Speaker 1: Wow, what's up, everybody?
Speaker 2: Welcome to another edition of the Fantasy Cheat Sheet. I'm
Speaker 2: Marcus Grant here with Michael f Florio and Lakwan Jones,
Speaker 2: who worked.
Speaker 3: At our technicals.
Speaker 2: Because we are here, which Frio, I know you are
Speaker 2: frustrated to live. Before we get into anything, let's give
Speaker 2: you a minute to gloat about the Knicks, because I'm
Speaker 2: sure that'll make you feel better.
Speaker 4: Look.
Speaker 5: Look, look, look the Knicks are without They're all NBA forward,
Speaker 5: they're starting center, they're six man off the bench, all
Speaker 5: world point guard. Missed over a quarter, their second best
Speaker 5: player missed over a quarter. And yet every excuse is
Speaker 5: made for the teams that the Knicks are playing, because
Speaker 5: that's what the Knicks do. They just wear you out
Speaker 5: and they boty you for forty eight minutes. Shout out
Speaker 5: to Rick Carlile, Shout out to the revs, and shout
Speaker 5: out to all you salty sixer fans who watched Bread
Speaker 5: waiting to root something against them.
Speaker 3: I you know that's funny.
Speaker 2: I got home a little bit later and I turned
Speaker 2: on the game, and I was like right before halftime,
Speaker 2: and I just heard them talking about how Jalen Brunson
Speaker 2: went out in the first late first quarter, has missed
Speaker 2: the entire second quarter, and I was gonna like text
Speaker 2: you to see if you were okay, and I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna leave him be right now, like it
Speaker 2: seems like it's so I just let it go. And
Speaker 2: then obviously we saw what happened. He comes, Brunston comes back,
Speaker 2: and Nick's come back and win, and I'm like this,
Speaker 2: dude's probably on Cloud eleven at this point. To the
Speaker 2: point that you you got a little salty on Twitter
Speaker 2: last night, I think we have that right.
Speaker 3: We have the tweet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, got a little spicy on Twitter last night, which
Speaker 2: is very funny.
Speaker 5: I sent seventy nine plays to the NBA where he's
Speaker 5: saying the calls got wrong, Like, man, the Knicks fourth
Speaker 5: point guard just just accept.
Speaker 4: The olp.
Speaker 3: Oh man. Man.
Speaker 2: I love its Knicks fans. Are you guys are you've
Speaker 2: earned it? You guys are ob noxious right now. But
Speaker 2: you know what, as long as you guys keep here's
Speaker 2: the thing I would say this, if you get through
Speaker 2: this series, we need you to beat Boston just for
Speaker 2: the good of America. You gotta beat the Celtics.
Speaker 5: Everyone it's been tweeting me the last couple like, wait
Speaker 5: till you get okay, Boston will probably run through us.
Speaker 4: We are depleted.
Speaker 5: Making the finals is a huge accomplishment for this we
Speaker 5: the Knicks have won three playoff series in two decades.
Speaker 5: Let Nick fans enjoy.
Speaker 6: Yes happy.
Speaker 7: I'll tell you that because one of my studies, the
Speaker 7: Knicks fan, he's probably watching right now. Shout out to you, rooman.
Speaker 7: I know you guys are celebrating, but man, Knicks happy.
Speaker 7: They're better people.
Speaker 2: The social videos have been wild from like Knicks fans
Speaker 2: like just out on the street, man, just like outside
Speaker 2: in a big way right now without outside for real?
Speaker 2: All right, let's uh, let's talk with football, so I
Speaker 2: guess that's what the show pretends to be. For about
Speaker 2: twenty five minutes or so, A quick one quick headline
Speaker 2: of the notes for fantasy folks, Tyler Boyd, no longer
Speaker 2: with the Cincinnati Bengals, signs a one year contract with
Speaker 2: the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 3: Does that move the needle for you, lakwan.
Speaker 7: Uh for fantasy No, because you obviously still have d
Speaker 7: hop you still have Ridley there. We still have the
Speaker 7: question marks about Will Levis as well, But I like
Speaker 7: that it's a nice little plug and play spot being
Speaker 7: then he has the previous history Canalis, So I feel
Speaker 7: like more so how boy comes in as a.
Speaker 6: Security blanking for Will Levis.
Speaker 7: You know, a reliable target that can get you the
Speaker 7: first downs.
Speaker 3: You feel the same way or are you?
Speaker 2: Are you putting a positive spin on this for fantasy Floria.
Speaker 5: I think it's a good thing if you like Will
Speaker 5: Levis because now he has another surehanded target that he
Speaker 5: could throw it too over the middle. I think the
Speaker 5: most interesting takeaway is what this does now for the
Speaker 5: Bengals because it leaves their slot wide open, Like Tyler
Speaker 5: Board would always monopolize a lot of those slot routes,
Speaker 5: so we could see Jamar Chase move in the slot
Speaker 5: more with Jermaine Burton speed out wide.
Speaker 4: I think we'll also see.
Speaker 5: Maybe a little bit of t Higgins and Jermaine Burton
Speaker 5: playing in the slot.
Speaker 4: It just opens up a lot of different weapons and
Speaker 4: ways the Bengals could attack him.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I do think the Bengals are gonna sort of I
Speaker 2: won't say mix and match because that sounds like they
Speaker 2: don't have pieces. I think they'll they'll vary up who's
Speaker 2: in the slot, but I do think we're gonna see
Speaker 2: a lot of Jamar Chase there, and it does mean
Speaker 2: that you'll see some Jermaine Burton outside as well, So
Speaker 2: that is very cool. Hey man, shout out to Cornwall Ryan, soay,
Speaker 2: he's frobably able to catch the live show.
Speaker 3: Dude, We appreciate you. What is time? Was it?
Speaker 2: There's probably what about five six o'clock in the evening there.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna shut out Team Man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, we are glad to know be seven it
Speaker 3: is six sixteen pm.
Speaker 6: So either way, glory glory, Manchester United. You know we're
Speaker 6: playing bad right now.
Speaker 3: Kind of thing, which, by the way, nobody out there knows.
Speaker 3: We know this.
Speaker 2: In the office, last was the last World Cup? Right
Speaker 2: the United States and England are playing each other. Lakwan
Speaker 2: tells us that he is an England fan that you
Speaker 2: know he loves you know what's it? Wayne Rooney was
Speaker 2: your dude for US England playing each other in the
Speaker 2: World Cup. He shows up in the office in Los Angeles, California,
Speaker 2: United States of America, wearing the three lions on his chest.
Speaker 2: Come on, you always got fired, you almost mat just
Speaker 2: fire fired into the ocean like all that day.
Speaker 7: It was David Beckham's last international duty jersey man, it
Speaker 7: has special meanings.
Speaker 2: There were three hundred and sixty four other days of
Speaker 2: the year you could have worn that shirt, not the
Speaker 2: day they're playing the United States.
Speaker 3: In the World Cup. What are you doing?
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, I can't promise you it won't happen again.
Speaker 2: I mean I thought, I honestly thought I was emotionally
Speaker 2: past it, but obviously I'm not.
Speaker 3: Like, just thinking about it again has gotten.
Speaker 6: Me very triggered. For a lot of folks in their office.
Speaker 3: Just what what is happening? Uh? Anyway?
Speaker 2: Story from from Chad reader Chad Reid on NFL dot
Speaker 2: Com and we love chat. We should get Chad on
Speaker 2: on the pod once. I know he's a fan of
Speaker 2: what we do. And we love Chad too. He did
Speaker 2: a story about uh, a group of Day three rookies
Speaker 2: who could compete for starter snaps in year one. Now
Speaker 2: there are some guys who are, you know, not necessarily
Speaker 2: fantasy relevant. One of them, though, was Jatavian Sanders, the
Speaker 2: tight end from Texas who goes to the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 2: And I bring him up because when we had Bucky
Speaker 2: Brooks on our pod, yesterday, which can go check out
Speaker 2: it is now live. We asked him about other tight
Speaker 2: ends not named brock Bowers who could compete, and he
Speaker 2: jumped in immediately with Jatavian Sanders. Uh, I mean, Floria, this,
Speaker 2: this Panthers offense, there are roles kind of up for grabs.
Speaker 2: I know they went out and they you know, they
Speaker 2: added Deontay Johnson, they drafted xavierly Get, they drafted Jonathan Brooks,
Speaker 2: but there's still really a chance to kind of challenge
Speaker 2: at the tight end spot. Would you I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: say throw a dart late Rex. I don't even think
Speaker 2: he's a late round draft pick, but but could we
Speaker 2: see him as a guy that maybe becomes a streaming
Speaker 2: option some point late.
Speaker 3: In the season.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely think so. I think he's a player.
Speaker 5: Like you said, you don't want to draft him, you
Speaker 5: want to take a wait and see approach, because rookie
Speaker 5: tight end a lot of new pieces in that offense.
Speaker 5: And another thing Bucky was talking about yesterday was the
Speaker 5: post by Bump that a lot of rookies get so
Speaker 5: I wouldn't be surprised though, if later in the year
Speaker 5: we're seeing Sanders get more utilized. He's a big body
Speaker 5: weapon who could win across the middle and then after
Speaker 5: the catch and the issue I see early on though,
Speaker 5: is Deontay Johnson is gonna have a twenty five to
Speaker 5: thirty percent target share. I think Adam Thieling will still
Speaker 5: be heavily utilized early on, but as the season goes on,
Speaker 5: if anyone misses time or anything where he just gets
Speaker 5: more comfortable.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely think he could become a streaming option.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think that's that's best case scenario, right,
Speaker 2: Lakwan like, yeah, there, you know there's brock Bowers. There's
Speaker 2: no there are no other you know, this isn't like
Speaker 2: last year where you've got a Sam Laporta. Uh you know,
Speaker 2: uh who else do we have? I'm blanking on the
Speaker 2: rookie time.
Speaker 6: Yeah there you.
Speaker 3: Go, Yeah, there it is.
Speaker 2: There's nobody like that in this class besides possibly brock Bowers.
Speaker 2: So I don't I don't think there's a chance, uh
Speaker 2: Sanders has more than.
Speaker 3: Maybe just streaming value at any point this year. How
Speaker 3: are we feeling about the Panthers offense?
Speaker 2: Because I think it's more interesting certainly than it was
Speaker 2: last year.
Speaker 3: Are you willing to take shots at the Panthers offense.
Speaker 7: Uh yes, I'm willing to take some darts on There's
Speaker 7: some good value on guys Deontay Johnson and even Adam Feeling.
Speaker 7: He's going in those later, later rounds where we saw
Speaker 7: him have a decent target share and be able to
Speaker 7: build that chemistry with Bryce Young even though the old
Speaker 7: line was not.
Speaker 6: Protecting Bryce Young.
Speaker 7: So I think there's still, you know, some account that
Speaker 7: we have Adam Deeling being a valuable target.
Speaker 6: If he's not the one, he'll be the two, you know.
Speaker 7: And I think this offense will be a lot better
Speaker 7: and a lot smoother being that they invested in the
Speaker 7: old line and went and got Jonathan Brooks who's apparently
Speaker 7: going to be ready week one.
Speaker 6: And like we loved, you.
Speaker 7: Know, Choopa Huber what he was able to do, but
Speaker 7: he just wasn't able to take that running game to
Speaker 7: the next level. So adding Jonathan Brooks, it gets the
Speaker 7: change move and it gets this offense and more scoring
Speaker 7: opportunities with a guy like Deontay Johnson Jonathan Brooks, and
Speaker 7: we haven't even mentioned they really gett I mean.
Speaker 6: He could be a big play maker for them as well.
Speaker 2: I love that after they drafted Legette, you had Dave
Speaker 2: Canalis talking about all the ways we can use him.
Speaker 2: We can line them up here, we can put him
Speaker 2: in the backfield, and like all the responses to the
Speaker 2: tweet were like, oh so he's a Like that was
Speaker 2: literally the way everybody.
Speaker 3: Went with And I'm like, man, that whatugh?
Speaker 2: Like you know, like I I I want to say, like,
Speaker 2: I have higher hopes for that, but I will also
Speaker 2: admit that I was a Channault stand like I really it.
Speaker 7: Was a little bit too actually, because he looks like
Speaker 7: a running back in open space when he has the ball,
Speaker 7: and you just want that to happen more often, but
Speaker 7: it doesn't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I just thought that was how he
Speaker 3: gets used and it just never happened.
Speaker 5: Yeah, dude, look, I know it's not sexy by any stretch,
Speaker 5: but I feel like Deonta Johnson is being undervalued.
Speaker 4: The seventh eighth round. I got him the other day
Speaker 4: at like wide.
Speaker 5: Receiver fifty in the Best Ball Draft, and I'm like,
Speaker 5: this guy is going to be top thirty off of
Speaker 5: pure volume alone.
Speaker 6: Volum is key here.
Speaker 7: I mean, I think we have to follow the volume
Speaker 7: and volum always follows him because he's able to separate
Speaker 7: and make big plays. So that's kind of crazy right now,
Speaker 7: being that it's early, but we'll see soon.
Speaker 2: Suck one hundred percent believe that. I think he's being
Speaker 2: underdrafted right now. It's it's insane because the one thing
Speaker 2: I keep saying when we looked when you saw like
Speaker 2: the all twenty two's of the Panthers passing game and
Speaker 2: people would pause it and like every single receiver would
Speaker 2: be covered, It's like, well, where's Bryce I'm supposed to
Speaker 2: go to football? Deontay Johnson can get open, he can win.
Speaker 2: That's a thing we have known about him for a
Speaker 2: long time. He was doing that back when he had
Speaker 2: the broken down version of Ben Roethlisberger. He was doing
Speaker 2: that when he had Knny Pickett. He could do that
Speaker 2: for Bryce Young. So I think he's being criminally underdrafted, right.
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say that out loud because I should probably
Speaker 2: take advantage of the situation, but.
Speaker 3: That's really what it is.
Speaker 2: So I man, that is you know what it's like
Speaker 2: being a doctor, right, do no harm. We gotta we
Speaker 2: gotta help the people out here. Don't sleep on THEO
Speaker 2: Johnson at six six. I don't think Danny Diames can
Speaker 2: miss him. My response to that is that Darren Waller
Speaker 2: was sixty six.
Speaker 3: Uh so.
Speaker 6: He missed him a lot.
Speaker 3: So Darren Waller was six to six. Do with that
Speaker 3: what you will.
Speaker 2: One from Maggie good Morning is the draft strategy of
Speaker 2: hero RB or no RB still a good way to
Speaker 2: go this year. If you were drafting using hero RB,
Speaker 2: which RB would you target in which round?
Speaker 3: I think it's a great strategy for this year.
Speaker 2: I have noticed in the MOCKX I'm doing in a
Speaker 2: couple of best ball I haven't done a lot of
Speaker 2: best balls yet, but the best balls I'm doing I
Speaker 2: tend to be more hero RB or zero RB. If
Speaker 2: I'm early in the first round, you know, I'm looking
Speaker 2: at Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 4: H.
Speaker 2: B, Jean Robinson, Breese Hall, that's kind of it. After that,
Speaker 2: I'm waiting until like the ninth round, and there are
Speaker 2: still guys out there that you can get in the
Speaker 2: ninth round or later. I don't know if you have
Speaker 2: you have you guys found you're doing zero RB.
Speaker 7: I found myself doing a little both where he mentioned
Speaker 7: those three names. If I don't get TMC, Breese Hall
Speaker 7: or you know, even Jamier Gibbs. You know, I kind
Speaker 7: of wait because Kyler's no longer your first round pick.
Speaker 7: So if I can get an elite alpha wide receiver
Speaker 7: in the first round, and then I can wait on
Speaker 7: a Kyler, or I could wait even later in those
Speaker 7: drafts and get one of those guys that is being
Speaker 7: slept on, like Brian Robinson Junior, who has some upside
Speaker 7: for some lowland RB one numbers. I'm stamping that, by
Speaker 7: the way, I'm playing that flag. But I feel like
Speaker 7: you could wait later and get some good value running
Speaker 7: backs later in the draft. But if it's not out
Speaker 7: of CMC Bresch Hall, I'm vijon. I'm really not trying
Speaker 7: to touch anybody any early in those third and fourth
Speaker 7: rounds are.
Speaker 5: Running back Yeah, for me, I think hero is the
Speaker 5: way to go because I look at it, there's by
Speaker 5: the letter of the law, there might be twelve RBS
Speaker 5: ones in fantasy, but there's six RB ones in my
Speaker 5: opinion this year, so and then all six are gone
Speaker 5: by the fifteenth pick. So that's why I love being
Speaker 5: in the back end of the first round, because I
Speaker 5: could get one of those top six running backs and
Speaker 5: I could still walk away with the top nine wide receiver.
Speaker 5: I said it on Twitter yesterday. I'm not the first
Speaker 5: person to say it. After about fifteen picks or so.
Speaker 5: It's really hard right now. Like there there's a lot
Speaker 5: of having to pick between players who are very, very similar,
Speaker 5: and it's just not a fun place you want to
Speaker 5: be in.
Speaker 4: So just like you guys said, I think you.
Speaker 5: Can wait and get running back values late, but I
Speaker 5: like getting one of those top six early.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I'm looking at you get to like
Speaker 2: the eighth and ninth round. Guys like Raheem Mostert is
Speaker 2: still out there, right, you know, insane right like Rai
Speaker 2: Moster's Like the gap between him and Devon a Chan
Speaker 2: is mind blowing to me right now, Like I don't
Speaker 2: understand that.
Speaker 3: I haven't been able to wrap my head around it.
Speaker 6: It's from Miami to Jersey. How how big that gap
Speaker 6: is and like what are we doing?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 2: But like you know, Raheem Mostert is out there, Zach
Speaker 2: Moss is out there.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Say what you want about Gus Edwards. He's going to
Speaker 2: get opportunities for the Chargers. He's another guy that I
Speaker 2: like that's sort of out there, honor. Yeah, James Connor
Speaker 2: is out.
Speaker 6: There mixing too. He's falling a little laid too.
Speaker 2: So this this honestly might be the best zero RB
Speaker 2: year that we've had in a long time.
Speaker 3: If ever, it's a mightly really good place to be.
Speaker 5: I do think there's certain players that are like Zamir
Speaker 5: White in the seventh round come August, I think he's
Speaker 5: gonna be a fifth round pick, if not higher.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know so I'm curious about that too,
Speaker 2: because I feel like this is the time of year
Speaker 2: where guys like that get pushed up because it's nothing
Speaker 2: but the sickos like us that are doing drafts. And
Speaker 2: then when we get closer to the season and you
Speaker 2: get more uh you know, civilians kind of jumping in
Speaker 2: and doing it. Like will they be as eager to
Speaker 2: jump in and push Samir White up?
Speaker 3: Or will we see that ADP fall.
Speaker 2: I always feel like I feel like there's an over
Speaker 2: correction in both directions. Like the guys that we are
Speaker 2: low on, that we spend all this time studying that
Speaker 2: we are low on, I think that, uh, the the
Speaker 2: more casual people kind of jump in and remember these
Speaker 2: names and push them up and vice versa. The people
Speaker 2: that we are high on that maybe doesn't everybody doesn't know,
Speaker 2: you know, the more casual fans kind of jump in
Speaker 2: and push those ADPs down.
Speaker 3: Yo, Chris Allen Man, than what up? Man? Who? I'll
Speaker 3: start with the floya. Who are your favorite late round
Speaker 3: targets right now?
Speaker 4: Just running back wise, we're talking, I'll.
Speaker 3: Open it up. Let's do any position whatever you.
Speaker 5: Like running backs. I'm thinking I like like Quorum. I
Speaker 5: know Bucky was touching on him yesterday. I like both
Speaker 5: of the Cowboys running backs there, just because I'm looking
Speaker 5: for volume that late.
Speaker 3: By both, you mean both, you mean like Zeke and
Speaker 3: Rico o'doudele.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love. I will gladly go right and get
Speaker 5: me a double double animal style.
Speaker 4: And just enjoy my night after a.
Speaker 5: Later rounds wide receiver wise, I'm just looking for upside, right,
Speaker 5: So like Rashid Shaheed, especially in Beastball, is someone that
Speaker 5: I like a lot. Michael Wilson a name I'm not
Speaker 5: ready quite yet to give up on.
Speaker 4: And then a lot.
Speaker 5: I take a lot of shots on rookies Malachai Corley,
Speaker 5: Roman Wilson, stuff like that, because they're they're the lottery
Speaker 5: tickets and if any receiver that lad is going to hit,
Speaker 5: I think it's a rookie and not like a veteran
Speaker 5: that we've seen for five years old.
Speaker 3: I agree, Yeah, who do you like? LQ?
Speaker 7: So people are probably gonna roast me for this, but
Speaker 7: he's falling so late to where he could possibly be
Speaker 7: the second option in the Browns offense. Like I'm taking
Speaker 7: a shot on Jerry Judy for a fresh shart, you know,
Speaker 7: because he could generate some targets.
Speaker 6: We know he could separate. He's a great, you know,
Speaker 6: route runner.
Speaker 7: I think, you know, hopefully we can get a better
Speaker 7: version of Deshaun Watson that we had in previous years.
Speaker 6: And I really feel as though, you know, Jerry Judy
Speaker 6: going that late, he's like my wide receiver four at
Speaker 6: this point, so it's like, why not.
Speaker 3: I like those guys.
Speaker 2: A couple other rookies you mentioned some rookies there, Florio
Speaker 2: Ray Davis for your Buffalo Bills. I think it's a
Speaker 2: good opportunity. I like Trey Benson in I like here'sting.
Speaker 2: I like both of the Cardinals backs. I wouldn't draft
Speaker 2: him on the same team necessarily, but I do like them.
Speaker 2: I like James Connor, especially where he's going. We talked
Speaker 2: about him as a zero RB option. I like Trey
Speaker 2: Benson just because James Connor's history says he's going to
Speaker 2: get hurt at some point, and Benson's going to get
Speaker 2: a good opportunity.
Speaker 3: So I like those guys. I'm start saying some of
Speaker 3: the other late round.
Speaker 2: I like end of draft dart throw maybe at like
Speaker 2: a Javon Baker. Yes, yeah, you know, the Patriots offense
Speaker 2: is not going to wow anybody, but man, he's gonna
Speaker 2: have plenty of opportunity to get on the field.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Somebody asked me about Tess Walker in Baltimore. I think
Speaker 2: he could be interesting too there, depending on how things. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's definitely more of a best ball guy, but I
Speaker 2: think Tess Walker has some some really good Chris.
Speaker 6: Allen on a good on a good map there.
Speaker 7: With d rob he's my most exposure of late round
Speaker 7: wide receivers, by.
Speaker 2: The way, well really yeah, I feel like that's one
Speaker 2: of those movies we keep I feel like that's one
Speaker 2: of those movies we keep watching.
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, now that's NBS.
Speaker 6: That's that other movie.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Speaking of speaking of Robinson's getting you know, going somewhere.
Speaker 2: I don't have to say Alan Robinson signed with the Giants.
Speaker 6: Interesting, m They're not they are not serious.
Speaker 2: About winning a rob with the Giants. I mean, look,
Speaker 2: it just it doesn't make you worried about Molik neighbors.
Speaker 2: You know, like there's nobody that that's really gonna.
Speaker 6: Just frustrate war because this man some help.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 4: Late round names.
Speaker 5: By the way, I know q's gonna agree with me,
Speaker 5: and you could call me a homer. Bill's wide receivers
Speaker 5: are going rounds eight, nine, and ten right now, Like
Speaker 5: l Q could tell you how they spread the ball
Speaker 5: out in Joe Brady's system.
Speaker 4: Josh Allen is still the quarterback.
Speaker 5: All three Chiefs receivers are off the board by the
Speaker 5: time the Bill's first.
Speaker 6: Is crazy buying opportunity.
Speaker 7: That is true, because you're getting receiver fours at this
Speaker 7: point too, at that laden draft.
Speaker 2: So I'm assuming uh Domo wants uh. I guess this
Speaker 2: is a trade proposal Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith for
Speaker 2: a projected early first and Jon Robinson.
Speaker 3: I might I might send to go Hurts and Smith.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just because the you know, the projected early first,
Speaker 2: it feels like the Mystery Box, right, like the mystery
Speaker 2: but to be anything it could right like, I know
Speaker 2: you of course I mean, but I also I also
Speaker 2: sort of played Dynasty. I tend to look at it
Speaker 2: more as a year year proposition, right like, because like
Speaker 2: I'm trying to win. I always say, it feels like
Speaker 2: Dynasty managers are preparing for a future that never comes,
Speaker 2: and I want to play it to try and win.
Speaker 2: And so that means I want guys who can produce
Speaker 2: for me now like Bijeon can.
Speaker 3: But a projected early first, you know how early is that? First?
Speaker 3: Who is it going to be? What position?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 3: Is it a position that I that I have a
Speaker 3: weakness at. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I would tend to lean that way. Plus it's not
Speaker 2: like Hurts and Smith are old, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: So is that a first like for this year's rookie
Speaker 5: class or next year's Because if it's next year, I
Speaker 5: want the guys this year. If it was this year's
Speaker 5: one dot A one and that's Bijon and Marvin Harrison Junior,
Speaker 5: then I would take that side. But otherwise I agree
Speaker 5: with you. The Eagles, that's fun.
Speaker 7: Yeah, That's why I lay to because that early first
Speaker 7: this year could be Drakely. I'm just saying like, yeah,
Speaker 7: I'm sticking with Hurts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, last couple of momus before we get out of here.
Speaker 2: I can only keep one Bijon or bres Uh. I
Speaker 2: don't know if you guys have any prefers. I feel like, yes, yes,
Speaker 2: keep one Bijeon or Breeze. I agree, Yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: mean I.
Speaker 6: See more targets.
Speaker 7: So the PPR upside, if that's your format, I'll probably
Speaker 7: go Breeze, I guess.
Speaker 6: But they both have like.
Speaker 7: Mega's rockets thinner, you know, upside based on their focusing offense.
Speaker 5: So they both also have a quarterback, an old quarterback
Speaker 5: coming on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are similar situations.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say, but I would say, you know,
Speaker 2: to Laquant's point, Breese has less target competition just because
Speaker 2: in Atlanta, you know, you've got Pits, You've got Drake London.
Speaker 6: You know those year as well too, he gets involved.
Speaker 3: So yeah, probably Breese.
Speaker 2: But I really don't think there's a wrong answer necessarily
Speaker 2: that one wanted to get to this because this is
Speaker 2: the thing that we all talked about sort of between us.
Speaker 2: Devin Functius is gonna play pro basketball somewhere. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's been out of the NFL for a while, hasn't
Speaker 2: played an NFL game since twenty nineteen, hasn't been in
Speaker 2: a training camp since twenty twenty two. He is playing
Speaker 2: for the Caribbean Storm at Janiros in the Professional Columbia
Speaker 2: Basketball League. They played a twenty eight game season. He's
Speaker 2: got a deal for the entire year. And Austin Rivers
Speaker 2: came out and made a comment that basically, you could
Speaker 2: take thirty NBA players and drop them in the NFL
Speaker 2: and they would be successful, but you couldn't do the
Speaker 2: same with NFL players going to the NBA and NFL
Speaker 2: players sort of rose as one on social media to
Speaker 2: swat down this idea. I mean, Florida, do you have
Speaker 2: a strong feeling is right? If his Rivers right? Is
Speaker 2: he wrong?
Speaker 3: Is he more likely somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 5: Somewhere in the middle, I think that sides are athletic
Speaker 5: enough and skilled enough and discipline enough where if they
Speaker 5: need their primary focus and said I'm going to dedicate
Speaker 5: my life to this sport that they'd be able to
Speaker 5: compete at it. The issue is everything both sides are
Speaker 5: saying as a negative is true, Like NBA players are
Speaker 5: probably too soft to take those hits repeatedly, play after
Speaker 5: play after play and.
Speaker 4: Just beat their body up.
Speaker 5: But football players are too small to make the jump
Speaker 5: into the like we talk about it all the time.
Speaker 5: Justin Jefferson is a big bodied wide receiver by our standards,
Speaker 5: he is smaller than big body Brunson.
Speaker 3: Who is a small.
Speaker 5: So like, I think both sides are are kind of
Speaker 5: speaking truth and they're both just being a little salty.
Speaker 6: To to the other one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I I was thinking of it. If
Speaker 2: there's those videos of like Miles Garrett playing basketball, and
Speaker 2: like he's an absolute monstrous human being, right, six four
Speaker 2: two seventy one.
Speaker 3: He's sixty four though, right, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, you know, like paint though he could bully you
Speaker 2: in the paint, but you know, if he's got to
Speaker 2: come to step outside, has a foot on him. So
Speaker 2: here's like that was the first guy I thought of, right,
Speaker 2: Like a Miles Garrett versus Wimby matchup, because if it's physical, right,
Speaker 2: Garrett probably wins that.
Speaker 3: But if.
Speaker 2: If Wimby decides to step outside, you know, and Garrett's
Speaker 2: got to come out to the perimeter and try to
Speaker 2: guard him. That could get ugly, Like, I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: we see what Garrett would score a point on. That's
Speaker 2: the other thing is could he score on him? I
Speaker 2: mean without just playing straight up even if he played
Speaker 2: bully ball, would with that with that just gonna I mean,
Speaker 2: we're seeing the videos of Wimby just scaring people out
Speaker 2: of the paint on fast breaks anyway, So I don't know.
Speaker 4: On the nerve.
Speaker 2: Susie makes a great point though, NBA players wouldn't be
Speaker 2: able to get past training camp, Like could you imagine
Speaker 2: the load management that James Harden would try to do
Speaker 2: if he had to go to an NFL training camp.
Speaker 4: Like that, I'm gonna come off as a homer. Here
Speaker 4: one one NBA player could do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, like Josh Hart. Give that dude credit man,
Speaker 2: because he is bawling. But he also made he's gonna
Speaker 2: be He's literally gonna be that Jimmy Butler meme of
Speaker 2: him just exhausted, like hanging over the railing.
Speaker 3: That's that's going to be Josh Harp.
Speaker 2: However, the playoffs end for the Knicks, So yeah, so
Speaker 2: there goes. We actually started and ended with the Knicks.
Speaker 2: Uh time as a flat circle, it all comes together.
Speaker 2: Thanks everybody who jumped in the chat. If we couldn't
Speaker 2: get to any of the questions, maybe we'll just go
Speaker 2: in the chat and we'll just answer them ourselves. We can,
Speaker 2: I guess that's not that's an option for right, we
Speaker 2: can do that. But thanks everybody who came in and participated.
