Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice.
Speaker 1: Now from Guillotine Leagues dot com. Here's your host. Welcome
Speaker 1: to another edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul
Speaker 1: Shargi in my co host today, like last week, Brian
Speaker 1: Johnson Guillotine Leagues dot Com and Matt Harrison's Shock Fantasy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: where do you shocked? Where do you deliver the shocks?
Speaker 1: And that's what I want. I'll get my mind out
Speaker 1: of the gun. Thank you. I appreciate that. Lots of
Speaker 1: great stuff. I'm speaking of the gutter. Lots of great
Speaker 1: stuff coming up in this show, and from the gutter,
Speaker 1: from the gutter, like the stinkhole. Oh no, the stinkhol
Speaker 1: What to do? Well, this is the gutters, this is
Speaker 1: the really is. We're gonna get there and stay there
Speaker 1: with the shock and the stinkhole is we believe Pick five,
Speaker 1: We're going to tell you what to do. We think
Speaker 1: the first four picks are pretty obvious in most leagues,
Speaker 1: and the same four players are predominantly going in the
Speaker 1: first four picks. But what do you do with picks
Speaker 1: five through twelve. We'll tell you a little later in
Speaker 1: the show when we venture into the stinkhole and beyond.
Speaker 1: And you've been working on that radio voice. I was
Speaker 1: practiced on that a little bit. Well, identify the bell
Speaker 1: cow runners around the league. We'll talk about the teams
Speaker 1: that have the most vacated targets, so there's some opportunities
Speaker 1: to find an up and coming player. And then perhaps
Speaker 1: the annual highlight of the preseason of Fantasy Football Weekly,
Speaker 1: the reach around. Yes, we will be providing a player
Speaker 1: upon whom you can reach a round on in every
Speaker 1: round of your draft. We used to do this at
Speaker 1: the live training Camp event, which unfortunately we're not doing
Speaker 1: this year. But there's nothing better than doing reach arounds
Speaker 1: in front of That was absolutely true. Sometimes sometimes you
Speaker 1: gotta pay to see stuff like that. It was free.
Speaker 1: But first we do a quick zip around the NFL
Speaker 1: training camps preseason games and find out what you may
Speaker 1: have missed, what are the big stories for each team,
Speaker 1: Beginning with the Carolina Panthers. Matt practicing against the Ravens
Speaker 1: this week, and the offensive line is very messy for
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Taylor Moten, who is the normal right tackle,
Speaker 1: getting reps at left tackle since Cameron Irving is out,
Speaker 1: and mixing and matching the old line is always just
Speaker 1: a really great sign for everybody. They also signed Markel Harrel,
Speaker 1: who was recently cut by the Raiders to the offensive line.
Speaker 1: There influx a little bit there. Bad offensive line anyway,
Speaker 1: and now reason to think, you know, it could potentially
Speaker 1: be the worst in the league. Let's go to the Raiders, right,
Speaker 1: Let's go to Las Vegas. Sounds good to me, where
Speaker 1: Darren Waller has returned to practice. Hollylujah. That's that's pretty
Speaker 1: much the biggest news coming out of Las Vegas this
Speaker 1: past week. All right, I'll go to Green Bay, where
Speaker 1: I have several injury updates. After playing well last week,
Speaker 1: Jordan Loves shoulder injury is going to keep him out
Speaker 1: of this weekend's preseason game and maybe longer than that.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers returned to practice after missing sometimes so good
Speaker 1: news there. A j Dillon nursing a calf injury but
Speaker 1: should be back soon. And non injury news from the Packers.
Speaker 1: Robert Tounyon continuing to get rave reviews and he keeps
Speaker 1: inching up every week. I move him up as spot
Speaker 1: or two on my rankings. He could be sitting on
Speaker 1: a really nice season. Let's go to the Washington football
Speaker 1: team at UH seventh round. Rookie wide receiver Des Milne
Speaker 1: is drawing praise from Ron River and Camp, calling him
Speaker 1: a great route runner with good size. Had a decent
Speaker 1: showing in the preseason opener, which included a nice punt return.
Speaker 1: You know, coaches love those guys who can chip in
Speaker 1: on special teams too. He's got a chance to be
Speaker 1: a third or fourth wide receiver there in Washington. All right, Brian,
Speaker 1: let's go to Buffalo. I am very excited about this,
Speaker 1: and you are as a well charged. I can only
Speaker 1: imagine Zack Moss returned to practice. I'm glad and yes,
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be my RB one when I take
Speaker 1: down our Empire League this year fellas spanking Houston Texans.
Speaker 1: The Athletic reporters say that Philip Lindsay could lead the
Speaker 1: team and carries, and if you recall a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago, we mentioned that their first depth chart that
Speaker 1: they published had Philip Lindsay and mark ingram is co
Speaker 1: starters and were like, what, but that might actually be
Speaker 1: the case. I noticed on Underdogs a DP this week
Speaker 1: that Lindsay is now one above David David Johnson, and
Speaker 1: I think that is appropriately so. And David David Johnson's
Speaker 1: looking like this is a real danger for him, and
Speaker 1: then Tyrod Taylor Peter should be headed for the team's
Speaker 1: Week one starter role. Let's head over to the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. Matt Antonio Brown got thrown out of practice
Speaker 1: after ripping off the helmet and punching Titans corner Chris
Speaker 1: Jackson during joint practices. Fiery competitor, competitor or psycho, you
Speaker 1: be the judge. I think we already know Cleveland Browns Brian.
Speaker 1: We all know O b J in Cleveland, right, but
Speaker 1: we need to get to know d j P. Donovan
Speaker 1: People's Jones, who has been lighting up camp. He said,
Speaker 1: d j P d p J. I'll see if you guys,
Speaker 1: I knew I was gonna mess it up. D p
Speaker 1: J Donovan, Donovan Jones, People's People's Jones. Something j P
Speaker 1: and jelly donut donut donuts sounds. We'll work this out.
Speaker 1: We'll work shop this off. D p J has looked great. Uh.
Speaker 1: Last year he was the twenty five wide receiver taken
Speaker 1: in one of the deepest rookie classes. Uh. He finished
Speaker 1: fourth in that class, though an average yards per route
Speaker 1: run showed some flashes late after oh b J went down.
Speaker 1: During weeks thirteen through fifteen, d p J posted the
Speaker 1: second most yard John throws twenty plus yards down field.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the third wide receiver for the Browns.
Speaker 1: Looking good. Indianapolis Star beat writer Jim I yellow after
Speaker 1: sniping me one pick before, I was going to take
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell, took Paris Campbell, and then after he took
Speaker 1: him told me that no receiver in camp has gotten
Speaker 1: more consistent separation then Paris Campbell. Good job, Jim. His
Speaker 1: speed has returned, as well as evidence by his long
Speaker 1: reception in the first preseason game. Uh. Remember in Campbell's
Speaker 1: one full game last year, he only got one because
Speaker 1: that's how. That's how. Paris Campbell rolls six catches seventy
Speaker 1: one yards and he rushed for nine more yards. On
Speaker 1: top of that, He's a freakish athlete and a nice sleeper.
Speaker 1: That sounds like insider drafting from my yellow is that
Speaker 1: is that allowed to Uh? He just did it to me.
Speaker 1: The Detroit Lions matt uh Dan Campbell called himself an
Speaker 1: a hole after cutting long snapper Don Muhlbach on his
Speaker 1: forty birthday. But in all serious Tyrrell Williams appears to
Speaker 1: be the top wide receiver on the depth chart as
Speaker 1: of now, and he's probably worth a late round flyer
Speaker 1: in most leagues. Let's go to the Jets. Zack Wilson
Speaker 1: and Corey Davis have been clicking as of late. Right now,
Speaker 1: Corey Davis is going off the board roughly around wide
Speaker 1: receiver fifty. Yeah, it seems a little late for a
Speaker 1: guy they just paid a lot of money too, and
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna get leaned on heavily by the rookie
Speaker 1: quarterback in New Jersey. I keep talking about the Chief's
Speaker 1: offensive line partly because it was the team's biggest storyline
Speaker 1: in the off season, but also because it's constantly in flux.
Speaker 1: As it stands right now today, the five starters across
Speaker 1: the Chief's offensive line have combined zero NFL snaps as
Speaker 1: a member of the Chiefs. Three of them have zero
Speaker 1: snaps in their NFL careers. So there's Orlando Brown, who
Speaker 1: was the left tackle. He was in Baltimore before. Left
Speaker 1: guard Joe Thuney was in New England before, but then
Speaker 1: after that, it's all disaster. Right now, You're starting center
Speaker 1: is Creed Humphrey, Your rookie, your right guardist Ray Smith.
Speaker 1: The rookie and sophomore right tackle Lucas Niang has never
Speaker 1: played an NFL snap. This bears watching. Much of our
Speaker 1: optimism for the Chiefs being better than last year has
Speaker 1: been built on that offensive line. Next up, the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 1: Rookie wide receiver Dwyane Eskridge came off the pub earlier
Speaker 1: this week and Russell Wilson's helping him catch up. They've
Speaker 1: completed some early morning workouts and he's likely the third
Speaker 1: wide receiver on the depth chart behind metcalf Ande, Lockett, Okay,
Speaker 1: Brian Broncos, Melvin Gordon back in action uh. He has
Speaker 1: missed most of the preseason with a minor growing injury. UH.
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams kind of a little bit of a head
Speaker 1: start there. I think we all like him to win
Speaker 1: that job in Denver. But Gordon is officially back in
Speaker 1: the mix, and that are running back competition. Xavier Jones
Speaker 1: has emerged as the second running back for the Rams,
Speaker 1: and he's likely to get work in the regular season
Speaker 1: as the second running back as well. He he got
Speaker 1: to start for the Rams in the first preseason game.
Speaker 1: He's known for his past catch and he caught three
Speaker 1: balls in that preseason game. And I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: chip in through the air that way. And remember from
Speaker 1: a couple of shows ago, Sean McVeigh said that he
Speaker 1: wants to be careful about not over using Darryl Henderson,
Speaker 1: and so there's going to be some extra usage to
Speaker 1: be had here and right now it looks like it.
Speaker 1: Xavier Jones next up the Philadelphia Eagle. Yeah, Philly arrested
Speaker 1: almost everyone in their Thursday night preseason loss to the Patriots.
Speaker 1: They lost thirty five nothing. So the lone bright spot
Speaker 1: was Davanta Smith getting constant, constant separation from the Pats
Speaker 1: defensive backs. Noted uh Jalen Hurts missed the game, went
Speaker 1: to the hospital with the stomach infection. He's gonna be
Speaker 1: out for a few days this week. Okay. Miami Dolphins
Speaker 1: Brian concerns that will be a running back by committee,
Speaker 1: concerns really for Miles gask and truths, like myself, a
Speaker 1: committee with Malcolm Brown and uh, sal sal Salvin, I
Speaker 1: forgot it's for his name, Salvi. Um, I'm not to
Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown. Two carries inside the ten in the first
Speaker 1: preseason game, stuffed on both. I think they're more like
Speaker 1: goal line carries. I'm weathering the storm with Miles Gas.
Speaker 1: He will be the lead back for the Dolphins, but
Speaker 1: we might be looking at a committee. But Gaskin is
Speaker 1: still the favorite in my mind. And Malcolm Brown got
Speaker 1: a lot of usage that I didn't want to see. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he did not do very well. Uh in those attempts.
Speaker 1: Nobody ever wants to see Malcolm Brown. No, that's probably true,
Speaker 1: um Vikings. We've already detailed their offensive line woes and
Speaker 1: back to back shows, which should really be the big
Speaker 1: story here, and that you need to be tracking. But
Speaker 1: I'll also mention that Justin Jefferson returned to practice and
Speaker 1: there's basically no doubt he will be ready for the
Speaker 1: start of the season. Philadelphia Eagles Matt I already did Philly,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna do Dallas. Dallas Cowboys. Matt Zeke slimmed
Speaker 1: down this offseason in an effort to be more explosive
Speaker 1: than durable. And he was quoted earlier this week that
Speaker 1: he thinks that the Bell cow running back is dead
Speaker 1: and that the quality of his runs are more important
Speaker 1: than the quantity. So Zeke might just be reacting to
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard being a better back and saying, man, I
Speaker 1: gotta get these right ahead of the storyline a little bit.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Patriots. Yeah, the Patriots who just
Speaker 1: played the Eagles on Thursday night, and everyone looked great
Speaker 1: for New England getting Damien Harrison, Stevenson looked great again
Speaker 1: and now J J. Taylor running back that has also
Speaker 1: garnered some attention in the fantasy community. So maybe there's
Speaker 1: some there's some assets on the New England Patriots. But
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna look good against the Eagles this year. It's
Speaker 1: a team that you'll be circling. Uh, Damien Harris should
Speaker 1: be going higher than he is just getting, you know, consistently,
Speaker 1: in back to back games, he has gotten the basically
Speaker 1: all of the meaningful rushing work with the first team offense.
Speaker 1: Rare Stevenson does not concern you though he looks. He
Speaker 1: does not concern me beating up third string defenses yet.
Speaker 1: But he does look very good, and I like that
Speaker 1: they brought him in and what was it maybe the
Speaker 1: late second quarter for that touchdown run on Thursday night. Well,
Speaker 1: Harris was beating second string. Well, the Eagles are just
Speaker 1: eternally third string, but anyway the same, Okay. The Sades
Speaker 1: have a constantly influx set of receivers and let's just
Speaker 1: detail where they are in some updates Michael Thomas ahead
Speaker 1: of schedule per Sean Payton. Trey Kwon Smith returned to
Speaker 1: practice after missing time with an unspecified injury. He should
Speaker 1: be the team's top receiver in the preseason opener. Marcus
Speaker 1: Callaway shined in last week's preseason game and he's drawn
Speaker 1: positive reviews in camp. He will be the other starter
Speaker 1: in week one. And just a quick quarterback updates as
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill and Jamis Winston battle here. Taysom Hill started
Speaker 1: last week's preseason game, looked inconsistent through three series. Jamis
Speaker 1: Winston came in for five series. I thought he looked
Speaker 1: a little better and he had two touchdown drives. We
Speaker 1: do expect Winston to run the first team offense on
Speaker 1: Monday night and we'll know more. Then. Let's go to
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. Man, there's not a lot in
Speaker 1: Giants Land, but Austrian running back Sandral platz Gumer. Oh God,
Speaker 1: I love that name. Yeah. I had a forty eight
Speaker 1: yard run in the preseason game against the Jets last week,
Speaker 1: and I just wanted an opportunity to say Sandro platz
Speaker 1: Gumer twice in a show. And let's go to the Titans.
Speaker 1: I meant to tell you before we started recording that
Speaker 1: the Titans have no important news coming in their camp
Speaker 1: right now, so nothing to talk about their The Steelers
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool suffered to minor ankle sprain and will miss
Speaker 1: some time. He is expected, though, to be available for
Speaker 1: Week one. Let's go to the Falcons. When Dolphins safety
Speaker 1: Eric Rowe keeps praise on Kyle Pitts, it's time to
Speaker 1: listen a little bit. He said of Pitts, he's long,
Speaker 1: he's strong, and he's about to get the friction on. No,
Speaker 1: that's not really it. That was uh somebody else. Well
Speaker 1: that's partially true, though. Roe did say that he believed
Speaker 1: Pitts would cause problems for defenses this year. All right,
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati Bryan not a lot of news coming out
Speaker 1: of since he either, But that's kind of what you
Speaker 1: want right now. We don't want to hear anything bad
Speaker 1: about Joe Burrow or Joe Mixon, probably the most boomer
Speaker 1: bust offense and fantasy football from Burrow to mix in
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. Our goal it set to see what happens.
Speaker 1: Ever it as of right now, all is quiet on
Speaker 1: the Midwestern front. In San Francisco, Trey Lance looked inconsistent
Speaker 1: in his first NFL preseason game last week. He had
Speaker 1: that beautiful deep bomb that you probably saw the Trent SuField,
Speaker 1: but he also badly misfired and several other passes and
Speaker 1: got sacked four times. Meanwhile, Jimmy Garoppolo went three for
Speaker 1: three in his loan drive. Several starters did not play
Speaker 1: in that game, including Raheem Mostard, who, by the way,
Speaker 1: being badly overlooked. I think in Fantasy League he's You're
Speaker 1: starting running back on a very good offense. Um, we'll
Speaker 1: get another look at the Niners on Sunday night and
Speaker 1: we'll learn a little bit more about Trey Lance into
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. At the time Arizona Cardinals. Matt, did you
Speaker 1: say Austria Cardinals, Because I learned that Arizona has an
Speaker 1: Austrian player named Bernards I like it, whose nickname is
Speaker 1: obviously Psycho. He's Dan Arnold's replacement at tight end, by
Speaker 1: the way, and uh, he'll probably be a practice squad player,
Speaker 1: but maybe he'll be better than Dan Arnold in Arizona.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's Psycho that they let Arnold walk next up
Speaker 1: to Jacksonville Aguars Bryan Jacksonville kind of reaffirming that James
Speaker 1: Robinson is their lead running back. And uh, I fear,
Speaker 1: and I know you like this comp charge. I told
Speaker 1: you earlier in the offseason. Reggie Bush the Reggie Bush
Speaker 1: roll for Travis Etna Travis like we stick with the
Speaker 1: generally approved pronunciation of generally that's it, Okay, I wasn't
Speaker 1: sure you were done. Baltimore Ravens have injuries on their
Speaker 1: offensive line Ben Cleveland and Kevin Zeitler, and injuries to
Speaker 1: their wide receiver Sammy Watkins or shod Bateman, Marquis Brown Um,
Speaker 1: all guys that are severe, severe enough that the Ravens
Speaker 1: may choose to actually sit Lamar Jackson in Saturday Nights
Speaker 1: preseason game and just not playing because of the offensive lining.
Speaker 1: He's got no receivers to throw too anyway, and honestly
Speaker 1: that might actually make some sense. Let's go to the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears, Matt Andy Dalton will get they start in
Speaker 1: Saturday Nights preseason game and get at least a quarter
Speaker 1: of a half. But that means when the second team's
Speaker 1: come of a half a quarter and a half. Got it.
Speaker 1: But when the second team's come in, it'll be justin
Speaker 1: fields going against Bill's quarterback, Sad Trombone Ski, or maybe
Speaker 1: it'll be Happy Trombone Ski because he's in a revenge
Speaker 1: game against the Bears in your CFS preseason. You have
Speaker 1: a preseason revenge game. I think Mitchell true Whisky might
Speaker 1: have one. Maybe I saw Tarik Cohen had Um had
Speaker 1: tweeted anybody any any Bears fan who booze Sad Trombone Ski,
Speaker 1: you are weird and sad, which I thought was was
Speaker 1: pretty nice, Trombones. Our final team is the San Diego Chargers.
Speaker 1: Brian Donald Parham Stock is on the rise six ft
Speaker 1: eight pound tight end from short lived XFL fame. Seen
Speaker 1: a lot of time and two tight end sets with
Speaker 1: the Chargers lining up a lot in the slot on
Speaker 1: the outside. You know, Mike Williams always gets hurt Keenan
Speaker 1: Allen doesn't have the cleanest injury history. Donald Parham, keep
Speaker 1: your eye on him. I would stash it if you
Speaker 1: got a empty spot in Dynasty leagues right now as well,
Speaker 1: it's fantasy draft season. If you've got a draft coming up,
Speaker 1: you can get my personal cheat sheet available for free
Speaker 1: at Guillotine leagues dot com. When we come back, we'll
Speaker 1: identify the bell cow running backs around the NFL, which
Speaker 1: guys are sure to get a lot of touches find
Speaker 1: out when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. It's
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Thank you for listening. A bull Charchie
Speaker 1: and Guillotine Leagues dot com. Matt Harrison with me, Brian
Speaker 1: Johnson as well. Everybody wants to have bell cow backs
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day in fantasy opportunity
Speaker 1: is more important than talent. And Matt, I've asked you challenged,
Speaker 1: you always challenge me. I always challenge to identify the
Speaker 1: bell cow running back. Summer obvious, Alvin Cook and Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry are bell cow running backs. But as you get
Speaker 1: deeper into this, there's some non obvious bell cows. And
Speaker 1: let's let's hear what you've come up with, Well, we're
Speaker 1: gonna cover all thirty two teams in this segment. Um,
Speaker 1: we're gonna divide them into four categories. There's the three
Speaker 1: bells category. That's a lot of it. That's actually like
Speaker 1: eight bells right there. About how that kind of hurt
Speaker 1: does hurt? Uh? They're projected for over three hundred touches
Speaker 1: and there's little to no competition. That's thus the three
Speaker 1: bells three touches are the two bellsches. Two bells I
Speaker 1: have projected for over two d fifty touches with some competition. Okay,
Speaker 1: we call it two two because of the two bells
Speaker 1: whatever and one bell. They're still gonna get around two
Speaker 1: hundred touches. But there's lots of variants and there's competition.
Speaker 1: And then there's workhorses, which is a split backfield. But
Speaker 1: we think that they're going to get a little bit
Speaker 1: more of the share. All right, I think I got it.
Speaker 1: So let's start with three bells. Charge. Oh gosh, it's
Speaker 1: almost knocked me over. I have six of them. We're
Speaker 1: not going to discuss them in great detail though, um,
Speaker 1: but it might be worth handcuffing their backups. That's Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 1: His uh handcuff would be Cuba Hubbard, Dalvin Cook with
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison, Derrick Henry with Darrenton Evans, Alvin Kamara with
Speaker 1: Latavious Murray. Then it gets a little interesting. My other
Speaker 1: two bell cows are Joe Mixon with Chris Evans or
Speaker 1: Soma J. P. Ryan as the backup, and Naji Harris. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's probably gonna be accurate with Benny Snell
Speaker 1: I guess as the backup. The Steelers have generally gone
Speaker 1: with a bell cow running back mentality under Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 1: Now let's get to the two bell running backs. So
Speaker 1: there's more interesting stuff happening here. Okay, do you want
Speaker 1: to give me two bells? Uh? Let's start with Ezekiel
Speaker 1: Elliott and then I'm going to talk about the red
Speaker 1: flags of each of these guys, whether or not three bells. Um.
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott's got some diminishing touches in each of his
Speaker 1: last three years. Tony Pollard is good, the offensive line
Speaker 1: has gotten worse, and Dack's injury history is questionable at best.
Speaker 1: Although even Zeke doesn't quite believe in a thing called
Speaker 1: bell cows anymore. Uh, next guy Aaron Jones his red flags.
Speaker 1: What if A J. Dillon is really that good and
Speaker 1: they can't keep him off the field anymore. Uh, Dylan
Speaker 1: showed flashes last year late in the season. He's kind
Speaker 1: of an interesting play. Yeah. The reason I'll differ with
Speaker 1: you here from a carry's standpoint, I agree with that,
Speaker 1: but I think those Jamal Williams receptions will go to
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones and that will keep his total touch total high.
Speaker 1: It could. Um, let's talk about Nick Chubb next from
Speaker 1: Cleveland red Flags. Missed a month last season with an injury,
Speaker 1: and Kareem Hunt got paid and is a very capable
Speaker 1: one to punch. Uh. Jonathan Taylor is next his red flags.
Speaker 1: Frank Wright comes from a no bell cow philosophy. Correct,
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack returns and has been looking good, and Nihim
Speaker 1: Hines is all right last year too. Plus Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: and Quentin Nelson are both going to miss the start
Speaker 1: of the season. Next Austin Ekeler Red Flags. It starts
Speaker 1: with his health. Uh. He's a pass catching machine, but
Speaker 1: he's never averaged more than eleven carries per game in
Speaker 1: a season. That's not yes. Uh, no backups though to
Speaker 1: scare you, although, well, you know, we really don't know
Speaker 1: what this new offense is going to look look like.
Speaker 1: That's true Joe Lombardi offense. But you know, the hope
Speaker 1: is that it's going to be like Alvin Kamara, where
Speaker 1: there there's plenty of there's Latavius Murray's always always sprinkled in, right,
Speaker 1: but Calvin Kumara was still the focal point of that
Speaker 1: of the running backs, and we're gonna hope that that
Speaker 1: is the case here with absolutely um a guy that
Speaker 1: a lot of people probably consider a bell cow Kwon Barkley. Yeah,
Speaker 1: his red flags are he hasn't been healthy in two years.
Speaker 1: His offensive line is one of the worst in the league.
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett, I mean, excuse me. Coach Garrett is his
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and Daniel Jones doesn't seem good. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of red flags there. There are a lot
Speaker 1: of red play and you think that could affect his
Speaker 1: total number of touches. They might be three and out
Speaker 1: all here. By the way, he has that Texas Twang
Speaker 1: Coach Garrett, he grew up like in New Jersey, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, eventually though he's acting very poorly, all right,
Speaker 1: let's are there any other two bell cow runners? I
Speaker 1: get it looks like six more. Yeah. Antonio Gibson, his
Speaker 1: red flags not utilized very heavily in the passing game
Speaker 1: last year in favor of J. D. Mckissic Washington was
Speaker 1: strangely past heavy last year and should be a end
Speaker 1: with Stu Beard at the helm. But will it include
Speaker 1: a huge uptick for Gibby, We're not really sure. Uh.
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire red flags hasn't proven to be a
Speaker 1: consistent short yardage back and could get spelled in that
Speaker 1: since uh and it his size. I just don't think
Speaker 1: it ever that part of his game ever comes together well,
Speaker 1: and his offense just might be too efficient. Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: is stealing his touches and touchdowns. H J K. Dobbins
Speaker 1: red flags Gus Edwards like Lamar Jackson, and he wasn't
Speaker 1: utilized enough in the passing game last year. David Montgomery
Speaker 1: he was kind of a bell Cow last year, but
Speaker 1: his red flags he was a product of having no
Speaker 1: other runners on the depth chart last season. And Damian
Speaker 1: Williams is more than capable of handling the pass catching
Speaker 1: role and some possible goal line duties. Chris Carson red flags.
Speaker 1: Injury issues have caused him to miss time in each
Speaker 1: of the last three years, although not he hasn't had
Speaker 1: like the A c L. You know he has four
Speaker 1: a week at the injuries kind of a thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Darryl Henderson, he's the last one in the two bell
Speaker 1: scenario here. I don't think the coaching staff trusts him
Speaker 1: to be a bell cow, or they probably wouldn't have
Speaker 1: used their top pick in on cam Akers. Xavier Jones
Speaker 1: has been turning heads in the passing game, and Sean
Speaker 1: McVeigh has been a hot hand guy since Todd Gurley left.
Speaker 1: So those are the red flags on Darryl Henderson. Let's
Speaker 1: move on to the one bell guys. These are guys
Speaker 1: who things that need to break exactly right for them
Speaker 1: to be a bell cow. Uh, there's seven of them.
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift is the first one his red flags. Jamal
Speaker 1: Williams might split carries or take at least a share.
Speaker 1: Jared Goff's not a great quarterback in the passing game,
Speaker 1: has very little that scares defenses, and Swift did miss
Speaker 1: three games with injury last year. Josh Jacobs red flag,
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake stealing touches, especially near the goal line, and
Speaker 1: the offensive line took a significant step backwards. Miles Sanders
Speaker 1: red flags that he missed four games last year with
Speaker 1: injury and was replaced in the passing game a lot
Speaker 1: by Boston Scott last year. Jordan Howard might be the
Speaker 1: goal line guy, and Kenneth Gainwell as a guy they
Speaker 1: seemed to really like in camp. Mike Davis his red flags.
Speaker 1: Are we sure that he's actually good? Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 1: with you on this. Well, you know, it's just I
Speaker 1: can't imagine he's not. Mike Davids is not a great runner.
Speaker 1: He but he's an okay runner and there's nobody else
Speaker 1: on the team to carry a ball, so I think
Speaker 1: he will do better than one bell. Atlanta's line did
Speaker 1: take an off a step backwards with the loss of
Speaker 1: Alex mac but he doesn't really have stiff competition. Miles
Speaker 1: Gaskin red flags. As much as no one wants to
Speaker 1: hear it, Malcolm Brown will get work, so will Salvin
Speaker 1: Ahmed and head coach Brian Flores is from the Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick tree and has already hinted at the running back
Speaker 1: by committee. Damien Harris red flags Bill Belichick, Sony Michelle,
Speaker 1: James White, Romandre Stevenson, and Cam Newton. That's five animes
Speaker 1: that are in his way of being a bell cow runner.
Speaker 1: And j J. Taylor. Now people love j J. Taylor.
Speaker 1: I'm still optimistic. I'm optimistic too. I got a lot
Speaker 1: of Damien Harris shares, but I'm still a little nervous.
Speaker 1: Michael Carter, his red flag is he's a rookie. Their
Speaker 1: defense is putrid and got worse this week with injuries
Speaker 1: that should leave the negative game scripts and the Jets
Speaker 1: have been bad for a really long time since. But
Speaker 1: still he's the best runner they've had, maybe since Ladanian Tomlinson.
Speaker 1: Once again, I disagree. I just think there's nobody else
Speaker 1: to carry a ball there. They get an offensive line
Speaker 1: with back to back first round picks on it. I
Speaker 1: think I think he's going to be better than you do,
Speaker 1: Michael Carter. I think Tevin Coleman is going to get
Speaker 1: a lot more touches than everybody wants if he stays healthy.
Speaker 1: Why not, he was good. I think we all agree
Speaker 1: that Tevin Coleman is not good. But their head coach
Speaker 1: came from San Francisco and Tevin Coleman came along the
Speaker 1: way with him like he's going to be there. Zack
Speaker 1: Moss last one Red Flags needs to stay healthy, but
Speaker 1: he's a better blocker, goal line back and receiver than
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. Finally, we go to the workhorses. We got
Speaker 1: you're already, Uh, there's six of these a split backfield,
Speaker 1: but we think they're gonna get slightly more than half
Speaker 1: and we need to zip through these six. They're gonna
Speaker 1: be quick. Javonte Williams over Melvin Gordon, Raheem Mostart, and
Speaker 1: the Shannahannigans in San Francisco, which could include Trey Sermon
Speaker 1: and Wayne Gallman, maybe even Jeff Wilson, Travis e t
Speaker 1: n the rookie and Jacksonville should take over for James Robinson,
Speaker 1: but it might take him a month or so to
Speaker 1: get there. Chase Edmonds will split carries with James Conner
Speaker 1: unless Connor gets hurt. Ronald Jones and Leonard Fournett and
Speaker 1: Geo Bernard it will be possible to peg who the
Speaker 1: Bucks top runner is in any given week. That's the
Speaker 1: worst scenario in the league. And last but not least,
Speaker 1: Houston stay away probably a good idea that might be
Speaker 1: the worst in the league. When we come back the Stinkhole.
Speaker 1: We know what the first four picks are like in
Speaker 1: most leagues, Christian McCaffrey, Dalvin Cook, Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara.
Speaker 1: But then what the stinkholes? Pick five? What to do
Speaker 1: with the stinkhole and beyond in the first round When
Speaker 1: we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly, Welcome back Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Paul charge In, Matt Harrison, Brian Johnson with you.
Speaker 1: If you haven't tried a guillotine league yet, we encourage
Speaker 1: you to give it a shot. Eighteen teams start the season,
Speaker 1: one for every week, no head to head, and at
Speaker 1: the end of every week, the low scoring team gets
Speaker 1: cut from the league and their entire roster goes to
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, where pandemonium ensues. Even guys like Alvin
Speaker 1: Camara a whole draft worth of players, So it might
Speaker 1: go Alvin Kamara, and then maybe the second round was
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, and the third round was I don't know,
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, and the fourth round was Darryl Henderson, and
Speaker 1: they're all the waiver wire. It's tremendous strategies. You figure
Speaker 1: out how much to bid on those players as opposed
Speaker 1: to saving for later. And the best part is you
Speaker 1: don't have to be the best team. Just don't be
Speaker 1: the worst team. If you cannot finish last, you can
Speaker 1: win your guillotine league. Last team standing wins at all last.
Speaker 1: That's right. That could be our motto for this. We
Speaker 1: believe pick five is this year's stink hole. If you
Speaker 1: will um where the first four picks are pretty universally
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, Dalvin Cook, Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara, and then
Speaker 1: after that all the remaining players feel like they have
Speaker 1: some blemish to them, one of which being thrown out
Speaker 1: a running back. And a lot of our listeners just
Speaker 1: cannot conceptualize is the notion of not taking a running back.
Speaker 1: Have they never heard of? Do the opposite? They've never
Speaker 1: heard of the opposite. So we're here to give you
Speaker 1: advice on what to do with the stinkhole, the fifth pick.
Speaker 1: All the way through the rest of the first round.
Speaker 1: We think this is the order in which to take players,
Speaker 1: and we begin at pick number five, the stinkhole pick.
Speaker 1: You've got picked five, Those four runners are off the board.
Speaker 1: What do you do you take? Travis Kelsey, you know
Speaker 1: who has regretted drafting Travis Kelsey. Nobody ever. You know what, though,
Speaker 1: I think that you said the exact same thing about
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas last year. Hey can happen? He has been
Speaker 1: tight in one for three straight years. In the past
Speaker 1: six years, Travis Kelsey has missed two games and they
Speaker 1: were both in week seventeens. And last year's tight end
Speaker 1: one was also wide receiver three, yes, four at worst. Yeah,
Speaker 1: He's an elite player in every meaningful metric, depth of target,
Speaker 1: catch rate, drop rate, yards after catch, yards per game,
Speaker 1: any metric you want. Travis Kelsey is phenomenal. He's a
Speaker 1: beast in the red zone, garnering an average of of
Speaker 1: all of Kansas City's red zone targets over the last
Speaker 1: five years. That's amazing. And Patrick Mahomes is the most
Speaker 1: talented quarterback to ever play the game. Last week, you
Speaker 1: guys may remember, in our pea cock off segment, I
Speaker 1: said Patrick Mahomes is going to set the league's all
Speaker 1: time passing record, single season passing record for both touchdowns
Speaker 1: and yardage in one season. And it's coming here, and
Speaker 1: nobody is going to get help more than Travis Kelsey
Speaker 1: At pick five of your first round, fir sting Cole.
Speaker 1: So let's go to the next spot. You've got picked
Speaker 1: six in the first round, Matt, who is the appropriate
Speaker 1: person to take care? I think you'd take Davante Adams
Speaker 1: because what's not to like about Davanta Adams. If he's
Speaker 1: not your wide receiver one on your board, he's maybe
Speaker 1: number two. He's got the m v P of the
Speaker 1: league at quarterback, who's frankly piste off and playing for
Speaker 1: a chance to get away from Green Bay. And oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, Adams is also in a contract here,
Speaker 1: so he's motivated to get his big final pay day.
Speaker 1: Double digit touchdowns and four of his last five seasons,
Speaker 1: including eighteen touchdowns in fourteen games last year. He him,
Speaker 1: along with Robert Tonyan are the red zone runners. They're
Speaker 1: the infrared zone runners. They get the ball through the air.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's absolutely amazing. And Davante Adams is a
Speaker 1: perfect pick at six. All right, at pick seven, Brian,
Speaker 1: who is the appropriate person to take the perfect person
Speaker 1: to take it? Pick some it? It is another wide
Speaker 1: receiver in his name is Tyreek Hill and uh charge,
Speaker 1: I'm going to take this opportunity to recommend your premium
Speaker 1: cheat sheet on D eighteen leagues dot com, because it's
Speaker 1: going to give me all the information I need to
Speaker 1: make this pick at one oh seven. Uh, Tyreek Hill,
Speaker 1: who is wide receiver to last year wide receiver five
Speaker 1: the first half of the season wide receiver to the
Speaker 1: second half of the season, very consistent percent of his games.
Speaker 1: He finished top twelve at wide receiver. That is very good.
Speaker 1: Of his games were outside of the top thirty. That's
Speaker 1: also a very good metric in that category. Very few
Speaker 1: dud games, and outside of Travis Kelsey, there's no one
Speaker 1: catching passes from Patrick Mahomes. I'm not worried about me
Speaker 1: Cole Hardman, or Byron Pringle or even Clyde Clyde Edwards
Speaker 1: a layer for that matter. It's it's all Kelsey and
Speaker 1: it's all Hill in the most dynamic offense in the NFL.
Speaker 1: So take Tyreek Killy won't be upset. Can I tell
Speaker 1: you why I love having Tyreek Kill on my teams? No,
Speaker 1: Because when Patrick Mahomes takes that extra two steps on
Speaker 1: his drop back and he's launching a rocket deep down
Speaker 1: field and that ball is at its midway apex, you
Speaker 1: know who he's throwing too, and I'm already off the
Speaker 1: couch because it may be sixty yard bombed to Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill and Randy Moss back in the day. It does,
Speaker 1: doesn't it. And it's fun. Tyreek Hill is so fun
Speaker 1: to have on your team. And that's why I love
Speaker 1: to have him. And that's why, actually that's why he
Speaker 1: is my my top ranked wide receiver is because fantasy
Speaker 1: football is supposed to be fun. I want to have
Speaker 1: a bunch of players. I have fun with him. Next,
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones with the eight spot in the first round.
Speaker 1: Last year, he was running back five. Jamal Williams is
Speaker 1: gone now and we're taking him his running back five
Speaker 1: in the first round. A couple of shows ago, I
Speaker 1: explained out Jamal williams departure was gonna vault Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: into elite fantasy territory through receptions. Already talked about that
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier in this show. Williams was good
Speaker 1: for forty ish targets per year that they got to
Speaker 1: go somewhere in a j Dillon can't catch so well,
Speaker 1: or at least they didn't target him. They cared targeted
Speaker 1: three times all of last year. So I think Jones
Speaker 1: has the opportunity to get even better here, and the
Speaker 1: Packers have been almost perfectly judicious in their use of
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, with enough touches to be an excellent fantasy producer,
Speaker 1: but not so many that he's an injury risk. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jones may lose some goal line carries to a J. Dillon,
Speaker 1: but not necessarily. Jones got ten carries inside the five
Speaker 1: yard line last year and he scored five times at
Speaker 1: conversion rates very good inside the five yard line. So
Speaker 1: austome Aaron Jones very safe and he's got literally RB
Speaker 1: one upside to him. If a J. Dillon doesn't pan out,
Speaker 1: and they really need to lean on Aaron Jones, he
Speaker 1: could be the highest scoring running back in football. And
Speaker 1: we're gonna take him at pick number eight. Let's go
Speaker 1: to pick nine. Who's the perfect player to take matt
Speaker 1: Um Austin Ekeler? But I feel like Brian should be
Speaker 1: presenting the case here, but let's just go over it again.
Speaker 1: Chargers offensive line, much improved, coaching, much improved justin air
Speaker 1: bear in year two. Eckler is healthy as far as
Speaker 1: we know, and as far as fantasy points per much,
Speaker 1: he's pretty much the top dog in the league. He
Speaker 1: has league winning upside if he gets the requisite workload. Yes,
Speaker 1: but as you elucidated earlier in the show, he's averaged
Speaker 1: eleven carries per game and that in his top season. Yes,
Speaker 1: it is top season, right, eleven carries per game. Now
Speaker 1: he is work He does work a lot in the
Speaker 1: passing game, which he was the backup in those years.
Speaker 1: So though essentially though he was fast year. So you're
Speaker 1: saying eleven carries his best year. Melvin Gordon was there
Speaker 1: for twelve of the game. So that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: He wasn't the league guy like he is now he's
Speaker 1: the lead guy. Now, here's the league guy last year.
Speaker 1: Still what average? He played half the season? Still then
Speaker 1: average better than eleven carries? All right, So that's the
Speaker 1: we believe that's the perfect, huge, huge upside. Yes, I
Speaker 1: just I just want parts of the Chargers offense that
Speaker 1: was picked nine. We're going through the stinkhole and beyond
Speaker 1: picks five through twelve in the first round, let's go
Speaker 1: to the perfect player for pick number ten. Ryan, Uh,
Speaker 1: this is the time to take Ezekiel Elliott who Uh,
Speaker 1: there's no sugarcoating. It has been a pretty bad player
Speaker 1: to have on your fantasy team the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: But he looks primed for a bounce back. He's he's
Speaker 1: in shape. UH. Dak Prescott will be back. We think
Speaker 1: now he'll be back. Uh. And and most importantly, because
Speaker 1: it all starts in the trenches, the Cowboys offensive line
Speaker 1: should return to elite status after getting obliterated by injuries
Speaker 1: last season. Left tackle Tyrone Smith only played a hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty four snaps. He will be back right tackle,
Speaker 1: while Collins missed the entire season due to hip surgery.
Speaker 1: He will be back. Zack Martin still one of the
Speaker 1: best right guards in the game. Left guard Connor Williams
Speaker 1: finished seventeenth overall in Pro Football Focus is grading. UH.
Speaker 1: The only real questions that is at center. But they
Speaker 1: do have a healthy competition there. So as long as
Speaker 1: Zeke stays healthy, the line stays healthy, Dak stays healthy. Uh,
Speaker 1: he'll pay off this one UH ten pick. Yes, when
Speaker 1: he Pollard is a concern, but h Zeke shouldn't fall
Speaker 1: any further than this. This is the perfect time to
Speaker 1: take him, all right. I like it at pick that
Speaker 1: was picked number ten. At pick eleven, We've got Nick Chubb. Now,
Speaker 1: we can't get Chubb higher than this because he's not
Speaker 1: a workhorse back. You can't. I can't. Sorry, But on
Speaker 1: a different team, like team without Kareem Hunt, Chubb could
Speaker 1: be the first player taken right different universe, like if
Speaker 1: you had dropped into the Vikings right instead of Dalvin
Speaker 1: Cook and you have to run first. You know, workhorse
Speaker 1: mentality like Mike Zimmer has, Nick Chubb would be the
Speaker 1: first player taken. Chubb's Pro Football Focus ranking over the
Speaker 1: last two years was running back nine and running back one.
Speaker 1: He's very good. Kevin Stefanski will always run the ball.
Speaker 1: Last year, Stefanski had the fourth highest run rate. The
Speaker 1: year before, as Minnesota's offensive coordinator, Kevin Stefanski had the
Speaker 1: fourth highest run rate, So we can safely say they're
Speaker 1: going to run the ball a lot. Chubb led all
Speaker 1: backs in broken tackle rate last year and finished with
Speaker 1: a gaudy five point six yards per carry. We already
Speaker 1: know that Kareem Hunt. Kareem Hunt's presence doesn't really take
Speaker 1: a lot away from Chubb, but he can be very
Speaker 1: fantasy successful regardless of whether Hunt is in or not,
Speaker 1: and even when Hunt played Chubbs still touched the ball
Speaker 1: seventeen times per game. That's great, that's great, that's all
Speaker 1: you need. Profo Ball Focus ranks the Browns offensive line
Speaker 1: number one in the league and that provides some safety
Speaker 1: for Nick Chubb as well. Some of those yards that
Speaker 1: you want him to get are going to come easily
Speaker 1: behind that offensive line. All right, let's go to our
Speaker 1: final player from the stink hole and beyond. You've got
Speaker 1: the last pick in round one? Who you got? But
Speaker 1: I hope I have the first pick in round two
Speaker 1: to well, yeah, it usually works that way. Um, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna start with Jonathan Taylor. He was the best running
Speaker 1: back in the league in the month of December, and
Speaker 1: I happened to believe that the last full calendar month
Speaker 1: of the year that we've seen all players play was December.
Speaker 1: So was that a sign of things to come? Was
Speaker 1: it desperation on the Colts part trying to make the playoffs?
Speaker 1: Either way, If Wentz and Quentin Nelson returned earlier than advertised,
Speaker 1: and all things are kind of pointing that they're kind
Speaker 1: of ahead of schedule, possibly maybe week two or week three,
Speaker 1: which would be really good. Jonathan Taylor is absolutely a
Speaker 1: steel because he was getting drafted at the one five
Speaker 1: in April, May and June in those super early drafts.
Speaker 1: So uh, he has that upside. Can he get the
Speaker 1: bell cow touches though, that's the big question. We reviewed
Speaker 1: that a little bit in the last segment with Marlon
Speaker 1: Mack there and Niam Hins there. I I just had
Speaker 1: this conversation again referring to a friend of the show,
Speaker 1: Jim I Yellow from the Indianapolis Star, and asked him
Speaker 1: this very question about Jonathan Taylor earlier today, and he
Speaker 1: said Taylor is the clear number one, but he expected
Speaker 1: a rotation of backs. He thought it would be less
Speaker 1: like December of last year and more like are less
Speaker 1: like December and more like September, October November where they
Speaker 1: had they mixed and matched some backs. Although Taylor clearly
Speaker 1: as more confidence from the coaching staff now than he
Speaker 1: did last September, but it took a while to get there,
Speaker 1: and he thinks you're gonna, you know, fantasy, nor was
Speaker 1: prepared to have some frustration there. It was a slow
Speaker 1: start for Taylor displayed. Marlon Mack went down in week
Speaker 1: one to and we all thought Taylor was going to
Speaker 1: rock it. At that point, and it it didn't now
Speaker 1: among the players who were not chosen yet for our
Speaker 1: first round, as we went through the stinkhole and beyond
Speaker 1: the player that I would have had next, Antonio Gibson
Speaker 1: would have been the next guy up for me, because
Speaker 1: I love that whole offense to ascend in a significant
Speaker 1: way with Ryan Fitzpatrick. I love the addition of Curtis Samuel,
Speaker 1: and in the second year of ever playing running back,
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson's going to get better and he was already good.
Speaker 1: Not only was Gibson good at the stuff you figured
Speaker 1: he would have been good at last year as a
Speaker 1: re converted wide receiver. We knew he could sprint to
Speaker 1: the outside. We knew that he was gonna be good
Speaker 1: catching the ball after the catchule they didn't throw to
Speaker 1: him enough. But he turned into a good inside runner
Speaker 1: as well. He was a tackle breaker. Things that he
Speaker 1: didn't know for sure Antonio Gibson could do, he did,
Speaker 1: and he was doing it against defenses that we're all
Speaker 1: playing right by the line of scrimmage because they couldn't
Speaker 1: pass more than ten yards downfield. Stu Beard's gonna open
Speaker 1: up that whole field for the Washington offense, and that's
Speaker 1: gonna make things a little bit easier for Antonio Gibson
Speaker 1: as well, So he would have been my next guy up.
Speaker 1: I can make a case for Naji Harris as the
Speaker 1: next guy up to um Uh mentioned it in the
Speaker 1: Bell Cohouse segment last last segment. He's got the opportunity
Speaker 1: to get three touches this year, and does the wide
Speaker 1: receivers are good. The line and is a little scary,
Speaker 1: and Big Ben probably doesn't scare people nearly as much anymore.
Speaker 1: But we've seen Pittsburgh Steeler running backs be top twelve
Speaker 1: running backs consistently as long as they have talent. And
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's disputing the talent of Naji Harris
Speaker 1: right now. I'll dispute the talent on offensive line all day.
Speaker 1: But still, and I think it's important we always harp
Speaker 1: on people replaying last year. Well, Naji Harris doesn't have
Speaker 1: a last year for most fantasy fans, and that's where
Speaker 1: rookies are depressed a lot. If you look at all
Speaker 1: of the second year runners that we're talking about, and
Speaker 1: second year receivers and we're talking about in the first
Speaker 1: two rounds. Get on that now, identify these rookies and
Speaker 1: replaying last year, Stefon Diggs could how about given bigger
Speaker 1: he certainly is in the conversation in the late first
Speaker 1: round that I think Diggs would have made sense. If
Speaker 1: you are in a bigger league, especially, Darren Waller could
Speaker 1: go as you know, it's you know the different when
Speaker 1: you're in a bigger league. The differential between the you
Speaker 1: know the well, if they're fourteenth or sixteenth or eighteenth,
Speaker 1: if you're in a guille team league tight end is
Speaker 1: really significant. Well, and if you're in a league with Brian,
Speaker 1: you'd better take him before Brian's second round picks. He's
Speaker 1: not getting You're gonna have to reach around on Waller.
Speaker 1: He's not getting past the early second When we come back,
Speaker 1: three tough questions for our panel of experts. You can
Speaker 1: play along is Fantasy Football Weekly continues in moments our
Speaker 1: number two Fantasy Football Weekly. Thank you for joining us.
Speaker 1: If your draft is coming up, you'd like to get
Speaker 1: some player rankings that don't feel like everybody else's. That's
Speaker 1: what I do with my line at Guillotine leagues dot Com.
Speaker 1: Try really hard not to fall into the group think
Speaker 1: of the fantasy experts out there, which happens a lot,
Speaker 1: and so I pride myself on having some really different
Speaker 1: rankings that is available for free Guillotine leagues dot com.
Speaker 1: I am Paul Charchie and my co host are Matt
Speaker 1: Harrison and Brian Johnson. This is a game we like
Speaker 1: to call three tough questions we encourage you to play along.
Speaker 1: Tough question number one. Now that there are seventeen regular
Speaker 1: season games, how much more important is handcuffing than in
Speaker 1: past years? No more important, a little more important, or
Speaker 1: a lot more important? Matt, oh no, there's five point
Speaker 1: eight percent more games. What are we gonna do now?
Speaker 1: If you didn't think handcuffing was important before, it's not
Speaker 1: more important now. If I have Dalvin Cook, instead of
Speaker 1: taking Aulex Madison and locking up one backfield, I'd rather
Speaker 1: take Jamal Williams in the same round and potentially get
Speaker 1: to backfields. If DeAndre Swift gets hurt, sure there's more
Speaker 1: risk and reward than that. But if you play fantasy
Speaker 1: to be safe all the time, have fun getting fourth place.
Speaker 1: Plus I highlighted it last week. There's only been five
Speaker 1: running backs in the last six years that have been
Speaker 1: handcuffy guys that have finished in the top fifteen only
Speaker 1: five and six years, less than one per year. It's
Speaker 1: not more important at all. Okay, Brian, Is it no
Speaker 1: more important, a little more important, or a lot more
Speaker 1: important to handcuff this year given the extra game? Yeah,
Speaker 1: basically the same answers, Matt. You have to start with
Speaker 1: how important is handcuffing to you in general? And to me,
Speaker 1: it's not that important. I prefer to steal the handcuffs
Speaker 1: of other players, like in our Empire League. I'm kind
Speaker 1: of we get running back, but I've got Uhuba Hubbard,
Speaker 1: CMCs handcuff, I got Madison, I'm gonna go after Darrington,
Speaker 1: Evans all those three, and one of them are gonna hit,
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't, So it's not any likely none of
Speaker 1: them are gonna hit because five guys and six years
Speaker 1: have done it well, further proving the point. Don't handcuff
Speaker 1: really if you better you handcuffed, You're better off trying
Speaker 1: to at least steal a handcuff than handcuffing your actual player.
Speaker 1: But it's no more important just because of one extra game.
Speaker 1: Come on, that's crazy. The correct answer is no more important.
Speaker 1: We couldn't predict injuries when there were sixteen games, right,
Speaker 1: and so you know we're not gonna it's not only
Speaker 1: to change because they're seventeen now. Uh. Handcuffing for the reasons,
Speaker 1: Matt said, very saliently. I believe um is a very
Speaker 1: dicey proposition. You should just say stupid. Well, it is,
Speaker 1: it's it is. It's kind of stupid. And you've, you've, you've.
Speaker 1: The way you set up is perfect. I can get
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams, who I could start in a pinch every
Speaker 1: week of the season. Or I can have a backup
Speaker 1: running back who only gets the ball like four times
Speaker 1: of games, five times a game, and I can't start
Speaker 1: unless there's an injury to the starter and he's eating
Speaker 1: a roster spot. And right I'm killing a roster spot,
Speaker 1: a valuable roster spot. So don't handcuff and don't let
Speaker 1: don't let the worry wards of the seventeen game schedule
Speaker 1: phase you the purse clutchers. Tough question number two, Which
Speaker 1: quarterback has Fantasy Football's biggest risk reward ratio? Bryant? For me,
Speaker 1: it's Dak Prescott. Uh, I know that the offensive line.
Speaker 1: In the last segment, we said it's gonna return to
Speaker 1: elite status. His trio of receivers might be the best
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He should be making his return to
Speaker 1: full health, but I'm not convinced of that that that
Speaker 1: the ankle is gonna hold the ball season. He has
Speaker 1: the shoulder issue and that quarterbacks six, there's just way
Speaker 1: too much risk for me there. Uh. I'd rather just
Speaker 1: wait another round or two and grabbing Aaron Rodgers or
Speaker 1: just an air bear. Uh. Dak Prescott the biggest high risk,
Speaker 1: high reward quarterbacks from me this season? All Right, Matt
Speaker 1: who is the quarterback with the highest risk reward ratio?
Speaker 1: I have the same answer, Dak Prescott. The injury history
Speaker 1: us uh. The upside, but you are taking him in
Speaker 1: the fourth or fifth round, and that's a scary proposition
Speaker 1: for a guy who hasn't been fully healthy in a year. Um.
Speaker 1: Although last year, through his four and a half weeks,
Speaker 1: he was on pace to be the best fantasy quarterback
Speaker 1: in the league. Would probably have hit passing yards and
Speaker 1: he was on pace for a nine rushing touchdowns. So
Speaker 1: the upside is number one QB in the league. But
Speaker 1: the downside is what you got last year. He might
Speaker 1: not play, or he might not be as effective. The
Speaker 1: there were two possible correct answers to this, I will
Speaker 1: not accept another one. Neither one was neither one as
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. The the quasi acceptable answer is Trey Lance
Speaker 1: because he may literally not play a game this year.
Speaker 1: It's a very real scenario. He has zero Fantasy points
Speaker 1: for the year. But because he's a Round twelve selection,
Speaker 1: that is not That is not the correct answer, definitely
Speaker 1: not the correct answer for the player with the highest
Speaker 1: risk reward ratio is Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts Round six
Speaker 1: a DP and he didn't We didn't get to see
Speaker 1: him on Thursday night, which is unfortunate because it adds
Speaker 1: to the sense of mystery or on whether or not
Speaker 1: he can pass, and that is the real question here.
Speaker 1: If we look at his his four passing totals in
Speaker 1: his four starts last year, he had to three yard games,
Speaker 1: that's great. The other two games one hundred sixty seven
Speaker 1: yards and seventy two yards. Now in the seventy two
Speaker 1: yard or he got pulled out in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: He got injured the fourth quarter, So I'll grant him
Speaker 1: a little bit of the way on that, but it
Speaker 1: was still a not a good look for him, and
Speaker 1: his defenses saw him more. His passing seemed to get
Speaker 1: worse than words. As mentioned last week, Jalen Hurts had
Speaker 1: the lowest completion percentage of any quarterback with at least
Speaker 1: four starts last year. His passing volativity volatility puts a
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on his running game for you, fantasy owner.
Speaker 1: Even elite runners like Lamar Jackson last year don't always
Speaker 1: run well, and they're they're better runners in this league
Speaker 1: than Jalen Hurts of the quarterback position. So eventually, in
Speaker 1: the NFL, if you can't pass, you can't play quarterback.
Speaker 1: You can only do so much, and there is a
Speaker 1: scenario here that involves at some point Jalen Hurts getting benched.
Speaker 1: Now the upside, however, is massive on Jalen Hurts if
Speaker 1: it turns out he can pass well. Now you've now
Speaker 1: what you've done is you've taken Josh Allen as a
Speaker 1: quasi functional passer and always a good runner and turned
Speaker 1: him into what he was last year when you could
Speaker 1: do both. When you can do both at the quarterback position,
Speaker 1: pass and run, that's fantasy magic right there, and that's
Speaker 1: why you've got the upside of an elite top five
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback and the downside of a quarterback who gets
Speaker 1: benched for Joe freaking Flacco. At least you can physically
Speaker 1: pass and run right now, as far as we know
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, I'm not so sure Dax passes his whole life.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be fine. Doc is going to be fine.
Speaker 1: I'm convinced Dax is gonna be fine. He's my number
Speaker 1: seven ranked quarterback right now. Tough question number three. There's
Speaker 1: an opening in a new excuse me, there's an opening
Speaker 1: for a new team in your friends league. Somebody fills
Speaker 1: that opening with their thirteen year old kid. Are you
Speaker 1: cool with that? Matt? I spent the last year teaching
Speaker 1: and coaching middle school kids, and mostly I don't tell
Speaker 1: them about the fantasy football aspect of my life because it's,
Speaker 1: you know, nerdy, But occasionally they find out. And when
Speaker 1: they find out, I got some really super intelligent questions
Speaker 1: from twelve fourteen year olds. They follow the sport like
Speaker 1: never before, and it's because they've watched their parents play
Speaker 1: fantasy since birth, and they they're cheering for players, they're
Speaker 1: watching the Monday night games. If the kid gets it
Speaker 1: and the kids involved. Let them play. Unless you do
Speaker 1: your draft at a strip club. All right, it's an
Speaker 1: opening for a new team in your buddies league. Somebody
Speaker 1: fills the opening with their thirteen year old kid. Are
Speaker 1: you cool with that? Yeah, as long as I'm convinced
Speaker 1: the kid is going to be is into it and
Speaker 1: managing the team, that my buddy is not using his
Speaker 1: kid as a vessel for a collusion. Collusion. But overall, yes,
Speaker 1: bring on the kids, they are a future. Teach them. Well,
Speaker 1: are we cool with that? Hell? No? What? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: want kids to play fantasy football, of course I do.
Speaker 1: They can play with each other, or they can play
Speaker 1: the family league. Keep your kid out of my friends
Speaker 1: league with a bunch of grown men. First off, the
Speaker 1: party atmosphere of your draft just got torpedoed. Right. You've
Speaker 1: got a bunch of guys gals who have a long
Speaker 1: history together. They tell war stories, they drop f bombs,
Speaker 1: they're drinking feer. You didn't say we're having a live party.
Speaker 1: But I donerally lame drafts you go to. They're smoking,
Speaker 1: they're doing whatever, and all that's scuttled because somebody doesn't
Speaker 1: see their kid enough at home. They gotta add the
Speaker 1: kid into your fantasy league. What about my message board?
Speaker 1: My message board filled smack talk obscenities. That's what I
Speaker 1: want my message board to be with my friends. I
Speaker 1: don't need to have the self censor because you decided
Speaker 1: to bring your seventh grader into the conversation. I've been
Speaker 1: meaning to talk to you about our message board. We
Speaker 1: don't like the full frontal nudity picks that you keep posting.
Speaker 1: Charge because they're mine, I know. And lastly, everybody, and
Speaker 1: this is the Brian's point, everybody's gonna wonder about any
Speaker 1: transaction that involves the father and the kid as the
Speaker 1: as the dad is the dad pressuring the kid all
Speaker 1: day long at home, talking him into it, helping his
Speaker 1: allowance whatever. I mean, it's a huge problem just from
Speaker 1: the integrity of the league. Look, we want kids to play,
Speaker 1: play with each other, have a cafeteria draft, play with
Speaker 1: the rest of your family, have aunt's, uncle's nephews, strange cousins.
Speaker 1: Get get that going spring your seventh grader into my
Speaker 1: grown up league. That's the correct answer. Charge is not
Speaker 1: about no angry. You know we are man, you know
Speaker 1: what we do. Love though the reach Around coming up now.
Speaker 1: Don't let your kids listen to this next segment that's
Speaker 1: right coming up next, the reach around we will give you.
Speaker 1: We will give you one player in every round to
Speaker 1: take a round earlier than his average draft round. Who
Speaker 1: is the seventh rounder you need to take in the
Speaker 1: sixth round because you want him on your team and
Speaker 1: you do not want to risk not getting him to
Speaker 1: reach a round. Coming up next, it's Fantasy Football Weekly
Speaker 1: Paul Charchy and Guillotine Leagues dot com, Brian Johnson Guillantine
Speaker 1: Leagues dot Com, and Matt Harrison's got a bunch of
Speaker 1: great stuff at shock Fantasy dot com, including your dynasty
Speaker 1: cheat sheets, your trade value calculator, keeper league calculator. If
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I need to get Christian McCaffrey in
Speaker 1: the second round or Mike Evans in the fourth round.
Speaker 1: Which one is a better value? Oh, there's a calculation
Speaker 1: for that. There is promo code radio if you want
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars off a membership. This is a segment we
Speaker 1: call the reach Around. We do it one time each
Speaker 1: year right here in this show. The premise, we give
Speaker 1: you a player that you should take one round earlier
Speaker 1: than his average draft round. For example, we will go
Speaker 1: through now and give you players that are going in
Speaker 1: the second round we believe you should take in the
Speaker 1: first round. We begin with Matt Harrison. Um, I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know where we got this a DP from exactly,
Speaker 1: but Austin Ekeler was listed as a second round pick,
Speaker 1: so I think that we covered that we'd picked him
Speaker 1: at pick nine in the last segment. So I think
Speaker 1: Eckler is the play. Yeah, Ryan, you're obviously going to
Speaker 1: assume that it is my answer as well. We already
Speaker 1: assumed that I would take it. I just want to
Speaker 1: remind everyone that in two catches for Austin Ekeler, uh
Speaker 1: and that was really is like the primary third down back. Again,
Speaker 1: he is the lead back. The question is how many
Speaker 1: touches will he get. I think he gets enough to
Speaker 1: easily clear two thousand combo yards if he can stay healthy.
Speaker 1: But that's the concern with everyone in the NFL, if
Speaker 1: they can stay healthy. All Right, We're all on Austin
Speaker 1: Ekeler as a second round player that you should take
Speaker 1: in the first round. But I'll also mentioned Antonio Gibson,
Speaker 1: who I mentioned as well in this who I think
Speaker 1: would have been a fine selection at the end of
Speaker 1: the first round as well. So Eckler, Eckler, Gibson, Let's
Speaker 1: go to the third round player you believe people should
Speaker 1: reach for in the second round. Matt A. J. Brown
Speaker 1: is listed as a third round pick. I'd take him
Speaker 1: in the second because before Julio was traded the Titans,
Speaker 1: many were considering Brown as the top wide receiver on
Speaker 1: their cheat sheets. And I don't understand why Jones coming
Speaker 1: in and drawing attention from the defense is a bad thing.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna get any double teams all year with
Speaker 1: eight in the box on Henry and Julio on the
Speaker 1: other side. Okay, Brian, who is your third round player
Speaker 1: you would reach for in the second round? I was
Speaker 1: gonna go a J. Brown, but I thought I'd mix
Speaker 1: it up good. But for the sake of the show,
Speaker 1: I went with Allen Robinson, who who might be safer
Speaker 1: than a J. Brown. They might be the ceiling not
Speaker 1: as high, but Allen Robinson one of three wide receivers
Speaker 1: last season with a hundred and fifty plus targets. Uh.
Speaker 1: Can you guess the other two guys by the way?
Speaker 1: Real quick? Other two Julio Jones, No, he's missed too
Speaker 1: much time. Target hogs Diggs, Diggs Hopkins got it, and
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson now Dvote Adams and Keenan Allen would have
Speaker 1: cleared that threshold, but they they little injured. But uh,
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson, whether or not it's Andy Dalton or justin Field,
Speaker 1: it'll probably be both a significant upgraded quarterback either way,
Speaker 1: and uh he'll be a target hog again and a
Speaker 1: very safe pick with a pretty pretty pretty sexy ceiling
Speaker 1: still either deeps. The round three player I am reaching
Speaker 1: four in round two is Terry McLaurin mccarden. He is
Speaker 1: the best receiver on an ascending offense led by a
Speaker 1: quarterback who can press the ball downfield, something Terry has
Speaker 1: never had before. He is going to get the best
Speaker 1: quarterbacking of his life, and he was already a wide
Speaker 1: receiver one producer. He has the opportunity to be a
Speaker 1: top five fantasy receiver and by talent, he might even
Speaker 1: already be there by talent, but it's been suppressed by
Speaker 1: the likes of Alex Smith. So I take Terry McLaurin
Speaker 1: as might reach a round player in round three. Let's
Speaker 1: go to round four. Matt who's the player you're reaching for,
Speaker 1: the fourth round player reaching four and round three, that's
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin. The upside is the top wide receiver in
Speaker 1: the game, because in twenty nineteen, with Jamis Winston at
Speaker 1: the Helm, he finished as the second overall wide receiver
Speaker 1: behind Michael Thomas. And it was that Michael Thomas yere
Speaker 1: where he caught fifty more passes than anyone else in
Speaker 1: the league. Godwin was also dinged up last year, so
Speaker 1: a healthy Godwin can probably win you your league. Okay, Brian,
Speaker 1: who's the fourth round player you'd take in the third round? Oh?
Speaker 1: You know it's Kyle Pitts. And the Falcons were not
Speaker 1: drafting a tight end in Kyle Pits. They were drafting
Speaker 1: Julio Jones replacement who they knew they were gonna lose
Speaker 1: a couple of months later. Uh, a guy they did
Speaker 1: not utilize in the red zone, Julio Jones. But they're
Speaker 1: gonna utilize Kyle Pits in the red zone, the infrared zone,
Speaker 1: the end zone. You've decided he's gonna be catching passes
Speaker 1: in the auto zone. Oh, I've decided this. Hayden Hurst,
Speaker 1: Russell Gauge Brandon Powell in the quantre red Well combined
Speaker 1: to score eleven touchdowns inside the ten yard line last year.
Speaker 1: Those are all going to Kyle Pitts, every last one
Speaker 1: of them, every last one of them, and then some
Speaker 1: who I prognosticated last week will score more touchdowns and
Speaker 1: teammate Calvin Ridley this year. Kyle Pitts in the third round.
Speaker 1: I've done it plenty. I'm not. I'm not. I'm going
Speaker 1: by what I say. The fourth round player I'm taking
Speaker 1: in the third round, Lamar Jackson. You know you talked
Speaker 1: two years ago, Matt about Chris Godwin. How about two
Speaker 1: years ago Lamar Jackson one league single handedly he was
Speaker 1: one of the best fantasy players ever, and that was
Speaker 1: just we're just one year removed from that. It could
Speaker 1: easily snap right back. He's he was not that that
Speaker 1: non functional last year. He was actually a pretty solid
Speaker 1: contributor most of the time. He just didn't have the
Speaker 1: gaudy passing numbers. And I know the receiver's hurt right now,
Speaker 1: but by the time the season gets here, his receiver
Speaker 1: group will be back in shape. Sammy Watkins will be there,
Speaker 1: Marki's Brown will be healthy. Everybody of a bateman will
Speaker 1: be ready. To Roll. I think Lamar Jackson still got
Speaker 1: freaky upside and I want a piece of that as
Speaker 1: we continue our reach around Matt. Which fifth round player
Speaker 1: will you take in the fourth round? I've done this
Speaker 1: several times in my underdog drafts. It's Adam Theelan, who
Speaker 1: has emerged as Kirk Cousin's favorite red zone threat even
Speaker 1: before Kyle Rudolph left the team, which is interesting. If healthy,
Speaker 1: his downside is probably a thousand yards and seven touchdowns,
Speaker 1: but his upside is plus and double digit scores. So
Speaker 1: I like Adam Thelan right there. All right, Bryant, who
Speaker 1: is your fifth round player you take in the fourth round?
Speaker 1: I'm going with Cooper Cup, who was wide receiver five.
Speaker 1: That was with Jared Goff at quarterback who went off
Speaker 1: the rails last year for the Rams goth That is
Speaker 1: clear upgrade at quarterback this year for Cup with Matt
Speaker 1: Stafford coming into town. And you know, as long as
Speaker 1: Cup stays healthy, even when we're reaching around for him
Speaker 1: in the fourth round, this is a Steel with a
Speaker 1: healthy Cooper Cup. Alright. I also had Cooper Cup for
Speaker 1: many of the same reasons. That offense is going to
Speaker 1: be so much better and Cups gonna bounce back nicely.
Speaker 1: Let's go to round number six of our reach around.
Speaker 1: Matt who is the player the sixth round player you
Speaker 1: would take in the fifth round? Uh, it's justin air, bear,
Speaker 1: Come on, Yeah. I said he'd finish only behind Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes on last week's Peacock Off, and you can listen
Speaker 1: to that on any of your favorite podcast platforms, including
Speaker 1: iHeart Radio. So I better put my money where my
Speaker 1: mouth is and I better draft him in the fifth round. Okay, Brian,
Speaker 1: who is the sixth round player you are reaching four?
Speaker 1: And round five? I'm going with Denver's rookie running back
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams, who I just think flat out beats out
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon at some point this year, sort of has
Speaker 1: a head start already in training camp, Gordon has been
Speaker 1: a little dinged up, and uh, I kind of like
Speaker 1: this Denver offense. They have the pass catchers to keep
Speaker 1: defenses honest. The quarterback a little bit of a question mark,
Speaker 1: but maybe that means they just lean on the run
Speaker 1: game a little more. And I just really like what
Speaker 1: I've seen at Javonte Williams. Of course, he hasn't played
Speaker 1: in the pros yet, but I've seen enough of Melvin Gordon,
Speaker 1: so I'll take a chance on Javant in the fifth.
Speaker 1: I'm feeling better. I'm I'm starting to really vibe on
Speaker 1: the Denver offense, in part because starting to think Drew
Speaker 1: Lock might just be okay, and all I need is
Speaker 1: just like adequate quarterbacking yourself well a little bit. You know,
Speaker 1: he's looked he looked very good against the Vikings second
Speaker 1: and third stringers, and you know, granted that's not a
Speaker 1: great it's not a great way to judge, but um,
Speaker 1: the training camp reports have been largely positive, and it's
Speaker 1: not like quarterbacks never get better. We mentioned Josh Allen
Speaker 1: recently earlier in the show as a as an inaccurate
Speaker 1: passer who got a lot better. Drew Locks got room
Speaker 1: to get better if he doesn't like that offense a lot.
Speaker 1: But that's not my answer. The sixth round player I'm
Speaker 1: taking in the fifth round t J Hockenson. I'm thinkingna
Speaker 1: tear by himself after the big three tight ends. Then
Speaker 1: you've got Hockinson and then you've got everybody else. I
Speaker 1: know you you got pits significantly lower than I like
Speaker 1: Hockinson a lot I think he's way way safer than Pitts,
Speaker 1: who comes in with all the unknowns of a rookie player.
Speaker 1: Hockinson in his third year. That's blow up year for
Speaker 1: tight ends on a team that's gonna be trailing most
Speaker 1: of the time, needs to pass and has no functional receivers.
Speaker 1: Our reach around continues into the seventh round. Who is
Speaker 1: the player, who's the seventh round player, Matt you would
Speaker 1: take in the sixth round? I've got Courtland Sutton and
Speaker 1: last year he was being drafted in the third or
Speaker 1: fourth round. Yeah, he missed the whole season due to injury,
Speaker 1: but he's certainly a guy with that pedigree of a
Speaker 1: guy that you can take three rounds earlier. So I
Speaker 1: like Courtland Sutton and you guys just mentioned how you're
Speaker 1: starting to believe in the Denver Broncos offense a little bit,
Speaker 1: a little bit, all right, Brian, who's the seventh round
Speaker 1: player you'd take in the sixth round? I love me
Speaker 1: some Tyler Boyd, who is the cheapest of Cincinnati's three
Speaker 1: wide receivers when it comes to eight p right now.
Speaker 1: Boyd was wide receiver eight in the first half of
Speaker 1: the season last year with a healthy, Joe Burrow and
Speaker 1: Yester Mark Chase wasn't there, but Boyd and Burrow quicking
Speaker 1: last year together, I've been clicking in camp so far.
Speaker 1: I think he leaves uh the Cincinnati wide receivers in
Speaker 1: non production this year. The seventh round player I'm taking
Speaker 1: in the sixth round is Damien Harris, the Patriots running
Speaker 1: back who is getting all the run with the first team. Um.
Speaker 1: He is coming off the field for third some third downs,
Speaker 1: and that's just who he is. I don't think he's
Speaker 1: gonna be a PPR helper James White's territory, largely James
Speaker 1: White's territory and maybe others. But Harris has running hard
Speaker 1: and has looked good. And let's remember, as frustrating as
Speaker 1: running backs can be for the Patriots, they're only like
Speaker 1: two seasons removed from like Garrett Blunt having the most
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns in the NFL. And Harris was the Patriots
Speaker 1: best player last year, like overall best offensive player for sure.
Speaker 1: You know that's that you can certainly make a case
Speaker 1: for that. Now, obviously this year it's of Smith. Maybe
Speaker 1: we'll talk more about him later. Let's move to the
Speaker 1: eighth round of our reach around. We're gonna go through
Speaker 1: ten rounds and let's pick up Matt with the eighth
Speaker 1: round player you would take in the seventh round. I
Speaker 1: got Robert tons of fun you in. Uh. He's been
Speaker 1: the standout in Packers camp so far, caught eleven touchdowns
Speaker 1: last season. Packers don't run the ball near the stripe
Speaker 1: nearly as much as they probably should, thus making Davante
Speaker 1: Adams and Robert tony In super valuable as you get
Speaker 1: closer and closer to the end zone. Makes sense, Brian,
Speaker 1: This the eighth round player you would take in the
Speaker 1: seventh round. The one Houston Texan I'm willing to roster
Speaker 1: this year is Brandon Cooks, and I take him in
Speaker 1: the seventh round. Uh. Really don't know what's gonna happen
Speaker 1: at quarterback in Houston. Looking like a Torod Taylor a
Speaker 1: week one start. All I know is for Shawn Watson
Speaker 1: when the Feds are involved, I'm not looking too good
Speaker 1: for his prospects uh this year and beyond. But regardless
Speaker 1: of quarterback, Cooks will see a ton of volume in
Speaker 1: positive game scripts for wide receivers, that's for sure. I
Speaker 1: think eight catches twelve hundred yards is in the cards
Speaker 1: and he'll get you four or five six touchdowns as well.
Speaker 1: I'll take that in the seventh round. My reach around
Speaker 1: player that I'm taking in the seventh round with an
Speaker 1: eighth round average draft position, Deebo Samuel. Why I don't
Speaker 1: understand why he would go this low. This is a
Speaker 1: very very promising offense and Deebo Samuels a special talent,
Speaker 1: so good after the catch and one of the one
Speaker 1: of the Deebo Samuel stats that we have talked about
Speaker 1: on previous shows. He had the shortest average throw last
Speaker 1: year when it was Nick Mullins and c J. Bout third,
Speaker 1: and however his average depth of target average depth of
Speaker 1: target was like three yards. It's going to stretch out
Speaker 1: this one way or another. It's going to be longer downfield.
Speaker 1: And Deebo Samuel is so strong and so special after
Speaker 1: the catch that I believe he is sitting on a
Speaker 1: vastly superior season than the one he had last year.
Speaker 1: His value being suppressed a great deal, I think just
Speaker 1: because of the injury and the bad quarterback play from
Speaker 1: last season. All right, let's go to the ninth round
Speaker 1: of our reach around. Give me a ninth round player,
Speaker 1: you would take in the eighth round, Matt. Another guy
Speaker 1: I've done a lot of reaching on is Zack Moss.
Speaker 1: We've outlined it a few times. Moss is the best
Speaker 1: pure runner, pass blocker, and pass catcher on the Bill's roster,
Speaker 1: but he's getting that injury prone prone label. If healthy though,
Speaker 1: if healthy, maybe yeah, Zack Moss, let's go okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, for all the reasons Matt said and Josh
Speaker 1: allen Kin succeeded the goal line, but they don't want
Speaker 1: him to consistently take those hits. Zack Moss wasn't available
Speaker 1: to them to take this goal. He will be this year.
Speaker 1: He's gonna stay healthy, We're gonna be positive. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: let's hope that's the case. And you guys know, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm I'm camp Moss. I I want Zach to be great,
Speaker 1: but I'm taking a J. Dillon here because I feel
Speaker 1: I had to feel safer about a J. Dillon. And
Speaker 1: and here's why I know that this is a this
Speaker 1: is I know he's going to get carries because I
Speaker 1: know Aaron Jones isn't going to be a touchback. That's
Speaker 1: just not how they ever use him. So I know
Speaker 1: there is a sizeable role for a J. Dillon. I
Speaker 1: want there to be a sizeable role for Zack Moss,
Speaker 1: and there should be, but I can't tell you for
Speaker 1: certain there will be. A J. Dillon is the ninth
Speaker 1: round player I would take in the tenth round. You're
Speaker 1: going for safety with that pick instead of the upside. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I like. When I'm reaching, I'm always going
Speaker 1: for the upside. Let's move our reach around to the
Speaker 1: tenth round. Give me a tenth round player you would
Speaker 1: take in the ninth round, Matt Jalen Waddle, Let's see
Speaker 1: who to His favorite wide receiver is probably his college
Speaker 1: teammate in the first round pick. It's not often you
Speaker 1: see rookie wide receiver slide right into the top of
Speaker 1: the depth chart, especially with capable players surrounding him. So
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle, he's impressed in camp, all right. Brian mentioned
Speaker 1: earlier in the show how Corey Davis has really been
Speaker 1: clicking with Zach Wilson. So I would take him here
Speaker 1: in the ninth round. Right now, going as all the
Speaker 1: board at wide receiver wide receiver fifty, that's way too
Speaker 1: late for a guy who's going to command the most
Speaker 1: targets on the team. I think, especially in the red zone.
Speaker 1: They just paid the guy a ton of money. I
Speaker 1: still like Corey Davis. The reach around player I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take in the ninth round with the tenth round average
Speaker 1: draft position is Tyler Higbee tight end for the Rams.
Speaker 1: Last year, if you combine to Gerald Everett and Tyler
Speaker 1: Higbee into one tight end, you had tight end five.
Speaker 1: Gerald Everett is now in Seattle. Higby is basically running
Speaker 1: alone with tight ends and he'll be on the field way,
Speaker 1: way more than he ever has been before. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: try Tyler Higbee as that player that tight end. If
Speaker 1: you slept that tight end position, I feel pretty confident
Speaker 1: about going to war with Tyler Higbee. Our final reach
Speaker 1: around round is the eleventh round player you had taken
Speaker 1: the tenth round, Matt. I'm looking for that upside play again,
Speaker 1: and I think the biggest upside in this round was
Speaker 1: justin fields. Once he starts, his accuracy and elusiveness should
Speaker 1: make him one of the most dangerous players in the
Speaker 1: league and could be just a Fantasy All Star for
Speaker 1: the second half of the season. Brian, who is your
Speaker 1: eleventh round player you would take in the tenth round.
Speaker 1: I'm going with Jamal Williams on now with the Detroit Lions. Uh.
Speaker 1: We talked about t J. Hockenson earlier. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about the Detroit passing game later. But outside of Hackinson,
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams might be the best receiver on that team.
Speaker 1: And he certainly can handle running back duties, especially if
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift goes down. He's already been a little banged
Speaker 1: up in camp already. I'm not convinced he can stay
Speaker 1: healthy whole season or be a workhorse for that matter.
Speaker 1: I also at Justin Fields league winning upside if everything
Speaker 1: breaks right for Justin Fields, if he can pass and throw. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's really really tempting, isn't That would be great? Well,
Speaker 1: there you go. This year's reach around is in the books.
Speaker 1: When we come back our final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly,
Speaker 1: including our sleepers for this week and the key teams
Speaker 1: with vacated targets an opportunity to fill in with a
Speaker 1: new player. Stay tuned. Final segment Fantasy Football Weekly coming
Speaker 1: up next Final segment, Fantasy Football Weekly. If you've always
Speaker 1: wanted to try and guillotine league, this is the time.

Speaker 1: through nine through sixteen, and there you go. You've got
Speaker 1: you can have. You can have two winners in one year.
Speaker 1: You never get that in a regular fantasy league, like
Speaker 1: kind of like, well you can win twice shop. Now,
Speaker 1: going back to back would be very impressive, right because
Speaker 1: you'll redraft after the first one is over. If you
Speaker 1: could go back to back in that, I mean pretty impressive.
Speaker 1: Feat Yeah, game of skill, So yeah, you could do that. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's talk about vacated targets. Brian, I asked you to
Speaker 1: come give me the teams that have the most vacated targets,
Speaker 1: so we can try to identify some players who maybe
Speaker 1: haven't really performed at the level that we want. But
Speaker 1: because there's so many now, there's so many available receptions
Speaker 1: that we think there's room, there's a vacuum for these
Speaker 1: police new players to come in. Yeah, definitely, uh, And
Speaker 1: we're gonna start with Detroit who has the most vacated
Speaker 1: targets more because yeah, like history of the game, and
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they had a prior knowledge of
Speaker 1: Jared Goff coming to town. So they all feed, right,
Speaker 1: But those guys are Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones, Danny Ammondola,
Speaker 1: all on new teams. They accounted for three hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty two of the lions five hundred and sixty two
Speaker 1: pass attempts last year. They have all left town. That
Speaker 1: was also almost seventy three of Detroit's air yards gone,
Speaker 1: so a lot of opportunity for some new faces in Detroit.
Speaker 1: I want to mention of the targets from inside the
Speaker 1: ten yard line for Detroit also gone. That's now the
Speaker 1: question then, is all right, so other than t J.
Speaker 1: Hawkins love and we think he's gonna he's sitting on
Speaker 1: a big year. Who are the players that could potentially
Speaker 1: fill that void? Now? Earlier in the show, we made
Speaker 1: passing reference the fact that Tyroll Williams appears to be
Speaker 1: the leading receiver there. Um, we know what Brishod Perraman
Speaker 1: is all about, and that's you know, the occasional deep bombs.
Speaker 1: So you know we're gonna you watch when we're doing
Speaker 1: our um or take a chance of me receivers. We're
Speaker 1: gonna be sprinkling in some Brashot Perriman from time to time.
Speaker 1: I think, um, and maybe a little Tyroll Williams. Some
Speaker 1: people think I'm on ras St Brown is going to
Speaker 1: be a number one receiver for that team before long.
Speaker 1: He's got fish is one of them, man ross St.
Speaker 1: Brown has the highest a d P among the wide
Speaker 1: receivers right now at wide receiver seventy two. Tyrell Williams,
Speaker 1: who you said, as of late, looks like the number
Speaker 1: one wide receiver in camp. Again, Hockinson, we expect to
Speaker 1: be leading just receiver overall. And then Brashod Perriman, who
Speaker 1: definitely showed flashes late with the Bucks in ten at
Speaker 1: a Monster got him a big contract one year with
Speaker 1: the Jets, and he had some decent games for the
Speaker 1: Jets last year. So, like you said, I don't know
Speaker 1: who to reckon, and out of these guys, would almost
Speaker 1: go with the cheapest one. Tyroll Williams has looked great
Speaker 1: at times, but there haven't been a lot of those times.
Speaker 1: He's always hurt. But then again, he has left the
Speaker 1: Chargers who are kind of cursed at wide receiver. It
Speaker 1: seems like with injuries almost I want to put more
Speaker 1: bad juju on them with Keenan Allen and Mike Williams
Speaker 1: already hurt. But I don't know. But like you said,
Speaker 1: it's really all about T G. T J. Hockenson. But
Speaker 1: someone's gonna have to step up at wide receiver, and
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna be rookie. I'm on
Speaker 1: Russ st Brown and one other guy is Quintez cifis
Speaker 1: a long shot receiver. But we just have to see
Speaker 1: how this plays out. But again, nearly six of the
Speaker 1: targets vacated for Detroit and a new quarterback in Jared Goff.
Speaker 1: It'll it'll be interesting to see how that shakes out.
Speaker 1: Give me the second the team, the number two team,
Speaker 1: with the most vacated targets. The Tennessee Tightens with nearly
Speaker 1: thirty four percent of their targets vacated. Corey Davis gone,
Speaker 1: Adam Humphreys gone, and your boy, of course, John hu
Speaker 1: John Hu Smith gone. That those guys accounted for over
Speaker 1: twenty one air yards from the Titans last year. That
Speaker 1: was nearly of their air yards. And the guys who
Speaker 1: came in at first, he was just Josh Reynolds, and
Speaker 1: we're like, okay, it's Anthony ferlks or season and Josh
Speaker 1: Reynolds is something and a Brown is my number one
Speaker 1: at that moment, were like two hundred targets for a
Speaker 1: j Brown in the bank. Uh. Of course the Titans
Speaker 1: traded for Julio Jones, who comes in, who I do
Speaker 1: not hate, by the way, if you listen to last
Speaker 1: week's show, I hate his red zone usage or lack
Speaker 1: thereof throughout his career with the Falcons. But the Titans, Uh,
Speaker 1: with those players I mentioned, Uh, four d eighty five
Speaker 1: targets gone, fifteen vacated targets inside the ten yard line. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm just not excited about Josh Reynolds. Now that the
Speaker 1: it's really a matter of how much is Julio going
Speaker 1: to take from A. J. Brown's supposed leap into superstardom
Speaker 1: this year? And I still love a J. Brown. He's
Speaker 1: still like my number five wide receiver. Um. But and
Speaker 1: and I think Julio Jones may actually make A J.
Speaker 1: Brown more consistent than he might have been otherwise, because
Speaker 1: when he was all alone, I figured there were gonna
Speaker 1: be some teams that would just like triple Team A J. Brown.
Speaker 1: They're gonna brown and right and just somebody else's game
Speaker 1: make Anthony Firkser beat us right. Well, I can't wait
Speaker 1: just to see if it was an Atlanta thing with
Speaker 1: the Julio red zone end zone usage, because again up
Speaker 1: for grabs for Tennessee this year, and Wholi has the size,
Speaker 1: he has the skill, so I hope they utilize him
Speaker 1: a lot more. In the what's the number three team
Speaker 1: with the most vacated targets? The New Orleans Saints Emmanuel
Speaker 1: Sanders and Jared Cook have left town. That opens up
Speaker 1: nearly eleven targets per game for the Saints, and you're
Speaker 1: not even counting Michael Thomas's got that. Of course, Eddie
Speaker 1: targets intended from Michael Thomas are essentially vacated for at
Speaker 1: least the first four to six weeks of the red
Speaker 1: other seasons, so a lot of opportunity in New Orleans.
Speaker 1: We're looking at guys and they haven't brought in anybody yet.
Speaker 1: They're they're looking at Trey Kwon Smith, Marquez Callaway, Will Jordan,
Speaker 1: Humphrey best name in the NFL by the Will Jordan
Speaker 1: loved that. Some think Adam Troutman is a sleeper tight end,
Speaker 1: but uh again, right now, let's talk about Michael Thomas.
Speaker 1: Let's go back there, wide receiver forty four right now,
Speaker 1: And I mean, are you yeah, that's like round eight,
Speaker 1: round nine? Are you You're gonna have to sit on
Speaker 1: them for a while, But it all depends all depends
Speaker 1: on the size of your bench, and it could be
Speaker 1: all year. I mean, you know, we don't even know
Speaker 1: are they even speaking terms at that point? And the
Speaker 1: Saints might be bad this year, they might be really
Speaker 1: really bad. There was no TI. I feel like there's
Speaker 1: no team that is that is more safe to bet.
Speaker 1: The underwind total on the wind total on them is
Speaker 1: still nine. Yeah, there, that is the most safe under
Speaker 1: wind total in the NFL. I agree let's get negative
Speaker 1: some money. I saw Terrell Owens and he was adamant
Speaker 1: about it, says he can still play. Of course he's
Speaker 1: seven years old. Let's go Saints. It's no better place
Speaker 1: for Terrell Owens, who attended to come back the New
Speaker 1: Orleans or right now Mark has Callaway. Uh, it looks
Speaker 1: like the favorite to be the You know that I'm
Speaker 1: more on the tray Kwan Smith, especially in best Ball
Speaker 1: he has those spike weeks, So I'm more on board
Speaker 1: with the tray Kuwans with Smith. But a lot of
Speaker 1: vacated targets in New Orleans. Will see how those get
Speaker 1: spread around. And Uh. Lastly, the Atlanta Falcons lost Julio,
Speaker 1: of course, uh, and a fair amount of targets lost
Speaker 1: from Todd Gurley, Brian Hill, and Edo Smith nearly eighty
Speaker 1: targets there. Uh so after Jones was shipped to the Titans. UH,
Speaker 1: two d and thirteen total vacated targets for Atlanta nearly
Speaker 1: twelve hundred are yards. Uh, more than a quarter of
Speaker 1: Atlanta's targets inside the ten, even though none of those
Speaker 1: went to Julio. Those were all really the running backs
Speaker 1: that I had mentioned. Uh. But this is all going
Speaker 1: to act to Kyle Pitts. That's all that matters. The
Speaker 1: only player coming in is Kyle Pitts. Last year, Atlanta
Speaker 1: was fourth in past attempts, fifth in passing yards. Earlier
Speaker 1: in the show, I mentioned the targets from inside the
Speaker 1: ten yard line where guys like Russell Gauge, Hayden Hurst,
Speaker 1: Lakwan Treadwell we're having success. Pitts is going to command
Speaker 1: those targets all over the place. Predicts a minimum of
Speaker 1: twenty targets for Pitts. You can laugh now, Church. He's
Speaker 1: going to have a splash flat factor of a Randy
Speaker 1: Moss or a Megatron. He's that much of a freak athlete.
Speaker 1: So I hope you're right, brian On. In all of
Speaker 1: your leagues this year in the flex position, what percentage
Speaker 1: will be tight ends this year? Um, because I feel
Speaker 1: like it's about percent for you. And I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: Dan will just starter Darren wall Darren Waller and then
Speaker 1: he's going to flex in a third tight end and
Speaker 1: it'll be over two thirds of my team. Arnold is
Speaker 1: the third tight end draft, but we'll utilize him. But no,
Speaker 1: I've got Waller and Pitts. I've been going second round
Speaker 1: waller pits in the third all day long like those
Speaker 1: It's insane. I'm all in. But let's let's get to
Speaker 1: our sleepers. Are you done? Are you done with this?
Speaker 1: Think we're going to be a ten? Just mentioned a
Speaker 1: couple of lone players who left. That might open up
Speaker 1: some opportunities on some teams. Will Fuller leaving Houston, so
Speaker 1: some people like Nico Collins the draft and Nelson Agile
Speaker 1: are leaving Las Vegas. He saw a decent amount targets
Speaker 1: had seven eight touchdowns. A lot of people excited about
Speaker 1: Brian Edwards for the Raiders this year, but Hunter Renfro
Speaker 1: was supposedly flaming Jalen Ramsey and joined Ramsey did not
Speaker 1: agree with that assessment. Sure you getting interested to know? Yeah,
Speaker 1: So we'll we'll leave that up to you know, maybe
Speaker 1: a third party. Jalen Ramsey might be falling off that
Speaker 1: Josh Norman Cliff remember when that happened him on Quick
Speaker 1: It does come fast for for cornerbacks. Let's get to
Speaker 1: our three sleepers of the week, beginning with Matt Harrison,
Speaker 1: who is yours this week? Terrorists Marshall a junior UH
Speaker 1: six pounds, the biggest of the rookie wide receiver Blue
Speaker 1: Chippers played for offensive coordinator Joe Brady at L s U,
Speaker 1: the same school that produced Justin Jefferson last season, and
Speaker 1: by the way, Terris Marshall did not drop a single
Speaker 1: pass in the red zone at L s U. Has
Speaker 1: had some highlight reel catches in joint practices with the
Speaker 1: Colts and Ravens already especially looking good with the high
Speaker 1: pointing and contested catches. He's also the only rookie wide
Speaker 1: receiver with two catches of twenty plus yards so far
Speaker 1: in the preseason, including a fifty nine yard or on
Speaker 1: his first drive. Robby Anderson already dealing with a hamstring injury,
Speaker 1: and those are Naggy and Curtis Samuel's vacated targets. Uh.
Speaker 1: That makes Terris Marshall one of my favorite plays. It
Speaker 1: was one year ago today when I unveiled John U
Speaker 1: Johnu as my sleeper of the year, and for five
Speaker 1: weeks I looked brilliant. He was five touchdowns in five weeks.
Speaker 1: He was the highest scoring tight end in many formats, right,
Speaker 1: it was all it all was brilliant for five weeks,
Speaker 1: and then he sprained his ankle, and they treated him
Speaker 1: like a blocking tight end for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: Now he goes to the Patriots and for about five hours,
Speaker 1: John U John Wu looked like he was going to
Speaker 1: go right back to the same level of love that
Speaker 1: I had for him, maybe even more then they put in.
Speaker 1: Then they signed Hunter Henry, and the people just basically
Speaker 1: wrote off John U Johnu. His average draft position right
Speaker 1: now is round fourteen. That is too low for the
Speaker 1: best receiver on the team and the best athlete on
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Josh McDaniels is lining him, lining him up
Speaker 1: all over the field, including it running back, which I
Speaker 1: love UM. And I think I mentioned this in a
Speaker 1: previous show. Here's Bill Belichick one year before signing John
Speaker 1: U Smith when they were they were meeting for a
Speaker 1: playoff game, and Belichick said this about John Nu Smith,
Speaker 1: then he's probably the best in the league. After the catch,
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is gonna use Johnu big time. Are you
Speaker 1: afraid of all your Damien Harris Sharrees losing out running back?
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind if he gives up a couple of games,
Speaker 1: a couple of each game to John U john U Um.
Speaker 1: He played not in the Thursday night game. He rested
Speaker 1: for the Thursday night game. Week before that, he had
Speaker 1: a crossing reception he broke. He broke two tackles on
Speaker 1: the play and look fantastic. It's only one play. But
Speaker 1: I don't care. John john my sleeper the week, Brian,
Speaker 1: who was yours. I'm going a little deeper with Tyron
Speaker 1: Johnson wide receiver for the Chargers right now. It looks
Speaker 1: like he'll win the third wide receiver job. But Williams
Speaker 1: always hurt for l A, it seems, and under performing.
Speaker 1: Are they converting him to a tight end though, Brian,
Speaker 1: not yet. No. They got Donald Paramatta and we talked
Speaker 1: about him. But Tyron Johnson, undrafted free agent, has scored
Speaker 1: a touchdown on his first touch for every team he's
Speaker 1: played for US since twelve years old, and that includes
Speaker 1: that the Chargers last year. His first catch? Are you serious?
Speaker 1: The first That's weird. That's what the Internet tells me.
Speaker 1: I did some fact checking on that, but uh, John
Speaker 1: got his peewee football stats. Not a ton of opportunity
Speaker 1: last year, only at twenty catches, but four hundred yards
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns on those twenty catches. We played the
Speaker 1: extrapolation game, he gets the opportunity. We're talking big time.
Speaker 1: Numbers are a definite dynasty status right now. If you
Speaker 1: got spot on your oster or no, if someone you
Speaker 1: want to keep an eye on Mike Williams doesn't pan out,
Speaker 1: Tyron Johnson is sitting. He's sitting to take that spot
Speaker 1: either through injury or incompetence on Williams park. That's that
Speaker 1: people love Williams right now, and he's getting He's getting
Speaker 1: drafted aggressively by people who just want a piece of
Speaker 1: that Chargers offensive, justin Herbert, which I can understand know's
Speaker 1: not being drafted aggressively or maybe too aggressively for us
Speaker 1: our taste. Se Kwon Barkley, where give me the spot
Speaker 1: you take se Kwon Barkley quickly in a guillotine league,
Speaker 1: not at all. Okay. In a regular league, probably mid
Speaker 1: second round, okay. I Darren Waller will be available in
Speaker 1: the second one if Barkley is there, I'm taking Waller
Speaker 1: over Barkley. So I'm just not taking Barkley. Someone else's
Speaker 1: gonna take them before I do. Third, probably the third
Speaker 1: round for me in most league. Thank you for listening
