It is great to be with you for 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.840 the full two hour extended edition of Fantasy Football Weekly 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:36.240 as we embark on a new season. My co host 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:38.680 today Matt Harrison, Brian Johnson. 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:43.279 Hello, guys, Hey gay, Welcome back twenty nine time. 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:50.080 Twenty not yes, twenty nine times we've done a season 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:51.560 of Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.560 I actually watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off on Netflix last night, 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:58.440 you did, just to prepare for the arinding the tape. 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.320 It's such a great movie. I think I watched it 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.120 about five years ago. I thought it held up very 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:05.800 well from being it's just so quite essentially eighties. Yeah, 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.080 but Ferris Bueller's it's I think it's kind of a 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.600 timeless story, you know, a modern day Tom Sawyer. If 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:15.440 you will, I believe uh plenty to get to over 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.600 the course of this show. It's the full two hour edition. 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.840 We're gonna go through the one thing you need to 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.080 know about every team's off season. So if you've been 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.360 snoozing at the wheel a little bit, you know, spending 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.920 time with their kids, otherwise having a life over the 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.600 last six months, we're gonna get you up to speed. 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:32.920 You are one pathetic loser if you've been doing that. 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.520 Yeah, having a life. Yeah, you paying attention to your 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:37.760 family and your job and your Yeah, why would you 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:39.800 do something like that? Would you do that? We're here 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:41.680 to help with the one thing you need to know 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:45.240 about every team. We'll have the Peacock Off. This is 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.480 where we try to find bold predictions that we can 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.600 later on peacock about where is there? 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:53.000 It is? 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:53.520 There? It is? 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.800 Yes, Now, I'm pretty sure we're all batting a thousand 0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:58.440 none our peacock offs too. 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.280 Yeah, I didn't go back and listen. I didn't hear it, 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.280 but I'm confident that I got them all correct. Then 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:06.600 we've got three tough questions, as we always do during 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:10.440 the extended version of Fantasy Football Weekly. And after that, 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:15.760 it's everybody's favorite segment all preseason long, the Reach Around. 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:19.680 M You got any sounders for that can know, well, 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:20.720 there's this. 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:29.320 So kind of yeah, maybe, Oh, now I get it. 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.200 This is where we tell you in every round the 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:42.680 player we would reach around early to go get so 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:44.680 like a player that normally goes in the sixth round, 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.840 we would reach around into the fifth round. Four. So 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.160 let's roll up our sleeves. Let's dive in, guys. The 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.960 one thing you need to know, Matt about the Arizona Cardinals. 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.280 I mean, there's a lot of things you need to know, 0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.200 but the biggest thing you need to know is they're 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.160 going to be maybe the worst team in the NFL 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.960 this year. Kyler Murray probably won't be back until mid 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.040 October at the earliest. DeAndre Hopkins is gone. The best 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.919 thing they did all offseason was the trade they made 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.960 in the NFL Draft, trading number three to Houston, and 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.480 they got the Texans first over or first round pick 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.080 next year. They could have picks one and two in 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.760 the draft. Next year could be the end for Kyler. 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.720 Disagree. I think Houston's gonna be a nice team this year. 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:28.080 Catches my opinion. Let's go to the Atlanta Falcons. Brian, 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:29.400 what's the one thing people need to know? 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.280 I mean, it's all about Bijon Robinson, who they drafted 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.560 eighth overall running back, of course, now a top three 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.080 running back in terms of ADP without having stepped on 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.880 an NFL field, yet generally going ahead of guys like 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:44.160 Nick Chubb Saquon Barkley. The question is will he pay 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.560 off that ADP. Atlanta seems like a great landing spot. 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.840 Last season falcons running backs as a whole. We're second 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.760 in rushing attempts and first in rushing yards. Tyler Algier 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.600 will factor in, but it's all a matter of how 0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:01.760 many carries touches because Bijon is a great receiver as well. 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.600 Will he get in his rookie year. You would think 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:05.560 they're gonna give him a lot, but I think we 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:09.200 shall see. I don't We'll get into all ADYP stuff later, 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.560 but I don't know. If I'm drafting Bijon as a 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.200 top three running back. I still want to see going. Yeah, 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.800 I know you're paying up for it, so we'll see 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.440 what happens. But it's all about how great will Bijon be. 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:20.279 Only time will tell. 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:24.119 Baltimore Ravens had a change at offensive coordinator run heavy. 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:29.240 Greg Roman is out and Todd, don't call me Art 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.719 Monkin in Monkin says he's gonna bring balance to the 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.760 offense and that could unlock more value from Mark andrews 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:40.400 obij Rashod Bateman, say Flowers. But it remains unclear if 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.719 those passing reps are going to take runs away from 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.960 Lamar Jackson, because all things being even, we'd rather have 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:50.719 a carry than a pass from Lamar Jackson. Let's go 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.200 to the Buffalo Bills. One thing you need to know. 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.080 I'm really glad we got rid of this sounder on 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:55.800 the button bar. I don't see it there at least. 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.159 Stefan Diggs is the squeakiest wheel in the league, and 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.960 I'm glad that the squeaky wheel is gone. The mongoose 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:03.800 is probably pretty close to a squeaky wheel. 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:04.920 I'd think he squeaks. 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:09.480 Yeah. He doesn't like his role in Buffalo. Possibly has 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.760 some sort of personal beef with Josh Allen. Sean McDermott 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.720 was concerned about during many camps, and it probably stems 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.600 from Digs only having thirty five yards on ten targets 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.520 in their AFC Divisional loss to Cincinnati. He's sick of 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:25.760 losing in the ten targets ten targets, but then he lost. 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.200 Carolina Panthers. One thing you need to know from their offseason. 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.120 I mean it's one thing, but it's really a lot 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.719 of things. Is just a complete overhaul of the offense 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.760 from last season. Carolina drafted Bryce Young first overall wide 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.560 receiver Jonathan Mingo in the early second round. They also 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.520 added running backs or running back Miles Sanders, and wide 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:47.200 receivers Adam Thielen and Dj Hark and tight end Hayden Hurst. 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.479 All of them are projected starters. So it's a brand 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.760 new team in Carolina. So I know we all probably 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.360 have our favorites in terms of which Panther we would prefer. 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:58.440 I know you're a feeling guy. 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.600 I am charge, I do, I do so I think 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:02.160 he's being vastly underdrafted. 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.360 I'm kind of feeling Hayden Hurst reports out of camp 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.920 as he's been a favorite target for fir Bryce Young. 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.440 But you can't read too much into training camp reports. 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.160 But a whole new offense, so we'll see what they 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:14.279 got in Carolina this year. 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.599 Chicago Bears acquired wide receiver DJ Moore from the Panthers, 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:21.839 bringing really a star receiver to Chicago for the first 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:27.440 time since Brandon Marshall All Sean Jeffrey, Brandon Marshall, I mean, 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.120 they know, I think that kind of era, and I 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.279 think those two may have overlapped with this season. 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.159 Remember the Bernard Baryon year in like the. 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.440 Six right, would he parlayed into a big con machine? 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:38.040 Muhammad? 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.240 Yeah, absolutely. Let's go to the Cincinnati Bengals. One thing 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:42.160 you need to know about. 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.960 Their off season, outside of Joe Burrow's calf injury, which 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:48.280 they're calling still kind of minor, the Bengals offseason was 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.719 a pretty good one. They signed tackle Orlando Brown away 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.880 from the Chiefs, which would help protect Burrow even more. 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.480 They did lose both starting safeties, though, Von Bell and 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.120 Jesse Bates, so the deep middle could be exploited by 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.680 opposing offense. This so Cincinnati might be chucking the ball 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.280 a lot this year, which would be fun. 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.800 There's some real danger with Joe Mixon this case. He's 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:11.120 got actually two pending legal cases. One of them's bad. 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:13.640 I mean, he gave a gun and AMMO to somebody 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.280 who shot the foot off a kid. This is I 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.920 mean the Joe make There might be more danger of 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.640 suspension with Joe Mixon than anybody's talking about right now. 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.680 Dallas cow No, Cleveland Browns, Brian. 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:29.400 In Cleveland. It's Nick Chubb time. My RB one right 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.040 now going into draft season. As it stands, he's always 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:33.920 been legit as an early down back, but we could 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.200 see him operate in a true Bell Cow role in 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.720 terms of being in on third downs every passing down 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:43.240 gone our Kareem Hunting, Denis Johnson, Jerome Ford was set 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.120 as a primary backup, but he recently suffered a hamstring injury. 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.520 He's week to week, so Chubb could be in line 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.240 for a monster workload to start the season and all 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.720 season long. Browns running backs coach Stump Mitchell says Chubb 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.280 can absolutely be a weapon as a pass catcher. He 0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.440 just didn't have a lot of opportunities with Kareem Hunt 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.760 in that role. But again Hunt is gone, so Nick 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.160 Chubb he is my RB one. He's going to have 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:05.960 a big, big year if he stays healthy. 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:07.960 Yeah. I think if you if I had to just 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:12.040 pick one player to have the most touches in the NFL, 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:17.840 Nick Chubb agreed. Dallas Cowboys Ezekiel Elliott is gone, replaced 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:22.200 by nobody Basically, Malik Davis returns from last year, but 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.880 he was woefully unproductive with the carries he was given. 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:29.559 They drafted minute runner Deuce Vaughan in the sixth round. 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.360 People are comparing Vaughn to Darren Sproles, but darren Sproles 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.720 was awesome and everything he did in college at k State. 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.360 Deuce Vaughn is not darren Sproles. 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:42.280 Right now we go, Dowdle is the number two running 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.880 back on the unofficial chart in Dallas. 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.040 We're going to talk more about the Dallas runners later 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:47.480 in the show. 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.520 Tony Poula has never been a workhorse, but changed at 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.560 offensive coordinator. Maybe Brian Schottenheimer is going to switch that up, 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.480 and maybe they just don't have anybody else, so we 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.240 could see a lot of carries for Tony Pollard. Let's 0:08:58.240 --> 0:08:59.880 go to the Denver Broncos. One thing we need to 0:08:59.920 --> 0:09:00.880 know about their officers. 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.479 Well, Sean Payton is the biggest news in Denver this offseason, 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.320 along with a renewed hope in the resurrection of Russell 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:10.000 Wilson's career. Assisting with that, the Broncos did sign two 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:13.080 of the top offensive linemen on the market, Mike mcglinchy 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.360 and Ben Powers and also Javonte Williams looks like he 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.880 might be ready to go for the start of the season. 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.920 It looks promising there, so the Denver offense might be 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:23.679 back on track. 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:25.840 Detroit Lions Brian. 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.840 Major shakeup in the backfield in Detroit with the signing 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.160 of David Montgomery and drafting Jamior Gibbs. DeAndre Swift has gone, 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.760 Jamal Williams has gone, so you would assume David Montgomery 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.439 is going to get the Jamal Williams role. Who Jamal 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:42.000 Williams led the league in rushing touchdowns last year was seventeen, yes, 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.640 and Gibbs is going to get the Swift role per se. 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:50.040 But Gibbs is going well before David Montgomery interrafts right now. 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.040 I don't think people got that right. It's based on 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.200 last year. But we'll see what Gibbs has to offer. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.600 He's kind of like going to be this hybrid running 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:02.360 back wide receiver type player. But yeah, the whole new backfield. 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.480 But I think people are a little low on David 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:05.400 Montgomery right now. 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.640 In Green Bay, obviously Aaron Rodgers is gone. Former first 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.560 round pick Jordan Love gets his turn to start Love's 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.080 only career. His one career start did not go well, 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.559 but that was two years ago in his rookie year. 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.400 Presumably he's learned from the bench. He's got an intriguing 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.240 set of young receivers. You got Christian Watson and Romeo 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.679 Dobbs and second round rookie Jaden Reid, a couple of 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.719 highly drafted tight ends. There's a lot of upside and 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:33.199 downside in this Packers offense based largely on how Love performs. 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:35.559 Let's go to the Houston Texans, Matt, what's the one 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:36.320 thing people need to know? 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.440 It's almost a completely new team. Demiko Ryans is the 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.400 new head coach. CJ. Stroud the new quarterback. They added 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.839 Dalton Schultz, Robert Woods, and Devin Singletary as veterans to 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:49.280 the offense. They grabbed Tank Dell, who they're gushing over 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:51.760 in the third round as a wide receiver, and they 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.920 get John Metchi back from leukemia. This is a brand 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.080 new team in Houston, and they got a lot of 0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:00.360 good defensive veterans that they added as well. So yeah, 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.040 I take back that they're going to be the number 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:04.079 two pick in the draft, because well, they don't have 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:05.880 it and they're probably going to be better than that. 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:07.880 I think they're going to be one of the NFL's 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.720 most improved teams. If you had like what the Jaguars 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.360 did last year, I could it could be coming here 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:14.600 in Houston. I love what they're building. 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:16.680 Well, such a soft division too, they could come in 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:20.520 second place in that division. They're not going to win it. 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:21.720 Problem Bill will win it. 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.120 Probably not, but they'll be They'll be up there. It 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.800 might be a battle longer than people think. Indianapolis Colts, Brian, 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:29.680 what's the one thing people need to know about their offseason? 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.839 Well, I want to talk about how Anthony Richardson is 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:35.600 probably poised to break fantasy football in general. But it's 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.640 really all about Jonathan Taylor right now. Will he really 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:42.199 hold out? And I don't. My gut tells me he won't. 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.920 He can't afford to look at what happened to Le'Veon 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.240 Bell when he held out. Yeah, he regrets it, so 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.240 but right now it's it's it's the JT watch and 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:52.480 as of right now he's not with the team, and 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:56.000 it's really Evan hole. Zach Moss broke his wrist. He's 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.360 out for extended period of time. So you really just 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.360 got to keep an eye on that backfield and will 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:04.920 Taylor actually report to camp anytime soon. But they're at 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:06.240 a standstill as of right now. 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.800 In Jacksonville and what was really a very quiet offseason, 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.480 the Jaguars re signed Evan Ingram to a fat new 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.880 contract where forty two million dollars. He's coming off career 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.600 high in catches receiving yards. He's got some real upside 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.120 if the team starts targeting him in the red zone, 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.000 something that didn't happen last year. But there's Christian Kirk, 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.280 Calvin Ridley's back, as you probably know, and that's there's 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.480 lost only one ball to go around to Jacksonville, and 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.280 a lot of players have wanted let's go to the 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:33.360 Kansas City Chiefs. 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:35.760 Not a ton of movement here in the off season. 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.880 They replaced Orlando Brown with Jowan Taylor at tackle. They 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.599 also let Juju Smith, Schuster and Nicole Hardman walk in 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.160 free agency. But they're gonna be fine. They're gonna be 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:45.800 among the favorites for the Super Bowl again. 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:51.120 All right, very concise, Las Vegas Raiders, Brian. One thing 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:51.880 people need to. 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:55.400 Know, it's more more holdout talk here. I should be 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.440 talking about how Jimmy Garoppolo might break the Raiders offense 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:02.040 in a bad way. But it's well, Josh Jacobs hold out, 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.079 he has not written will he hold out? He hasn't 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.000 reported to Raiders training camp yet, and if he doesn't, 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:10.120 we're looking at ze Mere White as the starting running 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.160 back and his ADP has been creeping up as it 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.280 should be. And I don't know, but if I'm buying 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.280 the Jacobs dip, I think he will report and they 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.600 are surely going to run him into the ground even 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:21.200 more than they. 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.160 Did last exactly now they really, yeah, don't need it. 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:25.240 Definitely not all right. 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:29.480 Final one for this segment. Los Angeles Chargers. Aside from 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.680 getting Austin Eckler some new money, they upgraded offensive coordinator. 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:36.680 They let dank and dunk specialists Joe Lombardi leave, and 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.680 they moved to Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. Moore was 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:43.640 very successful with Dallas and his firing is largely considered 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:48.640 a baffling move by Jerry Jones. I don't understand it. 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.880 Most people don't. Moore used a lot of three receiver 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.280 sets in Dallas that could lend itself to Quentin Johnson 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:58.000 getting some decent early play more leans slightly run heavy 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.680 in Dallas. Maybe that bodes well for Austin Eckler. But overall, 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:05.480 I love the off season move to Kellen Moore for 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:06.679 the Los Angeles Chargers. 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.719 Oh, there's gonna be a lot of Chargers love for 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.960 the remainder of the summer. I think exciting times now. 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:15.600 Absolutely they are a cursed team, though I'm worried about that. 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.000 If you saw the playoff game, yeah, it feels that way. 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:23.440 Would we come back more of the things you need 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.640 to know about every team's off season will wrap up 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.160 the rest of the league Segment number two in moments. 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.680 Welcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly. It's our in season, 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:59.560 full two hour version Fantasy Football Weekly. We're delighted you're 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:03.240 with us for season number twenty nine Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:05.720 We're going through every NFL team and talking about the 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.320 one thing you need to know about their offseason. We 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.360 alphabetically left off basically right in the middle, and we 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.680 pick up with the Los Angeles Rams. Matt. 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:14.200 Yeah. 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:17.200 The Rams model of trading away all of their draft 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.920 picks for established veterans, well, we all knew it wasn't 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.240 very sustainable and the Bill is now due. They were 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.040 amongst the most cash strapped teams this offseason, so they 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:30.360 basically signed nobody. They didn't really lose much either, so 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.920 they're really running it back and hoping that the trio 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.680 of Aaron Donald, Matthew Stafford and Cooper Cup can all 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.640 stay healthy for the full year and propel them to wins. 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:41.520 But it's a pretty low depth chart team. 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:43.280 We're going to talk about at least one of those 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.240 players more in depth later in the show. Brian, what's 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.400 the one thing people need to know about the Dolphins offseason. 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.520 I'm just trying to make sense of this backfield right now. 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:54.800 It's Raheem Moster, Jeff Wilson, and rookie Devin A. Chain, 0:15:55.120 --> 0:16:00.280 who have dubbed one Chains. I'm having trouble drafting any 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.080 of these guys. I don't like it's all about two 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.200 in the past game, but it's what running back is 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:08.280 going to stand out and really be fantasy relevant this year. 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:13.520 People are excited about a Chain, but he's undersized, and 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.240 I don't know. It's this kind of one of the 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.840 more gross muddled backfields. Of course, they could still sign 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:21.360 Dalvin Cook or one of these other free agent running backs. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:25.640 They're inexplicably still out there, not signed yet Leonard Fournette, 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.000 kreem On. But it's just a backfield to keep your 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.720 eye on. But but if one of these backs emerges, they. 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.000 Will have a lot of value for the Vikings. Of course, 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.240 Dalvin Cook was released. Alexander Madison rolls in as the 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.520 presumed workhorse starter. In fact, at halftime of the Thursday 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:43.240 night preseason game, he called himself the belcow of this team. 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.600 So he's certainly under the impression that that Alexander Madison 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.200 is going to be the go to guy. And ty 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.320 Chandler look good in the Thursday night preseason game. I 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:53.720 think he's going to be on the field more than 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:58.480 people think. But it's Madison's job to lose. He he should. 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:00.520 I just think the overall offense been a sort of 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:02.800 so good that virtually anybody can have a certain amount 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.320 of fantasy success, even if you're a modest talent like 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:09.480 Alexander Madison. Matt Let's go to the New England Patriots. 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:11.440 What's the one thing people need to know about their offseason? 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:16.640 It's all Ramandre Stevenson. Maybe he might be the most 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.359 Coyle belly bellcow in the league this year. And I 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:23.080 know you guys, said Nick Chubb, but ramondre Stevenson is 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:26.160 going to be right there. They look like they'll have 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:28.920 one of the worst passing offenses in the league. Adding 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:32.200 Juju Smith Schuster. It doesn't really help that Mac Jones 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:36.359 and Bailey ZAPPI probably splitting snaps again at some point 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:37.280 or another this year. 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.879 They don't seem to like Bailey Zappy as much as 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:41.160 we all like Bailey's. 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.440 They don't seem to like mac Jones all that much either. 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.840 But it's gonna be a mess in the passing game 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:47.520 and they're gonna run all the time in New England. 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.919 Brian, what are the Saints one big story from the offseason. 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.280 Well, it's not Derek Carr. That doesn't move the needle 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.240 for me. It's almost like a lateral move from Andy Dalton. 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:58.920 I'll give Carr the edge over at Dalton. 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:00.800 But it's not as much as people think. 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:04.080 No, definitely not. And I was gonna say, Michael Thomas, 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:06.360 will he actually play? Who knows? Only time will tell. 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.200 No one knows the answer. This is just another backfield 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:11.560 that's really muddled. We do know Alvin Kamara will be 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.760 out for the first three games, suspended for his altercation 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:18.639 over Pro Bowl weekend last year. And then we have 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:22.760 Jamal Williams coming over from the Lions. We mentioned earlier 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.320 that he led the league in rushing touchdowns last year. 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:27.040 I don't think he repeats that with the Saints, and 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.760 they also drafted Kendrey Miller, So it's just another backfield, 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:31.879 like one of these guys has to step up or 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:34.120 it's either just going to be a total mess from 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:37.240 a fantasy perspective, where it's just a a three man 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.240 rotation starting in Week four once Kamara comes back for. 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.360 The Giants, desperately needed receiving help came to New York 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:47.480 when Darren Waller was acquired from the Raiders. Waller posted 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:51.080 monster seasons in twenty nineteen twenty twenty, but injured on 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.480 and off for the last two years, which has got 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:57.000 many fantasy owners concerned. But the bigger reason Waller was 0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:00.440 traded was that Josh McDaniel's just wasn't utilizing him. Even 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:02.320 in the games he played in, he was averaging only 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:05.399 four targets per game and just three catches per game. 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:10.679 Waller is by a mile, the best receiver on the Giants. 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:12.800 And should he play the full season. I think has 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.680 tremendous upside all the way up to potentially tight end two. 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.960 It's so bizarre to me that McDaniels, who had grounk 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:21.480 in New England, couldn't figure out how to use Waller. 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.560 So maybe to me, I think Waller there's a better 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:26.200 chance that Waller's just cooked. 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:28.639 I don't think so, but I hope I want to 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:31.119 believe that was not the case. Let's go to the Jets. 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.040 What's the one thing people need to know about their offseason? 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:37.280 Aaron Rodgers and all of his friends went to New York. 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:42.120 That includes Alan Lazard, Randall Cobb, offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.640 That's the biggest move of the entire offseason in the NFL, 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:48.159 and it was a series of moves. Really, it's now 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:50.400 mister Rogers neighborhood in New York. 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.560
