2
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: the return of the NFL Fantasy Live podcast. I guess

3
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: it's a podcast. It's really gone nowhere. I'm joined alongside

4
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: by Michael Fabiondo, the Hall of Famer of course, Marcus Grant,

5
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com Fantasy Editor, and introducing for those those

6
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: folks who have watched the show but haven't heard his voice.

7
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: He's been a big part of Fantasy as well. The

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 1: whiz kid from Wisconsin, Alex Gelhar Alex, what's up man?

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: Not too much thrilled to be here. I feel like

10
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: I got called up to the big leagues after spending

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: a while in Triple A. So I like it. Absolutely,

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: you got the call up and it's much deserved. But

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: he's Chris Bryant, that's where he is. Just give him

14
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: Jack Peterson, you know. I think because we're in l A,

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: I think we go Jock Peterson ding ding ding ding ding.

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant wins that one. But no, it's a podcast.

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: Listen that. Uh. I know the folks who have download

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: the punk gass uh no that the podcast is really

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: not really gone anywhere, but they've borrowed audio from the

20
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Life show that airs on NFL Network and

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: just basically, you know, transplanted that onto the podcast. But

22
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna do a little something different. We're going back

23
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: to the old schools. And right, Mike, we are going

24
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: back to the old school Uh, it's probably about three

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: years ago when Jason Smith, Elliott Harrison and I did

26
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: a podcast every week during the football season, and uh,

27
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: hoping to bring something like that back to life starting

28
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: right now. I mean, we're we're in Hollywood, so this

29
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: is a reboot. It's, by the way, one of the

30
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: worst hit me ideas that Hollywood's ever come up with

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: is redoing Point Break, which was brilliant and perfect all

32
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: buy It's lonesome, and now they come out with this rotten,

33
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: awful trailer that looks like trash. But I mean, Alex,

34
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: it's like a bad Keanu Reeveson tell me about I

35
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: watched that and I almost threw up in my mouth.

36
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: First of all, First of all, it was awful, I

37
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: mean awesome. Did you say perfect eciding? It was great? Look,

38
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: it was what it was. It was great. It was

39
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: a B plus movie. Let's not let's not get let's

40
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: get too crazy. Let's not get too for the highlight

41
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: of Lori Petty's career. That's true, that is true, you know.

42
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: I mean it was kind of a training ground because

43
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: Katherin Bigelow, the director went on to win an Oscar

44
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: for the hurt Locker Keanu res the Great Things in

45
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: the Matrix and Anthony Kiedis is one of the best

46
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: singers of our generation. Now, wow, of our generation. Okay,

47
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm old, by the way, for those folks I don't know. Okay,

48
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: so uh, you know, Marcus Grant now with Gail are

49
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: actually sit together or close to each other their pupils.

50
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: They don't hold hands though. The NFL dot Com Fantasy

51
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: corner over there. But man, it is crazy how many

52
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: pop culture references these guys tossed back and forth. It's insane.

53
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: It's absolutely insane there, like Elliot Harrison with football exactly.

54
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: It's unreal. They're they're their own pop culture Wikipedia page

55
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,839
Speaker 1: over there. But um but yeah, so no, it's it's

56
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: it's good that that you guys are getting introduced to

57
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: Alex Gilher again. It's long overdue, but we are talking fantasy, man,

58
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: we are. It's back. NFL dot never left. It's never left.

59
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: Fantasy never sleeps. I'll call it a comeback. It's been

60
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: here for years. NFL dot Com slash Fantasy. You can

61
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: sign up right now, so that's always good. And by

62
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: the way, we're also introducing, as we do pretty much

63
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: every year with fantasy, uh, the Draft Kit, the NFL

64
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: dot Com Draft Kit, and we've got a nice little

65
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: web page set up for that NFL dot Com slash

66
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: Draft Kit, and Alex walks through what the draft kit means.

67
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: What's in that bad boy, Well, it is everything you

68
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: would ever need to get prepared for the fantasy season.

69
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: That marks and I toil over tirelessly for months and

70
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: months and months working since the Super Bowl, right right.

71
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: So what it'll have is it'll have draft strategies for

72
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: you to player profiles for the top quarterbacks, running backs,

73
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: wide receivers, tight ends, kickers, defenses, and I d P.

74
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: I don't have other id PDP that is serious deduct

75
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: that's more of the hipster fantasy style right there. And

76
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: uh it also in a PPR IDP league, man, those

77
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: point totals are going to be two quarterbacks, two quarterback

78
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: IDP PPR leagues. No anyone, are you being punished what

79
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: are you doing? But that would be a true hipster league.

80
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: But but yeah, we got playing of stuff on there.

81
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna hit a lot of it in the podcast today.

82
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: Let's talk about their first round though, uh, because the

83
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: first round that that's the Glamour positions, the Glamour players.

84
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: If you have the number one overall, pick Mike, who

85
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: who are you going with? Well? I have Peterson right now.

86
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: But there's no wrong answer. I mean unless you say

87
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: Cody Lattimer should be this, and that's the wrong answer.

88
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: But at the top of the boarder, what's going on

89
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: with Peterson in this mess between him and the Vikings?

90
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: And Vikings are saying you're playing for us or you're

91
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: not playing. I'm starting it a little scared. I'm not.

92
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you. If Peterson ends up

93
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: moving down my board, Levian Bell will probably ascend a

94
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: number one, or maybe it'll be Jamal Charles, but he's

95
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: gonna miss some games. This is the first right, This

96
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: is the first time in a while where there is

97
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: not a consensus number one. In fact, there isn't two

98
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: players that you can say it's either Ham or him.

99
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: Why not Jamal Charles? You can make a great argument

100
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: for Jamal Charles why not Andrew Luck Marks scrant Because

101
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: while I am and I know I get to quarterbacks

102
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: a little bit later, I am not completely against taking

103
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: a quarterback in the first round either. Maybe there are

104
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: there you are. They're only like six or seven elite

105
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: fantasy running backs right now, and if you're in the

106
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: top part of that draft, I think you gotta grab one.

107
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: I would for my taste right now, I'm kind of

108
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: leaning towards Eddie Lacey. If it would be Levian Bell,

109
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: if he weren't suspended to the start to start the season,

110
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: he would be my number one, hands down. But with

111
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: him missing a few games, he drops down. And I

112
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: still think he's the top three, top four pick, but

113
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm leaning toward Eddie lay. But that's the point. Eddie

114
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: Lacy is a good pick at number one too. Right

115
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: Marks and I were talking about it down in the newsroom.

116
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: With Eddie Lacey. You gotta like that. Um, He's been

117
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: in the top six in each is two years in

118
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: the league, and he's operating in one of the best

119
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: offenses in the NFL that just throws fantasy points at

120
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: the scoreboard every afternoon and primetime game. So I think

121
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: for him if you're looking at that number one pick,

122
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: because you've got guys with a lot of question marks,

123
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: whether they're missing games like Levian Bell or Adrian Peterson

124
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: is going to be a Viking? Is he not? Is

125
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: he gonna sit out? Is he gonna hate life when

126
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: he plays for Minnesota? You don't know. Eddie Lacey just

127
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: seems like a safe pick to get you about eleven

128
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: yards and ten touchdowns, which when you're drafting at number one,

129
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: you don't want to lose your draft there, so you

130
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: kind of want to be be safe a little bit.

131
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: You're talking about that floor got a very high to

132
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: argue that there are issues or at least one or

133
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: two question marks with every one of the top ten gas,

134
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: by the way, I do every single one. I do

135
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: think Adrian Peters is gonna end up playing in Minnesota.

136
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: I think with this ultimatum being out there and him

137
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: having missed essentially a whole season last year, I just

138
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: I don't see anyway he sits himself out and misses

139
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: another season at all. I think I think he will play.

140
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: Jerick mckinnard fans are sad, very sad. They have the sad.

141
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: What about matt Acota fan? Wait, well here, look, hey, listen,

142
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: here is the top twenty tells you how bad the position?

143
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: Um So I guess that transitions into you know, who

144
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: are we scared of? And I'll start I'll go ahead

145
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: and just say Eddie Lacy, I don't know. I saw

146
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: him early on last season, just struggle mightily. I know

147
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: he faced some very difficult defense in Seattle Week one.

148
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: I think he had Detroit mixed in there as well.

149
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: But just his upright running style scares me. Man, I

150
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: look at him, I see it basically a more talented yes,

151
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: But I see Brandon Jacobs out there. Man, he's a

152
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: big pounder and a guy who's basically when he runs

153
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: over guys and he trucks guys. Man, he looks awesome.

154
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: He looks awesome against the Vikings always. But I tell

155
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: you what, man, just that upright running style scares me.

156
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: And it's it's one of those things where I feel like,

157
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: if he if he gets an injury, uh, he might

158
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: be a prime candidate to to miss four or five games.

159
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: But he's he's just a guy that scares me. What

160
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: about you, guys, I'm gonna go with I have this

161
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: whole list here of eyes, but I will I will

162
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: land on Jeremy maclin um just because of the offense

163
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: he plays in now. And you know, I know the

164
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: Chiefs threw a lot of money at him to come

165
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: over from Philadelphia, but now he's playing with a quarterback

166
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: who is either incapable or just downright afraid of throwing

167
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: the ball more than seven yards down the field at

168
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: any one time. I mean, the number of like throws

169
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: that were at or behind the line of scrimmags from

170
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: Alex Smith is mind bottling. It's just it's it blows

171
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: me away, and so I just worry that it's awful.

172
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: It is to watch the Chief's office and Jeremy maclan

173
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: is going to be sucked into that vortex of dull

174
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: and it's just going to kill his fantasy product. Did

175
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: you know that Andy Reid was the head coach of

176
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles for fourteen years and I believe nine of

177
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: those years his leading wide receivers did not have a

178
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: thousand yards? Is that the most any wide receiver has

179
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: had in Philadelphia playing under Reid is t O had

180
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: one year that was that was it um and he

181
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: had Donovan mcnabback there. It was not afraid to on

182
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: it down is awful as a downfield pass. Um. I

183
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: guess my question there. Though. It's interesting because Andy Reid

184
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: known as a very good offensive head coach. Uh. It

185
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: seems like they have some decent pieces in place. They've

186
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: got Jamal Charles, Jeremy Macklin. I love this kid out

187
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: of Georgia, Chris Connolly. Uh. Not only is he a

188
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: huge Star Wars fan. You gotta go check out a

189
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: thirty minute fan fiction piece. Uh, It's on YouTube, go

190
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: search for it. But he's just an athletic freak man.

191
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: So he's got some They've got some weapons that can

192
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: really bust out. I don't know. It seems to me

193
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: like maybe maybe they open it up a little bit.

194
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: Would I be crazy and thinking that Alex. Uh, maybe

195
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: a little bit to see how brave Alex Smith feels. Um.

196
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: While I mean, I'm gonna jump back to who I'm

197
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: afraid of, come back into the first round a little bit.

198
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: Marcus is clearly having night nightmares and night terrors. Um.

199
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: I'm a little leary, and it pains me to say

200
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: this because I've been a big fan of him for years.

201
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: But I'm a little learia Matt Forte this year in

202
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: the first round. He's still what I would consider in

203
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: that upper echelon elite backs that you should get in

204
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: the first round and trust. However, there have been whispers

205
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: of John Fox and Adam Gays bringing a committee approach there.

206
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: And while Forte did do a lot in Mark Trustman's

207
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: offense the last couple of years. Over at Pro Football Focus,

208
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: Pat Thorman had a couple of good good tweets about

209
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: him That last year. In a stat they measure called

210
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: fantasy points per opportunity, which is carries and routes run,

211
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: Forte ranked thirty nine in the league. Now, I mean

212
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: he had a hundred, so he did still make a

213
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: lot of I would say twenty to thirty of those catches,

214
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 1: at least in this offense. At least I had to

215
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: pour a little bit out with Mark Trustman left Chicago

216
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: because I knew he was taking market. It was sad

217
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: Porte's fantasy value with him, and I mean codem car

218
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: is still there. They brought into Quiz Rodgers, who has

219
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: always been a pass catching back. I love Jeremy Lankford

220
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: and Jeremy Lankford too, He's got more on that downhill

221
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: physical style that they need in that black and blue

222
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: NFC North. So Matt Forte still could be great, but

223
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: it would not surprise me if he suddenly slipped out

224
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: of the going to be the end of the year.

225
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: You know who scares me in the first round? Hit

226
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: me everybody? Eric Peterson, is he gonna play or not?

227
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: Levy on three game suspension, Jamal Zaras, Okay, I feel

228
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: safer with him. Same thing with Eddie Lacy, Arian Foster,

229
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: I love him. Durability is an issue Forte. Alex just

230
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: brought it up. Lynch more carries than any running back

231
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: than the NFL in the last four years. Leshawn McCoy volume. Yes,

232
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: offensive line is crap Buffalo, and the quarterback position is

233
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: a major question mark. Rob Gronkowski, Okay, you know, best

234
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: quarterback for a couple of games, correct, And he isn't

235
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: the most durable guy in the world. He was last year.

236
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: But I'm never going to take a tight end in

237
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: the first round. So there's a lot of question marks.

238
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're in a PPR league, maybe Antonio

239
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: Brown is this very safe pick, but man, I I

240
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: can't take anything but a running back in the I've

241
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: been doing this for too long. Can I ask you this?

242
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: Stuck in my way? Calvin Johnson has been known to

243
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: be that one wide receiver lock first round pick. Is

244
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: he a lock first round pick? This year? Second round?

245
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: He's a second rock second round? Yeah? I think. I

246
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: think if they're still got Dez Bryant and to Marry,

247
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: I mean, do you have to Mary's Thomas or Dez

248
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: Bryant the first round? Right now, there's one receiver that

249
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: I could possibly put in the first round in its Antonio.

250
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: That's what everybody else is is earlier second round. Like

251
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: you know, if you're going to Megatron Des, you know,

252
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: maybe the Mary's. Those guys are all early to mid

253
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: second round. And we're talking standard league's PPR change PPR

254
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: pbr Antonio Brown without a doubt. Oh yeah. But I'm saying,

255
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: as Calvin Johnson, does he get in now? I I say,

256
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: I still say second round in a ten team league,

257
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: Demarius will be a first rounder I think in those leagues,

258
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: in PPR leagues. But again, you're still going to see

259
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: a lot of running backs going in the first round,

260
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: even in PPR leagues, because once you get past a

261
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: certain number and it's maybe ten. Man, the question marks

262
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: just start building up even more. Can C. J. Anderson

263
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: be what he was in the second half of last year?

264
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: Can Jeremy hill be what he was in the second

265
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: half of last year. I'm going all in on Jeremy

266
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: hill Man DeMarco Murray. It's funny. I wrote a column

267
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: yesterday or the day before on the ten predictions that

268
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: will affect fantasy teams the most if they go wrong. Yeah.

269
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: No one, and this includes me and everyone else out there.

270
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: I don't care what your name is. If you were

271
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: a fantasy analyst, you were not predicting to Marco Murray

272
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: to be the number one running back Fantasy football. And

273
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: this year, no one is not picking him to be

274
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: a bust, right, I mean it's quite a popular opinion,

275
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: you know so, and he's he's on the RB two level.

276
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,599
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not worried about to Marco Murray. I

277
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: think he's got he's got a great offense. Obviously, he's

278
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: got all de pends on your expectations. True, Am I

279
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: taking him number one overall? No? But if he's if

280
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: he's around with that number six or seven pick, I'd

281
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: be hard pressed to pass him to Marco Murray's he's

282
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: in an an awesome offense. Three carries and he's got

283
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Mathews right. First of all, let's just let's stop

284
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: uttering the name Ryan match Well, he's there, but he's

285
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: gonna get touches. I mean, that's the whole point. He's

286
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: going to take Matthews. Doesn't scare me one iota. He

287
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: is gonna take de Marco Murray off the field. At

288
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: times this year, I'd be more worried about Darren Sprowles,

289
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: but again, I think Chip is going to figure out

290
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: a way to get um all three of those guys involved.

291
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: And for me, listen, the bottom line is maybe obviously

292
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: the yards will not be there for for DeMarco Murray,

293
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: but how many scoring opportunities are they gonna have? And

294
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. If they get down the first

295
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: and goal, DeMarco Murray is gonna be in there. You're

296
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: not gonna see Ryan Matthews, You're not gonna see Dren's. Well,

297
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: you might see Darren Sprowls leak out into the slot

298
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: or something like that, but demark he's gonna be at

299
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: that goal line quite a bit. And I like that.

300
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: What was their quarterback Sam Bradford. It's gonna be all

301
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: fun and games until they play action and throw the

302
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: ball to zact Arts or Josh Huff I mean at

303
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: ship telling to the list of coaches that hates your

304
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: fantasy right right, he's on that list. He's not quite Belichick,

305
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: but he's up there. All right. Here's the thing. Let's

306
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: transition from the first round. You know what people like

307
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: talking about They like talking about sleepers. Uh. And we'll

308
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: start with you, Alex, give me, give me a couple

309
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: of guys that are highlighted on your sleeper list. Well,

310
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: let's see where to start. I think this will be

311
00:14:58,360 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: a good one to jump into because I think we're

312
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: all fans of him this year. Coming in is David Cobb,

313
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: the rookie that Tennessee Titans took. I actually just saw

314
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: a quote today, since O t s are going on

315
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: right now and all the beat writers are live tweeting

316
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: everything they see and everything the coaches say. Ken wasn't

317
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: Hunt today told the beat writers that he wants Bishop

318
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: Sanky to get bigger and stronger. You know who is

319
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: a bigger and stronger Bishop Sanky. That would David Cobb,

320
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: Dinging Ding right. I wanted to marry Jennet Jackson in

321
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: high school. We don't always get what you want. Jennet

322
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: Jackson high I was for a listen a lot of

323
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: the problem I see with David Cobb. First of all,

324
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: he ran like a six eight forty. He pulled a

325
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: quad in the combine. When he ran, he pulled up halfway.

326
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: So oh no, I hear what you say. But but

327
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: he's not a he's a he's not And and again, uh,

328
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: and they spent a first round draft pick on Bishop Sankey.

329
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: I think for me, those are two guys. Both those

330
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: guys I'm avoiding because I'm not really in love with

331
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: the Tennessee offense. And uh and David Cobb. I think

332
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be splitting a good amount of here. But

333
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: that's why he's a sleeper. And I would argue that

334
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: he's a deep sleeper because you're gonna tay come after Yeah,

335
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: maybe after round twelve. And at that point I will

336
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: grab him all day long. I might reach. I might

337
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: reach a hair above round ten, round nine. That starts

338
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: getting I get a little fristy saucy. If there's guys

339
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: I like, I'm not afraid to jump around or too

340
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: early and grab him. You're you're from the Midwest, do

341
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: you like him? He's a Minnesota product, He's a Gopher.

342
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: So Marcus Grant, how about you? I am I'm all

343
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: in on Kevin White this year. All in. I'm all

344
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: in on Kevin White this show because I look at

345
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: him and I feel like, in a lot of ways

346
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: he could be this year's version of saying Mike Evans

347
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: a guy who lands in a situation where he has

348
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: a lot of athleticism. He's a playmaking guy. But they're

349
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: not gonna expect him to be the number one in

350
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: that passing game. They've got alshon Jeffrey there in Chicago.

351
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: He's going to be the guy that that Jake Cutler

352
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: looks to first and foremost, and Jeffrey is gonna get

353
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: a lot of attention. Hopefully that leaves White with some

354
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: one on one opportunities. And the difference between Kevin White

355
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: and Mike Evans is that Kevin White's gonna have a

356
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: better quarterback than Mike Evans. Y, So I do I

357
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: think he can be one of those guys who breaks

358
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: out as a rookie. I I can say I'm going

359
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: to try and maybe grabbing as mini drafts as I can.

360
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: I love Kevin White, especially in my flex because at

361
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: that flex position, you want a guy. You want a

362
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: guy who can be a game breaker on a week

363
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: to week basis. You know what I'm saying. I think

364
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: Kevin White on a week to week will be very

365
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: up and down. But I guarantee you there's gonna be

366
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty yard to touchdown game one or two

367
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: times next year with Kevin White. And that's the kind

368
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: of guy if you're throwing him in the flex, Hello,

369
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: that's the guy that's gonna carry you for for one

370
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: or two weeks. So I like that pick. How about you, Mike.

371
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of rookie sleepers, Keevin Coleman, t

372
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 1: J Yelden, but I've gotta go with Joe Randall. I'm

373
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a homer. I don't he's He's on my list.

374
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: He did say today that DeMarco Murray left a lot

375
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: of meat on the bone last year out there on

376
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: the gridiron. Although DeMarco who said that, Joe Randall said

377
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: hundred yards and broke EMT Smith's record, j Cam down

378
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: the Cowboys franchise rushing record it's fine, but I just

379
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: don't see Aaron McFadden staying healthy for a full sixteen games,

380
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: and at some point upside and talent is going to

381
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: overtake experience, and that offensive line is sick. Joe Randall's

382
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: saying sick, it's sick, it's sick. It's crazy. Joe Randols

383
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: saying to Marco Murray left meat on the bone is

384
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: like my hair butcher saying she left some hair on

385
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: my head. She at least good looking, she was cute.

386
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: She was cute. But you know, I went in for

387
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: a quote unquote very light trim and the hair butcher

388
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: went to work. Did you get honored? Did you like

389
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: no because you go off no kids? Did you say, listen,

390
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm on TV my hair. I that that is a

391
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: line of never dropped. Well, I haven't joking with my

392
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: wife when she tells me to take the trash. Hey,

393
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: you need to change baby cos poopy diaper. But I'm

394
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: on television. Just changed doesn't matter. But no, yeah, I

395
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: mean that's that's a little bit of crazy talk from

396
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: Joe Rando. But it's all good, um man. I loved

397
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: to havin Coleman, And there's a lot of rookie running backs.

398
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: I found that I love. Actually it's crazy, but yeah,

399
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,239
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman's guy. Uh, a University of Indiana product. Two

400
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: thousand yards two thousand yards on a crappy Indiana team.

401
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: And it wasn't just because it was a volume player.

402
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: I mean he did get a lot of guy he

403
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: did get a lot of of plays. But Alex, you're

404
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: tapped into that big ten you know network there. Uh

405
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: you saw him play. I know you saw him play extensively.

406
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: Should we be excited for? For? To me, I look

407
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: at Tevin Coleman, I say, Okay, he's gonna be in

408
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: a Kyle Shanahan one cut system. There's gonna be offensive

409
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: weapons on the outside. He's got a good quarterback as well.

410
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: He can catch the ball out of the backfield. There's

411
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: no reason for this guy. For for this guy not

412
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: to succeed next year. What you gotta like about him

413
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: and how he racked up so many yards in Indiana

414
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: was he was one of the few true home run threats.

415
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: Every time he touched the ball, it was like him

416
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: and Todd Gurley basically had the speed and the vision

417
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: in the movie that if they could hit that crease right.

418
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: I mean granted, now you know, you know what. I

419
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: just realize you're not a big fan of Tevin Coleman though, No,

420
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: I do like him a lot. I do like him

421
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: a lot this year. Um, I've been a fan of

422
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: DeVonta Freeman though, So I think this could be. It

423
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: could be a solid one to punch both. They both

424
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: could be successful. We're just going to have to see

425
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: because even earlier this week, DeVonta Freeman was saying he's

426
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: not giving up that number one, the number one running

427
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: back spot, and it's just like that, it's May and

428
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: he was getting first team reps in otis, which really

429
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: means nothing. Um, once the pad comes pads come out,

430
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: it will be a different story. But um, you I

431
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: do like what's there. And that was a perfect fit

432
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: for him to fall into the thing with Tevin Coleman,

433
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: is I get it from. And this is where real

434
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: life and fantasy totally are are different. Tevin Coleman, for

435
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: a real life perspective, runs into the line and a

436
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: lot of times he will just fall down, but it's immaterial.

437
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: If he runs ten times, it gets ten yards. And

438
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: then on the eleventh Carrie breaks out of seventy five

439
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: yard down, because that's all we care about in fantasy.

440
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: He's the total number of yards and the total number

441
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: of touchdowns. And in that situation, again, with all those

442
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: weapons on the outside, you can't stack the box. But

443
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: he looks like he could be UH in for a

444
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: very good a very good year, and I have him

445
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: as my UH top rookie running back. I think you

446
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: have to remember too that a lot of times opportunity

447
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: will supersed talent. Sure, I mean absolute. Sean salam was

448
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: a Heisman Trophy guy who rushed for a thousand yards

449
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: his career, right, Thomas Um, I'm talking about a couple

450
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: of old Bears running backs. But we wouldn't have liked

451
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: Bishop Sanky last year if he hadn't gone to the

452
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: Titans and they had an opening. Yeah, I did. I

453
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: was completely wrong on that one. Coleman's got an opportunity.

454
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: Yelden's got an opportunity, right, Cob potentially has an opportunity.

455
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: So that's a big part of the reason why their

456
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: fantasy values are intriguing to us. Deep sleepportunity deep sleepers.

457
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: Give me one fan, I got a lot of them here,

458
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: I mean Duke Johnson. I love Miami Florida running backs

459
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: because Cleveland back field doesn't scare you though, and nine

460
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: has anybody grabbed it really and taken it? I mean,

461
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: but that's why it's a deep sleeper, Okay, because these

462
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: guys are not the types of players that you're gonna say, Oh,

463
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: home run for sure, sure, Josh Hill in New Orleans.

464
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: Other good one, Jimmy like that on uh, somebody you

465
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: take a flyer on somewhere in the later round so

466
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: that I actually do like Latimer too. I'm not gonna

467
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: say that he's a first round pick, of course, joking

468
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,959
Speaker 1: Lee in the opening segment, but hard not to like him.

469
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot opperatunities worth a late round

470
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: flyer for sure. Tody Latimer. You gotta like what's going

471
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: on there in that offense with then moving him to

472
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: the outside and sliding U Manny Sanders to borrow Adam

473
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: Rank's nickname for him, and where do you where do

474
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: you take him? Cody Latimer? Yeah, one of the last.

475
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: But he's on my Dynasty League team and I'm fired

476
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: up a big he's fired up. He's a good depth pick.

477
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,239
Speaker 1: You want to have a couple of guys ahead of him.

478
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: But if you can grab him as a you know,

479
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth wide receiver and rounds twelve and on

480
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: and get to feel good about that, all right, hit

481
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: me with David Johnson because you're you're the guy, um,

482
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: gal hard that all. I kind of sort of introduced

483
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: me to David Johnson a little bit, said, hey, keep

484
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: your eye out for this guy. And I'll tell you what.

485
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: I look at the I looked at the tape and

486
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: then uh looked at the stats, and then I looked

487
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: at his combine and I'm like, holy cow, David Johnson

488
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: is the real deal. The only thing, uh, that I

489
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: hold against David Johnson because I do really like his

490
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: potential a lot, and I know, um, you know, Mike

491
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: Mayok talked him up, as we both know, and there's

492
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot to love there is. He just doesn't

493
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: have that like lateral agility you like, you know, the

494
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: phone booth thing. He's not gonna squeeze out of a

495
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: lot of things. But he's a natural pass catcher. He's

496
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: a big back, so he's hard to bring down. He's

497
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 1: not as powerful as you'd like for his size. You know,

498
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: he's not gonna bowl people over like Marshawn Lynch and

499
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy. But in that offense, he could, uh, you know,

500
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: he could do a lot of dain, a lot of

501
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: damage on third down because they're never gonna know if

502
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: he's gonna come through the tackles or swing around on

503
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: the outside and catch a pass six one two pounds.

504
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,719
Speaker 1: He ran a four five forty, He's got a forty

505
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: in vertical, a ten foot broad jump, and I think

506
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: he's explosion right there. I mean, I think he tossed

507
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: the bench press twenty five times if I'm not mistaken.

508
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: So David Johnson, and look, I know he's in Arizona.

509
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't know him. He's got a

510
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: very plain name and uh and he comes from northern Iowa.

511
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: They got David Johnson and John Bryant, right. Um. Yeah,

512
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: So I I know a lot of people don't know him,

513
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: but I imagine once the preseason games start get going, Um,

514
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think him and uh Andre Allanton will

515
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: be a very very nice and a very intriguing one

516
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: to combo there. Uh in Arizona. I definitely haven't marked

517
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 1: down as a as a as a pretty nice sleeper

518
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: as well, you know, and uh, in that draft kit,

519
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: by the way nfl dot Com slash draft kit. Uh,

520
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: we talked about bargains and he's one of the top

521
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: guys that I talked about in terms of being able

522
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: to draft a guy in rounds ten and on that

523
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: could really provide some pretty sweet, uh dividends. But um,

524
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: how about you, Mark, It's give me a deep sleeper?

525
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it bad? Is it? Is it? Home

526
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: worship the USC guy, says Nelson Agalorgan not at all,

527
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: because I like him. Man, I like him too, And

528
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 1: he's a guy. He's not he's not necessarily a speed burner,

529
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: but he's a guy. I think of all those guys

530
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: that they had at SC over the last few years,

531
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: and you talk about Robert Woods and Mark Kasley, Aglore

532
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: was the one who I thought was the most polished

533
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver, not just an athlete. He was

534
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: a guy with very consistent hands. He's a good route runner,

535
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: and he's a guy who I think slots really well

536
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: in that Eagles offense. I mean, you're you're going to

537
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: have Jordan Matthews on one side. He's gonna be the

538
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: big playmaker. We talked about the running backs they have

539
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 1: in Al is that guy who's kind of I think

540
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: he's kind of gonna get lost in the wash A

541
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: lot of your defense, you're not necessarily looking out for him,

542
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: but I think that allows him to get especially in

543
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, a guy who can run slants,

544
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: who can run crossing routes and really make some plays.

545
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: And he's a guy who you know, if you're taking

546
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: a chance on him late in your draft, he could

547
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: give you some decent numbers. Maybe not on a weekly basis,

548
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: but certainly if the matchups right, he could have a

549
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: decent season. Can say I know where, I know where

550
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: you're going with where never like USC wide receivers. Oh

551
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: boy ever, Okay, I actually wouldn't mind have an as

552
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: the late run pick. Yes, because of the system, because

553
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: Jeremy maclan is gone, and they have to have somebody

554
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: catching passes out there, and I think it's gonna be

555
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: Miles Austin, So there's opportunity there, just like we had

556
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: talked about earlier. So I would not I wouldn't have

557
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: drafted Mark's Lee or Robert Woods or any of these

558
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: curtain jerkers, but I would absolutely take a flyer on

559
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: a And I think people are are going to draft

560
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: him a little bit earlier because of based on the system.

561
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: Based on the name too though, because a lot of

562
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: folks have seen USC games and they recognized the name

563
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: Nelson agholor when you start getting deep in drafts, man,

564
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, you're gonna take guys based off of

565
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 1: just sheer names, just that you recognized that exactly. It's like, oh,

566
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: I know this guy, alright, cool, I'll take him, but yeah,

567
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: I like him as a deep sleeper as well. You're right,

568
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: the ball's gotta go somewhere, right, They're gonna toss the

569
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: ball five d six hundred times. Uh next year, somebody's

570
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: got to catch those passes, so exactly right, Um, can

571
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: I toss in one more? Deeply? Speaking of interesting names,

572
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: the position we've kind of neglected so far on the

573
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: podcast tight end, and for good reason, because aside from

574
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: the top few, the rest of that position looks about

575
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: as good as the Star Wars prequels on a shelf.

576
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 1: You know what, though, wait a minute, Revenge of This

577
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: I like that has its moments like that minute Lava,

578
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: But I mean that was that's wrong. I enjoyed Revenge

579
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: of Okay, Okay, so I want to I want to

580
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: throw out a guy speaking of good names, Crockett Gilmore

581
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: to t S two l's second year tight end for

582
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. Wait, but but but Max Williams. They drafted,

583
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: They did draft Max Williams. However, rookie tight ends FABS

584
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: had a good stat um last year and I updated

585
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: it based on last year's draft. So it's eighty nine.

586
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: Where did I put this? Oh, it's up here. Eighty

587
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: nine tight ends have been drafted in the last six

588
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: years the NFL draft. How many do you think have

589
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: finished in the top twenty three? I know four. It's

590
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: four eighty nine. Four rookie ted ends. For whatever reason,

591
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: they got a bulk up a little bit. Gotta learn

592
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: to block run the routes doesn't work as much. Uh So,

593
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: Crocket Gilmore's probably gonna slide is the number on guy.

594
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: We don't know what's happening with Denis Dennis Pitta and

595
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: his hip and Mark Trustman, the new offensive coordinator for

596
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens, had Jay Cutler throw the ball a ton

597
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: Martelli Spenners a couple of years in Chicago. His receptions, yards,

598
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: and touchdowns were all career highs or tied career highs

599
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: and his two years in Chicago Marty Bennett. So this

600
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: is a guy you're probably be able to get in

601
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: literally one of the last rounds Rocket Gilmore rap as

602
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: fold as Marty that remains to Marty rap really well,

603
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: I mean, like, you know, how high is the bar

604
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: set for this future future episode we'll have a rat

605
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: battle Crockett and Marty Source raps Black Unicorn. But as

606
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: a guy to circle, Yeah, that's interesting. Again, that's what

607
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: He's a guy that was on the that helps no

608
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: one board, I believe, or at least a candidate. He

609
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: was on at least once. He had like ten catches

610
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: of buck twenty and of one touchdowns. But it's definitely

611
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, you pull out those numbers and you thought

612
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: you start thinking about it really comes down to the

613
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: coaching carousel, and not just head coaches, but also that

614
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator position as well. So, uh, you know, I

615
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: think about Kyle Shanahan in Atlanta, you start thinking about

616
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: running backs. It would be a good fit for that

617
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: one cut scheme. Uh you mentioned it here in Baltimore.

618
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: You know you got trustman now and you pull up

619
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: some very interesting numbers regarding the Bears offense, and you

620
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: know you you know what you might be right, Crockett

621
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: Gilmore is certainly a name that, uh that I'm gonna

622
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: keep an eye out for. That's why, that's why galhars

623
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: a diaper Dandy Dick used to say, all right, who

624
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: do you think it's gonna break out? Here? We talked

625
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: about some sleepers, but but give me a guy, you know,

626
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: maybe a second maybe a third year guy we know

627
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: the name, uh maybe provided pretty good value next year,

628
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: last year, but this coming up year, who do you

629
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: think FABS is gonna bust out? A bunch of them?

630
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: I know you do, a bunch of them always Brandon Cooks,

631
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: I love him, I love I don't want to jink

632
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: some because I loved Cordarol Patterson last year and Brandon Cooks.

633
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, quarterback opportunity offense. Although I think they

634
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: are more balanced this year because of the moves they

635
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: made in the offseason. But Marcus Coulson, really, I mean,

636
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: you know his best days are behind him? And who

637
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: else do they have catching balls out there? Know, Jimmy Graham,

638
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: You're you're looking at a lot of volume targets from

639
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: Drew Brees and the Saints. Maybe they don't score as

640
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: much as they have in the past, but they'll still

641
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: put up some points. He has got all the looks

642
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: of a guy who could be a Number one Fantasy

643
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver at some point in his career. Maybe it's

644
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: this year. And also keep in mind too, we did

645
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: see a lot of rookie wide receivers play well last year.

646
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: That was not the norm lately. If you look at

647
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: the last five to ten years, it's been those second

648
00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: year wide receivers, you know, Alshon Jeffrey for examples. Maybe

649
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: you've got guys right, Nuke, You've got guys now that

650
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: are really coming into their own in that second year.

651
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: And Cooks is coming into his second year. I love him.

652
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 1: I'm hoping to get him in almost every draft I'm in.

653
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if I will because the hype train

654
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: will be rolling at a million miles an hour. But

655
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: there's there's just a ton to like about him. Marcus Grant, Uh,

656
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: you know what. I like Brendon Cooks. I like Crockett

657
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: Gilmore that that Alex just mentioned. But the guy that

658
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: I'm really big on, Latavius Murray. A part because I mean,

659
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: I liked what I saw from him last year. He

660
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: played really well for the Raiders, and in part because

661
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: you wore your dad's Raiders starter jacket back in the

662
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: early night, the one that I wore, and he told

663
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: me if I got a stain on it and not

664
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: come home, yeah that one. Uh yeah, So I like him. Plus.

665
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: The other thing about Let's Savis Murray is you know

666
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: who his backup is, right, It's Trent Richardson. Right, means

667
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: Murray is going to get every opportunity to succeed in

668
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: Oakland that he possibly. How funny would it be if

669
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: Roy Halloo comes in and snakes more touchdowns like he did?

670
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: And and then at some point Let's Savious Muriel asked

671
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: for Alfred Morris's phone number, like, hey, how did you

672
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: deal with group? Right? But yeah, I mean I think

673
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: and and I like kind of what the Raiders are

674
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: doing with the young core. I mean they're trying to

675
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: create their own triplets with Derek Carr now our Maury Cooper,

676
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: and I think let's have his Murray can fit in

677
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: with it. They really got to take the handcuffs off them.

678
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they were protecting him a lot last year. Um,

679
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: and I get it. You know he had that uh

680
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: was it a concussion injury in the game where he

681
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: had like a hundred twenty yards on four carries. Uh yeah, no,

682
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: he's Uh, I mean, I forgot what his exact numbers are,

683
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: but he ran like a four to five forty or something.

684
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a big bull, the big dude. I

685
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: just I mean, I like exactly what he offers there.

686
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: Now he's another guy. That game against Kansas City, he

687
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: had two carries basically before he got hurt, he had

688
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: over a hundred yards and a couple of touchdowns. And

689
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: uh well, by the way, if you want to get

690
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: to know Murray a little bit better, he will be

691
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: at the National Fantasy Football And in July attend to

692
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: the twelfth Sorry shameless plug, I'm co hosting with Tony Romo.

693
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: All good, Hey, give the people that website uh www

694
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: dot go, n FFC, dot com FC and by the way,

695
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,480

696
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: and yourself and Mr Grant will be in attendance there.

697
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: Since you've got a shameless plug for self promotion, we

698
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: could do one as well. We're actually thinking of doing

699
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: a mock draft with some of us and some fans mentioned,

700
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: so getting on that will probably posted on Twitter more information. Yes,

701
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: as we get to get closer to Yeah, I mean,

702
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: who doesn't want to do a mock draft with Gino Smith? Uh?

703
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: Let's see. Uh Ryan Fitzpatrick maybe, well you're the starter

704
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: right now? Who he got tabbed as a breakout guy?

705
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: Breakout for me? I got a lot of names I

706
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: like on this list that we haven't touched on yet,

707
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: So I think I'm gonna go with Chuck Johnson, the

708
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings, was coming on a

709
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: lot last year with Teddy Bridgewater. Sure, um, they I

710
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: read of great Jennings and know they brought in Mike Wallace,

711
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: but that guy just runs go routes and will catch

712
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, one or two here, and they're his magical

713
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: season ten touchdown year was kind of a fluke. Um.

714
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 1: I like the report Charles Johnson was building with Teddy Bridgewater,

715
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: and I think that the two of them both could

716
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: could have something nice like him a lot to see. Really,

717
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of chemistry there with with Charles another

718
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: small school guy, Grand Valley something or other, I don't

719
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: know where, I don't know that one someone someone on Twitter.

720
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: Let's check the you you you figure out that magical

721
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: phone and then I'm gonna I'm gonna give my breakout

722
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: guy um to me. You know, Jordan Matthews looks like

723
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: the real deal. He's got the size, he's got the hands, um,

724
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: and he's in a great offensive system. The one thing

725
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: that does obviously worry me Sam Bradford. Uh, you know,

726
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't necessarily have that rapport with Sam Bradford. But

727
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: but again, no Jeremy macklin um, and really, quite honestly,

728
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: there's not really Sam Bradford don't really have a rapport

729
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: with anybody. So he's gotta come harder to get a

730
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: report when you're on the sidelines getting rehab from another

731
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: a sea. Who's who's the backup quarterback? Sanchez? Mark Sanchez? Okay,

732
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: so Sanchito, it does have some pretty nice report with

733
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews, as we saw last year because when when

734
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez came in, who was the primary benefitshery? Yeah,

735
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: well you saw that that Thanksgiving Day game the Cowboys,

736
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: when when Sanchez and and Jordan Matthews both just exactly exactly.

737
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: So I really like Jordan Matthews as a breakout guy. Um,

738
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: let's talk about rookies, man, because it's it's really interesting.

739
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: Last year, as FABS mentioned, there was a lot of

740
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: rookie wide receivers that played extremely well that that was

741
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: not the norm. But is it the norm? We've got

742
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: some running backs here man that that I know we're

743
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: all very very excited about. Um. Is there a rookie

744
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: running back or wide receiver that that you want to

745
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: spend some time on? Well, clearly we got to talk

746
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: about Melvin Gordon. He is going to be the first

747
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: rookie drafted in every traditional fantasy league unless year, of course,

748
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: a family member of another road coming into the league

749
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: or something of that nature. But goes into his system

750
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: in San Diego where he's going to be the featured

751
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 1: back number one time to Danny Woodheads a pass catcher,

752
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: but a lot of people compare him to Jamal Charles

753
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: because of his size, stature, the way that he runs.

754
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: Anytime he touches the ball, he's a threat to take

755
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: it to the end zone rush forwards. Last year, Uh,

756
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: and just explosive player. Now, if I'm in a dynasty league,

757
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: which by the way, the three of us are UH,

758
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: and we're wrapping up our draft here at the in

759
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: house league. I was lucky enough to get Todd Gurley

760
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: number two. And I was number two because my team

761
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: sucked last year because I drafted Jimmy Graham in the

762
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: first round and had Monte Ball and Zack Stacey. But

763
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: it was brutal. But I now have C J. Anderson

764
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: by the way, UH, and I have trade bars, and

765
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: I was able to get Todd Gurley. If Gurley is

766
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: half as good as what people are talking about, he

767
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: is going to be amazing and fantasy comparing him to

768
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson and Marshawn Lynch, a bruising type of runner

769
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: who's at three down back and doesn't need to come

770
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: off the field. Uh. We have to see what happens

771
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: with the A C. L reconstruction. There's been Talkie could

772
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: be put on the pup list, which means you'd missed

773
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 1: the first six weeks. So we'll see what happens there.

774
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: But this is the guy in dynasty leagues that I

775
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 1: would be targeting Gordon in the UH in those redrafts, certainly,

776
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: but this year is gonna be fun. I'm a running

777
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: back guy. I've always been a running back guy. And

778
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: last year's running back class stunk. It was lousy except

779
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: for Jeremy Hill, and no one was talking about him

780
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: because we all like Giovanni Bernard. This year you have

781
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: got a list of guys. You've got Gordon and Girly

782
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: and yelled In and coleman Uh and Abdullah who we

783
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: haven't talked about, a lot of guys with a lot

784
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: of intrigue. Let's put it that way, all right, Gil

785
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: har Well, I was actually gonna mention Abdula because, like

786
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: you made the point earlier, Fabs, when we're talking about

787
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: some of these rookies is what makes so many of

788
00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: them attractive this year is the opportunity in there in

789
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 1: their offenses. And while I am a big fan of

790
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: theoretic in Detroit, a Mirabdulah is just fantastic. He can

791
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: do it all for a small for a small guy,

792
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: he's got some power, He's got all the moves in

793
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: the book. Like there's an Xbox controller in front of us.

794
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: He got every button if it was Madden. You know,

795
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: I haven't played a video game and like so long,

796
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: I think the last time I held a controller was

797
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: my Sega Genesis. This thing is really really heavy. It

798
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: might be some good Fabs plays Madden. I mean, that

799
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 1: would be good. That would be good. I know, I

800
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: forget it, but yeah, I think, and I don't. We

801
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: don't want to get too so long. And there are

802
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: a lot of other veteran guys that you can get behind.

803
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: But um, you know, when you're looking at it, um.

804
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: I looked at the top twenty five running back finishers

805
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. There's on average almost about

806
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: eight or ten new faces in that top twenty five

807
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: every year, and a lot of times the rookies. So

808
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: that's why I think the picking more and more rookie

809
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: running backs becoming in vogue and fantasies because a lot

810
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: of these guys are young, they're fresh, and they're coming

811
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 1: into good situations where they can make an immediate impact

812
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: theoretic a very good pass catcher out the backfield. They

813
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: lost Reggie Bush, so there will be some extra opportunities

814
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,919
Speaker 1: there for a mirror Abdullah, who was extremely productive at Nebraska. Um.

815
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: But man, I tell you, I do like Joike Bell

816
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: this year. I liked him last year too, and injuries

817
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: kind of you know, nipped him there. But I do

818
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: like him I think he's gonna be He's a good

819
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: fit for that offensive system. I'm curious to see how

820
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: because I thought I felt like the Lions had a

821
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: running back committee and maybe in the truest sense of

822
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: the word um where you know Bell and and Bush,

823
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: they were almost fifty fifty when it when it came

824
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: to snaps last year. So I'm curious now that as

825
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: you mentioned that Reggie's gone, he's in San Francisco, what

826
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 1: happens with Riddick, what happens with that dulo, what happens

827
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: with Bell? Like are we going to see that same

828
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: sort of of time share this year? Because I mean,

829
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: I joke Bell was was a revelation last year, and

830
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 1: I had to guess. I think that Amerabdula because first

831
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 1: of all, he's exceptional on special teams as well. Yes,

832
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: and that's part of the reason why they drafted him.

833
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: I really think that they will utilize him on on

834
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: special teams, so he's gonna get some touches there, but

835
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: you don't really get too many fantasy points on special teams.

836
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: But I think Joike, if if I were to guess,

837
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: I think Joyke is gonna get about the carries and

838
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: then a mirrorb duel will get the rest. Keep in mind, though,

839
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: when you're a good special teams player, that means you

840
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: are active every week. And when joyke Bell fumbles, or

841
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: when joyke Bell can't get things going right and they're

842
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: looking for a spark there, they throw that kid in.

843
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if in the second half of

844
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: next season he didn't lead the Lions in backfield touches.

845
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: And speaking of fumbles that they were a concern for

846
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: Abdul a lot in college. But he has gotten better

847
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: over his course. I think I want to say, like

848
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: seven or eight of his career fumbles were in his

849
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: rookie kie, his freshman season in college, and then he

850
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: whittled those down each year. So he's gotten a lot better.

851
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: He's gonna be ready to take that. That was That

852
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: was the one downfall. By the way, Big Ten running

853
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: Backs best conference ever last year in terms of running backs.

854
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: This is crazy. I mean, we're looking at Tevin Coleman,

855
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: we look at Jeremy Langford in Chicage. I mean, these

856
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: guys are also rans. Jeremy Langford was an extremely good player.

857
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 1: David Cobb is there, Tevin Coleman is there. We talked

858
00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: about the kid in San Diego, Melvin Notting. I want

859
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: to say early. No, that's not right. Uh yeah, Melvin Gore.

860
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, so it's incredible the conference last year

861
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,720
Speaker 1: really uh really showed up and showed out. It was great. Um,

862
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: all right, so those are those are your rookies? Uh?

863
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 1: Very quickly, I want to talk about draft strategies because

864
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: I feel like the game is evolving and Fabs, I

865
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,240
Speaker 1: know you. You make some very good arguments, very good points,

866
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: um about again sticking to the old guard rationale of

867
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 1: taking a quarterback late. Um, And it's not a dig anya.

868
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,439
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of statistical evidence to back

869
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,720
Speaker 1: up what you're saying. But there are guys now because

870
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: it's such a passing league, and I'm specifically thinking about

871
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and uh and Andrew Luck that could maybe

872
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: break the mold here um and are are solid middle

873
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: to late first round picks. And the reason I would

874
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: say that it is because on a week to week

875
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: basis a you're not stress now about the quarterback position.

876
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: And also again we talked about game breakers, week breakers.

877
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, these are guys that could put up forty

878
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: fifty let me, let me get in here. You get

879
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: in here up the whole time. One you say that

880
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about the quarterback position, but

881
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: you'll be worrying about the running back position because you

882
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,399
Speaker 1: passed on it early, or the wide receiver position. And oh,

883
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: by the way, quarterbacks can kill you too. I mean,

884
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: in week fifteen of last year, how many quarterbacks were awful?

885
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:36,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers Luck, I mean they were terrible. Russell Wilson

886
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: was one of the best. I had Peyton Manning for

887
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: the first uh first, you know, half of the season,

888
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 1: and it was fantastic. I made that trade that that

889
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 1: ended up burning me, and I would have uh, I

890
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 1: shouldn't have done it. But um lost him at money

891
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 1: Smith in the championship because Manning was dreadful. And if

892
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: you look at the top six quarterbacks right now, Rogers

893
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: is he worth the first? Or of course is is

894
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: Andrew luck wheth of course he is. I just don't

895
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: subscribe to that Lotsopy. Peyton mannings thirty nine, Drew Brees

896
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: is thirty six, thirty seven Tom Brady's and potentially suspended

897
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: for four games if the appeal doesn't work out in

898
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:15,399
Speaker 1: his favor um Manning was dreadful last year, Breeze has

899
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: been bad on the road. Um, so is it really no?

900
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: But is it really that? Yes, of course that's what

901
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,959
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But I just don't do that. I'm saying

902
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: they were worth the first round pick, just not to me.

903
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: What you just said there is exactly why I like

904
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 1: Luck or Rogers in the very first round, because there's

905
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: so much instability on a week to week basis given

906
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: all those other guys you just mentioned. But he is.

907
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 1: Now you're saying exactly, it's not gonna be very So

908
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: you're saying, I'm gonna stress out about the running back

909
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: position or wide receiver or wide receiver. And yes, you

910
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: are correct, except for the fact that, man, I'm looking

911
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: at all these rookies that I would be that I

912
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: would love to take later on in track, and I

913
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: think the for me, if you're at the back half

914
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: of that first round, I think I said, if you

915
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,479
Speaker 1: were in the top six or seven slots, you're taking

916
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: a running back because there are only a handful of it.

917
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: If you're in that back half of that draft, then

918
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: you start looking at running backs that you have questions about,

919
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: and the other part of that is over the course

920
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: of the year, you're gonna have to play the waiver wire.

921
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: When you look at you go back and you look

922
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: at the top ten backs, even the top you expand

923
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: outs of the top backs, there are six or seven

924
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 1: guys that landed in the top twenty five that were

925
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: waiver wire guys. And justin course set can I throw

926
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: another cow running backs out there while we're riding. Was

927
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: he in the top twenty five last year? And remember, um,

928
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, I mean so, so you're gonna end up

929
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: playing the waiver wire there, and I would like, I

930
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: just would kind of like to be able to have

931
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: that guy that I feel like can get me, you know,

932
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: depending on the position eighteen to twenty five points a

933
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 1: week and not have to worry about it where you

934
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: know it looks uh you know, as they said in

935
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: a Gatorade commercial once, if you want a revolution, the

936
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: only solutions evolved. So at some point you gotta change.

937
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: I feel like you you gotta change your draft strategy outside.

938
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 1: You know, I just I get thirsty sometimes and I

939
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: need something at my desk. I think it Also, it

940
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 1: also depends on what the fellow owners in your league

941
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 1: sort of what philosophy. They subscribe to a point because

942
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: in the experts leagues, Um that I'm going back to

943
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 1: you guys are with I was in a mock draft

944
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: last night and Aaron Rodgers I think was a third

945
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: round pick and Luck was a third round pick. Um,

946
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm Brady didn't go until the tenth round. Right. So

947
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 1: if you're in a league where people go gaga for quarterbacks,

948
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: things are gonna change. If you're in a two QB league,

949
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 1: things are gonna change. If you're in a PPR league,

950
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: things are gonna change. If you know from being in

951
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: your league for several years that running backs are gonna

952
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,919
Speaker 1: go early, that's gonna alter your drive strategy. You're gonna

953
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: want to focus on that position. But you can't get

954
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: the value at running back and wide receiver after round

955
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: eight that you can at quarterback. I love Cam Newton.

956
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: I would take him in the seventh, eighth round. I

957
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: think he'll be a bargain. Tony Romo scored more Fantasy

958
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: points in the last four weeks of last year than

959
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: any quarterback in the league. You can get him after

960
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: the tenth round in a lot of leagues. Uh, and

961
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: maybe maybe the highest will goes around eight or nine. Uh,

962
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: Philip rivers the same kind of thing. Ryan Tannehill was

963
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: a top ten fantasy quarterback. I know he's that the

964
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: sexiest name in the world. Life is You've got to

965
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: remember that. I mean that there are big names that

966
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: are gonna go too high because of the name value.

967
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: And then there's other quarterbacks like Teddy Bridgewater could be

968
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: a top ten quarterback this season. We just we just

969
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: don't know, Uh, someone is going to break into that

970
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: top but to but to use your own argument against you,

971
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: you have to do that top ten is there's a

972
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: big difference between the number one running back and the

973
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: number ten running back. Sure, there's a huge difference between

974
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: the number one quarterback and the number ten quarterback. So

975
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: so what I'm saying in terms of I get your

976
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: scarcity argument, I've I've subscribed to the scarcity argument for avert.

977
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: I get it. But I'm starting to come around to

978
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: the point where I'm thinking, Look, first two, you're the

979
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: guy we dropped Tom Brady last year, right and then

980
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 1: had him offered back to here move by Matt money Smart. Uh, look,

981
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna borrow a Ralph Lawler is um for those

982
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: folks here in l No, I'm not using the big

983
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: first two hundred. It's it's Lawler's law first to a

984
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: D and standard in standard UH formats, A lot of

985
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: times is gonna win you, uh the week if you

986
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: can get to a hundred. So I'm looking at total points.

987
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: If Andrew Luck can give me thirty, if Aaron Rodgers

988
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 1: can give me thirty, can I get a lot? Can

989
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: I get seven of those guys including defense kicker defense

990
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: kicker maybe not kick would I wouldn't say thirty, But

991
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: I feel like for Rodgers and you can get me

992
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: between twenty to twenty five on a weekly basis that

993
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: oh yeah, there's no doubt about it. I'm just that's

994
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 1: that's the only reason I'm being kind of sway. Quarterback,

995
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: You've got to look at relative value. You really do.

996
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: You'r the running back you're gonna get uh in the

997
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: ninth or tenth round is going to be maybe your

998
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: your fourth running back. Uh. The quarterback you can get

999
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: can be your starter. UH, And I would all day long, listen.

1000
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: It's the nature of the position. I remember a few

1001
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: years ago, uh, Eli Manning had more Fantasy points than

1002
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: than Ray Rice, and Ray Rice was a pretty good

1003
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: fantasy running back because of the nature of the position.

1004
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: So when you have such a plentiful number of quarterbacks

1005
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 1: who can give me you know, Manning was a top

1006
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 1: ten quarterback last year, when there's so many guys at

1007
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: that position that can put up fifteen to twenty points

1008
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: a game. Uh, and and do it easily because of

1009
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 1: the rules in the league. At this point, I would

1010
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: just rather go with the position, or I could and

1011
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: just just hear me out on this. I gott have

1012
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers at the first and then get Cam and

1013
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: the tenth is my backup. Hello, we're talking about the scarcity.

1014
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: I think, like Marcus hit it on the head, though,

1015
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,760
Speaker 1: is the sweet spot where you consider drafting a quarterbacks

1016
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: at the back end of the first round, whereas while

1017
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: you can get good production out of those guys later,

1018
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: you have a lot of questions about the running backs

1019
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: you're staring at at picks, you know, like eight through

1020
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: sixteen or so, like, do you really want to hedge

1021
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: your bets that C. J. Anderson is not going to

1022
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: turn into money ball this year and get you starved

1023
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: by you know, Ronnie Hillman. And it's it's going back

1024
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: to your point of who's got the highest floor, right,

1025
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: The floor for C. J. Anderson is awfully low. There's

1026
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: a lot of there's a lot of high ceilings and

1027
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,280
Speaker 1: and like low floors those guys, which is a terrifying

1028
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: range to work. Whereas if you can get uh, you know,

1029
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers Andrew Luck there, and then heads your

1030
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: bets by taking three or four of those guys in

1031
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: your best couple of picks, then you're just gonna have

1032
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: to you know, you're gonna have to. You're gonna have

1033
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: some weeks where the best guys on your bench or

1034
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: he's not in. I think, I think for I think

1035
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:50,720
Speaker 1: for a seasoned fantasy UH players, savvy guys, the question

1036
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: is not whether you take Andrew Luck or Aaron Rodgers

1037
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: in the in like the eighth, ninth, or tenth or

1038
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: eleventh pick. I get that everyone a lot of folks

1039
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,760
Speaker 1: are going to be considering that. What I'm advocate is saying,

1040
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: is Andrew Luck or Aaron Rodgers are they feasible picks

1041
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 1: at number four or five? That's a little too rich

1042
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:16,240
Speaker 1: for me. I'm gonna hop on fab you have to

1043
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: remember jump on board. You you have to remember to

1044
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: that again, the nature of the quarterback position, they're going

1045
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: to score more points than every other position just because

1046
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: they have the ball in their hands every offensive snap.

1047
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: You have to remember that. The fact of the matter

1048
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 1: here is that if you pass on that position at

1049
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: running back or wide receiver early, you are going to

1050
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 1: be scratching your head. Who were your running backs? I

1051
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 1: remember last year you had good quarterbacks, but you're running

1052
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: back to Your wide receivers were awful, and you were

1053
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 1: always freaking out about who you had s court was

1054
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: was legit? I think? I mean I had well, first

1055
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 1: of all, I playing five or six leeks, so it's

1056
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: like hard to keep I don't even know. I remember

1057
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: because you were always complaining about maybe it is running

1058
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: back that you know. I don't know who to start,

1059
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what to do here. But

1060
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 1: you had what breeze and Brady? Uh no, no, no,

1061
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: I did not. That would be Matt Mike Smith. Yeah,

1062
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 1: because Mat Money Money always always has breeze. It's like

1063
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,479
Speaker 1: it's like the you know, the memorial, the annual Matt

1064
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 1: Money Smith pick. Is you know you had someone to

1065
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: drop Brady? Who did you have? No? I was I

1066
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: was going just crazy. Waiver wire picks and just going

1067
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:32,839
Speaker 1: week by streaming stream and you dropped Tom Brady had

1068
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 1: no one else to start out. And here's the thing.

1069
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: If you take if you take Rogers at four or five,

1070
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: and I love Aaron Rodgers, that means you're passing on

1071
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,720
Speaker 1: you know, say a a Matt Forte or an Aeryan Foster,

1072
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: and those guys are they are too valuable in and

1073
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: of themselves. I will gladly pass on Matt Forte and

1074
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 1: Arian Foster for Aaron Rodgers. Go well, we know, and

1075
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 1: I will go and I will gladly take four. When

1076
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: they fall in my lap, very, I will buy you

1077
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: a beer and like say thank you. Okay, if I

1078
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 1: have the number five pick is better? If I have

1079
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: a number five pick. Is there any possible I can

1080
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:14,320
Speaker 1: go all cal Bears? Is there any Roger Sean Jackson?

1081
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 1: Third right? Exactly? And That's what I'm doing. Can I

1082
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: do that with CenTra Connecticut? Probably not? Can we all

1083
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: play in that league where you attempt that? Because third round,

1084
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 1: I go justin for set, So I've got a ce

1085
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: j Anderson justin for said backfield with Okay, alright, where

1086
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: where are you? Where are you taking? Marvin Jones. We're

1087
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: getting to kind of wrap this back up, bring it

1088
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 1: back around to why I think most of us are

1089
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: scared if we're drafting, if you're taking or of taking

1090
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: Rogers at four or five, is because like looking at

1091
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 1: those top running backs over the last three years, there

1092
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: have only been seven that have had multiple top ten finishes. Uh,

1093
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 1: Marco Murray, Marshawn Lynch, Matt Forte, Aaron Foster, Eddie Lacy,

1094
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles, and I think I missed one note that's

1095
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 1: oh and Adrian Peterson and he would have probably had

1096
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: three straight had he not lost last year to suspension,

1097
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 1: and last year was Foster's Uh, he probably would have

1098
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: three straight as well, but he had a rash of injuries.

1099
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 1: Still finished for so fantasy points at running right last

1100
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 1: year and he and I mean it wasn't saying last

1101
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: year is a bad years all those games in injury.

1102
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 1: But however, you look at those guys, um, there's a

1103
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 1: lot of parody at running back on the back end,

1104
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,240
Speaker 1: But if you have a chance at one of those

1105
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,839
Speaker 1: six or seven guys, that is much more of a lock,

1106
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: maybe not to win the position, but to stay in

1107
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 1: the top ten and give you that solid ten points

1108
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: every week, like you were saying your lawlor's laud one.

1109
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: I can't fathom passing on one of those guys. I

1110
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: get really scared after that. But those I'm scared by

1111
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 1: some of the guys in that list. But that's the

1112
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:42,399
Speaker 1: list that I try, I'm going to try and get.

1113
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: I think we gotta wrap up here. But I think

1114
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: from a historical perspective, you guys are a hundred percent right.

1115
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: I just think in this particular year, in this particular draft,

1116
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: with all of these rookie guys that are going so

1117
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: low in our in time shares, and all these veterans

1118
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 1: that I'm so worried about injury and usage and and

1119
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 1: all of those things. I look at I look at

1120
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,959
Speaker 1: these these rookie guys that I could get late. Man.

1121
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. I'm looking. I love

1122
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: the fact that James co is like gonna take a running,

1123
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: flying leap off this cliff and look doing it. One

1124
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,760
Speaker 1: of two things either happens, either sores or he sinks

1125
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: to the bottom like that's or he has to wear

1126
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: high heels. Oh you know what, I might have to

1127
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 1: piggyback on a jail. We may have a Jalen Strong

1128
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: high heel, and I thought that I like Jalen Strong,

1129
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: but I might have to talk to you about you

1130
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 1: just you just love those Houston white outs. Well, I

1131
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,879
Speaker 1: gotta keep the tradition going, you know, I gotta. Alright,

1132
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna be wearing high heels if you do that.
