WEBVTT - BFFs 8/1 Hour 1: Nick Ercolano Joins The Show! NFL Injury Updates

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>News update. As the four pm trade deadline landed on

0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday afternoon in Major League Baseball, all was quiet. It

0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:10.799
<v Speaker 1>would seem it would be very slow moving trade deadline.

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Then a flurry of activity as multiple trades were reported

0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:17.319
<v Speaker 1>after the deadline passed. The biggest Zack Grenky going to

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:20.320
<v Speaker 1>the Houston Astros, a big move there for Houston trying

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:23.160
<v Speaker 1>to shore up their rotation the deadline, de Braves were busy.

0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 1>They brought in Shane Green and Mark Valansen to help

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>fortify their bullpen to come down to Detroit Tiger slunger

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Nick Costiano's to a crowded outfield. And while the San

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.199
<v Speaker 1>Francisco Giants did not trade Madison bump Garner, they did

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>send Drew Promerance to Milwaukee Brewers and Sam Dyson on

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>his way to the Minnesota Twins. In some prospect news,

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:43.879
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers will bring up right handed prospect Dustin May

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>who makes his debut on Friday when he starts against

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:48.279

<v Speaker 1>what they always say. Anyway. I am Frank Stanfeld joined

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.680

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 1>while now puts out great content on YouTube, Nick Lano.

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Twitter at Nick Underscore b d g E. I know

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.799
<v Speaker 1>you have a huge following on YouTube as well. It's

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 1>a pleasure to have you in studio, buddy. I'm excited

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:39.959
<v Speaker 1>to be here. Man. Anytime I can get out of

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>my apartment and get into a studio that has air conditioning,

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm all about it. It's New York summers is no joke. Man,

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:46.919
<v Speaker 1>we barely have air conditioning, so you're giving us a

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.959
<v Speaker 1>little bit too much credit here. And of course in Nashville, Tennessee.

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:52.519
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about Nashville little bit because I know you

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>went there recently for the NFL Draft. It's her buddy,

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Eric Young, e y. What's going on? Boys? Boys? Good

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 1>to be here. Um happy that we're up and running

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>better late than never. That is uh something that they say.

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who they are and I don't trust them,

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, and also on top of that, air conditioning

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 1>is good and I started following, Uh a, man, they're

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:17.119
<v Speaker 1>just a few minutes ago, so we're we're good to go. Yeah,

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.679
<v Speaker 1>this is an opportunity for for you guys to virtually

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 1>meet So Nick, meet e y, e Y meet Nick.

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>This is a virtual handsheet. Is that cool? If I

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 1>call you e y? Can we start off with like

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>the abbreviations right off the bat? Yeah, that everyone calls

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 1>me that Eric Young is what it stands for. But

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 1>almost no one calls me Eric. Almost everyone calls me

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 1>e y. So yeah, that's a that's convenient. You can

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 1>call me whatever you want, I answered to a bunch

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 1>of different things. I think I'm gonna go with Eric. Then,

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 1>what do you prefer to you? Why do you want

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>e y? Do you want Eric? Yeah? I mean e

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 1>wise Fine, it's easier to say, um, long story short,

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Eric Young is uh my chosen profession name. I have

0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>a different real name, and UH decided to when I

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 1>was seventeen because no one likes their real name when

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>they're seventeen, and Eric Young could be the worst fake

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 1>name of all time. You chose one real name for another,

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I guess fake generic real name. So Eric Young, that's

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>what we'll go with for now. We'll talk about it

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.479
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow with all that. But we won't do that today.

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Not No, not today, because we've already wasted enough time.

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>We started late. As I mentioned what we want to

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>do today, I brought Nick in studio, not only because

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Greg Sussman is not around. I've been wanting to get

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>him in studio for a while now. Actually, we want

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.160
<v Speaker 1>to talk about players who he is mostly in on

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.840
<v Speaker 1>this year, players that he has multiple shares of. I'm

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:39.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna do what I do best. I'm gonna play a

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 1>little devil's advocate, so we'll talk about the upside of

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 1>these players. Will also talk about the downside of players,

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 1>because I don't know that people talk about the downside enough.

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 1>We kind of sprinkle it in, But I think that

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>this is something that we also have to talk about.

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Uh not everyone says upside. We have to talk about

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.599
<v Speaker 1>the downside of these players as well. We'll do that

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:58.600
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of this first hour. In the second hour,

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 1>we will have the Action hour, where we will get

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 1>some of uh Nick's favorite NFL future bets. We will

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>also be joined by Virginia Zakas probably should have told

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.719
<v Speaker 1>the guys downstairs. We'll be joined by Virginia Zakas later

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:11.960
<v Speaker 1>on an hour two to get the latest on some

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 1>NFL injuries. Let's start with some of your favorite players here, Nick,

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that we kind of package all of these

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay packers in together, because I'm looking down at

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 1>this list. We have three packers, Devantae Adams, Aaron Jones,

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and Mark haz Valdis Scanling. Let's target start at the top.

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I am someone who is also in on Davanta Adams.

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I've talked to e Y into moving him up his

0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 1>rankings as well. I have him as my wide receiver

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.160
<v Speaker 1>one overall, not a wide receiver one of him as

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.840
<v Speaker 1>the wide receiver one. I know that DeAndre Hopkins is

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 1>awesome pound for pound, might be the best talent in

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:47.480
<v Speaker 1>the NFL, But when I look at the package of

0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 1>what Devanta Adams has to offer, between his red zone usage,

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 1>the amount of touchdowns he scored over the past three seasons,

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>he's also led the NFL and red zone targets over

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 1>the past three seasons. The fact that he has one

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 1>of the greatest quarterbacks of all time throwing him the

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>football and he was basically throwing it on one leg

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>last year. All of those things together kind of culminating

0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>have Davantae Adams as my wide receiver one. So probably

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.039
<v Speaker 1>in a similar camp as you. Yeah, you know what,

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even realize that three Green Bay Packers on

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 1>this list. It's perfectly fine. It's a great offense to

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.480
<v Speaker 1>be a part of. Yeah, I think when you're going

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.599
<v Speaker 1>with tiebreakers, look at the quarterback, look at the offense

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 1>that they're on. Who's going to score the most points?

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 1>And when you look at this Green Bay team, um,

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.719
<v Speaker 1>by all intents and purposes, Aaron Rodgers had a bit

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.560
<v Speaker 1>of a down year. Right, you look at the the

0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.720
<v Speaker 1>end of the season results twenty five touchdowns, two interceptions,

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.920
<v Speaker 1>great statistics, but he is a quarterback built to score

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 1>at thirty five to forty touchdowns. Dante Adams, like you said,

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 1>has been you know, top five, top three in terms

0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>of red zone looks year in and year out. Now,

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.479
<v Speaker 1>volatility is something that comes along with wide receiver touchdowns. Right,

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>It's very hard to predict, but absolutely when you're in

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.599
<v Speaker 1>uh AN offense like this with Aaron Rodgers, who is

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you owned him last year, you were

0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.480
<v Speaker 1>obviously not disappointed. He was so consistent week over week.

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.039
<v Speaker 1>What the crazy part is he was receiving you know,

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.480
<v Speaker 1>ten twelve, fifteen targets a game, and Aaron Rodgers kept

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.280
<v Speaker 1>publicly coming out and saying, we need to get him

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.240
<v Speaker 1>the ball more. We need to get him the ball more. So,

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>It's it's one of those fuel things along with the statistics.

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 1>And I have him right now on my big board

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 1>as one oh five overall. As soon as those top

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 1>four guys, the top four running backs are off the board,

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 1>it's it's Davante Adams there, and I just think there's

0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>no risk there when you look at the beginning of

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 1>your drafts, rounds one to three, four. You want to

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 1>minimize risks, right, you want to make sure that seventy

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 1>of your fantasy points that are gonna be scored week

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 1>over week over week are actually being scored. And Davante

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Adams a guy you can trust because you know, looking

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>at Aaron Rodgers that he's good for a minimum thirty

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns and Davante Adams head thirteen last year. Right, so

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>you take the twenty five that Aaron Rodgers three, that's

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.200
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be looking at Davant Dams every time that

0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>they're down there. And Rogers had a career low like

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 1>touchdown rate in terms of point two touchdown rate last year.

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.119
<v Speaker 1>He hasn't touched that since I think maybe his rookie

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 1>year or something. You might have the fact it was

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>by far the lowest of his career. Okay, yeah, so

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>you you know, you think that jumps back up to

0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>a career average maybe around six percent, six point five percent.

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:00.840
<v Speaker 1>That would have brought his touch down total from twenty

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>five to thirty seven touchdown passes last year. And who

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 1>is going to benefit from that? Like I think, you know,

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 1>it's very hard to predict record breaking seasons coming from

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>receivers because they're always outliers. But I really think we're

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 1>going to see something like d eight targets, hundred and

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 1>thirty receptions, and seventeen to eighteen receiving touchdowns from Davante Adams.

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>So right after those big four running backs are off

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the board, Davante Adams is here to, you know, establish

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 1>himself as the wide receiver, one the takes the t

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>A E K s. That's what we like here on

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:31.840
<v Speaker 1>the BFS from Nick throwing some hot takes out there.

0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned I'm gonna play some devil's advocate. It's really

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.320
<v Speaker 1>hard because I love Davantae Adams, but I'm gonna throw

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>this your way. E y, what if anything can be

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.440
<v Speaker 1>the downside to Davante Adams. I'll throw a few things

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:43.800
<v Speaker 1>your way and you let me know what you think.

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers has been in and out of the line

0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:47.839
<v Speaker 1>up the past couple of years. He played last year

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 1>basically on one leg, but he's missed time due to

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 1>like collar bone. I feel like he might have had

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.240
<v Speaker 1>a concussion at some point because he does take off

0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 1>and run a little bit and he's prone to injuries.

0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll throw that out there. Plus another name on this

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.440
<v Speaker 1>list that will get to Marquez, Velda Scantling in Geronimo Allison.

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's hyping these two wide receivers up now. If they

0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.440
<v Speaker 1>do more in the past game, that could potentially take

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.680
<v Speaker 1>away from Davantae Adams. Now I love Davante Adams, but

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.439
<v Speaker 1>that is me playing Devil's advocate, preaching the downside. Y

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 1>are any of those things legitimate to you as reasons

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.680
<v Speaker 1>why you would pass on Davante Adams. Yeah, I don't

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 1>think downside. Like you said you had talked me into him.

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I moved up piece of my wide receiver three, just

0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:31.160
<v Speaker 1>behind Hopkins and Julio. So Adams is a student. And

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 1>I remember reading a thing saying, uh that Aaron Rodgers

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 1>said that he watched a bunch of film back and

0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 1>said there was a bunch of times where Davanta Adams

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.640
<v Speaker 1>was completely open and he didn't throw them the ball.

0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Um Having Allison there, uh in the slot and Scantling

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 1>on the outside in the end, I think only helps Adams.

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Adams is going to be the undisputed one, and let's

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.960
<v Speaker 1>not forget like, Okay, Yes, Aaron Rodgers has been hurt before.

0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.319
<v Speaker 1>Football is a full contact sport. Every year, I feel

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.800
<v Speaker 1>like the NFL works on having the quarterbacks less and

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.679
<v Speaker 1>less hit and less and less injured, because they are

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 1>the stars of of what makes an offense go. He

0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 1>was an unbelievable quarterback on one leg last year. Uh.

0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Having a new coach in a new system, I believe

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 1>will only benefit him. And he's going to make it

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 1>a point to be a better player, to show everyone

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:25.679
<v Speaker 1>that he was right in McCarthy was wrong as a

0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 1>chip on his shoulder. UM. I always leaned towards the

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:32.120
<v Speaker 1>mental side of things like that. Like these players, all

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.960
<v Speaker 1>of them are freak athletes, all of them are good athletes,

0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.880
<v Speaker 1>all of them are great football players. But what separates

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:42.439
<v Speaker 1>people is sometimes motivation and mental stimulus and and Aaron

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Rodgen Aaron Rodgers has a check mark and all of

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 1>those things. Vonde Adams is a stud and I'm not

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:50.840
<v Speaker 1>going away from him. Yeah. I mean, even going back

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:52.959
<v Speaker 1>to Torty Nelson as the wide receiver one of this

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Packers offense, we saw massive seasons out of Torty Nelson

0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 1>as well. I mean, this is a legitimate thing that

0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 1>you can hang your hat on. Is the number one

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver the Packers offense. If you have Aaron Rodgers

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.320
<v Speaker 1>trust you are going to put up monster fantasy numbers.

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.240
<v Speaker 1>So play a little bit of Devil's advocate there. There

0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.679
<v Speaker 1>is downside to any player, and I will mention that

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Davanta Adams has had concussion issues. E y. I remember

0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.520
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years ago when Davanta Adams got absolutely

0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:18.719
<v Speaker 1>crushed on Thursday Night Football on that and that hit

0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:20.840
<v Speaker 1>over the middle. I came in the next day and

0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:22.679
<v Speaker 1>I was throwing things at you. You were throwing things

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:24.880
<v Speaker 1>at me, and we were getting crazy about that. I mean,

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 1>you can't really forget it. Davanta Adams has had concussion issues.

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.480
<v Speaker 1>He's taken some big hits. You have to take that

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.840
<v Speaker 1>into consideration. Every player has a downside in the NFL.

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's a very violent sport. We realized that.

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.920
<v Speaker 1>But if he and Aaron Rodgers stay healthy, even in

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 1>a new Matt La floor offense, I don't really see

0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:42.760
<v Speaker 1>how it can fail. So I am very excited about

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Davanta Adams. He is my wide receiver. One I've mentioned

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 1>mvs and I've mentioned Geronimo Allison. To me, this is

0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:53.120
<v Speaker 1>one of the harder ones to pick apart here because

0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to be excited for both players. But as

0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.200
<v Speaker 1>much as I like Davanta Adams, there's only one football.

0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 1>There's only so many targets to go around. For me,

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.760
<v Speaker 1>when I'm looking at this, it's MVS on the outside.

0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.079
<v Speaker 1>Is Jeronimo Allison in the slot? MVS to me is

0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.440
<v Speaker 1>a freak athlete. This guy is six ft four four

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.560
<v Speaker 1>point three seven forty yard dash that tested in the

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:15.480
<v Speaker 1>nineties six percentile according to Player Profiler. The speed score

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 1>is legitimate. The only thing that I'll say is I

0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:21.560
<v Speaker 1>think Jeronimo Allison has more of Aaron Rodgers. Trust. I

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 1>think we saw that a little bit last year where

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.720
<v Speaker 1>there was a stretch that MVS was fantasy relevant. He

0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.360
<v Speaker 1>was Fantasy viable, but then he kind of faded and

0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 1>it seemed like Aaron Rodgers wasn't really targeting him as

0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.960
<v Speaker 1>much in the offense. And then on the other side,

0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 1>for Jeronomo Allison, he's playing in the slot now, and

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 1>we've seen slot receivers for fantasy. Nick, I mean, that's

0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.200
<v Speaker 1>just been gold. So I'll throw it your away. You

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.559
<v Speaker 1>have MVS on this list, you're very excited about him.

0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 1>I want to be excited about him, but it's like

0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.680
<v Speaker 1>the freak athlete on the outside versus the slot receiver

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.280
<v Speaker 1>who might have Aaron Rodgers trust. And that's why I

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:54.800
<v Speaker 1>keep going back and forth on these two. What do

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.000
<v Speaker 1>you have on MVS? Yeah, I'm I'm a huge fan

0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>of MBS and for a lot of the reasons that

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.720
<v Speaker 1>you pointed out, I love the Athletic Pro file and

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't I try not to read into beat reporters

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:05.679
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of the hype that coming out of

0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 1>training camp when you start hearing it over and over

0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.679
<v Speaker 1>and over again from the quarterback, from the coach, from

0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 1>the GM, from Beat reporters, MVS is the guy. MVS

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.240
<v Speaker 1>is the number two, you know, in a in a

0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.079
<v Speaker 1>physical standpoint like him being the number two means he'll

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.160
<v Speaker 1>be on the field for probably ten to more snaps

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.679
<v Speaker 1>than John Millison. Him being outside as opposed to the

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.720
<v Speaker 1>slot means that his depth of target is also going

0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.040
<v Speaker 1>to be about double the range of Joonal Millison's is.

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:31.440
<v Speaker 1>And like you said, like he came on the field

0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.480
<v Speaker 1>and once John John Mileson was banged up last year,

0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.320
<v Speaker 1>which is a concern because John Mollison's game logs so

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.640
<v Speaker 1>far three years, he's he's pretty old. People who don't

0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:40.880
<v Speaker 1>know this, this this is a fourth year coming into the

0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:44.440
<v Speaker 1>into the league. Seven games, eleven games, five games. The

0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 1>guy has not shown durability. And Aaron Rodgers, you know,

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 1>he might trust him, you look at his statistics from

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 1>last year, but do you think he's gonna try to

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 1>build chemistry with someone that he doesn't even trust staying

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 1>on the field. So when I look at MBS, came in,

0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.520
<v Speaker 1>had four games right off the rip where they were

0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.520
<v Speaker 1>very fantasy relevant, right, and then twenty four the right

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>he hit that rookie wall. And there were some reports

0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:05.959
<v Speaker 1>that there was a riff there between MVS and Aaron

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Rodgers because MBS kept running the routes that Mike McCarthy

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.680
<v Speaker 1>was telling him to run. And yeah, exactly. I don't

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.439
<v Speaker 1>know how much truth there is to it, but clearly

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that's been that's been fixed, and Aaron Rodgers and MBS

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.240
<v Speaker 1>have been, um, you know, fixing up their chemistry a

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 1>little bit. And when I look at who's more equipped

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 1>to play outside, it's MBS by a mile, because he's

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.600
<v Speaker 1>a great athlete, as you pointed out four three seven,

0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.080
<v Speaker 1>and he's got that. He's huge. He's big, four long,

0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.200
<v Speaker 1>six four two oh five, so he's got the legitimate speed.

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 1>And Aaron Rodgers is someone who's not afraid to throw

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the ball deep. And Donalo Allison. It's like, you know,

0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:36.560
<v Speaker 1>when guys get to the end of their career, they're

0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:38.640
<v Speaker 1>less athletic, so you kind of have to put them

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.000
<v Speaker 1>in the slot because it's naturally gonna give you more separation.

0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:42.400
<v Speaker 1>You don't actually have to beat cornerbacks. And I think

0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 1>that's what you're seeing from Allison. I know we saw

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:45.720
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years out of Randall Cob there, but

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 1>it didn't seem like there was any wide receiver two

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 1>that was viable to catch basses. So I think if

0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:52.640
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna give Aaron Rodgers, who's one of the most

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:56.320
<v Speaker 1>accurate outside quarterbacks outside of the numbers, the free room

0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 1>to choose his wide receivers, you know it's gonna be

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 1>MBS over Allison in my opinion. All Right, we come back,

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.160

0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I hear you. I hear you making the music ladder

0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 1>downstairs trying to get some dance moves out of me.

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:11.920
<v Speaker 1>I am joined by Nick Ercolano right next to me.

0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Fall him on Twitter at Nick Underscore b d g E.

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Big Dog's Gotta Eat. Someone in the chat also asked

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:22.000
<v Speaker 1>not to someone Lance Davis, a faithful viewer of the show.

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.320
<v Speaker 1>He says, uh, you must be a fan of Ben

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:29.359
<v Speaker 1>Jarvis Greene ELS's b j G. It's close as absolutely

0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.880
<v Speaker 1>zero percent of the reason why the name would be

0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:33.520
<v Speaker 1>b d G E. I was a fan of Ben

0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Jarvis green Ellis at the time. Um horrible dynasty pick

0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:38.600
<v Speaker 1>if if you were in the game at that point,

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.480
<v Speaker 1>but he was exciting and uh, I'd like to think

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the passion about my brand comes from

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Ben Jarvis green Ellis, So shout out to wherever. What

0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.440
<v Speaker 1>do you think he's doing right now in life? Ben

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Jarvis green Ellish, Man, I couldn't, man. I hope he's

0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.040
<v Speaker 1>all right. I just hope everything's going right for him.

0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, man, I mean former Patriots running backs.

0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.360
<v Speaker 1>It seems like they let you go so early on

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.040
<v Speaker 1>in your career and you lasted on with the Bengals

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.000
<v Speaker 1>for a little bit. If you love touchdowns, and you

0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.639
<v Speaker 1>probably love Ben Jarvis green Ellis, Um, I couldn't tell

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:06.960
<v Speaker 1>you what he's doing. I hope he's alright. THO. Shout

0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:09.600
<v Speaker 1>out to Ben Jarvis greene Ellis. We're also joined by

0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:13.160
<v Speaker 1>e Y, the Eric Young and Ey I mentioned before

0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the break, I wanted to throw this here away. We

0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of talked about this during the Packers preview. It's

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 1>like Geronimo Allison versus NVS. You heard Nick spitting some

0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:24.040
<v Speaker 1>hot fire over there regarding mvs. Where do you land

0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.480
<v Speaker 1>on this? And have you have you been flip flopping?

0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Have you? Have you just I believe you were on

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.639
<v Speaker 1>Allison before. I could be wrong about that. Where do

0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:34.680
<v Speaker 1>you stand now? I had them back to back and

0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:37.680
<v Speaker 1>and actually Allison was ahead, But now I've got Scantling

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:41.920
<v Speaker 1>ahead of him and Allison about three picks behind him. Um,

0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I think the only thing that would sway me is

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe in a PPR. But the hard thing that the

0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.040
<v Speaker 1>thing is this is a different coaching staff, a different

0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.600
<v Speaker 1>different offense is going to be run. We don't know

0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 1>how many times there's going to be three wide receivers

0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:58.720
<v Speaker 1>on the field. Um, Like Nick was saying, Scandling is

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:00.960
<v Speaker 1>being said to be the number or two when their

0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.000
<v Speaker 1>offense is on the field. He's going to be on

0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.440
<v Speaker 1>the field and Allison will come in and out as

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:08.240
<v Speaker 1>there's as there's three wide receivers set. So I think

0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.640
<v Speaker 1>that they will probably alternate some. That's not a hard

0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 1>and fast rule, but I think Scaling is going to

0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.920
<v Speaker 1>have more opportunity. I think is his depth of target

0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:18.840
<v Speaker 1>will be farther, and I think you'll probably score more touchdowns.

0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.200
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, just to me, the opportunity they're playing

0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 1>with Rogers. I got scaling ahead of him. But Allison

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:26.680
<v Speaker 1>is a player that I really like. I think he's

0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:28.919
<v Speaker 1>gonna catch a ton of balls this year. All Right,

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:32.600
<v Speaker 1>screw it, we're all on MVS over Geronimo Allison. Let's

0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 1>go with it. The the athletic freak on the outside

0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.879
<v Speaker 1>six ft four four three seven forty. You've talked me

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.359
<v Speaker 1>into it. The reason why I ask you one of

0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:42.080
<v Speaker 1>the other is because what I've seen in a lot

0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.080
<v Speaker 1>of drafts, and you probably have as well. As soon

0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.200
<v Speaker 1>as someone takes one of those Packers receivers, the other

0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:48.560
<v Speaker 1>one goes off the board immediately, it's like it's almost

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:50.520
<v Speaker 1>a light bulb in someone's head that said, oh crap,

0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:52.320
<v Speaker 1>the Packers receivers. I just saw one of them. Go

0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:54.880
<v Speaker 1>let me grab the other one. So it's it's basically

0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.399
<v Speaker 1>impossible to get both of them unless you're on the

0:18:57.440 --> 0:18:59.520
<v Speaker 1>turn like the seven eight turn or like eight nine

0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:03.640
<v Speaker 1>turn for example. Yeah. I actually stacked Davante Adams with

0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:06.960
<v Speaker 1>MVS in are you in the scott Fish Bowl. Yes,

0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:09.640
<v Speaker 1>I took Davanta Adams and pick eleven. I got him. Yeah,

0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:11.320
<v Speaker 1>I got really lucky. You got him at like sixteen

0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:13.440
<v Speaker 1>after getting Kelsey in the first. So yeah, Adam, so

0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:17.240
<v Speaker 1>I started Adams. Yeah, okay, I like that stack too. Um.

0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I grabbed Adams in the second and then MBS much later,

0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:21.439
<v Speaker 1>which I'm fine stacking. And to be honest with you,

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I prefer MVS. But I'm not going to be upset

0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.040
<v Speaker 1>if I end up with Allison around later or something.

0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:28.520
<v Speaker 1>I do see both of them starting to creep up obviously,

0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:31.600
<v Speaker 1>the you know, the hype from camp, it's gonna start

0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:34.320
<v Speaker 1>pushing everyone's adp up now. And I actually saw MVS

0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:37.840
<v Speaker 1>go at the six twelve today in Bestball Draft and

0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:39.960
<v Speaker 1>next twelve, and at that point, like, I like him,

0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:42.240
<v Speaker 1>but you know, it could end up being a time

0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:44.240
<v Speaker 1>share for the Wider Sheep two rolls. So it's more

0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:46.000
<v Speaker 1>so the fact that you can get him so late.

0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:48.119
<v Speaker 1>And we know historically that the wider Sheiver two in

0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.879
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay produces. Do we know who it is yet? No,

0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:54.920
<v Speaker 1>not literally, but everything is pointing towards MVS being that guy. Yeah.

0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I I did a Bestball draft on Saturday and he

0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:00.919
<v Speaker 1>went at seven oh seven and that was the highest

0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I saw MVS go at the time, So six twelve

0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, that that's easily the highest that I've

0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:08.399
<v Speaker 1>heard or or even seen him be drafted. So just

0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:10.479
<v Speaker 1>take this all into account. I mean, people are really

0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:12.159
<v Speaker 1>really buying in on the hype when it comes to

0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Mark has Valdi Scantling. Another player in this Packers offense

0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:17.920
<v Speaker 1>that you like a lot, Aaron Jones. Now I'm gonna

0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:20.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to lump Aaron Jones and Marlon Mack together

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:22.560
<v Speaker 1>as we've been doing on the show. We've been talking

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:25.879
<v Speaker 1>about that running back crew in the third round. A

0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 1>few of those maybe all of them. It probably won't

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:29.760
<v Speaker 1>be all of them, but I would imagine a few

0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.439
<v Speaker 1>of those running backs in that third round crew harry

0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:37.359
<v Speaker 1>On Johnson, Leonard four Nett, Aaron Jones, Marlon Mack, Josh Jacobs,

0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Davonte Freeman. Let's say those six running backs, I've seen

0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:45.160
<v Speaker 1>them go pretty regularly in the third round. They all

0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:47.679
<v Speaker 1>have a really good shot to return RB one value

0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:50.600
<v Speaker 1>legitimately finished his top twelve running back. So you like

0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:54.320
<v Speaker 1>both Marlon Mack and Aaron Jones, And I love Aaron Jones.

0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:56.679
<v Speaker 1>I basically keep going back and forth between him and

0:20:56.680 --> 0:21:00.000
<v Speaker 1>carry on is like the leader of that tier downside

0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:02.720
<v Speaker 1>for Aaron Jones is that he's dealt with so many

0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:06.040
<v Speaker 1>mcl s, brains and tears, and he's currently sitting out

0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.080
<v Speaker 1>with like a hamstring injury already at camp. So you

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:10.600
<v Speaker 1>have to take that into consideration. I understand it. To

0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:12.640
<v Speaker 1>a new offense coming in with Matt Laflour, I think

0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:14.480
<v Speaker 1>he kind of figured out last year down the stretch,

0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:16.920
<v Speaker 1>like how to evaluate running back talent, at least I

0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:19.880
<v Speaker 1>hope so he finally figured out to use Derrick Henry.

0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:22.720
<v Speaker 1>I would imagine that just watching any type of film,

0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:25.280
<v Speaker 1>he realizes that Aaron Jones is the most talented running

0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:28.160
<v Speaker 1>back in this backfield. And again, really good offense. And

0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:30.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, just having Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback, it

0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:32.200
<v Speaker 1>gives you so many running lanes. That's why you see

0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the ypcs so high for Aaron Jones. So I'll just

0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:36.639
<v Speaker 1>strow it your way. Aaron Jones and Marlon Mack and

0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:39.520
<v Speaker 1>really just like that whole tier of running backs, Why

0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:41.280
<v Speaker 1>you like those two the most out of them? Sure,

0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna preface with two things. One, the Andrew Luck

0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:49.000
<v Speaker 1>calf strain whatever is going on with his calf, which

0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:50.680
<v Speaker 1>has been going on for four months now, I didn't

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:52.960
<v Speaker 1>realize that serious since O t s that is, it's

0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:56.320
<v Speaker 1>it's terrifying me. I don't know, like we're into August now,

0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:59.199
<v Speaker 1>so that needs to be fixed up quickly. Um. The

0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:01.199
<v Speaker 1>reason I preface with that is because I absolutely love

0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Marlon Mack. I have him inside my top ten running

0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:07.679
<v Speaker 1>backs for this year. I will also preface with DeVonta Freeman,

0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Leonard four Nett, and I believe Josh Jacobs are basically

0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:13.240
<v Speaker 1>not on my draft board where you have to take them. Uh.

0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:17.000
<v Speaker 1>For Net and Freeman, their injury concerns for me are enormous.

0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:18.879
<v Speaker 1>And I think a lot of people look at the

0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:20.840
<v Speaker 1>injuries that they've dealt with and just assume, oh, they're

0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:23.840
<v Speaker 1>past it whatever. But we have you know, modern science,

0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:28.800
<v Speaker 1>and we have um someone from right. There are some

0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:32.119
<v Speaker 1>injuries that make you, um not. We can't predict the injuries,

0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:34.320
<v Speaker 1>but they make you a lot more likely to suffer

0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:36.879
<v Speaker 1>them again. And Davonta Freeman has dealt with so many concussions,

0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:39.119
<v Speaker 1>He's dealt with lower leg injuries. For Nets, ligaments in

0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:41.040
<v Speaker 1>his ankle are like tearing apart at this point, you know.

0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:43.400
<v Speaker 1>So I have those guys off my draftboard Josh Jacobs.

0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:46.480
<v Speaker 1>We're going to it another time, Um, Marlon Mack, Aaron Jones,

0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Karen Johnson. I wish you didn't have to do this

0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:50.640
<v Speaker 1>to me because I love all three guys. I will

0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:53.400
<v Speaker 1>start with Mac. If if we're gonna assume Andrew Luck

0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:57.159
<v Speaker 1>is healthy, I don't see you know, I look at

0:22:57.200 --> 0:22:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Mac almost like Davanta Adams. Right right before we broke out,

0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:01.399
<v Speaker 1>we were like, Boddy Adams is is a lock for

0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:03.439
<v Speaker 1>ten touchdowns. We didn't know that he could hit that

0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:06.280
<v Speaker 1>yard receiving mark yet, right, we didn't know he was

0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 1>that type of player. Max scored ten touchdowns in twelve

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:10.680
<v Speaker 1>games last year, and two of those games he only

0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:12.600
<v Speaker 1>played on like thirty percent of the snaps because he

0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:14.240
<v Speaker 1>was coming back from injury. So you look at what

0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:16.280
<v Speaker 1>he did in the sample size of basically ten games

0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:18.480
<v Speaker 1>as their starter. It was a thousand yards from scrimmage

0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:20.600
<v Speaker 1>and it was ten touchdowns. What is the floor for

0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:22.280
<v Speaker 1>a guy like Mac as the as the running back

0:23:22.320 --> 0:23:25.000
<v Speaker 1>one in this Colts offense who I project to be?

0:23:25.119 --> 0:23:26.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, A lot of the argument is, oh, he

0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 1>only does well when they're winning, and like the Cults

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:30.840
<v Speaker 1>are going to be an incredible team this year, right,

0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:33.679
<v Speaker 1>they'll probably I would project them to win probably twelve games.

0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:36.480
<v Speaker 1>So yes, maybe he'll only be in when they're winning,

0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:38.600
<v Speaker 1>but that's gonna be the large majority of time. He

0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:40.359
<v Speaker 1>was tied for seventh in the league and goal line

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:42.840
<v Speaker 1>carries last year, right, Like, how many opportunities he's gonna

0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:44.040
<v Speaker 1>get on the goal line. There's no one else taking

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:46.840
<v Speaker 1>goal line opportunities. Name hind is there. Yes, he might

0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:49.439
<v Speaker 1>be more of a pass catcher, but name Hinds put up.

0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm just kidding you know. I was gonna say how

0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:53.800
<v Speaker 1>many NFL games you played in the last like two years?

0:23:53.880 --> 0:23:55.240
<v Speaker 1>And that's the thing, Like they didn't go out and

0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:58.679
<v Speaker 1>sign anybody. They didn't. Number only makes their guy. And

0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:01.160
<v Speaker 1>in an offense, they have an elite sensive line, they're

0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:03.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna score five a ton of points. They were top

0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:04.880
<v Speaker 1>five in scoring last year as well. They're probably gonna

0:24:04.880 --> 0:24:07.960
<v Speaker 1>improve more continuity with the offensive line. I just don't see.

0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you might disagree with me on the upside of

0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Marlon mac but I can't imagine a season where his

0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:17.399
<v Speaker 1>floor is not double digit touchdowns. I just can't do it.

0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:19.800
<v Speaker 1>So I will take that there. Aaron Jones I love.

0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I think people look at Aaron Jones the wrong way though.

0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I think what we need to do is accept the

0:24:23.080 --> 0:24:24.960
<v Speaker 1>fact that he's going to be in a committee, but

0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:28.800
<v Speaker 1>he excited about him getting sixteen to eighteen touches and

0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:30.679
<v Speaker 1>having less of an injury risk. Use him in the

0:24:30.720 --> 0:24:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Camara role, you know what I mean, and give him

0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:35.640
<v Speaker 1>five targets, but twelve carries, even if it's like fourteen

0:24:35.760 --> 0:24:39.119
<v Speaker 1>eighteen carries or touches in general exactly, that's fine. I

0:24:39.160 --> 0:24:41.440
<v Speaker 1>would love him because he'll be super efficient in this offense.

0:24:41.440 --> 0:24:43.119
<v Speaker 1>Who has a great run blocking line. Right they were

0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:44.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of banged up a little bit, but they're back

0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:47.080
<v Speaker 1>to form here with Aaron Rodgers new offensive aunt La

0:24:47.080 --> 0:24:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Flour who's coming from you know, the McVeigh, the Shannah

0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:50.879
<v Speaker 1>andry like they know to get their ball to the

0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:53.640
<v Speaker 1>running back in space on these pass on these passing plays.

0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:55.240
<v Speaker 1>And they've already talked about that this summer. So it's

0:24:55.240 --> 0:24:57.199
<v Speaker 1>like Aaron Jones, I don't want him getting twenty five

0:24:57.240 --> 0:24:58.720
<v Speaker 1>carries because he's gonna be out of He's gonna be

0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:01.160
<v Speaker 1>out of the game by week six. So give Dexter Williams,

0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:03.439
<v Speaker 1>Jamal Wims, whoever is actually healthy at the time, you

0:25:03.480 --> 0:25:06.040
<v Speaker 1>know the other seven carries inside the twenty and like,

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm all in on Aaron Jones. Carry On is another

0:25:08.040 --> 0:25:09.879
<v Speaker 1>guy that I absolutely love. But I want you to

0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:12.200
<v Speaker 1>jump in and tell me how you're feeling about carry On. Yeah,

0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I love carry On Johnson and I actually predicted, you know,

0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:16.920
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks ago that the THEO Ritic cut

0:25:16.960 --> 0:25:19.720
<v Speaker 1>was going to come. I drafted THEO Ritic in in

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Scott's fish Bowl as well. Unfortunately he's my RB one.

0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't want him to be my RB one, but

0:25:23.920 --> 0:25:25.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, when I take a wide receiver tight end

0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:27.479
<v Speaker 1>in that format, there's a tight end premium. I end

0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:29.720
<v Speaker 1>up with carry On Johnson as my RB one. And

0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:31.520
<v Speaker 1>at the time, THEO Ritic was still on the team,

0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:33.320
<v Speaker 1>but I had the thought that there was a chance

0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:36.840
<v Speaker 1>THEO Riddic could get cut. So I think that the

0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:40.359
<v Speaker 1>past the receiving upside for carry On Johnson is massive.

0:25:40.480 --> 0:25:43.919
<v Speaker 1>And I think last year Matt Patricia and although there

0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:45.840
<v Speaker 1>is a new O C here, it is an OC

0:25:46.040 --> 0:25:49.160
<v Speaker 1>that likes to run the football. I think they realized that,

0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:51.919
<v Speaker 1>all right, let's not mess around with like le Garrett Blunt,

0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:55.280
<v Speaker 1>C J. Anderson. We know that carry On Johnson is

0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:56.919
<v Speaker 1>the most talented running back on this team. Like they

0:25:56.960 --> 0:25:59.560
<v Speaker 1>traded up to get him, they're clearly going to use him.

0:26:00.119 --> 0:26:02.280
<v Speaker 1>I would probably paint the same picture around carry On

0:26:02.359 --> 0:26:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Johnson that it would Aaron Jones, and that I don't

0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:06.560
<v Speaker 1>want him to be a workhorse running back. He's been

0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:08.760
<v Speaker 1>injury prone going back to his days in college. So

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:11.560
<v Speaker 1>even if he only sees fourteen to eighteen touches per game,

0:26:11.720 --> 0:26:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I also expect the Lion's offensive line to be better

0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:16.600
<v Speaker 1>this season as well, that he'll be really good in

0:26:16.600 --> 0:26:19.880
<v Speaker 1>those fourteen to eighteen touches. So I mean differentiating those

0:26:19.920 --> 0:26:22.760
<v Speaker 1>three running backs, it's something that might win or lose

0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:25.240
<v Speaker 1>you your fantasy season. But I think all three of them,

0:26:25.240 --> 0:26:27.879
<v Speaker 1>between carry On Johnson, Aaron Jones, and Marlon Mack have

0:26:28.000 --> 0:26:31.119
<v Speaker 1>immant you know, top twelve running back upside e y.

0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to paint the the downside picture once again

0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:37.560
<v Speaker 1>for you when it comes to all three of these guys,

0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:39.840
<v Speaker 1>and then we'll get your thought your thoughts on how

0:26:39.840 --> 0:26:42.399
<v Speaker 1>you ranked them overall. Marlon Mack, the thing that I

0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:44.560
<v Speaker 1>worry about is the receiving. How much is he going

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:45.919
<v Speaker 1>to catch the ball out of the the backfield. A lot

0:26:45.920 --> 0:26:48.280
<v Speaker 1>of people play in half point PPR full point PPR.

0:26:48.720 --> 0:26:51.439
<v Speaker 1>That might limit his upside if he's not catching a

0:26:51.440 --> 0:26:55.520
<v Speaker 1>ton of passes, like realistically his ceiling might be forty receptions.

0:26:55.600 --> 0:26:58.440
<v Speaker 1>So I'll throw that out there as one of his downsides.

0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:01.360
<v Speaker 1>And this potential Andrew Luck injury as well. Aaron Jones

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:03.200
<v Speaker 1>has had had a ton of injury concerns. He's already

0:27:03.200 --> 0:27:05.320
<v Speaker 1>torn his m c L. I believe it's been twice already,

0:27:05.359 --> 0:27:07.480
<v Speaker 1>so he's missed time due to that. So you have

0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 1>to worry about that. And then with Kerrie on Johnson,

0:27:09.359 --> 0:27:12.000
<v Speaker 1>there's a chance that the Lions just suck overall, and

0:27:12.040 --> 0:27:14.320
<v Speaker 1>while they want to be a running football team, they

0:27:14.400 --> 0:27:17.400
<v Speaker 1>might not have that luxury. So for all those three

0:27:17.440 --> 0:27:20.800
<v Speaker 1>things your way, once again, how are you? How are

0:27:20.840 --> 0:27:23.040
<v Speaker 1>you ranking these three running backs? And are you excited

0:27:23.040 --> 0:27:26.680
<v Speaker 1>about all three of them? Away? I am excited about

0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 1>all three. These are all guys that that that I like.

0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously, um some more than others. Aaron Jones.

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I have as my uh my running back five right

0:27:37.160 --> 0:27:40.920
<v Speaker 1>behind David Johnson, and and I may move him up

0:27:41.000 --> 0:27:43.119
<v Speaker 1>just because of the unknown of what the Cardinals are

0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:46.159
<v Speaker 1>going to be. I fink we're all wanting it to

0:27:46.200 --> 0:27:48.240
<v Speaker 1>be what everyone thinks it's going to be. We wanted

0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:50.560
<v Speaker 1>to be exciting. We want him to run seventy plays

0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:53.959
<v Speaker 1>the game. We want Kyler Murray to be this unbelievable player,

0:27:54.600 --> 0:27:57.600
<v Speaker 1>um and um. But the truth is is nobody really

0:27:57.640 --> 0:28:00.200
<v Speaker 1>knows yet, and that's that's a bit of a risk. Um.

0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:04.040
<v Speaker 1>So I have Aaron Jones, then I have Karry on Johnson.

0:28:04.200 --> 0:28:06.320
<v Speaker 1>It would be by next and then Marlon mack is

0:28:06.320 --> 0:28:09.600
<v Speaker 1>like two picks behind him Karen Johnson. Like I said, Detroit,

0:28:09.760 --> 0:28:12.720
<v Speaker 1>they may suck, they may be a terrible team, but

0:28:12.840 --> 0:28:15.159
<v Speaker 1>now they've got rid of theoretic So I think that

0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to me, is just only going to increase Karry on

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Johnson's catches. He's going to be the starter, um and C. J.

0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Anderson is gonna be, you know, probably there for goal line, short,

0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:27.600
<v Speaker 1>short yardage situations. But I feel like Carrie on Johnson's

0:28:27.600 --> 0:28:29.760
<v Speaker 1>they're going to lean on him. They're going to lean

0:28:29.800 --> 0:28:32.440
<v Speaker 1>on him heavily, um, more so than he's ever been

0:28:32.520 --> 0:28:35.400
<v Speaker 1>leaned on, I believe, and and that's going to produce

0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:38.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of volume if he can stay healthy. And

0:28:38.080 --> 0:28:40.720
<v Speaker 1>that's the question. I love watching this guy run. He

0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:43.840
<v Speaker 1>runs like a lunatic um. But the truth is is

0:28:43.920 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 1>he's he doesn't have the frame to run how he runs.

0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:49.880
<v Speaker 1>So that's a that's a that worries me about his durability.

0:28:50.200 --> 0:28:52.080
<v Speaker 1>You heard it from e Y he runs like a lunatic.

0:28:52.120 --> 0:28:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Ey knows the thing or two about being a lunatic himself,

0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:56.640
<v Speaker 1>so you know, I would take his word. When it

0:28:56.680 --> 0:28:59.800
<v Speaker 1>comes to karry On Johnson, I currently have them ranked

0:29:00.200 --> 0:29:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Harry On, Aaron Jones, and Marlon Mack. I might be

0:29:03.240 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 1>overthinking like the receiving upside for Marlon Back. I mean,

0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:09.040
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk about this more when we get back as well,

0:29:09.360 --> 0:29:10.920
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, for me, I have a carry On Johnson,

<v Speaker 1>downside to these guys, but overall they do have a

0:29:18.520 --> 0:29:21.600
<v Speaker 1>ton of upside going in that round three range as well.

0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Greg Susman joined in studio by Nick Klano and the

0:30:19.080 --> 0:30:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Eric Young. We got three minutes here before we reset

0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:26.120
<v Speaker 1>at the top of the hour, so I will move

0:30:26.200 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 1>over Tom. Who do I want to touch on real quick?

0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's go with Tyler Boyd because everything that's going on

0:30:30.680 --> 0:30:33.560
<v Speaker 1>with A. J. Green here Again, we only have about

0:30:33.560 --> 0:30:35.960
<v Speaker 1>two minutes left now at this point, so we'll keep

0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:38.400
<v Speaker 1>it short here. We've talked a lot about Tyler Boyd

0:30:38.400 --> 0:30:40.000
<v Speaker 1>and A J. Green and a J. Green you know,

0:30:40.080 --> 0:30:43.560
<v Speaker 1>had surgery, kind of expected to be ready for week one.

0:30:43.560 --> 0:30:45.480
<v Speaker 1>He probably won't. I'd imagine he misses at least a

0:30:45.480 --> 0:30:47.520
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks of the regular season. There were some

0:30:47.560 --> 0:30:50.200
<v Speaker 1>stats that Scott Barrett of Pro Football Focus put out

0:30:50.200 --> 0:30:53.400
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend regarding Tyler Boyd showing how he was

0:30:53.520 --> 0:30:55.640
<v Speaker 1>better when A. J. Green was on the field. I

0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:58.200
<v Speaker 1>would imagine that's because he attracts A J. Green attracts

0:30:58.200 --> 0:31:02.840
<v Speaker 1>so much defensive attention. But those stats are little misleading

0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:04.960
<v Speaker 1>because he played some of those games obviously without Andy

0:31:05.000 --> 0:31:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Dalton as the quarterback and Jeff Driskell. So overall, why

0:31:07.720 --> 0:31:10.680
<v Speaker 1>do you like Tyler Boyd as much as you do? One?

0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I believe in Tyler Boyd as a as a player.

0:31:12.680 --> 0:31:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Right We're seeing this mold of slot wide receivers becomes

0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:17.880
<v Speaker 1>super popular in you know, particularly fantasy football. The guys

0:31:17.880 --> 0:31:19.800
<v Speaker 1>that are over six foot, Adam Thealon's, the ju Juice

0:31:19.880 --> 0:31:22.840
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, not necessarily explosive athletes. But that's exactly the

0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:25.040
<v Speaker 1>mold that Tyler Boyd fits into. We just saw him

0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:27.000
<v Speaker 1>produce and put up over a thousand yards in an

0:31:27.040 --> 0:31:29.280
<v Speaker 1>anemic offense. And I don't know if this offense is

0:31:29.280 --> 0:31:31.640
<v Speaker 1>going to be any better per se in terms of points,

0:31:31.640 --> 0:31:33.560
<v Speaker 1>but they're gonna be higher pace with the new you know,

0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:37.000
<v Speaker 1>offensive coordinator, new head coach, and I look at Boyd

0:31:37.040 --> 0:31:38.880
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, those stats that people throw out, I feel

0:31:38.880 --> 0:31:40.960
<v Speaker 1>like are kind of lazy, No disrespect to Scott bad.

0:31:40.960 --> 0:31:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have actually see the numbers, but I assume

0:31:42.480 --> 0:31:44.480
<v Speaker 1>it was just a straight split of games with Boyd

0:31:44.640 --> 0:31:47.719
<v Speaker 1>with with without great Yeah, so that obviously doesn't take

0:31:47.760 --> 0:31:49.880
<v Speaker 1>into context that Jeff Driscoll was the quarterback for about

0:31:49.920 --> 0:31:52.480
<v Speaker 1>five of those games, right, So yeah, so those are

0:31:52.840 --> 0:31:55.040
<v Speaker 1>those are obviously going to be skewed when you're looking

0:31:55.080 --> 0:31:57.000
<v Speaker 1>at Boyd's numbers. But in those three games that he

0:31:57.040 --> 0:31:59.840
<v Speaker 1>had with Andy Dalton, his target share was really really high.

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Was like around when you're gonna look at efficiency in

0:32:04.000 --> 0:32:06.440
<v Speaker 1>terms of stats, give me the volume in a small

0:32:06.480 --> 0:32:09.160
<v Speaker 1>sample size over efficiency, because you know the next game

0:32:09.200 --> 0:32:10.560
<v Speaker 1>he could have went for a hundred fifty yards and

0:32:10.560 --> 0:32:12.080
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden that that four game span

0:32:12.200 --> 0:32:13.760
<v Speaker 1>is much bigger. So if you're gonna tell me, with

0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:15.600
<v Speaker 1>a J. Green off the field, you're going to continue

0:32:15.600 --> 0:32:17.840
<v Speaker 1>to see volume. They obviously, I mean, they're around Boyd

0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:20.480
<v Speaker 1>and they give him the extension over a J. Green.

0:32:20.720 --> 0:32:22.320
<v Speaker 1>So I think that should tell you something about their

0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:24.600
<v Speaker 1>offensive plans with Boyd this new head coach comes over

0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:27.240
<v Speaker 1>from l A. Gonna use them like Cooper Cup Tyler Boyd.

0:32:27.400 --> 0:32:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm all in, do not shy away. He is the

0:32:29.200 --> 0:32:30.840
<v Speaker 1>only thing to have in this offense. E Y. You

0:32:30.920 --> 0:32:33.800
<v Speaker 1>good to stick around for the start of the next hour. Yeah,

0:32:33.840 --> 0:32:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I can stick around for a little bit. Appreciate that,

0:32:36.400 --> 0:32:37.920
<v Speaker 1>e Y. So when we come back, we get e

0:32:38.040 --> 0:32:39.600
<v Speaker 1>y s thoughts on Tyler Boyd will touch on a

0:32:39.640 --> 0:32:42.040
<v Speaker 1>few more of these players. The action hour coming up

0:32:42.080 --> 0:32:44.640
<v Speaker 1>next is the BFFs here on the Fantasy Sports Network.
