1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

3
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 3: What is up Straight Fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre.

4
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: Straight Fire.

5
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 3: For Friday, August twenty fifth, We have a phenomenal guest today,

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 3: Matthew Berry, the fantasy football legend.

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: He left ESPN. He's doing stuff for NBC Sports.

8
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 3: He's got a flotilla of fantasy football websites information.

9
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: It doesn't get much better than this.

10
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 3: And I know a lot of drafts are next week,

11
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 3: so Matthew's gonna hammer you with all the questions that

12
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 3: you need answered for to win your fantasy football draft.

13
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: I think I'm in five leagues this year.

14
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 3: It was six if I include my son's two drafts

15
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 3: that I One of them I run and the other

16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 3: I just provide support.

17
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: But it's mostly his show. He did win in one

18
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: of his.

19
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 3: Last year, of course, not the one I was commission

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 3: I don't even know if he made the playoffs. You

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 3: might have either lost in the first round or missed

22
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 3: the playoffs. But it was a good year in fantasy

23
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 3: for me last year. I haven't done the research yet,

24
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: but the good news is I will have a lot

25
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: of time to do research before my draft next week.

26
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: Why is that this will be the last podcast for

27
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: a minute, as I've got to undergo a bit of

28
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: a medical procedure and it's not a major one. It's

29
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: a minor one, but I'm gonna undergo it. And doctor says,

30
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: I will not be able to really talk for a

31
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 3: little bit. It's gotta throw a major wrinkle into my life.

32
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 3: And obviously I can't do the herd and I won't

33
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: be able to take a podcast. It's not a major procedure.

34
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 3: By the way, the phrase medical procedure hearkens back to

35
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: the great movie Whiplash. Miles Teller and another guy actor

36
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 3: I don't know. They're talking about sheet music and one

37
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: guy can't read. You can't memorize the sheet music, and

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: he goes, it's I've got a medical procedure or a

39
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: medical situation or a medical condition. And the guy who

40
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 3: plays j Jonah Jamison and the Spider Man movies, who

41
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: I think won an Academy Award for Whiplash, busts out.

42
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: Medical condition. Who are you fucking son? Jay Gupta?

43
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 4: Right?

44
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: And I will never forget being in the cinema and

45
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 3: just busting out laughing so hard because obviously Sanjay Gupta,

46
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 3: you know CNN guy, and just bust that out and

47
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 3: I just start cracking up. I don't think anyone else

48
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: in the theater laugh. But I found it hysterically funny.

49
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 3: And if you go on YouTube you can see all

50
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 3: the funny lines from Whiplash. That movie's excellent.

51
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: JK.

52
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 3: Simons, that's the actor. It was on the tip of

53
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: my tongue. But you know, now you don't have to

54
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 3: memorize anything because it's on the Internet. I did just

55
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: pull that out of my brain. I had to dig

56
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 3: a little deeper than normal anyway, So I will be

57
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 3: shutting it down. I'm probably gonna try to power down

58
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: no social media or even to even Instagram. I know

59
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 3: usually if I'm on vacation, I'll do the gram over Twitter.

60
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 3: I'm gonna try my best to just stay off it.

61
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: And I don't know read books.

62
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: Do people still do that anymore? Maybe I'll catch up on.

63
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,559
Speaker 3: A billions and there's another's Oh the Magic Johnson Lakers documentary,

64
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 3: not documentary, but the show on HBO Winning Time Season

65
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 3: two started this past weekend. Interestingly, I'm not so keen

66
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 3: on the documentaries. And by the way, I've heard that

67
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: the swamp things of Florida Gators is really weak. They

68
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 3: don't answer all the good questions that you want answered.

69
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 3: And the Johnny Manuel one's like good but not great

70
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 3: because you know, obviously to get permission, like people are

71
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: gonna make concessions. Hey, hey, we want to do this,

72
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: can we do it? And they're like yeah, but we're

73
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: not gonna talk about the pouncy twins kicking everyone's ass

74
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 3: around the campus in Gainesville.

75
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: And we're not gonna talk about Aeron Hernandez.

76
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: It's like, what, I'm not watching that, but I will

77
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 3: watch Winning Time, which is super fun. Anyway, before we

78
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 3: get to Matthew Berry, quick story, big scoop from someone

79
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: who's been on this podcast before. You guys remember Tanya Gangouli.

80
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 3: She was at the La Times. Now she's doing I

81
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 3: think freelance, excuse me, freelance for the New York Times.

82
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: She sat down with Yannis, who is up for an

83
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 3: extension in September, and Yanna said, I'm not doing that.

84
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: I'm not signing it, which puts Milwaukee in kind of

85
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 3: a tough spot. The money quote, the real questions not

86
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: gonna be this year. Numbers wise, it doesn't make sense.

87
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 3: But next year, next summer, it would make more sense

88
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 3: for both parties. But even then, I don't know if

89
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna sign, I would not be the best version

90
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 3: of myself if I don't know that everybody's on the

91
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: same page. Everybody's going for a championship, Everyone's gonna sacrifice

92
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 3: time away from their family like I do. And if

93
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: I don't feel that, I'm not signing now, I will

94
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: add regardless of what happens for the Bucks this season,

95
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 3: they're unlikely to lose in the first round again. But

96
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: who the hell really knows? Everyone other than Yannis on

97
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 3: their roster is over the age of thirty. Everyone of

98
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 3: consequence really well, I'm sorry. Bobby Portas is twenty eight.

99
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 3: They like him, he's like their fourth best player. I

100
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 3: don't pticularly love his game. I know he's on Team

101
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 3: USA right now, but you know Portus is like their

102
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: fourth best player. Middleton's thirty two, but aging quickly because

103
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: of injuries. Brook Lopez is thirty five. They're gonna you know,

104
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: Drew Holliday's thirty three is still very good, still a

105
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: top notch point guard. But it was thirty three and

106
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 3: in two years were these Where's Middleton and Holiday going

107
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 3: to be Jay Crowder's thirty three, Goran Dradjic, who I

108
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 3: guess they're still clinging to hope that maybe he can

109
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 3: give him something. He's thirty seven. Conaton, who I like,

110
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 3: is thirty. Malik Beasley, they took a flyer on. He

111
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 3: was okay with the Lakers and Spurts. He's twenty six,

112
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: and Grayson Allen's twenty seven, but essentially the core group

113
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: of their top eight are all over thirty. Giannis is

114
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 3: only twenty eight. He's obviously be super attractive. As we

115
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 3: phase out of Durant, Curry and Lebron into the next batch.

116
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 3: Who's gotten next? It felt like John Moranton Zion, But

117
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if either of those guys do. I

118
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 3: maybe Anthony Edwards probably has a better shot of getting

119
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 3: next than them. It's gonna be interesting. I don't. My

120
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 3: gut tells me Jannis is not long for Milwaukee. I

121
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: don't see how it's gonna be easy to tweak this

122
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 3: roster and make it attractive for him to stay. It's

123
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 3: not like they go out and get Austin Reeves.

124
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: You No, I'm just kidding.

125
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 3: Although I do love Austin reeves at any rate. Interesting stuff,

126
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: but it is late August, so we focus on football.

127
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 3: So let's welcome in without further ado. Matthew Berry of

128
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 3: NBC Sports.

129
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: You know a guy, Jason likes to think he knows

130
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: everything when it comes to sports.

131
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: I know what sports fans want, but for everything he doesn't.

132
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: He knows a guy who does.

133
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 4: Let's just say I know a guy who knows a

134
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 4: guy who knows another guy.

135
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 3: All right, let's welcome into straight fire. A guy everybody knows.

136
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 3: He's dominant in the fantasy football space. He used to

137
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 3: do baseball, dropped it to do fantasy football full time.

138
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 2: It's worked out great for him.

139
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: He left his old shop, went to NBC. He's a

140
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: juggernaut on the fantasy football scene.

141
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: He will win you your league. Matthew Berry, what is up,

142
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: my guy, Jason?

143
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 4: Now, ay, my friend, I'm good.

144
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 3: I haven't had a draft yet, which is which is

145
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 3: great because preseason week three, Aaron Rodgers and Company's starting.

146
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: What do you say to the guys who have already

147
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 3: had their draft other than damn, you're a sucker in

148
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: a fool and you hope you didn't put money in

149
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 3: that league.

150
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's just about you know, your season

151
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: started earlier, right. There's advantages of disadvantages as starting earlier.

152
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: And I'm a big proponent of waiting until especially like

153
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: in a season long league, you want to wait until

154
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: the very last minute. But the positives are is that

155
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, when you draft early and less information

156
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: is out there, there's there's arbitrage that you can do

157
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: where you're just sort of like, oh, I know this

158
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: guy's gonna be good, and you know, I'm trying to

159
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: think of an example, but Joe Mixons an example for

160
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: people that were drafting a month ago, especially like in

161
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: Best Ball, like everyone's just like, oh, you know, Joe.

162
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 4: Mixon, they're gonna sign a veteran.

163
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: They might release some and you know there are other

164
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: people say like, no, I think he's gonna stay there.

165
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: And now you know, you sort of got like a

166
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth round running back that's gonna that's gonna

167
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: get massive volume on one of the best offenses in football.

168
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 4: So sometimes you can get bargains by going earlier.

169
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: But yes, for those that have already drafted, you're all

170
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: gonna start paying attention, right, I mean, Terry McLaurin is

171
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: in danger of missing of missing the first game Jackson

172
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba, like he's gonna miss almost a month, right,

173
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy left today with a hamstring injury, Like who knows,

174
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: Like you know.

175
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 4: All of a sudden, players are starting to get hurt.

176
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 4: That is the NFL.

177
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 2: All right, Matthew, you're drafting on Monday night.

178
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 3: Right, Let's say let's just say you're drafted in a

179
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: few days and you have the third pick, and you're like, oh,

180
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor, I could get him third overall and Jonathan

181
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 3: Taylor may not.

182
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: Even suit up for the Colts. I don't know what

183
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 2: to make of this. Now.

184
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 3: We did see Saquon Barkley kind of backtrack, Oh yeah,

185
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 3: I'll get a couple more bucks up front.

186
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: He's there.

187
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs seemed to be holding out the Colt situation.

188
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 3: URSA really took that to the moon with some of

189
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 3: those Asenon comments. Would you advocate as of now drafting

190
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 3: Jonathan the first round?

191
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 4: No, I would not. I would not. I definitely wouldn't

192
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 4: pick him third overall.

193
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: Look, a couple of things to understand about Jonathan Taylor

194
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: was first off, like, we don't know if the guy

195
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: can play football. I mean, he we haven't seen him

196
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: on a football field this year.

197
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 4: He's hurt. Now, the question is how hurt is it.

198
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: We don't know, you know, how much of it is

199
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: gamesmanshipped like he's clearly annoyed at management. And by the way,

200
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: I am team Jonathan Taylor to be clear here, but

201
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 1: he you know there it's definitely a disconnect between him

202
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: and Colt's management.

203
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 4: And so we just haven't seen him.

204
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: This is a guy who missed time last year, who,

205
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: by the way, was you know, wasn't the Jonathan Taylor

206
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: we've seen before. He was clearly less than one hundred

207
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: percent last year Jonathan Taylor running back seventeen on a

208
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: points per game basis. So now you're like, okay, this

209
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: is somebody who is hurt again. Already hurt, he was

210
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: somewhat ineffective. We don't know how good or bad this

211
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: offense is going to be. They've got a quarterback in

212
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson who potentially can steal touches around the goal

213
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: line from Taylor the way that Gileen Hurts did last

214
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: year with some of the Eagles running backs, or that

215
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen sometimes does with with the Bills. Running backs.

216
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: Last year there was no threat of Matt Ryan or

217
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: Sam Ellinger stealing goal line touches. But there's a real

218
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: legit one with Anthony Richardson. And then you get to

219
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: the idea of, hey, well what happens if what happens

220
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: if he holds out? What happens if he just says, like,

221
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: you know what, guys, I'm I'm just not my hammy

222
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: feels a little it's a little tender, but ankle's little tweaked,

223
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: you know whatever, Like he's accruing time. But I don't know,

224
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: like I just bad vibes from the whole situation. Now,

225
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: the interesting thing, Jason is that he the colt said

226
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: we've given him permission to seek a Trey and like that,

227
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: but we want a first round pick for him. It's

228
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: sort of funny, you know, Jim rsay like, we don't

229
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: think we're running backs are worth anything.

230
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 4: We're not gonna pay Jonathan Taylor.

231
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: And then also Jim R say, yeah, we want a

232
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: first round pick for him because he so valuable, and

233
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: you're just kind of like, all right, well pick a lane, Jim.

234
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 4: But well, what's interesting.

235
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: Is, as I sort of said, like, ah, I think

236
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: it's unlikely that somebody's gonna trade for him. But then

237
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: you know, Schefter comes out of reports that you know,

238
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: Miami's kicking the tires. There's interest apparently from the from

239
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: the Bears and the Rams. I've heard the Vikings mentioned.

240
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: So uh so we'll see Mabe. I think depends on

241
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: how much the cults are going to hold hold other

242
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: teams to the fire. But you know, I think there's

243
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: a chance he could get moved. And Jonathan Taylor on Miami,

244
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: it's really interesting.

245
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, hell yeah, listen.

246
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: I know the tour situation is difficult given the the

247
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 3: you know, concussions, but what what I don't know, Matthew.

248
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 3: One thing I did last year that helped a lot

249
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 3: was I looked at the opposing defenses the teams will face.

250
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 3: And if you're as good as as much as I

251
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 3: like Tyreek Hill, as much as I like Waddle, as

252
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 3: much as I like Tua, you look at the defenses

253
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: are facing, and you know, it's arguably the toughest in

254
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 3: the league. It's definitely top four, Buffalo might have number one.

255
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 3: But it's just I don't know what to do with Tua,

256
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 3: Like I can't make it my starter. But do you

257
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: draft him like late round just to be the backup?

258
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 3: Maybe you don't even like holding two quarterbacks.

259
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it depends on your size of your league, right,

260
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: and you know you're from a ten or twelve team

261
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: one quarterback league.

262
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 4: I usually and I get a good guy that I'm

263
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 4: usually not drafted. Like if you have a Josh Allen,

264
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 4: if you.

265
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: Have a you know, Lamar Jackson or Herbert somebody that

266
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: you know Mahomes Hurts, et cetera. Somebody that you know

267
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: you're never going to bench unless it's a bye week

268
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: or they're hurt.

269
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 4: I don't really bother. I'll pick somebody up.

270
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: What I uh, What I will say though, is so

271
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: I don't really do that. I am to a at

272
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: quarterback ten the thing on to it and I get it.

273
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: The schedule is absolutely tough and health is a question

274
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: as well. But Tua has top five upside. Yeah, I

275
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: mean it's a it's a fantasy friendly offense. He was,

276
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: He was very good last year as a fantasy quarterback

277
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: and now second year McDaniel's system, Hill and Waddle like

278
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, as good a wide receiver duo as there

279
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: is in the NFL. An aggressive play caller Mike McDaniel.

280
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: Lots of speed on that team, not only the wide

281
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: receivers obviously, but moster Wilson Devon a changing the rookie

282
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: from Texas, and I'm all of them really be really fast,

283
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: and so I just think that's you know, I think

284
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: that Tua is one of those guys.

285
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 4: My love hate list came out this.

286
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: Week and I came out earlier today on on NBC

287
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: Sports dot Com and wrote, and I I have two

288
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: on my level list because he only thin the.

289
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 4: Range of outcomes. Like again, it could all he was

290
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 4: great last year.

291
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, he needed to stay healthy, but on a

292
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: points per game basis, Tua was terrific last year and

293
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: that's within the range of outcomes. That's my point is that,

294
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: especially in a one quarterback league, which is what the

295
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: default is. So that's what we're we're doing love hateoff of,

296
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: Like if you work out, great, If he doesn't, the

297
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: replacement cost is that much because in a one quarterback league,

298
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: there's always a solid quarterback on the waiver wires.

299
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 4: So you know, again, think about Matt Ryan's you know

300
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 4: this it's a little easy, but uh, low hanging fruit.

301
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 4: But you know, Matt Ryan's.

302
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: Best year he ever had, right, was that the Super

303
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: Bowl year, the Atlanta year, the second year he was

304
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: in Kyle Shanahan's system. He just talked about the fact that,

305
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: like it's such a complex system that you really need

306
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: two years in the system to understand everything. Well, Mike

307
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: McDaniel system is Kyle Shanahan's. You know, it's obviously there's

308
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: some tweaks, but he's a Kyle Shanahan disciple, and so

309
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think second year in that system,

310
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: you know.

311
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, really there's a there's there's.

312
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: A scenario where it all turns terribly, but there's also

313
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: a scenario which I think is more likely than not,

314
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: that he has a great year.

315
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm shying away. They open with the Chargers, who

316
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 2: really bottled him up last year.

317
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 3: The defense was totally ready, Staley was all over, and

318
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 3: I I think then they go Patriots and Belichick's got

319
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 3: a really good defense, and I think early they played

320
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 3: Jets too, and we know that defense is really nasty.

321
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 3: So I don't know, love toua. Let me go to

322
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 3: receivers here. It feels like there's an embarrassment of riches

323
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 3: around the league. I think you have Justin Jefferson one overall, right, correct?

324
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not Jamar Chase.

325
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 4: Listen, Uh, you can make the argument for Jamar Chase.

326
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 4: I just think it's the uh. I think it's the

327
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 4: consistency on on Justin Jefferson.

328
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase. Again, you're asked me to talk down my

329
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: number two wide receiver. I have number two. And by

330
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: the way, Jamar Chase, proud fantasylife dot com investor, thank.

331
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 4: You very much.

332
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: So we you know it, certainly loved Jamar Chase's investing acumen.

333
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 4: But uh, for me, again, when you get to.

334
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: That level, when you get to the elite of the elite,

335
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: you have to nitpick a little bit. And for me,

336
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: it's a it's a matter of Justin Jefferson's competing with

337
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: kJ Osborne, rookie Jordan Addison, and TJ. Howkinson for targets

338
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: as opposed to T Higgins, Tyler Boyd, Joe Mixon. You know,

339
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: it's just that's that's to me is like, again, you

340
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: have to nitpick Chase's number two. And if I was

341
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: in a draft and Chase when I had of Jefferson,

342
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: I'm not like going like, what what's that guy doing? Yeah,

343
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase is awesome. Jamar Chase is awesome. He's gonna

344
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: have an awesome year. But Jefferson has been elap for

345
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: a little bit, a little while longer and has less

346
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: target competition. I just think he's slightly stapered.

347
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 3: So then one of my knocks on Jefferson is no

348
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: Dalvin Cook this year. I don't think defenses will respect

349
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 3: Madison as much, and I'm assuming the load up on Jefferson.

350
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 3: I guess the counter is Minnesota's defense is so bad

351
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 3: he is gonna hammrhage so many points. Kirk Cousins is

352
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: gonna be chucking and ducket and Jefferson will put up

353
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 3: massive numbers.

354
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 4: All right, Oh, go ahead, go ahead, I know you

355
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 4: got you, go ahead. We don't need to talk about

356
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 4: justin Jefferson being good. Everyone knows.

357
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 3: I don't usually do auction leagues, but I got sucked

358
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 3: into one a couple of years ago, and now it

359
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 3: it's like, I think my number two big money league,

360
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 3: and I haven't done great in it just because I'm

361
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 3: not like an auction guy. I don't totally get it.

362
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: Give me.

363
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 3: I have googled auction strategies and I understand, Hey, float

364
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 3: the big guys early.

365
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 2: You got to get something.

366
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 3: Usually if you buy early, you're betting it a bit

367
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 3: of a value because then everybody's scrambling later. I don't

368
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: know any tried and true methods of auction strategies that

369
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 3: you've got.

370
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: Sure, I have a bunch so and I love I

371
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: love that format. It's it's really fun. First thing I

372
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: do is, so, what's your in this league?

373
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 4: What's your budget?

374
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 3: Don't actually don't, off the top of my head, drafts

375
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 3: out till next week. So I'm mean guessing it's like

376
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 3: a two hundred bucks, maybe a hundred.

377
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: Call it fine, call it, yeah, two sixty. You are

378
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: usually the three most typical amount, so let's call it

379
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: two hundred. So, in essence, what I like to do

380
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: this is the dumbest thing in the world. But it's

381
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: so simple and it really helps you more than any

382
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: other draft software you can bring in. I just really

383
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: simply old school of paper. I mark out all the

384
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: positions right, you know again, call it quarterback, two running backs,

385
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: two wide receivers, a tight end, a flex, five bench,

386
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: whatever you have, Okay, And then what I do is

387
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: I sort of generally I think about it, and I

388
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: think about what I want to budget, and I've looked

389
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: at everything, and I decided, like, you know what I'm

390
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: spending up on, I'm spending up on tight end this year.

391
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 4: I want.

392
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: I want Kelsey or one of the elite guys. So

393
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put thirty five dollars.

394
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 4: I'm making up numbers here.

395
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put thirty five or forty dollars for my

396
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: tight end spot. And then i'm gonna put I want

397
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: at least one really great running back, so I'm gonna

398
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: put fifty bucks at my running back spot. I'll go

399
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: cheap for the second running back at twenty bucks. I'm

400
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: gonna have to go cheap on quarterbacks. I'll say, you know,

401
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars at quarterback, and I just mark it down.

402
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: And I always try to go like one or two

403
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: bucks for the bench right, and so I just write

404
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 1: those numbers. I literally just write, you know whatever, forty

405
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: by tight end or whatever it is. And then what

406
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: happens is is that as I go through the auction draft,

407
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: what I will do is to mark it up. So

408
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: let's say you want Kelsey. Here's my other big piece

409
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: of advice. You're like throw out the big guns early.

410
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: But to me, what happens a lot is I see

411
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: people say like, oh, I'm not gonna throw out Kelsey

412
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: because I want Kelsey.

413
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 4: I'm gonna throw it like Jon.

414
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: Because you know, because everyone's all hot for Bijon, so

415
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: I'll let there be a bidding war. And I don't

416
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: like to do that because if what you've done is

417
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: you've said, like, hey, I want Travis kelce I want

418
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: to lead tight end, then what I wanted the first

419
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: time I get a chance to throw out a player,

420
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: I'm throwing out Travis Kelcey because one of two things happens.

421
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 4: Either you get Travis Kelcey great or you.

422
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: Don't, and you can adjust from there, because what you

423
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: don't want to have happen is that Kelsey had that

424
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, Kelsey Ford a reason doesn't come up for

425
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: like three rounds and you're sitting there, you're holding your

426
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: forty or fifty bucks to get Kelsey, and then he

427
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: ends up going for like sixty five, and you're like, crap, now,

428
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: I just now and then now there's no other players

429
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: to spend a lot of money on, and you've just

430
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: sort of screwed yourself. So like if I'm making up

431
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: numbers here on uh, but say if you budgeted forty

432
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 1: dollars for a tight end and you throw out Kelsey

433
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: and somehow maybe you get them at thirty five. Great,

434
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: now you've got five extra dollars to play with. And

435
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: I might say, okay, you know what instead of fifteen

436
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: dollars for running back to, now I've got twenty and

437
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: I just scratch it out or whatever.

438
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 4: Again, I'm making it all.

439
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: Up as we're talking, because I just haven't done this

440
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: yet for an auction drop this year, and I don't

441
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: know what your actual salary cap is, but the idea

442
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,239
Speaker 1: there is or whatever. You get into a bidding war

443
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: a little bit and you wind up with thirty eight

444
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: dollars for Kelsey. Okay, fine, so now I've got to

445
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: subtract three dollars from someone else. And it just what

446
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: it does is it gives you a really quick, easy

447
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: visual for you to budget your money throughout a draft

448
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: which goes fast and furious, and it does it by position.

449
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: There are a lot of great draft softwares out of

450
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 1: there that'll do it sort of for you, but it's

451
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: more about total budget and price per player, and this

452
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: way you budget out, you're going to want to spend

453
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: more money on one position versus the other.

454
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 4: And you can sort of adjust and it allow you

455
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 4: to see, like.

456
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: You know, and then, by the way, in that same scenario,

457
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: let's say you budgeted thirty five to forty dollars or

458
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: Kelsey and you throw him out early and he goes

459
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: for fifty five and you're like, all right, I'm out.

460
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: That's just way too much and I want to pay that. Okay, great, Well,

461
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: now you know now you can adjust. Now you've got

462
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: forty bucks to play with, and you can say like,

463
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: all right, you know what.

464
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 4: I'll go to thirty for Mark Andrews Or'll go to

465
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 4: twenty for TJ. Hockinson.

466
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: Right, you know, now you've got more money to play with,

467
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: and that allows you to say, hey, I didn't get Kelsey,

468
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: so I need to be more aggressive on one of

469
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: these top tier wide receivers or you know.

470
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go after Bijon or whatever it is. And

471
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 4: so that's one one.

472
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: So the three big piece of advice is that just

473
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: having a sheet like that to really it helps you

474
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: visualize both during the draft in before where you kind

475
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: of want to spend your money.

476
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 4: It's the same is always. And the last two things

477
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 4: they'll say very quickly is the other last thing is.

478
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: You know, throwing out players you want as opposed to

479
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 1: like trying to hold you know, hoard players and holding

480
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: it out. And to your point, so you hit on

481
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: this when you introduced the topic. Sometimes people are like,

482
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to wait and save all my money because

483
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: then I'll be able to scoop up all the guys

484
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: at the end and bargains.

485
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 4: And what I would say is that bargains come.

486
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: Out at various times throughout the uh, throughout the process.

487
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: And so whether you use whether you know, you buy

488
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: a subscription rotopass.

489
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 4: Dot com, which is my site, I'll get a plug

490
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 4: in there.

491
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you and we have we have auction software

492
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,479
Speaker 1: that you can put in your league settings and then

493
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: you can say, okay, here's my scoring system. I have

494
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: twelve teams and it'll fit out auction values for you.

495
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 4: So, whether it's.

496
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: Something like that or you know what other whatever ranking

497
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: system you use, whatever numbers you have, there will be values,

498
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: some of coming early in the draft, some of the

499
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: come late in the draft in the middle, and you

500
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: just want to pounce on those as opposed to parting

501
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: all your money and waiting till the end or spending

502
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: it all at the beginning. Because values come out. Every

503
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: auction is different.

504
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 4: It's a super weird dynamic thing, and so you just

505
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 4: have to be super you know, super uh attentive to win.

506
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: Values come out and pounce when they come and you

507
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: can't really be like I'm only getting this guy or

508
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: only getting that guy.

509
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 4: You have to let the let the draft come to you.

510
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 3: How are we supposed to gauge bijon Kyle Pitts and

511
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 3: Drake London. Since I haven't seen Jack squat from Desmond Iru,

512
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's good or awful like I,

513
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 3: So it's kind of like I like Pitts. I think

514
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 3: he bounces back. It's like a bi lo opportunity. But

515
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 3: I don't know where are you on the Falcons offense?

516
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I love Bejon Robinson. And that's about it.

517
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: Like it's so weird because no, because because you're right,

518
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,719
Speaker 1: that's the issue. Is that so much unknown? Maybe Desmond

519
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: Rutter takes a step in year two. Maybe he's just.

520
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 4: Not that good.

521
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: Maybe the reason Arthur Smith just runs so much. Remember

522
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: the last year uh The uh No team had more

523
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: running back rushing yards than the Atlanta Falcons and they

524
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: had the second most running back carries. And so maybe

525
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: the reason Arthur Smith ran the ball so much is

526
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: he's just like, none of these guys can throw. That's

527
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: my only chance at winning. Or maybe that's just his

528
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: offensive philosophy. Remember he came from Tennessee where for two

529
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: years he was the offensive coordinator and all he did

530
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: was run Derrick Henry. And again you don't sort of know, like,

531
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: is that because he's just a very run heavy coach,

532
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: or is it just like again he's looking at his

533
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: team and being like, I can either throw it with

534
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: a so so quarterback or I can have this you know,

535
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: you know this this human, you know this guy and

536
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 1: Derek giant Derrick Henry who's just not like any other

537
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: human on the planet, and give it to him. And

538
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: so we just don't know. But the expectation here is

539
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: that it's going to be a run heavy offense.

540
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 4: And I just.

541
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: The one thing that I'll say that I think is

542
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: somewhat positive is that they do have Taylor Heineke there

543
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: and not the Taylor Heinekey is great, but well he's

544
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: the backup, and so if Ritter does struggle, they I mean,

545
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: they paid him twenty million over two years.

546
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: J That's a good point.

547
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what I mean, like they they

548
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: paid him like pretty good money for a backup. And

549
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: so I think that Rider probably has a short leash

550
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: and that if Taylor Heineke gets the job again. He's

551
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: not great, he's raw, but he can get the ball

552
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: to people. I mean, Leon McLaurin had put you know,

553
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: I think he's he's got, you know, kind of a

554
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: Brett Farv screw it, I'll chuck it down the field

555
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: and somebody's down there somewhere kind of mentality. He's got

556
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: kind of that you know, uh, you know, you know,

557
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: slinging uh, slinging tech, uh, whatever you want to call it. Yeah,

558
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: kind of that you know mentality, Yeah, that you know,

559
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,479
Speaker 1: screw it, I'm throwing it all over the place kind

560
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: of mentality.

561
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 4: So there is that.

562
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: But I will say that in terms of where Drake

563
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: London's going, he's not somebody I'm targeting.

564
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 4: There's other guys in better situations. I think he could

565
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 4: be great.

566
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: It's a wide range, but that's what I've sort of

567
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: been I basically Bjon and that's it for me in Atlanta.

568
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 2: Interesting, Well, I know you're a Washington guy.

569
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 3: Are there any offensive skill players with give him, forget

570
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 3: McLaurin given the injury, any players at all you're looking

571
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 3: at with Washington or no, Actually a lot.

572
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: Of them, and everyone's gonna call me a homer, right,

573
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: I think the I think the Commanders are going to

574
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: be a better offense than people think. So first off,

575
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: how I think I think Sam Howe. I think Sam

576
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: Howe is the real deal. I'm gonna blow your mind

577
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: with a stat but okay, all right, Sam Sam Howell

578
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: had more rushing yards.

579
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 4: His senior year in college than Anthony Richardson. Hmm, like

580
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 4: Sam Howe. Sam Howell is really mobile, Like I mean again,

581
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 4: he's not.

582
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, but he's

583
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: gonna get you thirty forty yards a game with his legs.

584
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: They're gonna be aggressive under Eric v Enemy throwing the

585
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: ball down the field. Johan Doatson over the final five

586
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: weeks of last year, was the seventh seventeenth best wide

587
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: receiver in Fantasy. He scored four touchdowns in his first

588
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: four weeks, as well. He missed some time in the

589
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: middle of the year with injury. But this is a

590
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: guy with a first round draft pick pedigree. It's a

591
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: top sixteen overall pick in the NFL. And you go

592
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: back to what he did in Penn State. He was

593
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: a scoring machine in Penn State. Like that's a skill

594
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,239
Speaker 1: finding the end zone. And so you have you have

595
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: mclaurd and Johan Dotson along with Sam Howell, and I

596
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: think the running backs this is kind of the easy,

597
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: low hanging fruit comparison, but I think it's accurate, which

598
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: is think about how Eric Vannemy used Isaiah Pacheck Jack

599
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 1: McKinnon last year in Kansas City, and.

600
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 4: I think that's to see with Brian Robinson in.

601
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 1: The Pachecko role and Antonio Gibson and the Jack McKinnon role,

602
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: they're gonna get creative. Like I was encouraged by the

603
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: first the last preseason game, the Monday Night game, where

604
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: Brian Robinson got a couple of passes, Like, he caught

605
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: a couple of passes. And Antonio Gibson is somebody that

606
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: they've used between the tackles. He's somebody that can be

607
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: a running back, you know, between the tackles in addition

608
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: to being a very good pass catcher.

609
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 4: No j D.

610
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: McKissick there, so I think, especially if you go zero RB,

611
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: I really like Robinson and Gibson and kind of middle

612
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: rounds and I think Dodson is on to rate it

613
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: as well. Dropt McLaurin and two quarterback leads. Give me

614
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: some Sam Howell.

615
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 3: Oh geez, I haven't heard of anybody talk about Washington

616
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: that glowingly, which is interesting because everybody thinks they're the

617
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 3: last place team in that division.

618
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 4: I don't know.

619
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe you just sold me on Sam Howell

620
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 3: and the enemy shot in the world for nine or

621
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 3: nine or ten wins.

622
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 2: I don't know.

623
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: Let me go to by the way, they might still

624
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: be they might still be the worst team in that division,

625
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: but they still might be a good, good fantasy team.

626
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: There's a like, that's a very good division, that's one.

627
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 4: Of the best.

628
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: That's that's probably the second best division in football, top

629
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: bottom after the AFC East.

630
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 4: What about the AFC, I mean the AFC West.

631
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: AFC Yeah, you're right, yeah, because Cleveland, Yeah, AFC North,

632
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: top four division, AFC West.

633
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, depending on what you get out of it,

634
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 4: depending on what you get out of the Raiders in

635
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 4: Denver could be.

636
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, like, you know, Cowboys, Eagles, Giants

637
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: all made the playoffs last year.

638
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Washington is going to be better this year.

639
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 4: Washington's going to be better this year.

640
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 3: Let's uh, let's go to the You mentioned Cleveland Deshaun Watson.

641
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 3: Some of the gamblers like the Browns this year. You know,

642
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 3: Watson a year and a half in activity that didn't

643
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 3: look great. Now he's at a regular offseason, He's going

644
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: to go back to being a top ten QB.

645
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 4: Right, I don't know I have I'll be honest with you.

646
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 4: I have him at nine. Yeah, here's the case here.

647
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 4: So but I don't feel great about that rating. I'll

648
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 4: be honest. Ranking, I'll be honest with you, it's a

649
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 4: little bit of a hedge.

650
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: And so what I'll what I'll tell you is is

651
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: that here's the case for Deshaun Watson.

652
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 4: We've seen him before.

653
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: This is a guy who has been a top five

654
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback multiple years in his career.

655
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 4: Obviously, all the years he was in Houston, he was awesome.

656
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: And last year when he literally looked like the worst

657
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL, Like those final five games he

658
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: was brutal for Cleveland, when he looked absolutely horrific, he

659
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: still was able to be okay. Like those final five games,

660
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: he was quarterback sixteen on a points per game basis

661
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: because he gets you points with his legs. So the

662
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,239
Speaker 1: case for Deshaun Watson is that he could actually be

663
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: a bad NFL quarterback and still be relatively useful for fantasy.

664
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,479
Speaker 1: They have some nice skill position players, obviously in Amari

665
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: Cooper and David and Joku. Nick Chubbs the best running

666
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: back in football. I like Cedric Tillman as a rookie.

667
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: Donovan Peoples Jones has had some moments. We'll see hope

668
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: Spring's eternal with Elijah mor Can they revive him. So

669
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: there's some there's some pieces there in Cleveland. Those are

670
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: all the that's all the positives. The negative on Deshaun Watson.

671
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: Negative on Deshaun Watson is he looked last year and it's.

672
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 4: Been like three years. It's been three years, which is

673
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 4: a lifetime in the NFL.

674
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: It's been three years since we've seen this guy be

675
00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: a great NFL slash fantasy quarterback. And when he did,

676
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: when he was that that that kind of level. Sometimes

677
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: it was on you know, it was indoors in Houston.

678
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes it was on bad Texans teams, uh that you

679
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: know where they were they especially it was on teams.

680
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: It certainly was on teams that had bad defenses. Whether

681
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: the Texans themselves were a good team or not, because

682
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: they did make the playoffs sometimes with Watson, but uh,

683
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: the defenses were always bad.

684
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 4: They constantly got into these shootouts. I keep remembering.

685
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: Watson like chucking it to you know, DeAndre Hopkins and

686
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: Will Fuller all the time. You know, they kept getting

687
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: into the shootouts because their defense couldn't stop anyone.

688
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 4: So that's not gonna be the case.

689
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: Cleveland's gonna have a good defense, and it's gonna be

690
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,959
Speaker 1: a cold Weather team, you know, cold Weather City. It's

691
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: gonna be really windy in that stadium. And so he

692
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: gets letter in the season. So there's Deshaun Watson. There's

693
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: a handful of guys I did. I did Bill Simmons

694
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: podcast the other day, and on Simmons podcast, we did

695
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: a thing where we just talked about the ten guys

696
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: that could make or break your season, and we talked

697
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: through players that just basically the there's a wide range

698
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: of outcomes. Deshaun Watson could be awesome this year or horrific, right,

699
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: And there's just a number of guys.

700
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 4: Like that that just.

701
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 2: That feels harsh.

702
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 4: In the last three years.

703
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: He was Jason, he was horrific last year, in the

704
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: last five games he was, he was awful. And the

705
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: report and the reports out of Browns camp this year

706
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: so far as that, it's you know, it hasn't always

707
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: been smooth sailing and training camp this year.

708
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 4: From his playing, you know, from a point of view

709
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 4: where he's playing.

710
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: So I I'm just saying Watson's one of those guys that,

711
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: like most players, have a reasonably narrow range of outcomes

712
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: barring injury. I don't know that Justin Jefferson finishes the

713
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver in Fantasy, but I feel very

714
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: confident that barring injury, Justin Jefferson's wide his range of

715
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: outcomes his wide receiver one through five.

716
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 4: Yes, he's somewhere in that range. Right.

717
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying, is is like and you

718
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: know what, like Derek Carr's range of outcomes is somewhere

719
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: from QB seventeen to like QB twelve.

720
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 4: Huh you know what I mean, Like it's a it's

721
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 4: a fairly narrow run.

722
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: Like there's no scenario in which Derek Carr is like

723
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: a top five fantasy quarterback.

724
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 2: Are you sure right?

725
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 4: I mean, he doesn't.

726
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: Run run, and you know, like, do we really think, okay,

727
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: totally light up and have thirty five touchdown pass?

728
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 2: Well, again, you look at that schedule, Matthew. They're playing a.

729
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 3: Bunch of great dog shit team, right, So if they're

730
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 3: putting up like thirty a game, thirty points, I mean,

731
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 3: sure Camara will get some runs, but I mean I

732
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 3: could totally see car flinging at all. I mean I

733
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 3: think I think it's New Orleans. Their final like four

734
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 3: of their final five games are in domes in cold weather.

735
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 3: It just all lines up for car in the Saints, man.

736
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: I will say this, the Saints are one of my

737
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: favorite for leagues where you play team defense.

738
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 4: Love The Saints is a let roster and pick because

739
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 4: you were absolutely right. Their schedule is ridiculous.

740
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: I think the only uh, I think, the only really

741
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: good offense this is. I'm looking at it from a

742
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: Saints defense perspective, but the only the only offenses they

743
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: play that I think are above average that really scare you.

744
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: They play the Vikings, they play the Lions, and uh,

745
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: they play the Vikings, they play the Lions, and they

746
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: play the Giants. So those are like three above average offenses.

747
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 1: But the rest are like, you know, they play Carolina twice,

748
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,240
Speaker 1: they played Tampa Bay twice, they play the Falcons twice,

749
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: they play the Patriots like they play they play the

750
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: Texans like they play all these teams where you're just like.

751
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 4: Wow, it's a great schedule.

752
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: But the thing of it is is that while it's

753
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: a great schedule, and yeah, I don't know what the

754
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: Saints win total is, but take the over.

755
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 4: Yeah.

756
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: But uh, but what I would say is that I

757
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 1: don't know that necessarily means that Derek Carr is killing

758
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: it because again, their defense will score, like, like, you're

759
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: not gonna have to I don't think you're gonna have

760
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: to throw all over the field to beat the Buccaneers.

761
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: You're not gonna have to put up thirty one points

762
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: to beat the Bucks or the Panthers.

763
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 4: Or the Texas.

764
00:34:55,920 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll do some rapid fire. I you

765
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 3: got to wrap up, Matthew. You're super busy we'll do

766
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 3: rapid fire, yes, sir, So, Mike McCarthy takes over the

767
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 3: play calling. He makes it clear he wants to run

768
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 3: the football and win with defense. He boots Kellen Moore.

769
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 3: Does that depress all of the Cowboys across the board

770
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 3: just a little bit, with the exception of the Cowboys defense,

771
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 3: which is good.

772
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 1: I think it helps Tony Pollard. You know, Ezekiel Elliott

773
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: is now is no longer there. Look, he wants to

774
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: run the ball.

775
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 4: Last year, I think this is a crazy stat.

776
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: Last year, Tony Pollard had nine rushing touchdowns and he

777
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: only had twelve goal to go carries, only had twelve

778
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: carries inside the opponent's ten yard line. Ezekiel Elliot had

779
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: over twenty. So that you know, there's twenty odd goal

780
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: to go carries that are no longer there that are

781
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: going to go to his go to Tony Pollard. If

782
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: you look at what Tony Pollard has averaged in his career,

783
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: when he's gotten at least fifteen touches, and we certainly

784
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 1: expect him to get fifteen touches with no Zeke there,

785
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: he'd be the third best running back in fifantasy. Last year,

786
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: on a post game basis so Tony Pollard. Tony Pollard's

787
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: a guy that I thought about making my fantasy rider

788
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 1: die ultimately didn't do it, but like, I think he's

789
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: a top six fantasy running back this year followed, especially

790
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: if they want to like heat Ricodoubdell Malik Davis, like

791
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: the fact that they didn't bring back Zeke and they

792
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: haven't brought it in a veteran yet. Tony Power got

793
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: a ton of work this year. Ceedee Lamb will still

794
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: get his. But yeah, I mean, I'm out on DAK

795
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: this season. And you know I don't love the ancillary

796
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: UH players outside of se Lamb or Tony Pollard and

797
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys this year.

798
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 4: I'm not a Mike McCarthy fan.

799
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 2: I'm not either.

800
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 3: I didn't hear you mentioned Deuce Vaughan, who is getting

801
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 3: loose in the preseason. Man, he's nice, right, Oh, former

802
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 3: Ohio State receiver who you drafted first, Olave or Garrett Wilson.

803
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 4: Garrett Wilson. But it's close. I have won at ten

804
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 4: one of twelve.

805
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 2: Dalvin Cook or Breese Hall or both.

806
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 4: I do think both will be effected, but I have

807
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 4: Breese Hall ranked higher.

808
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 3: Player that you're lower on than the market, and then

809
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 3: followed by player that you're higher on than the market.

810
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 2: My market.

811
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, whatever you're seeing out there in

812
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 3: the floatsome of the Internet, and you probably don't look

813
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,760
Speaker 3: at other lists, but they could evolve your website interviews

814
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 3: you're doing. Yeah.

815
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'll start with player I'm higher on than consensus,

816
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 1: and that's my fantasy rid Die, I'm on Ross Saint Brown.

817
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you know.

818
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: So, like I think this status crazy. Week thirteen of

819
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one season. That is the week that

820
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: I'm on Ross Saint Brian his rookie year.

821
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 4: He kind of broke.

822
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: Out from that point forward Week thirteen of the twenty

823
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: twenty one season. Again, we're in twenty twenty three, Week

824
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: thirteen of the twenty twenty one season. Here's the entire list, Jason,

825
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: of players in the NFL with more receptions since Week

826
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: thirteen of the twenty twenty one season of Amon, Ross,

827
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: Saint Brown, Justin Jefferson.

828
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 4: That's the list.

829
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: Oh wow, the only players with more Fantasy points since

830
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 1: week thirteen of twenty twenty one. Then I'm a Ross

831
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: Saint Brown, Justin Jefferson and DeVante Adams and he just

832
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: doesn't get talked about. He's an elite fantasy wide receiver

833
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: who does not get talked about in the same breadth

834
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: as the Ceed Lambs and the Stefan Diggs is of

835
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: the world of the DeVante Adams. He doesn't get talked

836
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 1: about like that, and he should be. So that's somebody

837
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: that I'm higher on. I have him higher than lamb

838
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: our high. I have him higher than Adams. Seven of

839
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: the final eight games that the Lions play are in

840
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: a dome and or.

841
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 4: A retractable roof. They play one game at Dallas. It's

842
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:35,959
Speaker 4: December thirtieth, they'll close the roof.

843
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: So in essence, basically, we know how good Jared Goff

844
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: is when he plays in a dome.

845
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 4: In a dome, he.

846
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: Should He gets almost a thirty percent target share. Yeah,

847
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm on Ross Saint Brown is gonna just have a monster,

848
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: monster season. So that's one guy that I'm higher on

849
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: than consensus. We think about somebody that I'm lower on than,

850
00:38:55,400 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: uh than consensus? Eh, I mean, uh, I'll say this,

851
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 1: how about Javonte Williams oh Broncos.

852
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, five of the last six seasons.

853
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: That Sean Payton coached the coach the Denver Broncos, he

854
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: had multiple running backs touched the ball at least one

855
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty times.

856
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 2: Well, you mean Saints with Ingram and Kamara, right, right,

857
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 2: That's what I said. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, but

858
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 2: I got sorry.

859
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,919
Speaker 1: Five of the last six the five of the last

860
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: six season that Sean Payton was with a Saints, he

861
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: had multiple running backs for him touched the ball at

862
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: least one hundred and fifty times. Interesting, Ingram and Kamara

863
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: being yeah, a perfect example, right, And if you listen

864
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: to any of the interviews that Sama J. P Ryan

865
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,919
Speaker 1: gave when he signed with the Broncos, he talked about

866
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: the fact that he had He had a lot of

867
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: conversations because there are a lot of people the Bengals

868
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: wanted to bring p Ryan back, a lot.

869
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 4: Of people like some Maj J.

870
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 1: P Ryan, and he went with the Broncos because and

871
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: he talked about this, he said, uh, I talked with

872
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: coach Peyton, and Sean Payton told me and talk to

873
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: me about how he likes to use multiple running backs

874
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: and talk to me about what he did in Denver,

875
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: and like you know, told me that there's gonna be

876
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: a big role for me here in Denver. And so

877
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: you've got Javonte Williams and listen, it's a great story.

878
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: Like it's amazing that he even saw preseason action.

879
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 4: In week two.

880
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: But think about Taquon Barkley in the year he came

881
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: up the ACL, he came back, he played Week one, right,

882
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: he was there, but he wasn't Saquan. He didn't have

883
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: that big playability. He didn't have that first like ACL

884
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: tears are tough to come back from. And so I

885
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: think that even if Javontay Williams is out there, it

886
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he's the guy we saw, you know, his

887
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: rookie year and sort of he's not the guy that

888
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: we saw in that Kansas City game where he was

889
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: just like he's just an absolute, you know, fantasy superstar.

890
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 1: I think he's in a I think he's in a committee.

891
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: And so give me some maa JP Ryan at cost

892
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: over Javonte Williams. He's being drafted as a borderline top

893
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: twenty running back.

894
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 2: Interesting. All right, we'll wrap up with this. Kellen Moore

895
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 2: goes to the Chargers.

896
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 3: Moore made some fantasy superstars in Dallas, namely Pollard.

897
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 2: Does that put Zeke I'm sorry not Zeke Austin.

898
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 3: Eckler in like your top five among running backs and

899
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 3: that's a guy you got to go grab or is

900
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 3: there just too many weapons on the Chargers?

901
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 2: You know, proceed with caution.

902
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 4: He's my number two overall running back. I think that

903
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 4: has a has a huge year. I think Kellen Moore.

904
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: I thought it was a mistake for Dallas to get

905
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: rid of Kellen Moore as a person, as a person

906
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: who is a Commander's fan. I was happy to see

907
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: him leave the division because I think he's pretty good.

908
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 4: It's interesting.

909
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 1: I was at a party the other day and guy

910
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: recognizes me and he says, you know. He tells me

911
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: he's a Cowboys fan and I said, uh, I said, oh,

912
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: a tough.

913
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 4: Loss for you guys, losing Tayllen Moore. He goes, what

914
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 4: do you mean? You know?

915
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: And he's like, what are you talking about. I'm glad

916
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: he's gone. I'm like, you're glad he's gone. He's like, yeah,

917
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: what do you mean Kellen Moore? And I'm like, dude,

918
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: you went four and one with Cooper Rush.

919
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 4: What more do you want from the guy? He went

920
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 4: boorn one with Cooper Rush?

921
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: Like Dak hurts his hand and everyone's like, oh, the

922
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: season's over, and then you go four and with Cooper rash.

923
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 4: I I I'm just I'm not. I'm not a Mike

924
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 4: McCarthy guy. And so I think, yes, I think Justin

925
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 4: Herbert has a monster year. Love Uh, I love Michael

926
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 4: like I like Mike Williams.

927
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: That cost over Keenan Allen this year as well, because

928
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: he's going signific later. I think Mike Williams has a

929
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: big year. And uh, I think the addition of Quinton

930
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: Johnson will really stretch the field for Justin Herbert. That

931
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: was the issue last year for the Chargers. They just

932
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: didn't have a guy that could stretch the field, which

933
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: is why they were so many dumpoffs Stuston Eckler. So

934
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: I think he probably gets less receptions, but he's much

935
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 1: more effective.

936
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 4: And I think the teams in scoring position.

937
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: People forget two years ago Justin Herbert was the second

938
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: best quarterback in Fantasy Wow.

939
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 4: With all of his guys healthy this.

940
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 1: Year and and Kellen Moore call in the plays, I

941
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,399
Speaker 1: think he has a huge, huge year.

942
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 2: All Right, where can they find Love Hate and all

943
