WEBVTT - Free Agent Frenzy! 0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:06.480 Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeartRadio. Time 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:10.440 now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio. You're a weekly 0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:14.440 source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, and 0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:17.240 whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show. 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:23.800 Now here's your host, Paul Charge. This is not Paul Charci, 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:28.000 and this is Matt Harrison along with Brian Johnson. Fantasy 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:31.040 Football Weekly, A day late, a book short. Well, I 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:33.479 ruined it by talking over you. I was gonna say, 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.280 what if we we're Paul charchiing. He was just one 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:42.520 person who did all the voices like he's been doing 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:46.400 all of our voices for years. It's it's quite the impressive. 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:51.440 He's like the Frank Oz of fantasy football. Umar charches 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:55.000 out today under the weather. So Matt and Brian filling 0:00:55.080 --> 0:01:00.279 in on the weekly Fantasy Football Weekly show, and we're 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.800 going to talk free agency all over today, the guys 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:06.959 at all of the positions that may land on a 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:10.120 different team this year. But we have to start with 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.080 the big trade. And because we're recording this on Saturday, 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.560 we got to see this trade that went down Friday 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:19.240 afternoon and the Bears trade out of pick number one 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:23.759 overall to the Carolina Panthers. The Bears receive pick nine, 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.759 pick sixty one DJ Moore, which might be the most 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.920 interesting trade piece so far. Twenty four first and a 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:36.280 twenty five second Brian instant reaction, instant reaction, definite upgrade 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:40.959 for Jeffson Fields. Of course, it finally has a competent 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:46.240 wide receiver. Definite upgrade for DJ Moore too, right, it 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.920 almost feels like a lateral movement. I don't know. It's 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:54.400 not a bad thing, but um, people knock Justin Fields 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.160 as a pastor. I think he's a good pastor. He's 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.240 never had good weapons, he's never had a DJ more before. 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.680 But true, I'm not bumping. He doesn't change a whole 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.160 lot for me. I don't think it gets worse. It's 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.560 not a worse situation for a more. Yeah, it certainly 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.560 helps fuels more than it helps more. I think Taras 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:13.480 Marshall now is certainly very interesting on the Carolina side. Yeah, 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.480 absolutely no one left there. Well, specifically, since they don't 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:18.240 have a first or a second, they're not taking a 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.560 wide receiver in the second round unless they're making some 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.280 crazy moves here. Unlikely. Um, yeah, they're not with the 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:27.760 first overall pick either you know Reiver. Well, maybe we'll 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:29.840 talk about some wide receivers later in the show that 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.200 Carolina can pick up. So Taras Marshall bumped up and 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:37.440 I believe it Shy Smith who's getting some run last year. 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:41.880 Those are your two starting wide receivers for the Panthers, 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:46.400 who also don't have a running back and I've never 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.320 had a tight end. It's kind of a full rebuild 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.200 except for Dan Arnold for a couple of weeks, but 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.560 they traded him. That was stupid. But um, big win 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:56.799 for Chicago in reality football. But it was noted at 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.240 at Indie at the combine that Frank Reich said that 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.680 Bryce Young was a little short for the position and 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:08.760 his liking. But so I'm interested to see if if 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.160 the Panthers do go in on Bryce Young at number 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.839 one overall, or if they've got CJ. Stroud penciled in there. Yeah, 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.000 it's certainly going to be a quarterback if you're if 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.359 you're a gambling man, and then we both are. I've 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.120 already got my money on Will Levis. I do too. 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:27.360 I will Levis number one overall. Pick U bet in 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.400 Vegas right now at MGM what odds did you get 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.519 on it? I think it was like plus eighteen hundred 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.880 or something I got. I got thirty to one. And yeah, 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.000 it's gonna be a quarterback. I'm not sold on any 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.200 of these guys. Yeah, I feel like the Panthers are 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:43.760 gonna go with the high upside options and that's Richardson 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:48.800 and Levis. Yeah, so I'm I'm I'm not saying Levis 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:50.600 is the best, but I'm like with those at those 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.400 odds all day that I'll take my chance. It feels 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.400 like a twenty five percent chance to me, it's just 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:56.800 gonna be one of those guys. And if you're gonna 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:58.240 give you thirty to one on one of them, I'm 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.280 taking it. That's true. All right. So let's talk about 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.720 some of the free agent guys, and uh, you know 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:08.520 the guy that is probably the most interesting player who's 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.280 not technically a free agent but kind of a free agent. 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.360 That's Lamar Jackson, who's on the non exclusive franchise tag. 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.640 There's been a lot of reports out there that say 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.279 the Falcons are out, the Dolphins are out, and the 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.040 Dolphins actually said that they're going to pick up two 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:26.359 as fifty year option. But There's there's a lot of 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.480 steam out there that says a lot of these teams 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.920 are out on paying two first round picks and then 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:36.240 paying Lamar Jackson. I it kind of feels a little collusiony, 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.800 like the Colin Kaepernick thing, Like nobody wants to give 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.040 Lamar Jackson guaranteed money for some reason. Yeah, he just 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.280 wants more than Deshaun Watson got. I don't believe what 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:49.400 anyone's saying about anything in a situation. It's strange. I've 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:53.320 seen a lot of steam on the Colts maybe being 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:57.160 the team that goes after Lamar Jackson. The Lions are 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:01.640 getting thrown out there. Raiders would be an interesting spot. 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.960 I don't know why the Jets aren't throwing their hat 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.200 in the ring. I think I think the Jets and 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.719 the and Rogers, the Jets and the Packers have a 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.000 deal in place. They're waiting on Rodgers. Yeah, but still 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:13.960 I would still be kicking the tires. Long story. I 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.760 think he's gonna end up somewhere else, just even of 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:21.680 course the Ravens can match any offer. Yeah, Jackson's heart 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.920 is not going to be in that with that organization anywhere. 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.360 It's true he didn't show up to the playoff game. 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.400 He yeah, I think he's he's checked checked the box 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:34.040 and he's done there. So he can't have more rushing 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:39.000 value outside of Baltimore. It seems because Greg Roman, the 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:43.680 former offensive coordinator, created some running place for him. The 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.000 good news is almost anywhere he goes, he'll have more 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.520 more targets, better targets than Baltimore because they just do 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.600 not incentivize that as a team. I was going to 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:56.320 say the Ravens have the worst wide receiver room until 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.360 the Panthers just traded away anymore. But yeah, basically anywhere 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.440 else he goes. I mean, Mark Andrews is nice, nice 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.760 tight end. We like likely and Rashad Bateman can play, 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.040 but he's not hasn't proven to stay healthy. But yeah, 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:12.080 I think it's I like his prospects almost anywhere else 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:15.000 over Baltimore. Interesting that Carol Anna just didn't pull the 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:19.120 trigger on Lamar Jackson trading two first round picks. They 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.720 could have kept Dj Moore traded the two first get 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.080 Lamar Jackson. That would have been an interesting play too. 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.800 So Todd Munkin is the new OC in Baltimore. His 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:33.039 resume isn't super inspiring. He was the Browns offensive coordinator 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.800 in twenty nineteen. The team finished twenty second points twenty 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.240 second yards. Before that, he was Dirt Cutters o C 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.800 in Tampa with Jamis Winston. That was kind of a 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.159 mixed bag of results there. I believe that was the 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:49.159 thirty interception season for Winston. So yeah, let's get Lamar 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.280 out of there. Yeah, long story short, let's get him 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:55.159 out of there. Huh. Let's talk about Danny Dimes though, Brian, Well, 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.719 he's obviously staying in New York, so nothing's really going 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:02.200 to change that. A whole lot we can get into 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.000 if we think that contract is a good idea or not. 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:08.480 That doesn't really matter in fantasy football. The one thing 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:12.520 that stands out, one thing that resonated to me was 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:16.600 next year. It's just one year, small sampler or every whatever, 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.960 but he's gonna have a bigger hit against the Giants 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.240 cap Daniel Daniel Jones than Patrick Mahomes is going to 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:29.080 have the Chiefs. Totally makes sense. So but you know, Dannydimes, 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:33.560 he he uh, you know, exceeded expectations last year, so 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.080 we'll see what happens this year. The Giants are probably 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.480 gonna add a wide receiver or two. You would think 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:43.200 they got Arkley still, but uh yeah, yeah, they have 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.280 to add a wide receiver, but some weapons. You know, 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:47.880 he got paid off of that Vikings game, and the 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:49.960 Giants are not going to be playing the Vikings every week. 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.840 That's true, So I think people are you know, the 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.840 recency bias. I wonder if he's sending a thank you 0:07:55.960 --> 0:08:00.360 card to the Vikings defensive staff. Done yead dontel getting 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.600 the card in the mail, Donne Hill, send Danny Diames 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.720 your venmo. Jimmy Garoppolo is a free agent. There's a 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:09.440 lot of reason to doubt whether Jimmy Garoppolo can succeed 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:13.280 outside of Kyle Shanahan's offense. He really never has had 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:17.160 a chance much out of Kyle Shanahan's offense, but he 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:21.440 was a middling fantasy producer. When when surrounded by really 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.400 some Hall of Fame level talent and Deebo and George Kittle, 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.320 his value pretty much goes down wherever he goes because 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.880 he's unlikely to be an offense in an offense anywhere 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.920 as near as good as San Francisco's. I think that 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.320 goes without saying one of the best offensive lines in 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.240 the league, he's a backup, or he's going to be 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.880 a guy that maybe starts the first four weeks in 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.560 front of Bryce Young or CJ. Stroud and or Will Levice. 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:48.880 From the Jimmy Garoppolo camp, he wants to be a 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.680 starter in the league. And I mean there's gonna be 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.320 some starting jobs open. There's still about half of the 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.280 league doesn't have a solid foundation of where they have 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:01.040 as a quarterback right now. So I think Garoppolo probably 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:02.760 will get a chance to start at the beginning of 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.920 the season. We just don't know where. Probably an NFC team. 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.120 There's a lot of NFC teams game. He's not landing 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.360 on an offense quite like the forty nine end of 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.640 the end of the story there, So yeah, not too 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.000 thrilled about wherever he ends up. All right, let's move 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:18.600 on to the running back position, where Josh Jacobs gets 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.520 the franchise tag and sae Quon Barkley also got the 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:25.760 franchise tag and interesting to me, Brian, does it seem 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.920 like that might be the future of the running back position, 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.280 Especially if you draft a running back in the first round, 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:34.960 you you pay them their fifth year option, and then 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:36.880 you franchise tag him one year, so you get them 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:38.800 for the six years and then you let them ride 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.240 off into the sunset, maybe maybe four years and then 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.880 the franchise year. But that kind of seems like a 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.199 good way to play the running back position. If you're 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.559 drafting a running back in the first or second round, 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:53.160 just just let them let them go after doing a 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:56.240 franchise tag year. Yeah. If I was with Giants um 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:01.360 and for whatever reason, Bijon Robinson old all the way 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:05.120 down there and you know you got I think he 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:08.000 probably will go there in the twenties, it's very possible. 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.760 You know, you draft him, you got your brand new Barkley, 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.199 you still have old Barkley. You try to make a 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.520 run this year, you know things don't look good, You 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:17.600 trade Barkley to a contender, and then you got Bijan 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:21.960 because they're not gonna be paying Barkeley next year. No so, 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.800 And the Jacobs thing is weird. We expect we said 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.640 last year, ride Josh shake. The Raiders are gonna ride 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:32.360 Josh Jacobs into the ground DeMarco Murray style, Marco Murray style, 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.440 which they did and they'll probably do it again. But 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.240 now the Giants are gonna do that with Barkley. Yeah, 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.240 and I'm kind of you know, bar people are drafting 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.840 right now and literally they're drafting Bijan over Barkeley, which 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:47.000 is nuts because Barkley's gonna get twenty five carries a game, 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:49.319 Joan's probably gonna get Like you have to be bullish 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.480 on both Jacobs and Barkley playing a tag like this. Yeah, 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:56.199 and redrafted leagues without a doubt. Now in Dynasty, they're 0:10:56.200 --> 0:11:00.680 getting old, sadly Barkley's but twenty seven almost Yeah, time 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.880 flies a name that's getting old, but he's really not 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.320 that old. David Montgomery, what do you think of his 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.000 prospects in the free agent market? Brand, Yeah, it turns 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:13.360 twenty six in June, so he's right tail end of 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.480 his prime. But since his rookie year ficks the tail 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.520 end of his prime. Running backs, it's a tough life, man, 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:22.640 it's a tough life. They live. They really just churned 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.880 and burned. But m Monte's yards per carry since his 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:28.840 rookie year three point seven, four point three, three point 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:32.160 eight four point oh not very good at all, But 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.920 yards per carry doesn't tell the whole story. Montgomery was 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.480 top fifteen and avoided tackle rates in three of his 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:42.640 four seasons behind a mostly below average offensive line in Chicago. 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:47.280 And you know he was splitting time with Kuil Herbert, 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.160 of course, who kind of looked better. It's a long 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.760 story short and Justin Fields an amazing Russian quarterback. I 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.679 think I think It's prospects are better wherever he ends up. 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.600 And I think Carolina certainly in the mix for running back. 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:03.000 Denver would be because whereas Javonte Williams might not be 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:06.800 ready for the season at all. Yeah, so I think 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.559 wherever Montgomery ends up, he'll be given a chance to 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:14.240 produce a little more. They head in Chicago recently. Yeah, 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.160 Miles Sanders is a free agent coming off a really 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.520 good year in Philly, but the Eagles really never made 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.960 him the focal point of the rushing attack. It was 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:28.480 because of the scheme, maybe because Jalen Hurts is frankly awesome, 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.840 especially near the stripe, or because Sanders just can't be 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:35.640 a three down bell cow. Pro Football Focus grade at 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:39.320 Sanders as the bottom ranked running back as a receiver. 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:43.720 Derrick Henry watches Sanders film and then laughs at Miles 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:48.360 Sanders hands. It's true. It's true, Derrick Henry he's always 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:53.320 laughing at others. Also, PF grade Sanders as the thirty 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.520 eighth ranked pass blocker. That's not very good for a 0:12:56.520 --> 0:13:00.600 guy who's a starting running back. Will another team use 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:05.120 Miles Sanders more or differently? I'm not really sure. It's 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.600 it seems like he's just kind of a guy. Yeah, 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.680 he's a Jag. Maybe he's a Jacksonville Jaguars back up. 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.480 Good news his next team won't have a quarterback stealing 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.600 double digit rushing touchdowns. I think there's a decent chance 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.360 he just resigns in Philly too. Speaking of a Jag 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:27.200 or an ex Jag, Leonard Fournette, yeahs twenty turned to 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.760 twenty eight in January, so he's an old man. Now. 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:33.120 How long ago he was twenty seventeen, the fourth overall pick. 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.840 Yeah by my Jaguars, big big whoopsie there. But um, 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.960 I'm not I don't really want to hear about Leonard 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:43.160 Fournett anymore. He's he's gonna be a backup wherever he ends. 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.600 He's not a starter. Don't you think it's kind of 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:49.560 the way of Lashawn McCoy, Leveon Bell, Melvin Gordon, where 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.640 he's just like kind of a forgotten asset at this 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.360 point pretty much. And then granted Tampa Bay did not 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:58.360 have a great offensive line, but Fournette dead last in 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.360 his free agent class running backs in yards after contact, 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:03.960 so you can't always blame that on the offensive line. 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:07.200 In most cases you can, So I'm not really there's 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.760 other free agent running backs more excited about seeing where 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.080 they end up than Leonard four ninth. Well, maybe Devin 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.120 Singletary is one of those guys. He's probably out in 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:19.320 Buffalo as James Cook likely inherits his job in Buffalo. 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.360 Did you hear the thing that James Cook's middle name 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.920 is Dalvin? Yeah? I heard that, and Dalvin Cook's middle 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:33.400 name is James. Some serious brotherly love. Devin Singletary is 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.760 one of the best pass blockers in free agency. He's 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.040 got pretty low mileage on him too, never topping two 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.880 hundred and fourteen carries in a season, but he's never 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.560 been a bell cow, probably because he's he's little. He's 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:47.920 five to seven decent receiver, but not a natural receiver 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.240 like a James White. He's probably a rotational back just 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.400 as he was with another team. But it would be 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.360 interesting to see a guy like Devin singletary. He seems 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.960 like an like a Kansas City Chiefs kind of a guy. Oh, 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.560 I'll because so gross, Like yeah, like like doesn't it 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:05.960 seem like that kind of player would just sign with 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:09.000 the Chiefs on like a mid budget deal and split 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.720 the backfield with Pacheco. Yeah, and they probably just want 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:15.200 the inside info on Buffalo more than anything obviously. Yeah. Yeah. 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:21.160 How about Damian Harris, Brian Damian Harris Charts loves Damien Harris. 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.440 We should. He spent way too much of the season 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.480 on the injured list, well, the last three years here 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:30.400 as games played, starving the most recent eleven, fifteen, and ten, 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.560 so he's only sort of played one full season, so 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.920 he's not the most durable back out there. When healthy, 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.520 he was effective average four point seven yards for carry, 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:41.960 but I feel like that was more being a Patriot 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.040 because they love to run, because they just run and 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:49.720 over there four Romandre really popped off, and then of 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.760 course Romandre looked like the better back even when both 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.480 were healthy. So I need to see. I'm not like, 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.040 it's not like Wherebert Damian Harris ends up. I'm in 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:01.720 he's that talented back. I mean, he's a good running back. 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:03.920 Don't get me wrong, but he needs to find a 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:07.560 nice soft place to land for me to Yeah, absolutely 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:11.320 be interested on draft day. Jamal Williams was the NFL's 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:16.280 leading touchdown scorer last year. That blows my mind. Seventeen touchdowns. 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:19.120 He's headed to free agency. He's kind of getting up there. 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:23.000 He's a finisher. He's the tenth most yards after contact 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.440 last year, but that number drops the thirty eighth in 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:32.240 average yards after contact, which is bizarre. He's not a 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:36.280 dynamic runner. Finished forty eighth in breakaway runs per carry. 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:39.520 Although he saw a lot of stacked boxes in short yardage, 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:43.120 he doesn't catch. Best case scenario, he probably just stays 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.560 in Detroit because we know how he'll be used there. 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:49.600 Second best scenario, he joins another skilled backfield with a 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:53.120 split where he's the short yardage specialist. Maybe maybe a 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:55.640 place like Buffalo, maybe a place like Kansas City, something 0:16:55.680 --> 0:17:00.840 like that. Another former Kansas City Chiefs running at Kareem Hunt. 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.240 He wanted to be traded from the Browns mid season, 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:07.240 but he didn't. What happened, Brian, Yeah, I don't know, huh. 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.639 What happened to Kareem Hunt in general? Remember he was 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.520 his rookie year, he was awesome. He looked like Jamal 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.520 Charles with two I remember it was the first game 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:18.200 of the season, like the Thursday in the open, and 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:19.720 he had like the four touchdowns and I think I 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:23.080 think it was against the Patriots. But Hunts turns to 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:26.600 twenty eight in August. That's old again. But he should 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.639 have a lot of tread left on the tires. Outside 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.600 of that his rookie year, he hasn't carried two hundred 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.040 top two hundred carries in any other season. He's always 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.320 just kind of been the change of pace back. So 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:39.720 I would love for him just to get a shot 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:43.879 like in Carolina, um maybe in Denver if John Te 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.840 Williams is the miss an extended amount of time, just 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:50.760 to be the guy again because I don't remember exactly, 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.960 he at least to be the one a kind of 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.320 because when he was with the Chiefs his rookie year, 0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:58.560 he looked like he was going to be a Hall 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:01.320 of Fame running back and then he derailed his career 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.600 essentially in his life for a little while, got back 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:05.320 on track a little bit, got another or got a 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.679 second chance with the Browns, but he's never you know, 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.440 he's always been the you know, the Robin to Nick 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:18.600 Chubbs Batman. So I'm very so like this whole exercise 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:21.880 is good for anyone doing Best Ball drafts right now, 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:27.320 or startup dynace leagues, or even if you're looking to 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:31.120 make a trade in your dynasty league, because right now, 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.440 all these free pending free agents there, they come into discount, yeah, 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:36.800 and they're not gonna get They're not gonna really lose 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.960 any value because they've already discounted so much. Because everyone's 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:42.440 kind of like hesitant because they don't know where they're 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.800 gonna play, but they land in the right spot, like 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:49.400 Kareem Hunt ends up in Carolinas, they're starting running back. 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:52.160 Granted it's not gonna be a great offense, his ADP 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.400 as a stands of right now will jump up three 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:57.800 rounds roughly something like that. Yeah, and what if he 0:18:57.880 --> 0:19:00.200 ends up in New Orleans or something like that, and 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.119 Alvin Kamara is looking at a long suspension that So 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.199 he's the guy I've been targeting in Bestball right now. 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:08.440 It's hoping. I think he's got the talent that he's 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:11.120 the running back a most except free agent running back, 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:13.200 I'm most excited to see where he lands. Last running 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:16.320 back we'll mention is Jerick McKinnon, And I guess I 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:20.640 have to get this one out for Jerick McKinnon because yeah, 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:24.200 I called that one a little bit and probably found 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:27.959 his stride in year seven. Weeks one through twelve, he 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:31.679 was RB fifty and from week thirteen forward he was 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:36.159 RB two, making him maybe one of the least likely 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:40.119 league winners in Memory's probably like wide receiver like twenty 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:42.720 two because he was really yeah, more so the receiving 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:45.040 than than the rushing. He was doing the age receiving 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:49.320 touchdowns in the final six weeks. So yeah, Jeric McKinnon, 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:52.760 I mean talking about long in the tooth. I mean 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:56.600 his teeth got to be like, you know, sabertooth tiger 0:19:56.760 --> 0:20:01.199 tusks or any something like that. You gotta think that 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:04.120 McKinnon's best option is to just stay in Kansas City 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:07.879 as long as he can. Yeah, I don't see like, yeah, 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:10.159 anyone who's leaving, We're gonna talk about a few Chiefs 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:12.880 wide receivers, Like anyone leaving Kansas City, He's not like, oh, 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:15.040 this is gonna be better off, yeah in other place. 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:17.879 All right, let's take a quick break and when we 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.359 come back, we'll talk about the wide receivers and tight 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:23.119 ends that might make a difference in uh, you know, 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:26.080 the next the next couple of rounds of your best 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:29.080 ball drafts, your dynasty drafts, anything like that coming up next, 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:39.000 and we're back to Fantasy Football Weekly Matt Harrison along 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:46.600 with Brian Johnson. This week, Mat Hi good and true. 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:48.160 We went on a break. When we take a break, 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:49.840 we literally take a break from each other and then 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:51.480 we come back. And that's true. I haven't seen you 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:55.040 since what December something like that. Yeah, good to see you. 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:57.760 It's it's it's been a while. How how how how 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:01.560 are the how's the new puppy? Hanul? Yeah? I saw 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:05.159 that you tweeted a picture of her and Christopher walking. 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:07.879 They look very similar. Someone pointed that out to me. 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:09.560 I didn't realize it. In first I was like nah. 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:11.280 Then the more I looked at it, I was like, wow, 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:14.920 you were like this a certain light like when it's 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:18.160 really bright, like it really brings out or walking like eyes. 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:21.480 All right, let's talk about some of the wide receivers 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:25.000 out there. And um, I'm trying to find the tweet. 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:28.560 But Ian Hartitz, who's kind of a friend of the program. 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:33.280 He tweeted out something about some of the last decade 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:36.840 of free agent wide receivers and how they almost never 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:40.000 work out. Like the best one has been Christian Kirk 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:42.440 and that was that was the best one by far. 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:47.080 It certainly wasn't Kenny Galladay in recent memory, or Mark 0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:50.800 has Valdez scantling Alan Robinson. But I still love you, 0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:53.000 Alan Robinson. I'm not giving up on you. Yeah, it's 0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:56.000 it's been a disaster. But Juju Smith Schuster hits free 0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:59.920 agency for a second straight year. What do you think, Juju, 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:05.000
