1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio, 3 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, 4 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,479 Speaker 1: and whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show. Now, 5 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: here's your host, Paul. It's Fantasy Football Weekly. I am 6 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: Paul Charchy In. My co host as usual is Brian Johnson. 7 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: Great to be with you, Brian. What is one of 8 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: these days Matt d or Scott Fish. Yeah, Scott's already 9 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: has already called out a future show that he intends 10 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: to be on. We are breaking down all eight divisions 11 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: over the next eight weeks, fantasy style, looking forward, not backwards. 12 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: You already know what happened last year. We're gonna call 13 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: all of the offseason moves and just tell you how 14 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: we project each team's offense performing and specifically who for 15 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: every team, who is the riskiest player at current ADP 16 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: and who is the player with the most upside at 17 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: his current d ADP. We'll do that for every team, 18 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: and Fish has already called out NFC East Sylvia for that. 19 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: Hopefully Matt will be joining us for a future show 20 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: as well. No one wants to call out the a 21 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: f C East. That's what we have right here, but 22 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: it's getting more exciting. The a f C East has 23 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: always been like notoriously almost boring from a fantasy perspective 24 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: over the last ten years. It has because you know, 25 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: the Jets didn't even count, the Dolphins didn't count, can't 26 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: count most years now. Look and even the Patriots outside 27 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: of you know that Randy Moss year was fun back 28 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: in oh seven, pretty was gronk, you know, Okay, but 29 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: like Garrett Blonde had that fifteen touchdown season like three 30 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: years ago, there was always like two guys though it 31 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: was never like the whole offense blew up. Really anyway, 32 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: let's begin with the FC East and the Miami Dolphins. Brian, 33 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: let's sell. Let's get an overview of the season. Head 34 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: coach Brian Flores makes his return and I believe it's 35 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: his third year at least third years head coach. But 36 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: now there are not one, but two new offensive coordinators. 37 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: They have co coordinators Eric uh Studesville, who is the 38 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: running back coach, and George Godzi, who was the tight 39 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: end coach for Miami last year. Will uh tag team 40 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator uh duties for the Dolphins who last year, well, 41 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: it was really a tale of two quarterbacks, right. They 42 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 1: started with Brian Fitzpatrick and then they pivoted to To 43 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: which we weren't too keen on that move at the time, 44 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: and the offense suffered as a result. Really uh. They 45 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: finished the Dolphins in twenty three yards per game with 46 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,399 Speaker 1: nine in points per game. Not awful, uh points per game, 47 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: but really once to it took over. The rookie struggles 48 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 1: were evident with him and that that offense just took 49 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: it kind of went on a downward spiral. But they 50 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: were pretty balanced. They passed the ball percent of the 51 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: time that was uh in the league, so nineteen as 52 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: in you know, fewest pass attempts per game, passing played 53 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: percentage and uh, and they ran the ball forty two 54 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: percent of the time, which ranked fourteenth. So kind of 55 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: a balance offense and kind of what I'm expecting this year. 56 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: Um that the big names that people are drafting on 57 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: Miami starting with the highest ADP Miles Gaskin, will full Order, 58 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: Mike CASSICKI, DeVante Parker, Jalen Waddle, and then then the 59 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: aforementioned to um. Uh yeah, it's I like the receivers. 60 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: I like the receivers as a whole. But pick if 61 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: I said, Brian, tell me right now which receiver is 62 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: going to lead the team in fantasy points. It's hard 63 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: to It's hard to say that authoritatively. Yeah, it definitely is. 64 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: And uh And for that reason, Will Fuller my riskiest 65 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: player on the Dolphins based on ADP. He's right around 66 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: wide receiver thirty three right now, going before guys who 67 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: I think I like a lot more than Will Fuller 68 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: and Deebo Samuel, Jerry Judy, even former teammate Brandon Cooks, 69 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: despite the quarterback situation. I like the volume that Cooks 70 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: is going to see in Houston. Uh, Curtis Samuel, even 71 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: going after Will Fuller, only seventy vacated targets from Miami 72 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: from last year, and the most notable departure is Isaiah Ford, 73 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: which is not notable. So it's a very crowded wide 74 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: receiver room now with Fuller into they drafted Jalen Waddle. 75 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: Davante Parker's still there, very good wide receiver. So you 76 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: have three good receivers and a total unknown a quarterback. 77 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: We both agree to a looked pedestrian last year. Now 78 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 1: Here's what worries me, not will you get better? Hear too, 79 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: almost certainly. But what worries me most Brian is too 80 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: didn't show me the sparks of greatness. You know, I 81 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: I don't need everybody to have the Justin Herbert record 82 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: setting rookie year. But when you are a first round quarterback, 83 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: who um who was he picked five overall? I expect 84 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: sometimes for your passing to splash off the page, even 85 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: in completions. I mean, just things that that make me go, oh, 86 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: there's some special talent in that arm. I just didn't 87 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: see it. And you could take this either way good 88 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: or bad. He to essentially admitted he wasn't ready last year. 89 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: He didn't study up enough and he just the game 90 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: was way too fast for him. That that can be alarming. 91 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: That it also can be, you know, a wake up call. 92 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: So what We'll see how it goes. But when it 93 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: comes to, like you said, pegging the top wide receiver, 94 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: who knows I'm taking the cheapest one, which is Devonte Parker. 95 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: He's going after Jalen Waddle and we even like they 96 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: got Mike Asiki too, who's gonna soak up targets? Lynn 97 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: Bowden Bowden. He's they want to get the ball in 98 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: his hands. So I don't see a ton of volume 99 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: for any of these receivers. So I'm out on Will 100 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,239 Speaker 1: Fuller at wide receiver thirty five winter. And you're buying 101 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: on Davante Parker, Well, he's not the high upside. Okay, 102 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: all right? Who is the highest upside? It's got gasking 103 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: Baby right now. RB getting way under drafted in my opinion, 104 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: Like he's going after James Robinson, Travis E t N. 105 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: I want no part of that. And in the draft 106 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: best ball this year? Uh going after Kareem Hunt? Are 107 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: you able? But even guys going way earlier Josh Jacobs, 108 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: David Montgomery not liking them as much as I like 109 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: Miles Gaskon, who didn't get a toner run last year, 110 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: but when he did he looked really good. And he 111 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: not only can run the ball, he can catch the ball. 112 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: He led all running backs in yards per reception nine 113 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: and a half, and again only had like a hundred 114 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: and forty carries, not even two hundred touches, but forty 115 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: one catches and half the season's work, and and again 116 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: about half the carries of a bell cow running back. 117 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 1: He was fifteen in evaded tackles is good and I 118 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: was holding my breath all throughout the draft, all throughout 119 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: free agency period. He could drink. The one guy in 120 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: the seventh round don't even know his name, not worried 121 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: about him. But Gaskin's got a clear role to starting 122 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: running back duties for the Dolphins, and it or there's 123 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: top fifteen running back potential and Gaskin, So I'm all 124 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: in there. And there aren't many running backs. There's only 125 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: probably ten work course running backs in the NFL and 126 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: maybe not even ten. Uh, Gaskin shapes up to be 127 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: one of them for as long as he's healthy. And 128 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: that contributed to why we didn't see as much of 129 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: Gaskin last year. It would have liked to. We need 130 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: to stay healthy. But that offense figures to be more 131 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: dynamic this year too. It will get better and Gaskins 132 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: should have more opportunity than he had last season. And 133 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you on buying on ad for 134 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: Miles Gaskin. Let's go to the Patriots. Brian Um. What 135 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: a cluster this was last year. You already know that 136 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: Um and the offseason quote improvements that they made, don't 137 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: give me a lot of confidence that this is going 138 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: to be a materially better offense. Now, Cam Newton was 139 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: historically feeble as a passer. Last year's starting fifteen games 140 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: and throwing eight touchdowns, which is turned back the clock 141 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: to nineteen thirties era passing. It was horrible. Um, it 142 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: is unclear who the starting quarterback will be when the 143 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: season opens, but it's not unclear in my mind who 144 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: it will be by the time it ends. It'll be 145 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: Mac Jones. Now, Bill Belichick had to pivot and ended 146 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: up throwing the ball the second fewest times in the 147 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: NFL because Cam Newton was so bad as a passer 148 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: and his receivers were so inept um And I just 149 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: touched on the receiving aspect of the tape, Like I 150 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: cannot get over the fact that the Titans got Julio 151 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: Jones for a second round pick, which it is a 152 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: great a great you for Atlanta, really, but know where 153 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: you're going with this mohammed for a second round pick 154 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: by the Patriots. It's like really one of the worst 155 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: trade anyway. Yeah, So that, knowing that the receivers are 156 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: so bad, the teams splurged on wide receivers, but the 157 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: moves they made I think are absurd. They're tied up 158 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: thirty six million dollars in Nelson Aglar and Kendrick Borne, 159 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: two players whose previous teams didn't even try to keep them. 160 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: And I think from just a fantasy standpoint, Al is 161 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: like a wide receiver four, and Born as like a 162 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: wide receiver five. Dark throw and that's it. And and 163 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: if and if Cam Newton's the starter at the season, 164 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm drafted. I don't know that 165 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: I draft either one at any stage of the draft. No, 166 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: I find someone else would be more interested in than 167 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: probably easily the two best receivers on the team are 168 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: both height ends. Johnny Smith and Hunter Henry both got 169 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: fat contracts totaling eighties seven million dollars for players at 170 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: the same position. Optimists will hope for a return of 171 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: the twenty eleven season of Brady to Gronk and Hernandez, 172 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: when they total twenty two hundred yards and twenty four touchdowns. 173 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: When I looked that up, I'm like, oh my god, 174 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: I'd forgotten now potent that was. That is an insane 175 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: level of tight end productivity. Yeah, um, and it gives 176 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: you some of like a best case scenario. But the 177 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: problem is Mac Jones isn't Tom Brady, and Jonny Smith 178 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: and Hunter Henry aren't Gronk or Hernandez in part because 179 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: they're alive. So those guys are There's gonna be a 180 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: ton of two tight end sets, and the problem for 181 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: fantasy owners is going to be this. I think I 182 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: don't think both guys are gonna get fed like Gronk 183 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,119 Speaker 1: and Hernandez both got fed in that one season in eleven. Instead, 184 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be in any given week, 185 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: one of the two will probably have a good game, 186 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: and good luck guessing which guy is coming. You know 187 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: a lot of times, well, Hunter Henry is already hurt 188 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: by the way. That helps, And you know, I like 189 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,119 Speaker 1: Johnny Smith more. And we'll talk about this a minute. Um. 190 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: Oftentimes on Fantasy Football Weekly, we will identify a good 191 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: tight end matchup, will be like, hey this, you know 192 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: this defense is really struggling in tight ends. They got 193 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: slow linebackers. Whatever the problem is. Now, even if we 194 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: identify a good matchup, it's gonna be very hard to 195 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: tell you this is a john who Smith game versus 196 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: this is a Hunter Henry game. So I think that's 197 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: going to be a an area of real frustration for 198 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: fantasy owners. The running game is convoluted as always, and 199 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: maybe even worse this year than most years. Damian Harris 200 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: was quietly effective last season for the Patriots, the average 201 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: five yards per carry, which I think is probably better 202 00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: than most listeners realize. Optimists would say that Jones will 203 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: keep Cam Newton on the bench, which would mean that 204 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: Harris can get the goal line work that went to 205 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: Newton last year. But the problem then, even if that happens, 206 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: is the team drafted Remandra Stevenson in the fourth round 207 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: and he's a bulldozer. He's built perfectly for goal line work. 208 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: So Damian Harris as a big back who who could 209 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 1: get goal line work, I can't tell you that Romandra 210 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: Stevenson isn't gonna get that. Stevenson seems like he's going 211 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: to be the guy we went into detail on him 212 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. Yeah, I just you know, maybe 213 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: as a rookie he won't get a lot of time. Um, 214 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: but if he does, if he's gonna get time anywhere, 215 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: the goal line could be the spot because he's built 216 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: so well for it. Uh. James White found note takers 217 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: in free agency and ended up returning to the Patriots. 218 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: He was incredibly ineffective last year with Cam Newton. You're 219 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: hope and drafting James White is that Mac Jones will 220 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: throw a bunch of underneath dump off stuff to a safe, 221 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: close target in James White. But again, we don't know 222 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: who's going to start the season at this point. Just 223 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: gross all around, so gross. Lastly, Sony Michelle is a 224 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: cut candidate. I know he's got first round pedigree, but 225 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: there's based on his his running over the past couple 226 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: of seasons, there's a chance he's not even on the roster. Alright. 227 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the riskiest player at his current ADP. 228 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: I think it's Hunter Henry. He's got a seventh round ADP. 229 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: He's tight end eight. I thought you're gonna say, all um, well, um, 230 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: he's going four rounds earlier than John new Smith, who 231 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: the team likes so much better they gave him a 232 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: contract that's fifty percent higher than Hunter Henry's. People have 233 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: this all backwards. John new Smith is the preferred tight 234 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: end of the two. I'm with him. People are drafting 235 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: him in the wrong order and separated by four rounds. 236 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 1: You can get Jonas Smith in the eleventh round Bacon ADP. 237 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: That's a new brainer. The player with the most upside 238 00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: compared to his current ADP really nobody but um take 239 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: Mac Jones basically undrafted, going off the board as quarterback 240 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: thirty eight in round seventeen. He could start as early 241 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 1: as Week one, and he's got a lot of dump 242 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: off targets. As I mentioned James White, Johnna Smith, Hunter, 243 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: Henry Underneath, there's some there's some dump off opportunities for him. 244 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: Super flex leagues, you could go Mac Jones. Was Stevenson 245 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: in consideration for your upside player? He could just he 246 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: might not see the field this year. I don't know. 247 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: I just I you know, it's such a convoluted deep backfield. 248 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: I worry, but I I thought Stevenson looked very good 249 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: in college, and I like I like the upside that 250 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: he brings. Quite content not having any Patriots on roster 251 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: this year or next year. Let's take a break. When 252 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: we come back, let's talk about the Jets and the 253 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Both offenses could be better, even the Bills. 254 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that when we come back. Fantasy Football Weekly. 255 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchia, Brian Johnson with you. 256 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: We're breaking down the four teams of the a f 257 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: C East Fantasy Style with previews of the season. And 258 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: with now we go to the New York Jets, who 259 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: can't be worse last year, they can only get better. Uh, 260 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: new head coach and Robert Sala, the former San Francisco 261 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: forty Niners defensive coordinator, and the new offensive coordinator Mike Lafleur, 262 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: also from San Francisco. Not the offensive coordinator though, or 263 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: he wasn't the offensive coordinator, he was the passing coordinator 264 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: was his official title. He couldn't handle the run and 265 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: complicated today they really limited his scope to passing. But yeah, 266 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: the Jets last year dead last in yards per game 267 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: two and seventy nine points per game fifteen, just absolutely awful. 268 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: For whatever reason, they actually leaned towards the run more 269 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: they were and run played percentage and pass play percentage. 270 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: But it's a whole new era in in York right now, 271 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: New Jersey, I should say, Uh, there's Joe Flacco. Is 272 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco still there? Well, hopefully we won't see Joe Flacco, 273 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: won't see Sam Donald. It's the Zach Wilson Show now. 274 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: And they invested a lot in rookies Elijah Moore at 275 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: wide receiver, running back, Michael Carter. It's it's it's essentially 276 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: a brand new team and uh, but it feels like 277 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: a team even though they ran more last year, it 278 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: feels like they're gonna leaned towards the past more this year, 279 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: investing in Zack Wilson, Elijah More, UH went out and 280 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: signed Corey Davis, Jamison Crowder. I don't know what's gonna 281 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: happen with Crowder. I think there's some good landing spots 282 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: for him if they do decide to try to trade him. 283 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: But when the new offensive coordinator is a former passing 284 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: coordinator had no say in the run run game, something 285 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: tells me, Uh, they're gonna be throwing the ball more. 286 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: And for that reason, I'm my riskiest player based on 287 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: a DP is Michael Carter, who UH rookie running back. 288 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: By the way, that the highest drafted Jet based on 289 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: a DP right now, it kind of makes sense he 290 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: made He'd be the Jed I'd want to have. He 291 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 1: does it at RB thirty seven. Um, he's he's lumped 292 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,959 Speaker 1: in with the David Johnson's, A J Dillon's Damien Harris. 293 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: We just talked about James Conner. Uh, a running back 294 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 1: I like a lot more than all those guys from 295 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: the Bills, who will talk about very shortly. But Carter 296 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 1: looks great, No tis as of right now. From what 297 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: I've heard and the competition, it's not great, but there 298 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: is competition in Tevin Coleman, Ty Johnson, who looked all right. Well, 299 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: Michael Perrine looked all right. Still to me, I'm out 300 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 1: on Carter. The Jets did not run the ball well 301 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: last year. Of course they were riding Frank Gore and 302 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: Adam Gaze. I mean, it's just you're freed of the 303 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: shackles of Adam Gaze. I just think everybody thinks that 304 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 1: even last even the players are coming back from last year, 305 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: will be better, that young offensive line is going to 306 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: be better, and um, and well, I don't and I 307 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: certainly wouldn't want to invest in the passing game with 308 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 1: a new rookie quarterback making his first start. Probably don't 309 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: want to, um, but I'm willing to. I'm willing to 310 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: roll the dice on on a running back who flashed 311 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: last year. That line's gotta get a lot better, though, 312 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: you know we we say it all the time. You 313 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: can love the running back as much as you want, 314 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: but if if the hogs in front of them aren't moving, 315 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: the moving the pile. And last year was a big 316 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: problem for the Jets. Later ranked thirty. Their offensive line 317 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: was overalled by Pro Football Focus. UH. Their running backs 318 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: average just one point one yards per carry before contact. 319 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: Pertempt that in the NFL. Very bad, but they did. Uh. 320 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: The Jets did trade up UH and drafted Elijah Vera 321 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: Tucker with the fourteenth overall pick. So hopefully the line 322 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: in the last year. So I think the line does 323 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 1: get better. I do too, but I'm still I think 324 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: people maybe Michael Carter, I'm not seeing more than a 325 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty, hundred and seventy five carry. I think 326 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 1: he's in the two fifty right. He feels real. Keyshawn 327 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: Vaughny to me right now from last year where people 328 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: were overreacting to Keyshawn Vaughn saying he's gonna be the guy. 329 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: Nobody thought Van was as talented as Carter was. VA 330 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: was going wait first round and rookie drafts this time 331 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, that kills, but anyway we can disagree there, yeah, 332 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: we will. There is upside with Carter, but I want 333 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: to I just want to see what he's got first, 334 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: and just what the whole teams in general. I think 335 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: they're gonna be behind a lot and throwing more than running. 336 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: But anyway, that's my downside guy, the upside guy. We're 337 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: banking on Jamison Crowder leaving town. Right at least I am. 338 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: I feel like at this point, I don't know. I'm 339 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 1: not gonna You can feel free to say that I 340 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: am so as of right now. And while Crowder was 341 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: still a Jet, you can get Elijah more way on 342 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: the cheap. But if Crowder leaves town, Elijah more is 343 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: the wide receiver I want for the Jets, especially considering 344 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: he's going. I don't know why Corey Davis is the 345 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: first wide receiver going off the board by the way, 346 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: white receiver Party nine. It should be Denzel Mims, whose 347 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: wide receiver fifth nine, and then More is down to 348 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: wide receiver sixties seven. But I'll take the cheapest jet basically, 349 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: and uh, I don't blame you for that approach. And 350 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: if I'm gonna invest in the jet, I'm gonna do 351 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: it at the cheapest rate possible. And uh, we've touted 352 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: more over the past couple of months when we were 353 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: analyzing rookies. Loved the dog piss celebration. One of the 354 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: greatest things I've ever seen. But as an actual football player, uh, 355 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: elite level talent. And I know it's a new offense 356 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: with a new head coach and a new offensive coordinator 357 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: slash passing coordinator, but Crowder was the guy last year 358 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: and more just feels like the safest wide receiver and 359 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: based on ADP he's all going. Elijah more Man. The 360 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 1: the O t A reports on him are very positive. 361 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: And uh, again, Crowder's got to leave town. But uh, 362 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: if he does, and I expect he does, so, I'm 363 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: maybe it should just by Crowder, you know, well he 364 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: would he would have been he would have been the 365 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: well yeah, well that's a almost a whole another topic, right, 366 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: But if Crowder stays on the Jets, he would be 367 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 1: my highest upside play easily. Let's pivot to the Buffalo Bills, 368 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: our fourth and final team, as we break down the 369 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: one projections for the nfc A f C East. You 370 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: already know that Josh Allen took a massive step forward 371 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: last year. The Bill's offense is crafted almost entirely around 372 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: his unique abilities, and they are unique. Buffalo average thirty 373 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: points per game double with the Jets just did as 374 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: you mentioned, fifteen per game. Josh Allen would have been 375 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: the most prevalent quarterback on Championship one quarterback rosters last year, 376 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: or even two quarterbacks, just based on where you got him, 377 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: and he took a huge step forward. UM, there's little 378 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: reason to think this year will be any different for 379 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. He will probably be every bit as effective 380 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: and maybe more. Allen through the sixth most passes and 381 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 1: had the second most quarterback rushes, which combined to give 382 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: him the second most plays of all quarterbacks. There's nothing 383 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: like opportunity in fantasy football. More than talent. Your players 384 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: need opportunity. We're going to touch up talk a touch 385 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: touch on this very subject. In a few minutes. Alan 386 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: had so much opportunity touching the ball second most plays 387 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: of all quarterbacks. UM. I'll note that this as well. 388 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,719 Speaker 1: Mitch true Whisky is his backup and I like it. 389 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: I like it when a mobile quarterback has another mobile 390 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: quarterback behind him because you don't have to recraft the offense. 391 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: Nothing needs to change. They can still run most of 392 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: the same plays. It won't be as effective. I'm not 393 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: saying that Mitch Drubisky there he is. That's the extended 394 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 1: version hold on. I am not saying sad Trombone Sky 395 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: is as good as Josh Allen. But I do like 396 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: the notion that they have a high end backup quarterback, 397 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: so that if you do draft a Steffon Diggs, remember 398 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 1: this passing game. Um, you're not. You know, you still 399 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: have some confidence knowing that if anything happens Josh Allen, 400 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: you have plausible quarterbacking with that most generous my life 401 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: from compared to most backups. Mr Beski is pretty good. 402 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: All right. Stepan Dix was the team's work course last year. 403 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: You already know that led the NFL and receptions lead 404 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: in yards. He returns as the alpha receiver and could 405 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: replicate all that success from last year and maybe and 406 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: probably even improve on last year's modest eight touchdowns. Now 407 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: for the rest of the receivers, they lost John Brown, 408 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: they brought in Emmanuel Sanders. Apparently they decided to go 409 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: with Sanders reliability as opposed to Brown speed. But the 410 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: big question mark and the fascinating player out of this 411 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: group to me is Gabriel Davis. We talked about him 412 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: a bit last week. Does he make the big jump 413 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: in productivity in this his second year? Why he might? 414 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: Last year? From weeks twelve to seventeen. Last year, six 415 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,719 Speaker 1: weeks he averaged three catches, fifty four yards and almost 416 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: a touchdown per game. That was good enough to be 417 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: wide receiver thirty in that final third of the season. 418 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: Last year, he did disappear in the playoffs, But and 419 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: I was a rookie, maybe it hit the wall or whatever. 420 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: Um So I like Gabriel Davis to make him move forward. 421 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: And he's being vastly under drafted. I believe we talked 422 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: about it last week. I think he's a great guy 423 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: to target for a second year jump. And I as 424 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: much as as much as as Diggs deserves every one 425 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: of the passes he got last year, I don't think 426 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: they want Stefan Diggs necessarily lead the NFL in targets 427 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: and receptions. I think they would like to even that 428 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: out a little bit in Gabriel Davis would be the 429 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: guy they would do it with no tight end of 430 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: note here, Dawson Knox comes back. They had a Jacob Holister. 431 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: Don't care. Let's go to the running backs. And by 432 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: the way, Gabriel Davis one less touchdowns last how about 433 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: that they just had seven digs at eight So yeah, 434 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: ton of ups ei, there a ton of upside. Uh. 435 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: Zack mosson Devin Singletary simply didn't get enough work to 436 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: be reliable fantasy factors last year. Get this, they averaged 437 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: eight carries and nine carries per game. That's it. But again, 438 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: Zack Moss very slow start to the year, injured, yep, 439 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 1: we'll talk more about him in justice. I need, I 440 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: need to feel good about Zack Moss because I'm gonna 441 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: rise Zack mosson Miles gask into the promised landlist year 442 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: in our Empire League. I need it. That is a 443 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: do the opposite approach that I that I endorse. Singletary 444 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: is a known commodity as in my mind, a barely 445 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: adequate runner with decent hands. And that's all Singletary brings 446 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: to the game. So very blocked yep. Um he does 447 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: not score really ever, So Singletary doesn't help fantasy owners there. 448 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: And I think there's a scenario here. We'll talk about it. 449 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: In a second. As for Moss, he enters his second 450 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: year plenty of room to improve. So let's talk about 451 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: the riskiest player at his current ADP. Stefon Diggs is 452 00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: going off the board at wide receiver three. Now, Diggs 453 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: is great, um, but he's coming off a career year 454 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: in which the team couldn't get any production from any 455 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: running back and there couldn't get any production from any 456 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: receiver except him. I feel like in many ways he's 457 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,360 Speaker 1: just gotten nowhere to go but down in terms of 458 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,719 Speaker 1: total usage for Diggs UM. And as I mentioned, Gabriel 459 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: Davis could improve significantly and siphon off a lot of 460 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 1: work from Diggs. And just why do you receiver three 461 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 1: is just so high? I think he's the riskiest of 462 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: the Bills that you could select. And then uh, Cole 463 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 1: Beasley was significantly dinged for at least a quarter of 464 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: the season at the tail end of the season last year. 465 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 1: And not that we like Emmanuel Sanders really, but he 466 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: is in town and he's there. Basically, even if he's 467 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: just a chain mover, he could siphon off more targets 468 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,719 Speaker 1: than John Brown did. It was never healthy, and so 469 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 1: there there is UM. I just I am by no 470 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,719 Speaker 1: means predicting a bad season for Stefan Diggs, But why 471 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: receiver three is really saying you think he's going to 472 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: do what he did last year was he finished his 473 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: roughly wide receiver five most leagues and get even better 474 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: this year. And you're you're paying. You're paying the premium 475 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: this year, paying the premium. The last year was the 476 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: time to get in on that. You should have bought 477 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: the dip last year. Don't buy that rip this year. 478 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: I'm with you. The player with the most upside compared 479 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 1: to his current ADP is Zack Moss Round nine ADP 480 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: wide receiver forty. He is a year two runner who 481 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: was hamstrung last year by injury, a lack of touches. 482 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 1: Just the eight carries program which I mentioned earlier, and 483 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's remarkable eleven carries from inside the five. Most quarterbacks, 484 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: even the rushing quarterbacks. At some point they start dialing 485 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: that back and if Zack Moss, who is a big 486 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: body back, if he can prove himself effective at the 487 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: goal line early in the season, I could see Josh 488 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: Allen dropping from eleven carries inside the five down to 489 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: six five carries inside the five because Zach Moss can 490 00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: do it, and that's some pounding they could take off 491 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: their quarterback. Alan's a big dude, But those hits you 492 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: don't want. We saw Cam Newton taking those hits early 493 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: on in his career and uh, and eventually they took 494 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: that away from him. They did until Belichick brought it 495 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 1: back last year. Now, Um, the other factor here is 496 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: that single Tarry is just not that good. So there's 497 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 1: a real chance here that Singletary becomes an afterthought in 498 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: this offense, and Zach Moss, if he's good enough, ends 499 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: up getting eight carries a game that could go to 500 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: fifteen carries, sixteen carries, seventeen carries a game, and he 501 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 1: could really be a true lead back and Singletary could 502 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: just be changing a base guy catching three or four 503 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: passes a game, running the ball three or four times 504 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: a game, and the rest of the rush is going 505 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: to Zack Moss. So I believe he's got the most upside. Now, 506 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: you know, we need things to happen for all that 507 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: to come to fruition, including Zack Moss needs to play better. Um, 508 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: but they could work out that way. Yeah, Zack Moss 509 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: is going to be a guy that's always gonna be 510 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: moved over into my queue once we hit like round 511 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: seven eight in any format. Really like, yeah, I got 512 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: even though you already invested in Zack Moss in in 513 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: Dynasty and Empire leagues, you want more Zack Moss. Yeah, 514 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: RB forty right now, Like you said, it feels low easy, 515 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: top twenty four running back potential in that offense. Now, 516 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: I was the leader of the Zack Moss cheerleading squad 517 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: last year and that blew up in my face. But 518 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: you know that. But at ADP forty. You know, last 519 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: year you had to pay a DP twenty five to 520 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: get Zack Moss or ADP thirty to pay his Zac Moss. 521 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: Now you get him at a big discount after a 522 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: disappointing rookie season. He didn't suck. He doesn't suck his football. 523 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: He does right, So there's that. Uh.
