1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: Wow, Hey there everybody. It is Tuesday, February first, two 2 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 1: thousand twenty two. Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, 3 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,479 Speaker 1: where we don't make enough money to have real diamonds 4 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: in our chain. I'm Marcus Grant alongside Michael f Florio, 5 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: producer Justin Is at the controls, and we've reached sort 6 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: of dead week. It's the week between Championship week and 7 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,160 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. It's the Pro Bowl week. So uh, 8 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: we're gonna just kind of dive in on some on 9 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: some positional stuff. But first of all, uh, you know, 10 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: aside from the obvious pain of not having your team 11 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: in the championship games, Floria, what did you think of 12 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: the a f C and NFC title games? I thought 13 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 1: I thought the NFC brought pain for you, and I'm 14 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: sorry about that, Marcus. I'm happy for Matthew Stafford as 15 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,319 Speaker 1: someone who's always kind of rooted for him, though, Uh, 16 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: in the a f C, man, I want to know 17 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: where the real path mahomes win in the second half 18 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: and over time because he had time to throw and 19 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: he just nothing was there for him. I know it's 20 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: a it's an unpopular take. I want to give all 21 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: the credit to the Bengals fans, but as they scored 22 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: Bills fan watching that game, it was like, Man, the 23 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: Bills just one last week, I think they'd be in 24 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: the super Bowl right now. I mean, it's it's hard 25 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: to imagine they wouldn't be. Um and and I don't 26 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: know who that guy was wearing the Patrick Mahomes jersey 27 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: in the second half. Um the amount of times he 28 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: just ran around in the pocket, held onto the football, 29 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: didn't throw it, and even in key situations just holding 30 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: onto the ball. Um. I feel like after they had 31 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: that pass at the end of the first half, the 32 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: little swing out to Tyreek Hill, they get stopped, the 33 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: clock runs out, they don't get any points before halftime. 34 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: That seemed like the beginning of the end for them 35 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: because they didn't really do much after that. Um And 36 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: so now they're sitting at home, I think, much to 37 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people's surprise. But congrats to the Bengals. Man, 38 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: they they are the swaggiest team that ever wagged. Um. 39 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if you saw did you 40 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: see the photo of Jamaar Chase's dad and Joe Burrow's 41 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: dad smoking cigars like in the parking lot afterwards. That 42 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: was pretty amazing. It must be great for them being like, 43 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: you know, two years ago we were doing this in college, 44 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: and now we're doing this in the NFL, like in 45 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. The first number one pick ever to 46 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: go to the Super Bowl within two years as a quarterback, 47 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: like it is, it's an amazing story. I don't know 48 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 1: if they're gonna win the super Bowl, but I think 49 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: like they've already so far exceeded any expectations for them. Oh, 50 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: they absolutely have. I mean, you know, I remember going 51 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: back and seeing people, you know, having them pegg for 52 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: three wins, four wins, just whatever. And and you know, 53 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: I think even the most optimistic of Bengals fans would 54 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: tell you that they didn't expect this team to be 55 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: in the super Bowl. So it's gonna be interesting. As 56 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: for the NFC, it hurts sort of how it happened. Um, 57 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: The fact is, I didn't think this team was gonna 58 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: make this kind of a run. I didn't think they 59 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: would really be here. Um, And so them losing isn't 60 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: necessarily was Painful's sort of how they lost the fact that, 61 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: much like the Super Bowl two years ago, they had 62 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: a ten point lead going into the fourth quarter, and uh, 63 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: it didn't happen. And part of it, not not the 64 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: full reason, but certainly part of it because the quarterback 65 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: uh couldn't find a way to move the football when 66 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: they needed to or find a way to get points 67 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: when they needed to. Um. So Uh, as you can imagine, 68 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: the text chain of friends I have is is appropriately salty. Um. 69 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: One of my friends has vowed that he will text 70 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: us every day reminding us of that soul crushing interception. 71 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: Um until Jimmy Garoppolo is no longer on the roster. 72 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: So right now we were at two days worth of texts. Um. 73 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: We'll see how long this goes. The thing Like, yeah, 74 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: Jimmy g deserves a lot of the blame, but I 75 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: think Kyle Shanahan deserves even more. Like Kyle Shanahan is 76 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: a great coach, he's a great play caller, but man 77 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: does his reputation now has to be like being far 78 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: too conservative in big games. I mean, we saw what 79 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: happened with the Falcons when they blew the big lead 80 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: to Brady, the ten point lead in the super Bowl, 81 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: and then the ten point lead the other like the 82 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: other day, fourth and two in the Rams territory. You 83 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: just had the Rams use the worst challenge I've ever seen. 84 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: They had no more time outs. You have Deebo Samuel 85 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: back there, like you don't get him a touch. He 86 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: punted the ball. Once they punted there, I was like 87 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: the Rams like when they came out and lined back up, Marcus, 88 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: I was like, this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. 89 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: Rams had them about to punt and then allowed them 90 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: to change their mind, and then they just went back 91 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: to punting, And I was like, I don't get this 92 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: at all. It's like both coaches were trying to allow 93 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: the other team to win. I didn't. I didn't understand 94 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: lining up to try to draw them off sides and 95 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: to stand there with like fifteen seconds and just bark 96 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: signals after while the Rams are kind of like, okay, 97 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: well they're not gonna actually run a play um which 98 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: two things One first off, if you're gonna stand there 99 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: in line up for fifteen seconds and just bark signals, 100 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: I said that, it's like the It's like the football 101 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: over version of the fake to third, fake to first 102 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: in baseball, the thing that like never works and everybody's like, 103 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: why are you doing this? Your way time. But second 104 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: in in our pal roto Pat pat Do already brought 105 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: this up to and I've always thought this, why not 106 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: line up and sit there and try to draw the 107 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: team off sides and then once they all sort of 108 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: relax and expect you're not going to run a play 109 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: at like two or one snap the football, run a play, 110 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: see if you can catch the defense off guard. Because 111 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: at some point everybody just sort of relaxes, They're like, okay, 112 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: well you're not actually gonna snap it. That's when you 113 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: snap it. Um, they become more concerned with not jumping 114 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: than they do with actually jumping to stop to play, right, 115 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: So I'm waiting for the day that some coach tries 116 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: that where you just kind of lull everybody into a 117 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: sense of security, then you run a play and you 118 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: see what happens. But yeah, yeah, so um, I also 119 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: felt like, hey, you have Trey Lance there, man, like 120 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: he could pick up two yards. The fact that they 121 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: actually never tried a real tray lance package in a 122 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: second half of the season was a little bit strange. 123 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: But um, it seems as though the tray lance er 124 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: maybe beginning in San Francisco, So uh, we'll save but yeah, 125 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: after a couple of days, and I think I'm sort 126 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: of over it a little bit. I also, I can't 127 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: really hate this Rams team. I know is the Niners 128 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: fandom supposed to their rivals, but um, it's kind of 129 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: a hard Rams team to hate. I kind of like 130 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: their players. So uh so good luck to whoever wins. 131 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: It should be entertaining and I'm sure we'll talk plenty 132 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: about it as we get closer to the actual game. 133 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: All Right, um, we're gonna talk some wide receivers today, 134 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: but first there are a couple of big things worth 135 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: jumping into. First off, a couple of coach hirings. Josh 136 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: McDaniel's going to be hired to be the coach of 137 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: the Raiders. Brian Dable leaves your Bills, uh, staying in state. Technically, 138 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: I don't know he's gonna play his games in Jersey now, 139 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: but technically he's still in New York with the Giants. Um. 140 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,679 Speaker 1: With Nathaniel Hackett going to Denver, the Packers elevate Adam 141 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: Stinovich to their offensive coordinating. The Bears go to Green 142 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: Bay and they hire Packers quarterback coach with Getsy as 143 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,799 Speaker 1: their O c Um. I know it's sort of early, 144 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: and I'm sure we'll dive into these a little bit more. 145 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: I guess I'll ask you about Dable though, because with 146 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: him leaving Buffalo, what does this mean for the Bills offense? 147 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: What does this mean for a guy like Josh Allen. 148 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: I don't think it means a whole lot, because the 149 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: Bills have someone like Josh Allen, Like I would feel 150 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: better obviously if they kept everyone intact and it was like, hey, 151 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: we get to run this back again. But this was 152 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: kind of the expectation that he was going to leave, 153 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: and I think it's at the point now where like 154 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: if he left last year, I would have had concerns 155 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: and been like, was this was Josh Allen's you know, 156 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: breakout year, just a product of this great offensive system 157 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: that Dabel kind of ran. But we saw this year 158 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: the system changed a little bit. It wasn't nearly as 159 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: efficient as it was last year, but Josh Allen still 160 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: put up great numbers. I think at some point, uh, 161 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: if you have a quarterback as talented as like one 162 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: of the elite guys, which is what I truly think 163 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is at this point, I think regardless of 164 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: who's calling the plays. You're gonna get good numbers out 165 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: of him. But I would say, like I would feel 166 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: a little bit better if it was just kept intact 167 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: and it wasn't a new system coming in. Does this 168 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: hurt his chance to repeat as the q be one 169 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: for three straight years? I don't think so. I think 170 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: he's still in the running. I think if if it 171 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: doesn't happen, it's just because it's super hard for it 172 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: to happen three years in a row. But it doesn't 173 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: help his chances at all. But I don't think. I mean, 174 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: he's he's so good as a dynamic runner and thrower 175 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: that like it would be like if if Eric bi 176 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: enemy left the Chiefs, I'd be like, I'm not really 177 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: too worried about Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, No, you're probably right, um, 178 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: but it would be interesting to see what happens. I 179 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: know that DABL has talked about Daniel Jones. Uh looks 180 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: like he is I won't say the future, but he's 181 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 1: at least the present at quarterback for the Giants, and 182 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: so I think they're gonna try to have to work 183 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: with him and see what happens. I know you actually 184 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: tweeted about having Mitch Robinsky show up as the backup. 185 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: I think it makes a lot of sense that we've 186 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: seen already like a Buffalo to the Giants pipeline, Like 187 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: they have the assistant GM now, the the head coach 188 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: now of the Giants was from Buffalo. They brought in 189 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: a running back, they brought in the offensive lines coach. Like, 190 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: there's a lot of pieces moving from Buffalo to the Giants. 191 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: And I think Dan Jones and Rubisky are similar players, 192 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: similar place styles. I think it makes a lot of sense. 193 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: But then a lot of people were were, you know, 194 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: chiming in like why would Rubisky want to be a backup? 195 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: And I'm like everyone that is like, he's getting a 196 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: guaranteed chance to start. I think the values, uh, Mitch 197 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: Drubisky a little bit too much. I mean, also, the 198 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: fact is if he goes to New York, there is 199 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: a chance he could start, I mean, um one, I mean, 200 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: who's to say he couldn't compete with Daniel Jones. And 201 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: also if it's like this past year, Jones missed a 202 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: lot of time, so there's a very good chance for 203 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: Bisky could get on the field in New York. Who knows, 204 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: all right, So the big big news that sort of 205 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: happened over the weekend but then officially happened on Tuesday morning. 206 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,719 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, after twenty two seasons in the NFL, is 207 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: officially announcing his retirement. The story story sort of broke 208 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: over the weekend, and then there were other side sort 209 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: of pushing back on it. Brady's agent was sort of 210 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: pushing back on a Brady's dad said he hadn't heard anything. 211 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: There were reports that the Bucks hadn't heard anything. And 212 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: then this morning TV twelve himself put out a nine 213 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: instant grand page manifesto. I'm calling it a manifesto because 214 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: anything more than two pages is if I have to 215 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: swipe a second time, it is officially a manifesto and 216 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: no longer a statement. So he put out a big, 217 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: long retirement manifesto. Uh that I didn't read the whole thing. 218 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you, because it was nine 219 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: pages long. Apparently didn't mention the Patriots at all, which 220 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: is sort of weird. Um, I don't know if that's 221 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: a slight. I don't really have the time or energy 222 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: to kind of put my brain power into that sort 223 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: of thing. I don't really care. Um, I know there's 224 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: gonna be plenty of people talking about the greatness of 225 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: Tom Brady forever and ever and ever. Um, I just 226 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 1: want to talk about fantasy right now, because obviously him 227 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: gone blows a big hole in the Buccaneers offense right 228 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: right now, the quarterbacks left on the roster are Blaine 229 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: Gabbert and Kyle Trask. Do you strongly believe that Tampa 230 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: Bay is going to go into the start of next 231 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: season with one of those guys as their starter. No, 232 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: not not at all, But I think they'll be heavily 233 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: in the quarterback market. Jimmy g is a name that 234 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are floating out there 235 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: as a potential replacement. I love the idea of bringing 236 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: Jami's back and just being like, hey, Brady came in 237 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: for two years, but we're bringing you back. And but 238 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 1: the thing is the Bucks offense. Obviously it's gonna be 239 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: a lot different next year without Tom Brady, but there's 240 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: also a lot of other pieces there that are free. 241 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: Grant could retire, Godwin is a free agent. We know 242 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown has done there for net and Ronald Jones 243 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: are free agents. So like that O. J. Howard, that 244 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: Bucks offense could be pretty gross next season. So with 245 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: I mean, then that's whether Brady was gonna play or not. 246 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: It had the potential to be I can say there's 247 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: a there's a whole lot of potential for change there. Um, 248 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: this has the feeling of an offense where we really 249 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: wanted so many pieces of it, to an offense where, 250 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: depending on you know, who stays and who goes, we 251 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: might not want any parts of it. Um. You know, 252 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: I know that. You know, usually this time of year 253 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: we start sort of looking ahead and figuring out, Okay, 254 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: how can this player rebound or get better? What have you? 255 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: I think we look at the bucks and there's zero 256 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: idea of what who expect right now? Um, I mean 257 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how like, let's let's say Chris Godwin's 258 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: stayed right, Mike Evans is still there. How much of 259 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: it depends on who the quarterback? Is your interest level 260 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: in these guys a good amount? I mean it all 261 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: like no offense. If it's someone like like Jimmy g 262 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: that's a clear downgrade from Tom Brady. That's a quarterback 263 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: who can't throw the deep ball as well as Tom Brady, 264 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: which is naturally going to mean that there's gonna Bruce 265 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: Arians gonna have to change his style of offense. I 266 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: thought when Tom Brady came that they were gonna have 267 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 1: to change their style of offense to air it outless 268 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: because Brady had never been that type of quarterback, at 269 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: least not in the last decade before this, and now 270 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: he's the best deep ball thrower in the NFL all 271 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: of a sudden. So Bruce Arians has a system that 272 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: he likes and it is really throwing the deep ball. 273 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: So a lot of it is going to depend on 274 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: who the quarterback is. And even if let's say they 275 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: get a you know, a solid veteran quarterback, if if 276 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: Godwin and those other pieces leave, we could be looking 277 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: at like Mike Vans and Tyler Johnson, and that's gonna 278 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: mean a bunch of like double coverage and stuff on 279 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: Mike Evans. I know, I've kind of been the the 280 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: low guy on Mike Evans for for the last couple 281 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: of years, and people on Twitter like to point that 282 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: out to me. But like I said it the other day, 283 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: I was like, it could get really ugly for Mike 284 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: Evans and people are like, no, He'll still just keep 285 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: putting up a thousand and double digit touchdowns, and I'm like, 286 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: at some point something has to give, right, like he 287 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 1: he can't. And they're like, oh, well he did it 288 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: without Brady, and it's like, well he had Jamis Winston 289 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: throw yolo balls every time. Yeah, I mean, like I 290 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: I would worry about I still think he could get 291 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: you a thousand yards, right, because I mean, let's let's 292 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: keep it real. Now, it's a seventeen game schedule. A 293 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: thousand yards is less than sixty yards a game, right, 294 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: so that that certainly seems plausible. It's not really as 295 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: impressive when you start to break it down, but the 296 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: touchdowns could be an issue depending on who the quarterback is. 297 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: I do think, if you know, I don't. I don't 298 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: think they're really gonna bring back Jamis because I think, uh, 299 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: you know, if he goes back to being the old 300 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,439 Speaker 1: Jamison turning the ball over like Bruce, arians might have 301 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: a stroke. But um, you know, but he's the kind 302 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: of quarterback that could keep Evans numbers afloat, that could 303 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: kind of keep him with that same or a similar 304 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: touchdown potential that could keep him getting close to a 305 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: thousand yards. But you're right, a guy like Jimmy Garoppolo 306 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: that number. It could be in Jeopardy. Who knows. Um, 307 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: So we'll see. But there's there's a lot of questions 308 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: that the Bucks have to answer before we start next 309 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: season with but the but Tom Brady officially done. Normally 310 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: I ask you for guys, a Fantasy Hall of Famer, 311 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: But that feels like a silly question right now. He's 312 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: the greatest athlete to ever lace him up. I mean, 313 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: so yeah, maybe he'll have a strawberry now that he's uh, 314 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: now that he's retired. Who knows. All right, let's let's 315 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: turn to Fantasy wide receivers. Uh going back, of course, 316 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: looking at the top five through weeks seventeen from this 317 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: past season, no surprise number one, Cooper Cup, number two, 318 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: Davante Adams, number three, Deebo Samuel maybe the surprise in 319 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: this group. I don't think anybody had that peg at 320 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: the start of the year. Justin Jefferson at number four. 321 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase number five also maybe a little bit of 322 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: a surprise because you know, back here in August last year, 323 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: apparently he was blind and had one hand and nobody 324 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: thought he could play in the NFL new Uh so 325 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: he finishes as your wide receiver. Five. That gets me too, 326 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: the three big wide receiver draft strategy questions, and the 327 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: first one, how many wide receivers are worth? Are going 328 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: to be worth a first round pick in two? I 329 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: think a minimal of two with the max potential at four. 330 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: Like I think as of right now, if Davante Adams 331 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: is still playing with Aaron Rodgers, I think Adams and 332 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: Cooper cup are first round locks. Um. But I think 333 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: also depending on the hype and who like in Minnesota, 334 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: who their head coaches, that will determine a lot. But 335 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: I think Jamaar Chase and Justin Jefferson can definitely slide in. 336 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: And in fact, I've said it, I wouldn't knock anyone 337 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: if they took Jamar Chases the number one wide receiver 338 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: off the board. I wouldn't knock any one if they 339 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: took Justin Jefferson as the number one wide receiver off 340 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: the board next year. So for me, I think there's 341 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: a clear cut top four and I think that at 342 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: least two of them go in the first round. What 343 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: they chance and in some drafts it'll be it'll differ 344 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: from draft to draft, but I think there's a chance 345 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: that we could get three or maybe even four, which 346 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: is such a difference from what the draft board looked 347 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: like last year. Yeah, I think the Cup for sure 348 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: is there. You're right, Adams if if he is still 349 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: playing with Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams is in there. Um, 350 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: I think Jamar Chase is gonna be your your third 351 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: wide receiver at worst. I mean he may go higher 352 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: than that, but I think at worst he's your wide 353 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: receiver three coming off the board in a lot of leagues. 354 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: I think he probably sneaks into the into the first round. Uh. 355 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: And I'm sort of with you on Justin Jefferson. A 356 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: lot of it depends on the coaching situation. Um, do 357 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: we believe that Kirk Cousins is gonna be there next year? 358 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: Because I think that makes a difference too. If they're 359 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: getting a Hearborough, I think so. Like I think that 360 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: at that point you're going all in, and with Tom 361 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: Brady retiring with Aaron Rodgers, the room is are like 362 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: the Packers don't want to see him in the NFC. 363 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: Then like that leaves like Russ as like and like 364 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and Matt Stafford. After that, the NFC is 365 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: completely up for grabs. So I think the Vikings, with 366 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: the talent that they have on offense, will be looking 367 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: to compete next year if they go in that direction. 368 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: If they go in a different direction, maybe, Uh, they 369 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 1: don't go all in with Kirk Cousins. But I think 370 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,239 Speaker 1: if we see like a big coaching higher that they 371 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: go one at least one year all in with this team. Yeah, 372 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: I think that that probably makes some sense there. I'm 373 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: like thinking, as you're talking, right, I'm looking at the 374 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: NFC quarterbacks, right, I mean, so Brady, we know is 375 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: is gone. Um. You know if Rogers somehow leaves the NFC, 376 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: I mean, who are your best quarterbacks in the in 377 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: the conference? You've got Tyler, you got Stafford, got Russ 378 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: presuming he doesn't go to say Denver or something the 379 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: same division, right, Um, right, exactly, you got dak Um 380 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: in Dallas. Uh. Other than that, there's a there's a 381 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: lot of question marks the top five in the NFC. 382 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: I think he might be. He might be if some 383 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: of these other moves actually end up happening. That is 384 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: a weird thing to think. Um. Okay, So when deciding 385 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 1: between multiple wide receivers, let's say we get to that 386 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: part in the you know, third fourth round, when wide 387 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: receivers start coming off the board really heavy. If you're 388 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: decided between multiple guys, is there something in particular that 389 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: you look for that ends up being a deciding factor. Yeah, 390 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: And it's something that I know you definitely have touched 391 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: on a lot as of late. But I don't look 392 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: at like talent like you're never gonna catch me watch it. 393 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: Like like, if I'm debating between two receivers, I'm not 394 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: gonna be like, let me pull up their film and 395 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: see which one I think is the better route runner. No, 396 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: Like I go to which one is in the better situation, 397 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: Who has the better quarterback throwing him the ball, who 398 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: is in the offense that I think could score more 399 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: points and has a better play caller, who is in 400 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: a position where they're going to get a large target share, 401 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: and that, um, that is usually what I think. Situation 402 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: when it comes to receivers, especially matters way more than talent. 403 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: Uh So for me, that is always what it's coming 404 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: down to, and it's not always gonna be right. Like 405 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: this past year, I was saying, like, how is someone 406 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: like Terry McLaurin and Ceedee Lamb two players that you know, 407 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: I love Marcus, How are they going over Allen Robinson? 408 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: I was saying, because to me, the situation lead itself 409 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: to like Allen Robinson is a safe bet to see 410 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty targets. I know it didn't work out, 411 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: and I'll own that, big l but like that is 412 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: a classic way of like how I like to think. 413 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: It also led me to draft Cooper cup in a 414 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 1: lot of leagues in the middle round since past year. Yeah, 415 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: I do think, I mean, I think you know, I've 416 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: been saying opportunity or talent is such a big deal. 417 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: So I do look at you know what what is 418 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: a team's passing volume? Is it? Is it? You know? Also, 419 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: You're right, quarterback makes a big difference, right. I would 420 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: rather have, say, the third wide receiver in an offense 421 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: where I know I can trust the quarterback versus a 422 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 1: third wide receiver on a team that maybe is bad, right, 423 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: Like the Aguars are a bad team and they have 424 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: to throw the football a lot in the second half. Um, 425 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: I don't want their third wide receiver over say Tyler Boyd. 426 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: You know who who you know is in a better 427 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: situation in Cincinnati he's got a better quarterback and a 428 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: better offense at least for right now. Um So I 429 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: think that's sort of a thing to to kind of 430 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 1: keep in mind. I know we're gonna you know, we're 431 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: gonna be splitting hairs, I think the summer in a 432 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: lot of cases, because we're gonna get to the fourth round, 433 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: fifth round in a lot of drafts, and there's gonna 434 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: be a lot of good wide receivers out there. Um 435 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: But I think you know, and we'll talk about this more, 436 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: but if you have that idea, you have that plan 437 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: of what separates guy A from B from C, I 438 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 1: think you can feel sure of confident about what you're 439 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: doing in your draft. Uh. Last one, what is your 440 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: late round wide receiver draft strategy? Target? Upside? Like I'm 441 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 1: not going to be the guy that's gonna take that, 442 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: like you know, like that Cole Beasley type player that 443 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: can give you like ten Fantasy points a week like that. 444 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: To me, I know there's a place for that in fantasy. 445 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: But when I'm talking about like late round wide receivers, 446 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: I want to take the upside shots because if it 447 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: doesn't work out, I could just you're likely to cut 448 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: your your late round picks anyway for waiver wire targets. 449 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: So I'm I'm all about going for upside and it 450 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: doesn't always work out, but when you pay the upside 451 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: along with the situation, I think that's how you could 452 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 1: find some good late round picks. And it's why in 453 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: a lot of drafts, like I know you were on 454 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: him a lot, to Marcus, I was drafting a monros 455 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 1: st Brown in a lot of places. He was actually 456 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: my best ball draft, my most drafted player. I looked 457 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: back and I saw that. I was like, oh wow, 458 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: that that really worked out for me. But it was 459 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: because I thought that he could play. I thought he 460 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 1: had some talent. I thought, you know that being young, 461 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 1: he brought upside. And then I was just like, it's 462 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,959 Speaker 1: a great situation, Like there's no clear cut wide receiver 463 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: one there, so a player like that could win and 464 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: it's not always gonna work out, And like I said, 465 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: you're more often than not gonna drop that late round 466 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: pick anyway. But to me, that is what what I 467 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: always look for in the later rounds. Yeah, I just 468 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: think that opportunity, that that chance when you look at 469 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: rosters and you you don't see a clear cut number 470 00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: one or even a clear cut number two. I mean, 471 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: you know, we keep talking about the Chiefs all these 472 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 1: years and looking for who is their wide receiver to UM, 473 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: you know, and I know there are some folks out 474 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 1: there who who kind of put it on Byron Pringle 475 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: and late in the season I kind of paid off. 476 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: So I think there's some opportunity when you look at 477 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: guys who maybe aren't getting a whole lot of run 478 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: sitting around late rounds, but if they have a chance 479 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: and maybe step into a larger role in their offenses, 480 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: I think that's worth sort of taking the dart throw on. 481 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: And you're right, Look if it's a late round pick, uh, 482 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: if you're talking into the draft, it doesn't work out, 483 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: you kind of after a couple of weeks. Generally, no harm, 484 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: no foul. Although I will say Maurice Jones Drew has 485 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: admitted the last couple of years he has traded UM 486 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 1: guys who've gone on to be stars. Like I think 487 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: he said he had Jeffer Justin Jefferson two years ago. 488 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: Jefferson got off to a slow start, m j D 489 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: traded him boom. Uh. This past year he had Mark Chase. 490 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,959 Speaker 1: Chase got off to a kind of slow start. Uh 491 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: m j d traded him. You see what happened. So 492 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: I would also keep an eye on Maurice Jones Drew 493 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: and see if he's trading any young wide receivers early 494 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: in the season. Is maybe that's a guy that you 495 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: want to go get had dear roster. All right, take 496 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll come back and we'll kind of 497 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 1: look ahead at some of the wide receivers in two. 498 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: Next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Okay, so try 499 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: to play some hype train or smoke screen when it 500 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: comes to wide receivers. I got three names here, uh, 501 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: two of them kind of serious, one of them sort 502 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: of tongue in cheek. But that will play some hype 503 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: trainer smoke screen. The first one, Deebo Samuel, will repeat 504 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,239 Speaker 1: as a top five fantasy wide receiver in two. This 505 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: is the hardest one of the three for me. I'm 506 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: gonna say smoke screen just because I know you've said it. 507 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: I kind of agree with well, I I don't kind 508 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: of I fully agree with you. It feels like this 509 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: was like a season where everything broke right for Deebo Samuel. 510 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: He had such a large target share the way they 511 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: were using him as a running back and allowing him 512 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: to basically score all the goal line touchdowns. It was tremendous. 513 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: It was so much fun to watch. He nearly got 514 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: his team to his Super Bowl, and I felt so 515 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: bad for him when he lost. But I it just 516 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: feels like everything broke right for him this year, and 517 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 1: I think he'll have a really good year next year. 518 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: I'll I have I'll have him ranked as a wide 519 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: receiver one, but I don't think he'll be in my 520 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: top five. I already said I have my top four 521 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 1: with it being Cup Adams, Chase and Jefferson. Then I 522 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: think you could put in like Tyreek Hill, Stefon Diggs, Deebo, 523 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: Samuel Like, there's a lot of competition for that fit spot, 524 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: so I'll have him just outside of that. I have 525 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: him more as like a top ten guy than top five, 526 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: but still a good fantasy pick next year. I think 527 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a great fantasy pick next year. But yeah, 528 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 1: I'm calling smoke screen on this one. To um. The 529 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: eight rushing touchdowns seems really hard to duplicate for a 530 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: guy who was technically a wide receiver. Um, you know, 531 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: and I do have questions about what the offense is 532 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: going to look like next year. I mean, obviously the 533 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: expectation is that Jimmy Garoppolo has gone, Trey Lance is 534 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: going to take over, um, But what does that mean 535 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: for all of the pieces around him, especially if you know, 536 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: is he going to be one to dump the ball off, 537 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,479 Speaker 1: maybe make those short throws or will he take off 538 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: and run himself? These are all a lot of unknowns, 539 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: But I do think Debo has sort of established himself 540 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: as the kind of the new alpha in that offense, 541 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: even more than George Kittle. UM. So I think that 542 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: sort of will keep him definitely in the the wide 543 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: receiver one range without doubt. But top five seems seems 544 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 1: a little hard to repeat, uh coming up next year. 545 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: So we'll you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna go smoke 546 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: screen on that one. Uh. Okay, So we're all from 547 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: Deebo to Odell Beckham Jr. Who finished strong and he 548 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: was kind of man when he first got to Los Angeles, 549 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: finished out strong, had a good game in the NFC Championship. Uh, 550 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: will he again be a consistent wide receiver one next year? 551 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,959 Speaker 1: Hype train or smoke screen? I'm saying smoke screen, and 552 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying that as someone who really likes Odell, was 553 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: rooting for him, was was very happy to see him 554 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: with the Rams, and the Rams do not make the 555 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: Super Bowl without Odell Beckham Jr. I just don't think 556 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: it happens. But I don't think he's a wide receiver 557 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: one for fantasy purposes. One. It depends where he signs. 558 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 1: I the more that this Rams run is going on, 559 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe that he is going 560 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: to leave l A. I wouldn't be surprised if they 561 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: brought him back and him Bobby Trees, which Cooper Cup 562 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: even calls Robert Woods Bobby Trees, which I thought was amazing. 563 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if they ran it back there. 564 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 1: We've heard some rumblings with the Chiefs. He's obviously going 565 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: to pick a team that has a good quarterback and stuff. 566 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: So I think he'll be a wide receiver to for 567 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: fantasy purposes, but I would not be buying back in 568 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: as a wide receiver. One. Yeah, I'm I'm with you 569 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: on that one. I think you know, first I was 570 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: kind of like, well, maybe he does leave, maybe he stays. 571 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: But even if he stays, Uh, that means there's a 572 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: lot of mouths to feed, right. I mean you got 573 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: Robert Woods coming back, You'll have O b J, You'll 574 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: have Cooper Cup. Uh, you know, poor Van Jefferson ends up. 575 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: He seems like sort of the odd man out. You know, 576 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: if if Beckham sticks around there, they're still gonna run 577 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: the football, right because cam Akers is still going to 578 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: be there as well. Um, so it seems sort of hard, 579 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: but it was a guy, it was. It was nice 580 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 1: to see Odell remind us of the player he could be. Um, 581 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: and you know, in the end, it kind of went 582 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: the way I thought. I thought he'd have some games 583 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 1: where it's like, hey, this is you know this guy. 584 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 1: Remember this guy he was a stud once upon a time, 585 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: and then he had some games. It was kind of like, yeah, 586 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 1: I don't really know. I think that's sort of gonna 587 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: be him for the foreseeable future. So I think he 588 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,199 Speaker 1: could be a nice piece. I think a lot of it, 589 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, depends on where he goes. But um, 590 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: I don't know that he's a He's that wide receiver 591 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: one like he used to be. All right, last one 592 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 1: here hype trainer smoke screen Antonio Brown will be on 593 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: an NFL roster at I'll say even at any point 594 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: in the year next season, will he be on an 595 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: NFL roster. I'm gonna say smoke screen, because I find 596 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: it hard to believe that a player could just flat 597 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: not only just quit like we saw. We've seen players 598 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: retired at halftime before. But he took his jersey, his pants, 599 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: he ran up, and then he celebrated when the Bucks 600 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: got eliminated. Like, to me, that's a that's a hard 601 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: one to kind of overcome. It really seems like it's 602 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: Ravens or bust at this point, Like he's even posting 603 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: pictures on social media of him in a Ravens uniform. 604 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: Lamar seems on board with it. I know markets. I 605 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: mean their their cousins, Marquis and Antonio Brown, so there's 606 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: that connection there. But the Ravens have a lot of 607 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 1: good young pass catchers. I'm not sure if it's just 608 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: worth the headache that we know Antonio Brown could become 609 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 1: if things don't go right for him. Uh So, I'm 610 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: gonna say smoke screen. But obviously I think it comes 611 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: down to the Ravens or bust. You talk about players 612 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: retiring at halftime that that felt a little personal. Huh uh, 613 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: Vante Davis, It's one of my favorite. He apparently was 614 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: like I said, if I ever felt slow in a 615 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: football field, I was hanging up and he said, for 616 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: the first time ever in his career, that was the 617 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: game he felt slow and he was like, I'm done, 618 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: So like I kind of respect it. I mean, look, 619 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: he was true to his words, so no doubt. Yeah, 620 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: that was funny. You know what I'm gonna I'm going 621 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: to say, hype train. I'm gonna say that at some 622 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: point some team that is is mediate wide receiver, they're 623 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: gonna pick up that phone and they're gonna call Antonio Brown. Now, 624 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not gonna make any predictions about how 625 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,719 Speaker 1: it will go or how it will end. But something 626 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: just tells me that you know that he's somehow not 627 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: done like you would have You would have thought that 628 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: all the things that have happened in the last few years, right, 629 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: I mean going back to sort of how the way 630 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: he forced himself out of Pittsburgh. Uh, the fact that 631 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: he basically nixed that trade to the Bills, uh, going 632 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,479 Speaker 1: to the Raiders and and everything that happened with the Raiders, 633 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: from frozen feet to helmets that didn't fit. Um, I 634 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: mean not to mention the more much more serious, you know, 635 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: allegations of of sexual assault and sexual misconduct. I mean 636 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: even just the stuff he's done on the field. You 637 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: would have thought that nobody would give him a chance. 638 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: But yet here we are talking about Antonio Brown at 639 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: the start of February in two So something tells me that, 640 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, somebody's gonna give him a shot and 641 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,719 Speaker 1: we're gonna do this dance all over again. I don't know. 642 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: I just I have no proof of that. It's just 643 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,239 Speaker 1: a gut feeling I have, all right, Uh's wrap it up, 644 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: do our dynasty rankings, our top five dynasty wide receivers 645 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: as of this moment. Who you got Jamaar Chase, who 646 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: is arguably the best receiver in foot poll already and 647 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: is just barely old enough to drink his college teammate 648 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, who's only twenty two. Uh. And then I 649 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: still put in a couple of the older guys like 650 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup twenty years old, Tyreek Hill seven. I still 651 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: think because they're tied to great offenses that you're gonna 652 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: get a few really high elite years out of them, 653 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: so still have them in the top five. And then 654 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle at number five, who showed a lot this year, 655 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: broke rookie records. I know he's not quite what Jamar 656 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: Chase was, but he showed a lot. He could be 657 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,719 Speaker 1: a deep receiver, he could be a possession receiver, and uh, 658 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: I just think the future is really bright for him. 659 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: He showed a lot this year, so at such a 660 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: young age, I felt the need to to include him 661 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: over guys like Digs and Deebo and Adams, who I 662 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: had just outside the top five. So your your top 663 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: five is identical to my top five. I left Vante 664 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: Adams off just because I'm not sure about his quarterback situation. 665 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: And even still, even if if Rogers somehow does come back, 666 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: I mean, how many more years are they really going 667 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: to play together? I think that has an impact. Uh. 668 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: The reason I wanted to put Jalen Waddle a little 669 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: bit higher than number five, it's just that as much 670 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: as I've I've tried to be a too a fan, 671 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: I you know, I do have some concerns about him 672 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: long term. Are the Dolphins going to stick with him 673 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: long term? Can he be a dynamic quarterback or is 674 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: he you know, has he approached his ceiling already? Um 675 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: starting to wonder about that. So that's kind of what 676 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: kept Jalen Waddle at five. But the fact that right 677 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: now it looks like that Dolphins passing game is is 678 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: pretty much built around him is pretty much a lock 679 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: um Cooper Cup. Obviously, It's it's hard to keep him 680 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: out after what he has done. Tyreek Hill sort of 681 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,959 Speaker 1: same situation because he and Patrick Mahomes looked like they 682 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: are set to you uh, to eat together for for 683 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: quite a long time. But yeah, are one through five 684 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: absolutely identical when it comes to the Dynasty wide receiver rankings. So, um, 685 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: I was just saying, like, you know, they're no games 686 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: this weekend. I don't know what there's a Pro Bowl. Um, 687 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: I know we'll we'll do a Thursday show. But it's 688 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: sort of weird to not have like a DFS lineup 689 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: slate to look forward to this week. I don't I 690 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: don't know if if that's weird to you. Yeah, nicolet's 691 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: very happy that there's no football on this weekend. She 692 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: but but like I'm going to the Super Bowl experience. 693 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go check that out. That that here in 694 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: downtown l A. So it's not a completely football free 695 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: weekend for me, but I'm sad man I after next Sunday, 696 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 1: that's it for months. And like, I know, initially the 697 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: break is like, oh, we get to like but then 698 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: you know, we get a little bit into it. I'm like, 699 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: I kind of miss watching football. I was just saying, 700 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: I mean, but soon pictures and catchers are supposed to report, 701 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: but maybe not, Like I don't that's a whole kid. 702 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: April might just be all about the NFL Draft, you know, 703 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: I mean, it might be. It's it's I don't even 704 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: want to talk about that part, like the whole the 705 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: whole lockout thing going on in baseball. So all right, anyway, 706 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: I think it's a good point to stop this one here. 707 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: That'll do it for this edition of the NFL Fantasy 708 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: Football Podcast. Stay Happy, safe and healthy, Get vaxed, where 709 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: a mask do good Live? Well, we'll talk to you 710 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: on Thursday.
