00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, fantasy coaches, and welcome to the Fantasy Pros

2
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: Football Podcast. I'm your host, Bobby Sylvester, and today I'll

3
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: be joined by Marcus Grant of NFL dot com, the

4
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: most fashionable man in the fantasy industry. We'll be answering

5
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: listener questions from the mail bag, discussion draft strategy, and

6
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: blitzing through some boomer Bus players. We're experiencing some technical

7
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: issues today so that the audio might be a little

8
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: bit choppy, but please continue listening because the content is great.

9
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: I think this is the best show we've done yet,

10
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: and if you bear with it, you are really going

11
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: to be happy with what you hear. It's great information,

12
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: so please stick around. As always, I've got producer JP

13
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: Gail by my side, and here we go. I've now

14
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: got Marcus with me, and as I said, Marcus is

15
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: from NFL dot com and can be found on Twitter

16
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: at m A r CSG. Marcus. Thanks for joining us.

17
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: Hey guys, thanks for having me on. I appreciate it. Marcus,

18
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: I especially appreciate you being patient. You waited so long

19
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: while we got the technical issues worked out. And if

20
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: you are as good at an analyzing football as you

21
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: are at being patient. Man, I'm excited to hear what

22
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: you have to say. So, Marcus, I was reading that

23
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: you were a soccer player growing up. Is that true? Uh? Yeah,

24
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: I mean I played. I played youth soccer, I played

25
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: a little bit of high school soccer, and then my

26
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: mom decided it would be better for me to focus

27
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: on academics. And so while I love my mom to

28
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: death and you know, things have worked out okay for me,

29
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: there is a part of me that wonders what my

30
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: life might have been like had I pursued that. Could

31
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: I be playing you know, national team soccer or anything

32
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: like that. Probably not, but you know, it's always it's

33
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: always fun to dream, right. Yeah. Well I was a

34
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: soccer player too, so this is funny. Two soccer guys

35
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: doing a fantasy football. I was a goalie, though, so

36
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't really count. I also return kickoffs and puns

37
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: for the football team, but the same thing doesn't count.

38
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you say, the rest, like the

39
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: rest of the world, American football wasn't real, and soccer

40
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: was football here in America where all the best athletes

41
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: played it. Which American football players would dominate at soccer

42
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: if they grew up playing it. Oh well, I mean

43
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: we already know Odell Beckham is already an outstanding soccer player.

44
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's there's something about just kind

45
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: of having that athleticism. So I think there are a

46
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: lot of you know, wide receivers and defensive backs who

47
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: would be great at soccer. I mean, Beckham is a

48
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: certainly top of the list. Um sure, think who else

49
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: out there would be really good? I think I think

50
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: somebody like, uh, you know, Antonio Brown would be another

51
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: one I think would excel. And I think I try

52
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: to think some running backs. There's gotta be some running

53
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: backs out there who I think would be good at it.

54
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: Maybe Zeke Zekiel Elliot because he seems like he's just

55
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: good at everything. The final guy that I think of

56
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: is Patrick Peterson. I just feel like he would be

57
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: a freak of nature in any sport him. You know,

58
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: I would say him, and I would say Tyrn Matthew

59
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: as well. Who's another guy? Yeah? All right, Well, we're

60
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: going to start off with the listener mail bag, and

61
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: the first question comes to us from Rich in Texas,

62
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: and he wants to know should we take Fantasy playoff

63
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: week matchups into account when drafting a player. For instance,

64
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: Dan Lewis has to play the Denver and the Jets

65
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: in Week fifteen and sixteen, I would say I'd build

66
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: my fantasy roster around what's going to happen in the

67
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs, just because you can't ever really completely tell

68
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: how good or bad and opposing defense is going to be,

69
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: and we all have an idea, but things shans throughout

70
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: the year. I think you start to pay attention to

71
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: that more when you get midway through the year, and

72
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: especially when you're starting to close in on your trading deadline.

73
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: Then you can kind of start to get an idea

74
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: at that point of which defenses could be a problem,

75
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: which defenses might provide him, because I think, you know,

76
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: trying to try to protect that sort of thing this

77
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: far out. You're talking about being august and totally comfortable

78
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: trying to build my roster that way. Yeah, I mean,

79
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: because he used to say that Sheldon Richardson's not going

80
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: to drive one hundred and twenty again and end up

81
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: suspending that Jet's defensive line doesn't look as great in

82
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: Week sixteen as it didn't at the start of the season. Yeah, No,

83
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: it's absolutely right. I mean, it's just it's just so

84
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: there's so many things to go into account. I mean,

85
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: you know, we talk about it offensively, how you never know,

86
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, who's going to end up being a waiver

87
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: wire hero, what have you. I think similarly, it's it's

88
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: hard to project defenses. I mean, you know, right now,

89
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: say you know, the Texans defense looks great, you know,

90
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: and not that I'm wishing injury on anybody, but you

91
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: know what happens if J. J. Watt is gone halfway

92
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,119
Speaker 1: through the year, and that completely changes how that Deven cooks.

93
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: The third question comes us from Sam and Kansas, and

94
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: he wants to know, if you could choose your pick

95
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: in a twelve team league, which picks would be your

96
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: first choice and which would be your worst choice. For me,

97
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: I just want to be anywhere that I can make

98
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: sure I get Ezekiel Elliott. So I think AID is

99
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: the best spot for me. I really do think that

100
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: he's going to be the first or second US running

101
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: back this season being behind that Dallas offensive line. We

102
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: saw what less talented running backs have done behind that

103
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: offensive line Daring Badden last year. I think Ezekiel l

104
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: It's more talented than DeMarco Murray. So I want Elliott

105
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: and I want Lady on Bell in that swing around.

106
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: If I can get those two running backs, man, just

107
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: imagine going to the playoffs with those two guys. You know,

108
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: I see's thinking about that, and I agree with that.

109
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: I love Zeke this year, and you know, if I

110
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: can get Levy on Bell, it's certainly if I can

111
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: just you know, give myself enough cushion to survive that

112
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: first four weeks or whatever without him, that'd be great.

113
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: The problem with doing this job is that I'm in

114
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: leagues with friends. I mean to like, pinpoint certain guys

115
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: because all my friends know who it is that I like,

116
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: and I start targeting him and I get sniped. I

117
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: get sniped a million times in all my draffs. Well,

118
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: that means that they all trust your judgment. They all

119
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,799
Speaker 1: think you're a genius, right, which means I should actually

120
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: start like, you know, kind of throwing them off my

121
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: scent a little bit and like you know, kind of

122
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: sandbagging or something like. I feel like I should just

123
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: do that and tell guys, you know, hey, you should

124
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: spend a first round pick on you know, I don't know.

125
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: Darren McFadden or something. I don't think I could get that,

126
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: but yeah, something, I don't know anything that would be brilliant.

127
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: The person that I would point them towards is DeAndre

128
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: Hopkins because I want to avoid DeAndre Hopkins at all costs.

129
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: I don't trust that he's going to keep it up

130
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: this season because they're not going to be playing from

131
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: behind as much. He got so many of his yards

132
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: in garbage time. So I would just say, oh, yeah,

133
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: I'm really high in DeAndre Hopkins, and then they'll take that.

134
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: And the final question comes us from Bill in Minnesota,

135
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: and he wants to know if you plan on streaming defenses,

136
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: who should you target for Week one? If I am

137
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: streaming a defense in the first week of the season,

138
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I'm gonna pick on somebody that

139
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: doesn't have a great quarterback. I mean, immediately I would

140
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: say the Broncos. But the Panthers are not going to

141
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: be a streaming option for anybody. I mean, that's the

142
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: defense that is for sure going to be off the

143
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: board when it's all said and done. I actually, you know,

144
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: it depends on how you feel about the Texans, although

145
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: I think there are another defense that could probably be

146
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: off the board in first round. I actually would take

147
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: a look maybe at the Colts, maybe because I'm just

148
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: not sold on Matt Stafford and I know they're going

149
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: to try to change things a little bit with that

150
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: defense and try to go short passing. Maybe if you

151
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: believe in the Raiders, which I certainly do, they could

152
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: be an interesting option, you know, going against the Saints

153
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: in that first week, if Khalil Mack could get off

154
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: the get off the blocks quickly give himself a few sacks,

155
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: if they can do something with that secondary. Obviously Charles

156
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: Woodson isn't there now anymore after retiring, but I think

157
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: they feel confident that they've actually done some good things

158
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: in the secondary. For me, I'm taking San Francisco forty

159
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: nine ers, and I understand their defense is several steps

160
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: back from where it was several years ago. But they're

161
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: going up against the Rams, and I'm sorry, I mean,

162
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: you guys all know I hate the Rams, but this

163
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: doesn't have anything to do with hiding the Rams. It

164
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: has to do with the Rams consistently putting forth bad offense.

165
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they were worse than the league in plays

166
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: run last year. They've got a rookie quarterback who knows

167
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: if he's gonna even start. If he doesn't, Case Kingdom's

168
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: gonna start, and he's a turn over machine. So I'm

169
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: if i'm streaming, I'm going with the forty nine ers,

170
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna let my league mates laugh at me.

171
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: In fact, I'm not even drafting a defense this year.

172
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna wait and pick up the forty nine ers.

173
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a backup running back and if he

174
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: doesn't get the job, which he probably won't, then I'll

175
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: cut him right before. But you know, if a guy

176
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: does get hurt, there's like a five percent chance in preseason.

177
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm taking that chance rather than even drafting a defense.

178
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: All right, Well that's all the questions we have for

179
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: the Listener Mailbag. If you're listening and you want to

180
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: be a part of the Listener Mailbag, please shoot me

181
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: an email at Bobby at Fantasy pros dot com or

182
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: tweet me at Bobby Fantasy pro and if it's a

183
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: good one, we'll be sure to get on here. I

184
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: try to respond to all of them, so just go

185
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: ahead and wait, because we're real busy during fantasy football season,

186
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: as you can imagine, so I'll get to it eventually.

187
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: All right, onto the next segment, And this one really

188
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 1: excites me because I love talking about strategy, and we're

189
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: gonna talk about draft strategy here. Can you tell us

190
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: a little bit about this all suspension team? Is this

191
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: a real thing or is it just a joke? Right now?

192
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: I think there's somebody out there's some people out there

193
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: who are really thinking about this whole suspension team. Let

194
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: me just let me just make a public service announcement,

195
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: don't do it. Talk to Levion Bell and Tom Brady

196
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: and these guys come back and somehow they're just gonna

197
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: be a house of fire. And but you're you're really

198
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: you're you're killing your bench spots, You're killing roster spots,

199
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: holding on to these guys and waiting for them. Um,

200
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: when you know, you never know what happened. You know,

201
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: there's there's probably gonna be somebody that you draft who

202
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: either underperforms to start the season or you know, Heaven forbid,

203
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: gets hurt. Then all of a sudden, what do you do?

204
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: Then you're really kind of stuff. I feel like the

205
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: only people who are willing to do this are super

206
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: arrogant and think that they're just gonna They're gonna be

207
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: able to walk through the league the final, you know,

208
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: eight weeks and make the playoffs. So you know they're

209
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: they're willing to take that chance. And that's why I'm

210
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: one of the people who is willing to do it,

211
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: because when I'm in I am willing to be super arrogant.

212
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: I don't just want to beat them. I want to

213
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: beat them in a in a super unique way that

214
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: just makes them feel like, Wow, that guy's a genius.

215
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: And so I dried this last year and they're worn't

216
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: as many options, but it didn't work out for me.

217
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: I finished second to the league in points, but because

218
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: I was just terrible in those first four weeks, it

219
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: didn't work out for me. So I'm right with you.

220
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: Don't do it. It's a it's fun to do, and

221
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: if you want to make some noise and make people laugh,

222
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: it's good to do. But you know, if there's money

223
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: on the line, this is a horrible, horrible schiss. Yes, absolutely,

224
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: just just you know again, stay away please. Now. One

225
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: that I think might be legitimate is the zero running

226
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: back strategy. What do you think about this one? I

227
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: guess you asked me about zero RB I kind of

228
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: like I lost the end of it. But um yeah,

229
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: zero RB is is totally legit, and I know I

230
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: top nine getting them, especially because you look at running backs,

231
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: they're only a handful of guys that you can count

232
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: on to be workhorse backs. The rest of these guys

233
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: are nice options, but you're probably gonna have to cycle through.

234
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: You're gonna be working in committees, You're gonna be streaming

235
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: a lot of running backs at this point. So I

236
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: understand that, and I actually have tried that in a

237
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: few mock drafts, and I you know, with mixed results.

238
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: When when I look at the roster overall, I would say,

239
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: if you are going to do that, understand that the

240
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: guy who is your RB one is not going to

241
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: be somebody who will immediately excite you off the top.

242
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I think if you're going zero RB, then

243
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: your first running back will probably look like a guy,

244
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: you know, like a C. J. Anderson or or somebody

245
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: like that. Maybe maybe you're lucky you can get a

246
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: mark Ingram or something, but it's not You're not going

247
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: to get a Zeek or you know, even a Jamal

248
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: Charles or Adrian Peterson. That's just not gonna happen. So

249
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: understand that going in and understand that it also means

250
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna have to play the waiver wire a

251
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: little bit more. You're gonna have to watch week to

252
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: week who the guys are, who are gonna start to

253
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: get carried, and who's going to emerge from some of

254
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: these running back committees. So in that respect, starts studying.

255
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: I'll look at, you know, Chris Ivory down in Jacksonville.

256
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: These are the kind of guys who are gonna have

257
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: to make an impact for you, and you know it's

258
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: gonna have to be a week to week situation. You're

259
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: not gonna find one guy, you know, off the waiver

260
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: wire or in late round that you can plug in

261
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: and feel confident he's going to give you a win weekend,

262
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: week out. You know. I've even heard guys going as

263
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: extreme as waiting until like the six or seventh round

264
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: to draft they're running back and they go with Danny woodhead,

265
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: Giovanni Bernard and then Theo Rittic. You can do that

266
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: that kind of thing in a PPR league, but those

267
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: guys aren't gonna last that late. I've done a lot

268
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 1: of mock drafts with this. I use Draft Wizard, which

269
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: you can find in fantasypros dot com, and you can

270
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: blitz through twenty or thirty mock drafts during your lunch break. Okay,

271
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: that's maybe exaggerating, but you can do a lot in

272
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: one afternoon because you're not facing all these chumps in uh,

273
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: you know, the Yahoo or ESPN mock drafts who are

274
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: screwing around and talking trash and taking in a minute

275
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: and fifteen to make their their ninth pick. You know

276
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like, you can just blitz right through it.

277
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: You're drafting against the experts. When people put their rankings

278
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: on our list, they show up in draft Wizard. And

279
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: I like my team when I do the zero running

280
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: back strategy. But what I like even more is when

281
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: I wait really long on a wide receiver. I'm zigging

282
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: when everyone else is zagging. Everyone's done. I know, I know,

283
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: I don't have the guts to wait. You talk about

284
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: guys waiglo six or seventh round, like, I don't have that.

285
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have that kind of courage. Um.

286
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: Like I look around in like round four and I

287
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: start to see who was off the board, and I

288
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: freak out a little bit um. But yeah, because because

289
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: some of these guys are some of these guys that

290
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: are a little bit lower down than I really like.

291
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: Like I love C. J. Anderson this year. Maybe it's

292
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: because he and I are from the same hometown. I

293
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: don't know. That's cool, you know. I like mark Ingram

294
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: a lot this year. I like Geobernard. You mentioned Gio Bernard.

295
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have a fantastic year if we

296
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: could somehow sign a petition to get him some more

297
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: goal line touches. I have been on board of that.

298
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: Everyone I talked to you love Giobinard this year. And

299
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: I'm only talking experts. So if you're listening and you're

300
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: wondering why we like Geobinard, just listen to them. I mean,

301
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: these guys are the experts. They know what's going on.

302
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: Giobinard is gonna have a great season. I love them.

303
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: I absolutely love them. Um. I mean part of it

304
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: is you look at that offense, and they lost a

305
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: lot of targets with Marvin Jones leaving with the Amed

306
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: Sanu leaving with Tyler Eiffert hurt to start harder. Was

307
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: no doubt he was the better of the two running backs.

308
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill had double digit touchdowns, but Joe Bernard was

309
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: the one who really helped move that offense along on

310
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: top of it, I don't know that he is affected

311
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: by who the quarterback is, whether it's Andy Dalton, whether

312
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: it's Aj mccaron. I mean, the thing we saw about

313
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: mccaron last year is he could still move that offense

314
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: when Dalton was out of the lineup. So a guy

315
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: like Joe Bernard is a big part of what they're

316
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: going to do this year. He can run it, obviously,

317
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: He's big as a pass catcher, and I just think

318
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: he has another fantastic year. Now. I was mentioning earlier,

319
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: I really like the strategy of waiting on wide receivers.

320
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: Everyone is zagging towards wide receivers, and I'm gonna zig

321
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: this year. I'm gonna go away from what the consensus

322
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: is doing, and I'm waiting on wide receivers because I

323
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: believe so much in Sterling Shepherd, Sammy Coates, and Richard

324
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: Matthews that I'm willing to make those three of my

325
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: top four wide receivers and just blow up my team

326
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: with super high end running backs. Grab myself, Tom Brady,

327
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: get myself a Russell Wilson and Drew Brees that he

328
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: can rely on and grab myself, Jordan read when I

329
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: do Draft Wizard mock drafts, I love my team. When

330
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: I wait for wide receiver grab Doug Baldwin maybe as

331
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: my number one guy. I think my team looks great there.

332
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I can see that because there is such

333
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: a depth at wide receiver that you can hang on

334
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: and wait for them and you can still get some

335
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: quality ones there. So that's that's always a plus. I

336
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: would say, you know, if you're looking at kind of

337
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: building your roster and talking about maybe building what's going

338
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: to be on your bench, I think a lot of

339
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: what you do on the bench is affected by how

340
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: you start your draft. So if you decide to go

341
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver heavy early tens are you're gonna have a

342
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: lot of quality there and you won't need quite as

343
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: much wide receiver depth on your bench. You'll have to

344
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: probably use some running backs to try to insulate what

345
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: you have there. But conversely, if you decide you're gonna

346
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: go running back early and you start, say maybe with

347
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: somebody like you know, say David Johnson up top, and

348
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: you come back around and you get somebody in the

349
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: second round, like Lamar Miller, you're gonna have some strong

350
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: running backs and you might want to add a little

351
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: more wide receiver depth, Marcus. That's a great way to

352
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: put it. And you know something else you have to

353
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: consider is running backs just get hurt so often. I

354
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: know everybody knows that, but it's good to have that

355
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: reminder every now and then. If you're drafting these guys

356
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: David Johnson, Lamar Miller in round one and two, chances

357
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: are one of them is going to get hurt. That's

358
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: just the way things go. So I just love to

359
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: load up my bench with five, six, seven running backs.

360
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: I know it's crazy, but you know when you get

361
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: a jerk McKinnon coming in and getting a bunch of

362
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of carries, when Adrian Peterson goes down or

363
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: what have you, that's how you win your leagues. I mean,

364
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: you look at who was the most owned player on

365
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: ESPN leagues last year for championships, and that was Tim

366
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: high Tower. Tim high Tower was drafted by no One.

367
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: He was on No one's radar, and I just think

368
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: that's something you have to consider. Load yourself up with

369
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: those high end running backs in good offenses. One of

370
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: the chases against Todd Gurley is that he's going to

371
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: be in an offense that really isn't very good. They

372
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: don't have good quarterback play, and they don't run it

373
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: an up tumble pace. I mean, you know, you look

374
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: at the offenses like what we see in you know,

375
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: what we think we're gonna see in San Francisco with

376
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: Chip Celly, what we see in places like Pittsburgh. You know,

377
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: even at Denver in the past, where they run a

378
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: lot of plays. The Rams don't do that, And so

379
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: that was kind of a case against Todd. Now I

380
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: believe Todd Gurley is just a supreme Ted Gurley is

381
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: such an intriguing player. I've I've watched him play so much,

382
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: and there's just nobody else like him. I'm not saying

383
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: he's the most talented. I think ap And and David

384
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: Johnson are more talented, but he's just such a unique player.

385
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: I'm just so worried. You talk about that offense. That

386
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: offensive line is a mess. They've got a bunch of

387
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: young guys. They're playing against Seattle a bunch of the time,

388
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: Arizona a bunch of the time. I mean, I'm just

389
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: not sure that Gurley is worth a first round pick.

390
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: And I read the article by Matt Harmon and it

391
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: just confirmed my bias against drafting Todd Gurley with your

392
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: first round pick. I thought it was a phenomenal article

393
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: speaking of high upside players that are really risky. I've

394
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: built a list of guys and we're just gonna blitz

395
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: through this their risky plays, their boom er bust. And

396
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: I want to hear what your perspective is on these

397
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: guys and if you think they're gonna bust or maybe

398
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: somewhere in between. We'll start out of the quarterback position.

399
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: How do you feel about Jamis Winston this year? Folks

400
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: here and after you know, he had bounced with interceptions,

401
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: but that was to be expected. I mean we knew

402
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: that from Jamis. You know, coaching staff took a lot

403
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: of responsibility off his shoulders. I think this year they're

404
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: ready to give him some more and to kind of

405
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: open up a playbook a little bit more for him.

406
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: But more than that, the fact that he has built

407
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: a rapport with Mike Evans, and I think Mike Evans

408
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: in Tampa will be for Jamies what Calvin Benjamin was

409
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: in Tallahassee, A big body guy, huge red zone target.

410
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: I think Evans actually is a more talented player than

411
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin, so that's that's really a good thing. So

412
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: I like Jamis. I think he's a guy who is

413
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: aggressive on the football field. He likes to take risks,

414
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: but that means you know, that means turnovers. But is

415
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: and so. But I wouldn't be surprised if he's knocking

416
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: on the door. There were weeks last season where Dante

417
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: die was Winston's number one wide receiver in the depth chart,

418
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: and Winston still passed her four thousand yards as a rookie.

419
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: I mean, with Mike Evans as J and Vince and

420
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: Jackson into the equation, I think he's a clear cut

421
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: QB one, and I think he could be even better.

422
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he is a dynamic athlete, he absolutely is.

423
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: And I see there's the other part, though I don't

424
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 1: Vince and Jackson at this point we know who he is.

425
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: He's kind of an up and down guy. He's definitely

426
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: the tail end of his career. I am keeping an

427
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: eye though throughout the preseason on that Tampa Bay tied

428
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: end position because as J I know, they've given him

429
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: all the chances in the world, and at least earlier

430
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: this summer, he seemed to kind of be, you know,

431
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: kind of fumbling them away, and so that's opened the

432
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: door for Cameron Brake. So I'm keeping an eye on

433
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: what happens between between as J and Brighton, see who

434
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: wins that job. Let's move on to the next quarterback,

435
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: and it's Tyrod Taylor. I know a lot of people

436
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: who are really high on Tyrod Taylor, but I consider

437
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: him to have pretty substantial bust opportunities. You mean you

438
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: mean ty God Taylor. Yeah, no, we love he is

439
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: a favorite of the fantasy stronghold here at NFL dot Com.

440
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: I mean, we love Tyrode. We love what he can do.

441
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: And you know, I that is first off, quarterbacks who

442
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 1: can run are kind of a cheat code, I mean,

443
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: which is why you know, that's one thing that you know,

444
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota for potentially has working in his favor, even

445
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: though I don't like any of his wide receivers. M

446
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: but you know, time Rod can run. I mean, we've

447
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: seen guys like even Aaron Rodgers can get out and scramble,

448
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck, Dammy Watkins when he's healthy and right is

449
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: a huge playmaker. I love Key like Robert Woods. Maybe

450
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: that is a fantasy player, but certainly as a real

451
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: football player who can help move the chains, who can

452
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: make big catches and kind of keep the drives going

453
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: for this Buffalo offensive. Plus there's the wave of his

454
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: life coming into training camp, and he has slimmed down

455
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: and can make plays in the passing game as well

456
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: as as as I've seen this season. But I do

457
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: like Tyrod Is certainly and of a you know, second

458
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: option for you, a guy who can plug in and

459
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: buy weeks and that sort of thing in an injury situations.

460
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: The guy you know. I mentioned that he does have

461
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: some bus potential, but I am very high on Tyro Taylor.

462
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he is the wide receiver who had the

463
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: most fantasy points per target last season, and that's Sammy Watkins.

464
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: They hardly utilized him. They're going to use them a

465
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: lot more this year now that they know what they

466
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: have in Taylor. I mean, Taylor had more fantasy points

467
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: last year than Aaron Rodgers. Even if he regresses a

468
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 1: little bit, He's being drafted way too low. He's a

469
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: great backup quarterback. I can't believe where he's being drafted

470
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: right now. Well, yeah, I mean I think a lot

471
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: of it is. I think there are a lot of

472
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: skeptics out there, and I get that as somebody who

473
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: was a little bit of a fantasy skeptic myself, but

474
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,719
Speaker 1: having just watched the guy, I I mean, I just

475
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: think he passes the eye test for me, and I

476
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: think he's only going to get better as he continues

477
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: to grow as a starting class, this group gets more

478
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: comfortable together, They're just they're gonna get more productive. All right,

479
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: let's move over the running back position. Davante Freeman. How

480
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: do you feel, Marcus, I'm nervous. I'm scared as hell

481
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: about I mean, because well, what we saw obviously, you know,

482
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: he was the number one running back in fantasy football,

483
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: kind of coming a little bit out of nowhere because

484
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: he wasn't the starter at the beginning of the year.

485
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: That was Tevin Coleman and the coaching staff. I mean, look,

486
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: they made it very clear last year, at least at

487
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: this time last year, that Tevin Coleman was going to

488
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: be their guy. That's the guy they drafted. They want

489
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: to develop him. They can kind of now have a

490
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: good problem in that DeVante Freeman showed he could be productive,

491
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: but I just I worry that somehow this is going

492
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: to devolve into another committee situation. I mean, we saw

493
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: Freeman be really good at the start of the year,

494
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 1: but then he kind of faded down the back stretch

495
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: a little bit, and we saw Coleman kind of get

496
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: a little more work. So I just wonder if this

497
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: is not going to be a situation where the Falcons

498
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: sort of go with the hot hand, which I mean,

499
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: you certainly know this. That is the worst possible scenario

500
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: for fantasy owners. I mean and against if I'm taking

501
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: a chance on him, I would love to wait until

502
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: the third round if I possibly could. I don't know

503
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: that I'll be able to wait that long, but that

504
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: the whole thing just really makes me nervous. I hate

505
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: that phrase, using the hot hand. Every time I hear that,

506
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: it just makes me so nervous, even if it's not

507
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: about one of my guys, because it's just such a

508
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: horrible thing for fantasy football. And I am I am

509
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: with right with you. I'm scared to death of Devonde Freeman.

510
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: Not necessarily scared to death of Freeman. I'm scared to

511
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 1: death of Coleman. Coleman, I mean, they obviously thought he

512
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: was the more the more elite talent. So who's to

513
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: say that Freeman is not on the hot seat and

514
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: gonna lose his job as soon as he fumbles one

515
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: or two balls or doesn't have a great game and

516
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: they give the ball to Coleman and he breaks out

517
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: and just takes the job. It's scary. I'm not drafting Freeman.

518
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: Get down with that philosophy, I think because there is

519
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: such uncertainty, I would actually rather the go with bats

520
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: in a committee where I know flat out how this

521
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: is what's going to happen, so I can completely agree

522
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: with that. All right, here's the most controversial player in

523
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 1: fantasy football as far as I'm concerned, at least from

524
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: what I've heard, is Dion Lewis with the Patriots. Marcus,

525
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: where do you stand? Les? Am I really know? I mean, well,

526
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: so I created a phrase a couple of years ago

527
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: that you know, whatever host happens in the Patriots backfield.

528
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: I referred to it as Bellatrix, like you just never

529
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: really knew what was going to happen on a week

530
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: to week basis. But last year I declared, thank you

531
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 1: I actually kind of I sort of crypted from Adam Rank,

532
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: who created the phrase Shannahanigans for Mike Shanahan. Um. But

533
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: I declared last year that Dean Lewis is the man

534
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: who slayed Bellatrix because he became a consistent fixture back there.

535
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: He was the guy that was almost a three down

536
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: back for them, And so I feel like, as long

537
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: as he's healthy, and I think there's gonna take it

538
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: slow with him, I'm not really worried about anything that's

539
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: happened to him so far in camp. I think they're

540
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: just gonna take it slow because they know they need

541
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: him in that office, especially with though Tom Brady for

542
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: the first four games. Um, I am not at all

543
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: worried about he quite not quite a mid round draft price.

544
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: But still you're you're talking about you know you could win.

545
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: I disagree with you on this one, and I'm just

546
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: so scared of it. Man, I'm so scared of Belichick.

547
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: I can't handle it. I can't handle the pressure. If

548
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: I had Dan Lewis on my team, I bench in

549
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: every single week because I would think that this is

550
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the week that he's not gonna play.

551
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean we saw what happened when jonas Great. Everyone

552
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: knows the stories. I'm terrified. Who knows if they're just

553
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: gonna pick up some guy off the waivers and the

554
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: next week he rushes for two hundred yards and three touchdowns.

555
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what's going to happen, and

556
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to goose egg in my lineup. Maybe

557
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: I'm just not as talented, did you. I can't afford it,

558
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: you say, But I'm not doing it, man, Like I

559
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: understand your fear, I feel your pain. I would just say,

560
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,479
Speaker 1: you know, Woosa serenity now and everything will be okay,

561
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: all right. How about Matt Jones, I do not want

562
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: I was not a fan of Matt Jones earlier the summer.

563
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: You know, people kept trying to tell me, Oh, he's

564
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: gonna be the featured back there, It's gonna be fine,

565
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: and I never believed. I didn't believe it even back

566
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, in mini camps and Ota everything else was

567
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: coming at the time. I thought maybe it'd be Chris

568
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: Thompson who would take some of that extra work. Now

569
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we're hearing talk the chiefs Marshall

570
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: could be the guy you know who ends up being

571
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: in a committee and the way you know, if thing,

572
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: who's going to not get as many snaps as you

573
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: originally thought he was. Hopefully he has curved his fumbling

574
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: problems that plagued him last year. But if not, then

575
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, does he start to

576
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: lose even more work to Keith Marshall or Chris Thompson

577
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: or anybody else. I'm giving Matt Jones two weeks. He's

578
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: losing his job in two weeks. You know that he's

579
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: going to fumble three or four times in those couple games.

580
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: At least I know it. You may not know it yet,

581
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: but I know it. And then I'm a big believer

582
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: in Chris Thompson. I mean, you can't. You can't argue

583
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: with six point two yards per carry. I understand he

584
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 1: wasn't utilized a ton, and I don't know if he's

585
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: going to be three down back, but I just think,

586
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: I just think Matt Jones is the third most talented

587
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: running back on this team, and it's only a matter

588
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: of time before the coaching staff realizes it, and and

589
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: then it's just over for him. He's going to be

590
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: dropped in every league and everyone's gonna be wishing to

591
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: listen to this podcast and picked up Chris Thompson. I

592
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: was actually a little bit surprised is that the coaching

593
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: staff came out and sort of proclaimed Matt Jones as

594
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: their starter. At least they're there, you know, Bell cow

595
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: so early. I just felt like that maybe that was

596
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: to give him confidence. I don't know, but again, I

597
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: never really bought into this whole thing. They must have

598
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: just watched that Rams video on repeat where he dominated

599
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 1: that a mediocre tackling defense. I'm gonna understand, they have

600
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: a great pass rush and they had a great secondary,

601
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: then they lost some of that. I'm not buying it.

602
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: He had one great performance besides that, he's just mister butterfingers.

603
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 1: I say it on every episode. I'm avoiding Matt Jones,

604
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Yeah, I am right with you.

605
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,479
Speaker 1: Another guy in that range is a Mir Abdullah with

606
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. Now there's been talks that he's not

607
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: going to be a three down back, or he might

608
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: not even end up the feature back. He might just

609
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: be a third down guy catching passes. He had so

610
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: much high last year and he's still the same player.

611
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: But how's he gonna end up in this offense? I

612
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: want to believe I do. I totally like, you know,

613
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: sort of like franchise when Kristen. I want to believe

614
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: in a Mirabdulah. And I don't know. People keep trying

615
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: to talk me off that ledge a little bit, and

616
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I guess my big my big

617
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: fear with a Miradula is that they have a guy

618
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: who's very similar in THEO written. I mean, they're they

619
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: do so many of the same things. There's so much

620
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: alike that you wonder whether or not they're going to

621
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: kind of cannibalize each other's production in that offense. So

622
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: that is the one thing that that makes me worried

623
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: about Amerdula. If I can get him at the right price,

624
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: if he's still hanging around the board, you know, saying

625
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: a round nine or something like that, which you know,

626
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: maybe a stretch, I will certainly take the chance on him.

627
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: But I think I think I've gotten I think I've

628
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: let a lot enough people in my ear to kind

629
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: of back me off of a was saying like a

630
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: month ago, I'm right there with you. I mean, we

631
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: know who he is, we know what he can be

632
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: if they give him the ball. I don't know if

633
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: his body will hold up, but he is ultra talented.

634
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: There's no denying that. The only reason that I'm skeptical

635
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: drafting him is because I found out how great of

636
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: an athlete Zack Zenter is, and when they're talking about

637
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: giving him carries. I know there was some hype about

638
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: this last year too, but I mean, he's a very

639
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: good athlete. He's a better athlete than Matt Jones. He's

640
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: a ter athlete than Team Meldon. I'm a believer in

641
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: Zack Zenter, and I think he's just gonna flat out

642
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: steal his job. I think that Amira Dula is going

643
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: to lose his job to Zach Zenter. And a year

644
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: from now we'll be talking about you're taking Zack Zenter

645
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: here the first person. You're not the first person to

646
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: talk to me about Zach Zenter. But I'm like, if

647
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: we're really going there, then that means I just need

648
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: to I need to tap out on the Lions running

649
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: backs altogether. Yeah, I am not emotion I'm not emotionally

650
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,959
Speaker 1: prepared to really talk about Zach Center. All right. Now,

651
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: we're moving way down the list to the six or

652
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: seventh round Dante Moncrief. Marcus, where are you? Boom er

653
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: bust on Montcrief, huge boom on Dante Moncrief. I think

654
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's being undervalued right now.

655
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, I mean, I like obviously,

656
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: I like t Y Hilton, he's the number one guy there.

657
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: But I just think this offense is prepared for some

658
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: big things upright and keeping. But this offense has the

659
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: potential to do some really big things. And last year,

660
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: James Coe, who's one of our hosts on NFL Fantasy Live,

661
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: had he doesn't think called the March to eleven hundred

662
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: where he picks kind of a sort of the under

663
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: under the radar wide receiver and predicts that they'll get

664
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: eleven hundred or more yards. Last year was Dante Moncrief,

665
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: and everything looked great early. Obviously, luck gets hurt, the

666
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: whole thing falls apart there in Indianapolis. But I think

667
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: is as long as luck is healthy, I think both

668
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton Dante Moncrief are excellent options. And consider

669
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: where Moncrief is coming up befoord. Like I said, I

670
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: think he is being spearly undervalued right now, it just

671
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: blows my mind that he is so much lower rank

672
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: than t Y Hilton. I understand luck loves thrown to

673
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton, but in terms of talent, Dante Moncrief

674
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: is a superior talent. He's still just twenty two years old.

675
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got that magical third year coming up.

676
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: I think this is the perfect situation of the post hypes,

677
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: the post hype sleeper, and I think Moncrief is going

678
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: to break out. I just don't understand why he's going

679
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: so late. I am going to reach for him two

680
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: rounds to make sure that he is not drafted by

681
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: anybody else. I feel safe take him in the fifties.

682
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna wait until the seventies and let someone

683
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: else grab him out of my nose. He's my guy. Hey, look,

684
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: I totally on board of that. I believe that. And

685
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: you know, that's one of the things I always tell

686
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: people who ask me that, you know, is it too

687
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: soon to get this guy or that guy? I'm like, look,

688
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: only I mean without doing something just crazy. I mean,

689
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: you're not gonna reach for Montcrief in round one or two.

690
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's okay to go out and get your

691
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: guy a little bit earlier. Worry about what you know

692
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,479
Speaker 1: this ADP says or this ranking said, you can make

693
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: sure he's on your roster. Now. Another guy that I'm

694
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: really high on it is Kevin White of the Chicago Bears.

695
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: I think he's the best rookie of this season, even

696
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: though he's not technically a rookie. How do you feel

697
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: about a Marcus Man from your lips to my dynasty

698
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: team's Ears man? Because I after him last year in

699
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: a dynasty league. Obviously I haven't zeed him yet, so

700
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: I'm I am hoping against hope that he's gonna be fine.

701
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: And it's it's injuries, I mean, And I guess that

702
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: applies to both the receivers there in Chicago, both he

703
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: and U and alshon Jeffrey. Can they stay health us?

704
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: The last shows that he can be a playmaker in

705
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: that offense, and we know Jake Cutler does not care.

706
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: He will sling the rock and he's as long as

707
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,959
Speaker 1: you can make plays, he will slung it in your directions. So, um,

708
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: you know, with changes there in that offense, Martella's Bennett

709
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: has gone, So that's some targets that open up and

710
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: the Bears have been in search of somebody to compliment

711
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in that passing game. Obviously, Matt Forte was kind

712
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: of a big help there, but he's no longer in Chicago,

713
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: so I think there is potential, there is opportunity for

714
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: Kevin White. And so again, maybe because I want him

715
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: to blow up on my dynasty team so badly that

716
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: I'm I'm willing to buy him, but I do think,

717
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: I do think that he can be a guy who

718
00:32:55,760 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: opened some eyes this year. Oh man. I watched Kevin

719
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: White in college with West Virginia and they had the

720
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: number one schedule strength It was the hardest schedule in

721
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: all of college football, and he was shredding these NFL

722
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: talented defenses. I told my wife I heard the Rams

723
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: were gonna leave, and I said, when the Rams leave,

724
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a fan of whatever teamed Kevin White

725
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: goes to because I love watching him play so much.

726
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: And then he went to the Bears, So I had

727
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: to back out of that statement because I hadn't watch

728
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: the Chicago sports team since I'm from Saint Louis. But

729
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: Kevin White is so good. And then that that combine

730
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: came out and he was a great athlete too. I

731
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: can't wait to see what Kevin White does now. It

732
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: may take a year or two, it may not be

733
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: this year, but he's gonna end up being a top twenty,

734
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: top thirty draft pick one of these years. All right.

735
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: In the final wide receiver that we have, and then

736
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: we'll go on to one tight end is Dorial Greenbeckham.

737
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: Everyone knows he's boom or bust. He's got all the

738
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: town in the world best. He was the best recruit

739
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: out of high school. Then he had all these off

740
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: the season problems. Apparently he's not trying. Marcus, are you

741
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: taking a chance on Dorial Greenbeckham? Noop, don't um. I look,

742
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: and I know that some of my colleagues, Alex Gell

743
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: Harp for a while, and and even Matt Harman, who's

744
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: kind of the wide receiver whisperer, we're trying, you know,

745
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: earlier this summer, back in the spring to sell me

746
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: on Doyle Green Beckham, and I just wasn't buying it.

747
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: And nothing I've seen throughout training camp has made me

748
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: change my mind. I mean, we were talking a couple

749
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago about you know, Taja Sharp they're

750
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: they're they're pumping up Taj Sharp people. Look, hey, he's

751
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: a nice player, he's a good round runner um. But

752
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: he's not. He's not the specimen that DGB is. But

753
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: they're talking him up. I think in a way to

754
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: try to get Green Beckham to kind of get things

755
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: turned around to kind of a lot of fire under him.

756
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: But it hasn't worked. I mean, they talked about him

757
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: at Ota is still not being in great shape and

758
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: still not being ready to go. And so I'm done,

759
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: Like you know, to quote Taylor Swift, I'd like to

760
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: be excluded from this narrative. I don't want any car

761
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: I had no idea we were going to be quote

762
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: and Taylor Swift on this episode. This is gonna be

763
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: the best episode ever. And this is another one where

764
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: I disagree with you. I am on the Dorial Green

765
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: Beckham train. I'm you know, I heard a stat in

766
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: contested balls, he was he had the highest rate in

767
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: the NFL last year. He won ten out of eleven

768
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: of those contested balls. He's a freak of nature. He

769
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 1: is the Allen Iverson of the NFL. Who cares if

770
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: he tries in practice? Who cares if he works out

771
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: in the weight room. He is gonna be ready. He

772
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: has the best body in the NFL for any wide receiver.

773
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: He goes up and gets the ball. I think, you

774
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: know what, JP, why don't we cut that all out?

775
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: Because I just don't believe it. Man, you know what,

776
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,439
Speaker 1: don't cut this out. Don't cut this out. I want

777
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: to believe in the Dorial Green Beckham hype. I do.

778
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: He's from the Saint Louis area. I've been watching this

779
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: guy forever. But man, he's not gonna get any playing

780
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: time and Mariotte is not going to throw him the ball.

781
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: He's got Richard Matthews and Delaney Walker. It's not gonna

782
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: work out. In fact, he's probably just gonna get cut

783
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: in the first five weeks. That just the way these

784
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 1: things go. I mean, he has some off the field problems.

785
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: I love as you've talked to yourself in an entire sir,

786
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I can't do it this whole

787
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: off season. I have been on the Doyal Greenbeckham train,

788
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: But as I was talking about I was just like,

789
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: I sound like a moron. Man, I can I don't

790
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: believe a second of this. It's not true. There's no

791
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: way it's gonna happen. Marcus, I just yeah, you know,

792
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: here's the thing. It is absolutely true, and so maybe

793
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: maybe he puts it together. I'm not gonna be the

794
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: guy to experience that because I'm just gonna let him

795
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: be somebody else's aiday. So I mean literally, if he

796
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: goes out, if somehow Dorial Green Beckham goes out and

797
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: has you know, twelve hundred yards and eight touchdowns, good

798
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 1: for him. I'm not taking that chance, you know. And

799
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: isn't it a pre wreck? Who is it to be

800
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: good in college before he can be good in the NFL.

801
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: He wasn't even good in college. He was the number

802
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: two receiver, and the guy that was the number one

803
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: got drafted in the sixth round and was already cut

804
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: from his NFL team. He wasn't even good in college.

805
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: He's a big project. Tennessee's gonna have to work with

806
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 1: him a ton. And really that's the thing that convinced

807
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: me to change my mind. If he's ever good, it's

808
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: gonna be in three or four years, and he's got

809
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: to keep his act together. And look, Dorio Green Beckham,

810
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 1: if you buy some chance, are listening, keep it together,

811
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: But I don't. I don't believe that you can do it.

812
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: Man prove us wrongside receivers over the last few years,

813
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 1: and I've mentioned earlier guys like Kendall Wright and Justin

814
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: Hunter and what have you, and like, none of these

815
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: guys have reached the potential that we thought they could be.

816
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: Kimdall Right had that one really good year but hasn't

817
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: come close to it since then. So I just I don't.

818
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: I just don't like the odds of of DGB having

819
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: that big step forward, right. And the final guy we're

820
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: gonna talk about in this boom er Bus segment, which

821
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: ended up being a lot of fun, mostly because I

822
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: was a moron, is ben not Benjamin Watson. I'm sorry,

823
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: Kobe Fleiner. We somewhat Drew Brees did with Benjamin Watson

824
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 1: when he was thirty four years old. What's he gonna

825
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: do with Fleaner? My thing is with Kobe Fleiner, there

826
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: is going to be there. There's no doubt about it.

827
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: I mean, these Saints they love to use the tight end. Yeah,

828
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: I mean it's easy to say when you've got a

829
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: guy like Jenny Graham there that, yeah, we're gonna use

830
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: the tide, and I mean that's certainly easy. But you

831
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: mentioned Benjamin Watson and then what he did last year.

832
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy had a career season. So Drew

833
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 1: Brees is not afraid to get his tight end involved

834
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: in the offense, and so in that respect, the opportunity

835
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: is great for Kobe Fleaner. Here's the thing about Kobe Fleiner, um,

836
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: I don't think he's that good at football. That's kind

837
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: of a problem for me. I thought that all those

838
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: years in Indianapolis, I thought Dwayne Allen was easily the

839
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: better tight end. The problem is that Dwayne Allen never

840
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: could stay on the field, and so that's what opened

841
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: the door for Kobe Fleaner. And there was there's always

842
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: the cute narrative about Kobe Fleaner and Andrew like, oh,

843
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: they were roommates at Stanford. This is so great. Yeah,

844
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: But I mean, like he's just he's just not as good.

845
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: And so, you know, as Alex y'r will say, you know,

846
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be surprising if Kobe Fleaner falls asked backwards

847
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: into like a hundred targets this year. The question is

848
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: how many of those will be catch I mean, I

849
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: see him kind of topping out in maybe sixty sixty

850
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: five catches decent numbers, and so I think I think

851
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,720
Speaker 1: he'll creep into the back end of tight end one.

852
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: But I would pass on Kobe Fleaner. I'd rather take

853
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: the chance on a guy like Delaney Walker. I'd rather

854
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 1: take a shot at Julius Thomas. If I'm going really

855
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: deep sleeper and I'm feeling kind of saucy, maybe I

856
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: even look at somebody like Clive Walford as my second

857
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 1: option there. But I don't know, I just I just yeah,

858
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 1: I love the opportunity. I just don't love the player.

859
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm getting Jordan read on pretty much every one of

860
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: my teams. I mean, he was ninety five percent of

861
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: the player Rob Gronkowski was when Jordan Reid was on

862
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: the team. With that being said, I do like Kobe Fleiner,

863
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: and it has nothing to do with him. It has

864
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: everything to do with Drew Brees in that Saints system.

865
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: You may have noticed a trend. All these players in

866
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 1: the Boomer Bust segment. Pretty much all of them are

867
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 1: guys that I believe in, and it's because I want

868
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: to talk about them, right. I want everyone who's listening

869
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: to win their Fantasy Championship. And since I believe that

870
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: I have all this knowledge, I want you guys to

871
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: listen to me. So I'm gonna share all my knowledge.

872
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: And I like Kobe Fleiner the reason why in twenty

873
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: fourteen he only started twelve games, he was still the

874
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: number six Fantasy scoring tight end. Now he goes to

875
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, So what's going to happen? I mean, he's

876
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: still improving. He's young enough that I think he's gonna

877
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 1: get better. So, um, you're right. I watched the tape

878
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: and I'm not super impressed by Kobe Fleiner. But it

879
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter what I think. It matters what Drew

880
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: Brees thinks. And they went out and got him. He's

881
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: their guy. They got him, and you know, he's been

882
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: getting rave reviews from from Drew Brees in practice. I

883
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: know the Uh one of the quotes I think I

884
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: heard was that he's always open. Now for me, you know,

885
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: I think that sometimes if a guy's always open, there's

886
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: probably a reason for that. Ye. Look, I think baby

887
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: Fleiner puts up great numbers and he has a phenomenal season.

888
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: But just because I'm not so hyped about him, you know.

889
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: I was talking to Jake Seeley earlier this week from

890
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: Rodoexperts dot com. I had him on for the first

891
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 1: podcast of the week, and he told me something that's

892
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: been burned in my mind ever since. If it's in

893
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: the preseason and the coach says or a quarterback says,

894
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: we really like this guy, he's really standing out, you

895
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: should be nervous, and that's stuck in my head. And

896
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: when I heard you say that, I thought, oh, no,

897
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: Kobe Fleiner, because they're telling defenses. They're telling you, they're

898
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: telling defenses, this guy's really good. You better guard him

899
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: because they don't want to throw him the ball. I

900
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: don't know if there's any truth in that, but that

901
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:14,720
Speaker 1: makes me scared. Man. I don't discount any preseason like theories,

902
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: like a lot of time on this obviously that I

903
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: think we can talk ourselves as analysts and experts into

904
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: just about anything. You know, every every you know, the

905
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: slightest little twinge of a hamstring or the intonation of

906
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: a coach's voice will send us into you know, spasms

907
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: of ecstasy or agony over our certain players. So everybody

908
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 1: kind of has their way of looking at it. Hey

909
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: like I said, you know, when a guy is always open,

910
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: sometimes there's a reason for that. I mean, when when

911
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: you say that Odell Beckham is always open, it's because

912
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 1: he's really really good. When a guy like Toby Fleeterer

913
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 1: is always open, you just wonder if maybe the defense

914
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: doesn't really care. Yeah, yeah, you're exactly right. It's so

915
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: fun to confirm our own biases. I mean, there's probably

916
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: someone listening to the show who heard all the trash

917
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: we said about Matt Jones. They were they got something

918
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: good out of it, you know what I mean. Like,

919
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: it's just it's just our nature. It's what we do

920
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: as fantasy football fans, and it's what makes it so fun. Um.

921
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: But Marcus and I are right. So if you're listening,

922
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: if you're listening and you thought Matt, if you thought

923
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: you heard something good about Matt Jone, didn't. Matt Jones

924
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: is not going to be a good fantasy as it,

925
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: don't draft him. Don't draft him, all right, by Marcus,

926
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: that's all the questions we have for you. I really

927
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,720
Speaker 1: appreciate you coming on the show and being so patient

928
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: with the technical difficulties. I had a blast talking to you,

929
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: and I hope when we can do it again sometime

930
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 1: this season. Absolutely. Yeah. No. So like you know, when

931
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: you know we start talking about, you know, some of

932
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: these guys that we talked about, you know during this podcast,

933
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: when they start to blow up, um, I will totally

934
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: come back on the show and you and I can

935
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: sit here and we can gloat about how smart we are,

936
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: you know, like when Amadula is running through defenses and

937
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: and just blowing up. Kevin White is, you know, at

938
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: a top fifteen wide receiver. I'll come back on the show.

939
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,439
Speaker 1: You and I can gloat and we can talk about

940
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: how we are so much better than everybody else. That's

941
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: exactly right, man, that sounds great. And when Matt Jones

942
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: breaks out and becomes the number one running back, we

943
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 1: can just ignore it. We can forget that we even

944
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: said anything about it. In fact, we could even say

945
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: that we were Matt Jones fans all along and that

946
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: we thought Chris Thompson and Keith Marcel were garbage, right right.

947
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: It's not it's like you know, see Chris Stopson, who

948
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 1: was a van of Christopson. Yeah, not me. Revisionist history.

949
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: You know, It's it's not like nothing, It's not like

950
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: you know, things live forever on the Internet or anything.

951
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: Nobody will ever hear this ever again. That's right, all right, Marcus,

952
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: thanks a lot again and I hope you have a

953
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,360
