Speaker 1: from fanball dot Com. I coast say, are Scott Fish

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: and Matt Harrison. Hey, guys, what's going on? Good day.

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: We are officially in the heart of fantasy draft season

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: this week, next week, and even a little bit the

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: week after that, but really the next two weeks, it's

11
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 1: the heart of fantasy draft season. Yeah. As a longtime

12
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: member of the League Safe family, this is the part

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: of the year that makes my knees quiver. It's also

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: deposit time, yes, and we're going to get you ready

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: for your draft or auction. We're gonna help guide you

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: through the entire first round, particularly after the big three

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: running backs go beginning and pick four. That's the new stinkhole.

18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: Every years there's the stinkhole where you're not sure what

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: to do. The stinkhole is always moving around. You can

20
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: never catch the stinkhole. You really can't. You can catch

21
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: the stink but you can't catch the stinkhole, We'll tell

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: you what to do with the stinkhole, and the rest

23
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: of the first round will identify the true bell cow

24
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: running backs in the league. Aren't that many left, but

25
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: there are guys that you can count on to touch

26
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: the rock copiously. We'll tell you who they are. We'll

27
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: give you your first reach. A round of the season

28
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: will provide the guys who are worth reaching. Yeah, let

29
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: me finish that early in your draft. We'll tell you

30
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: who they are. We'll talk through the highlights of the

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: preseason action, will answer tough questions and reveal our latest

32
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: round of sleepers. We may even talk a little do

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: the opposite at the end what that even means when

34
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: you do the opposite in your draft or auction guys.

35
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: I want to start with a disclaimer here about auctions.

36
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: We love auctions, love them third format for sure overdrafting.

37
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: That said, we almost always talking about draft position, and

38
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: and and everything is sort of about draft because it's

39
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: really hard to know in the world of the auction

40
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: when a player is going to come up what he

41
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: might go for. Is your league using base one, base

42
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: two D or some other base of of salary for

43
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: your auction um. When a player comes up, if he's

44
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: the first player thrown out, when everybody's got all their money,

45
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: he's going to cost more than he will an hour later.

46
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: There's just so many shifting stands on auctions that we

47
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: don't usually orient our discussions around auctions, but hopefully in

48
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: your mind you can sort of, you know, do the

49
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: math and flip all our draft talks into auctions. That

50
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: makes sense. Yeah, And the way we talk about drafts

51
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: here on this show, it's really a tier based system

52
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: that we've been doing for years. We talked about the

53
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: different tiers and that's kind of how you treat the

54
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 1: auction as well. You look at, oh, this is the

55
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: last guy in my running back tier that's about to

56
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: go off. I might need to spend a few more

57
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: bucks here or less here, because it's see what you're

58
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: doing there so um and to that point, you want

59
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: to see a player set is his auction, his auction

60
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: amount go way way up, make him the last the

61
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: last running back in the tier. Yeah, the last running

62
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: back in the tier is so expensive. Absolutely every time

63
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: get the first running back in a tier, and you

64
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: really are more often than not. I want to talk

65
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: to some of the notable events from the preseason games,

66
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: and I want to start with Philadelphia taking on Jacksonville. Matt,

67
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: what were some of the highlights that you've got from

68
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: that game? God, that's pretty much it. That's the it's

69
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: they'll become. These preseason games are becoming less meaningful all

70
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: the time. Miles Sanders had a couple of nice looking

71
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: carries um average six point two yards per carry. That

72
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: was legitimately the fantasy highlight of this entire game. Cody

73
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: Kessler started at quarterback for the Eagles, followed by a

74
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: lot of Clayton Thorson, so there wasn't anything to glean

75
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: from the passing game. The Jaguars actually scored some points.

76
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: Good for them, right, But from a fantasy perspective, unless

77
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: you're thinking about drafting Gardner min Shoe or Thomas Rawls,

78
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: who looked really bad by the way, there's nothing to

79
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: talk about here. Looked like Thomas. It's just a gross game.

80
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: Just let's move on. The Jets took on the Falcon. Scott,

81
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: Hopefully you've gleaned something more than than what Matt was

82
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: able to get out of Philadelphia and Jacksonville. Yeah, Donald

83
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: looked great. A lot of tight window throws. He looked

84
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: really sharp, all right. One thing I really noticed is

85
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: that Gays ran a lot with the first team, a

86
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: lot of up temple, a lot of no huddle in

87
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: Miami last year the average plays per game, which was

88
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: league worst. I think this is going to be more

89
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: a more up temple, up temple offense, which holds me happy. Montgomery, Uh,

90
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: time time Intgomery looked a lot better than I expected. Yeah,

91
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: there's there's a growing buzz on time Agomery. Did we

92
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: get fooled on him once before a couple of years

93
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: ago with him? I did not get fooled on him. Good,

94
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: but and you won't get fooled again. No, I'm starting

95
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: to warm on him a little bit. He's he got

96
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: every single first team snap. Um, the Beat reporters say

97
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: he's going to be in there with Bell at times. Uh.

98
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: He split out wide on ten of those first team

99
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: snaps last night, which you know he might be used

100
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: in the passing game un like it was a receiver. Yeah,

101
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: they should use Montgomery in the past. Levian Bell does

102
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: a lot of passing game work too. Uh. Austin Hooper

103
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: looked good. They threw to the tight end Atlanta threw

104
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: to the tight end ten plus times in that game.

105
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: They threw to them a lot. Uh Anido. Smith re

106
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: established himself as the backup. Brian Hill did not look good.

107
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: Job to touchdown Quadre Allison looked okay, But those two

108
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: are fighting. It's edo Hill is the backup there. Smith

109
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: Smith can can finish. Yes, one more thing. The jet's

110
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: got a ton of pressure. I'm worried about that Atlanta

111
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: offensive line if it's really that a lot of new faces, right,

112
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: and that you know that there's a lot of moving parts.

113
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: And any time you and you put a lot of

114
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,119
Speaker 1: new faces on our offensive line, it takes time. Yeah,

115
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: and that's I think that's part of what's happening there.

116
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: I do think it will be a better offense in time.

117
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: I think it'll be better than last year's version. Last

118
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: year's version pretty good. It was good. So Austin Hooper

119
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: is he a reliable starting tight end for fantasy owners?

120
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: He was reliable last year. People don't realize if you

121
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: look at his stat lines, he was actually pretty reliable.

122
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: I didn't like him the year before and that bears out,

123
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: But I do think he is. Yeah. Green Bay took

124
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: on Baltimore. The Green Bay side, Aaron Rodgers didn't play. Uh,

125
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones didn't play. Deshaun Kaiser started, and good god

126
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: is he brutal. He looked so bad. That's his accuracy

127
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. Um with with that Davante Adams on the field,

128
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: they might have thrown to one time. That was it.

129
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: The lack of backups in Green Bay for the quarterback

130
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: position since Aaron Rodgers has been there, it's been awful,

131
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: like they can't find a backup to save their life.

132
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: They don't prioritize it. And if Rogers goes down, which

133
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: he's been dinged up a couple of times in the

134
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: last few years. Yeah, he missed half a season a

135
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: year and a half ago. It's burned down the Packers

136
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: season right there. That's half the teams in the league.

137
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: But still, yes, I agree, it's it's criminal they haven't

138
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: done that. I'll note that Jamal Williams did not run

139
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: immediately with the first team offense. It was Tray Carson,

140
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I'm totally down in Jamal Williams anyway.

141
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: I just think Aaron Aaron Jones is so far the

142
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: best running back there they can talk about time shares

143
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: all that Dexter Williams has been Jamal Williams. That could

144
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: be too. On the Baltimore side, three different tight ends

145
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: got first team work and this should be worrying. That

146
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: is worrying. Boyle Hurst and Andrews all got run in

147
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: the first series with the first team, so they're gonna

148
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: throw to those tight ends a lot. But the fact

149
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: that they're sharing almost evenly is a bit of a concern. Now,

150
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: for more on this, we go to the Mark Andrews desk.

151
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: Scott Fish, what's your level of concern right now? They

152
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: split snaps quite a decent amount last year. But Mark

153
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: Andrews last year with Lamar Jackson and had twenty six

154
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: percent of his yards on just like twelve percent of

155
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: his past attempts, which means he was uber efficient. To

156
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, there is a connection there. I'm still on

157
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews. But you know they're gonna bring tight ends

158
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: on their wide receivers aren't great. They're gonna need more options.

159
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson tried a couple of deep passes that did

160
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: not connect, and we're not terribly accurate, but his short

161
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: stuff was working, and that was a lot of last

162
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: year too. Yeah, short stuff did look good. I watched

163
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of that game as well, and he

164
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: was really dinking and dunking all the way down the

165
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: field and it worked. It does work, um, And that's

166
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: that's you know, for better or worse, his his his

167
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: his sweet spot is about eight to twelve yards downfield

168
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 1: and that's very accurate, man, at least at least he

169
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: connects on those. And the run. Then there was the

170
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: touchdown run. Jackson had a highlight touchdown run called back

171
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: on penalty in which he juked Gyr Alexander so far

172
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: out of his jock. The M ANDT Bank field crew

173
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: right now is is jack hammering five yards into the

174
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: concrete trying to get his his jock out. It was

175
00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: an unbelievable run and five yards it was five yards meat,

176
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: that's where they found like a full story down. It's

177
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: like they had to get paleontologists out to uh to

178
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: cry out the shocking the jock of jare Alexander. Look Jackson.

179
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: Jackson's going off the board of QB fifteen and it's absurd.

180
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: He's going to be way way better than that. And

181
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: I think he's the most misdrafted quarterback in fantasy leagues.

182
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: Justice Hill got a lot of work, but not with

183
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: the starters. Looked okay, but he was running in the

184
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: second half, and I'm not putting a lot on that.

185
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: This is a mark ingram led offense. And he started

186
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: the game and looked fine. Cincinnati took on Washington. Matt Yeah,

187
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: this one has a little more interest than Philly. Jacksonville

188
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: did Joe mix and had one carry. Uh. It was

189
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: called back for holding though, so that didn't really work out.

190
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: Then they put him on the bench and Andy Dalton.

191
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: He did start the game for the Bengals. He drove

192
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: the team down the field on a host of penalties

193
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: from the Washington team and then threw a pretty bad

194
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: pick six from about the ten yard line. And the

195
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: of the Bengal starters barely played. So there's not a

196
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: lot that we can really see from the Bengals right now.

197
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: It looks like it's going to be a disaster of

198
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: an offense. Though I'm really really nervous about any Bengals.

199
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: I've punished Joe Mixon in my rankings, although I do

200
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: have a Bengal as my sleeper. Later in the show,

201
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: I might add although that Joe Mixon play, you saw

202
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: it bounced outside stiff on that guy trucked it down

203
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: the side. Yeah. Adrian Peterson still looks like he's got

204
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: it though. On the Washington side, he had a really

205
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: nice twenty six yard run where he looked quite spry.

206
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: Case Keenum is still the starter for Washington as of

207
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: right now. He played the first three series. He led

208
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: the team to two punts in a long, long missed

209
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: field goal. Then Dwayne Haskins came in. On his first drive,

210
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: he threw this really nice looking deep ball the second

211
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: team wide receiver Robert Davis fifty five yards for a touchdown.

212
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: The quarterback controversy is alive and well in Washington, and

213
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: uh if if last game had anything to do with it,

214
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: it might be Dayne Haskins who's starting off the season

215
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: right away. Uh. Notably, Washington has allowed a special team's

216
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: return touchdown in both of their preseason games so far.

217
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: If you are going to stream defense special teams this year,

218
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: you might want to file that away for streaming defense

219
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: special teams go against Washington. Their special teams is an

220
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: absolute mess right now. Um, Dwayne Haskins look brutal last week.

221
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: And it's nice to see him bounce back better here.

222
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: UM let's go back to Adrian Peterson for just a minute.

223
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: You're only going off the board roughly round thirteen. He's

224
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: your probably starting running back in week one. Darius guys

225
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: still not doing anything. Yeah, and where's Darius guys going

226
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: off the board and he's like Darius guys around seven

227
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: and he's there. We don't even have a time teas

228
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: in round seven. It should be flopped flip flopped. It

229
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: should be Adrian Peterson in round seven and guys in

230
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: round third seven. But yeah, you know they should be

231
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: a lot closer together. That delta is way too far apart.

232
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 1: Totally agree with that. UM let's look at one other

233
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: preseason matchup, Oakland taking on Arizona. All kinds of panic

234
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: about the Arizona offense after a miserable showing that was

235
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: that was ugly. Their line looked bad. Kyler Murray was

236
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: on the run a lot. The first team Cardinals offense

237
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: was in for a cording a quarter and a half

238
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: until total fifty two yards and at point deficit to Oakland.

239
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: H Jacobs had four touches average five yards percared a

240
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: little over five yards percarried. That at least was good

241
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: on that side. But Brentley Brett Hunley came in with

242
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: four minutes left in the second hundred thirty one yards

243
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: and ten points and two drives out of Hunley. So

244
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: maybe there's some optimism there if like the first team

245
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: can do battled during the season. But that's it was

246
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: really rough. That Arizona defense is bad. It made it

247
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: made uh. It made Mike Glennon and Nathan Peterman looked

248
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: like legit NFL players there. I think Peterman was eight

249
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: for eight and Glennon was eleven for fourteen in that game.

250
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: And the Cardinals lost Robert Alfred for the better part

251
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: of two months, and that and Patrick Peterson suspended for

252
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: the first six games of the year. That Cardinals defense

253
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: is going to get trucked early in the So we

254
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: always say what's bad for the offense is bad for

255
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: the offense. If an offensive player gets hurt, it's bad

256
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: for all the fantasy players on that offense. But when

257
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: it's the defense going down and it's the Cardinals and

258
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna play this up tempo offense, is every game

259
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: just gonna be an absolute shootout. Who can who can

260
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: get to forty one maybe. I mean, we don't know

261
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: if the last two drives with the first team went

262
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: for negative yardage. I think the real question is can

263
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: is David Johnson going to be facing a bad game

264
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: script in the second half of all these games? It

265
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: could be. I'm it's an interesting thing for me With

266
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: David Johnson. I thought he looked good. He had some

267
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: really nice runs, but his stat line was absolutely terrible,

268
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: and that's what matters for fantasy it does. This reminds

269
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: me of Dalvin Cook last year running by the terrible

270
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: Vikings offensive line. He was running hard, running well, he

271
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: was super elusive, and it would be three yards to carry.

272
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: I think David Johnson had like a five yard carry

273
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: where he was caught like three yards in the backfield

274
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: and scoring through but five yards that I think that's

275
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: the worry going forward. Coming up next, let's identify the

276
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: true bell cow running backs. These are the guys who

277
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: are safe bets to get a lot of carries. After all,

278
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: your players can't score fantasy points if they don't touch

279
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: the ball. Get ready to hear a lot of this

280
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:40,920

287
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: deep dive on the running backs who will power the rock.

288
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: It's a time share league, but there are a few

289
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: backs that will get the vast majority of the work,

290
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: and Scott fish is identified every single one of them. Well,

291
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: there are not thirty two bell cow backs that I

292
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: can assure you. There's a lot less, all right, Scott

293
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: lay the data on us. Sure, Well, last year there

294
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: were eleven running backs with two touches and played in

295
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: at least nine games nine times. So that is our

296
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: that's our definition. That's kind of my base Here's why

297
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: it's my baseline. Every single one of those eleven running backs,

298
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: every single one finished as a top ten, top fifteen

299
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: Fantasy running back in PPR, in nine PPR and in

300
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: half PPR. That says a lot, and it tells you

301
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: the importance of finding those running backs that don't have

302
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: to do the time Share, Yep, you hit two touches,

303
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: you play at least nine games last year says you're

304
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: a top fifteen back. Fantastic. So those guys last year

305
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: where Ezekiel, Elliott, Todd Gurley, Barkley, Connor McCaffrey, Mixing, David Johnson,

306
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: Chris Carson, Kareem Hunt, Melvin Gordon, and Alvin Kamara. Alright, okay,

307
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: there's some question marks and those yes year, I'd say

308
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: a few from Kareem Hunt is not going to be

309
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: on that list anymore. Todd Gurley maybe not. Maybe maybe

310
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't get to that many games. Maybe he doesn't

311
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: get to that many touches. And of course Zeke and

312
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: Gordon have the hole that story about the other guys

313
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: are are kind of safe. Carson. You may worry about

314
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: Penny a lot. I'm a I'm Carson. Yeah, so we're

315
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: Team Carson here. But that touches amounts to about fourteen

316
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: per game. But every one of those guys averaged eight

317
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: teen per game in making that happen, So you go

318
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: be a little eighteen points per game, eighteen touches per game.

319
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: The ranges, you know, the finishes range from twelve to

320
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: thirty five so you really want to back that hits

321
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: eighteen touches per game. Yeah, that's and I don't want

322
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: thirty five. Running back thirty five doesn't interest me a lot. No, No,

323
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: that's like that's like the RB three, the end of

324
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: the RB three. It's like a flex play in your league. No,

325
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: we we need these bell cows. Two years ago, Todd

326
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: Gurley was on like sixty percent of championship winning teams.

327
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: Last year, Christian McCaffrey was on over fifty percent of

328
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: championship winning teams. You want one of those bell cows.

329
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: So here's some guys this year that might have a

330
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: shot at being a bell cow. Okay, I'm gonna start

331
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: out with Damian Williams. It's it's it's a little bit risky,

332
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: especially with Andrey Andy Reid's recent comments. But he's back

333
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: with running with the ones now that he's that he's healthy.

334
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: He averaged over eighteen touches per game at the end

335
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: of last year. Uh during the final five games, and

336
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of depth behind him. Depends on

337
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: how much you like Darwin Thompson. And even with Darwin Thompson,

338
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna be ahead and games they're gonna be running

339
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: down clocks. He might just get the touches he's it's

340
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: it's tough to speculate he'll he'll play less than nine games.

341
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: You can't, that's ridiculous. He should play every game. He'll

342
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: play every game. So we'll talk more about the Kansas

343
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: City potential as a timeshare backfield a little later in

344
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: this show. That's a risk you going to start with.

345
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna move on to David Montgomery. Yes, he

346
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: could walk right in, walk right into what Jordan Howard left.

347
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: Some people don't think he will. Some people think he will.

348
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: I think he will. Plus absolutely. I think he's a

349
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: much more efficient back. I think he's a better pass catcher.

350
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: We're talking about Jordan Howard, who averaged three point seven

351
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: yards per carry or or a fewer yards per carry

352
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: in sixteen of his final two games as a Bear.

353
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: I mean he he really can't be much worse than

354
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: the Bears vacated. Are eighteen running back touches per game

355
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: that can go straight to Montgomery. He can get that

356
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: to I believe Jordan Howard left to sixty on the table,

357
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: two seventy something like that. David Montgomery has every chance

358
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: in the world to be that that back. I love

359
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: David Montgomery currently sitting at running back for me. Do

360
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: you remember two months ago I do, when you were like,

361
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: you gotta get him in your top twenty, and I

362
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: was like, I think I can get him up to twenty.

363
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: Now love it? Uh this one, We're all going to

364
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: be super in on Carrie on Johnson. I think he

365
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: has I'm starting to talk to myself outside of that

366
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: top twelve that's going to a DP. I'm starting to

367
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: talk myself into him being the guy that can possibly

368
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: break into the top five of running backs. I don't

369
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: have Hi ranked there, but the opportunity is there. Detroit

370
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: didn't just lose nearly two hundred carries, they also lost

371
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: nearly a hundred running back targets. Given Patricia's desire to run,

372
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: Darryl Bevil's history of running the ball, uh Man, and

373
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: not to mention carry On already averaged fifteen touches per

374
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: game last year. You just need a few more and

375
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: to stay healthy. Yeah, that'll be that'll be a bit

376
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: of an issue for him. I'm not a believer. I'm

377
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: not a believer in car On Johnson at all, so

378
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: I cannot get behind this. Everybody's going to get behind this.

379
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: He he only had four touchdowns last year, which concerns me,

380
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: only three on the ground, and they brought in C. J.

381
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: Anderson who's a little bit of a goal line guy too,

382
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: So I think we have a vulture on our hands there,

383
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: and I think that this might not be a belk

384
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: howse situation. I do believe that the Lions want to

385
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: run the ball a lot and chart You've been pounding

386
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: that all off season. I have, but I think it's

387
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: going to be more of a timeshare than that. People think.

388
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: Here's the problem with that theory in my mind, and

389
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: you might be right. Just carry on. Johnson so much

390
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: better than C. J. Anderson and Zac Center that I'm

391
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: not worried. Yeah, we've seen, uh, you know, Patriots style

392
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: running games not always give the ball to the best athlete,

393
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: So I mean that may happen. I'll mention this stat

394
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: it's one of my favorites of this of this preseason.

395
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: Darryl Bebbles you new offensive coordinator for the Lions. In

396
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: the years in which he's been an offensive coordinator, he's

397
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: ranked number two in rushing attempts overall. Over All, those

398
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: seasons combined. Number two, he runs the ball, so we

399
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: will get plenty of running and from the line. And

400
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: I will note that that was Adrian Peterson and Marshawn

401
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: Lynch that he had in those backfields. Have that kind

402
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: of a runner in the backfield might be all of

403
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: Fay alright, Scott, who's next? Alright? I also want to

404
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: mention on that you could say that maybe they get

405
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: behind and they can't run the ball. Detroit. Yeah, they're

406
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: bad last year, and they still they still gave about

407
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: thirty touches per game to running back just about yea.

408
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: So Darryl Bubble by the way, averages exactly thirty rushes

409
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: per game, rushes of rushes over his over his career.

410
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: See I was, I was saying, thirty touches thirty rushes

411
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: is what he HAPs, so you can maybe expect more. Oh,

412
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to buy into this, but I do.

413
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 1: It's it's this one weird one that I don't even

414
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: know how to feel about it. Leonard four Nette, I'm

415
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: really already need to warm up to it. They lost

416
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: its terrible situation. They lost everything there, absolutely everything, But

417
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: in he averaged twenty three point four touches per game,

418
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: and he was on piece for a six total yard season.

419
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: He gets all of the goal line work like all

420
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: U Yeah, I think he had twelve of their sixteen

421
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: touchdowns inside the five or something like that. Uh. He

422
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: averages averages twenty one point nine touches per game over

423
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: his career. It's absolutely ridiculous what he what he does

424
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: when he's healthy. But the problem is health. They lost high,

425
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 1: they lost Yelden Oh, and the beat writers there want

426
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: him more involved in the passing game. They bring in

427
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: a couple of guys in rich Wall Armstrong who had

428
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: almost no receptions in college. And yeah, it's it's it's

429
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: really unlikely that they're going to get the receiving game work.

430
00:22:53,840 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 1: It's Leonard soft tissue for net is it to Bell

431
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: cow As? Remember at this time last year, where was

432
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,239
Speaker 1: he going end of the first round. It's just one

433
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 1: year later situation, if anything, is better, because the cornballst

434
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 1: type sleeper post type sleeper. There you go, Alfred Alfred

435
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: blue somehow, like you know Fitzpatrick. He always finds this

436
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: way into a couple of starts somehow though a couple

437
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: of couple of fans. Yea fournal missed the plane to

438
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: an away game or something like that and miss out.

439
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: It's a game for some some reason. All right, who's next?

440
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: Levan Bell is too obvious. I'm not even gonna go

441
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: over at Levan Bell is probably going to be about

442
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: He's a bell cow. Uh. In fact, to the point

443
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: that if Sam Donald gets better, this is not going

444
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: to be an issue. But I do worry that most

445
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: defenses are going to play just to stop Levyan Bell,

446
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,959
Speaker 1: contain him, make Sam Donald prove that he can beat you,

447
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: and that will may result in some some really disappointing

448
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: games out of Levy on Bell. But if Sam Donald's

449
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: going to continue in a sending trajectory of ability, then

450
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: Lean Bell could be fantastic. He's such a bell cow

451
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: we named the category after him. There you go. I'm

452
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: gonna give you four more quickly that have potential. It's

453
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: there a little risk here, though Marlon Mack average seventeen points,

454
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: seven touches per game, went healthy last year. I think, yeah,

455
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: I just drafted him the third round of a draft.

456
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: He's my number twelve running back. Here you go. Everybody's like, oh,

457
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: I can't catch you know we can catch he can

458
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: catch you can catch okay, catch okay, that's right, and

459
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: he will get the ball at the stripe yep, yep,

460
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: he did last year. Derrick Henry. How much is Dean

461
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: Lewis going to be involved? Did they learned from the

462
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: end of last year? He averaged fourteen touches per game

463
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: last year. Just needs a few more. Uh. He has

464
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: every potential to be a bell cow if that offense

465
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: stands around and they really invested in the line. They

466
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: brought in Staffold this year from the Rams, I believe

467
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's uh so that could be. That could

468
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: be good for him. Dalvin Cook, Dalvin Cook, he has

469
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: every opportunity to be that three down back as he's

470
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: a three down back. He says, he loves catching the ball.

471
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: He just gotta stay healthy. Yep. Averages fifteen point seven

472
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: touches per game when healthy. He's got over snap rate

473
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: when healthy. When he's healthy, he's not. It's not changing, guys,

474
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: He's going to be. He's going to be a potential,

475
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: potentially a fantastic player. Currently my number five running back, Wow,

476
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: you haven't way up there, and he's I may move

477
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: my head of David Johnson at four. I'm really nervous

478
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: about the Cardinals. I have no problem with that. I

479
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: had him like six or seven something like that even

480
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: before these holdouts. Yeah, so now I can definitely sounds

481
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 1: like a player that you might reach a round up. Well,

482
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 1: we'll find out. And this one's kind of a half

483
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: bill Nick Chubb, Nick Chub half a season of Bell Cow. Yeah.

484
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: Last year, over the second half of the season, the

485
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: last ten games, really, he averaged nineteen point six touches

486
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: per games, and he was a top ten fantasy running

487
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: back in that stretch. So I'm gonna give you, I'm

488
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: gonna attempt to give you an audio half bell Cow.

489
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: How's that? So when Hunt comes back, I don't know

490
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: if you still holds that bell Cow. But for the

491
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: first first State games, oh, coming up next? It is

492
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: the Reach Around will identify one player in every round

493
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: who you should take one round early. The reach round

494
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: answers the question which second rounder is worth taking in

495
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: the first round, which third rounder is worth a pick

496
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: in the second round. And you've heard us talking about

Speaker 1: from the league and their entire roster goes to the

00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio app. Guys, it is time for a

517
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: reach around which players are worthy of being selected a

518
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: full round early in your fantasy drafts. Hello, when somebody

519
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: walks into the room and says it's time for a

520
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: reach around. Yes. The idea again is these are players

521
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: who will take players. Will first start with players that

522
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: are going in the second round, have an average draft position.

523
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: The second round, we will identify the players we would

524
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: take in the first round. Your each allowed one player.

525
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: Scott gets a player, Matt gets a player. I get

526
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: a player. We have not coordinated. We may choose the

527
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: same players, which I think makes it just that much

528
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: more convincing that you should take that player. We have

529
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: not coordinated this in any way. I don't know who

530
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna say. We begin in the second round, which

531
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: player the second round a DP should you take in

532
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: the first? Should read them off? Give me, just give

533
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: me the guys. Just give me the just give me

534
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: the winners. Otherwise it's too many names, too long for radio.

535
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: Just give me the guys, the guys that you the

536
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: one guy you would take, will begin with Scott. For me,

537
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: it's jujuicd in this Schuster. He's got a first pick

538
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: in the second round ADP. So it's kind of it's

539
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: a little bit but I told you this the other day.

540
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: Charge I had a one oh four pick and I

541
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: debated DeAndre Hopkins introducing the Shuster. I like him that

542
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: much this year. I oh, it sounds like you're gonna

543
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: say something. I was just giving you a chance. Keep

544
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: going on. Thank you know, Jujuic Smith Schuster. They lost

545
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: a ton of targets. He's going to be their wide

546
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: receiver one, even in games within without Antonio Brown. He

547
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: showed up last year. I'm I'm all in on Judice

548
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: mis Suster as a wide receiver one and maybe even

549
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: top five wide receiver this year, Matt, who in the

550
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: second round? Would you reach a round four and taken

551
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: the first I've been on record all off season saying

552
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: that you can take Travis Kelsey as high as pick

553
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: number four in your drafts. I would actually like to

554
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: take Travis Kelsey in the stinkhole. That didn't sound right, right,

555
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about We'll talk about the stakehole more later.

556
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: But the fact that Matt wants to take Travis Kelsey

557
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: and I digress. Yeah, boy, along with Travis Kelsey. Do

558
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: you want to make your case he's in the best

559
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: offense in the league. He's in a top tier of

560
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: tight ends by himself in my opinion, Uh, he's the

561
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: best receiver on that team. And I'm going to make

562
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: a case for him in that segment, so we'll just

563
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,239
Speaker 1: we'll just move it on. I will say this, I

564
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: wasn't listening to a first rounder on Travis Kelsey until

565
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill got cleared. The Tyreek Hill and all the

566
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: coverage he drags down field. I think that's ultimately what

567
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 1: helps Treviso so much and makes him a first rounder.

568
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: I also chose to reach a round on Juju Smith

569
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: Schuster got on this. What's the scenario where he flops?

570
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: I don't know one. I mean, they're just there. I mean,

571
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: he's been great his entire career. I think the only

572
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: scenario is they triple cover him the entire year, which

573
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: just opens holes for everybody else in that offense. I

574
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: just think even if he's he was already a huge

575
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: threat that deserved coverage. And yeah, he gets number one

576
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: coverage a fair amount now, but I think he'll also

577
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: play in and out of the slot, and he could

578
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: he'll be able to break a lot of number one

579
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: cornerback coverage by moving to the slot. So I'm I'm

580
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: absolutely with you on Juju Smith Schuster. All right, let's

581
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: go to Round three, which Round three players should you

582
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: take in round two, Scott George Kittle. For me, George

583
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: Kittle is my tight end one. I think he only

584
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: improves this year in his third year. I think the

585
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: other weapons around him are going to open him up

586
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: a little bit more. I think Jimmy Garoppolo is a

587
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: big upgrade from Nick Mullins. So for me, it's Kittle,

588
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: all right. I also chose Kittle because if I don't

589
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: get Travis Kelsey in the first round, I definitely want

590
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: George Kittle in the second round. I have three tiers

591
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: of tight ends in my top three. Okay, it's Kelsey's

592
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: the tier by himself, It's Kittle's the next tier by himself,

593
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: and then Art's and probably Angram and Hunter Henry are

594
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: kind of close after that. I'm kind of with you

595
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: on that. Actually. Um. I went with Carrie on Johnson

596
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: for the reasons we discussed last segment. I love Carrie

597
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: on Johnson is somebody that's going to benefit from all

598
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: of the additional running the Lions are going to have

599
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: their We're gonna have to figure out a dollar bet

600
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: to place on Carrie on Johnson before this. Alright, I'm up, Okay, good, Alright,

601
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: let's go to the next round. Round which round four?

602
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: A DP player would you reach around to round three? Oh,

603
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: it's got to be Chris Godwin. I've I've loved him

604
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: for too long not to say Chris Godwin. They lost

605
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty one targets and and Chris Godwin

606
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: should soak up a bunch of that. Mike Evans just

607
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: recently said he's not the wide receiver too. We're competed

608
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: to be the wide receiver one of this team. That's

609
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: how Mike Evans feels about Chris Godwin. Without Deshan Jackson,

610
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin was averaging eight targets seventy three yards, and

611
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: in those six six games without Deshan Jackson, he scored

612
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: four touchdowns. Like he without Deshan Jackson. There, he's going

613
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: to be a big threat in that offense. Chris Godwin,

614
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: currently my number sixteen wide receiver is your round three

615
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: reaching round. So I looked at the players in this

616
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: round and overall it's kind of a boring list of

617
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: names to me. So I was thinking, what player is

618
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: there enough hype on that I would have to take

619
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: him around early? And that's basically why I went with

620
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: David Montgomery because I think the hype is only growing

621
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: with him. Uh. He He's like right in the same range.

622
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: Is like mark Ingram and those kind of guys who

623
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: I can wait and get in the fourth round, But

624
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: I have to go get David Montgomery in the third

625
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: because he's not gonna last. He's not gonna last that long.

626
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: So I think he's the sexy name there, and that's

627
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: why I'm going with Montgomery. Julian Edelman is my number

628
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: nine ranked wide receiver. You've been crazy, Julian Edelman. Julian,

629
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: and I know, I understand. He's got a pretty good

630
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: quarterback to get him the ball. You've got all the

631
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: vacated targets from Gronk gone, Chris Hogan gone, Josh Gordon gone.

632
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: That's a lot of vacated targets, and there's really only

633
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: one guy to get the ball to there. He is

634
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: the one A and one B target hog target sponge

635
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: for Tom Brady. Julian Edelman is sitting on a gigantic

636
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: PPR season, I believe. Are you worried about him missing

637
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: a few games at the beginning of the year. Not necessarily, No, Okay,

638
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I'm not I'm you know this.

639
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: He's He's always been a guy finds ways to miss

640
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: a couple of games every year, but hopefully, hopefully that

641
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: will not be the case here and we're gonna get

642
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 1: plenty out of him. I think that's the case. Let's

643
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: go to our next round. It's which play with around

644
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: five a d P. Should you reach a round into

645
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: round four four four four Scott. For me, it's Chris Carson.

646
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 1: I think that offense is going to stay run heavy

647
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: because they can because Russell Wilson is so efficient passing

648
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: the ball, and they have a hundred fifty one vacated

649
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: running back touches. That's a lot out of Mike Davis

650
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: and whatnot. All right, they didn't lose their top two

651
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: running backs in fairness, Mike Davis was their number two

652
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: last year. I guess because he's better than Rashad Penny.

653
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: But I think most of that is going to go

654
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: to Chris Carson. They've been raving about his hands in

655
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: camp for for pass catching, so he might get more

656
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: involved there too as well. I also went Chris Carson

657
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 1: for most of the same reasons, but I will add

658
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: Seattle's defense took a significant step back this year, and

659
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: one of the reasons Seattle is going to stay in

660
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: the game this year is by playing ball control offense,

661
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: kind of like what the Cowboys did with Zeke a

662
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: few years ago, where run the ball, go slow at

663
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: the clock, run the ball, go slow at the clock,

664
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: and keep that defense off the field as much as possible.

665
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: And I think that bodes really well for Chris Carson

666
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: this season, all three of us, Chris Carson seems like

667
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: he's the guy you gotta reach around on. He's my

668
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: number six running back. Right now, your rankings are crazy,

669
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: I know, listen, you can never say that I I

670
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: succumbed to group think on my rankings. I've got. I've

671
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: definitely got my own nut rankings. That's I think Chris

672
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: Carson is a viable selection in round two, let alone

673
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: round three for our reach around. Oh, actually there's around

674
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: four for our reach around. So you know, I think

675
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 1: he's tremendous value from compared to where he's going. Let's

676
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: go to round six. Which round six player would you

677
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: reach a round four and take in round five? Scott?

678
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: So I have two guys that I love here. One

679
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: I know one I'm going to talk about later in

680
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: a later segments, So I'm gonna just go. I'll go

681
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 1: with the other guy. I'm mad about their ADPs being

682
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: close now because I was grabbing them in both, but

683
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with D. D. Westbrook. He's he had

684
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: over a hundred targets last year. Mark Easley is gone.

685
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,919
Speaker 1: He is like defined himself as the wide receiver one

686
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: in camp. Nick Foles loves him, uh, at least in camp.

687
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 1: I think he's got every possibility to be a hundred

688
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: forty target guy there. Scott, I think he reached like

689
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: two or three rounds there. I thought I saw him

690
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: in that round. Yeah, I don't think he is eight. Yeah,

691
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: he really likes to take him and take him in

692
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: round five. I want you in my draft. Yeah, I

693
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: read down two rounds too far. Alright, moving on, I

694
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 1: got DeShawn Watson because if you're going to go for

695
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: a super super high upside quarterback, which I kind of

696
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: like to do early, if there's quarterbacks such a deep position,

697
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: so you can get really good guys in the tenth, eleventh,

698
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: twelfth round and they'll still be there. But if you

699
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 1: want a guy who's a potential league winner, you kind

700
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: of got to reach for that early. And I think

701
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's one of those guys the rushing upside and

702
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: his combo of wide receivers makes his upside just completely

703
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: through the roof. So I think Deshaun Watson is a

704
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 1: good guy to reach around on. From round six to

705
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 1: round five, I took Hunter Henry. That doesn't surprise Henry Averaging.

706
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: I can predict out all of the guys that you're

707
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: going to take because you've made the mistake of having

708
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 1: to to be in my near vicinity of off season.

709
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 1: You know all my takes, Hunter Henry averaging half a

710
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: touchdown per game through his two full his two years

711
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: of service, former first rounder. I think it all comes

712
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 1: together here. This is a team that has a variety

713
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: of vacated targets as well, and this is a great

714
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: opportunity in Tonio Gates gone, Terrell Williams gone, a great

715
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 1: opportunity for Hunter Henry to exert himself into the elite

716
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: strata of tight ends. Let's go to the seventh round

717
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: a DP, guys, who would you take when the sixth round,

718
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: I know who Scott's gonna take? Yes, yes, no, no,

719
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm double checking my list here this time for this one,

720
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Miles Sanders, even though I really

721
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: liked Darryl Darryl Henderson here as well, but I'm gonna

722
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: go with Miles Miles Sanders because I think they've never

723
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: had a back this good. They've never drafted. I mean,

724
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: it's been the better part of a decade since they've

725
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: gone all the way up to the second round to

726
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 1: draft a running back. Maybe not in early in the season,

727
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: but by later in the season. I think that he

728
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: might be Belk cow status. He's going to be fourteen

729
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: fifty six seventeen touches j j I was fifteen touches

730
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: the game. I think he gets there, but it might

731
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: not be until later in the season, but I'm I'm

732
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: grabbing him around early. Scott Fish is a great fantasy mind.

733
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: I have Miles Sanders as well. I've seen enough in

734
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: his limited camp and preseason time to know that it's

735
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: only a matter of time till he just leaves Jordan's

736
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: Howard in his dust and he's he's going to be

737
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: a bell Cow. Probably not this year, but probably all Yeah,

738
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: that's the problems. It's coming soon. And and Miles Sanders

739
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: is the guy that by the second half of the season.

740
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: I think he's really lightening it up. I think he's

741
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: a good talent. The problem I've got with Miles Sanders

742
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: is we just we know what Doug Peters offensive philosophy.

743
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: Offensive philosophy is unshakable. I just don't know that there's

744
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: gonna be anybody is so good that all of a sudden,

745
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson goes, well, I'm throwing out everything I've ever

746
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: shown you before, and I'm gonna crystallize on one guy.

747
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: This part of the draft is getting kind of dirty, though,

748
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: and you have to kind of take stabs of people here.

749
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 1: Dirty or arthritic. It's both. The arthritic knee of Todd

750
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: Gurley leads me to Darryl Henderson. Darryl if I'm if,

751
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm if, I'm as far down on Todd Gurley as

752
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: I am, and I have got him ranked number running

753
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: back number twenty four. Obviously, I don't want any part

754
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 1: of Todd Gurley from ranking him twenty four. There are

755
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: people taking him at like five and X. We know

756
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: it's going to be a time share. Hundred probability of

757
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: a time share in that backfield. Darryl Henderson is the

758
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,479
Speaker 1: exciting breakaway rookie from Memphis. He's the most likely guy

759
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: to h to be the beneficiary of that. And I

760
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: think there's a fifty chance a coin flips chance that

761
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley doesn't finish the season he ends up on

762
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: I R. I'm looking at your cheat sheet right now.

763
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 1: You do have Todd Gurley at, but you have Darryl

764
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: Henderson at. Why isn't it flipped? Come on, put your money.

765
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I wouldn't draft Todd Gurley before him.

766
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: I would a couple of picks before. But that said,

767
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna have anything to with Todd Gurley. I'd

768
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: rather invest that second round pick you gotta put into

769
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley. Give me my reach around to Darryl Henderson

770
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: in the sixth. Now, let's move over to the eighth

771
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: round a DP players, who are you going to reach

772
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: a round four into the seventh? I know who it's

773
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: going to be, Scott, I know this time. I feel

774
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: you know what? Just for that, I'm gonna switch it

775
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: to Curtis Samuel, just because I already reached three rounds,

776
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: I'll switch it to Curtis Samuel, who who really really

777
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: made had some good games at the end of last year. Uh,

778
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: they shipped out a lot of players. It's just going

779
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 1: to be Curtis Samuel he's lighting and DJ Moore he's

780
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 1: lighting up early preseason and O t s earlier this year.

781
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: He's just He's a guy that there's a lot of

782
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: hype about. But I'm all in on that. I think

783
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: the past. Tim's gotta go somewhere and can and Cam

784
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 1: Newton does love Olson, but his ankle is gonna break

785
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 1: you well week three and then they're gonna need to

786
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: depend on Curtis Samuel. Makes sense, Matt. Guys you need

787
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: to reach around on are the guys who are exciting,

788
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,240
Speaker 1: the guys who have the buzz, the guys who won't

789
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: last till that round. You have to pick them before

790
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: they go. And that guy in this round is Kyler Murray. Uh.

791
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: He's another guy similar to Deshaun Watson. If you want

792
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: to go for a shoot the Moon League kind of

793
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: winner player, He's got the potential to do that with

794
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: his running and his passing ability in that offense, especially

795
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: with that bad defense, that might be a lot of

796
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: shootouts there. Um, if you miss that position so deep

797
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: that you can get another guy and you're fine, so

798
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: you can shoot for Kyler Murray in round seven. Go

799
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: take Philip Rivers in the eleventh sund to just back

800
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: up that selection and Cap Murray goes belly up on you.

801
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: My reach around player in round seven is Vance McDonald.

802
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: Oh am, I excited about the upside of Vance McDonald.

803
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna make a trade today in our empire. Lease.

804
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: I got Vance McDonald's sitting there. You got Travis Kelsey.

805
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 1: You're ready to get rid of the vans if you

806
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: if you roll together, add together last year Vance McDonald

807
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: and Jesse James's production, you would have had tight end

808
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: four last year ago. Jesse James isn't gone. He's a lion.

809
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: Now there's no other tight end to pass two. Antonio

810
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: Brown leaves behind one hundred sixty eight targets. Those targets

811
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: have to go someplace, and Juju can't take any more

812
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: targets and already had Vance McDonald sitting out a potentially

813
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: big year. All right, I think we got time for

814
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:07,720
Speaker 1: one more round. Guys, very quickly, give me the players

815
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 1: you would take in round eight. Uh. For me, it's

816
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: Marquez Veldes Scantling. He's doing really well in preseason here

817
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: he had seven games with at least six targets last year.

818
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers loves him. He's gonna be their number two

819
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 1: deep speed, Marquez Velde scantling reaching two rounds and getting

820
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt potential league winner down the stretch in your

821
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,919
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs. I kind of like that angle. Um, I've

822
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: got Russell Wilson because I think this is well, Hey,

823
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: he's a really good quarterback, can get this light and

824
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: I get his rushing his rushing production as well. I

825
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: love all of that. Coming up next, let's answer three

826
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: tough questions. You get to play along, play against our

827
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: panel of experts. Try to go three and oh. Coming

828
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: up next on Fantasy Football Weekly. It is Fantasy Football Weekly.

829
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm Paul Charchi and Coner fanball dot Com, and my

830
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: cohorts are Scott Matt Harrison. Were cohorts, now co hoorts

831
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: and co hosts, so you get a little of both. Alright, boys,

832
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,760
Speaker 1: it's time to get into the grinder with three tough questions. Listeners.

833
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: You can play along see if you can out duel

834
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: Scott and Matt. It's not easy. We begin with tough

835
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: question number one. It looks like we won't see Andrew

836
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: Luck in the preseason. Can owners come out of their

837
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: drafter auction with Andrew Luck as their presumed starter at quarterback? Scott, Sure,

838
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: let me let me turn on my mic. Sure. Yeah,

839
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: he was my QB three. I moved in behind Baker now,

840
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: so now he's my QB four. I still have faith

841
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: that he's gonna play fourteen to fifteen games, and you

842
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: can put someone else. You can get a quarterback on

843
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: the chief to stream for those uh those first week

844
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,720
Speaker 1: or two or whatever. He can be my presumed starter

845
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: even if he plays a Week one. I'll probably still play, Okay,

846
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: matt Um, Yes, because of the the upside of Andrew

847
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: Luck kind of similar to what I said about Kyler,

848
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: kind of similar to what I said about Deshaun Watson.

849
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:14,280
Speaker 1: His upside is a QB one overall in the entire league?

850
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: Can you can You can leave your draft feeling confident

851
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: that Andrew Luck is ready to go, and if he's not,

852
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 1: you get a backup in the twelfth or thirteenth round.

853
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: And the quarterback is so deep. If you whiff on

854
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck, you can back him up with these quarterbacks

855
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 1: going tenth rounder later and that's this is fifteen or

856
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: worse than quarterback adp Right now, those guys are Philip Rivers,

857
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, Jimmy Garoppolo, Lamar Jackson, and Dak Prescott. I

858
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,399
Speaker 1: go to war with those guys. Any of those guys

859
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: are just fine. So you get those guys a back

860
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: up with Andrew Luck, You're just fine. Um, you guys

861
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: crack the code on this one. I think you can

862
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: still draft Andrew Luck, and you're gonna get him at

863
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: a heavy discount. There's gonna be a lot of panic now.

864
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: Nobody's talking about him missing the season on this. This

865
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: isn't an a c L. In all probability, d Andrew

866
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,919
Speaker 1: Luck will be under center by week two, week three,

867
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: maybe week one. I don't think, I don't. I don't

868
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: think that this is going to be so severe. You know,

869
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: we're not doctors. We don't know his leg ankle issue,

870
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: but there's no suggestions at this point that there's a

871
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 1: an extended period where he's likely to be gone. So yes,

872
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: I was gonna say I was. I was talking to

873
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: David Chow the other day through d m S and

874
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: looking at his report his his preseason injury report doctor

875
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: Stephen Chow Yes, former sports doctor. Yes, formerly for this

876
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: Aniego Chargers. Uh. And he believes Andrew Luck might miss

877
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: the first few weeks. But just just thrown out there. Yeah, um,

878
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: but I think that's probably it right. We're not talking months.

879
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: Were talking a few weeks, not a few months. I

880
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: think that's the difference. Correct answer. Yes, you can come

881
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: out of your draft with Andrew Luck as your QB. One.

882
00:46:55,160 --> 00:47:01,280
Speaker 1: Tough question number two, How many running back handcuffs are justifiable?

883
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 1: Right now? Charged this one? This one is tough? Oh man. Uh.

884
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: Occipital lobe damage for me for sure, that means I

885
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: have visual problems and I have difficulty recognizing objects, an

886
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: inability to identify colors, and trouble recognizing words. That is

887
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: a tough question that you gotta slow down on these

888
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: tough ones. Okay, you make them a little bit. You

889
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: have to get the answer exactly right on the number,

890
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 1: exactly right. The number is eight eight exactly Uh. David

891
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: Johnson with Chase Edmonds, Joe Mixon with Geo, Bernard Todd,

892
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:40,280
Speaker 1: Gurley with Darryl Henderson, Dalvin Cook with Alexander Madison, Kenyan

893
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: Drake and Klin Blage I think you need those two together,

894
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 1: James Conner and Jalen Samuel's, Chris Carson and Rashad Penny

895
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: and a bonus triple handcuff Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler and

896
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: Justin Jackson, who you can all get together. Justin Jackson's

897
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 1: going pretty late, but I like them quite a bit.

898
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: All right, I think I have your same list as

899
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: you're going through it. Did you get Tony Pollard with

900
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: cz Elliott? I did not? You want you want to

901
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: change your answer to nine? You know what I would

902
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 1: like to change my answer to nine times? Nine times

903
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 1: nine times? Okay, thanks Scott for the help. Basically, so

904
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 1: you're going nine as well, nine times for Scott. You

905
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: guys have a funnels fundamental misunderstanding of what a handcuff

906
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: should be and can be in this. Are you talking

907
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 1: just running backs that so have no value outside of

908
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: their starter or I'm talking about whether you would advise

909
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: people to make that handcuff happen. You've drafted the first guy,

910
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: so now you need to go get the backup. Here's

911
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: why I think that you should make these guys happen.

912
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,439
Speaker 1: If any of these guys go down, all of these

913
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 1: backup names instantly become a startable running back in your

914
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 1: fantasy league, and maybe an RB one or a high

915
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: end RB two. A lot of these are really good

916
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 1: off fences, and a lot of these there's nothing behind them.

917
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: So if running back one goes down, these these guys

918
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 1: are great handcuffs to have. No, here's your problem that. Yeah,

919
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: I'll give you a perfect example of the handcuff you

920
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: don't want. You don't want to make is one that's

921
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: gonna cost you a heavy selection heavy That second pick

922
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: is gonna cost you too much holding a dead player.

923
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: There's I don't want that. I don't want that on

924
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 1: my team. Right, that's the point of me. I see,

925
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: I don't like anything. I want to want handcuffs. Don't

926
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: want a bunch of guys that are just insurance policies

927
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: that are littering up space that provides nothing until the

928
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 1: player goes down. I don't want any of that. I

929
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: have to have my criteria here has to be the

930
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: backup has to be dirt cheap. It's got to be.

931
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: They weren't Chase Edmonds's dirt cheap. Yeah, but also he stinks.

932
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: There's also that too. Here's your here are your three

933
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: justify hand puffs that I can would only recommend Nick

934
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:08,399
Speaker 1: Chubb took hunt. Wait wait wait wait wait wait, that's

935
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 1: not dirt sheep. We're just went against your own rooms

936
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: round tens absolute and then oh my god, Tony Pollard

937
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: with a round sixteen zeke. Then c J Anderson around

938
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: eighteen behind Carrie on Johnson because he's missed time. Can't

939
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 1: do Melvin Gordon because also actually cost too much. I

940
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: can't do Darryll Anderson because he costs too much. Behind

941
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley. Those guys cost too much. I can't put

942
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 1: a hand I can't spend a summer with pick and

943
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: a handcuff. That's absurd. What about you just did on

944
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: Kareem Huns round ten in a in a really good

945
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: offense and Deso Smith stinks the correct answer is three

946
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,479
Speaker 1: tough Question number three, I just put my question away.

947
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: Hold on what about Johnson? Question number three? Andy Reid

948
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: said he's going he's looking for a running back by committee.

949
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: And here's the direct quote from Andy Reid. This is him,

950
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: not me. You're Andy Reid voice. I don't think I

951
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: can do an Andy Reid voice. Just do a weird

952
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: accent every time I feel weird accent, I turned into Dracula.

953
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: I want it. Let's go do it. Do it here,

954
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 1: I'll do it. That's the count. This is Andy Reid's quote.

955
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: I did a little of I did a little bit

956
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: of that back when I was in Philadelphia talking about

957
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 1: running back by committee. I did a letter of the

958
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: Vampire and I was in Philadelphia kind of a running

959
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: back by committee deal and we had some success with it.

960
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: We'll do that here. There's your quote. Do you want

961
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:49,240
Speaker 1: to do the Transylvanian version. We'll do that here. What's

962
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: the appropriate level of panic for people who have drafted

963
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 1: Damian Williams or we're planning to draft Damian Williams. No

964
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: annek some panic or a bowl loosening level of eggistential anxiety.

965
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,439
Speaker 1: We begin with Scott. It's honestly been some this whole

966
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: offseason for me. Like that quote doesn't change anything from

967
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 1: how I felt about him all off season. He's people

968
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: love him, and someone in my league is going to

969
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: like him more than me. He has average eighteen touches

970
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 1: per game in those last five games last year. And

971
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: and but I mean guys like Correll buck Alter, even

972
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 1: in those committees, I know even in those committees had

973
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 1: fantasy relevant days. I just think Damian Williams price is

974
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,359
Speaker 1: a little too high right now. But I have some

975
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: I'm I guess the answer some okay, all that to

976
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: some not to get to some churches going to cite uh.

977
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 1: The closer we get to the season, the less you

978
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 1: can believe a coach quote which is absolutely true and

979
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: and so that that's number one the why I have

980
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 1: no no level of an anxiety about Kareem Hunt or

981
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: sorry not Kareem Hunt. I have Kareem Hunt listed on

982
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: this page because in eleven regular season games last season,

983
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt had fewer than seventeen touches only one time.

984
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 1: In fifteen games in twenty seventeen, Kareem Hunt had fewer

985
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:21,760
Speaker 1: than seventeen touches only twice. Andy Reid likes Bell Cows.

986
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: Williams took over in Week thirteen last year as a

987
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: time share. That didn't last long. He had seven touches

988
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 1: in week thirteen, Then he had twelve the next week,

989
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 1: Then he had sixteen the week after that, then he

990
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,479
Speaker 1: had twenty the next week. They figured it out pretty quick.

991
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 1: In the playoffs, he got thirty touches and fifteen touches

992
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 1: in his two games. This includes almost five receptions per

993
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 1: game in games he started and finished. Plus they liked

994
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: him enough to give him the contract during the end

995
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: of last season. They signed him to be their bell cow.

996
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: He's gonna be there bell cow, Damian Williams. Correct level

997
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 1: of panic is none. For the reason I have you.

998
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 1: You hit all my reasons. That was excellent that I

999
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:06,879
Speaker 1: have nothing left except I'll mention this to go back

1000
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: to how you can't believe coaches at the closer the

1001
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 1: court that season comes in May, Eric b Enemy said

1002
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: we're we are a workhorse team. We don't I'm paraphrasing,

1003
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, we don't. You know, we don't do buy committee.

1004
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: We do our workhorses. And Damian Williams our workhorse. Now. Funny,

1005
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,439
Speaker 1: as we get into the season and they're already starting

1006
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: to think about week one and they're starting to the

1007
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:29,359
Speaker 1: chickennery is starting suddenly. Andy Reid is talking about when

1008
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 1: he rolled out Brian Westbrook in n not listening to that,

1009
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:37,240
Speaker 1: and I don't care. Hopefully you went three and oh

1010
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 1: I hope that is I hope that was the case.

1011
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: I still think I went three, and oh you not

1012
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: eight eight and a half is not even an answer. Uh,

1013
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 1: when when we come back, The first three picks in

1014
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: your fantasy draft are pretty easy in some order. You

1015
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,240
Speaker 1: got Alvin Cameron and sa Quon bark then Christie McCaffrey.

1016
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: But beginning picked four, you're in the st cole and

1017
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 1: it only gets murkier from there. Will give you the

1018
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 1: perfect selection for every pick for the rest of the

1019
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:10,879
Speaker 1: first round. After those big three guys, it's from the

1020
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: stinkhole and beyond. Coming up next on Fantasy Football Weekly.

1021
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 1: It is a preseason edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. You know,

1022
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: the first round is pretty easy when you've got one

1023
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: of the first three selections. Yeah, you know that that's easy.

1024
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 1: It's Alvin Kamarain, sa Kwon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey. But what

1025
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:37,320
Speaker 1: about when they're gone? Pick four is this year's stinkhole.

1026
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 1: Every year's got the stinkhole. This year it's all the

1027
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: way up to pick four. I like percent of fantasy

1028
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: players are in the stinkhole this year. Well, the stinkhole

1029
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: keep moving, as we'll see throughout this segment to well

1030
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: that that could that could be as well. Uh, you know,

1031
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: the stinkhole was picked five a month ago, and now

1032
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott to hold out and everything now he's he

1033
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: moves on. There's only three guys that running backs that

1034
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: feel really say, let's talk about what to do with

1035
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: that pick four in the stink hole and every pick

1036
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 1: after that in the first round. And the way we

1037
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 1: decided to go about this is we just we debated

1038
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: between ourselves about who was the perfect guy and who

1039
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: were the two viable candidates for each one of these spots.

1040
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,879
Speaker 1: So we begin with pick number four. The first guy

1041
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 1: we considered here was David Johnson. Matt tell us about

1042
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 1: David Johnson why he could make sense and picked four.

1043
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: So I think we can all agree that the entire

1044
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:32,320
Speaker 1: Cardinals offense was a complete disaster last year, right, well,

1045
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 1: I mean mostly yes, Um, he was still third in

1046
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 1: the league and rushing attempts and he added fifty receptions

1047
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: and DJ still finished with almost total yards and ten

1048
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 1: total touchdowns. Not bad. That as him as a top

1049
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: ten fantasy back in literally every format. And that was

1050
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 1: in a year where that offense was just hot garbage.

1051
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: It was a dumpster fire. So this year, with Cliff

1052
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: Kingsbury and Kyler Murray as the combo on offense. We

1053
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: can only believe at this is trending upward. So I

1054
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: think that you're looking at four hundred yards in tental

1055
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns as your floor and sky's the limit for the ceiling.

1056
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: UH for pick four, I UH, I thought the other

1057
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 1: guy we should debate between David Johnson and DeAndre Hopkins.

1058
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 1: The first rounds all about mitigating risk. Hopkins as as

1059
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 1: safe a selection as there is in the entire league. Arguably,

1060
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: hopkins wide receiver rank in the two years with Deshaun

1061
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: Watson was too and one. I mean, you know this

1062
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 1: is you know he was teken last year and he

1063
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: was one the year before that. Double digit touchdowns three

1064
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 1: of the last four years, including both of the years

1065
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: with DeAndre Hopkins. It's like a good Julio Jones. The

1066
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 1: only the only thing that is entire career, the only

1067
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: thing that's brought down DeAndre Hopkins. It took Brick Oswiler

1068
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: to take him down. That was the only year which

1069
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 1: he didn't perform at a high level. Um that get

1070
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: this and as well, if you're just talking about mitigating risk,

1071
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: the Texans have played one hundred games since DeAndre Hopkins

1072
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 1: was drafted, he's played in ninety nine nine times. Nine times.

1073
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 1: I tried to do nine and nine didn't. It didn't

1074
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: work nine nine of the one. Mitigating all of that risk,

1075
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: we ultimately decided to choose DeAndre Hopkins at pick four.

1076
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 1: We think that's the stinkhole song. Gosh, you guys made

1077
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: a mistake. Well maybe we did. So let's go to

1078
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: pick number five. Well, let's roll forward everything you just

1079
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 1: said about David Johnson and now Scott let's put him

1080
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: up against Davante Adams. So that's our new combatants for

1081
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: pick number five in the first round. Heard about David Johnson,

1082
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 1: tell us about Adams. So in Aria Rodger's career, his

1083
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: top wide receiver has finished in the top fifteen thirteen times.

1084
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: That's a lot. That's more than nine, including three times

1085
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 1: in the top ten in the last four full seasons

1086
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: he's played Adams. Davante Adams has double digit touchdowns three

1087
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: years in a row, has the most received me touchdowns

1088
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL in that span, and you could argue

1089
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 1: there's even more of a gap recently between him and

1090
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 1: his fellow receivers. He's gonna be targeted, just a target hog.

1091
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 1: He will be a target hog. All right, we hashed

1092
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 1: it out. We went between David Johnson and Davante Adams

1093
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 1: for pick five, and we landed on We made in

1094
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 1: another mistake, I don't think. Come on, give me my

1095
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: David Johnson advanced around six. David Johnson still available at six.

1096
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we're so happy. Let's get him now.

1097
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: He goes up against Michael Thomas. Let's make the case

1098
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: for Michael Thomas led the NFL and receptions last year.

1099
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: He was third the year before that. Incredibly incredibly reliable.

1100
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: He catches everything that comes his way, broke the NFL record. Right,

1101
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: He's He's got a quarterback who never misses a game.

1102
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: He's in a high functioning offense. There's nothing not to

1103
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 1: like about Michael Thomas. I will add on Michael Thomas

1104
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,439
Speaker 1: because I like him a lot as well. Alright, over

1105
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: his last forty one games as a pro, averaging nine

1106
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 1: and a half targets, seven point two receptions, eighty six

1107
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: yards and half a touchdown a game. And in those

1108
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 1: forty one games, he's only had ten games in there

1109
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 1: that were kind of duds from a fantasy perspective. So

1110
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 1: from a consistency standpoint, he's sitting at about seventy and

1111
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: that's what you want in the first round pick yeah,

1112
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: and by the way, for those of you in guilloteen leagues,

1113
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 1: that's that's what it's all about. Maybe consistency is exactly

1114
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 1: what you're looking for. So with the picks pick six,

1115
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: we considered David Johnson and Michael Thomas, and we ultimately

1116
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 1: picked David Johnson. David Johnson, Hey, got you got your

1117
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: guy through finally, Yes, So we roll Michael Thomas forward

1118
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: to pick seven. In the first round, we considered Michael Thomas.

1119
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 1: We also considered Ezekiel Elliott. Here does the slide end

1120
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 1: with this spot, Scott tell us about Ezekiel Elliott, Well,

1121
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: oh man, assuming he plays well, if we can make

1122
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: that assumption. The most touches per game last year second most,

1123
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: just behind Levian Bell the year before. In his three years,

1124
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 1: he's over averaging over twenty five touches per game. That's insane.

1125
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:12,439
Speaker 1: He led the NFL in carries and yards in both

1126
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 1: of the years he wasn't suspended and uh last and

1127
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: he led the NFL in rushing yards per game all

1128
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 1: three years and uh last year he caught seventy seven passes.

1129
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 1: Even though that that's going to go down, it shows

1130
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 1: that he can get it done in that area as well.

1131
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: The problem is he's in Cabo right now. That is

1132
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 1: a that's a bit of a of a mystery right there.

1133
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: Last time I was in Cabo got stung by jellyfish.

1134
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 1: I hope that doesn't happen to h Did somebody p

1135
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 1: on you? R Kelly never never, here's a tip for

1136
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 1: a little where ever scuba dive with R Kelly. Oh boy,

1137
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: that's an added bonus advice that you don't R Kelly

1138
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 1: scuba divers with pick seven. We considered Michael Thomas and

1139
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott. We chose Michael Tomas. So we'll roll forward

1140
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott here and let's put him up against Julio Jones.

1141
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you a little about Julio Jones. He was

1142
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 1: the most targeted player last year. He was third in receptions.

1143
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 1: He was first in yards last year receiving yards. He

1144
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 1: finally started to find the end zone eight scores last year.

1145
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkisian gone, that's gotta be additioned by subtraction by itself.

1146
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: Dirk Cutter comes in and Dirk Cutter knows him well.

1147
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 1: He was his offensive coordinator where he posted his only

1148
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 1: double digit there was under Dirk Cutter. So we considered

1149
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott and Julio Jones with the eighth selection, and

1150
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 1: we chose Zeke. So we'll roll forward Julio Jones as

1151
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 1: a possibility for Week nine, and let's put him up

1152
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 1: against Travis Kelsey. Matt was about Travis Kelsey, Like I said,

1153
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,919
Speaker 1: if you want safety and reli ability with your first

1154
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 1: round pick, but you also want some upside, then Travis Kelsey.

1155
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: So in two years with Alex Smith at the Helm,

1156
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 1: he had over eighty catches over a thousand yards. He

1157
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 1: had four touchdowns in one year and eight in the

1158
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: other year. And then Patrick Mahomes showed up and just

1159
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 1: the roof went went into the sky. Um that ballooned

1160
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 1: to a hundred and three receptions over yards and ten

1161
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns last year. Only DeAndre Hopkins, Davante Adams, and Antonio

1162
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 1: Brown bested all of those numbers last season. He's on

1163
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: the best offense in the league with the best quarterback.

1164
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 1: He's basically the best player on that offense besides his quarterback.

1165
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 1: I don't know why we wouldn't go Travis Kelsey right

1166
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 1: here alright. So in pick nine, we it came down

1167
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 1: to Julio Jones or Travis Kelsey. We ultimately chose Luleo Jones. Gosh,

1168
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 1: you guys are always going against me. Pick ten, we

1169
01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: rolled forward Travis Kelsey and this time pitted him up

1170
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 1: against Odell Beckham. Scott, what's the case for Odell Beckham

1171
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 1: with pick ten? Okay? So Todd Munkin's aggressive downfield scheming

1172
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 1: that worked wonders in Tampa Bay has brought itself to

1173
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 1: uh to Cleveland with Odell Odell's near to Cleveland to

1174
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: Baker is the most accurate quarterback Odell Beckham Jr. Will

1175
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: Have ever been with by by quite a far stretch.

1176
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 1: And he's far better than Winston was when Todd Mankinn

1177
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 1: was using Winston and Fitzpatrick. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He's better.

1178
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: Baker's better than he's better than, he's better than might be.

1179
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 1: Loves to beer. Yeah. When he plays O. B J

1180
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 1: is a force. He's hit a hundred yards a hundred

1181
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 1: yards receiving in almost forty one percent of his games.

1182
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: He has scored in almost fifty three percent of his games,

1183
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 1: and He's done one or the other in over two

1184
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 1: thirds of his NFL games. Very consistent. The only downside

1185
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 1: is he's more He's missed more games than Sammy Watkins.

1186
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 1: They were drafted together. He does miss too much time.

1187
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 1: But when healthy, we love it. Uh So it picked ten.

1188
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 1: We we went Travis Kelsey versus Odell Beckham. We gotta

1189
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 1: pick Kelsey, right, we picked Odell Beckham. Let's roll Travis

1190
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 1: Kelsey to pick eleven. Where now he goes heads up

1191
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 1: against Juju Smith Schuster. Let's learn about him a little bit.

1192
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 1: Juju was terrific last year and could have been even

1193
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 1: He could be even better with Antonio Brown's one or

1194
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: sixty eight targets now available to him. Yes, Juju will

1195
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 1: face more and better coverage, but Antonio Brown made it working.

1196
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 1: You know, he problem gets more and better coverage and

1197
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 1: Juju ken to what's Juju ever done wrong his entire career?

1198
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,720
Speaker 1: Elite talent who has been good ever since he took

1199
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: the field middle of his his freshman year. How good

1200
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: is Juju Smith Schuster? Antonio Brown's ego couldn't take him

1201
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 1: being on the same team. That's why Antonio Brown is gone.

1202
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 1: He couldn't handle being one A and one B in

1203
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 1: the talent department on his own team. Juju is a

1204
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 1: top ten Fantasy wide receiver last year. He will be

1205
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 1: even better this year. So guys would pick eleven came

1206
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 1: down to Juju Smith Schuster Travis Kelsey. I mean those

1207
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 1: are pretty good Juju stats. I'd probably picked Juju. Here

1208
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 1: we picked, we finally took your guy, took Travis Kelsey

1209
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 1: pick eleven. All right, let's our final pick of the

1210
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 1: first round. As we look through all the difficult decisions

1211
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 1: you have to make, stinkhole and beyond. With pick number twelve,

1212
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 1: we rolled forward Juju Smith Schuster and we put him

1213
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:34,600
Speaker 1: up against Levy on Bell Scott. Yeah. So, Lavian Bell

1214
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 1: finished is a top three running back three years in

1215
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 1: a row before before taking last year off. He was

1216
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: a four hundred plus touch guy two years ago on

1217
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: paid Yeah, two years ago since he took a year

1218
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 1: off on pace for four d plus touches the year

1219
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 1: before that led the league in touches per game both seasons.

1220
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 1: In case, I just feel like that tempered, that offense

1221
01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:00,080
Speaker 1: is going to be better and up tempo. He's going

1222
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 1: to be a Bell cow. I think we're missing out here.

1223
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 1: I think I think he's got chance to be a

1224
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 1: top ten guy, and we're getting him at twelve. All right.

1225
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 1: She came down to Juju Smith Schuster with the final

1226
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: pick of the first round, or Levy on Bell. We

1227
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 1: chose Juju Smith Schust. Yeah, we go. We love in

1228
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 1: this room. We do where we are. Who doesn't like Juju? Yeah?

1229
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you if you don't like Juju? Such

1230
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 1: a fun name to it? Just is a is A

1231
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:28,560
Speaker 1: is A Give me the best place to pick in

1232
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 1: the first round where if you gotta, you gotta have

1233
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 1: a selection spot to pick from. Where do you want

1234
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 1: it to be? I want pick number three? Want pick

1235
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 1: three one of the big three running backs, Scott, I'm

1236
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:41,800
Speaker 1: gonna go against everything we just said, and I like

1237
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 1: pick four. In two recents what I got DeAndre Hopkins

1238
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 1: and came around and got Juju another one. DeAndre Hopkins

1239
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 1: came around, got kittled. I'm kind of like and pick

1240
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 1: four right now, I like the middle two. I'm with you.

1241
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 1: You get the you get your choice of elite receivers,

1242
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 1: and you come I could get one of the big

1243
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 1: three and still get one of those guys on the way.

1244
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I like being in the middle of

1245
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: the first round eight for eight today, you think so.

1246
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 1: Our our final topics are ahead. When we break down

1247
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 1: Do the Opposite drafting, it's all about finding value by

1248
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 1: zigging when everybody else is zagging it. As always, we

1249
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 1: end the show by revealing our favorite sleepers. It's Fantasy

1250
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 1: Football Weekly with fall it is Fantasy Football Weekly. In

1251
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 1: a few minutes, will break down the draft strategy that

1252
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:35,520
Speaker 1: we've been hammering for over a decade called Do the Opposite.

1253
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:40,560
Speaker 1: But first, every week, our hosts release our favorite sleepers.

1254
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 1: We give one sleeper a piece at the end of

1255
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:47,599
Speaker 1: every show. We've already given out Jalen Samuel's, Curtis Samuel,

1256
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 1: anybody else names sam Well. I mean, we could go

1257
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:56,799
Speaker 1: on Dante Moncrief, c J Anderson, Darren Waller, and Litavious Murray.

1258
01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 1: So basically for sleepers, we're just doing people that we

1259
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 1: think we'll really outperformed. Yes, so that could be a

1260
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 1: twelveth rounder who's going to perform like a sixth rounder,

1261
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 1: or could be a fifth rounder who you think he's

1262
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 1: gonna perform like a second rounder. So anybody who's gonna

1263
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 1: dramatically outperform their average draft position. Is a candidate for

1264
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:19,559
Speaker 1: what we call sleeper. The term sleeper, Yeah, alright, Matt,

1265
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 1: who is your sleeper this week? Mine is ugly and

1266
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,600
Speaker 1: it's a guy you don't have to pick until the

1267
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 1: final round of just about every draft. And I alluded

1268
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:33,479
Speaker 1: to this earlier in the program. It's a Cincinnati Bengal

1269
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:36,839
Speaker 1: and it's a Cincinnati Bengal who has had some success

1270
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,760
Speaker 1: in the past. His name is Tyler Eiffert. I hope

1271
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 1: you've heard of him. He has missed a whopping fifty

1272
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:46,759
Speaker 1: four games in the last five seasons and only played

1273
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 1: in twenty eight in that time span. But during that

1274
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: time he's had nineteen touchdowns. That's well over half a

1275
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 1: touchdown per game, which had great number for a title.

1276
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:58,679
Speaker 1: That is really good. And let's review how he's gotten

1277
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:02,600
Speaker 1: dinged up a little bit. He was hit after a

1278
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:05,680
Speaker 1: catch and dislocated his right elbow. Missed the rest of

1279
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 1: the season. Noticed it's a contact injury. Right game. He

1280
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:15,559
Speaker 1: played thirteen games. He missed two games from the next

1281
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 1: singer after and after the season, he played in the

1282
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:24,680
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl and tore a ligament in his ankle and

1283
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:28,599
Speaker 1: missed the first six games of missed four more games

1284
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:33,639
Speaker 1: in sixteen after getting hit in the back, then had

1285
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 1: back surgery after getting hit again in the back in

1286
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: the first game of seen. I can't believe Tyler Ifford

1287
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 1: hasn't retired. Then we're not done. Fractured ankle from a

1288
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 1: hit that caused him to miss twelve games last year. Now,

1289
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: notice none of these are the soft tissue recurring injuries

1290
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 1: like Todd Gurley's arthritick knees, and Todd Gurley is going

1291
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 1: in the second round. Uh Andy Dalton is playing for

1292
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 1: his rear right now. This could be This could be

1293
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,559
Speaker 1: the end of his run in Cincinnati. A J. Green

1294
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:07,160
Speaker 1: is missing for probably the first two months of the season.

1295
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:11,080
Speaker 1: Besides Tyler Boyd, who else is he going to throw too?

1296
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 1: In that offense? If you're looking red zone, you might

1297
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 1: be looking Tyler effort. And this is the last pick

1298
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 1: of the draft kind of dart throw. So if he

1299
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 1: gets hurt in week two, you drop him and you

1300
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. I'll give you the last two

1301
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:27,559
Speaker 1: picks of your draft, Chris Herndon and Tyler. I put

1302
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 1: him together. Herndon suspended for a month. Tyler Eiffort hopefully

1303
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 1: can stay healthy for just four damn games. That's all

1304
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 1: you need. That's all I need, exactly, all right, Scott,

1305
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 1: who is your sleeper list? Oh? I know who it is.

1306
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 1: Westbrook can take him the road, I understand, man. I went,

1307
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:49,680
Speaker 1: You're never gonna live that one down. For this one,

1308
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 1: I went more in the Curtis Samuel range where you

1309
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:55,759
Speaker 1: guys did that a few weeks ago. And it's Robbie Anderson.

1310
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: He had at least seven targets and seven of the

1311
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:01,760
Speaker 1: last eight games last year. He's he really connected with

1312
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:03,919
Speaker 1: Donald at the end of last year, and it's already

1313
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 1: showing in the preseason as well. I already said, I

1314
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 1: believe this this offense is gonna be more up tempo

1315
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:11,800
Speaker 1: Sam Donald in the last month of last year. Did

1316
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:16,559
Speaker 1: you realize in QBR he was quarterback one number one

1317
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 1: Donald in the month of December last year? No? Wa, yep, Like,

1318
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 1: how broken is QB are that? That's a questions? All right,

1319
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:27,799
Speaker 1: this might be your last chance to buy Sam Donald

1320
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 1: in the I'm I'm serious, I'm moved after this show

1321
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 1: and all your Sam Donald love, I'm moving him up

1322
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:36,840
Speaker 1: my sheet. Yeah, Robbie and Robbie Anderson the main beneficiary.

1323
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:39,320
Speaker 1: He in the last four weeks he averaged eighty four

1324
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 1: yards per game and scored three touchdowns. At the end

1325
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:44,720
Speaker 1: of last season, it's it's a good sign for what

1326
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 1: we're going to see this season. I he's currently going

1327
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 1: off the board at wide receiver thirty one. I have

1328
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 1: him ranked about ten spots higher than that. So that's

1329
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 1: why he's my sleeper, right, I have deeper sleepers like

1330
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 1: but I'll go with him this week. You guys know

1331
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna say already, because I think in the

1332
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:04,720
Speaker 1: three preseason shows we've had, I've pounded the desk for

1333
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,760
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber in all three. This will make it. I

1334
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:09,600
Speaker 1: don't know if you pounded the desk, you might have

1335
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 1: gently rubbed the desk for Peyton Barber. Some of that.

1336
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 1: I know. Peyton Barber didn't do it anything last year.

1337
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:17,880
Speaker 1: I was last year that was with a different now

1338
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 1: dismissed coach, and now he gets Bruce Arians in. Arians

1339
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 1: is an offensive genius and as far as I'm concerned,

1340
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 1: in the past three seasons then which he's coach, he

1341
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:28,800
Speaker 1: was last year off twice he was top ten in

1342
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 1: yards and points scored. We are going to see a

1343
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:34,120
Speaker 1: far better offense. And part of the reason I love

1344
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber is this intangible Bruce Arians shows up. He's

1345
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: got all this great offensive pedigree, great offensive mind. He

1346
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 1: watches all sixteen games of tape, walks away saying, I

1347
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 1: don't need to change anything. I got my guy. I

1348
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 1: got Peyton Barber. Yeah, and then he went and got

1349
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 1: Andrea Ellen. Andrea Allington is is a depth and cut candidate.

1350
01:13:56,560 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 1: Hasn't They did not drive, they did not stop. Nobody

1351
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:06,920
Speaker 1: who thinks Andre Ellington's playing a meaningful role in this offense. Nobody.

1352
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:10,960
Speaker 1: They didn't draft a running back in Tampa. They didn't

1353
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:14,800
Speaker 1: put a draft pick against it. And he's understand, I'm

1354
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 1: telling you there's this is Peyton Barber's job. Now. They're

1355
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 1: trying to puff up Jones, not Ronald. Uh. Yeah, they're

1356
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:26,839
Speaker 1: trying to puff up Ronald Jones. There's just a confidence

1357
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 1: boosting tactic, is all it is. That they're working on

1358
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:32,840
Speaker 1: his confidence. That's all it is. Because the guy stinks. Oh,

1359
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 1: they're trying to see if they can get Melvin Gordon

1360
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:38,280
Speaker 1: for Ronald Jones. That's what they're trying to do. Maybe, um,

1361
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber is a quality back. I'm telling you, I

1362
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 1: watched a lot of Peyton Barber. He is a good

1363
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 1: back in an a sending offense, and he's going to

1364
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 1: be far better than his current ADP of one hundred

1365
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:55,040
Speaker 1: thirty nine. You should take him before that even one eight.

1366
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber my sleeper for this week. Guys. We have

1367
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:05,040
Speaker 1: the overarching drafting philosophy on this show, a philosophy that

1368
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: might lead you to draft Peyton Barber. That's right, and

1369
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:11,680
Speaker 1: people click off the radios, turn off the podcast. Um,

1370
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 1: it's called Do the Opposite. It's named after the classic

1371
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 1: Seinfeld episode because I named it Do the Opposite so

1372
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:23,560
Speaker 1: long ago that Seinfeld was really relevant back then. It

1373
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 1: was back when Seinfeld was on the air almost in

1374
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:31,400
Speaker 1: which George Costanza decided that he that his life was

1375
01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:34,480
Speaker 1: going so wrong, he would do the opposite of everything

1376
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:37,560
Speaker 1: his instincts told him to do. And sure enough, of

1377
01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 1: the course of that episode, he got a girlfriend, he

1378
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:41,560
Speaker 1: got hired by the Yankees, and he moved out of

1379
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:45,559
Speaker 1: his parents basement. The premise of the do the Opposite

1380
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 1: drafting strategy is that we avoid running backs. Long before

1381
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:52,560
Speaker 1: there was a zero RB idea running back to the

1382
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:56,280
Speaker 1: most volatile position. They get hurt. They suffer when their

1383
01:15:56,360 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 1: quarterback is bad, they suffer when their defense is bad.

1384
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:02,800
Speaker 1: In the game script goes against running the ball. They

1385
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:05,400
Speaker 1: running back suddenly get old and they suddenly stink. They

1386
01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 1: were okay last year, and now they've just hit the

1387
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 1: wall at years old. Off on, it's over. The cliff

1388
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 1: can come quickly and surprise you. Yes you can. On

1389
01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 1: that note of running backs gain hurt hurt. An awesome

1390
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:19,000
Speaker 1: stat the other day from Adam as there alright, over

1391
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 1: the last three years, the top twelve running backs in

1392
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:25,040
Speaker 1: ADP slowdown. Over the last three years, the top twelve

1393
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:29,200
Speaker 1: ADP running backs missed a hundred and twelve games due

1394
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 1: to injury. That feels like a lot. Over the last

1395
01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 1: same three years, the same top twelve a DP wide

1396
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:41,519
Speaker 1: receivers missed sixty six so half less basically half yea.

1397
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:43,720
Speaker 1: That goes to tell you this is in they do

1398
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:47,439
Speaker 1: the opposite drafting format. We pick wide receivers and tight ends,

1399
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:51,120
Speaker 1: especially with the first three or four rounds of our drafts,

1400
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 1: because they are statistically twice as reliable. And the other

1401
01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:00,400
Speaker 1: part of it is in a typical year, half of

1402
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 1: the top ten Ish running backs will come from the

1403
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 1: middle rounds or later. It's just the volatility of the

1404
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:09,719
Speaker 1: position and guys that emerge that you can't see coming.

1405
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:13,800
Speaker 1: Perfect example last year Philip Lindsay. But there was also

1406
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: James Conner whose ADP was won sixty, James White, whose

1407
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 1: ADP at this time last year d eighteen. Aaron Jones

1408
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 1: is going really late last year. That's a good Another

1409
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:27,120
Speaker 1: good one, uh Tore Cohen's ADP was ninety three. Nick

1410
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,639
Speaker 1: Chubb's ADP was a hundred thirty one at this time

1411
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:32,880
Speaker 1: last year. Chris Carson's ADP was one hundred and three

1412
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 1: at this time last year. These are all guys. What's

1413
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:41,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about it? Maybe these are that's

1414
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:44,280
Speaker 1: seven guys that filled out your top fourteen running backs

1415
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:46,599
Speaker 1: who are available in in the in the middle rounds

1416
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:49,880
Speaker 1: or later. You can find help at running back, so

1417
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 1: you take the wide receivers early, you take the tight

1418
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 1: ends early, and then you just pound the running back

1419
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:58,519
Speaker 1: position in the middle of your draft and you just

1420
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:01,240
Speaker 1: take a bunch of guys wanted over quality. It is,

1421
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 1: it has quantity over quality, and at the end of

1422
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 1: your draft, you always feel like, oh my running backs,

1423
01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:09,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm nervous, you know, I don't. I

1424
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:11,680
Speaker 1: don't feel great because, you know, because you don't have

1425
01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:14,200
Speaker 1: Alvin Camarin, you don't have se Von Barkley, and you

1426
01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:16,800
Speaker 1: you know, you don't have Dalvin Cook and and you're like,

1427
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 1: Auntie's I gotta make do with, you know, these middle

1428
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 1: tier guys the and as it turns out, some of

1429
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 1: those picks are gonna work, and some of those picks

1430
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 1: are gonna turn out to be top ten running backs.

1431
01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:31,920
Speaker 1: Not to mention they some they pop up streamable wise.

1432
01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:34,920
Speaker 1: We were talking about Alfred Blue earlier. Sometimes they're just

1433
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: there's an injury and the backup out of nowhere comes

1434
01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:40,880
Speaker 1: up like a Chris Ivory or you know two years

1435
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:43,519
Speaker 1: ago and Alfred Blue. They just pop out of nowhere

1436
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:46,360
Speaker 1: and you can start them for one week. You're running

1437
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 1: back disappointments from the first three rounds of last year

1438
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:52,920
Speaker 1: on Bell and it was actually a better year than

1439
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 1: most Laby on Bell, Jordan Howard. It's hard to these

1440
01:18:57,080 --> 01:18:59,360
Speaker 1: guys had a top three Route eight last year. Okay

1441
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:04,280
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell, Jordan Howard, Lashawn McCoy, Kenyan, Drake Leonard

1442
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:06,519
Speaker 1: four Nette and then at the end of the year,

1443
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:08,759
Speaker 1: by the way, you got a bandoned during the playoffs

1444
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 1: by Kareem Hunt, Melvin Gordon, and Todd Gurley. Um, there's

1445
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:15,240
Speaker 1: just so much risk there, and that wasn't a good

1446
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:19,760
Speaker 1: year for running backs injury wise compared to most. Meanwhile,

1447
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 1: listen to the wide receivers from last year. The top

1448
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:30,759
Speaker 1: ten performing wide receivers last season were Tyreek Hill, Antonio Brown,

1449
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:35,400
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, DeAndre Hopkins, Julio Jones, Michael Thomas, Adam Felan,

1450
01:19:35,439 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, Judy Smith, Schuster, and Stefon Diggs. Was there

1451
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:42,440
Speaker 1: are there were there any surprise names in that None

1452
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 1: and there in the first, second, third round. For the

1453
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:48,160
Speaker 1: most part, you could have walked out of your draft

1454
01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:51,799
Speaker 1: with three of those guys and they all performed great. Meanwhile,

1455
01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:54,599
Speaker 1: was we just told you these running backs? James Connor,

1456
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:57,839
Speaker 1: James White, tere co On, Philip Lindsay, Nick Chubb, Chris Carson.

1457
01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: These were all guys that were surprises that nobody saw coming.

1458
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen with wide receivers. The good receivers were

1459
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:09,439
Speaker 1: perform well almost every year. The only disappointers in the

1460
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:12,680
Speaker 1: top three rounds last year, and one guy is only

1461
01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 1: was the last pick of the third round, Odell Beckham

1462
01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:19,880
Speaker 1: because he missed he missed December, and Jarvis Landry as

1463
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:22,720
Speaker 1: the last pick of the third round by ADP. Everybody

1464
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 1: else performed among wide receivers. At tight end only Gronk

1465
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:30,639
Speaker 1: disappointed his was due to injury. Travis Kelsey was better

1466
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:33,240
Speaker 1: than his late second round ADP of last year, and

1467
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:35,519
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz was better than his third round ADP of

1468
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:39,719
Speaker 1: last year. Telling you this is do the opposite, guys,

1469
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:42,800
Speaker 1: this is where it's at. There's there's so there's so

1470
01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:46,320
Speaker 1: many ways to win when you do the opposite. So

1471
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 1: if you were to build a team, would do the

1472
01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 1: opposite using this ADP that I'm handing you right now.

1473
01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:55,880
Speaker 1: Thank you. Let's say your middle of the first round.

1474
01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:57,920
Speaker 1: Where where are you going? How are you building this team?

1475
01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:00,120
Speaker 1: It's a great question. So well, let's assume that we're

1476
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 1: gonna take somebody like DeAndre Hopkins or Davante Adams in

1477
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:05,840
Speaker 1: the first round. Okay, that makes sense, all right, Michael

1478
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:08,599
Speaker 1: Thomas Julio jo own somebody like that, one of those. Okay,

1479
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:11,599
Speaker 1: So that's our that's our first round. I'll put Hopkins

1480
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:15,040
Speaker 1: as your first DeAndre Hopkins as our first pick. Second

1481
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:17,920
Speaker 1: round comes back to us. We would take Travis Kelsey

1482
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 1: in the middle of the first round. If he's not available,

1483
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 1: maybe it's Mike Evans. But let's put Travis Kelsey as

1484
01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 1: the middle middle middle in the middle of a second

1485
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:27,600
Speaker 1: I I think you should go away sooner in that.

1486
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:30,600
Speaker 1: But yesn be a gift. But let's but let's go

1487
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 1: tight end. Let's take the best possible title and the

1488
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:35,880
Speaker 1: guy that you know we want, we want anybody. Patrick

1489
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 1: Mahomes is throwing too that. Let's advance the third round.

1490
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:42,639
Speaker 1: I can take Adam Feeling Dead middle of the third round.

1491
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:46,639
Speaker 1: What a great opportunity, very very very good player. Wide

1492
01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:49,360
Speaker 1: receiver one through eight weeks. Yeah, the best wide receiver

1493
01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:52,040
Speaker 1: in the first half of last year, highest scoring wide

1494
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 1: receiver already made a circus catch in the preseason. Um.

1495
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:59,559
Speaker 1: And if for some reason I did not get um

1496
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:02,320
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey in the second round, I could flip him

1497
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:04,040
Speaker 1: for George Kettle. I can get George Kettle in the

1498
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:06,840
Speaker 1: third round if I wanted to. So there's my first three.

1499
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:09,880
Speaker 1: You don't even have to go running back in the

1500
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:12,639
Speaker 1: fourth round because you could flex or start a third

1501
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver if you wanted to. And if you want

1502
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 1: to do that, you could be You could look at

1503
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:19,360
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks as an example, or Robert Woods is high

1504
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:22,400
Speaker 1: performing wide receivers that you could take in those spots.

1505
01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:24,800
Speaker 1: All right, So right now we're through four rounds. You've

1506
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:30,720
Speaker 1: got Hopkins, deel In Cooks, and Travis Kelsey's and now

1507
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:33,479
Speaker 1: is the time we started looking at running back. So

1508
01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:35,679
Speaker 1: where are you taking? Chris Carson is gonna be available

1509
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:37,880
Speaker 1: for me in the fifth round? Alright? Alright, So I've

1510
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:39,880
Speaker 1: got the starting running back for the Seahawks in the

1511
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:42,640
Speaker 1: fifth round. Then we go to the sixth round, and

1512
01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:44,800
Speaker 1: now I'm going to take a slew running backs in

1513
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:48,040
Speaker 1: your next several picks running backs I could take in

1514
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:51,479
Speaker 1: the sixth round that could make sense. I'll take Lamar Miller.

1515
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: I don't love him, but he's got a six round

1516
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:54,800
Speaker 1: ADP and he's the starting running back in a high

1517
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:59,680
Speaker 1: functioning offense. Seventh round, another one running back option, Darryl Henderson.

1518
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 1: I've got a guy who's in a time share with

1519
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:05,080
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley and it was explosive in college, and he

1520
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 1: plays for another high functioning offense. Round eight, I might

1521
01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:13,680
Speaker 1: a running back again after that, and try let's go

1522
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 1: with Royce Freeman as a possibility. And I could even

1523
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 1: have handcuffed him if I really wanted to, potentially to

1524
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:22,320
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay, but I don't like handcuffs. So Royce Freeman,

1525
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:24,880
Speaker 1: who's got an eighth round a DP if I could

1526
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 1: even go beyond that? And but I think with four

1527
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,320
Speaker 1: straight picks at running back, one or two of those

1528
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 1: guys are gonna pop, and maybe somebody even later that.

1529
01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:33,400
Speaker 1: So now take a quarterback and we got a roster

1530
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:35,400
Speaker 1: for you. Oh yeah, good point, all right. So now

1531
01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:38,920
Speaker 1: it's round nine. Looking at the quarterbacks, I like, I

1532
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:41,560
Speaker 1: like Jared Goff, just fine. Let's take Jared Goff or

1533
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:44,040
Speaker 1: Cam Newton or Russell Wilson, all of whom, all of

1534
01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:45,920
Speaker 1: whom are going right there. So does how does? How

1535
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:48,760
Speaker 1: does my starting lineup look? Your roster construction looks like this.

1536
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:51,839
Speaker 1: You have Jared Goff at quarterback, you have Chris Carson

1537
01:23:51,960 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 1: and Lamar Miller as you're starting running backs, Hopkins, thel

1538
01:23:56,040 --> 01:24:00,280
Speaker 1: and Cooks. Considering it's a three wide receiver, well two,

1539
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:04,880
Speaker 1: and Travis Kelsey is your tight end that is with

1540
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:08,799
Speaker 1: a bench of Henderson and Royce Freeman. That is awesome, awesome,

1541
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:13,040
Speaker 1: I love that team. That's how you do the opposite, folks,

1542
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:16,320
Speaker 1: your opposite draft right there and then you're you're squared

1543
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:19,320
Speaker 1: away right right off to back. So do the opposite.

1544
01:24:19,439 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 1: Don't feel like you've compelled to do what everybody else

1545
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:24,400
Speaker 1: does and take running backs early. You ken sloft that position.

1546
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:29,320
Speaker 1: Here's your risk. Your risk pyramid should be the fattest

1547
01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:33,080
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the draft. Your your most valuable

1548
01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:35,360
Speaker 1: picks at the top of your draft should have the

1549
01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:38,800
Speaker 1: least risk. You should be pouring your risk into the

1550
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:42,240
Speaker 1: bottom of your draft, not the top. Do you want

1551
01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:45,639
Speaker 1: the high floor at the top of your pyramid? Something

1552
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:49,000
Speaker 1: like I want to talk about as we as we

1553
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 1: get closer to the end of the show. The biggest

1554
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 1: mistakes that fantasy players make, especially this time of year.

1555
01:24:56,320 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 1: Number one, they replay last season. Can't get past what

1556
01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:04,439
Speaker 1: happened last year. I listened to a handful of other

1557
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 1: fantasy podcasts and I'm guilty of this as well. Because

1558
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:09,400
Speaker 1: we we have to cite stats in these preseason shows.

1559
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:12,840
Speaker 1: It's the easiest thing to do just to replay last

1560
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 1: year it's it's it's so easy, and it's such low

1561
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:18,200
Speaker 1: hanging fruit. If if you have the ability to look

1562
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 1: at a bigger sample size, go two or three years

1563
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 1: and also look at the offensive coordinator, look at the

1564
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:27,759
Speaker 1: coaching staff, look at those trends, especially if things have changed.

1565
01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:30,920
Speaker 1: Very valid point is you've you've got to figure out

1566
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 1: you know, I can tell you, hey, everything's gonna be

1567
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:35,960
Speaker 1: different this year, and of course everybody'd agree that it's

1568
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 1: gonna be a totally different league, absolutely, But then when

1569
01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:42,160
Speaker 1: push comes to shove, everybody just reflection what happened last

1570
01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: year and they can't get past it. They can't just

1571
01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:48,000
Speaker 1: envision a world that's terribly different than the one that

1572
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:50,600
Speaker 1: they just saw. And we all know it's going to

1573
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 1: be terribly different than the one that you just saw.

1574
01:25:54,520 --> 01:26:02,719
Speaker 1: Another mistake drafting a quarterback before round ten? What about

1575
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:05,760
Speaker 1: my my upside dart throw there? Like, if you're looking

1576
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:08,719
Speaker 1: for a league winner kind of a guy, and knowing

1577
01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:11,679
Speaker 1: that you can get a second quarterback later, what about

1578
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:14,800
Speaker 1: to me, the only quarterback I'll reach for it is

1579
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:20,160
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes because that's so much fun. Well, Patrick Mahomes

1580
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 1: has got a third round ADP right, yes, no, yeah.

1581
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:29,160
Speaker 1: Third third round a DP. Third part of fantasy football

1582
01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:33,000
Speaker 1: should be fun. Patrick Mahomes goes back to pass. You

1583
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:36,920
Speaker 1: see him uncork this deep sixty yard pass when it's

1584
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 1: at its apex. You are jumping out of your sofa

1585
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:42,600
Speaker 1: to see what's going to happen. At the end of

1586
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:45,759
Speaker 1: that pass. He might literally throw it out of Arrowhead Stadium.

1587
01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 1: He might literally throw it out of the stadium. I

1588
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:51,160
Speaker 1: want a piece of Patrick Mahomes. He's the only guy

1589
01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 1: that I will consider taking before round ten among all quarterbacks. Otherwise,

1590
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:57,719
Speaker 1: you can sluff that position and just load up everywhere

1591
01:26:57,760 --> 01:26:59,880
Speaker 1: else and you'll still get a good quarterback in the

1592
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:02,360
Speaker 1: tenth round. That's part of what it's part of the

1593
01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:04,960
Speaker 1: one of the biggest mistakes people are making. All right, guys,

1594
01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:07,880
Speaker 1: great job, Scott Fish, Matt Harrison, It's been a ton
