Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice.
Speaker 1: Now along with the guys from fanball dot com. Here's
Speaker 1: the host for Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly.
Speaker 1: A coronavirus version. Man, it is uh, it is different.
Speaker 1: It's a whole different landscape. It's weird out there. It's
Speaker 1: not weird here though. Although it's been a long time
Speaker 1: since Brian Johnson has been on Welcome back a charge.
Speaker 1: It is great to be back. And it is strange
Speaker 1: podcasting in a has Matt suit that we're wearing right now.
Speaker 1: I know, um the big yellow has Matt the helmet
Speaker 1: makes it really really weird. But better safe than sorry, right.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of what was the Dustin Hoffman movie,
Speaker 1: uh Renee Russo. Yeah, it's like it was like contagion,
Speaker 1: but it isn't that. It was Hot Zone, remember Red
Speaker 1: Hot Demmick or No. But I should play the board
Speaker 1: right now where the monkey brings the disease over. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're living that. Yeah, that was that was a movie.
Speaker 1: You're right, and I just can't remember the name. Uh,
Speaker 1: somebody on Twitter will no doubt, we'll no doubt tweeted
Speaker 1: to us. Uh, speaking of which, people can follow you
Speaker 1: a Twitter at b t x J. Yeah, I'm still
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Absolutely, you're still on Twitter, And of course
Speaker 1: I am too. At Paul Charchi and last week myself
Speaker 1: our good friend Matt Harrison. We broke down the top
Speaker 1: six rookie running backs. But then I've charged you with
Speaker 1: a more difficult task. Give me the next tier running backs,
Speaker 1: I said, Brian, And you gave me five more guys.
Speaker 1: Some of these players are better than the guys we
Speaker 1: discussed last week. I was about to say, it's not
Speaker 1: it wasn't a difficult task to start. At least when
Speaker 1: we get into the first guy, she just dive right
Speaker 1: in because yeah, Matt, Matt left me a little too
Speaker 1: much meat on the boone. Uh, specifically two forty seven
Speaker 1: pounds of meat the form of a J. Dillon from
Speaker 1: Boston College six ft seven. Uh. Of course it's foot
Speaker 1: you mean. Running backs are not normally six ft tall,
Speaker 1: nor are they normally two hundred fifty pounds, And normally
Speaker 1: they don't go to the combine and record the highest
Speaker 1: vertical leap, weighing in at two forty seven among among
Speaker 1: running backs, of course the highest. That's that's that's insane. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's insane. And by the way, you'd think that all
Speaker 1: of that would call that Matt body mass would cost
Speaker 1: him speed. He ran a four five three. A J.
Speaker 1: Dylon is a freak. Yeah, Clyde Edwards Hilaire who we
Speaker 1: also like six. So yeah, of course, landing spot matters
Speaker 1: for every rookie in draft capital, but yeah, Dylan's got
Speaker 1: top five rookie running back. I think he's almost a
Speaker 1: lock to be a top five rookie running back with
Speaker 1: top three upside. Yeah, depending on where class and depending
Speaker 1: where he lands is always the thing that we end
Speaker 1: up saying about all of these guys, so you almost
Speaker 1: shouldn't say it. It's almost like saying, well, if he
Speaker 1: stays healthy, dot dot dot um. You know, landing spot
Speaker 1: is as a factor for all of these guys. But
Speaker 1: A J. Dillon has got three down workhorse potential that
Speaker 1: a lot of other backs in this draft do not have.
Speaker 1: His easiest comp is Derrick Henry right now. He looks
Speaker 1: like the next Derrick Henry basically, and he does have
Speaker 1: bell coal potential. Only caught thirteen passes last year, but
Speaker 1: he did turn those thirteen catches into a hundred yards.
Speaker 1: That just tells me he's tough to bring down, whether running,
Speaker 1: running the ball, or catching the ball. Yeah, I love
Speaker 1: a J. Dillon and uh yeah, I think he's like
Speaker 1: I said, easily top five backs should have been in
Speaker 1: the top six. But oh well. The part about a J.
Speaker 1: Dillon from Boston College that I like is from a
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective, hundred percent chance he's getting the ball to stripe,
Speaker 1: so you will get touchdown carries for sure. You mentioned
Speaker 1: that he can catch. He's much more of a north
Speaker 1: south south runner like a lot of the heavier, bigger
Speaker 1: guys are. But he's not a disaster laterally, um, and
Speaker 1: there are some other knocks in him. He's he's you know,
Speaker 1: getting that body that much body mass up to speed
Speaker 1: can take him a little while, but ultimately, as a
Speaker 1: four five three forty showed, a J. Dylan can He's
Speaker 1: not slow by any means, and the balance is pretty good,
Speaker 1: the footwork is pretty good. It's you know, he's got
Speaker 1: the big, thick body that makes him a tough tackle.
Speaker 1: He can compress that body despite that size through smaller
Speaker 1: spaces and smaller running lanes. You know, Boston College had
Speaker 1: a good offensive line and they opened up some big
Speaker 1: holes for him. But it wasn't just him running through
Speaker 1: big lanes. But he can and I think the Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry comp is is similar that way. Yeah, when it
Speaker 1: comes to Dynasty Empire leagues, I don't think he's gonna
Speaker 1: top the cam Akers, the Swifts, the Dobbins of the toft.
Speaker 1: When it comes to redraft, Dylan could be the top
Speaker 1: rookie running back. I don't think he'd be the top.
Speaker 1: He won't be. He won't be any anywhere. He won't
Speaker 1: be at a tailor. It would take something remarkable. I think,
Speaker 1: not a lock. But there's a chance. There's a chance.
Speaker 1: Um A J. Dillon is going to be a fantasy factor,
Speaker 1: and I think sooner than later. Put him in your
Speaker 1: queue right now, Adam, I would take him over Zack
Speaker 1: Moss for sure. I would take him over J. K. Dobbins.
Speaker 1: I believe maybe cam Acres. I think he's in. I
Speaker 1: think he's a top five fantasy runner for this season.
Speaker 1: A J. Dillon from Boston College. Let's go to your
Speaker 1: next running back. I believe you've got Keyshawn Vaughan from
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt next Shawn Vaughn, who uh is already getting a
Speaker 1: knock from being getting knocked for being too old year senior.
Speaker 1: That's not, that's not. Let's talk about that for a second.
Speaker 1: With Keyshawn Vaughn, he started at Illinois and he couldn't
Speaker 1: get enough playing time. So then he goes to Vanderbilt,
Speaker 1: which is not exactly a football powerhouse. Couldn't beat out
Speaker 1: a guy named Ralph Webb there, and then after Webb left,
Speaker 1: he put together back to back thousand yards seasons the
Speaker 1: last two years. So that's a little bit of the
Speaker 1: drama that is surrounded Keishawn Vaughan, and that kind of
Speaker 1: worries me a little bit. I'll be honest. When when
Speaker 1: you can't beat out Ralph Webb for playing time at Vanderbilt,
Speaker 1: I wonder how you're going to do in the NFL. Yeah.
Speaker 1: On the flip side, I'll play a good cop here.
Speaker 1: Nine carries over a thousand yards average five point two
Speaker 1: yards per carry, nine rushing touchdowns. According to Pro Football Focus,
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt finished with the lowest run blocking grade in the
Speaker 1: NC double A wow. So there's that, but the fact
Speaker 1: that he wasn't a clear cut number one back on
Speaker 1: his own team, it's a little alarming. Uh yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not nearly as excited about Keyshn Vaughan as I am
Speaker 1: about A J. Dillon. To put it that way. Ran
Speaker 1: a four or five one in the forty. Uh. Pretty
Speaker 1: good speed for running back, a little faster than Dylan. Uh. Yep,
Speaker 1: he's got good size oh two five ten to fourteen.
Speaker 1: That's that's bellcal potential size two. So he's a easily
Speaker 1: inside the top ten. Of course our number eight running
Speaker 1: back here, but again, not nearly as exciting a J. Dillon. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think so either. Um, And to his credit,
Speaker 1: the Vanderbilt offensive lines awful and much like everything else
Speaker 1: in Vanderbilt football, not good. Good school, by the way,
Speaker 1: beautiful school, beautiful campus Vanderbilt, but lousy offensive line. He
Speaker 1: overcame that a little bit and um rarely got caught
Speaker 1: in the open field. He's pretty fast. Forty is not bad.
Speaker 1: And I think there's I just when I watched this guy,
Speaker 1: when I watched Keishawn Vaughan, Brian, I'm trying to find
Speaker 1: something that there's some element to his game that says
Speaker 1: success at the NFL level, and I just I couldn't
Speaker 1: find it. So I'm not I'm just not I'm not
Speaker 1: embracing Keishawn Vaughan yet, and I'm not ruling I'm not
Speaker 1: not ruling them out, but I'm not seeing it yet.
Speaker 1: Catches not bad to last year, so he's you know,
Speaker 1: that's been the thing that I found in almost every
Speaker 1: all of the you know, will have gone through eleven
Speaker 1: backs when we're done between today's show and last week's show,
Speaker 1: they can all catch. None of them are Christian McCaffrey,
Speaker 1: but none of them none of them are stone handed either,
Speaker 1: which is kind of nice. All of these guys have
Speaker 1: got room to expand upon the receiving skills that they
Speaker 1: showed in college, which I like. Um, I want to
Speaker 1: take a quick break here and come back, and I
Speaker 1: want to talk about the remaining three running backs, one
Speaker 1: of which well, one of which I'm really really fascinated by,
Speaker 1: and to others that I'm intrigued by. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: Joshua Kelly, Eno, Benjamin and la Michael p Ryan when
Speaker 1: we return. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly offseason edition, looking
Speaker 1: at rookies. Who thinks is gonna splash at the running
Speaker 1: back position. Who's gonna splash for fantasy owners in particular?
Speaker 1: Your next runner up is Joshua Kelly. Let's let's talk
Speaker 1: about the u c l A kid who ran behind
Speaker 1: a really bad U c l A offensive line and
Speaker 1: was able to be productive anyway. Josh Kelly U c
Speaker 1: l A five eleven to twelve, ran a four four
Speaker 1: nine forty for reference, Uh, Cam Akers ran a four
Speaker 1: four seven and DeAndre Swift ran at four or four eight.
Speaker 1: So he's right right with those guys when it comes
Speaker 1: to flat out speed, has good hands, can pass protect,
Speaker 1: so he can play all three downs as well, played
Speaker 1: really well in the Senior Bowl, had a hundred and
Speaker 1: five rushing yards, made a good case for himself there.
Speaker 1: And uh, Matt Waldman, who runs the Rookie scouting portfolio,
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for as well. I really praises
Speaker 1: Kelly for his diagnostic skills. Basically he's a good decision
Speaker 1: maker out there. And well, that's that's a big factor definitely,
Speaker 1: especially in the NFL. So, uh, last year at U
Speaker 1: c l A only average four point six yards per carry,
Speaker 1: did it have twelve touchdowns? Like you said? Not a
Speaker 1: great line for the Bruins. And uh, he can catch
Speaker 1: the ball too, So yeah, I'm a big fan of Kelly.
Speaker 1: I'm already kind of want to move him ahead of
Speaker 1: Keyshawn Vaughan. I do, yeah, let's do. Let's do that, alright, done, alright,
Speaker 1: we're officially making that move. Um. I like Kelly. Uh,
Speaker 1: I like that. He's a shifty north south runner with
Speaker 1: good footwork that gives defenders a lot of bad angles
Speaker 1: for tackles. And I think you know, these are the
Speaker 1: little things when you can just when your footwork can
Speaker 1: generate a a bit of a cut or a stutter
Speaker 1: step that gives a defender a bad tackle. And then
Speaker 1: you're big enough, like he is at five eleven to twelve,
Speaker 1: you're big enough to make that tackle not be precise.
Speaker 1: Now you've just now you've broken tackle. And then here
Speaker 1: comes the Jets because he's fast in the open field.
Speaker 1: You mentioned the four four nine for dr dash time
Speaker 1: um at makes him for a guy his size and
Speaker 1: he's not gigantic, but he's big. Um, there are there's
Speaker 1: just there aren't a lot of there's not a lot
Speaker 1: of weaknesses for him, and he's gonna break a bunch
Speaker 1: of tackles. Um, I thought, I think he could. I
Speaker 1: don't think he's elusive, but I do think he's a
Speaker 1: tough tackle that makes sense upright running style, which can
Speaker 1: be good and bad some you know, some players can
Speaker 1: handle that upright running style. For other players, it gives
Speaker 1: defenders a big target to hit on the body. Joshua Kelly,
Speaker 1: I think I think there's again right placement for a
Speaker 1: team that um that and he can be a three
Speaker 1: down back, which like so many of the backs in
Speaker 1: this draft, can be read down backs. UM. I think
Speaker 1: there's a lot to there's a lot to like in
Speaker 1: Kelley and somebody that's gonna go into Ultimately, in the
Speaker 1: right fit, he could be Tampa Bays starting running back
Speaker 1: week one. And for what it's worth, I hear he
Speaker 1: gets praised for his character and stuff like that, so
Speaker 1: that hopefully you won't get any did not plays because
Speaker 1: suspensions or anything like that is there. And I don't
Speaker 1: think there's a bad character guy that I've run into
Speaker 1: in this draft really so there always has been in
Speaker 1: the past, even though I can't pinpoint one, but there's
Speaker 1: always like well, like Randy Moss was like one of
Speaker 1: the most famous bad character guys does does Briant too?
Speaker 1: He fell pretty far in the draft. These are wide receivers,
Speaker 1: of course, but it's like Josh Kelly, let's go to
Speaker 1: the next running back. It will stay in the pack twelve.
Speaker 1: And Uh, I really like this guy, you know, Benjamin
Speaker 1: from Arizona State. I love him in Dynasty. He's only
Speaker 1: twenty years old, doesn't turn twenty one until April five nine.
Speaker 1: Two oh seven. I know must have been not the
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl because he's not a senior. But he waited
Speaker 1: in it like one a couple of weeks before the
Speaker 1: combine had everyone freaking out like, oh, he's not gonna
Speaker 1: last in the NFL. Waiting at two oh seven. That
Speaker 1: was good to see. And outside of DeAndre Swift, I
Speaker 1: think he's the best past catching back in this class.
Speaker 1: I'm calling for Swift an immediate PPR Impactevertino Lands Uh
Speaker 1: come draft day. Uh ran a four or five seven
Speaker 1: in the forty which is kind of map but uh
Speaker 1: mat I mean, but he impressed with his vertical jump
Speaker 1: and three cone time. Those events highlight athleticist athleticism, and uh,
Speaker 1: you had to put a lot of stock into those
Speaker 1: for running backs and in you know, rush for over
Speaker 1: sixt dred yards and had five and a half yards
Speaker 1: per carry. But last year Arizona State like lost all
Speaker 1: their players through graduation basically, and you know, they had
Speaker 1: a freshman quarterback, a very green offensive line, and you know,
Speaker 1: really struggled for for those reasons. But it wasn't his fault.
Speaker 1: And um, he's the guy I really like, and especially
Speaker 1: in PPR, I think it will be an immediate factor
Speaker 1: fantasy football. Edo Benjamin is one of the best tackle
Speaker 1: break is in this draft. And when I was talking
Speaker 1: earlier about trying to find I couldn't find something that
Speaker 1: I thought was really special about Keyshawn Vaughan at the
Speaker 1: NFL level, I Kennedy. No, you know, Benjamin, I can
Speaker 1: say to myself, this guy's tackle breaking ability is next
Speaker 1: level stuff. And I think that's the case. The elusiveness
Speaker 1: that the cutbacks that he makes, I love that part
Speaker 1: of his game. Some really nice footwork of time again
Speaker 1: that makes them a tough tackle. Those are things that
Speaker 1: I think we really translate for him. And you know,
Speaker 1: Benjamin is um is somebody that's got I think next
Speaker 1: level skills. He can catch, he can be a three
Speaker 1: down back. I love the burst that he's got um.
Speaker 1: And you know, I've seen some people not that the
Speaker 1: Arizona States spread offense might not translate for his skills
Speaker 1: in the NFL, But I I think I think running
Speaker 1: back so instinctive. If you can break tackles in the
Speaker 1: open field in college the way he can, I think
Speaker 1: most of that translates. I am showing a little bit
Speaker 1: of favoritism towards, you know, because he was my very
Speaker 1: first and only Devy player that I did a Devvy
Speaker 1: Dynasty league. You did okay? In the draft was last
Speaker 1: summer for those who don't know. In debute leagues you
Speaker 1: can draft college players. Wait on him from high school school.
Speaker 1: You didn't go that hardcore, but I drafted, you know.
Speaker 1: So he's my very first debut player. So all right,
Speaker 1: I'm pulling for him. I was wondering why you were
Speaker 1: talking up you know, Benjamin, like in December or on
Speaker 1: the office. Why do we care about him yet? But
Speaker 1: that explains it, you know, Benjamin Arizona State. I mean,
Speaker 1: you think of Arizona State and you think of alcohol poisoning.
Speaker 1: You don't really think of like a great football heritage here.
Speaker 1: But he might be the one that that breaks the mold.
Speaker 1: Did Jake Plumber go to y Yeah? Was there anybody else?
Speaker 1: I can't think of anybody else. I'm almost positive Jake
Speaker 1: Plumber went to Arizona State. I love Jake Plumber. I
Speaker 1: thought he was going to be a Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: caliber quarterback when he was in college. And then he
Speaker 1: went to the Cardinals, right, and it didn't do much.
Speaker 1: And then he went to the Broncos, and I think
Speaker 1: he played better for the Broncos and played for a while, right.
Speaker 1: I remember it Madden O for Jake Plumber and Clinton Portist.
Speaker 1: You can't stop me back in those days. I think
Speaker 1: Jake Plumer is like he's he's up in like Oregon
Speaker 1: getting high every day. But I think he's like a
Speaker 1: really good disc golfer. He's in one. He's like professional
Speaker 1: disc golfer right now, professional off sport like something. Are
Speaker 1: you suggesting there's a there is a crossover between people
Speaker 1: who like to get high and people who play disc golf?
Speaker 1: Is that way? Is that the controversial stand that you're
Speaker 1: taking right now? A bit of correlation there? Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: very curious about Jake Plumber, but I'll look it up,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, look it up now. I'm kind
Speaker 1: of curious. And meanwhile, I'll give the introduction to La
Speaker 1: Michael p Rhyan. Yes, this is the same family that
Speaker 1: generated Somaj p Ryan. And if you're the kind of
Speaker 1: parent that will name your child Somaj, then you're probably
Speaker 1: the kind of parent that will spell La Michael as
Speaker 1: L a apostrophe capital M. I see a L. There's
Speaker 1: nothing about that that really feels like La Michael. And
Speaker 1: you're trying too hard, but you're the same brain power
Speaker 1: that that put gave us Somaj. So okay, at least
Speaker 1: I can at least you can pronounce it. La Michael
Speaker 1: is pretty easy when you hear it. It's just you.
Speaker 1: When you see it, you're like, whoa L m P
Speaker 1: l m P. I kind of like that, Uh he
Speaker 1: went to Florida. Um. I think he's got some special
Speaker 1: traits too. I think right now I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: he's gonna a better career than Somaj did, which isn't
Speaker 1: saying much, I realize, but I think La Michael looks
Speaker 1: like a better play to me player to me. I
Speaker 1: saw I see a guy with who played fast, but
Speaker 1: he only ran a four six two at the combine,
Speaker 1: I'm like four. I'm looking at him, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: there's nothing about his tape game tape that says four
Speaker 1: six two. No, he's way more of a downhill runner
Speaker 1: and that that speaks to his forty times. He's like
Speaker 1: a one cut and go kind of guy. He's not
Speaker 1: super super fast, super elusive, but uh and you may
Speaker 1: you mentioned you one to Florida. They also had an
Speaker 1: awful offensive line last year, which did him no favors.
Speaker 1: He had forty catches too, so you gotta like pin
Speaker 1: in a PPR format. Um. Yeah, not a ton to
Speaker 1: say about him. He's like a lot of poor Man's
Speaker 1: Eno Benjamin, but he's right ball park with him. To me,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I mean, you know, I I
Speaker 1: saw stuff. I I like that he was a strong
Speaker 1: runner um, although they tended to not use them on
Speaker 1: inside runs a lot. But I like that about the
Speaker 1: Michael p. Ryan Um. He's north south. He does not
Speaker 1: have a ton of lateral speed, which worries me a
Speaker 1: little bit. Mostly runs at one speed, but it's pretty
Speaker 1: fast and you'll see him just breaking away from defenders.
Speaker 1: And again when you when you watch him run, he
Speaker 1: runs fast. It just I just doesn't see it didn't
Speaker 1: translate at the combine. Nimble at the first level, you'll
Speaker 1: see make a lot of moves at the line of
Speaker 1: scrimmage to give himself some extra space. And then he's
Speaker 1: got this zippiness to him, and the Michael preyn looks
Speaker 1: like he's often running, and oftentimes he is. So there
Speaker 1: were a lot of things that I liked about p Ryan,
Speaker 1: and I think I think he can translate to the
Speaker 1: next level. I'm not as confident about him. Is like
Speaker 1: a j Dillon and Eno Benjamin who I think looked,
Speaker 1: you know, to me stronger. Joshua Kelly too, But I
Speaker 1: think there's a spot for the Michael p Ryan to
Speaker 1: help fantasy owners at some point down the road. Agreed
Speaker 1: one more right, I can't find what I'm looking for
Speaker 1: on Jake Plumber. I'm bummed. Just I just like to
Speaker 1: know what the career trajectory was. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: Arizona for how long? Denver? How long? Um I should
Speaker 1: have had my laptop open. I didn't. By Arizona Arizona
Speaker 1: six years and then four with Denver and he retired
Speaker 1: at thirty two. He was young. He just didn't want
Speaker 1: to play anymore really from what I recall, and I
Speaker 1: think you might be right about that. Let's see if
Speaker 1: a little Jake Locker to him, maybe we're just the
Speaker 1: love of the game, wasn't there. Yeah, he only had
Speaker 1: went for over twenty passing touchdowns once. That's it. I mean,
Speaker 1: even though there wasn't even though the game was not
Speaker 1: the same then it was there by the way it was,
Speaker 1: it was Arizona State, right, We weren't totally win totally
Speaker 1: whiff on that did wes Pro Football Reference really not
Speaker 1: tell you where they went to college? Now, it's in there.
Speaker 1: You might have to hit the more bio right under there.
Speaker 1: It's got to be in there. Plumber Zona State, Okay,
Speaker 1: good plumber You know he always had he had kid
Speaker 1: good wheels, and fantast was kept hoping he was going
Speaker 1: to ultimately style them with a lot of rushing touchdowns
Speaker 1: and rushing yards. But that never happened either. Really, he
Speaker 1: was more just a scrambler. He was, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: not calling him Fran Tarkington, but he was a scrambling
Speaker 1: quarterback who never really generated a bunch of like rushing
Speaker 1: notable rushing yards. In fact, I'm gonna I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: and lib and say that the most rushing touchdowns he
Speaker 1: had in a season, if you can look there would
Speaker 1: his season high for Jake Plumber and rushing touchdowns three two.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be two or three in anyone given season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: four and four to zero, zero to three, one to one.
Speaker 1: Never never over three yards either. They just that part
Speaker 1: never really came together. But you know, if you were
Speaker 1: drafted today in the U, in the Lamar Jackson era,
Speaker 1: Jake Plumber, they probably be running him like crazy. Why not.
Speaker 1: I just can't believe how much you' talking about Jake Plumber.
Speaker 1: Who saw it coming? Yeah, you didn't know. Crazy things
Speaker 1: happened when you're quarantined. It's also the off season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. We're quarantined at a house. So the quarantine League.
Speaker 1: I told you about this, right, Yeah, tell me about
Speaker 1: the quarantine League. It's you know, it's ever evolving and
Speaker 1: just thought of it like the other day. But quarantine league.
Speaker 1: So we're playing each other right in fancy football standard head,
Speaker 1: You and I are in this in the league, and
Speaker 1: I've tried to figure well, the main premise is before kickoff,
Speaker 1: I basically quarantine one of your players saying no, you're
Speaker 1: you're starting him, but you get zero points, essentially benching
Speaker 1: him and you can't replace him. But you gotta have
Speaker 1: a time window before kickoff, right, Maybe you say like
Speaker 1: or Thursday or no. I could see your lineup and
Speaker 1: I rank your players one, two, three, the top five.
Speaker 1: Say yes, if you happen to bench your top ranked player,
Speaker 1: then my second ranked player, my second ranked guy for
Speaker 1: you would be quarantined. But that's basically the premise you
Speaker 1: take away take away a player, the player, probably a
Speaker 1: best player. Here's the quarantine version I would want, and
Speaker 1: you would need to have a back end administrative system
Speaker 1: to run it this way. But I would want to
Speaker 1: secretly infect one player in the league. He will be
Speaker 1: a starter. So it's week one and there's one player
Speaker 1: who's infected as and nobody knows who that is yet
Speaker 1: you play with through week one and whoever that infected
Speaker 1: player played against that team gains an infected player. They
Speaker 1: don't know who that is. Then the so this thing
Speaker 1: will spread. So all these players spread. But event so
Speaker 1: you've got to know who the players are. So two
Speaker 1: weeks after you get it, the incubation period it is
Speaker 1: over and tada. This guy is now done. He's got
Speaker 1: the coronavirus and he's out. You can start trying to
Speaker 1: piece people. We can start trying to piece together all
Speaker 1: how this thing is moved and who the players are
Speaker 1: that are affected. But you wouldn't know for sure because
Speaker 1: the incubation period means you're dark for two weeks. I
Speaker 1: love it. You can call it pant pantas, pandemic fantasy
Speaker 1: fantasy football. Yeah, that sounds like pandasan I can't have
Speaker 1: fantasy pandas. That's that's weird. Pandas are pandas the ones
Speaker 1: that have the STDs. I don't know. That's Koalas. It's
Speaker 1: Kuala Kualas have got like a nine eight percent std rate.
Speaker 1: You didn't know that. Arizona State students, I think too.
Speaker 1: Bringing back the Arizona State. There you go. And Jake Plumber.
Speaker 1: We haven't Jake Plumber herpies. That's what work. That's what
Speaker 1: we're going with right now. All right, thank you for listening.
Speaker 1: You made it to the end because well more actually,
Speaker 1: oh you another player. Anthony McFarland, really, Anthony McFarland. All right,
Speaker 1: I'll be fast Maryland five eight two oh eight have
Speaker 1: the fourth for fourth fastest forty time among running backs
Speaker 1: at four point four or four a lot of four
Speaker 1: is there? Uh faster than Swift and acres. Uh. I'm
Speaker 1: kind of excited about McFarland. He didn't play well last year,
Speaker 1: but he was battling a high ankle spring is year
Speaker 1: before freshman. Uh is redshirt freshman year average seven point
Speaker 1: nine yards per carry, undred thirty one carries for uh
Speaker 1: thousand thirty four yards. So Anthony McFarland borderline top ten.
Speaker 1: It's another guy you want to keep your eye. Come
Speaker 1: certainly fast. How big is he? Uh? Five eight to
Speaker 1: oh eight? So I like the little compact that is
Speaker 1: compact but not slight of a build. He's not Terry Cohen,
Speaker 1: He's yeah, he's not Maurice Jones Drew either, but not
Speaker 1: not that much of a bolling. But that's Clyde Edwards Hilaire, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's um. I'm just I'm all over the board on
Speaker 1: him because I love the production, I love the player.
Speaker 1: The four six time on Hilaire rattled me a little bit, um,
Speaker 1: probably more than it should. But everything you see on tape,
Speaker 1: it just he just looks like a baller guy just
Speaker 1: plays and I like that part of his game. And
Speaker 1: the Maurice Jones Drew comparison I think is pretty fair
Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, all right, thanks, thanks Brian. This has
Speaker 1: been a ton of fun times. Thank you for listening
Speaker 1: as well, and we'll be back next week. I think
Speaker 1: we're gonna start breaking out other positions, rookies at other positions,
Speaker 1: wide receivers, quarterbacks. Is will really start orienting ourselves towards
Speaker 1: the draft um and so we'll expect us some of
Speaker 1: that next week. For those of you that to choose
