Speaker 2: fantasy football rankers in the world. In joining us is

21
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: one of my favorite people in the industry. He's here

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: to talk about his fantasy football rankings and the players

23
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: he's drafting and fading. I'm talking about Brad Evans, a

Speaker 2: co founder of the FTN Network, a Fantasy Sports Riders

00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: thanks for joining us wavos he gants.

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 4: Indeed, yes, hopefully my waveos will not be sunnyside up

00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,279
Speaker 4: come January this NFL season.

29
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: All right, it's great to have you on the pod.

30
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: We had you on the pod last year to talk

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: about the guys you were drafting, the guys who were fading,

32
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 2: so it's a I don't know, it feels poetic in

33
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: a way to have you back this year for the

34
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 2: same episode. We had a fantastic run of shows recently

35
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: over the past couple of months. On Monday, we released

36
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: our Propapalooza episode with Mike Clay, who helped us break

37
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,200

Speaker 2: can obviously use the cheat sheet for your fantasy drafts,

43
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,000

Speaker 2: for you next week, so if be sure to tune

56
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: in for that. Gentlemen, let's get into it, Brad. I

57
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: want to start by getting some of your thoughts on

58
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: your rankings process, the stats that you priority ties, how

59
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: it is that you stack your board and figure out

60
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 2: what you are prioritizing when you are drafting for twenty twenty.

61
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 4: Well, I think in these uncertain, unprecedented times, flexibility is paramounts.

62
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: Right.

63
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 4: We're collecting as many data points as we can because

64
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 4: we don't have any visual evidence outside of like college

65
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 4: tape as some of these rookies or what guys did

66
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 4: last season.

67
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: So everybody seems to be rosie.

68
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 4: Everybody seems to be in the best shape of their life,

69
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 4: even more so than normal. I've seen an obscene amount

70
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 4: of guys shirtless on Twitter this offseason, and I have

71
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: been really adjusting my ranks as a.

72
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: Result of that.

73
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 4: But it's unusual the circumstances, and you know, all you

74
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 4: can do is really kind of take coach speak at

75
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 4: face value, collect those data points, and an adjust on

76
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 4: the fly until we see some really crappy football, probably

77
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 4: the first three weeks of the regular season, as a

78
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 4: lot of these teams try to round in a shape,

79
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 4: round in a form, and knock off the rust in general.

80
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 4: You know, I'm gonna advance analytics geek. Admittedly, you know,

81
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 4: I love yards of a contact per attentp miss. Tackle

82
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 4: percentage numbers tied say to the running back position.

83
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 3: I love yak PA. Reception numbers tie to wide receivers.

84
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: Of course, target share, whether overall or inside the red zone.

85
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 3: You know, success rates on certain routes.

86
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,239
Speaker 4: You know guys and how they fit into a particular system.

87
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 4: You know, you take all these things into account, you

88
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 4: throw it on a hopper, it spits it out you know,

89
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 4: I don't have any fancy spreadsheets or algorithms. You know,

90
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 4: I'm a guy that you know, takes stuff, whether in

91
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 4: in a film view or in an analytics view and

92
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 4: kind of mashes them together. So imagine it like on Thanksgiving.

93
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 4: You know you can sigregate your food. You know, you

94
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 4: got your your potatoes here, you got your turkey here,

95
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 4: you got your stuff in here. Now, man, I swirled

96
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 4: all together. That's what I do. And then I just

97
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 4: shove it in my pie hole. And that's kind of

98
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 4: how I look at it when I do ranks as

99
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 4: well as you know, mashing everything together, shoving in the

100
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 4: old pie hole, and hopefully whatever comes out of my

101
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 4: pie hole sticks when I make those prognostications.

102
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 6: So do you have a different approach when it comes

103
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 6: to say, standard versus PKR rankings, Like how do you

104
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 6: manage that?

105
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 7: Well?

106
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 4: You got to take it on a player by player basis.

107
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 4: You know, take Derrick Henry for example. I mean, Derrick

108
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 4: Henry is an absolute god of God's in a standard format,

109
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 4: you know, he's not going to catch a whole lot

110
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 4: of passes.

111
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 3: In a PPR.

112
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 4: Now they're saying, because Darrenton Evans can't hold all the football.

113
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 4: It's not really transitioning smoothly.

114
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: Next level.

115
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 4: Maybe you're gonna see Derrick Henry a little bit more

116
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 4: involved in the past game this season, but you know,

117
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 4: in a standard setting, you know, double figure touchdowns, probably

118
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: thirteen hundred rush yards right around where his prop is

119
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 4: right now at various sports books. You know, that could

120
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 4: be a baseline for him this season, and obviously it

121
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 4: bolsters the bottom line for him in that format, you know,

122
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 4: And if you're just signed between him and like say

123
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 4: Clyde Edwards Hilaier and it's a PPR format, then I

124
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 4: would give the advantage to the rookie out of Kansas City,

125
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 4: unless God forbid.

126
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 3: You know, I know a tape time Leonard Fournette has

127
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: not signed with anybody.

128
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 4: But just imagine if you wound up in Kansas City

129
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 4: and just rude everybody over who jumped with both cheeks

130
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 4: firmly planted on the Cech bandwagon.

131
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 3: So that would be some kind of spectacular development.

132
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 4: But as it stands right now, no guy like Cech

133
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 4: so I think it, catch sixty sixty five balls in

134
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 4: the most explosive offense in the NFL, would have a

135
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 4: leg up on say it, Derrick Henry. So again take

136
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 4: it player by player in terms of determining whether or

137
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 4: not a player's higher or lower, whether standard or PPR, Hey.

138
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 8: Broan, How about in terms of league size? How does

139
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 8: your approach change based on the different size leagues?

140
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, I am CEO team, I have US,

141
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 4: and as a result of that, I play in some

142
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,559
Speaker 4: stupid deep leagues. I play in a twenty teamer guys

143
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 4: with like five bench spots.

144
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 3: We call it super league.

145
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 4: Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports puts it off as team

146
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 4: reporter for that website. He puts it on every single year,

147
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 4: and it's it's ridict it's cutthroat, it's stupid. I committed

148
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 4: fantasy suicide last year by taking mandatory Montgomery in round two,

149
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 4: because again, it's a twenty teamer.

150
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: It's like, you gotta get your guys, and if you're

151
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: like eighteen in.

152
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 4: The second round, essentially you're just sitting there like, well, crap,

153
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 4: there's no way in hell I'm gonna get them in

154
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 4: a round three.

155
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 3: So let's just go all in.

156
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 4: Let's put the waybels on the line and see what

157
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 4: you know shakes out, And obviously it didn't work out

158
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 4: for your boy last year. But you know, you do

159
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 4: take a case by case, league by league. You know,

160
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 4: shallow leagues obviously you're going to rank guys with you know,

161
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 4: you're gonna take more risks potentially because the depth that's

162
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 4: out there, chase more ceiling and those instances. Meanwhile, in

163
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 4: deeper formats and you know, really kind of starts the

164
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 4: dividing lines at fourteen teams, especially if you have a

165
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 4: flex or you know, if you have a super flex

166
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 4: in particular, you know, you're looking for guys with very

167
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 4: high floors there. You're looking for more safety, but got

168
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 4: to risk it to make the biscuit. You know, you

169
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 4: guys know me, I'm all about making bold calls and

170
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: following through good or bad, and oftentimes, you know bad.

171
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 4: That's why we name my website FAY the Noise for

172
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 4: Crying out Loud.

173
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: All right, Brad, let's get into some of your player

174
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: ranking specifically. And you know, on on Twitter, I get

175
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: lots of questions about the top five, Who are you

176
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: taking in the top five, How are you stacking those guys?

177
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: And I'm assuming you know, because you are human, that

178
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: you have Christian McCaffrey as your number one player. But

179
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: after that, how are you stacking your top five just

180
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: overall instead of position? You're talking a top five overall? Yeah,

181
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: just top five guys.

182
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 4: Well, you know, we're we're kind of in a precarious

183
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 4: position right now because we don't have no idea what

184
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 4: the hell's going on with Auvin Kamara, right you know,

185
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 4: is there a holdout? Is there really going to be

186
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 4: a contract dispute? Is this going to bleed into the

187
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 4: regular season? And you know, I was in a salary

188
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 4: cap slash auction draft last night. Granted had a super

189
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 4: flex was a twelve team or heyone's for forty bucks

190
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 4: and with a two hundred dollars cap, heavily discounted because

191
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 4: people are skittish, and I get it. You know, you

192
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 4: look at the top of the running back ladder ride

193
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 4: now and there's a lot of questions. Davin Cook may

194
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 4: hold out, Joe Mixon's got hold out slash migrain issues.

195
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 4: Miles Sanders is week to week with a hamstring injury.

196
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 4: Kenyan Drake's in a damn boot. I mean, it's gotten ugly.

197
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 4: It's it's full of land mines. The landscape. So right

198
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 4: now as it stands. You know, it only bolsters the

199
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 4: value of those premium work courses like Christian McCaffrey, like

200
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 4: a State Kwon Barkley.

201
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: Like Azeke Elliott.

202
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 4: So you know, I think those guys go one, two, three,

203
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 4: and then it begins to divert.

204
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 7: Right.

205
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 4: If you're worried about al M Kamara, I'd still go

206
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 4: number four on him as it stands presently, because you know,

207
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of positive TD regressions going

208
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 4: to occur with him. You know, had less than thirty

209
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 4: red zone attempts last season, which was on characteristic. He

210
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 4: was battling and really a warrior's mentality knowing you had

211
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: a kny injury, he had a bad back, he had

212
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 4: a high ankle sprain.

213
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: He still put up great secondary analytics.

214
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 4: He was top fifteen in the yard type of contact

215
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 4: per attempt, top fifteen and mistackle percentage last season. And

216
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 4: oh yeah, he caught eighty plus balls of the third

217
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 4: consecutive year. So yeah, there's people out there, like worried

218
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 4: about Taysom Hill at Tavius Murray being goal line grimlins.

219
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 4: But a healthy Alvin Kamara in this offense with an

220
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 4: elite offensive line, I think it's going to be what

221
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 4: he was two years ago. I would say minimum a

222
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 4: dozen touchdowns in total if we see him on the

223
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 4: field and he plays all sixteen games this season, so

224
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 4: knowing that upside, knowing again he got to risk it

225
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 4: to make the biscuit, I go with him at number four,

226
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 4: and then at number five.

227
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 3: For me, it's Michael Thomas.

228
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 4: I've said this before and I'm going to say it again,

229
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 4: probably next to like Patrick Mahomes, maybe Lamar Jackson. There

230
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 4: isn't another player, and I think it's his floor is

231
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 4: even higher than Christian McCaffrey. No player in fantasy has

232
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 4: a higher floor than Michael Thomas. I think it's a

233
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 4: minimum one hundred and twenty catches. The dude is an

234
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 4: absolute monster and he's going to see a boatload of

235
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 4: targets his general direction from oh yeah, still the most

236
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 4: accurate quarterback in the NFL member Drew Brees was number

237
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 4: one and adjust a completion percentage last year.

238
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: Sean, I want to kick it to you and get

239
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 2: your thoughts on Kamara specifically, and then also that top

240
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: five are you stacking it with running backs? Knowing that

241
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: the guys that Brad listed earlier, who have a whole

242
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: bunch of issues that you don't want to have to

243
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: take one of those guys later. What are you doing

244
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: with your top five?

245
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, so my tough five is not all running backs.

246
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 6: Same thing I agree with Brad. I think McCaffrey, Elliott,

247
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 6: and Barkley are the clear number three. And you know,

248
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 6: with Alvin Kamara, I mean as I talk, there might

249
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 6: be news breaking, so who knows, but I have him

250
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 6: as my number four. I think you still take the

251
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 6: number four. But where it gets murky is slought five.

252
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 6: You know, I essentially have Dalvin Cook and Michael Thomas.

253
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 6: Hye when it comes to projections. But I mean, given

254
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 6: that quote by Adam Schefter, not me, Adam Schefter that

255
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 6: said he wouldn't draft Dalvin Cook right now so he

256
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 6: doesn't get a contract for the season starts, I mean

257
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 6: he must know something that we don't, so that gives

258
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 6: me some pause. Again, I probably still would take Dalvin

259
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 6: Cook REALM one if he falls with me, but I

260
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 6: think given that news, I would take Michael Thomas with

261
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 6: pick number five.

262
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 7: If for some.

263
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 6: Reason, do you think you're solid and taking receivers and

264
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 6: you know rounds three through seven, which I think is

265
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 6: the sweet spot. Sure, go ahead and take a Derrick

266
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 6: Henry at slought five. You can do that certainly, or

267
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 6: even wards later, but I think give him the situation

268
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 6: right now.

269
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 7: If Kamara Cook.

270
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 6: Potentially Joe mixin, it does give me some pause with

271
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 6: some of these running backs outside of the top three,

272
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 6: But right now, it's still McCaffrey, Elliott, Barkley, Kamara for me,

273
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 6: and then Michael Thomas at pick number five.

274
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 2: Right now, Raymon, I have this kind of mentality if

275
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: I don't want to take a player at the top

276
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: of his tier, and I think that Michael Thomas is

277
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: in a tier with Julio and Tyreek and DeVante Adams.

278
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 2: So there's like a part of me that just sort

279
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: of resists being the first person to take a wide

280
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: receiver in the draft. And then also, I mean we

281
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: talked about those running backs going in round two. I

282
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: just don't want to have to invest in those guys.

283
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: I want to get a running back in round one

284
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 2: for the most part. Where are you on Michael Thomas?

285
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 2: Is he in your top five? Yeah?

286
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 8: I think he has to be at this point just

287
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 8: because of the question marks at running back. I think

288
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 8: you can take Thomas's high at four, I still have

289
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 8: Kamara in there, but I'm in the process of kind

290
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 8: of tweaking him and Dalvin games Play projection just because

291
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 8: there is, you know, starting to be some real uncertainty there.

292
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 8: And what that does is, I think in anything but

293
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 8: a full PPR league, I think that's gonna end up

294
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 8: having Derrick Henry in front of those guys. And remember,

295
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 8: Henry is a guy who even in full PPR still

296
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 8: finishes the RB number three last year, only behind Christian

297
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 8: McCaffrey and just behind Aaron Jones. So Derrick Henry, even

298
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 8: with the limited receiving workload, can get it done even

299
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 8: in a full PPR format, And just because he's been

300
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 8: so durable and his workload is so consistent, that may

301
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 8: be the way to go, you know, in all formats.

302
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 8: But I think Thomas is looking kind of like the

303
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 8: number four at this point. I'm giving all the uncertainty

304
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 8: if we're talking about a full PPR.

305
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 2: All right in the top five, and I agree with

306
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: you guys in terms of that top three, that's a

307
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: really clear tier. I do have Kamara at number four,

308
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 2: and at number five, I'm still gonna be the fish

309
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: who takes a running back, and it could be Derrick, Henry,

310
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: Dalvin Cook. For me, it's probably Clyde Edwards Zilayer. There's

311
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: just something about the ceiling of his offense with the

312
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: high floor of his receiving workload that really makes me

313
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 2: want to invest in him. But I think you really

314
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 2: can't go wrong if you go with Henry, and if

315
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: you want to be safer, go with Michael Thomas. I

316
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: think that's fine too. Brad. After Michael Thomas, I think

317
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: people are a little bit all over the place in

318
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: terms of the guy that they have at number two.

319
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: It could be DeVante Adams for a lot of people,

320
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: it is it could potentially be tyreek Kill because of

321
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 2: that offense, because of how explosive he is. And then

322
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: it could also be Julio because it feels like, you know,

323
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: it's always Julio who's in the running to be a

324
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: top to top three Fantasy wide receiver. How do you

325
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: rank those wide receivers after Michael Thomas.

326
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'm be going back and forth on this

327
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 4: really all summer long, because it's a razor blade difference.

328
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 3: Between some of these guys.

329
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 4: To be honest with you, and really, right now, I've

330
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 4: got Davante Adams at number two. It's largely a conservative scheme,

331
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 4: at least that's what mettli Clair wants to do. You know,

332
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 4: everybody is fawning over the godlike thighs of AJ Dillon

333
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 4: and his John Stockton shorts to accentuate just how thick

334
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 4: those tree trunks are.

335
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 3: And they are glorious.

336
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 4: But you know, Aaron Jones is still going to be

337
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 4: a big part of this offense, a guy that was

338
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 4: peak efficient inside the red zone last year.

339
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 3: He got Jamal Williams as well.

340
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 4: You know, Aaron Rodgers struggled inside the red zone last season,

341
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 4: and largely because he didn't have Deavonte Adams or a

342
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 4: sizable chunk of the season dealing with a foot injury.

343
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 4: You know, I think with Adams back, not a whole

344
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 4: lot of competition, and who's going to be the number

345
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 4: two there is? It gonna be Allen Lazart, is gonna

346
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: be Rcazvaldez, Scantling, is somebody else got a step up

347
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 4: one of the tight ends, maybe Jace Sternberger, but he's

348
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 4: not had a standout training camp.

349
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 3: You know, that is to be determined.

350
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 4: But Adams is gonna be a targets hog and a

351
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 4: guy that's probably gonna be well inside the top five

352
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 4: in the red zone target share come year's end. And

353
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 4: I think he gets back closer where he was two

354
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 4: years ago when he had thirteen touchdown receptions. You know,

355
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 4: it could be a bottom line of ten. You know,

356
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 4: it's high as fifteen. He could set the pace in

357
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 4: that category. And I said this before and I'm gonna

358
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 4: say it again. I think Julio, maybe for the second

359
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 4: time in his NFL career, has ten touchdowns in a season.

360
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 4: You know, you lose Austin Hooper, Yah, Haytenhurst is expected

361
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 4: to slide into that role.

362
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: We'll see how he performs.

363
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 4: He's got a nice chemistry reportedly with Matt Ryan, but

364
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 4: you could see an uptick hopefully, you know, fingers and

365
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 4: toes cross and in zone targets.

366
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 2: Here.

367
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 4: For Julio, it's always been vexing to me that he

368
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 4: has not been utilized more in that capacity. Given his

369
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 4: leaping ability, his size, his strong hands. It's baffling that

370
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 4: Julio Jones consistently gets like sixty eight touchdowns a year

371
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 4: and is not a perennial ten to twelve touchdown guy.

372
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 4: But you know the volume is going to be there.

373
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 4: Atlanta's defense is rancid. I know everybody's talking up Calvin Ridley.

374
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 4: I think Calvin Ridley is one of the most overrated

375
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 4: wide receivers right now in Fantasy at wide receiver fifteen

376
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 4: in terms of average rapt position. So as it stands now,

377
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 4: it goes number two for me, Devonte Adams, three, Julio

378
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 4: Jones for DeAndre Hopkins, and then I have Tyreek Hill

379
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 4: actually not at five but at six because my number

380
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 4: five is Alan Robinson. And it might be because for some reason,

381
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 4: I believe that Nick Foles may actually be a semi compid.

382
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 4: It could be the best quarterback that Alan Robinson receives

383
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 4: passes from, going back to his days in college when

384
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 4: he had the god awful Matt mcgloy and Christian Hackenberg

385
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 4: throwing a wounded.

386
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: Ducks Sean, where are you on those wide receivers?

387
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 6: So obviously you know I have them all right next

388
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 6: to each other, that they're my tier two. I have

389
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 6: Michael Thomas a clear tier ahead of them, so you

390
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 6: can't go wrong with either. I would say, you know,

391
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 6: half peep are and standard. I would lean Tyreek. I've

392
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 6: said it time and time again. Anytime I can invest

393
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 6: in the Chiefs offense, I do. I just think, you know,

394
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 6: the ceiling for them is a record breaking season. So

395
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 6: that's why I leaned Tyreek. But you can't go wrong

396
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 6: with DeVante. If it's a PPR, I'm absolutely going Davante

397
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 6: over Tyreek. And then Julio's you know, he's right there.

398
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 6: I may disagree with Brad. I think that Calvi Ridley

399
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 6: is a is in a smash spot this year, so

400
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 6: I'm getting a ton of him, you know, around four.

401
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,959
Speaker 6: So typically I pass on Julio just because I know

402
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 6: I'm probably gonna get Ridley. But you know, you really

403
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 6: can't go wrong with any of these three, especially at

404
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 6: this point in the draft. We already mentioned that, you know,

405
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 6: a guy like Kenyan Drake is already in a walking boot.

406
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 6: Mile Sanders is dealing with the handy injury, so you know,

407
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 6: give him the uncertainty. With all these running backs in

408
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 6: this range, I've been drafting, you know, one of these

409
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 6: tier two receivers a little bit more often, but again,

410
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 6: you can't go wrong with either one. And when it

411
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 6: comes to Julio, I am not banking on a ten

412
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 6: touchdown season.

413
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 7: I gave up on that a few years ago.

414
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 6: I think I think it's clear he's you know, I'm

415
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 6: projecting in for two thousand yards and five touchdowns per usual,

416
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 6: so I'm joking on it. It's like four candy yards

417
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 6: and six touchdowns. But I think that it's just for

418
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 6: whatever reason, he's more of a decoy when it comes

419
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 6: to the red zone.

420
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 7: And that's one of the reasons why I do like

421
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 7: Calvin Ridley Raybond.

422
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: How are you stacking Adams Tyreek in Julio?

423
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 8: I like, I like Tyreek number two just because I project,

424
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 8: you know, top down, so quarterbacks are always the most predictable,

425
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 8: so I like to start there, and that gives Julio,

426
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 8: I mean, excuse me, Tyreka an edge over the other

427
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 8: two guys. But I think Julio is is right there

428
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 8: at number three. I actually have DeVante number four, just

429
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 8: because I think there are some concerns about, you know,

430
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 8: that Green Bay offense. How much will they throw? How

431
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 8: good will Aaron Rodgers be? Whereas you know, the Falcons,

432
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 8: regardless of Calvin, really kind of factors in or not,

433
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 8: you know, to you know, kind of becoming that true

434
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 8: one a the Falcons we the league in past attempts

435
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 8: by a huge margin.

436
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 5: They have a shaky defense.

437
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 8: So I like Julio's kind of consistency, his ability to

438
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 8: you know, year in year out, it's it's one thousand,

439
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 8: three hundred ninety four yards or more for.

440
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 5: The past six years. You can't really go wrong with that.

441
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 8: So I wouldn't even be mad at anyone for taking

442
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 8: Julio number two. But for me, it's Tyreek Julio, then

443
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 8: Devonte number four, then Hopkins number four, and Kenny Golladay

444
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 8: is actually getting closer and closer for me because Matthew

445
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 8: Stafford in that new scheme with Darryl Bevel throwing down

446
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 8: a field eight out of ten point six, and that's

447
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 8: going to help Gallady kind of creep up on a

448
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 8: guy like Hopkins, who, let's remember last year averages eleven

449
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 8: point three yards per reception. You know, Gallady is probably

450
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 8: going to be in that fifteen to sixteen range.

451
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 5: So it could be a little closer than people think.

452
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 2: All right, Rayvon, you mentioned you wouldn't blame anyone for

453
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 2: having Julio at number two. I have Julio at number two,

454
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: and I'm with Brad maybe ten touchdowns seems like a reach,

455
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 2: but I think it's within the range of outcomes. And

456
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 2: although he hasn't done it, and you know what feels

457
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 2: like a decade, I think he always has a shot

458
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 2: to get there because of the yardage and because of

459
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: how explosive he is. So I have Julio number two,

460
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 2: Tyreek number three, and then DeVante number four, and it's

461
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 2: really nothing against you know, DeVante, you know versus Tyreek.

462
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: I just I prefer that that chiefs offense. Coming up,

463
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 2: we're going to run through the players weird rafting and

464
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 2: fading the most. But first, a quick word from our

465

476
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 2: All right, guys, let's get into the players that at

477
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 2: each position we are really investing in and we are

478
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: really looking to stay away from. So Brad, I'm talking about,

479
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 2: you know, like the quarterback you have invested in the most,

480
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 2: the guy who is probably most out of line with

481
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 2: his ADP in your rankings, and then the quarterback you

482
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 2: have none of, the guy you just don't don't want in,

483
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: the guy that if people are looking at your rankings,

484
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 2: they're just not going to get any of in their

485
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 2: fantasy drafts.

486
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's start with the guy that got a man

487
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 4: crush on, and it's a guy that I've come one

488
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 4: to eighty on around and that is Daniel Jones the

489
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 4: New York Giants. Look, Daniel Jones is one of those

490
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 4: scoring duelists out there in fantasyland, and you know always

491
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 4: raises the floor overall a player. Last season twenty eight

492
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 4: combined touchdowns. Yet he struggled behind a shoddy offensive line

493
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 4: with a lot of turnover issues, and that could be

494
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 4: an issue, but that really doesn't hurt you too bad.

495
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 4: It's a slight pinch on your fantasy profile. And you know,

496
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 4: this is a guy that's got I think a better

497
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 4: than advertised weaponry around him with Sterling Shepard and gold

498
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 4: of Tate and Evan Ingram and Darius Slayton, who he

499
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 4: made beautiful music with down the stretch last season, and

500
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 4: the Giants defense is in the running for the league's worst.

501
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 4: That's secondary is an absolute punchline. You know, DeAndre Baker

502
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 4: no longer part of this franchise with his issues off

503
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 4: the field. You lose Xavier McKinney for a couple of

504
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 4: months due to injury. I mean they're already hurt and

505
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 4: they were bad to begin with. So you know, I

506
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 4: think that only you know raises the possibility of Daniel

507
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 4: Jones could be north of four thousand passing yards ago

508
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 4: with three hundred and fifty on the ground, and I

509
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 4: think he's gonna approach thirty combined touchdowns. He's got an

510
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 4: ADP of QB fourteen and I got him right now

511
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 4: at QB eight, So I'm gonna getting my hands on

512
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 4: him wherever I can.

513
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 3: And a guy I'm.

514
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 4: Staying away from his Lamar Jackson. You know, look, it's

515
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 4: really hard to repeat as king of any position in fantasy,

516
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 4: and his efficiency numbers were otherworldly last season inside the

517
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 4: red zone, and I don't know if he can replicate

518
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 4: that success. Now you know, of course, because of the

519
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 4: scoring duality, he's a player that's going to be very valuable.

520
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 4: But you know, you look at some of the sportsbooks

521
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 4: that are out there anywhere between nine to nineteen to

522
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 4: nine seventy five point five as a rush yards line, and.

523
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 10: People are like, over obliterated. Take out a second mortgage.

524
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,719
Speaker 10: I'm all over it, but injuries happen. I think adding JK.

525
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 10: Dobbins to the mix they want to try to alleviate

526
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 10: some of the pressure of Lamar Jackson running the football.

527
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 10: I don't know if you know Baltimore is going to

528
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 10: have him take a large chunk of the thirty seven

529
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 10: point two rushing attempts per game that he logged last

530
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 10: season in terms of the team.

531
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 3: And him getting a lot of that work. But I'm

532
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 3: stepping back.

533
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 4: I can't justify taking a round two around three. If

534
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 4: I'm going early on quarterback, it's Patrick Mahomes, who I

535
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 4: think is going to throw for at least forty touchdowns

536
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 4: this season. Otherwise I wait on the position and get

537
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 4: somebody else later on, like an afore mentioned Daniel Jones.

538
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 3: You're getting well after pick one hundred and average drafts.

539
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 2: Sean, who are you most invested in in most fading

540
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 2: at the quarterback position.

541
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,479
Speaker 6: I would say most invested as Russell Wilson. And you know,

542
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 6: I typically avoid drafting a quarterback early. I think there's

543
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 6: so many options outside of the top twelve, and I

544
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 6: think streaming is going to be incredibly.

545
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 7: Viable this year.

546
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 6: But the one guy that I end up getting when

547
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 6: I do draft a quarterback early, which you know, would

548
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 6: be round six or seven, as Russell Wilson. You know,

549
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 6: if I'm in a lot of expert drafts, everybody's on

550
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 6: the fade quarterback baywagon, so you can usually get him

551
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 6: even later. And you know, when I take Russe Wilson,

552
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 6: I'm expecting Pete Carroll to you know, limit his passing

553
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 6: attempts to close to five hundred like we've seen the

554
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 6: past couple of seasons and him still putting up top

555
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 6: five numbers. But there is the potential that hashtag let

556
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 6: Russ Cook does happen this year, and I think that

557
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 6: in that situation, he is pushing Tier one numbers, so

558
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 6: that I think with Russelson, you have that baked in upside. Again,

559
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 6: I'm not banking on it. I'm banking on five hundred

560
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 6: attep Russelson and that's still pretty good. So that's that's

561
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 6: why of all the quarterbacks that go in that range,

562
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 6: Russe Wilson is what I have the most exposure to.

563
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 6: And when it comes to guys that you know I'm fading,

564
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 6: that would probably Aaron Rodgers just based on his ADP.

565
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 6: He's still going inside the top twelve and a lot

566
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 6: of drafts and you know, we've talked about length, you

567
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 6: know how the Packers really haven't done anything to help him.

568
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 6: We've seen his rushing ability to declient and that's been

569
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 6: one of his you know, the things that he's provided

570
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 6: over the years is he had the sneaky rushing upside.

571
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 6: But so many quarterbacks offering that and him on the decline,

572
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 6: there's really no upside in taking Rogers inside the top twelve. Again,

573
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 6: there's so many guys outside of the top twelve that

574
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 6: I think are worth a flyer or we're gonna have

575
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 6: the ability to stream in season. So Air Rodgers I

576
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 6: have almost no shares of, which is pretty crazy.

577
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 2: Rat Ball, And who are you investing in and who

578
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: are you fading? At the quarterback position?

579
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 5: Most invested probably Joe Burrow.

580
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 8: If you look back at the guys drafted first overall

581
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 8: that started, you know, fourteen or more games, they've had

582
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 8: a medium finish with QB ten over the last decade.

583
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 5: So I really like Burrow.

584
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 8: I like the fact that that Bengal defense is not

585
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 8: going to be great, and so you're gonna you're gonna

586
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 8: see a quarterback that's probably gonna throw it around and

587
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 8: he can run too. He's one of the most efficient

588
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 8: running quarterbacks in college football. Daniel Jones. I have a

589
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 8: ton of as well, just because I want to be

590
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 8: exposed to guys who can run. Just because if you

591
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 8: look at the top six and Josh Allen included, to

592
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 8: really the top seven, all of them add points with

593
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 8: their legs to varying degrees, and to try to beat

594
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 8: that over the course of a season, you're gonna need

595
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 8: that rushing upside. So Jones, Burrow, Gardner, Minshew's a guy

596
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 8: get waid a lot, and of the pocket passers, Matthew

597
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 8: Stafford is a guy that that I'm investing in at

598
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 8: like where he goes and guys I'm fading, Yeah, Aaron

599
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 8: Rodgers and I don't get too much of the of

600
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 8: the top six guys either, especially Kyra Murray at his

601
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 8: ADP sadly, I think he goes sometimes he goes before

602
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 8: some of the other guys in the top six, and

603
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 8: I prefer Watson and Dak and uh and Russ over him.

604
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 2: Rabon, I'm with you on the guys. You're fading all

605
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 2: of the top six, I'd say you, especially with Brad

606
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson. I like him, but I just don't want

607
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,239
Speaker 2: to have to have to pay up for him. And

608
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 2: if I'm looking to stack, that's maybe a situation in

609
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 2: which I would possibly draft one of those quarterbacks early.

610
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 2: But I just prefer to be stacking, you know, the

611
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: guys on Kansas City instead of the guys on Baltimore.

612
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 2: Uh So, I'm I'm fading really all those quarterbacks in

613
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 2: the top six. And Raywan, you mentioned the rushing upside

614
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 2: of the top six, and that really is one of

615
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 2: the main reasons to be investing in those guys if

616
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 2: you're going to do it. I feel like with Cam

617
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: Newton you can get that rushing upside without having to

618
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 2: spend that draft capital. And so Newton is the guy

619
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: I'm most invested in. Honestly, I'm surprised that his ADP

620
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 2: hasn't gotten higher, And I think it's just people who

621
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 2: are worried about what happened at the end of twenty

622
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 2: eighteen when he really tailed off and then missed the

623
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 2: last two games, and then obviously worried about what happened

624
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen when he played two games clearly wasn't

625
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 2: himself and then missed the rest of the season. And

626
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 2: you know, maybe people are unsure about how he's going

627
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: to transition from the Carolina offense to the Patriots offense.

628
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 2: But I mean, I want as much Cam Newton as

629
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 2: I can have, So he's the guy at the quarterback

630
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: position that I am easily the most invested in. Brad,

631
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 2: I want to kick it to you for running backs,

632
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: the guys who are most invested in and the guys

633
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 2: you are most actively fading. Well, yeah, a guy I'm

634
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 2: most invested in is Chris Carson.

635
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 4: You know, a return to practice this week getting a

636
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 4: few SI from Pete Carroll. And he never does that, guys, like, never,

637
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 4: never does a PD sunshine just throw a praise about anybody. No,

638
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 4: And obviously I'm being sarcastic there, he does that all

639
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 4: the damn time. But Chris Carson, you know, another one

640
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 4: of those advanced analytics darlings. A guy that was top

641
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 4: ten in yards to contact per attempt last season, top

642
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 4: ten and misstackle percentage, top ten in yards created per

643
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 4: touch just gets.

644
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 3: The job done.

645
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 4: Is a battering ram. You know, you worry some people like,

646
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 4: well what about the hit man, Well he didn't have surgery,

647
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 4: and you know, by all accounts he's one hundred percent healthy,

648
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 4: good to go. And this is going to be a

649
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 4: conservative offensive scheme. You know, you do have dk Metcalfe,

650
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 4: do we have Tyler Lockett there? They have about ten

651
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 4: thousand tight ends on roster. But this team is still

652
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 4: going to run early and often, and largely on the

653
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 4: legs of Chris Carson.

654
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 3: I'm not worried about Carlos hot I'm not worried about

655
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 3: rookie DJ Dallas taking much of the workload.

656
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be another twelve hundred yards and

657
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,479
Speaker 4: close to ten touchdowns for him this season. And then

658
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 4: the guys I'm avoiding, obviously Todd Gurley because he's got

659
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,479
Speaker 4: an arthritic and I want nothing to do with a

660
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 4: degenerative need a running back. And you know, I understand

661
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,719
Speaker 4: Atlanta's a favorable team to be on. You know, they

662
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 4: had a top fifteen offensive line in terms of run

663
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 4: blocking efficiency last season. Gonna live inside the red zone,

664
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 4: gonna put in a bunch of numbers on the scoreboard,

665
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 4: but you know he's going inside the top twenty the

666
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 4: running back position, and there are risks, major risks attached there.

667
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 4: And we've seen his secondary analytics really deteriorate here the

668
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 4: last couple of seasons. They were masked last season by

669
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 4: the fact that they had fourteen touchdowns. You know, I

670
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 4: think it could be Stephen Jackson, the sequel guys all

671
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 4: over again, just like Jackson was with the Saint Louis Rams,

672
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 4: then he went to Atlanta. He was older, he fell

673
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 4: off the I think Todd Gurley could suffer a similar

674
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 4: fate with Dirk Cutter. You know, another piece of connective

675
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 4: tissue there calling the shots for this Atlanta franchise. I

676
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 4: want nothing to do with Gurley. And I'm also not

677
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,959
Speaker 4: touching Melvin Gordon either. Lavier in Denver. I think Gordon's

678
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 4: gonna get probably sixty five percent of the workload. But

679
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 4: another guy who we're seeing a road right before our eyes,

680
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 4: whether with the eye test whether with the numbers underneath

681
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 4: the surface, and you've got, you know, a thousand yard

682
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 4: back to back, thousand yard rusher breathing down your neck

683
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 4: there and Phillip lindsay, so love me some Carson avoiding

684
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 4: those those old krusty running backs, and Gordon and Todd Gurley.

685
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 2: John who do you like and who you stayed away from?

686
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 6: So for most invested, it's tough to say anybody you

687
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 6: know ranked inside the top twenty five because I think

688
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 6: that you know, your draft order usually dictates what running

689
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 6: backs you even have exposure to, so I'm pretty spread

690
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 6: out among those guys. So my two most invested running

691
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 6: backs are Zach Moss and Boston Scott. A lot of

692
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 6: it has to do with like the ability to get

693
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 6: them way later. You have way more control over those

694
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 6: types of backs, But those are the type of running

695
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 6: backs that I do like to get later, where you

696
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 6: know I would conservative the backups heading into week one,

697
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 6: but you know they probably don't even need the starting

698
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 6: running back to get hurt to see flex value. Their

699
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 6: role is probably big enough and they're in an offense

700
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 6: that can warrant that. But they both have high end

701
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 6: RB two upside. If this arger were to get hurt.

702
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 6: So that's that's why those are the two type backs

703
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 6: I've been gravitating to later in the draft. But I

704
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 6: will say that Zach Moss is going way too early now,

705
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 6: so I've been kind of backing off on him.

706
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 7: I think the hype with him is maybe a little

707
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 7: bit out of control.

708
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 6: But you know, earlier on when you were able to

709
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 6: get him beyond round ten, I think that's when I

710
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 6: was loading up on him. But you know, be careful.

711
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 6: You don't want to be drafting him around seven because

712
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 6: there is some some risk and taking guy that you

713
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 6: might not be starting every week. So just a word

714
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 6: of cash on that. But those are my top to

715
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 6: own running backs and then the ones that I'm avoiding.

716
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 6: I mean, Brad mentioned two of them, but it's it's

717
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 6: that whole or was that Todd Gurley, Leonard Fournette and

718
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 6: Melvin Gordon. Le'Veon belt here already dodge a bolt with Fournette,

719
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 6: but you know they're going at a point in the

720
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 6: draft where you're kind of just you know, panicking because

721
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 6: you don't have the resected running back and they start

722
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 6: to go pretty fast.

723
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 7: So you take one of these guys, but.

724
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 6: They're really going in a position you should be drafting

725
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 6: wide receiver because I think that part of the draft

726
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 6: is really loaded and they all have various concerns, and

727
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 6: Brad mentioned it, but I would say Melvin Gordon is

728
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 6: the first running back off the board where you can't

729
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 6: really say that he's gonna be the starting running back

730
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 6: the entire season, even when healthy. I am a bit

731
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 6: worried about Philip Lindzai And once you start having questions

732
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 6: mark question marks like that, you don't really want to

733
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 6: be dressing that like that round four that that is

734
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 6: the frozen pond conundrum. So that's the tier I've been avoiding,

735
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 6: like I said, already avoided a landmine.

736
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 7: Leonard Fournette.

737
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 2: All right, Raymond, who are you investing and who are

738
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 2: you divesting? Yeah?

739
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 8: I totally agree with the with the fade with Sean

740
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 8: and you know those those running backs in the in

741
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 8: that third fourth round, you've got to be taking wide

742
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 8: receivers there or Mark Andrews a guy take a out there.

743
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 8: So and then yeah, like it's hard to get any

744
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 8: too much of any one guy in the first or

745
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 8: second round. But guys, wait, I take a out of

746
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 8: our same thing with Moss before his adp rows.

747
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 5: Tony Pollard is a guy get a lot.

748
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 8: I think there's a chance that they use him a

749
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 8: little like Time Montgomery back in back in Green Bay

750
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 8: with McCarthy, Alexander Madison, just because we've had this uncertainty

751
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 8: with Dalvin Cook and Withavious Murray. Just kind of the

752
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 8: guys that you know, right on that precipice of blowing

753
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 8: up if the starter goes down. I also get some

754
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 8: Darrnton Evans. I know there's been kind of conflicting reports

755
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 8: in camp, but there's really nobody else behind him in Tennessee,

756
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 8: and you know, there's a lot of running back carries

757
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 8: to go.

758
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 5: Around if Derrick Henry were to go down.

759
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 8: So just really trying to stack up on guys who

760
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 8: maybe not right now, but you know a little bit

761
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 8: further into the season could blow up. And then as

762
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 8: far as the rookies, JK. Dobbins has been one that

763
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 8: I've been getting a lot of as well, just because

764
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 8: I think they were actively trying to monitor mark Ingram's work.

765
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 8: Well last year he hardly ever even cleared fifteen carries.

766
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 8: He was always like right in this that that range,

767
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 8: and so you know, I think Dobbins has a chances

768
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 8: based on how talented he is to really kind of

769
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 8: see told her that that backfield and even made Ingram

770
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 8: the the one b so I get a out of

771
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 8: him too.

772
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 2: I agree with you on a lot of the running

773
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 2: backs in rounds three and four I'm wanting to avoid.

774
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 2: But the one guy, if I'm investing in a running

775
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 2: back in that range that I'm getting, I'm getting a

776
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 2: lot of him is James Connor. And you know, months

777
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 2: ago you could get him in round four. Now he's

778
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 2: you know, kind of bumped up to the top of

779
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 2: round three in a lot of a lot of sharper drafts. Uh.

780
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 2: And so I'm still taking him there if I'm wanting

781
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 2: a running back, but I you know, he's he's not

782
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 2: as much of a value as he used to be,

783
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 2: but he is the guy I'm probably most invested in

784
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 2: in that range. And then a guy a couple of

785
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 2: rounds later that I'm just unreasonably invested in, uh is

786
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 2: cam Akers and it has you know, the reason is

787
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 2: a lot of what Brad talked about why we would

788
00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 2: want to fade Todd Gurley, even though Gurley was you

789
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 2: know degenerative need. Last year, he was still getting a

790
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 2: lot of production within that RAMS offense, and I think

791
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 2: a lot of that this year is going to go

792
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 2: to Acres. Just based on the recruitment status that he

793
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 2: had as a five star recruit entering college, the production

794
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 2: he had at Florida State, even though he was running

795
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 2: behind one of the worst offensive lines in all of

796
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 2: college football. The fact that he's young right, only twenty

797
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 2: one years old as a rookie, the fact that he

798
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 2: is fantastically athletic over two hundred and fifteen pounds but

799
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 2: ran a sub four point five forty times. I think

800
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 2: he's good enough as a receiver to be a three

801
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 2: down back within that offense. So he is someone I

802
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 2: am really actively going after. You know, sometimes you could

803
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 2: get him in rounds seven, even rounds eight a couple

804
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 2: of months ago. You can't get him there now, But

805
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 2: in rounds five, round six, I still like cam Akers.

806
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 2: So he is really the guy that I'm going after

807
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 2: the most. And again just want to emphasize this part.

808
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 2: The running backs in rounds three and four, for the

809
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 2: most part not all that into them. Also, the running

810
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 2: backs going in that eight to fourteen range at the position,

811
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 2: especially Aaron Jones. I think, you know, AJ Dillon and

812
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 2: his magnificent tree trunks might end up stealing just enough

813
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 2: touchdowns to make Aaron Jones a little less investable. The

814
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 2: one guy in that RB eight to RB fourteen range

815
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 2: I do like is Austin Eckler. But in general, I'm

816
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 2: staying away from a lot of those running backs RB

817
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: eight to RB fourteen brand wide receivers. Who do you

818
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 2: like and who you're staying away from?

819
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 3: There's a couple of guys I really like.

820
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 4: Two guys that are being drafted as wide receiver for

821
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 4: threes that are rather inexplicable to me. Michael Gallup of

822
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 4: the Dallas Cowboys mainly comes to mind. A guy top

823
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 4: twenty and so many advanced analytics categories. Last season, you know,

824
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 4: Mike McCarthy has come out and said he's a true

825
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 4: blue number one. You know what Amari Cooper is. We

826
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 4: call him the Cooper Cooper for a reason because it

827
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 4: doesn't smell like Pope ma Rie. Every single week it's up, down,

828
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 4: it's up, it's down. He is a roller coaster ride

829
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 4: of inconsistency. I want nothing to do with him, so

830
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 4: obviously I would divest from all shares of Amari Cooper

831
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 4: and if you want to invest in a Dallas Cowboys

832
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 4: wide receiver, and no, I'm not seeing Ceedee Lamb. No,

833
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 4: I'm not necessarily buying into the Blake Jarwin hype. I

834
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,439
Speaker 4: think it's going to be Michael Gallup, who you know again,

835
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 4: I think it's going to build off last season and

836
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 4: he only had a fifty eight point nine catch percentage.

837
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 4: This offense is going to be humming and they're going

838
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 4: to be scoreboard chasing as well, because the defense is

839
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 4: rather horrendous on paper. Losing Jerald McCoy here in training

840
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 4: camp as well. Tyler Boyd's another guy that I really

841
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 4: like as well for Cincinnati. You know, I agree with

842
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 4: what Raybond was saying about Joe Burrow. I think Joe

843
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 4: Burrow is a minimum top fifteen quarterback this season. That

844
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 4: guy is the coolest cat around, you know, whether it's

845
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 4: smoking celebratory cigars post championship, you know, hanging out at

846
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 4: the White House reading his phone. I mean, he just

847
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 4: does it all man, and he just does it smoothly,

848
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 4: and you know in his delivery on the feat has

849
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 4: been unbelievable. Bill Callahan had a quote two weeks ago

850
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 4: that blew my mind. In training camp, he told Joe Burrow, Yo,

851
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 4: slow down, you're going too fast and advancing the playbook.

852
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 4: These other guys aren't caught up. I mean, that's how

853
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 4: advanced he is. Cerebrally, He's absorbed this entire thing. He

854
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 4: already knows the playbook like the back of his hand.

855
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 4: I think it's all contingent on the health of AJ Green,

856
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 4: and then Boyd is going to get his no matter what.

857
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 4: In fact, with AJ Green in the lineup, historically, he's

858
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 4: been better, more productive from a fantasy perspective. And you know,

859
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 4: having now a very accurate quarterback if you can make

860
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 4: all fields throws. And just like Raybondsen, that defense being

861
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 4: overly forgiving is only going to increase the opportunities for

862
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 4: Tyler Boyd to cash.

863
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 3: So again, a void Tomari Cooper, I would.

864
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 4: Definitely buy in a Michael Gallup and also Tyler Boyd.

865
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 4: And then you know, look at some of the other

866
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 4: wide receivers that are out there that I'm not real

867
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 4: high on.

868
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 3: You know, I mentioned Calvin Ridley.

869
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 4: I know a lot of people think it's going to

870
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 4: be a smash spot, but I want to see, you know,

871
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 4: if that target share can increase, because I'm not necessarily

872
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 4: convinced that's going to be the case, especially if Hayden

873
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 4: Hurst delivers on all fronts. So I would say, you know,

874
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 4: pump the brakes. Don't overspend on Calvin Ridley. You know

875
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 4: you can get him at like wide receiver twenty one,

876
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 4: twenty two, fine, but at wide receiver fifteen too rich

877
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 4: for my blood. And then a couple of other guys.

878
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 4: I'm also heavily invested in Courtland Sutton. I live in Denver.

879
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 4: He's been unstoppable in training camp. It's all about Drew

880
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 4: Lock and whether he can produce and Devonte Parker. And

881
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 4: I know Parker has been dealing with some injury, but

882
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 4: Ryan Fitzpatrick's going to be the starting quarterback I think

883
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 4: for at least ten games this season.

884
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 3: Two was not ready.

885
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 4: He's not looked at great so far in training camp

886
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 4: in terms of executing the system. So, you know, I

887
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 4: think Devonte Parker people like, oh, well that was a mirage,

888
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 4: that was an anomaly last year. Yeah, he may take

889
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 4: a slight step back. And I'm not worried about Preston Williams,

890
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 4: who was terribly inefficient last season. Miami is gonna throw

891
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 4: a lot, and Devonte Parker was fabulous and catestic catch situations.

892
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 4: He was also very efficient inside the red zone as well,

893
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 4: and I think that's going to transfer nicely to twenty twenty.

894
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 2: All right, Sean, who are you investing in a and

895
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 2: who are you fading?

896
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 6: The guys that have the most exposure too are number

897
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 6: one Calvern Lee, and a lot of that has to

898
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 6: do with starting drafts in May. I mean I was

899
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 6: getting him in round five most of the time. If

900
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 6: he's gone in round three, I'm probably not reaching for him,

901
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 6: to be honest, I think round four it still makes

902
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 6: a ton of sense. But I have a lot of

903
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 6: him from earlier in the draft season, but lately I've

904
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 6: been getting quite a bit of Terry McLaurin as well.

905
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 6: I just think he goes to just a perfect spot

906
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 6: in the draft. So if he falls around six, I'm

907
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 6: getting him every time. When Kelvin Harmon went down, I

908
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 6: think it just means that his target share is going

909
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 6: to be massive, and I am expecting Haskins to have

910
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 6: a your two lead. But I think with the Alex

911
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 6: Smith news, it kind of raises mclaurin's floor, because if

912
00:41:55,920 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 6: Haskins bombs that much, they could put in Alex Smith.

913
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 6: I mean, we've self to honor his health, but I

914
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 6: think that does give him at least a competent backup quarterback.

915
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 6: So that makes it a little bit safer to draft maclaurin.

916
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 6: And then the other guy that I'm getting way later

917
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 6: in the draft. I just think that he's clearly the

918
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 6: Packers number two as Alan was our you know, I

919
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 6: consider him bench depth, but he does have a good

920
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 6: high Florence ceiling combo, so I think where he's going

921
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 6: in the draft way later. You know, I do like

922
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 6: to take risks when it comes to my bench, but

923
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 6: I think he does offer just solid bench depth, especially

924
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 6: this season where I think it is going to be key.

925
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 7: I think Brad.

926
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 6: Matchett earlier, you know, to have flexibility and your bench

927
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 6: is going to be a little bit more important this year.

928
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 6: So I think having Alec Bizar is going to be

929
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 6: crucial for a season like this. And when it comes

930
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 6: to guys that I'm fading, I would say I'm fading him,

931
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 6: but I think that I probably just have Hopkins a

932
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 6: tier lower than most people. I consider him to be

933
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 6: part of the Kenny Galladay Chris Godwin tier, whereas I

934
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 6: think a lot of people have him closer to the Tyreek,

935
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 6: DeVante Adams, Julioick tier, which I think those guys are

936
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 6: clearly better. So he's kind of been no man's land

937
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 6: for me, and I'm just not getting him many of

938
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 6: my drafts.

939
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 7: I just think he's going to make.

940
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 6: The Cardinals offense better, not the Cardinals offense making him better.

941
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 6: I think he's what he is, you know, I don't

942
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 6: really see him getting more than eight touchdown, so he's

943
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 6: He's not a guy that I'm getting a ton of

944
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 6: in drafts for that reason, and at Alan Robinson I

945
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 6: mentioned him last podcast. I just think that last season,

946
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 6: his ninety eight catch, you know, eleven hundred and fifty yard,

947
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 6: seven touchdown season is basically this ceiling in this offense,

948
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 6: and I don't think it really matters whether it's Nick

949
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 6: Foles or Mitch Trubisky that wins the job.

950
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 7: I think he's he's capped based on this offense.

951
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 6: And I went a more than length last episode, but

952
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 6: just a lot of the context of why his target

953
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 6: share is so massive is a bit different this year,

954
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 6: So I consider him more of a you know, a

955
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 6: high to mid range wide receiver two, but a lot

956
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 6: of my drafts people consider him a low wide receiver.

957
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 7: One. I'm just not willing to take him there, Raybon.

958
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 2: Who do you love and who do you hate?

959
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 5: So?

960
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 8: I like a lot of the kind of boring, un

961
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 8: sexy guys that have, you know, either consistent offenses or

962
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 8: good quarterback production that people kind of sleep on. Uh So,

963
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 8: Cooper Cup is a guy I get a ton of

964
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 8: Robert Woods.

965
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,760
Speaker 5: Tyra Lockett. I love him.

966
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 8: He's kind of like the poor Man's Breeze Thomas in

967
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 8: terms of efficiency.

968
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 5: But people are worried about his targets.

969
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 8: Part of the reason he doesn't get a lot of

970
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 8: targets because he's so efficient with him, you.

971
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 5: Know, getting Chuck plays.

972
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,760
Speaker 8: So you know, he's a guy that if his targets

973
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 8: just blow up a little bit, you know he'll be

974
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 8: right there in that conversation, you know, for a high

975
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 8: end wide receiver. One.

976
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 5: UH love Marquise Brown for a breakout year.

977
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 8: I love taking Will Fuller as my you know, number

978
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 8: four wide receiver if he if I can get him

979
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,439
Speaker 8: that late and I already have three because I think

980
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 8: he's he's got a chance to be He's likely going

981
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 8: to be the number one for Watson. He's the only

982
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 8: guy that really has that chemistry with him among you know,

983
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 8: the top targets, So getting a ton of him, and

984
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 8: then late late, I'm getting a lot of Steven Simms Junior.

985
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 8: He's the guy who started in Washington over the last

986
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 8: four weeks and average nine targets, average a touchdown per

987
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 8: game over the last four games. Quote four, five, six,

988
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 8: and five balls and listen, Washington. They don't even have

989
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 8: a tight end Adrian Peterson. If he's gonna start running back,

990
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 8: he doesn't catch passes like these targets have to go

991
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 8: somewhere besides mclauren and Steven Simms been having a good camp.

992
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 8: Kind of a guy that's going to be I think

993
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 8: on a field almost every place. So getting a lot

994
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 8: of him and guys I'm fading. It's kind of that

995
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 8: that Hopkins Godwin, with the exception of Galladay. You know

996
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 8: that Hopkins Godwin, Evans, Alan Robinson, Amari Cooper Tier, you

997
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 8: know nothing totally against those guys that I do agree that,

998
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 8: you know, Cooper att is going to have some inconsistencies,

999
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 8: but it's just that the value at that point it

1000
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 8: is not quite there. I'd rather get either, you know,

1001
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 8: one of the lower end of that that running back

1002
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 8: tier before it drops off, or get like a Mark

1003
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 8: Andrews or something.

1004
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 5: So I'm kind of staying away from those.

1005
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 2: Guys rabon so much disrespect to Logan Thomas in Washington.

1006
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 2: I mean, come on saying they don't have a tight end.

1007
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 5: I mean it's ugly.

1008
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 2: It's ugly there, all right. So the wide receiver I

1009
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 2: am easily most invested in is DeShawn Jackson, and I

1010
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 2: think of him as a version of Will Fuller, except

1011
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 2: obviously much much older. You know, he's in an offense

1012
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 2: that could provide him with a good number of opportunities,

1013
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 2: especially now with Jalen Rager injured and we don't know

1014
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 2: what's going to happen with him. Alshon Jeffery, we don't

1015
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 2: know really when he's going to be coming back. There

1016
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 2: could just be a lot of opportunities for Deshaun Jackson.

1017
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 2: And as long as he can stay healthy. I know

1018
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 2: that's a big if, but if he gives us thirteen games,

1019
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 2: and I think there's a pretty decent chance he does that,

1020
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 2: If he gives us thirteen games, he I think has

1021
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,720
Speaker 2: a decent chance of leading that team in air yards.

1022
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 2: So very optimistic about Deshaun Jackson, especially given that you

1023
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 2: can get him very late in your drafts. So he's

1024
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 2: guy I'm very invested in. And then I'm going to

1025
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 2: second someone Sean mentioned DeAndre Hopkins. Nothing against Hopkins. I

1026
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 2: still think, you know, in real football, he's a top

1027
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 2: five wide receiver in the game. I just think that

1028
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 2: the transition to Arizona might be a little bit harder

1029
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 2: than people are anticipating. I don't think he's going to

1030
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,720
Speaker 2: get as many targets as he's had in previous seasons,

1031
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,720
Speaker 2: and the target chair really has been what has boosted

1032
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 2: him to just atmospheric levels of production. I don't think

1033
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 2: we're going to get there this year. So that means

1034
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 2: I have basically no Hopkins, even though he's not someone

1035
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 2: I'm actively going out of my way to stay away from.

1036
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 2: I just end up getting no no Hopkins because I'm just,

1037
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 2: you know, kind of looking elsewhere. But yeah, he's one

1038
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 2: I am. I've realized I have zero Hopkins. Brad. Let's

1039
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 2: talk about these tight ends. The guys you like and

1040
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 2: the guys you are fading.

1041
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, guys, I like, I mean, there's a lot of

1042
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 4: and this is unprecedented depth in my mind. Now I

1043
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 4: say this now you know September first, but you know,

1044
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 4: come like November first, it's going to be a desert

1045
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 4: with rolling tumbleweed.

1046
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 3: That's how it always seems to be a tight end.

1047
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 3: But man, I love Chris herdon. I don't know why.

1048
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 4: I mean investing in an Adam Gay's tight end. It

1049
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 4: is a very scary proposition. I will say that that's

1050
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 4: like going into a dark room and a horror film.

1051
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 4: But you know, I do like the athletics. I like

1052
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 4: what he did in his rookie season. You know, had

1053
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 4: a high a dot that year, really impressed and then

1054
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 4: of course he had the off the field issues, the

1055
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 4: injuries last season. Now he's healthy, now he's expected to

1056
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,879
Speaker 4: be a centerpiece. You know, all local reports are saying

1057
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 4: he's got a budding, blossoming chemistry with Sam Darnold. The

1058
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 4: Jets are going to be bad and pretty woeful defensively,

1059
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 4: so you know, there could be a lot of opportunities.

1060
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 4: If you're looking for this year's Darren Waller, it could

1061
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:24,760
Speaker 4: indeed be Chris Herndon.

1062
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 3: So I'm really high on him, and then guys that

1063
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 3: I'm avoiding is Tyler Higbee in particular.

1064
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 4: You know, Tyler Higby is a guy people buying him

1065
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 4: right now and like tight end seven, tighten eight, and

1066
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 4: I don't get it. I know it's recency biased because

1067
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 4: he had four or under yard games at the last five,

1068
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 4: but that was without Gerald Everett on the field, and

1069
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 4: whenever it was on the field earlier in the season,

1070
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,800
Speaker 4: in ten games, he averaged thirty two point one yards

1071
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:52,240
Speaker 4: per game and had one that's right, one touchdown. Cooper

1072
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 4: Cup is a centerpiece inside the red zone. I'm expecting

1073
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 4: positive TD regression for Robert Woods. You mentioned cam Akers

1074
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 4: a focal point of this offense. I want nothing to

1075
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 4: do with Tyler Higgate his current ADP. I think people

1076
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 4: are grossly overpaying for his services.

1077
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 2: On tight ends. Talk to me.

1078
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 6: My most owned tight ends are Hayden Hurst and Dallas Goddard.

1079
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 6: When it comes to hayden Hurst, you know, anytime he

1080
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 6: falls outside of the top ten, I'm going to be

1081
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 6: taking him.

1082
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 2: You know.

1083
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 6: I think a lot of that has to do with

1084
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 6: why I like Austin Hooper last year, and that's just

1085
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 6: dirt Cutter offenses turnout tight end ones. I mean, if

1086
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 6: you look at the past ten seasons, he's turned out

1087
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,720
Speaker 6: seven tight end ones. And it's a propria of different

1088
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 6: tight ends. So you have Mercedes Lewis on the Jaguars,

1089
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 6: Tony Gonzalez, the Goat, cam Bray, OJ Howard and then

1090
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 6: Austin Hooper last year. So and I think it's no

1091
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 6: surprise that after Dirt Cutter left Camp Bay last year,

1092
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 6: you know, cam Bray and OJ Howard both busted. So

1093
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 6: I just believe in his system feeding you know, targets

1094
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 6: of the tight end and hurst, I without doubt he's

1095
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 6: more talented and can do more after the catch than

1096
00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 6: Austin Hooper. So it's scary to think what he can

1097
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 6: do in this offen. So I've been getting him quite

1098
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 6: a bit. And then you know later in the draft.

1099
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 6: I always say that Dallas godd has just that built

1100
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 6: and upside if zach Ertz were in miss time. But

1101
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 6: even when zach ERTs is healthy, I consider him, you know,

1102
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:12,879
Speaker 6: a fringe.

1103
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 7: Tight end one.

1104
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,879
Speaker 6: So especially you know with el Sean Jeffrey not likely

1105
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 6: to start the season, Jalen Rager is now out, Marquise

1106
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 6: Goodwin opted out. You know, I thought this receiving depth

1107
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 6: chart was gonna be a lot better having the season,

1108
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 6: but it's looking a lot more like last year. So

1109
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,760
Speaker 6: I think God will be factor early in the season.

1110
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 6: I think, you know, he's at the point of his

1111
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 6: career where he's only going to get better, So I

1112
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 6: love his upside getting him way later in the draft.

1113
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 7: So I have a ton of him as well.

1114
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 6: And then the tearm avoiding is the Evan Ingram Hunter,

1115
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:44,240
Speaker 6: Henry Tier, you know, taking Bred's point with Taylor Higby.

1116
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 7: You know, I'd go with the way with him.

1117
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 6: If you want to bet on the upside and you

1118
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 6: don't think Gerald Evertt's going to be on the field, match,

1119
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 6: go for it. Take Tyler Heaby because I think he

1120
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 6: does have top five upside at least there's you know,

1121
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,240
Speaker 6: some potential there. But when it comes to Ingram and Henry,

1122
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 6: I just think you're better off waiting for guy like

1123
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,280
Speaker 6: Hurst or one of these many tight ends with upside

1124
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,879
Speaker 6: later in the draft. You know, Ingram hasn't really shown

1125
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 6: that he can say healthy for entire season. They have

1126
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 6: a ton of weapons there. It's hard to see him

1127
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 6: hitting a ceiling. This year and Hunter Henry. You know,

1128
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 6: I'm just down on the passing attack for the Chargers

1129
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 6: in general. So I just think it's a mistake taking

1130
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 6: tight end when they're going. So I have very little

1131
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 6: share of those two.

1132
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 2: Rave on tight end who's hot and who's not.

1133
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:26,360
Speaker 5: I mean, Hayen Hurst.

1134
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 8: I got so much more Hayden Hurst than like every

1135
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 8: other tight end.

1136
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 5: It's not even funny. He'll probably get hurt in like

1137
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 5: week one.

1138
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 8: I do agree that, like there's something to like about

1139
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 8: all those tight ends kind of going, you know, outside

1140
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 8: the top eight. But my issue is that I can't

1141
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 8: choose one. It's like there's all these different guys and

1142
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 8: you know, not all of them are going to hit,

1143
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 8: and so I'm really just kind of in a race

1144
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 8: to get the tight end eight. I don't take as

1145
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 8: many of those guys as maybe some some people are.

1146
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 8: I try to get Hurst if I don't get a

1147
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 8: top four tight end, and I do usually target you know,

1148
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 8: Mark Andrews or zach Ertz because I think, you know,

1149
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 8: Andrews has that upside to ascend into that Kelsey Kittle tire.

1150
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 8: He's a guy that was targeted on one of every

1151
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 8: three pass routes last year with a top three tight end,

1152
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 8: and you know that was running about you know, fifty

1153
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 8: five sixty percent of the routes most weeks for Baltimore,

1154
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 8: So he has huge upside. And then ert is just

1155
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 8: gonna be mister reliable. I mean, you know, Sean mentioned it.

1156
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 8: They don't have a receiving court yet again, it's kind

1157
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 8: of falling by the wayside. So I think Ertz is

1158
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 8: kind of getting swept on because he's a little older,

1159
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 8: he's kind of boring. But I think it's really going

1160
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,399
Speaker 8: to be valuable to have a top four tight end

1161
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 8: or a guy that can kind of like Hurst, you know,

1162
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 8: could be in that Hooper role. Hooper caught five point

1163
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 8: eight balls per game last year. You're gonna need a

1164
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 8: guy like that with that kind of volume to equalize

1165
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 8: what those top four do.

1166
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 5: So those it's been Hurst in the top four for.

1167
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 8: Me, and as far as ye I won't stand away

1168
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 8: from it's largely the guys outside after Hurst. You know,

1169
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 8: I have Hurst ranked as my tight end seven, and

1170
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 8: after that, you know, it gets shaky. I mean, I

1171
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 8: personally think Higbee is going to continue to have the

1172
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 8: same role he has, but that's not a guarantee, and

1173
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 8: so I don't want to kind of, you know, take

1174
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 8: that risk where he's going in ADP because there are

1175
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 8: better receivers, I think, going around him, so I don't

1176
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 8: get a ton of him. And then yeah, all the

1177
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 8: guys after that, I really choose my spots because again,

1178
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 8: I just think it's hard to pick one and that

1179
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 8: leaves you kind of back in no man's line, and

1180
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 8: they're harder to fordict. So tight end is hard to stream,

1181
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 8: you know, weekend week out than a quarterback, you know,

1182
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 8: unless you got the guy going against the Cardinals or

1183
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 8: how we should do last year.

1184
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 2: So all right, So Raybon, you mentioned wanting to stay

1185
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 2: away from the guys after hearst and how it's harder

1186
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 2: to pick out, you know, the guy that really might

1187
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 2: break out. I think I have picked out the guy

1188
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 2: and that's no offense. I think he's absolutely going to smash.

1189
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 2: Of course, I'm probably wrong. A lot of this is

1190
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 2: predicated on the idea that that Denver offense won't be

1191
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 2: as bad as a lot of people are, you know,

1192
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 2: kind of projecting it to be. You know, Brad mentioned

1193
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 2: that he's high on Courtland Sutton. I'm also high on Sutton,

1194
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 2: and again a lot of it has to do with

1195
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 2: that Denver offense under Patch. I think it's going to

1196
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 2: be a faster offense and more of a past focused

1197
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 2: offense than what we saw last year, and so I

1198
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 2: think that's going to result in just more opportunities for

1199
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 2: Noah Fans who had rather Herndon like rookie year, just

1200
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 2: in terms of the efficiency that he had on a

1201
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,840
Speaker 2: per target basis. And Herndon is also someone later in

1202
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 2: drafts that I'm very invested in. But Fans really is

1203
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 2: the guy that I'm going for, which means that I'm

1204
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 2: really looking to stay away from all of the tight

1205
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 2: ends from tight end five to tight end twelve, especially

1206
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 2: Austin Hooper. You know, given that Fance you can get

1207
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 2: him at you know, tight end thirteen to tight end fifteen.

1208
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 2: He is really the guy that I am going for.

1209
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 2: And again just the guys I'm staying away from. I

1210
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 2: have really nobody drafted in that tight end five to

1211
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 2: tight end twelve range, except for a little bit of

1212
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 2: Hayden Hurst when you could get him earlier in draft

1213
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 2: season outside of the top twelve, but since he's moved up,

1214
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 2: I haven't really invested in him. So the guys I'm

1215
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 2: fading really that middle range of tight end five to

1216
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 2: tight end twelve. Uh. You know, some final questions here, Brad,

1217
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 2: if you end up being incredibly wrong about a player,

1218
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 2: who do you think that's going to be?

1219
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:15,760
Speaker 4: Well, it's obviously David Montgomery, right, because I've already doubled

1220
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 4: down on him. And now he's got a tender groin

1221
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 4: and you know, look, I'm willing to massage to get

1222
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 4: it back to full health whatever is necessary. I need

1223
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 4: him on the field, but I have doubled down on

1224
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 4: him because when he does come back, and I've talked

1225
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 4: to some Bears insiders about this, he is the you know, the.

1226
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 3: True blue, unrivaled workhorse in this backfield.

1227
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 4: Now you have offensive line concerns, they were you know,

1228
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 4: in the bottom third and run blocking efficiency for the

1229
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 4: Bears last season. Obviously the quarterback position is a ginormous

1230
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 4: question mark. But the Bears haven't gone out and sign

1231
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 4: a veteran you know, maybe they kicked the tires on

1232
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 4: Leonard Fournette, but as it stands currently, I mean, he's

1233
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 4: going to get twenty touches per game. I'm you know,

1234
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 4: I'm already bleeding on that hill, so I might as

1235
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,919
Speaker 4: well just stay there and just bleed out until I'm

1236
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 4: dead at this juncture.

1237
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,240
Speaker 3: So for me, Dave.

1238
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 4: Montgomery is a guy I'm doubling down on, and I'm

1239
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 4: praying that he's going to be back by at least

1240
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,280
Speaker 4: week two because the early season schedule with the Bears

1241
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 4: is quite delightful.

1242
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 2: Sean, Who's the guy you are going to be wrong about?

1243
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 6: The one guy I could see definitely being wrong about

1244
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 6: is Josh Allen at QB ten. I think it is

1245
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 6: now I'm projecting some regression around the goal line. But

1246
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 6: of course, if he carries over the eight to nine

1247
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:34,800
Speaker 6: rushing touchdowns this year and has the breakout season passing,

1248
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,359
Speaker 6: which I think will have with se funds, I mean

1249
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 6: we could be looking at a Lamar Jackson breakout season.

1250
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 6: I'll look like an idiot with him as my QB ten.

1251
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 6: So that's probably the guy most likely.

1252
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 2: To get wrong, Raybon, who are you going to get wrong?

1253
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 5: It's got to be Will Fuller.

1254
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 8: I mean, I haven't met like wide receiver twenty five

1255
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 8: because I don't like, you can only project miss games

1256
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 8: to such a degree you know of accuracy, so you

1257
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 8: can't have guys that, like you left, You're Chris Thompson,

1258
00:56:59,040 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 8: but you.

1259
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 5: Can't have as of like, you know, ten games or

1260
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 5: something like that.

1261
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 8: So you know, I knock him down a little bit.

1262
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 8: But you know, I'm expecting him to use his number

1263
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 8: one receiver. He hasn't really stayed healthy as a pro,

1264
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 8: and so yeah, I could easily get him wrong. And

1265
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 8: on the flip side, Todd Gurley is a guy that

1266
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 8: I am projecting a little more conservatively because I do

1267
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 8: expect an injury that really hasn't happened yet. You know,

1268
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 8: we haven't seen a lot of miss games from him,

1269
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 8: so if he stays healthy, he could easily OutKick. You know,

1270
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 8: I would say, you know, all of our fades, I

1271
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 8: think we're all kind of fading him. But if he

1272
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 8: stays healthy, he should be he should be good money.

1273
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. A guy that I could see myself being incredibly

1274
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 2: wrong about is Amari Cooper. I haven't projected for a

1275
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 2: lot of the targets within that offense. I think Dallas's

1276
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 2: offense in general is going to be pretty awesome, and

1277
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 2: so I think there are multiple ways in which I

1278
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 2: could be wrong. Maybe that offense isn't as good, right

1279
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 2: maybe the marriage of Mike McCarthy and Kellen Moore doesn't

1280
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 2: result in a lot of fantasy goodness for that team.

1281
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 2: Maybe there is a lot of fantasy goodness to go around,

1282
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 2: but Amari Cooper just doesn't get it. Instead, it goes

1283
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 2: to Michael Gallup or Ceede Lamb. They're just there are

1284
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 2: lots of ways I could end up being wrong about

1285
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 2: Amari Cooper, but I'm aggressively projecting him, and I think

1286
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 2: he's going to have a smash of the season. You

1287
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 2: can see how that could go wrong, All right, Brad,

1288
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 2: One final question here, who's the one player you are

1289
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 2: most convinced is going to be a league winner?

1290
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot of strong candidates here, and this

1291
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 4: is gonna be a very bold take, gentlemen. But if

1292
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 4: and I say this with much hesitancy, if he can

1293
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 4: get sixteen games, and I think it's gonna be David Johnson,

1294
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 4: I really do. He has little to no competition for

1295
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 4: touches outside of Duke. You know, Bill O'Brien is hell

1296
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 4: bent on convincing the masses that trading away DeAndre Hopkins

1297
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 4: was a good thing by all accounts.

1298
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 3: You know, you look at David Johnson.

1299
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 4: He's healthy. He came into camp in great shape. The

1300
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 4: back is no longer an issue. If he can hold up,

1301
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 4: he's gonna get twenty touches per game. And he is

1302
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 4: script agnostic because even if Houston is scoreboard chasing, he's

1303
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 4: gonna be heavily involved as a receiver backfield. And we

1304
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,959
Speaker 4: can't forget what he was weeks one through six last

1305
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 4: year before the ankle injury sapped his production. Maybe was

1306
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 4: averaging over one hundred to twll yards per game. He

1307
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 4: was inside the top ten and Fantasy points per game.

1308
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 4: You know, he's a player you've been consistently getting in

1309
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 4: round four, round five in some cases. And volume speaks

1310
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 4: loudly in fantasy. And David Johnson, if he can recapture

1311
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 4: the magic of a couple of seasons ago, could be

1312
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 4: that guy that you stole in your draft and winds

1313
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 4: up being a top ten running back and a difference maker,

1314
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 4: getting you over the hump and having you hoist the

1315
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 4: hardware in the end.

1316
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 2: There you go. Brad Evans says to take David Johnson

1317
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 2: number one overall. That's what he said, Brad. What do

1318
