1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Today, it's a Fantasy Live edition of the Fantasy Football Podcast.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm Patrick Claybon. I'll be joined by Adam Rank and

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant. As Week one kicks off on Thursday, we'll

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: tell you which quarterback, running back, and wide receiver we'll

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: be ranked this time next week at number one, plus

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: which players do we think we'll get off to the

7
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: fastest starts this season?

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 2: Hey?

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 1: What's up every running off in the NFL Fantasy I'm

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: Patrick Clavon here kicking it on a Tuesday with Adam

11
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: Rank and Marcus Grant, who are both still not done

12
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,319
Speaker 1: drafting fantasy team this week ones on the way.

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: I got two more tonight, and I'm sure that there's

14
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 3: gonna be one that presents itself at some point over

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 3: the next couple of days.

16
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 2: Now I'm done.

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 4: I did have a surprise one pop up on Saturday evening, like,

18
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 4: oh no, hey, there's a draft.

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: That is why I kind of jump in and scramble.

20
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: But I'm okay, Yeah, I always love the surprise fantasy

21
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: football drafts. It's definitely not because we're in so many

22
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: leagues that we forgot.

23
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 5: People just literally.

24
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: Spring them upon us, and we're gonna spring some fantasy

25
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: notes and nuggets upon you as we get two.

26
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 5: The first chance for me to say this twenty twenty five.

27
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 3: The ones, the ones.

28
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: Let's project the players that will be top at their

29
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: position in Week one?

30
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 5: Who's your quarterback? Right?

31
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Jalen Hurts just so on Friday

32
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 3: I can sit here and be pretty confident I have

33
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 3: a fifty to fifty chance of at least being correct.

34
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 3: After the first game on Thursday, I do again. This

35
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 3: is one of the things that we go through with

36
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts every season is that people just continue to

37
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 3: disrespect him. I was guilty of this for a while,

38
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 3: where you just feel like you can't run for fifteen

39
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 3: touchdowns every season? Can he know? He absolutely can? Probably

40
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: absolutely will. I think this is one of the areas

41
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: where Kenny Clark will make a huge difference for the

42
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys. But in Week one, with the Philadelphia Eagles

43
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 3: unveiling their banner against the dreaded Dallas Cowboys, I just

44
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: believe that Jalen Hurts is gonna have a monster game.

45
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 4: Oh, Jalen Hurts can have a monster game. If there's

46
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 4: another guy though, that can run for fifteen touchdowns.

47
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: He's probably Josh.

48
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 4: Allen because he's been Buffalo's goal line back since the

49
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 4: day he was drafted last year. Four overall QB one

50
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 4: finishes ten weeks as a top seven fantasy quarterback last year.

51
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 4: And I look at this game, I expected to be

52
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 4: a high scoring I expect both teams.

53
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: To go back and forth.

54
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 4: But while the Ravens can win without Lamar Jackson playing

55
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 4: at his peak, I don't know that the Bills can

56
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 4: win without Josh Allen being at his absolute best. So

57
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 4: I think he comes out firing in Week one and

58
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 4: I think he's your QB one.

59
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, two really good quarterback options in that game. Only

60
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: probably one gonna be playing in the Saints Cardinals game,

61
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: and that's Kyler Murray.

62
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 3: And as I.

63
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: Looked for a chance to confirm my priors on this,

64
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to see his historical success against Brandon Staley.

65
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't very good, but you will note that Brandon

66
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: Staley on that Rams defense had one of the best

67
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: players of all time, and he's not walking through the

68
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: super dorm door, and there's a lot of New Orleans

69
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: Saints that are not walking through as well. I think

70
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: Kyler gets in on the ground and has a decent

71
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: day through the air. And this isn't just like the

72
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: old Kingsbury cliff projecting the Cardinals to eventually fall off.

73
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: Kyler is a better quarterback at the start of the season.

74
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: So those are ones at QB.

75
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 3: Let's go to the running back position, right, I'm going

76
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: to go with Bucky Irving and this one last season

77
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 3: one of the dynamic rookies that we are on board with,

78
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 3: will continue it into this season. And now he's going

79
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: up against the Atlanta Falcons, a team that can be

80
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 3: pretty generous against opposing running backs, especially for running backs

81
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 3: who can catch the ball out of the backfield. Last season,

82
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: in his last game against the Falcons, Bucky had seven

83
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 3: receptions in that contest against the Falcons, The Falcons a

84
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: load allowed the most receptions to running backs in twenty

85
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: twenty four. They did make some improvements on the defense.

86
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: You don't necessarily want to say that, you know, nobody

87
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 3: improves or anything like that, but I have a really

88
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 3: great feeling about Bucky Irving and really do believe that

89
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: he's going to have not only a breakout season, but

90
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 3: a breakout that happens in Week one against the Falcons.

91
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 4: So while I don't think Saquon Barkley's follow up to

92
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 4: last year is going to be quite as.

93
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: Great, I do think he'll have some spike weeks. I

94
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: think this can be one of them.

95
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 4: Regardless of what Jerry Jones is saying, I'm not sure

96
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 4: that Kenny Clark is the piece to solve what was

97
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 4: one of the worst run defenses in the league last year.

98
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 4: I think this Eagles offense is going to get out quickly,

99
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 4: and I think especially in the second half, I think

100
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 4: game script is going to favor Saquon Barkley and the Eagles.

101
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 4: I think we'll see them run a lot. Plus, as

102
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 4: you mentioned, Rank, they're unfrilling the banner.

103
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: It's ring night.

104
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 4: It's a whole celebration to start the season. Remember last year,

105
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 4: you know they have to start the season overseas. I

106
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 4: do think that we're gonna see Saquon get up to

107
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 4: a quick start this year.

108
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: Another Kenny Clark mentioned on the show today. We're talking

109
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: about more Kenny Clark because he played for the Green

110
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: Bay Packers last year and in the first game against

111
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: the Packers. Jamier Gibbs had five point nine yards per

112
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,679
Speaker 1: carry in Week one of twenty twenty four, Jamir Gibbs

113
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: had seventeen Fantasy points on just fifteen touches. I think

114
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: his touches go up this year. I think Jamiir Gibbs

115
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: has a great season, and I think he starts that

116
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: great season here in Week one against the Green Bay

117
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: Packers in Lambeau.

118
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,119
Speaker 5: From there, we go to the wide receiver one.

119
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: It will be Travis Hunter.

120
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 5: Wow.

121
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 3: You know what the last time that we had a

122
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 3: wide receiver that was this highly anticipated in the NFL.

123
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 3: I think it was Randy Moss back in nineteen ninety eight,

124
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 3: and I remember having Randy Moss on my fantasy team.

125
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: I remember watching the Week one game I believe it

126
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 3: was against the Buccaneers we were at I do remember

127
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 3: being at the Imperial Palace watching this game, popping off

128
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: to a bunch of old heads being like, oh, this

129
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 3: Randy Moss is incredible. Everybody was dismissive. They're like, no,

130
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: that guy he played at Marshall, He's not gonna be good. Similarly,

131
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 3: I think that everybody is really looking forward to seeing

132
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: what Travis Hunter will do in Week one and before

133
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 3: we get a true chance to see what Liam Cohen

134
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 3: has in store. How defenses will adjust to him and

135
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: stuff like that. This is a perfect opportunity for him

136
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 3: to go out there have a Moss like performance. I

137
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 3: think Moss had close to one hundred yards. I know

138
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: he had two touchdowns in that game. I think Travis

139
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,559
Speaker 3: Hunter comes out a blazing in this first game against

140
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 3: the Carolina Panthers.

141
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 4: As somebody who drafted a lot of Travis Hunter, I

142
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 4: would love to see it. I'm gonna go a lot

143
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 4: more Chalky though, and give you ceedee lamb. Remember all

144
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 4: those things I just said a few moments ago about

145
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 4: Saquon Barkley and game script and the Eagles running the

146
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 4: football a lot, Well, sort of apply the opposite of

147
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 4: that to the Dallas Cowboys. We anticipate now that they're

148
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 4: gonna have to throw the football a lot. They were

149
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 4: already throwing it a lot, They're gonna have to throw

150
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 4: it even more so. I do see a scenario where

151
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 4: you see the Cowboys playing from behind in the second half.

152
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 4: It's gonna be Dak having to get.

153
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: The ball out a lot. We know CD's already a

154
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: target monster.

155
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 4: I think in Week one they especially showcase that ability

156
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 4: in an effort to try and stay close with the Eagles.

157
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: Well, if Ceedee Lamb is chalky or Marcus, I will

158
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: take the entire bottom of the board where the chalk

159
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: remnants of lived for centuries, and take Jamar Chase being

160
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: the wide receiver one against a Browns team where he

161
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: had touchdowns in both games, and the Cleveland Browns in

162
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four gave up more yards per target to

163
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: wide receivers than any other team. This coming into a

164
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five season where they're already dealing with injuries

165
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: in the secondary. So Chase is my wide receiver one.

166
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: Why don't we give the folks a tight end right

167
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: for week one?

168
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: Well, if that was chalky, this kendall our research. You

169
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 3: even know what chalk is when you went to school,

170
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 3: you didn't now? Okay, in any event, this is the

171
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 3: chalkiest of all chalk picks. They don't have chalk anymore.

172
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 3: I go as a professional racecord. It's all try e race.

173
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,679
Speaker 5: Cords, all that to the sidewalk chalks.

174
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,679
Speaker 3: That's okay, fair enough. I will say this, brock Bowers

175
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 3: is the easiest play for the tight ends this weekend.

176
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 3: If you look at it, he's literally he's not a

177
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: tight end. Let's be realistic. He's a slot receiver that

178
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 3: gets a tight end designation. And when you look at

179
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 3: the matchup against the New England Patriots, the slot position

180
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: was a spot where the Patriots struggled. Last year. They

181
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 3: allowed the sixth most receiving touchdowns to the slot. In

182
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, black Bowers had the third highest percentage

183
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: of routes run from the slot. It's so ridiculous, but

184
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: it is a cheat cut in fantasy football, and you

185
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 3: know what, you should go out and take advantage of it.

186
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: Brock Bowers will be the tight end one, although I

187
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 3: do have high hopes for Evan Ingram this week.

188
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: All right, you can pick one defense the entire league

189
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: markets so you got well rank mentioned Evan Ingram.

190
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take the defense on the team that Evan

191
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 4: Ingram plays for. It's the Denver Broncos. I mean, here's

192
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 4: the thing about the Broncos defense.

193
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: It's good. You look at them statistically.

194
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 4: Last year they ranked third in scoring defense, they were

195
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 4: first in sacks, they were seventh in takeaways. They just

196
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 4: get after you in any way they can imagine. And

197
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 4: this week they get to face an offense that's mid

198
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 4: Those aren't my words, those are cam Ward's words. He

199
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 4: said that about them during the preseason. This is a

200
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 4: team that last year they were twenty seventh in scoring,

201
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 4: they had the most giveaways, they had the fifth most sacks. Now,

202
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 4: I do expect some improvement from the Titans. I don't

203
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 4: expect that improvement to take hold immediately, and they start

204
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 4: with a really difficult test against this Broncos defense.

205
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: So those are our predictions for Week one's top players.

206
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: If you want to make some more predictions, you probably

207
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: helped to get news and information.

208
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 5: So let's get that to you with.

209
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: In case you missed it, because we did reveal the

210
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: top ten players of twenty twenty five as voted by

211
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: their peers, Pats of Tan, Justin Jefferson, Miles Garrett, Darrenck, Henry,

212
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes at five, Jamar Josh Lamar, and

213
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: then Saquon Barkley the number one player. Congratulations to Saquon

214
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: a great season, he wins the Super Bowl, gets a

215
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: chance to be the top player.

216
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 5: But the question is we.

217
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: Love Bijon on this show, Butjon comes On has spend

218
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: time with us on Fantasy Show, record taking Bijon over

219
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: Saquon after all he.

220
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 5: Did last year.

221
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 3: Well, we regret it. You know, it's very you need

222
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 3: to make a choice. This is one of the things

223
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 3: that I've been bemoaning for the entirety of the summer,

224
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: is that you eventually, at some point have to make

225
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 3: a decision whether you're taking Saquon or you're taking with

226
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: Jehn Robinson. And I will tell anybody who took Saquon Barkley,

227
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 3: don't feel bad about it. I think you should really

228
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 3: celebrate it. He truly is, according to his peers, and

229
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 3: according to those people with eyes, the best running back

230
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 3: in the NFL. And again you can look at they

231
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: go back and they look at these statistical history of like, hey,

232
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 3: running backs who have rushed for two thousand yards, take

233
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: a step back, or guys who are on the cover

234
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 3: of mad and take a step back, guys who hang

235
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 3: out at the Wiener Circle or whatever it is, and

236
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: whatever it is, it doesn't matter. My point is is

237
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: that Saquan is a great player. If you're sitting there

238
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: drafting and you're playing this game where you're afraid of injuries,

239
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 3: I hate to break it to you, every player who

240
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 3: steps on the field has a one hundred chance of injury.

241
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 3: Just draft great players. If you preferred Saquon Barkley over

242
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 3: Bejean Robinson, you should not feel bad about that at all.

243
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 4: Look, I definitely made the point multiple times about the

244
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 4: two thousand yard thing. But in the end, I understand

245
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 4: why Saquon's ADP is what it was. I get he's phenomenal,

246
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 4: he had a great season. I totally understand that he's

247
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 4: in a good offense. It's the thing we wanted for

248
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 4: him for years when he's with the Giants. That being said,

249
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 4: I had the number one pick in my home league

250
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 4: draft over the weekend.

251
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: I took Jean Robinson.

252
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 4: I think there's still a lot there that he has

253
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 4: yet to tap into. I think the Falcons are going

254
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 4: to go heavy using him this year. So that was

255
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 4: the choice I made. But look, if somebody decided to

256
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 4: go the other direction, it really is hard to find

257
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 4: fault with that decision.

258
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like Grank said, you do have to ultimately

259
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: make a choice in the top three between one of

260
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: these guys in general, and ultimately it's what you prefer

261
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: in terms of these players, But the long term projections

262
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: looking back fifty or sixty years with two thousand. Yeah,

263
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't have anything to do with what saque A

264
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: lot of them.

265
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 3: Still finishes RB ones though, Yeah, I think like half

266
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 3: of them. Four of them at least finishes. RB one's

267
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 3: Chris Johnson, I think, was the RB eight the year

268
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 3: after a rush for two thousand yards. So there is

269
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: president of these guys still bouncing back. Saquon Barclays. With

270
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 3: a great organization, a great team, with something to play for,

271
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be just fine. The most

272
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 3: interesting part of that list, though, Patrick Mahomes was number five,

273
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 3: because when we draft quarterbacks and fantasy like everybody sleeps

274
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 3: on Patrick Mahomes where all the players are sitting there

275
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 3: telling us Patrick Mahomes is still one of the best

276
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 3: in the game.

277
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 6: As opposite right side one Tyron Williams lead block five

278
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 6: run right pylon touchdown, n Williams touch down away.

279
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 3: From the shotgun. Look he left, grows right receiver.

280
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 6: Screeds cost block touchdowns looking a coup touch downway and.

281
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: I'll fantasy a lot of time for more or less

282
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: presented by draft Kings picked six the Texans and the

283
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: Rams across the street at so far, Let's discuss these

284
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: Rams Marcus.

285
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at a Pookinakua.

286
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with less than the zero point five

287
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 4: receiving touchdowns just because he hasn't really been.

288
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: A touchdown monster.

289
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 4: Gets a lot of catches, a lot of yards, but

290
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 4: averaging one touchdown every twenty nine point six targets so

291
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 4: far in his career. But on the other side, with

292
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 4: Tyrone Williams, I'm gonna go more than the sixty six

293
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 4: and a half rushing yards. He had had more than

294
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 4: that in two twenty of his twenty seven career starts.

295
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 4: He is absolutely a monster when it comes to opportunities.

296
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 4: We know Sean McVay likes to be a one running back.

297
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 4: Coach Kyri Williams, I think it's a lot of opportunity.

298
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 4: Plus with the Matt Stafford factor, maybe they want to

299
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 4: sort of limit his exposure as he's sort of dealing

300
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 4: and recovering from this back issue. But on the other side,

301
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 4: nicocollins more than seventy seven and a half.

302
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 2: Receiving yards, I do like the more in that one.

303
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 4: He had more than ad In seven of the twelve

304
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 4: games he played last year. Ten different receivers had seventy

305
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 4: eight or more receiving yards against the Rams last year.

306
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 2: Plus no Joe Mixon.

307
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 4: We're not sure what his situation is or when he's

308
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 4: going to play, but it could cause him to be

309
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 4: a little bit more pass heavy. I don't think the

310
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 4: Texans really want to have to lean on Nick Chubb

311
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 4: or their running backs this early, so that could mean

312
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 4: we see a lot more CJ. Stroud early and off

313
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 4: in going in the direction of Nico Collins.

314
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,880

Speaker 3: Overall.

321
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 5: NFL dot Com folks are.

322
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: Running over and they finished they draft, and they're picking

323
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: up some a lot of running backs off the waiver wire.

324
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 5: Nick Chubb, Jerome Ford, Braylan Allen, Oli.

325
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: Gordon, and Christian Kirk free agents, but a lot of

326
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: folks this time next week will be available on the

327
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: waiver wire. And remember that Jim Caviezel show where he

328
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: got the newspaper before things actually happened. That's what we

329
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: want to do here as we're predicting the waiver wire

330
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: targets that everybody's going to be running to get next week.

331
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 4: Who's yours, Marcus Well, when thereway ranking of guys named Woody,

332
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 4: there's the cowboy doll from toy Story, There's Haroldson, And

333
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 4: by the end of week one, we're gonna add Woody

334
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 4: marks to that list. Because you saw Nick Chubb there

335
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 4: at the top of that list of guys that people

336
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 4: are picking up. Yes, he's going to be the RB one,

337
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 4: but I think the Texans want to be very cautious

338
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 4: with a guy who's still getting a little bit older,

339
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 4: but more importantly, has had a couple of major knee

340
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 4: injuries in his career. They don't really him all that

341
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 4: excited about giving Damian Pierce much more opportunity. But Marx

342
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 4: was impressive during the preseason. The coaches raved about his

343
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 4: past protection skills, which means he can get on the field,

344
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 4: especially in third down situations, and one of the things

345
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 4: he did very well during his collegiate career over a

346
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 4: couple of different schools was catch the football. So we

347
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 4: could have a lot of upside and I think by

348
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 4: the end of the week a lot more people will

349
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 4: know the name Woody Marks. Another name that I like

350
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 4: this week and I think is going to be very

351
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 4: interesting is oh, that's not that guy.

352
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,239
Speaker 3: I thought you were going to launch into Woody Woodpecker,

353
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 3: and I was remiss and not saying it. However, Rashid

354
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 3: Shahed is somebody who I think a lot of people

355
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 3: were fading during draft season because you would see a

356
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 3: lot of individuals looking at the draft board and being like,

357
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 3: I'm not taking Avin Kamara, I'm not taking Chris Alave.

358
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 3: Rashid Shahed might have actually been the safest because he's

359
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 3: kind of a pop player. Anyways, However, as the world

360
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 3: is fading the New Orleans Saints this week, here comes

361
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 3: rank picking. Not only the Saints win this game, but

362
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 3: I do believe that people will be rushing out on

363
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 3: the waiver wire and be like, oh, maybe Rashid Shaheed

364
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 3: is actually good and we should get it Kellen Moore.

365
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 3: We'll find a way to get this guy open. I'm

366
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 3: really confident of that. So I think that waiver wire,

367
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 3: when we do the waiver when the waiver wire, Hot

368
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 3: Sauce is allowed to come back, and I'm been smirching

369
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 3: Arizona's Mexican food and all that stuff. We will be

370
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 3: talking about Rashid Shahed.

371
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, whenever he's on the field, he's catching deep passes.

372
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: It's been staying healthy and consistent, which has been a

373
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: lot of the issue for the Saints' wide receivers. And

374
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: there was an issue staying healthy and consistent in the

375
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: first edition of Amari Cooper as a Raider, and now

376
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: he's back, and with some questions surrounding and some uncertainty

377
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: surrounding Jacoby Myers, there's also huge name value with Amari

378
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: Cooper where if he gets into the end zone with

379
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: a Geno Smith pass, yeah, it's gonna get hot.

380
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 5: On the waiver wire.

381
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: So perhaps go ahead and get in there early, before

382
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: you know you give up on some waiver wire priority.

383
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 5: Let's get back around. Who else are we looking at? Marcus?

384
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 4: I was so excited I almost jumped the gun here

385
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,479
Speaker 4: to talk about Troy Franklin because he's the guy that

386
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 4: has been talked up a lot by Sean Payton. And

387
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 4: now I usually try to take things Sean Payton says

388
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 4: with a grain of salt, because you know, sometimes.

389
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 2: He likes to lead us astray a little bit.

390
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 4: But I think we saw some flashes of Franklin last year,

391
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 4: plus the Broncos are really trying to figure out who

392
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 4: is the number three target behind Courtland Sutton and Evan Ingram.

393
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 4: Right now it's Franklin and Pat Bryant sort of battling

394
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 4: for that opportunity. I think Franklin's gonna get the first

395
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 4: crack at it, especially working out of the slot. So

396
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,719
Speaker 4: I think this is an opportunity for bo Nicks to

397
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 4: find him. I think he has a couple of big plays,

398
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 4: and I think he's.

399
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: Gonna be that guy.

400
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a nice sort of bench spot, potentially

401
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 4: a flex option in deeper leads for you.

402
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 3: You know, I'm gonna go with Ray Ray McCloud of

403
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 3: the Atlanta Falcons and another opportunity for me to fade

404
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 3: the public. I'm going with the Falcons in this game.

405
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 3: And I do believe that Michael Pennix is going to

406
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 3: come out throwing the football. And now obviously everybody knows

407
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 3: about Drake London. He went in the second round third

408
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 3: at the latest. Kyle Pitts is a you know, a

409
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 3: topic a conversation in the fantasy community. But with an

410
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 3: injury to my guy, Darnell Mooney. I think that Raray

411
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 3: McLeod gets a real chance here. He's gonna get into

412
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 3: the end zone, probably with the football too, and he's

413
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 3: going to be setting the waiver wire ablaze because people

414
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 3: are gonna want to have shares of this Falcons offense.

415
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Falcons offense that was very productive against the

416
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: Bucks last season, of an offense that got better as

417
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: Michael Pennock Junior became the starter. We got more discuss

418
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: here on NFL Fantasy Live.

419
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 5: Still ahead. You might have questions about some mid round.

420
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 7: Receivers, but we think you're going to get an answer

421
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 7: right out of the gate as soon as the season

422
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 7: starts from a few of them are early season predictions

423
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 7: coming up next on NFL Fantasy Live.

424
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,360

438
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: Man went on, and the Commanders would go on and

439
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: do just that on their way to the NFC Championship.

440
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,760

Speaker 1: on his new deal.

443
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 5: Why was he worth it?

444
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: He's averaged the fourth highest air yards per target among

445
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: top receivers last year.

446
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 5: If you're worried about a slow start, don't.

447
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: The Giants gave up almost sixty percent completions on deep

448
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 1: passes last season, the highest rate in the entire Next

460
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,359

461
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: and the coach is gonna say things, and ultimately it's

462
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: gonna mean nothing. But in fantasy football it can mean

463
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: that you can sell high by low with regard to

464
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: how players start.

465
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 5: So let's start with the fast starts. Who is going

466
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 5: to have a fast start in twenty twenty five.

467
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Alvin Kamara. I just talked about

468
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 3: this a moment ago because everybody's fading the Saints, but

469
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 3: I really do believe that they come out and they

470
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 3: take it to the Arizona Cardinals in Week one against them,

471
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 3: because who else are the Saints going to feature in

472
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 3: this game like he would last season and led all

473
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 3: running backs in targets and receptions and all these things.

474
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 3: He is one of the most prolific players in fantasy football.

475
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 3: And it's funny too, because obviously people avoided him in

476
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 3: drafts because of the situation with the Saints. But if

477
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 3: he goes out there and has a great couple of weeks,

478
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 3: now he's somebody that you can flip somewhere around weeks five,

479
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 3: week six, because again, if this Saints season goes the

480
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 3: way that we think it could and it ends poorly,

481
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 3: Alvin Kamara might not be It would be one of

482
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 3: those things like, ah, he's got a back injury. As

483
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 3: they continue the March for Arch or whatever it is.

484
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 4: I'm throying Arch madness. I think that's the way we

485
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 4: should be going with this whole thing. I'm saying Mike

486
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 4: Evans gets off to a fast start this year, it's

487
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 4: less about the schedule for me and more about just

488
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 4: the situation around him. Right, No Chris Godwin to start

489
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 4: the year, No Jalen McMillan, Kate Atten. They're hopeful will play,

490
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 4: but he's been dealing with an injury late in training camp.

491
00:21:58,880 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 2: And in the preseason.

492
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 4: So it looks like it's going to be the Mike

493
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 4: Evans a Mecca Abuka show early on in the passing game.

494
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 2: Yes, Bucky every will be involved, certainly, no doubt. But

495
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 2: and I think this is one you just ride the wave.

496
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 4: If you drafted Mike Evans, you did it with the

497
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 4: thought that he's probably a wide receiver one for you.

498
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 4: So I think this is just really reinforcing your decision

499
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,479
Speaker 4: to draft him where you did. I think the upside

500
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 4: to this Patrick, too, is that I don't think we're

501
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 4: gonna have to wait until the final snap of the

502
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 4: regular season for Mike Evans to get over a thousand yards.

503
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 5: No, they're not risking it this year.

504
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: This is gonna be something that happens well earlier in

505
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: the season.

506
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 5: And good luck to Mike. I hope he accomplishes that.

507
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: I'll stay in Florida with Tuatungovailoa had a career high

508
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: in pass demps per game last season at thirty six

509
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: point three.

510
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 5: The Finns did struggle to get things going on the ground.

511
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: He had almost twenty four points per game against the division.

512
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: And this is purely a schedule related thing for me,

513
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: because three of the first four games are in the

514
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: division against the AFC East, and the opener is against

515
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: the new look Colts defense in Lucas Oil Stadium, where

516
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: the Finns speed might be a problem. And I think

517
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: this is actually going to be consistent. I don't think

518
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: this is something where you're gonna have to win stuo

519
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna fall off. I think you can trust to

520
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: it as this season goes on. But there are some

521
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: players we think might have some slow starts to the season.

522
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 3: Who are those right, Well, I'm gonna start with Caleb Johnson,

523
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 3: a running back that I have high helps for this season,

524
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 3: but I think in the first couple of weeks it's

525
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 3: gonna take him a little bit of time to get going.

526
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 3: And anytime you have a veteran presence in the backfield,

527
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 3: somebody like Jalen Moorean who just ended up signing a

528
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 3: two year extension, it might take him a little bit

529
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 3: of time. It'll be similar to last season where Bucky

530
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 3: Irving did not necessarily come out of the gates swinging

531
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 3: something that you all let me know about very early on,

532
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 3: like oh what up in a Buckie Irving? And then

533
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 3: you all disappeared by the end of the year. And

534
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 3: that's fine. But the thing of it is, Caleb Johnson

535
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 3: will start off slow. He'll probably get released in a

536
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: lot of spots. People will rage drop him or do

537
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 3: whatever they do. You need to be mindful and go

538
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 3: add him to your roster once he has dropped and

539
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 3: the fantasy community has soured on him, because he is

540
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 3: going to be a force for this team in the

541
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 3: second half of the season.

542
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: We see it so many times rank with rookie running backs,

543
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: and that's why I'm going to take one as well,

544
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: because there was a hamstring injury in the preseason for

545
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: Cam Skataboo, and if not for that, I think he

546
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,719
Speaker 1: would have been a legitimate threat to dethrone told Tracy

547
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: as the starter, but now feels a bit more solid

548
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: in that number two spot. And I'm not saying he

549
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: won't be a major player later in the season. I

550
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: think he will be as they transition to an all

551
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: rookie backfield and Jackson Dart eventually takes the starting quarterback job.

552
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: He's already been named the number two, but with two

553
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: of the top four scoring defenses on the schedule in

554
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: the first four weeks, I think it's going to be

555
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: a little bit slower for camp.

556
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 4: Well, I'll keep the rookie running back theme going here

557
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,479
Speaker 4: and get you Omari in Hampton, and I know folks

558
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 4: in the fantasy community absolutely love him. I am a

559
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 4: little bit feeling like I think people are sort of

560
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 4: underestimating the Naji Harris impact here, and I get it.

561
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 2: Near Harris had the eye issue.

562
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 4: We really didn't see him all throughout t a camp

563
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 4: in the preseason, but I think Greg Roman has made

564
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 4: it clear that they want to use both running backs.

565
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 4: I think they wanted to use two guys last year.

566
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 4: It's just that JK. Dobbins was so much better than

567
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 4: Gus Edwards. Edwards also had some injury issues, but I

568
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 4: think Naji Harris will play a role. The other part

569
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 4: of this is the first three games that the Chargers

570
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 4: player against teams that were ranked in the top half

571
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 4: of the league in run defense this year. So I

572
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 4: just think matchup plus having another guy behind him means

573
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 4: Omar and Hampton not gonna be great, but be patient,

574
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 4: it will get better.

575
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: The NFL is back with four days of football. The

Speaker 2: Marcus, Thank you, Patrick.

584
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 4: It is time now for Marcus my words where I

585
00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 4: look at some.

586
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 2: Things that are going to have you during and.

587
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 4: After Week one, and so we'll start at the quarterback position,

588
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 4: because look, if you have two fringe qb ones, chances

589
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 4: are you're gonna start the wrong one. Okay, you thought

590
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 4: it was a good idea to take a guy like

591
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 4: Jared Goff and pair him with an upside quarterback like

592
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 4: justin Fields.

593
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 2: You look at the schedule, you see the.

594
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 4: Packers, you see Michael Parsons. Oh, no way, you're starting

595
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 4: Jared Goff right. All that guarantees he's gonna go for

596
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 4: three hundred and three touchdowns.

597
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: Or he's on the other way. You decide to start

598
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 2: justin Fields, chances are the.

599
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 4: Steelers are gonna clamp down on him in the revenge game.

600
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 2: You're just gonna be frustrated. Don't worry. You'll get it

601
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 2: right at some point. Just probably that in Week one.

602
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 4: Next up, you are going to overreact to Week one results.

603
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 2: We do it every single year.

604
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 4: Let's look back to last year, though, shall we Your

605
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 4: wide receiver ones after Week one of last season, Jaden

606
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 4: Reid and Cooper Cup. Let's not forget that Alan Lazard

607
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 4: also went out had a big game in the season

608
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 4: opener for the Jets. Just take a breath and remember,

609
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 4: a big Week one doesn't guarantee long seas season long sss. Similarly,

610
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 4: a bad Week one doesn't mean that everything's falling apart

611
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 4: on your roster. And finally, you're gonna spend too much

612
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 4: fab on a waiver wire option in week one? Yes,

613
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 4: I know, usually the waiver wire hero of the year

614
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 4: shows himself in the first couple of weeks of the season.

615
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 4: And yeah, that wide receiver just popped out of nowhere,

616
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 4: But maybe be a little bit judicious. Don't go blowing

617
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 4: ninety percent of your fab on the one guy. This

618
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 4: chances are you're gonna need to fill that RB two

619
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 4: spot somewhere late in the season to try and make

620
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 4: the playoffs when you only got a dollar left. Gonna

621
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 4: be feeling pretty sad about it. So spend, but spend wisely.

622
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: Patrick, Yeah, the spending definitely definitely occurs when they're rookies,

623
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: and they can get even worse than the Dynasty's circumstances. People,

624
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: oh oh is gonna be the greatest player of all

625
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: time after Week one. So you've ranked your top ten rookies.

626
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: We've got the first five already up there, Ashon Gent,

627
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: Trevion Henderson, Lamar and Hampton Tenorllald McMillan, and Travis Hunter.

628
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: How do you fill out the rest of your top ten?

629
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 3: And I'll understand too, people want to put Travis Hunter

630
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 3: maybe a spot or too high. I'm not gonna argue

631
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 3: with you. That's fine, but I'm gonna go And I

632
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 3: actually just made a switch recently. I'm gonna go with

633
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 3: the Mika Abuka at the number six spot for the rookies.

634
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 3: If you look at this Buccaneers offense last season, they

635
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 3: show that they can support two wide receivers, and even

636
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 3: with the loss of Liam Cohen who went down to Duvoh,

637
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 3: the Buccaneers offense is still going to be very good.

638
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 3: I expect them to put the ball up into the air,

639
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 3: and until Chris Godwin comes back, Amika Abuka is going

640
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 3: to be the number two wide receiver in this offense.

641
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna be putting in right there at number six.

642
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 3: The guy that I had had there initially moved down

643
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 3: a spot, not necessarily because it was anything that he did,

644
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna go with R. J. Harvey. Now, listen,

645
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 3: this is like that great movie with Sean Payton. The

646
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 3: Home team spoke to us, I still believe the words

647
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 3: that are coming out of the mouth of Sean Payton.

648
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 3: I do believe that when he is starting to talk

649
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 3: up players like RJ. Harvey, I believe that he's going

650
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 3: to have a huge role in this offense. It's easy

651
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 3: just to sit there and do one of those things

652
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 3: where you do a lazy comparison like this is Alvin Kamara, however,

653
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 3: sort of is this is exactly what this is, exactly

654
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 3: the kind of offense that Sean Payton is putting together.

655
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 3: Bo Nix has a lot of the same characteristics as

656
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 3: Drew Brees. Similarly, his wide receivers and his running backs

657
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 3: starting to do the same thing.

658
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 5: We got Kevin James to make the movie about this season.

659
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 3: I know Kevin James needs to we need to reboot.

660
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 3: We need to reboot. Okay, I'm gonna go. I wasn't

661
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 3: gonna do this at first, but I'm gonna go with

662
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 3: Colston Lovelin, and I know that a lot of people

663
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 3: other than going with Tyler Warren much higher in their drafts.

664
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 3: The more I watch the Bears, the more people that

665
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 3: I talk to in the Chicago Land Area. I feel

666
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 3: more confident going with Colston Lovelin in this spot. Remember

667
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson drafted this player, and again not to be

668
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 3: too lazy with our comparisons, but he was on the

669
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 3: staff that drafted Sam Laporta. There is a definite role

670
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 3: in mind for Colston Lovelin. I feel real confident if

671
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 3: you missed out on the tight end run of this

672
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 3: happened to me a couple of times during drafts and

673
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 3: I ended up with Colson Levelin. I'm cool with it.

674
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 3: I don't think you need to really stress about it

675
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 3: too much. Although again, if you prefer Tyler, I am

676
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 3: not gonna argue with you, because there is a player

677
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 3: right here who could end up being the most targeted

678
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 3: pass catcher in this Colts offense. When you think about

679
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones and is I don't want to say inability.

680
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 3: I think he can throw the ball down the field,

681
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 3: he just doesn't do it a lot. So I'm looking

682
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 3: for the wide for the pass catchers who are going

683
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 3: to be closer to the line of scrimmage, which includes

684
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 3: Tyler Warren and Josh Downs and players like that. Tyler Warren. Again,

685
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 3: it's one of those things that I've been seeing him

686
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 3: go in the I mean, we've drafted now. I feel

687
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 3: like I'm one of the few lunatics who are still

688
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 3: doing drafts right now. But if you got Tyler Warren,

689
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 3: you should be very happy with that, and he's gonna

690
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 3: be very good for the Colts. And then I got

691
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 3: Cayleb Johnson. I just talked about this a moment ago.

692
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 3: Expect a slow start. You're gonna need to be patient

693
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 3: with Caleb Johnson. But he is a good running back.

694
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 3: He fits this Steelers off. We've seen over the last

695
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 3: number of years with Mike Tomlin in charge, they'll run

696
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 3: with two running backs. I think early on they're gonna

697
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 3: go with Tyler Warren. You just have to be ready

698
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 3: for that. Caleb Johnson needs just to remain on your bench.

699
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 3: The moment will arise. It happens every year. Don't be

700
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 3: that person that over that, that overreacts to everything that's

701
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 3: going on. It's happened a couple of years ago. I

702
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 3: think Ramadre Stevenson was the best example of this. Like

703
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 3: everybody was in on Remandre and he hit so many

704
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 3: waiver wires in week three and then by week five,

705
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 3: everybody was scrambling to pick him up again. That will

706
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 3: happen if you drop Caleb Johnson. So make sure that

707
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 3: if you did draft him, you hold on to him.

708
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: So all top ten of Adam Rank's rookies for the

709
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five season. Once upon a time there was

710
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: a clear cut rookie coming into an NFL season and

711
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: coming up you thought it.

712
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 5: Was time to quit him.

713
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 2: We're quitting cop hits wrong.

714
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: Adam Rank has a guarantee you need to hear before

715
00:31:55,160 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: Week one kicks off. Next on NFL Fantasy Lack. The

Speaker 3: Take your tickets to the window, Tom to take it

722
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 3: to the rank. All right, Patrick, thank you so much.

723
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 3: Time now for a season long look as we go

724
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 3: for my first ever review. But take it to the rank.

725
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 3: But we all start off with America's team, Dallas Cowboys.

726
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 3: We're talking about Dak Prescott. The Cowboys were already one

727
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 3: of the most pass happy teams in the NFL before

728
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 3: everything happened with Michaeh Parsons last season, the second most

729
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 3: attempts pass attempts per game this year. So I expect

730
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott to be firing it up. And if you

731
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 3: look at him, if you look at his career when

732
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 3: he's healthy, ready to go, he is had over thirty

733
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 3: seven hundred passing yards and four of his will hold

734
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 3: on mister four of his six career seasons. And I

735
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 3: say he does that again this year because guess what,

736
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 3: you can take it to the rank that was a

737
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,959
Speaker 3: terrible toss. Listen, it's still preseason for me, all right,

738
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the running back position. In the running

739
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 3: back position is not dead. The Las Vegas Raiders made

740
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 3: Ashton Genty a top ten pick in the real NFL draft.

741
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 3: He's going in the first round of your fantasy football drafts,

742
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 3: and the reason being Pete Carroll Chip Kelly have both

743
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 3: shown over the course of their careers they love to

744
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 3: lean on that running game and it is going to

745
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 3: benefit Ashton Genty, who will be another one of those

746
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 3: running backs who goes out and tops over one thousand

747
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 3: yards So this is it. Ashton Genty will have at

748
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 3: least a thousand rushing yards this season, and guess what

749
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 3: you can take it to the rank.

750
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 5: Better?

751
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 3: We're getting better with the tosses. All right, Let's go

752
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,959
Speaker 3: to the Jets, who will once again be having a

753
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 3: new starting quarterback, only this time it'll be former Justin Field,

754
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 3: who is Justin Fields, who's going to be reunited with

755
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 3: his Ohio State teammate Garrett Wilson. And we're not talking

756
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 3: about the pass connection. We're talking about the departures from

757
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 3: the backfield. That's right. Justin Fields is one of the

758
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 3: most prolific runners in the NFL. When you look at

759
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 3: his projection, they have him at six hundred yards projected

760
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 3: rushing this season. I say the Justin Fields will far

761
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 3: exceed that expectation. And guess what you can take it

762
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 3: to the rank? All right, we'll time it up, We'll

763
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 3: time it up all right. Now. Finally, listen, if Kyle

764
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 3: Pitts has no fans, but that means I have departed

765
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 3: this earth because I am still one of the biggest,

766
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 3: if not the only, fan of Kyle Pitts, and I

767
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 3: know a lot of you are disrespecting him. Not going

768
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 3: to go back there and do it again. But when

769
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 3: you look at the history of what Kyle Pitts has

770
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 3: been able to do, he had one thousand receiving yards

771
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 3: as a rookie, and now Michael Pennix, when you look

772
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 3: at the connection they had last year, Darnell Mooney already

773
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 3: having injury problems. Kyle Pitts is gonna go out there

774
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 3: on a revenge tour this season. I say the Kyle

775
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 3: Pitts has well over his projected five hundred receiving yards

776
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 3: this season. And guess what you could take it to

777
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 3: the rank. I am going to get that card toss

778
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 3: good one of these days. But there it is Patrick,

779
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 3: the first ever or the first take it to the

780
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 3: rank of.

781
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: The season and the best thus far, as Tom for

782
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: asking for Fred here on NFL Fantasy Life. As you

783
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: guys have looked at your sleepers and decided which ones

784
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: that you truly believe in, I will tell you how

785
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: we feel about your sleepers, starting with this one from Ronsona.

786
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 5: Matthew Golden Baby?

787
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 3: Is that for me? I really like Matthew Golden. Coming

788
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 3: into the draft season, I thought that he was going

789
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 3: to be the top receiver off the board. I thought

790
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 3: that's who Carolina. Actually, I thought Carolina should taken Colson Lovelin.

791
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 3: But Matthew Golden is a great receiver. Then he went

792
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 3: to Green Bay and I don't feel them. No, I'm kidding, No,

793
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 3: he's a good pick.

794
00:35:59,080 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 5: I agree with you.

795
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 3: Matthew Golden's gonna be very good.

796
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 5: All right.

797
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: Next one's for you, Marcus. That comes from Henry Base

798
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: Old Teuton.

799
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 4: I am rooting for Tuton, but I'm gonna tell you

800
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 4: that you're going to have to be patient, right because

801
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 4: Travis Etn is still there.

802
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 2: He's still the lead running back.

803
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 4: Tank Bigsby was very efficient last year and his opportunities,

804
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 4: so you know, it's gonna take a while. I think

805
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 4: for Tuton to sort of break through here, it might

806
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 4: get kind of messy, kind of muddled, but I think

807
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 4: by the end of the year you might have something there.

808
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 4: So as long as you can wait it out. Again,

809
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 4: I'm I'm here rooting for Tuton.

810
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love Base Old Tuton.

811
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 3: Let's go to darn Tutin.

812
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: This one comes from Pokemon Trainer or Brian to look

813
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: on Cash and the Ball. Dante Thorton Junior will win

814
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: Fantasy championships, he says, I think perhaps we could eventually

815
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: get there. I know Pete Carroll would like to run

816
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: the football. Gino Smith did throw a touchdown to Thornton

817
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: in the preseason, but you have to consider just how

818
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: much volume he's gonna get with a receiving group that

819
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: includes Shacoby Myers, Brock Bauers, Amartin Cooper coming in could

820
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: get a little bit crowded. But maybe as the season

821
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: goes on, I get more opportunity for Thornton and more

822
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: chances to catch Pokemon back to you rank to.

823
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 3: SLA, I prefer Darryl Rivian of the Innate. No such

824
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 3: player and it's an electronic whatever. No, he was very

825
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 3: excited during the preseason, but I think one of the

826
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 3: things with the Detroit Lions is that they have so

827
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 3: many available weapons out there. When you have Jamier Gibbs

828
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,479
Speaker 3: and David Montgomery in the backfield, Jamo to go along

829
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 3: with a mon Ross, Saint Brown and Sam Laporta. I

830
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 3: really liked what he did. I think he's a great

831
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,399
Speaker 3: long term prospect for the Lions, but I think this

832
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 3: season he's going to be a very exciting, highlight play

833
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 3: type of dude. And we'll see him on That helps

834
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 3: no one to be on the waiver wire hot sauce

835
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 3: at least once. But I don't see him being a

836
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 3: consistent guy week in and week out.

837
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: Okay, Marcus, next player question or thought coming for you?

838
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 1: Was the sleeper belief coming from Stole Stelenski Here Mason

839
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: Taylor with DNA from Jason Taylor and Zat Thomas.

840
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 5: It's a no brainer. He's doing genetics. How do you feel?

841
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna stay away from the genetics

842
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 4: part of the whole thing. I do like Mason Taylor.

843
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 4: I think there's an opportunity. I think he's a talented

844
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 4: player in an offense that look, as long as I've

845
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 4: been alive, the Jets have never really had a tight

846
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 4: end of note. I think he can actually be that

847
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 4: guy this year. But I mean, look, there's a there's

848
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 4: a quarterback in Cleveland whose dad is a Hall of

849
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 4: Famer who doesn't really seem to be, you know.

850
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 2: Lighting the world on fire just yet.

851
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna stay away from the whole, you know,

852
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 4: family lineage.

853
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 2: Part of this whole game.

854
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 3: I was like, wait, is Brian Sipe's son playing for.

855
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 5: This will go from Hercules. I'll take it. It's Tory

856
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 5: hilt Horton. If you know, you know, and I agree.

857
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: I think the size and the speed definitely makes sense

858
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: when you consider that Sam Donald had all those deep

859
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: passing attempts. But my question is, is Mike McDonald going

860
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: to allow Sam Donald to throw some of those yolo

861
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: balls at Kevin O'Connell was comfortable with him throwing in

862
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: Minnesota last year. I said, good luck Hercules, but I

863
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: might hold off on the Tourry Holton believe, Tory Horton belief.

864
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: At this point in the season ten, Welcome to the

865
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: Divisional Round, the most highly anticipated matchup.

866
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,240
Speaker 3: Of the season. May more trying to love y'all.

867
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: That's the second turnover the night from Lamar Jackson.

868
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 6: To Alan Keefer and he's gonna run it.

869
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 2: In seventeen is a scoring the.

870
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 6: Ship Fireton coal Mine touch down Isaiah Likely and now

871
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 6: it pumps down to a two point conversion.

872
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 3: The whole season comes down to display.

873
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 8: Oh, the ball was shopped.

874
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 3: They had the two point conversion in his hands.

875
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 8: The Mills have won twenty seven twenty five.

876

Speaker 1: God Tonight, Rich Eisen, Kurt Warner, Steve Mariucci, Gerald McCoy,

Speaker 1: at eight eastern on NFL Network's time for.

884
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 5: Us to do something woulda, could have, should have?

885
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: As we look to some things that we look back

886
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: on our draft season and said, oh, maybe I could

887
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,280
Speaker 1: have done that a little bit differently.

888
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 5: What's yours, Adam?

889
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 3: Right, Well, I guess I should have waited on bres

890
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 3: Hall because apparently not everybody was excited about Breece Hall

891
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 3: as I was. I was doing my league with Golf

892
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 3: Tech and in the Hackers Paradise, and I'm like, I

893
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 3: gotta get bres Hall here right at the end of

894
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 3: the second round, early third and like everybody's like, yeah,

895
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 3: we weren't taking them there. I'm like, oh, okay. So

896
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 3: as as drafts went on and I started getting him

897
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 3: in the fifth, I felt like, Okay, this is a

898
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 3: better value. I thought that everybody would see that Tanner

899
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 3: Engstron came over from Detroit, it was going to run

900
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 3: a style similar to what they run in Detroit, and

901
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 3: be like, oh, we got to be all about this guy. No,

902
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 3: everybody's like he's a Jet, so I'm not drafting him.

903
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 4: Well, I should have probably skipped drafting any sayints, And

904
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 4: I do appreciate Adam Rank trying to make me feel

905
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 4: better about Rashid Chihed. There are a couple of different

906
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 4: drafts where I kind of got to mid the late part.

907
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 2: Of the draft, I sort of panicked.

908
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 4: I was like, ah, and I drafted Rashid Hihed. I

909
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 4: just am not excited about this Saints offense this year.

910
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 4: My fear is I'm gonna have him, and he's gonna be,

911
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 4: you know, too good for me to actually drop, but

912
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 4: never really good enough for me to feel confident about

913
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 4: having him in my lineup.

914
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 2: So that's maybe one of the big regrets I have

915
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 2: from draft season.

916
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, as the draft season rolled on and I kept

917
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: seeing folks fade Tyreek Hill, especially now if you're still drafting,

918
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: and he got not named a team captain, and folks

919
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: were wow, that's that's it. It's over for Tyrek Hill.

920
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: I should have drafted more Tyreek Hill. I was in

921
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: multiple drafts where guys like Marvin Harrison Junior T. Higgins

922
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: were going ahead of a guy who was on pace

923
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: to shatter every receiving record just two years. It was

924
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: not that long ago for Tyreek Hill, and I thought

925
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: I perhaps overthought a little bit about other positions on

926
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: my team. I should have got a player of huge

927
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: value in my opinion in twenty twenty five and got

928
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: more Tyreek Kill.

929
00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 3: Well, we were talking about it at the end of

930
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 3: the last week about how much we liked Tyreek Hill,

931
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 3: and I'm like yeah, And so over the weekend I

932
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 3: started doing that. I started getting more and more shares

933
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 3: of Tyreek Hill because I really do believe that he

934
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 3: has an opportunity to be good and regardless of what's

935
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,920
