Martinez the spentting statistician right 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.919 here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Like I said, 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.280 we gotta lead with this again, and it is not 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:26.440 usual on the Fantasy Freestyle where we lead with NBA news, 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.280 especially in the off season. But I have become enamored 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.880 with the plight of Kyrie Irving after his trade demand. 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.880 He wants to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers. He apparently wants 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:37.599 to go to a team where he could be more 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:41.120 of the focal point out of the shadow of Lebron 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.440 James and remembers. They're kind of going back and forth 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:47.320 on social media with their posts. You know. Kyrie Irving 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:52.080 also unfollowed Lebron James on Instagram. I reported that yesterday 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.280 on the Fantasy Freestyle, I was telling you that Lebron 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.000 is working out with guys like Derek Rose maybe the 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.880 new point guard for the Calves, along with Eric Bledsoe. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.120 There's been some talk about bled so in any kind 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.960 of deal or three way deal and somewhere involving some 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:10.440 of the big stars. So far this summer um there's 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:14.120 news though today a lot of people are now reporting 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:18.080 that apparently Kyrie Irving is not talking to anyone from 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:22.760 the organization. The Cleveland Cavaliers can now not get ahold 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:27.120 of Kyrie Irving. So not only did he unfollow Lebron James, 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:32.239 it sounds like he's ghosting the entire organization. One report 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.880 out there from Jason Lloyd of the Athletics says that 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.320 he is quote unquote not talking to anyone from the 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:43.520 organization because he's quote unquote said enough already apparent. Apparently 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.400 this is real. I think there's now at this point 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.560 too much smoke for there to not be fire in 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:53.080 this situation, and I think ultimately they will move on 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.600 from Kyrie Irving and see what they can get back. 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.880 According to Pablo tore Though of ESPN, he's saying that 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:03.560 Kyrie Irving really wants to wind up with the New 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:07.000 York Nicks. Okay, he is a Jersey kid. He didn't, 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.640 in fact tweet out that he's coming home. We thought 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.960 that was a mock to Lebron James when he did 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.680 that whole thing going back to Cleveland a few years ago. 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.719 But keep an eye on this. I think something actually 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.920 may happen. I could see something like Kyrie for Carmelo 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.320 and a pick, or maybe Kyrie for Carmelo and this 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.880 year's first round pick, the kid Frenchie Frank, we should see. 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.599 But keep an eye on this. Maybe Kyrie Irving charged 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.520 his own course and it finds his way back home 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:39.240 to the New York metropolitan area. So we're gonna keep 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.240 an eye on that. Of course, on the fantasy freestyle. 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:42.840 But what I want to do here is go into 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.360 Major League Baseball tonight so you can help, you know, 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:47.480 get you what you need so you can win that cash. 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.040 First of all news and notes from around Major League Baseball. 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.359 I've been saying it now for a month. With the 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:56.560 trading deadline approaching, the Marlins are still open for business. 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.600 I told you they were looking to sell off almost everybody. 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.120 You've heard names all the way from d Gordon to 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.760 Giancarlo Stanton. They've already moved at Savaria. We've talked about 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:09.480 a J. Ramos. They already moved David Phelps I said, however, 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.400 there were some names that they thought were gonna be untouchable, 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.679 Guys like Kristin Yellis, guys like Marcelo Zuna, maybe guys 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.480 like JT. Real Muto. One of the names that was 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.320 in that kind of untouchable group is no longer. And 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.560 I'm talking about their starting picture, Dan Strelli. They say 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.560 they are now open to moving Dan Streli. He's had 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.840 a good season so far, three point eight for e 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.400 R a one point one eight whip. And here's the thing, 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.760 he is signed under team control until the year twenty. 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:38.560 You would think that maybe a new owner does want 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.080 to hold those kind of cheap assets that are under 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.240 team control. But the Marlins are saying they are open 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:48.200 for business, including Dan Strelli. The Twins. This is interesting. 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.360 The Twins are now fielding calls on Irwin Santana and 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:56.040 Brian Dozer. And guess what, They're also fielding calls on 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.560 a picture that they traded for themselves a few days ago. 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:04.360 Behind me Garcia went from the Braves to Minnesota. After 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:05.960 that start he had in l a where he hit 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.160 a Grand Slam and they were thinking about pulling him 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.640 from that start. He eventually did go to Minnesota, but 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.200 apparently he since that trade. The Twins of lost like 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.680 four or five in a row, and they are now 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:20.040 moving from buyers to sellers very quickly. Speaking of deals, 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.680 we have a deal that made uh you know, made 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:26.000 sense for both teams and is complete today in the 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.560 last hour, the New York Mets and the Tampa Bay 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:32.120 Rays have struck a deal. First baseman Lucas DooDah is 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.640 going to go down to Tampa. The Mets in return 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.360 get minor league right handed pitcher Drew Smith. He was 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.400 the thirtieth prospect in the minor leagues. Doodo will probably 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:46.000 wind up being the everyday d h for Tampa as 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:49.160 they continue their chase of the wild card in the 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.040 al least them in the New York Yankees right there 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.959 behind the Boston Red Sox. I told you also watched 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:58.679 the closer market. As we go into the trading deadline. 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.640 In Oakland, the closer to situation is fluid. There are 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:05.560 reports that Santiago Cacilla may lose his job. He got 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:09.640 the lost last night. Maybe the next man up could 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.240 be a guy they acquired in the trade with Washington 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.200 that sent Doolittle and Madison to the East Coast. They 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.640 remember they got Blake training and he might be in 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:22.160 line if Cassilla continues to falter um sad news here 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.280 the Nationals have played Steven Straussburg on the ten day 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.480 d L. He's got that right elbow nerve issue. Um. 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:30.560 They are saying that this is kind of just a 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.920 precautionary measure. He may only miss one turn through the rotation. 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.560 That they want to be safe rather than sorry with 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:40.200 their number two starter as the national steam ahead towards 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:44.000 the playoffs at least, and reports also while in l A, 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.160 the Dodgers with the best record in the National League, 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.760 they have been looking for another starter to kind of 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.920 be right behind Clayton Kershaw, to be right behind Alex 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.560 Wood when they get to the playoffs. And they're saying 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.679 they are now confident that they will in fact trade 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.360 for an ace. The name is out there. Johnny Quado, 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.240 justin Verland there has been linked to the Dodgers for 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:07.760 a long time, along with Justin Wilson, their reliever and 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.480 now also Sunny Gray Sonny Gray seems to be real 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.880 hot on the market. I think he's gonna go in 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:16.840 the next seventy two hours somewhere, and uh, the Astros 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.480 may be focused on a guy like Sonny Gray as well. Listen, 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.000 it is Thursday. By the time I have my show 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.480 on Monday, on the trading deadline July thirty one, it 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.680 will all be tied up. But there are going to 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.160 be a lot of moves made because so many teams 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:36.200 are still in contention for playoff positioning. So tonight, though tonight, 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.720 there's only five games on the slate. Okay, your high 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:42.720 price guys or Chris Archer, John Lester and these guys 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:44.880 are at ten thousand on FanDuel or above. But I 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:46.920 don't like either one of them. Okay, Archers playing against 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:50.080 the Yankees in the Bronx. Remember the Yankees score runs, 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.040 especially at home. So I'm fading Archer and Lester. I 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.000 don't like either. Here's why. If you listen to the 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.640 DFS Lineup block show with my men Benny Riccardi and 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.040 Tony Sencada, one of the things they talk about all 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.600 the time is how the Chicago White Sox hit left 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.360 these well, and that's the situation there in tonight against 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:09.560 John Lester in that crosstown rivalry. So here's two guys 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.720 that are cheaper that I think could do well for you. 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.360 First of all, Zac Godly at eight five hundred on 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.360 FanDuel he's at St. Louis. But I've been talking about 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.880 Godly as well as some of these other Diamondbacks pitchers 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.439 for a long time. You know my man Robbie Ray 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.320 as well. But Za Godly and his last four starts 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:29.240 thirty two strikeouts in twenty three innings pitched. Okay, that's 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.400 him going six innings. That's him striking out eight guys 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:34.440 every six innings. I think that's a nice start. I 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.760 like his k upside tonight. The other guy I'll give you, 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:40.720 remember I'm fading Chris Archer. How about his opponent for 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.920 the New York Yankees tonight, C. C. Sabathia is down 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:48.200 at only seventies six hundred. Okay, CC has been great recently. 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:52.719 In his not nine starts, CC has won seven of 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:56.000 them and he's only given up nine earned runs in 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:59.760 his last nine starts. I like that value. At seventies 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:03.120 six hundred against the Tampa Bay Raised tonight, and of 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.640 those nine runs, four when an outing against the Blue 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:10.280 Jays on Independence Day, July four. Last night, though I've 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.240 been sick with it. I've been sick with it all 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.800 week long. Giving you who you need to win that cash. 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.120 I told you last night that Carrasco was high, that 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:20.640 you Darvish was high. You Darvish only went three innings, 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.840 he gave up ten runs. Carrasco only when six and 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.640 two thirds and only struck out five. I told you, however, 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.800 even against the offense of the Houston Astros, to go 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.480 with Aaron Nola, what did he do? He went six 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.720 shutout innings, he struck out ten as the Phillies beat 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.959 the Astros nine. Nothing. Hopefully you listen to your boys 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:42.080 speeds the spitting statistician there. The other guy gave you 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.680 last night, which was Jake Arietta. I said he was 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:46.680 priced a little high, but I like the right handers 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.400 against the White Sox, not the left handers like they're 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:54.320 facing tonight. Harietta did well, got the wind, going six 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.480 and two thirds, only giving up two runs. So both 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.280 of the guys I gave you last night were better 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.319 than both of the high priced options. That's the way 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:03.520 you gotta do it. I think you can do it 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.840 again tonight with C C.

As we slide from 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.760 July to August, middle of the summer. Man, hope everybody's 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:03.360 having some barbecues, enjoying their casual fridays and things of 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.440 that nature as we keep it moving. I know I 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.800 am here at Studio thirty four at Rock and Riley's 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.080 let's get into the cipher here because we gotta get 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.240 into some news and notes around the NFL. And I 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:17.200 start in Baltimore. Okay, Baltimore. They have not had a 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:20.200 good start to training camp. Okay. Earlier in the week 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.120 we heard about how Kenneth Dixon was supposed to just 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.280 get a little trim on his meniscus. When they went 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:27.200 in they realized there was a full repair, and odds 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.840 are he is going to miss the entire season. We 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:33.480 also hear word that they're starting quarterback Joe Flacco has 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.960 a back issue. Okay, little bulging disks, things like that, 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:39.920 and he is preparing to miss four to six weeks. 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.840 They're saying it could be an extended absence that would 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:46.440 get them all the way basically through the preseason and 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.160 almost to the start of the regular season. So both 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:54.000 Kenneth Dixon and Joe Flacco very early on have injury issues. 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.920 Remember I wasn't that high on the Baltimore Ravens to 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.360 start out with. Let's stay in that division. I have 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.040 some things about the Pittsburgh Steelers, who I do think 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.960 are the favorites to win that division. First of all, 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.800 stud running back, you know I love him. Call me 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:11.920 on my bell phone, Levian bell Avian a prayer. He 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.200 did not report to camp as camp opened for the 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:19.480 Pittsburgh Steelers today. Okay, here's the thing. We know. His 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.720 contract negotiation has been in the news for a long time. 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.600 He was franchise that sort of stuff. He wants to 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.320 play for fifteen million. He wants to be paid not 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:30.840 only like a top running back, but also like a 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:34.440 wide receiver too, and there is good rationale for that. 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:37.800 With the way Levan Bell has been playing, He'll be fine. 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.560 He will report to camp. This is just him kind 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.040 of like making a point in my opinion. What it 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:46.280 does do, though, is it gives Reps an opportunity for 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.960 James Conner, who is their backup, this guy out of pit. 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.640 I love James Conner. I think it's a great story. 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:55.200 Came back from Themphoma in his college career is really 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.880 a kind of, you know, a good guy, and so 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.960 if he can get more opportunity field his skills so 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.880 that ultimately he'll be viable in the NFL, I got 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:08.040 no problem with that. Sticking with Pittsburgh, another guy I've 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.679 been talking to you about for a while is their 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:15.200 wide receiver Martavis Bryant. Remember Martavis bryan who was suspended 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.800 all of last year is coming back. Remember he was 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:20.840 tweeting in the draft and there was beef with him 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.680 and Eli Rogers. Remember I also told you that I 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.440 was fading him because I didn't believe he was a 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.840 kind of like reformed and back to being a contributing 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:32.320 member of the team. Him and Ben Roethlisberger we're going 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.240 at it with kind of quotes in the media. I 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:38.359 thought that was bad. We'll check this out today their GM, 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:43.040 the Pittsburgh g M Kevin Colbert says, upon his conditional 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:46.760 reinstatement in April, Martevis Bryant was made aware it was 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:50.399 only the beginning of a process. We have been informed 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.800 by the NFL that Martevis is still in that process 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:58.200 of being fully reinstated. Apparently Martavis Brian can take part 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.240 in off the field team activity, but is not allowed 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:05.240 to practice or play in preseason games. So there is 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.920 still a long way to go for Martavis Brian. Remember 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.399 there have been times where guys like Josh Gordon I 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.160 thought was gonna get reinstated and then there was still hurdles. 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.800 Maybe Martavis Bryant still will. But I'm telling you I 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.359 have said for a while I am fading this. I 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:24.840 do not think that it ultimately ends well for Martavis Brian. Remember, 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:26.800 with this, we are finding that he's not really like 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:31.040 fully officially reinstated just yet. Remember yesterday I told you 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:34.199 also that now the training camps have opened, is we're 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:37.199 gonna go into all these stories about buzz about buzz 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:40.399 about people who are like looking great and opening eyes 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.600 at training camp and that sort of stuff. So I 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:44.680 got a few stories like that, you know, taken away 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:48.040 the grain of salt. But apparently DeVante Parker in Miami 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:50.840 quote unquote blew up the first day at camp and 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:54.360 impressed everybody. When I previewed the Dolphins a few days ago, 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:56.760 I said, DeVante Parker is a guy who I just 0:18:56.880 --> 0:19:00.760 don't trust to actually ever break out. He has injury 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.720 concerns as well, with the coaching staff is hyping him up. 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.360 But guess what, that's what you do with guys who 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.600 need to take a step. You start to fill them 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:12.159 up with confidence. Similarly, in San Francisco, we have a 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:14.040 guy that I have been talking about for the last 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:16.760 few weeks. In San Francisco, we're talking about running back 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:20.600 Carlos Hide. Remember how I said that Carlos Hide was 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.040 not a fit in that scheme, how Carlos Hide was 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:25.160 injury prone, and how the forty Niners in that new 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:28.920 regime invested heavily in new running back Joe Williams out 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:32.040 of Utah. I believe it is well now they realize 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.359 though they can't go too far with it. You know 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:36.800 what I'm saying so g M. John Lynch today says 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:40.280 that Carlos hide Qute unquote looks tremendous. I think this 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:42.879 is just them playing nice in the sandbox so it 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:46.159 doesn't get ugly. I still believe that Joe Williams is 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:49.600 the back to own this year in fantasy football for 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:53.399 the San Francisco forty Niners. Down in Washington, tight end 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:57.240 Jordan Reed. As you know, he too is injury prone. Okay, 0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.879 they are now saying his toe injury may actually be 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.560 related to compensating for a previous ankle issue. The fact 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:06.480 that he already we're talking about his injuries, this is 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:08.720 when he's supposed to be at his best health for 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.000 the season. The fact that we are already talking about 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:14.760 injuries for Jordan Reid does not bode well for the 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:18.479 Washington football team or for any fantasy football owners. That's 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:21.160 why I am fading Jordan Read at the tight end position. 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:24.080 I am not going to invest that draft capital on 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:28.480 something that is not safe like Jordan's red. Also and 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:31.359 the Broncos running back room I reported I believe yesterday 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:33.920 that Davante Booker had a fractured wrist and that he's 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:36.560 gonna miss some time. The Broncos have addressed that by 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:42.600 signing former Patriots former Lions Stephen Ridley is now in 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:45.879 camp with Denver, competing in that running back room along 0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:50.240 with guys like Jamal Charles and obviously see Jay Anderson. 0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:52.520 All Right, like I said, we're gonna talk New York 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.320 Jets here and and let me have this disclaimer first. 0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:59.760 I am a Jets fan, have been for a long time. However, 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:02.720 I believe the Jets are going to be the worst 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:05.639 team in football this year. I believe the Jets are 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:09.080 going to finish with one or two win something like that. 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:12.400 I think they are actually doing this on purpose so 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:14.359 that they can be in the running for the number 0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:16.680 one overall pick because there is not one, not two, 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:20.640 not three, but four legit franchise quarterbacks coming out next 0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:22.560 year in the draft. You hear me talk about hashtag 0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:25.800 suck for Sam all the time. But just like every 0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:27.640 other team, we are going to go position by position 0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:29.639 and tell you if there's any value. First of all, 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:33.320 at the quarterback position. Listen, Josh McCown, no, I don't 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:37.000 like that. Christian Hackenburg, No, I don't like that. There's 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:40.840 no reason to be involved with anybody in the quarterback position. 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:43.879 I actually do believe that Christian Hackenburg is going to 0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:46.320 get the bulk of the starts for a couple of reasons. One, 0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:48.960 they have to find out what they have and two, 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.359 if you're a team that's tanking and wants to finish 0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:54.800 one and fifteen, secretly, you run out Christian Hackenburg. There 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:57.159 is no kind of fantasy goodness. I don't care if 0:21:57.200 --> 0:21:58.800 you're in a two QB league. I don't care if 0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:01.359
