Now, 0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:23.600 here's your host, Paul Chargian. 0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:27.800 Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Charchie and 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:31.520 it's a Draft day edition. Brian Johnson, your excitement level 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:32.640 very excited. 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:35.959 How excited are you two after this podcast? You can 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:38.159 you've been talking to a microphone for what forty eight 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.360 straight hours? Feel that way about the draft? 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:44.840 Yes, but it's excited to bring it all together. And 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:47.639 this time I get to talk about this draft strictly 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:51.080 from a fantasy perspective, which is great. That's what we love. 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:55.480 That's what we're here for. Ten players, fantasy players taken 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.639 in the in the first round of the draft, and 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.440 we will recap all of them, landing spots where we 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:03.320 think they're gonna go good bad. 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.280 They're not all good. Some some of these spots were 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:07.440 not ideal. 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.600 Jackson Smith and Jigbod you know, just. 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:12.880 Not to tip my hand to watch a couple couple 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.240 head scratchers. Can I vent real quick. At this must 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:19.120 be at least the fifth year they've been doing like 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.240 the primetime thing. Round one is on Friday or Thursday. 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.920 Round Yeah, at least that long. 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:28.280 I with every year that passes, I miss the weekend 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.720 draft on even more. Yeah, I love rolling out of 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:35.600 bed right just turning on ESPN at like eleven and 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.560 just leaving it on for for for two straight days, 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.640 I know, and like like the pretty Internet days, like 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.840 you could only rely on the ticker at the bottom. 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.320 That was it. Like say you tune like round four, 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:49.240 you missed a couple rounds, and like I know it 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.160 always tune in and like right when like the Giants 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:53.880 pick would go by and you're like, ah, you have 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.640 to sit there and watch twenty minutes before it went 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.280 all the way through and back with those those were 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.160 the days. But of course watching every second of this, 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:04.520 it's great that it's finally happening. 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:08.480 Yeah, it's the drama. It's it's soap opera for sports fans, 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:09.840 and it's yeah, I love it. 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:14.799 And it's a culminations cumulation, culmination, culmination. Thank you of problem. 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:19.400 Several months of speculation by us and a year of 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:23.480 work by these teams and you know, it's when you 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:27.400 learn how much effort the teams put into this. One 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:29.800 of our guests on my local radio show in kfa 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:33.720 N was the longtime director of college scouting for the Vikings, 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:35.920 Scott Studwell, and he was saying, you know, every one 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:37.760 of these drafts, we had a we had profiles of 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:41.760 one thousand players, Like, there's only going to be two 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:46.480 hundred and whatever sixty drafted. We got a thousand, Like sure, 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:47.280 was it overkill? 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:47.760 Always? 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:49.760 But you never wanted to be in a position where 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.399 you know, your general manager would come up and say 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.440 what about this guy, and that you have no answer. 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.240 It may definitely drill in off the field stuff. And 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.040 you know, like the movie Draft Day, everyone knows like 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.000 the infamous, you know, like who went to Bo Callahan's 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.720 birthday party. That's probably not that far off in terms 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.320 of the research they do. 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.680 Uh, the Will Levis slide, there was tons of drama. 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.560 I I'm totally cool with that. It's obviously obviously work 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.320 got out on Levis. There were plenty of teams that 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.280 needed quarterbacks that passed, and you know there's there were 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.359 there were concerns for sure, but we'll you'll. 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.000 Go early early early second round. There are some teams 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:25.639 that should be drafting him. 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.040 Tennessee I believe as the eleventh pick in. 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.480 The second the Rams have like the third or fourth 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.520 MS makes sense. Yeah, Seattle I think is in the 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:34.160 top ten. 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:35.920 Seattle's thirty seven. 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:40.000 Yeah, yeah, there are Tennessees in that range. 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.920 Tennessee I mentioned, right, Yeah, there are other teams. And 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.200 you know, if I were Atlanta, I'd be thinking about it. 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:46.800 But that's just me. 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.600 But other people think Atlanta's set at quarterback forever. 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.400 The real knock on Levis is the mayo and the coffee, 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.160 which I don't get that one. 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.120 The banana peel, eating the banana. 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.760 I did the research. Hold on, let me pull us up. Really, 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.640 I'm going to start putting banana peels in my smoothies. 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:04.280 I'm not straight up eating the banana peel, but I'll 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:04.520 put it. 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:08.880 You'll make it into a smooth it'll be all, it'll stringy, I'll. 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:10.920 Chop it up good. So you're straight from Google, So 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:14.240 it has to be true. Banana peels are packed with polypethanol, 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:15.960 poly phenols. 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:21.560 Oh that's what I need, some polyphenox carotin, carotenoids. 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.000 That's probably not how you pronounce it, and other antioxidants 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.799 that fight cancer causing free radicals in your body. Eating 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:31.440 more banana peels, especially green unripe peels, can increase your 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.000 antioxidant levels and help reduce your risk of cancer. 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:38.159 So I'm gonna roll the dice on the cancer. 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.760 Yeah, they can't taste good, and the little like stem 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:44.960 that no stems out on the way out on the 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.560 way out of that would not work out. 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:51.440 Let's go through these picks in order the order they 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:55.520 were selected. Uh, the least surprising selection of the entire 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.080 night was Carolina going Bryce Young. 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.120 Yeah, supposedly. I mean why would they announced. I feel 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.280 like every draft the last ten years, if the quarterbacks 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.320 going first, even if it's a non quarterback, the team 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.520 will announce it. And they bled the clock too. 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.120 But that's just the annoying part is why are they 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.920 bleeding the clock? Why did they use the full ten minutes? 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.520 Well, I think ESPN makes them do that for programming. 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:23.080 Advertised very well be but yes, as expected Bryce Young. 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.799 So from a fantasy perspective, I think there is great news. 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.360 I'm a Bryce Young believer. I do believe that Carolina 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.720 nailed the best quarterback in this draft, or the best 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:37.520 prospect in this draft? Is he the best fantasy prospect? Well, no, 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.560 because Anthony Richardson's upside is higher. 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:42.119 We'll talk about him in a minute, of course. 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.440 But what Bryce Young is going to do is deliver 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:48.279 a very catchable ball to the weapons that he's got on. 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.880 The weapons he's got right now are middling, but Bryce 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.800 Young will in time have better weapons around him. And 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:58.880 I think he's an extremely safe dynasty selection, fantasy use. 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.800 Maybe a fringe starter this year, you know, once in 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:07.440 a you know, super a super flex starter often, yeah, 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:09.800 but a one quarterback starter rarely. 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.200 Yeah. The only knock on him is this, he's a 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:16.159 little undersized, but there have been a successful undersized quarterbacks 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.239 in NFL history, and yeah, and redraft for redraft purposes 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.640 in one quarterback league, he's been going as quarterback twenty 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.960 two And that's not going to change a whole lot 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.719 because people were basically expecting him to be drafted by Carolina. 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:31.120 So not not the top backup fantasy quarterback I'm gonna 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.640 be targeting, but uh, we'll see, We'll see how it goes. 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.719 I mean, Carolina, like you said, they had some decent 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:40.240 options for him. To throw too. Uh So, yeah, a 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.599 safe pick, not the sexiest, but the safest pick. 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.279 Houston put their big boy pants on and went with 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:51.080 picks two and three. We care about CJ. Stroud, so 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:55.440 let's talk that through. Stroud is got a kind of 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.480 a dearth of weapons. That part is going to be 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:03.440 a complicating factor for him. Nico Collins, Robert Woods, Noah Brown. 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:09.600 Maybe John Michi will step up and end up, you know, 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.680 having the kind of career that we you know, we'd 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:15.360 hope he'd have, minus the leukemia. So that might be, 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.760 you know, that might be a factor. But I just 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.400 you know, from a surroundings standpoint, I love what they're 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.440 building in Houston. I don't know that that this is 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.440 going to pay off in fantasy terms significantly in the 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:27.120 short term. 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.320 Yeah, when they made the Stroud pick, before they traded 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.240 up to three, they held the twelfth pick, and it 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.320 seems like, okay, they're going to take Jackson Smith and 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.840 Jagway with a twelve. Yes, Stroud's teammate at Ohio State, 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:41.840 but that didn't happen. So and by the way, we 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.360 don't talk you're tired of talking reality football or those angles. 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.000 But Houston gave up way too much. 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.400 They did that to move, Yeah, to move from twelve 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.520 to three. Yeah, the Cardinals could surrounder a first round 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:53.920 or a second rounder and a third rounder. 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:55.800 Come on, the Cardinals could have the top two picks 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:57.960 next year because Houston is not going to be that good. 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:02.000 But Stroud up amazing numbers in college. But he played 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.680 on an amazing team at Ohio State. They're head and 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:09.000 shoulders above every other team in college football. Good arm, 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:13.240 not great, He's accurate, good pocket awareness, but again, his 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.280 pockets aren't gonna be as clean in the NFL as 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.560 they were at Ohio State. He's not really known for 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.560 his mobility or his ability to improvise under pressure, but 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.520 he can improve on that. But in terms of redraft 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:27.880 and dynasty, he's a tick below Bryce Young to me, 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.640 just because of the weapons around him. Yeah, primarily really, 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.360 at least this year, Houston's got a Yeah, they got 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.160 to bolster that arsenal a little bit for for Stroud 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:40.040 to really succeed. So he's going a little bit after 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:44.400 Bryce Young and redraft leagues around QB twenty four. But 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:48.600 but yeah, again Young Stroud. The safer picks, the sexier 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.080 pick is who we are going to talk about next. 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.679 Yeah, the next going up is Anthony Richardson and this 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:58.800 is this is my preferred fantasy quarterback because of the 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:00.760 rushing upside that he gives you. And we all know 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.840 that rushing quarterbacks are cheat code in fantasy and you 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:08.040 can win leagues with the right rushing quarterback, and anthink Richardson. 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:08.600 Gives you that upside. 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:14.480 Now, obviously ultra ultra raw product who may not see 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.040 the field for a long time this year. You know, 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.160 not that Gardner Minshew's great, but he's If you ask 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.120 me who's starting Week one, I think there's at least 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.000 a fifty to fifty chance it's Gardner Minshew. 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:26.840 I think it's got to be Gardner Minshew. I mean, 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.080 Richardson has started thirteen college games. That's it. I mean, 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.160 you it doesn't matter how good of an athlete you 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.360 are going into the NFL. I can't say from experience, 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.280 but it's not easy to play quarterback in the NFL, 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.720 especially when you only play thirteen started thirteen games in 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:45.960 college right as a quarterback. So yeah, Richardson really more. 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.679 You know, he's the top dynasty target if you're not 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.160 drafting Bijon Robinson, whether you're in a one quarterback or 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:52.960 super flex leagues, or I think Bijon is really going 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.719 to go first in both formats. I think Richardson is 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.400 the second pick over over Stroud and Young. 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:00.839 Yeah, big arm he could you know in time, if 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.800 it turns out Richardson can pass, you know, his upside 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:09.800 is the highest scoring fantasy quarterback in the league. That's 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:13.400 the kind of upside Richardson could potentially give you. Nobody 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.800 else in this draft class has that kind of upside. 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:22.920 He's almost quite literally the most freakish athlete prospects. Yeah, 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:24.760 at any position in NFL history. 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.440 Michael Pittman is a legitimate target. Alec Pierce had some 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:33.520 promising moments last year. After that, the receiver talent dries up. 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.360 But I like the tight ends, you know, you know 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:37.840 I feel about Johnny Woods. 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.559 He's a monster. He's bigger than the offensive lineman we've 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.240 seen him six eight. 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:47.200 I love my tight ends like that. 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.720 And yeah, like you said, Jonathan Taylor to hopefully keep 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:54.920 defensive defenses honest, So but again, I'll be the Colts 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.200 have to be out of it, mathematically eliminated for him 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.400 to see the field. In my opinion. Granted that might 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:04.040 only take seven or eight weeks. I think odds are 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.480 will see Richardson on the field. But I'm with you, 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.880 I think they got to roll with Minshew at least 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:10.640 the first month two months of the season. 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:16.320 The next player up Atlanta drafted Bejon Robinson. There had 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.599 been a lot of talk that this was a possibility. 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:23.080 This was the highest realistic landing spot for Bijon, and 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:26.160 he goes here and for all the people like running 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.199 backs can never go in the first you know, shouldn't 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:29.800 ever go in the first round, Well, you know, we 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.560 had guys go at eight and twelve, So this is 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:36.680 the first And from a landing spot, it's fascinating because 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.680 we know the Falcons want to run a lot, but 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.120 everything they've ever shown us suggests they want to do 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:43.119 it in a committee. 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:47.960 Yeah. And Tyler l Gier over a thousand yards last 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.319 year as a fourth round rookie did great. But he's 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.680 he's done essentially. From a fantasy perspective, I mean, he's 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.640 a handcuff if you happen to have Bijon. But yeah, 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.360 Arthur Smith loves to run the ball. But man, if 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:04.880 you're drafting Bjon Robinson, eighth overall, he'd better be getting 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:08.920 seventy seventy five percent of the touches and and that 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:12.040 that's carries and receiving. He's an elite receiver, runs a 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:16.160 full route tree and that NFC South is wide open. 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.200 So it is Yeah, Falcons could win it as easily 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:19.920 as anybody else. 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.079 Yep, they have a good chance of getting in the tournament. 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.440 The playoff set is so they better really use Bijon 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.079 and a bell cow roller the closest thing you can 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.800 to it. And again number one pick in most formats, 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.520 dynasty leagues, and right now, even before the draft, he 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.600 was going as RB four. Yeah, on underdog and there's 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.240 a good landing spot and we I think now he's 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.959 going to get up in that RB two range right 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:47.880 after McCaffrey. He's gonna challenge Jonathan Taylor and Austin Eckler. 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:49.679 People are sort of falling out of favor with him. 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.920 But Robinson was a threat to go to the Chargers. 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.760 That didn't happen, So I think Eckler is a little 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:58.439 safer than he was pre draft. But yeah, Bijon easily 0:12:58.480 --> 0:12:59.800 top three running back in redraft. 0:12:59.880 --> 0:13:05.720 Right Atlanta had the second highest rushing play percentage behind 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.920 only Chicago. But Chicago did it based on running their quarterback. 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:14.360 The Falcons didn't. From a pure running back standpoint, Atlanta 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:18.960 was number one. And that's why Bijon Scott so is 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:22.360 such a tantalizing opportunity. We know Arthur Smith wants to 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.920 run the ball, and we also know that Bejon Robinson's 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.640 a special back. What will be fascinating to find out 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.840 is does Arthur Smith, when given the talent that Bejon 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:37.920 Robinson have, has go Derrick Henry on the situation and 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:42.439 really have and really crystallized on one player like Arthur 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:46.679 Smith used to in Tennessee. Or does he like to 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:48.880 play around with a bunch of different running backs in 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:49.800 a committee like he. 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:51.440 Did the last couple of years. 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:53.320 Or was that just a product of the fact that 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.880 nobody deserved all the carries. 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.839 Only time will tell. But I don't love this from 0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:01.040 a Kyle Pitts perspective. 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.080 You don't love this from a Kyle Pitts perspective. And 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.319 this is my ongoing concern with Kyle Pitts. 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:08.959 And you didn't hear this. Uh. 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.400 We did a Fantasy Football Weekly micro Tyler and I 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:13.480 Tyler took your side of this, and my my main 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.000 thing is it's not about whether Kyle Pitts is good 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.120 or bad. He's in an offense that's never going to 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:21.440 feature him, and this cements that storyline. 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:25.760 I believe this would This should, uh, you know, take 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.000 some pressure off Pits though, as long as he's not 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.520 blocking for Bjohn Robinson. But hopefully that's uh John new 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:32.360 Smith's job. Now. 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:33.240 Tyler L. 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.600 Geer pennies on the dollar in Dynasty. 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:39.920 Formats pretty much. Uh, Matt, Matt Harrison, you are a 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:44.080 co host. He offered me Tyler L. Geer for the 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.360 tenth pick in our Empire League draft, and I was like, 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:50.320 I'm gonna see because if you recall when we did 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:52.680 running Back a couple of weeks ago, DraftKings sports Book 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:54.640 nailed it. They had the Falcons had the best odds. 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:56.880 They were like plus five hundred draft bijon. So I'm like, 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.200 I'm not I'm not traded in the tenth overall pick 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.960 for be John Robinson's likely backup. 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:07.400 Let's go to pick number twelve in a very surprising spot, 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:11.680 Jamiir Gibbs, who we love, ends up with Detroit. Now Detroit, 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.880 we just did a fantasy football micro on David Montgomery, 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.720 and I picked that because I with DeAndre Swift there, 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.760 I didn't think they were likely to put an early 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.040 pick into running back, so I thought we could pretty 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:26.520 safely talk about Montgomery as the probable lead back and 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.720 the probable goal line back, which he still is because 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:32.560 Jamior Gibbs is not that kind of player, but fascinating 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:37.680 landing spot on an ascending offense, and man, jam Gibbs 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:38.640 is exciting, he. 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:42.760 Is, and supposedly if the Lions weren't able to trade 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:45.400 down because they had the sixth, sixth pick, they were 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:46.400 gonna still take Gibbs. 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:47.440 It says a lot. 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:49.920 So yeah, and they could have traded down again, by 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.560 the way, Yeah, they loved and no one was taking 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:56.520 him anywhere. No, no, maybe not even the first round. 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:58.040 I mean, no other running backs got taken in the 0:15:58.040 --> 0:15:58.760 first round, so. 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:02.160 I think so Cincinnati would have taken him, got all 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.000 the way, you know, had he slid all the way 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:05.840 to wherever they were thirty, I think so. 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.200 Yeah, probably the biggest head scratcher from round one, at 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.600 least from a you know, a fantasy perspective, until they 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.840 trade DeAndre Swift, which seems inevitable at this point Detroit 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.280 and Gibbs will slide into that role an elite receiver 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.240 and it's a great spot for him. Jared Goff was 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.880 thirtieth in average depth of target last year. But yeah, 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.240 David Montgomery probably gonna still get the goal line work. 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:32.640 But Gibbs was going around running back seventeen before the draft, 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.960 and I you know, people might be scared until Swift 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.760 gets traded. But again, that's that's gonna happen at some point, 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.240 one would think. And I could see Gibbs getting up 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:45.040 in that top twelve range for running backs in PPR formats. 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:47.320 Yeah, I can too. I can too. 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:49.280 We're talkingpr eighty catches. 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.480 I feel like for he could have eighty catches and 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:56.240 he's so dynamic after the catch and so fast he 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:56.920 could score. 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:58.040 You know, he's gonna be go on to this guy. 0:16:58.040 --> 0:16:58.440 He's going to. 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:02.280 Score some thirty forty fifth yard touchdowns. My worry end 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:05.879 Gibbs is just inside the five. It's gonna be Jamal 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.840 Williams all over again with David Montgomery now, and that 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:13.200 Gibbs is going to need to score those longer touchdowns 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:14.399 in order to get to the end. 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:14.880 Zone. 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:17.520 So we could have a very nice season, but said 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:21.000 at six touchdowns on the year for Jamier Gibbs as possible. 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:22.720 But special back. 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:27.440 Special talent would have been first running back taken in 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.520 most drafts, just not this one because Bjohn Robinson is 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:35.000 a bonkers All right, let's take a break. When we 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:40.600 come back, let's dig into the remaining first round fantasy players. 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:43.600 We'll start up with Jackson Smith and Jigba who finds 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:56.520 himself in a peculiar position. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly, 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:58.760 Paul Charchi and Brian Johnson. Please follow us at Paul 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:02.879 Charchian on Twitter, b t XJ is Brian on Twitter 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.119 as well. 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.800 If you were following me, I tweeted last week I 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.399 was in Atlantic City making some future bets and one 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:13.960 of my favorite value bets was Seattle to win the 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.879 NFC West. They were practically four to one. Oh and 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.000 after this draft, and especially this pick we're going to 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:20.960 talk about. I even checked the odds, but I'm sure 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.840 they've gone how would you say, gone? Down? Up? Yeah? 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:25.280 Right? 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:26.760 Probably round two to one at this point. 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.480 That might be the two good too interesting, well good 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:30.880 I think good picks in this draft. 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:34.159 Yeah, the top wide receiver in the top cornerback right 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:34.960 on paper. 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:38.880 That's that certainly helps Jackson Smith and Jigba is somebody 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:41.920 that we expected to go a lot earlier than pick twenty, 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:45.920 but he finds himself now in a crowded set of 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.360 receivers in which it may be difficult for him to 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.600 distinguish himself. What are your thoughts on the fantasy prospects 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:52.120 for him here? 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:55.640 Yeah, he's certainly going to have competition for targets with 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:59.600 David David Why am I was gonna say dj d 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:00.680 at Calf. 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:01.800 And Tyler Lockett for sure? 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:09.800 Big boon for Gino. Smith really targets quarterback sixteen, which 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.239 was still late in my mind because he was a 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:17.560 borderline top five fantasy quarterback last year, So huge for him. 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.400 But yeah, we expected JSN to go to the Texans 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:22.720 or somewhere where he was a lock for one hundred 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:26.120 plus targets. He might not hit that threshold unless something 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:28.879 would happen to Metcalf or Locket. But still have to 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.639 like him in this offense, which i've I've dubbed the 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:34.320 Legion of Zoom. No, I don't know if anyone has 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:35.440 beat me today. 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:38.800 A zoom just because they're fast. Yeah, yeah, there's something. 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:41.480 To zoom me off. I kind of like that. But yeah, 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.840 Jigbit not the fastest guy, but neither were Cooper Cup, 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:48.440 DeVante Adams, Mike Evans, Brandon Ayuk, CD lamb A. J. Brown, 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.040 who all ran four or five forty. So that doesn't 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:55.480 matter until it's so overrated. For receivers, Yeah, size, and 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:58.120 it's how well you run your routes and how well 0:19:58.119 --> 0:19:59.240 you catch the ball, and that's what. 0:19:59.280 --> 0:19:59.960 Can you get open? 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:02.400
