Speaker 1: We're holding it down for the next hour up till
Speaker 1: three pm Eastern time, when you will hear Teddy Covers
Speaker 1: and Ralph Michael's on Wager Talk. Venture I alluded to it.
Speaker 1: We've got a fun show plan. I want to go
Speaker 1: all over the place today. I want to talk about
Speaker 1: fake beat reporter burner accounts for the New York Jets.
Speaker 1: What a way to wrap up twenty nineteen and the
Speaker 1: decade was? That was the New York Jets. Can't ask
Speaker 1: for a better way to end this decade. We've got
Speaker 1: a feet round mock draft that we are going to
Speaker 1: complete together. We're gonna look at the wide receivers, the
Speaker 1: top twelve wide receivers from the twenty nineteen season. We
Speaker 1: got two quarterbacks, running backs. We spoke a little bit
Speaker 1: about tight ends yesterday as well. We'll talk about our
Speaker 1: favorite fantasy player of the decade. And we'll wrap it
Speaker 1: all up with some New Year's resolutions. Closer, Chris Venture,
Speaker 1: how you doing, buddy, I'm good. How are you doing today?
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, we were just on the Friends you
Speaker 1: were took shooting the ship about the New Year's I
Speaker 1: didn't do resolutions, so let's do it on this show.
Speaker 1: And uh shout out to Greg Susman. Shout out to Greg.
Speaker 1: Playing a little botch. You played, Boc. I've played probably
Speaker 1: wait until you're about forty fifty and then maybe you'll
Speaker 1: hit up the box. It's an old Guineas game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I could say that, you can't say, you know, because
Speaker 1: you're probably the most Italian guy I know. But maybe
Speaker 1: we'll stay away from for the rest of the show here.
Speaker 1: But let's start off with this burner account drama. If
Speaker 1: you're watching The Morning After Today with Gamemorenci, Ariel Epstein
Speaker 1: and Joe Ornery, you heard a little bit about this. Now,
Speaker 1: if you follow the Jets, if you follow fantasy football,
Speaker 1: and you know on Twitter you have all the beat
Speaker 1: reporters where you get your information from, you need to
Speaker 1: follow these people in order to know, you know, to
Speaker 1: keep you updated for the fantasy football season. Who's in,
Speaker 1: who's out, Practice updates, usage updates for players. Normally, these
Speaker 1: are great follows to help you become a better fantasy player,
Speaker 1: with maybe the exception of one Beat reporter Ventura, that
Speaker 1: being Miniche Meta of the New York Jets. Now here
Speaker 1: is here's the issue with Minische Meadow. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of issues he's at this point. If you follow him
Speaker 1: of the New York Daily News of the New York
Speaker 1: Daily News, he is patrol. Yeah, he is more of
Speaker 1: a troll than an objective beat reporter that he is
Speaker 1: supposed to be. The day, the night that the Jets
Speaker 1: hired Adam Gaze, Minich Meadow goes out and tweets Jets fans,
Speaker 1: you finally got it right. You got an innovative, offensive mind,
Speaker 1: a true leader. That was the beginning of it all.
Speaker 1: That was the beginning of the trolling, all right, And
Speaker 1: now every single week we're getting fluff peace after fluff
Speaker 1: peace about Adam Gaze. I'm rich as I'll let you
Speaker 1: fill in the blank there. You never even said it.
Speaker 1: Fake sources, fake news. This guy just goes out of
Speaker 1: his way. And now this is the latest in the
Speaker 1: drama of the New York Jets. Allegedly there was a
Speaker 1: burner account. This is this is great, you can follow
Speaker 1: go on my Twitter. I quote tweeted this. Barstool Sports
Speaker 1: has an investigative report regarding this burner account. A burner
Speaker 1: account for those out there who if you don't know,
Speaker 1: it's a fake Twitter account that you make to either
Speaker 1: defend yourself or to defend somebody else. So all along
Speaker 1: there's this account on Twitter venture at Wyatt v eighteen.
Speaker 1: Now it's deleted. I wonder why everyone's suspected that this
Speaker 1: was an Adam Gaze burner account Because Adam Gaze, sensitive guy,
Speaker 1: doesn't deal well with the media. This is all the
Speaker 1: portrayal of Adam Gaze. And believe me, I don't normally
Speaker 1: defend Adam Gaze, but for this specific scenario, I will
Speaker 1: be defending Adam Gaze. Now, the turn in all this,
Speaker 1: this h Adam Gaze burner account is that people now
Speaker 1: suspect that it is miniche Meta who is running this
Speaker 1: burner account to try and sabotage Adam Gaze so that
Speaker 1: he can write stories about Adam Gaze having a fake
Speaker 1: burner account. How rich he is, I mean the lengths
Speaker 1: that people will go to and again this is all alleged,
Speaker 1: But the reason why people think that it's him is
Speaker 1: because this fake Twitter account, this burner account, tweeted out
Speaker 1: a New York Daily News article written by miniche Meta
Speaker 1: exactly the same way that he tweeted out the article
Speaker 1: later on in the day, so people are suspecting that
Speaker 1: he forgot to change his Twitter account. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is insane. Why would anybody want to coach the New
Speaker 1: York Jets. This team is seven and nine. They stink
Speaker 1: there a circus, and yet they're always in the news.
Speaker 1: How do they go seven and nine, six and two
Speaker 1: and there finally games all the credit in the world
Speaker 1: to Greg Williams, by the way, is a moron? Why
Speaker 1: are you going? And then it all kind of it
Speaker 1: kind of leaks over into everything else is happening. Right,
Speaker 1: So you saw a lot of people saw yesterday the
Speaker 1: Adam Gates response to the Levian Bell question, well is
Speaker 1: Levian Bell gonna be back here? And Adam gaze visibly
Speaker 1: frustrated at the podium based on who is asking the question.
Speaker 1: He says, asked Joe Douglas tomorrow, He's under contract for
Speaker 1: three years? What else you want me to say? Minisch
Speaker 1: Meadow was the one who asked me that question. So
Speaker 1: of course Connor Us, a beat reporter who actually does
Speaker 1: his job for the Athletic, cleared this up yesterday and said, well,
Speaker 1: the reason why Adam Gates was so frustrated was because
Speaker 1: it was Minish Meta who was asking questions. He's like,
Speaker 1: how many times do I have to answer the same question?
Speaker 1: And Gates is just frustrated, Like if someone wrote a
Speaker 1: story about you venture making up some fake news, a
Speaker 1: fake storyline about you being richer than everyone else, and
Speaker 1: you don't care about your fan base all the goon squad.
Speaker 1: Imagine some one wrote a story like that and it
Speaker 1: wasn't true, and then that same person comes in and
Speaker 1: asked you a Levian Bell question. You would be frustrated
Speaker 1: to Well, first of all, it's personality, like, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't let all these things get to you. If
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a head coach, don't let that get
Speaker 1: to you. Like I'd be joking around too. It's just
Speaker 1: that never ends. Well, you could be beliver. I thank
Speaker 1: God for the New York Jets because you know, there
Speaker 1: was some great times with Rex Ryan. I personally I
Speaker 1: love the Rex Ryan about the guy he brought. He
Speaker 1: brought the Jets to two championships. Back made a great defense,
Speaker 1: but him defeat everything else that's going on in the Jets,
Speaker 1: it's just this is the biggest news they had all yet.
Speaker 1: It's a wild world. We come back. We'll get back
Speaker 1: to Fantasy FOOTBALLUS. The Fantasy bfs live on the sports

Speaker 1: account conversation when it comes to miniche meta slash Wyatt
Speaker 1: v eighteen on Twitter. Yea, so yeah, he made this account.
Speaker 1: He's trying to get attention, right. Everybody wants files and
Speaker 1: clicks and whatever, but some people want it real bad
Speaker 1: and they'll go to extensive lens to do it. And
Speaker 1: I think I believe this is right now. You said,
Speaker 1: I asked you during the break, would you go, like,
Speaker 1: you know, do something a little crazy like this to
Speaker 1: get more follows and get attention. I wouldn't do would No,
Speaker 1: I'm not me personally, I could understand that, you know,
Speaker 1: certain people would. Some people just have the urge, you know,
Speaker 1: they have the urge to I gotta I gotta get
Speaker 1: some clicks, you know, I gotta get follows. I gotta
Speaker 1: find a way to create controversy, right to get people
Speaker 1: talking about me. And you know what that is. That's
Speaker 1: high school, man, that's that's junior high school. That's drama.
Speaker 1: The writer should be professionally saying they should be professional.
Speaker 1: And you brought up a good point during the break.
Speaker 1: Maybe the times are changing. We got trolls all over
Speaker 1: the world, news everywhere, living their parents basements, as gay
Speaker 1: likes to say on Twitter, YouTube comments, read it wherever
Speaker 1: you go, there's gonna be trolls. I mean, look, if
Speaker 1: you want to kind of say, what has to find
Speaker 1: the decade of you know, the twenty tens going into
Speaker 1: social media, social media and you know keyboard bullies, that's
Speaker 1: you know, that's been very prevalent. And now and now
Speaker 1: we got one working for the Daily News. Is he
Speaker 1: gonna get fired? No? No, no, no, The Daily News
Speaker 1: loves this. Now they got me talking about so they
Speaker 1: got me talking about it, They got everybody on Twitter
Speaker 1: talking about it. They love this. They're not gonna get
Speaker 1: rid of him. So do you think is he's not
Speaker 1: a beat reporter. He's like, that's what he claimed to be.
Speaker 1: He's not. He's this is TMZ, this is create controversy,
Speaker 1: get clicks, clickbait. But he works for He's not. He's
Speaker 1: not a real beat reporter. He's supposed to be a
Speaker 1: real beat reporter, but he's not. He's a troll. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what he is. So they're gonna be more fake
Speaker 1: beat reports a professional troll. People are gonna do this. Listen,
Speaker 1: you'll get a raise out of this. Maybe this will
Speaker 1: be the best thing that ever happens. If you ask
Speaker 1: me what I do something crazy to go viral, yes,
Speaker 1: the answer is yes. All right, So what's what's the
Speaker 1: closer Chris, Vent're doing later tonight to go viral? Well,
Speaker 1: I I said, I already said, I'm already like I'm
Speaker 1: going home. I already asked Christina. I said, listen, I
Speaker 1: got a crazy idea. You want to go to a
Speaker 1: c tonight? There poker And she said she's down, She's down.
Speaker 1: But the problem is it's six hundred dollars for room,
Speaker 1: but god is she already looked it up for to Well?
Speaker 1: Everyone said, you know what, everyone's gonna want to go
Speaker 1: party in a c for a New Year's Eve. Exactly.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of singles out there would
Speaker 1: have it. But I'm gonna just play polka. I told listen,
Speaker 1: you could drink half fun go out. Do you think
Speaker 1: I'll play poke? I'll drink some coffee and Bailey's I
Speaker 1: won't get too erect and I'll drive home. You know,
Speaker 1: I'll just have like one drink and the rest of
Speaker 1: the night coffee stay. I'll play some polka, win some money, alright,
Speaker 1: be a great night. But I'm down to do spontaneous
Speaker 1: and crazy stuff. I don't know how things go viral, though,
Speaker 1: you know, stupidest things I've ever seen have gone viral,
Speaker 1: and my role mean, there's no way to predict it, obviously,
Speaker 1: and if everyone could predict it, then you know, be
Speaker 1: a ton more content than there already is. Exactly. So
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, one day, I'm sure I'll do
Speaker 1: something pretty stupid and crazy and and you know it'll
Speaker 1: get it. How about you know? I tweeted about this
Speaker 1: last night, how about you sign up for Temptation Island.
Speaker 1: Temptation I feel like that would be a perfect show
Speaker 1: for you to be a big problem for those who
Speaker 1: don't know what Temptation Island is. I walk in last night.
Speaker 1: My fiancee is watching Temptation Island. This is a show.
Speaker 1: I'll just read you the Wikipedia definition here description of
Speaker 1: the show an American reality television program broadcast on Fox
Speaker 1: and USA Network. Probably shouldn't mention that in which several
Speaker 1: couples agree to live with a group of singles of
Speaker 1: the opposite sex in order to test the strength of
Speaker 1: their relationships. If you have not watched this show, I've
Speaker 1: watched it. This show is insane, and Chris, I feel
Speaker 1: like you would fit right in. Yeah, I've watched the
Speaker 1: first couple episodes for some reason to be able to
Speaker 1: behave yourself on Temptation Island. No, No, no, I I would,
Speaker 1: I would. I mean, I you never know who's watching.
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I'm about to get married in like a
Speaker 1: month and a half, So not if you go on
Speaker 1: Temptation Island or not. I see, that's the thing, that's
Speaker 1: the point. If you're going on tempting Temptation Island, and
Speaker 1: you've already got you know, they're probably couples anyway. It's
Speaker 1: probably all definitely got couples issues already if you're going
Speaker 1: on Temptation Island. But it is a hilarious show. Shout
Speaker 1: out to Wyatt, Shout out to Burner Accounts, Shout out
Speaker 1: to Temptation Island Venture the top twelve wide receivers. There
Speaker 1: we go. There's your segue of the twenty nineteen fantasy
Speaker 1: football season. We did quarterbacks yesterday, running backs. We spoke
Speaker 1: a little bit about tight ends as well. The wide
Speaker 1: receiver position in twenty nineteen, No surprise, Michael Thomas one
Speaker 1: of the best seasons that we've ever seen from a
Speaker 1: wide receiver. He broke the receptions record in a single season.
Speaker 1: Number two. How about this, Chris Godwin, Despite only playing
Speaker 1: fourteen games, Chris Godwin finishes as your wide receiver two overall,
Speaker 1: Your boy Julio Jones, number three, Cooper Cup, DeAndre Hopkins,
Speaker 1: Kenny Gallady. He only played eight games with his starting
Speaker 1: quarterback Matthew Stafford still finishes your wide receiver six DeVante Parker.
Speaker 1: Since Preston Williams went down, he is the wide receiver
Speaker 1: to overall from Week ten on just a phenomenal season
Speaker 1: from DeVante Parker number eight, Keenan Allen nine, Amari Cooper ten,
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman eleven Allen Robinson. What rob What a phenomenal
Speaker 1: season out of Allen Robinson. Every single week we come
Speaker 1: in here talk about how bad the Bears offense and
Speaker 1: Mittal Trobiski looked. You know who wasn't bad? It was
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson. Really made the most of a not so
Speaker 1: great He did that with the jackal has to Blake Bortles.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's had two of the worst quarterbacks, seriously,
Speaker 1: and he's still making the most of it. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: Just a phenomenal job by Alan Robinson. Number twelve Mike Evans,
Speaker 1: despite only playing thirteen games. So you have two Bucks
Speaker 1: wide receivers finished there in the top twelve. Only six
Speaker 1: of these who finished in the top twelve were actually
Speaker 1: drafted in the top twelve in average draft position before
Speaker 1: the season. So you had a fifty percent hit rate
Speaker 1: of your of you know, one of your one of
Speaker 1: the top twelve wide receivers returning wide receiver one value
Speaker 1: at hit rate who did not great? Okay, So first
Speaker 1: of all, it was it was only six. To me,
Speaker 1: there was only like five or six elite will receivers
Speaker 1: coming into the year. You're ready, DeAndre Hopkins, Davante Adams,
Speaker 1: and I'll have a little bit more on Davontae Adams.
Speaker 1: He was not great early in the season, and obviously
Speaker 1: getting hurt did not help. Julio Jones was number three,
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas number four, three or your top four great,
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. Five, Juju Smith Schuster six, Tyree Hill
Speaker 1: was great when he played, but he got her can't
Speaker 1: predict injuries. Number eight, Mike Evans awesome when he played.
Speaker 1: Still finished inside the top twice your boy. So when
Speaker 1: you drafted Antonio Brown number nine, burned everybody. Keenan Allen
Speaker 1: number ten wasn't bad. Actually inside the top towel you
Speaker 1: saw it. He did what you expected him to do.
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling got hurt and really wasn't great either. I
Speaker 1: had a lot of touchdowns. Amari Cooper was twelve, So
Speaker 1: again six out of the top twelve that were drafted to.
Speaker 1: Just just outside of that, Stefan Diggs was fine, solid
Speaker 1: high end wide receiver. To Brandon Cooks terrible, Robert Woods
Speaker 1: really really slow, first half of the season. Came on
Speaker 1: in the second half of the season. You know, Robert
Speaker 1: Woods actually finished with over a thousand yards receiving. A
Speaker 1: problem is he only had three touchdown. It's always a
Speaker 1: problem for Robert Woods. T Y Hilton got hurt. Julian
Speaker 1: Edelman finished inside the top twelve, Chris Godman finished inside
Speaker 1: the top twelve. Kenny Golladay was wide receiver nineteen drafted.
Speaker 1: He finished inside the top twelve. And then Tyler Lockett
Speaker 1: rounds out the top twenty a d p uh, and
Speaker 1: he was very up and down. You had some really
Speaker 1: big games out of lock He got hurt at one point,
Speaker 1: then you had some down games. He wasn't he he
Speaker 1: was Tyler Locketts talented. The problem is, and we say
Speaker 1: this every single year, this is why I didn't draft
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, and I felt terrible about it in the
Speaker 1: first half of the season. They just run the football
Speaker 1: too much. It's a problem. Man, Like if they unleased
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, you're paying him as much money as you are.
Speaker 1: He could throw forty You have Brian Schottenheimer as the
Speaker 1: o C of the Seattle Seahawks. All he wants to
Speaker 1: do is run the football and they do it effectively,
Speaker 1: so I can't blame them for that. But see as
Speaker 1: how this team won as many games as they did,
Speaker 1: it's scary to imagine how much better they could be
Speaker 1: if not even like, you don't have to have Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson throw the ball fifty times a game. That's not
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, but just haven't been more aggressive throw
Speaker 1: on earlier down. It's a little bit more play action,
Speaker 1: a little more creative. Imagine if that was the case,
Speaker 1: how great Russell Wilson could be for real life and fantasy.
Speaker 1: But I think for many years the issue was they
Speaker 1: didn't trust the receivers, okay, because you had at one
Speaker 1: point what it was, Golden Tate was their locket. This
Speaker 1: is really early on Russell Russell Wilson's career. Early in
Speaker 1: their career they were defense, ground and pounds, smashed football team.
Speaker 1: And he now plays when he had to write, I
Speaker 1: think now at this point in time, this is the
Speaker 1: best receiver group they've ever had with Russell Wilson. Because
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf has really had a nice rookie season and
Speaker 1: I doubted him too. I was wrong about d K.
Speaker 1: I was wrong about him too, and he's a freak.
Speaker 1: I should have liked him. It was against my grain completely,
Speaker 1: but he had none ds, receiving seven touchdownsches. Great rookie's right, uh,
Speaker 1: David Moore. Tyler Lockett coming into his own. He had Baldwin,
Speaker 1: but metcalf replaces Baldwin and Lockett becomes the number one.
Speaker 1: He has weapons now, Hollister, you got what's his name
Speaker 1: will come So there's great to Yeah, the weapons are
Speaker 1: there now. The weapons were better this year. I don't
Speaker 1: know that they're gonna improve, increase their past percentage or
Speaker 1: their you know, change their play calling philosophies. Probably not.
Speaker 1: I think as long as Brian Schottenheimer is there, that's
Speaker 1: not gonna change. Remember last year they lost the Cowboys
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. All they did was run the football
Speaker 1: in that game. They would have won if they were
Speaker 1: more aggressive on early downs. It's just a detriment for
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. We come back, more wide receiver talk,
Speaker 1: one round mock and more here on the BFS. I

Speaker 1: you're at the hockey supposedly, I don't even know what
Speaker 1: that is. Yeah, I don't. I can't. I can't name
Speaker 1: two players in the in the National Hockey League that
Speaker 1: right now. Um? Yeah, all these slates good though. Are
Speaker 1: we talking about big money here? There's a big money
Speaker 1: on every slate. First for basketball, some early NBA slate action. Um,
Speaker 1: speaking of the picking a rise, we have a we
Speaker 1: have a season long fantasy basketball pit league. You know,
Speaker 1: the big timers in it, killing the closer. Chris Venturer,
Speaker 1: you're showing off a little basketball chops. Huh yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: six and four now. You first thing he came in today?
Speaker 1: You know what I picked up? Row mccraig. Heck is
Speaker 1: this guy last night? I'm like, who is this guy?
Speaker 1: Put up fantasy points? You're on my team. And anybody
Speaker 1: that scores forty five plus fantasy points automatically gets added
Speaker 1: to my team. If they have that capability, I want
Speaker 1: them on my team. Uh No, but what you call
Speaker 1: im playing? Greg Sussman this week, take out, take Out,
Speaker 1: take out, the BC. All right venture, I wanted to
Speaker 1: ask you about these top twelve wide receivers that finished
Speaker 1: in nineteen Michael Thomas, Chris Godwin, Julio Cooper, cup d
Speaker 1: Hop Golladay, DeVante Parker, Keenan Allen, Amari Cooper, Julian Edelman,
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson, Mike Evans. Of that group, who are you
Speaker 1: most likely to avoid in the fantasy football season? Good question,
Speaker 1: good question. I am going to avoid. So there's two
Speaker 1: guys that I'm eying right now on this list that
Speaker 1: kind of scare me. Let's talk it out. Uh one,
Speaker 1: Actually there's three, so definitely. Uh Julian Edelman. This is
Speaker 1: the first time I feel like he's been in the
Speaker 1: top twelve. He's usually a wire receiver too. I feel
Speaker 1: like over the years now I would have to look
Speaker 1: that up because he usually doesn't get a lot of touchdowns.
Speaker 1: I think this year he had how many touchdowns you have? Eight? No,
Speaker 1: we had more than six, alright, six, So letn't have
Speaker 1: a ton of touchdowns, but almost twelve yards receiving nine receptions.
Speaker 1: I think Edelman I would not draft as a top
Speaker 1: twelve wide receiver. I drafted more as a wide receiver
Speaker 1: to keep it strict like that, because he's also older,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And they're gonna beat up
Speaker 1: he was the best weapon on the team. They had
Speaker 1: no weapons all year. You don't even know if Brady's
Speaker 1: gonna be there, right Cooper worries me. He doesn't show
Speaker 1: up in big games. He cost me a championship. Uh,
Speaker 1: he disappears. I love that you you base who you're
Speaker 1: gonna draft the next year on whether or not they
Speaker 1: they screwed you over in the championship. I mean, I'll
Speaker 1: draft him. You screwed me over in Week six? Team
Speaker 1: not drafting next year, Like, I'll draft him. But I
Speaker 1: don't want to spend a wide receiver. I don't want
Speaker 1: him to be my wire receiver one. I'm not calm
Speaker 1: do with that, you know what I'm saying. I'm fair,
Speaker 1: I'm you know, like I would somewhere. He's super talented.
Speaker 1: Is you know, maybe the next head coach that they
Speaker 1: bring in our offensive coordinator, assuming that they make a
Speaker 1: change again, it's you know, to thirty here on the
Speaker 1: East Coast. Jason Garrett is still employed by the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: He hasn't been fired yet, or at least I haven't
Speaker 1: seen it. He's going to be, so we'll see who
Speaker 1: they bring in. But maybe it's someone that can get
Speaker 1: the most out of their weapons because Amari Cooper, he's
Speaker 1: disappeared at times. He's always banged up. He's super talented,
Speaker 1: but we just don't get enough consistency yet, right, And
Speaker 1: that's the problem. And you're drafting him every year as like,
Speaker 1: here's the year he's gonna be everyone one. And you
Speaker 1: know what, at this point, everyone's gonna see what he
Speaker 1: did this year. They're gonna talk about, oh, well, look
Speaker 1: at the big games that he had. He still finished
Speaker 1: at the top twelve wide receiver. Next year, he'll be
Speaker 1: in the top. He'll be a second round pick again
Speaker 1: next year. Right, And that's the thing I think that's
Speaker 1: paying too much because we haven't completely seen that consistency
Speaker 1: upside from him for a whole season yet. You know,
Speaker 1: every year he's had some sort of issue that kind
Speaker 1: of you know, the heard him from being that elite
Speaker 1: wide receiver you want to see from him. Um Allen
Speaker 1: Robinson worries because the year before with the Bears didn't
Speaker 1: do much at all. He was actually one of the
Speaker 1: most inconsistent I had him, and I was banking on
Speaker 1: him to do what he did this year. It was
Speaker 1: his first year coming off a c L surgery, though, right,
Speaker 1: and his first one another year further removed from that
Speaker 1: right talent wise, love the guy A little worried about
Speaker 1: that offense. I don't know if he's gonna be a
Speaker 1: wid receiver one again next year. Mike Evans is a
Speaker 1: guy who I know is can be a wide receiver
Speaker 1: one in any given year. But if you look at
Speaker 1: his career, I feel like every other year he has
Speaker 1: it down here. Like if you just look at his
Speaker 1: career stats every other year, you'll see, like when you're
Speaker 1: twelve touchdowns, actually I have like three touchdowns, Like it's
Speaker 1: just very odd like. And if you look at his
Speaker 1: game log, his game log is kind of a microcosm
Speaker 1: of his career, right, because it's the same way. It's
Speaker 1: one week he'll give you a hundred and fifty and
Speaker 1: three and the next week he'll give you five for
Speaker 1: fifty plus. He never really catches a ton of passes.
Speaker 1: He caught sixties seven bulls. As you I don't think
Speaker 1: he's ever quote more than what his career has. That's
Speaker 1: a good that's a good one. All right, What about
Speaker 1: the most part, what are you looking at? Seventies sixties, Yeah,
Speaker 1: sixty seven, This year eighty six, last year seventy one,
Speaker 1: the year before that nineties seventy four, So he ranges
Speaker 1: from seventy to ninety let's say that. Okay, So to me,
Speaker 1: my war receiver ones catching eighty five plus balls. Guaranteed
Speaker 1: you want a guy that's eating consistently. So if you
Speaker 1: have a guy who's only catching, but he makes up
Speaker 1: with this, he makes up with it with the chunk
Speaker 1: plays that he catches, you know. So like he doesn't
Speaker 1: do it in reception volume, but if you look at
Speaker 1: his yardage, like last year fifteen hundred yards, he has
Speaker 1: another year over thirteen hundred. His second year in the
Speaker 1: league he had over twelve hundred yards, So he always
Speaker 1: makes big place. He has these big chunk plays. The
Speaker 1: average is almost sixteen yards per reception in his career,
Speaker 1: so he's a monster. Makes up for that reception total
Speaker 1: by having big yardage games. So to me, Mike Evans
Speaker 1: is definitely a safe pick. But I don't know he's
Speaker 1: better for best, he's a bottom end wide receiver one
Speaker 1: for me in that top elite alright, So then you're
Speaker 1: not gonna get him next year because he's gonna go
Speaker 1: at the t ye. See, I'm not paying for that.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a borderline first second round pick, right
Speaker 1: like Michael Thomas, Julio Jones, DeAndre Hopkins, Davante Adams, to me,
Speaker 1: are the four elites. Those are the elites untouchable. After that,
Speaker 1: you know, golad I might be turning into that. I
Speaker 1: think Godwin and Mike Evans are in that mix right
Speaker 1: after that. Odd Wins coming up and Tech and if
Speaker 1: Godwin's gonna be elite, I think it's gonna be very
Speaker 1: difficult for them both to be consistently elite all year long. Again,
Speaker 1: I think that was a problem this year. There was
Speaker 1: never a game where both of them went off together.
Speaker 1: It would be one game, it's god Win, one game,
Speaker 1: it's Evans. And that's why you know, when we talked
Speaker 1: about this a lot during draft season, or at least
Speaker 1: I know Greg and I do right where we would
Speaker 1: you double down on two wide receivers on the same team,
Speaker 1: even if it's a really good offense, right, Like, would
Speaker 1: you take a Julio we probably would have Yeah, like
Speaker 1: Julio and Ridley, I would do that, Like, yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a chance that both of them could go off in
Speaker 1: the same week. You're kind of limiting your upside because
Speaker 1: more often than taking each other, one of them is
Speaker 1: going to go off and the other one isn't. That
Speaker 1: was look at the Bucks offense. They had one of
Speaker 1: the best passing offenses all season long, and there still
Speaker 1: weren't a lot of games, if any where both Godwin
Speaker 1: and Evans went off in the same game. So it
Speaker 1: limits your upside. And think about how many times this
Speaker 1: guy Winston through the ball I mean and the head
Speaker 1: monster games. But it would be all right, well, one
Speaker 1: game Mike Evans would go off in the next time
Speaker 1: Chris god want to go off, and then you know
Speaker 1: you're not doing together. You shouldn't really draft two hour
Speaker 1: receivers on the tape, even if you want them to
Speaker 1: be part of your top three wire receivers. I think
Speaker 1: like next year, you you will have the opportunity to
Speaker 1: take Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup, But why would you
Speaker 1: do that? Because you limit your upside? But they're both
Speaker 1: super talented. So I understand, like, yeah, you might wanna
Speaker 1: uh differentiate a little bit. One team you take Cooper,
Speaker 1: maybe one team you take Gallop. I think Galu might
Speaker 1: even be better than just to get exposure to that offense,
Speaker 1: because look, the Cowboys have a talented offense, There's no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. That's why Jason Garrett's about to get fired.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of talent on that lot of games.
Speaker 1: They just weren't able to show up a in big
Speaker 1: games and there wasn't enough consistency. When you have an
Speaker 1: offensive line that good, you pay a running back, you
Speaker 1: have a top five running back, you have a top
Speaker 1: five offensive line. Dak Prescott, Maybe Dak Prescott is the problem. Now,
Speaker 1: he had a great year, thirty touch on a level
Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of that was garbage time
Speaker 1: perfect really was like Blake Bortle's fantasy production. Right, but
Speaker 1: he hasn't been banned. You needed him to beat the
Speaker 1: Bears on Thursday, You needed him to beat the Eagles
Speaker 1: in a crunch time game. You couldn't do it. It
Speaker 1: didn't show up. Yeah, you're right, No, you're right. I
Speaker 1: mean that's real NFL talk. But when we were fantasy
Speaker 1: DA is great for fantasy fantasy purpose is great. Um,
Speaker 1: But I would say this strategy wise going into next year,
Speaker 1: if you're drafting wide receivers right, usually you have three
Speaker 1: wide receivers that you're definitely starting on your on your roster.
Speaker 1: I usually tend to go for all three of those
Speaker 1: guys to be the number one wide receiver on their
Speaker 1: team and so that they're getting as many targets as
Speaker 1: That's exactly what e y strategy was. This Yere too,
Speaker 1: like later on in drafts, if he could find wide
Speaker 1: receivers who he suspected to be the number number one
Speaker 1: for their team, he would just draft him, even if
Speaker 1: he didn't think that they were talented talented players, like
Speaker 1: he had Courtland Sutton everywhere this year Immanuel Sanders was
Speaker 1: on the team. He he thought that sort of Sutton
Speaker 1: was going to be the number one, and he ended
Speaker 1: up being here and that's why he drafted him everywhere
Speaker 1: and it worked out. It was a great call. I
Speaker 1: mean the same thing with Devanta Parker. Once he saw
Speaker 1: the way he was playing earlier on in the season,
Speaker 1: he picked him up everywhere. He said, look, this kid
Speaker 1: is the number one, and he gets all the targets
Speaker 1: and he eats it. It doesn't always work. I mean,
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown was the number one on the Brown on
Speaker 1: the Ravens, and obviously he's a rookie and he didn't
Speaker 1: get as many targets. And obviously Lamb Jackson run. So
Speaker 1: it depends on the team. But or like the footy Niners,
Speaker 1: the number one, there is no true number one there.
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders came, he still wasn't a true number one.
Speaker 1: Debo has better numbers than Emmanuel since he came to
Speaker 1: the Ford Ninder Sanders, right, I mean, so, uh well,
Speaker 1: Deebo will probably be the number one next year, So
Speaker 1: I'll target a guy like Debo because I think he'll
Speaker 1: be them not man. I think that's brand is. I
Speaker 1: think he is that good. I think they go out
Speaker 1: and get Odell Beckham. I think staying for and to
Speaker 1: be number two. But if that's if that's the case,
Speaker 1: then A. J. Green is probably the one over DeBow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it could be close, but it's interesting, it is for sure. Look,
Speaker 1: you know one of the old adages right in fantasy football.
Speaker 1: One of the first things that I learned was draft
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and wide receivers on teams with bad defenses, and
Speaker 1: draft running backs on teams with good defenses, because obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just makes sense. You have a good defense,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be playing with the lead. You're gonna have
Speaker 1: the ball more you want, You're gonna have the running
Speaker 1: back playing from a head positive game script the other way.
Speaker 1: That's why every year it doesn't matter if Jami's Winston
Speaker 1: throws thirty interceptions. He's thrown, he's thrown for five thousand yards.
Speaker 1: The defense, you know, while they improved this year, they
Speaker 1: still weren't great. So and Bruce arians and a very
Speaker 1: kind of black and white way to look at positional
Speaker 1: UH players and fantasy people draft running backs on teams
Speaker 1: with good defenses, and draft quarterbacks and white papers start
Speaker 1: on teams with bad de physics because they're more often
Speaker 1: than not chasing points in those games. All right, we
Speaker 1: come back, Well, we will give you our Players of
Speaker 1: the Decade, Fantasy Players of the Decade one round. Mock

Speaker 1: Where is he Gonna Be? Welcome back to the Fantasy
Speaker 1: best Friends Forever. I am Frank Standfeld, joined by the
Speaker 1: Closer Chris Ventra, the host of the Fantasy Football Frenzy
Speaker 1: here on the Sports Grid TV network. Yeah, I wanted
Speaker 1: to provide people a little look back at the decade,
Speaker 1: right I've seen a lot of these lists already. Who
Speaker 1: were the top Jets of the decade, Giants of the decade,
Speaker 1: the top athletes of the decade, the best sports moments
Speaker 1: of the decade, And you know, they're fun things to
Speaker 1: look at and read and remind yourself of everything that
Speaker 1: happened from the years. So venture I wanted to ask
Speaker 1: you who is your Fantasy Football player of the decade
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. I think everybody already knows, especially shout out
Speaker 1: of the goon squad that it's gonna be Julio Jones.
Speaker 1: Can you argue with my boy? Uh? I've seen a
Speaker 1: tweet from Grand bar Field today, Shout out the Grand
Speaker 1: bar Field. Julio Jones finished among wide receivers and Fantasy
Speaker 1: points since two thousand fourteen wide receiver three, wide receiver two,
Speaker 1: wide receiver seven, receiver six, while receiver two and wire
Speaker 1: receiver six, so top ten wide receiver pretty much throughout
Speaker 1: his entire career. Uh. And if you look at his career,
Speaker 1: I mean, if it wasn't for Antonio Brown and his
Speaker 1: dominance in that five year stretch, Julio is probably the
Speaker 1: greatest receiver of the decade. I mean, it's hard to
Speaker 1: argue against Julio. That's fair to say, you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think DeAndre Hopkins is in that mix, but Julio
Speaker 1: did it for longer within the decade, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, so, I mean, Hopkins definitely in the mix,
Speaker 1: but Julio Megatron too. Can't forget about Megatron. Megatron's career
Speaker 1: ended in I think, so I feel like he just
Speaker 1: cut his career short. He said he did, But did
Speaker 1: you read or see that story about him where he
Speaker 1: basically was like a tell all interview. He told he
Speaker 1: revealed to people that he was like smoking and using
Speaker 1: like pain killers and stuff, and like he's from the game.
Speaker 1: So I can't blame the guy, man, I mean, you
Speaker 1: got to look out for your long term health as
Speaker 1: Well's yeah, I think he was only twenty nine when
Speaker 1: we were talking. He retired at thirty after. You're right,
Speaker 1: But you know, for those, uh, for those six years
Speaker 1: from fifteen, I mean, Calvin Johnson was amazing. Antonio Brown
Speaker 1: in that mix as well. I put this question on Twitter.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people were saying, someone said
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, someone brought up Antonio Brown as well. I
Speaker 1: saw that RTAL World put out an all Decade team
Speaker 1: which featured Lashawn McCoy Adrian Peterson. Of course, you can't
Speaker 1: forget about those players. It was. It was a great
Speaker 1: decade for all of those guys. But mine is I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make it personal because this player helped me win
Speaker 1: my first championship in my longest standing home league. And
Speaker 1: I'll never forget. One of my favorite Fantasy football moments
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football, Marshawn link Lynch breaks off one of
Speaker 1: those beast Quake runs against the San Francisco forty Niners
Speaker 1: seventy yard roly, he's just cutting people up one side
Speaker 1: of the field, runs the other side, trucking people. Scores
Speaker 1: a seventy yard touchdown to give me the lead in
Speaker 1: my fantasy football championship and it was the first time
Speaker 1: I won my home league. So my answer is Marshawn
Speaker 1: Lynch from four straight years with over twelve hundred yards
Speaker 1: twelve of plus touchdowns. I mean, to do that for
Speaker 1: a four year stretch as a running back in the NFL,
Speaker 1: pretty damn impressive. Uh, just really created a lot of
Speaker 1: memorable moments for not just fantasy owners, Seattle Seahawks fans,
Speaker 1: the uh we all know the crazy runs and the playoff,
Speaker 1: the hold hold my junk, the runs. Man. I mean,
Speaker 1: the guy just created so many special moments. So my
Speaker 1: answer would be Marshawn Lynch. It was a great person
Speaker 1: for Beast mode. I'm happy that he's back in the NFL. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's my answer. Yeah, I mean, listen, that's a personal thing.
Speaker 1: But like he did, if he didn't do it, yeah,
Speaker 1: for the whole decade, that's tough. He was actually good
Speaker 1: for the Raiders last year. He just got hurt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now you know, Now he's just a bet. I want
Speaker 1: to jump into this first round mock for We've got
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes left here on the show, so
Speaker 1: try and get through twelve picks if we can a
Speaker 1: little back and forth just to give people an idea
Speaker 1: of what the first round is looking like. I know
Speaker 1: a couple of people yesterday in the chat we're asking us,
Speaker 1: you know, what is the first look like, or at
Speaker 1: least the top five picks. So I think this is
Speaker 1: a good way to kind of go over that and
Speaker 1: give people a really early look at what we're expecting
Speaker 1: the fantasy football season. Of course, half point. The only
Speaker 1: way to play fantasy football is half point. With that,
Speaker 1: you're on the clock. You've got the number one pick, Ventra,
Speaker 1: You're gonna shot the system. Christian McCaffrey. I mean you
Speaker 1: have to. I know it sucks. Yeah, I mean you're right, like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you gotta take him. I'm just missing it's boy, it's
Speaker 1: not boring, because Christian McCaffrey's definitely not boring. All right.
Speaker 1: It's the consensus number one pick, concess number one pick.
Speaker 1: He was the best player in fantasy this year. Uh,
Speaker 1: I mean he, like you said, he was a player
Speaker 1: and and and a half. Basically he was a flex
Speaker 1: and an RB one. How good and one? How great
Speaker 1: would you say Michael Thomas is yere was? I I
Speaker 1: think it was like a nine out of ten on
Speaker 1: a scale, Michael Thomas and the guy breaks the single
Speaker 1: season in receptionsption, it's not a ten out of ten,
Speaker 1: well ten at Randy Mosses not at a ten. He
Speaker 1: finished with three hundred point one Fantasy points and half PPR.
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas Wide receiver one just had a phenomenal season,
Speaker 1: historic season. Christian McCaffrey four hundred and thirteen point two
Speaker 1: Fantasy picks. What It's just insane what he did this year.
Speaker 1: I mean he was in the running to have the
Speaker 1: greatest fantasy football season of all time, past Ladinian Thomlinson,
Speaker 1: who scored thirty one touchdowns. Christian McCaffrey had nineteen touchdowns.
Speaker 1: So think about how many more scrimmage yards he had
Speaker 1: in Ladinian Thomlinson Thomlinson's phenomenal season. I'm not worried about
Speaker 1: the workload for McCaffrey. You know how much he's touched
Speaker 1: the ball. I don't think that they're gonna go away
Speaker 1: from him. This is the Panthers offense, and I think
Speaker 1: it's going to continue to do that way. I agree
Speaker 1: with you, right, And he didn't get hurt. I mean,
Speaker 1: if we're if Sae Kwon, Barckley didn't get hurt, okay
Speaker 1: and had a phenomenal season, something close to McCaffrey. Even
Speaker 1: if McCaffrey, it would it would have never come close
Speaker 1: to mccaffe How do you know even in Barty's best years,
Speaker 1: I think point too. I'll say that next year McCaffrey's
Speaker 1: one A Barley stays healthy the whole year. And I'll
Speaker 1: tell you right now why the number to pick in
Speaker 1: fantasy drafts should be Ezekiel Elliott. Ezekiel Elliott is as
Speaker 1: safe as they and considering the changes that they're going
Speaker 1: to make, I expect this Cowboys offense to really hopefully flourished.
Speaker 1: Bring someone in here to get the best out of
Speaker 1: these weapons. Just so safe. I mean, he hasn't finished
Speaker 1: below RB five in Fantasy points per game in any
Speaker 1: season that he has been in the NFL. The receptions
Speaker 1: have gone up the past couple of years. He scored
Speaker 1: a ton of touchdowns this year, got off to a
Speaker 1: little bit of a slow start. Didn't have preseason and
Speaker 1: training camp because he was holding out for the contract.
Speaker 1: Can't blame a player for wanting to get his money.
Speaker 1: For me, the number to pick as safe as they come.
Speaker 1: I'm taking Ezekiel Elliott. You're on the clock with number three, Okay,
Speaker 1: so you got Zeke, I will go with. This is tough.
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta go with who you just said
Speaker 1: is one b right. I'm because of the injury. It
Speaker 1: worries me and Michael Thomas is so safe. I think
Speaker 1: I have to go Michael Thomas. I think so. I
Speaker 1: think it's just so safe. He has not had a
Speaker 1: flaw in his career so far. If you look at career,
Speaker 1: that hasn't been a flaw, not one, not an injury. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean no, there's literally hasn't been anything wrong. Uh Now,
Speaker 1: in a PPR, it's tough. Basically it's Barkley, Thomas, and
Speaker 1: then whoever's next. Barkley and Thomas, whether you take them
Speaker 1: three or four, I would take Barkley even two and
Speaker 1: Thomas too over Zeke. I think I know you're a
Speaker 1: Giants fan, but I think is extreme. I think he
Speaker 1: obviously had a down year, he got hurt and everything,
Speaker 1: but now he's fully healthy. These last two weeks he
Speaker 1: looked fantastic. I'm buying right back into the Barkley hype,
Speaker 1: and I think he's the best, most talented running back
Speaker 1: in the league. To Christian McCaffrey, I think those are one,
Speaker 1: one and two. Then Michael Thomas. You just helped me
Speaker 1: because either way, you take Michael Thomas three, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take say Kwon Barkley four. So your top four picks
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, Ezekiel Elliott, Michael Thomas, and sake Kwon Barkley.
Speaker 1: We know how talented Barkley is, even if he didn't
Speaker 1: show it as much in the second half of the season.
Speaker 1: Probably returned too early from that ankle injury. Looked like
Speaker 1: he was kind of playing through some pain. There's healthy recently,
Speaker 1: That's what That's what matters. They have to improve the
Speaker 1: offensive line in the off season. I think it's some
Speaker 1: something that they should address. I don't know that they
Speaker 1: will because if you're watching that Dave get him in
Speaker 1: press conference today, the guy does not have a clue.
Speaker 1: Hopefully they address the offensive line. But I think year two,
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones gets better, the offense gets better. So to sake,
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley, you're back on the clock for pick five.
Speaker 1: Pick five. Julio Jones. Julio Jones. Juleio Jones is half
Speaker 1: PPR venture. He doesn't score touchdowns. If you want to
Speaker 1: take him half PVR, that's fine. You could take PR.
Speaker 1: Would definitely take a job, that's fine. I mean he
Speaker 1: was still he was still great this year. In Who's
Speaker 1: Julio Jones finishes wide receiver three. As we mentioned earlier,
Speaker 1: if you you want to take him five, that's your pick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, let's go with that. Julio Jones as safe
Speaker 1: as they come, getting a little up there in age,
Speaker 1: though it doesn't worry you at all. I think he's
Speaker 1: got three Matt Ryan and then boys with the Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 1: They still sling, still sling. I think he's got three
Speaker 1: or four really really good years left in him. I'm
Speaker 1: really surprised that, uh, there was a running back on
Speaker 1: the board there that you decided to pass up Alvin Cook.
Speaker 1: He's not as safe. I will not take Dalvin Cook
Speaker 1: in the half PPR. I mentioned this yesterday Kareem Hunt
Speaker 1: is going to be out in Cleveland. I am taking
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb at pick six for the reasons I mentioned yesterday.
Speaker 1: I ran through the analytical stats, uh, the avoided tackles,
Speaker 1: the yards after contact. Nick Chubb is as great as
Speaker 1: they come. The Brown's offensive line wasn't great this year.
Speaker 1: Their offense overall wasn't great. Freddy Kitchens h did not
Speaker 1: do a good job. That's why he got fired. I
Speaker 1: expect they'll bring in a coach that again, this is
Speaker 1: a constant theme, like the Cowboys. A lot of these
Speaker 1: teams that fired fired their coach or are expected to
Speaker 1: hopefully could get the best out of their weapons. And
Speaker 1: I think that they can do that with Nick Chubb.
Speaker 1: He is pick six for me Europe. For pick seven,
Speaker 1: then I would go with Dalvin Cook. Dalvin Cook it
Speaker 1: pick seven, Yeah, I think that makes sense. I mean
Speaker 1: I would go Cook before Chubb. But at six seven
Speaker 1: you could go at whichever you want. I think you
Speaker 1: can't go wrong there. So let's go to eight. Pick eight.
Speaker 1: Here meeting up a little Julio in your top seven. Julio, No,
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be in my top seven. I would. I
Speaker 1: would take down I would take Dalvin Cook and Nick
Speaker 1: Chubb both over Julio and who who I'm about to
Speaker 1: take with pick eight, I would also take over Julio Jones,
Speaker 1: and that is DeAndre Hopkins. I just think that, you know,
Speaker 1: he's just as safe, but the touchdown upside is higher.
Speaker 1: I think he has a better quarterback into Shaun Watson,
Speaker 1: a little bit younger than Julio Jones as well, UM
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about injury concerns as Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I think you're literally splitting hairs. But for me,
Speaker 1: I think DeAndre Hopkins is a little bit safer, so
Speaker 1: I'll take him over Julio Jones at pick eight. You're
Speaker 1: up for pick nine. We have Zeke in the top
Speaker 1: eight already, right to see Yeah, c mc Zeke, Michael Thomas,
Speaker 1: say Kwan, Julio Jones, Nick Chubb, Dalvin Cook, DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: is beautiful to me. That great top eight, great top eight, nine, leven,
Speaker 1: twelve gets tough. I this is where you could start
Speaker 1: thinking about lam On Jackson, but I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1: Neither would I. I think only Greg suspens here if
Speaker 1: he's at home watching yelling at TV. What about Jacks?
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna be all of that. Um, I
Speaker 1: think I would go with who's the running back that
Speaker 1: I feel like? Alvin Kamara. I think that makes sense.
Speaker 1: He slid too far. You could argue that he probably
Speaker 1: should go even earlier. But we had an extensive conversation
Speaker 1: about Kamara yesterday and how the touchdowns should bounce back
Speaker 1: for him heading into next year. We see who the
Speaker 1: quarterback is, whether it's Drew Brees, whether it's Teddy Bridgewater,
Speaker 1: if Drew Brees decides to retire, but Alvin Kamara, one
Speaker 1: of the most explosive running backs in the league, receptions
Speaker 1: in three straight seasons. Hard to argue with that war
Speaker 1: either this is where this is probably where the draft
Speaker 1: really begins. I think that's the top nine all makes
Speaker 1: a lot of sense, and then you could pretty much
Speaker 1: just make the argument for like ten different players at
Speaker 1: this point. Now at this point to this is where things.
Speaker 1: It depends on where players on on their teams. Okay,
Speaker 1: because if now Melvin Gordon, he's gone, yeah, right, mostly
Speaker 1: like if he ends up in Kansas City, he's a
Speaker 1: first round pick. But I might even take Eckler before him.
Speaker 1: That makes sense too. If Eckler's alone on the Chargers.
Speaker 1: Now Rivers probably is not there either. We're talking about
Speaker 1: a new quarterback. Maybe Tyrod Taylor is the backup. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would be interesting, but I think Eckler. No matter what,
Speaker 1: Let's round out this top twelve. I'm gonna take Davanta Adams.
Speaker 1: He was my guy this year top ten pick. I'm
Speaker 1: going back to the well with Davanta Adams. I think
Speaker 1: once he returned from injury, you were reminded of the
Speaker 1: upside the target share of the air yards. I'll be
Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns every single week. Once again, Davante Adams picked.
Speaker 1: You're up at pick eleven. We got one minute left.
Speaker 1: Let's round out this top twelve first round pick eleven,
Speaker 1: I am going to go with um Am I missing
Speaker 1: any wire receivers here, No, I'm gonna go with If
Speaker 1: Eckler is by himself in Los Angeles, I'll probably take
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler. Austin Ekeler, Yeah, I mean, I don't think
Speaker 1: that Melvin Gordon is gonna be back with this team now,
Speaker 1: all the contract disputes that they had, they might bring
Speaker 1: someone else in to compliment Austin Ekeler. But you saw
Speaker 1: many catches he had this year, how many receptions, how
Speaker 1: explosive he is as well. He's almost kind of like
Speaker 1: a mini Alvin Kamara right for the Los Angelos Chargers.
Speaker 1: So I think that makes sense. Pick eleven is Austin Ekeler,
Speaker 1: and I will round out the first round draft with
Speaker 1: my boy Chris Godwin of the Tampa Bay Bucks. All
Speaker 1: of the past volume. We'll see who the quarterback is
Speaker 1: next year. I think Godwin gets even better in year
Speaker 1: two of Bruce Arians offense. Don't go anywhere. We'll be
Speaker 1: back with our New Year's resolution for fantasy football in
Speaker 1: you know, as an allergy, suffer your wired differently. I
Speaker 1: sure feel that way. That's why there's nasichord. It's different

Speaker 1: The last segment of nineteen, we rounded out our first
Speaker 1: round draft for a lot depends on a lot of things, though,
Speaker 1: like when we missed some guys like Mixing had a
Speaker 1: great year. Sobody mentioned on the chat. I think that
Speaker 1: he's gonna go in this area on the swing. But
Speaker 1: there's a lot of players that you're gonna be able
Speaker 1: to make the argument. Just to recap, Christian McCaffrey first overall,
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott, Michael Thomas, say, Kwon Barkley, Julio Jones, Nick Chubb,
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, DeAndre Hopkins, Alvin Kamara, Davante Adams, Austin Ekeler,
Speaker 1: and Chris Godwin. Some players that just missed the cut.
Speaker 1: Maybe they should have been in this top twelve. What
Speaker 1: say you? Let us know in the comments tweet at
Speaker 1: us at Road Underscore Frank at the Closer Fight seven,
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill not in the top twelve here, Mike Evans
Speaker 1: not in the top twelve, Aaron Jones, no Joe Mixon,
Speaker 1: no Lamar Jackson, no Derrick Henry. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: players that you can make arguments here that should be
Speaker 1: in the top twelve. I think if you're drafting at
Speaker 1: the back end of the first round next year, it's
Speaker 1: it's I don't think it's that tough. I think there's
Speaker 1: a lot of talent there. Look at all the players
Speaker 1: you know we just rounded up. I think there's legitimately
Speaker 1: twenty players that you can argue should be first round picks.
Speaker 1: I mean, Lamar Jackson could even be there. So. But
Speaker 1: here's my problem with it is that, you know, like
Speaker 1: the one receiver class, if you notice, it's all the
Speaker 1: shame guys. It all depends if they got hurt or not.
Speaker 1: The guys who got hurt fell off the board. Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill should be a first round pick. I mean when
Speaker 1: he came back, he kept doing what he was doing.
Speaker 1: All the best wire receivers stay the best wire receivers
Speaker 1: for years pretty much. I mean it's the same names
Speaker 1: over Nover, DeAndre Hopkins, Michael Thomas. We didn't even mention
Speaker 1: tight ends. You make an argument, I don't know, for Kelsey, Yeah,
Speaker 1: George Kittle, all right, Kelsey, you can make the orgum
Speaker 1: for earth No. Uh Kittle, Yeah you can. And I
Speaker 1: brought this up to Greg recently. I really think come
Speaker 1: next year, the Miles Sanders hype throughout training is gonna
Speaker 1: it's gonna get crazy, and that's he's gonna end up
Speaker 1: being a borderline first round pick. I really do think
Speaker 1: that he's gonna get pushed up that far, and you
Speaker 1: might be right. That's the thing. That's why this is
Speaker 1: why I like to go wide receivers very early, because
Speaker 1: I feel like this safe and it's the same guys.
Speaker 1: If you look, we're talking about the same guys. But
Speaker 1: if you look at running back Aaron Jones, uh Derrick Henry,
Speaker 1: these are all guys that cracked the top five. Now
Speaker 1: you want to drift him in the first round a little?
Speaker 1: Do you have a new Year's resolution? We got twenty
Speaker 1: seconds left Utah for fantasy. Don't be so hung up
Speaker 1: on PPR running backs. Yeah, there you go, don't you know?
Speaker 1: Go back to Derek, go back to Josh Jacob and
Speaker 1: Nick Chung. He is the closer, Chris venture I am
Speaker 1: Frank sample Thank you so much for watching and supporting
Speaker 1: the BFFs throughout the twenty nineteen year. We even better
