Speaker 1: Scott Fish. Hi, guys, what's going on? Great to this

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: is we now know basically everything we're going to know

10
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: going into Week one for our drafts. It's it's all

11
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: been laid bare. And best part about it, healthiest preseason

12
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: we've had ever. I've never been part of a preseason

13
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: that's had one mid tier significant injury. Tim Patrick, that's it.

14
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,639
Speaker 1: I'd worry about Brian Robinson. Yeah, well, okay, I'd worry

15
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: about you jinxing it, but I don't see how that

16
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: could happen. I think we're I think we're finally safe

17
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: to talk about it. I love that part of the

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: how this offseason has gone. Someone is like slipping in

19
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: the shower right now. The whole league just start the season.

20
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: There's been a long off season, but it is. We're

21
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: so close to the start of the season now that

22
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: the last segment of the show, we will do our

23
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football weekly style breakdown of the Thursday night game

24
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: letter grades for all the players, just the way we

25
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: normally do our in season stuff. It's already here. I

26
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: can't wait. We'll start the show by talking about the

27
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,919
Speaker 1: one thing that you need to know about each team's preseason.

28
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: And when I say one thing, I'm guessing it's gonna

29
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: be like two to five. Yeah. We'll talk about who

30
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: won all the training camp battles that we talked about

31
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: in our first preseason show as we were looking forward

32
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: to training camp. We'll play three tough questions our favorite

33
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: game on this show, which teammate is the better one

34
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: to draft? We will give you a pair of teammates

35
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: and say who would you draft at their A DP

36
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 1: guy A or guy or teammate be well? And then

37
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: this is the c y A segment of our preseason

38
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: called I Might Be Wrong, where we confess the things A.

39
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: How old am I? What is c Y? A? Cover

40
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: your okay? Okay, yeah, right, art? Cover your art? Man?

41
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, can you can you not say our

42
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: can we not say Art Park on this show? Okay, alright, alright,

43
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: there we go. Let's do it. Cover your ardvark. Alright,

44
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: let's go through each of the teams. Feel really old

45
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: right now? Stuff abbreviating stuff. Let's go through the one

46
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: thing you need to know about each team's preseason. We

47
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: begin with Scott Fish and the Carolina Panthers. Yeah, they

48
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: most recently they traded for laviska channel. Don't know what

49
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: role he's going to be in that offense, but it's

50
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: another weapon for the Baker mayfield that offense with Sam

51
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: donald on officially put on I R now, all right, Brian,

52
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders. So Darren Waller wasn't practicing basically

53
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 1: all preseason training camp, but he got his contract extension

54
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: that wanted and he's on the coincidence I think not,

55
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: but needless to say, I am very happy, and you

56
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: guys are so say that he's most people are like

57
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: so Waller should be on track to play in Week one.

58
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: And it's also worth noting that the Raiders released offensive

59
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: tackle Alex Leatherwood, who was the seventeenth offensive tackle. Alex

60
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: Leatherwood on a team with one of the worst offensive

61
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: line in the draft lest year ago. I mean he

62
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: I forget the name of the award he won, like

63
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: the best offensive lineman award in one went to Alabama,

64
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: who just you know, turns out lead players at all level.

65
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: So he's gone. I mean that JaMarcus. Nothing will top

66
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: the JaMarcus Russell pick by the Raiders. But this might

67
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: be the second worst pick in uh yeah, I mean,

68
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: if not league history, franchise history. JaMarcus r Also was

69
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: a total disaster first pick overall in the draft. But

70
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: at least they're getting out of Alex Leatherwood fast, right,

71
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: I mean with JaMarcus, that thing lingered on for like

72
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: three years before they and that was pre you know,

73
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: it's it's when the contracts were huge for the one. Yeah,

74
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: that was right, it was, that's right. But he blew

75
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: it all on purple drank. Remember that. Remember Vince Young

76
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: blew it all on Friday's. He went to Friday's lot

77
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: and just paid for everyone's meals at Fridays and he

78
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: just loved t g came from a good place in

79
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: his heart. But the Raiders offensive line is a concern

80
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: when you're cutting the seventeenth the whole wick Who's supposed

81
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: to feel a major void and he didn't, And uh

82
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: so I'm a little concerned there, but still gonna be

83
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: exciting offense. Yeah, as it made. As it turns out,

84
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: it could be that your favorite TV commentators are not

85
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: meant to be general managers. That's a possibility. Let's go

86
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: to the Packers. I've been updating you on the Packers

87
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: offensive line all preseason because this is a pretty big story.

88
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: Elkin Jenkins and David botr is still not practicing with

89
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: the team. They've been doing individual workouts for a couple

90
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: of weeks, but that's it. And when asked if they'd

91
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: be ready for Week one, head coach Matt Lafleur used

92
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: the term hard to project and then said, I have

93
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: no idea. So this offensive line continues to be in

94
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: flux for the Packers. What's the one thing people need

95
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: to know about the Washington commander Scott so Brian Robinson

96
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: was shot in a carjacking last week. He was released

97
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: from the hospital and was at the team facility the

98
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: next day. They did put him on the n f

99
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: n f I list, so he will miss the first

100
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: four weeks, but it does sound like Robinson and Mkissic

101
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: are going to share that role for a while. Yeah,

102
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: Gibson and kiss Let's go to Brian and the Buffalo

103
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: Bills starting slot. Who should be the starting slot? Wide

104
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: receiver Isaiah Mackenzie a little iffy for the opener next

105
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: Thursday at the Rams within undisclosed injury, So if he

106
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: were to miss that game, Jamison Crowder would certainly benefit.

107
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: But I like a rookie wide receiver Khalil Shakier a

108
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: little bit more. We'll talk about him a little later

109
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: in the show, but I think Mackenzie should be good

110
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: to go. I think a lot of these questionables were

111
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: seeing are really probable. But h and we'll have all

112
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: the Week one breakdowns next week on Fantasy Full more

113
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: weekly as we go through all the matchups for the Texans.

114
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: The biggest Fantasy story of the entire preseason is Damien Pierce.

115
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: And look, I those of you that actually listened to

116
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: the show going all the way back to the draft,

117
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: you're way way ahead of the story. We loved him

118
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: here all. We loved him before the draft. We loved

119
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: the landing spot in the draft, we loved him coming

120
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: into the preseason, and we loved him even more after

121
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: we got to see him throughout the preseason games. That's

122
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: a double peak double that that was like at least

123
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: a double peaking. Now he hasn't actually done anything yet.

124
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: He hasn't scored a fan oh no yet. So no,

125
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: we we put Hall of Fame jackets on in the

126
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: off season. That's what we do. We do. And but

127
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: here's what I can say. What's confidence is if you

128
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: had draft, if you had an early draft, and you

129
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: based just on what you're hearing in the show, you

130
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: got him many many rounds. Where he's going now, that

131
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: part is great. Now, So where are you taking Damian

132
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: Pierce right now? In my draft? I'm seeing him go

133
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: roughly fourth round. So I saw him late third in

134
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: the draft, and I was a little shocked by that, honestly,

135
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: But I've seen him mostly in the fourth recently. Let's

136
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: go to the Bucks. What's the one thing you need

137
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: to know about their off season? Mostly it's just the

138
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: offensive line. They're they're missing a couple of starters, they

139
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: lost a couple of starters from last year. They they

140
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: have three injuries currently on on on that offensive line too,

141
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: are going to be gone for the season. So that's

142
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a rough spot for them. Yeah, for sure.

143
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: Everybody is very nervous about the Bucks right now. I

144
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: just got Mike Evans mid third round of a draft.

145
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: I mean it just the bottoms fallen out of the Bucks.

146
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: From a point Cleveland Browns Brian the Browns claimed a

147
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: guy named Kellen Mond quarterback. Have heard of him off waivers? Yes,

148
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: further cementing Jacoby percent as the starter. What is that

149
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: eleven eleven games games? Kellen Mond Brown? Let's go to

150
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: the Colts. Matt Ryan looked comfortable in his new offense,

151
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: should be a steady fantasy performer, and could put Michael

152
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: Pittman on a big season. I'm a believer. The other

153
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: starting wide receivers that have emerged over the course of

154
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: the preseason for the Colts Alex Pierce, rookie wide receiver,

155
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: gonna start, and the still at this moment healthy Paris

156
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: Campbell ready to roll into regular season action, healthy running

157
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: from the slot. Paris Campbell. Alec Pierce is a nicely ber.

158
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: He was nicely ber a couple of weeks ago. You

159
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: guys are right, Detroit Lions Scott Reports are and have

160
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: been really all off season, the Jameson Williams has been

161
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: ahead of schedule. Those those surfaced again in the last week.

162
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: Remember it was the torn a c l in the

163
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: National Championship Game, so that was early February, So he's

164
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: only about seven months out. But those reports that thought

165
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: he might be back by late October could happen. So

166
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: if you're in home leagues this weeks, grabbing him at

167
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: the end of your draft, stationing him on I are

168
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: is not a not a bad play for such an

169
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: explosive guy. I'm kind of upset they haven't featured him

170
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: in Hard Knocks at all. I know he's not, but

171
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: his story is worth telling. The guy would have been

172
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: the first wide receiver taken most likely if he didn't

173
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: get injured. And I just think there's not a lot

174
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: to tell past that, right, Yeah, except except for it,

175
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: like he is on the field with like a lot

176
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: of guys when they're injured, they they're off the field,

177
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: maybe they're not even he's been on the field hanging

178
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: out with the players, like walking around, etcetera. Like he's

179
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: with them. He wants to be part of it. So

180
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: we didn't get to see whatever his rookie hazing bit

181
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: would be and maybe we've seen a lot of them right,

182
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: but not his Jamison Williams, Brian when I when I

183
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: think of the Jets preseason, and the one thing that

184
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: I think is most is the big storyline here, Bruce

185
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: Hall just not able to walk out of this preseason

186
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: as the sure number one started rolling into the season. No,

187
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: it sounds like Michael Carter. Michael Carter is the starter.

188
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: We'll talk about those two a little later. When I

189
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: think of the Jets, I think a west side story.

190
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: I don't know you, I don't think the football team

191
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of the reboot wasn't bad,

192
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: but not as not as good as the original. I

193
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: only saw the original because they showed it in high school.

194
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: It was one of those substitute teachers. But and talking

195
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 1: about the Jets of the football team, Zack Wilson not

196
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: officially ruled out for Week one so he could make

197
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: the start against the Ravens. But as you alluded to earlier,

198
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: we'll discuss that in further detail next week. For the Chiefs,

199
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: what you need to know about their preseason, we gained

200
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: really very little clarity at wide receiver because all the

201
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 1: presumed starters got hurt at some point. Juju got hurt,

202
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: sky More got hurt, NBS got hurt. But it looks

203
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: like they're all going to be playing. Clyde Edwards A layers,

204
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: you're starting running back, but after that we don't know.

205
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, for what looks like Isaiah Pacheco

206
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: might be the guy than Ronald Jones made made the

207
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: team on a strong final preseason game. Jerick mckinnons a

208
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: utility guy. I think the only safe play right now

209
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: appears to be Clyde Edwards. Let's go to the Seahawks.

210
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: Scott uh Ken Walker did have it at hernia surgery.

211
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: He's feeling better, but it doesn't sound like he's likely

212
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: for a week one, although Pete Carroll said he was

213
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: throwing the ball around at practice, which that's that's that's

214
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: something you want to hear about your running back. Uh.

215
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: Maybe that's something about his rehab because normally p D.

216
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: Sunshine says glowing things. Yeah, that's maybe. So he's saying

217
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: it's a it's a quiet day. Yeah, yeah, that he's

218
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: not going to be ready. Bryan, what's the one thing

219
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: people need to know about the Broncos preseason. Uh, there's

220
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: some hype around rookie tight end Greg Dulchich Bob, but

221
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: he was placed on I R with hamstring issues, so

222
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna be out at least of four games. Meaning

223
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: it's um, I gonna call him Albert. Oh, Scott, you'll

224
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: correct me if I get this wrong. I was gonna

225
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,599
Speaker 1: try it at least, but you're really you are the

226
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 1: pronounce on this show. It's Albert season. You can't really

227
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: just get that on the button. We don't need it,

228
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: you don't need I'll just stop here every week. Problem.

229
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: I need the reps here for the next day for

230
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: the Rams. The thing you need to know from their preseason.

231
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: After missing most really almost really the entire preseason with

232
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: unspecified injuries, Cam Akers Darryl Henderson returned to practice this Um,

233
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: we'll keep an eye on backup runner Kyron Williams as well. Um,

234
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: if you're skeptical about Acres and his recovery, and you're

235
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: skeptical about Henderson just because he didn't really shine last

236
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: a year when he had the chance, maybe Williams is

237
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: a factor at some point this year. But UM, we

238
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: didn't really gain a ton of clarity on on where

239
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: Acres is. And we're really no clarity whatsoever Whereakers is

240
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: in his return. Let's go to the Eagles Brian Scott

241
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders was practicing, back, practicing, finally, finally his backpracticing. Uh.

242
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: And they claimed Trace Sermon off waivers, which is of

243
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 1: note because forty Niners GM John Lynch said Sermon was

244
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: one of their best players in cap before he caught.

245
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: Don't listen to That's exactly what I put. Never believe,

246
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: John Lynch. At this point, they also acquired in book

247
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: from the Saints. The Saints traded Chauncey Gardner Johnson Chauncey

248
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson punch Face in late draft pick swaps, and

249
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: they also traded return man Jalen Reagor to the Vikings.

250
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: A lot of moves for the Eagles in the last

251
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: week here for sure. And I love the Chauncey Gardner

252
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: Johnson pick up. Yes, yes, I call him punch Face

253
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: because he makes wide receivers want him to want to

254
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: punch him in the face. It's been multiple wide receivers

255
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: from multiple teams now may be good for even his

256
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: own team. If I recall once Miami Dolphins Brian uh

257
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: Sony Walkman was released or cut, which makes me love

258
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 1: Chase Edmunds even more. He's still going way too low

259
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: in my opinion. And also there was some concern about

260
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle's availability for one, but he's been back at

261
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: practice sands compression sleeve on legs, so he should be

262
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: good to go. But again, well, we'll talk about that

263
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: more next week when we break down all the matchups.

264
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: The Viking starters did not play in the preseason. The

265
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: backup running back running back spot is very unsettled. For

266
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time. The preseason's best

267
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: runner was fifth round rookie Tie Chandler, followed by Kena

268
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: wong Wu and Alexander Madison has been the subject of

269
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: trade speculation, and it's not clear that he's going to

270
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: get any more work than these other guys are. The

271
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: public has not caught up to that Addison go as

272
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: the Madison we had last That is a mistake. There

273
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: is a lot of risk on assuming that Alexander Madison

274
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: is going to get much of any work in any game,

275
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: and that he would get the majority of carries even

276
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: if something happened to Dalvin Cook Scott. Let's go to

277
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. What's the one thing they need to

278
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: know about their preseason? Uh, yeah, we'll go back to

279
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: the loss of Tyron Smith, who's gonna miss most of

280
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: the season, But now they're only expecting him to miss

281
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: maybe half the season or so. They're they're expecting him

282
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: back sooner than we originally thought. Uh, first rounder Tyler

283
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: Smith is going to take his place at left tackle,

284
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: which is a place where you always want to Yeah. Great, perfect.

285
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: So if you can't believe John Lynch, how much can

286
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: you believe with Jerry Jones? Jerry Jones. Let's go to

287
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots. The Pats released rookie running back Kevin Harris,

288
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: who they took in the sixth round, So they're gonna

289
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: go with rookie running back Pierre Strong Junior, who they

290
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: took in the fourth round. Is our RB three, but

291
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: he's well behind Romandre Stevenson and Damien Harris, who will

292
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: also break down a little more time. Montgomery got injured

293
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: and that's going to open up the door for Romandri

294
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: Stevenson too in these first few weeks to know what

295
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: he can do as a pass catcher. I just refused

296
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: to acknowledge time on Gummery's existence anymore. Even I'm tired

297
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: of I saw be reported for New England. Say a

298
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: New England b reporters say today he wouldn't be shocked

299
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: if Stevenson leap frogs Harris and I'm like, welcome to

300
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: what we've all been talking about for a month. Week

301
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: last team, for this segment, the thing you need to

302
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: know about the Saints with the loss of elite left

303
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: tackle Tarrant I'm armstead. In the off season, the Saints

304
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: put a first rounder into his replacement, Trevor Penning, but

305
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: now he's out and definitely after getting foot surgery, and

306
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: the Saints are down to James First at left tackle

307
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: if he can play through his own foot injury. Michael

308
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: Thomas has looked good when healthy, but he's on week

309
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: two of a hamstring injury. We're gonna watch his status

310
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: for Week one, which is currently unclear. So a lot

311
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: of injury is used for the Saints coming off a

312
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: season which they had a lot of injury issues. When

313
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: we come back, we will continue to recap the one

314
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: thing you need to know about every team's preseason and

315
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: give you the resolution to some of the key training

316
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: camp battles from around the league. Welcome back Fantasy Football

317
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: Weekly Paul Sharg and with you Guillotine leagues dot com.

318
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: My cheat sheet available for free at Guillotine leagues dot com.

319
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: It's also the freshest, funnest way to play fantasy football,

320
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: perfect for like a second league, third league because the

321
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: format is so unique. You start with eighteen teams because

322
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: there's eighteen weeks in the season and there's no head

323
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: to head. Instead, every week the low scoring team gets

324
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: chopped and all their players go to the waiver wire,

325
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: where pandemonium breaks out. Oh you didn't say in sues

326
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: you want with breaks out? The sus is white? Better

327
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: see better? I change the cadence. What's wrong with me?

328
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: I gotta keep it fresh. I guess uh. Tons of strategy,

329
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: tons of different ways of thinking about how to craft

330
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: your team and then how to spend your money through

331
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: the season. You're playing to not finish last in every week,

332
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: which is a very different strategy than planning to finish first.

333
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: If you ain't last year first, That is our motto

334
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: here at guilloteae leagues dot com. Scott Fish, Brian Johnson,

335
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: Scott Let's go to the one thing we didn't need

336
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: to know about the Giants preseason. Yeah, basically all of

337
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: their wide receivers have been injured most of the preseason.

338
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: Darius Tony is still dealing with the two injuries. Um

339
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepard just came back based coming back from Achilles.

340
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: I'm going to go into my Week one matchups here

341
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: and say one, Dale Robinson is probably your starting slot

342
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver week one against the Titans, team who was

343
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: dead last against slot right receivers last year. So that

344
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: your take on flat keep that in your in your

345
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: noodle there or whatever. A right Titans. Oh, by the way,

346
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: their new head coach of the Bills, by Table, he

347
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: fed the slot just more than most teams to last year.

348
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: That's your gone. It is decided, alright, You're you're already

349
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: setting up that next week's show. Brian, What is the

350
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: one thing people need to know about the Titans preseason? Um,

351
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: it looks like almost every team in the NFL outside

352
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: of Tennessee made a mistake passing on Malik Willis. I

353
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: know it's preseason, but it certainly looks like his game

354
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: is going to translate to the NFL. He's not gonna

355
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: usur Ryan Tannehill just yet. But my question I'll post

356
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: you guys real quick is Malik Willis. Of course, in

357
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: dynasty league's people are drafting him statue, but in any

358
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: kind of redraft super flex format, I'm not seeing him

359
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: get are you. I'm in a keeper league only keep

360
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 1: two took him in the last round. It's a two

361
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,239
Speaker 1: quarterback league, and the redraft I have not seen him

362
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: get picked either. But he's looking like he's going to

363
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: be something special. We might have to wait a little bit,

364
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: of course, but uh that's the only the only real

365
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,239
Speaker 1: news at a Tennessee for the Steelers. Best story from

366
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: the Steelers preseason was the eye popping catches made by

367
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: rookie George Pickens, who looks very good. Sad Trombones, You're

368
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: expected starter, hold on where I'm off my game right now?

369
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: I don't know he's the starter. I feel like that

370
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: should have been a happy shot. But well, yeah, for him,

371
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: maybe not fantasy owners. Canny Pickett look good enough that

372
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: the leash here probably pretty short. Mr Whisky, you know

373
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: Week Willis would look pretty good in the Steelers. Kenny

374
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: Picketts look pretty good in his Steelers uniform. I'll take

375
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: Week Willis all Day. Let's go to the Falcons. Uh

376
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: really not a lot here. I mean Anthony Ferler got cut,

377
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: Quadrea Alston got cut. I don't know. I guess for

378
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: the for the full preseason. Basically, it's that Drake London

379
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: and Kyle Pitts look like they're going to be most

380
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: of that offense, and they've both just made great plays

381
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: in both camp and in preseason games. Let's go to

382
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Brian uh te Higgins currently questionable for Week one.

383
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: He had offseason shoulder injury, but I think it's you know,

384
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: they's been watching his workload throughout the preseason. You should

385
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: be good to go, but just keep an eye on

386
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: Mr TI Mr T. For the forty nine Ers, Jimmy

387
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: Garoppolo resigned to a backup deal. More on Garoppolo later

388
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: in the show, Andrey Lance Trey Sermon got cut. Went

389
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: to the Eagles. The running back packing order looks like

390
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell into Jeff Wilson, probably into Tyrean Davis Price TDP.

391
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be the case there, So

392
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: uh Mitchell going pretty late and Jeff Wilson going really

393
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: late in drafts. For those that may be inclined to

394
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: want to get on board with them. Let's go to

395
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: the Cardinals next, Scott. You know ben you know, Benjamin,

396
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: as we mentioned last week, did end up securing that

397
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: RB two role that Chase Edmund's role from last year,

398
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 1: so it might be fantasy viable. Also, they do expect

399
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: zach Ertz and Rondale Moore, who have been dealing with injuries,

400
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: back for Week one, but you might want to prepare

401
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: other options anyway. Okay, that has That's been a shocking

402
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: move for you know, Benjamin, and for his sake, I

403
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,479
Speaker 1: hope it holds that way. Jaguars, Brian, what's the one

404
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: thing we need to know about their preseason? Well, Scott

405
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: mentioned this when he was talking about the Panthers um.

406
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: The Jags traded away La Chenult to uh Channel to Carolina,

407
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: which probably does not bode well for terrorists marshall over Carolina.

408
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: But Jaguars, I don't know. They're still kind of like

409
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: James Robinson watch going on. But I think the biggest

410
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: story for me is Travis Aten looks fully healthy. He

411
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: does he running hard. I thought, you know what we

412
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: saw of him, he looks like that injury that Liz

413
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: Frank is totally in the Revere mirror. The fantasy has

414
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: been almost an auto for me in the late third.

415
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: Sure wants him to be the RB one or get

416
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: the lion's share of the touches, so we'll just have

417
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: to see what happens. But they cut the Commanders in

418
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 1: week one. I'm loving basically every Jaguar the week one

419
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: for the Ravens. Rookie tight end Isaiah likely splashed obvious

420
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: talent and is expected to find his way into the

421
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: field at some point this year if they effectively use

422
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: him as a wide receiver. There's no competition really for

423
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: him that stands in the way of him getting reps,

424
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: and it's just a matter of when you think he's

425
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: better than Devin Dover. I do, but it's likely. I

426
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: think it is likely, and I don't think he's as

427
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: deep of a stash as something I've been. I've been

428
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: taking him in lenks just for that. J K. Dobbins

429
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 1: insists his leg is fine. Uh and by the way,

430
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: love him battling against what he believes are erroneous media

431
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: reports on Twitter, which is great. Um. His status for

432
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: Week one at this point unclear. Will know more about

433
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: j K. Dobbins next week. UH. Journeyman Mike Davis Kenyan

434
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,959
Speaker 1: Drake likely to see action in the opener as well. Scott,

435
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: your final UH preseason report comes from Chicago. Yeah, the

436
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: Bears offensive line has really been the story of this

437
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: team this this preseason. Every game they have looked absolutely

438
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: terrible with Justin Fields getting hit constantly. The Bears went

439
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: out and claimed Alex Leatherwood, who we mentioned earlier, former

440
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: first round pick just last year, UH, to to to

441
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: try to help that offensive line. And they're trying out uh,

442
00:23:55,320 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: former pro bowler Collegio Summily. So Yeah, it's like gotta

443
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: be early thirties by now four or something like that.

444
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: But former ROA bowler. I believe he blew out a

445
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: knee or maybe both knees back about three years ago. Maybe. Um.

446
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: So at least they're trying. They realize their issue and

447
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: they're trying to fix it somehow. Yeah, it's uh, it's

448
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: gonna be a long road there. Johnson Fields played well

449
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: in that final preseason game, and that's a glimmer of

450
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: hope for them. That's connected on a touchdown to Cole comment.

451
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: Let's hope that continued. Chargers Brian our last team is

452
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: our last preseason. Report mentioned earlier that Sony Walkman Michelle

453
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: was cut by the Dolphins. Well, he signed with the Chargers,

454
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: which probably doesn't bode too well for Joshua Kelly and

455
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: especially Isaiah Spiller. Sony Walkman is no threat to anybody.

456
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, no, God, No, I'm just worried about

457
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: Isaiah Spiller. I thought he'd be a lock to be

458
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: the backup running back. That's a legitimate observation is that

459
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: he couldn't go win the number two, or at least

460
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: he seemed like the obvious handcuff, not even handcuff, just

461
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: an RB two with you know, he was going to

462
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: contribute weekend, week out, and that's not looking like the

463
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: case right now. I've had increasing confidence in Austin Ekeler

464
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: getting maintaining the sizeable workload he had last year as

465
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: this preseason has gone on, because it doesn't feel like

466
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: anybody's really stepped up to take reps away from him.

467
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: Michelle he is not very good, but oh he's great

468
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: in past protection. So that's gonna put him on the field,

469
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: which I just I just hate not talking about. But

470
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: for for Isaiah Spiller's I'm just worried about Isaiah Spiller.

471
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: I'm on this guy. I'm like, I'm bad, all right. Next,

472
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: we in our first preseason show. Now, four full shows ago,

473
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: we're in our fifth preseason show. Now we identified the

474
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: training camp battles we were going to watch. Now, it's

475
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: only fair that with training camps over, we go back,

476
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: circle back. Tell you who won these battles. Brian, let's

477
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: begin with you. What was the first training camp battle

478
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: resolution you've got um, Well, these were mats, but they

479
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: were he did get them right. I'll give him credit

480
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: for that. And in terms of they were battles, but

481
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: it was Atlanta's starting running back between Corderold Patterson, Tyler

482
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: is it. I'm going to the It's not al geyer L.

483
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: It's like the Lgars because from Casino. By the way,

484
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: have you seen Casino yet? You admitted him? You got

485
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: to watch Casino tonight. But anyway, that's a full night.

486
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: That's not that's not a short movie. That was like

487
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: a VHS double. It was double VHS tapes. If you've

488
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: got sealed or VHS tapes that those are selling for

489
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: hundreds of dollars. I've got a born born on the

490
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: fourth of keeping in the raft, Keep it in the

491
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: who did guest? And I don't know who the nut

492
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: jobs are that one vhs, it'll be d d ds.

493
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: It'll be DVDs soon too, So if you got the

494
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: DVD sealed, hold onto him. Laser discs probably coming first.

495
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: But anyway, Patterson's the start. The great by Buddy had one.

496
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: It was it was the place to be every weekend.

497
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: He basic instinct. He was easy to get to the movie. Anyway,

498
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: Football Patterson is still technically the start of it. Tyler

499
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: Alger looks very good, so he's gonna take some significant

500
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: He will as well. But I just want to talk

501
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: about Kyle Pitts and talk about the Falcons. But anyway,

502
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: enough about that, Scott, your training camp battle resolution. Yeah,

503
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: so the first one I went over last last time

504
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: we went over this was Melvin Gordon versus Javonte Williams

505
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: on the Broncos. I don't know that we got much

506
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: clarity at all. Week think the clarity is it's still split. Yeah,

507
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: at the time we were talking about one reports one

508
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: is seventy. We did get some clarity that Gordon said,

509
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: in fact that the Broncos want Javonte to be the guy,

510
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: so I feel like he's going to get more opportunity.

511
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: The split is gonna go his way. Is it worth

512
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: the ADP difference? I don't know. We may talk about

513
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: find out later in this show. I was trying to

514
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: tease it. All right, Bryan, your next training camp battle resolution,

515
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna skip over the starting Carolina quarterback because we

516
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: all know what happened there, um and go to you.

517
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: Green Bay's wide receiver one. It was between Alan Lazard,

518
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, rookie Christian Watson rookie uh Dubbs. Recently, Matt

519
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: Lafour head coach Matt Lafour said this about his wide

520
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: receivers quote, I don't think anybody's clear cut in front

521
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: of the other guy. I think it's gonna be very much.

522
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: The ball's gonna get spread around, and we're gonna try

523
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: to feature different guys in different spots. Gross, So there's

524
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: no resolution. Fantasy owners don't ever want to hear that

525
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: that they're gonna go hot hand on any position, including

526
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver. But if you're near the stripe, you're throwing

527
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: to the six ft five Alans. That's the thing I

528
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: feel most confident about is the touchdowns coming for Alan

529
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: Lazart scored eight touchdowns, with Davante Adams hogging most you know,

530
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: mostly attention, and Romeo Dubbs of course, of course, has

531
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: been the splashy name in camp. But I'm most intrigued

532
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: by Watson, who was the wide receiver they drafted and

533
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: he missed a lot of training camp with injury. His

534
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: ADP has fallen off, so he's the guy. I've kind

535
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: of been buying the dip on Scott your next training

536
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: camp resolution over to New England Patriots, where I feel

537
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: like we're in a similar spot as the Denver Broncos,

538
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: where we're talking about Romandre Stephenson and Damien Harris. Since

539
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: the beginning of camp, Romondre Stephenson has been working on

540
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: pass catching pass blocking. It's been a lot of talk.

541
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: James White retired, they got rid of j J. Taylor. Um,

542
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: it really feels and time my comery is now injured,

543
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: so it feels like that role, that pass catching role

544
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: is gonna be Stevenson. And Beat reports that as frequently

545
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: as the end of this week are stating that Stevenson

546
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: could leap frog Harris, and I'm buying it. I believe it.

547
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: I hope you're right. Although done nothing, has done nothing wrong.

548
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: He's he has good back, scored fifteen touchdowns last year,

549
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: and we're like on this show in the preseason last year.

550
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that we called exactly fifteen

551
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: too exact, Scott, Sorry, Brian, No, we are Scott, Brian, Brian,

552
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: your next trading camp resolution, uh Giants wide receiver one

553
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: was gonna be Kenny Golladay, Tony, maybe Stirling Shepherd. It's

554
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: certainly not gonna be Kenny Golladay, who was awful. That

555
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: was like Dave Gettleman's one last just the parting, the

556
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: parting contract to destroy his team right, absolute worst GM

557
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: of all time, and that includes the aforementioned Jerry Jones.

558
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: So it looks like it's gonna be Darius Tony as

559
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: New York's top wide receiver. But he's already on the

560
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: injury report for Week one with a leg injury. But

561
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: I feel like that's more of a probable than questionable.

562
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: But as Scott said, Wan Dale Robinson, very intriguing name

563
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: out there that you should probably scooping up in the

564
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: later rounds of your draft. Scott, talk to me about

565
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: your next training camp. Yeah, this this one is pretty easy.

566
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: Is the Pittsburgh Steelers QB position. We went in a

567
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: little curious what's gonna happen between Robinsky in their first

568
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: round pick Kenny get seems like Trabisky won the battle,

569
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: but honestly, pick It started out rough, but the he

570
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: ended the preseason looking good, making fine plays, making some drives.

571
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: I I would be shocked if pick It does not

572
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: get some run late in the season, Brian, your next

573
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: training camp battle resolution Philly RB one, Miles Sanders, Kenneth

574
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: Gainwell of Boston Scott. It looked like Miles Sanders was

575
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: clinging to that role, but he's unlikely, unlikey to play

576
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: in the opener against I think he's gonna is he

577
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: gonna go with the hamstring injury. That's how it's shaping up.

578
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: He was starting to practice. He is the starter, but

579
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,239
Speaker 1: by no means is he a bell cow at all.

580
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: This seems like it's gonna be almost like a three

581
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: man rotation Boston Scott for those that by the way,

582
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: Boston Scott is a character I need on the show.

583
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: You need to work on your bas you and Matt

584
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: and everybody. No, Tessa, I can help you out with

585
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: this would be so good, A better than Colin mccockney.

586
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: I next to mccockney. I never want to see that

587
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: guy again. But anyway, UM, I still like gainwell out

588
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: of these three guys in my own depth chart, but

589
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: I just say avoid I watch Jalen Hurts yea and

590
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: the rushing touchdowns and rushing yards I want. I mean

591
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: Scott training camp battle resolutions. Uh. The next one we

592
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: went over and my side anyway was the Chief's wide

593
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: receiver one and wide receiver two roles. And honestly, I

594
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: feel like, at least from what I've read what I've

595
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: seen that it's pretty much all indications are Juju is

596
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: taking that wide receiver one and it's gonna be a

597
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: mess behind him, a mess of you don't know what

598
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: to do with fantasy. You don't. It's gonna be best

599
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: ball type ceiling weeks at best, so do just Schuster

600
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: is actually an interesting one for me because I feel

601
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: like he could be a hundred plus target guy, Brian,

602
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: let's go to your next training camp resolution. I'm going

603
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: to do a two for here, two for one because

604
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: they're both regarding the Seahawks. Gino Smith beat out Drew Lock.

605
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: It's more like Drew Lock beat out himself and and

606
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: then for the starting running back job was a shot

607
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: Penny and Kenneth Walker. But Walker has missed most of

608
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: the preseason with this herning issue, might not go in

609
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: week one, so it looks like it's shot. Penny is

610
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: a starting running back. We'll see how long he lasts.

611
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: We we've mentioned him before. Travis Homer. Interesting, Travis Homer

612
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: looked better than I'm telling you. He looked eye test.

613
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: He looked better than any of the other Seattle running backs.

614
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: It may not amount to anything, but he had some

615
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: eye popping moments in the preseason, like in the past

616
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: game and with Walker out, and he'll get some worth

617
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: worth the spot in deeper, deeper weeks. Scott, let's do

618
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: one last training camp battle right here. Okay, let's go

619
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,719
Speaker 1: over to the Bills the ruin back position. We were

620
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: talking Singlitary Cooking. We kind of talked Moss. It sounds

621
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: like Moss had the best offseason ever, putting a ton

622
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: of work after mentally dealing with those healthy scratches last year. Uh,

623
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: and he's been talked up by everyone in Buffalo media,

624
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: so he's gonna he basically more than he basically just

625
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: muddied that backfield more than we like. Yeah, I think

626
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: you're probably right, Brian. Your last training camp battle, the

627
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: last one was for Ampa Bay's wide receiver three between

628
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: Julio Jones and Russell Gauge. I wouldn't see say either

629
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: has won this job because they're very different players, and

630
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: it looks like Julio is going to they play very

631
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: different roles out of the wide receiver spot. Julio looks

632
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: like more of a tight end really kind of the

633
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: role he'll play, and the tight end they do. They

634
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 1: got multiple openings almost and Tampa runs three wide receiver

635
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: sets a lot, so I think they're both going to

636
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: see the field plenty. So let's just call that one

637
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: a draw. They're they're both lead. Both certainly rosterable. There

638
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: you have at the training camp at battle resolutions that

639
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 1: you care about when we come back. Three tough questions

640
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: for our panel of experts, including what to do with

641
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. Now we'll talk about that when we come back.

642
00:34:44,920 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: It's Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back to the show. It's

643
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Jarchi and Scott Fish and Brian

644
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: Johnson with you. This is a game we call three

645
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: tough questions. Tough question number one. With the forty nine

646
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: years decision to keep Jimmy Garoppolo, what is the appropriate

647
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: level of concern for those drafting tray Lance? Is it none?

648
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: Some or a bowl loosening level of existential dread? Scott? None,

649
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: not even a little this. I don't even know that

650
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 1: this question deserves the response. I'm actually disappointed that you

651
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: put this as a question. I think we're wasting people's

652
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: time here. They simply brought him in or bought time

653
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: to trade him. They made the contract tradeable if Jimmy

654
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 1: approves it, because he got the no trade cross clause.

655
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 1: They but they brought the financial burden down so that

656
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: they could trade him, and he's a good backup if

657
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: they can't. That's all it is. It's nothing for tray Lance, Okay, Brian.

658
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: With a forty niners decision to keep Jimmy Garoppolo, what

659
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: is the appropriate level of concern for those drafting tray Lance?

660
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: Scott and I usually agree for the most part in

661
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: three tough questions, but I disagree in this one. I

662
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: got I got some concern for Trey Lance because the

663
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 1: Niners were one game away from the Super Bowl. Last year,

664
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: they were almost they were in the NFC Championship Game

665
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,760
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Garoppolo's quarterback there like, and if that safety

666
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: just would have caught the ball, they would have gone

667
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: in a lot of what if. So, I mean, if

668
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: the Niners start one in three, one in four, it's

669
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: probably Trey Lances fault. I'm not saying it's gonna happen.

670
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 1: So but if if they get off to a slow start,

671
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: they can't afford to let this window slam shut on them,

672
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: and then they could make a switch at quarterback and

673
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: just say Lance needs some more time. I don't think

674
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen, but so some I would say little

675
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: if I could, But I gotta go with So there's

676
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: got not three options. I was pretty good. It's not none.

677
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: It's something from me. No, it's none. Like if Lance

678
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: is so bad the team pivots to Garoppolo, he wasn't

679
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: gonna help you anyway. If Lances gets mentally shaken by

680
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: Garoppolo's presence, he wasn't gonna help you anyway. Um, And

681
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: he's just the backup for a team that clearly doesn't

682
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: want him to start anymore. There's a long runway for

683
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. They've invested a ton in him. Um the

684
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: I can't trust it until I see it, crowd, and

685
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: I know there's a bunch of you listening that are

686
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: that way. They will never win fantasy football championships because

687
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: they are always replaying last year. You're not that way.

688
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 1: You are going to look ahead to one and Trey

689
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: Lance had league winning upside, was a runner, deep ball passer,

690
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: and he's surrounded by great game breaking talent. Tough question

691
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,280
Speaker 1: number two, You've slept the tight end position for twelve rounds.

692
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: Who is the best dart throw tight end you should

693
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 1: take at that point, Brian, forgive me, Dan Arnold not

694
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: you are not the answer. I'm sorry to say. I

695
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: still believe in you, and I love you with all

696
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: my heart, but I'm going with the aforementioned Isaiah Likely,

697
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: who you basically summed it up charge. He's probably the

698
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: second best wide receiver. He is, I mean Andrews is equally.

699
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's gonna be Andrews and Likely as the

700
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: other wide receiver options who are tight and eligible, I

701
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: mean likely, you're getting like a Kyle Pitts Jr. Type guys.

702
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he looks like he has coming from Brian.

703
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: That's I mean, he's a guy who's just gonna He's

704
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: not gonna be an inline blocker. Looks like he's got

705
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: the skill set to play wide receiver. Like you said,

706
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: it's Devin DuVernay and James pro Schet. I'm not sold

707
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: on either of those guys, so I'm going likely here

708
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: Scott who is the tight end that we should dart

709
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: throw after twelve rounds have already passed, So so my

710
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 1: options are basically IRV Smith, Albert Oh, David Joeku, Tony

711
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: in Fans, Higbie, Everett Hurst, Ingram, Likely, etcetera type of guys.

712
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with David and U uh. He was

713
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: only ran routes on fort nine percent of his plays

714
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 1: last year and he's still average about eight fancy points

715
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: per game when when he was going full. But he

716
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: looks like he's on track for about eight uh snap

717
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: per route participation, route participating participation. Thank you, uh my

718
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: favorite stats on njoku. I saw I saw this. CBS

719
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: guy tweeted this. His his um average stepth of target

720
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: has gone up three streets seasons. His yards after the catch.

721
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: Three stage seasons, he's everything's improving for him, and they

722
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: just give him a huge contract. They got rid of

723
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper and his sixty one targets from last year.

724
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: And we talked about on the show a couple of times,

725
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: how if you combine the three Browns tight ends, you

726
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: would have a really good tight end. I think Najoku's

727
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: path is pretty good for a guy you're getting in

728
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: und The correct answer for the tight end to take

729
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: if you've slept that position for twelve rounds is David

730
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 1: and Joco, you hit most of my bullet points already.

731
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski uses his tight ends a lot. Fourth highest

732
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: tight end target rate last year came out of Kevin

733
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,720
Speaker 1: Stefanski and the Cleveland Browns. And here's the kick scored

734
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns his tight ends. Stefanski is targeted the tight end

735
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: position more than any other position on plays that start

736
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: from inside the five yard line. So some easy touchdowns coming,

737
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: which you've already you just mentioned Scott for David and Joke,

738
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,919
Speaker 1: can I give you one more stet. Jacoby Brissett's last

739
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: full season he played, he targeted tight ends a hundred

740
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: and thirty five times in fifteen games. That means he

741
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: was targeting tight tight ends nine times per game. You

742
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: don't say, I don't say tough. Question number three, Well,

743
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray straighten out the hit or miss production we

744
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: saw from Marquis Brown during Brown's tenure in Baltimore. Scott

745
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 1: probably not those really high A dot Boomer bust guys

746
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: generally don't even out production. I I tend to think

747
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: he you saw it with DeAndre Hopkins last year. He

748
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,919
Speaker 1: had a couple two for twenty one to for fifty days.

749
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: I can see that also for in his you know,

750
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: first six or seven games. I can see that also

751
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: for Marquis Brown, and when DeAndre Hopkins get back, it's

752
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,479
Speaker 1: only going to spread around more. I think you're looking

753
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 1: at another boomer bus season here. All right, Brian did well.

754
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray straighten out the hit or missproduction we saw

755
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: from Marquis Brown last year. For those who didn't know this,

756
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: despite the fact they played together at Oklahoma, I'm still

757
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: gonna say, no, um, who would which team do you

758
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: think through the ball more than last year? The Ravens

759
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 1: or the Cardinals? Cardinals wrong? It was Ravens who were

760
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 1: ninth in past attempts with six and ten. The Cardinals

761
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: were sixte I would have never got I assume the

762
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 1: same thing, but I had to look it up and

763
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, and then I went a little

764
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: further and Marquis Brown finished twenty nine among games we

765
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 1: probably sn I'm sorry, among wide receivers and half PPR

766
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: points per game last year with a target share north

767
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: of that's a lot. Now he's going to a team

768
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: that's gonna throw the ball less, and I think it's

769
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: a lateral move at quarterback between Lamar Jackson and Ler Murray.

770
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 1: And I think there's despite DeAndre Hopkins being suspended, I

771
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: think there's more competition for targets. So I'm gonna say no,

772
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: the correct answer is yes, Tyler Murray will help the

773
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: hit or missproduction we've seen from Marcus Brown. First, just

774
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: Hopkins alone free frees up seven targets a game. Now,

775
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: granted it's not for the whole season, but that will

776
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: give us a good running start um. And they also

777
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: obviously lost Christian Kirk in the office. Randell Morris hurt

778
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: right now, rand hurt for the moment anyway, And it's

779
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: just a water bug anyway. I just I'm not. He's

780
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 1: never gonna be a guy that's gonna soak up targets

781
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: A J. Green, no threat, Antoine Wesley sneaky threat. But

782
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: that's all week. George quiet Than never said. Last year

783
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: under Kyler Murray, at least one of his wide receivers

784
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: scored or crossed one hundred yards in nine of the

785
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: first ten games. Oh no, he got Wesley got placed

786
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: on injured reserve. That it was, Oh yeah, I got

787
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: Iared he was, Yeah, he was. He was battling in

788
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: in the preseason. That's too bad. He was one of

789
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: my like my deepest darts. I knew it was something

790
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: with him. Thank you for looking that up. Kyler Murray

791
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 1: was able to get good production out of one of

792
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: his at least one of his wide receivers up until

793
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: everything sort of tank for him after Thanksgiving. The hope

794
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 1: is that he can he he and by the way,

795
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,720
Speaker 1: if he and Cliff Kingsbury don't do better in December,

796
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: they're gone. They got to straighten that out because if

797
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: they are, they are one more bad December away from

798
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: losing their job. All Kyler Murkin's got the big contract.

799
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: I will consider your point for the first six weeks

800
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,439
Speaker 1: that he'll be more consistent after that when Hopkins is back.

801
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: I don't think, you know what, I don't think. I

802
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 1: don't think Hopkins got that much left in the tank.

803
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: Conversion of him we saw last year was certainly not

804
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: the dominating version that we had seen in his Houston days.

805
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm optimistic on markis Brown. I've been

806
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: a skeptic up until this point of the career. I

807
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: want to think it's gonna come together here with great opportunity.

808
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: But your points to the point that Brian made, he

809
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: has had great opportunity in the past. If you would

Speaker 1: Paul Charchi and Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you.

819
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 1: This segment devoted to teammates, which teammate is the better

820
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: one to draft based on their ADP. Now, in most

821
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: cases we know exactly who the better teammate is do

822
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 1: who's going to score more Fantasy points? But when you

823
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: apply to the draft capital you have to give up

824
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 1: to get that guy, the whole equation changes. We'd all

825
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: rather have. Wow, let's go. We can go right to

826
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: the first. Let's do it. The Buffalo backfield. Devin Singletary

827
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: going in round seven, James Cook going in round ten,

828
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,919
Speaker 1: or Zack Moss going in round twenty four. Scott, let's

829
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,879
Speaker 1: begin with you. Yeah, So, as an early early guy

830
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: on Singletary and a guy who really likes the highlights

831
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: of James Cook, I'm still going with Zack mosson round

832
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: twenty four, just because I don't really want a part

833
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: of this backfield right now, and if I have to

834
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: take one, it's going to be the round twenty four

835
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: guy who's been talked up all preseason. That makes sense, Brian,

836
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: what do you think? Devin Singletary in the seventh, James

837
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: Cook in the tenth, there's Zack Moss in round twenty four. Yeah,

838
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: Scott and I are in pretty much full this offense

839
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: is going to go through Josh Allen, whether it's his

840
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 1: arm or his legs. So I'm just taking the cheapest

841
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: guy here, and uh, it's Zack mosson he's broken our

842
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: hearts in the past. Give him one more chance at

843
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 1: this price. Meant by Singletary and Cook. Thing is I

844
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: like those players and even I don't want so it's

845
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 1: a fair point. Um, I totally agree with all the

846
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 1: points you made. I'd take Zack moss out of that group,

847
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,479
Speaker 1: mostly just because I don't want to invest in the others.

848
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to New England. Which teammate would you rather draft?

849
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 1: You have to draft one and only one, Romandre Stevenson

850
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: now going round seven or Damien Harris going round ten,

851
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: and that much, I'm gonna pay up for Romandre Stevenson

852
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: in the seventh round over Harris. Um. I think he's

853
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: a special player, will be a special player. Going back

854
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: to his college days at Oklahoma, he was on his

855
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,240
Speaker 1: way to being one of the top backs in college football,

856
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: got suspended for marijuana lame and then in he had

857
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 1: to split time with Trey Sermon, who was also very lame.

858
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: But even in splitting that time, Stevenson force an average

859
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: point three six missed tackles per carry in according to

860
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, that was the fifth best mark in

861
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: college football. He had hundred nineteen touches and college lost.

862
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: You areadag on just four of them. He's a He's

863
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: the beast, and I think he's gonna He's already taken

864
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:16,919
Speaker 1: over the starting job, and I think he's We don't

865
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 1: know that all we think that. I know Harris had

866
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 1: his fifteen touchdowns last year, but I think Stevenson is

867
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: the more skilled player and I would take him in

868
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 1: the seventh round over Harris in the tenth. Alright, Scott,

869
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: which New England running back? Would you take Remander Stevenson

870
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: in the seventh or Damien Harris in the tenth. It

871
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: feels like I've talked about Romandre Stevenson every single week

872
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 1: on this is very clear for me. In fact, round seven,

873
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: I've been taking him round six. I feel like I

874
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: took him five twelve ones, like I'm I'm taking him

875
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: that early just because he's got RB one like top

876
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: twelve running back in him. If he does leave Pro

877
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 1: Damian Harris, I'll take that all day. Damien Harris if

878
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: he's going If he's dipped to the tenth. I'm buying

879
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: that dip. Yeah, after the way, that's not how the

880
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 1: game is, but I'm buying that dip if that's if

881
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: that's where he's going. Now that's crazy. Let's go to

882
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: the Jets, would you? Well, who are you taking? I'm

883
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: on Stevenson as work, But this is mostly a game

884
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: for you guys. I'm just I'm playing. I'm just playing

885
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: the the role of of like game show host. Here

886
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: Breese Hall in round four or Michael Carter. Again, these

887
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: are teammates. You have to pick one. Jets running back

888
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: to Breecee Hall in round four Michael Carter round eleven.

889
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: I believe we're in Scott to go first for this one.

890
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 1: Sure it's still Briest Hall, but man, that is quite

891
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: a gap. And Michael Carter is the presumed starter at

892
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: this point. I just really I know he hasn't, you know,

893
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: flashed enough to step up, but he's had flashes, and

894
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: I really feel like this is one of those Jonathan

895
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: Taylor or Adrian Peter Peterson situations where Chester Taylor had

896
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,439
Speaker 1: the starting role but it took three or four weeks,

897
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: or Marlon Mack had the starting role over John and

898
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: took three or four weeks before they got going. But

899
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: I feel the second half of this season is gonna

900
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: be Bruce Hall. And I think Bruce Hall is going

901
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: to be borderline, you know, definitely a top twenty four

902
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: guy in that range. So I will take the round

903
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 1: four Briest Hall. It's it's looking not too good right now,

904
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: all right, Brian Breese Hall, Round four, Michael Carter, round eleven.

905
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: I would shoot the moon for Bruese Hall, but I'm

906
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 1: worried about that offensive line in New York, especially after

907
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 1: they lost lest left tackle and guy backed in. So

908
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the cheaper Carter, who is the starter

909
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,399
Speaker 1: for now and could maintain that role throughout the season.

910
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 1: According to Profo both Focus, Carter forced more miss tackles

911
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: per touch than Javonte Williams last year, so he can play.

912
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: And uh, if there's a seven round delta between the two,

913
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the cheaper guy here. Yeah, I'm with you,

914
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: cheaper guy. Let's go to Cincinnati. Jamaar Chase will cost

915
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: you a first rounder teammate Tehiggens a third rounder or

916
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd a long time Brian Johnson favorite round eleven.

917
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: But this is a sticky one, Brian, which one would

918
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: you choose at his average draft position? Yeah, that was

919
00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: a big boyd guy. Well before Tee Higgins Smart ticket

920
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: store around, they kind of they kind of spoiled the

921
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: ruin the party there. Uh so he's out of the

922
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: equation for me. Boy that is, I'm gonna go with

923
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: Higgins in around three who outscored Jamar Chase in PPR

924
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: last year from weeks fifteen or weeks five through sixteen,

925
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 1: And Jamaar Chase had that monster week seventeen that won

926
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: everyone in their league if they had him on Rosster,

927
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: especially if he was paired with Joe Burrow. But if

928
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: you replaced that monster Week seventeen just with his per

929
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: game average, which is like fifteen PPR points per game,

930
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: Chase finishes just barely inside the top ten among wide receivers.

931
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,240
Speaker 1: So his number is a little skewed by that monster

932
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: week uh seventeen games. So I'm gonna take Higgins here. Yeah,

933
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 1: it's not just that monster week. I think something like

934
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 1: thirty three or thirty five percent of his uh Fantasy

935
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 1: points came off of eight plays. Wow, that's amazing. Yeah,

936
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: it's it was a lot of but he gets those

937
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 1: like that's part of his games. You can't really detract it.

938
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: It's just an interesting thing. Uh. For me, I'm taking

939
00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: Tee Higgins at the two round discount, uh, because a

940
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: lot of people do forget like he was better than

941
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase seven out of the seventeen weeks from week

942
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 1: eight to fourteen, he was the better receiver as Chase dipped,

943
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: and Chase did have a couple of monster games that

944
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:16,839
Speaker 1: really really buoyed his fantasy production. Like, uh, but it's

945
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: a two rounds like you can get someone really good

946
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: in the in the first and get comparable production two

947
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 1: rounds later, and people forget Higgins had the monsters. Higgins

948
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and post yards and Chase was opened on

949
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: the last play. If Burrow had another second, Higgins was

950
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: my wide receiver thirteen. I might move him to twelve.

951
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm he's in. He's right there for me, let's go

952
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh. Teammates. Would you pay? Who would you Who

953
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 1: would you draft? Deonta Johnson Round four, George Pickens Round nine,

954
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:49,320
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool round ten, Scott h It's George Pickens for me,

955
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: I feel like I have him on every roster and

956
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 1: I can't get enough of him. I need him on

957
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: every roster. Uh, it's it's the five round discount. I'm

958
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 1: not even sure Deonta Johnson is going to be the

959
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: complete target hog that he was with and who I

960
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: think in part I believe Ben's noodle arm forced him

961
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: to throw it so short to Deonta Johnson all the time.

962
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he gets the same volume he gets. Uh.

963
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: And and plus there's just a lot of other players

964
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 1: I want in round four. In round nine, I'm getting

965
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: a George Pickens that I feel like, could you know

966
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 1: be a top thirty six receiver starting wide receiver on

967
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 1: your fantasy team? All right, Brian, which Pittsburgh wide receiver

968
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,720
Speaker 1: would you rather have Deonte Johnson round four, George Pickens

969
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 1: round nine, or Chase Claypool round ten? I love Pickens

970
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: like like Fish does. But I'm still I'm still gonna

971
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: go Deonta Johnson in round four. I know things have changed.

972
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: He might not be the target hog that he was

973
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 1: with Roethlisberger. By the way, last year, only Cooper Cup

974
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 1: saw more targets than Deonta Johnson and Deonta Johnson only also,

975
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: only twenty seven percent of his games resulted in the

976
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: finish outside of the top thirty at wide receiver. I

977
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: got this great info from your your cheat sheets. By

978
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 1: the way, eatings dot Com. The only other wide receivers

979
00:52:56,239 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 1: who did that finished outside of the top third in

980
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: under three percent of their games, or Justin Jefferson, Cooper

981
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: Cup and Deebo Samuel So Johnson, he just feels much

982
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,240
Speaker 1: safer than me. Pickens scold had that Randy Moss splash,

983
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: But I don't know if it's gonna come in your one.

984
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Dallas. Would you rather have

985
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: Zeke in round three or Tony Pollard in round six?

986
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: As we continue through our battling teammates Brian offensive line

987
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: issues in Dallas, So of course you gotta we worry

988
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 1: about Zeke a little bit. But I'm still gonna take

989
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 1: Zeke in round three. I think that's still a good

990
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: discount for a guy who was well on his way

991
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: to being a top five running back last year before

992
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: his season was kind of derailed in Week six with

993
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: injuries that he played through the remainder of the season.

994
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 1: He'sdaveraging over five yards per carry with it with a

995
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 1: banged up offensive line then, so I'm still gonna go Zeke.

996
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: I love Pollard though, Yeah, it's Zeke. He's still putting

997
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: up top ten running back numbers time and time again,

998
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: and people just don't like him anymore. Even though he

999
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: played injured last year, that's in his production didn't even

1000
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 1: go down that much while injured. He's fully healthy this

1001
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 1: year and it's his final year probably with the Cowboys

1002
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: going to run him eighteen total touches from inside the

1003
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: five last year for Zeke, Pollard had one. Yeah, I

1004
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: mean that's just you know, if we want at the

1005
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: end of the day, we want touchdowns, Zeke's that guy.

1006
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 1: Let's go to Chicago as we look at the teammates

1007
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: that we would prefer to draft over another. We go

1008
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: to David Montgomery round five, Khalil Herbert coming in at

1009
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 1: round eleven, Scott, which one would you take? Yeah, I'm

1010
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: I'm taking Herbert basically because I don't really love either

1011
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 1: of them. Herbert's got head buzz about being more involved

1012
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: in splitting more. It's uh, David Montgomery has not been

1013
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: an efficient running back. It's all been volume for him,

1014
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure he gets the same volume in

1015
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:39,879
Speaker 1: that offensive line is terrible. I really don't want either,

1016
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 1: but if I have to, I guess I'll spend the eleven.

1017
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: You'll take the discount. Do you feel any differently, Brian?

1018
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,919
Speaker 1: Can I take trust and Ebner in the last round?

1019
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,320
Speaker 1: Considering Justin Fields is going to lead the Bears and

1020
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 1: rushing I predict this year, So yeah, I'll take the

1021
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: cheaper guy all day. All right, let's go to Green Bay.

1022
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 1: This one is really pretty which running back? Are you

1023
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: going to take Aaron Jones in round two or a

1024
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 1: J Dillon in round five? Brian, this feels like it'll

1025
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: be as close as you can get to a fifty

1026
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 1: fifty split between two very talented guys. So I'm going

1027
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 1: to take the cheaper guy in a J. Dillon, And

1028
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: mainly because if you gotta take Jones in the second round.

1029
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara is sitting there and I'm all over Kamara

1030
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: and I'm taking him ten out of ten times over

1031
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones. So we're about I'm gonna take later. It

1032
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: is part of the argument that was my thoughts too,

1033
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: is there They're like Aaron Jones, I feel like he

1034
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 1: could lead that team in receptions, he could be RB one,

1035
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:34,919
Speaker 1: like I feel like that's in his range, but there's

1036
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 1: also a ton of really talented running backs in that

1037
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: same range that are going with him. I would rather

1038
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 1: take a j. Dillon, who I play in the league

1039
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 1: with later the fifth and take the disc outed he

1040
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: could be at RB one if Aaron Jones gets hurt.

1041
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Minnesota another I think another

1042
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: fairly tricky one. But we'll find out which teammate. Yeah

1043
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 1: we are in Minnesota, which teammate is the better one

1044
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: to draft Justin Jefferson round one, Adam Feeling. Round six.

1045
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 1: Probably should have added in kJ Osborne, but that's not

1046
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: Probably should have uh, Jefferson one feeling round six, Scott.

1047
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,280
Speaker 1: So this one I still haven't recovered from saying Justin

1048
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: Jefferson in round two versus Adam Feeling in round five

1049
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 1: last year at the Fair, and I got booed for it,

1050
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,360
Speaker 1: um because I said Jefferson and everybody else thought it

1051
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: was a little bit better, a little bitter. We love

1052
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,479
Speaker 1: the people to State Fair. Most of them are drunk.

1053
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 1: That is true. It is it is obviously ten in

1054
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:34,799
Speaker 1: the morning. Was still when we do why not all

1055
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 1: of them, Okay at the airport and time for me,

1056
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 1: it's Adam Feeling. It's Adam Feeling now at this one,

1057
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: because justin Jefferson, you are spending a top three pick,

1058
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling, You're getting in round six, sometimes round five,

1059
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: sometimes even round seven, and you're getting a guy who

1060
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 1: is I say very likely, I not even just likely,

1061
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: very likely to be a ten plus touchdown guy, which

1062
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 1: is crazy in that round. Yeah, I'm gonna see on that.

1063
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,240
Speaker 1: Brian feel any differently I do. I gotta go Jefferson.

1064
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:04,839
Speaker 1: Among the big three wide receivers, and that's Jefferson, Cup

1065
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,879
Speaker 1: and Jamar Chase. I feel like Feeling poses the least

1066
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 1: threat to his counterpart. I'm more concerned with te Higgins

1067
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 1: obviously for Jamar Chase's sake, and in Allen Robinson with

1068
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. So if I'm gonna pay up for a

1069
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: one of the big wide receivers, it is justin Jefferson.

1070
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: Feelings kind of old. There's more risk built into Feeling

1071
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 1: for sure. With the injury history, there's no doubt about it.

1072
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 1: All Right, We've got time for one last one. Let's

1073
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 1: go to Tampa Bay. Mike Evans Round three, Chris Godwin

1074
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 1: Round five. Brian, I'm going Godwin, who has finished wide

1075
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 1: receiver to wide receiver fifteen wide receiver seven in points

1076
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: per games, over the points per game over the last

1077
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 1: three seasons, and he seems like he's gonna be ready

1078
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: for Week one. They released Tyler Johnson, so I think

1079
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: Godwin's gonna be a ghost. I think the cheaper guy. Honestly,

1080
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: there's are both very good values for both. I started

1081
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:54,479
Speaker 1: to lean Godwin, but I'm gonna go with Mike Evans,

1082
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 1: who's bent double digit touchdowns every single year. Top that's

1083
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: the touchdowns. I like touchdowns. Everybody who likes touchdowns, everybody

1084
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely. When we come back, I might be wrong

1085
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 1: about that. There's some stances that we take on this

1086
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: show that are pretty strong. We'll confess the things that

1087
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: are keeping us up at night about that. Maybe we're

1088
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 1: not right about It's a possibility. We'll find out what

1089
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: they are when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly.

1090
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly continues Paul Charchi and Guillotine Leagues dot Com.

1091
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: If you haven't tried a Guillotine league yet, it is

1092
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 1: super fun and a really different way to play fantasy football.

1093
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: Eighteen teams start the season, and that's because there's eighteen

1094
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 1: weeks in the season, no head to head. Instead, the

1095
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: low scoring team gets cut every week and their players

1096
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:11,479
Speaker 1: go to the waiver wire where pandemonium and sues. Scott Fish,

1097
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 1: there it is, and you get to bid on a

1098
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 1: whole draft of players that just hit the waiver wire.

1099
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 1: This is not like anything that's ever happened to you before.

1100
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 1: You build powerhouse teams throughout the season by not finishing last.

1101
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 1: Tons of fun, lots of ways to to play and win.

1102
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 1: Guillotine Leagues dot com. This is a segment devoted to

1103
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: the things that we might be wrong about. I was,

1104
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: I was not exactly right. Any good fantasy show has

1105
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:49,439
Speaker 1: got you gotta take strong take some things. You gotta

1106
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: strong opinions. You have to predict what's going to happen.

1107
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 1: But then you lay awake at night you think, what

1108
00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong? What are the things keeping you guys

1109
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 1: awake at night? Brian, what might you be wrong about?

1110
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 1: I think of Kyle Pitts all night long, all day,

1111
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 1: Just Kyle Pitts on my mind all the time. By

1112
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: the way, Scott, where is that jock strap that you're

1113
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 1: choir from one of your many years, from your collection,

1114
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: your personal collection. No, no, he's saying. He's saying because

1115
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: I I played a league with Tyler Algier, that Algier,

1116
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 1: I should connect with Algier to get one from. Yes,

1117
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 1: So I might be wrong about Kyle Pitts being a

1118
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 1: league winner. And I've been advocating to reach around for

1119
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts, grabbing him the second round. But even if

1120
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: drafting them the third round, you're drafting him to be

1121
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: a league winner as a tight end. And that would

1122
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 1: have been the case last year if not for the

1123
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 1: one touchdown um. He was one of three tight ends

1124
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 1: the top of thousand yards, Travis Kelsey and Mark Andrews

1125
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 1: the only other two. Pitts average more yards perception than

1126
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 1: Kelsey and Andrews did. That'd be right. Well, I know this,

1127
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 1: and that's why I've been banging the drum. But I

1128
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: could be wrong. I could be wrong because maybe they

1129
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 1: continue to misutilize him. The quarterback play might be worse.

1130
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of Matt Ryan, but Marcus Mariota's

1131
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. You never know. Drake London I think helps

1132
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts cause, but maybe he is the alpha receiver

1133
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 1: for the Falcons. So there are there is some concern

1134
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 1: that Kyle Pitts may not be the league winner that

1135
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm telling him as. But I'm still I'm not gonna

1136
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 1: be wrong about this. But maybe okay, all right, Scott,

1137
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 1: what is keeping you awake? What do you what are

1138
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: you worried that you might be wrong about? So I'm

1139
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 1: way overweight on Alan Robinson. I've been in on him

1140
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 1: on almost every show I've done. I've thrown out there.

1141
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 1: The Robert Woods was wide receiver twelve before the injury,

1142
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: and O b J was wide receiver thirteen from the

1143
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: time he got there to the end of the season.

1144
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: But O b J had a few games that weren't

1145
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 1: that great. They just scored touchdowns, and Robert Woods had

1146
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 1: a couple, like a hundred and fifty yard game and

1147
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 1: like a touch Maybe it was a little, you know,

1148
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 1: a little more flukey than I like to believe. Van

1149
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 1: Jefferson will be coming back, And what if he takes

1150
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 1: a step up? What if O b J. H Allen

1151
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: Robinson is actually half washed at this point and the

1152
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 1: Bears to tell you he is. What if all those

1153
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 1: things are actually what was going on? And that the

1154
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 1: value the wide receiver too, I think I'm getting is

1155
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 1: more like a wide receiver for And there is concern

1156
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 1: with Matt Stafford's elbow. Yes, yeah, yeah, there's There's a

1157
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 1: lot of things that could actually be going wrong here

1158
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 1: and I'm choosing not to see them. One of the

1159
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:32,000
Speaker 1: things that I'm laying awake at night worrying about, what

1160
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 1: if the Bears offense doesn't self destruct from the offensive

1161
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 1: line backwards, which is the rearly the thinking I think

1162
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 1: for all, Yeah, this offensive line is so bad commercially

1163
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: bears on any of my teams. But what if it

1164
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 1: turns out that maybe offensive line is not as important

1165
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: as we think it is. Maybe Justin Fields is just

1166
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: gonna scramble that much more and run that much more,

1167
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: and that he's going to be a very serviceable fantasy

1168
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: court About if Alex Leatherwood uh by them? What what

1169
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 1: if he turns into the Vikings Raiders Dan Carlson version, right, right,

1170
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 1: I mean what that maybe the Bears aren't gonna be

1171
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 1: you know, basically, I've got him pegged as the worst

1172
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 1: offense or one of the worst offense. What if I'm

1173
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 1: completely wrong that offensiveive line matters this much, Brian, what

1174
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 1: else is keeping you up nights? Well? I said, Uh,

1175
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 1: I peacocked off that se Kwan Barkley will finish his

1176
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: RB one. Let's just say I could be wrong that

1177
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: he finishes as a top five back at the very least. Uh,

1178
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: for the reasons. The reasons I think he could be

1179
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: RB one is he's two years removed from the major

1180
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 1: knee injury. The offensive line is much improved in New York.

1181
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 1: They have a new head coach, offensive mind of Brian Dable,

1182
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 1: former offensive according for the Bills. But what if Barkley,

1183
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 1: even though he's still young, what if he just we've

1184
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 1: seen the best room him and that was his in

1185
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 1: his rookie year and the Giant What if the Giants

1186
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 1: offense is continues to be inept. They're they're pretty weak

1187
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 1: at wide receiver, Barkley might see a ton of stack boxes.

1188
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 1: But uh, still very optimistic for sake Kwon Barkley. But

1189
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:03,919
Speaker 1: I could be wrong about this, and it's gonna sting

1190
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: because I'm starting to take him in the late first

1191
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 1: round and even earlier if I've been earlier draft pick.

1192
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 1: I just think this ceiling is sky high. And once again,

1193
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 1: you're going back to you. Okay, you get if if

1194
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 1: I'm we're saying we might be wrong about things. So

1195
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: I have to say why I thought i'm or why

1196
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm adicating for this. That's fair, Scott. What is keeping

1197
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:26,600
Speaker 1: you awake at night? What might you be wrong to see?

1198
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 1: These things aren't give me awake at night? But what

1199
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong? On Miles Sanders, He's been borderline undraftable

1200
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 1: for me. I have zero of him in any of

1201
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: my leagues. He hasn't involved much in the passing game.

1202
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 1: He's barely averaged to catches per game over the last

1203
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 1: two seasons. He doesn't get goal of line work. He's

1204
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 1: had six rush attempts inside the five last year out

1205
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 1: of forty three attempts from the team. Um. He even

1206
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 1: says don't draft him, but there he caught fifty balls

1207
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 1: his rookie year and he was super efficient catching the ball.

1208
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 1: What if he reclaims that role? He might be the

1209
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,520
Speaker 1: RB one on an offense that I think is primed

1210
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 1: to take off. I think Jalen Hurts is gonna have

1211
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 1: a good year and take that offense off. And what

1212
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 1: if he's the RB one? What if he does become

1213
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 1: that goal line back like Eckler, who didn't get goal

1214
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: line snaps and then all of a sudden did. We

1215
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 1: might be looking at the RB one on a really

1216
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 1: good offense that I've just completely avoided because of what

1217
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 1: happened the last two years. Very fair, Very fair. I

1218
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 1: might be wrong about cam Akers. I've talked about it

1219
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 1: a million times on the show. Nobody's come back from

1220
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: running back, to come back from a torn achilles to

1221
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: have a productive career, um numerous at least one report

1222
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: that I've seen suggesting cam Akers had some kind of

1223
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: new fangled procedure that might have yield better results, and

1224
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 1: that new that new procedure is what let him come

1225
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 1: back as fast as he did for the playoff run

1226
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 1: last year. I hope I am wrong to mean this

1227
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 1: is the thing. I hope I'm wrong about. I hope

1228
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 1: cam Akers has a great career. But I've been I've

1229
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:56,560
Speaker 1: been off of him. I've been drafting Darrell Henderson or

1230
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: just avoiding that whole backfield for all you know, for

1231
01:05:59,920 --> 01:06:03,439
Speaker 1: the this entire year. And cam Akers might be the first,

1232
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 1: maybe it's the first running back in the history of

1233
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: the NFL to be productive after the Achilles Brian, what

1234
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 1: might you be wrong about? I've been banging the drums

1235
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 1: since the spring saying Dallas Goddard is going going to

1236
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 1: join the tight End Elite this year. Um. I might

1237
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 1: be wrong about that though, but all all the metrics

1238
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 1: were there. I won't go into them. I've said a

1239
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 1: multiple times on this show, but he just didn't see

1240
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 1: the volume last season with Philly, um zach Ertz has

1241
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 1: gone now, so that helps his cause. But A J.

1242
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 1: Browns and Town Philadelphia also has an arguably the one

1243
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 1: of the best, the best defense or one of the

1244
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: best defenses in the NFL. Now, maybe they're not going

1245
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 1: to be involved in a ton of shootouts. They might

1246
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 1: be a more run heavy team, but yeah, Davante Smith

1247
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 1: A J. Brown are gonna soak up targets. Uh. You

1248
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:50,000
Speaker 1: know they've got good running backs in Miles Sanders, Keneth Ganewell,

1249
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 1: and Baston Scott. So if Dallas Goddard doesn't see the volume,

1250
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 1: he won't join the tight end Elite. But I still

1251
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 1: think he will so, but I still could be wrong

1252
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:02,400
Speaker 1: about that. Scott, what might you be wrong about? I'm

1253
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 1: going over to Adam Felan, and I hate to say

1254
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 1: this because I'm a Vikings fan and we have beat

1255
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: this drum but that best end zone conversion right in

1256
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 1: the NFL over the last two years, um those you know,

1257
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns and eleven healthy fall games. He's gotten hurt

1258
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 1: a lot recently. He could he could just be in

1259
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 1: his thirties and starting to get hurt more. This Kevin

1260
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: O'Connell offense. They fed Cooper Cup in the end zone.

1261
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 1: We we don't know that Adam DeLand roll Theelan's role

1262
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 1: is going to stay the same in that area that

1263
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:36,240
Speaker 1: it was in the Zimmer regime. It might be justin

1264
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: Jefferson in the Cooper Cup role taking those end zone targets.

1265
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 1: Like with Kevin O'Connell's offense. What if k j Osborne

1266
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 1: steps up more than we think? What if Cook lining

1267
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 1: up outside like he's doing takes more receptions than we

1268
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 1: think and more short stuff which Adam theland does. I

1269
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 1: could be wrong about Adam Felan, and uh it scares

1270
01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 1: me because I got him everywhere. I don't think I

1271
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:03,920
Speaker 1: am though. I don't think you are either well hopefully

1272
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 1: hopefully you're exactly wrong, or well you're right, uh and

1273
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 1: wrong about being wrong. I might be wrong about that

1274
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 1: Bucks offense. What if Tom Brady is just as magical

1275
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 1: and timeless as ever. What if all of the things

1276
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:21,600
Speaker 1: that have gone wrong around Tom Brady this year, what

1277
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 1: if they don't matter? What if they just don't matter

1278
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 1: because it's Tom freaking Brady. When you know, and we've

1279
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:30,640
Speaker 1: talked already on this show, all the discounted prices on

1280
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:34,920
Speaker 1: all of these buccaneers. Everybody's worried, offensive lines and shambles.

1281
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 1: Chris Goodwin's trying to come back from an a c

1282
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 1: L lost grong, this you know, lost her head coach,

1283
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 1: so many things that have gone wrong. But what if

1284
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 1: it just doesn't matter because it's Tom Brady. Yep, he's

1285
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 1: looking a little frail. Since it's uh, Philip peaked, that

1286
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:54,880
Speaker 1: makes it a burger too, would you you know? You

1287
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 1: might well, that's not part of the burger is really

1288
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 1: part of the t V eight experience. We've never determined

1289
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 1: where he went right. He never disclosed that. No, we

1290
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 1: don't know now, even though he came back looking like

1291
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:11,839
Speaker 1: he had half of his face stuck that anything else, anybody,

1292
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 1: anything else? Leaving you guys awake? I got one more,

1293
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 1: I'll drop one more. Uh cool? Comet. I've been all

1294
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:21,240
Speaker 1: over him off the drafting everywhere as my second tight end,

1295
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: and if I've punted it, I've taken him in the

1296
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 1: eighth or ninth. He had sixty receptions on ninety three

1297
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:29,760
Speaker 1: targets and limited work fighting off Jimmy Graham and Jesse James.

1298
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 1: And if you think they didn't weren't taking much, they

1299
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,519
Speaker 1: were combining for like forty five snaps a game the

1300
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 1: last few weeks, etcetera. Uh, both are gone now he's

1301
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 1: the third year tight end Allen Robinson has gone. Now.

1302
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 1: In fact, the Bears lost their second, third, and fourth

1303
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 1: or no, not their second. They lost three of their

1304
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 1: top five target getters. Um, I've been all over it.

1305
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 1: But what if the offense, like we've talked about with

1306
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 1: the Bears, and Matt talked about this as a bus

1307
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 1: candidate last week. What if it's just completely an emic?

1308
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:00,200
Speaker 1: What if this offense he didn't score any touched owns

1309
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 1: last year because they didn't get him in the red

1310
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: zone enough. What if that's the offense. So I'm laying

1311
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:08,559
Speaker 1: awake because the Bears offense might be better than I thought.

1312
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:10,639
Speaker 1: You're laying away because the Bears offense might be worse,

1313
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:16,640
Speaker 1: you thought, Yeah, exactly. That's also they passed it one

1314
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 1: of the lowest rates inside the inside the ten last year,

1315
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 1: and that's where tight ends make their hay. That is true.

1316
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 1: I think they may have been the run heaviest team,

1317
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:26,760
Speaker 1: or if they were, it must be close to that.

1318
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:29,639
Speaker 1: It was a two to one run pass ratio. It's

1319
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 1: not the five um last one I'll say. That's left

1320
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: made me wonder a little bit. And I've passed on

1321
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson like in my various leagues a hundred times.

1322
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: You know, what, what if he responds to all these challenges?

1323
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 1: Well he was the what if he is the player

1324
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 1: we hoped he would be at this time last year,

1325
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 1: and now Brian Robinson's out of the picture through no

1326
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 1: fault of his own, and he just houses the main

1327
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:57,799
Speaker 1: running back job commanders all year. So they released Jared Patterson,

1328
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 1: they're clearly comfortable with they are with him and Gibson absolutely.

1329
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 1: When we come back Thursday night, preview Yeah Game, Fantasy

1330
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 1: Football Weekly Style and releasing our final sleepers of the preseason.

1331
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 1: Final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. Coming up next final

1332
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 1: segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchi and Scott Fish

1333
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:45,479
Speaker 1: and Brian Johnson with you. There's a brand new way

1334
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:49,680
Speaker 1: to play Guillotine least called zombie Mode. The idea is

1335
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 1: for anybody who's been nervous about joining a guillotine league

1336
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:54,720
Speaker 1: because you don't want to get chopped. You don't want

1337
01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 1: to have a five week experience, I have your season

1338
01:11:57,200 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 1: and early instead of getting chopped, you joined the bombie

1339
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 1: horde that stays alive and continues to pester and ultimately

1340
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 1: try to kill off the human surviving teams and perhaps

1341
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 1: ultimately the end of the year, retain regain your humanity. Yeah,

1342
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 1: in a nutshell, if you get chopped and become a zombie,

1343
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 1: you lose your whole team, but you still maintain whatever

1344
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:21,920
Speaker 1: fab you have le half half your fab, but you

1345
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 1: just got to build a whole new team. Yep. With

1346
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 1: you get the bit on players just like the humans do.

1347
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 1: And then you had ad a free agents via first come,

1348
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:32,400
Speaker 1: first serve. But uh yeah, you can earn your way

1349
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: back into the human race. And every time the zombies

1350
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:37,679
Speaker 1: take down a human, half of the FAB gets spread

1351
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:40,560
Speaker 1: among all the zombies, and I think before long is

1352
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 1: obviously you have more FAB than the humans have got

1353
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 1: and so the zombies have some real pathways to getting

1354
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 1: back and getting strong, which we love. It's conceptually it's

1355
01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 1: like they're eating brains of the humans, brains brains. Let's

1356
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 1: talk through our final set of sleepers for this preseason.

1357
01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:59,759
Speaker 1: We've already given out. This will be a four different

1358
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 1: sets of them. This will be our fifth Scott, you

1359
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 1: want to go first? Who is your final sleeper? Sure,

1360
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm going. I'm going with one of those UH teammates,

1361
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 1: a DP guys where I wanted the lower guy and

1362
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 1: more and more every week I'm wanting the lower guy.

1363
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:17,080
Speaker 1: It's Darrell Henderson going in the eleventh round. We're talking

1364
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 1: about a guy when healthy last year averaged five point

1365
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 1: seven yards per carry in fourteen point seven yards per reception.

1366
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:27,000
Speaker 1: That's pretty darn good. That's actually really effective. In his

1367
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 1: nine games where he had ten or more touches, he

1368
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 1: scored eight times, averaging eighties seven total yards. That's pretty

1369
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 1: dang good for an eleventh rounder. If he can find

1370
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:41,200
Speaker 1: his way to ten plus touches utinely this year, which

1371
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 1: I think he will, he's a pretty effective flex play.

1372
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:50,559
Speaker 1: Especially in good matchups. You're getting in the double digit rounds, Brian,

1373
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 1: your final sleeper of the preseason, I'm going with Bill's

1374
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:58,719
Speaker 1: rookie wide receiver Khalil Shakier, drafted in the fifth round

1375
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:01,240
Speaker 1: out of Boise State at he was tagged with that

1376
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 1: kind of small school stigma maybe little little in the draft,

1377
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 1: and technically he's wide receiver five right now on the

1378
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:09,960
Speaker 1: depth chart, but outside of Stephan Diggs, he's the only

1379
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver I think we can play on the outside

1380
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,639
Speaker 1: and in the slot. So if something were to happen

1381
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 1: to Digs or Gabe Davis, I think he slides right

1382
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:19,799
Speaker 1: into the starting lineup there. And now I say, Mackenzie,

1383
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:21,599
Speaker 1: we like, we like him on the show, but he's

1384
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 1: twenty seven years old and he's like five eight hundred

1385
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 1: and seventy pounds. I don't know if he's gonna last

1386
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 1: a whole season. He's only caught passes in his five

1387
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: year career. He's never been he's never been a full

1388
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 1: time starter. And Jamison Crowder is just a guy. That's

1389
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:40,640
Speaker 1: a proven fact. So Shakira, if he gets it's a

1390
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:43,680
Speaker 1: proven fact that he's a guy, that's that's about all

1391
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 1: he has going for. Because are you saying he openly

1392
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:48,679
Speaker 1: identifies a male. I'm not going there, but I will

1393
01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:52,160
Speaker 1: tell you this. Kail Shaker leads all players in the preseason,

1394
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 1: all wide receivers. I know not all the big names

1395
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 1: are playing in the preseason, but he leads all wide

1396
01:14:56,920 --> 01:14:59,680
Speaker 1: receivers uh in catches of fifteen plus e ards. So

1397
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 1: he's he looks explosive and if given opportunity in that

1398
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:05,599
Speaker 1: Bill's offense, he could uh be a difference maker. That's

1399
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:09,360
Speaker 1: a deep sleeper. I like it. I am going with

1400
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 1: Minnesota wide receiver kJ Osborne. Now Osborne, it has been

1401
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 1: in the league now for two years. This will be

1402
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 1: his his third year. His first year, kJ Osborne did

1403
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:27,680
Speaker 1: not see the field, not one play it as a

1404
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:31,439
Speaker 1: rookie and rolls into his sophomore year, b C. Johnson

1405
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 1: is going to be the third receiver. But then b C.

1406
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 1: Johnson tears his A C L and suddenly kJ Osborne

1407
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:42,639
Speaker 1: gets gets thrust into a meaningful role in the Vikings offense.

1408
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:47,599
Speaker 1: Last year, what happens. He puts up the best season

1409
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 1: of any Vikings third receiver in the history of the club.

1410
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 1: Seven hundred yards and seven touchdowns for kJ Osborne. Yes

1411
01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:04,160
Speaker 1: and last see in effectively his rookie year. Uh. Last year,

1412
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, was effectively his rookie eor So he's

1413
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:09,719
Speaker 1: effectively kind of kJ osmarine into his sophomore year, second

1414
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:12,439
Speaker 1: year as a starter. So he's got room to get better,

1415
01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:17,759
Speaker 1: maybe a lot better. And maybe the gap between kJ

1416
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:22,040
Speaker 1: Osborne and Theelan Jefferson is less than we think it is.

1417
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 1: He might be a better receiver than we realize. I

1418
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 1: was gonna say, I almost went with Hassan Jones, but

1419
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 1: I feel like that would have been too deep. That

1420
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 1: is deep for most of our listening audience here, So

1421
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:36,240
Speaker 1: you're not concerned about Jalen reader. No, I have not

1422
01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:40,720
Speaker 1: no return man. The Mike Zimmer's gone. It's Kevin O'Connell here.

1423
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:44,519
Speaker 1: Now he's going to Kjosmoe will run out of the

1424
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 1: slot for Kevin O'Connell. The last receiver to run out

1425
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 1: of this for Kevin O'Connell was Cooper Cup. So triple

1426
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:59,519
Speaker 1: crown obviously coming for kJ Osborne. Um. Okay, So seriously,

1427
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:01,479
Speaker 1: you'll be the receiving option. But who's to say that

1428
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:04,120
Speaker 1: Minnesota is gonna be a low volume passing offense anymore.

1429
01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:06,760
Speaker 1: The third receiver option or Kevin O'Connell might be very good.

1430
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:09,400
Speaker 1: O'Connor knows how to scheme open players in the slot.

1431
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 1: kJ Osborne, nobody's really talking about him. Going right now,

1432
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:18,439
Speaker 1: pick one hundred eighty off the board. I think that's

1433
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:21,799
Speaker 1: a lot of value for k j Osborne. My final

1434
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 1: sleeper for this year this coming Thursday, is there a

1435
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:33,360
Speaker 1: game NFL Action. Uh, It's finally here. We've been talking

1436
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:36,840
Speaker 1: about it forever whole off season. We're finally going to

1437
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:41,799
Speaker 1: have our first game now as regular listeners to Fantasy

1438
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:43,720
Speaker 1: Football Weekly, No, once we get into the season, we

1439
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:46,719
Speaker 1: break down every game fantasy style. We give letter grades

1440
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 1: A B, C or bench grade to all of the

1441
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 1: fantasy fantasy relevant players from the this year, for the

1442
01:17:55,160 --> 01:18:01,639
Speaker 1: first year in our your history, we are adding pluses.

1443
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:06,879
Speaker 1: And now, the thing about this game, it's a Buffalo

1444
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 1: versus l A and it's in l A. Oh my god.

1445
01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 1: These are arguably the two best defenses in the NFL.

1446
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 1: That's what this thing is. There's going to be a

1447
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 1: real chance that there's some frustrated people who feel like

1448
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:24,759
Speaker 1: they drafted well and they invested into high profile players

1449
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 1: from two good offenses that end up getting very little

1450
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 1: in this first Thursday night game. So a's for the

1451
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 1: defenses and the kickers maybe the case. So these defenses

1452
01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:39,799
Speaker 1: ranked number one and number two in passing touchdowns allowed

1453
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:44,840
Speaker 1: last year. I don't have an A grade on anybody

1454
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 1: in this game. Oh my lord. Yes, and Buffalo was

1455
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 1: without trade Devious White All Pro corner for correct good

1456
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 1: amount of the season and they were stifling and they're

1457
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:59,680
Speaker 1: gonna be without him as well for this game. I

1458
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,560
Speaker 1: of that. You're saying, bench Josh Allen, That's really not

1459
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. He does come in with a B

1460
01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:08,519
Speaker 1: grade here. The Rams allow of the sixth fewest fantasy

1461
01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:11,840
Speaker 1: points at quarterbacks last year. Secondary got a little better

1462
01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 1: with the return of Troy Hill. Cornerback Troy Hill. He

1463
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:16,880
Speaker 1: was very good in l A last year. He man.

1464
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about him in a minute. The Rams

1465
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:24,200
Speaker 1: allowed the second fewest passing touchdowns last year. No opposing

1466
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:28,840
Speaker 1: quarterback all year against the Rams. Top two touchdowns that

1467
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:32,800
Speaker 1: includes Tom Brady Aaron Rodgers guys are just two touchdowns.

1468
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:36,160
Speaker 1: We did see mobile quarterbacks ding the Rams a little

1469
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 1: bit on the ground, including Kyler Murray and Tyler Huntley,

1470
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:42,840
Speaker 1: who boast top both top fifty rushing yards against Los

1471
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:45,000
Speaker 1: Angeles at the end of the season, and Josh Allen

1472
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:48,640
Speaker 1: can always be effective on the ground, but an explosive

1473
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 1: game seems very unlikely against a very good Rams secondary.

1474
01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:56,400
Speaker 1: So just the B grade on Josh Allen. Hopefully he

1475
01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:58,600
Speaker 1: chips in with his legs. Let's go to his some

1476
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:04,840
Speaker 1: of his receiving targets like Stephen Diggs Rams as mentioned earlier,

1477
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:07,360
Speaker 1: very good past defense. Jalen Ramsey, of course, is the

1478
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 1: signature player there. Ramsey shadows a lot and Diggs will

1479
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:15,160
Speaker 1: likely get most of his attention when these seems met.

1480
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 1: Two years ago, Digs shook Ramsey by lining up in

1481
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:20,720
Speaker 1: the slot for much of that game, and there he

1482
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:23,680
Speaker 1: found success, and he posted four catches, fifty yards and

1483
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:27,120
Speaker 1: a touchdown, primarily by running in the slot. Ramsey does

1484
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:30,720
Speaker 1: not follow into the slot typically. Um Ramsey wasn't quite

1485
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 1: as good last year as he was the previous season,

1486
01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:34,920
Speaker 1: but he still only gave up average per game averages

1487
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:39,400
Speaker 1: of twenty nine yards and zero point two touchdowns per game.

1488
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:41,800
Speaker 1: So they may have to move Digs around a little

1489
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:44,639
Speaker 1: bit to get him to shake Ramsey. And that's your

1490
01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:48,240
Speaker 1: upside play on Diggs. Your downside play is kind of

1491
01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:50,639
Speaker 1: what Ramsey usually gives up twenty nine yards and point

1492
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, which would be obviously be a very down

1493
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:56,240
Speaker 1: game for Diggs. Just to the B grade on Diggs.

1494
01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 1: You'll start him and I would too. But keep your

1495
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:04,760
Speaker 1: keep your expectations. Yes, thank you, thank you. Let's talk

1496
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 1: about Gabriel Damped even better. We're gonna tamp those expectations. Scott.

1497
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:14,600
Speaker 1: You uh, it's got your big Gabriel Davis guy have

1498
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:17,839
Speaker 1: been for a long time, finally got the big payoff

1499
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. You'll remember perfect right. It's act playoff

1500
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:27,880
Speaker 1: game against Kansas City. Two hundred yards and four touchdowns,

1501
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 1: one of the great playoff performances in the history of

1502
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 1: the NFL. Um If Ramsey is shadowing Digs, which we expect,

1503
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 1: that puts Davis on cornerback David Long. His Profo ball

1504
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:41,320
Speaker 1: Focus grades were middling, but Long actually gave up fewer

1505
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:44,000
Speaker 1: yards and touchdowns on a per game basis than than

1506
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 1: Ramsey did. Just twenty three yards per game and zero

1507
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:51,080
Speaker 1: points zero eight touchdowns per game. You gave up just

1508
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:55,080
Speaker 1: one passing touchdown all year, including the playoffs. David Long

1509
01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:59,160
Speaker 1: is is a challenging cornerback as well. I still I

1510
01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:02,040
Speaker 1: love Gabriel day of us with the momentum, whatever momentum

1511
01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:04,960
Speaker 1: is left from the playoffs, and I still very bullish

1512
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:06,719
Speaker 1: on him for this year. But this is a tough matchup.

1513
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:09,719
Speaker 1: I think there's momentum coming from confidence from Josh Allen

1514
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:12,639
Speaker 1: because when he made Gabriel Davis made that touchdown catch

1515
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:15,840
Speaker 1: in the preseason week too. I believe Josh Allen had

1516
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 1: a quote after the game something like, I threw it

1517
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:19,640
Speaker 1: up because I know Davis is gonna be up there

1518
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:23,840
Speaker 1: out there somewhere. That's pretty nice. Yeah, that is if

1519
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:25,720
Speaker 1: I think Gave Davis is somewhere in the city. I'm

1520
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 1: just gonna throw it up to him. Put an optimistic

1521
01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:30,920
Speaker 1: B grade on Davis, but he's got C grade downside

1522
01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:34,160
Speaker 1: on him. But I feel like i'd be hard pressed

1523
01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:37,320
Speaker 1: to benjam here. I'm giving Dave, Gabriel, Gabriel Davis the

1524
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,960
Speaker 1: B grade it. We hope that Isaiah McKenzie is going

1525
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 1: to be able to play. He's nursing an injury right now.

1526
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 1: You want to follow that he will play in the slot.

1527
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:48,080
Speaker 1: He's gonna see Troy Hill. When I mentioned earlier Hill

1528
01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 1: returns after basically a lost season in Cleveland last year

1529
01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:55,560
Speaker 1: with injury. Hill was very good in the slot for

1530
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:58,800
Speaker 1: l A two years ago, where he was giving up

1531
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:00,599
Speaker 1: just thirty or four yards per game and gave up

1532
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 1: just one touchdown all year while he was in l A.

1533
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:07,599
Speaker 1: I have very something very important to share about Gabriel Davis.

1534
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 1: The Rams selected Van Jefferson over Gabriel Davis. Spike game games,

1535
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:20,600
Speaker 1: all these spike games on the revenge Alright, Sorry, you

1536
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:21,960
Speaker 1: have to have actually been on the team to be

1537
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:24,840
Speaker 1: to qualify as revenge. When you're passed over in the draft,

1538
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:28,880
Speaker 1: it's it's spike game. Um, mackenzie is a burner and

1539
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:32,720
Speaker 1: Hill is decidedly not fast. Uh, and so there's a

1540
01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 1: chance McKenzie slips past Hill for a big game. But

1541
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:38,640
Speaker 1: without that, I worry about Hill shutting down mackenzie. I've

1542
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 1: got a C grade on McKenzie. You're going for a

1543
01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 1: home run connection, assuming he's able to play in this game.

1544
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:47,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the running backs. Devin Singletary,

1545
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:51,920
Speaker 1: James Cook, Lesser extent, Zack Moss. Rams are good run defense.

1546
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 1: No back topped nine one yards against l A after

1547
01:23:56,439 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 1: Week four of last year and over those final four games,

1548
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:04,719
Speaker 1: l A only gave up three point four yards per carry.

1549
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:08,479
Speaker 1: That is nothing. They can get dinged a little bit

1550
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:10,479
Speaker 1: through the air, and we saw big games from GEO

1551
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:13,439
Speaker 1: Bernard DeAndre swift Leo for Neette James Conner through the

1552
01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:17,120
Speaker 1: air last year. Singletary is an okay receiver. We believe

1553
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:19,639
Speaker 1: James Cook is a pretty good receiver, so maybe Cook

1554
01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 1: could be a little bit better here. But I've just

1555
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 1: got C grades on Singletary and Cook, and I don't

1556
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:28,519
Speaker 1: think they will both have C grades, but one or

1557
01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:31,680
Speaker 1: the other probably does okay here and the other one

1558
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:34,360
Speaker 1: probably gets very little. And we're gonna leave Zack Moss

1559
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:36,960
Speaker 1: on the bench and just see what happens with him

1560
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:39,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. Also on the bench, tight end, Dawson

1561
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:43,639
Speaker 1: Knox Rams are an above average but not dominating tight

1562
01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:46,599
Speaker 1: end defense. Last year, only one opposing tight end top

1563
01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:50,160
Speaker 1: sixties six yards all year against the Rams, and it

1564
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:53,680
Speaker 1: was Mark andrews um new Ram. Bobby Wagner could be

1565
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 1: asked to cover knocks offen. Wagner only allowed one touchdown

1566
01:24:57,320 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 1: in his coverage the past two seasons, and Knox is

1567
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:04,640
Speaker 1: a touchdown dependent tight end, So if Bobby Wagoner is

1568
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:06,599
Speaker 1: going to pick up that assignment. I don't like Dawson

1569
01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:08,800
Speaker 1: Knox here because you need that touchdown. I don't think

1570
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 1: he gets it. Um strong safety Jordan Filler, we'll Fuller.

1571
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:14,439
Speaker 1: We'll also get some tight end coverage responsibilities. And he

1572
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:17,559
Speaker 1: didn't give up any touchdowns last year, so we're all

1573
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 1: that together and Dawson Knox is firmly on the bench.

1574
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:24,680
Speaker 1: Do you guys think of being overly pessimistic about my

1575
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:28,920
Speaker 1: Bills analysis here? No? No, I think I think it's

1576
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 1: fair given the tough matchups on defense, It's it's fair.

1577
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:35,479
Speaker 1: I I feel like a lot of people are going

1578
01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 1: to want to start a many like they're because they're

1579
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:40,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna start because it's Week one of the fantasy

1580
01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:42,160
Speaker 1: season and they're year starters. So and a lot of

1581
01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:44,280
Speaker 1: people think Bills have the best offense in the NFL.

1582
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:46,880
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, like that, you're holding down the expectations.

1583
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 1: Though Cooper cup and Ellen Robinson get b grades, the

1584
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:53,600
Speaker 1: Bills were last year's best overall past defense, allowing the

1585
01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:57,240
Speaker 1: fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers, and it was not close.

1586
01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:00,439
Speaker 1: They only allowed They ranked number one in touch sounds allowed.

1587
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:03,600
Speaker 1: To receivers. Get this, they give up six touchdowns to

1588
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:06,639
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Last year, they were number one in yards allowed,

1589
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 1: barely one hundred yards per game to impose opposing entire

1590
01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver groups. So imagine you know, Cooper Cupp and

1591
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:15,639
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson will probably combined for more than a hundred,

1592
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 1: but still says a lot. Um. Robinson may have an

1593
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 1: advantage because Bill's cornerback tra Davious White not expected to

1594
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:24,720
Speaker 1: play Brian as we were talking earlier. He's missed the

1595
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:27,360
Speaker 1: entire preseason rehabbing his a c L from last year.

1596
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:30,560
Speaker 1: Uh Dane Jackson and rookie Key here Elam will be

1597
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 1: trying to handle Robinson on the outside. Cooper Cup meanwhile,

1598
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:38,040
Speaker 1: draws elite slot corner Tarron Johnson. He only allowed twenty

1599
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:40,680
Speaker 1: six yards per game and gave up just two touchdowns

1600
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:44,200
Speaker 1: in nineteen games last year. You gotta start cupping Robinson

1601
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:47,640
Speaker 1: to keep your expectations in check. Um, Matthew Stafford, if

1602
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:49,720
Speaker 1: I've got B grades on cupping Robinson, that puts a

1603
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:52,960
Speaker 1: B grade on Stafford as well as their quarterback here.

1604
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:56,360
Speaker 1: But again, very very tough past defense, and this could

1605
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:58,920
Speaker 1: have some downside in it. That you don't expect. Um

1606
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 1: Van Jefferson maybe a spot starter desperation play because of

1607
01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 1: inexperienced rookie Cutier Elham expected to start on the other

1608
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 1: side of as the starting quarterback for the Bills. Maybe

1609
01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 1: Van Jefferson wins that battle once or twice. And the

1610
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:14,599
Speaker 1: last part of the passing game, I'll mention Tyler Higbee.

1611
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:17,680
Speaker 1: With the surprise release of Kendall Blanton, Higbee looking at

1612
01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:20,840
Speaker 1: a big workload. But this is another case. Buffalo is

1613
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:23,639
Speaker 1: just great against tight ends here, allowing the second fewest

1614
01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:26,520
Speaker 1: points of the position last year and just one touchdown

1615
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:29,639
Speaker 1: across the final eleven games of the year to tight ends.

1616
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:32,640
Speaker 1: So Higbee is on the bench, and that leaves us

1617
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:36,280
Speaker 1: with Cam Akers and Darryl Henderson, both backs returning from injuries.

1618
01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:39,320
Speaker 1: The Bills lost run stuffing tackle Harrison Phillips in the

1619
01:27:39,400 --> 01:27:42,160
Speaker 1: off season, and Buffalo's past defense is great, so I

1620
01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:44,240
Speaker 1: think they're gonna want to run the ball. But they

1621
01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:48,120
Speaker 1: also lost Andrew Wentworth off their offensive line. So Acres

1622
01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:50,280
Speaker 1: and Henderson in a time share here don't interest me

1623
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:53,040
Speaker 1: a lot. I've just got C grades on both Acres

1624
01:27:53,120 --> 01:27:56,479
Speaker 1: first game the season back they share Maybe ten to

1625
01:27:56,680 --> 01:28:00,880
Speaker 1: twelve touches against a good run defense just feels like

1626
01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:05,840
Speaker 1: a twenty to seventeen outcome. It don't be depressed when

1627
01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:08,639
Speaker 1: you're Bills and Rams, don't football be back. One's gonna

1628
01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:11,000
Speaker 1: be depressed. I hope you're right about that. Thanks for
