receivers and 636 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: running backs. He was saying this because he says he's 637 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: expecting to take Zeke with his first pick in his 638 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: draft uh, and then wondering whether he should sort of 639 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: back that up a couple of rounds later with a 640 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: Mari Cooper that he thought being he would ensure that 641 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: I'd rarely be pissed at the end of a ballast drive, 642 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: you know, thinking that either Zeke scoring or it's Cooper 643 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: that's scoring. Um, I mean, obviously you can't do this 644 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: with every team, but just your guys of thoughts on 645 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: maybe pairing up a top line running back with a 646 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: number one receiver from a team. Yeah, Bengals, please Joe 647 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: Mixon j Green, and it's not that expensive. I mean, 648 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: you can take Joe Mix in the late second, excuse me, 649 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: in the early second of your draft. If you have 650 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: a pick of the turn, come back around and get 651 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: a j Green the late third. Um. Cooper to Zeke 652 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: is interesting, but I'm less interested in Cooper when he 653 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: goes like he's going to go pretty early in draft. 654 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: But like if he's going over like Keenan Allen and 655 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: Julian Llen with some of those guys, Um, it's less 656 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: of an interest to me. And obviously the Bucks I 657 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: think are probably a top stack option this year. But 658 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: I don't mind getting multiple players from offenses that we 659 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: expect to be explosive. I know a lot of people 660 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: on the Cardinals, you know, so like Kyler and David 661 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: Johnson and Larry FitzGeralds starting to move up as well. 662 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: I have no problem with that. I did a mock 663 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: draft with Jamie Eisenberg with the CBS folks, and I 664 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: ended up, I believe with Golf Gurley and Robert Woods. 665 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: I have no problem with that out do I want 666 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: do I want uh, several players from some of these 667 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: lesser offenses. No, be smart about it, but points is points, man, 668 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: and and so if you get guys uh and shares 669 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: of players from really good offensive attacks, I mean, go 670 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: for it. Yeah, I mean, I think it's very doable, 671 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,719 Speaker 1: especially in a lot of situations. Whether you know you're 672 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: looking at say Julio Jones, DeVante Freeman. You know you 673 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: mentioned the Bucks Graham. I mean, you know it's it's 674 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: possible to get a James Conner and Juju Smith shoes through. 675 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: I mean, those those are very doable. And I think 676 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: fat you your point is is is right where it's 677 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: better to do it from? And it I mean, I 678 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: know it sounds simple, but taking players from good offenses 679 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: there's generally a way to have fantasy success. Um, you know, 680 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: I know that. You know, I know sometimes you get 681 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: stuck in that mindset of looking at a bad offense 682 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: and thinking, Hey, somebody's gotta catch the ball or somebody's 683 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: gonna run the ball. Uh, not necessarily look at the Ravens. 684 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: I'm really I'm barely seeing Marky's bron getting drafted. I'm 685 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: not seeing any pass catchers except for Mark Andrew being 686 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: drafted out of that offense, just because what we saw 687 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: last season and Lamar, you know, averaging seventeen carries a game. 688 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: It was just ridiculous. You know, It's a really fun 689 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: cheap team stack to do in fantasy this year is 690 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,719 Speaker 1: the Niners. You can get Garoppolo extremely cheap, you can 691 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: get Pettis extremely cheap, Coleman, all their backs are cheap. 692 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: So if you're all in on the Niners this year, 693 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: which I'm pretty close to being, m Chittle is the 694 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: only one that's really going to cost you anything. And 695 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: exactly Coleman is probably not coming off the board until 696 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: six or seven, yeah, depending on the side of the league. 697 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: And I'm starting to feel more confident with him just 698 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: because just because of this talk that the Niners aren't 699 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: going to address three of their running backs on game. 700 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: Jerk McKinnon's still battling coming back from that a c 701 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: O injury. Matt Breed is obviously help you tell with 702 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: literally a laundry list of injuries teams. So um, yeah, 703 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: it's havin Coleman's I think in a sneaky good spot too, 704 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: So there you go. Yeah, that's our thoughts on it. 705 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: So basically the consensus is, yeah, it's not a bad 706 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: idea if you're getting the right players. Um, you know, 707 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: the old draft good players theory coming into effect here, 708 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: great advice from us, I know, right, that's why they 709 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: pay us the medium sized books. Um, before we get 710 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: out of here, you know another tweet that that I 711 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: got this from Schultz in in s twenties six, Um, 712 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: asking if we were gonna talk about Jacoby Brissette because 713 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: he sort of he was making Twitter news from Noah Schultz, 714 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,280 Speaker 1: you know, talking about the gold mine that is Jacoby 715 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: Brissett's Twitter on the next NFL Fantasy Live episode. Um, yeah, 716 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: he has become so Graham. I don't know if you're 717 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: old enough to remember Jack Handy on Saturday Night Live. 718 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: So he was a writer. He was a staff writer 719 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: on snl uh and you never actually saw him appear 720 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: on screen, but he would do this segment called Deep 721 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,840 Speaker 1: Thoughts with Jack Handy was basically him voicing over like 722 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: with like serene music and just like a scroll with 723 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: this text and he would just have these random deep thoughts, 724 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,399 Speaker 1: like you know, stuff like, uh, you know, if you're 725 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: ever walking around and you don't want people to ask 726 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: you to do things, carry two sacks in your hands. 727 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 1: So when people ask you to do something, you say sorry, 728 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: I got these sacks. I mean, just like just random 729 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: nonsensical thoughts like that, And so reading Jacobe Brossett's tweets 730 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: has sort of made me think he's like a new 731 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 1: millennium jet handy. Right, the one that really got attention, 732 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: uh last week a couple of weeks ago. If the 733 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: Sun is hot, how is outer space cold? Right? This 734 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: was I mean, this is the one that like took 735 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: off on Twitter to the point that I believe he 736 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: actually got a response from someone at NASA to explain 737 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: the physics of the Sun and outer space. Space is 738 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: kind of big. It's huge. I mean, it's kind of big. 739 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: Do you do you think for set And since luck 740 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 1: is a genius from Stanford, do you think that they 741 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,760 Speaker 1: discussed this in quarterback rooms? Like I didn't to imagine 742 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,879 Speaker 1: they probably have some pretty zany thoughts in you would 743 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,439 Speaker 1: think so, especially because like some of the smartest people 744 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 1: I know have some of the strangest thoughts and just 745 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 1: some of the weirdest like another one man who coined 746 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: the saying a dog's mouth is cleaner than the humans? 747 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: How they come up with this information? Yeah, that's a 748 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: good question. Is my test for bacteria? I feel like 749 00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess. I mean, my my dog is 750 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:04,439 Speaker 1: often times eating the grass. Don't eat his key star 751 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: dog like sniff and other dog's key star. If if 752 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: if a dog's mouth is cleaner than mine, like, I'm 753 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 1: doing something really wrong. Um. Lightning never strikes twice in 754 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,280 Speaker 1: the same place. How does lightning know where it has struck? 755 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 1: Who created the phrase? I mean, these are great. If 756 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,399 Speaker 1: you drink water out of a cup, do you still 757 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: have to wash the cup? Asking for a friend. My 758 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: favorite one so far, though, has been which part of 759 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: the pig skin is actually a football? It's actually? Um? Yeah, 760 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 1: Jacoby percet Man he's become a Twitter superstar in the 761 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 1: last week or so, which, you know, I guess. When 762 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: you're not going to get on the field a whole lot, Um, 763 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: you gotta do something to distinguish yourself. You know, he's 764 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 1: been really good. Rex Chapman the blocker charge becoming a 765 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 1: staple on Twitter. I know our own Steve Weish is 766 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: big on responding and retweeting those charge has become definitely 767 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 1: a meme epidemic, and some of them are lating on. 768 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: Some of them are incredible, yeah yeah, some of them 769 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 1: are like our Darwinism level, uh your collisions.
