Boy Dane Martinez speaks the spitting Statisian, And 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.560 you are listening to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.320 Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Of course, shout out to our 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.840 Sports Byline affiliates and the American Forces Radio Network helping 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.359 the service men and women out there win their leagues 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.640 and win that cash. Let me give you some news 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.520 and notes he around Major League Baseball before we get 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:41.120 into the starting line of for tonight. Mike Trout, best 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.920 player in baseball. It has been confirmed he is going 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.360 to have thumb surgery and he's gonna be out. It 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.880 looks like it's gonna be two months. That certainly puts 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:52.320 a damper on his m VP candidacy, and anybody, whether 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.400 you're a Fantasy owner or a fan of the Los 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:58.839 Angeles Angels of Anaheim, huge hole to fill with Mike 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.520 Trout being out of that Angel's lineup for it looks 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.600 like the next six to eight weeks. Gregory Polanco of 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.040 the Pittsburgh Pirates has a sprained ankle. It looked a 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.760 lot worse after he collided with that outfield wall in 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.480 Monday's game. He was carded off. It looked really bad, 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:14.920 but they're saying now that is only a sprained ankle 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.640 for Pirates outfield Gregory Polanco, Dustin Pedroia of the Boston 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.599 Red Sox. He's headed to the ten day disabled list 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.240 because of a wrist injury as well. So the Red 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.440 Sox offense will have a little blow there without their 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:31.240 heart and soul second baseman Dustin Petroia. And as I 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.039 mentioned at the top of the hour, in case you 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.400 have not heard, the suspensions have come down from the 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:42.640 brawl in San Francisco yesterday picture Strickland. Hunter Strickland will 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.839 get six games suspended and Bryce Harper will be suspended 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.240 for four games. And it's very interesting. Now You've got 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.760 Mike Trout and Bryce Harper that are gonna be out 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.360 for you know, probably this week at least. Who will 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.960 be the number one spot on the player Raider when 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:58.720 we go to next week? Will be gold Schmidt? Will 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.880 it be judged? Will it be a guy like Charlie Blackman, 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.279 who I mentioned to you guys yesterday is leading the 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.800 league in r B I S and doing it from 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.720 the leadoff spot. However, I digress. What we do here 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.240 is hold ourselves accountable, because that's what I do. Okay, 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.000 I'm not just giving you random advice and then you 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.120 know saying that, oh I killed it. No matter what 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.640 I do, I hold myself as accountable. So last night 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:20.960 I told you there were two starters that I liked 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.400 they would Tehran and Stroman. Both of them wound up 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:28.000 getting quality starts and the win for their team. Stroman 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.200 in six innings, gave up only two runs, struck out 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.080 five as the Blue Jays went on and won seventeen 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.560 to two last night. And what I think is more 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.719 interesting Julio Tehran. I haven't talking about Julio Tehran and 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.159 his home road splits. How he has been getting lamb 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:45.440 basted in Atlanta in that new ballpark at sun Trust 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:47.960 within the r A over nine, But at home he 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.520 has been much better, excuse me, on the road, he's 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.680 been much better he was on the road. I told 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.200 you I liked him against that Angels lineup that did 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:58.080 not have Mike Trout, and he responded with a quality 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.119 start and a victory strike king out five and six 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:05.200 and a third innings pitched. So tonight you may ask 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:09.960 yourself self, who should I start tonight to win that cash? Well, 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.080 it's very interesting tonight tonight. I know a lot of 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.120 people are gonna be paying up for Chris Sale. Chris 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.080 Sale is eleven thousand seven hundred on fan duel. He's 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.320 got to be the chalk and I understand why. I mean, 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.880 the dude has been striking out people left and right. Um, 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.240 his e r A, his e ra A so far 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.320 this year has been you know, just around two. But 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.159 I have some words of caution. First of all, the 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:37.040 Chicago White Sox are actually decent against left handed starters, 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.479 which Sale is okay. Second of all, you probably remember 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.200 this and know this, but Chris Sale is returning to 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.479 face his former team. In those kind of matchups, I 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.520 never know which way it's gonna go through. The pitchers 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:50.880 have an advantage through, the hitters have an advantage because 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.360 they're familiar with the guys. Stuff like that. Will there 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.200 be any weird butterflies in the stomach? So for all 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.360 of those reasons, I am staying away from Chris Sale today. 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.360 I am not saying up the eleven thousand, seven hundred 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.800 for Chris Sale. There are places you can go, and 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.120 I think a lot of people are gonna go to 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:09.440 Jose Burials, who have been incredible, Who's been incredible lately, 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.160 He's had eight six hundred. My word words of caution though, 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:16.000 that Houston Astro's offense is no joke. Remember they put 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:19.400 up eleven runs in the eighth inning yesterday to uh 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.400 get a comeback victory against Minnesota. So I would not 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.720 throw anybody against that Houston offense. Here are the two 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.880 guys that I do like today. They are a good 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:34.000 hundred cheaper than Chris sale On FanDuel Okay. I like 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:39.320 Robbie Ray at hundred at the Pirates. Listen, I've been 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.600 on Robbie Ray all season long. I've been talking about 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.320 his k upside. I like this matchup. Remember Polanco is 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.560 a little bit banged up. He's one of their best bats. 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.280 And also the Pirates just are not scoring runs. They 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.800 are they are under four runs a game. The Major 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.680 League gaverage is four and a half runs a game. 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.400 The Pirates are actually third worst in the NL when 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.560 it comes to that, and they strike out, so I 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.680 have kind of in the middle of legal strikeouts. I 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:04.920 like Robbie Ray. He has been hot. He has that 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.280 upside when it comes to the strikeouts. I like Robbie 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.080 Ray at hundred. The other guy, and I can't believe 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.200 that this guy is even cheaper than Robbie Ray. But 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.920 at a hundred dollars cheaper on Fandel at ninety three hundred. 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:18.480 You can get Justin Verlander. I like Justin Verlander. Here's 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:22.080 why he's up against that Kansas City offense. Okay, I've 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.080 been telling you guys for a while, I fade this 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.760 Kansas City offense. Kansas City has scored a hundred and 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:30.280 seventy two runs so far this season. The second worst 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.000 in the a L is the Oakland A's at two 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.800 hundred and three. That is thirty runs more. And Justin 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.920 Verland their historically has done good against them, striking people out. 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.520 And he's facing Eric Scotland making his first major league start. 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.679 I think that means Verland there's in good shape to 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.120 potentially get a win. So we'll check in on that tomorrow. 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.440 We'll see if my calls of Ray and Verlander held 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.320 true and helped you win that cash. When we talked 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.760 about Bryce Harper though and this brawl, you know, I 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:57.640 was I was gonna talk about Bryce Harper a little 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.760 bit this week anyway, because he actually over the weekend 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.600 gave a little speech to the little leaguers and he 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.160 was talking about how it is not okay to lose. 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.080 We we have this kind of quote unquote what'sification of 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:12.160 America going on? Tell me, we're gonna play this clip 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.240 and then we're gonna hear I want to know what 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:16.559 you guys think. Do you think, um, what do you 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.960 think about the kind of reaction from people? And what 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.400 do you think about this idea of you know, not 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:25.600 keeping score participation trophies for everybody. First, let's hear what 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:27.720 Bryce Harper had to say when he was talking to 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.000 a group of Little leaguers. Danny Burns let a rip. 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:34.079 It's good because it's not as much as they might 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.960 tell you. Oh, it's okay, you guys lost, No Johnny, 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:44.280 no participation trophies. Okay, first place only that come on, 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.520 So there we have it. You know, he was saying, 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:51.840 no first place only, no participation trophies. And and here's 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:56.199 the interesting part. There was rounds of applause in the background. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.920 And if you see the video, it is kids that 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.560 are sitting listening to him. It is parents in the 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:05.080 background being like, yeah, that's what I'm talking about. So 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.760 I think it's kind of interesting. I think it's kind 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:11.040 of interesting that a that the parents were clapping for that. 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:12.439 If you're in the league, you know, and they're giving 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.480 out the participation trophies. But also I think it speaks 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.920 to the intensity of Bryce Harper, you know, and how 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:20.400 he would come out there and you know, charge the 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:24.760 mound and whatnot. But also you know, this is really 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.000 happening all over the place. We're not keeping score. The 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.240 trophies go to everybody. Is that's something that we really 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.880 want to keep on with? I I don't think so. Personally. 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.280 I like the spirit of competition. I think that these 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.280 kind of medals or first places earned, and then when 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.160 you work hard for it, it feels that much better 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:44.320 at the end. Then let me tell you something, Bryce 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:46.360 Harper is not the only athlete who does this. A 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.520 lot of a lot of athletes do this in their 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:53.600 own parenting. For example, Steelers linebacker James Harrison once took 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:57.640 his kids participation trophies away because he said, quote unquote, 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.959 everything in life should be earned. And I'm not about 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.280 to raise two boys to be men making them believe 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.840 that they are entitled to something just because they tried 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.920 their best. Because sometimes your best isn't enough, and that 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.160 should drive you to want to do better, not to 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.920 cry and wine until someone gives you something to shut 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.480 you up and keep you happy. That's what James Harrison 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:19.040 has to say. Also, another Steelers playing, former Steelers running 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:23.240 back D'Angelo Williams, says he tweeted about how he actually 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:27.199 took his daughter's participation trophy away from her and then 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.920 what she doing in response, She went and won the 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:33.120 next event at the like track and field competition that 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.320 was going on. Okay, you also have former Louisville basketball 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.280 coach Jeff Walace also talking about this, saying, you know, 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.880 right now, the generation of kids that are coming through 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.520 everyone gets a damn trophy. You finished last to come 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:46.520 home with a trophy? Are you kidding me? What is 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:49.400 that teaching kids that it is okay to lose? So 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.560 I think this is very interesting. Bryce Harper, you know, 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.560 balls to the wall all the time, He's running out groundballs. 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:57.480 He's a very intense guy. But I thought it was 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:01.200 interesting juxtaposed against him talk into the Little League kids 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:05.920 basically saying that participation trophies are the worst. I want 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:07.600 to get your guys thought on it. Also, I might 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.280 have to put up a pole question about that tomorrow. 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:12.520 But tonight our poll question is what part of that 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.640 brawl do you find most residents with the unwritten rules 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.600 of baseball? Was it Strickland waiting three years after their 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:22.160 playoff to drill Harper? Was it Harper charging the mound 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.199 with a helmet? Was it other teammates getting into the 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.400 brawl that they didn't know about. Or was it a 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.920 guy like Buster Posey standing there as catcher just letting 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:31.599 it all happen. That's what I want to know. We 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.920 gotta pull question up there right now. We're gonna check 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:36.920 in on that poll when we come back, and I'm 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.480 also I want to get the love doctor Donnie Burns 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:41.280 his thoughts in it because he's coaching those kids right 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:45.040 now in basketball. Is he of the participation trophy mindset? 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.800 Or that everything is earned and then when you earn 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.839 it it feels better. We're gonna ask Donnie Burns those questions. 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:52.280 We're gonna see what you guys have to say in 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.040 the poll all that when we come back here on 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:57.040 the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I'm 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.920 your boyd Dane Martinez Speeds the spitting Statistician. If you 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:01.559 want to comment on this, you can holler at me 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.200 at eight four four eight four three six seven nine 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.679 or follow on Twitter at Spitting Speeds at F and 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:22.320 T s Y Radio.

It's your boy, Dane Martinez, 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.199 Speeds and Spitting Statistician, and we're back here on the 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:34.920 Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We were 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.679 talking about Bryce Harper and the participation trop I mean, 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.840 we were talking about Bryce Harper in the brawl first 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:41.680 of all, right, and just to keep you guys posted 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:44.680 right now, we had that poll question up on at 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.079 F and T s Y Radio and at Spitting Speeds 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.560 where you can follow me on Twitter right now. Thirty 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.800 nine percent of you say that Strickland waiting three years 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:54.439 to beating him. We're kind of most in line with 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.679 the unwritten rules of baseball. Thirty three to say the 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:01.320 teammates joining the brawl, and then four percent each for 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.240 Harper throwing a helmet as he charged the mound and 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:10.160 for Buster Posey letting it happen. Um. Also also on Twitter, 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:11.920 I got a quick note shout out to j. A. 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:15.640 Shipley at d m g C. He's saying at spen 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:20.720 Speeds way to tell him Harper stop the Snowflake Society 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.520 about Bryce Harper and that story about you know, kind 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:27.160 of the participation trophies for all. So thanks to j A. 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:29.960 Shipley for hollowing at the show. Like I said, man, 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:31.880 you hollow at us. We get you on the show, 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.560 but I want to get my man Donnie Burns in there, 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.840 because don you coach a AU basketball. Right, So you 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:41.880 are in this exact situation where I mean your team dominated, right, 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.240 you won like the state championship, going to Nationals and 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.160 stuff like that. In the kind of tone and culture 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.000 that you're setting for your team, you know, is it 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.600 just like try the hardest you can and it's okay, 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.760 or is it like now we're out there to win. 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.960 What's your what's your take on this? Now? I'm kind 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:01.080 of electric kind of coach. I get pretty fired up 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:04.840 pretty easily, and I can have to agree with Harrison 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.800 and Bryce Harper in this. And the fact that as 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:11.080 you get older, i'd probably say in the I guess 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.560 ten to twelve range, that's when you kind of start 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:17.000 letting your kids know, hey, like that's good, you tried, 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.600 but you really want to win. Because I also do 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.080 camps with younger kids, it's kind of hard to do 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.960 it with a young young kids, but like the ten 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.320 to twelve range, that's when you kind of gotta be like, hey, 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:29.920 I know you did try. You gotta try harder though, yeah, 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.320 And I mean here's the thing, Like, it's a competitive 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:35.160 society we're in right now. Man, there's gonna be someone 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.320 trying to knock you off. There's someone to trying to 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.840 you know, trying to take me over as fantasy freestyle Donnie. 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:42.840 This someone who wants your job right now. You know, 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.600 you gotta work hard for what you get out here, 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:47.720 you know, at least that's the way I was brought up. 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:49.720 And to be quite honest, I was also brought up 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.040 that when you work for it and then when you 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:56.240 actually achieve it, that internal gratification is that much more. 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.480 Like if I if I, you know, coming up, if 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:04.200 I actually really really studied hard for a test and 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.720 then I got an A on that test, well then 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:10.560 it kind of mattered to me, right then it meant something, 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:12.880 whereas if I was just like man, whatever, and like 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.240 we gotta teach these kids out here that you know, 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.600 your work ethic matters. Trying hard, Yes, trying hard matters. 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.920 But you know, sometimes the ultimate result is important as well. 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:23.960 You know where else the result is important, and that's 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:27.000 in fantasy baseball. Okay, how would you feel if, no 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.960 matter where you placed in your DFS tournament, you didn't win, 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.160 You just got a trophy like everybody else. You wouldn't 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.680 want that, would you?

But I don't think the people that 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.800 are listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio network think about 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.840 it that way because they are looking to win their 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:30.920 leagues and win that cash. So let's keep it moving 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:32.600 and try and help him do that. We go to 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.440 NFL where this news and notes coming out of O 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:37.000 t a s al right. First thing I want to 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.520 tell you is that while there is nothing imminent, we 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:41.520 are hearing a lot of smoke. I think that will 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.920 be fire. In terms of Colin Kaepernick and the Seattle Seahawks. 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.240 Nothing has happened just yet, but everyone's saying that's a 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.000 great fit, and Pete Carroll is saying that, um, you 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:53.080 know that, Uh, he's definitely an option for them to 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.720 back up Russell Wilson. What we're also hearing out of 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:59.440 Los Angeles Todd Gurley's targets may drop in a new 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.560 offense by new coach Sean McVeigh. Okay, what they also 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:04.919 did is they brought in Lance Dunbar to be the 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:07.960 pass catching back. Now, remember McVeigh. In Washington, you had 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:11.280 guys like Matt Jones, Rob Kelly, but Chris Thompson played 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:15.399 a huge role, especially in PPR leagues, being that third 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:19.800 down back. Watch out for Lance Dunbar as the passing 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.800 down back for the Los Angeles Rams this year. You're 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:26.480 gonna have Todd Gurley downs one and two, but when 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.760 they're in passing situations, look out for Lance Dunbar. And 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:31.720 here's the thing, the Rams are gonna be behind the 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.440 lot and throwing the ball. I think Lance Dunbar is 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:39.080 a sneaky addition of fantasy football teams this year, especially 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:43.160 in PPR formats. Dorio green Beckham, I've reported this before, 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:45.760 maybe the odd man out in Philadelphia. Remember the Eagles 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:49.360 signed au Sean Jeffrey and Torry Smith. They're keeping Jordan Matthews. 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.240 They have yet to trade anybody inclusing Nelson Aghaloor. You 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.600 got zach Ertz there as well. You got Darren Sprowles, 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.280 who gets the targets as well. Looks like Dorio green 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:01.200 Beckham maybe long for making that roster. In Jacksonville, Jack's 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:04.120 tight end Marcedes Lewis is looking to get more targets 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:06.200 this year. Remember he's thirty three years old. But they 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:09.760 traded away Julius Thomas. They signed Michael Rovera. It looks 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.080 like Mercedes Lewis will be a top the depth chart 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:15.320 in tight end. They're also tight end depth chart news 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:19.400 Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry they're saying will 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.560 be the quote unquote main tight end this season. They're 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:24.560 projecting him to probably have the most targets and the 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:28.280 most snaps. What does that mean for Antonio Date the Gates, Well, 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:30.600 the future Hall of Famer they are saying, will be 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:34.120 quote unquote saved for third down work and red zone work. 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.800 I gotta tell you something that hurts both of these 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.360 guys values in my opinion. If Hunter Henry is gonna 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:41.159 be the main guy, but then they're gonna take him 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:42.320 out when they're in the red zone and he has 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:44.600 the opportunity to punch it in and score those points 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:47.320 on critical situations, that's looking like a kind of time 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.840 share a tight end for the Chargers. I like Hunter 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.040 Henry a lot, but not if they're gonna take him 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.360 off the field in the red zone. So, um, that's 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:56.920 a little bit around the NFL. We're gonna get deeper, 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.560 you know, as we move into late June in a 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:01.520 few weeks, so we're gonna start going deeper into our 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:05.200
