WEBVTT - Reach-A-Round 0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:04.080 Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio. 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:10.440 Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio, 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:15.240 your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. 0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:24.040 Now from Guillotine Leagues dot com. Here's your host. Welcome 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:26.640 to another edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:30.440 Shargi in my co host today, like last week, Brian 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:36.080 Johnson Guillotine Leagues dot Com and Matt Harrison's Shock Fantasy. Yeah, 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:39.600 where do you shocked? Where do you deliver the shocks? 0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:44.959 And that's what I want. I'll get my mind out 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.720 of the gun. Thank you. I appreciate that. Lots of 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:50.400 great stuff. I'm speaking of the gutter. Lots of great 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.840 stuff coming up in this show, and from the gutter, 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:57.360 from the gutter, like the stinkhole. Oh no, the stinkhol 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.760 What to do? Well, this is the gutters, this is 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.880 the really is. We're gonna get there and stay there 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:09.200 with the shock and the stinkhole is we believe Pick five, 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.000 We're going to tell you what to do. We think 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.120 the first four picks are pretty obvious in most leagues, 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.640 and the same four players are predominantly going in the 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:18.759 first four picks. But what do you do with picks 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:20.400 five through twelve. We'll tell you a little later in 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:25.280 the show when we venture into the stinkhole and beyond. 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:29.520 And you've been working on that radio voice. I was 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.080 practiced on that a little bit. Well, identify the bell 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:36.399 cow runners around the league. We'll talk about the teams 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:40.920 that have the most vacated targets, so there's some opportunities 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:46.000 to find an up and coming player. And then perhaps 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:50.640 the annual highlight of the preseason of Fantasy Football Weekly, 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:56.240 the reach around. Yes, we will be providing a player 0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:00.520 upon whom you can reach a round on in every 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.840 round of your draft. We used to do this at 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.000 the live training Camp event, which unfortunately we're not doing 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.440 this year. But there's nothing better than doing reach arounds 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:14.480 in front of That was absolutely true. Sometimes sometimes you 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.840 gotta pay to see stuff like that. It was free. 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:20.760 But first we do a quick zip around the NFL 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:24.040 training camps preseason games and find out what you may 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.560 have missed, what are the big stories for each team, 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:30.520 Beginning with the Carolina Panthers. Matt practicing against the Ravens 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.480 this week, and the offensive line is very messy for 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.600 the Panthers. Taylor Moten, who is the normal right tackle, 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.360 getting reps at left tackle since Cameron Irving is out, 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:42.520 and mixing and matching the old line is always just 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:46.400 a really great sign for everybody. They also signed Markel Harrel, 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.240 who was recently cut by the Raiders to the offensive line. 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.919 There influx a little bit there. Bad offensive line anyway, 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.400 and now reason to think, you know, it could potentially 0:02:55.400 --> 0:03:00.440 be the worst in the league. Let's go to the Raiders, right, 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.600 Let's go to Las Vegas. Sounds good to me, where 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:06.360 Darren Waller has returned to practice. Hollylujah. That's that's pretty 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.600 much the biggest news coming out of Las Vegas this 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:10.760 past week. All right, I'll go to Green Bay, where 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.720 I have several injury updates. After playing well last week, 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:15.760 Jordan Loves shoulder injury is going to keep him out 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.280 of this weekend's preseason game and maybe longer than that. 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.520 Aaron Rodgers returned to practice after missing sometimes so good 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.040 news there. A j Dillon nursing a calf injury but 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.639 should be back soon. And non injury news from the Packers. 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:31.440 Robert Tounyon continuing to get rave reviews and he keeps 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.480 inching up every week. I move him up as spot 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.360 or two on my rankings. He could be sitting on 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.120 a really nice season. Let's go to the Washington football 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:44.160 team at UH seventh round. Rookie wide receiver Des Milne 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.720 is drawing praise from Ron River and Camp, calling him 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.440 a great route runner with good size. Had a decent 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.120 showing in the preseason opener, which included a nice punt return. 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.560 You know, coaches love those guys who can chip in 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.760 on special teams too. He's got a chance to be 0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:00.440 a third or fourth wide receiver there in Washington. All right, Brian, 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.440 let's go to Buffalo. I am very excited about this, 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.240 and you are as a well charged. I can only 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.840 imagine Zack Moss returned to practice. I'm glad and yes, 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:11.600 and he's gonna be my RB one when I take 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:16.279 down our Empire League this year fellas spanking Houston Texans. 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.359 The Athletic reporters say that Philip Lindsay could lead the 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.840 team and carries, and if you recall a couple of 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.400 weeks ago, we mentioned that their first depth chart that 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.200 they published had Philip Lindsay and mark ingram is co 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.200 starters and were like, what, but that might actually be 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.960 the case. I noticed on Underdogs a DP this week 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.360 that Lindsay is now one above David David Johnson, and 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.520 I think that is appropriately so. And David David Johnson's 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:45.400 looking like this is a real danger for him, and 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.640 then Tyrod Taylor Peter should be headed for the team's 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:51.760 Week one starter role. Let's head over to the Tampa 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:55.400 Bay Buccaneers. Matt Antonio Brown got thrown out of practice 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.960 after ripping off the helmet and punching Titans corner Chris 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:04.839 Jackson during joint practices. Fiery competitor, competitor or psycho, you 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:08.360 be the judge. I think we already know Cleveland Browns Brian. 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.640 We all know O b J in Cleveland, right, but 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:15.560 we need to get to know d j P. Donovan 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.440 People's Jones, who has been lighting up camp. He said, 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:23.080 d j P d p J. I'll see if you guys, 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.000 I knew I was gonna mess it up. D p 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:30.360 J Donovan, Donovan Jones, People's People's Jones. Something j P 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:37.360 and jelly donut donut donuts sounds. We'll work this out. 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:41.440 We'll work shop this off. D p J has looked great. Uh. 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.960 Last year he was the twenty five wide receiver taken 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.719 in one of the deepest rookie classes. Uh. He finished 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.840 fourth in that class, though an average yards per route 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.800 run showed some flashes late after oh b J went down. 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.880 During weeks thirteen through fifteen, d p J posted the 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.799 second most yard John throws twenty plus yards down field. 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.360 He's gonna be the third wide receiver for the Browns. 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:09.279 Looking good. Indianapolis Star beat writer Jim I yellow after 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.719 sniping me one pick before, I was going to take 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:15.440 Paris Campbell, took Paris Campbell, and then after he took 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:19.880 him told me that no receiver in camp has gotten 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:25.719 more consistent separation then Paris Campbell. Good job, Jim. His 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.920 speed has returned, as well as evidence by his long 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:32.600 reception in the first preseason game. Uh. Remember in Campbell's 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.440 one full game last year, he only got one because 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.840 that's how. That's how. Paris Campbell rolls six catches seventy 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.080 one yards and he rushed for nine more yards. On 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.880 top of that, He's a freakish athlete and a nice sleeper. 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.520 That sounds like insider drafting from my yellow is that 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.040 is that allowed to Uh? He just did it to me. 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.240 The Detroit Lions matt uh Dan Campbell called himself an 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.400 a hole after cutting long snapper Don Muhlbach on his 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:01.839 forty birthday. But in all serious Tyrrell Williams appears to 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.080 be the top wide receiver on the depth chart as 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.279 of now, and he's probably worth a late round flyer 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.680 in most leagues. Let's go to the Jets. Zack Wilson 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.240 and Corey Davis have been clicking as of late. Right now, 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.280 Corey Davis is going off the board roughly around wide 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.680 receiver fifty. Yeah, it seems a little late for a 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.160 guy they just paid a lot of money too, and 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.360 it's probably gonna get leaned on heavily by the rookie 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:25.040 quarterback in New Jersey. I keep talking about the Chief's 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.240 offensive line partly because it was the team's biggest storyline 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.920 in the off season, but also because it's constantly in flux. 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:36.320 As it stands right now today, the five starters across 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:42.120 the Chief's offensive line have combined zero NFL snaps as 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.360 a member of the Chiefs. Three of them have zero 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:49.960 snaps in their NFL careers. So there's Orlando Brown, who 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.440 was the left tackle. He was in Baltimore before. Left 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.320 guard Joe Thuney was in New England before, but then 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.000 after that, it's all disaster. Right now, You're starting center 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.480 is Creed Humphrey, Your rookie, your right guardist Ray Smith. 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:05.480 The rookie and sophomore right tackle Lucas Niang has never 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:09.240 played an NFL snap. This bears watching. Much of our 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.280 optimism for the Chiefs being better than last year has 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.840 been built on that offensive line. Next up, the Seattle Seahawks. 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.800 Rookie wide receiver Dwyane Eskridge came off the pub earlier 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:23.120 this week and Russell Wilson's helping him catch up. They've 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.480 completed some early morning workouts and he's likely the third 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:30.240 wide receiver on the depth chart behind metcalf Ande, Lockett, Okay, 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:34.640 Brian Broncos, Melvin Gordon back in action uh. He has 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:38.079 missed most of the preseason with a minor growing injury. UH. 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.640 Javonte Williams kind of a little bit of a head 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.560 start there. I think we all like him to win 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.160 that job in Denver. But Gordon is officially back in 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:48.400 the mix, and that are running back competition. Xavier Jones 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.320 has emerged as the second running back for the Rams, 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.520 and he's likely to get work in the regular season 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.120 as the second running back as well. He he got 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.160 to start for the Rams in the first preseason game. 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.199 He's known for his past catch and he caught three 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.600 balls in that preseason game. And I think he's gonna 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:07.280 chip in through the air that way. And remember from 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:09.640 a couple of shows ago, Sean McVeigh said that he 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.800 wants to be careful about not over using Darryl Henderson, 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.160 and so there's going to be some extra usage to 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:17.880 be had here and right now it looks like it. 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:23.560 Xavier Jones next up the Philadelphia Eagle. Yeah, Philly arrested 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:27.719 almost everyone in their Thursday night preseason loss to the Patriots. 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.360 They lost thirty five nothing. So the lone bright spot 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:34.720 was Davanta Smith getting constant, constant separation from the Pats 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:38.800 defensive backs. Noted uh Jalen Hurts missed the game, went 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.839 to the hospital with the stomach infection. He's gonna be 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.880 out for a few days this week. Okay. Miami Dolphins 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:48.000 Brian concerns that will be a running back by committee, 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:51.960 concerns really for Miles gask and truths, like myself, a 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:56.760 committee with Malcolm Brown and uh, sal sal Salvin, I 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.719 forgot it's for his name, Salvi. Um, I'm not to 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.079 Malcolm Brown. Two carries inside the ten in the first 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.760 preseason game, stuffed on both. I think they're more like 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.880 goal line carries. I'm weathering the storm with Miles Gas. 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.320 He will be the lead back for the Dolphins, but 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.439 we might be looking at a committee. But Gaskin is 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.440 still the favorite in my mind. And Malcolm Brown got 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.640 a lot of usage that I didn't want to see. Yeah, 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:21.160 but he did not do very well. Uh in those attempts. 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:25.040 Nobody ever wants to see Malcolm Brown. No, that's probably true, 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.400 um Vikings. We've already detailed their offensive line woes and 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:30.160 back to back shows, which should really be the big 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.000 story here, and that you need to be tracking. But 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.800 I'll also mention that Justin Jefferson returned to practice and 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.160 there's basically no doubt he will be ready for the 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.400 start of the season. Philadelphia Eagles Matt I already did Philly, 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:43.520 so I'm gonna do Dallas. Dallas Cowboys. Matt Zeke slimmed 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.160 down this offseason in an effort to be more explosive 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.079 than durable. And he was quoted earlier this week that 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.000 he thinks that the Bell cow running back is dead 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.640 and that the quality of his runs are more important 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.480 than the quantity. So Zeke might just be reacting to 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.400 Tony Pollard being a better back and saying, man, I 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.640 gotta get these right ahead of the storyline a little bit. 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.520 Let's go to the Patriots. Yeah, the Patriots who just 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.559 played the Eagles on Thursday night, and everyone looked great 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:15.520 for New England getting Damien Harrison, Stevenson looked great again 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.320 and now J J. Taylor running back that has also 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:22.120 garnered some attention in the fantasy community. So maybe there's 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.160 some there's some assets on the New England Patriots. But 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:27.400 everyone's gonna look good against the Eagles this year. It's 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:31.600 a team that you'll be circling. Uh, Damien Harris should 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.120 be going higher than he is just getting, you know, consistently, 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.960 in back to back games, he has gotten the basically 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.480 all of the meaningful rushing work with the first team offense. 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:43.280 Rare Stevenson does not concern you though he looks. He 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.559 does not concern me beating up third string defenses yet. 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:48.640 But he does look very good, and I like that 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:50.120 they brought him in and what was it maybe the 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.320 late second quarter for that touchdown run on Thursday night. Well, 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.040 Harris was beating second string. Well, the Eagles are just 0:11:56.360 --> 0:12:00.840 eternally third string, but anyway the same, Okay. The Sades 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.840 have a constantly influx set of receivers and let's just 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.840 detail where they are in some updates Michael Thomas ahead 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.679 of schedule per Sean Payton. Trey Kwon Smith returned to 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:13.120 practice after missing time with an unspecified injury. He should 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:16.600 be the team's top receiver in the preseason opener. Marcus 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:20.400 Callaway shined in last week's preseason game and he's drawn 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.280 positive reviews in camp. He will be the other starter 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.160 in week one. And just a quick quarterback updates as 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:29.080 Taysom Hill and Jamis Winston battle here. Taysom Hill started 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:33.600 last week's preseason game, looked inconsistent through three series. Jamis 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:35.760 Winston came in for five series. I thought he looked 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.240 a little better and he had two touchdown drives. We 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.360 do expect Winston to run the first team offense on 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.600 Monday night and we'll know more. Then. Let's go to 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:46.720 the New York Giants. Man, there's not a lot in 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:52.880 Giants Land, but Austrian running back Sandral platz Gumer. Oh God, 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:54.760 I love that name. Yeah. I had a forty eight 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.240 yard run in the preseason game against the Jets last week, 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:01.040 and I just wanted an opportunity to say Sandro platz 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.520 Gumer twice in a show. And let's go to the Titans. 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.520 I meant to tell you before we started recording that 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.360 the Titans have no important news coming in their camp 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.240 right now, so nothing to talk about their The Steelers 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.560 Chase Claypool suffered to minor ankle sprain and will miss 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.800 some time. He is expected, though, to be available for 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:24.400 Week one. Let's go to the Falcons. When Dolphins safety 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.480 Eric Rowe keeps praise on Kyle Pitts, it's time to 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.280 listen a little bit. He said of Pitts, he's long, 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.320 he's strong, and he's about to get the friction on. No, 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.840 that's not really it. That was uh somebody else. Well 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.800 that's partially true, though. Roe did say that he believed 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.720 Pitts would cause problems for defenses this year. All right, 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.040 and Cincinnati Bryan not a lot of news coming out 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:47.760 of since he either, But that's kind of what you 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.960 want right now. We don't want to hear anything bad 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:53.160 about Joe Burrow or Joe Mixon, probably the most boomer 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.120 bust offense and fantasy football from Burrow to mix in 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.160 the Cincinnati Bengals. Our goal it set to see what happens. 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:00.880 Ever it as of right now, all is quiet on 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:04.800 the Midwestern front. In San Francisco, Trey Lance looked inconsistent 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.920 in his first NFL preseason game last week. He had 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.680 that beautiful deep bomb that you probably saw the Trent SuField, 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.200 but he also badly misfired and several other passes and 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.720 got sacked four times. Meanwhile, Jimmy Garoppolo went three for 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.640 three in his loan drive. Several starters did not play 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.400 in that game, including Raheem Mostard, who, by the way, 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.960 being badly overlooked. I think in Fantasy League he's You're 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:29.160 starting running back on a very good offense. Um, we'll 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.280 get another look at the Niners on Sunday night and 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:32.880 we'll learn a little bit more about Trey Lance into 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.440 Jimmy Garoppolo. At the time Arizona Cardinals. Matt, did you 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.880 say Austria Cardinals, Because I learned that Arizona has an 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:44.760 Austrian player named Bernards I like it, whose nickname is 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:48.120 obviously Psycho. He's Dan Arnold's replacement at tight end, by 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.280 the way, and uh, he'll probably be a practice squad player, 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.080 but maybe he'll be better than Dan Arnold in Arizona. 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:59.280 Maybe it's Psycho that they let Arnold walk next up 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:02.800 to Jacksonville Aguars Bryan Jacksonville kind of reaffirming that James 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:06.320 Robinson is their lead running back. And uh, I fear, 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.800 and I know you like this comp charge. I told 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.520 you earlier in the offseason. Reggie Bush the Reggie Bush 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:19.000 roll for Travis Etna Travis like we stick with the 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:24.600 generally approved pronunciation of generally that's it, Okay, I wasn't 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.480 sure you were done. Baltimore Ravens have injuries on their 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.800 offensive line Ben Cleveland and Kevin Zeitler, and injuries to 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:35.040 their wide receiver Sammy Watkins or shod Bateman, Marquis Brown Um, 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:39.360 all guys that are severe, severe enough that the Ravens 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:43.240 may choose to actually sit Lamar Jackson in Saturday Nights 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.720 preseason game and just not playing because of the offensive lining. 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.280 He's got no receivers to throw too anyway, and honestly 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.320 that might actually make some sense. Let's go to the 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.560 Chicago Bears, Matt Andy Dalton will get they start in 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.560 Saturday Nights preseason game and get at least a quarter 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.680 of a half. But that means when the second team's 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.720 come of a half a quarter and a half. Got it. 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.440 But when the second team's come in, it'll be justin 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:11.040 fields going against Bill's quarterback, Sad Trombone Ski, or maybe 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:14.000 it'll be Happy Trombone Ski because he's in a revenge 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:18.000 game against the Bears in your CFS preseason. You have 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:21.800 a preseason revenge game. I think Mitchell true Whisky might 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:26.640 have one. Maybe I saw Tarik Cohen had Um had 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:32.320 tweeted anybody any any Bears fan who booze Sad Trombone Ski, 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.320 you are weird and sad, which I thought was was 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:39.280 pretty nice, Trombones. Our final team is the San Diego Chargers. 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:43.600 Brian Donald Parham Stock is on the rise six ft 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:47.360 eight pound tight end from short lived XFL fame. Seen 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.440 a lot of time and two tight end sets with 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.320 the Chargers lining up a lot in the slot on 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:56.040 the outside. You know, Mike Williams always gets hurt Keenan 0:16:56.080 --> 0:17:00.240 Allen doesn't have the cleanest injury history. Donald Parham, keep 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:01.760 your eye on him. I would stash it if you 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.520 got a empty spot in Dynasty leagues right now as well, 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.080 it's fantasy draft season. If you've got a draft coming up, 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.600 you can get my personal cheat sheet available for free 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:14.360 at Guillotine leagues dot com. When we come back, we'll 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:19.359 identify the bell cow running backs around the NFL, which 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.760 guys are sure to get a lot of touches find 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:42.760 out when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. It's 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:46.280 Fantasy Football Weekly. Thank you for listening. A bull Charchie 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.600 and Guillotine Leagues dot com. Matt Harrison with me, Brian 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:53.960 Johnson as well. Everybody wants to have bell cow backs 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.360 because at the end of the day in fantasy opportunity 0:17:56.440 --> 0:18:00.480 is more important than talent. And Matt, I've asked you challenged, 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:04.840 you always challenge me. I always challenge to identify the 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:09.280 bell cow running back. Summer obvious, Alvin Cook and Derrick 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.760 Henry are bell cow running backs. But as you get 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.960 deeper into this, there's some non obvious bell cows. And 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:18.720 let's let's hear what you've come up with, Well, we're 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:21.520 gonna cover all thirty two teams in this segment. Um, 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:25.520 we're gonna divide them into four categories. There's the three 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:29.320 bells category. That's a lot of it. That's actually like 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:35.600 eight bells right there. About how that kind of hurt 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:39.800 does hurt? Uh? They're projected for over three hundred touches 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:42.640 and there's little to no competition. That's thus the three 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:46.399 bells three touches are the two bellsches. Two bells I 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:51.119 have projected for over two d fifty touches with some competition. Okay, 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:53.480 we call it two two because of the two bells 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:57.600 whatever and one bell. They're still gonna get around two 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:00.840 hundred touches. But there's lots of variants and there's competition. 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:04.800 And then there's workhorses, which is a split backfield. But 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.320 we think that they're going to get a little bit 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.359 more of the share. All right, I think I got it. 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:16.200 So let's start with three bells. Charge. Oh gosh, it's 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.160 almost knocked me over. I have six of them. We're 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:21.840 not going to discuss them in great detail though, um, 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:26.399 but it might be worth handcuffing their backups. That's Christian McCaffrey. 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:30.760 His uh handcuff would be Cuba Hubbard, Dalvin Cook with 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:36.760 Alexander Madison, Derrick Henry with Darrenton Evans, Alvin Kamara with 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:40.520 Latavious Murray. Then it gets a little interesting. My other 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:45.399 two bell cows are Joe Mixon with Chris Evans or 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:49.880 Soma J. P. Ryan as the backup, and Naji Harris. Yeah, 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.639 I think that's probably gonna be accurate with Benny Snell 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:55.840 I guess as the backup. The Steelers have generally gone 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:59.600 with a bell cow running back mentality under Mike Tomlin. 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:01.800 Now let's get to the two bell running backs. So 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:04.199 there's more interesting stuff happening here. Okay, do you want 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:08.760 to give me two bells? Uh? Let's start with Ezekiel 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:10.680 Elliott and then I'm going to talk about the red 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:13.800 flags of each of these guys, whether or not three bells. Um. 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:16.560 Ezekiel Elliott's got some diminishing touches in each of his 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:20.400 last three years. Tony Pollard is good, the offensive line 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:24.120 has gotten worse, and Dack's injury history is questionable at best. 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:27.320 Although even Zeke doesn't quite believe in a thing called 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:34.480 bell cows anymore. Uh, next guy Aaron Jones his red flags. 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:37.919 What if A J. Dillon is really that good and 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:41.200 they can't keep him off the field anymore. Uh, Dylan 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:43.960 showed flashes last year late in the season. He's kind 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:46.840 of an interesting play. Yeah. The reason I'll differ with 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:49.600 you here from a carry's standpoint, I agree with that, 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.679 but I think those Jamal Williams receptions will go to 0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:55.639 Aaron Jones and that will keep his total touch total high. 0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:59.119 It could. Um, let's talk about Nick Chubb next from 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:02.680 Cleveland red Flags. Missed a month last season with an injury, 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:05.880 and Kareem Hunt got paid and is a very capable 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:10.200 one to punch. Uh. Jonathan Taylor is next his red flags. 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:13.760 Frank Wright comes from a no bell cow philosophy. Correct, 0:21:14.240 --> 0:21:17.240 Marlon Mack returns and has been looking good, and Nihim 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:19.840 Hines is all right last year too. Plus Carson Wentz 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:21.880 and Quentin Nelson are both going to miss the start 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:26.440 of the season. Next Austin Ekeler Red Flags. It starts 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:28.960 with his health. Uh. He's a pass catching machine, but 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:32.080 he's never averaged more than eleven carries per game in 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:37.280 a season. That's not yes. Uh, no backups though to 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:40.760 scare you, although, well, you know, we really don't know 0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:42.719 what this new offense is going to look look like. 0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:45.920 That's true Joe Lombardi offense. But you know, the hope 0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:48.520 is that it's going to be like Alvin Kamara, where 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:51.720 there there's plenty of there's Latavius Murray's always always sprinkled in, right, 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:54.160 but Calvin Kumara was still the focal point of that 0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:56.080 of the running backs, and we're gonna hope that that 0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:59.560 is the case here with absolutely um a guy that 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:04.040 a lot of people probably consider a bell cow Kwon Barkley. Yeah, 0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:07.280 his red flags are he hasn't been healthy in two years. 0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:09.680 His offensive line is one of the worst in the league. 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:14.159 Jason Garrett, I mean, excuse me. Coach Garrett is his 0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:19.400 offensive coordinator and Daniel Jones doesn't seem good. Yeah, there's 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:21.080 a lot of red flags there. There are a lot 0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:23.080 of red play and you think that could affect his 0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:25.760 total number of touches. They might be three and out 0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:28.840 all here. By the way, he has that Texas Twang 0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:33.520 Coach Garrett, he grew up like in New Jersey, you know, 0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:41.919 you know, eventually though he's acting very poorly, all right, 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:45.800 let's are there any other two bell cow runners? I 0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:50.119 get it looks like six more. Yeah. Antonio Gibson, his 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:53.360
