Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, 3 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: where we believe in Jimmy Garoppolo the whole time. I'm 4 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: Marcus Grant alongside Michael F. Florio. Producer Justin is at 5 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: the controls and a little birdie told me the producer 6 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: hyps them is just sitting and spying on us. I 7 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: have no idea what's going on with that, but plenty 8 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: to talk about. On this Tuesday. We will go through 9 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: some of our own fantasy awards, not the basic like 10 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: Fantasy m vps or busts or Surprise, because we've done 11 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: that at NAZI and everybody has done though, so we'll 12 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: talk about some of those, uh different alternative awards. If 13 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: you will also talk about some of the head coach 14 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: removals across the NFL and use that as a dynasty 15 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: heat check a little bit. But Florio, it was it 16 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: was a wild Week eighteen. I know, we were sort 17 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,279 Speaker 1: of like is this is this really necessary? And then 18 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: it turned out to be kind of interesting and good. 19 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: Uh So I have to ask you what was the 20 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: best game for you in Week eight? Team it's low 21 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: hanging fruit. But the best game for me was the 22 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: Raiders Chargers Sunday night game, which came down to the wire. 23 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure you know, people are over the the time 24 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: out and all the questionable calls that we had in 25 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: that one, but with so much on the line, I mean, 26 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: I was fully invested in that game, and I had 27 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: no real rooting interest in it, So I think for 28 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: me that was the best game. Yeah. No, I'm kind 29 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: of with you on that, just because it was it 30 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: was bananas. I mean, the number of fourth downs that 31 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: the Chargers converted just to keep that thing alive, and 32 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: the number of times their season was literally one play 33 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: away from being over, and somehow Justin Herbert was able 34 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: to get it done was just amazing. And then really 35 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: sort of hoping that the Raiders would take a knee. Um, 36 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: and I like, I'm I'm with you. I'm not gonna 37 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: sit here and try to litigate the whole time out 38 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: thing and good or bad or whatever, but just the 39 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: fact is, uh, you know, there was a chance it 40 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: looked like where Steelers fan was going to be left 41 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: salty and just kind hung out to dry, and instead 42 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: the Raiders tick a field goal in the Chargers. Well, 43 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: they kind of charge their way out of the playoffs. 44 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: Sorry about that. The game that you were at, though, 45 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: was was I would say, the runner up, Yeah, no 46 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: Niners Niners Rams was a fun game, and uh for me, 47 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: it was my first chance to see a game at 48 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: Sofi Stadium, which I know some of you probably think 49 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: that's weird because we work. When we say we work 50 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: literally next door, we work literally next door to Sofi Stadium, 51 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: but you know, on Sundays a lot of times we 52 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: would do our show in the morning. Uh, and then 53 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: we had home Yeah, trying to trying to dodge traffic 54 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: so we get out of there. So this is my 55 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,399 Speaker 1: first chance to see a live game and so fine, 56 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: the place is amazing. Uh, the game was a lot 57 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: of fun. Niner fans took the place over. Um. I 58 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: tweeted that the Rams kind of got to see how 59 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: the Chargers live, you know, playing a home game in 60 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: front of a crowd that was sort of hostile, But 61 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: that was that was a whole lot of fun. Um. 62 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to start just a quick rundown of the 63 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: fantasy leaders for the season. Now this is I can 64 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: file this through weeks seventeen, because I know most leagues 65 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: were done after week seventeen, so it doesn't include week eighteen. 66 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: And this is full point PPR scoring. But your top score, 67 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: no surprise, Cooper Cup four hundred twelve point nine points. 68 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,839 Speaker 1: QB one was Josh Allen at three three point seven two. 69 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: Uh your RB one Jonathan Taylor three sixty point six 70 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: wide receiver one. Well, I mean it's Cooper Cup. He's 71 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: the top score. He's also your wide receiver one, Mark 72 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: Andrews de Thrones, Travis Kelsey as the tight end one 73 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: to eighty four point six. Nick Folk was your kicker 74 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: one at one sixty four and the Cowboys, uh, your 75 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: top defense at a hundred and eighty points. First off, 76 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: Nick Folk, to me, that sort of blew me away 77 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: because I was like, wait, Nick Folcus, I have to 78 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: look about my east. He's old, right, and like yeah, 79 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: I was like, there's not a new Nick Folk that 80 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: I did I didn't know about. No, this is thirty 81 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: seven year old Nick Folk, who's the kicker one. I 82 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: know people don't like kickers florio, but I still thought 83 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: that was remarkable that at thirty seven years old, this 84 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: dude was the top kicker this year. I don't know 85 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: how he's done it. The Patriots just keep loving kicking 86 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: field goals. I guess I don't know, but yeah, I was. 87 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: Out of all the names, Nick Focus easily the most 88 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: surprising one. Alright, so let's go through some of our 89 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: kind of alternative fantasy awards for this season. Let's start 90 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: with the player most likely to repeat as the top 91 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: scorer at his respective position. Who is it for you? 92 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna sound like a little bit of a homer 93 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: it for me, I think it's Josh Allen because you know, 94 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: we know what he could give you with his arm, 95 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: and then the fact that he's the only player in 96 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: NFL history with like a hundred passing touchdowns and thirty 97 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns to four years shows you that every year 98 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna give you production with his legs. He's the 99 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: first quarterback to finishes the QB one and back to 100 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: back years since Dante Colepepper did it fifteen years ago. 101 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: But Marcus, if we're being honest, I think you can 102 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: make a case for why each of these players won't 103 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: be the top scoring player next year at their position, 104 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: like Allen to do with three years in a row, 105 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: would be tough, Taylor. I think they need to throw 106 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: in the ball a little bit more. Cup could have 107 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: another great year, just we're not everything goes his way 108 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: and he reduces a little bit. Mark Andrews. I mean, 109 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: we wouldn't be surprised of another tight end. So I 110 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: think you can make the case for all of them. 111 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: I think you can make the case against all of them. 112 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: I think you had too. I know, you know you 113 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: talk about Josh Allen and uh stat that I got 114 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: from our pals and research Matt Frederick and Matt Oconta 115 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: that the last quarterback two finishes the QB one three 116 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: years in a row was Brett Farve from to nine seven. 117 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: Before that, it was Steve Young from ninety four. So 118 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: you had it, you know, and fairly close proximity. And 119 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,679 Speaker 1: now we've gone what five years almost since it happened again. 120 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: So uh that seems to make it tough for for 121 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Not impossible, just difficult, that's all um. I'm 122 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: gonna go with Jonathan Taylor. And even though I said 123 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: on Fantasy Live, but I still believe it. I still 124 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: think Derrick Henry should be any conversation for the top 125 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: overall pick Um right now, the Colts seemed like they 126 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: want to lean on Jonathan Taylor for good reason, I think, 127 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: especially after what happened in Week eighteen with Carson Wentz 128 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: not playing so well and the Colts getting bounced from 129 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Maybe that's a reason for them to sort 130 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: of double up on Jonathan Taylor next year. And maybe 131 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: they do throw on the ball more. Maybe they need 132 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: to be a coming part of it. But I feel 133 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: like I feel like he's got a good shot to 134 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: repeat as the top running back um which he's only 135 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: gonna make it more frustrating when he wants a new 136 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: contract and then half a Fantasy Twitter tells him that 137 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: he should be just happy with what he's got. That's 138 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: gonna be an interesting one, though, because Fantasy Twitter loves 139 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor so like they're gonna their brains. I don't 140 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: know if if everyone's brains are gonna be able to 141 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: handle it. Yeah, but I feel like Fantasy Twitter also 142 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: loved Zeke once upon a time, and they love Kon 143 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: once upon a time, and now, like you know, like 144 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: they basically consider both these guys to be bums. I mean, 145 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey like put out one of the greatest seasons 146 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: ever and he got a contract extension and Twitter was like, oh, like, 147 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: so there's no winning there. Um, all right, so that 148 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: gets us to the next award. Though, by the way, 149 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: for the listening, we're not actually handing out an actual ward. 150 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: There's not gonna be There's not gonna be an actual winner. 151 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: These are just our opinions on things. UM. Player most 152 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: likely to be drafted too high in two, I think 153 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: it's James Conner, And this is one that it took 154 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: me a little bit to kind of land on a candidate. 155 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: I think yours is great, UM, but I was thinking 156 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: about it, like Connor is in a committee here. We 157 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: we know Chase Edmonds is gonna be involved. As long 158 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: as both of them are back in Arizona. Edmonds is 159 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: gonna take some pass catching away. The thing about James 160 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: Conner has he had a very good year eleven eleven 161 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: hundred total yards, but eighteen touchdowns clearly is what made 162 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: him in RB one this year. I think if you're 163 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: paying anywhere clothes for an RB one price for James Connor, 164 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: you're probably overpaying in drafts next year. So I think 165 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: it's easy to sell yourself on Like, look how good 166 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: Connor was. He He was a focal point in this offense. 167 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: We used the goal on runner. This is a good 168 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: Cardinals offense. But like, if those eighteen touchdowns drops down 169 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: to like ten, which is a really good year, You're 170 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: looking at a lot of fantasy points lost there. So 171 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: it's always hard for me to draft someone that was 172 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: so reliant on touchdowns because, like you say, markets, they 173 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: are a fickle beast. Yeah, touchdowns are fickle beasts. Man. 174 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: The other part of it that helped James Conner um 175 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: was I mean he played a good stretch of the 176 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: season without Chase Edmonds there too. I mean there was 177 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: a long period of time where he was the running 178 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: back in Arizona, and I just I don't think that's 179 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: how Cliff Kingsbury wants to operate. Um. You know, I 180 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: think he likes to have two backs. I think he 181 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: likes to kind of have a uh sixty forty, maybe 182 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: a fifty fifty split. But I don't think they just 183 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: want to lean on one guy. So you know, again, 184 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: if Chase Edmonds is back and healthy, then that that 185 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: sort of eats into Connor's opportunities as well. So I'm 186 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,239 Speaker 1: kind of with you on that one. Um. So originally 187 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: I had put Cordarrell Patterson in, but I kind of 188 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: feel like everybody's gonna look at Corderal realized that this 189 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 1: was sort of a magical year, and I don't I 190 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: don't know that there's gonna be that sort of uh 191 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: feeding frenzy for Cordarrel on the top of drafts. So 192 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: instead I switched it to Hunter renfro Um, who was 193 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: amazing this year, absolutely amazing, but sort of like Connor 194 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: and Chase Edmonds, I do think renfro sort of benefited 195 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: from Darren Waller missing long stretches of the season as well. 196 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: And you know, again, you never you can never predict health. 197 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: You never know who's going to be there, who's not 198 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: going to be there. Um, But nine touchdowns kind of 199 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: seems like a big number for a guy like Hunter 200 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: renfro I mean, maybe it's doable again, but I mean 201 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: he sort of had that first off. He he sort 202 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: of has that new Julian Edelman syndrome. He had a 203 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: hundred and three catches for a thousand, thirty eight yards. 204 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: Like it's not like you know, he's he's not putting 205 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 1: up necessarily huge numbers. He had that stretch in the 206 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: middle of the season with like three one yard games 207 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: in a row. Uh, started going touchdowns down the stretch. 208 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: But it just feels like the idea of Hunter Renfro 209 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: being a wide receiver wa again next year. I mean, 210 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,719 Speaker 1: went through eighteen weeks he was He's the wide receiver ten. 211 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it just it feels impossible. And I know, 212 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: you know, I know you talked about him as being 213 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: kind of a waiver wire hero or kind of an 214 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: unsung hero this year. Uh, this feels like again where 215 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: people may start reaching for Hunter Renfro next year and 216 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: that that kind of performance just doesn't seem like he 217 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: can repeat it. To me, Yeah, I agree. I I 218 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: had the same thought process as you. I thought Cordarol 219 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: Patterson at first was like, no, no one's everyone's gonna 220 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: know that's not real. I was like Hunter Renfro, I 221 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: was like, markets already has. But because I agree, like 222 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: everything kind of broke right for Hunter Renfro this year. 223 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 1: The unfortunate circumstances, but the Raiders lost their wide receiver 224 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 1: one in the middle of the season. Darren Waller then 225 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: got hurt, and we know how much of a target 226 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: magnet Darren Waller is so I think next year, whether 227 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: it be Waller and someone else, whatever they do, they're 228 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: gonna have more pieces around hunter renfro So, I think 229 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: he could still be a useful fantasy piece. But is 230 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: he if someone's taking him as like their wide receiver too, 231 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: which I could see, I think you're overdoing it, which, 232 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: by the way, to the other part is that we 233 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: don't know who the Raider's head coach is going to 234 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: be next year either. Uh. You know, Rich Massaccia has 235 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: done a great job getting into the playoffs, but he 236 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: is the interim coach. There's certainly no guarantee that he 237 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: gets that job full time. So that's another sort of 238 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: variable to throw in there when when you talk about 239 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: the Raiders. Okay, so that's the player who's most likely 240 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: to be drafted too high next year. Who is the 241 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: player most likely to be drafted too low in twenties 242 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: twenty two? You could call me a sucker man, But 243 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: Terry mclauren, I can't quit this guy, and I think, 244 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: I mean, look, we were all super high on Terry McLaurin. 245 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: I had him ranked as a wide receiver one coming 246 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: into this year. I thought Fitzpatrick was what he needed 247 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: to kind of take that next step. Fitzpatrick played what 248 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: a half, and then it was it was yeah, yeah, 249 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: it was it was Taylor Heineke. It was a you know, 250 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: other backups. It just wasn't the right situation for Terry mclauren. 251 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: But he's still had eight thousand yards, he still had 252 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty targets for his secon con straight year. 253 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: I very much so believe in Terry mclauren's talents. I 254 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: just need to see a quarterback upgrade. I don't think 255 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 1: Washington's gonna go into next year with just Taylor Heinik. 256 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: I think they'll make a move at the quarterback position 257 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: and that will help Terry mclauren. But I'm still thinking 258 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: his price will be decreased because he had high expectations 259 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: and let us down and then he just in the 260 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: second half of the season, he wasn't really startable in fantasy. 261 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: So I think a lot of people are gonna hold 262 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: that against him. I I especially agree with the part 263 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: about Washington looking to upgrade as the quarterback situation because 264 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: I felt like, I think, you know, a lot of 265 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: people might have agreed that going into this year, Ryan 266 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick felt like a stop gap, right, Like he was 267 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: kind of a seat warmer for a year two with 268 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 1: the absolute most and then they we go out and 269 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: try to find themselves a quarterback. Now. Because of the injury, 270 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: Heinik was sort of pressed into service, and all things considered, 271 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: he was fine. Um, but I don't think that's what 272 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: Washington wanted. So I expect him to try to make 273 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: some moves, whether it's free agency or a trade. Um. 274 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if there's anybody in the 275 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: draft that's that's immediately going to be the savior at 276 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: quarterback for this franchise, but um, I think hopefully that 277 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: helps h Terry McClaren kind of get back to where 278 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: we wanted him to be. Uh this year. So I 279 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: had a raider for drafted too high. I'm gonna have 280 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: the raider for drafted too low, and that's that's gonna 281 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: be Josh Jacobs. Um. I think I do know Kenyan 282 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: Drake is still going to be under contract and he 283 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: had that season ending injury. But I think what we 284 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: saw from Josh Jacobs late in the year when Drake 285 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: was out prove that he can be. You know, obviously 286 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: I don't expect him to be a Jonathan Taylor type 287 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: workhorse or a Derrick Henry type workhorse, but he can 288 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: do a lot for them. And I think the thing 289 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: that that excited me the most is that they're throwing 290 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: him the football. And that's all we've ever wanted from 291 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, you know, and I shouldn't say from Josh Jacobs. 292 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: Like I think he knew he could catch the football, 293 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: the Raiders just never threw it to him. But now 294 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: they're actually getting him involved in the passing game, and 295 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: I think that is sort of exciting. That's kind of encouraging, 296 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: and I think people are gonna sort of look and 297 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: and I don't know, I just I feel like there's 298 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: there's still hesitation when it comes to this Raider's offense. 299 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: And I can see Jacobs. I think he's still a 300 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 1: second round pick, but I think he should be talking. 301 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: We should be talking about him, maybe early second round. 302 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put him in the first round. I don't. 303 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: I don't think that's that's realistic. But I think he 304 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: can be a in early second round pick. I think 305 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: he can be kind of a low end running back one, 306 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: especially if the Raiders really are involving him in the 307 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: passing game, because I mean, that's that's kind of the 308 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: only thing he wasn't doing. He just wasn't catching the 309 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: football until you know, midway through this year, and and 310 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: again it wasn't a thing of ken Josh Jacobs catch 311 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: the ball. It was a matter of are they going 312 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: to throw him the ball? So I think the fact 313 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: that you know, coaching change happened and then we finally 314 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: started to see it. If they keep throwing him the 315 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: ball next season, yeah, I think that he will be 316 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: a second round pick, and for the first time ever, 317 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: I probably won't be fading Josh Jacobs, I know, right, 318 00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: Like that was always my thing, Like, well, he didn't 319 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: catch the ball, so I don't know if I'm gonna drafting, 320 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: But now if he's catching the ball, like I'm I'm 321 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: sort of in on him. Um. Alright, So the player 322 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: who was most ready to make a quote unquote the 323 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: leap next year, who is it for you? Low hanging 324 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: fruit potentially, but I'm going with Kyle Pitts here. I 325 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: expect a monstrous year next year for Kyle Pitts. And 326 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are saying, like, what 327 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: we expected one for him this year, and it's like, well, 328 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: he he kind of gave us that monstrous rookie season. 329 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: The only thing he didn't give us was touchdowns, Like 330 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: thousand yards season he had coming after seventeen weeks. He 331 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: had more catches than Jalen Waddle, who bro I'm sorry, 332 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: more receiving yards and Jalen Waddle, more receptions than Davante Smith, 333 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: more fantasy points than any rookie tight end has had 334 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: in over thirty years. Like he came through for us, 335 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: like we all thought he would. The only thing he 336 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: didn't do was catch those touchdowns. Him and Cole Beasley 337 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: were the only players with over a hundred targets and 338 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: just one touchdown, And coming into Week eighteen, Marcus I 339 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: looked at it, like, what does every other play here 340 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: with a hundred targets average touchdown wise? The answer was 341 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: six point seven five. I said, if we just give 342 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: him six, he would be the tight end three in 343 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: total points and the tight end six in points per game, 344 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: basically exactly what we were hoping he would do this year. 345 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: So I think next year with touchdown regression coming, positive 346 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: touchdown regression coming his way him just you know, getting 347 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: naturally better like second year players do, and probably having 348 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: some more help around him on offense after Kyle Calvin 349 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: Ridley left, he had no help there. I think that 350 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts could take a huge leap and potentially be 351 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: the tight end one in fantasy. Yeah, I'm I'm with 352 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: you on that. Um. You know, I look at the 353 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: top seven tight ends, right, so it's like it's Pits 354 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: at six, and then you know the other guys around him. 355 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: All of those top seven guys had at least five 356 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: touchdowns except for Kyle Pitts. So if you give him, 357 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: he said, if you give him those five extra touchdowns, 358 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: you put him at six. I gives him over two 359 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: hundred points. He's right up there, just ahead of George Kittle. 360 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: Um and everybody I think feels slightly different about him 361 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: because everything else was fine. Everything else is comparable to 362 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: all those guys around him. More catches, uh than Gronk. 363 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: I think he had the third most receiving yards among 364 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: tight ends. It was just the touchdowns that was the 365 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: only thing that was missing. Um. And I saw somebody 366 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: on on Twitter recently say that he considered Kyle Pitts 367 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: a fantasy loser because of where you probably drafted him, 368 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: which I mean, I guess I also say that I was. 369 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: I was kind of advocating not drafting him that I 370 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: just because of my own personal caution. But um, I 371 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: think it's hard to say that he's a loser. I 372 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: just he is not a loser. He played great the losers. 373 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: There's any loser here, Marguts, it's the people who had 374 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: too high expectations for him. Like he came through. He 375 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: was the best rookie tight end in my lifetime. Yeah. No, absolutely. Um, 376 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: So I think I think Kyle Pitts is fine, and 377 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think he takes a huge step 378 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: forward next year. So I almost put him his mind, um, 379 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 1: but instead I pivoted. And this might sound homersh, but 380 00:17:55,280 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say trade Lance, um because look, I I 381 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: don't know for sure what's going to happen with Jimmy Garoppolo. 382 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: And look shout out to him for for basically willing 383 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: he and Deebo Samuel sort of willed the Niners into 384 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: the playoffs, uh, in that game in Los Angeles. But 385 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: I also feel like, you know, his days might sort 386 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: of be numbered in San Francisco that they may be 387 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: ready to turn to Trey Lands. And in games where 388 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: he played a significant number of snaps, I think if 389 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: you kind of like or more of the snaps. Uh, 390 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: he averaged nearly twenty points per game, actually plenty about 391 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: closer to nineteen. But either way it was it was 392 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: a pretty good uh you know, sample size, and pretty 393 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: good scoring number for him. When he got a significant 394 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: number of snaps. He was able to run the ball 395 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: effectively at least thirty rushing yards in all those games. 396 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: And look, yes, he will have some growing pains if 397 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: he ends up being the full time starter next year, 398 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: but he also has guys to help out. I mean, 399 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: they've got Debo, they've got George Kittle. Uh, you know, 400 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: maybe Brandon I comes back into our lives next year. 401 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: Who knows. We know they're going to have a solid 402 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 1: running game and he will very much be a part 403 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: of it. Um. I I sort of see Trey Lance 404 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: next year, like like Jalen Hurts this year, a guy 405 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: who you know you're sort of drafting him probably in 406 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: the tenth round maybe later. Um, you know you're not 407 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: necessarily expecting him to be You're starting fantasy quarterback week 408 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: to week, but I could see him, you know, every week, 409 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: just somehow you look up and somehow Trey Lance has 410 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: eighteen points or nineteen points a week after week to 411 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: the point that you're like, maybe I gotta think about 412 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: starting this guy. So I think that once he takes 413 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: over and he gets a full offseason to sort of 414 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: get ready and and kind of get the acclimated to 415 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: his teammates, I think I think Trey Lance is ready 416 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,239 Speaker 1: to I know I pay rather excited. I know I'm 417 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: not the only one who thinks this because we were 418 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: all super hyped on trade Lance, but I just feel like, uh, 419 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: next year, the door is open for him to just 420 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: walk through and really do some big things. Yeah. I 421 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: don't think you're being a Homer at all. I think 422 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: Trey Lance is awesome fantasy pick for next year. I 423 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: would I'm probably gonna have him ranked as a QB one, 424 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: which sounds crazy potentially, but like I agree with your 425 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: comparison of Jalen Hurts, but I actually have more faith 426 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: in Trey Lance Beau is of Kyle Shanahan and the 427 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: pieces around him. Like every year Jimmy g more than 428 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: half his passing yards come after the catch, because that's 429 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 1: how good those guys are. So Trey Lands doesn't have 430 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 1: to do a whole lot, but he's got a stronger 431 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,719 Speaker 1: arm and a better deep ball than Jimmy g and 432 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: he can run. So yeah, I think the sky is 433 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: the limit for him. QB one with top five upside? 434 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: Is that crazy to say? Spicy? I like its spicy, 435 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: but I really really like that, all right. So that's 436 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: the guy who we think is gonna take the leap. Now, 437 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 1: the the player more likely in a veteran who is 438 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: likely to fall out of fantasy relevance this year. And 439 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: I saw yours and I chuckle because somebody on Twitter 440 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: is gonna come for you, but I'm here for it. 441 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: This is gonna be like the third year in a 442 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: row someone comes to me for him. But it's Adam DeLand, man. 443 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: I mean, So the last two years, Adam DeLand has 444 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: led the NFL in most largest percentage of Fantasy points 445 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: scored on touchdowns at overt He didn't lead the NFL 446 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 1: in that at least receivers in one, but he was 447 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 1: top five and the third straight year over a third 448 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 1: of his fantasy points came off of touchdowns at some 449 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: point it becomes a dangerous proposition that I need Adam 450 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: Feeling to catch double digit touchdowns or he is not 451 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: going to pay off for fantasy. And I mean, the 452 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: yards continue to decrease, the average less in sixty yards 453 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: per game last year. The catches are down, their targets 454 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 1: are down. The only saving grace he has is those touchdowns. 455 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: And I mean, let's say he catches six touchdowns next 456 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: year and he just has an off year touchdown wise, 457 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 1: like he's not gonna be a great fantasy asset. There 458 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: might be people who throw him back on the waiver wire. 459 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: So uh, maybe he he can hang onto a little 460 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: bit of relevance. But I definitely think the the end 461 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 1: is near with Adam Feeling, and the touchdowns right now 462 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: are the only thing keeping him fantasy relevant. But because 463 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: he's a big name and because of all those touchdowns marcuts, 464 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: I think people are gonna overdraft him and then a 465 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna be upset. I wouldn't be surprised, 466 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: right because that was that was the narrative early in 467 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: the season, right that Adam Felan thumbs his nose at 468 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: touchdown regression because he just kept scoring and I get it, 469 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: but I'm kind of with you at some point. Uh, 470 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 1: it's just hard. It just as harder. And especially as 471 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson continues to develop and get better, I think 472 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: he starts to take more of those opportunities. Um, you know, 473 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: also part of it. And we'll get to some coaching 474 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: changes in a little bit, but there's going to be 475 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: a change uh in Minnesota too, and you wonder how 476 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: that's going to impact a lot of the players on 477 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: that roster. Um close your ears justin. Uh. For me, 478 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: a player is gonna be Julio Jones. And and it 479 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: sort of hurts my heart to say this because I 480 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: love Julio, but at some point you just have to 481 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: wonder if the accumulation of injuries is going to start 482 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: to be too much. Um, you know, because this is 483 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 1: this is going a couple of years now. I mean 484 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: we we saw it his last couple of years in Atlanta, 485 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: all those years, all those games where a lot of 486 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: times Julio either is either he misses a game or 487 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 1: he shows up to play, but he's just a e 488 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: cooy because he's not a percent. And then this year 489 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: obviously missing a ton of time with Tennessee and just 490 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: not really being productive weekend and week out. I just 491 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: think at some point, you know, this is all going 492 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: to sort of catch up to him, and and I 493 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: think there will still be moments when he flashes and 494 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: he reminds you you know, who he wants was. But 495 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: I think on an overall week to week basis, I 496 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: don't know that we're gonna see that same Julio Jones anymore. Um, 497 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 1: you know, especially with a J. Brown there we'll see 498 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: obviously Derrick Henry hopefully is back and healthy for next year. 499 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 1: I think that sort of lessons their need to rely 500 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: on Julio. And I think for fantasy, um, you know, 501 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see his ADP fall quite a bit, 502 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: and I just am not really expecting to count on 503 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: him as more than you know, maybe a third wide 504 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: receiver on any fantasy rosters next year. Yeah. My thinking 505 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: with Julio is if like we see him fall to 506 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: like the nine tenth round, maybe you know, potentially even 507 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: a little bit later, I will take shots on him. 508 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: But I I could see him falling completely out of 509 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: being fantasy relevant, or maybe having a year like a J. 510 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: Green where he shows flashes and has a couple of 511 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: good games, but you can't really rely on him. So 512 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: it's just like you, Marcus. It pains me to say it, 513 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,959 Speaker 1: but yeah, Julio Jones is definitely one who, uh who 514 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: could just fall off next season. I mean he caught 515 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: his first touchdown as at Titan in Week eighteen. Yeah, yeah, 516 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: that that says a lot about it, justin saying Julio 517 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: should just sit out until playoffs for the rest of 518 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: his career. Just yeah, they'll just be a postseason guy. 519 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: He'll show up. You know, he'll show up in like 520 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: week seventeen. He'll get a couple of weeks of regular 521 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: season to work in, uh, just to get ready. It'll 522 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: be like his It'll be like his preseason weeks seventeen 523 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: and eighteen, and then he'll he'll be there for the playoffs. 524 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: So so you know, those are our fantasy awards. Congrats 525 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: to everybody who won. Um whatever, Let's take a quick break. 526 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: We'll come back with more of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. 527 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: I want to take some time to get through some 528 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: quick news and notes. Obviously, what they I guess they 529 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: usually call Black Monday, Uh, sort of happened across the 530 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: NFL it's always a weird term. It's always a weird 531 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: time because like the season's over and then you know, 532 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: teams start cleaning house. But quick rundown of some of 533 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: the notable changes. The big one, the one that surprised everybody. Uh, 534 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: the Dolphins fired head coach Brian Flores, but they do 535 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: keep the general manager in place there down in Miami. 536 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 1: Sort of hinted at the Vikings, but the Mike Zimmer 537 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: the head coach, and the GM Rick Spielman are gone 538 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: in Minnesota, staying in the NFC north of the Bears 539 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: fire both head coach Matt Naggie and general manager Ryan Pace. Uh. 540 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: In New York, Dave Gettleman quote unquote retires. Uh yeah, 541 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: him and his his keyboard typing their ut knocking all 542 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: the analytics guys. Gettleman retires, but Joe Judge at least 543 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: of now still the head coach for Big Blue. And 544 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: then earlier in the weekend, the Broncos fired head coach 545 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: Vic Fangio after they missed the playoffs. But I I believe 546 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: the fifth straight year, which seems unfathomable for a franchise 547 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: like the Denver Broncos. But Vic Fangio is out in Denver. 548 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: And that is obviously on top of the head coaching vacancies. 549 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: We already knew about John Gruden gone in Las Vegas 550 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: and Urban Meyer gone in Jacksonville. Uh so we already 551 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: knew about those, but these are more that are that 552 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: are sort of opening up. So that sort of led 553 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: me to think about dynasty type stuff. And you know this, 554 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: the dynasty market is what's always open, but it's especially 555 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: open now. Um. This is sort of like football's equivalent 556 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: of the hot stove in baseball, right when things start 557 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: moving and start happening a little bit. So, um, I 558 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 1: took the teams that made head coaching moves recently, it 559 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: picked a player or two of relevance there. And so 560 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: want to get your thoughts on for dynasty if if 561 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: you know, folks should be trying to buy, sell, or 562 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: hold uh some of these players that are you know, 563 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: kind of of interest there. So let's start with with 564 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: Miami because again that was the one that I think 565 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: caught everybody off guard. Uh, Jalen Waddle to a tongue 566 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 1: of violoa, what are you suggesting folks do with these players? 567 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: A hundred percent by Jalen Waddle, like he he is 568 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,959 Speaker 1: a stud. He just broke the rookie reception record. He 569 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: did it in a year where two it was in 570 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: and out and and there was game started by Jacoby 571 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: Brisett and Waddle got off to a slow start but 572 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: then looked like a wide receiver one down the stretch. 573 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: So he is a huge buy for me right now, 574 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: one of the receivers that I'm most excited for heading 575 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: into next year too. On the other hand, I think 576 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,479 Speaker 1: it's a Cell candidate because we keep hearing that they 577 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: want to upgrade the quarterback position. I wouldn't be surprised 578 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: if he gets dealt for an upgrade or something like that. 579 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: So too much unknown there with two A plus, I've 580 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: tried to be a to a supporter markets and like 581 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: sometimes he he looks great and then other times like 582 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: this past weekend, like he was missing all of his throws. 583 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: It just it didn't look pretty. So I think too, 584 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: it would be a cell right now. Yeah, And I think, 585 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with you on both of those. 586 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: I think you know if you are trying to acquire 587 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: Jalen don't obviously the price is gonna go up, um, 588 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: But I think you get it now because if they 589 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: bring in an offensive minded head coach to kind of 590 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,439 Speaker 1: really spruce up. Then then maybe the price goes even higher. 591 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 1: So it it may be time to try to get 592 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: in on the waddle now if you can, UM. And 593 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: I think I think you're probably out on to a 594 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: UM just because the Dolphins seem to be out onto 595 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: a UM. I'm with you. I tried to be a 596 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 1: supporter the whole time, but it just seems like they 597 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,360 Speaker 1: don't want him around. I mean, the rumors keep swirling 598 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 1: around him about you know, maybe they're gonna bring in 599 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: another quarterback. UM and I don't think he helps it 600 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: by again not not having big games. He's fine, UM, 601 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: but he's not spectacular. He's not the guy so far 602 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: that looks like he's gonna carry this offense or carry 603 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: this franchise. He can be the guy to kind of 604 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: not screw it up, but I don't think he's necessarily 605 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: the guy who's who's gonna win it for you on 606 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: a on a consistent basis. So I think it's probably time, 607 00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: if you've got to, maybe to try to move on 608 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: from him. But again understand that, uh, you know, you're 609 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: either not gonna get much in return, you're gonna have 610 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: to package him to get something, because it's just there's 611 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: just not gonna be a whole lot of interest if 612 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: no one believes he's going to be the starter in 613 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: Miami next season. Um to the Bears, this one seems 614 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: fairly easy. But I'll put it out there justin fields. 615 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: What's what's up with him? By he? He to me 616 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: is a lot like Trey Lance, Like I think he's 617 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: got QB one upside next year because of what he 618 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: can do with his legs. We saw that he can 619 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: be a good passer at the NFL level. I am hoping, 620 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: and I'm saying this as a Bills fan, Marcus, I 621 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: am hoping the Bears hire Brian Dable because he has 622 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: worked his magic with a young quarterback before. He has 623 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: a offensive friendly system. I don't want to see them 624 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: go out there and hire like a defensive coach and 625 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: then try to play like ground and pound football or 626 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: something like that, like, no, let's open this up, let's 627 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: get the let's take full advantage of this good rookie 628 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: quarterback that fell into your laps. So I'm saying by 629 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: as of now, maybe that changes a little bit depending 630 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: on who they bring in as a head coach, but 631 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: I'm likely still to be in on Justin Fields. So 632 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: one of the names that has been floated out there, 633 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: the Bears have asked to talk to Byron Leftwich, who's 634 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: been down in Tampa doing a really good job with 635 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: that office. Yes, I know he has Tom Brady, don't care. 636 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: He's still done a really good job of putting that 637 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: offense together down there in Tampa. So the Bears have 638 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: have shown some interest in Byron Leftwich. So it's not Briandable, 639 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: but it's a similar line of thinking where they want 640 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: to bring in a guy. Obviously it's to groom their 641 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: young quarterbacks. So yeah, I think it's It's very much 642 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: a situation like Jalen Waddle, where you're in and you're 643 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: probably going to have to, you know, give up something 644 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: of value to get Justin Fields. But um, you know, 645 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: if they do hire a left Witch or a Dable 646 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: or somebody like that, again, the price is going to skyrockets. So, uh, 647 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: this is a situation where get in now, because this 648 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: thing could be going to the moon. Um, if you 649 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: want Justin Fields. But there's a lot of long term potential, 650 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: especially with the Darnel Mooney is there. I know Alan 651 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: Robinson's probably gone, but Darnel Mooney is there. David Montgomery 652 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: has shown obviously he's very good. Khalil Herbert could actually 653 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: could add something to that offense as well. So there 654 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: there are some things to work with in Chicago. It's 655 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: not it's not completely bare. Um. The Giants a whole 656 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: other situation. Uh, Like I'm still I am still mind 657 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: blown by the fact that they ran a quarterback sneak 658 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: on third and nine from their own like nine yard 659 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: line or whatever it was on Sunday is Washington. That 660 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: of all the give ups I have seen across the NFL, 661 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: that's maybe the biggest give up ever. Um. So I 662 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: got two guys who were I think very much going 663 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: in opposite directions right now. Uh, could Darius Tony and 664 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: and say Kwan Barkley, what what say you about them? 665 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: I would be buying. Could Darius Tony? I understand that 666 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: Joe Judge could could very well be the head coach 667 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: next year. They probably have a bad play caller in 668 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: place because that's what they've had the last couple of years. 669 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: It could be Daniel Jones starting again, But I I 670 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: believe in ca Darius Tony's talent. I think what he 671 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: flashed at times this year, UH was really encouraging. He's 672 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: a better route runner than we gave him credit for 673 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: coming out of college. All we kept talking about him, though, 674 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: was how explosive he is, and he showed us that 675 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: at times this year in the NFL. Didn't catch a 676 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: touchdown this year, But I don't think it will cost 677 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: a whole lot to get a Caldarius Tony on your roster. 678 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: So that's why I think you buy because I like 679 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: his upside. Se Kwan, I think you hold because, yeah, 680 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: it's possible that se Kwan bottoms out next year and 681 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: he might be like, Oh, I I could have sold 682 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: se Kwan, but his value is already so low right 683 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: now that I don't think you would get a a 684 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: great return on him, Whereas I think the potential for 685 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: him being a year removed from that knee surgery. Maybe 686 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: he looks and he suffered a very bad high ankle 687 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: spring in the middle of this season as well, So 688 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: a healthy sake Kuan could have his explosiveness back. And 689 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: we've seen that in the past that it doesn't matter 690 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: what the offense around him looks like. If sa kwanna, 691 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: say Kwan, he is going to be a good fantasy asset. 692 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: So I wouldn't sell right now while this value is 693 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: so low. I would just kind of hold and hope 694 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: for the best. I think I think I'm a hold 695 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: on both of these guys just because, um, you know, 696 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: obviously we saw the offense under Joe Judge the last 697 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: two years has been pretty bad. Um. I like the 698 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: opportunity for both of these guys, when healthy and available, 699 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: to maybe be a little bit better. Um. And I'm 700 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: not saying Daniel Jones is you know, lights out at quarterback, 701 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: but certainly he was a better fit for that offense 702 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: than either Mike Glennon or Jake from So hopefully Daniel 703 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: Jones being back, uh, just hopefully another year with this 704 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: whole group makes it a little bit easier and a 705 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,479 Speaker 1: little bit better. Um. You know, they have a new 706 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator after Jason Garrett was let go. But I 707 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,719 Speaker 1: feel like there's so much unknown, there's so much uncertainty 708 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: that if I'm if I don't have them, I don't 709 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: know that I want to give up assets to try 710 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: and acquire them. Uh. And with like you, with say Kwan, 711 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 1: the value so low, I'm not gonna get anything for it. Um, 712 00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: you know, maybe you can, maybe you can get something 713 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: of a Giants fan for Kadarius Tony. Maybe they're just 714 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: like really over the moon about the guy. But I 715 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: feel like this is one where if I have them, 716 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: I'm holding and if if I don't have them, I 717 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: don't know that I'm super excited to jump out and 718 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: make a move for either of them. Um, last one 719 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: with the Broncos. Uh, this it's your guy, Jerry Judy. 720 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: I was like trying to figure out other guys there. 721 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I was gonna put Javonte Williams there, but 722 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,280 Speaker 1: I already know, like the ceiling, you know, the rush 723 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 1: is gonna be so big for Javont Williams. I feel 724 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,800 Speaker 1: like that was kind of not necessary to talk about. 725 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 1: But uh, Jerry Judy, who we love his talent, the 726 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: situation hasn't quite worked out for him. What are you 727 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: feeling about him? I'm buying Jerry Judy. I believe in 728 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,320 Speaker 1: his talent. I think he's one of the better wide 729 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: receivers in the NFL. Watching him play reminds me a 730 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: lot of Stefon Diggs. Just such a great route runner, 731 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: could be a good weapon after the catch and shown 732 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: us that he could be a downfield weapon as well. 733 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: The only thing one Fangio is gone, so I expect 734 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: him to bring in an offensive minded coach. We usually 735 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: see that when they like a def of mind to 736 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: coach fails, they usually then tend to get an offensive one. 737 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: So I think that could help. But the full expectation 738 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: is that they're going to upgrade the quarterback position. We 739 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: know they were trying very hard last year with with 740 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: Watson and Rogers and it just didn't work out. I 741 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: think they'll bring in someone that is better than Teddy 742 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: and Drew Lock. It's not that hard to find someone 743 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: to be better than those two were this year, and 744 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: I think that is all Jerry Judy needs to uh 745 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: to unlock him. And I think he's got wide receiver 746 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: one upside, but I don't think you need to pay 747 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 1: anywhere close to that right now. Yeah, um, I'm with 748 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: you that because I do think you can get him 749 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,359 Speaker 1: for sort of a depressed price, just because again there's 750 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: a lot of unknown there. Um. I The reason I 751 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: say you can sort of try to get him versus 752 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: Darius Tony is because at least at least have a 753 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: higher level of confidence about what Judy's ceiling is. I 754 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: believe Tony could do some good things, but I'm not 755 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: quite as confident about that. I also feel like the 756 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 1: Broncos are very much in line to have a quarterback upgrade. 757 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 1: It's I think that sort of makes a difference for me, 758 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: whereas I'm you know, I have a good sense that 759 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 1: for New York, um, it's gonna be Daniel Jones again. 760 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,879 Speaker 1: But I do think we're gonna see somebody not Drew 761 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 1: Lock be the quarterback for the Broncos next year. So 762 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 1: that alone, I think is reason to be sort of 763 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: hopeful about what Judy could be. Um. And I think 764 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,720 Speaker 1: because of that, try to get your Broncos now, because 765 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: once they get a new quarterback, everyone is going to 766 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: be to the moon on this offense. And and then 767 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to get any of them, 768 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: not gonna be able to get anybody there. Um. So 769 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: it seems sort of like Aaron Rodgers maybe staying put 770 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 1: in Green Bay. I mean, it seems like everything is 771 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 1: all kumbaya out of Wisconsin right now. UM. So, so 772 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: your thoughts on maybe I don't know Russell Wilson to 773 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 1: Denver does that Does that excite you at all? Yeah? 774 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,879 Speaker 1: That would be amazing. I mean that would be a 775 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: huge quarterback upgrade. And even if it's like like I 776 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: don't know, like the name James Winston pops in my head, 777 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: like James wouldn't be awesome there, Like he wouldn't be 778 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 1: a superstar, but he would. He would be a really 779 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 1: big upgrade for those receivers. So I just want to see. Yeah, 780 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: like like Rogers, Watson, Russ, any of those quarterbacks would 781 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: be awesome. But even if it's someone who is just 782 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: a more aggressive thrower than Teddy, I think would be 783 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 1: a big win for Jerry Judy and and adds for 784 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers Marcus. Like everything is great right now, right, 785 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 1: but one bad playoff game and it could all could 786 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: all crumble right right the moment Matt Lafleur opts for 787 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,320 Speaker 1: a field goal instead of going forward, and all of 788 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: a sudden, work we're right back to where he was. 789 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 1: And you know, we're talking about Aaron Rodgers maybe hosting 790 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,399 Speaker 1: the Prices right or something in the NFC. So we'll 791 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 1: see how that goes, all right, Uh, we're probably gonna 792 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:37,880 Speaker 1: wrap this one up. Will be back of course with you. 793 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: On Thursday, we will look ahead to the playoff weekend, 794 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: which we're gonna have a Monday playoff game. Dude, that's 795 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 1: that's gonna be wild a in l A. I know 796 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 1: we get we get the third third meeting of Cardinals 797 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 1: and Rams, which should be I guess kind of interesting. 798 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 1: These teams know each other. I think I think it 799 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 1: could be a score fest. So maybe we get a 800 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: really fun Monday night game. So we'll dive into That'll 801 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 1: give you some DFS picks for that, and just kind 802 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: of give you our thoughts on the weekend slate as 803 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 1: it comes in a meantime.
