00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: show as always with your top headlines, the camera highlights

25
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: in the world of sport, freaking breaking news. They continue

26
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: to follow breaking news. Your kids has your wife? All right,

27
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: let's start in South Beach. According to Miami Herald, Ryan

28
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: Tannehill reportedly healthy, running around pretty good. Remember he's offer

29
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: a severe knee sprain late last year did not require surgery.

30
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: That is a good thing. It should be noted, though

31
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: the right Tannehill will be wearing a knee brace throughout

32
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: the season. In the same report, Tanna Hill absolutely gushing

33
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: Alex Gilhar about Davante Parker and Julius Thomas. Your take there,

34
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: I mean, this is great to have offseason platitude thrown

35
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: at players, but we need to take these with a

36
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: grain of salt. Uh. Sometimes it comes to wish. Sometimes

37
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 1: they don't. Let's not forget the two off seasons ago

38
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: was when Aaron Rodgers was throwing fuel on the Davante

39
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: Adams fire. Good point, and we all know how that happened.

40
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: So it's great that he's excited about them, but let's

41
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: wait and see. And as for him running around, that's

42
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: all well and good, but I think we've kind of

43
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: been seeing this offense might be tilting towards being all

44
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: aboard the j J I train and being a run

45
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: first approach. That that is true all. I guess the

46
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: only reason I brought it up was because part of

47
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: Tanna Hills. I believe part of Tanna Hills value was

48
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: predicated on the fact that he could move around pretty good.

49
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: Actually a couple of seasons ago. Yeah, he was getting

50
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: up there in rushing attempts and was getting some extra

51
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: yarded and doing some zone read plays like that. So

52
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: that will certainly album. And I think quarterback is just

53
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: so deep right now that, like Ryan Tanners, true, she

54
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: shouldn't really be on the fantasy radar for people explaining

55
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: big two quarterback leads. Very good point. All right, how

56
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: about Davonte Parker and Julius I want to ask you

57
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: about Julius Thomas specifically, because are very on Cynthia Freeland

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: last week actually episode Yes talked about how she was

59
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: excited about Julius Thomas there in Miami. I mean, I'm

60
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: still waiting on that one. I don't like I thought

61
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: her her prediction form was tad aggressive personally, But I

62
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: mean he was great with Adam Gays in the past.

63
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: There is that connection now again. Of course he was

64
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: catching passes from Peyton Manning then helps, not Ryan Tannehill

65
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: on a bum knee, but that helps. I mean tight

66
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: end too, is a position where we're seeing a lot

67
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: of great late round guys hanging around. And if you're

68
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: believing the hype in this and we start to see

69
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: some signs of this, if he's dominating the red zone gain,

70
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: if he's skinnier, he was getting a little little huskier there,

71
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: and Jackson Bill at times, it could be it could

72
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: be a great it could be a great turnaround for

73
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: he was indeed, all right, let's move on path to beat.

74
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: Reporter Mike Reeese of ESPN, one of the best in

75
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: the BIS, leaning towards Mike gillis lely over Rex Wirkhead

76
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: to lead the New England backfield. Quote gilllessly projects is

77
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: the most likely running back to fill the void left

78
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: by la Garrett Blunt. Your thoughts on that report, I mean,

79
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't think this is a surprise to any of us.

80
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: When they got Gilllessly as well away from the Bills.

81
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: I think everybody kind of conventional wisdom seemed to see

82
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: think that he fit the more likely scenario of the

83
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: early down hammer goal line kind of back. He's a

84
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: big guy, he was. But we love rex Berg, we

85
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: love rex Berg head but I mean he's he might

86
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: just be a fever dream right now. And so Gillisle

87
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: gets hurt or something else. Uh, the New England backfield

88
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: is back to being a bit of a kerfuffle. But

89
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: if there's one back, and if there's one back to target,

90
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be Gilllessly. Alright, we'll find out. Alright,

91
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: we'll find out. All right, that's your top headline. Let's

92
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: get to our special guest for the day, Mike Taglier

93
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: all right, pleased to be joined alongside by the lead

94
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,479

Speaker 1: fourth of July, and while most people are dreading going

98
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: back to work, we're talking about fantasy football. So things

99
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: are going pretty well on my end. That's a very

100
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: good point. I'm sitting here in a Donkey Kong. You're

101
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: talking about fantasy football, So life is okay. Life is

102
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: a okay. Hey, listen, Mike, you you wrote a very

103
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: interesting piece for Fantasy Pros. Uh. You do these player

104
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: profile pieces, this one your most recent one was about

105
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: Time Montgomery for the Packers. Uh, you're not very high

106
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: on Ti mont tell us? Why, well, there's a few

107
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: weasons why I'm hesitant. I should say that You've been

108
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,559
Speaker 1: drafted right now and inside the top twenty running backs,

109
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: and it's just a little too rich for my blood.

110
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: For There's been a few things. You know, Time Montgomery,

111
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: he's the guy that we've looked at is extremely effective.

112
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: Last year he was efficient and I'm not gonna argue

113
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: those points. He was. But the problem is is what

114
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: the Packers are saying and what they're doing. You know,

115
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: when you look at it. There was two games he

116
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: played against the Bears last year, and the Bears, as

117
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,559
Speaker 1: everybody knows, their front seven was banged up. They lost,

118
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: I think were their starters on defense, and you know,

119
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: Toyn Montgomery took care of that. He scored forty one

120
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: fantasy points against them in two games and then against

121
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: every other team, and in the eleven games he scored

122
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: just fifty five Fantasy points. So it was very you know,

123
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: it was very Bears heavy. But regardless, you know, the

124
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: biggest thing I took away from it is there was

125
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: only one game where he saw more than where he

126
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: saw double digit carries, and it was that game, one

127
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: of the games against the Bears. So when you look

128
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: at the Packers and you see kind of what they've

129
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: done this offseason, they drafted three running backs. There was

130
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: not a single other team that did that. In fact,

131
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: there was just one other team that drafted two running backs.

132
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: That's an issue because there everything they're saying is that

133
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: he's having trouble and pass protection, which is it would

134
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: be a natural concern, you know, coming from wide receivers.

135
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: So it's kind of words when they said that they

136
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: think that he could be the starter, and then everything

137
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: that they're doing behind the scenes, other eyes, you know

138
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: what I mean. Yeah, I mean, well we'll turn into

139
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: Alex callaher here was a Packers Uh can we can

140
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: we call you a homer pal? I mean yeah, I

141
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: think that's the only the only accurate way to describe it.

142
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: I believe green and gold over here? Uh, do you do? Look?

143
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: I think part of fantasy though, right, is projecting forward.

144
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: So you know, we get into a dangerous game when

145
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: we started talking about last year's numbers. Right, So I

146
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: guess I'd love to get Alex's take on on what

147
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: tax found uh in regards to past protection, you know,

148
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: talking about some of the storylines in the background, drafting

149
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: multiple running backs, etcetera, etcetera. Well, I mean, the past

150
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: protection concern is warranted, but also it'd be foolish to

151
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: just think of rookie is gonna come in and completely

152
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: overtake him in that regard, rookies also have a big

153
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: adjustment getting used to the speed and reading the defenses

154
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: and understanding the calls and protections at an NFL level.

155
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: But what I think is Mikes very good points in

156
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: his article, especially with like the volume concerns you talk

157
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: about as well, Mike where um looking at the trends

158
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: of the last couple of Packers seasons and balancing it

159
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: out with Aaron Rodgers. Um. But I think you're right, James.

160
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: You have to project forward, and this is one of

161
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: those cases where you also kind of want to look

162
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: at the whole season, but also try and look at

163
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: what happened contextually at the end of the season, where yes,

164
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: he only had one game with double digit carries in

165
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: the regular season, he had two games with double digit

166
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: carries in the postseason. And it was also a case

167
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: where this offense really just as you noted, Mike didn't

168
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: run the ball a lot. I think they'd like to

169
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: get back to a place where they even that out

170
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: a little more. And in this instance, I just think

171
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: Tiger Montgomery has has the skill set and they're going

172
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 1: to give him every opportunity right now to own that starting,

173
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: starting back role. So I think in your projections, Mike,

174
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: you had him for what about a hundred and fifty

175
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: carriers and trying to scroll back through and find it,

176
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: yeahs I had them down for right right. So I

177
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: think I think those are a little bit conservative just

178
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: from what I know of this offense. I mean, they

179
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: could switch to more of a committee. But if we

180
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: go back and look like that year um Eddie Late

181
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: when Eddie Lacey was the feature back, he had his

182
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: career high tune or needy four rushes, and that was also,

183
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: as you noted, the year where they had the most

184
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: rush attempts and their their last three. When you're examining,

185
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: we also remember that was the year where Aaron Rodgers

186
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: was out for seven games with the busted collar bone. Uh,

187
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: courtesy of your Chicago Bears. I might, I might add

188
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: taking him out, um, But then you go to the

189
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: next year of Lacey's career when he he had about

190
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: forty fewer carries, but his yards per attempt rose to

191
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: four point six with that constant threat of Aaron Rodgers

192
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: in the backfield. So I understand the concerns. I would

193
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: think all the signs of pointing towards them giving him

194
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: the chance to win the starting job, and for the

195
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: most part, he did pretty well when given an opportunity

196
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: with more carries. So his current draft price, to me,

197
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: seems to fit with the projection. There are certainly risks,

198
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: but I'd rather buy into that running back ceiling uh

199
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: in Green Bay than than pass on it. Hey, Mike,

200
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. Let me ask you this

201
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: real quick, Um, time Montgomery or Christian McCaffrey in your mind,

202
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: because they have a very similar price tag right now,

203
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: they do have a similar price tag, and I'm gonna

204
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: go with McCaffrey just because he's a pedigree and dressing

205
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: when drest somebody number eight overall at the Panthers with

206
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: with him, That's why I'd buy into that. And you

207
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: can't acting ja Panthers backsfield where they don't target the

208
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: running back position. You know you think Gallax. I was

209
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: curious to do your take on since you do follow

210
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: the Packers. I always appreciate talking to people that are

211
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: close to teams. They watch every single game. So with Montgomery,

212
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: are you concerned about the fact that Randall Cobb was

213
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: injured last year so he saw a diffent targets. Davante

214
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: Adams is on the rise. This is like Judy Nelson

215
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: is turning more into a possession style receiver. They spent

216
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: big money twenty one million dollars on Martell's Bennett and

217
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: that's something that the Packers don't do. They don't spend

218
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: money in free agency. So I mean, I'm projecting Aaron

219
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: Rodgers's past attempts to come down, because, as you know,

220
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: last year, I think it was any more past attempt

221
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: than he had then attempt to any single season. So

222
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: I think they want to bring those down. I think

223
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: that bringing Martel's Bennet in is going to take some

224
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: charge the distribution away, and I'm kind of being healthy

225
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: Davante Adams in your wife. There's just even Geronimo Allison

226
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 1: to a certain extent. I believe Allison, here we go,

227
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: let's do it. Yeah. So I mean you get in

228
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: all these names. And that's why it's like with the Packers,

229
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: you always want to buy players in their offense because

230
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: they're going to be a top five scoring NFL team.

231
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: That's I think that you know that there's no question

232
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: about that. The question is whether or not Time Montgomery

233
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: is going to see that role in something. But they

234
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: haven't really trusted him in. And you know we mentioned

235
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: the pass protection thing where I truly believe that if

236
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: he can't handle the pass protection as good as Rogers

237
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: wants with with the losses they've had on this offensive line,

238
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: letting sit and go to the Bears. And now Busy

239
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: Tredder is off to the Browns like they have some

240
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 1: serious concerns on their offensive line. So you know, he

241
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: was only kept into pass blocks fifteen percent of the

242
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: time last year. That's not a workhorse number. So for me,

243
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams is a guy coming in. He's my favorite

244
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 1: out of that back he h in terms of in

245
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: between the tackles, it's need the guy that they're gonna

246
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: want to do. You know, you said they want to

247
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: run the ball more. I agree with that. I just

248
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: think that he may be better suited than Time Montgomery

249
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: to actually be that guy. Yeah, just knowing knowing Mike

250
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: McCarthy and his tendency to go with incumbents in a

251
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: lot of situations and adhere to his veterans, I would

252
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 1: and then right now all the words out of camp

253
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: as they brought back in Brandon Jackson. They're running back

254
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: from their Super Bowl run to be their running backs

255
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: and pass protection coach, and Time Montgomery's getting all the

256
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: first team reps there. So it is certainly a storyline

257
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to watch during training camp in preseason

258
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: if he is holding off Jamal Williams and things like that.

259
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: As far as the target concerns, I think what's gonna

260
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: happen is I mean Jered Cook had fifty when targets

261
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: last year, Richard Rodgers had forty seven. I would kind

262
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: of think those two just meld into Martelli's Bennett's targets.

263
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: Lance Kendricks will get a little work. Richard Roger will

264
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: still have a handful of targets, but that that number

265
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: is kind of gonna go right to Martellis Bennett would

266
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: be what I guess I mean, even in Jamichael Finley's

267
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: heyday as a budding fantasy superstar that never came to be,

268
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: he was never a dominant target monster in this offense.

269
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: He just got high value, good targets. So there are

270
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: certainly some concerns, but we do we do know that

271
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: with with Aaron Rodgers, the targets are going to be

272
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: of a certain quality. So it's not gonna be like

273
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, the targets Jordan Howard received last year, where

274
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 1: a number we're just untouchable. So I think, I think,

275
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: I think, I think there are certainly some volume concerns,

276
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: but it's just the as you mentioned, the efficiency of

277
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: this offense kind of raises all tied. So it's uh,

278
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: I think, I think the veteran deference here, and like, well,

279
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: they did draft three running backs, they didn't draft one

280
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: until the fourth round, and as we see year after year,

281
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: a couple of guys will jump out of that late

282
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: round crop. There will be a Jordan Howard, there will

283
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: be in Alfred Morris, but then there will also be

284
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: a Kenneth Disent and Davante book Er. YadA, YadA, YadA. Iida.

285
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: You know, if they really wanted a running back to

286
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: come in and take this job from Time Montgomery, I

287
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: think they would have jumped that one earlier as opposed

288
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: to bringing these guys in for competition and if one

289
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: wins it out, great, But I think the expectation of

290
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: the front office and the team is that this is

291
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: Montgomery's job to lose. I kind of also feel like

292
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: the Packers Mike drafted these running backs for exactly that

293
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: depth purposes and not to supplant Time Montgomery, because if anything,

294
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: this offense has gotten derailed because they're starting running back

295
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: could not stay healthy and they didn't really have viable

296
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: options as at ups, and as we know last year

297
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: was Eddie Lacey then he got banged up. James Stark's

298
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: obviously not the answer. Then that's why Time Montgomery kind

299
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: of kind of came out of nowhere and surprise the

300
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: fantasy field. So I just feel like the Packers want

301
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: to ensure that position just a little bit. But I

302
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: tend to agree with Alex Gilla. I think that they're

303
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: gonna let Time Montgomery run with this rock and see

304
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: what happened. What are you gonna say, Mike, you just

305
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: had something you were gonna counter to that. Well, that's

306
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: my thing. He's like, thinking about it, Alex, if you're

307
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: the m of the team, if you're gonna head coach

308
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: of the team, and you look at Time Montgomery and

309
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: a guy that's been built away. Here is a guy

310
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: that you know, he's dealing with the sickle cell thing

311
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: were just may not go away. That's another risk that's

312
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: stoked into him now, a guy that you dave. You know,

313
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: as the year went on, you trusted a little bit more.

314
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: But at the same time, just like they did last year,

315
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: you don't back and forth and shootouts like you did

316
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: control and they did last year. So we didn't think

317
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: about it. He's like, if you're a coach, what running

318
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: back better? It's what you want to do. On offense.

319
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: I think Time Montgomery's best to just selected no huddle,

320
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: like almost like a showing Peyton type offense where he's

321
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: green Bay. I don't think that they should be doing that. Uh,

322
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: you know, Jamal Williams, I'm bear fan. You know that

323
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: Alex but at the same time, Jamal Williams before the

324
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: Packers drafted him, he wasn't running back by love in

325
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: the later round. So when I saw the Packers snag

326
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: him there, it was like, Wow, I'm not I wasn't

327
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: happy about it. As a Bears fan. I looked at

328
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: the opening and what they really really want to do

329
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: and the defense as much as possible, And I think

330
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: that they would have drafted and when he got Sugar

331
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: if they didn't have so many other holes on their defense. Uh,

332
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, they had a lot out of the things

333
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: changing the ed to do that matter. So I just

334
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: think that Monna I didn't Maybe they're just sayd player.

335
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: It's just a murder of can he fit what they

336
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: need to do on offensive order to keep the pressure

337
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: off their defense. All Right, The great Mike Taglieri from

349
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: We got your all right, Hey, let's break down then,

350
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: FC cell, let's talk. We'll start this is how we

351
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: normally do it. We normally do it where the the

352
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: team that came in first is the team that we

353
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: talked about first, right, and then we just go down

354
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: the order. But I wanted to talk about the team

355
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: that actually came in last last year in the NFC sale,

356
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: in the Carolina Panthers. They came in at six and ten,

357
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: and the reason being, I think they have a lot

358
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: of very interesting players in that offense that are creating

359
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, I guess sides. You know,

360
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: you gotta pick sides on these debates. And we'll start

361
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: with Christian McCaffrey. Uh. He is a man that has

362
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: the fantasy community absolutely salivate. And we talked to Mike

363
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: tag Lear. I asked him, he's got a very similar

364
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: price tag McCaffrey does to time Montgomery for me about

365
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: what RB seventeen and as we talked exactly RB nineteen

366
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: for time oncoming something like that, right, So like we're

367
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: talking like you know, anywhere in that sixteen to nineteen

368
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: running back range from my price, I would love to

369
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: have Tie Montgomery in AH. What I think is gonna

370
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: be a better offense. I think he's got a lead role.

371
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: I think he's got a clear path to production versus

372
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. And I noted this in in my potential

373
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: fantasy bus piece Christian McCaffrey. I love him as a player,

374
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: love him as a prospect, but I look at the

375
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: way he's gonna get fantasy points, and there's a lot

376
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: of roadblocks in his way. Jonathan Stewart is there eating

377
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: up some carries. I think underneath they still got Greg Olsen,

378
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: they still got Calvin Benjamin as well. I just concerns, uh,

379
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: in terms of the roadblocks that might present itself to

380
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey in terms of fantasy I mean that that's

381
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: certainly a concern. But I think, as TAGS mentioned to you,

382
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: they're not going to draft a guy at eight overall

383
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: and not use him a lot. Plus just simply in

384
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: the passing game, there's a hundred and forty eight targets

385
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: of for grabs with Ted Gain and Corey Brown out

386
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: of the picture. Ted Gains now with the Saints. Corey

387
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: Brown formerly Philly Brown, Phillip Brown Brown is with the Bills.

388
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: Philly Brown is not on the on the Carolina Panthers.

389
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: So even though Jonathan Stewart's still there, and this is

390
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: an offense that hasn't typically targeted their backs a whole

391
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: heck of a lot at all, this seems to be,

392
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: as we've talked about this podcast before, a bit of

393
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: a changing of the guard. And I think you're chasing

394
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey a little bit at his ceiling to seeing

395
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: he could get a lot of catches, He could have

396
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: some runs if this Panther's offense with a healthy Cam Newton,

397
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: so I forgot, he was banged up for a lot

398
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: of last year, had a shoulder injury that kind of

399
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: kept him for about eight games. So if he can

400
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: get back to his levels of a couple of years before,

401
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: this whole offense is going to jump back towards the

402
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 1: top of the scoring heap, and you know McCaffrey could

403
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: be a huge beneficiary. All right, So there you go,

404
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: uh in regards to uh Christian McCaffrey again kind of

405
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: sort of going there in that RB fifteen RB sixteen range.

406
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: Cam Newton though a nightmare season for him the former

407
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: m v P thirty five hundred yards passing, but just

408
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: nineteen passing touchdowns five more rushing touchdowns to go along

409
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: with fourteen interceptions and two fumbles lost sixteen turnovers for

410
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: cam Newton, just nineteen passing touchdowns, a career low completion percentage,

411
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: a career low. Rushing wise in three nine yards again

412
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: fifty completion percentage, a career low for him. Uh. Look,

413
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: I know a lot of folks are are pegging him

414
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: to be a bounce back candidate, but what are we

415
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: expecting here in terms of cam Newton's seventeen campaign. I mean,

416
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 1: I think I think he's gonna be like, he's still

417
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: gonna come back from that injury. I mean, we had

418
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: the hype video that you loved of him throwing passes

419
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: like the training room, but let's be real, he's still

420
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: coming back from his shoulder injury. Could take him a

421
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: little while to get up to speed. But I this

422
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: is a Kim Newton's a guy that was like a

423
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: top four quarterback every year, Top four fantasy quarterback every

424
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,719
Speaker 1: year of his career. The one concern is that if

425
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: the rushing totals dip a little bit there, if they

426
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 1: are trying to make that Ben Roethlisberger like switch, that's

427
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: the football writers have talked about, have him transition to

428
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: a short passing game to Christian McCaffrey and Curtis Samuel

429
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: and Stipe running the ball. That will certainly hurt his

430
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: his fantasy totals. But I mean in the first half

431
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: of the season, before that shoulder injury really set in,

432
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: he was completing closer to of his passes and things

433
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: were looking a little bit more like old Cam Newton.

434
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: Uh with the with the with the new weapons they've

435
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: added to I think he's certainly a guy to look

436
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: at as a back half of the the QB one range,

437
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: but not somebody you'd want to reach for over the

438
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: top of the heap like Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady Drew

439
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: brees that that ill does he finish as a top

440
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: five quarterback in fantasy. I don't think it's a top five,

441
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: but a top twelve most likely. All right, there you go,

442
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: the Falcons at eleven and five. Last year, Matt Ryan

443
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere to help carry fantasy teams to

444
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: a championship a QB nineteen in ten. Ryan went absolutely

445
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: undrafted in tween before finishing as the QB two, trailing

446
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: just the great Aaron Rodgers. Nearly five thousand passing yards,

447
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: thirty eight touchdowns, just seven picks, a career high in

448
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: passing yards, a career high in completion percentage, a career

449
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: high in touchdowns, a career low in picks. Alex Galhar

450
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: what does he do in I think he slides back

451
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: down a little bit more to the Matt Ryan we've

452
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: grown to know and love and be accustomed to over

453
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: the years. As you mentioned, all those things were career highs.

454
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: The big question is with his touchdown rate. His his

455
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: touchdown rate and at a career number is four point seven,

456
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: and that's how frequently he throws a touchdown per his

457
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: past attempts. For those you don't know, don't know his

458
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: m v P campaign, it went up to seven point one.

459
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: Our friend j Zacher Rison or Zach recent we've had

460
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: him on the podcast before at late round QB on

461
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: Twitter did a great piece of trying to find it

462
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: um about how just historically when somebody gets over that

463
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: seven percent mark in touchdown, right, they usually fall back

464
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: by two to three more percentage points, which would put

465
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: him back towards his career love, which means he'd still

466
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: have a very good season, but he's probably gonna end

467
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: up throwing like to thirty two touchdowns instead of thirty eight.

468
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: Probably still hit that you know, mid four thousand yard range,

469
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: which means he'll be a very good QB. But he's

470
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: not a guy that I would target as like the

471
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: QB five where he's going currently, He'll probably finish more

472
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: in that like Cam Newton in that back half, maybe

473
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: QB seven to twelve range. All right, Julio Jones widely

474
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: considered a top five pick in seventeen. We're seeing him

475
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: go there, uh, pretty much all throughout fantasy mock drafts

476
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: right now. Four yards last year, just six touchdowns for

477
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: whatever reason, big body, super athletic, grand hands. I don't

478
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 1: know why this guy doesn't get more touchdowns. We are

479
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: season for Julioteen as well. I'll kill hard four different

480
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: games where he had less than four points. He was

481
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: at times forgotten in that very spread attack there for

482
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. What are you project? I mean, this

483
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: is he's the top he's the top three receiver. This

484
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: is Julio Jones. And word word out of Atlanta is

485
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: that new officive coordinator, Steve Sarkisian wants to use Julio

486
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: Jones more in the red zone, which, as you mentioned,

487
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: would make sense. Julio is a guy that just doesn't

488
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: get targeted there very frequently. I don't get like single

489
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: digit targets throughout the year. And he's a freak of nature.

490
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: He's he's massive, he's so big, he's so good sense,

491
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: so you would hope. I mean, he's his last several years,

492
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: he's had fifteen hundred yards, eighteen hundred yards, fourteen hundred yards.

493
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: That kind of seems to be his his range now,

494
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: so you know the yard is going to be there.

495
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: And he's only had six or eight touchdowns in each

496
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: of those last three years. If that never can bump

497
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: up a little bit, it's gonna be really nice. But

498
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's about as safest pick as they come,

499
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: unless he gets injured, which is something we can't project.

500
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: That's very good point. Davante Freeman the RB six last year.

501
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: Fifteen hundred total yards, eleven total touch downs excuse me,

502
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: eleven rushing touchdowns to receiving touchdowns. He had thirteen total touchdowns.

503
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: He had fifteen total I'm looking at these totals. I'm like, wait,

504
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: what is that right? Fifteen hundred total yards, thirteen total touchdowns.

505
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: He was your RB six last year. He was an

506
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: absolute beast and yet despite that, it's actually really the

507
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: second year in a row he's done very well. But

508
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of concern regarding Devonte Freeman.

509
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: We're seeing it kind of a little bit in his

510
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: price tag as well. I know Tevin Coleman is gonna

511
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: push or whatever it might be. But your thoughts on

512
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: the on the security of Devonte Freeman as a you know,

513
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: a top fifteen, top twenty pig. Oh man, I love

514
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:38,959
Speaker 1: him there. I love when he slides to me. I mean,

515
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: he's done it in back to back years. He's kept

516
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman at Bay and back to back years, and

517
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: he's much more of a do it all player for

518
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: that offense. We see he's so great in between the tackles.

519
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: He's great in the open field. He can catch, you

520
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: can score touchdowns. I don't have the numbers in front

521
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: of me, but I think he edges Tevin Coleman in

522
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: red zone looks as well, those high value ones, and

523
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: I think, like right now, I think, uh, DeVonta Freeman's

524
00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: had a great value, maybe even a little undervalue, but

525
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman is being overvalued. I just wrote about this

526
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: in a piece did a little fun tie in for

527
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: fantasy for Independence Days, which was seven players you should

528
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: declare your fantasy independence from at their current ADP. So

529
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman right now is being drafted as the RB

530
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: twenty seven. But if you look at how he got

531
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: there last year, how he had his like top twenty year,

532
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: he had a touchdown rate. He scored eleven touchdowns and

533
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: just a hundred forty nine total touchdowns. It's a touchdown

534
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: rate of seven point four. It was the second highest

535
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: in the league for backs with a hundred rushes. Mike

536
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: gillisly had the top one. But from two thousand seven

537
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: to fifteen thirty two backs posted a touchdown rate over

538
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: five percent. Only two improved upon that the following season,

539
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: Ben Jarvis Green Ellis and Mike Tilbert both from ten

540
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 1: to twenty the Law Firm, and only only by point

541
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: four percent. They were both like at five point one

542
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: and finished at five point or something like that. The

543
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: average decline in touchdown rate and that span is two

544
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: point five percent. But if you shrink that pool to

545
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: the eight backs who had a touchdown rate of over

546
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: six percent, they dropped by four point three percent the

547
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: next year. What this means is, that's a lot of

548
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: statistics throw at you. Unless Tevin Coleman shakes a massive

549
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: historical trend and remains like unrealistically efficient on turning his

550
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: touches into touchdowns, he's gonna fall a fair amount in those.

551
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: He had a lot of big plays, had a lot

552
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: of big plays, so if those changed, Like think about

553
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: the year Calvin Johnson set the receiving yards record but

554
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: only had like four or five touchdowns. I think he

555
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: was tackled in the five yard line like five times.

556
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: So there's random things we can't predict. So Tevin Coleman

557
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: right now to be drafted as a top thirty running

558
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: back is ludicrous to me because the efficiency is just

559
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: not likely to stay there, especially with their changing offensive coordinators.

560
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: The rest of the efficiency of the offense is probably

561
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: gonna take a little step back from it's historic numbers.

562
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: I just think there's a lot of concerns sinking a

563
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: sixth throne pick into Tevin Coleman. I think the well,

564
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: this is what's happening. People are chasing the upside. And

565
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: I get it because if Davante Freeman goes down Tevic Coleman,

566
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden looks but sixth round for essentially

567
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: handcuff that. It's the same thing. And dinner player on

568
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: my list, although it's not in this division was Derrick Henry.

569
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: People are doing the same thing. Like both of those

570
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: guys could be league winners if their back goes down,

571
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: But you're just banking on that in the sixth round

572
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: when there's so much, so many more high value players,

573
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: including backs that could be feature backs or wide receivers

574
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: that are gonna come into a massive target share. Like

575
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 1: I just think it's I think it's outrageous to chase

576
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: him at that draft cap, that draft price right now.

577
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: The Bucks nine and seven last year, there's a lot

578
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 1: of hope and optimism regarding their offense. This year, Mike

579
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: Evans was the wide receiver one last year. I mean,

580
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: he had a good year, but it wasn't one of

581
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: those like crazy years, you know what I'm saying. One

582
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: receiving twelve total touchdowns, led the league in targets at

583
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: one seventy three. Again, there wasn't a single wide receiver

584
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: last year that was targeted more than a hundred and

585
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: seventy three times. Just for a little bit of perspective,

586
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: I mean, normally we're talking about guys in the one

587
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: ninety range the two hundred range. Mike Evans led the

588
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: league glass year in targets with one seventy three. Your

589
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: thoughts on Mike Evans going forward, I think you have

590
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: to like Mike Evans. I mean, he's probably not going

591
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: to finish the wide receiver one again, but all three

592
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: years of his career he's had over a thousand receiving yards.

593
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: He's increased his reception totals in each year. Granted his

594
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: targets have gone up. That will probably drop back a

595
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: little bit, maybe to the one forty range with DeShawn

596
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: Jackson and O. J. Howard and all those other pieces.

597
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: But I think he's a he's a safe wide receiver one.

598
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: He's probably think he's at my wide receiver five right now.

599
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: You know, you figure he's going to get close to

600
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns and over a thousand yards and you just

601
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: lock it in. He's one of those guys though that

602
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: I think, Uh, if you're a novice drafter, you might

603
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: be expecting statistical growth. Is it fair to expect to

604
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: statistical growth from Mike Evans? I mean, we could. He's

605
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: an ascending player. He he just finished his third year.

606
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: You know, he's been with Jamis Winston for a couple

607
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: of years now. They've got that rapport. And you took

608
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: about potentially the the added threat of Deshan Jackson could

609
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: just help open things up or make you know, a

610
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: little more difficult for the defense two key in on him.

611
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: So certainly he could, he could growth, But I'm more

612
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,959
Speaker 1: expected to kind of remain static, which is a good thing.

613
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: I think. Yeah, No, listen, third, you'll take th dred

614
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: and twelve all day long. I just think if you're

615
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: expecting growth in either one of those categories, I just

616
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: don't see it, you know what I mean. I I

617
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: love Jamis as as a as a quarterback developing quarterback.

618
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to him in just a moment but

619
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: I just you know, again, more than hundred, more than twelve,

620
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if I see it, Um, And as

621
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: you mentioned, I think he falls back a little bit.

622
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: Is probably somewhere, you know, as a top five or

623
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: six wide receiver. I love the touchdown upside. But again,

624
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: I just if you're paying a wide receiver one price

625
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: tag for him, I just that part price. I just

626
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: don't necessarily by all right, what do we do with

627
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: Doug Martin? Man eight games last year, four rushing yards,

628
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: three touchdowns are horrific two point nine yards per carry.

629
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: He violated the league's substance abuse policy, entered rehab, and

630
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: he is this bended all by the way, he is

631
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: suspended for the first three games of the season. Fantasy

632
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: pros Aggregate has him as the RB thirty three, number

633
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: eighty three overall. I've got him at fifty, galhar you've

634
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: got him at sixty one. What the hell do we

635
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: do with Doug Martin? I mean, I really like Doug

636
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: Martin's chances this year. Um, They've got a lot of

637
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: other pieces and like to quiz, Rogers will probably maybe

638
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: be the lead back. Charles Simms mixing in Jimmy McNichols

639
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: could get into the mix. Their their rookie out of

640
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: Boys State. I really liked him, But I think Martin

641
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: is going to come back and take take this feature

642
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: job they want him to be. We're getting a lot

643
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: of hashtag best shape of his life talk out of

644
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: out of training camp, and he's a he's a featured

645
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: back who we know can carry that workload and deliver

646
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: on it. Graham, he's only done it twice in his

647
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: four year career so far, five year career. Well, he's

648
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: on the every other year plan. So thus thus thus

649
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: indisputable fact. Hashtag trends, hashtag trend He should that he

650
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: should get going here, But I just wanted to look

651
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: because his ADP has skyrocketed on Fantasy Football Calculator. He's

652
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: been going in h he's going as the RB twenty

653
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: right and in the fourth round of twelve teams. He's

654
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: that that is a little steep. He's suspended for three games,

655
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: I which actually like speaking of Doug Martin, I think

656
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: if you can get him, I mean, this is a

657
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: lot of sharps and degenerates drafting this early. I mean

658
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: it's going to start evening out. But if you can

659
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: get Doug Martin in like round seven or eight, and

660
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: then in a couple of rounds after that, grabbed Terence West.

661
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: I did that in one of our mock dress recently.

662
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: That gives you a kind of Frankenstein because you get

663
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: Terence West sans Kenneth Dixon, I mean, Danny Wood heads there,

664
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: but you get, especially in standard leagues, the goal line back,

665
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: the between the tackles guy for the first four weeks,

666
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: and Doug Martin comes back in week four. So even

667
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: if you're not confident playing him in week four, you

668
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: can still ride West one more week and then potentially

669
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: have two starting backs right there. Well, that's interesting, but

670
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: I would say that's a good fourth round feels steep

671
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: for a guy missing three games without the guarantee that

672
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: he's that he's going to come back and take that

673
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: starting job. If it was like when when left Bell

674
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: last year was missing those first couple of games, but

675
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: you knew when he came back it was it was

676
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: all him exactly, that's much more easy to to sink

677
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: a you know, first couple of rounds picking two. But

678
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,959
Speaker 1: Doug Martin, I'd try and wait, if you guys in there,

679
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: we're talking about a guy who last year ran for

680
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: two point nine yards per carry. It's not like he

681
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: ran for two thousand yards and is suspended for three games.

682
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: It's right. I mean he was bad last year. It

683
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: was rough. They're there running game was not great last year. Boy,

684
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: the Saints, excuse me, we didn't get the Jameis Winston.

685
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: But we'll get to him now. Uh. Alex Galehardt explained

686
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: why so many folks are excited about the prospects of

687
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. Well, Jameis Winston has been on the cusp

688
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: of being a QB one in each of his first

689
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: two years. I think he was QB sixteen in QB

690
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: fourteen in his first couple of years. And now they're

691
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: we're talking about an offense where he found a rapport

692
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: with Cameron brad last late last year at tight end.

693
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: They have a true number two wide receiver into Shawn

694
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: Jackson to go opposite of Mike Evans. He's also in

695
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: his second year now with Dirt Cutter as the head coach,

696
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: so there's offensive consistency. It's just it's one of those

697
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: ones where you kind of look at all of the

698
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: things coming together and it's a chance for you to

699
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: get potentially a you know, maybe even as crazy. It

700
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: seems to top five, top six quarterback at a big discount.

701
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: So I think that's why people are buying in. He's

702
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:19,719
Speaker 1: a player with loads of talent. We've you know, we've

703
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: seen it on display on the field from college to

704
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: the pros, and with all the pieces coming together around him,

705
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: I think it's just one of those cases where you'd

706
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: rather buy in early than buy in late. That's a

707
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: very good point. We'll go to the Saints at seven

708
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: and nine, mark Ingram and finally broke through last your

709
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: your RB ten on pace on pace. Bet he finally

710
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: got on pace and hit a thousand Russian yards for

711
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: the first time in his career, three hundred more yards,

712
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: receiving tent total touchdowns. But the team that added old

713
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: ask Adrid Peterson this offseason, why they go do that?

714
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: You're asking me wish I wish I knew, because this

715
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: backfield confounds the hell out of me. I'm sure, I'm

716
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: sure they're going to be a ton of fantasy points

717
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: to come out of this backfield. But my concern right

718
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: now is trying to figure out which week to start

719
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: which guy. Because they also went and drafted Alvin Kamara

720
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: in the third round. I think Peterson and Ingram should

721
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: be a solid duo um with maybe Peterson being the

722
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 1: one a Ingram b in the one be assuming Peterson

723
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: can come back healthy. He had a pretty bad injury

724
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: that took him out of all the last year. And

725
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 1: you mentioned his age, but this is also Adrian Peterson.

726
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 1: The last time a lot of us were doubting Adrian Peterson,

727
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: he damn near broke the rushing records, so it's a

728
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: long time ago. I think the bigger concern we have

729
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: to worry about New Orleans in terms of this running

730
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: game is the injuries to the offensive line. Taran Armstead,

731
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: their tackle, Tors Pictorial, their their center. I think his

732
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: name is Masks Younger is injured two with a lower

733
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: lower body injury, and they can keep him out towards

734
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: the start of camp. So that's that's two pieces in

735
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: Like on offensive lines, when you start losing multiple pieces,

736
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: sometimes you get into a domino effect where guys are

737
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: shuffling around and it's not nearly as consistent. Guys are

738
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: playing out of position. So I'm gonna that's the storyline

739
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to watch, not only how the backfield

740
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: is gonna split, but the health and functionality of that

741
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 1: offensive line, because because if those guys are getting pummeled

742
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage, it's gonna be hard for

743
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: them already to split workload to return fantasy value good points.

744
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks straighted away. Michael Thomas now looking to build

745
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: on a legit rookie year. He had eleven thirty seven

746
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: through the air nine count them, nine touchdowns on just

747
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: ninety two targets. Man, he was your wide receiver nine

748
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:31,439
Speaker 1: last year. I am extremely excited about the prospects Michael. Also,

749
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: he had more than he had receptions. I'm sorry, nine

750
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: two receptions. Rather, I'm sorry I misspoke, but I have

751
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: just I'm ridiculously excited about the prospects of Michael Thomas.

752
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 1: He has the size speed combination. He's got Drew Berrees

753
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: in a high passing attack. Um, they're gonna throw the ball.

754
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: She's six hundred, six hundred fifty times. Next year. It's

755
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: gonna get crazy. Um And man, I've got him ranked.

756
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: I think I've got him right to my inside my

757
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: top ten. I'd have to check that again, but somewhere

758
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: near the top ten. And I know I'm being extremely

759
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 1: aggressive in my projections for Michael Thomas. A great disagree,

760
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: Alex skillhar I mean, the upside and the ceiling is there.

761
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: Uh you you know, as you mentioned, he did all

762
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: of that with Brandon Cook still in the mix last year. Um,

763
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: and now all those targets are gone, and they're not

764
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: all just gonna go to him and Willie Sneed. They'll

765
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: probably trickle around in the backfield. Maybe Kobe Flaner starts

766
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: to resemble a reliable tight end in that offense. But

767
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: the bigger concern is that historically I was trying to

768
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: find the numbers I had tweeted about ages ago when

769
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: we were discussing Michael Thomas this time last year. But

770
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: historically Breeze has rarely given a massive target share to

771
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: one wide receiver. He is super efficient at spreading the

772
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: ball around and instead of pummeling a guy with twenty

773
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,479
Speaker 1: of the targets, you'll get nineteen nineteen, eighteen seventeen spread

774
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: out across a bunch of guys. So he like I mean,

775
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: I think very likely Michael Thomas can at least remain

776
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 1: flat with this production. But if that trend does reverse

777
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: a little bit and he gets a healthier target ship

778
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: could easily see him improving upon his numbers. For me,

779
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: this is a guy that if you're playing in you know,

780
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: shallower leagues, I'm I'm all about it because again, you

781
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: can find depth on the waiver wire in ten team leagues,

782
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: that's not really that much of a problem. I think

783
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: when you're in those first fifteen picks, you have to

784
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: chase a little bit of upside there. And for me,

785
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: Michael Thomps is a guy that could be a league

786
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 1: altering pick, Like he could be a guy that gets

787
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: you and fifteen if you're getting that dude with the

788
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: number twelve pick or the number ten pick all day

789
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: signed me up all day long. Um. To me, he

790
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: is a guy that could make a big time jump. Again,

791
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: eleven thirty seven receiving and nine touchdowns, I don't know, man,

792
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: I mean, thirteen hundred and thirteen doesn't sound out of

793
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: this out of the question at all, uh for Michael Thomas.

794
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: And if that's what we're if that's what you're kind

795
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: of sort of expecting, certainly you could sink a top

796
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: ten pick. And I found the number by the way

797
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: it was prior to this past year, Drew Brees had

798
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: only thrown a hundred and twenty plus targets to a

799
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver five times the previous ten years. But of

800
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: course we just mentioned Thomas had a hundred one targets

801
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: last year. Uh and plus I'll say this too, man, um,

802
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: I think Michael Thomas is their most talented receiver. He's

803
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: a very, very good player, you know what I mean? Yes, complete,

804
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: very talented, super athletic. I don't know, man, I'm excited.

805
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm very excited. Drew Brees is Drew Brees. He's a

806
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: QB three last year, thirty seven years old. It's all good, though.

807
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: Five thousand yards passing, thirty seven passing touchdowns, fifteen interceptions,

808
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: a top three quarterback in alex Gilhart. Uh. Well, with

809
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: andrew lux health status a little bit in question, I think, yeah,

810
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: Drew Brees would slide right into my QB three behind

811
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,959
Speaker 1: Rogers and Tom Brady. Yeah. I mean, he hasn't thrown

812
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: for fewer than thirty passing touchdowns since two thousand seven,

813
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 1: and he hasn't thrown for fewer than passing yards oh forty.

814
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: He threw for excuse me, oh nine. But prior to that,

815
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: you have to go back to two thousand five for

816
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: him to throw for fewer than forty three. So he's

817
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: a he's a consistent guy. The interceptions have been up

818
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: a little bit at times in the past handful of years.

819
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: You know, he had nineteen fifteen last year, So if

820
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: you're in a league where you get Dan Big for those,

821
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: it might be a little bit of a concern. But

822
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: he played great last year and he's got a good offensive,

823
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 1: an offensive around him. Line maybe a question mark, but

824
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: I still think it's Drew Brees. He's He's done it

825
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: for so long that I'll take that shot on him,

826
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: and if he for some reason falls apart, thin, Guess what.

827
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: There's lots of good quarterbacks on the waiver wire. Very

828
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: good point, all right, open floor. Give me a fantasy

829
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,879
Speaker 1: storyline I'm missing in the A excuse me the NFC

830
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: South alex kellhar Well, I I already did the Tevin

831
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: Coleman one. But I think um our buddy Matt Franciscovitch

832
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: was talking about this in the Fantasy Hipsters podcast right now,

833
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: Cameron brad being incredibly underrated among tight ends full because

834
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: they drafted O. J. Howard in the first round. Are

835
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 1: jumping on that bandwagon and taking him several spots ahead

836
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: of Cameron Bright, even though all of the words out

837
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: of Bucks camp are that Bright is going to be

838
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: more of the receiving tight end. Howard, who was a

839
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: phenomenal coccer in college, and Bright it's not the greatest blocker,

840
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: is going to come in and do more of that.

841
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: He'll get worked in. But Brad was an excellent red

842
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: zone threat for them last year, and Jamis and Brad

843
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: have already been showing that connection again in camp. So

844
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: if you're gonna look for one of these later round

845
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: tight ends to get out of those two, pass on O. J. Howard,

846
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: let somebody else take him. Historically, I mean hunter a

847
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 1: side rookie tight ends, uh do not have a tough

848
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: time adjusting and producing good fantasy numbers. And the competition

849
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: for targets. Competition for targets. So if you're gonna go

850
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: with one guy, go with the big guy who's already

851
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: has a rapport with Jameis Winston in the red zone,

852
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: and get the touchdown upside with Cameron Brad. I kind

853
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: of I kind of feel like I'm avoiding both. I mean,

854
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: I'm not saying dive after either. But if you're you know,

855
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: if you wait on the position in a twelve or

856
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: fourteen team league, yeah, you gotta be in the deeper league.

857
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: Could throw a shot at Cameron Bright standard league, just

858
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: don't draft him. There's too many good tight ends. I

859
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: would agree with that. I think you're in a standard league.

860
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: I just I can't see myself drafting either one of

861
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: Cameron Braid or O J. Howard because again, as we mentioned,

862
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: there's Mike Evans. He's gonna be soaking up a lot

863
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: of targets to Sean Jacks is going to be there, uh,

864
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: you know, eating up a lot of targets as well.

865
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: And I just think the tight end share if they

866
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: split it up, great for the overall offense, horrible for fantasy,

867
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: Horrible for fantasy. I don't want either one in fantasy.

868
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: And it's not to say I don't like Camera Braid

869
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 1: or O J. Howard. I like them both. I do.

870
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: I think they're both fine players. I just for fantasy.

871
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: No thanks, I'll pass any other storylines you wanted to

872
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: bring up. No, I think that's just about it. Man

873
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: will say, yes, we should get to dapts the NFC South, Uh,

874
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: is your last division, the very last division that we

875
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: have broken down here on the NFL Fantasy Live podcast.

876
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: And now you know what, as a producer part time

877
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: producer of this show, I'm gonna actually have to come

879
