So anyway, I had Raymond Summerlin 29 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: on my show two weeks ago and he told me 30 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: about the Flex League that you put on. From everything 31 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: I've heard and read about it, it just sounds awesome. 32 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: Can you tell our listeners a little bit about that? Yeah? Absolutely, 33 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: it's basically getting the experts together to draft in person, 34 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: hang out, go hang out afterwards. I mean, that's that's 35 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 1: half the fun. Really, It's just seeing everybody in person. 36 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: You know, you talk to all these guys on Twitter 37 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: all the time, and we discussed fantasy talk and players 38 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: and all. It's but actually sitting down and just hanging 39 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 1: out and maybe not even talking fancy for a little while. 40 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: It's nice the fun part about it. But Also it's 41 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: the leagues, you know, playing against experts, to being able 42 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: to say, hey, I beat eleven other experts in this 43 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: fantasy league and we get belts. I got it from 44 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: Fantasy jocks, which it's kind of like, you know, you're 45 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 1: kind of like trophies. We get those from you guys 46 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: from Fantasy pros. We're gonna go with the belt directions. 47 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: So yeah, belt if you win the league. And it's 48 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: just it's like I said, it's just a lot of fun. 49 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: It's something that I had asked why it wasn't being 50 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: done since I entered the industry. And yeah, four years 51 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: ago with the up with David Gnos and Jamie Eisenberg, 52 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: we said, screw it, we're gonna do it. Let's just 53 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: let's get it started. That's terrific. I've always been wondering 54 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: why there wasn't something like this, and when I found 55 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: out you were doing it, I was so pumped to 56 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: check it out. Look at the rosters, and I've got 57 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: to say I love Jason Braddock, Starters, Rogers, ap Lacy, 58 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, Doug Baldwin, Kevin White, Colby Fliner, and I 59 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: was looking at your team and it stacked the starters 60 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: and the bench are so good, but you've left fourteen 61 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,839 Speaker 1: dollars on the table. What happened there? That's the that's 62 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: the downside of trying to do two things at once. 63 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: Of course, yeah, that's the problem is I was we 64 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: had the We were using my Fantasy League dot com, 65 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: which is a great website. They gave us all the 66 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: leagues to you know, they waved the fees for us, 67 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: was I really appreciate. But the auction with them, you 68 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: can't since we're doing a live auction. We don't want 69 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: to sit there with the timer and listen to the 70 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: thing going once until we we just want to enter 71 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: the name in the pick. Unfortunately, that's the one thing 72 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: I'm suggesting that they change that for next year. You 73 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: can't do that with them, you can't put it in. 74 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: So we downloaded a different draft application to use it 75 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: time and somebody else was helping with that. But at 76 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: the same time, just in case as a backup, it 77 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: was on another laptop, so I was also writing down 78 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: and keeping track. So there was a couple like I 79 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: didn't notice Marry and Foster went for only twelve dollars. 80 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: I somehow missed that completely. There was actually like two 81 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: or three players, and I'm looking back and I'm like, wait, 82 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: I don't even remember this happening because I was keeping tracks, 83 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: so keeping track and trying to tell everybody how much 84 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: they had budget and they couldn't go over max to 85 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: make sure that nobody bid, and we had to go 86 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: back and say, oh, well, you could have actually spent 87 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: thirteen dollars, and now we have to do that all 88 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: over again. I just kind of lost track in there. 89 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: So unfortunately, yes, fourteen dollars at the table. And the 90 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: biggest kicker about it is I do like my two flexes. 91 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: But when you say, hey, you could have Brandon Marshall 92 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: instead of Ryan Matthews for that fourteen dollars, Yeah, that's 93 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: the real kick. And then that's right there, and it 94 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: especially hurts with Ryan Matthews. This is one of our 95 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: top news items of the week is that the Eagles 96 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: top run blocker and maybe one of the top run 97 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: blockers in the league, Lane Johnson, is facing a ten 98 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: game suspension for PD. So how do you think that's 99 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: going to impact Ryan matthews draft status. I think it 100 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: think it will impact a slight bit. I think it's 101 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: more for the fact that I think it's going to 102 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: impack him more negatively, realistically and a fantasy purpose than 103 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 1: it will draft stockwise, because his draft stocks already depressed 104 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: because you take the assumption of Ryan Matthews never played 105 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: sixteen games. It's the fact though he's probably not going 106 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: to see a lot of passing game work, as we 107 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: all well know. That's why they are and Sproles, I 108 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: think is a little bit undervalued in PPR leagues and formats. 109 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: So but you look at somebody like that and hopefully 110 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: somebody can step up. But this is actually hasn't been 111 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: the best offensive line in a few years because they 112 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: have a lot of good pieces, but it doesn't seem 113 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: like they've ever been able to have all five together healthy. 114 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: So I think you have to take that into account 115 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: as anytime you lose somebody of his caliber. But as 116 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: I said, it's his value is already depressed the start. 117 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: You know, I'm really interested in I'm just intrigued by 118 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews because he had five point zero yards per 119 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: carried last year while Leshaw McCoy was struggling behind that 120 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: horrible offensive line. And the thing about Matthews is you're 121 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: taking a big risk because he's had three concussions. But 122 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: I'm targeting him in a lot of drafts as a 123 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: boom er best guy. Yeah, I think so too is 124 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: I am happy to have him as my flex He's 125 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: not my starting two running backs. The upside if he 126 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: actually makes it through sixteen games is tremendous, and for 127 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: the fact that the touch he's gonna get. But that's 128 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: what he is. Every single year, he's boom or bust, 129 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: and unfortunately it's been a lot more than On a 130 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: similar note, Corty Glenn injured his ankle. He's gonna be 131 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: out for the preseason at least. The NTASY owners want 132 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: to know how's this going to affect Tyrod Taylor and 133 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: Lashaw McCoy. I think that it does a little bit, 134 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: but not too much. I think they have a little 135 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: bit more depth than the Eagles are looking at them, 136 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: obviously at somebody or the caliber McCoy. I think the 137 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: fact that you gotta got offset was there wasn't a 138 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: lot of concerns with him to begin with, because there's 139 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: not a lot of competition behind him. They just signed 140 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: Reggie Bush. The Johnathan Williams might be up there because 141 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: Carlis Williams is suspended as we all know, and was 142 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: out of shape from reports as we heard as well. 143 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: So the biggest thing with McCoy was the touches were 144 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: just gonna be there, and this is a team that's 145 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: still gonna run plenty, And so I don't think it's 146 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: a huge loss in the fact that it's not like 147 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: we're losing to Joe Thomas and the arrest of the 148 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: offensive linefall. Of course, still a really good piece. But 149 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: I think this is one of those situations where there 150 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: was so much positive to all set it that I 151 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: don't I'm not going to move him my rankings. Now 152 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: We've got three receivers. I guess they're all tight ends here. 153 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: Eric ye Broum. We thought he was out for the 154 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: season with An Healey's injury. Turns out you just being 155 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: an ankle scare. And we've got Jimmy I'm sorry, Jordan Matthews, 156 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: who's a wide receiver, please forgive me who he has 157 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: a little bit of a sprain. And then Rob Gronkowski, 158 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: who had a pectorialists you all off season. Do any 159 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: of these guys concern you that this is gonna linger 160 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: all of them? I say, I don't know. I don't 161 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: think that any of them are that. Tyler Iffert's the 162 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: biggest problem. I think, I think, yeah, yeah. I mean 163 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: for the fact that you know, we were talking about 164 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: possibly being out for week one. Now we're talking about 165 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: possibly for the first four weeks, and they every time 166 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: you can talk about that is everything. The thing that 167 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: really the concern is is any time you hear something 168 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: that's not positive at this point of the season, that's 169 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: kind of almost a red flag in and of itself, 170 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: because everything is positive. Everybody looks great. Everybody's ready for 171 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: a week Like Richard Paremi, ste Smith, they're ready for 172 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: week one. This guy looks good. Every running back at 173 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: to stay with the Ravens. Every running back in that 174 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: backfield looks terrific. So far, apparently everything's good. Everybody's looking 175 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: will Sammy Watkins is playing well. But the one that 176 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: we don't hear anything good about as I effort. So 177 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: if you're gonna tell me potentially the first four weeks 178 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: is something he could miss. I just that's somebody. I 179 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: haven't had him in one league. I can't see myself 180 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: drafted him in any league. I see on your rankings 181 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: that you have him significantly lower than the rest of 182 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: the ECR, right, And I guess that's the reason for that. 183 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna be jumping into that later. Since Jake is 184 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: really accurate. I figured it would help you guys to 185 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: hear who's bullish on and who's barish on. So we 186 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: will get into that first. Let's wrap up the news 187 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: of the week. So Jimmy Graham's apparently close to returning 188 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 1: to football activities, which is big news because we thought 189 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: he was gonna miss a big chunk of time, which 190 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham should we expect the not good one. Look, 191 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: think Jimmy Graham wasn't before he got hurt. For I 192 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: don't know what everybody, Jimmy Graham baffles me because we've 193 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: seen Victor Cruz for two years now trying to come 194 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: back from the same exact and we see Jimmy Graham 195 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: is a bigger guy who's obviously you just physics, He's 196 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: gonna put more pressure on his knee just because he's 197 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: a bigger guy. He could say, oh, well, the cuts 198 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: that Kurt Bruce makes it look he's making the same 199 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: kind of cuts as the size that he is. There's 200 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: more weight going around there. Well, why is everybody assuming 201 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: that Jimmy Graham is going to be anything different than 202 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: Victor Cruz and every other person with a Beteller tenn 203 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: teor that has tried to come back from this injury 204 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: and hasn't been able to So you throw that into it. 205 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: And then Jimmy Graham, like I said, he wasn't that good. 206 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: This offense didn't take off until Jimmy Graham left. That's 207 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: when they started to really play. And I'm not saying 208 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: that he can't be good, and I'm not saying they 209 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: can't find a way to incorporate him, but I do 210 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: not understand why anybody is drafting them near tight end one, 211 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: let alone top fifteen, let alone top twenty. There's just 212 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: there's so many guys in that range that have upside 213 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 1: to break out where you know, Okay, maybe my fourteenth round, 214 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: I'll take Jimmy Graham just because you know, if he 215 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: doesn't get ready by week one, I cut him. He'll 216 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: be one of my first cuts. But to take an 217 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: expensive pick on him, when I consider nineteenth round expensive 218 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: because there's a lot of upside people you can still pick, 219 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: it makes no sense to me, because again, you go 220 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: back to it. Even if he was one hundred percent, 221 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: he didn't look very good in that offense. He didn't 222 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: mesh very well. You assume that does get better. But 223 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: at the same time, this isn't ever going to be 224 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: the Jimmy Graham from the Saints ever again, even if 225 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: he is one. Yeah, and it's totally different coming from 226 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: Drew Brees' offense to Russell Wilson's offense where tight ends 227 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: aren't really featured. There's a lot of things I don't 228 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 1: like about Jimmy Graham, and it's kind of laughable that 229 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: people are drafting him so high. Especially I mean, you 230 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: talk about the fourteen or fifteenth round. If it comes 231 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: down to that and I need a tight end, I'm 232 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: picking a high, upset guy like Jared Cook who has 233 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers passing the ball. I mean, his best quarterback 234 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: he's ever had throw to him is probably Vince Young. 235 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: He's had nobody, and now he has Aaron Rodgers. He's 236 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: great at going up and getting the ball. I think 237 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: Jared Cook could be a nice guy in the fourteen 238 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: to fifteenth round. Uh, you've just problems. I've hated Jared Cook. 239 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: It's because every single year for the past upteen years. 240 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: It's like, people get excited about Jared Cook and I'm like, stop, 241 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: You're gonna get three games from Jared Cook and that's 242 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: why people get excited, and then he does nothing for 243 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: the rest of the year. And this might be finally 244 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: the situation that's the problem is like it's almost I 245 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: hate the words coming out of my mouth because this 246 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: is the situation that says, Okay, Jared Cook could finally 247 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 1: do something. He's playing with Aaron Rodgers. He can have 248 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: more consistent weeks than just three games out of the 249 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: season because he askually has a competent offensive quarterback. And 250 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: you know what, there's a big question to the third 251 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: receiver is as you mentioned, Jeff Jazz looks terrible according 252 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: to every single report. As good as an explosive he is, 253 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: Time Montgomery's not healthy. Jared Ardaris is good, but I 254 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: don't know that he's somebody that you want as your 255 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: number three. Davante Adams we saw his flaws last year. 256 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: Hopefully he got me does not like him. No, Aaron 257 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: Arges doesn't apparently like anybody on this team outside of 258 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson, Randall cop and he's been praising Jared Cooks 259 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: so interesting. I'll draft him, but it's gonna be so 260 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: reluctant when I do. Yeah, yeah, I mean, if you 261 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: need a tight end in the fourteen or fifteenth round, 262 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure you're not going to be too excited about 263 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 1: it anyway. But I look at those quarterbacks that he's had. 264 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: I mean, case Keenum is probably the second best quarterback 265 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: he's ever had, and I'm just salivating at the thought 266 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: of him, you know, breaking out with Aaron Rodgers. There's 267 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: a chance. I'm not banking on it, but in the 268 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: fourteen to fifth round, I'll take a chance. Yeah, I'm 269 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: with you at that point. Maybe, but I usually I'm 270 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: still taking running backs in wide receivers. That boy, that's 271 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: the problem. Yeah, yep, I hear you with that. I am. 272 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to load up the back end of my 273 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: bench with wide receivers and running backs too. So let's 274 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: get onto some of the guys you're bullshmbarra Sewan. This 275 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: is a new segment that we're going to do throughout 276 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: the preseason when we have experts on and basically, Jake's 277 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: gonna give us a scoop on who he's high on. 278 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: And who he's low on, and what we're gonna compare 279 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: this against his ECR or expert consensus rankings. We've got 280 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: over a hundred experts who are ranking these guys, and 281 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: we can see which guys really stand out for Jakes, 282 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: guys that he's high on. So let's start with David Johnson. 283 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: You're apparently a lot higher on David Johnson than others. 284 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: You have him number one in your rankings, which is 285 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: four spots higher than ECR and five higher than ADP. 286 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: So why do you like David Johnson so much? Because 287 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: I love his talent the same reason I was talking 288 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: about him last year coming out of the draft, who 289 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: is my second running back only right behind Todd Gurley, 290 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: And unfortunately I called him like the lottery ticket, which 291 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: just want to keep telling everybody to do. Is when 292 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: you were just talking about like Jared Cook is like 293 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: your bench spots, as you always look for upside guys 294 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: on your bench. But at the same time, people got 295 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: impatient with David Johnson last year, and it's understandable. You 296 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: know that Chris Johnson situation was something that they didn't 297 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: see coming in the off season until it happened, and 298 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: that changed the whole thing. But I still believe that 299 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: when I say lottery ticket is you do draft upside. 300 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: But I'm telling people this year is draft one person 301 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: where you're you suck it up, hold on to him 302 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: for eight weeks out of the season, even if you 303 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: have to wait somebody that could change the second half 304 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 1: of the season bring you a championship. Those are the 305 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: type of players like David Johnson that I say hold 306 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 1: on to. And that's where I saw the talent fast year, 307 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: and the talent is still there. He is amazing. I 308 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: know we're all, well not all, but there's people out 309 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: there are worried about that one beat reporter who keeps 310 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: saying Chris Johnson's gonna be in the fold so much. 311 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: I don't buy it whatsoever, because you just don't ignore 312 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: the best talent. The biggest thing with this too is 313 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: let's say Chris, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you. Let's 314 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: say we're wrong and Chris Johnson has six, eight ten 315 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: touches a game. What I say about David Johnson. Has 316 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: anybody ever been concerned about Jamal Charles only getting fifteen 317 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: carries a game? No, Jamal Charles exactly he's never been 318 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: a consistent twenty carry per game type of guy for 319 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: fantasy purposes. Because he gets fifteen carries, six to seven receptions, 320 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: and he's going for one hundred and fifty yards every 321 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: single week. That's what David Johnson could do. And he's 322 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: already lying on the offensive line at times two as 323 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: a wide receiver. So you know what, you give me 324 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: fifteen carries about him, I don't care because he's still 325 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: gonna get six or seven catches. He's still gonna get 326 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty plus yards every single week. So 327 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: the twenty carries, I think that's the thing that people 328 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: are scared about. It just makes no sense to me. 329 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: You know, I watch him play and I can't see 330 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: any running back in the NFL. This includes Todd Gurley 331 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: and Adrian Peterson, who has more potential than David Johnson. 332 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: He is a freak of nature and he gets so 333 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: many targets in that great off I mean, you compare 334 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: him to Todd Gurley, I think he's better and he's 335 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: in a much better offense. I really like David Johnson, 336 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: but I'm a little bit scared because everyone was really 337 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: excited about CJ. Anderson last year after he had that 338 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: great end of the season run and then he was 339 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: just crying, you're doing that on purpose because un my CG. 340 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: Anderson love like, hey, I'm back on with CJ. Anderson. 341 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: By the way, not as the RB one but like 342 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: number one, but as RB ten, still a RB one 343 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: because again you could play it on replay as you 344 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: just said, the end of the last season look terrific. Again, 345 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: they should run more this year. The offense is gonna 346 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: be a little different because the quarterback situation is garbage, 347 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: even though you didn't think it could get much worse 348 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: than last year. But I think the biggest thing is 349 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: that's where you find value in drafts two, is you 350 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,359 Speaker 1: find the people that have burned other people or situations 351 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: that make people think of other situations where they got 352 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: found him. I think that's it's not really logical if 353 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: you think about it. These situations aren't the same for everybody, 354 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: because yeah, CJ. Anderson didn't work out, and you can 355 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: make a comparison to say, David Johnson feels like that 356 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: kind of player, but completely different team, completely different situation, 357 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: actually a completely different talent. You know. It's it's really 358 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: interesting that you're talking about that strategy. I mean, we've 359 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: seen guys like Brandon Marshall, who everyone's really low on, 360 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: just bounce back and be a superstar. The next guy 361 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: you have on your list here, Eddie Lacy, you're fourteen 362 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: spots higher than on ECR you he's your number eleven 363 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: player this year. I'm sure you're getting him on most 364 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: of your teams. Tell us about dy Lacy. Oh that's 365 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: what I keep tweeting. I said, I believe that Slim 366 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: Lacy is the real Eddie Lacy. All the other ladies 367 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: super were just in. Yeah, I believe. Look, I've seen 368 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: the pictures. You know. The thing is is we knew 369 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: he was out of shape last year to a degree. 370 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: I still think that there's actually been some talk that 371 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: he put on a few pounds. I actually like that. 372 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: Like with I saw the pictures of how slim he 373 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: was from the P ninety X training, and I've done 374 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: P ninety X. I've never completed the entire thing. I 375 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: know that stuff is ridiculous, and I know some people 376 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: who have done the real like all the way through 377 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: and it's a real deal. Thing is I wanted a 378 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: little bit more weight because I don't want to I 379 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: don't necessarily want like a Patrick Willis at running back 380 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: because sometimes you're too fit and it kind of opens 381 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: you up to injuries. You need a little bit of 382 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,479 Speaker 1: cushion out there, and I think Lacey could do well 383 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: with a little bit. So I'm not concerned about these 384 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: reports that though, oh he put five pounds back on. 385 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: You know, if you look at what his playing weight 386 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: was in college and look what he did as his 387 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: rookie season, he's right in that rage and that's what 388 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: we want. We saw what he did in his rookie season. 389 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: If you're talking about going back to this offensive for 390 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: the love of Jared cook Well two years ago, there 391 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: was a reason we loved Eddie Lacey. There's a reason 392 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: people were taking Eddie Lacy is the number one running 393 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: back last year, and it's touchdown. It's a touchdown upside. 394 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: There's so much potential for him to get double digit 395 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: touchdowns that it's it's almost I would say it would 396 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,959 Speaker 1: be a surprise to me if Lacey doesn't get ten touchdowns. Now, 397 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: if you're giving a running back ten touchdowns and a 398 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: running back who is still gonna get over a thousand 399 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: yards rushing, because even in a rough season, he's gonna 400 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: be getting that. You're gonna have to say he's worthy 401 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: of being RB one. And the next guy in your 402 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: list is another running back, And I'm really interested to 403 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: hear what you say about him, because I haven't heard 404 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: anyone else really be that excited about Matt Forte for 405 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: the Jets. You have him eighteen spots higher than East 406 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: at number twenty two in your rankings. Why question to 407 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: everybody is why does everybody hate Matt Fourte? Yeah, that 408 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: he was and not the same team, but the standard 409 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: last year he was number nine and he missed three 410 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: games in PPR. Last year he was still top ten. 411 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: He was all the way up at number seven and 412 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: still missing three games. No, it's not Chicago. But guess 413 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: what if there's one thing we can do with the 414 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: Jets is we know exactly what the Jets are going 415 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: to be. It's gonna be Ryan Fitzpatrick, it's gonna be 416 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker, and they're going to throw to 417 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: the running back and it's Matt Fourte. And I know 418 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: Balal Palell is going to be in the mix. But 419 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: let's be real here. If we're talking about talent and 420 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: if we're talking about being realistic, Matt Fote is the 421 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: much superior talent to Balal Palett, and I'm a Balal 422 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: Palell fan for the longest time. I just don't This 423 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: is another one. And this goes back to Jamal Charles. 424 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: I don't need fourte to get twenty carries a game. 425 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 1: I'll be happy if Forte is getting thirteen to fifteen 426 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: carries a game and sprinkled in with seven targets, because 427 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: that's going to turn him into a top an RB one. 428 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: It's just that's the fact of it is. The concern 429 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: of him playing sixteen games is not much to me. 430 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: He actually hasn't missed much time over the past few seasons. 431 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: Last year was the real first season they missed significant time. 432 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 1: I know it feels like he's always banged up, but 433 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: he's always out there playing and this offense is going 434 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 1: to score. They're gonna use him extensively. I honestly, that's 435 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: my question to everybody else. That's what I always wanted. 436 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: It's like, I'm not trying to play cop out, but 437 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: for everybody who says, why do you like them so much? 438 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 1: My exact response was, well, okay, tell me why I 439 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: should it, and nobody seems to have a real answer. 440 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: You know, I'm looking at Chris Ivory last year, he 441 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: was number six in the league in rushes rushing attempts 442 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: with two hundred and forty seven. Are you trying to 443 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,719 Speaker 1: tell me Matt Forte is not better than Chris Ivory 444 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: and could hold off blo Plow. I mean, Matt Fote 445 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 1: is gonna get the carries. He's gonna get fifteen sixteen 446 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: a game, which would put him right there in the 447 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 1: top ten and carries, and we know how talented he is. 448 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: Plus he's gonna get a bunch of receptions. I love 449 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: that you have Matt Forte up there. Now, let's move 450 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: on to two wide receivers that you have ranked a 451 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: lot higher, and the first one is Michael Floyd. You 452 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: have Michael Floyd ranked twenty one spots higher at number 453 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: thirty two in your rankings. Tells little bit about that. Yeah, 454 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: I'm looking at Michael Floyd and I think that he's 455 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: gonna be the best receiver for the Cardinals this year. 456 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: And this is one of those situations where, similar to 457 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: Sammy Coats is like, this is why everybody when everybody's 458 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: saying Hey, why are you drafting back in June? And Mayze? 459 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 1: This is why is because now my value is not 460 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: there anymore. I'm not getting Sammy Coates in the twelfth 461 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: round like I was, and I'm not getting Michael Floyd 462 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: as the third or second wide receiver off the board 463 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: as the Cardinals or even the sixth seventh round. They're 464 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: all moving up. And this is why he draft early. 465 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying everybody's only listening to what I say. 466 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: I'm just you know, there's people that are gonna have 467 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 1: similar opinions. But I'm looking at Michael Floyd and I 468 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: look at it again, number one receiver on this team. 469 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: If you look at what he did from weeks six 470 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: to seventeen last year, he actually had fewer targets and 471 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: receptions but more yards in touchdown than Fitzgerald. And actually, 472 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: if you look at the last four weeks, and this 473 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: is the thing that's really impressive to me, is he 474 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: actually led the team in targets and receiving. Second place 475 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: wasn't Fitzgerald, it wasn't John Brown, it was actually David Johnson. 476 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't think that's going to continue in 477 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be Michael Floyd, David Johnson, 478 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: and then Fitzgerald and John Brown for this year. But 479 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: it goes to my point of the fact that I 480 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: think Michael Floyd is taking over as the top receiver 481 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: on this team. He started all slow. Obviously, anytime you 482 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: have a broken hand where your bones go through your skin, 483 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: I expect you to start off a little bit, especially 484 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: if you're a receiver. But the talent I've always liked. 485 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: I think he's a complete receiver, and I just I 486 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: really think that's why he steps up this year and 487 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: I'm happy to take him aside of the top twenty 488 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: wide receivers. And apparently a lot more people are starting 489 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: to come around on that. Another staff for you, stat 490 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: head than Michael Floyd. In his last eight games, he 491 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: had five games over one hundred yards receiving. If he 492 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: continues that streak, I mean he's gonna be right up 493 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 1: there with Demarys Thomas and some other guys. And I 494 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: like where you have him ranked. I'm agreeing with you 495 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: a lot, and that doesn't happen very often on another show. 496 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: So we'll see if if some of the guys that 497 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: you're bearish on differ from me. Yeah, I think I 498 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: think that he's one of those ones that people should 499 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: jump on now. Like this is again, this is why 500 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: you should start drafting now before we get to week 501 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: three the pre season and all your home leagues are 502 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: starting to do the same. Now. The final guy we're 503 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: going to talk about that year high on A is 504 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall. And you've got Brandon Marshall ranked right up there, 505 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: right ahead of AJ Green, as Bryant DeVante Freeman, Alan 506 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: Robinson and wrong Rob Gronkowski. What gives why do you 507 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: like Brandon Marshall so much? It goes back to bad Forte. 508 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: What's not like? To what's not to like about Brandon Marshall? 509 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: The guy's look, Fitzpatrick is back for everybody that was 510 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: so hesitant about Marshall and Decca for the longest time. 511 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 1: That's another one. You know, I talked about Jimmy Graham 512 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: how some things just don't ever seem to make sense 513 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: to me. This was let's discount Brandon marshalists discount Eric Decker. 514 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: We don't know what's going on with fist year up. Okay, fine, 515 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: you know it makes no sense. I'm not gonna wander 516 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: where they were from last year. If Geno Smith is 517 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: at quarterback, but once he signed, why did why did 518 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: nobody come back around? What do you like? You still 519 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: have hesitants? Its fives. Fitzpatrick is back, He's gonna come back. 520 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: He's gonna throw for thirty touchdowns again. Yeah, you probably 521 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: have more interceptions where maybe he's more inconsistent, or maybe 522 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: the yards aren't as pretty. But Brandon Marshall is the 523 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: number three wide receiver last year one hundred and nine receptions, 524 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: fifteen hundred yards and fourteen touchdowns. Let's say he gets 525 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: thirteen hundred and twelve touchdowns, it's still top five. For me. 526 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: It's actually he would have barely I think he would have. 527 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: I think what I said that because I wrote it 528 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: at another column. I think he would have finished wide 529 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: receiver six last year. And that's not a big problem 530 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: for me for the fact that I'm gonna take him 531 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: at five. You talk about AJ Green, I love him 532 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: in that opportunity there as much as the fact that 533 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: he doesn't have Jones and some new taking stuff away 534 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: from him. At the same time, I was surprised to 535 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: find this out. AJ Green's never hit one hundred deceptions 536 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: for his career, which is just crazy to think about it, 537 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: because I would have said guaranteed he has done it. 538 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: So Aj Green, look, I'm not going to complain if 539 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: you take Aj Green. I just don't see why people 540 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: are right. I think Marshall is kind of falling into 541 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: that well. I want to get off before it's too late. 542 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 1: I want to be the first person off the boat 543 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: before it's sinking. I'm getting Brandon Marshall in pretty much 544 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: every single league. You look at his career, He's gone 545 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: ten years and miss seven games total. Everyone starts to 546 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: think he's over the hill because when he was thirty 547 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:58,959 Speaker 1: years old he dealt with a little bit of an 548 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: injury and played through it. But that is the exception 549 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: for Brandon Marshall's career. I mean, every other year since 550 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: he was twenty three, he's had at least a thousand yards. 551 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: He always is a great red zone threat. He's going 552 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 1: to continue that. Last year he was amazing and he's 553 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: gonna be amazing again this year. So I'm getting him 554 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 1: on as many teams as I can. Yeah, I have 555 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 1: him there too, And actually the reason I threw out 556 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: those numbers forever, But it's wonder that those three years ago, 557 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: because last year and then the year that he missed 558 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: sometime three years ago when he had about thirteen hundred 559 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: yards and twelve touchdowns and at to double check while 560 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: we were talking, he would have finished seventh at wide 561 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: receiver last year. Oh well, so I keep him at fifth, 562 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: all right. Now the guys that you're now, the guys 563 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: that you're barrack shan. The first one is Rob Gronkowski. 564 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: You have him all the way down at number nineteen. 565 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: Why are you avoiding him so much? Because I hate 566 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: how my teams turn out. And that's the biggest thing, 567 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: is like, well, that's yeah. It's the thing is I 568 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: when I do my rankings, and I think this is 569 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: what helps the projections. You know, for the preseason, you know, 570 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: I was eleventh last year. But in the regular season, 571 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: you know, third and fourth, it helps a lot more. 572 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,239 Speaker 1: It's it's a little easier to be more accurate during 573 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: the season as it goes. But I ranked to my projections. 574 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: A lot of people will sit there and this is 575 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: a disparaging because you can be successful this way. But 576 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: I don't sit there and say, do I like Landry 577 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: more than I like Jeremy Macklin. That's now okay, let 578 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 1: me go to the next guy. Do I like Jordan Matthews, 579 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: you know, and I go I rank out, my projections 580 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: come to my rankings, and that's how I did it. 581 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: That's the same thing I did for baseball. Is that's 582 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: how I do it. So when I did my projections, 583 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: if I project him with all the other positions, his 584 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: fancy points come out to the nineteenth best player. And 585 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: I actually think that's pretty fair because if you look 586 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 1: at last season, he's not in the first round for 587 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: total points. And you know when it comes to miss 588 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: time or inconsistent games. But now you're adding in that's 589 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: the other factor to it, is the inconsistent games. Yes, 590 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: Garoppolo knows Gronkowski's the best option on his team. At 591 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: the same time, let's not kid ourselves. Garoppolo is not 592 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: even ninety percent of what Tom Brady is. There's Tom Brady. Yeah, 593 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: one of the best of all times. You can't tell 594 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: me that has to not play into your consideration. You 595 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: can't tell me that Gronkowski has missed time almost every 596 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: single year of his career. And yeah, it's just one 597 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 1: or two games, but you're gonna tell me, I'm spending 598 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: a first round pick on a position that kind of 599 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: handicaps your situation at running back or wide receiver to 600 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: begin with. Let alone, somebody's probably gonna miss at least 601 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: one game, somebody who doesn't have his quarterback for the 602 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: first four. Again, I come back to people say tell 603 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: me why I should take him in the first round, 604 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: because I see no reason for it. I'm in agreement 605 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: with you again, but for completely different reasons. I really 606 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: like Rob Gronkowski just because I look at points above 607 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: replacement for position and he's so much better than everyone 608 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: else pretty much every single year. In fact, he's been 609 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: top five for the past five years and points above 610 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: replacement in the entire NFL, and that's likely to continue. 611 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: But he just has so many injury concerns, and I'm 612 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: afraid to lose my fantasy league just because my first 613 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 1: round pick gets hurt. And then you have to consider 614 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: that Jordan Read in points per game was ninety five 615 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: percent of what Rob Gronkowski was and you can get 616 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: him so much later. And if it's a PPR league, 617 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: Read's gonna get even more reception. So I'm waiting and 618 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 1: I'm trying to grab Jordan reading as many leagues as 619 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: I can. Yeah, Actually, Gary Barnage was second and will 620 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: depending on what your league type was. He was like 621 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: second behind him for the season two and very high 622 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: in points per game two and again depending on what 623 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: your league is. To go back to us saying Gronkowski 624 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: was the sixteenth best player last year with Tom Brady 625 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: for sixteen games and that's overall. So to say nineteenth 626 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: overall is actually not even that disparaging to him, and 627 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: it's incorporating the fact that the four gets It's like, again, 628 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: if you're going to rank to projections, you could say, yes, 629 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: when you draft, you might want to take them higher 630 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: than that, But if you're gonna tell me, I need 631 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: to rank to where I think guys are going to finish, 632 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: and that's what I'm doing. I think Gronkowski is Boordermline 633 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: top twenty. That's really interesting. That's an interesting way to 634 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: look at it. I don't think a lot of people 635 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: do it that way, but it's simple. It makes sense. Yeah, 636 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: I think it does too. All right, let's move on 637 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: to the next guy that you're bearish on. And this 638 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 1: is our big first disagreement, because I really like Thomas Rawls. 639 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: You have them twenty eight spots lower at number sixty three. 640 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: Tell me why I'm wrong, Because is he gonna play 641 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: for a week one? I mean, that's the assumed part 642 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: is he's finally back on the field. But if even 643 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 1: if he is, I don't think he's gonna get twenty carries. 644 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: There's no reason to give him twenty carries. I like CJ. 645 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: Pro Sie a lot, and I know he's hurt too, 646 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 1: But okay, let's say CJ. Pro Size isn't even in 647 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: the mix to start the season. Guess what they have, 648 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: Alex Collins. They have Kristen Michael. They don't need Roles 649 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: to carry the ball twenty times to start the season. 650 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: I know he was terrific last year and he looked 651 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: like he could be the breakout running back for this season. 652 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: But this is a significant offseason injury. He's finally just 653 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: getting back on the field. There's still talk that he 654 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 1: might not play in the preseason games because they want 655 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: to make sure he's ready for Week one. I think 656 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: that he's somebody that I'm more looking at for I'm 657 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: buying low after two or three weeks, maybe because he's 658 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: only getting early in the season. And people start to 659 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: get disappointed because of the capital they spent and him 660 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: in the draft. So that's part of it too. And again, 661 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: even if he's ready for week one, I just don't 662 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: know that we don't see other guys mixing in enough 663 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: that Roles never reaches that top fifteen running back value, 664 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: which is where he's going, and since he's still border 665 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: line RB one and ADP, which is crazy to me, 666 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna yell at you too much if you 667 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: take him five six spots like like you said, I 668 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: have him there, and I will move him up. If 669 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: he gets on the field of the preseason and he 670 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: starts to look pretty good, I'll move them up. I'm 671 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: not gonna be stupid. I'm not gonna stay locked into 672 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: my rankings and not injust my projections. But at the 673 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: same time, I'm not going to project him for twenty 674 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: carries a game, even if he's playing for the next 675 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: two weeks in the preseason. I think I've mentioned this 676 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: in every podcast. Five point one yards per carry last 677 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: year six games started, seven hundred and twelve rushing yards. 678 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: I think of them in the way that you think 679 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: of David Johnson last year, where if you have this 680 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: guy on your team, he can help you win a 681 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: championship later in the season. You're right. I don't think 682 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: he's going to come back and be his normal self 683 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: in the first one or maybe even four or five weeks, 684 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,479 Speaker 1: but later in the season, being in that offense, the 685 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: scheme that they run, and showing what he did last year, 686 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: I won him on my team. And it's really interesting 687 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: that you brought up trading for him after he starts 688 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: off real slow. I did that two years ago with 689 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy after he started off against five great rushing 690 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: defenses and he helped me a fantasy championship. I did 691 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: that last year with Calvin Johnson, who's a notoriously slow starter. 692 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: He went up against great defenses and then he busted 693 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: out at the end of the season. Thomas Rawls might 694 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: be the guy to do that with this year. I 695 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: like that idea a lot. Yeah, there's there's a couple 696 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: of him, and he's one of those ones. And I 697 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: think that because that's the thing that people get burned, 698 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: like to what we're talking about before, is you get 699 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: burned from the year before with a lot of times 700 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: you shouldn't. And this is why I tell people that 701 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: all the time too, especially in auctions. Once the drafts 702 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: are over, like my auction's done, forget it. I don't 703 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: care what I spent anymore. I don't care there's fourteen 704 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: dollars still on the table if somebody makes me a trade, 705 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: forget about it. What you spent in your draft means 706 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: nothing once the season starts, and that's where you have 707 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: to suck it up. I wouldn't if I had Thomas Rawles, 708 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: I would hold on to him and say, if I've 709 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: drafted him as such, you obviously believe. Don't turn around 710 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,959 Speaker 1: two or three weeks into the season and sell them 711 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: off for low n RB two value. That just doesn't 712 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: make sense. So either you draft them and you hang 713 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: on to and believe him, or you do what you 714 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: just said, and I was saying, is you exploit the 715 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: people who are crazy enough to say, well, I don't 716 00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: want to wait too long because it's been two or 717 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: three weeks par value. I'm really happy with the next 718 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: guy we have on the list here, and that's Dean Lewis. 719 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: You have him all the way down at number one hundred, 720 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: forty five spots lower than ECR and I am I'm 721 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: avoiding Dan Lewis like the plague all Patriots running backs, 722 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: I would like to plague. Is that your reason too? 723 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: It wasn't until last year. I actually even myself saying, hey, 724 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: this is the first time we can ever trust to 725 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: Bilichick running back and in PPR, I do have him higher. 726 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: But for standard purposes he's a little bit better version 727 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: of theoretic. But everybody seems to not want to get 728 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: involved with theoretic this year to fight the fact that 729 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: if you put him in standard at wide receiver he 730 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: was wide receiver thirty five last year. To me, that 731 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: seems like people should still like theoretic. But the problem 732 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: is without touchdowns, without it being PPR, you're gonna get 733 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: a lot of three, four or five point weeks. That's 734 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: part of the problem. The second part of the problem 735 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: here is I don't know what to make of it anymore. 736 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: He had he was he was trustworthy. I agree you 737 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: could throw Dan Lewis in your lineup and play him 738 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: no problem, even in standard. But he got hurt. He 739 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: missed the entire season. They have options in the backfield, 740 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: and James White and whoever Billichick decides to pick up 741 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: one week play for two games and drop after that, 742 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: and then you have I said after the draft, I 743 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: think they had thirteen wide receivers on the team after 744 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: the draft. Obviously you're not gonna all be there, but 745 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: they just have so many options on this offense. Garoppolo 746 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: is starting in four games. You cannot nobody on Earth 747 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: can tell me what Billichick is thinking one and then 748 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: what this offense is going to look like week to week. 749 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: Let alone with Garoppolo or with Brady or if Dean 750 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: Lewis is in there every single week. So it's gonna 751 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: be gameflow dependent. And for everybody that's always scared off 752 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: by the Giovanni even are Jeremy Hill because it's oh, 753 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: it's Jeremy Hill when they're up, it's Geovann even r 754 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: when they're down. I don't like Leil like gameflow. Well, 755 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: why is that any different with Dean Lewis. Because Dean 756 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: Lewis has used a lot more in the passing game 757 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: and when they're running up the score, and granted the 758 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: Patriots like to do that all the time, but at 759 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: the same time, Lacara Blunt is taking some of those 760 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: gold line touches for as long as he's healthy, So 761 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: it just there's no appeal to me for Dean Lewis 762 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: because I don't see I don't ever see a week 763 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: outside of PPR. Again, we're talking standard here. I don't 764 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: ever see a week where I say I want to 765 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: start Diana Lewis. Now we finish off your barish list 766 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: with two running backs, Jeremy Hill and Derrick Henry. Why 767 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: can't you Why do you not like these guys this year? 768 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill, I don't like because I don't like relyon 769 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: on touchdowns. I just the fact is, if you look 770 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: at what happened last year, I know the Hyler effort 771 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: think could throw a wrench into this because I did 772 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: dig deeper. And the fact is with Tyler Iffort missed time. 773 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: They did run Jeremy Hill a lot. So this could 774 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: change a little bit. But as of today, not knowing 775 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: the full story, you know, I look at Jeremy Hill, 776 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: who you everybody said, he's the pounder, he's the he 777 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: breaks tackles, he gets in the end zone, and obviously 778 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,239 Speaker 1: he scored plenty, but he went from five point one 779 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: yards per carry for the year before to three point 780 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: six last year, and that's a concern into hisself. But 781 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: then you tell me he went from two point eight 782 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: after contact to two point zero for somebody of his 783 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: size and his ability. I'm not saying he can't rebound, 784 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: but that shouldn't happen with somebody like Jeremy Hill. And 785 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: you look at the reverse of that, Giovanni Bernard, and 786 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: I know he's used in a different facet of the game, 787 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: and to make it's not exactly an apples to apples, 788 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: but he averaged four point seven and two point four 789 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: after contact, and he actually had one point three more 790 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: Fantasy points per game than or Hill did. Only one 791 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,720 Speaker 1: point three was despite scoring ten more times scored twelve times, 792 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,919 Speaker 1: Geo scored twice. I think there could be a little 793 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: bit of positive touchdown and regression coming for GEO Belindy Bernard. 794 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: I know he has to score from outside because they're 795 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 1: still going to turn to Jeremy Hill, but I would 796 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 1: be shocked if GEO Jannie Bernard doesn't double that. I mean, 797 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,399 Speaker 1: he only had two touchdowns last year, so it's more 798 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: so the fact that and then my last facet of 799 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: it is that Geo twelve hundred yards last year. Jeremy 800 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: Hill didn't even get nine hundred, So I just I'm 801 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: not gonna rely on touchdowns. I just I don't want 802 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: somebody that if you don't score, you did nothing for 803 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: me this week. It's almost similar THEO Ritic being in 804 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: the standard versus a PPR. You're gonna do nothing for 805 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 1: me exactly. That's why I don't like him. And then 806 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, that one just baffles mek Man. I thought, look, 807 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: I understand if people want to handcuff because if de 808 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: Marco Murray misses time, obviously they're going to run Derrick 809 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: Henry a lot. But there's already I don't like things 810 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 1: about Derrick Henry because I don't like the fact that 811 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 1: if he's similar to Brandon Jacobs, in the fact he's 812 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: better than Brandon Jacobs. Let me put that out there. 813 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: But he's similar better to Brandon Jacobs where if you 814 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 1: catch him in the backfield, he kind of needs those 815 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: first two or three steps to get going to really 816 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 1: break a tackle and not get caught up. He got 817 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,280 Speaker 1: hung up in the backfield quite a few times in college. 818 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: I could see that that's gonna be more escalated at 819 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: the NFL level. We've seen that with Brandon Jacobs types 820 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: running backs, and now you're talking about again. All you're 821 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 1: hoping for is that Derrick Henry scores DeMarco Murray is 822 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: going to get at least fifty or the DeMarco gets hurt. 823 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 1: But I mean, if you're getting it, if you're getting 824 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: a handcuff running back, why get a rookie running back 825 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: that we don't know anything about him. I mean, I 826 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: understand the reports have been glowing, but why not go 827 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: get Jerrick McKinnon. Well, I would definitely take Jerey McKinnon 828 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: ten times out of ten over Derek Henry. And my 829 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: biggest problem with it is not only that, and it's like, okay, 830 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: you give me the reasons justify, and you get me 831 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: to say, okay, sure, take Derek Henry. How is he 832 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: going inside the top hundred? Like nuts? Yeah, if you 833 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: want to tell me, okay, take Derek Henry in the eleventh, twelve, 834 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: thirteenth round. I which was really really would prefer him. 835 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,359 Speaker 1: That's cool, But top hundred, come on, buddy. And Ben 836 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: Tate was the best backup running back ever and I 837 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 1: remember him going in like the nineties. Derrick Henry's nothing 838 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 1: compared to how Ben Tate was. And I understand Tate 839 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,760 Speaker 1: got derailed by injuries. But I mean, you just don't 840 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 1: take a handcuff in the top one hundred. You don't 841 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 1: do it. No that, And that's my biggest problem with 842 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 1: it is I don't like handcuffing to begin with. I 843 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: prefer to build your back depth this time of year, 844 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: like right now. I mean, if you look at the 845 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: flex dress, which people might look at after you mentioned him. 846 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: I did take Duke Johnson and Isaiah Crowell because that's 847 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: one of those situations where we haven't even had a 848 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 1: game played yet, and I don't want to get to 849 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: the third week of the preseason to find Duke Johnson hurt. 850 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,760 Speaker 1: And so now I don't have Isaiah Crowell, but goodbody 851 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,280 Speaker 1: to do it. Yeah, I'd rather build running back depth. 852 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 1: But if you're going to, at least Isaiah Crowell was 853 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: costing me barely more than Derrick Henry did, Derrick Henry's 854 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: a whole different ball game. That's just I can't get 855 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,399 Speaker 1: I can't get behind it. It's a it's absurd. I'm 856 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 1: so glad we talked about this. Let's jump back over 857 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,879 Speaker 1: to Jeremy Hill though real quick. When you were talking 858 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: about the guys who I guess you would call them 859 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: post hyper sleepers. Jeremy Hill seems like a guy that 860 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,880 Speaker 1: would fit in there for you, and I find it 861 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 1: interesting to find him on your on your bearish list, 862 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: But once you start talking about Geo Binard, Geo Binard 863 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 1: gets me excited. I think he's one of the top 864 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 1: ten most talented running backs in the NFL. Pro Football 865 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: Focus agrees. They grade him as a very talented runner, 866 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 1: and I just think he's gonna he's gonna steal more carries. 867 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,320 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get more touchdowns. I think he's 868 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,399 Speaker 1: gonna end up being the best running back on that team, 869 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be pretty clear. So I 870 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: really like Geo Binard. I see you have him pretty 871 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 1: high on your list as well. Is there a reason why? Yeah, 872 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,839 Speaker 1: everything you just said. I mean, one of the bold 873 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 1: predictions I made this season was that Giovanni Benard is 874 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 1: gonna better in standard and PPR because he was already 875 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 1: better in PR, but I said he was going to 876 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 1: be the better option and standard again, because yeah, I 877 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 1: just don't see him only scoring two touchdowns. I know 878 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 1: they're going to keep going to Jeremy Hill, but you 879 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,240 Speaker 1: got to say, for somebody with his ability, with his talent, 880 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 1: with the way that he runs and makes plays with 881 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: the ball, He's gonna find the end zone himself, even 882 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 1: if you don't want to give it to him. Aside 883 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: the ten so, I think he fisted this offense very well, 884 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: and with the opening. I know that supposedly the report 885 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: today from some Beat reporter is that I didn't mean 886 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,360 Speaker 1: to say some Beat reporter despairs the guy. I just 887 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: I just bet that there's always Beat reporters saying everything 888 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: about everybody, like the Chris Johnson thing. But somebody today 889 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: said that he wasn't going to see more targets this year, 890 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 1: and I think that's absurd to say. I like Tyler Boyd, 891 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 1: but let's face it, he's a rookie that's trying to 892 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: make a transition to the NFL coming from a terrible offense. Honestly, 893 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: that's actually hurt his draft stock a little bit. But 894 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: in Brandon Lapel has one good season to his name 895 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 1: playing for Tom Brady and the Patriots. So to say 896 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 1: that Giovanni Benar's not going to be more involved, especially 897 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 1: if I firstmiss in the first four weeks, I think 898 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: that's ludicrous. Imagine if Hill gets hurt, Bernard is going 899 00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 1: to jump up to an RB one as far as 900 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: I'm concerned. Yeah, he's Charles Sim's situation. If anything ever 901 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: happened to Doug Martin, it's gonna be banana sandwich for him. 902 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: And that's the SIMS is my dude this year. Yeah, 903 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: say here you go and JP. That's going to close 904 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: out the Bullish and Barry segment. But I want to 905 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,239 Speaker 1: hear who's one guy that you're barish on this year. 906 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson. I see that he's eighth in the ECR, 907 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,399 Speaker 1: or at least he was yesterday when I was making 908 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: out my note, and I'll let me just confirm that 909 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 1: for you. Yeah, he's eighth. I mean, he's the best 910 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 1: receiver on the Packers, he's a really good route runner, 911 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 1: and he's back from that injury. But I see that 912 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: he had a little tendonitis issues on his other knee, 913 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: so maybe he's leaning on that a little heavily. And 914 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 1: I just think there's a lot of interesting options in 915 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 1: that top fifteen, top twenty to where I'm not going 916 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: to take a risk on that injury. I'm sure. I 917 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 1: mean there's a chance he can come back and be 918 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,359 Speaker 1: just fine. Aaron Rodgers is elite, but I just big 919 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 1: injuries like that, I'm gonna let somebody he else take 920 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,800 Speaker 1: a risk, especially in the first two or three rounds. 921 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen some freaking natures come back from 922 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 1: big injuries like that. But Jordy Nelson's older than all 923 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: of them. Where I mean, Jordy Nelson's getting up there 924 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,400 Speaker 1: in age. I don't know if he's going to be 925 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: able to bounce back, and if he does, I think 926 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna be shelved himself. It's just such a high 927 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 1: ranking at number eight. When you guys talked highly about 928 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,839 Speaker 1: a Brandon Marshall, I like Brandon Marshall more than Jordy 929 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 1: Nelson this year, Sammy Walkins, I like more Keenan Allen. 930 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: It's just if he falls to me, I'll consider him 931 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: but eighth an eighth wide receiver overall, I'm just I 932 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: can't pay that price. Bake Hoddy feel about Jordy Nelson. 933 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: I actually like him. Let's hear he's inside of my 934 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 1: top ten. I know he's coming back from a severe injury. 935 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:45,799 Speaker 1: I get this is what we're talking about too, though 936 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 1: I'm assuming health as of today. If we get you know, 937 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 1: week three to preseason and he's still struggling to get 938 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 1: on the field, or he does look like a shell 939 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 1: of his former self. He looks ninety percent and he's 940 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 1: not up to speed. But my biggest thing is this offense. 941 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: We already hit on it. There's three options in this offense. 942 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 1: You know, maybe Jared Cooks becomes the fourth third cook 943 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: Cook becomes the fourth, or maybe DeVante Adams becomes the fourth. 944 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 1: But it's it's Lacy North, Nelson and Cobb. And the 945 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: fact this is when Aaron Rodgers rolls out and flings 946 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 1: it deep like he does almost once a game, who's 947 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: he going to? It's always Jordy Nelson. So you knew 948 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,240 Speaker 1: Rogers is gonna get his yards. They've gotta go somewhere. 949 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,760 Speaker 1: It's yeah, And that's that's my thing, is it's always 950 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson. Aaron Rodgers one of the best tandems in 951 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,319 Speaker 1: the league, if not the best. And as long as 952 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 1: Nelson is close at ninety five percent of what he 953 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 1: was before the injury, I'm buying right back in. But 954 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 1: you know, I don't have him at the top five, 955 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 1: but inside my top ten, I'm definitely jumping in. Yeah, 956 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 1: I see you've got some respect for him. You've got 957 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: him at number twenty four, ahead of Alshon, Jeffrey and 958 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: Mike Evans, Keenan Allen, but you still have him. I 959 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 1: can't believe this. His ECR is number fifteen and you 960 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,719 Speaker 1: have him nine spots lower than that. I think that's 961 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: a pretty good spot to have him. Fifteen is crazy 962 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,759 Speaker 1: for him, I think, I say, and that's what I think. 963 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 1: That's respectable. But fifteen, and I'm with you, that's what Lecas. 964 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:55,839 Speaker 1: Now you're taking him over. You know, it's guys like 965 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 1: Allan Robson and even Levy On Bell's I'd rather take 966 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: Levy Bell because I know the fact when he comes 967 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 1: back for the twelve games, he's gonna be lefty on 968 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 1: Bell for sure. All right, Jake, Well let's close this 969 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 1: out with some trivia. And this is the way it's 970 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: gonna go. You go until you get one wrong. If 971 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: you get five in a row, you go into the 972 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. If you missed the first one, that 973 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 1: this is probably gonna happen. These are some hard questions. Okay, 974 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 1: all right, here here we go. First question, Antonio Brown, 975 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins and Julio Jones had all over two hundred targets. 976 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,920 Speaker 1: Only one other player had at least one hundred and 977 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:32,880 Speaker 1: seventy four targets, and this guy had one hundred and 978 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 1: ninety eight. Who was it last year? It was Brandon Marshall, 979 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 1: Tomarus Thomas, Jarvis Landry or Eldell Beckham Junior. Last year. 980 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:50,840 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think, this is twenty fifteen. Where are 981 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:52,839 Speaker 1: my choices again? One more time? Yeah, no problem all 982 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall to Marius Thomas, Jarvis Landry or Ldell Beckham Junior. 983 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say to Marius Thomas, You're right on. I was. 984 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 1: I was really surprised by they thought that it would 985 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,480 Speaker 1: be Brandon Marshall or Odell Beckham. But to Mary's Thomas 986 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,759 Speaker 1: man He got looked at so much and they were 987 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 1: running the ball a lot because Peyton Manning is so horrible. Yeah, 988 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,640 Speaker 1: that's people. Well, the thing is I've been talking about 989 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 1: to Mary's Thomas is one of my favorite values at 990 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 1: this point because I agree scared off by the quarterback 991 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,759 Speaker 1: situation and for the fact this is one of those 992 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 1: bitter disappointment things. He was drafted in the first round 993 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,240 Speaker 1: last year. And he still finished his wide receiver twelve, 994 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,120 Speaker 1: but because it was twelve and not first round value, 995 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 1: everybody's ticked off and doesn't want him anymore. Like, you 996 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 1: know what, even if he repeats last year, guess what, 997 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: I'll take him as a wide receiver twelve again. That's right, 998 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 1: and I mean Ryan matt I'm sorry, Bryan Matthews. Mark 999 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 1: Sanches is probably even going to be better than than 1000 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:43,799 Speaker 1: Pete Maning was last year, So it's not like he's 1001 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,520 Speaker 1: gonna take his sep backwards exactly, all right. Second question, 1002 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,759 Speaker 1: Thomas Rawls led all qualified running backs with five point 1003 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,400 Speaker 1: six yards per carry last year. Who's the only other 1004 00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,279 Speaker 1: running back with at least five point zero? Was it 1005 00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 1: lady On Bell, Ryan Matthews, Charles Simms, Giovanni Barden. So okay, 1006 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:10,799 Speaker 1: let's thinks one time, so five point zero? That's so 1007 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 1: it's Charles Sims, Giovanni Benar. What were the other two? 1008 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 1: Olivia Bell and Ryan Matthews. See, I don't like the 1009 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,719 Speaker 1: fact that the people who you included with this, like 1010 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 1: the answer that would jump out to me seems like, 1011 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 1: you know, you would want to say Levia and Bill. 1012 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 1: But the fact that like two of those names that 1013 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 1: you tossed in there is kind of like I feel 1014 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 1: like this is a little bit of a trick question, Like, uh, 1015 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:36,880 Speaker 1: it's not Belle, so I'm tossing out Bell. I know 1016 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 1: it's not Geo because I know Geo. I know you 1017 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,879 Speaker 1: had really good numbers, but it's not so the last 1018 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 1: two are down to Ryan Matthews. And who's the other one? 1019 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 1: I started Sims, Sims, I'm gonna I'm gonna go with 1020 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,520 Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews. Nice two in a row. The reason I 1021 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 1: mentioned all four of those guys is they all had 1022 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,759 Speaker 1: really high numbers. M Charles Sims was at four point nine. 1023 00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,160 Speaker 1: He is really really talented. UM. But right, Ryan Matthews 1024 00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,839 Speaker 1: is the guy. I actually mentioned it earlier in the show. 1025 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 1: So that's what it was. It was my selfconscious coming 1026 00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 1: back to me. All right, number three, this is when 1027 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,880 Speaker 1: it gets really tough here. Who had the longest rushing 1028 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 1: touchdown last season? Was it Todd Gurley, Marcus Mariota, Tavon 1029 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 1: Austin or Jerk McKinnon. M that's McKinnon. It's McKinnon did 1030 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,360 Speaker 1: have a very long run. His was number three. Tavon 1031 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,360 Speaker 1: Austin had a really long run. Todd Gurley had a 1032 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 1: lot of them, but it was Marcus Mariota. Can you 1033 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 1: believe that really was a hundred of something some game 1034 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 1: or whatever it was that yeah, he had he had 1035 00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 1: an eighty seven yard run. I was shocked when I 1036 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 1: saw that Marcus Mariota. Mariota can run. That boy's fast. 1037 00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 1: He's Yeah, he's another one if you're waiting on quarterbacks, 1038 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,440 Speaker 1: He's one of my favorite quarterbacks to take Blake, I agree, 1039 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 1: especially with all those wide receivers they have. I love 1040 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 1: their wide receiver corps. I love their offense to break out. 1041 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 1: They added to their offensive line. I'm getting a lot 1042 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,360 Speaker 1: of Titans on my team. Yeah, I think they know. 1043 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,480 Speaker 1: I'd say outside of the wide receiver, I like Richard Matthews. 1044 00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 1: I think he's the one that I want. I don't 1045 00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 1: think too me too Doctoral Greenbackham, but wide receivers like 1046 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:10,400 Speaker 1: I kind of feel like there's so many of them. 1047 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 1: They might can't say. I'm hoping it clears up a 1048 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 1: little bit, but I think it should be Matthews. What 1049 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 1: were four and five? I us see if I could 1050 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 1: have got to five four and five? Okay, who broke 1051 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,440 Speaker 1: the record last season for the best completion percentage in 1052 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:25,880 Speaker 1: home games? Was it Kirk Cousins, Drew Brees, Matthew Stafford 1053 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,879 Speaker 1: or Tyrod Taylor Kirk Cousins, Kirk Cousins. Yeah, and number five. 1054 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 1: This would have been the one that in the Hall 1055 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,640 Speaker 1: of Fame. Only two of the top ten rushers last 1056 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,520 Speaker 1: season were drafted in the top fifty. Ape was one 1057 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,319 Speaker 1: drafted at number three? Who was the other? Was it 1058 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, Latavius Murray, Jonathan Stewart or Frank Gore Davis Murray? 1059 00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,719 Speaker 1: Latavius Murray was drafted in the top fifty and in 1060 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:54,320 Speaker 1: many leagues, but not in most leagues. Frank Gore was 1061 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 1: the only one. He was drafted number forty eight. Well, 1062 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,239 Speaker 1: that makes me feel better than I It was really close. 1063 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:00,839 Speaker 1: He was kind of a trick question to keep people 1064 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,080 Speaker 1: out of the Hall of Fame. Oh that's that's that's 1065 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,480 Speaker 1: what you just don't want nobody in the Hall of Fame. Yeah, 1066 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 1: it's got it's got to be real elite company. So 1067 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,440 Speaker 1: next time you come on the show, I think you're 1068 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:10,840 Speaker 1: gonna be able to do it. I can't believe you 1069 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 1: got some of those questions. Hey, let's see, you know 1070 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,520 Speaker 1: I one that there was the show that I did 1071 00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:16,959 Speaker 1: where I went I had to head to the final. 1072 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,440 Speaker 1: I guess Eric Ollinger was like doing fun stuff like that, 1073 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 1: which is like we had to name like teams that 1074 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,560 Speaker 1: had three players at least one in the top twelve quarterbacks, 1075 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,680 Speaker 1: one of the top twenty four round that's awesome and 1076 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,759 Speaker 1: so stuff like that. And they did a speed round 1077 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,719 Speaker 1: at the end too, where it was like, uh, you 1078 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,720 Speaker 1: know guys with forty times and that's where I always 1079 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:37,399 Speaker 1: fell apart. Though, that's terrific. I'll have to add something 1080 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,040 Speaker 1: like that. That's really cool stuff. Just just yeah, keep 1081 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,040 Speaker 1: me out of the like they asked like draft picks too, 1082 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,319 Speaker 1: like it was the who originally drafted the player. Keep 1083 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,800 Speaker 1: me with the fantasy stats and I'll nail you with 1084 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,239 Speaker 1: these screw stuff like we're I have to remember things 1085 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,719 Speaker 1: from fifteen years ago. Well, color me impressed it and Jake, 1086 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 1: this was a great interview altogether. I really appreciate you 1087 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 1: coming on the show. No, I appreciate you guys having me. 1088 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,160 Speaker 1: It was a good time. Sounds good. We'll have to 1089 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,759 Speaker 1: schedule you in some time once the season starts or 1090 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,759 Speaker 1: maybe late in the preseason. Yeah, absolutely, all right, thanks Jake, 1091 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 1: take care and JP. I just realized I actually made 1092 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,439 Speaker 1: a six question. I don't know why, but I'm gonna 1093 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:11,799 Speaker 1: ask you to you Let's see how you can do 1094 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,440 Speaker 1: on this one. Here. You know I did okay in 1095 00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:17,319 Speaker 1: my head on the earlier one, so we'll see. All right, 1096 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,160 Speaker 1: here we go. Adrian Peterson led running backs with eight fumbles. 1097 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:25,560 Speaker 1: But who was second with six fumbles? Was it Adie Lacy, 1098 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:33,120 Speaker 1: Matt Jones, Melvin Gordon or a mere Abdula? Oh boy, 1099 00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:43,239 Speaker 1: that's a good one. Um hm, I guess I don't know, 1100 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,200 Speaker 1: so I'll just take a shot in the dark and 1101 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,680 Speaker 1: say Matt Jones. Matt Jones would have been my guest. 1102 00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,279 Speaker 1: That guy his butterfingers. But yeah, see that was my 1103 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:57,839 Speaker 1: next guess. Okay, yeah, that really concerns me for him. 1104 00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,879 Speaker 1: I mean, if he continues to fumble, is he gonna 1105 00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:01,640 Speaker 1: lose his Wayne? Is he going to lose the spot 1106 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:06,759 Speaker 1: in the rotation? I mean probably they have Um, they 1107 00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:10,760 Speaker 1: have Danny Woodhead, so a very good fantasy player, definitely, 1108 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 1: and like I'm targeting him in uh in drafts too, 1109 00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,439 Speaker 1: still like especially PPR. Obviously we know about that. But 1110 00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:22,799 Speaker 1: they I mean, they like Melvin Gordon, but who they're 1111 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,600 Speaker 1: still Brandon Oliver and he had a little run last year, 1112 00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:29,879 Speaker 1: didn't he or the year before? So yeah, I don't 1113 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,680 Speaker 1: think the leash is that long for Melvin Court. You know. 1114 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:36,640 Speaker 1: I feel that the reason I put those other guys 1115 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,799 Speaker 1: on the list, Matt Jones and Amrabdulah, is because they 1116 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:41,520 Speaker 1: also fumbled a lot too, So the other guys to 1117 00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,000 Speaker 1: watch out for. If they start to fumble a little bit, 1118 00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:45,920 Speaker 1: I would try to sell them if you have them 1119 00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 1: on your team, I think they might lose their jobs. 1120 00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,440 Speaker 1: A Merabdula zac Zentner and Matt Jones to Chris Thompson, 1121 00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,160 Speaker 1: who I love. I love both those guys this year. 1122 00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,120 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, me too. And as a Viking fan, I'm 1123 00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:00,319 Speaker 1: well aware of Adrian Peterson's fumble problem. Man, his hands 1124 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,359 Speaker 1: are horrible, aren't they. It's tough. I mean, he makes 1125 00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,719 Speaker 1: up for it with some great runs and so it's 1126 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,719 Speaker 1: easy to forget about the fumbles. But whenever you get 1127 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 1: into those big game situations, I mean, I know during 1128 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,400 Speaker 1: the playoffs last year, I was just sitting there waiting 1129 00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:18,040 Speaker 1: like it's going to come, We're going to get that fumble, 1130 00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:21,040 Speaker 1: and then it comes and turns the tie of that 1131 00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:24,640 Speaker 1: whole game. Well that's all we have for you this week. 1132 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,200 Speaker 1: If you like what you heard, please be sure to 1133 00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 1: subscribe on iTunes, leave us a review at fantasypros dot 1134 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,920 Speaker 1: com slash review, and leave us a rating in a 1135 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,560 Speaker 1: comment on iTunes as well.
