WEBVTT - Poopy Paths 0:00:01.360 --> 0:00:05.040 Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeartRadio. 0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:11.440 Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly 0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:15.480 source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, and 0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:18.200 whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show. 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:20.680 Now here's your host, Paul Chargian. 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:26.640 Welcome everybody. I am Paul Charchie and it's Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:27.640 Joining me again. 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:31.920 Like last week, thorn Eister Mischieval really put a rap 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:36.400 on most of our very draft specific coverage. You know, 0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:38.479 at this point, now we're a couple of weeks out, 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.640 and you know, I feel like we've covered a lot 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.159 of bases leading up to the draft, the draft itself. 0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.360 We did a first round show last week. We talked 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:49.680 about the ideal landing spots, guys that fell into spots 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:52.519 where we think they can have immediate impact. Now we're 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.600 gonna flip it overor we're gonna talk about some of 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:59.800 the guys that we feel like good players, but guys 0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:02.920 that didn't really fall into spots or they have as 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:05.360 nearly as easy an opportunity for immediate success. 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:07.360 That's right. Yeah, you got to roll with the punches 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.720 in life, and some of these guys their initial step 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.720 acclimation into the NFL. They have some tougher situations to 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:14.040 work through than some of the guys that we were 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:15.800 talking about last week. So we're going to talk about 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:17.279 those some of those situations today. 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.200 So we're not suggesting these players are never gonna have 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:22.120 fantasy value or that they're not good players. A lot 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:24.560 of times we like these players, we don't like the situation. 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.760 What we are saying is they've got complicated paths to 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:33.400 achieve reliable fantasy success, particularly in the short term. Mostly 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.560 I've done I've called this list together from players who 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.560 have are that were taken between rounds two and four 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:41.160 because I don't think there's a lot of value going well, 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.080 this seventh rounder didn't really hit a great. 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:43.440 Spot, you know. 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.039 So you know, we're talking about good players that just 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:47.520 fall fell into tough spots. 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:49.720 And like last week, I want to start the running 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:50.160 back position. 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.520 We've got a lot of running backs that really fell 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:55.200 into tough spots. So this was a thin running back 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.160 draft anyway, right didn't have the big high end talent, 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.320 and then some of these guys fell into bad So 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.960 let'speaking with Blake coorm False goes to the Rams in 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.400 round three. He's currently going off the board at picks 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:09.240 seventeen in non superflex rookie drafts. And obviously the problem 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:13.040 is Kyron Williams was really good last year. You know, 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.240 Sean McVay, you know, middle of the pack. You know 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:21.240 he's he's not a run heavy cours play caller. So 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:23.960 the competition with Kavi Williams Williams is real. What are 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:25.880 your thoughts on this spot for Blake. 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.280 Korm Yeah, I think that they took him in order 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.320 to try to protect themselves as an insurance policy against 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.840 the Kyron Williams injury. Obviously, with the size with Kien Williams, 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.200 using him as a bell cow every single season, with 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.920 the usage they were giving them last season is not 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.120 going to work out long term. You're gonna get him injured. 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.560 And the way that they did this, it's interesting. With Korum, 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.800 I think the quorum initially bites heavily into the early 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.960 down work of Kien Williams. Kyen Williams will be on 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.040 the field for all the all the passing downs and 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.160 everything like that, and I'm not saying that. 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.560 So you're saying Blake Koram is going to start. And 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:03.440 if you think that's the case when well. 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:07.280 I think right from the get it's the early down stuff. Okay, yeah, 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:10.800 but the offense they're the constitution of it. It's so 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.840 much of the passing and Kyen Williams. You're not taking 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.400 him off the field for that, but in order to 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.400 keep him on the field and guarantee that you have 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.920 Karen Williams into the playoff theoretical playoff run. Yeah, I 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.600 think you know, again the buying the insurance policy here 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:29.040 with Quorum, and Quorum's thing is it's that stuff, the 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.200 efficiency on the ground, which obviously they leveraged so much 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.000 on the last year's national title team at Michigan. They're 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.440 going to like the patience with him, the vision and 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:40.520 then the agility, the way that he sets guys up 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.400 and then forces the off angle attempts, the early down efficiency, 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:45.960 and I think that that's what they're bringing him in 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.800 for and again in order to increase the odds that 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:53.000 they have Kien Williams healthy the entire season. Karen Williams, 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.640 his owners probably didn't like to see that, but you're 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.480 still going to get all the passing down stuff with him. 0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.800 But yeah, the early down work, I think Quorum takes 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.600 a bit bite out of it as a rookie. All right. 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.120 Interesting, So if that's the case, he's currently going off 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.200 the board to pick seventeen non super flex rookie drafts. 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.360 Is that too late? Do you think you should go higher? 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.240 Most people, I mean, the consensus thinking is that Karen 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.440 Williams was so efficient in this Rams offense last year, 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.440 that Williams is going to be is going to be 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.800 the primary and that Koran maybe you know, worked in 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.120 a little bit here and there, picked their spots, maybe 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:24.640 some passing downs, things like that. 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:26.440 You're flipping the narrative a little bit. 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:30.240 It might it might be a little bit. Yeah, Koran 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.520 could have found a better landing if. 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:36.240 Dallas, Dallas would have been great, Chargers would have been great. 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.760 The other side of La Absolutely there was ones that 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.200 were better. But I think that he's going to get 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.920 a bit more work as a rookie than people are 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.080 giving it credit for. And if Karen Williams gets injured 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:48.320 at Cours, then now then it's game. 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.320 It potentially a top ten for fantasy running back at 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.719 that point. Next let's go to Ray Davis, who drops 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.000 into Buffalo. Now, I like Ray Davis, and I texted. 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:58.760 You about a week before the draft. 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.360 Yes, because I finally up on Ray Davis and I'm 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.920 looking at his games. I'm like, man, this guy was productive. 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.280 They used him a lot of different ways. There were 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.640 a lot of things I liked about Ray Davis's game. 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.359 But he falls into Buffalo where James Cook is the 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.000 established starter and he's earned the right to get first carries, 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:19.320 and most of Sean McDermott's tenure a Buffalo, he's employed 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.360 a committee backfield, and then of course, on top of 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.360 all that, Josh Allen steals a lot of close in touchdowns. 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.200 So I don't like this landing spot for Ray Davis. 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.120 What are your thoughts as far as the evaluation itself? 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.280 And I'm rooting for Ray Davis a kid. People look 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.120 up his background. He's an inspirational story. And not only 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.960 that when he gets to college, he fought through bad 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.240 situations throughout. It was at Temple at the start, and 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.719 then later on Vandy and then he finally gets to Kentucky. 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:46.000 Yeah. 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.760 Yeah, but he was getting ganged up on initially at 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:50.919 those spots because he was the only offensive player that 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.400 they had, and he would fight through all these loaded 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.800 boxes and then when he got to Kentucky, especially the 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.560 last season, you saw a little bit different. Where earlier 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.680 on been more the short yardage grinder guy and had 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.960 a bigger build. He clearly worked on his body to 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.160 try to improve the athletic testing, got a little bit smaller, 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.360 got down to two to eleven, bowling ball type guy, 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.200 another one of those five eight and a half. My 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:18.160 is my concern with his EVO is is he maxed out? 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.000 Is he another key Sean Vaughn. That is what we'll 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.680 have to see going to Buffalo. If it works out 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.560 for him as far as early on, it's because he 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.400 has taken the early down work and James Cook, you know, 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:32.599 essentially becomes what I was just suggesting that Kyron Williams 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.640 will be, and then Davis can steal some of that 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.880 Blake Korum early downwork here because Buffalo doesn't have a 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.800 lot of early down candidates for that. But like you 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.880 mentioned when when we're talking about fantasy, you want some 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.560 of those those high leverage opportunities to be a clear 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.159 pathway to that the touchdowns if it's going if you know, 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.040 he's not going to be getting any catches, which in 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.040 Buffalo they're not going to be using Ray Davis as 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.320 a result, you want to note that, Yeah, around the 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.160 goal line, we're gonna have that opportunity. I think hit 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:01.599 the nail on the head. I don't think that's going 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:03.880 to be there for him. Maybe between the twenties you 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.000 see a little bit of that stuff with him being 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.560 used in that area. But yeah, not the best landing 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:10.120 spot for him. 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.480 Yeap, Ray Davis picked twenty seven in non superflex rookie drafts. 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.840 All right, let's go to another guy who another running 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.560 back that we were pretty excited about, but we really 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.920 don't like the spot. It's Marshawn Lloyd falls to Green 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.360 Bay round three. He's picked nineteen in non superflex rookie drafts, 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.520 and he's just plastered on the bench behind Josh Jacobs. 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.400 I don't think AJ Dillon's a huge factor here, but man, 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:36.680 the fact that they even resigned AJ Dillon is anyway. 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.320 Jacobs signed through twenty twenty seven, but the nature of 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:44.360 his contract means that he's cuttable after two years. But man, 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.880 I don't want to wait two years to see Marshawn Lloyd. 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:47.680 And Josh Jacobs. 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.680 Is I assume the clear number one based on what 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:52.920 they paid him in the pedigree. What are your thoughts 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:54.560 on Marshawn Lloyd in Green Bay? 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:58.160 This might be the most annoying landing spot of anyone. 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.240 I was very excited about, like you were mentioned, very 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.720 excited about Marshall Lloyd. Almost five nine, two hundred and 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:07.200 twenty pounds, eighty six percentile athlete, and he has four 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.360 or four wheels and he knows how to use him. 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.520 He has the combination of make you miss and power 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.239 that gets him out to the second level into open grass. 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.880 The change of direction as well, and then he can 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.400 get to the top gear real quick. Once once he 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.880 is into it to open grass, he runs mean. We 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.160 asked him about that down in mobile, like why do 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.160 you run so mean, Marshawan, And he goes because I'm 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:30.760 from Delaware, And that's what we had to do. 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.040 We had to show but what it's like to Delaware. 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.880 So we got to kick out of that very thick 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.120 lower body and it's a loaded spring where he just 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:41.079 snaps the arm tackles. He's a fighter. I love his 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:45.640 contact balance. The thing with him though now you had 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.720 here it's a guy in college that was never used 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.160 on passing downs and that was the thing with his evaluation, 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.839 It's like, was that just because the usage first at 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.480 South Carolina and then at the other USC when he 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.000 went and played with Caleb Williams last season? Was it 0:08:58.200 --> 0:08:59.960 just because of that usage? And then he got dig 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:04.880 up throughout college, had an acl tear nagging injuries here 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.840 and there. The upside with him as the pure runner 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.199 on the early downs is just about as high as 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.800 anybody in this class. I don't think that they're going 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.600 to use him whatsoever on the passing downs. But the 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:17.880 situation that he got into on the early downs, what 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.400 are you going to be shoving aside Josh Jacobs or 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.280 aj Dillon. That's his mission if he choose to accept it. 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.839 But this is a tough, tough landing spot for Marshall Lloyd. 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:29.080 It is all right, Let's next. Let's go to running 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:33.040 back Jalen Wright, who drops into Miami. A brutal landing 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.120 spot for him. Fourth round selection going off the board 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:40.400 right now, pick twenty in non superflex rookie drafts. Obviously 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:45.280 massive problems here with Raheem Moster, Devon h Chan, Jeff Wilson. 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:49.160 And he's a Miami kind of run. 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:50.480 He's a Dolphin style runner. 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.400 Super fast, right, Yet he's got some of the solid 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.360 build abilities and he can run inside. I mean, he 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.200 fits what they like to do there. 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:02.400 But this is a up. It's a brutal spot to fall. 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.240 Into, and it's too bad because we were so close 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.760 to getting the ideal one. Dallas had done a lot 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.120 of work on Jalen Right during the pre draft process, 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:10.880 and Jalen Right at five ten and a half, two 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.520 ten with ninety eight percentile athleticism as a guy that 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:15.840 I compared to Tony Pollard in the middle. How about 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.000 that that would have been pert You would have had 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.840 your Tony p Yes, Dallas, strangely in that pick elected 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.120 to go with this long arm, Notre Dame linebacker who 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.559 misses a bunch of tackles. And I wasn't terribly impressed 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.280 with this tape, which then Jalen Wright you fall into 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:32.800 Saturday when when Miami ends up taking Jalen Right, a 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.120 lot of people were surprised. I wasn't I have been 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.520 told in the pre draft process that Miami was all 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:39.600 over it. Yeah, they were the number one team that 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.719 wastes all such a good fit for what they like 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.360 to do. Mike McDaniel fetishizes running backs like this, and 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.640 I think people when they look at the fitt devonan 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:49.559 Chane and then you re signed most of it, they're like, 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.839 why would you invest draft equity into a guy like 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:53.800 Jalen Wright. I'll tell you. I'll tell you why, because 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.480 I asked around. It's because you have Devon Chane. You 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.559 have to limit him to twelve around ten touches that's 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.640 per game. Yeah, you have to because if you do 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:04.400 more than that, now you are to break him down exactly. 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.280 The injuries are going to come. So you have to 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.600 do that. Number One, Jalen Wright is being brought in 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:13.320 I believe, and you know the conversations that I've had 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.160 for the passing downs initially, that is how that they 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.760 can mitigate the times where aucchains on the field. He's 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.600 the early downs. You can have moster coming as well 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.720 a little bit on the early downs, but Jalen Right's 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.960 going to handle some the passing down stuff. Initially. Jalen 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:31.080 Right very good receiver. He's also a super duper underrated 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:35.000 pass blocker coming out there. Jalen Right freak athlete, was 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.800 on the Feldman Freak Class multiple times. Thirty five carries 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.040 of ten plus yards on only one hundred and thirty 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.880 six attempts last season. That means that more than one 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.440 quarter of his attempts went for more than ten yards. 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:46.559 That's nuts. 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.920 He had the fastest track GPS time on a run 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.520 last season amongst running backs twenty two point two miles 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.800 per hour. You're talking speed for days with that kid, 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.319 and he proved it down in Indianapolis at the NFL 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.960 combined with a high four to threes. And he also can. 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.280 He's elusive as well. He breaks tackles. One hundred and 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.800 thirty two point two elusive rating last season was near 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.560 the top of this class. So you have all that stuff. 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.480 What they have to work on him with it's the 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:15.680 vision and working in a conventional, more constricted area as 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.600 a runner on those early downs because Jalen Wright comes 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.719 from this Mickey Mouse spread offense where it played right 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.240 into his strengths. Because Jalen it's like a Tevin Coleman 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.400 as a runner where he wants to see that crease 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:28.480 down the field yea, and he wants to hit dingers, 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:30.880 which was great, a great fit for that Tennessee offense. 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.840 But initially in practices that is what Miami is going 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.360 to be working on him with but he doesn't. They're 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:37.960 not going to need him for that, I think right away, 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.480 because Auchan's gonna be handling that you use him on 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.319 the field as a rookie for the passing downs. And 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.520 then of course he's injury insurance for aud Chane as well. 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.160 That's Jalen Wright ends up in Miami. 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:48.480 I think he hits. 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:50.400 I think this just turns into now like a three 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:54.520 headed monster. But at some point they're gonna be games 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.600 or series of games where moster's hurt, a chans hurt, 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.000 and there's gonna be you know, he'll have some opportunity 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.000 and he used to go together like the twenty carry game, 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:02.880 and he's gonna go nuts. 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:03.720 Yes, exactly. 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.760 The Jets surprise many people by spending fourth and fifth 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.959 round picks at running back. They took Brailen Allen, Isaiah Davis. 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:13.760 They're currently going out the board is picks thirty three 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.000 and forty seven in non superflex rookie drafts. 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:19.360 Okay, the problems here are many. 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:23.679 They're stylistically similar, so they'll bad each other stylistically, and 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:25.800 then of course they're behind Breeze Hall and maybe is 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:27.480 he about a Conda who with many people at this 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.760 time last year we're super excited about So you get 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.559 the feeling here. And by the way, and if you're 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.000 gonna have to wait a while for them to be 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.280 a starter Alan or Davis. 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:38.640 Well, who's the Jets quarterback? 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.520 If you're waiting two years down the road for one 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.840 of those guys to pop, I don't know what that 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.840 offense is going to look like. Posts Aaron Rodgers, and 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:47.640 we you know how big of a setback is that 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.880 going to be? So thoughts on Brailan Allen and Isaiah 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:51.920 Davis for the Jets. 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:54.480 I was so confused by what the Jets did over 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.280 the week, and I was under the assumption that this 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:58.760 was a win now team and really none of the 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:02.880 decisions they were making were way to win now this one. 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:06.560 These two as well, we're confusing to me. I like 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:10.520 Isja Davis, he was my rbaight. I was bullish on him. 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.200 Braylan Allen was my RB nine. So they were there 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.640 right there and like you were setting up there. They 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.280 are similar ish in the utility that you would use 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.760 him for in the NFL. With Isja Davis, I compared 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.840 him to Tyler l Jeer you have the power and 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.520 the contact bounds and he's super patient and then he's 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.320 like he has this upright running style. He's sort of unique. 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.680 It's like a slalomy thing. You know, he's waiting, waiting, 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.600 and then that's how he changes the angle of the 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.000 guy coming in on him to force it from a 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.680 flush tackle attempt to the off angle thing. And he 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.680 was playing in the FCS. He was the belkow for 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:47.000 the colossus South Dakota State team that just just rolled 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.000 over everybody, and when defenders would have an off angle 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.400 on him sometimes it was like in the cartoon where 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:53.960 they run into the side of the mountain and they 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.080 just peel off down on it. Like Ija Davis's contact 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:00.680 bounds with the power he runs with is so nice. 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.480 The receiving utility, I'm not really sure with him. I 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.320 know that Brailan Allen doesn't have any of that. Brailan 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:10.800 Allen is your classic Wisconsin hammerback who was miscast in 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.520 the system that they change into last year under Phil 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:17.240 Longoor is this spread thing and throwing a little bit more. 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:20.920 I compared Brailan Alan six one two hundred and thirty 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.960 six pounds to Rashad Jennings. They're very similar, and like 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.120 you said, it's a terrible landing spot for both of them, 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:27.840 and then you wonder can both of them make the 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.160 roster with what that room looks like right now? 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.200 All right, I've got a few more guys that dropped 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.200 into bad landing spots. 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.280 Will highlight them when we come back in just a moment. 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.920 Welcome back, segment number two Fantasy Football Weekly, talking about 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.760 some landing spots that have troubled us for a variety 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.720 of different players. It's been all running back so far, 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:48.000 and I got an all of it for you. 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.200 Will Shipley ends up in Philadelphia. 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:54.120 He was a fourth round selection by the Eagles. He's 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:57.400 going after the word right now, pick thirty seven in 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.640 non superflex rookie drafts. So a lot of people have 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:03.880 the same concerns I have because they signed Saquon Barkley, 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:05.840 and then of course you got Kenneth Gamil in there. 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:09.440 Philly always uses that rotation runners, and to top everything off, 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.240 anytime the balls inside the five yard line, the easy 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:16.160 touchdowns are getting swept up by Jalen Hurts. So a 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.000 lot of things working against Will Shipley here. 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:22.160 Yeah, So the situation he heads into, that's problem one. 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:26.920 Here's problem two for me. The issue is Shipley's evaluation 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.560 is he's never going to be his NFL team's best 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.760 early down runner. He wasn't that at Clemson. That was 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:36.480 film offa. So for Will Shipley to have NFL utility, 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:38.560 it has to be on the passing downs, and then 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.040 he has to offer it on special teams as well. 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:44.920 He can return, He categorically cannot pass block, which means 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.200 that the utility on those passing downs it has to 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.600 come as a receiver. Well, here's the issue there. In college, 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:54.880 he never brought one yard flat per route run and 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.880 he dropped five balls the last two seasons on the 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:01.680 dump offs around lineup scrimmage for it. Yeah, people went 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:03.880 nuts about him because he was the five star recruit 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:05.840 and he's five ten two oh six and he tested 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.520 as a ninety seven percentile athlete. I did not see 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:11.240 it with Will Shipley. I I don't know how long 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:12.639 he hangs on that roster of Philly. 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.240 All right, that's that's that's some damning stuff right there. 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:20.639 Next we switch over to the wide receiver position. Donnie 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:24.080 Mitchell ends up in Indianapolis second round pick, currently going 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.800 off the board pick fourteen and non superflex rookie drafts. 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:28.800 But the problem is the competition, right. 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:32.240 So you know, Michael Pitman's great Josh Downs looks promising. 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.720 Alec Pierce hasn't panned out as hoped, unfortunately, but he's 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.160 still in the mix a little bit here. There are 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:42.160 some things to like about Mitchell. Not a big bodied guy, 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:46.040 but you like the acceleration, his fluidness, he plays with. 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:49.440 He plays with some swagger and some nasty to him 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.560 that I like. Uh, but this is a it's a 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.800 tricky landing spot with a young quarterback who's effectively on 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.440 a reboot of his rookie season. What are your thoughts 0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:00.000 on a Donnie Mitchell in this landing spot with Indianapolis? 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.320 So I spent all the spring arguing with people about 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:05.080 a Donna Mitchell because they were you know, he's a first, 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:08.000 He's got the ceiling of a superstar in there. You 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:09.840 just have to assume a little bit of risk if 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.680 you take him. My take on him was the exact 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:16.360 opposite that inverted. I think he is a lower ceiling 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:18.800 guy who has a high floor. I thought he was 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:21.960 sitting dead red on the evaluation as your prototypical pop 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.479 the top NFL wide receiver two, where the opposing defense 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:27.440 has to keep a safety high on that side of 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:29.960 the field, which has the effect of helping the spacing 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.280 of the other players on the field. The guys who 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:36.240 could tell you about this are Xavier Worthy and Jatavian Sanders, 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:38.680
