Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from my Heart Radio,
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and
Speaker 1: advice League dot Com. Here's your host. Welcome to another
Speaker 1: edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. We are in the heart
Speaker 1: of draft season, getting you ready to dominate your draft,
Speaker 1: your auction, however you like to play. We're here to
Speaker 1: support you, and by we, I mean myself, Paul Charchy
Speaker 1: and my co host today are Scott Fish and Brian Johnson. Hello, guys,
Speaker 1: what's going on? What boys? Nice to talk to you.
Speaker 1: We begin each show by taking a tour around the
Speaker 1: training camps and letting people know what's happening with each
Speaker 1: of the thirty two teams. But we will also tell
Speaker 1: you a lot of other things of the course of
Speaker 1: the show, including what are every team's tendencies inside the
Speaker 1: five yard line? And why you should care and you
Speaker 1: should We'll play our usual three tough questions. We've got
Speaker 1: our blacklist guys that we will not draft, Guys we
Speaker 1: never end up with. Guys we don't like that are
Speaker 1: household names that are potentially sitting on your roster, and
Speaker 1: we'll make our case for why we won't draft these guys.
Speaker 1: We'll also talk about the traits of a running back bust,
Speaker 1: and we will unveil our sleepers. Lots of stuff to
Speaker 1: get to over the remaining better part of two hours
Speaker 1: this very media show. It's gonna be fun. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. Let's start with our training
Speaker 1: camp information for me each of the teams in the league,
Speaker 1: beginning with the Carolina Panthers. Brian, not a lot of
Speaker 1: major news coming out of Carolina. I'm not gonna talk
Speaker 1: about Dan Arnold, believe it or not. Either. Robbie and
Speaker 1: Anderson did sign a two year, twenty nine point five
Speaker 1: million dollar contract extension. People were writing off Robbie Anderson
Speaker 1: based on terrorist Fish's boy Terris Marshall's strong camp. But
Speaker 1: Robbie's not going anywhere a little, a little undervalued in
Speaker 1: drafts right now. I think that's I think that's accurate. Scott.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Las Vegas Raiders. Yeah. So Waller,
Speaker 1: after missing Darren Waller, after missing a ton of prexes,
Speaker 1: like nine or ten in a row, he is back.
Speaker 1: He's making plays. You can stuff those worries in a sack.
Speaker 1: He's all fine. But also Brian Edwards appears to be
Speaker 1: cars go to among the wide receivers. So maybe for
Speaker 1: a late round in a deep, deep draft. Yeah, um
Speaker 1: My Sack was never worried about about Waller, Just to
Speaker 1: be just to be clear about that, I think that's
Speaker 1: an old George Costanza thing, right, stuff him in a stack?
Speaker 1: Maybe that is, I don't know. Uh, let's go to
Speaker 1: the Packers. A J. Dillon look good in the preseason
Speaker 1: and is expected to see a wildly expanded role this year. Interestingly,
Speaker 1: he was targeted three times in last Weekend's preseason game.
Speaker 1: He was only targeted three times all last year, and
Speaker 1: so it maybe that he's gonna be a little more
Speaker 1: of a pass catching threat than he was allowed to
Speaker 1: be last year. And a lot of times it takes
Speaker 1: a little bit of faith in the coaching staff from
Speaker 1: the coaching staff in order for a player to get
Speaker 1: passes thrown to them to be allowed to be on
Speaker 1: the field for pass blocking duties, and maybe a A J.
Speaker 1: Dillon is expanding into that role. Let's go over to
Speaker 1: the Washington football team. Brian Curtis Samuel has basically missed
Speaker 1: all of camp. He's been hampered by a growing issue
Speaker 1: in COVID. But Ron Rivera says, uh, he's pretty optimistic
Speaker 1: that Samuel returns quote unquote sometime next week. Sounds real promising.
Speaker 1: I don't know. So Samuel's running out of time to
Speaker 1: get ready for the season. So yeah, new team too now. Granted,
Speaker 1: old system, he knows the system and the terminology and
Speaker 1: everything else. But still and also real quick out of Washington.
Speaker 1: Stu Beard not officially named the week one starter yet.
Speaker 1: Church that's up, sir. How's your sack feeling about that one?
Speaker 1: I have sad sack. Alright, let's go to the Let's
Speaker 1: go to the Buffalo Bills. Uh. So in the Singletary
Speaker 1: versus Zack Moss, lovely battle that we love. Uh. Singletary
Speaker 1: started and played eighteen of the first twenty snaps but
Speaker 1: only touched the ball three times, and then Zack Moss
Speaker 1: came in for the next twenty or so and touch
Speaker 1: the ball four times. So man, it's really tough to
Speaker 1: love this. Might it might be a lose lose, which
Speaker 1: should be disappointing for the Texans. Media reports say that
Speaker 1: they will keep Deshaun Watson on their fifty three man roster.
Speaker 1: He's working with the third and fourth team in practice,
Speaker 1: which indicates the team does not likely plan to use him.
Speaker 1: They can't release Watson, they can't I R Watson, So
Speaker 1: they're kind of in a jam here, and they'll almost
Speaker 1: certainly try to put him on the Commissioner's exemption list,
Speaker 1: but I don't think he can by the but because
Speaker 1: we can go in yes, and so it sounds like
Speaker 1: he's not eligible for it, and so hughs it might
Speaker 1: be a jam. They might have to waste one of
Speaker 1: their precious fifty three man roster spots on Deshaun Watson
Speaker 1: and maybe hopefully ultimately trade him. Let's go to the
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kind of a quiet camp for the
Speaker 1: defending champs as well the starters. The big names have
Speaker 1: combined to play the six offensive snaps so far this preseason.
Speaker 1: But all the household names for Tampa Bay should a
Speaker 1: full half on Saturday night, so we'll get to see,
Speaker 1: uh how rusty they are. But it seems like they're
Speaker 1: if it's been partying this whole time since well, I
Speaker 1: don't know, but we'll see him on Saturday night, all right.
Speaker 1: Scott uh Cleveland Browns Cleveland Brown's, uh, Donovan People's Jones
Speaker 1: working with the first team, maybe a late round guy.
Speaker 1: But I think the only thing I want to note
Speaker 1: here is this is the first year Baker Mayfield is
Speaker 1: gonna have the same coach and coordinators in back to
Speaker 1: back seasons. So and last year he had his best
Speaker 1: touchdown interception ratio. You know, you gotta imagine it improves.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe there's upset. I'm so glad you brought him up,
Speaker 1: because he's going off the board is roughly quarterback like
Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen. If you take out those monsoon cold weather
Speaker 1: you know, like late October early November quasi blizzard condition stuff.
Speaker 1: He's actually really consistent fantasy producer. And I think Kevin
Speaker 1: Stefanski's goal last year was to just build confidence in
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, not ask him to do too much. Lean
Speaker 1: heavily I'm running game. I think Stefancy's gonna loosen up
Speaker 1: the reins a bit here. Odell Beckham returns. There's some
Speaker 1: real tangible upside in bas. Let's go to the Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz returned to practice and looks increasingly like he
Speaker 1: will be the team's Week one starter. He's already practicing
Speaker 1: with the first team and kicker Rodrigo blanket Chip won
Speaker 1: the kicking job over Eddie Pinero, although I think Paniere
Speaker 1: may surface somewhere else. He was actually really good too.
Speaker 1: Uh So right now, signs pointing up on on Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz in this offense. Next up the Detroit Lions. That
Speaker 1: was way too much kicker talk for this show, just
Speaker 1: that one. If I'm gonna bring up more head coach
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell. Dan Campbell very concerned about DeAndre Swift's availability
Speaker 1: for Week one against the forty Niners. Swift has missed
Speaker 1: a lot of time this month nursing a groin issue.
Speaker 1: Uh So, fire up here, Jamal Williams shares and keeping
Speaker 1: on Jermar Jefferson to rookie running back for Detroit and shocker.
Speaker 1: Also a groin issue for Tyrrelle Williams already, but he's
Speaker 1: expected back next week. But he'll he's ex acted to
Speaker 1: be out again the following week. I'm sure you're just
Speaker 1: projecting Tim to be out then. Alright, Scott, let's head
Speaker 1: over to the New York Jets. All right, So Michael
Speaker 1: Carter right now, who we we seem to like on
Speaker 1: this show, is currently listed as the third running back
Speaker 1: on the depth chart, and he came in the game
Speaker 1: as the fourth running back way deep in the game
Speaker 1: in the second half, even after Michael p Ryan, Uh Coleman,
Speaker 1: and ty Jansen Johnson appeared to be the starters. Beat
Speaker 1: reporters have stated they believe it's going to be a
Speaker 1: three headed monster this season. It's not. We might start
Speaker 1: that way, yes, but it's not going to end that way. Yes,
Speaker 1: we fantasy analysts all assumed that Carter is going to emerge,
Speaker 1: but I mean, we've seen these time shares linger far
Speaker 1: longer than they shed in Kansas City. I know I'm
Speaker 1: the only guy in the universe talking about Byron Pringle,
Speaker 1: and I won't give me the opportunity to talk about
Speaker 1: Byron Pringle, and I'll bend your ear for a long time.
Speaker 1: He's looked good, including leading the Chiefs and receptions in
Speaker 1: the last preseason game. He's also been a camp stand
Speaker 1: out at various times. Somebody he's gonna walk into the
Speaker 1: starting job left behind by Sammy Watkins, I think. And
Speaker 1: Mikole Hardman has already been roster. If you've already had
Speaker 1: you draft, Micle Hardman's already been roster. And maybe it's
Speaker 1: gonna be him, or maybe Nicole Hardman just does exactly
Speaker 1: what he's been doing, and Byron Pringle wins that number
Speaker 1: two job. Consider picking him up or drafting him with
Speaker 1: the last the last pick, especially if he takes over
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins week one role. Well, yeah, exactly, you can
Speaker 1: start him for one week. Byron Pringle, let's head next
Speaker 1: to the Seahawks reports out of Seahawks camp or that
Speaker 1: tight end Gerald Everett is becoming a favorite target of
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, and Wilson has kind of always leaned on
Speaker 1: his tight ends, but it's kind of been a revolving
Speaker 1: door of players. He's never had a guy at tight end,
Speaker 1: and that might be Gerald Everett, who right now is
Speaker 1: going off the board roughly as tight endive. He's essentially
Speaker 1: free a lot of a lot of tight ends out
Speaker 1: there this season. Scott, I think I know what you're
Speaker 1: gonna say about the Denver Broncos. Uh, we've got the
Speaker 1: wrong quarterback. Yeah, yeah, Teddy is the starter right for duty,
Speaker 1: less so for Sutton, but Sutton still seems hurt and
Speaker 1: a little bit hesitant in camp. Um Gordon's also alien
Speaker 1: fantas alien. But everybody should be ready for Week one.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's Teddy. It's Teddy. One touchdown passed
Speaker 1: a game across his career. One. Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1: The coaching staff said Locke had improved greatly, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: improved so much that he's not quite as good as
Speaker 1: Teddy Bradgewater. That's how you feel about an improved Drew Lock.
Speaker 1: Why didn't the Broncos draft justin phasis? If Teddy wins
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, guaranteed he gets a Hollywood biopic picture
Speaker 1: about right, Probably the Rams. Sean McVeigh clarified that Darrell
Speaker 1: Henderson remains the lead back, even after acquiring Sony Michelle
Speaker 1: so shortly after Camp Acres injury. McVeigh did say that
Speaker 1: he he had to be cautious about Henderson's usage, and
Speaker 1: I think this move reflects that. Let's head to the
Speaker 1: Eagles next. Quaes Watkins wide receiver running with the first
Speaker 1: team offense as the slot receiver. Have a s folgum
Speaker 1: was everyone's you know, he was the hot pickup last year,
Speaker 1: but he's essentially on the bubble. But Quaes Watkins fantasy relevant.
Speaker 1: He is fantasy relevant. I added him to the the
Speaker 1: Gaillotine League cheat sheet, and there's hways Watkins on Radars
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins Scott. Yeah, so Gascon is getting a ton
Speaker 1: of work, including receiving work. He only played nineteen snaps
Speaker 1: all with the first team in the last preseason game,
Speaker 1: ten touches, seventy one yards, four catches, two touchdowns. He
Speaker 1: was all over everything. Uh. And it also sounds like
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle has a great connection with two will impact
Speaker 1: right away. He's been the only healthy receiver though, so
Speaker 1: people concerned with the platoon there in Miami, they're out
Speaker 1: of their minds. It's all gas for the Vikings. Adam
Speaker 1: Heland's got this thigh injury that happened early in the
Speaker 1: second preseason game. It's kept him out of the third
Speaker 1: preseason game, and it's not a given he's going to
Speaker 1: be available for Week one. So just keep this on
Speaker 1: your radar that you need to watch this the deep
Speaker 1: thigh brews. We've seen guys get sidelined for months on
Speaker 1: this injury, and you know, the Vikings have no obligation
Speaker 1: to disclose anything about the severity of it, so we
Speaker 1: don't know for sure, so hopefully it's nothing, but just
Speaker 1: keep an eye on Adam feeling and the status of
Speaker 1: his injury. Next up the Cowboys, Dak Prescott supposedly a
Speaker 1: full go with the ankle and the shoulder issues, are
Speaker 1: gonna take the kiddy gloves off at DAC. I'm still
Speaker 1: a little concerned about Prescott. We'll talk about him a
Speaker 1: little more later in the show. Sounds good, Scott. How
Speaker 1: about New England? There's so many things here. We've got
Speaker 1: the palindrome QB battle, the Mac versus Cam MCVI CAM. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I never thought about that. Yeah, neither and I until
Speaker 1: this last week, I realized that they were backwards of
Speaker 1: each other. But yeah, mc v cam. Uh, seems like
Speaker 1: Mac has started to take the lead, especially after five
Speaker 1: days of h CAM Newton missing practices. Bell Belichick didn't
Speaker 1: deny a platoon at quarterback, maybe like a Winston taste
Speaker 1: kind of deal, which will be gross for everybody. Um,
Speaker 1: but my main thing is the Michelle Tree opens up
Speaker 1: the door for uh Ron j. Stevenson taking the second
Speaker 1: snaps after, you know, after Harris, Yeah it could. Stevenson's
Speaker 1: look good. Let's go to the Saints. Jamis Winston has
Speaker 1: officially moved ahead of Taysom Hill and he is expected
Speaker 1: to be your starter. Winston's a dramatically better passer, and
Speaker 1: this is good news for fantasy owners for sure. Last
Speaker 1: weekend's connection with Marquez Callaway looked very promising. Callaway looks
Speaker 1: like the starter currently unclear of Tray Kwon Smith's undisclosed
Speaker 1: injury will allow him to play in the opener. And
Speaker 1: then also we're monitoring Adam Troutman's foot injury that is
Speaker 1: that is I think more likely to keep him out.
Speaker 1: So there's still a lot of moving parts here, but
Speaker 1: they got the right guy. Unlike the Broncos, they got
Speaker 1: the right guy as the starter in New Orleans. Next
Speaker 1: up the Giants. Yeah, Dave Gedtleman's House of horrors. Kenny
Speaker 1: golladay hamstring issue went down days ago, roughly five days ago.
Speaker 1: That's beyond his two to three week timetable. Many hamstrings
Speaker 1: not looking likely that he's gonna be a full go
Speaker 1: for week one. So yeah, Kenny Golladay fallen down. Draftwards
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd going way too cheap. The one Giant I
Speaker 1: pretty much trust this year based on ADP Sterling Shepherd.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Titans next. Not much here, mostly
Speaker 1: just that Julio and A. J. Brown have been you know,
Speaker 1: banged up, but they should be ready to go for
Speaker 1: the season. Julio banged up no Steelers Rookie tight end
Speaker 1: Pat Friarmouth has impressed and was used in the red
Speaker 1: zone in the last preseason game. He's got this big
Speaker 1: six ft five frame that makes him a potential end
Speaker 1: zone target throughout his career. Although mostly I think you're
Speaker 1: aiming in dynasty and keeper leagues. You're aiming Empire leagues.
Speaker 1: You're aiming for twenty two with friar Muth. After Eric
Speaker 1: Ebron's contract expires, he's gonna be gone next year, and
Speaker 1: that friar mouths your full time starter. But good early
Speaker 1: signs for Pat Friarmouth. Let's go to the Falcons next.
Speaker 1: Running back jav And Hawkins was let go. He was
Speaker 1: kind of a sleeper favorite to me, you win the
Speaker 1: backup job. That's clearly going to go to quadre Alison
Speaker 1: now is he's the RB two behind Mike Davis that is,
Speaker 1: until Atlanta signs Latavius Murray. That's just the prediction of mine.
Speaker 1: But uh, I think that is what you're saying. And
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen, still in the league, signed as the backup
Speaker 1: quarterback in Atlanta as well. Might as well throw that
Speaker 1: out there. I know some people are holding on him
Speaker 1: in dynasty leagues. Deep dynasty leagues. Just deepen up. Let's
Speaker 1: head over to the Bengals. Next. Rumors surface this week
Speaker 1: of on Tap seeing more work early in the season
Speaker 1: as Chase gets used to things. Jamar Chase, who struggled
Speaker 1: so far in camp. Uh, you gotta remember he hasn't
Speaker 1: played football in twenty months. You know, he's knocking some
Speaker 1: rust off. So I'm not too worried about him. But
Speaker 1: I do love te Higgins a lot more. Right now.
Speaker 1: Te Higgins I think is going underdraft. He really is,
Speaker 1: you know. I think when they as soon as Chase
Speaker 1: hit the roster, people like I'm done on t Higgins.
Speaker 1: Higgins is sitting on. He's actually a very one of
Speaker 1: those big second year wide receiver jumps. He was very
Speaker 1: good with Burrow, very good. Yes he was forty nine.
Speaker 1: Is Kyle Shanahan is opening the notion of rotating quarterbacks
Speaker 1: Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo. They both got first team
Speaker 1: reps in practice this week. Lance could be used like
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill was used last year. Still expect Jimmy Garoppolo
Speaker 1: to start, but Lance could be eased into the NFL
Speaker 1: in this fashion with spot duty and perhaps closer to
Speaker 1: the goal line, which would be bad for fantasy owners, frankly,
Speaker 1: because that that would make both of them unstartable. Next
Speaker 1: up the Cardinals. Cardinals activated Andy Isabella from the reserve
Speaker 1: COVID list, but who really cares at this point he
Speaker 1: might not even make the team. A former second round
Speaker 1: pick a couple of years ago by Arizona clearly behind
Speaker 1: obviously behind Hopkins, with a j Green, rond Elmore and
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk all well ahead of Andy Isabella, who's on
Speaker 1: the roster bubble, Okay Scott the Jags, Trevor Lawrence has
Speaker 1: been named the starter, so Gardner Minshew can finally go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom. Uh et n uh. Injury opens the
Speaker 1: door for Chennault to get work, and maybe that harvn
Speaker 1: roll that Urban had had planned for e t n
Speaker 1: might be some extra work there for Chennault. I hope,
Speaker 1: so he he has slipped quite a bit in drafts.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Baltimore Ravens, where Marquis Brown is
Speaker 1: still not practicing four weeks after his hamstring injury. His
Speaker 1: status for the openers unclear. At this point, we already
Speaker 1: know where Shod Bateman is gonna miss week one. Sammy
Speaker 1: Watkins missed practice this week with an undisclosed injury. Miles
Speaker 1: Boykin has missed weeks of practice with his own hamstring injury.
Speaker 1: It's been bad lamar Jackson, and practice is taking first
Speaker 1: team reps with Devin DuVernay and Thailand Wallace. I don't
Speaker 1: know who that is, and I do this for a living.
Speaker 1: What yeah, Thailand Wallace? Okay, some people pronounce a tilling.
Speaker 1: I think it is Till. He'll be tilling your fantasy team.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Bears. That's sorry, that is me.
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to the Bears because they're
Speaker 1: making the most moronic move of all time by not
Speaker 1: starting Justin Fields in week one. They've already decided that
Speaker 1: will be Andy Dalton the end. I mean, how long
Speaker 1: until we see Justin Fields? Though? Well, we do, hopefully
Speaker 1: hopefully quarter two Week one, he's going off the board
Speaker 1: too late. Let's go to our final team, Los Angeles Chargers,
Speaker 1: and possibly one of the more important ones. According to
Speaker 1: reports from a ton of sources, CBS Athletic Sports illustrated
Speaker 1: a bunch of beat reporters. This is how the backfield
Speaker 1: is looking. Eckler is the starter, Justin Jackson is his
Speaker 1: main backup. Kelly and round Tree will be used in
Speaker 1: short yardage and goal line for the team. We don't
Speaker 1: want it. We do not want to hear anybody but
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler getting used at that very much tracks with
Speaker 1: their skill sets in history too. Unfortunately, I was hoping
Speaker 1: a new coaching staff would see it differently. Austin Ekeler,
Speaker 1: you've seen it. You've seen him, shirtless, dude built, he
Speaker 1: can run at the stripe. Dam I'll believe it when
Speaker 1: I see it or don't see it. With them using
Speaker 1: a healthy at the goal line, we'll just see about that.
Speaker 1: When we come back inside the five yard line, we'll
Speaker 1: go through we just ran through two teams, or run
Speaker 1: through thirty two teams again and tell you what you
Speaker 1: need to know about what your teams do inside the
Speaker 1: five yard line. When we returned to Fantasy Football Weekly,
Speaker 1: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul charge In, Scott Fish
Speaker 1: and Brian Johnson with you. If you would like to
Speaker 1: use my personal cheat sheet at your draft, it's free
Speaker 1: at Guilloteen Leagues dot Com. Gentlemen, As you know, for
Speaker 1: years I have done deep dives on team tendencies from
Speaker 1: inside the five yard line and canitual listeners may not
Speaker 1: realize just how crucial this information is. Why should you
Speaker 1: care about what happens inside the five yard line? After
Speaker 1: all the other yards in those count two? Here's why
Speaker 1: you should care. Thank for a moment about how many
Speaker 1: touchdowns you think were scored in the NFL from inside
Speaker 1: the five yard line last year? We call this the
Speaker 1: infra red zone too? Do we like to call this
Speaker 1: the infrared zone? So put a number in your head.
Speaker 1: How many touchdowns were scored from inside the five yard
Speaker 1: line last year? Do you think it was more than
Speaker 1: one hundred? Yes? Do you think it was more than
Speaker 1: two hundred? Yes? Do you think it could be more
Speaker 1: than three hundred touchdowns scored in the NFL from inside
Speaker 1: the five yard line last year? Because I've been a
Speaker 1: training camp year over year, Yes I do. Last year,
Speaker 1: six hundred twenty nine touchdowns first scored from its at
Speaker 1: the five yard line. See, I would even take that
Speaker 1: many touchdowns scored in the NFL, right, I know, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: You need to have a part of those These are
Speaker 1: the easy touchdowns the inside the five of the easy ones,
Speaker 1: guys who have to score from distance, and maybe we're
Speaker 1: just talking about Austin Neckler last segment. If Austin Ekeler
Speaker 1: has to score from distance, that materially hurts his fantasy
Speaker 1: production six twenty eight touchdowns. We care, So we're gonna
Speaker 1: give you the one thing you need to know from
Speaker 1: each of the teams from inside the five yard line,
Speaker 1: based a lot on what the tendencies are from last season.
Speaker 1: Let's begin with Brian and the Carolina Panthers. Well, as
Speaker 1: we all remember, Carolina basically sands Christian McCaffrey last year
Speaker 1: played to two or three games, which still Caroline had
Speaker 1: the third highest rushing ratio inside the five last year,
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater only attempted three passes from inside. Only throw
Speaker 1: three passes inside the five year um and Teddy can
Speaker 1: throw that far as he can. But of course a
Speaker 1: new quarterback and Sam Donald, a new uh ends own weapon,
Speaker 1: and d Arnold Dan Arnold and uh Terris Marshall as
Speaker 1: well as a serious threat in the red zone, so
Speaker 1: maybe Carolina throws a little more. But last year very
Speaker 1: run heavy, and of course, as of right now, Christian
Speaker 1: McCaffrey back, So lots of opportunities for CMC was like,
Speaker 1: they are on the horizon, So I think you should
Speaker 1: take him high in your drafts this year, Scott, guys,
Speaker 1: think of that. How about the Las Vegas Raiders from
Speaker 1: inside the five yard line? This one's really interesting because Jacobs,
Speaker 1: uh and Drake were both top five and carries inside
Speaker 1: the five and inside the ten last year, but on
Speaker 1: different teams. Jacobs has the better build for for that
Speaker 1: kind of role, but Drake was much more effective than
Speaker 1: then Jacobs was last year. UM, I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: see how it shakes out. I would expect Jacobs to
Speaker 1: to keep that role because he's been in that role
Speaker 1: in that offense already, but I guess we'll find out. Jacobs,
Speaker 1: I think convertedent of his carries inside the five were touchdowns.
Speaker 1: You want to be at You want to know what
Speaker 1: Jacob was. That was Drake. Yeah, that's better. Maybe it's better.
Speaker 1: It's not great, but it's better. Okay, let's go to
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers through the most passes from inside
Speaker 1: the five. Get this. We just talked about Teddy through
Speaker 1: three passes from inside the five. Aaron Rodgers through thirty
Speaker 1: times from inside the five and scored twenty touchdowns. He
Speaker 1: had more touchdowns from inside the five than Teddy Bridgewater had. Period.
Speaker 1: Davante Adams let all receivers and targets, receptions and touchdowns
Speaker 1: from inside the five. Let's head to Washington next, and Washington,
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson scored on half of his carries inside the
Speaker 1: five last year and very very good rate. And Washington
Speaker 1: had the fourth highest rush rate from inside the five.
Speaker 1: That is very good when it comes to uh rostering
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson, you can't get a lot of opportunities inside
Speaker 1: the five. Next up, let's go to Buffalo. So the
Speaker 1: carries inside the five were split very evenly between uh
Speaker 1: Moss and Alan god Singletary. Let's keep him out of
Speaker 1: the equation. Moss and Ellen Allen with a much higher
Speaker 1: conversion rate. But with that new two million dollar deal,
Speaker 1: the question now becomes do the bills continue to allow
Speaker 1: those runs? Do they allow him to run the in
Speaker 1: seven eight times? Or do they try or be or
Speaker 1: do they know, do they allow him because that's what
Speaker 1: they paid him to do, that's what works, or do they,
Speaker 1: you know, try to protect their investment I'd like to
Speaker 1: think they'll try Zach Moss early in the season and
Speaker 1: see if Zach Moss can be effective at the goal line,
Speaker 1: and if he is, keep using him that way and
Speaker 1: keep the miles and all the all of the tackles
Speaker 1: and all the hits off of their star and now
Speaker 1: very expensive quarterback for the Texans. Deshaun Watson's probably out
Speaker 1: of the mix. He takes seven inside the five rushes
Speaker 1: with him, And so you ask will will runners get
Speaker 1: more chances? Then, well, David Johnson was really bad last year.
Speaker 1: He turned to twelve carries into just four scores. Since
Speaker 1: not David Johnson, Philip Lindsay is not really built for
Speaker 1: goal line you, So does it go to mark Ingram?
Speaker 1: Is that possible? Could he be a dark horse to
Speaker 1: come out of this thing with gold line carries? The
Speaker 1: Houston backfield just doesn't exist in my mind. I'm just
Speaker 1: not going to acknowledge any of those. Let's instead acknowledged
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. That's another frustrating backfield. Yeah, is it Ronald
Speaker 1: Jones or Leonard Fournette at the goal line? So let's
Speaker 1: look at last year's data. They both had eight carries
Speaker 1: from inside the five. They both scored five touchdowns. Alright,
Speaker 1: no help there, no help there at all. Gio Bernard
Speaker 1: now in talent, unlikely a goal line threat though. So
Speaker 1: I don't know take your poison between Rojo and Leo.
Speaker 1: But you see what you do is you take your
Speaker 1: twenty five Anniverse three uh Fantasy Football Weekly you definitely
Speaker 1: should have purchased if you did, and flip that thing.
Speaker 1: Figure it out, Scott, Let's try Cleveland. What do we
Speaker 1: need to about know about their tendencies inside the five? Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's let's keep that coin out. Yeah, all right, let's
Speaker 1: talk about how Nick Chop and Cream Hunt within a
Speaker 1: couple carries of each other, and they had almost exactly
Speaker 1: the same amount of carries and conversion rate. So and
Speaker 1: I don't see any change. I don't see any change
Speaker 1: there at all. It's gonna slightly lean Chubb, but that's
Speaker 1: what it's gonna be. If Chubb marches down the field,
Speaker 1: they need he needs to break Hunts. They think Hunt
Speaker 1: is perfectly capable, and he is. Yeah for the Colts.
Speaker 1: Niheim Hines got a depressing seven carries inside the five
Speaker 1: last year, which is inexplicable, but he only scored two
Speaker 1: times from inside the five, and once Jonathan Taylor went
Speaker 1: on his December run, Nahem Hines got no carries inside
Speaker 1: the five, so hopefully that was all mirrage and we're
Speaker 1: not going to see niahem Hins there, and Jonathan Taylor
Speaker 1: is gonna just house all those inside the five carries.
Speaker 1: Let's go next to the Detroit Lions, Brian Adrian Peterson
Speaker 1: and carry on. Johnson now gone from Detroit, they have
Speaker 1: vacated eighteen carries from inside the five years. Lots of
Speaker 1: a what for sure, right and DeAndre Swift was very
Speaker 1: successful last year, scoring on six of his nine runs
Speaker 1: from inside the five last year, but as we talked
Speaker 1: about last segment, he's looking very iffy for Week one, May,
Speaker 1: week two and beyond. So again, Jamal Williams, je Mark
Speaker 1: Jefferson even bump them up your your boards, all right, Scott,
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Jets next, can we not? Uh
Speaker 1: just kidding? The Jets only had fourteen total carries inside
Speaker 1: the five last year, which is a little bit hilarious.
Speaker 1: There's only one team worse, and I'll talk about them
Speaker 1: in a bit, but Ty Johnson is the only running
Speaker 1: back on the team who had a single carry inside
Speaker 1: the five. Last year was back with the team. He's
Speaker 1: currently running is the top back, but I would expect
Speaker 1: Michael Carter to be able to take that role. For
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, they're all of their runners together, all of
Speaker 1: the runners on roster combined for two touchdowns from inside
Speaker 1: the five yard line. You know hard it is to
Speaker 1: do that when you are the highest us They were
Speaker 1: the second highest scoring team last year. That's insane. That's
Speaker 1: the change it's has. It has to change, right, But
Speaker 1: will it change via Clyde Edwards, Hilaire or somebody else.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Seahawks Brian. Chris Carson since eighteen
Speaker 1: has accumulated thirty three carries from inside the five for
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. All other Seattle runners during that time span
Speaker 1: have combined for twenty two. Al Right, Carson is the guy.
Speaker 1: He just needs. Maybe if Chris Carson, maybe, if they
Speaker 1: had Chris Carson instead of Marshawn Lynch in that Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: they would have give Hi Chris Carson the ball the
Speaker 1: goal line instead of deciding to lose the game instead.
Speaker 1: But again, Carson only six carries from the side to
Speaker 1: five last year, only played twelve games. He's got to
Speaker 1: stay healthy. But if he does, he is the guy
Speaker 1: for Seattle Scott. Next up the Broncos. Much like the Jets,
Speaker 1: the Broncos only ran it thirteen times inside the five
Speaker 1: last year. They just did not get down to the
Speaker 1: stripe for to run the ball that much. Melvin Gordon
Speaker 1: had over half of them. He's still there. Javonte Williams
Speaker 1: is very well suited for that role. That's perfect for him. UM.
Speaker 1: I would expect possibly a split early on, but if
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams proves effective, he could take that, let's hope.
Speaker 1: So for the Rams, since Sean McVeigh took over in
Speaker 1: the Rams have the most rushing plays and the most
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns from inside the five. That bodes well for
Speaker 1: Darryl Henderson. We're going to talk maybe Sony Michelle. I
Speaker 1: don't want to tip my hand yet, but that's that's topics.
Speaker 1: Gonna come up again later. Next up Brian the Eagles.
Speaker 1: Sort of a small sample size for Jalen Hurts last year,
Speaker 1: but he only had one carry from inside the five
Speaker 1: for negative two yards, so he doesn't seem like a
Speaker 1: huge threat to his running backs, primarily Miles Sanders. As
Speaker 1: you know how Josh Allen is a threat to Zack
Speaker 1: Moss or something along those lines. Miles Sanders only had
Speaker 1: four carries inside the five last year. He was banged
Speaker 1: up for a good amount of the season, which scored twice.
Speaker 1: Clip he should be the guy inside the five and again,
Speaker 1: not too worried about hurts taking those goal line touches.
Speaker 1: It's an important from Sanders, Scott. Let's go to the
Speaker 1: Dolphins next. So last year Miami really used a one
Speaker 1: back approach. When it was achmed In, he got almost
Speaker 1: all the goal line work. When it was Gasking, he
Speaker 1: got almost all the goal line work. And when you
Speaker 1: say and you mean who is the lead back, that
Speaker 1: it was exact lead back, the healthy lead back. They
Speaker 1: took a one back approach. The lead back of that
Speaker 1: game was the one they used at this stripe. And
Speaker 1: it appears to be Gaskin's job right now. Both Gaskin
Speaker 1: and Acment are getting work with the first team, but
Speaker 1: it really does appear to be Gaskin's job. In Minnesota
Speaker 1: last year, no team ran the ball more than the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings thirty eight carries from inside the five yard
Speaker 1: line last year, and that's a lot of why Dalvin
Speaker 1: Cook is so safe in fantasy leagues. I'll note Adam
Speaker 1: Feeling get this. He scored on seven of eight targets
Speaker 1: from inside the five. That's an amazing rate, and it
Speaker 1: goes to show that they continue can continue to use
Speaker 1: Theeling that way. Next up, let's go to the Dallas Cowboys. Brian,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna look into too much what happened inside
Speaker 1: the five last year because the Cowboys offensive line was
Speaker 1: basically non existent. They were all gone, all the regulars
Speaker 1: we're not playing for the most part. But they all
Speaker 1: make their return this year. Left tackle Tyron Smith comes
Speaker 1: back after playing just a hundred fifty four snaps. Right
Speaker 1: tackle Ill Collins missed all due to hip surgery. He
Speaker 1: is back. It will still be Zeke at the stripe.
Speaker 1: He he didn't have the most success last year, but again,
Speaker 1: the line was not in full form. Tony Pollard not
Speaker 1: so much a concern at the goal line, and I
Speaker 1: don't think they want Dak Prescott to handle many goal
Speaker 1: line touches coming off shoulder injury. So I'm sleeping on
Speaker 1: Zeke a little too much. Maybe well we'll see, But alright,
Speaker 1: final one for this segment, Scott tell people about what
Speaker 1: the Patriots are like inside the five yard line? What's
Speaker 1: the one thing they need to know? The Patriots are
Speaker 1: very much Cam Newton based. So if he doesn't get
Speaker 1: the start, I would expect the big bulldozing Romandre Stevenson
Speaker 1: to get it if unless Amien Harry's just built for
Speaker 1: that too. He he is. He got some work there
Speaker 1: last year. But it could be a split, and it
Speaker 1: could be gross, but it could be even grosser. Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick decides he wants to bring Cam Newton in that area.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be a disaster if he brings in Cam
Speaker 1: at the goal line? Oh, that'd be so frust Cam
Speaker 1: had last year twenty two carries from inside the five.
Speaker 1: Only two players, both running backs, had more carries from
Speaker 1: inside the five than the Patriots quarter. It was basically
Speaker 1: all Camps. Yes, it was all Cam last year. Let's
Speaker 1: hope he is a total non factor this year. When
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll continue telling you the one thing
Speaker 1: you need to know about team tendencies from inside the
Speaker 1: five as Fantasy Football Weekly continues. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.
Speaker 1: I am Paul Charge and Gaillotine Leagues dot Com. Brian
Speaker 1: Johnson Gaillotine Leagues dot Um and Scott Fish is our
Speaker 1: third co host today. This is segment number two of
Speaker 1: What's Happening Inside the five yard Line? What is the
Speaker 1: one thing you need to know from every team from
Speaker 1: inside the five? There were a whopping six touchdowns scored
Speaker 1: from inside the five last year. You need to know
Speaker 1: because we love easy touchdowns and those are easy touchdowns
Speaker 1: breaking news. We like touchdowns and fantasy football. I know,
Speaker 1: hard to believe. Right before we jump into jump into
Speaker 1: the final set of teams that we want to talk
Speaker 1: about from inside the five, reminder that it's a perfect
Speaker 1: time to join a Guillotine League. As you probably know,
Speaker 1: eight teen teams start the season. There's no head to
Speaker 1: head and instead of teams playing each other, the low
Speaker 1: team that scores each week gets cut and all their
Speaker 1: players go to the waiver wire and there everybody else
Speaker 1: sits pandemonium as you're feasting on an entire draft of players.
Speaker 1: Might be Alan Camara, Josh Allen, Mike Evans, Chris Carson,
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay, all hitting the waiver wire in one week.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. That's the premise of the Guillotine League. All
Speaker 1: you have to do is not be last in any
Speaker 1: given week, and the last team standing wins the whole thing.
Speaker 1: You can go to guillotine leagues dot com to find
Speaker 1: private league's, public leagues, or whatever prize level you want
Speaker 1: to play for, all available at guillotine leagues dot com.
Speaker 1: Can we talk about the new super chop format very quickly? Sure,
Speaker 1: let's do it real quick. You said a smaller league,
Speaker 1: twelve team league, do your draft, and you survive through
Speaker 1: week eleven, and then you advanced to the playoffs against
Speaker 1: eleven other finalists, and you do a brand new draft
Speaker 1: for the playoff period in November, which is pretty sweet. Weeah,
Speaker 1: there's a hundred dollar super Chop contest in the lobby
Speaker 1: and I highly suggest six thousand dollar grand prize. That's
Speaker 1: our high stakes version of Guillotine Leagues. Let's go to
Speaker 1: I believe the team we left off on was the
Speaker 1: New York Giants from inside the five yard line. Scott,
Speaker 1: it's me, It's Brian, Sorry, Brian, Unfortunately I gotta talk
Speaker 1: about the Giants again. Only only the Jets through fewer
Speaker 1: passes inside the five than the Giants did last year,
Speaker 1: And of course Kwan Barkley basically missed the whole season.
Speaker 1: Um but there was success and success inside the five
Speaker 1: for the Giants. Evan Ingram one carry for a touchdown,
Speaker 1: Tavonta Freeman one carry for a touchdown, Dion Lewis three
Speaker 1: carries for two touchdowns, Alfred Morris one carry for a touchdown.
Speaker 1: So if Barkley stays healthy or gets healthy, all of
Speaker 1: that work, you could be looking at a nice season.
Speaker 1: But another guy I'm very worried about. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: him a little later as well. All right, next tyn
Speaker 1: to see Titans Scott. The Titans are easy. Henry got
Speaker 1: over seventy of the carries converted over fifty of those.
Speaker 1: It's all him. It's all him. How do you not
Speaker 1: have like we was getting him? That's why. Yeah, John
Speaker 1: Smith did get some. I don't think Darring Ted Evans
Speaker 1: got any. No Nick Nichols or something. The Saints from
Speaker 1: inside the five, we still have to sweat Taysom Hill.
Speaker 1: Even though Jamis Winston is going to be the starter.
Speaker 1: Even when he wasn't starting, he was still getting carries
Speaker 1: inside the five. And last year Taysom Hill had nine
Speaker 1: carries inside the five, he scored six times. That's a
Speaker 1: good return, good efficiency, and unfortunately that's what we're stuck
Speaker 1: with with Taysom Hill, and that might continue to be
Speaker 1: a problem for Jamis Winston owners. Next up Brian the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. Last year, Todd Gurley had the seventh most
Speaker 1: rushes inside the five seventeen. UH scored just six times.
Speaker 1: Though that's one of the reasons he's not in town
Speaker 1: anymore in Atlanta. Will Mike Davis have more success? I
Speaker 1: don't think so, because now Kyle Pittss in town, all
Speaker 1: they're gonna do is throw to him inside the five
Speaker 1: all day long. It's my prediction. Scott Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So on the Bengals, Geoe Actually Gio Bernard actually led
Speaker 1: a team in red zone carries. But remember still most
Speaker 1: of the season, UH that the year before mixing had
Speaker 1: like nearly twenty carries inside the five. I assume that
Speaker 1: comes back. They drafted three alignment, they added Riley Reef.
Speaker 1: The offense should be better, he should have more opportunities.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be the main guy for the Steelers.
Speaker 1: James Connor and Benny Snell combined for twenty six carries.
Speaker 1: That is a lot. Twenty six carries would have led
Speaker 1: the entire league last year. In carries inside the five
Speaker 1: yard line, Connor is gone. Snell stinks if Nagy Harris
Speaker 1: gets those same twenties six carries and he converts on
Speaker 1: on the number, we we what we like to use
Speaker 1: the number, which is you're trying to get that's thirteen
Speaker 1: touchdowns just from inside the five. It feels like a
Speaker 1: good amount, and that's would be a very good amount
Speaker 1: for Naji Harris. Next up the Arizona Cardinals Brian so
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake last year with the Cardinals had twenty two
Speaker 1: carries from inside the five. He's no longer in town,
Speaker 1: of course, so so they're all gonna go to Chase Edmonds, right,
Speaker 1: who we'll see Edmonds had one carry last year, so
Speaker 1: they clearly favored Drake over Edmonds. Now James right, I guess,
Speaker 1: but James Connor is not very much of a threat
Speaker 1: in any regard anymore. So, a lot of opportunities there
Speaker 1: for Arizona, and there's there's eno Benjamin who's still go
Speaker 1: But hopefully Edmonds gets a little some some chances and
Speaker 1: I can convert on some, but a lot of opportunity.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say that Chase Edmonds, that was
Speaker 1: actually his only carry in his career inside the five
Speaker 1: was the one last last year James no and James
Speaker 1: he got minus one yard. James Conner with Pittsburgh was
Speaker 1: in historically great short yardage and inside the five. Ro
Speaker 1: on her, he's like tough last year? Probably yes for
Speaker 1: the forty Niners, Brandon I, you tied among all receivers
Speaker 1: for the second most targets and he scored the third
Speaker 1: most times. Inexplicably. As a side note, George Kittle, get this,
Speaker 1: for everything that George Kittle is his entire career, they've
Speaker 1: thrown to him nine times inside the five. That's it,
Speaker 1: which is that you know if they decide to use
Speaker 1: Kittle that way many a lot more upside how many times? Geez,
Speaker 1: you don't have to do it, because I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: he had a couple tis called back. He may have,
Speaker 1: he may it's it's it's a horrible misuse of George Kittle.
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, the bigger point here, Brandon, I could give
Speaker 1: you a lot of safety if they continue using him
Speaker 1: at the at the goal line. You know who's really
Speaker 1: safe at the goal line. Tell me James Robinson for
Speaker 1: the Jakes, I bet he is of his of the
Speaker 1: carries inside the five for Jacksonville last year, where James
Speaker 1: Robinson's that's way more than Derek Travisy. T N is out.
Speaker 1: Who's gonna get him? Carlos Hide? And here's the fun fact,
Speaker 1: James Robinson scored on every single one of his carries
Speaker 1: inside the five last year of them. I probably have
Speaker 1: him under ranked now that ETN is out right now? Uh,
Speaker 1: in in standard non guillotine league's haven't ranked seventeen. He
Speaker 1: should probably be ahead of guys like Clyde Edwards, A
Speaker 1: Laire Barkley. Yeah maybe, I mean that's in the guillotine league.
Speaker 1: Yeah league, Yes, Uh, let's see, Brian, I believe you
Speaker 1: were up next with the Bears, your final team. What
Speaker 1: are they doing inside the five yard line? Last year?
Speaker 1: David Montgomery got fourteen of the fifteen running back carries
Speaker 1: inside the five for Chicago only converted them into four
Speaker 1: touchdowns al though, so not a lot of success for Montgomery.
Speaker 1: I'm not too worried about Damien Williams stealing goal line
Speaker 1: touches from uh Montgomery, though perhaps justin fields, though when
Speaker 1: once he becomes a starter could be a problem. He
Speaker 1: could have that Josh Allen vulture like effect on Montgome
Speaker 1: and keeping your eye on Khalil Herbert, rookie running back
Speaker 1: who has impressed in camp and it's kind of built
Speaker 1: for for goal line work, so he could be a
Speaker 1: vulture in the making as well. Cleil Herbert's looked good.
Speaker 1: He just looked really good. And you know, it's looked
Speaker 1: really bad. That Bears offensive line awful. And remember they
Speaker 1: put a high second round pick. They had a second
Speaker 1: round pick into Tevin Jenkins. He was a dominating right tackle.
Speaker 1: They were going to play him at left tackle, but
Speaker 1: now he's had surgery and he might miss the whole season.
Speaker 1: It's this offensive line is not good, and ultimately that's
Speaker 1: going to be a contributor to getting justin fields on
Speaker 1: the field sooner. So I mean, that'll be the upside,
Speaker 1: but I'm nervous about I'm nervous about Montgomery and others
Speaker 1: in that offense because of that line. Scott, your final
Speaker 1: team is the Los Angeles Chargers. Yes, you mentioned how
Speaker 1: before nahem Hinz had only had two conversions out of
Speaker 1: seven attempts. Austin Ekeler has converted two out of his
Speaker 1: last nine attempts over the last two years. Though not
Speaker 1: very good um last year he was only given two attempts.
Speaker 1: Kelly had five, Blage had six, had seven. We mentioned
Speaker 1: before the reporters have stated it's likely going to be
Speaker 1: Kelly and round Trees roll at least that's where we're
Speaker 1: sitting right now. So this round Tree guy look good
Speaker 1: too in preseason action. And you know, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: balance this. You know, we're not trying to go crazy
Speaker 1: over all these depth chart guys who have big games
Speaker 1: against third and four stringers. Round Tree looks like a player.
Speaker 1: And by the way, well I'm watching that game. My
Speaker 1: wife's sitting on the couch next to me. She decided
Speaker 1: to look up the entomology of round tree and it
Speaker 1: is a British term for like a a tree that
Speaker 1: is out like in the middle of nowhere in the field.
Speaker 1: And but that's like the tree that's around and people
Speaker 1: would point at the tree and you know you already
Speaker 1: knew that tree back in the ye olden days. Is
Speaker 1: that without the D though, without the D that's because
Speaker 1: that was part of why we looked it up, like
Speaker 1: round tree and with no D it's like Terris Marshall.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we looked it up and there you go,
Speaker 1: the will Full Factory in round tree. Last team is
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Many believe Lamar Jackson steals touchdown runs, but
Speaker 1: that's not true. Last year, from inside the five yard line,
Speaker 1: the Baltimore running backs ran the ball twenty three times.
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson ran three times. That's it, just three times.
Speaker 1: And that brings me back to Gus Edwards, my guy
Speaker 1: for this season, my favorite sleeper, and this is part
Speaker 1: of the reason why double digit touches from inside the
Speaker 1: five yard line built for goal line use. Yes, j
Speaker 1: K Dobbins is going to get worked there too, and
Speaker 1: yes I'd rather have JK Dobbins, But j K Dobbins
Speaker 1: cost you a second rounder, and I'm not even saying
Speaker 1: don't pay that. But Gus Edwards right now, eleventh round
Speaker 1: average draft position. He finished his running back twenty seven
Speaker 1: last year, going up the board right now as running back,
Speaker 1: and there's no reason mark Ingram's gone. It's a two
Speaker 1: headed backfield, not a three at the backfield now, there
Speaker 1: is no reason not to take Gus outwards where he's going,
Speaker 1: if not earlier. Lamar Jackson does not steal as much
Speaker 1: stuff as you might be inclined to think that he does. Um, Scott,
Speaker 1: we've got about one minute left. Sure, tell me about
Speaker 1: some ideas for spicing up a live draft now that
Speaker 1: we're drafting Inerson again. Yeah. So, my my wife sent
Speaker 1: me a picture of this league that that started just
Speaker 1: to head a live draft the other week, called the
Speaker 1: Mounds View Boys, and they're like fourteen year old kids.
Speaker 1: They got all dressed up and see that picture. I
Speaker 1: love it because there it's a bunch of kids playing
Speaker 1: with us, which is awesome. Yeah, and it made me think,
Speaker 1: what can you do to spice up your draft? You
Speaker 1: can you can like have walk up music, have a
Speaker 1: commissioner announced the picks. You can do right. You can
Speaker 1: have a rivalry draft and choose rivals. Um, get a
Speaker 1: live auctioneer if it's if it's an auctioneer auction draft,
Speaker 1: um a hundred yard rush dot com. You can do
Speaker 1: the draft order. You can little characters run across the
Speaker 1: fun and root for it, or any other kind of
Speaker 1: contest for your draft order, like a poker tournament beforehand,
Speaker 1: at golf tournament, video games we could have a video
Speaker 1: games tournament, anything like that. Those are simple, simple things
Speaker 1: you can do, all right. I love it. All great
Speaker 1: ideas to bring to your live draft. Fantasy Football Weekly
Speaker 1: Our number two comes back in a second. Welcome back
Speaker 1: our number two of Fantasy Football Weekly and Paul Charge
Speaker 1: in Diatine Leagues dot Com. Bryan Johnson also Guillotine Leagues
Speaker 1: dot Com are associated. Podcast is called Chop at Guillotine
Speaker 1: League Podcast, available wherever you love to get your podcasts
Speaker 1: and especially the I Heart Radio app up. Scott Fish
Speaker 1: joins as well. It is time for a segment we
Speaker 1: like to call three tough questions, and as is the tradition,
Speaker 1: we start with tough question number one. How much does
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle's arrival impact Darryl Henderson? None, some, or a lot?
Speaker 1: We start with Scott. So my my initial thought here
Speaker 1: was some. I mean, they watched Henderson for a year,
Speaker 1: they had him on the team, McVeigh had him on
Speaker 1: the team for a year. Then they decided, you know what,
Speaker 1: after watching this guy, we're gonna draft a running back
Speaker 1: in the second round and we're gonna give him the
Speaker 1: lead role late in the season. Uh, they may have
Speaker 1: tried to see what they could do, but then you know,
Speaker 1: he broke his thumb and and and so they felt
Speaker 1: new England had an access, they made a safe play.
Speaker 1: I think the answer is some. But then Sony Michelle
Speaker 1: took number fourteen as a running back, which so now
Speaker 1: I'm thinking there's really no concern at all. I guess
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with some. But that number choice is terrible. Okay,
Speaker 1: that that isn't I'm not used to the numbers yet.
Speaker 1: It is weird. Brian, how much does Sony Michelle's arrival
Speaker 1: impact Darryl Henderson? None, some, or a lot. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with none because that's basically basically what Sean McVeigh
Speaker 1: just said recently, that it has no effect on Darren
Speaker 1: and Henderson's usage. I'm more conservative Xavier Jones when it
Speaker 1: comes to taking the world from Darryl Henderson. We've seen
Speaker 1: what Sony Michelle has to offer. First off, he's kind
Speaker 1: of injury plagued, so only played one full season out
Speaker 1: of his three. Uh. He doesn't catch the ball. He
Speaker 1: has twenty six catches across three seasons, so no so
Speaker 1: no threat. Uh third down work and he's like a
Speaker 1: four yards carry just met runner. That Uh. I'm quite
Speaker 1: shocked that the Rams traded for him. I think the
Speaker 1: Patriots are probably gonna cut them. They're so loaded at
Speaker 1: running back. But no effect for me. Uh, Sony Michelle
Speaker 1: in town. Now Sony walk Many, Walkman, black Manjelis walk Man, Jelis,
Speaker 1: I like Sony Walkman, Thank you. I think that's I
Speaker 1: think we can we have we already had it perfect.
Speaker 1: The correct answer is none. The some the thumb injury
Speaker 1: that Darrell Henderson has ultimately will not be a factor,
Speaker 1: even if it is at the very beginning of the season.
Speaker 1: And let's remember that Darryl Henderson wasn't going to be
Speaker 1: a workhorse anyway. You know, right when Cam Akers went down,
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh said, we gotta really monitor his workload. He
Speaker 1: was not going to be the work He was not
Speaker 1: going to be a workload work course guy anyhow. And
Speaker 1: here comes Sony Walkman, a marginal talent who doesn't catch
Speaker 1: and gets hurt constantly. The guy he really hurts his
Speaker 1: Davier Jones and maybe to a lesser extent, Jake Funk,
Speaker 1: if he was Jake Funk was going to be in
Speaker 1: the mix here at some point. That's it, you know. Now,
Speaker 1: that's not to say Sony Walkman will have no fantasy value.
Speaker 1: He may be a spot starter. But I still think
Speaker 1: this is gonna shape up like fourteen to sixteen touches
Speaker 1: a game for Darryl Henderson Sony Michelle's gonna be like
Speaker 1: six eight. It'll still be like a two to one ratio.
Speaker 1: I believe they'll get those three touchdown games that will
Speaker 1: just piss all Henderson. I hope not. I hope not. Tough.
Speaker 1: Question number two, Carson Wentz is trending towards a week
Speaker 1: one start. Does he belong in rosters in a one
Speaker 1: quarterback league? Brian so Chart, You and I just did
Speaker 1: a twenty man twenty team live auction. You can only
Speaker 1: have one quarterback on roster, and it's a team quarterback.
Speaker 1: We don't have to get into that. But the Colts
Speaker 1: quarterback was not selected. No, it's not one of the
Speaker 1: among Now, in a standard one quarterback league, you're your
Speaker 1: odds are you're gonna have a backup quarterback, and that's
Speaker 1: where Wentz would fall. He was going right around quarterback
Speaker 1: twenty before the injury. Then he got hurt. Adp plummeted. Uh.
Speaker 1: It's on the rise a little bit, but I'm not
Speaker 1: wasting a roster spot on Wentz is a backup. He's
Speaker 1: not a starter in a one quarterback league. We're not
Speaker 1: gonna go down that path. But but the offense is
Speaker 1: not very exciting and it's gonna revolve around Jonathan Taylor
Speaker 1: and they're gonna play good defense. So for me, no,
Speaker 1: I'll stream someone when I need to back up on.
Speaker 1: Gonna sit on Wentz because I just don't see a
Speaker 1: ceiling there at all. Okay, Scott, No, no, no, I'll
Speaker 1: just say no. Even fully healthy, uh he was, he
Speaker 1: was barely a streaming option in one QB league's Carson Wentz.
Speaker 1: I don't care that he's trending for the week one start.
Speaker 1: He does not belong on one quarterback league rosters. I
Speaker 1: do a ton of one quarterback mocks and drafts. I
Speaker 1: was in the draft last night with A. J. Dillon
Speaker 1: of the Green Bay Packers. By the way, Brian, he
Speaker 1: took Kyle Pitts. Just he's already one of the best.
Speaker 1: Just let me but in that in that draft, twelve
Speaker 1: teamer nobody took Carson Wentz. I don't even think he
Speaker 1: was on anyone's radar. It's it's he's he's not rosterable
Speaker 1: at that point. It needs to be super flex. Well,
Speaker 1: I was just in a I was just in a
Speaker 1: draft with Tom Cruise, and Tom Cruise said he loved
Speaker 1: my team and great about a team. In a plus,
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is I'm good. Even though you're probably right,
Speaker 1: you're wrong. In many metrics, the Colts have the easiest
Speaker 1: passing schedule from October through the rest of the year, uh,
Speaker 1: including Warren Sharp acknowledging as much talking about as much
Speaker 1: on a recent tweet. Once it is surrounded by viable targets.
Speaker 1: You can throw to Pittman, Hilton Campbell tight ends, you
Speaker 1: can catch running backs to catch. He's got a ton
Speaker 1: of targets. He'll enjoy the best pass blocking of his
Speaker 1: entire career, other than maybe when his very very first
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. And that offensive line is good, unlike the
Speaker 1: jail breaks he was subjected to last year, He's still
Speaker 1: got good mobility and always has. Now. The foot injury
Speaker 1: might tamp tamper that, damp damp in that a bit
Speaker 1: this year, but the if the mobility comes back, he
Speaker 1: helps you out more than I think people realize that
Speaker 1: way too. I think he does belong on one quarterback
Speaker 1: league rosters. Am I gonna start him? Every week. Nope,
Speaker 1: but I get the feeling when I hit those bye weeks.
Speaker 1: He's the exactly the kind of guy I'm gonna want
Speaker 1: to inject or from my quarterback goes down, I'll be
Speaker 1: glad I have him. I mean, I was with what
Speaker 1: I was in on Wentz early in the He's going
Speaker 1: back to Reich who he had his m v P
Speaker 1: you know caliber season up until he got injured for the
Speaker 1: the last four weeks. I was very in on that.
Speaker 1: It's just as I watched these drafts play out. You know,
Speaker 1: when I want to grab my second quarterback, I wanted
Speaker 1: to be Lands or Fields or guys like that. Those
Speaker 1: guys do. But who says you're only drafting two quarterbacks?
Speaker 1: Who's drafting three quarterbacks in the one quarterback league? You're
Speaker 1: the one who loves your like twenty three in super Flex.
Speaker 1: In super Flex, they love your big roster. Question number three,
Speaker 1: who is the single most valuable receiver in dynasty or
Speaker 1: Empire formats? I think we're on me on me, let's
Speaker 1: start here. I'm gonna go with Ceedee Lamb him growing
Speaker 1: in that offense with Dak for many years. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: a big fan of I've always been a big fan
Speaker 1: of the young wide receiver growing with it, you know,
Speaker 1: the young stud quarterback. Most Dynasty ranks have Jefferson and
Speaker 1: Brown and Metcalf above them. But who's going to be
Speaker 1: Jefferson's quarterback in a couple of years. We don't know.
Speaker 1: We don't know who that's gonna be. Is Ruscoe to
Speaker 1: stay elite and efficient? As efficient as he's been in
Speaker 1: decays has disappeared at times. Speaking of efficiency, Brown has
Speaker 1: not not just Brown, but both Brown. A J. Brown
Speaker 1: and Ryan Tanneh have been insanely efficient on low passing volume.
Speaker 1: What if that goes away? Um, And here's another thing
Speaker 1: to note. What if Zeke starts to decline and they
Speaker 1: have to pass more over the next couple of years
Speaker 1: and Zeke goes away? I'm I'm taking Ceedee Lamb in that. Okay, Brian,
Speaker 1: who is the single most valuable receiver in dynasty or
Speaker 1: Empire format? I had to go with A J. Brown.
Speaker 1: I didn't think of a Ceede Lamb too. But A J.
Speaker 1: Brown just turned twenty four in June. Last year, played
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen full healthy games, only saw a hundred
Speaker 1: targets like a hundred and two targets, still had over
Speaker 1: a thousand yards and eleven touchdowns. Theoretically he could see
Speaker 1: twice as many targets somewhere two target year. It could happen. Well,
Speaker 1: now there's an extra game. It certainly again. Uh So
Speaker 1: basically a J. Brown, we haven't. He's just ratching the
Speaker 1: surface and he gets fifty targets. That is way more feasible, right,
Speaker 1: charge you can get with me on this, I can.
Speaker 1: We are talking. We are we are talking touchdown range
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns for a J. Brown in full healthy season
Speaker 1: on the horizon. Decorrect answer. The player I would not
Speaker 1: trade in a dynasty or Empire league for any other
Speaker 1: receiver is Ceedee Lamb twenty two years old, two years young,
Speaker 1: and I love a J. Brown by the way, I
Speaker 1: love a J. Brown with lamp twenty two years old.
Speaker 1: You hit on the single biggest point. He has an
Speaker 1: excellent young quarterback in Dak Prescott, who, let's remember, just
Speaker 1: signed a four year deal, so we know you've got
Speaker 1: four years of Dak Prescott quarterbacking. That is a long
Speaker 1: time in your dynasty or Empire league. Um, he's already
Speaker 1: flashing greatness. He did it last year. He's you're seeing
Speaker 1: it on a hard knocks if you're watching hard docks,
Speaker 1: Gallup has gone next year, and that's another big consideration
Speaker 1: for me. Gallops can take a hundred targets with him,
Speaker 1: and they'll probably just some move like Cedric Wilson up
Speaker 1: as odd. I don't think whoever goes there next. I
Speaker 1: just think they're gonna there's gonna be enough vacated targets
Speaker 1: to move Ceedee Lamb into a top five position on
Speaker 1: my cheat sheet at this time next year. Now, you
Speaker 1: asked the single most valuable receiver receiver. He did it. Now.
Speaker 1: I wanted to say Kyle Pits, but I'm so concerned
Speaker 1: that he gets designated as a wide receiver in future years.
Speaker 1: I didn't go that way, but that that that is
Speaker 1: really my answer to Gallup was my last my last
Speaker 1: line there. But also cite Lamb stats with doc five
Speaker 1: games five for fifty nine six for one oh six
Speaker 1: five or sixty five five or seventy nine eight four
Speaker 1: and that was the first five games of NFL pace. Yes,
Speaker 1: the Raiders should have taken Ceedee Lamb over Henry Rugs.
Speaker 1: There gonna graphic or justin Jefferson and you can spell
Speaker 1: his name with emojisus C D and a lamb and
Speaker 1: so cute. That counts as well. I'm I rarely talked
Speaker 1: about my own leagues, but I'm in a Dinasa league right.
Speaker 1: I was able to get Justin Jefferson and Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 1: in the draft. Last year, I traded away Justin Jefferson
Speaker 1: and kept Ceedee Lamb just because they didn't get a
Speaker 1: log on and say again, when we come back the
Speaker 1: blacklist guys, I will not draft in our other co
Speaker 1: hosts as well. We're the guys were avoiding in our draft,
Speaker 1: and you should too. When we come back to Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. If you haven't
Speaker 1: tried to Quilloteen League, we encourage you to learn a
Speaker 1: little bit more at kioteen leagues dot com. Eighteen teams
Speaker 1: start the season no head to head the low scoring team.
Speaker 1: Each week it's cut and all their players go to
Speaker 1: the waiver wire where pneumonium ensues and all the players
Speaker 1: were about to mention are going to be the one
Speaker 1: could be? Because this whole segment is geared around the
Speaker 1: players we don't like and aren't drafting, So these are
Speaker 1: the guys we think that are gonna get you chopped early.
Speaker 1: In the guillotine format, all you have to do every
Speaker 1: week is not finished last. You don't have to be best,
Speaker 1: but can you not be last every week? That's it.
Speaker 1: Last team standing wins the whole thing. If you ain't
Speaker 1: last your first, that's it. Last your first. If that
Speaker 1: is the kits in league. Right there, Let's talk about
Speaker 1: the blacklist, the guys that we will not draft. We're
Speaker 1: gonna will each give a quarterback, a running back, a
Speaker 1: wide receiver, and a tight end. Some cases we may
Speaker 1: actually disagree on these things, but it's personal preference. Let's
Speaker 1: begin at the quarterback position. Scott, who's your first player
Speaker 1: you will not draft? Quarterback position. I'm going to go
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson going is QB six in the mid fifth.
Speaker 1: It's mostly price tag. It's I I understand him being
Speaker 1: ranked there in the QB six, seven eight range. I
Speaker 1: personally I think I have ranked as my QB eight.
Speaker 1: But it's fine. I'm fine with that. My problem is
Speaker 1: that team wants to run a lot. He's been he's
Speaker 1: been solid because of his efficiency, and he falls off
Speaker 1: for half the season seemingly every year. Uh, He's only
Speaker 1: topped four yards rushing twice in the last five years,
Speaker 1: and that declines and running quarterbacks as they get older,
Speaker 1: so don't expect that to come up. But he didn't
Speaker 1: top two hundred fifty yards in his final eight games
Speaker 1: last year, UM. Sixteen touchdowns in those eight games total,
Speaker 1: and four we're against the Jets, so most of the
Speaker 1: games you're not getting a lot of points from in
Speaker 1: the second half. That happened the year before, where he
Speaker 1: only to top two hundred and fifty yards once in
Speaker 1: his final seven and through just nine touchdowns UM. And weirdly,
Speaker 1: earlier in his career, he was a notorious slow starter
Speaker 1: for the first half of the year. So he's a
Speaker 1: half year starter. I just I can't take that there. H.
Speaker 1: I'm with Russell Wilson and no rosters either, not one.
Speaker 1: Brian dak Prescott going way too high for me at
Speaker 1: quarterback five right about now. I know he's been fully
Speaker 1: cleared now by the Dallas medical staff, but I don't
Speaker 1: really trust the Dallas medical staff. Jerry Jones seems like
Speaker 1: a guy who would throw his grandchildren into a volcano
Speaker 1: sacrificed him into a volcano to win another Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: The Russian Dak back who is not going to be
Speaker 1: speaking of rushing, not many rush attempts. Uh. In the
Speaker 1: future for Dak Prescott, I don't think. I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna be a different quarterback in that regard, and uh,
Speaker 1: I can get he's just gonna be more of a
Speaker 1: pure passers. He's a great passer. He's got great weapons,
Speaker 1: of course, but I can get pure pastors with great
Speaker 1: weapons later in my draft, like Aaron Rodgers just an
Speaker 1: air bear, uh, Tom Brady, Matthew Stafford even later. So
Speaker 1: daks certainly pay off that QB five a DP, but
Speaker 1: just too much risk from me there. And one of
Speaker 1: the deepest quarterback classes and fantasy football that I can
Speaker 1: remember in many many years. You guys picked um high
Speaker 1: end quarterbacks that you won't take and part be and
Speaker 1: I'm sure eventually if they were available in your draft
Speaker 1: you would take both of those guys. The guy that
Speaker 1: I have not ended up in with any draft, in
Speaker 1: any draft is Ben Roethlisberger, and the the overriding premises
Speaker 1: I'd rather get out a year too early on a
Speaker 1: player in at the very very bitter end of his
Speaker 1: career than a year too late now in fairness to Ben,
Speaker 1: he's I think he's looked fine in the preseason, but
Speaker 1: it's his eighteenth year. He's teetering uncooked. He played badly
Speaker 1: for stretches of last year, and the arm was clearly
Speaker 1: degraded from earlier versions of what we had seen from Ben.
Speaker 1: He didn't throw deep like he used to. He had
Speaker 1: the fifth shortest average intended air yards last year. When
Speaker 1: we think of Ben, we think of the big statue
Speaker 1: sitting in the pocket, maybe sliding a little bit, and
Speaker 1: then throwing lasers downfield. That's not who Ben ruzz at
Speaker 1: least not last year. He had the shortest time to
Speaker 1: pass last season, and the offensive line is worse this year.
Speaker 1: I'm very worried about that. So for me, there's just up.
Speaker 1: There's just a lot of worry about where Ben is
Speaker 1: in his career arc and where he is in this offense,
Speaker 1: even though surrounded by receiving weapons. I love the addition
Speaker 1: of Naji Harris. It will take a heat off of Ben.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's gonna have a bad year, but I'm,
Speaker 1: you know, for where he's getting taken. I'm rolling the
Speaker 1: dice on other guys. Let's continue with the blacklist guys
Speaker 1: we will not draft. Let's move to the running back position, Scott,
Speaker 1: who won't you draft? Similar to your Ben picked. David
Speaker 1: Johnson is just a guy I will not have on
Speaker 1: a single team. If Philip Lindsay is running as the starter,
Speaker 1: Lindsay and mark Ingram are listed as the starters, Yet
Speaker 1: David Johnson is going as RB thirty nine in the
Speaker 1: ninth rout and people are drafting him as the starter
Speaker 1: just because name value. Maybe I guess, I don't know, laziness. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's Philip Lindsay. I'm okay with taking Philip Lindsay four
Speaker 1: rounds later because he's going in the thirteenth. I don't
Speaker 1: even love that because we don't know what the goal
Speaker 1: line work is gonna be. That team is gonna always
Speaker 1: be in a negative game script. But David Johnson in
Speaker 1: the ninth is just crazy. Just don't take any Texas
Speaker 1: really really or Texans also known as Texas. I like
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks, alright, that's fair. I reached around on Brandon
Speaker 1: Cook's list. Nico Collins, I'm interested in coins. They'll they'll
Speaker 1: be throwing. We just don't know who's gonna be throwing.
Speaker 1: But they'll be throwing down in Texas. You'll go Nico Collins.
Speaker 1: I'll go Byron Pringle by draft to bring him back
Speaker 1: up again, because apparently I've got to be the only
Speaker 1: guy talking about Byron Pringle. All right, who's the running back?
Speaker 1: You will not draft Bryan even though a couple of
Speaker 1: months ago he was basically going as a top five,
Speaker 1: top six overall pick, and now is his stock is
Speaker 1: pummeted to the mid second round. I'm still not taking
Speaker 1: se Kwon Barkley there, Uh, in the mid second. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I take him, even if he came
Speaker 1: back to me in the third. I just don't trust
Speaker 1: him at this point. I don't trust the knee. Unlikely
Speaker 1: he's gonna start the season at least, certainly don't trust
Speaker 1: the offensive line in New Jersey for the Giants going
Speaker 1: into this year, Pro Football Focus has them ranked thirty
Speaker 1: second dead last among all units. And uh, there's no
Speaker 1: nothing to keep opposing defensive defense is honest. It's certainly
Speaker 1: not Daniel Jones. They signed Kenny Galladay. He's not looking
Speaker 1: like he's gonna be ready to go. Uh week going,
Speaker 1: He's probably be banged up all year. I'm just I'm
Speaker 1: just out on se Kwon Barkley entirely, uh for this year,
Speaker 1: terrible offensive line in New York and into at least
Speaker 1: they've tried to fix it right. They've thrown draft picks
Speaker 1: at it, they've thrown expensive free agents at it. None
Speaker 1: of it's worked. And that's been an ongoing concern of
Speaker 1: mine with say Kawon Barkley, and I'm with you on that.
Speaker 1: The running back I have rostered in none of my
Speaker 1: leagues to this point is Josh Jacobs. I want my
Speaker 1: running backs to excel at some component of the game.
Speaker 1: I want you to be good at something right, and
Speaker 1: I wanted ideally to like match my scoring system in
Speaker 1: some way, you know, catch a lot of passes in
Speaker 1: a PPR league, score touchdowns in a touchdown heavy league.
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs don't do any thing that matches any scoring
Speaker 1: system that I'm in. He's average just two catches per
Speaker 1: game last year. He converted just six of twenty one
Speaker 1: carries from inside the five yard line. We touched on
Speaker 1: this earlier in the show. That's a wolf percent efficiency mark,
Speaker 1: and it opens up the door for Kenyan Drake. I
Speaker 1: don't want to have to sweat that backfield. I want
Speaker 1: no part of Josh Jacobs. Let's move over to the
Speaker 1: wide receiver position. Scott, who is the wide receiver you
Speaker 1: will not draft? Yeah, it's it's Tyler Lockett. I just
Speaker 1: can't do it. He's he's just too inconsistent. Last year
Speaker 1: he had four games over seventy yards. That's it. Eight
Speaker 1: of his ten touchdowns came in three games. Uh, going
Speaker 1: in the same round as a bunch of guys I
Speaker 1: would rather have like Cup and Woods and d J.
Speaker 1: Moore and Auke and Higgins and even around later at
Speaker 1: Claypool Um the year before. Even in twin four of
Speaker 1: his games made up forty nine point eight percent of
Speaker 1: his fantasy points, nearly half his fantasy points in just
Speaker 1: four games. That means he's killing knew the rest of
Speaker 1: the games. I can't have that. No, you're right, that's
Speaker 1: that is a that is a disaster. When Tyler Lockett
Speaker 1: does not score, he kills your team. And by the way,
Speaker 1: in a guillotine league, they kill your team. Part is
Speaker 1: very literal. He will kill your team that way. I God,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see if I can quick pull this up.
Speaker 1: I think I've got a Tyler Lockett stat for you
Speaker 1: to back this up. They also added Dwayne Scretch is
Speaker 1: a better third option than they've had over the last
Speaker 1: few years, and pet Pete Sunshine wants to run more.
Speaker 1: He always wants to run more, so unfortunately don't have
Speaker 1: it his non I believe I'm gonna off top my head.
Speaker 1: So this is not perfect. Tyler Lockett's non touchdown games
Speaker 1: average like three catches thirty yards. That's not really bad.
Speaker 1: It's bad. Brian, who's the wide receiver you will not draft.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bend the rules a little bit here and
Speaker 1: give you a two for a two for one. I'm
Speaker 1: not taking Seedee Lamb or a Marii Cooper this year
Speaker 1: because they're essentially going off the board at the same spot.
Speaker 1: You'll see see Lamb usually going first around a wider
Speaker 1: ever twelve thirteen, then Cooper. I've seen Cooper go and
Speaker 1: the pick right after Ceedee Lamb, and just to me,
Speaker 1: both of those guys cannot live up to that a DP.
Speaker 1: One of them is gonna falter, and I don't know
Speaker 1: which one it is. This yere, we we all love
Speaker 1: Lamb more moving forward in the future, of course, we
Speaker 1: just talked about that in the last segment, but for
Speaker 1: this year. You know, I just mentioned I'm a little
Speaker 1: if you on Doc as well, and we also talked
Speaker 1: about Michael Gallup still in town. He's gonna steal targets
Speaker 1: from both of those guys. I just don't see how
Speaker 1: both of them could live up to such a high
Speaker 1: a DPS. So I'm just gonna avoid that coin flip entirely,
Speaker 1: and I'm not drafting either in redrafts. Here on our
Speaker 1: button bar for sounds, we have a peacock, a bear,
Speaker 1: an art vark, a mongoose, a horse, a crow, a turkey,
Speaker 1: a duck, and tree. And we don't have a lamb.
Speaker 1: And there's a player called ceedee lamb. It's a beat,
Speaker 1: it's a bleat. Is that a lamb? That's also a lamb?
Speaker 1: That's the That's a nice tim Next show, we need
Speaker 1: a lamb. Thank you, new producer. Guys like what the
Speaker 1: wide receiver that I am not drafting is Juju Smith Schuster.
Speaker 1: This was I made the strong case against him last year,
Speaker 1: got validated. I'm going back to the well this The
Speaker 1: issue for Juju is his lack of depth of target
Speaker 1: and his yards after the catch. He catches short passes
Speaker 1: and then gets tackled quickly. He has the second shortest
Speaker 1: average depth of target last year, just five point eight
Speaker 1: yards according to next Gen Stats. He turned one hundred
Speaker 1: twenty eight targets last year into eight hundred yards. That's it.
Speaker 1: This is a major reversal for Juju Smith Schuster. Remember
Speaker 1: those first couple of years, dude was just like he was.
Speaker 1: He was slicing through the middle of the field. The
Speaker 1: big then big arm to bend was sending these lasers
Speaker 1: down field to him. And hey god, it's just not
Speaker 1: that way anymore. And what's more, when jud Smith Srster
Speaker 1: does not score his average line over the last two years,
Speaker 1: when he does not score three catches thirty two yards
Speaker 1: and no score, I mean destroying your team him. Unlock it.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Yes, we all picked quarterback wide
Speaker 1: receiver combos. Yeah we did. Actually didn't intentionally do that.
Speaker 1: I didn't either. Um let's go to the tight end position.
Speaker 1: Who's a tight end? Scott you will not draft It's
Speaker 1: it's got to be Dallas Goddard. He's currently going to
Speaker 1: his tight end eight end of the eighth round, which
Speaker 1: is just it's insane. I mean, he might get a
Speaker 1: time he might get a decent amount of volume, but
Speaker 1: that was his price when everybody thought Earth's was gonna
Speaker 1: go away. And Earth hasn't left, and that price has
Speaker 1: not changed yet. He's going ahead of or in the
Speaker 1: same range as guys that I like a lot, more
Speaker 1: like Logan Thomas or Noah Fan or Robert Tonyan. He's
Speaker 1: going way ahead of John new Smith. I had a Higbie.
Speaker 1: There are guys that just rather have than Goddard and
Speaker 1: his you know, his role in that offense, at least
Speaker 1: with Earth's there makes sense. Bryan, who's the tight end
Speaker 1: you will not draft? Well? I love the guy, probably
Speaker 1: the best all around tight end in the NFL. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's George Kittle, But I can't take him in fantasy football.
Speaker 1: Fantasy football this year as tight end three. Really going
Speaker 1: late second, early third round. Uh, for a guy that's
Speaker 1: only played one full season in his four year career.
Speaker 1: He's just so good at everything blocking. He's just such
Speaker 1: a violent player that it's it's hard for him to
Speaker 1: stay healthy. Uh. He's just going way too early for me.
Speaker 1: And now Brandon Iuke and Deebo Samuel are emerging stars
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position. The three of them have
Speaker 1: never really played together when fully healthy and now with
Speaker 1: a good quarterback, and yeah, there's gonna be a change
Speaker 1: of quarterback at some point. They're gonna go from Jimmy
Speaker 1: g To to Trey Lance. So I'm just Kittle's going
Speaker 1: way too high. I can get uh my boy Kyle
Speaker 1: Pitts around later. And I have a feelings someone's about
Speaker 1: to poopoo on this. I take, but uh fading Kittle
Speaker 1: all in on Pits. It's a battle that will last
Speaker 1: this year for sure. My co host Brian Johnson shares
Speaker 1: the opinion of most fantasy analysts that Kyle Pitts. They
Speaker 1: should be carving the bust in Canton right now for
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts and that he will have a historic rookie
Speaker 1: tight end year. I will be more reason than that.
Speaker 1: Here's the Kyle Pitts storyline nobody wants to hear and
Speaker 1: nobody is talking about. There is way more variation impossible
Speaker 1: outcomes than most people are willing to acknowledge. Even though
Speaker 1: he's a great talent, if he lines up outside as
Speaker 1: a standing wide receiver for the entirety of this year,
Speaker 1: I like his prospects to have a fine rookie season.
Speaker 1: But if he doesn't do that, or only does that sometime,
Speaker 1: I don't think that. I don't think he can perform
Speaker 1: nearly to the level people expect as a true tight end.
Speaker 1: This thing gets very complicated. Hayden Hurst is a good
Speaker 1: player who the team acquired at a sizeable cost second
Speaker 1: and fifth round picks just one year ago. Hurst will
Speaker 1: likely frustrate fantasy owners with a playing time, especially in
Speaker 1: the first half of the season. And Hurst is a
Speaker 1: good pass blocker. They will want to keep Hurst in
Speaker 1: to keep Matt Ryan upright. You can trust his blocking.
Speaker 1: They may not know that they can do that with
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts. And we know from years with playing fantasy
Speaker 1: we love our rookies. We love the shiny new toys
Speaker 1: more than the coaches do. The coaches are always way
Speaker 1: slower to bring guys on the field than we want
Speaker 1: them to. Also, there's the long history of tight end
Speaker 1: rookie failures. And I know, if you've heard this show before,
Speaker 1: you've heard these stats before, but I'm rolling them out
Speaker 1: anyway because it's awfully important. Over the last two decades,
Speaker 1: the average first round rookie tight end has finished as
Speaker 1: tight end thirty two thirty catches, fifty yards and two
Speaker 1: scores for the season, three hundred fifty yards and two
Speaker 1: scores for the season. Then if we isolate it down
Speaker 1: to the primo tight ends guys taken in the first
Speaker 1: ten picks of the draft over the last two decades,
Speaker 1: these are the best of the best tight ends. There's
Speaker 1: somehow worse averaging is tight end fifty with twenty catches
Speaker 1: and two hundred thirty yards and one touchdown. That's it.
Speaker 1: He's got a buck, a lot of trends and maybe
Speaker 1: he'll do it. And Brian Johnson, you're gonna have every
Speaker 1: opportunity to prove me wrong over the course of this season. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm just showing, being the voice of reason. I do
Speaker 1: think those are a lot of tight end trends. I
Speaker 1: think the way a Cole Pitts truth can justified as
Speaker 1: make him a receiver. And Russell Gauge last year was
Speaker 1: the third receiving option in that offense. His stat line
Speaker 1: would have been good for tight end three last year.
Speaker 1: Does Russell Gauge play tight end? That No, That's why
Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. He doesn't play receiving
Speaker 1: options I'm just saying Pitts will be the second receiving
Speaker 1: option in that offense. It's possible he's the new Julio,
Speaker 1: but one that will be utilized in the red zone.
Speaker 1: When we come back, the running back traits of a
Speaker 1: bust What do you have to look for to idea
Speaker 1: bust running back before it happens? We'll tell you that
Speaker 1: and unleash our sleepers of the week. Stay tuned Fantasy

Speaker 1: this segment, final segment, The Traits of a bust running
Speaker 1: back Brian and then we'll do we'll hit on our
Speaker 1: sleepers of the week as well. Um a couple of
Speaker 1: shows ago, and it was two shows ago, or maybe
Speaker 1: it's just last week, we talked about the traits of
Speaker 1: a sleeper running back. Now we're gonna flip it over
Speaker 1: what are the what are the things that tie together
Speaker 1: some of the bust running backs. Yeah, we came up
Speaker 1: with with three traits, and we'll get to them all
Speaker 1: of course, But to kick it off, we we went
Speaker 1: back and looked at six years of data running back data,
Speaker 1: and by data, we looked at uh running backs that
Speaker 1: were drafted in the first three rounds of fantasy drafts
Speaker 1: but did not return value. And by that I mean
Speaker 1: they didn't not finish as a top twenty four running back.
Speaker 1: So you're drafted the first three rounds but did not
Speaker 1: return top twenty four. I think it's a very fair
Speaker 1: metric for a bust because you're drafting in the top
Speaker 1: three rounds, you're getting you're hoping to get, you're expecting
Speaker 1: to get RB one or RB two performance, you know,
Speaker 1: a starters performance, and you didn't get that. You gotta
Speaker 1: best of flax or maybe worse. Now, over the last
Speaker 1: six years, as I mentioned, we found thirty five instances
Speaker 1: of this happening. Running backs busting after being picked in
Speaker 1: the top three rounds. Of those thirty five bus were
Speaker 1: mostly due to injury. But that happens, and that that's
Speaker 1: that's something we'll talk about for sure, but the other
Speaker 1: ten were due to non injury circumstances. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: go through these traits and hopefully avoid uh those running
Speaker 1: backs this year. We don't want to bust at running
Speaker 1: back um first bus I'm sorry, first trade of a
Speaker 1: bus running back mileage of course. Yeah, running backs that
Speaker 1: I've had over career carries get injured at a significantly
Speaker 1: higher rate UM over the last six years. Uh. Five
Speaker 1: of the injured runners in question um, although five the
Speaker 1: injured runners about to talk about have over career carry
Speaker 1: so so let's get to these guys. I'm not so
Speaker 1: sure people are targeting mark Ingram so much this year,
Speaker 1: but he's in the mix. He has almost sixteen hundred
Speaker 1: career carries, which is kind of surprising because he's always
Speaker 1: kind of been in a shared backfield situation. That seems
Speaker 1: like with the Ravens um mark Ingram with with the Texans. Now,
Speaker 1: of course, uh they have who knows what to make
Speaker 1: of this Texans depth charted running back Fish alluded earlier
Speaker 1: that Lindsay's on top of it might be Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: not a bus, He's not even asleep. Reason is entire
Speaker 1: bus entirely you don't you don't want mark Ingram this year?
Speaker 1: Is Zekiel Elliott? Now now we're talking. Now, we're talking.
Speaker 1: So when you're gonna draft early on in your drafts,
Speaker 1: almost sixteen hundred carries for Zeke, that's a lot of
Speaker 1: use and only what four five years? UH mentioned last
Speaker 1: year offensive line very uh decimated that they should be
Speaker 1: back to full form, But I don't know. Fourteen hundred
Speaker 1: carries for Zeke Tony Pollard? You are excited about Tony
Speaker 1: Pollard that charge. So right there, Zeke straight one of
Speaker 1: a running back bust, as does Melvin Gordon. Um not
Speaker 1: really going in the first three rounds, but some people
Speaker 1: believe he'll be the starter for the Broncos. Probably start
Speaker 1: with almost carries for Melvin Gordon, though well over that
Speaker 1: threshold in Javonte Williams, rookie out of North Carolina, more
Speaker 1: than ready to take that job from Melvin Gordon. So
Speaker 1: for me, Gordon is a guy I'm completely fading. I'll
Speaker 1: target Javonte Williams later on, but it's not like I
Speaker 1: want to get Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams. I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm all out on Gordon. I know where you guys stand.
Speaker 1: On that, and then I like that you spoke up
Speaker 1: for me. I know you, I know you. You're out Now.
Speaker 1: Everyone is concerned about when Derrick Henry is gonna fall
Speaker 1: off the cliff. Some think it's this year. It's not right.
Speaker 1: But he's only had eleven eighty two carries. He hasn't
Speaker 1: hit that twelve hundred car a watermark. So can I
Speaker 1: make a counterpoint on him? No running back that hit
Speaker 1: two thousand yards his top hundred the following year and
Speaker 1: most of them are way way below that. He doesn't
Speaker 1: get receptions. Adrian Peterson's two thousand yard year, he you
Speaker 1: know where his year or whatever after that, he lost
Speaker 1: like seven hundred yards the next year. Yeah. Darrington Evans
Speaker 1: a guy we've mentioned on the show a lot. I
Speaker 1: think he didn't really get any work last year. No
Speaker 1: one really did at the running back position outside of
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. But that kind of feels like they're gonna
Speaker 1: change that philosophy and in Tennessee and uh, keep Henry
Speaker 1: healthy a little longer, especially for an expected playoff run,
Speaker 1: deep playoff run that they have in Tennessee. So that's
Speaker 1: it for trade number one mileage now trade number two
Speaker 1: for a running backbust is players on a new team,
Speaker 1: either moving in the off season or traded during camp
Speaker 1: or the season. Uh. Once these players go to a
Speaker 1: new team, the fantasy industry misidentifies them as lead running back.
Speaker 1: So let's see if we can find any running backs
Speaker 1: I'll fit. Uh. These trades and guys in the past
Speaker 1: big names, we were expected them to be RB one's,
Speaker 1: r B two's Levian Bell when he went to the Jets,
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, even when he went to the Fountains, people
Speaker 1: still had some belief with Todd Gurley. Leonard Fournette everyone
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna be the lead back for Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay was kind of in a time share there. So
Speaker 1: let's look at the guys on new teams this year.
Speaker 1: The first one, the most glaring example, is Mike Davis
Speaker 1: in Atlanta UM taking over for Todd Gurley. Uh. Davis
Speaker 1: is in his seventh season, kind of a journeyman, UM,
Speaker 1: but as of now, he looks like the lead guy
Speaker 1: we talked about. In the inside the five segment, Gurley
Speaker 1: had seventeen rushes inside the five, which is a lot.
Speaker 1: So they all like they're going to Mike Davis as
Speaker 1: of right now. But if they bring in another back,
Speaker 1: that would uh certainly lean to uh Mike Davis busting.
Speaker 1: But I don't know where you guys stand on Davis.
Speaker 1: He's not going super high or super late. But do
Speaker 1: you think he returns RB two value, which is what
Speaker 1: people are expecting? I think so yes. I feel like
Speaker 1: there's just nobody else that's gonna that's gonna interrupt him
Speaker 1: getting a fair amount of work here, even if he's
Speaker 1: not a special player. Uh. As we know, fantasy football
Speaker 1: is more about opportunity than talent. The next guy at
Speaker 1: the new next running back in a new place. James
Speaker 1: Conner was one was two of the thirty five names
Speaker 1: on the overall list of BUS in the last six
Speaker 1: years already, so he's already hit this criteria and other
Speaker 1: other areas. But now he's on in the new team trade.
Speaker 1: We talked about the Cardinals inside the five earlier in
Speaker 1: the in the show where um Kenyan Drake had twenty
Speaker 1: two carries inside the five yard line to chase Edmonds one.
Speaker 1: So will they all go to James Conner. We'll see, uh,
Speaker 1: But the writing is on the wall sort of. Connor
Speaker 1: has had an injury history in the past, there's some
Speaker 1: mileage there. That's trade number one. Trade number two. He's
Speaker 1: on a new team, So people expecting Connor to be
Speaker 1: the RB one in Arizona not so sure. I think
Speaker 1: I would still lean Chase Edmonds even though he's going
Speaker 1: a little earlier in draft. So there's trade number two.
Speaker 1: Players on a new team. You might want to avoid
Speaker 1: any running back on a new team this year because
Speaker 1: it generally does not work out well. And now the
Speaker 1: last trade identified by our Matt Harrison is the running
Speaker 1: back is just not a proven good player just because happens.
Speaker 1: We think a guy's a good player, but he hasn't
Speaker 1: proven it and we're wrong. That happens a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you see limited work, then the door opens up to
Speaker 1: essentially a full time gig and we all make the
Speaker 1: assumption this guy is gonna be a bell cow back
Speaker 1: and I'm getting him to steal at an RV two rates.
Speaker 1: So let's look at UH guys that look to be
Speaker 1: lead backs, but they're not proven to be good players yet.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna go back to to Darryl Henderson with
Speaker 1: the Rams. UH last year lost significant touches to Malcolm
Speaker 1: Brown the last two years. Really UH primarily at the
Speaker 1: stripe two, which is concerning for Henderson. You want him
Speaker 1: to be getting those goal line carries. They did draft
Speaker 1: Cam Akers to be the lead back last year. Of course,
Speaker 1: Acres is out this year, so they lost belief in
Speaker 1: Darryl Henderson pretty much. It seemed like they did bring
Speaker 1: in Sony Michelle. We're all not too concerned with Sony Michelle.
Speaker 1: But again, Darryl Henderson not a proven guy. They can
Speaker 1: handle a ton of work, and just not proven elite
Speaker 1: good running back, so time will tell with him. Now,
Speaker 1: another guy on the list here, and I'm gonna throw
Speaker 1: him at under the bus because I don't agree with
Speaker 1: this one and I don't think Fish will. But Miles
Speaker 1: Gaskin looks to be the lead running back in Miami. Granted,
Speaker 1: not a proven good player yet, but he's looked good
Speaker 1: on tape. But he's a seventh round pick. A former
Speaker 1: seventh round pick um only average four point one yards
Speaker 1: per carry last year. So we need to see a
Speaker 1: full season out of Miles gas and he does fit
Speaker 1: the and he's he's going in the third late third round.
Speaker 1: He's getting drafted as an RB two started running back
Speaker 1: of most teams, So a guy you want to be
Speaker 1: a little worried about. Miles Gaskin and uh, lastly, Michael
Speaker 1: Carter for the Jets, rookie running back. That look it's
Speaker 1: like uh, full on three man platoon to me, some
Speaker 1: people think Carter runs away. I think because because the
Speaker 1: guy everybody else has no talent and he might be talented.
Speaker 1: He might be, but he just might just be a
Speaker 1: warm body. He was a fourth round pick. He wasn't,
Speaker 1: you know, highly touted coming out of college. There's a
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback for the Jets, as we all know, new
Speaker 1: coaching staff. So Michael Carter, unproven rookie, not a proven
Speaker 1: good player, might have opportunity, but he he fits the
Speaker 1: third trade of a running back busts. So all right, guy,
Speaker 1: we're not too excited about. Thank you, Brian. And it's
Speaker 1: just a Matt Harrison who put together a lot of
Speaker 1: that data for us. The you mentioned the Jets and
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback. Zach Wilson looks good. He looks good.
Speaker 1: You know, you get rid of Adam Gates, you put
Speaker 1: two first round picks on an offensive line, you add
Speaker 1: in Zach Wilson. He's got capable targets to throw too.
Speaker 1: Jets are going to be an ascending offense, which is,
Speaker 1: you know, they were the worst offensive league last year.
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying a lot. Obviously they'll get better, um,
Speaker 1: but I think people have just you know, we're so
Speaker 1: used to the Jets being so bad for so long
Speaker 1: that I think some people are missing the boat on
Speaker 1: how on how this, how quickly this offense could return
Speaker 1: to competency. I saw something interesting where a couple of
Speaker 1: months ago, if you haven't heard by now, Corey Davis
Speaker 1: and Zach Wilson are like BFFs. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: Lake Wilson is just locking on Corey Davis. But you
Speaker 1: were getting people were drafting Elijah More in the ninth
Speaker 1: round and Corey Davis and like the fifteenth round a
Speaker 1: couple of months ago that is completely flip flopped. Now
Speaker 1: he was seeing Corey Davis go eighth, ninth round and
Speaker 1: Elijah More. So yeah, it's crazy. Let's go to our
Speaker 1: sleepers for this week, beginning with Scott Fish who you
Speaker 1: who are you unveiling? Let's just stick with what we're
Speaker 1: talking about, because my guy is Elijah More. I think
Speaker 1: he's paired up with I did not mean to do that.
Speaker 1: Sending quarterback and ascending offense has been lighting up camp.
Speaker 1: He had he had a slight injury for a little bit,
Speaker 1: and then he came back at lightning up camp again. Um,
Speaker 1: that quad injury didn't slow him down. And really, who's
Speaker 1: gonna catch passes there? It's gonna be Corey Davis, and
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Elijah Moore in a lot of negot
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder did. My worry is that Jamison crowd is
Speaker 1: a slot guy and Eliza Moore is a slot guy.
Speaker 1: So that's that's why I've been That's why I've been
Speaker 1: lukewarm on Elijah Moore here, that he's been playing all
Speaker 1: over so far as I need him to play outside,
Speaker 1: and obviously Corey Davis plays outside, so I'm not worried
Speaker 1: about that part. I assume at some point Denzel Mims
Speaker 1: will play outside. I just I don't know Denzel stays
Speaker 1: on the team. He's like, he's like he's way behind
Speaker 1: in the fact in order. Now, my sleeper this week
Speaker 1: is Will Fuller, the player nobody wants slumping to wide
Speaker 1: receiver fifty one straff position. Well, probably not. He's out
Speaker 1: Week one with the he's out, he's still out Week one.
Speaker 1: He's going off the board in Round twelve. Wide receiver
Speaker 1: fifty one. How come, Well, there's injury history and a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago he did have his foot foot
Speaker 1: injury dinged up. But he's return to practice. He's got
Speaker 1: the week one suspension stemming from last year's p e
Speaker 1: D bust. But let's just rewind the clock to last year.
Speaker 1: It's week twelve, right before the pe D bust happens.
Speaker 1: Will Fuller is wide receiver ten when his season ends. Ten.
Speaker 1: He's ahead of Keenan, Allen, Tyler Lockett, Allen Robinson, Calvin Ridley,
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup, Robert Woods, and Adam Feeling. It was finally
Speaker 1: the year. It was finally the year. This year, well, no, look,
Speaker 1: I just wide receiver fifty one. He was again. He
Speaker 1: was wide receiver ten last year. Now he had scored
Speaker 1: eight times in eleven games. He led the NFL and
Speaker 1: yards per target last year. And jose Canseco was a
Speaker 1: great baseball player too when he was right. I'd like
Speaker 1: to think that's not a factor here. Now he does
Speaker 1: get a downgraded quarterback from Deshaun Watson to Tah but
Speaker 1: nevertheless to a probably gets better in year two. Jay
Speaker 1: Waddle probably needs a full year before he's a major threat.
Speaker 1: The Miami running game is middling, as we've talked about before,
Speaker 1: and for a guy who was tarnished by the injury
Speaker 1: prone tag, Fuller didn't miss a game last year with injury.
Speaker 1: He missed the games eventually with the p D suspension,
Speaker 1: but he had played the full season to that point.
Speaker 1: I just think wide receiver fifty one and round twelve
Speaker 1: is just too late for will Fuller. Bryan, who is
Speaker 1: your sleeper this week? You know I love me some
Speaker 1: tight ends and I gotta I gotta pump Donald Parham
Speaker 1: tight end for the San Diego I'm sorry, Los Angeles
Speaker 1: Chargers now technically the backup tight end to Jared Cook,
Speaker 1: who is acquired by the Chargers in the off season,
Speaker 1: but reports at a camp are they're utilizing Cook and
Speaker 1: bar him on the field at the same time and
Speaker 1: part him is kind of getting the poor man's Kyle
Speaker 1: Pets usage, whether they're lining him up on the outside
Speaker 1: uh end in the slot primarily within the inside the
Speaker 1: twenty yard line. And speaking of injury prone, Mike Williams
Speaker 1: never stays healthy for the Chargers. Keenan Allen, I'm not
Speaker 1: wishing anything bad on these guys. Two misses a gamer two.
Speaker 1: He also lied to us about whether or not we
Speaker 1: could start him in our fantasy leagues. And Donald Parham
Speaker 1: on the up and he's an up and coming star
Speaker 1: x former XFL star, six ft eight nuts. How do
Speaker 1: you cover that in the end zone? He justin air
Speaker 1: Bear is gonna be looking Donald Parham's way more often
Speaker 1: than not, more often than you think, uh this year.
Speaker 1: So he's a deep sleeper that's gonna He's gonna bubble
Speaker 1: up to the top two. Keen Brown's only missed two
Speaker 1: games the last four years. It feels like feel It
Speaker 1: does feel like a lot of weekends questionable. He's always
Speaker 1: on the injury report though. We're all trying to find
Speaker 1: Chargers with value, right because we all want charges. So
Speaker 1: I want to be part of this off. I had
Speaker 1: Tyron Johnson last week was my sleeper. There's one guy
Speaker 1: nobody's talking about, Michael Badgeley, And I know we almost
Speaker 1: never talked kickers. Michael Badgeley, who was He was wildely inaccurate.
Speaker 1: He missed he two years ago. We didn't finish the
Speaker 1: season he got her and then this last year twenty
Speaker 1: he was inaccurate. But he's pretty much wrapped up that
Speaker 1: competition there to stay. He might be somebody and kicker
Speaker 1: leagues that you want to you know, if you're trying
Speaker 1: to you want a piece of the chargers, you don't
Speaker 1: have to pay the heavy price that they're all going
Speaker 1: for right now. That might be a guy you could consider. Uh.
