<v Speaker 1>I am Paul Charchi and co host his usual Tyler Cannabily.

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:33.040
<v Speaker 1>On Twitter at no, I changed my Twitter name. Oh

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 1>you're dead?

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:33.599
<v Speaker 3>I did.

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I demande. It's something easy.

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 3>It's something easier now.

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 1>But I've gotten so good at singing the kN A B.

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Well now it's you can still look that up.

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm pretty sure you still find me. It's a PPR

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:46.560
<v Speaker 3>Tyler now just pp R Tyler. I can't believe that

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:48.520
<v Speaker 3>name was still that PPR Tyler. I like it.

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 1>It winks per.

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.240
<v Speaker 3>It's really come into my fantasy points per rash, my

0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 3>career fantasy.

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>That's uh. I like that points per rash. Let's let's

0:00:57.920 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>run that.

0:00:59.160 --> 0:00:59.279
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Today, we're gonna break down James Connor.

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 3>He just won't go away. The player won't go He

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:08.840
<v Speaker 3>wants a couple I thought when he went to the

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:10.959
<v Speaker 3>cards like he's done after this year, We're not gonna

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 3>talk about anymore, right, And he's not. Only are we

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:16.399
<v Speaker 3>still talking about him, he's still producing, still producing. He

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 3>was the RB nineteen last season, he was the RB

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 3>ten and average points per game and he's going off

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 3>the board is RB twenty seven the exact same story.

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 3>It was like.

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Nobody wants him.

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, he's not.

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 1>A highlight guy.

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 3>He's just a grinder, right yeah, And the definition of

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 3>a grinder he is.

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.039
<v Speaker 1>And so you know, you don't get these explosive plays,

0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>you don't get red zone alerts, you know, you just

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>he's just a guy in a bad offense. And yet

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day.

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.839
<v Speaker 3>He gets it done. He does. I mean, after Kyler

0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 3>got hurt last season, he I mean, he just did

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 3>what he did this season before. It was one hundred

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 3>and forty against New England. And these are all good

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 3>like running defenses for the most part.

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 1>After Kyler got hurt. So this is like the final

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>whatever six seven games this season.

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 3>Against New England. One hundred fourteen yards in the touchdown

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 3>against Denver, one hundred two yards in a touchdown against

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 3>Tampa Bay, one hundred and twenty yards in the touchdown,

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 3>and then against Atlanta one hundred and twenty eight yards

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 3>no touchdown, But he was the RB four in that span.

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Wow, all right, James Connor, this guy quietly powering teams.

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Him and Jerick McKinnon powering teams through the fantasy playoffs.

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 3>Another stat I like too, He hasn't caught less than

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 3>thirty four passes since his rookie season where he had

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 3>a zero and he had like two games.

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we don't think of him as a PPR helper,

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>but he is.

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.959
<v Speaker 3>But he is. And who's gonna take touches away from Connor?

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 3>Like you think you thought, maybe, oh, Cardinal's gonna draft

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.240
<v Speaker 3>a running back maybe like round three, round four, Like

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 3>they're definitely a candidate to do so. And right now,

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 3>here's the depth chart. Keyonta Ingram no threat, Corey Clement

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 3>no threat, and Tyson Williams who got cut when he

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:49.519
<v Speaker 3>was like the one, JK. Dobbins and Gus Edward J

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 3>c Elsa.

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>You remember that.

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what a time.

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.639
<v Speaker 1>So that guy's not going to be a factor. All right,

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>So it's James Connor's job. We know they're going to

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:02.399
<v Speaker 1>use him prodigiously in Arizona. It's a bad team. They're

0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>going to be losing a lot of games, so we'll

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.639
<v Speaker 1>have to be worried a little bit about it's halftime

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.639
<v Speaker 1>and they're down by seventeen, So are the Cardinals going

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>to be running a lot in the second half of games?

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 1>But at the end of the day, we care a

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>lot about opportunity, and He's and James Connor's gonna run

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:17.919
<v Speaker 1>the ball a lot.

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and they might not even if they're down like

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 3>twenty at half time. He might still be on the

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 3>field just catching more passes. Anyway. If he's on the field,

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's first down, they're gonna throw, oh both

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 3>swing pass at the James Connor for three yards. Yeah.

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.000
<v Speaker 1>In such a deep running back draft, I really thought

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals would put a fourth rounder fifth runner. Now,

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 1>they had need everywhere, so I get it, But I

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 1>would have thought they'd have put a mid rounder on

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>the running back position and got themselves a little more help. Instead,

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 1>they didn't go that way. I love the fact that

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>they did put a first rounder into the offensive line. Finally,

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>addressing offensive line, they have a whole new coaching staff,

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 1>including a new offensive coordinator, Drew Petzig, who had some

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>time here in Minnesota but also with Cleveland. Then with

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>those two offenses had in especially when he was in

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota and when he was in Cleveland powerful lead backs

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Nick Chubb, Dalvin Cook in those offenses.

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean it's a it's kind of a great thing.

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 3>You like to see that he spent I mean, I

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 3>think his his most recent job was a quarterbacks coach

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 3>in Cleveland, So I mean you kind of get the

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 3>sense that hopefully he learned something from what's his flank,

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:26.679
<v Speaker 3>the fancy Yeah, and hopefully he can kind of bring

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.359
<v Speaker 3>that scheme over to Arizona. I mean, it's it's a

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 3>new coaching staff than we've seen. I mean, obviously James

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 3>Connor was with Kingsbury for a while, so we'll see

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 3>how the this new offense will look. But it's like

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 3>I said, we're gonna take.

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 1>This was a deeper this was a deeper depth chart

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>in Arizona. Yes, I'd be more worried about James Connor,

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not. Kante Ingram and Corey Clement and Tyson

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Williams not factors.

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.280
<v Speaker 3>Not worried about those, And it's not like you're even

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 3>drafting him anywhere close to his ceiling. He's going as

0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 3>an RB three right now, RB twenty seven, Like, that's

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 3>an R three.

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.840
<v Speaker 1>This guy's a Guillotine League gold mine. Oh, by the way,

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Guillotine League's open at Gayotine leagues dot com. It's official

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.280
<v Speaker 1>right now. This is exactly the kind of guy that

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.159
<v Speaker 1>you want because James Connor just gives you a safe

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.839
<v Speaker 1>floor every week. And of course in the Guillotine League,

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.039
<v Speaker 1>all we're trying to do is not finish last, so

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 1>you want that's such a great spot for James Connor,

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>and especially if in Guillotine Leagues he continues going at

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.919
<v Speaker 1>his average draft position of RB twenty seven, that's a

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 1>gift in that format. In particular, let's talk about Kyler

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Murray because Murray obviously siphons off a lot of running,

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 1>but he's also a better passer. This team's gonna start

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.279
<v Speaker 1>Colt McCoy in all probability for some part of the season.

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>What do you think the Kyler Murray factor is and

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 1>how does it affect James Connor well when.

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 3>He's there, I like, at least for the season, especially

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.160
<v Speaker 3>how much is he gonna run? Like, is he really

0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 3>gonna trust that knee again kind of coming out of

0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:52.840
<v Speaker 3>Like I mean, I don't know when we're going to

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.600
<v Speaker 3>see him. I'd say maybe like midway through the season.

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.239
<v Speaker 3>I saw something on Twitter though, was like Joe Burrow

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 3>tores ACL started the next the season like week one

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:02.360
<v Speaker 3>RG three.

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I mean, like I think RG three shouldn't

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:06.040
<v Speaker 1>have but.

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he definitely shouldn't. He said that too, like he

0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 3>tweeted that out. But I mean, I don't know, but

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 3>I feel like they're not gonna run as much like

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:14.800
<v Speaker 3>I think. I mean, especially when Joe Burrow came back

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 3>from that season, Yeah, later he run at all. And

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.440
<v Speaker 3>now last year he looks like, I don't know, it

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 3>looks like he can, looks like Danny Dimes can move

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:22.080
<v Speaker 3>a little bit.

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.919
<v Speaker 1>So Murray when even when Murray comes back, he doesn't

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 1>run much because it's he's off of fresh ACL. And

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing about Murray that I think is widely

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 1>under misunderstood by the fantasy community at large. Dude's never

0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 1>been a goal line runner. They don't run him inside

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 1>the five, and that's just not his bit. He's not

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurts, he's not Josh Allen. They don't use him

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:48.960
<v Speaker 1>that way, his rushing touchdowns come from distance unless except

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:50.920
<v Speaker 1>for a handful of games like James Connor hasn't been

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 1>there and then out of necessity they've run a couple

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 1>of times. But Condler Murray is he could be sitting

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.160
<v Speaker 1>on like a two rushing touchdown season. I don't think

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Murray takes really anything away from James Connor.

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 3>You're You're totally right. I've had Kyler Murray on Dynasty's

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 3>in the past couple of years. So when I'm watching

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.839
<v Speaker 3>red zone and it's at the one yard line and

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 3>Kyler Murray's under center, I'm like, they're not gonna sneak

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 3>this because he's he's five nine, rightee, No sneak this.

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:16.680
<v Speaker 3>You know what they do? They give the James Connor,

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 3>or at least under the Kingsbury offense, it'd be like

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 3>one yard line shotgun James Connor offset, which is a horrible.

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Playing design, by the way, shot like this shotgun. The

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 1>one is so stupid.

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 3>You don't like the threat of the past.

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>The one.

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 3>I get a Kirk Cousins back there, for sure. That's

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 3>more fantasy points.

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Everybody thinks of James Connor and you think of injury

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I think that's one of the very first things that

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 1>come to mind, not just the cancer, but it feels

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 1>like he's a guy who has missed a lot of time.

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 1>But I think that's largely a misconception.

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he had thirteen games played in twenty twenty, I mean,

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 3>not bad for a running back, and yeah he missed

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 3>a couple, but not bad thirteen games in twenty twenty one,

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.560
<v Speaker 3>and he had fifteen games played last season, and he's

0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.400
<v Speaker 3>only getting older from maybe the like it's maybe it's

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 3>one of those things where like the McCaffrey, it's everyone

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 3>thought always injury prone, Saquon always injury prone. James Connor

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.480
<v Speaker 3>kind of was the same way, where he's injury prone

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 3>for two seasons, but he's played the better half of

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 3>three seasons here in a row. So I mean, we'll see.

0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:18.080
<v Speaker 1>James Connors not particularly good. He's not a special runner.

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 1>His PFF ranking was forty eighth. He's not even the

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>highest ranked Connor by Pro Football Focus. Snoop Connor had

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 1>a higher PFF rating than James Connor did.

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, let's factor in some attempts for that though, Connor

0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:34.320
<v Speaker 3>get like three carries, not.

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 1>As many as i'd have given him. I'll tell you

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 1>that much. He ranked twenty fifth in efficiency by Next

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Gen Stats, and he ranked thirty first in rushing yards

0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.720
<v Speaker 1>over expectation by Next Gen Stats. James Condors not special,

0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:46.680
<v Speaker 1>but this is all about opportunity and it's all about

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>how you get used, including inside the five, which we've

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 1>alluded to in two years with Arizona. These are Kingsbury offenses.

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Still twenty seven rushes from inside the five. We always

0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.679
<v Speaker 1>talk about on carries inside the five. Your great goal linebacks,

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 1>you're Ezekiel Elliott's, you're Derrick Henry's. They convert half of

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:09.840
<v Speaker 1>their carries inside the five to touchdowns on twenty seven

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 1>rushes from inside the five, James Connor fourteen touchdowns.

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 3>There you go.

0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:18.200
<v Speaker 1>That's above at is one more than fifty n me up, yep.

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:22.199
<v Speaker 1>So we're fans of where we you know, we're we're

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:26.200
<v Speaker 1>fans of where James Connor is going in ADP. Let's

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:27.920
<v Speaker 1>talk it through who's going around him, because I think

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:29.559
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna like James Connor better than a lot of

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:30.080
<v Speaker 1>these guys.

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 3>First one we got is Rashad White at RB twenty five.

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Tampa could have the worst offense in the NFL, maybe

0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:37.959
<v Speaker 1>even worse than the Cardinals.

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 3>It's possible he could. He could kind of be like

0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.320
<v Speaker 3>a smaller version of James Connor though, where he has

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:47.080
<v Speaker 3>a receiving upside. He flies some power last year in London.

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.679
<v Speaker 1>So I think i'd go I'd go white for the PPR.

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah that's fair. Uh, this is tough. I'll go white.

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.680
<v Speaker 3>I like his college mixtape. Alexander Madison RB twenty six.

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 1>There's still way too much weird stuff happening with the Vikings,

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.440
<v Speaker 1>including the very real threat that Dalvin Cook's gonna stay

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 1>a Viking.

0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it went from he's cut and he's gonna go

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.079
<v Speaker 3>somewhere else to now like he's gonna take a pa

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 3>Cup because he can't get any more money.

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Nobody's gonna pay him anything. So yeah, I think he's

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I think Dalvin Cook's people have started to realize there's

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.280
<v Speaker 1>no market and if the Vikings cut him, he's gonna

0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:24.199
<v Speaker 1>get X amount of dollars as a cut player, which

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.520
<v Speaker 1>isn't very much, and he's better off just sticking. So

0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm out on Madison next.

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:33.200
<v Speaker 3>David Montgomery RB twenty eight. Guy we loves talking about

0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 3>a micro a couple of weeks back.

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we did, but he's in a split backfield. James

0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Conner owns this backfield. I'm taking James Conner over David Montgomery.

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna go David Montgomery because I think the offense

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:44.440
<v Speaker 3>cancels it out for me where that could be. I

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 3>think I think it outweighs the opportunity and the I

0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 3>think the offense could better. He's gonna have more touches, Okay,

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 3>Javonte Williams RB twenty nine some like he's actually at

0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 3>OTA's running routes. I know it's really nothing. But when

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.920
<v Speaker 3>Sean Payton said he's having to go on the pub

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.199
<v Speaker 3>for training camp, like what's going on here? You have

0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.240
<v Speaker 3>one of the words and the injuries of like, I know.

0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm nervous this thing. It's I'm nervous. It feels like JK.

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Dobbins last year.

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Remember Dobbins was doing all this work through the summer

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>and everything, and he participated in training camp and like, oh,

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.760
<v Speaker 1>he's better. Sometimes it's not. You don't want to be

0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 1>the first guy.

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Schefter was like he won't be back for week

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:26.960
<v Speaker 3>one and then Dobbin's like, yes, I will. He wasn't.

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 1>That's right, exactly exactly, all right.

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.320
<v Speaker 3>Last one we got James Cook at RB thirty.

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm taking James Conner. Yeah, I'll take the number.

0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:37.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll take the lead, you know, the lead back.

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:39.319
<v Speaker 3>I will not have any James Cook this year.

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. There's a lot of momentum for James Cook out there,

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.320
<v Speaker 1>and you and I are about the only naysayers out there.

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:45.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why there is. I mean, we talked

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 3>about him and he had nice efficiency stats.

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.600
<v Speaker 1>But no, look, it's not that he's not a good player.

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 3>It's yeah, it's just the offense that he's in, right,

0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 3>He's not even like the third rushing option. It's it

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 3>goes probably Damien Harris, Josh Allen, then James Cook.

0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.920
<v Speaker 1>That may very well be true. Thank you for listening

0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 1>to this edition of Fantasy for Micro Edition. We've got

0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:03.360
