5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: here's your host, Paul charge Welcome to another edition of

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Chargi and co host,

7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: as it has been for the better part of a

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: month and a half, Brian Johnson. The streak is alive, yes,

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: and I have reasonab believe we'll be back next week too.

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: I think I will be. I'm already looking forward to that.

11
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: Let's call it a full on guarantee. I like the

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,319
Speaker 1: sound of that. Nothing is going to happen between now

13
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: and next week that will stop you from executing next

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: week's Fantasy Football Weekly. This week, we're going back to

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: a subject we had at this time last year. Are

16
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: aloe vera players? What are alo vera players? Brian, Guys,

17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: we thought we're going to be a soothing addition to

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: our fantasy teams last year, but they burned us. They

19
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: burned us, but but no, but we're gonna go back

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: to them now and they're going to soothe our burns,

21
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: that's right, qualities they burned us last year. But we're

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: going to go right back to the well and they

23
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: are going to be soothing if this coming season. And

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: what's better at least for my guys is they're much cheaper. Yeah,

25
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: they're all cheaper. These are all guys, that's right. These

26
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: are all guys that are gonna cost you less this

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: year than than most years. Um, I've got five guys.

28
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: You've got four guys that were going back to the

29
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: well on. These are all underperformers, in some cases dramatic underperformers, um,

30
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: And but guys that were optimistic on and guys that

31
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: were buying on including offseason leagues, including dynasty leagues. Yeah,

32
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: these are these are all guys that I think have

33
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: the chance to make good for the uh, make good

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: on on the wrongs of last season. Let's begin with

35
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. Everybody's totally off of him, and obviously things

36
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: couldn't have gone more wrong for him last year. He

37
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: fractured his fibula and suffered a significant what they called

38
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: ligament disruption to his ankle. But that was back in

39
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: Week two, so we never got to see anything really

40
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: with Trey Lance. He had the one game in a

41
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: monsoon in Chicago, and then that happened. I didn't hear

42
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: the ligament disruption. Yeah doesn't sound good, does it. No,

43
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't. But the good news is it repeated reports

44
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: that he's already working out and he's going to be

45
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: one hundred percent for OTAs and he and Sam Darnold

46
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: will be effectively the healthy quarterbacks to start at least

47
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: the off season program for San Francisco. Now, the reason

48
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: I'm remain interested in Trey Lance, Brian the running. The

49
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: running rushing quarterbacks are a fantasy football cheat code. Josh Allen,

50
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, Justin Fields were all top five fantasy producers

51
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position last year. And we all know

52
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: San Franciscos loaded with weapons. It doesn't take elite quarterbacking

53
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: skills to gravy train off of the abilities of George

54
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: Kittle and Brandon Aouka, Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel and

55
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: for the same reasons that they made Trey Lance the

56
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: second pick of the draft two years ago. You know,

57
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: the crazy athleticism, the arms, strength, and mobility. I mean,

58
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: if it all comes together for Trey Lance, he's got

59
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: if it all comes together, he's got top five fantasy

60
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: upside because of the running he'd bring to the table,

61
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: all about the rushing. Lamar Jackson would have been on

62
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: that list if healthy Daniel Jones was sniffing the top five. Yeah,

63
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: gotta love the running quarterbacks right now. You know, there's

64
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: unfortunately this competition. Right so, Brock Purty looked legitimately qualified

65
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: to be an NFL quarterback in the games he played,

66
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: and you know, who knows even in that, you know,

67
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: the postseason game that he got knocked out of, who

68
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: knows what could have happened in that game had he

69
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: stayed healthy. Sam Darnold they brought in and this is

70
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: my biggest worry on Trey Lance. They knew Trey Lance

71
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: was going to be healthy for the starter of OTA's

72
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: mini camps and certainly into the season, and they still

73
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: brought in Sam Darnold. Yeah, they're kind of they've kind

74
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: of been saying that Purdy should be ready by week one.

75
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: I'm not buying into that whatsoever yet. Tommy John surgery.

76
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: Now it's not a starting pitcher, but still, right, I

77
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: don't know. I think Darnold, I think he'll push Lands

78
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: in camp. But the upside on Lands is so insane

79
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: that uh, yes, I like the pick. I will say

80
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: this though, I did throw a ticket in for Sam

81
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: Darnold come back Player of the Year. It's like, I

82
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: don't blame him, well, you know Smith last year, right,

83
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: and it's a great spot for whoever starts it is

84
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: because again, all you have to do is just get

85
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: the ball into the hands of your playmakers. I just

86
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: don't like that they signed Arnold at all. Yeah, um,

87
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: because if they, if the Niners really believed in Trey Lance,

88
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: I think they would have just rolled in with Trey

89
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: Lance and Brock Purdy. But then again maybe they just

90
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,239
Speaker 1: I feel like you can never have too much quarterback depth.

91
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold by third string or second string standards is fine,

92
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: pretty good. But right now Trey Lance's value can only

93
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: go up, really can't go down, right. I mean, he's

94
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: like quarterback fifteen sixteen kind in that range, and last

95
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: year he was inside the top ten based on the

96
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: Russian potential of course, So you're buying for pennies on

97
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: the dollar, Brian, And that's you know, that's a lot

98
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: of my interest in Trey Lance. It costs you effectively nothing,

99
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: and he's an alo vera player. I just I liked

100
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: him going into last season. I had him on a

101
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: bunch of teams going to last season. I got burned,

102
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping I'm ready to get hurt again. Speaking

103
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: of that way, pennies on the dollar. Yes, I have

104
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: a quarterback getting drafted after Trey Lance. Oh boy, a

105
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: former Super Bowl champion MVP. I think you might know

106
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: where I'm going with this, Russell Wilson. Yes, wow, I

107
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: love the contrarian nature of this. Allow me more. Last

108
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: year of drafted as quarterback ten roughly inside the top

109
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: seventy five players overall, expectations were sky high. Yeah, but

110
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: he was a figurative punching bag all season long. We

111
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: had our fun with his touchdowns versus toilets ratio. I

112
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: think he eventually did. I think he eventually topped the toilets.

113
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: It took till mid December. Yeah, he eventually dethroned the thrones,

114
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: but finished as quarterback twenty four in points per game.

115
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: Though He's like two good games came at that one

116
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: very end of the scene. Yes, and one was in

117
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: week sixteen when you were dead in the water. If

118
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: you were relying on Russell Wilson, but right now his

119
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: ADP is one hundred and twenty fifth overall. That's quarterback eighteen. Yeah,

120
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: so it's a fire sale on Wilson and at this price,

121
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: I'll take my chances on a bounce back. Thankfully, it's

122
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: not his second year Nathaniel Hackett system. He was not

123
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: cut out for head coaching duties. Sean Payton a huge

124
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: upgraded head coach, of course, especially especially for an offense

125
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball. Courtland Sutton seems

126
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: like he's gonna stay in town, as is Jerry Judy.

127
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: That's a couple of nice receivers. Greg Dulcitch showed some flashes. Unfortunately,

128
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams might not be ready if at all, but

129
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: they'll they'll fill in for him at running back. They

130
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: already have some JP Ryan tim Patrick supposed to come back.

131
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: So it's really just about the price DA right now

132
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: at QB eighteen. If I'm not going after the big

133
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: name guys, the Josh Allen's, the Jalen Hurts of the world,

134
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna stack like three quarterbacks towards the end

135
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: of the draft. Wilson is one of the guys that

136
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: I'll have him that rotation for. I think you've missed

137
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: on one of the most compelling arguments for Russell Wilson

138
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: and an improved season. He got rid of some toilets,

139
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: take some toilets out. No, not that. What I think

140
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: the most compelling part is offensive line was a disaster

141
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: last year. Injuries everywhere, including Garrett Bulls or left tackle

142
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: him is most of the season, maybe all the season.

143
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: And they brought in Mike mcclinchey. I mean, this is

144
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: going to be a much better offensive line and that

145
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: was such a big part of the problem last year.

146
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: And gotta believe that that's that's gonna make put Russ

147
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: in a much better position to cook. And hopefully he

148
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: just chills on the commercials and all that other off

149
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: the field crap. Just focus on football. Yeah, No, I

150
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: don't come on like a little bit like Baker may Yeah.

151
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: Pretty much. The only Patrick Mahomes is outpacing his commercial.

152
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,559
Speaker 1: Yeah right, you want to say it? The next ela

153
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: vera player for me. JK. Dobbins last year a disappointment, obviously.

154
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: He finished his RB forty eight while hobbling around the field.

155
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: Still messed up from last year's ACL. Unfortunately for Dobbins,

156
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: he appeared in eight games and it was on again,

157
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: off again. Remember, you know, he was very adamant that

158
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: he wanted to start the season, but he was clearly

159
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: wasn't ready and then missed a bunch of games and

160
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: he came back and you know, but a lot of

161
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: what hurt JK Dobbins last year and the reason he

162
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: finished RB forty eight he scored two touchdowns. That's it,

163
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: and you know a lot of a lot of what

164
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: we thought going into the season, why I was optimistic

165
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: on JK Dobbins was that he was going to get

166
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: so much of the goal line work because he had

167
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: always gotten the goal line work and they didn't run

168
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson very often at the goal line. So I

169
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: was really optimistic that the touchdowns would be the one

170
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: thing you could really count on from JK Dobbins year

171
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: off the ACL, and that never materialized and didn't even

172
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: have that many chances at it. And here's what I

173
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: found really interesting digging up date on Dobbins' season, Brian,

174
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: he finished at an impressive five point seven yards per carry.

175
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: He finished fifth in yards over expectation last year and JK.

176
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: Dobbins finished seventh and breakaway percentage. He had a better

177
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: year than any of the numbers would suggest in a

178
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: totally broken Ravens offense. And remember they couldn't pass at

179
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: all and defenses would come in stack the box, and

180
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: you know, Baltimore's passing offense just offered no resistance. So

181
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: presumably Ravens offense is more balanced this year. And I'm

182
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: back on JK. Dobbins. I like it. He'll be two

183
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: years removed from the major knee injury he saw that

184
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: was sa kuon Barkley. He struggled his first year back

185
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: and Dobbins wasn't quite the prospect Barkley was, but he

186
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: was pretty cool second round draft equity. Yeah, definitely, Yeah,

187
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm optimistic on JK. Dobbins. Okay, let's go. Let's go

188
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: back to you. Who is your next ala Vera player?

189
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: We talked about him last week, but I gotta mention

190
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks again, who has recorded one thousand yard receiving

191
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: seasons with four different teams and six one thousand yard

192
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: receiving seasons since twenty fifteen. That's basically the most among

193
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: any wide receivers during that span. More than Stefan Digs,

194
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, Davante Adams, Keenan Allen. Last year he was

195
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: drafted his wide receiver twenty three. That was also roughly

196
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: inside the top seventy five players overall. People were expecting

197
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: that safe, typical wide receiver two production, thousand yards, six

198
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: or seven touchdowns, but we did not get that. It

199
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: was an absolute disaster in twenty twenty two. For Cooks

200
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: only played thirteen games, but when he was on the

201
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: yield and healthy, he was ineffective. He finished as wide

202
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: receiver forty two and points per game. But it wasn't

203
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: all on him. He was on the Texans, Yeah, that

204
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: was It was clearly a struggling offense. And Davis Mills,

205
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: as much as I was optimistic he could be a

206
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: you know, I never thought he'd be a great quarterback,

207
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: but I thought he could be like a serviceable NFL quarterback,

208
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: Davis Mills is really a backup quarterback, as did I.

209
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: I thought Mills might turn out to be something special,

210
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: but it's not looking that way. But he should have

211
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: a new quarterback to start the season. I can think

212
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: we can say he will have a new will. No,

213
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: he's not gonna Texas anymore, he will have a new quarterback,

214
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott on the Cowboys. Now he gets his fifth chance,

215
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: yes with the Cowboys. And even though since that trade

216
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: his ADP has surged a little bit, he's still currently

217
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: wide receiver forty four and that I think when the

218
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: dust settles, he'll be somewhere in the mid thirties, outside

219
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: the top of thirty, but that'll still be a discount

220
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: to me. I think there is potential for a hit

221
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: for him to have his best season yet. Of course,

222
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: cb AM is the top target that recently draw a

223
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: ton of attention, and I think we will get that

224
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: safe wide receiver two production from Brandon Cooks this year.

225
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: So he is my second Alovia player. I'm going with

226
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman as my next alo Vera player two years ago.

227
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: So let's back up two seasons. Twenty twenty one. It

228
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: was his second year and it looked like he was

229
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: ready to launch into stardom. All the metrics were heading

230
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: the heading upwards. And really thought that in twenty twenty

231
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: two he was going to take another big step forward

232
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: and instead Michael Pittman size sizeable decrease in yards and

233
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns and the numbers just didn't come together. Now A

234
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: lot of it was because he was catching passes from

235
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan currently out of the league. Sam Ellinger, who

236
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: could be out of the league. He's on roster, but

237
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: he could be out of the league before the thing

238
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: is set and done. And Nick Foles, who's the ultimate

239
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: quarterback journeyman. By the way, you know many teams Nick

240
00:12:54,679 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: Foles has been at least five eight eight eight. That's

241
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: why I can come the ultimate quarterback journeyman. I woever

242
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: I hear Nick Foles. I don't think of the Super Bowl.

243
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: I remember his seven touchdown game against the Raiders when

244
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: he when he was on the Eagles. That was amazing.

245
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: Whenever that was yep, yep. I don't think it was

246
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: the same year of the supernow, wasn't It was prior

247
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: to that. But anyway, what really killed Michael Pittman was

248
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: the feeble arms of these quarterbacks. His a DOT last

249
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: year plummeted from ten yards per pass two years ago

250
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: all the way down to six and a half yards

251
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 1: per pass at It's a hits a major difference. When

252
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: you're losing four yards on every catch, that hurts your

253
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: overall fantasy performance. That adds a pretty quick it does.

254
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: He is still Pittman, a big, physical receiver, ideally built

255
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: four goal line box outs. We know he can catch

256
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: down field. And indeed, okay, so Indy's got picked four,

257
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna go quarterback here almost certainly at pick four,

258
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: or they get Lamar Jackson there kind of that's all,

259
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: you know. Maybe it'd be great for them if they

260
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: could do it and retain pick four. I don't know

261
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: how that would be possible, but maybe Young and Stroud

262
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: are probably gone, right, so those two quarterbacks are gonna

263
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: be gone. It likely leaves the Colts with a developmental

264
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: quarterback like Anthony Richardson or will love Us. That's not

265
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: great for the short term of for Michael Pittman, but

266
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: that's some speculation on my part. Still think Pittman is

267
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: a very good wide receiver talent, and if the quarterbacking

268
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: is non awful what we talked about him to get

269
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: back and talked about him last week, it's most likely

270
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: regardless of who they end up drafting a quarterback is

271
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, who Yeah, it's a great point. Gardner Minshew's

272
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: your probable, Yeah, probit upgrade over the corpse of Matt

273
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: Ryan and Sam Ellinger for sure. Yeah, I think so too.

274
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: I think so too. Who's your next? And to say

275
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: your final, No, you've still got two left. Who's your next?

276
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: Ela Vera player, One of my all time favorites, Darren

277
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: Waller drafted as tight end five last year, and as

278
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: we all know, he did not meet those expectations, mainly

279
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: do injury. Though played only eight games, he was seventh

280
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: among tight ends and points per game. So if he,

281
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, finished the season nowty, he would have been

282
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: sniffing that tight end five finish. But now, as most know,

283
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: if you don't know, he's been traded to the Giants,

284
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: where if he's healthy, he's the queer cut, the best

285
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: receiver on the team receiving option. Yes he will. He's

286
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: their wide receiver one. And right now, with the price

287
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: tag of tight end eight, I will roll the dice

288
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: one last time on Darren Waller in the tight end

289
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: waste land, short and sweet there. Yeah, I'm buying Waller

290
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: at that price. Yeah, at tight end eight. Yeah, I'm too.

291
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,239
Speaker 1: I like because he gives you tight end three upside. Yeah,

292
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: because he's done it before. We know that Waller can

293
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: be that um and you know he's he's aging, but

294
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: he's he's got some he's aging, but he's he's low

295
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: mileage because he wasn't a major part of that Raiders

296
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: offense or before that, the Ravens offense um until the

297
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: last really three years. So there's a lot of tread

298
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: on that tire for a thirty year old. I think

299
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: he's thirty thirty one, Okay, yeah, right in that range. Well,

300
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: we're just worried about this year and he'll be if

301
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: he's healthy. Love it, love it the potential. When we

302
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: come back, we're going to pivot to another tight end,

303
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: find out who our next alo vera player is. In moments,

304
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Charching Brian Johnson with you.

305
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening. You may have caught that we

306
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: are doing Fantasy Football Weekly micro editions, five to ten

307
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: minute breakdowns of players. We did them last week, We're

308
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: going to do them next week as well, so you

309
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: can look forward to hearing some of those, and your

310
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: feedback is appreciated on those at Paul charchying on Twitter.

311
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: It's the best way to let me know what you

312
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: think is We're it's an experiment. Do you like it.

313
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: Are you listening? Do you enjoy it? What can we

314
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: do better? We're here for you. I plan to listen.

315
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: I haven't listened yet, but I will. I saw that

316
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts is the first player. Yes, episode without you?

317
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: I know, without you, Tyler? Uh did Hilo did a

318
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: good job? You'd have been proud, you'd you'd have liked

319
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: what You'd like that? As you can imagine, I took

320
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: the contrarian side of that debate. Oh so right, let's

321
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: not even get like I haven't listening because I don't

322
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: want to get triggered. Yeah, that's probably smart. But there

323
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: were four other ones or three other ones. You can listen.

324
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: I'll listen to them all and everyone else should as well.

325
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews had a massive drop in productivity from the

326
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: prior year. His stats last year down roughly forty percent

327
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: in yards, touchdowns, and fantasy points. It was a huge

328
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: miss for Mark Andrews, even in the tight end waste Land.

329
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: It turn out he wasn't even an every week starter,

330
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: which at the end of the day was crushing. What

331
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: made it more painful is he got off to a

332
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: great start. He did. Probably his final numbers came first

333
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 1: month of this team, that would be the first six weeks.

334
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: He topped sixty three yards one time. After week six.

335
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: He did not score after week six, so it all

336
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: came to a crashing halt. And I was trying to

337
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,479
Speaker 1: remember exactly when Lamar Jackson laughed, and I'm like, if

338
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: it must be closer week six, and I thought it

339
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: turned out it wasn't. Mark Jackson played twelve through week twelve,

340
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: so it wasn't all just because Tyler Huntley can't pass,

341
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: although he's not a very good passer. But you know

342
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,239
Speaker 1: what did happen right around week six? Andrews he got

343
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: dinged up a bit and he did miss a couple

344
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: of games in there. But Rashad Bateman's last full game

345
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: was week seven, and when Bateman competent wide receiver, the

346
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: only competent and the only field stretching wide receiver to

347
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: open up the middle of the field for Mark Andrews.

348
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: And without that, they didn't have anybody who could press

349
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,959
Speaker 1: defenses down the field, make safeties play it away from

350
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Everybody's defenses were able to double

351
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews and go make Devin DuVernay beat you. They

352
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: would have been better off just signing a couple of

353
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: tracks stars it could at least run fast. Well they

354
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: did that with Shawn Jackson. That's why they brought it

355
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: to Sean Jackson at the end of at the end

356
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: of the season. But he's not it's not at that

357
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: stage of his career. Um, now, let's being Lamar Jackson.

358
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: We don't know who the quarterback is going to be

359
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: for the Ravens, but odds are the way things are

360
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: looking right now. It's give me Lamar Jackson. It's not.

361
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: It doesn't appear to be going anywhere right now. And

362
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: if not pro bowler Tyler Huntley, pro bowler Tyler Huntley,

363
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: that's a possibility now. One big advantage working in the

364
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: favor of Mark Andrews is the change of offensive coordinator.

365
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 1: They're they're going from the run heavy stylings of Greg

366
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: Roman to Todd Monkin. Now he was George's most recently

367
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: George's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Stetson Bennett, and

368
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: presumably he's going to bring more balance to the offense.

369
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: But his last time in the NFL's an offensive coordinator.

370
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: He spent two years with the Buccaneers. Jameis Winston and

371
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: might be loved Stu Beard Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Buccaneers in

372
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: those two years ranked fourth and first in passing yards

373
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews. I mean, a more balanced offense can only

374
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: help Mark Andrews here with more passing, more opportunities, and

375
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: he's my next alo vera player. Let's go to your

376
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: last guy, and that is you're with me, You're not.

377
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: I'm not with you on this. I maybe I can

378
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: convince you. Robinson, who currently is still a member of

379
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Ramses, is on the trade block and

380
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: there as they should be offering to take on some

381
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: of his contract to any takers. I think the Viking tires,

382
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. But anyway, A rob was

383
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,959
Speaker 1: drafted his wide receiver twenty one. Last year, he finished

384
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: as wide receiver. I d I don't even know that

385
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: he but right now he's going as wide receiver ninety one.

386
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: Is really sounds right. That's free and I love I

387
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: love free stuff. I'm not writing him off yet. It

388
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: was he went to the Rams. It was supposed to

389
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: be the best quarterback he's ever played with. Yeah, but

390
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: the Rams were the most hungover Super Bowl defending champions

391
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: in the history of the Super Bowl. Matt Stafford not.

392
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: He didn't even play half the year. When he played,

393
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: he was hurt. Cooper Cup got hurt. Alan Robinson could

394
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: not carry that offensive alone, and he only finished with

395
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: three touchdowns thirty nine yards. But do you remember how

396
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: many games he played? How many games he played most

397
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: of them episode I remember, all right. I was gonna

398
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: guess he was sort of warming up towards the end

399
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: of his season, but he got injured in his tenth game.

400
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: I believe it was in Mega eleven. So you know,

401
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: if he stays on the rams, he's still starting opposite

402
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup, who's all over the place, will be the

403
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: outside boundary receiver. He was top five in end zone

404
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: targets for a while when healthy, and he could get

405
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: traded to a better scenario. But again, the very last pick,

406
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: and I'm taking him in twenty round drafts with the

407
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: last pick. Yeah, I'll take that shot in the dark.

408
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: And uh, you can't drop him in best ball, But

409
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: with the in the twentieth round, I'll I can live

410
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: with that land mine. And if you if you're able

411
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: to drop him in standard leagues, then you didn't hurt

412
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: you at all. To take a flyer on Alan Robinson.

413
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: So I'm going with a little more high profile guy

414
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: for my final alo Vera player, Deebo Samuel, who dropped

415
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: down to wide receiver thirty two last year behind the

416
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: likes of Zay Jones and George Pickens. Really, so what

417
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: happened last year? We had nagging injuries, Christian McCaffrey showed

418
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: up and started taking some of his work. And the

419
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: real killer here he didn't score touchdowns. He had two

420
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns and just three rushing touchdowns for Deebo Samuel

421
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: last year, and the revolving door quarterback the quarterbacks take

422
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: Garoppolo to Purdy. Yeah, he needs some consistency there. Maybe,

423
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 1: I mean I thought those guys but he basically played

424
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: fine though Garoppolo and Purdy played okay, So to me,

425
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm not using them as excuse for the lack of production.

426
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: But Deebo Samuel remains arguably the single most electric player

427
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: at any position with the ball in his hands. A reminder,

428
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: he finished number one in yards after catch. You know

429
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: many yards he had after his yak number nine yards

430
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: after the catch for Deebo Samuel total not no not

431
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: per catch nine might have been. Believe you finished number

432
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: one by more than a yard over the next closest

433
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: player in YAK. He was number one in yards over

434
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: expectation at four sorry six point four yards per reception

435
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: in yards over expectation, number one, by the way in

436
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: both categories last year two twenty twenty one. I mean,

437
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't have to sell listeners. The Deebo Samuel is

438
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: a special player. And as for the touchdowns, it's hard

439
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: for wide receivers to score when they don't catch downfield,

440
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: and that's part of what hurt Debo. Debo was the

441
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: second most targeted wide receiver on passes behind the line

442
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. He had thirty one targeted passes behind the

443
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. It's hard to score in those situations,

444
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: and that does bring some volatility to him because you're

445
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: not guaranteed the same kind of touchdown usage that you

446
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: would get from other players. And he wasn't even in

447
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: the top one hundred of wide receivers and deep ball targets,

448
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: so you know, it's just that's part of what limits

449
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: Debo a little bit. And he takes a lot of hits.

450
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 1: You know, he gets carries, he gets tackled more than

451
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: most wide receivers do. But I don't care every players

452
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: an injury risk. I'm willing to look past that. And

453
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: he played basically all of last year, so I just

454
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: feel like, one way or another, he gets quarterback stability here.

455
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: No matter who the quarterback is, whether it's Trey Lance

456
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: or Brock Purty or Sam Darnold, Debo's gonna be back.

457
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: And I'm ready to get burned again, but I think
