Speaker 1: host this week are Scott Fish and Matt Harrison. Hello, gentlemen, Hello, Hi.

7
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: Excited to get everybody ready for drafts and auctions. It's

8
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: getting closer. Feeling heating up now. Normally this would have

9
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: been the first weekend with preseason games. We don't have that.

10
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: It's okay. I was hated doing those preseason recaps anyway,

11
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: especially after the first game when you know, nothing happens.

12
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: The starters played one this this third string running back

13
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: really popped off in this game. Yeah, but that's not

14
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: to say there's no news, and we'll be getting to

15
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: a variety of news items from around the league very shortly. Also,

16
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: we will over the course of the show, we will

17
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: identify the true bell cow running backs, the guys you

18
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: can count on to get a lot of touches. Who

19
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: are they? And not just rehashing last year's bell cows

20
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: because you already know that looking forward to this year's

21
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 1: crop of running backs, we'll talk about the stink hole

22
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: and beyond. What's the stinkhole? You might ask. The stinkhole

23
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: is that spot in the first round where the obvious

24
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: choices are gone and now you're up. What do you

25
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: do with that spot? Where is the stinkhole this year?

26
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: And what are you doing in that vicinity? We'll give

27
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: you three tough questions and perhaps everybody's favorite segment all

28
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: preseason over the course of this show, the reach around,

29
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: We got a stinkhole, and reach around. We got a

30
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: stinkhole and reach around. In the reach around will tell

31
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: you the guys you should reach one round early, go

32
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: get that's what you meant. That's the reach around. We'll

33
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: talk about vacated targets. Scott Fish will help us identify

34
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: the teams that have lost the most receiving targets and

35
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: who could step into those spots. And then, at the

36
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: end of the show, as we do every week, our

37
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: sleepers three sleepers, one from each of us. These are

38
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: guys that will significantly outperform their draft position. Al right, guys,

39
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: let's go to the news. We begin with the Carolina

40
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: Panthers Matt Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported last weekend that

41
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: left tackle Russell Okung is contemplating retirement due to COVID.

42
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk says he's keeping his options open right now,

43
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: so he could just quit. Oku is a fascinating guy.

44
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: He's extremely smart, He's negotiated his own contracts. He's um,

45
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of interests outside of football. Wouldn't

46
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: surprise me. Not That wouldn't be good for Christian McCaffrey

47
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: or nor would it be good for Teddy Bridgewater. We

48
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: think needs all the help he can get. So we'll

49
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: be watching the status of the starting left tackle for

50
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, Scott Let's go to Las Vegas with

51
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Yeah so? Uh? Josh Josh Jacob says he's

52
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: going to catch at least sixty passes this year, and

53
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: John Gruden is reportedly wants to get him more involved.

54
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: It was upset they didn't good Rookie of the Year.

55
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: All the b reporters are saying they want him on

56
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: the field of ton. John Garden's gonna try to win

57
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: him Rookie of the Year this year. But there's something

58
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: to be aware of. They want to get him really

59
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: involved in the passing game. He is, Jacobs has top

60
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: three or four. We'll talk about him and later. All right,

61
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: we'll be talking more about him later. Okay, let's go

62
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: to the Texans. Why receiver Kenny still still hasn't passed

63
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: his physical and looks like a cut candidate in Parks.

64
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna make seven million dollars guaranteed if he's on

65
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: the rosters. Good chance he's gonna go and will help

66
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: cement playing time for Will Fuller and Brandon Cooks and

67
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: Reggie Cobb. Let's go to the Randall. Randall, not Reggie.

68
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: Brangie cop played for Tampa a long times ago, showing

69
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: my age. Let's go to the Washington football team. As

70
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: of about twenty minutes after we recorded last week's show,

71
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: Darius Geiss was released, opening up the running back competition

72
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: to Adrian Peterson, Peyton Barber, Antonio Gibson, Bryce Love and

73
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: j D mckissic. J D mcsuck it. No, No, that's

74
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: a terrible nickname. It's it's not even that clever. It's

75
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: well earned, if you ask me, Scott. Let's go to

76
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: the Jets. Uh Levian Bella has reportedly slimmed down like

77
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: fifteen pounds, and he's the lightest he's ben since high school.

78
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: I know you hate when running backs, especially speedy ones

79
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: like that, gain weight. What do you think of Levan

80
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: Bell dropping weight? He's always been an agility guy. Yeah,

81
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: I think that might be okay. I don't know, that

82
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: might be all right. I'm willing to you know more,

83
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: Oftentimes these guys end up gaining weight over the course

84
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: of the season. So if he's starting a little light,

85
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: well he took that one year off, that's where he

86
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: gained the way. It's probably true. It's taken a year

87
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: to to work that part off. The Colts Frank Reich

88
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: says that Marlon Mack is his starting running back. Jonathan

89
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: Taylor will be in the mix, though I'm intrigued by

90
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: a strategy of drafting both and starting both. Did you

91
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: see his His line in that same thing, in that

92
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: same interview was he'll play the hot hand and then

93
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: they'll stay in the field. I hate that. That's that's

94
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: why you have to do both. I either what both

95
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: are neither hand. It's going to be Jonathan Taylor. Come on,

96
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: he wouldn't you think so? All that said, um, it's

97
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: Marlon Max's job to lose. By the you know, maybe

98
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: the best offensive line in football. Somebody's going to be

99
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: successful there. It's a nice bast ball strategy. I think,

100
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: taking both guys, you know, have to guess which one

101
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be when Jonathan Taylor hits the field, that's

102
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: the problem. Probably let's go to the Let's go to

103
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ronald Jones is receiving pass catching

104
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: tips from noted asked thrower Tom Brady, and Keyshawn Vaughn

105
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: was officially activated off the COVID list to put some

106
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: pressure on Road Joe Um. He's a Ronald Jones, a

107
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: terrible pass bat blocking back, and that is how he

108
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: can lose this job. That's how he will lose this

109
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: And that's the that is the concern, and it's one

110
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: of the reasons I'm I'm I'm not playing. I'm not

111
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: gambling on either of those guys because I don't feel

112
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: like I can trust him that way. Scott, the Denver

113
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: Broncos have news. Yeah, so beer reporters are expecting Melvin

114
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: Gordon to be the Week one starter, which is really

115
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: no surprise after paying him sixteen million dollars. But what

116
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: they are saying, they're expecting like a sixty thirty five

117
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: or even seventy thirty split, which I found was surprising. Yeah,

118
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: that is I I think Philip people. People are assuming

119
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay is dead, and I am not ready. I

120
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: am not ready to be that guy. The death of

121
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay has been greatly exaggerated. Really has Travis Kelsey

122
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,559
Speaker 1: signed an extension that will keep him with the Chiefs

123
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: through twy d twenty five. Great news for his dynasty

124
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: owners because now you have the security of knowing it's

125
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: got Patrick Mahomes throwing to him. Great news for Patrick

126
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: mahomes dynasty and Empire owners as well. He gets to

127
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: throw to Travis Kelsey. So winners all all around if

128
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: you're invested in Travis Kelsey and your dynasty or Empire league. Matt,

129
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks have news. Just Chris Carson. He's not

130
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: in Seahawks camp right now as he deals with a

131
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: personal matter. And that's according to NFL Network. Um, it

132
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: is not a toward love affair with me. No Dolphins,

133
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: Although I like him, I like him on my fantasy team,

134
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: let's hope. So Yeah, but I don't love him. Let's

135
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: go to uh let's go to the Dolphins. Preston Williams

136
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: is awesome. That's all. That's all. No, there's more. He's

137
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: running fine and making one handed catches in the corner

138
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: of the end zone. Jordan Howard. They're expecting to be

139
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: the lead back, with Breda taking on almost all the

140
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: passing down work and which the amount of targets available.

141
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: That's interesting. You'll get well. I think there'll be more

142
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: on that later in this show, won't there. It's possible.

143
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: Viking social media shows justin Jefferson making a variety of

144
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: amazing catches, not in pads and not while he's covered

145
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: by defenders for the most part, but nevertheless, good to

146
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: see him making those catches. Let's go to the Philadelphia Eagles.

147
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: Matt greg Ward remember him? I do? He was a

148
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: starting wide receiver for this team. Well, according to Doug Peterson,

149
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: he's in the starting mix again. Right now, get greg

150
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: Ward with the three pick off the board in your

151
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: league and get a starting wide receiver for the Eagles.

152
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: I don't remember. It looks like all Sean Jeffrey's not

153
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: going to start to start the season healthy, So you

154
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: know it's it's Jalen reagor de Sean Jackson. Yeah, probably

155
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: for a while. Yeah, and Greg Ward, let's go to

156
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Scott the Patriots son Lamar Miller this year

157
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: this week to a one we one year deal. It's

158
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: gonna be a one week deal, and immediately placed him

159
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: on the on the publist because he's got a torn

160
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: a c L. He lands there with Sonny Michelle, who

161
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: is dealing with not being good at football. Yeah, and

162
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: you know, as a reminder, the torn a c L was.

163
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: It makes it sound like it just happened to this

164
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: time last year when he walked into the offices in

165
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: Foxboro signed the contract. Um a baffling move for the

166
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. You know you knew he was hurt?

167
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: Did you check the physical? Did you did you know

168
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: that he was going to start the season on the publis? Hey,

169
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: did you wait till he was healthy? Bill Belichick's playing

170
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: three D chess here? Who are we? Who are we'd argue?

171
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: Alvin Camaris confirmed that he played last year with a

172
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: tear in his knee, and he's also been reported to

173
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: have dealing with Hianchael sprain and back issues last year

174
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: rolls into this season fully healthy and it has a

175
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: current ADP of four. So obviously a lot of people

176
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: are willing to look past last year's trouble, but he has.

177
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: He did confirm that he played with the tear in

178
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: his knee this past week. Uh, he played with it

179
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: last year. Confirmation was this week. Yes. Dallas Cowboys, Matt Uh.

180
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: They signed Everson Griffin to help bolster their defensive line.

181
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: Insert the Deck Prescott gift where he's doing some sort

182
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: of well, well, I guess I'm not getting any money

183
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: this year. I think he's gonna go Okay. He's making

184
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: the average of the top five paid quarterbacks. Yeah. Uh,

185
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: Scott Titans, Uh, Titans. This week, coaches hyping, heaping a

186
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: lot of praise on one John wu Smith. Well, you

187
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: don't say John Smith. They were hyping and heaping John Smith,

188
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: both of those things. Wanting to find creative ways to

189
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: give him the ball because he can do so many things.

190
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: He might be Derrick Henry's backup, by the way, he

191
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: might be Derek Starter. Yeah, the way he can. He's

192
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: great with the ball in the hands. He's had great runs,

193
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: I mean, fifty seven yard rob last year. Yeah, and now,

194
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: I don't even think that was his best Church put

195
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: your pants back on a run outside the lines last

196
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: year that broke a bunch of tackles and then went

197
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: out of bounds. But yeah, he's had a couple of

198
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: them telling you, Johnny Smith, he's already been a member

199
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: of my sleeper segment. I think that was we our

200
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: first show of this season was john Nu Smith identified

201
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: as my my probably he's probably he's one of my

202
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: two favorite sleepers for this year. M let's see what's next.

203
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: Steelers of media reports say that Jalen Samuel's could be cut.

204
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: There are simultaneous reports that Benny Snell looks vastly improved.

205
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: Snow was a bitter disappointment last year with many opportunities

206
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: to to take get more reps but never look good.

207
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: They're saying physically he looks like a different back right now,

208
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: and coaches have been uh and Mike Tomlin has said

209
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: that he's mentally in a better spot in year two.

210
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: The biggest year rookies their players always make is year one.

211
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: Year two it's always the big lead, and for running backs,

212
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: if they don't make the leap within two years, they're

213
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: almost always dead. As you either got it within two

214
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: years or you don't. But Snell is still there's still

215
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: an opportunity here, and he's going undrafted in the vast

216
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: majority of leagues. Let's go to the Giants. Matt Evan

217
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: Engram back in camp after a very strong and aggressive

218
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: rehab from frank surgery last year in his left foot.

219
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: Scott the Bengals. John Ross left camp to take care

220
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: of his son and wife, who both tested positive for

221
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen and uh, that makes him a threat to

222
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: sit out. Yeah, And it also makes him a threat

223
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: being that he was already going to be fighting Tee

224
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: Higgins and Audentaid for that third role, So there might

225
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: be issues there, So maybe not, maybe hold off on

226
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: drafting him late in the late rounds now George Kittle

227
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: got an extension that will keep him with the team

228
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: through five and it certainly Booy's the dynasty and empire

229
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: value of Jimmy Garoppolo a lot. Also, media reports have

230
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: first round pick Brandon Ayouk starting on the outside, and

231
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: I believe that will happen in Week one. I believe

232
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: he is NFL ready and the team needs him anyway.

233
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: With Deebo Samuel's very unlikely to be available in Week one.

234
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: The Falcons Matt Todd Gurley was walking with a limp

235
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: yesterday man, and then ready it's starting man. Then Twitter

236
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: spent most of Thursday just freaking out about Atlanta uh

237
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: starting center Alex mac also limited in camp right now,

238
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: with an explanation of veteran he's limited day off? Is it?

239
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: I don't know he's old? I guess. Raven's offensive coordinator

240
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: Greg Roman says that training camp will be used to

241
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: settle his running back depth chart, which currently features three

242
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: or four quality backs, depending on whether or not you

243
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: think Justice Hill's a quality back. Mark Ingram is the

244
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: presumed starter there. When we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly,

245
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: we will tell you who the bell cows are. These

246
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: are the guys that the running backs in particular, who

247
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: are going to get a lot of carries. Nothing more

248
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: important than opportunity to the success of any fantasy player.

249
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: Will tell you the guys who are gonna have the

250
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: football in their hands the most. When we come back

251
00:13:52,800 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Football Weekly, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly on

252
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: the air. Paul char chi In, Matt Harrison, Scott Fish

253
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: with you. Thank you for joining us. Your number six

254
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: show number three. The segment is dedicated to the bell

255
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: cow backs. These are the runners that are going to

256
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: carry the pigskin. Many many times I have challenged Matt

257
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: Harrison to project into his crystal ball about who the

258
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: bell cow running backs will be this year. I need

259
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: to get a crystal ball just just for segments like

260
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: this so I can have the visual so you can

261
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: see me looking into it. Yes, Um, so I can

262
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: have to rub the crystal ball, right, don't you have to,

263
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: like I think you hover your hands above it. You don't, Actually,

264
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: you don't want fingerprints on the um. We're gonna divide

265
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: these backs into four category. Those categories will be three bells,

266
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: which are running backs projected for over three touches and

267
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: little to know competition. All right, those are these are

268
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: lot You're not you know, necessarily a lot. That's a lot.

269
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: There's not many runners in that category. Two bells are

270
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: projected for about two fifty touches with some competition around them. Uh.

271
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: The one bell backs are projected for over two hunderd touches,

272
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of variants and competition for them.

273
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: And then there's workhorses. They're kind of in split back

274
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: fields where I think they're going to get more than half,

275
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: but it's going to be definitely a split backfield. Uh.

276
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: And then finally there's questionable backfields. We're not going to

277
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: talk about New England, Miami, Washington and the Rams. Those

278
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: backfields are really crazy. So let's start with the three

279
00:15:50,120 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: bells Church. They didn't quiver. Alright, there's your three bells

280
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: right there. Hold on, maybe this is okay, that's maybe better,

281
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: So don't play that three slay bells. These are bell

282
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: cow runners, not slay bell runners. Well, that kind of works.

283
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: Leave the sligh bells for the work has to be

284
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: slay bells. They can just be bells. You can, you don't.

285
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: You could take a slagh bell off a sleigh and

286
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: put it on. The belling needs have to be attached

287
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: to a slagh. There's not a ton to discuss about

288
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: these five backs. I think they're very clearly the bell

289
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: cow in their backfield. That's Christian McCaffrey, whose only backup

290
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: is Reggie Bonafone. Yeah, that's that's a clear case. Sae

291
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley, who's not going to be pushed by Wayne

292
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: Gallman or Dion Lewis Derrick Henry and Darnton Evans isn't

293
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: pushing him. Joe Mixon I think is in there as well.

294
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: I don't think Joe is really going to push him

295
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: much anymore. Yeah, there was mixing so good out of

296
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: the backfield and catching the ball too. So there was

297
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: a time that that Giovanni Ard looked like he was

298
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: going to have a lengthy career as a second running

299
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: back who would siphon off a lot of work from

300
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: whoever the starter was. It just hasn't come around due

301
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: to injury and inconsistency unfortunately, So maybe it's better, you know,

302
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon is and Hugh Jackson and Freddie Kitchens that too.

303
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: And then my final three bell cow uh Ezekiel Elliott,

304
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: which I left him for last because I know Charge

305
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: has some feelings about Ezekiel Elliott with Tony Pollard in Toe.

306
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about it and in the on air

307
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: version of Fantasy Football Weekly, but we've hit on it

308
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: in the the the off air podcast version of Fantasy

309
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: Football Weekly and months past. I I I worry that

310
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard is so good that they just have to

311
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: give him more reps. And part of it was I

312
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: came out of last year feeling like just my eyes

313
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: told me that Tony Pollard was really really good. And

314
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: then I went back looked at it some more quantified

315
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: at as I could looked at Pro Football Focus, the

316
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: graded every run Tony Pollard in a much smaller sample

317
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: size was graded out better in virtually everything everything than

318
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott. And Ezekiel Elliott's still really good, and Elliott

319
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: is really good. Pollard's really good too. And I think

320
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: there's a sneaky case here where this goes from like

321
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: eighty twenty Zeke to Pollard to sixty Pollard. That would

322
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: be that would be a sizeable step down in production

323
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: for Ezekiel Elliott, who has been like a three touch

324
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: guy almost every year, right, so this would you know?

325
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: This would turn Elliott into like more like a two

326
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: fifty guy, and he's no longer you know, You're it's

327
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: hard to be a first rounder on that anymore. So

328
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: I've got and this is just a hunch. I have

329
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: no no inside knowledge of this. I'm just looking at it.

330
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: If I if I ran the Cowboys, and I should,

331
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: I would I would be protecting my investment in Zeke

332
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: by giving him us work and making sure that my

333
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: other extremely talented running back down on the field a

334
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: lot more. By the way, it's Marvin Lewis for then

335
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: the same same stage. It's very understandable. We've all done

336
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: it all right. Okay, let's move to the two bell

337
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: backs Church. That's two bells, good job, two shakes right there. Um,

338
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: So these guys, if everything breaks as expected, they're bell cowse.

339
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook is the first one on that list. His

340
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: red flags are he's a possible hold out. Still, alex

341
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: Madison is a very good backup. I don't think there's

342
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: any real holdout concern here, but go ahead, and Dalvin

343
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: gets injured every year. That is that is if that's

344
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: the biggest concern. Yeah, that is a fact. And by

345
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: the way, I'll mention this. On Friday, Dalvin Cook was

346
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: talking up Alexander Madison about how grad he is, so

347
00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: he seems to believe that his backup is pretty good too. Yeah,

348
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: next guy, Alvin Camara. His red flags are as you

349
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: alluded to in an earlier segment. He was injured most

350
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: of last year. He's never had more than two hundred

351
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: carries in a season. But it is a contract here

352
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: and I'm going to talk more about Alvin Camara a

353
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: little bit later. Alright, uh, next guy, they don't. Latavius

354
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: Murray's the only, you know, the only quality backup they've

355
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: got there, and that Murray's just not the next back

356
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire laire. I want to move him up

357
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: to a three bell category so much, but he's a

358
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: rookie and there are some veteran backups including Patrick mahomes

359
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: is best buddy from college, DeAndre Washington, plus Darryl Williams

360
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: and Darwin Thompson there who I think will get some

361
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: touches here in some touches. I think you're doing the

362
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: safe thing with Clyde Edwards Hilaire by having him in

363
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: this second category. This feels about right, and he is

364
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: still a rookie. We don't know what the usage is

365
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: gonna be, but the upside for him is what Kareem

366
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: Hunt did it, and that could be back to you know,

367
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: touch territory. By the way, the Chiefs lost ten touches

368
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: inside the five. Mm hmm, just ten. Well that's that's fine, Okay, Well,

369
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: that team passes a lot inside the five. It's true,

370
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: you know, they don't always run side but those are

371
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: ten available touchdowns, easy touchdowns that could be going to

372
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards, Hilaire. Let's talk about Josh Jacobs for the

373
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders. No big time red flags here, no

374
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: clear backup between Jalen Rochard and Lynn Bowden. He did

375
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: average twenty touches over his thirteen games last year, so

376
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: he's by the way, he did most of that with

377
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: a fractured shoulder playing through that. Yeah, he's he's closer

378
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: to the three bell category. I'm surprised he's not a

379
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: it's gonna get I like Josh Jacobs for this. I

380
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,239
Speaker 1: think he will end up closer to three al right.

381
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: How about Nick Chubb the red flag Kareem Hunt, Yes,

382
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: that's it, that's it. Otherwise, Chubb's great Chub, really really

383
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: good back, and they will find time, they will find enough,

384
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: They'll find enough ways to get him the ball and

385
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: give it Stefanski. Will Stefanski fed Dalvid Cook like crazy.

386
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: But I think I worry about cream Hunt eating into

387
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: his totals. But he'll probably get to the two fifty

388
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: range you're talking about. Let's talk Miles Sanders of the

389
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. Uh, the red flag here, is Philly's insistence

390
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: under Doug Peterson to not use the workhorse back. Boston

391
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: Scott and Corey Clement are both capable pass catching backs

392
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: and should take some third down work and maybe more.

393
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: But Miles Sanders looked really good over the tail end

394
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: of last year. Fantastic. I was gonna say, can I

395
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: play counter counter Devil's Advocate? But like four games at

396
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: the end of last season with eight plus percent snaps? Okay,

397
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: but all the rest of the depth except Boston Scott,

398
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: and there was Boston Scots actually good. Boston Scott is good.

399
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Yeah, I like him. I do too. Uh.

400
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: And by the way, in in PPR leagues, Boston Scott

401
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: should be getting drafted. He's going to be that bye

402
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: week guy that can get you five receptions in fifty yards.

403
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: That's he ought to he ought to be bi getting drafted.

404
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: And mostly every time I hear about Boston Scott, I

405
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: think about Michael Scott from the office, and that's like

406
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: a character he does. Hey, I'm Boston Scott like prison Mike.

407
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: In fairness to the other players being injured then last

408
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: year they're gone. Now it's sharp, but they have fell

409
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: a healthy guy no, No, it's Sanders Boston Scott. Oh,

410
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: I guess there's that. I always think of Boston Market,

411
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: but that's because I like food. It's Boston Market even

412
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: still a thing. They think there's still a few around

413
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: here and there used all the time. Did you would

414
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: call me Boston Scott. Kenyan Drake of the Arizona Cardinals.

415
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: His red flag thirty five percent of his fantasy points

416
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: last year came in two games. Two. Okay, that's not

417
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: a usage scenario, right, Well, it's a little bit of

418
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: using a little bit of maybe. Um. It's also a

419
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: past happy offense with DeAndre Hopkins added to the mix,

420
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: a running quarterback who should take away some of his

421
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: rushing touches, and Chase Edmonds is actually a very good

422
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: backup to him. I think he's he's good enough. He's

423
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: good enough, good enough Bell, let's move on. He's kind

424
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: of old, but he's getting lighter. The Jets are going

425
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: to be bad and might be throwing all the time.

426
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: That's another big red flag, lady on. Bell just might

427
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: be out of the game script by halftime in most games. Plus,

428
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: he's got an even older Frank Gore backing him up,

429
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: and Frank Gore will steal touches because Frank always gets

430
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: on the field. You say it every time. Yeah, he's

431
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: I'm sorry charged. Frank will be on the field. This

432
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: is the year a team realizes that giving Frank carries

433
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: at this stage waste Until he's on the couch, Frank

434
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: care will get touch. We have. This is why Bell

435
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: is gonna be on the field. I mean, who is it?

436
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: Lamercle p Ryan and Frank Gore. That's it behind him.

437
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: I got five more on the two bells. Chris Carson

438
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: injury history. Carlos Hyde is the backup, but he's not

439
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: much of a wherey Rashad Penny's still dealing with his

440
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: injury from last year. Chris Carson over twenty touches per

441
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 1: game last year. Leonard four net. New offensive coordinator Jake

442
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: Gruden brought his favorite pass catcher, Chris Thompson with him

443
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: and a lot of four nets value was wrapped into

444
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: the pass catching which came out of nowhere last year.

445
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: And I think it's gonna go away just as quickly. Uh,

446
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: David Johnson, Bill O'Brien will use him until he gets hurt.

447
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: And he will get hurt because he was the return

448
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: and the DeAndre Hopkins trade, and they gotta make it

449
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: look like they got something. Todd Gurley will never be

450
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: healthy again, but there's really no one behind him on

451
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: the depth chart. UH Falcons were one of the more

452
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: pass heavy teams in the red zone last year, and

453
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 1: that could change with Todd Gurley though. And finally, one

454
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: of my favorites, Austin Ekeler. I debated where to put him.

455
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: He averaged twenty touches per game in games without Melvin

456
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: Gordon last year, but he's never had a bell cow workload,

457
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: so I'm a little worried about him. Um, finally I

458
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: got the one bell, guys, and there's only three now,

459
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 1: that was three bells. Let's try it again. There we go.

460
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones. This is controversial, right, Aaron Jones. We've outlined

461
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: it enough on this show. He had a historic success

462
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: rate inside the five, but they drafted his replacement, who

463
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: is bigger, stronger, more physical, can leap higher, and a

464
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: goal line specialist in a J Dillon James Conner. It's

465
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: the injuries for Connor that keep killing his seasons. I

466
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: think he'll get the work if he can stay healthy,

467
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: but he can't stay healthy and finally David Montgomery answered

468
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson getting all angry. He's really the only pure

469
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: runner on rosters. Treat Cohen's more of a gadgety scattie

470
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: guy than any thing, so he'll get the one bell category,

471
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: even though his talent is very much in question. There

472
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: are seven workhorse backs. We don't have time for them,

473
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: but just sip through the list of names that you

474
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: are calling. When you say workhorse, you mean they're gonna

475
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: they're gonna get more than half of the carries. But

476
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be close to half, Okay, So Melvin Gordon

477
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: over Philip Lindsay, Jonathan Taylor over, Marlon Mack, maybe Devin

478
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: Singletarry over, Zack Moss, Ronald Jones over Keyshawn Vaughan, mark

479
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: Ingram over JK. Dobbins, DeAndre Swift over carry On Johnson,

480
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: and Raheem Mostert over the rest of the crew in

481
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: San Franz Alright, great job on the bell cow running backs.

482
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: When we come back, we will spend a little bit

483
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: of time in the stinkhole. What is the stinkhole? This

484
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: is the draft position where the obvious choices are gone,

485
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: and now you've got to figure out what to do next.

486
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,120

491
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: with more Fantasy Football Weekly. Ye, welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

492
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: I am Well Church and your co hosts are Matt

493
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: Harrison and Scott Fish. It's time for a segment we

494
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: call the Stinkhole and beyond sounder. For that that was

495
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: the sounders. I mean just going down a register. It's

496
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: not really a sounder. I don't think. Um, every year

497
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: there's a spot in the first round where the obvious

498
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: choices are gone and now you got really a plethora

499
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: of available options to you. I want to first identify

500
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: where the stink hole is this year, and then secondarily,

501
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: let's figure out what we want to do with that

502
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: spot in the spot immediately spots immediately after it. I

503
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: got a fun idea, why not the count of three?

504
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: We all say who we're going to pick first? Overall,

505
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: that's can we identify which spot it is first? First? Overall. Well,

506
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: for who would you pick first overall in the draft? One? Two, three?

507
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: Oh no, that is all right? So it's Christian john

508
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: Smith second pick? Is it Sae Kwon Barkley? For everybody? Say, kwan,

509
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: I've I've I've toyed with having se Kwon number one? Okay,

510
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: so one too? CMC and Barkley? Are you are you

511
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: in agreement? Scott? Sure? Yeah, yeah, we all are. I

512
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: think that's that's the universal consensus. I think ninety two

513
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: of drafts. You're going with those two guys like Ezekiel

514
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: at two out there, we should we try our number three?

515
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: Well together. The whole point, that point of this now

516
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: we found it is that yes, um, there's there is

517
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: not a unanimous number three pick, or even very close

518
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: to unanimous number three pick. I think now many people

519
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: are going to Ezekiel Elliott, but there's a lot of

520
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: available options, and so I want to I want to

521
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: first let's just let's just start here. Is Christian McCaffrey

522
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: the right selection at number one? Yes? Probably? Yeah. Probably.

523
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: Now I've been like you, I've been, I'm there, but

524
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: like there's a part of me that says, man Barkley

525
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: can really make some place, and and that offense could

526
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: be really because they never had all those players on

527
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: the field. They have a hideous schedule to open up.

528
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: By the way, the Giants. Giants are very difficult first month.

529
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,959
Speaker 1: I'm I've been so close on this, but I've got

530
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: McCaffrey number one. Now, if Russell kun does end up

531
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: not playing left tackle, that might be enough to flip

532
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: it for me where I would I would go with

533
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: sake Kwon Barkley. The other side of it is there's

534
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: a chance this Teddy Bridgewater led offense is bad, just

535
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: bad that he can't stretch fields nearly enough. Well, that's

536
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: the maybe maybe, I mean, I don't know. I'm a

537
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: little bit nervous about that part of it. See the

538
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: scenes offense was still good, but Teddy's numbers were terrible

539
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: in those games last year. He threw a lot of short,

540
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: catchable passes. Michael, Michael, Tom, It's that's right. Yes, Um,

541
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: we'll find out if that's gonna be the case or not?

542
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: All right? Is say Kwon Barkley number two? Is that correct?

543
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: Sacon Barkley is abou running back. If he's not number one,

544
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: he's number two for you guys, right, all right. If

545
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: se Kwon Barkley were on a different team, he'd be

546
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: the number one back. He's you know, this is just

547
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: unfortunately the Giants have been terrible offensive line, and you

548
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: know I got hurt. Last year he was the number

549
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: one player. He was the consensus number one player last year.

550
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: Now he's the number two player. So we all agree

551
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: that those are the correct number one and number two's

552
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: all right. Now let's figure out what we're gonna do

553
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: at pick number three. I want to begin with Scott.

554
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: Who do you believe is the correct player to go

555
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: into the stink hole at number three? Where you have

556
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: to rely and now your own good judgment with your

557
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: ass on the line. Because the obvious picks are over,

558
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: You've now got everybody to draft to pick from except

559
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: for two players. Who's the right guy in your mind?

560
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm probably leaning either Elliott or Derrick Henry. I hate

561
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: to say it, but he's like seventh or eighth and ADP.

562
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: But I really do consider him there. He's gotten his

563
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go with Henry. He's got his

564
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: entire offensive line coming back, which I love when that

565
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: happens for a running back. Just signed a new contract. Well,

566
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: Jack Conklin's gone the Oh yeah, he went to Cleveland's right.

567
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: I forgot that. I was thinking of Staffold and Lawan

568
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: and and Jones, of his life coming back. Uh. My

569
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: only concern is the four nine touches last year. But

570
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: if there's anybody built to handle four hun nine touches

571
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: and that come back, it's probably him. The lack of

572
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: passing game work is is an issue, but he really

573
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: doesn't have any competitions for any touches. I think he's

574
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a touch of game guy, and uh, I

575
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: think he's a safe pick there. All right, Matt, what

576
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: would you do in the the stink hoole at pick

577
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: number three? I'm so sad because Scott stole my thunder

578
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: Because everybody's saying Zeke that, Zeke that at three. I'm

579
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: sick of it. The best pound for pound running back

580
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: in the league is Derrick Henry. He had about the

581
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: same amount of carries as Zeke last year. He finished

582
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: with two hundred more yards. Well, Henry wasn't used a

583
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: ton in the passing game. He averaged eleven point four

584
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: yards per catch, while Zekeo was only at seven point seven.

585
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: Henry's backup is not scary. Who was the second rated

586
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: running back in Fantasy points last year? It was Derrick Henry.

587
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 1: Why is it going off seventh or eighth right now?

588
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: And if you go back to the tail end of

589
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: don't forget that he went from eight to ten touches

590
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: per game at the beginning of Thanks Matt Lafleur, to

591
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: twenty carries per game. Over the last five games of

592
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: that season, he scored eight times, an average a hundred

593
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: and twenty five rushing yards per game in those five games.

594
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: So in his last twenty three games as a pro,

595
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: including the playoffs, he's averaging twenty one carries, a hundred

596
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: and thirteen yards per game, and a score point one

597
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: per game. He only had one game in which he

598
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: didn't clear at least seventy yards or score. He's just

599
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,399
Speaker 1: a lock. Uh. I can't take Derrick Kenn you pick

600
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: number three if I'm in a PPR league. It just

601
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: doesn't catch enough. And what those receptions do is they

602
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: mitigate the bad rushing day that all runners have, even

603
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: the great ones Barry Sanders, they all had bad rushing days.

604
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: Henry gets one years had bad games too. They the

605
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: reception when you have that forty yard rushing day, you

606
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: know you're that means probably the game script on upside

607
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: down on your defense, and if you can catch, you're

608
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: they're still gonna throw you the ball. So that's why

609
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: I can't go Derrick Henry this high. And I wouldn't

610
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: take down to Derrick Henry actually for me in the

611
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: first six picks, because I'm in I'm in PPR leagues. Now,

612
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: if you're you know, if you're not, you're in a

613
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: half point PBR. You're in a standard scoring the great

614
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: take Derrick Henry. I'm in a six point per touchdown league,

615
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: and that's why I'm taking Derrick Henry. Alvin Kamara is

616
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: my choice. I do believe this is where he was

617
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: going last year. Right here had a season with three

618
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: different May Jr. Injuries that he gallantly played through and

619
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: lied on the injury report about, and I believe he

620
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: bounces right back to form here. I like we all

621
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: want a part of the Saints offense is a very

622
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: good offense. It's gonna go through him. He's gonna catch

623
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: a ton of balls. We're gonna see the same game

624
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: breaking skill that he showed two years ago but couldn't

625
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: display last season. I am going with somebody closer to

626
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: the consensus here with Alvin Kamara. By the way, with Kamara,

627
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: he was averaging like a hundred and seventeen yards of

628
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: game and five catches a game before the injury. That's

629
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: that's in PPR. That's like seventeen points a game without

630
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: any touchdowns. Yeah, great point. Yeah, and and the touchdowns

631
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: were a big problem for people. He scored in two

632
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: games last year. Now it's got to come back to

633
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: the normalcy. Yeah. Before that, he had scored thirty one

634
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns in his first two years. Yeah, great point. Yeah,

635
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: you know there, so he was on over a touchdown

636
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: a game pace. Yea. And through his first two years,

637
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: remember his Alvin commerce rookie year, he didn't even start

638
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: doing anything until like game six. Wasn't even involved in

639
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: the offense. All right, let's move on now. This segment

640
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: is called the stinkhole and beyond. We've identified what we

641
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: do in the stinkhole. What would you do with the

642
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: two picks after that, Scott, What's what would you do

643
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: with pick number four and pick number five? Well, we've

644
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: kind of talked about it now because I picked four,

645
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: I'm taking Kamara yes, Uh that I I like you.

646
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: It's I mentioned the stats on what he's done in

647
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: the first two years with touchdowns. He was hindered last year. Uh.

648
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: A big point is I think the Stains are going

649
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 1: to score a ton of points and I just want

650
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,720
Speaker 1: one of the if I'm not if I'm going running

651
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 1: back heavy, if I'm going robust running back is my strategy,

652
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: which I do every year. I know that you've hated

653
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: that year's past with your do the opposite, but not

654
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: this year. Anything goes and this year I came up

655
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: with a name for the three five to what's the

656
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 1: three five to the one we talked about last back

657
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 1: the opposite a week ago. Oh, it's called the Gainesville.

658
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: Now the Gainesville what's that? Gainesville, Florida's area code is

659
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: three five too. Hey, that's asking a lot the listener

660
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: to keep track that, I'll be honest. Yeah, that's it. Yeah,

661
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: what are you doing to pick four and five? Scott?

662
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: I'm taking Kamara four and I am still taking Ezekiel

663
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 1: Elliott at five. It's just it feels like value there.

664
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: He's a guy that gets that's averaged nearly two thousand

665
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: yards or the year that he missed six games. He

666
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: would have gotten about that every year, three plus touches

667
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: every year. He's had a hundred plus catches of the

668
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 1: last two years, which I do think comes down with

669
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: the addition of Ceedee Lamb and and Tony Pollard coming on.

670
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: But he'll still catch thirty or forty, you know. So

671
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: I'm still taking Zeke at that. I think he's never

672
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: missed a game from injury, not one in his career yet. No,

673
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: that means a work horse. You know. Again from last

674
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: people who may have missed it last segment, I'm speculating

675
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: that Tony Pollard has a much bigger role, and I'm

676
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: nervous about Zeke. But I'm on the outside of this,

677
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: and I openly acknowledge. I'm I'm the only one who's

678
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: not willing to just replay the last year and assume

679
00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: this year is going to be just like it. By

680
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: the A in a in a draft just weeks ago,

681
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 1: I took c h ahead of both And we'll talk

682
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: more about him in just a minute. Uh, Matt, we've

683
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: done the stinkhole pick three in the first round. Now

684
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: it's picks four and five. Who are you taking in those?

685
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: I wish we would have traded info beforehand, Scott, because

686
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: we have the exact same order and the exact same guys.

687
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: I have Camara at four and Zeke at five. Um.

688
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: Camara has never had a three hundred touch season, never

689
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: if he and he may not if he gets there.

690
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: He's a great candidate for fifteen plus touchdowns because he

691
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: had eighteen in his rookie year and thirteen uh the

692
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: year before the year after that. So he's a great

693
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: candidate for huge numbers if he can just get to

694
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 1: the three d touch mark. Not three hundred carries three

695
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: hundred touches and and that's it's a barrier. He's got

696
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: like two EIGHTIESO, so it's not a huge barrier for

697
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: him to overcome. And then Zeke, as Scott said, he's

698
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: just super consistent. Uh, he will likely finish in the

699
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: top eight. He's durable. Uh. The offense is good. Uh,

700
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna put up yards and ten touchdowns easy on

701
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: the ground. All right, Well, I will now go with

702
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 1: my pick four and my pick five, stinkholes. Pick three.

703
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: We've given our guys for that. Um. Who wants to

704
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,919
Speaker 1: have the starting running back for the Chiefs? I do.

705
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 1: I'd like to have the starting running back for the Chiefs.

706
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: I want to have it. I want to have the

707
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: starting running back for an offense that's going to score,

708
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: that has last year scored ten more points than the

709
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: average offense. I would like to have a part of that.

710
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: I want the guy that's going to get the ball

711
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: at the three yard line. I would like Clyde Edwards

712
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: Hilaire with my pick number four, if you don't mind.

713
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 1: And by the way, he's really good. I mean it's

714
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: not just about the fact that he's the Chiefs starting

715
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: running back. He's also a really good running back. And

716
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: when you put a really good running back on a

717
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: team that is almost indefensible in the passing game, man,

718
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: the yards are gonna come easy to Clyde Edwards Hilaire.

719
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: Can I speak to someone on as well. A lot

720
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: of people talk about his pass pro that it's not great, etcetera.

721
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: The Chiefs asked they're running backs to pass protect twelve

722
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: percent of the time last year. That's fifth lowest in

723
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: the league. They're not going to ask him to do

724
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: that a bunch. He doesn't need to be that. No,

725
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: and you know he's he's very He's obviously diminutive, in

726
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: at least in height, although he's strong for his size.

727
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: Marie Jones Drew has always been my comparative player to him,

728
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: and Jones Drew has built much the same way. Um

729
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: all right, now pick number five. Matt tell listeners about

730
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler for anybody who missed the show last week. Um,

731
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: welly average is about seven yards per touch. Yes, every

732
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: time he touches the ball seven yards. Yes. The problem

733
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: is that he only got two undertouches last year, but

734
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: now Melvin Gordon's gone. Those are not vacated targets but

735
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: vacated touches, and he should jump into close to the

736
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: three touch category. If he does that, he's well ahead

737
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: of Christian McCaffrey's numbers from last year. Yes, and that's uh.

738
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: I think the upside is there. He's strong enough to

739
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: run inside to him to pitch your side. He's uh.

740
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 1: He is quietly one of the most talented running backs

741
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL, so I'm a big fan. Now, last

742
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: thing I want to talk about is we examine this

743
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 1: first round the stink hole and beyond where in your

744
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: mind Scott is the sweet spot in round one? If

745
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: you could pick a draft spot in round one. Do

746
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: you want to be at the beginning for one of

747
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: the first two guys we talked about, or do you

748
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: want to be in the middle or do you want

749
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: to be in the end? First off, the middle sucks

750
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 1: seven and eight or terrible eight. Eight is my least

751
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: favorite spot this year out of all the draft. Eight

752
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: is just terrible. Uh. This is a question versus data

753
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: versus my heart. Like data will tell you the one

754
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: on one is the best because twenty five in a

755
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: deep lee eep here like this, you're getting McCaffrey and

756
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: you're getting two really good players. You're the first team

757
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: to three players. But I'm I'm I am a self

758
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: proclaimed forever back, a hoolic. I need my running backs,

759
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: so I want to be at the tail end. And

760
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: I just I just did a draft with mad that

761
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: I got, Like, who who did I get? I got

762
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 1: Ekela and Josh Jacobs at the back corner. I'm like,

763
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: give me that all day long. I will start my

764
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: team with that. So I'm going back corner. I don't

765
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: blame him. Matt. Where in the first round do you

766
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 1: think is the sweet spot? Why do you keep going

767
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 1: to Scott first? Better? Because he just says all the

768
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: stuff that I want to say. Um. I just recently

769
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,320
Speaker 1: did a Best Ball draft where I was picked number eleven,

770
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: and to pick number eleven, I got Derrick Henry and

771
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: then on the turn I got Austin Ekeler and I

772
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: felt absolutely thrilled about it. I I have theact same

773
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: stuff in my notes. I I hate being in the middle.

774
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: I want to be at the back end where I

775
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: get a combination of Derrick Henry, Tyreek Hill, Davante Adams,

776
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards, Hilaire, Austin Alert, Josh Jacob. Joe Mixon is

777
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: in there a lot too. I'm not a mixing your

778
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: left Joe mixing. You're gonna get two great players that

779
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,439
Speaker 1: you cannot you can't execute from the middle or front

780
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: part of of the first round. When we come back,

781
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: our number two begins with three tough questions. We will

782
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: challenge the brain power of my co host when we

783
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Do welcome back to

784

Speaker 1: Scott Fish with me as well and Matt Harrison. Scott

786
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: and then Matt Harrison at come on, we were now

787
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: Glancy Football Weekly, starring Paul Charching and Scott Fish, also

788
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: with Matt Harrison. Thank you. This is a segment we

789
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 1: called three Tough Questions. We encourage you to play along.

790
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: I will ask three difficult questions my co host. They

791
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: will try to find the right answers. See if you

792
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: can go three and oh, tough question number one. Last year,

793
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup took a big jump forward and then the

794
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys drafted Ceedee Lamb. How worried should a Marie Cooper

795
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: owners be not at all concerned, somewhat concerned, or bowl

796
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 1: looseningly concerned. Let's begin with Scott Fish. I thought I

797
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,399
Speaker 1: was gonna go first. Scott gets to go first. He's

798
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: got all the good data. Nice, alright, I'm assuming so alright. So, So,

799
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup was already kind of better than than Amary Cop.

800
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: He was down the stretch posting better fantasy numbers in

801
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: six of the final eight games. Land was my wide

802
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,959
Speaker 1: receiver one coming out. There's been reports of him making

803
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: some unreal, unreal catches. Already they have a hundred vacated targets.

804
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: Granted that's a lot of Witten. Yeah, So Jarwin is

805
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: gonna get some. Lamb will get some. I'm not sure

806
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,439
Speaker 1: Cooper or Gallup take much of a target hit at all.

807
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: I think Jackson for a prime year. But I'm gonna

808
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 1: say somewhat concerned because he's a MARII Cooper and he's

809
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: gonna get a bunch of big games and a bunch

810
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 1: of nothing games. So you always have to be somewhat

811
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: concerned for a Mari Cooper. All right, well done, Scott.

812
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: I knew you could handle it. Matt. I think I'm

813
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: gonna get the wrong answer here. Uh, not at all.

814
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm not concerned about a Mark Cooper at all, because

815
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,399
Speaker 1: Jerry don't pay a hundred million dollars to a Mary

816
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: Cooper if Jerry ain't gonna mandate that Amari Cooper gets

817
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 1: the ball. He just turned twenty six, He's entering his

818
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: sixth year in the league. But the thing I love

819
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: about Cooper is he gets the job done efficiently. He

820
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 1: only had a hundred and nineteen targets last year, that

821
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:10,760
Speaker 1: was the most in the league. Still, he logged yards

822
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: and had eight touchdowns. And to put that into perspective,

823
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: he finished as the seventh best fantasy receiver with the

824
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: eighteenth most targets. He's efficient, and while Lamb and Gallup

825
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: and Jarwin are gonna get targets, I don't see a

826
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:27,959
Speaker 1: big drop from one nineteen because that's not a huge

827
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: obscle overcome. He can get seven half targets per game

828
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,839
Speaker 1: fairly easily, so I'm not really worried. Plus, what's good

829
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: for the offense is good for the offense, and that's

830
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 1: Seedee Lamb, that's good for the offense. Um, well quoted,

831
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: and you're right about that. Things that help any player,

832
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: and if anything, it helps the offense, helps everybody on

833
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: the offense. Oh what is it? Rising tides raise all ships? Right, Um,

834
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: that is true, and that is why you do not

835
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: have to have any bowel loosening levels of concern over

836
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 1: a Marii Cooper. But you should have. I'm concerned, and

837
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: of course I got it's for the reasons that Scott

838
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: artfully demonstrate. At moments ago. People do not realize how

839
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: close Gallop was the Cooper last year. By the way,

840
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: you talked about the second half of the season when

841
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 1: Gallup was statistically better, but even on the full season,

842
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 1: get how close these do were. They were separated by

843
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:27,720
Speaker 1: six targets. Thirteen catches, only eighty two yards and two scores.

844
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: Gallup and Cooper were practically the same guy last year,

845
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,800
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna Gallop gave you the consistency that Cooper didn't.

846
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: I was gonna say half of Cooper's points came in

847
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: four games. That is actually pretty close to right. You know,

848
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: with Cooper you get the huge variance of output. His

849
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: nine best games were great and his other seven games.

850
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:53,280
Speaker 1: In Cooper's bad seven games, he averaged two catches, thirty

851
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: two yards and did not score. So he's like a

852
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: healthy will Fuller. He has a healthy will Fuller. It's

853
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 1: a disaster level will put for him. So roll all

854
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 1: those things together, you should be somewhat concerned. All right,

855
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: Now we go to question number two. Last year, Washington

856
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 1: receiver Terry McLaurin got robbed of the Rookie of the

857
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: Year award. This year, he'll try to improve despite massive

858
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: question marks at quarterback. Will he a be about the

859
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: same as last year? Be make a modest gain? Or

860
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:35,479
Speaker 1: see will Terry McLaren make a big jump? Scott, Wait

861
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: a minute, wait, wait, you never go to the same guy.

862
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: This is right to go again, because he got the

863
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: first how it goes now, I guess I guess Matt's

864
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 1: gonna be talking second all season. Then alright, uh, Terry

865
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 1: McLaren um, So he as you mentioned, he was robbed

866
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: at the Rookie of the Year or yes he was?

867
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: He just yeah, he was. He was really really good

868
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: last year. There's there's a ton of targets missing from

869
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: that that passing game. A lot of them do tend

870
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: to be running back targets, but there's still a bunch

871
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: of targets that that are possible. My only problem and

872
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 1: nobody came in Antonio Gandy Golden, uh is the only

873
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: guy that came came in. So you think he could

874
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: make a huge jump because he only had ninety three targets.

875
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 1: But I think that offense is not going to be good.

876
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna be behind. So that's gonna help a little.

877
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: But but I think Gibson and Gandy Golden are going

878
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 1: to take up what was lost. I think he's gonna

879
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: make a jump, but I don't think it's gonna be huge.

880
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: That's said like, he's one of those guys that if

881
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: everything hits right, he could be a wide receiver one

882
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, I love his game

883
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: of play. But I'm going with I'm going to I

884
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: think the safe play is just a modest improvement. Maybe

885
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: twenty extra targets, twenty fifteen extra catches, whatever, I don't

886
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,479
Speaker 1: know if you can improve on that, Matt, it's gonna

887
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: be a huge jump. This is gonna be a huge tell. Um.

888
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: He had of the target share last year and then

889
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: everybody left. There's no good players around. He might get

890
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 1: of the target share. They're they're all gone. Are you

891
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: afraid of Steven Sims or Antonio Gandy golden stealing targets

892
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 1: for Terry McClaren, Of course you do. Are you afraid

893
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 1: of Logan Thomas as the top tight end? No, you're not.

894
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: Plus Scott Turner is the offensive coordinator. There, Scott Turner's

895
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: offenses as his as an offensive coordinator, throw sixty percent

896
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: of the time, and they're going to be behind a

897
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: lot Terry mccon Terry McLaren, it's gonna make a huge jump. Yeah,

898
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 1: that's not gonna work. Um, he's too good to level

899
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 1: out already, so we'll just take that off the board.

900
00:51:54,600 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 1: He's not gonna level Matt, You're wrong. Modest improvement even

901
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: with the dubious prospects of Dwayne Haskins. McLaren's just too

902
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,839
Speaker 1: talented to think that he doesn't get better. He will

903
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 1: get better. And Haskins had those two really good games

904
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, and I you know,

905
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: it's it's way too small a sample size to really

906
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: dwell on. But I'll note that McLaren went off in

907
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 1: those two games. There are great games from the window

908
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: Ohio standing together, and the five catches hundred thirty yards

909
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: in one touchdown in one game, seven catches eighty six

910
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: yards in the other game. Even if Haskins doesn't pan out,

911
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 1: this might be the deepest set of quarterbacks in the NFL.

912
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 1: If if Alex Smith, If Alex Smith is able to rebound,

913
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:46,280
Speaker 1: because Kyle Allen was serviceable last year as as a backup,

914
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 1: he'd be good. And then you may as well have

915
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: Alex Smith at some point over the course of the season.

916
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: He might be He might be a plausible starter. Terry

917
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: McLaren will end up making a modest improvement. Tough question

918
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 1: number three. Deshaun Watson's average draft position is Round four

919
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:10,800
Speaker 1: as the fifth quarterback off the board, but his starting

920
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: receivers rank as why and by rank I mean average

921
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 1: draft position wide receiver thirty four, wide receiver thirty seven,

922
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: and his top tight end is tight end forty. There're

923
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: only thirty two teams in the league. I'll remind listeners

924
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: that makes his receiving group among the lowest ranked in

925
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: the league by average draft position. Now, finally to the

926
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: question after this long preamble, which is more accurate Watson's

927
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: lofty average draft position or his receivers lower draft position.

928
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: We begin with Scott Fishing. I'm going over here, and

929
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: I thought you I thought you were gonna flip at

930
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: that time, not until I got one. Okay, I'm going

931
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: with Watson's ADP. We've seen qbs have solid seasons in

932
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: the past, ridding the ball around and not having like

933
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:07,919
Speaker 1: guys be just extreme studs, elite level talents. I think

934
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 1: a big reason of the lower ADPs in the wide

935
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: receivers is injury history. They can very easily if they

936
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: just stay healthy, very easily. I would do those a DPS.

937
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 1: And you mentioned the tight end there, tight top tight end,

938
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: his tight end forty. Well, there are two tight ends.

939
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: Again spreading it out because you're a good quarterback, there

940
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: are two tight ends combined for nearly eight hundred yards

941
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 1: and nine touchdowns last year nine times tight end six.

942
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: That would have been tight ends six nine times. So

943
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: even even though they have a tight end forty as

944
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 1: their top ranking tight end, he spread it around to

945
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,919
Speaker 1: his tight ends and made you know, had the numbers there.

946
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 1: It's I I think Watson's ADP is fine, and I

947
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: think the other's ADP is more injury based. And because

948
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: he spreads it around a little, all right, is Watson's

949
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: average draft position correct his lofty average traft position or

950
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: his receiver's diminished a average draft position more correct? Let's

951
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: try this here. I want to say exactly what Scott said.

952
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 1: How about that? All right? Um, I'll add on you

953
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: to uh, you want to just stay fuller Fuller, Cooks,

954
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb, Kenny Stills. That's about as deep as four

955
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: wide receivers as anybody has in the league. There he

956
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 1: goes still place, sure, but even with Kiki Cutie in

957
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,800
Speaker 1: and his wide receiver four, that's a really deep wide

958
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 1: receiver depth chart right there. And when you don't know

959
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 1: who's going to be the best wide receiver, you take

960
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback, and I think the quarterback is going to

961
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,760
Speaker 1: do well. Nobody even mentioned the fact that he runs.

962
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 1: He does, He's a running quarterback, and much of his

963
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: fantasy relevance he is tied to his running and we

964
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: don't even care his receivers are at that point. Okay,

965
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 1: So I mean there's there's that as well. And the

966
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: correct answer is Scott's answer Watson's average draft position? Did

967
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: I did I get it right? To then? What did

968
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 1: you say? Again? I said whatever Scott said? Oh? Then

969
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:07,760
Speaker 1: then no, Scott got it right. Our draft position is correct,

970
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: and frankly, I think we're probably underdrafting his receivers a

971
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: little bit as well. They should probably go higher. You

972
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 1: can make a good case for which one. I mean,

973
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 1: it would be a good argument who should be higher?

974
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: Will Fuller with the upside and everything else or Brandon

975
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: Cooks with more of the consistency but maybe not the

976
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 1: same ceiling that Will Fullers. Fuller has scored fourteen touchdowns

977
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: in his twenty one games with Watson, which is crazy. Yes,

978
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:33,879
Speaker 1: and he's that double digit fantasy points in two thirds

979
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: of the games too. Well, if he's scored that much

980
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,280
Speaker 1: of now you're just showing off, do you guys believe

981
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 1: is a sub topic. Do you believe there's such a

982
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 1: thing as injury prone or is it just that bad

983
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 1: luck happens to strike, you know, but by by just

984
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: odds are somebody's gonna hit bad luck repeatedly. I don't

985
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 1: really believe an injury prone too much, but when you

986
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: have soft tissue injuries, you tend to get them more

987
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:01,240
Speaker 1: and more frequently. Soft tissues a problem. Like ask Leonard

988
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: soft tissue for net as. I like to call him

989
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: as a guy who severely sprained his ankle playing basketball

990
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:09,399
Speaker 1: in high school. Very relevant and and it never has

991
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: fully healed all the way I turn it all the time,

992
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,839
Speaker 1: and it's still bad. Yeah, injury history is a thing.

993
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 1: The turned ankle stings. It's smarts for sure. When we

994
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: come back, you've been waiting for it all preseason. It's

995
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: time for the reach around. Don't be a slave to

996
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 1: average draft position. We're going to tell you the players

997
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: that you will want to reach a round early on.

998
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 1: Scott will tell you, will give you the right answer

999
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 1: on boa feature around. When we come back to Fantasy

1000
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 1: Football Weekly, and I'll mention if you want to try

1001

Speaker 1: the freshest new format in fantasy sports, it's guillotine Leagues s.

1005
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: Fball Weekly returns Bult Georgie in, Scott Fish and Matt

1006
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 1: Harrison with you. This is, in the years of many

1007
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: the most popular preseason segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. We

1008
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 1: do it every year. It's called to reach around the premise. Here,

1009
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: we're going to identify a player in each of the

1010
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 1: first eleven rounds that you should take one round earlier

1011
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: than when they normally go. So the example would be

1012
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 1: which of the second rounders should be taken in the

1013
00:58:56,400 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 1: first round. We'll go through each of our designated people

1014
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 1: that doesn't. You choose whever you want well, and we'll

1015
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:04,920
Speaker 1: see who we agree on who we don't, and you

1016
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 1: can play along as well. And I want to say

1017
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: broadly to start this off, many fantasy owners, especially polished

1018
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 1: ones that are doing a lot of pre drafts and

1019
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 1: they really know their average draft position, tend to be

1020
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: a slave of average draft position and then tend to

1021
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: feel like, Oh, I really like this guy, but I'm

1022
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 1: just gonna wait and you know at him later because

1023
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 1: average draft position says, this guy's gonna go next round. Man,

1024
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 1: just go get your guys at the moment kickoff happens

1025
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 1: in week one. Nobody cares about the average draft position

1026
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: where you got guys. All the matters is whether or

1027
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 1: not you've got the guys you want. Go get the

1028
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: guys you want. Don't worry about somebody going you could

1029
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: add them next round. Just go get your guys, all right.

1030
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 1: Beginning now, let's go with round one. Who would you

1031
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: take from? Who would you take in round one that

1032
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: would normally go? In round two? We begin with it's

1033
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 1: got what. I was certain you'd go to Matt that time,

1034
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely certain. Since I know what Matt is gonna say,

1035
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: I should go No, but I'm not going to I'm

1036
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 1: gonna go with Josh Jacobs. I I absolutely love Josh

1037
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: Jacobs this year. I think if he if he has

1038
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: any injuries that are less than a fractured shoulder, he's

1039
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 1: probably gonna play sixteen games. Uh. There's been lots of

1040
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 1: word about him getting heavily involved in the passing game.

1041
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: I just think he's going to be one of those

1042
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 1: guys that gets you three plus touches. All right, Matt,

1043
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: Who should people take in round one that would normally

1044
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: go in around two? I got Austin Ekeler. And if

1045
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: you want to hear more about Austin Ekeler, go to

1046
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio or your favorite podcast app. Go to

1047
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: last week's episode of Fantasy Football Weekly and find the

1048
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 1: peacock off and I will outline it for you in

1049
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 1: great detail. Or just listen to two segments ago when

1050
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: I was talking about how I take Austin Ekeler in

1051
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 1: the middle of the first round. Yeah, but mine was

1052
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 1: at her It was better, honestly last year. A reminder.

1053
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 1: Last year in those games, though Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler

1054
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 1: was the highest scoring running back in football in PPR,

1055
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 1: I have reason to believe he won't be there this

1056
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 1: year either, Melvin Gordon. That is, I have reason to

1057
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: believe you are correct. All right, let's go to the

1058
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 1: next round. Who would you take in round two that

1059
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 1: normally goes in round three? Fish? Do you have to

1060
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 1: ask if you look at that list, do you even

1061
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 1: have to ask? I'm asking Kenny Golladay. Kenny Golladay, It's

1062
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 1: always gonna be Nook of the North there, baby tron

1063
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay. You know what bugs me about Kenny Golladay.

1064
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: He has like just like a junior nickname off of

1065
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: everybody else, Like give him his own nickname. Come on, right,

1066
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 1: can't you have his own name? This is a good point.

1067
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 1: This isn't really all work on it, all right, Kenny

1068
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: g How about that? That's kind of taken And honestly,

1069
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay is the opposite of droning soft fusion jazz.

1070
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. He's he's very smooth when he plays,

1071
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of improvisation, one of the one

1072
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 1: of the best in the league of deep ball catches,

1073
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: one of the best in the league at contested catches.

1074
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: And if matthe Matthew Stafford gets back and his excuse me,

1075
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 1: if his back is healthy and he plays a full season,

1076
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 1: he gets back to that thirty touchdown form. Kenny Golladay

1077
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 1: could very, very easily crack into that top five or

1078
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 1: six wide receivers as here all right, Matt who are

1079
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: you taking in round two? That would normally go in

1080
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 1: round three. I don't know why he's going in round three,

1081
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:33,919
Speaker 1: but it's Mike Evans of the Tampa Bay Bucks over

1082
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:36,919
Speaker 1: a thousand yards in every year of his career, eight

1083
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: or more touchdowns and three of his last four seasons.

1084
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 1: Three top ten finishes amongst wide receivers in the last

1085
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 1: four years, and he's never been worse than twenty four

1086
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 1: in his career in a PPR league. So Mike Evans

1087
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: is a pretty nice wide receiver town your roster. My

1088
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:56,919
Speaker 1: reach around in round two is Chris Carson, Seattle running back.

1089
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: He was running back nine last year in PPR, scoring

1090
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 1: nine and he has almost no competition for the job.

1091
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 1: Carlos Hyde is on his fourth team in three years.

1092
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 1: And remember over the last three years, Seattle has had

1093
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 1: the most handoffs two running backs. There's no downside to

1094
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 1: Chris Carson. He belongs in the second round. Let's go

1095
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 1: to round three. Scott, which round four player will you take?

1096
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: In round three? This is really this was a really,

1097
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 1: really tough one for me because Calvin Ridley there's a

1098
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 1: lot of targets available and he has primed for a breakout.

1099
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: But I'm going to do something that I usually do.

1100
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 1: I take tight ends early in leagues. I do. I

1101
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 1: load up on running backs in tight end and I'm

1102
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 1: the guy that grabs the tight end early because I

1103
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 1: want to stud tight end and Mark Andrews with Hayden

1104
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 1: Hurst leaving. Mark Andrews is in that clear top three

1105
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 1: for me now, and I'm I'm taking him there. I

1106
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 1: I think he's he's primed to move into that upper

1107
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 1: echelon for years to come. All right. I've got a J.

1108
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 1: Brown um fourth in the league last year with five

1109
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 1: yard outing. He tied for ninth with eight receiving touchdowns,

1110
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 1: had the most long ball touchdowns of forty plus yards

1111
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 1: in the league with four, just over twenty yards perception.

1112
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 1: And he did all of that, not only eighty four

1113
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: targets and fifty two catches. In year two. You have

1114
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 1: to think he cracks at least a hundred targets, but

1115
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 1: probably a lot more. Probably a J. Brown is a

1116
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: guy that'll get whatever. John. I've done a ton of

1117
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: draps and I've not seen a J. Brown get to

1118
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,640
Speaker 1: the fourth So this never, this is a good call.

1119
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 1: He really should be a third rounder. I've got Cooper

1120
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 1: cup ranked as my wide receiver. I think it is

1121
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:42,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver six seven. He is my wide receiver seven,

1122
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: and I'm getting him in the third round. He finished

1123
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 1: his wide receiver three last year Cooper Cup did, yet

1124
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: nobody wants him. Brandon Cooks is gone, so you know

1125
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: the volume isn't gonna go down any any farther than that.

1126
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 1: He was the second most wide receiver targeted in the

1127
01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 1: red zone last year, and the year before he was

1128
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 1: white up the there. And it's a second year off

1129
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 1: a c L. There are a lot of players who

1130
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 1: have that that year after the first year back from

1131
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 1: a c L are better and more explosive. He scored

1132
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:10,760
Speaker 1: in nine different games last year. He only had two

1133
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 1: bad clunker games all of last season. Two. That's it,

1134
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:18,919
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup is my round three reach around? That Round

1135
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 1: four is really good. It's loaded. Last last I said,

1136
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 1: trade out trader picks from first and second round. Just

1137
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: keep trading down in stockpile third and fourth rounders because

1138
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 1: of this very reason. All right, let's go to round

1139
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,680
Speaker 1: at number four. Which fifth rounder would you take in

1140
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 1: the reach around? Scott Scott Again, we've talked about him

1141
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: in bunch and I think he takes the jump forward

1142
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:44,440
Speaker 1: to be like a top eighteen or so wide receiver.

1143
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 1: It's it's Terry mclaarin going in the fifth. There are

1144
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 1: a couple of guys in this round d J chart

1145
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 1: as well that I think can make that jump in

1146
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 1: top eighteen, top twenty four wide receivers, and you're getting

1147
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,840
Speaker 1: them as your wide receiver. To um, I think that's

1148
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 1: I think that's a good spot for him. Okay, Matt

1149
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:02,920
Speaker 1: t even what are and off discussed already twice in

1150
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 1: this episode, we can move on. I'm taking Kareem Hunt

1151
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 1: as my reach around in round four. Remember last year

1152
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,760
Speaker 1: when he came back from suspension, he was running back fifteen.

1153
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:15,040
Speaker 1: Right now he's going off the board as running back.

1154
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 1: Why everybody believes Cleveland's gonna be better this year than

1155
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: they were last year. So if you are of the

1156
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 1: same mindset I am. Kareem Hunt makes a ton of

1157
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 1: sense as a quick reset to what we're doing. This

1158
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:30,840
Speaker 1: is the reach around we're talking about players we would

1159
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 1: take one round earlier than their their typical draft position

1160
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 1: charge now round five. By the way, I will share

1161
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: our a DP that we're using so people can follow

1162
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 1: along on Twitter. That explosive output, so people will be

1163
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 1: able to see who we're picking out of these rounds.

1164
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 1: To Matt, is that explosive output? I am at Paul

1165
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 1: Charchi and Scott fishes at Scott Fish twenty four. Nick Chubb,

1166
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:58,479
Speaker 1: All that works, all right, that's a good move. Let's

1167
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:01,919
Speaker 1: go to round five. Which sixth rounder would you take

1168
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 1: in round five? Matt Harrison? Oh my god, it's a

1169
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: pity start for Matt. I wasn't even ready a J. Green.

1170
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: He's going in the sixth round, yes, but I'll take

1171
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 1: him in the fifth. He missed all of last season

1172
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 1: with an injury, but really read into that he got

1173
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:21,720
Speaker 1: hurt and he didn't really want to play for the

1174
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 1: Bengals anymore. But they put him on the franchise tag

1175
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 1: this year, so he's got one more year there. He's

1176
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 1: missed time in two of the previous three, but in

1177
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:35,200
Speaker 1: seasons where he's been healthy, he's been basically a slightly

1178
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:38,640
Speaker 1: better version of Julio Jones. And Julio Jones you're picking

1179
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 1: in round two, you can get a J. Green, and

1180
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,480
Speaker 1: you can pick him up easily in round five. Alright, Scott,

1181
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: I am going with J. K. Dobbins. It's possible he's

1182
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 1: the best back on that team, but it's definitely probable

1183
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 1: that he's better than Gus Edwards and Justice Hill, who

1184
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 1: had two six total touches last year. Only three running

1185
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:00,440
Speaker 1: backs on that entire team had more than your touches

1186
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: last year, and those those two, I think all those

1187
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 1: carries go to Dobbins, and Dobbins is a guy that

1188
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 1: can be your league winner if he does supplant mark

1189
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 1: Ingram or if marketing they rest mark Ingram more for

1190
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs? Are they? Or you know, he just beats

1191
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 1: him out. I've got t Y Hilton is my reach

1192
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 1: around player now healthy with Philip Rivers at the helm.

1193
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 1: Most most people, including me, expect a nice rebound for

1194
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,720
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton back to his eighteen fantasy production two

1195
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:29,120
Speaker 1: years ago, but always drafting him that way. He was

1196
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver fourteen two seasons ago, and now he's got

1197
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 1: competent quarterbacking. I think he gets right back into that

1198
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver fourteen fifteen level, and he's being drafted his

1199
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:42,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver twenty eight off the board. Let's go to

1200
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 1: round six. Which seventh rounder would you take in round six?

1201
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 1: Scott See, I love me and just some Deonte Johnson,

1202
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 1: but this is easily Michael Gallup for me. He's I

1203
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,639
Speaker 1: think he's a lock for a hundred plus targets We've

1204
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: talked about him enough already. All Right, I got James White.

1205
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 1: I highlighted White is my sleeper of the week last week.

1206
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 1: I'll available on the podcast. Uh. It's a combination of

1207
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:06,640
Speaker 1: a bad and injured sony Michelle Slash Lamar Miller and

1208
01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback who has thrown shorter and shorter every year.

1209
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 1: In fact, Cam's average depth of target went from ten

1210
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 1: point six sixteen to eight point four to seven point

1211
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 1: three eighteen. He's getting shorter and shorter with his passes,

1212
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:24,479
Speaker 1: but they're becoming more accurate. He's gonna at James White

1213
01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 1: a lot um. That's interesting. I also have James White here,

1214
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:29,639
Speaker 1: and I think, are we just bored of James White?

1215
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 1: Is that what's happening? I think so. I don't understand

1216
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:34,759
Speaker 1: why James White, who just every year finishes like running

1217
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 1: back fifteen in PPR and get nobody seems to ever

1218
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,439
Speaker 1: want to draft James White for some reason. Let's go

1219
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 1: to running Let's go to round number seven. Which eighth

1220
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:47,679
Speaker 1: rounder would you take here? Matt Oh, I'm gonna take

1221
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:51,519
Speaker 1: Tom Brady And he's another guy I highlighted last week. Um,

1222
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,799
Speaker 1: I just I think he has the opportunity to finish

1223
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: as a top five quarterback for sure, but a top

1224
01:09:57,360 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 1: three quarterback is where he predicted him last week. H

1225
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:04,640
Speaker 1: um weapons coaching philosophy, his uncanny ability to steal for

1226
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 1: throw for over six hundred times in a season well

1227
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 1: into his forties. Best wide receivers he's ever had, Tom

1228
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 1: Brady Scott as much as I love Christen Kirk in

1229
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 1: this spot, it's got to be Alexander Mandison because I'm

1230
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 1: that guy in your draft that is stealing Madison. I'm

1231
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:24,759
Speaker 1: stealing Zach Moss, I'm stealing J. K. Dobbins, I'm stealing

1232
01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard. I'm going after all these guys to hopefully

1233
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:31,080
Speaker 1: if something has happen. I'm getting a stud running back.

1234
01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm going with a stud tight end because they're still

1235
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 1: out there at this stage. It's it's my round seven player.

1236
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 1: That round eight player I'm taking around seven is Hayden Hurst.

1237
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst drops into the Austin Hooper role in Atlanta,

1238
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 1: where Hooper was very successful. Hooper average six catches, sixty

1239
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 1: one yards and half a touchdown per game. Here comes

1240
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:52,000
Speaker 1: hayden Hurst was a former first rounder with probably much

1241
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 1: more talent than Austin Hooper has ever had, so I

1242
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 1: think he walks into at least the Hooper numbers and

1243
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,600
Speaker 1: I can get him in round seven. Let's go to

1244
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 1: round eight, Scott, Which round nine player are you willing

1245
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 1: to take in round eight? Well? Uh, the guy I

1246
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:09,519
Speaker 1: want to take you're gonna talk about so while you

1247
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:12,720
Speaker 1: remove your pants, Matt can uh you can? You can

1248
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 1: wait a minute. It's as Zack Moss Bonanza, go chart. Okay,

1249
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:18,519
Speaker 1: we all got Zack Moss. Sorry for the broken record.

1250
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 1: And Zack Moss We've talked about him a lot in

1251
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 1: this show. Utah's all time leading rusher. He inherits Frank

1252
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:26,559
Speaker 1: Gore's eleven carries inside the five and his eighteen carries

1253
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:30,720
Speaker 1: inside the ten. He's got double digit upside, and I've

1254
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 1: already predicted he will score more Fantasy points than Devin Singletarry.

1255
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 1: I will continue to work that. All right, we continue

1256
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,760
Speaker 1: with our reach around. We're gonna do one final round here.

1257
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:44,600
Speaker 1: Which round ten player are you willing to take? In

1258
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 1: round nine? Scott? I'm taking Tony Pollard here for the

1259
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:50,639
Speaker 1: same reasons I said with Madison. I think Tony Pollard,

1260
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 1: if anything happens, is zeke. He's a top five running back.

1261
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:57,800
Speaker 1: I got Mike Gasicki, one of two tight ends in

1262
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:01,639
Speaker 1: the league with over fifty targets last year and zero drops.

1263
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 1: Really fifty targets, not one drop. The other tight end,

1264
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:09,360
Speaker 1: George Kittle. He's pretty good. He's pretty good. So is Mikesicki.

1265
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 1: Uh And it was shown at the end of last

1266
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 1: year where he had seven or more targets in five

1267
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 1: of his last six games and had five touchdowns in

1268
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 1: those final six games. He was top ten in a

1269
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:23,120
Speaker 1: lot of categories. He's good. I'm taking Manuel Sanders, a

1270
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 1: guy just completely overlooked by by fantasy owners. He probably

1271
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:32,040
Speaker 1: finishes as Drew Brees second most targeted player behind Michael Thomas.

1272
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:34,760
Speaker 1: Only Michael Thomas and Brice hasn't had the luxury of

1273
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 1: a competent second receiver since Brandon Cooks in twenties sixteen,

1274
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:44,879
Speaker 1: the last he was the last competent number two receiver

1275
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 1: Drew Brees had you know what Cooks did that year

1276
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 1: twelve hundred yards and eight touchdowns. Lander seems good. A

1277
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:57,800
Speaker 1: competent number two to Drew Brees, maybe most of yards

1278
01:12:57,800 --> 01:13:01,760
Speaker 1: and eight touchdowns, that would be fantastic. Emmanuel Sanders is

1279
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: the final reach around for us if you have not

1280
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:07,679
Speaker 1: yet tried a Guillotine League. It's a fascinating, fresh new

1281
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:11,040
Speaker 1: format in which seventeen teams start the season and every

1282
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:13,920
Speaker 1: week the low scoring team of that week gets cut

1283
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 1: and their entire roster goes the waiver wire and become

1284
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 1: free agents where everybody else can bid on them. It

1285
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:23,640
Speaker 1: is the most fascinating new format and fantasy sports and

1286
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 1: you can play it at Guillotine leagues dot com. Paul Charchi,

1287
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:29,799
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison, Scott Fish with you for more Fantasy Football Weekly.

1288
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:55,559
Speaker 1: Final segment coming up next final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly.

1289
01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 1: Paul Chiarchi in, Scott Fish, Matt Harrison, thank you for

1290
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 1: joining us. If you any part of the show, we

1291
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:03,360
Speaker 1: encourage you to check out the podcast version if you

1292
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 1: are listening to it over the air, where you can

1293
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:08,519
Speaker 1: go back and hear the entire show. And I think

1294
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 1: it's safe to say that we were brilliant early in

1295
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:12,600
Speaker 1: the show, so you ought to do that. Well, you

1296
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 1: and Scott were, that's for sure. That's a good point.

1297
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 1: I think Scott Scott I really carried the show. If

1298
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:19,519
Speaker 1: you were just going to be frank about it in

1299
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 1: this segment. We're going to look at the vacated targets,

1300
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 1: by which we mean when teams go through their off season,

1301
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of the past is thrown.

1302
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 1: Are the players that are gone now? So where those

1303
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:33,599
Speaker 1: paths is gonna go this year? One of the great

1304
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:37,080
Speaker 1: ways to identify players who are about to emerge with

1305
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 1: bigger seasons is to look at the vacated targets from

1306
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:43,120
Speaker 1: the teams they are on. Scott, I have challenged you

1307
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:46,680
Speaker 1: to come up with the list, and perhaps this is

1308
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 1: by do we want to go by the most vacated target.

1309
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 1: Let's go by the most vacated He actually challenged me,

1310
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 1: but then pulled it back and said, no, Scott will

1311
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 1: do a better job. You know what, you know, take

1312
01:14:57,200 --> 01:15:03,080
Speaker 1: it back. Can you hand me your computer please? Well,

1313
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:05,679
Speaker 1: let's let's start off with the Atlanta Falcons who lost

1314
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 1: a ridiculous uh basically over sixteen targets per game. I'll

1315
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:13,320
Speaker 1: do it per game instead of act I think that

1316
01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 1: is better. Yeah, let's go see. Targets per game is

1317
01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:19,160
Speaker 1: a lot. You know, most quarterbacks might throw thirty two

1318
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:21,559
Speaker 1: a game. You know, like half your targets are gone. Yep,

1319
01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:26,759
Speaker 1: exactly so, so half of the Falcons targets per game left,

1320
01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 1: and in came Todd Gurley, who's had ninety receptions over

1321
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 1: the last two years. He not catch the ball, but

1322
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 1: he's and basically what Freeman left, he's gonna probably pick off. Uh.

1323
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:41,680
Speaker 1: And then a whole bunch from Austin Hooper, which is

1324
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:43,680
Speaker 1: basically going to go to hayden Hurst unless we think

1325
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 1: Treadwell is gonna I don't think that's gonna happen. No,

1326
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:49,600
Speaker 1: So you're predicting a big year out of hers, do

1327
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 1: you think? Yes? As I as I mentioned last last segment,

1328
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:55,720
Speaker 1: I love hayden Hurst. He's my number four tight end.

1329
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:58,200
Speaker 1: By the way, we joke about the preseason games, but

1330
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:01,120
Speaker 1: I called well, we all called us last year the

1331
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:04,799
Speaker 1: first preseason last game last year where Atlanta kept throwing

1332
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:07,160
Speaker 1: to their tight ends, we called it out on the show,

1333
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:11,559
Speaker 1: and then Austin Hooper happened. From time to time, we

1334
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 1: do get things right on this show. It's we all

1335
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 1: want to brag about all the things that we get right.

1336
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:19,240
Speaker 1: But we got that one right. But by the way,

1337
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:22,959
Speaker 1: eighteen targets inside the ten gone from the Atlanta Falcons.

1338
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 1: Julio Jones get to double digit touchdowns. He's gotten better

1339
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:30,920
Speaker 1: recently over on his touchdown only one season and double

1340
01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 1: digits though, He's do all right. So if Atlanta has

1341
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 1: the most vacated targets, two second Dallas Cowboys with about

1342
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 1: twelve and most of that is twelve per game, which

1343
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:44,920
Speaker 1: most of it is Witten. And if you think, if

1344
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 1: you think Jarwin's gonna slide right into that role, uh,

1345
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:49,759
Speaker 1: you know he was. He was about tight end twelve

1346
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 1: last year Witten. Jarwin's got that upside, I guess if

1347
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:54,759
Speaker 1: he can take it on. But remember they got see

1348
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 1: Lamb too catches and yep, yep. So that's the tricky

1349
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 1: part on on jar when I think he feels like

1350
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 1: to me, a matchup based starter, Yeah, a matchup based

1351
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 1: tight end two is what with with with some decent

1352
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:09,160
Speaker 1: upside just because it is that opportunity is there and

1353
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:11,799
Speaker 1: that offense could be really good with all those weapons,

1354
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:16,600
Speaker 1: you know, possibly raising that target number. Uh. Washington Redskins

1355
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 1: eleven points seven targets per game opened up with a

1356
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 1: loss of guys like Paul Richardson and Jordan Read guys

1357
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 1: that they got a G. G. Gandy Golden came in. Uh,

1358
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:29,880
Speaker 1: they got a couple of running backs that catch the

1359
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:33,800
Speaker 1: ball J J. H. Mckissic, J. D. Mckissic and uh

1360
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:36,640
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson. I think they're gonna use it gives in

1361
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 1: a decent amount catching the ball um. But yeah, that

1362
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 1: I can see those those eleven twelve targets per game

1363
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:45,640
Speaker 1: going mostly there and maybe a little bit extra to

1364
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:49,799
Speaker 1: McLaren um. Next down the list, about the same amount

1365
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:53,639
Speaker 1: lost the New York Jets. They only they lost Robbie Anderson,

1366
01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:56,679
Speaker 1: a bunch of low level players brought in Mims and Perriman.

1367
01:17:56,760 --> 01:18:00,679
Speaker 1: Mims already dealing with a hamstring injury. We we see

1368
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:03,679
Speaker 1: we see Pairman probably jumping right into the Robbie roll.

1369
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 1: I think it's almost a one for one change right there.

1370
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 1: I I would I would project Pairman right in line

1371
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 1: with what Robbie did, which was just okay. Now, what

1372
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 1: about Chris Herndon's who's getting a lot of love for

1373
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,800
Speaker 1: people as a sleeper tight end and he's flashed some

1374
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 1: ability before, but super inconsistent injuries and a lot of

1375
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:23,519
Speaker 1: other risk with him. Yep, he could play into that.

1376
01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's it's not an offense. I really want

1377
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:30,800
Speaker 1: to invest in the problem, right, Who wants to invest

1378
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 1: in Adam gay slid offense? Yeah? Not me. Yeah, he's

1379
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:37,200
Speaker 1: been he's been day near the league low in place

1380
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 1: per game offensive place per games since even the Miami years. Yeah,

1381
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 1: it's really tough to score points when you just don't

1382
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:49,599
Speaker 1: have the ball for enough place. Who is your fifth

1383
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 1: most what's the team with the fifth most vacated targets? Right?

1384
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 1: About the same as the Redskins and Jets. Excuse me,

1385
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 1: the Washington team and the Jets. The Miami Dolphins with

1386
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 1: eleven targets per game gone. A lot of them were

1387
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 1: running back targets, believe it or not, layered ballage. Yeah,

1388
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:11,760
Speaker 1: Walton Draking Gaskin combined for a hundred twenty targets. Man

1389
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:15,960
Speaker 1: is Matt Brita a sneaky super sleeper. That's exactly where

1390
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:18,759
Speaker 1: I'm going with this, is that Matt Brita, that hundred

1391
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:20,720
Speaker 1: twenty targets. I know some of those players are still

1392
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:23,120
Speaker 1: kind of there, but let's be honest, they're lost. Those

1393
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 1: players are not getting those targets. They're not this year.

1394
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 1: Those hundred twenty targets. Jargean Howard doesn't catch if you

1395
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:32,360
Speaker 1: tell me Brita gets seventy catches this year. I'm not

1396
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:34,439
Speaker 1: shocked at the end of the year. Man, you know,

1397
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:37,479
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that they had lost that many passes

1398
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:40,519
Speaker 1: to running back. That's just running back targets. A hundred

1399
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 1: darn Brita sneaky last pick off your draft, all right?

1400
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:48,240
Speaker 1: I like that angle, all right? So that's our top

1401
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:52,839
Speaker 1: five vacated targets. Yes, I will say on the Miami Dolphins,

1402
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:56,400
Speaker 1: they lost Albert Wilson and Alan Hearn's who who had

1403
01:19:56,439 --> 01:19:58,680
Speaker 1: more targets than I thought they would. So I think

1404
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 1: that only really ample eyes Preston Williams. It always comes

1405
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:07,120
Speaker 1: back to Preston Williams. Yeah. I know there's some Isaiah

1406
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:10,960
Speaker 1: Ford slot love out there. That's Brian's sleeper from last week,

1407
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 1: But it's Preston Williams. Brian's more wrong than I am.

1408
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 1: There's a pecking order here, I think very firmly established

1409
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:23,120
Speaker 1: that do you want to go any deeper than the

1410
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:26,040
Speaker 1: top five? Well, I could. I could say the Arizona

1411
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:28,960
Speaker 1: Cardinals lost a hundred fifty six targets and Hopkins had

1412
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:31,519
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty last year, So did they get

1413
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:34,640
Speaker 1: absorbed by Hopkins? I made this joke earlier. It's like

1414
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:37,840
Speaker 1: a fantasy league where you lose a bunch of like

1415
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:39,840
Speaker 1: you trade a bunch of bottom level players and you

1416
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:43,120
Speaker 1: just get one stud back. That's that's basically what they did.

1417
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 1: Add that up. That always works. Yeah, so that's about it.

1418
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:48,880
Speaker 1: I could go more if you want me to, but

1419
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:50,960
Speaker 1: we got sleepers to talk. We do have sleepers to

1420
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 1: talk about. Every week of the season, we unveil a

1421
01:20:56,640 --> 01:21:00,479
Speaker 1: different sleeper that we are backing. Matprit just could just

1422
01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:03,480
Speaker 1: be mine not I mean, I don't tempt me. Um

1423
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:07,200
Speaker 1: that we that we think is going vastly under drafted,

1424
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:09,680
Speaker 1: we think, well, I'll perform his draft position. So it

1425
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:11,680
Speaker 1: could be a guy who's going in round ten, do

1426
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:13,800
Speaker 1: you think will perform like a sixth rounder, or could

1427
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 1: even be a fourth rounder. You think it's gonna be

1428
01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 1: like a first rounder. So anybody who's going to significantly

1429
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:27,120
Speaker 1: outperform his draft position. We begin with WHOA I'm feeling

1430
01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 1: I'm feeling some remorse right now. I don't think I

1431
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:32,599
Speaker 1: have treated you fairly over the course of the show, Matt.

1432
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 1: I want you to leave with your head on up high. Well,

1433
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:40,800
Speaker 1: I'll leave with my head held high. If somebody comes

Speaker 1: year for twenty bucks a Shock Fantasy nice and easy.

1437
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:53,400
Speaker 1: Um my sleeper And I did mention this in the

1438
01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:56,919
Speaker 1: Bell cowse segment. There were four backfields that are awful

1439
01:21:56,960 --> 01:22:00,160
Speaker 1: and brutal to try to predict. Last week I trick

1440
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 1: to James White out of the New England backfield. That's

1441
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 1: one of them. This week, I'm going Malcolm Brown out

1442
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:09,360
Speaker 1: of the l a Rams back, very unpopular, pick the popular.

1443
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:11,840
Speaker 1: He's the third and a DP among the Rams backs

1444
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 1: right now. Last year, the Rams were third in the

1445
01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 1: league in red zone carries and second in touchdowns in

1446
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 1: the red zone. In fact, in three years under Sean McVeigh,

1447
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 1: the Rams have never finished worse then third in the

1448
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 1: league in carries inside the twenty while Todd Gurley took

1449
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:35,599
Speaker 1: fifteen carries from inside the five last year and converted

1450
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:41,719
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns, which is a really good right there. Malcolm

1451
01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:46,680
Speaker 1: Brown had eight carries, which is just over half, and

1452
01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 1: he had five touchdowns. That's a sixty two percent success rate.

1453
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:54,160
Speaker 1: So together Gurley and Brown made up of the runs

1454
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:56,760
Speaker 1: inside the five. So I'm not worried about Darrell Henderson here.

1455
01:22:57,080 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 1: Cam Akers is the other guy. He could end up

1456
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:01,679
Speaker 1: being the between mean the twenties runner. But I think

1457
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:04,960
Speaker 1: the success that Malcolm Brown showed last year makes him

1458
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:07,720
Speaker 1: the goal line guy on one of the most prolific

1459
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 1: goal line running offenses in the league. So get that

1460
01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:13,040
Speaker 1: guy on your roster with the very last pick in

1461
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 1: your draft. Malcolm Brown, I like it. You made a

1462
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:19,120
Speaker 1: compelling case. That's I'm You've kind of convinced me. You're

1463
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:21,519
Speaker 1: always surprised when I kind of convinced you too. It's

1464
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:25,240
Speaker 1: it's pretty funny, Scott, who is your sleeper this week?

1465
01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Joshua Kelly, the guy I'm grabbing

1466
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:32,360
Speaker 1: late in a lot of leagues. Uh. Matt has gone

1467
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:35,240
Speaker 1: over all that the Chargers lost with Melvin Gordon and

1468
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:38,799
Speaker 1: mentioned maybe Austin Clark takes a lot of work. Austin

1469
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 1: Ekeler had two touches this year the last year. Even

1470
01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 1: if he gets up to seventy five, there's about two

1471
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:50,200
Speaker 1: hundred more touches to go around. The Chargers lost fourteen

1472
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:54,519
Speaker 1: touches inside the five um with the loss of Melvin

1473
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:57,000
Speaker 1: which is a lot. Yeah, which touches for one player

1474
01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:59,680
Speaker 1: inside the five is a lot of carries. Yeah, and

1475
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:04,760
Speaker 1: Kelly is easily the biggest of them, although it looks fine,

1476
01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:08,439
Speaker 1: even though Kelly's bigger, Austin Uler looks pretty big. But

1477
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:12,599
Speaker 1: that's a hundred carries, sixty three sixty three receptions all

1478
01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 1: that Josh Kelly could get. And another thing people aren't

1479
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:18,960
Speaker 1: talking about quite enough. This offense is going to be different.

1480
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:21,599
Speaker 1: They threw the ball in five ninety seven times last year.

1481
01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:25,599
Speaker 1: Tyrad Teller has never thrown the ball over. They might

1482
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:28,439
Speaker 1: run a ton more, I think this year, so there

1483
01:24:28,479 --> 01:24:30,760
Speaker 1: might be even more carries available for Josh Kelly. And

1484
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:32,320
Speaker 1: we don't even know that that. We don't even know

1485
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 1: what the starting quarterback is going to be. You know,

1486
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 1: probably be tailor in week one, but at some point

1487
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 1: they may he may hand the reins off to Herbert

1488
01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:42,680
Speaker 1: and then run that much more. We know as they

1489
01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:47,120
Speaker 1: work in a rookie quarterback. My sleeper is Baker Mayfield.

1490
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 1: Last year, he was quarterback six in drafts at this

1491
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:56,439
Speaker 1: time last year. Now he's quarterback sixteen. Despite the fact

1492
01:24:56,479 --> 01:25:00,400
Speaker 1: that he is a year older, wiser, more exp rienst

1493
01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:02,720
Speaker 1: and has so many more things going for him now,

1494
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:08,599
Speaker 1: like competent coaching and Kevin Stefanski, who unlocked the best

1495
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:12,240
Speaker 1: season of Kirk Cousin's career last year. He's got the

1496
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:17,160
Speaker 1: He's got five receiving options around him, including new edition

1497
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:21,640
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper plus Odell Beckham Jarvis Landry, both of his

1498
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 1: starting running backs are excellent receivers out of the backfield.

1499
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:29,759
Speaker 1: He's got all of those. Reminder that Baker Mayfield finished

1500
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:33,280
Speaker 1: last year pretty well. He was RB sorry Qbirt in

1501
01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:35,880
Speaker 1: the second half of last year. I've despite a disastrous

1502
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:39,320
Speaker 1: start when he was like QB. The team addressed that

1503
01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:42,080
Speaker 1: offensive line, and I love this part for him signing

1504
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:44,920
Speaker 1: Jack Conklin in free agency and then putting that first

1505
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:48,439
Speaker 1: round draft pick on Jedrick Wills. The two tackle upgrades,

1506
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:52,479
Speaker 1: and their interior line was actually really really good as

1507
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:55,679
Speaker 1: far as grades with Pro Football focus, and their tackles

1508
01:25:55,680 --> 01:26:00,439
Speaker 1: were brutal. Yeah, and it's expressed it all the things

1509
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:03,080
Speaker 1: that are going right in Cleveland, and yet Baker Mayfield

1510
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:08,639
Speaker 1: going off the board in the eleventh round. Right, many

1511
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:11,840
Speaker 1: people got burned by Baker last thing. So hey, speaking

1512
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:14,559
Speaker 1: of the of the Chargers, let's talk Keenan Allen for

1513
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:18,120
Speaker 1: just a moment um. Currently going off the board roughly

1514
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:23,799
Speaker 1: wide receiver twenty five. Is there something wrong with Keenan

1515
01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 1: Allen besides this quarterback? Do you guys feel like this

1516
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 1: is the right spot for I think I think he's

1517
01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:32,120
Speaker 1: being underdrafted by a fair margin. I'm gobbling him up

1518
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 1: in like the fifth round and like just about every

1519
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:36,120
Speaker 1: draft I'm in, and I didn't mention him and reach

1520
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:40,120
Speaker 1: around though us did. He's just always there. I think

1521
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:42,000
Speaker 1: he's boring. He's been around for a long time. He

1522
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:44,639
Speaker 1: hasn't scored a lot of touchdowns in the last few years,

1523
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 1: but he's very consistent from receptions and yard standpoints. So

1524
01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:50,599
Speaker 1: it's a great guy to have. Is your wide receiver

1525
01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:53,840
Speaker 1: two or maybe wide receiver three on a really good team.

1526
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 1: You know, one of the things we've talked about in

1527
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:59,280
Speaker 1: past seasons, not this year, is a boring draft in

1528
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:01,120
Speaker 1: which you just you draft a lot of players that

1529
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:03,560
Speaker 1: people are just bored up for no good reason. I

1530
01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:06,679
Speaker 1: think t Y Hilton fits the bill, James White fits

1531
01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:10,599
Speaker 1: that bill. Keenan Allen fits that bill. As just players

1532
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:14,600
Speaker 1: that are really good players, maybe not explosive players, but

1533
01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:16,960
Speaker 1: really good players who were just like man, I've been

1534
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:19,920
Speaker 1: drafting a guy for years and he just doesn't excite

1535
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 1: me as much as some of the other players do.

1536
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:24,479
Speaker 1: And I think Keenan Allen falls into that a little bit.

1537
01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:28,360
Speaker 1: How much, if any does Tyrod Taylor hurt Keenan Allen.

1538
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:33,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it hurts. Tyrod's a professional quarterback. I

1539
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:35,240
Speaker 1: mean he's been a he's been a backup for years.

1540
01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:38,559
Speaker 1: But if if that team is throwing the ball hunter

1541
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:40,679
Speaker 1: in fifty less times, I mean it's gonna it's gonna

1542
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 1: hurt a little would hurt. Yeah, I think maybe Keenan

1543
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 1: Allen's his issue is probably just like we've talked about,

1544
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:50,400
Speaker 1: that fourth and fifth round for the fourth round is

1545
01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:55,360
Speaker 1: just loaded with high high up the Ridley's, the A. J. Brown's,

1546
01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:58,880
Speaker 1: the Metcalfs, the Cooper Cops, the Kenny Golladays. Like you

1547
01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:01,320
Speaker 1: want the sky high potential of all of those instead

1548
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:03,360
Speaker 1: of the safe I'm going to be wide receiver nine

1549
01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:06,839
Speaker 1: to fifteen Keenan Allen. Keenan Allen is a Guillotine League receiver.

1550
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:09,839
Speaker 1: You want to get him in a gill team safe

1551
01:28:10,240 --> 01:28:14,400
Speaker 1: easy numbers. Every week, I'll give you another guy, Julian Edelman. Sure,

1552
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:17,960
Speaker 1: older veteran receiver, always good. Nobody wants him. Is he

1553
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 1: going wide receiver? But people are doing with this with

1554
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:23,639
Speaker 1: zach Ertz this year too. Yeah, there's probably a little

1555
01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 1: bit of that for zach Ertz. Yeah. I don't like,

1556
01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't get it. But there are opportunities out there

1557
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:31,280
Speaker 1: for savvy fantasy players. If you are a savvy fantasy player,
