Time 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:11.240 now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly source 0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:15.360 for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, and whatever 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:18.360 stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show. Now, 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:23.880 here's your host, Paul Charge emphasis on the stupid stuff 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:27.400 this week. Yeah, you know, Brian, most of these editions 0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:30.600 of Fantasy Football Weekly, you and I are breaking down 0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:36.680 yards over expectation, advanced analytics. We don't have a lot 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:40.280 of shows that are just kind of silly fun and 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.000 that's fun, and that's that's this show. They're fun, but 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:47.800 they're working there, work for us. Yes, this is we were. 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:52.560 We were having an offline conversation about one Hit Wonders, 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:56.000 fantasy one hit Wonders, not the musical one hit Wonders, 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.520 of which the greatest one hit wonder of all time 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:04.080 musically Dexi's Midnight Runners with Come On, Eileen, the most 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:08.080 important comma in the history of music. Now the runner 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:13.039 up is Chumba Womba with tub thumping. Yeah, that would 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:14.880 be that to me? Is the number is the runner 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.959 up musically for one Hit Wonders. I'm drawn a blank. 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:22.560 There are a lot out there. Hundred that's a I mean, 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:26.880 that's right up high school. And so yeah, that was 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:31.039 overplayed a lot overplayed songs. And but they all were, 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:33.360 they all were. You know, it's not like now. It's 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:35.000 not like now you just go load up your own 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.360 playlist and just only hear songs you love. Back then, 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.640 you had to listen to whatever they were playing. You know, 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.840 it's less so this now, for sure. But one hit 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:48.080 wonders from a fantasy standpoint in past years, but also 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.760 some of the one hit wonders that we think may 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.800 have happened last season. Candidates who have been one hit 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:57.400 wonders last year. So guys who put up like they're 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.480 one good year and are they going to come back 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.720 and be able to do it again? But let's have 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:03.480 a little fun to talk about some of the past 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:05.800 one hit wonders. Yeah, we're gonna do a draft, right, 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:12.000 so we're kind of these guys. But uh yeah, Number one, 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.240 there's no arguing this one. The rest we can debate, 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:21.360 like jockeying positions. One the fantasy one hit wonder of 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:26.720 all time one one hillis in two thousand and ten 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.200 for the Cleveland Browns. Again, no arguing this I won't 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:34.880 have it. After two seasons with the Broncos to start 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.720 his career, Hillis went to Cleveland in twenty ten and 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.919 had a season for the Ages with one thousand, one 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:45.600 hundred and seventy seven rushing yards and eleven touchdowns. Wow, 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.400 he did it through the air. Two added sixty one 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.679 catches for four hundred and seventy seven yards and two touchdowns. 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.280 And oh yeah, he landed on the cover of Madden 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.880 Madden as a result. Now, Grant, I'm pretty sure that 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.240 was a fan vote, but everyone was voting for Peyton Hillis. Yeah, 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.639 after that. It was exciting at the time, and there's 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.040 a huge push from Cleveland, of course, but the good 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.239 times and not last too long for Hillis, sadly would 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.600 only go on to play four more seasons, one more 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.600 with Cleveland, then he went to Kansas City then finished 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.480 his career with two seasons with the Giants, where he 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.799 totalled fifteen hundred and three comboy yards and just six 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.640 touchdowns in those four seasons. So he had a better 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.440 year in twenty ten than he did for the remainder 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:29.440 of his career. Pretty much his whole career, everything just 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.520 came out of nowhere. Yeah, absolute league winner and it 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.400 was just like it was insane and he was in 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:39.000 the news recently. He saved saved a life his own children. 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.760 I think both kids almost lost his but thankfully he 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:46.280 came through that because absolute legend one hund Payton hillis 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.680 absolutely I think that that certainly counts um and and 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:54.000 good for him on literally saving lives. When you saving 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:59.320 a drownding victim, very dicey because the drowned will try 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.720 to kill you inadvertently while you're trying to save them 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.680 because they're in a panic. Assuming that's what happened to 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.000 hillis because he was an intensive care for quite some time, 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.360 I think that's I think that's right. He's good to 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.040 go now. Thankfully. I want to bring up as my 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.600 one hit wonder And by the way, we used year 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.400 two thousand as our cut offs or we're not going. 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:23.719 We're going with quasi reason one hit wonders. David Johnson 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:31.520 posted a two thousand, one hundred yard season with twenty touchdowns, 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:39.599 unbelievable twenty sixteen. David Johnson pulled all that together. The 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.920 next year was a hard Knox year for them, and 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:45.440 we got to see David Johnson in the offseason and 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.919 his beautiful girlfriend who eventually I think ended up marrying. Um, 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.400 I forgot that they did because they've done the Cardinals 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.200 twice now because they well the Cardinals was in season, 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.680 so that's right. Yeah, this is the one where, yeah 0:04:57.800 --> 0:04:59.840 they were preseason. Yeah, it was the Priests. They didn't 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:03.799 have the in season. One's back. So for the rest 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:07.320 of David Johnson's career, outside of his twenty one hundred 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:13.040 yard twenty touchdown season, his average non twenty sixteen season 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:18.200 was six hundred eighty yards and five touchdowns, So fifteen 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:23.920 hundred fewer yards in fifteen fewer touchdowns for David Johnson 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.839 through the rest of his career. Yeah, I remember season 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.920 average in twenty seventeen understandably, so he was basically the 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.120 top overall pick and that broke his hand or something 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.400 in like I think it was hand. Yeah, that was 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:39.160 that was brutal. I actually added David Johnson last year 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.760 because he made he was on the Saints roster. Yeah, 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.280 one point he was. And this is a deep dynasty league. 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.080 Or I was just throwing darts wherever I could, and 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.880 I was like, David Johnson, let's see, No, that he 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:50.960 got some carry. I mean, it was crazy that he 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.800 was even the last think only out of desperation. Yeah, 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.400 but you know, and it's not that he was a 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.880 bad player, but he obviously fell into the exact right 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.320 situation in twenty sixteen, and he was a decent enough 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.120 catcher receiver that they helped him that way too, a 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.479 little bit through the air. All right, who's your who's 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.080 your your second selection or our third overall? In our 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.120 one hit wonders, I'm staying in Cleveland and going with 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:19.040 tight end Gary Barnage in twenty fifteen, Gary Barnage. Barely 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:22.200 remember Gary Barnage. You will remember this probably well well, 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.520 you will remember this. Prior to the twenty fifteen season, 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.039 Barnage had been in the league for seven years. He 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.000 missed all of twenty eleven with a broken angle, but 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.960 no one missed him then. During that time, he totalled 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.160 four hundred or sorry, forty four catches, six hundred and 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.000 three yards and three touchdowns with the Panthers and the Browns. 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:42.520 Then came twenty fifteen. Barnage saw one hundred and twenty 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.839 five targets. She's he had eighty career targets prior to 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:49.040 that wow one twenty five targets. He finished with seventy 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.320 nine catches, one tho forty three yards and nine touchdowns, 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.360 finished his tight end four. It was just out of notally. 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.640 No one was drafting him. He was waiver wire gold. 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.880 He was drafted such in twenty sixteen as a top 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.839 tight end option. People are like, oh, Gary Barnage, but 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:08.880 that turned out to be his last year. No, it 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:12.120 was his last year. Wow, that was it hed sports 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.559 herney surgery and I onlyink he ever really Wow again 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.440 he was. That was like his ninth year in the league. 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.960 Two he's probably thirty two, but uh yeah, that was. 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.600 I mean he had a fifty five catches, six hundred 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.200 and twelve yards, two touchdowns the next year. But nothing 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:29.920 like that magical twenty fifteen for Gary Barnage. Maybe a 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.200 guy I should have used last time, because I think 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:37.040 this is another standard bear for one hit wonders Josh Gordon, 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:43.080 that magical twenty thirteen season that people still remember and 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.320 go back to when we draft. Josh Gordon was on 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:49.840 fantasy rosters last year based really only on what he 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:54.040 did in twenty thirteen with Jason Campbell throwing him the 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:58.840 ball when he led the NFL with sixteen hundred receiving 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:03.680 yards and the longest average reception in the NFL. And 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:05.240 he didn't even play, by the way, the first two 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.320 games of that season, because and you'll be shocked by this, 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.720 he had been suspended for the first two games of 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.080 the twenty thirteen season. But Josh Gordon still led the 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:19.680 NFL in receiving yards his average game one hundred seventeen 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:24.160 yards that year. He was awesome. He was amazing. I 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.600 went back to his Wikipedia page because I was trying 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.040 to figure out how many times Josh Gordon got suspended. 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:33.160 I believe if I counted it upright, it was six 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.160 NFL suspensions, and he got suspended in college, which I 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.839 had not remembered. He got suspended in college as well. 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.520 And the funny thing is it was all marijuana. They 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.400 only even test for marijuana in a two week window. 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:50.839 Now he would have like no suspensions by today's standards, potentially, 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.040 and an honorable mention. Who a player who sadly kind 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.360 of had the same career arc with we'll call it 0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:00.679 troubles with marijuana, was justin Blackman with the Jaguars. I 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.600 don't think he ever had the talent. But oh no, 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:06.040 he had the talent. He had agree level. Oh he's 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.440 one good year, I'll look it up. Did Oh yeah, 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.560 I mean he was a blue hit prospect. Oh, it 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:13.800 was like the third pick in the draft. I remember that, 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:17.720 but I don't remember ever putting together a meaningful NFL season. 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.160 I got it right. Hold on, it'll be like twenty. 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:21.960 He'll be right around that. I think he would. I'm 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:25.160 gonna go pick four. It was the Matt Khalil year 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.280 or something. I would have been a twenty like fifteen, 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.079 Well he was. I'm sorry. He showed promise as a 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:34.080 rookie his rookie year in twenty twelve. Uh, in just 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:37.720 fourteen games. Uh, eight hundred and sixty five yards, five touchdowns. 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.240 He was starting eight hundred yards as a rookie's good 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.880 in five touchdowns. But then twenty thirteen he played four 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:46.880 games and that was it. That that's unbelievable. Wow, he 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.280 was a first round pick though if I recall correctly, 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:50.920 it's not showing me on this page. Oh he was. 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.280 He was like the fourth or fifth pick in the draft. Yeah, 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.640 he was very high down draft pick. But he's in Jacksonville, 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:56.960 so he knew he was at the top of the draft. 0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:00.320 So that that's three Browns. How about that to come 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.760 three three Browns out of four? Pick We're not done. Yeah, 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.520 that's the funny thing, all right, So one hit wonders, 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.800 you've we've got four under our belt. Who's next. I'm 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.840 gonna go with my This is my one non brown? No, yeah, no, 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.560 my one non brown. This is your only non Browns. 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.840 I got a Bronco, I got a Denver Bronco Brandon 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.600 Lloyd in twenty ten. Prior to the twenty ten season, 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.040 which was his second with the Broncos, people knew about 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.200 Brandon Lloyd mainly for his like occasional eye popping catches 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:33.440 made something crazy highlight reel catches in his six seasons 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.280 forty nine Ers. Yeah, with the forty nine Ers, and 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.040 then he was with Washington before Denver. Uh. He was 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.599 waiver wire early on with the Niners, but kind of 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.720 like a weekly streamer type guy. Never never a household name, 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.079 especially in the fantasy football community. But then came twenty ten. 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.520 And by the way, if you somehow grabbed Brandon Lloyd 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.720 and Peyton Hillos off waivers in twenty ten, good for you. 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.400 Those only two players right to win your league, right, 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.600 But in twenty ten, Lloyd racked up seventy seven catches, 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.800 fourteen hundred and forty eight receiving yards, and eleven touchdowns. Wow. 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:07.679 Technically only started eleven games. He played all sixteen, but 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.000 he wasn't even a starter until you know, a third 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:14.600 into the season. He led the league in the receiving yards. 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.079 He had fifty nine more yards than Roddy White, who 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.320 finished second. The only wide receivers with more touchdowns than 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.360 Lloyd that year were Dwayne Bow, who maybe could have 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.560 been on this list, but people were expecting things from 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.240 Duyne Bow, big things from Duayne Bow, and he didn't 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.439 produce that year. But only receivers who had more touchdowns 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.640 again were Dwayne Bow, Greg Jennings, and a guy named 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.199 Calvin Johnson who most remember he did He did okay, 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.480 but then Lloyd went on to play several more seasons. 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.480 He'd never quite replicated that success he had in twenty 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:46.120 fifteen before I'm start in twenty ten before retiring in 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.079 twenty fifteen, but just an absolute monster in twenty ten. 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.880 You're gonna kill Browns fans if it turns out that 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:56.800 your candidates, one of your candidates for the for the 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:58.960 one hit Wonder status from last year that we're gonna 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:00.640 We're gonna hit down these at the end of the show. 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.520 If one of those is a Brown, we'll find out 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:08.160 we will Beanie Wells. Remember the name Beanie Wells. He 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.040 had a nice twenty eleven season where he scored eleven 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.760 touchdowns put up over a thousand yards, but he was 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:16.240 only in the league for four years, and by comparison, 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.640 his average non twenty eleven was three hundred yards and 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.880 two touchdowns. So he had the one good year and 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:29.160 back on November twenty seventh, twenty eleven, Wells Beanie Wells 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.839 set a cardinal single game and personal record. He ran 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.440 for two hundred twenty eight yards in one game. Then 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.360 what happened in twenty twelve You might be wondering for 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.920 Beanie Wells. Well he got turf toe and that kept 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:43.959 him out of the first half of the season. Then 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.400 he comes back from the turf toe in twenty eighteen 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:50.320 and Beanie Wells has a bad game against the Bears 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.440 four yards down. It's Week seventeen of that season. He 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.679 has a four yard game against the Bears and then 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:59.640 In the ensuing week, he's it's coming up to the 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:03.960 last week of the season, and Beanie Wells declares that 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.680 this week is his audition week for the other thirty 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.120 one teams in the league to see what he can 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:14.040 bring to the table. So what happens. Cardinals head coach 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.560 Ken wizzen Hunt benches him. He doesn't get to play 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.679 at all, and he doesn't get to audition for anybody. Beanie, 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.120 what are you doing? Yeah, it didn't work out well 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:27.400 for Beanie Wells. Let's go to player number seven. After 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.280 we take a break.

You really don't care? 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:24.160 We're gonna we care what you think. Ryan, We've already 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.360 knocked down six of the one hit wonders. Give me 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:31.400 the seventh and is three Browns, two Cardinals. Yeah, what 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:35.200 a Bronco and a parent tree. And guess what. We're 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:39.520 going back to Cleveland with Thrill Prior a tortured fan 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:43.200 base in twenty sixteen. Now you can say no one 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.240 saw this coming, but that isn't true. I remember it 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.560 like it was yesterday. Charge twas the night before Fantasy 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:53.520 football training camp, and I was sitting in my house. Yeah, 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:55.800 I'm not gonna I'm gonna stop rhyming there or stop 0:14:55.880 --> 0:15:00.760 the Christmas Eve thing. But yeah, I was watching Cleveland's 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:04.560 a Cleveland preseason game, and Terrell Prior was going into 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.120 his first year as a wide receiver. Yeah, the quarterback. 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:10.560 He had been drafted by the Raiders quarterback quarterback out 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.760 of Ohio State Universities. There were expectations of him being 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.160 a great NFL quarterback, but that didn't happen, so they 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.520 converted him to wide receiver. But I'm watching this preseason game, 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.240 and yes it was the preseason, and it was probably 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.080 like the second or third quarter or so. He's not 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.880 up against the starters. But I'm like, man, this dude 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.520 looks like Terrell Owens out there physically, and he was 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.960 making plays. And I'm like, you know what, I don't 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:34.200 have my sleeper pegged for training camp the next day. 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.160 I gotta state, Terrell Prior, just throw a you know, 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.960 last round pick. Take a chance in Terroll Prior. Now, 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:44.000 I was braided by you, I'm sure, and the room 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.480 of hundreds of people, they all booed you. And it 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.760 was a thousand people, by the way, vociferously booing you. 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:51.480 I could hear we could hear the people booing in 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.760 their cars driving around the state of Minnesota, and I 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.720 was getting it on Twitter. I was like, man, my 0:15:56.800 --> 0:16:01.280 feelings were hurt, but I was right Terrell for that year. 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.880 You were right for that year, for that year. And yeah, 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.160 he people went on to draft him the next year 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.480 and did not work out. But yes, in twenty sixteen, 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.120 he had seventy seven catches over a thousand yards and 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.680 four receiving touchdowns. He added a rushing touchdown. Not massive 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:18.200 touchdown totals, but those are incredible numbers for a converted 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.120 quarterback who was not getting drafted. It was just an 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.880 epic season for Terrell prior. But that was all she 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.840 wrote for for Terrell was the league caught up to 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:30.920 him somehow. Man, imagine if he just focused on being 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:37.040 a wide receiver, right, that's a position to almost nobody 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.880 makes a transition too late in their career, and by 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:42.280 the time you get to the pros, I'm saying you're 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.520 late in your career. Wide receiver is a hard position 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:49.200 to pick up. Remember Matt Jones, Yeah right, people quarterback, Yeah, 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.120 people thought he might make that, but he was drafted 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.760 as a wide receiver. He couldn't even do it. He 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:56.360 wasn't he wasn't expected play. He went early too. They 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.640 took him with a meaningful draft selection. As I wrote, 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.000 he was a first round pick. Was he really pretty 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:04.080 sure or a second I remember my buddy was obsessed 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.760 with him in Madden like we would be dining Smo Beatty. 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:08.720 He's like he was the biggest Matt Jones fans in 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:11.760 the world of it. He did not have any hits 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.000 Matt Jones he took. He was a no hit wonder 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.000 he was taking hits of something else. Yeah, that that 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.800 makes more. It wasn't marijuana. Oh all right, you just 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:21.560 outed your friend as a myth head. No, no, no no, 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:27.120 Matt Jones, all right, okay. Ryan Grant in twenty nineteen, 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:28.720 do you remember what team he played for? Oh? Yeah, 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:32.240 Green Bay Packer and Bay Packers fourteen hundred yards two 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.160 thousand and nine, two thousand nine, Thank you, I miss 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:38.640 spoke fourteen hundred yards and eleven touchdowns his average. Every 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.840 other average season other than twenty nineteen, he averaged a 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:46.200 thousand fewer yards in three touchdowns. He is the all 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:50.919 time postseason single game rushing leader and Packers history with 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.840 a two hundred and one yard rushing game against Seattle. 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.439 Save for Ryan Grant, save that for Jeopardy or at 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:58.840 least bar room trivia. There you go. Even Packer fans 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.760 couldn't identify that. I think so. Then you might be 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.080 wondering what happened to Ryan Grant in twenty ten. Well, 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:06.720 he shattered his ankle and the season opener went on 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:10.399 season ending. Ir lost his jobs to James Starks in 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:12.760 the next year, it was a two headed monster for 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:16.200 James Starks and Ryan Grant in a committee in Green Bay, 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.560 and then he was done. Then came over I'm on 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.879 Green or he was before that. I'm on Green was 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:24.920 before that? Yeah, he was before that. Yeah, I'm on Green. 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:26.760 Was really good by the Oh yeah he was leading. 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.440 He was not a one hit wonder, Yeah, no, he was. 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:32.080 He was a no Sam Kangato. If we want to 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.359 go with a a year random, remember Sam Tondado. That's like 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.360 two thousand or something or twenty two thousand and two 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:41.520 or something. Packers lore all right, our ninth of ten 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:45.720 one hit wonder players, Fantasy one hit wonders. Who you got? 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:49.440 I got another Cleveland Brown No quarterback this time? Yeah, 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:52.560 Derek Anderson in two thousand and seven, which was the 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:56.000 second season in the NFL. Technically, Anderson started the year 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:59.080 as quarterback three on the Browns depth chart, behind Charlie 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:03.399 Fry and rookie Brady Quinn. Yeah, Crady Quinn was a 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.359 like the six player taken in the draft tenth or 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.840 something like that. But those are back in those days. 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:10.880 They wouldn't really start there. Even though they threw Tim 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:14.000 Couch into the fire a few that was that was 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:17.760 several years before, but uh Fry was clearly not the guy. 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.359 He was benched after Week one. He was actually traded 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:23.679 a couple days later to the Seahawks, I believe, and 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:25.600 the Browns didn't want to turn to Quinn yet, so 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:29.240 they turned to Derek Anderson in Week two, where he 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:31.560 went on to lead the Cleveland Browns to victory by 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:34.040 throwing three hundred and twenty eight yards and five touchdown 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:37.959 pass He further went on that season to throw from 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:41.920 nearly thirty eight hundred yards and twenty nine touchdowns finished 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:45.280 as quarterback six that year, the Browns almost made the playoffs. 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:49.320 They were winning games with Derek Anderson, but sadly, Anderson 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:52.439 did not turn out to be Kurt Warner two point zero. 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:55.080 He did say in the league for eleven more years, 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:57.639 but mostly as a backup. He threw just twenty six 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:01.240 touchdown passes from two thousand in an eight to twenty 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:05.160 eighteen for retiring, but two thousand and seven We'll never 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:09.600 forget you, Derek Anderson. Magical, magical year for Cleveland. Yeah man, 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:15.280 the Browns again tortured fan base. A quick um Tim 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:20.600 Couch story for you back in our magazine days. So 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:24.000 this is uh said Christmas have been in the late nineties. 0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:26.600 I would guess we had different players that would put 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:30.000 on the covers of our magazine based on where we 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:32.760 were selling. That you know, where we were going to sell. 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:36.159 And Cleveland is a fantastic fantasy market and so is 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:39.119 Ohio generally, and so we needed a Browns player, but 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:43.639 there were no good Browns players. So that was in 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:47.120 those Tim Couch's rookie year. That's when Cleveland was an 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:51.320 expansion team, Yes, because they went to they became the Ravens, 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:53.480 the original and this might have been this might have 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:55.760 been the expansion This might have been the expansion year. 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:57.560 And I sort of like, well, who do we put on? 0:20:57.600 --> 0:20:59.879 So we put we have Tim Couch on the cover. Actually, 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:02.120 one of our summer magazine watched the thing about Tim 0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:04.879 brown So I know Tim Couch. Sorry, that was his 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:09.320 rookie year. Was the first year of the new Browns. Yeah, anyway, yes, yep, 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:11.280 so I think that was the year that we yeah, 0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:13.560 that we had Tim Couch. Somewhere in my basement, I 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:17.120 probably got a Tim Couch cover Fantasy Football Weekly, but 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:19.680 I won't go too into detail. But he got a 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:22.000 raw deal. He got thrown in way too early. Yeah, 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:24.960 I think Ty Detmer was the starting quarterback, but they 0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:26.919 he got hurt and they went to Couch and it 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:29.760 was an expansion team. In right waited. He was a 0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:33.560 number one overall pick and he ended up getting hurt in. 0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:36.520 He could have had a lot better career if he 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:39.200 did not get drafted by Cleveland. Oh for sure. Yeah, 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:42.480 I'm thinking of The Texans did the exact same thing 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:48.680
