Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Wednesday, July tenth, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, where we're ready
Speaker 1: to compete for a starting jobs.
Speaker 2: Me and your man nam J. Mark is Grant, joined
Speaker 2: by Michael F.
Speaker 1: Floyo and Lakwan Jones and Happy Wednesday, gentlemen.
Speaker 2: Uh, what's why? So week?
Speaker 1: Are we ready? It's not two a days, it's like
Speaker 1: two weeks. Are we ready for two weeks yet?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: It's about that time. It's almost redraft season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: It's about it's time to start. I like the slow
Speaker 4: ramp up, So we do this in July, and then
Speaker 4: August we get even more, and then September full cent
Speaker 4: and it's like full.
Speaker 3: Full We're birth out by week eight.
Speaker 1: So I don't know about you guys, Like I have
Speaker 1: always sort of separated this season into like thirds. We're
Speaker 1: like the first like six weeks or so, I'm like
Speaker 1: it's new and it's fun and we're excited and we're
Speaker 1: learning new things, yay. And then like you know, weeks
Speaker 1: like seven through twelve or thirteen, you're kind of like,
Speaker 1: all right, here we are, We're in the middle of it.
Speaker 1: We're just grinding, Like we're just you know whatever. It's
Speaker 1: like week thirteen, fourteen, it's like, oh my god, like
Speaker 1: make this be over please. It's just like because you're
Speaker 1: just you're running out of gas. It's not that you
Speaker 1: hate it, but you're just running out of gas and
Speaker 1: you can see the light at the end of the
Speaker 1: tunnel and you see that the Fantasy playoffs are coming,
Speaker 1: and you're just you're just trying to swim to the
Speaker 1: other shore.
Speaker 3: More exactly what it is, like I gained so much,
Speaker 3: Like I gained so much weight week seven thirteen, if
Speaker 3: we want to break it down with that, because it's
Speaker 3: like I'm stressed and I'm watching football on the couch.
Speaker 3: I'm not really being active. I'm not disc golfing, I'm
Speaker 3: not doing the things I love to do on the
Speaker 3: weekend because I'm grinding.
Speaker 1: I'm just grinding because like I I will probably you know,
Speaker 1: I usually start I'll say this, I usually start the
Speaker 1: season right around a buck eighty five or so, and
Speaker 1: I'm fine until you hit Thanksgiving. It from Thanksgiving to
Speaker 1: New Year's Like, if I can get out of New
Speaker 1: Year's's like below two hundred pounds, and that's a win.
Speaker 3: That's a win.
Speaker 2: That is a win.
Speaker 4: On top of it all, that's the period of the
Speaker 4: point of the season where like the wacky stuff, like
Speaker 4: all of a sudden case Keenum is gonna throw for
Speaker 4: three point fifty or something like that in a random game,
Speaker 4: and we're supposed to.
Speaker 1: Know that, right, Yeah, that's exactly because you know, you're
Speaker 1: the teams are beat up. You got you know, second
Speaker 1: and third string running backs playing and going off out
Speaker 1: of nowhere. Uh, the waiver wires insane, these sleepers columns,
Speaker 1: like you're just you're basically just throwing You're just throwing
Speaker 1: healthy bodies into sleepers columns because you're like, yeah, this guy,
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe.
Speaker 3: Make returns, Like, oh my god, is that Joe Flacco's music.
Speaker 2: Hopefully we don't see Joe flacka. It's wild.
Speaker 1: Just to you go there are a peak behind the
Speaker 1: curtain of how it works on the fantasy content creation side.
Speaker 1: Speaking of creating content on this show, the content we create,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be about ADP values. Uh, looking at the
Speaker 1: kind of breaking it down by rounds, the early rounds,
Speaker 1: middle rounds, later rounds. Some of the best values we
Speaker 1: think are out there right now, especially as we get
Speaker 1: ready to turn the page into redraft season. And now
Speaker 1: we'll update you on the Scott Fish Bowl as well.
Speaker 2: Got kicked off.
Speaker 1: The slow drafts got kicked off on Monday, and you know,
Speaker 1: check in and see where folks are in their respective drafts.
Speaker 1: Let's start with some news and rumors. First, the story
Speaker 1: coming from one of the Phoenix from Phoenix Cardinals I
Speaker 1: believe is the site from the Arizona Cardinals bloggers and
Speaker 1: beat Riders, James Connor will quote see the bulk share
Speaker 1: of the team's backfield workload Floria. I don't know that
Speaker 1: that's a main major surprise. I think we were all
Speaker 1: sort of anticipating that. But it does lead me to
Speaker 1: the question, is James Connor being underdrafted because you can
Speaker 1: wait a while, especially in best Ball drafts before you
Speaker 1: go grab him. Are we not giving him the credit
Speaker 1: he deserves?
Speaker 4: No, we are not. He's going in the eighth round
Speaker 4: and the late eighth round, which is insane because last year. Look,
Speaker 4: I know he's gonna miss some time at some point.
Speaker 4: He's never played seventeen games in his career. He's never
Speaker 4: played sixteen games in his career. So yeah, he's gonna
Speaker 4: miss a game or two or three or something like that.
Speaker 4: But he's coming off of a career year, and last year,
Speaker 4: the only running back with more with one hundred and
Speaker 4: fifty or more touches that had a higher percentage of
Speaker 4: runs go for at least ten yards, which shows like
Speaker 4: burst and explosiveness was Christian McCaffrey. James Connor was also
Speaker 4: top two in yards after contact per touch amongst that
Speaker 4: group of running backs, so he is a very good
Speaker 4: running back. I think on a per touch basis, he
Speaker 4: has an RB one or close to it when he
Speaker 4: is healthy and out there on the field. But because
Speaker 4: of the injury discount, you're getting him potentially as an
Speaker 4: RB two or even an RB three. And then I
Speaker 4: expect this Cardinals offense to be a whole lot better
Speaker 4: this year with Kyler healthy, the whole year training camp,
Speaker 4: all of that. You added Marvin Harrison junior, We already
Speaker 4: have the breakout now of Trey mcg All of those
Speaker 4: things should only make life.
Speaker 1: Easier on James Connor. I mean, I think I think
Speaker 1: an injury discount is one thing. This seems like something else,
Speaker 1: and I think I think what it is, Lakwan, is
Speaker 1: you know people are excited about Trey Benson and the
Speaker 1: rise of Trey Benson and what he can be. I
Speaker 1: will admit that in Best Ball drafts I have taken
Speaker 1: him a number of times. I've also taken Connor in
Speaker 1: a number of spots. What are your expectations though, for
Speaker 1: Trey Benson, Like realistically and like let's pivot toward you know,
Speaker 1: let's toward Best Ball, more toward redraft, you know, where
Speaker 1: you do have to sort.
Speaker 2: Of stake a claim. What are your expectations for him
Speaker 2: this year?
Speaker 3: I feel like you're still drafting him just based on
Speaker 3: knowing the information you have. With James Connor not completing
Speaker 3: a full season, I mean, he can end up being
Speaker 3: a league winner. Not saying James Connor is going to
Speaker 3: get beat up at the end of the season, but
Speaker 3: we've kind of seen him kind of burn out in
Speaker 3: the middle of the season where he's taking the bulk
Speaker 3: of the hits and then the injury happens. So you're
Speaker 3: overall taking Trey Benson just based on what he brings
Speaker 3: to the table. The dynamic player. He is so shifty
Speaker 3: in traffic. This guy has breakaway speed. This dude could
Speaker 3: break in the phone movie if he wanted to. He
Speaker 3: has dance and feet that just take it to the house.
Speaker 3: So you love the talent. I'm really surprised of this
Speaker 3: post draft hype, but where I'm starting to believe, like, like, umg,
Speaker 3: I'm taking him in drafts. I'm going to be taking
Speaker 3: him in redraft this summer, just based on the talent
Speaker 3: and the knowledge that you know, my expectations for him
Speaker 3: overall is to be a plug and play guy once
Speaker 3: his name is called.
Speaker 1: He is going to be a guy that I keep
Speaker 1: an eye on in in preseason and training camp to
Speaker 1: see what his role may be. Right, because if James
Speaker 1: Connor is getting the bulk of it, like what does
Speaker 1: that mean? Does that mean you know, seventy percent? Does
Speaker 1: that mean eighty five to ninety percent? Like what does
Speaker 1: the bulk mean? And how much is there going to
Speaker 1: be left over for trade Benson? Because in busball is
Speaker 1: one you can take the shot on him and it's
Speaker 1: not really that detrimental. In redraft, I want to know
Speaker 1: that he's got a standalone value and an actual workload
Speaker 1: outside of James Connor getting Hurtcuse I don't want to
Speaker 1: have to draft him and then have him sit on
Speaker 1: the bench, you know, because he's getting you know, five
Speaker 1: touches a game, and I'm waiting for James Connor to
Speaker 1: get hurt.
Speaker 2: That's my only question the town is there there no
Speaker 2: doubt I.
Speaker 4: Like Trey Benson. I don't want to sound like an
Speaker 4: anti Trey Benson guy. Their ADPs are entirely too close
Speaker 4: for my liking. Like Connor is RB twenty six in
Speaker 4: ADP right now, Benson is RB thirty one, going ahead
Speaker 4: of Tajy Spears, Blake Korum, Javonte Williams, Gus Edwards, Like,
Speaker 4: I don't know. Like that to me feels like we're
Speaker 4: pulling him up just a little too much. I wish
Speaker 4: he was going a little bit cheaper, because then I
Speaker 4: would just pair the two together.
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you, I mean, so, do you
Speaker 1: think it's because we're undervaluing Connor or overvaluing Benson?
Speaker 2: Or is the answer both both?
Speaker 4: I think it's a little of both. Yeah, Like I
Speaker 4: love Trey Benson as a prospect, and I think year
Speaker 4: two on for him it's gonna be great. But I
Speaker 4: don't see why the Cardinals would come. Like, as long
Speaker 4: as James Connor's healthy, he is going to be their
Speaker 4: lead running back unless he completely bottoms out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't necessarily see that happening right now,
Speaker 1: you know, who knows anything can happen.
Speaker 2: I don't really anticipate that happening. Staying in the NFC West.
Speaker 1: The Rams reportedly quote see Kyron Williams as the starter
Speaker 1: again that exactly breaking news here. I don't think anybody's
Speaker 1: shocked by that considering what he did last season, But
Speaker 1: Lakwan as the resident Rams homer here on the show,
Speaker 1: do you expect Kyron Williams to get the same level
Speaker 1: of work as he did last year? I mean last
Speaker 1: year he made everybody else expendable. I mean they sent
Speaker 1: cam Akers away because they were fine with Kyon Williams.
Speaker 1: Does Sean McVay lean on him to that extent this year?
Speaker 3: I think so. I think we could be confident that
Speaker 3: he gets the same workload until he's not able to.
Speaker 3: I mean, you look at that running back coach, Ron Gold.
Speaker 3: They kind of have somewhat of a history where he
Speaker 3: was trying to recruit Kiren. So having that comfortability in
Speaker 3: that running back room with a running back coach that
Speaker 3: understands that you're the guy Sean McVay, he usually plays
Speaker 3: a little game where you know, back in the day
Speaker 3: he was like Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson. I look
Speaker 3: at them as both starting running backs. I don't think
Speaker 3: that's the temperature right now. I think there's a clear
Speaker 3: understanding and they're giving credit to what Kyen did last
Speaker 3: year and then limited about games that he had even
Speaker 3: though he missed time. So I think more so we
Speaker 3: can draft him comfortably, but just have a backup.
Speaker 2: Plan I have.
Speaker 1: I had kind of been avoiding Kyron early in draft
Speaker 1: season because it felt like the ADP was high, and
Speaker 1: especially after they drafted Blake Korum, because I just have
Speaker 1: this belief that Sean McVay doesn't necessarily want to have
Speaker 1: one true workhorse back, that he's going to rotate guys
Speaker 1: through there. And so that sort of gives me the question, Florio,
Speaker 1: does Blake Korum or will Blake Korum have some standalone value?
Speaker 1: Could we see him maybe not in a full blown committee,
Speaker 1: but at least get enough work that, you know, especially
Speaker 1: in deeper leagues, you would feel okay, maybe flexing him.
Speaker 4: It's definitely possible. I like taking him where he's going
Speaker 4: right now, like I like taking him. I view him
Speaker 4: just like Trey Benson similarly, and he goes a little
Speaker 4: bit cheaper in that the starter has a history of injuries,
Speaker 4: but I'm not sure if the starter miss his time,
Speaker 4: this guy is gonna become an RB one like Blake
Speaker 4: corm I think RB one upside if Kyroen any game
Speaker 4: that Kian Williams isn't active, but it's possible he could
Speaker 4: have enough standalone value. The issue is the Rams don't
Speaker 4: throw the to the running backs a ton, which is
Speaker 4: usually how an RB two inflates their value. And I
Speaker 4: still think Kien Williams is going to be the goal
Speaker 4: line running back. I mean, he was awesome at it.
Speaker 4: That's really what propped him up last year was all
Speaker 4: the touchdowns he was getting near the goal, and he
Speaker 4: led the NFL and goal line touches per game. So
Speaker 4: I think it's a little bit if he's getting that
Speaker 4: much of the goal line work and the lack of passes,
Speaker 4: it could make a little bit tough for Blake Colram
Speaker 4: to have standalone value. But he is one of my
Speaker 4: favorite handcuffs at least right now, and the only thing
Speaker 4: I wanted about the Sean McVay and his running backs,
Speaker 4: like Sean McVay only used one running back when he
Speaker 4: had Todd Gurley. Since then, he's had a lot of
Speaker 4: meh running backs, so maybe that's why he doesn't like
Speaker 4: to use a guy. But like he clearly fell in
Speaker 4: love with Kyen Williams last season, so I think Coorum
Speaker 4: is there as more of an insurance guy. I don't
Speaker 4: think Kyan's gonna see anywhere near the eighty percent of
Speaker 4: touches that he was getting in the second half of
Speaker 4: last season, but I still think he'll get the vast majority.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think that definitely gets the majority
Speaker 1: of though I'll say this, if you believe in draft
Speaker 1: capital as a thing, the Rams have more draft capital
Speaker 1: invested in Blake Korham than they do Inrek Williams.
Speaker 3: And I can honestly see Kyron's goal line duty getting
Speaker 3: pushed back because I think that's kind of what leads
Speaker 3: to him getting bruised up and stuff like that. So
Speaker 3: I think when you have a finally an RB two
Speaker 3: that knows how to find the end zone because he's
Speaker 3: been chasing his RB the one two punch for years now,
Speaker 3: I mean, what Henderson taking goal line doing Malcolm Brown
Speaker 3: taking goal line duty and targets away from cam akers,
Speaker 3: Like these are all things that are still like kind
Speaker 3: of tendencies that Sean McVay has when the running game
Speaker 3: needs to get established. So I think there could be
Speaker 3: some standalone value and touchdown upside for Korum. But I
Speaker 3: just think Kyron will still get the early down duties.
Speaker 3: He still will gets peppered in that red zone as well.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that's another that's another backfield I
Speaker 1: want to watch in the preseason. But we know that
Speaker 1: Sean McVay doesn't play any of his guys in the preseason.
Speaker 1: Good Man, We're going to learn absolutely not one surprise.
Speaker 4: The only thing draft capital matters until it doesn't, right,
Speaker 4: like Hira Williams doing what he did, throw it out,
Speaker 4: Kuka Nakua doing what he did, throw it out the window.
Speaker 4: Like these guys are now different than what they were
Speaker 4: when they were drafted.
Speaker 3: It's like anti draft capital when it comes to the Rams,
Speaker 3: because you look at they.
Speaker 1: Don't like first team that hates first round picks.
Speaker 2: So may we doing bleep them picks? Man? That was
Speaker 2: less snead for years.
Speaker 1: Legend uh over to Las Vegas where Raiders beat writer
Speaker 1: Victa Forrest said, quote, it wouldn't shock me if the
Speaker 1: Raiders added a running back.
Speaker 2: You know, I keep mentioning.
Speaker 1: This, right they you know, Josh Jacobs leaves, everybody's like
Speaker 1: it's Zamir White season. They bring in Alexander Madison, everybody's
Speaker 1: like it's a mere White season. But there's, you know,
Speaker 1: this thought that maybe they're not done, and maybe it's
Speaker 1: not somebody who's going to get a lot of work,
Speaker 1: but somebody who could get enough work. So, Floria, I
Speaker 1: will ask you, are we sure Zamir White is that dude?
Speaker 4: I'm sure that he will if he stays healthy, lead
Speaker 4: this team and carries. But that's about it. Like he is,
Speaker 4: he is not a good receiving back. I looked at
Speaker 4: specifically the four games that he started last season, he'd
Speaker 4: a fifty nine percent catch right, which is awful for
Speaker 4: running backs. I mean, you have some running backs sitting
Speaker 4: at ninety percent. And then he was in rec EPA.
Speaker 4: He was a negative over those four games, so he's
Speaker 4: not good there. He doesn't have breakaway speed, so he
Speaker 4: was purely volume dependent. Now you take that four game
Speaker 4: sample size, over seventeen games, he was on pace to
Speaker 4: run for almost seventeen hundred yards, which is why because
Speaker 4: of volume, I think he's a fair value as like
Speaker 4: a low end Darby two. I think best case scenarios,
Speaker 4: he could be what Josh Jacobs was before that breakout year,
Speaker 4: where like he stays healthy and volume leads him to
Speaker 4: a low end Darby one season. But in the range
Speaker 4: of outcomes for Zoom, your White is he is this
Speaker 4: year's Alexander Madison.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not great, not good. When he's room, that's not.
Speaker 1: Great, not great. It's funny too, because Ian Hard. It's
Speaker 1: the great Ian Hard. It's put out a tweet just
Speaker 1: not too long ago this morning saying, you know, Zamir
Speaker 1: White plays any good offense, x expects to see a
Speaker 1: lot of receiving work acts, large sample of being good
Speaker 1: in the NFL and draft capital and jacked.
Speaker 4: You know, it's like that picture of him.
Speaker 1: He is massive the linebacker give him some reps, which
Speaker 1: I mean, are we still We're not still falling for
Speaker 1: this sort of thing, right?
Speaker 2: I mean we fell for it with aj Dillon and I.
Speaker 4: Mean I truly don't ever care. These are football players.
Speaker 2: This is part of your job, right.
Speaker 1: It's like lift weights and be strong and muscular, So
Speaker 1: I guess we're not falling for that one. Then last
Speaker 1: one here, Cordero Patterson quote will likely have a bigger
Speaker 1: role than being a specialist. That's according to one of
Speaker 1: the riders in Pittsburgh there, Lakwan, you have you have
Speaker 1: talked a lot this offseason about you know, kick returners,
Speaker 1: the new rules and how this is gonna affect fantasy
Speaker 1: and how this affect certain players. Obviously, we know Cordero
Speaker 1: Patterson has his he's got his spot locked down as
Speaker 1: one of the great return specialists in the history of
Speaker 1: the league. But we saw a couple of years ago
Speaker 1: in Atlanta that he could also be an effective running back.
Speaker 1: So should we worry whose touches are more in dangers
Speaker 1: that Najie Harris or Jalen Warren. Who's the guy that
Speaker 1: we're gonna be pulling our hair out over because Cordero
Speaker 1: Patterson is taking their touches.
Speaker 3: Honestly, I feel like those guys are better at that position.
Speaker 3: I mean they're saying that he's going to expand his role.
Speaker 3: I mean, is he taken on an executive position? Is
Speaker 3: he gonna be the water boy?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 3: Is he going to be doing other things other than
Speaker 3: actually on the field. I mean, it's been a while
Speaker 3: since we've seen him as a receiver, so I'm not
Speaker 3: I'm quite sure if he's the most polished route runner now,
Speaker 3: but like at running back, like I don't see him
Speaker 3: being better than Jalen Warner or as explosive as how
Speaker 3: he could be utilizing this offense and Nagie Harris. He's
Speaker 3: kind of the bruiser and he's still somewhat good in
Speaker 3: between the tackles. So I don't see Cordero Patterson really
Speaker 3: hurting any of their production. Like as a receiver whatever,
Speaker 3: they kind of need to help. So I'd rather see
Speaker 3: him go that way than more so being a running
Speaker 3: back what he was doing in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Yeah, throw a wrinkle into this, Florio. The offensive coordinator
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh is Arthur Smith, the same guy who created.
Speaker 2: That breakout for him in Atlanta.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but remember last season after they drafted Bijon Robinson,
Speaker 4: they were like, oh, Patterson's playing the joker role, Like
Speaker 4: we made up this new cool role for him. He
Speaker 4: had fewer carries than Desmond Ridder and fewer targets than
Speaker 4: Scott Miller, Like he was not a part of the
Speaker 4: Falcons offense at all last year. So I think this
Speaker 4: is just more of the same, Like they're gonna hype
Speaker 4: him up, he'll have a gadget role and those other
Speaker 4: two guys will get all the work.
Speaker 3: Running back coach now or something I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, good, then I'll keep on drafting Jalen Warren, who
Speaker 1: I have been all off season long. Most of these things,
Speaker 1: Most of the things I put in here cause I'm
Speaker 1: just validating my own process.
Speaker 4: No nause right, where are we all out on Naji.
Speaker 1: Or I have taken nause a couple of times in
Speaker 1: best Ball where like it is like he's following a
Speaker 1: couple of rounds and it's like, all right, he's still here,
Speaker 1: Like I'll take him, but I'm not actively targeting Naji Harris.
Speaker 3: Yeah in mocks, Like I'm not mad if I miss
Speaker 3: out on him, But there's times where I've settled with him,
Speaker 3: like I don't need an RB two or RB three.
Speaker 3: Sure you know, Like it's one of those situations.
Speaker 1: That part completely. We'll take a quick break, we'll come back.
Speaker 1: We will talk about some ADP values. Who are we
Speaker 1: digging on in the middle rounds of drafts? Maybe some
Speaker 1: running backs should keep an eye on that and more
Speaker 1: coming up on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, It's time
Speaker 1: now to drive your Draft, presented by the all new
Speaker 1: hybrid Toyota Camry. We are diving into ADP values guys
Speaker 1: that we think are maybe being undervalued where they are,
Speaker 1: and now we're trying to get on our rosters as
Speaker 1: much as possible.
Speaker 2: Still doing best ball.
Speaker 1: The ADP for ree drafts are just kind of starting
Speaker 1: to form right now, so not really a very strong
Speaker 1: consensus in that regard. You know it, give another month
Speaker 1: for sure he will have some really strong ADP values there.
Speaker 1: So we're still doing the best ball kind of thing here.
Speaker 1: So broke it down best value rounds one through five,
Speaker 1: then round six through ten, then rounds eleven or later.
Speaker 1: So let's start at the top rounds one through five. Lakwan,
Speaker 1: who is your top value there?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: I love getting Mark Andrews Man. I think he's going
Speaker 3: to remind a few people that he is still part
Speaker 3: of that Big Three conversation. I mean, the dude still
Speaker 3: remains in the same situation prior to last season. It's
Speaker 3: not like they went out and change a whole bunch
Speaker 3: of things. Where he still has that healthy target share.
Speaker 3: He's still Lamar's most reliable receiver. He's still able to
Speaker 3: show up in the big moments. He's a very athletic
Speaker 3: tight end that they've been trying to utilize in different ways,
Speaker 3: Like we've seen him being a goal line back in
Speaker 3: times like how does this dude be able to find
Speaker 3: the end zone at any case? I mean, he had
Speaker 3: six touchdowns last season, which was tied second with tight ends.
Speaker 4: Last year.
Speaker 3: The dude only played ten games, So we already know
Speaker 3: this dude is going to have the same situation where
Speaker 3: he's going to be the guy that's going to have
Speaker 3: a healthy target share. He may not have more of
Speaker 3: a target share than Zay Flowers, but he's still going
Speaker 3: to have that healthy target share of at least twenty plus.
Speaker 3: So you can't you can't feel like you're losing out
Speaker 3: on any of these tight ends like Trede McBride or
Speaker 3: the Travis kel Sason when you have Mark Andrews sitting
Speaker 3: there outside the top three rounds and I'm like, hey,
Speaker 3: if I need a tight end, he will be the
Speaker 3: guy that I would target with an ADP in the
Speaker 3: fifth round. Right now, every single day I'm going to
Speaker 3: smash that. Yeah, like people kind of forgot and Mark Andrews.
Speaker 3: Mark Andrews and Trede McBride are the reason that I
Speaker 3: have very little Samlporter or Travis kelcey.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I.
Speaker 1: Can wait get those guys. Who do you like in
Speaker 1: the spot the.
Speaker 4: Flor Isaiah Pachecko. Look, you know, I hate the Chiefs,
Speaker 4: so it bends me to give them so much credit.
Speaker 4: But Isaiah Pachecko in the fourth round is a screaming
Speaker 4: value and I think come redraft time he might go
Speaker 4: a full round earlier, and I am fine paying that price.
Speaker 4: He averaged nineteen Fantasy points per game when he averaged
Speaker 4: over sixty percent when he played over sixty percent in
Speaker 4: the snaps. His target rate last year doubled from what
Speaker 4: it was his rookie year, and it only got higher
Speaker 4: as the season went on and he was heavily utilized
Speaker 4: down the stretch and in the playoffs. There's no Jerrick McKinnon.
Speaker 4: The only backup that could still work as of today
Speaker 4: is Clyde Edwards Hilaire. So he's gonna be playing with
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid offense, and what should be
Speaker 4: one of the best scoring offenses in the league, with
Speaker 4: more downfield threats than Pachecko has had since he's been
Speaker 4: on this team, which could help open up running lanes.
Speaker 4: I think this guy has league winning upside. The floor
Speaker 4: is very safe. The only concern I have is that
Speaker 4: early in the year the Chiefs tend to kind of
Speaker 4: ease their play, especially their running backs, and not give
Speaker 4: them the full workload. But I'm okay with that because
Speaker 4: if I make the Fantasy playoffs and this guy is
Speaker 4: getting his normal workload come then he could easily elevate
Speaker 4: me to a championship.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Like I'm starting to come around on Isaiah pa Checko.
Speaker 2: I have also drafted Clyde.
Speaker 4: I mean for sixteen whatever it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean like literal, it's like round seventeen or eighteen.
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, I'm not spending a value draft pick.
Speaker 1: It's just like, hey man, he's there, Like we'll click
Speaker 1: on it. But I am starting to come around at
Speaker 1: pa Checko in that in that offense, for sure. My
Speaker 1: guy is a guy who's going maybe a pick after
Speaker 1: Isaiah pa Checko, and that's Travis Atn the guy who's
Speaker 1: the top four running back last year, who has seen
Speaker 1: his touches go up. Uh, you know, over the last
Speaker 1: couple of years, has seen last year saw his targets
Speaker 1: and his catches go up significantly.
Speaker 2: It's also getting work down near the goal line.
Speaker 1: And sort of like Pa Checko, I'm not worried about
Speaker 1: the guys behind him. They keep trying to tell us
Speaker 1: that Tank Bigsby is coming, but it's but if you
Speaker 1: listen to it, it's, you know, he's starting to figure
Speaker 1: it out. We're hoping, we're we're we're hoping things are
Speaker 1: working out for for uh, for for what's this Tank Bigsby.
Speaker 1: I little I literally just blanked out. I literally had
Speaker 1: a brain fart right there. It's not like they're saying, hey,
Speaker 1: Tank's Bigsby is here, We're gonna work him into the offense.
Speaker 1: It's we are we are really hopeful things work out
Speaker 1: for Tank Bigsby. So that to me says this is
Speaker 1: the Travis et In show. The Ernest Johnson is a
Speaker 1: nice piece last year. I don't think either one of
Speaker 1: those guys UH is ready to really encroach upon Etn's
Speaker 1: options and to be able to get him, you know,
Speaker 1: in the fourth round, maybe even the fifth round, depending
Speaker 1: on where how things slot.
Speaker 2: I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1: For a guy that does have the potential to be
Speaker 1: a strong RB one, if you will get him that
Speaker 1: late feels feels pretty good to me for sure. Round
Speaker 1: six through ten, l Q, who you got, h man.
Speaker 3: If you're looking to like punt on running backs in
Speaker 3: those early rounds, I think Rashadway is the perfect candidate
Speaker 3: to be your RB one. I mean, if we're looking
Speaker 3: at his situation, Bucky Irvin doesn't really scare me that much,
Speaker 3: being that we know he's a red zone thread. We
Speaker 3: know he can catch passes. But man, when you have
Speaker 3: Liam Korman as the offensive coordinator, he just left Kentucky
Speaker 3: and knows how to utilize his RB one aka Ray
Speaker 3: Davis shout out to the FLOORO, you got a good
Speaker 3: guy in the building. But he had fourteen rushing touchdowns
Speaker 3: seven reception receiving touchdowns. So therefore, Rashad Wright was already
Speaker 3: a top five running back. Now when you look at
Speaker 3: his quarterback running backs have a history of eating under
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield. I mean since Baker Mayfield, it has been
Speaker 3: the start of his starting running back since twenty nineteen
Speaker 3: has not averaged less than fifteen Fantasy points per game.
Speaker 3: If you want to add cream Hunt to that, no
Speaker 3: less than thirteen Fantasy points per game.
Speaker 2: So the floor is.
Speaker 3: Very strong for Vershadway on an offense that just got
Speaker 3: a lot better on the old line. They went out
Speaker 3: and got the first round pick Garren Barton from Duke,
Speaker 3: and I really feels though this guy's a beast in
Speaker 3: the trend, just just bullying people off the line. So
Speaker 3: you get a little bit more efficiency through the tackles
Speaker 3: with Rashad Right, who already led the league in between
Speaker 3: the tackles and rushing yards. So I think it's gonna
Speaker 3: be a huge year for him to repeat as a
Speaker 3: top ten, top five running back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am as interested to see what his target
Speaker 1: share is going to because that went a long way
Speaker 1: toward helping him to where he was. Yeah, and look,
Speaker 1: I don't expect it have to be exactly the same.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he gets seventy again this year,
Speaker 1: but as long as it doesn't like fall off a cliff,
Speaker 1: I think he's in a really good spot there.
Speaker 4: He's a tough one for me to figure out. He
Speaker 4: value was as a receiving running back was probably the
Speaker 4: best in the NFL last year as a runner was
Speaker 4: one of the worst worst.
Speaker 2: Well because he was super inefficient. The offensive line was bad.
Speaker 1: It was not set up for him to be an
Speaker 1: efficient runner, and that was why he started getting those
Speaker 1: targets like, well, we still need to get you the ball.
Speaker 1: How about we just put you out in space and
Speaker 1: we'll throw it to you and we'll let you work there.
Speaker 1: And that helped Baker help Baker, help Rashad White help
Speaker 1: that offense greatly. Florido, your guy is a guy that
Speaker 1: I have been drafting a lot, at least when I can,
Speaker 1: because people seem to be on to him.
Speaker 2: But but I love the guy you have in this spot. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I considered a couple of other names, like James Connor,
Speaker 4: but we had already talked about him earlier, and Jayden
Speaker 4: Daniels was the other one. We talked about him a
Speaker 4: lot on previous shows. So Deontay Johnson still one of
Speaker 4: the very best separators in the NFL. He third highest
Speaker 4: un catchable target rate amongst wide receivers last year. Look,
Speaker 4: I say this all the time about guys in that posit,
Speaker 4: like he could have been Jerry Rice. It doesn't matter
Speaker 4: on those targets, he's getting open. He's doing his job.
Speaker 4: The quarterback didn't do his. But I expect Bryce Young
Speaker 4: to take the next step. With Dave Kanalis there who
Speaker 4: led to He was the QB coach for Ginal Smith
Speaker 4: breakout year two years ago. He was the OC for
Speaker 4: Baker's for Surgeon ear last year, and he has done
Speaker 4: wonders for wide receivers as well. Look at what happened
Speaker 4: to Mike Evans last year. I know Godwin didn't live
Speaker 4: up fantasy wise, but he still saw a bunch of volume.
Speaker 4: Oh you could say that about the Seattle guys the
Speaker 4: year prior to that as well. And then the Panthers
Speaker 4: have put all of their resource into the offense this year,
Speaker 4: so their defense is still going to be awful, which
Speaker 4: means they're going to be trailing a lot, which means
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to throw plenty. I mean volume alone
Speaker 4: made Adam Thiel in a wide receiver one for as
Speaker 4: stretch of last year. Deontay Johnson is both younger and better,
Speaker 4: and he goes as a wide receiver four like he's
Speaker 4: outside the top forty wide receivers. I don't get it.
Speaker 2: I don't get it either.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think one people are still
Speaker 1: on the the Panthers are bad, Brice Young is bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think I think people will look at the
Speaker 1: but he doesn't score touchdowns and I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: I mean, but he gets a ton of targets. Man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like my personal, Like my personal, I don't want
Speaker 3: to push his adp up too high because I still
Speaker 3: want to get them where we're talking about where he's
Speaker 3: at so I can win my leagues this year, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's like he's a target monster on a
Speaker 1: team that didn't have any last year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that alone should be worthwhile.
Speaker 1: I love Spears and I agree maybe I like j
Speaker 1: Spears last year even with Derek Henry. Okay, obviously, you know,
Speaker 1: the opportunities maybe weren't as great as I thought they
Speaker 1: would be, but I did see something there, and when
Speaker 1: Henry left, I was hoping, uh that it was set
Speaker 1: up for Spears to really step into the number one role.
Speaker 2: But then they go get Tony Pollard.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, well, but now you have two of
Speaker 1: the same thing, like you have you have fruit loops
Speaker 1: and fruit hoops, Like, what are you doing? Fruit hoops
Speaker 1: are a little bit nicer on my draft budget, right,
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna but they taste exactly the same.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go tay J.
Speaker 1: Spears there because the ADP is slightly better in an
Speaker 1: offense that's completely remaking itself. I have sort of talked
Speaker 1: myself into, I don't say believing in the Titans offense,
Speaker 1: but being interested in them because of you know, the
Speaker 1: Pollard and Spears dynamic, because I think Will Levis is
Speaker 1: going to be interesting to watch, because I want to
Speaker 1: see how Calvin Ridley fits in alongside uh DeAndre Hopkins there.
Speaker 1: So like, there are things about this offense I'm interested in.
Speaker 1: And to be able to get a guy like Spears
Speaker 1: who has that past catching up side, who has that
Speaker 1: just that that shake ability, right that the fact that
Speaker 1: he's really nice with the ball in his hands, we
Speaker 1: really get that and say round ten feels really really great.
Speaker 1: I think he and totally Pollar are going to have
Speaker 1: similar production when it's all said and done, and I
Speaker 1: can wait around later and get Spears in that spot
Speaker 1: last one rounds eleven or later. So Lafon the name
Speaker 1: you put here, I You're not alone. I'm hearing more
Speaker 1: and more people say this name. I'm just curious your
Speaker 1: your logic for it here.
Speaker 3: I mean, like when we really look at Nick Chubb
Speaker 3: as the player, I mean like, if there's anybody that
Speaker 3: can have a bounce back season from this freak accident,
Speaker 3: it's a freak athlete. I mean, like, I'm pretty sure
Speaker 3: the rehab video of him working out and like him
Speaker 3: lifting a complete bus over.
Speaker 2: His head is on the way.
Speaker 3: So I feel like the Browns understand, like when he's
Speaker 3: ready to go, Like I'm even taking him in these
Speaker 3: teen rounds, like the twelfth round is crazy to me.
Speaker 3: When I'm looking at the choices down there. You have
Speaker 3: Ty Chandler, you have Ze, you have the zach Sharbon
Speaker 3: and he's like, ugh, it just feels yucky. But when
Speaker 3: you have Nick Chubb, and the Browns understand when he's
Speaker 3: ready to go, it's his backfield. There's no question. There's
Speaker 3: no more Jerome Ford, there's no Deonta Foreman, There's no
Speaker 3: other person going to be touching the ball other than
Speaker 3: Nick Chubb when he's ready to go. So I just
Speaker 3: believe in what he has shown us over the years
Speaker 3: of that he is a freak athlete, and I believe
Speaker 3: in this bounce back and if I can get him
Speaker 3: as my RB four, what are we doing here? Man,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take that chance.
Speaker 2: I want to believe.
Speaker 1: I I wish nothing but the best for Nick Chubb,
Speaker 1: and I wish nothing for the best, nothing but the
Speaker 1: best for people who draft Nick Chubb.
Speaker 2: I just can't be one of them.
Speaker 1: Oh come on, I did, yeah a freak.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, until you aren't right.
Speaker 1: And it's just like the the I think, just the
Speaker 1: the accumulation of injuries and the fact that we don't
Speaker 1: even know when he's gonna be back, Like I think
Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing for me, Like I don't know
Speaker 1: when he's getting back.
Speaker 3: We still need more reports.
Speaker 2: It's still really I like said I here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I don't mind being wrong on this one, right, Like,
Speaker 1: if I see this one out and he comes back
Speaker 1: and he balls, like, hey man, I will tip my
Speaker 1: hat and be like, this is amazing miracle. I'm scared.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. I'm just I'm scared. I'm scared.
Speaker 4: Man, twenty eight second time having a knee, This knee hurt.
Speaker 2: And it was so bad. This is amazing.
Speaker 4: Wouldn't show it on TV? Like I'll bring up Todd
Speaker 4: Garley again. I love Talker, my favorite running back ever.
Speaker 4: He was a beast until that he didn't allow him
Speaker 4: to be a beast anymore. And that's my fear with
Speaker 4: Nick Chubb in bastball round eleven or twelve fine in redraft,
Speaker 4: that bench spot as you're waiting for him is gonna
Speaker 4: it's gonna hurt.
Speaker 1: I think if I, if you know, if I have
Speaker 1: an IR spot, maybe it's worth it. If I have
Speaker 1: the IR spot and I'm not holding it by our spot. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's not's a mission. Make sure you had an IR spot.
Speaker 1: It's just everybody will love you more. Okay, Florida, Yours
Speaker 1: is the guy that I I can be talked into
Speaker 1: coming around on.
Speaker 4: I did not plan on being on this guy. I
Speaker 4: look for years. I even before Austin Eckler was good
Speaker 4: and had a fantasy football show, I was like, this
Speaker 4: guy is amazing, Like he should be getting more work
Speaker 4: and we should be talking him up as a fantasy community.
Speaker 4: And there was the summer of the pandemic where I
Speaker 4: pretty much spent every day online arguing for Austin Eckler.
Speaker 4: And I feel like I'm ready to go out the
Speaker 4: way we came in because everyone wants Brian Robinson now
Speaker 4: or believes that he will be the better of the
Speaker 4: two running backs. He's going, yeah, I know that's your guy, LQ.
Speaker 4: He's going two full rounds earlier than Austin Eckler. And
Speaker 4: the thing. One thing about Eckler, and I've touched on
Speaker 4: this in the past, is he had that high ankle
Speaker 4: sprain in the week one went on, the IR came
Speaker 4: back and then he himself said he immediately sprained his
Speaker 4: other ankle. We've seen high ankle sprains ruin people's season before.
Speaker 4: Now imagine with another sprained ankle on top of that,
Speaker 4: and especially down the stretch for the Chargers, where there
Speaker 4: was no Mike Williams, there was no Keenan Allen, there
Speaker 4: was no Justin Herbert. It looked pretty ugly, and rightfully so,
Speaker 4: because defenses were harping in on him. But I put
Speaker 4: out a poll the other day who gets more goal
Speaker 4: one work between the two? Seventy three percent of people
Speaker 4: voted Brian Robinson. Last year alone, Austin Eckler had a
Speaker 4: higher rate of converting goal line touches into touchdowns, and
Speaker 4: for the last two seasons it's literally double what Brian
Speaker 4: Robinson has been. So the thinking is like, this bigger
Speaker 4: back is going to be the goal line back. But
Speaker 4: that's been the thinking all of Austin Eckler's career, and
Speaker 4: he continues to prove people wrong. So I understand that
Speaker 4: maybe at this point of his career he could be
Speaker 4: bottoming out. And if he costs a fifth round pick
Speaker 4: to get him, sure I'd be out on him. But
Speaker 4: it cost a late eleventh round pick to get a
Speaker 4: guy who was the RB one two years ago and
Speaker 4: scored over twenty touchdowns in two years in a row.
Speaker 4: So to me, I just feel like we're all kind
Speaker 4: of putting Austin Eckler out to pasture, and I think
Speaker 4: it might be a little premature.
Speaker 1: Well I think that's the thing for me, is that
Speaker 1: the ADPs have shamed changed so much. Like earlier, when
Speaker 1: you had to spend more to get UH, to get
Speaker 1: Austin Eckler, it was a different sort of situation. Now
Speaker 1: he's going after Brian Robinson, you know, like he is
Speaker 1: going a couple of rounds later. So now I'm like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: if that's the case, then yeah, I'm probably back in
Speaker 1: on Austin Ecklier because he's still going to catch the football.
Speaker 2: I mean, my thought was he's going he was, he's
Speaker 2: not gonna catch the.
Speaker 1: Football, maybe as much because you've got a quarterback who
Speaker 1: can run in Jayden Daniels. But he's still going to
Speaker 1: catch the football. They're still going to use him. They mean,
Speaker 1: they've brought him in for a reason, and if I
Speaker 1: can get him after Like I loved Robinson when he
Speaker 1: was going later, now that it's flipped, I think I'm
Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you. I'm back on the come on,
Speaker 1: let's go, let's let's get it out. Man against you?
Speaker 2: Just did see your.
Speaker 4: Tweet the other day, b rob borderline RB one that's spicy.
Speaker 1: Yes, Oh wait wait is that what you're tweeted? Oh
Speaker 1: then maybe I am against you? Yeah, yes, borderline RB one.
Speaker 3: Worder line RB one.
Speaker 2: Hear it?
Speaker 3: Now I'm stamping it. But we will save this debate
Speaker 3: for another pod. We will say for another pot.
Speaker 2: I look, I welcome revisiting this at some point. Let's go.
Speaker 1: Okay, uh my guy in this in this later rounds,
Speaker 1: it remains Jermaine Burton.
Speaker 2: It has been for a while.
Speaker 1: It's just it's believing in a quarterback that we know
Speaker 1: when healthy can support three wide receivers. You put him
Speaker 1: with a wide receiver who is supremely talented. Just on
Speaker 1: the field, Burton is has the ability to be a
Speaker 1: huge playmaker there. And yes, Jamar Chase is going to
Speaker 1: occupy a lot of targets, and yes T Higgins is
Speaker 1: going to get his targets, but we have seen that
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow can support three guys in this offense. I
Speaker 1: think Jermaine Burton has the potential to really be a
Speaker 1: playmaker here. And the fact that you're getting him, you know,
Speaker 1: in the double digit rounds, you're not expecting him to
Speaker 1: have to be a guy you're starting every week. He
Speaker 1: could be a flex option, he could be for you,
Speaker 1: available for you in deeper leagues. It has the ability
Speaker 1: to break out and really maybe outplay his ADP in
Speaker 1: this offense. I love him. I just love him in
Speaker 1: this spot. I mean I've I've been all over him
Speaker 1: in Best Ball Draft and I think I'll probably take
Speaker 1: a swing in some some redraft leagues too if I
Speaker 1: get the opportunity.
Speaker 4: I'm right there with you on this one.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I agree.
Speaker 4: Two years ago, Joe Burrow had all three of his
Speaker 4: guys top forty wide receivers. Jermaine Burton's barely going as
Speaker 4: a top seventy guy, and he's the kind of downfield
Speaker 4: player where even unlimited volume he could still produce.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm it's totally worth taking a shot on
Speaker 1: him at that point for sure for me. All Right,
Speaker 1: that was Drive Your Draft, presented by the all new
Speaker 1: hybrid Toyota Camray. Whatever your vibe, it's a camera vibe.
Speaker 1: Learn more at Toyota dot com slash Camray. Gonna dive
Speaker 1: into some Scott Fish Bowl updates that's coming up after
Speaker 1: the break on the NFL Fantasy Football podcast. Slow Drafts
Speaker 1: ongoing for the Scott Fish Bowl. Now, lak on, wait
Speaker 1: you are you're doing the live draft right, So you
Speaker 1: haven't drafted anything yet?
Speaker 3: Right, No, I'm just enjoying the fun watching everybody else's
Speaker 3: teams and kind of taking notes and things to do
Speaker 3: and things not to do because there's some spicy draft
Speaker 3: boards out there. Man, it's getting crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So, now, Floria, how far along are you in
Speaker 1: your draft?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 4: We have really slowed down. I've made three picks.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so we've made the same number of picks.
Speaker 1: Oh, my my draft is just my draft has just
Speaker 1: gotten into the fourth round. In fact, uh, the four
Speaker 1: dot three is on the clock right now.
Speaker 4: My draft just made the four dot three pick.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we're about we're about the same spots.
Speaker 2: So now what what are your first three picks? Uh?
Speaker 4: So from the eleventh spot, I started Tyreek Hill, and
Speaker 4: then in the second round, I strongly debated just punting
Speaker 4: quarterback and going with Jamar Chase, but I opted to
Speaker 4: go with Jade and Daniels, And in retrospect, I was
Speaker 4: happy I did because after the third round reversal, I
Speaker 4: got aj Brown in round three, So I got two
Speaker 4: top six or seven wide receivers and I have Jayden
Speaker 4: Daniels as my quarterback.
Speaker 1: All right, So I you know, I have gone sort
Speaker 1: of against what I thought I was gonna do, and
Speaker 1: I feel like that's okay. In a draft like this,
Speaker 1: you can sort of get weird and get wild a
Speaker 1: little bit. I started my first round pick was CJ. Stroud,
Speaker 1: and then it came back around at the two dot five,
Speaker 1: and I thought maybe I was gonna go with a
Speaker 1: wide receiver, but I just saw the way quarterbacks were
Speaker 1: flying off the board and got nervous. So I wrot
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray as my second pick. So I've got
Speaker 1: I've got Cjan and Kyler Murray. Then after the third
Speaker 1: round reversal, again I got a little nervous. Would admit
Speaker 1: I got a little nervous. Sometimes it happens to even
Speaker 1: those of us who study this sort of thing, knowing
Speaker 1: that there's a tight end premium and seeing the tight
Speaker 1: ends flying off the board third round reversal.
Speaker 2: At the three five, I took Kyle Pitts.
Speaker 3: Ooh, be back in on the Pits train.
Speaker 1: I never left. I never got off my I never
Speaker 1: got I might have gone to the I might have
Speaker 1: gone to the dining car and had something to eat,
Speaker 1: but I never got off the train.
Speaker 2: Well thought I did.
Speaker 1: I thought about why, and it's funny because I saw
Speaker 1: the tight end starting to go, and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: really want to make sure I get myself a good one.
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, maybe Mark Andrews.
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews went like two picks before me, so I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: now I got to figure out what I want to do.
Speaker 1: I'm like, it felt way too early to go for
Speaker 1: George Kittle. I was worried though, that if I didn't
Speaker 1: get one, that somehow Pitts and Kittle would both be
Speaker 1: gone by the time it got back to me.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, all right, I'll reach a little bit.
Speaker 1: I'll take Pitts, I'll get that tight end premium on
Speaker 1: a guy I think is gonna have a really good year.
Speaker 2: So, and the way.
Speaker 1: It's shaping up there, look like there should still be
Speaker 1: some good wide receivers.
Speaker 2: I'll go wide receiver next.
Speaker 1: Potentially there's some good wide receivers still out there that
Speaker 1: I can get in my next pick and maybe take
Speaker 1: a running back somewhere along the way too.
Speaker 3: That's kind of been the trend. There's, yeah, in like
Speaker 3: a lot of people saying there's going to be some
Speaker 3: good wide receivers, you know, after you go out and
Speaker 3: get the quarterback and tight end, just to play into
Speaker 3: the premium. So I think that's kind of my strategy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are there have been more running backs taken
Speaker 1: than I would have anticipated so far.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the first down and per tempt bonus and
Speaker 3: stuff like. I think my strategy there is to get
Speaker 3: guys like Derrick Henry. You know that's gonna be in
Speaker 3: those situations to get the first down to convert, like
Speaker 3: a lot of the third down conversion percentages, Like, I
Speaker 3: think that's where people need to look at they want
Speaker 3: to get the edge. I still haven't drafted yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think that's that's probably fair. I mean,
Speaker 1: so some of the looking at some of the wide
Speaker 1: receivers still available in my draft at this point, Chris Olave,
Speaker 1: Devontae Adams, Drake London, Michael Pittman Man, that's a good
Speaker 1: step on Diggs, DJ Moore, Jaylen Wattle, Nick Collins, Thore
Speaker 1: are some of the wide receivers. Some of the running
Speaker 1: backs still out there, Josh Jacobs, Rashad White, we just
Speaker 1: talked about Asaapa check O, James Cook, Kenneth Walker, Joe Mixon.
Speaker 2: Those are all some of the running backs available.
Speaker 4: And there I'm looking at it right now. There are
Speaker 4: three teams between me. Look, who knows in this league
Speaker 4: people could double dip on tight ends. But there's three
Speaker 4: teams between me that are between me and my current
Speaker 4: pick right now that don't have a tight end. But
Speaker 4: Kyle Pitts is still on the board, so I'm hoping
Speaker 4: to join her in that in that party and get him.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 3: I hoping that live draft I'll be able to get
Speaker 3: pits as well.
Speaker 2: Wait forget, I forget. You're you're in. You're back in
Speaker 2: now on Kyle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm back in. I bought my ticket, you know,
Speaker 3: I see you guys on the train.
Speaker 2: Hey, what's up? I'm the man right now? Yeah, man,
Speaker 2: that that's flame.
Speaker 1: Mignon has been fantastic anyway. As there it is the
Speaker 1: Scott fish Bowl underway for everybody who's participating, best of luck.
Speaker 1: I always feel like this is the best part of
Speaker 1: the Scott fish Bowl is the draft and kind of
Speaker 1: see how things go because we all know that once
Speaker 1: the season starts, the waiver wire is it is it's useless.
Speaker 1: I mean it is bearing. Uh it's like you know,
Speaker 1: tattooing in the summer. There's just nothing out there.
Speaker 2: So so this is the fun part seeing what the
Speaker 2: team is put together.
Speaker 1: And also the next fun part is going back in
Speaker 1: week one and looking at your roster and being like.
Speaker 2: What the hell was I doing? You know, they are
Speaker 2: always good, you.
Speaker 1: Know, like you do this in July and you're like
Speaker 1: this looks great, and then you look at it in
Speaker 1: early September You're like, this is trash man?
Speaker 2: What's wrong with me? Who hyped me up?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: Right, who did this? Who did this?
