Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Sports Read Your Network alongside nobody.
Speaker 1: I am Greg Sausman. Dr A will join us at
Speaker 1: the let's say bottom of the hour, but at two
Speaker 1: twenty ish to uh to chat with all the latest
Speaker 1: injuries going on in football. I'm gonna take your questions
Speaker 1: throughout it because uh, the person I had filling in
Speaker 1: for Frank today canceled last minute. What people stop by
Speaker 1: from the network, and Corey might stop by. We know
Speaker 1: Venture may stop by, So what a ferry fund show today?
Speaker 1: There are twelve preseason games going on tonight as Corey
Speaker 1: was saying a few moments ago, it's not Christmas Day
Speaker 1: or anything like that, The damn isn't nice to have
Speaker 1: football back? Right Like that feeling of there's not gonna
Speaker 1: be a Thursday night for the next six months without
Speaker 1: a football is a pretty damn good feeling. And as
Speaker 1: I said, twelve games on the schedule, and we what
Speaker 1: we talked about it earlier this week with Floria, does
Speaker 1: the preseason matter? Do you care about the preseason? And
Speaker 1: my pretty much definitive answer was no, right, I could
Speaker 1: care less. But if I'm being honest, did I DVR
Speaker 1: the Giants game to night? Not sure what I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get a chance to watch it? I did? I did.
Speaker 1: I did it sitting at my desk this morning, on
Speaker 1: my phone to the app whatever. But what's cool is
Speaker 1: that doesn't really matter where Like I If I watched it,
Speaker 1: I watched. If I don't, I don't. What at least
Speaker 1: is there And I'm excited, maybe more so than I
Speaker 1: should be. I'm excited about the opportunity to see se
Speaker 1: Juan Barkley in a Giant's uniform, to not see Ben
Speaker 1: mcadoo's dumb ass on the sideline. Do I see professional,
Speaker 1: I seet, I see a new offense. I get a
Speaker 1: chance to see David's webb right, like nothing that has
Speaker 1: any fantasy implications. There's a lot of you can bet
Speaker 1: all tonight with and he's awesome knowing which coaches are
Speaker 1: super aggressive, the pe Carols of the World, by Tomlins
Speaker 1: of the world. That's really cool. But for me, it's
Speaker 1: all that being a fan. And that's what we get tonight.
Speaker 1: When you go home from work and you have the
Speaker 1: opportunity to watch your team, which everybody watching and listening
Speaker 1: will have that opportunity this weekend. You get just the
Speaker 1: reminder of you know how good football is. They have
Speaker 1: the bs take all the stuff with a kneeling, all
Speaker 1: the altercations, all of the hoop la, everything you read
Speaker 1: in training camp, it doesn't it doesn't matter. That's what
Speaker 1: you see matters. And watching so many Giants preseason games
Speaker 1: like caring about in anything but just to see it,
Speaker 1: and it always went incredibly poorly, like the offense was inept,
Speaker 1: and what happened while the offenses during the season we're inept.
Speaker 1: Hopefully a lot of that was due to be McAdoo,
Speaker 1: who has now gone and it will change with that Schirmer,
Speaker 1: so we hope we'll see. But as a fan of
Speaker 1: your team today, much like you'll feel that first Sunday
Speaker 1: of football season, you're gonna feel that excitement no matter
Speaker 1: if you're in Cleveland, where you're in New York, where
Speaker 1: you're in Boston, and you're a New England Patriots fan.
Speaker 1: That feeling is real, and it's optimism, and it's talking
Speaker 1: yourself into anything. You can talk yourself into a third
Speaker 1: round a third string quarterback being the next Tom Brady
Speaker 1: based on how they play in the preseason. You can
Speaker 1: talk yourself into an offensive lineman holding up reasonably well
Speaker 1: and meaning like maybe the improvement is there. I'm obviously
Speaker 1: talking about Eric Flowers. It's all optimistic and it's all
Speaker 1: real for tonight. That's the kind of excitement you have
Speaker 1: to night. This is the opportunity tonight to believe and
Speaker 1: I believe in the Giants Tonight. Get it, Giants fan,
Speaker 1: New York Local, the whole deal. But it's not just me, man,
Speaker 1: it's anything, it's anybody. And even though the Giants of
Speaker 1: the second overall pick and people are still picking them
Speaker 1: to go to the playoffs, I'm not worried about any
Speaker 1: of that that that's fine. I decided to just watch
Speaker 1: him play to get it back, to have a rooting
Speaker 1: injuriest to caring, and then I'll check it on all
Speaker 1: the other games. I'm sure the NFL network will have
Speaker 1: some some whip around of some sort that we could
Speaker 1: check out. And for me, for those that have watched
Speaker 1: me and know me, there's no There's no baking tonight.
Speaker 1: For me, there's no Bachelor, Bachelorette or some Bravo show.
Speaker 1: My girlfriend makes me watch none of that tonight, the
Speaker 1: night the NFL is back, and she knows what that means.
Speaker 1: You all know that knows what that means, and I
Speaker 1: know what it means. Eight four four four three six
Speaker 1: seven nine. I want to know what you're excited about
Speaker 1: the preseason. Two days ago, I pooh poo did. Two
Speaker 1: days ago, we went over why it doesn't matter what
Speaker 1: certain things do whatever. But today I don't care if
Speaker 1: it matters from a fantasy perspective. If you care what
Speaker 1: certain players do, that's not what I'm after. I'm after
Speaker 1: caring just about it back, what makes you the most
Speaker 1: excited over fantasy football? No, Lands Davis is no big Brother.
Speaker 1: Although a funny story about that. Why I have a moment.
Speaker 1: My girlfriend's best friend, her other best friend was on
Speaker 1: the Brother this year. So have you a Big Brother fan?
Speaker 1: And you like Caitlin, I got connections for you. Nevertheless,
Speaker 1: eight four, four, four, three six seven nine, I want
Speaker 1: to know what you are excited about when it comes
Speaker 1: to the preseason. I have in front of me a
Speaker 1: whole lot of things that you can watch during this preseason.
Speaker 1: During tonight with the first game, look wherese being the Giants? Like,
Speaker 1: what are what am I watching for? Other than take
Speaker 1: Giants fan Greg out of it? What am I? What
Speaker 1: am I looking for? Okay, Segn Barkley obvious? Let's say
Speaker 1: I'm looking to see if very if Evan Ingram had
Speaker 1: any sort of improvement. Looking at that, and I'm looking
Speaker 1: at the offensive line. Oh fantasy there. But is the
Speaker 1: offensive line going to be a turnstyle as they have
Speaker 1: been over the last three seasons? Or will Hernandez and
Speaker 1: this brand new offensive line and Neat Soldier and the
Speaker 1: rest of the guys will they step up? All right? Cool,
Speaker 1: that's I'm gonna watch for. Definitely on the other side
Speaker 1: of the Browns, I mean, how about this the team
Speaker 1: that I get to watch the nemb one overall picks.
Speaker 1: There no fantasy implications. That's fine, don't care. But Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield Nick Chubb, Okay, I'm getting up for that now.
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb a name that we didn't mention yesterday with
Speaker 1: Raymond Summerlin when we're talking about the rookie running backs.
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, I know Jake Seeley is very high on him.
Speaker 1: I know some other people were very high on him.
Speaker 1: I can't say that. I'm there. You guys know me.
Speaker 1: I'm the Carlos Hide guy, So I'm thinking Carlos Hide
Speaker 1: still early on, we'll get the will be the guy?
Speaker 1: Oh man, this is I'm not reading the chat about
Speaker 1: Caitlin from UM the Brother To answer your question, PMR.
Speaker 1: She did not do that to Brett. So she told
Speaker 1: us off the air, just saying I'm glad you guys
Speaker 1: you know thought Caitlo is fantastic TV. I will let
Speaker 1: her know. UM anyway with the Browns, will Carlois Hide
Speaker 1: be the man earlier? Carlos Hide, Nick Chubb? Go both
Speaker 1: going around the same spot, like, which one would you
Speaker 1: rather have? We talked about that, Frankie and I UM
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, right, and we both said Nick
Speaker 1: Chubb in the long run, but Carlos Hide now and
Speaker 1: it's really the same thing which is really interesting with
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor and with a gray Field, that combination where
Speaker 1: you went out, you traded for this guy, You traded
Speaker 1: an asset for this guy. When it comes to Carlos Hide,
Speaker 1: you spent money on this guy and then you immediately
Speaker 1: drafted his replacement. Tyro Taylor is gonna start. And no
Speaker 1: matter what Hugh Jackson tells you, Carlos Hide's gonna start.
Speaker 1: Both these guys are our players that certainly eat an
Speaker 1: auction draft, which we are going to go over um
Speaker 1: next if not next week the Monday after because I
Speaker 1: have my auction draft a week from this Monday. Both
Speaker 1: of these guys can We have very very little And
Speaker 1: I know, uh, the host of Red Felt Breaks here,
Speaker 1: Gregg Biden, extremely high on Tyrod Taylor, and he's somebody
Speaker 1: I trust. Maybe you should too. It doesn't caut you anything.

Speaker 1: Am I trying to find out on night one of
Speaker 1: the preseason. Well, let's go next team. That's Buffalo and Carolina,
Speaker 1: and I'm really excited that they're playing tonight because of
Speaker 1: this were once Sean McDermott versus old team, a little
Speaker 1: revenge game there preseason week one. But more importantly and
Speaker 1: more real, here's the thing we have to talk about,
Speaker 1: and that's lashawncy L. Shawn McCoy is a guy that
Speaker 1: a month ago was going in late second round, middle
Speaker 1: late second round, and then all that domestic violent stuff
Speaker 1: happens and he's just like, this, dude's never playing football again.
Speaker 1: We're a month later and there he is, healthy, practicing
Speaker 1: at training camp, and he's now dropped into the late
Speaker 1: fourth round. There's a bit of an Ezekiel Elliott nous
Speaker 1: to Lashaw McCoy, where you feel like that hammer is
Speaker 1: going to drop at some point, but you don't know when.
Speaker 1: For those drafting le Shaw McCoy as that RB two,
Speaker 1: you're getting potential RB one at that RV two costs.
Speaker 1: We named all these rookies yesterday, all these boring running backs.
Speaker 1: La Shaw McCoy is not either. He's a spectacular running back.
Speaker 1: But he's got a checkered pass and potentially a checkered future.
Speaker 1: Are you willing to risk a draft pick in that middle,
Speaker 1: in that late fourth round on a guy that, hey,
Speaker 1: the NFL could put on that inactive list at any
Speaker 1: point and we're just like, crap. They did it with
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. They did it many other times as well,
Speaker 1: just placed on this inactive list and you're just like,
Speaker 1: we're gonna deal with this another time? Are you all
Speaker 1: going to take that risk? Leshaw McCoy eight four four
Speaker 1: four three six eight seven nine. Then we're gonna join
Speaker 1: in to ask that. Hey, I want to you wanna
Speaker 1: hear your calls? Eight four four eight four three seven nine.
Speaker 1: Bob for Vermont? Are you sir? Hey? Are you doing? Greg?

Speaker 1: So it's been fun and we're gonna continue doing at
Speaker 1: eight four four, three sixt seven nine. A lot of
Speaker 1: those phone lines as I talked to my good friend,
Speaker 1: the best doctor I've ever met. It's Dr Right, what's up, doctor?
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Greg? Everything good? It's little only
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. Yeah, you're You're the only
Speaker 1: one in the studio. Just just me. It's just me
Speaker 1: and you. We can talk about anything. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, have you only put my feet up and
Speaker 1: we'll talk about anything. You know. I got I got
Speaker 1: a lot, I got a lot to say. But alright, alright,
Speaker 1: it seems like you want to talk abou football. Alright,
Speaker 1: we'll talking about some football injuries that knock. If that
Speaker 1: If that's the case, let me start. Let me start
Speaker 1: in Green Bay because it's a couple of Green may
Speaker 1: injuries we've spoken about these guys before, but I was
Speaker 1: hoping for updates on them. Let me start with Jimmy Graham. Now,
Speaker 1: Graham obviously major knee issues a couple of years back,
Speaker 1: and it seems like he never fully regained what he lost.
Speaker 1: He tweaked something in practice over the last couple of days.
Speaker 1: He's not expected to play in the Green May's first
Speaker 1: preseason game. I assume we'll be five for the regular season.
Speaker 1: But you see somebody that we should be worried about
Speaker 1: all year long when it comes to injuries. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean after his first season, Uh, we had inside injuries,
Speaker 1: you know, sort of put a target on Jimmy Graham
Speaker 1: to really really be careful with him. And it's really
Speaker 1: no different and even worse for this upcoming season. So
Speaker 1: we're warning everybody again that his injury risk is at
Speaker 1: twenty and uh, he's at peak health. So what that
Speaker 1: means is is that he's recovered from his injuries. Okay,
Speaker 1: and as you can see, he misspracticed with a minor
Speaker 1: knee injury. Um and he won't he won't play in
Speaker 1: the first preseason game. He'll heal from that. These are
Speaker 1: these minor tiki tack type injuries and then um, you know,
Speaker 1: his injury risk category still remains high based on all
Speaker 1: of the previous injuries and all of the different sort
Speaker 1: of metrics and analytics that we have for Jimmy Graham.
Speaker 1: So he is a classic high risk, high reward guy.
Speaker 1: So if you draft him, it is incredibly important that
Speaker 1: you have someone that can really go right in and
Speaker 1: step into those shoes because the likelihood of him playing,
Speaker 1: you know, all sixteen games this season is very very low,
Speaker 1: and he could play in all sixteen games. However, he
Speaker 1: may play in half the minutes or quarter of the
Speaker 1: minutes and a lot of those. So again, uh, you
Speaker 1: need a legitimate backup if you're going to, you know,
Speaker 1: take him as you know one of your players on
Speaker 1: your fantasy team. You want Jimmy Graham as your top
Speaker 1: tight end. Listen, you know I have Graham ranked as
Speaker 1: my He is my eighth ranked tight end because of
Speaker 1: that background. But if you're gonna drafting me Graham, doctor
Speaker 1: is right, you need to back him up with somebody, uh,
Speaker 1: some high upside that will be healthy. I guy like
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle is probably perfect. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: want to pick two tight ends that close together. But
Speaker 1: a guy like Jack Doyle's probably the way you want
Speaker 1: to go. You know, he's gonna be out there each
Speaker 1: and every week, and you know he is reliable. Doc
Speaker 1: the his teammate, Randall Cob, he showed up. I remember
Speaker 1: he had some issue in training camp where he was
Speaker 1: on a walking boot and he was on crutches or
Speaker 1: only what the hell is going on here? So we talked,
Speaker 1: we asked you about him right at the beginning of
Speaker 1: training camp, and then he missed a few more days
Speaker 1: of practice this past week with an injury to the foot,
Speaker 1: the same foot or the same problem he had if
Speaker 1: he was a foot that he had surgery on previously.
Speaker 1: And you're like, wait a minute, what's going on with
Speaker 1: Randall Cob? Yeah, so it's an ankle and he's had
Speaker 1: the same ankle issue wide receiver and ankles. You know,
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's a it's a problem, especially chronic chronic
Speaker 1: injuries that he's had, and he's had multitude of injuries
Speaker 1: over the last three years. Um. And based on sort
Speaker 1: of the types of injuries and his full makeup and
Speaker 1: especially at the wide receiver position. UM, you know, he's
Speaker 1: at a twenty seven percent injury risk category high and
Speaker 1: right now he's at poor at and so obviously, um,
Speaker 1: you know he's healthy. To return date right now is
Speaker 1: August the eighteen, so he's still about five days away,
Speaker 1: so that HPF should improve up to maybe fifty or
Speaker 1: sixty percent. But again, this is a guy that we
Speaker 1: are fully warning. He's not even a high risk high
Speaker 1: reward guy. Um you know, you know the injuries that
Speaker 1: he has sustained and is going to sustain. He may
Speaker 1: play really well for a minute or two a meaning
Speaker 1: in a few plays, but do not be surprised even
Speaker 1: in the first game if you the first game that
Speaker 1: he plays, that he'll get injured or something like that.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a he's a very He's one of
Speaker 1: our guys that is at the very high end of
Speaker 1: the spectrum in terms of injury risk. So there you go.
Speaker 1: Randall com high end up the spectrum. You heard that.
Speaker 1: When it comes to drafting him, you have to realize that,
Speaker 1: I know people are right on this bandwagon getting back
Speaker 1: in on Randall Cob. Aaron Rodgers is healthy. Randall Cob
Speaker 1: is healthy, but he's not and he's going to be
Speaker 1: injured again. And we know the ankle with the way
Speaker 1: he has to cut in the slot. It may not
Speaker 1: last very long for Randall. Cobbs would be very very
Speaker 1: careful if you're interested in drafting him. So moving on
Speaker 1: from the Packers, Um, I want to go over to
Speaker 1: New England where Sonny Michelle suffered an injury and it
Speaker 1: had a surgery about a week ago. What's the latest
Speaker 1: on him? Okay, this is a classic New England Patriots move,
Speaker 1: isn't it, Greg? He had a h knee procedure. Uh,
Speaker 1: not sure which side. At least expect to miss at
Speaker 1: least ten days. What we don't know what that means, right,
Speaker 1: Like at least ten days could be seventy five days, right, so, um,
Speaker 1: you know so, but it's okay. That's why you have
Speaker 1: inside injuries to like break it all down, right, so
Speaker 1: you know, the only two things that you could really
Speaker 1: come back into in a few weeks is you know,
Speaker 1: sort of a diagnostic arthroscopy where it kind of clean
Speaker 1: up the joint. If there's any loose boton what a
Speaker 1: diagnostic arthroscopy. So basically it's just you've heard this before
Speaker 1: where they kind of do a procedure laugh for scopy
Speaker 1: or you know, like they just put a scope in
Speaker 1: the knee, okay, and they clean out debris right like
Speaker 1: they'll create it, clean out cartilage or any loose bodies
Speaker 1: or you know, kind of smoothing. You know, it's basically
Speaker 1: a clean up procedure. That I'm not saying he definitely
Speaker 1: had that, but that's sounding like, you know sort of
Speaker 1: what he had because you know all of the injuries
Speaker 1: that he's had to that particular knee. Um you know
Speaker 1: develops in cartilage abnormalities and you know some of the
Speaker 1: loose bodies and you know sort of that develop in
Speaker 1: the joint. So here's the deal, like sort of breaking
Speaker 1: it down right now. And we've said this before. He's
Speaker 1: had Sonny Michelle um in a in the NFL. Making
Speaker 1: that transition from college to the NFL. We feel that
Speaker 1: it's going to be very difficult for him specifically from
Speaker 1: an injury standpoint. I mean, look, I'm a George Bull
Speaker 1: doc fan, love him, I really, you know, I think
Speaker 1: he has I want him to have a huge success
Speaker 1: story in the NFL. But from the data, you know,
Speaker 1: his injury risk is twenty and he's at the HPF level,
Speaker 1: you know, because he's still he just got injured he's
Speaker 1: just cre I mean, he's he just finished the procedure.
Speaker 1: So um, we don't expect that HPF to go higher
Speaker 1: than above average. He won't get back into peak, I think,
Speaker 1: likely before the beginning of the season. So all putting
Speaker 1: it all together, do not make Sony Michelle your number
Speaker 1: one RB. You know you gotta have. You gotta put
Speaker 1: him down below a few other running backs. You know,
Speaker 1: if you rank them, probably three or four it's probably
Speaker 1: the highest that he should go. I'm I'm thinking maybe
Speaker 1: even four or five. Yes, So there you go from DR.
Speaker 1: Don't make Sonny Michelle an RV one or an RV two,
Speaker 1: and really are he probably probably if you wanted to,
Speaker 1: gotta have him as the RV three. But you don't
Speaker 1: want to have to trust Sonny Michelle to be even
Speaker 1: close to an RV one or an RV two for you.
Speaker 1: But if you mentioned Sony Michelle, and again we're talking
Speaker 1: to DR a of inside injuries. If we mentioned Sonny
Speaker 1: Michelle and everything he's going through and how his skills
Speaker 1: and his injury history translates to the NFL, I think
Speaker 1: it's only natural next stock to ask you about Rex
Speaker 1: Burkehead because since the Sonny Michelle injury rex Burke had
Speaker 1: has skyrocketed up draft boards in that he's going to
Speaker 1: be the goal line guy again. He's like cashing passes
Speaker 1: out of the backfield. And what they like about Sonny
Speaker 1: Michelle is what they like about rex Burkehead, right, that
Speaker 1: you don't know if they're passing it or they're running
Speaker 1: it when he's in there. He dealt with some injury
Speaker 1: issues last year and I think he's going through something
Speaker 1: small during training camp. What's rex Burkhead's outlook of this season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so the injury that he has right now is a
Speaker 1: famous one. It's called unknown and this is a common
Speaker 1: word again the Patriots, right and so, um, you know
Speaker 1: he missed six games in two thousand seventeen with ribbon
Speaker 1: knee injuries. Um, but he's fully healed from those. And
Speaker 1: like you said, he's very versatile. Right. He can he
Speaker 1: can come out of He can do really pretty much
Speaker 1: anything the backfield. He could run football, it could be going.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a very very good utility player right now.
Speaker 1: You know, our algorithm is at eight percent low injury
Speaker 1: risk and peak health at and I agree with this
Speaker 1: sort of running up the draft boards. A little bit um.
Speaker 1: You know, I think it is it is um. You know,
Speaker 1: it is very good from an injury risk standpoint. This
Speaker 1: is the best he's looked in the last few years.
Speaker 1: So I think, uh, you know, based on whatever the
Speaker 1: algorithm has. Now, remember we have not inputed this latest
Speaker 1: injury because no one knows exactly what it is. You know,
Speaker 1: he was limited on Wednesday. Nothing has come out from
Speaker 1: the team, all of our sources and everything that we
Speaker 1: try to but there is zero. They're very tight lipped
Speaker 1: on it. So I would say this with a grain
Speaker 1: of salt right now before not knowing what this injury is,
Speaker 1: he's low and peak. We have to wait till we
Speaker 1: find out what his injury is. Then we'll input it,
Speaker 1: and then I think everyone should see what his algorithm,
Speaker 1: what his metrics show after that, because if it's like
Speaker 1: a soft tissue something or another, then his metrics won't change.
Speaker 1: But then all of a sudden, if he's got, you know,
Speaker 1: a Grade two knee, then it's something that will pretty
Speaker 1: significantly change his metrics before the season starts. Telling to
Speaker 1: dr a all of inside injuries, it seems all google
Speaker 1: rex Burke, and he likes the fact that he's climbing
Speaker 1: up draft wards and he says, it makes sense. My guy,
Speaker 1: and I mentioned him all week, like guy last year,
Speaker 1: my guy this year. Jordan's Howard. Some minor stuff going
Speaker 1: on with him this uh, this summer is Jordan Howard,
Speaker 1: guy that you feel comfortable as your RV one this
Speaker 1: year injury wise, so, um, before this soft tissue knee contusion. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, he was a low end peak UM so far,
Speaker 1: you know, sort of tracking. Um. You know he missed
Speaker 1: practice Wednesday as a precaution. That's fine, okay, but it's
Speaker 1: kind of like he has a series of a bunch
Speaker 1: of injuries and you know that one little injury knocked
Speaker 1: him down to below average. Give it a week, he
Speaker 1: should get back up to above average, close to peak.
Speaker 1: He's at low injury risk right now, which is on
Speaker 1: the border of elevated. But you know, if he continues
Speaker 1: to just heal and not have any further injuries, you know,
Speaker 1: like after August the fourteenth, he should be at low
Speaker 1: and peak health. So to dr a from inside injuries
Speaker 1: as long as Jordan hours, okay, Well, he's okay to
Speaker 1: draft makes sense to me. Um, A guy that a
Speaker 1: lot of we mentioned Sammy Watkins last week, and I'm
Speaker 1: bringing him up again because he got a new injury.
Speaker 1: And and Virginia was saying last week were you were saying,
Speaker 1: wherever was it those last week? No problem on Sammy Watkins,
Speaker 1: No problem this year. He's injured again. Doc, he's injured again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And see the previous metrics we had was a very
Speaker 1: crucial number. With the reason why Virginia said that because
Speaker 1: he was at peak health, right, but he did had
Speaker 1: an elevated injury risk, so it wasn't high, it wasn't low.
Speaker 1: He's again I've said this all along that this is
Speaker 1: a high risk or an elevated risk reward type of guy. Right,
Speaker 1: And he's had a multitude of injury. So he's got
Speaker 1: a Grade one hip injury. So it's not soft tissue.
Speaker 1: It's a grade one so it's more than just a
Speaker 1: minor tweak. They're gonna take him with so much precautionary
Speaker 1: measures that you know there'll be an exaggerated recovery time.
Speaker 1: Right now, it's August twenty one of where we see
Speaker 1: that he'll be healed, likely maybe push it to August um,
Speaker 1: but he will remain. Now, it's like that you know,
Speaker 1: it's like all he needed was that one little thing
Speaker 1: before the season started, and this injury did it. He
Speaker 1: went from elevated to high at thirty UM. No matter
Speaker 1: even if he heals, he won't get out of likelihood
Speaker 1: of high injury risk. So in our minds now, Sammy
Speaker 1: Watkins has now moved into like that category of seven six,
Speaker 1: seven eight type of wide receiver ranking Sammy wat Sammy
Speaker 1: Watkins a high upside guy that is always going. He's
Speaker 1: always the back. This is elevated injury risk always. I
Speaker 1: mean that's so it's like he can't be your number one.
Speaker 1: He can he could be your he can be your
Speaker 1: he can't be your one or two. I think he
Speaker 1: could get the highest maybe maybe uh maybe a three
Speaker 1: or four, but I mean that's even pushing it. I
Speaker 1: would feel more comfortable out of five at the five spots. Okay.
Speaker 1: So obviously the truth is, doctor, you're never gonna get
Speaker 1: him as a wide receiver five. If you want him,
Speaker 1: you're gonna probably have to draft hi measure wide receiver three. Four.
Speaker 1: If you're comfortable with that, okay, I'm never I wouldn't be.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be if he didn't have this injury. If
Speaker 1: he didn't have this injury, then I would say, yeah,
Speaker 1: three is probably weird. It was only a matter of
Speaker 1: time before he got hurt. I know. But no, but
Speaker 1: there are guys that get hurt all the time and
Speaker 1: then they have this year where they don't get hurt
Speaker 1: at all, and um, you know he was getting to
Speaker 1: that area. But we but that's why we do all
Speaker 1: these metrics before the season starts, so we can at
Speaker 1: least because nothing counts right now, right if everything counts
Speaker 1: on day one, So you know, we want to make
Speaker 1: we have the most accuracy right before the season starts.
Speaker 1: And again, so Sammy Watkins literally went from a two
Speaker 1: three down to a six or seven. Another young wide
Speaker 1: receiver that's battling some injury issues right now is Juju
Speaker 1: Smith Schuster. They're going around the same spot, Sammy Watkins
Speaker 1: and jud Schuster. Um, how comfortable are you the drafting
Speaker 1: Juju Um. So he's at an elevated injury risk and
Speaker 1: peak health. So he's not high and peak. He's elevated
Speaker 1: and peak at fifteen. So he missed a few practices
Speaker 1: at training camp. He had an ice bag on the
Speaker 1: left knee, likely a Grade one left knee injury, you know.
Speaker 1: So it's no tear or nothing like that, he'll recover
Speaker 1: from it. What worries me is he has had two
Speaker 1: concussions last season, and so whether it's via concussion or
Speaker 1: by any other injury, that means time off the field,
Speaker 1: and that means lower fantasy points obviously. So right now
Speaker 1: he's got a two to three week healthy recovery time
Speaker 1: optim recovery time. But um, you know, if he comes
Speaker 1: back without any further setbacks, you know, he again will
Speaker 1: be at elevated injury risk at and peak healf very
Speaker 1: close to low. So I see him as a two
Speaker 1: or three okay, and the and that's fine, that's where
Speaker 1: he's going as that two or three will be back
Speaker 1: to peak health. Um, he's he's very young, uh, playing
Speaker 1: the dynamic, dynamic Steelers offense. People obviously high this year
Speaker 1: on Juju Smith shust him a couple of minutes left
Speaker 1: here to go with Dr Raige. The couple more players
Speaker 1: I want to ask him about, Um, I'll ask me
Speaker 1: one the one that matters the most for our purposes
Speaker 1: to make sure we get it in DOC, and that's
Speaker 1: Gerald average Gerald Elevert's sleeper for a lot of teams
Speaker 1: at the tight end position. Are you confident in his
Speaker 1: ability to stay healthy this year? Um? Yes, Okay, he's
Speaker 1: at low injury risk at five percent peak health, just
Speaker 1: a grade one shoulders brand. Should heal and he should
Speaker 1: be okay to start the season. Okay, great, nice quick
Speaker 1: and concise. When Gerald um last two, I'll throw them
Speaker 1: both at you at the same time. Uh, that is
Speaker 1: z A Jones and Terence Williams. Two guys are not
Speaker 1: on the fantasy radio right now in twe eighteens A
Speaker 1: Jones and a brutal rookie year. And Terrence Williams really
Speaker 1: hasn't really mounted too much. And as you look at
Speaker 1: Alan Hearns, you look at Michael Gallup, everyone's forgetting about
Speaker 1: Terrence Williams. Um any issues with A Jones and Terrence
Speaker 1: Williams that are worth talking about, Yeah, I mean grade
Speaker 1: for labor from injury. The guy that that's a real,
Speaker 1: real tough in the career aspect and so high injury
Speaker 1: risk and below average. Just don't see him to be
Speaker 1: anywhere close to someone drafting him in the six seven slot.
Speaker 1: He's probably later. And then Terence Williams foot fractors and
Speaker 1: wide receivers very difficult to come from. However, he did it,
Speaker 1: and he's at elevated injury risk at fourteen percent, and
Speaker 1: he's at nineties six percent peak health. Wait till if
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a setback season starts, he should sneak
Speaker 1: into that low injury risk category. All right, there you go.
Speaker 1: That's the deal with all of our most injured players,
Speaker 1: dr A. It has been a pleasure as always. Thanks
Speaker 1: for hanging out for a little while. Absolutely, Greg, Absolutely

Speaker 1: watch the bf BFFs live. We give the address, come here,
Speaker 1: we'll be having to buy you a beer. Oh you
Speaker 1: have to do is buy us a beer? And nobody's
Speaker 1: only a couple of people. I should say, Bob to
Speaker 1: take us off on this generous offer, extremely generous, and
Speaker 1: he knew I haven't taken us up on it. Very nice,
Speaker 1: A little bit offended. Hey, Ben Shu, let me ask you,
Speaker 1: I mean asking the question everybody, what are you most
Speaker 1: excited about at the beginning of preseason football? What gets
Speaker 1: you going? The rookies? Rookies? Even though he's gonna play
Speaker 1: a couple of snaps. Yeah, I want to see those
Speaker 1: couple of snaps on to see what he looks like.
Speaker 1: They play a compass Barry sand Is that intrigues me
Speaker 1: so much? I want to see if you really runs
Speaker 1: like like like that? All right, you always much bigger
Speaker 1: than Barry Sand as Eva was fair enough. So are
Speaker 1: you just gonna be tuning in to the Giants today?
Speaker 1: Uh No, I'll probably tune into a couple more, but
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go crazy. Yeah, you know, watch the
Speaker 1: early snaps. Yeah again, I mean you got say Markley,
Speaker 1: you may see a lot of Baker Mayfield, Nick Chump
Speaker 1: Tona on the other side. Yeah, that actually intrigues me
Speaker 1: more a little bit to Cleveland Browns because I know
Speaker 1: what I'm getting from the Giants besides quan Um. The Browns, though,
Speaker 1: you got a whole new dynamic, whole new team, whole
Speaker 1: new offense. So I want to see what happens. Josh
Speaker 1: Gordon obviously is not gonna be there, which you know
Speaker 1: that kind of stinks. But um, we'll see how the
Speaker 1: chemistry with Tyrod and Jarvis is real quick, and we'll
Speaker 1: see how they use the running backs. That's what I'm
Speaker 1: most interested in yeah. So the thing is, and as
Speaker 1: you mentioned it, Chris and I talked about at the
Speaker 1: top of the show that I'd like to see how
Speaker 1: to use the running Max. But there's no way Carlos
Speaker 1: Hyan sees any significant burn in this game. I mentioned,
Speaker 1: I believe Carlos Hies and Nick chub is very similar
Speaker 1: to Tyrod Taylor and big Or Mayfield. So Ira Taylors
Speaker 1: the starter, Carl's has gonna be the starter all set
Speaker 1: and he's gonna get plenty of usage in my opinion
Speaker 1: for the season. You're saying, and I like Carlos sign yea, yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree. I think he's getting a little underrated, a
Speaker 1: little not enough love. Uh. And he's he's gonna get touches.
Speaker 1: The question is he gonna get, you know, like fifteen touches.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get ten touches throughout the season. That's why
Speaker 1: he for me, is like an RB three fringe are
Speaker 1: before I get it. Man, I I'm with you, dude,
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I mentioned I wanted to get your
Speaker 1: opinion on this, so I'm glad you're on the mic
Speaker 1: um and those little Shaw McCoy and I mentioned him
Speaker 1: before because the Bills are playing the Panthers tonight as well.
Speaker 1: Sho McKoy is not going on the end of the
Speaker 1: fourth round, but you're waiting for the other shooter drop
Speaker 1: and the NFL could literally just put on that an
Speaker 1: inactive list whenever they want. Are you drafting Shaw McCoy? Yeah? Absolutely.
Speaker 1: I was actually shocked when you said he's falling to
Speaker 1: the fourth round because I didn't even know that totally.
Speaker 1: You said that, and that's an absolute steel I think
Speaker 1: in the fourth round. If you can get him in
Speaker 1: the fourth round, I know you got that risk. But
Speaker 1: this is a guy that is a rock solid RB
Speaker 1: two if he plays. Um. I actually have him ranked
Speaker 1: as a top fifteen running back on my rankings based
Speaker 1: on him playing. But yeah, I'm interested to see what
Speaker 1: goes on with that. I mean, he's as safe as
Speaker 1: they come. You know what he's gonna do. You know
Speaker 1: you're gonna get from and you know you're gonna get
Speaker 1: volume with Buffalo. So I mean, dude, like he are
Speaker 1: you worried. I'm petrified. You're worried, right do? You may
Speaker 1: not play a game and you're gonna waste the third
Speaker 1: and fourth round pickle on him. A fourth I don't
Speaker 1: know about a third, so you won't do it third,
Speaker 1: do it four? Yeah, I'll do it fourth because I
Speaker 1: think that's you know, he could jump up two or
Speaker 1: three rounds of value from the fourth. He says, like
Speaker 1: as I said a second again, like this is Ezekiel
Speaker 1: Elliot written all over it to me. And again he
Speaker 1: was really good when he played, but he that the
Speaker 1: last half of the year. It sucked McCoy. Literally. That's
Speaker 1: why hopefully most of your drafts are right before the season,
Speaker 1: because this is a big question mark. Uh, if you
Speaker 1: want to avoid him, you don't want to take the risk.
Speaker 1: You know, there's plenty of other running backs to get
Speaker 1: in the second, third round that could give you, you know,
Speaker 1: quality production. Do you play? Are you playing in any auctions? Um?
Speaker 1: I'm in one auction, but usually I don't. My main
Speaker 1: home league is a twelve team PPR. Because I want
Speaker 1: to know how much McCoy is going for an auction
Speaker 1: right now? Well, I know that when I did my auction.
Speaker 1: Uh recently he went for but that was that was
Speaker 1: when the news came out, like kind of right away. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so twenty two bucks McCoy. It makes sense, right, Like
Speaker 1: that's that's the price where he's going in snake drafts
Speaker 1: also for that and that it makes sense, would I
Speaker 1: pay it? I'm scared. I'm too scared off. I think
Speaker 1: you'd skip over him and yeah, and I don't want
Speaker 1: to get involved. What what other running backs you think
Speaker 1: where he's going you would take? All right, So around
Speaker 1: the Shaw McCoy, you have Darius guys, you have Kennyan Drake,
Speaker 1: you have Derrick Henry. Derrick Henry is the one that
Speaker 1: excites me the most. There. I don't like I'm the
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry guy. I realized that you're Derick Hey, Harry
Speaker 1: guy also, so I I would take Derrick Henry more
Speaker 1: likely than little Sean McCoy, Derek Henry, Darius guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like that. I think Ronald Jones is an interesting
Speaker 1: So they're going a litle bit later, the Ronald Jones
Speaker 1: Roy Streeman crew. They're going about a round later. Right,
Speaker 1: So if you want to take a wide receiver here
Speaker 1: and wait, that's cool. Like I'd much rather the wide
Speaker 1: receivers in this area. That's going. Uh, Doug Baldin, Maury Cooper,
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, Like, give me those guys and I'll wait
Speaker 1: around the running back. Yeah, I agree with that definitely.
Speaker 1: I mean, these these rookie running backs, you could flip
Speaker 1: flop him any way depending on news that comes out
Speaker 1: and that that. This is why you're gonna watch preseason
Speaker 1: for these rookie running backs. See who gets you, see
Speaker 1: see who looks good? Um. But I look at the
Speaker 1: backups on a lot of these teams that have the
Speaker 1: rookie running backs, and to me, Ronald Jones has the
Speaker 1: least competition. I know they said that Peyton bober is
Speaker 1: probably gonna end up being the starter, but I see
Speaker 1: them at least putting carries when the season starts, A
Speaker 1: four four, A four, three, six, eight seven nine, Chris.
Speaker 1: Another game on the schedule all night in the NFL,
Speaker 1: you have the Chicago Bears and the Cincinnati Bengals. People
Speaker 1: are very excited about these Bears offense. What piece are
Speaker 1: you most looking forward to Washington Night? Allen Robinson his health. Obviously,
Speaker 1: this is the guy I want to own on the Bears.
Speaker 1: If there's one guy you want to own the Bears,
Speaker 1: I think it's Allen Robinson. Uh and Jordan Howard, of course,
Speaker 1: But Jordan Howard, you know, he's gonna get a lot
Speaker 1: of his touches eating up by Tariko, and I would
Speaker 1: assume especially targets. I don't see him getting more than
Speaker 1: twenty receptions of this season. I mean helium momens one
Speaker 1: of receptions and I don't and I think and it
Speaker 1: doesn't bother me thing like they can co exist they
Speaker 1: did last year and Jordan Howard is RB one. No,
Speaker 1: you know, I agree, they could absolutely co exist. But
Speaker 1: this is why Jordan Howard isn't an RB one and
Speaker 1: he's more of an RB two because he's probably not
Speaker 1: gonna get the receptions you really want from the RB one.
Speaker 1: But I'm interesting. I'm not as high on the Bears
Speaker 1: as everybody else's. I just don't see it. I see
Speaker 1: this team cause at least that division is so tough,
Speaker 1: you know, I I don't see that. Maybe they take
Speaker 1: a step up because they have all these new weapons.
Speaker 1: They did a good job with that, sure, but Trubeski
Speaker 1: has to grow and we don't know much yet. So
Speaker 1: that's what I'm most excited about. Like, I don't know
Speaker 1: how much I see you're bisking tonight, but I want
Speaker 1: to see what what Matt Negi is able to do
Speaker 1: with Mitchell Drew Bisky. If we're seeing that improvement we
Speaker 1: all expect, right right, And it could be, you know
Speaker 1: something where he becomes the next Jared golf cost and
Speaker 1: went says a great second year, or he could easily flock.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. Quarterbacks are very difficult to gauge. So
Speaker 1: watch the preseason for guys like that, like Mitchell Trubisky.
Speaker 1: Like you said, so, I'm really paying attention to night
Speaker 1: in that Bears game for Anthony Miller like last year.
Speaker 1: If you watched the preseason. Again, I'm not a preseason guy.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go back on that, but if you
Speaker 1: watch the preseason, how much of Jared Goff to Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup did we see? Right? It was? It was non stop,
Speaker 1: and it translated to the regular season, and it became
Speaker 1: clear that Cooper come up in the right situation, was
Speaker 1: Jared Goff's favorite receiver and that I don't think that changes.
Speaker 1: Even though you replace Sandy Watkins with Brandon Cooks and
Speaker 1: I love Robert Woods, you all mother that, but Cooper
Speaker 1: cumps in the security blanket and he's a fine late
Speaker 1: around flyer to have and you can plug him in
Speaker 1: and and hope every week. Anthony Miller could be that
Speaker 1: guy this year with Chicago, right, He's gonna be the
Speaker 1: slot receiver pretty much for Chicago. Rubisky is probably have
Speaker 1: to rely on him a lot. Not only him, but
Speaker 1: Trey Burton's an interesting one because you know, young quarterbacks
Speaker 1: like to go to the tight ends. They like to
Speaker 1: go short a lot and play it safe. But um,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I'm interested to see what Anthony, like
Speaker 1: you said preseason, you don't want to invest too much,
Speaker 1: but you do want to see what these guys have,
Speaker 1: just to see on the field, what they could do,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. See they can they could
Speaker 1: they could play ball. Um. But yeah, Anthony million interests me.
Speaker 1: But when it comes to the Rams, Cooper Cup I
Speaker 1: like a lot, but I think Robert Woods, like you said,
Speaker 1: is the guy that, like, I would want Robert Woods
Speaker 1: over Cooper Cup this year. I don't know that about it,
Speaker 1: know that about it, but I still like Cooper Cup
Speaker 1: in general. For the Cincinnati Bengals tonight, I'm looking for
Speaker 1: John Ross, Like I want to see what John Ross
Speaker 1: could do. Like he's healthy right now, He's giving an
Speaker 1: opportunity right now. I want to take the training wheels
Speaker 1: off John Ross and see what he could do. Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: this is one of the most interesting guys, uh in
Speaker 1: the NFL has a lot of guys like this out
Speaker 1: that people don't talk about. Last year he was a
Speaker 1: first round pick top ten exactly, and you know he
Speaker 1: was injured the whole year. Obvious sleep but watch him
Speaker 1: carefully because if he ends up becoming something. Remember they
Speaker 1: cut Brandon LaFell so he could be the number two
Speaker 1: our receiver on this team. Tyler Boyd is nothing more
Speaker 1: than really like a slot type receiver. H He's a
Speaker 1: possession Guy's not gonna get a lot of yak. He
Speaker 1: doesn't wire you with his skills. John Russ Kenny is
Speaker 1: a complete burner. So this is a very interesting guy
Speaker 1: I watch. He could jump up. His value could go
Speaker 1: from being a wid receiver five, which it is right
Speaker 1: now basically to a wide receiver three. You know he
Speaker 1: could jump up that much throughout preseason. So a guy
Speaker 1: to watch without a doubt. All right, for four or four, three, six, seven,
Speaker 1: Nins continue going through the preseason finding out exactly what
Speaker 1: you were excited about to watch tonight, Cross state rivalry.
Speaker 1: You got the Steelers and you got the Eagles going tonight. Eagles,
Speaker 1: you had no Carson wins, you have no Nick Foles,
Speaker 1: and we Nate Sunfeld running. Everything's not much going on
Speaker 1: from the Eagle's perspective. But you mentioned rookies menstra to me,
Speaker 1: we can see what James Washington and makes it Rudolph
Speaker 1: could do tonight. That'd be pretty cool. Yeah, that would
Speaker 1: be good. Um actually, not a bad betting game tonight
Speaker 1: for Pittsburgh because totally agree with Rudolph's a pretty high
Speaker 1: end quarterback right in the draft. And and Mike Tomlin
Speaker 1: wants to win, and Mike tom wants to win. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a very competitive guy. So what's the spreading that game?
Speaker 1: You know, I think it was plus three. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure Pittsburgh, Yeah, exactly. Um so, and yeah, James Washington,
Speaker 1: I mean, I do want to see that, but I
Speaker 1: think obviously in Pittsburgh you're you're gonna see Juju Simith, Chooser,
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, Levi on Belt those are the guys. Maybe
Speaker 1: James Washing, James Washington could be the fourth option here
Speaker 1: over the tight end Vance McDonald whoever it is. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean you're gonna you're not gonna see
Speaker 1: too much about this season, don't I wouldn't think he
Speaker 1: jumps up in value more than like a war receiver
Speaker 1: four or five. That's like his top I agree. I agree.
Speaker 1: He spoke about him yesterday with Raymond Summerland. If you
Speaker 1: get a chance to check out that, I strongly recommend
Speaker 1: you do. Next game on the schedule tonight, all he's
Speaker 1: taking place at seven PM is the Jacksonville Jaguars the
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. You're not gonna see much from the
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars, like Leonard four Nette, like Bordles, But hey,
Speaker 1: I mean we could see, uh some of these wide receivers.
Speaker 1: You're you're kealing Cole's your Diddi Westbrook step up. That's
Speaker 1: where we learned d Westbrook the first time right last
Speaker 1: year was Deed going nuts in the preseason. I think
Speaker 1: that's really interesting. And then when it comes to New Orleans,
Speaker 1: can Marion is not gonna play. So who is the
Speaker 1: third wide receiver on this team? I think we try
Speaker 1: to establish that tonight. Yeah, these are two of the
Speaker 1: most interesting wide receiver battle teams and they're going up
Speaker 1: against each other. The problem is with preseason, you you're
Speaker 1: not gonna really know who's winning the battle because you're
Speaker 1: gonna just see guys coming in and out. Jacksonville has
Speaker 1: quite honestly five wide receivers that could actually be a
Speaker 1: part of this. Uh, and I have no idea what
Speaker 1: to make of it. I like Dotor mtt Creef, but
Speaker 1: he went down in the depth chart. Obviously. Marcus Lee
Speaker 1: is the one guy you know is gonna play otherwise
Speaker 1: he got killing cold Ded Westbrook. I'm interested in all
Speaker 1: these guys. Uh, same goes for the Saints. I wanted
Speaker 1: to see Meredith stinks he can't because I think he
Speaker 1: could end up being the number two wide receiver. You
Speaker 1: know what you got in Ted Ginn. He's just a
Speaker 1: burner and that's about it. Uh. And then you know
Speaker 1: after that, that's the New Orleans wide receivers. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's really not much to look at. Is there somebody else? Uh?
Speaker 1: Trey Kwan Smith? Maybe? Yeah, he's act sleeper, ye rookie,
Speaker 1: so maybe interested to see a little bit of what
Speaker 1: he does? Absolutely? Absolutely, Uh. Tavin Bay Bucks and the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: They kick off at seven as well. For the Bucks.
Speaker 1: That's what Chris Goodwin can do, right, Like Chris god
Speaker 1: will could you rather sorry? He was supposed to a
Speaker 1: breakout candidate last year. It didn't really happen. Chris Godwin
Speaker 1: is another interesting name this year. Yeah, absolutely right now
Speaker 1: number two our receiver on the depth chart. I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna get a lot of action. This is a
Speaker 1: guy you could get at a value of like a
Speaker 1: war receiver four or five that could end up being
Speaker 1: a war receiver three on your team, could end up starting.
Speaker 1: Because it looks like DeShawn Jackson's on his way out,
Speaker 1: He's in the tail end of his career. He's gonna
Speaker 1: be a slot guy. Um so he'll it gets him
Speaker 1: actually too. But Godwin is a very interesting guy have
Speaker 1: and I think you should be uh someone you should
Speaker 1: be investing in as a flyer in your drafts. I
Speaker 1: don't know man with Jameis winz is suspending for a
Speaker 1: bunch of game for a couple of games. Rather, I
Speaker 1: don't don't think that fitz Fitzpatrick's a gunsling hill. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah he is. But but the Bucks on their
Speaker 1: first depth chart listed four starting wide receivers with Godwin,
Speaker 1: with Sean Jackson, with every Adam Humphries. Yeah, plush you
Speaker 1: at the two tight ends. You know, j Howard and
Speaker 1: Cameron Bread. That's six dudes. Yeah, that's too many. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a lot here. But I think god When rises
Speaker 1: above above those other guys, especially Humphries. I think Humphre
Speaker 1: Frees gets kids kicks to the curb as the wide
Speaker 1: receiver for so I would invest in god When over
Speaker 1: Humphries without a doubt. If you're taking a flyer Washington
Speaker 1: in New England tonight, seven thirty Darius guys all the time,
Speaker 1: Darius guys all day. I want to see it like
Speaker 1: he seems to me like another Bruiser type back. I
Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna catch a ton of beast.
Speaker 1: And he's got Chris Thompson there, so that wires me
Speaker 1: in the standard league. I think he's a great value
Speaker 1: pick because he will get the carries as no one
Speaker 1: else there. Really, I'm not worried about Rob Kelly at all.
Speaker 1: I do want to see what Rob Kelly does tonight, though,
Speaker 1: because it could be pretty funny. I don't want to
Speaker 1: see if they use him a lot Rams and Ravens.
Speaker 1: Not really on the Rams side that stood out, but
Speaker 1: for the Ravens. Joe Flacker says he's gonna play obviously
Speaker 1: did not play in the Hall of Fame game. Who
Speaker 1: does he have a veteran connection with. I think that's
Speaker 1: something to look at, depending on how long he plays. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to see uh Lamar and more Lamar Jackson too,
Speaker 1: That's who I really want to see, Lamar Jackson. I
Speaker 1: want to see if he plays a good portion of
Speaker 1: the game this time. Um, and then you know, Willie
Speaker 1: Sneed someone John Brown. These are guys that could end
Speaker 1: up being you know, Fantasy relevant. Right now, they're Flyers,
Speaker 1: but Sneed could end up being something important. Maybe Flackow
Speaker 1: has a connection with him. Like you said, we'll see
Speaker 1: who he connects with the most. Absolutely Quickly moving through,
Speaker 1: we have just two minutes left in the program. The
Speaker 1: Titans and the Packers. I'm very interested in watching Marcus
Speaker 1: Mariona and the Titans with Matt Laflores the offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: We expect so much here with the Titans with the
Speaker 1: new coaching staff, So that's what I'm most interesting in
Speaker 1: seeing there. Houston and Kansas City, Deshaun Watson's coming back
Speaker 1: Tonight venture DeShawn Watson, Yeah, highly highly valued this and
Speaker 1: Patty Mahomes the same field tonight. Oh that's who Patty
Speaker 1: Mahomes is someone I really want to see. He's a
Speaker 1: gun slinger. He's like Jake Cutler. Uh, you know, he
Speaker 1: might throw a ton of picks. He's already throwing a
Speaker 1: ton of picks in training camp. But he could be.
Speaker 1: He could run. He's got a cannon, He's got all
Speaker 1: the tools. The question news does he have the mentality
Speaker 1: for it. I don't want to see what he does tonight,
Speaker 1: even though it's a preseason game. Once again, don't invest
Speaker 1: too heavily, but just to see what he's got, what
Speaker 1: kind of tools we're working with you. I mean, you
Speaker 1: realize the next quarterback we're talking about as Jimmy G's
Speaker 1: gonna be very jealous what you just did that Shaun
Speaker 1: Watson and to beat Homes. Yeah, Jimmy G. Listen, I
Speaker 1: I watched him a lot last year. I think you
Speaker 1: know where you're gonna get from. You're not gonna see
Speaker 1: too much. I don't think tonight. I think he'll be
Speaker 1: pulled KNDA early. Obviously, Um, he's the guy there. This
Speaker 1: is a guy I think that you know, his value
Speaker 1: could fluctuate and a lot of people are taking him
Speaker 1: way too hard. Maybe I'm talking him ut people too much,
Speaker 1: but I mean, this is a guy that should be
Speaker 1: a top twelve quarterback though. That's one thing I know
Speaker 1: for sure. And we'll see. We'll see obviously very soon.
Speaker 1: If he is one more game on the schedule tonight,
Speaker 1: it's the Indianapolis Colts, It's the Seattle Seahawks. Andrew Lux return,
Speaker 1: Andrew Lux debut. This might be the most exciting thing
Speaker 1: a lot of people are worried about Andrew Luck. I
Speaker 1: think based on what I'm hearing, that this guy is
Speaker 1: ready to go. We'll see the connection between him and
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton and Ty Hilton WHI obvios to flow
Speaker 1: up your board. If he does well tonight, absolutely, Chris,
Speaker 1: we appreciate it. Uh well, I'll talk to you later.
Speaker 1: Thanks for having absolutely tomorrow on the show. E Wise
Speaker 1: here Eric Young in studio. It'll be fun. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much for watching. We'll see tomorrow, we hope.
