Here's your host. Welcome to Fantasy 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:28.440 Football Weekly, another preseason edition. This is episode five, year 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:32.120 number twenty six for Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:38.240 Giarchi and my coast today are Scott Fish and Matt Harrison. Hello, guys, Hey, hey, 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.959 it's we're only we're less than two weeks away from 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:46.000 the start of the season, and they're so little news 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:51.120 without the preseason games and with limited access to practices 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:55.480 walk throughs. Uh. It's it's it's just a different world. 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.960 And I get the feeling we're gonna be so wrong 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:01.400 on so many things in week one. You know, I 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:03.920 think normally we've got a reasonably good read. On week 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:10.000 it's gonna be Frisman Jackson everywhere. That's exactly right. And 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:13.200 it maybe it's okay to be wrong. Who's the Cowboys read? 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.319 I don't think that our listeners think it's okay for 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.480 us to be wrong. Wrong. I meant they're wrong, not us. Yeah, 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.040 we won't be wrong about anything ever. On this show, 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.280 we go through the news from around the league at 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:28.680 the outset of all these preseason shows, and this is 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:32.320 when we're trying to take little nuggets and gleaning little 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.240 things from on site reporters and try to figure things 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:38.600 out without the preseason games so we can normally use 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.520 to get a better read on things. It is more challenging, 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.760 but we're up to the task. Beginning with the Panthers, 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:49.200 Matt The Panthers held an inter squad scrimmage that's hard 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:53.600 to say inter squad scrimmage on Tuesday. The only touchdown 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.480 in the game was a Bridgewater fade route into the 0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:01.160 end zone to slot receiver Christian McCaffrey. Yeah, alright, Christian 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.800 McCaffrey lined up in the slot on that play. They're 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:05.760 going to be lining him up everywhere on the field 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:10.480 this year. One point zero one in every draft, it's 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:14.520 Christian McCaffrey. It's uh, it's pretty universal right now. Smith, 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.200 John H. Smith. I respect that do Gardner Minshew things 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:23.000 taken off. There are people doing it skyrocket, But here's 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:24.919 the thing. If you're doing it in a free league, 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:29.480 don't bother tweeting me. It's gutless tweet me the picture, 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.400 the photo of you of your draft room with you 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:36.040 taking Gardner Minshew and your hundred dollar entry fee. There 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.560 we go. Now we're talking. I think they're only giving 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.600 away like two cases of beer for this too, So 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:45.760 it's a sweepsticks still right now, they are giving a 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:50.160 lifetime a year's supply away if you win your league 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:54.200 with it, if you how many how many people? A 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.000 lot of people are going to do that. You know 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.000 they can't. They're gonna be thousands of people that do that. 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.799 You could rig your free league to make sure you went. 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:05.000 It's probably just one they probably probably, I'm sure they Anyway, 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:10.560 let's go to the Las Vegas Raiders. Uh, Tyrrelle Williams 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.800 torn labor. He's gonna try to play through it. But 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.560 I've had one and it can't imagine trying to play 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:19.560 through that and catch footballs, especially reaching up to grab football's. 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.640 Um and Nelson l z Jones are supposedly in great 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:27.680 shape and in football somehow. That's the real news is 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.400 that they're still in football. Um, I think Tyroll Williams 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.760 is undraftable, and I think, oh yeah, he's slid down 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:36.960 to maybe the seventies or eighties in my rankings. Probably, Yeah, really, 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:38.720 I wasted your time because all three. We can talk 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.840 a little bit more about that Raiders wide receiver position later. 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.680 The Packers album was already is surging with big catches 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.240 and practice and is sewn away the number two receiving job. 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:51.040 He's being vastly underdrafted right now. His average draft position 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:56.320 is one seventy five. And you've got a for sure 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.040 number two. Yeah, for sure number two. Aaron Rodgers has 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.840 got some miles loft. Don him. It's it's it seems odd. 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.880 Let's go to the Washington football team at Ben Standig 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.560 of the Athletics says that Bryce Love is not a 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.800 lock to make the roster and has been running with 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.720 the second and third team in practice. Man who is 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:15.840 on the first team, I think I read that is 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:17.800 he's not a lot to be active on game days 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.520 if they only start three. But either way, Adrian Peterson 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.039 is splitting reps with Antonio Gibson with the first team 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:27.440 right now. Second team leader j D. Mcksucker, j D mcsucking, 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.520 I will be stunned if he ends up being a 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:34.120 material part of this offense. He's ahead of Bryce Love 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.719 right now. Well, I've always there starter as the thirty 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.680 six year old, so you might you might be Adrian 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:44.400 Peterson's basically he's almost free in league. Nobody's taking him, 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.400 and he's gonna be one of those guys where you 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:48.520 draft him and suddenly you've got a flex player that 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:52.760 you can start every week. He's gonna get seven touchdowns. 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.680 All right, let's go to Let's go to Buffalo Scott 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.559 Josh Allen hoping to run less often, which is something 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:03.159 fantasy owners loved. He he's mostly especially after you ran 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:08.719 for nine touchdowns last year nine times. There it is there, 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:12.960 it is the colt head coach Frank Right, there's more 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:19.719 singletary battling, a bunch of fumbling issues and uh, Zack, really, 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:25.000 you don't say Church is okay? With that interruption? That's 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.520 the lead story. Why would you not have Jack Moss 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:33.240 news first alight standing rule for this show going forward 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:38.159 if you have good Zack Moss News Smiths or John 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.680 Smith News right to the top of the show, right 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:44.880 to the open cold said coach. Frank Wright says that 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.440 tight end will be a really really important dynamics. I 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:52.080 wanted you to do your Frank Reich voice again. It 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:56.719 sounded so really important dynamic for the team's offense. Yes, 0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:01.040 apparently he's marble mouse. Jack Doyle is you're likely starter. 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:05.760 Trey Burton could play the Eric Ebron. Remember Burton Reich 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.680 we're together in Philadelphia, so they have a little bit 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.760 of shared history there. Let's go to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:15.279 Chris Godwin returned from missing three straight practices earlier in 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.680 the week, and if you're drafting a kicker, watch out 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.479 for the Tampa situation. Right now. Elliott Fry and Matt 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.800 Gay are locked in a battle. The winner will be 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:25.719 part of a good offense and probably be a really 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.120 good kicker. But you might not want to draft them yet. 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.640 You might want to pick them up after it's decided. Yeah, 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.080 Tampa Bay scored the fourth most points in the NFL 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.200 last year. You know whoever ends up kicking for them, 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.360 you know, it's it's more about opportunity. It's a top 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.479 five kicker no matter who wins. But we don't know 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.320 who's gonna win. Let's go to the Cleveland Brown Scott 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.839 Nick Chubb in concussion protocol, but it's a way un 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:48.800 till the season, so he should be fine. He'll be fine. 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:53.360 The Chiefs general manager Brett Veach says that Clyde Edwards 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.120 a laire is quote on pace to have a big 0:06:56.200 --> 0:07:00.280 year to be our primary ball carrier. Hell yeah, baby, 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.040 that's what I want to hear. Even at this time 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.960 of year when everybody's lying, I don't care because that 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:09.880 fits my personal theress and I want information bias. Absolutely, 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.640 let's go to the Detroit Lions. Man. The running back 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.360 situation is a little bit messy right now. DeAndre Swift 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.560 was held out of practice Tuesday and Thursday, and the 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.760 reasons were not disclosed. He did practice in a limited 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.480 fashion on Wednesday, but carry on, Johnson's wearing a knee 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:28.320 brace for confidence reasons, and even both Scarborough is limited 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.320 to practice right now. It's a little dicey in that 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:35.680 running back room. The New York Jets Scott, multiple Beat reporters, 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.600 and Adam Gates have all said that Frank Gore is 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.960 the best back in camp. But god, let's come to this, 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.560 but watch out, watch out case traded for his boy, 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:50.840 Kalin Blage. How about everybody's reporting the Dolphins are going 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:55.360 to just drop Palin Blage and Adam Gates coast whoa whoa, whoa, whoa. 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:59.480 I will give you draft picks my beer. What the 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:05.000 war the Rams. Last week we talked about Josh Reynolds 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:08.480 holding off Van Jefferson, but this is a fluid situation. 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:13.040 This week now Van Jefferson is getting so much praise 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.800 and getting run with the first team offense, and from 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:19.720 time to time this could be a developing situation. And 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:21.800 maybe for the time being, you can't draft either Van 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.680 Jefferson or Josh Reynolds. But I still think start of 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.360 the season Josh Reynolds. By the end of the season 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.880 Van Jefferson. Let's go to the Seattle Seahawks. Matt Little 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:35.199 running back news. Chris Carson returned to camp after resolving 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.280 some personal matters. But Pete Carroll, Oh, let me do 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:43.760 my Pete Carroll impression here. He said that, Hello, Gavna 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:52.000 Carloside will be a big factor. What I thought that 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:56.360 was dead on Scott The Denver Broncos Vick van Jo 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.040 after a couple of weeks ago saying that Melvin Gordon 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.120 would be the lead back of the committee. Now he says, 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:04.719 not so shure. I'd like I think we're in a 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.440 position where we don't have a starter. I think that's 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:11.679 closer to correct, to be honest. Uh, let's so, what's next, Oh, 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.240 it's me the Vikings. Ola b C. Johnson looks like 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.600 you're opening day starter, opposite Adam Feeling. When asked about 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:22.760 Justin Jefferson's development, Kirk Cousins migrated the conversation over to 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.559 Ola B. C. Johnson, who he described as having maybe 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:30.439 the best training camp of anyone on the team. And 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.600 now Justin Jefferson has been fine, but b. C. Johnson 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.160 has been in the system for a year. It's a 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.960 big advantage this season. I think your opening day, your 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.160 opening day starter is going to be Ola B. C. 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:44.000 Johnson at wide receiver for the Vikings. Philadelphia Eagles matt 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:49.640 left tackle Andre Dillard suffered a torn biceps during Thursday's practice. 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:53.480 He's out for the season. Luckily, they resigned former left 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.320 tackle Jason Peters to play guard. He's gonna slot over 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:01.200 to left tackle now, and Isaac see Malu becomes the 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.680 new left card All right, and to the New England Patriots, 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:09.080 Scott Nearly everyone involved watching the Patriots practices, says day 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:12.079 Damian Harris is standing out like a Zach Moss type 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.720 player at this, let's not get carried away zat Moss. 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:21.280 But Davis, he's your He's gonna be your starter, and 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.520 it's gonna be the Andes Sony Michelle. Yeah, he's put 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:25.960 in work with Michelle out. I'm glad to hear that. 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.439 For the Steelers wide receiver, rookie wide receiver Chase Claypool 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:33.839 looks fantastic, drawing rave reviews, which could be trouble for 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.600 somebody when they've got all these other receivers that want 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.280 to get fed the ball. If Claypool ends up making 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.960 an impact and getting into some some first team wraps, 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:44.960 who knows, somebody's gonna be the odd man out. And 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.280 I've talked before I get I get a little bit 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:51.560 worried about Maybe we'll talk more about that later. Dallas 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.320 Cowboys Matt both starting tackles for the Cowboys are dealing 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.800 with injury. Tyron Smith was limited on Thursday with a 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:00.040 hamstring injury. L Collins has been sitting out after a 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.920 hard crash beat Reporters expect both to be ready by 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:06.720 Week one. Scott Tennessee Titans. This one's short Ryan Tannehill. 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.959 The Derrick Henry has been working on his pass catching 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:14.280 and Tannehill sleazy looks really good and really confident catching it. Now, Yeah, 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.200 I mean if if Henry is gonna catch, if he adds, yeah, 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.599 if he he catches fifty passes, he's she should be 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:23.920 the first player taking in the draft. Probably forty is 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.040 almost every wide receiver has heard Kendrick Borne is basically 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.199 the last man standing there. Um. The team has turned 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:34.200 to wash outs like Kevin White for depth, but the 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.760 hope is closer to the first game of the season, 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.400 they'll start getting some guys back. Kendrick Borne might be 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.480 a sneaky pick up for you could do a Deebo 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.400 Samuel super late because he's he's going got drafted at 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.720 this stage because of people worried about the Liz Frank right, 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.480 So you could do Deebo Samuel really late and then 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.480 last pick your draft Kendrick Borne, and you've got a 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.000 San Francisco starting wide receiver. They think Deebo is gonna 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.480 be ready for week one now they're they say, sprinting 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.360 hard and practice and there's lots of good signs on debot. 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.640 I hope. So, but you know, these Liz Frank injuries, 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:07.080 We've seen this thing go three surgeries deep. So it's 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.520 just my wife's had one for two years. Yeah, it's 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.760 it is. She doesn't play for the forty Niners right now. 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.760 She's on the wide receiver death chart somewhere, somebody is Matt. 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:21.240 Let's go to the Giant. Rookie safety Xavier McKinney underwent 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.400 surgery on a broken left foot, hopeful to return in 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.680 late November, and see Kwon Barkley limped off the field 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:30.080 on Monday, didn't finish practice, but has been back practicing 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.640 later in the week. But he did get a little 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:34.840 dinged up in practice. We'll hope he fin I assume 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:38.600 he's fine. Cincinnati Bengal Scott Joe Mixon has been missing 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:42.360 practice due to what Zach Taylor says. He thinks his migraines. 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:47.000 That's interesting in a contract, how you not know? But yeah, 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.199 that's exactly the point. He was threatening contract told out 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.240 and he's missing practices. Uh a j Greenback and Joe 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.680 Burrow is looking lights out in two minute drills. Yeah, 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.040 Joe Burrow is going to be legit. I'm confident think 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:03.079 he breaks seven. Baker may feel session record. I kind 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:05.120 of want to bet the over. I think I kind 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.280 of do too. I kind of do too, Ravens J K. 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.880 Dobbins turning heads in almost every practice. He's expecting to 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.760 have a significant early role. I don't think we're gonna 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.200 have to wait for him to get a lot of 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.600 a lot of run here. I think he presses mark 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.440 ingram for time, um really fairly early in the season. 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.360 Gus Edwards is going to be the odd man out 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:26.640 of this deal, almost certainly at lint of Falcons, Matt, Oh, 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:30.760 I want to try another impersonation of offensive coordinator Dirt Cutter. 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.880 You're ready, yes, hi hole, this is Dirk Cutter. I 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.520 want Todd Gurwey to get at least fifteen touches per 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.480 game this year. Is that good? That was a Kermit 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.120 the Frog. That was not No, that was totally Dirk Cutter. 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.840 That was a Kermit the Frog. I'm pretty sure Dirk 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:49.040 Cutter says hi ho every time he meets Yeah. Lakwan 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.320 Treadwell also has a bad case of the drops, according 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:56.920 to the Falcons website, So who does I'm sorry, Lakwan Treadwell. No, 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.520 I don't think he's gonna make the roster. No, all 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.679 that's so bold? Oh, No, Scott the Chargers. Mike Williams 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:04.959 could miss the season open or with the shoulder spring 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.600 and Josh Kelly has been looking really good, my sleeper 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.840 from two weeks ago. Uh, they now think he has 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:11.720 the edge for the number two jobs. I think that's 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.199 going to be the case right now. Mike Williams is 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.880 hard to draft at all at this stage. Um, and 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:19.680 I realized he may he may even be ready for 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.400 the opener, but he was already a touchdown dependent guy 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:25.680 who's g gives you really hot. Average depth of targets 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:29.160 like almost twenty tyrods is like nine. Yeah, that's a 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.440 bad fit. Yeah, and we're nervous about that for sure. 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:34.320 Let's our last. We have two teams left, and they're 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.200 both Mats. The Cardinals. Kenyan Drake has been held out 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.280 of practice with a foot injury and was seen in 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.680 a walking boot earlier in the week. Oh, Chase Edmonds 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.440 getting all of the first team loving right now? I 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.400 think that's I think Chase is gonna get way more 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.920 work than people. And then how about David Montgomery for 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.560 the Bears who slipped while carrying the rock and practice. 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.320 They're calling it a strained groin and saying he's expected 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.600 to be out two to four weeks. That does give 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:01.400 him an outside shot of being ready for opening Day. Also, 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.720 Adam Hogue of NBC Sports that it looks like Nick 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.720 Foles is pulling away from Mitch Rubinsky. Yeah. You know 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.440 the thing with David Montgomery and this groin injury, if 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.080 you bring him back, you know, groin injuries and running 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:17.320 backs terrible combination and easily something that could end up 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:21.080 being a ren aggravation to the injury if you're bringing 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:24.240 back too soon. They have virtually no depth at the 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.360 position because three cones not gonna you know, He's not 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:32.200 gonna be Maybe it might be Cordell Patterson or Spencer Ware, 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:36.560 remember Naggie and Spencer Ware, but his together, I know, 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.160 you know what I'd rather where on my team. I 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:43.880 think at this day, well they could Jackson Jacks want picks. 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.240 Maybe that's maybe that's what they end up doing here. 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:50.880 When we come back this weekend, tons of drafts and auctions. 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.760 You will get advice from all of us for draft 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.720 and auction day. This is a huge week for them. 0:15:56.720 --> 0:16:20.520 Coming up next Fantasy Football Weekly, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.400 Paul church In, Scott Fish and Matt Harrison with you. 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.760 This is a huge weekend for drafts, auctions all this week. Really, 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.400 we've got only two weeks left to get in your 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.520 draft and auction, so this is this is a biggie, 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.080 probably the most popular week. So let's spend a little 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:39.840 bit of time just giving draft day advice, whether it's 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.200 a draft or an auction, the kind of advice that 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.400 you want to do that people should hear as they're 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.280 heading in to their drafts and they're trying to maximize 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:49.080 it the most. You know, the two hours you're gonna 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:50.960 spend in this draft. You gotta live with these decisions 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.360 all year long. This is awfully important. Let's make sure 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:55.760 to get it right. Scott. Let's begin with you. I 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.920 know that you, like me, prefer the auction or the draft. 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.640 You're gonna focus largely on auction related advice. I've got 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.040 a smack, I got a little everything over. What do 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:06.840 you want to talk about? First? I was upset you 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.800 had that nineteen percent question last week on three tough questions. Yeah, 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:12.480 the question last week was is it a viable auction 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.320 strategy to not spend more than nine percent of your 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.879 budget on any one player this particular year? Did you 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.600 know My first ever article when I entered this industry 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:25.000 for full time was a full article on auction strategy, 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:31.359 and my main talking point was never spend over fifteen percent? 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.360 So have you lived by that? I? I have lived 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:36.440 by that, except for in bank roll leagues because they're 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.680 a little different, but you know, there are different types, 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.359 but in all other ones, I've absolutely lived by it. 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.639 Auctions are so fluid that I love the hard cap 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.200 of a in a two dollar auction, when a player 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.879 gets to thirty dollars, I'm just out. I'm out. And 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:53.440 this year I wanted to focus on it this year, 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:58.000 especially because it's so dang deep. But you don't have 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.480 to spend over thirty on anyone. Let everyone waste their 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:05.560 money and is my long hard standing rule. So that's 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:07.840 tip one on and you know what, to me, I 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.879 couldn't live with that every year, but this year in 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:14.800 the deepest draft I've ever seen, Yeah, having money and 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.439 at the one hour mark of your auction is a 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:19.240 really good spot to be in. It's pretty nice to 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:22.840 run the board late an auction, is it ever? It's empowering. 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:27.119 It's like the best feeling when everybody's just scrambling and going, oh, please, 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:30.880 don't take this guy for two exactly when you can 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.560 control the board, it's a It is a lot of 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:36.000 power you don't ever normally have. It's like if you 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.199 were in a draft and you had every pick in 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:42.720 the twelfth round of your draft. Yeah, well, to me, 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:44.320 it doesn't feel like the twelveth round. It feels like 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:47.760 the seventh round. One thing that that hard limit does 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:49.560 and if you can stick to it, which you should, 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:53.480 it keeps you from price price enforcing and gain stuck it. Uh. 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:57.920 It also keeps you avoids tilting. You're not gonna tilting. Yeah, 0:18:58.080 --> 0:18:59.760 so it's a good point. It calms you down in 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:02.479 an and I've seen I've seen people tilt where they 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:07.400 get in absolute and the next thing you know, you're 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:10.000 way over here there. They're probably doing it with you, 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.919 against you as they're looking at your cheat sheet and 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.840 the action people knowing your strategy will bid thirty one 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:18.840 just to fight price yard. I don't care this has 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:21.000 happened to me because my cheat sheet is available for 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:25.480 free com and so I'm in an auction. People are 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:28.239 holding my sheet and looking at me and raising my 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:31.080 bids because they've got my maximum in front of them. 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.040 They know what they know exactly what I think. I 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.800 blame Brian Oak. I think you should he said you've 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:39.480 done it to me before. Uh Matt from Draft Advice, 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.159 So I I kind of went all in on the 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:44.639 drafts and I just wanted to kind of go over 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:49.560 my Gainesville strategy again. The three five two that's the 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:52.400 area code of Gainesville, Florida. That's where it gets the name. 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:54.879 Chart likes to call it undo the option. And someone 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:58.320 just tweeted us while we're talking about under the opposite, 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:01.600 So I think that's catching off undo the opposite if 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:03.520 there's ever a year to undo the opposite. This. So 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:06.440 the strategy dictates that you take running backs with your 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:10.560 first three picks, wide receivers with your next five, and 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:12.560 then two more running backs in rounds nine and ten. 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:15.359 That's the three five two um. So that means you 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:19.240 leave the first ten rounds with zero quarterbacks, zero tight ends, 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.679 five running backs, five wide receivers. And why would you 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:24.600 do this? The depth of the players at certain positions 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.879 is so weird this year. There's so many good deep quarterbacks, 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:32.120 there's so many good deep tight ends, and the wide 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:35.200 receivers and running backs in rounds four through eight. That's 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:37.800 what it's all about for me and this so get this. 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:41.200 Here are the running backs available in rounds four through eight. 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:45.440 Chris Carson, who I like, David Johnson, Levy on Bell, 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:50.720 Raheem mostart mark Ingram, James Conner, Devin Singletary, David Montgomery. 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:53.320 There's lots of question marks there. But if you look 0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:56.760 at the wide receivers that go in rounds four through eight, 0:20:56.800 --> 0:20:58.960 and only eleven wide receivers are going in the first 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:03.280 three rounds, It's A J. Brown, It's Cooper Cup, Allen Robinson, 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.960 Adam Feeling, d J. Moore, Calvin Ridley, the list goes 0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:10.920 on and on. It's absolutely insane the value you can 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:13.560 get in those middle rounds with wide receivers right now 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:16.840 and come out with three stud wide receivers. And that's 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:19.080 why I want to keep doing the Gainesville the three 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:22.359 five tree to um. I think there's a lot of 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:24.440 too too with this this this particular year. It's the 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:26.639 way it works out, and we're really seeing running backs. 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:29.960 Running backs are going hard and early, and if they're 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:33.360 they're they're tapping out faster than wide receiver. Buy a lot. 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:36.600 This particularly well and one more thing quarterback and tight 0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:43.080 end easy to you can get at tight end in 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:47.320 round eleven Hayden Hurst, t J Hockenson, MIKESICKI, John U 0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:52.200 Smith Just stop at John. I got Gardner, Minshew and 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:57.120 Joe Burrow in the fourth rounds of an IDP draft yesterday. Yeah, 0:21:57.240 --> 0:22:01.560 well cut in half twelve team what quarterback like you 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:05.840 said Roethlisberger, Minshew, Cam Newton, Joe Burrow, Tannehill, Cousins like 0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:09.960 you can get. There's good quarterbacks, um, and I guess 0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:12.600 my first bullet point on this discussion about what to do. 0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:15.040 Today's your draft day, your auction day. You're listening to 0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:17.240 the show getting prepped up. This is the year to 0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:19.640 just try something new. Maybe it's what Matt just described, 0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:22.200 maybe it's something else. This is the deepest draft I've 0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:23.879
