5
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: to another edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul

6
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: Shargi in my co host today, like last week, Brian

7
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: Johnson Guillotine Leagues dot Com and Matt Harrison's Shock Fantasy. Yeah,

8
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: where do you shocked? Where do you deliver the shocks?

9
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 1: And that's what I want. I'll get my mind out

10
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: of the gun. Thank you. I appreciate that. Lots of

11
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: great stuff. I'm speaking of the gutter. Lots of great

12
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: stuff coming up in this show, and from the gutter,

13
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: from the gutter, like the stinkhole. Oh no, the stinkhol

14
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: What to do? Well, this is the gutters, this is

15
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: the really is. We're gonna get there and stay there

16
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: with the shock and the stinkhole is we believe Pick five,

17
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: We're going to tell you what to do. We think

18
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: the first four picks are pretty obvious in most leagues,

19
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: and the same four players are predominantly going in the

20
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: first four picks. But what do you do with picks

21
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: five through twelve. We'll tell you a little later in

22
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: the show when we venture into the stinkhole and beyond.

23
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: And you've been working on that radio voice. I was

24
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: practiced on that a little bit. Well, identify the bell

25
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: cow runners around the league. We'll talk about the teams

26
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: that have the most vacated targets, so there's some opportunities

27
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: to find an up and coming player. And then perhaps

28
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: the annual highlight of the preseason of Fantasy Football Weekly,

29
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: the reach around. Yes, we will be providing a player

30
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: upon whom you can reach a round on in every

31
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: round of your draft. We used to do this at

32
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: the live training Camp event, which unfortunately we're not doing

33
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: this year. But there's nothing better than doing reach arounds

34
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: in front of That was absolutely true. Sometimes sometimes you

35
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: gotta pay to see stuff like that. It was free.

36
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: But first we do a quick zip around the NFL

37
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: training camps preseason games and find out what you may

38
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: have missed, what are the big stories for each team,

39
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: Beginning with the Carolina Panthers. Matt practicing against the Ravens

40
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: this week, and the offensive line is very messy for

41
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Taylor Moten, who is the normal right tackle,

42
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: getting reps at left tackle since Cameron Irving is out,

43
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: and mixing and matching the old line is always just

44
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: a really great sign for everybody. They also signed Markel Harrel,

45
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: who was recently cut by the Raiders to the offensive line.

46
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: There influx a little bit there. Bad offensive line anyway,

47
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: and now reason to think, you know, it could potentially

48
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: be the worst in the league. Let's go to the Raiders, right,

49
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: Let's go to Las Vegas. Sounds good to me, where

50
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: Darren Waller has returned to practice. Hollylujah. That's that's pretty

51
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: much the biggest news coming out of Las Vegas this

52
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: past week. All right, I'll go to Green Bay, where

53
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: I have several injury updates. After playing well last week,

54
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: Jordan Loves shoulder injury is going to keep him out

55
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: of this weekend's preseason game and maybe longer than that.

56
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers returned to practice after missing sometimes so good

57
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: news there. A j Dillon nursing a calf injury but

58
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: should be back soon. And non injury news from the Packers.

59
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: Robert Tounyon continuing to get rave reviews and he keeps

60
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: inching up every week. I move him up as spot

61
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: or two on my rankings. He could be sitting on

62
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: a really nice season. Let's go to the Washington football

63
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: team at UH seventh round. Rookie wide receiver Des Milne

64
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: is drawing praise from Ron River and Camp, calling him

65
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: a great route runner with good size. Had a decent

66
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: showing in the preseason opener, which included a nice punt return.

67
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: You know, coaches love those guys who can chip in

68
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: on special teams too. He's got a chance to be

69
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: a third or fourth wide receiver there in Washington. All right, Brian,

70
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: let's go to Buffalo. I am very excited about this,

71
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: and you are as a well charged. I can only

72
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: imagine Zack Moss returned to practice. I'm glad and yes,

73
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be my RB one when I take

74
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: down our Empire League this year fellas spanking Houston Texans.

75
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: The Athletic reporters say that Philip Lindsay could lead the

76
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: team and carries, and if you recall a couple of

77
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: weeks ago, we mentioned that their first depth chart that

78
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: they published had Philip Lindsay and mark ingram is co

79
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: starters and were like, what, but that might actually be

80
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: the case. I noticed on Underdogs a DP this week

81
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: that Lindsay is now one above David David Johnson, and

82
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: I think that is appropriately so. And David David Johnson's

83
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: looking like this is a real danger for him, and

84
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: then Tyrod Taylor Peter should be headed for the team's

85
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: Week one starter role. Let's head over to the Tampa

86
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. Matt Antonio Brown got thrown out of practice

87
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: after ripping off the helmet and punching Titans corner Chris

88
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: Jackson during joint practices. Fiery competitor, competitor or psycho, you

89
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: be the judge. I think we already know Cleveland Browns Brian.

90
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: We all know O b J in Cleveland, right, but

91
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: we need to get to know d j P. Donovan

92
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: People's Jones, who has been lighting up camp. He said,

93
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: d j P d p J. I'll see if you guys,

94
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: I knew I was gonna mess it up. D p

95
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: J Donovan, Donovan Jones, People's People's Jones. Something j P

96
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: and jelly donut donut donuts sounds. We'll work this out.

97
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: We'll work shop this off. D p J has looked great. Uh.

98
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: Last year he was the twenty five wide receiver taken

99
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: in one of the deepest rookie classes. Uh. He finished

100
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: fourth in that class, though an average yards per route

101
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: run showed some flashes late after oh b J went down.

102
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: During weeks thirteen through fifteen, d p J posted the

103
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 1: second most yard John throws twenty plus yards down field.

104
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the third wide receiver for the Browns.

105
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: Looking good. Indianapolis Star beat writer Jim I yellow after

106
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: sniping me one pick before, I was going to take

107
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell, took Paris Campbell, and then after he took

108
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: him told me that no receiver in camp has gotten

109
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: more consistent separation then Paris Campbell. Good job, Jim. His

110
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: speed has returned, as well as evidence by his long

111
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: reception in the first preseason game. Uh. Remember in Campbell's

112
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: one full game last year, he only got one because

113
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: that's how. That's how. Paris Campbell rolls six catches seventy

114
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: one yards and he rushed for nine more yards. On

115
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: top of that, He's a freakish athlete and a nice sleeper.

116
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: That sounds like insider drafting from my yellow is that

117
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: is that allowed to Uh? He just did it to me.

118
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: The Detroit Lions matt uh Dan Campbell called himself an

119
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: a hole after cutting long snapper Don Muhlbach on his

120
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: forty birthday. But in all serious Tyrrell Williams appears to

121
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: be the top wide receiver on the depth chart as

122
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: of now, and he's probably worth a late round flyer

123
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: in most leagues. Let's go to the Jets. Zack Wilson

124
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: and Corey Davis have been clicking as of late. Right now,

125
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: Corey Davis is going off the board roughly around wide

126
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: receiver fifty. Yeah, it seems a little late for a

127
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: guy they just paid a lot of money too, and

128
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna get leaned on heavily by the rookie

129
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: quarterback in New Jersey. I keep talking about the Chief's

130
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: offensive line partly because it was the team's biggest storyline

131
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: in the off season, but also because it's constantly in flux.

132
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: As it stands right now today, the five starters across

133
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: the Chief's offensive line have combined zero NFL snaps as

134
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: a member of the Chiefs. Three of them have zero

135
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: snaps in their NFL careers. So there's Orlando Brown, who

136
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: was the left tackle. He was in Baltimore before. Left

137
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: guard Joe Thuney was in New England before, but then

138
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: after that, it's all disaster. Right now, You're starting center

139
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: is Creed Humphrey, Your rookie, your right guardist Ray Smith.

140
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: The rookie and sophomore right tackle Lucas Niang has never

141
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: played an NFL snap. This bears watching. Much of our

142
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: optimism for the Chiefs being better than last year has

143
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: been built on that offensive line. Next up, the Seattle Seahawks.

144
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: Rookie wide receiver Dwyane Eskridge came off the pub earlier

145
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: this week and Russell Wilson's helping him catch up. They've

146
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: completed some early morning workouts and he's likely the third

147
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: wide receiver on the depth chart behind metcalf Ande, Lockett, Okay,

148
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: Brian Broncos, Melvin Gordon back in action uh. He has

149
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: missed most of the preseason with a minor growing injury. UH.

150
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams kind of a little bit of a head

151
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: start there. I think we all like him to win

152
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: that job in Denver. But Gordon is officially back in

153
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: the mix, and that are running back competition. Xavier Jones

154
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: has emerged as the second running back for the Rams,

155
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: and he's likely to get work in the regular season

156
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: as the second running back as well. He he got

157
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: to start for the Rams in the first preseason game.

158
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: He's known for his past catch and he caught three

159
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: balls in that preseason game. And I think he's gonna

160
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: chip in through the air that way. And remember from

161
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: a couple of shows ago, Sean McVeigh said that he

162
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: wants to be careful about not over using Darryl Henderson,

163
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: and so there's going to be some extra usage to

164
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: be had here and right now it looks like it.

165
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: Xavier Jones next up the Philadelphia Eagle. Yeah, Philly arrested

166
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 1: almost everyone in their Thursday night preseason loss to the Patriots.

167
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: They lost thirty five nothing. So the lone bright spot

168
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: was Davanta Smith getting constant, constant separation from the Pats

169
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: defensive backs. Noted uh Jalen Hurts missed the game, went

170
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: to the hospital with the stomach infection. He's gonna be

171
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: out for a few days this week. Okay. Miami Dolphins

172
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: Brian concerns that will be a running back by committee,

173
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: concerns really for Miles gask and truths, like myself, a

174
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: committee with Malcolm Brown and uh, sal sal Salvin, I

175
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: forgot it's for his name, Salvi. Um, I'm not to

176
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown. Two carries inside the ten in the first

177
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: preseason game, stuffed on both. I think they're more like

178
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: goal line carries. I'm weathering the storm with Miles Gas.

179
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: He will be the lead back for the Dolphins, but

180
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: we might be looking at a committee. But Gaskin is

181
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: still the favorite in my mind. And Malcolm Brown got

182
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: a lot of usage that I didn't want to see. Yeah,

183
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: but he did not do very well. Uh in those attempts.

184
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: Nobody ever wants to see Malcolm Brown. No, that's probably true,

185
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: um Vikings. We've already detailed their offensive line woes and

186
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: back to back shows, which should really be the big

187
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: story here, and that you need to be tracking. But

188
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: I'll also mention that Justin Jefferson returned to practice and

189
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: there's basically no doubt he will be ready for the

190
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: start of the season. Philadelphia Eagles Matt I already did Philly,

191
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna do Dallas. Dallas Cowboys. Matt Zeke slimmed

192
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: down this offseason in an effort to be more explosive

193
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: than durable. And he was quoted earlier this week that

194
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: he thinks that the Bell cow running back is dead

195
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: and that the quality of his runs are more important

196
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: than the quantity. So Zeke might just be reacting to

197
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard being a better back and saying, man, I

198
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: gotta get these right ahead of the storyline a little bit.

199
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Patriots. Yeah, the Patriots who just

200
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: played the Eagles on Thursday night, and everyone looked great

201
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: for New England getting Damien Harrison, Stevenson looked great again

202
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: and now J J. Taylor running back that has also

203
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: garnered some attention in the fantasy community. So maybe there's

204
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: some there's some assets on the New England Patriots. But

205
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna look good against the Eagles this year. It's

206
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: a team that you'll be circling. Uh, Damien Harris should

207
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: be going higher than he is just getting, you know, consistently,

208
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: in back to back games, he has gotten the basically

209
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: all of the meaningful rushing work with the first team offense.

210
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: Rare Stevenson does not concern you though he looks. He

211
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: does not concern me beating up third string defenses yet.

212
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: But he does look very good, and I like that

213
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: they brought him in and what was it maybe the

214
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: late second quarter for that touchdown run on Thursday night. Well,

215
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: Harris was beating second string. Well, the Eagles are just

216
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: eternally third string, but anyway the same, Okay. The Sades

217
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: have a constantly influx set of receivers and let's just

218
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: detail where they are in some updates Michael Thomas ahead

219
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: of schedule per Sean Payton. Trey Kwon Smith returned to

220
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: practice after missing time with an unspecified injury. He should

221
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: be the team's top receiver in the preseason opener. Marcus

222
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: Callaway shined in last week's preseason game and he's drawn

223
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: positive reviews in camp. He will be the other starter

224
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: in week one. And just a quick quarterback updates as

225
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill and Jamis Winston battle here. Taysom Hill started

226
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: last week's preseason game, looked inconsistent through three series. Jamis

227
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: Winston came in for five series. I thought he looked

228
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: a little better and he had two touchdown drives. We

229
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: do expect Winston to run the first team offense on

230
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: Monday night and we'll know more. Then. Let's go to

231
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. Man, there's not a lot in

232
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: Giants Land, but Austrian running back Sandral platz Gumer. Oh God,

233
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: I love that name. Yeah. I had a forty eight

234
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: yard run in the preseason game against the Jets last week,

235
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: and I just wanted an opportunity to say Sandro platz

236
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: Gumer twice in a show. And let's go to the Titans.

237
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: I meant to tell you before we started recording that

238
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: the Titans have no important news coming in their camp

239
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: right now, so nothing to talk about their The Steelers

240
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool suffered to minor ankle sprain and will miss

241
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: some time. He is expected, though, to be available for

242
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: Week one. Let's go to the Falcons. When Dolphins safety

243
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: Eric Rowe keeps praise on Kyle Pitts, it's time to

244
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: listen a little bit. He said of Pitts, he's long,

245
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: he's strong, and he's about to get the friction on. No,

246
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: that's not really it. That was uh somebody else. Well

247
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: that's partially true, though. Roe did say that he believed

248
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: Pitts would cause problems for defenses this year. All right,

249
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati Bryan not a lot of news coming out

250
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: of since he either, But that's kind of what you

251
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: want right now. We don't want to hear anything bad

252
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: about Joe Burrow or Joe Mixon, probably the most boomer

253
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: bust offense and fantasy football from Burrow to mix in

254
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. Our goal it set to see what happens.

255
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: Ever it as of right now, all is quiet on

256
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: the Midwestern front. In San Francisco, Trey Lance looked inconsistent

257
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: in his first NFL preseason game last week. He had

258
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: that beautiful deep bomb that you probably saw the Trent SuField,

259
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: but he also badly misfired and several other passes and

260
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: got sacked four times. Meanwhile, Jimmy Garoppolo went three for

261
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: three in his loan drive. Several starters did not play

262
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: in that game, including Raheem Mostard, who, by the way,

263
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: being badly overlooked. I think in Fantasy League he's You're

264
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: starting running back on a very good offense. Um, we'll

265
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: get another look at the Niners on Sunday night and

266
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: we'll learn a little bit more about Trey Lance into

267
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. At the time Arizona Cardinals. Matt, did you

268
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: say Austria Cardinals, Because I learned that Arizona has an

269
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: Austrian player named Bernards I like it, whose nickname is

270
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: obviously Psycho. He's Dan Arnold's replacement at tight end, by

271
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: the way, and uh, he'll probably be a practice squad player,

272
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: but maybe he'll be better than Dan Arnold in Arizona.

273
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: Maybe it's Psycho that they let Arnold walk next up

274
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: to Jacksonville Aguars Bryan Jacksonville kind of reaffirming that James

275
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: Robinson is their lead running back. And uh, I fear,

276
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: and I know you like this comp charge. I told

277
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: you earlier in the offseason. Reggie Bush the Reggie Bush

278
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: roll for Travis Etna Travis like we stick with the

279
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: generally approved pronunciation of generally that's it, Okay, I wasn't

280
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: sure you were done. Baltimore Ravens have injuries on their

281
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: offensive line Ben Cleveland and Kevin Zeitler, and injuries to

282
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: their wide receiver Sammy Watkins or shod Bateman, Marquis Brown Um,

283
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: all guys that are severe, severe enough that the Ravens

284
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: may choose to actually sit Lamar Jackson in Saturday Nights

285
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: preseason game and just not playing because of the offensive lining.

286
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: He's got no receivers to throw too anyway, and honestly

287
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: that might actually make some sense. Let's go to the

288
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears, Matt Andy Dalton will get they start in

289
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: Saturday Nights preseason game and get at least a quarter

290
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: of a half. But that means when the second team's

291
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: come of a half a quarter and a half. Got it.

292
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: But when the second team's come in, it'll be justin

293
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: fields going against Bill's quarterback, Sad Trombone Ski, or maybe

294
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: it'll be Happy Trombone Ski because he's in a revenge

295
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: game against the Bears in your CFS preseason. You have

296
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: a preseason revenge game. I think Mitchell true Whisky might

297
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: have one. Maybe I saw Tarik Cohen had Um had

298
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: tweeted anybody any any Bears fan who booze Sad Trombone Ski,

299
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: you are weird and sad, which I thought was was

300
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: pretty nice, Trombones. Our final team is the San Diego Chargers.

301
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: Brian Donald Parham Stock is on the rise six ft

302
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: eight pound tight end from short lived XFL fame. Seen

303
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: a lot of time and two tight end sets with

304
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: the Chargers lining up a lot in the slot on

305
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: the outside. You know, Mike Williams always gets hurt Keenan

306
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: Allen doesn't have the cleanest injury history. Donald Parham, keep

307
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: your eye on him. I would stash it if you

308
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: got a empty spot in Dynasty leagues right now as well,

309
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: it's fantasy draft season. If you've got a draft coming up,

310
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: you can get my personal cheat sheet available for free

311
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 1: at Guillotine leagues dot com. When we come back, we'll

312
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: identify the bell cow running backs around the NFL, which

313
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: guys are sure to get a lot of touches find

314
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: out when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. It's

315
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Thank you for listening. A bull Charchie

316
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: and Guillotine Leagues dot com. Matt Harrison with me, Brian

317
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: Johnson as well. Everybody wants to have bell cow backs

318
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day in fantasy opportunity

319
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: is more important than talent. And Matt, I've asked you challenged,

320
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: you always challenge me. I always challenge to identify the

321
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: bell cow running back. Summer obvious, Alvin Cook and Derrick

322
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: Henry are bell cow running backs. But as you get

323
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: deeper into this, there's some non obvious bell cows. And

324
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: let's let's hear what you've come up with, Well, we're

325
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: gonna cover all thirty two teams in this segment. Um,

326
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna divide them into four categories. There's the three

327
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: bells category. That's a lot of it. That's actually like

328
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: eight bells right there. About how that kind of hurt

329
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: does hurt? Uh? They're projected for over three hundred touches

330
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: and there's little to no competition. That's thus the three

331
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: bells three touches are the two bellsches. Two bells I

332
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: have projected for over two d fifty touches with some competition. Okay,

333
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: we call it two two because of the two bells

334
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: whatever and one bell. They're still gonna get around two

335
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: hundred touches. But there's lots of variants and there's competition.

336
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: And then there's workhorses, which is a split backfield. But

337
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: we think that they're going to get a little bit

338
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: more of the share. All right, I think I got it.

339
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: So let's start with three bells. Charge. Oh gosh, it's

340
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: almost knocked me over. I have six of them. We're

341
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: not going to discuss them in great detail though, um,

342
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: but it might be worth handcuffing their backups. That's Christian McCaffrey.

343
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: His uh handcuff would be Cuba Hubbard, Dalvin Cook with

344
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison, Derrick Henry with Darrenton Evans, Alvin Kamara with

345
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: Latavious Murray. Then it gets a little interesting. My other

346
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: two bell cows are Joe Mixon with Chris Evans or

347
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 1: Soma J. P. Ryan as the backup, and Naji Harris. Yeah,

348
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: I think that's probably gonna be accurate with Benny Snell

349
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: I guess as the backup. The Steelers have generally gone

350
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: with a bell cow running back mentality under Mike Tomlin.

351
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: Now let's get to the two bell running backs. So

352
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: there's more interesting stuff happening here. Okay, do you want

353
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: to give me two bells? Uh? Let's start with Ezekiel

354
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: Elliott and then I'm going to talk about the red

355
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: flags of each of these guys, whether or not three bells. Um.

356
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott's got some diminishing touches in each of his

357
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: last three years. Tony Pollard is good, the offensive line

358
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: has gotten worse, and Dack's injury history is questionable at best.

359
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: Although even Zeke doesn't quite believe in a thing called

360
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: bell cows anymore. Uh, next guy Aaron Jones his red flags.

361
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: What if A J. Dillon is really that good and

362
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: they can't keep him off the field anymore. Uh, Dylan

363
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: showed flashes last year late in the season. He's kind

364
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: of an interesting play. Yeah. The reason I'll differ with

365
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: you here from a carry's standpoint, I agree with that,

366
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: but I think those Jamal Williams receptions will go to

367
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones and that will keep his total touch total high.

368
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: It could. Um, let's talk about Nick Chubb next from

369
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: Cleveland red Flags. Missed a month last season with an injury,

370
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: and Kareem Hunt got paid and is a very capable

371
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: one to punch. Uh. Jonathan Taylor is next his red flags.

372
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: Frank Wright comes from a no bell cow philosophy. Correct,

373
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack returns and has been looking good, and Nihim

374
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: Hines is all right last year too. Plus Carson Wentz

375
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 1: and Quentin Nelson are both going to miss the start

376
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: of the season. Next Austin Ekeler Red Flags. It starts

377
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: with his health. Uh. He's a pass catching machine, but

378
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: he's never averaged more than eleven carries per game in

379
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: a season. That's not yes. Uh, no backups though to

380
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: scare you, although, well, you know, we really don't know

381
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,719
Speaker 1: what this new offense is going to look look like.

382
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: That's true Joe Lombardi offense. But you know, the hope

383
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: is that it's going to be like Alvin Kamara, where

384
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: there there's plenty of there's Latavius Murray's always always sprinkled in, right,

385
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: but Calvin Kumara was still the focal point of that

386
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: of the running backs, and we're gonna hope that that

387
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: is the case here with absolutely um a guy that

388
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people probably consider a bell cow Kwon Barkley. Yeah,

389
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: his red flags are he hasn't been healthy in two years.

390
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: His offensive line is one of the worst in the league.

391
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett, I mean, excuse me. Coach Garrett is his

392
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and Daniel Jones doesn't seem good. Yeah, there's

393
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: a lot of red flags there. There are a lot

394
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: of red play and you think that could affect his

395
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: total number of touches. They might be three and out

396
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: all here. By the way, he has that Texas Twang

397
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: Coach Garrett, he grew up like in New Jersey, you know,

398
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: you know, eventually though he's acting very poorly, all right,

399
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: let's are there any other two bell cow runners? I

400
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: get it looks like six more. Yeah. Antonio Gibson, his

401
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: red flags not utilized very heavily in the passing game

402
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: last year in favor of J. D. Mckissic Washington was

403
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: strangely past heavy last year and should be a end

404
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: with Stu Beard at the helm. But will it include

405
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: a huge uptick for Gibby, We're not really sure. Uh.

406
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire red flags hasn't proven to be a

407
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,479
Speaker 1: consistent short yardage back and could get spelled in that

408
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: since uh and it his size. I just don't think

409
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: it ever that part of his game ever comes together well,

410
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: and his offense just might be too efficient. Patrick Mahomes

411
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: is stealing his touches and touchdowns. H J K. Dobbins

412
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: red flags Gus Edwards like Lamar Jackson, and he wasn't

413
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: utilized enough in the passing game last year. David Montgomery

414
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: he was kind of a bell Cow last year, but

415
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: his red flags he was a product of having no

416
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: other runners on the depth chart last season. And Damian

417
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: Williams is more than capable of handling the pass catching

418
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: role and some possible goal line duties. Chris Carson red flags.

419
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: Injury issues have caused him to miss time in each

420
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: of the last three years, although not he hasn't had

421
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: like the A c L. You know he has four

422
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: a week at the injuries kind of a thing. Yeah,

423
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: Darryl Henderson, he's the last one in the two bell

424
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: scenario here. I don't think the coaching staff trusts him

425
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: to be a bell cow, or they probably wouldn't have

426
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: used their top pick in on cam Akers. Xavier Jones

427
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: has been turning heads in the passing game, and Sean

428
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: McVeigh has been a hot hand guy since Todd Gurley left.

429
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: So those are the red flags on Darryl Henderson. Let's

430
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: move on to the one bell guys. These are guys

431
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: who things that need to break exactly right for them

432
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: to be a bell cow. Uh, there's seven of them.

433
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift is the first one his red flags. Jamal

434
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: Williams might split carries or take at least a share.

435
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: Jared Goff's not a great quarterback in the passing game,

436
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: has very little that scares defenses, and Swift did miss

437
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: three games with injury last year. Josh Jacobs red flag,

438
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake stealing touches, especially near the goal line, and

439
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: the offensive line took a significant step backwards. Miles Sanders

440
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: red flags that he missed four games last year with

441
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: injury and was replaced in the passing game a lot

442
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: by Boston Scott last year. Jordan Howard might be the

443
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: goal line guy, and Kenneth Gainwell as a guy they

444
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: seemed to really like in camp. Mike Davis his red flags.

445
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: Are we sure that he's actually good? Yeah, I'm not

446
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,719
Speaker 1: with you on this. Well, you know, it's just I

447
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: can't imagine he's not. Mike Davids is not a great runner.

448
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: He but he's an okay runner and there's nobody else

449
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: on the team to carry a ball, so I think

450
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 1: he will do better than one bell. Atlanta's line did

451
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: take an off a step backwards with the loss of

452
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: Alex mac but he doesn't really have stiff competition. Miles

453
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: Gaskin red flags. As much as no one wants to

454
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: hear it, Malcolm Brown will get work, so will Salvin

455
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: Ahmed and head coach Brian Flores is from the Bill

456
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: Belichick tree and has already hinted at the running back

457
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: by committee. Damien Harris red flags Bill Belichick, Sony Michelle,

458
00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: James White, Romandre Stevenson, and Cam Newton. That's five animes

459
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: that are in his way of being a bell cow runner.

460
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: And j J. Taylor. Now people love j J. Taylor.

461
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm still optimistic. I'm optimistic too. I got a lot

462
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: of Damien Harris shares, but I'm still a little nervous.

463
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: Michael Carter, his red flag is he's a rookie. Their

464
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: defense is putrid and got worse this week with injuries

465
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: that should leave the negative game scripts and the Jets

466
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: have been bad for a really long time since. But

467
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: still he's the best runner they've had, maybe since Ladanian Tomlinson.

468
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: Once again, I disagree. I just think there's nobody else

469
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: to carry a ball there. They get an offensive line

470
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: with back to back first round picks on it. I

471
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: think I think he's going to be better than you do,

472
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: Michael Carter. I think Tevin Coleman is going to get

473
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: a lot more touches than everybody wants if he stays healthy.

474
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: Why not, he was good. I think we all agree

475
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: that Tevin Coleman is not good. But their head coach

476
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: came from San Francisco and Tevin Coleman came along the

477
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: way with him like he's going to be there. Zack

478
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: Moss last one Red Flags needs to stay healthy, but

479
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: he's a better blocker, goal line back and receiver than

480
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. Finally, we go to the workhorses. We got

481
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: you're already, Uh, there's six of these a split backfield,

482
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: but we think they're gonna get slightly more than half

483
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: and we need to zip through these six. They're gonna

484
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: be quick. Javonte Williams over Melvin Gordon, Raheem Mostart, and

485
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: the Shannahannigans in San Francisco, which could include Trey Sermon

486
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: and Wayne Gallman, maybe even Jeff Wilson, Travis e t

487
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: n the rookie and Jacksonville should take over for James Robinson,

488
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: but it might take him a month or so to

489
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: get there. Chase Edmonds will split carries with James Conner

490
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: unless Connor gets hurt. Ronald Jones and Leonard Fournett and

491
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: Geo Bernard it will be possible to peg who the

492
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: Bucks top runner is in any given week. That's the

493
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: worst scenario in the league. And last but not least,

494
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: Houston stay away probably a good idea that might be

495
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: the worst in the league. When we come back the Stinkhole.

496
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: We know what the first four picks are like in

497
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: most leagues, Christian McCaffrey, Dalvin Cook, Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara.

498
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: But then what the stinkholes? Pick five? What to do

499
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: with the stinkhole and beyond in the first round When

500
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly, Welcome back Fantasy

501
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Paul charge In, Matt Harrison, Brian Johnson with you.

502
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: If you haven't tried a guillotine league yet, we encourage

503
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: you to give it a shot. Eighteen teams start the season,

504
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: one for every week, no head to head, and at

505
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: the end of every week, the low scoring team gets

506
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: cut from the league and their entire roster goes to

507
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, where pandemonium ensues. Even guys like Alvin

508
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: Camara a whole draft worth of players, So it might

509
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: go Alvin Kamara, and then maybe the second round was

510
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, and the third round was I don't know,

511
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, and the fourth round was Darryl Henderson, and

512
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: they're all the waiver wire. It's tremendous strategies. You figure

513
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: out how much to bid on those players as opposed

514
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: to saving for later. And the best part is you

515
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: don't have to be the best team. Just don't be

516
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: the worst team. If you cannot finish last, you can

517
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: win your guillotine league. Last team standing wins at all last.

518
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: That's right. That could be our motto for this. We

519
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: believe pick five is this year's stink hole. If you

520
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: will um where the first four picks are pretty universally

521
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, Dalvin Cook, Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara, and then

522
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: after that all the remaining players feel like they have

523
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: some blemish to them, one of which being thrown out

524
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: a running back. And a lot of our listeners just

525
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: cannot conceptualize is the notion of not taking a running back.

526
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: Have they never heard of? Do the opposite? They've never

527
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: heard of the opposite. So we're here to give you

528
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: advice on what to do with the stinkhole, the fifth pick.

529
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: All the way through the rest of the first round.

530
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: We think this is the order in which to take players,

531
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: and we begin at pick number five, the stinkhole pick.

532
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: You've got picked five, Those four runners are off the board.

533
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: What do you do you take? Travis Kelsey, you know

534
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: who has regretted drafting Travis Kelsey. Nobody ever. You know what, though,

535
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: I think that you said the exact same thing about

536
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas last year. Hey can happen? He has been

537
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: tight in one for three straight years. In the past

538
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: six years, Travis Kelsey has missed two games and they

539
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: were both in week seventeens. And last year's tight end

540
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: one was also wide receiver three, yes, four at worst. Yeah,

541
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: He's an elite player in every meaningful metric, depth of target,

542
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: catch rate, drop rate, yards after catch, yards per game,

543
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,479
Speaker 1: any metric you want. Travis Kelsey is phenomenal. He's a

544
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: beast in the red zone, garnering an average of of

545
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: all of Kansas City's red zone targets over the last

546
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: five years. That's amazing. And Patrick Mahomes is the most

547
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: talented quarterback to ever play the game. Last week, you

548
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: guys may remember, in our pea cock off segment, I

549
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: said Patrick Mahomes is going to set the league's all

550
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: time passing record, single season passing record for both touchdowns

551
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: and yardage in one season. And it's coming here, and

552
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: nobody is going to get help more than Travis Kelsey

553
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: At pick five of your first round, fir sting Cole.

554
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: So let's go to the next spot. You've got picked

555
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: six in the first round, Matt, who is the appropriate

556
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: person to take care? I think you'd take Davante Adams

557
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: because what's not to like about Davanta Adams. If he's

558
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: not your wide receiver one on your board, he's maybe

559
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: number two. He's got the m v P of the

560
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: league at quarterback, who's frankly piste off and playing for

561
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: a chance to get away from Green Bay. And oh,

562
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: by the way, Adams is also in a contract here,

563
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: so he's motivated to get his big final pay day.

564
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: Double digit touchdowns and four of his last five seasons,

565
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: including eighteen touchdowns in fourteen games last year. He him,

566
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: along with Robert Tonyan are the red zone runners. They're

567
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: the infrared zone runners. They get the ball through the air.

568
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: It's it's it's absolutely amazing. And Davante Adams is a

569
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: perfect pick at six. All right, at pick seven, Brian,

570
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: who is the appropriate person to take the perfect person

571
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: to take it? Pick some it? It is another wide

572
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: receiver in his name is Tyreek Hill and uh charge,

573
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to take this opportunity to recommend your premium

574
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: cheat sheet on D eighteen leagues dot com, because it's

575
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: going to give me all the information I need to

576
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: make this pick at one oh seven. Uh, Tyreek Hill,

577
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: who is wide receiver to last year wide receiver five

578
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: the first half of the season wide receiver to the

579
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: second half of the season, very consistent percent of his games.

580
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: He finished top twelve at wide receiver. That is very good.

581
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: Of his games were outside of the top thirty. That's

582
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: also a very good metric in that category. Very few

583
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: dud games, and outside of Travis Kelsey, there's no one

584
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: catching passes from Patrick Mahomes. I'm not worried about me

585
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: Cole Hardman, or Byron Pringle or even Clyde Clyde Edwards

586
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: a layer for that matter. It's it's all Kelsey and

587
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: it's all Hill in the most dynamic offense in the NFL.

588
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: So take Tyreek Killy won't be upset. Can I tell

589
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: you why I love having Tyreek Kill on my teams? No,

590
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: Because when Patrick Mahomes takes that extra two steps on

591
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: his drop back and he's launching a rocket deep down

592
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: field and that ball is at its midway apex, you

593
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: know who he's throwing too, and I'm already off the

594
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: couch because it may be sixty yard bombed to Tyreek

595
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: Hill and Randy Moss back in the day. It does,

596
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: doesn't it. And it's fun. Tyreek Hill is so fun

597
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: to have on your team. And that's why I love

598
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: to have him. And that's why, actually that's why he

599
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: is my my top ranked wide receiver is because fantasy

600
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: football is supposed to be fun. I want to have

601
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of players. I have fun with him. Next,

602
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones with the eight spot in the first round.

603
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: Last year, he was running back five. Jamal Williams is

604
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 1: gone now and we're taking him his running back five

605
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: in the first round. A couple of shows ago, I

606
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: explained out Jamal williams departure was gonna vault Aaron Jones

607
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: into elite fantasy territory through receptions. Already talked about that

608
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier in this show. Williams was good

609
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 1: for forty ish targets per year that they got to

610
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: go somewhere in a j Dillon can't catch so well,

611
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: or at least they didn't target him. They cared targeted

612
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: three times all of last year. So I think Jones

613
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: has the opportunity to get even better here, and the

614
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: Packers have been almost perfectly judicious in their use of

615
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, with enough touches to be an excellent fantasy producer,

616
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: but not so many that he's an injury risk. Um. Yeah,

617
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: Jones may lose some goal line carries to a J. Dillon,

618
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: but not necessarily. Jones got ten carries inside the five

619
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: yard line last year and he scored five times at

620
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: conversion rates very good inside the five yard line. So

621
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: austome Aaron Jones very safe and he's got literally RB

622
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: one upside to him. If a J. Dillon doesn't pan out,

623
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: and they really need to lean on Aaron Jones, he

624
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: could be the highest scoring running back in football. And

625
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna take him at pick number eight. Let's go

626
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: to pick nine. Who's the perfect player to take matt

627
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: Um Austin Ekeler? But I feel like Brian should be

628
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: presenting the case here, but let's just go over it again.

629
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:53,439
Speaker 1: Chargers offensive line, much improved, coaching, much improved justin air

630
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: bear in year two. Eckler is healthy as far as

631
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: we know, and as far as fantasy points per much,

632
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: he's pretty much the top dog in the league. He

633
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: has league winning upside if he gets the requisite workload. Yes,

634
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: but as you elucidated earlier in the show, he's averaged

635
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: eleven carries per game and that in his top season. Yes,

636
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: it is top season, right, eleven carries per game. Now

637
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: he is work He does work a lot in the

638
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: passing game, which he was the backup in those years.

639
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: So though essentially though he was fast year. So you're

640
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: saying eleven carries his best year. Melvin Gordon was there

641
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: for twelve of the game. So that's what I'm saying.

642
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: He wasn't the league guy like he is now he's

643
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: the lead guy. Now, here's the league guy last year.

644
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: Still what average? He played half the season? Still then

645
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: average better than eleven carries? All right, So that's the

646
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: we believe that's the perfect, huge, huge upside. Yes, I

647
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: just I just want parts of the Chargers offense that

648
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: was picked nine. We're going through the stinkhole and beyond

649
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: picks five through twelve in the first round, let's go

650
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: to the perfect player for pick number ten. Ryan, Uh,

651
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: this is the time to take Ezekiel Elliott who Uh,

652
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: there's no sugarcoating. It has been a pretty bad player

653
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 1: to have on your fantasy team the last couple of years.

654
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: But he looks primed for a bounce back. He's he's

655
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: in shape. UH. Dak Prescott will be back. We think

656
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: now he'll be back. Uh. And and most importantly, because

657
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: it all starts in the trenches, the Cowboys offensive line

658
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: should return to elite status after getting obliterated by injuries

659
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: last season. Left tackle Tyrone Smith only played a hundred

660
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: and fifty four snaps. He will be back right tackle,

661
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: while Collins missed the entire season due to hip surgery.

662
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: He will be back. Zack Martin still one of the

663
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: best right guards in the game. Left guard Connor Williams

664
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: finished seventeenth overall in Pro Football Focus is grading. UH.

665
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: The only real questions that is at center. But they

666
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: do have a healthy competition there. So as long as

667
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: Zeke stays healthy, the line stays healthy, Dak stays healthy. Uh,

668
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: he'll pay off this one UH ten pick. Yes, when

669
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: he Pollard is a concern, but h Zeke shouldn't fall

670
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: any further than this. This is the perfect time to

671
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: take him, all right. I like it at pick that

672
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: was picked number ten. At pick eleven, We've got Nick Chubb. Now,

673
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: we can't get Chubb higher than this because he's not

674
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: a workhorse back. You can't. I can't. Sorry, But on

675
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: a different team, like team without Kareem Hunt, Chubb could

676
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: be the first player taken right different universe, like if

677
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: you had dropped into the Vikings right instead of Dalvin

678
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: Cook and you have to run first. You know, workhorse

679
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: mentality like Mike Zimmer has, Nick Chubb would be the

680
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: first player taken. Chubb's Pro Football Focus ranking over the

681
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: last two years was running back nine and running back one.

682
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: He's very good. Kevin Stefanski will always run the ball.

683
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 1: Last year, Stefanski had the fourth highest run rate. The

684
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: year before, as Minnesota's offensive coordinator, Kevin Stefanski had the

685
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: fourth highest run rate, So we can safely say they're

686
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: going to run the ball a lot. Chubb led all

687
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: backs in broken tackle rate last year and finished with

688
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: a gaudy five point six yards per carry. We already

689
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: know that Kareem Hunt. Kareem Hunt's presence doesn't really take

690
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: a lot away from Chubb, but he can be very

691
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: fantasy successful regardless of whether Hunt is in or not,

692
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: and even when Hunt played Chubbs still touched the ball

693
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: seventeen times per game. That's great, that's great, that's all

694
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: you need. Profo Ball Focus ranks the Browns offensive line

695
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: number one in the league and that provides some safety

696
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: for Nick Chubb as well. Some of those yards that

697
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: you want him to get are going to come easily

698
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: behind that offensive line. All right, let's go to our

699
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 1: final player from the stink hole and beyond. You've got

700
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: the last pick in round one? Who you got? But

701
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: I hope I have the first pick in round two

702
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: to well, yeah, it usually works that way. Um, I'm

703
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 1: gonna start with Jonathan Taylor. He was the best running

704
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 1: back in the league in the month of December, and

705
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,479
Speaker 1: I happened to believe that the last full calendar month

706
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: of the year that we've seen all players play was December.

707
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: So was that a sign of things to come? Was

708
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,760
Speaker 1: it desperation on the Colts part trying to make the playoffs?

709
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: Either way, If Wentz and Quentin Nelson returned earlier than advertised,

710
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: and all things are kind of pointing that they're kind

711
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: of ahead of schedule, possibly maybe week two or week three,

712
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: which would be really good. Jonathan Taylor is absolutely a

713
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: steel because he was getting drafted at the one five

714
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: in April, May and June in those super early drafts.

715
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: So uh, he has that upside. Can he get the

716
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: bell cow touches though, that's the big question. We reviewed

717
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: that a little bit in the last segment with Marlon

718
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: Mack there and Niam Hins there. I I just had

719
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: this conversation again referring to a friend of the show,

720
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 1: Jim I Yellow from the Indianapolis Star, and asked him

721
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: this very question about Jonathan Taylor earlier today, and he

722
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: said Taylor is the clear number one, but he expected

723
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: a rotation of backs. He thought it would be less

724
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: like December of last year and more like are less

725
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: like December and more like September, October November where they

726
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: had they mixed and matched some backs. Although Taylor clearly

727
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: as more confidence from the coaching staff now than he

728
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: did last September, but it took a while to get there,

729
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: and he thinks you're gonna, you know, fantasy, nor was

730
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: prepared to have some frustration there. It was a slow

731
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: start for Taylor displayed. Marlon Mack went down in week

732
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: one to and we all thought Taylor was going to

733
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: rock it. At that point, and it it didn't now

734
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: among the players who were not chosen yet for our

735
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,280
Speaker 1: first round, as we went through the stinkhole and beyond

736
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: the player that I would have had next, Antonio Gibson

737
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 1: would have been the next guy up for me, because

738
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: I love that whole offense to ascend in a significant

739
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: way with Ryan Fitzpatrick. I love the addition of Curtis Samuel,

740
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: and in the second year of ever playing running back,

741
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson's going to get better and he was already good.

742
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: Not only was Gibson good at the stuff you figured

743
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: he would have been good at last year as a

744
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: re converted wide receiver. We knew he could sprint to

745
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: the outside. We knew that he was gonna be good

746
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: catching the ball after the catchule they didn't throw to

747
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: him enough. But he turned into a good inside runner

748
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: as well. He was a tackle breaker. Things that he

749
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: didn't know for sure Antonio Gibson could do, he did,

750
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: and he was doing it against defenses that we're all

751
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 1: playing right by the line of scrimmage because they couldn't

752
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: pass more than ten yards downfield. Stu Beard's gonna open

753
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 1: up that whole field for the Washington offense, and that's

754
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: gonna make things a little bit easier for Antonio Gibson

755
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,399
Speaker 1: as well, So he would have been my next guy up.

756
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: I can make a case for Naji Harris as the

757
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: next guy up to um Uh mentioned it in the

758
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: Bell Cohouse segment last last segment. He's got the opportunity

759
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: to get three touches this year, and does the wide

760
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: receivers are good. The line and is a little scary,

761
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: and Big Ben probably doesn't scare people nearly as much anymore.

762
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:08,280
Speaker 1: But we've seen Pittsburgh Steeler running backs be top twelve

763
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 1: running backs consistently as long as they have talent. And

764
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's disputing the talent of Naji Harris

765
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: right now. I'll dispute the talent on offensive line all day.

766
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,879
Speaker 1: But still, and I think it's important we always harp

767
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: on people replaying last year. Well, Naji Harris doesn't have

768
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: a last year for most fantasy fans, and that's where

769
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: rookies are depressed a lot. If you look at all

770
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: of the second year runners that we're talking about, and

771
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,879
Speaker 1: second year receivers and we're talking about in the first

772
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: two rounds. Get on that now, identify these rookies and

773
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: replaying last year, Stefon Diggs could how about given bigger

774
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: he certainly is in the conversation in the late first

775
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: round that I think Diggs would have made sense. If

776
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: you are in a bigger league, especially, Darren Waller could

777
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: go as you know, it's you know the different when

778
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: you're in a bigger league. The differential between the you

779
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: know the well, if they're fourteenth or sixteenth or eighteenth,

780
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 1: if you're in a guille team league tight end is

781
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: really significant. Well, and if you're in a league with Brian,

782
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 1: you'd better take him before Brian's second round picks. He's

783
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 1: not getting You're gonna have to reach around on Waller.

784
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: He's not getting past the early second When we come back,

785
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 1: three tough questions for our panel of experts. You can

786
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: play along is Fantasy Football Weekly continues in moments our

787
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: number two Fantasy Football Weekly. Thank you for joining us.

788
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: If your draft is coming up, you'd like to get

789
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:58,959
Speaker 1: some player rankings that don't feel like everybody else's. That's

790
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,439
Speaker 1: what I do with my line at Guillotine leagues dot Com.

791
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: Try really hard not to fall into the group think

792
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: of the fantasy experts out there, which happens a lot,

793
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: and so I pride myself on having some really different

794
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 1: rankings that is available for free Guillotine leagues dot com.

795
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: I am Paul Charchie and my co host are Matt

796
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: Harrison and Brian Johnson. This is a game we like

797
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: to call three tough questions we encourage you to play along.

798
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: Tough question number one. Now that there are seventeen regular

799
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: season games, how much more important is handcuffing than in

800
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: past years? No more important, a little more important, or

801
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: a lot more important? Matt, oh no, there's five point

802
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: eight percent more games. What are we gonna do now?

803
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: If you didn't think handcuffing was important before, it's not

804
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: more important now. If I have Dalvin Cook, instead of

805
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: taking Aulex Madison and locking up one backfield, I'd rather

806
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: take Jamal Williams in the same round and potentially get

807
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: to backfields. If DeAndre Swift gets hurt, sure there's more

808
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: risk and reward than that. But if you play fantasy

809
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: to be safe all the time, have fun getting fourth place.

810
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: Plus I highlighted it last week. There's only been five

811
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: running backs in the last six years that have been

812
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,720
Speaker 1: handcuffy guys that have finished in the top fifteen only

813
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,479
Speaker 1: five and six years, less than one per year. It's

814
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: not more important at all. Okay, Brian, Is it no

815
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: more important, a little more important, or a lot more

816
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: important to handcuff this year given the extra game? Yeah,

817
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: basically the same answers, Matt. You have to start with

818
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: how important is handcuffing to you in general? And to me,

819
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: it's not that important. I prefer to steal the handcuffs

820
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: of other players, like in our Empire League. I'm kind

821
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: of we get running back, but I've got Uhuba Hubbard,

822
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 1: CMCs handcuff, I got Madison, I'm gonna go after Darrington,

823
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 1: Evans all those three, and one of them are gonna hit,

824
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't, So it's not any likely none of

825
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: them are gonna hit because five guys and six years

826
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: have done it well, further proving the point. Don't handcuff

827
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: really if you better you handcuffed, You're better off trying

828
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: to at least steal a handcuff than handcuffing your actual player.

829
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: But it's no more important just because of one extra game.

830
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: Come on, that's crazy. The correct answer is no more important.

831
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: We couldn't predict injuries when there were sixteen games, right,

832
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:18,879
Speaker 1: and so you know we're not gonna it's not only

833
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: to change because they're seventeen now. Uh. Handcuffing for the reasons,

834
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 1: Matt said, very saliently. I believe um is a very

835
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: dicey proposition. You should just say stupid. Well, it is,

836
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 1: it's it is. It's kind of stupid. And you've, you've, you've.

837
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: The way you set up is perfect. I can get

838
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,439
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams, who I could start in a pinch every

839
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: week of the season. Or I can have a backup

840
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: running back who only gets the ball like four times

841
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,760
Speaker 1: of games, five times a game, and I can't start

842
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: unless there's an injury to the starter and he's eating

843
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: a roster spot. And right I'm killing a roster spot,

844
00:47:55,719 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: a valuable roster spot. So don't handcuff and don't let

845
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: don't let the worry wards of the seventeen game schedule

846
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:09,879
Speaker 1: phase you the purse clutchers. Tough question number two, Which

847
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: quarterback has Fantasy Football's biggest risk reward ratio? Bryant? For me,

848
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 1: it's Dak Prescott. Uh, I know that the offensive line.

849
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: In the last segment, we said it's gonna return to

850
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: elite status. His trio of receivers might be the best

851
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He should be making his return to

852
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: full health, but I'm not convinced of that that that

853
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: the ankle is gonna hold the ball season. He has

854
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: the shoulder issue and that quarterbacks six, there's just way

855
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: too much risk for me there. Uh. I'd rather just

856
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: wait another round or two and grabbing Aaron Rodgers or

857
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: just an air bear. Uh. Dak Prescott the biggest high risk,

858
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: high reward quarterbacks from me this season? All Right, Matt

859
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: who is the quarterback with the highest risk reward ratio?

860
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: I have the same answer, Dak Prescott. The injury history

861
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: us uh. The upside, but you are taking him in

862
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 1: the fourth or fifth round, and that's a scary proposition

863
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 1: for a guy who hasn't been fully healthy in a year. Um.

864
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: Although last year, through his four and a half weeks,

865
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 1: he was on pace to be the best fantasy quarterback

866
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 1: in the league. Would probably have hit passing yards and

867
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: he was on pace for a nine rushing touchdowns. So

868
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: the upside is number one QB in the league. But

869
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: the downside is what you got last year. He might

870
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: not play, or he might not be as effective. The

871
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: there were two possible correct answers to this, I will

872
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: not accept another one. Neither one was neither one as

873
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. The the quasi acceptable answer is Trey Lance

874
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: because he may literally not play a game this year.

875
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: It's a very real scenario. He has zero Fantasy points

876
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: for the year. But because he's a Round twelve selection,

877
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: that is not That is not the correct answer, definitely

878
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: not the correct answer for the player with the highest

879
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:05,240
Speaker 1: risk reward ratio is Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts Round six

880
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: a DP and he didn't We didn't get to see

881
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 1: him on Thursday night, which is unfortunate because it adds

882
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 1: to the sense of mystery or on whether or not

883
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: he can pass, and that is the real question here.

884
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: If we look at his his four passing totals in

885
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 1: his four starts last year, he had to three yard games,

886
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 1: that's great. The other two games one hundred sixty seven

887
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: yards and seventy two yards. Now in the seventy two

888
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: yard or he got pulled out in the fourth quarter.

889
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: He got injured the fourth quarter, So I'll grant him

890
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of the way on that, but it

891
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: was still a not a good look for him, and

892
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: his defenses saw him more. His passing seemed to get

893
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: worse than words. As mentioned last week, Jalen Hurts had

894
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: the lowest completion percentage of any quarterback with at least

895
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: four starts last year. His passing volativity volatility puts a

896
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:57,280
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on his running game for you, fantasy owner.

897
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 1: Even elite runners like Lamar Jackson last year don't always

898
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:02,959
Speaker 1: run well, and they're they're better runners in this league

899
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: than Jalen Hurts of the quarterback position. So eventually, in

900
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: the NFL, if you can't pass, you can't play quarterback.

901
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: You can only do so much, and there is a

902
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: scenario here that involves at some point Jalen Hurts getting benched.

903
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 1: Now the upside, however, is massive on Jalen Hurts if

904
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: it turns out he can pass well. Now you've now

905
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: what you've done is you've taken Josh Allen as a

906
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: quasi functional passer and always a good runner and turned

907
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: him into what he was last year when you could

908
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: do both. When you can do both at the quarterback position,

909
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: pass and run, that's fantasy magic right there, and that's

910
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 1: why you've got the upside of an elite top five

911
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback and the downside of a quarterback who gets

912
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,760
Speaker 1: benched for Joe freaking Flacco. At least you can physically

913
00:51:57,920 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: pass and run right now, as far as we know

914
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, I'm not so sure Dax passes his whole life.

915
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: He's gonna be fine. Doc is going to be fine.

916
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm convinced Dax is gonna be fine. He's my number

917
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: seven ranked quarterback right now. Tough question number three. There's

918
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 1: an opening in a new excuse me, there's an opening

919
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 1: for a new team in your friends league. Somebody fills

920
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: that opening with their thirteen year old kid. Are you

921
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 1: cool with that? Matt? I spent the last year teaching

922
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: and coaching middle school kids, and mostly I don't tell

923
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 1: them about the fantasy football aspect of my life because it's,

924
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: you know, nerdy, But occasionally they find out. And when

925
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 1: they find out, I got some really super intelligent questions

926
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: from twelve fourteen year olds. They follow the sport like

927
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: never before, and it's because they've watched their parents play

928
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 1: fantasy since birth, and they they're cheering for players, they're

929
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 1: watching the Monday night games. If the kid gets it

930
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: and the kids involved. Let them play. Unless you do

931
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:06,879
Speaker 1: your draft at a strip club. All right, it's an

932
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: opening for a new team in your buddies league. Somebody

933
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: fills the opening with their thirteen year old kid. Are

934
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: you cool with that? Yeah, as long as I'm convinced

935
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: the kid is going to be is into it and

936
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: managing the team, that my buddy is not using his

937
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: kid as a vessel for a collusion. Collusion. But overall, yes,

938
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: bring on the kids, they are a future. Teach them. Well,

939
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 1: are we cool with that? Hell? No? What? Yeah? I

940
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: want kids to play fantasy football, of course I do.

941
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: They can play with each other, or they can play

942
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: the family league. Keep your kid out of my friends

943
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: league with a bunch of grown men. First off, the

944
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 1: party atmosphere of your draft just got torpedoed. Right. You've

945
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,879
Speaker 1: got a bunch of guys gals who have a long

946
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 1: history together. They tell war stories, they drop f bombs,

947
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: they're drinking feer. You didn't say we're having a live party.

948
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: But I donerally lame drafts you go to. They're smoking,

949
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: they're doing whatever, and all that's scuttled because somebody doesn't

950
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: see their kid enough at home. They gotta add the

951
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: kid into your fantasy league. What about my message board?

952
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: My message board filled smack talk obscenities. That's what I

953
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 1: want my message board to be with my friends. I

954
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: don't need to have the self censor because you decided

955
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: to bring your seventh grader into the conversation. I've been

956
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: meaning to talk to you about our message board. We

957
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 1: don't like the full frontal nudity picks that you keep posting.

958
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: Charge because they're mine, I know. And lastly, everybody, and

959
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 1: this is the Brian's point, everybody's gonna wonder about any

960
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 1: transaction that involves the father and the kid as the

961
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: as the dad is the dad pressuring the kid all

962
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 1: day long at home, talking him into it, helping his

963
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: allowance whatever. I mean, it's a huge problem just from

964
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: the integrity of the league. Look, we want kids to play,

965
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 1: play with each other, have a cafeteria draft, play with

966
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: the rest of your family, have aunt's, uncle's nephews, strange cousins.

967
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 1: Get get that going spring your seventh grader into my

968
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: grown up league. That's the correct answer. Charge is not

969
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: about no angry. You know we are man, you know

970
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: what we do. Love though the reach Around coming up now.

971
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: Don't let your kids listen to this next segment that's

972
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: right coming up next, the reach around we will give you.

973
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 1: We will give you one player in every round to

974
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: take a round earlier than his average draft round. Who

975
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 1: is the seventh rounder you need to take in the

976
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: sixth round because you want him on your team and

977
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 1: you do not want to risk not getting him to

978
00:55:48,560 --> 00:56:21,240
Speaker 1: reach a round. Coming up next, it's Fantasy Football Weekly

979
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: Paul Charchy and Guillotine Leagues dot com, Brian Johnson Guillantine

980
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 1: Leagues dot Com, and Matt Harrison's got a bunch of

981
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 1: great stuff at shock Fantasy dot com, including your dynasty

982
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:36,840
Speaker 1: cheat sheets, your trade value calculator, keeper league calculator. If

983
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I need to get Christian McCaffrey in

984
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 1: the second round or Mike Evans in the fourth round.

985
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: Which one is a better value? Oh, there's a calculation

986
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 1: for that. There is promo code radio if you want

987
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars off a membership. This is a segment we

988
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 1: call the reach Around. We do it one time each

989
00:56:55,600 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 1: year right here in this show. The premise, we give

990
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:03,399
Speaker 1: you a player that you should take one round earlier

991
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: than his average draft round. For example, we will go

992
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: through now and give you players that are going in

993
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: the second round we believe you should take in the

994
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: first round. We begin with Matt Harrison. Um, I don't

995
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: I don't know where we got this a DP from exactly,

996
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 1: but Austin Ekeler was listed as a second round pick,

997
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: so I think that we covered that we'd picked him

998
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: at pick nine in the last segment. So I think

999
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 1: Eckler is the play. Yeah, Ryan, you're obviously going to

1000
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: assume that it is my answer as well. We already

1001
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: assumed that I would take it. I just want to

1002
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: remind everyone that in two catches for Austin Ekeler, uh

1003
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: and that was really is like the primary third down back. Again,

1004
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,439
Speaker 1: he is the lead back. The question is how many

1005
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 1: touches will he get. I think he gets enough to

1006
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 1: easily clear two thousand combo yards if he can stay healthy.

1007
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: But that's the concern with everyone in the NFL, if

1008
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 1: they can stay healthy. All Right, We're all on Austin

1009
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 1: Ekeler as a second round player that you should take

1010
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 1: in the first round. But I'll also mentioned Antonio Gibson,

1011
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: who I mentioned as well in this who I think

1012
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 1: would have been a fine selection at the end of

1013
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: the first round as well. So Eckler, Eckler, Gibson, Let's

1014
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 1: go to the third round player you believe people should

1015
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: reach for in the second round. Matt A. J. Brown

1016
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 1: is listed as a third round pick. I'd take him

1017
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 1: in the second because before Julio was traded the Titans,

1018
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: many were considering Brown as the top wide receiver on

1019
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: their cheat sheets. And I don't understand why Jones coming

1020
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: in and drawing attention from the defense is a bad thing.

1021
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 1: He's not gonna get any double teams all year with

1022
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: eight in the box on Henry and Julio on the

1023
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 1: other side. Okay, Brian, who is your third round player

1024
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: you would reach for in the second round? I was

1025
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 1: gonna go a J. Brown, but I thought I'd mix

1026
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: it up good. But for the sake of the show,

1027
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: I went with Allen Robinson, who who might be safer

1028
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 1: than a J. Brown. They might be the ceiling not

1029
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 1: as high, but Allen Robinson one of three wide receivers

1030
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: last season with a hundred and fifty plus targets. Uh.

1031
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: Can you guess the other two guys by the way?

1032
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 1: Real quick? Other two Julio Jones, No, he's missed too

1033
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 1: much time. Target hogs Diggs, Diggs Hopkins got it, and

1034
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson now Dvote Adams and Keenan Allen would have

1035
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: cleared that threshold, but they they little injured. But uh,

1036
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson, whether or not it's Andy Dalton or justin Field,

1037
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 1: it'll probably be both a significant upgraded quarterback either way,

1038
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: and uh he'll be a target hog again and a

1039
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: very safe pick with a pretty pretty pretty sexy ceiling

1040
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: still either deeps. The round three player I am reaching

1041
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 1: four in round two is Terry McLaurin mccarden. He is

1042
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: the best receiver on an ascending offense led by a

1043
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 1: quarterback who can press the ball downfield, something Terry has

1044
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: never had before. He is going to get the best

1045
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacking of his life, and he was already a wide

1046
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: receiver one producer. He has the opportunity to be a

1047
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: top five fantasy receiver and by talent, he might even

1048
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: already be there by talent, but it's been suppressed by

1049
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: the likes of Alex Smith. So I take Terry McLaurin

1050
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: as might reach a round player in round three. Let's

1051
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 1: go to round four. Matt who's the player you're reaching for,

1052
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: the fourth round player reaching four and round three, that's

1053
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin. The upside is the top wide receiver in

1054
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 1: the game, because in twenty nineteen, with Jamis Winston at

1055
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: the Helm, he finished as the second overall wide receiver

1056
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 1: behind Michael Thomas. And it was that Michael Thomas yere

1057
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: where he caught fifty more passes than anyone else in

1058
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 1: the league. Godwin was also dinged up last year, so

1059
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: a healthy Godwin can probably win you your league. Okay, Brian,

1060
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: who's the fourth round player you'd take in the third round? Oh?

1061
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 1: You know it's Kyle Pitts. And the Falcons were not

1062
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: drafting a tight end in Kyle Pits. They were drafting

1063
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: Julio Jones replacement who they knew they were gonna lose

1064
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: a couple of months later. Uh, a guy they did

1065
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 1: not utilize in the red zone, Julio Jones. But they're

1066
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 1: gonna utilize Kyle Pits in the red zone, the infrared zone,

1067
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 1: the end zone. You've decided he's gonna be catching passes

1068
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: in the auto zone. Oh, I've decided this. Hayden Hurst,

1069
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: Russell Gauge Brandon Powell in the quantre red Well combined

1070
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 1: to score eleven touchdowns inside the ten yard line last year.

1071
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: Those are all going to Kyle Pitts, every last one

1072
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 1: of them, every last one of them, and then some

1073
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: who I prognosticated last week will score more touchdowns and

1074
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 1: teammate Calvin Ridley this year. Kyle Pitts in the third round.

1075
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 1: I've done it plenty. I'm not. I'm not. I'm going

1076
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 1: by what I say. The fourth round player I'm taking

1077
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 1: in the third round, Lamar Jackson. You know you talked

1078
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 1: two years ago, Matt about Chris Godwin. How about two

1079
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 1: years ago Lamar Jackson one league single handedly he was

1080
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 1: one of the best fantasy players ever, and that was

1081
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: just we're just one year removed from that. It could

1082
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: easily snap right back. He's he was not that that

1083
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: non functional last year. He was actually a pretty solid

1084
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 1: contributor most of the time. He just didn't have the

1085
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 1: gaudy passing numbers. And I know the receiver's hurt right now,

1086
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 1: but by the time the season gets here, his receiver

1087
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,479
Speaker 1: group will be back in shape. Sammy Watkins will be there,

1088
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 1: Marki's Brown will be healthy. Everybody of a bateman will

1089
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: be ready. To Roll. I think Lamar Jackson still got

1090
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: freaky upside and I want a piece of that as

1091
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: we continue our reach around Matt. Which fifth round player

1092
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 1: will you take in the fourth round? I've done this

1093
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 1: several times in my underdog drafts. It's Adam Theelan, who

1094
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,439
Speaker 1: has emerged as Kirk Cousin's favorite red zone threat even

1095
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 1: before Kyle Rudolph left the team, which is interesting. If healthy,

1096
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: his downside is probably a thousand yards and seven touchdowns,

1097
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 1: but his upside is plus and double digit scores. So

1098
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 1: I like Adam Thelan right there. All right, Bryant, who

1099
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 1: is your fifth round player you take in the fourth round?

1100
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm going with Cooper Cup, who was wide receiver five.

1101
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 1: That was with Jared Goff at quarterback who went off

1102
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 1: the rails last year for the Rams goth That is

1103
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 1: clear upgrade at quarterback this year for Cup with Matt

1104
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 1: Stafford coming into town. And you know, as long as

1105
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 1: Cup stays healthy, even when we're reaching around for him

1106
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 1: in the fourth round, this is a Steel with a

1107
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 1: healthy Cooper Cup. Alright. I also had Cooper Cup for

1108
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: many of the same reasons. That offense is going to

1109
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 1: be so much better and Cups gonna bounce back nicely.

1110
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 1: Let's go to round number six of our reach around.

1111
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 1: Matt who is the player the sixth round player you

1112
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 1: would take in the fifth round? Uh, it's justin air, bear,

1113
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 1: Come on, Yeah. I said he'd finish only behind Patrick

1114
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 1: Mahomes on last week's Peacock Off, and you can listen

1115
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 1: to that on any of your favorite podcast platforms, including

1116
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 1: iHeart Radio. So I better put my money where my

1117
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: mouth is and I better draft him in the fifth round. Okay, Brian,

1118
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: who is the sixth round player you are reaching four?

1119
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 1: And round five? I'm going with Denver's rookie running back

1120
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams, who I just think flat out beats out

1121
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon at some point this year, sort of has

1122
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 1: a head start already in training camp, Gordon has been

1123
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 1: a little dinged up, and uh, I kind of like

1124
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 1: this Denver offense. They have the pass catchers to keep

1125
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 1: defenses honest. The quarterback a little bit of a question mark,

1126
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 1: but maybe that means they just lean on the run

1127
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 1: game a little more. And I just really like what

1128
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 1: I've seen at Javonte Williams. Of course, he hasn't played

1129
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 1: in the pros yet, but I've seen enough of Melvin Gordon,

1130
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 1: so I'll take a chance on Javant in the fifth.

1131
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 1: I'm feeling better. I'm I'm starting to really vibe on

1132
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: the Denver offense, in part because starting to think Drew

1133
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 1: Lock might just be okay, and all I need is

1134
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 1: just like adequate quarterbacking yourself well a little bit. You know,

1135
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 1: he's looked he looked very good against the Vikings second

1136
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 1: and third stringers, and you know, granted that's not a

1137
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 1: great it's not a great way to judge, but um,

1138
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 1: the training camp reports have been largely positive, and it's

1139
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 1: not like quarterbacks never get better. We mentioned Josh Allen

1140
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: recently earlier in the show as a as an inaccurate

1141
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 1: passer who got a lot better. Drew Locks got room

1142
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: to get better if he doesn't like that offense a lot.

1143
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 1: But that's not my answer. The sixth round player I'm

1144
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 1: taking in the fifth round t J Hockenson. I'm thinkingna

1145
01:04:56,440 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 1: tear by himself after the big three tight ends. Then

1146
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 1: you've got Hockinson and then you've got everybody else. I

1147
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 1: know you you got pits significantly lower than I like

1148
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: Hockinson a lot I think he's way way safer than Pitts,

1149
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: who comes in with all the unknowns of a rookie player.

1150
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 1: Hockinson in his third year. That's blow up year for

1151
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 1: tight ends on a team that's gonna be trailing most

1152
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 1: of the time, needs to pass and has no functional receivers.

1153
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 1: Our reach around continues into the seventh round. Who is

1154
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 1: the player, who's the seventh round player, Matt you would

1155
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: take in the sixth round? I've got Courtland Sutton and

1156
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 1: last year he was being drafted in the third or

1157
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 1: fourth round. Yeah, he missed the whole season due to injury,

1158
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: but he's certainly a guy with that pedigree of a

1159
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 1: guy that you can take three rounds earlier. So I

1160
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 1: like Courtland Sutton and you guys just mentioned how you're

1161
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 1: starting to believe in the Denver Broncos offense a little bit,

1162
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 1: a little bit, all right, Brian, who's the seventh round

1163
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 1: player you'd take in the sixth round? I love me

1164
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 1: some Tyler Boyd, who is the cheapest of Cincinnati's three

1165
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 1: wide receivers when it comes to eight p right now.

1166
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: Boyd was wide receiver eight in the first half of

1167
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 1: the season last year with a healthy, Joe Burrow and

1168
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 1: Yester Mark Chase wasn't there, but Boyd and Burrow quicking

1169
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 1: last year together, I've been clicking in camp so far.

1170
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 1: I think he leaves uh the Cincinnati wide receivers in

1171
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 1: non production this year. The seventh round player I'm taking

1172
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 1: in the sixth round is Damien Harris, the Patriots running

1173
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:24,920
Speaker 1: back who is getting all the run with the first team. Um.

1174
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 1: He is coming off the field for third some third downs,

1175
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 1: and that's just who he is. I don't think he's

1176
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a PPR helper James White's territory, largely James

1177
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 1: White's territory and maybe others. But Harris has running hard

1178
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 1: and has looked good. And let's remember, as frustrating as

1179
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 1: running backs can be for the Patriots, they're only like

1180
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: two seasons removed from like Garrett Blunt having the most

1181
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns in the NFL. And Harris was the Patriots

1182
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 1: best player last year, like overall best offensive player for sure.

1183
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 1: You know that's that you can certainly make a case

1184
01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 1: for that. Now, obviously this year it's of Smith. Maybe

1185
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:02,800
Speaker 1: we'll talk more about him later. Let's move to the

1186
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 1: eighth round of our reach around. We're gonna go through

1187
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 1: ten rounds and let's pick up Matt with the eighth

1188
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 1: round player you would take in the seventh round. I

1189
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 1: got Robert tons of fun you in. Uh. He's been

1190
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 1: the standout in Packers camp so far, caught eleven touchdowns

1191
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 1: last season. Packers don't run the ball near the stripe

1192
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 1: nearly as much as they probably should, thus making Davante

1193
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 1: Adams and Robert tony In super valuable as you get

1194
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 1: closer and closer to the end zone. Makes sense, Brian,

1195
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: This the eighth round player you would take in the

1196
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 1: seventh round. The one Houston Texan I'm willing to roster

1197
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 1: this year is Brandon Cooks, and I take him in

1198
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 1: the seventh round. Uh. Really don't know what's gonna happen

1199
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 1: at quarterback in Houston. Looking like a Torod Taylor a

1200
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:47,040
Speaker 1: week one start. All I know is for Shawn Watson

1201
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 1: when the Feds are involved, I'm not looking too good

1202
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 1: for his prospects uh this year and beyond. But regardless

1203
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 1: of quarterback, Cooks will see a ton of volume in

1204
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 1: positive game scripts for wide receivers, that's for sure. I

1205
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 1: think eight catches twelve hundred yards is in the cards

1206
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 1: and he'll get you four or five six touchdowns as well.

1207
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: I'll take that in the seventh round. My reach around

1208
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:10,440
Speaker 1: player that I'm taking in the seventh round with an

1209
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 1: eighth round average draft position, Deebo Samuel. Why I don't

1210
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: understand why he would go this low. This is a

1211
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 1: very very promising offense and Deebo Samuels a special talent,

1212
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: so good after the catch and one of the one

1213
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:27,880
Speaker 1: of the Deebo Samuel stats that we have talked about

1214
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 1: on previous shows. He had the shortest average throw last

1215
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 1: year when it was Nick Mullins and c J. Bout third,

1216
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 1: and however his average depth of target average depth of

1217
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:42,240
Speaker 1: target was like three yards. It's going to stretch out

1218
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 1: this one way or another. It's going to be longer downfield.

1219
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 1: And Deebo Samuel is so strong and so special after

1220
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:52,599
Speaker 1: the catch that I believe he is sitting on a

1221
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 1: vastly superior season than the one he had last year.

1222
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:58,599
Speaker 1: His value being suppressed a great deal, I think just

1223
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 1: because of the injury and the bad quarterback play from

1224
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 1: last season. All right, let's go to the ninth round

1225
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,439
Speaker 1: of our reach around. Give me a ninth round player,

1226
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 1: you would take in the eighth round, Matt. Another guy

1227
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 1: I've done a lot of reaching on is Zack Moss.

1228
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 1: We've outlined it a few times. Moss is the best

1229
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 1: pure runner, pass blocker, and pass catcher on the Bill's roster,

1230
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 1: but he's getting that injury prone prone label. If healthy though,

1231
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 1: if healthy, maybe yeah, Zack Moss, let's go okay, yeah,

1232
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 1: I mean, for all the reasons Matt said and Josh

1233
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:34,559
Speaker 1: allen Kin succeeded the goal line, but they don't want

1234
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:37,840
Speaker 1: him to consistently take those hits. Zack Moss wasn't available

1235
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 1: to them to take this goal. He will be this year.

1236
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 1: He's gonna stay healthy, We're gonna be positive. Yeah, let's

1237
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:44,439
Speaker 1: let's hope that's the case. And you guys know, I'm

1238
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 1: I'm I'm camp Moss. I I want Zach to be great,

1239
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: but I'm taking a J. Dillon here because I feel

1240
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 1: I had to feel safer about a J. Dillon. And

1241
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 1: and here's why I know that this is a this

1242
01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,599
Speaker 1: is I know he's going to get carries because I

1243
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 1: know Aaron Jones isn't going to be a touchback. That's

1244
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 1: just not how they ever use him. So I know

1245
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 1: there is a sizeable role for a J. Dillon. I

1246
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:12,800
Speaker 1: want there to be a sizeable role for Zack Moss,

1247
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:14,640
Speaker 1: and there should be, but I can't tell you for

1248
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 1: certain there will be. A J. Dillon is the ninth

1249
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:20,760
Speaker 1: round player I would take in the tenth round. You're

1250
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,639
Speaker 1: going for safety with that pick instead of the upside. Yeah,

1251
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: that's what I like. When I'm reaching, I'm always going

1252
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,800
Speaker 1: for the upside. Let's move our reach around to the

1253
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 1: tenth round. Give me a tenth round player you would

1254
01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 1: take in the ninth round, Matt Jalen Waddle, Let's see

1255
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 1: who to His favorite wide receiver is probably his college

1256
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 1: teammate in the first round pick. It's not often you

1257
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:42,640
Speaker 1: see rookie wide receiver slide right into the top of

1258
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 1: the depth chart, especially with capable players surrounding him. So

1259
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:50,839
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle, he's impressed in camp, all right. Brian mentioned

1260
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 1: earlier in the show how Corey Davis has really been

1261
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:55,200
Speaker 1: clicking with Zach Wilson. So I would take him here

1262
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:57,840
Speaker 1: in the ninth round. Right now, going as all the

1263
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:00,680
Speaker 1: board at wide receiver wide receiver fifty, that's way too

1264
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: late for a guy who's going to command the most

1265
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:04,679
Speaker 1: targets on the team. I think, especially in the red zone.

1266
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 1: They just paid the guy a ton of money. I

1267
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 1: still like Corey Davis. The reach around player I'm gonna

1268
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,879
Speaker 1: take in the ninth round with the tenth round average

1269
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:17,200
Speaker 1: draft position is Tyler Higbee tight end for the Rams.

1270
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 1: Last year, if you combine to Gerald Everett and Tyler

1271
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 1: Higbee into one tight end, you had tight end five.

1272
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:26,639
Speaker 1: Gerald Everett is now in Seattle. Higby is basically running

1273
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 1: alone with tight ends and he'll be on the field way,

1274
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 1: way more than he ever has been before. I'm gonna

1275
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 1: try Tyler Higbee as that player that tight end. If

1276
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:38,639
Speaker 1: you slept that tight end position, I feel pretty confident

1277
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 1: about going to war with Tyler Higbee. Our final reach

1278
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 1: around round is the eleventh round player you had taken

1279
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:50,439
Speaker 1: the tenth round, Matt. I'm looking for that upside play again,

1280
01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 1: and I think the biggest upside in this round was

1281
01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 1: justin fields. Once he starts, his accuracy and elusiveness should

1282
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 1: make him one of the most dangerous players in the

1283
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:01,360
Speaker 1: league and could be just a Fantasy All Star for

1284
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:04,000
Speaker 1: the second half of the season. Brian, who is your

1285
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 1: eleventh round player you would take in the tenth round.

1286
01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 1: I'm going with Jamal Williams on now with the Detroit Lions. Uh.

1287
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: We talked about t J. Hockenson earlier. We're gonna talk

1288
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:14,919
Speaker 1: about the Detroit passing game later. But outside of Hackinson,

1289
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams might be the best receiver on that team.

1290
01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 1: And he certainly can handle running back duties, especially if

1291
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:23,479
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift goes down. He's already been a little banged

1292
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 1: up in camp already. I'm not convinced he can stay

1293
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 1: healthy whole season or be a workhorse for that matter.

1294
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:32,599
Speaker 1: I also at Justin Fields league winning upside if everything

1295
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:37,280
Speaker 1: breaks right for Justin Fields, if he can pass and throw. Yeah,

1296
01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 1: that's really really tempting, isn't That would be great? Well,

1297
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:44,200
Speaker 1: there you go. This year's reach around is in the books.

1298
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 1: When we come back our final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly,

1299
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:53,719
Speaker 1: including our sleepers for this week and the key teams

1300
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 1: with vacated targets an opportunity to fill in with a

1301
01:12:57,479 --> 01:13:01,880
Speaker 1: new player. Stay tuned. Final segment Fantasy Football Weekly coming

1302
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:33,880
Speaker 1: up next Final segment, Fantasy Football Weekly. If you've always

1303
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:36,080
Speaker 1: wanted to try and guillotine league, this is the time.

1304
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 1: Not only can you find publicly available guillotine leagues at

1305
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: guillotine leagues dot com. But if you've got friends who

1306
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:48,640
Speaker 1: want to play, we support guillotine leagues private leagues with

1307
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:53,000
Speaker 1: you and your friends anywhere from eight to eighteen teams. Now,

1308
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 1: if it's an eight team league, it will end at

1309
01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:58,679
Speaker 1: the end after week seven, there will be one team

1310
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 1: left and that will be the champion. And what some

1311
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:03,599
Speaker 1: people are doing they will redraft, then they will run

1312
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,639
Speaker 1: two leagues inside of one season. You can have run

1313
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:08,080
Speaker 1: a league and run league. You can do that with

1314
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: up to nine players. You could do an an eight

1315
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:15,040
Speaker 1: run run your guillotine league through week eight and then

1316
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 1: through nine through sixteen, and there you go. You've got

1317
01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:19,880
Speaker 1: you can have. You can have two winners in one year.

1318
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:24,200
Speaker 1: You never get that in a regular fantasy league, like

1319
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 1: kind of like, well you can win twice shop. Now,

1320
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:30,360
Speaker 1: going back to back would be very impressive, right because

1321
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 1: you'll redraft after the first one is over. If you

1322
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 1: could go back to back in that, I mean pretty impressive.

1323
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 1: Feat Yeah, game of skill, So yeah, you could do that. Uh,

1324
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:43,680
Speaker 1: let's talk about vacated targets. Brian, I asked you to

1325
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 1: come give me the teams that have the most vacated targets,

1326
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:49,439
Speaker 1: so we can try to identify some players who maybe

1327
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 1: haven't really performed at the level that we want. But

1328
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:55,440
Speaker 1: because there's so many now, there's so many available receptions

1329
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 1: that we think there's room, there's a vacuum for these

1330
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 1: police new players to come in. Yeah, definitely, uh, And

1331
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:05,799
Speaker 1: we're gonna start with Detroit who has the most vacated

1332
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 1: targets more because yeah, like history of the game, and

1333
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they had a prior knowledge of

1334
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:15,000
Speaker 1: Jared Goff coming to town. So they all feed, right,

1335
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 1: But those guys are Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones, Danny Ammondola,

1336
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:23,040
Speaker 1: all on new teams. They accounted for three hundred and

1337
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 1: sixty two of the lions five hundred and sixty two

1338
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:28,920
Speaker 1: pass attempts last year. They have all left town. That

1339
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 1: was also almost seventy three of Detroit's air yards gone,

1340
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 1: so a lot of opportunity for some new faces in Detroit.

1341
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 1: I want to mention of the targets from inside the

1342
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:46,640
Speaker 1: ten yard line for Detroit also gone. That's now the

1343
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 1: question then, is all right, so other than t J.

1344
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:52,439
Speaker 1: Hawkins love and we think he's gonna he's sitting on

1345
01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:55,959
Speaker 1: a big year. Who are the players that could potentially

1346
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:58,559
Speaker 1: fill that void? Now? Earlier in the show, we made

1347
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:02,240
Speaker 1: passing reference the fact that Tyroll Williams appears to be

1348
01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:06,160
Speaker 1: the leading receiver there. Um, we know what Brishod Perraman

1349
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:08,559
Speaker 1: is all about, and that's you know, the occasional deep bombs.

1350
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,200
Speaker 1: So you know we're gonna you watch when we're doing

1351
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 1: our um or take a chance of me receivers. We're

1352
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 1: gonna be sprinkling in some Brashot Perriman from time to time.

1353
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 1: I think, um, and maybe a little Tyroll Williams. Some

1354
01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 1: people think I'm on ras St Brown is going to

1355
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,800
Speaker 1: be a number one receiver for that team before long.

1356
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 1: He's got fish is one of them, man ross St.

1357
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:32,360
Speaker 1: Brown has the highest a d P among the wide

1358
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 1: receivers right now at wide receiver seventy two. Tyrell Williams,

1359
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:38,479
Speaker 1: who you said, as of late, looks like the number

1360
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:42,240
Speaker 1: one wide receiver in camp. Again, Hockinson, we expect to

1361
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:46,320
Speaker 1: be leading just receiver overall. And then Brashod Perriman, who

1362
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 1: definitely showed flashes late with the Bucks in ten at

1363
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:53,560
Speaker 1: a Monster got him a big contract one year with

1364
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:55,720
Speaker 1: the Jets, and he had some decent games for the

1365
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 1: Jets last year. So, like you said, I don't know

1366
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 1: who to reckon, and out of these guys, would almost

1367
01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: go with the cheapest one. Tyroll Williams has looked great

1368
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:06,679
Speaker 1: at times, but there haven't been a lot of those times.

1369
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:10,120
Speaker 1: He's always hurt. But then again, he has left the

1370
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 1: Chargers who are kind of cursed at wide receiver. It

1371
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 1: seems like with injuries almost I want to put more

1372
01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:18,799
Speaker 1: bad juju on them with Keenan Allen and Mike Williams

1373
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:21,920
Speaker 1: already hurt. But I don't know. But like you said,

1374
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:24,280
Speaker 1: it's really all about T G. T J. Hockenson. But

1375
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:26,720
Speaker 1: someone's gonna have to step up at wide receiver, and

1376
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna be rookie. I'm on

1377
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 1: Russ st Brown and one other guy is Quintez cifis

1378
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,320
Speaker 1: a long shot receiver. But we just have to see

1379
01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:38,479
Speaker 1: how this plays out. But again, nearly six of the

1380
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:41,479
Speaker 1: targets vacated for Detroit and a new quarterback in Jared Goff.

1381
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:44,439
Speaker 1: It'll it'll be interesting to see how that shakes out.

1382
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:47,880
Speaker 1: Give me the second the team, the number two team,

1383
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 1: with the most vacated targets. The Tennessee Tightens with nearly

1384
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:54,840
Speaker 1: thirty four percent of their targets vacated. Corey Davis gone,

1385
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 1: Adam Humphreys gone, and your boy, of course, John hu

1386
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:02,000
Speaker 1: John Hu Smith gone. That those guys accounted for over

1387
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:04,640
Speaker 1: twenty one air yards from the Titans last year. That

1388
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:09,240
Speaker 1: was nearly of their air yards. And the guys who

1389
01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:11,720
Speaker 1: came in at first, he was just Josh Reynolds, and

1390
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 1: we're like, okay, it's Anthony ferlks or season and Josh

1391
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:17,200
Speaker 1: Reynolds is something and a Brown is my number one

1392
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:20,000
Speaker 1: at that moment, were like two hundred targets for a

1393
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:23,439
Speaker 1: j Brown in the bank. Uh. Of course the Titans

1394
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:26,720
Speaker 1: traded for Julio Jones, who comes in, who I do

1395
01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 1: not hate, by the way, if you listen to last

1396
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:33,400
Speaker 1: week's show, I hate his red zone usage or lack

1397
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:38,480
Speaker 1: thereof throughout his career with the Falcons. But the Titans, Uh,

1398
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:41,680
Speaker 1: with those players I mentioned, Uh, four d eighty five

1399
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:46,880
Speaker 1: targets gone, fifteen vacated targets inside the ten yard line. Um,

1400
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm just not excited about Josh Reynolds. Now that the

1401
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 1: it's really a matter of how much is Julio going

1402
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:58,640
Speaker 1: to take from A. J. Brown's supposed leap into superstardom

1403
01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 1: this year? And I still love a J. Brown. He's

1404
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 1: still like my number five wide receiver. Um. But and

1405
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: and I think Julio Jones may actually make A J.

1406
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 1: Brown more consistent than he might have been otherwise, because

1407
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 1: when he was all alone, I figured there were gonna

1408
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 1: be some teams that would just like triple Team A J. Brown.

1409
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:21,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna brown and right and just somebody else's game

1410
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:24,960
Speaker 1: make Anthony Firkser beat us right. Well, I can't wait

1411
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:27,000
Speaker 1: just to see if it was an Atlanta thing with

1412
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 1: the Julio red zone end zone usage, because again up

1413
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:34,719
Speaker 1: for grabs for Tennessee this year, and Wholi has the size,

1414
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 1: he has the skill, so I hope they utilize him

1415
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:40,519
Speaker 1: a lot more. In the what's the number three team

1416
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 1: with the most vacated targets? The New Orleans Saints Emmanuel

1417
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:46,840
Speaker 1: Sanders and Jared Cook have left town. That opens up

1418
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 1: nearly eleven targets per game for the Saints, and you're

1419
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:53,679
Speaker 1: not even counting Michael Thomas's got that. Of course, Eddie

1420
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:57,040
Speaker 1: targets intended from Michael Thomas are essentially vacated for at

1421
01:19:57,080 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 1: least the first four to six weeks of the red

1422
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 1: other seasons, so a lot of opportunity in New Orleans.

1423
01:20:03,439 --> 01:20:06,439
Speaker 1: We're looking at guys and they haven't brought in anybody yet.

1424
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 1: They're they're looking at Trey Kwon Smith, Marquez Callaway, Will Jordan,

1425
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:16,639
Speaker 1: Humphrey best name in the NFL by the Will Jordan

1426
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 1: loved that. Some think Adam Troutman is a sleeper tight end,

1427
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 1: but uh again, right now, let's talk about Michael Thomas.

1428
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 1: Let's go back there, wide receiver forty four right now,

1429
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:28,599
Speaker 1: And I mean, are you yeah, that's like round eight,

1430
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:30,880
Speaker 1: round nine? Are you You're gonna have to sit on

1431
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:34,080
Speaker 1: them for a while, But it all depends all depends

1432
01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 1: on the size of your bench, and it could be

1433
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:37,639
Speaker 1: all year. I mean, you know, we don't even know

1434
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 1: are they even speaking terms at that point? And the

1435
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:45,120
Speaker 1: Saints might be bad this year, they might be really

1436
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 1: really bad. There was no TI. I feel like there's

1437
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 1: no team that is that is more safe to bet.

1438
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:53,519
Speaker 1: The underwind total on the wind total on them is

1439
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:56,679
Speaker 1: still nine. Yeah, there, that is the most safe under

1440
01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:59,599
Speaker 1: wind total in the NFL. I agree let's get negative

1441
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:02,839
Speaker 1: some money. I saw Terrell Owens and he was adamant

1442
01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:04,760
Speaker 1: about it, says he can still play. Of course he's

1443
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:08,280
Speaker 1: seven years old. Let's go Saints. It's no better place

1444
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:10,680
Speaker 1: for Terrell Owens, who attended to come back the New

1445
01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:14,360
Speaker 1: Orleans or right now Mark has Callaway. Uh, it looks

1446
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 1: like the favorite to be the You know that I'm

1447
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 1: more on the tray Kwan Smith, especially in best Ball

1448
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 1: he has those spike weeks, So I'm more on board

1449
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:24,760
Speaker 1: with the tray Kuwans with Smith. But a lot of

1450
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 1: vacated targets in New Orleans. Will see how those get

1451
01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:32,040
Speaker 1: spread around. And Uh. Lastly, the Atlanta Falcons lost Julio,

1452
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: of course, uh, and a fair amount of targets lost

1453
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:38,719
Speaker 1: from Todd Gurley, Brian Hill, and Edo Smith nearly eighty

1454
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 1: targets there. Uh so after Jones was shipped to the Titans. UH,

1455
01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:46,719
Speaker 1: two d and thirteen total vacated targets for Atlanta nearly

1456
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 1: twelve hundred are yards. Uh, more than a quarter of

1457
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:53,920
Speaker 1: Atlanta's targets inside the ten, even though none of those

1458
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 1: went to Julio. Those were all really the running backs

1459
01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 1: that I had mentioned. Uh. But this is all going

1460
01:21:59,920 --> 01:22:01,880
Speaker 1: to act to Kyle Pitts. That's all that matters. The

1461
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 1: only player coming in is Kyle Pitts. Last year, Atlanta

1462
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:09,679
Speaker 1: was fourth in past attempts, fifth in passing yards. Earlier

1463
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:11,880
Speaker 1: in the show, I mentioned the targets from inside the

1464
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 1: ten yard line where guys like Russell Gauge, Hayden Hurst,

1465
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:18,200
Speaker 1: Lakwan Treadwell we're having success. Pitts is going to command

1466
01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 1: those targets all over the place. Predicts a minimum of

1467
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 1: twenty targets for Pitts. You can laugh now, Church. He's

1468
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:29,200
Speaker 1: going to have a splash flat factor of a Randy

1469
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 1: Moss or a Megatron. He's that much of a freak athlete.

1470
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 1: So I hope you're right, brian On. In all of

1471
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 1: your leagues this year in the flex position, what percentage

1472
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 1: will be tight ends this year? Um, because I feel

1473
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:46,360
Speaker 1: like it's about percent for you. And I mean, you know,

1474
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:52,680
Speaker 1: Dan will just starter Darren wall Darren Waller and then

1475
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 1: he's going to flex in a third tight end and

1476
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:58,360
Speaker 1: it'll be over two thirds of my team. Arnold is

1477
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:01,800
Speaker 1: the third tight end draft, but we'll utilize him. But no,

1478
01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:04,599
Speaker 1: I've got Waller and Pitts. I've been going second round

1479
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:10,120
Speaker 1: waller pits in the third all day long like those

1480
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:12,800
Speaker 1: It's insane. I'm all in. But let's let's get to

1481
01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 1: our sleepers. Are you done? Are you done with this?

1482
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 1: Think we're going to be a ten? Just mentioned a

1483
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:19,960
Speaker 1: couple of lone players who left. That might open up

1484
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:23,040
Speaker 1: some opportunities on some teams. Will Fuller leaving Houston, so

1485
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:27,799
Speaker 1: some people like Nico Collins the draft and Nelson Agile

1486
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:31,320
Speaker 1: are leaving Las Vegas. He saw a decent amount targets

1487
01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:33,960
Speaker 1: had seven eight touchdowns. A lot of people excited about

1488
01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:37,320
Speaker 1: Brian Edwards for the Raiders this year, but Hunter Renfro

1489
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:41,800
Speaker 1: was supposedly flaming Jalen Ramsey and joined Ramsey did not

1490
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:44,719
Speaker 1: agree with that assessment. Sure you getting interested to know? Yeah,

1491
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:47,200
Speaker 1: So we'll we'll leave that up to you know, maybe

1492
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:49,720
Speaker 1: a third party. Jalen Ramsey might be falling off that

1493
01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:54,200
Speaker 1: Josh Norman Cliff remember when that happened him on Quick

1494
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 1: It does come fast for for cornerbacks. Let's get to

1495
01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:00,719
Speaker 1: our three sleepers of the week, beginning with Matt Harrison,

1496
01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 1: who is yours this week? Terrorists Marshall a junior UH

1497
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 1: six pounds, the biggest of the rookie wide receiver Blue

1498
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:14,200
Speaker 1: Chippers played for offensive coordinator Joe Brady at L s U,

1499
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:17,200
Speaker 1: the same school that produced Justin Jefferson last season, and

1500
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,080
Speaker 1: by the way, Terris Marshall did not drop a single

1501
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:22,760
Speaker 1: pass in the red zone at L s U. Has

1502
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:25,559
Speaker 1: had some highlight reel catches in joint practices with the

1503
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:28,840
Speaker 1: Colts and Ravens already especially looking good with the high

1504
01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:33,080
Speaker 1: pointing and contested catches. He's also the only rookie wide

1505
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:36,160
Speaker 1: receiver with two catches of twenty plus yards so far

1506
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:38,880
Speaker 1: in the preseason, including a fifty nine yard or on

1507
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 1: his first drive. Robby Anderson already dealing with a hamstring injury,

1508
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 1: and those are Naggy and Curtis Samuel's vacated targets. Uh.

1509
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:51,680
Speaker 1: That makes Terris Marshall one of my favorite plays. It

1510
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:56,640
Speaker 1: was one year ago today when I unveiled John U

1511
01:24:56,760 --> 01:25:01,320
Speaker 1: Johnu as my sleeper of the year, and for five

1512
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:06,080
Speaker 1: weeks I looked brilliant. He was five touchdowns in five weeks.

1513
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:12,800
Speaker 1: He was the highest scoring tight end in many formats, right,

1514
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:16,479
Speaker 1: it was all it all was brilliant for five weeks,

1515
01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:18,599
Speaker 1: and then he sprained his ankle, and they treated him

1516
01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:21,160
Speaker 1: like a blocking tight end for the rest of the year.

1517
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:26,200
Speaker 1: Now he goes to the Patriots and for about five hours,

1518
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 1: John U John Wu looked like he was going to

1519
01:25:29,240 --> 01:25:31,400
Speaker 1: go right back to the same level of love that

1520
01:25:31,479 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 1: I had for him, maybe even more then they put in.

1521
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:37,320
Speaker 1: Then they signed Hunter Henry, and the people just basically

1522
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:41,360
Speaker 1: wrote off John U Johnu. His average draft position right

1523
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:45,599
Speaker 1: now is round fourteen. That is too low for the

1524
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:49,479
Speaker 1: best receiver on the team and the best athlete on

1525
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Josh McDaniels is lining him, lining him up

1526
01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 1: all over the field, including it running back, which I

1527
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:58,800
Speaker 1: love UM. And I think I mentioned this in a

1528
01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:04,000
Speaker 1: previous show. Here's Bill Belichick one year before signing John

1529
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:06,000
Speaker 1: U Smith when they were they were meeting for a

1530
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 1: playoff game, and Belichick said this about John Nu Smith,

1531
01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:13,719
Speaker 1: then he's probably the best in the league. After the catch,

1532
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:18,240
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is gonna use Johnu big time. Are you

1533
01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:23,320
Speaker 1: afraid of all your Damien Harris Sharrees losing out running back?

1534
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:26,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind if he gives up a couple of games,

1535
01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:29,600
Speaker 1: a couple of each game to John U john U Um.

1536
01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:32,880
Speaker 1: He played not in the Thursday night game. He rested

1537
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:35,400
Speaker 1: for the Thursday night game. Week before that, he had

1538
01:26:35,400 --> 01:26:38,840
Speaker 1: a crossing reception he broke. He broke two tackles on

1539
01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:40,680
Speaker 1: the play and look fantastic. It's only one play. But

1540
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:43,880
Speaker 1: I don't care. John john my sleeper the week, Brian,

1541
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:47,599
Speaker 1: who was yours. I'm going a little deeper with Tyron

1542
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:50,360
Speaker 1: Johnson wide receiver for the Chargers right now. It looks

1543
01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 1: like he'll win the third wide receiver job. But Williams

1544
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:57,360
Speaker 1: always hurt for l A, it seems, and under performing.

1545
01:26:57,400 --> 01:26:59,519
Speaker 1: Are they converting him to a tight end though, Brian,

1546
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:02,760
Speaker 1: not yet. No. They got Donald Paramatta and we talked

1547
01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:05,759
Speaker 1: about him. But Tyron Johnson, undrafted free agent, has scored

1548
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:09,400
Speaker 1: a touchdown on his first touch for every team he's

1549
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 1: played for US since twelve years old, and that includes

1550
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:15,120
Speaker 1: that the Chargers last year. His first catch? Are you serious?

1551
01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:17,800
Speaker 1: The first That's weird. That's what the Internet tells me.

1552
01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 1: I did some fact checking on that, but uh, John

1553
01:27:20,360 --> 01:27:24,000
Speaker 1: got his peewee football stats. Not a ton of opportunity

1554
01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:26,800
Speaker 1: last year, only at twenty catches, but four hundred yards

1555
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:29,560
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns on those twenty catches. We played the

1556
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:33,479
Speaker 1: extrapolation game, he gets the opportunity. We're talking big time.

1557
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:36,720
Speaker 1: Numbers are a definite dynasty status right now. If you

1558
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:38,880
Speaker 1: got spot on your oster or no, if someone you

1559
01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:40,960
Speaker 1: want to keep an eye on Mike Williams doesn't pan out,

1560
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:43,920
Speaker 1: Tyron Johnson is sitting. He's sitting to take that spot

1561
01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:47,640
Speaker 1: either through injury or incompetence on Williams park. That's that

1562
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:50,719
Speaker 1: people love Williams right now, and he's getting He's getting

1563
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:53,559
Speaker 1: drafted aggressively by people who just want a piece of

1564
01:27:53,560 --> 01:28:00,280
Speaker 1: that Chargers offensive, justin Herbert, which I can understand know's

1565
01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:03,240
Speaker 1: not being drafted aggressively or maybe too aggressively for us

1566
01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:07,040
Speaker 1: our taste. Se Kwon Barkley, where give me the spot

1567
01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:10,400
Speaker 1: you take se Kwon Barkley quickly in a guillotine league,

1568
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:13,800
Speaker 1: not at all. Okay. In a regular league, probably mid

1569
01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:18,120
Speaker 1: second round, okay. I Darren Waller will be available in

1570
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:20,799
Speaker 1: the second one if Barkley is there, I'm taking Waller

1571
01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 1: over Barkley. So I'm just not taking Barkley. Someone else's

1572
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:24,920
Speaker 1: gonna take them before I do. Third, probably the third

1573
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:27,280
Speaker 1: round for me in most league. Thank you for listening
