Speaker 1: We are the strong that stirs the drink. And we're

8
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: gonna talk about four second year breakout candidates. That right,

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: Sometimes it doesn't always happen year one for people. Just

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: ask Andrew Erickson. That first year, his rookie season was

11
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: really tough. He was falling over his words. He was

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: forgetting player names, who guys played on different teams, didn't

13
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: did an That's right. Yeah, that first plant foot still

14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: a struggle bus for him. But after that he put

15
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: his nose to the grindstone and he really pushed forward.

16
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: And look at what he's become now a superstar in

17
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: the world of fantasy sports. Now, we're still waiting for

18
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: the breakout for Derek Brown. He's in year few. Things

19
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: still hasn't happened. But sometimes it just doesn't happen. So

20
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about some second year guys here that

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: we are on the precipice of maybe some great things

22
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: in fantasy football. Before we get to it. Subscribe to

24
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: favorite second year breakouts. We love to hear from our

25
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: people here, but let's start here with Andrew Rickson. Why

26
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: don't you give us your big second year breakout performer

27
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: number one for twenty twenty six.

28
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: Speaking of superstars, I think Omaron Hampton can have a

29
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: superstar level jump in year two. Last year he had

30
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,279
Speaker 2: to overcome a lot as a rookie in the Chargers

31
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: offense that was really hurt by injuries all over the place.

32
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: The offensive line was gott to buy injuries. Hampton himself

33
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: missed a lot of games. He only played in nine

34
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: games as a rookie. And I think that things are

35
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: going to improve in year two. You have Mike McDaniel

36
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: coming in as the new offensive coordinator for the Los

37
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: Angeles Chargers, and what I like about him is how

38
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: often he targeted his running backs as the head coach

39
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: of the Miami Dolphins. Three of the four seasons he

40
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: was head coach, they were top three in running back

41
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: target chair. So last year, Hampton flashed as a receiver.

42
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: I believe he had five games at least four or more.

43
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: So I think Hampton, especially with what he did as

44
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: a rusher in the second half of the season when

45
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: he was playing, he was eleventh yards after contact per attempt.

46
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: PFF ranked him as the eighth best graded rusher. He

47
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: showed that he could handle a full workload. He played

48
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: four games with at least seventy nine percent plus snap

49
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: share average seventeen point five fantasy points per game and

50
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: overall average seventeen point three touches per game, tied for

51
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: top twelve at the position. So although it wasn't a

52
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: complete rookie year, a lot of the running backs is

53
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 2: the rookies underwhelmed the last season. I think in year

54
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: two he is set to take a big step forward.

55
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: I love this Chargers offense because number one, they have

56
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 2: a brutal schedule, so I think it's gonna be a

57
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: lot of shootouts and losing Jesse Minter as their defense coordinator,

58
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: I think that defense is going to get exposed against

59
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: this tough schedule, and I think Hampton, whether they're winning

60
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: games or they're losing games, is going to be involved

61
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: heavily throughout. He's explosive, he catches passes, he's big, he's

62
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: got the size, basically checking off all the boxes of

63
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: a year two breakout at the running back position.

64
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am uncomfortably all in on a Mury and

65
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: Hampton right now.

66
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: I've raised my right. Maybe the conversation we had on

67
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: the running Back show we just recorded, I had the

68
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: bump up with the ranks as Ericson was talking, and

69
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: I don't think it's wrong to do that, and you know,

70
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 3: I don't.

71
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 1: I don't want to get it out of control. I

72
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: don't want him being a top five overall player or

73
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: something like that. But I always like to think about

74
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: where we're gonna be in twenty twenty seven when we're

75
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: having these conversations about what the ranks look like, and

76
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: I find it really difficult to believe it o Marion

77
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: Hampton's then in that top five running back conversation, I

78
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: just I just from the setup. So therefore I'm going

79
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: to be the best part about it is I don't

80
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: think he's ever gonna get quite there in the ranks

81
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: this year, but I'm gonna be drafting him as though

82
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: like that's my approach and when I think of him

83
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: in terms of how much he means to my roster. So, deebro,

84
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: let's talk about one of your second in year breakouts

85
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: who kind of made the grade for you.

86
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: You're gonna love this shoe. It's Bacial Tutan, Baby, am

87
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 3: I You're gonna love it.

88
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: Look, I want Bacial Tuton to be good here. Then here,

89
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna be very happy. I'll get good. I wanted

90
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: to be good. I'm just afraid of it. I'm fearful. Well,

91
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: we want to bet on talent.

92
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: Meton definitely has the freaking down on the man, like

93
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: his fifty five qualifying backs last year fifth and rushing

94
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: success rate eleventh and miss tackle rates seventeenth and yards

95
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: of to contact per attempt.

96
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 1: I know everybody is talking about Liam Cohen and all

97
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: the strings. We can you know, draw all the parallels.

98
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 3: We could draw out Chris Rodriguez about all this kind

99
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: of stuff. Can we also talk about Liam Cohen and

100
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: that front office drafted Basial Tutin and so talk about

101
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 3: wanting running backs, Well, they went out and added Tuton

102
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 3: to this roster before getting Chris Rodriguez on the team.

103
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 3: So we're talking about hierarchy of needs here. I put

104
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 3: Touton above Rodriguez, and Rodriguez is a fine player for

105
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 3: what he offers an offense, but he we also can

106
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 3: agree collectively that he's basically a zero sum player in

107
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 3: the passing game. So Touton at worst would be the

108
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 3: passing down compliment to this offense. But I think he's

109
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: going to be so much more than that because the

110
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 3: early down talent is there, the physical uh specimen that

111
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: he is as a player. We talk about the athleticism,

112
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: so the ability to rip off those long runs. Chris

113
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 3: Rodriguez does not have that. So the risk is being

114
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 3: baked in for bacial Tutan and rankings and where he'll

115
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 3: go in draft season, and I'm sure there's still gonna

116
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: be a talking point for everybody throughout the entirety of

117
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 3: the summer. I'm going to continue to bet on the

118
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 3: talent of Basial Tutin, and we didn't see we were

119
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: robbed of it, honestly, guys, because the finger injury that

120
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 3: he sustained in his rookie season. We want to see

121
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 3: these guys get utilized more in the stretch run of

122
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 3: their rookie season. We were robbed of that because of

123
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: the finger injury that Basil Tuton sustained last year. If

124
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: we would have gotten that down the stretch and it

125
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 3: wasn't just all Traves e Chan, then Basil Tuton wouldn't

126
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 3: be getting I'm not gonna say hate, but all of

127
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: the questions about his role in this backfield would not

128
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 3: be as present entering this year. If Tuton had played more,

129
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 3: which we were starting to see during the middle of

130
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 3: the season, if that would have increased in the back

131
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 3: half of last year, we wouldn't have all these questions

132
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: about him entering twenty twenty six.

133
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: All right, So those are two names that I know

134
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: I am very excited about. I'm very aggressively in on

135
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: our inhanted, I'm very tentatively in on Bachial Tutan. I

136
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: want it to work. I'm just a little bit more

137
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: concerned about all the stuff going around Jacksonville first. But

138
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: that's okay because there's more names to get to on

139
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: this list. Before we get to them, just a shout

00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: to use it, and then just go premium the rest

158
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: of the season. Man, get all of your ducks in

159
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: row for all of your teams. You could set all

160
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,239
Speaker 1: your lineups from the app from all the different sites

161
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: that you're playing on. You can make all the trade

162
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: analyzer usage, you could do all the waiver wire stuff.

163
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: The tools are amazing, don't be a tool, use the

164
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: tools at Fantasy pros. All right, let's go to the

165
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: next guy on our list here, and we've got not one,

166
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: but two Chicago Bears. Now, one of these guys I

167
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,239
Speaker 1: can already tell you all the yeares I can get

168
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: this year. I want the other guy, I'm not so sure.

169
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: So Luther Burden Ericson, that's your guy that I'm not

170
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: so sure about yet, sell me. Let's go.

171
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not so sure either, but I think that

172
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: he's player worth having the conversation about as a breakout candidate,

173
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: because that's the name of the show. It's not breakout locks,

174
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: it's breakout candidates. And Luther Burdi if you look at

175
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: him in the ECR wide receiver twenty one, I mean

176
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: that is a breakout candidate worthy position, and it's because

177
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: of what he did in his rookie year yards per

178
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: out run off the charts third among qualifying wide receivers

179
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 2: last year, behind Phuka, Nakua, Jacksmith, and Jigba. Maybe you've

180
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: heard of them, they're pretty good. They're pretty good in

181
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: Fantasy last year as well. So a lot of the

182
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: hype and excitement about Luther burn stems from he was

183
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: super efficient as a rookie. You look at what he

184
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: did yards after the catch per reception. He was fourth

185
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: at seven point two tenth enforced miss tackles. Ben Johnson

186
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: has been very vocal about we got to get fine

187
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: ways to get the ball into Luther Burn's hands because

188
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: last year, every time they did good things happened, and

189
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: that should continue to happen with now a big opportunity

190
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 2: to opening up in this offense. With Dj Moore no

191
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: longer on the team, this team is second and vacated

192
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: wide receiver targets fifth and targets inside the ten heading

193
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: into the twenty twenty six season, So when we're talking

194
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: about who could potentially step up take on a bigger

195
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 2: share of the targets in an offense that look, maybe

196
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 2: Williams is just answer right. You just draft him and

197
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: you just you don't have to guess where the targets

198
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 2: are going to go because he's going to melt faces

199
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: in his second year with Ben Johnson. That's kind of

200
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: how I like playing it. But with Luther Burden, if

201
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 2: he ends up being that Iman Ross Saint Brown in

202
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson's offense where he's getting a lot of the

203
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: layup targets out of the slot. He had the highest

204
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: target rate or catchable target rate per Fantasy Points state

205
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: of last year at ninety percent. So while Roma Dunze

206
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 2: also a player that should be able to capitalize on

207
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 2: some of these vacated targets, he's seeing more of the

208
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: tougher targets. There's a reason why him and Kibas haven't

209
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: been able to connect the last two seasons because he's

210
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: running the harder routes where it's not as easy. But

211
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: Luthor Burden he's getting the layups, the underneath targets where

212
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: he can just create yards out of the catch, which

213
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: is what he is best at. And coming out of college,

214
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 2: I always felt that he was very dependent on his

215
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: landing spot and where he is in Ben Johnson's offense

216
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: where he can be the underneath eater rack up PPR points. Yeah,

217
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: this is the Bowl case for Luther Burden as a

218
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: breakout candidate. The bearsh case is, well, what if he

219
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 2: doesn't play more snaps? He only played sixty percent of

220
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: the snaps times last year and when the Bears go

221
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: heavy tight ends, is Luther burn even on the field,

222
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 2: Like who's the number one wide receiver on the offense.

223
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 2: We know Colson Love is gonna be on the field,

224
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: so is it really about is it Roma Dunzay or

225
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 2: is it Luther Burden? And I agree with ECR ranking

226
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: Burden ahead of Odoonsay because, well, Ben Johnson, I think

227
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 2: he made it very clear who he wants to be

228
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: featured in his offense when he drafted Colson Loveland and

229
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: Luther Burdon with his first two picks when he became

230
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: the head coach of the Chicago Bears. So that's my

231
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: long winded answer of saying Luther burn is a breakout candidate.

232
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: Am I fully there with the draft price because it's

233
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: all baked in? I'm not so sure, but I can

234
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 2: definitely see the appeal and why people are excited about

235
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: the Bears wide receiver.

236
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: Then you see that thing again too where they put

237
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: Aduonsay and Burden kind of close to each other in

238
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: the ECR, because what does that tell everybody? Nobody knows,

239
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: nobody sure exactly how's going to shake out, So they

240
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: just put them all together because everyone's got a question mark.

241
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: Now you mentioned Colson Loveland. That's the guy that I

242
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: think on a weekly basis that I want that's the

243
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: one that I'm investing heavily in because debro to Erickson's point,

244
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: you don't know who's gonna be on the field or

245
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: what the snarior is going to be. But there's one

246
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: guy that I know is going to be part of

247
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: the game plan every week because at the end of

248
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: the year, through the playoffs, Colston Lovelan was an absolute

249
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: freaking rockstar. And it's just very clear to me that

250
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: that is the guy where the offense is really going

251
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: to run through, not necessarily the receivers, which is interesting scenario,

252
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: but we even saw, you know, back when Ben Johnson

253
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: had Sam Laporte his rookie year, how good that can

254
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: look potentially. So let's talk about Colston Lovelin. Why you

255
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: agree with me that he could absolutely be a big

256
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: breakout this season.

257
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 3: I want to be very clear that I think both

258
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 3: of these breakouts for these Bears players that can happen

259
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 3: with Dj Moore being gone, this this target tree getting

260
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 3: consolidated more and kind of how Ericson alluded to Roma Dunes,

261
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 3: they could be the guy that's on the outside looking in.

262
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 3: I look at Colston loveland as I think he's going

263
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 3: to be their clear wide receiver one for that team.

264
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 3: And we already saw this happen guys, like Week sixteen

265
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 3: on last year, he had a twenty five point six

266
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 3: percent target chair, two point five four to nine yards

267
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 3: per route run, eighty one point six receiving yards per game,

268
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: and a thirty four percent first reach. Here. If you

269
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 3: zoom out and look at those numbers in the totality

270
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: of the season amongst tight ends with at least twenty

271
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 3: five targets, that would have ranked first, fourth, first, and first.

272
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 3: I will be drafting Colston Loveland everywhere this year. I

273
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 3: think he has the upside to be the tight end

274
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 3: one overall. And I want to be very specific about this.

275
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 3: I was all in on Trey Maybride last year. I'm

276
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 3: not saying that brock Bowers will not be good. But

277
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: you look at the quarterback play, you look at this offense,

278
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 3: and you look at the usage that we've already seen

279
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 3: in a small sample for Colston Loveland, I think he

280
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 3: can be the tight end one this year. I don't

281
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 3: think the conversation is Trey m Trey McBride versus Brock Bowers.

282
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 3: The conversation should be brock Bowers versus Colston Loveland. I

283
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 3: don't think that's a hot take, and people are gonna

284
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 3: hate it. I don't think it's hot either, but people

285
00:12:58,520 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: are gonna think it's hot at all.

286
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: So what do you all think about some of these breakouts?

287
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: So do you think it's a hot take? I don't know.

288
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: Debro doesn't Erickson you think it's a hot take. I

289
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: don't know.

290
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: No, I don't think it's a hot take. I guess

291
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: my spin on it is. I'm looking for the rookie

292
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 2: version of Rock Bauers, the rookie version of Samuel Port

293
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: Like looking for the late round tight end as supposed

294
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: to the tight end one I get. I want to

295
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 2: find the guy that we're talking about as Colston Lovelin

296
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: this year.

297
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why we've been spoiled the last couple of

298
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: years at tight end. We got take last year, Bride.

299
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: I will happily take that. But that's the thing. It's

300
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: like the last the trend the last couple of years

301
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: been really good for the titan position. I think where

302
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: the tight end landed, and the rookie class this year

303
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: doesn't make him super redraft exciting at least not you

304
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: know right away so that means we're just gonna be

305
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: stuck with all these super talented guys that have come

306
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: in the lead last two and three years, which is

307
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: I think a renaissance at the tight end position to

308
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: be honest, but again, we love to hear your thoughts,
