Here 17 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: are your hosts, Jason Smith and Michael Fabiano, happy post 18 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: draft Monday. As everybody's getting ready for their dynasty league draft. 19 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: People want to know who the best players are coming 20 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: out of the draft. Fabs, you and I were hot 21 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: and heavy on this this weekend, very special two hours 22 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: show today to tell you what we thought about what 23 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: we saw over the past few days. And well, honestly, 24 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: because you know it merits it, we should spend all 25 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: two hours talking about Geno Smith and Chris Ivory. I mean, 26 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: the two biggest moves of the draft weeks are none. 27 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: I have no problem talking about Chris Ivory for a 28 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: little bit and Tino Smith for a little bit. But 29 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: if we're talking two hours, our producer Dylan Milner could 30 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 1: come in and join you a while I leave. Well, listen, 31 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: don't be upset just because the Cowboys were drafting fifth 32 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: round players in the third round. Look, Jerry Jones, you're 33 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: gonna go eight and eight this year. You guys are 34 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: gonna be fine. Can we talk about fantasy football, because 35 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: it's a fantasy If the Cowboys are ever gonna make 36 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: the playoffs again with Jerry Jones as the owner and 37 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: GM well Lakes be sick, let's kick it off with 38 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: with the quarterbacks and obviously Gino Smith, E j Manuel, 39 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: Matt Barkley. These are the guys that we saw drafted 40 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: over the weekend within different ways. We saw Matt Barkley 41 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: come in to be part of the puzzle in Philadelphia 42 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: with some upside. Ej Manuel likely will walk in as 43 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: the starter day one. In Buffalo. Geno Smith maybe could 44 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: be as well, depending on what happens with Mark Sanchez. 45 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: But you see these three guys Fabs, Geno Smith, ej Manuel, 46 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: Matt Barkley. If you're talking about a draft for this season, 47 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: which guy has the most value? I would say Gino Smith. 48 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: But that also kill comes with the assumption. Now it 49 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: comes with the assumption that Mark Sanchez has released because 50 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: if you think about it, Smith and Manuel are both 51 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: sort of in the same situation, right They come into 52 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: a team that doesn't have a very good quarterback um, 53 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: but they're not guaranteed the job. It's not like Andrew 54 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: Luck last year, Robert Griffin, the third uh Russell Wilson 55 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: who wasn't guaranteed the job and then came in and 56 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: be out Matt Flynn. I actually like the upside of 57 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: both players. I don't necessarily like them this season. I 58 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: know that breaks your heart. The Jets still don't have 59 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: any legitimate wide receivers outside of Santonio Holmes and who knows, 60 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: and in in Buffalo they have more weapons now. But 61 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 1: everything that I've read and everything that I that I've 62 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: seen is that Manuel is just so raw and not 63 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: ready for the NFL. You know me, any time a 64 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: quarterback has a big arm and can run the football 65 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: in fantasy football, I consider him asleeper, a deep sleeper. 66 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: A few years ago, I told everybody pick up Tim 67 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: Tebow off the waiver wire, even though he had a 68 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: forty five percent completion rate and he was very good, 69 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: he was averaging fantasy points a game. Because as a quarterback, 70 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,119 Speaker 1: if you can run the football, if you can find 71 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: success on the ground with your legs, score touchdowns, you're 72 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: gonna be ultra valuable in fantasy. That's where I'm intrigued 73 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: by a guy like Manuel, and I'm intrigued by a 74 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: guy like Geno Smith. But also keep in mind, have 75 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: we ever ever had a deeper crop of quarterbacks coming 76 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: into a fantasy season before? Maybe in years past when 77 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: it wasn't deep, a Manual or a Smith could sneak 78 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: in and be a two and fantasy, But this year 79 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough now. Well, and first of all, 80 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: the to go full circle on Tibow. Now, anybody can 81 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: pick him up off of waivers, whether fantasy or in 82 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: the National Football League. Do they have Canadian Football Fantasy League? 83 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: I'm sure they do something you would know that you 84 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: do like a thousand league. You never done a Canadian 85 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,799 Speaker 1: Football fantasy league. Listen, the NFL is where my bread 86 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: is buttered. I just wanted. I did an XFL league 87 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: once and I won. Tommy Maddox was my quarter But 88 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: but here, here's the thing with Gino Smith and E. Jmanual, 89 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: and you're putting yourself in the draft room, whether you're 90 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,679 Speaker 1: draft in dynasty league this weekend or moving forward getting 91 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: ready for this for this fall. Nobody wants to miss 92 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: out of the next big thing, what could be the 93 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: next big thing. And we see this new cropper quarterbacks 94 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick's and Russell Wilson's and r G three and 95 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: guys that can make plays all kinds of ways. Nobody 96 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,119 Speaker 1: wants to miss those guys. So I think what's gonna 97 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: happen is unless they like the world on fire in 98 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: in in training ampen during the preseason, they're gonna enters 99 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: as low end twos with upside if if you're gonna 100 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 1: draft Peyton Manning up top or you know, as your 101 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: first quarterback, you're gonna get a very good quarterback. Because 102 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: it's very deep this year, you can you take one 103 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: of these guys as a low end two and hope 104 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: that maybe boy he could become the next Cam Newton 105 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: or become like r G three. Yeah, so I think 106 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna go just because of that curiosity factor. I 107 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: think you'll see them. And I have no problem taking 108 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: one of these guys in my backup because hey, let's 109 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: just say something happens, you can easily get rid assume 110 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: they if they don't assume they're entering the regular season 111 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: as start. If they're not starting, obviously they have no value. 112 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: And I mean you talk about dynasty leagues to obviously 113 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: these two guys are gonna be uh, pretty valuable in 114 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: those dynasty leagues. But again, it's a situation where you've 115 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: got Sanchez there for now. We'll see what happens with 116 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,799 Speaker 1: that by the by the time I finished this sentence, 117 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: and in which case, Geno Smith looks a lot better. 118 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: Kevin Cobb probably the favorite to start right now in Buffalo, 119 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 1: all things being considered, But Kevin Cobb is about as 120 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: durable as a glass chandelier. We all know that the 121 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: last couple of years he hadn't been able to stay 122 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,119 Speaker 1: healthy in Arizona. So to make Manuel is gonna start 123 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: some games this season. I mean there's no well, being 124 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: a first round pick, you can't sit. That's the thing 125 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: about Geno Smith if he comes in, has a little 126 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: bit of trouble. If the Jets hold on to Sanchez. 127 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: Could it be Sanchez early giving way to Geno Smith. Yeah, 128 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: but whether you're a first round pick, you have to play, 129 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: no, no no matter what your first round quarterback. I don't 130 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll play in Week one, but 131 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: he'll play this season. There's no doubt about that. Uh. 132 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: It's either gonna be Kevin Cobb getting injured or Kevin 133 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: Comb being uh just playing bad. Yeah. Now you look, 134 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: now you look at this money that the Bills have 135 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: dulled out, and they spent all the money to keep 136 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: Tavars Jackson and now they been they went out and 137 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: got Kevin Cobbon now a couple of years back. So 138 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: not not so good, but Buffaloes often should be at 139 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: least somewhat improved, whether or not it's Emmanuel or Cobb 140 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: under center, because you know you you you got Robert 141 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: Woods in there again, not a guy that I think 142 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: is going to make an impact in the fantasy this year. 143 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: But there's more talented wide receiver. They've got t J. 144 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: Graham as well, obviously c J. Spiller. So the Bills 145 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: often should be at least a little bit improved compared 146 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: to last season to date XM Fantasy eight eight eight 147 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: X and Fantasy that's eight to eight nine six three 148 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: to six eight two Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano from NFL 149 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: Network NFL Fantasy Live here helping you break down what 150 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: we saw over this weekend in the draft as far 151 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: as quarterbacks go. Gino, we got EJ. Manuel. Now suddenly 152 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: here's Matt Barkley in a mix in Philadelphia, and you think, okay, 153 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: here's Matt Barkley. Added to a group of guys, it's 154 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: Michael Vick and Nick Foles and here's Barkley. But now 155 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: you throw in you know, Chip Kelly very familiar with 156 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: Matt Barkley, like the way he played. Here comes a 157 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: guy with a chip on his shoulder. Matt Barkley says 158 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: he's gonna make everybody feel sorry they didn't draft him. 159 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,239 Speaker 1: What kind of shot do you give Barkley at being 160 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:42,239 Speaker 1: someone who has fantasy value at some point in season, 161 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: Probably about as good of a chance as I have 162 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: at going on date with Kate Upton tomorrow night. And 163 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: you know what, and I feel bad, Well, you have 164 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: to say this. I know you are in mourning right 165 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: now because she was supposed to come to NFL Network 166 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: about a week and a half ago and she couldn't 167 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: come make her appearance. That was that day you came 168 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: in with the with the with the with the new haircut, 169 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: and he had up. I had no shot? Are you 170 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: kidding me? But no, I don't. I mean, what about 171 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: Nick Foles? He's still in the mix there. If Michael 172 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: Vick gets hurt or falters, then is Nick Foles the 173 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: number two? I think he is. I have you know, 174 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: and a lot of people get on me about this, 175 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: but I have a thing about players from certain schools, 176 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: like quarterbacks from USC or any offensive skill position player 177 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: from Notre Tame. I mean, it's it's one of those 178 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: things where there there's just not a good track record 179 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: for success, and Barkley would have probably been what a 180 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 1: top five pick. He he came out last season, he 181 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: drops all the way around four, and I don't see 182 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: much that I like about him in his seasonal league, 183 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: no doubt about that. He won't even be drafted, and 184 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: nor should he. Dynasty league that's a different story because 185 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: remember Vicks on a one year deal, So who knows 186 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: where the Eagles go after this season. But in the 187 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: seasonal league, Matt Barkley waiver wire and we're going Geno Smith. 188 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: I think you and Iron locks up with Gino Smith 189 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: number one, EJ Manual number two, depending on if they 190 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: wind up starting a law. Of course, is a long 191 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: way between now and then, but it's obviously these guys 192 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: are the quarterbacks of the Future's more NFL ready than 193 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: Manual is. Uh, it's close, But I think you're right. 194 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: We we agree to we agree to agree that it 195 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: doesn't happen onf No, it doesn't. Usually we just disagree 196 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: to disagree. So I like. I like the fact that 197 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: I like the fact that, um that the quarterback position 198 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: is so deep this season because like last year, had 199 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 1: so many great rookies come out and play extremely well. 200 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: This year, we kind of know what we're dealing with 201 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 1: and the rookies at quarterback not going to make a 202 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: huge impact. Now at running back, Smith, that's a different story. 203 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: Running running back is different. We were to break down 204 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: the running backs in a couple of minutes, but as 205 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: far as running backs go, you mentioned Chris Ivory. You know, 206 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 1: around this draft we saw a couple of trades. Now, well, 207 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: look we got a lot of it. Look we we 208 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: had the trades to get to as well. We have 209 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. We had a couple of big running back trades. 210 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: We saw Chris Ivory go to the New York Jets. 211 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: Now suddenly it's going to be an Ivory potential. It's 212 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: going to be an Ivory Yes, and he now follows 213 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: you on Twitter, So congratulations. I actually just d M him. 214 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: I want to see if you can come on today. 215 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'll get him or not. He's 216 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: probably busy. But how did he find you on Twitter? 217 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 1: What did he what he said? You know what happened 218 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: was he sent out a tweet yesterday or the day 219 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: before saying that he's trying to figure out what number 220 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: he wants to wear with the Jets. And when I 221 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: saw that, I basically tweeted out Chris Ivory Fantasy breakout 222 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: candidate in two thousand and thirteen. He must have seen 223 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: it and followed me, very good, did you tell what 224 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: number to wear? No? Nine? I don't think you should 225 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: wear that because that reminds me of Adrian Morrell Leon 226 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: Washington to I like twenty four Freeman McNeil. But the 227 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: thing about Ivory in his career with New Orleans, he 228 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: was extremely limited in terms of carries because he was 229 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: fourth at times on the depth chart. And now he's 230 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: the number one guy. And Sean Green, who I'm not 231 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: extremely enamored with, even when he was with the Jets. 232 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: You know that he was eighteenth or in the top 233 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: twenty and fantasy points among running backs last season. And 234 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: Chris Ivory is better. He's a better player. So is 235 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: he gonna lose third downs and and uh passing situations 236 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: to Mike Goodson? I think that's that's definitely gonna happen. 237 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: But can he be the early down bell cow and 238 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: see all the goal line carries for the Jets, No 239 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,719 Speaker 1: doubt about it. I could easily see him rushing for 240 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: yards and eight to ten touchdowns. Yeah, I think he's 241 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: he's he can get you ten fantasy points a week. 242 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: You know, depending on how successful this this Jet's offense is. 243 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: And you know what, people are gonna fall in love 244 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: with him as the season goes on, because in the preseason, 245 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: these power runners, he's gonna play a little bit. People 246 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: are gonna think, look at that yards per carry average. 247 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: And I think by the fifth round of your draft, 248 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: Chris Ivvery's gone. Yeah, I think he's gone by the 249 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: fifth round. I actually have him. I have him ranked 250 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: in my top twenty running backs right now. Um, I 251 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: have him ranked ahead of Ryan Matthews and Ben Jarvis 252 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: greenellis who lost some value with the addition Giovanni Bernard. 253 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: Uh So, you got that smile on your face. You 254 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: love when I talk good about the Jazz because it 255 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: doesn't happen. They don't do that. But I do like Chris. 256 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: I have re quite a bit. Yeah, he's he's someone 257 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: who really has has the most upside of of the 258 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,599 Speaker 1: trades that we've seen of guys in a new situation 259 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: because he's gonna get the football. That's the Jets are 260 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: gonna rely on whatever whoever winds up playing quarterback. They're 261 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: gonna run the football and they're gonna rely on Irey, 262 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: and I think Goodson's gonna have some decent value to 263 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: He's gonna be their home run hitter. Look, last year, 264 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: even when the Jets were going at their best, which 265 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: was when they were splitting up carries between Sean Green 266 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: and Ballal Powell Balwell, Powell still got enough carries to 267 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 1: merit point. Maybe I can start him in a flex 268 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: or something. The same thing could happen with Goodson. Now he's, 269 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: like I said, he's more of a home run or 270 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: he's not gonna get carries on the goal line, which 271 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: Powell got last year. But still he's someone later on 272 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: in the draft still might have a little bit of value. 273 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: We're talking about Jets players with fantasy value fabers. That 274 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: doesn't happen that off. I count two right now, and 275 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: one of them is really, really, really on the edge 276 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: falling off. Jason Smith Michael Fabiano from NFL Fantasy Live 277 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: eight to eight XM Fantasies. We take a look back 278 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: at the last few days, including the draft and trades 279 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,599 Speaker 1: that were made. Another trade that went down fabs that 280 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: this makes everybody who either owns Stephen Ridley in in 281 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 1: a keeper lea out or if you're thinking about drafting him. 282 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: They go out and get lag Garrett Blunt from the 283 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So now here's Ridley, even though he 284 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 1: had a breakthrough season a year ago. With la Garrett 285 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: Blunt looking over his shoulder, Shane Vereen looking over his shoulder, 286 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: even Brandon Bolden looking over his shoulder. All these guys 287 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: want carries. Ridley has a little bit of fumble itis. 288 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: You would think that, okay, if he fumbles, Verene will 289 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: be the guy. But now to bring in another running back, 290 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, my interest level and Stephen Ridley, 291 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: I'm I'm shaking a little bit because as high as 292 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: I wanted to take him, I don't know if I 293 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: can take him that high. Now I'm not as worried 294 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: because I don't even know if Garrett Blunts guaranteed to 295 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: be on the roster, To be quite honest with you, 296 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: because you've got Ridley, they like him, they like Verene. 297 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: Don't forget about Brandon Bolden as well. Uh, they did 298 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: add Leon Washington, So I'm not even sure he's guaranteed 299 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: to make a roster, make the roster to be To 300 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: be quite honest with you, Blunts, a guy who had 301 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: that one good rookie year. He had thirteen starts or 302 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: thirteen games, and he had over a thousand yards and 303 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: people were enamored with him. Well he was. He was 304 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: quick to get the boot out of Tampa Bay when 305 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: Stug Martin came along and had such a great season. 306 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: But I'm not I'm not worried about that yet. If 307 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: training camp comes along and all of a sudden we 308 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: see Lagherett Blunt in more packages than we had expected, 309 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: then maybe, But at this point, I'm not that worried. Uh. 310 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: So you're still but again, you also are dealing with Belatris. 311 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: You remember Belatricks. We have Shanahan against and we have Bellatrick. 312 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: So that is a possibility. Let's see what the roster 313 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: looks like. Uh, you know, once they get into training 314 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: camp and get down to um, get down to the 315 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: late summer months. But right now, I'm not that worried. 316 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: It's not like the Patriots gave up a whole bunch 317 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: to get this guy, and he really did next to 318 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: nothing last year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Speaking of 319 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: the buccaneer, do you think they signed my Bradshaw? Now 320 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: that's a question. Um, Bradshaw's got very few options, and 321 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: he has got no options if he wants to be 322 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: a number one none. So he's someone who played the 323 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: market all wrong. Bradshaw goes to the Bucks. Okay, where 324 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: does that leave Doug Martin. That's another thing we might 325 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: have to talk about here in the next few weeks, 326 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: because if you're looking at teams that need maybe a 327 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: number two back, I would say that that that squad, 328 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers is probably at the top of the list. Alright. 329 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: Eight to eight XM Fantasy also want to hit us 330 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: up on Twitter at Serious x M Fantasy, at Sirius 331 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: XM Fantasy, Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano from NFL Network and 332 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live.

But you said he's he's 346 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: a breakout candidate this year. Just tell him. I'm gonna 347 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: call him a double super breakout candidate this year and 348 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: think that you're you're, you know, kissing button. I don't 349 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: know if you know. No, that's the thing, right, double super. 350 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: We could make that up to you're a double super 351 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: breakout from Christmas story exactly. Hey, Triple Dog, dare you 352 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: to follow Jason Smith? No, thank you. He says, I'm 353 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: gonna put up crazy numbers this year as long as 354 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: I get more than six or seven carries a game, 355 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: which is what he got in New Orleans. How about 356 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: fifteen or twenty? I think that that he's at least 357 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: going to get that. I think you could see fifteen 358 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: eighteen per game from Chris Ivery. I like him, and 359 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: you know we're gonna talk about running backs here. Have 360 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,360 Speaker 1: you seen how much deeper the running back position just 361 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 1: got over this past three or four days. I mean, 362 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: and we're talking about guys who we can lean on 363 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: as either featured backs or pretty damn close to featured 364 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: backs heading into the season. He's still got a few 365 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: committees floating around out there, but for the most part, 366 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: you've got and we're gonna talk about these guys. Chris Ivory, 367 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: who's who's now going to be the guy, the top 368 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: dog there with the New York Jets. You've got Levian 369 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: Bell and Pittsburgh, you've got Monte Ball who I expect 370 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: to be the guy once to the Broncos decided to 371 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: release Willis McGahee, which may or may not happen in 372 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks. Uh, You've got Eddie Lacy now, 373 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: although I think he's gonna be sharing some work with 374 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: Jonathan Franklin. All of a sudden, we've got a lot 375 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: more running backs that we as fantasy owners can lean 376 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: on rather than have to worry about if they're gonna 377 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: lose carries to a number two or another committee back. Well, 378 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: it's funny you say that, because there was a there 379 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: was a time they was about an hour now and 380 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: maybe you know there was more more time than that 381 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: where Eddie Lacey was by far and away the most 382 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: valuable fantasy running back taken in the draft Green Bay. 383 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: Look at this, he's gonna step right in and he's 384 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: got all kinds of talent. I know, he's got the 385 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: toe thing, but he's gonna come right. Look of course 386 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna use They're gonna use him as 387 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: a weapon. And then they went out and drafted Jonathan 388 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: Franklin as well. So now suddenly Eddie Lacy went from hey, 389 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: he's the most well now he's on much right. And 390 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: the thing too that scares me a little bit about 391 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey is uh, first off, as you mentioned, they 392 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: Jonathan Franklin, who I met here at NFL Network. What 393 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: a nice guy, nicest guy, Jonathan Franklin. I'm definitely rooting 394 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: for him. Did you buy a lunch? He didn't, But um, well, 395 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I buy you lunch. More, I buy 396 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: you lunch. And you don't call me a nice guy, 397 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: I call you, I guess. So anyways, um, Eddie Lacy 398 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: was passed up by a lot of teams because he 399 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: had his big toe fused, and uh, he obviously had 400 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: had a subpar Pro day, the hamstring engine red. There's 401 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 1: people float floating around there that are saying that he's 402 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: got kind of a questionable work ethic. And it is 403 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: still the Green Bay Packers, and you know, they do 404 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: wanna have a little bit of a more balanced offense. 405 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: But I mean, you got Aeron Rodgers throwing the football. 406 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 1: It's not like you're gonna go from being, you know, 407 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: a team that that's gonna throw with a ton like 408 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: the Packers have been in the past, to a team, 409 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: you know, like the eighty five Bears, who are gonna 410 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: be running the football with Walter Payton and and and 411 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: leaning on the run offensively. I don't see that happening. 412 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: This is a situation where I had Lacey one, now 413 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: I have him three. I want to see what happens 414 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: over the next several weeks and months into training camp, 415 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: see what kind of workload he's getting, see where he 416 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: is on the depth chart, and sort of go from there. 417 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: This is sort of a touch and go situation, though, 418 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: because I wouldn't be surprised, even though it may not 419 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: be likely that that Franklin could outscore Lacey in terms 420 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: of fantasy points. In so we'll see I you had 421 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: it right though lazy guy drafted everyone fell in love 422 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: with them. They drafted Franklin after that, and you're like, 423 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: and and it's not really an indictment on Lacy, but 424 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 1: but think about the Packers even when when they had 425 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: when it was Ryan Grant and James Starks and they 426 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: had a couple of running backs, they like, they split 427 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 1: carries between them, and it's not like they ran the 428 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: ball a ton to begin with. It's gonna be tough 429 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: for Eddie Lacey and or Franklin to have. Really, if 430 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: this is the way it goes to have either guy 431 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: to say, Okay, he's got fantasy value because they're not 432 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: gonna get the opportunities because they're still gonna throw the 433 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: football that way. If one guy, when when Cedric Benson 434 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: had the job to himself until he got hurt last year, 435 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: he was becoming, okay, you have to have him. He's 436 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: a lowe number two. He's a great flex because he's 437 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: got the job to himself. He's gonna get all the 438 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: gold line carries. He's that was great. But now you 439 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: look at this and it's Lacy and Franklin, you realize, Okay, 440 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: if if if Eddie Lacey carries the ball six times 441 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: a game, and you know Jonathan Franklin carries it three 442 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: or four and catches four passes out of the backfield, 443 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: is either that gonna be enough? Are they ever gonna 444 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: rely on the run enough? I just don't see them. 445 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: And the fact of the matter is, I mean Eddie 446 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: Lacy isn't guaranteed to be the goal line back either. 447 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: I mean, remember you still got Jon Cohen who likes 448 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: to steal those goal line touches as well he carries 449 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 1: a touchdown, We'll see what happens. That is a situation 450 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: to watch. But in terms of opportunities and situation right now, 451 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: I think it's it's Bell who's the number one back 452 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: in fantasy and the number one player in fantasy. Uh. 453 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: In terms of rookies. But if the Broncos cut with 454 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: us mcgahey, and we all know no Sean Marino has 455 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: sort of been injury, pron't even though he was really 456 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: good in the postseason. Uh in two thousand and thirteen, 457 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: Ball is gonna jump up ahead of Bell. You know 458 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: that's the thing. I'm not a big fan of Bell 459 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: because he only has one gear, you know, I he 460 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: could also catch the ball in the backfield, which good 461 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: fit for Haley's offense. He you're right, he's a good fit, 462 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: but I just wish he was I wish he's a 463 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,239 Speaker 1: little more dynamic, because I just don't know how. I 464 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: see Levan Bell and I think, is he gonna be 465 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: like Ron Dane where he's just a little too slow 466 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: to make it in the NFL. But that that's the 467 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: thing that but that Bell also is a really underrated 468 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: pass catcher, and in Haley's offense, that's gonna do nothing 469 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: but help his value. And I mean, there's been reports 470 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 1: that the Steelers maybe we're trying to move John and 471 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: twire and they've got Isaac Redman there. There's not a 472 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: lot of competition there. You know, in Green Bay, Lacy 473 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: is gonna have competition from Franklin. I don't think James 474 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: Starks or Dwan Harris is really competition at this point. 475 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: It's gonna be those two guys, Um and Denver. Again, 476 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: all things being equal, today as we're as we're talking, 477 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: Willis mcgahey is still on the roster, and so is 478 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: no Sean Marino, and of course they also have Ronnie 479 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: him in there. So Um if and when the Broncos 480 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: cut ties with the two veterans, then monte Ball's value 481 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: was going through the room. See, I like I like 482 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: him better than Bell overall because of that, because I 483 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: think he's going to have more of an opportunity in 484 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: front of him, and I like him better as a 485 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: player that See, if the Broncos do make the move 486 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: to two part ways with mcgahey at this point, I 487 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: think you kind to. At this point, you're looking at 488 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: a committee situation. If these guys are all on the roster, 489 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: then I'm a little bit less excited about monte Ball. 490 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: If they go out and they make the move and 491 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 1: they release mcgahey, the party starts and the monte Ball 492 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: bandwagon begins. In fantasy, I'm already there. He's my number 493 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: two guy. He'll be my number one guy if everything 494 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: falls into place. So where are you? Where are you 495 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: draft round wise? Right now? For Bell and Ball? I'm 496 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: thinking fourth round, maybe third round. If monte Ball ends 497 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: up Chris Ivory, that's a tough one. That's a tough one. 498 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: Um Again, right now, Chris Ivrey is better than both. 499 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: Right now, Chris Ivory is better than both of those guys. 500 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: But We're only in April, so we'll see what happens. Ivory, 501 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: I know, is the guy there. Ivy is gonna be 502 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: the Bell Cowet. To me, I think he is going 503 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: to be the centerpiece of the Jets offense because really 504 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,719 Speaker 1: there's not much else to feature in that offense, especially 505 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: if your quarterback is Mark Sanchez. But well it's not 506 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: just still at some point quarterback on the Jets. But 507 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is that right now is 508 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: we're sitting here, Ivory's the better. Ivory's better than every 509 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: rookie uh that was drafted this weekend. In terms of 510 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,719 Speaker 1: fantasy football, if Bell comes the guy, he moves up 511 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: an XM Fantasy, a XM fantasy Jason Smith. Michael Fabiano 512 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: from NFL Network NFL Fantasy Log speaking of running backs, 513 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: Chris and Nebraska has a question, Chris, what do you got? Oh, 514 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: that's just ironic. I literally on the touring the question. 515 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: So I wanted to talk about Lacy and those guys. 516 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: You know that's still Mike McCarthy coaching, and I just 517 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: was gonna I pulled him to that. I wanted to 518 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: point out anythink Monty Ball is the best running back 519 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: to draft ro down. Then you started talking about him 520 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: like that's why I love the show. H Yeah, I'm 521 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: literally thinking that. I'm like these guys, you know, still 522 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: my McCarthy sitting there, You're going, You're going, why is 523 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: Rogers getting hit? Still? Like why are you not running 524 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: the ball? It's gonna be the same thing, and Dwan 525 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: Harris might beat him both still and then you know, 526 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: you got balls just gonna go into situation where he 527 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: literally won't be asked to do anymore than Reno wasn't 528 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: look how good Marino looked in the playoffs. You know, 529 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: it's likely like running backs are just like anything else, 530 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 1: and you gotta you gotta watch for where value actually is. 531 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: And I don't know, it's just good to hear the 532 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: you know, the guys on this show that you know 533 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: what's going on, and to be frustrated, you just you know, 534 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 1: for fun. So appreciate. We appreciate that, and I agree 535 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: with you. I'm just waiting. I'm waiting for the Broncos 536 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: to make a move here and then I will start 537 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: singing the praises of monte Ball as the number one 538 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: player to get from a rookie standpoint. Uh In seasonal leagues. 539 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 1: But right now I've got Levian Bell, but things can change. 540 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: It's a fluid situation. Those are guys with upside. Those 541 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: are guys who you can draft and sorry, I'd expect 542 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 1: him to have a big role. The most frustrating thing 543 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: for fantasy owner is when a player is drafted and 544 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 1: you wind up saying this is gonna wind up being 545 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: a time. Sure, how are the carriage your mom? Am? 546 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: I talking about Michael Fabiano the team that he plays for. 547 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: Where is the safe color shirt as you have on? Right? Yeah, 548 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: that's tough. That's a committee now, it's yeah, I mean, 549 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: and Ben Jarvis green Ellis had a run of it 550 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: was about seven or eight weeks last year where he 551 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: was terrific at the end of the season. Uh, and 552 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: here coming for an So that's gonna hurt the law 553 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: firms value. There's no doubt about that. He didn't score 554 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 1: a lot of touchdowns last year and if you remember, 555 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: guys Bernard Scott went out early with a with an injury. 556 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 1: So it was basically the Ben Jarvis green Ellis show. Um, 557 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: the Pyramian got some burn at the end of the season, 558 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: but it was basically the law firm now you've got 559 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: firm and you've got Giovanni Bernard, and that's a committee. 560 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: I had ben Jarvis Greennellis as a low end too 561 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: going into the draft. Now I have him as more 562 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: as a flex starter. Um I, it's hard to trust 563 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: him when you're going from true featured back to potential 564 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: committee or we should maybe say likely committee. Yeah, especially 565 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: when it's someone who you know is gonna see the field. 566 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: It's when we talk about as good as Chris Ivy 567 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: Goodson's gonna see the field a bit because I'm third down, 568 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: he's fast and get to the outside. The same thing 569 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: here with ben Jarvis greene Ellis, is he gonna play 570 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: on third downs? Now? You know, whereas last year he 571 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: might have gotten the benefits about to play on third downs, 572 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen because Bernard's gonna be in the 573 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: game so automatically he's cutting in by almost a third 574 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: into some of ben Jarvis green ellis Is snaps. And 575 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: that's the worst part for fantasy because you think, Okay, 576 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: here's a guy and there's nothing he can do about it. 577 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,479 Speaker 1: No matter how good he is, he's still gonna come 578 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: off the field on third down. Yeah, exactly. And and 579 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: remember two guys, when when you're looking at running back situations, 580 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: we can only really talk about what's going on right now, 581 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: you know, you know Bernard, Bernard's gonna be in there's 582 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: the number two behind green Ellis It's gonna be Lacy 583 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: versus Franklin. What They also have Harris in there as well. 584 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: Look in a situation like the one say in Arizona, 585 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: or the one say in Dallas. Right for example, Jerry Jones, 586 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: who I don't want to really speak too much about 587 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: because I am not pleased again, but I'm kind of 588 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: used to it by now. They drafted Joseph Randall and 589 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 1: out of Oakloma State de Marco Murray's. As much as 590 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: I love the guy, he's always hurt. And if Murray 591 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: continues to be prone to injuries and doesn't doesn't play 592 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 1: a full sixteen games, well, all of a sudden, this 593 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: kid could be a sleeper, you know what I mean. 594 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: So you've got to look at the situation now, but 595 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 1: also take a look at what is ahead of a player. 596 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: You know, so Murray injury prone, all of a sudden, 597 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: you know, this kid Randall could make an impact in 598 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: fantasy football. Who knows about that situation in Arizona. Listen, 599 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: Richard Mendenhall is the guy right now. I don't think 600 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: there's any question about that. Ryan Williams has missed most 601 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: of his first couple of seasons in the NFL because 602 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: he's been injured. But they also have Andre Ellington now right, 603 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: and they also got the kid Stefan Taylor from so 604 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: men in Hall is on a one year deal. Injury prone, 605 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: I mean Tor up his a C. I don't know 606 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 1: if that makes him injury prone, but he missed a 607 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: lot of last season, and we'll see how much of 608 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: his explosiveness was actually left on the operating table. Ellington 609 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: could end up being a halfway decent sleeper. So these 610 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: are guys that you have to keep on your radar 611 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: among running backs because again, this is a position where 612 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: you see a lot of injuries just because of the 613 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: nature of the position, and you see a lot of 614 00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: fluctuations on depth charts.

But people 662 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: have better things to do with their time than to 663 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: mess around like that. I don't know, appently not, it's 664 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: the same. It's the same nerds that you know have 665 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: people see emails and spam people get a life. Wait 666 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: a minute, our our our producer, a serious producer, Rob 667 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: Tuesday has a has a take on this. You actually 668 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: think this is this could be good news for me? 669 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean, if you think about it, so, 670 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: it would be pretty cool if Keshan Johnson were actually 671 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: following you. But if someone actually created a hacked keisha 672 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: on Johnson account and they thought that you would be 673 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: someone that the real Keishan would follow, I think that's 674 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: pretty cool if you asked me, Ah, you know what, 675 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: I didn't think about it that way. I don't think 676 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: you're reading far enough into this at the surface. Here, 677 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: Hey d Milliners now on Twitter. Oh, I gotta get 678 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: him to follow me by the end of the show. 679 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: He's gotta follow me now. Not Dylan Millner are producer 680 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: d Milliner, the Jets, the defensive back, the best cornerback 681 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: in the You stop talk speaking of fantasy. Sure, you know. 682 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: I thought about this a couple of weeks ago. I 683 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: actually tweeted something and I mentioned Christina Hendricks from Madman, 684 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: who I think is just absolutely Oh my god, she's 685 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: absolutely gorgeous. I've loved her for like years, and I 686 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: gotta tweet back from Christina Hendricks and I was like, 687 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: but it was a fan site, so I guess usually 688 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: using Rob Tuesday's philosophy of hey, someone who is runs 689 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: the fan site for her, I thought it would be 690 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: nice to tweet back to you after you said something 691 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: about her. So I guess that's a positive. So would 692 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: you say that you had like a five second fantasy? 693 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was. I looked at I was like, 694 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: and then for five seconds I was like, I'm married. 695 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: She's married. We could go on a date and I 696 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: could still see Zoe on the weekends and I can 697 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: do that. And then I was like, oh, no, it's 698 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: not her. Jen Brown from ESPN followed me over the weekend. 699 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: Did she there? You go? Is she married? I have 700 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: no idea. Well, we had an earthquake. Did you feel 701 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: the earthquake? There were two earthquakes in the last three 702 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: days out here. It's it's been it's been rough. I didn't. 703 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: I only felt the one that was last night the Marina. 704 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: I didn't feel that right last night, and then Friday 705 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: there was one. Yeah, I two three days is not fun. 706 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: It's nothing, though. I'm an East Coast guy and it 707 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: doesn't even bother me. Now I have become an l 708 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: a person. If it's under sixty degrees, I'm complaining because 709 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: it's too cold, me and Adam Rank both And if 710 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: the earth shakes and it's under like a five, I'm like, 711 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: that's nothing. I look at it this way. It's the 712 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: price weweet Knockwood. It's the price we pay for seventy 713 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: two and sunny every day and incredible weather. If you 714 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: have two moments a year where you're nervous for about 715 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people seconds, yeah, I know, but that 716 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: but that's it. But then, but you're on the East Soides, 717 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,479 Speaker 1: you have to worry about things like that. They had 718 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: an earthquake on the East Coast last year. Yeah, but 719 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: how often does that happen? Still? I mean just saying 720 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: saying I got a question on Twitter here from Arkansas Brett, 721 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: and again you want to hit us up on Twitter 722 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: with your fantasy questions at serious x M fantasy guys, 723 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: what do you think of Tyler Wilson's chances to start 724 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: this year or next for the Raiders? And would he 725 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: be a solid starter and worth picking up either in 726 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: a dynasty league or in a regular league. That's a 727 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: that's a quarterback situation that kind of you know, fell 728 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: by the wayside here because they got Matt Flynn and 729 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: you have Terrell Prior and suddenly, oh we're in draft 730 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: Tyler Wilson here a little later on in the draft. Yah. Yeah, 731 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 1: dynasty league, I mean, certainly there's there's some value there, 732 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: But in the seasonal league, I don't see it. What 733 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: about Matt Flynn's value? Again, the quarterback position is so deep. 734 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: I don't even think he's gonna get drafted in a 735 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: lot of leagues. I really don't look at Look at 736 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks that we have ranked smith around the eighteen 737 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: two twenty two range right now. You're looking at guys 738 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 1: who are pretty good. Otherwise we're not talking about superstars here. 739 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: But for example, I'll check out my rankings here. My 740 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: quarterback is Matt Shaw, who four years ago was a 741 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: low one number one. Two years ago he was er 742 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: Carson Palmer eighteen's Flacco. It's it's gonna be hard for 743 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 1: these guys to break in and be drafted. Flynn's a guy. 744 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: I mean the wide receiving corps there, what do they have? 745 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,439 Speaker 1: They lost Brandon Myers right, they cut Darius Heyward Bay. 746 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: You've got Denarius Moore uh in there, and not a 747 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: whole heck of a lot else to date. XM Fantasy 748 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: A tod six say two Jason Smith, Michael Fabiana from 749 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: NFL Network. We've talked about quarterbacks, We've talked about running backs. 750 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: How about some wide receiver love here? There was one 751 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: guy taken in the first round of the draft, Fabs, 752 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: who everybody is all bananas over because not only is 753 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: he a first round talent, but he goes into a 754 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: situation where he's unquestionably the number one guy, Tavon Austin, 755 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 1: who the Rams trade up to get. There's some other 756 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 1: wide receivers we're gonna get to, but they all went second, third, 757 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: fourth round. Austin Really is that one guy to focus on? 758 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: And it's I think the difference between Austin and the 759 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 1: next guy in the next key wide receiver is like 760 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 1: five miles long. It is, You're right, and Uh, when 761 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: we talk fantasy football, we talk about opportunities combined with talent, 762 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: and Austin's got both of those. Danny Amendels in New England, 763 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: Brandon Gibson's in Miami, You've got Brian Quick, You've got 764 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 1: you've got Chris Gibbins, and you've got Austin. I would say, 765 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: uh that Tavan is gonna be the guy there. They've 766 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: also got Jared Cook, who was an offseason addition at 767 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 1: tight end position. So I really think Tavan and I 768 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: don't know that anyone would disagree with me as a 769 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 1: lock to be the first, if not the only rookie 770 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,760 Speaker 1: wide receiver drafted in attend team league. You can also 771 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 1: talk about Cordell Patterson, and I think de Andre Hopkins 772 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: will probably get drafted too, because he's a cinch to 773 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: start in Houston and he's probably the best number two 774 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: they've had in there alongside and Andre Johnson that I 775 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,760 Speaker 1: can remember. Yeah that, I mean they drafted Via Posey 776 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: a year ago, but he was starring Jane as the 777 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 1: Keyshawn Martin. I mean, these guys are all sort of 778 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: works in progress, So I think Deandrew Hopkins can be drafted. Uh. 779 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 1: Then you've got Robert Woods. But ever got thing about 780 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: USC guys. Yeah, but he's the reason his stock dropped 781 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 1: is by no accounts of his own. His final season 782 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: at USC was was not very good. No, you know 783 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: why because Marquise Lee, who became a superstar opposite him. 784 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 1: It's not that's not really on Robert Woods. I've seen 785 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:17,839 Speaker 1: a lot of him play the last couple of years. 786 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 1: This is a guy that can dominate, can dominate one 787 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 1: on one coverage. He's he's a stud. He fell because 788 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 1: Marquise Lee is just that good. On the other side 789 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: of looking, Dylan Milner are our producer and who watches 790 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 1: tape of USC games in the off season because he's 791 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: a proud USC alum or though maybe not that proud 792 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: considering they haven't won a lot last couple of years. 793 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 1: Robert Woods, and it was Marquise Lee. It was his 794 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: emergence that really made Robert Woods lose some of his 795 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: stats and lose some of his uh status. Uh Bobby Wood, 796 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: by the way, doesn't that sound like a senator's name 797 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: Bobby Woods, but Bob Woods from Florida to the house 798 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 1: retives Bob Woods in South Carolina. But no, it were Yeah, 799 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: markis Lee came on really kind of uh, you know, 800 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: excelled over Robert Woods. But the thing that hurt Robert 801 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: Woods the most was his ankle injury from his freshman 802 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: year into a sophomore year. That was kind of swept 803 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: under the rug a little bit. His freshman year he 804 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 1: came on and it was like Marquise Lee. He could 805 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: do everything, kicks through the house, receiving yards, all this stuff. 806 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 1: Then he had offseason ankle surgery, and so then into 807 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 1: a sophomore year he wasn't quite right, and it's it's 808 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 1: still not quite right. He's not as explosive and as 809 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 1: dynamic as he was his freshman year. Added the fact 810 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: that now he's kind of giving overshadowed from his high 811 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 1: school teammate and now college teammate, Marquise Lee, and you've 812 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: kind of forgotten about Robert Woods. I think he's in 813 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: a good spot, not a lot of pressure being a 814 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 1: second round pick. If they if that ankle gets cleaned 815 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,879 Speaker 1: up and and is healthy, I think he's a great 816 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,839 Speaker 1: addition for Buffalo. Yeah, he's in a good spot. That's 817 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,359 Speaker 1: for sure. To make an impact this year. I don't 818 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,279 Speaker 1: know so much about that, but long term he is 819 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 1: in a good spot. Remember, the Bills are gonna be 820 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: moving Stevie Johnson and slot this year, so you've to 821 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: open its spots on on on the end. So is 822 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: it gonna be Graham and potentially Robert Woods? I mean that, 823 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 1: you know that's clearly a possibility that could happen. Um, 824 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: So you know they also they also drafted good when 825 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,439 Speaker 1: out of Texas to who also be in the mix, 826 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 1: uh in that in that wide receiver battle. So but 827 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 1: to me, it's it's a it's Robert Woods is a 828 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: USC guy. You know me. I have a thing about 829 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 1: USC offensive players who aren't running backs, all Notre Dame players, 830 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,799 Speaker 1: any any players who came out of schools like you know, 831 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 1: Houston or Fresno State or any of these schools that 832 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: throw the ball a million times. You that kind of thing. 833 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: I just I take those guys with a grain of salt. So, uh, 834 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 1: maybe a late round pick for Robert Woods, but I'm 835 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 1: not expecting a whole lot. No, and and outside of 836 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,800 Speaker 1: Tavon Austin. Really, once you get to a twelve team league, 837 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: maybe then you're drafting a couple of these guys to 838 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: fill out the end of your bench. But you're not 839 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: counting on You're not counting on any of them. Uston 840 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 1: might not even start for you. You'll draft them, but 841 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 1: you might not even start.

That's coming up. No, it is not 851 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: more Reice Claret Dylan Milner, our producer, is that is incorrect. 852 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 1: It is someone much better than that.

Did you see they 858 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,240 Speaker 1: were playing Iron Maiden at the draft over the weekend? 859 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: The Harrison and Adam Reich. We're tweeting, Hey, they're playing 860 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,839 Speaker 1: Wasted Years at the draft right now. So I said, well, 861 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: it's it was in amach all the Jets draft picks, 862 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,439 Speaker 1: which is why they should play it all the time. Well, 863 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 1: you know what, the Cowboys not much better, if not 864 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,720 Speaker 1: way worse. Dude, what was going on with the Cowboys? 865 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 1: What happened? Jerry Jones ruining my franchise? Man? God, I 866 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: have fantasy football, all right? Speaking of fantasy Ladanian Tomlinson 867 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 1: retired as a member of the San Diego Chargers last year, 868 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: but he revealed in a new story that the Chargers 869 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,320 Speaker 1: tried to persuade him to make a comeback in he 870 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 1: was gonna be thirty four years old. Said he had 871 00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 1: a conversation with new Charges GM, Tom Talsco and My McCoy. 872 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,800 Speaker 1: They met him at the Combine in February and asked 873 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,319 Speaker 1: him to come back and play. Lt said quote At 874 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,319 Speaker 1: first I thought they weren't really serious, but they kept 875 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 1: talking about it, I realized it was real. They said, 876 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,240 Speaker 1: you can come back and carry it ten or twelve 877 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,840 Speaker 1: times a game. We like to have you here LTC. 878 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: He never considered returning to play because he made the 879 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 1: decision to walk away. He was done with it. His 880 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,319 Speaker 1: mind was in a different place and mentally going back 881 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 1: would have been too hard. Now I position this to you, 882 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,959 Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano, here's a Chargers team if LT would come back, 883 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews, Ronnie Brown, they signed Danny Woodhead. There's your 884 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 1: running backs. LT comes back and carries the ball ten 885 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 1: or twelve times a game. Kind of fantasy value as 886 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 1: he has. Oh man, I would probably draft him late 887 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,319 Speaker 1: just because I love LT. He was actually here over 888 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,240 Speaker 1: the weekend, uh and uh doing some stuff NFL network. 889 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,760 Speaker 1: I didn't mention that to him, but that's that's unreal. 890 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 1: That is such a testament of what they think of 891 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,880 Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews and I spoke about in my Bradshaw a 892 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 1: little bit earlier in the show and said Tampa Bay 893 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,359 Speaker 1: would be a running back needy team. Well, how about 894 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 1: the Chargers. I mean, I know they have Ronnie Brown 895 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: and they have Danny Woodhead, but maybe they can use 896 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 1: in a mod brtch. Ryan Matthews to me, and I 897 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 1: almost feel like I did this to him because I 898 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 1: thought he was gonna be so good. I think we 899 00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 1: all did a time. I might have, but um, I 900 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 1: cursed his career and I cursed Chad Johnson's end of 901 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 1: his career when I got into the Twitter fight with 902 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,720 Speaker 1: him about Revis and Rivis is another thing we should 903 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 1: talk about. But um, right now, the top three rookie 904 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,400 Speaker 1: running backs I would all draft ahead of Ryan Matthews 905 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 1: like he was in my top twenty four. He's teetering 906 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,840 Speaker 1: on being out of that now. Ryan Matthews to me, 907 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 1: is going to be undraftable because I can't see myself 908 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 1: getting to a spot where unless he's on the board 909 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 1: in the thirteenth round when I'm looking for someone who 910 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 1: fell in my betch or I'm gonna say, yes, I'm 911 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 1: gonna believe in Ryan Matthews this year. He's never gonna 912 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 1: get the goal line carries and he doesn't hold on 913 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 1: to the football. It's a new regime there. They're gonna 914 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 1: look for new running back. I think if they went 915 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 1: out and signed on my branch, I agree with you. 916 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,600 Speaker 1: I think that's the best fit for him. You talk 917 00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:01,240 Speaker 1: about a backfield of Bradshaw and Woodhead that's more dangerous 918 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 1: than Ryan Matthews on on every down. The problem is, though, 919 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 1: that they'd basically be getting a guy who's extremely prone 920 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,919 Speaker 1: to injuries replacing a guy who is extremely prone to injuries. Yeah, 921 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,120 Speaker 1: but if you see, if I have to, if there's 922 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 1: two things in my hand and I know the partner, yeah, 923 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:19,799 Speaker 1: if I know if but if I know that Ryan 924 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 1: Matthews is not going to be any good, at least 925 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,320 Speaker 1: I can take a chance that on my Brandshaw is 926 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,400 Speaker 1: gonna be healthy and and be pretty good for me. 927 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,600 Speaker 1: The one running back North Turner didn't turn into a star. 928 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: To d x M Fantasy eight x M Fantasy, the 929 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,840 Speaker 1: fantasy Cantina is coming up next.
