8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: On Twitter at no, I changed my Twitter name. Oh

9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: you're dead?

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 3: I did.

11
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: I demande. It's something easy.

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 3: It's something easier now.

13
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: But I've gotten so good at singing the kN A B.

14
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well now it's you can still look that up.

15
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure you still find me. It's a PPR

16
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 3: Tyler now just pp R Tyler. I can't believe that

17
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 3: name was still that PPR Tyler. I like it.

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: It winks per.

19
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 3: It's really come into my fantasy points per rash, my

20
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 3: career fantasy.

21
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: That's uh. I like that points per rash. Let's let's

22
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: run that.

23
00:00:59,160 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 2: Uh.

24
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: Today, we're gonna break down James Connor.

25
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 3: He just won't go away. The player won't go He

26
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 3: wants a couple I thought when he went to the

27
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 3: cards like he's done after this year, We're not gonna

28
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: talk about anymore, right, And he's not. Only are we

29
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 3: still talking about him, he's still producing, still producing. He

30
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 3: was the RB nineteen last season, he was the RB

31
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 3: ten and average points per game and he's going off

32
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: the board is RB twenty seven the exact same story.

33
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: It was like.

34
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: Nobody wants him.

35
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, he's not.

36
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: A highlight guy.

37
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 3: He's just a grinder, right yeah, And the definition of

38
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 3: a grinder he is.

39
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: And so you know, you don't get these explosive plays,

40
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: you don't get red zone alerts, you know, you just

41
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: he's just a guy in a bad offense. And yet

42
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the day.

43
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 3: He gets it done. He does. I mean, after Kyler

44
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: got hurt last season, he I mean, he just did

45
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 3: what he did this season before. It was one hundred

46
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: and forty against New England. And these are all good

47
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 3: like running defenses for the most part.

48
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: After Kyler got hurt. So this is like the final

49
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: whatever six seven games this season.

50
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 3: Against New England. One hundred fourteen yards in the touchdown

51
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 3: against Denver, one hundred two yards in a touchdown against

52
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay, one hundred and twenty yards in the touchdown,

53
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: and then against Atlanta one hundred and twenty eight yards

54
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 3: no touchdown, But he was the RB four in that span.

55
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: Wow, all right, James Connor, this guy quietly powering teams.

56
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: Him and Jerick McKinnon powering teams through the fantasy playoffs.

57
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 3: Another stat I like too, He hasn't caught less than

58
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: thirty four passes since his rookie season where he had

59
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: a zero and he had like two games.

60
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't think of him as a PPR helper,

61
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: but he is.

62
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 3: But he is. And who's gonna take touches away from Connor?

63
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 3: Like you think you thought, maybe, oh, Cardinal's gonna draft

64
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: a running back maybe like round three, round four, Like

65
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: they're definitely a candidate to do so. And right now,

66
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 3: here's the depth chart. Keyonta Ingram no threat, Corey Clement

67
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: no threat, and Tyson Williams who got cut when he

68
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 3: was like the one, JK. Dobbins and Gus Edward J

69
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: c Elsa.

70
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: You remember that.

71
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, what a time.

72
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: So that guy's not going to be a factor. All right,

73
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: So it's James Connor's job. We know they're going to

74
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 1: use him prodigiously in Arizona. It's a bad team. They're

75
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: going to be losing a lot of games, so we'll

76
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: have to be worried a little bit about it's halftime

77
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: and they're down by seventeen, So are the Cardinals going

78
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: to be running a lot in the second half of games?

79
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, we care a

80
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: lot about opportunity, and He's and James Connor's gonna run

81
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: the ball a lot.

82
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they might not even if they're down like

83
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: twenty at half time. He might still be on the

84
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 3: field just catching more passes. Anyway. If he's on the field,

85
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 3: I mean it's first down, they're gonna throw, oh both

86
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: swing pass at the James Connor for three yards. Yeah.

87
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: In such a deep running back draft, I really thought

88
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: the Cardinals would put a fourth rounder fifth runner. Now,

89
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: they had need everywhere, so I get it, But I

90
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: would have thought they'd have put a mid rounder on

91
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: the running back position and got themselves a little more help. Instead,

92
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: they didn't go that way. I love the fact that

93
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: they did put a first rounder into the offensive line. Finally,

94
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: addressing offensive line, they have a whole new coaching staff,

95
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: including a new offensive coordinator, Drew Petzig, who had some

96
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: time here in Minnesota but also with Cleveland. Then with

97
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: those two offenses had in especially when he was in

98
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: Minnesota and when he was in Cleveland powerful lead backs

99
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, Dalvin Cook in those offenses.

100
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's a it's kind of a great thing.

101
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: You like to see that he spent I mean, I

102
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: think his his most recent job was a quarterbacks coach

103
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 3: in Cleveland, So I mean you kind of get the

104
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 3: sense that hopefully he learned something from what's his flank,

105
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 3: the fancy Yeah, and hopefully he can kind of bring

106
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 3: that scheme over to Arizona. I mean, it's it's a

107
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: new coaching staff than we've seen. I mean, obviously James

108
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 3: Connor was with Kingsbury for a while, so we'll see

109
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: how the this new offense will look. But it's like

110
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: I said, we're gonna take.

111
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: This was a deeper this was a deeper depth chart

112
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: in Arizona. Yes, I'd be more worried about James Connor,

113
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: but I'm not. Kante Ingram and Corey Clement and Tyson

114
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: Williams not factors.

115
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 3: Not worried about those, And it's not like you're even

116
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 3: drafting him anywhere close to his ceiling. He's going as

117
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: an RB three right now, RB twenty seven, Like, that's

118
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: an R three.

119
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: This guy's a Guillotine League gold mine. Oh, by the way,

120
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: Guillotine League's open at Gayotine leagues dot com. It's official

121
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: right now. This is exactly the kind of guy that

122
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: you want because James Connor just gives you a safe

123
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: floor every week. And of course in the Guillotine League,

124
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: all we're trying to do is not finish last, so

125
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: you want that's such a great spot for James Connor,

126
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: and especially if in Guillotine Leagues he continues going at

127
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: his average draft position of RB twenty seven, that's a

128
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: gift in that format. In particular, let's talk about Kyler

129
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: Murray because Murray obviously siphons off a lot of running,

130
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: but he's also a better passer. This team's gonna start

131
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy in all probability for some part of the season.

132
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: What do you think the Kyler Murray factor is and

133
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: how does it affect James Connor well when.

134
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: He's there, I like, at least for the season, especially

135
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 3: how much is he gonna run? Like, is he really

136
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 3: gonna trust that knee again kind of coming out of

137
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 3: Like I mean, I don't know when we're going to

138
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 3: see him. I'd say maybe like midway through the season.

139
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 3: I saw something on Twitter though, was like Joe Burrow

140
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 3: tores ACL started the next the season like week one

141
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 3: RG three.

142
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I mean, like I think RG three shouldn't

143
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: have but.

144
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, he definitely shouldn't. He said that too, like he

145
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 3: tweeted that out. But I mean, I don't know, but

146
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 3: I feel like they're not gonna run as much like

147
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: I think. I mean, especially when Joe Burrow came back

148
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 3: from that season, Yeah, later he run at all. And

149
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 3: now last year he looks like, I don't know, it

150
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: looks like he can, looks like Danny Dimes can move

151
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: a little bit.

152
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: So Murray when even when Murray comes back, he doesn't

153
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: run much because it's he's off of fresh ACL. And

154
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: here's the thing about Murray that I think is widely

155
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: under misunderstood by the fantasy community at large. Dude's never

156
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: been a goal line runner. They don't run him inside

157
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: the five, and that's just not his bit. He's not

158
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, he's not Josh Allen. They don't use him

159
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: that way, his rushing touchdowns come from distance unless except

160
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: for a handful of games like James Connor hasn't been

161
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: there and then out of necessity they've run a couple

162
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: of times. But Condler Murray is he could be sitting

163
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: on like a two rushing touchdown season. I don't think

164
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: Murray takes really anything away from James Connor.

165
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: You're You're totally right. I've had Kyler Murray on Dynasty's

166
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 3: in the past couple of years. So when I'm watching

167
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 3: red zone and it's at the one yard line and

168
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray's under center, I'm like, they're not gonna sneak

169
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: this because he's he's five nine, rightee, No sneak this.

170
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: You know what they do? They give the James Connor,

171
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 3: or at least under the Kingsbury offense, it'd be like

172
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 3: one yard line shotgun James Connor offset, which is a horrible.

173
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: Playing design, by the way, shot like this shotgun. The

174
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: one is so stupid.

175
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: You don't like the threat of the past.

176
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: The one.

177
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 3: I get a Kirk Cousins back there, for sure. That's

178
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 3: more fantasy points.

179
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: Everybody thinks of James Connor and you think of injury

180
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the very first things that

181
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: come to mind, not just the cancer, but it feels

182
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: like he's a guy who has missed a lot of time.

183
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: But I think that's largely a misconception.

184
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had thirteen games played in twenty twenty, I mean,

185
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 3: not bad for a running back, and yeah he missed

186
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 3: a couple, but not bad thirteen games in twenty twenty one,

187
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: and he had fifteen games played last season, and he's

188
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 3: only getting older from maybe the like it's maybe it's

189
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: one of those things where like the McCaffrey, it's everyone

190
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: thought always injury prone, Saquon always injury prone. James Connor

191
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 3: kind of was the same way, where he's injury prone

192
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: for two seasons, but he's played the better half of

193
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 3: three seasons here in a row. So I mean, we'll see.

194
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: James Connors not particularly good. He's not a special runner.

195
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: His PFF ranking was forty eighth. He's not even the

196
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: highest ranked Connor by Pro Football Focus. Snoop Connor had

197
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: a higher PFF rating than James Connor did.

198
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: Well, let's factor in some attempts for that though, Connor

199
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 3: get like three carries, not.

200
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: As many as i'd have given him. I'll tell you

201
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: that much. He ranked twenty fifth in efficiency by Next

202
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: Gen Stats, and he ranked thirty first in rushing yards

203
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: over expectation by Next Gen Stats. James Condors not special,

204
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: but this is all about opportunity and it's all about

205
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: how you get used, including inside the five, which we've

206
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: alluded to in two years with Arizona. These are Kingsbury offenses.

207
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: Still twenty seven rushes from inside the five. We always

208
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: talk about on carries inside the five. Your great goal linebacks,

209
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: you're Ezekiel Elliott's, you're Derrick Henry's. They convert half of

210
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: their carries inside the five to touchdowns on twenty seven

211
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: rushes from inside the five, James Connor fourteen touchdowns.

212
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 3: There you go.

213
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: That's above at is one more than fifty n me up, yep.

214
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: So we're fans of where we you know, we're we're

215
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: fans of where James Connor is going in ADP. Let's

216
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: talk it through who's going around him, because I think

217
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: we're gonna like James Connor better than a lot of

218
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: these guys.

219
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: First one we got is Rashad White at RB twenty five.

220
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: Tampa could have the worst offense in the NFL, maybe

221
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: even worse than the Cardinals.

222
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 3: It's possible he could. He could kind of be like

223
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 3: a smaller version of James Connor though, where he has

224
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 3: a receiving upside. He flies some power last year in London.

225
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: So I think i'd go I'd go white for the PPR.

226
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 3: Yeah that's fair. Uh, this is tough. I'll go white.

227
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 3: I like his college mixtape. Alexander Madison RB twenty six.

228
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: There's still way too much weird stuff happening with the Vikings,

229
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: including the very real threat that Dalvin Cook's gonna stay

230
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: a Viking.

231
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it went from he's cut and he's gonna go

232
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 3: somewhere else to now like he's gonna take a pa

233
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 3: Cup because he can't get any more money.

234
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna pay him anything. So yeah, I think he's

235
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: I think Dalvin Cook's people have started to realize there's

236
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: no market and if the Vikings cut him, he's gonna

237
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: get X amount of dollars as a cut player, which

238
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: isn't very much, and he's better off just sticking. So

239
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm out on Madison next.

240
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 3: David Montgomery RB twenty eight. Guy we loves talking about

241
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: a micro a couple of weeks back.

242
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did, but he's in a split backfield. James

243
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: Conner owns this backfield. I'm taking James Conner over David Montgomery.

244
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go David Montgomery because I think the offense

245
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 3: cancels it out for me where that could be. I

246
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: think I think it outweighs the opportunity and the I

247
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: think the offense could better. He's gonna have more touches, Okay,

248
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: Javonte Williams RB twenty nine some like he's actually at

249
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 3: OTA's running routes. I know it's really nothing. But when

250
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 3: Sean Payton said he's having to go on the pub

251
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 3: for training camp, like what's going on here? You have

252
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: one of the words and the injuries of like, I know.

253
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm nervous this thing. It's I'm nervous. It feels like JK.

254
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: Dobbins last year.

255
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

256
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: Remember Dobbins was doing all this work through the summer

257
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: and everything, and he participated in training camp and like, oh,

258
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: he's better. Sometimes it's not. You don't want to be

259
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: the first guy.

260
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 3: Yeah. Schefter was like he won't be back for week

261
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 3: one and then Dobbin's like, yes, I will. He wasn't.

262
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: That's right, exactly exactly, all right.

263
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 3: Last one we got James Cook at RB thirty.

264
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm taking James Conner. Yeah, I'll take the number.

265
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: I'll take the lead, you know, the lead back.

266
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 3: I will not have any James Cook this year.

267
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. There's a lot of momentum for James Cook out there,

268
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: and you and I are about the only naysayers out there.

269
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 3: I don't know why there is. I mean, we talked

270
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: about him and he had nice efficiency stats.

271
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: But no, look, it's not that he's not a good player.

272
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: It's yeah, it's just the offense that he's in, right,

273
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 3: He's not even like the third rushing option. It's it

274
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 3: goes probably Damien Harris, Josh Allen, then James Cook.

275
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: That may very well be true. Thank you for listening

276
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: to this edition of Fantasy for Micro Edition. We've got

277
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,360

278
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: edition coming up on Friday. Talk to you soon, everybody.

279
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: Bye bye,
