<v Speaker 1>I am Paul Chargy and co host this week, Brian Johnson.

0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:31.720
<v Speaker 1>It's been a while, as I am back and kind

0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 1>of back. You don't have you No, I'm not gonna lie.

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm I feel like my head is gonna explode from allergies.

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 1>It's yeah, we've had a bad allergy season here in Minnesota.

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that global warming is that allergies? I

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know. That's probably It's a lot of stuff. It's

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 1>just the fall of Western civilization. I don't I don't

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 1>want to be a Debbie downer, but any means. But

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not feeling great. But I'm here. I'm excited to

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 1>be back good and we're happy to have you back.

0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Some fantasy foot Yeah, let's do it. The next two

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 1>those are dedicated to offseason winners and losers, because now

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>with the draft behind us, free agency behind us, we

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>can pretty fairly evaluate which guys just through all the

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 1>off season machin nations ended up in a better spot

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>than expected, and guys that ended up in worse well.

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>And to clarify, we're really talking about guys who are

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.319
<v Speaker 1>on their existing team, Like we're not going to talk

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.680
<v Speaker 1>about guys. Yeah, just sort of ended un All these

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 1>players are on the same team they played for last year,

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:30.479
<v Speaker 1>and based on the off season moves and the draft,

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 1>are they a winner or a loser based on the outcomes.

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:35.119
<v Speaker 1>Some of the times, and this is a perfect example,

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 1>is going to be the first two. Some of the

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.680
<v Speaker 1>times it's guys who took a big swing, and other

0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>times it's just a gentle adjustment. We're gonna do winners

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 1>this week because and losers next week because winners come

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 1>before losers. Yeah. Uh. As a side note, before we

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 1>get into our off season winners. Brian guilloteen leagues the

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>site expected to launch in about a little over a

0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>week or so, I would guess, So we're getting very

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 1>close I out our final details and getting ready for

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>the Guillotine League season. We encourage you to stay tuned

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:13.960
<v Speaker 1>for that. Maybe a very very special surprise, possibly yes,

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.920
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be some fun stuff in there. We'll break

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:21.079
<v Speaker 1>it down on the next thing, probably an excruciating detail. Yes, yes,

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be a edition of Chop Podcast without you.

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.639
<v Speaker 1>By the way, on Monday, I'm having on JJ Zacharias

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:30.800
<v Speaker 1>and to talk about um how he went to and

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 1>oh in his two guillotine leagues last year. He won

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>them both that ain't luck and one of them was.

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:41.639
<v Speaker 1>One was an expert's league, so it was a very impressive.

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 1>It should be offended, but I won't get mad about

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 1>getting bumped for JJ's not great. Great, he's a great guest. Yeah,

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 1>and we're not I'm making you not have to come

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>over here. I appreciate it. All right, let's into my kitchen,

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>which is where we record these off season shows. What

0:02:56.000 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>are the cookies. By the way, my wife's gone surprise,

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>the house isn't on fire. Right. Uh. Quarterbacks are the

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>first order of business, and I mentioned the first two quarterbacks.

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.919
<v Speaker 1>This first guy took a big swing to the positive

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:16.960
<v Speaker 1>as his team does basically everything possible to make good

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.920
<v Speaker 1>on the draft position of to a tongo viola. Yeah,

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 1>he is certainly a winner. Despite getting continually dragged on

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:28.079
<v Speaker 1>social media, it seems like uh the latest episode uh

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 1>the underthrow video to a wide receiver will mention in

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>a minute, but uh, yeah to a definitely a big

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>offseason winner. Uh, mainly because of the trade for Tyreek Hill. Uh,

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to bomb to Tyreek Hill. You could

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>give him a little two yard shovel past. Yeah, we'll

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>take it to the house. So yeah, that's it's a

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>big boon for two who. Of course he has Jalen

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Waddle going to his second year. Uh. Dolphins also signed

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Cedric Wilson from Dallas. They did lose Davante Parker. I'd

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>say Parker is still more talented than Wilson, but Wilson's

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>more reliable in terms of staying. How the Damante Parker

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 1>uh always seem to be getting injured. They maintained Mike

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Siki tight end, who's really a more so a wide

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>receiver than a tight end. They signed Chase Edmonds, who's

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.680
<v Speaker 1>a great pass catching running back presumably gonna be there

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 1>starting running back, so the offense way better in Miami.

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 1>They also signed left tackle Toronto Armstead, uh, coming over

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 1>from New Orleans. Pro Football Focus has him ranked as

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 1>the fifth best left tackle since the eighteen season. So

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:30.719
<v Speaker 1>that's not to his blind side because he's a lefty.

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 1>It's it's a massive upgrade for the offensive line and

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>an upgraded head coach, at least from an offensive perspective,

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 1>with Mike Mike McDaniel the offensive coordinator coming over from

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:46.160
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco under the tutelage of the Kyle Shanahan offensive mastermind.

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 1>According to most, so, yeah to a toungo viola QB

0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:53.120
<v Speaker 1>seventeen right now. But they've certainly uh top twelve upside

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 1>currently round ten and top ten. To be he's he'd

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.080
<v Speaker 1>have to he'd have to take a serious jump to

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 1>get into top ten, I think, And I'll give out

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 1>the I'll give out the current ADP for all of

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>these guys, but when we talk about them, Brian, I

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't this time, but I will. I think we're gonna

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 1>almost always say this guy's being under drafted because we

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>think these are all winners of the off season, and

0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.479
<v Speaker 1>in many cases more so than is being reflected in

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the a DP. Okay, next, I menttioned a gentle winner.

0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that's Kirk Cousins because people in Minnesota will

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 1>know this is or if you follow me on Twitter.

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 1>This will not come as a shock that I'm a

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Cousin supporter that I believe have been held down by

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 1>a Mike Zimmer offense and all of the necessities to

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 1>run all the time and everything else never used to

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 1>play action. This is gonna be a potentially far better

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 1>season for Cousins, even though there was no significant change

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>in personnel outside of an upgraded guard and the return

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>to health of tight end Or Smith. But and and

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Adam feelings the last third of the season. Yeah, you know, if,

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>um if with Kevin O'Connell there, I think you're gonna

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.600
<v Speaker 1>get an uptick in just opportunities for Cousin. Now you're

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:09.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna throw a lot more period and also probably much

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 1>more effectively because they just haven't had strong offensive minds

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 1>and orient and passing orientations with this team really since

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Stefanski left. Over the past four years, has any

0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:27.279
<v Speaker 1>quarterback in fantasy football been is under drafted and has

0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>overperformed as much as Kirk Cousins, who every year goes

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>off it finishes it like quarterback twelve and gets appears

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.040
<v Speaker 1>on cheat sheets at quarterback twenty. Current ADP I should

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>mention QUB fifteen, So I think there is there is

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:42.679
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of love out there for Kirk Cousins

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>for sure. Next up, Jalen Hurts currently quarterback eleven, going

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 1>off the board in round six. Yeah, his ADP has

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 1>certainly started to rise since the trade for a J.

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.719
<v Speaker 1>Brown and that that is that's the major improvement for

0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>that Eagles offense. Uh, outside of Davante Smith who was

0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 1>a rookie last year. These are the guys heard S

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:01.599
<v Speaker 1>has been throwing too a wide receiver over the last

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:05.920
<v Speaker 1>two seasons. Jalen Reagor, Greg Ward, Quez Watkins, Travis Folgum,

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>John Hyower, j j Arthega Whiteside, and Deonte Burnett Gross.

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:15.240
<v Speaker 1>But now you've got a J. Brown DeVante Smith. See,

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 1>if you can't draft a good wide receiver, maybe you

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>should just go buy one they already know is good. Yeah,

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.560
<v Speaker 1>and I think that was a great, great deal for Philly.

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>And I also love Dallas Goddard this year. We covered

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 1>we talked a couple of months ago, but to recap quickly,

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 1>he didn't see a ton of targets last year, but

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>zach Ertz was int got it was banged up a

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 1>little bit, but Gottard average two point two points per

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 1>target in PPR leagues, which is insane. Second in yards

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>per reception among tight ends at fifteen, first in yards

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>per route run let all tight ends, and completed area

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.040
<v Speaker 1>yards per target at six point four. So I love

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>the weapons of the past game. Hurts obviously a threat

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>on the ground as well. The protection upfront is great.

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 1>The Eagles old line was ranked fourth overall by Pro

0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Football Focus last year in one. So I'm not saying

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna happen, but there is a chance Jalen Hurts

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:08.400
<v Speaker 1>is your top scoring He's got it if all if

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 1>all the cards fall the right way for him, and

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.360
<v Speaker 1>it's all about passing. I mean, his passing has not

0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 1>been up to NFL levels to this point. But if

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.960
<v Speaker 1>it comes together in your three and he can put

0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 1>together passing yards and at thirty two touchdowns through the

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 1>air and had in his in his rushing, that's how

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:30.720
<v Speaker 1>you get to quarterback one overall, which could happen. The

0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:36.000
<v Speaker 1>next quarterback is maybe the biggest offseason winner of all quarterbacks,

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and it's Derek Carr currently going off the board at

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:43.199
<v Speaker 1>quarterback sixteen with a round nine a average draft position.

0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Last year, Derek Carr put up four thousand, eight hundred

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 1>yards with Hunter renfro as his only reliable receiver. Unbelievable.

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Ruggs went away for ever, Darren Waller missed almost the

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 1>whole season, you know, and obviously gaining Davante Adams giant,

0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, gigantic move from them. But let's not forget

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:12.319
<v Speaker 1>they also added competence for depth at wide receiver Brian,

0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.680
<v Speaker 1>DeMarcus Robinson, Keelan Cole, not guys that are gonna change,

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, change games, but guys who are just competent,

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.680
<v Speaker 1>which they didn't even have. They had no competent depth

0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 1>at the receiver position. So if these guys need to

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.800
<v Speaker 1>come on the field when they're four wide, or if

0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 1>they need to fill in and a handful of spots starts,

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 1>at least the whole offense isn't at a massive downgrade

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.680
<v Speaker 1>like we had seen in the past with the Raiders

0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:40.320
<v Speaker 1>depth chart. So if Carr can repeat last year's forty

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 1>eight hundred yards with far better wide receivers, let's just

0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 1>say he repeats forty eight hundred yards Brian. And if

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 1>you think Waller is good for ten touchdowns, and if

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:54.680
<v Speaker 1>you think Adams is good for fourteen touchdowns. That puts

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 1>them that puts them in more touchdowns, and he had

0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.320
<v Speaker 1>last year Derek Carr by by themselves. That puts them

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 1>in downs right there. And if he's tracking thirty, without

0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 1>a doubt, he's gonna he'll sit right, He'll sit well

0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 1>over thirty at that point. I love Derek Carr. I'm accumulating.

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Remember I can now before everybody catches up to this,

0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.480
<v Speaker 1>he's quietly been a very good quarterback the last couple

0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 1>of years, given what's been around him. And now he

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 1>gets all the benefits of a totally new uh totally

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:24.320
<v Speaker 1>knew what should be improved coaching staff. Josh McDaniels offensive

0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.719
<v Speaker 1>minded head coach. YEA so very very high. Derek Carr

0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:33.359
<v Speaker 1>is one of my favorite offseason winners. We talk running backs.

0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 1>What's your running backs? And then then we'll take our break.

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Sounds good, we will just put it in right in

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.480
<v Speaker 1>the middle. We'll find out. We'll begin with James Conner

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Brian current ADP is running back twenty going off the

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:49.080
<v Speaker 1>board in round four. He was and a rather unexpected

0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>fantasy stalwart last year, pretty much a league winner. Eighteen

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 1>total touchdowns last season and that's with Chase Edmonds taking

0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.200
<v Speaker 1>nine touches out of that backfield. As we just talked

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:02.480
<v Speaker 1>about earlier, Chase Edmonds has taken his talents to Miami,

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.679
<v Speaker 1>kind of like Lebron James did. But Edmonds is not

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.719
<v Speaker 1>the Lebron James of running backs by any means. But yeah,

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Connor going way too late. Uh either it's RB twenty,

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.959
<v Speaker 1>I see him goes high, it's RB fifteen. He's a

0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 1>borderline first round pick. There should be um here is

0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 1>running back finishes and half point PPR during the weeks

0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:26.480
<v Speaker 1>that Edmunds missed last year RB one, RB sixteen, RB eight,

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:30.040
<v Speaker 1>RB eleven, RB two and RB three finishes for James

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.319
<v Speaker 1>Conner without Chase Edmonds, And there is no Chase Edmonds

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.800
<v Speaker 1>yet again, how I mean they didn't replace him with

0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 1>anybody that looks like a threat to Connor? No, not really.

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Uh you know, Benjamin is still around. He flashed in

0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:42.800
<v Speaker 1>one or two games when mcconnor was hurt, and they

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 1>drafted Keyante Ingram in the sixth round. He's got a

0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.079
<v Speaker 1>nice skill set, but there's not enough draft equity there

0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:51.160
<v Speaker 1>to really concern you. So yeah, James Connor, I mean,

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.480
<v Speaker 1>be the opposite guy. You know, if you've gone wide receiver,

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:59.680
<v Speaker 1>tight end, wide receiver, and out, it's round four. James

0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.520
<v Speaker 1>conn He's gonna be creeping up. His ad P will

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>be creeping up as you get into the I think,

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.720
<v Speaker 1>what what what very reasonably gives people pause on Connor.

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 1>He's not special, He's not a special talent. It's all

0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 1>opportunity here because Kyler Murray does not run the ball

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:19.320
<v Speaker 1>from inside the five yard line. It's all touchdown dependent.

0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there are there are some there are some

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 1>worries here compared to other elite running backs. You could

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 1>go wal you know, I can see the talent in

0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>in in pick a guy Dalvin Cook mean, obviously uber

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:35.440
<v Speaker 1>talented player. James Conner is a pedestrian NFL starting running back.

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:39.720
<v Speaker 1>It's all opportunity and a better pass catcher than most realize.

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 1>He's a good pass catching back. And it's worth noting, uh,

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 1>DeAndre Hopkins is gonna miss the first six weeks of

0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.079
<v Speaker 1>the first six games of the season. They could trade

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 1>for Mark He's brown, of course, but there's probably be

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:51.679
<v Speaker 1>a few more targets to go around out of that back.

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Christian Kirk gone as well. Yep, the second running back

0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 1>that is an offseason winner. Say Kwan Barkley currently going

0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 1>off the boarder running back fourteen. That's round three. It's

0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 1>reasons for optimism is its second year off his a

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.920
<v Speaker 1>c L which is great. Giants brought in no competition

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.720
<v Speaker 1>unless you count Matt Brida. Matt Brita was with new

0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.160
<v Speaker 1>head coach Brian Dable last year and Dable barely used him.

0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Then Dable is gonna be pretty good. I think is

0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.240
<v Speaker 1>a head coach field. You know, the Bill's offense was

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 1>obviously super dynamic, and they Brian Dable wrenched every ounce

0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.880
<v Speaker 1>of fantasy output out of that offense he possibly could have,

0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:36.440
<v Speaker 1>which I love. And Dable target running backs nine times

0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 1>last year with passes. Barkley is a better pass catcher

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.440
<v Speaker 1>than anybody they had last year. Singletary has it got

0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:47.240
<v Speaker 1>average hands, Zack Moss below average hands. Now, Sacan Barkley

0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 1>is a far better receiver, and he's the only guy

0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 1>who can really catch in that backfield. So your figure,

0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:59.400
<v Speaker 1>if Dabele's gonna spread around passes to this backfield, Barkley

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.640
<v Speaker 1>might have eight of those targets. Oh yeah, we've seen

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.440
<v Speaker 1>him almost We saw him get targeted twenty times in

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:08.199
<v Speaker 1>a game a few years ago with Eli Manning. But yeah, yeah,

0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 1>he's he's it's gonna be a big bounce back here

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:12.800
<v Speaker 1>for Barkley. I'm with you that. I think most people

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.880
<v Speaker 1>feel that way. Um his also a note here improvements

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 1>to New York's offensive line the first round tackle of

0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 1>and Neil. They brought in guard Mark Glowinski and then

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 1>guard center hybrid John Feliciano. So there's a lot of

0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 1>improvements for that Giant's offensive line as well, and that's

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.840
<v Speaker 1>why a lot of people, particularly in PPR, are very

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 1>very optimistic about s Kwon Barkley. Another winner for this offseason,

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:37.680
<v Speaker 1>and a massive downgrade on defense, losing corner James Bradberry

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:41.480
<v Speaker 1>due to the ineptitude of Dave Gentleman. So cap managing

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.680
<v Speaker 1>lots of lots of coming from behind for the Giants

0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:48.400
<v Speaker 1>this year. Point chasing garbage time, glorinus, that's not a word.

0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm blaming that on the allergy mids. Let's go to

0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Miles Sanders currently going off the board a running back

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven, round six. Yeah, that's way too late. He

0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 1>did have zero touch huns last year. That's what everyone's

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.560
<v Speaker 1>really focusing on I think, but uh, that's just an

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.680
<v Speaker 1>outlier to me. When healthy Sanders played more snaps inside

0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.560
<v Speaker 1>the five fifteen of them, uh than Boston Scott and

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Kenneth Gainewell and Jordan Howard combined. So it was just

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 1>bizarre he didn't get in the end zone. Jalen hurts

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:20.160
<v Speaker 1>of course, vultures and opportunities near the goal line as well.

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.960
<v Speaker 1>But uh, I think Sanders bounces back this year. He's

0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.560
<v Speaker 1>in a contract year, which some he was a bad thing,

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.080
<v Speaker 1>but I I like the fact he's in the contract

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 1>here because they might just run him into the ground

0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:35.040
<v Speaker 1>like de Marco Murray's last year and the classic example

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.080
<v Speaker 1>of most famous example. And uh so yeah, I mean

0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:42.760
<v Speaker 1>they Philly didn't draft any big name running back, or

0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.080
<v Speaker 1>any running back for that matter, as far as I know,

0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I do like Kenneth Gainwell, but he still feels like

0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:49.560
<v Speaker 1>more of the change of pace back, UH might get

0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 1>more opportunities if Sanders gets hurt. Boston Scott is back.

0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Uh scored seven touchdowns last year. How does a little

0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.800
<v Speaker 1>tiny Boston Scott score seven and Miles Sanders gets notne

0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.800
<v Speaker 1>So that's not happening this year. If anyone's scoring seven touchdowns,

0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be Miles Sanders, who, as you said, running

0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:08.400
<v Speaker 1>back twenty six right now, an insane value. And another

0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:12.000
<v Speaker 1>guy will probably see creep up his ADP creep up

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 1>as we get into the summer into drafts. Yeah, you

0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.520
<v Speaker 1>and I may have been looking at slightly different places

0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 1>for our for for our ADPs. You may hear slight

0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.920
<v Speaker 1>variations in I had seven twenty six, but people get

0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 1>the gist of it. Here's a here's a guy who

0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.520
<v Speaker 1>uh is not I don't know. This is a very

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:32.640
<v Speaker 1>I think, very slight winner. J K. Dobbins, Baltimore running back,

0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.840
<v Speaker 1>currently running back eighteen, going off the board late fourth round.

0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 1>The Ravens must feel pretty good about him returning because

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 1>between him and Gus Edwards, the team to not add

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:46.240
<v Speaker 1>any material help at the position um at. At this

0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.800
<v Speaker 1>time last year, Dobbins was a second round a DP.

0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:51.960
<v Speaker 1>He's had the full year to come back from the

0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:55.800
<v Speaker 1>A C L and really, I mean he only has

0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.000
<v Speaker 1>to hold off Gus Edwards to some degree. We know

0:16:58.040 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 1>it'll be a one to split, a one two punch.

0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Mike Davi is totally not a factor here, and both

0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 1>guys to me at a heavy discount. Gus Edwards going

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:10.719
<v Speaker 1>off the board in the seventeenth round. Right now, huge

0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:15.000
<v Speaker 1>blunder with a career average of five almost five and

0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:17.119
<v Speaker 1>a half yards per carry. I think it's because he

0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.480
<v Speaker 1>sounds his name. He sounds like he's like thirty four

0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:24.760
<v Speaker 1>years old, but I think he's only years is an

0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:28.120
<v Speaker 1>old sounding name. Let's take a break. When we come back,

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:32.000
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk about the wide receiver winners from the off season.

0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:52.960
<v Speaker 1>When we returned to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back, segment

0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.639
<v Speaker 1>number two Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Charchi and Brian Johnson

0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.840
<v Speaker 1>with you. We're going through off season winners. Next week

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:03.120
<v Speaker 1>we'll do the losers. That be a much more somber affair. Yeah,

0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:05.880
<v Speaker 1>and we we we already started making the list. There

0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of running back we could do. Also,

0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:13.080
<v Speaker 1>just on running back losing the whole season. Let's go

0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:18.120
<v Speaker 1>to the wide receivers. Let's start with generically broadly, all

0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:20.880
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos wide house. Yeah. I'm not gonna really get

0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.199
<v Speaker 1>too into the weeds with this one. Maybe not so much.

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna challenge you at the end of this time,

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.520
<v Speaker 1>the one the guy you would take first, because I've

0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.359
<v Speaker 1>been back based on a DP. I mean, I'll let

0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:32.600
<v Speaker 1>you do whatever whatever you want. All the Broncos wide

0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.199
<v Speaker 1>receivers who in order as of right now in ADP

0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.240
<v Speaker 1>is Jerry, Judy Cortland, Sutton, Tim Patrick, and kJ Hamlerer.

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Judy and Sutton. The gap is narrowed, uh, mostly because

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.439
<v Speaker 1>of the legal trouble that Judy's kind of been in.

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:47.359
<v Speaker 1>But I kind of I'm more of a Sutton guy

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.920
<v Speaker 1>than a Judy guy. But it's you're getting. You're going

0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.479
<v Speaker 1>from Teddy Bridgewater and Drew Lock to Russell Wilson and

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.440
<v Speaker 1>that's that's basically it. That is the biggest upgrade running

0:18:56.480 --> 0:19:00.080
<v Speaker 1>receiving corps in the NFL. So that's pretty much it

0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:05.280
<v Speaker 1>right there. I mean, they're all winners as opposed to

0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Teddy Bridgewater who can't throw more than thirty yards down field.

0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:11.879
<v Speaker 1>And you know, we've seen Sutton have the big the

0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:13.720
<v Speaker 1>big season because he was able to do it a

0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.240
<v Speaker 1>couple of years ago. We feel like Judy is the

0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.760
<v Speaker 1>most talented out of the group, but it hasn't materialized

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:23.040
<v Speaker 1>on field and in box scores yet. Zero touch sounds

0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:26.320
<v Speaker 1>for Judy, I believe last year, and then Tim Patrick

0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:29.960
<v Speaker 1>is just a wild card that isn't on the field

0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:32.240
<v Speaker 1>is often, but has managed to be productive every time

0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:34.120
<v Speaker 1>he's had to sub in for one of those guys

0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.800
<v Speaker 1>when they're injured, which has been a lot. So there's

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:38.480
<v Speaker 1>going to be opportunity for all of those and I

0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.920
<v Speaker 1>think the fact that they're all relevant has pushed down

0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:42.919
<v Speaker 1>their very They're all of their a dp s a

0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:45.800
<v Speaker 1>little bit. Sutton like se Kwon Barkley will be two

0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.760
<v Speaker 1>years removed from a series knee injury too, so I'm

0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:51.359
<v Speaker 1>expecting a big bounce back from Sutton. But yeah, whether

0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:54.120
<v Speaker 1>you're going a full full Broncos stack or if you're

0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:57.359
<v Speaker 1>just drafting Judy or a Sutton, I think Tim Patrick

0:19:57.520 --> 0:20:00.760
<v Speaker 1>is kind of that rare wide receiver hand you really

0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:02.400
<v Speaker 1>want to have in the event that one of them

0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:05.480
<v Speaker 1>is hurt or suspended in Jerry Judy's case, and uh

0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.720
<v Speaker 1>kJ Hamm are really more of a best ball spike

0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:10.760
<v Speaker 1>week flyer kind of guy, not a guy you want

0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:13.480
<v Speaker 1>to decide to put in your starting lineup weegin in

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:16.560
<v Speaker 1>week out unless he's clearly gonna have a full time role,

0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:19.159
<v Speaker 1>which he doesn't right now. While we're talking Broncos, we

0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:23.640
<v Speaker 1>had debated putting Albert Oh into this conversation of offseason winners,

0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:27.080
<v Speaker 1>but ultimately decided not to just because that rookie tight

0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:30.920
<v Speaker 1>end Greg Dulcinch, that dude's a beast, and he may

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.879
<v Speaker 1>really materially eat into Albert Oh's production at some point.

0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:36.720
<v Speaker 1>It may not be this year because as we just

0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:40.000
<v Speaker 1>we've talked about a million times, rookie tight ends generally

0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:42.720
<v Speaker 1>don't fare well. And he's a third rounder, not a

0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:46.399
<v Speaker 1>first rounder like say a Kyle Pitts. But still, uh,

0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, Albert Oh gets a certain amount of viability

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:51.919
<v Speaker 1>right now currently going off the board at tight end

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:54.119
<v Speaker 1>doesn't doesn't seem like the volume is going to be

0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:56.000
<v Speaker 1>there for Albert I mean, we have to worry a

0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:58.840
<v Speaker 1>little bit. Obviously, a great running game to in Denver

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:03.520
<v Speaker 1>with Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon. You know, one of

0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:05.240
<v Speaker 1>the thing I mentioned, there's a I think there's a

0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:07.920
<v Speaker 1>large there's a big notion out that Russell Wilson can't

0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:12.320
<v Speaker 1>feed tight ends, But in reality, over most of the

0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:15.760
<v Speaker 1>past four or five six years, he's just had rotating

0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:18.360
<v Speaker 1>tight ends that and he and he disperses the ball

0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:19.919
<v Speaker 1>among a lot of different tight ends with the way

0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:21.480
<v Speaker 1>they used him in Seattle, but if you rolled up

0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:23.920
<v Speaker 1>all of their tightens together, he has usage on tight

0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:27.280
<v Speaker 1>ends is actually pretty NFL average. Yeah. And also a

0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:31.639
<v Speaker 1>f C West, all of those divisional games are fireworks

0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:34.680
<v Speaker 1>everyone between the Raiders and the Chiefs and the Chargers,

0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:37.600
<v Speaker 1>they all feel like good games. So that's six. That's

0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:40.320
<v Speaker 1>like almost six guaranteed shootouts for each a f C

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:42.479
<v Speaker 1>West team right there. I like, you know, those are

0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:44.840
<v Speaker 1>the rare divisional games are gonna lave. Okay, So let's

0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 1>move on from Lebroncos to another offseason wide receiver winner

0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:52.120
<v Speaker 1>see de Lamb. I think he's as big an off

0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:54.120
<v Speaker 1>season winner as there is out of this whole list

0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:56.760
<v Speaker 1>currently wide receiver eight. I have him higher in my

0:21:56.840 --> 0:21:58.680
<v Speaker 1>cheat sheet. He's going off the board in round two.

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:02.560
<v Speaker 1>The off season trade of Amari Cooper is, of course huge,

0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:06.479
<v Speaker 1>but so is the late season a C L suffered

0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:09.440
<v Speaker 1>by Michael Gallup. His availability for the start of the

0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:12.520
<v Speaker 1>season is very much in question. And then Cedric Wilson,

0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:15.520
<v Speaker 1>who was good in relief last year, goes off to

0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:19.159
<v Speaker 1>Miami and all they did was bring in James Washington,

0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:22.640
<v Speaker 1>who has done nothing but underperform in his time in Pittsburgh.

0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:26.120
<v Speaker 1>They did draft Jalen Tilbert, who's some, but he's he's

0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:29.520
<v Speaker 1>a Brookie. He's he's a good project, the heal factor.

0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, no, I'm with you. Ceedee Lamb not getting

0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:35.320
<v Speaker 1>drafted as latest Cooper Cup last year, but he feels

0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:38.480
<v Speaker 1>like the guy that could take that meteorc leap that

0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the Cup did last year. Lamb. The biggest threats for

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:45.239
<v Speaker 1>Ceedee Lamb for targets are is running back in tight end.

0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's just it's just it's such a key spot.

0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:51.359
<v Speaker 1>Frem and I'll mention this as well. Now with Amari

0:22:51.400 --> 0:22:54.239
<v Speaker 1>Cooper out, Uh, he's gonna move outside. I really think

0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:56.880
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna play him largely outside, where he was more

0:22:57.040 --> 0:23:00.760
<v Speaker 1>and more effective and consistent fan of S producer then

0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:03.040
<v Speaker 1>he has been when he's worked primarily from the slot.

0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:10.919
<v Speaker 1>Next offseason winner Darnell Mooney wide receiver twenty nine in

0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:14.879
<v Speaker 1>average draft position, round six. Yeah, he's going way too

0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:17.199
<v Speaker 1>late for me. A guy I've been targeting Uh in

0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:22.160
<v Speaker 1>drafts since January. But last season, one of sixteen wide

0:23:22.160 --> 0:23:25.520
<v Speaker 1>receivers with more than eighty catches in one thousand yards,

0:23:25.560 --> 0:23:30.320
<v Speaker 1>he forced twenty seven miss tackles on He has forced

0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:33.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven miss tackles on reception since entering the league

0:23:33.119 --> 0:23:36.359
<v Speaker 1>in twenty that's tied for seventh among wide receivers in

0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:38.719
<v Speaker 1>that span. In that span, and this year, he'll be

0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:43.120
<v Speaker 1>competing for wide receiver targets with Quinnemiss st. Brown Byron Pringle,

0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Uh Villis Jones Jr. Probably one of the worst draft picks.

0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:51.119
<v Speaker 1>Uh proved me wrong, Vilis, but everyone's down on Villas.

0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Dante Pettis, your old boy, Dante Pettis used have a

0:23:54.440 --> 0:23:58.679
<v Speaker 1>shot for Don and J sharp, so I will be well,

0:23:58.720 --> 0:24:01.359
<v Speaker 1>I didn't, I did not know Don. Hey Pettis, I'm sorry.

0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't help myself. I couldn't help me. He was

0:24:03.760 --> 0:24:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you know what you didn't. What you don't always know

0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:09.560
<v Speaker 1>is that a guy ain't that sharp. It's hard to

0:24:09.560 --> 0:24:11.760
<v Speaker 1>know from the outside, and I think that's what's derailed

0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Dante Pettis's career as much as anything else. But I

0:24:14.520 --> 0:24:17.840
<v Speaker 1>will be shocked if Mooney doesn't command at least fifty

0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:22.360
<v Speaker 1>targets this season. And like Ceedee Lamb, his primary competition

0:24:22.400 --> 0:24:24.520
<v Speaker 1>is probably gonna be his tight end cole Commit and

0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:27.919
<v Speaker 1>probably running backs to its, notably to other wide receivers

0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:31.640
<v Speaker 1>poor justin fields they've given. We'll talk about justin fields

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:34.399
<v Speaker 1>next year. Him we're talking about losers because he is

0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:40.720
<v Speaker 1>steadfastly in that group of off season losers. Next winner

0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Risshad Bateman Baltimore Ravens wide receiver, currently wide receiver forty

0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:48.840
<v Speaker 1>in a DP going off the board in round nine. Now,

0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:51.639
<v Speaker 1>it was a disappointing rookie season for a shot Bateman.

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I think, no matter how you look at that season,

0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:55.639
<v Speaker 1>he had he lost the first third of the season

0:24:56.400 --> 0:25:00.119
<v Speaker 1>to injury. Then he came in and just didn't do

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:03.600
<v Speaker 1>any very much with the opportunity. But the team loses.

0:25:03.640 --> 0:25:06.199
<v Speaker 1>Marquis Brown traded Marquis Brown away. I think they had

0:25:06.240 --> 0:25:08.399
<v Speaker 1>decided already Brown didn't want to be there. We know

0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:11.280
<v Speaker 1>that he wanted to go elsewhere and maybe teamed up

0:25:11.320 --> 0:25:15.000
<v Speaker 1>with his college quarterback Kyler Murray's. They trade him away

0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:17.000
<v Speaker 1>and maybe they decided already they weren't going to pay

0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:19.840
<v Speaker 1>him when Markus Brown was gonna want to get paid.

0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:24.639
<v Speaker 1>But the next biggest target threat among wide receivers for

0:25:24.680 --> 0:25:30.439
<v Speaker 1>a Shot Bateman is Devin DuVernay, who they even scored

0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:33.560
<v Speaker 1>just once last year. UM, and even when his his

0:25:33.720 --> 0:25:36.679
<v Speaker 1>snap counts started to go up in December, and it

0:25:36.760 --> 0:25:39.119
<v Speaker 1>never liked went massively up. But when it went up

0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:42.640
<v Speaker 1>and he was getting like fifty five sixty snaps a game,

0:25:43.840 --> 0:25:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the productivity still wasn't there. And you know, Brian, I

0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:50.280
<v Speaker 1>went back. I looked at a handful of plays from

0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:52.679
<v Speaker 1>last year, trying to get more more looks at him.

0:25:52.680 --> 0:25:54.840
<v Speaker 1>And then I went to all the metrics like cushion

0:25:54.920 --> 0:25:57.640
<v Speaker 1>yards and yards after catch and targeted air yards. I'm

0:25:57.640 --> 0:26:00.760
<v Speaker 1>trying to find anything to counter at my eye test

0:26:00.760 --> 0:26:04.760
<v Speaker 1>and Rashad Bateman, that just he looked so pedestrian and

0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:08.760
<v Speaker 1>unlike how he looked as a Minnesota Golden Gopher when

0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:13.679
<v Speaker 1>he was dominating defenses. UM. But your best reason for

0:26:13.720 --> 0:26:16.080
<v Speaker 1>optimism here. In four games in which he had eight

0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:21.360
<v Speaker 1>or more targets last year, Rashad Bateman averaged seventy three yards. Yeah,

0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:23.240
<v Speaker 1>he'll be he'll be more of a force in PPR

0:26:23.359 --> 0:26:26.159
<v Speaker 1>full PPR. That's exactly where I think he's going to

0:26:26.240 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 1>help out. And I think the one land mine that

0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Bateman and Darnell Mooney need to avoid, it's the last

0:26:32.720 --> 0:26:35.399
<v Speaker 1>big name receiver that is still a free agent, and

0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:37.560
<v Speaker 1>it's not Julio Jones and it's not Odell Beckham because

0:26:37.560 --> 0:26:40.159
<v Speaker 1>they're both pretty much decomposing corpses at this time. But

0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 1>uh is will Fuller, and I think he's a great

0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:45.320
<v Speaker 1>fit for the Bears or the Ravens one or the other.

0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:47.639
<v Speaker 1>So we'll see what happens with him. But as of

0:26:47.720 --> 0:26:49.840
<v Speaker 1>right now, Will Fuller is not a Bear nor a Raven.

0:26:49.880 --> 0:26:54.800
<v Speaker 1>So that dude stole ten million last year. Let's go

0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:59.240
<v Speaker 1>to Michael Pittman. He's currently wide receiver twenty one. His

0:26:59.280 --> 0:27:02.000
<v Speaker 1>average draft is Asian is in the in the fourth round,

0:27:02.960 --> 0:27:06.880
<v Speaker 1>the Indianapolis Colts receiver. Why do you feel like he

0:27:07.080 --> 0:27:10.320
<v Speaker 1>was an offseason winner? Uh? Just six touchdowns last year,

0:27:10.359 --> 0:27:12.560
<v Speaker 1>but he was top fifteen in catches and yards among

0:27:12.560 --> 0:27:16.520
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers. Um. But it's basically he had an upgraded

0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:18.480
<v Speaker 1>quarterback with Matt Ryan, who I'm not a huge fan of,

0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:21.720
<v Speaker 1>but it's still a massive improvement over over Carson Wentz

0:27:22.119 --> 0:27:25.119
<v Speaker 1>in my mind. And they did draft Alec Pierce in

0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:28.000
<v Speaker 1>the second round out of Cincinnati. The Colts did, who

0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I like, but I think Pierce's presence will only help

0:27:31.480 --> 0:27:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Pittman will help Pittman. Pittman help Pittman more than hurt him, um,

0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:39.840
<v Speaker 1>because defense is really focused on him in terms of

0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:42.040
<v Speaker 1>the passing game. If the Jonathan Taylor, of course the

0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:45.119
<v Speaker 1>Colts offense ran through him. But uh, Pittman's just a

0:27:45.160 --> 0:27:49.080
<v Speaker 1>beast uh six four like to forty just speaking of beasts,

0:27:49.200 --> 0:27:51.959
<v Speaker 1>not with mo Alei Cox and Gelanni Wood like they

0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:55.119
<v Speaker 1>got some they and Alec Pierce is a pretty big

0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:57.959
<v Speaker 1>guy too. I think six two six three some serious

0:27:58.000 --> 0:27:59.720
<v Speaker 1>size and that in that Colts offense. But yeah, Michael

0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:03.359
<v Speaker 1>Pittman right now, going you said wide receiver twenty, I've

0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:05.720
<v Speaker 1>seen late teens. He's another guy who I think we

0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:09.440
<v Speaker 1>could see creep into that top twelve uh range among

0:28:09.440 --> 0:28:13.119
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers. So I just think, yeah, they didn't. They

0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:15.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't draft a big, big name. Alex Pierce is gonna

0:28:15.600 --> 0:28:17.399
<v Speaker 1>be a good player, but I don't think he steals

0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:19.080
<v Speaker 1>an up shine from Pittman this year. So I think

0:28:19.080 --> 0:28:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Pittman is gonna be in for a big, big season

0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:26.440
<v Speaker 1>next up. Alan Lazard, green Bay Packers wide receiver offseason

0:28:26.440 --> 0:28:31.400
<v Speaker 1>winner wide receiver fifty going off the board in round eleven,

0:28:32.200 --> 0:28:35.240
<v Speaker 1>green Bay could have reasonably used both of their first

0:28:35.400 --> 0:28:38.400
<v Speaker 1>round picks on wide receivers. As it turns out, they

0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:41.520
<v Speaker 1>didn't use any of them on wide receiver, and I

0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:44.440
<v Speaker 1>think ultimately that helps. They did add, obviously, Christian Watson

0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:46.840
<v Speaker 1>in the second round, and I think ultimately that's a

0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:51.040
<v Speaker 1>win for Lozard, although I like Watson too. Um because

0:28:51.120 --> 0:28:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Lazard opens the year as the air apparent to a

0:28:54.080 --> 0:28:58.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of Davante Adams absurd one hundred sixty nine targets

0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:01.120
<v Speaker 1>last year. I mean, though one sixty nine are gonna

0:29:01.120 --> 0:29:02.760
<v Speaker 1>have to go someplace, it's not all gonna go to

0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:05.880
<v Speaker 1>rookie receiver Christian Wattson. Lizard is gonna get a lot

0:29:05.920 --> 0:29:09.320
<v Speaker 1>of it. Lazard is not a special talent. He's I

0:29:09.320 --> 0:29:12.160
<v Speaker 1>think he is a fairly ordinary receiver talent. But he

0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:16.640
<v Speaker 1>comes in as the outstarting the number one incumbent veteran

0:29:16.760 --> 0:29:21.080
<v Speaker 1>receiver for Aaron Rodgers. That's worth a lot Randall Cobbs

0:29:21.120 --> 0:29:22.840
<v Speaker 1>the only other receiver with any kind of history with

0:29:22.920 --> 0:29:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers, and just I didn't buy virtue of being

0:29:25.680 --> 0:29:28.440
<v Speaker 1>a veteran receiver catching passes from Aaron Rodgers. Lazard is

0:29:28.440 --> 0:29:31.000
<v Speaker 1>being drafted too late wide receiver fifty. To me, he

0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:33.240
<v Speaker 1>feels like a guy you could just put into your

0:29:33.560 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver three spot every week and just forget about it,

0:29:36.960 --> 0:29:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and he'll pay off, you know, half of the time,

0:29:39.560 --> 0:29:43.200
<v Speaker 1>two thirds of the time, solid games. Forty catches, five

0:29:43.440 --> 0:29:47.040
<v Speaker 1>dred yards, eight touchdowns on sixty targets. That's it. Double

0:29:48.160 --> 0:29:50.640
<v Speaker 1>the targets, right, You're talking a thousand yards and double

0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:55.920
<v Speaker 1>digit touched, digit touchdowns and close to right wide receiver fifty.

0:29:56.280 --> 0:29:59.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, way too late. Yeah, agreed. Let's go over

0:29:59.320 --> 0:30:02.160
<v Speaker 1>to the tight end position, Brian, and let's talk about

0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:06.280
<v Speaker 1>the offseason winners. There. We begin in Dallas with Dalton Schultz.

0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:08.239
<v Speaker 1>We already talked about Ceedee Lamb. We talked about all

0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the receiving options that are now gone at Dalton Schaltz

0:30:11.280 --> 0:30:13.960
<v Speaker 1>stands to benefit as well. Yeah, we pretty much alluded

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:17.120
<v Speaker 1>to this already. You said he could, uh, Dalton Schultz,

0:30:17.120 --> 0:30:18.800
<v Speaker 1>that is, could easily be the top option in the

0:30:18.800 --> 0:30:21.479
<v Speaker 1>passing game after Ceedee Lamb. And I'm with you, And

0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Schultz wasn't the second option last year. He was. I

0:30:24.880 --> 0:30:27.440
<v Speaker 1>would still call him third behind Ceedee Lamb and Mary Cooper,

0:30:27.480 --> 0:30:30.080
<v Speaker 1>but uh, he was one of three tight ends with

0:30:30.080 --> 0:30:32.120
<v Speaker 1>at least eight hundred yards and eight touchdowns. The other

0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:35.160
<v Speaker 1>two were Travis Kelsey and Mark Andrews. A. Yeah, he

0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:37.400
<v Speaker 1>was also one of six tight ends the top one

0:30:37.440 --> 0:30:40.320
<v Speaker 1>hundred targets and finished third and catches at the position

0:30:40.720 --> 0:30:44.280
<v Speaker 1>as the third, maybe even fourth option in the past game,

0:30:44.320 --> 0:30:47.160
<v Speaker 1>probably at least of the third, and like you've said

0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:49.200
<v Speaker 1>a couple of times already might be the second uh

0:30:49.280 --> 0:30:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Dak Prescott's second option in the past game. So big

0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:54.080
<v Speaker 1>time winning for Dalton Schultz and Blake Jarwin. I don't

0:30:54.160 --> 0:30:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if he's even in the league anymore.

0:30:55.600 --> 0:31:00.280
<v Speaker 1>He's gone, he's on. He had I remember we talked

0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:01.960
<v Speaker 1>about this when we're doing like divisional reviews. He had

0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:06.720
<v Speaker 1>a hip injury where no football player had suffered it

0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:10.040
<v Speaker 1>or returned from it, return from it only like hockey

0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:11.840
<v Speaker 1>is like an athlete come back from this kind of

0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:14.360
<v Speaker 1>hip injury. So that sucks for Jarwin and in Dallas.

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 1>The way hockey players use their hips all the time,

0:31:16.520 --> 0:31:18.480
<v Speaker 1>use it to skate, you get hip checked, you get

0:31:18.680 --> 0:31:20.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's all kinds of things that's good, that's

0:31:20.960 --> 0:31:25.040
<v Speaker 1>weird that hopefully hopefully Jarwin can skate. That's that's the case. Um,

0:31:25.280 --> 0:31:26.960
<v Speaker 1>you put this on my list, and I'm a little

0:31:26.960 --> 0:31:30.040
<v Speaker 1>bit hesitant to even go here, but Travis Kelsey is

0:31:30.040 --> 0:31:32.640
<v Speaker 1>an offseason winner. I don't necessarily agree as much as

0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:35.200
<v Speaker 1>you do on this, but I will I will. I'll

0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:38.600
<v Speaker 1>give it a slim pickens a tight end. So he's

0:31:38.640 --> 0:31:40.800
<v Speaker 1>thirty two years old, which doesn't make him dead. But

0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City did not acquire via draft or free agency

0:31:43.720 --> 0:31:45.920
<v Speaker 1>or anything else, any other tight end or any air

0:31:45.960 --> 0:31:49.800
<v Speaker 1>apparent to Travis Kelsey, so presumably he'll have the same

0:31:50.000 --> 0:31:52.960
<v Speaker 1>fairly massive role that he had before. Of course, you know,

0:31:53.040 --> 0:31:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Tyreek Hill leaves, but for me, this is a push

0:31:56.160 --> 0:31:59.480
<v Speaker 1>on Tyree Kill leaving. Sure, he's not gonna be siphoning

0:31:59.480 --> 0:32:01.600
<v Speaker 1>off all the time touches that Tyreek Hill had, and

0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:03.520
<v Speaker 1>sky Moore is not going to get all of those touches,

0:32:03.880 --> 0:32:05.960
<v Speaker 1>but he also doesn't have Hill to open up the

0:32:05.960 --> 0:32:08.600
<v Speaker 1>middle of the field like he used to mean. Tyreek

0:32:08.640 --> 0:32:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Hill running out of the slot and dashing through the

0:32:11.480 --> 0:32:15.840
<v Speaker 1>middle of the field was pulling linebackers and safeties away

0:32:16.080 --> 0:32:20.040
<v Speaker 1>from Travis Kelsey, and you'll lose that a little bit.

0:32:20.120 --> 0:32:21.959
<v Speaker 1>So I really, in my heart, I believe there's more,

0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:24.520
<v Speaker 1>just like a push off season for Travis Kelsey, but

0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:26.440
<v Speaker 1>I think some could see it as an upsider. I

0:32:26.440 --> 0:32:28.400
<v Speaker 1>just think Mahomes will lean on him a little more

0:32:28.400 --> 0:32:31.719
<v Speaker 1>than usual. He certainly has leaned on him a lot already. Now,

0:32:31.800 --> 0:32:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Kelsey's ADPs tight in one right now, one round, almost

0:32:35.320 --> 0:32:39.240
<v Speaker 1>exactly one round ahead of Andrews. We've talked about, we

0:32:39.360 --> 0:32:43.520
<v Speaker 1>talked earlier about how the Ravens have very few other

0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:45.360
<v Speaker 1>places to go here. I think you can make a

0:32:45.400 --> 0:32:48.760
<v Speaker 1>case that Andrews is more of an off season winner

0:32:48.800 --> 0:32:52.560
<v Speaker 1>than Kelsey is. With the dearth of receiving options there,

0:32:54.560 --> 0:33:00.480
<v Speaker 1>who would you take first, Kelsey or Andrews? Really? I

0:33:00.520 --> 0:33:02.640
<v Speaker 1>know this isn't the answer you want, but it's neither.

0:33:02.760 --> 0:33:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I'd wait a little longer until I didn't take my book,

0:33:05.360 --> 0:33:07.080
<v Speaker 1>but if I had to, I mean, I would still

0:33:07.080 --> 0:33:10.800
<v Speaker 1>take Kelsey first. I'm on Andrews just be you know.

0:33:11.120 --> 0:33:12.720
<v Speaker 1>And I love Kelsey and I've got him in a

0:33:12.760 --> 0:33:15.680
<v Speaker 1>bajillion leagues last year, you know, the last several years,

0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I've lobbied for people to take him in the first round. Um.

0:33:19.160 --> 0:33:21.920
<v Speaker 1>The thing with Andrews his like he had a great season,

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:23.880
<v Speaker 1>but he had like his monster games. We all with

0:33:24.360 --> 0:33:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Huntley. I think not Lamar Jackson. Yeah, he did

0:33:28.560 --> 0:33:31.680
<v Speaker 1>have a get a third amount of based on Kelsey

0:33:31.760 --> 0:33:34.920
<v Speaker 1>had like a six week long last year. That rattled

0:33:34.960 --> 0:33:37.520
<v Speaker 1>me just a little bit, and it just started to

0:33:37.600 --> 0:33:39.280
<v Speaker 1>plan at the seed, like do I want to get

0:33:39.280 --> 0:33:43.320
<v Speaker 1>out a year early on Andrews or sorry on Kelsey?

0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I want to you know, do I want to be

0:33:44.800 --> 0:33:46.440
<v Speaker 1>the guy? Do I don't do? I you know, I'd

0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:48.440
<v Speaker 1>rather get out of year early. This could certainly be

0:33:48.480 --> 0:33:51.520
<v Speaker 1>the year that the torch is passed from Kelsey to Andrews.

0:33:51.960 --> 0:33:54.520
<v Speaker 1>But no, Kyle Pitts is gonna snatch that torch and

0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:57.760
<v Speaker 1>away with it. I could, but I listened to the

0:33:57.760 --> 0:33:59.920
<v Speaker 1>show last week and I heard you and Matt I

0:34:00.000 --> 0:34:02.240
<v Speaker 1>have to take a jab at me and Kyle Pitts

0:34:02.240 --> 0:34:04.680
<v Speaker 1>and it wasn't appreciated. But I still like you guys.

0:34:04.680 --> 0:34:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I guess thank you. Cole Commet currently tight ends seventeen.

0:34:08.040 --> 0:34:10.399
<v Speaker 1>You believe he is an offseason winner. Yeah. It kind

0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:12.880
<v Speaker 1>of just goes back to the Darnell Mooney discussion. We

0:34:12.960 --> 0:34:15.720
<v Speaker 1>just had um commit probably going to be the second

0:34:16.160 --> 0:34:18.560
<v Speaker 1>option in the passing games. Zero touchdowns last year not

0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:21.080
<v Speaker 1>a good thing. But Jimmy Graham had three touchdowns. He's

0:34:21.160 --> 0:34:23.840
<v Speaker 1>he's gone, I would hope. So I'm not confirmed that.

0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm just assuming he has gone. But Commit one of

0:34:26.560 --> 0:34:29.200
<v Speaker 1>nine tight ends with at least sixty catches six hundred

0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:33.279
<v Speaker 1>yards and no no, no threat came in at the

0:34:33.280 --> 0:34:36.200
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver position, and it's it's gonna be Commit in

0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:37.799
<v Speaker 1>the in the red zone. I would think he's gonna

0:34:37.800 --> 0:34:40.880
<v Speaker 1>be the top option for justin fields, not saying that

0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:44.160
<v Speaker 1>being the red zone a lot in Chicago, but at

0:34:44.200 --> 0:34:46.120
<v Speaker 1>tight end fifteen right now, I think there is top

0:34:46.160 --> 0:34:48.279
<v Speaker 1>ten upside with Commett if you if you can see

0:34:48.280 --> 0:34:51.400
<v Speaker 1>the volume, and I think he will. David and Joeku

0:34:51.600 --> 0:34:54.520
<v Speaker 1>from the Browns currently tied in number twenty two, an

0:34:54.520 --> 0:34:58.879
<v Speaker 1>average draft position. He got the offseason franchise tag, which

0:34:58.880 --> 0:35:01.239
<v Speaker 1>I did not see coming at the beginning of the

0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:04.920
<v Speaker 1>off season, and it suggests that Ninjoku's spike in usage

0:35:05.000 --> 0:35:08.000
<v Speaker 1>last year probably not a fluke. They let Austin Hooper

0:35:08.000 --> 0:35:11.000
<v Speaker 1>go in the in the off season, and Harrison Bryant

0:35:11.480 --> 0:35:16.440
<v Speaker 1>just didn't develop in year two last season. Still plenty

0:35:16.440 --> 0:35:20.640
<v Speaker 1>of turmoil among Cleveland's quarterback positions, which makes me a

0:35:20.680 --> 0:35:23.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit worried about in Joko and then in Joeku

0:35:24.080 --> 0:35:30.480
<v Speaker 1>has just been incredibly untrustworthy and unpredictable as a fantasy

0:35:30.520 --> 0:35:35.120
<v Speaker 1>factor throughout his entire career. You're really banking on him

0:35:35.200 --> 0:35:40.239
<v Speaker 1>becoming a lock number one, beating out Harrison Bryant, not

0:35:40.320 --> 0:35:44.000
<v Speaker 1>being part of a rotation, and becoming a predictable fantasy producer,

0:35:44.320 --> 0:35:45.880
<v Speaker 1>none of which has ever been the case that throughout

0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:48.040
<v Speaker 1>his career. Cleveland's got to give him that chance. This

0:35:48.120 --> 0:35:52.040
<v Speaker 1>year they took him in the first round back. Yeah,

0:35:52.280 --> 0:35:54.760
<v Speaker 1>and he's he's only he's gonna turn twenty six this summer.

0:35:54.800 --> 0:35:57.480
<v Speaker 1>He's still going. Yes, I mean, they should have done

0:35:57.480 --> 0:35:59.120
<v Speaker 1>this a couple of years ago. They never shouldn't even

0:35:59.120 --> 0:36:01.200
<v Speaker 1>signed Austin Hooper in my opinion, So yeah, this is

0:36:01.239 --> 0:36:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the time to give in joekup hundred targets at least,

0:36:04.000 --> 0:36:08.560
<v Speaker 1>and she's a hundred I take it. How about That's

0:36:08.600 --> 0:36:10.680
<v Speaker 1>that even that would be a massive uptick for him,

0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:13.480
<v Speaker 1>But we'd take that too. Um. I think that's it's

0:36:13.600 --> 0:36:15.719
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a little stretch, but I would. I'd

0:36:15.719 --> 0:36:17.399
<v Speaker 1>like to see him do it. They paid there, they

0:36:17.440 --> 0:36:20.880
<v Speaker 1>franchised him, so obviously they plan to use him. You

0:36:20.920 --> 0:36:23.520
<v Speaker 1>don't franchise a guy that's not an integral part of

0:36:23.560 --> 0:36:29.640
<v Speaker 1>your offensive scheme, at least in theory. Next week losers,

0:36:29.080 --> 0:36:33.319
<v Speaker 1>the big goal losers, Well we'll talk that through next week.

0:36:33.600 --> 0:36:35.600
