1 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: What is Up? Welcome to another edition of the NFL 2 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Show, presented by Caesar's Rewards, Me and your 3 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: man MG Marcus Grant, masking and socially distancing when and 4 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: where necessary, and we have football like substance. It's been 5 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: a while since we've had that. But guys are putting 6 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: on the pads. You're seeing reports on Twitter of different plays. 7 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: I mean, we're all going gaga over the fact that 8 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: Tom Brady completed a past to Rob Grunt Cowse. Either 9 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: happened millions of other times before. But this is where 10 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,599 Speaker 1: we are in twenty with our football existence. So as 11 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: we get a little bit closer to the start of 12 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 1: the season, I want to do some positional breakdowns over 13 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks. We will go through quarterback, 14 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: running back, wide receiver, tight end. Who knows, maybe if 15 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: I'm feeling frisky, will even do a kicker in defense show, 16 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: but that is to be determined. So I've gotta guess 17 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: who's gonna come and join me to talk about it. 18 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: Will introduce her in just a bit, But first I 19 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: want to say, has you want to say hello? I 20 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: can speak. Want to say hello to my favorite producers 21 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: and you're Edward L. Murphy Esquire Murph. What's new. Uh, 22 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: we're a bit of a heat wave here, and my 23 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: air conditioning in my apartment picked a really good time 24 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: to break. Um. So it's approaching eighty five degrees. I 25 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: am sweating even though we are podcasting. So this to 26 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: me is kind of like a workout in a sense, 27 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: so which I'm fine with, but this is very uncomfortable 28 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: for me today. Yeah, this is that weird time of 29 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: year in California, southern California, especially where it gets so 30 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: hot that all the public utilities tell you to stop 31 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: running your air conditioning because that makes sense. Uh So 32 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: in the backwards way, you're sort of a hero right now. Yeah. Yeah, 33 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: it broke like two days before those announcements are made. Um, 34 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: and we're on the leventh floor, a lot of a 35 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: lot of windows, a lot of direct sunlight. It is uh, 36 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: it's boiling in here right now.

It's so funny to hear that Eddie 46 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: is sweating. I'm recently engaged in my fiance and I 47 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: are playing the battle with the air conditioner and I 48 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: am like completely iced out. I have a blanket on 49 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 1: my lap. I feel like we're right back at the 50 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: NFL Network on stage five where it is freezing cold. 51 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: Um So, Eddie, if you ever need to borrow any air, 52 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: you can come on over here and we can socially 53 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: distant swap places and you can have my place.

Before we dive into 59 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: the fantasy stuff, you have also been doing a snapchat show. Correct, 60 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: let's kind of what that's all about. And if I'm 61 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: not mistaken, it got picked up. It's going to be continuing. Yes, yes, yes, 62 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: so very exciting news. Um, you know, the country has 63 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: kind of taken a different shape, right We're in the 64 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: middle of a pandemic, but we're also in the middle 65 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: of kind of a rebirth of recognizing that systemic racism 66 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: is a thing and it's been a thing for centuries, 67 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: and as the NFL, we kind of need to we 68 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: need to approach that and we need to talk about 69 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: it because we are the largest sports league in the world, 70 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: and our players have voices and they have opinions, and 71 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: we need to make sure that we're amplifying them. So 72 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: we launched a show on Snapchat called Real Talk with 73 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: the NFL, which I am hosting, and it's amazing. It 74 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: comes out every single Wednesday on Snapchat, and it was 75 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: originally just going to be a five weeks little mini series, 76 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: but we've seen so much amazing traction and so many 77 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: people recepted to the content that we're doing that we're 78 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: going to continue it throughout the seasons. We have all 79 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: new episode launching tomorrow where I sat down with Sequete 80 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: Clark and she is the mother of Stefan Clark who 81 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: he was tragically killed by Sacramento police officers back in 82 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: eighteen when they mistook his cell phone for a gun. 83 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: So tomorrow's episode is is a little heavy, but it's 84 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: also really good that we're amplifying these stories. We're giving perspective, 85 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: and we're just educating the generation of NFL fans on 86 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: what happens in America, what our places as a league 87 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: in all of this. Uh, and hopefully people learned something 88 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: and they realize that black lives matter. Very cool. Well, 89 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: congratulations on getting picked up to thank you, I know, 90 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: very exciting. I'm like all good things in twenty Who 91 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: knew that this year could could prove anything possible? You are, Yeah, 92 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: you've been living your best life. I know. It's like 93 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: I got the Snapchat show, Fantasy Football is back, I 94 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: got engaged. It's like, you know, the Chiefs won a 95 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. It's like, this may be my year, this 96 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: might be your year. Who knew? Um, let's not let's 97 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: not a little bit of news right now. There are 98 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: a few headlines that that have hit in the last 99 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: few days. We can sort of dive into a little bit. Uh. 100 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson apparently has told Miles Sanders in Philadelphia that quote, 101 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: you're the guy this season and like, give me there 102 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: are a lot of people I might be talking about myself. 103 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: There's no one, there's no way to really know this 104 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: um that we're sort of concerned that the Eagles were 105 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: going to find someone to kind of compliment Miles Sanders 106 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: and not make him, uh the lead back. But it 107 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: seems like Doug Peterson is all in with Miles Sanders. 108 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: He's already sort of had his own hype train. Now 109 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: hearing this news, would you be willing to take a 110 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: first round shot at Miles Sanders? You know, Miles Sanders. 111 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: I think at the end of last season, a lot 112 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: of people like, is this a fluke? Because he ended 113 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: as a top three running back. Now, I think if 114 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: you're playing in an eight or a tin team league, 115 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: that's when it gets a little murky on if you 116 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: want to take him in the first round. But I 117 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: do think that he's someone who's going to have a 118 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: stellar year. You know, for the coach to go out 119 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: and say you are my guy, there's not gonna be 120 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: other people, you know, splitting as many reps with you, 121 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: I think I think that means good things. Now, my 122 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: fiance is in a sixteen team PPR league, so you know, 123 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: if I look at his draft as opposed to mine, 124 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: when I play, you know, alongside nine other people in 125 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: a tin team league, that's where I think for him, 126 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: Miles Sanders could be a first round contender. But I 127 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: do think my el standards is going to have a 128 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: breakout season and I would feel comfortable taking him in 129 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: the early second round. Yeah, I think that's sort of 130 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: the consensus. But you know, when when you hear news 131 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: like this, it is is literally shoveling coal onto the 132 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: hype train engine. So, um, sixteen teamer, no doubt he's 133 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: going to be a first round guy. Twelve teamer, I agree. 134 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit borderline at that point, 135 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: right exactly. But I don't know. I mean, as long 136 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: as they don't have they don't have Nelson agholor you know, 137 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: dropping babies and passes this year, you know things are 138 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: are looking up for the Eagles. I hope, I hope, 139 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: I pray. That's why I have Carson Wentz is one 140 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: of my potential sleeper quarterbacks this year. Just just keep 141 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: everyone healthy, please please, yes, and no good vibes, good vibes. 142 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: We're sending them all good vibes. So apparently it was 143 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: National tight End Day last week. I don't know if 144 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: this is a real thing, but I I don't doubt 145 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: it because Twitter pops up a hashtag National blank Day 146 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: every single day, Like I feel like there's like five 147 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: National hot dog Days and three National ice cream Days. 148 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: Would have you, But apparently it was National tight end 149 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: Day last week. Uh. If it wasn't official, it was 150 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: certainly unofficial. The Niners give George kill a huge contract, 151 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: five years, seventy five million dollars extension there to to 152 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: keep him with the forty Niners. Then not too long 153 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: after that, the Chiefs go and they give a four year, 154 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: fifty seven million dollar extension to Travis Kelsey to make 155 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: sure that he is locked up in Kansas City for 156 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: the next few years to come. So the question is, 157 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: and I look, I know who I'm asking. So I'm 158 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: asking you. Your initials are casey. Uh, you cheer for 159 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. So I'm asking you to give me this 160 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: answer with your head and not your heart in a 161 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: fantasy battle of George Kittle versus Travis Kelsey. Well, I 162 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: as you saying this, you're an Iowa girl. You went, 163 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, it's like whatever, whatever I choose, 164 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: I feel like I have some allegiance to one or 165 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: the other then Kittle or Kelsey. This makes it even, 166 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: This makes it fair. You know, it wasn't a coincidence 167 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,239 Speaker 1: since I knew that we were going to chat about 168 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: this that I did rep a little you know, the side, 169 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: a little casey action. But for fantasy terms this year. 170 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: You know, it kind of pains me to say this, 171 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: but then again it doesn't because I love George. We 172 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: went to school together. I'm gonna take George Kittle over 173 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey this year. Now, if you look at the 174 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: Chief's offense, the Chiefs are loaded like it is. It 175 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: is scary how good the Kansas City Chiefs offense looks, right, 176 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: especially when you get Clyde Edwards Hilaire in there, and 177 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: and you have a half billion dollar worth quarterback in 178 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. I think the onus is on him to 179 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: kind of perform and be like I earned that money. 180 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it now. George Kittle, there is no 181 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: doubt that he is probably one of the best players 182 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: on the San Francisco forty Niners right now. Deebo Samuel's 183 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: that's someone that people said oh, maybe he's gonna, you know, 184 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: get into into Georgia's uh, you know, targets. But I 185 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: really do think that George Kittle is going to have 186 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: another breakout season and he is going to be the 187 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: top fantasy tight end now, you know, back in college 188 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: at Iowa, and this is probably why his draft stock 189 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: fell when he was in college, as he was kind 190 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: of injury prone and he had a lot of ankle 191 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: issues at Iowa. I think that if he stays healthy 192 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: and he plays throughout the entire season, he can be 193 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: a league winner. So George, I love you if you 194 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: see this. I took you over Travis Kelsey and my 195 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: allegiance is with the Iowa Hawkeyes. Right now, you and 196 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: I are of one mind about this because I have 197 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: been sort of preaching for a while that that I 198 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: think this is the year George Kittle takes over as 199 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: the number one tight end in fantasy and all signs 200 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: just point to that being the case. When you mentioned 201 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel, right, I mean, they're hoping, they're hopeful that 202 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: maybe he's ready at the start of the season, but 203 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: there's no guarantee there. They drafted Brandon I got Arizona 204 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: State he had offseason surgery, so he's still working his 205 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: way back. And then the unfortunate word that it looks 206 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: like Jalen Heard may have torn an a c L 207 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 1: had a very serious injury at practice earlier in the week, 208 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: and they're waiting for results, but it looks like he 209 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: may be lost for the season. There are no consistent 210 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: receiving threats in this offense, and so I think it's 211 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: gonna be a situation where they have to lean on 212 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 1: George Kittle, especially early in the year. I think that's 213 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: gonna end up being a big deal, uh, obviously for him, 214 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: for fantasy, for the forty niners, Like, I think I 215 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: saw something they're talking about maybe using Jerick McKinnon as 216 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: a deep receiving threat, which sort of tells you where 217 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 1: they are their hand. Well, another thing is, you know, 218 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: and I never played football, and you know, I kind 219 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: of just make guesses on this, But earlier you talked 220 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: about Tom Brady threw paths to Gronk and everyone the 221 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: world went crazy. The football world went crazy. You know, 222 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: when quarterbacks have these close relationships with these players, they 223 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: want to see their other guys succeed. You know, if 224 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: you pay any attention to Twitter. George Kittle and Jimmy 225 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: G are going back and forth constantly resting each other 226 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: and making fun of each other like they are friends, 227 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 1: and they have such a trust in one another that 228 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: I think Jimmy G knows that if he wants to 229 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: get to the ball to someone reliable on the team 230 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: and they want to score, that guy is George Kittles 231 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: for fantasy means that means very good things, especially in 232 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 1: a tight end market that can be pretty saturated and 233 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: not so great. Yeah. Absolutely, Like I still believe that 234 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: you have one of two routes when you're drafting tight end. 235 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: Either you go early and you get a Kelsey, a Kiddle, 236 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 1: maybe a Mark Andrews, or you wait late and try 237 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: to get one of those you know, myriad upside guys 238 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: that we have been hyping all off season long. So, uh, 239 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 1: if contract, if contract extensions mean anything, George Kittle should 240 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: be moving up your your draft board if he wasn't 241 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: already moved up already. UM. A great story in Washington. 242 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: Alex Smith is off the pup list. This is a 243 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: guy who had a horrific leg injury just a couple 244 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: of years ago and there was serious doubt as to 245 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: whether he was going to play football ever again. He 246 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: continued to work, He continued to rehab. He stayed positive 247 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: that the team in Washington kept their belief in him 248 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: as well. And here we are. He is back at practice. 249 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: In fact, this morning, before we started recording this podcast, 250 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: I saw on Twitter video of Alex Smith taking dropbacks 251 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: alongside Dwayne Haskins and looking, you know, as healthy as 252 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: you can remember him being. So. From a football standpoint 253 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: and a life standpoint, give me this is a great story. 254 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: But for fantasy, let's remember a couple of years ago 255 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: when he got hurt. Uh. He was the QB twenty three, 256 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: He was averaging about thirteen fantasy points per game. He 257 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: was on a team that didn't have a ton of 258 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: weapons around him, and he comes back to sort of 259 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 1: the same I mean, besides Terry McLaurin, there's not much there. 260 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: So while we love the story in real football, are 261 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: we are we drumming up any interest on the fantasy 262 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: side of it. You know, I don't think Alex Smith 263 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: is going to be a guy that a lot of 264 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: people are going to claim on an active roster spot 265 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: in fantasy this season. I think, like you said, A 266 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: lot of us are rooting for him, right it was 267 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: a gruesome injury, you know, one that could have easily 268 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: ended his career. And to see him persevere and to 269 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: see this incredible comeback story in this journey, that's amazing. 270 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: And as football fans, we root for him, we root 271 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: for that. But as fantasy you know, I don't know 272 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: if he's our guy. I think he's someone who you know, 273 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: if there's a bye week and he's starting and he 274 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: starts shining, then that's someone that you can grab, you know, 275 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: on a weaver. But I don't think I'm gonna go 276 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: out and automatically draft Alex Smith. You know, there's still 277 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 1: kind of a little bit of question is is he 278 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: going to start over Dwayne Haskins? What is that look 279 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: like right there? You know, the Washington football team is 280 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: completely redoing their culture and what their strategy is as 281 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: a team, So we have to be cognizant of that 282 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: and not you know, automatically going with the assumption that 283 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: Alex Smith is going to start again after such a 284 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: gruesome injury. So again, I'm rooting for him. I'm happy 285 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: for him. He used to be a Kansas City chief 286 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: kids his kids went to the school that I went 287 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: to in Kansas City. Uh, So you know, I'm always 288 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: going to be happy for him, but I don't think 289 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to take him in fantasy football. Yeah, he's 290 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: part of that long San Francisco to Kansas City pipeline 291 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks. It is, it's like they shuffle back and 292 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: forth between Alex Smith, Joe Montanas, Steve Bono. I think 293 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: Steve the Berg. Uh he might have gone from Casey 294 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: to San Francisco. But either way, apparently there's like a 295 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: shuttle that I don't know about. This is perfect. It's 296 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: both of our teams. It's like they knew that they 297 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: knew that we would enjoy that. Yeah, it's something something 298 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: to talk about. But but I do think you're right. 299 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: I think one the question is what happens in this 300 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: competition between he and Dwayne Haskin, whether or not they 301 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 1: stay with a young guy or if they go back 302 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: to Alex Smith. And then on top of it, what 303 00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: it looks like, you know, a year and a half, 304 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: two years removed, with a team that still is searching 305 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: for some offensive pieces. They got Terry McLaurin. Beyond that, 306 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,599 Speaker 1: there's a lot of question Marks, So I do. I 307 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: wish Alex Smith the best. It's exciting to see him 308 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: back out there, but I think for our selfish fantasy purposes, 309 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm probably going to take a pass. In speaking of quarterbacks, 310 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: it's a perfect segue to get into our quarterback preview. 311 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: We taught some some interesting questions about the quarterback position, 312 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: which as always is one of the deeper positions in 313 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: fantasy football. So, Jimmy, I my first question to you 314 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: will be do you have a particular strategy when it 315 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: comes to drafting quarterbacks? You know, I don't, and that's 316 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: probably why I have not won fantasy the last few seasons. 317 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: I am not as much of an expert from you, 318 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: but I do learn from you and rank on the daily. Uh, 319 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: you know I The reason why I think I'm not 320 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: I'm learning Fantasy more and more is that I play 321 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: with my heart and sometimes not my head. So last season, 322 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: you know, the hype train was all around Patrick Mahomes. 323 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: I'm a Kansas City Chiefs fans, Mahomes, we all love him. 324 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: So I kind of said yolo and one of my 325 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: leagues and took him as my first overall pick. Obviously, 326 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: not the best idea and I learned from that mistake, 327 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: So I'm growing, I am evolving as a football fan. 328 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: But I do think that they are are a host 329 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks this season that are pretty loaded. So I 330 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: think if you want to target a guy in the 331 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: fourth or fifth round, dependent on how big your league is, 332 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: you're going to find somebody who's going to get you 333 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: fantasy points on the board. Right. We always look at 334 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: the Patrick Mahomes and the Lamar Jackson's, but there are 335 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: plenty of other quarterbacks that are on rosters that you 336 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: know have some pretty darn good ADP standing. So I 337 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: don't think we need to rush. I will not be 338 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: brushing into a first round quarterback pick again this season. 339 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: That was a mistake, but you know, no mistakes when 340 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: you love Patrick Mahomes. Okay, So then, I mean I 341 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: know the answer to this question, but I'm going to 342 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: ask it anyway, between between Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson, 343 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: who is your QB one, Who's the guy that you 344 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: think is going to have the best fantasy season? I mean, 345 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: you already know the answer if I just I don't ask. 346 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: What if I I just switched up on you and said, 347 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: Lamar um no, anybody who knows me, obviously it's Patrick Mahomes. 348 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: But this isn't just something that I'm saying because of 349 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: my allegiance in my day one, you know, kind of 350 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: loving the Kansas City Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes just signed a 351 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: half billion dollar contract. I think if money talks at all, 352 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: he is going to go out there and he is 353 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: going to perform his tail off for the Kansas City Chiefs. 354 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: They're on a high. They just won the Super Bowl 355 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: and if you look at his offense, it is mind boggling. 356 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: It is so good. Like I want every single part 357 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: of the Kansas City Chiefs offense this season, especially in 358 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: fantasy football. Now, you know, I know there's questions around 359 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes and what that looks like 360 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: because Lamar rushed for so many yards last season and 361 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: that for a lot of people won them fantasy championships. 362 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: But Lamar went on record to say he's not going 363 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: to be running as much this upcoming season. And on 364 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: the contrary, Patrick Mahomes, if you look at those last 365 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: season late season excuse me, playoff games against the Texans 366 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: and the Titans, he rushed for over a hundred yards 367 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: he's getting so incredibly confident in himself and how he 368 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: can move, even be elusive in the pocket and escape. 369 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: I do think we're going to see him rushing the 370 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: ball more. And on top of that, he has all 371 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: the offensive weapons he needs. He is going to be 372 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: throwing dime after dime after dime. So because of that, 373 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is my guy, and I do think he 374 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: is going to be the number one overall fantasy quarterback 375 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: this season, mark my words. I do think you had 376 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: an interesting point there too, and it was something that 377 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: I mentioned kind of early in the off season and 378 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: I haven't actually thought about it in a while, but 379 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: it is that fact that, as you mentioned, he was 380 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: running a lot more late in the season and in 381 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: the postseason. We have all sort of glommed onto quarterbacks 382 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,479 Speaker 1: who can run with the football, obviously understanding that you know, 383 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: nobody is Lamar Jackson right. You're not gonna get quarterbacks 384 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: running for a thousand yards on the reg but we 385 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: do want those guys who get us those hidden yards, 386 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: who were able to make plays with their legs, and yes, 387 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: Mahomes are going to there's a good chance he could 388 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: throw for five thousand yards again. This year. That's not 389 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: out of the realm of possibility. But in those situations 390 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: where things break down and everybody is focused on the 391 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: wide receivers or the running backs, Uh, if he can 392 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: get out of the pocket and pick up those those 393 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: sneaky yards. I mean, look, the one of the gurus 394 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: of this, Rich Rebar, coined the term the cheat code 395 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,719 Speaker 1: right quarterbacks who can run. If he if he adds 396 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 1: that to his game watch out, then then he is 397 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: hands down. I think that the quarterback one. Um. So 398 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: you mentioned that you spent your first round pick on 399 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,479 Speaker 1: him last year, but you say you are evolving, So 400 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: this is a chance to prove your evolution. What would 401 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: be the earliest now that you would take my homes 402 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,959 Speaker 1: knowing knowing the mistakes you've made in the past, and 403 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: knowing the mistakes I made in the past. You know, 404 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: I I really think either a late third or early fourth, 405 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: because I really do have a lot of trust in 406 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: the quarterback position. I think if I could get my 407 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 1: homes at that position and him and Lamar are not 408 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: off the board, I would do it. But if I 409 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: can get those two guys, I'm gonna wait a little 410 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: bit longer and go in the in the fourth maybe 411 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: fifth round for some of the leaks that I play in. 412 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: But again, you know, running backs are are are really 413 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: sparse this season, and I think they're going to go 414 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 1: often and early, so I really kind of have to 415 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: be strategic. And then all the mocks I'm doing it. 416 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: I'm trying to go with my head and not my heart. 417 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: So I'm going to try to target a fourth or 418 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: a fifth round pick for the quarterbacks this upcoming season. 419 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: But don't mark my words. There's there's a few yolo 420 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: leagues I play in that I'm like, I'm just gonna 421 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: do it. Who cares? I mean, look, it happens to 422 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 1: the best of us. Right. You go into a draft, 423 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: a mock draft, a real draft with a strategy, something happened, 424 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: and you do you just you just yolo it, right, 425 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: I mean you're You're Jamis Winston on third and long 426 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: and like, you know, it's screwed. I'm just gonna throw 427 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: it up. I'm gonna make this pick and I and 428 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: hopefully it works out for me. So that is understandable. 429 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: Um So, if by some chance, neither Lamar Jackson or 430 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes were to finish as the quarterback one in 431 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: fantasy football this year? Who do you think could take 432 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: over that top spot? You know, I think it's gonna 433 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: be another one of those usual suspects, and fantasy we 434 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: kind of have the same kind of rotating five or 435 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: six quarterbacks. Who are who are you know, teetering that 436 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: top five spot. I think it's guys like Deshaun Watson, 437 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Dak Proscott. I think season Kyler Murray is 438 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: going to have a standout year as an early quarterback. 439 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: Right He had his rookie season last year and he 440 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: was great. But I think now that he has the 441 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: weapons around him and he's gotten some more offensive guys 442 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: to really receive and give the ball to, he's gonna 443 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: be someone who could be great. So I do think 444 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: it's going to kind of be in that family. Hey, 445 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: there may be someone crazy, maybe Daniel Jones is like, ah, 446 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: this is my year and he just goes out and 447 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: he really does get the nickname Danny Dimes. But I 448 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: do think it's going to be probably one of those 449 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: usual suspects you saying Daniel Jones. I'm sure Eddie's heart 450 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: fluttered a little bit, and not just because it's sweltering 451 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: in his apartment. But because you you gave props to 452 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: his Giants quarterback right there, I do like I like 453 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: that sort of to be that guy because he was 454 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: the QB two last year. Uh. And it's an offense 455 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: that is starting to more focused and and operate through him. 456 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 1: I mean, they added Ceedee Lamb in the draft. We 457 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: we know there's you know obviously Mary Cooper and Michael 458 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: Galloper there. I liked Blake Jarwin as a late round 459 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: tied in to kind of take a flyer at there 460 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: are weapons. I mean, that's that's not even counting Zekiel 461 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: Elliott in the backfield who can catch the football. There's 462 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard who comes off the bench. It catches the football. Uh, 463 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: there's a real chance that that maybe Dak Prescott sort 464 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 1: of pushes for that, but let's not forget. I mean, 465 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: he can run a little bit too. It's not maybe 466 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: the strongest part of his game, but it's something that 467 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 1: he can do when he has to do. Uh. And 468 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: So like I said that he would be my he 469 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: would be my I guess third option. If it's not, 470 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: I was just I was just gonna say, so it's 471 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: not Patrick Mahomes. If it's not Lamar Jackson, who are 472 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: going to be your top three quarterbacks? Yeah, it's funny, 473 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: it's for me, it's it's it's Dak Prescott, uh with 474 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson kind of right on his heels. Um, 475 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: I've sort of swapped guys around, right like I had 476 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: for a while. I had Russell just out of my 477 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 1: top five and number six, I've sort of slid him 478 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: back in. It just sort of depends. Um. I feel like, 479 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: if I'm in the mid part of a draft, if 480 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 1: I'm in the sixth round or something like that, and 481 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: Dak's there, if Russell's there, uh, Kyler's there, I'm fine 482 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: with any one of those guys because I think all 483 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: all of those guys have the potential to be certainly 484 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: in the top ten, probably in the top five, And 485 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: I don't mind taking kind of a mid round swing 486 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: at either of them. I think it's it's kind of 487 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: because I feel like, especially after you get past maybe 488 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: the top five or six guys, I think there's a 489 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: notable drop off too exactly. Um, who are some guys 490 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: you feel like as you you kind of combed through 491 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: mock drafts and you've combed through a DP list guys 492 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: you think should be maybe getting a little bit more 493 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: love from people drafting right now. You know this is 494 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: going to be kind of a hot taker or an 495 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: interesting one. But a guy that I'm really excited to 496 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: see started as a quarterback the this year is Teddy 497 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: Bridgewater and I think that he is he he has 498 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 1: the potential to get a lot of love right Like, 499 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: if you look, he obviously has CMC, who's going to 500 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: go first overall for almost every single person's fantasy draft 501 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: this season, but he also has Curtis Samuel and d J. 502 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: Moore and now a new Robbie Anderson, which is kind 503 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: of rebirthing that offense. I think if you look and 504 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: see what Teddy Bridgewater did last season when he filled 505 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 1: in for Drew Brees while he was out, there's a 506 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,239 Speaker 1: reason why he is now a starting quarterback. He put 507 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: up twenty seven Fantasy points when they played the Buccaneers. 508 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: Now Jamis Winston has gone to the and Teddy has 509 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: left the Saints to go to the Panthers. But I 510 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: do think he's someone who may be kind of sneaky 511 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: good and kind of get up there again. Like you said, 512 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: once you kind of get out of that top six, 513 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: top seven quarterback bracket. There's a little bit of a 514 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: drop off. So I don't think Teddy Bridgewater is going 515 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: to go and be owned in eight nine percent of leagues. However, 516 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 1: I do think someone kind of in the mid season, 517 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: when people have five weeks and we get around that 518 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: time and guys are looking for people on the waivers. 519 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: You know, God forbid that there are any injuries, Teddy 520 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: Bridgewater could be someone that we could see. I think 521 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: on the A D P list, he's twenty four right now, 522 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: so just around that Alex Smith range that we were 523 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: talking about. But I'm rooting for him, and I really 524 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: think he deserves this, this starting quarterback position, and I 525 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 1: think he has a lot to prove, so he's going 526 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: to go out there and prove it. I think you 527 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: mentioned Robby Anderson, and I think he's sort of a 528 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: weird key in this whole thing. And I say weird 529 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: because I don't think he fits in the offense, but 530 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: I think he has a role there. Right Bridgewater is 531 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: not a guy who who's gonna throw the ball deep 532 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: a ton, but if Anderson is doing his job and 533 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: if they can connect, just just enough to be dangerous, 534 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: just enough to pay attention to. Then that opens things 535 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: up underneath. Everybody loves DJ Moore. That's kind of a 536 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: no brainer. I think Curtis Samuel has a bounce back 537 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: year as long as he's not being forced to be 538 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: a deep threat, because I feel like he was sort 539 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: of miscast in that role. Um, So I think there's 540 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: some room. I do think you're right. I think you're 541 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: onto something with with Teddy being kind of a streaming 542 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 1: option or you know, kind of a an insurance option 543 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: for a lot of teams there. I think I think 544 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: there's something to it. I don't think he will be 545 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: a week to week starter, but uh, sometimes just that 546 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: that bridge guy to kind of no no pun intended, 547 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: that bridge guy to get you through is probably something 548 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: you need. I will go with the guy that Teddy 549 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 1: is taking over for in Carolina, and that's Kiddam Newton. Um. 550 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: You know, he's had a full year essentially to to rehab, 551 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: to get healthy. He goes up to New England and 552 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: I know that there are questions about the guys catching 553 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 1: the football there. I mean there's Julian Edelman, that's fine, 554 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: There's James White that's fine. Everything else is sort of 555 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: a question mark. But we've seen a healthy Cam Newton 556 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: be dominant. And now he gets to work in that 557 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: offense with Belichick and Josh M. Daniels and and and 558 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 1: those guys up there who were very smart about what 559 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: they do and about how they use their pieces. And 560 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: the fact that I think right now he's being drafted 561 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: is like the QB eight teen or something like that 562 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: in a lot of leagues, which means essentially in draft 563 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: there's zero risk. At that point, you're talking so late 564 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: in draft that there's almost no risk. And if he 565 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: turns out to be even close to the Cam Newton 566 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: we saw before, that you're gonna get a steel And look, 567 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: I've been saying the last couple of years, we have 568 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: gotten late round quarterbacks. Two years ago it was Patrick 569 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: Mahomes who was a late round guy who ended up 570 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: being a stud. Last year it was Lamar Jackson who 571 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: was a late round guy and who ended up being 572 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: a stud. And I think when we talk about late 573 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: round quarterbacks who can excel, we always trying to look 574 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: to young guys with the upside. But maybe this is 575 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: a chance where we look at a veteran who has 576 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 1: a new situation. Who's coming off the board late. Who 577 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: we know what he can be at his peak? Maybe 578 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: we should maybe we should get Cam Newton some more problem. 579 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: If nothing else, we can see his crazy fits after 580 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: after crazy fits. I don't know. He's on Twitter this 581 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: morning and it is obviously you know sports Twitter. Now 582 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: that the pads are on, we're all going crazy. He 583 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: need for more and more and more information. And there 584 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: was a video from yesterday at practice of Cam Newton 585 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: and he was like full Cam Newton swagged out dancing 586 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: on the sideline and they were like, maybe this is 587 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: a new Bill Bill Belichick that he's letting that happen. 588 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: So I think he's fired up. And again I think 589 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: he wants to go out and and prove himself. So 590 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: I think there's a little more you know, ump and 591 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: a pep and his step. So I'm all in on 592 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: Cam Newton as well. I know that's a guy that 593 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: you've been targeting and hyping up all of this offseason. 594 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: So I'm here for it. I'm here for I'm here 595 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 1: for the quarterback shine. Hey. Look, fantasy players can evolve, 596 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: Actual NFL players can evolve. Maybe coaches can evolve to 597 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: maybe Bill looks at Cam Newton is like, hey, you 598 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: know what, this guy is a good chance for us 599 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: to keep winning if it means he's dances on the 600 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: sideline a little bit, so be it like if he 601 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: wears a kilt during you know, when he arrives to 602 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: the stadium and he can and he can dance on 603 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: the sideline and and you know, do the bops and 604 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: all the TikTok's, and I should know. I should know 605 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: these my generation, like I'd like to know the Savage 606 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: I know, Oh my gosh. But regardless, if you know, 607 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: if if Bill Belichick is allowing Cam Newton to do 608 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: that because it wins them games, I think we are 609 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: all here for it, and we're all here for the 610 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: Twitter content that will come from it. Is actually we'll 611 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: I'll be better for it, all right. So we were 612 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: talking about the guys who should be getting more love. 613 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: I hate to be negative, but let's just keep it real. 614 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: Are there guys out there that maybe you're getting too 615 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: much love from from fantasy drafters? You know? Now you 616 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: were talking about Dak Prescott and I understand why all 617 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: signs point to him being great, but you know, maybe 618 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 1: it's me just and this is going to sound so bad, 619 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 1: and I know Cowboys Twitter is going to come for me. 620 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: I may change I handle right now, but I don't know. 621 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: It's like, I understand that he may be a top 622 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: three quarterback, but there's something just about rooting for the 623 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: Cowboys that and and rooting for Dak that sometimes I'm 624 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: I'm a little bit again. So I do think he's 625 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: going to be fantastic. And by no means am I 626 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: saying that he's not going to be. But I think 627 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: you know, all the hype that's going into it. You know, 628 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: if anything happens and he does not perform, the whole 629 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: fantasy world is gonna go crazy. So that's why I think, 630 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: you know, a Russell Wilson is probably going to slot 631 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: into my third above Dak Prescott. But regardless, you know, 632 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: they're going to be great. I love you, Cowboys, Twitter. 633 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: It's a great town. Dallas, Go Texas. Look we're not 634 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: for the city of Dallas and the Dallas, Texas I 635 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: don't know you have the Chiefs. I mean they moved 636 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: from Dallas to Kansas City of originally You're you're very true, 637 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: and you know the Hunt family still lives in Dallas. 638 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: So it's fine, you know, go Dallas, go, Go Go Chiefs, 639 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: Go Kansas City. But Dak is probably the guy who 640 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: I think is getting so much hype and so much love, 641 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: a lot of bit much deserved. But I just hope 642 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: he can perform and live up to those standards. I 643 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: sort of feel that same way about Kyler Murray. And 644 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,479 Speaker 1: I will take some of the blame for this because 645 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: I was one of the people and I wasn't the 646 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: only one, but I was definitely one of the people 647 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,239 Speaker 1: that back in December or January kept saying, you know, 648 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: if there's a guy who can do sort of what 649 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson did, it's gonna be Kyler Murray. Uh. And 650 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: so the draft discount that you would have gotten on 651 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: Kyler evaporated almost immediately. Like I said, I would like 652 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: to take full credit for it. I don't think I'm 653 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: that powerful, but I know that there were a lot 654 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: of people who sort of felt that way. And so 655 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: now we've seen Kyler's a DP, you know, shooting up 656 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: to the point that you need him to be a 657 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: top five or top four quarterback in order to sort 658 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: of return the value that you're trying to get from him. 659 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: If he if he ends up as QB six or seven, 660 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: that's fine, um, But you could have waited probably and 661 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: gotten another quarterback who could have done something similar and 662 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: not spent maybe a fifth or sixth round pick on 663 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. So I think he's getting a little bit overdrafted. 664 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: I will I will give a maya culpa and say 665 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: that maybe I helped fan that flame a little bit, um, 666 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: But I do sort of worry about what we expect 667 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: from Kyler versus where we're drafting him, versus what realistically 668 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: he could get you. He could be a top four guys, certainly, 669 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: but I think if he if he doesn't hit that mark, 670 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: then maybe you're sort of questioning the draft pick you 671 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: spent on him. Well. This this also kind of goes 672 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: all the way back to your first question of where 673 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: do you draft the quarterback? Right, Some people have completely 674 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: different strategies. You know. Now, the more that you talk 675 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: about Kyler Murray and you know how much draft capital 676 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: and draft stock you would get up to get him, 677 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: and you know one of the earlier rounds, then begs 678 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: the question do you just wait and get kind of 679 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: one of those guys that are outside of the top 680 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: six but you hope that you get you know, two 681 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and a streamer that that can help boost you 682 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: and get you a few fantasy points if you have. 683 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: You know, a Christian McCaffrey is your first overall pick. 684 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: So again, then it goes all the way back to 685 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: the strategy and where you really take the QP and 686 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: and how much uh, they rely on how many points 687 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: you get each and every week. Alright, So last quarterback 688 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: question I got for you, Uh, who will be to 689 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: you the biggest quarterback surprise of twenty It's good or bad. 690 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: Maybe it's a guy that outperformers. Maybe it's a guy 691 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: who underperforms. But who do you think is going to 692 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: surprise people this year? Eddie? I think you may want 693 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: to plug your ears just a little bit because I'm 694 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: gonna go with Seam Donald out of out of the 695 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: New York Jets. He's okay, he's the Giants guy. So 696 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: you can talk about the Jets, Okay, okay, fine, but 697 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: it's still like you, you know, the New York in 698 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: the New York New Jersey teams, but you know Sam 699 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: Donald mono no more. Hopefully he stays safe. It's COVID, 700 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: it's social distancing he has to wear a mask, so 701 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: I don't foresee that that would become another issue this 702 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: upcoming season. But the Jets also improve their offensive line, 703 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: right They got McKay backed in this year and the 704 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: draft giving Donald some type of cover to get the 705 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: ball to levy On Bell and Breshad Perryman and Jamison Crowder. 706 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: But I do think, you know, this is a season 707 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: for him to really prove him off as a starting quarterback. Now, 708 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: in his last four games of the season or four 709 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: games later in the season, he had over twenty fantasy points, 710 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: which for a fantasy quarterback, that's pretty darn good, right, 711 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: Like I had, you know, Drew Brees and some other 712 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: quarterbacks last season who got me eight or nine points 713 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: in some games. They had some where they you know, 714 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: shine and had thirty points. But when you kind of 715 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: get those seven points, it's like, all right, thanks, but 716 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: you know, thanks for kind of nothing. Uh, you know, 717 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: So when Sam Donald puts up those twenty plus point games, 718 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: I think that, you know, he may be a guy 719 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: that could really step up this year and be a 720 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: good quarterback. Surprise, So I know, that's kind of a 721 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: weird one. And he is very deep on the ADP list. 722 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: But I think a healthy uh Sam Donald is is 723 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: good for fantasy football. So again, I don't think he's 724 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: going to be anyone starting quarterback or starting week to week, 725 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: but I could see him as a as a streamer 726 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: option and someone who steps up to the plate. I 727 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: went through like a two week period and this might 728 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: be my USC showing where I was like, I'm trying 729 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: to get on the Sam Donald train, like I really did. 730 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: It was it was sort of like the two week 731 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: period in sixth grade when I got into dungeons and 732 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: dry eagans. But that's a whole kind of different story 733 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: for another time. Um I did. I really tried to, like, Okay, look, 734 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: maybe this is the year Donald puts it together, and 735 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: I really do hope so just from a standpoint if 736 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: I like to see Trojan succeed in the NFL, and 737 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:13,959 Speaker 1: so maybe that can be a thing. But I do 738 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: keep coming back to the fact that it's Adam Gaze 739 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: and uh, that's the negative. It's like that is the 740 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: part that holds me back. I will keep holding onto this, 741 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: this idea that Carson Wentz can really kind of shine 742 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: this year because it wasn't that long ago that we 743 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: talked about him as an m v P candidate. He 744 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: gets hurt late in the season, Nick Foles takes over, 745 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: the Eagles win a Super Bowl, UH, and then it's 746 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: sort of been hit or missed for wins either he's 747 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: getting hurt or last year he stays healthy and all 748 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: of the guys around him get hurt. So I'm sort 749 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: of hoping that maybe this is the year that all 750 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: the stars aligned, that went stays healthy, that his receivers 751 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: for the most part, stay healthy. We talked about Miles 752 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: Sanders getting a bigger role, and I think that, you know, 753 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: this is a guy that with Wentz, he's right now 754 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: the QB eleven and a lot of drafts based on 755 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: a DP, I think he could potentially be a top 756 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: five quarterback. Now, I will say that when I have 757 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: drafted him, I have also drafted a second quarterback as 758 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: sort of insurance. I mean, I may be bold, but 759 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,919 Speaker 1: I'm not crazy. So that's UH, that's kind of kept 760 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: me from just, you know, going completely all in on 761 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. But I do think that he can have 762 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 1: a really really big season potentially in in uh in Philadelphia. 763 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: You need you need to send him some stage and 764 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 1: have them just like siting to the locker room and 765 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 1: just say good vibes. We're staying healthy. I'm not getting hurt. 766 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: My receiving corps is not getting hurt. Uh. And then 767 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 1: all the stars will aligned and then you will probably 768 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: thump your chest into I told you so that was 769 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: gonna work. I am growing sage on my balcony right now. 770 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what to do with it. So you 771 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: have given me an idea. Now you can dry it 772 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 1: out and during it a little thing, and you can 773 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,839 Speaker 1: start sending it to players that you want to give 774 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: good vibes to the Marcus Grant Special now, because that 775 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 1: not gonna be weird. When a random NFL player gets 776 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: like some dried leaves, like what is happening? Quarantine would 777 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: have officially hit you and been like he is bored 778 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: and things are happening. He is He's officially losing it. 779 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 1: When the FBI shows up at my door because I'm 780 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: mailing dried le used to people around the country, that's 781 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: gonna be great. Um. So, as I mentioned, you are 782 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 1: going to be making your NFL Fantasy Live debut on Wednesday, 783 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: and we will have you on also also throughout the 784 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: regular season as well, So that's exciting. So as part 785 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: of it, we are doing mock drafts every week on 786 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: Monday's shows. We talked about them. You were involved, so 787 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: I'm sort of making this a mock draft Monday segment 788 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 1: even though we're recording it on Tuesday. Please don't at me, 789 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: because I don't care. So you were, I mean, you 790 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: were part of this most recent mock draft. I know 791 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 1: we're gonna do them every week as we go through it. 792 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: Was there a particular pick that you were super enamored with. 793 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,240 Speaker 1: I saw that you got your quarterback in the third round? 794 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: Uh was there one pick though that you look at 795 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: you like, yeah, just I didn damn good in this PI. 796 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: You know, I was really happy because again, you know, 797 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: last season I took a chance on some tight ends. Uh. 798 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,399 Speaker 1: You know, the University of Iowa has been coined tight 799 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: end you by a lot of people because of guys 800 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: like George Kittle. We have no a fan, we have 801 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: t J Hopkinson, kind of some of those up and 802 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 1: coming guys. Uh. So because of that, when I got 803 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey as my starting tight end, I was pretty 804 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,399 Speaker 1: darn happy, right because you know, if we ever listened 805 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 1: to Adam Rank. Adam rank strategy is to take the 806 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,399 Speaker 1: tight ends early and to get the good ones. So 807 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 1: the fact that I had Patrick Mahomes and then also 808 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: had him coupled with Travis Kelsey, that meant a lot 809 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 1: to me. And that was something that I was really 810 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: fired up about now, not only just because of my 811 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs fandom, just because I did say I 812 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: would take Kittle over Kelsey, but I do think and 813 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 1: a tightened uh you know scenario where they're kind of 814 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: far few in between for getting those good guys who 815 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 1: can deliver point after point, week after week. That was 816 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,399 Speaker 1: someone I was pretty darn hyped about. Yeah, I'm glad 817 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: you mentioned Adam Ranks. I know that that was his strategy. 818 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,879 Speaker 1: He has been the guy in the past who has 819 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: snagged Kelsey early. I will sort of piggyback off of 820 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: you because I went and got George Kittle in the 821 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: third round overall pick, and I was pretty excited about that. 822 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: I have seen plenty of leagues where he's going in 823 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 1: the second rounds, So for him to fall to me 824 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: in the third, I will take that all day. I've 825 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: drafted Kidle on a whole lot of spots. That's sort 826 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 1: of me kind of backing up my belief that he's 827 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: going to be the tight end one this year. So 828 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: I would say that the other one that I really liked, 829 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna just double up here is Adam feeling in 830 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 1: the fourth round because I feel like he's not getting 831 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 1: maybe enough love. He was hurt for a good part 832 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: of last year and I think that sort of impacted him. 833 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 1: And now with Stefan Digs gone, I do think Kirk 834 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: Cousins will lean on his security blanket a little bit 835 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: more early in the season. Um, is there a pick 836 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: that you wish you sort of had back, one that 837 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: that maybe got away from you, one that you yellowed 838 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: and afterwards you're like, I don't love you know, no, 839 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: because I believe that I play with my head, I 840 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: play with my heart, and I just do it, you know, 841 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: thankfully not. You know. When I done some other you know, 842 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 1: mock drafts and some things earlier in this season, I 843 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 1: had drafted. It was I was with you, and it 844 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: was us and and Rank and some others on the 845 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,360 Speaker 1: fantasy squad and we were kind of just doing a 846 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: mock draft and we had two teams, so it was 847 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 1: five of us. It was a ten team league. We 848 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 1: each had two teams, and in my first round I 849 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: picked up Clyde Edwards Hilaire and all everyone was like, 850 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 1: oh my god, what are you doing? But I just 851 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: like to say that it was me being psychic and 852 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 1: me knowing that he was going to be be the 853 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 1: starting running back and that Damian Williams was going to 854 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 1: opt out because of COVID nineteen. So that was something 855 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: back then that I had just done the mock draft. 856 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,320 Speaker 1: I was like, Oh my god, I'm gonna get roasted. 857 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: This is horrible. Why did I do it? That was 858 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: such a yellow play. But that was good, and now 859 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 1: I feel I feel comfortable in all my decisions. You know. 860 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,399 Speaker 1: Thankfully we have lots and locks that we're doing every 861 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 1: single week, so I can kind of finalize my strategy 862 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,720 Speaker 1: as best as possible as we get closer and closer 863 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 1: to the season, and then I can take down you 864 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 1: and Adam Rink and all the other clowns at Fantasy 865 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 1: Football and show you guys what Kimi check is meat of. 866 00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 1: You know, I look, I wouldn't put it past you, 867 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 1: just knowing the history of our Fantasy Live league the 868 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 1: last few years, it has been newcomers that have come 869 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: in and swiped the title. Last year it was Colleen Wolfe. 870 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 1: Two years ago was Mark is Took. So if the 871 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,720 Speaker 1: logic holds, then there could be another newcomer that hoists 872 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,840 Speaker 1: the trophy this year. So I love it, a newcomer 873 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: named Kimmy Checks. I'm all here for it. I'm gonna 874 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,359 Speaker 1: stage about it with the Dried stage that you're gonna 875 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 1: send me from your back. You know, Please don't be 876 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 1: freaked out when Dried leaves up here in your mailbox 877 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: at some point, Um, is there a guy that maybe 878 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 1: you missed out on in this moth draft that you 879 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,839 Speaker 1: you would like to target, Somebody that you didn't get 880 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: that you really wish you would have, right, you know, 881 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: I think I think the running backs are are tricky 882 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,279 Speaker 1: this season. So I think, you know, for me having 883 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: a really good running back core, because that was something 884 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 1: that I didn't have last season, that would have really 885 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,360 Speaker 1: been kind of more important for me. This is where 886 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 1: you know, I think fantasy fans they need to really 887 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 1: rely on, you know, the strategy of what that looks like, 888 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 1: and and and guessing you know, who's going to be 889 00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 1: best on on the roster and who's going to get 890 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,799 Speaker 1: you points week after week and also kind of having 891 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 1: some handcuffs on if guys get injured. So for me, 892 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 1: I think, you know, I would like to refine my 893 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: running backs a little bit more and kind of get 894 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 1: it together. I'm not I'm not quite the expert expert 895 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,879 Speaker 1: excuse me like you yet, But overall, again, I feel good. 896 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: And this was just the first of mini mocks, and 897 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 1: you know, I'm refining, and We're getting more and more 898 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 1: closer to the season and I'm going to be ready 899 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 1: to kick some But so I would say that for me, 900 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 1: and this is this is me sort of you know, 901 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: trying to make up for my past mistakes. Is I 902 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 1: think I am going to be more aggressive and trying 903 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,799 Speaker 1: to go get Miles Sanders. Now, I had just been 904 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: worried that the Eagles are going to do something to 905 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: sort of throw a monkey wrench in the whole works, 906 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: whether it was using Boston Scott or somebody on their bench, 907 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: or going out and signing a free agent off the 908 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: street to kind of work. I mean, DeVante Freeman is 909 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: still out there. He's still a free agent for somebody 910 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 1: to come pick up. And so I had just continually 911 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 1: been worried that everybody was going to invest all this 912 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,840 Speaker 1: draft capital and Miles Sanders and then Doug Peterson was 913 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: gonna sign Vante Freeman and we're just gonna light the 914 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 1: whole thing on fire. But now that it seems like 915 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: the Eagles are all in on Sanders, I am going 916 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: to start, I think, be more aggressive and trying to 917 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 1: go get him. This is all good to know. Now 918 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,319 Speaker 1: I know your strategy. Now see how it's like I 919 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 1: don't even name names, Like I'm like, I'm like undercover, 920 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 1: You're you're out here giving it away. So now when 921 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:24,359 Speaker 1: we when we do have our for real fantasy live draft, right, 922 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 1: I would say the hardest draft I was ever a 923 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 1: part of was the first year we ever did a 924 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 1: listener league on this show, and we were drafting and 925 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 1: we were just watching all the players that we loved 926 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,840 Speaker 1: and we talked about and go off the board before 927 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 1: our picks, and our heads were just spinning because you 928 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 1: realize that, I mean, it's a double edged sword, right, 929 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:46,800 Speaker 1: Like one, you're losing all your guys, but too it 930 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 1: means people are actually listening, so that yeah, you're like 931 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,279 Speaker 1: this is good. Like people people enjoy my advice, my job. 932 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 1: You're like, this is this is very reaffirming. That's kind 933 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: of cool, but yeah, it was. It was definitely one 934 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 1: of the more frustrating drafts I think I've ever been 935 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: a part of in my entire life. Um, I always 936 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,839 Speaker 1: like to end with something sort of fun here. Uh. 937 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,839 Speaker 1: And you are one of the biggest Beyonce stands. I know, 938 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: you are one of the biggest the be Hive that 939 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 1: that I know, And I just want to say that 940 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,919 Speaker 1: that by by asking you this question, I am going 941 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 1: against my own personal social media policy, which is to 942 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: never talk about Beyonce at all, good, bad, or otherwise, 943 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,600 Speaker 1: because like, I just don't need that smoke with the 944 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 1: bee Hive. But like the bee Hive can do any 945 00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: and everything. I am a part of it, and it 946 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: scares me, like are we are? We are in it? 947 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 1: So I just because I just don't want those problems 948 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: in my life, I have generally made it a policy 949 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 1: not to speak on Beyonce one way or another, positive, negative, 950 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 1: anything in between. But because you are a huge member 951 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,239 Speaker 1: of the bee Hive, I have to ask you, when 952 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,399 Speaker 1: it comes to Beyonce albums, what is the one dot 953 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 1: oh one? Which is the one that no matter what 954 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 1: you were going back to when you're taking every time. 955 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: You know, this may be the hardest question that I've 956 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 1: ever been at. Oh my goodness. You know, I could 957 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 1: go on and talk about Beyonce all day. I don't 958 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 1: think our fantasy listeners don't want to do that. If, 959 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,400 Speaker 1: as you all can see, I'm at gimme checks if 960 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 1: you ever want to chat Beyonce. Uh, and don't come 961 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 1: crazy at me because like Marcus said, the Hive will 962 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 1: come after you. You know, we could go like O G. 963 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: But truly, I think my favorite album that no matter 964 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 1: if I'm happy, I'm sad, I'm mad, I'm on a run, 965 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 1: I'm ready to run through a wall, it is laminated 966 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 1: for me right, Like her visual albums in the way 967 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,720 Speaker 1: that she has just completely revolutionized the way to drop music, 968 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,400 Speaker 1: Like you just see what she did with Black Is 969 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 1: King that you know, just just came out a few 970 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 1: weeks ago, Like she has such a storytelling capacity and 971 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,240 Speaker 1: in a capability to really show her music through video 972 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 1: and through visuals and what that means, and especially as 973 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,080 Speaker 1: a black woman, to see those visuals and to relate 974 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:56,919 Speaker 1: to it in such a raw and a real way 975 00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,600 Speaker 1: and to see Beyonce completely, you know, exposed to you know, 976 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 1: parts of her relationships and things that have happened in 977 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,319 Speaker 1: her life. Lemonade is like the album for me and 978 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 1: I will stand on that hill. I could not tell 979 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 1: you my favorite song Beyonce song that is that is 980 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: beyond impossible. But Lemonade is it. And if you have 981 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,880 Speaker 1: not watched it or listened to it, I implore you 982 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,480 Speaker 1: to do. So. Maybe that's going to be like my 983 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,280 Speaker 1: draft album. While I'm drafting this year, I'm just listening 984 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,719 Speaker 1: to Beyonce just getting completely amped up. So we're making 985 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 1: a movie of your draft season. It would be a 986 00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 1: montage to uh with Lemonade as the soundtrack. Yeah, it 987 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,240 Speaker 1: would just be like Lemonade. And while I would draft, 988 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,359 Speaker 1: I would like wear the gowns and and and then 989 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,760 Speaker 1: the clothes that she wore throughout. That seemed a little excessive. 990 00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,720 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell you that, right, I am excessive. 991 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if you knew that. So for me, 992 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,319 Speaker 1: this seems like a great challenge. But maybe maybe that's 993 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 1: something I should look into. You know, it's quarantined, so 994 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,399 Speaker 1: it's like why not why not order a lot of things? 995 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 1: Online and try to do something crazy. Yeah. Time right 996 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 1: at this point, we all we all got none but 997 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 1: time right now. Uh, can we appreciate you coming on. 998 00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,439 Speaker 1: We'll have to do this again at some point during 999 00:44:58,440 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 1: the season if I kind of have you on a 1000 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 1: little bit more regularly. But for people who are new 1001 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,400 Speaker 1: to you, where can they find what you do?
