Here's 0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:25.239 the host for Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul. Welcome to Fantasy 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:27.560 Football Weekly. I am Paul charchy In. My co host 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:31.760 today is Scott Fish. Hi. Scott, Hello. Last week we 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:36.120 talked about unrestricted free agent running backs, where they could go, 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:38.599 the value of the running backs. If you missed that one, 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.200 we encourage you to go check out the podcast. Let's 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:43.880 take a look at the quarterback position, which is as 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:49.040 meaty and off season as I've ever seen in my 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:52.480 twenty five years of doing this at a professional level. 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:58.000 I've never seen so many quality quarterbacks hit the free 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.520 agency market. At one time of drisk called Gino Smith. 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.600 I can't believe Joe Webb still in the league. That's crazy, man. 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.040 That guy's earned. He's been in the league now like 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.440 ten years. I'm just gonna put that out there. Tom Brady, 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:17.320 no Tuesday night football wins, Joe Webb want to know? 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:22.680 And in third Tuesday night games in Philadelphia, UM, I 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:26.240 want to start and we'll go through all the quarterbacks fantasy. 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:29.080 It's all obviously a fantasy perspective here, but we'll talk 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:33.400 about the ideal landing places, which quarterbacks are coming up 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.960 in free agency, where we think that reasonably will go 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.240 and and what are the what are the what's the 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.600 forward facing fantasy value for these guys, especially for Dynasty 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:44.760 and Empire league owners, because that's a lot who listened 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:48.520 to these offseason podcasts, Dynasty and Empire players that are 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:52.120 that never really turned the brain off with fantasy football. 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.080 We love you. I want to start here. You know, 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.840 the temptations to immediately roll into the free agent quarterbacks, 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.480 you know, like you know bray Dan Breeze and Rivers 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.600 and Winston. We'll talk about those guys, but I thought 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:07.000 it after prepping for the show, it's got I kind 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.360 of thought it made more sense to talk through the 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:13.160 best landing spots first. Let's do it, all right, I've 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:21.120 got eight viable landing spot teams for free agent quarterbacks 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:25.240 I'm taking I'm taking several off the table. So first 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:29.080 I'm taking Dallas off the table because Dad's probably gonna 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:33.640 stay Tennessee off the table because Tannehill probably stays off 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.000 the table, bangs off the table for Joe Burrow. Miami's 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.639 off the table because I earnestly believe they'll address the 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:42.400 quarterback position in the draft, because I wouldn't they. I mean, 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:47.200 Fitzpatrick is in UM there are some teams that could 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.200 address quarterback but have immediate help, but maybe it couldn't 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.680 need some help long term. But like Detroit and Pittsburgh, 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.160 maybe Washington even But I don't I don't think they're 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.240 really players in this. So let's talk through the least 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.080 ones I've identified. Maybe maybe I have missed him. I 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.480 think the best possible fantasy landing spot for a free 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:08.359 agent is Tampa Bay. That's what I have as number 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.160 one as well. You have you got you got two 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.880 top five fantasy wide receivers right there. You got Bruce Arians, 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:15.800 O J. Howard if he could get out of his 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:20.120 own way, apparently you got the quarterback whisper. Yeah, Bruce 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.480 Arians All right, all right, good, we agree Tampa Bay 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.280 is the ideal spot. I think any of the free 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:29.040 agent quarterbacks, including by the way, Jamis Winston, could stay 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.400 with his team. UM or that's the maxim that's the 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:36.160 maximized spot. If if Jamis Winston can be a top 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.760 five fantasy quarterbacks throwing thirty interceptions, I have to believe 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.400 one of these free agents could do just as well. 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.400 The number two one in my mind is the Saints 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.360 because you get Michael Thomas and you get Sean Payton, 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.120 who I just yeah, he's he's really good. Teddy Bridge 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.320 Rutter was okay fantasy wise for a couple of those 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.000 five games. Didn't ask him to do a lot. He 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.200 had the one explosive game, and that's not a lot more. 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:00.640 I think it was two of the five he was 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.080 worth it. Um, but you know they I wish there 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.280 was a better second receiver on that team. Um. Jared 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:10.120 Cook is a viable contributor. That counts a little bit. 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.440 Elvin Kamar is really their second receiver in a lot 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.880 of ways. He is isn't he um. Which leads us, 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:16.919 by the way to the Chargers where Austin Ekeler I 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.960 think helps whoever lands. There's three landing spot. They've got 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.200 Keenan Allen, They've got Hunter, Henry, Austin Ekeler, Mike Williams. 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.359 Mike Williams, those are those are tools. I think the 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:27.880 chargers are right there. You can make a case I 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:29.920 have the chargers number two. I think you can make 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:31.760 the case the charges are number two. I think you 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:33.760 can too. I think it's better they have better weapons. 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.919 They do have better weapons. Uh. Part of it is 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:37.839 I just it's the Sean Payton part of it that 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:42.279 I just trust Payton to maximize that position a little bit. Um. Next, 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.680 and my number four is Carolina as a landing spot 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.400 for fantasy usage. You know they're a little off radar. 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.240 But then I started thinking about the weapons you get 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.800 to throw to Christie McCaffrey, best pass catching running back 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.680 in the league. You get d J. Moore and Curtis 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.719 Samuel who both got better last year and can get 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:04.680 better again. So even though that offense didn't generate much 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.680 in the way, you know, as much fantasy, I think 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.400 Ompha's we'd hope. But look at the quarterbacking had Daniel 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:15.360 not Daniel Sorry, um, what's his face? We're going with 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.719 that quarterback for the Kyle Allen. I kept thinking Daniel Jones. 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:23.120 Kyle Allen had what seventeen fumbles, which like that that's 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.320 an extraordinary number of fumbles. Yeah, and it tells you 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.800 about their draft pick Will Greer, that he couldn't get 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.760 on the field too bad. Even even at the bitter 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:33.360 end of the year, they got him on the field 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:36.000 a little bit. And I I was optimistic about Will 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.800 Greer and it's I'm not calling him, it's not over. 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.480 But when you can't beat out Daniel Jones with how 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.840 bad Jones was Kyle Allen, I do again, those two 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.920 are gonna be forever linked in my head for some reason. Uh, 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:52.600 they're not number five. I've got New England and man, 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.240 it gets shaky in here. So New England you got 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.320 James White to throw to Julian Edelman in what might 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.560 be his last year. You up Belichick, You have Belichick, 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.560 You've got Snow and nikkil Harry. I don't know those 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.320 guys meaningful. I feel like they're going to address it 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:14.200 as well. The player in the free agent receiver position. 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:18.200 They they draft receivers terribly. So, man, are they bad? Yeah, 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:23.159 we don't. There's not enough talk nationally about how bad 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.880 Belichick is as a GM. You know, we know he pulls, 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:31.000 he does. He's the puppet master for every meaningful player 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:35.359 personnel decision there. Um. You know they've really gotten that 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.080 wrong many times. Okay. Next, by the way, I mean 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.400 just the whole, the whole choosing Brady over you know, 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:45.160 over Jimmy Garoppolo decision is you know, one that's already 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:49.080 being looked at closely and reasonably. So Okay, did you 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.240 say you took the Bears off the list at the 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:55.480 beginning because the them above the past? Alright? Okay, well 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.880 I got there coming up, But I still have Indianapolis 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.400 ahead of them. That's that's the both of them ahead 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.160 of the Pats in my head. Okay, and I think 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.640 that's reasonable. I don't like any of these landing spots 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.320 at this point. For Indianapolis, you gain the advantage of 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.960 a terrific offensive line to keep you up right. You 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:12.840 have t Y Hilton, and then you have nothing else 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.960 a little nahem, hind. I think the offensive line is 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.520 a big factor. I mean, look what Jacoby Precent did 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.080 in the beginning of the season. Now, imagine a more 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:25.800 polished quarterback in that situation. I've got Chicago next, you 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:29.360 get Allen Robinson, you get Anthony Miller. You don't have 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:31.640 a very good offensive line. We're not sure about the 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:36.440 head coaches and as an offensive mind, um, yeah, I 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:37.880 think there's a lot to me, there's a lot to 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:41.080 worry about in Chicago. Even though I do I like Robinson, 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:43.360 I don't know. There's not much else there to me. 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.119 Short Field, I think Anthony Miller is better than people 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:48.520 I agree to give him credit for. And I think 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.680 I think Naggi can rebound. I mean we're we're a 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:53.920 year removed from him being Coach of the Year and 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:57.320 and he he's under that Andy Reid tree I I 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.560 didn't love last year obviously, but I think he can 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.320 rebound little bit. Do we both have Jacksonville Last? And 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:06.440 Trek Colan's basically a slot receiver to um, do you 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:10.560 have Jacksonville Last? Yeah? I have Jacksonville Last? Yeah, probably probably. 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:12.800 I have some more teams on here that would be 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.880 in that same range, but they're probably off the table. 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:19.360 So um, your jack Jaguars have DJ Chark YEP, it's 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.080 about it. Now you get a little westbrookle conly mixed in. 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:26.280 Those are role players. You almost with the way Chark plays, 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.720 in the way Westbrook plays, you almost need a guy 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.320 with a really big big I agree. This is where 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:35.560 a guy like Jamis Winston could go to Jacksonville and 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:39.560 be much more successful than Teddy Bridgewater. Right, So sometimes 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:43.480 trying of match match that player that quarterbacks throwing style 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.199 with the offense that he'd fallen too in the players 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:51.160 that Teddy bridge right of the Pats. Then maybe you 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:55.600 know it's not impossible, Uh, Pats have to do something. 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.600 They need a band aid. Yep, you know it's not 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.520 it's not gonna be ja since stiff them, stiff him? 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:09.960 How about stiff him? Let's um, you're creating nicknames all right? 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:11.600 Is there is there a team you think I missed 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.280 that's gonna be relevant in the free agent market this 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.880 year at the quarterback position? Because I think you I 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.000 think you pulled them off. I mean you pulled off Washington, 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:24.400 you pulled off the Dolphins, etcetera. So, um, some people 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:28.160 think Las Vegas could be a sneaky spot for somebody, 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.000 but I don't think so. I think there are odds 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.320 for a while, I'm brady going there. There is I 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.360 think just out of hype, there's But here's the thing, 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.560 they don't need to sell the tickets. You're you're you know, 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.880 you think they're enough hype in a new and you know, 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.320 heading to Las Vegas, you're gonna get the home Fan 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.160 Vegas card, and you're gonna get people who want to 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.240 go to Vegas for a weekend to watch their football 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.640 team and go to Vegas like the Las Vegas Nights 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:56.080 did to accept multiplied by the NFL. Yeah, yeah, it's 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.880 they don't need They don't need to make any hype 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.360 get selling decisions. The Raiders do. But it's weird to 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.000 say the Las Vegas Raiders. First time in the podcast 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:09.520 I've ever said it, the Las Vegas Raiders. Let's do this, 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.720 take a quick break, come back. Let's talk about the 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:18.600 free agent quarterbacks that we are following most closely, where 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.480 they could where they could end up when we come 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:25.920 back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charch and Scott Fish all right, 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.480 let's let's jump back into the free agent pool and 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.400 let's talk about where we want some of these free 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.400 agent quarterbacks to go. Scott, I am Paul Charching and 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:36.840 Scott Fishes with me. First, let's just take Dak Prescott 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:40.320 and Ryan Tannehill off the board. They're staying with their team, Scott, 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:45.600 Dak Prescott. Um is the Cowboys are seventy seven million 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.800 under the cap. I mean, just worst case scenario they'll 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:51.920 franchise him and figure it out. Um, Ryan Tannehill Tennessee 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:55.800 is fifty million under the cap and Tannehill's inn, they 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.120 love it. It's a it's a perfect fit. I just 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.400 I gotta believe it's kind of happy. Now, there's a 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:05.800 small chance this Prescott thing blows up, if you know, 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:07.240 and there's been a lot of there's been a lot 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:11.800 of talk about this. These high high paid quarterbacks rarely 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:16.760 translate to Super Bowl appearances, super Bowl wins. Um, it 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:18.600 strangles your team in a lot of ways to have 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.080 to pay that quarterback. And Dak Prescott is probably gonna 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:25.600 be the highest paid quarterback. So um, if not Patrick Mahomes, 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.200 he gets his deal first. But if Prescott gets his 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.800 deal first, he'll be the highest paid quarterback until Mahomes 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.480 gets his figured out. So maybe there's a chance that 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:37.200 Cowboys just say, you know what, we're not going to 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:43.040 invest a hundred forty million dollars into the position. We're gonna, 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.000 you know, we're gonna We're gonna find other ways. But 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.920 I don't think it's gonna happen on Prescott. I'm with you, 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:53.440 all right, So let's go onto the meaningful quarterbacks for fantasy, 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.760 in particular Tom Brady. So, hey, do you think he's 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.720 even still fantasy relevant? And points per game? Last year 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:05.480 he was the six highest scoring fantasy quarterback. Do you 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.360 believe Tom Brady is still a relevant fantasy quarterback? Let's 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:12.000 start there super flexing, of course, I mean he's back in. 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.400 He's gonna be a KUB two for you, but he's 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.560 probably not. I don't know that he's edging into that 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:20.520 top twelve unless I honestly, weirdly, even though we mentioned 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.360 the Bucks were the best fit for for a quarterback, 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:25.880 I think he's a better fit with the Chargers than 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:30.040 Keenan Allen's underneath work, um Hunter, Henry's down the seam 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.640 work in the middle, um Austin Neckler out of the 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.079 backfield for like a James White action. I think the 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.240 Chargers are a better spot for Brady, and I could 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.720 see him cracking that top twelve maybe in that scenario, 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.280 but there's a lot of young up and comers that 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.440 that I don't know that Brady's got any more top 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.880 twelve years in him. Um. I think you you really 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.040 hit it on the head when you think about Tampa, 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.040 at least the way that arians has run that offense. 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:57.440 It's Evans and Godwin's streaking downfield, and Brady's arm isn't 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.400 a disaster, but you know, the arm strength just isn't 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.520 what he used to be. And I don't think that. 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.160 I don't think he is a great fit there. Um, 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.400 So I agree Charges might be the better, the more 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:09.920 productive spot. He might be fine for the Saints too, 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:14.360 just with Michael Thomas and his tenure I agree with. 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.520 But I think Chargers are the best fit for And 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.880 you know, Drew Brees wasn't wasn't slinging lasers downfield last 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.720 year either, and he was fantasy relevant. And we'll talk 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.800 about Drew Brees in just a minute. So I think 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:29.200 we agree. Brady probably not a top He's the biggest name, 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.720 he's Tom Brady, and he he might bring a culture 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.880 that helps win games. So but that doesn't help us 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:40.839 in fantasy as much. No, not really. Jamis Winston won 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:45.760 games the Bucks didn't, but Jamis won us games. Um, well, 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:49.880 let's in fact, let's let's take this opportunity. Let's talk Jamison. Right. So, 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:53.280 last he was the of the unrestricted free agent quarterbacks. 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:56.679 He was the highest scoring of all of them. Uh 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:59.480 in fantasy points per game other than maybe no Dak 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.199 Dak was fifth and Jamis was six. He's the highest 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.120 scoring guys who think are gonna be available. Um, you 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.439 mentioned the thirty interceptions he threw thirty three touchdowns. You 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.160 know how many games had he opened the game with 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.559 an interception and or maybe two and you're like, oh, 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:15.600 Bucks are dead now, Oh wait a minute, here comes 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:21.280 two touchdowns, six or seven first drive interceptions. Unbelievable for winstance, 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:25.760 I mean staggering that he kept the job as on 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:31.040 that for almost half your games, destroying your team's chances 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.120 to come out hot by throwing those first interceptions. Unreal, 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:38.160 and even more impressively, that Jamis didn't just like totally unravel, 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.840 He's just unfaced. Just keep heaving deep balls and he 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:47.880 really is. Um, his best fit is Tampa Bay. The 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.920 best fit is Tampa Bay, isn't it? There's no better 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:54.160 fit for him. There really isn't a better fit for him. Um. 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.040 You talked about how the Charges have got a lot 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:59.720 underneath guys. Caroline is kind of interesting. Mike Williams is 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:01.840 a great deep guy, but most of their stuff is 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:07.320 yeah underneaven. Yeah. Um, Caroline is kind of interesting. D J. Moore, 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.800 Curtis Samuel, they could get a little something going downfield. 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.960 I wouldn't mind him there. Um, I don't know if 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:18.480 he if he finds his way to Indianapolis Chicago, jamis 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:22.360 without that's the question. The Bucks line not good, the 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:27.320 Colts line. If he had time, that's a fair question. 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:29.960 And what and is he at this point? Is he 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:31.880 so used to getting rid of the ball in two 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.880 point three seconds that you know, what would you do 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.200 if he had three and a half seconds in the pocket? 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:41.920 What happens? We mentioned earlier Jacksonville's a sneaky landing spot 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.960 for for Winston, where with the deep ball to Chart, 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.440 the deep ball to Conley, maybe that could bring a 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:51.520 little bit of fantasy relevance to a team that doesn't 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:55.480 usually have much And we're an actual running game for James. Yeah, 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.000 how about that too. You know what if Jamis thrives 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:01.880 in that situation, that'd be fun. Um. I Winston remains 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.800 to me very fantasy interesting. I like you know, I 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:08.240 like the I like the options for him my hunches. 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.320 You think he stays in Tampa, Tell me what you think? 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.480 I do? I think he stays in Tampa. I think 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.280 it's less it's far less of a certainty than like 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.320 Tannehill and Prescott. But I think I think there's a 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.120 very good chance he stays in Tampa. I mean, it's 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:24.840 the devil, you know, a situation I can I can 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:28.280 believe arians might think he can, you know, help fix 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.480 some of that. Yeah, and maybe he can. Um we'll 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.880 find out. I lean yes, But I'm not as strong 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:37.280 as you are. It's been a lot of losing under 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:42.040 Jameis Winston for that organization, and I I think they 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:46.560 know he's not a super Bowl quarterback. So do you 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.960 want to sign a guy that you know? You know 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.000 because you know everything about him. His whole career has 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.600 been spent with the Bucks. If you know he's not 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:56.120 a guy that can lead you to the super Bowl, 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.000 are you gonna sign him to another three or four 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.840 or five year deal? Yeah, that's that's a fair point. 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.000 The market could dictate that. It could the market for 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.360 Winston could dictate a three, four or five year deal 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.040 that could be pretty expensive. Or do you just say, 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.479 you know what, we're going Teddy Bridgewater for a year 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.359 while we developed somebody else or whatever. Right, I would 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:21.639 be dropping Evans way down my ranking disaster fantasy. But 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.200 that's a very real possibility, is um, Well, let's use 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:28.400 that as our transition to Teddy Bridgewater. He was well, 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:30.840 And let's do all of the Saints quarterbacks. They're all 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.760 free agents. Teddy Bridgewater who chose to stay with the 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:36.440 Saints instead of possibly being a starter in my money 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:40.320 last year and probably helped himself by and it was 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:45.240 a starter and showing um it was not explosive, I 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:48.040 don't believe, but I did have that four touchdown game 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.959 that was I think, you know, people maybe didn't think 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:52.360 he had in him because he never did it, never 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:56.480 did it before. Um barely had two touchdown games before. 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:01.720 So Bridgewater is finished three ninth in fantasy points per game. 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.520 So just using those five games as a sample, he 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.280 wasn't even a top forty two, wasn't even an NFL 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:13.080 starting fantasy quarterback. Do you believe he's fantasy relevant? Even 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:15.040 in the right spot you can give you the perfect 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:17.879 team to fall into, which is probably the Saints by 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:25.919 the way. Weirdly, in a perfect spot, he's super flex viable. Otherwise, no, 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.840 he's he's He's the kind of guy you pick up 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.560 if he's got a good matchup. Maybe I always call 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:34.960 him the ultimate game manager, which just pisces people off 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:39.840 in Minnesota because they love their I just saw Teddy Bridgewater, 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:43.399 Jersey just this weekend. People don't have people still do it. 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:46.639 They love they love their Teddy here. Um confusing. I 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.960 think a great guy who had a tragic end. And 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.520 you know there was some promising moments and you know, 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:55.960 people have just conflated that into this, you know, this 0:18:56.280 --> 0:19:01.480 mythical mythical Treeddy Teddy Bridgewater. Um. And you know the 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.639 comeback that I get on Twitter a lot is stop 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:05.840 playing fantasy. You know he's not, you know, he's not 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.439 in lite fantasy quarterback. But you know, just look at 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.600 his wins and look at his winning percentage and there's 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.639 a little something to that. But sure there's a fantasy podcast. 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:19.080 He's also had some pretty decent defenses and players around 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:23.040 him for people in Minnesota. The defense in Minnesota when 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:26.880 he was with a good awfully good Yeah. Um, so 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.240 let's stay with Let's stay with the Saints. Drew Brees 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:31.720 is a refre agent. He says the only team he's 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:33.399 gonna play for his his Saints. He'll either play for 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:36.040 the Saints or retire, you know, which I think makes sense. 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.200 Let's assume he comes back. What's what's his level of 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:41.680 fantasy relevance in your mind? He was eighth in Fantasy 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.520 points per game, which is better than I expected to 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:48.679 hear you say it seems higher than he was, especially 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.359 in it felt the tail end of twenty eighteen paired 0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:53.680 with last year, just it did not feel that way 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:58.280 at all. Um. I think with a lot of these 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:00.480 young guys coming up, I think he's falling out of 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:02.840 the top twelve. For me, Even though I see that 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.120 number eight right there, I still I get that. I 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.560 feel like he's outside of that top twelve. All right. 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:10.879 So even returning to the Saints and offense, he knows 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:14.040 with Sean Payton and you know, he's never been probably 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:17.360 a in his is every year that he's ever been 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:19.640 with the Saints, and John Payton has probably never been 0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:23.720 a fantasy quarterback twelve or lower. You think the end 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:27.040 is so close for him now, and the the the 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:30.040 skills have diminished, the arm strengths have diminished enough, the 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:34.480 fantasy production is diminished enough, explosiveness has diminished enough with 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:36.320 Drew Brees that you do not believe he would be 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:38.960 a top twelve quarterback. I do feel that way, but 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:41.000 you look at the last four games. He was over 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:43.879 twenty fantasy points, forced to four games send the season, 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:48.639 including a forty pointer, wasn't in the playoffs in the 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:51.679 one playoff loss. No, not in the regular season. Excuse me, 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:56.119 but yeah, I'm just not buying it. I'd rather have 0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:58.880 the upside of one one of the other guys than 0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:01.560 than him. He he's gonna be startable in a lot 0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:03.760 of weeks. He'll be that's hail end of twelve. I 0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:07.000 guess in redraft, Breeze is going to be that quarterback. 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:09.800 No nobody is excited to take. He's gonna fall to 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:14.120 like round because you know who wants Drew Brees boring 0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:16.960 and then you know he'll end up being fine, totally 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:21.359 serviceable fantasy quarterback. Um. And we know he's got explosive 0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:24.200 upside because we've seen it before and many a billion 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:27.200 times in his career. Three touchdown games, four touchdown games. 0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:29.119 Nobody'll want him, but it'll still be good. All right. 0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:31.400 Let's he's the kind of guy that you don't want, 0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:33.640 You don't want to take him, and he's gonna outscore 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:37.080 like Carson Wentz somehow, who everybody draft over him. I 0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:39.480 want to talk about Tasom Hill because he's fascinating. But 0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:41.040 we'll take a quick break and then we'll go to 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:44.160 Taysom Hill, Philip Rivers and round out some of our 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:47.160
