20
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,399

00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: for many many years, going all the way back to

24
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: the beginning, John the Commissioner, Habermeyer and many others. And

25
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: it's been a it's been really an honor to have

26
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: done this for thirty years and so much fun. And

27
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: you'd never never would I have believed in nineteen ninety

28
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: five if you'd ask me, you know, are you gonna do?

29
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: Are you gonna do every show for thirty years? And

30
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: this thing is still going to be around in twenty

31
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: twenty four, I'm like, no way.

32
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty four wasn't a real year back there.

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: It really wasn't, ye know. It was like that's it.

34
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: I thought we'd be in jet packs. Yeah, we'd be

35
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: doing this thing from a satellite somewhere.

36
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 3: Brian, you gotta be on like ten years now, right.

37
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,480

00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 4: tenured host of all time.

39
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: I think I am. I'm only a year behind thirteen. Yeh,

40
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,079

42
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,240

00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 4: And just from the bottom of my heart from a listener,

56
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,639

00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I appreciate that so much. Coming

59
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: up over the course of the show, the one thing

60
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: you need to know about each team's offseason. If you've

61
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: been sleeping through the offseason a little bit or otherwise

62
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: having a life, we're gonna get you up to speed

63
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: on the key thing you need to know from each team.

64
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 1: We're gonna go through our peacock offs something we've done

65
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: every preseason now for many years, where we give bold

66
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: predictions that we hope to peacock with. Later, you're gonna

67
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: get tired of hearing tired of hearing that. Yeah, I

68
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: think over the course of the peacock off, we'll talk

69
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: about some of the players that we love but hate

70
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: the ADP love the player, but don't like the draft position.

71
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: Identify those we've got sleepers, We've got our black list,

72
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: players that we are not drafting. Three tough questions and

73
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: so much more to get to over this are Now

74
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: we're back to our long extended editions of Fantasy Football Weekly.

75
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's jump in the one thing you need

76
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: to know about each team's offseason, Matt. We begin with

77
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills.

78
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have a completely new wide receiver room. Stefan

79
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: Diggs and Abe Davis, they're gone right now. The top

80
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: of their wide receiver depth chart is Khalil Shakir, Rookie

81
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: Keon Coleman, and Curtis Samuel. Then there's also Mac Hollins

82
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: and Marquez Veldez, Scantling and kJ Hamler and Chase Claypool

83
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 3: and actually a bunch of other dudes. They have twelve

84
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,679
Speaker 3: wide receivers in camp right now, which means the search

85
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 3: is not over for the right wide receiver in Buffalo.

86
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: No, and a bunch of those all play slot as well,

87
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: and so I think it's going to be tricky to

88
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: find fantasy value there. I know we're going to talk

89
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: about one of those guys in detail later in this show, Brian,

90
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Miami Dolphins. The one thing we

91
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: need to know about their offseason.

92
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 4: Will was once the most famous Smith to go to Miami,

93
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 4: but that is now John U.

94
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, baby, John new Smith.

95
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 4: I had to pick John Smith for the one thing

96
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 4: to talk about the Dolphins. We don't want to talk

97
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 4: about Tua and Tyree Hill and Wadley's Johnny John, Yes,

98
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 4: Johnny John Hu. The Dolphins haven't approved of this. I

99
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 4: knew you would. Pants are already off. You're dry humping like.

100
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: A okay, let's not let's not go quite that far,

101
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: all right, Well, he scores in week one, you will

102
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: be right then you say it or when when? So

103
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: guarantee when he scores in with week one, I'll remember

104
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: to bet that the pants will be in orbit.

105
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 4: Bet that any time touchdown, I gotta remember that but

106
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 4: Dolphins haven't utilized tight ends much in recent years, much

107
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: to the chagrin of my Durham smite sleeper call last year.

108
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 4: But uh, John, who is a freak in a good

109
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 4: way and at tight end twenty three? Why not right?

110
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 4: Charge tight end twenty three?

111
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: Johnny, you know what you're getting in John Nosmith because

112
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: I've talked about him for three years now. Incredible athlete,

113
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: fast is periodically back in this Tennessee days they would

114
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: give him handoffs out of the backfield. I mean, he

115
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: is just, you know, the athleticism off the charts, just

116
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: waiting for some team to put him in a spot

117
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: to utilize him a little better than he's been used

118
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 1: to this point. Let's go to the New York Jets.

119
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: You know Aaron Rodgers is back, but you may not

120
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: remember that they quietly signed former Charger receiver Williams. And

121
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: you know he's off the radar because he blew out

122
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: his ACL last year and then the team cut him,

123
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: and then he quietly signed with the With with the Jets.

124
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 3: He's on the pup list right now. He just came

125
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 3: off the pup list like Yester.

126
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: Okay, they go just off the pup list. Now he

127
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: might be available Week one or the ACL way back

128
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: in September. So wouldn't be surprised if Mike Williams, maybe

129
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: maybe not doing all the reps in Week one, is

130
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: the starting wide receiver for the Jets. But I wouldn't

131
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: be surprised to be the starter for the Jets. And

132
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: somebody are going to be able to get Uber cheap

133
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: if you're so inclined, if you want one of Aaron

134
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: Rodgers off starting wideouts basically for free. Sup All right,

135
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: let's go to the new England Patriots.

136
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 3: Man Bill Belichick and Mac Jones are gone, Alex van

137
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 3: Pelt is the new offensive coordinator, and Jacoby Burssett is

138
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 3: slated to start a quarterback with Drake May waiting his turn.

139
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 3: But in my mind, outside of Ramandre Stevenson, there probably

140
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 3: won't be any other Patriots on standard fantasy rosters this

141
00:06:58,960 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 3: draft season.

142
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: We'll be talking more about Alex van Pelt later. You

143
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: probably didn't think we were going to deep dive Alex

144
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: van Pelt, but it's coming. Let's go to the Baltimore Ravens.

145
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 4: Brian, you got to talk about King Henry now when

146
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 4: we're talking the Ravens still twenty touchdown potential in this

147
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 4: offense in my mind, even at his age, and maybe

148
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 4: three down back potential. Here's a quote from Ravens offensive

149
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 4: coordinator Todd Don't call me Art Monkin when talking about

150
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 4: Derek Henry. To me, he's a really versatile player, not

151
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 4: only running the ball, but getting the ball in space

152
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 4: and throwing him the ball and getting him out on

153
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,559
Speaker 4: the perimeter and see if some of your defensive backs

154
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 4: can tackle him. So if he deploys Henry in that way,

155
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 4: that is a first round draft capital. He's going in

156
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 4: the third right now. So I think in the third

157
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 4: he's going too late. I think he's a slam dunk

158
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 4: pick in the second round.

159
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: He's starting to trend into the second round a lot

160
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: of drafts, and we'll be monitoring that closely. And I

161
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: know you're a little later in the show, you're going

162
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: to talk about another Baltimore running a little bit later,

163
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: let's go to the Land. Brown's the one thing you

164
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: need to know about this team's offseason. And obviously we're

165
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: tracking Nick Chubb's rehab process. But you may not remember

166
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: their draft day acquisition of Jerry Judy. I think it

167
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: was draft day. It could be wrong. The Browns acquired

168
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: him for a couple of Day three picks and subsequently

169
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: signed him to a three year extension. So they obviously

170
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: like Jerry Judy and he's probably going to start. This

171
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: is not a team that was deep at the receiver position,

172
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: and based on the contract, it would suggest that he's

173
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: going to be a starter. He found himself in Sean

174
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: Payton's voluminous mansion like doghouse, and Judy couldn't get out

175
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: of that. Now he gets a fresh start and he's

176
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: starting opposite Amari Cooper. Another starter you can get almost

177
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: for free.

178
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: I like the idea of a really big doghouse. That's

179
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 3: a mansion that's fun to me.

180
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, in Denver. In Denver, maybe it's the size of

181
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's old house with the fourteen toilets.

182
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: Hey, let's talk about Russell Wilson. Yeah, good call, nice,

183
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 3: let's do it. He's the starting quarterback in Pittsburgh. Now

184
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 3: Justin Fields is the backup at this point. They said

185
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 3: so as much over the weekend where they were talking

186
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: about yeh, Russell's the number one and Fields is the

187
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 3: number two. They also moved on from Deontay Johnson leaving,

188
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 3: really just George Pickens as the clear wide receiver one

189
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 3: in the steel City and then a bunch of other guys.

190
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a fascinating one to watch. I

191
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: think the Steelers are a sneaky, really good team. They

192
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: already had one of the best defenses in the league.

193
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: They've been way down by awful quarterbacking ever since been retired.

194
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: I just I get the feeling that offense and that

195
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: whole team is just sitting on a much better season.

196
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: They can just get competing quarterback in which for us

197
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: can bring.

198
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: They are picked to finish last in the AFC March, I'm.

199
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: Taking the over. Yeah, Cincinnati Bengals while we're staying in

200
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: the NFC North Bryan. One thing to know about their offseason.

201
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow will be good to go after rists surgery

202
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 4: that ended his season prematurely last year. T Higgins's back

203
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 4: the franchise tag. But I want to know who will

204
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 4: be the third receiving option for the Bengals. People are

205
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 4: excited about rookie Jermaine Burton, second year receiver Andre Iosa.

206
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: Bus that's my guy.

207
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 4: I was about saying, I wish Scott was here. To

208
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 4: correct me.

209
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 3: But you guys people call him Yoshi.

210
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 4: I believe I like that. I'm gonna go with that

211
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 4: from now.

212
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: We probably need a Yoshi button. Now.

213
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 4: I know likes Yoshi too. I'm pretty sure that.

214
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember that robe he lays an egg

215
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: a perfect well, let's hope he doesn't play an egg.

216
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 3: We don't want Yoshi laying eggs. He spit eggs too, right, Oh,

217
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 3: he could spit him out.

218
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: Eggs just pouring out of Yoshi some egxcellent performance.

219
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 3: Yoshi's kind of gross.

220
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 4: I'm just thinking of that. I think you should leave

221
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 4: eggs all right. Back to what were we talking about?

222
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, the Bengals.

223
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: That sales receiver tight end, Mike Kasiki.

224
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 4: I'm a little intrigued by Mike Siki. Uh In sinci now,

225
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 4: so I bet turns into a He's more of a

226
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 4: wide receiver anyway than a tight ends A little bit little.

227
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 4: I'm intrigued by him. He's he's virtually free as well.

228
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: He's going to be a take a chance on me guy.

229
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: That'll pop up a couple of times this year in

230
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: the in Houston. Everybody knows about Stefan Diggs showing up

231
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: there and complicating that receiver room. But maybe you didn't notice.

232
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon is now the presumptive starting running back. To

233
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: my eyes, Mixon looked cooked last year. Let me put

234
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: some numbers to that. Oh, do you want to put

235
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: numbers to that? Because we're gonna talk a lot about

236
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon later. We'll hold on and the cooked portion

237
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: then you can chime in. All right, Well, rest ashured.

238
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,599
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about Joe Mixon in a minute. Yeah,

239
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars, Matt.

240
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 3: Calvin Ridley, he's gone and he's being replaced by Gabe

241
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 3: Davis and rookie first rounder Brian Thomas Junior. Thomas is

242
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 3: six four to two oh five and it's pretty good speed.

243
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 3: He was second on the depth chart at LSU, behind

244
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 3: Malik Neighbors, but he could be the primary option for

245
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence in short order, and Lawrence had a pretty

246
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 3: good average depth of target last year. Brian Thomas Junior

247
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 3: is a pretty interesting rookie player.

248
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: I'm interested. Bigger, bigger body, and a lot of opportunity

249
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: potentially like it.

250
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 4: I've never done that before. I always Yeah, people are.

251
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: Calling him fish of you right there.

252
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 4: People are calling him a BTJ now, So I just

253
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 4: need him to work an X in there and then

254
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,599
Speaker 4: I can sell my Twitter handle to him when he

255
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 4: signs his second contract. That got it all figured out.

256
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 3: He plays the X receiver.

257
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: Oh perfect, btx J. You can follow Brian on Twitter

258
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: at BTXJ.

259
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 3: Well at least for now, and then it'll be a

260
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas Juniors. He sells it.

261
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: I think next up is the Tennessee Titans. Calvin Ridley

262
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: come back to me real quick on the court.

263
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 4: Sorry, no worries. Josh Downs Wide receiver Josh Downs recently

264
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 4: went down with a high ankle spring He's out at

265
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 4: least six weeks. That's a big bump for a Donnie

266
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 4: Mitchell and Alec Pierce. People might have forgotten about Alec Pierce,

267
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 4: who I think ran the most miles on the field

268
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 4: last year. Yeah remember that it was the most cardio

269
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 4: of ascular fit player in the NFL. But yeah, Josh

270
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 4: Downs is going to miss some time and coming back

271
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 4: from a high ankle that takes some time, and the

272
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 4: Colts are still going to want to run the ball

273
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 4: a lot. So I'm kind of just out on Downs

274
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 4: and even I'm not buying the dip put it that way.

275
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: Now, the Titans, Yeah, afore mentioned Calvin Ridley signed up

276
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: what I considered be a stunning ninety two million dollar deal.

277
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: I agree, I do not that despite the incredibly inconsistent

278
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: season that he had in Jacksonville last year, new head

279
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: coach Brian Callahan says that he'll use Ridley in much

280
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: the same fashion that he used Jamar Chase. So we

281
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: like that because Callahan was the offensive coordinator there. It's

282
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: worth noting that DeAndre Hopkins is going to miss a

283
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: much much of the preseason with injury, and he's also

284
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: thirty two years old, so Ridley could roll into the

285
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: season as the undisputed number one receiver for Tennessee. Let's

286
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: go to the Kansas City Chiefs. So what's the one

287
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: thing we need to know?

288
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: The Super Bowl champs added a few new weapons to

289
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 3: the offense. Marquise Brown comes over on one year deal

290
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 3: from the Cardinals, and first round rookie Xavier Worthy, who's

291
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: one of the fastest wide receivers in the league. The

292
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 3: problem is is he's super small, and I just don't

293
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 3: foresee Worthy or Marquise Brownie clipsing Rashi Rice is the

294
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 3: preferred target unless Rice ends up facing suspension or in

295
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 3: jail for driving cars poorly.

296
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: Rishie Earnhardt Rice as we like to call him, poorly

297
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: and fast. Let's go to the Las Vegas Raiders, Brian.

298
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 4: I want to know who the quarterback is going to

299
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 4: be in Vegas? Is this gonna be? Is it gonna

300
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 4: be Aiden O'Connell or Gardner Minshew because they have weapons

301
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 4: now in Las Vegas, starting with Devonte Adams. I've always

302
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 4: liked Jacobe Myers. He is legit, and now they got

303
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 4: phenom tight end Brock Powers, who's not going to play

304
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 4: much tight end in my opinion. He's more of a

305
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 4: wide receiver. So is it gonna be Minshew or Aiden O'Connell.

306
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 4: This is the one quarterback battle I am truly watching

307
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 4: because I think there's some serious late round value whoever

308
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 4: wins this job.

309
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: For the rooting for Minshew from a fantasy standpoint, for sure.

310
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 4: I'm room for AOC the rookie. I mean, I think

311
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 4: he's We've seen what minch you can offer. He can

312
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 4: give you a sweet mullet and jorts, and we've seen

313
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 4: his ceiling.

314
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: Almost a playoff berth for the cold third game away

315
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: from making the playoffs. Minshu's at least capable, and maybe

316
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm being tainted by eight and O'Connell getting shut out

317
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: by the Vikings, and I just don't see any upside

318
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: with him.

319
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 3: Antonio Pierce started one quarterback as a coach, that was eight,

320
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 3: and O'Connell he started all nine of Antonio Pierce's head

321
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 3: coaching games last year and they went five and four

322
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 3: in that time.

323
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: So all right, we got two more to get to

324
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: before we take a break. Denver Broncos. After jettisoning Russell Wilson,

325
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: the Broncos starting quarterback situation is unsettled. We've got rookie

326
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: bow Knicks battling journeyman Jared Stidham, and I don't think

327
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson's really in this battle at all, but I'll

328
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: know he's on roster. Most assumed that bow Nick's draft

329
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: equity alone will make him the starter before long, maybe

330
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: even as early as Week one. We'll watch that as

331
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: it as it goes. Zach Wilson getting third team reps

332
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: and the final AFC team we'll talk about before we

333
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: take a break. The Los Angeles.

334
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 3: Chargers, everyone but justin Airbear is gone Austin Eckler, Keenan Allen,

335
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 3: Mike Williams all gone, new coach Jim Harbaugh, new running

336
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 3: backs Gus Edwards, JK. Dobbins and Kamani Vidal, new wide

337
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 3: receivers and rookie Lad McConkie and DJ Shark. Even the

338
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 3: tight ends are new, Will Disley and Hayden Hurst. The

339
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 3: question will be how all these new pieces gel in

340
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 3: Los Angeles with the Airbear.

341
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about at least one of those players

342
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: extensively later on in this show as well. It seems

343
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: to be the reoccurring theme here. If you're anywhere near

344

350
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: NFC teams the one thing you need to know about

00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: their off seasons when we return to Fantasy Football Weekly.

352
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchy and Matt Harrison,

353

Speaker 1: Brian Johnson with you thirtieth anniversary edition. This week, we're

354
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: talking through all the things you need to know about

355
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: each team's offseason. Before I get there, let me mention

356
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: Guillotine Leagues dot Com now open for the twenty twenty

357
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: four season, and two very important things to mention. Number one,

358
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: totally revamped app and desktop experience much much better, smoother,

359
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: better looking, easier to run. You're gonna love those. And

360
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: private leagues totally free first time ever. Yes, very exciting.

361
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: So maybe you know if the cost has ever held

362
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: you back, now's the time to jump in and go

363
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: get a sample Guillotine League.

364
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 4: Now, I'm gonna say this lovingly. If you were one

365
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 4: of the idiots who was playing Guillotine Leagues, I'm like, Yahoo.

366
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: Yeah right, why do that stop?

367
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 4: Right? I mean you never stood up in the first place,

368
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 4: didn't You couldn't pay me a million dollars to play

369
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 4: a guetegan Yahoo? It's like, oh, let me do eight

370
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 4: hours of work every week.

371
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 3: Right, Brian's fired up. I love it.

372
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm allowed to bash y'ah.

373
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 3: Right, you can do whatever it's yeah, yeah, you can.

374
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: You can make generic sites kind of work for this format.

375
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: But we're the site that all we do is Guillotine Leagues.

376
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: That's it's perfectly manicured for your guillotine league. No work

377
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: and tons of bells and whistles that are unique to

378
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: the Guillotine League format Gullotine leagues dot Com. Back to

379
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: the teams and the one thing you know about their

380
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: off seasons. We left off with the NFC. Let's go

381
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,479
Speaker 1: to the Dallas Cowboys.

382
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 4: All right, Well, Jerry Jones doesn't seem to care that

383
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 4: Ceede Lamb is holding out, unsigned and angry great GM

384
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 4: Jerry Jones is, So we'll see what happens there. Hopefully

385
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 4: they signed him. But I'm really looking at the running

386
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 4: back room in Little D. I call it Little D

387
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 4: because the Cowboys are not good. Ezekiel Elliott is back.

388
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 4: Rico Dowdell is the presumed favorite. Royce Freeman has been

389
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 4: turning head favorite.

390
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

391
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 4: I guess he's looked the best in camp, and he

392
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 4: was there last year. I think people are leaning his

393
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 4: way as a starter at but it's really going to

394
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 4: be a split between Zeke and Dowdell most likely maybe

395
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 4: Royce Freeman mixed in. Long story short, I'm out entirely

396
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 4: on this backfield all about the passing game. It's CD

397
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:32,959
Speaker 4: holt up.

398
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: It's go to the Philadelphia Eagles. Their new starting running

399
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 1: back is Saquad Barkley, who crossed enemy lines for a

400
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: bigger pay day and the opportunity to move up about

401
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: thirty one spots in offensive line quality. Can't blame him

402
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 1: for that. Barkley should get plenty of use, hopefully as

403
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: a receiver as well, and the Eagles depth chart at

404
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: running back isn't nearly as cluttered as it has been

405
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: in previous years. Right, so there's Kenneth Gain Well, then

406
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: there's the rookie will Shipley, who does not really look

407
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: to be much of a factor here. Barkley could be

408
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: looking at a workhorse season, but you know, inside the

409
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: three four yard line, what's gonna happen? All tush pushes

410
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: baby m That's a limiting factor for his upside. Let's

411
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: go to the Giants, Matt.

412
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 3: The Giants actually made a lot of offseason move The

413
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 3: biggest one was getting edge rusher Brian Burns. But let's

414
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 3: talk about the offense. Saquon out, Devin Singletary in, Drew

415
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 3: Locke is in as the backup quarterback, and if Daniel

416
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 3: Jones and all the videos from this preseason or any

417
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 3: indication Drew Locke might get some play this year. John

418
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 3: Runyon was brought into bolster the O line, and Malik

419
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 3: Neighbors is the best wide receiver the Giants have had

420
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 3: since Odell Beckham.

421
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, he looks extremely promising. I've got a fantasy league.

422
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to choose between Malik Neighbors and Marvin Harrison,

423
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: and I don't in a dynasty league, and I don't

424
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: know for sure what I'm gonna do yet.

425
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 4: It's just preseason, but they didn't target Neighbors in the

426
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 4: Giants for his preseason game. It's like, come on.

427
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: Maybe they're trying to keep him hidden.

428
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 4: Maybe he hasn't been playing.

429
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 3: No one's gonna figure it out.

430
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Washington Commanders Brian all Right.

431
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 4: Washington took quarterback Jaden Daniels with the second overall pick.

432
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 4: He is listed as the starter. They're not messing around

433
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 4: like they are in New England, and I'm buying Daniels

434
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 4: for Offensive Rookie of the Year at plus five point

435
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 4: fifty uh failed for former Cardinals head coach Cliff Kingsbury

436
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 4: is now the OC in Washington. He is very past friendly.

437
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 4: Daniel Daniels is also very mobile. He has the limit

438
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,719
Speaker 4: the hits he's going to take, though, because he got

439
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 4: knocked around in college quite a bit and they hit

440
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 4: a lot harder in the pros. But Daniels currently going

441
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 4: off the board is QB eleven. That's ahead of rock Perty,

442
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams, who's the favorite to win Offensive Rookie of

443
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 4: the Year. Yeah, Trevor Lawrence.

444
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: So we're going to talk more about it, sure, and

445
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: a little later in this show as well. Let's go

446
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: to the Detroit Lions. Almost no changes to the Lions offense,

447
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: aside from letting go a receiver Josh Reynolds. Khaliff Raymond

448
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: is an intriguing deep sleeper. He's been splitting time with

449
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: Reynolds and you won't have to do that anymore. The

450
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: uptick and playing time could mean Khalif Raymond is like

451
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: a spot fantasy starter. I can see scenarios where he's

452
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: going to be to take a chance on me, guy

453
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: Khalif Raymond this year, and if Jamison Williams can't stay healthy,

454
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: which has been a problem, then Raymond to get even

455
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: more of a bigger role and he could be the

456
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: team's kick returner, which could add some fantasy value as well.

457
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: So a little kerlif Raymond deep steam for you. Let's

458
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: go to our next team, Green Bay Packers. One thing

459
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: to know about their offseason.

460
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 3: Mat biggest change was the Packers sent Aaron Jones packing

461
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 3: and in a rare move, they signed a free agent

462
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 3: to a somewhat big money deal at the running back position.

463
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 3: That would be former Raider Josh Jacobs. I'm not sure

464
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 3: Jacobs is an improvement though, as all of his metrics

465
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 3: suffered in twenty twenty three. Bad miss tackle rate, bad

466
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 3: yards after contact, super high stuff rate. I'm not so

467
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 3: sure that rookie Marshawn Lloyd won't be stealing touches by

468
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 3: the end of the year.

469
00:22:55,119 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: There, and Lloyd is built for fantasy value. You know.

470
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: He is a big, thick, goal line style back and

471
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: he could he could be a workhorse down the road.

472
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 3: Let's hope he's a little bit better than a big,

473
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:12,719
Speaker 3: huge aj Dillon.

474
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 1: Exactly. Yeah, he's I think he's a cut candidate.

475
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 5: He is.

476
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Minnesota Vikings.

477
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 4: Brian, I'm a shocked I'm talking about the Vikings house. Well,

478
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 4: if I want to talk one thing about the Minnesota Vikings.

479
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: What would that be from off season moves? What was

480
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: what's a notable off season move? Right?

481
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 4: Your starting quarterback and a lot of you Viking fans

482
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 4: out there have to deal with it is Sam Donald

483
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 4: who is going to be a screaming value with the

484
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 4: last pick in your draft. This is his first real

485
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,719
Speaker 4: football team he gets to play for, and he has

486
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 4: the best wide receiver in the world. And I am

487
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 4: full on believing in Sam Donald. And there are so

488
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 4: many Vikings fans who want him to fail, which makes

489
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 4: no sense. I'm excited. You want to see Ja McCarthy,

490
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 4: I am too. Rising tide lifts all boats, right Church, Yeah,

491
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 4: you want Donald to succeed. I'm buying he's gonna. I

492
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 4: don't care about the tough schedule. I don't care as

493
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 4: these ghosts. I love Sam Donald. I hope you hear this. Sam,

494
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 4: I believe in you, and lots of others do on

495
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 4: to you.

496
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: Chuch, Sam going off the board as quarterback thirty four?

497
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: Right now? How many NFL teams are there?

498
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 3: I believe thirty two?

499
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: Thirty two? All right, so there's at least one backup

500
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: being taken before starter Sam Donald. All Right, most people

501
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: nationally do not understand that Sam Donald is going to

502
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: be the starter and has a long runway. They're gonna

503
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: ease in JJ McCarthy as long and take as long

504
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: as they need before they feel comfortable getting JJ out there.

505
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 4: Love it.

506
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: Let's go to our next team, the Chicago Bears. A

507
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: really just massive upgrades everywhere around this offense for Chicago, really,

508
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: but you know, this whole assignment, this whole this is

509
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: it's all about one move. So I'm just gonna constrain

510
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: on one thing. It's got to be Caleb Williams. No

511
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: rookie in recent memory has been dropped into a better

512
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: spot to succeed than Caleb Williams has. I mean, you

513
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: get DJ Moore, you get a future Hall of Famer

514
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: in Keenan Allen, you get lottery pick Roma Dunza, you bit,

515
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: you get Williams's big arm, you get the all the

516
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: you know, and the mobility. People aren't talking enough about

517
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams. Of mobility. He's got like five rushing touchdowns

518
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: in him. Maybe this year wouldn't surprise me at all.

519
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: He's he's going to be the first Bear, assuming he

520
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: doesn't get hurt, he'll be the first Bear to throw

521
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: for four thousand years, and he's gonna years yards and

522
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna do it.

523
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 3: In four thousand years.

524
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: Yes, that'd be a bad average. Yeah, I took your

525
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: four thousand years too.

526
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 3: Could you argue that JJ McCarthy was dropped into as good,

527
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 3: if not a better spot.

528
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: But not the starter? So yes, but that is when

529
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: he's dropped. It's a it is a pretty good spot

530
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: for JJ as well. Let's go to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

531
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: Man, they really just re signed everyone on the team,

532
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 3: Mike Evans, Baker Mayfield, Levante David Tristan Wurf's, Chase McLaughlin,

533
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 3: Antoine Winfield. They're basically just running it back from last season.

534
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: So maybe the most interesting fantasy nugget, Chris Godwin is

535
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 3: actually healthy this year and it sounds like they're going

536
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 3: to send him back to run most of his routes

537
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 3: from the slots.

538
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm a big fan of that.

539
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 3: Where he wasn't running last year, and I think it's

540
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 3: going to be a pretty big uptick for Chris Godwin.

541
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 1: This totally agree he's going to be a He's going

542
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: to return to being uber safe catching all those passes,

543
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,959
Speaker 1: intermediate passes over the middle of the field. He's going

544
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,719
Speaker 1: to be a guillotine darling and you're gonna get him.

545
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 3: He's super boring and you can get him just on

546
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 3: the cheap.

547
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: Let's go to the New Orleans Saints.

548
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 4: Brian, this was a tough one to find something to

549
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 4: talk about with this team, so I went with, well,

550
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 4: it's more of a question I'm going to post to you, guys.

551
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 4: Do you remember Jamal Williams the NFL's leading touchdowns.

552
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: Score just too one year removed from being the NFL's

553
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: leading touchdown score.

554
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 4: Of course, that was with Detroit. So people were expecting

555
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 4: some success last year for Williams. He saw none. But uh,

556
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 4: maybe this year will be a rebound here for Williams.

557
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 4: There's some trouble in the running back room for the Saints.

558
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 4: Alvin Kamara is clearly on the downcline. Kendre Miller cannot

559
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 4: stay healthy, he's dealing with a hamstring issue. Coach calling

560
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 4: him out. So Jamal Williams dart throw? Where's that Darrows

561
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 4: down there? God, that's a big dart.

562
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: That's a big dart right there. That hurt Falcons. Obviously,

563
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: the one thing to know, Kirk Cousins is your starting quarterback.

564
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: Some people doubted his ability to return from his torn achilles,

565
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: but all the reports from camp indicate you wouldn't know

566
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: if you didn't know. He looks to be planting perfectly

567
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: well on it. His throwing motion seems to be completely unchanged.

568
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: And remember, Cousins was the NFL passing leader when he

569
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: tore his achilles at the halfway point of last season.

570
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: He was on pace for a five thousand yard passing

571
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: season and forty touchdowns. That would have put him as

572
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: the league MVP or certainly in that conversation last year.

573
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: New offensive coordinator is Zach Robinson a wild card here,

574
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: but there's optim that Cousins will unlock the draft equity

575
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: that this team had poured into Drake London and Kyle

576
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: Pitts as lottery picks of their drafts. I think that's

577
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: going to be the case here. Let's go to the

578
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: Caroline Panthers s Matt.

579
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 3: Dave Kanalis is the new coach. He's credited as reviving

580
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 3: the Bucks offense last season, and he's really trying to

581
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 3: put weapons around Bryce Young. They're trying to see if

582
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 3: they have something here with Bryce Young. They got Deontay

583
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 3: Johnson as the top wide receiver. They drafted wide receiver

584
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 3: Xavier or Lagette with the last pick of the first round,

585
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 3: and running back Jonathan Brooks in the mid second. So

586
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 3: they're really trying to put some weapons around Bryce Young

587
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 3: to see what they have.

588
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: There's some signs that Brooks may come back sooner than

589
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: we thought. You know, he had the November ACL so

590
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, man, I don't it might not

591
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: be till Halloween or something. But there's talk that we

592
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: might see him on the field sooner than later, and

593
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: that would be that'd be great for Jonathan Brooks. Let's

594
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: go to the San Francisco forty nine ers, Brian and

595
00:28:58,560 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: to watch.

596
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 4: Ooh, well, I mean Brandon, Watch well, Brandon Ayuk get traded.

597
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 4: That's what we're watching in San fran right now or

598
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 4: San Jose, wherever they play. If Ayuk does get moved,

599
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 4: that improves the stock of Ricky Parsol, who is a rookie.

600
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 4: But I'm more excited about Juwan Jennings, who is always

601
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 4: on the field. He's a great blocker and he actually

602
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 4: is a pretty good wide receiver. As well. So we'll

603
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 4: see what happens with Ayuk. But if he moves, that's

604
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 4: gonna there's gonna be some butterfly effects across the league. Well,

605
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 4: guess across two teams.

606
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: My worry is any team that can afford to sign

607
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk at this stage of the season is a

608
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: bad team, and they because they have the cap, They've

609
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: got caproom. Bad teams have caprooms and good players every

610
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: big contracts.

611
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 3: Do you want to know who has the most cap

612
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 3: room in the NFL.

613
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: This year, it's it's the forty nine ers.

614
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 3: It's San Francisco forty.

615
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: Yes, I think it is the forty nine ers, but

616
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 1: I think they're also stash and cash for brock perties

617
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: eventual resigning. We'll see.

618
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 4: You know who else has a lot of cap room?

619
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 4: Peyton Manning.

620
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 3: Oh, Hayton man.

621
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 4: He's head, got you sorry.

622
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: The Rams muddied up the fantasy prospects of Kyrone Williams

623
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: by drafting Michigan runner Blake Koram in the third round.

624
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: Korm is a do everything, jack of all trades back

625
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: who could really eat into williams playing time much more

626
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: significantly than last year's guys. Is like Royce Freeman and

627
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,479
Speaker 1: Zach Evans, who are just total non factors. Korm has

628
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: earned strong praise in the preseason from Sean McVay, and

629
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: his past catching and past blocking abilities have been on

630
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: display in training camp. So what's going to be fascinating

631
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: here is, you know, Williams got so much work last

632
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: year because nobody was any good to give the ball to. Blake.

633
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: Korm looks like a massive upgrade. So the question is,

634
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: is Kyron Williams gonna still get the big workload that

635
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: helped him be one of the big fantasy success stories

636
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: of last year.

637
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 4: Would you like to hear my take on this.

638
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: Is it's gonna be a little jaded.

639
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 4: I think I'm no longer cold at least tho it's

640
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 4: been freezing up here in Minnesota.

641
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 3: But oh yeah, Seattle Seahawks matt lots of the same players,

642
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 3: but a completely new coaching staff. New head coach Mike

643
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 3: McDonald brings his funky yamob their style to the defensive

644
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,239
Speaker 3: side of the ball, while Ryan Grubb moves from the

645
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 3: OC at the University of Washington down the road to

646
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 3: the pros to take the same position with the Seahawks.

647
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 3: Grubs offense led Division one last year with three hundred

648
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 3: and sixty nine passing yards per game and.

649
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: Six hundred and thirty nine.

650
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 3: No, three hundred and sixty nine.

651
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: Okay, thank your.

652
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 3: Number dyslexic over there, maybe I guess I am, yes,

653
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 3: all right. And they also featured one belcow running back

654
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 3: in Washington who had two hundred more rushing attempts than

655
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 3: the next guy. So I think that bodes well for

656
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 3: everybody in the Seahawks offense except Zach Sharboney.

657
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: I can't. I'm with you on that. Yeah, although sharbon Ey,

658
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: you know in your two has the right to get better,

659
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: but I still can't muster a lot of enthusiasm. Yeah,

660
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: all right. By the way, what is why mobiya?

661
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 3: Where was that?

662
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 5: Oh?

663
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 3: It's a it was a Michael McDonald, oldest singer of.

664
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: I Got You, Thank thank you?

665
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 5: All right.

666
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: Last team Arizona Cardinals.

667
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 4: Well, this time last year we were virtually drafting no

668
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 4: Cardinals in fantasy. Kyler Murray was hurt, but now we're

669
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 4: looking at Marvin Harrison junior wide receiver nine going late

670
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 4: first early second round, Trey McBride tight end three, Kyler

671
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 4: Murray quarterback seven, high expectations for this Cardinals offense. I'm

672
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 4: just excited to watch it.

673
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: And a reminder is we brought up a lot of

674
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: times in the offseason podcast. In December of last year

675
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: Cardinals were averaging twenty five points per game on offense.

676
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: Massive uptick that you know, you know, across the full

677
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: season that would have ranked them like, I don't know,

678
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: team six or something. We saw real improvement at the

679
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: end of last season for the Cardinals. And now you

680
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: get the talent influx of a guy like Marvin Harrison

681
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: Junior and maybe down the road Trey Benson, and that's

682
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: it becomes an exciting offense in Arizzona. When we come back,

683
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: get ready for a lot of this. Yes, the peak

684
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: cock Off. Yeah, we're gonna give you six bold predictions.

685
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: See if you can follow along with these and if

686
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: you agree, you're gonna find some great values here. When

687
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: we return to Fantasy Football League, it is time for

688
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: the peacock off. We're gonna give you two, four, six, six, Yes,

689
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: six different bold predictions that hope at this time next

690
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: year we will look back and peacock off about our

691
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: great predictions. Now, we went back over the break and

692
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: we looked up our predictions in this segment. Last year,

693
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: let's just say we could they could do a little better.

694
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: We have room, we have room to improve.

695
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 3: We went six or we went five and one.

696
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: I didn't technically, I did not hit with Sam Howell

697
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: finished as a top ten fantasy quarterback. Yeah, I love

698
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: the Sam howelake.

699
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 4: Matt said, that's a draw.

700
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 1: That's enough if it depends a lot on whether or

701
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 1: not your league subtracts points for sacks absorbed and interceptions thrown,

702
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: in which case Sam Howell is a disaster. But just

703
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 1: on sheer yardage.

704
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 4: I think he led the league in hospital balls too.

705
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 1: I think you might have. You might have man Eric

706
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: the Enemy put him in a bad spot. Eric Enemy

707
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: is not even in the league. All right, let's move on, Matt.

708
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: You want to start, give us your first of two

709
00:34:59,320 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: peacock off.

710
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 3: Well, last year my peacock off was Garrett Wilson was

711
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 3: going to finish the year as the top wide receiver

712
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 3: in the league, and then Aaron Rodgers tour his achilles

713
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 3: four snaps into the season. You can put an asterisk

714
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 3: on that, So I'm recycling that take without Rogers. Last year,

715
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 3: Wilson was fourth in the league in targets, but his

716
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 3: targets were so putrid from Zach Wilson, Tim Boyle, and

717
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 3: Trevor Simeon that he could only manage ninety five catches,

718
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 3: just over one thousand yards and only three scores. So

719
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 3: you'd think that his targets remain the same and the

720
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 3: quality of those passes are going to be better. I

721
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 3: think he'll be in a good spot. The average wide

722
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 3: receiver who's had at least one hundred and fifty targets

723
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 3: over the last two years, Hennis has finished with one

724
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 3: hundred and twelve receptions, almost fifteen hundred yards and scored

725
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 3: nine times.

726
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: You don't say nine times times.

727
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 3: If you make it one hundred and sixty targets, it's

728
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 3: close to sixteen hundred yards and almost ten scores. Rogers

729
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 3: top wide receivers have had great touchdown totals. In twenty

730
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 3: twenty two, Christian Watson had seven receiving scores, all came

731
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 3: week ten or later. DeVante Adams had five years of

732
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 3: double digit touchdowns in six years of being a full

733
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 3: starter in Green Bay. So sixteen hundred yards and double

734
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 3: digit touchdowns are almost a lock for Garrett Wilson and

735
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 3: He's going off at wide receiver seven right now. He's

736
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 3: such a good receiver, He's such a good receiver good

737
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 3: He's got as good of a chance to be wide

738
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 3: receiver one as anybody else.

739
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say as anybody else, but I would by talent,

740
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: he could absolutely be wide receiver one. Let's go to Brian,

741
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: your first of two peacock offs.

742
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 4: Speaking of really good wide receivers who have been dealing

743
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 4: with putrid targets, I don't think anyone can top what

744
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 4: Terry McLaurin has dealt with. Terry, poor Terry McLaurin, but

745
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 4: I got him finishing as a top ten wide receiver

746
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 4: this year. Currently going off the board is wide receiver

747
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 4: thirty one.

748
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 3: Yeah.

749
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 4: Over the last four seasons, McLaurin is one of only

750
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 4: six wide receivers to top one thousand yards in each

751
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 4: of those seasons, and also in each of those Terry

752
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 4: was in the bottom third of catchable target rate. Now

753
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 4: that will change this year with Jaden Daniels and hopefully

754
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 4: past friendly offensive coordinator Cliff Kingsbury who I brought up earlier.

755
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 4: Daniels was the only FBS quarterback last year with ten

756
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 4: plus air yards per attempt and a catchable throw rate

757
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 4: of at least eighty percent. In Kingsbury's offense ranked first

758
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 4: the neutral pace and no huddle rate over his four

759
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 4: years in Arizona as head coach. So I'm very excited

760
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 4: about this offense and Terry McLaurin is clearly the top

761
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 4: receiver top ten season in coming.

762
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: My first of two Peacock offs. Ramandre Stevenson, Guys, you know,

763
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: if you've listened to the show for three years, you

764
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: know how I feel about him. I love him. He's

765
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: going to finish as a top ten fantasy runner currently

766
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: going off the board at RB twenty, so I think

767
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: he's going to effectively double his ADP. His new offensive

768
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 1: coordinator is Alex van Pelt. Matt alluded to this earlier.

769
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: Here's what we know about his about Van Pelt from

770
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: his time in Cleveland. Now, granted, Stefanski's got his fingerprints

771
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: all over the Cleveland offense, but Vampell it's been side

772
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: by side with him, so we can draw some comparisons. Hopefully.

773
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: The Browns have ranked in run play percentage in the

774
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: four years with Alex van Pelt there, fourth, sixth, and

775
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: eighth in run play percentage, and then last year Nick

776
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 1: Chubb got hurt and they dropped to seventeenth. Zeke's gone.

777
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,479
Speaker 1: He gets replaced by Antonio Gibson, who brings basically nothing

778
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 1: to the table except pass catching. And while Stevenson did

779
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: fall off last year in productivity and a lot of

780
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: other things, look at the passing offense that they had

781
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: in New England. Defenses didn't have to play to stop Bailey,

782
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: Zappi and Mac Jones. They played just a bottle Uppermandree

783
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: Stevenson and go win your game and go home. Plus

784
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: they were falling behind by these big deficits. Presumably now

785
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: with competent quarterbacking Jacoby Brissett to start the season, maybe

786
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: into Drake may later, the offense will be better, Stevenson

787
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: will get better, and no Ezekiel Elliott to take touchdown

788
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: runs away from Stevenson. I believe he is sitting on

789
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: a top ten fantasy season. All right, Matt, let's go

790
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: to your second of two peacock off charge.

791
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 3: I tried to acquire Zamir White from you this week

792
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 3: before I did the peacock off. It didn't work. In

793
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 3: the four games after Josh Jacobs got hurt last year,

794
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 3: and Zamir White started, he averaged twenty one rushing attempts

795
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 3: per game. By the way, in the five games where

796
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs started with Antonio Pierce as the head coach,

797
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 3: he averaged twenty rushing attempts per game.

798
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 1: Yep, we love volume matt Well.

799
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 3: So my peacock off is Zamir White finishes with the

800
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 3: most rushing attempts and rushing yards in the league this year.

801
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: That's bold. I like it.

802
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 3: Twenty rushing attempts per game. Seems in play that would

803
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 3: be three hundred and forty rushing attempts. But let's be

804
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 3: reasonable and says he only gets three hundred carries. Okay.

805
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 3: Since twenty twenty, there have been seven players with three

806
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 3: hundred plus carries. All but one of them have had

807
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 3: more than fifteen hundred rushing yards. The player who had

808
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 3: the most rushing attempts in the league last year, that

809
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 3: was Derrick Henry, and he only had two eighty or

810
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 3: about sixteen per game. The player who had the most

811
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 3: rushing yards last year was Christian McCaffrey at fourteen fifty nine,

812
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 3: and he's already gonna miss like half the preseason with

813
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,439
Speaker 3: a calf injury. There's one player who has a shot

814
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 3: to have three hundred carries this year, and I think

815
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 3: it's a mere White.

816
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: You know how I feel about do the opposite, right,

817
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: So I'm taking non running backs for several rounds if

818
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 1: I could, just if I can pick my perfect draft,

819
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: it's round five, Romandre Stevenson, who I just talked about,

820
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: Round six, Zamir White. That's to me, they are I

821
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,720
Speaker 1: love these bell cow backs.

822
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 3: So it's not gonna happen at all for you this year.

823
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 3: Because you said it on that.

824
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: I've said it on the air, so it probably won't

825
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 1: go that way. Brian, you're second of two peacock COFs.

826
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 4: This peacock off is probably the cousin of your pea

827
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 4: cock peacock off from last year. I got Will Levis

828
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 4: finishing as a top ten quarterback with the Titans, who

829
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 4: hired Brian Callahan as head coach. Callahan was the Bengals

830
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 4: offensive coordinator over the last five years, where the Bengals

831
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 4: ranked top five and pass rate during his tenure. The

832
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 4: Titans also brought in Calvin Ridley, who you talked about earlier.

833
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 3: Church.

834
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 4: They also brought in Tyler Boyd. They have DeAndre Hopkins,

835
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 4: who is hurt and a little old, but he's not

836
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 4: a dead cat yet in my opinion. And Levis is

837
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 4: a freak athlete, got a cannon arm, very mobile dealing.

838
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 4: Dealt with a toe injury last year that's fully healed.

839
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 4: I'm essentially all in on Will Levis as QB twenty

840
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 4: four in drafts right now. I'm buying in.

841
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: My final peacock off Austin Eckler bounce back coming to

842
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: RB one form in PPR League, specifically currently going off

843
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 1: the board at RB thirty two. Had the high ankle

844
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: spring last year. He was never right. Now he goes

845
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: to Washington, doesn't have to be a workhorse, but he

846
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: is going to catch a ton, catch a ton of passes,

847
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, the dump off stuff from the rookie he

848
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 1: was looking for the safety valve elite receiver, one of

849
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: the best receiving backs of the last decade. And Brian

850
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: Robinson's zero threat to catch any passes there. And Cliff

851
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: Kingsbury loves to throw to runners. He didn't have any

852
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: runners two throw two in Arizona, and he did it anyway,

853
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: averaging right around one hundred running back targets per year.

854
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: Now he's got Austin Eckler. Big PPR season coming for

855
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: Austin Eckler this season when we come back, our number

856
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: two of Fantasy Football Weekly in its thirtieth anniversary episode,

857
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: it is our number two Fantasy Football Weekly, the thirtieth

858
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: anniversary episode thirty years going only back to nineteen ninety five,

859
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: been a podcast for decade. No, no, I think more

860
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 1: than probably more something like that.

861
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 4: That was the first year I played fantasy football. Nineteen

862
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 4: ninety five. Eighth missus O'Hearn, social studies teacher.

863
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: She she had you playing fantasy fit whoever wanted to play,

864
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 1: and she was, you know, she was good looking.

865
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 4: We were shout out to missus O'Har, miss hearn here

866
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 4: out there. She had different colored eyes. My wife is

867
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 4: not gonna like hearing it.

868
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:21,720
Speaker 5: But I was in eighth grade.

869
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: Like Max Schuser, your wife is a thousand miles away from.

870
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 3: You right now and she doesn't listen to the show.

871
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: But anyway, Miss so Hearn, Yeah, years like the green

872
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 1: eye and the blue eyes.

873
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 4: Green eye and the blue eye.

874
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: Oh oh boy.

875
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 3: That way.

876
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,439
Speaker 4: We all got bad grades, I bet, but we wanted

877
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 4: how to play fantasy football. Look at me now, missus O'Hearn.

878
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 1: One of my favorite one of my favorite bands is

879
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 1: called The Bird and the Bee and they did a

880
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: whole cover album of Van Halen's songs that are very

881
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: very different in style than the originals and they're hot

882
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: for teacher by Bird and the Bee is awesome. They

883
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: have a female singer and she's singing it to the teacher.

884
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: It's I'm telling you, it is sensational. Highly recommend to

885
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,439
Speaker 1: take a look for that Bird and the Bee Hot

886
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:07,879
Speaker 1: for teacher.

887
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 5: Nice.

888
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: Trust me on this.

889
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 4: I haven't learned about the Bird and the Bees yet.

890
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: You will you hear this song. This current segment is

891
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 1: players who we who we like? We like the player, Yeah,

892
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: so these are guys that you know. We don't have

893
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 1: a problem with the player, we have a problem with

894
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: where they're being drafted. So we have we have love

895
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 1: in our hearts, but we have hate in our drafts.

896
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 1: Love the player, hate the ADP. I want to begin

897
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. Give me a player you like,

898
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: but you're not going to draft because of where he's going.

899
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 3: I got Josh Allen here. He's the first quarterback off

900
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 3: the board in most drafts. But how can you be

901
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 3: the first quarterback off the board when he has no weapons.

902
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 3: He topped four thousand passing yards and every year he

903
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 3: had Stephan Diggs, but he doesn't have digs. Are they

904
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 3: going to ask him to run more? Maybe he had

905
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 3: fifteen rushing touchdowns last year, more than his previous two

906
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 3: years combined, but his rushing attempts were down, his rushing

907
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 3: yards were down. And I think people believe that James

908
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 3: Cook is good and we'll score more than two touchdowns

909
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 3: on the ground this year. Yes, I do so. The

910
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 3: ADP for Josh Allen is completely reliant on him not

911
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 3: losing a step in the passing game and keeping up

912
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 3: four thousand yards. Yeah, and also scoring ten to fifteen

913
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 3: rushing touchdowns. Again, I just don't see it happening, and

914
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 3: I'll pass on Josh Allen at that ADP.

915
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: I've got Hurts is my number one for all the

916
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,760
Speaker 1: reasons you just said. I think that's a great take. Brian,

917
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 1: love the player, hate the ADP. Who's your quarterback?

918
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 4: Gotta love CJ. Stroud, but I hate the ADP of

919
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 4: QB six going off the board. Near the end of

920
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 4: the sixth round, Stroud smashed his rookie year. We all

921
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 4: saw it. Texans brought in Stefan Diggs to team up

922
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 4: with Nico Collins in a healthy tank Dell, those are

923
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 4: some serious weapons, but Stroud just doesn't offer much rushing upside.

924
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 4: The Texans have a pretty good defense, borderline very good.

925
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 4: Don't see a lot of shootouts there, and they're gonna

926
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 4: want to establish the The price just too high on

927
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 4: Stroud and quarterback is so deep, like it has been

928
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 4: most years, I'm not taking Stroud in the sixth round.

929
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: Well, I have much of the same story to tell

930
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: with Joe Burrow. You know who doesn't like Joe Burrow

931
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: super Bowl quarterback? He's great, but you know he is

932
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: coming off a hand injury that we don't know for

933
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: sure if this is going to affect the velocity of

934
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: his throws or anything else. Probably won't, but even if

935
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't, just a bigger story. And it's much the

936
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: same thing with Stroud. All the quarterbacks going ahead of

937
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,439
Speaker 1: Burrow and Stroud have got rushing upside that Burrow has

938
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: none of. And if I just want an immobile, competent passer,

939
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: I can get Kirk Cousins like eight rounds later or

940
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: Jared Goff eight rounds later, so I just I can't

941
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 1: sink pick ADP pick sixty two into Joe Burrow. Let's

942
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: go to the running back position. Give me a player

943
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: you love but hate the ADP.

944
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 3: I've got Bijon Robinson here. Last year, the Falcons led

945
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 3: the league in running back touches with get this, five

946
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty eight running back touches. Last year, Wow

947
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 3: touched totals were two seventy two for Bijon, two oh

948
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 3: four for Tyler Aljier. But that was Arthur Smith, and

949
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,919
Speaker 3: that was Desmond Ritter, and this year we have Zach

950
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 3: Robinson and Kirk Cousins. No one wants to hear it

951
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 3: when Falcon Zo c Zach Robinson said that Algier's gonna

952
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 3: have a big role in this offense and they're gonna

953
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 3: lean on him. Robinson comes from the Rams and the

954
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 3: McVeigh camp, and while Kyron had Belcow usage last year,

955
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 3: he was the only healthy body in town. Other than that,

956
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 3: the Rams really haven't employed a Bellcow runner since they

957
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 3: murdered Todd Gurley's career. More passing, less running a quality

958
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 3: second running back. How does this equate to Bijon going

959
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 3: off the board at number seven overall, and I've seen

960
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 3: him go as high as number two in some drafts.

961
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 3: I'd rather have Brysse holl or Jonathan Taylor, who I

962
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 3: think get all the work in their respective offenses. So

963
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 3: I'm not going to take Bijon there.

964
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: Timp of the hat to you for taking some highly

965
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: drafted players for this second.

966
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 3: I mean, these are guys we love, but we don't

967
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 3: plan to draft them there.

968
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,720
Speaker 1: Right, You've hit the assignment perfect, Okay, Brian, love the player,

969
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: hate the adpre running back.

970
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 4: Another highly drafter or of going very early running back,

971
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 4: drafted very early running back Jamior Gibbs RB four going

972
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 4: at the one two turn. I just can't pay that

973
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 4: price for a guy who's in a timeshare where he'll

974
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 4: need to score from between the twenties. David Montgomery is

975
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 4: the goal line back in his Troy problem. That is

976
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 4: not going to change. I mean, I am drafting Jamiir

977
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 4: Gibbs and best Ball for the Spike Week potential, but

978
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 4: in he's gonna be a headache in standard leagues and

979
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 4: he scares me to death in Guillotine League.

980
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm not touching there.

981
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 4: Like, I don't know if I want to bid on

982
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 4: Jamior Gibbs unless something happens with David Montgomery. So I

983
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,959
Speaker 4: love you, Jamiro Gibbs. You're very talented, but not until

984
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 4: you are a bellcow will I be drafting you that soon.

985
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: Earlier in the show, Brian you said Derek Henry is

986
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: twenty touchdown upside. Maybe he does, but he's the epitome

987
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 1: of a touchdown dependent player currently going off the board

988
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: in the second round RB ten. Over the past two seasons,

989
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: Henry's played thirty three games and he scored a nineteen

990
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,800
Speaker 1: of them, which is great, but that leaves fourteen other games,

991
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 1: which is a lot of other games, almost half. And

992
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 1: in those games, he averages fifty five rushing yards, sixteen

993
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: receiving yards, endo touchdowns. That's nine Fantasy PPR points per

994
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: Game's that'll get you cut in guillotine. That's gonna hurt

995
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 1: you in a regular format. And while he gets a

996
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: massive upgrade and offensive line that will help him, there's

997
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 1: still reason for concern that all those two thousand carries

998
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: that Derreck Henry has will catch up to him, and

999
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: maybe it all comes together this year. Love the player.

1000
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,919
Speaker 1: He's fringe Hall of Famer right now, fringe. This season

1001
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 1: could catapult him over the top and into into Canton.

1002
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 1: We'll find out. But harb ten in the second rounds

1003
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,720
Speaker 1: just too early for me on a touchdown dependent player.

1004
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: Let's go to the wide receiver position, Matt, give me

1005
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,760
Speaker 1: a player you love but hate the ADP.

1006
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 3: I got Chris o'lave. And this is mostly because of

1007
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:46,760
Speaker 3: Derek Carr.

1008
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 5: Here.

1009
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 3: Olave is going in the mid second round wide receiver thirteen.

1010
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 3: The last two years his two years as a pro,

1011
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 3: he's finished as wide receiver seventeen in PPR. That was

1012
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 3: last year, wide receiver twenty four and twenty twenty two.

1013
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 3: What has substance substantially changed for the better in New

1014
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 3: Orleans to rank him up to thirteen or think that

1015
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,280
Speaker 3: he's got any ceiling higher than this. Yes, he's a

1016
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 3: Pro Football Focus Darling. All the underlying numbers, they're superb.

1017
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,959
Speaker 3: There's not a lot of competition for targets. But Derek

1018
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 3: Carr averaged five point seven air yards on completions last year.

1019
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 3: That's in the neighborhood of Justin Fields Gardner, Minshew, Josh

1020
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 3: Dobbs's who's throwing that deep? And Chris Olave's A dot

1021
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 3: was fourteen point three these numbers just don't jive, so

1022
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 3: it seems easy to crack the code on the Saints offense.

1023
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 3: Just double a lave, especially when he gets deeper than

1024
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 3: ten yards and Carr's going to check down the ball.

1025
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: Brian, give me a player you love but hate the ADP.

1026
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 4: I'm going to bend the rules a little bit and

1027
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 4: give you a two for in DJ Moore and Keenan

1028
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 4: Allen of the Chicago Bears. More going in the third round.

1029
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 4: That's way too rich for my blood. You can get

1030
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 4: Keenan a little later in the fifth. But those who

1031
00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 4: are obviously going to eat into each other's target share

1032
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 4: now enter Romodunza into the mix. Also a rookie quarterback

1033
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 4: in kal of Williams. I'm taking the cheapest wide receiver

1034
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,879
Speaker 4: the three of these, and that's Rome. So I'm out

1035
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 4: on more and I'm out on more and Keenan Allen.

1036
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 4: And I don't know how useful this stat is for

1037
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 4: Romo Dunsay, but it's so insane I'm gonna read it

1038
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:20,399
Speaker 4: real quick. Romo Dunesay ran nine hundred and ninety nine

1039
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:24,240
Speaker 4: routes at Washington over the past two years in college. Jeez,

1040
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 4: Jamison Williams has run nine hundred and fifty three routes

1041
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 4: across his time at Alabama and the Lions over the

1042
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 4: last five years. So if dounsay's in great shape, it's

1043
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 4: check and he knows all the routes.

1044
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 1: There you go, he's outstanding. I'm gonna go with Jalen Waddle,

1045
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: love the player. Don't like the ADP is wide receiver

1046
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: nineteen off the board that's picked thirty six. So we're

1047
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: at the what the very end of the third route.

1048
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: Very good player, he's stuck by the Hall of Famer

1049
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 1: who demands tons of looks Tyreek Hill the last two

1050
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: years one hundred and seventy one and one hundred and

1051
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: seventy targets and that just is not enough volume for Wattle.

1052
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: And because of that, not only does he have low

1053
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: output games with low floors, but also caps a ceiling.

1054
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: You know, we think of Wattle is a big play guy,

1055
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 1: but he only last year he only had really two

1056
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: spike weeks all season, and then adding this and you know,

1057
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't hold up. Miami's end of season stretch.

1058
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 1: Final three Fantasy games Jets, Niners, Browns defenses all top

1059
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: five defenses. I can't take Jalen Wattle at the end

1060
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: of the third round.

1061
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, let's wrap.

1062
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: It up with the tight end position. Give me a

1063
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: tight end you love but hate the ADP.

1064
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 3: I got the tight end who led the league in

1065
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 3: with one hundred and forty three targets and one hundred

1066
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 3: and fourteen receptions last year. That's Evan Angram by far

1067
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 3: and away the best tight end the league in both categories. However,

1068
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 3: four touchdowns last year, that was al Bundy style. That

1069
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 3: was tied with Jimmy Graham, who I forgot was in

1070
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 3: the league last year. Kate Otton, Donald Parhum, Logan Thomas.

1071
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 3: One of Ingram's touchdowns was in Week eighteen, so it

1072
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 3: didn't count for your fantasy team anyway. He's a notorious

1073
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 3: slow starter in his last four years. The earliest date

1074
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 3: on the calendar in which he scored a touchdown October thirtieth. Okay,

1075
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 3: he's going out.

1076
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: I'd like to think that he can break that.

1077
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,360
Speaker 3: He does not know how to score in September or October.

1078
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 4: He's not.

1079
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,479
Speaker 3: It's crazy. He's going off in the sixth round. There's

1080
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 3: just a lot of guys I like better in that range,

1081
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,760
Speaker 3: and those guys also score touchdowns.

1082
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: You and I are different on this one. Seeh I

1083
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: just think with all that usage, the touchdowns are going

1084
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: to come for Evan Ingram. We'll find Mabe Brian give

1085
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: me a tight end you love, but hate the ADP.

1086
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 4: I gotta go back to Detroit. And you gotta love

1087
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 4: Sam Laporter, how could you not? But I hate the

1088
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 4: ADP of tight end one going at the end of

1089
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 4: the third. He's legit, he's great. But the Lions they're

1090
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 4: just so loaded. So there's so much competition for targets.

1091
00:53:57,920 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 4: So I mean tight End one, I mean I can get.

1092
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 4: I can get Travis kelz Mark Andrews Trade McBride a

1093
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 4: little later than Sam Laporter. There's not that much of

1094
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 4: a falloff I would predict. So I'm fading Sammy ballgame

1095
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:09,280
Speaker 4: big time, unfortunately.

1096
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:15,240
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey ADP twenty nine tight End two. Look, everybody

1097
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 1: wants to be on the Taylor train, I guess except me.

1098
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,760
Speaker 1: I'd just I'd rather get out a year too early

1099
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:22,879
Speaker 1: than a year too late on a thirty four year

1100
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 1: old tight end. And we saw the signs of the

1101
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: slowdown last year from Week eleven forward to the end

1102
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,399
Speaker 1: of the regular season, do you guys remember how many

1103
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns Travis Kelcey scored.

1104
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 3: It was pretty low. He was saving himself for the

1105
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 3: offseason or the postseason.

1106
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: Zero yeah, zero, And he did score in the postseason.

1107
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 1: And look, by the way, all last year, you know

1108
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 1: how many times he topped one hundred yards two. I

1109
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: just you know, I think there were signs last year,

1110
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: just the eye test, there were signs last year of

1111
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey slowing down. It's a year later, and the

1112
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: pitch position's got so much depth, and brid just alluded

1113
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: to this. You know, you've got all that big rookie

1114
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: class from last year at tight end. You've got Brock

1115
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: Bauers this year, who's going to be who could be

1116
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: great in his rookie year. You've got the expected bounce

1117
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 1: back of Kyle Pitts. So you know, we've got a

1118
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities to get other players. I don't necessarily

1119
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:21,240
Speaker 1: feel like we need to go hope that Travis Kelsey

1120
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: has got one more year left in him, not at

1121
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: tight end two, not at ADP twenty nine.

1122
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:30,919
Speaker 4: Overall, we mentioned I mentioned him in an offseason show

1123
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:34,320
Speaker 4: just for you Dynasty leaguers. Empire leaguers out there. Jared Wiley,

1124
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 4: rookie tight end for the Chiefs. They say he's Kelsey Lake.

1125
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 4: So all right, there you go, Jared Wiley.

1126
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 1: If you're looking for a different way to play, like

1127
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 1: an Empire League, different way to play, how about the

1128
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 1: anti leagues. We are now open for the twenty twenty

1129
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:52,840
Speaker 1: four season and private leagues first time ever. Totally free,

1130
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:53,959
Speaker 1: totally free.

1131
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 3: Awesome.

1132
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: You've got your regular league. Go take the same team

1133
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 1: owners to shadow Guillotine League, playing both simultaneously. They play

1134
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: totally differently because Guillotine is such a unique experience. As

1135
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: you already know, every week the low scoring team gets chopped,

1136
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 1: all the players go to the waiver wire. There is

1137
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 1: waiver wire pandemonium as people are trying to pick up

1138
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey and other great players. It is such a

1139
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 1: fun way to play. You're gonna love it. Guillotine Leagues

1140
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: dot Com. We'll be back in moments Fantasy Football Welcome

1141
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 1: back Fantasy Football Weekly, thirtieth anniversary edition. Thank you for

1142
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: those of you that have been listening from the beginning.

1143
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 1: There's got to be a few people out there that

1144
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 1: have been listening from the beginning, right so how many

1145
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: episodes is that. Well, it's a little complicated because we

1146
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 1: weren't year round until what about five years ago.

1147
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 3: Well, just like it's about it's about twentyish episodes a year.

1148
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:09,839
Speaker 1: Oh, it's like twenty four or something right at four

1149
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 1: or we got like five preseasons. The preseason shows were

1150
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 1: longer than I don't know, five plus, so I think

1151
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 1: it was.

1152
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 3: Like in like sixteen sixteen weeks the regular season, so

1153
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 3: like twenty twenty one. Yeah, time, so we're about six

1154
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 3: hundred shows.

1155
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 1: In probably probably this is the best of the six hundred.

1156
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, this one easily.

1157
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: Yes. This next segment blacklist players. Yeah, so unlike the

1158
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 1: last segment where it was players who we like, but

1159
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: we're just not drafting them because of their their they're

1160
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 1: draft positions just too high. These are players we don't

1161
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: even care where they're drafted. Basically, you'd have they'd have

1162
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 1: to fall really really hard before we'd even consider these players.

1163
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:49,959
Speaker 3: So it's like hate the player, hate the ADP, hate

1164
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 3: the player.

1165
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 1: Hate the ADP. Let's do a couple of them each, Matt.

1166
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: Let's start with you.

1167
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 3: I got Saquon Barkley here. I think the Giants knew

1168
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 3: what they were getting out of of qualified backs. Last year,

1169
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 3: Barkley ranked thirty four in elusiveness. In two hundred forty

1170
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 3: seven rushing attempts, he only forced thirty one miss tackles.

1171
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,919
Speaker 3: To put that into perspective, James Connor had two hundred

1172
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 3: eight rushing attempts, so forty fewer, and he forced sixty

1173
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 3: miss tackles thirty more.

1174
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: And Saquon remember Saquon is rookie. Yeah, he was the

1175
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 1: closest thing to Barry Sanders We've seen since Barry Sanders.

1176
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 1: He was shattering defender's ankles. That's all gone from Barkley's

1177
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 1: game now sapped away by the high ankle sprains in

1178
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: the ACL. It's sad that that was that was taken

1179
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: from him.

1180
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 3: He averaged three point nine yards per carry last year.

1181
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 3: That was twenty sixth best amongst qualified runners, tied with

1182
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 3: the highly sought after Alexander Madison. And oh, by the way,

1183
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 3: he's going to an Eagles team whose lead back last year,

1184
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:54,959
Speaker 3: DeAndre Swift, averaged zero point eight rushing attempts per game

1185
00:58:55,240 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 3: inside the five and had only five rushing scores because

1186
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 3: of the toush push.

1187
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, the tush push is a huge factor.

1188
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not drafted.

1189
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:04,920
Speaker 1: It's fifteen touchdowns.

1190
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 3: I'm not drafting Barkley at all.

1191
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: Well and certainly not his ADP, which is now he's

1192
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: snuck into the first round. Yeah for Sae Kwon Barkley. Brian,

1193
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 1: give me your first of two blacklist players.

1194
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 4: I did it again. It is the preseason. Hey, I

1195
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 4: flew in from Charlotte. Give me a rat shausted. Yes,

1196
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 4: I am all out on James Cook in the fifth round.

1197
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 4: The Bills had twenty two rushing touchdowns last year. Who

1198
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 4: wants to guess how many James Cook had got too?

1199
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 4: Is not paying attention? All right, Well I used that.

1200
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 3: I used that.

1201
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 4: Those are old notes from on the Old Show. So

1202
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 4: oh well, thanks Matt.

1203
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: Anyway, are you recycling content right now?

1204
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 4: No, I this was an offseason second that I'm just reusing.

1205
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 4: This is a very you are. This is a very

1206
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 4: rough segment for me. We might we might want to

1207
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 4: start over. But anyway, Josh Allen and Robbie's boy rookie

1208
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 4: Ray Davis are going to run for more touchdowns than

1209
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 4: James Cook, who I am not drafting. Number one on

1210
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 4: my black list of players.

1211
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Thor does not like Ray Davis I do. This is

1212
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 1: one of the few times though I disagree with Thor's assessment.

1213
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: I like Ray Davis Monster Kansas City rookie receivers. Xavier

1214
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 1: Worthy is on my black list going off the board

1215
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 1: at wide receiver thirty eight. Track stars almost never convert

1216
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: to reliable NFL wide receivers. I give you John Ross,

1217
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 1: I give you Marquise Goodwin, JJ Nelson, Darius Hayward, bust

1218
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 1: all guys that were track stars turned wide receivers who

1219
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 1: could not make it in the NFL. Now will Xavier

1220
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:45,439
Speaker 1: Worthies crazy speed net him some big games? Yes, he'll

1221
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 1: have some giant receptions. Although we should note Patrick Mahomes'

1222
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 1: depth of throw has gone down every single season of

1223
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 1: his career. He's not throwing bombs like you used to.

1224
01:00:54,600 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 1: Worthy is a raw rookie version of Hollywood Brown. And

1225
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: who's already on roster Hollywood Brown, who's you know?

1226
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 5: Now?

1227
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 1: Three four years into his career? Five this will be

1228
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 1: his fifth year into his career. He's already worked out

1229
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 1: the cakes. Hollywood Brown's with just a better version of

1230
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 1: Xavier Worthy. Now Brown is only on a one year deal.

1231
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: He'll be gone in a year. And maybe next year

1232
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 1: I'll be a lot more interested in Xavier Worthy. But

1233
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 1: you're not gonna know when the when he's going to

1234
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 1: be on the field enough and against which defenses? And

1235
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 1: will he corral a deep ball either? Too many variables.

1236
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 3: He's fourth in the pecking order at best.

1237
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: At best, I'm out on Xavier Worthy wide receiver thirty eight.

1238
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 1: That's wrong, All right, man, Let's go to your second

1239
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 1: of two blacklist players.

1240
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 3: Christian Watson is going off in the sixth round right now.

1241
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 3: It picks sixty eight and now. Mostly, I just wanted

1242
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 3: to use this as a platform to say I don't

1243
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 3: want Packer wide receivers, even though in every draft I've

1244
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 3: completed so far this year, I've walked away with Jordan Love.

1245
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 3: But drafting Watson in the sixth when you could get

1246
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 3: like Romeo Dubs in the ninth, they're Dantavian and the tenth,

1247
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 3: it's just ludicrous, especially when you consider he averaged five

1248
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 3: point eight targets, three catches, and forty seven yards per

1249
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 3: game last year. The Packers have four wide receivers who

1250
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 3: are pretty close in skill. If you need to take one,

1251
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:15,439
Speaker 3: take one of the later two and not the guy

1252
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 3: in the sixth round.

1253
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: M hmm, all right, I'm listening to that. I'm listening

1254
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: to that. Brian, your blacklist player. And by the way,

1255
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:23,479
Speaker 1: we have three each, right, not too we have three.

1256
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 1: We'll get to We'll get to all three. Brian.

1257
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 4: Hey, Siri, turn on Mike. I'm going back to Buffalo.

1258
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 4: We're picking on the Bills. I am. I am not

1259
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 4: drafting Keon Coleman, who, it is absurd is getting drafted

1260
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 4: ahead of Curtis Samuel and Khalila Shakirir Coleman extremely raw

1261
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 4: rookie the Bills. When they switched to Joe Brady as

1262
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 4: their offensive coordinator last year, their passing play percentage plummeted.

1263
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 4: Just don't draft Keon Coleman. This is I can't believe

1264
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 4: that he's getting the highest drafted. He's going first among

1265
01:02:57,720 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 4: Bills wide receivers. I'm like speechless right now.

1266
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 1: Well, just because there's no other wide receiver you would

1267
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 1: want to take for fantasy purpose.

1268
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 4: I like Samuel and shake care at cost I do personally.

1269
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes a player just isn't good and even if there's

1270
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 1: some opportunity I talked earlier, I like Austin Eckler, and

1271
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have an RB one season as

1272
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 1: a PPR back. The guy who I don't like is

1273
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 1: his running mate, Brian Robinson. We've seen two years of

1274
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 1: Brian Robinson. He's just not that good PFF rankings as

1275
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: RB thirty one last year and RB twenty four the

1276
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 1: year before that. He actually got worse last year for

1277
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: a bigger back. Brian Robinson doesn't break tackles. He ranked

1278
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 1: fifty first and twenty second in yards after contact per

1279
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 1: carry the last two years. And then, of course you

1280
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: know he's not gonna catch Austin Eckler's gonna siphon off

1281
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 1: all the receptions there. Washington's offensive line isn't terrible, but

1282
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 1: it's not good enough to open up the big lanes

1283
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 1: that Brian Robinson needs because he does He's not shifty,

1284
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't it moves. He's just a straight ahead guy.

1285
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: He doesn't bring in anything of the table. I'm not

1286
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 1: taking Brian Robinson.

1287
01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:00,920
Speaker 3: He love Eckler and you hate Robinson. I think those

1288
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 3: two things worked together.

1289
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to your third and final Blacklist player, Matt.

1290
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 3: I've got Joe Mixon because when I was looking up

1291
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 3: the stats for Saquon Barkley, Joe Mixon was right by

1292
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 3: him in almost every category. Similarly to Barkley, Mixon had

1293
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 3: a few more rushing attempts last year on a better

1294
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 3: offense than Barkley, by the way, but turned in pretty

1295
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 3: similarly terrible numbers ranked thirty first, and elusiveness on PFF

1296
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 3: just behind those elusive fellows like AJ Dillon and Javonte Williams.

1297
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 3: Thirty one misstackles force tied for twenty sixth in the league.

1298
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 3: Forced a mistackle only twelve percent of his runs. Compare

1299
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 3: that to the guy who just replaced him in Cincy,

1300
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 3: Zach Moss. He forced a misstackle on twenty percent of

1301
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 3: his carries last year. He arrives in a pass first

1302
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 3: Houston team that threw fifty seven percent of the time

1303
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 3: last year and just added Stefan Diggs the eight running

1304
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 3: backs going after Mixon and adp I mean you can

1305
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 3: look him up on your own. IM not going to

1306
01:04:57,840 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 3: list him here. I'd rather have all of them.

1307
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 1: All of them. Look I'm I'm I am so with

1308
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 1: you on this. The catch with mixing is I can't

1309
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 1: say this because I've lost all credibility on anything. Damian

1310
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 1: Pierce related, but Damian Pierce would be the only other

1311
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 1: guy to get a carry there. That's on roster right now.

1312
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 3: I just signed Cam Akers, right, Cam on his second

1313
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 3: achilles and his second achilles.

1314
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 1: Nobody comes back from one achilles. He did well? Bear

1315
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 1: did he? I don't know in the league, but I

1316
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 1: don't know all right, Brian, you're third of three blacklist players.

1317
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 4: This is more of a love the player, hate the ADP.

1318
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 4: But I'm not drafting TJ. Hockinson at all this year.

1319
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 4: It's just because of the knee injury shredded it late

1320
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 4: last year.

1321
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 5: Who is that?

1322
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 4: Who is the Lions player that did it?

1323
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 1: I forget hay Harry's whoever was he blew up someone

1324
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 1: else's knee last year and he's the one who got

1325
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 1: in a fight with neighbors in the guys a d

1326
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 1: bag again.

1327
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 4: Anyway, I'm just out on Hokinson. I know there's encouraging

1328
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 4: reports that's gonna be h Kirby Joseph, that this is

1329
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 4: Kirby Joseph. Clean up your plate, Kirby. It's despicable. Anyway,

1330
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 4: I'm out on Howkinson. They're saying you might come back

1331
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 4: in the first half. I'm just not buying it. And

1332
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 4: if he does come back, he's not gonna be the

1333
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,960
Speaker 4: Hawkinson you want. There's tight ends going after him that

1334
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 4: I'm very high on, Noah Fant, Kate Otten, I like

1335
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 4: Tyler Konklin this year, the afore mentioned John who Smith.

1336
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 4: I'm just even if he comes back, I'm not going

1337
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 4: Hawkinson at tight end sixteen. I don't think he's gonna

1338
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:24,439
Speaker 4: be ready.

1339
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 1: All right. Our final blacklist player Miami running back devon

1340
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 1: Ah Chan running back ten right now, running back ten,

1341
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 1: obviously highlight machine, and when he has those big, big gains,

1342
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be sitting there going, man. I wish I

1343
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:42,440
Speaker 1: had Devon a Chan on my team. And the issue

1344
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 1: isn't that he's not good. The issue is that he's

1345
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: in the most confounding committee backfield in the league. So

1346
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 1: you've got the health issues, right, he's five foot nine,

1347
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 1: he's only one hundred and eighty eight pounds. His durability

1348
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:58,360
Speaker 1: is a huge question mark. And then when you're just

1349
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 1: when you're in a committee as deep as the Miami's

1350
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 1: committee is, it's just some games are gonna be a

1351
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 1: moistered game. Some games it's gonna be rookie Jalen Wright,

1352
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 1: and some days it's gonna be Devon a Chan and

1353
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 1: they're never gonna give a Chan a heavy workload. They

1354
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:16,920
Speaker 1: never will because they know we can't take it. So

1355
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:20,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna be sitting in like this seven eight, nine touch,

1356
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 1: maybe ten to eleven touch gets on a range.

1357
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 3: Obviously, a guy you want to draft is the tenth

1358
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 3: running back off the board, tenth right.

1359
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 1: Exactly, It's not even an ADP thing. I just don't

1360
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna come out of any of my drafts with

1361
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 1: Devon a Chan because he's got you'd have to drop

1362
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 1: so much farther than he would have to. Yes, I'll

1363
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 1: regret at some plays when he has explosive runs, but

1364
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:44,600
Speaker 1: I just think it'll talent totality. Too many dud games

1365
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: coming for him. When we come back, it's our final segment.

1366
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:55,000
Speaker 1: Three Tough Questions, plus will unveil our favorite sleepers. Final

1367

Speaker 1: Matt is at Explosive Output, and Brian is at bt

1371
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 1: x J. This is a segment that we like to

1372
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 1: call three tough Questions. We oftentimes begin.

1373
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 5: With us question number one, what is the one rule

1374
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 5: change every league should institute at this time of year?

1375
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 1: Right, So, if you're gonna make rule changes, you need

1376
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: to do it now in advance of the season. You

1377
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 1: can't just be like, hey, week six, let's change our

1378
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 1: scoring system. Whatever. Give me the one rule change every

1379
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 1: league should be considering adopting right now. Let's begin with Matt.

1380
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:56,800
Speaker 3: I think we do this question every year the first show.

1381
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 1: Yes we do.

1382
01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 3: We always talk about super flex or getting ready to tide,

1383
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:02,759
Speaker 3: vetos are converting to an auction. I'll I think people

1384
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 3: have heard those before. Here's my suggestion. Come up with

1385
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 3: a really clever way to determine your draft order in

1386
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 3: your league. The internet is littered with people like running

1387
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 3: a forty or doing an obstacle course. I saw one

1388
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:21,960
Speaker 3: where everyone drinks a shot glass full of beer every

1389
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 3: minute on the minute, and the last guy standing gets

1390
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:28,719
Speaker 3: gets the first pick.

1391
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a power hour.

1392
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 3: We called it the Century Club. In college, we were

1393
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:36,120
Speaker 3: for one hundred minutes. But that's a.

1394
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 4: Dumb college like a mad idea.

1395
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 1: It is one shots of beer.

1396
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:42,639
Speaker 3: It's it's really hard.

1397
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 1: But do you go to the bathroom in the middle

1398
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 1: of that?

1399
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 3: But you got you got like fifty nine seconds every

1400
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 3: like seventeen year old in history.

1401
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:54,759
Speaker 4: That's easy.

1402
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:55,520
Speaker 5: Absolutely.

1403
01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 4: So we don't condone underage drinking.

1404
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 3: We don't. But but if you're going to do that at

1405
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 3: your draft party, the guy who gets the first pick

1406
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 3: is the guy who's the most drunk, obviously right away.

1407
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 3: So uh but anyway, my point is, make your draft

1408
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 3: party a big thing. Make it memorable. If it's the

1409
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 3: one time of year you see these people in your league.

1410
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 3: Blow it out of the water. Make it fun. Rent

1411
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 3: some stuff like, make a big barbecue out it, make

1412
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 3: it the whole day, have a good time with it.

1413
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 1: Our co host Scott Fish rents a mobile bar yeah, wheels,

1414
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, wheels it into his driveway.

1415
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:30,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, here's his address.

1416
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:34,720
Speaker 1: Whoever, just swing by everybody, Yeah, no problem. Okay, So

1417
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:37,519
Speaker 1: yours is Draft day. Make your Draft day memory.

1418
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 3: Make your draft day huge?

1419
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:41,720
Speaker 1: All right, Brian, what is the one rule change every

1420
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 1: league should institute at this time of year?

1421
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:47,520
Speaker 4: Ditch the kicker and team defense and throw in some IDPs.

1422
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:48,920
Speaker 4: I know, now, I know, there are some people that

1423
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:52,719
Speaker 4: love kickers, and I'm not talking to that small group

1424
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 4: of whack jobs. I'm talking to the people who go

1425
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 4: through the motions. They set up their league and they

1426
01:10:57,400 --> 01:10:59,759
Speaker 4: have kickers and defense because it's like the default settings

1427
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 4: on sites right except enleagues dot com. It's the best site.

1428
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 4: But people think IDP is daunting. It is not. Just

1429
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:11,160
Speaker 4: do one defensive lineman, one linebacker, one defensive back. For

1430
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:15,679
Speaker 4: the linebackers and defensive backs look for tackles, defensive linemen

1431
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,800
Speaker 4: look for sacks. It's just I promise you it's fun.

1432
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 4: You're watching defense more, you have more skin in the game.

1433
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:25,160
Speaker 4: Just give it a shot. Three IDP. It'll change your life.

1434
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:30,439
Speaker 1: And what is a absolute baffler to me, More than half

1435
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 1: of league's are still not using blind bidding for their

1436
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:37,719
Speaker 1: free agent. It's absurd. They're doing reverse order of standings,

1437
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 1: they're doing waiver priority.

1438
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:41,720
Speaker 3: That's also another one that's just the default setting in

1439
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:43,600
Speaker 3: most systems.

1440
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 1: The only fair way to distribute, to distribute free agents,

1441
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 1: and by far the most interesting by a mile, is

1442
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: blind bidding. This is the only way to play. This

1443
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:57,680
Speaker 1: is the one rule change your every single league should have.

1444
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 1: There is no scenario where leage should do anything else, Like,

1445
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 1: we love auctioning, and we think auctions are are really

1446
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:05,759
Speaker 1: really fun, and we highly encourage people to do auctions.

1447
01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 1: Probably should talk auctions more on the show. But some

1448
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 1: leagues are just too casual for that. Some need to

1449
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:13,160
Speaker 1: be online, some need to do it over the course

1450
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: of three weeks whatever. So now everybody can do it. Everybody,

1451
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 1: every single league can do free agent blind bidding.

1452
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 3: Can you imagine a guillotine league with reverse order of standing?

1453
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 3: It would be so dumb, so.

1454
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:32,679
Speaker 1: Dumb, absolutely terrible. Okay, I'm gonna wedge in Tough question

1455
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 1: one point five.

1456
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 5: Tough question number one.

1457
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:41,800
Speaker 1: Point five, What is the rule change to remove from

1458
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 1: your league?

1459
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 3: What's a rule change doing we're making you're taking out,

1460
01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:48,599
Speaker 3: taking out.

1461
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:50,759
Speaker 1: If you're doing this, you're doing it wrong.

1462
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:56,679
Speaker 3: I mean we kind of talked about them. League veto,

1463
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 3: the trade veto trade veto is so dumb. Get rid

1464
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:00,479
Speaker 3: of it.

1465
01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 1: You have to get rid of it.

1466
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 4: That's the one oh one dumb rules.

1467
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 1: It's it is. That's I will never play in a

1468
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 1: league that has trade beveto. Yeah, can't do it, makes sense.

1469
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:11,920
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on.

1470
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 5: Tough Question number two.

1471
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 1: With all the uncertainty around Brandon Ayuk's status in San Francisco,

1472
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 1: are you buying the dip now? He's currently wide receiver fifteen?

1473
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:25,880
Speaker 1: Right now, Brian, we start with you. You're buying the

1474
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 1: dip on Brandon Ayuk.

1475
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:31,640
Speaker 4: I'm a degenerate best ball player. I've been drafting since January.

1476
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:34,120
Speaker 4: My eyes bleed on the regular and I've seen au

1477
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 4: go from the early second Now he's dropped all the

1478
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 4: way to the end of the third round in some draft.

1479
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:40,599
Speaker 4: So you just have to buy that dip. I don't

1480
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 4: care where he ends up and if he stays with

1481
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:45,559
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers yacht see great right, Oh yes,

1482
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 4: I don't care where he goes. We've seen the talent.

1483
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:51,519
Speaker 4: It's their Vikings do it.

1484
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,200
Speaker 1: Vikings have the seventh most cap next year, but they

1485
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 1: got Jordan Addison on a rookie.

1486
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:58,880
Speaker 3: Now I'd rather I don't think paid a lot of

1487
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 3: money for their other wider right they're already deep in

1488
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:03,799
Speaker 3: with Justin Jefferson.

1489
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think that's gonna happen.

1490
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:05,960
Speaker 3: Matt.

1491
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:08,599
Speaker 1: With all the insuranty around brandon i status in San Francisco,

1492
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 1: are you buying the dip.

1493
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 3: The Rumors are that the Patriots offered him thirty two

1494
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:18,120
Speaker 3: million per year, but he didn't like Drake May and

1495
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 3: so the vibe wasn't right there. So now the Patriots

1496
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:24,680
Speaker 3: are out on him. The other teams somewhat involved are Pittsburgh, Cleveland,

1497
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:28,560
Speaker 3: Washington could be involved. To are any of those situations

1498
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 3: better than his role in San fran Not a chance.

1499
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:34,240
Speaker 3: Do you know what team has the most available cap space,

1500
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 3: It's the Niners. They offered him twenty six million. I

1501
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 3: heard he wants twenty eight to stay in San Francisco.

1502
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:43,639
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna figure out a way. I think

1503
01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:45,800
Speaker 3: he's gonna end up playing in San Francisco this year.

1504
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 3: So if you're an Ayuk fan, definitely by the dip.

1505
01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:51,200
Speaker 3: The correct answer is buy the dip, baby.

1506
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:54,559
Speaker 1: The probability is he stays in San Francisco either on

1507
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 1: a new contract or he just plays out this year

1508
01:14:57,640 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 1: because he doesn't have leverage. He's got no leverage. So

1509
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:04,559
Speaker 1: I'm with you, I'm buying the dip. This is a

1510
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:06,960
Speaker 1: player who finished his wide receiver nine last year. I

1511
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:09,160
Speaker 1: can get him at wide receiver fifteen right now. On

1512
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:11,719
Speaker 1: the probability that you know this uncertainty is a perfect

1513
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 1: It's like the stock market. You buy an uncertain times

1514
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:17,160
Speaker 1: to you got to buy low sell high. To buy low,

1515
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:19,600
Speaker 1: you have to buy an uncertainty. We're doing that with

1516
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:21,840
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk and you just raise a great point when

1517
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 1: you talked about the places he could go. They're mostly

1518
01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 1: bad teams with cap space. But I don't think he's

1519
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:29,160
Speaker 1: going to end up on those teams.

1520
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:32,280
Speaker 3: It's this questionable quarterbacking all around on the other spots too.

1521
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:34,840
Speaker 1: So by the way, these are reports that he didn't

1522
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 1: go to to the Patriots because Brandon and I didn't

1523
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 1: like the quarterback. He wants to get paid him thirty

1524
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:47,599
Speaker 1: two million reportedly here. It's his first big contract. That's

1525
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 1: second contract is where you make all the guaranteed money

1526
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 1: and everything right. He wants to get paid. This is

1527
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:54,320
Speaker 1: the contract to which you get paid. It's your third

1528
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:56,680
Speaker 1: or fourth contract where you start getting choosy about who

1529
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:58,680
Speaker 1: you're playing with and what your your legacy is going

1530
01:15:58,720 --> 01:15:59,479
Speaker 1: to be and everything else.

1531
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:03,160
Speaker 5: Not This one a tough question. Number three.

1532
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 1: In a bizarre coincidence, the first two players taken in

1533
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 1: this year's NFL draft, Caleb Williams Daydan Daniels are situated

1534
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 1: exactly next to each other in ADP. They're going off

1535
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:17,240
Speaker 1: the board to pick one oh five and one oh six,

1536
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:23,360
Speaker 1: which one will score more Fantasy Points this year? Matt,

1537
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:26,040
Speaker 1: we are back to you gonna be Caleb Williams or

1538
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:27,640
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels.

1539
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 3: There are two very different quarterbacks in very different situations.

1540
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 3: Caleb definitely has the better weapons around him. Jury's out

1541
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 3: on whether the coaching staff in Chicago is the right

1542
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:39,519
Speaker 3: one to lead his development, though. Jaden much more of

1543
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 3: a runner, kind of like Kyler Murray, and he's got

1544
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:44,759
Speaker 3: Kyler's old coach running the offense there in Cliff Kingsbury.

1545
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 3: So I like the coaching matchup better, But the weapons

1546
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 3: are a full couple of steps down from what Chicago has.

1547
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:53,479
Speaker 3: So if Jaden's gonna score more points, I think he

1548
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 3: has to do it with the running game, and I'm

1549
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 3: not sure his tall, lanky frame could hold up to

1550
01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:00,200
Speaker 3: that kind of punishment over a seventeen game season. I'll

1551
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:03,439
Speaker 3: take the weapons and the presumed safer pick and Caleb.

1552
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:08,440
Speaker 1: Okay, Brian, we've mentioned Caleb Williams, Jaden mcdan, not McDaniels,

1553
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 1: Jade and Daniels going off the board exactly next to

1554
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 1: each other, and ADP picks one of five and one

1555
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 1: oh six. Who's going to score more Fantasy points.

1556
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:19,280
Speaker 4: I've kind of banged the drums for Jaden Daniels a

1557
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 4: couple times already during the show, so that's going to

1558
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:25,160
Speaker 4: be my answer. And it's all about the rushing upside really,

1559
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 4: but you know, people say he's a great rusher, which

1560
01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:29,760
Speaker 4: is true, and they think his passing is so much

1561
01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:32,720
Speaker 4: or you know, behind his rushing, it's really not. He's

1562
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,799
Speaker 4: a really good passer too, so he is a complete quarterback.

1563
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 4: I'm just worried that he can get killed out there

1564
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 4: because he is kind of fearless when he's running the

1565
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:41,760
Speaker 4: ball or he was in college, and he has a

1566
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:45,799
Speaker 4: highly highlight reel of taking hits that would end lives

1567
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:49,679
Speaker 4: for most people. So yes, get down, Jaden, slide. Learn

1568
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 4: to slide, Please learn to slide.

1569
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:55,040
Speaker 1: The correct answer is Caleb Williams, and really Matt took

1570
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:58,040
Speaker 1: all of my talking points, unfortunately, And it's not that

1571
01:17:58,080 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm I don't like Jade and Daniels. I do, but

1572
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:04,600
Speaker 1: the injury, the difference in weapons is just so high,

1573
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 1: and Caleb Williams as I alluded to earlier in the

1574
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:10,639
Speaker 1: show way better runner than people ever seem to talk about.

1575
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 1: He's not on that tier of Jackson. He's not on

1576
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:18,640
Speaker 1: that tier of runner, but he's in the next.

1577
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,639
Speaker 3: Tier, like the Sam Donald tier, right, Brian, just.

1578
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 1: About Arnold's got better wheels than people know he does.

1579
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 4: Sam Donald could have played college basketball.

1580
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 1: You could have well, I could have two. There is that.

1581
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 4: No, this is true. Wikipedia said it, and it's got it,

1582
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:35,680
Speaker 4: then it absolutely has to be. See what you're a

1583
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 4: Wikipedia p.

1584
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 1: Let's let's go to our sleepers, Matt. Let's begin with you.

1585
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 1: These are that we do this one every preseason show.

1586
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:45,320
Speaker 1: We talk about one sleeper, will never repeat a sleeper twice. Yeah,

1587
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:49,160
Speaker 1: these are all guys that we believe will dramatically outperform

1588
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 1: the round in which they are being selected. Now, so

1589
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:54,720
Speaker 1: you know, it could be a guy who's going off

1590
01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:55,960
Speaker 1: in the fourteenth round. Do you think is going to

1591
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:57,599
Speaker 1: be like an eighth rounder, or could even be somebody

1592
01:18:57,600 --> 01:18:59,200
Speaker 1: who's going off in the fifth round you think is

1593
01:18:59,240 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 1: gonna be a first round?

1594
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:03,000
Speaker 3: Sure, give me your sleep I've got Joshua Palmer of

1595
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:05,559
Speaker 3: the Los Angeles Chargers going off the board at pick

1596
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:08,400
Speaker 3: ninety nine right now, that's in the ninth round. That's

1597
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:11,840
Speaker 3: a full three rounds after his teammate, rookie Lad McConkey.

1598
01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:17,840
Speaker 3: The Chargers unsurprisingly lead the league in vacated targets three

1599
01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 3: hundred and ninety five vacated targets. Dang, that's sixty four

1600
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 3: percent of the Chargers targets from last year. Keenan Allen,

1601
01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 3: Mike Williams, Austin Eckler, Jalen Geiton all gone. There's only

1602
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 3: one guy left in Los Angeles that has caught more

1603
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 3: than forty passes out from Justin air Bear in his career.

1604
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:39,759
Speaker 3: That's Josh Palmer. Last year, Palmer dealt with an injury

1605
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:42,840
Speaker 3: on and off for almost the entire year, But in

1606
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:46,280
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, Palmer was targeted one hundred and seven

1607
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:49,759
Speaker 3: times by the air Bear. He caught seventy two passes

1608
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 3: for seven hundred and sixty nine yards and three scores.

1609
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:54,800
Speaker 3: And let's say he gets in the range of one

1610
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:58,760
Speaker 3: ten to one thirty. Yeah, players who finished with that

1611
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 3: many targets last year averaged seventy five catches, one thousand

1612
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:07,720
Speaker 3: and forty two yards and five touchdowns. That's almost exactly

1613
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:09,720
Speaker 3: what Amari Cooper did last year.

1614
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 4: Wow.

1615
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:13,599
Speaker 3: And Amari Cooper is going off in the fourth round

1616
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:16,759
Speaker 3: right now, So you could get a ninth round player

1617
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:20,600
Speaker 3: who's very probable to return fourth round value. He's not

1618
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:23,519
Speaker 3: an exciting guy, but he might return some pretty good

1619
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 3: value for you as your wide receiver.

1620
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:27,799
Speaker 1: You're gonna score more Fantasy points this year. Josh Palmer

1621
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:28,759
Speaker 1: or Lad McConkie.

1622
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 3: It's probably Josh Palmer.

1623
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:33,240
Speaker 1: It might be. We get so infatuated with the rookies.

1624
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 1: We want them to be good instantly, and in some

1625
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:35,880
Speaker 1: cases they.

1626
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 3: Are Coaches trust veterans.

1627
01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:41,800
Speaker 1: Well, true, although it's a whole new coaching stat Yeah. Right,

1628
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:43,519
Speaker 1: And I think that's a pretty big variable on this

1629
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:46,439
Speaker 1: shear makes it a lot more uncertain, Brian, let's go

1630
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 1: to your sleeper real quick.

1631
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 4: I think it's fair to throw DJ Shark into that

1632
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:51,000
Speaker 4: and make it a three way match.

1633
01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:52,920
Speaker 1: M charks.

1634
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:56,120
Speaker 4: He's not the favorite, but he could very well, we're.

1635
01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:57,760
Speaker 1: Gonna be he's gonna he could. He could mess things

1636
01:20:57,800 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 1: up a little bit.

1637
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:01,200
Speaker 4: All right, Well, my sleeper shouldn't have any problem out

1638
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:04,040
Speaker 4: performing his ADP, hopefully because he's really not getting drafted

1639
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 4: by many people. But it's running back Rasheen Ali, who

1640
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:09,720
Speaker 4: most probably haven't heard of, but he's a rookie. Fabulous,

1641
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:19,120
Speaker 4: he fabulous he Aladdin good movie under let's get that

1642
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:22,439
Speaker 4: on the Yeah. But have you played Aladdin? The Genesis game?

1643
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah?

1644
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 4: The underrated video games really good for the sake of Genesis.

1645
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:29,400
Speaker 1: Well, you know, the problem for it was not that

1646
01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:31,639
Speaker 1: it wasn't a good game, but everybody got so used

1647
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 1: to all the t all the movies and TV shows

1648
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 1: turned video games were almost universally awful, and so people

1649
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 1: just went a Laddin. Whatever, it's for kids, it's a

1650
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:43,439
Speaker 1: you know, it's a conversion from a movie. I'm out.

1651
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:44,719
Speaker 5: It was great.

1652
01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:47,880
Speaker 4: Good game, probably still is. But anyway, back to Rashine

1653
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:51,200
Speaker 4: Ali selected in the fifth round out of Marshall by

1654
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 4: the Ravens. He likely would have been selected sooner if

1655
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:56,519
Speaker 4: not for tearing his bicyp at the Senior Bowl, so

1656
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:58,679
Speaker 4: he missed that game. He didn't test at the Combine,

1657
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 4: so we slid in thet as a result. But the

1658
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:05,280
Speaker 4: bicep is healed. He is full on, full go in

1659
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:08,240
Speaker 4: training camp right now, still behind Justice Hill, but I

1660
01:22:08,240 --> 01:22:09,640
Speaker 4: think he has a chance to beat him out for

1661
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:13,040
Speaker 4: the backup job. Behind Dereck Henry Rasheen a Lee led

1662
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:16,479
Speaker 4: FBS last year with seven plays of fifty plus yards.

1663
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:19,960
Speaker 4: He has three down pretent, three down potential, great initial

1664
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,759
Speaker 4: speed with the second burst, good power in the gaps.

1665
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:24,840
Speaker 4: He can catch, he can pass protect, and if something

1666
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:28,200
Speaker 4: happens to Dereck Henry rasheen Alie sleeper will come alive

1667
01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:28,439
Speaker 4: for you.

1668
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:32,880
Speaker 1: I like it. There's a real chance that something does

1669
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 1: happen to Derrick Henry at age thirty, and yeah, that

1670
01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:37,679
Speaker 1: would be really interesting.

1671
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:40,040
Speaker 4: And they want to keep Henry fresh too for the playoffs.

1672
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 4: They have Super Bowl aspirations of course in Baltimore, So

1673
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:44,920
Speaker 4: I don't think Henry's not going to play all the snaps,

1674
01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 4: that's for sure.

1675
01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:51,600
Speaker 1: My sleeper is the great nephew of Hank Aaron. How

1676
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:52,760
Speaker 1: about that.

1677
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:53,400
Speaker 3: That's cool and.

1678
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 1: Most listeners should not have any reason to know who

1679
01:22:56,080 --> 01:23:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm talking about yet. Chargers rookie running back Kamani Videll.

1680
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:03,519
Speaker 1: I like this kid a lot, and he is a

1681
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:07,840
Speaker 1: thor nicetroom favorite. He's he started the whole ball rolling

1682
01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:11,120
Speaker 1: for me on him. He at college, he went to Troy,

1683
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:13,719
Speaker 1: destroyed the record book at Troy, which you know Granted

1684
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:16,679
Speaker 1: it's not a thick record book at Troy, but Kamani

1685
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:17,840
Speaker 1: Videl killed it there.

1686
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:20,280
Speaker 3: You were the record holder at Troy. I have actually

1687
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 3: you were until that's shattering my records.

1688
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:28,360
Speaker 1: Chargers have got a running backs dream coaching tandem of

1689
01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman. It's all running

1690
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 1: all the time ahead of Vidal. Of course, are Gus

1691
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:38,200
Speaker 1: Edwards and JK Dobbins.

1692
01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:40,320
Speaker 3: A dream scenario of injury? It really is.

1693
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 1: And I've loved both players pre acls, since their acls

1694
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 1: and their extended recoveries, they just don't look like the

1695
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:50,880
Speaker 1: same guys. And it's sad, but that's just a fact.

1696
01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 5: Now.

1697
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:56,559
Speaker 1: Normally, what keeps rookie running backs from getting time playing time? Guys?

1698
01:23:56,760 --> 01:24:00,160
Speaker 1: What stops rookie running backs from getting on the fields?

1699
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:04,679
Speaker 1: Pro pass protection? Bang, you nailed it. Guess who's the

1700
01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:13,160
Speaker 1: best rookie runner in this draft class in pass protecting? Yes,

1701
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:16,719
Speaker 1: Kamani Videll and by the way, Gus Edwards and JK.

1702
01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 1: Dobbins in pass blocking ranked thirty second and forty ninth

1703
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 1: by Pro Football Focus. The best pass blocking running back

1704
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:26,560
Speaker 1: on the Chargers could very well turn out to be

1705
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 1: Kimani Videll. He's compact, he's stout. He is a workhorse

1706
01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:34,160
Speaker 1: runner with shifty moves and amazing balance, a little bit

1707
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 1: of burst. He's not like high end speed guy. He's shorter,

1708
01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:37,759
Speaker 1: he's thicker.

1709
01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:41,679
Speaker 3: He's a little teapot, short and stout.

1710
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 1: Ye yes, yes, As a matter of fact, Kimani Videll

1711
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 1: my sleeper. All right, let me throw this topic out

1712
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:51,720
Speaker 1: to you. We've got a couple of spare minutes at

1713
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 1: the end of the show. A few weeks ago and

1714
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 1: for much of the offseason, Matt and I did an

1715
01:24:56,960 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 1: offseason show not too long ago, maybe a month ago,

1716
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 1: we talked about undo the opposite because we're sloughing running

1717
01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:02,760
Speaker 1: backs so much.

1718
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:03,080
Speaker 5: Yep.

1719
01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 1: But what's happened in the recent weeks running backs moving

1720
01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 1: way way up. Three weeks ago, the first round only

1721
01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:15,280
Speaker 1: had three running backs in it by average ADP. Today

1722
01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:19,759
Speaker 1: six running backs in the first round by average draft

1723
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:24,320
Speaker 1: position six. So and by the way through two rounds,

1724
01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 1: it's almost dead even between wide receivers and running backs.

1725
01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:29,840
Speaker 1: So running backs have moved back. People can't stop themselves.

1726
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,120
Speaker 1: They're moving back to the running back position.

1727
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:36,320
Speaker 3: More casuals are drafting now, and they tend to go

1728
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:37,840
Speaker 3: running back because they have for years.

1729
01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:40,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, are you running to consider.

1730
01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 5: This tough, tough question number four.

1731
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:47,040
Speaker 1: Are you riding the running back wave and taking running

1732
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:50,919
Speaker 1: backs early or are you continuing to do the opposite

1733
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:51,599
Speaker 1: like you know I.

1734
01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:54,400
Speaker 3: Would Brian, you want to take that one first?

1735
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:58,240
Speaker 4: It all depends, But in the first round it's really

1736
01:25:58,360 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 4: just Greese Hall for me. If I don't have a

1737
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:01,920
Speaker 4: numb one pick, I'll take McCaffrey still, even though he's

1738
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:02,599
Speaker 4: got the angle thing.

1739
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:04,479
Speaker 3: But so I don't know.

1740
01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:07,080
Speaker 1: Yes, you're taking running back, all right, you're taking running

1741
01:26:07,120 --> 01:26:07,519
Speaker 1: backs early.

1742
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:08,080
Speaker 4: Running back.

1743
01:26:09,680 --> 01:26:12,439
Speaker 3: I think in the first round it's McCaffrey Hall or

1744
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:14,880
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor for me, and I would not take any

1745
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:17,200
Speaker 3: other ones in the first round, mostly because I think

1746
01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:20,040
Speaker 3: those guys are bell cows in their offense, and there's

1747
01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:23,400
Speaker 3: just so few bell cows anymore that I think it

1748
01:26:23,479 --> 01:26:25,479
Speaker 3: is worth it to have one or two of them.

1749
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 1: The running back failure zone is end of first round.

1750
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:28,680
Speaker 3: Mm hm.

1751
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 1: Those guys that are at the very front are usually

1752
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:33,720
Speaker 1: proven workhorse guys. The guys at the back of the

1753
01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:37,120
Speaker 1: first round early second round have generally got question marks

1754
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:40,080
Speaker 1: and the that's the key failure zone right there. Obviously,

1755
01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:42,519
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep doing the opposite. Thank you for listening
