Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly
Speaker 2: source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, and
Speaker 2: whatever stupid stuff they decide to drop into the show. Now,
Speaker 2: here's your host, Paul Charchian.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm Paul Charchi and co
Speaker 1: host today Brian Johnson. Hey, what's up, charch hope you
Speaker 1: thanks for filling in last week. Appreciate that, No problem,
Speaker 1: Super cool.
Speaker 3: We've got a lot to.
Speaker 1: Get to these next four shows, the big Friday shows,
Speaker 1: not the micros we do in the Fantasy Football Weekly micros,
Speaker 1: which we encourage you to check out as well, deep
Speaker 1: dives in one player. They last about ten twelve minutes typically,
Speaker 1: and we're dropping those usually Monday through Thursday. But the
Speaker 1: next four big shows are going to be breaking down teams,
Speaker 1: what their offseason looked like. Do we think they're trending up,
Speaker 1: are they trending down? What are the key you need
Speaker 1: to know, who's being underdrafted, who's being overdrafted. And we're
Speaker 1: gonna get into that beginning with the NFC East and
Speaker 1: the AFC East.
Speaker 3: In just a moment.
Speaker 1: But first let's talk about Thursday's big news, with Dalvin
Speaker 1: Cook's long anticipated release finally coming to fruition.
Speaker 3: What are your first thoughts?
Speaker 1: So let's begining the mya the Minnesota backfield.
Speaker 3: What are your first thoughts there?
Speaker 4: Well, everyone's jumping to out Alexander Madison, Madison to the moon.
Speaker 4: People are a victory lapping when they were getting Madison
Speaker 4: around pick one hundred, which is justified. That's a good
Speaker 4: bargain now. But my gut is, you know people are
Speaker 4: gonna be overdrafting Madison now. It's not just now that
Speaker 4: Cook is gone. Madison isn't gonna get eighty percent of
Speaker 4: the touches and be this magical bell cow Ty. Chandler
Speaker 4: and Brookie Dwayne McBride are certainly going to factor in
Speaker 4: at cost as Madison's ADP is going to surge. I'm
Speaker 4: more interested than those two guys. I'll let people fight
Speaker 4: over Madison, reach for him, and I'll grab both in
Speaker 4: the later. Of course, there are ADP is gonna move
Speaker 4: up to now the Cook has gone, But really my
Speaker 4: attention is shifted to Chandler and McBride, and I'm just
Speaker 4: gonna let people overpay for Madison because he's somewhat med right.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not something special, but I've watched every
Speaker 1: single carry he's ever had in the NFL. Alexander Madison is,
Speaker 1: for the most part, a replaceable part.
Speaker 3: I believe that this is way.
Speaker 1: More of an open competition for the Week one starting
Speaker 1: job than anybody's talking about. And there's assumptions being made
Speaker 1: that ty Chandler can't factor and he was inactive for
Speaker 1: most games last year, that Dwayne McBride's seventh rounder, that
Speaker 1: he won't necessarily be a factor.
Speaker 3: I think this team is.
Speaker 1: A gonna let the best man win through training camp
Speaker 1: and B and Madison is the favorite, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1: And B that if Madison struggles at any point, and
Speaker 1: likely I think he will for some stretch of time,
Speaker 1: they're gonna go to other guys and it could just
Speaker 1: be a rotation.
Speaker 4: It's not an elite offensive line in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: No, it's a middling offensive line. So it's a middle
Speaker 1: of the pack offensive line, which is an upgrade for
Speaker 1: where they from where they've been.
Speaker 4: So real quick. There were already a few free agent
Speaker 4: running backs of lingering out there, Kareem Hunt, Leonard Fournette,
Speaker 4: Ezekiel Alliol, Yeah, Ezekiel Elliott. They are just waiting to
Speaker 4: muck up some backfield situations. Now, Dalvin Cook is kind
Speaker 4: of ahead of that class. But do you think the
Speaker 4: Vikings can afford to dabble or will dabble in Hunt, Fournette,
Speaker 4: Zeke and really make a mess of their backfield again.
Speaker 3: Not at any cost.
Speaker 1: And it makes me if I had to pick one
Speaker 1: of those guys to find their way to Minnesota, it
Speaker 1: would be Hunt, who would be cheap. But at cost
Speaker 1: what it would take to sign in Ezekiel Elliott presumably
Speaker 1: is what they already had Dalvin Cook under contract for.
Speaker 3: So I don't think so.
Speaker 1: And they still this team is still paralyzed in a
Speaker 1: lot of ways until they get Justin Jefferson under contract.
Speaker 1: They really are not in a position to spend any
Speaker 1: money they don't have when they need to make Justin
Speaker 1: Jefferson the highest paid non quarterback in the lead, which
Speaker 1: is coming his way right where Dalvin Cook goes well,
Speaker 1: a future shout, we'll be talking about the Dalvin Cook
Speaker 1: landing spot.
Speaker 4: It might be one of the teams we're discussing.
Speaker 1: It could be, it could be, as we talk about
Speaker 1: the AFC and NFC East beginning.
Speaker 3: You want to go first, let's have you first. Let's
Speaker 3: go to the nfcut.
Speaker 4: How about DALLASR It sounds good. We're going to start
Speaker 4: with the off season moves that matter for each team.
Speaker 4: Starting there. I'm not going to start with a player.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna start with offensive coordinator, former offensive coordinator Kellen
Speaker 4: Moore now with the Chargers. Apparently he was scoring two
Speaker 4: touchdown too many touchdowns too fast.
Speaker 3: There is the second highest scoring offense in the league, right.
Speaker 4: Let's get him out of there. So, yeah, he's gone.
Speaker 4: Mike McCarthy's gonna be calling the plays head coach, as
Speaker 4: most of us know. Last year for Mike McCarthy, by
Speaker 4: the way, probably, but we'll talk about that in a
Speaker 4: second a little more. Ezekiel Elliott aforementioned he has gone,
Speaker 4: most likely not coming back. They've sort of left that
Speaker 4: door open, but highly unlikely. There no real depth added
Speaker 4: at the running back position besides Duce Vaughan drafted in
Speaker 4: like the fifth or sixth round. He's more of a
Speaker 4: past catching specialist. Malik Davis is still there. We might
Speaker 4: mention him in in a few minutes. Talk about him
Speaker 4: a little more. Also gone tight end Dalton Schultz in Houston.
Speaker 4: So we're looking at Jake Ferguson right now. I think
Speaker 4: is the favorite to be the starting tight end. They
Speaker 4: did draft uh Luke schoon scoon Maker Schoon Mocker. I
Speaker 4: don't know to pronounce something. I believe he's a he's
Speaker 4: a mocker even though there's no C. But I like
Speaker 4: I like Ferguson if I'm picking between those two guys
Speaker 4: right now. And Brandon Cook's also in town now at
Speaker 4: wide receiver to be starting alongside Cede Lamb of course,
Speaker 4: probably bumping Michael gallup to the slot. But Cooks can
Speaker 4: play the slot too, but.
Speaker 1: He count although he he he runs the majority of
Speaker 1: his stuff on the outside.
Speaker 4: He does so. But we don't want.
Speaker 1: Really is we don't want to see Ceedee Lamb stuck
Speaker 1: in the slot a lot because his production, just his
Speaker 1: overall fantasy production goes down when he has to run
Speaker 1: from the slot a lot.
Speaker 4: He is great, but I don't like how we always
Speaker 4: downgrade the slot because that's where the worst quarnerbacks are
Speaker 4: most of the time. Sometimes, but it should be a
Speaker 4: sort of a healthy rotation. But we will see Lamb
Speaker 4: in the slot for sure, but like him a lot
Speaker 4: this season. But well, the offensive overall be better or
Speaker 4: worse than last year? Can I say the same? Yeah,
Speaker 4: it kind of feels the same.
Speaker 3: Which would be very good for that offense.
Speaker 4: I still am kind of confused by just letting Kellen
Speaker 4: Moore walk, like you said, one of the most productive
Speaker 4: offensive offenses last year, with Dak Prescott mis seeing nearly
Speaker 4: half the season too. So but I'll say it's about
Speaker 4: the same. The most underdrafted player by ADP right now
Speaker 4: to me is I like where a lot of the
Speaker 4: players are. So this was kind of tough. But is
Speaker 4: Malik Davis, who is essentially free. He's free at RB
Speaker 4: seventy two, and if something were to happen to Pollard,
Speaker 4: we saw that happen at the end of last year,
Speaker 4: broke his ankle, should be good to go at the
Speaker 4: start of the season. I'm Malik Davis as that you're
Speaker 4: starting running back with Deuce Vaughan mixing in at running back,
Speaker 4: and the most overdrafted player by ADPA, Like I said,
Speaker 4: I kind of like where all these guys are. I
Speaker 4: don't hate any either, ADPs, but let's go with Tony
Speaker 4: Pollard who right now is going twenty second overall as
Speaker 4: RB seven. We've been waiting for this forever for Pollard
Speaker 4: to be the man, be the man, get all the
Speaker 4: care and yeah, he very well could be the man.
Speaker 4: And if he gets eighty percent of the touches, he
Speaker 4: has RB one potential. But going at RB seven, he
Speaker 4: seems a little boom or bust there. And in that
Speaker 4: range you can be drafting in one quarterback league's one
Speaker 4: of the big three quarterbacks most of the time, and
Speaker 4: I just feel a little safer going there. Maybe even
Speaker 4: like a T. Higgins is in that range. So he's
Speaker 4: my most overdrafted player, But really a lot of the
Speaker 4: ADPs feel right for the Cowboys right now.
Speaker 3: It makes sense.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Philadelphia, so we have to good cheese steaks.
Speaker 1: Though I assume you're right, I'm gonna be in Philadelphia
Speaker 1: in a few weeks. Ye, but I've never had the
Speaker 1: I've never had and all my trips Philadelphia, though, they've
Speaker 1: always been like, you know, I'm in for like half
Speaker 1: a day and I'm out. I've never been there long
Speaker 1: enough to get a legitimate Philly cheese steak. And what
Speaker 1: I don't want to do, I don't want to go
Speaker 1: to people in Philly have told me, don't go where
Speaker 1: all the tourists go, Ginos and Pats. That's like the yeah,
Speaker 1: don't go there. They're like the you know, the real
Speaker 1: you know, the locals know where to go. If that's you,
Speaker 1: If you can tell me where to go, please on
Speaker 1: Twitter at Paul Charchian tell me where to go in
Speaker 1: Philadelphia for a.
Speaker 3: Great cheese steak.
Speaker 1: All right, So the Eagles had very few fantasy relevant moves,
Speaker 1: although I'll say the Eagles could have the best defense
Speaker 1: in the league. For those that play with team defense,
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles are trending towards the best defense
Speaker 1: in the NFL.
Speaker 3: Coming to this year.
Speaker 1: Running back, they added Rashad Penny for as longing as
Speaker 1: he's healthy. Miles Sanders is out, so he effectively replaces him.
Speaker 3: Big move, a tight end. You want to fill people in.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Dan Arnolds, Dan Arnold, baby, who hey. If
Speaker 4: you was on the Eagles last year when Dallas Goddard.
Speaker 3: Went down, it would have been te one.
Speaker 4: Take a chance on Dan every week for me. You
Speaker 4: might be getting there be it running back through it
Speaker 4: was another edition correct DeAndre.
Speaker 3: Swift, DeAndre Swift, thank you very much. Yep, and he
Speaker 3: was coming up next DeAndre Swift. That's fine, that's okay.
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift is a notable addition as well, pass catching
Speaker 1: back and probably pass catching specialist. And Swift to me
Speaker 1: pretty much ends any hope for Kenneth Gainwell being a
Speaker 1: meaningful contributor from a fantasy standpoint.
Speaker 4: He's gonna need some injuries to be ignificant role.
Speaker 3: I got him, I got I got Gamewell in the
Speaker 3: Dynasty League. I'm gonnaut him ot right.
Speaker 1: I'll mention this quarterback, Marcus Mariota is there is one now,
Speaker 1: one of the better backups you could have. So it
Speaker 1: just allotted safety for the receivers as well, and they
Speaker 1: also added a utility lineman, Tyler Steam for a little
Speaker 1: offensive lineup grade. Now, will the Eagles be a better
Speaker 1: or worse offense than last year? Well, they were number
Speaker 1: two in points per game and number three and yards
Speaker 1: per game, so you know they're gonna be great again.
Speaker 1: And so they're gonna be right in that that area
Speaker 1: because they're returning all their major parts.
Speaker 4: The threat is, like you said, their defense is so good,
Speaker 4: and that's what you don't really want for your fantasy
Speaker 4: players on offense and sometimes yes, well yeah in a
Speaker 4: lot of cases, but yeah, that's the one.
Speaker 1: It might help the running game and there might be
Speaker 1: extra carries to be had out there.
Speaker 4: That is true.
Speaker 1: The most underdrafted player. And you'll appreciate this, And I
Speaker 1: know you and I are going to be in lockstep
Speaker 1: on this. Not Dan Arnold, not yet. Dallas Goddard perennially overlooked.
Speaker 1: I think at tight end he's going off the board
Speaker 1: at tight end six pick seventy one. Overall, he's going
Speaker 1: after Kyle Pits. Now, even you, the biggest Kyle Pitts
Speaker 1: supporter in the world, you would take Dallas Goddard before
Speaker 1: Kyle Pits, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4: It depends what kind of Formautain talking le suck killing
Speaker 4: me right now. It's a coin flip. If I had
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts, I'm really just drafting beast ball right now.
Speaker 4: If I Jalen Hurts, I'm taking Goddard. It depends. But
Speaker 4: Goddard safer pick this year, for sure. But you know,
Speaker 4: to Dynasty like start up, I'm gonna still go for
Speaker 4: Pits over Goddard. But Goddard would have been Goddard is
Speaker 4: an every week.
Speaker 3: Top he finish his tight end six last year. I
Speaker 3: mean that, yeah, hurt six tight end is huge? Yeah right, great,
Speaker 3: that's yeah, he.
Speaker 4: Would have been the top three tight end. I know.
Speaker 4: Probably Goddard is the safer and no, he's not safe
Speaker 4: boring either. He's an election.
Speaker 3: No, Scoddard's got big upside.
Speaker 1: The most overdraft player in the Eagles to me is
Speaker 1: DeVonta Smith. He's going off the board at wide receiver twelve,
Speaker 1: pick twenty. And here's why, I think that's just too
Speaker 1: early for Smith, who is, don't get me wrong, a
Speaker 1: good receiver. He's not built for touchdowns physically, right, He's
Speaker 1: you know, he is not going to be like you know,
Speaker 1: he's not the big body, box out guys in the
Speaker 1: end zone kund of receiver.
Speaker 3: He's the opposite of that. And there's a.
Speaker 1: Ton of competition for touchdowns on an Eagle roster that's
Speaker 1: just loaded with scoring potential. I just I'm worried DeVonta
Speaker 1: Smith could be sitting on a five touchdown season, six
Speaker 1: seven touchdown season, and he's got to share receptions with
Speaker 1: AJ Brown, Dallas Goddard, Quz Watkins, Kenneth Gainwell, deanre Smith,
Speaker 1: Dan Arnold.
Speaker 3: I mean it's just there's just you know, he's a
Speaker 3: good player, but a wide receiver twelve, pick twenty, that's
Speaker 3: too that is too rich for my blood.
Speaker 4: On Devonte Smith, Yeah, he's a He's a much better
Speaker 4: basketball player than in standard formats where you have to
Speaker 4: play him every week because you're gonna get your down
Speaker 4: weeks from DeVante Smith for sure.
Speaker 3: Let's talk to New York Giants.
Speaker 4: Let's do it. Offseason moves that matter. The one that
Speaker 4: matters most for sure is they traded for Darren Waller,
Speaker 4: who is a tight end as we all know, but
Speaker 4: instantaneously becomes a top receiving option for the New York Giants.
Speaker 3: The top receiving he's the best receiver on the team.
Speaker 4: And he's not gonna be my most underdrafted player, but
Speaker 4: he was close, right because right now he's going off
Speaker 4: the board at tight end seven around pick eighty. He
Speaker 4: has tight end one potential. I mean, I'm probably not
Speaker 4: gonna you serve Travis Kelsey yet, but he's he's gonna
Speaker 4: be in the mix. He's he could be in the
Speaker 4: mix if he stays healthy for New York all season.
Speaker 4: Giants also drafted Jalen Hyatt, who is one of their
Speaker 4: like four or five slot receivers now, alongside Paris Campbell
Speaker 4: who they signed. I'm not too not much fantasy relevance
Speaker 4: there for Campbell. We'll talk about Hyatt a little bit
Speaker 4: more in a minute or two. And lastly, it should
Speaker 4: be noted that the Giants gave Daniel Jones the bag
Speaker 4: over the offseason, paid him at.
Speaker 3: Over thirty five million thirty seven million something like that.
Speaker 4: Meaning this could most likely be Saquon Barkley's last season
Speaker 4: with the Giants. And we love running backs in their
Speaker 4: contract year because they just get run into the ground
Speaker 4: and he's tagged. But same thing. Yeah, it could be
Speaker 4: his last year with the Giants, so they may just
Speaker 4: give him the classic DeMarco Murray treatment.
Speaker 3: Well, and the Josh Jacobs treatment from last year.
Speaker 4: That's true, and Josh Jacobs might get the Josh Jacobs
Speaker 4: treatment again. Well, we'll talk about the West later on
Speaker 4: in the month. But will the offense be better or
Speaker 4: worse than last year? The loss of Kenny Galladay certainly
Speaker 4: hurt stuff.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, how are you gonna make up those sevens?
Speaker 4: Is whatever? He just disappeared into thin air. You know
Speaker 4: where he is Aruba, just to spend in his highlands
Speaker 4: with Kingsbury. Cliff Kingsbury, I heard he can't. I think
Speaker 4: he got a job Kingsbury sistant coach summer who cares,
Speaker 4: But I think he'll be a little bit better. The
Speaker 4: addition of Waller, he's the They didn't have a receiver
Speaker 4: of his caliber last year, or it's certainly not a
Speaker 4: tight end of his caliber. Jalen highlight. Hyatt is a
Speaker 4: nice player, a nice addition. They still got Barkley.
Speaker 3: I'm Luke Warman.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. Well, he's especially in this off Eneah,
Speaker 4: We're gonna get to him a little later. But Brian
Speaker 4: Dable a great, great offensive minded head coach in his
Speaker 4: second year now, so they're only gonna improve on offense.
Speaker 4: I think the most underdrafted player to me, again, Waller
Speaker 4: was close, but I had to go with Isaiah Hodgins,
Speaker 4: who right now is going off the board at wide
Speaker 4: receiver eighty and outside of Waller, he's the other big
Speaker 4: body of guy. He's the starting outside boundary one of
Speaker 4: the boundary receivers. He only played half the year last
Speaker 4: year he was picked. You know, he was on the
Speaker 4: couch basically, well, no, he wasn't. He was waived. He
Speaker 4: was drafted by the Bills, waved put on waivers. They
Speaker 4: were hoping to get him back. The Giants were the
Speaker 4: only team to put in a claim on Hodgens. Hodgens,
Speaker 4: who really he was serviceable the second myself like fantasy
Speaker 4: service totally, and I got a peacock little I put him.
Speaker 4: I used him as a take on a few times.
Speaker 4: I was tweeting out, Hey, I'm grabbing him in every
Speaker 4: dynasty league. I can stashing him because he's six '
Speaker 4: four and and the Bills have historically let go a
Speaker 4: lot of good wide receivers in the past. So Hodgens
Speaker 4: at pick one eighty two, wide receiver eighty he's going
Speaker 4: after Jalen Hyatt, who is the most overdrafted player to
Speaker 4: me as wide receiver sixty seven. And that's late, that's
Speaker 4: like pick one fifty. But still that's he should not
Speaker 4: be going before Isaiah Hodgins in my mind, he's totally
Speaker 4: small bodied, and they got a plethora of those guys
Speaker 4: Wandale Robinson.
Speaker 3: So would you rather Robinson at costs?
Speaker 4: For sure? Robinson going after Hodgens, I believe, But I'm
Speaker 4: a little worried about Robinson coming off the knee injury
Speaker 4: from last year, so I'm not too excited about his
Speaker 4: prospects either because of Hyatt. They're just kind of canna
Speaker 4: eat into each other's workload.
Speaker 3: Let's go to Washington, Okay, I used to live around there.
Speaker 4: We can Washington. Good Virginia.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll be there too. In the summer.
Speaker 1: A few weeks offseason moves that matter here was like
Speaker 1: basically nothing. I mean Washington was they just basically stood
Speaker 1: pat guards.
Speaker 3: They I'll mention this. They upgraded the guards.
Speaker 1: They added Andrew Wiley, who's a free agent for the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: Honesty's not great, and Brydon Daniels in the draft their
Speaker 1: marginal guard upgrades.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 3: Otherwise, really no changes this offense will be. However, I
Speaker 3: think a little better this year.
Speaker 1: And I went back to prep for the segment. I
Speaker 1: went back and watched every Sam Howell play from last year,
Speaker 1: most of which there weren't many, basically just week the
Speaker 1: Week eighteen game. The dude's really interesting, really interesting, way
Speaker 1: more than I thought. And first a couple of things.
Speaker 1: His mobility is legit now Okay, clearly not on the
Speaker 1: level of some of the elite runners. He's not Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: and he's not Josh Allen, and he's not Jalen Hurts,
Speaker 1: and he's not justin fields, but Sam Howels and that
Speaker 1: is right behind those guys in mobility, and I don't
Speaker 1: think that's something that people really recognize about him. I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna finish with five rushing touchdowns and like
Speaker 1: twenty five to thirty rushing yards per game. In that
Speaker 1: Week eighteen game, they gave him a bunch of designed runs,
Speaker 1: a bunch of designed runs, and the guys he's got
Speaker 1: some legit wheels. I think they're gonna use him this way.
Speaker 1: They gave him a lot of bootlegs and rolling pockets
Speaker 1: where they could use Sam Howell's mobility, and he was
Speaker 1: pretty accurate when he threw, even from the rolling pocket.
Speaker 1: He was throwing accurate passes. And the other thing I
Speaker 1: liked about how they used Sam Howell in Week eighteen,
Speaker 1: they gave him some deep passes to throw and they
Speaker 1: were good. He had one that was bad, but he
Speaker 1: had a bunch of deep passes that were really nice,
Speaker 1: and sideline deep passes to John Dotson. There's I'm not
Speaker 1: saying Sam Howell to Johan dottson his.
Speaker 3: Montana to Rice.
Speaker 1: But what I am saying is there's reason for upside
Speaker 1: in Sam Howell's legs and arm, and I'm really intrigued
Speaker 1: by him. I think he's a I love him as
Speaker 1: a late round super flex starting quarterback because he's gonna
Speaker 1: hit you with some big games rushing and a few
Speaker 1: decent games passing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, or a backup in one quarterback leagues if you
Speaker 4: for sure. Yeah. I remember he was a rookie last
Speaker 4: year out of North Carolina. Some were saying he was
Speaker 4: going to be a first second round pick and he
Speaker 4: fell all the way to the fifth round and only
Speaker 4: really knew why. So yeah, I think and Washington is
Speaker 4: smart to me. They're gonna see what they got in Howl.
Speaker 4: They got Presett. They realized they're not going to beat
Speaker 4: the Eagles, right, so they they stood pat. We'll see
Speaker 4: if they have and Howl and that they'll enter the
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams lottery.
Speaker 1: Now they got Jacobe Brisette, as you mentioned, and right
Speaker 1: now they're saying it's a it's an open competition. Brissette
Speaker 1: might win the job at a training camp because Sam
Speaker 1: Howell is still so young, and he's only got the
Speaker 1: one start. And right now Washington thinks, you know, they're
Speaker 1: you know, they're playing like the super for the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl for thirty like thirty two other teams. I suppose,
Speaker 1: so they might start percent. But I'm telling you, Sam
Speaker 1: Howells got some of the attributes that you want on
Speaker 1: your fantasy team. And I think I think for basically
Speaker 1: what he costs you, which is nothing, I don't have
Speaker 1: his ADP in front of me.
Speaker 4: Do you I remember hy Oh he's like quarterback. He's
Speaker 4: good quarterback. Thirty Yeah, I think he's a very leet
Speaker 4: round pick. I remember I or this is probably why
Speaker 4: I fell in the draft. It came out before, right
Speaker 4: before the draft, that he's never eaten any bee for seafood.
Speaker 4: He only eats chicken his whole life. He's only chicken.
Speaker 4: He's out. He got the Will Lewis treatment because the
Speaker 4: Levis puts Mayo and his coffee and he's banana. Really
Speaker 4: concerned about your drop two.
Speaker 1: The most underdrafted player, though, is not Sam Hobbells. Obviously,
Speaker 1: based on everything I've said, I like.
Speaker 3: Him a lot. It's John Dotson.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We broke him down to detail in an FFW micro.
Speaker 1: I don't like an April He's this kid's got some
Speaker 1: real talent. Wide receiver forty off the board right now
Speaker 1: is wide receiver forty as the seventy seventh pick overall.
Speaker 3: He's going to outscore Terry McLaurin this year.
Speaker 4: Could happen. He the season very strong goal.
Speaker 1: He did improve dramatically over the course of last year.
Speaker 1: And I think if you believe in Sam Howell's development
Speaker 1: and his arm strength, it's there's gonna be bombs away
Speaker 1: to Dotson who's very fast. So and even if he doesn't,
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett's quality backup. So if you want more detail
Speaker 1: in John dottson why we love him, go back to
Speaker 1: the FFW micro that was posted on April twenty fourth
Speaker 1: for a deep dive on him. The most overdrafted player
Speaker 1: I just said his name, Terry McLaurin. If I think
Speaker 1: that John Dotson's gonna outscore McLaurin, then I think he's
Speaker 1: being overdrafted. Mclaurin's basically going at half or double the
Speaker 1: price wide receiver twenty six, forty eighth overall, and with
Speaker 1: McLaurin you get eleven hundred yards and five touchdowns every
Speaker 1: year we can Fantasy owners can find eleven hundred yards
Speaker 1: and five touchdowns at the seven to eleven.
Speaker 3: You do not need to go draft that spot.
Speaker 4: The Commanders have one of the tougher backfields to forecast.
Speaker 4: If you're gonna draft either Brian Robinson or Antonio Gibson.
Speaker 4: Robinson ADP Round one OWAI eight, Gibson one fourteen. Who'd effer?
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk. We're doing an FFW micro alright.
Speaker 1: The next week we're going to get one of those,
Speaker 1: and you'll get a chance to break down break down
Speaker 1: his prospects, and it's it's there's a really interesting twist
Speaker 1: to Antonio Gibson potentially coming up this uh this season
Speaker 1: that I can't wait to talk about. All right, I
Speaker 1: want to mention, speaking of things I can't wait to
Speaker 1: talk about. Gullantine Leagues dot com available and open for business.
Speaker 3: Start your league now.
Speaker 1: You can have a private league with friends between eight
Speaker 1: and eighteen people, or join a public league for at
Speaker 1: whatever prize level you want to play for, totally up
Speaker 1: to you, and drafts happening all the time. We've got
Speaker 1: numerous drafts happening right now as I'm speaking, and as
Speaker 1: you're listening, there are drafts going on at gatine leagues
Speaker 1: dot com.
Speaker 3: We encourage you to check that out.
Speaker 1: A total redesign of the mobile app coming later this month.
Speaker 1: If you load up the mobile app out, you'll get
Speaker 1: last year's app. But by the time this season starts
Speaker 1: really in Earnest and July August, the new mobile app
Speaker 1: will be there and you'll be drafting on that, which
Speaker 1: is beautiful. So yeah, uh, let's uh, let's let's see
Speaker 1: what's happening gonna dot com.
Speaker 3: We're very excited for that.
Speaker 1: We'll take a break and we're gonna go to the
Speaker 1: teams in the a f C East. Welcome back Paul
Speaker 1: Charchie and Brian Johnson with you. We're breaking down the
Speaker 1: teams in the East. We've already done the NFC, now
Speaker 1: the a f C.
Speaker 3: Uh, I'll let you go first. Do you want to uh?
Speaker 3: Do you want to start with the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we can do that. Off season moves that matter. Uh.
Speaker 4: They let Mike Kasicki walk. He's now in New England.
Speaker 4: We'll talk about him.
Speaker 3: I'll talk about him in a few minutes.
Speaker 4: And we'll also talk about the Dolphins current tight end
Speaker 4: situation and a little less time than that. They also
Speaker 4: drafted Devon a chain. Is that what we're going with
Speaker 4: or is it a chain?
Speaker 3: I think it's a chain.
Speaker 4: I'm just calling one chains devon one chains. He'll compete
Speaker 4: with the Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson for touches. We'll
Speaker 4: talk about one chain a little bit more to in
Speaker 4: a minute or two. And lastly, they signed wide receiver
Speaker 4: Brax and Barrios. Not too much relevance here. He'll compete
Speaker 4: with Cedric Wilson for snaps from the slot. But of
Speaker 4: course we're all about Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddell, and
Speaker 4: I'm talking about wide receivers with the Dolphins. Will the
Speaker 4: offense be better or worse than last year? I'm going to
Speaker 4: stay better because I'm going to be optimistic and say
Speaker 4: Tua will play a full season, all right. I hope so,
Speaker 4: And that's all that needs to happen for it to
Speaker 4: be better. But Mike White interesting late round flyer and
Speaker 4: super flex leagues right now, not one quarterback leagues. If
Speaker 4: something were unfortunately to happen to Tua to his head specifically.
Speaker 1: And the next one will probably be the last. Yeah,
Speaker 1: That's the thing that worries me so much about Tua is,
Speaker 1: you know what, like a lot of guys, you know,
Speaker 1: anybody could get a concussion. But if it's week two
Speaker 1: and Tua gets a concussion, I don't think I don't
Speaker 1: think the team has it even in them to bring
Speaker 1: him back until November or something. I just think there
Speaker 1: would be so much momentum for him to just retire
Speaker 1: at that point.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm serned. I'm I'm essentially not drafting him right now,
Speaker 4: and hopefully he proves me wrong and everyone wrong. He's
Speaker 4: taking those precautionary measures, but there is certainly cause for concern.
Speaker 4: So two is not my most underdrafted player. He could
Speaker 4: be if again he plays with the full season. But uh,
Speaker 4: I'm going with Durham Smythe. We were talking about the
Speaker 4: tight end situation. He's free and he's tight end thirty
Speaker 4: eight right now. And you know, if you're if you're
Speaker 4: sloughing tight ends and you're just taking like three in
Speaker 4: the later rounds, why not Durham Smythe. I'm blanking on
Speaker 4: his competition. I was not trout man. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: He's on Denver now. Denver signed the other tight end
Speaker 4: that was in Miami. So it's the durham Smyth show.
Speaker 4: When it comes to tight end and you know it's
Speaker 4: it's gonna it should be a high flying offense and
Speaker 4: tight ends were involved last year. So durham smythe last round.
Speaker 4: If he doesn't pan out, you drop him and you
Speaker 4: pick up the hottest waiver wire commodity Week one. So
Speaker 4: I'm going because there really wasn't a lot of I
Speaker 4: didn't see a lot of underdrafted candidates for the they'll
Speaker 4: get me overdrafted overdrafted again. Everyone seemed about right where
Speaker 4: they were, But I went with one chain going off
Speaker 4: the board. Iss RB thirty six. Love his prospects, his potential.
Speaker 4: He's very fast. He's not like a bruiser by any means,
Speaker 4: not a three down back. But I don't know. It's
Speaker 4: really the matter of who I gueld getting his range.
Speaker 4: Antonio Gibson, who we sort of talked about. Damien Harris
Speaker 4: is there, who we'll talk about a little more in
Speaker 4: a minute. I just I don't know. He's got a
Speaker 4: competition in Mostert and Wilson. I want to see what
Speaker 4: he brings to the table in his rookie year and
Speaker 4: be going essentially inside the top thirty five running backs
Speaker 4: A little too early for me.
Speaker 3: A lot of there could be.
Speaker 1: I think it looks like it's going to be a
Speaker 1: frustrating committee in Miami.
Speaker 3: And if Dalvin Cook goes there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, said he's one of the teams, or if
Speaker 4: this is one of the teams, or he could essentially
Speaker 4: go to and we'll talk about another team he might
Speaker 4: be able to go to too.
Speaker 3: Cook lives, you know, grew up in Miami area at
Speaker 3: South Florida. Yeah, let's go to the Jets.
Speaker 1: The off season moves that matters obviously begins with Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: He brought in two key targets from Green Bay, Alan Lazard,
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb. They also added me Cole Hardman in free
Speaker 1: agency kind of quietly. They also a couple of things
Speaker 1: that really people may not have noticed. They drafted interior
Speaker 1: lineman Joe Tipman in the second round, which I love
Speaker 1: Jenson Tipman.
Speaker 4: Oh tip oh Tipman. I thought it was the tip Okay, yes.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the opportunity to enunciate that, no problem.
Speaker 1: And they drafted running back is he a Bana Kanda
Speaker 1: who found himself honestly in a horrible landing spot.
Speaker 4: I hated it. He's one of my favorite running back
Speaker 4: prospects coming out.
Speaker 1: Right, but now he's stuck with Breisall coming back from
Speaker 1: his ACL Michael Carter and Zonova Knight looked damn good
Speaker 1: when they needed him at the end of the year.
Speaker 1: So all that and they traded away Elijah Moore. I
Speaker 1: think this offense is obviously going to be a lot
Speaker 1: better because Aaron Rodgers, even at the bitter end of
Speaker 1: his career, is way better than Zach Wilson.
Speaker 3: Maybe a lot better. Well, maybe the whole offense will
Speaker 3: be a lot better. I'll mention this.
Speaker 1: It's easy to rip Zach Wilson, and he wasn't good,
Speaker 1: But the team averaged twenty points per game with Zach
Speaker 1: Wilson thirteen without Zach Wilson.
Speaker 4: Did that sort of coincide with Grease Hall going down
Speaker 4: though two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably a contributing factor in that as well. So
Speaker 1: Benching Wilson was not auditioned by subtraction.
Speaker 3: It was subtraction. By subtraction.
Speaker 1: Offense didn't necessarily get better, although Mike White to me
Speaker 1: looked like the best quarterback they had on roster, and
Speaker 1: then as you mentioned at least Tam went to Miami.
Speaker 1: So who's the most underdrafted player for the Jets. It's
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers go off the board at quarterback sixteen, one
Speaker 1: hundred and twentieth overall, one season removed from being quarterback
Speaker 1: eight and last year he played with an injured thumb
Speaker 1: and rookie wideouts. Now he's got Garrett Wilson to throw too,
Speaker 1: and Al Lazard and Randall Cobb and so here he
Speaker 1: comes in healthy hand, all these good receivers. You know,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't would be surprised if Aaron Rodgers go after
Speaker 1: the board at quarterback sixteen, if you finished at quarterback ten.
Speaker 4: Oh not at all?
Speaker 3: Quarterback Ten's totally reasonable.
Speaker 4: Got to throw a name out there real quick. I
Speaker 4: think it's getting underdrafted too. Is Tyler Conklin aka Tyler
Speaker 4: Gronklin tight end twenty three and with Rogers.
Speaker 1: In town, now he could at least he has competent Yeah,
Speaker 1: at least he has competent quarterbacks.
Speaker 4: He's going a little too cheap for me.
Speaker 1: The most overdrafted player really Garrett Wilson, Breese Hall the
Speaker 1: only Jets getting drafted early. So I didn't really have
Speaker 1: a choice, I had to pick one of them, and
Speaker 1: I love Garrett Wilson, so I'll take Breese Hall as
Speaker 1: guy overdrafted player. He's going after board running back eleven,
Speaker 1: thirtieth overall, and I love the kid. After a slow
Speaker 1: start to the season, he was terrific in weeks four
Speaker 1: through seven and then probably got hurt. So I hope
Speaker 1: he's healthy and effective as early as week one, But
Speaker 1: running back eleven, I'm getting a paltry discount on a
Speaker 1: player coming off ACL and it could be a JK.
Speaker 3: Dobbins scenario all over again. I mean JK.
Speaker 1: Dobbins will look great, then he got the ACL and
Speaker 1: he wasn't able to be anywhere near like.
Speaker 3: Himself in the first year back.
Speaker 1: So I just feel like that's a heavy price to
Speaker 1: pay for Breece Hall.
Speaker 4: And the fact they drafted a Banaconda maintained Michael carter
Speaker 4: Is on Evian Knight. It's basically a no go for me.
Speaker 4: He's not going to be the player you expect him
Speaker 4: to be when he comes back. He's not gonna have
Speaker 4: the he's not gonna get the workload you're you're wanting
Speaker 4: from him either. I mean the guillotine league's full stop.
Speaker 1: No way super to anybody coming off ACL highly dangerous
Speaker 1: in a guillotine format.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm off. Just there's just no discs.
Speaker 1: There's not a big enough discount built into Bree Hall's price,
Speaker 1: no matter how much we love him.
Speaker 3: Okay, next team up is the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 4: Brian another team Dalvin Cook. There are rumors he could
Speaker 4: go with there just.
Speaker 1: Because alongside, but it'd be pretty cool if it worked
Speaker 1: out that way.
Speaker 4: It would, but it wouldn't be cool for Damian Harris,
Speaker 4: who right now it was the biggest offseason move they made.
Speaker 4: Devin Singletary now in Houston. Harris most likely the you know,
Speaker 4: the early down back at the first second down touches,
Speaker 4: goal line touches. If it's not Josh Allen, not going
Speaker 4: to be James Cook, that's for sure. They also drafted
Speaker 4: Dalton Kincaid in the first round, very athletic tight end
Speaker 4: who's expected to play quote unquote big slot. Isaiah McKenzie
Speaker 4: is now with the Colts, so really their need of
Speaker 4: a slot receiver, We'll talk about one of the other receivers.
Speaker 4: I like that's not Stefan Diggs or Gabe Davis in
Speaker 4: a few minutes. And last year they signed Latavius Murray
Speaker 4: as well at running back, but very little fantasy relevance
Speaker 4: there for now for Murray, will the offense be better
Speaker 4: or worse than last year? It's not going to be wetter. Yeah,
Speaker 4: But Damien Harris is an upgrade over David Singletary. I
Speaker 4: think you would agree. I know you love it.
Speaker 3: I love Damien Harris, so you don't have to sell
Speaker 3: me on it.
Speaker 4: A healthy Damien Harris. H Dalton Kincaid could be an
Speaker 4: X factor. Travis Kelcey light per se something like that.
Speaker 4: Your receiving tight end. Yeah, he's a you know, he
Speaker 4: could Kyle pittshead over a thousand yards his rookie year
Speaker 4: and he was.
Speaker 3: But I was told that that was generational output. It
Speaker 3: was a rookie.
Speaker 4: Well it was like Mike Ditka did it in the
Speaker 4: old days, and like Jeremy Shock, you don't no one
Speaker 4: else has done it. But uh, kin Kaid, you know,
Speaker 4: I think he's an upgrade over Cole Beasley in Isaiah McKenzie.
Speaker 4: It's not hard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if he's gonna be a stand up slot receiver.
Speaker 4: But uh, someone who could work their way into the
Speaker 4: mix or they will he will work his way into
Speaker 4: the receiving mix. Is my most underdrafted player, and that's
Speaker 4: Khalil Shakir, who's a rookie. Last year showed some flashes,
Speaker 4: didn't get a ton of opportunities. But now with McKenzie gone, Uh.
Speaker 3: He should be in the rotation slot receiver.
Speaker 4: Probably, And what going off the board is wide receiver
Speaker 4: eighty three. That's just inside the top two hundred picks,
Speaker 4: almost outside of it. Uh. And if something were to
Speaker 4: happen to Diggs or Davis, he he can go to
Speaker 4: the outside too. He has that size. So uh, Shakir.
Speaker 4: If I'm drafting Josh Allen best ball, I'm grabbing him
Speaker 4: in virtually every draft. I do that just to stack
Speaker 4: him with Allen. He's dirt cheap and the most overdrafted
Speaker 4: player to me. James Cook going off the board as
Speaker 4: RB thirty right now, almost two full rounds before Damien Harris.
Speaker 4: Maybe that makes sense in full PPR leagues, but in
Speaker 4: non PPR even half PPR, way too early for me.
Speaker 4: He's not getting the goal line. Touches a lot of
Speaker 4: you know, Alan can run, as we all know, and
Speaker 4: Damien Harris in town. There's lots of receiving threats and Diggs, Davis,
Speaker 4: mckin caage, Shakir So RB thirty. That's way too early
Speaker 4: for James Cook for me, especially if you got a
Speaker 4: if it's not best ball and you have to pick
Speaker 4: pick your spots when to start him, it's going to
Speaker 4: be a frustrating season.
Speaker 3: I'll mention.
Speaker 1: We also broke down James Cook in a Fantasy Football
Speaker 1: Weekly micro addition probably six weeks ago, and Tyler and
Speaker 1: I came to the same conclusion that he's being overdrafted
Speaker 1: for the likely productivity that he's going to give you,
Speaker 1: and so had we had some real hesitancy on James Cook,
Speaker 1: which I didn't.
Speaker 3: Expect because you know, just I you know, eyes on him.
Speaker 3: He's a pretty good back.
Speaker 1: But there were there was a lot of concern that
Speaker 1: we that we that we found, especially given his ADP
Speaker 1: final team We're going to talk about over the course
Speaker 1: of the show New England. The offseason moves that matter
Speaker 1: were just a few. The aforementioned Damien Harris, who I
Speaker 1: love and I'm I'm I'm disappointed in the Patriots decision
Speaker 1: to let him go, and then they backfilmed with James Robinson,
Speaker 1: who was awful last year. I I don't think James
Speaker 1: Robinson's gonna make the team. We'll find out, but they
Speaker 1: signed James Robinson you mentioned earlier. Patriots also signed Mike Kiseki.
Speaker 1: They traded away John O John whom I beloved John,
Speaker 1: and the Patriots signed wide receiver Jujus Smith Schuster after
Speaker 1: allowing Jacoby Myers to leave for Las Vegas. This offense
Speaker 1: is going to be bad, worse than last year because
Speaker 1: Jujus smiths Schuster is a sizable downgrade from Jacoby Myers.
Speaker 1: Robinson is a far worse runner than Damian Harris. Riley
Speaker 1: Reef is a starting right tackle at the very bitter
Speaker 1: end of his career. We thought he was gonna hang
Speaker 1: it up three years ago. Mac Jones it's a make
Speaker 1: or break year for him, but there's he's shown no
Speaker 1: signs that he's going to break out in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: I think this offense gets worse. The most underdrafted player
Speaker 1: and this guy does interest me. Starting wide receiver, probable
Speaker 1: starting wide receiver for the Patriots, Taekwon Thornton in year two.
Speaker 1: He's going off the board, basically free wide receiver seventy five,
Speaker 1: Pick one hundred and seventy one. Taekwon Thornton is the
Speaker 1: most athletic upside of any of the Patriots receivers by
Speaker 1: a mile. He is a second rounder last year. Now
Speaker 1: in his sophomore year, he's got a chance to be
Speaker 1: the Week one starter bipas.
Speaker 3: All he has to do is get past Devonte.
Speaker 1: Parker, which is not tough, and he would be the
Speaker 1: starter last year. After doing basically nothing for the first
Speaker 1: thirteen weeks, Taekwon Thornton came alive in December and he
Speaker 1: averaged fifty two snaps per game, So we had earned
Speaker 1: the trust of Bill Belichick at the end of the year,
Speaker 1: and I think Thornton's going to be the starter rolling
Speaker 1: into this season. The most underdraft overdrafted player is Juju
Speaker 1: Smith Schuster, who brings nothing to the table, zero upside athletically,
Speaker 1: a possession receiver and a bottom tier passing offense going
Speaker 1: off the board way too high wide receiver forty nine,
Speaker 1: pick ninety eight overall. No way am I burning a
Speaker 1: double digit pick on Juju Smith Schuster.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've put him in my anti hue every draft
Speaker 4: I've done.
Speaker 3: Do not move thickness guy with I will just.
Speaker 4: Delete him from Yeah the player listing, please, I like it.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 4: Any other thoughts, No, yeah, the Patriots are gonna be gross. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Thornton and of course from Andre Stevens. Yeah, only only two.
Speaker 1: I almost used him for the most underdrafted player because
Speaker 1: I don't think people realize that he's got like top five.
Speaker 3: Running back up side.
Speaker 4: He does, but he is. He's not like he's going
Speaker 4: incredibly late either, He's he's late second guy.
Speaker 1: I think I think his ADP is like pick yeah
Speaker 1: twenty or something, so yeah, it's.
Speaker 4: Not He's right there with the Hollered. Yeah, he's right
Speaker 4: in that range. Yep.
Speaker 1: And if if Stevenson he can catch a little, if
Speaker 1: they give him passes it, then you know all bets
Speaker 1: are off because Stevens is a really good runner, So
Speaker 1: that would be that'd be a fascinating development.
Speaker 3: I know some people are on the.
Speaker 1: Ti Montgomery train. Yeah I'm not listening to.
Speaker 4: It and been there, done that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly how many times do you have to be
Speaker 1: wrong before you stop telling us Ti Montgomery is going
Speaker 1: to be an elite pass catching running back.
Speaker 3: Not listening he's got like.
Speaker 4: Well, he's like a tight tight end eligibility now or something.
Speaker 4: I know he doesn't have that, but he's like a
Speaker 4: wide receiverybody's running. I don't know that's that's really the
Speaker 4: angle there with him, or I don't even care. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not following for that again.
