Speaker 1: You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Fantasy best
Speaker 1: Friends Forever. Welcome inside Studio thirty four for the Fantasy
Speaker 1: best Friends Forever. I am Frank Standfeld. No great susk Oh.
Speaker 1: This guy really needs to catch up on his wrestling
Speaker 1: because now we have a two day hiatus. I don't
Speaker 1: know what's going on with Jesus, he is not here today.
Speaker 1: You heard in the promo before the show, Sweet Sounds
Speaker 1: of Fantasy Taz Jim Day. We'll be joining me as
Speaker 1: well today, Jim. What's going on? Hey, Frankie, how you doing, buddy?
Speaker 1: It's crazy. The next day, we're getting closer to football.
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, um, and we'll talk a little bit
Speaker 1: about that too. Uh. This weekend we got obviously the
Speaker 1: the a f C and the NFC championship games with
Speaker 1: the with the Chiefs hosting the Patriots and the Saints
Speaker 1: hosting the Rams. We'll talk about that a little bit.
Speaker 1: I want to get into the this Cam Newton injury,
Speaker 1: which starting to look a little bit more serious than
Speaker 1: they kind of let on at first. And then I
Speaker 1: really want to dive into this mock draft because we've
Speaker 1: talked about it, kind of spoke about it a little
Speaker 1: bit yesterday at the end of the show, but I
Speaker 1: we haven't really been able to like, all right, let's
Speaker 1: go round by round kind of talk about what happened
Speaker 1: in this draft, will kind of takeaways. We have strategies
Speaker 1: that we noticed things we would do differently, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna try and do this, I would say periodically throughout
Speaker 1: the offseason. I brought it up to Greg. I think
Speaker 1: like once per month we can kind of do a
Speaker 1: football mock draft just to kind of like stay in
Speaker 1: the know of what's going on and see how a
Speaker 1: DP and player movement changes within the draft based on
Speaker 1: you know, new o c s, new coaches, players who
Speaker 1: were being drafted in the NFL draft all season moves.
Speaker 1: So I think I think it'll be a really cool
Speaker 1: exercise to kind of, uh take each month and look
Speaker 1: to see how players are changing moving up and down
Speaker 1: the draft board. But I do want to start with
Speaker 1: that Cam Newton injury Jim really interesting to me. Cam
Speaker 1: Newton comes out today, could miss the entire twenty nineteen
Speaker 1: season if he undergoes another shoulder surgery. Now, Cam Newton's
Speaker 1: not playing this weekend the Panthers and not like the playoffs.
Speaker 1: But I still think that this is huge information because
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people still had him ranked
Speaker 1: very early ranks. Now for had him rankings. You know,
Speaker 1: a top ten quarterback. When he's on the field, we
Speaker 1: know what he can do. He actually performed quite well
Speaker 1: this year with Norv Turner as the o C. There,
Speaker 1: we know everything that Christian McAffrey was able to do.
Speaker 1: Owner David Tepper has already hinted at that, says, well,
Speaker 1: I got a quote from David Tepper. If you told
Speaker 1: me he took a year off and could recover and
Speaker 1: be fully recovered and everything else, and that's what it
Speaker 1: took an extra year. Why wouldn't you do that? So
Speaker 1: it's you're kind of reading between the lines here, But
Speaker 1: a quote like that from the owner tells me it's
Speaker 1: not outside the realm of possibility. They could sit out
Speaker 1: an entire year. And we just saw another quarterback and
Speaker 1: Andrew look in a similar situation of this, where he
Speaker 1: did sit out an entire year. So I kind of
Speaker 1: throw this one your way, Jim, and then we'll talk
Speaker 1: about like the snowball effect, like how it affects everybody
Speaker 1: else if that were to happen. What's your take on
Speaker 1: on this Cam Newton news. Look, this is just a
Speaker 1: possibility of what could possibly happen. Uh, you know, there's
Speaker 1: no guarantee any of this happens. There's no guarant he
Speaker 1: even needs a second surgery as of yet, So you know,
Speaker 1: it's really gonna come down to that, does he need
Speaker 1: a second surgery and if so, what are the what's
Speaker 1: the productnosis after that? This is just you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: be honest, it's more like they're just finding something to
Speaker 1: write about in a day when there wasn't much to
Speaker 1: write about. Um, And this is big news, so everybody's
Speaker 1: going to talk about it. And I get that that's
Speaker 1: what newspapers are supposed to do. Um, But the fact
Speaker 1: that the matter is, we have no clue if this
Speaker 1: is gonna be reality and not. The only good thing
Speaker 1: for guys like you and me is it just gives
Speaker 1: us something else to talk about. That's exactly right him.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm trying to find something here because to me,
Speaker 1: it's it's the middle of the week, it's Wednesday, it's
Speaker 1: hump day. Is it too early to start talking about
Speaker 1: the chiefs in the past. It's probably not too early,
Speaker 1: But you know, I still need to do my digging.
Speaker 1: You know, I thought I did enough digging last week,
Speaker 1: and you know, I ended up missing out on every
Speaker 1: single one of my bets, and you know, I owned
Speaker 1: up to it on Monday, full transparency. You know my
Speaker 1: bets on Friday. We're brutal. And everything I've always told
Speaker 1: Greg is you know, what I tell people to do
Speaker 1: is what I do myself. So maybe I should start
Speaker 1: digging a little bit more into these games now. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we're trying, we're trying to find something to talk about.
Speaker 1: I just thought it was interesting, uh that quote from
Speaker 1: the owner there in Carolina. We know that Taylor Heineke
Speaker 1: and Kyle Allen were the next man up this year.
Speaker 1: Now maybe they would go out and and try and
Speaker 1: get a more formidable backup quarterback. Not that those guys
Speaker 1: can't be, but they're just really not proven. Um, but
Speaker 1: what would it like, what would the the snowball effect
Speaker 1: be for everyone else? Because it's easy to say, all right, well,
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey would get more work, but more work. Can
Speaker 1: you really get more work? I don't think he's gonna
Speaker 1: get more work. You can't say that. And and we
Speaker 1: saw Ron Vera come out at the end of the
Speaker 1: year and say, you know, maybe we do need to
Speaker 1: dial back Christian McCaffrey a little bit heading into next year.
Speaker 1: And then if there's no Cam Newton, we're talking about
Speaker 1: a situation where we've seen talented running backs before not
Speaker 1: able to perform because the quarterback that's on their respective
Speaker 1: teams is just not good enough to you know, drive
Speaker 1: the ball down the field whatsoever. We saw that this
Speaker 1: year with David Johnson. Spoke about him a little bit yesterday,
Speaker 1: but he underperformed. We saw that, you know too, three
Speaker 1: years ago with with Todd Gurley, when you know it
Speaker 1: was Jeff Fisher and the quarterback situation with a mess,
Speaker 1: it was Jared Goff as a rookie. So I do
Speaker 1: think that there's kind of like snowball effects here where Yes,
Speaker 1: it's very early, we're talking about possibilities, but this is
Speaker 1: very big because for people who have Christian McCaffrey and
Speaker 1: keeper dynasty, you want to be excited about him for
Speaker 1: for years to come. But if Cam Newton six sits
Speaker 1: out a year and that changes everything to me, well,
Speaker 1: I agree. I think every single offensive player takes a hit,
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. And a lot of people
Speaker 1: want to say, oh, yeah, but you know, it benefits
Speaker 1: the running backs because young you know, young quarterbacks like
Speaker 1: to check down to the running backs, and that's absolutely
Speaker 1: false because the fact of the matter is that that's
Speaker 1: another talent. It takes time to learn how to get
Speaker 1: three for uestions and then come to the check down
Speaker 1: to the running back. It's not as easy as oh,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna step back for the running back unless
Speaker 1: that's in the game plan. Now. Fortunately for them, that
Speaker 1: will be in the game plan a lot for uh,
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey because that's what he does. Unfortunately, defenses know it,
Speaker 1: and with a different quarterback back there that not really
Speaker 1: as good a runner and not good as good a
Speaker 1: passer as Cam is that they're gonna be able to
Speaker 1: load up and try and stop that, So all of
Speaker 1: the offensive players would take a hit of Cam set
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it unless they went out and
Speaker 1: got another guy. But they don't really have the cap
Speaker 1: move to really go out and spend a lot of
Speaker 1: money on a quarterback for one year. So it's gonna
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how they play that if that
Speaker 1: really does come, uh, you know to fruition, if that's
Speaker 1: what actually happens, Jim, do you think there's any regret
Speaker 1: whatsoever that the Panthers A C. J. Anderson has done
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and towards the end of the season,
Speaker 1: they're like, well, you know, we kind of had a
Speaker 1: formidable backup for Christian McCaffrey and the guy that potentially
Speaker 1: he could have shared a workload with. I mean, even
Speaker 1: if it's only five to ten touches, see Anderson, see
Speaker 1: what you want about the guy, you would call him
Speaker 1: a meat ball. I mean everyone on Saturdays, you know,
Speaker 1: making fun of his weight. But he's been awesome and
Speaker 1: for further uh pushes the agenda of the running backs
Speaker 1: don't matter debate, But do you think there's any regret
Speaker 1: there from the Carolina Panthers, Well, there probably is, but
Speaker 1: again he wouldn't have gotten much work behind Christian McCaffrey
Speaker 1: either way. I mean, he is their lead dog, there
Speaker 1: is no doubt about it, as a coaching staff that
Speaker 1: you know likes to run one back and that's what
Speaker 1: they do, so he wouldn't got much play. It worked
Speaker 1: out much better for him anyway. Now he's got a
Speaker 1: chance to go to the super Bowl and and went
Speaker 1: possibly win a super Bowl. So he landed in a
Speaker 1: great position for him and they're using him and you know,
Speaker 1: you can say what you want about to wait, but
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago he was out of football and
Speaker 1: living a good life and not worried about it. So
Speaker 1: you know, I'm pretty sure he stopped working out and
Speaker 1: all that crap and didn't really think he'd get another
Speaker 1: shot this year. This just happened to fall in his
Speaker 1: lap and he's still showing people what he could do
Speaker 1: matching when he gets back in shape. I want to
Speaker 1: put a little bow on this Panthers thing, So just
Speaker 1: something to pay attention to, you know, don't lose any
Speaker 1: sleep over it. But you know, if you you have McCaffrey,
Speaker 1: or d J. Moore or Curtis Samuel in Your Keeper
Speaker 1: or Dynasty Leagues. Let's kind of keep this in the
Speaker 1: back of your mind, this Cam Newton situation. I think
Speaker 1: it's one that's uh that we're gonna have to follow
Speaker 1: close see throughout the offseason, and you know, we'll pay
Speaker 1: attention more when the time comes, obviously, like if he
Speaker 1: has shoulder surgery, that will be a huge, a huge storyline,
Speaker 1: but it is something to pay attention to when it
Speaker 1: comes to the likes of Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers. Jim,
Speaker 1: there was a there was a tweet going around today
Speaker 1: that everyone's kind of quote tweeting and giving their responses.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you on the spot a little bit here.
Speaker 1: This was from Eric Alper on Twitter. At that Eric Alper,
Speaker 1: what movie traumatized you as a kid? I thought this
Speaker 1: was It kind of made me think a little bit.
Speaker 1: And I'm seeing responses from other people. I saw some
Speaker 1: like the Poulter Guist whatever. My answer was The Shining,
Speaker 1: And I don't know how I ended up watching The
Speaker 1: Shining as a kid. I think it was like I
Speaker 1: stood up late one night, like after watching wrestling and
Speaker 1: it just kind of like came on. I think it
Speaker 1: was like up n at the time, the shiny I
Speaker 1: mean the scene was like all the blood flooding hallways
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. Was there a movie that traumatized
Speaker 1: you as a kid, Jim, Oh, I'd have to say, Bambi, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah when when, yeah, when Bambi's mother died.
Speaker 1: I mean that was that was that was tear jerking.
Speaker 1: I mean, oh my god, I go I couldn't live
Speaker 1: with it. Look at this. Do you believe that I
Speaker 1: got a nice bridge for you? Um? For me? A
Speaker 1: movie like that, I'd have to say was probably, uh,
Speaker 1: probably Carry Carry was pretty pretty outside the box like that,
Speaker 1: And especially when the hand at the end comes out
Speaker 1: of the grave. I was it that Carrie? I mean
Speaker 1: it might be I've never seen the movie. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think, Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure it was Carrie.
Speaker 1: And at the very end of the movie, a hand
Speaker 1: comes out of the grave at the very end, and
Speaker 1: a guy one of my friends was sitting behind me
Speaker 1: grabbed my shoulder at the exact same time. I freaked.
Speaker 1: Carry six. This is the movie where like the ladies
Speaker 1: covered in blood, right, Like that's kind of like the
Speaker 1: famous poster. Yeah, watch this, I've never seen it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was pretty wild. I gotta check that out alright.
Speaker 1: So carry for me the Shining. You give us your
Speaker 1: responses in the chat uh comments call in eight four
Speaker 1: f three six seven nine. As Jim mentioned, it's Wednesday,
Speaker 1: it's hump day. Trying to find things to talk about.
Speaker 1: We're talking about Cam Newton, talk about you know, movies
Speaker 1: that traumatizes. For Jim, it was Bambi and Carrie. For me,
Speaker 1: it was The Shining. The reason why I was I
Speaker 1: was a little flustered when they went to you, if
Speaker 1: we could put Jim back on the screen. This is
Speaker 1: what I kinda I like having Steve downstay. A lot
Speaker 1: of people don't know Steve. Steve is like our super
Speaker 1: graphics guy. The guy just comes up with like an
Speaker 1: awesome BFF frame for Jim Day, just like on the fly.
Speaker 1: So I was kind of it caught me off guard
Speaker 1: because I wasn't expecting it. You look pretty good inside
Speaker 1: that frame, Jim. You might you might even look you
Speaker 1: sound good singing too. You said, yeah, I heard you
Speaker 1: practicing yesterday on the Frenzy. If you ask me, I
Speaker 1: think this frame looks a little bit better than than
Speaker 1: the Fantasy football Frenzy frame that. That's just my opinion.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw that out there. I like how the
Speaker 1: bottom curves up on the two sides. It gives me
Speaker 1: a nice little cot very. It's very innovative, like it
Speaker 1: a lot. Uh. Speaking of the frenzy, I'm I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to start a show feud again or anything, but
Speaker 1: a question in the morning after I saw Corey coming
Speaker 1: back from a break singing and dancing to UH to
Speaker 1: an R and B song, I think the BFFs are
Speaker 1: are I think they're kind of I think I think
Speaker 1: we're starting to latch onto everybody a little bit. Like
Speaker 1: you got Jim singing do do do out of nowhere?
Speaker 1: You got you got Corey singing and dancing coming out
Speaker 1: of breaks. Now I kind of like, where where where
Speaker 1: this is all moving? Jim? Yeah, I don't Jim. Jim
Speaker 1: prefer sticking to his drum roll. Um. I can't blame
Speaker 1: him for that one. Yeah, you actually I know that.
Speaker 1: You say that you you play in a band, Jim,
Speaker 1: You kind of like, I don't. I don't play in
Speaker 1: the band I play. I haven't played in the band
Speaker 1: in years. But I have a mini studio downstairs that
Speaker 1: I have some friends would do some work down there.
Speaker 1: So you do the drumming coming back from break? Is
Speaker 1: that actually what you play? Is that? What? Or do
Speaker 1: you do? Like guitar? I played quite a few different instruments.
Speaker 1: I played drums, I played a little bass. I play
Speaker 1: pretty much all the brass instruments. I play a little saxophone.
Speaker 1: Music has always been my love. I played. I played
Speaker 1: trumpet four years in high school. Ah see, That's what
Speaker 1: I started out with in third grade, was playing trumpet.
Speaker 1: I played it all the way up until ninth grade.
Speaker 1: And then I had a music teacher in high school
Speaker 1: who decided he was going to teach me every brand
Speaker 1: brass instrument every year, baritone, tuba, trombone. So I learned
Speaker 1: them all in four years from him, and he was
Speaker 1: just awesome. I spent almost all of my English class
Speaker 1: courses in the band room learning how to play brass instruments.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're way soon the F and T s
Speaker 1: y uh symphonic band myself, we'll have uh. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I can see Greg playing like a like a xylophone
Speaker 1: or something, you know, like banging the little bells, uh, Corey.
Speaker 1: I don't know, he could be like a bass drum
Speaker 1: like in the background something like that. We'll figure it
Speaker 1: out anyway. I did want to touch on the this
Speaker 1: Chief's Patriots game a little bit with what's going on
Speaker 1: with uh the weather and then also with this the
Speaker 1: super wolf blood moon thing is it's actually kind of
Speaker 1: an awesome story, Jim, where you know, the Chiefs kind
Speaker 1: of need every ounce of like mystique or you know,
Speaker 1: magic that they can get because we already know the uh,
Speaker 1: the magic and the mystique that lives behind Brady and
Speaker 1: Belichick and the Patriots this time of season. But I
Speaker 1: don't know, have you seen this story with the super
Speaker 1: wolf blood moon that apparent only is going to be
Speaker 1: evident in the sky in Kansas City, Missouri. There you
Speaker 1: go the super wolf blood moon which will be uh
Speaker 1: shining its brightest at eleven twelve pm Sunday night, which
Speaker 1: is kind of like an hour or hour and a
Speaker 1: half after the game is supposed to end. Um, have
Speaker 1: you seen this story? And no? Is there something mystical
Speaker 1: I play here, Jim? Because we need all we could
Speaker 1: get in we as in like anti Patriots nation, like
Speaker 1: we need everything that we can get here, Jim. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, look this this back in the day when
Speaker 1: things like this happened, a full lunar eclipse on top
Speaker 1: of a blue moon. Uh. And it doesn't happen very
Speaker 1: often in the history, but back in the old days,
Speaker 1: this is where God's came from. That. You know, gods
Speaker 1: were developed because they could do things like that, and
Speaker 1: they were you know, reverend because of that. And you know,
Speaker 1: there's still too many people I believe in that that stuff.
Speaker 1: This's just just a happening that happens on a cyclical
Speaker 1: basis every certain amount of time, and you know, not
Speaker 1: really a lot of mystical stuff to it. But you know,
Speaker 1: the chiefs will grab it any straw they can beat
Speaker 1: the beat Brady and the Patriots. It's just as simple
Speaker 1: as that, as like everybody else's do. Nobody wants spell
Speaker 1: Check and the Patriots to get there, except for their
Speaker 1: their fans. Nobody outside of that group wants them to
Speaker 1: get there. Again, are you Are you a Patriots hater, Jim?
Speaker 1: Or you just kind of like whatever, Like you respect them,
Speaker 1: like I respect the Patriots. I'm just tired of watching them.
Speaker 1: I feel, I think like a lot of people feel
Speaker 1: the same way, but Giants fans are kind of all
Speaker 1: over the Matt greg doesn't really says he doesn't really
Speaker 1: care about the Patriots. Are Are you in that camp
Speaker 1: or are you just kind of like tired of as well?
Speaker 1: I love the Patriots. I know for a fact when
Speaker 1: we play, all right, Jim, you're gonna have to go no, no,
Speaker 1: just because I know if we get there to play
Speaker 1: and we'll beat him. Outside of that, you know, I
Speaker 1: have not but respect for them. Things that they've done
Speaker 1: is just incredible. And you can say what you want
Speaker 1: about them in all the the flake gates and all
Speaker 1: the other crap they goes on, not like any other
Speaker 1: team doesn't do that stuff. I have nothing but respect.
Speaker 1: They just keep winning. Don't believe the hype and everything
Speaker 1: that you've heard about the weather right now in this game,
Speaker 1: it's going to be a high of nineteen degrees, very cold,
Speaker 1: but no win, no precipitation. The over undern game is dropping.
Speaker 1: We'll be back right after this. Fantasy Best Friends Forever

Speaker 1: at roto underscore Frank if you want to follow along
Speaker 1: to see what we're talking about. This was a twelve
Speaker 1: team PPR. We only did six rounds. The first round
Speaker 1: looked like this, Sae Kwon Barkley, Levian Bell pick number two.
Speaker 1: Kind of polarizing pick. We talked about it. Todd Gurley
Speaker 1: pick number three, Ezekiel Elliott, Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, James Conner,
Speaker 1: Jujuice Smith, Schuster, Julio Jones, Melvin Gordon, Michael Thomas, and
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams. So we have one, two, three, four wide
Speaker 1: receivers in the first round, and we have eight running backs.
Speaker 1: For everyone who was saying, you know, it was gonna
Speaker 1: be as running back heavy as it is it's going
Speaker 1: to be heading into next year, Jim I was a
Speaker 1: little surprised to see that there were still four wide
Speaker 1: receivers in the first round. That kind of feels like
Speaker 1: where we've been at the past couple of years, Like
Speaker 1: four or five wide receivers in the first round, six seven,
Speaker 1: eight running backs. That kind of seems like where it's been. Um. So,
Speaker 1: I don't know that we see a huge change in
Speaker 1: terms of uh, you know, the running back the first
Speaker 1: round just being food with running backs. What was your
Speaker 1: takeaway for the first round? Well, it's definitely some people
Speaker 1: in here trying to get us to talk about their
Speaker 1: picks and I get that, um, And you know, it
Speaker 1: is what it is. It trying to sensationalize it is
Speaker 1: one thing. Trying to do it to where you're helping
Speaker 1: others is a different thing. Um. You know, I just
Speaker 1: don't see how you can put ballot number two with
Speaker 1: the unknowns that that sit there. And you know, Juju
Speaker 1: Smith had a great year, but with all the unknowns there,
Speaker 1: how could you have him as the first wide receiver
Speaker 1: off the board. Outside of that, the numbers are close,
Speaker 1: I mean really depends on who you're drafting with. If
Speaker 1: you're drafting with a bunch of Sharks, there could be
Speaker 1: a lot more wide receivers go in the first round
Speaker 1: because they like that wide receivers start outside of that.
Speaker 1: Most normal common drafts, running backs are gonna go somewhere
Speaker 1: in the eight to four or you know, seven to
Speaker 1: five ranking in the first round. And you know, the
Speaker 1: funny part is gonna be next year whether or not. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's people out there reaching for Pat Mahomes in the
Speaker 1: first I won't be surprised if it happens. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you that, especially in six point passing touchdown leagues. It's
Speaker 1: just what he did this year, how far ahead he was.
Speaker 1: H then you know, even the next closest quarterback, who
Speaker 1: I believe was Andrew Look right, that finishes a QB two.
Speaker 1: I'll pull that up and see what the difference was.
Speaker 1: But I do know that Patrick Mahomes was far and
Speaker 1: away the best quarterback. It wasn't really close, Levan Bell.
Speaker 1: The number two overall pick was Dame Martinez Spitting speeds.
Speaker 1: You watch him here on the network. You hear him
Speaker 1: every morning with Rodal Experts in the morning and fs
Speaker 1: T with Scott Engel and Mike Bluett, respectively. You see
Speaker 1: him Tuesday and Thursday nights here doing the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: So you want to call in ask him about his pick.
Speaker 1: Of Levian Bell at number two overall. You can ask
Speaker 1: you certainly can ask him, and you can do that yourself.
Speaker 1: What he told me is that his expectation would be
Speaker 1: Levan Bell lands with the Colts. We've kind of talked
Speaker 1: about that a little bit over the past couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: I don't see that happening, even if, even if, even
Speaker 1: if it doesn't, it won't happen. It won't happen, happen,
Speaker 1: I agree with it won't happen. He will be He'll
Speaker 1: still be a first round pick. He won't be the
Speaker 1: second overall pick. I think he's kind of closer to
Speaker 1: you know, where James Conner went in this In this draft,
Speaker 1: seventh overall, Melvin Gordon went tenth overall. That was my pick.
Speaker 1: I think Levian Bell is kind of closer to that range. Um,
Speaker 1: even if he ends up with the Jets, I still
Speaker 1: think he's a borderline first round pick. You know, Jim,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try and go the entire show today without
Speaker 1: talking about the Jets head coach. Um, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: call it. I'm not gonna refer to his name anymore
Speaker 1: because I've been talking about him too much. But when
Speaker 1: was the last time that in New York Jet was
Speaker 1: a first round pick for fantasy. I actually had to
Speaker 1: think about it, and I think the answer is Curtis Martin.
Speaker 1: To be honest, Oh yeah, yeah, I have to agree
Speaker 1: with you. I can't think of anybody else that ever
Speaker 1: had that possibility, and even he was, you know, late
Speaker 1: first round. Um, so yeah, I can't think of anybody else,
Speaker 1: to be honest with it, It's been a long time.
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall was closed a couple of years ago after
Speaker 1: the huge season he had with the Jets. I feel
Speaker 1: like he was the second round pick that year. There
Speaker 1: was some hype around Sean Green like during the Rex
Speaker 1: Ryan days, but he was never a first round pick either.
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting, do you do? You agree? And
Speaker 1: there's still a lot that needs to happen with like
Speaker 1: the Jets coaching staff and stuff. But if Levin Bell
Speaker 1: went to the Jets, it's still not an ideal situation
Speaker 1: for him fantasy wise. Would he still be a first
Speaker 1: round pick if he's on the Jets. Look, he's got
Speaker 1: the talent. We know that. You know, he's definitely a
Speaker 1: talented man, and he's gonna get a chance somewhere. Uh, look,
Speaker 1: with the chats, I think he could put up good numbers.
Speaker 1: I think it actually helps Donald to have a running
Speaker 1: back like him that you know, they can't just sit
Speaker 1: back and pin their your ears on trying to stop Donald,
Speaker 1: So I think that helps. Um. It really just so
Speaker 1: much they have to do there. There's so many pieces
Speaker 1: they need to fix and and bring in. You know what,
Speaker 1: whether it's gonna be wide receivers, what are they gonna
Speaker 1: do with that offensive line? And if they want to
Speaker 1: improve that or not, I think they should. So there's
Speaker 1: so many different pieces that are gonna come into play here.
Speaker 1: But I think he's gonna be a good running back
Speaker 1: wherever he goes. I think he's good enough that it
Speaker 1: wasn't just the Pittsburgh system that made him good. I
Speaker 1: think he's good enough on his own to do it anywhere.
Speaker 1: So it'd be interesting to see where he does land.
Speaker 1: But there's no just just no way. Everybody should just
Speaker 1: stop the Indie talk. There's absolutely no way he goes
Speaker 1: to Indy. I guarantee you sounds like you need to
Speaker 1: make a bet with with Dane Martinez. Dan Martinez being
Speaker 1: the betting man that he is I'm sure he would
Speaker 1: take you up on that. Um, well, we'll set it up.
Speaker 1: We'll set it up. I'll be the voice of Jim
Speaker 1: Day when I see Dane Martinez in the fantasy pit
Speaker 1: of misery. Over the next couple of days, I see
Speaker 1: a couple of people in the chat talking about Latainian
Speaker 1: Tomlinson when he was a member of the Jets. He
Speaker 1: was all right with the Jets, but that was kind
Speaker 1: of the twilight of his career. He was. He was
Speaker 1: not a first round pick at that point anymore. I
Speaker 1: remember I had him in fantasy. He was still old right.
Speaker 1: Looking at his two thousand ten with the Jets, nine
Speaker 1: fourteen rushing yards, six touchdowns, he had fifty two receptions,
Speaker 1: but he wasn't anywhere close to a first round pick.
Speaker 1: I feel like he was being drafted more as like
Speaker 1: a flex option that year. How do you remember going down, Jim,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he was close first he
Speaker 1: was definitely, Yeah, he wasn't a first round pick by
Speaker 1: that time. Like he said, it was at the end
Speaker 1: of his career, and you know, most of us realized
Speaker 1: that he wasn't gonna put up those kinds of numbers,
Speaker 1: even with them, um, and he didn't. I mean, he
Speaker 1: had a good season, but not a ridiculous season. And
Speaker 1: you know, the proper move was not to draft him
Speaker 1: in the first. But I'm sure in some drafts somebody
Speaker 1: out there saw the name drafted him in the first somewhere,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't a consensus at all. Most had him going.
Speaker 1: I do believe in those last couple of years, like
Speaker 1: third round with when it comes to Patrick Mahomes, I
Speaker 1: said I was gonna pull this up. In six point
Speaker 1: passing touchdown leagues, he was the number one quarterback. He threw.
Speaker 1: He had five hundred seventeen fantasy points. The new or
Speaker 1: two quarterback was actually Matt Ryan. It was not Andrew Luck.
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck was fourth. Matt Ryan had four hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty three, so he was nearly a hundred fantasy points
Speaker 1: behind Patrick Mahomes. Um. But again, we you know, we
Speaker 1: gotta project forward. Just because Patrick Mahomes tood for five
Speaker 1: thousand yards and fifty touchdowns this year doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: he's going to do it next year. But I do
Speaker 1: still agree with you. I think, you know, especially in
Speaker 1: some of those you know, some some of the like
Speaker 1: those standard home league kind of leagues like I could
Speaker 1: see someone reaching for a Patrick Hohomes in the first round. Jim,
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring up this strategy to you, and
Speaker 1: it's kind of a zig when everyone else is zagging
Speaker 1: for next year. Adam Roynas took Devantae Adams twelfth overall.
Speaker 1: You can hear Adam Roynas on the network every week
Speaker 1: night seven eight pm for Scout Fantasy Sports. But he
Speaker 1: took Devantae Adams and Nick Chubb. I have no problem
Speaker 1: with those picks. I actually like those picks a lot.
Speaker 1: Something I said once the regular season actually ended was
Speaker 1: I think a viable strategy for next year would be
Speaker 1: pairing guy if you're at the end to the first round.
Speaker 1: Devontae Adams and Tyree killed together because to me, it's
Speaker 1: the perfect combination of war and ceiling. Because Davanta Adams,
Speaker 1: as great as he was this year, I think that
Speaker 1: there's another level for him. I think he can get
Speaker 1: even better. He did what he did this year, finishing
Speaker 1: as a top three wide receiver. I believe he wasn't
Speaker 1: the number one wide receiver through sixteen weeks, but he
Speaker 1: didn't play week seventeen. If Aaron Rodgers gets back to
Speaker 1: being Aaron Rodgers. I mean, there's another level that Davanta
Speaker 1: Adams can get to. There was no wide receiver more
Speaker 1: consistent than him at least eight yards or a touchdown
Speaker 1: in every single game that he played. And then we
Speaker 1: know the upside that Tyreek Hill has. So everyone's saying
Speaker 1: running back, running back, running back, Jim, But I think
Speaker 1: if you para guy like Davanta Adams with Tyree Hill
Speaker 1: at the end of the first round for next season,
Speaker 1: that's fun. It's not gonna be fun trying to figure
Speaker 1: out your running back position, but I'll be hard pressed
Speaker 1: to find a better wide receiver duo than those two
Speaker 1: heading into next year. It's not even about that though,
Speaker 1: It's about picking the right ones, um the duo, you know,
Speaker 1: the first duos, whatever you pick, whatever positions, it's about
Speaker 1: you know, hitting the right guys. And you know, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: there's a good chance that no matter who gets picked
Speaker 1: in the top twelve, five of them aren't gonna live
Speaker 1: up to expectations. That's just the norm. We see that
Speaker 1: every year. Five first round picks usually just don't live
Speaker 1: up to, you know, everybody's expectations and her teams and
Speaker 1: so it You know, you could you could say that
Speaker 1: about any one of these combinations. You know, you give
Speaker 1: me DeAndre Hopkins and and Adams or Hopkins and Hill
Speaker 1: or any of those guys I think are great combinations.
Speaker 1: But they have to hit, they have to stay healthy,
Speaker 1: they have to be on the field, and they have
Speaker 1: to keep making plays no matter what their names are. So,
Speaker 1: you know, one of my things, and I try to
Speaker 1: tell everybody this is don't get locked into positional wants
Speaker 1: in rounds. Take you know, the especially early in the draft.
Speaker 1: Take take the best player available to you at that
Speaker 1: point in the draft, and be happy with it. You know,
Speaker 1: he's got to hit, of course, he's got to stay healthy,
Speaker 1: of course, But the same thing goes for every single
Speaker 1: one of them. Take the best player available. And then
Speaker 1: as you build into the draft, then you start to
Speaker 1: build up your you know your bench, and you know
Speaker 1: your other starters. But those first first few rounds should
Speaker 1: always be best player available. As far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 1: When you go into a draft thicket, okay, well I
Speaker 1: want to get wide receiver wide receiver to start, you're
Speaker 1: limiting in your entire options. If I had gone into
Speaker 1: this draft ticket, Okay, I'm gonna get a running back
Speaker 1: and round one and a wide receiver in round two,
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm gonna do. I wouldn't have got
Speaker 1: David Johnson in the middle of the second round. And
Speaker 1: to me, David Johnson Mills second round is how the
Speaker 1: hell do you pass up on that? People, you know,
Speaker 1: say what you want that this was a bad year.
Speaker 1: He was still a top ten running back. And I
Speaker 1: have to expect this offense gets better next year with
Speaker 1: the changes. Uh, you know, I think they're gonna be
Speaker 1: putting the ball up more often. I think they have
Speaker 1: to do better. They can't do any worse. So, you know,
Speaker 1: when you put that into perspective, if I go into
Speaker 1: that second round knowing I'm gonna grab a wide receiver,
Speaker 1: then it just limits all my possibilities. And I think
Speaker 1: that's a good point. How many questions do we get
Speaker 1: come July, come August, Jim, where it's like, how should
Speaker 1: I start my draft? Should I start my draft R
Speaker 1: B RB? Should I start, you know, in the first
Speaker 1: four round? Should I go RB RB, wide receiver, wide receiver?
Speaker 1: There's a ton of questions like that every single year,
Speaker 1: And Jim's right, I mean, you do take best player available.
Speaker 1: It's it's a cliche. It's a fantasy cliche. It's been
Speaker 1: around forever, but I do still believe in it. And
Speaker 1: it's you can't win your league in the first round,
Speaker 1: but you could certainly lose your league in the first round.
Speaker 1: And Jim mentioned it every single year, there's gonna be
Speaker 1: you know, three, four, five different players who are drafted
Speaker 1: in the first fifteen picks that let people down. I
Speaker 1: have preseason a d p up right now. Levian Bell
Speaker 1: was taken second overall, probably the biggest bust in in
Speaker 1: fantasy football history. You know, not because of injury or
Speaker 1: anything else, but we all know what went down with
Speaker 1: Levian Bell. Leonard Fournette was the eighth player being drafted overall.
Speaker 1: Bust uh Kareem Hunt depends on who you ask. When
Speaker 1: he was on the field, he was not a bus
Speaker 1: but the fact that he only played you know, nine
Speaker 1: ten games, whatever it was, he busted. Um Odell Beckham
Speaker 1: was going twelfth overall. When he's on the field, sure
Speaker 1: he was great, but he still didn't play the final
Speaker 1: what four or five weeks of the season. That's four
Speaker 1: players right there, and if you extended to the thirteenth
Speaker 1: pick Dalvin Cook. He was undoubtedly a bus is here.
Speaker 1: So that's five players in the top thirteen of a
Speaker 1: DP from this past season that busted. And you're right,
Speaker 1: it's trying to identify each year which guys in the
Speaker 1: early rounds we're gonna And you can put David Johnson
Speaker 1: in that category if you want to. But again, like
Speaker 1: he finished, you can't. You can't underperformed. I wouldn't call
Speaker 1: him a complete bust though, Jim, I don't call him
Speaker 1: a bus It was a top ten running back. He
Speaker 1: underperformed expectations. Granted I can't say he didn't. Everybody you
Speaker 1: know took him as a top three back expected him
Speaker 1: to have another big bounce back here. I get that
Speaker 1: didn't live up to those expectations. But man, there's no
Speaker 1: way in the world you can cop call a top
Speaker 1: ten running back in fantasy bust. I'm sorry, folks, it
Speaker 1: just doesn't work that way. I do agree with you,
Speaker 1: um when it comes to what I said about Davanta
Speaker 1: Adams and tire Hill. Not that again, you don't want
Speaker 1: to pencil yourself into wide receiver wide receiver. Well, the
Speaker 1: case that I was making for this strategy was, it's
Speaker 1: just Davanta Adams provide such a safe floor, at least
Speaker 1: he did this year. I would expect him to do
Speaker 1: the same again next year, such a safe floor, and
Speaker 1: we know Tyreek Hill has that big upside. I just
Speaker 1: thought that in terms of chemistry, right, it was like
Speaker 1: they're just like kind of a perfect match, a match
Speaker 1: made in fantasy heaven. One might say you didn't like
Speaker 1: the Jujuic Smith Schuster pick at eight, again a polarizing pick,
Speaker 1: But Jim, if Antonio Brown does get traded, which it
Speaker 1: seemed more more likely that it's going to happen, where
Speaker 1: is Juju Smith? Where should he be drafted? That's warranted?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Like, should he go that high?
Speaker 1: Should he be the wide receiver one off the board?
Speaker 1: Should he be a top five wide receiver? Should he
Speaker 1: be on the swing there at the first can round?
Speaker 1: How high it's too high for Juju? If Antonio Brown
Speaker 1: is trated, look I think he's gonna be a you know,
Speaker 1: top five, top six wide receiver. Off Brown is gone.
Speaker 1: The problem is we just don't know. Having Brown on
Speaker 1: the other side doesn't put Juju against the top corners.
Speaker 1: Most often now, if he's the number one, he will
Speaker 1: face that. We just don't know if he can do
Speaker 1: that on a consistent basis. I think he will. But
Speaker 1: to draft him as the first wide receiver off the
Speaker 1: board against guys that have already done that, I can't
Speaker 1: see that. Jim, does it make you feel better that
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Houster predominantly plays in a slot, so we
Speaker 1: know that typically the best team's cornerback doesn't typically doesn't
Speaker 1: travel into the slot all that often. Does that make
Speaker 1: you feel a little bit better about Juju? Real quick?
Speaker 1: We only have about, you know, thirty seconds then not really?
Speaker 1: I think that you know, with this offense, James Washington
Speaker 1: being the next guy up, I think that top corner
Speaker 1: will be on him fair enough. I'm gonna continue talking
Speaker 1: about our early twenty nineteen mock draft. You can check

Speaker 1: round because as usual I'm taking too long talking about
Speaker 1: the first round here in this mock draft. The second
Speaker 1: round Come on now, Nick Chub, Tyreek Hill, DeAndre Hopkins,
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, Damien Harris to the same owner that drafted
Speaker 1: Judic Smith. Choose here. That was Davis Maddick, Adam Feeling,
Speaker 1: David Johnson, Odell Beckham Jr. Travis Kelsey, Mike Evans, t
Speaker 1: Y Hilton, Joe Mixing. We had Davis on the show
Speaker 1: last Friday. We asked him about his pick of Damien Harris. Basically,
Speaker 1: he said, every single year in the NFL Draft, there
Speaker 1: is a running back needy team that that draft, you know,
Speaker 1: one of these uber talented running backs out of college,
Speaker 1: and it's just it's a match made in heaven for fantasy.
Speaker 1: Once again, not to the same extent that like Sae
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley was, but you know, we have had two
Speaker 1: top five running backs two years in a row that
Speaker 1: we're rookies. Two years ago was Kareem Hunt, This year
Speaker 1: it was last year was cream Hunt. This year it
Speaker 1: was sa Kwon Barkley. I think this might be a
Speaker 1: little bit of a recency bias with like rookie running
Speaker 1: back things. Um, I don't know. I don't really have
Speaker 1: anything else on Damian Harris. You know, I haven't even
Speaker 1: like scouted the guy. I don't watch a lot of
Speaker 1: college football admittedly, Jim, Uh, I don't know if you
Speaker 1: have anything on Damian Harrison. You know, is that a
Speaker 1: lot of you know, draft knicks that I do follow,
Speaker 1: and I'm not as big into it like you, So
Speaker 1: I follow a few guys that know it and follow
Speaker 1: it well, and you know, for most of them, he's
Speaker 1: not even the number one running back on the board.
Speaker 1: It's David montgomer right that a lot of people are
Speaker 1: hyping up right, So you know, I mean at this
Speaker 1: point to take a shot on any rookie where you
Speaker 1: don't know where they're gonna go and all that stuff. Again,
Speaker 1: we're talking about to pick. So good job, Davis. There
Speaker 1: you go for those wondering about the tight end situation.
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey went in the second round here. He was
Speaker 1: the first tight end drafted at pick twenty one overall
Speaker 1: to Scott Angel. Odell Beckham, very polarizing, went in the
Speaker 1: middle of the second round to Greg Susman homer Um.
Speaker 1: But Jim, I want to ask you about Odell Beckham.
Speaker 1: I feel like you might be closer to me in
Speaker 1: terms of how you feel about it, because I feel
Speaker 1: like you just let so many people down the past
Speaker 1: couple of years. He is a guy that can still
Speaker 1: return first round value. They gotta figure the quarterback situation
Speaker 1: whether they draft one where it's Eli Manning. Again, do
Speaker 1: you like this pick of Odell Beckham in the middle
Speaker 1: of the second round? Uh? Like, would you have gone
Speaker 1: with like a guy like Mike Evans or t Y
Speaker 1: Hilton over him? Because I I kind of feel like
Speaker 1: those guys are all in the same range. I think
Speaker 1: I might draw the line at like Robert Woods. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I could take Robert Woods over Odell Beckham,
Speaker 1: but Mike Evans and t Y Hilton, I feel like
Speaker 1: you can make a case for taking those guys over
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham. So you ken, you know, they've been on
Speaker 1: the field for the most part, although Hilton was injured
Speaker 1: I mean basically second half of the season, but still
Speaker 1: came out and played every game, played well. Uh So
Speaker 1: nothing against that and Mike Kevans. To me, I'm not
Speaker 1: a huge Mike Kevan's guy, just because while his end
Speaker 1: of year numbers always look good, Uh, it's so up
Speaker 1: and down for week to week, and a lot of
Speaker 1: that's the offense. Now with Bruce arians said, that might
Speaker 1: very well change. Um, you know, I keep saying this,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people don't agree with me, but
Speaker 1: I bet Arians does everything he can to keep the
Speaker 1: Shawn Jackson in Tampa Bay because he fits what Arians
Speaker 1: wants to do perfectly. Um. You know, Arians loves to
Speaker 1: go get the ball down the field in a hurry.
Speaker 1: Winston can throw the deep ball and Djax, I mean
Speaker 1: one of the best in the league for you know,
Speaker 1: making those big explosive plays. He's not a you know,
Speaker 1: big PPR guy where he's gonna catch eight or ten
Speaker 1: balls a game, but you know when he catches the
Speaker 1: big ones, they're usually for big plays. So, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Evans a little outside mine and normally because of that
Speaker 1: my hesitation with him, it almost always comes down to
Speaker 1: somebody else is gonna grab him before me. Um t
Speaker 1: hy Hilton, I really like, especially with Luck coming back, Uh,
Speaker 1: so that that's not a bad pick. Really comes down
Speaker 1: to whether O'Dell can stay on the field. Let's face facts.
Speaker 1: He he's missed basically an entire season out of the
Speaker 1: last two sixteen games out of the last thirty two. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, hard to get past that. He needs to
Speaker 1: stay on the field. You know, in late in the
Speaker 1: second round, I don't have any problem with taking the
Speaker 1: shot that he does stay healthy. But but you know,
Speaker 1: because he had does have the talent, like he said,
Speaker 1: he could easily come out of the season as a
Speaker 1: number one and wide receiver. There's no doubt in my
Speaker 1: mind you could do that if he plays sixteen games.
Speaker 1: Even with Eli um So, you know, that doesn't bother
Speaker 1: me so much as much as the injury concerned, and
Speaker 1: hopefully you can get past that doesn't become a thing
Speaker 1: every year, Jim. In the third round, we saw Stefan
Speaker 1: Diggs go with the first pig, then Zach Ertz, Dalvin Cook,
Speaker 1: Robert Woods, first Rams wide receiver off the board by
Speaker 1: the way, Keenan Allen, George Kittle, Randon Cooks, Amari Cooper,
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay, Aaron Jones, Damien Williams, and then A J. Green.
Speaker 1: So by the middle of the third round, Jim Day
Speaker 1: had picked six. George Kittle was who he drafted all
Speaker 1: three of the top the elite tight ends and Kelsey
Speaker 1: Earths and George Kittle were gone by the middle of
Speaker 1: the third round. I think that's worth mentioning they all
Speaker 1: went inside the top thirty picks. Um So Jim, you
Speaker 1: spoke about George Kittle a little bit and how you
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't do this strategy again. Um, I'll throw that
Speaker 1: at you your way, like afting a tight end early.
Speaker 1: Robert to Robert Woods be the first Rams wide receiver
Speaker 1: off the board as well. I'll throw those two your
Speaker 1: way because I know he's coming off an a C
Speaker 1: L injury. It's very risky. You can't argue that Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup was was the most productive wide receiver when all
Speaker 1: three were on the field this year. So I'll just
Speaker 1: kind of throw those your way. Look, I love Robert Woods.
Speaker 1: I like the fact that they use him in all aspects.
Speaker 1: They can move them inside and out, they use him
Speaker 1: in the running game. Uh, Cooper Cup is more a
Speaker 1: bigger play guy. He gets you know, touchdown chances in
Speaker 1: the red zone a lot more often, so you know
Speaker 1: that comes into play as well. But you know Woods,
Speaker 1: I like Woods. Um, I think it could even be
Speaker 1: better than what we're seeing out of him now. And
Speaker 1: that was pretty good, although he did curtail you know,
Speaker 1: the last month, like the entire offense did. After that
Speaker 1: big Monday night game, they went on buy and came
Speaker 1: back and just weren't the same for the rest of
Speaker 1: the season. Um, you know, they had some injuries and
Speaker 1: stuff they had to deal with. So I don't play
Speaker 1: some part of it. Um, you know, I can't fault that.
Speaker 1: But go back to you know, taking Kittle there. This
Speaker 1: is one of those points where I didn't take what
Speaker 1: I considered to be best player available. I wanted to
Speaker 1: see what the result would be after that pick if
Speaker 1: I did take, uh the tight end, one of the
Speaker 1: big three tight ends that early and uh, he's kid
Speaker 1: will calling me now. So uh so you know I
Speaker 1: wanted to see. I didn't like it. I mean I
Speaker 1: did come back and get Cooper Cup, Tyler Lockett and
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton is my top three wide receivers, which I
Speaker 1: could live with, but I would have liked one of
Speaker 1: those better wide receivers there, um, like a Robert Woods
Speaker 1: or you know, maybe even a Stefon Diggs. Um. But again,
Speaker 1: this was all part of what I wanted to see
Speaker 1: what would happen grabbing one of the big three tight
Speaker 1: ends in those first three rounds. Uh, don't love it.
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be some better play out of
Speaker 1: some of the tight ends next year. I know this
Speaker 1: is what's gonna happen going into next year's draft. It
Speaker 1: is because you know, they were only three four consistent
Speaker 1: tight ends all year, adding Ibron to that list, that
Speaker 1: they're gonna be drafted early. They just are all pretty
Speaker 1: much all of them because after that it got to
Speaker 1: be such a bad mess of guys not playing well.
Speaker 1: I mean, you couldn't even stream tight ends this year
Speaker 1: because no matter who's stream, they were terrible. Um, So
Speaker 1: you know, people are gonna be jumping on these guys
Speaker 1: that did well this year, but you know, you got
Speaker 1: other guys that might not have had a good season
Speaker 1: this year that I expect more from next year. And
Speaker 1: of course that's Jack Doyle coming back. I still think
Speaker 1: he's going to be the number one and in the
Speaker 1: um having Ingram coming back healthy. He finally saw a
Speaker 1: little bit of what he can do at the end
Speaker 1: of the season, but we saw what he could do
Speaker 1: last year. He's a He's a very talented young tight
Speaker 1: end that if he stays on the field for sixteen games,
Speaker 1: is gonna be right in this mix. The one guy
Speaker 1: that's really gonna take a hit this year that you know,
Speaker 1: not too many people are talking about right now, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be o J. Howard. Um. You know, while I
Speaker 1: love Bruce Arians and all he's gonna do in Tampa Bay,
Speaker 1: the one thing we know about Bruce Arians is he
Speaker 1: doesn't utilize the tight end as much as most other
Speaker 1: coaches do, and tight ends usually take a back seat,
Speaker 1: even if they're talented. So you know, a lot of
Speaker 1: people I think are gonna be overdrafting O J. Howard
Speaker 1: just based on the fact of the play he had
Speaker 1: before he got hurt. And I get that, but they're
Speaker 1: gonna be sadly disappointed. J Howard is an interesting one,
Speaker 1: and I looked into this myself with Bruce Arians when
Speaker 1: he was calling plays with the Arizona Cardinals offense. I
Speaker 1: believe they never exceeded it was like four d and
Speaker 1: fifty yards or three touchdowns in any season with Bruce
Speaker 1: Arians there calling the offense. UH, to be fair, they
Speaker 1: didn't have a tight end as talented as OJA Howard,
Speaker 1: so that would be my defense, but you're not wrong.
Speaker 1: They He definitely did not utilize the tight end with
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. I believe it was Jermaine Gresham was probably
Speaker 1: the most talented guy that he had back then, just
Speaker 1: referring to Robert woods Um talk a lot about consistency
Speaker 1: on the show here the Fantasy Best Friends Forever um
Speaker 1: at least sixty one receiving yards in every game but
Speaker 1: two this year, and that was Week seventeen, and that
Speaker 1: was also Week one, Robert would so you know, he
Speaker 1: was very consistent. You can't deny that. And he had
Speaker 1: three yard receiving games. That is Robert woods Um. Damian Williams, Jim,
Speaker 1: I know how you feel about Damian Williams. Uh eleventh round,
Speaker 1: eleventh pick of the third round. Is that warranted as
Speaker 1: of right now? Oh? Heck no, I think that's terrible pick,
Speaker 1: Absolutely terrible. This guy should be going in the second
Speaker 1: round at least. To get to the third round was
Speaker 1: just unbearable. And again, if if I wasn't trying the
Speaker 1: tight end position in that third round just to see
Speaker 1: what would happen, if he had still been there when
Speaker 1: I picked, he wouldn't have been. I would have started
Speaker 1: three running backs just to get him. Jim, Realistically, if
Speaker 1: this team does not draft a running back, and if
Speaker 1: it's just if it's Damian Williams and Charke Hendrick West
Speaker 1: heading into next year, where does Damian Williams get drafted.
Speaker 1: He is he first round pick. No, I think he's
Speaker 1: the second round pick. Because still people are gonna be,
Speaker 1: you know, a little wary of you know, them bringing
Speaker 1: somebody else. If they don't draft anybody, then won't start
Speaker 1: to see him come up. If they don't grab anybody
Speaker 1: in free agency, will start to see him come up more.
Speaker 1: But I have no doubts this guy is gonna be
Speaker 1: there starting running back next year. He's proven that if
Speaker 1: you've got a believer, but now then you're just not
Speaker 1: watching football. He's doing everything they're asking for from him,
Speaker 1: and he's doing it well. Um. You know, he not
Speaker 1: only can run outside and hit the corner's edge is
Speaker 1: really good, he catches the ball really good. Give him
Speaker 1: the ball up the middle and he'll smash mouth with
Speaker 1: the best of them. This kid is going to be
Speaker 1: a starting running back next year for the Kansas City Chiefs,
Speaker 1: and he's going to be a value pretty much anywhere
Speaker 1: outside the top fifteen pick. Before we sign off YouTube,
Speaker 1: I do want to just kind of pose a question
Speaker 1: to everyone out there and and bring up a very
Speaker 1: polarizing word this time of year, and it's baseball. Because
Speaker 1: I've had a few people ask me, you know, when
Speaker 1: is the Fantasy Best Friends Forever We're gonna start talking
Speaker 1: about baseball, because you know, there has been stuff that
Speaker 1: happened in the off season, and you know, every it
Speaker 1: seems like everyone's doing best Ball drafts already, which is like,
Speaker 1: it's way too early. It's January, guys, Like we still
Speaker 1: have the NFL playoffs going on. But either leave a
Speaker 1: comment tweet at me right in the chat right now, ideally,
Speaker 1: like when would you like us to start talking about baseball?
Speaker 1: Because you know, I want to get the people's reaction.
Speaker 1: I want to know what you guys think, like do
Speaker 1: you want us to start talking about baseball now? Like
Speaker 1: should we sprinkle it in a little bit? Should we
Speaker 1: have like on a Wednesday instead of talking about Cam
Speaker 1: Newton's injury, should we be doing a baseball segment? Let
Speaker 1: us know. I wanna, I wanna. I want to hear
Speaker 1: from you guys and find out when should the Fantasy

Speaker 1: gonna like that? Uh is what is? Um? If I
Speaker 1: want to get Cory, I'll just start talking about hockey. Um,
Speaker 1: so we we know he doesn't like hockey. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I know he doesn't like baseball either. But yeah, whatever
Speaker 1: I could do to get under his skin is always fun,
Speaker 1: um because he's so much fun when you know, it's
Speaker 1: I do the same thing to to uh, to Chris.
Speaker 1: You know, you get under this skin, you get him
Speaker 1: a little amped up. It's always good radio. So I
Speaker 1: like doing that. But um, yeah, you know I've been
Speaker 1: asked to to get into baseball. It's been you know,
Speaker 1: probably five years since I played in the baseball league.
Speaker 1: So right now it's all a matter of relearning the
Speaker 1: names and where they are what teams and you know,
Speaker 1: going through that stuff, and and of course looking at
Speaker 1: all of breaking a hundred new stats that they use
Speaker 1: in baseball. Now yards were bad, you're about to uh,
Speaker 1: you don't know what you can yourself into here. I'm
Speaker 1: out here, you know, I'm looking into the I've done
Speaker 1: my catcher rankings. I'm working on my first base rankings.
Speaker 1: I'm out here looking at exit velocity, launch angle. Jim,
Speaker 1: I'm out here looking at hard hit rates. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at strikeout rates. We're gonna outside swing percentages with rates. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's okay. I'm not gonna be looking at all at
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at stick to the like batting average, runs,
Speaker 1: r b i s, home runs, stolen bases, like you
Speaker 1: know what people have done over the past months, like
Speaker 1: look at trends. I will throw this out there. Mendo.
Speaker 1: Bruce asked us to talk more about the NBA. So
