16
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,400

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: That's the voice of Scott Fish. I'm Paul Charge and

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: we want to talk through the final game of the

20
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: two season. This is our last time to like be forward,

21
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 1: looking forward and predicting what's going to happen as opposed to,

22
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: you know, reacting to last year, and you know we've

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: we've broken down like a thousand games. I think that's

24
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: high many games. I bet there's five hundred games in

25
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: a season. It depends on how many it's talking about.

26
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: Sixteen times. I'm talking about just last year sixteen times,

27
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: uh six, I believe sixteen times six. I was told

28
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: there will be no math sixteen times somebody I don't

29
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: know how figure out. Yeah, I'm gonna go about five hundred.

30
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: There's seventeen weeks in the season times sixteen games to

31
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: seventy two. Nice job. Yeah, oh see, I'm still in

32
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: the sixteen game schedule. Okay, alright, okay, all right, there

33
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: you go. Um let's let's talk to this game. And

34
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: we've got some fantasy angles for those that are better,

35
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: we have some betting angles. But more broadly, what do

36
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: you think it's gonna win? Okay, my head says that

37
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles should win. They are better at almost every level.

38
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: They are except for the quarterback position, and they're not

39
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: bad at the quarterbacks at the quarterback position. For some reason,

40
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: for some reason, I actually think the Chiefs are gonna

41
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: pull this one. Out. Was that reason be Patrick Mahomes

42
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: it is, Yeah, it is the best quarterback ever played,

43
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. It's it's watching the Eagles last week against

44
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: the forty Niners for like five straight drives, not actually

45
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: doing that much. They did a lot on the ground.

46
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: They couldn't get the passing game going, but also they

47
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: didn't really need to. I think I think it's possible.

48
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: And Jalen Hurts has not run as much since coming

49
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: back from injury. It's but that he hasn't had to

50
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: and he's got He's got an extra two weeks too. Yeah,

51
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: you get to see. I think my theory is and

52
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: I like him. I think his rushing is gonna be

53
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: a big, big part of this game. Jone Hurts. I

54
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: think there's no reason not to run him. I think

55
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: the shoulders healed by now. He didn't have to run

56
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: in the last two games because they were both blowouts.

57
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: Never had so they was able to protect it. I

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: think he I think it's game on for the running

59
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: version of Jalen Hurts in the Super Bowl. You'd imagine,

60
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: you'd imagine laid all out in the field. Well, yeah,

61
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: what are you saving him for at this point? Nothing?

62
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: It's your varsity Blues thirty minutes, to the end of

63
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: your to the rest of your life, for the rest

64
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: of your whatever it is. Yeah, I mean there's no

65
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: guarantee you get back right. Dan Marino never got back

66
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: row got right right. There's a lot of quarterbacks one

67
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: attempt and missed, and so I think the rushing is

68
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: going to be there. And Kansas City saw the third

69
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: most quarterback rushes during the year, and they gave up

70
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: the fifth most quarterback rushing yards. It certainly suggests that

71
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: a bunch of teams saw susceptibility right, and they weren't

72
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: even getting those rushes out of their own divisional game teams.

73
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: Derek Carr wasn't doing all that running, Justin Herbert wasn't

74
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: doing all that running. So I think I think there's

75
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: a real there's gonna be a real opportunity for Jalen Hurts.

76
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: By the way his his rushing line. If you're interested,

77
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: forty nine and a half, I know I saw that.

78
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: That's why I brought it up. I'm like, I think

79
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: I think that this is the game he can he

80
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: can get a little past. The same with a J. Brown.

81
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: He has been nothing in the playoffs. Is this is

82
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: a game where he finally steps up, You would think so, right,

83
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: You'd think so that he's been an underutilized asset and

84
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: maybe they haven't needed it. But even when the games

85
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: were close in the you know, before the first half,

86
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: instead of they just didn't go to a due a

87
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: couple of games ago as more of a Davanta Smith game,

88
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: he was maybe he was just locked up. Absolutely, So

89
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,239
Speaker 1: I'm on Eagles and I think it's gonna be Eagles

90
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: spot plays, like, yeah, there's something there that. So the

91
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: Eagles are the better running team. Offensively, they are the

92
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: better past, the defense the best and everything. It's just

93
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: defensive line, everything deals are better. Almost another reason why

94
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: I thought Sirian he should have been like six than

95
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: the head coach. Their team is just so so good,

96
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: so well rounded. Howie Roseman has done an amazing job.

97
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: But it helps. It helps a lot when your quarterbacks

98
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: on his rookie deal, you know, and you know, good

99
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: for him for being able to maximize that and bring

100
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: in guys like James Bradberry and domin con Sue and

101
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: you need to sign him and um Hassan Reddick and

102
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: you know all the you know, all the you know,

103
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: all the incredibly all the all the you know, great

104
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: signings that Howie Roseman did I think the best play

105
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: from a betting standpoint is Kenneth Gainwell receiving. It seems

106
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: to have been every week of the playoffs, seem talked

107
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: about this. Yes, yeah, he's smashing numbers every every every

108
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: single week of the playoffs so far. So his first

109
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: understand this. No other running back catches a pass that offense.

110
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders has one catch since Christmas, Boston Scott has

111
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: two catches since Thanksgiving. We know that he can get

112
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: but they never So if you think that Kenneth game,

113
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: if you think the Eagles are going to have one

114
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: completion to a running back in this game, well there's

115
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: your Kenneth Gainwell ten yards right there. Yeah. Uh. And

116
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Kansas City gives up the most running

117
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: back receptions for the second most running back receiving yards,

118
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: it's a lot. Well let me tell you exactly how much.

119
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: It is six and a half receptions per game for

120
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: forty six yards. I I would I might actually take

121
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: the under on both of those for what the Eagles

122
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: get in this game, but probably enough for games to

123
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: go over. I need, I need ten yards, eleven yards.

124
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: They hit the overt and they give up forty six,

125
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: so they can give they can be half as good

126
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: and I can still double gain Well's number on this.

127
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: Thank you, by the way to refrigerator Perry. Right now

128
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: we have Super Bowl player props everywhere. Didn't that become

129
00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: a thing after his touchdown? And yeah, speaking of gain Well,

130
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,679
Speaker 1: I've got a buddy Mitch Moss who has he's bet

131
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: gain Well as m v P. You want to guess

132
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: what the odds are, It's gonna be ridiculous because we

133
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: watched Jeames White have three touchdowns in a Super Bowl,

134
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: and not because Brady threw him the three, but not

135
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: only through him. I think it was two rushing, one receiving, maybe,

136
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: but maybe it was. Maybe it's the other, maybe it

137
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: was the other way. But still, what do you think

138
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: the odds are? And he had the game winning touchdown,

139
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: still couldn't get it? Um, I don't. I don't even

140
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: have a Gainwell would have been the m v P

141
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: two games ago when they rolled, when he rolled up

142
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: the hundred and twenty rushing yards and chipped in a

143
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: few receiving yards on top of it, it's worth a

144
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: few bucks. I don't think it happens, probably not, I

145
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: really I don't. I don't see much of a path

146
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: outside of the quarterbacks in this one. But five bucks

147
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: into I could see a Kelsey if he has some

148
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: kind of monster game, but he could I can't. I

149
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: can't imagine he's taking away from Homes, but I could

150
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: see it happening. But where else is Mahome's gonna go?

151
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: You got so Judy's running around practice like a wild man.

152
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: I know Judo's hurt, Tony's hurt, Um and the other

153
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: receivers aren't very good. And then you know the Eagles

154
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: have got Darius Slay on the outside, They've got James

155
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: Bradbury and the outside in the middle, they've got a

156
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: Vonte Maddox for slot receiver stuff. It feels like there

157
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: could be a dozen targets to Travis Kelsey. Yeah it

158
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: could be. I think it's yeah, extremely possible. I think

159
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: that's the outside shot outside of the quarterbacks. By the way,

160
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: how bad do you feel for Melvin Gordon sitting there

161
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: on the Chiefs practice squad. He's such a good career,

162
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: well decent career this long, and he's he'll get to

163
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: watch it, but at least he gets there, right, he

164
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: gets to experience, and he just won't be active. I

165
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: honestly think for playoffs we we need to expand, expand

166
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: the rosters, have the practice squad players. Imagine if we

167
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: saw what we saw an NFC championship game in the

168
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, like, just just let everyone suit up for

169
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: those games. Come on, why not? They should be able

170
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,599
Speaker 1: to be in uniform. Um, what do you think my

171
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: Homes does here? His line is two? Oh man, I

172
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: was gonna go to eight. Just off top of my head.

173
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: The Eagles's played. The Eagles have played nineteen games, Eighteen

174
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: of them have been under two yards eight out of nineteen,

175
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: I think, well, just the past fresh alone, but no one,

176
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: no one has a better yards over expected when when

177
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: the play breaks down, then Mahomes. That's he's so good

178
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: at that. Yeah. Um maybe like literally the best to

179
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: ever play the game. Yeah. I saw. I saw a

180
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: graph of it and his his line on the top

181
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: was like it was like probably a third longer longer

182
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: than was like abody else was like of him. Um,

183
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: so I think that passers is gonna get to him,

184
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: But they are so good defensively. Uh that those those

185
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: defensive backs you've already mentioned a couple of times. I

186
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be able to hold him down slightly. Um.

187
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs are gonna need much more of

188
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: a balanced offense than this one. The Eagles didn't face

189
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: many high end quarterbacks this year. Not their fault, it's

190
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: just how the schedule worked out. Faced a lot of

191
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: backups they did, They faced, They faced a lot of

192
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: the Davis this week. Have you ever seen a team

193
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: this upset after aren't they? I get it? But man,

194
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: they have you know, they're like, you know, we would

195
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: have won if our quarterback had stayed healthy or whatever.

196
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know, but I don't think so. The

197
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: way that that game was so onside, But I just

198
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: don't know. Because they could didn't have a quarterback who

199
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: could pass them all, so you know, it makes it

200
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: the game pretty easy. Yeah, I still don't think they

201
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: would have won, But I get it. I understand it.

202
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: UM get this Eagles. The average passing game against the

203
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: Eagles by yards when I guess one hundred seven parts

204
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: with the average passing game against the Eagles low, but

205
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: that's absurd low. And then I ground up the numbers

206
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: even more on average and really only one one guy

207
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: excuse us, or would have been a much bigger number.

208
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: On average. Quarterbacks through for twenty four fewer yards than

209
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: their season long average against the Yeah, so I think,

210
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: I just I don't. I don't know that Mahomes can

211
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: grind out enough with Kelsey to make up for what

212
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna lose from what. I don't what I think

213
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: these injured wide receivers, with these tough matchups are going

214
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: to give them. What do you what do you think

215
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: about the Chiefs running game? And this is a way

216
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: you can beat the Egals? They're like four point six

217
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: yards per specific people. Because I don't like Cily just

218
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: I don't like the thought process. Is that it sounds

219
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: like Ronald Jones is going to get get a few touches,

220
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: and it sounds like and is definitely gonna play, which

221
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: is going to be annoys everybody for you know, you

222
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: know what, I bet, I bet he doesn't do any

223
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: you don't think so they got such a good thing going,

224
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: you know what, his last two games he was healthy,

225
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: he had barely any snap. That's that's what I'm saying.

226
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: That's I think it picks up right where they left up.

227
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think Lyde is even a factor

228
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: here honestly, just then he's not. Yeah, absolutely, he's a

229
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: running back. C H just don't know what he is.

230
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: He's a first round draftick and I've been bitterly hurt

231
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: by this one over the years. Um, but you know,

232
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: then they've also got Jerick McKinnon. Obviously he was quieter

233
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: in the last game, but you know over the last

234
00:12:52,559 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: whatever six seven game recently, which is annoying that that

235
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: that part annoys you in particular. Um, if I were

236
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: I got asked if I don't like Mahomes, is there

237
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: a receiver in particular I don't like? And when I

238
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: say don't like, I mean just based on the betting

239
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: line yards for Mahomes. Yeah, if you think he's going

240
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: to be more, who's the receiver? I could couple that

241
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: with Juju is sitting at forty one yards, Yeah, which

242
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: is a weirdly high number for a guy who hasn't

243
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: topped that line in five straight games and eight of

244
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: the last time. I would not bet on that. And

245
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: you know he's got the knee injury that could limit him.

246
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: He could be a decoy. He could re injure. There's

247
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: a lot, there's so many reasons to take the under juju.

248
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: It's weird because in the offense in the preseason, they

249
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: had him going deep, and early in the season they

250
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: had him with more some more deep routes. But then

251
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: they just shifted him back to what Pittsburgh was doing

252
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: with him. And he does those little out it's eight

253
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: ten yards. He's gonna need a bunch of those too

254
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: to hit that. I don't see that happening. I think

255
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: you're right. I wanted to good break and I've got

256
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: I've got a couple of odds and ends questions I

257
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: want to ask you that don't relate to the Super Bowl.

258
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: So is there anything else super Bowl related you want

259
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: to touch on? I don't think so. I'm looking for

260
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: this in Dallas, Goddard. I feel like we're waiting for

261
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: the big game. This could be the big game. We'll talk.

262
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: I've got a couple of other odds and ends, fantasy

263
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: odds and ends for you coming up in a second

264
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly, Scott Fish. I asked this

265
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: question to Matt Harrison last week, and I want to

266
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: ask you to This is very dynasy. You know you're

267
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: you are you might go to Dynasty guy. Well, and

268
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: so is Matt, So don't I'm not playing favorites. UM.

269
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: I asked him what I think is a very tough question,

270
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: and I raised this actually on Cafe n on Friday

271
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: in a different non fantasy way. Should you sell high

272
00:14:54,680 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: on Justin Jefferson? Now here's the case. Case goes like this,

273
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is under contract for one more year. After

274
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: that total unknown who knows would give you back to,

275
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, some newer incarnation of Christian Ponder. Next we

276
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: don't know what's happening with his contract. You know, this

277
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: thing could turn ugly. Who knows, you know? Next thing,

278
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: we know he's in Houston. I mean, you know, you know,

279
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: I don't think the Vikings would certainly don't want to

280
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: get him out the door. But if they get to

281
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: some impass and the Vikings they think are sitting twenty

282
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: nine in money right now, right to make room for

283
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson's next contract is going to be it's going

284
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: to it's going to be a blood letting of veterans

285
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. Maybe Minnesota's not for that. UM and of these.

286
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: You know you always want to buy low and sell high.

287
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: You already bought low on Justin Jefferson based on wherever

288
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: you drafted him. This is the ultimate sell high most.

289
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if you name your price, you

290
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: might be the most coveted Dynasty Dynasty player that there is.

291
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: Name your price right now on Justin Jefferson and I

292
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: get it. I mean, I'm a guy who after the

293
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: two thousand six Ladadian Humlinson season traded him for Adrian

294
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: Peterson A bunch and a bunch of UM, So I

295
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: get that, I get this, I get the cell high um.

296
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: It really depends on your strategy and you make a

297
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: lot of great points, and it is absolutely a great

298
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: time to sell now on him. If you are in

299
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: a position you're not going to run next year, you know,

300
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: if you're if you want to get a bunch of

301
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: young assets, and maybe you can, maybe you can get

302
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: a Bijen Robinson and some other stuff. I'll be honest,

303
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: bi Gen Robinson is probably gonna be a first or

304
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: second round draft pick at this point. The way the

305
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: way people are, you know what's gonna happen. How many

306
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: years there has the top running back you know been

307
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: a legit thing in Dynasty so many Uh, Bijon Robinson

308
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: could drop to the end of the first round. Think

309
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: about him on Cincinnati or Kansas City or Minnesota if

310
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: we trade. Well, I saw that stuff. I've been posting that. Yeah, well,

311
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: you know the Vikings sitting at twenty three and Cook's gone,

312
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: I believe because it was commun Madison's at UFA. I

313
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I think they'll cut cop. See if they

314
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: cut Cook, that's six mil we we had. We have

315
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: a cap head of six mil on that. I can

316
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: see that. I don't know if what are we replace

317
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: them with ty Chandler and Kenny and uh just hope

318
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: Bijan drops or it's a deep class. I suppose we

319
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: can get Spears or something late um take Biggs b

320
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 1: maybe or something. I don't know, it's Spears hyper suddenly

321
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: off the it's gone crazy. Robinson. Robinson's gonna fall into

322
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: some spot where he's gonna be very sexy. There's there's

323
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: a zero chance, but Bejean Robinson is going to be

324
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: the first player taken in drafts. Just imagine if he

325
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: falls to the Chiefs or the Bengals and mixings out

326
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: of the picture, which he might be then see I

327
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: really I really won one. I'd be I am a

328
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: Jefferson Kelsey Chase top three and like then a small

329
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: gap guy. But where I was going with the Jefferson

330
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: should you sell high? I'm not that guy any more

331
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: In dynasty nowadays, especially if you're in a younger league,

332
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: the average dynasty league is shrinking how many years they

333
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: last before they fold. People are bailing on dynasty leads

334
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: quicker than they ever were before. And that's why they

335
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: should play an empire league. Yeah, and uh I I

336
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: because so many people are trying for that young, sexy

337
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 1: roster and let's build it over a long time and

338
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: it never gets realized. I have gone to win now

339
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: because you're only facing half the league. Half the half league. Yeah,

340
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 1: the half of the other half the league is building

341
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: this young roster the door. If you play win now,

342
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: you have winning now. It does so I'm not that guy.

343
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm not selling Jefferson. I'm going to play him out

344
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: for this next year or two and see how it goes.

345
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: All right, I got one more sell high candidate for you, Yes, Austin, Sure,

346
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: I will say what was later when I went out

347
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: on the offensive line this year, so they were kind

348
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: of hurt this year on the offensive line for the

349
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: rushing production was troubling. His age is and he's not old.

350
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: He is getting up there a little bit, yep, And

351
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: he has consistently said he wants another running back in

352
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: that backfield and he wants to share the duties. He

353
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: wants to you know, he knows it's not good for fantasy,

354
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: and he's a fantasy guy, but I think he also

355
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: knows it's not good for his He wants, yeah, split back,

356
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: and he wants to win. You know, if we saw

357
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: his efficiency earlier in his career with Gordon there, like,

358
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: I think he wants that back. So I wouldn't be

359
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: surprised if they keep trying to plug that hole. All right,

360
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: So what can I expect if I were to trade

361
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: away both Justin Jefferson or Austin Ekeler? What is a

362
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: fair return? The problem with Eckler in the Dynasty realm

363
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: is people look at age and usage so highly or

364
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: so you know, they look at Yeah, they're very aware

365
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: of it. That Eckler, He's going to fetch you a

366
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: pretty meaty sum if you're trying to if you're doing

367
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: it to a win. Now, guy, I'd be much more

368
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: keen to trade him than Jefferson. You couldn't get one

369
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: one for You couldn't get one one b John Robinson

370
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: for Austin Ekeler you might be able to I doubt it, though,

371
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: I doubt it. I doubt it. So what can you

372
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: get where it's what's Heckler worth? Yeah, you're you're looking

373
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: at You're probably looking at a multiple piece deal where

374
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: you're getting maybe a first round pick and a player

375
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 1: that's less than Austin's caliber. And if you're trading in

376
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,719
Speaker 1: dynasty and you're trading Neckler, then probably means you're not

377
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: trying to win this next year. You're looking at a

378
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: younger you're hoping for a younger wide receiver and uh,

379
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: you know, some kind of draft pick that's probably what

380
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: you're hoping for. And I don't know how you're going

381
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: to get it that we're talking about in a LaVey

382
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: Wilson type and then hopefully add a draft pick or

383
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: two do it to try to try to make it happen. Now,

384
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: let's talk about Uh, let's talk about Justin Jefferson. What

385
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: is should my asking price for Justin Jefferson be multiple

386
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: firsts at least, right, Yeah, I mean, and by the way,

387
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: I don't want the back of the first round first.

388
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 1: I want the top of the first round, you know.

389
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 1: I want to you know, pick one to three this

390
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: year and next year. Yeah, and probably a player. Just

391
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: the pure hit rates on even first round picks in Dynasty,

392
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: there's you're not You're you're justin Jefferson's caliber in production.

393
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: You're not trading it without multiple first and a player too. Yeah,

394
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: it's you just don't. All right, thanks for checking in.
