00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, and

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: whatever stupid stuff they decide to drop into the show. Now,

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 2: here's your host, Paul Chargion.

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Charchian. My

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: co hosts have for a long absence, abnormally long absence.

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson, Welcome back. It's been a couple of months,

9
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: it has.

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 3: But uh, understandably so I've been off the show because

11
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 3: it's been Thoris.

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: It's sad. It was really Thor season, absolutely.

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: And uh, no one can break down the rookies in

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 3: the business better than Thor. And we're gonna mention some

15
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 3: rookies on this episode at some point, but I'm not

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 3: gonna I'm not gonna dive into it. People just go

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: back and listen to those episodes if they want to. Yeah,

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 3: get a real breakdown of the rookies, because no one

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: does it better than Thor again, the in the whole industry.

20
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's He's become one of the best already

21
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: and our listeners have already already been paid on a

22
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: lot of thors insight last year, and I think he's

23
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: had a great officers. We'll find out. I mean, if

24
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy bombs that alone, will we'll end up either

25
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: that'll move him down a peg. But if JJ hits,

26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna look brilliant. I mean he had he had

27
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: JJ's his number three quarterback overall.

28
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 3: He was right on JJ. And this is we don't

29
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 3: know that yet, We don't know that, we don't know yet. Well,

30
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 3: he was right that his stock was way too low at.

31
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: The beginning of the guess at the beginning of the process.

32
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: Yes, but now JJ in my mind, and again this

33
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: is no knock on JJ McCarthy. And I don't want

34
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 3: to get too into the weeds on this, but he's

35
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 3: gonna have to wait a little bit because Sam Darnold

36
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 3: is going to turn some heads chart.

37
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: See, I know you believe that, and there are a

38
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: lot of people in Minnesota who do right. Briefly, make

39
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: your case.

40
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 3: I mean, this is his first real shot. That's basically

41
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: it at a at a real no one if you

42
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: put any quarterback in a time machine forward put him

43
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 3: on the jets with Adam Gasee as his head coach,

44
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: a twenty year old kid going to the Jets, Like,

45
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: who's going to succeed in that environment? And then they

46
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 3: go to and he goes to Carolina. I'm blanket on

47
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 3: the head coach there, but I mean it was just

48
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: a disaster. But you know, Shanahan, Mike Shanahan, the head

49
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: coach of the forty nine ers, and trust that Donald

50
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 3: is the backup. And there's a good shot that you know,

51
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: brock Purty wasn't going to be ready to start the

52
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 3: season last year with the elbow injury, and he was

53
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 3: ready to roll with Donald. The Vikings are ready to

54
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: roll with Donald. They weren't guaranteed to get a quarterback.

55
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 3: They have faith in him, and hey, he's an athlete,

56
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: he's twenty six years old, He's got Justin Jefferson and

57
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: a bunch of other weapons we know about. So I

58
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 3: want to I'm excited to see what he can do.

59
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 3: And if you can't do it, then it's JJ time. Obviously.

60
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sam, Sam will be the first one up. I

61
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: believe he'll start the season week one for the Vikings,

62
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: and you know he gets to throw to Justin Jefferson,

63
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: probably not TJ. Howkins, in Week one, probably not, but

64
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison we're gonna see a little more. We're gonna

65
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: see some more throws of the running back in Minnesota.

66
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones can catch in a way that the Viking

67
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: seven had in a long time. Sam Darnold's had fifty

68
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: six games started. I mean, it's not like we don't

69
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: know anything about him, but this is the best spot

70
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: that he's ever been in by a wide margin, for

71
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: in terms of ancillary talent, for sure. But this is

72
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: not necessarily a Sam Donald related show. Let's jump. Let's

73
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: get into the topic of the day, which is, you know,

74
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: draft is over. We now from a fantasy standpoint, in particular,

75
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of what we need to know in

76
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: terms of the rosters are now set going into at

77
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: least training camp and in many ways all the way

78
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: into the beginning of the season. So we're gonna start

79
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: highlighting every NFL team beginning this week. We're gonna do

80
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: the AFC and NFC East Today. We'll talk about some

81
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: of the key differences from last year on each of

82
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: these AFC and NFC East teams till you think they're

83
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: gonna get better or worse, And we begin with the

84
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Brian Let's break down the Bills offseason. It

85
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: was a tumultuous one.

86
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, lots of changes in Buffalo. Let's dive right

87
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: into the passing game as most No gone is Stefan

88
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 3: Diggs and to a lesser extent of fantasy relevance, Gabe Davis,

89
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 3: who's now in Jacksonville. Diggs in Houston, of course, so

90
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 3: incomes Curtis Samuel from Washington. They drafted rookie Keon Coleman

91
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: pretty high in the draft, I believe late first round,

92
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 3: if not, no early second round. Second ye yeah, like

93
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: the first pick in the second round. Yep. Khalil Shakir

94
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 3: remains from last year. Buffalo also signed Marquez Valdez Scantling.

95
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: We're not too interested there, which leaves really so there's

96
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 3: no alpha wide receiver in Buffalo anymore by any means.

97
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: Curtis Samuel right now in early drafts wide receiver forty nine,

98
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 3: rookie Keon Coleman wide receiver forty. Shakira is wide receiver

99
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 3: fifty five. So a very stack friendly team. If you're

100
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: looking to stack the Bills in best ball, you know,

101
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: if you get.

102
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: You can certainly do it if you want to, right.

103
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. Josh Allen Clearcut quarterback one. He was finished.

104
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 3: Last year's QB one is getting drafted as QB one.

105
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 3: I don't see that changing. But I mean the alpha

106
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: dog in the passing game is tight end Dalton Kincaid. Yeah,

107
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 3: I'm must be a top wide receiver.

108
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: YEP. I was wondering if you were going to go there.

109
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: He could be sitting on eighty ninety catch season for

110
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: Dalton Kincaid.

111
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was. He was solid last year as a rookie.

112
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 3: Of course, you don't see a lot of Brookies have

113
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: success at the tight end position, but he's really more

114
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 3: of a hybrid wide receiver in the line of you know,

115
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey, by boy Kyle Pitts. But right now, Dalton Kincaid,

116
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 3: he's getting drafted head of Mark Andrews. He's going his

117
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 3: tight end four inside the top fifty picks overall, So

118
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 3: you know, he's one of the I'm not I think

119
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 3: the price tags on guys like Sam Laporta, he's tight

120
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: end one, Travis Kelcey are pretty high. I would bypass

121
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: those guys for guys like Kincaid, and I'm just gonna

122
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 3: focus on Kinkaid. I like trade McBride a lot until

123
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: they drafted Marvin Harrison junior. But right now I think

124
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 3: Dalton Kinkaid has the highest prospects of all the tight

125
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 3: ends based on him being the top receiver A on

126
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: the team and he can get him his tight end

127
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 3: for so but really, you know, this passing game, it's

128
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 3: it's all about Josh Allen. He's gonna be spreading the

129
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: ball around. I will I'm not going out of my

130
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: way to draft Samuel Coleman or Shakir because right now,

131
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 3: based on their ADPs, they're not their flex guys at best.

132
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 3: It's all about Kincaid and Allen in the passing game.

133
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 3: Over to the running game, things have changed there in

134
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 3: terms of backups, leaving James Cook still remains. He is

135
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 3: the lead back. He's going off the board as RB

136
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 3: thirteen right now. That's early fifth round. A little too

137
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: early for me considering Buffalo had twenty two rushing touchdowns

138
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 3: last year. But you want to take a guess how

139
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 3: many James Cook account at four those twenty two rushing

140
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 3: touchdowns four close half of that two Jeez thought rushing

141
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: touchdowns with James probably there's no I don't know. Uh yeah,

142
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 3: so James Cook way over valued at RB thirteen. I'm

143
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 3: passing on him there. I'd rather go for his backup,

144
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: which will presumably be rookie Ray Davis, who is selected

145
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 3: in the fourth round. Davis a very intriguing he can

146
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 3: prospect out of Kentucky. Again, if you want to learn

147
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 3: more about Ray Davis, go back and listen to the

148
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: Rookie running Back episode with Thor. I'm sure he'll break

149
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: he breaks it down much.

150
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we did talk about ray Davis and we like,

151
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: we both like ray Davis. Thor feels like his he

152
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: doesn't have a high ceiling, but we also we think

153
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: he comes in with NFL ready traits and that he

154
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: can be an immediate starter. It just Thor doesn't feel

155
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: like Ray Davis has got high upside in his game

156
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: and that may ultimately limit him. But right now he's

157
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: going off the borders running back fifty four in a

158
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: backfield that has traditionally been a shared backfield, and I'm

159
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: kind of intrigued by that.

160
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, me too, for sure. I mean he's a guy

161
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 3: I would be looking to draft even if I didn't

162
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: draft James Cook. And again I'm not actively looking to

163
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: draft James Cook. I think he's overvalued. But yeah, Davis

164
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: an injury away from being the starter and bull buffalo.

165
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: But again, you know, whether it's Cook or Davis, it's

166
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: all about Josh Allen at the goal line mainly, so

167
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: he's Alan and Kincaid are the you know, the flashy

168
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 3: toys in this offense. So in terms of this offense

169
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 3: getting better or worse than last year, even though he

170
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: faltered towards the end, you know, the loss of Stefan

171
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: Diggs is gonna overall, right, so I'm gonna go slightly worse.

172
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 3: But I really I think Josh Allen might have a

173
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 3: better year just because they lean on his legs a

174
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 3: little more or they'll need to, and I think he

175
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 3: has adequate enough support around him, you know, to spread

176
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 3: the ball around and put up pretty good passing numbers. Still,

177
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 3: so uh, again, it's not gonna be a better offense

178
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: even at best you know, lateral move, but I'm leaning

179
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 3: slightly worse, but it'll still be a high powered offense

180
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 3: with Allen at the helm.

181
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: So I looked up Dalton Kincaid's numbers last year just

182
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: to get refamiliarized and hit seventy three receptions last year,

183
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: so maybe he's got one hundred reception upside now if

184
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: assuming that Dalton Knox is going to fade into the

185
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: background here, which is not necessarily a valid assumption, but

186
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: if he does, no, you know, Kincaid could easily see

187
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: a you know, thirty percent up tick and end up

188
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: getting himself into the one hundred reception range, which for

189
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: a tight end would be fantastic. Kinkaid just the two

190
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns last year. All right, let's switch over to the

191
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: new England Patriots passing game. Well, obviously you've got a

192
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: new coaching staff. I think a whole new breath of

193
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: fresh air in the room, which is great. The quarterback

194
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: position obviously big change here. Only Bailey's appey remains from

195
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: last year. Drake May Jacoby Brissett come in. It's not

196
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: a certainty that Drake May starts the season because Jacoby

197
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: Brissett is a proven quality NFL backup who can start

198
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: in pinches, and they may decide to take their time

199
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: on Drake May. It's not clear that Drake May starts

200
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: Week one, but almost no matter what, the passing game

201
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: gets better, because anything is an uptick from what they

202
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: had last year with Mac Jones, Bailey Zappy disaster scenarios

203
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: unfolding for the Patriots. I think, do you remember how

204
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: many times Mac Jones got benched.

205
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: Six?

206
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: I think it was four. I think get four different

207
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: benchings in one season, which is which is pretty tough

208
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: to bounce back from the wide receiver room. You have

209
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: some returning vets like Kendrick Bourne and Damario Douglas, who

210
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: had a couple of nice moments. I don't know why

211
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: they've hung on to Juju Smith, Schuster and Jalen Rager,

212
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: but they have. They added free agent kg Osbourne who

213
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: will run from the slot, but Douglas is already there.

214
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: They drafted Jalyn Polk in round two and Javon Baker

215
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: and Thor and I talked about these two just last week.

216
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: Thor likes Baker, doesn't like Polk, so you can go

217
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: back and listen to last week's if you want to

218
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: hear more details on how why he feels that way.

219
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: But those guys are now there, but overall, this is

220
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 1: still a wide receiver group that feels like you want

221
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: to avoid unless you do want to throw some darts

222
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: around at a guy like Javon Baker, who you can

223
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: get basically for free if you want to. He's wide

224
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: receiver eighty one. Right now, Hunter Henry remains like Koseki left.

225
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: He gets replaced by Austin Hooper, who coming out just

226
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: call Austin Hooper a journeyman.

227
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 3: I would say, I think he's more than that. I

228
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: don't know what would be beyond a journey, and he's.

229
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: Like super elite. Super journey was something like that.

230
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 3: Five teams, six teams.

231
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: Something like that. Former first rounder, if I recall correctly

232
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: on Austin Hooper obviously hasn't worked out. So does the

233
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: passing game get better in New England? It basically can't

234
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: get worse. It was totally non functional last year, so

235
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: you know it will get better. But your big payoff

236
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: on this, on this passing offense is probably in seasons

237
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: to come for the running game. I want to start

238
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: by talking just a little bit about new offensive coordinator

239
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: Alex van Pelt. He was Kevin Stefanski's offensive coordinator for

240
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: four years and Stefanski was the primary offensive mine behind

241
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: the Browns offense, not Van Pelt. But if we assume

242
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: that Van Pelt has been taking his cues from Stefanski,

243
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: you could suggest that he's going to carry over some

244
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: of Stefanski's tendencies towards running the ball. So with the Browns,

245
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: over the last four years when Alex van Pelt was there,

246
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: the team finished in run play percentage, The Browns finished fourth, sixth, eighth,

247
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: and then last year when Nick Chubb got hurt, they

248
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: dropped down to seventeenth, but still four, six and eighth.

249
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 1: I mean, it tells you this is a This was

250
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: a run first, power running team when they had Nick Chubb.

251
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: And maybe that's what happens with Romandre Stevenson here, which

252
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: would be interesting. Stevenson returns, but he fell off badly

253
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: last year, and maybe it was just because he was

254
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: getting no help from the passing game, but he failed

255
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: to Pro Football focuses running back twenty six. He had

256
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: typically been inside the top ten. He was down to

257
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: four yards per carry, which was down a full yard

258
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: from five yards per carry the weird year before for Stevenson.

259
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: And worse, the receptions just completely dried up, cut in half,

260
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: down to just thirty eight receptions last year. And he's

261
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: ideally built for goal line used, but the dude just

262
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: hasn't reliably scored touchdowns, but again, there is reason to

263
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: think it could change under Alex van Pelt and maybe

264
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: Stevenson's going to be that guy they brought in Antonio Gibson,

265
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: Brian to me. That to me, I just don't think

266
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: Gibson's all that good. And maybe he I think he

267
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: could see I could see him a pass catching role,

268
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: but I don't think he's gonna take a lot of

269
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: carries from Rmando Stevenson. What do you think?

270
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you there. This is the year to

271
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: even though the Patriots are going nowhere, Stevenson deserves just

272
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 3: a shot at being the bell cow. And I know

273
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 3: we fell off last year. I believe he did suffer

274
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 3: a somewhat serious ankle injury that caused him to miss

275
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 3: some time, didn't come back as strong. But Antonio Gibson,

276
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 3: he might be the best wide receiver on that team

277
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 3: right now. Former college wide receiver Antonio Gibson.

278
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you hope.

279
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 3: So, I mean, overall, the Patriots. If you had to

280
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 3: pick one team where you just were disallowed from drafting

281
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 3: anyone in fantasy football, it's the Patriots. With a bullet

282
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 3: For me, this is probably the least exciting offense and

283
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 3: all the football and all these teams.

284
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that might be our queue to sort of

285
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: move along. They didn't, unfortunately. You know, they did put

286
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: some draft picks into offensive line, third and fourth rounders,

287
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: and maybe that'll improve an offensive line that didn't help

288
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: a lot. So well, the Patriots running game get better. Yeah,

289
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: it probably will, because it fell off hard. And I

290
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: just think through if we think that Alex van Pelt

291
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: is going to have a run first orientation and protect

292
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: his young quarterback, assuming Drake May gets reps at some point. Yeah,

293
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm kind of intrigued right now. Ramandra. Stevenson going off

294
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: the board is running back nineteen. Not bad. If I

295
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: can get a work horse what I hope I think

296
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: will be a workhorse running back running back now.

297
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's one of the one of the first candidates.

298
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 3: If you deployed the do the opposite strategy, it will

299
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: be there round round five, round six. I like him

300
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 3: a lot more than the aforementioned James Cook, who is

301
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 3: going six seven spots in terms of running backs ahead

302
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 3: of Stevenson. I take Stevenson all day over James Cook.

303
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 3: Stevenson really the only guy won on New England. Yeah,

304
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 3: I'm really looking.

305
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: Pretty much, let's go to a much better offense. Let's

306
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: talk Miami. Now here's here's some offense.

307
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 3: Definitely some offense. But here's something to keep in mind

308
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 3: when you're going to draft Dolphins this year. As we

309
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 3: all know, this schedule has come out and a lot

310
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 3: of people tend to look at the bye weeks and

311
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 3: then they look at the playoff schedule, the fantasy playoff schedule.

312
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 3: Miami's playoff schedule sucks. Here it is starting in week

313
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 3: thirteen at green Bay. We know Miami does not like

314
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: cold weather. Green Bay decent enough defense, so starts off

315
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 3: a little rocky there. Then week fourteen they have the

316
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 3: Jets at home. Jets, great defense. Week fifteen at Texans,

317
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 3: shootout potential there indoors with Texans.

318
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: Texans past defense has been has been good, Yeah.

319
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: Very good. And Week sixteen they're at home. That's good

320
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 3: against the forty nine ers, though presumably gonna be a

321
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 3: bad matchup defensively. And then week seventeen, here's here's the

322
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 3: cherry on top per se at Cleveland in week seventeen.

323
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: That's like it's a it's a tough road right there.

324
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: Bench everyone, but there's a long way to go till

325
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 3: we get there.

326
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you know I I don't put a

327
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: ton of weight in the playoffs schedule. And here's why.

328
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: A lot of times, if that playoff schedule's hard, the

329
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: rest of the season is pretty easy. If I'm if

330
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: i get to the halfway point of the season and

331
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm motoring with my Dolphins and I'm already projecting ahead.

332
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: You know, it's week nine and I'm seven to two

333
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: and I'm already starting to look at the playoffs, and

334
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm still worried about those defenses. If those four defenses

335
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: are still really good, okay, then maybe I'm making a

336
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: change and ide I can make a trade at that

337
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: point if I need to. So I don't know, I don't.

338
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: I don't let that bother me so too much. No,

339
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm with you.

340
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 3: I shouldn't say I'm not like fading the Dolphins in drafts,

341
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 3: but the schedule is not even Keep in mind for scenario,

342
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 3: like you said, you get your money's worth out of them,

343
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 3: then you you know, you flip them for something better,

344
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 3: knowing that the road gets a lot tougher for him

345
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 3: later in the season. But just keep that schedule in

346
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 3: mind for sure, But by no means are you fading

347
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 3: any of the Dolphins. Starting with Tyreek Hill, who's going

348
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 3: off the board is wide receiver too right now, his

349
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 3: running mate or counterpart, Jalen Waddle wide receiver nineteen. We

350
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 3: both kind of know what we get with those two guys.

351
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill can be the best wide receiver in the

352
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 3: league on any given day something happens to him. Jalen

353
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 3: Waddle sees a major uptick and volume, but Waddle is

354
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 3: certainly the robin to Tyreek Hill's batman. The question here

355
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 3: is the wide receiver three role, where we have two

356
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 3: very different options in the very old Odell Beckham Junior

357
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 3: and then rookie Maleek Washington. Both are dirt cheap and

358
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 3: for good reason, they have a well they both have

359
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,239
Speaker 3: very low floors. We know that if Odell Beckham can

360
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 3: somehow rekindle his magic his youth, he takes the job.

361
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: But leak Washington and intriguing and intriguing prospects here. If

362
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 3: something were to happen to either Hill or Waddle and

363
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 3: or Beckham, Washington could get some run in a high

364
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 3: octane offense. So he's a wide receiver I'm targeting late

365
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 3: in redraft, not just dynasty, especially if I'm looking to

366
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 3: stay Dolphins. And if you're stacking Dolphins, you're looking at quarterback.

367
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: Their quarterback tu Tungo Viola. I haven't said the last

368
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 3: name in a while. I took cat us right.

369
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: It takes a minute. If you haven't, you haven't practiced it.

370
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 3: Right now, I was a little you know, Tuas going

371
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 3: off the board as QB fourteen right now, and I'm like, man,

372
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 3: that seems like kind of a good deal. He must

373
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,239
Speaker 3: have been a top ten quarterback last year. I went

374
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 3: back and looked. He finished as QB seventeen in points

375
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 3: per game, which is not very good for an offense

376
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 3: that was as high powered as the Dolphins. To to

377
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 3: threw for three touchdowns in Week eight against New England,

378
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: and that was the last time he hit that milestone

379
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 3: all season. It was in Week eight. Yeah, from that

380
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 3: point on, he threw for multiple scores, meaning two touchdowns

381
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 3: in just three games post Week eight.

382
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that hurts.

383
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 3: Zero zero rushing touchdowns all season for Tua. So right now,

384
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 3: that QB fourteen price tag maybe seems a little overvalued now,

385
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 3: So you think you think Tyreek Hill you think Jalen Waller,

386
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 3: You're like, oh, I gotta have Tua. But Tua did

387
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 3: not post the numbers that you that I remembered last year,

388
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 3: and uh, he's probably gonna fall in line with the

389
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 3: same kind of production. Unless I cannot go to the

390
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 3: running game without mentioning the new tight end in Miami,

391
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 3: John u John who baby John?

392
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: By the way, he's your starting tight end. It's you know,

393
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: he's been locked into these dual roles where he's had

394
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: to fight for fight for starting time. John Hu Smith

395
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: is your probable starting Week one tight end. And talking

396
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: about der cheap you can get John Hu Smith, I mean,

397
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: name your price, right, you know who's gonna take him.

398
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: He's tight end twenty three off the board. He's the

399
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: Dolphins starting tight end, and he's a crazy athlete. He

400
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: fits the profile you know of no doubt of what

401
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: you of what the Dolphins want with these crazy athletes.

402
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: You know, John Whu Smith is all about athleticism.

403
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 3: The problem though, is like the Dolphins do not involve

404
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,719
Speaker 3: their tight ends a whole lot, like I said, they

405
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 3: might have not they haven't had an athlete like John

406
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 3: Hu Jho. So we'll see how that changes. He's worth

407
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 3: a he's worth a dark throw in the later rounds

408
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 3: or not the later rounds like.

409
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: The last round. Yes, going off the board player one

410
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: eighty three right now.

411
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 3: Now over to the running game. This is where it

412
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 3: gets really really messy. We'll start with Devin A. Chan

413
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 3: going off the board as RB eight.

414
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: It's a big price to pay.

415
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 3: It's a big price to pay. I mean, he was

416
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 3: he has some monster games. That's why he was fourth

417
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 3: in Fantasy points per game among running backs last year,

418
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 3: but he only played eleven games due to injury. That

419
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 3: led paved the way for Raheem Moster, who led the

420
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 3: league in rushing touchdowns with eighteen, second in overall in

421
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 3: overall points among running backs. He's going off the board

422
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 3: is RB twenty nine right now.

423
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I don't understand the differential between those two.

424
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: Sure eight, Chan's your highlight machine, but Moster was the

425
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: more consistent back. And the fact that there's twenty running

426
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: back spots You're put twenty running backs between those two

427
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: feels weird.

428
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 3: Definitely feels weird. I mean, if you have to pick one,

429
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 3: I know, in the one of the first you know,

430
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 3: if our regular season shows that start in August, we

431
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 3: do the which teammate would you rather draft? I think

432
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 3: we could put this one in the books already that

433
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 3: it's Moster.

434
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: Always the lower ranked to guy too as that as

435
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: that bit usually plays out.

436
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is most are a guy I think in

437
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 3: dynasty leagues, if you're if you're in win now mode,

438
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,239
Speaker 3: go see who has Raheem Moster if anyone's in any

439
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 3: kind of He's just had eighteen touchdowns last year and

440
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 3: he's going RB thirty and in dynasty he's gonna be

441
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: way undervalued. So if you're in win now mode in dynasty,

442
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 3: he's a guy I'd be looking at, but a great

443
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 3: discount on Moster. But Miami really threw a wrench in

444
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 3: the mix when they drafted rookie Jalen Wright, who a

445
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 3: lot of people are excited about, I know after the

446
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 3: war was he He's going off the boards RB forty four.

447
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 3: That's it's only fifteen spots behind Raheem Moster, which is insane. Again,

448
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 3: not an ideal landing spot for fantasy perpose.

449
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: If they're injury.

450
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 3: If there's an injury, he will certainly become relevant. But

451
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 3: uh yeah, it's a loaded backfield. So this is almost

452
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 3: and if I had to pick one of the three,

453
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 3: I'd probably go with right, Just go with the cheapest

454
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 3: one there because uh, you know, he has a similar

455
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 3: athletic profile to a chan So but again it's a

456
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 3: loaded backfield. Most are the most intriguing to me is

457
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 3: RB twenty nine of the leading touchdown scorer, again among

458
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 3: running backs on the ground. And when we talk will

459
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 3: this offense get better or worse this year, it's really

460
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 3: just a I don't see how it gets any worse.

461
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a ton better, Jalen writes,

462
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 3: A nice ad adds a little depth to the backfield.

463
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 3: If OBJ can rekindle some magic, I'll say better. But

464
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 3: overall it's about the same for me.

465
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: All Right, let's go to the Jets. Will note that

466
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: they put a first round pick into the offensive line,

467
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: which is going to ultimately be helpful here. And obviously

468
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: they get back Aaron Rodgers, who's kind of like a

469
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: new face, all right. I mean they got four plays

470
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: out of him last year, so Aaron Rodgers comes back. Notably,

471
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: they did not draft tight end Brock Bowers. They passed

472
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: on him, which I you know, some people may view

473
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: that ultimately as a mistake, they went with Olufashanu instead.

474
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 1: They they jettisoned almost every wide out from last year

475
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: aside from Garrett Wilson, which makes sense, and keeping Allan Lazard,

476
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: which does not make any sense. I assume it's just

477
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: for contractual reasons. They added Chargers free agent Mike Williams

478
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,959
Speaker 1: in New York. Williams, you know, you know what you're

479
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: getting out of Williams. You get those periodic big plays

480
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: downfield or uses his big bodied box out defenders wedd

481
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: He's healthy, which is you know, all bit a continuing

482
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: problem for Mike Williams, but you know, healthy at least

483
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: to start the season. They also drafted Malachi Corley in

484
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: the third round. Is really interesting. It's a pure slot receiver,

485
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: incredibly slippery after the catch, and in twenty twenty two,

486
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: so two seasons ago, he led the FBS in yards

487
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: after catch and for and forced missed tackles, which is

488
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. He's he's got a little Deebo Samuel to

489
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: his game. Malachi Corley just keep you know, keep your

490
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,239
Speaker 1: eyes on him and in in Dynasty, Like you know,

491
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: I think he's going roughly round four of Dynasty drafts.

492
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 1: That's rookie Doney Straw. That's kind of interesting to me.

493
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 1: You know this, this whole passing offense for the Jets

494
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: almost certainly gets better. Obviously obviously gets better with Aaron Rodgers,

495
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: it goes, It goes without saying Tyrod Taylor's you knew

496
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: backup there by the way as well. And you know,

497
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson presumably gets on track in a big way,

498
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: has the kind of season that we all thought he

499
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: was going to have last year. He still remains a

500
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: great receiver, and I think just I think a little

501
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: bit underappreciated right now, because you know, we were all

502
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: excited about his his year two last year didn't all

503
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: come together the way we thought it would. I think

504
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: some people might be a little down on him. But

505
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 1: he's going off the board at wide receiver eight, which

506
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: feels to me to be about about right for Garrett Wilson.

507
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: So obviously passing game gets better for the Jets. We'll

508
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: flip over to the running game for a second. Breeshall

509
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: remains really impressive here last year despite coming off the

510
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: ACL and getting zero help in the passing game at

511
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: all behind him, though, the backup situation is worth watching,

512
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: and Thorn and I talked about it last week. You know,

513
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: they drafted the two rookie running backs Alan and Davis

514
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: in rounds four and five, and that really makes the

515
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: backup situation here pretty muddy, especially with Izzy Abanacondo there

516
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: from last year, although he really did nothing last season,

517
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: only twenty two carries, and didn't do anything with those

518
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: twenty two carries, so maybe they won't even factor in.

519
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: But just the fact that Alan and Davis are both there,

520
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: and they're both stylistically very similar, means I don't see

521
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: a scenario where I'm going to run the risk of

522
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: drafting either one of those guys and hoping, you know,

523
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: he ends up being the winner winner should anything happen

524
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: to Brice Hall, who clearly they're they're very comfortable pounding

525
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: the rock to like they did last year. But because

526
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: the whole Jets offense is going to get a lot better,

527
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: the running game will be more balanced and it'll be

528
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: better as well. So we've got strong betters on both

529
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: the Jets passing game and the Jets rushing game.

530
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, the fantasy community not happy with the double the

531
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 3: double tap of running backs by the Jets draft.

532
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: No, absolutely not Brisall going off the board. By the way,

533
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: running back two running back too off the board behind

534
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: only Christian McCaffrey. So a lot of optimism with Breece Hall.

535
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: And honestly he's my running back two as well. So

536
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: I'm totally on board with that. Zero problem with that.

537
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 3: People people flipping a coin between Hall and Bjeon Robinson

538
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 3: basically for RB two RB three, I.

539
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: Want the guy who's going to get the ball at

540
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: the stripe. I don't know that that's b Jhon Robinson.

541
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: To me, it's not to me, it isn't that close.

542
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 1: But you're right, they're being drafted very right by each other.

543
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: So there is that. Let's take a break when we

544
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: come back, let's flip over to the NFC East. The

545
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: Giants have got a variety of new parts. We'll talk

546
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: about that when we come back. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

547
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: Paul Charchi and Brian Johnson with you Guillotine Leagues dot com.

Speaker 1: invite you into that and have a discussion with us.

554
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Giants of Brian where there was

555
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: a lot of offseason thoughts that maybe the Giants would

556
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: make a change a quarter back, and they ultimately decided

557
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: to go back to Daniel Jones one more time. Let's

558
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: see if he can crack the fifteen touchdown mark, something

559
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: he has not done since his rookie year.

560
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not too optimistic that Daniel Jones breaches that milestone,

561
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 3: and the drafting community isn't either. As of right now,

562
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones is went off the board. Is quarterback thirty?

563
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 3: Oh boy, there might be some backups going before him

564
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 3: at that range. Just last year he was like a

565
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 3: top ten quarterback. I mean, everyone believed in the in

566
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones, especially the Giants who gave him like a

567
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 3: quarter billion dollars.

568
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,719
Speaker 1: It was not that much. I think it was like

569
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: a one hundred and twenty million or something.

570
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 3: That was exaggerating, but that's that's feel. It feels like

571
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 3: a hundred for him. It's like one hundred billion dollars

572
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 3: and Daniel Jones terms.

573
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: That is true. That is true, So.

574
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 3: Not a lot to be excited about in the passing game.

575
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 3: The only thing to be excited about is rookie Molik

576
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 3: Neighbors sixth overall pick in the NFL draft. He's think

577
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 3: drafted his wide receiver twenty right now. An amazing talent

578
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 3: in college. The sky's the limit for him, but he

579
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 3: might be held back by Danny Dimes and his counterparts

580
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 3: at wide receiver because no one is really too concerned

581
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 3: with Wandale Robinson or Jalen Hyatt, who are just kind

582
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 3: of gimmicky slock guys. They're going off the board as

583
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 3: wide receivers eighty and ninety four, respectively, so they're pretty

584
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 3: much dead in fantasy terms, at least in redraft. And

585
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 3: Darren Waller's career might be dead as well. He's on

586
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 3: the verge of retirement. Supposedly, maybe he comes back. I

587
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 3: really don't care if he does. The days of elite

588
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 3: Darren Waller are long gone and they were short lived

589
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 3: sadly as well. If Waller does retire, we're looking at

590
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 3: rookie Theo Johnson or Daniel Bellinger. There's there's nothing here

591
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 3: outside of Malik Neighbors basically, and my hopes aren't very

592
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: high that he has a successful rookie year. I like

593
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,239
Speaker 3: how he called off. I think it was Neighbors who

594
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 3: made the bet with Jaden Daniels, like who's gonna win

595
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 3: offensive Rookie of the Year or something that for ten

596
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 3: thousand dollars. Yeah, and then the league stepped in and

597
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 3: Neighbors was probably thank god. He looked around like I

598
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 3: got no shot at this. Playing for the Giants and

599
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 3: going over the running game, it only gets worse because,

600
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 3: as everyone should know, gone as Saquon Barkley.

601
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that a second.

602
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, hit the Jersey Turnpike, headed down to Philly.

603
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 3: So in comes Devin Singletary from Houston. He is their

604
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 3: presumed starter. Worth noting Singletary has averaged four point six

605
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 3: yards per carry in each of the last two seasons,

606
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 3: great in pass protection. The Giants guaranteed him almost ten

607
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 3: million dollars this season, so I think they're going to

608
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 3: get their money out of him. And at RB thirty five,

609
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 3: another very viable due the opposite candidate. If you're bypassing

610
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 3: running backs in the early rounds and if you go

611
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,239
Speaker 3: Devin Singletary or even if you don't, I'm intrigued by

612
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 3: rookie Tyrone Tracy Junior. He's not going much later, He's

613
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 3: going off the board as RB fifty six. I think

614
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 3: they're gonna want to see what he has to offer.

615
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 3: He will push Singletary for some playing time, but I

616
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 3: think Singletary does see the bulk of touches to start

617
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 3: the season, and so again a good to the opposite

618
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 3: back to target, uh you know, seven, round seven, round eight,

619
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 3: somewhere around there. And lastly, will the offense get better

620
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 3: or worse this year? I don't know if he can

621
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 3: get worse than last year.

622
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: No, probably, I.

623
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 3: Mean Dan Daniel Jones was hurt, as we all know.

624
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 3: It was a total disaster. You know, Tommy DeVito. I

625
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 3: almost said Danny DeVito there. Danny DeVito might have been

626
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 3: a better option than Tommy Dvito. We had a couple

627
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 3: of fun weeks there, but it's it'll be the same

628
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 3: at best. I don't think it's gonna get much better

629
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 3: unless Malik Neighbors turns out to be the next coming

630
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 3: of Randy Moss. But again, I don't trust Daniel Jones

631
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 3: to get the ball to them. Enough so there's not

632
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 3: a lot to love in New York, especially their new

633
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 3: throwback uniforms. If you've seen those that are absolutely hideous.

634
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 4: They're gonna the ones of those ones of those people

635
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 4: will love them are Giants, Burner accounts on Twitter, owner

636
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 4: shut those are the only people that love him.

637
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: Going over to the Eagles, Kellen Moore is your new

638
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, replacing the lesser Brian Johnson who got swept

639
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: out of town and are observedly so based on how

640
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: he tanked that offense last year.

641
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,719
Speaker 3: Did he get a new job Brian Johnson?

642
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's in the NFL T I don't remember exactly

643
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: where he wound up. Let me let me let me

644
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: see if I can say.

645
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 3: I hope it is nothing against my fellow Brian Johnson.

646
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 3: But watching them is Washington now watching Eagles games last year,

647
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 3: they would say his name like I felt like a.

648
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: Hundred and you turn into the TV.

649
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 3: Huh what Yeah, nothing more tilting than sitting there watching

650
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 3: a game and they keep saying your name over and

651
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 3: over again.

652
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine what that's like. I mean, you

653
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: and I have got the opposite names in terms of frequency.

654
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: I'm literally the only Paul Charcion on the planet. And

655
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: there's like one million variations of Brian Johnson.

656
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 3: Right, pretty much. There haven't been many successful Brian Johnson athletes, sadly,

657
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 3: and you can throw me in that next at least

658
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 3: when it comes to the pros. But there was a

659
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 3: place kicker Brian Johnson, I believe.

660
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,439
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the most notable Brian Johnson is the ac

661
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: DC version for sure.

662
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 3: Right. Oh, I thought you're gonna say me, but yeah,

663
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 3: I guess so to version and the Breakfast Club version.

664
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: Oh was he It was his name, Brian Johnson.

665
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 3: His name was Brian Johnson. I didn't know that, okay,

666
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 3: Anthony Anthony Michael.

667
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,479
Speaker 1: Hall, Yeah, yeah, which is you know? They they played

668
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: him up as being a dorky dweeb, right, but they

669
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: didn't give him a dorky name like they did like

670
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: Revenge of the Nerds. All the guys in Revenge of

671
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: the Nerds have got super nerdy names, right Revenge to

672
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: the I'm gonna look it up right now for Revenge

673
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: of the Nerds, unlike Brian Johnson. So they were names

674
00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: like Poindexter, wormser Gilbert Lewis, Booker, Lamar. Those were your

675
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: core Nerds. In Revenge of the Nerds, they got nerdy names,

676
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 1: but not breakfast club Brian Johnson.

677
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 3: Not the coolest name ever. They really messed that up.

678
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: Drop the ball there in the Eagles passing game, no

679
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: notable changes except at slot receiver, where Paris Campbell's going

680
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: to get another shot to make good on his lofty

681
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: draft position of the second round for the Colts, but

682
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: injuries derailed him there. Then he did nothing in a

683
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: totally broken Giants offense. So maybe it all comes together

684
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: here and Paris Campbell, you know, this is the presuming

685
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: he stays healthy, this is gonna be by far the

686
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: best offense he's ever been in. Devonte Parker showed up

687
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: in the Eagles, but he's not even notable, and he

688
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 1: signed a one year VET minimum deal and I think

689
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: he gets cut in the preseason. Howie Roseman threw Day

690
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: three picks at Annias Smith and the Elephantine Johnny Wilson.

691
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: Wilson totally logjammed for playing time behind DeVante Smith and

692
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: AJ Brown. But Smith, Brian he played slot in college

693
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: and he could beat out Campbell, but that's still unclear,

694
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: and he projects is more of a special team er.

695
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: An occasional gadget guy, and I don't think Anaya Smith

696
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: is gonna really make much of an impact here, but

697
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: you know you could watch that they but this is

698
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: an offense that's got nothing reliable out of their slot

699
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 1: position all year. The new backup quarterback behind Jalen Hurts

700
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 1: is Kenny Pickett for those looking for a deep handcuff.

701
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: Hurts passing dipped badly in the second half of last year,

702
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 1: along with the really the fortunes of the entire team,

703
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 1: but his rushing production production kept fantasy outcomes very high

704
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: for Jalen Hurts really all season long, and that likely

705
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 1: repeats here and so really no change for this Eagles

706
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: passing game. Running game, though big changes. Saquon Barkley enters

707
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: the new lead runner. He replaces DeAndre Swift who went

708
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: off to Chicago. Barkley to me Brian, he feels old.

709
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,919
Speaker 1: He's twenty seven, which is not that bad, and he's

710
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:02,959
Speaker 1: got one two hundred career carries, which also not as

711
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: bad as you would think considering he's been a bell

712
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: coow back for five years. So I think I think

713
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: there's a little tread left on that tire. And Kenneth

714
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: Gainwell has done nothing to suggest that he should have

715
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: a larger role here. They put a fourth round pick

716
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: into Will Shipley, who looks like a change of pace

717
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 1: guy with a broad skill set. But I don't think

718
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: he is a much of a factor this season unless

719
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: there's some injuries ahead of him. I look through Kellen

720
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: Moore's track record with Bell cow Backs Brian and it

721
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: was really mixed. You know, last year, Austin Eckler was

722
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: only getting thirteen carries per game. But if you go

723
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: back to when Kellen Moore was in Dallas during Zeke's

724
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: workhorse years, Zeke was averaging nineteen touches a game. So,

725
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: you know, the hope here is that we're gonna see

726
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: that version of Kellen Moore. If we can get nineteen

727
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: touches a game. Heading to Saquon Barkley, his fantasy viability

728
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: goes up quite a bit. You know, Barkley's lost just

729
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: a lot of his game. I think it was sapped

730
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: by the l the constant ankle injuries that he's had,

731
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: and the guy was unbelievable in his rookie year. Year

732
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: after and it just everything's gone downhill. Last year he

733
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: dropped all the way to RB fifty one in Pro

734
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 1: Football Focus's elusiveness ranking. And this has been a guy

735
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: who was, you know, pre acl he was somebody that

736
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: was elusive as any running back in the league. And then,

737
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: of course the limiting factor on all the Eagles runners, Brian,

738
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 1: it's the tush push Jalen Hurts just cannibalizing the easy

739
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns from inside the five and that just to me,

740
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: that puts a hard cap on all of the Eagles runners.

741
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: It just the ceiling on all of them, to me,

742
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: is just very, very high. Saquon Barkley going up the

743
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: board right now at what I feel is an inexplicable

744
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: and unsustainable running back six, A borderline first round for

745
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley. I don't I don't under stand how people

746
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: can how people can justify that that high of a

747
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: spot for Saquon Barkley when you know he's not going

748
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: to get touchdowns from inside the five yard line and

749
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,959
Speaker 1: you also have to worry about the diminishing ability. Why

750
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: did the Giants just you know, walk away from him

751
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: and give good money to somebody else, you know, what

752
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: do they know? So I feel like that's a that's

753
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: a bad spot for Saquon Barkley. How do you feel.

754
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not touching Barkley. At that price tag. You

755
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 3: can get most drafts, and I've got a fair amount

756
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 3: under my belt. You can get Jonathan Taylor, Kyron Williams,

757
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 3: who stock is plumbting by the way, Kyraen Williams all.

758
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:38,919
Speaker 1: The draft that one got from him.

759
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but still yeah, Barkley way over price. Do

760
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 3: you think the Tush push, the effectiveness of the Toush

761
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 3: push is going to be dinged by the retirement of

762
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 3: Jason Kelsey? Was he the real catalyst behind the toushplus,

763
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 3: I mean.

764
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: It was awfully important because the Toush push, it only

765
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: goes a gap and right, you know, directly behind center,

766
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: so you know it probably he will not help to

767
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: have him gone. Nevertheless, I'll take my chances. I think

768
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: it until teams prove they can stop it. You know,

769
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm not too worried. You know, they they've got they've

770
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: got Cam Jurgens, a second round pick to be the replacement.

771
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: So I mean, in terms of draft equity, they've got

772
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: a they've got a center that they think is gonna

773
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: be is gonna be pretty good. So yeah, I'm not

774
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: that worried about hurts.

775
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 3: Honestly, Kelsey seems like the guy Jason Kelsey would come

776
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 3: in and just coaching him up for free for a

777
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 3: little bit too. He loves his former team that much.

778
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 3: Let's go to the Dallas throw a few beers back,

779
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 3: show up at practice, some.

780
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: Flip flop spears. Yeah, that sounds about right. I'll's go

781
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: over to the Cowboys.

782
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,879
Speaker 3: All right, Dallas Cowboys. Worth noting they used the first

783
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 3: round pick on offensive tackle Tyler Geiton to bolster the

784
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 3: O line that has been on the decline in recent years.

785
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 3: Was elite several years ago, so that should hopefully offer

786
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 3: a little more protection for Dak and helped the running game,

787
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 3: which we'll get into a minute. But let's get back

788
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 3: to the passing game and Dak Prescott and uh, well,

789
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 3: we're gonna start with Dak's top target and he quite

790
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 3: literally was the top target in the league last year.

791
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 3: That CD lamb wide receiver one right now with the

792
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 3: bullet and drafts, basically the first guy off the board

793
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 3: after Christian McCaffrey and virtually every draft I've done. CD

794
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 3: led the league in targets, receptions, yards. Last year. He

795
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 3: was second in touchdowns with twelve just an absolute stud.

796
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 3: And I will never let the Denver Broncos forget that

797
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 3: they drafted Judy for Cede Lamb, who you and I

798
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 3: were both laughing at them mercilessly for doing so all

799
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 3: in that.

800
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: And Rugs Let's not forget that. Henry Ruggs went.

801
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, Rugs so bad. And and of course

802
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson went after all those guys. But at the

803
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 3: time the hype wasn't it wasn't what it should have

804
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 3: been for Justin Jefferson.

805
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, I had Lamb one and Jefferson two that year.

806
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you good? I didn't have Jefferson that hig.

807
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 3: I don't remember, but I definitely liked Lamb a lot.

808
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 3: But anyway, that's the past. The Cowboys benefits benefited from

809
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 3: that mistake by Denver, of course, but not a lot

810
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 3: of uh benefits coming from the other wide receivers on Dallas.

811
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 3: In my mind, we're talking Brandon Cooks. He's going off

812
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,760
Speaker 3: the boards wide receiver sixty one.

813
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: Which, by the way, I mean, okay, hold on, just

814
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 1: stop them. Wide receiver sixty one for Brandon Cooks, is

815
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: I mean you know, we're talking pick one hundred and

816
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: forty something. That's you know, that's pretty good value for

817
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 1: a guy that sure is Brandon Cook's special. No, but

818
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: you know, is he good compared to that relative draft position?

819
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 3: Yeah? You know.

820
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: Now I'm kind of interested. Got scored eight touchdowns last year.

821
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 3: He's more of a best ball target to me, where

822
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 3: I don't know, he's hard to predict when his production's

823
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,919
Speaker 3: gonna come. It's almost like you need something to happen

824
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 3: to CD Lamb. I guess there's good value in Cooks.

825
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 3: I'm just personally not very interested in either Cooks or Tolbert.

826
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 3: If I'm going to target another pass catcher on the

827
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 3: Cowboys outside of CD Lamb, it's it's tight end. Jake Ferguson,

828
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 3: who was one of seven tight ends to see one

829
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 3: hundred plus targets last year. Right now, he's going off

830
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 3: the board is tight end nine. That's great value for

831
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 3: a guy who finishes a top seven tight end. He's

832
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,959
Speaker 3: going twenty to twenty five picks after guys like Kyle

833
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 3: Pitts and George Kittle, who he outperformed last year. So

834
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 3: you know, Dallas, even after they lost Kellen Morris OC

835
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 3: last year, they still heavily utilized their tight end, and

836
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 3: Jake Ferguson improved. He can get the job done. So

837
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 3: a great value on Jake Ferguson if you're going to

838
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 3: bypass the elite tight ends, he is a borderline elite

839
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 3: tight end available much later in drafts. Love love Jake Ferguson.

840
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he could still get he could still get better.

841
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 1: I mean he's still young, twenty five years old, so

842
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: you know, for Ferguson, there's you know, there's a real

843
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: opportunity as really he'll be entering his third year starting

844
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: a lot of tight ends to the big uptick in

845
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: year three. I'm really interested in Jake Ferguson. That's a

846
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: that is a strong play, and he should be going

847
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 1: off the board earlier than what'd you say is tight

848
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: end eight, end nine, tight end nine, tight end nine.

849
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 3: George Kittle twenty picks twenty twenty five picks ahead of him,

850
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 3: which is that's too big of a delta for me.

851
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 3: They're virtually the same player in terms of production, I feel,

852
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 3: fantasy wise, so because Ferguson's the second option, Kittle is

853
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,879
Speaker 3: yeah fourth sometimes four, yeah, well sometimes one and then

854
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 3: sometimes fourth, and it's really hard to know.

855
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: You know which game you're going to get out of

856
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:47,879
Speaker 1: George Kittle at any given time.

857
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 3: Over to the running game, it's is pretty ugly. Dallas

858
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 3: claimed to be all in. They did not go all

859
00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 3: in in the draft. They did not draft any offensive weapons,

860
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 3: including running back, which a lot of people thought they

861
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 3: would target in the draft. Instead, they brought back Ezekiel Elliott,

862
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:10,919
Speaker 3: who is forty years old in football terms, he's RB

863
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 3: forty as well in drafts, just go on a few

864
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 3: picks ahead in terms of running backs of Rico Dowdell,

865
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 3: who showed flashes last year. I liked what I saw

866
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 3: out of Dowdell. He arguably it was a better fantasy

867
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 3: player than Tony Pollard, who some people pegged as a

868
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 3: a guy who's gonna finish his RB one in the

869
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 3: last year's preseason. But Pollard gone, he's in Tennessee. So

870
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 3: but this is clearly are surely going to be a

871
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 3: running back by committee for Dallas with Zeke and Rico Dowdell. Surprisingly,

872
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 3: Zeke caught thirteen or I'm sorry, fifty one passes last year.

873
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 3: That was thirteenth among running.

874
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: Backs as a backup primarily Yeah, so some sneaky PPR

875
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: production from Zeke.

876
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 3: But again, this kind of feels it's like a fifty

877
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 3: to fifty split. If I have to pick one, I'll

878
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 3: take the chief for guy and Dowdell, but it's not

879
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 3: much of a discount off of Zeke. Just we talked about,

880
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 3: do the opposite candidates, I don't really see him here.

881
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 3: Dowdell is RB forty three, that's that's virtually the same

882
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 3: ADP as Dead and Singletary, who we talked about earlier,

883
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 3: and Zeke going around the same range. I would reach

884
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 3: half around for Singletary all day over either of these guys.

885
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 3: And in terms of the offense as a whole getting

886
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 3: better or worse, it's another I feel like I'm getting

887
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 3: all the lateral lateral movements here. I don't think they

888
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 3: get worse. I don't think they get a whole lot better.

889
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 3: I think we're just looking at the same offense as

890
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 3: last year, which means Dak Prescott in line for a

891
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 3: safe you know, QB eight to ten outcome range outcome.

892
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 1: I would saying nothing on the ground, not anymore.

893
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 3: He's got the best, arguably the best wide receiver in

894
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 3: the NFL, and Cedee lamb, and you got to like

895
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 3: whoever is throwing the ball to him, and that's Dak Prescott.

896
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Washington Command. There's there was talk

897
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: that they could change their name. Can we hates sen

898
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: that they command? It's the worst name in the Big

899
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: four sports outside of the Cleveland Guardians, which is even worse.

900
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna, We're gonna

901
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: go like clean slate on the post Snyder era in Washington.

902
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,240
Speaker 1: Can we just dump the dumb commander's name? Please?

903
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta erase everything from Daniel Snyder's exactly. That's

904
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:31,760
Speaker 3: the last thing lingering. It stinks.

905
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 1: It is, which brings us to the whole new coaching

906
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: staff that's in place. Dan Quinn's your head coach. Cliff

907
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: Kingsbury is your offensive coordinator. Quinn's a defensive guy, so

908
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: Kingsbury's gonna have mostly controls at his disposal for the offense.

909
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: Offensive line is a huge problem in Washington. Last year

910
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: they got some middling upgrades on low dollar deals on

911
00:47:54,800 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: former Cowboy center Taylor beyaz Dish and former Chiefs Guarden Algaretti.

912
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: But those aren't big upgrades. But they're better what they had,

913
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: so optimistic that this offensive line will get a little

914
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: bit better. The passing game now led presumably by Jade

915
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: and Daniels, I gotta believe he's gonna start Week one

916
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 1: or shortly thereafter. They've also got Marcus Mariota, Jeff Driscoll.

917
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: I don't think those guys are compelling starts in week one.

918
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: I think they'll go right to Daniels, the second overall

919
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: pick in the draft. Kingsbury's experience with these similarly mobile

920
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is encouraging, But as we've always cautioned with

921
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: Murray on Fantasy Football Weekly when we're doing our our

922
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: in game stuff, he just he's not much of a

923
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: goal line carrier, and or at least wasn't for Kingsbury.

924
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: So Kingsbury did not deploy his mobile quarterback at the stripe.

925
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: And I don't think there's gonna be a case to

926
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 1: be made where they're gonna do that here either for

927
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels, because you know, Daniels is very slight of build.

928
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 1: You know, this is nothing like Jalen Hurts getting the

929
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: tush push. He's so thin. I just I don't see

930
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: him getting goal line work. Kyler Murray averaged just five

931
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: carries per season from inside the five yard line with

932
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, and I don't even know if you're going

933
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: to get the five per season on Jadeen Daniels.

934
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels not not built like a Josh Allen or

935
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 3: even a Jalen Hurts. I saw we'll call it a

936
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 3: highlight reel of him running the ball in college, and

937
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 3: he's very reckless, like leaving his feet just taking bo

938
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 3: nasty hits, and those hits hit you a lot harder

939
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 3: in the NFL. So I'm a little worried about him.

940
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 3: He's gonna have to I mean, we saw Anthony Richardson

941
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 3: go down last year, and Anthony Richardson probably weighs fifty

942
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 3: more pounds for Jaden Daniels. So Jadeen Daniels is going

943
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 3: to have to learn to get down or he's going

944
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 3: to be going on IR sooner than later.

945
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: Rice rookie Luke McCaffrey, the other McCaffrey joins the receiving car,

946
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: and you know he could walk into the slot roll

947
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: vacated by Curtis Samuel, but slow receivers under Cliff Kingsbury

948
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: and Arizona were very unreliable fantasy producers, and many of them,

949
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: like Rondell Moore, had much higher draft equity and NFL

950
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: prospects than McCaffrey. Many people think McCaffrey went too early

951
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: in this draft where he was selected, so I don't

952
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 1: have a lot of optimism there. I'll mention former first

953
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,399
Speaker 1: round pick Johan Dotson, who was an epic failed last year.

954
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: I had like five really bad takes last year. One

955
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: of them was Johan Dotson stepping up last year did

956
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: not take at all. But you know where, let me

957
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: quick up, look where he's going off the board. Now,

958
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: I gotta believe he's basically for free John Dotson sixty

959
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:45,320
Speaker 1: three wide receiver sixty three right now at that price,

960
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit interested. And here's why he's the

961
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: Commander's best downfield threat. Jaden Daniels got the big arm.

962
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: So maybe there's gonna be some big plays to be

963
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: had for Johan Dotson. You probably won't know when they're coming.

964
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: It's gonna be maybe much more of a best ball scenario,

965
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: uh for John Dotson. But for where he's getting selected,

966
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: I'm still a little bit intrigued there. Thorn Nystrom favorite

967
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 1: is rookie tight end Ben Sennett. He's gonna need to

968
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: get past zach Ertz, which may take a while and

969
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,359
Speaker 1: maybe even all year. Maybe it's next year we're talking about. Ben.

970
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 1: Senate is a reliable fantasy starter, but certainly somebody to

971
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: watch here. They put real draft equity into him, and

972
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 1: it wouldn't take a lot to get by zach Ertz

973
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 1: at this stage of his career. So I do think

974
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: the Washington passing game gets better if if only for

975
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: some deep ball connections from Daniels based on what they

976
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: had last year for the.

977
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 3: Running people do not expect sorry to cut you off,

978
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 3: youple do not expect to send it to wait long.

979
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 3: Not saying he won't. But he's getting drafted aggressively right now,

980
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:43,799
Speaker 3: like he's getting paid like people are pegging him as

981
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:47,320
Speaker 3: like this year, Sam Laporta, that's the hype that's building

982
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,280
Speaker 3: around Senate. The price tag is getting a little little

983
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 3: hefty for me. Yeah, thanks, Thor swim Ertza. Thorn moves

984
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 3: the market yet again.

985
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: The Commanders let Antonio Gibson walk. As we mentioned earlier

986
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: in the show, they signed Austin Eckler to an eight

987
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: million dollar deal over two years, which is you know,

988
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 1: middling money, I guess for a guy of his pedigree.

989
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: But you know, Brian Robinson just isn't good. You know,

990
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: he ranked his Pro Football running Pro Football Focus is

991
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: running back forty three last year, including ranking twenty second

992
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 1: in yards after contact, which is what Brian Robinson was

993
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: supposed to be great at, and he didn't come through

994
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 1: that way at all. Chris Rodriguez got a few nice

995
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: moments at the end of last year and they ramped

996
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 1: up his usage, but it looks like it's going to

997
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:36,320
Speaker 1: be Eckler at if nothing else, Eckler's going to be

998
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,799
Speaker 1: very reliable from a past catching standpoint. I'm just not

999
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 1: sure how much of a how good he is as

1000
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: a runner anymore. He was Pro Football Focus his fifty

1001
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: first ranked runner. He dipped all the way down to

1002
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: thirty third in elusiveness and down to forty fifth and

1003
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 1: yards after the contact. So I'm nervous about what Eckler

1004
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 1: brings as a running back. And I don't like Robinson either.

1005
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,360
Speaker 1: Just don't like this running game very much. But I

1006
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: think Eckler's still going to have a spot as a

1007
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 1: receiving back. Just don't obviously, you know, nothing like what

1008
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: he's given us. In years past, Chargers were Pro football focuses.

1009
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: There's the Chargers where obviously Eckler was Last year, Chargers

1010
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: were Pro football focuses. Bottom ranked run blocking line last

1011
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: year and Washington was ninth. So hopefully Washington gets you know,

1012
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: provides him with better blocking, and maybe we get better

1013
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 1: running performances from Eckler. But I don't I can't tell

1014
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 1: you for sure that that's going to be the case.

1015
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 1: And Eckler's going off the board running back twenty seven.

1016
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: So where how do you feel? I feel like that's

1017
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,879
Speaker 1: about right for Eckler. How do you feel about that spot?

1018
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's worth taking a flyer on him

1019
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 3: there because again or not again. But for those who forgot,

1020
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two, Austin Eckler was essentially Fantasy's top

1021
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 3: player right points scorer outside of quarter One year removed

1022
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,240
Speaker 3: from that, Yeah, one year removed from that. So hopefully

1023
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 3: it was more situation last year than skill set. Like

1024
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 3: you said that, the Chargers were the worst run blocking

1025
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 3: line in the league, So hopefully behind a better line,

1026
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 3: he's probably gonna be a little a little motivated to

1027
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 3: stick to some people. I think you probably wanted to

1028
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:18,360
Speaker 3: go to a contender, right yeah, in the twilight of

1029
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 3: his career, and you didn't get much interest on the

1030
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,399
Speaker 3: market outside of Washington. So I think he wants to

1031
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 3: give a little fu to the whole league. So yeah,

1032
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 3: I'm buying at that price right now.

1033
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: Love it, love it all. Right, Well, there you go,

1034
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: the AFC and NFC East. It's a lot of teams

1035
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,919
Speaker 1: to get through. But you know, we pack everything into

1036
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:39,919
Speaker 1: just a little longer show than we normally have, which

1037
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: is fine. We get to do that here.

1038
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 3: We only talked about Brian Johnson's for like ten minutes.

1039
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 1: There is that some of it's on us, for sure.
