<v Speaker 1>Football Weekly, final preseason edition. I am Paul Giarchy and

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 1>my co host today are Brian Johnson, Guillotine Leagues dot Com,

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:39.159
<v Speaker 1>Scott Fish. Hi, guys, what's going on? Great to this

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 1>is we now know basically everything we're going to know

0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>going into Week one for our drafts. It's it's all

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:50.560
<v Speaker 1>been laid bare. And best part about it, healthiest preseason

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>we've had ever. I've never been part of a preseason

0:00:55.360 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>that's had one mid tier significant injury. Tim Patrick, that's it.

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:05.639
<v Speaker 1>I'd worry about Brian Robinson. Yeah, well, okay, I'd worry

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.959
<v Speaker 1>about you jinxing it, but I don't see how that

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>could happen. I think we're I think we're finally safe

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it. I love that part of the

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.400
<v Speaker 1>how this offseason has gone. Someone is like slipping in

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the shower right now. The whole league just start the season.

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:26.119
<v Speaker 1>There's been a long off season, but it is. We're

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>so close to the start of the season now that

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 1>the last segment of the show, we will do our

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Football weekly style breakdown of the Thursday night game

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 1>letter grades for all the players, just the way we

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>normally do our in season stuff. It's already here. I

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>can't wait. We'll start the show by talking about the

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.919
<v Speaker 1>one thing that you need to know about each team's preseason.

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 1>And when I say one thing, I'm guessing it's gonna

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>be like two to five. Yeah. We'll talk about who

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>won all the training camp battles that we talked about

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 1>in our first preseason show as we were looking forward

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 1>to training camp. We'll play three tough questions our favorite

0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:06.480
<v Speaker 1>game on this show, which teammate is the better one

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 1>to draft? We will give you a pair of teammates

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 1>and say who would you draft at their A DP

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:16.399
<v Speaker 1>guy A or guy or teammate be well? And then

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 1>this is the c y A segment of our preseason

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>called I Might Be Wrong, where we confess the things A.

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>How old am I? What is c Y? A? Cover

0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:35.840
<v Speaker 1>your okay? Okay, yeah, right, art? Cover your art? Man?

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Wait a minute, can you can you not say our

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>can we not say Art Park on this show? Okay, alright, alright,

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.919
<v Speaker 1>there we go. Let's do it. Cover your ardvark. Alright,

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 1>let's go through each of the teams. Feel really old

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:55.959
<v Speaker 1>right now? Stuff abbreviating stuff. Let's go through the one

0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 1>thing you need to know about each team's preseason. We

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>begin with Scott Fish and the Carolina Panthers. Yeah, they

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:07.120
<v Speaker 1>most recently they traded for laviska channel. Don't know what

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>role he's going to be in that offense, but it's

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 1>another weapon for the Baker mayfield that offense with Sam

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>donald on officially put on I R now, all right, Brian,

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the Las Vegas Raiders. So Darren Waller wasn't practicing basically

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:26.119
<v Speaker 1>all preseason training camp, but he got his contract extension

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>that wanted and he's on the coincidence I think not,

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 1>but needless to say, I am very happy, and you

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:38.080
<v Speaker 1>guys are so say that he's most people are like

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>so Waller should be on track to play in Week one.

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 1>And it's also worth noting that the Raiders released offensive

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>tackle Alex Leatherwood, who was the seventeenth offensive tackle. Alex

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Leatherwood on a team with one of the worst offensive

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 1>line in the draft lest year ago. I mean he

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I forget the name of the award he won, like

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:03.119
<v Speaker 1>the best offensive lineman award in one went to Alabama,

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 1>who just you know, turns out lead players at all level.

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>So he's gone. I mean that JaMarcus. Nothing will top

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the JaMarcus Russell pick by the Raiders. But this might

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 1>be the second worst pick in uh yeah, I mean,

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 1>if not league history, franchise history. JaMarcus r Also was

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 1>a total disaster first pick overall in the draft. But

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.160
<v Speaker 1>at least they're getting out of Alex Leatherwood fast, right,

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean with JaMarcus, that thing lingered on for like

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>three years before they and that was pre you know,

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 1>it's it's when the contracts were huge for the one. Yeah,

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 1>that was right, it was, that's right. But he blew

0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>it all on purple drank. Remember that. Remember Vince Young

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 1>blew it all on Friday's. He went to Friday's lot

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>and just paid for everyone's meals at Fridays and he

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.919
<v Speaker 1>just loved t g came from a good place in

0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>his heart. But the Raiders offensive line is a concern

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>when you're cutting the seventeenth the whole wick Who's supposed

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 1>to feel a major void and he didn't, And uh

0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 1>so I'm a little concerned there, but still gonna be

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>exciting offense. Yeah, as it made. As it turns out,

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>it could be that your favorite TV commentators are not

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 1>meant to be general managers. That's a possibility. Let's go

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:14.839
<v Speaker 1>to the Packers. I've been updating you on the Packers

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 1>offensive line all preseason because this is a pretty big story.

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Elkin Jenkins and David botr is still not practicing with

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the team. They've been doing individual workouts for a couple

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 1>of weeks, but that's it. And when asked if they'd

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 1>be ready for Week one, head coach Matt Lafleur used

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:32.720
<v Speaker 1>the term hard to project and then said, I have

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:37.039
<v Speaker 1>no idea. So this offensive line continues to be in

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 1>flux for the Packers. What's the one thing people need

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:44.280
<v Speaker 1>to know about the Washington commander Scott so Brian Robinson

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>was shot in a carjacking last week. He was released

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>from the hospital and was at the team facility the

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 1>next day. They did put him on the n f

0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 1>n f I list, so he will miss the first

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 1>four weeks, but it does sound like Robinson and Mkissic

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 1>are going to share that role for a while. Yeah,

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Gibson and kiss Let's go to Brian and the Buffalo

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.599
<v Speaker 1>Bills starting slot. Who should be the starting slot? Wide

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 1>receiver Isaiah Mackenzie a little iffy for the opener next

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Thursday at the Rams within undisclosed injury, So if he

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 1>were to miss that game, Jamison Crowder would certainly benefit.

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:22.040
<v Speaker 1>But I like a rookie wide receiver Khalil Shakier a

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.839
<v Speaker 1>little bit more. We'll talk about him a little later

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.159
<v Speaker 1>in the show, but I think Mackenzie should be good

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 1>to go. I think a lot of these questionables were

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 1>seeing are really probable. But h and we'll have all

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>the Week one breakdowns next week on Fantasy Full more

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 1>weekly as we go through all the matchups for the Texans.

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 1>The biggest Fantasy story of the entire preseason is Damien Pierce.

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 1>And look, I those of you that actually listened to

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 1>the show going all the way back to the draft,

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.120
<v Speaker 1>you're way way ahead of the story. We loved him

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>here all. We loved him before the draft. We loved

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.280
<v Speaker 1>the landing spot in the draft, we loved him coming

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.599
<v Speaker 1>into the preseason, and we loved him even more after

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 1>we got to see him throughout the preseason games. That's

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.720
<v Speaker 1>a double peak double that that was like at least

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 1>a double peaking. Now he hasn't actually done anything yet.

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 1>He hasn't scored a fan oh no yet. So no,

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 1>we we put Hall of Fame jackets on in the

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 1>off season. That's what we do. We do. And but

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 1>here's what I can say. What's confidence is if you

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 1>had draft, if you had an early draft, and you

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 1>based just on what you're hearing in the show, you

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 1>got him many many rounds. Where he's going now, that

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 1>part is great. Now, So where are you taking Damian

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Pierce right now? In my draft? I'm seeing him go

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 1>roughly fourth round. So I saw him late third in

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the draft, and I was a little shocked by that, honestly,

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>But I've seen him mostly in the fourth recently. Let's

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 1>go to the Bucks. What's the one thing you need

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>to know about their off season? Mostly it's just the

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 1>offensive line. They're they're missing a couple of starters, they

0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 1>lost a couple of starters from last year. They they

0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:50.120
<v Speaker 1>have three injuries currently on on on that offensive line too,

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>are going to be gone for the season. So that's

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be a rough spot for them. Yeah, for sure.

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Everybody is very nervous about the Bucks right now. I

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 1>just got Mike Evans mid third round of a draft.

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean it just the bottoms fallen out of the Bucks.

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>From a point Cleveland Browns Brian the Browns claimed a

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 1>guy named Kellen Mond quarterback. Have heard of him off waivers? Yes,

0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>further cementing Jacoby percent as the starter. What is that

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>eleven eleven games games? Kellen Mond Brown? Let's go to

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 1>the Colts. Matt Ryan looked comfortable in his new offense,

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 1>should be a steady fantasy performer, and could put Michael

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Pittman on a big season. I'm a believer. The other

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.439
<v Speaker 1>starting wide receivers that have emerged over the course of

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the preseason for the Colts Alex Pierce, rookie wide receiver,

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna start, and the still at this moment healthy Paris

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Campbell ready to roll into regular season action, healthy running

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>from the slot. Paris Campbell. Alec Pierce is a nicely ber.

0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:59.079
<v Speaker 1>He was nicely ber a couple of weeks ago. You

0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:03.679
<v Speaker 1>guys are right, Detroit Lions Scott Reports are and have

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.120
<v Speaker 1>been really all off season, the Jameson Williams has been

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 1>ahead of schedule. Those those surfaced again in the last week.

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Remember it was the torn a c l in the

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 1>National Championship Game, so that was early February, So he's

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 1>only about seven months out. But those reports that thought

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.800
<v Speaker 1>he might be back by late October could happen. So

0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 1>if you're in home leagues this weeks, grabbing him at

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:23.880
<v Speaker 1>the end of your draft, stationing him on I are

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:25.840
<v Speaker 1>is not a not a bad play for such an

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.640
<v Speaker 1>explosive guy. I'm kind of upset they haven't featured him

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.760
<v Speaker 1>in Hard Knocks at all. I know he's not, but

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>his story is worth telling. The guy would have been

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 1>the first wide receiver taken most likely if he didn't

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 1>get injured. And I just think there's not a lot

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.959
<v Speaker 1>to tell past that, right, Yeah, except except for it,

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.160
<v Speaker 1>like he is on the field with like a lot

0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>of guys when they're injured, they they're off the field,

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe they're not even he's been on the field hanging

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 1>out with the players, like walking around, etcetera. Like he's

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.040
<v Speaker 1>with them. He wants to be part of it. So

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.880
<v Speaker 1>we didn't get to see whatever his rookie hazing bit

0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 1>would be and maybe we've seen a lot of them right,

0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.839
<v Speaker 1>but not his Jamison Williams, Brian when I when I

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>think of the Jets preseason, and the one thing that

0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I think is most is the big storyline here, Bruce

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:11.199
<v Speaker 1>Hall just not able to walk out of this preseason

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>as the sure number one started rolling into the season. No,

0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like Michael Carter. Michael Carter is the starter.

0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about those two a little later. When I

0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>think of the Jets, I think a west side story.

0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know you, I don't think the football team

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of a lot of the reboot wasn't bad,

0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.520
<v Speaker 1>but not as not as good as the original. I

0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:32.679
<v Speaker 1>only saw the original because they showed it in high school.

0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 1>It was one of those substitute teachers. But and talking

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:38.959
<v Speaker 1>about the Jets of the football team, Zack Wilson not

0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 1>officially ruled out for Week one so he could make

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 1>the start against the Ravens. But as you alluded to earlier,

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 1>we'll discuss that in further detail next week. For the Chiefs,

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.319
<v Speaker 1>what you need to know about their preseason, we gained

0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:53.880
<v Speaker 1>really very little clarity at wide receiver because all the

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.719
<v Speaker 1>presumed starters got hurt at some point. Juju got hurt,

0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 1>sky More got hurt, NBS got hurt. But it looks

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 1>like they're all going to be playing. Clyde Edwards A layers,

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.160
<v Speaker 1>you're starting running back, but after that we don't know.

0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, for what looks like Isaiah Pacheco

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>might be the guy than Ronald Jones made made the

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 1>team on a strong final preseason game. Jerick mckinnons a

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.440
<v Speaker 1>utility guy. I think the only safe play right now

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 1>appears to be Clyde Edwards. Let's go to the Seahawks.

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Scott uh Ken Walker did have it at hernia surgery.

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:26.120
<v Speaker 1>He's feeling better, but it doesn't sound like he's likely

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 1>for a week one, although Pete Carroll said he was

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 1>throwing the ball around at practice, which that's that's that's

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 1>something you want to hear about your running back. Uh.

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that's something about his rehab because normally p D.

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Sunshine says glowing things. Yeah, that's maybe. So he's saying

0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.400
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a quiet day. Yeah, yeah, that he's

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 1>not going to be ready. Bryan, what's the one thing

0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:54.040
<v Speaker 1>people need to know about the Broncos preseason. Uh, there's

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.959
<v Speaker 1>some hype around rookie tight end Greg Dulchich Bob, but

0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:58.959
<v Speaker 1>he was placed on I R with hamstring issues, so

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be out at least of four games. Meaning

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 1>it's um, I gonna call him Albert. Oh, Scott, you'll

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.240
<v Speaker 1>correct me if I get this wrong. I was gonna

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.599
<v Speaker 1>try it at least, but you're really you are the

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:16.839
<v Speaker 1>pronounce on this show. It's Albert season. You can't really

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:20.439
<v Speaker 1>just get that on the button. We don't need it,

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't need I'll just stop here every week. Problem.

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.559
<v Speaker 1>I need the reps here for the next day for

0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the Rams. The thing you need to know from their preseason.

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:33.679
<v Speaker 1>After missing most really almost really the entire preseason with

0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 1>unspecified injuries, Cam Akers Darryl Henderson returned to practice this Um,

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 1>we'll keep an eye on backup runner Kyron Williams as well. Um,

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:46.199
<v Speaker 1>if you're skeptical about Acres and his recovery, and you're

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 1>skeptical about Henderson just because he didn't really shine last

0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 1>a year when he had the chance, maybe Williams is

0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 1>a factor at some point this year. But UM, we

0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't really gain a ton of clarity on on where

0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Acres is. And we're really no clarity whatsoever Whereakers is

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 1>in his return. Let's go to the Eagles Brian Scott

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Miles Sanders was practicing, back, practicing, finally, finally his backpracticing. Uh.

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.920
<v Speaker 1>And they claimed Trace Sermon off waivers, which is of

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.959
<v Speaker 1>note because forty Niners GM John Lynch said Sermon was

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.520
<v Speaker 1>one of their best players in cap before he caught.

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Don't listen to That's exactly what I put. Never believe,

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.800
<v Speaker 1>John Lynch. At this point, they also acquired in book

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:32.679
<v Speaker 1>from the Saints. The Saints traded Chauncey Gardner Johnson Chauncey

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Gardner Johnson punch Face in late draft pick swaps, and

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 1>they also traded return man Jalen Reagor to the Vikings.

0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 1>A lot of moves for the Eagles in the last

0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.200
<v Speaker 1>week here for sure. And I love the Chauncey Gardner

0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.719
<v Speaker 1>Johnson pick up. Yes, yes, I call him punch Face

0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 1>because he makes wide receivers want him to want to

0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.080
<v Speaker 1>punch him in the face. It's been multiple wide receivers

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.240
<v Speaker 1>from multiple teams now may be good for even his

0:13:56.320 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 1>own team. If I recall once Miami Dolphins Brian uh

0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Sony Walkman was released or cut, which makes me love

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.839
<v Speaker 1>Chase Edmunds even more. He's still going way too low

0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion. And also there was some concern about

0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Waddle's availability for one, but he's been back at

0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>practice sands compression sleeve on legs, so he should be

0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.080
<v Speaker 1>good to go. But again, well, we'll talk about that

0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.480
<v Speaker 1>more next week when we break down all the matchups.

0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:25.280
<v Speaker 1>The Viking starters did not play in the preseason. The

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:29.960
<v Speaker 1>backup running back running back spot is very unsettled. For

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 1>the first time in a long time. The preseason's best

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 1>runner was fifth round rookie Tie Chandler, followed by Kena

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 1>wong Wu and Alexander Madison has been the subject of

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 1>trade speculation, and it's not clear that he's going to

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 1>get any more work than these other guys are. The

0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:50.160
<v Speaker 1>public has not caught up to that Addison go as

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the Madison we had last That is a mistake. There

0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:57.000
<v Speaker 1>is a lot of risk on assuming that Alexander Madison

0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 1>is going to get much of any work in any game,

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 1>and that he would get the majority of carries even

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 1>if something happened to Dalvin Cook Scott. Let's go to

0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the Dallas Cowboys. What's the one thing they need to

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.480
<v Speaker 1>know about their preseason? Uh, yeah, we'll go back to

0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 1>the loss of Tyron Smith, who's gonna miss most of

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.080
<v Speaker 1>the season, But now they're only expecting him to miss

0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.720
<v Speaker 1>maybe half the season or so. They're they're expecting him

0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 1>back sooner than we originally thought. Uh, first rounder Tyler

0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Smith is going to take his place at left tackle,

0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:27.160
<v Speaker 1>which is a place where you always want to Yeah. Great, perfect.

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.800
<v Speaker 1>So if you can't believe John Lynch, how much can

0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:35.920
<v Speaker 1>you believe with Jerry Jones? Jerry Jones. Let's go to

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:40.520
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots. The Pats released rookie running back Kevin Harris,

0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.400
<v Speaker 1>who they took in the sixth round, So they're gonna

0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 1>go with rookie running back Pierre Strong Junior, who they

0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:47.920
<v Speaker 1>took in the fourth round. Is our RB three, but

0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:51.680
<v Speaker 1>he's well behind Romandre Stevenson and Damien Harris, who will

0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 1>also break down a little more time. Montgomery got injured

0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 1>and that's going to open up the door for Romandri

0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Stevenson too in these first few weeks to know what

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.320
<v Speaker 1>he can do as a pass catcher. I just refused

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:06.440
<v Speaker 1>to acknowledge time on Gummery's existence anymore. Even I'm tired

0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 1>of I saw be reported for New England. Say a

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.520
<v Speaker 1>New England b reporters say today he wouldn't be shocked

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 1>if Stevenson leap frogs Harris and I'm like, welcome to

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 1>what we've all been talking about for a month. Week

0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:22.080
<v Speaker 1>last team, for this segment, the thing you need to

0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.680
<v Speaker 1>know about the Saints with the loss of elite left

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.640
<v Speaker 1>tackle Tarrant I'm armstead. In the off season, the Saints

0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:31.560
<v Speaker 1>put a first rounder into his replacement, Trevor Penning, but

0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 1>now he's out and definitely after getting foot surgery, and

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the Saints are down to James First at left tackle

0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:42.280
<v Speaker 1>if he can play through his own foot injury. Michael

0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Thomas has looked good when healthy, but he's on week

0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:46.560
<v Speaker 1>two of a hamstring injury. We're gonna watch his status

0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 1>for Week one, which is currently unclear. So a lot

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:52.640
<v Speaker 1>of injury is used for the Saints coming off a

0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:54.920
<v Speaker 1>season which they had a lot of injury issues. When

0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.360
<v Speaker 1>we come back, we will continue to recap the one

0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.760
<v Speaker 1>thing you need to know about every team's preseason and

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:02.400
<v Speaker 1>give you the resolution to some of the key training

0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:20.240
<v Speaker 1>camp battles from around the league. Welcome back Fantasy Football

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.520
<v Speaker 1>My cheat sheet available for free at Guillotine leagues dot com.

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.960
<v Speaker 1>It's also the freshest, funnest way to play fantasy football,

0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.720
<v Speaker 1>perfect for like a second league, third league because the

0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 1>format is so unique. You start with eighteen teams because

0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.960
<v Speaker 1>there's eighteen weeks in the season and there's no head

0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.359
<v Speaker 1>to head. Instead, every week the low scoring team gets

0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.760
<v Speaker 1>chopped and all their players go to the waiver wire,

0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:48.440
<v Speaker 1>where pandemonium breaks out. Oh you didn't say in sues

0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:50.480
<v Speaker 1>you want with breaks out? The sus is white? Better

0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.359
<v Speaker 1>see better? I change the cadence. What's wrong with me?

0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I gotta keep it fresh. I guess uh. Tons of strategy,

0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.639
<v Speaker 1>tons of different ways of thinking about how to craft

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.440
<v Speaker 1>your team and then how to spend your money through

0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.400
<v Speaker 1>the season. You're playing to not finish last in every week,

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.920
<v Speaker 1>which is a very different strategy than planning to finish first.

0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.480
<v Speaker 1>If you ain't last year first, That is our motto

0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.800
<v Speaker 1>here at guilloteae leagues dot com. Scott Fish, Brian Johnson,

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Scott Let's go to the one thing we didn't need

0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 1>to know about the Giants preseason. Yeah, basically all of

0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.119
<v Speaker 1>their wide receivers have been injured most of the preseason.

0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Darius Tony is still dealing with the two injuries. Um

0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.919
<v Speaker 1>Sterling Shepard just came back based coming back from Achilles.

0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:35.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go into my Week one matchups here

0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:37.640
<v Speaker 1>and say one, Dale Robinson is probably your starting slot

0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:39.960
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver week one against the Titans, team who was

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:45.560
<v Speaker 1>dead last against slot right receivers last year. So that

0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 1>your take on flat keep that in your in your

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.440
<v Speaker 1>noodle there or whatever. A right Titans. Oh, by the way,

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.639
<v Speaker 1>their new head coach of the Bills, by Table, he

0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:57.639
<v Speaker 1>fed the slot just more than most teams to last year.

0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.320
<v Speaker 1>That's your gone. It is decided, alright, You're you're already

0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:04.440
<v Speaker 1>setting up that next week's show. Brian, What is the

0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:06.800
<v Speaker 1>one thing people need to know about the Titans preseason? Um,

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:10.480
<v Speaker 1>it looks like almost every team in the NFL outside

0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:13.320
<v Speaker 1>of Tennessee made a mistake passing on Malik Willis. I

0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:16.040
<v Speaker 1>know it's preseason, but it certainly looks like his game

0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.920
<v Speaker 1>is going to translate to the NFL. He's not gonna

0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:22.800
<v Speaker 1>usur Ryan Tannehill just yet. But my question I'll post

0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:25.920
<v Speaker 1>you guys real quick is Malik Willis. Of course, in

0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:29.520
<v Speaker 1>dynasty league's people are drafting him statue, but in any

0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:33.399
<v Speaker 1>kind of redraft super flex format, I'm not seeing him

0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:37.520
<v Speaker 1>get are you. I'm in a keeper league only keep

0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:39.199
<v Speaker 1>two took him in the last round. It's a two

0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:43.239
<v Speaker 1>quarterback league, and the redraft I have not seen him

0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:45.920
<v Speaker 1>get picked either. But he's looking like he's going to

0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:48.000
<v Speaker 1>be something special. We might have to wait a little bit,

0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.320
<v Speaker 1>of course, but uh that's the only the only real

0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:53.239
<v Speaker 1>news at a Tennessee for the Steelers. Best story from

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:56.359
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers preseason was the eye popping catches made by

0:19:56.480 --> 0:20:00.280
<v Speaker 1>rookie George Pickens, who looks very good. Sad Trombones, You're

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:03.919
<v Speaker 1>expected starter, hold on where I'm off my game right now?

0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know he's the starter. I feel like that

0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:11.040
<v Speaker 1>should have been a happy shot. But well, yeah, for him,

0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:13.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe not fantasy owners. Canny Pickett look good enough that

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:17.200
<v Speaker 1>the leash here probably pretty short. Mr Whisky, you know

0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Week Willis would look pretty good in the Steelers. Kenny

0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Picketts look pretty good in his Steelers uniform. I'll take

0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Week Willis all Day. Let's go to the Falcons. Uh

0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:30.720
<v Speaker 1>really not a lot here. I mean Anthony Ferler got cut,

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Quadrea Alston got cut. I don't know. I guess for

0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:37.919
<v Speaker 1>the for the full preseason. Basically, it's that Drake London

0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:40.120
<v Speaker 1>and Kyle Pitts look like they're going to be most

0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:43.200
<v Speaker 1>of that offense, and they've both just made great plays

0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:45.560
<v Speaker 1>in both camp and in preseason games. Let's go to

0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:50.720
<v Speaker 1>the Bengals. Brian uh te Higgins currently questionable for Week one.

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:53.520
<v Speaker 1>He had offseason shoulder injury, but I think it's you know,

0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:56.879
<v Speaker 1>they's been watching his workload throughout the preseason. You should

0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:58.399
<v Speaker 1>be good to go, but just keep an eye on

0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Mr TI Mr T. For the forty nine Ers, Jimmy

0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Garoppolo resigned to a backup deal. More on Garoppolo later

0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:08.600
<v Speaker 1>in the show, Andrey Lance Trey Sermon got cut. Went

0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:11.480
<v Speaker 1>to the Eagles. The running back packing order looks like

0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Elijah Mitchell into Jeff Wilson, probably into Tyrean Davis Price TDP.

0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:21.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that's going to be the case there, So

0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:24.440
<v Speaker 1>uh Mitchell going pretty late and Jeff Wilson going really

0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:26.399
<v Speaker 1>late in drafts. For those that may be inclined to

0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:28.920
<v Speaker 1>want to get on board with them. Let's go to

0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:33.359
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals next, Scott. You know ben you know, Benjamin,

0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.119
<v Speaker 1>as we mentioned last week, did end up securing that

0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:39.480
<v Speaker 1>RB two role that Chase Edmund's role from last year,

0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:42.640
<v Speaker 1>so it might be fantasy viable. Also, they do expect

0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:45.720
<v Speaker 1>zach Ertz and Rondale Moore, who have been dealing with injuries,

0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:48.080
<v Speaker 1>back for Week one, but you might want to prepare

0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:51.800
<v Speaker 1>other options anyway. Okay, that has That's been a shocking

0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:53.800
<v Speaker 1>move for you know, Benjamin, and for his sake, I

0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:56.479
<v Speaker 1>hope it holds that way. Jaguars, Brian, what's the one

0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:58.840
<v Speaker 1>thing we need to know about their preseason? Well, Scott

0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:01.119
<v Speaker 1>mentioned this when he was talking about the Panthers um.

0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 1>The Jags traded away La Chenult to uh Channel to Carolina,

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:11.359
<v Speaker 1>which probably does not bode well for terrorists marshall over Carolina.

0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:13.800
<v Speaker 1>But Jaguars, I don't know. They're still kind of like

0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:17.240
<v Speaker 1>James Robinson watch going on. But I think the biggest

0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:19.879
<v Speaker 1>story for me is Travis Aten looks fully healthy. He

0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:23.000
<v Speaker 1>does he running hard. I thought, you know what we

0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:25.520
<v Speaker 1>saw of him, he looks like that injury that Liz

0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Frank is totally in the Revere mirror. The fantasy has

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:29.800
<v Speaker 1>been almost an auto for me in the late third.

0:22:30.000 --> 0:22:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Sure wants him to be the RB one or get

0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:34.800
<v Speaker 1>the lion's share of the touches, so we'll just have

0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:36.800
<v Speaker 1>to see what happens. But they cut the Commanders in

0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:40.360
<v Speaker 1>week one. I'm loving basically every Jaguar the week one

0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:45.119
<v Speaker 1>for the Ravens. Rookie tight end Isaiah likely splashed obvious

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:47.480
<v Speaker 1>talent and is expected to find his way into the

0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:50.919
<v Speaker 1>field at some point this year if they effectively use

0:22:51.000 --> 0:22:54.520
<v Speaker 1>him as a wide receiver. There's no competition really for

0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:56.680
<v Speaker 1>him that stands in the way of him getting reps,

0:22:56.720 --> 0:22:58.600
<v Speaker 1>and it's just a matter of when you think he's

0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:03.440
<v Speaker 1>better than Devin Dover. I do, but it's likely. I

0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:05.800
<v Speaker 1>think it is likely, and I don't think he's as

0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:08.439
<v Speaker 1>deep of a stash as something I've been. I've been

0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:11.359
<v Speaker 1>taking him in lenks just for that. J K. Dobbins

0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:13.640
<v Speaker 1>insists his leg is fine. Uh and by the way,

0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:17.639
<v Speaker 1>love him battling against what he believes are erroneous media

0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:21.080
<v Speaker 1>reports on Twitter, which is great. Um. His status for

0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Week one at this point unclear. Will know more about

0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:27.000
<v Speaker 1>j K. Dobbins next week. UH. Journeyman Mike Davis Kenyan

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:30.959
<v Speaker 1>Drake likely to see action in the opener as well. Scott,

0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:35.359
<v Speaker 1>your final UH preseason report comes from Chicago. Yeah, the

0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Bears offensive line has really been the story of this

0:23:37.600 --> 0:23:40.840
<v Speaker 1>team this this preseason. Every game they have looked absolutely

0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:44.800
<v Speaker 1>terrible with Justin Fields getting hit constantly. The Bears went

0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:47.639
<v Speaker 1>out and claimed Alex Leatherwood, who we mentioned earlier, former

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:51.520
<v Speaker 1>first round pick just last year, UH, to to to

0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:55.199
<v Speaker 1>try to help that offensive line. And they're trying out uh,

0:23:55.320 --> 0:24:00.800
<v Speaker 1>former pro bowler Collegio Summily. So Yeah, it's like gotta

0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:03.399
<v Speaker 1>be early thirties by now four or something like that.

0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:07.960
<v Speaker 1>But former ROA bowler. I believe he blew out a

0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:12.440
<v Speaker 1>knee or maybe both knees back about three years ago. Maybe. Um.

0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:15.280
<v Speaker 1>So at least they're trying. They realize their issue and

0:24:15.280 --> 0:24:17.960
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to fix it somehow. Yeah, it's uh, it's

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:20.399
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a long road there. Johnson Fields played well

0:24:20.400 --> 0:24:22.960
<v Speaker 1>in that final preseason game, and that's a glimmer of

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:26.760
<v Speaker 1>hope for them. That's connected on a touchdown to Cole comment.

0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:31.359
<v Speaker 1>Let's hope that continued. Chargers Brian our last team is

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:36.200
<v Speaker 1>our last preseason. Report mentioned earlier that Sony Walkman Michelle

0:24:36.600 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 1>was cut by the Dolphins. Well, he signed with the Chargers,

0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:42.760
<v Speaker 1>which probably doesn't bode too well for Joshua Kelly and

0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:47.160
<v Speaker 1>especially Isaiah Spiller. Sony Walkman is no threat to anybody.

0:24:47.320 --> 0:24:49.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, no, God, No, I'm just worried about

0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Isaiah Spiller. I thought he'd be a lock to be

0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the backup running back. That's a legitimate observation is that

0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:57.840
<v Speaker 1>he couldn't go win the number two, or at least

0:24:57.880 --> 0:25:00.520
<v Speaker 1>he seemed like the obvious handcuff, not even handcuff, just

0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:03.440
<v Speaker 1>an RB two with you know, he was going to

0:25:03.480 --> 0:25:05.560
<v Speaker 1>contribute weekend, week out, and that's not looking like the

0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:09.560
<v Speaker 1>case right now. I've had increasing confidence in Austin Ekeler

0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:14.480
<v Speaker 1>getting maintaining the sizeable workload he had last year as

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:17.200
<v Speaker 1>this preseason has gone on, because it doesn't feel like

0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:19.399
<v Speaker 1>anybody's really stepped up to take reps away from him.

0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Michelle he is not very good, but oh he's great

0:25:23.720 --> 0:25:26.000
<v Speaker 1>in past protection. So that's gonna put him on the field,

0:25:26.040 --> 0:25:28.720
<v Speaker 1>which I just I just hate not talking about. But

0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:32.160
<v Speaker 1>for for Isaiah Spiller's I'm just worried about Isaiah Spiller.

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:38.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm on this guy. I'm like, I'm bad, all right. Next,

0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:42.160
<v Speaker 1>we in our first preseason show. Now, four full shows ago,

0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:46.200
<v Speaker 1>we're in our fifth preseason show. Now we identified the

0:25:46.240 --> 0:25:48.600
<v Speaker 1>training camp battles we were going to watch. Now, it's

0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:51.560
<v Speaker 1>only fair that with training camps over, we go back,

0:25:51.720 --> 0:25:54.680
<v Speaker 1>circle back. Tell you who won these battles. Brian, let's

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:56.560
<v Speaker 1>begin with you. What was the first training camp battle

0:25:56.600 --> 0:26:00.119
<v Speaker 1>resolution you've got um, Well, these were mats, but they

0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:01.920
<v Speaker 1>were he did get them right. I'll give him credit

0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:03.600
<v Speaker 1>for that. And in terms of they were battles, but

0:26:03.640 --> 0:26:07.600
<v Speaker 1>it was Atlanta's starting running back between Corderold Patterson, Tyler

0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:10.840
<v Speaker 1>is it. I'm going to the It's not al geyer L.

0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:14.480
<v Speaker 1>It's like the Lgars because from Casino. By the way,

0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:18.320
<v Speaker 1>have you seen Casino yet? You admitted him? You got

0:26:18.440 --> 0:26:24.040
<v Speaker 1>to watch Casino tonight. But anyway, that's a full night.

0:26:24.240 --> 0:26:26.359
<v Speaker 1>That's not that's not a short movie. That was like

0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:31.720
<v Speaker 1>a VHS double. It was double VHS tapes. If you've

0:26:31.760 --> 0:26:34.680
<v Speaker 1>got sealed or VHS tapes that those are selling for

0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:39.639
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of dollars. I've got a born born on the

0:26:39.680 --> 0:26:41.800
<v Speaker 1>fourth of keeping in the raft, Keep it in the

0:26:42.720 --> 0:26:44.720
<v Speaker 1>who did guest? And I don't know who the nut

0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:47.000
<v Speaker 1>jobs are that one vhs, it'll be d d ds.

0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:49.280
<v Speaker 1>It'll be DVDs soon too, So if you got the

0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:52.200
<v Speaker 1>DVD sealed, hold onto him. Laser discs probably coming first.

0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:57.639
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, Patterson's the start. The great by Buddy had one.

0:26:57.680 --> 0:26:59.639
<v Speaker 1>It was it was the place to be every weekend.

0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:03.240
<v Speaker 1>He basic instinct. He was easy to get to the movie. Anyway,

0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Football Patterson is still technically the start of it. Tyler

0:27:08.960 --> 0:27:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Alger looks very good, so he's gonna take some significant

0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:15.320
<v Speaker 1>He will as well. But I just want to talk

0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:17.160
<v Speaker 1>about Kyle Pitts and talk about the Falcons. But anyway,

0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:20.560
<v Speaker 1>enough about that, Scott, your training camp battle resolution. Yeah,

0:27:20.640 --> 0:27:23.040
<v Speaker 1>so the first one I went over last last time

0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:26.600
<v Speaker 1>we went over this was Melvin Gordon versus Javonte Williams

0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:29.440
<v Speaker 1>on the Broncos. I don't know that we got much

0:27:29.560 --> 0:27:33.600
<v Speaker 1>clarity at all. Week think the clarity is it's still split. Yeah,

0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:38.159
<v Speaker 1>at the time we were talking about one reports one

0:27:38.280 --> 0:27:42.080
<v Speaker 1>is seventy. We did get some clarity that Gordon said,

0:27:42.280 --> 0:27:45.200
<v Speaker 1>in fact that the Broncos want Javonte to be the guy,

0:27:45.320 --> 0:27:47.600
<v Speaker 1>so I feel like he's going to get more opportunity.

0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:50.320
<v Speaker 1>The split is gonna go his way. Is it worth

0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the ADP difference? I don't know. We may talk about

0:27:53.280 --> 0:27:55.399
<v Speaker 1>find out later in this show. I was trying to

0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:59.960
<v Speaker 1>tease it. All right, Bryan, your next training camp battle resolution,

0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna skip over the starting Carolina quarterback because we

0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:05.720
<v Speaker 1>all know what happened there, um and go to you.

0:28:05.840 --> 0:28:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay's wide receiver one. It was between Alan Lazard,

0:28:08.640 --> 0:28:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Sammy Watkins, rookie Christian Watson rookie uh Dubbs. Recently, Matt

0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Lafour head coach Matt Lafour said this about his wide

0:28:18.480 --> 0:28:22.120
<v Speaker 1>receivers quote, I don't think anybody's clear cut in front

0:28:22.200 --> 0:28:24.480
<v Speaker 1>of the other guy. I think it's gonna be very much.

0:28:24.800 --> 0:28:27.640
<v Speaker 1>The ball's gonna get spread around, and we're gonna try

0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:31.960
<v Speaker 1>to feature different guys in different spots. Gross, So there's

0:28:32.000 --> 0:28:35.680
<v Speaker 1>no resolution. Fantasy owners don't ever want to hear that

0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:38.280
<v Speaker 1>that they're gonna go hot hand on any position, including

0:28:38.320 --> 0:28:42.280
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver. But if you're near the stripe, you're throwing

0:28:42.320 --> 0:28:44.840
<v Speaker 1>to the six ft five Alans. That's the thing I

0:28:44.880 --> 0:28:47.920
<v Speaker 1>feel most confident about is the touchdowns coming for Alan

0:28:48.000 --> 0:28:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Lazart scored eight touchdowns, with Davante Adams hogging most you know,

0:28:52.360 --> 0:28:55.800
<v Speaker 1>mostly attention, and Romeo Dubbs of course, of course, has

0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:58.440
<v Speaker 1>been the splashy name in camp. But I'm most intrigued

0:28:58.480 --> 0:29:01.400
<v Speaker 1>by Watson, who was the wide receiver they drafted and

0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:03.440
<v Speaker 1>he missed a lot of training camp with injury. His

0:29:03.520 --> 0:29:05.480
<v Speaker 1>ADP has fallen off, so he's the guy. I've kind

0:29:05.480 --> 0:29:08.360
<v Speaker 1>of been buying the dip on Scott your next training

0:29:08.400 --> 0:29:11.440
<v Speaker 1>camp resolution over to New England Patriots, where I feel

0:29:11.480 --> 0:29:13.840
<v Speaker 1>like we're in a similar spot as the Denver Broncos,

0:29:13.920 --> 0:29:17.360
<v Speaker 1>where we're talking about Romandre Stephenson and Damien Harris. Since

0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:20.080
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of camp, Romondre Stephenson has been working on

0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:22.600
<v Speaker 1>pass catching pass blocking. It's been a lot of talk.

0:29:23.080 --> 0:29:26.440
<v Speaker 1>James White retired, they got rid of j J. Taylor. Um,

0:29:27.440 --> 0:29:29.760
<v Speaker 1>it really feels and time my comery is now injured,

0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:32.000
<v Speaker 1>so it feels like that role, that pass catching role

0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:36.360
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be Stevenson. And Beat reports that as frequently

0:29:36.480 --> 0:29:39.200
<v Speaker 1>as the end of this week are stating that Stevenson

0:29:39.280 --> 0:29:41.760
<v Speaker 1>could leap frog Harris, and I'm buying it. I believe it.

0:29:42.080 --> 0:29:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I hope you're right. Although done nothing, has done nothing wrong.

0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:49.480
<v Speaker 1>He's he has good back, scored fifteen touchdowns last year,

0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:55.440
<v Speaker 1>and we're like on this show in the preseason last year.

0:29:56.720 --> 0:29:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I like that. I like that we called exactly fifteen

0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:06.800
<v Speaker 1>too exact, Scott, Sorry, Brian, No, we are Scott, Brian, Brian,

0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:10.440
<v Speaker 1>your next trading camp resolution, uh Giants wide receiver one

0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:14.800
<v Speaker 1>was gonna be Kenny Golladay, Tony, maybe Stirling Shepherd. It's

0:30:14.960 --> 0:30:18.240
<v Speaker 1>certainly not gonna be Kenny Golladay, who was awful. That

0:30:18.360 --> 0:30:24.240
<v Speaker 1>was like Dave Gettleman's one last just the parting, the

0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:28.040
<v Speaker 1>parting contract to destroy his team right, absolute worst GM

0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:30.520
<v Speaker 1>of all time, and that includes the aforementioned Jerry Jones.

0:30:30.520 --> 0:30:32.640
<v Speaker 1>So it looks like it's gonna be Darius Tony as

0:30:32.680 --> 0:30:35.320
<v Speaker 1>New York's top wide receiver. But he's already on the

0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:37.400
<v Speaker 1>injury report for Week one with a leg injury. But

0:30:37.760 --> 0:30:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's more of a probable than questionable.

0:30:40.520 --> 0:30:43.840
<v Speaker 1>But as Scott said, Wan Dale Robinson, very intriguing name

0:30:44.080 --> 0:30:46.080
<v Speaker 1>out there that you should probably scooping up in the

0:30:46.200 --> 0:30:48.480
<v Speaker 1>later rounds of your draft. Scott, talk to me about

0:30:48.680 --> 0:30:52.360
<v Speaker 1>your next training camp. Yeah, this this one is pretty easy.

0:30:52.600 --> 0:30:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Is the Pittsburgh Steelers QB position. We went in a

0:30:55.520 --> 0:30:58.240
<v Speaker 1>little curious what's gonna happen between Robinsky in their first

0:30:58.360 --> 0:31:02.120
<v Speaker 1>round pick Kenny get seems like Trabisky won the battle,

0:31:02.200 --> 0:31:05.560
<v Speaker 1>but honestly, pick It started out rough, but the he

0:31:05.760 --> 0:31:09.520
<v Speaker 1>ended the preseason looking good, making fine plays, making some drives.

0:31:10.040 --> 0:31:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I I would be shocked if pick It does not

0:31:12.320 --> 0:31:14.520
<v Speaker 1>get some run late in the season, Brian, your next

0:31:14.560 --> 0:31:18.520
<v Speaker 1>training camp battle resolution Philly RB one, Miles Sanders, Kenneth

0:31:18.560 --> 0:31:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Gainwell of Boston Scott. It looked like Miles Sanders was

0:31:22.160 --> 0:31:24.840
<v Speaker 1>clinging to that role, but he's unlikely, unlikey to play

0:31:24.880 --> 0:31:27.800
<v Speaker 1>in the opener against I think he's gonna is he

0:31:27.840 --> 0:31:29.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna go with the hamstring injury. That's how it's shaping up.

0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:32.360
<v Speaker 1>He was starting to practice. He is the starter, but

0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:34.239
<v Speaker 1>by no means is he a bell cow at all.

0:31:34.320 --> 0:31:36.320
<v Speaker 1>This seems like it's gonna be almost like a three

0:31:36.360 --> 0:31:38.840
<v Speaker 1>man rotation Boston Scott for those that by the way,

0:31:38.880 --> 0:31:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Boston Scott is a character I need on the show.

0:31:41.120 --> 0:31:43.360
<v Speaker 1>You need to work on your bas you and Matt

0:31:43.600 --> 0:31:47.200
<v Speaker 1>and everybody. No, Tessa, I can help you out with

0:31:47.320 --> 0:31:49.920
<v Speaker 1>this would be so good, A better than Colin mccockney.

0:31:49.960 --> 0:31:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I next to mccockney. I never want to see that

0:31:54.200 --> 0:31:57.400
<v Speaker 1>guy again. But anyway, UM, I still like gainwell out

0:31:57.440 --> 0:32:00.440
<v Speaker 1>of these three guys in my own depth chart, but

0:32:00.760 --> 0:32:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I just say avoid I watch Jalen Hurts yea and

0:32:07.280 --> 0:32:10.480
<v Speaker 1>the rushing touchdowns and rushing yards I want. I mean

0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Scott training camp battle resolutions. Uh. The next one we

0:32:14.840 --> 0:32:17.560
<v Speaker 1>went over and my side anyway was the Chief's wide

0:32:17.600 --> 0:32:20.160
<v Speaker 1>receiver one and wide receiver two roles. And honestly, I

0:32:20.320 --> 0:32:22.720
<v Speaker 1>feel like, at least from what I've read what I've

0:32:22.800 --> 0:32:26.280
<v Speaker 1>seen that it's pretty much all indications are Juju is

0:32:26.640 --> 0:32:29.600
<v Speaker 1>taking that wide receiver one and it's gonna be a

0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:33.320
<v Speaker 1>mess behind him, a mess of you don't know what

0:32:33.440 --> 0:32:35.960
<v Speaker 1>to do with fantasy. You don't. It's gonna be best

0:32:36.000 --> 0:32:40.400
<v Speaker 1>ball type ceiling weeks at best, so do just Schuster

0:32:40.480 --> 0:32:42.960
<v Speaker 1>is actually an interesting one for me because I feel

0:32:43.000 --> 0:32:45.960
<v Speaker 1>like he could be a hundred plus target guy, Brian,

0:32:46.240 --> 0:32:48.480
<v Speaker 1>let's go to your next training camp resolution. I'm going

0:32:48.520 --> 0:32:50.480
<v Speaker 1>to do a two for here, two for one because

0:32:50.480 --> 0:32:54.320
<v Speaker 1>they're both regarding the Seahawks. Gino Smith beat out Drew Lock.

0:32:54.400 --> 0:32:58.120
<v Speaker 1>It's more like Drew Lock beat out himself and and

0:32:58.160 --> 0:33:00.240
<v Speaker 1>then for the starting running back job was a shot

0:33:00.280 --> 0:33:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Penny and Kenneth Walker. But Walker has missed most of

0:33:03.160 --> 0:33:05.320
<v Speaker 1>the preseason with this herning issue, might not go in

0:33:05.360 --> 0:33:07.640
<v Speaker 1>week one, so it looks like it's shot. Penny is

0:33:07.640 --> 0:33:10.160
<v Speaker 1>a starting running back. We'll see how long he lasts.

0:33:10.200 --> 0:33:14.320
<v Speaker 1>We we've mentioned him before. Travis Homer. Interesting, Travis Homer

0:33:14.360 --> 0:33:16.480
<v Speaker 1>looked better than I'm telling you. He looked eye test.

0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:18.960
<v Speaker 1>He looked better than any of the other Seattle running backs.

0:33:19.000 --> 0:33:21.280
<v Speaker 1>It may not amount to anything, but he had some

0:33:21.520 --> 0:33:24.400
<v Speaker 1>eye popping moments in the preseason, like in the past

0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:27.440
<v Speaker 1>game and with Walker out, and he'll get some worth

0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:30.600
<v Speaker 1>worth the spot in deeper, deeper weeks. Scott, let's do

0:33:31.040 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 1>one last training camp battle right here. Okay, let's go

0:33:33.680 --> 0:33:35.719
<v Speaker 1>over to the Bills the ruin back position. We were

0:33:35.760 --> 0:33:38.960
<v Speaker 1>talking Singlitary Cooking. We kind of talked Moss. It sounds

0:33:39.000 --> 0:33:42.000
<v Speaker 1>like Moss had the best offseason ever, putting a ton

0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:46.400
<v Speaker 1>of work after mentally dealing with those healthy scratches last year. Uh,

0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and he's been talked up by everyone in Buffalo media,

0:33:49.080 --> 0:33:52.440
<v Speaker 1>so he's gonna he basically more than he basically just

0:33:52.600 --> 0:33:54.680
<v Speaker 1>muddied that backfield more than we like. Yeah, I think

0:33:54.720 --> 0:33:58.280
<v Speaker 1>you're probably right, Brian. Your last training camp battle, the

0:33:58.400 --> 0:34:01.880
<v Speaker 1>last one was for Ampa Bay's wide receiver three between

0:34:01.960 --> 0:34:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Julio Jones and Russell Gauge. I wouldn't see say either

0:34:04.760 --> 0:34:07.960
<v Speaker 1>has won this job because they're very different players, and

0:34:08.040 --> 0:34:10.359
<v Speaker 1>it looks like Julio is going to they play very

0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:12.719
<v Speaker 1>different roles out of the wide receiver spot. Julio looks

0:34:12.760 --> 0:34:15.480
<v Speaker 1>like more of a tight end really kind of the

0:34:15.600 --> 0:34:19.120
<v Speaker 1>role he'll play, and the tight end they do. They

0:34:19.160 --> 0:34:22.280
<v Speaker 1>got multiple openings almost and Tampa runs three wide receiver

0:34:22.360 --> 0:34:23.719
<v Speaker 1>sets a lot, so I think they're both going to

0:34:23.800 --> 0:34:26.719
<v Speaker 1>see the field plenty. So let's just call that one

0:34:26.840 --> 0:34:30.120
<v Speaker 1>a draw. They're they're both lead. Both certainly rosterable. There

0:34:30.160 --> 0:34:32.840
<v Speaker 1>you have at the training camp at battle resolutions that

0:34:33.000 --> 0:34:36.280
<v Speaker 1>you care about when we come back. Three tough questions

0:34:36.400 --> 0:34:40.680
<v Speaker 1>for our panel of experts, including what to do with

0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Trey Lance. Now we'll talk about that when we come back.

0:34:44.920 --> 0:35:04.640
<v Speaker 1>It's Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back to the show. It's

0:35:04.680 --> 0:35:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Jarchi and Scott Fish and Brian

0:35:07.880 --> 0:35:11.319
<v Speaker 1>Johnson with you. This is a game we call three

0:35:11.640 --> 0:35:15.759
<v Speaker 1>tough questions. Tough question number one. With the forty nine

0:35:15.800 --> 0:35:19.319
<v Speaker 1>years decision to keep Jimmy Garoppolo, what is the appropriate

0:35:19.520 --> 0:35:24.680
<v Speaker 1>level of concern for those drafting tray Lance? Is it none?

0:35:25.920 --> 0:35:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Some or a bowl loosening level of existential dread? Scott? None,

0:35:32.719 --> 0:35:34.960
<v Speaker 1>not even a little this. I don't even know that

0:35:35.080 --> 0:35:37.800
<v Speaker 1>this question deserves the response. I'm actually disappointed that you

0:35:37.920 --> 0:35:41.040
<v Speaker 1>put this as a question. I think we're wasting people's

0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:43.880
<v Speaker 1>time here. They simply brought him in or bought time

0:35:44.000 --> 0:35:47.360
<v Speaker 1>to trade him. They made the contract tradeable if Jimmy

0:35:47.480 --> 0:35:49.800
<v Speaker 1>approves it, because he got the no trade cross clause.

0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:52.320
<v Speaker 1>They but they brought the financial burden down so that

0:35:52.440 --> 0:35:54.799
<v Speaker 1>they could trade him, and he's a good backup if

0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:59.080
<v Speaker 1>they can't. That's all it is. It's nothing for tray Lance, Okay, Brian.

0:35:59.760 --> 0:36:02.200
<v Speaker 1>With a forty niners decision to keep Jimmy Garoppolo, what

0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:05.360
<v Speaker 1>is the appropriate level of concern for those drafting tray Lance?

0:36:05.760 --> 0:36:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Scott and I usually agree for the most part in

0:36:08.280 --> 0:36:10.160
<v Speaker 1>three tough questions, but I disagree in this one. I

0:36:10.400 --> 0:36:13.600
<v Speaker 1>got I got some concern for Trey Lance because the

0:36:13.840 --> 0:36:16.399
<v Speaker 1>Niners were one game away from the Super Bowl. Last year,

0:36:16.840 --> 0:36:19.040
<v Speaker 1>they were almost they were in the NFC Championship Game

0:36:19.040 --> 0:36:21.760
<v Speaker 1>with Jimmy Garoppolo's quarterback there like, and if that safety

0:36:21.880 --> 0:36:24.120
<v Speaker 1>just would have caught the ball, they would have gone

0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:26.000
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of what if. So, I mean, if

0:36:26.360 --> 0:36:29.879
<v Speaker 1>the Niners start one in three, one in four, it's

0:36:29.920 --> 0:36:32.279
<v Speaker 1>probably Trey Lances fault. I'm not saying it's gonna happen.

0:36:32.360 --> 0:36:34.280
<v Speaker 1>So but if if they get off to a slow start,

0:36:35.000 --> 0:36:38.440
<v Speaker 1>they can't afford to let this window slam shut on them,

0:36:38.440 --> 0:36:40.160
<v Speaker 1>and then they could make a switch at quarterback and

0:36:40.840 --> 0:36:43.160
<v Speaker 1>just say Lance needs some more time. I don't think

0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:45.120
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna happen, but so some I would say little

0:36:45.160 --> 0:36:46.680
<v Speaker 1>if I could, But I gotta go with So there's

0:36:46.719 --> 0:36:49.040
<v Speaker 1>got not three options. I was pretty good. It's not none.

0:36:49.040 --> 0:36:51.560
<v Speaker 1>It's something from me. No, it's none. Like if Lance

0:36:51.640 --> 0:36:53.520
<v Speaker 1>is so bad the team pivots to Garoppolo, he wasn't

0:36:53.520 --> 0:36:56.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna help you anyway. If Lances gets mentally shaken by

0:36:56.480 --> 0:36:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Garoppolo's presence, he wasn't gonna help you anyway. Um, And

0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:02.960
<v Speaker 1>he's just the backup for a team that clearly doesn't

0:37:03.000 --> 0:37:05.640
<v Speaker 1>want him to start anymore. There's a long runway for

0:37:05.719 --> 0:37:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Trey Lance. They've invested a ton in him. Um the

0:37:09.239 --> 0:37:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I can't trust it until I see it, crowd, and

0:37:11.440 --> 0:37:13.040
<v Speaker 1>I know there's a bunch of you listening that are

0:37:13.160 --> 0:37:16.600
<v Speaker 1>that way. They will never win fantasy football championships because

0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:20.279
<v Speaker 1>they are always replaying last year. You're not that way.

0:37:20.640 --> 0:37:23.879
<v Speaker 1>You are going to look ahead to one and Trey

0:37:23.960 --> 0:37:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Lance had league winning upside, was a runner, deep ball passer,

0:37:28.040 --> 0:37:32.520
<v Speaker 1>and he's surrounded by great game breaking talent. Tough question

0:37:32.680 --> 0:37:36.280
<v Speaker 1>number two, You've slept the tight end position for twelve rounds.

0:37:37.080 --> 0:37:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Who is the best dart throw tight end you should

0:37:40.560 --> 0:37:46.800
<v Speaker 1>take at that point, Brian, forgive me, Dan Arnold not

0:37:47.280 --> 0:37:49.400
<v Speaker 1>you are not the answer. I'm sorry to say. I

0:37:49.440 --> 0:37:51.000
<v Speaker 1>still believe in you, and I love you with all

0:37:51.080 --> 0:37:53.880
<v Speaker 1>my heart, but I'm going with the aforementioned Isaiah Likely,

0:37:53.960 --> 0:37:57.360
<v Speaker 1>who you basically summed it up charge. He's probably the

0:37:57.400 --> 0:38:01.640
<v Speaker 1>second best wide receiver. He is, I mean Andrews is equally.

0:38:01.920 --> 0:38:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's gonna be Andrews and Likely as the

0:38:04.480 --> 0:38:06.960
<v Speaker 1>other wide receiver options who are tight and eligible, I

0:38:07.040 --> 0:38:12.080
<v Speaker 1>mean likely, you're getting like a Kyle Pitts Jr. Type guys.

0:38:13.320 --> 0:38:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he looks like he has coming from Brian.

0:38:15.560 --> 0:38:18.480
<v Speaker 1>That's I mean, he's a guy who's just gonna He's

0:38:18.520 --> 0:38:21.279
<v Speaker 1>not gonna be an inline blocker. Looks like he's got

0:38:21.360 --> 0:38:23.200
<v Speaker 1>the skill set to play wide receiver. Like you said,

0:38:23.200 --> 0:38:26.839
<v Speaker 1>it's Devin DuVernay and James pro Schet. I'm not sold

0:38:26.880 --> 0:38:29.319
<v Speaker 1>on either of those guys, so I'm going likely here

0:38:29.600 --> 0:38:33.239
<v Speaker 1>Scott who is the tight end that we should dart

0:38:33.360 --> 0:38:36.680
<v Speaker 1>throw after twelve rounds have already passed, So so my

0:38:36.800 --> 0:38:40.800
<v Speaker 1>options are basically IRV Smith, Albert Oh, David Joeku, Tony

0:38:40.880 --> 0:38:45.000
<v Speaker 1>in Fans, Higbie, Everett Hurst, Ingram, Likely, etcetera type of guys.

0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go with David and U uh. He was

0:38:48.560 --> 0:38:51.000
<v Speaker 1>only ran routes on fort nine percent of his plays

0:38:51.040 --> 0:38:53.399
<v Speaker 1>last year and he's still average about eight fancy points

0:38:53.440 --> 0:38:56.040
<v Speaker 1>per game when when he was going full. But he

0:38:56.160 --> 0:38:59.080
<v Speaker 1>looks like he's on track for about eight uh snap

0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:05.920
<v Speaker 1>per route participation, route participating participation. Thank you, uh my

0:39:06.040 --> 0:39:09.080
<v Speaker 1>favorite stats on njoku. I saw I saw this. CBS

0:39:09.120 --> 0:39:13.680
<v Speaker 1>guy tweeted this. His his um average stepth of target

0:39:13.840 --> 0:39:16.799
<v Speaker 1>has gone up three streets seasons. His yards after the catch.

0:39:16.880 --> 0:39:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Three stage seasons, he's everything's improving for him, and they

0:39:20.239 --> 0:39:22.600
<v Speaker 1>just give him a huge contract. They got rid of

0:39:22.719 --> 0:39:25.719
<v Speaker 1>Austin Hooper and his sixty one targets from last year.

0:39:25.880 --> 0:39:27.480
<v Speaker 1>And we talked about on the show a couple of times,

0:39:27.560 --> 0:39:30.680
<v Speaker 1>how if you combine the three Browns tight ends, you

0:39:30.680 --> 0:39:34.120
<v Speaker 1>would have a really good tight end. I think Najoku's

0:39:34.160 --> 0:39:35.840
<v Speaker 1>path is pretty good for a guy you're getting in

0:39:36.719 --> 0:39:40.560
<v Speaker 1>und The correct answer for the tight end to take

0:39:40.640 --> 0:39:42.879
<v Speaker 1>if you've slept that position for twelve rounds is David

0:39:42.920 --> 0:39:47.320
<v Speaker 1>and Joco, you hit most of my bullet points already.

0:39:47.440 --> 0:39:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Stefanski uses his tight ends a lot. Fourth highest

0:39:50.520 --> 0:39:54.000
<v Speaker 1>tight end target rate last year came out of Kevin

0:39:54.080 --> 0:39:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Stefanski and the Cleveland Browns. And here's the kick scored

0:39:57.920 --> 0:40:00.960
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns his tight ends. Stefanski is targeted the tight end

0:40:01.040 --> 0:40:04.160
<v Speaker 1>position more than any other position on plays that start

0:40:04.320 --> 0:40:08.359
<v Speaker 1>from inside the five yard line. So some easy touchdowns coming,

0:40:08.400 --> 0:40:11.200
<v Speaker 1>which you've already you just mentioned Scott for David and Joke,

0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:13.919
<v Speaker 1>can I give you one more stet. Jacoby Brissett's last

0:40:14.000 --> 0:40:16.560
<v Speaker 1>full season he played, he targeted tight ends a hundred

0:40:16.560 --> 0:40:18.759
<v Speaker 1>and thirty five times in fifteen games. That means he

0:40:18.880 --> 0:40:22.480
<v Speaker 1>was targeting tight tight ends nine times per game. You

0:40:22.600 --> 0:40:27.719
<v Speaker 1>don't say, I don't say tough. Question number three, Well,

0:40:27.880 --> 0:40:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Kyler Murray straighten out the hit or miss production we

0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:36.160
<v Speaker 1>saw from Marquis Brown during Brown's tenure in Baltimore. Scott

0:40:36.640 --> 0:40:41.320
<v Speaker 1>probably not those really high A dot Boomer bust guys

0:40:41.600 --> 0:40:45.560
<v Speaker 1>generally don't even out production. I I tend to think

0:40:45.640 --> 0:40:49.160
<v Speaker 1>he you saw it with DeAndre Hopkins last year. He

0:40:49.239 --> 0:40:51.919
<v Speaker 1>had a couple two for twenty one to for fifty days.

0:40:52.400 --> 0:40:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I can see that also for in his you know,

0:40:54.600 --> 0:40:57.200
<v Speaker 1>first six or seven games. I can see that also

0:40:57.560 --> 0:41:00.520
<v Speaker 1>for Marquis Brown, and when DeAndre Hopkins get back, it's

0:41:00.520 --> 0:41:03.479
<v Speaker 1>only going to spread around more. I think you're looking

0:41:03.520 --> 0:41:08.839
<v Speaker 1>at another boomer bus season here. All right, Brian did well.

0:41:08.920 --> 0:41:11.319
<v Speaker 1>Kyler Murray straighten out the hit or missproduction we saw

0:41:11.400 --> 0:41:15.239
<v Speaker 1>from Marquis Brown last year. For those who didn't know this,

0:41:15.640 --> 0:41:18.960
<v Speaker 1>despite the fact they played together at Oklahoma, I'm still

0:41:19.040 --> 0:41:22.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna say, no, um, who would which team do you

0:41:22.560 --> 0:41:24.440
<v Speaker 1>think through the ball more than last year? The Ravens

0:41:24.640 --> 0:41:28.359
<v Speaker 1>or the Cardinals? Cardinals wrong? It was Ravens who were

0:41:28.440 --> 0:41:30.800
<v Speaker 1>ninth in past attempts with six and ten. The Cardinals

0:41:30.840 --> 0:41:35.840
<v Speaker 1>were sixte I would have never got I assume the

0:41:35.880 --> 0:41:37.320
<v Speaker 1>same thing, but I had to look it up and

0:41:37.360 --> 0:41:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I was like, okay, and then I went a little

0:41:39.080 --> 0:41:43.920
<v Speaker 1>further and Marquis Brown finished twenty nine among games we

0:41:44.080 --> 0:41:48.320
<v Speaker 1>probably sn I'm sorry, among wide receivers and half PPR

0:41:48.360 --> 0:41:50.600
<v Speaker 1>points per game last year with a target share north

0:41:50.640 --> 0:41:53.799
<v Speaker 1>of that's a lot. Now he's going to a team

0:41:53.880 --> 0:41:57.359
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna throw the ball less, and I think it's

0:41:57.400 --> 0:42:00.520
<v Speaker 1>a lateral move at quarterback between Lamar Jackson and Ler Murray.

0:42:00.560 --> 0:42:03.759
<v Speaker 1>And I think there's despite DeAndre Hopkins being suspended, I

0:42:03.800 --> 0:42:06.719
<v Speaker 1>think there's more competition for targets. So I'm gonna say no,

0:42:07.960 --> 0:42:13.759
<v Speaker 1>the correct answer is yes, Tyler Murray will help the

0:42:14.040 --> 0:42:16.840
<v Speaker 1>hit or missproduction we've seen from Marcus Brown. First, just

0:42:17.000 --> 0:42:19.799
<v Speaker 1>Hopkins alone free frees up seven targets a game. Now,

0:42:19.880 --> 0:42:21.640
<v Speaker 1>granted it's not for the whole season, but that will

0:42:21.640 --> 0:42:24.080
<v Speaker 1>give us a good running start um. And they also

0:42:24.120 --> 0:42:27.160
<v Speaker 1>obviously lost Christian Kirk in the office. Randell Morris hurt

0:42:27.280 --> 0:42:29.680
<v Speaker 1>right now, rand hurt for the moment anyway, And it's

0:42:29.719 --> 0:42:32.160
<v Speaker 1>just a water bug anyway. I just I'm not. He's

0:42:32.200 --> 0:42:34.320
<v Speaker 1>never gonna be a guy that's gonna soak up targets

0:42:35.040 --> 0:42:38.600
<v Speaker 1>A J. Green, no threat, Antoine Wesley sneaky threat. But

0:42:38.680 --> 0:42:45.480
<v Speaker 1>that's all week. George quiet Than never said. Last year

0:42:45.600 --> 0:42:49.239
<v Speaker 1>under Kyler Murray, at least one of his wide receivers

0:42:49.719 --> 0:42:53.120
<v Speaker 1>scored or crossed one hundred yards in nine of the

0:42:53.160 --> 0:42:55.640
<v Speaker 1>first ten games. Oh no, he got Wesley got placed

0:42:55.680 --> 0:42:57.600
<v Speaker 1>on injured reserve. That it was, Oh yeah, I got

0:42:57.640 --> 0:42:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Iared he was, Yeah, he was. He was battling in

0:43:00.120 --> 0:43:01.680
<v Speaker 1>in the preseason. That's too bad. He was one of

0:43:01.760 --> 0:43:04.200
<v Speaker 1>my like my deepest darts. I knew it was something

0:43:04.239 --> 0:43:07.279
<v Speaker 1>with him. Thank you for looking that up. Kyler Murray

0:43:07.360 --> 0:43:09.800
<v Speaker 1>was able to get good production out of one of

0:43:09.960 --> 0:43:12.080
<v Speaker 1>his at least one of his wide receivers up until

0:43:12.120 --> 0:43:14.520
<v Speaker 1>everything sort of tank for him after Thanksgiving. The hope

0:43:14.600 --> 0:43:16.399
<v Speaker 1>is that he can he he and by the way,

0:43:16.719 --> 0:43:19.720
<v Speaker 1>if he and Cliff Kingsbury don't do better in December,

0:43:19.760 --> 0:43:23.000
<v Speaker 1>they're gone. They got to straighten that out because if

0:43:23.080 --> 0:43:26.440
<v Speaker 1>they are, they are one more bad December away from

0:43:26.560 --> 0:43:29.000
<v Speaker 1>losing their job. All Kyler Murkin's got the big contract.

0:43:32.280 --> 0:43:34.720
<v Speaker 1>I will consider your point for the first six weeks

0:43:34.840 --> 0:43:37.439
<v Speaker 1>that he'll be more consistent after that when Hopkins is back.

0:43:37.760 --> 0:43:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't think, you know what, I don't think. I

0:43:40.239 --> 0:43:42.319
<v Speaker 1>don't think Hopkins got that much left in the tank.

0:43:42.760 --> 0:43:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Conversion of him we saw last year was certainly not

0:43:45.760 --> 0:43:48.560
<v Speaker 1>the dominating version that we had seen in his Houston days.

0:43:49.000 --> 0:43:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm optimistic on markis Brown. I've been

0:43:51.960 --> 0:43:54.040
<v Speaker 1>a skeptic up until this point of the career. I

0:43:54.080 --> 0:43:56.680
<v Speaker 1>want to think it's gonna come together here with great opportunity.

0:43:56.760 --> 0:43:58.840
<v Speaker 1>But your points to the point that Brian made, he

0:43:58.880 --> 0:44:02.560
<v Speaker 1>has had great opportunity in the past. If you would

<v Speaker 1>Paul Charchi and Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you.

0:44:49.680 --> 0:44:54.760
<v Speaker 1>This segment devoted to teammates, which teammate is the better

0:44:54.920 --> 0:44:57.480
<v Speaker 1>one to draft based on their ADP. Now, in most

0:44:57.560 --> 0:44:59.840
<v Speaker 1>cases we know exactly who the better teammate is do

0:45:00.000 --> 0:45:01.840
<v Speaker 1>who's going to score more Fantasy points? But when you

0:45:01.960 --> 0:45:05.359
<v Speaker 1>apply to the draft capital you have to give up

0:45:05.400 --> 0:45:08.839
<v Speaker 1>to get that guy, the whole equation changes. We'd all

0:45:08.960 --> 0:45:12.600
<v Speaker 1>rather have. Wow, let's go. We can go right to

0:45:12.680 --> 0:45:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the first. Let's do it. The Buffalo backfield. Devin Singletary

0:45:17.239 --> 0:45:20.560
<v Speaker 1>going in round seven, James Cook going in round ten,

0:45:20.920 --> 0:45:24.919
<v Speaker 1>or Zack Moss going in round twenty four. Scott, let's

0:45:24.920 --> 0:45:27.879
<v Speaker 1>begin with you. Yeah, So, as an early early guy

0:45:28.000 --> 0:45:31.239
<v Speaker 1>on Singletary and a guy who really likes the highlights

0:45:31.480 --> 0:45:34.799
<v Speaker 1>of James Cook, I'm still going with Zack mosson round

0:45:34.800 --> 0:45:36.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty four, just because I don't really want a part

0:45:36.520 --> 0:45:38.920
<v Speaker 1>of this backfield right now, and if I have to

0:45:39.000 --> 0:45:40.759
<v Speaker 1>take one, it's going to be the round twenty four

0:45:40.800 --> 0:45:44.680
<v Speaker 1>guy who's been talked up all preseason. That makes sense, Brian,

0:45:44.760 --> 0:45:47.640
<v Speaker 1>what do you think? Devin Singletary in the seventh, James

0:45:47.719 --> 0:45:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Cook in the tenth, there's Zack Moss in round twenty four. Yeah,

0:45:50.640 --> 0:45:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Scott and I are in pretty much full this offense

0:45:53.719 --> 0:45:55.520
<v Speaker 1>is going to go through Josh Allen, whether it's his

0:45:55.680 --> 0:45:57.720
<v Speaker 1>arm or his legs. So I'm just taking the cheapest

0:45:57.760 --> 0:46:02.120
<v Speaker 1>guy here, and uh, it's Zack mosson he's broken our

0:46:02.160 --> 0:46:05.000
<v Speaker 1>hearts in the past. Give him one more chance at

0:46:05.040 --> 0:46:09.840
<v Speaker 1>this price. Meant by Singletary and Cook. Thing is I

0:46:10.000 --> 0:46:13.239
<v Speaker 1>like those players and even I don't want so it's

0:46:13.280 --> 0:46:15.320
<v Speaker 1>a fair point. Um, I totally agree with all the

0:46:15.360 --> 0:46:17.319
<v Speaker 1>points you made. I'd take Zack moss out of that group,

0:46:17.400 --> 0:46:19.479
<v Speaker 1>mostly just because I don't want to invest in the others.

0:46:20.200 --> 0:46:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to New England. Which teammate would you rather draft?

0:46:24.640 --> 0:46:29.320
<v Speaker 1>You have to draft one and only one, Romandre Stevenson

0:46:29.400 --> 0:46:33.239
<v Speaker 1>now going round seven or Damien Harris going round ten,

0:46:35.320 --> 0:46:40.160
<v Speaker 1>and that much, I'm gonna pay up for Romandre Stevenson

0:46:40.200 --> 0:46:43.000
<v Speaker 1>in the seventh round over Harris. Um. I think he's

0:46:43.000 --> 0:46:45.120
<v Speaker 1>a special player, will be a special player. Going back

0:46:45.160 --> 0:46:48.279
<v Speaker 1>to his college days at Oklahoma, he was on his

0:46:48.320 --> 0:46:50.240
<v Speaker 1>way to being one of the top backs in college football,

0:46:50.320 --> 0:46:54.319
<v Speaker 1>got suspended for marijuana lame and then in he had

0:46:54.360 --> 0:46:57.359
<v Speaker 1>to split time with Trey Sermon, who was also very lame.

0:46:57.440 --> 0:46:59.960
<v Speaker 1>But even in splitting that time, Stevenson force an average

0:47:00.760 --> 0:47:03.640
<v Speaker 1>point three six missed tackles per carry in according to

0:47:03.680 --> 0:47:05.719
<v Speaker 1>Pro Football Focus, that was the fifth best mark in

0:47:05.719 --> 0:47:09.279
<v Speaker 1>college football. He had hundred nineteen touches and college lost.

0:47:09.520 --> 0:47:12.080
<v Speaker 1>You areadag on just four of them. He's a He's

0:47:12.120 --> 0:47:15.160
<v Speaker 1>the beast, and I think he's gonna He's already taken

0:47:15.200 --> 0:47:16.919
<v Speaker 1>over the starting job, and I think he's We don't

0:47:16.920 --> 0:47:19.920
<v Speaker 1>know that all we think that. I know Harris had

0:47:19.960 --> 0:47:22.320
<v Speaker 1>his fifteen touchdowns last year, but I think Stevenson is

0:47:22.400 --> 0:47:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the more skilled player and I would take him in

0:47:25.040 --> 0:47:27.239
<v Speaker 1>the seventh round over Harris in the tenth. Alright, Scott,

0:47:27.400 --> 0:47:31.200
<v Speaker 1>which New England running back? Would you take Remander Stevenson

0:47:31.320 --> 0:47:33.640
<v Speaker 1>in the seventh or Damien Harris in the tenth. It

0:47:33.719 --> 0:47:37.040
<v Speaker 1>feels like I've talked about Romandre Stevenson every single week

0:47:37.200 --> 0:47:41.839
<v Speaker 1>on this is very clear for me. In fact, round seven,

0:47:41.880 --> 0:47:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I've been taking him round six. I feel like I

0:47:43.680 --> 0:47:46.920
<v Speaker 1>took him five twelve ones, like I'm I'm taking him

0:47:46.960 --> 0:47:50.279
<v Speaker 1>that early just because he's got RB one like top

0:47:50.360 --> 0:47:53.480
<v Speaker 1>twelve running back in him. If he does leave Pro

0:47:53.680 --> 0:47:56.279
<v Speaker 1>Damian Harris, I'll take that all day. Damien Harris if

0:47:56.280 --> 0:47:58.319
<v Speaker 1>he's going If he's dipped to the tenth. I'm buying

0:47:58.360 --> 0:48:02.000
<v Speaker 1>that dip. Yeah, after the way, that's not how the

0:48:02.080 --> 0:48:04.359
<v Speaker 1>game is, but I'm buying that dip if that's if

0:48:04.400 --> 0:48:06.239
<v Speaker 1>that's where he's going. Now that's crazy. Let's go to

0:48:06.280 --> 0:48:10.160
<v Speaker 1>the Jets, would you? Well, who are you taking? I'm

0:48:10.160 --> 0:48:12.200
<v Speaker 1>on Stevenson as work, But this is mostly a game

0:48:12.239 --> 0:48:14.080
<v Speaker 1>for you guys. I'm just I'm playing. I'm just playing

0:48:14.120 --> 0:48:18.120
<v Speaker 1>the the role of of like game show host. Here

0:48:19.520 --> 0:48:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Breese Hall in round four or Michael Carter. Again, these

0:48:22.640 --> 0:48:26.200
<v Speaker 1>are teammates. You have to pick one. Jets running back

0:48:26.200 --> 0:48:29.040
<v Speaker 1>to Breecee Hall in round four Michael Carter round eleven.

0:48:29.360 --> 0:48:31.239
<v Speaker 1>I believe we're in Scott to go first for this one.

0:48:31.600 --> 0:48:34.799
<v Speaker 1>Sure it's still Briest Hall, but man, that is quite

0:48:34.840 --> 0:48:37.560
<v Speaker 1>a gap. And Michael Carter is the presumed starter at

0:48:37.640 --> 0:48:41.200
<v Speaker 1>this point. I just really I know he hasn't, you know,

0:48:42.560 --> 0:48:45.200
<v Speaker 1>flashed enough to step up, but he's had flashes, and

0:48:45.320 --> 0:48:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I really feel like this is one of those Jonathan

0:48:47.560 --> 0:48:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Taylor or Adrian Peter Peterson situations where Chester Taylor had

0:48:52.239 --> 0:48:54.439
<v Speaker 1>the starting role but it took three or four weeks,

0:48:54.520 --> 0:48:56.520
<v Speaker 1>or Marlon Mack had the starting role over John and

0:48:56.560 --> 0:48:58.640
<v Speaker 1>took three or four weeks before they got going. But

0:48:58.760 --> 0:49:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I feel the second half of this season is gonna

0:49:00.760 --> 0:49:03.120
<v Speaker 1>be Bruce Hall. And I think Bruce Hall is going

0:49:03.160 --> 0:49:05.680
<v Speaker 1>to be borderline, you know, definitely a top twenty four

0:49:05.760 --> 0:49:09.239
<v Speaker 1>guy in that range. So I will take the round

0:49:09.360 --> 0:49:12.360
<v Speaker 1>four Briest Hall. It's it's looking not too good right now,

0:49:12.520 --> 0:49:15.480
<v Speaker 1>all right, Brian Breese Hall, Round four, Michael Carter, round eleven.

0:49:16.320 --> 0:49:18.279
<v Speaker 1>I would shoot the moon for Bruese Hall, but I'm

0:49:18.280 --> 0:49:21.279
<v Speaker 1>worried about that offensive line in New York, especially after

0:49:21.320 --> 0:49:23.360
<v Speaker 1>they lost lest left tackle and guy backed in. So

0:49:23.400 --> 0:49:25.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna take the cheaper Carter, who is the starter

0:49:25.880 --> 0:49:28.399
<v Speaker 1>for now and could maintain that role throughout the season.

0:49:28.440 --> 0:49:31.400
<v Speaker 1>According to Profo both Focus, Carter forced more miss tackles

0:49:31.440 --> 0:49:34.080
<v Speaker 1>per touch than Javonte Williams last year, so he can play.

0:49:34.600 --> 0:49:38.080
<v Speaker 1>And uh, if there's a seven round delta between the two,

0:49:38.120 --> 0:49:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna take the cheaper guy here. Yeah, I'm with you,

0:49:40.320 --> 0:49:43.040
<v Speaker 1>cheaper guy. Let's go to Cincinnati. Jamaar Chase will cost

0:49:43.080 --> 0:49:46.520
<v Speaker 1>you a first rounder teammate Tehiggens a third rounder or

0:49:46.640 --> 0:49:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Boyd a long time Brian Johnson favorite round eleven.

0:49:51.000 --> 0:49:53.759
<v Speaker 1>But this is a sticky one, Brian, which one would

0:49:53.800 --> 0:49:56.719
<v Speaker 1>you choose at his average draft position? Yeah, that was

0:49:56.760 --> 0:50:00.200
<v Speaker 1>a big boyd guy. Well before Tee Higgins Smart ticket

0:50:00.280 --> 0:50:02.960
<v Speaker 1>store around, they kind of they kind of spoiled the

0:50:03.239 --> 0:50:05.960
<v Speaker 1>ruin the party there. Uh so he's out of the

0:50:06.000 --> 0:50:07.840
<v Speaker 1>equation for me. Boy that is, I'm gonna go with

0:50:07.920 --> 0:50:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Higgins in around three who outscored Jamar Chase in PPR

0:50:11.560 --> 0:50:14.880
<v Speaker 1>last year from weeks fifteen or weeks five through sixteen,

0:50:15.480 --> 0:50:18.560
<v Speaker 1>And Jamaar Chase had that monster week seventeen that won

0:50:18.640 --> 0:50:20.160
<v Speaker 1>everyone in their league if they had him on Rosster,

0:50:20.239 --> 0:50:21.880
<v Speaker 1>especially if he was paired with Joe Burrow. But if

0:50:21.920 --> 0:50:24.920
<v Speaker 1>you replaced that monster Week seventeen just with his per

0:50:25.080 --> 0:50:28.040
<v Speaker 1>game average, which is like fifteen PPR points per game,

0:50:28.760 --> 0:50:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Chase finishes just barely inside the top ten among wide receivers.

0:50:32.600 --> 0:50:35.240
<v Speaker 1>So his number is a little skewed by that monster

0:50:35.360 --> 0:50:38.200
<v Speaker 1>week uh seventeen games. So I'm gonna take Higgins here. Yeah,

0:50:38.280 --> 0:50:40.360
<v Speaker 1>it's not just that monster week. I think something like

0:50:40.560 --> 0:50:43.440
<v Speaker 1>thirty three or thirty five percent of his uh Fantasy

0:50:43.560 --> 0:50:47.399
<v Speaker 1>points came off of eight plays. Wow, that's amazing. Yeah,

0:50:47.480 --> 0:50:50.600
<v Speaker 1>it's it was a lot of but he gets those

0:50:50.680 --> 0:50:53.840
<v Speaker 1>like that's part of his games. You can't really detract it.

0:50:53.920 --> 0:50:57.040
<v Speaker 1>It's just an interesting thing. Uh. For me, I'm taking

0:50:57.040 --> 0:51:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Tee Higgins at the two round discount, uh, because a

0:51:01.080 --> 0:51:03.279
<v Speaker 1>lot of people do forget like he was better than

0:51:03.560 --> 0:51:06.719
<v Speaker 1>Jamaar Chase seven out of the seventeen weeks from week

0:51:06.840 --> 0:51:09.880
<v Speaker 1>eight to fourteen, he was the better receiver as Chase dipped,

0:51:10.200 --> 0:51:12.080
<v Speaker 1>and Chase did have a couple of monster games that

0:51:12.200 --> 0:51:16.839
<v Speaker 1>really really buoyed his fantasy production. Like, uh, but it's

0:51:16.880 --> 0:51:18.560
<v Speaker 1>a two rounds like you can get someone really good

0:51:18.600 --> 0:51:21.640
<v Speaker 1>in the in the first and get comparable production two

0:51:21.719 --> 0:51:24.840
<v Speaker 1>rounds later, and people forget Higgins had the monsters. Higgins

0:51:25.360 --> 0:51:28.320
<v Speaker 1>two touchdowns and post yards and Chase was opened on

0:51:28.360 --> 0:51:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the last play. If Burrow had another second, Higgins was

0:51:31.480 --> 0:51:33.680
<v Speaker 1>my wide receiver thirteen. I might move him to twelve.

0:51:33.719 --> 0:51:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm he's in. He's right there for me, let's go

0:51:37.280 --> 0:51:40.920
<v Speaker 1>to Pittsburgh. Teammates. Would you pay? Who would you Who

0:51:40.960 --> 0:51:44.759
<v Speaker 1>would you draft? Deonta Johnson Round four, George Pickens Round nine,

0:51:44.960 --> 0:51:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Chase Claypool round ten, Scott h It's George Pickens for me,

0:51:49.400 --> 0:51:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I have him on every roster and

0:51:51.120 --> 0:51:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I can't get enough of him. I need him on

0:51:52.760 --> 0:51:55.759
<v Speaker 1>every roster. Uh, it's it's the five round discount. I'm

0:51:55.800 --> 0:51:57.840
<v Speaker 1>not even sure Deonta Johnson is going to be the

0:51:57.920 --> 0:52:00.920
<v Speaker 1>complete target hog that he was with and who I

0:52:01.000 --> 0:52:03.520
<v Speaker 1>think in part I believe Ben's noodle arm forced him

0:52:03.560 --> 0:52:06.680
<v Speaker 1>to throw it so short to Deonta Johnson all the time.

0:52:06.680 --> 0:52:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure he gets the same volume he gets. Uh.

0:52:09.239 --> 0:52:11.040
<v Speaker 1>And and plus there's just a lot of other players

0:52:11.080 --> 0:52:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I want in round four. In round nine, I'm getting

0:52:13.480 --> 0:52:16.000
<v Speaker 1>a George Pickens that I feel like, could you know

0:52:16.160 --> 0:52:19.000
<v Speaker 1>be a top thirty six receiver starting wide receiver on

0:52:19.080 --> 0:52:22.880
<v Speaker 1>your fantasy team? All right, Brian, which Pittsburgh wide receiver

0:52:22.960 --> 0:52:25.720
<v Speaker 1>would you rather have Deonte Johnson round four, George Pickens

0:52:25.840 --> 0:52:29.400
<v Speaker 1>round nine, or Chase Claypool round ten? I love Pickens

0:52:29.520 --> 0:52:32.080
<v Speaker 1>like like Fish does. But I'm still I'm still gonna

0:52:32.080 --> 0:52:34.640
<v Speaker 1>go Deonta Johnson in round four. I know things have changed.

0:52:34.880 --> 0:52:37.440
<v Speaker 1>He might not be the target hog that he was

0:52:37.600 --> 0:52:40.279
<v Speaker 1>with Roethlisberger. By the way, last year, only Cooper Cup

0:52:40.320 --> 0:52:44.800
<v Speaker 1>saw more targets than Deonta Johnson and Deonta Johnson only also,

0:52:44.960 --> 0:52:47.520
<v Speaker 1>only twenty seven percent of his games resulted in the

0:52:47.600 --> 0:52:50.440
<v Speaker 1>finish outside of the top thirty at wide receiver. I

0:52:50.520 --> 0:52:52.480
<v Speaker 1>got this great info from your your cheat sheets. By

0:52:52.520 --> 0:52:56.200
<v Speaker 1>the way, eatings dot Com. The only other wide receivers

0:52:56.239 --> 0:53:00.200
<v Speaker 1>who did that finished outside of the top third in

0:53:00.280 --> 0:53:02.920
<v Speaker 1>under three percent of their games, or Justin Jefferson, Cooper

0:53:03.000 --> 0:53:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Cup and Deebo Samuel So Johnson, he just feels much

0:53:06.960 --> 0:53:10.240
<v Speaker 1>safer than me. Pickens scold had that Randy Moss splash,

0:53:10.239 --> 0:53:11.480
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know if it's gonna come in your one.

0:53:11.520 --> 0:53:13.600
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's go to Dallas. Would you rather have

0:53:13.719 --> 0:53:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Zeke in round three or Tony Pollard in round six?

0:53:17.160 --> 0:53:22.560
<v Speaker 1>As we continue through our battling teammates Brian offensive line

0:53:22.600 --> 0:53:26.759
<v Speaker 1>issues in Dallas, So of course you gotta we worry

0:53:26.760 --> 0:53:28.239
<v Speaker 1>about Zeke a little bit. But I'm still gonna take

0:53:28.320 --> 0:53:29.759
<v Speaker 1>Zeke in round three. I think that's still a good

0:53:29.760 --> 0:53:31.279
<v Speaker 1>discount for a guy who was well on his way

0:53:31.320 --> 0:53:33.160
<v Speaker 1>to being a top five running back last year before

0:53:33.200 --> 0:53:35.040
<v Speaker 1>his season was kind of derailed in Week six with

0:53:35.120 --> 0:53:37.319
<v Speaker 1>injuries that he played through the remainder of the season.

0:53:37.320 --> 0:53:39.880
<v Speaker 1>He'sdaveraging over five yards per carry with it with a

0:53:39.960 --> 0:53:42.319
<v Speaker 1>banged up offensive line then, so I'm still gonna go Zeke.

0:53:42.360 --> 0:53:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I love Pollard though, Yeah, it's Zeke. He's still putting

0:53:45.640 --> 0:53:48.640
<v Speaker 1>up top ten running back numbers time and time again,

0:53:49.080 --> 0:53:51.239
<v Speaker 1>and people just don't like him anymore. Even though he

0:53:51.280 --> 0:53:54.120
<v Speaker 1>played injured last year, that's in his production didn't even

0:53:54.160 --> 0:53:56.800
<v Speaker 1>go down that much while injured. He's fully healthy this

0:53:56.920 --> 0:53:59.880
<v Speaker 1>year and it's his final year probably with the Cowboys

0:54:00.080 --> 0:54:02.840
<v Speaker 1>going to run him eighteen total touches from inside the

0:54:02.880 --> 0:54:05.520
<v Speaker 1>five last year for Zeke, Pollard had one. Yeah, I

0:54:05.600 --> 0:54:07.640
<v Speaker 1>mean that's just you know, if we want at the

0:54:07.719 --> 0:54:10.000
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, we want touchdowns, Zeke's that guy.

0:54:10.520 --> 0:54:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Chicago as we look at the teammates

0:54:13.520 --> 0:54:16.239
<v Speaker 1>that we would prefer to draft over another. We go

0:54:16.400 --> 0:54:19.480
<v Speaker 1>to David Montgomery round five, Khalil Herbert coming in at

0:54:19.560 --> 0:54:22.920
<v Speaker 1>round eleven, Scott, which one would you take? Yeah, I'm

0:54:22.960 --> 0:54:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm taking Herbert basically because I don't really love either

0:54:26.280 --> 0:54:29.480
<v Speaker 1>of them. Herbert's got head buzz about being more involved

0:54:29.520 --> 0:54:33.080
<v Speaker 1>in splitting more. It's uh, David Montgomery has not been

0:54:33.120 --> 0:54:35.640
<v Speaker 1>an efficient running back. It's all been volume for him,

0:54:35.840 --> 0:54:37.480
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not sure he gets the same volume in

0:54:37.560 --> 0:54:39.879
<v Speaker 1>that offensive line is terrible. I really don't want either,

0:54:40.000 --> 0:54:41.880
<v Speaker 1>but if I have to, I guess I'll spend the eleven.

0:54:42.239 --> 0:54:44.719
<v Speaker 1>You'll take the discount. Do you feel any differently, Brian?

0:54:44.920 --> 0:54:46.919
<v Speaker 1>Can I take trust and Ebner in the last round?

0:54:48.400 --> 0:54:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Considering Justin Fields is going to lead the Bears and

0:54:50.400 --> 0:54:52.360
<v Speaker 1>rushing I predict this year, So yeah, I'll take the

0:54:52.400 --> 0:54:54.759
<v Speaker 1>cheaper guy all day. All right, let's go to Green Bay.

0:54:55.080 --> 0:54:59.360
<v Speaker 1>This one is really pretty which running back? Are you

0:54:59.440 --> 0:55:03.080
<v Speaker 1>going to take Aaron Jones in round two or a

0:55:03.280 --> 0:55:06.799
<v Speaker 1>J Dillon in round five? Brian, this feels like it'll

0:55:06.840 --> 0:55:08.360
<v Speaker 1>be as close as you can get to a fifty

0:55:08.440 --> 0:55:11.239
<v Speaker 1>fifty split between two very talented guys. So I'm going

0:55:11.280 --> 0:55:12.840
<v Speaker 1>to take the cheaper guy in a J. Dillon, And

0:55:13.239 --> 0:55:16.480
<v Speaker 1>mainly because if you gotta take Jones in the second round.

0:55:16.520 --> 0:55:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Alvin Kamara is sitting there and I'm all over Kamara

0:55:18.920 --> 0:55:20.560
<v Speaker 1>and I'm taking him ten out of ten times over

0:55:20.600 --> 0:55:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Jones. So we're about I'm gonna take later. It

0:55:25.640 --> 0:55:27.520
<v Speaker 1>is part of the argument that was my thoughts too,

0:55:27.640 --> 0:55:29.960
<v Speaker 1>is there They're like Aaron Jones, I feel like he

0:55:30.040 --> 0:55:32.680
<v Speaker 1>could lead that team in receptions, he could be RB one,

0:55:32.800 --> 0:55:34.919
<v Speaker 1>like I feel like that's in his range, but there's

0:55:34.920 --> 0:55:37.239
<v Speaker 1>also a ton of really talented running backs in that

0:55:37.400 --> 0:55:39.880
<v Speaker 1>same range that are going with him. I would rather

0:55:39.920 --> 0:55:41.640
<v Speaker 1>take a j. Dillon, who I play in the league

0:55:41.680 --> 0:55:44.920
<v Speaker 1>with later the fifth and take the disc outed he

0:55:44.960 --> 0:55:47.040
<v Speaker 1>could be at RB one if Aaron Jones gets hurt.

0:55:47.640 --> 0:55:51.160
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's go to Minnesota another I think another

0:55:51.280 --> 0:55:54.560
<v Speaker 1>fairly tricky one. But we'll find out which teammate. Yeah

0:55:54.600 --> 0:55:56.839
<v Speaker 1>we are in Minnesota, which teammate is the better one

0:55:56.920 --> 0:56:02.200
<v Speaker 1>to draft Justin Jefferson round one, Adam Feeling. Round six.

0:56:02.760 --> 0:56:05.239
<v Speaker 1>Probably should have added in kJ Osborne, but that's not

0:56:05.640 --> 0:56:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Probably should have uh, Jefferson one feeling round six, Scott.

0:56:10.200 --> 0:56:13.280
<v Speaker 1>So this one I still haven't recovered from saying Justin

0:56:13.400 --> 0:56:16.279
<v Speaker 1>Jefferson in round two versus Adam Feeling in round five

0:56:16.400 --> 0:56:18.440
<v Speaker 1>last year at the Fair, and I got booed for it,

0:56:19.480 --> 0:56:22.360
<v Speaker 1>um because I said Jefferson and everybody else thought it

0:56:22.400 --> 0:56:25.880
<v Speaker 1>was a little bit better, a little bitter. We love

0:56:25.960 --> 0:56:28.479
<v Speaker 1>the people to State Fair. Most of them are drunk.

0:56:29.760 --> 0:56:32.040
<v Speaker 1>That is true. It is it is obviously ten in

0:56:32.080 --> 0:56:34.799
<v Speaker 1>the morning. Was still when we do why not all

0:56:34.840 --> 0:56:38.560
<v Speaker 1>of them, Okay at the airport and time for me,

0:56:38.680 --> 0:56:40.880
<v Speaker 1>it's Adam Feeling. It's Adam Feeling now at this one,

0:56:41.000 --> 0:56:44.080
<v Speaker 1>because justin Jefferson, you are spending a top three pick,

0:56:44.480 --> 0:56:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Adam Feeling, You're getting in round six, sometimes round five,

0:56:47.719 --> 0:56:50.640
<v Speaker 1>sometimes even round seven, and you're getting a guy who

0:56:51.040 --> 0:56:54.200
<v Speaker 1>is I say very likely, I not even just likely,

0:56:54.440 --> 0:56:57.000
<v Speaker 1>very likely to be a ten plus touchdown guy, which

0:56:57.080 --> 0:56:59.520
<v Speaker 1>is crazy in that round. Yeah, I'm gonna see on that.

0:56:59.600 --> 0:57:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Brian feel any differently I do. I gotta go Jefferson.

0:57:02.280 --> 0:57:04.839
<v Speaker 1>Among the big three wide receivers, and that's Jefferson, Cup

0:57:04.960 --> 0:57:07.879
<v Speaker 1>and Jamar Chase. I feel like Feeling poses the least

0:57:07.960 --> 0:57:11.320
<v Speaker 1>threat to his counterpart. I'm more concerned with te Higgins

0:57:11.360 --> 0:57:14.759
<v Speaker 1>obviously for Jamar Chase's sake, and in Allen Robinson with

0:57:14.800 --> 0:57:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Cooper Cup. So if I'm gonna pay up for a

0:57:16.800 --> 0:57:19.240
<v Speaker 1>one of the big wide receivers, it is justin Jefferson.

0:57:19.520 --> 0:57:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Feelings kind of old. There's more risk built into Feeling

0:57:24.000 --> 0:57:26.160
<v Speaker 1>for sure. With the injury history, there's no doubt about it.

0:57:26.360 --> 0:57:29.400
<v Speaker 1>All Right, We've got time for one last one. Let's

0:57:29.440 --> 0:57:33.000
<v Speaker 1>go to Tampa Bay. Mike Evans Round three, Chris Godwin

0:57:33.120 --> 0:57:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Round five. Brian, I'm going Godwin, who has finished wide

0:57:36.760 --> 0:57:39.560
<v Speaker 1>receiver to wide receiver fifteen wide receiver seven in points

0:57:39.600 --> 0:57:41.520
<v Speaker 1>per games, over the points per game over the last

0:57:41.560 --> 0:57:43.280
<v Speaker 1>three seasons, and he seems like he's gonna be ready

0:57:43.280 --> 0:57:46.320
<v Speaker 1>for Week one. They released Tyler Johnson, so I think

0:57:46.360 --> 0:57:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Godwin's gonna be a ghost. I think the cheaper guy. Honestly,

0:57:49.240 --> 0:57:52.640
<v Speaker 1>there's are both very good values for both. I started

0:57:52.680 --> 0:57:54.479
<v Speaker 1>to lean Godwin, but I'm gonna go with Mike Evans,

0:57:54.560 --> 0:57:58.640
<v Speaker 1>who's bent double digit touchdowns every single year. Top that's

0:57:58.680 --> 0:58:03.440
<v Speaker 1>the touchdowns. I like touchdowns. Everybody who likes touchdowns, everybody

0:58:05.040 --> 0:58:09.120
<v Speaker 1>absolutely absolutely. When we come back, I might be wrong

0:58:09.240 --> 0:58:11.440
<v Speaker 1>about that. There's some stances that we take on this

0:58:11.480 --> 0:58:14.440
<v Speaker 1>show that are pretty strong. We'll confess the things that

0:58:14.480 --> 0:58:17.680
<v Speaker 1>are keeping us up at night about that. Maybe we're

0:58:17.960 --> 0:58:22.560
<v Speaker 1>not right about It's a possibility. We'll find out what

0:58:22.720 --> 0:58:24.840
<v Speaker 1>they are when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly.

0:58:45.680 --> 0:58:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Football Weekly continues Paul Charchi and Guillotine Leagues dot Com.

0:58:49.440 --> 0:58:51.760
<v Speaker 1>If you haven't tried a Guillotine league yet, it is

0:58:52.320 --> 0:58:56.400
<v Speaker 1>super fun and a really different way to play fantasy football.

0:58:57.200 --> 0:59:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Eighteen teams start the season, and that's because there's eighteen

0:59:00.760 --> 0:59:04.080
<v Speaker 1>weeks in the season, no head to head. Instead, the

0:59:04.120 --> 0:59:06.600
<v Speaker 1>low scoring team gets cut every week and their players

0:59:06.640 --> 0:59:11.479
<v Speaker 1>go to the waiver wire where pandemonium and sues. Scott Fish,

0:59:12.080 --> 0:59:15.680
<v Speaker 1>there it is, and you get to bid on a

0:59:15.800 --> 0:59:18.280
<v Speaker 1>whole draft of players that just hit the waiver wire.

0:59:18.400 --> 0:59:21.400
<v Speaker 1>This is not like anything that's ever happened to you before.

0:59:21.560 --> 0:59:24.680
<v Speaker 1>You build powerhouse teams throughout the season by not finishing last.

0:59:25.080 --> 0:59:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Tons of fun, lots of ways to to play and win.

0:59:28.880 --> 0:59:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Guillotine Leagues dot com. This is a segment devoted to

0:59:34.760 --> 0:59:39.360
<v Speaker 1>the things that we might be wrong about. I was,

0:59:42.320 --> 0:59:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I was not exactly right. Any good fantasy show has

0:59:47.160 --> 0:59:49.439
<v Speaker 1>got you gotta take strong take some things. You gotta

0:59:49.520 --> 0:59:51.720
<v Speaker 1>strong opinions. You have to predict what's going to happen.

0:59:52.320 --> 0:59:57.200
<v Speaker 1>But then you lay awake at night you think, what

0:59:57.320 --> 1:00:00.640
<v Speaker 1>if I'm wrong? What are the things keeping you guys

1:00:01.120 --> 1:00:03.960
<v Speaker 1>awake at night? Brian, what might you be wrong about?

1:00:05.360 --> 1:00:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I think of Kyle Pitts all night long, all day,

1:00:09.640 --> 1:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Just Kyle Pitts on my mind all the time. By

1:00:12.160 --> 1:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>the way, Scott, where is that jock strap that you're

1:00:15.640 --> 1:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>choir from one of your many years, from your collection,

1:00:18.920 --> 1:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>your personal collection. No, no, he's saying. He's saying because

1:00:22.120 --> 1:00:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I I played a league with Tyler Algier, that Algier,

1:00:24.920 --> 1:00:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I should connect with Algier to get one from. Yes,

1:00:27.320 --> 1:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>So I might be wrong about Kyle Pitts being a

1:00:30.400 --> 1:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>league winner. And I've been advocating to reach around for

1:00:33.000 --> 1:00:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Pitts, grabbing him the second round. But even if

1:00:35.760 --> 1:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>drafting them the third round, you're drafting him to be

1:00:37.680 --> 1:00:39.800
<v Speaker 1>a league winner as a tight end. And that would

1:00:39.840 --> 1:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>have been the case last year if not for the

1:00:41.480 --> 1:00:44.160
<v Speaker 1>one touchdown um. He was one of three tight ends

1:00:44.200 --> 1:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the top of thousand yards, Travis Kelsey and Mark Andrews

1:00:46.920 --> 1:00:50.120
<v Speaker 1>the only other two. Pitts average more yards perception than

1:00:50.200 --> 1:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Kelsey and Andrews did. That'd be right. Well, I know this,

1:00:55.040 --> 1:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>and that's why I've been banging the drum. But I

1:00:58.440 --> 1:01:01.320
<v Speaker 1>could be wrong. I could be wrong because maybe they

1:01:01.400 --> 1:01:08.680
<v Speaker 1>continue to misutilize him. The quarterback play might be worse.

1:01:08.960 --> 1:01:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a fan of Matt Ryan, but Marcus Mariota's

1:01:11.760 --> 1:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>starting quarterback. You never know. Drake London I think helps

1:01:14.800 --> 1:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Pitts cause, but maybe he is the alpha receiver

1:01:18.240 --> 1:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>for the Falcons. So there are there is some concern

1:01:20.680 --> 1:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>that Kyle Pitts may not be the league winner that

1:01:22.800 --> 1:01:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling him as. But I'm still I'm not gonna

1:01:24.800 --> 1:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>be wrong about this. But maybe okay, all right, Scott,

1:01:28.000 --> 1:01:29.960
<v Speaker 1>what is keeping you awake? What do you what are

1:01:30.000 --> 1:01:32.720
<v Speaker 1>you worried that you might be wrong about? So I'm

1:01:32.840 --> 1:01:35.440
<v Speaker 1>way overweight on Alan Robinson. I've been in on him

1:01:35.480 --> 1:01:38.640
<v Speaker 1>on almost every show I've done. I've thrown out there.

1:01:38.720 --> 1:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>The Robert Woods was wide receiver twelve before the injury,

1:01:41.240 --> 1:01:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and O b J was wide receiver thirteen from the

1:01:43.280 --> 1:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>time he got there to the end of the season.

1:01:44.720 --> 1:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>But O b J had a few games that weren't

1:01:47.440 --> 1:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>that great. They just scored touchdowns, and Robert Woods had

1:01:50.000 --> 1:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>a couple, like a hundred and fifty yard game and

1:01:51.880 --> 1:01:55.080
<v Speaker 1>like a touch Maybe it was a little, you know,

1:01:55.320 --> 1:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a little more flukey than I like to believe. Van

1:01:58.120 --> 1:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Jefferson will be coming back, And what if he takes

1:02:01.080 --> 1:02:04.160
<v Speaker 1>a step up? What if O b J. H Allen

1:02:04.240 --> 1:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Robinson is actually half washed at this point and the

1:02:07.520 --> 1:02:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Bears to tell you he is. What if all those

1:02:10.000 --> 1:02:12.920
<v Speaker 1>things are actually what was going on? And that the

1:02:13.040 --> 1:02:15.480
<v Speaker 1>value the wide receiver too, I think I'm getting is

1:02:15.560 --> 1:02:18.440
<v Speaker 1>more like a wide receiver for And there is concern

1:02:18.520 --> 1:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>with Matt Stafford's elbow. Yes, yeah, yeah, there's There's a

1:02:21.920 --> 1:02:24.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of things that could actually be going wrong here

1:02:24.080 --> 1:02:28.360
<v Speaker 1>and I'm choosing not to see them. One of the

1:02:28.440 --> 1:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>things that I'm laying awake at night worrying about, what

1:02:32.120 --> 1:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>if the Bears offense doesn't self destruct from the offensive

1:02:36.200 --> 1:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>line backwards, which is the rearly the thinking I think

1:02:39.440 --> 1:02:44.960
<v Speaker 1>for all, Yeah, this offensive line is so bad commercially

1:02:45.200 --> 1:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>bears on any of my teams. But what if it

1:02:47.680 --> 1:02:51.080
<v Speaker 1>turns out that maybe offensive line is not as important

1:02:51.120 --> 1:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>as we think it is. Maybe Justin Fields is just

1:02:53.880 --> 1:02:56.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna scramble that much more and run that much more,

1:02:57.040 --> 1:02:59.720
<v Speaker 1>and that he's going to be a very serviceable fantasy

1:02:59.800 --> 1:03:03.600
<v Speaker 1>court About if Alex Leatherwood uh by them? What what

1:03:03.720 --> 1:03:07.760
<v Speaker 1>if he turns into the Vikings Raiders Dan Carlson version, right, right,

1:03:08.000 --> 1:03:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean what that maybe the Bears aren't gonna be

1:03:11.280 --> 1:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, basically, I've got him pegged as the worst

1:03:13.600 --> 1:03:15.720
<v Speaker 1>offense or one of the worst offense. What if I'm

1:03:15.760 --> 1:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>completely wrong that offensiveive line matters this much, Brian, what

1:03:21.200 --> 1:03:24.440
<v Speaker 1>else is keeping you up nights? Well? I said, Uh,

1:03:24.560 --> 1:03:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I peacocked off that se Kwan Barkley will finish his

1:03:28.360 --> 1:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>RB one. Let's just say I could be wrong that

1:03:30.760 --> 1:03:33.480
<v Speaker 1>he finishes as a top five back at the very least. Uh,

1:03:34.120 --> 1:03:36.040
<v Speaker 1>for the reasons. The reasons I think he could be

1:03:36.160 --> 1:03:38.320
<v Speaker 1>RB one is he's two years removed from the major

1:03:38.520 --> 1:03:41.840
<v Speaker 1>knee injury. The offensive line is much improved in New York.

1:03:41.880 --> 1:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>They have a new head coach, offensive mind of Brian Dable,

1:03:44.000 --> 1:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>former offensive according for the Bills. But what if Barkley,

1:03:47.680 --> 1:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>even though he's still young, what if he just we've

1:03:49.840 --> 1:03:51.320
<v Speaker 1>seen the best room him and that was his in

1:03:51.400 --> 1:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>his rookie year and the Giant What if the Giants

1:03:53.240 --> 1:03:56.040
<v Speaker 1>offense is continues to be inept. They're they're pretty weak

1:03:56.360 --> 1:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>at wide receiver, Barkley might see a ton of stack boxes.

1:03:59.240 --> 1:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>But uh, still very optimistic for sake Kwon Barkley. But

1:04:02.120 --> 1:04:03.919
<v Speaker 1>I could be wrong about this, and it's gonna sting

1:04:03.960 --> 1:04:06.000
<v Speaker 1>because I'm starting to take him in the late first

1:04:06.120 --> 1:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>round and even earlier if I've been earlier draft pick.

1:04:08.560 --> 1:04:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I just think this ceiling is sky high. And once again,

1:04:12.160 --> 1:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>you're going back to you. Okay, you get if if

1:04:15.840 --> 1:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm we're saying we might be wrong about things. So

1:04:18.320 --> 1:04:20.720
<v Speaker 1>I have to say why I thought i'm or why

1:04:20.760 --> 1:04:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm adicating for this. That's fair, Scott. What is keeping

1:04:24.360 --> 1:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>you awake at night? What might you be wrong to see?

1:04:26.640 --> 1:04:28.280
<v Speaker 1>These things aren't give me awake at night? But what

1:04:28.360 --> 1:04:31.440
<v Speaker 1>if I'm wrong? On Miles Sanders, He's been borderline undraftable

1:04:31.520 --> 1:04:33.680
<v Speaker 1>for me. I have zero of him in any of

1:04:33.800 --> 1:04:36.160
<v Speaker 1>my leagues. He hasn't involved much in the passing game.

1:04:36.480 --> 1:04:38.920
<v Speaker 1>He's barely averaged to catches per game over the last

1:04:39.000 --> 1:04:41.280
<v Speaker 1>two seasons. He doesn't get goal of line work. He's

1:04:41.320 --> 1:04:43.720
<v Speaker 1>had six rush attempts inside the five last year out

1:04:43.760 --> 1:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>of forty three attempts from the team. Um. He even

1:04:47.240 --> 1:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>says don't draft him, but there he caught fifty balls

1:04:53.000 --> 1:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>his rookie year and he was super efficient catching the ball.

1:04:55.960 --> 1:04:58.480
<v Speaker 1>What if he reclaims that role? He might be the

1:04:58.800 --> 1:05:01.520
<v Speaker 1>RB one on an offense that I think is primed

1:05:01.600 --> 1:05:04.080
<v Speaker 1>to take off. I think Jalen Hurts is gonna have

1:05:04.200 --> 1:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>a good year and take that offense off. And what

1:05:07.080 --> 1:05:09.200
<v Speaker 1>if he's the RB one? What if he does become

1:05:09.240 --> 1:05:12.080
<v Speaker 1>that goal line back like Eckler, who didn't get goal

1:05:12.120 --> 1:05:14.360
<v Speaker 1>line snaps and then all of a sudden did. We

1:05:14.520 --> 1:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>might be looking at the RB one on a really

1:05:16.560 --> 1:05:19.600
<v Speaker 1>good offense that I've just completely avoided because of what

1:05:19.760 --> 1:05:23.400
<v Speaker 1>happened the last two years. Very fair, Very fair. I

1:05:23.520 --> 1:05:25.720
<v Speaker 1>might be wrong about cam Akers. I've talked about it

1:05:25.760 --> 1:05:28.320
<v Speaker 1>a million times on the show. Nobody's come back from

1:05:28.600 --> 1:05:30.720
<v Speaker 1>running back, to come back from a torn achilles to

1:05:30.760 --> 1:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>have a productive career, um numerous at least one report

1:05:34.640 --> 1:05:37.000
<v Speaker 1>that I've seen suggesting cam Akers had some kind of

1:05:37.120 --> 1:05:40.680
<v Speaker 1>new fangled procedure that might have yield better results, and

1:05:40.760 --> 1:05:43.040
<v Speaker 1>that new that new procedure is what let him come

1:05:43.080 --> 1:05:45.000
<v Speaker 1>back as fast as he did for the playoff run

1:05:45.520 --> 1:05:49.600
<v Speaker 1>last year. I hope I am wrong to mean this

1:05:49.680 --> 1:05:51.320
<v Speaker 1>is the thing. I hope I'm wrong about. I hope

1:05:51.360 --> 1:05:54.160
<v Speaker 1>cam Akers has a great career. But I've been I've

1:05:54.160 --> 1:05:56.560
<v Speaker 1>been off of him. I've been drafting Darrell Henderson or

1:05:56.640 --> 1:05:59.840
<v Speaker 1>just avoiding that whole backfield for all you know, for

1:05:59.920 --> 1:06:03.439
<v Speaker 1>the this entire year. And cam Akers might be the first,

1:06:03.520 --> 1:06:05.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's the first running back in the history of

1:06:05.200 --> 1:06:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the NFL to be productive after the Achilles Brian, what

1:06:10.040 --> 1:06:13.600
<v Speaker 1>might you be wrong about? I've been banging the drums

1:06:13.680 --> 1:06:16.880
<v Speaker 1>since the spring saying Dallas Goddard is going going to

1:06:17.000 --> 1:06:19.520
<v Speaker 1>join the tight End Elite this year. Um. I might

1:06:19.560 --> 1:06:21.600
<v Speaker 1>be wrong about that though, but all all the metrics

1:06:21.640 --> 1:06:23.400
<v Speaker 1>were there. I won't go into them. I've said a

1:06:23.480 --> 1:06:25.360
<v Speaker 1>multiple times on this show, but he just didn't see

1:06:25.400 --> 1:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>the volume last season with Philly, um zach Ertz has

1:06:28.600 --> 1:06:30.480
<v Speaker 1>gone now, so that helps his cause. But A J.

1:06:30.640 --> 1:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Browns and Town Philadelphia also has an arguably the one

1:06:35.040 --> 1:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>of the best, the best defense or one of the

1:06:37.200 --> 1:06:39.840
<v Speaker 1>best defenses in the NFL. Now, maybe they're not going

1:06:39.880 --> 1:06:41.840
<v Speaker 1>to be involved in a ton of shootouts. They might

1:06:41.880 --> 1:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>be a more run heavy team, but yeah, Davante Smith

1:06:44.480 --> 1:06:47.240
<v Speaker 1>A J. Brown are gonna soak up targets. Uh. You

1:06:47.320 --> 1:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>know they've got good running backs in Miles Sanders, Keneth Ganewell,

1:06:50.040 --> 1:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>and Baston Scott. So if Dallas Goddard doesn't see the volume,

1:06:54.840 --> 1:06:56.480
<v Speaker 1>he won't join the tight end Elite. But I still

1:06:56.520 --> 1:06:58.320
<v Speaker 1>think he will so, but I still could be wrong

1:06:58.360 --> 1:07:02.400
<v Speaker 1>about that. Scott, what might you be wrong about? I'm

1:07:02.480 --> 1:07:05.040
<v Speaker 1>going over to Adam Felan, and I hate to say

1:07:05.080 --> 1:07:07.280
<v Speaker 1>this because I'm a Vikings fan and we have beat

1:07:07.360 --> 1:07:11.640
<v Speaker 1>this drum but that best end zone conversion right in

1:07:11.680 --> 1:07:14.840
<v Speaker 1>the NFL over the last two years, um those you know,

1:07:14.920 --> 1:07:17.560
<v Speaker 1>ten touchdowns and eleven healthy fall games. He's gotten hurt

1:07:17.600 --> 1:07:20.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot recently. He could he could just be in

1:07:20.560 --> 1:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>his thirties and starting to get hurt more. This Kevin

1:07:23.080 --> 1:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>O'Connell offense. They fed Cooper Cup in the end zone.

1:07:26.920 --> 1:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>We we don't know that Adam DeLand roll Theelan's role

1:07:30.240 --> 1:07:32.400
<v Speaker 1>is going to stay the same in that area that

1:07:32.520 --> 1:07:36.240
<v Speaker 1>it was in the Zimmer regime. It might be justin

1:07:36.320 --> 1:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Jefferson in the Cooper Cup role taking those end zone targets.

1:07:40.080 --> 1:07:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Like with Kevin O'Connell's offense. What if k j Osborne

1:07:44.400 --> 1:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>steps up more than we think? What if Cook lining

1:07:47.240 --> 1:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>up outside like he's doing takes more receptions than we

1:07:49.840 --> 1:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>think and more short stuff which Adam theland does. I

1:07:53.600 --> 1:07:57.280
<v Speaker 1>could be wrong about Adam Felan, and uh it scares

1:07:57.320 --> 1:08:00.360
<v Speaker 1>me because I got him everywhere. I don't think I

1:08:00.400 --> 1:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>am though. I don't think you are either well hopefully

1:08:04.080 --> 1:08:07.520
<v Speaker 1>hopefully you're exactly wrong, or well you're right, uh and

1:08:07.760 --> 1:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>wrong about being wrong. I might be wrong about that

1:08:11.600 --> 1:08:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Bucks offense. What if Tom Brady is just as magical

1:08:15.000 --> 1:08:18.160
<v Speaker 1>and timeless as ever. What if all of the things

1:08:18.240 --> 1:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>that have gone wrong around Tom Brady this year, what

1:08:21.680 --> 1:08:23.400
<v Speaker 1>if they don't matter? What if they just don't matter

1:08:23.520 --> 1:08:27.439
<v Speaker 1>because it's Tom freaking Brady. When you know, and we've

1:08:27.520 --> 1:08:30.640
<v Speaker 1>talked already on this show, all the discounted prices on

1:08:30.800 --> 1:08:34.920
<v Speaker 1>all of these buccaneers. Everybody's worried, offensive lines and shambles.

1:08:35.360 --> 1:08:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Chris Goodwin's trying to come back from an a c

1:08:37.240 --> 1:08:40.200
<v Speaker 1>L lost grong, this you know, lost her head coach,

1:08:40.320 --> 1:08:42.840
<v Speaker 1>so many things that have gone wrong. But what if

1:08:42.880 --> 1:08:48.519
<v Speaker 1>it just doesn't matter because it's Tom Brady. Yep, he's

1:08:48.560 --> 1:08:52.280
<v Speaker 1>looking a little frail. Since it's uh, Philip peaked, that

1:08:52.800 --> 1:08:54.880
<v Speaker 1>makes it a burger too, would you you know? You

1:08:54.960 --> 1:08:57.880
<v Speaker 1>might well, that's not part of the burger is really

1:08:57.920 --> 1:09:01.519
<v Speaker 1>part of the t V eight experience. We've never determined

1:09:01.560 --> 1:09:04.960
<v Speaker 1>where he went right. He never disclosed that. No, we

1:09:05.080 --> 1:09:08.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know now, even though he came back looking like

1:09:08.280 --> 1:09:11.839
<v Speaker 1>he had half of his face stuck that anything else, anybody,

1:09:11.880 --> 1:09:14.160
<v Speaker 1>anything else? Leaving you guys awake? I got one more,

1:09:14.600 --> 1:09:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll drop one more. Uh cool? Comet. I've been all

1:09:17.960 --> 1:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>over him off the drafting everywhere as my second tight end,

1:09:21.280 --> 1:09:23.040
<v Speaker 1>and if I've punted it, I've taken him in the

1:09:23.120 --> 1:09:25.920
<v Speaker 1>eighth or ninth. He had sixty receptions on ninety three

1:09:25.960 --> 1:09:29.760
<v Speaker 1>targets and limited work fighting off Jimmy Graham and Jesse James.

1:09:29.960 --> 1:09:31.960
<v Speaker 1>And if you think they didn't weren't taking much, they

1:09:32.000 --> 1:09:34.519
<v Speaker 1>were combining for like forty five snaps a game the

1:09:34.600 --> 1:09:38.479
<v Speaker 1>last few weeks, etcetera. Uh, both are gone now he's

1:09:38.520 --> 1:09:40.960
<v Speaker 1>the third year tight end Allen Robinson has gone. Now.

1:09:41.000 --> 1:09:43.120
<v Speaker 1>In fact, the Bears lost their second, third, and fourth

1:09:43.920 --> 1:09:45.840
<v Speaker 1>or no, not their second. They lost three of their

1:09:45.920 --> 1:09:49.240
<v Speaker 1>top five target getters. Um, I've been all over it.

1:09:49.640 --> 1:09:51.960
<v Speaker 1>But what if the offense, like we've talked about with

1:09:52.000 --> 1:09:54.200
<v Speaker 1>the Bears, and Matt talked about this as a bus

1:09:54.320 --> 1:09:57.280
<v Speaker 1>candidate last week. What if it's just completely an emic?

1:09:57.760 --> 1:10:00.200
<v Speaker 1>What if this offense he didn't score any touched owns

1:10:00.280 --> 1:10:02.160
<v Speaker 1>last year because they didn't get him in the red

1:10:02.240 --> 1:10:05.439
<v Speaker 1>zone enough. What if that's the offense. So I'm laying

1:10:05.439 --> 1:10:08.559
<v Speaker 1>awake because the Bears offense might be better than I thought.

1:10:08.600 --> 1:10:10.639
<v Speaker 1>You're laying away because the Bears offense might be worse,

1:10:10.960 --> 1:10:16.640
<v Speaker 1>you thought, Yeah, exactly. That's also they passed it one

1:10:16.640 --> 1:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>of the lowest rates inside the inside the ten last year,

1:10:19.200 --> 1:10:21.280
<v Speaker 1>and that's where tight ends make their hay. That is true.

1:10:21.600 --> 1:10:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I think they may have been the run heaviest team,

1:10:24.880 --> 1:10:26.760
<v Speaker 1>or if they were, it must be close to that.

1:10:27.080 --> 1:10:29.639
<v Speaker 1>It was a two to one run pass ratio. It's

1:10:29.640 --> 1:10:33.360
<v Speaker 1>not the five um last one I'll say. That's left

1:10:33.840 --> 1:10:36.000
<v Speaker 1>made me wonder a little bit. And I've passed on

1:10:36.040 --> 1:10:40.519
<v Speaker 1>Antonio Gibson like in my various leagues a hundred times.

1:10:41.000 --> 1:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, what, what if he responds to all these challenges?

1:10:44.400 --> 1:10:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Well he was the what if he is the player

1:10:46.160 --> 1:10:48.240
<v Speaker 1>we hoped he would be at this time last year,

1:10:48.560 --> 1:10:50.519
<v Speaker 1>and now Brian Robinson's out of the picture through no

1:10:50.600 --> 1:10:54.000
<v Speaker 1>fault of his own, and he just houses the main

1:10:54.160 --> 1:10:57.799
<v Speaker 1>running back job commanders all year. So they released Jared Patterson,

1:10:57.840 --> 1:11:02.200
<v Speaker 1>they're clearly comfortable with they are with him and Gibson absolutely.

1:11:02.880 --> 1:11:09.320
<v Speaker 1>When we come back Thursday night, preview Yeah Game, Fantasy

1:11:09.360 --> 1:11:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Football Weekly Style and releasing our final sleepers of the preseason.

1:11:13.360 --> 1:11:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. Coming up next final

1:11:37.280 --> 1:11:41.200
<v Speaker 1>segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchi and Scott Fish

1:11:41.439 --> 1:11:45.479
<v Speaker 1>and Brian Johnson with you. There's a brand new way

1:11:45.560 --> 1:11:49.680
<v Speaker 1>to play Guillotine least called zombie Mode. The idea is

1:11:49.760 --> 1:11:52.960
<v Speaker 1>for anybody who's been nervous about joining a guillotine league

1:11:53.000 --> 1:11:54.720
<v Speaker 1>because you don't want to get chopped. You don't want

1:11:54.720 --> 1:11:57.120
<v Speaker 1>to have a five week experience, I have your season

1:11:57.200 --> 1:12:00.280
<v Speaker 1>and early instead of getting chopped, you joined the bombie

1:12:00.360 --> 1:12:03.559
<v Speaker 1>horde that stays alive and continues to pester and ultimately

1:12:03.640 --> 1:12:07.400
<v Speaker 1>try to kill off the human surviving teams and perhaps

1:12:07.520 --> 1:12:13.320
<v Speaker 1>ultimately the end of the year, retain regain your humanity. Yeah,

1:12:13.520 --> 1:12:16.160
<v Speaker 1>in a nutshell, if you get chopped and become a zombie,

1:12:16.200 --> 1:12:18.880
<v Speaker 1>you lose your whole team, but you still maintain whatever

1:12:19.520 --> 1:12:21.920
<v Speaker 1>fab you have le half half your fab, but you

1:12:22.000 --> 1:12:24.200
<v Speaker 1>just got to build a whole new team. Yep. With

1:12:24.640 --> 1:12:26.519
<v Speaker 1>you get the bit on players just like the humans do.

1:12:26.680 --> 1:12:29.519
<v Speaker 1>And then you had ad a free agents via first come,

1:12:29.600 --> 1:12:32.400
<v Speaker 1>first serve. But uh yeah, you can earn your way

1:12:32.439 --> 1:12:35.120
<v Speaker 1>back into the human race. And every time the zombies

1:12:35.200 --> 1:12:37.679
<v Speaker 1>take down a human, half of the FAB gets spread

1:12:37.720 --> 1:12:40.560
<v Speaker 1>among all the zombies, and I think before long is

1:12:40.560 --> 1:12:42.280
<v Speaker 1>obviously you have more FAB than the humans have got

1:12:42.760 --> 1:12:45.880
<v Speaker 1>and so the zombies have some real pathways to getting

1:12:45.920 --> 1:12:49.479
<v Speaker 1>back and getting strong, which we love. It's conceptually it's

1:12:49.479 --> 1:12:53.840
<v Speaker 1>like they're eating brains of the humans, brains brains. Let's

1:12:53.880 --> 1:12:56.880
<v Speaker 1>talk through our final set of sleepers for this preseason.

1:12:56.960 --> 1:12:59.759
<v Speaker 1>We've already given out. This will be a four different

1:12:59.800 --> 1:13:01.920
<v Speaker 1>sets of them. This will be our fifth Scott, you

1:13:01.960 --> 1:13:04.519
<v Speaker 1>want to go first? Who is your final sleeper? Sure,

1:13:04.680 --> 1:13:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm going. I'm going with one of those UH teammates,

1:13:08.920 --> 1:13:11.120
<v Speaker 1>a DP guys where I wanted the lower guy and

1:13:11.439 --> 1:13:13.720
<v Speaker 1>more and more every week I'm wanting the lower guy.

1:13:13.840 --> 1:13:17.080
<v Speaker 1>It's Darrell Henderson going in the eleventh round. We're talking

1:13:17.120 --> 1:13:19.920
<v Speaker 1>about a guy when healthy last year averaged five point

1:13:20.000 --> 1:13:23.280
<v Speaker 1>seven yards per carry in fourteen point seven yards per reception.

1:13:24.000 --> 1:13:27.000
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty darn good. That's actually really effective. In his

1:13:27.200 --> 1:13:29.400
<v Speaker 1>nine games where he had ten or more touches, he

1:13:29.520 --> 1:13:33.840
<v Speaker 1>scored eight times, averaging eighties seven total yards. That's pretty

1:13:33.920 --> 1:13:36.200
<v Speaker 1>dang good for an eleventh rounder. If he can find

1:13:36.280 --> 1:13:41.200
<v Speaker 1>his way to ten plus touches utinely this year, which

1:13:41.400 --> 1:13:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I think he will, he's a pretty effective flex play.

1:13:45.080 --> 1:13:50.559
<v Speaker 1>Especially in good matchups. You're getting in the double digit rounds, Brian,

1:13:50.960 --> 1:13:54.320
<v Speaker 1>your final sleeper of the preseason, I'm going with Bill's

1:13:54.479 --> 1:13:58.719
<v Speaker 1>rookie wide receiver Khalil Shakier, drafted in the fifth round

1:13:58.800 --> 1:14:01.240
<v Speaker 1>out of Boise State at he was tagged with that

1:14:01.400 --> 1:14:05.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of small school stigma maybe little little in the draft,

1:14:05.240 --> 1:14:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and technically he's wide receiver five right now on the

1:14:07.200 --> 1:14:09.960
<v Speaker 1>depth chart, but outside of Stephan Diggs, he's the only

1:14:10.000 --> 1:14:11.960
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver I think we can play on the outside

1:14:12.240 --> 1:14:14.639
<v Speaker 1>and in the slot. So if something were to happen

1:14:14.680 --> 1:14:16.800
<v Speaker 1>to Digs or Gabe Davis, I think he slides right

1:14:16.840 --> 1:14:19.799
<v Speaker 1>into the starting lineup there. And now I say, Mackenzie,

1:14:19.880 --> 1:14:21.599
<v Speaker 1>we like, we like him on the show, but he's

1:14:21.640 --> 1:14:24.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven years old and he's like five eight hundred

1:14:24.960 --> 1:14:26.800
<v Speaker 1>and seventy pounds. I don't know if he's gonna last

1:14:26.840 --> 1:14:31.280
<v Speaker 1>a whole season. He's only caught passes in his five

1:14:31.400 --> 1:14:33.960
<v Speaker 1>year career. He's never been he's never been a full

1:14:34.000 --> 1:14:37.880
<v Speaker 1>time starter. And Jamison Crowder is just a guy. That's

1:14:37.920 --> 1:14:40.640
<v Speaker 1>a proven fact. So Shakira, if he gets it's a

1:14:40.720 --> 1:14:43.680
<v Speaker 1>proven fact that he's a guy, that's that's about all

1:14:43.760 --> 1:14:46.160
<v Speaker 1>he has going for. Because are you saying he openly

1:14:46.200 --> 1:14:48.679
<v Speaker 1>identifies a male. I'm not going there, but I will

1:14:48.680 --> 1:14:52.160
<v Speaker 1>tell you this. Kail Shaker leads all players in the preseason,

1:14:52.240 --> 1:14:54.840
<v Speaker 1>all wide receivers. I know not all the big names

1:14:54.880 --> 1:14:56.880
<v Speaker 1>are playing in the preseason, but he leads all wide

1:14:56.920 --> 1:14:59.680
<v Speaker 1>receivers uh in catches of fifteen plus e ards. So

1:14:59.760 --> 1:15:02.880
<v Speaker 1>he's he looks explosive and if given opportunity in that

1:15:02.960 --> 1:15:05.599
<v Speaker 1>Bill's offense, he could uh be a difference maker. That's

1:15:05.600 --> 1:15:09.360
<v Speaker 1>a deep sleeper. I like it. I am going with

1:15:10.040 --> 1:15:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota wide receiver kJ Osborne. Now Osborne, it has been

1:15:17.120 --> 1:15:19.120
<v Speaker 1>in the league now for two years. This will be

1:15:19.240 --> 1:15:23.479
<v Speaker 1>his his third year. His first year, kJ Osborne did

1:15:23.600 --> 1:15:27.680
<v Speaker 1>not see the field, not one play it as a

1:15:27.760 --> 1:15:31.439
<v Speaker 1>rookie and rolls into his sophomore year, b C. Johnson

1:15:31.560 --> 1:15:33.920
<v Speaker 1>is going to be the third receiver. But then b C.

1:15:34.080 --> 1:15:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Johnson tears his A C L and suddenly kJ Osborne

1:15:37.120 --> 1:15:42.639
<v Speaker 1>gets gets thrust into a meaningful role in the Vikings offense.

1:15:42.960 --> 1:15:47.599
<v Speaker 1>Last year, what happens. He puts up the best season

1:15:47.680 --> 1:15:51.080
<v Speaker 1>of any Vikings third receiver in the history of the club.

1:15:51.600 --> 1:15:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Seven hundred yards and seven touchdowns for kJ Osborne. Yes

1:15:59.240 --> 1:16:04.160
<v Speaker 1>and last see in effectively his rookie year. Uh. Last year,

1:16:04.200 --> 1:16:06.400
<v Speaker 1>as I mentioned, was effectively his rookie eor So he's

1:16:06.520 --> 1:16:09.719
<v Speaker 1>effectively kind of kJ osmarine into his sophomore year, second

1:16:09.800 --> 1:16:12.439
<v Speaker 1>year as a starter. So he's got room to get better,

1:16:12.800 --> 1:16:17.759
<v Speaker 1>maybe a lot better. And maybe the gap between kJ

1:16:17.920 --> 1:16:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Osborne and Theelan Jefferson is less than we think it is.

1:16:23.400 --> 1:16:27.519
<v Speaker 1>He might be a better receiver than we realize. I

1:16:27.600 --> 1:16:29.439
<v Speaker 1>was gonna say, I almost went with Hassan Jones, but

1:16:29.479 --> 1:16:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that would have been too deep. That

1:16:31.439 --> 1:16:33.519
<v Speaker 1>is deep for most of our listening audience here, So

1:16:33.600 --> 1:16:36.240
<v Speaker 1>you're not concerned about Jalen reader. No, I have not

1:16:36.360 --> 1:16:40.720
<v Speaker 1>no return man. The Mike Zimmer's gone. It's Kevin O'Connell here.

1:16:40.760 --> 1:16:44.519
<v Speaker 1>Now he's going to Kjosmoe will run out of the

1:16:44.600 --> 1:16:49.200
<v Speaker 1>slot for Kevin O'Connell. The last receiver to run out

1:16:49.200 --> 1:16:53.920
<v Speaker 1>of this for Kevin O'Connell was Cooper Cup. So triple

1:16:54.000 --> 1:16:59.519
<v Speaker 1>crown obviously coming for kJ Osborne. Um. Okay, So seriously,

1:16:59.520 --> 1:17:01.479
<v Speaker 1>you'll be the receiving option. But who's to say that

1:17:01.600 --> 1:17:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota is gonna be a low volume passing offense anymore.

1:17:04.160 --> 1:17:06.760
<v Speaker 1>The third receiver option or Kevin O'Connell might be very good.

1:17:07.000 --> 1:17:09.400
<v Speaker 1>O'Connor knows how to scheme open players in the slot.

1:17:10.040 --> 1:17:14.160
<v Speaker 1>kJ Osborne, nobody's really talking about him. Going right now,

1:17:14.400 --> 1:17:18.439
<v Speaker 1>pick one hundred eighty off the board. I think that's

1:17:18.439 --> 1:17:21.799
<v Speaker 1>a lot of value for k j Osborne. My final

1:17:21.920 --> 1:17:28.960
<v Speaker 1>sleeper for this year this coming Thursday, is there a

1:17:29.040 --> 1:17:33.360
<v Speaker 1>game NFL Action. Uh, It's finally here. We've been talking

1:17:33.400 --> 1:17:36.840
<v Speaker 1>about it forever whole off season. We're finally going to

1:17:36.920 --> 1:17:41.799
<v Speaker 1>have our first game now as regular listeners to Fantasy

1:17:41.840 --> 1:17:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Football Weekly, No, once we get into the season, we

1:17:43.800 --> 1:17:46.719
<v Speaker 1>break down every game fantasy style. We give letter grades

1:17:47.240 --> 1:17:51.439
<v Speaker 1>A B, C or bench grade to all of the

1:17:51.479 --> 1:17:54.960
<v Speaker 1>fantasy fantasy relevant players from the this year, for the

1:17:55.160 --> 1:18:01.639
<v Speaker 1>first year in our your history, we are adding pluses.

1:18:01.720 --> 1:18:06.879
<v Speaker 1>And now, the thing about this game, it's a Buffalo

1:18:07.280 --> 1:18:10.360
<v Speaker 1>versus l A and it's in l A. Oh my god.

1:18:10.439 --> 1:18:13.960
<v Speaker 1>These are arguably the two best defenses in the NFL.

1:18:14.520 --> 1:18:17.519
<v Speaker 1>That's what this thing is. There's going to be a

1:18:17.680 --> 1:18:21.200
<v Speaker 1>real chance that there's some frustrated people who feel like

1:18:21.280 --> 1:18:24.759
<v Speaker 1>they drafted well and they invested into high profile players

1:18:24.800 --> 1:18:28.160
<v Speaker 1>from two good offenses that end up getting very little

1:18:28.840 --> 1:18:31.200
<v Speaker 1>in this first Thursday night game. So a's for the

1:18:31.280 --> 1:18:36.000
<v Speaker 1>defenses and the kickers maybe the case. So these defenses

1:18:36.080 --> 1:18:39.799
<v Speaker 1>ranked number one and number two in passing touchdowns allowed

1:18:39.880 --> 1:18:44.840
<v Speaker 1>last year. I don't have an A grade on anybody

1:18:45.240 --> 1:18:48.519
<v Speaker 1>in this game. Oh my lord. Yes, and Buffalo was

1:18:48.560 --> 1:18:51.280
<v Speaker 1>without trade Devious White All Pro corner for correct good

1:18:51.280 --> 1:18:54.400
<v Speaker 1>amount of the season and they were stifling and they're

1:18:54.400 --> 1:18:59.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna be without him as well for this game. I

1:19:00.040 --> 1:19:02.560
<v Speaker 1>of that. You're saying, bench Josh Allen, That's really not

1:19:02.680 --> 1:19:05.080
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. He does come in with a B

1:19:05.320 --> 1:19:08.519
<v Speaker 1>grade here. The Rams allow of the sixth fewest fantasy

1:19:08.560 --> 1:19:11.840
<v Speaker 1>points at quarterbacks last year. Secondary got a little better

1:19:12.200 --> 1:19:15.160
<v Speaker 1>with the return of Troy Hill. Cornerback Troy Hill. He

1:19:15.240 --> 1:19:16.880
<v Speaker 1>was very good in l A last year. He man.

1:19:17.280 --> 1:19:19.240
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk more about him in a minute. The Rams

1:19:19.280 --> 1:19:24.200
<v Speaker 1>allowed the second fewest passing touchdowns last year. No opposing

1:19:24.280 --> 1:19:28.840
<v Speaker 1>quarterback all year against the Rams. Top two touchdowns that

1:19:28.960 --> 1:19:32.800
<v Speaker 1>includes Tom Brady Aaron Rodgers guys are just two touchdowns.

1:19:33.439 --> 1:19:36.160
<v Speaker 1>We did see mobile quarterbacks ding the Rams a little

1:19:36.160 --> 1:19:39.160
<v Speaker 1>bit on the ground, including Kyler Murray and Tyler Huntley,

1:19:39.320 --> 1:19:42.840
<v Speaker 1>who boast top both top fifty rushing yards against Los

1:19:42.920 --> 1:19:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Angeles at the end of the season, and Josh Allen

1:19:45.040 --> 1:19:48.640
<v Speaker 1>can always be effective on the ground, but an explosive

1:19:48.720 --> 1:19:53.120
<v Speaker 1>game seems very unlikely against a very good Rams secondary.

1:19:53.600 --> 1:19:56.400
<v Speaker 1>So just the B grade on Josh Allen. Hopefully he

1:19:56.479 --> 1:19:58.600
<v Speaker 1>chips in with his legs. Let's go to his some

1:19:58.760 --> 1:20:04.840
<v Speaker 1>of his receiving targets like Stephen Diggs Rams as mentioned earlier,

1:20:05.000 --> 1:20:07.360
<v Speaker 1>very good past defense. Jalen Ramsey, of course, is the

1:20:07.720 --> 1:20:11.439
<v Speaker 1>signature player there. Ramsey shadows a lot and Diggs will

1:20:11.520 --> 1:20:15.160
<v Speaker 1>likely get most of his attention when these seems met.

1:20:15.200 --> 1:20:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Two years ago, Digs shook Ramsey by lining up in

1:20:18.200 --> 1:20:20.720
<v Speaker 1>the slot for much of that game, and there he

1:20:20.800 --> 1:20:23.680
<v Speaker 1>found success, and he posted four catches, fifty yards and

1:20:23.760 --> 1:20:27.120
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown, primarily by running in the slot. Ramsey does

1:20:27.200 --> 1:20:30.720
<v Speaker 1>not follow into the slot typically. Um Ramsey wasn't quite

1:20:30.720 --> 1:20:32.479
<v Speaker 1>as good last year as he was the previous season,

1:20:32.720 --> 1:20:34.920
<v Speaker 1>but he still only gave up average per game averages

1:20:34.960 --> 1:20:39.400
<v Speaker 1>of twenty nine yards and zero point two touchdowns per game.

1:20:39.800 --> 1:20:41.800
<v Speaker 1>So they may have to move Digs around a little

1:20:41.800 --> 1:20:44.639
<v Speaker 1>bit to get him to shake Ramsey. And that's your

1:20:44.720 --> 1:20:48.240
<v Speaker 1>upside play on Diggs. Your downside play is kind of

1:20:48.320 --> 1:20:50.639
<v Speaker 1>what Ramsey usually gives up twenty nine yards and point

1:20:50.680 --> 1:20:52.880
<v Speaker 1>two touchdowns, which would be obviously be a very down

1:20:52.960 --> 1:20:56.240
<v Speaker 1>game for Diggs. Just to the B grade on Diggs.

1:20:56.280 --> 1:20:58.240
<v Speaker 1>You'll start him and I would too. But keep your

1:20:58.840 --> 1:21:04.760
<v Speaker 1>keep your expectations. Yes, thank you, thank you. Let's talk

1:21:04.760 --> 1:21:10.200
<v Speaker 1>about Gabriel Damped even better. We're gonna tamp those expectations. Scott.

1:21:11.600 --> 1:21:14.600
<v Speaker 1>You uh, it's got your big Gabriel Davis guy have

1:21:14.760 --> 1:21:17.839
<v Speaker 1>been for a long time, finally got the big payoff

1:21:17.920 --> 1:21:25.080
<v Speaker 1>in the playoffs. You'll remember perfect right. It's act playoff

1:21:25.120 --> 1:21:27.880
<v Speaker 1>game against Kansas City. Two hundred yards and four touchdowns,

1:21:27.960 --> 1:21:30.320
<v Speaker 1>one of the great playoff performances in the history of

1:21:30.360 --> 1:21:34.400
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. Um If Ramsey is shadowing Digs, which we expect,

1:21:34.960 --> 1:21:38.479
<v Speaker 1>that puts Davis on cornerback David Long. His Profo ball

1:21:38.520 --> 1:21:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Focus grades were middling, but Long actually gave up fewer

1:21:41.439 --> 1:21:44.000
<v Speaker 1>yards and touchdowns on a per game basis than than

1:21:44.160 --> 1:21:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Ramsey did. Just twenty three yards per game and zero

1:21:48.439 --> 1:21:51.080
<v Speaker 1>points zero eight touchdowns per game. You gave up just

1:21:51.200 --> 1:21:55.080
<v Speaker 1>one passing touchdown all year, including the playoffs. David Long

1:21:55.200 --> 1:21:59.160
<v Speaker 1>is is a challenging cornerback as well. I still I

1:21:59.240 --> 1:22:02.040
<v Speaker 1>love Gabriel day of us with the momentum, whatever momentum

1:22:02.120 --> 1:22:04.960
<v Speaker 1>is left from the playoffs, and I still very bullish

1:22:05.000 --> 1:22:06.719
<v Speaker 1>on him for this year. But this is a tough matchup.

1:22:06.840 --> 1:22:09.719
<v Speaker 1>I think there's momentum coming from confidence from Josh Allen

1:22:09.720 --> 1:22:12.639
<v Speaker 1>because when he made Gabriel Davis made that touchdown catch

1:22:12.720 --> 1:22:15.840
<v Speaker 1>in the preseason week too. I believe Josh Allen had

1:22:15.840 --> 1:22:17.960
<v Speaker 1>a quote after the game something like, I threw it

1:22:18.000 --> 1:22:19.640
<v Speaker 1>up because I know Davis is gonna be up there

1:22:19.680 --> 1:22:23.840
<v Speaker 1>out there somewhere. That's pretty nice. Yeah, that is if

1:22:23.880 --> 1:22:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I think Gave Davis is somewhere in the city. I'm

1:22:25.760 --> 1:22:28.040
<v Speaker 1>just gonna throw it up to him. Put an optimistic

1:22:28.120 --> 1:22:30.920
<v Speaker 1>B grade on Davis, but he's got C grade downside

1:22:30.960 --> 1:22:34.160
<v Speaker 1>on him. But I feel like i'd be hard pressed

1:22:34.200 --> 1:22:37.320
<v Speaker 1>to benjam here. I'm giving Dave, Gabriel, Gabriel Davis the

1:22:37.520 --> 1:22:40.960
<v Speaker 1>B grade it. We hope that Isaiah McKenzie is going

1:22:41.000 --> 1:22:43.360
<v Speaker 1>to be able to play. He's nursing an injury right now.

1:22:43.400 --> 1:22:45.320
<v Speaker 1>You want to follow that he will play in the slot.

1:22:45.400 --> 1:22:48.080
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna see Troy Hill. When I mentioned earlier Hill

1:22:48.160 --> 1:22:51.200
<v Speaker 1>returns after basically a lost season in Cleveland last year

1:22:51.280 --> 1:22:55.560
<v Speaker 1>with injury. Hill was very good in the slot for

1:22:55.840 --> 1:22:58.800
<v Speaker 1>l A two years ago, where he was giving up

1:22:58.840 --> 1:23:00.599
<v Speaker 1>just thirty or four yards per game and gave up

1:23:00.640 --> 1:23:04.120
<v Speaker 1>just one touchdown all year while he was in l A.

1:23:04.560 --> 1:23:07.599
<v Speaker 1>I have very something very important to share about Gabriel Davis.

1:23:10.280 --> 1:23:17.320
<v Speaker 1>The Rams selected Van Jefferson over Gabriel Davis. Spike game games,

1:23:17.680 --> 1:23:20.600
<v Speaker 1>all these spike games on the revenge Alright, Sorry, you

1:23:20.680 --> 1:23:21.960
<v Speaker 1>have to have actually been on the team to be

1:23:22.280 --> 1:23:24.840
<v Speaker 1>to qualify as revenge. When you're passed over in the draft,

1:23:25.080 --> 1:23:28.880
<v Speaker 1>it's it's spike game. Um, mackenzie is a burner and

1:23:29.080 --> 1:23:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Hill is decidedly not fast. Uh, and so there's a

1:23:32.800 --> 1:23:35.080
<v Speaker 1>chance McKenzie slips past Hill for a big game. But

1:23:35.200 --> 1:23:38.640
<v Speaker 1>without that, I worry about Hill shutting down mackenzie. I've

1:23:38.680 --> 1:23:41.040
<v Speaker 1>got a C grade on McKenzie. You're going for a

1:23:41.160 --> 1:23:44.360
<v Speaker 1>home run connection, assuming he's able to play in this game.

1:23:45.120 --> 1:23:47.560
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's go to the running backs. Devin Singletary,

1:23:47.800 --> 1:23:51.920
<v Speaker 1>James Cook, Lesser extent, Zack Moss. Rams are good run defense.

1:23:52.320 --> 1:23:56.320
<v Speaker 1>No back topped nine one yards against l A after

1:23:56.439 --> 1:24:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Week four of last year and over those final four games,

1:24:01.280 --> 1:24:04.719
<v Speaker 1>l A only gave up three point four yards per carry.

1:24:05.360 --> 1:24:08.479
<v Speaker 1>That is nothing. They can get dinged a little bit

1:24:08.520 --> 1:24:10.479
<v Speaker 1>through the air, and we saw big games from GEO

1:24:10.600 --> 1:24:13.439
<v Speaker 1>Bernard DeAndre swift Leo for Neette James Conner through the

1:24:13.640 --> 1:24:17.120
<v Speaker 1>air last year. Singletary is an okay receiver. We believe

1:24:17.200 --> 1:24:19.639
<v Speaker 1>James Cook is a pretty good receiver, so maybe Cook

1:24:19.640 --> 1:24:21.960
<v Speaker 1>could be a little bit better here. But I've just

1:24:22.080 --> 1:24:25.200
<v Speaker 1>got C grades on Singletary and Cook, and I don't

1:24:25.240 --> 1:24:28.519
<v Speaker 1>think they will both have C grades, but one or

1:24:28.560 --> 1:24:31.680
<v Speaker 1>the other probably does okay here and the other one

1:24:31.720 --> 1:24:34.360
<v Speaker 1>probably gets very little. And we're gonna leave Zack Moss

1:24:34.760 --> 1:24:36.960
<v Speaker 1>on the bench and just see what happens with him

1:24:36.960 --> 1:24:39.960
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. Also on the bench, tight end, Dawson

1:24:40.040 --> 1:24:43.639
<v Speaker 1>Knox Rams are an above average but not dominating tight

1:24:43.760 --> 1:24:46.599
<v Speaker 1>end defense. Last year, only one opposing tight end top

1:24:46.720 --> 1:24:50.160
<v Speaker 1>sixties six yards all year against the Rams, and it

1:24:50.280 --> 1:24:53.680
<v Speaker 1>was Mark andrews um new Ram. Bobby Wagner could be

1:24:53.720 --> 1:24:57.280
<v Speaker 1>asked to cover knocks offen. Wagner only allowed one touchdown

1:24:57.320 --> 1:25:00.880
<v Speaker 1>in his coverage the past two seasons, and Knox is

1:25:00.920 --> 1:25:04.640
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown dependent tight end, So if Bobby Wagoner is

1:25:04.640 --> 1:25:06.599
<v Speaker 1>going to pick up that assignment. I don't like Dawson

1:25:06.680 --> 1:25:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Knox here because you need that touchdown. I don't think

1:25:08.840 --> 1:25:12.000
<v Speaker 1>he gets it. Um strong safety Jordan Filler, we'll Fuller.

1:25:12.000 --> 1:25:14.439
<v Speaker 1>We'll also get some tight end coverage responsibilities. And he

1:25:14.520 --> 1:25:17.559
<v Speaker 1>didn't give up any touchdowns last year, so we're all

1:25:17.680 --> 1:25:21.040
<v Speaker 1>that together and Dawson Knox is firmly on the bench.

1:25:21.960 --> 1:25:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you guys think of being overly pessimistic about my

1:25:24.800 --> 1:25:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Bills analysis here? No? No, I think I think it's

1:25:29.000 --> 1:25:33.479
<v Speaker 1>fair given the tough matchups on defense, It's it's fair.

1:25:33.640 --> 1:25:35.479
<v Speaker 1>I I feel like a lot of people are going

1:25:35.600 --> 1:25:38.000
<v Speaker 1>to want to start a many like they're because they're

1:25:38.000 --> 1:25:40.080
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna start because it's Week one of the fantasy

1:25:40.120 --> 1:25:42.160
<v Speaker 1>season and they're year starters. So and a lot of

1:25:42.200 --> 1:25:44.280
<v Speaker 1>people think Bills have the best offense in the NFL.

1:25:44.360 --> 1:25:46.880
<v Speaker 1>It's like, yeah, like that, you're holding down the expectations.

1:25:46.960 --> 1:25:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Though Cooper cup and Ellen Robinson get b grades, the

1:25:50.240 --> 1:25:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Bills were last year's best overall past defense, allowing the

1:25:53.720 --> 1:25:57.240
<v Speaker 1>fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers, and it was not close.

1:25:57.840 --> 1:26:00.439
<v Speaker 1>They only allowed They ranked number one in touch sounds allowed.

1:26:00.439 --> 1:26:03.600
<v Speaker 1>To receivers. Get this, they give up six touchdowns to

1:26:03.640 --> 1:26:06.639
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers. Last year, they were number one in yards allowed,

1:26:06.720 --> 1:26:10.360
<v Speaker 1>barely one hundred yards per game to impose opposing entire

1:26:10.479 --> 1:26:13.360
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver groups. So imagine you know, Cooper Cupp and

1:26:13.360 --> 1:26:15.639
<v Speaker 1>Allen Robinson will probably combined for more than a hundred,

1:26:15.640 --> 1:26:19.080
<v Speaker 1>but still says a lot. Um. Robinson may have an

1:26:19.120 --> 1:26:22.360
<v Speaker 1>advantage because Bill's cornerback tra Davious White not expected to

1:26:22.360 --> 1:26:24.720
<v Speaker 1>play Brian as we were talking earlier. He's missed the

1:26:24.880 --> 1:26:27.360
<v Speaker 1>entire preseason rehabbing his a c L from last year.

1:26:27.760 --> 1:26:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Uh Dane Jackson and rookie Key here Elam will be

1:26:30.640 --> 1:26:33.880
<v Speaker 1>trying to handle Robinson on the outside. Cooper Cup meanwhile,

1:26:33.960 --> 1:26:38.040
<v Speaker 1>draws elite slot corner Tarron Johnson. He only allowed twenty

1:26:38.160 --> 1:26:40.680
<v Speaker 1>six yards per game and gave up just two touchdowns

1:26:40.960 --> 1:26:44.200
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen games last year. You gotta start cupping Robinson

1:26:44.280 --> 1:26:47.640
<v Speaker 1>to keep your expectations in check. Um, Matthew Stafford, if

1:26:47.640 --> 1:26:49.720
<v Speaker 1>I've got B grades on cupping Robinson, that puts a

1:26:49.760 --> 1:26:52.960
<v Speaker 1>B grade on Stafford as well as their quarterback here.

1:26:53.520 --> 1:26:56.360
<v Speaker 1>But again, very very tough past defense, and this could

1:26:56.400 --> 1:26:58.920
<v Speaker 1>have some downside in it. That you don't expect. Um

1:26:59.520 --> 1:27:02.479
<v Speaker 1>Van Jefferson maybe a spot starter desperation play because of

1:27:02.560 --> 1:27:05.519
<v Speaker 1>inexperienced rookie Cutier Elham expected to start on the other

1:27:05.680 --> 1:27:08.960
<v Speaker 1>side of as the starting quarterback for the Bills. Maybe

1:27:09.040 --> 1:27:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Van Jefferson wins that battle once or twice. And the

1:27:12.320 --> 1:27:14.599
<v Speaker 1>last part of the passing game, I'll mention Tyler Higbee.

1:27:14.840 --> 1:27:17.680
<v Speaker 1>With the surprise release of Kendall Blanton, Higbee looking at

1:27:17.680 --> 1:27:20.840
<v Speaker 1>a big workload. But this is another case. Buffalo is

1:27:20.920 --> 1:27:23.639
<v Speaker 1>just great against tight ends here, allowing the second fewest

1:27:23.680 --> 1:27:26.520
<v Speaker 1>points of the position last year and just one touchdown

1:27:26.560 --> 1:27:29.639
<v Speaker 1>across the final eleven games of the year to tight ends.

1:27:30.080 --> 1:27:32.640
<v Speaker 1>So Higbee is on the bench, and that leaves us

1:27:32.680 --> 1:27:36.280
<v Speaker 1>with Cam Akers and Darryl Henderson, both backs returning from injuries.

1:27:36.360 --> 1:27:39.320
<v Speaker 1>The Bills lost run stuffing tackle Harrison Phillips in the

1:27:39.400 --> 1:27:42.160
<v Speaker 1>off season, and Buffalo's past defense is great, so I

1:27:42.200 --> 1:27:44.240
<v Speaker 1>think they're gonna want to run the ball. But they

1:27:44.280 --> 1:27:48.120
<v Speaker 1>also lost Andrew Wentworth off their offensive line. So Acres

1:27:48.200 --> 1:27:50.280
<v Speaker 1>and Henderson in a time share here don't interest me

1:27:50.320 --> 1:27:53.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot. I've just got C grades on both Acres

1:27:53.120 --> 1:27:56.479
<v Speaker 1>first game the season back they share Maybe ten to

1:27:56.680 --> 1:28:00.880
<v Speaker 1>twelve touches against a good run defense just feels like

1:28:01.280 --> 1:28:05.840
<v Speaker 1>a twenty to seventeen outcome. It don't be depressed when

1:28:05.840 --> 1:28:08.639
<v Speaker 1>you're Bills and Rams, don't football be back. One's gonna

1:28:08.640 --> 1:28:11.000
<v Speaker 1>be depressed. I hope you're right about that. Thanks for

1:28:11.080 --> 1:28:12.880
