Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from my Heart Radio,
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation,
Speaker 1: and whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show.
Speaker 1: Now here's your host. Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly on
Speaker 1: Paul Chargi and my co host today of Brian Johnson
Speaker 1: and Matt Harrison. That means we've got sort of the
Speaker 1: full complement of brains on this show. And we found
Speaker 1: out Diego is the guy who does the intro. Thanks Diego,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Dean. So are you saying if we go
Speaker 1: combine our brains into one, we have one collective super brain.
Speaker 1: We've got two primary topics for the show today, Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. First is wide receiver quarterback combos that actually
Speaker 1: makes sense based on the adp that you'd actually could execute.
Speaker 1: I mean, anybody we could sit here and say we'll
Speaker 1: go get Pat Mahomes and Tyree Kill because they're gonna
Speaker 1: be really good. Well obviously they're going to be really good,
Speaker 1: but there's an opportunity to cost one round pick on
Speaker 1: those two or a second or third round pick at best, right,
Speaker 1: So maybe, So that's the you know there's an opportunity
Speaker 1: cost that so as balanced by average draft position. Who
Speaker 1: are the quarterbacks and wide receiver combos that you could
Speaker 1: actually pull off? And then secondarily guys I am calling
Speaker 1: double digit darts. These are guys from round ten or higher.
Speaker 1: That's the double triple ds. Yeah, it's like diners, drive
Speaker 1: ins and dives a little bit. But now here's the catch.
Speaker 1: I don't want any of these guys to simply be
Speaker 1: guys who will just outperform their ADP. I don't want
Speaker 1: a tenth rounder who could perform like an eighth rounder
Speaker 1: the to be a double digit dart, a triple d.
Speaker 1: These guys must be guys that with so breaks can
Speaker 1: perform like a tight end one wide receiver can perform,
Speaker 1: and not an injury break either. Right. I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear Tony Pollard here, even I'm fascinated by Tony
Speaker 1: Pollard because Ezekie allowed has to go down for him.
Speaker 1: Injuries don't count because that's random. You can't count on that.
Speaker 1: I want guys who don't need an injury break to
Speaker 1: turn into a from a turn their double digit draft
Speaker 1: location into somebody it's going to go back and go
Speaker 1: well that guy was a third rounder. This seems like
Speaker 1: a podcast where you should probably get out to your
Speaker 1: pen and paper and start writing down names. Well, it's
Speaker 1: probably good idea for listeners. No, you know what's coming.
Speaker 1: All right, let's start with the quarterback wide receiver combos
Speaker 1: that actually makes sense based on their a DP. Brian,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have you go first. Tell me your combo
Speaker 1: players where you need to take them in the draft.
Speaker 1: Who which teammates are you teaming up? I love this
Speaker 1: topic and Matt will remember this. Going back to the
Speaker 1: DFS days, I called us the batman in Robbins scenario
Speaker 1: with the quarterback being the batman in the wide receiver
Speaker 1: the robin um. But I went with the Detroit Lions
Speaker 1: and UH with Matt Stafford and Kenny Golladay. And I'll
Speaker 1: start with Kenny Golladay because he's the more expensive of
Speaker 1: the two players. When it comes to a DP. He's
Speaker 1: going very late second right now around the eleven pick
Speaker 1: in the second round at wide receiver number eight. Um
Speaker 1: way too low, mind you. And I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: Last year Kenny Galladay led all wide receivers with eleven touchdowns.
Speaker 1: He was twenty onet in targets with a hundred and sixteen.
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder saw more targets than Kenny Golladay last season,
Speaker 1: and Jamison Crowder scored two times. And yeah, and he
Speaker 1: was criminally under used. And we'll get to Stafford in
Speaker 1: a second. But Golladay had Stafford for half the season
Speaker 1: and then it was David Bloch and uh, I'm already
Speaker 1: blanking on the other Scrubs name that got some running quarterback, Drisco,
Speaker 1: Jeff Driscoll, thank you very much. So Yeah, Golladay obviously
Speaker 1: had a in fire year quarterbacks in the second half
Speaker 1: of the season, but let's focus on the whole season.
Speaker 1: Sixty five receptions could have been higher with better quarterbacking.
Speaker 1: Fifty two of those were for first downs. That is
Speaker 1: a uber product uber productivity. Uh. He was tied for
Speaker 1: the lead and receptions of twenty plus yards with Stephen Diggs,
Speaker 1: both at sixteen and by the way, Diggs led the
Speaker 1: NFL on receptions on yards on long passes of twenty
Speaker 1: plus yards, say it again, on receptions of twenty plus yards,
Speaker 1: Diggs had the most yards six thirty five on those receptions.
Speaker 1: Gala Day was second was six eight. The next guy
Speaker 1: was a Marie Cooper with five hundred and three. That
Speaker 1: is a major disparity there. So Golladay, I mean, if
Speaker 1: we're not talking pairing with the quarterback, I'm loving golladagg
Speaker 1: as the wide receiver eight right now. He's got top five,
Speaker 1: top three potential going into this season. Now over to Stafford,
Speaker 1: who's going off the board a quarterback fourteen in the
Speaker 1: early tenth round. Like I said, only played eight games
Speaker 1: last year before landing on i R. Before he was hurt.
Speaker 1: He was on pace for a career best in the
Speaker 1: yards per attempt, touchdown percentage, passer rating, and he was
Speaker 1: leading the entire league in passing yards per game at
Speaker 1: the site and twelve before getting hurt. That would have
Speaker 1: put him at five thousand yards on the season if
Speaker 1: he played the whole year. That's crazy. And now when
Speaker 1: we're doing this exercise, one of the guy, one of
Speaker 1: the combos I was thinking of doing was Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: and Davante Adams. Davante Adams clearly the target hog, but
Speaker 1: that's it for Rogers. I know that's the problem. So
Speaker 1: that's not an ideal pairing. Stafford's got Marvin Jones, who
Speaker 1: was second in touchdowns inside the ten yard line last
Speaker 1: year with five, second to Kenny Golladay who had six,
Speaker 1: and t J. Hockenson might be might be good. Uh.
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift certainly a boon in the passing game from
Speaker 1: a running back perspective. So Matthew Stafford and you know,
Speaker 1: the Bears aren't that tough against the past. The Vikings
Speaker 1: certainly aren't that tough against the past anymore. So it's
Speaker 1: a it's a there's a favorable schedule for Detroit. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna shut up now, and that's my parents. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's your pairing. We'll go with. And honestly, I don't
Speaker 1: I don't have any qualms with all that. I think
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of there's a lot of good
Speaker 1: things that there's a lot of good reasons to think
Speaker 1: that those things. We know Kenny goll Day is great,
Speaker 1: And all I need to do is Matthew Stafford to
Speaker 1: not get hurt. He's had top ten finishes about half
Speaker 1: of the full seasons he's played in the last seven
Speaker 1: or eight years. He has that potential for sure. And
Speaker 1: the defense not as not gonna be as good in Detroit.
Speaker 1: I think I think they'll be chasing more points than usual.
Speaker 1: All right, Matt, you're up next your quarterback wide receiver combo.
Speaker 1: That makes sense based on a DP. Who are they
Speaker 1: and where do I have to take him? Now? We
Speaker 1: just heard Brian's and I know what yours is. Yes,
Speaker 1: and I'm slumming it here. Okay, that's fine that there's
Speaker 1: no I like that. I guess quarterback. I mean, Brian
Speaker 1: likes my quarterback. I like my quarterback. Um My, two guys.
Speaker 1: The first guy you have to draft in the fifth round.
Speaker 1: That's not bad. That's not bad. Uh. Pick fifty six
Speaker 1: wide receiver twenty four. That's d J CHARKA Chark is
Speaker 1: going after Calvin Ridley, DK Metcalf, Robert Woods, d J Moore,
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, all of which he finished higher in Fantasy
Speaker 1: points year. He finished his wide receiver sixteen. And nothing
Speaker 1: in that offense has gotten significantly worse. Uh. And plus
Speaker 1: they added Laviska Chennault, who should take a little bit
Speaker 1: of pressure off him. He's a he's a decent wide
Speaker 1: receiver two in that offense, and their defense has lost
Speaker 1: some significant names and they should be playing in Brian,
Speaker 1: are you ready guard gardenage time? Gardenage time a lot
Speaker 1: a lot this year, of course, which brings me to
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, who's a sixteen rounder quarterback pick in your draft.
Speaker 1: Seven multi touchdown games in fourteen played and not all
Speaker 1: of his fourteen games were starts. Last year he topped
Speaker 1: they weren't. You know, they tried Nick Foles in Week one,
Speaker 1: he got knocked out. Then they brought Nick Foles back in.
Speaker 1: Foles was worse than Minshew. Yeah, so he got benched
Speaker 1: for Minshew. Keep in mind, and you know Brian has
Speaker 1: made these points on previous shows. You know, Nick Foles,
Speaker 1: who they were paying, you know, it's in the middle
Speaker 1: of a fifty million dollar contract, wasn't good enough. He
Speaker 1: definitely was. Uh Minshew top twenty five rushing yards and
Speaker 1: eight of his games. That's great. A little gravy on
Speaker 1: top there. And according to Pro Football Focus, Minshew had
Speaker 1: the second most rushing yards on pure scrambles in the
Speaker 1: league last year. I like that, three fifty rushing yards.
Speaker 1: I bet Josh Allen was first. No, it was only
Speaker 1: eight yards behind Lamar Jackson. Oh, come on, Lamar jack Well,
Speaker 1: he's you said, you said pure you know, so I
Speaker 1: was taking out all of Lamar's designed runs, twenty one
Speaker 1: touchdown passes, only six picks. He was he was efficient.
Speaker 1: Um And if you extrapolate Minshew's fourteen games to sixteen games,
Speaker 1: which is not that much of an extrapolation, really, that's
Speaker 1: not bad. His numbers are Kyler Murray's numbers from last year,
Speaker 1: almost exactly. And Kyler Murray, by the way, is it's
Speaker 1: it's sometimes four. Yes, it's about thirty passing yards about
Speaker 1: the same rushing yards he's Kyler Murray from last year.
Speaker 1: They were both rookies last year, both entering their second season.
Speaker 1: So also they get the new coordinator, Jay Gruden, who
Speaker 1: unlocked some of the best years of Kirk Cousins. Plus
Speaker 1: there's nobody chasing him, Mike Glennan, are you afraid of
Speaker 1: him taking Gardner Minshew's job? How about Joshua Dobbs who
Speaker 1: hasn't seen the fields. Nobody's taking Gardner Minshew's. And in
Speaker 1: the fact that they didn't go out and draft somebody
Speaker 1: or put a you know, make a significant move in
Speaker 1: free agency to back up that quarterback position tells me
Speaker 1: they believe in Gardner Minshew. So Chark is a legit
Speaker 1: wide receiver to teetering on wide receiver one number is
Speaker 1: entering his third year and Gardner minshew, I think he's
Speaker 1: just he's a lock to be a good quarterback this year.
Speaker 1: He's he's going to outperform his a DPS. He could
Speaker 1: be a starter, no better backup quarterback in fantasy football.
Speaker 1: In my opinion based on his it's yeah a quarter
Speaker 1: slam dun slam duncan jam that. I mean, he's not
Speaker 1: getting drafted and a lot of lots of drafts not
Speaker 1: getting drafted at all. All right, let's go to my
Speaker 1: quarterback wide receiver combo that actually makes sense with a DP,
Speaker 1: and that is, wait, are you saying that mine didn't do?
Speaker 1: Yours did? Yours did well the way I said it
Speaker 1: came out Baker Bayfield to Odell Beckham. So let's talk
Speaker 1: about their ADP first, and while you can actually execute this.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I love to zig when everybody
Speaker 1: else is zagging, and fantasy football, I also like to
Speaker 1: zag when everybody else is zigging in fantasy football. They
Speaker 1: both both work. You know, if this was a two
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen podcast, everybody'd be like, oh, that's just chucky.
Speaker 1: Everybody exactly at this time Last year, everybody wanted a
Speaker 1: piece of the Browns. They all got burned except for
Speaker 1: the Nick Chubb owners. And now this year, nobody wants
Speaker 1: the Browns, and I'm buying baby post type sleeper. It
Speaker 1: is the post hype sleeper. So let's begin with Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield his average draft position. Last year, he was quarterback
Speaker 1: six off the board last year. This year he's quarterback
Speaker 1: fourteen in round ten. All right, that's Baker Mayfield. Then
Speaker 1: the Oldell Beckham side. Last year he was wide receiver five,
Speaker 1: going off at the late first round, early second round.
Speaker 1: Two years ago, he was the first overall picking. This year,
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham has slumped to wide receiver twenty in round five.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna execute my Baker Mayfield Odell Beckham in
Speaker 1: rounds five and rounds ten, and I've got this hook up.
Speaker 1: So so many reasons to believe the Browns are gonna
Speaker 1: be a vastly improved offense, a massively improved offensive line
Speaker 1: featuring first round picked Jedderick Wills, and the best tackle
Speaker 1: in free agency, Jack Conklin, who got signed by the Browns.
Speaker 1: Remember Jack Conkerland just got done blocking for Derrick Henry's
Speaker 1: Monster Season is a really good blocker. This is a
Speaker 1: They also get a massive upgrading coaching from Freddie Kitch
Speaker 1: into Kevin Stefanski. Stefanski just unlocked Kirk Cousins best year
Speaker 1: of his career. Now Stefanski ran the ball a lot
Speaker 1: for Mike Zimmers. There's a lot of people are like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm nervous. They're just gonna run and they've
Speaker 1: got these two great running backs, which they do. But
Speaker 1: keep in mind, we think Mike Zimmer was dictating a
Speaker 1: lot of that run pass um ratio in Minnesota, and
Speaker 1: I think step Kevin Stefanski will pass more in Cleveland
Speaker 1: than he did in Minnesota. Now Mayfield just by himself
Speaker 1: has got this plethora of weapons. You can throw to Beckham,
Speaker 1: you can throw the Landry, you can throw to Hooper,
Speaker 1: you can throw to both of your excellent running backs
Speaker 1: in Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunts. So he's got all
Speaker 1: of these weapons around him. So even if Odell Beckham
Speaker 1: does not return to the elite form that he had,
Speaker 1: you're still pretty solid in this Baker Mayfield check. I think.
Speaker 1: But Beckham's gonna pan out. He's going to be better
Speaker 1: than this round. Five pick. Needless to say Odell Beckham
Speaker 1: is a good receiver. I mean, I don't think we
Speaker 1: have to even, you know, have that conversation about with him.
Speaker 1: But he's a great wide receive. Okay, maybe great right?
Speaker 1: You know, through three or four years it looked like
Speaker 1: he was. He was absolutely headed to the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: I happened to believe he made a catch with one
Speaker 1: hand once. Yes, he's done that before. Actually three Gettleman
Speaker 1: started interrupt real quick. I was at the Packers playoff
Speaker 1: game in Lambeau, pre Getleman, meaning I was a Giants fan.
Speaker 1: Then Beckham was not great in that game. I take
Speaker 1: that back. He was got off. Kevin Stefanski unlocked greatness
Speaker 1: from Stefon Diggs and Adam Thalen, and those guys have
Speaker 1: turned out to be very good receivers. They have they
Speaker 1: are all they've They've also become better than anybody thought
Speaker 1: they would ever be. Now you take Odell Beckham, and
Speaker 1: you give Kevin Stefanski a chance to take Odell Beckham
Speaker 1: and make him the best he can possibly be. And
Speaker 1: I'm very intrigued by what that looks like. Beckham is
Speaker 1: top one thousand yards in every season. Except his four
Speaker 1: game season in seventeen. So it sounds like he has
Speaker 1: these terrible seasons either. And last year he was daggered
Speaker 1: by and usually low touchdown production. He got targeted a
Speaker 1: hundred thirty three times and only scored four times. That's
Speaker 1: going to come back to the norm, and you know
Speaker 1: he'll he'll be if he gets targeted another hundred thirty
Speaker 1: three times, He's back to double digit style touchdowns, I believe.
Speaker 1: So there you go. I'm kind of surprised you left
Speaker 1: off Jarvis Landry, Who's I mentioned Landry is one of
Speaker 1: the targets Viam Landry really is like he I believe
Speaker 1: he has the NFL record for most catches in his
Speaker 1: first six years of He's he's absolutely in the role
Speaker 1: of Adam feeling there too, oh man, that he might
Speaker 1: be in in for even don't forget well he's not
Speaker 1: that much later. It's a funny thing. He's also round five, Okay,
Speaker 1: So I then I look, man, I feel like I
Speaker 1: feel like Landry's going like seven eight and the things
Speaker 1: I see him. But so the problem from Landry to
Speaker 1: me is he's had one season with him with meaningful
Speaker 1: touchdown production. At the end of the day, that guy
Speaker 1: that can give me that can return massive value on
Speaker 1: my fifth round pick. You want some touch I want
Speaker 1: I want touchdowns, I want big plays. Landry's just not
Speaker 1: that guy. He's a chain moving, possession receiver whom there
Speaker 1: was a little wamp to that. I think, would you
Speaker 1: rather have Landry? Would you execute this? This may feel
Speaker 1: too If they're in the same round, I'd probably go
Speaker 1: O'Dell and swing for the fences. But I mean, if
Speaker 1: if I can get Landry a couple of rounds later,
Speaker 1: depending on how ADP shakes out, if I can get
Speaker 1: Landry a couple of rounds later, I'd probably go that direction.
Speaker 1: I'm listening to that. I almost did, may feel to
Speaker 1: Hooper that was tempting people. Hooper is going too late,
Speaker 1: to all the Browns are going too late. I think
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan Julio Jones was one we both contemplated as well.
Speaker 1: That you know, I did not because Julio, it's too
Speaker 1: expensive for me and Calvin and Calvin Ridley this might
Speaker 1: be the year. So I didn't. I didn't actually did
Speaker 1: not give that a lot of meaningful thought. Um. There
Speaker 1: are a couple others obviously that that we did think
Speaker 1: about let's go to break when we come back, the
Speaker 1: double digit darts. These are guys from round ten or
Speaker 1: higher who have a lead upside, like top of the
Speaker 1: draft upside that can perform like a second round pick
Speaker 1: or a third round pick, maybe even a first round pick.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a big you know, you don't have ad
Speaker 1: it is a big gass. But guys who have that
Speaker 1: in them and don't need injury to get there are
Speaker 1: double digit darts coming up next. Welcome back to Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Paul Charge and Brian Johnson and Matt Harrison
Speaker 1: with you are double digit darts. These are guys from
Speaker 1: round ten or higher who have elite upside at their
Speaker 1: position and do not need injury to get there. That's
Speaker 1: a key component to this. We begin with Matt Harrison.
Speaker 1: Who you got alright? This guy is going off a
Speaker 1: DP one that qualifies for sure the last pick of
Speaker 1: the sixteenth round. Wow. That man is James Washington of
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is deep. It's deep. He did
Speaker 1: nothing through the first eight weeks of last season. Well
Speaker 1: he had no quarterbacking either through all of the weeks
Speaker 1: of last season. Nah, thing at all. It's just what
Speaker 1: no oh you gotta hold on. Oh there, and then
Speaker 1: duck came around. Yeah yeah, are we go? Uh? First
Speaker 1: day weeks no touchdowns, didn't top three receptions or fifty
Speaker 1: two yards. Thanks Mason Rudolph for that, plus a little
Speaker 1: bit of an injury there. Uh. From weeks nine through sixteen, however,
Speaker 1: insert insert the duck right there. Uh, he averaged six
Speaker 1: point to five targets per game, just over four catches
Speaker 1: per game, and seventy two yards per game. Added three
Speaker 1: touchdowns in that span too, over that eight game yards
Speaker 1: per games pretty good over those exact same eight games.
Speaker 1: There's this guy who's going off the board well higher
Speaker 1: than James Watching. His name is Deonte Johnson. Everybody loves him.
Speaker 1: I like Johnson. He averaged five point eight targets. That's less.
Speaker 1: He averaged three point seven five receptions, that's less. He
Speaker 1: averaged only forty one yards per game, that's about half
Speaker 1: significantly less, and only only had two touchdowns over that span.
Speaker 1: So why are we spending all of this on Deonte Johnson?
Speaker 1: Want to win j S when James Washington performed better
Speaker 1: than Deonte Johnson and you can get him so much later. Um.
Speaker 1: Last year, at this time Washington was kind of being
Speaker 1: drafted as the Deonte Johnson guy, the guy who could
Speaker 1: take over for Antonio Brown in this offense. Maybe what
Speaker 1: went wrong it was no Big Ben, and Big Ben's back,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna pass the ball and they're gonna get
Speaker 1: it going again. And James Washington stands to be in
Speaker 1: a pretty good spot, especially if the Steelers aren't as
Speaker 1: enthused about Juju Smith Schuster or something. So maybe James
Speaker 1: Washington's in line to be the next guy in Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: and there and they're they're a manifest acturer of wide
Speaker 1: receivers and they have been over there for I kind
Speaker 1: of like it. You know, I needed some selling and
Speaker 1: James Washington be got me there. And I'm not sold
Speaker 1: on Juju Smith Schuster. I know people are right back
Speaker 1: on Juju. Has got like a third round a DP
Speaker 1: right now there, you know, And obviously the quarterbacking was
Speaker 1: horrible last year, but he still didn't show up. I
Speaker 1: want my great receivers to sort of, you know, make
Speaker 1: up for some of the shortcomings of their bad quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: and Juju didn't do that. And I'm just not And he's,
Speaker 1: by the way, heading into a free agency I'm not
Speaker 1: convinced yet. I could I could very well be wrong,
Speaker 1: because I'm in the minority on this that Juju Smith
Speaker 1: Schuster is part of the future plans of Pittsburgh unless
Speaker 1: he materially jump, you know, jumps back to where he was.
Speaker 1: Is anybody convinced for sure that Juju is wide receiver
Speaker 1: one in Pittsburgh. I mean a lot of people might
Speaker 1: say Deante Johnson is. Don't forget he had Antonio Brown
Speaker 1: on the other side to take a lot of of
Speaker 1: rookie year All right, Brian, who is your double digit dart?
Speaker 1: Not quite as deep as uh Washington with Matt I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with Nicole Hardman wide receiver for the Chiefs
Speaker 1: going in the tenth round right now? Double digit? But
Speaker 1: if if a guy can return first round value, this
Speaker 1: just might be. And that doesn't need an injury to
Speaker 1: Tyreekill either. So last year as a rookie, Miko Hardman
Speaker 1: head five and thirty eight yards and six touchdowns. Those
Speaker 1: are like established veteran statistics for a starting wide receiver. Right,
Speaker 1: he did this on forty one targets for twenty six catches.
Speaker 1: Now forty one targets is like what Michael Thomas totals
Speaker 1: in two weeks like that is a right ridiculously underused,
Speaker 1: even for a rookie, especially when you're scoring six touchdowns
Speaker 1: on those forty one targets, averaging over twenty yards per game.
Speaker 1: I mean, just double those targets and you're looking at
Speaker 1: double digit touchdowns with that kind of production. But Hardman
Speaker 1: should see at least one hundred targets this year. DeMarcus
Speaker 1: Robinson saw fifty five last year. Take all of those
Speaker 1: away from him, please. Miko Hardman had a quarterback rating
Speaker 1: and it wasn't always Patrick Mahomes, mind you, throwing the
Speaker 1: ball is a way. He was injured a couple of years,
Speaker 1: a couple of games. Excuse me of a hundred forty
Speaker 1: five quarterback rating throwing to Nicole Hardman, Mikole Harden, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go back to the yards on receptions of twenty
Speaker 1: plus yards are more. He totaled more yards than Michael Thomas,
Speaker 1: D J. Moore, guys like this, Tyler Boyd that had
Speaker 1: a lot of They had a lot of volume that
Speaker 1: he never had a volume. He totaled more yards on
Speaker 1: deep passes. So yes, Tyreek kills in tow they drafted
Speaker 1: c H Travis Kelsey. But this is a prolific offense
Speaker 1: and if he can see double the amount of targets,
Speaker 1: he could push a thousand yards and ten touchdowns easily.
Speaker 1: And if they incret and I know we're not saying
Speaker 1: if someone gets injured, but if someone gets injured, this
Speaker 1: guy's the limit for hardman there already is really as
Speaker 1: long as he gets proper usage. I'm gonna go out
Speaker 1: on a limb here and say that this show tends
Speaker 1: to like Kansas City Chiefs. Everybody loves Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 1: We have to have an entire show where we go
Speaker 1: with the negatives of the Chiefs because every one of
Speaker 1: us is only spouted positivity about the Chiefs. Who wants
Speaker 1: but you know what, who wants Sammy Watkins. That's right,
Speaker 1: very much purposely left him out of this conversation because
Speaker 1: we don't want to talk about anyone. We don't want
Speaker 1: to talk about Sammy Watkins just ruins the party, It
Speaker 1: really does. My double digit dart and ah my man,
Speaker 1: love is just growing by the moment, by the way,
Speaker 1: that's totally totally just phrase. There's nothing you have pants on, thankfully,
Speaker 1: so we can't tell John Neu Smith man, do I
Speaker 1: love Jacks? Saw you tweet something about That's right? That
Speaker 1: would be three different video tweets about John new Smith yesterday.
Speaker 1: Current ADP is around thirteen. He is my number I
Speaker 1: believe nine tight end ranked tight end right now, Fantasy nine.
Speaker 1: There you go, Uh, John new Smith, Let's talk about him.
Speaker 1: Here's some of his ranks from last year. You might
Speaker 1: be asking yourself, where did John Nu Smith finish and
Speaker 1: contested catches? I bet you were just thinking that I was.
Speaker 1: I was. I was really work among tight ends. He
Speaker 1: was number one in contested catch rate, he was number
Speaker 1: five in true catch rate. He was number two. What's
Speaker 1: true catch rate? I don't know, he's number two. I
Speaker 1: think true catch rate is when they throw is when
Speaker 1: they take uncatchable passes off of the board. So you know,
Speaker 1: if you get a one hopper and normally the box
Speaker 1: score would read Ryan Tannehill incomplete to John Smith, but
Speaker 1: it was not a catchable pass. So when you take
Speaker 1: those out, he's still fifth. He was number two in
Speaker 1: yards per target, number seven in yards per reception, and
Speaker 1: number eight in yards per route run. That's John Nu
Speaker 1: Smith right there now, by the way. Fourth highest yards
Speaker 1: after catch at eight point four. That's john Nu Smith.
Speaker 1: And we're talking about a good offense and he's the
Speaker 1: number two receiver on the team. There's a J. Brown
Speaker 1: and then balls are going to Corey Davis. No john
Speaker 1: Nu Smith. Now, kendall right. The thing about Johnny Smith
Speaker 1: that you need to know, listeners, just go look at them.
Speaker 1: Go to my Twitter account, look at the guy play.
Speaker 1: All you have to do is see him. The athleticism
Speaker 1: is freak ish. For example, you may have seen on
Speaker 1: my Twitter account the fifty seven yard run that he
Speaker 1: had as a handoff from the half back position last
Speaker 1: year against a playoff defense in Houston. In fifty seven yards,
Speaker 1: he's six ft three, two hundred fifty pounds. It looks
Speaker 1: like Derrick Henry running the ball, but take Henry out.
Speaker 1: Was there a mix up? No, it's intention because because
Speaker 1: Johnnie Smith is that athletic, he's fat, he's a four
Speaker 1: six speed tight end. He is an athletic freak, and
Speaker 1: that offense, that passing offense is increasingly gonna go through him.
Speaker 1: I think I mentioned earlier they cut Delaney Walker. No
Speaker 1: issue there. He is the starter and he that dude
Speaker 1: is headed for stardom. Johnny Smith, he could finish easily
Speaker 1: as a top five tight end this year. I've got
Speaker 1: him number nine right now. Say still, I'm not quite
Speaker 1: ready to not quite ready to put him there yet,
Speaker 1: But nope, I don't have to. I can take him
Speaker 1: in as the thirteenth round. I can reach around in
Speaker 1: the twelve and get John Smith. Can see you. Given
Speaker 1: Jonah Smith to reach around, I would I would give
Speaker 1: John News Vulture. Well, yeah, I could go eleventh round.
Speaker 1: That could happen. That's right. If you're not listening to
