WEBVTT - Fantasy QB Fugazi!

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I tell you about fantasy fool gazes at the quarterback position,

0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>guys you need to forget about. First up, though, I

0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:11.040
<v Speaker 1>want to once again give you my overall philosophy on quarterbacks.

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:15.920
<v Speaker 1>You need to wait on quarterbacks. Do not invest your second, third,

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>fourth round draft pick on Drew Brees, on Aaron Rodgers,

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:22.279
<v Speaker 1>on Tom Brady, on Russell Wilson, on any of these

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>top five guys, because the difference from that tier to

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:29.760
<v Speaker 1>the tier that you can get. Literally, if you wait

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:33.519
<v Speaker 1>and are the last person in your league to draft

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 1>your fantasy quarterback, the difference is not that much early

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:40.159
<v Speaker 1>on in your drafts, Go running back, go wide receiver.

0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:45.600
<v Speaker 1>You can wait on quarterback. You heard, all right? That

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 1>being said, I think that there are some quarterbacks. Remember

0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I gave you Ben, I gave you Stafford yesterday. These

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>are guys who I would even pick. I had some

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>of these fantasy fool gazes for two thousand seventeen at

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback position. The first guy I want to talk

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>about is the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, Dak Prescott.

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Dak Prescott right now is the consensus QB twelve. He

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>is going ninety three overall. There is no reason to

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 1>invest in Dak Prescott. I'm sorry to my man, Corey Parson,

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>the fantasy executive who you will hear with me on

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Sundays on the On the Lineup Block show. He's a

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 1>big Cowboys guy. He's a big Dak guy. I'm telling

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.279
<v Speaker 1>you you need to fade Dak Prescott. Let the Corey

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Parsons and people like them draft him. Here's why. Last year,

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Dak Prescott had four interceptions all season long. The NFL

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 1>m v P was Matt Ryan he had seven. Aaron Rodgers,

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 1>known around the world, is probably one of the best

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks in the league, had seven. This was such an

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>outlier for Dak Prescott. There is no way he does

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 1>not have some regression and turn the ball over more.

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>He can literally throw twice as many, three times as

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>many picks this year and still be kind of in

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the league. That is regression that is

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 1>going to happen. Here's the other thing we all know

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.360
<v Speaker 1>about the Zeke Elliott suspension. He might miss six games,

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 1>he might get it down to four, down to two.

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 1>He may go to court and miss no games. I

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know. But if Zeke is missing any time, if

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:22.079
<v Speaker 1>you were a defense. Playing the Dallas Cowboys, you're going

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.600
<v Speaker 1>to focus more on the passing game, on the returning

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Dead's Bryant, and on Dak Prescott and his ability to

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 1>beat you. I think that there is no way that

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Dak Prescott replicates the protection of the ball and the

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>output that he had last year. Also, a little known secret,

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:41.520
<v Speaker 1>everyone talks about how amazing this offensive line is. I

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 1>expect slight regression from their offensive line as well, with

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.360
<v Speaker 1>guys like Jonathan Cooper at guard instead of what they

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.640
<v Speaker 1>used to have Doug Free. Okay, I think all of

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.640
<v Speaker 1>these combine to the fact that there is no reason

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 1>you need to spend for Dak Prescott. Like I said,

0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I'd rather Matthew Stafford. I'd rather Ben Roethlisberger in this spot.

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I think the Cowboys are going to try to be

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>a ball control offense that are running the ball, whether

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>it's with Zeke, whether it's with McFadden, whether it's with

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Alfred Morris. All of these are reasons that you should

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 1>not be evaluating Dak Prescott as QB twelve in your draft.

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I say, fade Dak Prescott. He's a fuazy forgot about him.

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Keeping moving The next quarterback I'm gonna mention is all

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the way up right now at QB four. Okay, the

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>fourth highest ranked quarterback right now is the NFC champion

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta Falcons and two thousands set sixteen m VP Mattie Ice.

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Matt Ryan. He's going number forty overall, which is basically

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.360
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth round of drafts. I'm telling you right now,

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>there is no way that he replicates his MVP season

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 1>of last year. Here's why offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan is

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>now coaching the San Francisco forty Niners. Okay. In years past,

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Matt Ryan was a guy who would start fast like

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>the Atlanta Falcons, and then he would nose dive at

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>the middle towards the end of the season. What was

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 1>different last year was that Kyle Shannon he created mismatches

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>usually through scheme. Okay, they had a lot of motion plays.

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>They had a lot of complicated schemes. If you remember

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 1>their game against the Seattle Seahawks last year up in Seattle,

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 1>they had a couple of busted coverages from the Legion

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.719
<v Speaker 1>of Boom that liked to play straight up play that

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 1>cover three. They were scheming things differently, okay, and that

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>is not there with Kyle Shanahan. I think now with

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Sarkesian as the offensive coordinator, I could see regression from

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>that entire offense. Here's the other things to consider. After

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Julio Jones, who is really catching passes for the Atlanta Falcons.

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Is it Austin Hooper who's expected to break out a

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 1>little bit at tight end in the second season. Are

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>you really trusting Mohammed Sanu? Are you really trusting Taylor Gabriel?

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 1>And here's the thing. As you know, Julio Jones is

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 1>an injury risk. He's now another year removed from that

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>foot stuff. But what happens if you invested and matt

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Ryan as your QB one, and you paid a fourth

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 1>or fifth round draft pick for him, and then Julio

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Jones goes down. I think this offense will still be prolific.

0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.719
<v Speaker 1>But like I said, I'm not paying for any quarterback,

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 1>especially one I expect to regress. And that's Mattie Ice.

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 1>He's going at QB four. There's no reason you need

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 1>to pay for him. The other guy I want to

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>give you is uh Eli Manning. Okay, Eli Manning. Granted,

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I know he's going as quarterback sixteen, but he's got

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 1>named value. Okay, and a lot of people think, oh

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:44.119
<v Speaker 1>the Ben McAdoo offense, Oh Eli Manning, volume thrower. While

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.599
<v Speaker 1>those things are true, I'm here in New York. I

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>can tell you he looked ugly at times last year. Okay,

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Eli Manning had sixteen picks last year. You know who

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.599
<v Speaker 1>else had sixteen picks, Blake Bortles. You know who else

0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 1>had sixteen picks, brock Off Swidler and saw of those

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>interceptions were absolutely ugly. Look like he didn't know what

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.479
<v Speaker 1>was going on. Yes, they got Eli Manning, new toys

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>on the outside, guys like Brandon Marshall, guys like the

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 1>first round draft pick Evan Ingram. But here's what I'm

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.159
<v Speaker 1>here to tell you. Look at that offensive line. It

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 1>is still one of the bottom ten in the National

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Football League. They still have Eric Flowers protecting his blindside

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 1>at left tackle. That is a problem. I would have

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 1>liked to see them invest instead of on guys like

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Marshall, instead of on guys like Evan Ingram. I

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 1>would have liked to see them bolster the support for

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Eli Manning at the offensive line. You have Shephard, you

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.919
<v Speaker 1>have Odell Beckham, that's okay for the weapons outside. And

0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:44.080
<v Speaker 1>here's the other thing. Eli is going into his age

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:49.360
<v Speaker 1>thirty six season. That's about when quarterbacks fall off the cliff.

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.000
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about the fears around Carson Palmer. Look what

0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 1>happened to Eli's brother At this age, we're hearing retirement

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.840
<v Speaker 1>talk from Ben Roethlisberger. We're here in you know, does

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Philip Rivers have time? Yes? Eli is in that group.

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 1>There's no reason to think that all of a sudden

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.160
<v Speaker 1>he turns it around and gets better at this point

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.279
<v Speaker 1>in time, at his age thirty six season. I want

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 1>to give you a bonus guy that I want to

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>throw out there, and this is the guy that's a

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 1>little bit further down in rankings right now. Q at

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 1>QB nineteen, I'm talking about Andy Dalton. Don't get it twisted.

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 1>When it comes to Andy Dalton, I bring him up

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 1>because this is another situation where they got the quarterback.

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.239
<v Speaker 1>Nice little toys, right, They got the speedster John Ross

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.239
<v Speaker 1>on the outside. They drafted Joe Mixon as well. Here's

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the thing. They let Whitworth go, they let Zeigler go.

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Those were two all Pro caliber offensive lineman. Yeah, it's

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 1>nice that you got John Ross to blow the top

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 1>off the defense. But you know what you need in

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 1>order to get the ball to John Ross down the field.

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.960
<v Speaker 1>You need time in the pockets. And that is not

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 1>what Andy Dalton is going to have this year. And

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 1>if you go back and look historically at Andy Dalton

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>when he has pressure in his face, it is not pretty.

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 1>So I'm fading Eli Manning, I'm fading Andy Dalton, I'm

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 1>fading Matt Ryan, and I'm fading Dak Prescott. I'm of

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:08.120
<v Speaker 1>course also fading Andrew Luck. The news seems to get

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 1>worse and worse as we go about when or if

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>he will be under center for the Indianapolis Colts. But

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 1>we have a pole question up right now. I threw

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 1>out these options, who do you think is going to

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 1>be the kind of worse by relative to their ADP

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.640
<v Speaker 1>and their value? And right now forty three of you

0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 1>agree that Matt Ryan will not replicate his m v

0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.319
<v Speaker 1>P season. Whether it's the loss of Shanahan, whether it's

0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.319
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl hangover, or whether it's the injury risk

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.959
<v Speaker 1>associated with his primary target Julio Jones, or whether it's

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.560
<v Speaker 1>that you follow my philosophy and are not paying up

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>for quarterback at all. That is fine, but these guys

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 1>for me on the fantasy freestyle there, my quarterback fantasy

0:08:50.960 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 1>fo gazes, forget about him. On what what isghaz? Forghasy

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 1>means a phony
