Speaker 1: like a bottle of liquor for her dad. It's like
Speaker 1: Holess tradition. I had to go ask. And then once
Speaker 1: I got there, they're like why are you here? They
Speaker 1: were super confused, And even after I did it, they're like,
Speaker 1: we didn't think young people would do this anymore, Like
Speaker 1: they just really didn't expect it. So it was a
Speaker 1: jam Pag day. Asked them, went out to the city
Speaker 1: to flex draft with you, went back home, pulled off
Speaker 1: the proposal, and then went out to eat and dancing celebration.
Speaker 1: It was It was a good weekends. The celebration is
Speaker 1: great weekend. That's awesome, Um Craig, everyone in the chat,

Speaker 1: a thousand people there, you go. We're gonna make all
Speaker 1: the food ourselves. What are you hating for? What do
Speaker 1: you need? Four On the show today, we're gonna go
Speaker 1: over the lesser part of Frank's dag, which is the
Speaker 1: flex leage draft. We're gonna go over where the experts
Speaker 1: are taking certain players. We're gonna hit on all the
Speaker 1: major training camp news that are has broken today and
Speaker 1: has broken over the weekend. Frank, Um, anything from week
Speaker 1: one of the preseason. I'm gonna give you an opportunity
Speaker 1: to opine on because of course you weren't here last week,
Speaker 1: so you missed obviously all of that. I know you
Speaker 1: were staying abreast, um, but I want to give an
Speaker 1: opportunity to talk about any of that and then cut
Speaker 1: up a little bit later on. We too, much like Corey,
Speaker 1: have a G S T league, and we will make
Speaker 1: our selections. Frank and I are Sharon team TVFF. Who
Speaker 1: would want a championship last ye if it wasn't for
Speaker 1: the Jovis Landry. Um. But you know we're we're back
Speaker 1: for an action. I said, this is the better league.
Speaker 1: I was looking at the talent that was on that league. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we're a part of it. This is the
Speaker 1: Superstar League. Yeah, for sure. So we're gonna do that.
Speaker 1: We'll go from twelve two one, just like Corey did.
Speaker 1: We'll do that a little bit later on in the program, Uh, Frankie,
Speaker 1: before we begin. What's today's stand of the day. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I tweeted this out over the weekend. Drink that
Speaker 1: through the first nine weeks of the season, when Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott had Ezekiel Elliott in the lineup with him, he
Speaker 1: was the QB four. At that point, he was outscoring
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Cam Newton guys who we are drafting,
Speaker 1: you know, as top three, top four quarterbacks. Maybe you
Speaker 1: know rounds and six seven, you're getting Dak Prescott for nothing.
Speaker 1: Right now. He goes undrafted in a lot of draft
Speaker 1: you know, sixteen team drafts. We just did one in
Speaker 1: this past week, and the Flex draft, Dak Prescott went undrafted.
Speaker 1: I feel like he's being a little bit underappreciated this year.
Speaker 1: I think he's a fine QB two if you're playing
Speaker 1: a super flex league, and even if not, you know,
Speaker 1: we'll talk more about this once we get into like
Speaker 1: position strategy. But something that I'm going to do more
Speaker 1: of this year is I'm gonna take a veteran and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pair him with like a young upside quarterback
Speaker 1: and then just kind of like play the matchups and
Speaker 1: hope that one of those guys either breaks out or
Speaker 1: you know, you get that safe floor of a veteran
Speaker 1: and then you have that breakout ability from you know,
Speaker 1: the young upside quarterback. And I do think that Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott is in that category. So you know, if you
Speaker 1: can end up with Dak and like Philip Rivers in
Speaker 1: a super flex league or been in a one QB
Speaker 1: League and play the matchups. It's a great way to go, Greg, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so too. We talked about that a lot
Speaker 1: of race summerly last week. Marcus Mariota, Dak Prescott, two
Speaker 1: guys going essentially undrafted now that are not costing you
Speaker 1: anything to be your starting quarterbacks. Yeah. I know a
Speaker 1: lot of people are worried about Dak Prescott's weapons. He
Speaker 1: doesn't have Jason Witten anymore than two years ago either,
Speaker 1: But like, why isn't why is does Bryant not signed
Speaker 1: on his team right now? Like he wasn't great last year?
Speaker 1: And this is my point, I'm agreeing with him. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it's like it kind of goes to what we
Speaker 1: said about Stafford after Calvin Johnson retired. And don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong, Calvin Johnson was amazing, but we all had
Speaker 1: the suspicion and I think it kind of came true
Speaker 1: that once Calvin Johnson retired, Stafford got better. It was
Speaker 1: additioned by subtraction because he didn't have to just zone
Speaker 1: in on Calvin anymore. He can, you know, really read
Speaker 1: what defenses are giving to him and you know, go
Speaker 1: through his progressions. He doesn't just have to zone in
Speaker 1: on one guy. I think that's similar to Dez Bryant.
Speaker 1: And I know I feel like the Cowboys management has
Speaker 1: come out and said us that they think Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: will be better this year because Dez Bryant isn't on
Speaker 1: the team. You don't have to just force feed one
Speaker 1: receiver anymore. And they have Alan Hearns, who I think
Speaker 1: is a competent NFL receiver, Michael Gallup, a guy who
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown in the first week of the preseason,
Speaker 1: looks pretty good so far. And then they have a
Speaker 1: few young tight ends. Ezekiel Elliott is gonna catch the
Speaker 1: ball out of the backfield. He has a safety blanket
Speaker 1: in Cole Beasley. So I think it's all there for
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, you know, to be serviceable once again, and
Speaker 1: I think he's being underappreciated. Listen. I think what you're
Speaker 1: gonna see in teams a lot of rely on, rely
Speaker 1: on Ezekiel Elliott, and you know, major contributions with Cole Beasley,
Speaker 1: who I still like a little bit from Aunt Hearns,
Speaker 1: a little bit from Michael Gallup, a little bit from
Speaker 1: Terrence Williams when he gets healthy. That's it, Like I
Speaker 1: I don't know that any wide receiver on Dallas will
Speaker 1: be worth owning. Outside Cole Beasley, I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: be a big step from him. But Dak Prescott. I
Speaker 1: believe you see him running more, you'll see him being
Speaker 1: more accurate. I spect I see you from Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1: That's exactly a too. We don't. I don't think we
Speaker 1: talk enough about the rushing production that you get from Dak,
Speaker 1: and well, it's hard to predict rushing touchdowns. We saw
Speaker 1: it with guys like Kirk Cousins, the same system year
Speaker 1: in and year out, he would score at least four
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns every single year. I think Dak Prescott's the same.
Speaker 1: Once they get near that goal line, inside the tan,
Speaker 1: inside the five, you know they're gonna call some like
Speaker 1: quarterback draw players where he runs it in like he's
Speaker 1: gonna have opportunities to score some rushing touchdowns. Plus he
Speaker 1: can make plays with his legs once he gets outside
Speaker 1: the pocket. I think that only helps you know his
Speaker 1: floor for fantasy purposes as well. Eight four four eight
Speaker 1: four three six eight seven four four eight four three
Speaker 1: six eight seven nine. Before we move on to our
Speaker 1: flexible recap, and the training camp notes. I want to
Speaker 1: get to you on the phone live. Let's start with
Speaker 1: p J from Columbia. What's going on, PJ? What's going on? Fellers?
Speaker 1: How's it going? Man? It's not good? Man. I got
Speaker 1: a question to ask, yep. When you have a big
Speaker 1: piece of the offense returning like a Devin Clip due
Speaker 1: to surrounding pieces, do they drop down or do they
Speaker 1: do you think their numbers going to increase like a
Speaker 1: like a day in the feeling? Would they have a
Speaker 1: positive him or them? Or would they have a negative
Speaker 1: effect on those two receivers. So I think it's I
Speaker 1: think it's a great question right when? And I think
Speaker 1: we looked to Pittsburgh for that answer, because when you
Speaker 1: have this massive piece returning or just an adding a
Speaker 1: massive piece to the offense, what are the guys that
Speaker 1: stood out last year? Right? What about the big pieces
Speaker 1: feeling and digs? Are they affected at all by Dalvin
Speaker 1: Cook returning from injury? I would say no, I think
Speaker 1: they're adequately ranked where they're being drafted right now, which
Speaker 1: I've seen them go consistently in the third round. Now, uh,
Speaker 1: and look if you look at what the running backs
Speaker 1: did last year, between Ottavius Murray and Jack McKinnon, if
Speaker 1: you just combine those numbers and expect that kind of
Speaker 1: production out of Dalvin Cook, Like, Latavius Murray was a
Speaker 1: very serviceable running back last year, and so was Jerick
Speaker 1: McKinnon in his role. So if Dalvin Cook really just
Speaker 1: takes over what both of those guys did last season,
Speaker 1: I still think that there's enough to go around for
Speaker 1: everybody in this offense. The reason I've kind of shied
Speaker 1: away from drafting those Vikings wide receivers in the third
Speaker 1: round to this point is you don't really know who's
Speaker 1: going to be the to guy for her. Cousins will
Speaker 1: watch preseason and yes, he threw a touchdown to Stefon Diggs.
Speaker 1: He threw a nice bomb down the field which Stefon
Speaker 1: Diggs caught, and in the next play he threw a
Speaker 1: quick slant and scored the touchdowns. But I don't know
Speaker 1: that we know right now, weekend and week out, who
Speaker 1: is going to be the go to guy in this
Speaker 1: offense outside of maybe Kyle Rudolph. I think he might
Speaker 1: be the most consistent guy in the past game. It
Speaker 1: might be one week Stefon Diggs has a big game.
Speaker 1: It might be one week Adam Feeland has a big game.
Speaker 1: But to answer the question, I don't think Dalvin cook
Speaker 1: returning affects the passing game whatsoever. Absolutely love Kyle Rudolph
Speaker 1: and I listened. I like both Diggs and I like
Speaker 1: feeling too, But I agree Dalvin Cook doesn't do anything.
Speaker 1: Jered McKinnon was service will. Certainly Letabas Murray was service
Speaker 1: will as well. UM. So no, I don't think Dalvin
Speaker 1: Cook's return um hurts the value of a feeling or
Speaker 1: a Stefon Diggs. Let's continue on the phone lines and
Speaker 1: let's go to Shawn in New York. What's going on? Shanni? Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: what's up? What's happ what's happened? What's your question? It's
Speaker 1: got some fantasy advice I need from, like you guys
Speaker 1: on I'm in league pretty deep, so I know there's
Speaker 1: a lot of running back committees this year. Uh, there's
Speaker 1: only like four or five bell cout running back. Is
Speaker 1: there any running back I should target? Uh that is
Speaker 1: not in the first round? Should I? I know it
Speaker 1: depends on where I draft. Um, But so I take
Speaker 1: a high wine receiver first and then go, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe a Royce Freeman and Ronald Jones in the second round.
Speaker 1: So you're not gonna take those guys in the second round.
Speaker 1: Those are more those are picks you're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: the fourth I would say, I mean in the sixteen
Speaker 1: team league, they might push into the third, like Royce
Speaker 1: Freeman might push into the third. But I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: still thinking, do you know what your draft pick is yet?
Speaker 1: I think I'm twelve, alright, so twelve out of sixteen. Look,
Speaker 1: I'll say this, if one of Melvin Gordon, Kareem Hunt,
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, one of those who I expect to be
Speaker 1: workhorse running backs, even Leonard for Net in that category, Um,
Speaker 1: if one of those guys followed you a twelve, I
Speaker 1: have no problem taking one of those, and you really
Speaker 1: kind of secure your your bell cow running back. But again,
Speaker 1: because what's up, Corey. Corey Parson was telling me that
Speaker 1: if I'm the you know, pick one through eight, that
Speaker 1: he would take a running back, but eight or sixteen
Speaker 1: in the second half of the first round, he would
Speaker 1: take a high end receiver for production, and then I
Speaker 1: could go get a Freeman Jones in the second round.
Speaker 1: That that's why I'm looking forward for some different, you know, perspectives.
Speaker 1: It's interesting that you gotts differ on that. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: giving the different perspective because I agree with Frank and
Speaker 1: that you're gonna take the best player available. Like I know,
Speaker 1: it's a sixteen team draft. It depends on format too,
Speaker 1: is the standard or PPR standard nor running back. I
Speaker 1: don't care where you're drafting. You guys think the running back.
Speaker 1: We were in the non listen and this is a
Speaker 1: good chance for us to get into our draft over
Speaker 1: the weekend, Frank, because we were in a non PPR draft.
Speaker 1: And as I pull up the draft board here over
Speaker 1: the first twelve picks, ten of them were running backs.
Speaker 1: And then you go over the next round, there are
Speaker 1: only one, three, four or five six. The next six
Speaker 1: are running backs also, so the first twenty four picks,
Speaker 1: sixteen of twenty four we're running backs. Yeah, and a
Speaker 1: lot of guys got push up the board and it
Speaker 1: puts a lot of wide receiver value down the board.
Speaker 1: So you take that work course running back. I picked
Speaker 1: twelve regardless of who it is. I'll say this if
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, Leonard Fournett, if that whole group is gone,
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon Kareem Hunt. I'm not going to like pull
Speaker 1: DeVante Freeman or Jordan Howard into the first round there,
Speaker 1: I picked twelve, Like that is a no no. So
Speaker 1: I got to disagree with you. In the sixteen team draft,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get your shot most likely at DeVante
Speaker 1: Freeman or Jordan Howard. You're gonna have to probably take
Speaker 1: them and then and I think I would in the
Speaker 1: sixteen team format because the wide receiver that you're gonna
Speaker 1: miss out on, who is Udell Beckham DeAndre Hopkins Potentially
Speaker 1: to pull up a DeVante Freeman or Jordan Howard instead,
Speaker 1: you'll get a guy like an E. J. Green or
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs. I'd rather do that than have to worry
Speaker 1: about the running back and I get back that might
Speaker 1: be Derrick Henry Dejerrick McKinnon. If everyone is going running
Speaker 1: back heavy, that means someone's gonna get pushed out on
Speaker 1: the board, like we're gonna talk about Michael Floorio had
Speaker 1: picked twelve. He ended up taking Odell Beckham and DeAndre Hopkins.
Speaker 1: I think if I'm there and those workhorses we mentioned
Speaker 1: are already gone, I'm going to take one of those
Speaker 1: wide receivers, and then in round two in a sixteen
Speaker 1: team draft, I'm hoping I could get one of Joe
Speaker 1: Mixon somebody like that. Um, but in early that didn't
Speaker 1: even happen like it went in the middle of the
Speaker 1: second round in the twelve team draft, So so it's
Speaker 1: gonna be really close. No. I just I myself wouldn't
Speaker 1: be able to pull Jordan Howard or DeVante Freeman up
Speaker 1: the board that far just because of position scarcity. I'm
Speaker 1: still gonna take what I think is Odell Beckham or
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins that to me, would be the best player
Speaker 1: on the board at that point. I can't just look
Speaker 1: at position scarcity that far in a sixteen team leage.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the best player available. When we were
Speaker 1: when we walked out of this draft on Saturday afternoon,
Speaker 1: to us the biggest take she said, I don't want
Speaker 1: words in fresh map, but to me the biggest takeaways,
Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, I get it to a non PPR,
Speaker 1: but these running backs are absolutely flying off the board,
Speaker 1: especially with Darius Guys' injury. You knock him off a peg.
Speaker 1: And to see a guy like Joe Mixon go right
Speaker 1: in the middle of the second round, just like twelve
Speaker 1: team league. I was stunt by that, like I understood
Speaker 1: um the person Dane actually and Antonio Brown from the
Speaker 1: first so he needed a running back and the running
Speaker 1: backs were going quickly. I was shocked to see him
Speaker 1: go where he was. I was shocked to see uh
Speaker 1: McCoy go in the second round after the trouble that
Speaker 1: he's had. These running backs are absolutely flying off the boards.
Speaker 1: J Ji he goes in the middle of the third.
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller goes in the middle of the third, Like
Speaker 1: what is going on? And I took a running back.
Speaker 1: I had six pick. I took Sae Kwan Barkley in
Speaker 1: the first round, and then I just followed my board
Speaker 1: and that led me to Davante Adams and it led
Speaker 1: me to te Why Hillton, which is a great start.
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled with that. But unfortunately, the wide receivers throughout
Speaker 1: this draft were the ones that had the value. So
Speaker 1: I got three players that I have marked as a
Speaker 1: wide receiver one and Adams, Hilton and Larry FitzGeralds. I
Speaker 1: think my twelfth ran wide receiver. And because of that,
Speaker 1: my third running back, unfortunately is whoever the Colt start
Speaker 1: and now he behinds are Jordan Wilkins penning Marlon Mack's injury.
Speaker 1: That's where I struggle. I'm like, wow, I just keep
Speaker 1: taking value and then I wind up with another third
Speaker 1: running back. Yeah, and I kind of did the oppos
Speaker 1: it because I just took a bunch of running backs
Speaker 1: and I really wanted to hoard them here in this
Speaker 1: non PPR format. I saw the way that they were
Speaker 1: flying off the board, and you know, both times, really
Speaker 1: the second in the third round, I felt like that
Speaker 1: was the end of a tier coming. So I took
Speaker 1: I took Karee Hunt in the first round to pick eight,
Speaker 1: and then I took Jordan Howard in the second, and
Speaker 1: then Alex Collins there in the third. I will say
Speaker 1: I do somewhat regret not taking a wide receiver in
Speaker 1: the second round. I had my choice of Keenan, Allen, Davante, Adams,
Speaker 1: A J. Green. I think I was able to piece
Speaker 1: together wide receivers. I just took a lot of high
Speaker 1: upside shots. But something I'll continuously say, especially non PPR,
Speaker 1: I think it's easier to find breakout wide receivers on
Speaker 1: the waiver wire rather than finding those workhorse running backs,
Speaker 1: which I do consider guys like Kareem Hunt, Jordan Howard
Speaker 1: and to some extent, Alex Collin. And that's why I
Speaker 1: really regretted my decision taking Ladder Fitzgerald in the fifth round.
Speaker 1: The thing is, I thought the value of the fifth
Speaker 1: was incredible. It was, and I would have taken him
Speaker 1: two picks later if he was still available, and Jane
Speaker 1: was gonna take him one pick after me, and I
Speaker 1: thought there was no way Fitzgerald should be there. And
Speaker 1: I looked at my board and there were a ton
Speaker 1: of wide receivers that could have had my my wide
Speaker 1: receiver three that I would have been thrilled it app
Speaker 1: and then just two or three running backs really really
Speaker 1: wanted by RB three. And ultimately, even though my brains
Speaker 1: had take this running back, I could not leave the
Speaker 1: value on the board with Larry Fitzgerald. And that's why
Speaker 1: ultimately took was the right decision. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: we'll figure it out more from this draft. A draft

Speaker 1: me of what I did over the weekend at Flex Draft, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, great time. Jake a fantastic job of
Speaker 1: setting everything up and it was awesome, but it was
Speaker 1: very serious in that room, Frank like, way too serious.
Speaker 1: It's the draft started at at twelve thirty Eastern and
Speaker 1: we're sitting there. Everyone's just like all their computers, like
Speaker 1: all stoic and very very serious, and I was like,
Speaker 1: what he's going on? So I started playing some music
Speaker 1: and I some people laughed. So people give me some
Speaker 1: horrible glares. Jake's death stare was what worth it? What'll
Speaker 1: worth it? Yeah, and then I decided a little listen,
Speaker 1: everyone's so serious here. Every time I pick him and
Speaker 1: play some mus and I was all over the map,
Speaker 1: some poppy stuff like oom bap, some country music, some
Speaker 1: rock and roll, some rap. I was having there, some
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift in there, of course, some classic Greg saucepan pop.
Speaker 1: Yeah it look, I have no problem obviously. You look,
Speaker 1: we're best friends forever. We're gonna tell it like it is. Um.
Speaker 1: I like the flair that we bring to the draft,
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, at a g d D auction
Speaker 1: where we're just randomly screaming stuff out. We're trying to
Speaker 1: have a good time. Man. Fantasy is about having fun
Speaker 1: as well. That's what you need to remember. Or the
Speaker 1: GST draft, we would say f Scott with every pick
Speaker 1: we had. Yeah, so look, it was a good time.
Speaker 1: I have no problem with you, um playing the songs.
Speaker 1: Maybe you know, we didn't have to wait for like
Speaker 1: a certain part of the song to come because obviously
Speaker 1: we want to keep the draft moving. I have no
Speaker 1: problem with you playing Listen. I was not winning for
Speaker 1: a certain part of this. There were or a few
Speaker 1: times where you would play the song and you'd be like,
Speaker 1: all right, guys, we gotta wait until like the chorus
Speaker 1: hits beat drop. Yeah, of course, but there are sometimes
Speaker 1: where I was getting yelled at for taking my time
Speaker 1: because I wasn't gonna draft like things happen and they're like,
Speaker 1: you better not be picking us a Like, dude, I'm
Speaker 1: literally looking like a computer. I'm looking researching. Just hit
Speaker 1: shuffle on iTunes. Right, Yeah, we weren't actually picking songs.
Speaker 1: It was alright, I was for sure. It was only
Speaker 1: one time where I really like could not find a song,
Speaker 1: and that was that was my problem. The other times,
Speaker 1: like when I really needed the third running back, I
Speaker 1: got sniped back to back with Dan and Frank each
Speaker 1: choosing carry on Johnson and Jamal Williams. So that's what
Speaker 1: really hurts um eight four four eight four three six

Speaker 1: me go to John in New Jersey. It's up, John, Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: what's up. Welcome to the ten season. You guys helped
Speaker 1: me out a lot learned this year, so I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give you guys. All right, cool, Thank you man. What's up? Um? So,
Speaker 1: I just had a quick question. I mean, I'm sure
Speaker 1: this has been a really uh frequent question, but I
Speaker 1: got pick number five overall in the twelve team pr Um,
Speaker 1: I'm at the conundrum of whether I should pick pick
Speaker 1: up a B or pick up one of the stud
Speaker 1: running backs at that point. I've done a couple of
Speaker 1: mock drafts, and I know they don't always turn out
Speaker 1: the way. You know, obviously people auto pick and stuff
Speaker 1: like that and don't pay attention. So, um the last
Speaker 1: mock draft side that I did, I picked up a
Speaker 1: B with that pick, and uh I ended up around
Speaker 1: you know, on the second second round and on the
Speaker 1: third round turn I ended up with um Derrick McKinnon
Speaker 1: and Christian McCaffrey. Uh So I'm thinking, like it is
Speaker 1: that a good strategy to go with is to pick
Speaker 1: up a B and just take them at number five
Speaker 1: and then try to get those second and third round
Speaker 1: running backs. Hey, thank you for the call. I've consistently
Speaker 1: said at number five for me is going to be
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. I've stood solid on that. Maybe the not
Speaker 1: PBR you can make an argument to take sake on
Speaker 1: Markley as long as he's healthy. Um, but for me,
Speaker 1: it's still going to be Antonio round. I think even
Speaker 1: in PPR, I think Sae Kwon Barkley is very much
Speaker 1: so in the discussion there with the fifth healthy, Yeah
Speaker 1: for sure. He left the practice today. Uh, they were
Speaker 1: wrapping his leg. They said they don't think it's anything
Speaker 1: too severe right now. But I'm sure that the Redskins
Speaker 1: said that about Darius Guys as well. So Jarius Guys
Speaker 1: was the one that was like as well as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was not all lot and yeah that was crazy.
Speaker 1: So I mean you have to wait, Like, if you
Speaker 1: take Antonio Brown in the first what running backs are
Speaker 1: gonna end up with two three? I mean Jerk McKinnon
Speaker 1: another guy who's banged up right now. We don't know
Speaker 1: the extent of his injury either. It's clear all right,
Speaker 1: it's a muscle strain. Um, they're banged up, the Niners,
Speaker 1: but I think McKinnon should be okay. But this to
Speaker 1: me was a reminder like this dude cannot hold up
Speaker 1: for sixteen games and toy carries a game, It's not
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Yeah for sure, And that's what we've consistently said.
Speaker 1: I will say one thing. You've got Christian McCaffrey in
Speaker 1: your mock draft in the third round in a PPR,
Speaker 1: I don't think that's happening. Like if you could start
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown Christian McCaffrey in the second in PPR, I
Speaker 1: have absolutely no problem with that. Is that better than say,
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley in the first and one of like A J.
Speaker 1: Green or like Dvante Adams in the second round. I
Speaker 1: think it's close, but I think in PPR fifth overall,
Speaker 1: I'm taking Antonio Brown with you. Let's go back to
Speaker 1: the follows day four, four, four, three, six, seven nine.
Speaker 1: Matt in Oklahoma, you're up next? What's not Matt? Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: I love the show. Thanks, you got it? Now, what's up? Man?
Speaker 1: I have a ten team, two QP one point per reception.
Speaker 1: You get to keep two keepers. Keepers are Zekiel Elliott
Speaker 1: in the fourth round and keenan Now in the fifth round.
Speaker 1: Should I go? Should I take a quarterback early because
Speaker 1: I got value with them keeping them? To me? The
Speaker 1: answer is yes, And that's kind of it. Like it's
Speaker 1: a two quarterback league. He's got Zeke in the third
Speaker 1: He's got keen. Now on the fourth, do you have one?
Speaker 1: You have a wide receiver one, Now to me go
Speaker 1: and get your QB one. Yeah, I mean, obviously you
Speaker 1: know more how your league drafts, especially in the two
Speaker 1: QB format. If the quarterbacks do start flying, I have
Speaker 1: no problem using one of your first or second round
Speaker 1: picks to guarantee getting h an elite quarterback, elete level quarterback.
Speaker 1: So get you're definitely using your first round pick on Definitely.
Speaker 1: I don't know where you pick what. I'm definitely using
Speaker 1: one of my first or second because you have to
Speaker 1: remember you don't have a third or fourth or fourth
Speaker 1: or whatever it was a fourth or the fifth. You
Speaker 1: don't have that, and because of that, you may if
Speaker 1: you don't have a quarterback in the first three rounds,
Speaker 1: you have other three rounds to go. So I'm absolutely
Speaker 1: using a pick and a two quarterback League ten teams
Speaker 1: absolutely definitely one of the first two rounds. I agree
Speaker 1: with that. If you want to use your first round
Speaker 1: pick to make sure you get one of Rogers Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady cam Newton, I have no problem with that.
Speaker 1: I would say, since you have the keeper, you have
Speaker 1: to give up there your fourth and fifth round picks.
Speaker 1: I will say the first three rounds, I'm probably ending
Speaker 1: up with one quarterback, one running back, one wide receiver,
Speaker 1: and then when it comes back in round six, yes
Speaker 1: it's later on. That's when I grabbed my QB two.
Speaker 1: I think that you'll be fine because you could pair
Speaker 1: that with the elite guy whether you get you have
Speaker 1: to remember it's only a ten team league, so in
Speaker 1: the sixth round, you'll still end up with maybe like
Speaker 1: an Eli Manning or a Mitchell Trabiski, even like an
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, someone like that. And if you end up
Speaker 1: with someone better, like a Dak Prescott, then you're absolutely
Speaker 1: fine with that too. So for three picks, I'm taking
Speaker 1: a quarterback, maybe a running back, wide receiver in one
Speaker 1: of those two rounds two, three, and then you have
Speaker 1: Zeke and Keenan Allen in the fourth and fifth. I
Speaker 1: think that's a perfect way to start four, three, six, eight, seven, nine.
Speaker 1: Malick in Arizona, you're up National. I allt hey, fellows,
Speaker 1: I got a question about PPR that I'm in the
Speaker 1: twelve team league, in the two team league, and uh,
Speaker 1: we get to keep two. So there's four guys that
Speaker 1: I was looking at the keep, but I think I've
Speaker 1: never did down to three and so I don't have
Speaker 1: a question about that. The three guys are O b
Speaker 1: j uh, Ezekia Elliott, and Melvin Gordon, and I figured
Speaker 1: that the constance this would be to keep Elliott and
Speaker 1: O b J. But I just wanted to check in
Speaker 1: with you guys about that. And also one last thing, Uh, Frank,
Speaker 1: are you gonna do any PPR videos as far as
Speaker 1: you know when you picked from the number one, number two,
Speaker 1: number three like you did before with the regular standard draft,
Speaker 1: because those were outstanding and if you can do PPR
Speaker 1: that'd be incredible. Yeah. So just I guess in aside,
Speaker 1: something I should mention at the top of these video
Speaker 1: is this any time, if we don't mention what format
Speaker 1: we're doing, the default is half PPR. That's what we
Speaker 1: automatically default too. I think that's becoming more and more
Speaker 1: of the standard and fantasy football. So I automatically mock
Speaker 1: and do those videos two half point PPR. But if
Speaker 1: you guys really want, I could do a full point
Speaker 1: PPR one. If that helps you out more, just let
Speaker 1: me know what draft picks. I know I did a
Speaker 1: lot of those last months, so I might start doing
Speaker 1: like Redux videos, like redoing them now because a lot
Speaker 1: has changed a lot of those videos. I'm taking Darius, guys,
Speaker 1: someone who's out for then I probably should finish as well.
Speaker 1: But just to let you guys know, I automatically default
Speaker 1: to half PPR, and to answer your question, I would
Speaker 1: start Ezekiel Elliott, Odell Beckham. I don't think it's much
Speaker 1: of a question. Melvin Gordon. We do like him a lot,
Speaker 1: but I think you start with that balance, that elite
Speaker 1: running back, elite wide receiver. I love starting there, Zeke
Speaker 1: and O b j A right there, you go ahead,
Speaker 1: you Yeah, we appreciate the call. I appreciate you watching
Speaker 1: as well. Let's do another call. Let's go to John
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. What's up, John? Expect you very much taking
Speaker 1: my call. You got it? Um. The question I had
Speaker 1: this is the Doncy League, UH talk people pp R.
Speaker 1: I had the one point six to one point seven picks.
Speaker 1: How it went was Barkley went first, and then the
Speaker 1: five quarterbacks went saying Arnold, Josh, Rosen, Baker, Mayfield, sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, three yeah, and then it went Penny and
Speaker 1: then I had the next two picks, and that's thought.
Speaker 1: Like guys, I took him there because, like I said,
Speaker 1: the Doncy League, and who what what? Who would you
Speaker 1: took there? When was was the draft of four after
Speaker 1: the injury? It was after So I wouldn't have taken guys,
Speaker 1: because I understand it the Dynasty League. But you two
Speaker 1: are very unpredictable. I mean, and we we get it.
Speaker 1: That technology is so much better and rehabbing so much
Speaker 1: um more detailed. You know what you're getting. You should
Speaker 1: be fine, But I'm not gonna be able to take
Speaker 1: a player coming off with tourn a c L. I'd
Speaker 1: ever seen him play a game. It's not it's I
Speaker 1: hate using that I never played a game before, but
Speaker 1: he's never played the game before and he tours a
Speaker 1: c L. Um. He also meant it toward his m
Speaker 1: c L. That's a lot of damage in that knee.
Speaker 1: I could not have pulled the trigger there in all honesty.
Speaker 1: Um So for me, if I had your pick, I
Speaker 1: probably go Royce Freeman. I guess I think he was
Speaker 1: the first name that popped into my mind. Um, so
Speaker 1: I probably would have. Sorry. I also took him because
Speaker 1: I had the next two picks. I had the one
Speaker 1: point six from one point seven, I took always Freeman
Speaker 1: there and then I took Okay, So who are you
Speaker 1: taking guys? I think I think you have to. As
Speaker 1: I put my rankings here, I think harry On Johnson's
Speaker 1: obviously the the other name at the running back position
Speaker 1: Zones Ronald Jones too. Yeah, I don't think I take
Speaker 1: guys yea out, No worries, Frank what you're taking guys,
Speaker 1: I think it's very close. I don't think it's as
Speaker 1: much of a slam dunk as you're making an out
Speaker 1: scene because for Dynasty, like, there is pedigree there for
Speaker 1: Darius guys. And I do agree with you in that regard, Like,
Speaker 1: if you're trying to compete this year, I probably take
Speaker 1: two running backs se can help me. But if you're
Speaker 1: closer to a rebuilding team and you're looking more down
Speaker 1: the road, you wanted to use one of those picks
Speaker 1: on Darius guys. I don't think I really have a
Speaker 1: problem with it. It also comes down to too roster construction,
Speaker 1: like if you need wide receivers, then you're pulling some
Speaker 1: guys up the board there too, like a DJ Moore
Speaker 1: or Michael Gallup. But I think in a vacuum, I'm
Speaker 1: probably going Roy's Freeman. It's closer now between Ronald Jones
Speaker 1: and carry On Johnson. I'll probably take Carrion Johnson. Yeah,
Speaker 1: in the Dynasty, I think so too. I think the
Speaker 1: Dynasty as well. I would also take Um carry On Johnson. Um.
Speaker 1: Speaking of carry On Johnson, he was somebody that was
Speaker 1: really hoping UM as our draft unfolded on Saturday afternoon,
Speaker 1: that I would wind up getting and instead you grab
Speaker 1: carry On Johnson Um in the sixth round. You're just
Speaker 1: buying him at the hype. The he's now surrounding him.
Speaker 1: I know, even Kerry On Johnson guy before first preseason game,
Speaker 1: he's certainly got a lot more people's radars. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm in on Kerry On Johnson. You know, I was
Speaker 1: talking to Florio about it after the draft. He said,
Speaker 1: I was surprised that you took karry On Johnson over
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams. Jamal Williams also scored a touchdown in the
Speaker 1: first week of the preseason. But you know, similar to
Speaker 1: the Lions, I think there's a lot of mouths to
Speaker 1: feed with the Packers. Like, while Jamal Williams is handling
Speaker 1: a lot of the early down duties. I think once
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones is there, I think it's gonna be more
Speaker 1: of a committee approach. It could be, you know, one
Speaker 1: series for this guy, one series for Aaron Jones. We
Speaker 1: know time on Gummery is gonna be used on third downs.
Speaker 1: I just think harry On Johnson I look. The more
Speaker 1: and more I think about it, I really like the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions offensive line. I think they're going to be
Speaker 1: great this season. And I do think that while Jim
Speaker 1: Bob Cooter is still there, I think Mapestris are coming in.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be more of a balanced offense
Speaker 1: this year. So while the garribone is there, I I'm
Speaker 1: not really worried about him. Like this team traded up
Speaker 1: in the second round to draft carry On Johnson. He
Speaker 1: looked very good in that first preseason game. If you
Speaker 1: saw that run, that great run that he had where
Speaker 1: you know, he bounced off the defender made a spin move.
Speaker 1: Ultimately the run didn't count because there was a holding penalty,
Speaker 1: but he looked phenomenal in that game. I like the
Speaker 1: offensive line, balanced approach coming. Uh, plenty of reasons to
Speaker 1: like carry On Johnson. Maybe he doesn't, you know, score
Speaker 1: to may touchdowns early on in the season, but I
Speaker 1: think before long he'sn't. He ends up getting fifteen to
Speaker 1: eighteen touches a game. Maybe it's a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: into the season, but I'm not worried about years past
Speaker 1: with the lines. I'm projecting forward and I'm very excited
Speaker 1: about carry On carry On Johnson, Jamal Williams two names
Speaker 1: and went back to back in our draft. Now Jamal Williams.
Speaker 1: I get why he's rising, especially in leagues where running
Speaker 1: backs are flying off the board. You're looking for a
Speaker 1: starter with Aaron Jones hurt. I know he's back at
Speaker 1: practice time Montgomery really seeming just like the PPR guy.
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams is the one that's running with the starters.
Speaker 1: He's saying the most snatched the starters and at least
Speaker 1: are the first two weeks, is going to be the
Speaker 1: starting running back? Are you buying Jamal Williams hype as well? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I like this range that he's going in in
Speaker 1: the sixth round, especially in the standard league. I think
Speaker 1: that's fine value. I know I just spoke about carry
Speaker 1: On Johnson for Jamal Williams. But I have these guys
Speaker 1: ranked back to back, actually back to back to back
Speaker 1: in my ranking thirty. My standard is crow Well, carry
Speaker 1: On Johnson, and Jamal Williams, and I think they're all
Speaker 1: fine value in the sixth round, so I think you
Speaker 1: continue to get them there. Anytime you can get a
Speaker 1: Packers running back in that Aaron Rodgers offense, there's gonna
Speaker 1: be opportunities four touchdowns. Again, worry a little bit about
Speaker 1: the committee there. And personally, I think Aaron Jones is
Speaker 1: the most talented running back, but the team seems to
Speaker 1: be very invested in Jamal Williams right now, so I
Speaker 1: think he's the guy um. But me personally, I think
Speaker 1: Carrie On Johnson has a little bit more upside. That's
Speaker 1: why I having ranked one spot higher. Greg. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: also have them back to back in my rankings. I think, dude,
Speaker 1: I have yeah, Carrion Johnson twenty seven and Jamal Williams
Speaker 1: twenty eight. There you go, what do you what do
Speaker 1: you have them? I have twenty eight? Is Crowell twenty nine,
Speaker 1: carry On Johnson thirty Jamal Ways, that's so funny, So
Speaker 1: it's Curl twenty six, Johnson twenty seven, Williams twenty eight
Speaker 1: for me, So we're kind of very close like that,
Speaker 1: we're in range. I's so weird. I have one spot
Speaker 1: ahead of Crowell expert has one spot ahead of Kroll
Speaker 1: for me, he's on the same page. He's at number
Speaker 1: twenty five. Yeah, so who do you have ahead of
Speaker 1: berkend We might as well just keep going now, might
Speaker 1: as well. I have Marshawn Lynch, Marshall Lynch one spot
Speaker 1: ahead of Birkenad. This is weird. So this is where
Speaker 1: will differ. That's twenty three world differ for me? Who
Speaker 1: do you have one spot of Marshall Lynch? Say, we
Speaker 1: didn't plan this. This is weird. I gotta keep going now.
Speaker 1: You do a lot of shows together, we do, all right.
Speaker 1: I know for a fact you don't have this next player,
Speaker 1: Lama Lamar Miller, because you're like, oh, I have Lamar
Speaker 1: Miller in the forties and move him up now. Even
Speaker 1: after his spry preseason appearance, you didn't know are you
Speaker 1: gonna No, You're just so out of Mama Miller. So
Speaker 1: now I don't know. Lamar Miller is one of those guys.
Speaker 1: So we had what two guys differing there's Lamar Miller
Speaker 1: is one of them. I wonder the other one is
Speaker 1: you have Lamar Miller at twenty four and then have
Speaker 1: Marking Room at twenty three. Yeah, so that's the interesting one.
Speaker 1: So we have to update the sook. I'm gonna end
Speaker 1: up ropping Ronald Jones a little bit. Same. So I
Speaker 1: I had Royce Freeman eighteen and Ronald Jones at nineteen.
Speaker 1: I might have to fix that. Um I have mark
Speaker 1: I have mark Ingram at nine, and I kind of
Speaker 1: like that spot for him, Um I could I was
Speaker 1: playing round today, I may move him up a bit.
Speaker 1: Um as of now, like I said, he's at twenty nine.
Speaker 1: He's an interesting one too, yeah, Mike, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're talking about you haven't at twenty nine. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: might drop him down a little bit just because that
Speaker 1: those first four games, Like normally you want to get
Speaker 1: off to a hot start in fantasy football, and and
Speaker 1: unless you start with maybe two running backs and you
Speaker 1: get mark Ingram in the fourth or fifth round, then
Speaker 1: you could kind of swallow the blow. But you know,
Speaker 1: I do have him ranked ahead of some guys here
Speaker 1: who project to be the starters for their team's Lamar Miller,
Speaker 1: j H I Marshawn Lynch, So maybe I dropped them
Speaker 1: behind those guys, but I do still like him in
Speaker 1: that like late fourth early fifth round range, especially in
Speaker 1: the non PPR standards in our flex league. Mark Ingram
Speaker 1: went the last pick in the fourth round. Then after
Speaker 1: I think that's a good I think that's a good value.
Speaker 1: I think that's perfect where you can totally agree. So
Speaker 1: I chose Mark. I chose Marshawn Lynch over him, mainly
Speaker 1: because I saw a hilarious interview with Marshall Lynch. This
Speaker 1: guys invest that I'm in um, so I'll do the
Speaker 1: SIXTR touchdown. So he looked fast on that plane. He
Speaker 1: looks good, he looks in and he plays himself in
Speaker 1: shape too. So I like Mark Marshall Lynch just slightly better,
Speaker 1: as it just raised the rankings slightly better. Uh then
Speaker 1: mark Ingram. I was hoping to get Ingram on the
Speaker 1: way back him or Royce Freeman. Who It's funny, it's
Speaker 1: not PVRs. It was a little bit different. That's why
Speaker 1: I had Lynch. Took Lynch ahead of a Royce Freeman. Um,
Speaker 1: but I was hoping it one of those two guys
Speaker 1: in the way back, and then Burkehead was the one
Speaker 1: that was there and I just didn't pull the trigger.
Speaker 1: Rex Burkhead. We knew he would fly off the boards.
Speaker 1: Are he's surprised to see him and hardly go in
Speaker 1: the fifth It's very early, even in a non PPR.
Speaker 1: But the Patriots are gonna be incredibly frustrating this year.
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle, Yes, he had the knees rain, but they
Speaker 1: used the first round pick. At some point. He's gonna
Speaker 1: get some work this season. So fifth round for me,
Speaker 1: even in a non PPR where you want the running
Speaker 1: backs a little bit too early. I think burke Head
Speaker 1: more of a solid sixth round pick maybe in that
Speaker 1: carry on Johnson Jamal Williams drank right, We'll take a break.

Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm not even I'm going to talk to

Speaker 1: draft picks for the GSC draft, should we ask people
Speaker 1: the way we pull the ducks out one to twelve.
Speaker 1: That's the friends he did, and I want to they
Speaker 1: did it for g ST one. I thought G S
Speaker 1: T T you should be the same. Um, I think
Speaker 1: it's more more drama. Sorry you disagree, No making. I
Speaker 1: was just gonna ask. I know some people in the
Speaker 1: who are watching right now are in the draft, so
Speaker 1: maybe they would have, you know, an opinion on it.
Speaker 1: Because someone's gonna make the call. Some one's gotta make
Speaker 1: the call to making the call. That's why you're an
Speaker 1: executive now, Greg, and you're making the call to eight
Speaker 1: four four, four, three six eight seven nights. Before we
Speaker 1: get to the g S T we get to Stephen
Speaker 1: in massachesus. What's up, Steve? Hey, what's up are you doing?
Speaker 1: I'm doing great? You what's going on? I'll do IM good.
Speaker 1: I had a few questions. Uh so with the Darius
Speaker 1: Sky's injury. How far up is Chris Thompson gonna be
Speaker 1: pulled up? And like the rounds as far as like
Speaker 1: a DP like uh, because I have a draft probably
Speaker 1: within the next couple of weeks, and I was just
Speaker 1: wondering how far up is he gonna be on the board.
Speaker 1: And then I have another question, if you have time, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we have time to hang one second, let me get
Speaker 1: to christomps at first. I think it's great question, a
Speaker 1: fair question, and we dealt with this hours after we're
Speaker 1: really twenty four hours after the after their young at
Speaker 1: the Dareus guys news broke and there's a non PPR
Speaker 1: league and in our non PVR league, Chris Thompson went
Speaker 1: in the early seventh round in a half point PPR.
Speaker 1: I have Thompson ranked as my thirty running back off
Speaker 1: the board right now, and I feel okay with him there, Frank,
Speaker 1: I think where he went is appropriate. In the seventh round.
Speaker 1: He was drafted as the thirty five thirty six RB
Speaker 1: off the board, and I currently have him ranked as
Speaker 1: my RB thirty five in standard non PPR, so I
Speaker 1: think that's appropriate value going in the early to mid
Speaker 1: seventh round. I'm not pulling him up the draft board.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are gonna say, oh, well, Chris Thompson,
Speaker 1: look at what he did last year. He's gonna be
Speaker 1: the starter. He's gonna get all these touches. Remember, he
Speaker 1: is a smaller running back. He is a guy who
Speaker 1: he can't really operate with more than ten to twelve
Speaker 1: touches per game. And I'm not going to predict or
Speaker 1: project him to be that way because he's been injury prone.
Speaker 1: He's already come out on record said he might not
Speaker 1: be until November. So I think ten to twelve touches
Speaker 1: in that range you get him in like the seventh round,
Speaker 1: maybe as your RB three or your RB four as
Speaker 1: your flex. I think that's appropriate value. But I don't
Speaker 1: think he gets more much more than twelve touches of game. Greg,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I agree, But where do you have in
Speaker 1: your half point PVR and your PVR. We just don't
Speaker 1: get it PVR, your half on PVR, so half point PPR.
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at some names I might push him
Speaker 1: ahead of. He would be ahead of Sony Michelle. Um,
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be much higher. He's going to be in
Speaker 1: that thirty range. He's gonna be. I think he's like
Speaker 1: a flex running back. I wouldn't want him as my
Speaker 1: RB three, maybe my RB four. But that's just me
Speaker 1: being picky, right, fair, fair enough? Um, what's your other question, Steve? Alright,
Speaker 1: So I noticed that when I lead a couple of
Speaker 1: different times that there's been like some guys that have
Speaker 1: like bad seasons and some guys like they like take
Speaker 1: him away from their board, Like you remember how like
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, Like, uh, it was around the same time
Speaker 1: as Todd Gurley came out into the league and here
Speaker 1: he was doing his thing, and Melvin Gordon like everybody
Speaker 1: didn't like him in that following year, like he had
Speaker 1: that breakout season. Like I was just wondering, like, who
Speaker 1: was from guys that like had like bad seasons last
Speaker 1: year that that I might get to like a decent
Speaker 1: value as far as like if my people that are
Speaker 1: in my league that might not consider like them on
Speaker 1: that board. I think So Steve's two or two with
Speaker 1: questions today. I think it's a great question. Right, we
Speaker 1: always say who's the video years Todd Gurley and him
Speaker 1: asking listen, who's this year's Melvin Gordon. I think it's
Speaker 1: a good question too, And I mean, there's one name
Speaker 1: who I don't necessarily like, but there's one thing that
Speaker 1: obviously comes to mind. I think it's Joe Mixon exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think Joe Mixon has that pedigree of a second
Speaker 1: round pick, an early round pick by the Chargers that's
Speaker 1: yard per carry were down, that didn't get in the
Speaker 1: ends of nearly as much as we thought he would.
Speaker 1: Would it surprise anybody if because this goal line guy
Speaker 1: that gets close to double digit touchdowns that really turns
Speaker 1: it around, but the yards per carry stay relatively low. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think it was would, And that's why Joe
Speaker 1: Mixon's going uh in the middle to late second round
Speaker 1: right now. I don't know that he has Todd Gurley potential,
Speaker 1: but I think Melvin Gordon maybe a better parallel to him.
Speaker 1: The only thing I'll say about that, which is annoying
Speaker 1: right now is that all the value in Joe Mixon
Speaker 1: is being sucked out of him, which real annoying. You
Speaker 1: have to draft him in that mid to late second
Speaker 1: round right now, you like you're drafting him for what
Speaker 1: we expect to be his ceiling. Is he gonna perform
Speaker 1: like a first round pick and end up in the
Speaker 1: first round next year. Yeah, there's always a chance, but
Speaker 1: I just think Jeo Bernard's gonna be involved. There still
Speaker 1: some question marks with the Bengals offensive line in their offense. Overall,
Speaker 1: I think he will be better, for sure, But in
Speaker 1: the second round, you're really really drafting him for his ceiling,
Speaker 1: or that's what it feels like to me. I'll throw
Speaker 1: another name out there, someone who burned a lot of
Speaker 1: fantasy owners last year, who they might just say, look,
Speaker 1: this guy's off my board. And as I say, you
Speaker 1: do have to worry with the concussion. Now see what
Speaker 1: happens for the rest of the preseason. But based on
Speaker 1: what we saw in that first preseason game, Greg Jeff,
Speaker 1: we're using him in ways that the Browns never did.
Speaker 1: You lined him up outside as a wide receiver, he
Speaker 1: called the ball and he scored a touch on on
Speaker 1: a very just play at the goal line. That's something
Speaker 1: you always have to worry about Croll his running style.
Speaker 1: But I think that the Jets are gonna use him
Speaker 1: in ways that we've never seen the Browns do. But
Speaker 1: to that point, did it concern you that Blah Powell
Speaker 1: was the one that started that game. Now Isaiah Crowell,
Speaker 1: I don't put much stock into that. I think, look,
Speaker 1: if you draft Isaiah Crowell six seven rounds later, just
Speaker 1: draft Ball Powell if that's something that worries you, if
Speaker 1: you just want to handcuff the Jets backfield. But I
Speaker 1: do think that they signed Crowel for a reason, and
Speaker 1: the way that they're talking about him and Camp being
Speaker 1: able to catch the ball out of the backfield to
Speaker 1: get him in the six seventh round right now, I
Speaker 1: think it's great value. As we're talking about these flex leagues,
Speaker 1: I do want to note that Frank actually practice what
Speaker 1: he preached, and I think you deserve credit for that
Speaker 1: because not people say a lot of stuff on these shows. Uh,
Speaker 1: you actually did it right, even kind of on this
Speaker 1: Jordan Reed badwagon, Uh the entire summer thus far. You
Speaker 1: draft the Jordan Reed in the ninth round as tight
Speaker 1: and nice to listen. I'm gonna do it, and I'll
Speaker 1: just take Vernon Davis in the last round. Well, he's
Speaker 1: taking the second last round, our thirds last round, rather um,
Speaker 1: and you nailed it. So he's Jordan Rein. He took
Speaker 1: Vernie Davis. You're going with it. Quarterback wise, he waited.
Speaker 1: He took quarterback ten out the ward Ben Roethlisberger, and
Speaker 1: then came back quarterback thirteen, two picks. Three picks later,
Speaker 1: I went up drafting Patty Mahomes. So again really sticking
Speaker 1: your word there. Yeah, and I'm going to continue to
Speaker 1: talk about this. Look if you don't end up with
Speaker 1: an elite quarterback or Andrew Luck, because I do like
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck a lot. But the way that the draft
Speaker 1: played out here is I waited on wide receiver, so
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck went at the seven eight swing. He actually
Speaker 1: went to Michael Florio. I couldn't pull the trigger in
Speaker 1: the seventh round because I wanted Randall Cobb. I needed
Speaker 1: to continue to take some shots on upside wide receiver.
Speaker 1: But normally in the seventh round, I love that value
Speaker 1: on Andrew Luck. If I don't get him, I'm gonna wait,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna pair one of these veteran quarterbacks with
Speaker 1: a high upside guy and hopefully play the matchups. It
Speaker 1: could be frustrating at times throughout the year, but this
Speaker 1: is how I won some championships last year in the
Speaker 1: Flex League. Last season I won the championship. My quarterbacks
Speaker 1: were case Keenum and Jameis Winston come Week sixteen. In
Speaker 1: my homely last year, my quarterback ended up being Ben
Speaker 1: roethlis Burger and Blake Bortles. So things are gonna happen
Speaker 1: throughout the year. But you take a shot on an
Speaker 1: upside guy on Patty Mahomes, great weapons and then Big
Speaker 1: Ben to me, he's he's my QB five ranks right now.
Speaker 1: Greg like he he had amazing weapons last year, and
Speaker 1: they added James Washington to that team and they still
Speaker 1: have a great offensive line. So I'm gonna continue to
Speaker 1: do that with the quarterback position. And then Jordan Read.
Speaker 1: I took him over Trey Burton. Getting a little bit
Speaker 1: worried about Trey Burton now because they're they're talking of
Speaker 1: Adam Shaheen more and more. He was involved in that
Speaker 1: preseason game, and I just think that there are a
Speaker 1: lot of mouths to feed in Chicago. So I still
Speaker 1: do like Trey Burton, but I moved him down a
Speaker 1: little bit. I will firmly take Jordan Read ahead of
Speaker 1: him and then just take Vernon Davis last pick in
Speaker 1: the draft. I grabbed my quarterback in our flex lee draft.
Speaker 1: I grabbed Cam Newton in the seventh Um, I thought
Speaker 1: value exactly. I was just looking seeing where the quarterbacks
Speaker 1: are going. I really really like almost pulled the trigger
Speaker 1: on Nelson Agilore there. Given Aushan Jeffrey we heard he
Speaker 1: make started the publish, which means as going to the
Speaker 1: top receiver in Philadelphia. I almost pulled the trigger there.
Speaker 1: I just I just didn't want another wide receiver at
Speaker 1: that point. There's no running back. I really wanted so
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. And you know most of my my top
Speaker 1: five were gone other than Cam Newton or Rad you'
Speaker 1: luck we're still there. Who's five? But um, I ran
Speaker 1: up grabbing Newton there, and I thought the value was good,
Speaker 1: and that's why I did that. Yeah, and I agree
Speaker 1: with what you did because again, Am Newton. For me,
Speaker 1: that's the end of a tier exactly. I think the
Speaker 1: top tier is those four quarterbacks I haven't ranked right now.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. I moved Tom Brady ahead of Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: I'm worried about the Doug Balldam thing right now, so
Speaker 1: I just dropped him one spot. I think Brady was
Speaker 1: a little bit safer, but Russell Wilson third and then
Speaker 1: Cam Newton fourth. I think that in itself is one tier,
Speaker 1: and you got the end of the tier right there.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. All right, we got about tell
Speaker 1: me that's so left. That's the GST draft. So the
Speaker 1: GST in general is a high stakes league, and I
Speaker 1: was told not an experts league. It is like both worlds,
Speaker 1: best of both worlds. At the GST, there's two leagues.
Speaker 1: There's an overall champion. We participated last year all three
Speaker 1: BFFs uh, and we made the playoffs, had an awesome,
Speaker 1: awesome run. Unfortunately came to an end this year. We
Speaker 1: want more, alright, Greggy, so you're opening up, you will
Speaker 1: be up all right. Here we go. He's not looking
Speaker 1: fumbling in there. Looks like Tike barber back. Is the
Speaker 1: number twelve pick. The number of twelve pick in the
Speaker 1: g S. T two goes to the mail man, Rock Cafferty.
Speaker 1: The mailman A right, when I know Ron Cafferty was
Speaker 1: in here watching earlier on alright, hang on, alright, one, two, three, four, nine,
Speaker 1: eleven and twelve. Alright, Rock Cafferty, congratulations, you have number twelve,
Speaker 1: which means at number eleven, we're using the ducks. We're
Speaker 1: spinning it alive, and we go. This is that this
Speaker 1: is the this is the person right there then has
Speaker 1: number eleven and number eleven, but just fed. All right,
Speaker 1: we participate against in the g ST Baseball draft, and
Speaker 1: I know he is a rock solid competitor who the
Speaker 1: man every single season. This is a tough league, man, Alright,
Speaker 1: we mix it up, We mix it up, We mix
Speaker 1: it up. Here we go, number ten. This is it.
Speaker 1: This is number ten, and number ten in the draft
Speaker 1: goes to the closer, Chris. I wonder if you get
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo pick ten. I don't know, ten overall tough
Speaker 1: pick one. By the way, Greg, I don't know. Man.
Speaker 1: I hope you didn't spit it too hard in the
Speaker 1: names fell off and theyn't fell off, then wherever's left? Obviously, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would be great. Actually this name did fall off
Speaker 1: right there? Whoever that is? So whatever that whatever that
Speaker 1: name is is an empty duck. That's the one it is.
Speaker 1: It sounds like someone didn't do a good job here.
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, I don't want to pick this one.
Speaker 1: Put Tavid back off, tab back on. I don't want
Speaker 1: to look. I don't want to look at it. I
Speaker 1: don't want to look. We just noticed came off and
Speaker 1: we're all good now. Man is twelve, Fen is eleven.
Speaker 1: I don't want to rip it though, and Ventra is ten.
Speaker 1: It's our gst live draft. August eleven, a m. Eastern
Speaker 1: time at the Grenned Street Tavern. People absolutely now to
Speaker 1: hang out, saying home of the best buffalo chicken never
Speaker 1: the world. What they're not supposed to see? Who? No,
Speaker 1: I don't don't. I don't you can see because when
Speaker 1: you're not picking it, just don't tell me who it is.
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to. Really, you
Speaker 1: flubbed this one up. I flow like I take them
Speaker 1: all down. Yeah, well you didn't do a very good job,
Speaker 1: because now I can't get it out. All right, you
Speaker 1: got that? Don't tell me who it is? And I
Speaker 1: don't know that's not it. You gotta grab a duck
Speaker 1: that doesn't have a name on it? What did you
Speaker 1: do here? Grab me? What did I do? I don't
Speaker 1: see a duck without a name one of them does? Oh,
Speaker 1: all right, don't that. Don't even tell me who it is.
Speaker 1: I don't want to know what it is. All all right,
Speaker 1: all right, here we go. All right, I think we're
Speaker 1: back in here. We probably gonna miss up once again.
Speaker 1: Put we missed up one again. I'm gonna pick that
Speaker 1: guy right now. All right, here we go, No, don't, don't, Yes,
Speaker 1: yes it is. That's hilarious. All right, here we go
Speaker 1: at number nine. Billy Hayes here, Billy Hayes here, you
Speaker 1: can number nine when who Billy likes this year? Find out?
Speaker 1: All right, Billy is is number nine, which means at
Speaker 1: number eight you get Frank Momola. That's not me, that's
Speaker 1: not that's another Frank. Let's just keep rising, Frankie. I
Speaker 1: really want to be top four at this point, and
Speaker 1: I would like to be that, But instead I think
Speaker 1: this is us. To be honest, it looks like it's
Speaker 1: retaped at number seven. It's should be a fast at
Speaker 1: least I'm not. You know, I clearly didn't cheat. What
Speaker 1: you suck at this Greig, I wanted to. I'm not
Speaker 1: top four in any draft. The mint Man sucks. I know.
Speaker 1: Pick seven, who are we gonna get? Well, we'll be
Speaker 1: picking right after Chuck. Who's pick number six? Who the
Speaker 1: heck is Chuck Truck Truck. It's like Chuck who Chuck?
Speaker 1: Maybe you can move up, maybe you chage draft XS
Speaker 1: move up. Yeah, we'll shop. I mean, no doubt anyone's
Speaker 1: gonna want to give a top four pick for seven.
Speaker 1: Well maybe it they'll do. Or pick five because that's
Speaker 1: Adam roonus. What are the odds that Adam No, he's
Speaker 1: not gonna do it. He won't take See Kwon Barkley
Speaker 1: at five a full point ppr'll one everywhere? Am I whatever?
Speaker 1: Not gonna get him at seven? You know he may
Speaker 1: you might. Oh we'll get one of him or tomorrow.
Speaker 1: That's fun, alright, alright? Pick seven. Pick four is Brian Ambos,
Speaker 1: Big Brian Bryan Ambos at number four, which leads us
Speaker 1: to number three Top three pick this player Tammy Pardu,
Speaker 1: good old Tammy, which means either number one is either
Speaker 1: Christopher Carro. This is so rigged, it's so rude. We
Speaker 1: would have had first pick number two. You were texting
Speaker 1: with Christopher car I saw it was number two in
Speaker 1: the draft. CTM Baseball's Matt Modica, which means number one
Speaker 1: is the owner the GST. The owner of the GST
Speaker 1: gets the first overall pick. How did that work out?
Speaker 1: And there you go? That is the order for a
Speaker 1: GST draft rank. I have zero top four picks all
Speaker 1: freaking you know. I'm excited now because you reminded me
Speaker 1: that seventh pick in PPR is not bad. We're guaranteed
Speaker 1: one of Antonio Brown or Kwon Barkley and the PPR
Speaker 1: that's beautiful. Do you want to be top seven? Man? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's awesome. Bell get an elite wide receiver in
Speaker 1: the second round hopefully seven, where I want to be.
Speaker 1: You will at least get a J. Green or Davante Adams. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be great. We're gonna crush the ground.
Speaker 1: I don't want a J. Green. No, I'm fine, like
Speaker 1: I want. I agree with you. I have Davanta Adams
Speaker 1: ranked higher. We'll get one of those. To me, that's
Speaker 1: like the end of that. I'm gonna a little upset
Speaker 1: of we're not getting Keenan Allen at whatever it is
Speaker 1: to six? Can we trade down? No nose now? Now,
Speaker 1: I won't want to take Kwon Barkley or album come,
Speaker 1: but I want Keenan Allen really badly? Do you realize
Speaker 1: I started my flexilely draft? Adds to say, Parkly, The
Speaker 1: thing is, what position do you have to trade to
Speaker 1: to ensure that you get probably ten probably, so would
Speaker 1: you go back. But the thing is, you know guy's fault,
Speaker 1: like you don't want to lock yourself into saying, oh,
Speaker 1: I want Keenan now in the second round, and then
Speaker 1: someone better falls, like a Michael Thomas or you know,
Speaker 1: maybe a running back like Dalvin Cook, and then yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll see you end up taking that guy. We'll see.
Speaker 1: I just I hope we don't. We don't wind up
Speaker 1: starting in sat Quanta Devanta Addams the same way I
Speaker 1: started flex. That is annoying because I've had a few
Speaker 1: of the same spots in best Ball drafts and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to start my best ball dress the
Speaker 1: same exact way. But you do your best players? Did
Speaker 1: you do Whiteboard series pick seven yet? I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: I think someone was asking me to do five, which
Speaker 1: was what I was gonna do today. Go'll be doing
Speaker 1: seven if you haven't done that yet, I might have
Speaker 1: done seven already. Well, if you're just saying if you haven't,
Speaker 1: you really doing seven? You know what's funny? Um I
Speaker 1: had picked eight in the electraft. Over the weekend, I
Speaker 1: went back to like watch my videos to see like
Speaker 1: how did I take when I when I had pick
Speaker 1: eight and I haven't done eight. I think I did
Speaker 1: right around it. I think I've done seven and nine already.
Speaker 1: Frank's Whiteboard video with another one coming out later today.
Speaker 1: We want to thank you watch for watching The Fantasy
Speaker 1: best Friends Forever. The draft order is set for the
Speaker 1: g S T. If you're coming out, we will see
Speaker 1: you on August twenty fifth, live at the Grennin Street
Speaker 1: Tavern for Frankie Staville. My name is Grex Susman. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much for watching The Fantasy best Friends Forever.
