0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:33.239
<v Speaker 1>it has been a little while since you've been on

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:34.839
<v Speaker 1>the show. I think we had a couple of fishes.

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I think we had a mad in there. Yeah, so

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 1>breaking down like actual football games, I believe. Yeah, pulling

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:44.560
<v Speaker 1>for the Jaguars to win team close to Super Bowl.

0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Ball back that last show you mean, yeah, yeah, the

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 1>show I was a while ago that it was like

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.959
<v Speaker 1>a long time ago. It was. You're also a long

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>time ago Chop podcast. Yea for the Guilloteam League, So

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>we should we should fire up one of those maybe

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>next week, talk about some of the things that are

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 1>are lessons learned. Um, it will be a drafting season

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>pretty soon. I mean it already is, really, but for

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Guilloteen leagues, specifically. Yes, Yeah, for some people, they're already

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>getting their best ball teams going for next year. Oh

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 1>you're talking to one. Yeah, I know, I know. I

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.959
<v Speaker 1>mean I love that about you. That's fantastic. It is

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 1>fascinating just to watch the ebbs and flows of ADPs. Yeah,

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's got to be radically changing now. Oh yeah,

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.839
<v Speaker 1>I've seen it already. Some players. I mean, I could

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>talk for over an hour right now to just give

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>me one name. Where is Bejean Robinson's going to be

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 1>the first player taking a rookie and Dynasty drafts. No,

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>he's he's going. Where is he going in you know, redraft?

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:45.319
<v Speaker 1>Anywhere from tenth to like so late first to mid second,

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>not getting past or pick fifteen sixteen. That's about as

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>late as your seat him go. And obviously we don't

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>even know where he's playing as it right now, but

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>he's he's RB four basically. I don't know that I

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>was on any shows with you in which we've talked

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 1>about this, but I've talked about it a couple of

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>times throughout January and into February. I think there's a

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 1>decent chance he ends up in Cincinnati or Kansas City

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 1>and becomes just a dynaball, just a block buzz because

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I think seams are so hesitant to draft or running back,

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 1>understandably so for reasons. Everybody that's listening to this understands

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.920
<v Speaker 1>in the first round that he could easily fall to

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>the bottom of the first round and then one of

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>these elite off he just walks into an elite offense

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>at the bottom of the first round. An intriguing option

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I've heard and it makes sense is the Giants they

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>just reboot s Quon Barkley. Basically, Barkley, pay Barkley. They're

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 1>probably not gonna pay Barkley now what he wants, which

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>sadly is him a lot when it comes to running.

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Bit but you're you're a little kid growing about there,

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 1>great football player. Don't play running back, be a punter,

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>play cornerback like any the other skilled position than running

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>back if you want to get paid, because you gotta

0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.239
<v Speaker 1>work hard for that money. Man, it's the second contract.

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Here's the and you understand the team's position. How many

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 1>running backs get a second contract and the team's glad

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 1>they did it, and you know, almost never. It just

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 1>goes to show how bad that pick was for the Giants.

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Back then there were no position to spend the fourth

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 1>overall pick well on a running back. Now, he was

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>like the last thing. That's like the last piece you

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>go for, right almost in fantasy football and reality football

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>is you go big at running back once you got

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.239
<v Speaker 1>everything else in place, all right, But in fairness, Barkley

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.359
<v Speaker 1>won Rookie of the Year, and he was his rookie year.

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>He was awesome, he was so good, and then just

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 1>the injuries derailed him. And now you know, you just

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 1>you feel like you can't the Giants can't give him

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.080
<v Speaker 1>a second running back. But yeah, but I mean now

0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>when there they've sort of have a team in place,

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>they can't afford to pay him essentially, so but again, bijon, Yeah,

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 1>the hype is real already. But yeah, if he lands

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 1>on one of those soft places, like you said, soft

0:03:56.240 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>as in good like yeah, Kansas City piece Miami, am well,

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Miami lost their first round pick, so not Otherwise that

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 1>would have been an ideal spot for him. We've been

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty three, could be a Minnesota Viking perhaps, and maybe

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>that'd be a pretty good landing spot for him too, really,

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, it's ever since Barkley he's the flashiest rookie

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 1>we've seen going into since Barkley. I totally agree. We're

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about rushing in this podcast, but we're

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>talking about quarterback rushing. Yeah, as has become apparent for

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>those that are a little slower on the pick up here,

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 1>rushing quarterbacks are a freaking cheat code. When you can

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>get a quarterback who can run and pass, it unlocks

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:46.599
<v Speaker 1>some crazy upside and an extremely safe floor in any

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 1>given week. Because if you've got a quarterback who can

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 1>run and pass, odds are one or the other is

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.040
<v Speaker 1>going to come through for you in any given game,

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:59.280
<v Speaker 1>if not both. So what I've wanted, what I wanted

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 1>to do today, Ryan is drilled down on the necessity

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:12.280
<v Speaker 1>to draft a rushing quarterback, a mobile quarterback. Is it imperative?

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Do you need to, as we like to say on

0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 1>this show, reach around to take a mobile quarterback and

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.039
<v Speaker 1>make sure you get your guy. And we've ground up

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of data and they aren't. They are in

0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.600
<v Speaker 1>demand right now. We were talking ADP and we'll get

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>there again, but yeah, they want to talk to you

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>about that. I think we'll get pickamp on this. Finally,

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.479
<v Speaker 1>very bullish on the mobile quarter quarterbacks, Yes, I bet

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>they are so. And we'll talk about this from the

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 1>standpoint of one quarterback, two quarterback in super Flex, especially

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:45.039
<v Speaker 1>at the end. I want to talk to you. I

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.679
<v Speaker 1>want to cover those different formats. Although it becomes pretty

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:51.799
<v Speaker 1>apparent like two quarterback, everybody's running to get a quarterback. Anyway,

0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 1>one quarterback you have a lot more options. But we'll

0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:55.800
<v Speaker 1>talk about that in a second. First, I want to

0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 1>break down who is what we're going to call it,

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>a very mobile quarterback, who is an occasionally mobile quarterback,

0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 1>and then who's an immobile quarterback. So let's start here

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.479
<v Speaker 1>the very mobile quarterbacks. These are guys who average over

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>forty rushing yards per game. Okay, and the data set

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 1>for this has been I used the last two years

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.279
<v Speaker 1>for all of my data, and I always love equating

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.360
<v Speaker 1>forty rushing yards. When it comes from a quarterback, it's

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 1>an extra passing touch it is right, it's a it's

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 1>a free passing touchdown in every in every every game.

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Justin Fields last year was over forty Josh Allen both

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 1>of the last two years, Daniel Jones last year in

0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>a competent offense, and Jalen Hurts both years. Those are

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 1>your fields, Alan Jones hurts, those are your very mobile quarterbacks.

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's safe to say Lamar Jackson would

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>have been on that list if healthy. Yeah, he kind

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 1>of up the last few years, so we should lump

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.800
<v Speaker 1>him into that category, I would think, and Trey Lance

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:05.840
<v Speaker 1>people were envisioning him. Right, we'll hold off. So I'm

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 1>glad you brought this up. So let me say that

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.880
<v Speaker 1>all the data you're going to hear, I took out

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 1>anybody who didn't start at least eight games in a

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 1>season because Brian I just I was trying to weed

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 1>out backups, bad starters, because I didn't want them polluting

0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:23.840
<v Speaker 1>the data. I didn't want to pollute the data with

0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of guys who were like two start quarterbacks,

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>three start quarterbacks, four start quarterbacks. And really the only

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 1>guy who kind of got who got sort of nuked

0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 1>out of all of this was Lamar Jackson. But still

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that, you know, there's so many other quarterbacks

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 1>you were to talk about. I don't think this really

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 1>disrupts the data a lot. Now, you're occasionally mobile quarterbacks

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.400
<v Speaker 1>are quarterbacks who run for on average twenty to forty

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>rushing yards per game. They are Kyler Murray Justin Fields

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 1>last year, Marcus Mariota this year, Daniel Jones last year,

0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and Patrick Mahomes both of the last two years, and

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 1>then Geno Smith last year quietly chipping in over twenty

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 1>rushing yards per game. And then everybody else is categorized

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>as an am mobile quarterback less than twenty rushing yards

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>per game, and we'll talk about how many points you

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 1>got for these guys. Want one guy and he wouldn't

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 1>meet your criteria because he didn't play enough games. But

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:26.680
<v Speaker 1>going into this season, I think DeShawn Watson falls into that. Yeah,

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize he would have. He would have if

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.320
<v Speaker 1>you extrapolated his six games from the last year whatever,

0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>he would have finished with over five hundred rushing yards,

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:38.559
<v Speaker 1>which would have put him six among quarterbacks and rushing

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>yards behind Daniel Jones on a per game basis. I'm

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.600
<v Speaker 1>guessing this sort of thrown him into the occasional mobile,

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 1>but he didn't have to my eyes. Do you remember

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:54.079
<v Speaker 1>great runs from Deshaun Watson this year? Now, he never

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 1>quite even in his career, like he doesn't have the

0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 1>like you remember, Like going back to Michael Vick, like

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.880
<v Speaker 1>that over time run against the Vikings where they like

0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 1>oh God, and Lamar Jackson like you, Yeah, Watson, he's

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.320
<v Speaker 1>never he's not that type of runner, but he's he's

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 1>so must mobile. Yeah, well for sure you can make

0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 1>things happen if he needs to. All right, so let's

0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 1>start here, just the core essence. How many fantasy points

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:21.680
<v Speaker 1>per game? Did very mobile quarterbacks have? Occasionally mobile quarterbacks

0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:25.359
<v Speaker 1>and immobile quarterbacks, So let's just start right there. Immobile

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:29.320
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks averaged And obviously every scoring system is a little

0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.720
<v Speaker 1>bit different here, so you just use these as comparisons

0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 1>and you can you can apply your own scoring system

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:38.200
<v Speaker 1>to this. Immobile quarterbacks average fifteen fantasy points per game.

0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Occasionally mobile quarterbacks again, these are people in the twenty

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.359
<v Speaker 1>to forty yard range. That number jumped up to eighteen

0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 1>fantasy points per game with Patrick Mahomes. If you take

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Mahomes out of that, it drops, it go only

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:58.079
<v Speaker 1>goes to sixteen. The very mobile quarterbacks Brian jump up

0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.560
<v Speaker 1>to twenty one fantasy point points per game. That is

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:08.319
<v Speaker 1>almost a fifty percent boost over the immobile quarterback. Regardless

0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.839
<v Speaker 1>of how many actual points your scoring system has and

0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:14.600
<v Speaker 1>the nuances of yours. The difference between a mobile and

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:22.679
<v Speaker 1>very mobile quarterbacks is almost fifty percent. That's pretty serious change. Yeah,

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:27.960
<v Speaker 1>it's to me. That's where you start really changing your priorities.

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:32.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to find a rushing quarterback when you're drafting, Um,

0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 1>I want to hit you with this. Do rushing quarterbacks

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 1>miss more games? Do these mobile quarterbacks get hit more

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 1>often and miss more games? Off the top of your head,

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.560
<v Speaker 1>most people would say yes, because they're running around in

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:52.440
<v Speaker 1>the tackles. Yeah, but is that the case? Before I

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 1>looked at the data on the injuries and missed games

0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:00.520
<v Speaker 1>for mobile quarterbacks, I was of the belief that the

0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.120
<v Speaker 1>most dangerous place for a quarterback was in the pocket,

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.760
<v Speaker 1>that you get the blindside hit. You know your stationary

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.560
<v Speaker 1>and here comes some three hundred pound guy running full

0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:14.960
<v Speaker 1>steam into your back. That kind of stuff. Sunday did

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:18.559
<v Speaker 1>grind up the data, and as a reminder, here I'm

0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.760
<v Speaker 1>comparing starting quarterbacks, but starting quarterbacks or removed the quarterbacks

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 1>we played less than eight games in a season, and

0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.199
<v Speaker 1>I did remove a couple of that that pulled out

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 1>a couple of legit guys. You mentioned m Lamar Jackson,

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.680
<v Speaker 1>but also like Matthew Stafford last year, Sam Howell, Malik Wills,

0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn' Jeff Risk called Cooper Rush. I didn't want

0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 1>them concluding the data here. So here's where it comes in.

0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Immobile quarterbacks averaged fourteen starts per season. Occasionally, mobile quarterbacks

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 1>averaged fourteen starts per season. So now if we go

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 1>to that group of very mobile quarterbacks fields Alan Jones hurts,

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:06.880
<v Speaker 1>they averaged more games fifteen per season over the last

0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.880
<v Speaker 1>two years, at least for the at least for the

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 1>this data set of the last two years, these mobile

0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.840
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks are loop missing any more games then the mobile

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:20.400
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks and playing more games. It was either his most

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.679
<v Speaker 1>recent ankle injury or knee injury, or he hurt his

0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.079
<v Speaker 1>ankle one of the two times, if not both of

0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the last two times. Lamar Jackson's been hurt and missed

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 1>significant time several weeks. He's been hurting the pocket and

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:37.319
<v Speaker 1>people will musically jumped like running quarterback. He's like, yeah, well,

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 1>too bad. He was standing in the pocket when he

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.160
<v Speaker 1>hurt his ankle this time. It's not always when they're

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:46.560
<v Speaker 1>on the run. Great point, Josh Allen. When he got

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 1>hurt it was his elbow I don't remember the play.

0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh he was in the pocket armed top back and

0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 1>he's following through and then yeah, yeah, progress got impeded

0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 1>throwing the ball anybody, ye, yep, and you know, and

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.760
<v Speaker 1>that really it took the wheels off of Josh Allen

0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.040
<v Speaker 1>for about three or four games that elbow injury. They

0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:08.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't run him very much and that you know, that

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.839
<v Speaker 1>subdued his numbers a little bit last year. But still

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Allan obviously an elite mobile quarterback. Want to I want

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 1>to take a quick break when we come back, Brian,

0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about at what point in the

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:23.800
<v Speaker 1>draft do you need to take a mobile quarterback? Where

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 1>are they going in ADP? And are you paying that ADP?

0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.480
<v Speaker 1>You paying more for that for that quarterback? Are you

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna You're gonna let somebody else take that mobile quarterback?

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Stay tuned Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 1>We are talking about mobile rushing quarterbacks. Do you need

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:50.200
<v Speaker 1>to prioritize getting a rushing quarterback? Michael Vick really changed

0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the landscape modern day with some gigantic games that started

0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.840
<v Speaker 1>to give people a hint of what a dual threat

0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:02.160
<v Speaker 1>quarterback could be. But that was like twenty twelve years ago,

0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty years ago when he was drafted. Yeah, back, you

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:06.520
<v Speaker 1>have to go all the way back to when he

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:10.680
<v Speaker 1>was drafted, for sure, and Dante Culpepper that little bit. Yeah,

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.200
<v Speaker 1>No one ran like vic Lamar Jackson is the only

0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.360
<v Speaker 1>comparable guy in the last twenty thirty years. Ailin Hurts

0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:22.760
<v Speaker 1>and Jon Fields are into that. I'd take that back. Yeah, um,

0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:27.760
<v Speaker 1>but I think we were all very slow to realize

0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 1>that those guys were breaking scoring systems wide open, and

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 1>you know it, and it's only becoming more obvious now.

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna look this up now. I think he topped

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty passing touchdowns one time in his career. Yeah, that

0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.640
<v Speaker 1>was I think was that Eagles season two, And it

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 1>was like later on in his career. You may be

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:49.560
<v Speaker 1>right about that. And I remember mostly getting this wrong

0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.880
<v Speaker 1>because he had spent like three years in jail, and

0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 1>his first year back, I'm like, can you really spend

0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:56.640
<v Speaker 1>three years in jail and just walk down too a

0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 1>football field and be great? I turned out he was

0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:03.520
<v Speaker 1>pretty good, and uh so he was drafted to No. One. Um, yeah,

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:07.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty two years ago. But yeah, twenty touchdowns and oh

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.960
<v Speaker 1>six was his career high and then he went to

0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 1>prison and then oh nine he came back and in

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.680
<v Speaker 1>uh twenty ten is when he had twenty one passing touchdowns.

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.800
<v Speaker 1>So he said twenty or more passing touchdowns twice. Yeah,

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 1>in his career passing to me, I like five in

0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.720
<v Speaker 1>one game that Eagle that Monday night. Yeah, that was

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.600
<v Speaker 1>like was it against Washington? Yeah, I was in Washington.

0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I remember I lived out there at the time. I

0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:29.840
<v Speaker 1>almost went to that game, but I was like, I

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 1>hate both of these teams, but I wish I had

0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 1>seen that in person. That had been cool. But anyway,

0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.880
<v Speaker 1>now that box score remains one of the highest scoring

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.720
<v Speaker 1>single performances in fantasy football history. And he did a

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:41.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of it in the first half too. I remember

0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I think like fourth maybe in the first quarter, he

0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:46.680
<v Speaker 1>had like two bombs into de Shawn Jackson, then like

0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 1>a rushing touchdown, and like the first quarter, you know,

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.440
<v Speaker 1>like wouldn't surprise me. That was I want to say.

0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 1>He had over one hundred rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns,

0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.760
<v Speaker 1>and like three passing touchdowns in that game. Hold on,

0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I think I can pull if you can find that,

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:02.760
<v Speaker 1>that'd be fun to take. That'd be fun to hear

0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.480
<v Speaker 1>about that game again for the young guns out there,

0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:08.640
<v Speaker 1>they don't remember that. We'll remember that game from what year?

0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Do we think that? It was twenty ten? Sadly, but

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:14.920
<v Speaker 1>that was a long time ago, twenty ten. I remember

0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>commiserating with Matthew Barry during that game because he's a

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:22.040
<v Speaker 1>big Washington fan. Yeah. And Monday Night Football November fifteenth,

0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:29.880
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles beat Washington fifty nine twenty eight. Let's see

0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Michael vic head three thirty three and four passing and

0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:41.200
<v Speaker 1>then eighty yards rushing in two rushing touchdowns and touchdown performance.

0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:44.440
<v Speaker 1>They took their foot off the gas mid third quarter

0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:46.880
<v Speaker 1>in that game too. Well, I'm sure they put a

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:48.640
<v Speaker 1>fifty nine point so they must have at some point.

0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Who was the backup quarterback that came in after Michael Ing, Oh,

0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:55.480
<v Speaker 1>good old Kevin Cobb. Kevin, you know what, he only

0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:59.120
<v Speaker 1>took it. H He didn't have a pass attempt Vic

0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:03.400
<v Speaker 1>most of the game, okay, cobbed one rush attempt negative,

0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:05.720
<v Speaker 1>so he kneeled the ball field. That would say okay

0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 1>with the days anyway, So we've established that these very

0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:14.280
<v Speaker 1>mobile quarterbacks are worth almost a fifty percent boost and

0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:19.480
<v Speaker 1>fantasy points over the immobile quarterback. So let's talk ADP.

0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.560
<v Speaker 1>What kind of ADP are we looking at for guys

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:25.560
<v Speaker 1>like Fields and Josh Allen and Daniel Jones and Jalen Hurts.

0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Well in super flex and two quarterback, nothing really changes

0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.840
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks going high demand. You'll see the top ten go

0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 1>in the first two rounds. Really, and if there's any

0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:38.480
<v Speaker 1>there's barely any room for them to move up in

0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.439
<v Speaker 1>two quarterback formats, right if any little wiggle room there

0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.480
<v Speaker 1>is is gone. But you're gonna see in any order,

0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:48.080
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be Fields, sorry, not Fields, but Hurts, Alan

0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Mahomes go in that order, and then even Burrow he's

0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.440
<v Speaker 1>not as he's not falling into this category. But yeah,

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:58.360
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks premium in super flex two quarterback, no shocker there.

0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.439
<v Speaker 1>But in one quarterback I've seen a huge shift from

0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:06.520
<v Speaker 1>last year where Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, and Patrick Mahomes

0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.119
<v Speaker 1>somewhat mobile. He's really mobile in the sense that he

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:12.600
<v Speaker 1>gives you those e white mobile numbers. Yeah, yeah, he

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:14.520
<v Speaker 1>really scrambles what he needs to, but he can throw

0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:16.879
<v Speaker 1>an eighty yard bomb behind his back that counts as

0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:18.800
<v Speaker 1>like an eighty yard rushing touch. Now, to right. But

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:22.960
<v Speaker 1>those guys are going early first. They're not going anywhere

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:28.000
<v Speaker 1>past the mid second, which is easily a round and

0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.680
<v Speaker 1>a half earlier than last year. Justin fields right now,

0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 1>his current best ball ADP an underdog is thirty six,

0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:37.120
<v Speaker 1>which is the end of round three. That's where you seek.

0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:40.240
<v Speaker 1>That's where you'd see quarterback one going last year. If

0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.080
<v Speaker 1>that early, really they're really going like mid third, early fourth,

0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:44.960
<v Speaker 1>you would see people going it was really more like

0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen last year. But in

0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.359
<v Speaker 1>best ball, isn't it even more important to get the

0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:56.320
<v Speaker 1>crazy upside that these rushing quarterbacks can give you the standard?

0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.560
<v Speaker 1>So I'm surprised that I'm surprised they're even going that long.

0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:01.720
<v Speaker 1>To me to buy on justin fields end of the

0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:04.879
<v Speaker 1>third round, Oh yeah, definitely, and uh yeah fields, and

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:08.920
<v Speaker 1>then Lamar Jackson is going after fields. I mean Lamar Jackson,

0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:12.920
<v Speaker 1>he has a repeat of his twenty nineteen season. Well,

0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:14.640
<v Speaker 1>how many? How many years are we going to say that? Though?

0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I know, I mean now we've been saying that for

0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:17.760
<v Speaker 1>three years waiting for him to happen. I'll get a

0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:20.680
<v Speaker 1>little bit more excited about l Jackson if they say

0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:23.880
<v Speaker 1>they land DeAndre Hopkins somehow, or they it'd be better

0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:26.600
<v Speaker 1>if he goes somewhere else, potentially Lamar Jackson. Yeah, it

0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.240
<v Speaker 1>actually sounds like he probably will. I don't know what

0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:33.280
<v Speaker 1>he's not in the Giants conversation, or you got to

0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:36.320
<v Speaker 1>afford him, and you've got to decide the Ravens, who

0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:40.000
<v Speaker 1>know everything there is to know about Lamar Jackson, if

0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:45.439
<v Speaker 1>they decide to pass on paying him, what does that

0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:48.359
<v Speaker 1>say to the rest of the league. Does the rest

0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:51.119
<v Speaker 1>of the league go, well, you know, if they're not

0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:53.320
<v Speaker 1>going to pay him, why are we going to step up?

0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Or is it just there's so many teams that are

0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:58.719
<v Speaker 1>desperate at quarterback that somebody will for sure what it is.

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.919
<v Speaker 1>Kyler is Kyler Marie and DeShawn Watson deals have just

0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:06.920
<v Speaker 1>blown up quarterback market. That makes Daniel Jones almost borderline

0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 1>worth forty five million dollars. It's not happy, it's a

0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:12.240
<v Speaker 1>little too much, but sadly he's like a thirty five

0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:16.359
<v Speaker 1>million dollars guy. Based on what Daniel Watson and Daniel

0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Jones touchdowns passing touchdowns the last three years fifteen, ten

0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:27.320
<v Speaker 1>and eleven. He's like and he's forty million dollars quarterback.

0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:30.720
<v Speaker 1>He's like Michael Vicks. Well he's not even not even

0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:34.440
<v Speaker 1>not it's yet's absurd, but that it might be that way, Well,

0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:36.880
<v Speaker 1>we'll see what it really has happened. When Jalen Hurts,

0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I think he's in the last year of his contract.

0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:41.000
<v Speaker 1>This year's who had the money he's gonna get he commands,

0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:42.920
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna get a lot. But the long story short

0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:46.440
<v Speaker 1>in one quarterback leagues, I want to say, the jig

0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:48.199
<v Speaker 1>is up, the cat is out of the bag, whatever.

0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:51.399
<v Speaker 1>The price is way up on the Jalen Hurts and

0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:53.360
<v Speaker 1>the Josh Allens of the world, just because they are.

0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Those two guys put up and justin fields even they

0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:59.200
<v Speaker 1>put up top twelve running back numbers and that doesn't

0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:02.679
<v Speaker 1>even factor in their passing. So yeah, all right there,

0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 1>and there's still room for these guys to go up.

0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:07.239
<v Speaker 1>Like you said, you're kind of shocked that Hurts and

0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Alan were going. I could I wouldn't be shocked. We

0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 1>get deeper into the summer spring summer, we see them

0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:16.080
<v Speaker 1>going in the mid first and maybe even first overall.

0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:18.040
<v Speaker 1>So all right, we'll let's all right, well, let we

0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:21.440
<v Speaker 1>discussed in detail. Justin Fields, talk to me about Josh Allen.

0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:23.439
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to him next. Where is Josh Allen going

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:27.480
<v Speaker 1>right now? Right now? He's quarterback one ADP of sixteen

0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:32.119
<v Speaker 1>point six, so he is, you know, first the third

0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:34.160
<v Speaker 1>of the second round. He's an early second round pick

0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:36.840
<v Speaker 1>right now, early second round pick. And Mahomes and Hurts

0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 1>are right behind him. It's like whoever you prefer there

0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:43.479
<v Speaker 1>and and we can talk best ball centric. It kind

0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:46.520
<v Speaker 1>of almost depends if you compare a Digs or a

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Kelsey or a AJ Brown who you take in the

0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:53.640
<v Speaker 1>first round in whatever course. But those three guys, they're

0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:57.119
<v Speaker 1>going ahead of RB five six right now. Yeah, And

0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:59.080
<v Speaker 1>that was never the case. It used to be, no,

0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:01.720
<v Speaker 1>not in one quarterback. I think finally people have gotten

0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 1>around to being a lot more open to not spending

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:06.440
<v Speaker 1>those early picks on running backs, which is taken twenty years.

0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:09.680
<v Speaker 1>But it's great to see. I think it's great to

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:11.200
<v Speaker 1>see those guys going where they are, and I think

0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:13.240
<v Speaker 1>you can make case for them to all go higher

0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:17.160
<v Speaker 1>than they are. The key with these rushing quarterbacks Fields,

0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Alan Jones, Daniel Jones, who I'm putting into this conversation

0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:22.919
<v Speaker 1>at least for a minute, and Jalen hurts. It's the

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:26.439
<v Speaker 1>designed runs. It's not that they can scramble, it's that

0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 1>they have offenses that give them eight nine, ten, twelve

0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:36.199
<v Speaker 1>rushing attempts in a game. Totally changes the landscape. You know,

0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:38.040
<v Speaker 1>there used to be times when you could go with

0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:43.159
<v Speaker 1>you could go with a just a scrambling quarterback who

0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:46.080
<v Speaker 1>would periodically, you know, get out of the pocket and

0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:49.359
<v Speaker 1>run fifteen yards down field. And but these guys are

0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:53.359
<v Speaker 1>getting designed runs that are breaking defenses and giving you

0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:57.480
<v Speaker 1>opportunities for big gains and rushing touchdowns. And that's just

0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:00.880
<v Speaker 1>a it's a key differential. And the butter fly effect

0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:06.760
<v Speaker 1>on the Allen's Mahomes hurtzes. And then even justin fields

0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:11.160
<v Speaker 1>going in the third round is creating a panic almost

0:23:11.560 --> 0:23:14.280
<v Speaker 1>in the draft in draft rooms at the quarterback position.

0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:18.199
<v Speaker 1>There are now fourteen quarterbacks going inside the top one

0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:21.240
<v Speaker 1>hundred picks. And that's that's you know, yeah, that's factoring

0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:24.800
<v Speaker 1>in Justin Herbert, who's not a mob like think about

0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:27.400
<v Speaker 1>last year we were saying wait until after round ten

0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:29.159
<v Speaker 1>to even think about taking your first quarterback, and now

0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:32.840
<v Speaker 1>there are fourteen quarterbacks going inside the top one because

0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:35.200
<v Speaker 1>people are reaching on the early on these elite quarterbacks,

0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and people are panicking to uh yeah, it's it's times

0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:41.800
<v Speaker 1>have changed, just like that, the quarterback position. It's crazy.

0:23:42.000 --> 0:23:44.679
<v Speaker 1>I think you're right, Um, if you do take the

0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:47.159
<v Speaker 1>mobile quarterback early, do you feel like that changes in

0:23:47.560 --> 0:23:50.120
<v Speaker 1>your mind in any way when you take that quarterbacks back,

0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:52.879
<v Speaker 1>when you take it back up your second quarterback. You know,

0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:55.560
<v Speaker 1>if I go quarterback in the second round, I go

0:23:55.600 --> 0:23:59.479
<v Speaker 1>get Josh Allen early, second round? Is it? What's your

0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:01.800
<v Speaker 1>thinking on? And I need to take my next quarterback.

0:24:02.440 --> 0:24:05.160
<v Speaker 1>In most cases, you know, you pay up for quar

0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:09.240
<v Speaker 1>an elite quarterback and elite mobile quarterback. You're waiting to

0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:12.240
<v Speaker 1>take your backup quarterback because you've invested so much in

0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:16.359
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback position. If that quarterback goes belly up, odds

0:24:16.359 --> 0:24:19.600
<v Speaker 1>are your team goes with it. Right. It's not like

0:24:20.920 --> 0:24:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Zach Wilson is gonna save your team if you lose

0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:26.119
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurts. I know Zach Wilson it's not going to

0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:30.119
<v Speaker 1>be a starting quarterback. But it also depends, you know,

0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:34.720
<v Speaker 1>if if you're a backup quarterback, a quarterback slides too

0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:36.400
<v Speaker 1>far in the draft and already have Jalen Hurts will

0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:38.000
<v Speaker 1>be like, screw it, I'll take this quarterback. He's too

0:24:38.080 --> 0:24:41.400
<v Speaker 1>cheap right here. But essentially, the more you pay a quarterback,

0:24:41.480 --> 0:24:43.480
<v Speaker 1>the more you pay up, the longer you wait for

0:24:43.600 --> 0:24:49.639
<v Speaker 1>your backup. Yeah, there are some intriguing mobile quarterbacks that

0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:53.120
<v Speaker 1>should be cheap. Will levis the rookie. He's a very

0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:57.399
<v Speaker 1>mobile quarterback that you could get late. We mentioned Trey Lance.

0:24:58.520 --> 0:25:00.840
<v Speaker 1>It seems like he knows what is situation. But he's

0:25:00.840 --> 0:25:04.480
<v Speaker 1>actually one of those top or those quarterbacks going to

0:25:04.560 --> 0:25:07.639
<v Speaker 1>top one. He's like people are, yeah, you know with

0:25:07.720 --> 0:25:10.640
<v Speaker 1>brock Purty putting out, you know, his elbow still hasn't ready,

0:25:10.640 --> 0:25:12.840
<v Speaker 1>he still hasn't had the surgery that we all thought

0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:15.080
<v Speaker 1>he would have had by now. If this thing could

0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:17.320
<v Speaker 1>really drag out where brock Purdy's not ready for the

0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:21.040
<v Speaker 1>start of next year and Trey Lance gets first crack

0:25:21.200 --> 0:25:24.560
<v Speaker 1>at winning that job, he becomes pretty intriguing as a

0:25:24.560 --> 0:25:30.080
<v Speaker 1>as a flyer Light and Jordan Love He's got some mobility.

0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:32.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm just intrigued with him overall because it sure seems

0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:36.200
<v Speaker 1>like Roger Richardson does. We'll find his land. Richardson doesn't

0:25:36.240 --> 0:25:39.240
<v Speaker 1>seem like the I think Levis feels like the quarterback

0:25:39.240 --> 0:25:42.119
<v Speaker 1>that would get Richardson seems like the quarterback they whoever

0:25:42.160 --> 0:25:44.119
<v Speaker 1>drafts him he just has to be on the bench

0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:50.880
<v Speaker 1>for but he certainly has uh you know, he's got

0:25:50.880 --> 0:25:54.359
<v Speaker 1>some mobility that has people talking, all right, So give

0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:59.760
<v Speaker 1>me a simple yes no. In a one quarterback league, Brian,

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:03.080
<v Speaker 1>for you personally and the drafts you're already doing best

0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:06.960
<v Speaker 1>ball drafts, are you prioritizing a rushing quarterback in one

0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:12.720
<v Speaker 1>quarterback leagues? I am, I'm right now. I'm not reaching

0:26:12.800 --> 0:26:15.600
<v Speaker 1>in the first half of the first round, which were

0:26:15.760 --> 0:26:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I think we could see these quarterbacks move up to

0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:20.920
<v Speaker 1>but right now I will. You can call it prioritize

0:26:20.920 --> 0:26:23.040
<v Speaker 1>getting one. If I have a late first round pick,

0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll take one in the second early second round. Okay,

0:26:26.640 --> 0:26:29.480
<v Speaker 1>And it's really right now, I'm only really talking best ball.

0:26:29.520 --> 0:26:32.760
<v Speaker 1>But if I'm grabbing Stefan Diggs or A J. Brown,

0:26:33.400 --> 0:26:36.240
<v Speaker 1>or if Travis Kelcey manages to slip in the five

0:26:36.400 --> 0:26:40.000
<v Speaker 1>six seven range, I'll gladly pair one of those ais

0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:42.919
<v Speaker 1>with Mahomes, who I know is not super mobile, but

0:26:42.960 --> 0:26:44.800
<v Speaker 1>he's mobile enough. But it's really the hurts in the

0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:47.879
<v Speaker 1>Allen's Well, I've just found you know, you looked in

0:26:47.920 --> 0:26:51.000
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs in all my leagues or teams I had

0:26:51.520 --> 0:26:54.879
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurts justin Fields, Josh Allen, those are the teams

0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:57.680
<v Speaker 1>that were competing in the fantasy playoffs last year. They

0:26:57.680 --> 0:27:02.320
<v Speaker 1>were for the most part. And Jalen Hurts he got

0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:04.200
<v Speaker 1>hurt at the wrong time. If you remember lying on

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Jalen hurds and that was me. But uh yeah, but

0:27:07.119 --> 0:27:09.880
<v Speaker 1>that's just that was just bad luck. I think, um,

0:27:09.920 --> 0:27:15.200
<v Speaker 1>super flex, are you prioritizing rushing quarterbacks? Yeah, me too.

0:27:15.680 --> 0:27:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Think about this. Could you come out of the first

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:20.439
<v Speaker 1>two rounds you're picking end of the first round in

0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:25.000
<v Speaker 1>super flex, Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, I don't think so.

0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:28.000
<v Speaker 1>You don't think you can pull it off. You think

0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:30.359
<v Speaker 1>those guys will be mean, that's like those are that

0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:33.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe one two right there in super flex? Yeah, yeah,

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:36.080
<v Speaker 1>you're probably right. It's all they're they're gonna go. I

0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:38.000
<v Speaker 1>think you see Justin Fields go at the end of

0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the first round at letist in a super flex draft.

0:27:41.359 --> 0:27:44.800
<v Speaker 1>You're probably right. Two quarterback leagues, now everybody's you know,

0:27:44.880 --> 0:27:46.880
<v Speaker 1>now the you know, eight of the first ten are

0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:51.159
<v Speaker 1>going to be quarterbacks for sure. Um do you prioritize

0:27:51.160 --> 0:27:52.760
<v Speaker 1>it there? You're like, well, at this point there's no

0:27:52.840 --> 0:27:54.600
<v Speaker 1>value to be had and I'm gonna just I'm gonna

0:27:54.640 --> 0:27:58.199
<v Speaker 1>slough it. Now. You gotta reach for you got it?

0:27:58.280 --> 0:28:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Especially in two mandatory quarter back leagues, Yeah, you gotta. Yeah.

0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Those are the ones where you see Daniel Jones going

0:28:04.320 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 1>in the second round before you know a team he's

0:28:07.320 --> 0:28:09.520
<v Speaker 1>going to be on, which tells you that you're you

0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:12.080
<v Speaker 1>might be playing a system that's a little broken. But

0:28:13.240 --> 0:28:16.439
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Jones that those rushing numbers were that you know

0:28:16.480 --> 0:28:19.119
<v Speaker 1>it made him a viable fantasy starter this year. I

0:28:19.160 --> 0:28:22.080
<v Speaker 1>will say though I've I've kind of been advocating pairing

0:28:22.280 --> 0:28:26.919
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen's Jalen Hurts with their top wide receiver. I

0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:28.480
<v Speaker 1>don't go out of my way to do that though,

0:28:28.760 --> 0:28:30.960
<v Speaker 1>as much with like the statuesque quarterbacks, those are the

0:28:31.000 --> 0:28:32.719
<v Speaker 1>ones that really lock in on their number one guy.

0:28:32.760 --> 0:28:36.720
<v Speaker 1>The mobile quarterbacks that are kind of they'll find whoever's open. Really,

0:28:36.800 --> 0:28:39.880
<v Speaker 1>so it's not a you call that running a quarterback

0:28:39.960 --> 0:28:42.480
<v Speaker 1>naked like I'll go naked Jalen Hurts meaning you're not

0:28:42.560 --> 0:28:44.480
<v Speaker 1>don't pair him with any of your and you could

0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:49.720
<v Speaker 1>easily get away doing that too. I'm more susceptible best ball.

0:28:49.760 --> 0:28:52.160
<v Speaker 1>You're looking for all these big upside connections. I think

0:28:52.200 --> 0:28:56.320
<v Speaker 1>in a standard league it's maybe more advisable to not

0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:59.560
<v Speaker 1>have that connection, and the league it's critical to not

0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:02.440
<v Speaker 1>have that connection absolutely. So you know, I think you

0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:04.400
<v Speaker 1>have to know your know your format a little bit.

0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:07.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, tons of fun. Yeah, hey, next week, let's

0:29:07.560 --> 0:29:10.240
<v Speaker 1>we're going to dive into rookies. Next week, the combines

0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:13.280
<v Speaker 1>coming around, we'll talk about start getting up to speed

0:29:13.280 --> 0:29:15.240
<v Speaker 1>on the rookies. We really care about who's going to

0:29:15.280 --> 0:29:18.240
<v Speaker 1>make an impact um and start. You know, let's really

0:29:18.280 --> 0:29:21.400
<v Speaker 1>start our deep diving rookies other than Bijean Robinson. Yeah,

0:29:21.840 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 1>we're he won't even mention him. He's a little rare.

0:29:25.000 --> 0:29:26.920
<v Speaker 1>He's like he's the one oh one in a super

0:29:26.920 --> 0:29:32.560
<v Speaker 1>flex startup. Most most years it's a quarterback. Last year

0:29:32.600 --> 0:29:37.480
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't a quarterback, but yeah, the right landing spot.

0:29:38.280 --> 0:29:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Robinson's got first overall pick upside. If you remember back

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:46.200
<v Speaker 1>to Zeke's rookie year, I had him number one on

0:29:46.200 --> 0:29:48.560
<v Speaker 1>my cheat sheet and he finished close to number one.

0:29:48.680 --> 0:29:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Se Quons year I had him add or close to

0:29:51.040 --> 0:29:54.280
<v Speaker 1>number one. You know, if Robinson finds it fine, you know,

0:29:54.320 --> 0:29:56.360
<v Speaker 1>falls into the right spot. Like I think Joe Mixon

0:29:56.400 --> 0:29:59.480
<v Speaker 1>looked totally cooked. If the Bengals do end up moving

0:29:59.480 --> 0:30:04.160
<v Speaker 1>on him, on Bijean Robinson and and that's it, can't

0:30:04.200 --> 0:30:06.600
<v Speaker 1>argue it. Think about the Bengals with adding him in,

0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:12.080
<v Speaker 1>oh Man, that would be so enticing. Same with the Chiefs,

0:30:12.400 --> 0:30:15.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's the Chiefs though. You almost worry about

0:30:17.040 --> 0:30:20.520
<v Speaker 1>how many touchdowns Patrick Mahomes leaves behind, because the Chiefs

0:30:20.560 --> 0:30:24.160
<v Speaker 1>with Patrick Molomes have never been able to get consistent

0:30:25.160 --> 0:30:28.320
<v Speaker 1>touchdown production or even yardage production out of a running

0:30:28.320 --> 0:30:32.480
<v Speaker 1>back since Patrick Mahomes has been there. Yeah, he wasn't.

0:30:32.520 --> 0:30:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Kareem Hunt was. Sam was the year before him? Right?

0:30:36.200 --> 0:30:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Was that Alex Smith? That was an Alex Smith year? Yeah,

0:30:39.440 --> 0:30:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Mahomes until weeks they had a meaningless week seventeen Holmes

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:47.239
<v Speaker 1>played in and then that was it. Yeah, and then

0:30:47.320 --> 0:30:50.680
<v Speaker 1>obviously everything took off. Uh, thanks Bran, Yeah, sounds of fun.

0:30:50.720 --> 0:30:54.960
