Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:55.200 Frank stamfle Greg Sussman joined once again, but the closer 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.960 Chris bevenomins, Chris, what's up? Guys?

Yeah you welcome back. 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:10.560 Couldn't have you back. Miss Day also joined once again, 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.600 just as we were at last Friday, by the Fantasy 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.200 tas Jim Day, Jim, what's going on? Hey? Guys, how 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:19.360 are you doing? Happy Tuesday to you? I forgot what 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:21.320 day it was for a second there. Yeah, I'd be 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:23.320 Tuesday to you as well. We wanted to bring Jim 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.240 on again because we did our Daniel Jones stuff. We 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:28.840 kind of went over the first round, but the second 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.320 and third, and fourth and fifth and so on, those 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.200 were the rounds that we're gonna find the next I 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.720 don't mean this in the negative connotation, but the next 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.120 Cream Hunt, a guy that's going to more of anybody 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.240 first round pick in fantasy football, the next Cooper Cup 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:46.120 who's gonna be very, very reliable for fantasy draft. And 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.440 I wanted to bring Jim on and we wanted to 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:54.200 talk to Chris about fantasy football because there are so many, 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:56.400 uh different ways that these rookies are going to be 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:58.360 able to help you. Where they will be valued and 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.560 where they should be That are two different questions. I 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.920 want to start off, though, with Josh Jacobs. With you, Chris, 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.640 because on Friday you had told us that you believe 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:12.480 Josh Jacobs is a second round pick. He believed in 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.480 fantasy of course, here's the first round pick. In real life. 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:16.760 You believe that Josh Jacobs was a second round pick, 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.720 you would take him before Leonard for Nette. You will 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.960 leave wholeheartedly in Josh Jacobs. After the weekend. Do you 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.800 still feel the same way. Yeah, I think uh, like 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.959 late second, early third, I would pull the trigger maybe 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.040 you know, for some people that to reach. But the 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:38.360 Raiders don't have running backs right now. Uh. He is 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.200 the guy. They drafted him in the first round for 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.000 a reason. He's going to be their guy. And I 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.440 think a lot of being a productive fantasy running back 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.520 has to do an opportunity. Uh, and he's gonna get 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.079 a pretty good opportunity out of the gate. And it's 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:56.280 not like the Raiders are, you know, anemic offensively everywhere else. 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.320 They got Antonio Brown now they you know car still 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.000 they're obvious lee. Um, you know they got they got 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:06.160 other weapons besides, you know Josh Josh Jacobs so and 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.679 the offensive line is still pretty good. So I think 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:10.760 that that that he could do damage on Oakland. I 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:12.799 think he could actually have a really productive year and 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.399 B and RB two a solid r B two. Jim, 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.440 you didn't wholeheartedly desuged Chris. You had him a little 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.400 bit lower and just like you had Leonard four net lower. Um, 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.280 what do you think of Josh jacob has Given that 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.720 you've had the weekend to think about it. Now, Look, 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.000 you know, he, like Chris said, he landed in a 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:32.360 good spot. Oakland needed, you know, basically a three down back, 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.600 and that's what he's gonna get him. And the thing 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.120 with Jacobs for me is that, you know, he's just 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.480 not a big overall talent. I mean, there's more talented 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.840 running backs in this draft class than Jacobs. He just 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.600 happened to land in a really good spot. And you know, 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.880 like Chris said, with Brown on the outside, Tyrell Williams 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.240 on the other side, you know, they got weapons to 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.320 stretch the field, to keep defenses. Honest, that's gonna play 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:59.080 into Jacob's hands. So you know, Jacob's to me right now, 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.040 he is in you know, if you're doing a Dynasty 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.240 rookie draft, for me, he's either picked two or picked three. 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.920 And it really just depends on on you know, who 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.920 else you liked more than Jacobs. For me, I think 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:12.600 there's a couple of running backs on the board I 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.680 like a little bit more. But again, Jacobs did land 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.880 in a very good spot. Yeah, probably the best spot 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:19.640 edible of the running backs on all the running backs 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.560 that landed. Oh, I don't know if I so, I 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.080 don't know if I agree with that we're gonna talk 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:26.800 about that here on the show. Is Josh Jacobs the 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:30.400 first rookie running back off the board and Fantasy Football Frank, Yeah, 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.039 I'll say so. I think he landed in a pretty 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:36.880 good spot. It wouldn't surprise me if they maybe for 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.200 the first half of the season work Isaiah Crowell in 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:40.840 a little bit, because we've kind of seen that with 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.280 rookie running backs like carry On Johnson last year. We 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:44.760 all wanted him to be a thing right out of 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.440 the gate and still had a few other They had 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.760 a few other names there on the roster, a few 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.040 other mouths to feed, and ultimately, once he started getting 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.360 the opportunity to get you know, fifteen and twenty touches, 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.520 he was he was dominating for fantasy and that was 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.400 awesome to see from carry On Johnson. But could see 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.560 is air Corel working a little bit here in maybe 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.000 in the first half of the season, early on in 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.800 the season, which could be frustrating for fantasy. I think 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.960 he's probably closer to a mid to low end r 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.080 B two rather than like the high end RB two, 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.520 which is like ventra Is. But I think it's I 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.320 think it's going to be like the way that people 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:19.840 feel about him is kind of gonna be all over 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:21.640 the map. Like the people who really buy into Josh 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.279 Jacobs and his talent, and they don't think that Isaia 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:25.960 Kawell is going to have a role in this offense 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:33.560 and they're not worried about that he's had his chances. 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.279 I'm not defending the guy. I don't think that he's great. 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:37.800 I mean I just watched him this past year with 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.479 the Jets. Actually, you know, holds the franchise record for 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.000 most yards in most rushing yards in the game for 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.760 the Jets. But I don't I don't think it's very good. 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.320 But they signed him for a reason. You know, they 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.920 wanted some kind of vetteran backup here. Yeah, they need depth. 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.320 But overall, um, I still think that he's going to 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:55.960 have somewhat of a role. Like even if he just 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.040 steals goal one, that would be really frustrating for fantasy 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:01.760 from his pass makes you think he's good enough to 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.440 steal the goal line. He's never shown that, you know, 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:07.120 when he's had that role before in Cleveland, where you 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:08.919 know it would it would be him on early downs 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:10.359 and him on goal lines and then they would use 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:14.200 Duke Johnson as a pass catcher. Yeah, but Duke Johnson 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.800 wasn't that kind of back. Josh Jacobs can give him 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:22.080 that goal line stuff. I just I don't disagree with 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:27.520 This happens way too often where we want something to 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.200 happen and we kind of talk ourselves into it, But 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.400 just because we wanted to happen doesn't mean that it's 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.440 going to Because it seems like every year, Greg, we 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.320 want a young running back to kind of take over. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.680 And how long did it take Aaron Jones to to 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.040 finally get like a full workload. We you know, there 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.440 are always things that we want to happen. And yeah, 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:45.960 like it would be awesome if right out of the 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.599 gate Josh Jacobs is getting fifteen twenty touches game. I 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.840 would love that for fantasy we would have another, you know, 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.560 workhorse running back and then then you would probably be 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.239 worth the third round pick. But can I confidently say 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:01.200 right now on April thirtie, that's gonna happen. Know, maybe 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:02.920 you know, come closer to the season if they give 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.120 any if they give out indications or he's having like 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:08.120 a monster preseason, and yeah, maybe I can get behind it. 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.160 That's of now. I think Roll is going to have 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.240 a small role in the offense and Jalen Richard is 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:17.800 still gonna be the pass catcher. So right, I agree 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.040 with you on the Jalen Richard gonna have his role. 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.240 I agree with that, but it won't be as big 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.040 a role as last year because Jacobs can catch. And 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.480 the good thing about that is that when you have 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.560 him on the field, the defense doesn't know they're going 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.920 to a pass. As soon as you put Jalen Richard 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.600 on the field, defense is pretty much assumed as a 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.520 pass coming. So having Jacob's back there as both a 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.240 runner and a passer can give them a little bit 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.880 more flexibility with what they want to do on the offense. 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.840 He's also a pretty good pass blocker, so he's well rounded. Uh. 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.400 And the other thing is like Aaron Jones is a 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:54.000 tough example because he also to compete well rounded. Yea 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:59.520 here man, that's a good thing. But what I'll say, 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.920 he's like Aaron Jones had to compete with Jamal Williams 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.320 and Time Montgomery at the beginning, you know what I mean. 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.720 So he had another rookie to compete with, and he 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:08.680 had a pretty good running back at a Montgomery, who 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.680 had a good year this season before before Jones came. 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.160 So there's a lot of tough competition there. There's not 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.560 much tough competition here. You know. Krowell is one dimensional, 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:21.080 Shards one dimensional in what they do, and Josh Jacobs 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.480 is well rounded all around, like he could do all 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.520 the things they do, but maybe better. So he's gonna 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:27.280 get a good shot, I think at some point. I mean, 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.200 look at um, who was it, Oh Jordan Howard his rookie, 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.679 right he didn't get the shot right away, but once 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.120 somebody's faltering after a couple of games, Howard was right 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:36.880 in there very soon, and he said he was like 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.079 a third round pick or something like that. So it's 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:40.680 a first round pick. I think he's gonna get his 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.960 opportunity sooner rather than later. You might be right early on, 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.360 it might be like a fifty fifty between him and uh, 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.200 you know, krow L and whoever else in Richard, But 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.240 he'll get at least fifty percent of the touches, I 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.319 think right away. I agree with that. I just think, 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.079 you know, for those first couple of weeks, maybe the 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:56.920 first month, that could be a little frustrating. But once 0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:00.400 he gets the opportunity. I think he could work really well. Obviously, 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.160 with that opportunity, they have Antonio Brown, so they're gonna 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:04.680 be able to get into the red zone a little 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:06.880 bit more this year, and they'll have more scoring opportunities. 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.240 I think that's fair to say regarding the Raiders offense. 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:10.840 I wanted to bring this up to both of you 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:14.160 guys because I've seen kind of mixed takes regarding Josh 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:18.079 Jacobs and the fact that he hasn't been a workhorse 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.600 running back in college. He was, you know, splitting time 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.640 with Damien Harris and some of these other guys at Alabama. 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:25.600 Now do you see that as a good thing or 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.839 a bad thing, because I can kind of make the 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.679 argument for both. He hasn't handled a f workload before. 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:32.800 But he also doesn't have tread on the tire. But 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.800 that's that's the thing coming into the trash, right, Like, 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.160 you kill him because he hasn't we haven't seen it before, 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:38.679 and we kill him for having too much trd of 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:40.560 the tire. There's no wind. I don't think you could 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.400 kill somebody for having too much, too little, or too 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.800 much tread on the tire in college. We've we've seen 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:53.160 that over and over, But then again, so was mel 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.960 Gordon's been great. Yeah, but he's been He's also been 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:58.719 a little injury prone too. He should be really good, 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:02.360 though he has been, so I wanted to open that 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.680 up to you guys. You becauld me personally. I land 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.360 on the side that I think the fact that he 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.319 doesn't have that much wear and tear is actually better 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:13.560 for his long term NFL future. I mean, Barkley had 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.520 a ton of wear and tear in college. He ran 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.600 a lot in college as he's also the best physically 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:22.000 gifted running back out of Adrian. Yeah, in years, you're right, 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:23.920 but but at the same time, I don't think it 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:27.960 really affects like it's when you're in college. You're young kid, 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.240 your resilient, Your body comes back quicker than most. Trend 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.360 on the tires in the NFL career is a different story. 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.199 Once you know, you become a certain age and you 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.760 have a certain amount of mileage, then it becomes a problem. 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:39.920 But I think coming out of college that's not a 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:43.280 big deal. I'd be more worried actually, like you said 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:47.719 about him having not enough touches, but I think from 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.360 the touches that he did have you could see why 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.040 he you know, he could obviously be a well rounded, 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.240 full workhlace back. Uh you think is it's a little 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:57.480 bit of a guest and game because you don't have 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.920 a real full sample size to work with. So I 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.560 understand what you're saying. That's probably why he didn't go 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.560 earlier in the first round too. That's that's part of 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.880 the reason. But I don't know. I I kind of 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:08.880 trust him. I think he'll be fine. I think once 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:10.720 he gets a full year under his belt, it'll be fine. 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.079 What do you think, I'm I'm you know, I'm with 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.560 you on both sides. You can make a case either way, 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.720 but we just don't know at this point. So I'm 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:20.719 going on the fact that they went out and got 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.719 the running back they wanted in the first round. Um, 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.520 And that's another reason why I'm not worried about crow L. 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.160 Croyle was brought in in case they couldn't get a 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:31.600 running back in the draft that they wanted, but they did. 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:33.680 They spent a first round draft pick on him, so 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.800 there's plenty of draft capital there and they're gonna give 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.280 him every chance to succeed right out of the gate, 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.840 So that doesn't bother me at all. And look, this 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:43.640 is a kid who was supposed to be the backup 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.640 on his his college team, and you know, took that 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:51.440 starting job pretty quickly away from Damian Harris and really 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:54.439 became that go to guy for them, uh fairly early 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.880 on a great team. So you know, I don't really 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.080 worry about that. I think he's got a lot of talent. 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.760 I don't think he's over the top type talented like 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:05.360 a Girly or Barkley or anything like that. But this guy, 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.120 if you give them, you know, two to three touches 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.680 a year, he's going to be a fantasy dynamite player. 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.280 You mentioned Damien Harris. I wanted to get get into 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.520 him next. He was Josh Jacobs's teammate in college, and 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.920 I actually really like Damian Harris when he got to Alabama, 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.400 Josh Jacobs did take several touches or certainly more than 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.680 several touches away from Harris. Who lands with the Patriots 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.559 and what's a similar role, I would think, guys to 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.280 Sony Michelle. And I really understand the draft pick of 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.280 the Patriots because you have Sony Michelle, who performed very 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.480 very well in the playoffs. You have James White, who's 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:39.760 usage is only going to increase without Rob Gronkowski. And 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.920 then you have Damien Harris. Where does where does his 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.199 role fit Chris? And is he worked taking a flyer 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:49.720 on draft day? I'd say he's worth taking a flyer 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.480 late in the draft, but I don't think, Yeah, I 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.800 don't think he's gonna well, I'm saying a flyer like 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:56.959 like last like you know, I would draft him the 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.680 last rounds, the last couple of rounds, because I don't 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.599 see touching the bull. Uh if Sony Michelle st is 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.120 healthy the whole year, He's he's the you know, the 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.360 first and second early down back, and then you have 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:09.960 James White is a pass catch up. I honestly think 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:11.960 the receiver they got, which will I'm sure we'll get 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.480 into Certa, will be way more valuable this year. But um, 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.480 you know, it kind of stinks because he could be 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:19.240 someone that is valuable if he got the chance, but 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:20.719 I don't. I just don't see him getting a chance 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:23.719 in New England. And there's two really good running backs 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:25.600 ahead of him the depth chart, and I just don't 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.080 think he's gonna see it. Obviously, Patriots half a battled 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.720 injury concerns at the running back position over the past 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.280 several years. Heres certainly it looks like a depth uh 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:37.079 selection there. How come you don't like Damian Harris Jim 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.640 Well just because of that fact? Once again, you know, 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.200 we're bringing another running back to once again muddy the 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.760 waters in New England so that we don't know who 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:48.160 to freaking draft come fantasy time. It's simple as that. 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.040 I mean, James White had a fantastic start to the 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.840 season but really came down a lot of the second 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:56.000 half of the season. Sony Michelle when he was on 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.040 the field was great, but he missed time for injury. 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.600 Definitely been a concern with him, and that's why I 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.160 think they brought in Harrison in case Michelle goes down. 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:07.240 But don't forget about Rex Burkhead, who they seem to love. Um. 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.920 You know, once again, it just muddies the waters even worse, 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.640 you know, to a situation that we thought at one 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.480 point last year, we thought they finally had under control 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.840 with Michelle and White, and then of course Michelle got 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.000 hurt and everything went out the window. Yeah, I would 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.120 say he's one of the better handcuffs. That's like, if 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.000 you're gonna in the draft and fantasy draft. I'd say 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.040 he's one of the better handcuffs you could get. I 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.440 think that's probably a good way to label him right now, 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.240 which is unfortunate because I think he's a really talented player. 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.960 But now, does this speak more to do they worry 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:39.120 about Sony Michelle's durability or is it just like a 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:45.080 Patriot's depth pic. Like I think they're worried about Sony 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.280 Michelle's durability. To be honest, this isn't you know, the 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.480 first time thing with him. He's had injury issues, um, 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.560 and he has a hard time staying on the field. 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.160 I think he gives him, you know, depth at that 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.480 position if Michelle goes down, and based on Michelle's history, 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.080 I think that's a pretty good bet that way. But 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.280 for fantasy, you're gonna need a Sony Michelle injury for 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.720 him to have any fantasy value. Yeah, I lean closer 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.720 what Jim saying here. Just um, you know they drafted 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.240 Tonny Michelle in the first round last year, Like why 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.240 do you draft running back in the first round last 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:16.800 year and then you take a running back in the 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.280 third round this year? So it kind of speaks a 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:21.200 little bit to how they feel about Sonny Michelle, And 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:23.680 we do have some early Fantasy football ADP data and 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:25.880 Coroni Michelle is going at the end of the third round. 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.720 So you have to invest pretty highly in him. I mean, 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:31.200 he he's awesome. You're getting no he is he's when 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.560 he was on the field last year, Like Jim was saying, 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.480 we had that stretch it was like four five, maybe 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.200 six weeks in the middle of the season last year 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.360 where Sony Michelle, he was great in the playoffs. Sony 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.800 Michelle was awesome early downs, did his role, James White 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:46.960 did his thing called a bunch of passes. He was 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:50.040 still scoring touchdowns. Two they were both awesome together and 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.920 then towards the end of his thing and gave Devlin 0:15:52.960 --> 0:16:00.160 the touchdown runs. But then Devlin gets involved, and then 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:03.160 Rex Burr kid gets involved. But Tony Michelle, the last 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.360 thing you remember is him scoring all these touchdowns in 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.600 the playoffs. So do they have more faith in him 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.000 this season? So there's like as usual, there's a lot 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.600 of moving parts with the New England Patriots, because me personally, 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:14.560 I would have thought after what they saw from him 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.480 in the playoffs, they're like, all right, they're getting ready 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:19.880 to like they're they're handing it all over to Sony Michelle, 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.000 like they're gonna run the offense through him. It's gonna 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.360 be him and James White. And that's the last thing 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:26.000 that I remember him scoring a ton of touchdowns in 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:29.040 the playoffs. But then they raft Damien Harrison the third round, 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.840 So it's where do they really like? It doesn't look 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.040 like they used the first round or even the second 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.360 round pick to get a running back. So you know, 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:39.320 I mean third round pick, not really a lot of 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.800 a huge amount of draft cap by that point, and 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:43.280 it was a value pick. And I think, you know 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.720 what I think, And it is New England starting to 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:49.960 go towards this run heavy offense because Brady is getting older. 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:52.080 And in the playoffs they ran a lot. I don't 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:53.680 know if I need running back. I don't know if 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:55.360 I agree with that's why they ran a lot. They 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:56.640 ran a lot to keep the ball away from the 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:58.720 teams they were facing the playoffs. That's the thing. They 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:00.720 can't keep up up like a chef at that time, 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:04.280 so they want to kill clock correct And remember, though Belichick, 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.600 what he does is very game plan specific. He has 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.639 his overall game plan the way they play, but it 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:12.560 changes week to week and that's why you have to 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:14.679 be always prepared when it comes to James White and 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:16.840 with Sony Michelle, He's called more running backs that I 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.239 want to get to, including what the Eagles did on 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.040 draft Day.
