Speaker 1: Fantasy best friends forever. Do Do Do Do Do Do
Speaker 1: Do Do don too. Yeah, I p s I know
Speaker 1: you like I PA, You'll be all right. You know
Speaker 1: what's funny? We e y are. I actually had a
Speaker 1: random conversation yesterday about where he lives in Nashville, Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Hipsters came up, and one of the first things he
Speaker 1: brought up about hipsters he hates that they all wear flannel.
Speaker 1: For all those listening on demand, Greg Susman is wearing
Speaker 1: a a flannel esque shirt today, so you might fit
Speaker 1: that description. You don't have the you don't have the
Speaker 1: facial hair, though, so you're all right, Greig, Hello, Hello,
Speaker 1: Eric Hello, flannels. Flannels. Fine, it's just when you're obviously
Speaker 1: not a woodsman or a tradesman or a construction worker
Speaker 1: and you're trying to look like that, you're wearing scuffed
Speaker 1: up boots and a car heart jacket and this big
Speaker 1: beard and this red and plaid flannel. You've probably never
Speaker 1: slept a day outside. You've probably never swung in a
Speaker 1: real axe, so for at some hippie ax throwing thing,
Speaker 1: which actually really fun. By the way, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: have you ever swung into X before? Greg I have not.
Speaker 1: I didn't shoot a gun once in my life though.
Speaker 1: I actually have never shot a gun. But I have
Speaker 1: swung an X shot a gun, wash chopping some wood.
Speaker 1: E Y would have been proud. I don't do it
Speaker 1: in my flip flops like you, e Y. But I tried.
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I was late at night. I just didn't
Speaker 1: have time to get shot was Um. You should have
Speaker 1: seen me shooting a gun. It was very funny as
Speaker 1: you expect. Yeah, I can. I can only imagine Greg
Speaker 1: Susamani with a gun in his hand. We're all safe,
Speaker 1: all right. Um, just a quick update. My fort loader
Speaker 1: down tomorrow. It'll be like high eighties, but it will
Speaker 1: feel like nine the humid today. You're going there starting tomorrow, Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: so there you go. That's a little programming. Know for
Speaker 1: the rest of the week. Greg's been out Thursday and Friday.
Speaker 1: I'll be here with e Y tomorrow. E Y. You
Speaker 1: run on Friday as well. We'll try to make it
Speaker 1: myself e Y and Florio again on Friday, get the
Speaker 1: band back together an hour to tomorrow. Have Alex Fasano
Speaker 1: from downstairs up in studio as well. I won't be
Speaker 1: there you won't be here now, just me flying solo
Speaker 1: ish kind of not not really at all, not you
Speaker 1: have you have friends in terms of in studio kind
Speaker 1: of solo. So for those I did not admittedly get
Speaker 1: a chance to listen to the program yesterday, as you
Speaker 1: saw me right outside at a meeting that Greg was
Speaker 1: doing big boy things. What did I have to What
Speaker 1: do I have to know in regard to um, the
Speaker 1: Vikings and the Packers. Just quick quick update here. So
Speaker 1: I said that it in a one quarterback league. I'm
Speaker 1: more after draft Aaron Rodgers this upcoming season than I
Speaker 1: have been probably ever before. He's coming at a discount.
Speaker 1: I think that some positive touchdown regression is coming his way.
Speaker 1: E Y and I both agreed that Aaron Jones has
Speaker 1: RB one upside. I believe the Y said that he
Speaker 1: has Aaron Jones is RB twelve. You know I have
Speaker 1: Davante Adams as my wide receiver. One the toss up
Speaker 1: for the Packers was whether or not you want Geronimo
Speaker 1: Allison or MVS because they basically are going at the
Speaker 1: same point right now, and I slightly lean MVS, but
Speaker 1: I don't know that there is a right answer to
Speaker 1: that question. Greg. So it's it's interesting. I was in
Speaker 1: my my Scott's fish bowl and I was deciding between
Speaker 1: both of them, and instead I just think James Washington
Speaker 1: because I couldn't decide which one. Yeah, but I think
Speaker 1: that's very comparable. And I said that yesterday too, I said,
Speaker 1: those are two situations where you want exposure to whoever
Speaker 1: the wide receiver too is correct. So you're gonna take
Speaker 1: a shot on Allison or mvs and with the Steelers
Speaker 1: will get to them in the next coming weeks. You're
Speaker 1: gonna take a shot on Washington or Dante Crief because
Speaker 1: there could be legitimate fantasy value in either one of
Speaker 1: those situations. I feel seen that in the past. For
Speaker 1: whatever reason, I feel better about James Washington that I
Speaker 1: do Moncreeve Allison and Envy has a really really tough
Speaker 1: to figure out um and I think they might play
Speaker 1: different roles. I think Liston has been working out of
Speaker 1: the slot really so far in like O t As,
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens in training. I think I think
Speaker 1: of him were like a James Jones types. That's really
Speaker 1: interesting that he's working out of the slot. So most
Speaker 1: people might not even realize this but MVS is actually
Speaker 1: bigger and faster than Geron Alison. So he plays on
Speaker 1: the outside and he's been working with I read this yesterday.
Speaker 1: He's been working with Randy Moss. Doesn't mean he's Randy Moss,
Speaker 1: but he's six ft four greg and his his forty
Speaker 1: yard dash and his speed score both ranking like the
Speaker 1: nineties six percentile coming out of college. Very interest. So
Speaker 1: MBS is like a really really interesting power speed combination
Speaker 1: at the outside wide receiver position. Yeah. Again, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: want these packers. I also, speaking of the packers, I
Speaker 1: drift that Jamal Williams this morning in my Scott's Fish Bawl.
Speaker 1: Do you have Aaron Jones? No? All right, Well I'm
Speaker 1: sorry then. I don't really think there's much upside with
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams. I mean, unless Aaron Jones gets hurt, with
Speaker 1: which I guess is a possibility, has like three m
Speaker 1: c L hairs already in his career. The sixteenth round,
Speaker 1: and I thought, hey, why not? I put out a
Speaker 1: poll yesterday, Uh Dnala Allison versus MVS, and MVS won
Speaker 1: the poll fifty eight percent of the vote. I would
Speaker 1: let Jeronali Allison. For some reason, I mean, I like both.
Speaker 1: If I could get my hands on either one, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm down. I think I'd just slightly lean MVS over
Speaker 1: Alison when what was the Minnesota conversation. The Minnesota conversation
Speaker 1: was we don't really see a pack to Kirk Cousins
Speaker 1: being all that fantasy viable because we believe the Vikings
Speaker 1: are gonna run the football a ton if Dalvin Cook
Speaker 1: stays healthy, he has top five RB upside and good
Speaker 1: luck figure out who you want between Adam Feeling and
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs. When I do, you probably lean Diggs because
Speaker 1: he's a town at leave Feeling. There's a real connection
Speaker 1: there between him and Kirk Cousins fair and he plays
Speaker 1: a slot too. Absolutely right, We'll take a break. No
Speaker 1: more Vikings, no more Packers. Today we hit on the
Speaker 1: Patriots and the Dolplins. They're around. More on the way next. Hey,

Speaker 1: Back with you on the BFF spreak stand for Eric Young,
Speaker 1: Greg Suspan all here with you. And today as we
Speaker 1: get away from the NFC, we move on to the
Speaker 1: a f C East, and we know that you've gotten
Speaker 1: a bunch of all the previews of course on the network,
Speaker 1: but we're doing in our own style. Like I have
Speaker 1: a bunch of questions, as I mentioned, and I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to get the answered. I'm not trying to previews
Speaker 1: my position round by around. I'm trying to do that
Speaker 1: and maybe we will get there, and I have a
Speaker 1: feeling when we finished kind of going over these teams
Speaker 1: will probably take it round by round after that. I
Speaker 1: know you have some other stuff you want to do
Speaker 1: as well, but where to get to all that stuff?
Speaker 1: But right now, as I said, I just have questions,
Speaker 1: and my questions today start with the Miami Dolphins. And
Speaker 1: my my question really is and I truly can't understand it,
Speaker 1: and that's why everybody is not in love with Kenyan
Speaker 1: Drake like I am, Like I I love this dude. Admittedly,
Speaker 1: he helped me with a championship a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: so I had afinity for him. But last year with
Speaker 1: Frank Gore in Miami and Adam Gaze there, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, who knows what's to come, who knows what
Speaker 1: he could possibly be. And it was very, very frustrating
Speaker 1: cause whatever you had the ball, and it was certainly
Speaker 1: not as much as he should have. I thought he succeeded,
Speaker 1: and down the stretch he had, he got a little
Speaker 1: bit more time, his head did come off a bit.
Speaker 1: But whenever Kenyan Drake was given an opportunity, he succeeded.
Speaker 1: Now the two biggest detractors of Kenyan Drake are gone.
Speaker 1: There's no more Adam Gaze, there's no more Frank Gore.
Speaker 1: It's Kenyan Drake, and it's Calen Blage. Fine, Caylen Blage.
Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with him, all good. Kenyan Drake has proven
Speaker 1: that he's an NFL running back. He has proven that
Speaker 1: he can have success between the tackles, he could have
Speaker 1: a success in the passing game. He could do a
Speaker 1: little bit of everything. And yet when I look at
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake's e d P, to me, it doesn't nearly
Speaker 1: reflect how good he could be. Kenyan Drake is currently
Speaker 1: the forty six player off the board when it comes
Speaker 1: to the running backs. Kenny and Drake, according to the
Speaker 1: nf FC in the month of July, is the twenty
Speaker 1: second running back off the board after a guy that
Speaker 1: you like in mark Ingram, after carry On Johnson, who
Speaker 1: we've spoken about, uh right before, Philip Lindsay and David Montgomery.
Speaker 1: To me, the fact that you're getting this guy at
Speaker 1: the end of the fourth round made the early fifth.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm missing something because this offense, which
Speaker 1: is not gonna be very good. I get it, Ryan,
Speaker 1: It is one guy. It's Kennyan Drake. He does everything
Speaker 1: we're looking for. All these situations where we want one guy,
Speaker 1: we found him and someone's had success before. Frank, What
Speaker 1: am I missing? Well, you hit on a few of
Speaker 1: the things there. I think this team overall is not
Speaker 1: going to be very good. And I think if Josh
Speaker 1: Rosen is the quarterback that limits some of the upside
Speaker 1: as well. I think if Ryan Fitzpatrick were the quarterback
Speaker 1: that ultimately helps the offense, helps them have big plays
Speaker 1: and helps him get down the field. In terms of
Speaker 1: putting them in position to score points overall, getting inside
Speaker 1: the red zone. So I think Ryan Fitzpatrick would help
Speaker 1: him do that. But I am in the uh. I'm
Speaker 1: in the side that I believe Josh Rosen probably starts
Speaker 1: the majority of the games this year for the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: I agree with you that Kenyan Drake is a really,
Speaker 1: really talented running back. We all saw it in twenty seventeen,
Speaker 1: that final month of the season where he led all
Speaker 1: running backs in rushing yards. He was the RB seven
Speaker 1: during that stretch from weeks thirteen through seventeen back in
Speaker 1: ten And you know, I have a bunch of stats
Speaker 1: listed here. I can basically talk your ear off about
Speaker 1: how good he is on a per touch basis, Greg,
Speaker 1: But I know that's awesome, That's exactly it. Do you
Speaker 1: think I'll throw this back your way? Do you think
Speaker 1: that wherever he's been throughout college and in the NFL,
Speaker 1: there is a reason he has not had a hundred
Speaker 1: more than a hundred and thirty three carries dating back
Speaker 1: to high school? Is there a reason? Is it because
Speaker 1: he's I couldn't pass protection? Can he not withstand a
Speaker 1: workhorse workload? Because at some point Greg I look at
Speaker 1: everything that's happened in college and the NFL level, and
Speaker 1: I think maybe the coaches know something that we don't
Speaker 1: about Kenyan Drake, whether it's his durability or something like that.
Speaker 1: That's the question mark that I have that kind of
Speaker 1: holds me back and the fact that the Dolphins offense
Speaker 1: is just not gonna be good. This conversation reminds me
Speaker 1: of an exact conversation that we had three years ago,
Speaker 1: exact conversation, and it revolved around a forward Dolphins running back,
Speaker 1: and that is Lamar Miller. Because the same thing in college,
Speaker 1: didn't have the worklod at Miami, went to the Dolphins,
Speaker 1: didn't have the workload with the Dolphins, and he went
Speaker 1: to the Houston Texans, and everybody in fantasy football drooled
Speaker 1: over him because it was gonna be finally for him
Speaker 1: in an offense by himself. Now, admittedly it was not
Speaker 1: nearly the season that we had hoped for, But when
Speaker 1: you were drafting Lamar Miller that year with everything going
Speaker 1: right for him, it was the second round. You're getting
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake two rounds later, and e y, he's the guy.
Speaker 1: Like we have questions about Josh Jacobs, you have questions
Speaker 1: in my opinion, and we disagree about this. We'll get
Speaker 1: to it next week. About mark Ingram, there are questions
Speaker 1: Kenny and Drake's the man, he's had success. What am
Speaker 1: I missing? Man? I mean for me, I'm on the
Speaker 1: same boat as you. I may not be as high.
Speaker 1: I think I got him right as uh running back overall,
Speaker 1: So I mean that's probably higher than most. I believe
Speaker 1: in this player. I believe in he has every skill.
Speaker 1: But I think the scary part is Adam Gates. That's
Speaker 1: where it comes down to. Adam and Gays is gone
Speaker 1: is finally Yeah, Adam gys is gone finally has a
Speaker 1: coach that theoretically is going to track is Yes, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. We've never seen Brian Floress. We've never
Speaker 1: seen Chad o'sheay being offensive coordinator. We've seen them together
Speaker 1: in New England. But everybody, ladies doing just wants to
Speaker 1: run the ball, right like we know that. We know
Speaker 1: certainly the Manatrician does. We knew Bill O'Brien, Bill O'Brien did,
Speaker 1: Charlie whis steyd Romeo Cornell does. Everybody wants to run
Speaker 1: the ball here's their running back. They're going to run
Speaker 1: the football. We actually spoke about this a lot yesterday
Speaker 1: and we kind of agreed that everybody wants to run
Speaker 1: the football, but hey, you need to be winning games
Speaker 1: to be able to run the football greg and you
Speaker 1: have to have a pretty solid defense. Those things I
Speaker 1: don't think are going to be the case this year
Speaker 1: for the Miami Dolphins. I think they're probably going to
Speaker 1: be one of the worst teams in the NFL. They're
Speaker 1: often of line is ranked thirty second according to Pro
Speaker 1: Football Focus. They lost their two arguably two of their
Speaker 1: three best offensive lineman from last season in free agency,
Speaker 1: So the offensive line not being good, not gonna have
Speaker 1: a lot of leads. It just all kinds of adds
Speaker 1: up to I don't know how many carries's gonna get now.
Speaker 1: I do think that he is going to have a
Speaker 1: prominent role in the past game. And you mentioned that
Speaker 1: Chad O'shay is calling place for the first time in
Speaker 1: his career. He was the wide receiver coach in New England,
Speaker 1: so he's kind of worked under Josh McDaniels. He's seen
Speaker 1: what McDaniels has done, so he's kind of learned how
Speaker 1: to use a running back as a pass catcher. There's
Speaker 1: always been a pass catcher in New England and last
Speaker 1: year we saw what they did with James White at
Speaker 1: the least. I think that's the big thing for him
Speaker 1: right like, is he's not going to come off the
Speaker 1: Kevin Kevin Blage or whatever his name is, isn't going
Speaker 1: to be He's not a pass catcher. He's a big bruiser,
Speaker 1: goal line guy. Drake's going to be on the field.
Speaker 1: I mean the question is are they going to throw
Speaker 1: the ball to him? Is he going to get usage?
Speaker 1: If he does, I think he's going to be a
Speaker 1: good running back. I mean a very very very good,
Speaker 1: good UH draft position for him where he's a very
Speaker 1: great value at this point. I mean I got him
Speaker 1: in Scott Fish Bowl as my number two running back,
Speaker 1: and I mean I'm super happy with that right now.
Speaker 1: Absolutely well of course, and that and that that I
Speaker 1: don't I don't hate his ADP. Like I like where
Speaker 1: he's going right now. Greg I could get in on
Speaker 1: him based on that. Again, I think he's going to
Speaker 1: catch a lot of pass this year. I think that's
Speaker 1: going to be the that's gonna be what saves his
Speaker 1: fantasy value. You know, if he doesn't have the opportunity
Speaker 1: to run the ball fifteen plus times a game because
Speaker 1: they're trailing a ton, I still think that he is
Speaker 1: going to get a lot of targets. So you look
Speaker 1: at that range, like right around mark Ingram. Who do
Speaker 1: you like more carry On Johnson? I like harry On Johnson.
Speaker 1: Why there's three? We talked about it last week. I
Speaker 1: think the Detroit Lions are gonna be a better team.
Speaker 1: Don't suck I I disagree. I think they're gonna be
Speaker 1: a better team. Was there over under? I couldn't tell
Speaker 1: you off It's probably like seven. It's probably in that range.
Speaker 1: It's a tough division. I realized that they made a
Speaker 1: lot of additions to the defense in the off season
Speaker 1: and needed it. They're going I think their offensive line
Speaker 1: is pretty good too. It's the middle of the pack.
Speaker 1: But I just think there are a lot of things
Speaker 1: that are playing in carry On Johnson's favor that are
Speaker 1: much better than Kenyan Drake. Look, we're just going based
Speaker 1: off the assumption that he's going to be a workhorse
Speaker 1: running back this year. We don't know that for sure.
Speaker 1: Over All, the projections I've seen for Kenyan Drake's carries
Speaker 1: this here are a hundred and sixty five six and
Speaker 1: a half. Otherwise, the over under, I think that they're
Speaker 1: going to be Yeah, I mean it's tough, probably over that.
Speaker 1: I think that the Detroit lines are going to be
Speaker 1: better this year. I like their offensive line and I
Speaker 1: like carry On Johnson overall too. You said there's three
Speaker 1: guys there, I mean, what does that mean, Greg Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that they're really gonna use
Speaker 1: c J. Anderson. I don't think he signs there Unles
Speaker 1: they're gonna use them. Yeah, he has opportunities. Calein Blash
Speaker 1: is going to get a few carries per games, but
Speaker 1: c J. Anderson is It was a free agent chose
Speaker 1: to go to Detroit. He had other I think the
Speaker 1: Lions theo riti as well. I believe that when I
Speaker 1: see it. It's been there for a long time where
Speaker 1: there's fire. I've been They've been talking about it, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it, but there is no dispute. Hendon Drake's
Speaker 1: a guy this year in Miami, and I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: advantage of it by drafting him. We'll take a break
Speaker 1: when we come back the other pieces on Miami. If
Speaker 1: there are any that you want, bring it down next.

Speaker 1: I'm happy you brought up those projections because during the
Speaker 1: break I pulled them up. Here's what Davis Maddick has
Speaker 1: to say about Kenyan Drake RBT five one D fifty
Speaker 1: six carries, sixty two targets. All right, it doesn't sound
Speaker 1: like you agree that, all right. I'm just saying now
Speaker 1: that that's two people who make projections for a living,
Speaker 1: Davis Maddick and Blake Bailey have him both for under
Speaker 1: one sixty five carries. I'm just saying, I'm throwing it
Speaker 1: out there. I'm saying that they are wrong, all right.
Speaker 1: I mean they very well could in terms of ADP.
Speaker 1: Like you read at Colin howse stupid projections were right, which,
Speaker 1: well he's probably bring it back. Which, uh, which running
Speaker 1: back going around Kenyan Drake? Would you rather have Kenyan
Speaker 1: Drake over? I'd rather have them to carry on Johnson,
Speaker 1: all right. I can't get behind that. That's fine. They
Speaker 1: got him one to one over carry on Johnson, Lindsey
Speaker 1: just in front of him, Josh Jacobs one in front
Speaker 1: of him, rather have him to Josh Jacobs. I disagree
Speaker 1: with with that. That's fine, just because Josh Jacobs is
Speaker 1: going to be I mean, they drafted him to be
Speaker 1: a they used the first round pick on him. They're
Speaker 1: going to use him like a workhorse run back. It's
Speaker 1: a better offense that I can see in PPR. I
Speaker 1: can see Kenyan Drake over mark Ingram and PPR in
Speaker 1: full point, PPR and half and standard. I think mark
Speaker 1: Ingram's gonna score more touchdowns with the Ravens. We'll see,
Speaker 1: all right, the other weapons, if you will. With the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, Uh, there's not much, Frank. You look at
Speaker 1: what they've done offensively, it's all the same, and it
Speaker 1: was not very good last year. Kenny Stills, DeVante Parker,
Speaker 1: Bryce Butler, here Man and and and this is the
Speaker 1: offense that of a running back that you want on
Speaker 1: your team. I'm just gonna keep hammering home that point.
Speaker 1: I just I don't think that they're going to have
Speaker 1: many scoring opportunities. I don't know how often they're going
Speaker 1: to get down the field and look, it's it's the
Speaker 1: same as last year. It's Kenny Stills, it's Devonte Parker,
Speaker 1: it's Bryce Butler. Those are your projected starting wide receivers
Speaker 1: right now. For the Miami Dolphins. They have Mike Caasecki.
Speaker 1: Let's see if he can take a step forward in
Speaker 1: year two. He was drafted in the second round by
Speaker 1: the these Miami Dolphins. It is a new coaching regime
Speaker 1: that didn't have anything to do with drafting Mikeasecki. But overall,
Speaker 1: for all the weapons involved, I'm not really targeting any
Speaker 1: of them outside of Kenyan Drake. If Ryan Fitzpatrick were
Speaker 1: the starter for like the first month of the season,
Speaker 1: I would have a lot more interest in someone like
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills, who led this team with like a sixteen
Speaker 1: average depth of target last year. Yeah, totally, Kenny Stills.
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick would obviously work, And I think that's something
Speaker 1: that I can get behind. It's not gonna cost you anything.
Speaker 1: And when we find out who the quarterback is, I
Speaker 1: totally agree, because Ryan Fitzpatrick is going to be bombs away.
Speaker 1: But let's say we're drafting right now, we why and
Speaker 1: we don't know who the quarterback is going to be.
Speaker 1: Between Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen, are you taking a shot
Speaker 1: on any of these wide receivers or the tight end
Speaker 1: in Miami or are you you know, saying I'll rather
Speaker 1: than somebody else, no matter what the prices. Yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: as of right now, nobody knows who's going to be
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback there, not even the team, not even
Speaker 1: the head coach, not neither of the quarterbacks. No. Um.
Speaker 1: I was reading a thing the other day saying that
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick looked good and he's uh been the more impressive
Speaker 1: one in camp. I was like, well, we'll see. Josh
Speaker 1: Rosen went from a terrible offensive line to not another
Speaker 1: good offensive line, so that's gonna be. Uh it's a
Speaker 1: hard move for this guy. I mean, I feel like
Speaker 1: he was considered a very good quarterback. But I mean,
Speaker 1: we're going to find out. I think Josh Rosen starts
Speaker 1: because they're gonna want to see what they have in him. Um,
Speaker 1: and I feel like they know that they're not going
Speaker 1: to be ultracompetitive this year. So that's what I think.
Speaker 1: And for me, Still. I have the DeVante DeVante Parker disease.
Speaker 1: He has all the intangibles, but he's never played in
Speaker 1: an offense that is any good. So we'll see with
Speaker 1: these coaches how they scheme it up. I like that
Speaker 1: this guy was a Patriots wide receiver coach. He was
Speaker 1: Round McDaniels. If nothing else, he at least has an
Speaker 1: idea how to scheme these guys open and how to
Speaker 1: use players with their best skills, you know, like that's
Speaker 1: what the page it's due. They figure out what you're
Speaker 1: good at and you do that thing. So hopefully this
Speaker 1: guy does that, uses Drake, uses Parker. Kenny Stills has
Speaker 1: proven he can do it again. I think Albert Wilson
Speaker 1: is really interesting as a as a gadget slot guy,
Speaker 1: um crazy speed. We saw him flash a bit last year.
Speaker 1: So I'm not writing the Dolphins off because I mean,
Speaker 1: the route is is. Nobody knows. This is way too early.
Speaker 1: They were bad last year, but this is going to
Speaker 1: be a different team. Uh not different players, but different coaches,
Speaker 1: different schemes, different offensive play calling. So we're going to
Speaker 1: find out. Yeah, I actually agree with e Y that
Speaker 1: I think. Again, we don't know, but I think Josh
Speaker 1: Rosen probably starts the majority, if not all, the games
Speaker 1: this season. The Miami Dolphins gave up a second round
Speaker 1: pick for him. I think they want to see what
Speaker 1: they have in Rosen, and they're not going to win
Speaker 1: a lot of games, so they need to decide whether
Speaker 1: or not Josh Rosen could be their quarterback in the future,
Speaker 1: because if not, if they have like a you know, first,
Speaker 1: second or third overall pick next year, it's a very
Speaker 1: strong quarterback class coming out of college next season with
Speaker 1: Tua and and Justin Herbert, So you know, they need
Speaker 1: to figure out whether Josh Rosen is that guy, because
Speaker 1: if he's not, then they're going to want to be
Speaker 1: in on one of those quarterbacks. So I agree with
Speaker 1: e Y overall that Josh Rosen is more than likely
Speaker 1: starting the majority of the games here, and it was
Speaker 1: the worst possible situation that he can be thrust into
Speaker 1: last year as a rookie. Entire offensive line was just
Speaker 1: depleted by injury and a you know, a an an incompetent.
Speaker 1: I will use that word for their offensive coordinator Mike McCoy,
Speaker 1: who didn't know how to use David Johnson didn't really
Speaker 1: know how to get anybody open um. Just it was
Speaker 1: just a train wreck of the season for Josh Rosen.
Speaker 1: Not really a much better situation here from Miami, but
Speaker 1: it seems like they have a little bit more confidence
Speaker 1: in him than the Arizona Cardinals did. Totally totally agree
Speaker 1: with that. I want to shift gears here because we
Speaker 1: only have a half hour left the Fantasy conversation with Eric,
Speaker 1: so I want to get on shoot the rand. The
Speaker 1: Patriots and the thing those is We've kind of alluded
Speaker 1: to this a bunch here on the show, and I'm
Speaker 1: very high on Kenyan Drake. He just heard that, but
Speaker 1: also high Sony Michelle. And it seems to me that
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy experts and analysts and fans are
Speaker 1: not nearly with me when it comes to Sony Michelle.
Speaker 1: And my my evidence is it's kind of obvious to me, right,
Speaker 1: Like Sony Michelle, we talked about first round pedigree. He
Speaker 1: has it. He was a first round draft pick last
Speaker 1: year of the New England Patriots. He battled injuries early,
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be a recurring theme that we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about. He battled injuries early, got healthy, and then touchdown, touchdown, touchdown.
Speaker 1: All some injuries in the middle of the season, came back,
Speaker 1: had some success, touchdown, touchdown. You get into the playoffs,
Speaker 1: he was a dominant force, scoring what four touchdowns in
Speaker 1: the a F c um SETI Final whatever you want
Speaker 1: to call it. Had six total touchdowns in three games.
Speaker 1: In the division championship game, he had three or four touchdowns.
Speaker 1: It was literally boom touchdown, boom touchdown, boom touchdown. Came
Speaker 1: back a week later, more touchdowns, and now Rex Burkhead
Speaker 1: was there. But they wrote Sony Michelle as their true,
Speaker 1: tried and true running back. You have the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: boom touchdown again, tried and true running back. He is
Speaker 1: the guy now in ppor leagues. I get it. He's
Speaker 1: never gonna be the past catch in his offense. Never.
Speaker 1: That's James White, and we're gonna get to him in
Speaker 1: a moment because I think he's under value it alsot.
Speaker 1: But Sony Michelle is going to be the running back.
Speaker 1: He's going to scoring the touchdowns. Rex Berg heads there.
Speaker 1: It's annoying. I I get that. That's fine. That's why
Speaker 1: he's going a little bit later than the guys we
Speaker 1: just talked about with Kennyan Drake. But Sony Michelle is
Speaker 1: the running back. He is the volume guy. More often
Speaker 1: than not, he's the guy on the goal line. And
Speaker 1: Frank and Eric will point out to you, well, he's
Speaker 1: battling under the knee injury and they just drafted Damien
Speaker 1: Harris out of college. That's true, But Sony Sony Michelle
Speaker 1: was a first round draft pick, not three years ago
Speaker 1: or four years ago, even two years ago. Last year.
Speaker 1: He was a first round traffic last year and he
Speaker 1: did that. They're giving up on him for Damian Harris
Speaker 1: one year later. You're wrong, Sony Michelle, y s talent,
Speaker 1: and I think he's another player being undervalue by the
Speaker 1: fantasy community this far. I think you keep saying something.
Speaker 1: The only thing wrong you're saying is is he is?
Speaker 1: He is? He was that last year. This, I think
Speaker 1: you guys can both agree, is the most most maddening
Speaker 1: group of running backs to own in fantasy football. Has
Speaker 1: been like this for eight or ten years. You never
Speaker 1: know who's going to get the ball. Okay, last year, yes,
Speaker 1: uh he was. When he was on, he was, he
Speaker 1: was good. Burkehead was hurt. He was hurt. James White
Speaker 1: is the past catcher, but week to week game the game,
Speaker 1: you never know if he's going to get workload. They
Speaker 1: could come in and know that the team they're playing,
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are terrible at covering the running backs. In
Speaker 1: the passing game, Sony Michelle will not touch the ball
Speaker 1: more than ten or fifty times. So that I mean,
Speaker 1: if you want to roll the dice and draft him
Speaker 1: where he's where he's being drafted and maybe have a
Speaker 1: running back six of the time, feel free. I'm not
Speaker 1: arguing that Sony Michelle is a great running back when
Speaker 1: he has the ball. But the truth is, with the
Speaker 1: New England Patriots and Bill Belichick, he has proven year
Speaker 1: after year you never know the opportunity is there, but
Speaker 1: will he get it or will it be Birkhead or
Speaker 1: will it be Harris, or will it be White or
Speaker 1: will they not run the ball and throw the ball
Speaker 1: hunter times? This is what he does. This is what
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots do. They scheme against you and
Speaker 1: and you never know week to week. So if you
Speaker 1: if you want to do that, go ahead. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to do that because it makes me nuts. Drafting Harris.
Speaker 1: Drafting Harris is playing their hand to say they're worried
Speaker 1: if you drafted running back in the first round, and
Speaker 1: the following year you draft a running back early again,
Speaker 1: they're worried. That's what that says. I don't give a
Speaker 1: crap what anybody says. They're worried about his knees. They're
Speaker 1: worried about him being healthy. If they weren't, they wouldn't
Speaker 1: draft a running back high again. Yeah, and I'm closer
Speaker 1: to where e Y is when it comes to them
Speaker 1: do drafting Damien Harris greg I can make the case
Speaker 1: four and against Sony Michelle. The number to know what
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle is eighteen. He saw eighteen or more carries
Speaker 1: in six games last season. He scored a touchdown in
Speaker 1: five out of six of those games. In all of
Speaker 1: those games that he scored a touchdown, the Patriots won
Speaker 1: by double digits. So if you're good at predicting game flow,
Speaker 1: then Sony Michelle is your guy. Same thing in the postseason.
Speaker 1: He saw at least eighteen carries in each of those games.
Speaker 1: What do you know he scored a touchdown in each
Speaker 1: one of those games. He has six touchdowns. Tell you
Speaker 1: more about why you don't want Sony Michelle. We get that.
Speaker 1: We'll also hear about why you shouldn't want James White
Speaker 1: and Julius Settlement, Julius Julius, Julian Edelman going out next. Hey,

Speaker 1: All Right, before we hit the break, we're talking about
Speaker 1: Tony Michelle and I believe he is a strong fantasy commodity.
Speaker 1: You do not believe that, Frank, Yeah, I mentioned the
Speaker 1: number before the break. To know what Tony Michelle was
Speaker 1: eighteen in the In the six games where he saw
Speaker 1: eighteen or more carries, he scored a touchdown in five
Speaker 1: of those. You saw three more games in the postseason
Speaker 1: with eighteen plus carries, he scored a touchdown and all
Speaker 1: of those. I just don't know how realistic it is
Speaker 1: for him to get eighteen plus carries in a game
Speaker 1: this season. I understand the Patriots want to run the football,
Speaker 1: or at least they are going to paint the image
Speaker 1: that they want to run the football and then probably
Speaker 1: do something completely different because as they said, that's what
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots do. But the Pats finished eighth
Speaker 1: in rush rush percentage last season, so that tells me
Speaker 1: at least last year they really wanted to run the football.
Speaker 1: And Tom Brady is one year older, so overall I
Speaker 1: think they want to. I think that's why they went
Speaker 1: out and got Damien Harris. And while we're on that
Speaker 1: topic again, I agree with e Y. I think if
Speaker 1: you draft a running back in the first round, you
Speaker 1: come back the next year and you use a third
Speaker 1: round pick on an all purpose running back. And Damian
Speaker 1: Harris that's what he's been described as, that's what I've
Speaker 1: seen out of him, is that he can be a
Speaker 1: three down running back. It just throws another wrench in
Speaker 1: the mix for the New England Patriots backfield. I don't
Speaker 1: have a problem taking any of these guys in best
Speaker 1: ball Greg and maybe just straight up in a full
Speaker 1: PPR league, I'll take James White because we know what
Speaker 1: his role is. But in just your standard Redraft League
Speaker 1: trying to plug in a Patriots running back on a
Speaker 1: weekly basis. It is one of the most frustrating things
Speaker 1: in fantasy football. I do love Damian Harris right now
Speaker 1: in Best Ball too, because it wouldn't surprise me if
Speaker 1: at some point, like he has some monster games. The
Speaker 1: Patriots constantly turned out um rushing touchdowns year in and
Speaker 1: year out from their running backs. He's probably gonna be
Speaker 1: in that makes at some point, we just don't know when.
Speaker 1: So that's why I really like him for Best Ball,
Speaker 1: because he's going the latest out of the three running
Speaker 1: backs who I think are fantasy viable. Now, you mentioned
Speaker 1: James White, and I think everybody's right in saying that
Speaker 1: week so weet it's going to be annoying. But you
Speaker 1: also said that James White, we know his role and
Speaker 1: there is no competition for his role like it's James White.
Speaker 1: And I was looking at the Patriots last night and
Speaker 1: I'm quite frankly wondering who Tom Brady is going to
Speaker 1: throw too, because you have James White and you had
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman. When he gets both of them just right now,
Speaker 1: whateppen to that's to kill Harry. It's two Marius Thomas.
Speaker 1: It's dontrelle in in Matt Lacosse. How Dad, you forget him? Greg,
Speaker 1: He's a little Matt Lacosse. That's it. I believe Brady
Speaker 1: is going to heavily rely upon James White and Julian Edelman,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, Frank, that their current A DPS
Speaker 1: reflect where they or how valuable they will be to
Speaker 1: their team. James White is going back to back with
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle. It's twenty five, twenty six pick pick fifty
Speaker 1: one and fifty two. That's in the NFCC, which is
Speaker 1: a full point pp a full point PR. So when
Speaker 1: you say that out loud, how ridiculous is that sound?
Speaker 1: That they're going back to back, Like James White should
Speaker 1: be far away, going ahead of Sony Michelle in full
Speaker 1: point PPR leaks. Sony Michelle had eleven targets last year
Speaker 1: and seven receptions. You need him to score touchdowns at
Speaker 1: a rapid pace, and I just don't know that he's
Speaker 1: gonna be healthy enough to do so. I don't think
Speaker 1: anybody knows right now. Julian Edelman is going at pick
Speaker 1: thirty six, basically the end of the third round, early
Speaker 1: fourth round. His wide receiver rank is in the NFFC fifteen. Okay,
Speaker 1: I was actually higher than I thought it was. To
Speaker 1: be honest with you, I still don't have a problem
Speaker 1: with it at all. No, Ey, how inner you are,
Speaker 1: how you or you on James White and Julian Edelman.
Speaker 1: I think PPR like you said, like he of course
Speaker 1: he's a value, he's proven that year over year. But
Speaker 1: but anywhere else, I feel like, I mean, you just
Speaker 1: don't know what his usage is going to be, and
Speaker 1: that's scary. Like, I mean, they're the Patriots, They're going
Speaker 1: to win football games, are going to win the division again,
Speaker 1: they're probably play for the super Bowl again, and everyone's
Speaker 1: tired of it. But I mean, until you can beat them,
Speaker 1: that's just the way it's going to be for me.
Speaker 1: James White is about right where his ADP is. I
Speaker 1: think I probably have him a little bit behind that.
Speaker 1: Even you just have to adjust depending on what lead
Speaker 1: you're drafting. And if it's a four point PPR, then
Speaker 1: he's a value. Other than that, I mean, he doesn't
Speaker 1: he doesn't run the ball, barely ever runs the ball.
Speaker 1: So and then if you're telling me you're a sony
Speaker 1: Michelle fan, and he's going to touch the ball eighteen
Speaker 1: to twenty times or twenty times or more, and he's
Speaker 1: the bell cow. Then how can James White beyond the
Speaker 1: field too? They don't play to two running back sets
Speaker 1: that they never do that and they go back and forth.
Speaker 1: But week to week, I mean, it's it's a dark
Speaker 1: throw and I don't I just don't want it on
Speaker 1: my team. I would have to agree with you, Greg
Speaker 1: that given the fact that Gronk is now gone, and
Speaker 1: there are a bunch of numbers that show that when
Speaker 1: Gronk is not on the field, Julian Edelman's targets go up,
Speaker 1: his receptions go up, his receiving yards go up, his
Speaker 1: touchdowns go up. Everything goes up across the board for
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman when Gronk is not on the field, And
Speaker 1: I think we started to see some of that last year.
Speaker 1: Even with Gronk on the field, he was a shell
Speaker 1: of himself last season. He just clearly was not nearly
Speaker 1: as effective as he has been in years past. And
Speaker 1: we saw that with Julian Edelman's usage. When he returned
Speaker 1: from Week five on till the rest of the season,
Speaker 1: he was a top ten wide receiver. He finished his
Speaker 1: wide receiver nine and half PPR from weeks five on
Speaker 1: last season once he returned from that suspension. And you know,
Speaker 1: while we're talking about Edelman, will bring up James White
Speaker 1: because again I agree with you, Greg, I don't know
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady has dependable targets. How often have we
Speaker 1: seen a rookie wide receiver come in and have a
Speaker 1: massive impact for the New England Patriots. Oh wait, it's
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen often. It's Rock and Aaron Hernandez worked
Speaker 1: but different positions. But nik look, Nikil Harry. I think
Speaker 1: he's a talented receiver. I think that they needed a
Speaker 1: big bodied receiver on the outside, someone who can help
Speaker 1: them a little bit more in the red zone. But
Speaker 1: while we're talking about red zone, James White finished top
Speaker 1: ten last year in red zone targets and Julian Edelman
Speaker 1: was just behind him. Julian Edelman finished top twelve and
Speaker 1: red zone targets last year. He missed four games. What
Speaker 1: does that tell you about his usage moving into this season.
Speaker 1: I don't think that you could just look at years
Speaker 1: past and say Julian Edelman is has you know, he's
Speaker 1: pigeonholed as this PPR wide receiver, he's not want to
Speaker 1: catch touchdowns. We have to project forward. That was in
Speaker 1: the past when Gronk was on the field, when he
Speaker 1: was their red zone weapon. Last season again, Edelman top
Speaker 1: twelve and red zone targets, and he missed four weeks
Speaker 1: of the season. So I think that the touchdowns weren't
Speaker 1: as flukey as they were last year for Julian Edelman.
Speaker 1: I think that that's probably going to be a real
Speaker 1: thing for him moving forward, because I don't know who
Speaker 1: else Tom Brady is going to trust in the red zone.
Speaker 1: Greg He clearly has a very good rapport with both
Speaker 1: James White and Julian Edelman. Is James White counna scored
Speaker 1: twelve total touchdowns again this year? No, probably not, but
Speaker 1: he finished as what a top eight running back. He's
Speaker 1: not being drafted as a top eight running back. So
Speaker 1: in a in a PPR league, I have no problem
Speaker 1: whatsoever with James White as my flex running back in
Speaker 1: that similar range as Terrico and and I would probably
Speaker 1: lean James White overtree. Let me throw this at both
Speaker 1: of you, though, what about the half point PPR is
Speaker 1: more and more people are playing in that half point PPR.
Speaker 1: We talked about standard PPR all the time in the
Speaker 1: value what about the half point e y when it
Speaker 1: comes two guys that are major players in the quantity game,
Speaker 1: when it comes to receptions in Edelman and White, what
Speaker 1: do you do with him in the half point PPR? Yeah,
Speaker 1: obviously he's worth more than he is in a standar
Speaker 1: in a standard I'm not touching James White, He's completely worthless.
Speaker 1: I mean basically, in a half point PPR, he's he's valuable.
Speaker 1: Half points add up, especially like you said with Gronk
Speaker 1: Gun it's it's proven in the past that his receptions
Speaker 1: will go up, so you know that's that's their their
Speaker 1: short distance mid range reception. Guy Edelman does that too.
Speaker 1: But like Frank said, he last year was definitely used
Speaker 1: on the goal line and in the red zone, and
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be used there again. Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick very seldomly trust rookies. I think last year, you know,
Speaker 1: Michelle was an exception, But I don't know if burke
Speaker 1: Head didn't get hurt, if Michelle would have got that
Speaker 1: much work. Fregy half point PPR, what do you think?
Speaker 1: I still don't mind James White as my flex. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't want him as my RB two in a half
Speaker 1: point PPR if you start your draft zero running backs.
Speaker 1: If you start with like three wide receivers in a
Speaker 1: row or two running backs on one of the elite
Speaker 1: tight ends, and you end up with, you know, James White,
Speaker 1: there is your r B two. You can probably make
Speaker 1: it work. I mean, there are many different ways to
Speaker 1: win in fantasy football, but me personally, I would feel
Speaker 1: better with James White as my flex option in both
Speaker 1: half point and full point PPR um just because I
Speaker 1: don't know how many touchdowns he's going to score overall.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, he scored tall total touchdowns last year.
Speaker 1: It's just it's gonna be really really hard for him
Speaker 1: to come close to that number. And I agree with
Speaker 1: with E. Y and standard or non PPR, like, James
Speaker 1: White is still going to score. If I had to predict, like,
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna end up with like anywhere from six
Speaker 1: to eight touchdowns this year, maybe like one or two
Speaker 1: on the ground and like five or five or six
Speaker 1: through the air. Probably something like that for James White.
Speaker 1: So that's not completely useless, but he does take a
Speaker 1: big hit in non PPR leagues that's James White. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Now I believe Ben Watson is suspended with her four
Speaker 1: games a year right with New England. He resigned there
Speaker 1: to replace Rob Gronkowski. Uh, Frankie mentioned nikkil Harry's Marius
Speaker 1: Thomas is coming off his own major injury. That's why
Speaker 1: it's just more and more on Julian Edelman. But before
Speaker 1: we wrap up the Patriots, I have to ask about
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Because Brady forever was a a top five
Speaker 1: drafted quarterback, the goat, he's the greatest quarterback of all time.
Speaker 1: But right now in the NFFC, he's the twenty second
Speaker 1: quarterback off the board. That is making him barely a
Speaker 1: QB two, somebody that cost you, well, almost nothing in
Speaker 1: drafts to get. I understand taking the name of the
Speaker 1: back of the jersey, frank and you're all about that,
Speaker 1: understandably so, but twenty two for Brady seems incredibly low here.
Speaker 1: I think it just seems low because we've played fantasy
Speaker 1: football for so long. We've seen the years where Tom
Speaker 1: Brady was the elite fantasy football quarterback. It's just let's
Speaker 1: be realistic with ourselves. This guy's going to be four
Speaker 1: two years old. When the season starts. Mind you, he's
Speaker 1: still in you know, maybe better shape than some of
Speaker 1: the other quarterbacks that are in the league. Does phenomenal
Speaker 1: job of keeping himself in good shape. But he is
Speaker 1: forty two years old, and last year he finishes QB
Speaker 1: seventeen and Fantasy points per games. So I don't know
Speaker 1: that the upside is still there. As I mentioned earlier,
Speaker 1: I think that the Patriots they understand what Brady is
Speaker 1: at this point. I don't think that they want to
Speaker 1: force him to throw the ball all that much. I'm
Speaker 1: sure that there's going to be games where it's a
Speaker 1: little bit more up and down, competitive games where he
Speaker 1: does have to throw the ball more. But ultimately I
Speaker 1: think that they want to rely on the running backs.
Speaker 1: That's why, you know, they continue to have one of
Speaker 1: the best offensive lines in the league. That's why they
Speaker 1: bring in a Damien Harris, they still have uh Sony Michelle,
Speaker 1: they still have James White. They're gonna rely heavily on
Speaker 1: those running backs. I just don't know that they're going
Speaker 1: to have to ask Tom Brady frankly Greg to do
Speaker 1: much more than what he did last year, which barely
Speaker 1: made him a top twenty quarterback and fantasy points for games,
Speaker 1: and if they don't ask him to do more, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of James White, James White, James White,
Speaker 1: James White. Plus he's historically been much better with drawn
Speaker 1: f on the field as well, so he can't down
Speaker 1: play that. But look, if you play in a super
Speaker 1: flex league, I think you can do a lot worse
Speaker 1: than Tom Brady. You know, if I took one of
Speaker 1: these upside shots as my QB one, someone who has
Speaker 1: a lot of risk. Cam Newton has a ton of
Speaker 1: upside this year, but also has the injury risk. Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray has a ton of upside this year, but he's
Speaker 1: a rookie, so inherently that comes with risk as well.
Speaker 1: If I took one of those quarterbacks as my quarterback
Speaker 1: one in a super flex league, that's a situation where
Speaker 1: I would not mind taking Tom Brady as my second
Speaker 1: quarterback or as my super flex quarterback to kind of
Speaker 1: balance out that volatility that you have in your quarterback one.
Speaker 1: Are you drafting Tom Brady? Eric Probably not. I mean,
Speaker 1: like he they showed last year that, I mean, they're
Speaker 1: just not They're not wanting to rely on him like
Speaker 1: they did it. And it's not because he's not good.
Speaker 1: That's just not what they do. They they just beat
Speaker 1: you however they can. And it's not about Tom having
Speaker 1: to make all the throws. With the Patriots though, like
Speaker 1: I said earlier, I mean they could come out this
Speaker 1: year and he could score forty five touchdowns. I mean
Speaker 1: they're good enough to do that. If they decide they
Speaker 1: want to do that, I think they could. UM. But
Speaker 1: having that that talent and at running back, I think
Speaker 1: that shows their hand. You can't ever listen to what
Speaker 1: any team says. You could only pay attention to what
Speaker 1: they do. And by drafting Sony Michelle last year number
Speaker 1: one and Harris this year, keeping burkehead, keeping White, they're
Speaker 1: saying we're going to run the ball, we're going to
Speaker 1: be ahead, we're going to play good defense, and we're
Speaker 1: going to keep the ball and we're going to win.
Speaker 1: That's what they do. UM. Now, that doesn't translate to fantasy,
Speaker 1: especially at the quarterback position last year, and I think
Speaker 1: that's what they're going to do again this year. But
Speaker 1: he slid, I mean as all as it gets, and
Speaker 1: I think he's probably the best quarterback to ever play.
Speaker 1: Will do you a break here. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we have our three questions in three minutes segment with
Speaker 1: e L asked me three questions about the two teams
Speaker 1: that we talked about, and we'll wrap up previous of
Speaker 1: course with in Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots,
Speaker 1: and we'll move on to the action hour. Here all
Speaker 1: the BFFs. That's Eric Young, that's Frank Stample, I'm Greg

Speaker 1: Three questions, three minutes, Final three of the Fantasy Program.
Speaker 1: Frank Stafle, Greg Sussman, Eric Young, Let's get right to
Speaker 1: we only have three minutes to go. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: ask both of you guys the question question number one,
Speaker 1: outside of Julian Edelman and James White, what which past
Speaker 1: catcher in New England do you want the most? Frank,
Speaker 1: we start with you. I know, I just sat here
Speaker 1: in bass Mikill Harry, but the opportunity for him to
Speaker 1: be a starting wide receiver for the New England Patriots
Speaker 1: on the outside and potentially do some work in the
Speaker 1: red zone is still there for him. Um. I don't
Speaker 1: love rookie wide receivers with the Patriots, but if I
Speaker 1: had to choose one after those guys, it would be
Speaker 1: nik Hill, Harry Eric. It's Matt Lacost for me. I mean,
Speaker 1: they've proven that they want to throw to the tight end.
Speaker 1: And uh, I don't think he's not going to be Gronk.
Speaker 1: He's never going to be wrong, but I feel like
Speaker 1: he could be a touchdown guy. And with tight ends like, look,
Speaker 1: there's four or five that you want to own and
Speaker 1: then the rest of it is roll the dice and
Speaker 1: close your and hope. Fun fact, I took Matt la
Speaker 1: coss is my third tight end in a Best Ball
Speaker 1: draft last night. Nice Frankie, not really, but thanks Greg,
Speaker 1: you got it. Funny question number two, Speaking on the
Speaker 1: tight end, Frank mantioning, Mike Kasecki was in early round
Speaker 1: draft pick last year four Miami never really got the
Speaker 1: opportunity with his new coaching staff, and there isn't much
Speaker 1: talent there in Miami. Mike Aseck U I be a
Speaker 1: fantasy commodity. Yeah, I think now I have him as
Speaker 1: a tight end sleeper. I took him in a bunch
Speaker 1: of Bestball leagues so far already, Um the coach worked
Speaker 1: with the Patriots. They know how to scheme tight ends
Speaker 1: open and use them. This guy has every intangible that
Speaker 1: a tight end needs. He's fast, he can catch, he's
Speaker 1: good after after the catch. He's got all the tools.
Speaker 1: And I mean someone's going to catch the ball. They're
Speaker 1: they're going to have me throwing. They're going to be behind,
Speaker 1: and it could be him. He's a he's a dice roll.
Speaker 1: But in a basketball or or you know your last
Speaker 1: draft pick, you'll know a week one or two whether
Speaker 1: he's going to be figured in. I agree with you,
Speaker 1: why I don't mind him as your tight end two
Speaker 1: or three in a Best Ball draft. If Josh Rosen
Speaker 1: is the quarterback. He probably needs a safety blanket to
Speaker 1: lean on. That might be Mike Kasecky Question number three
Speaker 1: or final question, final minute of the Fantasy Hour, and
Speaker 1: that is regards to DeVante Parker or fans. At some
Speaker 1: point this season, will fantasy owners be freaking out about
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker once again? Frank probably yes, yes, in a
Speaker 1: good way. I think that this is it for him.
Speaker 1: I think he's got something to prove and UH, with
Speaker 1: a new coaching staff there, he's going to show that
Speaker 1: he is he is who we've always thought he was.
Speaker 1: Here you go, he's Eric Young. That was three questions
Speaker 1: in three minutes. Frank and e Y will be back
Speaker 1: for Fantasy to talk tomorrow. When we come back, move
Speaker 1: on to the Action Hour here on the BFFs. Couldn't
