1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, everybody, It's Wednesday, March twenty, twenty twenty four.

2
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, where we're looking

3
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: to trade the pick. It's being your man, NAMG Marcus Grant,

4
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 1: joined by Michael f Florio and LaQuan Jones and U.

5
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: I don't even know. I know this is a football show,

6
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: but have you guys looked at the tournament brackets at all?

7
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: No?

8
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 3: Sorry, I do two just that I do with some

9
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 3: friends of mine. I will admit I filled them out.

10
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 3: And then I heard people already saying like, this is

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 3: a team not to pick, and I'm like, oh, I

12
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 3: had that team going to like the Sweet sixteen. So

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 3: admittedly I know nothing.

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: I'm just guessing I know zero about it. I was

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: saying before the show, like it used to be that

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: Selection Sunday was my everything. In fact, I remember as

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: a as a child, I would get like, when the

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: bracket came out, I would get four like sheets of

19
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,839
Speaker 1: like you know, paper, and each one was its own bracket.

20
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: I would draw my own brackets and fill them in

21
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: and fill them in as the tournament went.

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 3: On and everything.

23
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: Like this year, I didn't even watch Selection Sunday even

24
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: watched the selection show.

25
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: Yeah I forgot that it's on in the afternoon in

26
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 3: Pacific time.

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. In fact, I feel like it was on

28
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: earlier this year than it had been in the It was.

29
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 3: Like two pm and it was over. I was like,

30
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 3: what the y day?

31
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: Go?

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: My fird?

33
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: We texted me like three fifteen. I'm like, wait, I

34
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: thought it didn't usually start until now. But that shows

35
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: you kind of how how things are for me. For

36
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: me in college basketball, that's all.

37
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 3: This is a football show, but last college basketball th

38
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 3: off for me ever since they broke up the original

39
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 3: Big East, it does not have the same appeal to me.

40
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: You know, It's funny because I'm not you know, I'm

41
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: a West Coast guy. But like I remember a couple

42
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: of years ago, like it was like Georgetown and Saint

43
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: John's were playing at like noon on a Monday or

44
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: whatever like this just to be like appointment television when

45
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: these two teams played. And now they're just like a

46
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: throwaway game or whatever. Hid marches on. Anyway, we are

47
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: talking fantasy football here. We got plenty to dive into

48
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: on this one. Still some movement, some player movement. I

49
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: guess it's technically free agency, but some trades that are

50
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: going to have a big impact on both the NFL

51
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: and fantasy football, so we will dive into that. We

52
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: will also get into some draft needs. We'll go through

53
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft because DJ went wild on

54
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: this one. So some things that could definitely shake some

55
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: things that will dive into that. But also Matthew Betts

56
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: is going to stop by talk some dynasty football. He

57
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: is part of the Fantasy Footballers Dynasty Pod, which you

58
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: can hear as part of the NFL podcast Network. So

59
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 1: we will talk to Matthew about some of the things

60
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: that may have shaken up the rankings with guys changing

61
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: teams in the free agency period. But let's start with

62
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: some things that happen and after we last spoke to

63
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: you on Thursday, which side note, by the way, everybody

64
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: who jumped in who watched our first streaming show, the

65
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: first edition of the cheat Sheet, we are super super grateful.

66
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: We thought it went well. We are going to keep

67
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: doing it. We will do another one for you this

68
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: coming Thursday and all throughout the off season. But just

69
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: a big thank you to everybody who jumped in on

70
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: the first episode. We heard from a lot of you

71
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: in the comments. I heard from a couple of people

72
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: afterwards on social media and the response was definitely positive.

73
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: So we are encouraged and we are grateful and hopefully

74
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: you guys keep supporting the show all throughout the off season.

75
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: In the meantime, some of the things that happened we

76
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: signed off on Thursday, The Bears have been busy. Apparently

77
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: the spring has come and Bears are out of hibernation

78
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: now and they are moving around and doing all sorts

79
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: of things. So a couple of notable moves for Chicago.

80
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen is now a Bear as part of a

81
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: trade from the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for a

82
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: fourth round pick. This comes after Alan and refused to

83
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: restructure his contract and take less money after having what

84
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: he said was the best year of his career. So

85
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: he goes to Chicago. In the meantime, Justin Fields is

86
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: packing his bags and no longer is in the Windy City.

87
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: He goes from there to the Steel City in Pittsburgh

88
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: to the Steelers in exchange for a conditional twenty twenty

89
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: five sixth round pick. I mean, first off, first thoughts,

90
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: either of you surprised at how little the Bears got

91
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: for Justin Fields in return.

92
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 2: Not really, I mean it turned into a fourth if

93
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: he ends up getting on the field, But I think

94
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: they did right for him. I'm not really surprised.

95
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 3: I was the exact opposite. I was completely shocked. I

96
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: didn't think they were gonna get like a first for him,

97
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: but a sixth. I know it's a conditional six, but

98
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: a sixth. Like I tweeted the other day, I was like,

99
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: I'm shocked that Justin Fields went for this little. I'm

100
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: shocked that the Steelers just didn't even make it a competition.

101
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 3: They were just like, he's our backup. And I was

102
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 3: shocked that if a six was all you can get,

103
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 3: why did the Bears not hold on to I understand

104
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: you don't want it to make it a thing, feel

105
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: but like, he is the best backup quarterback arguably in

106
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: the NFL now, and you just let him walk for

107
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 3: a sixth.

108
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: It did feel like they sort of just handed him

109
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: over for like, you know, please take them, you know,

110
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: Ham Sandwich. Basically, I'm surprised they didn't wait till maybe

111
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: after the draft, when teams have drafted quarterbacks and we

112
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: have a better idea of the landscape and maybe at

113
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: that point somebody's a little bit more desperate and you're

114
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: able to get a little bit more out of him.

115
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: But it was sort of becoming apparent as this thing

116
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: went on that the market for justin field maybe wasn't

117
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: what we anticipated back in January or February when the

118
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: first parts of this conversation were starting to happen. But

119
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: the Bears move on from justin fields. So let's talk

120
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: about Chicago first of all, because they're a lot of

121
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: teams that are impacted by this. First in Chicago, Uh,

122
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: they've got Keenan Allen, They've got DJ Moore. They also

123
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: have the number nine pick, and we'll probably talk about

124
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: that a little bit later on. So, uh, Florido, for you,

125
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: as you sit here right now, who is the wide

126
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: receiver one in Chicago?

127
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 3: I think it's DJ Moore. I think that DJ Moore

128
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 3: will he'll be the traditional wide receiver one for the Bears.

129
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: I think that he'll be the first wide receiver drafted

130
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: in fantasy. Uh. But really I think it's a one A,

131
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: one B type of situation. I looked back at so

132
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: last season, Dj Moore eighty percent of his routes came

133
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 3: out wide seventeen from in the slot, Keenan Allen forty

134
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 3: percent wide, fifty two in the slot. You know what,

135
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: That kind of reminds me of the way Shane Waldron

136
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 3: has used DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett in Seattle. Now,

137
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that DJ Moore is the same physical

138
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 3: specimen that that.

139
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:58,559
Speaker 1: People are.

140
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you are, but I could see DJ Moore

141
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 3: being used in that way and Tyler and Keenan Allen

142
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 3: kind of being used like like Tyler Lockett has been.

143
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: So I think there'll be some weeks where Keenan Allen

144
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: outscores more, some weeks where more outscores Keenan. But I

145
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 3: think because of age that DJ Moore is going to

146
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 3: be the first one drafted, and that's fine. I'm probably

147
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: gonna take the approach like if I could get a

148
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: rounder to discount on Keenan Allen, I'll take that the

149
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: the bigger concern I have. And Marcus, maybe you could

150
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: speak on this, because you've watched Caleb more than me

151
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: or Lakwana. I'd imagine I think he's gonna target out

152
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: wide a little bit more than the slot and be

153
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: a downfield, aggressive type of thrower. But how do you

154
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 3: think this plays out with these guys?

155
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you and Allen will still get

156
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: plenty of targets. Caleb will target the guy who gets open.

157
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: The spectacular plays you see from him are those deep shots.

158
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: A lot of those plays are things that happened out

159
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: of structure, and you know, sadly frustrating leave for me

160
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: as an SC fan. There were too many of those

161
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: plays last year. There were just a lot of things

162
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: where it was like things would break down, and Lincoln

163
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: Riley was basically like, all right, Caleb, go and you

164
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: can do that for a while. It works to a point,

165
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: but not all the time. But when things are in structured.

166
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: Part of the reason people love him as a prospect

167
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: is because even when things are right and the pocket

168
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 1: is clean, he will stand there and he can deliver

169
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: the football. He will deliver it on time, on target,

170
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: He will find the open guy. He has a very

171
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: easy motion that is incredibly repeatable. There are just so

172
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: many things about him that are just fundamentally sound. It's

173
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: just that the plays that that open your eyes and

174
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: make the highlight shows are the you know, he evades

175
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: two guys in the pocket, he rolls out and suddenly

176
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: he finds somebody forty yards downfield for a touchdown. So

177
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: I think that that both DJ Moore and both Keenan

178
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: Allen work. I think, you know, it's a really good

179
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: group for him to work with. So like, I still

180
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: think he's the PA at number one. You know, I

181
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: would be shocked if the Bears did anything else but

182
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: drapped him at number one. So I think it's gonna

183
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: be fine with the receivers he has there. Now, he's

184
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: got two quality wide receivers, two veteran guys who can

185
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: help his development along a lot.

186
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: He might have three.

187
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: I mean, a rookie could happen, definitely could happen. But lakwan,

188
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: I mean looking at this right, they've got the two

189
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: receivers there. They went out and they added DeAndre Swift

190
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: in free agency to go along with Roshawn Johnson and

191
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: Khalil Herbert. If this Waldron offense, I would think you're

192
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: gonna draft Kayleb Williams, You're gonna feature Kayleb Williams, You're

193
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: gonna throw the football a lot. Are you totally out

194
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: on the running backs now? In Chicago? Were you ever

195
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: in on the running backs.

196
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I love Khalil Herbert. I mean, you could

197
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: just go down my timeline and just see how much

198
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: I love this dude he is. It's such a great runner.

199
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 2: But there's obviously other running backs that are go to

200
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: be involved in that Bear's backfield. So I'm not totally

201
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: out on a DeAndre Swift because we kind of know

202
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: what he brings to the table. I mean, I look

203
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: at him as a career running back that's gonna share time,

204
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: but he's gonna be very efficient with his touches, So

205
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: I think he does have some RB two upside. I mean,

206
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: you could probably get him as an RB three, But

207
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: if the price is right for DeAndre Shift, I might

208
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 2: be in. Just based on this offense overload that they're

209
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: setting up. Caleb Williams like, you're gonna have to use

210
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: these weapons. You're gonna have to move Keenan Allen the

211
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: slot in the outside, You're gonna have to move him around,

212
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: and you're gonna have that ninth pick. And I say

213
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: they Joe go full blown overload, you know, with the

214
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: offense of adding another wide receiver there or maybe a

215
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: tight end. I don't know, but what I'm saying is overall, like,

216
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: I'm not completely out on the running backs. They just

217
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: have to be at the right price because each Bears

218
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: running back last last year had one hundred and fifteen

219
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 2: touches each. Like that is complete nasty work. They're just

220
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 2: eating off each other's plates.

221
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's rough, man. I see you nodding, Florida.

222
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: So I'm assuming you're still in on DeAndre Swift. No,

223
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: this is the second time he did. I love that.

224
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: I love that.

225
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 3: It's like, like, I know, I agree with everything el

226
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 3: Q said. I I think that DeAndre Swift was brought

227
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: here to be the lead back. I think they paid him,

228
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 3: and I usually typically am a like follow the money

229
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 3: because they know what they have in Herbert and Roshan.

230
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 3: And they still decided the minute the tampering window opened

231
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 3: to give DeAndre Swift a boatload of money. But I agree,

232
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 3: I think that he's a borderline RB two. He'll have

233
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 3: some nice weeks, but if he struggles, there's there's other

234
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 3: options there that could eat into his workload. Plus maybe

235
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: the touchdown opportunities go up because he's not on Philly

236
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 3: and he doesn't have to just push push. But is

237
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 3: he gonna see the target volume because to me, Caleb,

238
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: what what he excels at is like you were saying,

239
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 3: Marcus keeping the play alive with his legs and keeping

240
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 3: his eyes down field while doing that for that big

241
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 3: thirty forty yard spish play, I don't think he's gonna

242
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: feel pressure and be like, where's DeAndre Swift? I need

243
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 3: to get rid of that real quick. So the other

244
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 3: thing I was thinking though, when the Bears easily could

245
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 3: take a wide receiver, and I think it would be

246
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 3: smart giving Keenan Allen's age, But man, that receiver is

247
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 3: gonna get jsn'd again just like.

248
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: Ye man, like it's like, it seems great, it's great

249
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: for Caleb, it's great for the Bears. It would stink

250
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: for that particular receiver, and it wouldn't be great for fantasy.

251
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: Uh if that were to happen.

252
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: Have to be patient, man, gotta be patient.

253
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: But speaking of wide receivers, so the Chargers they let

254
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: go of Mike Williams, they trade Keenan Allen O cut.

255
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: Does this guarantee you they take a wide receiver at

256
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: number five?

257
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 2: I hope so? Or you know a little chaos that

258
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 2: we'll get too later you know the down. But I'm

259
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: a little worried man, to be honest, if they don't

260
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: take a wide receiver. But you have to get a

261
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 2: pie of this, you know, the one of the three

262
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 2: out of wide receivers that are still on the board.

263
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: Dunsaya would like their leak neighbors. I mean, obviously, Marvius

264
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: are j You have to pick at least one to

265
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 2: get Herbert some type of splash player out there, some

266
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: guy that's going to come off you know, come off

267
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 2: of the you know, out of camp with the knowledge

268
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: in chemistry with Herbert. You need a guy that's going

269
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: to be there to be a playmaker and change the

270
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: dynamic of his offense. Because we know they're going to

271
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: run the ball. But you still need a receiver out

272
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: there that's going to be demanding, you know, all these

273
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 2: targets and get the play action going, et cetera, et cetera.

274
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: Everything the Chargers have done this offseason says they want

275
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: to run the football. Yeah, they let those wide receivers go.

276
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 2: Two blocking tight ends.

277
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: They bringing two blocking side ends. They bring in Gus Edwards,

278
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: You've got Jim Harball, You've got Greg Roman. Guys who

279
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: have traditionally been a run first offense. Everything says they

280
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: want to run the ball. This is still the NFL

281
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: where you have to be able to throw it effectively.

282
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not I'm not sold. I think Greg Roman

283
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 3: and Harbo are looking right now and they're like, get

284
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: us Joe Alt or someone like that that we can

285
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 3: build our old line around for the next decade. And

286
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 3: receivers are so deep. What I think they're gonna do

287
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 3: is I think they're gonna trade down, get an old

288
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 3: lineman in the first and then probably pick up a

289
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 3: second pick in the second round or something like that,

290
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 3: and then you get some receivers there.

291
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: All right, So all that being said, as of this moment, Florida,

292
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: how are we feeling about Justin Herbert? I mean, this

293
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: is a guy who for the last couple of years

294
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: has been a lock as a top ten quarterback drafted.

295
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: Is he still that lock to be a top ten

296
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: quarterback drafted?

297
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 3: Let me say start off by saying that I had

298
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: picked Justin Herbert to be the NFL and he a

299
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: year ago. I am fading Justin Herbert as of right

300
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 3: now because I truly believe they're going to be like

301
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 3: the very move over Baltimore, Tennessee. He doesn't have Henry anymore.

302
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 3: Like the Chargers are going to be the new team

303
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: that I believe leads the league in rushing percentage or

304
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 3: at least attempts to. You look at the wide receivers,

305
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 3: there's a lot to be desired. You look at the

306
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 3: running backs, like pass catching wise, there's a lot to

307
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: be desired. New offensive system a whole one that I

308
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 3: don't know if you guys JJ McCarthy. They said, if

309
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 3: you see like a one on one out wide, can

310
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 3: you audible to a go route? And his response was,

311
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 3: I wish so. I don't know how much I think

312
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert's a really good quarterback. I just don't think

313
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 3: he's gonna get nearly the amount of volume too. And

314
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 3: because of his name and muscle memory, which is something

315
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 3: that we talk about a lot on the show, I

316
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 3: think people are gonna pull him up to be a

317
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 3: low ENQB one. I'd rather the quarterbacks that I would

318
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 3: take ahead of him, And then there's a bunch that

319
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 3: I would rather wait and just get some more upside

320
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 3: on Later in the draft.

321
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: He had a career low two hundred and forty one

322
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: passing yards per game this past season. I think that

323
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: number comes down maybe another time. Twenty yards, twenty thirty

324
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: yards this year in this offense, I mean it is

325
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: it's in part because of the philosophy of the guys

326
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: running the offense. It's because of the personnel. I really

327
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: do think that Justin Herbert, in terms of fantasy, is

328
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: going to fall off a cliff. I would hope though,

329
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: that Jim Harbaugh would see that he has this big, tall,

330
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: strong armed quarterback and would allow him to audible to

331
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: a route. Yeah. JJ McCarthy's I think a little bit

332
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: of a different animal. But I hope they think, hey, Herbo,

333
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: you see Josh Palmer with like one on one coverage

334
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: and you think he can win, Like, yeah, give it

335
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: a shot throughout. I was gonna say Quintin Johnston, but

336
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think they would do that for

337
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: Quinton Johnston. Not yet, not yet. We're there yet, not yet.

338
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: Some more wide receiver news and free agency. Mike Williams

339
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: has a new home. He is changing coasts, going from

340
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: Los Angeles to New York. He had been released by

341
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers. He now signs with the New

342
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: York Jetropolitans one year worth up to fifteen million dollars

343
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: for this one. Look, the Jets needed wide receiver help, right,

344
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,959
Speaker 1: I mean, Garrett Wilson was awesome last year despite having

345
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: some really bad quarterback play. So this this feels like

346
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: a big step in the right direction, especially having a

347
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: guy who does some very different things to to Garrett Wilson.

348
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: This feels like a big plus for this this Jets

349
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: offense right now.

350
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 2: No, I agree, they're getting a guy that could stretch

351
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: a field and we know how actabatic you know, catches

352
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 2: that you know Mike Williams does. He does a little

353
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 2: bit of everything that you know Aaron Rodgers desperately needed

354
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 2: outside of Garrett Wilson. I mean, honestly, they were getting

355
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 2: to Allen Lazars that raynal Cobbs like stop, stop, go

356
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: out and get a guy that you know has this

357
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: proofn talent. But my only concern here, honestly is if

358
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 2: he could stay healthy only sixteen games in the last

359
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: two seasons, Like if he could give us a full

360
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: season of you know, recovery obviously because he was turning

361
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 2: back from injury last season, but a full healthy season,

362
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: I think he could really make a difference on this offense.

363
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: I feel like that is going to be a consistent

364
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: theme with the Jets offense, is that can they keep

365
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: these guys healthy. You mentioned Mike Williams coming off injury.

366
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,479
Speaker 1: I mean Aaron Rodgers is forty years old coming off

367
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 1: and achilles tear. They signed Tyron Smith, who had a

368
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: lot of great years in Dallas but has had his

369
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: injury issues recently. Elijah Vira Teker, also on that offensive line,

370
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: has had his share of injury issues. So I get Look,

371
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: the Jets are taking some big swings, and if this

372
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: offense is healthy and everybody's on the field, they're going

373
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: to be really really scary to deal with. The question

374
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: is can they stay healthy over an extended period of time.

375
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: But lots lots lots to like, there are plenty of

376
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: targets to be had. Mike Williams potentially a downfield threat.

377
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: We know Aaron Rodgers can still throw a good deep ball.

378
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: This potentially could be really really interesting. The other team

379
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: obviously heavily involved in this are the Pittsburgh Steelers. So

380
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: Lakwan who starts more games at quarterback, Russ Wilson or

381
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: Justin Fields.

382
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 2: Oh I mean, I don't know, but I think Russell

383
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 2: will may get the star and he might end up

384
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 2: having more games, but his lease is going to be

385
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 2: very short. I mean, honestly, I'll give it six to

386
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 2: eight weeks, you know, before we start hearing you know,

387
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: fans pounding the table for Justin Thiel, because if he

388
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: can't get this offense at least up started to play

389
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 2: a little bit better than the quarterback play it was

390
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 2: last year, then he's gonna be in huge trouble man.

391
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: But he wasn't terrible in Denver. I'm not going to

392
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: bash him for his QB play over there in Denver.

393
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: It just didn't work out between you know, him and

394
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 2: Sean Payton. But he needs to elevate this Pittsburgh Steelers game.

395
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 2: You know, if they're going to have Arthur Smith, there

396
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 2: a getting the run game going. And we know how

397
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 2: good Russell Wilson is with play action, so he will

398
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: have the tools and resources in his bag to be

399
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 2: able to be Russell Wilson that we like for fantasy

400
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 2: and in real life football. But Lisa is going to

401
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: be very short for him.

402
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: Do we all agree that that Justin Fields will start

403
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: some games this year?

404
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 3: Yes, I actually think he starts more.

405
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised.

406
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think as passers they're pretty close right. Fields

407
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 3: has that huge dynamic. I can run for a thousand

408
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 3: yards and complete, and the way the Steelers play is

409
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 3: ground and pound and rely on their defense. I think

410
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 3: with both of them, the Cap is probably like the

411
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 3: seventh seed in the AFC. But it's Russ is the

412
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 3: better passer. I'm not going to deny that, but I

413
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 3: think it's close enough where fields rushing abilities should give

414
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 3: him the edge there in my opinion. But do you

415
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: guys think it's possible that we see an all out

416
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 3: committee here because I've seen partle online suggesting that, like

417
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 3: Russ is here between the twenties quarterback and in the

418
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 3: red zone, you bring in justin fields.

419
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: Oh, that feels awful. That feels like a terrible I

420
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: would not want to watch that game. That's that's that's

421
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 1: some high school level stuff, man.

422
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 2: Like high school or so both of you go out there.

423
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that that. I think that disrupts your offense.

424
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: It disrupts your timing with your wide receivers. I just

425
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: think that's a completely you know, because also at some

426
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: point I think you start to fall into tendencies right

427
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: where it's like when Justin Fields is out there, we

428
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: know that you're gonna you know, run eighty percent of

429
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: the time or whatever it is. I think you just

430
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: it gets it gets too easy to fall into tendencies.

431
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: But just Fields at a wide receiver.

432
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, forget the fantasy element of it. I

433
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: just think from a real football element, that just seems

434
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: like a terrible, terrible idea.

435
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 3: I would have a design play where he's a running back, though,

436
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 3: and you pitch it to him and then he just

437
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 3: like heaves it downfield to George Pickens.

438
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: Interesting. I don't know that Arthur is that creative though,

439
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: like that, Like, I mean, that feels like, you know,

440
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: it feels like, oh yeah, and Andy Reid, Kyle Shanahan

441
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: sort of thing. That doesn't feel like an Arthur Smith

442
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,719
Speaker 1: sort of thing. If anything, it'll be like, you know,

443
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: they pitch it to Pat Fryarmooth and he throws it

444
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: downfield to Justin Fields or something like that, which you know,

445
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: that seems terrible. That seems absolutely terrible. I mean, either

446
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: one of these guys excite you. I mean, obviously we

447
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: can't if Fields is the backup, we're not drafting Justin Fields.

448
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: I don't feel like we can draft Russell Wilson.

449
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 2: Either though at this point no, because it be a

450
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: short rental, you'll be drafting him and knowing that at

451
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 2: some point you're gonna have to bench him forever. I mean,

452
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: like it's kind of like a fade for me now

453
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 2: and now that Justin Fields is in, you know, in play.

454
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: But I will say I'll take those late round darts

455
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: on Justin Fields man and redraft, but obviously for Bestball,

456
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 2: you know you're gonna you're gonna get him there as well,

457
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 2: just in case.

458
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 3: I think the ceiling for like I worst case scenario

459
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 3: Russ is like, let's say he doesn't get benched. I

460
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 3: think like low end QB two, best case is borderline

461
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 3: QB one whars for Justin Fields, I think best case

462
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 3: scenario is he's a top five fantasy quarterback. So locking

463
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 3: to me, it's much much easier. Like I hate this

464
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 3: because I want Russ to get an opportunity to kind

465
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 3: of go out on his own terms, but like Justin

466
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 3: Fields should be starting, and especially as a guy who

467
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 3: cares about fantasy, I want Justin Fields starting seventeen games

468
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 3: this year.

469
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that'd be great. It's not gonna happen,

470
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: but it'd be great. I who starts nine that to win.

471
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: I guarantee you that in you know, one of the

472
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: you're in across the mini media leagues that we all

473
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: play in, at some point this year, someone is going

474
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 1: to say to you, and they will say it in

475
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: this exact tone. I'm starting Wressell Wilson this week because

476
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: like they're gonna have they're gonna have injuries. There's gonna

477
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: be a bye and you're gonna look at the schedule

478
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: and like there's nothing out there in the waiver wire.

479
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: It's gonna be bleak and you're gonna look at the

480
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: schedule and you'll be like, you know, I mean this

481
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: matchup it's really good. Like I can I can tell

482
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: myself a story where Rusk gives me like eighteen or

483
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: nineteen this week, Like you're you are going to talk

484
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: to somebody who's just and they're going to they're gonna

485
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: give you this big heavy sign and it's kind of

486
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: sad look and it's gonna say I'm starting Wressell Wilson

487
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: this week, Like that's that's what's going to happen. It's

488
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: going to happen at some point this year. I know

489
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm not the one saying it, but it could be

490
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: same else who knows same. But you know who I

491
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: just thinking of justin fields is this year is Kyler

492
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: Murray in the sense of, like, you don't know where

493
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: he's exactly going to play, but Whatdy's going to play.

494
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 3: The upside is top ten, maybe even higher at the

495
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 3: quarterback position.

496
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: Totally. Absolutely. One other move of note that's happened in

497
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: the last few days, Marquise Brown signed with the Chiefs

498
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: on a one year deal for up to eleven million dollars. Look,

499
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: I've been saying Marquis Brown should go to the Chiefs

500
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: for a while, so yay for me.

501
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 3: I guess.

502
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: Currently the wide receiver forty one on Underdog, stacked between

503
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin and DeAndre Hopkins Floria. Are you cool with that?

504
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially because on something like Underdog Best Ball you're

505
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 3: talking big plays. I think Marquis Brown is gonna kind

506
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 3: of be what he has been the last couple of years,

507
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 3: which is some down games, some really big games. Better

508
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 3: for best Ball. But this was the optimal signing for

509
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 3: the Chiefs. I agree with you, Marcus. I think this

510
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 3: is gonna help get them back to not what they

511
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 3: were with Tyreek Hill, but closer to that. And I

512
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 3: think this is great for like like Rashid Rice, Like,

513
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 3: if you are a Rashi Rice fan, do not think

514
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 3: that this is a bad thing. Yes, maybe Mark Brown

515
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 3: could take some more targets, but he's going to open

516
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 3: up so much underneath and so much yards like space

517
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 3: after the catch, which is what Rice and Travis Kelcey

518
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 3: excel in. So I think he is the perfect complimentary

519
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 3: piece for those two.

520
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I think this thing works in so

521
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: many levels for Marquis Brown. I think it works for

522
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs offense completely. Lakwan does this meet mahomes Is

523
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: back to being a top three fantasy quarterback off the board.

524
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 2: Uh, top three, He's right there. I think this is

525
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 2: a great move for him. This definitely does push him

526
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 2: back up in the ranks of where you feel confident

527
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: this year of taking Patrick Wilhlmes where you're like, okay,

528
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 2: I can expect some twenty point plus games from him.

529
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 2: Marquis Brown definitely he brings another element to that offense

530
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 2: that they kind of were missing last year with the

531
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 2: failed project of Kaderiz Tony. But I really feel as

532
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 2: though he's going to open up a ton for them.

533
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 2: And you know, you kind of look at, you know,

534
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: Marquis Brown these last two seasons with the Cardinals, I mean,

535
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: it wasn't good. I mean he only had thirteen games

536
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: total with Kyler Murray, you know, with them both battling

537
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: injuries back and forth. I mean six different quarterbacks the

538
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 2: last two seasons he's catching passes from. So his numbers

539
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 2: are going to look down, and his production and then

540
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera, because I was just looking at him. Man,

541
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 2: he generated two hundred targets in the last two seasons,

542
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 2: obviously being the one there at one point where DeAndre Hopkins,

543
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 2: you know, injured, but he averaged the fewest yards for game,

544
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 2: He had the fewest catches, the third fewest points per

545
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 2: game among the twenty nine you know, other wide receivers

546
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 2: that saw two hundred plus targets in the last two seasons.

547
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: So it's like his.

548
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 2: Numbers are down, his ADP is reflecting at forty one.

549
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 2: I'm buying into it because he's going to get a

550
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 2: steady quarterback that's going to be Patrick Mahomes that we

551
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,719
Speaker 2: know the proven talent is there to elevate every wide receiver,

552
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: every pass catcher on that offense's game other than Cadeers Tony.

553
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 2: But Marki's Brown is going to go out there and

554
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 2: do his thing that we know he knows how to do.

555
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I look or not Caner Sony. Marki's Brown

556
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: is sort of the anti Alan Robinson. You know Alan Robinson,

557
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: we begged for him to get a quarterback these years.

558
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: You look at you look at Marki's Brown's history. He's

559
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: had Lamar Jackson, He's had Kyler Murray. Now he has

560
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Like that's quality, man, that's nice work if

561
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 1: you can get it, absolutely nice working. Oh yeah, it is.

562
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 3: So to me, I think there's four like it's Alan Hurts,

563
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 3: Lamar Mahomes. I think to me, those should be the

564
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 3: locked and loaded first four quarterbacks off the board.

565
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking.

566
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, so he's in the top four. Just

567
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 1: you know the order based on personal preference. I presumes

568
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: what we are, all right. I think that's fair. Last

569
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: thing real quick before he hit a break, Jerry Judy,

570
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: the numbers for the contract are out out of this world.

571
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 2: Yikes lost for words.

572
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: Three years a total of up to fifty eight million

573
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: dollars forty one million guaranteed. Uh. This is the same

574
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: team that you know Dump trucked a ton of guaranteed

575
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: money on Deshaun Watson. We know they've got Amari Cooper,

576
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: David and Joku really came through last year. They still

577
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: have Elijah Moore. It just seems like a lot of

578
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 1: money for a guy who's production so far has not

579
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: been great in the first few years of his career.

580
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it ain't tricking if you got it, man,

581
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 2: I mean, if we got the money though out there

582
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: and get the talent, I honestly think you know, they're

583
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 2: paying Jerry Judy just based on his potential. They're going

584
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: to try to unlock it, and they're gonna put weapons

585
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 2: around Deshaun Watson to set him up for success. But

586
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: the problem is is like, do we have the right

587
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 2: attitude from Jerry Judy? Do we have the right system

588
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 2: for Jerry Judy? Are we going to deploy him and

589
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: utilize him in the right way in fashion? We don't know.

590
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: But this is a lot of money. So they're going

591
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 2: out there, They're gonna try to add additions you know,

592
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 2: around Deshaun Watson and make them successful. But I don't

593
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 2: agree with the contract. But we all lack at Christian

594
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 2: Kirk's contract, you know when he got paid.

595
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: So maybe it works out. Maybe it works out. You're right,

596
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, we should reserve judgment. It just I think

597
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: it caught everybody by surprise the numbers that the Browns

598
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: were to give Judy, and you're right, they are sort

599
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: of basing it. I think on what could be as

600
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: opposed to what has been. We'll see if it works out.

601
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I think there's going to be a

602
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: battle for that wide receiver receiver to spot. At least

603
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: I thought there was going to be between between Judy

604
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: and Elijah Moore. But now after the money that I

605
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: see coming through, maybe there won't be. Who knows, uh,

606
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: So we'll find out. Step away for a quickment. We're

607
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: gonna come back. We're going to talk with Matthew Bets.

620
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 4: you guys having me on. You know, I'm I'm always

621
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 4: like this time of year looking for shows to be

622
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 4: on that I haven't been on before. It's just good

623
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 4: to connect with different people and you know, talk talk

624
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 4: ball a little bit. So I appreciate you guys having

625
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 4: me on. I'm excited, totally.

626
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Look the Dynasty community. You guys sort of I

627
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: won't say you're dormant during the season because everybody's still

628
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: playing the game, but you guys really sort of come

629
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: out of hibernation once we get to January and then

630
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: there are trades happening, there are evaluations, rookie drafts will

631
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: be coming up in just a little bit. But I

632
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: know free agency is a big time for a lot

633
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: of folks and a lot of players sort of moving

634
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: up and down the rankings and probably changing hands across teams.

635
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: So that's why I wanted to get you on to

636
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: kind of talk about things now that we've kind of

637
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: gotten through this major wave of free agency. And the

638
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: first thing for me was justin Field is the name

639
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: that everybody was sort of keen on, right, a youngish

640
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: quarterback that had that rushing upside that seemed to be

641
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: you know, kind of in limbo of whether or not

642
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: he was going to be a franchise quarterback in Chicago.

643
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: Then we get the trade, he moves to Pittsburgh. He

644
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: is behind Russell Wilson at least for now, it seems

645
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: what does this do for his dynasty value? Are folks

646
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: holding justin Fields? How should be? How should dynasty managers

647
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: be handling this?

648
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, his value really has taken a massive hit, obviously

649
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 4: with the news that he has traded to the Steelers, which,

650
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 4: you know, you could say, look, maybe he does win

651
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 4: the starting job eventually over Uss, who is clearly not

652
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 4: the same blairer he was you know five years ago

653
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 4: in Seattle. That much is definitely true. But when I

654
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 4: look at this offense, and you think about Arthur Smith

655
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 4: and Mike Tomlin and the Steelers, who not a joke,

656
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,479
Speaker 4: I think, want to win every game seventeen fourteen if

657
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 4: they can control the ball, run the ball, play a

658
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 4: really good defense, and the turnovers are a killer. Right,

659
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 4: So like for that style, that's a killer. I don't

660
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 4: think Justin Fields fits that very well. And now I

661
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 4: like them move from an NFL standpoint for that team

662
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 4: basically for free they got him, right, I mean low cost,

663
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 4: and you know you get that quarterback room with Russ

664
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 4: who's being paid by Denver. Justin Field's on a very cheap,

665
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 4: you know trade. I like the moneyball approach from Pittsburgh,

666
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 4: especially with what they got from Kenny Pickett the last

667
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 4: couple of years. So I like to move on that front.

668
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 4: But for Dynasty, I think you just have to hold

669
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,479
Speaker 4: right now and you have to kind of hope that

670
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 4: he takes over the job. The issue is there's, you know,

671
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 4: in the comp pick situation, the Steelers are almost incentivized

672
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 4: not to play him. In other words, they have to,

673
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 4: you know, pay more to the Bears if he does,

674
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 4: you know, play a certain number of snaps or certa

675
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 4: number starts. I'm not sure the burbage, but basically they're

676
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 4: incentivized to play Russ in this situation. So it's a

677
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 4: really tough sell for me on this year as far

678
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 4: as trying to go out and get him. But if

679
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 4: you've got him, I think you hold and you hope

680
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 4: and you hope that he lands a starting job, you know,

681
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 4: maybe the back half this year, but into twenty twenty five.

682
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I was questioning myself and you explained

683
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 2: it perfectly. I feel like you kind of hold and

684
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 2: sit tight right now because we really don't know what's

685
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 2: going on. I'm just happy, you know, from an NFL standpoint,

686
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 2: where he went the location and hopefully he could probably

687
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 2: learn some things from Russell and maybe develop and kind

688
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 2: of see what Arter Smith has in store for him

689
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 2: if he ends up staying. But the dynasty.

690
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 4: Value did take a huge hit.

691
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 2: But for me personally, I'm gonna be out there buying.

692
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 2: I'm a guy that's out there just curious to see,

693
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: you know, what the price tag is kind of for

694
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 2: justin Fields, for somebody as a manager. I know you

695
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: said you're holding, but you're probably not really that buying.

696
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 2: But what would be the kind of like range and

697
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 2: value and price of like a Justin Fields right now

698
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 2: in a situation he's in.

699
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think if you're talking like rookie picks, especially

700
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 4: in a super flex format, honestly, I think the price

701
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 4: is so cheap at this point. It's probably a mid

702
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 4: to back end second round pick in a rookie draft,

703
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 4: which the hit rate on those we know is quite terrible,

704
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 4: as is this class. You know, there are there are

705
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 4: some some quality wide receivers that will fall because it

706
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 4: superflexed format. So I get why you'd want the second,

707
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 4: but I think that is kind of the fair range

708
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 4: right now for his value. If you're hoping to get more,

709
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 4: I don't see it out there. I have him in

710
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 4: a league where, you know, I really was trying to

711
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 4: move him quickly kind of before things settled when the

712
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 4: market started to dry up for him, and it wasn't

713
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 4: as a robust of a trade market just like the

714
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 4: NFL as I thought it'd be. So yeah, if you

715
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 4: can get him on the sheep, you know, if it

716
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 4: doesn't cost you much much like the Steelers did, I

717
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 4: get that. That's kind of where I see him valued.

718
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: Speaking of quarterbacks who have different situations. Now, it's a

719
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: different world for Justin Herbert in Los Angeles. Yeah, Jim

720
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: Harboss the head coach, Greg Rowans the offensive coordinator. These

721
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: are two guys that historically have wanted to run the ball.

722
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 1: Mike Williams now lands in New York with the Jets.

723
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen is at USC on Wednesday morning wearing Bears

724
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: gear checking out his potential new quarterback in Caleb Williams.

725
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: How far is Justin Herbert falling now? Because this looks

726
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: like a run based offense for the Chargers.

727
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, they have told us exactly what they want to

728
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 4: do with their moves.

729
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: Right.

730
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 4: You bring in Jim Harball, you hire Greg Grohman, you

731
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 4: let go of both Big Mike and Keenan, and you

732
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 4: signed two blocking tight ends and Gus Edwards on the

733
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 4: first couple of days of frequency. So the writing is

734
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 4: on the wall. Currently, they have four wide receivers on

735
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 4: the roster. Now, of course, the NFL Draft will happen,

736
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 4: but as of right now, it's Quinton Johnson as the

737
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 4: wide receiver one and Joshua Palmer. It's really hard in

738
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 4: fantasy exactly to be a good quarterback when you have

739
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 4: minimal pass attempts, which I think is the case obviously,

740
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 4: and you don't have elite talents help elevate your efficiency.

741
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 4: So for a guy that's you know, he could run

742
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 4: for somewhere in the range of three to five hundred

743
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 4: yards you know, in a good year, but like he's

744
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 4: never going to be Lamar Jackson obviously. So, man, this

745
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 4: is so sad. I love Justin Herbert. I'm a big

746
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 4: believer in him as a player, but for fantasy, like

747
00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 4: I think when people stat them out come, you know,

748
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 4: the start of the season, he's probably gonna be somewhere

749
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 4: in like the quarterback fourteen fifteen sixteen ish range. Man,

750
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 4: it's tough, and it's really sad because I think he's

751
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 4: one of the best actual passers in the NFL.

752
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 2: Oh Man, Yeah, I mean he's part of that five

753
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 2: thousand club. Man. He threw for five thousand yards not

754
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 2: too long ago. And it's like we're about to change

755
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 2: the entire offense. We're about to kick everybody out key pieces. Man, Like,

756
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 2: it's pretty nuts. But I kind of get the logic

757
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 2: if you guys agree, Like they didn't really do anything

758
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,439
Speaker 2: when they did have Keenan at the healthy didn't really

759
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 2: do anything. When they had Austin Eckler or Mike Williams,

760
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 2: they weren't a powerhouse team. But my question is, like,

761
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 2: what do I do with Justin Herbert right now? I

762
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 2: mean the writings on the wall like we talked about,

763
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,439
Speaker 2: like do I move him as a piece right now?

764
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 2: And what would the price.

765
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: Be looking like?

766
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 4: Also, yeah, I think you know, for me, for for

767
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 4: Dynasty leagues, I still am a believer in him as

768
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 4: a player. Like I said, so similar to the fields thing,

769
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 4: if there is a buying window, it's probably right now

770
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 4: where everyone sees the moves they made, everyone knows the

771
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 4: highers they made, and it's like, oh, this is going

772
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 4: to be terrible. But if you're a rebuilding team in Dynasty,

773
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 4: you're not a contender. I think it makes sense to

774
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 4: try to go out and get Justin Herbert in the

775
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 4: event that, hey, they do take a wide receiver at five,

776
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 4: or they trade back and still get one of the

777
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 4: wide receivers in this class that are top notch, and

778
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 4: they do up Justin Herbert's rushing. So I see the

779
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 4: path where it does work out down the line. But

780
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 4: I think just with this year in mind, you need

781
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 4: to be I think tempering expectations. But like I said

782
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 4: in Dynasty, you know, I still believe in him, and

783
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 4: year over year, it seems like the quarterback position in Dynasty,

784
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 4: especially super flex, is way overvalued.

785
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 2: You know.

786
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 4: We talk about that a lot on our show, where

787
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 4: it's like, hey, I've got the quarterback you know, fifteen,

788
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 4: Like he's locked in this year. Mac Jones isn't starting anymore,

789
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 4: Derek Carr might not be starting much longer. Like these

790
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 4: guys that you think you have and you just plug

791
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 4: him in as your quarterback too. You probably don't because

792
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 4: the NFL changes so quickly, but with Justin Herbert, there's

793
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 4: no doubt he is there, so he at least has

794
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 4: that security to his game.

795
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm playing in super flex leagues, Dynasty

796
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: or otherwise. I mean I think I've I've gotten to

797
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 1: a point where, depending on the quarterbacks on my roster

798
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: or on the board, sometimes it makes more sense to

799
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: just have that position be maybe another wide receiver or

800
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: somebody like that, you know, as opposed to trying to

801
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: just you know, shoehorn a quarterback in there just because

802
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: he is a quarterback. You know, what's the point that

803
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: guy's only going to give you fifteen points, you could

804
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: probably get sixteen or seventeen out of somebody at a

805
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: different position. I mean, I think that's sort of a

806
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 1: mindset that I think, you know, playing super flex, you

807
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: kind of have to learn to get out of a

808
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: little bit. But since we're talking about quarterbacks, it's kind

809
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: of keep this theme going because I think a lot

810
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: of them were impacted during free agency. The Jaguars lose

811
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, they bring in Gabe Davis. Davis never a

812
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: guy who's who could succeed and a really great offense

813
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen as quarterback. Now he goes to Trevor Lawrence.

814
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: Do these changes make you concerned at all about te

815
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: law down there in Jacksonville.

816
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so tough, right because, like I do think

817
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 4: he is a talented NFL quarterback. But for fantasy, you know,

818
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 4: when he was coming out of school out of Clemson,

819
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 4: kind of like similar to the Keleb Williams feeling, it

820
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 4: was like, oh, this can't miss. This is definitely gonna work,

821
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 4: no questions asked. Now, granted his rookie year was a

822
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 4: complete disaster, thank you, Erbert Meyer, but we need to

823
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 4: be realistic about who Trevor Lawrence is for fantasy, which

824
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 4: I think is a good back end quarterback one, maybe

825
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 4: high end quarterback two when you talk about, you know,

826
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 4: twelve man leagues. But is he ever going to be

827
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 4: a top five guy? I highly doubt it. We haven't

828
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 4: seen a huge ceiling from him as a runner, we

829
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 4: haven't seen him have an outlier touchdown season. And now

830
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 4: you lose Calvin Ridley, who you know, I don't know

831
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 4: that he was maybe a real one for fantasy. It's

832
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 4: certainly not. But like the NFL clearly viewed him that way.

833
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,439
Speaker 4: You lose him, you've got a three wide receiver set

834
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 4: currently as it stands with Gabe Davis, z A. Jones.

835
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 4: We'll see if they move on from him or not,

836
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 4: and Christian Kirk. So it's not inspiring, and I think

837
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 4: if there's someone else out there in dynasty circles that

838
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,439
Speaker 4: kind of uwse him as locked in top ten guy

839
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 4: moving forward, I'd probably be looking to get out from that. Personally,

840
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 4: I don't see a huge ceiling. Again. I think he's fine.

841
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 4: I think he can give quarterback to twelve numbers, but

842
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 4: in today's game, that doesn't really move the needle. A

843
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 4: lot for fantasy.

844
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 3: No, I completely agree.

845
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 2: I'm on the same side. He's not living up to

846
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 2: expectations whatsoever. And as a manager who has him on

847
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 2: a ton a ton of leagues, it's like twenty twenty

848
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 2: two was such a building block form where it's like, Okay,

849
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 2: we got thirty touchdowns oute of Trevor Larrence, you know, total,

850
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 2: so let's try to keep this going, and then kind

851
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 2: of takes, you know, a downslide. You know, he did

852
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 2: get banged up, and Calvin Ridley just clearly didn't work

853
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 2: with that system that they had going on, not utilizing

854
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 2: him properly. So I think I agree. I think this

855
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 2: will be the time another window to try to get

856
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 2: off of Trevor Lawrence because I think his name still

857
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 2: sells as a you know, NFL stud you know what

858
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 2: I mean. Like people think that he's this QB one

859
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 2: that we talk about amongst the Joe Burrows to Josh

860
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 2: Allence and stuff. But when we look at it for fantasy,

861
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 2: this isn't a guy I really want my roster where

862
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 2: I have a roster of Derek Carrs and Kirk Cousins

863
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 2: and etcetera. You know what I mean, Like this is

864
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 2: a real roster I have right now. I'm in pain

865
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 2: right now.

866
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: But that's a menu of mid the mid off.

867
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 2: That's the name of my team, the mid off.

868
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, look, I think I think Trevor Lawrence.

869
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: I think you guys are have the nail on the head.

870
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: Is that Trevor Lawrence. He's not a bad quarterback, but

871
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: he's not the you know, generational franchise guy that he

872
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: was projected to be coming out of Clemson. You know

873
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: how much of that is on Trevor Lawrence? How much

874
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: of that is on us with our lofty expectations. We

875
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: can debate that for a while. No, not similar expectations

876
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: for will Levis, but definitely there were some expectations, some

877
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,760
Speaker 1: hope that will Levis could help turn things around in Tennessee.

878
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: And this year I think he finally gets a true

879
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: opportunity to do that. They go get Calvin Ridley, they

880
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: bring in Tony Pollard. It looks like they want to

881
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: throw the football more. Our our dynasty managers buying Will

882
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: Levis right now, Matthew.

883
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 4: I don't think they are, really. I haven't seen a

884
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 4: huge market for him in the leagues that I play in.

885
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 4: I get why you'd be excited because you know, they

886
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 4: bring in a definitely more pass friendly offense. They still

887
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 4: have Daniel Hopkins, they bring in Cavin Ridley to a massive,

888
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 4: massive contract, and they bring in too, you know, non

889
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 4: Derek Henry esque running backs that kind of win in

890
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 4: space right, very different, you know, skill sets in Tajy

891
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 4: Spears and Tony Pollard. So I get why you'd be

892
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 4: excited because they are surrounding him with those weapons. The

893
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 4: issue for me is that I'm just a firm believer

894
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 4: in when a player shows you who they are. I'm

895
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 4: not saying these guys need to be superstars right out

896
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 4: of the gate, but when they show you who they are,

897
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 4: it's usually who they are, especially at the quarterback position.

898
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 4: And he was a big time, big time you know

899
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 4: liability against pressure last year. Just cannot see pressure whatsoever.

900
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 4: The offensive line is still a mess. So if their

901
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,399
Speaker 4: plan is to up the pass rate and drop back

902
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 4: Will Levis a ton I'm worried about that.

903
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 3: Now.

904
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 4: They could deerfinitely take him offensive tackle at seventh overaw

905
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 4: and that would help certainly. But I'm not a Will

906
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,919
Speaker 4: Levis guy. I don't see him as a stick around

907
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 4: as a starter in the NFL for very long. So

908
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 4: right now in dynasty leagues, if there's an opportunity to

909
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 4: get out from Will Levis, I think it's it's right now.

910
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest. I got nothing for Will of Levis.

911
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 2: I completely agree. I got hot take or something someone No, no, no, no, no.

912
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think it is kind of

913
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: wish casting, right And I think if you if you've

914
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: got Will Levis, maybe you're keeping your fingers crossed and

915
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:25,720
Speaker 1: hoping he develops into something.

916
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 2: I'm curious he has a big arm. You got some

917
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 2: weapons on the perimeter now, and you know.

918
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 1: Are you curious to kick the tires?

919
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 2: No?

920
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: All?

921
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 4: Right?

922
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 2: Then then right exactly.

923
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: That's the end of that one. There a lot of

924
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 1: veteran running backs changing teams this past this off seas.

925
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: I guess this past couple of weeks, you know Saquon,

926
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, Aaron Jones, Derek Henry. Of the guys who

927
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 1: moved and have new landing spots, which one have you

928
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: seen get sort of the biggest bump in interest in

929
00:43:59,080 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: dynasty leagues.

930
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 4: I think everyone right now is hot and heavy for

931
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 4: Josh s. Jacobs because when you look at just the

932
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 4: Green Bay Packers running back room as a whole. Over

933
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 4: the last several years, it's been one we want to

934
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 4: invest in. Right They've been very good, even AJ Dillon,

935
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 4: who was terrible last year from an efficiency standpoint, but

936
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 4: there was years where AJ Dillon was pretty good in

937
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 4: that backfield. So I think people are just, you know,

938
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 4: they see the four year contract with a major asterisk

939
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 4: next to it for Josh Shacobs, because it's really a

940
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 4: one year deal worth about fourteen million dollars and there's

941
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 4: three option years for Green Bay. So right now, for me,

942
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 4: I have Josh Jacobs in a couple of leagues. I'm

943
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 4: excited about the landing spot. But I think he might

944
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 4: be overvalued in dynasty for a couple of reasons. One

945
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 4: is the contract, which again is a little bit misleading.

946
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 4: The other thing is that you know, and he did

947
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 4: hold out for the entire offseasons, so that played a

948
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 4: role in it. But there's no way to really, you know,

949
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 4: argue like he was one of the worst running backs

950
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 4: in football last year and if he goes to the situation,

951
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 4: it doesn't work out, and Green Bay says, you know what,

952
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 4: We're not going to take those three extra years with you,

953
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 4: You're stuck holding back again in dynasty. So I'm trying

954
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 4: to kind of strike while the iron's hot and maybe

955
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 4: move on from Josh Jacobs and see if I can

956
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,240
Speaker 4: get in early first this year in the rookie draft

957
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 4: or you know, swap an upgrade at the position if

958
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 4: I can.

959
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, definitely, if you can go in that

960
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 2: early round, that in that first round and try to

961
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 2: get you know, team needs, I will be willing to

962
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 2: move over Josh Jacobs, you know, based on last season's performance.

963
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 2: But more so I'm just really this is where I'm

964
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 2: curious to where I'm kicking the tires on this as well.

965
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 2: I have acquired some Josh Jacobs for you know, basically

966
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 2: a late first round, but I definitely think that his

967
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 2: ability to be used in the passing game will help

968
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 2: his PPR right his upside. And I think that more

969
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 2: so with the electric young talent that the Packers have

970
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 2: on that perimeter and et cetera. There's gonna be a

971
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 2: lot of interchangeing of where you know, Christian Watson, He's

972
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 2: probably not gonna be available for X amount of weeks,

973
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. Jayden Reed is an electric offense and

974
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 2: you get that run game going with the play action

975
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 2: with Jordan Love, I think we can actually get a good, bounced,

976
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 2: decent Josh Jacobs this season. Just I just don't see

977
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 2: him being the work whorse he was over there in

978
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 2: Las Vegas.

979
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, I think I think some of

980
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: this two comes back to you, like depending on who

981
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: you're targeting. And Matthew kind of talked about this with

982
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. Some of it depends on your positioning. Right,

983
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: if you are a team that feels like you are

984
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: trying to win, now, maybe you take a chance on

985
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: somebody with you, maybe with a little bit of a

986
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,280
Speaker 1: shorter runway, right, I mean Derrick Henry obviously at age thirty,

987
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: maybe not as valuable as he once was, but in

988
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: a position to be productive. If that helps you, I

989
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 1: think you go do that. I think Josh Jacobs gives

990
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: you a little more leeway that four years, being a

991
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: little bit younger, gives you a little bit more time

992
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: to play with. And is there a strong running back

993
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: market outside of like you know, you mentioned Josh Jacobs,

994
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: but I mean, obviously people are still interested in Christian McCaffrey,

995
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: probably less so because he's a year older. But Bijon,

996
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: Breze Hall, Jamiir Gibbs i'd imagine are very popular. Is

997
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 1: there a strong running back market out there right now?

998
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 4: Non Dynasty man, I mean it really is like that.

999
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 4: I mean you can include CMC I guess in that

1000
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 4: kind of top four, but really like those top three

1001
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,439
Speaker 4: stud young running backs who the off season has gone

1002
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 4: great for Brice Hall with investing the offensive line. Obviously,

1003
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 4: you bring in like Williams another weapon there, Aaron Rodgers

1004
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 4: presumably healthy, and then Bijon gets rid of Arthur Smith

1005
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 4: and brings in Kirk Cousins. It's like these two of

1006
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 4: both have seen their situation improve and GiB showed us

1007
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 4: everything we were looking for last year. So like that

1008
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 4: big three, you know, they are the cornerstones of the

1009
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 4: running back position in Dynasty, and beyond that you kind

1010
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 4: of have like a middle tier, I think, where it's like, okay,

1011
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 4: maybe you can make an argument for Devoni Chan or

1012
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 4: Karen Williams or Jonathan Taylor, maybe Travis Etn. But after

1013
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 4: that it's such like a bunch of guys. You know,

1014
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 4: it's really tough from a Dynasty value standpoint. Beyond those guys,

1015
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 4: and I think part of the reason for that is

1016
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 4: because this year's rookie running back class is not quite

1017
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 4: as strong. We probably will have a hit or two

1018
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 4: in that class, but relative to last year, where it's like, oh,

1019
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 4: we're getting Bijon and Gibbs in the top twelve of

1020
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 4: the NFL Draft, we're not getting anything close obviously, And

1021
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 4: so these kind of free agents that had I think

1022
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 4: the running was on the wall, maybe they're starting to

1023
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 4: decline a little bit, like the Joe Mixons of the world.

1024
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 4: Maybe Derrick Henry, like those kind of guys. They now

1025
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 4: have a second chance right to kind of rebound in value.

1026
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 4: So in my personal approach, I'm trying to kind of

1027
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 4: take more of a moneyball approach here with running back,

1028
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 4: where you know, if I am a contender, I don't

1029
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 4: really want to go out and pay top dollar for

1030
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 4: you know, Jonathan Taylor when I maybe get eighty percent

1031
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 4: of the production from someone like Joe Mixon in a

1032
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 4: good offense, you know, someone like that Derrick Henry, if

1033
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 4: the touchdown variance goes his way, I'll I guess Gus Edwards.

1034
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 4: That's kind of my approach right now in Dynasty with

1035
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 4: running backs because it is I think a pretty big

1036
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 4: drop off after the top four.

1037
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: Last one here. I appreciate the time. Look, I know

1038
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: we're talking free agency, but the draft obviously coming around again.

1039
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the wide receiver class has been lauded, heralded

1040
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 1: as being really really great, really really deep, the top

1041
00:48:58,360 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: three in whatever order you want to put a mar

1042
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: Harrison Junior, Elite Neighbors, Romo Donze for dynasty managers, which

1043
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: one of these guys is the biggest no brainer regardless

1044
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: of landing spot.

1045
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I'm gonna take the chalk here. I'm

1046
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 4: gonna take Marvin Harrison Junior. He's been the dude for

1047
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 4: the last couple of years. It's like as soon as

1048
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 4: we knew he was going to declare, like he's clearly

1049
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 4: the guy. And I know there's been a little bit

1050
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 4: of buzz this week and saying, hey, hey, there's some

1051
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 4: teams out there that might have Molik Neighbors over him.

1052
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 4: I get it, but like, are you just kind of

1053
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 4: getting you know, prospect fatigue at this point, kind of

1054
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 4: forgetting how good Marvius Harrison Junior is.

1055
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 1: To me?

1056
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 4: He's the guy in this class and he's gonna be great.

1057
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think a prospect fatigue has become real,

1058
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: especially like guys like Marvin Harrison, guys like Caleb Williams

1059
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: that we have been talking about for two years now.

1060
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: I mean to the point that we're starting to nitpick

1061
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: literally everything. I saw a tweet this morning that said, oh,

1062
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 1: Caleb showed up late to his pro day. Take from that,

1063
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: which you will, And I'm like, I take nothing from it.

1064
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: I don't care what color was his nails. Yeah, I mean,

1065
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: it just it doesn't matter. So I think we have

1066
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 1: reached prospect fatigue time. And the good news is we

1067
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 1: still have like six weeks to go until the draft,

1068
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: so we'll get wrong. What could go wrong exactly. Matthew

1069
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: Betts appreciate the time for folks who are uninitiated. Where

1070
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:14,600

00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:38,320

Speaker 1: Absolutely yeah, I'm glad to have you guys in the family. Guys,

Speaker 1: Absolutely, take a quick break. Come back, we're gonna talk

1089
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: some draft needs. Diving into Daniel Jeremy latest mock draft

1090
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: DJ chooses Violence. We got that coming up next on

1091
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast thanks to Matthew Betts. Be

Speaker 1: you download Fine Podcasts, part of the NFL Media podcast Network.

1094
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: Speaking of Dynasty, the draft is creeping up. I don't know,

1095
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: it's still what six weeks away basically until we start drafting,

1096
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: and so that means we are heavy in the midst

1097
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: of mock draft season. Daniel Jeremiah, our own draft guru,

1098
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: has just put out his mock draft three point zero

1099
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: and as he said on Twitter, he chose chaos with

1100
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: this one, and he was absolutely right. Some of the

1101
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: highlights in this He's got the Vikings trading up to

1102
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: number four to take JJ McCarthy. So he's got four

1103
00:51:56,239 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the first four picks, right, He's got Calebilliams,

1104
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 1: Drake May, Jaden Daniels, and JJ McCarthy all the first

1105
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: four picks off the board. He's got the Jets moving

1106
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: up to number five to take Marvin Harrison junior. He's

1107
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: got the Bears taking Rome Odoonza at number nine. He's

1108
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,280
Speaker 1: got Brock Bowers going to the Broncos at number twelve.

1109
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think some of the Michael Pinnox at

1110
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 1: thirteen to the Raiders. Some things to chew on in

1111
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 1: this mock draft from Daniel Jeremiah. First off, anything in

1112
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: that list there, Floya that I read off that really

1113
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,320
Speaker 1: really kind of blows your mind.

1114
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,240
Speaker 3: The one thing I had never considered was the Jets

1115
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 3: moving up to five to get Marvin Harrison junior, and

1116
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 3: a known Jets haters, that's not a surprise, but that

1117
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 3: would be a tremendous move for them for the off

1118
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 3: and not just for this year. Like, yes, Aaron Rodgers

1119
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 3: would have two tremendous but long term you're talking about

1120
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 3: that's probably the wouldn't say probably, I would say that

1121
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 3: is the best young one two punch in the NFL.

1122
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 3: So even if Aaron Rodgers becomes president or whatever in

1123
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 3: a year, he's not just quarterback. Whoever comes into that

1124
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 3: situation would be coming into one of the With Breece

1125
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 3: Hall there as your running back you're talking about, and

1126
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:21,240
Speaker 3: the on line investments they made, there's a tremendous offense

1127
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:22,240
Speaker 3: for any quarterback.

1128
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like Aaron Rodgers may not be the

1129
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 1: VP nominee. In fact, it looks like they may be

1130
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 1: going with somebody off the Shanahan tree. Sort of joking.

1131
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 3: I wasn't sure if you were being serious.

1132
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, sort of joking but not. Yeah, anyway, just google

1133
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: it you'll find out yourself. Leakwan, you quote tweeted this

1134
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 1: and you talked about the brock Bauers at twelve to

1135
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 1: the Broncos. That sort of hurts my heart.

1136
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that was just like, what, like, this

1137
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 2: is crazy I mean it would be a Sean Payton move.

1138
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 2: I mean, best available is what Daniel Jeremiah said in

1139
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,839
Speaker 2: this article. That'll be best available player right there. But

1140
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 2: I gotta say I'm not mad at it. I'm not

1141
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,320
Speaker 2: mad at it. I think Ron Awers would be instant

1142
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 2: Fantasy Gem right there to where he will be a

1143
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 2: lock in that top three. Just getting fed targets. I mean,

1144
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 2: might have Jared Stanham throwing you the ball.

1145
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: But I don't feel like you can discount that though,

1146
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 1: until they figure out the quarterback situation because it's nasty.

1147
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 2: I'm just excited to see it, though, I kind of

1148
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 2: want to see it.

1149
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,280
Speaker 1: And look, I know we got all excited right because

1150
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 1: we saw rookie tight ends do things this past year.

1151
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: Right when Sam Laporte is going out and being the

1152
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 1: tight end one, when we see Dalton Kincaid having flashes,

1153
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 1: We're seeing a lot of these young tight ends do things.

1154
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: The connective tissue is that those guys had decent quarterbacks

1155
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 1: and we're good and good offenses, and right now you

1156
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: can't say that about the Broncos. I mean, I like

1157
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: Greg Dulsic enough coming out of college, and he had

1158
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 1: some decent moments in his rookie season and then the wheels.

1159
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: You know, I won't say they fell off, but he

1160
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: kind of he just kind of disappeared. So like I

1161
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: don't I don't want brock Bauers to go to Denver.

1162
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:08,240
Speaker 1: I just don't.

1163
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 2: Hey, maybe Drew Brees is coming out of retirement. Man,

1164
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 2: never know, the.

1165
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 1: Arm is shot, like he's he gonna throw left handed?

1166
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: Like I what, what's gonna happen? I know, I just

1167
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: I don't want this man. He chose chaos.

1168
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 2: He will go wild energy doing this mock draft by

1169
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 2: the way, but shout out Dan, Daniel Jeremier.

1170
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 1: And it's like Drew Brees just recently said, like his

1171
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 1: right arm doesn't work when he plays with his kids,

1172
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: he throws left handed, Like yeah, that would work. Funny,

1173
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: Actually that works in the backyard with your kids. That

1174
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: does not work when you're facing down, you know, Max

1175
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 1: Crosby and Christian Wilkins a couple of times a year,

1176
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,800
Speaker 1: right like when you're dealing with Chris Jones in your face,

1177
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 1: Like you try to toss the ball left hand, It's

1178
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: probably not gonna work out, Uh consistently. That's just my

1179
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 1: thought there looking around though, some of the other things

1180
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 1: that potentially could happen.

1181
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 4: Uh.

1182
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: One of the questions I asked was, uh, do the

1183
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: Vikings up to get a quarterback? According to DJ he

1184
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: suggesting maybe they get up to get JJ McCarthy. If

1185
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:10,800
Speaker 1: that happens Floria, I mean, does he start over Sam

1186
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: Darnold right away or does he sit and watch? And

1187
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 1: what does this mean for Justin Jefferson?

1188
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 3: I could see it going either way. Do you never

1189
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 3: know what these teams. I am of the mindset that like, hey,

1190
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 3: if you drafted him, moved up, already made a trade

1191
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 3: to get a second first round pick, and then if

1192
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 3: you give up both of those plus more to move

1193
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 3: up to get this kid, start him right away. But

1194
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 3: teams sometimes like to use this bridge quarterback. Either way,

1195
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 3: we're gonna see j McCarthy by October if this situation

1196
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 3: plays out. So for j Justin Jefferson, it's still a

1197
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 3: downgrade from Kirk Cousins. And I would be saying that

1198
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 3: about really any outside of Caleb maybe, but even Caleb

1199
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 3: like not as proven not the chemistry isn't there. There's

1200
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 3: gonna be some growing pains. So I think going from

1201
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 3: a veteran like Kirk to any of these coreuarterbacks is

1202
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 3: an immediate twenty twenty four downgrade, but he's still justin Jefferson.

1203
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy is a really toolsy quarterback prospect, so I

1204
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 3: think that he'll be fine. He's still a first round

1205
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 3: wide receiver, but I don't think he is the wide

1206
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 3: receiver one anymore. In fact, I think he's closer to

1207
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 3: five than to one at the wide receiver position. But

1208
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 3: he's still justin Jefferson.

1209
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Lakwan, we talk about Brock Bauers DJ mocking

1210
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: him to the Denver Broncos. Don't they have to get

1211
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback? I mean, don't they have to try and

1212
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 1: move up and do something to get a quarterback. They

1213
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: can't go into the year with Jared Stidham as their.

1214
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 2: Number one right. No, they absolutely have a plan. I

1215
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 2: like them getting aggressive going up and getting JJ kind

1216
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 2: of locking that up, and so I really feel as though,

1217
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 2: you know, they come in and get a quarterback.

1218
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: They definitely need it. Yeah, I mean, I think they

1219
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 1: have to do something. It's just it can't be and

1220
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: I think you know, for Sean Payton, honestly, Sean Payton

1221
00:57:57,640 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 1: going after JJ McCarthy would seem to make a lot

1222
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 1: of sense. It just feels like he wants a toolsy

1223
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: guy who he can sort of, you know, mold a

1224
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:04,919
Speaker 1: little bit.

1225
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 3: I feel like bo Nicks is his guy, like a

1226
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 3: veteran quarterback coming out of college. But I also could

1227
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 3: see the Broncos completely punting this year and saying, we

1228
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 3: have to clear all this cap. Let's go without a

1229
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 3: quarterback and just ensure us that we have a top

1230
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 3: two or three pick next year.

1231
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: But it'll be really rough for a year. It's gonna

1232
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 1: be really rough, especially because the consensus right now is

1233
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: that next year's quarterback draft class is not very exciting,

1234
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: which is why supposedly we have all these teams trying

1235
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: to elbow each other to move up. It's why the Bears,

1236
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: the Commanders, and the Patriots reportedly are not interested in

1237
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: moving out of the top three because they feel like

1238
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 1: this is their best chance over the next couple of

1239
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: years to find the guy who can be the guy.

1240
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: So I mean, look, look, I can't speak to what

1241
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 1: Sean Payton is going to do, what his mindset is,

1242
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 1: but it feels like punting on quarterback this year is

1243
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 1: an awful idea. But that's just me, I gotta ask

1244
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: you this floy because do the Bills do they target

1245
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: a wide receiver in the first round.

1246
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 3: I hope so, but I think the Curtis Samuel signing

1247
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 3: allows them to look they have to take a wide

1248
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 3: receiver in the first two rounds and they have a

1249
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 3: lot of draft capital this year eleven picks, so they

1250
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 3: potentially maybe move up in the second or something like that.

1251
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 3: I'm hoping they take their guy in the first, but

1252
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 3: I think with Curtis Samuel, the fact that he could

1253
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 3: play outside and in the slot, is more of a

1254
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 3: yat guy than they've had and has some speed there

1255
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 3: as well. He kind of gives them the versatility where

1256
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 3: if they're not in love with someone in round one,

1257
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 3: maybe they wait for someone in round two. But either way,

1258
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a not the best fan

1259
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 3: like you would think, Okay, great fantasy landing spot with

1260
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 3: Josh Allen, but I think like they're not going to

1261
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 3: get one of the big names of this class, like

1262
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 3: the top. So whoever they get, I could see being

1263
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 3: a rotational piece with sometimes like the rookie plays out

1264
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 3: wide and Samuel plays in the slot. Sometimes Samuel's out

1265
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 3: wide and Shakiir's in the slot, and then you have

1266
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 3: Dalton and Kid getting mixed in there as well. So

1267
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 3: I think they should be in the I think they're

1268
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 3: one hundred percent in the market for one. I think

1269
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 3: they will draft one early. I'm just not entirely sure

1270
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a first round pick because they've never

1271
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 3: taken one. This regime has never taken in the first round.

1272
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 3: I was gonna ask you about the Curtis Samuel thing too.

1273
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 3: It sounds like you're in on Curtis Samuel. When it

1274
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 3: first happened, I was like, Okay, this is a solid

1275
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 3: depth signing. But the more I looked at it, the

1276
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 3: more I'm like, there's his best year ever came with

1277
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 3: Joe Brady. He's got some untapped speed, and front of

1278
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 3: the show Matt Harmon loves him, so that's enough for me.

1279
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 1: I feel like your description of it is how most

1280
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: of fantasy Twitter sort of approached it, like it was

1281
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 1: a signing that kind of went under the radar. It

1282
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 1: didn't get a ton of fanfare, but I think when

1283
01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: people kind of started to dive into what it means

1284
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 1: in the context of that offense and who Curtis Samuel

1285
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 1: has been as a player. I think the consensus has

1286
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 1: been like, no, this could be really good. There's the

1287
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: potential for it to be really good.

1288
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's been a contributor man, even with the Commanders,

1289
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 2: with his time over there bat own injury. I mean,

1290
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 2: he's a guy you can move around the offense. He

1291
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 2: even put him out of the backfield. I mean that's

1292
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 2: that's great for Josh Allen to have a guy like that,

1293
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 2: you know, on the offense where he could look for

1294
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 2: him anywhere on the playbook and he'll.

1295
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 1: Be there for him. He's a reliable wide receiver. I

1296
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 1: like him, Yeah, one hundred percent. So yeah, anyway, I

1297
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 1: just god to dive into some of the draft stuff

1298
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 1: a little bit. Now that we are mostly through the

1299
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 1: free agent period, we can sort of turn our attention

1300
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 1: to it. We're still, you know, at some point, we're

1301
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: still trying to get Bucky Brooks on. We get some

1302
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: of our friends across the industry, some of our friends

1303
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 1: across the industry who are scouting. You look, at some

1304
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: point we got to get Harmon on because you know,

1305
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 1: he's better to talk about wide receivers than Matt Harmon.

1306
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 1: Maybe get our O pal Joel Smith on too, because

1307
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 1: he's doing a lot of really good kind of scouting stuff.

1308
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 1: He's a good guy to talk to him. Plus he's

1309
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 1: our pal. So why not getttal Kata too, a Mettalcata,

1310
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 1: who's another wide receiver whisperer out there. Get his thoughts

1311
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 1: on some of these wide receivers out there that are

1312
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 1: available in the draft. A couple of program notes for you.
