1 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:12,799 Speaker 1: This with your host, JJ ZACHERAJ Zacharison. What's up everyone, 2 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: It's JJ Zacharison, the editor in chief over at number 3 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: fire dot com and this is episode nineteen of the 4 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: Late Round podcast, one of the many shows that are 5 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: part of the number fire podcast network. Thanks for tuning in. 6 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: This is a big week in the fantasy football industry. 7 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: Scott Fish sent out invites to his famous Scott Fish Bowl, 8 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: which this year will have four hundred and twenty analysts 9 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: and one hundred and eighty fans competing in sixty different 10 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: fantasy football leagues. It's an amazing, giant league that brings 11 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: together the industry like almost nothing else, and it allows 12 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 1: fantasy football fans so not the writers, to compete against 13 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: some of their favorite analysts. And the best part is 14 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: that each year Scott improves the league's structure and scoring. 15 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: He's always tinkering with ways to make it better. It's 16 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: a super flex league with all sorts of flex spots, 17 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: but the scoring always makes you think. For instance, this year, 18 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: you're getting no points per reception, but a point per 19 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: first down rushing and receiving. And that brings me to 20 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: the first question of this week's mailbag. Episode. This is 21 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: from at smith b K thoughts on your hashtag SFB 22 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: seven division and strategy for the new scoring settings. So 23 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: regarding the division, all of them are going to be tough. 24 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: You're talking about the best analysts in the game and 25 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: fans who are just as good of players as anyone. 26 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: That's what makes this league so fun. It's super competitive 27 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: and it's super difficult. As for the strategy, I think 28 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: it gave some of this away on the Supply and 29 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 1: Demand podcast that I did last week, But like most years, 30 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for my QB despite it being a 31 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: super flex league because in this league you're starting three 32 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: wide receivers, two running backs, and three additional flex spots. 33 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: As for the first down wrinkle, I think that it 34 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: will or should make us favor running backs a bit 35 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: more as the top and first downs last year were 36 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: running backs and with no PPR, running backs become more 37 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: valuable for those flex spots. 38 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 2: So wouldn't be shocking if. 39 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: I went with a later round quarterback strategy running back 40 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: heavy approach in this draft. We'll see, though My thoughts 41 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: might change as we get close to draft time, which 42 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: is early to mid July. This next question is an 43 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: email from Andy, he says, jj, I've heard you reference 44 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: a boomerang effect for quarterback touchdown rates, using recent outlier 45 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: seasons by Cam Newton and Andy Dalton as examples. I 46 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: understand the concept that after a season either significantly above 47 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: or below the average touchdown rate, there's almost certainly going 48 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: to be regression to the met I could be mistaken, 49 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: but it seems like you've suggested more than that that 50 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: after an outlier season in one direction, it's likely that 51 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: the next season the QB will not just return to 52 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: an average touchdown rate, but will actually have a rate 53 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: on the other side of that average rate, i e. 54 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: The proverbial boomerang. Can you clarify if that's what you 55 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: or the data is suggesting. 56 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: Thanks? Andy. 57 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: So, when I mentioned the boomerang thing, all I really 58 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: mean is that one year a player's touchdown rate will 59 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: be x, the next it will be why, and that 60 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: why is more than likely going to be at the 61 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: players mean within the statistic. I'm just talking about regression. 62 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: With that being said, the reason it may be interpreted 63 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: as me saying this dude is going to blow up 64 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: is because ADP generally reflects the previous season for a 65 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: lot of these players. So let's take Andy Dalton for instance. 66 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: He'll be drafted as a mid QB two. After scoring 67 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: eighteen touchdowns last year through the air, he had a 68 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: three point two percent touchdown rate. Had he finished the 69 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: year with a typical four point six percent touchdown rate, 70 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: which is his career average, he would have had almost 71 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: twenty six touchdowns, which is thirty two more points than 72 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: he actually finished with. Thirty two more points from Andy 73 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: Dalton last year would have resulted in a QB six finish. 74 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton would have been a high end QB one. 75 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: I've probably mentioned over correction, and I mostly say it 76 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: because I'm not shocked by it happening in a game 77 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: with small sample sizes. But basically what I'm saying is 78 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: that regrets resting to a player's mean is a more 79 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: likely scenario than over correcting to get to said mean, 80 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: which is what I think your question is asking. When 81 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: I do talk about the boomerang effect, I just am 82 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: trying to put regression into simple terms for people. It's 83 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: a really, really great question, though, and I'm sorry if 84 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: I didn't explain that thoroughly enough before. This next question 85 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: is from Twitter. It's from at Hello Quinny. I hear 86 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: a lot of talk about efficiency, But how do you 87 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: measure efficiency? Probably not as easy as points per target 88 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: slash touch. So that's part of the problem when talking 89 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: about efficiency. There's no uniform obvious way to define it. 90 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: Generally speaking, though a highly efficient player in one category 91 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: will be highly efficient in another. If a dude, let's say, 92 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: is good in yards per target, then he'll probably be 93 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: okay enough in fantasy points per target or even reception 94 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: at expected points per target, which is what we use 95 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: at number five. But the way I think of efficiency 96 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: at a high level bird's eye view in fantasy football 97 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: is by looking at it in conjunction with volume. High 98 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: efficiency and low volume fantasy football doesn't mean a whole lot. 99 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,799 Speaker 1: That's what you get out of that deep threat roll 100 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: at times with New Orleans what Devrey Henderson was in 101 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: New Orleans back in the day, or what Taylor Gabriel 102 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: was for the Falcons last year. Sure those players will 103 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: have big days because they're uber efficient with their touches, 104 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: but because of their low volume, it's not helping you 105 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: much in fantasy. And then you have low efficiency with 106 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: high volume trel prior last year comes to mind, Frank 107 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: Gore over the last I don't know, five years of 108 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: his career is a not so efficient, high volume running back, 109 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong with that. Frank Gore has still 110 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: been usable in fantasy football because volume drives fantasy football. 111 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: And then you get the unicorns who have high efficiency 112 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: and high volume, the stud running backs, the stud wide receivers, 113 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: and so on. So when we talk about efficiency, we're 114 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: really looking at things in that way. Pryor's actually a 115 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: pretty good example because he's going from being a pretty 116 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: inefficient wide receiver where he had one hundred and forty 117 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: targets and just four touchdowns last year to a team 118 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: where every relevant wide receiver was better likest season in 119 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: terms of fantasy points per target. So even with a 120 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: decrease in volume for prior, an increase in efficiency will 121 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: help him remain super relevant in fantasy football. And if 122 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: he sees the same amount of volume, which I get 123 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: is unlikely, then he could really blow up. So to 124 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: answer your question, there's no single metric that measures efficiency 125 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: for positions. 126 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 2: Across the board. 127 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: The word is thrown around to just describe how these 128 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:28,679 Speaker 1: players are accumulating yards, touchdowns, and in turn Fantasy Points's 129 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: next questions from at Broncos Fan Underscore thirteen. Fantasy leagues 130 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: are one in large part with lucky late round off 131 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: the radar selections. Who are some of those guys any trends. 132 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: So I wanted to answer and talk about this question 133 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: on the show because I kind of disagree with the 134 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: question itself. I'm not saying that you're wrong, Broncos Fan 135 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: Underscore thirteen, but if you're playing fantasy football with the 136 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: idea that you just have to get lucky to. 137 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 2: Win, then you're doing it wrong. 138 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: Luck plays a factor, there's no doubt, but luck also 139 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: plays a factor in a lot of things in life. 140 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: It's probability that we're really working with here, which is 141 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: a completely different thing than luck. The fact is, the 142 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: probability of you hitting on a league winning player in 143 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: the late rounds is very, very thin. Not only does 144 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: it not happen as often as people probably think, but 145 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: you have to be the team that ends up getting 146 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: that player. But let's look at some late round players 147 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: who have really come through for teams over the last 148 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: five or so years. You have Devonte Freeman in twenty fifteen, 149 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: he had an RB thirty eight, ADP preseason No. Shan 150 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: Moreno in twenty thirteen, he was RB fifty three, David 151 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: Johnson in twenty fifteen was RB forty seven, Josh Gordon 152 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen was wide receiver thirty five, and of 153 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: course Odell Beckham in twenty fourteen, who is wide receiver 154 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: sixty seven. Generally speaking, players who blow up are unknown 155 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: entities who have some sort of opportunity. This is why 156 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: I'm totally cool with people drafting Kenny Galladay this year 157 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: his rookie season. Do I know for sure that Galladay 158 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: will be good? 159 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: No, I don't know that at all. 160 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: My model really likes But I know and you know 161 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: that successful draft picks are mostly random. So why pick Galladay? Well, 162 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: there's ambiguity. We don't know what he'll look like on 163 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: an NFL field. My model seems to think that he's good, 164 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: like I said, and he should have some immediate opportunity 165 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: in Detroit's offense and offense that will throw three wide 166 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: receivers on the field all the time. Kenny Galladay is 167 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: the de facto third wide receiver on this Lion's team. 168 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: Those guys, to me, are the kinds of players that 169 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: you want to draft late. And that's another reason why 170 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: I hate handcuffing. I'll be doing a show on this 171 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: next week based on an article I recently wrote on 172 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: Number Fire. But handcuffing is dumb. It's not an upside 173 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: driven strategy. It's a floor driven strategy. And by drafting handcuffs, 174 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: you're missing out on those late round educated guesses, those 175 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 1: dart throws late, which you're throwing those darts at guys 176 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: who you think could be good based on very, very 177 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: slim evidence. Because after all, those guys are being drafted 178 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: late for a reason. They're not supposed to be good. 179 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: But if there's one, one small sliver of hope, then 180 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,239 Speaker 1: get them. And by drafting a handcuff, you're not capturing 181 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: that upside. So sure, you can call those late round 182 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: picks lucky, but there's still a thought process to allow 183 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: those players to even be drafted in the first place, 184 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: and it has to do with ambiguity and opportunity. This 185 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: next one was an email from Evan. He says, JJ, 186 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: can you rank Amari Cooper, Doug Baldwin, and Dez Bryant 187 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: this year for redraft? I keep getting stuck deciding between 188 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: them and my mock drafts. Thanks, Evan. I'll be the 189 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: first to admit that I hate questions like this because 190 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: of my thoughts on rankings and variants in fantasy football. 191 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: But with that being said, it's actually a really good question, Evan. 192 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: If you're sitting there having to take one of these players, 193 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: it's not an easy choice at all. I can tell 194 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: you that my initial projections actually say that Doug. 195 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: Baldwin is the pick. Baldwin according to my model. 196 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: Again this isn't number Fire's algorithm and it's not affiliated 197 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: with number fire at all, but Doug Baldwin, according to 198 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: my model, is wide receiver nine, Amari Cooper is wide receiver, 199 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: and des is wide receiver twelve. With that being said, 200 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: the difference between Baldwin de Deaz is twelve PPR points, 201 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: which is nothing. I think that this depends on what 202 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: you want out of that pick. Amari Cooper, to me, 203 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: is the play for the highest ceiling. I've talked about 204 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: it before on this podcast, but we know the reason 205 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: that Amari Cooper hasn't ascended into the elite tier of 206 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: Fantasy football wideouts, and it's because of his red zone 207 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: volume and potentially his red zone ability. 208 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 2: Cooper finished fourteenth in. 209 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: PPR scoring last year at wide receiver despite having zero 210 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: red zone touchdowns. The next player on the list of 211 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: wide out rankings who had zero red zone touchdowns was 212 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: Ted Gin, who ranked. 213 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 2: Wide receiver forty nine. 214 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: Every other wide receiver between Amari Cooper and Ted Gin 215 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: had at least one red zone touchdown. 216 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 2: In other words, Cooper did a lot. 217 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: Of good things despite the fact that he didn't find 218 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: the end zone in those high leverage situations. Part of 219 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: the reason he didn't score, like I said, was volume, 220 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: is he had just thirteen targets in the red zone 221 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: while teammate Michael Crabtree had twenty two. But as I 222 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: said before in the podcast, maybe m Murray Cooper is 223 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 1: just a Julio Jones type. Remember Julio Jones doesn't get 224 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: a lot of red zone love either. But here's the upside. 225 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: Cooper is still just twenty two years old. He's turning 226 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: twenty three in a couple of weeks. There's plenty of 227 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 1: reason to believe that he can turn the corner and 228 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: become a more complete wide receiver. And the other point 229 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: to all this is that he saw just one fewer 230 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 1: target than Crabtree from within the opponent's ten yard line. 231 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: But Crabtree scored four touchdowns on those targets. Cooper, of course, 232 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: didn't score any and regression should hit for him too. 233 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: He didn't see a lot of volume, but it's crazy 234 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: that he wasn't able to score in the red zone 235 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: last year. And to people who think that Marshawn Lynch 236 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: is going to change this dramatically, I don't see that happening. 237 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: Latavius Murray last year, despite playing only fourteen games, was 238 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: sixth in attempts within the opponent's five yard line, seventh 239 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: within the opponent's ten, and seventh in red zone attempts. 240 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 1: Latavius Murray was getting touches last year. I don't think 241 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: that Marshawn Lynch is all of a sudden going to 242 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: be the number one guy in red zone attempts. And 243 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: then with Den and Doug Baldwin, they really are similar 244 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: players output wise, despite the fact that they're two completely 245 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: different wide receivers. And Dez really soared down the stretch 246 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: last year with Dak, but Baldwin's a safer play in 247 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: terms of end of year production. But I'll say this 248 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: about Doug Baldwin, he isn't nearly as consistent as some 249 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: folks might think. He had only six top twenty four 250 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: performances last year in PPR leagues, despite finishing as a 251 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: top wide out where guys like terrelle pryor Toshaun Jackson, 252 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, they all had more top twenty four wide 253 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: receiver one wide receiver two performances than Doug Baldwin did 254 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: last year. The reason Doug Baldwin finished where he did 255 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: was because he had five top ten performances, which really 256 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,839 Speaker 1: helped booie his overall production. So I think given how 257 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: Dez did down the stretch, I'd probably put him above Baldwin. 258 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 1: And if you want upside, Cooper is your dude. This 259 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: next one is from Twitter at Rush Sweeney. Who do 260 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: you see as value picks in the fifth and sixth 261 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: round based on their ADP Late round podcast is great? 262 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 2: Keep it up. Appreciate that. I'll do my best to 263 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 2: keep it up. 264 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: Questions like these are tough right now though, because ADP 265 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: data is just literally all over the place. It's like 266 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: me watching a playoff hockey game in my living room. 267 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: I'm just pacing. I can't sit down. My wife doesn't 268 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 1: know what I'm doing. I'm all over the place. That's 269 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: what ADP data is like in late May early June. 270 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: But I'll use fantasyadhd dot COM's MFL ten data to 271 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: talk about these fifth and sixth round choices. A couple 272 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: of guys do stand out. The first one is Time Montgomery. 273 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: We can say that the Packers added running backs in 274 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: the draft, which they did in Jamal Williams and Aaron Jones, 275 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: but Time Montgomery could still easily see thirty five forty 276 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 1: percent of the team's rushing share, which would bring him 277 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: to a solid one hundred and fifty or so carries 278 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: on the ground, and then we know he'll especially be 279 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: used through the air. He averaged well over four targets 280 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: per game when he was a starter last year, and 281 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: with a potential double digit market share there, he could 282 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: be a nice PPR back for you. Add in the 283 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: fact that he's in an Aaron Rodgers lot offense, and 284 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: you've got a good situation for Timeline, especially if those 285 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: other backs just don't pan out. I mean, they were 286 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: both later round selections. So I like Time Montgomery. I 287 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: think he has a lot of upside. I also don't 288 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: mind Jamison Crowder in the fifth. You know, I've been 289 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: very very open about my Terrell prior love, but Crowder's 290 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 1: a virtual lock for one hundred to one hundred and 291 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: ten targets and has even more upside if something were 292 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: to happen to Jordan Reed, who plays in that same 293 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: area of the field. Jordan Reed, guys is one concussion 294 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: away potentially from having serious serious issues. Crowder is in 295 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: line for touchdown regression, but the positives are there, especially 296 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: if Josh Dockson can't be a thing for Washington this year, 297 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: because that'll lead to more volume. So I like Jamison Crowder. 298 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: I think he's a solid pick. I also like Bollal 299 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: Pale as a late sixth rounder strictly from a volume standpoint. 300 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: I hate associating my running backs with bad offenses, and yes, 301 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: the Jets offense is going to be hashtag very bad 302 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: this year, but Pale is at the very least the 303 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: third down back in that awful offense with very few 304 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: effective receiving targets, and I'd expect Pale to see a 305 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: larger rushing mark could share in that backfield than he 306 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: did last year. As Matt Forte continues to age, and 307 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: Matt Forte was very very ineffective down the stretch. So 308 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: on a team that should have a negative game scripts 309 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: often Pow can realistically and easily reach fifty receptions. He's 310 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: had forty seven and fifty eight the last two years, respectively. 311 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: But again, he's got real opportunity to see more than 312 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: his previous career high of one hundred and seventy six 313 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: rush attempts. Matt Forte is old, he really hit a 314 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: wall and despite the touchdown upside, Powell should at least 315 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: give you a decent enough floor each week in PPR formats. 316 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: So those are the three that stood out to me 317 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: time Montgomery, Jamison, Crowder, Blaal Powell, and I think you 318 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: could throw marteve As Brian in there too. This next 319 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: one is from at Rich Luchin. Your comments about the 320 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: Panthers O changing with draft. Does this help or hurt Cam? 321 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: Would you rather have Rivers or Cam as your quarterback 322 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: this year? 323 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 2: Thanks? 324 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: What's going to help or hurt Cam in the end 325 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: is his rushing Cam henb can cush it back in 326 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: Week four against Atlanta last year, through the first three weeks, 327 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: he had ranked tenth first and nineteenth in quarterback scoring, 328 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: while running the ball eleven six and seven times. He 329 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: had two rushing touchdowns in his first three games. Cam 330 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: averaged five point eight rushing attempts per game from there 331 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: on out, down from the eight that he saw per 332 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: game over the first three games, and he totaled eight 333 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: rushing attempts from his opponent's five yard line last year. 334 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: In twenty fifteen, that number was twelve, which is significantly higher. 335 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: Cam only had ninety rushing attempts last year, which is 336 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: easily a career low for him. I just don't think 337 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: that that's a coincidence. He got crushed at the goal 338 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: line against Atlanta, and the coaching staff knows that they 339 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: can't have Cam Newton getting concussed if they want to 340 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: go the distance. And if you look at what they 341 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: added in the draft, they added players who can really 342 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: really help around the line of scrimmage. Curtis Samuel played 343 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: running back in college, and while he can potentially stretch 344 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: the field with his four to three speed, we know 345 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: that he can be a yards after the catch guy. 346 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: And Christian McCaffrey obviously is a versatile back that can 347 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 1: sort of replace some of those highly effective quarterback runs 348 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: designed for Cam. The main reason Cam regressed last year 349 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: is because what he did in twenty fifteen just was 350 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: not sustainable. And I do think this new offense is 351 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: a smarter direction for the Panthers to go in because 352 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: it could potentially be more new age and current, giving 353 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: Cam higher percentage throws while limiting his rushing and allowing 354 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: him to morph into more of a traditional pocket passer. 355 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: But that also means the potential for less fantasy scoring 356 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: because he's not going to have potentially again as much rushing. 357 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: And the other point to make here too is that 358 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: he's going to be out for a good chunk of 359 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: the offseason, so learning all of this could be very 360 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: difficult as well. With that being said, I would still 361 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: probably take Cam Newton over Rivers just because of the upside. 362 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: Rivers really wasn't that good last year. Granted I get 363 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: it he didn't have Keenan Allen, but he wasn't that 364 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: good last year. I love the Chargers. I think the 365 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: Chargers are going to be the surprise team this year. 366 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: They're a sneaky great team. But Rivers finished in the 367 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 1: top twelve weekly scoring a grand total of three times 368 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: last year. He had as many top twenty four performances 369 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: as Matt Ryan, which was the most in the league, 370 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: and he had the eighth most top eighteen performances, but 371 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: he was twenty fourth and top twelve performances because he 372 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: lived in that high end QB two land all year long, 373 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: every week. He was not giving you upside. He was 374 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: just giving you high end QB two performances. I want 375 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: upside in my quarterback, So give me Cam Newton, because 376 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: who knows, maybe the offense doesn't drastically change, and maybe 377 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: they run him like they've run him throughout his career. 378 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: At least there's some semblance of upside there, and I 379 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: don't see that same type of upside and a guy 380 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: like Philip Rivers. The next question is from a dude 381 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: who clearly does not like this year's running back class. 382 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: He's at Jason Spara two, and he asked, are people 383 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: going too crazy about a mediocre rookie running back crop? 384 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: Aren't these early ADP rankings a bit out of control? 385 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 1: I asked him to elaborate if he was talking about McCaffrey, cook, 386 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: Mixing and Fournette, to which he said that he was 387 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 1: also referring to Samaj p Ryin, Marlon Mack, Kareem Hunt, 388 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, all of those guys as well, and then 389 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: he said, most of these guys will do next to nothing. 390 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 1: Like I said, Jason doesn't seem to like this running 391 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: back class. I think this sort of plays into what 392 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: I talked about over and over again prior to the draft, 393 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: and it's that these situations aren't incredibly clear cut. Literally 394 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: with any of these running backs, there's someone else in 395 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: the backfield with them taking looks away. 396 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 2: But that's just how it is in today's NFL. 397 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: Meaning the reason we're seeing high rookie ADP numbers is 398 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: because of supply and demand. The demand of running backs 399 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: is great, it hasn't changed. You're still starting two or 400 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: three running backs in your fantasy league, but the supply 401 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 1: is limited. And when that's the case, that raises the 402 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: cost in obtaining them. 403 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 2: But you have to tell yourself a story with a 404 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 2: lot of these guys. 405 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,719 Speaker 1: I like Kareem Hunt because Spencer Ware saw a lot 406 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: of volume for the first time ever last year, and 407 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 1: he wasn't as effective than when he was a more 408 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: of a compliment in that backfield. Samaj p Ryan doesn't 409 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: really have that much competition. I could see him stepping 410 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: in and being very fantasy relevant this year. Joe Mixon 411 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: is going up against an ineffective and seemingly unmotivated Jeremy 412 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: Hill and a guy coming off an ACL tear, and Jioe. 413 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: Bernard Dalvin Cook has to just beat out a guy 414 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: in Latavio's Murray. So are these stories with these running backs? 415 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: And you can tell these stories to yourself in order 416 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: to draft these running backs. It's not that hard to 417 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: envision Joe Mixon being a super fantasy. 418 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 2: Relevant back this year. 419 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: And there are just so few really really good running 420 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 1: backs in fantasy football right now that it's forcing us 421 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 1: all to perhaps reach half around or maybe a full 422 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: round to get these players. I don't think that's really wrong. 423 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: I really don't. This is supply and demand. This is 424 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: just what happens in fantasy football. This is just the 425 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: way that it is. This last one is from Kevin Banks, 426 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: who's from Atlanta. He says, too long for Twitter. I'm 427 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: commissioner of a ten team keeper auction league standard ESPN 428 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: lineups and scoring. It's gotten stale. Any suggestions on new 429 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: wrinkles to spice things up? I want to do something, 430 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: but don't want to scare off any of the teams 431 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: by being too crazy. Here are things being considered fractional 432 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: points to prevent ties, add a wide receiver slot, so 433 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: you must start three, go to PPR or half PPR. 434 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: But he's open to any great ideas. Thanks, So I 435 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: think you can go in two directions here. You can 436 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: incentivize with prizes, or you can incentivize in the opposite 437 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: way and just destroy the person who gets last place, 438 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: like have them take the SATs after a night of drinking, 439 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: or force them to have to root for the rams 440 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: for an entire season or something. But realistically, of the 441 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: things that you mentioned, you need to most definitely go 442 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: to fractional scoring. Not having fractional scoring is like opting 443 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: to watch a DVD when you have Netflix. Like, dude, 444 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: it's twenty seventeen, we have self driving cars and your 445 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 1: league doesn't have fractional scoring. Come on, you're better than this. 446 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: I also don't think that it can hurt to have 447 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: more flex spots, or maybe even a super flex spot 448 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: to really make things different and unique and make these owners. 449 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 2: Think a little bit more. 450 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: But the bottom line is that a good league starts 451 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 1: and ends with the owners themselves. They need to be 452 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: into it and that'll change everything. 453 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 2: That'll do it. 454 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: For the questions this week, guys, if you have any 455 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: questions that you want to ask for next week's mail bag, 456 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: feel free to hit me up on Twitter at Late 457 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: Round QB or email me at jjat number fire dot com. 458 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: And as always, remember to subscribe to the show by 459 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: searching for the Late Round podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, SoundCloud, 460 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: and Google Play.
